Resolution number PKTPP/2020/28 MOVED by Deputy Chairperson J Fairey, seconded by Member E Kumar: That the Puketapapa Local Board: a) request an urgent update on progress to complete the second land exchange between Auckland Council and Fletcher Residential Ltd (FRL) in relation to the Three Kings Reserve and depot area, as agreed by Auckland Council, FRL and the Societies and as laid out in the settlement agreement reached between Three Kings United Group and South Epsom Planning Group with FRL, in lieu of further Court action, noting; i) the importance of this land exchange to achieving the open space and connection goals laid out in the Three Kings Plan, and as noted in the Environment Court decisions; ii) that the agreement between FRL and the Societies allows FRL to build on the Western Reserve after June 2020 and for the Societies to take a Judicial review or other proceedings, neither of which would be positive outcomes; and iii) the strong support of the local board for this land exchange to proceed; iv) noting that PSR is developing a concept plan for the Western Reserve and that any alternative access to and from adjacent streets should be consistent with this plan; the development of the Western Reserve could be taken into account when finalising commercial terms for the land exchange. b) seek advice as to how Auckland Council’s regulatory and compliance officers are taking a holistic approach to resident complaints in relation to works on the quarry site, and looking at them as a group of issues that are impinging on local residents over a long period of time and may have a cumulative effect, rather than as one-off incidents occurring in isolation; c) ask FRL to work with the Local Board to improve their public communications regarding changes to the carpark on Grahame Breed Dr, and access points to the area usually referred to as Western Reserve, Three Kings Reserve and Big King Reserve, during works in the carpark area, and encourage them to liaise closely with Tupuna Maunga Authority and the Local Board as adjacent land owners, including at the least; i) maps at all park entrances of the closures and redirections; ii) a letter drop to the local area; iii) meeting with each of the facilities in the area to discuss the carpark changes, including the Mt Roskill Library, CAB, City Fitness, and regular hirers at the Fickling Centre iv) visiting those living adjacent to the remaining access points, in particular on Fyvie Ave, and monitoring the impact on them through the alternative access arrangements. d) ask FRL to investigate: i) providing sections of the Grahame Breed carpark as an unsealed informal carparking area for users of local facilities as construction works allow, once remediation is complete. ii) providing more accessible alternative routes to Western Park, Three Kings Reserve and Big King Reserve than they have proposed. e) request FRL and Auckland Council to reinstate the quarterly Site Liaison Group meetings which have not met since November 2018, in regard to the quarry site operations and filling, as per the Fill Management Plan, to keep the general community up to date on development activities.
