( On-screen presentation returned at this time).

 

Resolution number FR/2020/34

MOVED by Chairperson A Baker, seconded by Deputy Chairperson A Fulljames:  

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)      provide the following local board views on Plan Change 22 and Plan Modification 12.

i)       supports in principle the proposed draft plan changes to the Auckland Unitary Plan (Operative in Part) and the Sites and Places of Significance to Mana Whenua  Overlay (the Overlay).

ii)      support Te Pou a Rangiwhiwhi as a site of significance noting the opportunity this presents for neighbouring developers to work in partnership with Ngati Tamaoho on a restorative planting plan that reflects cultural values, enhances the waterway environment and contributes to a sense of place for emerging communities in the area.

iii)     supports the inclusion of Hihiorapa, within the Hunua Ranges Regional           park, as a site of significance for Ngai Tai ki Tamaki; noting that the site is           a recreational and tourism resource for the region so there is opportunity           for Auckland Council’s regional parks department to work collaboratively           with Ngai Tai ki Tamaki to share and promote the cultural heritage of the           site to both locals and visitors.

iv)     request that staff clearly communicate the ramifications and opportunities from scheduling sites of significance to any existing user groups and neighbouring communities to proactively address existing fears and conjecture about diminished access or negative financial implications generated from this process

b)         do not intend to speak on behalf of the local board views at a hearing on the plan changes.

ii.    $135,025 for the Waiuku Development and Business Association.

c)         commend Waiuku Development and Business Association, Pukekohe Business

Association, and other non-BID business associations such as Clevedon Community and Business Association for doing an excellent job in supporting and facilitating solutions to the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on local business.
