Resolution
number MR/2020/50
MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson M Atama:
That
the Manurewa Local Board:
a) receive consultation
feedback on the proposed
Manurewa Local Board priorities for 2020/2021.
b) receive consultation feedback on regional
proposals in the Annual Budget 2020/2021 from people or organisations based

2020/2021.
|
Proposal
|
Feedback
|
|
Increase to the waste management
targeted rate base charges
|
The board
supports this increase as preferable to the alternative of a general rates
increase to pay for increased costs of this service.
|
|
Increase in charges for refuse
collection in former Auckland City and Manukau City
|
The board
supports this increase as preferable to the alternative of a general rates
increase to pay for increased costs of this service. We believe that the
current weekly frequency of this service must be maintained to avoid an
increase in illegal dumping.
|
|
Increase to the Waitākere
rural sewerage service and targeted rate
|
The board
has no position on this as it does not relate to its local board area.
|
|
Changes to charges for swimming
pool fencing inspections
|
The board
supports the proposed changed to charges for swimming pool fencing
inspections as these will assist pool owners to spread the cost of
inspections over three years and reduce administration costs to council.
|
|
Changes to building and resource
consent fees to improve transparency
|
The board
supports the proposed changes to calculating building and resource consent
fees to reduce the likelihood of overpayments and reduce administration
costs to council.
|
|
New and increased regulatory
fees and charges to recover costs
|
The board
supports the proposed new and increased regulatory fees to recover costs.
We support the introduction of an international visitor fee for the
Auckland Botanic Gardens to fund the upgrading of facilities and promotion
to overseas markets.
|
|
Require a New Zealand Green
Building Council HomeFit Assessment for all new Retrofit Your Home scheme
applications of more than $2,000
|
The board
does not support this as the additional cost and bureaucracy may discourage
some homeowners from taking part in the scheme.
|
|
Introducing a voluntary
financial assistance scheme to help Clevedon ratepayers with their water
and wastewater connection costs
|
The board
has no position on this as it does not relate to its local board area.
|
d)
delegate authority to Chairperson Joseph Allan to
provide the feedback on the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 on behalf of the
Manurewa Local Board to the Emergency Committee by 18 May 2020.
