Resolution
number PPK/2020/60
MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson J Robinson:
That
the Papakura Local Board:
a) receive consultation
feedback on the proposed
Papakura Local Board priorities for 2020/2021.
b) receive consultation feedback on regional
proposals in the Annual Budget 2020/2021 from people or organisations based
in the Papakura local board area.
c) provide the following feedback on the proposed
Annual Budget 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.
The board supports a consistent
“pay as you throw” system across the Auckland region and
believe solutions need to be found to prevent illegal dumping which could
include maintaining the weekly frequency of service.
|
|
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
change 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 Brent
Catchpole to provide the
feedback on the Emergency Budget 2020/20201 on behalf of the Papakura Local
Board to the Emergency Committee by 18 May 2020.
