File No.: CP2020/08740
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To seek Whau Local Board feedback on the proposed regional topics in the Emergency Budget 2020/2021.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Auckland Council publicly consulted from 29 May to 19 June 2020 to seek community views on the proposed Emergency Budget 2020/2021.
3. The Annual Budget 2020/2021 was first consulted on in February/March 2020 (Consultation part 1). Since this consultation was undertaken, the COVID-19 pandemic has exerted significant pressure on the council’s financial position. This will have flow on effects for the proposed budget for the 2020/2021 financial year. The council has considered what those impacts are likely to be and have asked Aucklanders for their views on aspects of the proposed budget, now referred to as Emergency Budget 2020/2021, through a second round of consultation (Consultation part 2).
4. During the second round of consultation, Aucklanders were asked for their views on three key proposals:
· general rates increase for 2020/2021 of either 2.5 per cent or 3.5 per cent
· rates postponement for ratepayers impacted by COVID-19
· suspending the targeted rate paid by accommodation providers.
5. The council received feedback through telephone interviews, written forms, including online and hard copy forms, emails and letters.
6. This report will provide an opportunity to present a summary of the public feedback received through Consultation part 2 on the proposed Emergency Budget 2020/2021.
7. Local board views on these regional matters will be considered by the Governing Body (or relevant committee) before making final decisions on the Emergency Budget 2020/2021.
8. Out of the 34,915 submissions received on the regional proposals in the Emergency Budget 2020/2021, 1,177 submissions were from people living in the Whau local board area.
9. At the time of writing this report, the feedback had not yet been fully analysed. More detailed information will be tabled at the Whau Local Board meeting on 8 July 2020.
Recommendations That the Whau Local Board: a) receive consultation feedback on regional proposals in the Emergency Budget 2020/2021 from people or organisations based in the Whau local board area b) delegate to Chair K Thomas to coordinate and provide the local board’s feedback on the proposed Emergency Budget 2020/2021 by 12pm, Friday 10 July.
