Resolution
number FR/2020/98
MOVED by Member M Bell, seconded by Member A Cole:
That
the Franklin Local Board:
a) note
that feedback on the Resource Recovery Network Strategy update was provided
by urgent decision on 21 October 2020. The network strategy update is
provided as Attachment A of the agenda report, to enable local board views to
inform recommendations to the Environment and Climate Change Committee. Local board
feedback was as follows:
i)
the Franklin Local Board are
supportive of the refreshed Resource Recovery Network Strategy to expand the
current strategy from 12 community recycling centres in total to 23
facilities by 2031, including nine additional Community Recycling Centres and
two Resource Recovery Parks
ii)
the local board is supportive
of seeking additional funding for ongoing operational support for Community
Recycling Centres beyond their current five-year contracts to enable
continued service provision which has been instrumental in the success seen
with the ongoing operation of the Raglan Resource Recovery Centre
iii)
the local board advocates the
need for one Resource Recovery Park to be established in the Franklin Local
Board area to future-proof services for forecasted large population growth in
Drury, Pukekohe, Whitford, Beachlands, Clevedon and North Waikato areas.
iv)
the local board is supportive
of investigating a wide range of opportunities to secure sites, including new
models of ownership and operation and suggests investigation a joint venture
collaboration with Waikato District Council and not just restricting sites to
the Southern Initiatives (TSI) area.
v)
the local board promotes the
investigation of land next to the Stevenson Quarry, Drury as an accessible
site for a Resource Recovery Park which will mitigate some of the smell,
aesthetic challenges and noise generated by this type of operation, as well
as responding to the required capacity.
vi)
the local board suggest
allocating funding be set aside to manage illegal dumping that may occur.
b) note
that local board feedback will be included in a report to Environment and
Climate Change Committee in November 2020 seeking adoption of the updated
Resource Recovery Network Strategy.
