Resolution
number PKTPP/2020/161
MOVED by Member B Shen, seconded by Chairperson J Fairey:
That
the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a)
recognise and support the
purpose of the Resource Recovery Network ‘to maximise the diversion of
reusable and recyclable materials from landfill and, in the process, generate
multiple environmental, social, cultural and economic benefits for
Auckland.’
b)
request that the
expanded strategy should be implemented equitably, in regard to both access
and opportunity, and to meet projected demand across the Auckland region.
c)
note the Resource
Recovery Network Strategy aligns with the Puketāpapa Local Board’s
Low Carbon Action Plan.
d)
note that the Puketāpapa
Local Board area does not currently have a public resource recovery facility.
e)
request the
consideration of geographic spread and projected population growth on the
development of the network across local board areas or clusters for ease of
access, benefits (including associated local job creation), and financial
viability, especially for local board areas which do not have a Resource
Recovery Network facility planned.
f)
encourage the early
involvement of local boards in the planning of the Resource Recovery Network
facilities particularly to mitigate the identified risk around the
availability of suitable sites.
g)
request
investigation of the benefits of some sites specialising in specific hard to
dispose of items, such as mattresses, to give scale and viability to
recycling efforts that will reduce illegal dumping.
