Local board views on Plan Change 53 - Temporary Activities and Pukekohe Park Precinct

Resolution number FR/2020/117

MOVED by Chairperson A Baker, seconded by Member A Kinzett:

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) endorse Plan Change 53 - Temporary Activities and Pukekohe Park precinct as follows:

i. the proposed plan change is aligned with Franklin Local Board Plan 2020 Outcome 1: our strengths generate local opportunity and prosperity and Outcome 3: places and facilities are fit for purpose

ii. suggest the plan change prevents activities involving fireworks as long as Pukekohe Park accommodates horses and while the area is home to several equine facilities

iii. the plan change improves the financial viability of the venue by enabling the venue to operate on an equal playing field with other venues across the region and in North Waikato e.g. Hampton Downs

iv. the board notes that the current plan provisions that excluded activity on ANZAC day forced the relocation of the supercars motor racing event, which is an important economic and community occasion.

v. the plan change reflects an understanding of the local context, including need for events and activities that provide local jobs and local economic opportunity and as a response to significant growth in Auckland’s southern edge and in the north Waikato.

b) appoint the chair of the Franklin Local Board Andrew Baker to speak to the local board views at a hearing on Plan Change 53.

c) delegate authority to the chairperson of the Franklin Local Board to make a replacement appointment in the event the local board member appointed in resolution b) is unable to attend the plan change hearing.

d) request that staff circulate Franklin Local Board views on Plan Change 53 – Temporary Activities and Pukekohe Park Precinct to other local boards that are being asked for their views so that the local context can be considered as part of their response.

Community Facilities Sustainable Asset Standard

Carol McKenzie-Rex, Local Area Manager, spoke to this item.[DG1]

Resolution number FR/2020/119

MOVED by Member L Soole, seconded by Member A Kinzett:

That the Franklin Local Board:

a) support the Community Facilities Sustainable Asset Standard as an action of the Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri (Auckland’s Climate Plan) on the basis that this aligns with Franklin Local Board Plan 2020 Outcome 3: Places and facilities are fit for purpose and specifically the outcome objective to “Plan and prepare for effects of climate change on local facilities and amenity.”

b) provide the following feedback to support the Governing Body’s consideration of the Standard as regional policy:

i. regional policy on community facilities asset standards will have a consequential impact on community facilities managed on behalf of Council by community groups. In developing policy, the governing body should be careful to avoid requirements undermining opportunities for community to provide local service, noting that such opportunities are a foundation for to community resilience.

ii. the schedule for delivery on new asset standards should be staged, based on the level of climate impact. The board suggests that Auckland Council seek government support for a customised approach to implementation to enable small and isolated communities to remain engaged in improvement of local asset management

iii. policy decisions will have a consequential impact on local board renewal and maintenance budgets that will need to be assessed and modified accordingly by the Governing Body and this may require an adjustment to the 10 year budget. The board considers any funding changes prompted by national legislation and policy should be addressed through the general rate.
