Environment and Climate Change Committee Achieving Better Outcomes for the Manukau Harbour report

File No.: CP2020/17655

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To note the Achieving Better Outcomes for the Manukau Harbour report presented to the Environment and Climate Change Committee at a meeting held on 12 November 2020 (Attachment A).

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2. In 2019, the forum commissioned a review of its governance and management support. The Manukau Harbour Forum Governance and Management Support Review provided a suite of recommendations addressing the forum’s continuity, structure and governance, visibility of work programmes in the harbour and its catchment, support from council staff, and engagement with mana whenua.

3. The review report was endorsed by the forum in August 2019 and presented to the Environment and Community Committee in September 2019. The committee resolved to refer the report to staff in the Auckland Plan, Strategy and Research (APSR) department for evaluation and workshopping with the appropriate committee.

4. Staff have evaluated the review report recommendations and a workshop was held with the Environment and Climate Change Committee on 2 September 2020. Staff evaluations have been presented to the forum at workshops in February, June and October 2020, and via a memorandum dated 9 April 2020.

5. In response to the review report and to improve outcomes for the Manukau Harbour, staff have suggested a number of initiatives to improve visibility, accountability and oversight of initiatives in the harbour and catchment within Auckland Council responsibilities. Specifically, it is recommended that Auckland Council better integrates its key outcomes, priorities and forward work programme.

6. Staff suggest a future next step is to begin building better relationships between Auckland Council and mana whenua around the Manukau Harbour.
