Local board views on plan change to enable rainwater tank installation for the Auckland region

 

Resolution number RD/2020/167

MOVED by Member B Bailey, seconded by Member D Hancock:  

That the Rodney Local Board:

a)         provides the following views on council’s proposed change to the Auckland Unitary Plan to enable rainwater tank installation for the Auckland region:

i)          support proposed Plan Change 54 to exclude rainwater tanks from the definition of “building” in the Auckland Unitary Plan

ii)         support the proposed permitted activity status of rainwater tanks as defined in proposed Plan Change 54

iii)       support the removal of resource consent and compliance costs for the installation of rainwater and greywater tanks, which will increase water resilience for households, reduce the impact on Auckland’s reticulated water supply and decrease the need for water restrictions during drought and other times of restricted potable water supply

iv)       request that consideration be given to including greywater tanks as an added measure to rainwater tanks to provide for later use and non-potable water purposes

v)         seek that grey water tanks for later use or non-potable purposes of similar dimensions as proposed to rainwater tank provisions be excluded from the definition of building and be included as part of Plan Change 54

vi)       support the reduction of consenting barriers to households for the voluntary installation of rainwater and greywater tanks and the provisions of clear options that encourage and support rainwater tank installations

vii)      support simple and clear Unitary Plan provisions that seek that adverse visual effects are mitigated and avoided by clear design and placement standards for rainwater and greywater tanks in outdoor living and garden spaces

viii)     supports the provisions and standards in proposed Plan Change 54 that require that rainwater and greywater tanks do not discharge, or overflow into, adjacent properties or effluent disposal areas or create any nuisance to adjacent properties

ix)       support the provisions in proposed Plan Change 54 that seek to create community resilience in terms of the supply of water which is under pressure as a result of climate change, and to reduce demand on the water supply network, including water reservoirs

x)         support the stormwater management benefits that could be realised as a result of increased rainwater tank uptakes, particularly in developed urban areas as rainwater tanks may be able to contribute to improved environmental outcomes particularly across densely built-up areas of Auckland

xi)       support the wastewater management benefits that could be realised as a result of increased greywater tank uptakes, particularly in developed urban areas as greywater tanks may be able to contribute to improved environmental outcomes particularly across densely built up areas of Auckland

b)        appoint local board member Danielle Hancock to speak to the local board views at a hearing on council’s enabling rainwater tanks plan change for the Auckland region.
