Resolution number UHCF/2020/36 MOVED by Member N Mayne, seconded by Member A Atkinson: That the Upper Harbour Local Board Community Forum: a) provide the following feedback on the review of the decision-making policy: i) include any guidance or principles on how to interpret the allocation table within the same document rather than as a separate document ii) provide guidance in the policy for local board views to be sought on all decisions regardless of funding source as per the requirements of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 iii) the policy should specify that the allocation of decision-making for a non-regulatory activity should be based on the nature of the activity, as per section 17 (2) of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009, not on an asset ownership basis, for example: A) in the case of drainage reserves, strategic and policy decisions are appropriate to be allocated to the Governing Body for decision-making as such decisions have an impact that extends beyond the borders of one local board; however, decisions on implementation of works on such reserves that have a local impact should be allocated to local boards iv) include the principle that where possible, projects should be broken down into decisions that allow for maximum allocation of decisions to local board as per the principle of subsidiarity. b) support the Joint Governance Working Party continuous review of the allocations in order to provide advice and interpretation to council staff, local boards and the Governing Body. c) endorse the proposed approach to the long-term plan consultation.
