Local board input into preparation of the
draft 2021 Regional Parks Management Plan
|
|
|
Resolution
number MO/2021/28
MOVED by Chairperson L Sosene, seconded by Member H
Toleafoa:
That
the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
Local Board:
a) provide
the following feedback to inform the preparation of the draft Regional Park
Management Plan 2021:
1. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu
Local Board Plan 2020 highlights the
concerns and opportunities to combat climate change and agrees with the
suggestions received, that people highly value the natural, undeveloped
nature of the regional parks, particularly in the face of continuing growth
of Auckland’s population and urban area
2. The board support the overall suggestions highlighted
in the Summary of Suggestions: Regional Parks Management Plan Review, January
2021. In particular the suggestions that highlights the comments referring to
Ambury Park as follows:
i.
Consider further
expanding and improving the potential
for mountain biking trails to attract visitors to the region, and to consider
developing leisure cycling loops from local significant heritage sites and
other areas of interests
ii.
Planting more trees
for shade, developing community gardens and fruit tree orchards on site,
working with Birds New Zealand to create a shorebirds educational display,
providing information online and at the park on pre-European and
post-colonial history, and information about the park’s biodiversity
iii.
Continues to be a
working farm providing access to experiences for locals to how farms function
and its important part in our food production ecology
iv.
Our regional parks
should be encouraged to be visited and enjoyed, therefor the local board
opposes any suggestion of users having to pay for revenue purposes, but
donation and sponsorship schemes are explored to complete projects in our
parks
3. That mana whenua showcase Iwi stories and culture through
walking tours and to offer workshops on harakeke weaving, rongoā (traditions
of Maori medicine), and local history and heritage at our regional parks
4. To investigate if the scheduled winter closure of Ambury
campsite is justified, as large areas of the campground could be used as
all-weather camping spots.
5. To note that Ambury Park is an important last stop for
many tourists, as it gives them a chance to prepare for the short trip to the
campervan depot and airport the following days.

That
the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local
Board:
a)
acknowledges the budget constrains facing Auckland Council which led staff to
recommend a smaller number of attendees than normal

e) requests

development budget to make up the shortfall
f) nominates

conference on the basis of e) above
