Resolution
number RD/2021/234
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson B Houlbrooke, seconded by
Member B Bailey:
That
the Rodney Local Board:

endorse the draft Decision-making
Responsibilities of Auckland Council’s Governing Body and local boards
policy and acknowledge the local board’s previous feedback on the allocations and delegations in
the decision-making policy, notably:

consider allocating
operational management and maintenance of regional parks to local boards as
the relationship between local and regional parks and the potential
efficiencies and investment decisions would be better achieved locally
ii)
allocate to local
boards town centre strategy and policy in addition to the maintenance and
improvements of the local street environment and local centres to enable
local boards to respond to growth and influence the outcomes their
communities are seeking and note and

number RD/2021/237
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson B Houlbrooke,
seconded by Member D Hancock:
That the Rodney Local Board:
f)
provide the
following feedback as input on regional topics in the proposed 10- year
Budget 2021-2031 to the Governing Body:
ii) support
the $150 million of additional investment to accelerate climate change action

that increased public transport options are provided across the Rodney Local
Board area to support climate change actions, noting the shortage of public

infrequent and largely driven by the Rodney Local Board Transport Targeted
Rate

improvements to the roading network across Rodney which will also support
better climate change outcomes

the extension of the Water Quality Targeted Rate from 2028 to 2031 and the

the extension to the Natural Environment Target Rate from 2028 to 2031 and
the provision of an additional $107 million
viii) do
not support changes to the urban rating area as proposed in the Rodney Local
Board area, as amenity and service levels are inadequate and do not meet an
urban standard that would justify any amendment to the urban rating area
ix) support the Māori Outcomes Fund and the provision of $150
million investment over the next 10 years.
