Feedback on Hīkina te Kohupara – Kia mauri ora ai te iwi. Transport Emissions: Pathways to Net Zero by 2050 discussion document

 

Resolution number DT/2021/92

MOVED by Member T van Tonder, seconded by Member A Bennett:  

That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:

a)        notes that the Ministry of Transport submissions deadline has not provided sufficient time for a local board workshop enabling the board to formulate and prepare the in-depth input.

b)        provides the following feedback into Auckland Councils submission on the Hīkina te Kohupara – Kia mauri ora ai te iwi. Transport Emissions: Pathways to Net Zero by 2050 discussion document:

i.       The Devonport-Takapuna Local Board (the local board) welcomes the opportunity to input into this discussion paper that explores the ways in which Aotearoa can move towards net zero emissions by 2050. The local board was disappointed to learn Aotearoa has the fifth highest per capita rates of CO2 emissions from road transport in the 43 OECD countries and therefore support accelerated action that shifts us to a Net Zero Transport Emissions future.

ii.      The local board supports the key themes detailed in the discussion document, as they complement, support, and align to the local board’s strategic climate change initiatives as detailed in the 2020 local board plan, and feedback on Auckland Transport’s Regional Land Transport Plan, and additionally these complement the intentions set in Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s Climate Plan.

iii.    Provides the following feedback on the discussion paper:

A.   Support all key moves must be made using a Generational Investment Approach (GIA) noting that it will be our future generations who will be most adversely affected by Climate Change. Unless Government and Regional Councils show strong leadership in moving towards net zero, the safety and wellbeing of our future citizens will be significantly compromised.

B.   Note that transport planning must be integrated with land-use planning to encourage quality compact mixed-use urban development that is serviced by low carbon public transport and active mode infrastructure.

C.   Whilst the local board agree the pathway towards net zero emissions should focus on a shift towards a zero carbon transport system rather than offsetting emissions, the local board believe that in the same way transport planning should be coupled with land-use planning, it should also be coupled with living infrastructure planning, noting that increased street tree planting and grassed berms have positive environmental outcomes including improved air quality, water filtration and biodiversity. Doing so will support a faster uptake in active modes when there is greater green amenity.

D.   The local board consider that quality compact, mixed use urban development can reduce trip distances and encourage the uptake of sustainable transport modes. The local board agree that placemaking is critical for supporting higher density urban developments and in creating places that people want to live and work in. The local board therefore support any rapid changes that improve street-layouts to be multi-modal with lower street limits and an enhanced public realm, so that the dominance of cars is diminished and the uptake in active modes is enhanced.

E.    The local board support the potential requirement of GHG emission impact assessments for proposed urban developments. Developments that would result in high emission generation should be redesigned to achieve a lower GHG profile.

F.    The public transport fleet must be rapidly transitioned to cleaner vehicles and the Local Boards supports ambitious goals to do so within a much shorter timeframe for buses, ferries, and trains in particular.

G.   The local board support the implementation of a range of incentives that support the uptake of Electric Vehicles (EVs) and request research and investment be made in the end-of-life management of batteries so that the gains made by EV use are not undermined by the waste profile of the vehicles themselves.

H.   The local board support moves that increase and improve the supply of biofuels and electricity, noting that less than 0.1 percent of the transport fuels used in Aotearoa are renewables. Coupled with Government policies that provide subsidies and fuel efficiency standards that increase demand for clean vehicles, the local board hope the take up will accelerate. We need to be aspirational and set high targets that are tracked and reported upon annually. 

I.      Supports Central Government commencing work on a National Supply Chain Strategy which will consider opportunities to reduce supply chain emissions for New Zealand

J.    The local board support stronger collaboration between Central and Local Government, noting that a meaningful shift towards net zero transport emissions will be a multi-pronged strategy with a united vision. As such, the local board support a working group made up of Central and Regional leaders who can collaborate and monitor progress. The local board would hope that these leaders were empowered to cascade the information through Central Government and regional Councils to inform communities.

K.   The local board support an investment in an education campaign as has been achieved through COVID that makes communities aware of the risks of not changing their behaviours and proactively encourages that responsibility be placed on the transport user to make low-emissions choices. We need to bring people with us on the journey and equally we need to celebrate our successes together.

L.    The local board understand that technology and innovation will play an important role in supporting transport change. The local board support changes in regulation that enable the uptake in positive innovations. The local board support the provision of targeted funding and welcome disruptive thinking, innovation, and transport trials that can become a pathway to permanence or provide opportunities for learning and evolution, such as what was achieved through the Auckland Transport Local electric fleet trial that took place in Devonport, Auckland.

M.   The local board support increased investment in high quality cycling infrastructure that safely separates micro-mobility from pedestrians and vehicles. The local board consider that connected urban cycling networks, coupled with a network of bike-buses that support the movement of bikes across cities will support a greater shift to active modes. Additionally, creating towns and cities that are easily travelled by bike can create a niche cycle-visitor market when our borders are once again opened and thus lead to new economic opportunity.

N.   The local board support the development of the Emissions Reduction Plan by December 2021 and request that this plan not only identifies the challenges and opportunities but clearly articulates the actions that must be taken, the impact on our GHG profile, and a reporting mechanism that keeps all people of Aotearoa informed of the impact their collective action is having on moving our country to net zero emissions by 2050. He waka eke noa. We’re all in this together. We must make the change together.

iv.    recommends that the local board’s climate change and emissions feedback on Auckland Transport’s Regional Land Transport be appended to this feedback for consideration
