Under Standing Order 3.11.1 Notices of Motion have been received from Member Toni van Tonder and Member Trish Deans for consideration under items 12 and 13 respectively.

Notice of Motion - Member Toni van Tonder - Events on Auckland Harbour Bridge

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

That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:

a) supports in principle the concept of Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency organising an event (or events) that open up the Auckland Harbour Bridge for people to walk and cycle, as such an event (or events) would provide an opportunity to trial / demonstrate how the wider transport network could function.

b) supports in principle the concept of regular events to open up the Auckland Harbour Bridge that are designed to build demand for Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency’s broader programme of investment in walking and cycling connections in Auckland.

c) notes the likely significant costs of event management, marketing and traffic management associated with the concept of holding regular events to demonstrate the walking and cycling provided through opening the Auckland Harbour Bridge, and therefore supports Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency investigating and prioritizing partnerships with commercial organisations to help off-set costs to the ratepayer.

d) requests, in the event Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency pursues events to open the Auckland Harbour Bridge for walking and cycling, that:

i) the events are designed to be accessible to people of all ages and abilities;

ii) any closure and traffic management approaches have minimal impact on people driving across the bridge or those using public transport; and

iii) Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency works closely with Auckland Transport and Eke Panuku to ensure there is convenient and safe access to the bridge via local streets and public transport.

e) requests that, in the event Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency pursues events to open up the Auckland Harbour Bridge for walking and cycling, the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board is apprised of the event (including any associated traffic management arrangements that may impact the local roading network) in advance of the event(s) taking place.

f) requests that this Notice of Motion and accompanying documentation be forwarded to the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Board, Auckland Transport and Eke Panuku for their information.

g) requests that this Notice of Motion be forward to all local boards, the Mayor and all Councillors for their information.

Resolution number DT/2021/104

MOVED by Chairperson R Jackson, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J O'Connor:

b) notes that Waka Kotahi are currently investigating a range of options for such event/s and working through the many complexities of each option – including the benefits, cost, funding, and operational issues such as health & safety, access, and traffic disruption;

c) requests that Waka Kotahi present these options to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for discussion at a workshop and allow time for the local board to develop feedback and formalise such feedback at a scheduled local board business meeting;

d) recommends that Waka Kotahi also present these options to all local boards for their feedback, in particular to the Kaipātiki and Waitematā Local Boards, as the proposed entry and exit points would be in their local board areas.

e) requests that this resolution be forwarded to all local boards, mayor, councillors, and the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency board.

Notice of Motion - Member Trish Deans - Resource Consent Applications for 30-38 Hurstmere Road and 40 Anzac Street

MOVED by Member T Deans, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J O'Connor:

That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:

a) requests that the resource consent application LUC60380614 / SUB60380615 (BUN60380613) (“the application”) for 30-38 Hurstmere Road and 40 Anzac Street (“the site”), be fully publicly notified, for reasons including:

i) that the application proposed contains alterations and matters which have not been publicly consulted and which are likely to have more than minor adverse effects, including:

A) current and future viability and safe operation of the public transport interchange on Lake Road, including the loss of bus shelters and seating, and decreased footpath space for pedestrians, waiting passengers, and passengers boarding and disembarking from buses (Attachment B).

B) general public amenity and surrounding public realm spaces including the town square on Lots 6 & 7 and on neighbouring Potters Park

C) the loss of the essential, and recently upgraded, public toilets adjacent to Potters Park

D) the effects of any vehicle crossings on pedestrian safety and on the safe and efficient operation of the bus interchange on Lake Road

E) the extent of excavation and the impact of that excavation and related vehicle movements on surrounding streets

ii) that the subdivision pattern is fundamental to the final outcome and so provides special circumstances for public notification

iii) that this is a project of considerable size and scale which has generated enormous public interest and which has a significant effect on the local and wider community

iv) the sizes and dimensions shown in the site plan (Attachment C) of the proposed building development Lots 1-5 and of the proposed town square on Lots 6 & 7 all differ from those shown in previous public consultation and documents

v) concerns raised in the Application for Resource Consent prepared by Beca Limited (Attachment C) around the provision of water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, in particular the statement made that “having to excavate and remove areas of the future civic space”, as the detailed design of the future buildings is not yet known, and there is little information on the depth and location of existing underground utilities.

vi) that he threshold for full and adequate information has not been satisfied, and we recommend that the consent authority seek further information from the applicant as allowed under Section 92 of the RMA.

b) requests the opportunity to present to any hearing on this proposal

c) requests that, in the event that the resource consent application LUC60380614 / SUB60380615 (BUN60380613) is notified in a way that enables the local board to provide views and preferences, that members Toni van Tonder and Trish Deans along with board chair Ruth Jackson be appointed to a working group (chaired by Ruth Jackson) and that this working group be authorised to:

i) develop the board’s views and preferences

ii) distribute to all local board members any materials and documentation in relation to the consent application to enable all members to have the opportunity provide their individual views and preferences

iii) present draft local board views and preferences to the next available business meeting of the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board for formal approval

iv) in the event that no business meeting is available within the required submission timeframe, forward the local board views and preferences to the appropriate entity and request the ability to speak in support of those views and preferences at the appropriate forum such as hearings, and present the views and preference to the next available Devonport-Takapuna Local Board business meeting for formal approval

d) notes concerns raised in the Application for Resource Consent prepared by Beca Limited (Attachment D) around the provision of water, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, in particular the statement made that “having to excavate and remove areas of the future civic space”, as the detailed design of the future buildings is not yet known, and there is little information on the depth and location of existing underground utilities.
