Local board feedback on the kerbside refuse
charging mechanism policy
|
|
|
Sarah Le
Claire, Waste Planning Manager and
Parul Sood, General Manager Waste Solutions, were in attendance to speak to
this report.
|
|
|
Resolution
number HM/2021/141
MOVED by Member I Papau, seconded by Member P Chan:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
a) provide the following
feedback on the kerbside refuse charging model policy review:
i) the local board
agrees with the key priorities
when considering how to charge for rubbish collection. As a lower
socio-economic area, the local board supports cost equity as a priority and supports
the introduction of weekly food scraps collection (and therefore the
minimisation of waste to landfill).
ii) the local board prefers
rates funded rubbish collection services over the Pay-As-You-Throw model, but
agree with the need for consistency. The purchase of bin tags for the
Pay-As-You-Throw approach can cause issues for communities that cannot easily
purchase these when required on bin rubbish collection day (lack of
transport/mobility etc). The local board would like rubbish collection costs to
be rates funded as opposed to PAYT to better support our communities that
struggle with any extra household costs.
iii) the local board would like
to see Council staff working with our community groups to support and educate
locals on ways to deal with all forms of household refuse including soft
plastic recycling at local drop points.
iv) if the PAYT system is the
preferred option, the Council could also consider a scannable bin identity
sticker for each bin that links to a consumer account that can be topped up
via an online payment or manual system at a Council service centre. This
would eliminate the issue of bin tags being stolen, and the need to physically
purchase bin tags when consumers need their bins emptied.
v) recommend that Auckland Council thoroughly
investigate the option of a fourth size rubbish bin that is smaller than the
proposed fortnightly 80 litre bin. There is a need for a smaller rubbish
bin because when the 45 per cent of food scraps are removed from rubbish bin
disposal and with soft packaging decreasing and able to be recycled. There
will be many households across Tamaki Makaurau Auckland for whom an 80 litre
fortnightly rubbish bin is too large. A smaller bin option gives our people
the incentive of waste reduction.

Local board feedback on Auckland Transport's
Parking Strategy Review
|
|
|
Resolution
number HM/2021/143
MOVED by Member B Loader, seconded by Deputy Chairperson
B Brady:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
a) provide
the following feedback on the review of Auckland Transport’s Parking
Strategy by 30 September 2021, ahead of public consultation on the review:
i)
do not support increasing
parking costs
ii)
note the inequity caused
to communities that do not have the ability to pay for increasing parking
costs and need to travel many times during their daily lives due to poor
public transport options in the Henderson-Massey area
iii)
support having more Park and Ride facilities in West
Auckland
iv)
support curb side optimisation in times of
intensification
v)
with regard to off-street parking permits:
A) note
that as a result of intensification across the region, equity is needed in
the cost of off-street parking permits for lower socio-economic areas
B) must also consider
physical/ability needs of residents
C) consider
that parking permit programmes need to be in place prior to developments as
Auckland Transport cannot currently retrospectively initiate a parking permit
programme.
vi)
reiterate the need for effective and timely consultation
and communication around any changes to parking.

Public feedback on proposal to amend the
Animal Management Bylaw 2015

Resolution
number HM/2021/144
MOVED by Member W Flavell, seconded by Member M Grey:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

Ture-ā-rohe Tiaki Kararehe 2015 / Auckland Council Animal Management
Bylaw 2015 and associated controls in this agenda report.
b) note that the proposed new restrictions on
bee-keeping are not made with environmental considerations in mind for
Proposal One in the amended bylaw (require an approval to keep more than two
standard beehives on urban premises with a land area of less than 2000 square

c) support
taking a graduated approach to regulations around the permitted number of
beehives.

Draft Business Improvement District Policy
(2021) Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi
|
|
|
Claire
Siddens, Principal
Advisor (BIDs), was in attendance to speak to this report.
|
|
|
Resolution
number HM/2021/146
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson B Brady, seconded by Member B
Loader:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
a) provide the following feedback on the draft
Business Improvement District Policy (2021):
i) support
the draft policy and agree with the new requirement for legacy BID programmes
that currently receive less than the minimum $120,000 per annum, to increase
their targeted rate up to that amount over the next five years. This provides
BIDS with more financial stability to enable them to better serve the
community and helps drive active BID engagement with our business communities.
ii) note its
concern that BID programmes, business associations and the businesses they
represent are facing many challenges because of the covid-19 pandemic, noting
in particular, that Auckland has had far more lockdowns than any other part
of New Zealand and that the recent level 4 lockdown was the longest period
any region has spent in level 4 and the economic and social impacts of this
are not yet known
iii) request that
consultation in the Draft Business Improvement District Policy (2021) be
extended to the end of February 2022.
