That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu 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)          support reducing Aucklanders’ reliance on cars and a shift to more sustainable modes of transport. The board also acknowledges the need to comply with government-imposed limits on district plans requiring parking provision through the National Policy Statement on Urban Development.

ii)        however, the board believe that this strategy imposes a huge change (and cost) on the community in various ways that need further consideration by Auckland Transport and Auckland Council to minimise the effect of that on the public welfare.

iii)       the impact of higher costs and less provision will inevitably affect some communities more than others. These communities, businesses and households also tend to be the least able to absorb the impact without affecting their quality of life and finances

iv)       there are a number of conditions prevalent in the Mangere-Otahuhu community that makes a shift to less parking provision a hugely disruptive and costly issue:

·      large households in dwellings that have more than one vehicle

·      communities and neighborhoods not well served by public transport

·      shift working requirements or working multiple jobs that don’t easily match public transport schedules

·      reduced economic means to pay for price related signals such as parking charges and enforcement 

v)        request a graduated and spatial approach to implementing the parking strategy with levels of deprivation, household composition and available public transport links key considerations in determining timing (through a longer time period) in implementation. This needs to be reflected in the strategy rather than left for local parking planning

vi)       request Auckland Transport work with the local board to trial a few free public transport options on key routes and at key times to encourage a mode shift and understand passenger behavior. This is similar to other trials at Devonport and Hobsonville but with the focus on a very different consumer base

vii)     request future public engagement is better resourced to reach ethnic communities through local radio stations and targeted forums in addition to engagement material being translated into local languages

viii)    note that the board will provide additional feedback after it receives the community feedback in early 2022.
