Urgent decision - Papakura Local Board feedback on the Managing Our Wetlands reform proposal

 

Resolution number PPK/2021/191

MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J Robinson:  

That the Papakura Local Board:

a)      note the urgent decision dated 6 October 2021 with Papakura Local Board feedback on the central government discussion document entitled ‘Managing Our Wetlands’ as follows:

“That the Papakura Local Board:

a)         provide the following feedback to the Governing Body on the Government’s Managing Our Wetlands amendment proposal:

 

i)          Definition of ‘natural wetland’

 

1)   The Papakura Local Board Plan 2020 Outcome four: “A treasured natural environment and heritage” includes initiatives to improve water quality.

 

2)   The local board is supportive of legislation that has the ultimate aim of improving water quality to the receiving environment.

 

ii)         Better provision for restoration, maintenance and biosecurity activities

 

3)    The current process for groups to apply for a consent is onerous and projects have been discontinued as a result.  Therefore, the board supports the proposal that the restoration and maintenance of wetlands becomes a permitted activity for groups to continue natural wetland restoration and that weeding can be done by hand as opposed to spray. 

4)    If this proposal is enacted, Auckland Council will need a guideline or policy clearly setting out what is able to be done without a consent to avoid confusion or conflict. This would include pest management and the use of sprays, disposal of rubbish found in waterways and health and safety implications.

 

iii)        Consenting pathway for quarrying and mining

 

5)   The board is opposed to new quarrying and mining activities being established in wetland areas.

 

iv)        Consenting pathway for landfills, clean fills and managed fills

 

6)   The board is opposed to these activities being establish in wetland areas.

 

v)         Consenting pathway for plan-enabled development

 

7)   The board supports the three criteria for infrastructure near wetlands:

·   The activity must be of significant national or regional benefit

·   There must be a functional need for the activity in that location

·   Adverse effects must be managed through the “effects management hierarchy.”

8)   The board believes a consenting pathway should be provided for plan enabled urban development.

 

9)   The board would prefer a phased or grand parented approach to the implementation of these changes to ensure that:

 

·   people who have already complied with current specifications are still able to build on the land they have purchased 

·   people who have already purchased land are not impacted by the proposed changes and are still able to develop.”
