Resolution
number PKTPP/2021/236
MOVED by Member B Shen, seconded by Member H Doig:
That
the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a)
approve the
feedback below on the proposed Draft Contributions Policy 2021 on the key
consultation topics:
i)
support updating
the policy for capital projects in the 10-year budget 2021-2031
ii)
support the
inclusion of projects beyond 10-years to the policy in stages starting with
Drury and request early engagement with the local board on any proposed
inclusion of projects within the local board area, noting Mt Roskill is
included as an investment priority area.
iii) note large development proposals by
Kāinga Ora in Waikōwhai, Three Kings, Wesley, and Central Mt
Roskill and Fletchers Limited in Three Kings which will require physical and
social infrastructure investment over the next 10-20 years.
iv) support requiring developers to pay their
contributions earlier to help fund costs as they occur
v) support
the proposal to support Māori development with grants
b) support for
the proposal is driven by the board’s aspiration is to see Auckland
grow in a sustainable way and to create a quality compact city.
c) request amending section 4.21
to allow for development contributions to be payable by way of land and/or
cash at the discretion of council, for the purpose of enabling pocket parks,
stormwater gardens, walkway connections and enhance existing facilities.
d) request a
review of the Parks and Open Space Acquisition Policy, noting it was last
reviewed in 2013 and needs revising in light of the intensification currently
underway in Tāmaki Makaurau.
e) note that support for the
proposal is driven by the Board's aspiration for a quality compact city as
per the Auckland Plan 2050 and for Tāmaki Makaurau to grow sustainably
without urban sprawl. A quality compact city reduces carbon emissions by
promoting low-carbon, locally-centred lifestyles and the high embodied carbon
contained in materials used to build infrastructure. The Development
Contributions policy should assist with making transparent the true costs of
sprawl and attributing them appropriately.
f) support strongly the
reduction of urban sprawl (any development in the rural outskirts of
Auckland) and commuter suburbs due to the need for significant capital for
infrastructure, ongoing funding needed to support such infrastructure and the
reliance on private cars as a primary mode of transportation.
g) support the development of
existing urban settings where existing communities thrive and which is well
connected to frequent transport networks
h) thank David
Rose for his attendance via SKYPE for Business.
