Resolution
number WH/2022/3
MOVED by Member J Rose, seconded by
Chairperson K Thomas:
That the Whau Local Board:
a) note the significant infill
housing development and projected population increase across the urban areas
of the Whau rohe.
b) note the findings of the Urban Ngahere report
for Whau, regarding low tree canopy cover in New Lynn and Avondale.
c) note the findings of the Urban Ngahere
report for Whau, that the road corridors are identified as places to increase
canopy cover.
d) note that as increased density and
population are not matched to increased recreational space, there is a need
to efficiently manage access to alternative public spaces.
e) note that Waka
Kotahi and Sport New Zealand, alongside councils, regional sports trusts,
Healthy Families NZ, and other organisations have been working together since
2019 to make it easier for Play Streets to happen in Aotearoa - New Zealand.
f) note the positive community outcome
of the Waka Kotahi Innovating
Streets for People-funded trial of Community Play Streets for Tāmaki
Makaurau, held in Whakawhiti Loop, Avondale.
g) recommend that Auckland Council adopt the
Waka Kotahi “Guidelines
for restricting traffic for Play Streets events”.
h) recommend that Auckland Transport implement the Waka
Kotahi “Guidelines
for restricting traffic for Play Streets events”.
i) thank the Auckland Activation Team
for their mahi on developing these guidelines, in particular, Jacquelyn
Collins.
j) request that this Notice of Motion be forwarded to all local boards, the
Mayor, all Councillors and the Board of Auckland Transport for their
information.
