15	Draft Auckland golf investment plan
	Carole Canler, Senior Policy Manager and Aubery Bloomfield, Senior Policy Advisor, were in attendance to support the item.
	A PowerPoint presentation was provided for this item. A copy has been placed on the official minutes and is available on the Auckland Council website as a minute attachment.
	Resolution number UH/2022/51 MOVED by Chairperson L Whyte, seconded by Deputy Chairperson M Miles: That the Upper Harbour Local Board: a) cannot support in principle the three policy objectives set in the draft Auckland golf investment plan until the concerns outlined below have been satisfactorily addressed: i) note that there is no public golf course in Upper Harbour and our residents use the facility in a neighbouring local board area ii) note that public golf courses provide for grass roots participation at a very inclusive and diverse level. It provides an affordable access for all ages and stages of golf, all ethnicities and all socio-economic groupings. iii) As golf courses move towards the rural parts of the city, barriers to participation through cost and access increase. iv) note the concerns raised by Golf New Zealand about the validity of the data, the process undertaken to develop the draft Auckland Golf Investment plan and the conclusions reached and seek further advice from staff on these issues prior to the board providing specific feedback v) is concerned that the decision making framework in the plan is unclear and is inconsistent with the allocation of decisions to local boards and local boards’ governance responsibility for provision of active recreation activity, community leases and local parks/open space, particularly given the governance framework review vi) request further work to be completed on a regional provision standard for golf and access to golf facilities prior to adopting the draft Auckland Golf Investment plan, so access to these facilities is considered across Auckland, including in areas without existing golf courses on public land vii) have serious concerns that a piecemeal approach to decision making upon lease expiry will only focus on provision reductions, which will sub optimise outcomes leading to significant gaps in the network which will be unable to provide for existing demand, let alone expected growth.
