Resolution
number GBI/2022/79
MOVED by Chairperson I Fordham, seconded by
Member P O'Shea:
That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:
a)
provide the following
feedback on the strategic direction for the Future Development Strategy:
i)
support updating
the Future Development Strategy to provide an increased focus on hapū and iwi values and aspirations, climate change mitigation, and empowerment of
local resilience.
ii)
note that for Aotea
/ Great Barrier as an island based local board area issues of rising sea
levels and rainfall events are significantly impactful and consideration of
infrastructure requirements and upgrades need to be given to non-urban areas
such as the motu and rural hinterlands.
iii)
note that
approximately forty per cent of the island’s roads are unsealed and
consideration is needed for further investments to improve access, safety and
equity of provision for the motu.
iv)
strongly suggest
that mobile phone and internet connectivity be specifically considered within
scope when reviewing the Future Development Strategy. There is an assumption
that Auckland’s mobile phone and internet connectivity is sufficient to
support civil defence, service efficiencies, and economic activity across
Auckland, however this is not the experience for large parts of the region,
and Auckland Council needs to support delivery for this type of
infrastructure.
v)
suggest a review of
stormwater open drainage and fish-friendly culvert practices, including any
climate change adaption plans, for rural and island board areas.
vi)
consideration needs
to be given to the provision of appropriate infrastructure to respond to peak
visitor demands.
