Resolution
number MT/2022/100
MOVED by Member N Henry, seconded by Deputy Chairperson C
Makoare:
That
the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local
Board:
a)
endorse the
strategic direction proposed as a basis for developing the Future Development
Strategy, with the following comments regarding the seven 'big issues':
i)
support the initial
direction regarding hapū and iwi values and aspirations for urban
development, noting the local board's objective of enabling active Māori
participation in local decision-making;
ii)
support the initial
direction regarding climate change, emissions reduction and urban form,
noting that development that supports people to help care for the planet can
also save people money and promote healthier lifestyles;
iii)
support the initial
direction regarding inundation and natural hazards, noting that new
developments need to be future-proofed for increased risks like flooding, and
that public messaging needs to be accessible to all.
iv)
support the initial
direction regarding intensification - dispersed or focused, noting:
A)
that communities
need to be brought along on the journey of intensification and we need to
find ways for future developers to learn and improve on past experiences;
B)
that our
communities need to be redesigned with current and future transport needs in
mind, including consideration of street parking and width of roads in
developing areas;
C)
that
intensification will in turn have positive longer-term impacts on reducing
emissions;
D)
that the public
greenspace and sport/recreational facility needs of our intensifying
communities need to be addressed proactively rather than reactively;
v)
that greenspace and
recreational infrastructure provision must be a priority in this strategy, considering
provision per capita and by walkable catchment.
vi)
support the initial
direction regarding infrastructure, noting:
A)
that appropriate
infrastructure must be in place to support development;
B)
that inadequate
infrastructure can have detrimental impacts on climate and environmental
outcomes, undoing efforts to protect and restore our waterways.
vii)
support the initial
direction regarding greenfields and future urban areas;
A)
support the initial
direction regarding business and employment, noting:
that intensification demands additional awareness of the impact of
infrastructure on the environment;
B)
that the historical
agreements which have allowed for pollution in waterways need to be
revisited.
