Hobsonville Point - proposed jetty and pontoon at The Landing

The Manager Area Operations, Kris Bird, was in attendance to support the item.

Resolution number UHCF/2022/23

MOVED by Chairperson L Whyte, seconded by Deputy Chairperson M Miles:

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a) endorse the vesting of the jetty and pontoon structure associated with the proposed Marine Recreation Centre located at 9 Boundary Road, Hobsonville Point from Kāinga Ora to Auckland Council, including all bespoke structures for simplicity of maintenance rather than requiring the Hobsonville Point Marine Sports Recreation Centre Charitable Trust retain ownership of the bespoke launching elements.

b) note that subject to the Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee resolution, Auckland Council will become responsible for all ongoing costs, management and risks associated with the jetty and pontoon structure.

c) restate resolution number UH2022/47 clause b) i) from the Upper Harbour Local Board 12 May 2022 business meeting as follows:

b) provide the following advocacy initiatives for the Annual Budget 2022/2023 to the Governing Body and inclusion in the 2022/2023 Local Board Agreement:

i) confirm the long-term intention and seek the Governing Body to accept the vesting to Auckland Council of the new community pontoon and jetty at Marine Recreation Centre in Hobsonville.

d) provide additional feedback on the vesting of the jetty and pontoon structure associated with the proposed Marine Recreation Centre located at 9 Boundary Road, Hobsonville Point from Kāinga Ora to Auckland Council as follows:

i) note the local board has long supported finding a permanent solution to provide replacement water access in Hobsonville Point for the groups displaced by the public works act agreement. This requirement pre-dates the amalgamation of Auckland Council, and the Upper Harbour Local Board has continued to unanimously support this outcome

ii) note that considering the current budget constraints in Auckland Council it is unlikely that water access will be provided in this location by council in the short to medium term, and the jetty and pontoon will provide the non-motorised water access that is needed in mitigation for sailing and rowing

iii) note that due to limitations of the site, the proposed pontoon and jetty does not provide for motorised crafts nor did the previous facilities

iv) note that Council staff will continue discussions with the Hobsonville Point Marine Sports Recreation Centre Charitable Trust regarding potential storage and toilet facilities for public using the wharf

v) encourage consideration of security fencing during the development of the Hobsonville Marine Sports Recreation Centre to keep the site tidy and to provide opportunity to promote the vision of the amenity with printed boards on the fencing

vi) request speaking rights for the Chairperson at the 11 August 2022 Parks, Arts, Community and Events Committee meeting where this item will be considered.
