Local Government Electoral Legislation Bill

Resolution number MO/2022/112

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Member W Togiamua:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) note that the New Local Government Electoral Legislation (Omnibus) Bill amends three statutes:

i) the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009

ii) the Local Electoral Act 2001

iii) the Local Government Act 2002 to include a new Schedule 3A

b) note that some of the amendments in the New Local Government Electoral Legislation Bill have resulted from requests from Auckland Council

c) support the amendment to the Local Government Auckland Council Act 2009 to remove the restriction on the number of councillors on the governing body, as requested previously by Auckland Council

d) support proposal for representation arrangements to include Māori wards and are in full support of the proposed processes that apply to establishing Māori wards as these will be helpful in providing certainty

e) note, that in effect this will require Auckland Council to resolve by 20 December 2023 whether its representation arrangements should include Māori representation and that before it makes its resolution, the council must “engage with Māori and other communities of interest”

f) note that staff are currently engaging with mana whenua and mataawaka on Māori representation and support deferral of the report to Governing Body on the engagement with mana whenua and mataawaka about representation on Auckland Council

g) request that any legislative protection afforded to general wards or local board electorates should be a bare minimum afforded to Māori wards or Māori local board electorates

h) request the Governing Body advocate for Māori representation within local boards. The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board is of the view that there should be legislative change to allow for Māori elected representatives within local board areas in Auckland. Local boards hold a shared governance responsibility in the unique governance model in Auckland. Therefore, if there is to be Māori representation at the regional ward level, there should be Māori representation at the local board level too.

Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill

Resolution number MO/2022/113

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Member M Kolo:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) support the purpose and intent of the Bill and the provisions, namely, Reduce smoked tobacco supply, Smokefree generation, Nicotine removal in smoked tobacco

b) note that the purpose of the Bill is aligned to the three-year Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board Plan 2020 and its outcome: ‘We thrive and belong in safe, healthy communities’. A key initiative of the Plan is to ‘Partner with community and wider groups to continue supporting neighbourhood safety and crime prevention, including reducing alcohol outlets, smoking, substance abuse and gambling machines’

c) believe that early legislative action is essential to curtail proliferation of products that increase health risks in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu local board area

d) stress that the topic is of serious concern to the board, noting that Māori and Pacific people have the highest overall smoking prevalence in Auckland and that our local board area is made up of 16.4 per cent Māori compared to 11.4 per cent for the Auckland region, and 59.4 per cent Pacific Peoples compared to 15.5 per cent for the Auckland region

e) believe that the proposed legislative measures are essential for the wellbeing of our rangatahi. About 26.4 per cent of the local population are below 15 years compared to 20 per cent of Auckland (Census 2018)

f) support the intent of the Bill as a timely framework to support young people to remain smoke-free and to achieve better health outcomes for all

g) support the Bill by amending the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products Act 1990 and the Customs and Excise Act 2018 in reducing retail availability in certain areas (such as education vicinity), prohibiting sales of smoked tobacco and vaping products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009, and reducing the appeal and addictiveness of smoked tobacco and vaping products

h) welcome opportunities to partner on pilot initiatives funded by central government in the local area to enable smoking cessation

i) support the idea of a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to ensure the Bill is effective and enables its implementation to be adjusted as necessary.
