Member Tucker led

Kua uru mai a hau kaha, a hau maia, a hau ora, a hau nui,
Ki runga, ki
raro, ki roto, ki waho
Rire, rire hau…pai marire

Bring calm, bring all things good, bring

Resolution
number WAI/2022/36
MOVED by Member B Upchurch, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson N Robins:
That
the Waiheke Transport Forum:
a)
note the informal
discussion items of:
i)
the Waiheke
Volunteer Coastguard presentation and the identified a need for temporary
immediate solution to the situation of potential ferry wash across anchorage
lines, and also the need for longer term arrangement for safe crew access to
the vessel. It was also noted there is also pressure and a range of interests
in regards to ongoing access to the secondary wharf at Matiatia from a range
of users.
ii)
Member Tony
King-Turner expressed concern from Cycle Action Waiheke about wheel stops between
cycle/shared paths and vehicle carriage on island and the spacing of them did
not from his perspective enable cyclists to safely enter them if they were
cycling on the road and wanted to enter the cycle lane while moving at pace. It
was noted that a response has been requested to come through from Auckland
Transport specialists.
b)
recommend to the Waiheke
Local Board that they request Auckland Transport:
iii) to work with Waiheke Volunteer Coastguard
urgently to enable immediate temporary berthing at Matiatia whilst ferries
are having to berth at the northern (old) pier
iv) to investigate options for a long term safely
accessible permanent berth for the Coastguard considering other users
v)
to provide advice
to the local board on how a waterside wharf user berthing needs-assessment
may be progressed for Matiatia Wharf.
c)
note that Waiheke
Local Board Chair Cath Handley acknowledged and thanked the Waiheke Transport
Forum members for their contribution and service over the past three years.
