Resolution number FR/2022/129

MOVED by Member M Bell, seconded by Deputy Chairperson A Fulljames:  

That the Franklin Local Board:

a)    acknowledge the passing of Beachlands’ oldest resident, 102-year-old Esmé Peters passed away peacefully on August 21 after a short illness, just three weeks before her 103rd birthday.

 

Esmé proudly marched at the front of the Beachlands Anzac Day parade each year wearing her medals from service in the NZ Air Force as a WAAF during WWII. She joined the Air Force to honour her brother Jack, a fighter pilot, after he died in a mid-air collision in 1942. Her great grandfather, Colonel Ponsonby Peacocke, arrived in New Zealand in 1860 to lead the militia of fencible soldiers in Howick. He designed the stockade on Stockade Hill, the remnants of which are still visible.

 

In 2018 Esmé was honoured by Auckland City Library Services as the oldest and longest serving volunteer librarian in the region.

Esmé was a stalwart of the St Hilda’s Anglican church congregation, and was also a regular at local Women’s Institute monthly meetings and weekly community Gentle Exercise classes as well as social art classes.

b)      provide feedback on the National Policy Statement - Freshwater Management           2020 values as follows:

Long-term visions for freshwater management

iii)            support prioritising the health and well-being of water bodies and freshwater ecosystems, the health needs to people (such as drinking water) and the ability of people and communities to provide for the social, economic and cultural wellbeing, including the priority order

iv)            do not consider that Auckland Council has done an effective job in engaging with communities to understand how Te Mana o te Wai applies to water bodies and freshwater ecosystems in Auckland, and that a greater localised community engagement approach should be applied to consultation in this instance (noting that there are specific local communities i.e. in rural Auckland that will experience specific and direct impact from this Policy that should be better understood).

Proposed Freshwater Management Units

v)             support the three Freshwater Management Units proposed for freshwater management i.e. based on the three coastal receiving environments for catchments: the Kaipara Harbour, the Manukau Harbour and the Hauraki Gulf (as depicted in Attachment B or the agenda report)

vi)            recommend that a separate additional Freshwater Management Unit be established for the Pukekohe vegetable growing area from the three management units. The importance of this area to national food security warrants special consideration in light of this importance.

Values and use of freshwater and the environmental outcomes sought for freshwater, either generally or for a specific water body

vii)          support the values as identified in Attachment C of the agenda report, noting that these values consider Animal Drinking water, irrigation and cultivation which are all critical activities to the Franklin local economy and national food security i.e. farming

viii)         request that consideration also be given to the impact of freshwater provision on local placemaking i.e. the form and function of communities as they develop. An example of this is where paths, roads or other infrastructure may need to impact on Freshwater systems if this infrastructure delivers better quality of life or economic outcomes for local communities.

ix)            request that Regulatory, Plans and Places and Infrastructure and Environmental staff that are working on the Auckland Council response to changes in the management of Freshwater continue to actively engage with Franklin Local Board and other local boards with rural communities in addition to regular engagement with the Rural Advisory Panel and Mana Whenua.

x)             note with concern that provisions of the NPS-FM and the local response will generate significant obligations for Auckland’s farmers and Auckland Council regulatory compliance teams, and that any approach to regulation and compliance should reflect resource constraints i.e. should not require farmers to comply with unachievable standards, nor imply regulation that cannot be achieved.
