Local Board input on the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management

Resolution number MR/2022/139

MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Member K Penney:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) note the feedback received from communities through the first stage of public engagement with the National Policy Statement - Freshwater Management 2020, in Attachment D, Attachment E and Attachment F

b) provide the following feedback on the National Policy Statement - Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM):

Long-term visions for freshwater management

i) The board is a strong advocate for improving the water quality of tributaries to the receiving environment of the Manukau Harbour.

ii) Outcome six of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020, ‘Our natural environment is valued, protected and enhanced,’ includes several key initiatives supporting the improvement of water. These include:

A) Continued support for clean waterways, including the Manukau Harbour, Puhinui Stream and smaller waterways

B) Advocating to remove concrete channelling in the Rata Vine Stream Reserve.

C) Working with Papakura and Franklin local boards to restore the Papakura Stream.

D) Progressing the work of Manukau Harbour Forum, in collaboration with the eight other local boards, iwi and other interested parties.

E) Continue our commitment to improving water quality at our local beaches.

iii) Outcome two of the Manurewa Local Board Plan 2020, ‘We are proud of our strong Māori identity and thriving Māori community,’ includes the key initiative ‘Work alongside mana whenua on regenerating the Puhinui Stream.’

iv) Manurewa residents have a strong connection to the water, and the board’s vision is for our waterways to be safe, healthy and clean for them to use.

Proposed Freshwater Management Units

v) the board supports the three proposed freshwater management units (FMUs) for the region - the Hauraki FMU, the Kaipara FMU, and the Manukau FMU, based on the coastal receiving environments for each catchment.

vi) the board notes that it will be necessary to work across FMUs, and to ensure that work carried out in neighbouring FMUs is complementary, to meet the obligations of Te Mana o te Wai.

Values and use of freshwater and the environmental outcomes sought for freshwater

vii) the board wants to to see the mauri of our streams restored and flourishing for their entire length.

viii) it is important for our rangatahi and tamariki to be able to enjoy recreation and swimming in healthy, clean water bodies.

ix) the board is concerned at the potential for more intensive development to increase the prevalence of impervious surfaces and consequently increase pollution flowing into the waterways through stormwater run-off. We request that council considers how this can be mitigated, including promoting the use of permeable surfaces on driveways.

x) further work with mana whenua iwi to identify Māori freshwater values in addition to Mahinga kai, and involving them in the implementation of the NPS-FM, is essential.

Manurewa Local Board feedback under delegation on the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill

Resolution number MR/2022/144

MOVED by Chairperson J Allan, seconded by Deputy Chairperson M Moore:

That the Manurewa Local Board:

a) note the Manurewa Local Board feedback provided under delegated authority on the draft council submission to the Health Select Committee on the Smokefree Environments and Regulated Products (Smoked Tobacco) Amendment Bill as follows:

“1. The Manurewa Local Board supports the vision of a smokefree Tāmaki Makaurau and Aotearoa by 2025.

2. Māori, Pacific Peoples and those living in higher deprivation areas have been identified as having disproportionately higher smoking rates, and therefore experiencing greater health consequences of smoking. Manurewa has large populations of Māori and Pacific Peoples and has a number of high deprivation communities. Our local board area has been identified as having one of the highest prevalence rates of smoking in Tāmaki Makaurau.

3. For these reasons, initiatives to reduce smoking rates are of great importance for our board.

Proposal One – Reduce smoked tobacco supply

4. The board supports the introduction of measures to restrict the sale of smoked tobacco products to approved retailers, and to limit the density of outlets selling tobacco products, particularly in high prevalence communities. Manurewa currently has a higher average number of tobacco retailers within 2km of home than the overall average for Tāmaki Makaurau. We support reducing the number of outlets and ensuring that retailers are acting responsibly in selling their products.

Proposal Two – Prohibiting the sale of tobacco products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009

5. The board supports the proposal to prohibit the sale of tobacco products to anyone born on or after 1 January 2009.

6. Effective processes to enforce regulations of sale of tobacco products will be needed in order for both Proposal One and Proposal Two to be effective.

Proposal Three – Nicotine reduction in smoked tobacco

7. The board supports the introduction of regulation-making powers to limit the quantity of nicotine and other constituents of smoked tobacco products. Lowering nicotine levels will make it easier for smokers to break the habit.

Other feedback

8. We agree with the council submission that these proposed measures need to be accompanied by increased smoking cessation support in order to be effective. These efforts should be targeted at groups and areas with higher smoking prevalence rates, and should be delivered through community partners at a grassroots level.

9. The board agrees that vaping regulations should also be reviewed as part of this process. We do not support vaping products being available to non-smokers or young people. Vaping products should only be made available as an aid to smokers who are transitioning out of the habit. Regulation is also needed to ensure that nicotine levels of vaping products do not exceed those in smoked tobacco, as this may undermine the intent in reducing nicotine levels in the latter.”
