Resolution
number HW/2023/14
MOVED by Member B Kendall, seconded by Member
M Turinsky:
That the Howick Local Board:
a)
consider an item of
extraordinary business regarding a presentation of the Howick Local Board at
the next meeting of the Governing Body to raise concerns about regional bio security and hard
stand amenity, for the
reason that the landing at Okahu Bay is closing on the 28th of
February, costing $3 million. This
is triggered by the closing of Pier 21 and the imminent closing of Shoal Bay
and the Landing and the existing bio security threats that could enter the Tāmaki
Estuary if infected boats travel to our hard stand facilities.

Draft Contributions Policy 2022, Variation A
|
|
|
Resolution
number HW/2023/17
MOVED by Chairperson D Light, seconded by Deputy
Chairperson B Burns:
That
the Howick Local Board:
a)
endorse the draft contributions
policy 2022 as recommended by council officers.
b)
note that the feedback from the
developers that this contribution makes these developments more expensive is
moot as these contributions should make housing intensity development more
attractive elsewhere – such as in places where there are better public
transport networks, closer to places of work and prevent urban sprawl.
c)
request that the contributions from Botany & Flat Bush be
calculated and this money be adjusted to current inflation rates and ring
fenced for the swimming pool and library at Flat Bush.
