Resolution
number HB/2023/14

Chairperson J Parfitt:
That
the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
a)
provide the following
feedback on Auckland Council’s submission on the draft Future for Local
Government report:
i.
tautoko / support
undertaking this review, on the basis that any additional costs to local
government as a result of changes to legislated engagement and consultation
requirements should come with increased funding from central government
ii. tautoko / support including the concept of
subsidiarity as a core principle for governance in combination with any
devolution of roles or functions to local government being accompanied by
appropriate funding allocations
iii. tuhi ā-taipitopito / note concern about
local government being expected to play an enhanced well-being role without
increased investment and improved models or mechanisms of partnership with
central government that would provide clarity of role and function
iv. tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that in
their current form, the funding tools available to council such as
charges on land, rates and development contributions, are no longer
appropriate for the demands and decisions council is responsible for, or the
scale of growth
v. tono / request that open and transparent
discussions between central and local government are required on the cost of
infrastructure to support growth and how that will be financed and funded
vi. does not support adopting the Single
Transferrable Vote method for local body elections. Single Transferrable
Voting complicates the voter experience and will not encourage higher turnout

conducted on whether political terms are extended to four years.
