Acknowledgement
The meeting acknowledged the sudden passing of Auckland Art Gallery Senior Curator, Ron
Brownson. The committee thanked him for his 45 years of service at the
Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, his service to research, curation and
the arts in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and across Aotearoa. The
committee also acknowledged Ron’s contribution and activism for the
rainbow community including being part of the Gay Liberation Movement in
Aotearoa and more recently the Auckland Pride Festival. Our thoughts go to his
friends and whanau.

Petitions - 29 Concerned Auckland
Communities to have Plan Change 78 withdrawn
|
|

Tony Skelton and Greg McKeown
addressed the committee on behalf of 29 Concerned Auckland Communities to
have Plan Change 78 withdrawn. A copy has been placed on the official
minutes and the supporting information is available on the Auckland Council
website as a minutes attachment.
Petition prayer
·
The recent weather events in Auckland have
exposed how inadequate, poorly designed and badly managed the infrastructure
across the city.
·
We need to stop Plan Change 78, which is
deeply flawed, and commence a full audit of our total infrastructure.
·
Auckland even before the recent weather
event, required an estimated $70 billion dollars to address our
infrastructure deficit.
·
Should Plan Change 78 be implemented, it is
estimated this will add another $11 billion to the existing infrastructure
deficit.
·
Auckland has a Unitary Plan that provides
for a 30-year supply of housing. However, due to infrastructure issues, we
will struggle to implement this plan, let alone a Plan Change providing for
an additional two million houses unless an infrastructure audit is completed
and its findings implemented with urgency.
·
Due to the infrastructure issues in
Auckland, it means that Plan Change 78 is totally unworkable. We ask that it
be withdrawn immediately.
