Option A Manukau Station Road and Redoubt Rd iii) encourage investigation of truck lane for productivity iv) suggest future proofing the route by designating the land now v) ensure Mill Road continues to support fluid movement of industry vehicles and as an alternative to the Southern motorway vi) consider upgrades to Mill Road as a way to ease congestion and the heavy use of Hill Road which is a residential area vii) recommend Porchester Road is more suitable as the public transport route given it is residential both sides of the road viii) upgrades and new roundabout design to be safely mountable by loaded vehicles ix) support State Highway 22 (SH22) Drury upgrade plan x) request support in conjunction with Kiwi Rail be provided to Drury businesses that are impacted by the construction of Waihoehoe Road and the new train station. xi) ensure that there is the ability to turn north as well as south from Tui Street. xii) note the pressure that work at Drury will have on the Blackbridge Road and SH22 intersection and on the rest of Route 20 as per Supporting Growth maps, and request work be done to improve the safety on these routes. |

Elizabeth Stewart, Relationship Manager from Watercare, was in attendance for this item. |
|
Resolution number FR/2023/71 MOVED by Member M Bell JP, seconded by Member A Hopkins: That the Franklin Local Board: a) ohia / endorse Watercare’s approach to the development of the Beachlands and Maraetai Servicing Strategy. b) provide the following feedback on what the board would like to see included as part of the Beachlands and Maraetai Servicing Strategy as follows: i) agree with Watercare Beachlands Servicing strategy of responding to growth and development that also delivers on environmental, economic and cultural drivers ii) support and welcome Watercare’s servicing investigation options for Whitford to be included in its servicing proposals iii) acknowledge Watercare are the expert at all wastewater treatment and understand that there will need to be some trade-offs. iv) suggest flows from Beachlands through to East Tāmaki could pick up Whitford on the way through and request all options are put on the table when consulting with the community including discussion of cost. v) suggest Watercare be aware that the Future Urban Zoned land in Maraetai might be delayed slightly and timing of structure planning around this piece of land might change. vi) agree that there may be rationale for some residents preference in taste behind staying on tanked water, and conversely suggest there would be greater number of residents wanting to connect to a potable water supply. vii) welcome Watercare’s proactive approach to Civil Defence. viii) do not support Beachlands South operating independently from Watercare, as proposed by Private Plan Change 88. ix) support an approach to accommodate future growth and ensure that any solution for the Beachlands Maraetai plant consent is focused on a long term and sustainable solution for the community. x) seek an address of concern for renewal of the discharge consent, as the current population nearly meets the total of people allowing them to connect, and query responsibility of who is polluting the Te Puru stream. xi) support investigation options of moving the discharge location further up Te Puru stream from current location to have more time coming down the catchment, or an outfall, that could connect back to East Tāmaki, could reuse a lot of water and have land disposal as possible options. Additional concern that the plant is over capacity when significant rainfall occurs xii) support community use of Watercare land e.g for a joined-up community approach to use Watercare land at Okaroro Drive to offset the impact of urbanisation on the Beachlands Pony Club by providing them with an alternative space in a more rural environment and/or perhaps to share with the mountain bike club. xiii) suggest including a caveat that this is a wastewater treatment plant so that there will be operational areas that will be off limits to the public. xiv) suggest further investigation around reuse and recycling of water noting an option might be to create a potable reuse plant xv) support more investigation and monitoring needed around discharge directly into streams. Most important is the amount of water in and out of plant with solids to be dealt with and the potential for reuse and energy. xvi) support climate change mitigation strategy in light of the recent weather events that may impact buildings and services infrastructure. |
