Resolution number MR/2023/79 MOVED by Chairperson G Murphy, seconded by Member A Candy: That the Manurewa Local Board: a) acknowledge Carol McKenzie-Rex’s professionalism and leadership as the Local Area Manager encompassing Manurewa, Papakura and Franklin Local Board areas. We are fortunate indeed to have what we would term the ‘crème-de-la-crème’ of Local Board Services officers, and Carol has been instrumental in leading our Local Board during a time of ‘thrive to strife’. She has navigated our journey of recovery through the most difficult fiscal constraints and given precautionary and protective advice on strategic governance decisions that have ensured ‘amohia ake te ora o te iwi ka puta ki te whei ao – the health and wellbeing of our people is paramount’. Her calm disposition coupled with years of experience has enabled unified and progressive decision-making to prevail. Thank you Carol! We wish you an abundance of blessings as you venture into a new chosen direction and we welcome Sarah McGhee into the temporary replacement position. |

Urgent Decision: Manurewa Local Board feedback on the New Zealand Upgrade Programme South Auckland Package |
|
Resolution number MR/2023/93 MOVED by Chairperson G Murphy, seconded by Member R McLean: That the Manurewa Local Board: a) note the Manurewa Local Board urgent decision dated 1 June 2023 providing local board feedback on the New Zealand Upgrade Programme South Auckland Package, including the preferred option for the NZUP Manukau to Takaanini access and safety project as follows: That the Manurewa Local Board: a) provide the following views to Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency on the NZUP South Auckland Package, including the preferred option for the NZUP Manukau to Takaanini access and safety project: i) the board believes that delivery of the full four lane 21.5km Mill Road corridor between Manukau and Drury South needs to be funded as a priority roading project by the Government. The need for this corridor to reduce congestion, provide an alternative route to State Highway 1, and strengthen connections between future housing areas and existing town centres remains unaddressed, and will only grow as time goes on. Quarry trucks and other heavy vehicles travelling on our suburban roads create safety risks for pedestrians and other active mode users, particularly children travelling to and from school in the areas on Hillpark and The Gardens. These roads were not designed for such heavy traffic, and the wear and tear from heavy vehicle traffic increases the need for maintenance, which is a cost carried by ratepayers. We need the full Mill Road corridor to provide an alternative route that is more suited to heavy vehicle traffic and remove them from our local roads. The cost to fund delivery of the full Mill Road corridor will not lessen over time, and delaying implementation of the project will only result in greater costs being imposed on taxpayers in the future. We are also concerned that implementing the proposed access and safety project could result in a waste of funds if the full four lane corridor proceeds to construction in the near future, as anything that is constructed now may need to be removed and replaced after a relatively short time. This concern is especially acute given this is a general election year, and there is a risk than any incoming Government could change direction on this project. ii) although the board does not believe that the proposed Manukau to Takaanini access and safety project will fully address the needs discussed above, we support this work proceeding. It will provide improvements to road user experience on some sections of the corridor, particularly on the section of the corridor between Manukau Station Road and Redoubt Road, where widening of the road to provide four lanes for cars and a dedicated bus lane will be implemented. iii) should funding and costs considerations require the delivery of the Manukau to Takaanini access and safety project corridor in sections, the board’s preference would be that priority is given to delivering them in the following order: 1) Manukau Station Road and Redoubt Road 2) Mill Road - Cosgrave Road 3) Redoubt Road / Murphy’s Rd intersection. iv) the board would like Hollyford Drive to also be expanded to four car lanes and a bus lane, given that there is sufficient space to widen the road in order to achieve this. b) note that the Waihoehoe Road Upgrade Project and SH22 Drury Upgrade Project are progressing through pre-implementation. |
