Petition

 

A petition was received from Anthony Tresham on Kauri Kids.

 

‘Kaipātiki Local Board is voting on the 19 July, whether they keep or permanently close down Kauri Kids Early Learning Centre in Beach Haven, along with Glenfield & Birkdale centres.  We need your support to keep this great centre open.

Kauri Kids Beach Haven is at the epicentre of the Beach Haven community, it’s sided to the Beach Haven Community House, Shepherds Park, local food bank and many of our local sports and fitness teams.

It raises 30 local Tamariki every year with qualified teachers that give back to our community and Whānau each and every day.

We will lose a fundamental pillar in our community if this centre closes, great community minded teachers will lose their jobs that they have given up so much for and ultimately a lot of local families will struggle to find adequate help locally.

Kauri Kids Beach Haven operates as a profitable centre which feeds back to the local board to fund the multiple grassroots and sporting organisations locally, making positive changes within our community.’

That the Kaipātiki Local Board:

a)          agree to exclude the public from the following part(s) of the proceedings of this meeting.

The general subject of each matter to be considered while the public is excluded, the reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter, and the specific grounds under section 48(1) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this resolution follows.

This resolution is made in reliance on section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the particular interest or interests protected by section 6 or section 7 of that Act which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public, as follows:

 

C1       Additional information to support local board decision making on the local provision of ECE

Reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter

Particular interest(s) protected (where applicable)

Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution

The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

s7(2)(b)(ii) - The withholding of the information is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.

s7(2)(h) - The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial activities.

In particular, the report contains site-specific commercial information, which if released would impact the ability to reasonably negotiate (which is a possible outcome of the report)

s48(1)(a)

The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

 

 

The text of these resolutions is made available to the public who are present at the meeting and form part of the minutes of the meeting.

b)         express concern that the Governing Body resolution GB/2022/134:

i)           did not mention the removal of one third of all public rubbish bins across Auckland,

ii)         did not include the removal of one third of all rubbish bins in public consultation on the Mayoral Proposal, despite it being a significant change to the level of service,

iii)        may have unintentionally undermined local board decision making in regards to the allocation table of non-regulatory responsibilities (including “local service levels of major service delivery contracts as they relate to the local board area”, “setting of service levels for local activities”, but also local board allocations regarding local parks and local environment management).

c)          express concern that any reduction of public bins could result in an increase in litter, dog waste and dumping.

d)         note that many overflowing bins are only emptied when members of the public report them to Council, indicating that an increase in bins and budget, rather than a reduction, may be warranted.

e)          request that the bins proposed to be removed are reprioritized against the following criteria:

i)           retaining any bins located at bus stops

ii)         retaining any bins located at park entrances

iii)        retaining all bins at Shepherds Park, Beach Haven

iv)        removing any public bins located on private land.

f)           request that staff work within current renewal budgets to make the most of the remaining bins through effective placement and design capacity at the time of replacement, such as wheelie bins and ‘big belly’ bins.

g)         note that the local board opposed the reduction of rubbish bins in feedback on the Mayoral Proposal for the Annual Budget 2023/24 in our December 2022 resolution KT/2022/255.

h)         thank the many members of the public who contacted the local board with their feedback on the rubbish bin proposal, in particular for retaining bins at Shepherds Park.

i)           forward this resolution to all Governing Body members and all local boards for their information.
