Resolution
number PPK/2023/109
MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Member K
Hieatt:
That
the Papakura Local Board:
a)
whiwhi / receive the
council-controlled organisation update on the work programme (Apr-Jun 2023)
and anticipated milestones and engagement approaches for Quarter One (Jul-Sep
2023), noting the following feedback:
Auckland Transport
i)
provide the
following feedback to Auckland Transport on the first and last rail journey
project:
1)
The location of the
gates to access the Papakura train station platforms needs reassessment as
the current location creates confusion, congestion and impedes the flow of
passengers embarking and disembarking. This will be exacerbated by the Te
Huia train stopping at Papakura train station for the foreseeable future.
2)
People want secure
bike racks within the train station hop card zone. This is viewed as a
more secure environment as potential thieves would have to use a hop card to
access the area.
3)
The ramp at the
rear of the Cash converters and Liquorland businesses on Railway Street needs
to loop back to the train station. The current orientation is not safe after
dark.
ii)
advocate to
Auckland Transport for projects relating to Papakura in the Auckland rail
programme business case requiring funding through the Regional Land Transport
Plan process.
iii)
advocate to
Auckland Transport for the progression of the upgrade of Hingaia Road and the
Hingaia Road / Oakland Road intersection as part of the Regional Land
Transport Plan process.
iv)
request an update
from Kiwirail on the continual rail service outages.
Watercare
v)
thank Watercare for
their excellent communication and engagement on projects and issues in the
Papakura Local Board area.
Eke Panuku
vi)
thank Eke Panuku
for their communication and engagement on projects in the Papakura Local
Board area.
Tātaki Auckland Unlimited
vii) request that engagement on the Southern
Auckland Economic Masterplan change from consult to collaborate noting the
high level of impact and opportunity this will provide to local communities.
viii) note with disappointment the Tataki Auckland
Unlimited proposed decision to exit from supporting local economic
development programmes through local board work programmes and the lack of
discussion with local boards on alternative opportunities.
