Auckland Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Plan

Resolution number MO/2023/101

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Deputy Chairperson H Fatu Toleafoa:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) whakamihi / thank the Civil Defence Emergency Management Committee for allowing it to provide feedback on the draft CDEM Group Plan

b) whakarite / provide the following feedback:

i) diverse challenges: We have diverse experiences with flooding and extreme weather patterns have shown challenges like property damage, power loss, and service disruptions. Our vulnerable groups, especially those with disabilities, low-income families, and speakers of other languages, faced added hardships, emphasizing the unequal impact. While the plan is for communities like Mangere-Otahuhu, doubts arise about its full effectiveness, given the unique challenges we face. We ask to develop strategies to provide targeted support for vulnerable groups, such as those mentioned above

ii) local impact: the continuing emotional impact of future flood worries, and varying neighbourhood effects highlight the variable nature of disaster concerns. We question the plan's long-term impact, doubting its ability to truly address underlying vulnerabilities. We request action is taken to implement measures to address the ongoing emotional impact of future flood worries and varying effects in different neighbourhoods.

iii) leadership communication: the mayor's communications exerted a significant influence on public perception. The financial constraints resulting from the damage underscored the magnitude of the issue. Doubt may surface regarding the plan's efficacy and information accuracy. It is imperative to ensure the plan effectively spreads clear and accurate information, addressing any doubts and apprehensions within the community

iv) training and preparedness: conduct regular training sessions (2-3 times a year) for local board members to enhance emergency readiness. Updated key contacts within AEM and CDC venue lists are essential for effective coordination. Real-time platforms aid rapid information sharing during crises

v) effective communication: clear communication is vital in emergencies. Transparent channels for public information, proactive pre-emergency communication, and enhanced emergency mobile alert (EMA) with tailored alerts ensure accurate and timely messaging. Develop the EMA system to provide tailored alerts that accurately convey emergency information. That local radio stations and online platforms are maximised to help messages are being communicated to local residences.

vi) community response: regular readiness messages and collaboration with local radios boost community preparedness. Timely sandbag availability mitigates flooding

vii) coordination: a local response group involving leaders and agencies aids in swift and tailored action. Transparent CDC and sandbag location processes optimize resource deployment. Clear local board roles improve coordination. Develop a formal local response group involving leaders and agencies to enable swift and tailored emergency actions

viii) continuing impact: post-emergency support and ongoing information alleviate anxiety. Balancing regional and local communications ensures effective messaging. Funded intervention in ongoing post-emergency support and information to address lasting anxiety and concerns in the community.

i) tautoko / support the seven proposed principles of the Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Plan

ii) tautoko / support engagement with mana whenua on the Tāmaki Makaurau Recovery Plan

iii) tono / request targeted engagement and ensure consultation with ethnic groups and smaller communities to ensure all perspectives and heard and taken into account

Auckland Transport - Auckland Rail Programme Business Case (ARPBC)

Resolution number MO/2023/103

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Deputy Chairperson H Fatu Toleafoa:

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a) acknowledge the Auckland Rail Programme presents an excellent opportunity to integrate and enhance South Auckland’s transportation infrastructure and request the following key aspects are implemented:

i. link rapid transit network with local business cases: seamless integration between the Auckland Rail Programme and other projects is crucial like the Māngere East and Manukau Single Stage Business Case, Airport to Botany etc; coordination ensures that transportation planning and infrastructure development align with the area's growth and development, effectively connecting residents to key destinations. By considering area plans and strategies, the Auckland Rail Programme will become more inclusive and forward-looking and will benefit the local area by improving connections, creating business opportunities, being eco-friendly, and involving the community, resulting in better lifestyles and helping our area grow and develop

ii. improve pathways to train and bus stations - to encourage public transportation usage, upgrading pedestrian and cycling pathways to train and bus stations is essential, enhancing accessibility with safe and well-designed pathways will make it convenient for residents to use the rail network regularly including the following local projects:

A) request that this programme also considers the unfinished Ōtāhuhu Streetscape development to further improve this connectivity upgrade

B) improve the Middlemore train station’s traffic flow by providing better drop-off and pick-up areas to reduce congestion

C) integrate the Airport to Botany development by further enhancing this network to compliment the planned Manawa Bay shopping area and the second runway

D) consider integrating around the Manukau Harbour pathway that includes the Favona industrial and Ōtāhuhu train station locations

b) kohuki / consider business opportunities at train stations and pathways: local train stations and their surrounding pathways offer promising business opportunities and implementing pop-up vendors and retail spaces at stations will enhance the passenger experience while simultaneously stimulating local economic growth in the south Auckland area

c) kohuki / consider integration of light and heavy rail - efficiently exploring the integration of light and heavy rail without causing delays is crucial for an effective transit network; strategic planning of rail routes and construction projects can ensure that both types of rails complement each other, creating a flexible transit system for the local community

d) kohuki / consider a procurement plan for local providers - developing and implementing a procurement plan that encourages local providers to bid for project work is vital; supporting local businesses, providing services, employing locals as operational and technical staff and services and contributing to the local economy through job opportunities in our local area

e) kohuki / consider climate change and population growth implications – the Auckland Rail Programme should align with climate change mitigation efforts and address the impact of population growth. By reducing emissions, promoting public transportation over private cars, and easing congestion, the rail system should support Auckland's sustainability goals while catering to the needs of a growing population

f) whakamihi / thank the Auckland Rail Programme Business Case team for the opportunity to provide feedback on the Regional Transport Network study and SSBC to create an efficient and accessible Rapid Transit Network in Tamaki Makaurau, promoting sustainable transportation choices and enhancing the overall travel experience for Aucklanders.
