Resolution
number PKTPP/2023/117
MOVED by Member B Shen, seconded by Member M Pervan:
That
the Puketāpapa Local Board:
a) whakarite / provide feedback on the proposed direction of
the draft Waste Management and Minimisation Plan for 2024-2030.
b)
acknowledge the
need to review the 2018 Waste Management and Minimisation Plan.
c)
support the
following opportunities to guide the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan for 2024:
i)
continuing on our
current waste minimisation pathway by 2040 including standardisation of
kerbside services, reflecting the Revised Resource Recovery Network Strategy
2021, and an ongoing focus on litter, illegal dumping and marine waste
ii)
refreshing our
focus areas for commercial waste streams, with a key focus on construction
and demolition waste, organic, plastics, cardboard/paper and textile waste
iii)
strengthening our
focus on climate change mitigation, adaptation and resilience
iv)
extending our food
scraps collection services to additional urban areas
v)
reflecting ways to
strengthen our partnership approach with mana whenua, and recognise the
benefits of te ao Māori
vi)
re-focusing
advocacy to central government to ensure that delivery of the 2023 waste
strategy goals and targets, and that cross-ministry policy supports a
circular economy
vii)
continuing to
address waste generated from council and council-controlled
organisations’ operational activities, particularly from activities
generating high volumes of waste
viii)
refreshing actions
to work closely with others, recognising that we cannot get to zero waste by
acting alone.
d) request that an inclusive strategy is created
for multi-unit development (MUDs) noting that:
i)
some
apartment complexes currently use non-council services so are not included in
the council’s waste management and minimisation plan related services.
ii)
there is an
increase in apartment complexes across the region
iii)
it reaches a lot of
people in one go so can have great impact on waste minimisation
iv)
it has been noted
in the past that council waste services can be provided to apartments but
only if it meets council’s specifications, however design standards for
this are not clear or are not mandatory
e) request consideration of intensification
(townhouse MUDs) and its effect on bin space along the kerbside and public
amenity - accessibility along the footpath, ability to collect, and damage of
public street furniture (street sign poles, cycle racks).
f) request that the source of waste should be
considered and targeted to reduce waste and increase circularity, for
instance:
v)
reducing hard to
recycle or reuse composite materials
vi)
reduce one-off use
items
vii)
promoting the reuse
of material and products that can have a continued life after the original
use
viii)
working with
central government on this.
