Resolution
number HB/2023/123
MOVED by Deputy Chairperson J Parfitt, seconded by Member
S Mills:
That
the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
a) whakarite
/ provide the following feedback on the draft Future Development Strategy:
i.
tautoko / support the
strategic framework of the draft Future Development Strategy including its
spatial outcomes and principles for a quality compact approach to growth and
change
A)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the need for a Future Development Strategy as
compelled by the National Policy Statement on Urban Development and the Local
Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009
B)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the high numbers of submissions from the local
board area, and the concerns of some submitters of the short duration of the
consultation
ii.
tautoko / support
the focus on the reduction of urban sprawl by focusing development in
existing urban areas, as envisaged by the Spatial Scales in section 4.1.1,
provided upgrades to infrastructure are carried out to sustain development
iii. tautoko / support the
focus for most of Auckland’s growth to be concentrated in existing
urban areas, near local centres and along the rapid transit network, in a
quality urban environment with higher density and mixed-use development
A)
tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that if we are to align growth with infrastructure
provision as envisaged by the Spatial and Growth planning in Tāmaki
Makaurau that growth within the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board area is likely
to be minimal compared to other areas where infrastructure supports the
growth
iv.
tono / request that
consideration be given to integrate the guidelines of the Auckland Council
Design Manual and Auckland Transport’s Transport Design Manual, to
allow for better accommodation of large vehicles including buses and
emergency vehicles, through roads filled with residents parking, now that
minimum parking standards have been removed as a result of the National
Policy Statement on Urban Development
v.
tono / request that
much stronger recognition in the draft future development strategy be made of
the risks due to constraints on releasing new land for development, resulting
from the twin pressures of a lack of funding for increased infrastructure
capacity and the out of cycle release of land due to private plan changes
vi.
tautoko / support
avoiding development in areas exposed to significant risk of natural hazards
as referenced in the Approach to natural hazard constrained areas, section
4.2.6, with regards to coastal inundation, erosion/slips, flooding, and
coastal erosion
vii. tautoko / support the protection from urbanisation
of areas of productive soils, to support future food security
viii. tono / request that greater use is made of
financial tools, such as the Crown Infrastructure Fund in Milldale to
assist with the challenges of developing greenfield space and providing
necessary infrastructure through integrated planning
ix.
tono / request that
greater clarity is provided to the public on where the projected $180 billion
dollars of capital will be derived from to provide infrastructure over the
next 30 years
x.
tautoko / support
the identification of risks and constraints on development as mentioned in
section 3.2 with regards to natural hazard, land use capability, natural
environment, natural heritage, and cultural heritage, as they are key issues
that need to be addressed for Auckland
xi.
tautoko / support
the emphasis on Local Scale, in section 4.1.3, with a key defining point
being that they are walkable catchments, as this aligns with the views of the
Hibiscus and Bays community
xii. whakaae / agree that private plan changes undermine
coordination of planning, however, recognise that any attempt to limit this
ability would likely impinge upon currently valued rights with regards to
private land
A)
tono / request that
private plan changes be treated differently within the draft future
development strategy, to be seen as complementary planning process, rather
than a risk, due to the inevitability of these plan changes being present in
the future development of Auckland, under the current framework of the
Resource Management Act 1991
B)
tono / request that
Auckland Council continue to engage proactively and positively with
developers, in the spirit of partnership, to ensure that Tāmaki Makaurau
is viewed as an interconnected living system by both parties
xiii. tautoko / support the use of sequencing,
timing and triggers for development to ensure readiness of areas with regards
to relevant infrastructure
xiv. tautoko / support the move to allow greater
access to employment by increasing business growth and employment
opportunities closer to home especially within our local board area by
enabling housing near accessible employment
