Local board feedback on Emergency Management Bill
|
|
|
Resolution
number WHK/2023/128
MOVED by Member R Tucker, seconded by Deputy Chairperson
B Ranson:
That
the Waiheke Local Board:
a)
support the changes proposed in terminology
from Civil Defence to Emergency Management, Group Controller to Area
Controller, and Civil Defence Emergency Management Group Plan to Emergency
Management Committee Plan.
c)
support the provision for greater
recognition of and collaboration with Iwi and Māori in emergency
management planning and the enhancement of Māori participation through
the emergency management system including:
i)
the establishment of the National Māori
Emergency Management Advisory Group
ii)
the establishment of representative
positions for Iwi and Māori in the Emergency Management Committee and
the Co-ordinating Executive Group;
iii)
support the identification of needs of iwi
and Māori in relation to emergency management and the development of
plans to address those needs, including identifying specific support
requirements of marae to address vulnerabilities.
iv)
recognition of the role and contribution of
iwi and Māori in relation to emergency response including the ability to
reimburse expenditure spent on provision of that support, i.e. opening marae
for shelter, provision of meals etc.
d)
support greater engagement of affected
communities in the Emergency Management Plan, particularly those
disproportionately impacted communities including seniors, disabled and the
identification of representatives of these groups to have input into the
Emergency Management Plan.
e)
support the change of focus and name of
Lifeline Utilities to Critical Infrastructure and the broadening of the
criteria to include:
i)
those entity’s or sector’s
assets, systems, networks, and services essential for the effective
functioning of the economy, public safety and security, or the provision of
basic public services or other critical infrastructure
ii)
private sector services such as banking,
internet and mobile phone services.
iii)
a more resilient view of hazards to critical
infrastructure including threats such as cyberattacks.
f)
suggest that funding is made available to
support the additional costs associated with implementing the changes
contained in the legislation.
g)
suggest that the legislation must provide
direction to the ability of territorial authorities to create more localised
Emergency Response structures, particularly in light of the January and February
2023 regional emergencies affecting Auckland, where the single regional group
structure was unable to effectively deal with a region wide emergency, and
where more local capability to respond could have allowed for improved
responses.

Funding Auckland's Storm Recovery and Resilience
|
|
|
Resolution
number WHK/2023/133
MOVED by Member R Tucker, seconded by Deputy Chairperson
B Ranson:
That
the Waiheke Local Board:
a)
commend Auckland Council for its responsiveness
to the challenges posed by property damage in recent weather events.
d)
support the adoption of Option 1, to accept
the proposed Storm Recovery Funding package, which includes the provision of
$1.1 billion of central government funding and $900 million of Auckland
Council funding to enable the urgent progression of:
i)
Increasing resilience in Auckland’s
infrastructure including the Transport network.
ii)
Offering a process for Category 3 buyouts of
the estimated 700 residential properties affected by the February weather
events.
iii)
Enabling the implementation of the Making
Space for Water projects.
e)
give the following feedback with regards to
the funding of Auckland Council’s contribution to the Storm Recovery
Funding packaging:
i)
support the mixture of borrowing, deferring
of some capital spending and finding ways to increase revenue to fund
Auckland’s contribution of the funding proposal.
ii)
does not support further increases in rates
for this funding, due to the ongoing hardship faced by current rate rises
across the region.
f)
support the inclusion of rental properties
and holiday homes in the definition of Category 3 residential properties.
g)
support the use of a fair value approach to
assessing the buyout value of a property, given that there may be differences
between current CV and market value of a property.
h)
reiterate its prior submissions that central
government has a responsibility to set up a national climate adaptation fund
recognising that everybody has contributed to the climate change and adverse
weather events, and that individual property owners are not responsible
including the uninsured.
i)
urge Auckland Council to review planning
standards that enable homeowners to build in areas that have proven to be
unsuitable for development.
