General Elections
The Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board would like to congratulate all the newly elected Members of
Parliament, as a result of the General Election held over the weekend, on
Saturday 14 October 2023. Preliminary results indicate:
·
Botany – Christopher Luxon is New
Zealand’s new Prime Minister elect. The Botany electorate covers parts of
Ōtara, and therefore we look forward to working with the top office of the
country to serve our local community.
·
Panmure-Ōtāhuhu – Jenny Salesa
has been returned to represent the people of Papatoetoe and Ōtara. With
her electorate office based in Ōtara, we want to continue the good working
relationship with our local MP.
·
Manurewa – Arena Williams has also returned
as local MP in Manurewa-, which overlaps into southern parts of Papatoetoe. The
local board wants to build on Arena’s first term, to represent the
people of Papatoetoe.
·
Māngere – Lemauga Lydia Sosene is the
newly elected Parliamentary representative after the retirement of Aupito
William Sio earlier this year. This electorate overlaps into western parts of
our local board. We wish Lemauga the best in her new role as the elected member
for Māngere including our Māngere East and Papatoetoe West areas.
·
Tāmaki Makaurau – Peeni Henare has
also been returned as the MP for our Māori Electorate that covers our
area. We look forward to continuing to work with Peeni to serve our Māori
constituents.
·
Takanini – Rima Nakhle is the newly
elected member for Takanini. This electorate comes into parts of Manukau and Ōtara.
The local board is keen to establish a good relationship with Rima to represent
the needs and wants of our community.
·
Fa'anānā Efeso Collins is likely to
enter Parliament for the first time under the Green Party List. He contested
the Panmure-Ōtāhuhu seat, so we have an additional representative in
Parliament. Fa’anana is no stranger to the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board, being a former Chair of the local board and former Manukau Ward
Councillor.
We look forward to working with all the
Members of Parliament in the next three years, to represent our all our diverse
communities here in Ōtara-Papatoetoe.

Manoj
Ragupathy
The Ōtara-Papatoetoe
Local Board would like to acknowledge Manoj Ragupathy, our current Local Area
Manager, who will have this as his last Business Meeting with our Board. As
part of restructuring Local Board Services, Manoj will be moving to work with
other Southern Local Boards. Although he is still working within the Auckland
Council, we acknowledge his hard work and service to elected members and to our
wider community. His sage advice is always sought after, and his advocacy for
this Local Board within Council has allowed us to better represent, and make
good decisions on behalf of our community. Thank you, Manoj. Nga mihi nui kia
koe.

Resolution
number OP/2023/163
MOVED by Chairperson AR Autagavaia, seconded by Member TF
Folau:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board:
a) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note the summary of public consultation feedback received
on the proposed Katoa, Ka Ora speed limit changes (Attachment D), and that
299 submissions were on the local area and 56 were from people living locally
b) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note that interest in the proposal for the local area is
driven by varied interests, that is, comprised of visitors (165), transiting
through driving or commuting (149), pedestrians and cyclists (46) and those
interested to give feedback because they live in the area (56)
c) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note that 42 per cent of local submitters supported the
16 safer speed zones (30 km) proposed in the local board area
d) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note that 51 per cent of local submitters supported the
variable speed limits near schools, that it would improve safety; there were
also 33 submitters who hold the view that the change will not improve safety
e) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note that feedback from 14 local schools is not
favourable on specific variable speed limits
f) tautoko/
support the approach to standardise operating times for variable speed limits
near schools, noting that most local respondents have expressed that
standardised times are easier to understand; that local response is similar
to feedback from the wider region on this question. People have expressed
that Auckland wide is simpler or less confusing (1,432 mentions)
g) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note AT’s responses to previous local board queries
about Katoa, Ka Ora (Attachment A), and give further comments:
i) tautoko/
support the action to include those schools in Ōtara-Papatoetoe that
were not included in previous phases of the Safe Speeds Programme for
permanent or variable 30km/h speed limit changes
ii) reiterate
and request action for community safety education in parallel to roll out of
speed changes, that is coordination of education and enforcement activities
with the roll out of speed changes
iii) appreciate
inclusion of electronic signage at all appropriate opportunities to support
the speed limit changes around schools
iv) continue
to stress on need for action on safety concerns through infrastructure
improvements by Auckland Transport through their other programmes at all
high- risk locations, particularly around schools in Ōtara-Papatoetoe.
The board support advocacy from local schools for ensuring safety around
schools and arterials
h) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note AT’s legal obligations under the Land
Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2022 (Rule) and that the Rule
requires best efforts to complete safe and appropriate speed limit setting
near schools by 2027
i) tuhi
ā-taipitopito/ note that since June 2020, when the programme started,
road deaths reduced 30 per cent in the areas where speed limits have changed
j) tautoko/
support the location and scope of the proposed speed limit changes identified
for this local board area (Attachment C and Attachment E)
k) tautoko/
support speed limit review of additional locations, namely on Bairds Road
outside Bairds Mainfreight Primary School, requested in public consultation
feedback and recommended for the next future consultation in Attachment C
l) tono/
request action to implement signage on changes on speed zones timely manner
to ensure awareness and safety for all
m) tono/
request Auckland Transport to bring forward the planned review of permanent
speed limits near all remaining schools in Auckland in a future consultation
n) tono/
request for more investment to engage with the varied ethnic and cultural
communities in local area noting that demographic profile of submitters is
disproportionate to the ethnic and cultural diversity of the area
o) appreciate
the ongoing dialogue at the local level, with the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board to ensure community voices are considered in regional and national
transport projects.

number OP/2023/165
MOVED by Chairperson AR Autagavaia, seconded by Member TF
Folau:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board:
a) tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note the local fees and charges consultation content
which will be consulted as part of the 10-year Budget 2024-2034 for the
following:
i) Phase two of Active
Communities fees and charges review
A)

introduction of a new Auckland-wide membership option that allows access to
all Auckland Council Pool & Leisure sites regardless of operator
B) Aquatic
Entrance Fees
1) The
introduction of baseline aquatic entrance fees for all Auckland Council Pool
and Leisure sites
2) An
increase to the concessionary discount from 15 per cent to 40 per cent
C) Swim
School Fees
1) An
increase to swimming lesson prices closer to market rates whilst maintaining
accessible pricing for Aucklanders
2) A
new 30 per cent discount for Community Service Card Holders and their
dependents
3) A
new 40 per cent discount for those with special needs that require private
lessons
D) Recreation
Fees
1) An
increase to holiday programme and OSCAR (before and after school care) fees
2) To
simplify recreation term programme pricing
ii) Phase
one of Venue Hire and Bookable Spaces review
A) To
adjust fees in line with Hire Fee Framework July 2014.
b)
whakatārewa /defer its feedback on the proposed changes to local fees
and charges regional proposals until the results from the public consultation
phase is presented in full to the local board; as the information about the
consultation results will allow the local board to be more informed in setting its local fees and charges schedule, and local
performance measures.
c)
tuhi ā-taipitopito/ note that pricing can be a significant barrier for
our community to access local facilities, potentially driving residents
to opt for more affordable private alternatives.
d)
tuhi ā-taipitopito/ note its concern that the introduction of spectator
fees in some southern local board areas can be a barrier to accessing council
swimming pools, particularly for parents observing their children or
attendees at community events. This policy may inadvertently deter
communities from engaging or participating in local community life, which
runs counter to the local board’s goal of fostering active lifestyles
and wellbeing.
e)
tuhi ā-taipitopito/ note the local policy of giving free access to local
pools through a local targeted rate highlights the board’s commitment
to foster community health and wellbeing.
f) tono/request the
Governing Body allocate regional funds, contributing to the forecasted
inflation for council’s local recreation services in 2024/2025. This
measure will assist local ratepayers amid current economic challenges.

Auckland Council submission on the Inquiry
into Climate Adaptation
|
|
|
Resolution
number OP/2023/167
MOVED by Chairperson AR Autagavaia, seconded by Member V
Hausia:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board:
a) whakarite
/ provide the following feedback for inclusion into Auckland Council’s
submission on the Inquiry into Climate Adaptation.
i) tautoko/
support “community-led retreat” meaning moving homes, businesses,
sites of cultural significance and taonga out of harm’s way through a
carefully planned process that involves the community at every step. However,
the mechanisms and resourcing of the planned process must meet community
involvement and expectation. It would be a waste of community time and effort
to have unfunded local decisions
ii) tautoko/
support Māori-led adaptation receiving adequate investment to meet and
adapt to the challenges of climate change. The board is of the view that
Māori will be more vulnerable to the risk of climate change. Māori
often have more crowded households and lower incomes and will therefore have
less financial ability to adapt to climate change. Furthermore, Māori
suffer from poor health outcomes such as respiratory illness, and are
therefore likely to suffer poorer health outcomes in heatwaves and
severe storms
iii) tautoko/
support any assistance for our community who may have to relocate or retreat
due to the risk of climate change, especially as many in our community are
underinsured. The tornado that hit our Papatoetoe community in 2021,
highlighted the inequities our communities face in weather related incidents
iv) tono/request
that an “equity lens” is applied at every opportunity as our
families have limited income, and in these financially strained times, often
insurance cover is one of the first things to be cut from a household budget.
Therefore, any adaptation or retreat must have an equity lens over the
financial impact it could have on our communities who are already vulnerable
to climate change
v) note
/tuhi ā-taipitopito that nationalised programmes such as Accident
Compensation Corporation and Toka Tū Ake -EQC show how a collective
approach can have wide spread benefit and is funded by all. Such levies
should be investigated to help fund the adaptation needed by all. While
weather incidents are non-discriminative, the impact is felt inequitably by
those most vulnerable and least resourced or financially capable to adapt to
climate change
vi) tautoko/ support a te
Tiriti-based approach which would support the Crown to work proactively with
iwi, hapū and Māori to understand how to uphold Māori rights
and interests and kāwanatanga obligations in a way that creates space
for tino raNgātiratanga.
