conflict
|
|
|
Resolution number AE/2023/193
MOVED by Member J Maskill, seconded by
Chairperson M Watson:
That the Albert-Eden Local Board
a) consider an extraordinary item regarding the Israeli-Palestine
conflict at Item 17 of this agenda pursuant to s 46A(7) of the Local
Government Official Information and Meeting Act 1987:
i.)
the reason this
matter was not on the agenda is that the request for a response to the
present crisis and support for an immediate ceasefire was made by people who
assembled at the Auckland Council office on Saturday 2 December, which was
after the publication of the agenda.
ii.)
the reason why the
discussion of this matter cannot be delayed until a subsequent Meeting is that
the violence in Gaza is escalating now with the end of the temporary
humanitarian ceasefire and there is an urgent need for all concerned voices
to be raised for a permanent ceasefire today, before our next meeting which
will be in February 2024.

the meeting at 11.04am and reconvened the meeting at 11.07am.

agree in principle, subject to
detailed costings for realignment of golf course in line with option 3, hole
realignment at Chamberlain Park Golf Course, 46A Linwood Rd, Mt Albert
utilising capital renewals budget from the Albert- Eden Local Board work
programme under project #30547 Chamberlain - renew – park assets:
b) supports
option 3 in the officers’ report, noting that this
i) satisfies
the Golf Club's need for permanent safe greens, Auckland Council's
requirements to significantly reduce any errant golf balls, and is the most
cost-effective solution, subject to final costings being provided
ii) does not require
formal consent
iii) does not preclude the
option of future development of a west end park once Auckland Council's
finances are more viable.
c) any changes to course realignment shall be agreed in
concert with Albert Eden Local Board and Chamberlain Park Golf Club.
d) requests
that detailed costings be provided once concept plans have been finalised.
e) requests
that a further report including this information be provided to the Albert
Eden Local Board for formal approval in due course.
The motion was declared LOST by
3 votes to 4.
The substantive motion was put.
