Deputy Chair B Ranson opened the meeting with a karakia.
Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atakura
He tio, he huka, he hauhū
Tihei Mauri Ora!
Cease oh winds of the west and of the south
Let the bracing breezes flow
over the land and the sea
Let the red-tipped dawn come
with a sharpened edge, a touch of frost
a promise of a glorious day

Review of the allocation table recording the allocation of decision-making responsibility for non-regulatory activities |
|
|
Resolution number WHK/2024/25 MOVED by Chairperson C Handley, seconded by Member R Tucker: That the Waiheke Local Board: a) support policy review to ensure that the allocations to local boards can be given full effect. b) note the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 refers to the need for subsidiarity as local boards better enable the purpose of local government to be given effect to within the local board area. c) support the proposal for more empowered local boards, noting the recommendations of the 2016 Governance Framework Review (GFR) and the Governing Body’s October 2021 decision to approve Increased Local Board Decision-making and the need for policy and allocations to align with this change. d) do not support the decision making for stormwater projects that occur on local parks being allocated to the Governing Body or the new process outlined in the report, noting that local stormwater quality projects within regional frameworks are already allocated to local boards. e) seek the legal view provided to Local Board Chairs’ Forum related to stormwater activities in local parks be circulated to all local board members. f) support local boards holding the decision-making on park related land exchanges and any associated disposals. g) support local boards holding the decision-making on non-service assets as many properties have not been able to be ‘service properties’ for extended periods of time due to budget cuts impacting on maintenance funding, and divestment of these properties can be used for optimisation by the local board. h) suggest that local boards are able to submit to the government on legislation or inter-regional matters when the Governing Body chooses not to, as otherwise our views and preferences are not being heard. i) note its disappointment that the decision-making responsibility for economic development plans is no longer relevant, as Tātaki Auckland Unlimited is no longer funding economic development outside the CBD. j) look forward to receiving further advice on the ability and processes for local boards to assume decision-making responsibility for procurement for local activities. |
