Resolution number MT/2024/43

MOVED by Deputy Chairperson D Burrows, seconded by Member T Woodcock:

That the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board:

f) provide the following feedback on the Ports of Auckland proposal in the Long Term Plan:

 

Proposal

Support / Do not support

Local Board Input

Keeping underlying ownership of the port land and wharves but entering into a lease for the port operations for a period of 35 years

Support

Support leasing the wharf as the upfront lease payment and investment in the future fund, provides opportunity for alternative revenue generation. Additionally, with the uncertainty of international trade due to increasing global economic turbulence, this would mitigate risk to council and provide certainty to continue scheduled work.

 Recommend clarifying mana whenua involvement if the port is leased

 Note community concern that leasing the port to a private company may impact the affordable cost of goods for consumers

 

If the council group continues to operate the Port of Auckland, investing the profits and dividends in the proposed Auckland Future Fund

Support

 

CARRIED

 

 

Note: Under Standing Order 1.9.7, Member N Henry requested that her dissenting vote be recorded.
