A)
tautoko
/ support the identified challenges as the key challenges facing our city

in

ā-taipitopito / note that all the remaining priorities are equally
important.

state
highway improvements: Planning and building the roads of national
significance, improving the motorway network

add
Chapel Road bridge and alignment (previously considered for the 2021 RLTP) to

A)
strongly
support the completion of the Eastern Busway [Pakuranga town centre to Botany

walking and cycling.
B)
tautoko
/ support the Mill Road project (Road of National Significance), specifically
the proposed intersection upgrades for Murphys and Redoubt Roads, and Murphys
Road and Murphy Park Drive due to urgent safety concerns about both

Local
board feedback on the draft Mahere Hukihuki mo te Whakahaeretanga me te
Whakaitinga o te Para / Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2024
|
|
|
Resolution
number HW/2024/106
MOVED by Chairperson
D Light, seconded by Member B Kendall:
That
the Howick Local Board:
a) whakarite
/ provide the following feedback on the Draft Waste
Management and Minimisation Plan 2024.
i)
whakamihi / thank local residents and organisations for
their input into the draft proposal.
A)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note the impact of the recent
bin reduction programme has had on public feedback.
ii)
in regards to the priorities for action, The Board;
A)
oppose the fortnightly rubbish collection.
B)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that more local
submissions opposed the change compared to supporting it (64 vs 31).
C)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that fortnightly rubbish
collection will likely increase fly dumping and that this is already a major
problem in our area.
D)
tono / request that any savings that are achieved through
moving to a fortnightly rubbish collected are passed on to the household
ensuring that households are not doubly penalised with a lesser service for a
higher cost.
iii)
tono / request that within action 8.4 ‘implement
standardisation of kerbside services’ Auckland Council waive costs to
households changing bin sizes and that a smaller bin size is also provided.
iv)
tautoko / support comments within the draft Plan to
explore ways of rewarding and incentivising householders who are very low
waste producers and suggest this be reflected more explicitly within action
8.4 itself.
v)
tautoko / support increased focus on reduction of
construction and demolition waste.
vi)
tautoko / support increased focus on the five priority
waste materials proposed.
vii)
tautoko / support increased focus on product stewardship
A)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that product stewardship
needs to be made more common, especially for items that are difficult to
dispose of such as bed mattresses, furniture, white ware, electrical items,
batteries and paint.
B)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that packaging product
stewardship needs to be initiated. The public should be able to return all
packaging back to the retailer. The retailer should be able to return the
packaging back to the manufacturer or distributer to incentivise reduction
packaging.
C)
bed mattresses and
furniture, white ware and screens make up a significant part of rubbish left
on streets and can be difficult for the public to get to a land fill. These
need to be prioritised for product stewardship programs.
viii) tautoko / support
advocacy for more tools to deal with litter and illegal dumping of rubbish.
A)
tuhi ā-taipitopito / note that illegal dumping of
rubbish is a significant issue in Flat Bush and requires greater and quicker
enforcement and removal.
ix)
tautoko / support more resource recovery centres,
including one for Southeast Auckland
A)
there needs to be a recycling depot in the Howick area
where the community can drop off unrequired items that are still of value and
the community can obtain those items at low cost or the materials can be
harvested for recycling.
B)
hazardous
waste such as batteries, paint, aerosol cans and fluorescent tubes are
difficult to dispose of properly and can cause environmental damage. These
need to be prioritised for product stewardship programs.
x)
in regards to targets
A) recommend
that ‘kerbside’ waste targets are not viewed in isolation and
that analysis around loose litter and tipping is also considered in order to
provide an accurate representation of waste minimisation.
