restate the
resolution number UH/2024/26 clauses e) – h) resolved at the 28
March 2024 business meeting in relation to more empowered local boards as
follows:
e) tono / request that more
information be provided to local boards to support their decision
making on the local board Asset Base Service Capex renewals budgets for
the following reasons:
I.
as local
boards get more decision making we will need more information on the future
renewals program for all our assets
II.
The current
renewal work programs show what is ‘in scope’ for the following
three years but no oversight or level of funding beyond that
III.
local
boards have been informed at a high level that renewals will not cover
replacements of current assets but aren’t provided any information on
what assets this could apply to.
f) tono / request
adequate funding and resource for to deliver reports, assessments and plans
for local boards to be able to operate strategically, currently funding for
strategic documents to guide future decision making is very expensive and
local boards must use their limited operational budgets to fund these.
More strategic high level information could be provided to all boards (e.g a
recreation analysis for all local boards).
g) tono / request local
boards are provided better information about growth funding in high growth
areas. e.g what is expected to be funded through growth funding in
various areas.
h) tono /
request officer advice on the Development Contributions’ policy
specifically how reserve contributions charges could be increased to the
amount permissible under the Local Government Act (2002) in order for
sufficient funding to be allocated for supporting investment in infrastructure
and recreation - this will empower local boards to provide better input
into long term planning.
i)
tono / request
advice on the formal process for local board decision-making in growth
funding allocation to local projects within an area of growth and intensification,
that is based on local priorities and needs, and in line with increased local
board decision-making responsibilities.
j)
tono / request
comprehensive and tangible advice on Growth Funding and Development
Contributions, particularly those collected for reserves to ensure the local
board has a well-informed and genuine opportunity to provide local direction
on capital investment through growth funding.

vi)
note that there is
an existing and growing need for aquatic and leisure services in the
northwest of Auckland and our local board is on the border of this area with
no aquatic facility.

northwest is placing stress on the wider aquatic network, including the
