Local
Board Input into Council's submission on Making it easier to build granny
flats (MBIE)
|
|
|
Resolution
number OP/2024/100
MOVED by Chairperson
AR Autagavaia, seconded by Deputy Chairperson V Hausia:
That the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board:
a)
whakarite /
provide the following points of feedback for inclusion in Auckland
Council’s submission on making it easier to build granny flats:
i)
tautoko / support
the proposal to allow 60m2 buildings which will allow the
community to have more options for housing their families on the same
property
ii)
tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that there is, unfortunately, a practice of
non-consented work within our community, and this central government proposal
can potentially help with one less hurdle for our people to jump through, and
lift the lid off hidden work already carried out in the community
iii)
is concerned about
deregulation and the impact of the quality of builds as with no oversight by the
council carries a high risk of no liability from builders and contractors who
may not follow the correct building code. We have witnessed and experienced
the leaky building saga, with builders and contractors wiped their hands off
liability for building defects by folding up their companies
iv)
is concerned that
the deregulation carries the risk that will have a major negative impact on
the homeowner. Most people in the local area, living on limited income, will
be at the risk of using dodgy operators. Our people will be worse off under
this proposal as ultimately it will leave homeowners out of pocket
v)
tuhi
ā-taipitopito / note that this proposal will make it difficult to plan
for city infrastructure, population increase and identifying needs for
council services and place-making role of local boards
vi) tono / requests that
these concerns be taken into consideration as part of council’s
submission and feedback to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment’s discussion document, “Making it easier to build
granny flats” and finalizing the policy.
