That the Rodney Local Board:

a)        whakarite / provide the following submission to the proposal

i)          recognise the feedback from Rodney residents, with 76 per cent opposing the proposed changes and 20 per cent supporting them

ii)         recommend the status quo with no changes to representation in this review cycle based on the clear message of no change from 76 per cent of Rodney residents.

iii)        acknowledge the risk that if the proposed changes are implemented there is the risk that Wellsford, a community facing social challenges, may no longer have any representation as the subdivision members maybe elected in the more populated areas of the North Rural subdivision and these members may not understand Wellsford’s needs

iv)        express concern that many rural areas in Rodney will be developed as result of out of sequence private plan changes and fast track subdivision consents within the next review cycle and this will significantly change the spread of the population throughout Rodney, and it is prudent to wait until next review cycle until any changes are considered

v)         recognise that rural communities identify with their closest town, school, and community facilities such as sports fields, parks and libraries not with just being rural

vi)        acknowledge that community groups and Iwi were not involved in the options analysis and creation of the proposed changes

vii)       express concern about the lack of natural justice for our communities due to the limited range of inclusion in this process as compared to others
