Acknowledgement: June Mariu

Resolution
number WTK/2024/118
MOVED by Chairperson G Presland, seconded by
Deputy Chairperson M Clayton:
That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
a)
acknowledge the
death of June Mariu.
June is one of those
rare people without whom our communities would not be the same. June and her
peers form an important group whose dedication, generosity and commitment
make that community a better place to live in.
During June’s
life she achieved many things. She taught at Rutherford College and started
the Marae at the school. She was an exceptional netballer, a former captain
of the Silver Ferns and she was also a former President of the Māori
Women’s Welfare League. She was a tireless worker for te reo and for
Hoani Waititi Marae’s kohanga reo. She was an integral part of Hoani
Waititi Marae and without her the institution would be a pale comparison of
what it is.

Resolution
number WTK/2024/119
MOVED by Chairperson G Presland, seconded by
Deputy Chairperson M Clayton:
That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
a)
acknowledge the
death of Jennifer Lee (Jenn) Wyatt-Sargent 21 May 1946-1 July 2024.
We are saddened to
hear of the sudden passing of Jennifer Wyatt Sargent a local resident of many
years, known to many groups for her activities to support others. She was an
incredible community champion, serving in a voluntary capacity as chair of
Western Women’s Refuge and was a longtime supporter and friend to
Family Action. She was active in the business community working alongside
local businesses to see them thrive as well as offering Human Resources
support when needed. She will be greatly missed, and our thoughts are with
her family and friends.

Resolution
number WTK/2024/120
MOVED by Chairperson G Presland, seconded by
Deputy Chairperson M Clayton:
That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
a)
acknowledge the
death of Wally Thomas. We regret
to acknowledge the death of well-known Westie Wally Thomas. He was well known
in the west. He was originally the editor of the Western Leader. He
then became one of the managers at Waitākere City Council and I [Greg
Presland] had a lot to do with him during his time there. After amalgamation
he moved to Auckland Transport where again he had a senior role.
He was always approachable, had an almost
inevitably cheery disposition despite the work he was involved in. He
was dedicated and committed to his work. He had suffered from cancer for some
time but despite putting up a brave fight succumbed recently to it. Our
thoughts are with his whānau.

Resolution
number WTK/2024/127
MOVED by
Deputy Chairperson M Clayton, seconded by Chairperson G Presland:
That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
a)
whakarite / provide
the following feedback on the proposed changes on the review of Auckland
Transport (AT) and Auckland Council (AC) traffic-related bylaws outlined in
Attachment A of the agenda report:
Parking vehicles off a roadway (berm parking)
i)
do not support a
blanket prohibition of parking off a roadway or on berms if they do not block
or damage the footpath or berm on the basis that Auckland is in an awkward
period of transition with housing intensification, changes to parking
provision planning rules and the need for the city to keep investing in
public transport and active modes to change travel behaviour, which continues
to be highly dependent on private car use.

number WTK/2024/128
MOVED by
Chairperson G Presland, seconded by Member L Manley:
That the Waitākere Ranges Local Board:
ii)
note the
requirement for no-berm parking signs to enable enforcement will create
visual clutter on roadsides. Further work needs to be done to find an
alternative.
iii)
note that there are
many negative attributes of vehicle parking on berms and off-roadway areas
that may need to be dealt with on a case by case basis.
CARRIED

Resolution

MOVED by

Vehicles on beaches

resolution

|
The
public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the
disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists
under section 7.
|
s7(2)(h)
- The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local
authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial
activities.
In
particular, the report contains the local board's financial results for the
year which are exluded from disclosure prior to 29 August 2024. Auckland
Council (Council) currently has a number of bonds quoted on the New
Zealand, Singapore and Swiss Debt Markets (Quoted Bonds). As a result, the
Council is subject to continuous disclosure obligations, which it must
comply with under the listing rules of the NZX (Listing Rules), the listing
rules of other exchanges and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA).
These obligations restrict the release of annual financial reports and
results until the Auckland Council Group results are released to the NZX
– on or about 29 August 2024..
