Resolution
number HB/2024/105
MOVED by
Member J Parfitt, seconded by Chairperson A Poppelbaum:
That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
a)
whakarite / provide
the following feedback on the review of the proposed changes to the joint
Auckland Transport and Auckland Council traffic-related bylaws outlined in
Attachment A to the agenda report:
i)
tautoko / support
Option 4, to establish a single bylaw by Auckland Transport and Auckland
Council to replace the existing bylaws
ii)
whakaae / agree to continue
to prohibit or restrict the use and parking of vehicles on a beach, which
ensures our highly valued beaches are safe and able to be used recreationally
by all
iii) tautoko / support the prohibition of berm
parking where there is a formed kerb and channel, or in areas that have been
grassed or planted, or any vegetation not intended to be a carpark, but note
the following concerns that need to be further considered:
A)
express concern
that the unintended consequences of berm parking bans, particularly in areas
with narrow streets and in areas that are not well served by public and
active transport
B)
express concern
that the prohibition of berm parking could cause confusion for residents and
motorists if it will be applied ad hoc rather than a general ban
C)
express concern
that restrictions on berm parking will be challenging to implement with the
lack of carparks in intensified developments as a result of the removal of
minimum carparking requirements in the Auckland Unitary Plan.
iv) tuhi ā-taipitopito
/ note public safety concerns, emergency vehicle access and potential damage
berm parking can cause and therefore the need to prevent it
v)
tautoko / support
amendments relating to unsuitable traffic or heavy vehicles parked on roads,
particularly to help address heavy vehicles accessing development or
construction sites, causing damage to surrounding roads
vi)
tautoko / support the
prohibition of heavy and commercial vehicles being parked overnight on
residential streets
vii)
tono / request that an
additional concurrent piece of work be delivered to ensure effective
enforcement of the rules contained in a new transport bylaw.
