iii)        there is no rural or coastal lens across this strategy, it is focused on urban problems

iv)        the current operational approach is dysfunctional for local boards, it may work regionally but does not work for local boards

vii)      the strategy prescriptiveness should be at the local level

·       Take a benefits-led approach to improve the holistic wellbeing of people, places and the environment

·       Invest based on evidence of need and the voices of Aucklanders

·       Honour our Te Tiriti o Waitangi obligations

·       Work together towards a healthy future, using all our resources.

f)           ohia / endorse Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau, the draft Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy, going for public consultation

b)         recommend staff engage with the ‘More Empowered Local Boards programme’ for the following reasons:

i)           the current strategy assumes acquisitions are a growth response only

ii)      no advice has been provided to local boards on the local impacts of the strategy

iii)     there is no rural or coastal lens across this strategy, it is focused on urban problems

iv)     the current operational approach is dysfunctional for local boards, it may work regionally but does not work for local boards

v)      the new policy needs to be drafted in such a way to give clearer direction to staff when implementing to ensure local boards, as governors, are provided with the necessary advice for decision making

vi)     the plan must give adequate effect to the allocation of decision-making table

vii)    the strategy prescriptiveness should be at the local level.

c)          tono / request that planning for good community outcomes be the main focus of the Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy ie. saving money should not be an outcome in an open space policy

d)         tautoko / support the level of detail in the provision metrics, however the metrics should be agreed by local boards ie: there should be one for each local board area

e)          ohia / endorse Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau, the draft Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy, going for public consultation

f)           tono / request that the local board resolutions are circulated in full to the councillors and mayor and attached to the report that goes to the relevant committee.
