Resolution
number MR/2024/181
MOVED by Chairperson
M Winiata, seconded by Deputy Chairperson G Murphy:
That
the Manurewa Local Board:
a)
do not support the
Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy going to consultation
until the local board increased decision-making lens is applied across the
review of the strategy
b)
recommend staff
engage with the ‘More Empowered Local Boards programme’ to
address the following concerns:
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)
the current
operational approach has not been designed with local boards in mind, instead
it takes a regional approach
iv)
the new policy
needs to be drafted in such a way to give clearer direction to staff when
implementing the policy to ensure local boards, as governors, are provided
with the necessary advice for decision-making
v)
the policy
currently does not give adequate effect to the allocation of decision-making
table which outlines that local boards have significant decision-making
responsibilities over local parks and community services
vi)
the
prescriptiveness of the strategy 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, rather than saving money, which 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
designed and agreed by each individual local board, based on their local
needs and context
e)
tono / request that
the strategy places greater emphasis on areas of higher deprivation given the
additional challenges unique to those areas including Manurewa
f)
whakarite / provide the
following feedback on the strategic directions and investment principles in
Manaaki Tāmaki Makaurau, the draft Auckland Open Space, Sport and
Recreation Strategy, for consideration by the Policy and Planning Committee
i)
tautoko / support
the ‘principle-based’ approach to consolidating and simplifying
five strategies, policies and plans that previously guided investment in open
space, sport and recreation in Tāmaki Makaurau
ii)
tautoko / support
in principle the five strategic directions for the future provision of open
spaces and sport and recreation opportunities:
· make all of Tāmaki Makaurau our backyard
· deliver innovative open spaces in high-density
areas
· enhance our response to climate disruption
· protect and enhance our environment,
biodiversity and heritage
· support Aucklanders to live healthy, active
lives
iii)
tautoko / support
in principle the four investment principles:
· 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.
g)
tautoko / support the focus on developing the blue-green network to
better manage stormwater
h)
tono / request amending our
development contributions policy to better reflect the growth-related
infrastructure we deliver, including sports assets
i)
tautoko / support the focus on te tiriti, tikanga, mātauranga
Māori and celebrating Tāmaki Makaurau’s unique Māori
identity, but note that there is little detail in the policy as to how this
will be achieved or implemented
j)
tautoko / support partnering with organisations and companies to
increase the tree canopy and to continue delivering the Urban Ngahere
(Forest) Strategy to ensure Manurewa’s tree canopy coverage increases.
