Resolution
number FR/2024/196
MOVED by Chairperson
A Fulljames, seconded by Member G Holmes:
That
the Franklin Local Board:
a) whakahē
/ does not support the Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy
going to consultation.
b) tono
/ request that prior to going to public consultation the local boards’
increased decision-making lens is applied across the review of the Open
Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy.
c) tono
/ 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) does
not give adequate effect to the allocation of decision-making table
vii) strategy
prescriptiveness should be set at the local level at the direction of the
relevant local board.
d) 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.
e) whakaae
/ 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.
f) whakarite
/ provides 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) 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) support
in principle “making manaakitanga our legacy of a healthy
Auckland”
iii) support
in principle the five strategic directions for the future provision of open
spaces and sport and recreation opportunities, ie:
• 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
iv) support
in principle the four investment principles, ie:
• 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) 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.
