MOVED by Chairperson I Fordham, seconded by Member N Sanderson:

That the Aotea / Great Barrier Local Board:

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