Resolution
number PPK/2024/187
MOVED by Chairperson B Catchpole, seconded by Member A
Webster:
That
the Papakura Local Board:
a) does
not support the Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy going to
consultation
b) 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) 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
d) 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) 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) 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.
