Chairperson
C Handley opened the meeting with a karakia.
Whakataka
te hau ki te uru Cease
oh winds of the west and the south
Whakataka te
hau ki te tonga Let the bracing breezes flow
Kia
mākinakina ki uta over the land and the sea
Kia
mātaratara ki tai Let the red-tipped dawn come
E hī
ake ana te atakura with a sharpened edge
He tio, he
huka, he hauhū a touch of frost
Tihei Mauri
Ora! A promise of a glorious day!
A
moment of silence was taken to mark the passing of Hon. Nikki Kaye.

6 Te Mihi | Acknowledgements
The Waiheke Local Board acknowledges the terribly sad and untimely passing of Hon. Nikki Kaye. Nikki held the seat of Auckland
Central from 2008, when she entered Parliament at age 28, until her retirement
from politics in 2020. Over her tenure she was Minister of Civil Defence, of
ACC, of Youth Affairs and of Food Safety, as well as Associate Minister for
Education and for Immigration. As MP for Auckland Central she worked
extraordinarily hard, handling over 50,000 constituency cases. Of these - by
her own count – a quarter were for Waiheke. Nikki was incredibly
responsive to - and effective for - our island community. She led the first
round of the fight to get Fullers into the PTOM and advocated successfully for
priority boarding for residents. She fought for the National government to do
more for the environment, and championed marine protection in the Hauraki Gulf.
She secured over $40 million for the redevelopment of Te Huruhi Primary and
Waiheke High School. She took up our cause with the Ministry of Social
Development to get Accommodation Supplement rates on Waiheke increased. In her
final speech to Parliament she thanked the people of Waiheke for being a
“vocal and powerful force of nature”. As we did individually and
collectively over her tenure, we now thank Nikki again for her service to our
island community, and to Aotearoa. May she be remembered as one of the
brightest constellations in our dark skies. Moe mai rā Nikki.
The Waiheke
Local Board acknowledges and congratulates Gabrielle Young and the team at
Terra and Tide for winning the Tātaki Auckland Unlimited Tourism
Excellence Award (Micro Business) at the New Zealand Tourism Awards on 6
November. This award recognises their commitment to sustainable tourism and their
success in maintaining a light footprint on the motu, as demonstrated by their
achievement of Zero Carbon Business Operations Certification. Terra and Tide’s approach to business on the motu models
Waiheke’s expressed commitments to our environment and our community.
The Waiheke
Local Board acknowledges Mike Morgan who passed away on Labour weekend. Mike
was a resident of Waiheke for 17 years until 2010 when he relocated to Waihi.
He was a prolific and notable artist whose work was vivid in colour, and
usually humorous and satirical in subject. He often celebrated Waiheke’s
landscape and character in his works in ways that made us smile. He was a
well-known character on the island, often seen roaring around the place in his
beloved ‘32 Ford Coupe, Lucy.

|
Resolution
number WHK/2024/128
MOVED by Chairperson
C Handley, seconded by Member R Tucker:
That the
Waiheke Local Board:
b)
does not support the
Auckland Open Space, Sport and Recreation Strategy going to consultation
because the strategy document is unwieldy, difficult to comprehend, it is not
clear how it will impact locally, and needs to be simplified and localised.
c)
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.
d)
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. Some local board areas would
never meet the criteria to enable them to purchase additional land for
necessary recreational facilities or for other purposes such as ecology or
conservation.
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 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
v)
does not give adequate
effect to the allocation of decision-making table
vi)
the strategy
prescriptiveness should be at the local level.
e)
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.
f)
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.
g)
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:
A)
Make all of Tāmaki
Makaurau our backyard
B)
Deliver innovative open
spaces in high-density areas
C)
Enhance our response to
climate disruption
D)
Protect and enhance our
environment, biodiversity and heritage
E)
Support Aucklanders to
live healthy, active lives.
iv)
Support in principle the
four investment principles, ie:
A)
Take a benefits-led
approach to improve the holistic wellbeing of people, places and the
environment
B)
Invest based on evidence
of need and the voices of Aucklanders
C)
Honour our Te Tiriti o

D)

b)
recommend staff engage

D)
Work together towards a

f)
For reasons given above we
do not support either proposed package option, because the criteria is too
narrow to cater for all the scenarios for open space and recreation land
usage that local board areas need to address.
