Resolution
number KT/2025/301
MOVED by Chairperson
J Gillon, seconded by Deputy Chairperson D Grant:
That
the Kaipātiki Local Board:
a)
tuhi tīpoka / note that seven submissions (out of a total
of 196) were received from the Kaipatiki Local Board area on the draft
Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw 2025, largely in support of the proposal.
b)
tuhi tīpoka / note that it is not clear what changes (if
any) have been incorporated into the proposed Vehicle Use and Parking Bylaw
2025 as a result of public consultation.
c)
express
disappointment that none of the issues raised in our feedback [KT/2024/195]
appear to have been incorporated into the proposed Vehicle Use and Parking
Bylaw 2025, namely the following:
i)
Topic 3 –
Unformed Roads: Include a specific definition on “unformed roads”
(paper roads) in the new bylaw, and a reference to the “Management of
Unformed Legal Roads” policy.
ii)
Topic 9 –
Parking vehicles off a roadway (for example berm parking): Include an
exemption for vehicles that are being washed on grass berms, as this is
preferable to cleaning fluids going into the stormwater system, which is
often the case if cars are washed in driveways or other paved areas. Auckland
Council currently advises washing vehicles on grass, but many homes do not
have vehicle access to a grass area other than a public berm.
iii)
Topic 12 –
Special Events: Include an ability for Local Board-funded events to be
processed faster and cheaper, with reduced requirements for transport
management plans.
iv)
Topic 13 –
Unsuitable (including heavy) traffic: Include the ability for Auckland
Transport to require compensation to repair damage done to vehicle accessways
(to private property) caused by heavy vehicles during construction of
developments at neighbouring addresses, as well as roads.
v)
Topic 16 –
Broken down vehicles on a road or public place: This topic needs to be
strengthened to enable Auckland Transport to remove broken or abandoned
vehicles from roads and public places more easily and more quickly. We
acknowledge that there are statutory restrictions, however this is an area of
concern in the community and this problem needs a clearer, faster and more
robust response.
d)
tāpae /
delegate the local board Chairperson to represent views to the Joint Bylaw
Panel.
e)
tāpae /
delegate authority to the Chairperson of Kaipātiki Local
Board to make a replacement appointment in the event that he is unable to
attend the Joint Bylaw Panel.
