Local board views on draft plan change to add trees and groups of trees to the Auckland Unitary Plan Operative in Part and to the Notable Trees overlay

 

Ruth Andrews (Senior Policy Planner) was in attendance via electronic link to speak to this item.

 

Resolution number MO/2025/31

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Member C O'Brien:  

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)    tuku / provide the following feedback on the draft plan change to add trees and groups of trees to the Auckland Unitary Plan’s Notable Trees Overlay:

 

i)           the local board urge the council committee to engage with the community to ensure residents, Mana whenua and stakeholders feedback is captured to assist in informing the local board’s final feedback to Schedule 10, and to the Notable Trees Overlay in the AUP maps  

ii)          the board supports the intent of the draft plan change to protect trees and groups of trees by adding them to Schedule 10 of the Auckland Unitary Plan and the Notable Trees Overlay

iii)        the board notes that 11 properties in Māngere-Ōtāhuhu will be affected, specifically in Favona (1), Māngere East (7), and Ōtāhuhu (3). The board seeks further clarification on the specific locations of these trees and their significance in terms of ecological, historical, or cultural value

iv)        the board acknowledges that these additions are based on public nominations and requests confirmation that mana whenua have been engaged in assessing the cultural significance of these trees

v)          the board supports the positive climate impacts of this plan change, recognising that tree protection contributes to carbon sequestration and urban cooling. However, the board requests further information on how these trees will be maintained and whether there are any risks of removal due to development pressures

vi)        the board request that the affected property owners are meaningfully consulted including Mana whenua, about the implications of their trees being added to Schedule 10

vii)       notes concerns regarding Kāinga Ora’s approach to notable trees in their developments. While Kāinga Ora has stated that removed trees will be replaced on a 'like for like' basis, the board has observed that this has not been consistently carried out. The board emphasise the importance of ensuring that any tree removals are genuinely compensated with appropriate replacements to maintain the area's greenery and environmental benefits.

Local board input into Auckland Council’s submission on the Term of Parliament (Enabling 4-year Term) Legislation Amendment Bill

 

Resolution number MO/2025/32

MOVED by Chairperson N Bakulich, seconded by Member H Fatu Toleafoa:  

That the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board:

a)      āhukahuka / acknowledges the intent of the bill to enhance long-term policy development and governance stability. However, the board has concerns about the Bill’s impact on local democracy and alignment with local government structures

b)      tuhi tīpoka / notes that the Bill risks creating misalignment between central and local election cycles. Currently, our local government operates on a three-year electoral cycle, which fosters regular community engagement and accountability. Extending parliamentary terms to four years could disrupt this rhythm, leading to coordination challenges in community planning, funding cycles, and policy implementation. Furthermore, overlapping election timetables—should local and central elections coincide—could dilute voter focus, skewing participation patterns and undermining the distinct priorities of local governance

c)      express concern about specific impacts on the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board, namely:

i)           election cycle misalignment – a four-year parliamentary term would create a recurring mismatch with the Local Board’s three-year cycle, necessitating adjustments to representation strategies and community consultation processes. This misalignment could strain long-term planning efforts, particularly for multi-year projects tied to central government funding cycles.

ii)          resource planning uncertainty – the Board’s 10-year strategic priorities rely on Auckland Council funding, which is directly influenced by central government policies. An extended parliamentary term might disrupt the timing of funding announcements or policy shifts, threatening the consistency of critical community initiatives such as infrastructure upgrades or social services.

iii)        compounded confusion for lay voters – the Bill’s focus on central government term changes, without addressing local government cycles, creates a fragmented electoral landscape. For example, residents might conflate the roles of local boards and MPs, misunderstand staggered term lengths, or overlook local elections entirely if parliamentary terms dominate public discourse. This undermines the principle of subsidiarity, where local decision-making should feel accessible and relevant to communities

iv)        democratic engagement risks – a prolonged parliamentary term could alter how local representatives engage with central government processes. The Board’s ability to advocate for community needs—especially in areas like housing, transport, and environmental management—may face delays or reduced responsiveness if central government priorities shift out of sync with local election mandates.

d)      advocate for the following recommendations to strengthen the Bill:

i)       retain the referendum requirement – public consent via referendum is essential to legitimize such a significant constitutional change, ensuring democratic buy-in

ii)      uphold proportional select committees – the proportionality safeguard for select committee membership is critical to maintaining checks on executive power and fostering cross-party collaboration

iii)     address election cycle interactions – explore mechanisms to realign or synchronize local and central election cycles, minimizing disruptions to community planning and voter engagement

iv)     preserve entrenchment provisions – these protections are vital to prevent arbitrary changes to parliamentary terms, ensuring long-term institutional stability

e)      emphasise that the Term of Parliament Bill offers potential benefits for governance continuity but must not overlook its ripple effects on local democracy. For communities like Māngere-Ōtāhuhu, where localised decision-making and timely resource allocation are paramount, the Bill’s success hinges on balancing stability with flexibility

f)       tautoko / support the Bill’s passage provided that the proposed democratic safeguards are retained and mechanisms are introduced to harmonize central-local governance cycles

g)      highlights that the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board’s unique needs exemplify why intergovernmental coordination must be central to this reform. Any extension of parliamentary terms should strengthen, not sideline, the partnership between central and local governance.
