MOVED by Deputy
Chairperson D Grant, seconded by Chairperson J Gillon:
That
the Kaipātiki Local Board:
a)
tuku / provide the following feedback
on staff proposals relating to the allocation of decision-making
responsibility for:
i)
the urban regeneration and property
management activities currently governed by the Eke Panuku board, as follows:
1) reiterate the importance of ensuring the Northcote Unlock
project continues without issues despite the structural change, noting this
project is essential to the local Northcote community.
2) request the allocation of appropriate resourcing for
local planning work, as per the Local Board work programmes and Local Board
Plan.
3) request that local board input is sought on decisions
regarding the allocation of budget for priority location plans, including the
dentification, planning, development
and sequencing of urban regeneration projects.
4) support local boards being allocated decision-making for
the implementation of priority location plans.
5) support the recommendation that local boards approve an
annual work programme that specify projects, sites and/or activities in the
local board area.
6) note the subsidiarity principle, as set out in Section 17
of the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009 (LGACA) states that
decision-making should be local unless the nature of the activity is such
that decision making on an Auckland-wide basis will better promote the
wellbeing of communities across Auckland.
7) request that decision making for the disposal of
non-service property is delegated to local boards.
8) request that the existing delegation to local boards to
approve disposals of some service property that falls under the Service
Property Optimisation Framework is expanded to include decision making for
all service properties.
9) request a workshop with Haumaru Housing to provide an
update on the work currently underway in the Kaipātiki Local Board area,
noting that Eke Panuku currently hold the relationship with Haumaru Housing.
10) support
the new decision-making responsibility for local boards to approve annual
placemaking and activation plans and budget for their areas.
11) request
advice on the activities and budgets required for placemaking and activations
in the Northcote town centre, for the 2025/26 financial year to be considered
in our future works programme.
ii)
the economic development activities
currently governed by the Tātaki Auckland Unlimited board, as follows:
1) support reinstating the ‘local economic
development plans’ decision-making to local boards, however express
concern that local boards are not adequately funded to deliver ‘local
economic development plans’ projects and initiatives.
2) request that the budget allocation to local
boards is increased to reflect their additional decision-making and roles.
b) tuhi tīpoka / note that staff recommendations and
feedback from local boards will be considered at the Governing Body meeting
on 29 May 2025 and associated changes to the allocation of decision-making
table will be implemented as part of Annual Plan 2025/2026 decisions.
c) tuhi tīpoka / note that further work is required in
relation to determining the future decision-making allocation on:
i)
funding of new priority urban
regeneration or development locations as additional programmes are identified
ii)
how anticipated demand from local
boards for local economic development and urban regeneration advice is to be
addressed
iii)
property management decisions
(undertaken as part of the Group Property Review).
