Resolution
number OP/2025/76
MOVED by Chairperson
AR Autagavaia, seconded by Member TF Folau:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board:
a)
tuhi tīpoka / note its
disappointment regarding the proposal to dispose of a site that was
originally acquired by Manukau City Council with the intent of providing a
local park, albeit it is now reclassified as a non-service asset. It is
noted that the need for a local park has heightened over time given the
residential growth in the board area.
b)
tono / request the
recognition of the local governance function in future decision-making for
non-service properties particularly where land was acquired for service
purposes. The current identification of assets as service and
non-service does not effectively allow for strategic local governance.
Further the gains from these assets sales remain unavailable to the local
board to allocate to meet future local needs.
c)
tono / request that sites
acquired for service purposes be considered as part of the Portfolio Service
Review, ensuring that the local board, in its governance capacity, has the
opportunity to provide informed advice within the with due consideration of
relevant policy framework and budgetary implications to maximize benefits for
the Local Board area.
d)
ohia / endorse the disposal
of 10 Lansdown Avenue, Papatoetoe being Lot 70 DP 44500 contained in Record
of Title NA1676/93 in this instance given its current classification as a
non-service asset and the constraints of its size and location, which render
it unsuitable for its originally intended open space purpose.
e)
tono / 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.

Auckland
Council’s submission to proposed waste legislation changes –
local board feedback
|
|
|
Resolution
number OP/2025/78
MOVED by Chairperson
AR Autagavaia, seconded by Member TF Folau:
That
the Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local
Board:
a) tuku
/ provide the following feedback on the government’s proposed
amendments to the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 and Litter Act 1979 to inform
the council’s draft submission:
i)
seek the inclusion in any Auckland Council submission reference to:
·
the need for sufficient and
predictable funding to ensure the council can effectively maintain and expand
waste minimisation activities particularly in higher deprivation Local Board
areas, to ensure equitable outcomes.
·
tuhi tīpoka/ note the
proposed funding allocation will change from a purely population based
funding, to 80% population funding plus 20% for factors such as rurality and
distance. Therefore, we would advocate for deprivation to be part of this 20%
portion, as our communities have less disposable income, and therefore
purchase low quality items which often are discarded earlier. We have seen,
through programmes we have funded locally, such as Neat Streets, that many in
our community cannot afford at an individual household level to properly
dispose of large items, and too often, these accumulate in backyards, or are
discarded into our awa.
ii)
tautoko / support all moves for central government policy frameworks to
progress action for extended producer responsibility, for specific priority
products stewardship.
iii)
seek further clarification on roles and responsibilities of mana whenua in
amended waste legislation in line with the council policy and Te Tiriti.
iv)
strongly tautoko / support proposed staff engagement with iwi and mana whenua
in the preparation of the council submission.
