Resolution
number HM/2025/117
MOVED by Member I
Papau, seconded by Member D Collins:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:

Local
board input into Auckland Council’s submission on the Local Government
(System Improvements) Amendment Bill
|
|
|
Resolution
number HM/2025/118
MOVED by Deputy
Chairperson W Flavell, seconded by Member I Papau:
That
the Henderson-Massey Local Board:
a)
does not support the Local Government
(Systems Improvement) Amendment Bill.
b)
kohuki / consider that the Local
Government (Systems Improvement) Amendment Bill’s focus on prioritising
core services and changing the purpose of local government risks taking away
from the social, economic, environmental, and cultural wellbeing of our
community. These wellbeing’s are essential for Henderson-Massey to
thrive.
c)
kohuki / consider that by making
changes to the purpose of local government, the Local Government (Systems
Improvement) Amendment Bill could limit the Local Board's ability to respond
to the specific and unique needs of our local community. We know what's best
for our area, and we need the flexibility to act on it.
d)
kohuki / consider that the proposed
purpose and list of core services do not capture the broad and important work
that local government does, for example funding and supporting community
groups, protecting our taiao, and fostering a sense of belonging.
e)
kohuki / consider that a narrow focus
on "core services" could mean that funding and support for vital
community initiatives might be cut. This could include projects that support
local arts and culture, environmental protection, or local events that bring
people together.
f)
does not support the proposal for
standardised codes of conduct and standing orders, as a degree of local
variation is important to reflect local preferences and values.
g)
tono / request that these resolutions
be circulated to all local boards.

b) tautoko
/ support implementation of Option 3, a new signalised crossing at Don

general positive sentiment from the outcome of public engagement.

Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this

|
|
The
public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the
disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists
under section 6 and 7.
|

natural persons, including that of a deceased person.

yet been purchased by Auckland Council and are occupied privately, as well
as properties that are unoccupied and therefore vulnerable to anti-social
and criminal behaviour.
