Governing Body – summary of
decisions
Long-term Plan 2015-2025 - consultation document
The Governing Body adopted the consultation document for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 following a written letter and verbal report from Auditor-General Lyn Provost confirming the document provided an effective basis for public participation in the decision making process.
The Auditor-General said the document fairly represented the matters proposed for inclusion in the 10-year budget and identified and explained the main issues and choices facing Aucklanders.
Public consultation will run for seven and a half weeks from 23 January to 16 March 2015. Traditional style hearings have been replaced with Have Your Say events across the region where people can provide feedback and have their views heard by council.
The consultation document will be available online and in council service centres and libraries from the 23 January 2015. A summary of the key issues and proposals, as well as a feedback form, will be delivered to all households in late January.
Off-street parking
The
Governing Body agreed to introduce changes to the way its
off-street car parks are managed. The changes include a
number of possible methods including the ability to put in
new parking restrictions, introduce paid parking if
necessary and have special pricing and management measures
for events and seasonal peaks such as school holidays.
The changes are consistent with the council’s desire to promote public transport and discourage commuter trips at peak times to reduce congestion.
The recommendations were necessary interim arrangements in advance of a comprehensive region-wide parking framework which will be completed in the middle of next year.
Other items on the agenda
included:
• Approval of the allocation
of budget to the identified Maori transformational shift
priorities for years four to 10 of the Long-Term Plan
2015-2025
• Adoption of the new Auckland
Council Outdoor Fire Safety Bylaw 2014 to replace four
legacy bylaws relating to outdoor fires
