18    Draft Business Improvement District Policy (2021) Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki
      Pakihi
      Resolution number DT/2021/144
      MOVED by Chairperson R Jackson, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J O'Connor:
      That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
      a) receive the agenda report on the Draft Business Improvement District Policy
         (2021) Kaupapa Here ā-Rohe Whakapiki Pakihi.
      b) is aware that the Takapuna Beach Business Association has raised concerns
         about the changes to the draft policy.
      c) defer this item to the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board business meeting to be
         held on 19 October 2021 to enable the local board to engage with our BIDs and
         BID constituents and seek further advice from staff prior to providing formal local
         board feedback.

19    Local board feedback on the kerbside refuse charging mechanism policy
      Resolution number DT/2021/145
      MOVED by Chairperson R Jackson, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J O'Connor:
      That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
      a)        support retaining the current hybrid charging model for kerbside
                rubbish collections with some areas on a Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT)
                model and other areas rates-funded at this time.
      b)        support retaining the current weekly general waste collections.
      c) believe that no change should be made to the status quo – that is the
         frequency of general waste collections or the current hybrid charging
         model – until the following investigations have been completed and, if
         supported, successfully implemented:
           i)       RFID-chipped bins
           ii)      weekly food scraps collection; and
           iii)     weekly recycling collection.
      d)        request that all of the options listed in resolution c) include analysis
                of whether it will achieve reduced waste to landfills, whether charges
                should be based on volume or weight, cost to council, cost to
                consumers, the cost of changing from one charging model or
                collection frequency to another, health and safety, and environmental
                and climate effects.
      e)        note that the former North Shore City Council, including the
                Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area, moved to PAYT general
                waste services and rates-funded kerbside recycling collections more
                than 30 years ago, achieving significant reductions in waste going to
                landfills. There is a high degree of support for the user-pays model
                for general waste, which places the responsibility on those creating
                the waste and not the homeowner.
      f)        note that some of the information in the research and reports appears
                to be contradictory, and there are still many gaps in our knowledge,
                with investigations of some options still to be completed. The local

                board considers that we should not contemplate any change to the
                status quo until these have been resolved. We also seek clarification
                and further information on the following:
           i)       further analysis on whether PAYT areas of Auckland produce
                    less general waste per capita than rates-funded areas.
           ii)      further comparison and analysis of the number of households
                    using council and private rubbish collections, a deeper
                    understanding of what drives their choices, and the impact on
                    council bin-tag revenue and collection costs; and
           iii) the effect of Covid lockdowns on PAYT bin tag revenue.
      g)        request that council advocate to the government that a greater onus
                for waste reduction be placed on manufacturers and retailers.
      h) recognise that providing additional waste diversion services such as
         food scraps collections, more frequent recycling collections, and
         education on waste minimisation, has the greatest effect on reducing
         the volume of waste sent to landfills, and supports greater investment
         in these areas.
      i)    note that the National Waste Disposal Levy is increasing from the
           current rate of $10 tonne to $60 per tonne in 2024 and recommends
           that council advocate to government for funding from the levy to
           support waste minimisation initiatives and activities.

                                                                                        CARRIED

20    Public feedback on proposal to amend the Animal Management Bylaw 2015

      That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
      a)        receive the public feedback on the proposal to amend Te Kaunihera o

                from across Auckland, of which 6 submitters were from the Devonport-
                Takapuna Local Board area.
      c)        partially support Proposal 1 – noting that 50% of local submitters
                favoured this proposal, 33% opposed, and 17% were ‘other – and:
                    i)    recommend that approval be required to keep more than two
                          permanent standard beehives on urban premises with a land area
                          of less than 2000m2;
                    ii)   recommend that the bylaw allow for the temporary keeping of
                          additional ‘nucleus colonies’ to support swarm management and
                          good hive management practices including splitting hives.
                    iii) recommend that consideration be given to introducing
                         restrictions on beehives in multi-dwelling blocks such as
                         apartments and terraced housing.

                      balanced in relation the nuisance factor in our intentifying urban
                      areas; and
                 v)   note concerns from submitters than onerous or expensive
                      licensing requirements could lead to non-compliance and have
                      the unintended effect of contributing to the spread of bee
                      diseases such as American Foulbrood.
      d)   support Proposal 2 to incorporate rules from another bylaw about the
           feeding of animals on private property, noting that 50% of local submitters
           favoured this proposal, 33% opposed, and 17% did not respond.
      e)   support Proposal 3 to update the definitions, structure, format and
           wording of the Bylaw and controls, noting that 33% of local submitters
           favoured this proposal, 50% were ‘other’, and 17% did not respond.

21    Public feedback on proposal to amend the Water Supply and Wastewater Network
      Bylaw 2015

      Resolution number DT/2021/147
      MOVED by Chairperson R Jackson, seconded by Member T Deans:
      That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
      a)   receive public feedback on the proposal to amend the Te Kaunihera o
           Tāmaki Makaurau Ture ā Rohe Whakarato Wai me te Pae Kōtuitui Wai Para /
           Auckland Council Water Supply and Wastewater Network Bylaw 2015 in this
           agenda report.
      b)   note that a total of 43 people and 3 organisations made submissions from
           across Auckland, of which 4 submitters were from the Devonport-Takapuna
           Local Board area.
      c)   support Proposal 1, to further define the rules regarding unauthorised
           taking of water from the network, noting that all submitters from the
           Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area supported this proposal.
      d)   support Proposal 2, to further define the rules regarding unauthorised
           discharges to the wastewater network, noting that all submitters from the
           Devonport-Takapuna Local Board area supported this proposal.
      e)   support Proposal 3, to provide clarification of linkages to other legislation,
           bylaws and documentation, noting that all submitters from the Devonport-
           Takapuna Local Board area supported this proposal.
      f)   provide the following additional feedback:
           i)    the local board is concerned at the low number of responses and
                 recommends that public feedback on future water and wastewater
                 issues also be sent out with water bills.
           ii)   the local board considers that much greater public education is needed
                 across all sectors, from residential through to business and industrial,
                 to create greater understanding and awareness.
           iii) the local board considers that the new bylaw must be enforceable, with
                meaningful deterrents and prosecutions, and be supported by
                sufficient resources to enable proactive enforcement.

           iv) the local board is concerned about ageing water and wastewater

               analysis of the impact that the increased push (wastewater) and pull

22    Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua - Age-friendly Auckland Action Plan
      Resolution number DT/2021/148
      MOVED by Member G Wood, seconded by Deputy Chairperson J O'Connor:
      That the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board:
      a)   support the draft Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua – Age-friendly Auckland Action
           Plan as presented in Attachment A to the agenda report.
      b)   note that while the actions in the plan are primarily intended to
           benefit older people, that these will also have tangible benefits to
           others in the community both now and in the future – for example
           that making sure public transport is accessible to the elderly will
           also benefit small children and the disabled, and many other
           actions in the plan would benefit people of all ages and stages.

      c)   support the aspirations of this plan but notes with concern that there is no
           budget to support council or local boards to implement or deliver any part of
           the plan, and there are no clear measures to track whether we are making
           progress in achieving any of the goals outlined in the plan.
