Reporting on the
nature and extend of council's involvement in responding to youth gang activity
in Auckland. Youth gang issues have been identified by central government,

development worker for Otahuhu by Council and the Ministry of Social Development
for a 3-year period;
- recommends to the Partnerships Committee
that Council contribute $120,000 from the Diversity targeted rate to fund a
community development worker in Otahuhu. The funding will match the contribution
of $120,000 from the Ministry of Social Development for this 3-year project;
- supports Council's membership of the
Auckland Youth Support Network and ongoing advocacy to central government to
ensure that the issues surrounding youth gangs in Avondale, Mt Roskill and
Wesley receive a greater level of funding and priority within the region and
that new initiatives are developed in partnership with Council and the
community;
- notes that a report is scheduled for the
Community Development and Equity Committee for August 2007 on Stage Two of the Otahuhu Recreation Precinct, Swimming Pool and Library;
- invites the Regional Commissioner, Isabel
Evans, a representative from the Ministry of Social Development and Inspector
Jim Wilson from Avondale Police to attend the Public Forum of the August
Community Development and Equity Committee to update the Committee on Youth
Gangs response in Auckland City; and
- notes that a report is to be made to the
Community Development and Equity Committee in early 2008 on options for
enhancing the provision of public information, advice and services in Otahuhu.
- That the report and the committee's
resolutions be forwarded to all community boards for their information."
