   Penny Pirrit
   Group Manager, City Planning	16 July 2007

   Reporting that the Isthmus section of the Auckland City District Plan was notified in 1993 and brought together 10-12 district plans that existed prior to local government amalgamation in 1989. It was also developed in the early days of the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) and prior to the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA). There are a number of significant factors that will inform and influence the upcoming review of the operative district plan. These factors include changes to legislation (both the RMA and the LGA), case law, the Long Term Council Community Plan (LTCCP), the desire for more focused community outcomes and value of 'sense of place', and the development of a vision and key strategies for Auckland City Council.

   This report was presented to the Urban Strategy and Governance Committee on 2 August 2007, where it was resolved as follows:

   1. "That the Committee endorses the three level approach to the development of the isthmus district plan.
   2. That the Committee notes that the community development framework will be a core element of future liveable community plans.
   3. That the Council highlights the district plan aspects of any liveable community plan changes introduced through the isthmus district plan review in 2009.
   4. That emphasis be given to the implementation of the liveable community plans for Panmure, Glen Innes, Newmarket, Avondale, Ellerslie, Otahuhu, Sylvia Park surrounds and that no further liveable community plans be developed until after the district plan is reviewed in 2010.
   5. That Bridget Graham, Chairperson Maungakiekie Community Board be thanked for her attendance and the information provided.
   6. That Community Boards be advised of this decision.
   7. That the Committee notes that priority will be given to the Onehunga area in developing the Area Plan approach and that:
      • the Area Plan will give a detailed planning framework for the future development of Onehunga;
      • this work will be developed in consultation with stakeholders in the Onehunga area.

   Recommending that the report of the Group Manager, City Planning, dated 16 July 2007, be received, and that the resolutions of the Urban Strategy and Governance Committee, dated 2 August 2007, be noted.
