| Hearings Services Manager |
13 July 2005 |
At its meeting held 25 May 2005 the Eden/Albert Community Board
resolved that :
- That the Board notes the following areas of
sensitive sites in the Eden/Albert Ward, namely:
- Kingsland shops
- Balmoral shops
- Mt Eden village
- Valley Road shops
- Sandringham Road shops
- Maungawhau [and any residential sites bounding
Mt Eden]
- Owairaka [and any residential sites bounding Mt
Albert]
- Mt Albert shops
The shopping areas are identified on planning maps as
generally Business 2 zone. Maungawhau and Owairaka are identified on planning
maps.
- That the Planning & Regulatory committee be
requested to:
- recommend to the General Manager City Planning and
the Manager Auckland City Environments such sites to Auckland City Environments
staff via memorandum and by identification within the GIS and computer systems
used by Auckland City Environments regulatory consent planners.
- recommend the need for the General Manager City
Planning and the Manager Auckland City Environments to give written and verbal
directions and explanations to Auckland City planning staff to explain how site
sensitivity arises, to be aware of sensitivity surrounding these sites, and that
planning staff be requested to take particular care and attention, including
carrying out their duties under the Resource Management Act, in assessing
applications for resource consent within the general confines of these sites.
- That the Board recommends to the Planning &
Regulatory committee:
- the need to examine closely the assessment of
environmental effects checklist utilised by Auckland City Environments consent
processing when processing resource consents, and to modify such checklist if
necessary; and
- that officers investigate the development of a system
by which the quality of decisions made by regulatory planning staff can be
measured.
- That the Board notes that the Ministry for
Environment's semi-annual RMA auditing process focuses undue attention on the
speed with which a resource consent is processed, and that this is not balanced
by a similar focus on the quality of decisions delivered by such processing.
- That the Board further notes that the Ministry for
the Environment will be undertaking the next RMA survey of local authorities in
the 2005/2006 financial year, that the survey questionnaire will be released
before 30 June 2005, and that responses will be collected from local authorities
after 31 July 2006.

Environment auditing process.
