           behaviour, and misuse of council-controlled public places including updating
           the definitions, structure, format and wording of the Bylaw and controls, and

19    Local board feedback on the kerbside refuse charging mechanism policy review
      Resolution number HB/2021/111
      MOVED by Member J Fitzgerald, seconded by Member J Parfitt:
      That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
          a) endorse all four key priorities of the kerbside refuse charging model policy
               review
          b) recommend that Auckland Council continue to allow for choice in the market
             for Aucklanders
          c) recommend that any review connected to waste minimisation should focus on
             ensuring the strategic objectives of the Waste Management and Minimisation
             Plan 2018 be followed, and that the generator of waste should be responsible
             for paying the true cost of managing that waste
          d) endorse the adoption of pay-as-you-throw across Auckland as the most direct
             method of ensuring households actively minimise the generation of waste
          e) recommend that cost recovery or free waste options that serve to divert waste
             from landfill are investigated or implemented with urgency across all of
             Auckland, but especially for those communities where there is evidence of
             difficulties of paying waste removal charges
          f) recommend that while pay-as-you-throw is not the most equitable option, nor
             has always resulted in the largest reduction of waste, it is the best option to
             ensure that those generating waste understand the true cost of their
             behaviour
          g) endorse investigations of a Resource Recovery Centre in a central location in
             the North Shore and add an extension to the lease and area of the
             Whangaparāoa recycling centre
          h) recommend that the pay-as-you-throw service is extended to include the
             Hibiscus Coast subdivision of the local board area
          i)   recommend that a food scraps service be extended to all areas of the local
               board area, including Ōrewa and Whangaparāoa
          j)   endorse the investigation of any innovation, including radio-frequency
               identification tags, that would improve the customer experience of the use of
               refuse bins and also act to minimise waste
          k) request a pilot study of localised food scrap collecting, utilising such
             organisation as the Zero Waste Table to Farm programme, and that Auckland
             Council becomes more receptive to such localised pilot studies
          l)   request that Auckland Council work with other councils in New Zealand to
               develop consistency in waste and recycling practices.
                                                                                    CARRIED

      Resolution number HB/2021/112
      MOVED by Member J Fitzgerald, seconded by Member J Parfitt:
      That the Hibiscus and Bays Local Board:
      a)   approve of the intention, signaled in the review of Auckland Transport’s
           Parking Strategy Review report, to undertake incremental change to allow
           Aucklanders to adapt to the changes arising from the Auckland Transport
           Parking Strategy
      b)   decline to support in the review of Auckland Transport’s Parking Strategy
           Review Report of any rapid introduction of interventions to change behaviour,
           unless that intervention is absolutely necessary and other options are no longer
           available
      Commerce
      c)   request adequate provision for parking to support retail and commercial activity
           be considered, and this be more explicitly considered as a separate part of the
           Auckland Transport Parking Strategy review
      d)   recommend that provision for loading zones for commercial deliveries outside
           medium and high-density building developments be considered as part of any
           new developments
      Town Centres
      e)   request that information on the policy behind the thresholds needed to change
           free parking to restricted or charged parking be made much clearer to Business
           Improvement Districts, and the public as part of the proposed introduction of
           Comprehensive Parking Management Plans, as these are not widely known
      f)   request information from Auckland Transport on how the public may seek an
           existing restricted or paid parking area to be decommissioned, if they are no
           longer in demand
      g)   request information on what evidence was used to develop the 85 per cent
           threshold policy applied to change free parking to restricted parking, especially
           whether this is universally applicable to commercial as well as residential areas
      Public Transport
      h)   recommend that any implementation of restricted or paid parking in an area
           automatically triggers an investigation of the adequacy of public transport links
           for that area
                                                                                   CARRIED
