12 Local board feedback on the kerbside refuse charging mechanism policy review
Resolution number RD/2021/320
MOVED by Chairperson P Pirrie, seconded by Member B Bailey:
That the Rodney Local Board:
b) provide the following feedback on the kerbside refuse charging model policy
review:
i) the Rodney Local Board support both reducing waste to landfill and
carbon emissions
ii) note that the Rodney Local Board area does not currently have a rates-
funded refuse collection service or food scrap collection service (private
or rates funded) and that multiple private companies provide a refuse
collection throughout the local board area
iii) highlight that many Rodney Local Board area residents are not aware that
the current waste levy on their rates bill is for recycling and inorganic
collection only and that there would be an additional charge if the local
board area was to move to a council-funded service that includes kerbside
collection of general waste
iv) agree with the four key priorities of waste minimisation, cost, equity and
climate change when considering how to charge for waste collection
services
v) support changes to the charging mechanism of waste collection if it will
reduce both waste to landfill and carbon emissions while not significantly
increasing the cost to ratepayers
vi) note the findings of the Morrison Low report which states there is no clear
evidence that the Pay as you Throw model reduces waste to landfill
vii) consider that with the Pay as you Throw model there may be multiple
companies providing a refuse collection for each road and therefore
generating increased vehicle emissions, similar to the multiple private
Minutes Page 5Rodney Local Board
15 September 2021
companies currently providing refuse collection services to Rodney
residents
viii) consider that the advantage of the rates-funded service is that it would
reduce the duplication of refuse collectors operating side by side and
there would be only one collection day per rubbish cycle and one truck
collecting rubbish per road therefore reducing emissions, which would
also be an advantage in the new urban areas of Rodney that have very
narrow roads
ix) note that given that there is no clear evidence that the Pay as you Throw
model reduces waste to landfill, the capital investment by council of $30
million for the radio identification tagged bins required for the Pay as you
Throw service would be better allocated to creating bottle deposit
schemes throughout Auckland
x) consider that the evidence presented in the report shows that a weekly
food scrap collection, an improved recycling service and fortnightly refuse
collection service reduces waste to landfill significantly, however, this
type of service can only be implemented under a council funded model
xi) support the council-funded model for refuse collection in the local board’s
urban areas given that the food scrap service will be extended to the
urban areas of the Rodney Local Board
xii) consider that the three rubbish bin sizes available under the council-
funded model may not be suitable for residents that generate very little
waste and suggest an alternative bin/bag size at a reduced charge to
encourage further waste reduction
xiii) support the introduction of a council-funded model to reduce the total
truck kilometers travelled in the Rodney Local Board area by using one
supplier per area and selecting suppliers whose trucks have low
emissions
xiv) acknowledge public consultation has not yet been undertaken as part of
the current review of Auckland’s kerbside refuse collection charging
policy, and that the Rodney Local Board would welcome the opportunity
to provide further feedback after considering the views of Rodney Local
Board area residents.
A division was called for, voting on which was as follows:
For Against Abstained
Member B Bailey Member S Garner
Member D Hancock Member T Holdgate
Deputy Chairperson B Member C Smith
Houlbrooke
Member L Johnston
Member V Kenny
Chairperson P Pirrie
The motion was declared CARRIED by 6 votes to 3.

13 Local board feedback on Auckland Transport's Parking Strategy Review
Resolution number RD/2021/321
MOVED by Chairperson P Pirrie, seconded by Member B Bailey:
That the Rodney Local Board:
a) request Auckland Transport provides clarity within its consultation material that
proposed changes in government legislation that will remove minimum parking
requirements may have a significant impact on on-street parking and park and
ride facilities
b) request a further workshop on Auckland Transport's Parking Strategy Review in
February 2022 after public feedback has been received.
CARRIED
14 Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua - Age-friendly Auckland Action Plan
Resolution number RD/2021/322
MOVED by Member C Smith, seconded by Member D Hancock:
That the Rodney Local Board:
a) believe that the draft Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua – Age-friendly Auckland Action
Plan as it stands does not engage the multi-cultural audience that make up our
population, and contains corporate language and style that is not suitable for its
audience
b) note that local board feedback on the draft Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua – Age-
friendly Auckland Action Plan is being sought simultaneously with the public
consultation, therefore in providing its feedback, the local board is not able to
consider and represent the public feedback obtained from the Rodney Local
Board area.
CARRIED
