Individuals and organisations were able to provide feedback both online and via hard copy forms over an eight-week period from 18 May to 13 July 2020. The purpose of the staff report was to provide a summary of community feedback on the draft plan and to seek endorsement of staff’s recommended changes to the draft plan in response to the feedback received. The draft plan will then be presented to the Strategic Planning and Policy Committee for adoption in February 2021. A high level of interest was shown in the draft plan, with 220 forms of feedback received. The majority of the respondents were very supportive of the key components of the draft plan. Improving the water quality of the lake was a clear priority for the community; with high levels of support for the proposed initiatives to achieve this including the creation of a western lake wetland, the integration and enhancement of all outlets flowing into the lake, daylighting and riparian planting of piped waterways. There were also high levels of support for protecting and restoring all the heritage features, and restoring and enhancing the reserve banks through planting indigenous vegetation. Some concerns were raised that the proposed mārā hūpara play trail and the meeting place would detract from the natural beauty of the reserve, create additional parking demand and potentially create conflicts between visitors walking dogs and other users. Others noted the need to consider improving accessibility of the reserve and stormwater quality prior to it entering the lake. The staff report also summarised the findings of the investigation into the proposed flushing of the lake, and based on these findings, recommended retaining the proposed lake water quality improvement projects. The staging and prioritisation to implement the draft plan will largely be determined through the Waipā District Council 10 Year Plan 2021 – 2031 and subsequent budget processes, however, it is noted Council will also be seeking external funding to implement aspects of the draft plan. The staff recommendation was amended to include water quality improvement actions as set out in the concept plan and to investigate funding opportunities with the Waikato River Authority. RESOLVED 02/20/69 That the Council’s Strategic Planning and Policy Committee: 3 November 2020 Page 3 of 10 10508261 10 Strategic Planning & Policy Committee Agenda - 1 December 2020 - Confirmation of Minutes a) RECEIVE the report titled ‘Public Feedback and staff recommendation on the Draft Lake Te Koo Utu Concept Plan’ from Tofeeq Ahmed, Reserves Planner (Doc ID Set 10468901); b) ENDORSE staff recommended changes to the draft Lake Te Koo Utu Concept Plan as set out in appendices 3 and 4 (Doc ID Set 10480114); and c) ENDORSE staff recommendation to not progress any further investigations into the option of flushing the lake to improve its water quality and to progress the water quality improvement actions set out in the concept plan; and d) INVESTIGATE funding opportunities with the Waikato River Authority Councillor Gordon / Councillor Thomas 8 CIVIL DEFENCE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT QUARTERLY REPORT Presented by Emergency Management Operations Manager, Dave Simes, the purpose of the report was to provide the Committee with a quarterly update on matters relating to civil defence emergency management (CDEM) in the Waipā District.
