This Supplementary Order Paper amends the Point England Development Enabling Bill.

As the administering body of the Point England Recreation Reserve, the Auckland Council is required to manage the reserve in accordance with the management plan that is in force under the Reserves Act 1977.

Currently, there are 8.4 hectares of sports fields on the Point England Recreation Reserve, 5.3 hectares of which are on the remaining reserve land. New clause 10 deems the management plan to be amended so as to prohibit farming or grazing on the remaining reserve land and to require a minimum area of sports fields to be provided. Within 12 months after the commencement date, the area of sports fields on the remaining reserve land must be not less than the current area of 5.3 hectares, and as soon as practicable after that, the area of sports fields must be increased to 8.4 hectares.

The Council is required to update the management plan to reflect these deemed amendments, and they cannot be removed from the management plan until after the expiry of 10 years from the commencement date of the Bill.

Clause 6 of the Bill is amended so that what was clause 6(4)(a) becomes clause 6(4). What was clause 6(4)(b) is relocated to new clause 11.
