Panel Membership - Mangere-Otahuhu

 

File No.: CP2015/09107

 

  

 

 

Purpose

1.       To note the co-option of Caroline Paepae as the Youth Advisory Panel representative for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu.

Executive Summary

2.       In January 2015, Member Torranice Campel resigned due to turning 25 years of age. To fill this vacancy, Caroline Paepae has been co-opted as the local representative on the Youth Advisory Panel.

3.       Caroline is an active member of the Ōtāhuhu Māngere Youth Group and currently holds the role of Deputy Chair.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Youth Advisory Panel:

a)      note the co-option of Caroline Paepae as the representative for Māngere-Ōtāhuhu until January 2016

b)      note that Caroline Paepae will turn 25 in January, and that the Ōtāhuhu Māngere Youth Group will undertake another co-opt process for the remainder of the term to June 2016

c)      note that a copy of this report has been forwarded to the Mayor for his endorsement.

 

 

Comments

4.       The Terms of Reference Section 9 “Replacement of Panel Member” states: “If a vacancy arises the following option will be considered to fill the vacancy”:

a)      the selection process used to appoint the member will be used again to fill the vacancy

b)      an unsuccessful applicant from the initial appointment process may be approached

c)      or a co-option may occur. However, if there is less than 12 months until the panel may be re-elected, the vacancy may remain”.

5.       The Ōtāhuhu Māngere Youth Group (OMYG) is an informal structure that has a strong and regular attendance of 10 young leaders that meet each month. This group is widely connected to other youth groups across the local board area and has been building momentum over the last 6 months.

6.       OMYG has undergone a significant process to reach a decision to support the co-option of Caroline, who is currently the Deputy Chair, after Caroline expressed her keen interest to take on the role.

7.       OMYG is hosting a community meet and greet on 28 May to increase its visibility, and to introduce the new Youth Advisory Panel member.  Then in the first week of July, OMYG is holding a three day youth leadership hui.

8.       OMYG is aware it will need to co-opt again in January 2016 and will use this opportunity to test run an election process in preparation for the formal election of a new Youth Advisory Panel member in the next term.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

9.       The Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board supports this co-option and one of the Youth Development portfolio holders has attended a meeting with OMYG to discuss the process.

Māori impact statement

10.     Rangatahi are being engaged in the recruitment for the Ōtāhuhu Māngere Youth Group through connection with the many active rangatahi and youth development groups and organisations in the Māngere-Ōtāhuhu Local Board area.

Implementation

11.     None.

Auckland is My Playground Update

 

Tim Matthews

 

Micah and I are working together with Auckland is my Playgorund lead Jo Macmillan in the Parks, Sport and Recreation department (PSR).

 

The PSR team has a team of workers who are working towards achieving the outcomes of this goal as set out in the I Am Auckland Plan. Focus for this goal is young people engagement, young people solutions and young people advocates. The YAP members working with the Auckland is my Playgorund team advocate and advise PSR on how to improve or change their actions, plans, goals and events to benefit and attract young people.

  

Projects from the Auckland is my Playgorund team:

 

Youth Week: Auckland is my Playground is creating a poster to raise the awareness of the Auckland is my playground goal as the voice of Auckland’s youth to youth and stakeholders within the sport and recreation sector. The poster will direct audience to the Auckland Youth Facebook page for more information.

 

Parks, Sport and Recreation have sponsored the Auckland is my Playground Award for the I Am Auckland Awards.

 

The equipment recycling project is an outcome of the ‘Youth Speak Sport’ young people’s sport and recreation summit. The purpose of the project is to provide second hand sports equipment at a reduced cost to those who need it. AKtive have been contracted to deliver this project.

 

The Us Girls project seeks to develop a holistic Auckland-wide approach to ‘growing and retaining’ young girls in sport and recreation via formal and informal opportunities. This project has a number of projects and is due to launch this year.

The aim of the Sport Beyond School Project is to retain school leavers in sport and recreation by creating a viable and sustainable pathway through tertiary institutions through:

·    Improving and increasing the participation pathways for school leavers

·    Increasing opportunities for students to participate in sport and recreation at tertiary institutions, based on their identified needs.

·    Improving the quality of students experience in sport and recreation at tertiary institutions   

·    Improving the awareness and accessibility of sport and recreation opportunities beyond school for 16-20 year olds.

·    This project is in its final year and delivering a number of sport and recreation opportunities including Play Now (equipment in parks) and UniM8s (social sport for both secondary school and Uni students)

 

Next Steps:

 

Jo will report to YAP in August to request a new Youth Advisory Panel Member to join the steering team and work with the Auckland is my Playground team.
