TERMS OF REFERENCE

 

 

The Terms of Reference set out the purpose, role and protocols of the Panel. 

 

Panel members will also be expected to abide by the Code of Conduct for members of Auckland Council advisory panels.

 

 

Purpose

 

The purpose of the panels is to provide strategic advice to the Council on issues of significance to their communities and to advise on effective engagement by Council with those communities.

 

 

Outcomes

 

The Panel will provide advice through an agreed annual work programme, integrated wherever possible, with other panels and approved by the Regional Strategy and Policy Committee.

 

 

Annual work programme

 

The Council will advise the Panel of the areas of strategy, policy and plan development that are likely to require comment or advice from the Panel during the course of the year. The work programme should also provide scope for the Panel to respond to issues and concerns arising from its communities and to develop its own priorities.

 

As resources allow, budget is available for the Panel to support activities that clearly contribute to the agreed work programme but the Panel may not access external resources for activities or events, except with the agreement of Council

 

 

Submissions

 

Panel advice will contribute to Council decision-making, but panels will not make formal submissions on Council strategies, polices and plans, for example, the Long Term Plan.

In their advisory role to the Council, Panels may have input to submissions made by the Council to external organisations but do not make independent submissions, except as agreed with Council.

 

This does not prevent individual members being party to submissions outside their role as Panel members.

 

* The above information is a summary of the 2014 Terms of Reference document and is based on the Governing Body decisions of 19 December 2013

Purpose

1.       To seek the Panel’s advice on how to better engage with the Ethnic Community with participation in the World Masters Games 2017.

Executive Summary

2.       World Masters Games 2017 (WMG2017) will be held throughout the Auckland and Waikato regions between 21 and 30 April 2017. 25,000 athletes from over 100 different countries will compete in 28 sports, featuring 45 disciplines, across some 45 venues.

3.       The World Masters Games is the largest participant based, multi-sport event in the world. In terms of athlete numbers, it is bigger in scale than even the Olympics. The World Masters Games is a unique event that is underpinned by a sport-for-all philosophy. Governed by the International Masters Games Association, the event is held every four years and is open to sports people of all abilities, with the minimum age limit set by each sporting discipline. Toronto staged the first World Masters Games in 1985. Since then, World Masters Games have also taken place in Denmark (1989), Brisbane (1994), Portland, Oregon (1998), Melbourne (2002), Edmonton (2005), Sydney (2009) and Torino, Italy (2013).

4.       WMG2017 will offer the largest ever Para-Sport programme as part of a World Masters Games event. The following 11 Para-Sports will be available in the sports programme: Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Canoe, Cycling, Lawn Bowls, Rowing, Swimming, Table Tennis, Tennis and Triathlon. Events in each sport have been identified in conjunction with each sport delivery partner.

5.       Jennah Wootten, Chief Executive of World Masters Games 2017, will seek advice from the Panel on how to better engage with older people regarding participation in this event.

Sports Facilities Investment Plan and Golf Facilities Investment Plan - Discussion Documents

 

File No.: CP2016/05098

 

Purpose

1.       To provide copies of the discussion documents for the Sports Facilities Investment Plan and the Golf Facilities Investment Plan and seek feedback on these documents.

Executive Summary

Sports Facilities Investment Plan – Discussion Document

2.       One of the key functions of Auckland Council is to undertake long-term planning for the provision of services and facilities to meet the demands of a changing population.

3.       The attached Sports Facilities Investment Plan – Discussion Document has been prepared for engagement with stakeholders to explore investment possibilities and to develop a robust investment framework to inform future funding decisions.

4.       The key challenge addressed in the discussion document is to find a way to effectively respond to increasing demand for sports facilities over the next 20 years in the face of growing financial and land supply constraints. Delivering a return on investment in terms of physical activity, community and social as well as economic outcomes is also fundamental.

5.       At its 30 March meeting, the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel will be invited to share its views and experience on any access, supply and demand issues currently faced by various ethnic groups. Auckland Council would also like feedback on investment options to increase sport participation across ethnic groups.

6.       Initial feedback from the meeting will be recorded. Additional written feedback from the panel on the discussion document would be gratefully received. The feedback process closes on 21 April 2015.  All feedback received will be considered before drafting the Sports Facilities Investment Plan, which will set out Auckland Council’s investment framework and priorities for sports facilities.

Golf Facilities Investment Plan – Discussion Document

7.       A Golf Facilities Investment Plan – Discussion Document has also been prepared. Its primary focus is to review the performance of the council’s investment in golf against expectations. Auckland Council will use the discussion document to engage with stakeholders and to gain a detailed understanding of the performance of its investments.

8.       Auckland Council would like to hear the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel’s views and experience about golf facilities across Auckland and record any suggestions it has regarding council’s golf investment as it relates to various ethnic groups.

 

Recommendation/s

That the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel:

a)      provide initial feedback on the two discussion documents during the meeting, particularly regarding investment options to increase sport participation and suggestions for Auckland Council’s golf investment.

Feedback on the Draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Plan 2016-2021

 

File No.: CP2016/01867

 

Purpose

1.       To seek feedback from the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel as experts, and members of their community, on the Draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Plan 2016-2021.

Executive Summary

2.    Auckland Council is required under the Civil Defence and Emergency Management Act (2002) to develop and review the direction for civil defence and emergency activities within Auckland through a five yearly review of the Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan. The current CDEM Group Plan for Auckland is due to expire in June 2016.

3.    A draft Auckland Civil Defence and Emergency Management (CDEM) Group Plan 2016-2021 (draft Group Plan) has been developed for consultation (a copy is appended as Attachment A). The draft Group Plan is primarily centered on community empowerment and resilience across all environments (social, economic, environmental and infrastructure). 

4.    This report asks the panel to provide feedback on the draft Group Plan.

 

Recommendation

That the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel:

a)      provide feedback on the draft Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Plan 2016-2021.

Comments

5.    The Auckland CDEM Group is a statutory committee of Auckland Council as required under section 12 of the CDEM Act. The CDEM Group has overall responsibility for the provision of CDEM within Auckland. It comprises five elected members of the Auckland Council and a number of co-opted observers from CDEM agencies invited by the committee to attend.

6.    The CDEM Group has delegated authority to develop, approve, implement, and monitor the CDEM Group Plan. The purpose of the Group Plan is to enable the effective, efficient and coordinated delivery of CDEM across Auckland while building a resilient Auckland with our communities. All CDEM groups are required every five years to consult on the development of group plans under the CDEM Act (2002). The current Group Plan for Auckland expires at the end of 2016.

7.    The draft Group Plan has been developed as a framework for action which will form the basis for more detailed business planning and development of civil defence and emergency management work programmes. The key framework areas for consultation are:

·   Knowledge through education

·   Volunteer participation

·   Emergency Management planning

·   Business and organisational resilience

·   Strong partnerships

·   Response capability and capacity

·   Information and communications technologies

·   Build Back better

·   A safe city

·   Research

·   Building resilient communities

8.       Like the rest of the populace, all aspects of life for ethnic peoples are affected in an emergency. However we recognise that we need to consider appropriate forms of personal and community preparedness and public education, immediate emergency response capability, long term recovery planning for ethnic peoples, during and after an emergency in Auckland.

9.       It is noted that for some ethnic communities, there may be communication barriers during an emergency if English is not a first language, or the primary language of communication.  Receiving or accessing information may also be difficult for some people if they have limited access to media such as radio, television, or the internet.

10.     Feedback from the panel at a workshop prior to the development of the draft Group Plan focused on how to support international students, particularly as they were unlikely to have physical or familial connections in New Zealand. (This feedback was also provided by the Youth Advisory Panel). As ethnic communities are spread throughout Auckland, the panel noted the importance of planning at a neighbourhood, and location, level. The Youth Advisory Panel also suggested that educating community leaders, and in schools, would provide a mechanism for communicating the role of CDEM, and what to do in an emergency situation, to ethnic communities.

11.     Public consultation timelines on the draft Group Plan is from 15 February to 18 April 2016 with significant consultation as part of the Have your Say annual plan events. The final Group Plan is due to be formally adopted by the CDEM Committee in August 2016.

Consideration

Local Board views and implications

12.  Local board portfolio holders have been briefed on issues relevant to the draft Group Plan and, on their recommendation, workshops were held with 20 of the local boards in October 2015.  The results of these workshops helped formulate relevant sections of the draft Group Plan. 

13.  Local board views on the draft Group Plan will be sought in February and March 2016 through a report on their business meeting agendas. Subject to consultation, the Group Plan indicates a wider role for local boards in emergency management.

Māori impact statement

14.  Māori will have the opportunity to submit on the draft Group Plan during the statutory consultation phase.

15.  In addition, the CDEM department is developing a Māori Responsiveness Plan to support a more proactive approach to engaging iwi and mataawaka in emergency management planning.

Implementation

16.  The draft Group Plan is to be adopted by the CDEM Committee in August 2016.  The Group Plan is also provided to the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management for review.
