Consideration
Local
Board views and implications
6. All local board
chairs are invited to attend the Auckland Development Committee meeting.
Māori
impact statement
7. The PAUP is of considerable
interest to Auckland’s Mana Whenua. A number of the topics that will be
presented to the committee at the Auckland Development Committee information
meetings between April and July 2016 are of high interest to Mana Whenua, and
indeed the wider Māori community. However, as the council will not be
making any decisions at the information meetings, the report itself does not
have any impact on Māori.
