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
Review
The form and functioning of the Panel may be reviewed prior
to or after, the end of the Panel term in September 2016.

Youth Voice Transition Project Update
File No.: CP2016/12471
Purpose
1. To update the
Youth Advisory Panel on the Youth Voice Transition Project.
Executive
summary
2. In October 2015, the Community Empowerment Unit was
established. As a result a Youth Voice Transition Team was appointed to
align future youth voice group operating models to the Empowered Communities
Approach.
3. From October 2015 to July 2016, the Youth Voice Transition
Team engaged with youth to co-design potential future concepts (ideas) and
operating models. The Youth Voice Transition Project consists of three
phases:
· Phase
1: Exploration
· Phase
2: Broader approach
· Phase
3: Identifying operating models.
4. Five youth-designed
concepts and three options for youth-voice
operating models were developed and socialised with youth and
local board members.
5. In July 2016, local boards will decide on which
youth voice operating model works best for them.
|
Recommendation
That the Youth Advisory Panel:
a) receive the update report on
the youth voice transition project.
|
Comments
6. The Youth Voice Transition
Project seeks to align future operating models to the Empowered Communities
Approach and was undertaken in three phases as outlined below:
|
Phase 1
|
Exploration phase with youth
voice groups and local board members. This phase involved analysis of the
motivations and barriers to youth participation and engagement with local
government.
|
|
Phase 2
|
Built on the work of phase one
and considered a broader approach to youth participation and engagement.
This phase involved the development of youth-designed concepts to address the
needs of youth voice groups. Concepts are ideas generated to address
specific needs.
|
|
Phase 3
|
Identifying potential
operating models to enable better youth participation and engagement with
local government. Three options are currently being presented to local
boards.
|
Background
7. Prior
to the establishment of Auckland Council, a range of youth voice groups existed
in parts of north and west Auckland, Pukekohe and Papakura. ‘Youth voice
groups’ is the term used to refer to the variations
of youth voice models that include youth councils and youth caucuses affiliated
to local boards. Many of these groups continue to exist in some form.
8. In
2012, youth voice groups were established in most local board areas to
facilitate youth participation in decision-making at the local level.
9. A
representative from each local youth voice group is a member of the YAP. The YAP provides advice to Auckland Council to ensure that the views and needs of the young people of Auckland are included in council’s
decision-making.
10. Prior
to the establishment of the Community Empowerment Unit, the majority of youth
voice groups were supported by the Community Development and Safety Unit.
11. The
Community Empowerment Unit established a Youth Voice Transition Team to
facilitate the transition of local youth voice groups
to a more youth empowered model of operation that aligns to the Empowered
Communities Approach.
Phase one (October 2015 - December 2015)
12. Exploration of motivations and
barriers to youth participation and engagement in local government with youth
voice groups and local board members. Co-designed with the
YAP Empowered Communities Approach Working Party and Community Empowerment Unit
staff.
Phase two (February 2016 - April 2016)
13. This phase built on the work of
phase one and considered a broader approach to youth engagement.
14. Insights
from phase one were consolidated and the identified areas of need were:
· recruitment
and development within youth voice groups
· the
role of youth voice groups in local government
· connecting
and networking with other youth and within communities
· logistics
and support to maintain youth voice groups
· enabling
youth development.
15. In
April 2016, young people (not affiliated with youth voice groups), youth voice
groups and local board members explored the needs further. In response, forty
concepts were designed and refined to five concepts as outlined below:
|
Concept
|
Description
|
|
Crowdsourcing for Youth Voice
|
Utilising crowdsourcing
technology to enable more diverse youth engagement and representation
|
|
Partnership
agreement with local boards
|
A formalised relationship
agreement with a local board, clearly defining roles and responsibilities
|
|
Youth-led networks
|
Networks of youth across Auckland to enable connections
and capacity building
|
|
Resource
Kete
|
A centralised platform to access and share youth resources
|
|
‘Tuakana Teina’ Peer
Mentoring programme
|
A formalised programme of
induction and ongoing support to new youth voice group members by existing
experienced youth voice group members
|
16. On 30 April 2016, the concepts
were tested with young people at the YAP regional youth summit. Feedback on the
concepts was very positive. One young person said, “The youth scored the
concepts highly because they could see their ideas had been incorporated”.
17. The concepts will be implemented
through the operating models as determined in phase three.
Phase Three (May 2016 - June
2016)
18. Options for youth-voice operating
models are being presented to local boards for consideration. The options are
outlined below:
|
Option
|
Description
|
|
Operating model option 1:
Contract an anchor organisation
|
To provide the necessary
logistical support and mentoring to youth voice groups for activities
including meetings, events and projects. The organisation will be required to
support the youth voice group to implement the concepts at a local level.
|
|
Operating model option 2: Contract a ‘youth connector’
|
To provide the necessary logistical support and mentoring
for youth voice group for activities including meetings, events and projects.
The youth connector will be required to support the youth voice group to
implement the concepts at a local level.
|
|
Operating model option 3: Support an integrated
approach to youth participation
|
To provide an opportunity for local
boards to engage with young people about the wide range of services,
programmes and projects the board is delivering in their communities. This will involve shifting youth engagement
from a youth voice group approach to more targeted youth engagement
across local board and council work programmes.
|
19. Local Boards will determine their
preferred operating model by August 2016.
Consideration
Local
board views and implications
20. Youth voice is a priority for
many local boards. There have been challenges in ensuring the continuity of
service to local youth voice groups as a result of the transition. This has
created tensions in some local board areas. It is intended that the three
proposed options for future operating models will address these tensions.
21. In December 2015 and April 2016,
four geographic cluster workshops were held across the region. These workshops
were facilitated by the Youth Voice Transition Team and were attended by local
youth, youth voice group members and local board members.
22. Local board members have been
updated at various stages throughout the project; this has included individual
workshops in phase three of the project.
Māori
impact statement
23. The successful implementation of
the Empowered Communities Approach will ensure that Māori rangatahi will
have increased opportunities to engage meaningfully in matters of importance to
them.
24. This process was guided by ‘I am Auckland’,
Auckland Council’s Strategic Action Plan for Children and Young People, of
which goal seven is ‘Rangatahi tū rangatira – All rangatahi will thrive’.
25. The youth voice transition team
are in the process of confirming a workshop with Rangatahi Roopu (a Māori
youth group currently engaging with YAP) with the support of Te Waka Angamua.
Implementation
26. Implementation of the three
operating models will be determined by each local board which will support the
implementation of the five youth-designed concepts.

whanau-centred sports competition.
|
Recommendation
That the Youth Advisory Panel:

update on community safety activity undertaken by the Community Empowerment
Unit.
|
Comments
4. The Auckland
Plan outcome of ‘a fair, safe and healthy Auckland’ provides the strategic
direction for the Community Empowerment Unit to support the delivery of
community safety activities to prevent crime and injury.
5. The key
achievements mentioned in this report have alignment with the Youth Advisory
Panel’s work programme line of Hauora Tāmaki Makaurau, specifically within the public health response to
alcohol and other drug related harm.
6. The community
safety activities reported in this update have been developed by the CAYAD team
and feature the following initiatives: youth at risk research, an online
story-telling campaign a methamphetamine-contaminated housing resource, a youth
workers forum and a whanau-centred sports competition to empower young people.
Knowing
Someone Cares
7. ‘Knowing
Someone Cares’ is a CAYAD research project that gives an insight into the
experiences of West Auckland young people at high risk of alcohol and other
drug related harm.
8. The
visual report, launched on 18 May 2016, alongside the story-telling campaign
‘BUZZED’, is being used to inspire thinking and empathy as well as support
ongoing conversations for positive change so young people can help themselves
and others to achieve their full potential.
9. The
report has been disseminated online and through stakeholder groups. A full
report on the ‘Knowing Someone Cares’ work will be included on the 3 August
2016 Community Development and Safety Committee agenda.
BUZZED
10. ‘BUZZED’
is a CAYAD online campaign focused on youth sharing their stories of alcohol or
other drug use.
11. The
purpose of the campaign is to increase discussion about the real harm of
alcohol and other drugs within New Zealand’s culture in order to ignite a
change in perceptions and behavior.
12. On
18 May 2016, ‘BUZZED’ was launched at an event in Central Auckland, with
well-known musician, Tiki Taane, and one of our young story-tellers sharing
their thoughts. The online campaign also features other well-known individuals
such as Marcus Powell (from music group Blindspott), Mike King, young people
and other community members.
13. This
project has had a positive impact on those who have told their stories, in
validating their decision to quit alcohol or other drugs, by providing
connections to others with similar experiences and allowing them to give
something back.
14. Over
time, more stories and themed videos will be released online. The hope is that
others will be inspired to share their stories and strategies for change.
Further information on BUZZED will also be included in a report for the next
committee meeting.
Methamphetamine
Contaminated Housing Resource
15. The
Auckland Regional Methamphetamine Working Group (ARMWG) has developed a
methamphetamine contaminated housing resource to support families whose
properties have tested positive for methamphetamine, and are forced to move
out.
16. This
resource provides families with information on emergency housing providers, key
contacts for health providers and their rights as tenants. This information has
been developed to particularly support those families that have limited money or
support networks in the Auckland area.
17. The
resource has been disseminated online and through stakeholder groups such as
Citizens Advice Bureau and the Salvation Army.
Youth Worker
Conference
18. The
Youth Worker Conference is an annual event that has been running for the past
three years. On average, these conferences have up to 100 youth workers in
attendance throughout the day.
19. This
year, Community Empowerment unit staff organised and hosted a conference on 31
May 2016 at Zeal, Henderson, with support from the Auckland Agencies for Youth.
20. The
purpose of the conference is to provide free professional development and
training to community based youth workers and people who work with young people
throughout Auckland.
Tāmaki
Touched
21. ‘Tāmaki Touched’ is the first
locality pilot of a nationwide initiative aiming to increase positive
engagement between police, social services and communities of high
deprivation through a whanau-centred sports competition.
22. Led via
a partnership between Ruapotaka Marae, the New Zealand Police and Touch NZ,
CAYAD has supported this project by:
· brokering relationships between local
stakeholders, including the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board, and the Tāmaki
Touched Steering Committee
· empowering local ownership through
the training and employment of residents to coordinate the
competition
· providing technical advice utilising
evidence-based best practice to achieve community safety outcomes.
23. The
immediate impact of ‘Tāmaki Touched’ has been:
· the employment of two local Glen Innes
residents
· the mobilisation and engagement of
over 180 people from a variety of ages who participated in a
healthy activity spanning six weeks
· positive relationships formed between
police and young offenders.
24. There
are plans to roll out this initiative in other communities across the
Auckland region, including Ranui and Takanini, then to extend the programme
into Christchurch and Northland.
Consideration
Local
Board views and implications
25. The Tāmaki Touched sports initiative
has been developed in partnership with the Maungakiekie-Tamaki Local Board and will
be shared in other locations within Auckland.
26. The other
community safety activities within this report have been funded by the Ministry
of Health.
Māori
impact statement
27. The ‘Having
Someone Who Cares’ research was conducted with at risk youth from West
Auckland; fifty percent of those that participated identified as Māori. ‘Tāmaki Touched’ was initiated by Ruapotaka Marae, Glen Innes,
to engage whanau to build support services whilst fostering hauora (wellbeing).
Implementation
28. The Community
Empowerment Unit staff are developing and implementing safety responses in line
with the Empowered Communities Approach.
29. The CAYAD
programme targets high needs communities and vulnerable youth within
alternative education and youth justice services.

Progress report on The Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan
File No.: CP2016/12972
Purpose
1. To receive an
update on the status and ongoing process of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan
(PAUP).
Executive
summary
2. Auckland
Council has developed and notified a Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan to replace
the former legacy councils’ seven district and four regional plans. The PAUP is
a key tool to implement the Auckland Plan and make Auckland the world’s most
livable city.
3. The Auckland
Unitary Plan was publically notified for submissions in 2013 and people had an
opportunity to make submissions and further submissions. Over 9,000 submissions
and 3,800 further submissions either supporting or opposing original
submissions were received.
4. The Independent
Hearings Panel (the Panel) was established by the Government to hear
submissions and provide recommendations to Council about changes the Panel
thinks should be made to the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. The Panel will
report its recommendations to Council on 22 July 2016.
5. Subject to
Council’s decision on the Panel’s recommendations, appeals to the Environment
Court may be made. If any appeals are received, Council will try to resolve
them and make the plan beyond challenge (settle all appeals). Council will then
be able to make ‘operative’ all or part of the plan. Making the plan operative
is the final step in the plan making process and is a significant milestone as
it will be the first unitary plan:
i) to be
developed under legislation which introduced a streamline plan-making process;
and
ii) it is the first Auckland Unitary
Plan that replaces legacy distract and regional plans.
|
Recommendation
That the Youth Advisory Panel:
a) receive the
progress update on the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan.
|
Comments
6. As a result of
the Auckland Council amalgamation in 2010, central government requires the
Council to produce a Unitary Plan. This combines what was within the former
councils’ seve district and four regional plans and was developed over a
relatively short legislative timeframe. The Unitary Plan is a key tool to
implement the Auckland Plan and make Auckland the world’s most liveable city.
It will provide one clear and consistent set of planning rules for the whole of
Auckland.
7. Under the
Resource Management Act, Council is required to address the following in a
Unitary Plan:
i) Set the basic direction for environmental
management in the region.
ii) Take an
Auckland-wide approach to manage particular parts of the environment, like the
coast, soil, a river or the air. They set out how discharges or activities
involving these resources will be managed to stop the resources being polluted.
iii) Set out rules to guide activities and development and
specify when a resource consent is needed to minimise effects on the
environment.
Draft Version
i) An early draft
of the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan using content from the previous council’s
plans (e.g. the Rodney Distract Plan), was launched for public feedback in
March 2013.
Notified
Version
i) The notified
version was publically notified for submissions from 30 September 2013 to 28
February 2014.
ii) People had an
opportunity to either support or oppose submitters' requests for changes by
making a further submission from 11 June to 22 July 2014.
iii) During the submission process public and stakeholder engagement
focused on informing and enabling participation. During the notification period
11 weeks of public consultation were held, consisting of over 250 events
including public meetings, open days, drop in sessions at libraries and information stands at public events
Overview of submissions
i) Over
9000 submissions were received during the notification period from businesses,
community groups and individuals. Submissions were received on all parts of the
Unitary Plan.
ii) Some
submissions included just one request, while others involved 100s or 1000s. A
total of more than 93,600 requests were received. In the further submission
period over 3800 further submissions either supporting or opposing original
submissions were received.
Hearings
i) Submissions
and evidence was heard by the Auckland Unitary Plan Independent Hearings Panel
(the Panel) from September 2014 to 13 May 2016.
Next
Steps
8. The Auckland
Unitary Plan Independent Hearings Panel was established by the Government to
hear submissions and provide recommendations to Council about changes the Panel
thinks should be made to the Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan. The Panel will
report its recommendations to Council on 22 July 2016.
9. Auckland
Council's Governing Body will consider the Panel's recommendations and decide
whether to accept or reject them. The Council must publicly notify its decision
by 19 August 2016.
10. Subject to
Council’s decision on the Panel’s recommendations appeals to the Environment
Court may be made. If any appeals are received, Council will try to resolve
them and make the plan beyond challenge (settle all appeals). Council will then
be able to make ‘operative’ all or part of the Unitary Plan (excluding the
coastal provisions of the Unitary Plan which is subject to approval by the
Minister of Conservation) when the Unitary Plan is beyond challenge by appeal.
11. Making the
Proposed Auckland Unitary Plan operative is the final step in the plan making
process. It will be a significant milestone as it is:
i) The first plan
to be developed under Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions)
Amendment Act 2013 which introduced a streamlined plan-making process; and
ii) It is the
first Unitary Plan for Auckland and replaces existing legacy district and
regional plans.

Māori
impact statement
13. 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.

Youth Advisory Panel - Work Programme Update
File No.: CP2016/12549
Purpose
1. To receive an update on the
Youth Advisory Panel’s work programme.
Executive
Summary
2. The Youth
Advisory Panel provides advice to Auckland Council to ensure that the views and needs of young people of Auckland are
incorporated in council’s decision-making, by:
· reviewing and commenting on the content of
council’s strategies, policies, plans, bylaws and projects
· advising council on ways to communicate
and engage effectively with their communities.
· bringing to the attention of council any
matters that they consider to be of particular importance for or concern to
youth.
3. Since its
establishment in 2011, the Youth Advisory Panel has advised on more than 20
council policies including the Significance and Engagement Policy, Arts and
Culture Strategic Action Plan, Long-term Plan 2015-2025, and the 2016 Local
Government Elections.
4. The Youth
Advisory Panel organised a Youth Summit at Roskill Youth Zone on 30 April 2016.
More than 100 young people attended from 21 local youth voice groups to discuss
community empowerment and youth participation in the 2016 local government
elections.
5. The final
meeting of the Youth Advisory Panel is scheduled for 8 August 2016. The term
for all demographic panels ends in 9 September 2016, one month prior to the
2016 Local Government Elections.

Reference for the advisory panels states that “the form and functioning of the
panel may be reviewed prior to or after, the end of the panel term in September

term. The findings of the review will assist the incoming mayor in determining
the future form and functions of advisory panels.

Panel members have received a memo on the review process, including the
timeframe and scope of the review. Austin Kim, Principal Advisor Panels, will
discuss the details of the review, if necessary.
