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 Advisory Panel - Self-review

 

File No.: CP2016/16390

 

  

Purpose

1.       To provide an opportunity for the Youth Advisory Panel to reflect on the panel’s achievements, challenges and learnings from this term.

2.       To delegate authority to the chair and deputy chair to present to the Governing Body on this topic.

Executive summary

3.       Auckland Council’s advisory panels are one of council’s mechanisms to engage with diverse communities. Advisory panels ensure that the views and needs of diverse communities in Auckland are incorporated in council’s decision-making, by:

·    reviewing and commenting on the content of the council’s strategies, policies, plans, bylaws and projects

·    advising the council on ways to communicate and engage effectively with their communities

·    bringing to the attention of the council any matters that they consider to be of particular importance for, or concern to, their communities.

4.       The Youth Advisory Panel is one of the six Auckland Council demographic advisory panels which were established in the 2013-2016 term. The term of all panels end in September 2016.

5.       All panels are subject to review and establishment by the new mayor and governing body in October 2016. To inform this decision making Auckland Council has undertaken a review of the effectiveness of the panels over the term.  Panel members and staff have participated in this review and provided feedback on the panels form and function. In addition, the Youth Advisory Panel has been asked to mark the end of the panel’s term, and update the Governing Body on the panel’s work and achievements in September 2016.

6.       It is proposed that part of this final Youth Advisory Panel meeting is dedicated to a self-review to summarise the achievements, challenges and learnings so that they can be recorded. With input from the deputy chair, staff from the Arts, Community and Events team have designed a workshop session to help with this, and they will be present to facilitate the workshop.

7.       This report is a procedural report to allow for resolutions following the workshop. Key themes from the workshop will be captured, and the chair and deputy chair are to be delegated the authority to present on behalf of the Youth Advisory Panel at the Governing Body meeting on Thursday 29 September 2016.

 

Recommendations

That the Youth Advisory Panel:

a)      note the key themes from the Youth Advisory Panel’s self-review.    

b)      delegate authority to the chair and deputy chair of the Youth Advisory Panel to speak on behalf of the panel at the Governing Body meeting on Thursday 29 September 2016.
