Review of Auckland Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019 elections

 

Resolution number UH/2018/45

MOVED by Member U Balouch, seconded by Deputy Chairperson M Miles:  

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

That the Upper Harbour Local Board:

a)      endorse the general approach to the review of Auckland Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019 elections, which is to make changes on an issue-by-issue basis and to not seek significant change.

b)      endorse the Joint Governance Working Party’s position on the following matters with respect to the review of Auckland Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019 elections:

i.        that all Governing Body members are to continue to be elected by ward as decided by the Governing Body

ii.       that the current number of members in each ward is retained

iii.      that the Upper Harbour Local Board support further consideration of the creation of subdivisions within the board area at the next review, as population growth in the western part of the local board area becomes more established.

iv.      that the Rodney ward’s non-complying variance (population per member) should be retained on the basis that compliance would result in splitting communities of interest, or joining disparate communities of interest (specifically Paremoremo).

c)      decline to comment on matters pertaining to other local board and ward boundaries and representation arrangements, as the board believes the affected local boards are best placed to comment.

d)      delegate authority to the chairperson to represent the board’s views on the review of Auckland Council’s representation arrangements for the 2019 elections, should the Joint Governance Working Party seek further engagement with and/or feedback from the board prior to reporting to the Governing Body with a proposal in July 2018, or during the consideration of submissions following public notification.
