TERMS
OF REFERENCE
(Excerpt
– full
terms of reference available as a separate document)
The terms of
reference set out the purpose, role and protocols of the Panel. Panel members
abide by the Code of Conduct for members of Auckland Council advisory panels.
Purpose
As one of
council’s engagement mechanisms with diverse communities, the demographic
advisory panels provide advice to the governing body and council staff within
the remit of the Auckland Plan on the following areas:
·
Auckland Council’s regional
policies, plans and strategies
·
regional and strategic matters
including those that Council-Controlled Organisations deal with any matter of
particular interest or concern to diverse communities.
Outcomes
The
panel’s advice will contribute to improving the outcomes of diverse
communities and social cohesion as set out in the Auckland Plan. The panel will
advise through their agreed strategic agenda and detailed work programme.
Strategic
agenda and work programme
The panel
must develop a work programme and set a strategic agenda for the term. The
agendas should be focused and integrated across the panels for collaborative
input into shared agendas, particularly on the Auckland Plan, the Long-term
Plan and annual plans. The panel should advise on council’s
organisational strategies relevant to diverse communities.
The governing
body and council staff should work with the panel for the development of their
strategic agendas and work programme. An appropriate committee will approve the
panel’s work programme and any subsequent major changes to it.
Submissions
The panel
must not make formal submissions to Auckland Council on council strategies,
policies and plans, for example, the annual plan.
In its
advisory role to the council, the panel may have input to submissions made by
the council to external organisations but do not make independent submissions,
except as agreed with the council.
This does
not prevent individual members being party to submissions outside their role as
panel members.
Review
The form and
functioning of the panels may be reviewed prior to or after, the end of the
panel’s term in September 2019.

Memo 18th
June 2018
To: Advisory
Panel Members
cc: Austin
Kim
From: Citizen
and Customer Engagement
Subject: Feedback
on 10-year Budget and Auckland Plan consultation
Thank you
Thanks for providing elected members with the
views of your community on the future of Auckland and the transport plans in
March and May. Thank you also for encouraging your communities to submit their
feedback across a range of channels. Your input has been invaluable.
Your support was generally strong for the
proposals in the plans and we acknowledge that some suggestions/requests were
made for consideration. We are unable to respond to those
specifically but below we have outlined some of the overall results and the
status of the two main plans.
The Results
A total of 26,556 written submissions were
received, through the online forms, Peoples Panel, hard copy forms and other
methods. Ten percent of the submissions (where ethnicity was identified) were
from Māori, 7% Pacific and 19% Asian – indicating success in
reaching some of our diverse communities.
The final report of results is attached.
The Plans
As you know, there were two major plans we
asked for help with this year:
The 10-year Budget which sets the
priorities for the next decade and how we pay for them
The Auckland Plan which is about long-term
issues and the Auckland that we want over the next 30 years.
The 10-year Budget
In the consultation on our budget, we asked
for feedback on how the budget funds transport, water quality and the
environment, as well as how we planned to approach rates for the next 10 years.
On 31
May council agreed to the following items for the
10-year Budget:
· The introduction
of a Regional Fuel Tax, enabling the largest ever
council transport investment of $12 billion over the next 10 years (including
$4.3 billion from leveraging the Regional Fuel Tax). Read the RFT
report for more information
· Cleaning up Auckland’s waterways and beaches with new
investment of $452 million in stormwater infrastructure through a water quality
targeted rate
· Protecting Kauri and our native flora and fauna with an additional
$311 million from a natural environment targeted rate to fund pest and disease
control
· Adapting to Climate Change and protecting communities with the
establishment of a $40 million Climate Change Response Fund and an additional
$90 million for coastal asset management
· Investing in sports and culture by establishing a contestable fund
of $120 million for sports and recreation facilities and an additional $20
million funding for the Auckland Art Gallery
· Delivering improved social outcomes by creating the Western
Initiative with $5 million to increase employment and life skills for young
Aucklanders
· average general rate rise of 2.5 per cent for the next two years and
3.5 per cent for the remaining eight years of the budget
· To amend the rating treatment of the online accommodation sector so
that business rates and the accommodation provider targeted rate so it also
applies to properties rented using web-based accommodation services.
Find out more about these items and other
content in the committee
reports and minutes.
These decisions and the budget will now be
reflected in the final 10-year Budget document which will be audited and then
adopted by the council on 28 June.
Auckland Transport will also make its final
decisions around its 10-year plan for transport in Auckland after considering
public feedback on the draft
Regional Land Transport Plan.
You will be able to find out more about
these decisions
and read the final budget online or hard copies
found in Libraries, Service Centres and Local Board Offices in July.
The Auckland Plan 2050
A separate document for the Advisory Panels is currently
being prepared on the Auckland Plan which will focus solely on this plan.
Thanks again everyone – your feedback
played a big part in deciding our future!

Review and update of Low Carbon Auckland
through delivery of an Auckland Climate Action Plan
File No.: CP2018/11425
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To
seek input from the Disability Advisory Panel into the development of an
Auckland Climate Action Plan, addressing both mitigation (emissions reduction)
and preparing for the impacts of climate change (adaptation).
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. In
February 2018, the Environment and Community Committee committed Council to
leading the development of an integrated climate change action plan, addressing
both the rising emissions in the region and the impacts of our changing climate
(ENV/2018/11, Attachment A). Development of the plan is being facilitated by
Auckland Council, working with public, private and voluntary sectors and
drawing in expertise as appropriate.
3. The
integrated climate action plan will build on learning from Low Carbon Auckland:
Auckland’s Energy Resilience and Low Carbon Action Plan (see Attachment B
for the most recent update report for the action plan) but will also look to
deliver a major step change to address new and emerging national and
international priorities (e.g. the Paris Agreement, recommendations of New Zealand’s
Climate Adaptation Technical Working Group and New Zealand government’s
intention to set a target of net zero emissions by 2050).
4. The
plan will also build on new evidence to inform decision making, such as the
NIWA climate projections report for Auckland (Attachment C) and our updated
greenhouse gas emissions inventory, both released late last year (see
Attachment B).
5. The
impacts of climate change (and associated policies) will affect different
sectors, demographics and geographies in different ways. It is therefore
essential that insights from the Council’s Advisory Panels are informing
the plan from its inception stage.
6. Council,
through the Chief Sustainability Office are currently early in the process of
development of the Auckland Climate Action Plan, building evidence to underpin
action development. Engaging with the Council’s Advisory Panels one
of the first steps in understanding priorities at a demographic and sector
level to ensure that these are considered throughout.
7. The
Chief Sustainability Office will provide the Advisory Panel with an update on
key inputs for the Auckland Climate Action Plan, such as the NIWA climate
projections report for Auckland (Attachment C) as well as increasing drivers
for action locally, nationally and internationally.
8. The
Advisory Panel’s thoughts will also be sought on the following key
questions:
· Which
climate risks and vulnerabilities have been noticed / are of most concern to
you and your communities?
· What
needs to change to deliver a low carbon, resilient Auckland?
· What
are your communities’ future priorities in relation to climate change?
· What
is the best way to engage with Auckland’s disabilities and affiliated
communities on the Auckland Climate Action Plan?
· How
does the Advisory Panel want to be kept updated?
|
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s
That the Disability Advisory
Panel:
a) receive
the presentation on the Auckland Climate Action Plan.

Kia Whai Tatou Katoa: Regional,
cross-sectoral homelessness plan for Auckland
File No.: CP2018/11669
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To provide background
information to inform the discussion with the Disability Advisory Panel on the
development of the regional, cross-sectoral homelessness plan.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
2. Auckland
Council’s agreed definition of homelessness includes people living
without shelter (e.g. rough sleeping or in cars), in temporary accommodation
(e.g. emergency and transitional accommodation), sharing temporarily (e.g.
couch surfing) and in uninhabitable dwellings (e.g. garages).
3. In 2017 Auckland
Council agreed their position that homelessness should be “rare, brief
and non-recurring”, and that their role should be to strengthen levers to
“improve, end and prevent” homelessness. This included leading the
development of a regional, cross-sectoral plan (ENV/2017/118).
4. Development of the plan
involved collaboration with central government agencies, non-government
agencies, philanthropics and other key groups. Research with people at risk and
with lived experience of homelessness is underway. It also involved engagement
with local boards and advisory panels representing communities who are affected
by homelessness.
5. During the meetings
with panels, views will be sought on the experience of homelessness, the
causes, and how the plan can address the needs of these communities.
6. Three
workshops with a broader group of stakeholders are planned for August 2018.
These workshops will focus on building consensus around the plan and developing
the annual action plan. Further engagement will also be undertaken with a range
of forums and networks, including Auckland Council advisory panels.
|
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s
That the Disability Advisory
Panel:
a) provide
feedback on the development of the regional, cross sectoral homelessness plan
at the July 2018 meeting.
b) nominate
a representative to attend the August engagement events to provide a
population specific voice.

Disability Advisory Panel's approach to
community engagement
File No.: CP2018/11474
Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report
1. To
provide an update on the Disability Advisory Panel’s approach to
community forums.
Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary
Background
2. On
5 April 2018, the Disability Advisory Panel agreed to hold five community
forums in each of the sub-regional areas including North Shore, Waitakere,
Auckland Central, South and East Auckland.
3. The
panel agreed to the proposed format, which is a World Café Method with
between 20-30 participants at each forum for robust discussions.
4. A
working group consisting of four panel members – Gemma Stewart, Rachel
Peterson, Ursula Thynne, and Jade Farrar – has been formed to progress
implementing the forums.
Forum objectives and target
audience
5. The
forums aim to:
· create
a communications channel with Auckland’s disability communities, to
obtain their voices and ideas
· more
effectively engage with those disability communities who may not attend the panel
meetings in Town Hall
· increase
understanding of the Disability Advisory Panel’s role.
6. The
target audience would include:
· disability
group or agency representatives who want to know more about the council’s
work
· people
in the disability community who have not traditionally engaged with the council
· relevant
council staff who would learn from the disability communities’
discussion.
Forum schedules
7. The
panel is considering the following dates and venues. Dates are tentative and
will be discussed at the July meeting:
|
Thursday 9 August 2018
|
Albany (North Shore)
|
|
Thursday 11 October 2018
|
Henderson (West)
|
|
Thursday 6 December 2018
|
Central
|
|
Thursday 7 March 2019
|
Manukau (South)
|
|
Thursday 9 May 2019
|
Howick (East)
|
8. At
the panel’s closed May workshop, it was suggested that the panel connect
with a disability agency in Albany to form a partnership and co-host the first
workshop. Albany has been listed as the first workshop area.
9. The
forums are scheduled one week after the panel’s monthly workshops. This
is to give the panel time to finalise their approach to each forum. However, if
this approach places too much demand on the panel’s time, members may
choose to replace every second monthly workshop with a community forum, from
August 2018. The panel would therefore hold a community forum once every two
months, and a closed panel workshop every other month.
Forum topics
10. The panel may
discuss any Auckland Council-based item. Topics may include key issues that the
panel has previously advised the council on, including accessible housing,
public transport, or community services.
11. Alternatively,
the panel can choose a topic for each forum which may be specific to a
particular disability community, for example, Mental Health Awareness week.
12. At the end of
each forum, the panel will make recommendations based on the discussions to
both the liaison councillors and relevant local board members.
|
Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s
That the Disability Advisory
Panel:
a) agree
a timeframe and topics for discussion at its community forums.
