Te Ākitai Waiohua – Wiri Lava Cave Scientific Reserve

 

File No.: CP2018/07406

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To provide a high-level outline of matters relating to the Crown’s proposed Treaty settlement redress for Te Ākitai Waiohua that will be presented to the Governing Body in the confidential agenda.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       The Crown is seeking the views of Auckland Council on proposed Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi settlement redress for Te Ākitai Waiohua over Crown land vested in or controlled and managed by Auckland Council. The Treaty settlement process is designed to resolve historical grievances against the Crown and, in doing so, provide redress to claimant groups.

3.       Te Ākitai Waiohua signed an Agreement in Principle with the Crown on 13 December 2016 and is presently completing negotiations with the Crown to sign a deed of settlement.  The Agreement in Principle sets out reserve lands the Crown proposes to provide Te Ākitai Waiohua as Treaty settlement redress.  One of those sites is the Crown-owned Wiri Lava Cave Scientific Reserve, which is proposed to transfer to Te Ākitai Waiohua, with reserve status intact and administration by the Tūpuna Maunga o Tāmaki Makaurau Authority.

4.       Details of the Te Ākitai Waiohua settlement are currently subject to the confidentiality afforded Treaty settlement negotiations.  Auckland Council’s views are sought by the Crown on the understanding that confidentiality is respected.

5.       In the confidential section of today’s Governing Body agenda, further detail on the proposed redress and the reasons for it will be provided. The recommendation is that council supports the proposed redress.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Governing Body:

a)      note the confidential report on this meeting agenda, providing information and recommendations regarding the Crown’s proposed Treaty settlement redress for Te Ākitai Waiohua involving the Crown-owned Wiri Lava Cave Scientific Reserve

b)      note the confidential report contains information provided by the Crown to council in confidence on the understanding the information is negotiation sensitive between hapū/iwi and the Crown – if confidential information is made available, it will prejudice both those negotiations and the provision of similar information to council in the future.

Appointment to the Youth Advisory Panel

 

File No.: CP2018/14531

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.       To note the process for appointing a new member to the Youth Advisory Panel following a resignation.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.       In July 2018 a Youth Advisory Panel member from the Henderson-Massey local board area resigned due to personal circumstances.

3.       Following the resignation, the council began an appointment process to fill the vacant position.

4.          The candidate who scored the second highest from that local board area during the 2017 selection process was offered, and has accepted, a seat on the Youth Advisory Panel until September 2019 as per the Demographic Advisory Panels’ Terms of Reference (Attachment A).

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Governing Body:

a)      note the process for appointing a new member to the Youth Advisory Panel

b)      note that the confidential report presents the proposed candidate’s profile in detail.

 

 

Horopaki / Context

5.       On 10 November 2016, the Governing Body established a Youth Advisory Panel with 21 members, one from each of the 21 Auckland local board areas, for the 2016-2019 term of the council (GB/2016/51). On 25 May 2017, the mayor appointed 21 members, with the Governing Body’s endorsement. 

6.       The Youth Advisory Panel’s role is to offer young people’s views on Auckland Council’s regional and strategic agendas and to advise on the council’s effective engagement with youth. 

7.       In July 2018, Youth Advisory Panel member Tremayne Reid, from the Henderson-Massey local board area, resigned due to changes to his personal circumstances.

8.       Following his resignation, the council began an appointment process to fill in the vacant position.

Tātaritanga me ngā tohutohu / Analysis and advice

9.       The Demographic Advisory Panels’ Terms of Reference state that ‘the council will appoint the next highly ranked candidates in the selection process should any appointed members decline the appointment offer or decide to leave the panel.’ The terms of reference are attached as Attachment A. 

10.     The candidate who scored the second highest from the Henderson-Massey local board area during the 2017 selection process has been offered a seat on the Youth Advisory Panel until September 2019.

11.     The candidate accepted the offer and staff will undertake the necessary Ministry of Justice criminal record checks.

Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe /
Local impacts and local board views

12.     The Henderson-Massey Local Board expects the Youth Advisory Panel to strengthen its ties with local youth.

Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori / Māori impact statement

13.     The Youth Advisory Panel has been guided by ‘I Am Auckland: the Children and Young People's Strategic Action Plan’. Goal seven of this plan is rangatahi tū rangatira (all Rangatahi will thrive).

14.     In 2017, rangatahi participated in the selection process to share their views and voices on the make-up of the Youth Advisory Panel. The criteria for the selection process included an understanding of the Treaty of Waitangi as one of the key desired competencies.

15.     Three Youth Advisory Panel members currently identify themselves as Māori or of Māori descent. Neither the outgoing member nor the proposed candidate is of Māori descent.

Ngā ritenga ā-pūtea / Financial implications

16.     The expenses related to the appointment process are minimal and have been met from existing budgets. 

Ngā raru tūpono / Risks

17.     The proposed candidate is undergoing a criminal history check. Should the candidate have any previous criminal record, the council may cancel his/her appointment to the panel.

Ngā koringa ā-muri / Next steps

18.     A confidential report with the profile of the proposed candidate is on this Governing Body agenda. The report will remain confidential until the Governing Body endorses the appointment to the Youth Advisory Panel and the Ministry of Justice confirms the clearance of the proposed candidate for criminal record checks.

Accelerating housing delivery in Wainui

 

File No.: CP2018/15121

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo / Purpose of the report

1.         To seek approval and delegation to progress commercial arrangements to accelerate housing delivery in Wainui.

Whakarāpopototanga matua / Executive summary

2.         Wainui, located in Auckland’s North near Silverdale, is a key housing priority area but infrastructure funding constraints have been a barrier to accelerating housing delivery.

3.         Approval is sought for a commercial proposal to accelerate housing delivery in Wainui while limiting council’s investment to what is already budgeted for in the council’s 10-year Budget 2018-2028.

4.         This commercial proposal is aligned to the council’s previously agreed development plans and strategies for Wainui, while carefully managing any risk. 

5.         A delegation to the chief executive is also sought to negotiate and execute the necessary commercial agreements.

 

Ngā tūtohunga / Recommendation/s

That the Governing Body:

a)      note the confidential report on this meeting agenda, seeking approval and delegation to progress commercial arrangements to accelerate housing delivery in Wainui.

b)      note the confidential report contains information which if made available would likely unreasonably prejudice the commercial position of the person that provided, and is the subject of, that information. It is also necessary to withhold this information to enable the council to complete commercial negotiations in relation to Wainui without prejudice or disadvantage.
