·         Suggestions for speakers could be Flora (previous Youth Advisory Panel chair). Youth councils from across Auckland could be invited.

·         A theme could be rangatahi / I Am Auckland. This is likely to also come to a future Youth Advisory Panel meeting.

·         Youth Awards – could the forum tie in with summer public music events?

·         Panel agreed that action items with deadlines would be useful. Suggestion to incorporate discussion and new ideas from the meeting, and work up the new plan keeping in mind the budget which ends 30 June 2019, with a new budget available from 1 July 2019.

·         Members agreed to discuss and finalise the plans at the November meeting. All panel members agreed to share their views in between meetings with the community forum working group.
