Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. The
Avondale Library and Community Centre and urban renewal report was considered
by the Whau Local Board on Wednesday 13 December 2018, as a confidential item,
approving the preferred location for the new integrated Avondale library and
community centre.
3. On
13 December 2018 in the Open Agenda, the board resolved (Resolution number
WH/2018/1) as follows:
That the Whau Local Board:
c) approve
that the resolutions, report and attachments remain confidential until public
communication has been released in line with the communication and engagement
plan.
d) approve
that the financial implication section remains confidential until all sale and
purchase transactions are complete.
4. A
number of parties were to be directly affected by the decision made and staff
were obliged to make contact prior to the information being made publicly
available. This has occurred.
5. The
report still contains sensitive information relating to the financial
implication and the proposed acquisition and/or sale of land and this
information has been redacted and will remain confidential in accordance with
the original reasons for confidentiality as outlined below.
|
Reason:
|
The public
conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the
disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under
section 7.
|
|
Interests:
|
s7(2)(i) -
The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority
to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including
commercial and industrial negotiations).
In particular,
the report contains information that may prejudice the council's ability to
negotiate property acquisitions or other procurement relating to the proposed
development.
|
|
Grounds:
|
s48(1)(a)
The public
conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the
disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under
section 7.
|
6. The
project is of high community interest and the local board has confirmed its
desire to release the report and associated minutes. The original report
authors and authorisers have reviewed this request and confirm that there is no
reason to withhold the bulk of the information from the public, hence the
report (redacted in parts for reasons outlined in paragraph 5) and minutes are
presented to be attached to the Minutes of the 27 February 2019 business
meeting.
