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.

File No.: CP2019/02717
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To present upcoming consultation on Auckland Council’s draft plan for sport investment - Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039.

3. A supporting memo to demographic advisory panels is also attached (Attachment B).
Background
4. Auckland is experiencing rapid population growth and social change. Our diverse communities have different preferences and requirements for sport and recreation activities.
5. The draft Increasing Aucklanders’ Participation in Sport: Investment Plan 2019-2039 is the council’s response to these changes. It sets out a new approach to regional investment in sports facilities, programmes and services for Aucklanders over the next 20 years.
6. The plan will:
· target communities of greatest need and address disparities
· deliver a broad range of programmes, services and facilities that respond to the diverse needs of Auckland’s communities
· address population growth and changing sport preferences through regular assessments of, and changes to, programmes, services and facilities.
Consideration
7. The draft plan is based on research and feedback received from advisory panels, sports sector organisations, local boards and the public. Common themes emerging from advisory panels’ feedback have been incorporated in the plan, in particular:
· equity-based investment targeting communities and demographic groups with the greatest need
· developing multi-sport hubs rather than single-sport facilities
· ensuring return on investment
· encouraging growing cultural sports
· using outcomes such as health, wellbeing and sustainability as measures of success.
8. During this consultation, staff will invite the panels to formally indicate their support for the draft plan and provide feedback on a list of consultation questions (see Attachment).
9. To assist the implementation of the plan, staff will also seek information on particular community groups to understand their needs. The questions include:
· what are the key barriers for participation for the community group you are representing?
· what facilities/programmes do they need to increase participation?
10. Staff will present the draft plan and invite demographic advisory panels to formally indicate their support for the draft plan and provide feedback on the following consultation questions:
· Does the panel have any questions about the plan?
· Will the panel assist with the consultation process by sharing this information with their wider communities and encouraging submissions to Shape Auckland?
· Does the panel support the plan?
Next steps
11. The indicative public consultation timeline is outlined in Table 1 below.
12. During the meetings, staff will invite the panels to formally indicate their support for the draft plan and provide feedback on a list of consultation questions (see Attachment).
13. To assist the implementation of the plan, staff will also seek information on particular community groups to understand their needs. The questions include:
· what are the key barriers for participation for the community group you are representing?
· what facilities/programmes do they need to increase participation?
14. Feedback from the advisory panels will be summarised, alongside other feedback received during the consultation, for consideration of the Environment and Community Committee in June 2019.
