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.

Auckland's Water Future consultation

File No.: CP2019/04125

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1. To inform the Youth Advisory Panel about Auckland’s Water Future, a discussion document that will inform future policy regarding water management in Tāmaki Makaurau.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

Background

2. Water is a precious resource and requires a holistic management approach. A holistic approach means we consider water in all its forms, including rain water, streams, rivers and coasts, water for supply to businesses and households and water waste.

3. Auckland Council is creating a Water Strategy that looks across the full range of water issues in our region, so that we're prepared when we need to make big, potentially difficult decisions about how we manage water in the coming years.

4. The water strategy will direct how the council will:

· Take care of our natural waterbodies – streams, rivers, lakes and harbours

· Meet daily water needs as our population grows

· Look after our waters while managing growth and development

· Prepare for the impacts of climate change.

Discussion questions

· What do youth in Tāmaki Makaurau value most about water?

· How concerned are youth about our water issues?

· What do youth in Tāmaki Makaurau think is important for the council to be doing for the future of Auckland’s water?

Consideration

5. The council released the discussion document Our Water Future on 17 February 2019. Our Water Future lays out the vision, values, the big issues facing Auckland in relation to water management and the principles and processes to support effective management. A summary of the document is attached to this report.

6. Feedback on the document is open until 19 April 2019. Panel members are encouraged to have their say and to discuss the document and participation in the conversation within their own communities.
