(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.

Economic Development Action Plan 2021-24
File No.: CP2021/05937
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
inform the panel of the purpose, summary of actions, and feedback process on
the draft Economic Development Action Plan: Council’s role in
Auckland’s recovery 2021-24.
2. To
receive any information the panel may wish to share in relation to their
economic development priorities.
3. To
determine the panel’s preferred process for feedback on the draft Plan.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
4. A
memo was provided to all Demographic Advisory Panel Co-Chairs, 17 March 2021,
to inform advisory panel members of the development of council’s Economic
Development Action Plan 2021-24 and to outline the process for feedback.
· The purpose of council’s Economic Development Action Plan
(EDAP) is for the council and the substantive Council Controlled Organisations
(CCOs) to define and agree, for the next three years, the economic objectives
and priorities and to determine a coordinated course of action within the remit
of the council family.
· The draft Plan brings together economic development priorities and
aspirations previously consulted on in Auckland wide strategies, in particular,
the Auckland Plan 2050, Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland’s
Climate Plan and Kia Ora Tāmaki Makaurau: council’s Māori outcomes framework – with
the purpose of focusing effort over the next three years.
· There
is opportunity for feedback to the draft EDAP from May to 14 June 2021. Ethnic
Peoples Advisory Panel feedback will be considered in the final plan for
adoption on 8 July 2021.
Consideration
5. The
vision of the draft Plan is, “Auckland Council whānau’s
contribution to economic development enables a regenerative and inclusive
economy for the people and wellbeing of Tamaki Makaurau.”
6. The
actions in the draft Plan have been developed with our guiding principles of
‘transitioning to a regenerative and low carbon economy, supporting
economic opportunity for Māori, and responding to our communities of
greatest need.’
7. The
areas of focus (or themes) of the draft Plan are:
− Destination
Tāmaki Makaurau: Attracting people and investment.
− Local
Tāmaki Makaurau: Enabling thriving local economies.
− Skilled
Tāmaki Makaurau: Supporting quality jobs and skill development.
− Future
Tāmaki Makaurau: Preparing businesses for Auckland’s future.
− Enabled
Tāmaki Makaurau: Infrastructure enabling economic development.
− Enabled
Tāmaki Makaurau: Regulations that enable economic development.
8. Of
relevance to the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel is the ‘Skilled Tāmaki
Makaurau’ theme focused on providing opportunities to improve skills and
opportunities in employment and enterprise, particularly for our communities of
greatest need, and the ‘Local Tāmaki Makaurau’ that emphasises
support for local centres and businesses as a foundation for strong, thriving
and resilient local economies.
9. We
recognise the role of the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel in communicating the
interests and preferences of Auckland’s ethnic communities relating to
matters such as economic development. There is an opportunity for priority
areas in your strategic work programme to be considered for inclusion within
this plan, as they relate to economic development, and as they are able to be
addressed within the council family’s remit.
Next steps
10. The draft
Economic Development Action Plan 2021-24 will be presented to the Parks, Arts,
Community and Events committee on 13 May 2021, after which it will be
circulated to this panel.
11. The panel
should determine if it will provide feedback, and if so, its preferred process.
12. Any queries
or feedback on the draft Plan from this panel can be directed to our project
leads Janelle Breckell (Janelle.breckell@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz)
and/or James Robinson (James.Robinson@aucklandnz.com)

Finalising the Ethnic Peoples Advisory
Panel's strategic work programme
File No.: CP2021/05941
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
outline steps to finalise and agree the content of the Ethnic Peoples Advisory
Panel’s strategic work programme.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. All
advisory panels develop a strategic work programme for their term. These work programmes outline at a high level, the key priority areas the
panel wishes to focus on during this term, within the scope of the
panel’s role. Once panels have agreed their work programmes, they
are endorsed by Auckland Council’s Parks, Arts, Community and Events
(PACE) Committee.
3. The Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel’s role is to advise Council on
issues that are important to Ethnic communities in Auckland, and to assist
Council to engage effectively with this community.
4. The
Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel held a workshop in December 2020 to consider the
direction, focus and priorities for its strategic work programme. This was
discussed further at its workshop in March 2021.
5. Members
identified the following overarching themes: Support the economic and social
development of diverse communities in Auckland, grounding in honouring the
treaty and environmental sustainability with the following priority areas:
· Belonging
and participation- advocacy for anti-racism, and create safe opportunities for
people to meet, connect, participate in and enjoy community and civic life
· Opportunity
and prosperity – attract and retain skills, talent and investment and
supporting recovery from COVID-19
· Transport
and access – increase genuine choices for a healthy, vibrant and
equitable Auckland
· Affordable
housing
6. While
these high-level priorities were presented to the PACE committee on 13 May
2021, the panel is still able to review, refine and build on these priorities
at this meeting. If further work is required, the panel can include the
strategic action plan at its next workshop.
7. Discussing
this report at the Ethnic Peoples Advisory Panel’s May 2021 meeting
provides an opportunity for the panel to record any decisions on key aspects of
its strategic plan.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Ethnic Peoples Advisory
Panel:
a) note
that high level priorities from the panel’s strategic work programme were
presented to the May 2021 meeting of Auckland Council’s Parks, Arts,
Community and Events Committee
b) note
that the strategic work programme is a living document and further discussions
are possible to refine and build detail to allow the panel to confirm its
priorities for the remainder of the term.
