(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 2022.
