(Excerpt – full terms of
reference available as a separate document)
The terms of reference set out the purpose, role and protocols of
all Auckland Council demographic advisory panels. 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
panels 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 in relation to the Auckland Plan, the Long-term Plan and regional
policies. The panels should advise on council’s operational and
organisational strategies relevant to diverse communities.
The panels may also consider whether they
wish to choose, shape and support a project they feel passionate about as part
of their work programme.
The governing body and council staff should work with the panels for
the development of their strategic agendas and work programme. The Planning,
Environment and Parks Committee will approve the panel’s work programme
and any subsequent major changes to it.
Submissions
The panel cannot make formal submissions to
Auckland Council on council strategies, policies and plans, for example, the
annual plan. However, the panel may be asked for informal feedback during a
consultative process.
In its advisory role to the council, the
panels 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 2025.
