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
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.

Feedback on
dog walking limit proposal
File No.: CP2024/14695
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
seek the Pacific Peoples Advisory Panel’s feedback on the proposal to
limit the number of dogs that one person may walk at one time in a public place
in Auckland.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. In
July 2024 the Regulatory and Community Safety Committee, completed a review of
Auckland Council Kaupapa mo ngā Kurī / Policy on Dogs 2019 (Policy) and Ture a Rohe Tiakina Kurī 2019 / Dog Management Bylaw 2019 (Bylaw).
3. While
the review found that the Policy and Bylaw are largely ‘fit for
purpose’, it identified a number of improvements, including walking
multiple dogs in public places as an emerging issue requiring further
investigation (Item 9, RSCCC/2024/47).
4. Currently,
the Policy and Bylaw requires all dogs to be kept under control. They do not
set a limit on the number of dogs being walked at one time.
5. The
further investigation identified that while walking multiple dogs were not
significantly overrepresented in dog-related incidents, setting an upper limit
would provide clarity and set clear behavioural expectations to address
problems.
6. In August 2024, a Joint Working Group recommended setting a limit on
the number of dogs that one person may walk at one time to a maximum of six
dogs on-leash, in an on-leash area, and a maximum of three off-leash in an
off-leash area (with the other three remaining on a leash).
7. Staff
seek the following feedback:
· Should
there be a limit on the number of dogs walked at one time? If so, why?
· How
might the proposed limit impact or affect your community?
8. The
panel's feedback will be used to inform the development of a proposal to set a
limit on the number of dogs a person can walk at one time in Auckland. The
proposal will be considered by the Regulatory and Community
Safety Committee in December 2024 for public consultation in early 2025.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Pacific Peoples
Advisory Panel:
a) whakarite
/ provide feedback on limiting the number of dogs that may be walked at one
time in a public place.

Pacific
Aucklanders and Climate change perceptions
File No.: CP2024/14174
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. For
Auckland Council’s Social & Economic Research
& Evaluation team to provide an update on research
progress.
2. Request
advice about opportunities for recruitment of ethnic-specific communities, as
required.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
3. Auckland Council’s Social & Economic Research &
Evaluation team designed a small-scale study to respond to knowledge gaps
(which were identified following a review of existing evidence) about Pacific
Aucklanders and climate change.
4. Specifically, the study will investigate:
i) Pacific
Aucklanders’ attitudes and understandings of climate-related
environmental changes in Auckland in the last 10-20 years.
ii) The
knowledge, awareness, and attitudes about climate change.
iii) Perceptions
of potential impacts of climate change (e.g., health, social, economic, environmental)
for themselves and their communities.
iv) Enablers
and barriers to undertaking climate-related actions and perceptions of
agency/non-agency.
v) The
applicability of their practices from Pacific countries in responding to
environmental changes in Auckland.
5. The study is qualitative and will include:
i) Eight
ethnic-specific talanoa with Pacific peoples.
ii) Eight
in-depth interviews with Pacific climate community advocates and experts.
6. We expect the results of this study will contribute to community
adaptation planning.
7. An independent Pacific research company (TIRIA) is leading the
project, and a Pacific Advisory Group (four Pacific staff from across the
Auckland Council group) has been established to oversee the project.
8. Recruitment of talanoa (focus group) participants will begin
mid-September. We welcome suggestions for recruitment from members of the PPAP.
9. We will continue to provide written updates on the study’s
progress throughout its duration.
10. Preliminary research results will be shared with the panel and
invitations to contribute to research fono extended, as required.
11. Italia Toeleiu is a member of the research project’s advisory
panel and can also provide informal updates to the PPAP, where necessary.
12. Data collection and analysis will run between September and December
2024.
13. The research will be completed in February 2025.
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s

Advisory Panel:
