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.

Parks and Community Facilities - Public Parks' accessibility information

File No.: CP2024/18139

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To inform the panel about accessibility assessments the Parks Advisory Team is undertaking for parks in the Auckland area.

2.       To update the panel on the inclusive playspace project at Ranui Domain.

3.       To understand how panel members currently access information about parks.

4.       To seek feedback on accessibility maps of parks, and regional access maps.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

Context

5.       Auckland Council has a responsibility to provide open spaces and facilities that are accessible to all.

6.       Currently, there are gaps in our understanding of accessible parks and places in Auckland.

7.       To address this, Parks Advisory has been undertaking accessibility assessments of prioritised parks and providing local boards with reports and recommendations for improvements based on these findings.

8.       Priority is being given to parks that are well used, have the capacity to realise identified actions and have not had similar assessments done.

9.       To date, we have assessed 20 parks across several local boards.

Accessibility Assessments

10.     Our assessments use a comprehensive Accessibility and Inclusivity checklist developed by Parks and Places Specialists and the Universal Design Team.

11.     This checklist guides our evaluations, allowing us to consider all aspects of a visit to a park, from looking for information online, to arriving and experiencing the park in person.

12.     The main output of these assessments are park-specific accessibility reports outlining short, medium and long-term recommendations.

13.     Local Boards and Parks and Community Facilities staff are responsible for implementing parks specific actions recommended within the reports, generally through renewals programmes.

Case Study: Ranui Domain

14.     In 2020/21, Parks Advisory conducted an accessibility assessment of Ranui Domain, Henderson-Massey.

15.     The recommendations outlined in the report played a crucial role in guiding the renewal of key assets, ensuring that improvements were prioritised and integrated into the Community Facilities work programme.

16.     As a result of the report’s recommendations, the public toilet was upgraded in 2023/24.

17.     Additionally, the playground is currently undergoing renovations, with a strong focus on incorporating accessible and inclusive features. It will be completed by the end of December 2024.

18.     To ensure the playground meets the needs of the community, a reference group was actively involved in the scoping and design process.

19.     Accessible and inclusive features include:

·    Fully fenced play space

·    Accessible car parking next to the main entrance.

·    Inground trampoline suitable for wheelchairs

·    Hammocks in a quiet area

·    Inclusive swings with wet pour access.

·    Musical play

·    Communication board

·    Wheelchair accessible water play pump and troughs.

·    Wheelchair accessible carousel

·    Wheelchair and pram accessible ramp up to a small wide slide and play

·    Wheelchair accessible drinking fountain

·    Wheelchair accessible picnic table under shelter

Maps

20.     Previously, Parks Advisory collaborated with an external consultant to develop accessibility maps for a select number of assessed parks (see Attachment A and B for examples).

21.     The maps highlight accessible features, including wheelchair-accessible pathways, accessible restrooms, and seating areas. The map indicates the locations of ramps, tactile indicators, and any nearby public transport options. The overall layout shows how to navigate the park with accessibility in mind.

22.     The mapping of assessed parks has only been implemented for a few parks because we currently lack the necessary resources and systems to keep park information consistently updated. Consequently, the reports and maps represent a snapshot in time. Relying on older assessments for map creation may lead to inaccuracies.

23.     Despite these limitations, the existing maps can act as a valuable tool by visualising accessibility information and giving a clearer understanding of the location and distance of accessible assets.

Planned next Actions

24.     We will continue to conduct accessibility audits to grow our understanding of the network.

25.     Parks Advisory is exploring how Council can implement the region-wide recommendations from the accessibility reports, with the accessibility information on Auckland Councils website identified as a possible area for improvement. We are seeking feedback specifically on this initiative. 

26.     In future, we will share accessibility information from the park assessments with the Digital team to ensure online resources accurately reflect each parks’ accessible features. 

27.     Additionally, the team is planning to resume the use of accessibility maps for each assessed park and is considering what a larger regional accessibility map might look like in future.

 

Seeking feedback

28.     The panel members are asked to consider the following questions:

·    Regarding accessing information: How do panel members currently plan a visit to a local park, and what resources do they use? 

·    Regarding maps: Where possible, consider the maps attached (Attachment A) and identify how clear the messaging of the maps is and which elements of the maps are helpful, or unhelpful.

Draft Mayoral Proposal for Annual Plan 2025/2026

File No.: CP2024/18856

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To allow the Seniors Advisory Panel an opportunity to discuss the draft Mayoral Proposal for Annual Plan 2025/2026.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

2.       Auckland's next annual plan, also known as the annual budget, is due to take effect on 1 July 2025. It sets out what we aim to achieve in Auckland over the next financial year and how we will fund these plans.

3.       This close to the adoption of Council’s Long-term Plan 2024-2034 this year, an annual plan is not intended to provide any major departures from that 10-year plan.

4.       Topics for public consultation will be decided at budget committee workshops in December 2024. Public consultation for the Annual Plan 2025/2026 opens in late February 2025. The panel will have the opportunity to provide feedback in the new year as part of this process.

5.        The draft Mayoral Proposal and associated staff advice for next year’s draft annual plan was released on 19 November 2024. There is an opportunity for local boards and the advisory panels to provide advice and feedback on this draft proposal.

6.       The staff advice document is detailed and covers a range of topics, particularly around CCO reform options. If the panel wishes to provide advice on these options it is recommended taking an agnostic view on where functions like urban regeneration, economic and cultural development and transport planning should sit, and instead focus feedback on the outcomes and services the panel considers important and what Councillors and Council should prioritise when deciding how best to deliver these.

7.       Additionally, there is advice on the funding of major events, destination marketing, and visitor attraction—a key theme in the draft Mayoral Proposal.

8.       This item provides an opportunity for the Seniors Advisory Panel to reflect on the draft Mayoral Proposal Annual Plan (Attachment A) and discuss aspects it considers to be relevant to the panel’s communities including:

i)       Potential impact of proposal, positive and negative, on seniors communities

ii)       Any elements of proposal the panel would strongly support or advocate for, or disagree with.

9.       The staff advice document at 327 pages is an on request document and has been pre-circulated to the panel.

Panel priorities for 2025

File No.: CP2024/17908

 

  

 

Te take mō te pūrongo

Purpose of the report

1.       To agree the Seniors’ Advisory Panels priorities for the final year of its term.

Whakarāpopototanga matua

Executive summary

Work so far

2.       In October 2023 the Panel agreed the following strategic priorities as the basis for its work for the 2022-2025 term:

·   Working to implement Age-friendly Auckland, Tāmaki Tauawhi Kaumātua (this is its overarching priority)

·   Housing

·   Safety

·   Access to Services

·   Transport

3.       Each priority has one or two members assigned to lead on the work and each lists key actions that the panel bases its mahi on. The strategic plan, with leads and key actions is included at Attachment A.

4.       Two panel members sit on Te Ropu Whakamana ki te Ao, the Age-friendly Auckland Implementation Group, and report back regularly to the rest of the panel on Te Ropu’s work.

5.       The panel’s work against these priorities is both proactive and reactive. For example, it provides views and advice to staff who attend its meetings in relation to respective subjects. This meets the panel’s role to provide advice to Council on matters of importance to seniors.

6.       The panel has progressively worked through its strategic priorities during its term. It focused its 11 March 2024 meeting on housing and invited representatives of Auckland Council’s Plans and Places team, Haumaru Housing and Simplicity Living to attend to discuss housing.

7.       At its 22 April meeting the Safety and Access to Services priority leads introduced a discussion paper on these subjects which was followed by a further paper and a CBD safety exercise at the 12 August meeting.

The 2025 programme

8.       The panel has four meetings in 2025; 10 March, 5 May, 30 June and 11 August.

9.       In terms of work on its strategic priorities, the above work leaves the Transport priority as a possible candidate for a specific session at a coming meeting and the panel is invited to consider whether, when and how it wishes to do further work on that.

10.     If the panel feels it wishes to place a particular focus on additional matters, this might include:

i.    Doing further work on areas it has previously advanced where members feel there is value in doing so.

ii.   Identifying other matters it feels would be worth pursuing, noting that this needs to be matters within the panels mandate and ideally, of value to the Council.

iii.   A variation might be to invite staff working in areas of relevance to the panel to identify any mahi they think the panel might usefully work on

iv.  Engaging with the Age-friendly Auckland team to identify areas where the panel might usefully contribute

v.   Other ideas the panel may have

11.     To support proper planning for 2025, staff ask that members provide some guidance on the above at this meeting to enable them to undertake planning ahead of the March 2025 meeting. If members wish to proactively undertake any preparation themselves, staff are available to assist, within reason.
