Workshops enable staff to explore options with elected members before ideas are fully developed, and to receive feedback and guidance on policy development or project design. No resolutions or decisions are made by elected members at workshops and so the requirements of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 relating to local authority meetings do not apply.

Update on how Auckland Council is supporting communities to adapt to Climate Disruption

Ben Brooks

Figure 1 (Attachment A) provides an overview of council activities to support communities in Tāmaki Makaurau to adapt to climate disruption. This workshop will focus on the Resilient Tāmaki Makaurau programme which is highlighted on the right of the diagram.

Members and local board members received an update memorandum on the programme and a pilot being undertaken in Papakura in November 2024 which is attached as background (Attachment B).

What Auckland needs from the government’s adaptation legislation

Ben Brooks

The government has announced it will introduce climate adaptation legislation this year. It is critical for Auckland that this legislation delivers what our communities need to enable them to take action.
