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.

Panel Discussions
File No.: CP2025/07147
Te take mō te
pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To
provide an opportunity for our guest panellists to have an
open Talanoa on local governance, local elections, and civic engagement. To
facilitate this Talanoa, will be one of our panel members, Seimoana Naisali,
who is lead for the Elections Cross Panel.
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. On
the panel, we have an awesome line up of Pasifika leaders in Auckland and we
hope this will spark some interest from our audience. How this will work is
that Seimoana Naisali will ask them some questions, we’ll have a Talanoa
and then after that, we’ll open the floor to the audience for questions.
3. On
the panel, we have:
i)
Cr Lotu Fuli, Councillor of the Manukau Ward. A
first term Councillor, she was formerly the Chairperson of the
Ōtara-Papatoetoe Local Board. She currently serves as Deputy Chairperson
of the Regulatory and Safety Committee and is the liaison councillor for the
Pacific Peoples’ Advisory Panel.
ii)
Cr Josephine Bartley, Councillor of the
Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Ward. A third term Councillor, she was formerly the
Chairperson of the Maungakiekie-Tāmaki Local Board. She was the first
Pasifika Woman elected to the supercity council and currently serves as
Chairperson of the Regulatory and Safety Committee.
iii)
Chillion Sanerivi. Chillion is part of a number
of organisations and is founder of the Rivi Consultancy. He is a seasoned youth
development consultant with extensive experience in leadership, community
engagement and youth development within the Pasifika and Māori
communities.
iv)
Uelese Jason Motusaga, Secretary of the Whau
Youth Board.
v)
Fine Aholelei, member of the Youth Advisory
Panel. Fine has been actively involved in youth advocacy, serving on the
Tāmaki Youth Council, the Ministerial Youth Advisory Group for Education,
and the Youth Law Advisory Group. Passionate about equity and community, Fine
is driven by her Pasifika heritage and upbringing in a low socio-economic area.
4. These
are the questions that panellists will be asked:
· Firstly, why does
having Pacific voice in local government matter? How does it shape decisions in
our communities?
· Our second question
is, what is stopping Pacific people from getting involved in local elections,
and how can we fix that together?
· Speaking on youth,
how can we inspire Pacific youth to lead, vote, and help shape the future of
our communities?
Ngā tūtohunga
Recommendation/s
That the Pacific Peoples
Advisory Panel:
a) whakamihi / thank all the
panellists for their contribution to this Talanoa.
