  1. Top EXCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC : LOCAL GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL INFORMATION AND MEETINGS ACT 1987

    Denise McKenzie  
    Democracy Advisor 12 November 2009

    Section 48, Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987:

    The following motion is submitted for consideration:

    That the public be excluded from the following part(s) of the proceedings of this meeting.

    The general subject of each matter to be considered while the public is excluded, the reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter, and the specific grounds under Section 48(1) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 for the passing of this resolution follows.

    This resolution is made in reliance on Section 48(1)(a) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 and the particular interest or interests protected by section 6 or section 7 of that Act which would be prejudiced by the holding of the whole or relevant part of the proceedings of the meeting in public, as follows:

    Item No.

    General subject of each matter to be considered

    Reason for passing this resolution in relation to each matter

    Particular interest(s) protected (where applicable)

    Ground(s) under section 48(1) for the passing of this resolution
    C6 Appeals to plan change 163 the residential 1 and 2 zones. The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7. Section 7(2) (i) - The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).

    In particular, five appeals have been lodged with the Environment Court against the Council's decisions on plan change 163 and the disclosure of information at this stage could be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to court proceedings

    The exclusion of the public from the part of the meeting is necessary to enable the local authority to deliberate in private on its decision or recommendation.

    		 S48(1)(a): The public conduct of this matter would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7.

    The text of these resolutions is made available to the public who are present at the meeting and form part of the minutes of the meeting.
