    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
    C1 Airspace Licences - Fees and charges Public conduct of matter would be likely to result in disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7. Section 7(2)(b)(ii)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.

    Section 7(2)(h)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial activities.

    In particular, the licence fees are commercially sensitive and could provide a third party with material which could be used against council at a future date i.e. The level of charges are unique to each licence and analysis of them could be misleading.

    		 Section 48(1)(a)

    The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

    C2 Proposed plan modification 132b - application of the character overlay to the Balmoral and Sandringham town centres Public conduct of matter would be likely to result in 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).

    Section 7(2)(j)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or improper advantage.

    In particular, the report includes a draft plan change and the disclosure of information at this stage could be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to the plan change being publicly notified.

    		 Section 48(1)(a)

    The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding exists under section 7.

    C3 Orakei Peninsula - draft framework agreement Public conduct of matter would be likely to result in disclosure of information for which good reason to withhold exists under section 7. Section 7(2)(b)(ii)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would be likely unreasonably to prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information.

    In particular, the information relates to costs associated with the development of property and who would pay for the development.  It also contains potential development feasibility outcomes that in the current market have significant uncertainness attached to it so is therefore commercially sensitive.

    		 Section 48(1)(a)

    The public conduct of the part of the meeting would be likely to result in the disclosure of information for which good reason for withholding 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.
