REGIONAL GOVERNANCE UPDATE
| Karen Lyons |
|
| Group Manager, Strategy Office |
30 July 2009 |
Providing a report that
updates the Regional Governance Committee on work related to the transition to
Auckland Council with a focus on preparation for Council's submissions on the
third Auckland bill and the Local Government Commission's work on boundaries.
In addition, the report reviews submissions on the Local Government (Auckland
Council) Bill, currently before the Auckland Governance Legislation Select
Committee, and provides a general update on our work with the Auckland
Transition Agency.
The
third bill is expected to be introduced in October 2009 and will contain the
detail on Auckland's governance arrangements as well as transitional matters.
The Local Government Commission needs to determine boundaries for wards and
local boards by April 2010. In preparation for these processes, we are
initially focussing on boundaries for local boards and wards, the role of local
boards, governance and delivery arrangements for transport, governance and
delivery arrangements for the waterfront and the strategic framework for the
Auckland Council. We are also scoping out other issues that we think need to be
considered by Council prior to October 2009. Subject matter experts from across
the organisation are contributing to this work.
Recommending that the Regional Governance Committee endorses the work programme
to prepare for Council's submission on the third Auckland bill and for the Local
Government Commission's work on boundaries with its initial focus on boundaries,
local boards, transport, the waterfront and options for an Auckland Council
strategic framework.
