   Julie McKee
   Hearings Team Leader	01 Aug 2007
   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
   C1	164-168 Hobson Street, Auckland Central - Environment Court Appeal to Plan Change 7	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 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, an appeal has been received by the owner of the building Dae Ju Housing Co. The appellant seeks the deletion of the building as a category B scheduled building in the Plan. The withholding of information is necessary to enable the local authority to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations and the disclosure of information at this stage could be used by other parties to gain improper advantage prior to court proceedings.	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.
