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

    Julie McKee
    Hearings Team Leader	26 Sep 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	"Jenny's" Road, Tryphena, Great Barrier Island - Environment Court Appeal	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) (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 lodged with the Environment Court against the council's decision to approve land use consent to undertake roading works to form part of the legal 'paper' road commonly known as "Jenny's" Road at Tryphena. 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.
