    4. That the Arts Culture and Recreation committee and the Public Art sub-committee be requested to look at the approach being taken to public art in some other cities such as the Australian cities where art is often of an 'artisan' type with local folk tales, history and heritage as major themes.

    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 are as 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 are as follows:

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

    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 plan change contains commercially sensitive information and therefore to maintain fairness, the information should not be released to all parties until the plan change is publicly notified.

    S48(1)(a)

    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.
