    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:

    C1 City Development Committee Report No. C2/2008 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).

    In particular, this report and its appendices contain references to properties that Auckland City Council may seek to acquire. Disclosure of information identifying these sites would seriously disadvantage council's negotiating position when trying to acquire these sites.

    		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 Urgent Decision - Mid City 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)(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).

    In particular, to protect the council's position with respect to a tender process where disclosing amounts involved could prejudice the council's position.

    		 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 Finance and Strategy Committee Report No. C4/2008 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)(a)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons, including that of a deceased person.

    In particular, item i. contains specific information about members of Auckland City Council's boards and the boards of its associated entities.

    In particular, item ii contains specific information about members of the Metrowater board and candidates to this board.

    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, confidentiality is required as the report for item iii contains confidential financial and commercial information relating to various contractors.

    		 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.
    C4 Arts, Culture and Recreation Committee C2/2008 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)(h)

    To enable the council to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, commercial activities.

    Section 7(2)(b)(ii)

    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.

    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.

    To enable the council to carry on, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations).

    Section 7(2)(b)(i)

    The withholding of the information is necessary to protect information where the making available of the information would disclose a trade secret.

    In particular, information contained within the report will be incorporated into the nationwide competitive process bid for the allocation of teams and matches, and public release may affect council's ability to negotiate with external parties for funding for the delivery of elements of the proposed programme.

    		 S48(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.
