HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Māori Committee

Tuesday 10 April 2018

Subject: Long-Term Plan 2018-2028 submission

 

Reason for Report

1.      Facing Our Future 2018-28 is the Regional Council's consultation document for Hawke's Bay, covering the Council’s plans for the next ten years to support the key steps to restore our rivers, streams, lakes, estuaries and the coastal marine environment.

2.      Your feedback is requested on this proposal to assist the Council in its final decision making process. Submissions are due 4pm Monday 23 April 2018.

3.      Submissions can be made on-line at: https://www.hbrc.govt.nz/our-council/consultation/current-consultations/facing-our-future-long-term-plan/ltp-2018-28-submission-form/

Background

4.      Councils produce a new Ten Year Plan (also called a Long Term Plan) every three years which includes the Annual Plan for the first of the three years.

5.      The Regional Council publishes its Annual Plan in the intervening two years between Long Term Plans (LTP) for the community to consider, make submissions on and assist in developing the work programme of the Council. While it is still a robust planning process, it has less detail than the LTP and mostly reports on exceptions or changes.

6.      Facing Our Future 2018-28 describes a number of initiatives and key proposals that the Council wishes to implement over the next 10 years.

7.      The Regional Council will be holding a number of public meetings in April, public hearings in May and making final decisions in June, before the new financial year begins on 1 July 2018.

Next Steps

8.      Please review the consultation document (attached) and consider those fundamental issues, which represent your Taiwhenua to be considered within the LTP 2018-2028.

9.      A proposed Māori Committee workshop, to be held on Friday, 20 April 2018 from 9:00am – 12:00pm to produce a collective submission to the Council.

10.    Attendance at one or some of the following public meetings would also be beneficial, to hear other community views.

11.    The meeting dates are as follows:

Decision Making Process

12.    Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

 

Recommendation

1.     Note the consultation process that the Regional Council is employing for its 10 year Long Term Plan 2018-2028.

2.     That a workshop will be held with attendance by Maori Committee members, offering their views on the LTP in alignment to their Taiwhenua aspirations and expectations as submissions are due 4pm Monday 23 April 2018.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL

Māori Committee

Tuesday 10 April 2018

SUBJECT: April 2017 Statutory Advocacy Update

Reason for Report

1.      To report on proposals forwarded to the Regional Council and assessed by staff acting under delegated authority as part of the Council’s Statutory Advocacy project since the last update in December 2017.

2.      The Statutory Advocacy project (Project 196) centres on resource management-related proposals upon which the Regional Council has an opportunity to make comments or to lodge a submission. These include, but are not limited to:

2.1.      resource consent applications publicly notified by a territorial authority,

2.2.      district plan reviews or district plan changes released by a territorial authority,

2.3.      private plan change requests publicly notified by a territorial authority,

2.4.      notices of requirements for designations in district plans,

2.5.      non-statutory strategies, structure plans, registrations, etc prepared by territorial authorities, government ministries or other agencies involved in resource management.

3.      In all cases, the Regional Council is not the decision-maker, applicant nor proponent. In the Statutory Advocacy project, the Regional Council is purely an agency with an opportunity to make comments or lodge submissions on others’ proposals. The Council’s position in relation to such proposals is informed by the Council’s own Plans, Policies and Strategies, plus its land ownership or asset management interests.

4.      The summary outlines those proposals that the Council’s Statutory Advocacy project is currently actively engaged in.  This period’s update report excludes the numerous Marine and Coastal Area Act proceedings little has changed since the previous update.

Decision Making Process

5.      Staff have assessed the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to this item and have concluded that, as this report is for information only, the decision making provisions do not apply.

 

Recommendation

That the Māori Committee receives and notes the April 2017 Statutory Advocacy Update staff report.
