Reason for Report
1. This item provides and update on the
Climate Action Joint Committee Terms of Reference (ToR) as adopted by the
partner councils.
Background
2. Following the 22 May 2023 Joint

each of the partner councils for adoption. At this time four of the five
partner councils have adopted the amended ToR – CHBDC to consider 17
August.

the ToR, the following Post Settlement Governance Entities have been invited to
appoint a member and an alternate to the Joint Committee:
3.1. Heretaunga Tamatea Settlement Trust
3.2. Mana Ahuriri Trust
3.3. Maungaharuru-Tangitū Trust
3.4. Ngāti Pāhauwera Development

Governance Manager), Pippa McKelvie-Sebileau (Climate Action Ambassador),
Nichola Nicholson (Team Leader Policy & Planning), Richard Wakelin (Manager

Paulina Wilhelm, Julia Atkinson and Tania Diack from Napier City Council.
4.4. Dylan Muggeridge from Central

4.5. Adam Childs from Hawke’s Bay

5. Wairoa District Council has not yet
advised of any appointments.
6. Discussions about representation of Te
Ao Māori and/or mātauranga Māori on the TAG are ongoing with Te
Kupenga (Māori Partnerships teams across councils).
Financial
and Resource Implications
7. HBRC is the administering authority
for the Joint Committee and will cover the costs of administration and tangata
whenua representatives’ remuneration.
8. Funding for technical inputs will
predominantly come from the existing HBRC climate action budget with
contributions on a case-by-case basis from member councils.
9. Consideration will be given to sharing
the costs for tangata whenua participation and technical inputs, similar to the
Napier-Hastings Future Development Strategy Joint Committee, between all the
member councils as part of the 2024 Long Term Plan process.
Decision
Making Process
10. Council and its committees
are required to make every decision in accordance with the requirements of the
Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements in
relation to this item and have concluded:
10.1. The decision does not significantly
alter the service provision or affect a strategic asset, nor is it inconsistent
with an existing policy or plan.
10.2. The use of the special consultative
procedure is not prescribed by legislation.
10.3. The decision is not significant under
the criteria contained in Council’s adopted Significance and Engagement
Policy.
10.4. Given the nature and
significance of the issue to be considered and decided, and also the persons
likely to be affected by, or have an interest in the decisions made, Council
can exercise its discretion and make a decision without consulting directly with
the community or others
having an interest in the decision.
Recommendations
That
the Climate Action Joint Committee:
1. Receives and considers the Climate
Action Joint Committee Terms of Reference update.
2. Accepts the Terms of Reference (attached)
as adopted by the partner councils.
