recommending the strategy to the regional council to progress.
Simon
Bendall noted key points of his journey with the process including his first
meeting where they anticipated completing the work in 2.5 years, the
professor Komar report in 2014 which kicked the work off in earnest,
deliberate pacing early on to ensure the community was included in the
process, and thanked everyone who had been involved.
Queries and discussions covered:
·

easy to read and understandable
· For strategy implementation, the
Asher report recommended an advisory committee be set up with representation
of Napier City Council and Hastings District Council.
· Still design work to do however if
there is an advisory committee it would likely be supported by a Technical
Advisory Group. Ultimately, the regional council will decide the governance
structure for the strategy.
·
