Grounds under section 48(1) for the passing of the resolution |
Rationale for excluding the public |
NIWE Wairoa flood resilience |
s7(2)(e) Excluding the public is necessary to prevent disclosure of information that could damage measures that prevent or mitigate loss to members of the public. s7(2)(f)(ii) Excluding the public is necessary to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs by protecting councillors and/or council employees and contractors/ consultants from improper pressure or harassment. s7(2)(i) Excluding the public is necessary to enable the local authority holding the information to carry out, without prejudice or disadvantage, negotiations (including commercial and industrial negotiations). s7(2)(j) Excluding the public is necessary to prevent the disclosure or use of official information for improper gain or improper advantage. |
Sensitive information in the report has the potential to adversely impact negotiations and, at this stage, may be misrepresented publicly and negatively impact the project’s progress and funding.
