and should it be expanded to include that it can be an
appointed delegate of the Chief Executive of one of the four local authorities.
7.3 Further clarification from the Committee was requested surrounding page 58, section
relating to “Voting” particularly around “Members are to vote in accordance with
their role (e.g. Representative of a Council, Representative of an Iwi or Chair of an
Advisory Group).” And what impacts that would having on balancing the voting
component.
meetings have been held by the district councils with Māori at hapū and marae
level. Legally it is appropriate that discussions are held with Marae Trusts as the
landowners, though iwi authorities should be made aware that these conversations are
occurring. Recommendation made by WK that all contact should be recorded in writing
to be able to stand up at any later stage.
