Nga mihi nui kia koutou, good morning to everyone. We are just about to start this morning with hearing from 5 some of our submitters and I understand that there is to be a slight change in order and we are starting with Miss van Beek first, thank you. MISS VAN BEEK: Good morning. 10 CHAIRPERSON: Good morning, just when you are ready. MISS VAN BEEK: Hello, my name is Anita van Beek and I am just doing my own personal kind of feelings about this submission. So I am not 15 possibly the best prepared for talking here as I have tried to read and understand some of the stuff and it has all been a bit gobbledygook, unless someone was there to explain some of it. So I haven’t have had a lot of time to read all of it, there’s busy jobs and things like that in my own life. 20 So basically this is kind of more my feelings. So, for example, some of the simple things like a “transportation corridor” I interpreted as “roads” but wondered if there was any difference between the two, sometimes it seemed like French to me.

  • Comparative Local Governance: Lessons from New Zealand for Japan
    Comparative Local Governance: Lessons from New Zealand for Japan by Harufumi Shiba A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Public Policy School of Government Victoria University of Wellington 2008 Abstract This study concerns local governance in Japan and whether lessons can be derived from New Zealand and other countries. There are significant differences in the constitutional arrangements of Japan and New Zealand and the history and cultural influences that shape local governance in each country. The case studies, which compare three different policy areas in both countries, confirm, however, the usefulness of the comparative analysis. This is not a parallel comparison; the focus is more on lesson learning from different systems and styles of local administrations. The Japanese local government sector is more subject to control and guidance from the centre. A premise of this study is that that a greater degree of autonomy for local government in Japan will be beneficial. ‘Governance’ is a term used in different ways in many contexts. In this study emphasis is placed on the ‘means for achieving direction, control and coordination of individual or organizational units on behalf of their common interests’ (Hill and Lynn Jr, 2004, p. 6). It is associated with the notion of ‘steering’ rather than ‘rowing (Osborne and Gaebler, 1993). Governance is not synonymous with government . In a decentralised environment, local governance concerns the way different interests are settled among, broadly, central government , local authorities and communities . The power balance among central government, local authorities and communities is at the centre of analysis in this study.

  • Voting in New Zealand Local Government Elections: the Need to Encourage Greater Voter Turnout
    RESEARCH and EVALUATION (PEER REVIEWED) Voting in New Zealand local government elections: the need to encourage greater voter turnout Commonwealth Journal of Local Governance Issue 24: June 2021 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/ojs/index.php/cjlg Andy Asquith School of Management Massey University Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Karen Webster School of Clinical Sciences Auckland University of Technology Auckland 0632 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Andrew Cardow School of Management Massey University Palmerston North 4442 New Zealand Email: [email protected] Abstract Within a global context, local government in New Zealand occupies an enviable position: it enjoys both a statutorily-defined ‘power of general competence’ and financial autonomy from central government. However, despite this, voter turnout rates in New Zealand local elections continue to fall as ever fewer New Zealanders engage in this fundamental act of civic engagement. This review article examines the decline in voting over the last four New Zealand local government elections (2010/13/16/19). It aims to do three things: plot the decline; identify and analyse the causes of this decline; and suggest ways in which the decline might be countered. The authors reach the conclusion that local government in New Zealand is at a crossroads – it will either be rejuvenated as a source of local democracy and prosper, or decline into an administrative arm of central government.
