At the close of the agenda no requests for declarations of interest had been received. 3 Confirmation of minutes 3.1 Meeting minutes Hauraki Gulf Forum, 11 April 2011. 4 Leave of absence At the close of the agenda no requests for leave of absence had been received. 5 Acknowledgements At the close of the agenda no requests for acknowledgements had been received. 6 Petitions At the close of the agenda no requests for petitions had been received. 7 Deputations At the close of the agenda no requests for deputations had been received. 8 Public Forum Reference: Hauraki Gulf Forum: 28 March 2008 “That the Forum hold an open public forum session at beginning of each meeting”. Section 46(a)(7A) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 tends to limit the Forum’s ability to deal with items of general business. The Act states: “(7A) Where an item is not on the agenda for a meeting, - (a) That the item may be discussed at that meeting if – (i) That item is a minor matter relating to the general business of the local authority; and (ii) The presiding member explains at the beginning of the meeting, at a time when it is open to the public, that the item will be discussed at the meeting; but (b) No resolution, decision, or recommendation may be made in respect of that item except to refer that item to a subsequent meeting of the local authority for further discussion.” To enable the Forum to hold an open forum session and still remain within the constraints of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act the Forum may hear any speaker who wishes to address it, however any issues raised by the Forum or a formal resolution must be referred to a later meeting. It is also not appropriate to re-litigate resolutions already passed by the Forum during the course of the meeting. Page 7 Hauraki Gulf Forum 27 June 2011 In addition, to facilitate the efficient processing of the business it is recommended that any party who wishes to raise an issue in the open forum section advise the Forum Manager in advance of the meeting, where possible. Secondly a time limit of 5 minutes per speaker is recommended, which is in accordance with the NZ Standard Standing Orders. 9 Extraordinary business Section 46A(7) of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (as amended) states: “An item that is not on the agenda for a meeting may be dealt with at that meeting if- (a) The local authority by resolution so decides; and (b) The presiding

    Council Agenda - 26-08-20 Page 99 Project Number: 2-69411.00 Hauraki Rail Trail Enhancement Strategy • Identify and develop local township recreational loop opportunities to encourage short trips and wider regional loop routes for longer excursions. • Promote facilities that will make the Trail more comfortable for a range of users (e.g. rest areas, lookout points able to accommodate stops without blocking the trail, shelters that provide protection from the elements, drinking water sources); • Develop rest area, picnic and other leisure facilities to help the Trail achieve its full potential in terms of environmental, economic, and public health benefits; • Promote the design of physical elements that give the network and each of the five Sections a distinct identity through context sensitive design; • Utilise sculptural art, digital platforms, interpretive signage and planting to reflect each section’s own specific visual identity; • Develop a design suite of coordinated physical elements, materials, finishes and colours that are compatible with the surrounding landscape context; • Ensure physical design elements and objects relate to one another and the scale of their setting; • Ensure amenity areas co-locate a set of facilities (such as toilets and seats and shelters), interpretive information, and signage; • Consider the placement of emergency collection points (e.g. by helicopter or vehicle) and identify these for users and emergency services; and • Ensure design elements are simple, timeless, easily replicated, and minimise visual clutter. The design of signage and furniture should be standardised and installed as a consistent design suite across the Trail network. Small design modifications and tweaks can be made to the suite for each Section using unique graphics on signage, different colours, patterns and motifs that identifies the unique character for individual Sections along the Trail.
