Each group is allocated 10 minutes for a presentation. This presentation must be submitted at least seven clear working days before the date of the meeting concerned, and has been subsequently approved by the Chairperson.

You can talk about issues facing you or your community group or give updates about your group's activities. You are allowed a maximum of two presenters, although you're welcome to have as many as you like attend in support.

The presentation is delivered in a public setting and is recorded on the public record in official minutes.

Speaking at public local board meetings

If you'd like to speak at a local board meeting contact the local board office at least 7 days in advance to let us know:

A speaker may not speak about a matter that:

has already been considered and decided
has a separate public hearings or consultation process attached to it
is subject to a quasi-judical process
is outside of the scope or functions of that local board or committee.

The chairperson can refuse your request if:

it does not comply with the Kaipātiki Local Board Standing Orders
there is insufficient time to receive the deputation
there is a more appropriate committee or person to receive the deputation
it is offensive, vexatious or repetitive.

Workshops

Purpose of workshops

Local board workshops focus on oversight and delivery of projects in their work programme.

This includes topics like events, and renewing assets across the local board area.

The local board does not make decisions at these workshops.

Workshops in Kaipātiki are open to the public and we publish a record of what was discussed and presented at the workshop. Due to COVID-19, some workshop items have been cancelled and replaced with information instead being circulated via email to Local Board Members. To maintain public oversight of these items, a copy of the workshop documents are included below.
