Speak at a monthly business meeting

We set aside time for members of the public to speak to the board at our monthly business meetings.

The board allocates 30 minutes for the public to speak to elected members. Each speaker has three minutes.

The other option is to speak through a deputation. This is a formal presentation requiring seven days' notice and the chairperson's approval.

Deputations are given 10 minutes to speak, including time for the board members to ask questions.

You can read our upcoming meeting agendas to find out what is coming up.

Contact KaipatikiLocalBoard@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz in advance to arrange to speak.

See Speak at a local board meeting for more information.

Community forums

Community forums are held quarterly. They are a good place to express your opinion to your elected representatives.

Each group or individual is allocated 10 minutes for a presentation.

This presentation must be:

• submitted seven working days before the date of the meeting
• approved by the chairperson.

You can:

• talk about issues facing you or your community group
• give an update about your group's activities.

You can only have two presenters but you are welcome to have extra people attend in support.

The presentation is recorded on the public record in official minutes.

The board does not make any resolutions about funding decisions at community forum meetings.

When and where they are held

Community forums are usually held on the fourth Wednesday of every third month and are open to the public.

They start at 6pm and are held at various locations around the Kaipātiki Local Board area.
