Dear Department of Conservation,

 

This is an OIA request to the Aotea Conservation Park Advisory Committee,

 

Thank you for provide up to date minutes on your website, I would like to
request the following documents/information after reviewed your recent
meeting minutes:

 

1. I noted on Item 12 - 2018-2019 Annual report to the Minister of
Conservation, you have drafted the report and have you send it to the
Minsiter? If you have, may I request a copy of your report been sent to
the Minsiter? If not, may I request when it will be send to the Minsiter
and when it will become available?

 

2. I noted on the Item 13 - Director’s Report, The property teams and
maintenance was explained. The department is looking into scheduling for
maintenance and a plan is being formulated. May I ask what was explained
and given the plan is being formulated, may I request to view the plan?

 

3. I  noted on the Agenda Item 14 – Operations Manager’s Report, Judy
wants to increase the focus on the wetland area as it is the largest
wetland in the Auckland region. George would like more mapping done to
refine the wetland area. Judy put forward the concept of ‘weed the
wetland’ as a slogan for community interest. Taryn keen to involve youth
and community groups. What is the DOC's reponse on that point? It was not
clearly articulate in the minutes.

 

4. I  noted on the Agenda Item 14 – Operations Manager’s Report, Judy
wants to have a discussion with Jeremy regarding boats coming from
Coromandel harbour. I would like to know has the discussion happend and if
yes, can you please send me the relevant information/outcome of that
discussion.

 

5. I  noted on the Agenda Item 14 – Operations Manager’s Report, Kate
wanted to know if there was a specific plan for Aotea. George says yes, he
imagines plan for certain places within that plan. May I request a copy of
this plan.

 

6. I noted on the Agenda Item 15 Permissions report, Ken interested in
what the institute of Geology and Nuclear science were needing permits
for. George and Andrew clarified this. What is the DOC's reponse on that
point? It was not clearly articulate in the minutes and what has been
clarified?

 

7.I noted on the Agenda Item 17 (corrected)- Financial Report Amy tabled
the latest financial report for ACPAC received from Helen Duff. Nicola
thought that the budget could be used to gain more community involvement.
Taryn questioned if the budget could be used for advertising. May I
request to view the Financial report tabled and what is the reponse to
Taryn's question, can the budget used for advertising? It was not clearly
articulate in the minutes.

 

8. I noted on the Agenda Item 18 (Corrected) – Dates and Venues for 2019 –
2020 Committee Meetings, It was not clearly articulate in the minutes, may
I ask what has been confirm and what was the proposed Dates and Venues for
2019 – 2020 Committee Meetings?

 

9. I noted on the Agenda Item 8 (i) (ii) – Policies Public attendance at
meetings policy George outlined the policy on public attendance at
meetings. He opened a discussion about the committee’s position on public
attendance. Nicola suggested that the committee continue with that policy,
and that a public forum should be provided within each ACPAC meeting. I
can't find the future meeting date and venues available on your website,
may I ask how the ACPAC invite public to attend the meeting? Where the
public can get these information.

 

Yours faithfully,
