CONSULTATION<br />
Internal consultation and external consultation has occurred through the holding of a <strong>Council</strong><br />
workshop to discuss the proposal and determine whether the <strong>Council</strong> would submit an alternative<br />
proposal. This workshop was advertised in the newspaper and was open to the public. The<br />
workshop was attended by <strong>Council</strong>lors, officers and some members of the public.<br />
Contact was made with the potentially affected landowners within the <strong>Taupo</strong> <strong>District</strong>, where phone<br />
numbers or e-mail addresses were available. Information regarding the proposal and details of<br />
where to find more information was provided to these landowners. Feedback was sought from<br />
them about the proposal. All the landowners contacted, except one, were not aware of the<br />
proposal. The majority provided no comment as they had not had time to think about how the<br />
proposal may affect them.<br />
Further consultation is proposed with affected landowners before the Local Government<br />
Commission publically notifies its draft proposal and invites submissions on it (expected to be<br />
August <strong>2013</strong>).<br />
COMMUNICATION/MEDIA<br />
Apart from a public notice in the newspaper about the <strong>Council</strong> workshop on the proposal no<br />
communication has occurred with the media.<br />
Communication will be important once the Local Government Commission publically notifies its<br />
draft proposal and invites submissions on it.<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
The proposed local government reorganisation in the Hawkes Bay region has the potential to have<br />
a significant effect on <strong>Taupo</strong> <strong>District</strong>. It is important that <strong>Council</strong> voices its concerns at this early<br />
stage of the process and continues to be involved in further stages of the process of assessing this<br />
proposal.
