Attendance: Councillor Skinner returned to the meeting at 10.08am.
Mr Massen spoke in support of the request for a PPC, noting that this was a gateway decision and Council should not have any regard to material not included in the PPC proposal.
Mr Toia asked that Council follow due process to make an informed decision. He noted that the PPC was about much-needed housing, but also protecting that environment for generations through environmental enhancements and sustainable design.

Attendance: Councillor Lawrey returned to the meeting at 10.41am.
Mr Toia spoke of the vision of the proposal and asked that Council accept the PPC request.
Ms Barton introduced Kerry Anderson and Gina Sweetman of DLA Piper, who provided a short presentation giving an overview of PPC rules (A2753164). It was clarified that both Ms Barton and Ms Sweetman were satisfied with the level of information provided at this stage of the process and that climate change matters and details around effects would be considered at the substantive hearing on the matter, where there would be an opportunity for everyone to speak.
Ms Sweetman advised that the National Policy Statement for Urban Design 2020 policy (NPSUD) required councils to be responsive to any PPC requests. It was noted that Council was working on an updated FDS and that the rules did allow for councils to put PPC requests on hold, but that the timeframe for the FDS review was a Joint Committee decision and given the length of time until that would occur, the applicant did not agree to a time extension.
Questions and discussion took place on the PPC request process and Council’s obligations.
During questions, Councillor Skinner raised a Point of Order against Councillor Sanson for irrelevant questioning. The Point of Order was not upheld.
Questions and discussion continued.
During debate, the following Points of Order were raised:
· Councillor Sanson against Councillor Fulton for misrepresentation, in that she had not said the existing plan was obsolete, but had mentioned a High Court ruling that referred to a plan being obsolete. The Point of Order was upheld.
· Councillor Edgar against Councillor Lawrey for irrelevance in that the FDS was not a substantive matter for today’s decision. The Point of Order was upheld.

1. Receives the report Request for a Private Plan Change: Maitahi/Bayview (R26202) and its attachment (A2737849); and 2. Accepts the Request for the Private Plan Change for Maitahi/Bayview as Private Plan Change 28; and 3. Agrees independent accredited commissioners will be appointed to consider Private Plan Change 28 and to make recommendations to Council; and 4. Agrees that the decision-making options are set out in clause 25 of the First Schedule of the Resource Management Act and that this clause 25 decision is a process decision in Council's capacity as regulator; and 5. Agrees the significance of this process decision is low to medium because it is the substantive decision on the Private Plan Change that has the potential impact and that substantive decision will be subject to a public process, prescribed by the Resource Management Act. Accordingly, consultation under the Local Government Act on this clause 25 process decision under the Resource Management Act is neither necessary nor appropriate.

7. Three Waters Reform Update (Agenda Item 13)
Document number R26075, agenda pages 176 - 233 refer.
An updated draft Government response letter was tabled (A2745300).
Chief Executive, Pat Dougherty, spoke to the report, noting minor corrections. Mr Dougherty advised that there were indications of proposed amendments declining to take part in the reform and calling for a referendum on the issue, and invited Jonathan Salter of Simpson Grierson to provide advice on those courses of action.
Mr Salter noted that this was a big issue for all of local government, and provided context regarding Council’s obligations, advising that to make a decision to opt out at this time would be premature and contrary to those obligations, that a binding referendum would be premature and unlawful, and a non-binding referendum would be pre-emptive and, in his opinion, not the best use of ratepayers’ money.
Questions and discussion took place on the Three Waters Reform, including:
· National democracy had the primacy and there was limited merit in undertaking a referendum when Parliament had the final say and had indicated that there would be a consultation process
· The Government appeared to be committed to reform
· A decision to opt in or to opt out would be a significant decision, requiring consultation
· The recommendations today did not entail making a definitive decision
· Involvement in the process did not equate to a conflict of interest.
Attendance: Councillor O'Neill-Stevens left the meeting at 2.01pm.
During questions, Councillor Edgar raised a Point of Order against Councillor Skinner for misrepresenting the position of the Mayor, the Point of Order was upheld.
The meeting was adjourned from 2.14pm until 2.29pm, at which time Councillor O’Neill-Stevens returned to the meeting.
Changes to the officer’s recommendations were:
· An alternative recommendation clause 5 was provided to ensure clarity - Notes that a decision to definitively support or not support the Government’s preferred three waters delivery option is not required at this time, and would be premature and contrary to the Council’s decision-making obligations in relation to significant decisions
· Recommendation clause 8 was amended to replace the words “it would be desirable…” with the words “Council would need…”
· The reference number of the draft Government response letter (A2745300) was added to recommendation clauses 9 and 10
Discussion on the Three Waters Reform Update was suspended to allow the meeting to hear Mr Male’s public forum input, as he had not been available earlier.
4.4. Nelson Citizens Alliance – 3 Waters Reform
Discussion on the Three Water Reform continued, and Councillor Edgar, seconded by Councillor McGurk, moved the amended officers’ recommendations.

8. Nelson Central Library - Flood Mitigation Plan (Agenda Item 10)
Document number R26048, agenda pages 102 - 136 refer.
Group Manager Infrastructure, Alec Louverdis, presented the report and introduced Activity Engineer Flood Protection, Toby Kay, and Contractor, Damian Velluppillai.

It was confirmed that Ministry for the Environment guidance had been considered for the scenarios used and that the modelling would be re-run when it was known what the building would look like, and if anything had changed this would be brought back to Elected Members.
