Commissions of Inquiry Act 1908

Royal Commission on Auckland Governance

Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of New Zealand and Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith:
To The Honourable PETER SALMON, Q.C., of Auckland, retired High Court Judge; Dame MARGARET BAZLEY, of Wellington, retired public servant; and DAVID SHAND, of Auckland, consultant:

GREETING:

Recitals

WHEREAS, over the next 100 years, the Auckland region will face enormous change brought about by global economic, environmental, and political forces. Local trends, including high population growth, add to the challenges and opportunities for the region. Auckland has to compete in a global market place to sell its goods and services and to attract the talented people it requires to secure a sustainable and prosperous future:

And whereas, to face these challenges Auckland requires local and regional governance equal to the best in the world and capable of working effectively with central government to ensure Auckland is a successful, sustainable city in the Asia Pacific region and is recognised as such:

Appointment and order of reference

KNOW YE that We, reposing trust and confidence in your integrity, knowledge, and ability, do, by this Our Commission, nominate, constitute, and appoint you, The Honourable PETER SALMON, Q.C., Dame MARGARET BAZLEY, and DAVID SHAND to be a Commission to receive representations on, inquire into, investigate, and

report on the local government arrangements (including institutions, mechanisms, and processes) that are required in the Auckland region over the foreseeable future in order to maximise, in a cost effective manner,—

(a) the current and future well-being of the region and its communities; and

(b) the region’s contribution to wider national objectives and outcomes:

Matters to be taken into account

And, without limiting the order of reference set out above, We declare that, in conducting the inquiry and making recommendations, you must, under this Our Commission, take into account the implications of the findings of the Independent Inquiry into Local Government Rates for local government arrangements in the Auckland region:

Relevant matters

And, without limiting the order of reference set out above, We declare that, in conducting the inquiry, you may, under this Our Commission, investigate and receive representations on the following matters:

(a) what changes to current legislation (consistent with the purposes and principles of local government as described in the Local Government Act 2002) are considered desirable to achieve or support the achievement of the inquiry’s objectives; and

(b) what changes to the boundary of the Auckland region, or to the collaborative arrangements or mechanisms involving other regions across New Zealand, are considered desirable to achieve or support the achievement of the inquiry’s objectives; and

(c) what is required for effective relationships and collaborative arrangements between central and local government; and

(d) what ownership, governance, and institutional arrangements and funding responsibilities are required to ensure the effective, efficient, and sustainable provision of public infrastructure, services, and facilities to support and enhance—

(i) the current and future well-being of the Auckland region and its communities; and

(ii) the performance of the Auckland region as a growth engine in the New Zealand economy and in its role as a key transport hub for New Zealand and the Pacific region; and

(iii) the ability of the Auckland region to compete internationally as a desirable place to live, work, invest, and do business; and

(iv) the ability of the Auckland region to respond to economic, environmental, cultural, and social challenges (for example, climate change); and

(e) what governance and representation arrangements will best—
