The group will need to address a complex arrangement of “technical and service-oriented advice” and because of that, it has been proposed to enlist five skills-based appointees. They will be joined by an independent chairperson and an iwi representative, who will be elected by local runaka.

The appointment of the group’s independent chairperson has been set down for the public excluded session of Wednesday’s committee meeting.
