WHAT HAPPENS AT A HEARING
INTRODUCTION
At the start of the Hearing the Chairperson will introduce members of the Hearing Panel and staff
and will briefly outline the hearing procedure. The Chairperson may then call upon the parties to
the Hearing to identify themselves for the Hearing Panel.
If any party intends to give written or spoken evidence in Maori, the Committee Secretary Hearings must be informed of this at least 5 working days prior to the hearing so that a qualified
interpreter can be provided.
The Chairperson is addressed as Mr Chairman or Madam Chair.
THE HEARING PROCEDURE
The usual Hearing procedure for the meeting is as follows:
1.
The applicant will be called upon to present his/her case. The applicant may decide to
engage legal counsel or consultants to appear on his/her behalf and may call witnesses in
support of the application. Thereafter members of the Hearing Panel may ask questions to
clarify the information presented.
2.
Submitters (for and against the application) are then called upon to speak. Submitters may
be represented by legal counsel or advisers and may call witnesses on their behalf. Each
speaker may be questioned in turn by the Hearing Panel.
3.
Should you wish to present written information in support of your application or submission,
it would be helpful if you would provide copies for each panel member, for other parties to
the application and for Council’s Planner and Committee Secretary - Hearings.
4.
Only members of the hearing panel can ask questions about submissions or evidence.
You can suggest questions for the panel to ask, but the panel does not have to ask them.
No cross examination either by the applicant or by those who have lodged submissions is
permitted at the Hearing.
5.
After the applicant and submitters have presented their cases, the Chairperson may call
upon Council officers to comment on any matters of fact or clarification.
6.
When all those who lodged submissions and who desired to be heard have completed
their presentations, the applicant or his/her representative has the right to summarise the
application and reply to matters raised by submitters. Members of the Hearing Panel may
ask further questions of the applicant at this stage.
7.
The Chairperson then generally closes the Hearing and the applicant, submitters and their
representatives leave the room. The Hearing Panel will then deliberate “in committee” and
make its decision by way of formal resolution. Decisions are made available within 15
working days of the Hearing.
8.
Approximately one week prior to the hearing a timetable for all submitters who wish to be
heard will be prepared. Please note that during the course of the hearing, changing
circumstances may mean that the proposed timetable is delayed or brought forward.
Submitters wishing to be heard are therefore requested to ensure that they can be
available to attend the hearing and present their evidence, as and when they may be
required.
The Committee Secretary - Hearings will notify submitters at the earliest possible
opportunity to advise on any changes to the timetable.
9.
Please note that no catering is provided at the hearing.
