Dear Hurunui District Council,

I noted,
"We're looking for an enthusiastic person to join our panel, to help assess funding applications for arts projects in our district through the Creative Communities NZ grant scheme.
This opportunity is open to anyone who is passionate about the arts and familiar with the range and diversity of arts within the Hurunui District.
This is a voluntary position and involves attending meetings in Amberley in March and September to assess the applications.
If you're interested in becoming a panel member, please email a brief resume with your contact details, listing your interest and involvement in the arts, as well as the names of two referees who would support your application.
5pm Friday 20 March 2026."

May I ask how you called for public nomination and on what platform you have call for public nominations e.g. govt.jobs website. A copy of your ad and pay rate as well. How many you have shortlisted and how many you have interviewed. Also, can I request to view the appointment letter if there is one sent to the previous appointee. I am happy for you to remove any relevant personal information. How many vacancy you are looing to fill for this round.

Yours faithfully,

Hi John

 

In response to your Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act
request below, our Grants Officer has advised that the Council advertised
in all the local newspapers in the district and its social media pages for
three weeks. The deadline was extended by a further week but there were no
applications received.  With the approval of the Chairperson, the officer
approached the Cheviot Craft Group who have nominated a person to fill the
vacancy.  This was done to encourage representation from the Cheviot area,
which the panel has not had for some years. The role is voluntary and the
information copied below in your email is what the Council used for the
advertisement. There is no appointment letter and there were two vacancies
– with only one having been filled at this stage.

 

 

Ngâ mihi

Graham
