Terms of Reference – LAC Trial
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Background
The Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017 (the Act) requires Fire and Emergency New Zealand (NZ) to
establish Local Advisory Committees (LACs).
Fire and Emergency NZ will be supported by a network of LACs to ensure a local and community-focused
perspective is heard and inputs into planning and the provision of services.
The purpose and functions of LACs are set out in Section 14 of the Act. Cabinet has been advised that there will
be up to 16 LACs. The Cabinet paper has been made public (CAB-15-MIN-0207 refers).
Purpose of this document
This paper outlines the draft Terms of Reference (TOR) for the LAC Trial to be undertaken in the Hawke’s Bay in
early 2018. Specifically, the TOR outlines the objectives, scope, approach, timeline and governance model for
the trial.
The trial will inform the final detailed design, operational processes and procedures and mandate upon which the
LACs will operate, as well as helping Fire and Emergency NZ to better understand the skills and knowledge LAC
members should have, how committees should be structured, how they will work with the organisation, and how
their local input will be incorporated into planning processes.

OBJECTIVES
The LAC trial will provide an opportunity to test, validate and confirm the elements of the LAC detailed design
and observe how these could play out in practice, across a number of different business scenarios, before the
LACs proper, are established. The trial provides the opportunity to test the detailed design in a simulated LAC
environment and gather feedback from the LAC trial members and other stakeholders. This will result in the
detailed design being updated accordingly.
The objectives for the LAC trial are as follows:

APPROACH
The Integration Programme principles will guide how the trial is designed and executed. They include:
Collaboration: Active engagement of and co-design with our people, the sector, unions and
associations, community interest groups, associations and emergency partners will underpin success.
The Programme will work ‘with’ not ‘to’ the sector, and will adopt a ‘listen and act’ not ‘tell and do’
approach. The Programme will treat all parties with respect and give peoples’ views due consideration.
Transparency: The Programme will communicate transparently and often. Transparency will be crucial
in maintaining the support of people, and including our people in the change.
Impartiality: The Programme will treat the views of all internal and external stakeholders fairly and with
respect. When designing solutions, it will work with the best interests of Fire and Emergency NZ and
the Community in mind and keep an open mind to diverse views.
Momentum: The Programme will maintain the momentum that was built throughout the Review and
Transition Phases of the Programme. It will balance the desire to work quickly with the sector and the
organisation’s ability to absorb change.
Leader-led: Change is more effective if it is owned and led by leaders throughout the organisation, in
particular regional and local leaders who have trust and credibility with our people. The Programme will
support leaders throughout the organisation and give them the tools they need to manage change and
empower them to lead effectively.
The trial will be led out of the Resilient Communities Workstream, in the Integration Programme. In Hawke’s
Bay, it will be led by Hawke’s Bay local leaders, Principal Rural Fire Officer (Trevor Mitchell) and the Area
Manager (Ken Cooper), with support from the Region 3 Regional Manager Rural (Gary Lockyer), Region 3 Acting
Fire Region Manager (Bruce Stubbs).
Planning and consultation will be undertaken prior to engaging and executing to ensure this is done in a
considered and prepared manner, and to ensure a seamless trial on a “no surprises” basis. Roles and
responsibilities wil be defined to ensure that there is clarity around who is responsible for doing which activities.
Stakeholder Engagement
Consultation, collaboration and buy-in are critical not only to the successful design and execution of the trial but
more importantly to how LACs are perceived by the community (through its local interest groups). LACs will be a
valuable mechanism for providing input to Fire and Emergency NZ around alignment of local risks and needs,
under the Official Information Act 1982
against Fire and Emergency NZ’s capability, and for ensuring that the interests of the local community have
appropriately been considered as part of the planning process. For Fire and Emergency NZ, LACs provide a
forum and opportunity to strengthen strategic stakeholder relationships, on both a local and national level and
means to ensure that we remain a tight connection with local communities.
A stakeholder engagement plan and communications plan is being prepared to ensure that engagement in
respect of the trial is carried out in an all-encompassing, planned and cohesive manner. The objectives of
Released
stakeholder engagement are to:
establish a trial Reference Group that will support the design process and act as champions within their
respective stakeholder organisations for the establishment and support of future LACs post July 2018;
8
DRAFT, IN CONFIDENCE, NOT GOVERNMENT POLICY
Fire and Emergency New Zealand Integration
Terms of Reference – LAC Trial
identify and appoint interim LAC members that can effectively represent the community interests of the
Hawke’s Bay Area;
educate stakeholders on the purpose of the LACs in the lead up to the establishment of LACs national y
post July 2018; and
tap into wider stakeholder groups, at a national level during and post the trial in the lead up to
implementation of the LACs.
Stakeholder analysis will ensure all appropriate community interests in the Hawke’s Bay local area are identified
and engaged to enable the best chance of securing interim LAC members that most appropriately represent the
community interests. This will be done collaboratively with the local leaders.
Reference Group
A Reference Group will also be established for the purposes of the trial. It is expected that this will comprise of
representatives from local community entities (that are not LAC members), unions and associations
representatives, previous Enlarged Rural Fire District Chairs Group and Fire and Emergency NZ Subject Matter
Experts from the LAC pilot groups. This group will be continuously consulted and informed on the trial as it
progresses, be responsible for reviewing trial outcomes and be used to workshop improvements, where specific
issues or inefficiencies have been identified. The Reference Group will also be tasked with keeping their
respective (national and local) stakeholder groups updated on trial progress and will act as a good medium for
continued stakeholder engagement, at a national level, once we are ready to deploy LACs across the country.
Trial Approach
The trial will replicate where practical, real life processes that we would expect the LAC to perform post July
2018. These will be based on the draft detailed design and allow us to test a number of dif erent business
scenarios within a process. The intent of the trial is to test these processes to ensure that they are not only fit-
for-purpose, but also easy for LAC members to perform, without being time intensive or requiring significant IT or
other specialist skills, recognising that LAC members are likely to stem from a number of diverse groups, with
varying skill sets. A series of business scenarios will be developed to allow us to test the end-to-end process,
and assess the impacts on all participants in the process, as part of the trial planning. These will also include
scenarios where things do not go as planned. For example, what happens when a LAC is unhappy with Fire and
under the Official Information Act 1982
Emergency’s response to their advice, what happens when the LAC is not functioning and meeting expectations
under the Operating Principles etc.
An iterative design process wil be adopted during the trial, involving the Reference Group in design and using
the trial participants to test different design options, where appropriate, in order to land on the best solution.
Where possible, we will try to trial refinements to process, during the trial period, to ensure these pan out as
Released
intended.
The trial will also enable the assessment of the people impacts of proposed design and the practicality and
effectiveness of the proposed Fire and Emergency NZ engagement/relationship manager role, and the capability
and capacity that is required in order to successful y support the LAC process nationally, in the future. There will

be no permanent changes to roles made as a result of the trial. Relevant unions and associations will be advised
of any temporary impacts on existing jobs e.g. secretariat functions required to support the LAC trial.
At the conclusion of the trial, findings and recommendations will be documented and presented to the Board for
consideration. It is envisaged that the LAC Detailed Design will also be finalised at this point and presented to
the Board for approval.
