Visitation to Auckland Council

On 29 January, CLAIR Sydney staff members visited Ms Kimberley Wu, the International Relations Manager at Auckland Council. Ms Wu was a participant of CLAIR’s annual Local Government Exchange and Cooperation Seminar in 2015, and she therefore has extensive first-hand experience and knowledge about Japanese local government administrations.

Currently, Auckland Council has 19 global partnerships with international cities around the world. During the visit, the CLAIR Sydney staff members also visited the Fukuoka Garden in Western Springs Lakeside Park, which was a redevelopment project that Auckland Council and Fukuoka City collaborated on and unveiled in 2017.

CLAIR Sydney would like to continue to expand on their dialogue with local councils in New Zealand such as Auckland Council, as well as provide support for Japanese local governments’ activities in New Zealand.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
