Importantly our finances remain in a strong position allowing us to keep our rates at 1.2% and our public debt reduced to $2 million. Activity at the Parklands development continues to fund amenity and facilities for residents and visitors and these add huge value to the city experience and peoples lifestyles. Projects completed over the last 12 months are: Moving Marineland Penguins to a new extension of the Aquarium Junior Cycle Track on Marine Parade Marine Parade Playground additions for older children and the start of the landscaping to the Aquarium Greening of Napier programme continued throughout the city Onekawa Spray Park Stage One of the Hastings Street upgrade has been completed and the large stormwater project along Tennyson Street to Marine Parade beach successfully and safely finished. A pier over the outfall will be constructed in 2014. Taipo Stream Pathway continues the city’s desire to have pathways accessible to all. Roading projects include the Pandora Road roundabout, Puketapu Road reconstruction, Hill Road and Northe Terrace. Significantly the Museum & Art Gallery was handed back to Council in April ready to be filled with the treasures of Hawke’s Bay. The completion of Herschell Street upgrade adds to the ambience of this special area and the MTG (Museum Theatre Gallery) is now back as the cultural heart of Hawke’s Bay. 2012/13 year ends with a huge amount of work completed for the city – it is thanks to our staff, the Council and residents that we can be proud of our city.

Page 6 Napier City Council Annual Report Summary 2012/13 Major Budget Variances Explanations for major variations from Council’s 2012/13 Annual Plan are as follows: 2.1. Statement of Financial Performance 2.1.1 Income Income was $11.2m below 2012/13 budget and $8.9m below 2011/12 year. Significant variances to budget arise from other revenue and other gains/(losses) classifications as follows: (a) Finance Income Interest income of $3.5m for 2012/13 was better than budget by $1.8m. Interest bearing deposits were significantly higher during the year than anticipated in the budget as cash held by Council was significantly higher than budget. Cash held is invested in interest bearing deposits in accordance with Councils investment policy. Increased amounts held on deposit have resulted in higher than planned interest income.

  • Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
    Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs.
