EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The Purpose of the Plan Asset management planning is a comprehensive process ensuring delivery of services from infrastructure is financially sustainable. This Asset Management Plan (AMP) details information about infrastructure assets with actions required to provide an agreed level of service in the most cost-effective manner while outlining associated risks. The plan defines the services to be provided, how the services are provided and what funds are required to provide over the 2021-2041 year planning period. The Asset Management Plan will link to a Long-Term Financial Plan which typically considers a 20 year planning period. This plan covers the infrastructure assets that provide three waters to the Manawatu District Council. The purpose of this Plan is to improve the stewardship of assets by Council on behalf of its customers and stakeholders and achieve compliance with statutory obligations. This plan specifically does that by: • Demonstrating responsible stewardship of three waters infrastructure assets; • Identifying minimum lifecycle (long term) costs to provide the agreed level of service; • Improving understanding of service level standards and options; • Assisting with an integrated approach to asset management throughout the organisation; • Improving customer satisfaction and organizational image; • Managing the risk of failure to deliver the required level of service; • Supporting long term financial planning of the Council; • Clearly justifying forward works programmes; • Improving decision-making based on costs and benefits of alternatives. 1.2 Asset Description The Council provides a variety of infrastructure to manage water supply, wastewater and stormwater within identified urban and rural areas. Three waters infrastructure assets provide a significant and essential service for residents and businessesDRAFT within the Manawatu District Council area. The three waters function represents around 24% of Council’s overall annual operating expenditure, with capital works also making up a large proportion of the Council’s expenditure. The following information provides an overview of the assets involved in the Manawatu District three waters activity. The information shown is collated here as a reference resource of the extent of the assets involved. The three waters infrastructure assets have a replacement value of $307,856,468. Three Waters Activity Management Plan 2021 Draft 4 Asset Register Three waters assets are managed in the Assetfinda database. Over 47,852 individual assets or components are detailed in the database. The following table shows a summary of the Replacement Costs and Depreciated Replacement Costs of Asset Values for the Utilities. Class Group Replacement Value Depreciated Annual Replacement Value Depreciation Value Water $120,018,675 $61,607,128 $1,709,914 Wastewater $119,543,793 $77,541,263 $2,017,766 Stormwater $68,294,000 $38,973,120 $627,435 Total $307,856,468 $178,121,511 $4,355,115 Assets Included in this Plan An overview of the three waters assets owned by the Manawatu District Council are outlined in Tables 1-3 below.

Knowing the condition of an asset enables more accurate prediction of asset development, maintenance and renewal/replacement requirements. The Manawatu District Council identifies the condition of the three waters infrastructure assets by the age of the asset, through visual targeted inspections (including sampling) and maintenance monitoring. Targeted inspections are carried out on asset components that are considered critical to Council and the community, have the potential to impact on public health and safety; or where there is a specific requirement, for example to meet regulatory requirements or for asset acquisition, disposal, or justification. Targeted inspections of infrastructure assets are carried out by Council staff, or a specialist Consultant to identify the condition of specific asset components at intervals specified

  • Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019
    Regional Transport Committee Approved Organisation Update June 2019 ORGANISATION NAME: Horowhenua District Council RTC REPRESENTATIVE: Mayor Michael Feyen 1. MAINTENANCE, OPERATIONS AND RENEWALS Pavement repairs and drainage work for next season’s reseals have begun around the district. This year’s reseals, which were undertaken by JJ Walters as subcontractors to Higgins, had all but one site completed by mid-December with the final site completed in April following completion of a minor safety improvement project. The road past the Gladstone Road slip has continued to be open full time. Geotechnical investigations have been carried out along the corridor of a possible realignment. The development of a business case has begun and a variation to the RLTP will be forthcoming. Work on this financial year’s rehabilitations progressed well except on Waitarere Beach Road where the discovery of a midden has held work up. The project has now been delayed until the new financial year. 2. WALKING AND CYCLING Council officers have met with the NZ Transport Agency and KiwiRail regarding a proposed shared pathway in the rail reserve in Levin from Tararua Road to Roslyn Road. This pathway would become the north/south spine for the shared pathway network through the town. KiwiRail have issues with trespassers illegally crossing the railway line all along the rail corridor in Levin and a fence could be installed at the same time to alleviate this concern. 3. ROAD SAFETY RURAL SPEED LIMIT REVIEW HDC have been undergoing a Rural Speed Limit Review with the aim to implement any new rural speed limits by the end of the financial year.

    Environmental Scan March 2020 www.mdc.govt.nz Environmental Scan 2020 1 Contents INTRODUCTION 5 SOCIAL AND CULTURAL PROFILE 11 ECONOMIC PROFILE 21 ENVIRONMENTAL PROFILE 31 MAJOR REGIONAL DEVELOPMENTS/PROJECTS 37 GOVERNMENT PROPOSALS, LEGISLATION, 39 INQUIRIES AND NATIONAL TRENDS BIBLIOGRAPHY 60 2 Environmental Scan 2020 Environmental Scan 2020 3 Introduction An Environmental Scan looks at what changes are likely to affect the future internal and external operating environment for Manawatū District Council (Council). It looks at where the community is heading and what we, as Council, should be doing about it. It should lead to a discussion with elected members about what tools Council has available to influence the direction the community is taking. The purpose of local government, as set out in the Local Government Act 2002 includes reference to the role of local authorities in promoting the social, economic, environmental and cultural wellbeing of their communities. The indicators included in this report have been grouped into each of the wellbeings under the headings of “Social and Cultural Profile,” “Economic Profile” and “Environmental Profile.” However, it is recognised that the many of these indicators have impacts across multiple wellbeings. Council has used the most up-to-date data available to prepare this Environmental Scan. In some cases this data is historic trend data, sometimes it is current at the time the Environmental Scan was finalised, and in some cases Council has used data and trends to prepare future forecasts. Council does not intend to update the Environmental Scan over time, but the forecasting assumptions contained within Council’s Ten Year Plan will be continually updated up until adoption.
