RECOMMENDATION That, having considered all matters raised in the report, the report be noted. SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT This report is provided for information purposes only, and has been assessed as being of some importance. DISCUSSION VTT is a Council-controlled Organisation (CCO) responsible for delivering New Plymouth District Council’s active economic development initiatives. Under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA), the Venture Taranaki Trustees (the Trustees) must present a draft Statement of Intent (SOI) each year for the Council to review. The Trustees develop an annual business plan focusing on the business support and services, sector support and interventions, and project work the Trust will undertake in 2016/17. This was submitted to the Council and forms the basis of these quarterly performance monitoring reports. The 2016/17 Business Plan is broken into four interrelated sections – business support and services, sector support and services (including a specific visitor industry sub- section), projects, and partnerships. Council officers received the VTT 2016/17 Quarter One report on 18 October 2016 (see Appendix One). The report is a summary only, recognising that the six-monthly report will be more substantive as per outcomes of a review of VTT. FINANCIAL AND RESOURCING IMPLICATIONS There are no new financial and resourcing implications arising from this information report. The VTT quarterly report includes a forecast versus actual budget summary and project and activity breakdown for the quarter. 7 1 Performance Committee Agenda - Decision - VTT Quarterly Performance Report to 30 September 2016 Item For Decision IMPLICATIONS ASSESSMENT This report confirms that the matter concerned has no particular implications and has been dealt with in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002.

The work programme of Venture Taranaki is defined by its agreed business plan for the 2016-2017 year. Submitted to New Plymouth District Council: 18 October 2016 QUARTER 1 / 2016-2017 In an economic landscape where our core industries are under price pressure from global forces, the move to diversify our region’s income streams becomes increasingly important. An impetus continues in many of the industries that perhaps get less attention than energy and dairying, with manufacturing and tourism building strong momentum. The broader manufacturing sector contributes $888 million to Taranaki’s GDP – 11 percent of the regional total – and results in 8,619 jobs. Dairy manufacturing contributes more than 20 percent of these positions, as does combined metal, machinery and engineering. Tourism has been another strong performer over recent months, with the sector further helping Taranaki manage the impacts of global commodity fluctuations. Regional visitor numbers grew 8.5 percent year-on-year to the end of June, which compares to nationwide growth of 5.8 percent –
