The Auditor-General has appointed me, David Borrie, using the staff and resources of Ernst & Young, to report on the information in the District Council’s annual report that we are required to audit under the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). We refer to this information as “the audited information” in our report. We are also required to report on: - whether the District Council has complied with the requirements of Schedule 10 of the Act that apply to the annual report; and - the completeness and accuracy of the District Council’s disclosures about its performance against benchmarks that are required by the Local Government (Financial Reporting and Prudence) Regulations 2014. We refer to this information as “the disclosure requirements” in our report. We completed our work on 25 September 2020. This is the date on which we give our report. Opinion on the audited information In our opinion: - the financial statements on pages 132 to 176: - present fairly, in all material respects: - the District Council’s and Group’s financial position as at 30 June 2020; - the results of the operations and cash flows for the year ended on that date; and - comply with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand in accordance with Public Benefit Entity Reporting Standards; - the funding impact statement on page 179, presents fairly, in all material respects, the amount of funds produced from each source of funding and how the funds were applied as compared to the information included in the District Council’s annual plan; - the statement of service provision (referred to as “Our Activities”) on pages 52 to 128: - presents fairly, in all material respects, the levels of service for each group of activities for the year ended 30 June 2020, including: - the levels of service achieved compared with the intended levels of service and whether any intended changes to levels of service were achieved; - the reasons for any significant variation between the levels of service achieved and the intended levels of service; and - complies with generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand; and - the statement about capital expenditure for each group of activities on pages 52 to 128, presents fairly, in all material respects, actual capital expenditure as compared to the budgeted capital expenditure included in the District Council’s Annual Plan; and - the funding impact statement for each group of activities on pages 179 to 188, presents fairly, in all material respects, the amount of funds produced from each source of funding and how the funds were applied as compared to the information included in the District Council’s Annual plan. Gisborne District Council | Annual Report 2019/20 7 Audit Report | Pūrongo Arotake Pūtea Report on the disclosure requirements We report that the District Council has: - complied with the requirements of Schedule 10 of the Act that apply to the annual report; and - made the disclosures about performance against benchmarks as required by the Local Government (Financial Reporting and Prudence Regulations 2014) on pages 176 to 178, which represent a complete list of required disclosures and accurately reflects the information drawn from the District Council and Group’s audited information and, where applicable, the District Council’s Annual plan. Basis for our opinion on the audited information We carried out our audit in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the Professional and Ethical Standards and the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. We describe our responsibilities under those standards further in the “Responsibilities of the auditor for the audited information” section of this report. We have fulfilled our responsibilities in accordance with the Auditor-General’s Auditing Standards. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion on the audited information. Emphasis of Matter Impact of Covid-19 Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to the disclosures about the impact of Covid-19 on the District Council as set out in the notes to the financial statements, including Note 1B.

  • Raising Anxiety to Construct the Nation: Heartland – a Case Study

    Raising Anxiety to Construct the Nation: Heartland – a Case Study

    1 Raising Anxiety to Construct the Nation: Heartland – A Case Study Philippa K Smith Centre for Communication Research AUT University Abstract Television is recognised as one of the best mediums to effectively access a great number of people within a nation and unite them by communicating stories which help them understand and feel they belong to a country. Shared meanings of nationhood are constructed in narrative form (Barker, 1999) and it is television's use of images that adds character and places it in a superior position to radio and print in eliciting a direct response from the audience (Corner, 1995). This paper uses critical discourse analysis to examine the narrative structure of an episode of the New Zealand television series Heartland, titled “East Coast – Towards the Light” to investigate the way it constructs a national identity for New Zealanders. It is argued that the programme uses a narrative structure similar to that described by French structuralist Tzevetan Todorov (1971) of equilibrium-disequilibrium-equilibrium whereby anxieties are raised within the audience psyche and then resolved in order to convey a positive message for New Zealanders - that in spite of differences whether ethnic, cultural or socio-economic - they can all be part of a united nation. Seeking a National Identity The television programme Heartland first broadcast in 1992 enabled other New Zealanders to visit and experience places they may have never been to before and see the other kinds of people who shared their country’s citizenship. It was a documentary series hosted by a popular New Zealand celebrity Gary McCormick who, in each episode, travelled to a different place in New Zealand, visiting mostly rural locations and connecting with the locals who lived there to show other New Zealanders the life that existed beyond the suburbs.

  • Schedule G15 : Aquatic Ecosystem Waterbodies

    Schedule G15 : Aquatic Ecosystem Waterbodies

    Schedule G15 : Aquatic Ecosystem Waterbodies Note: This Schedule was formerly Schedule 1 of the Regional Freshwater Plan. Schedule G15 contains a list of Aquatic Ecosystem Waterbodies. There are five parts to the Schedule. Schedule G15A contains the nationally and regionally significant habitats and migratory habits of native fish. The schedule identifies: the catchment the waterbody is within; the name of the river/stream or lake and/or stream tributary schedule and a list of the native fish that are known to use the waterbodies for habitat and migration. The schedule was developed based on the work undertaken under the RIVAS studies identifying nationally and regionally significant native fish habitat. Schedule G15B contains the additional key habitats for Long Finned Eel – a nationally threatened native species which the Gisborne region is recognised as providing a national stronghold for populations. The schedule identifies: the catchment the waterbody is within and the name of the river and/or stream tributary schedule where long finned eel populations are known to exist. Schedule G15C contains the freshwater habitats of threatened indigenous flora and fauna. The schedule identifies: the catchment the waterbody is within; the name of the river/stream or lake/wetland/river mouth and the threatened species present in the waterbody. Schedule G15D contains the known whitebait spawning sites in the region. The schedule contains the catchment, river or stream and location of the spawning site. Schedule G15E contains the important habitats of trout. The schedule contains the catchment, river or stream. It also outlines whether the stream is a nationally, regionally or locally significant habitat.
