Hon Steve Chadwick JP Mayor of Rotorua page 5 KUPU ARATAKI INTRODUCTION Welcome to Rotorua Lakes Council’s Annual Plan 2019/20. This Plan represents the second year of our Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (LTP). It sets the budget and work plan for the year from 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020 and identifies what has changed from the LTP. It sets Council’s direction for the year, and provides accountability to the community. Long Term Plan or Annual Plan? Every three years we develop a Long Term Plan (LTP) in consultation with the community. It sets our direction, budgets and work plans for the following 10 years. The LTP 2018-2028 was finalised in June 2018, following substantial community input. The LTP is our action plan, it connects delivery to the vision and provides detail on all our activities. It sets our Council’s Financial Strategy, details our performance measures and provides the rationale for delivery of our activities, amongst other things. This should be the first port of call if you require additional information. 2017/18 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 2026/27 2027/28 2028/29 2029/30 2030/31 2031/32 AP 2018 Yr 3 LTP 2015 LTP 2018-28 AP 2019/20 Yr 2 LTP 2018 AP 2020/21 Yr 3 LTP 2018 LTP 2021-31 The two years following an LTP, we develop Annual Plans / annual budget. Essentially this is an update to what we agreed through the LTP. It highlights our budgets and work plans for the year. Any significant or material changes are consulted on with the community. This process allows us to make sure that our budgets and work plans are flexible enough to respond to the needs of the community and the demands of growth. This document sets out the changes to what we had planned for year two of the LTP (1 July 2019 – 30 June 2020). page 6 page 7 TE WHIRI MĀTĀRAE CIVIC LEADERSHIP HON STEVE CHADWICK MAYOR ROTORUA LAKES COUNCIL CR DAVE CR PETER CR MARK CR KAREN CR ROB DONALDSON QSM BENTLEY GOULD JP HUNT KENT DEPUTY MAYOR CR TREVOR CR RAJMESH CR MEREPEKA CR CHARLES CR TANIA MAXWELL MNZM KUMAR RAUKAWA-TAIT STURT TAPSELL CULTURAL AMBASSADOR ROTORUA LAKES COMMUNITY BOARD PHILL THOMASS JIM STANTON CR TANIA NICK CHATER CHAIR DEPUTY CHAIR FRED STEVENS TAPSELL COUNCILLOR REP ROTORUA RURAL COMMUNITY BOARD SHIRLEY TRUMPER CHRIS SUTTON CR MARK BRYCE HEARD CHAIR DEPUTY CHAIR BOB MARTIN GOULD JP COUNCILLOR REP page 8 TE TATAU O TE ARAWA THE TE ARAWA PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT TE TARU NGAROMA (MALA) EUGENE POTAUA WHITE GRANT BERRYMAN-KAMP BIASINY-TULE CHAIR DEPUTY CHAIR NGAHUIA DR KEN KINGI ERAIA HONA-PAKU KENNEDY BIDDLE TE PUKENGA KOEKE KIEL RANGATAHI REPRESENTATIVE RAINA GINA ANA GEOFFREY MEHA-RANGITAUIRA MOHI MORRISON ROLLESTON JUDE TE MAURI DAVID (RAWIRI) PANI TAIT KINGI WARU EXECUTIVE OFFICER page 9 Te Tatau o Te Arawa is the board which represents the collective interests of Te Arawa under the Te Arawa partnership agreement with Rotorua Lakes Council. The Te Tatau board of trustees comprises 14 members, representative of a cross section of Te Arawa stakeholders including koeke (elders), Ngati Whakaue, Te Arawa iwi and hapu, land trusts and incorporations, pan-Te Arawa entities and rangatahi (youth). Te Tatau o Te Arawa was established in 2015, following a robust 18-month process. Te Arawa (voting age members registered on the Te Arawa Lakes Trust register at the time) elected a board of 14 members to represent Te Arawa collective interests and guide the partnership with Council. The partnership agreement embodies the intention of Te Arawa and Rotorua Lakes Council to establish an enduring partnership which creates a future that benefits the community as a whole. Te Arawa and Council committed to the following goals: • provide a framework to work together towards improving Rotorua; • provide mechanisms and resources that help Te Arawa to participate in Council policy, planning and other decision-making processes; • facilitate the sharing of information to build better understanding that enhances collaboration and strategic thinking about Rotorua’s future; • assist Te Tatau to: • achieve a Te Arawa 2030 Vision, • support the council to grow its capacity and capability to effectively and meaningfully engage with Te Arawa hapu and iwi, • realise opportunities (that arise from time to time) that both parties agree are mutually beneficial, • assist Council with its decision-making and other processes, exercise of functions, and exercise of powers by meeting five objectives: • help Council meet its Rotorua 2030 commitment to effectively partner with Te Arawa; • improve the delivery of Council’s legal and statutory obligations to Maori; • strengthen Te Arawa’s participation in Council decision-making; • identify strategic opportunities to work closely together for the betterment of the Rotorua district; • build iwi capacity and capability to partner with local government. page 10 TE TIROHANGA WHAKAMUA OUR VISION KOINEI TŌ TĀTAU KĀINGA.
