SETTING ASIDE FORESTRY JOINT VENTURE SURPLUSES FOR PROJECTS APPROVED BY COUNCIL

MATTER

1. The matter for consideration by the Council is to consider allocating forestry surpluses (Council owned and joint ventures) to a new reserve to be used for funding projects approved by Council.

RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSIDERATION That having considered all matters raised in the report the Council approves the establishment of a new reserve funded from forestry surpluses to be used for funding projects approved by Council.

COMPLIANCE

Significance This matter is assessed as being of some importance. This report identifies and assesses the following reasonably practicable options for addressing the matter:

1. Approve the new reserve, funded from forestry surpluses, to be used for future funding projects approved by Council. Options 2. Approve the new reserve to be used for another purpose.

3. Do nothing and forestry surpluses will flow through to the general rates surplus.

The persons who are affected by or interested in this matter Affected Persons are all residents of the .

Recommendation This report recommends option 1.

Long-Term Plan / Annual Plan Yes Implications

Significant Policy and Plan No Inconsistencies

7 1 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Setting Aside Forestry Surpluses for projects approved by Council

BACKGROUND

2. The Council has three historical Forestry joint ventures and some ongoing owned forestry land, held for strategic purposes.

3. The joint ventures conclude following harvest, so are a one-off opportunity.

4. For the Council-owned larger sites like Colson Road and Lake Mangamahoe, if forestry remains the optimal land use, they are likely to be replanted and harvestable in the future (around every 30 years).

5. Harvest revenue, costs and profits were not included in the 2018-28 Long Term Plan.

6. Surplus from harvesting in this financial year is expected to be in the vicinity of $727k.

7. Future harvesting estimates are provided in the following table. Note that these estimates are based on current timber prices and costs of harvesting.

$'000 2018/19 2019/20 2020/21 2021/22 2022/23 2023/24 2024/25 2025/26 2026/27 2027/18

Joint Ventures 177 - - - 403 403 747 - - - Council Owned 550 - 1,100 - 80 - - - - 700 TOTAL 727 - 1,100 - 483 403 747 - - 700 ACCUMULATED TOTAL 727 727 1,827 1,827 2,310 2,712 3,459 3,459 3,459 4,159

8. If the option is taken to do nothing, the Treasury Management policy provides the Council with the option to use the rates surplus, of which the forestry surplus would contribute, to repay debt or apply against rates over the three years following the surplus.

SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

9. In accordance with the Council's Significance and Engagement Policy, this matter has been assessed as being of some importance because it gives the Council a reserve to draw upon for future projects.

OPTIONS

10. The following matters apply to all options:

a) Consistency with Policies and Plans The options are consistent with the Council's plans and policies, specifically the Treasury Management Policy.

b) Participation by Māori There has been no participation by Māori in relation to this matter.

8 1 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Setting Aside Forestry Surpluses for projects approved by Council

c) Community Views and Preferences The three options are consistent with the Treasury Management Policy. The policy was adopted following public consultation, and the community views and preferences were considered at that time.

d) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes Allocation of forestry surplus funds could help achieve community outcomes, promote Caring for our Place, and could promote Supporting a Prosperous Community.

e) Statutory Responsibilities There are no statutory responsibilities.

Option 1 & 2 Approve a new reserve

a) Financial and Resourcing Implications The accounting treatment of the surplus has no impact on other resourcing in the current financial year and could reduce rates impact in future years.

b) Risk Analysis There is no apparent risk to this option.

Option 3 Do nothing resulting and the forestry surplus will flow through to the rates surplus

a) Financial and Resourcing Implications If the forestry surplus flows through to the rates surplus, it could be applied to reduce debt.

b) Risk Analysis There is no apparent risk to this option.

Recommended Option This report recommends option 1. Approve the new reserve, funded from forestry surpluses, to be used for future funding projects approved by Council.

9 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

ANNUAL PLAN 2019/20 – PRELIMINARY DECISIONS

MATTER

1. The matter for consideration by the Council is preliminary decisions on the Annual Plan 2019/20 (the second year of the Long-Term Plan 2018-28), including agreeing to changes and determining whether or not to consult on the Annual Plan before adopting it.

RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSIDERATION

That having considered all matters raised in the report the Council: a) Note that the Long-Term Plan 2018-28 provides that the financial year 2019/20 has a forecast 4.98 per cent total rates increase b) Agree to the proposed changes contained in the attached draft Annual Plan 2019/20 from the Long-Term Plan 2018-28 with a reduced rates requirement increase from 4.98 per cent to 4.60 per cent, resulting in the average residential rate increasing 3.82 per cent (being $86.03 per annum or $1.65 per week) c) Determines that none of the changes contained in the initial draft Annual Plan 2019/20 are significant or material variations from the Long-Term Plan and therefore statutory consultation on the Annual Plan 2019/20 is not required d) Instruct staff to develop and undertake an informal community conversation to inform planning and implementation of the following projects:

i) The future use of the Colson Road landfill post-closure

ii) The extension of the Coastal Walkway from Bell Block to Waitara

iii) Enhancing the Council’s role in the Towards Predator-Free Taranaki initiative, and e) Notes that a finalised draft Annual Plan will be presented to the Council for adoption on 21 May 2019.

10 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

COMPLIANCE

Significance This matter is assessed as being significant

This report identifies and assesses the following reasonably practicable options for addressing the matter:

Annual Plan contents 1. Agree to the changes contained in the initial draft Annual Plan

2. Agree to different changes for the Annual Plan

Options Annual Plan consultation 1. Do not formally consult the community on the Annual Plan as there are no significant or material changes from the publicly consulted on LTP

2. Formally consult the community on the Annual Plan

3. Undertake an informal community conversation to obtain public feedback to support decisions

The persons who are affected by or interested in this matter Affected persons are the residents and ratepayers of New Plymouth district.

This report recommends options 1 and 3 for addressing the Recommendation matter.

Long-Term Plan / Annual Plan Yes Implications

Significant Policy and Plan No Inconsistencies

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. This report presents the Council with preliminary decisions on the Annual Plan 2019/20.The report recommends that the Council determine that there are no significant or material variations from the Long-Term Plan 2018-28 and as a result no need to formally consult with the community on the Annual Plan under section 95(2A) of the Local Government Act 2002. However, it is recommended the Council undertake a community conversation to provide feedback for the planning and implementation of key projects.

11 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

3. The proposed Annual Plan is predominately the same as the publicly consulted on Long-Term Plan although has a lower rates increase than forecast and there are some minor changes to the capital works programme. The increase in rates for the 2019/20 Annual Plan is 4.60 per cent. This is below the forecast increase in the LTP of 4.98 per cent and below the 5 per cent cap in the LTP. This will result in an increase in the average residential rate of 3.82 per cent, approximately $1.65 more per week ($86.03 per annum). This is $22.55 per annum (or 59 cents per week) lower than forecast by the LTP.

4. If the Council agrees to this approach, staff will finalise the Annual Plan 2019/20 for adoption on 21 May.

BACKGROUND

5. The Annual Plan sets the Council’s annual budget and work programme. The Annual Plan 2019/20 is the second year of the Long-Term Plan 2018-28 (the LTP). The LTP forms the starting point for developing the Annual Plan, with adjustments made. Consultation is only required if there are significant or material variations from the LTP to the proposed Annual Plan. The following diagram provides a high-level overview of the Annual Plan process.

6. The following table summarises the small differences from the LTP and the proposed Annual Plan.

Long-Term Proposed Plan for Movement Annual Plan Variation 2019/20 2019/20 Total rates $96.7m $96.3m -$0.04m requirement ↓ Total rates increase 4.98% ↓ 4.60% -0.38% percentage Total operating $155.93m $153.68m -$2.25m expenditure ↓ Total capital $49.84m $49.64m -$0.2m expenditure ↓ PIF release $9.88m ↓ $9.87m -$0.01m Net external $169.81m $168.67m -$1.14m debt ↓ Interest expense $8.40m ↓ $7.43m -$0.97m

Proposed Annual Plan projects and work programme

7. The proposed Annual Plan includes a number of projects across the district that contribute towards the Council’s vision of Building a Lifestyle Capital, including:

a) Beginning work on the extension of the Coastal Walkway from Bell Block to Waitara

b) Significant investment in improving the resilience of the water network, including new reservoirs, upgrades to pump stations, pipe bridges, existing reservoirs and the general water network

c) Upgrading the Ōākura Water Treatment Plant to ensure it continues to meet Drinking Water Standards

d) Construction of a new road in to connect Banks Street and Discovery Place to Cook Street

e) Rolling out zero waste initiatives from the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan with improvements to the kerbside collection service, including replacing bags with bins and a new food waste collection service

f) Closure of the Colson Road landfill

g) Funding for the 2019 triennial election

13 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

h) Replacement of the Tongaporutu toilet

i) Renewal and upgrade to the Thermal Dryer and the Waste Water Treatment Plant

Variations from Long-Term Plan to Annual Plan

8. The LTP has been used as the building block for the Annual Plan. Below are the capital and operating expenditure variations from the LTP to the Annual Plan.

9. There are some small variations to the capital works programme from the LTP for the 2019/20 financial year to the proposed Annual Plan. Many of these are small changes, with the most significant being:

Removed  Road carpark – the LTP included contingency projects funding for the Council to undertake this work if not funded by the Tourism Infrastructure Fund. As $0.7m of funding was received, this project has been completed in 2018/19 and no further funding is required

New projects  Maranui stormwater upgrades of $0.35m to resolve flooding issues on Maranui Street in New Plymouth

 The construction of additional storage for TSB Stadium for $0.25m

Postponed  A new $0.31m water pump station for the Upper projects Carrington growth area has been rescheduled to 2020/21 to align with rezoning timeframes in the District Plan review

 An upgrade to the Huatoki Valley sewer main ($0.21m) has also been rescheduled to 2020/21 to align with rezoning timeframes in the Upper Carrington growth area

 The Waste Water Treatment Plant influent buffer lagoon ($0.77m) has been rescheduled to 2020/21 to provide more time to plan the upgrade

 Funding of $0.16m for storm water upgrades in Waitara has been rescheduled (with the Annual Plan still containing $0.35m) reflecting that planning work is not yet finalised, however the Annual Plan still includes funding to undertake storm water upgrades around Owae Marae

14 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

Increased  The replacement of the Tongaporutu toilet requires an scope additional $0.26m as the disposal field also requires replacing as well as the toilet infrastructure and additional work is required to meet resource consent conditions

 An additional $0.8m is required for the New Plymouth Water Treatment Plant intake screening system in order to meet resource consent requirements

 The Ōākura Water Treatment Plant upgrade has increased by a further $0.50m to $2.04m as the bore requires re-drilling to ensure Drinking Water Standards continue to be met

 The Wastewater Treatment Plant laboratory expansion has increased by $0.25m to reflect additional earthquake proofing requirements.

10. The Council’s operating expenditure also has some variations from the LTP for the 2019/20 financial year to the proposed Annual Plan:

 The change from operating the Central Landfill to disposal at Bonny Glen Landfill has resulted in $0.27m reduction in expenses

 $0.5m for Water Master Planning is being funded from reserves instead of from current operational budgets

 Decrease of $0.25m for the Te Rewa Rewa bridge repainting as this has been moved forward to 2018/19

 Additional $0.12m cleaning for public toilets, reflecting additional pressure on use from population and tourism growth (including freedom camping)

 Standard annual variations, such as reflecting changing personnel costs (including moving contracting roles in-house), reduced borrowing costs reflecting changed interest rates and actual costs for projects (as opposed to forecast).

Rates

11. The increase in rates for the 2019/20 Annual Plan is 4.60 per cent. This is below the forecast increase in the LTP of 4.98 per cent and below the 5 per cent cap in the LTP. This results in the average residential rate increasing by 3.82 per cent, approximately $1.65 more per week or $86.03 more per annum. This is $22.55 per annum lower than forecast by the LTP. A substantial proportion of the rates increase is due to the Uniform Annual Refuse Charge increasing to

15 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

reflect the new kerbside collection system (particularly the new food waste collection). The increase in this charge represents more than 40 per cent of the increase in the average residential rate. Properties that do not receive the kerbside collection service (such as farms and commercial properties) have a lower rates increase than those that do.

12. The proposed Annual Plan also continues with the Council’s decision in the LTP to alter differentials and uniform charges in the rating system across years one to three. In this Annual Plan (year two), the small holding differential increases from 3.2% to 3.4%, and both the commercial/industrial differential and the farmlands differential each drop a further 0.1%. The Uniform Annual General Charge increases from $400 to $429.50 and the Uniform Annual Roading Charge increases from $122.50 to $130.

Finalisation of Annual Plan

13. Staff are still finalising the Annual Plan. There may be minor changes to budgets to reflect further refinements. Any amendments from the Council in considering this report will also need to be reflected in to the Annual Plan.

14. The attached initial draft Annual Plan does not include required forecasts as a result of the passage of the New Plymouth District Council (Waitara Lands) Act 2018. These forecasts have no rates implications, and instead account for forecast rents and freeholding revenue and the consequential flow through to various funds established by that Act. These are still being developed and will be incorporated into the final Annual Plan before it is adopted.

SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

15. In accordance with the Council's Significance and Engagement Policy, this matter has been assessed as significant because the Annual Plan sets out the budget and work programme for the 2019/20 financial year, thereby setting the Council’s levels of services, rates and capital work programme.

16. Consultation (through a consultation document focussed on the significant and/or material variations) on an Annual Plan is required under the Local Government Act 2002 only if there are significant or material variations from the relevant financial year of the Long-Term Plan to the draft Annual Plan. Otherwise, consultation is not required.

17. The Significant and Engagement Policy outlines the criteria for assessing significance (a significant decision is one with a high level of significance), while materiality is an accounting term. The criteria to assess significance in the Policy are:

 Does the matter impact on the interests of the district and the community?

16 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

 Does the matter impact on the relationship of Māori (including their culture and traditions) with their ancestral land, water, sites, waahi tapu, valued flora and fauna and other taonga?

 How many people are affected by the matter, to what degree are they affected, and what is the likely impact on those people?

 Does the matter impact on the Council’s statutory purpose, obligations, duties and requirements?

 Does the matter impact on levels of service as stated in the Council’s Long-Term Plan (LTP)?

 Does the matter have financial costs for the community and the Council?

 Is the matter reversible (in part or in full) in the future?

 Does the matter align with previous Council decisions, such as whether it is implementing any adopted strategy, plan or position?

 Has the matter previously generated wide public interest or controversy within the district or particular communities?

18. Staff advise that the proposed changes do not meet the threshold to be considered significant or material and thereby require consultation. However, the Council may determine that the changes are significant and/or material, and therefore require consultation. If Councillors agreed to further amendments to the draft Annual Plan, these changes could be significant or material and therefore trigger consultation. Any proposal that results in the rates increases being over 5 per cent is likely to trigger consultation as this is the cap set in the LTP.

19. If statutory consultation occurs because a change is identified as significant or material, then a consultation document will be presented to the Council for adoption in late February. Consultation will occur from 9 March to 11 April, with hearings on 1 May and deliberations on 21 May. A final Annual Plan will be adopted on 11 June.

20. If statutory consultation does not occur, then the Council has two options:

 Firstly an information campaign could occur to provide the community with information about the Annual Plan 2019/20. This will focus on how the Annual Plan helps the Council in Building a Lifestyle Capital. The Annual Plan will then be adopted on 9 April.

 Alternatively, the Council could undertake an informal community conversation on a number of matters related to the Annual Plan to hear public feedback to help inform project delivery and future planning. The

17 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

community conversation would enable the community to help shape projects. There are three potential topics – the Coastal Walkway extension to Waitara, the future use of Colson Road landfill, and increasing the Council’s role in the Towards Predator-Free Taranaki initiative. These are outlined in more detail in the options assessment section of this report. This would not be consultation on whether or not to include these projects in the Annual Plan. Under this community conversation approach, the responses would be presented back to the Council along with the Annual Plan for adoption on 21 May 2019. This is the recommended approach.

OPTIONS

21. There are two key decisions being made. Firstly to determine the Annual Plan content. Secondly, whether to consult on the Annual Plan or not. These decisions have been assessed separately.

Annual Plan content

Option 1 Agree to the changes contained in the draft Annual Plan

Under this option, the Council would agree to the changes between the LTP and the draft Annual Plan attached to this report. a) Financial and Resourcing Implications The proposed Annual Plan includes $49.64 million of capital expenditure and $153.68 million of operating expenditure. The total rates sought is $96.3 million, reflecting an increase of 4.60 per cent from the 2018/19 rates strike. The average residential rates bill will increase by 4.19 per cent or $1.81 per week. b) Risk Analysis The proposed Annual Plan includes the forecast LGCI inflation rate used in developing the LTP (2.0 per cent for both opex and capex). The most recent forecasts for the LGCI are slightly higher (3.2 per cent for opex and 3.4 per cent for capex). Using a lower inflation rate promotes costs savings of 1.2 to 1.4 per cent in budgets. While staff are confident that these savings can be achieved, there is a risk that actual costs (such as tenders for projects) are higher than budgeted for. This will be mitigated through the use of improved procurement processes, careful management of projects and standard contingency budgets. c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes The proposed Annual Plan includes funding for a wide variety of activities that help achieve all three community outcomes of People, Place and Prosperity.

18 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

d) Statutory Responsibilities The Local Government Act 2002 requires the Council to adopt an Annual Plan by 30 June. The Annual Plan must include specific issues. The proposed Annual Plan does not yet include information required by the recently passed New Plymouth District Council (Waitara Lands) Act 2018, and that information will be included before the Annual Plan is formally adopted. e) Consistency with Policies and Plans The Annual Plan includes funding to achieve a number of policies and plans, including key investment in the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan 2017. f) Participation by Māori No specific consultation with Māori has occurred. A number of iwi, hapū and other Māori groups were consulted as part of the LTP process and have also been involved in developing some projects. g) Community Views and Preferences Community views and preferences were sought during the LTP process. More than 4,000 submissions were received. h) Advantages and Disadvantages The proposed Annual Plan is largely similar to the LTP forecasts for 2019/20. However, overall the rates increase is lower at 4.60 per cent rather than 4.98 per cent. The proposed Annual Plan includes some changes to capital projects from the LTP, but there are no changes that considerably alter levels of service.

Option 2 Agree to different changes for the Annual Plan

Under this option, the Council would resolve to adopt the draft Annual Plan, subject to further changes (such as including or excluding capital projects). a) Financial and Resourcing Implications Any amendments that increase capital or operating expenditure need to be cognisant of the 5 per cent cap on rates increases in any given year adopted in the LTP. Any significant amendments may require additional resourcing. Similarly, any amendments that remove expenditure may result in decreased rates requirement and reduce resourcing requirements. b) Risk Analysis Whether the amendment has significant risks associated with it depends on the details of the amendment. c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes Whether the amendment helps promote or achieve a community outcome depends on the details of the amendment.

19 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

d) Statutory Responsibilities The Local Government Act allows for Annual Plans to differ from the LTP, however any significant or material variations must be consulted on. e) Consistency with Policies and Plans Any amendments that are not consistent with policies and plans are more likely to trigger consultation under the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. f) Participation by Māori No specific engagement with Māori has occurred to determine whether further amendments to the proposed Annual Plan are supported by Māori. g) Community Views and Preferences Community views and preferences were sought during the LTP process. More than 4,000 submissions were received. h) Advantages and Disadvantages The proposed Annual Plan has a balance between investing in achieving the Council’s vision and ensuring that rates do not increase too quickly. Any significant amendments may either limit the ability to achieve the Council’s vision or have a rates rise that some in the community may struggle to afford.

Annual Plan Consultation

Option 1 Do not formally consult the community on the Annual Plan as there are no material changes from the publically consulted on LTP

Under this option, the Council would determine that the variations from the LTP to the Annual Plan are not significant or material variations, and therefore the requirements to consult on the Annual Plan would not be triggered. Instead, the Council would undertake an information campaign on the Annual Plan, focusing on how the Annual Plan contributes towards Building a Lifestyle Capital. a) Financial and Resourcing Implications There will be costs associated with finalising the Annual Plan, as well as costs in informing the community about the details of the Annual Plan. b) Risk Analysis There may be some in the community that consider the Council will consult on each and every annual plan, and may react negatively to a decision not to consult. c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes This option has no implications on the Council’s community outcomes.

20 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

d) Statutory Responsibilities The Local Government Act 2002 provides that the Council only has to consult on the Annual Plan if there are significant or material variations from the relevant year of the Long-Term Plan. The Council is not obligated to undertake consultation on the Annual Plan. e) Consistency with Policies and Plans This option is consistent with the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. f) Participation by Māori This option would limit the ability of Māori to participate in the Annual Plan process. g) Community Views and Preferences The Council extensively consulted on the LTP, and this Annual Plan is largely continuing with the decisions made following that consultation. Community views and preferences on whether to consult on the proposed Annual Plan are not known. h) Advantages and Disadvantages This option reflects that the Council has determined there are not significant or material variations requiring consultation. It would reduce staff and councillor time pressures. There are not significant proposals in the proposed Annual Plan requiring consultation.

Option 2 Formally consult the community on the Annual Plan

Under this option, the Council would resolve that one or more identified changes being made are significant or material variations from the LTP to the draft Annual Plan and that statutory consultation is required. The attached initial draft Annual Plan would be adopted as supporting information for the consultation document. A consultation document would be developed and presented for adoption in late February. The consultation document would focus on the significant or material variation(s) identified in the resolution.

Note that if the Council made amendments to the draft Annual Plan those amendments may trigger this option becoming the recommended option if those changes were significant or material variations from the LTP. a) Financial and Resourcing Implications There will be some increased costs from option 1 associated with developing a consultation document, making that consultation document available to the public, receiving and assessing submissions, and making decisions. b) Risk Analysis There is a risk that any consultation receives few submissions, reflective of the fact that the changes from the LTP to the proposed Annual Plan are not likely to cause considerable community interest.

21 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes This option has no implications on the Council’s community outcomes. d) Statutory Responsibilities The Local Government Act 2002 provides that the Council only has to consult on the Annual Plan if there are significant or material variations from the relevant year of the Long-Term Plan. Therefore, in order to consult on the proposed Annual Plan the Council must determine that there are significant or material variations. The consultation document must then focus on these significant or material variations. e) Consistency with Policies and Plans The Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy notes that the significance assessment provided to the Council is advice, and the Council may determine to identify items as being more, or less, significant than the advice received. Therefore, this option is consistent with Significance and Engagement Policy. f) Participation by Māori This option would enable iwi, hapū and other Māori groups to be consulted on the Annual Plan. g) Community Views and Preferences Community views and preferences on whether to consult on the proposed Annual Plan are not known. h) Advantages and Disadvantages Some people in the community may expect consultation on every Annual Plan, regardless of the 2014 law change.

Option 3 Undertake an informal community conversation to obtain public feedback to support decisions made

Under this option, the Council would resolve that there are not significant or material variations from the LTP to the draft Annual Plan. The Council would, however, determine to engage the community on a range of matters related to the Annual Plan and future planning decisions. These would not be questions on whether or not to undertake a project, but rather help shape and inform what that project(s) should entail within its existing budget.

This approach would not be statutory consultation, so a consultation document and formal hearings and deliberations would not be held. Instead, staff would develop an engaging community conversation on the project topics. The responses would be presented back to the Council with the Annual Plan for adoption.

The proposed discussion points are: i) A new lease of life for Colson Rd The Colson Rd landfill site is closing this year, as our community’s Zero Waste 2040 journey continues. The proposed Annual Plan includes $0.97m for closure works at Colson Rd and the LTP includes $0.39m in 2025/26 for recreational development. We’ve got a unique opportunity for some blue-sky thinking about what we do on this 72ha piece of land. Staff have already started to initiate engagement with the local hapū and neighbouring residents, but NPDC could seek the wider community’s feedback to help shape the planning of the future development and that may also help to plan how we go about the final land- capping works. ii) Your walkway, your choice The Coastal Walkway is an icon in our district and nation-wide. It’s been loved for more than 17 years and more than 41,000 people use it every month in summer. The proposed Annual Plan includes $1.66m to extend the walkway from Bell Block to Waitara with a further $6.87m in the LTP for 2020/21. NPDC could seek community feedback to help with design work for the extension. It could include asking whether the community wants to see features such as viewing platforms, artworks, community picnic areas etc. This would help to inform further co-design opportunities with iwi and hapū and demonstrate community engagement for the NZTA business case process. iii) Enhancing the Council’s role in the Towards Predator-Free Taranaki initiative Our community treasures its green spaces, bush and natural heritage and we need to protect our natural ecosystems for generations to come. NPDC already supports predator-free initiatives and reducing predator numbers in our parks and reserves. With the growing success of the project there is potential for NPDC to ask if we’re doing enough to protect our rohe. The community could be asked for its views on whether NPDC should provide additional support to the war on pests, or look at other ways we could invest to fight other threats to our ecosystems. a) Financial and Resourcing Implications There will be some costs associated with developing a community consultation, promoting it to the public, receiving and assessing feedback, and reporting it to the Council. b) Risk Analysis There is a risk that some in the community may treat the process as Annual Plan consultation and seek the inclusion/exclusion of projects. c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes This option has no implications on the Council’s community outcomes.

23 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2

d) Statutory Responsibilities The Local Government Act 2002 provides that the Council only has to consult on the Annual Plan if there are significant or material variations from the relevant year of the Long-Term Plan. Even if there are no significant or material variations, the Council can choose to seek input into projects, but this is not statutory consultation under the Act. e) Consistency with Policies and Plans This approach is consistent with the Significance and Engagement Policy as it seeks to involve the community into project delivery. f) Participation by Māori This option would enable iwi, hapū and other Māori groups to be able to participate in decisions around project delivery. Representatives from Puketapu hapū have already been involved in discussions around the route for the Walkway to Waitara. g) Community Views and Preferences Community views and preferences on whether to consult on the projects Plan are not known. h) Advantages and Disadvantages Some people in the community may expect consultation on every Annual Plan, regardless of the 2014 law change.

Recommended Option This report recommends options 1 (Agree to the changes contained in the initial draft Annual Plan) and 3 (Undertake an informal community conversation to obtain public feedback to support decisions made) for addressing the matter.

Waste Management and Minimisation

The waste management and minimisation service includes waste and recycling collection from households and schools within defined areas of the district. Our kerbside collection includes mixed recyclables, glass and solid waste. We also operate four transfer stations, the Colson Road Regional Landfill and the New Plymouth Resource Recovery Facility (which includes a transfer station run by a private operator).

The service collects around 6,700 tonnes of solid waste and 5,800 tonnes of recyclable materials from more than 28,100 residential premises each year. Our transfer stations and the Resource Recovery Facility handle non- hazardous solid waste, including around 950 tonnes of green waste, 1,000 tonnes of recyclable materials and 17,500 tonnes of solid waste per year. The Resource Recovery Facility also accepts 2,500 tonnes of recycling from the Stratford and South Taranaki districts.

The Colson Road Regional Landfill takes around 42,000 tonnes of waste from the New Plymouth, Stratford and South Taranaki districts annually, disposing of it to an environmentally acceptable standard. We also promote waste minimisation, delivering educational programmes to businesses and schools across the district.

Water Supply

The Council’s water supply service treats and distributes water that we source from groundwater bores and rivers in the district. We develop, operate and maintain water treatment plants to meet water quality standards. We also manage pump stations, pipe networks and storage facilities such as reservoirs to ensure our community has a reliable and sustainable supply of fresh water. There are four separate water supplies in the district: New Plymouth (includes , Bell Block, Waitara and Urenui), Inglewood, Ōākura and Okato. Combined, these facilities supply approximately 28 million litres of water per day to just over 28,000 households and businesses in defined urban and rural areas. We ensure our water supply complies with the Drinking Water Standards and that it is used sustainably, particularly when demand is high. We also make sure there is water available for firefighting in urban areas.

Economic Development

We work collaboratively with other councils, central government and other agencies in the region to develop and improve the local economy. This includes directly funding and overseeing Venture Taranaki Trust, the Council-controlled organisation responsible for economic development and tourism industry support services in the district. Venture Taranaki Trust also has agreements with South Taranaki District Council and Stratford District Council to deliver similar services in those districts.

The Council’s priorities for economic development are set out in Tapuae Roa: Make Way for Taranaki – the Regional Economic Development Strategy and Action Plan adopted in February 2018. The Strategy takes a cross-regional approach, focusing on unlocking opportunities for economic growth in the region. The Strategy’s mission statement: Taranaki, where talent becomes enterprise – Kia eke panuku, captures the regional vision for Taranaki as a place that offers an attractive lifestyle for talented people, in a high value economy.

INITIAL DRAFT

61 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2.1

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation New Plymouth District Council (the Council) is a territorial authority established under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) and is domiciled and operates in New Zealand. The relevant legislation governing the Council’s operations includes the LGA and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 (LG(R)A).

The group consists of the ultimate parent, New Plymouth District Council and its subsidiaries:

• Papa Rererangi i Puketapu Limited (100% owned). • New Plymouth PIF Guardians Limited (100% owned). • Venture Taranaki Trust (100% owned). • Tarata Ngatimaru Pukehou Joint Venture (60% owned) - ceased on 31 October 2018, • McKay Family Joint Venture (56.5% owned). • Duthie Joint Venture (54.82% owned). • Tasmanian Land Company Limited (100% owned).

Statement of Compliance The prospective financial statements (financial statements) of the Council and Group have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the LGA and the Local Government (Financial Reporting and Prudence) Regulations 2014, which include the requirement to comply with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP).

As the primary objective of the Council and Group is to provide goods or services for community and social benefit, rather than making a financial return, the Council and Group are public benefit entities (PBEs) for the purpose of complying with NZ GAAP.

For the purposes of the plan, the financial statements cover all the activities of the Council as a separate legal entity. Group prospective financial statements have not been presented as the Council believes that parent statements are more relevant to users.

The main purpose of these statements is to provide users with information about the core services that the Council intends to provide to ratepayers, the expected cost of those services and the consequent requirement for rate funding. The level of rate funding required is not affected by subsidiaries except to the extent that the Council obtains distributions from, or further invests in, those subsidiaries and such effects are included in these parent prospective financial statements.

The financial statements include a Prospective Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense, a Prospective Statement of Changes in Net Assets/Equity, a Prospective Statement of Financial Position and a Prospective Statement of Cash Flows.

The financial statements of the Council are for the years ending 30 June. The prospective financial statements were authorised for issue by the Council on XXXXXXX. Whilst there is no current intent to update these prospective financial statements, the Council reserves the right to update this plan in the future.

The financial information contained within these policies and documents is prospective financial information in terms of PBE FRS 42 Prospective Financial Statements. The Prospective Financial Statements comply with the Tier 1 PBE Standards (including PBE FRS 42 - Prospective Financial Statements).

The information in the prospective financial statements is uncertain and the preparation requires the exercise of judgement. Actual financial results achieved for the period covered are likely to vary from the information presented, and the variations may be material. Events and circumstances may not occur as expected or may not have been predicted or Council may subsequently take actions that differ from the proposed courses of action on which the prospective financial statements are based.

62 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2.1

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

The information contained within these prospective financial statements may not be suitable for use in another capacity.

The accounting policies set our below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in these prospective financial statements.

Measurement base The prospective financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis modified by revaluation of certain assets and liabilities.

The prospective financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless otherwise stated.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES a) Basis of consolidation The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Council and enterprises controlled by the Council. The consolidated financial statements are prepared adding together like items on a line by line basis. All significant inter-company transactions and balances between group enterprises are eliminated on consolidation. The Council consolidates in the Group financial statements all entities where the Council has the capacity to control their financing and operating policies so as to obtain benefits from the activities of the subsidiary. This power exists where the Council controls the majority voting power on the governing body or where such policies have been irreversibly predetermined by the Council or where the determination of such policies is unable to materially affect the level of potential ownership benefits that arise from the activities of the subsidiary. The Council’s investment in the following subsidiaries is carried at cost in the parent entity financial statements: Papa Rererangi i Puketapu Limited, New Plymouth PIF Guardians Limited and Venture Taranaki Trust. The Council’s investment in Tasmanian Land Company Limited has been classified as a financial asset at fair value through surplus or deficit. b) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ PBE IPSAS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenue and expense. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, at the time. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The most significant is our estimate of the economic life of assets which impacts on depreciation. c) Property, plant and equipment The Council has the following classes of property, plant and equipment: • Operational assets. • Restricted assets. • Infrastructural assets. Operational assets include land, buildings (including any improvements), vehicles, furniture, fittings and equipment and library books. Restricted assets include land and buildings that are subject to either restrictions on use, or disposal, or both. This includes restrictions from legislation (such as land declared as a reserve under the Reserves Act 1977) or other restrictions (such as land or buildings under bequest or donation that restricts the purpose for which the assets can be used).

INITIAL DRAFT ANNUAL PLAN 2019/20 3

63 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Annual Plan 2019/20 - Preliminary Decisions 2.1

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

Infrastructural assets usually display some or all of the following characteristics: part of a system or network, specialised in nature and usually do not have alternative uses, immoveable and they may be subject to constraints on disposal. Examples are road networks, sewer systems and water systems.

Additions Additions between valuations are recorded at cost, except for vested assets. Cost represents the value of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly attributable costs that have been incurred in bringing the assets to the location and condition necessary for their intended use. Certain infrastructural assets and land have been vested in Council as part of the subdivisional consent process. The vested reserve land has been initially recognised at the most recent appropriately certified government valuation which is their deemed cost. Vested infrastructural assets are initially valued based on the actual quantities of infrastructural components vested and the current “in the ground” cost of providing identical services and this is their deemed cost.

Disposals On the sale or retirement of a revalued asset, the attributable revaluation profit remaining, net of any related deferred taxes, in the revaluation reserve is transferred directly to accumulated funds. The gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an asset is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Subsequent costs Costs incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised only when it is probable that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item will flow to the Council and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant, and equipment are recognised in the surplus or deficit as they are incurred.

Revaluation of property, plant and equipment is accounted for on a class of asset basis All property, plant and equipment except for operational motor vehicles, furniture, fittings and equipment and work-in- progress are re-valued with sufficient regularity to ensure that their carrying amount does not differ materially from fair value, at least every three years. Fair value is determined by reference to the depreciated replacement cost or market value on an asset class basis. The carrying values of revalued assets are assessed annually to ensure they do not differ materially from the assets’ fair values. The net revaluation results are credited or debited to other comprehensive revenue and expense and are accumulated to an asset revaluation reserve in equity for that class of asset. Where this would result in a debit balance in the asset revaluation reserve, this balance is not recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense but is recognised in the surplus or deficit. Any subsequent increase on revaluation that reverses a previous decrease in value recognised in the surplus or deficit will be recognised first in the surplus or deficit up to the amount previously expensed and then recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense.

Depreciation Operational assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis, except for land which is not depreciated. The useful lives of depreciated asset classes are as follows:

Asset class Estimated useful lives Builidngs/improvements 20 to 100 years Vehicles 3 to 20 years Furniture, fittings and equipment 3 to 10 years Puke Ariki book collection (general in-use) 2 to 15 years

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

Restricted assets includes parks and reserves land which can only be disposed of after following a rigorous legal and public consultation process. Restricted assets also include the Puke Ariki museum collection and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery/Len Lye Centre collection. Parks and reserves is land which is not depreciated. The museum and art gallery collections are heritage assets and are not depreciated as it is Council policy to maintain the collections in their current state. Infrastructural assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis. The useful lives are as follows:

Asset class Estimated useful lives Roads 5 to 100 years Laboratory 8 to 30 years Solid waste 35 to 100 years Stormwater 50 to 140 years Floof protection 50 to 200 years Water 10 to 120 years Wastewater 10 to 140 years New Plymouth Airport runway/services 5 to 100 years d) Non-current assets held for sale Properties no longer required in the Council’s operations and therefore intended for sale have been measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less selling costs. These are tested for impairment on an annual basis and any write-downs are recognised in the surplus or deficit. Non-current assets held for sale are not depreciated or amortised. e) Equity The LGA requires the Council to manage its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings prudently and in a manner that promotes the current and future interests of the community. Ratepayers’ funds are largely managed as a by-product of managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings. Equity is the community’s interest in the Council and is measured as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Public equity is disaggregated and classified into a number of reserves to enable clearer identification of the special uses that the Council intends to make of its accumulated surpluses. The components of equity are: • Accumulated Funds. • Ordinary Reserves. • Restricted Reserves. • Property Revaluation Reserves.

Accumulated funds Accumulated funds are the capital fund made up of accumulated surpluses and deficits. A surplus in any year is added to the fund and a deficit in any year and deducted from the fund. Ordinary reserves are reserves created by Council decision. The Council may alter the purpose of a reserve without reference to a third party or the Courts. Transfers to and from these reserves is at the discretion of the Council.

Special funds/reserves Special funds/reserves are those reserves subject to specific conditions accepted as binding by the Council and which may not be revised by the Council without reference to the Courts or a third party. Transfer from these reserves can be made by certain specified purposes or when certain specified conditions are met.

Asset revaluation reserves Asset revaluation reserves relate to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment to fair value.

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

f) Rates Rates are set annually by Council resolution and relate to a financial year. All ratepayers are invoiced within the financial year for which the rates have been set. Revenue is measured at the fair value of consideration received or receivable. Rates revenue is recognised by the Council as being revenue when the Council has struck the rates and provided the rates assessment. General rates and uniform annual general charges are recognised when assessments are issued or penalties are incurred. Water by meter rates are recognised on an accrual basis. Unbilled usage as a result of unread meters at year end is accrued on an average usage basis. Rates collected on behalf of the Taranaki Regional Council (TRC) are not recognised in the financial statements as the Council is acting as an agent for TRC. g) Subsidies and grants New Zealand Transport Agency roading subsidies are recognised as revenue when conditions pertaining to eligible expenditure have been fulfilled. Other grants are recognised as revenue when they become receivable, unless there is an obligation in substance to return the funds if conditions are not met. If there is such an obligation, the grant is initially recorded as revenue in advance, and recognised as revenue when the conditions of the grant are satisfied. h) Other revenue Other revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Other revenue is recognised at the time of invoicing, performance of a service or receipt of an application for a service or licence. Levies are recognised when assessments or infringements are issued. Fees and charges for building and resource consent services are recognised on a percentage completion basis with reference to the recoverable costs incurred at balance date. Fees for disposing of waste at the Council’s landfill are recognised as waste is disposed by users. i) Vested assets For assets received for no or nominal consideration, the asset is recognised at its fair value when the Council obtains control of the asset. The fair value of the asset is recognised as revenue, unless there is a use or return condition attached to the asset. The fair value of vested or donated assets is usually determined by reference to the cost of constructing the asset. For assets received from property developments, the fair value is based on construction price information provided by the property developer. For long-lived assets that must be used for a specific use (for example, land that must be used as a recreation reserve), the Council immediately recognises the fair value of the asset as revenue. A liability is recognised only if the Council expects that it will need to return or pass the asset to another party. j) Forestry assets Standing forestry assets are independently revalued annually at fair value less estimated costs to sell for one growth cycle. Gains or losses arising on initial recognition of forestry assets at fair value less costs to sell and from a change in fair value less costs to sell are recognised in the surplus or deficit. Forestry maintenance costs are recognised in the surplus or deficit when incurred. k) Intangible assets An intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical substance. An asset is a resource that is controlled by the entity as a result of past events (for example, purchase or self-creation) and from which future economic benefits (inflows of cash or other assets) are expected.

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

Software acquisition and development Computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. Costs that are directly attributable to the development of software for internal use are recognised as an intangible asset. Direct costs include the software development employee costs and an appropriate portion of relevant overheads. Staff training costs, maintenance and web related costs are recognised in the surplus or deficit when incurred.

Carbon credits Purchased carbon credits are recognised at cost on acquisition. Free carbon credits received from the Crown are recognised at fair value on receipt. They are not amortised, but are instead tested for impairment annually. They are derecognised when they are used to satisfy carbon emission obligations.

Amortisation The carrying value of an intangible asset with a finite life is amortised on a straight-line basis over its useful life. Amortisation begins when the asset is available for use and ceases at the date that the asset is derecognised. The amortisation charge for each financial year is recognised in the surplus or deficit. The useful lives and associated amortisation rates of major classes of intangible assets have been estimated as follows: Computer software 3 to 5 years 20% to 33.3%. l) Joint ventures A joint venture is a binding arrangement whereby two or more parties are committed to undertake an activity that is subject to joint control. Joint control is the agreed sharing of control over an activity. For jointly controlled operations, the Council and Group recognises in its financial statements the assets it controls, the liabilities and expenses it incurs and the share of revenue it earns from the joint venture. m) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less, and bank overdrafts. Bank overdrafts are shown within borrowings in current liabilities in the statement of financial position. n) Trade and other receivables Short-term receivables are recorded at the amount due, less any provision for uncollectability. A receivable is considered to be uncollectable when there is evidence that the amount due will not be fully collected. The amount that is uncollectable is the difference between the amount due and the present value of the amount expected to be collected. The Council does not provide for any impairment on rates receivable as it has various powers under the LG(R)A to recover any outstanding debts. These powers allow the Council to commence legal proceedings to recover any rates that remain unpaid four months after the due date. Ratepayers can apply for payment plan options in special circumstances. Provision has been made in respect of all other receivables where there is objective evidence that the Council will not be able to collect the amounts as per the original terms of the receivables.

Fair value Debtors and other receivables are non-interest bearing and receipt is normally on 30-day terms. Therefore, the carrying amount of debtors and other receivables approximates their fair value.

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

o) Inventory Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost comprises direct materials and where applicable, direct labour costs and those overheads that have been incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. Cost is calculated using the weighted average cost method. Net realisable value represents the estimated selling price less all estimated costs of completion and costs to be incurred in marketing, selling and distribution. p) Trade and other payables Trade and other payables are non-interest bearing and are normally settled on 30 day terms. Therefore, the carrying value of trade and other payables approximates their fair value. All amounts in trade and other payables are assessed as exchange as these balances arose from transactions carried out on normal business terms. q) Interest-bearing liabilities and borrowing costs All loans and borrowings are initially recognised at cost, being the fair value of the consideration received less directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the financial year in which they are incurred. r) Derivative financial instruments The Council uses interest rate swaps to mitigate its risk associated with interest rate fluctuations. These derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date the contract is entered into, and subsequently re-measured to fair value each quarter. Derivatives are carried as assets when their fair value is positive and as liabilities when their fair value is negative. Derivatives that are settled within 12 months are treated as current. Interest rate swaps are entered into with the objective of reducing the risk of rising interest rates. Any gains or losses arising from the changes in fair value of derivatives are recognised in the surplus or deficit. The net difference paid or received on the interest rate swaps is recognised as part of total finance revenue or total finance expense over the period of the contract. The Council does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. s) Other financial assets The Council classifies its financial assets into the following four categories:

1. Financial assets at fair value through surplus or deficit designated upon initial recognitions A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired principally for the purpose of inclusion in the Council’s Perpetual Investment Fund (PIF) or if so designated by management. Assets in this category are classified as non-current assets as there is no plan to dispose of them within 12 months of the balance date unless market conditions make it profitable, or prudent, to do so. After initial recognition they are measured at fair value. Gains or losses on re-measurement are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. The PIF is independently valued annually. Financial assets in this category include quoted shares bonds, private equity funds and share options.

2. Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after balance date which are included in non-current assets. After initial recognition they are measured at amortised costs, using the effective interest method, less impairment. Gains and losses when the asset is impaired or de-recognised are recognised in the statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

3. Assets held to maturity Assets held to maturity are assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Council has the intention and ability to hold to maturity. Assets in this category include local authority stock and interest-bearing bonds. After initial recognition they are measured at historic cost. Gains and losses when the asset is impaired or de-recognised are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense.

4. Available for sale Financial assets available for sale are those that are designated into this category at initial recognition or are not classified in any of the other categories above. They are included in non-current assets unless management intends to dispose of an asset or realise a debt instrument within 12 months of balance date. Included in this category are investments that Council intends to hold long-term but which may be realised before maturity and shareholdings that Council holds for strategic purposes. Available for sale assets are measured at their fair value with gains and losses recognised in other comprehensive income and expense, except for impairment losses which are recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. On de-recognition, any cumulative gain or loss previously recognised in other comprehensive revenue and expense is reclassified from equity to the Statement of Comprehensive Revenue and Expense. t) Impairment of assets At each balance sheet date the carrying amounts of tangible and intangible assets are reviewed to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists and for indefinite life intangibles, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss (if any). Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, estimates are made of the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Recoverable amount is the greater of market value less costs to sell and value-in-use. If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount the carrying amount of the asset (or cash-generating unit) is reduced to its recoverable amount with the expense being recognised in surplus or deficit. For non-revalued assets impairment losses are recognised as an expense immediately. For revalued assets, other than investment property, the impairment loss is treated as a revaluation decrease to the extent it reverses previously accumulated revaluation increments for that asset class. u) Provisions Provisions are recognised when the Council has a present obligation as a result of a past event, a reliable estimate can be made for the amount of the obligation and it is probable that the Council will be required to settle that obligation. Provisions are measured at management’s best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at balance date and are discounted to present value where the effect is material. v) Employee benefits Defined contribution schemes - Employer contributions to KiwiSaver, the Government Superannuation Fund and the State Sector Retirement Savings Scheme which are defined contribution superannuation schemes, and are expensed. Provision is made in respect of the Council’s liability for retiring gratuity allowances, annual and long service leave and sick leave. The retiring gratuity liability and long service leave liability are assessed on an actuarial basis using current rates of pay taking into account years of service, years to entitlement and the likelihood staff will reach the point of entitlement. Liabilities for accumulating short-term compensated absences (e.g. annual and sick leave) are measured as the additional amount of unused entitlement accumulated at the balance sheet date.

Statement of Accounting Policies and Basis of Preparation

Sick leave, annual leave, vested long service leave and non-vested long service leave and retirement gratuities expected to be settled within 12 months of balance date, are classified as current. w) Income tax Income tax expense comprises both current tax and deferred tax. Current tax is the amount of income tax payable based on the taxable profit of the current year and any adjustments in respect of prior years. Current tax is calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted as at balance date. Current tax for current and prior periods is recognised as a liability (or asset) to the extent that it is unpaid (or refundable). Tax assets and liabilities are offset when the Council has a legal enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and intends to settle on a net basis. Taxable profit differs from net surplus as reported in comprehensive revenue and expense because it excludes items that are not taxable or deductible and it further excludes items of revenue or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years. x) Deferred tax Deferred tax is the tax expected to be payable or recoverable on differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit and is accounted for using the balance sheet liability method. y) Cost allocation The costs of providing support services for Council are accumulated and are allocated to each Activity using appropriate allocation bases which reflect the usage and/or capacity for each. z) Dividends Dividend revenue from investments is recognised when the shareholders’ rights to receive payment have been established. aa) Foreign currency transactions Foreign currency transactions are translated into NZ$ (the functional currency) using the spot exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. Foreign exchanges gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at year-end exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in the surplus or deficit. ab) Goods and services tax (GST) All items in the financial statements are stated exclusive of GST, except for debtors and other receivables and creditors and other payables, which are presented on a GST inclusive basis. GST not recoverable as input tax is recognised as part of the related asset or expense. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) is included as part of receivables or payables. The net GST paid to, or received from the IRD, including the GST relating to investing and financing activities, is classified as an operating cash flow in the Statement of Cash Flows. Commitments and contingencies are disclosed exclusive of GST. ac) Budget figures The Annual Plan 2019/20 figures are those approved by the Council on adoption of this plan. The plan figures have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP, using accounting policies that are, or will be, consistent with those adopted by the Council for the preparation of the financial statements.

CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES There has been no change in accounting policies since adoption of the Annual Report 2017/18.

Statement of Reserve Funds

The Council maintains reserve funds as a sub-part of its equity – refer to statement of accounting policies earlier in this section. Schedule 10 Clause 16 requires certain information to be included pertaining to these reserve funds. The following presents a summary of reserve funds over the period of this plan and is followed by a breakdown into the various reserve fund types giving a brief explanation of the types of funds under each category and a table giving the opening balances, movements and closing balances.

Summary of Reserve Funds The following is a summary of the Council’s expected reserve funds over the life of this plan.

LTP LTP A/Plan 2018/19 2019/20 2019/20 ($m) ($m) ($m) Opening balances 85.52 74.65 75.65 Deposits to reserves 24.21 24.97 21.66 Withdrawals from reserves (35.08) (23.55) (25.18) Closing balances 74.65 76.07 72.13

Note. Opening balances for Budget 2018/19 have been adjusted to reflect the actual opening position at 1 July 2017 and impacts of carry-forwards from 2017/18.

1. Operating reserve funds. These are set aside to fund short-term operational matters, such as some loan repayments, or to hold short-term surpluses arising from operations. If not required can be transferred to renewal reserves.

2. Restricted reserves, trust and bequest funds. These are funds subject to specific conditions accepted as binding by the Council, such as bequests or operations in trust under specific Acts, and which may not be revised by the Council without reference to the courts or third party. Transfers from these reserves may be made only for certain specified purposes or when certain specified conditions are met. These include the Waitara Harbour Trust, heritage funds, proceeds from sale of Junction Road leases, solid waste development fund, Central Landfill develoment fund, Ngamotu Masonic Lodge Bursary Fund, and certain bequest funds: Monica Brewster, Molly Morpeth Canaday, J T Gibson. These funds are applied to infrastructural asset activities, Puke Ariki and Govett-Brewster Art Gallery.

Disclosure Statement for the period commencing 1 July 2019

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS STATEMENT? TThe purpose of this statement is to disclose the Council’s planned financial performance in relation to various benchmarks to enable the assessment of whether the Council is prudently managing its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, and general financial dealings.

The Council is required to include this statement in its annual plan in accordance with the Local Government (Financial Reporting and Prudence) Regulations 2014 (the regulations). Refer to the regulations for more information, including definitions of some of the terms used in this statement. Benchmark Planned Met Rates increases affordability benchmark <= the prior year rates income plus 5% 4.6% Yes Rates income affordability benchmark <= the prior year rates income plus 5% $96.3m Yes Debt affordability benchmark: - Annual interest expense on external borrowings <= 12.5% of rates income. 7.9% Yes - Net external debt to be <= 135% of total revenue. 96% Yes Balanced budget benchmark >=100%. 97% No Essential services benchmark >=100%. 140% Yes Debt servicing benchmark <=10% 5.2% Yes

Rates increases affordability benchmark The Council’s planned rates increases for the year are compared with a quantified limit on rates contained in the Financial Strategy included in the Council’s LTP. The quantified limit is set at the prior year rates income plus five per cent.

Rates income affordability benchmark For this benchmark, the Council’s planned rates for the year are compared with a quantified limit on rates contained in the Financial Strategy included in the Council’s LTP. The quantified limit is set at the prior year rates income plus five per cent.

Debt affordability benchmark For this benchmark, the Council’s proposed borrowing is compared with quantified limits on borrowing contained in the financial strategy included in the Council’s LTP.

Benchmark One - debt (expense) affordability The quantified limit on this benchmark is proposed annual interest expense on external borrowings cannot exceed 12.5 per cent of rates income and is measured as a percentage.

Benchmark Two - debt affordability The quantified limit on this benchmark is net debt to be no more than 135 per cent of total revenue and is measured as a percentage.

Balanced budget benchmark For this benchmark, the Council’s planned revenue (excluding development contributions, vested assets, financial contributions, gains on derivative financial instruments, and revaluations of property, plant, or equipment) is presented as a proportion of its planned operating expenses (excluding losses on derivative financial instruments and revaluations of property, plant, or equipment).

The Council meets the balanced budget benchmark if its revenue equals or is greater than its operating expenses.

Disclosure Statement

Essential services benchmark The following graph displays the Council’s planned capital expenditure on network services as a proportion of expected depreciation on network services.

The Council meets the essential services benchmark if its planned capital expenditure on network services equals or is greater than expected depreciation on network services.

The balanced budget benchmark is set at 100 per cent being a measure of the extent Revenues cover Operating costs. The LTP for 2019/20 at 98.8 per cent does not achieve this benchmark, as Council does not fully fund depreciation. The Council uses a long run average renewal approach to renewal funding and carries renewal reserves to ensure the right level of funding is held for renewal expenditure. The Annual Plan brings the measure down further to 97.1 per cent. This ‘shortfall’ in the current year is funded by a reduction of reserves, whereby the Council is intentionally spending surpluses previously collected.

Essential services benchmark For this benchmark, the Council’s planned capital expenditure on network services is presented as a proportion of expected depreciation on network services.

The Council meets the essential services benchmark if its planned capital expenditure on network services equals or is greater than expected depreciation on network services.

Debt servicing benchmark For this benchmark, the Council’s planned borrowing costs are presented as a proportion of planned revenue (excluding development contributions, financial contributions, vested assets, gains on derivative financial instruments, and revaluations of property, plant, or equipment).

Because Statistics New Zealand projects the Council’s population will grow more slowly than the national population growth, it meets the debt servicing benchmark if its borrowing costs are equal or less than 10 per cent of its revenue.

Rating System and Information

RATING POLICIES, SYSTEM AND INDICATIVE RATES This section complies with the requirements under Schedule 10 clauses 15(3)-(5) and 15A of the Local Government Act 2002. It should be read in conjunction with the Council’s Revenue and Financing Policy. Figures quoted are exclusive of GST unless otherwise stated.

Definition of Separately Used or Inhabited Part of a Rating Unit (SUIP) A SUIP is defined as a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit and includes any part of a rating unit that is used or occupied by any person, other than the ratepayer, having a right to use or inhabit that part by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence, or other agreement, or any part or parts of a rating unit that are used or occupied by the ratepayer for more than one single use. Separately used or inhabited parts include: • A residential, small holding, or farmland property that contains two or more separately occupiable units, flats or houses each of which is separately inhabited or is capable of separate inhabitation i.e. has independent kitchen facilities. • A commercial premise that contains separate shops, kiosks, other retail or wholesale outlets, or offices, each of which is operated as a separate business or is capable of operation as a separate business.

1. General rates The Council will set a general rate based on the land value of rateable land in the district together with a uniform annual general charge applied to all separately used or inhabited parts (SUIPs) of a rating unit.

Differential land value categories The Council differentiates the general rate based on land use (Schedule 2 Local Government (Rating) Act 2002). The differential categories and percentages of total general rate requirement that apply to each group are:

2018/19 2019/20 Group 1: Commercial/industrial. All rating units that are used primarily for any 27.10% 27.00% commercial or industrial purpose. Group 2: Residential. All rating units with a land area of one hectare or less, not 54.00% 54.00% being rating units in Group 1, used for residential and related purposes. Group 3: Small holdings. All rating units, not being rating units included in Groups 1 3.20% 3.40% or 2, having a land area of more than one hectare but no greater than four hectares. Group 4: Farmland. All rating units, not being rating units included in Group 1, 2 or 3, 15.70% 15.60% having a land area in excess of four hectares. TOTAL 100.00% 100.00% Note. The figures for 2019/20 and 2020/21 will be confirmed and set as part of the relevant annual plan processes.

2. Uniform annual general charge The Council will set a uniform annual general charge (UAGC) which is a fixed amount assessed on every separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit. The amount per SUIP (excluding GST) is set in the table below.

2018/19 2019/20 UAGC (excluding GST) $347.83 $373.48

Both the general rate and the uniform annual general charge will be used to fund, or assist with funding, all Council activities other than those funded by way of targeted rates for roading, water supply, sewage treatment and disposal, refuse collection and kerbside recycling, and swimming pool compliance and voluntary targeted rate for the New Plymouth Home Energy Scheme.

3. Targeted roading rate The Council will set a targeted rate - the Uniform Annual Roading Charge (UARC) to partially fund the roading activity on all rateable land in the district of a fixed amount per SUIP. The amount per SUIP (excluding GST) is set in the table below.

2018/19 2019/20 UAGC (excluding GST) $106.52 $113.04

4. Targeted service charge rates The Council will charge the following targeted rates: • Water supply (non metered and metered). • Sewage treatment and disposal. • Refuse collection and disposal. • Swimming pool compliance. • Voluntary targeted rate - New Plymouth Home Energy Scheme. Unless otherwise noted, only those properties that actually receive the service are liable for these charges, irrespective of differential category.

5. Water supply (non metered and metered) The Council has three mechanisms of payment for water supply. These are: a) Annual water charge is made up of two rates: i) Network fixed charge targeted rate being a targeted amount per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit which is connected to an urban water supply but not metered. The amount per SUIP is $32.00 for 2019/20. ii) Consumption charge targeted rate (standardised per unmetered household) being a fixed amount per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit which is connected to an urban water supply but not metered. The amount per SUIP is $257.17 for 2019/20.

b) On demand supplies of water by meter is made up of two rates: i) A supply charge targeted rate per connection of $32.00 for 2019/20 (except bypass meters) for each separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit which is metered and connected to an urban or rural water supply. ii) A rate per cubic metre of water supplied to each connection which is metered and connected to an urban or rural water supply. A scale of charges is applied as follows for supplies excluding Waitara industrial supply: • Standard rate for consumption up to or equal to 50,000m3 per annum $1.14 (per cubic metre) for 2019/20. • Rate for consumption in excess of 50,000m3 per annum $1.16 (per cubic metre) for 2019/20. • Waitara industrial - untreated supply $0.82 (per cubic metre) for 2019/20. c) Restricted flow targeted rate A restricted flow targeted rate is determined by the (user-nominated) volume of water able to be supplied within a fixed time period to a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit for properties that are not metered and are connected to a rural water supply (in accordance with the Council’s Bylaw Part 14 - Water, Wastewater and Stormwater Services). For 2018/20, the amount per 1m3 unit is $182.67. For properties that are not connected to an urban or rural water supply, a targeted rate is not assessed.

6. Sewage treatment and disposal All rating units other than commercial/industrial and schools The Council will set a targeted rate for sewage treatment and disposal as a fixed amount per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit in respect of rating units (other than commercial/industrial rating units and schools) connected either directly or through a private drain to a public sewerage drain. The amount per SUIP is $453.91 for 2019/20. Commercial/industrial and schools The Council will set a targeted rate per water closet or urinal connected either directly or through a private drain to a public sewerage drain or commercial/industrial properties and schools as per the following scale per water closet or urinal. • One to two $453.91 • Three $380.00 • Four $332.17 • Five $288.70 • Six to 10 $258.26 • 11 to 15 $240.87 • 16 to 20 $232.17 • 21 or more $227.83

Ōākura sewerage scheme For rating units in the area to which the Ōākura sewerage scheme is available where an agreement to connect was obtained but the rating unit has not yet connected, a targeted rate per separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit will be set as a fixed amount (which is half the full amount). The amount per SUIP for 2019/20 is $236.52. Once connected the full amount will apply in the next financial year. All rating units in the district which are neither connected to the sewerage system or are not serviceable are not liable for these rates.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

2. We recommend that the Council approve the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20. In addition to inflation adjustments (where applicable), several fees and charges have been updated. These updates will ensure that services are cost recoverable, fees are consistent with policies and plans and the schedule is more user-friendly. The final Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20 will be prepared and reported to the Council for adoption prior to 1 July 2019 when the new fees and charges come into effect.

BACKGROUND

Guided by the Revenue and Financing Policy 3. The Revenue and Financing Policy sets the basis for determining fees and charges. The policy states that fees and charges are either full or part charges to recover the costs of services and that they are usually used where the user of the service has discretion on whether to use the service or not.

Multi-year approach 4. On 27 June 2018 the Council adopted the current Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2018/19, 2019/20 and 2020/21. It was noted that fees and charges may be subject to annual inflation adjustments for 2019/20 and 2020/21 subject to Council approval of any proposed changes. Also noted was that any additional changes beyond annual inflation adjustments would also require Council approval and may also require consultation if significant.

Inflation applied for 2019/20 fees and charges 5. In line with the resolution highlighted above, inflation of two per cent has been applied to the 2019/20 fees and charges where applicable.

Proposed updates for 2019/20 fees and charges 6. In addition to inflation, there are several proposed updates to the fees and charges for 2019/20. None of the updates are considered to be significant and as such can be adopted by the Council without public consultation.

7. The key proposed updates for 2019/20 are explained in Appendix 1.

8. A copy of the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20 is included in Appendix 2. The proposed updates are shown as underlined and strikethrough text.

SIGNIFICANCE AND ENGAGEMENT

9. In accordance with the Council's Significance and Engagement Policy, this matter has been assessed as being of some importance because the proposed updates to the Schedule of Fees and Charges are considered to be minor and do not impact on the Council’s statutory purpose, obligations or duties, impact on the levels of service provided by the Council and do not have significant financial costs for the council and the community.

10. Community views and preferences on the fees and charges were sought during the LTP 2018-2028 process. Recognising that the updates to the schedule are considered to be minor, further consultation on the schedule is not considered necessary.

OPTIONS

Option 1 Approve the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20

a) Financial and Resourcing Implications Fees and charges have been reviewed in conjunction with the annual budgets and forecast revenue. A fee or charge enables a level of cost recovery for services delivered by the Council.

b) Risk Analysis There are no significant risks associated with this option.

c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes Fees and charges cover services that promote all of the Council’s community outcomes.

d) Statutory Responsibilities Some fees and charges are set by legislation (e.g. Sale and Supply of Alcohol charges). The proposed updates to the fees and charges are consistent with these statutory requirements.

93 Council Agenda (12 February 2019) - Extraordinary - Update to Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20

3

e) Consistency with Policies and Plans The updates to the fees and charges are consistent with the Revenue and Financing Policy which sets out when fees and charges are used. The updates are also consistent with those charges that are set by council policy and bylaws including updates to the solid waste fees and charges that are consistent with the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and resolutions made as part of the LTP 2018-2028.

f) Participation by Māori The updates to the fees and charges are not considered to be significant to Māori.

g) Community Views and Preferences Community views and preferences on the Schedule of Fees and Charges was sought during the LTP 2018-2028 consultation process. The updates to the fees and charges are not significant to warrant further consultation.

h) Advantages and Disadvantages The updates to the fees and charges will ensure cost recovery of council services and will create a more user-friendly schedule with regards to the TSB Stadium charges.

Option 2 Approve the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20 with amendments

a) Financial and Resourcing Implications Fees and charges have been reviewed in conjunction with the annual budgets and forecast revenue. Amending any fee or charge may have budgetary implications.

b) Risk Analysis A significant amendment may have implications for cost recovery levels or result in significant changes in use of some services.

c) Promotion or Achievement of Community Outcomes Fees and charges cover services that promote all of the Council’s community outcomes.

d) Statutory Responsibilities Some fees and charges are specified under legislation which can limit charges. Amending the schedule will need to take these into account.

e) Consistency with Policies and Plans Any amended fee or charge will need to be assessed for compliance with the Revenue and Financing Policy.

f) Participation by Māori Any amended fee or charge will need to be assessed regarding its significance to Māori.

g) Community Views and Preferences Any significant amendments could warrant public consultation.

h) Advantages and Disadvantages This option may result in fees and charges being inconsistent with policy and may have budgetary implications.

Recommended Option This report recommends option one approve the proposed Schedule of Fees and Charges for 2019/20 for addressing the matter.

Charge out rates There are two resource consent processing group charge out rates: 1. The administration charge out rate applies to front of house carrying out application/documentation acceptance and support services functions including record keeping and other incidental administrative tasks. 2. The technical charge out rate applies to all inputs by environmental planners (including team leaders and managers), technical officers and monitoring officers.The hourly charge out rates include the use of vehicles, phone calls, internet charges, use of equipment, stationery, incidental business support and incidental photocopying.

Other charges 1. External inputs. These are Council technical inputs external to the Resource Consents Team staff and contractors. These include policy advisors, development engineers, roading engineers, secretariat and Councillor hearing related costs. 2. Specialist inputs. These are inputs of skills and expertise external to the Council needed to address application issues such as legal, archaeological, iwi consultation, hazard assessment, traffic engineering, arboreal, landscape assessment, specialised resource management advice and the use of hearings commissioners. Contractors fulfilling the roles normally handled by the Resource Consents Team are not specialist inputs.

Fee types There are three fee types: 1. Fixed fee. This fee covers all costs for a process, product or aspect of an application. The amount is fixed – no additional costs will be charged by the Council in regard to the application up to the stage the document or consent is issued. 2. Set base fee. This is an all inclusive fee covering the administration and technical processing work by the Resource Consents Team which covers receiving, processing and issuing the document or consent. Additional charges will apply for external and specialist inputs if required. 3. Base fee. The base fee is non-refundable except in accordance with the refund criteria. This fee is set at a level intended to cover a straight-forward application with no external inputs or other case specific costs. This fee will cover the receipt and issue of the application and initial monitoring together with up to a specified number of hours of resource consents processing group technical inputs that typically remain after these costs are deducted. Applications requiring external or specialist inputs will reduce the number of processing hours from that stated. In some instances the base fee will be exceeded. Matters that could cause the base fee to be exceeded include external or specialist inputs, pre hearing or other meetings, significant mail outs or photocopying, amendments or additional information or application complexity. Invoices will be sent out where fees paid are exceeded. Payment of fees • Application fees are to be paid at the time of lodgement unless alternative payment arrangements have been formally approved. • A reduced application fee may be considered by the Planning Lead where unusual circumstances or the characteristics of the application would make it inappropriate to charge the normal fee. • Additional fees will be required to be paid before the continuation of processing where an application belongs within a higher fee category. • Where an application falls within more than one fee category, the higher fee category will apply. • Initial monitoring fees (if applicable) are due for payment at the time of consent issue. These normally will be deducted from the application fee.

Charge out rates There are two resource consent processing group charge out rates: 1. The administration charge out rate applies to front of house carrying out application/documentation acceptance and support services functions including record keeping and other incidental administrative tasks. 2. The technical charge out rate applies to all inputs by environmental planners (including team leaders and managers), technical officers and monitoring officers.The hourly charge out rates include the use of vehicles, phone calls, internet charges, use of equipment, stationery, incidental business support and incidental photocopying.

Other charges 1. External inputs. These are Council technical inputs external to the Resource Consents Team staff and contractors. These include policy advisors, development engineers, roading engineers, secretariat and Councillor hearing related costs. 2. Specialist inputs. These are inputs of skills and expertise external to the Council needed to address application issues such as legal, archaeological, iwi consultation, hazard assessment, traffic engineering, arboreal, landscape assessment, specialised resource management advice and the use of hearings commissioners. Contractors fulfilling the roles normally handled by the Resource Consents Team are not specialist inputs.

Fee types There are three fee types: 1. Fixed fee. This fee covers all costs for a process, product or aspect of an application. The amount is fixed – no additional costs will be charged by the Council in regard to the application up to the stage the document or consent is issued. 2. Set base fee. This is an all inclusive fee covering the administration and technical processing work by the Resource Consents Team which covers receiving, processing and issuing the document or consent. Additional charges will apply for external and specialist inputs if required. 3. Base fee. The base fee is non-refundable except in accordance with the refund criteria. This fee is set at a level intended to cover a straight-forward application with no external inputs or other case specific costs. This fee will cover the receipt and issue of the application and initial monitoring together with up to a specified number of hours of resource consents processing group technical inputs that typically remain after these costs are deducted. Applications requiring external or specialist inputs will reduce the number of processing hours from that stated. In some instances the base fee will be exceeded. Matters that could cause the base fee to be exceeded include external or specialist inputs, pre hearing or other meetings, significant mail outs or photocopying, amendments or additional information or application complexity. Invoices will be sent out where fees paid are exceeded. Payment of fees • Application fees are to be paid at the time of lodgement unless alternative payment arrangements have been formally approved. • A reduced application fee may be considered by the Planning Lead where unusual circumstances or the characteristics of the application would make it inappropriate to charge the normal fee. • Additional fees will be required to be paid before the continuation of processing where an application belongs within a higher fee category. • Where an application falls within more than one fee category, the higher fee category will apply. • Initial monitoring fees (if applicable) are due for payment at the time of consent issue. These normally will be deducted from the application fee.

Fee types There are two fee types: 1. Fixed fee. This fee covers projects where the costs are easily identified before application, or where an average rate is appropriate. The amount is fixed. No additional costs will be charged by the Council in regard to the fee quoted. 2. Base fee. The base fee is based on the anticipated costs for the project and is non-refundable.. In some cases actual costs of a project may exceed the estimated minimum fee, due to external or specialist inputs, amendments, additional information submitted, application complexity, inspection complexity or additional inspections undertaken. At the end of a project, if the actual costs have significantly exceeded the minimum fee, an invoice for the additional costs will be sent and are required to be paid prior to issue of a code compliance certificate.

Cancellations When an application is withdrawn before the consent is issued and fees are outstanding, an invoice for the work completed to date will be sent to the fee payer. If an application is withdrawn after the consent is issued, a refund will be sent to the payer for monies not used by the activities to date.

Payment of fees The total fee and levies applicable will be asked for when you submit your application. We would appreciate that this is paid when applications are lodged, however if the applicant is not responsible for the cost an invoice can be sent to the owner when the consent is ready to be issued and must be paid in full when the consent is picked up. Extra inspections or re-inspection will be involved at the end of the project and are required to be paid prior to the issue of a code compliance certificate. • A reduced application fee may be set by the Manager Building (Building Lead) where unusual circumstances or the characteristics of the application would make it inappropriate to charge the normal fixed or base fee. • Where an application belongs within a higher fee category, additional fees will be required to be paid before the continuation of processing. This will apply when work is undervalued. The estimated value of the finished work will be used. • Where an application falls within more than one fee category, the higher fee category will apply. • Non-payment of fees or the invoiced additional processing costs will result in processing or inspection being suspended unless alternative payment arrangements have been formally agreed. A typical calculation of the fee you are to pay can be done using this formula: Value of work is $20,000 or under - base fee for category + Accreditation Levy. Value of work is over $20,000 - base fee category + DBH (MBIE) Levy + BRANZ Levy + Accreditation Levy.
