Acting Mayor and Chief Executive Welcome to the Napier City Council’s Annual Report for 2018/19. Council is in good financial health, with a healthy balance sheet. We have continued to work hard to set rates and debt levels that balance affordability with the need to provide for our growing community. We are proud that Napier’s average residential rates remain one of the lowest in the country at $2,118 per property for 2018/19. Improving our water network has been a big focus during the year and recently Council confirmed that water is its number one priority. There is urgency with regards to work required but it will take time. As part of the large water programme to address dirty water, a significant amount of work has been undertaken to make improvements to our water network. There has been significant increase in cleaning and changes to network configuration. We will continue to give this work priority. We also designed new de-chlorinated water stations and the first station was completed and commissioned on 1 July. Napier continues to be a very high user of water compared to other areas across New Zealand and we plan to encourage and educate the public on ways to make water conservation part of their daily lives. This year saw the settlement of a weathertightness claim. Council is in the unenviable position of being last man standing in these situations. At this year’s LGNZ Annual Conference a remit was put forward by Napier City Council to introduce a cap on the liability of Councils in relation to building defects claims. This remit was passed with 93 per cent support of the sector. Napier City Council will work closely with central government agencies to progress a positive outcome for Councils in this space. One of the most successful projects undertaken was the re-turfing of McLean Park. This project included new stormwater mains and drains being laid, and then 130 truckloads of hybrid turf was laid down. This project was completed in August in time for the first rugby match on 2 September when Hawke’s Bay took on Counties-Manukau in the Mitre 10 cup clash. Nitro Circus was the first non-sporting event to be held on the new turf. This event sold more tickets per capita than any other Nitro Circus show of the tour. We have continued to work on the Park Island Northern Development and expect this project to be complete in 2019/20. The re-development of the northern end of Hastings Street has created a vibrancy in our central business district with locals and visitors enjoying this space by day and night. Signature events are not only a drawcard for visitors but provide many opportunities for locals too. We sponsored the outdoor and street events of the hugely popular Art Deco Festival held in February 2019. We also hosted a number of events such as Nitro

  • Local Government Leaders' Climate Change Declaration
    Local Government Leaders’ Climate Change Declaration In 2015, Mayors and Chairs of New Zealand declared an urgent need for responsive leadership and a holistic approach to climate change. We, the Mayors and Chairs of 2017, wholeheartedly support that call for action. Climate change presents significant opportunities, challenges and risks to communities throughout the world and in New Zealand. Local and regional government undertakes a wide range of activities that will be impacted by climate change and provides infrastructure and services useful in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing resilience. We have come together, as a group of Mayors and Chairs representing local government from across New Zealand to: 1. acknowledge the importance and urgent need to address climate change for the benefit of current and future generations; 2. give our support to the New Zealand Government for developing and implementing, in collaboration with councils, communities and businesses, an ambitious transition plan toward a low carbon and resilient New Zealand; 3. encourage Government to be more ambitious with climate change mitigation measures; 4. outline key commitments our councils will take in responding to the opportunities and risks posed by climate change; and 5. recommend important guiding principles for responding to climate change. We ask that the New Zealand Government make it a priority to develop and implement an ambitious transition plan for a low carbon and resilient New Zealand. We stress the benefits of early action to moderate the costs of adaptation to our communities. We are all too aware of challenges we face shoring up infrastructure and managing insurance costs.
