One of the great pleasures of living in New Zealand is that we have easy access to our beautiful coastline and beaches. However, while these beaches are a way of life, they can also be a source of danger. Surf Life Saving New Zealand plays a crucial role in ensuring New Zealanders are able to enjoy our beaches, while keeping safe in the water. I would like to thank every one of you who helps keep New Zealanders safe at the beach. Whether you are a lifeguard, a supporter, a coach or an official, your contribution is deeply appreciated. Many of you devote an incredible amount of personal time and energy to this vital cause. It is because of your dedication that so many people are kept out of harm’s way each year. This year, you spent more time than ever before patrolling our beaches – a total of 169,811 hours. This shows that not only are more New Zealanders using our coastline, but that Surf Life Saving New Zealand is increasingly able to respond to the demand. And with more than a third of your membership in the Junior Surf category, it is clear that this organisation will only increase its contribution to New Zealand in future. I am delighted to introduce the Annual Report for Surf Life Saving New Zealand for 2006. Dame Silvia Cartwright PCNZM, DBE Governor-General of New Zealand

improving. The hours of patrol service do not fairly reflect the other hours that are required to train physically and to remain up to date and refreshed in the practical aspects of our work. The statistics cannot indicate the significance to individuals, families and communities of the actions of our members. The people saved from drowning, helped with first aid and protected from dangerous situations by the early intervention of our members are able to continue contributing to our society as a result of the activities of our members. Graeme Cullen Chairman Our purpose is to prevent drowning and injury at New Zealand beaches and our members have risen once again to accept the challenge that this presents.

Surf Life Saving New Zealand is governed by a Board of Directors, which employs the Chief Executive, Geoff Barry. Geoff and the Management Team have been responsible for a significant improvement in the performance and the position of the organisation over the last couple of years. Their commitment and skill are greatly appreciated.

2005 saw the retirement of Adrienne Laredo from the Board and Mr Tony Roddan was elected as a Director for the first time. Individual Directors have continued to participate in various courses organised by Sport and Recreation New Zealand (SPARC) and the Institute of Directors in New Zealand. The review of Board performance was undertaken using guidelines provided by SPARC that have been designed specifically for use in organisations like ours. While the tool was very helpful in this process, it did lack an area that would allow individual performance to be considered.

Under the auspices of ACC a special interest group has been working on a Drowning Prevention Strategy for New Zealand. This activity has the potential to change the way key organisations in our sector interact with government and with each other, and is a very significant activity for Surf Life Saving New Zealand. We have conducted discussions with Water Safety New Zealand and with Swimming New Zealand as well as remaining involved directly in the Drowning Prevention Strategy process.

This year we have adopted a National Lifesaving Plan and this has been carefully aligned with the terminology and intent of the Drowning Prevention Strategy. Extending the use of the National Lifesaving Plan approach to Districts is a major focus for the coming year. The framework of our Lifesaving Plan has now been adopted by the International Life Saving Federation as the base for development of a template for use in all member countries who are trying, in a systematic way, to reduce drowning.

In recent Annual Reports I have described how Surf Life Saving New Zealand has responded positively to the challenges facing many not-for-profit, volunteer, community-based organisations. I have reported on the actions we have taken to revitalise our approach to surf lifesaving to ensure that we are a modern, relevant and well-placed essential service for decades ahead. As a result of the work programme undertaken we are very close to realising that position. chief executive the year in review

The Board

The Board has continued to apply effective stewardship over the organisation. The Board has created its own definition of good governance and applied appropriate time and energy to the importance of strategic thinking and risk management. The Board has also maintained its responsibilities overseeing the development and application of policy by the staff.

The Board has focused its attention on four strategic areas: • Review of critical success factors • Partnerships • Investment and future funding • Research.

When identifying the organisation’s purpose – preventing drowning and injury at New Zealand beaches – the Board identified seven critical success factors (CSF) to provide the focus of ‘how’ we achieve our purpose. During the Board review of these an eighth CSF was identified. The current list is: • A positive public perception and enhancement of the Surf Life Saving brand • Sufficient resources to meet organisational needs and aspirations • Development and succession planning for volunteer leaders and staff • Programmes that enhance membership capability and satisfaction • Provision of best practice lifesaving services and education to the community • Effective partnerships with external stakeholders and the community • Maintaining best practices in governance and management • Meeting agreed expectations of Clubs and Districts.

These factors influence much of our decision making because they provide a focus for measuring performance and establishing priorities in terms of strategies, programmes and projects, and the associated investment decisions that need to be made.

In our own organisation there has been an increasing commitment to a ‘one organisation’ approach to drowning prevention. At the June meeting of Districts and the Board, Districts made a commitment to greater alignment between Clubs, Districts and the national association. Alignment of Surf Life Saving will cover areas such as constitutions, regulations and rules, through to policy and standards to ensuring the service looks and feels the same

Our coastline continues to be enjoyed by an increasing number of people, be it through coastal development or increased access to water-related equipment. Social commentators suggest there is an increase in ‘family’ orientated leisure pursuits, and a day at the beach is accessible, offers a range of activities and can be enjoyed by all. This is reflected in our statistics, which report more patrol hours than ever before.

As a not-for-profit community service, the most significant aspect for Surf Life Saving is that we continue to deliver more and more.

Capability

Capability, leadership and alignment are captured in our vision. Capability assessment of Surf Life Saving, in particular Districts capability and capacity is increasingly a focus of SLSNZ. A District Capability Assessment Tool has been developed, which three Districts completed this year. As we look to increase Surf Life Saving’s performance the capability tool will provide a benchmark measurement from which ‘Development Plans’ can be implemented to target improvements.

In the later part of the season at an organisation development meeting, Districts and SLSNZ committed to develop stronger alignment strategies and the development of robust audit trails within our cascade structure.

Communication

SLSNZs Communication Strategy is driving an increased development of electronic tools. A review of the web page this year will see development of the ‘web’ continue as the central communication tool for members.

In a similar vein electronic tools in and around our programmes will continue to relieve work load on administrators and create more efficient processes. ‘On line’ membership forms have negated paper membership forms and subsequent data entry. Recording of annual lifeguard refreshers are also now completed ‘on line’.
