14 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

As councillors are aware, the development of the Long-term Plan is a complex and lengthy process. The business of Council is diverse, with many different business units and delivery timeframes. Over the time of completion of consultation, new information becomes available which needs to be considered in finalisation of the plan. This includes information which impacts both delivery timeframes and budgets.

Invercargill is currently seeing constraints in the contracting market and significant demand on local resources. We are competing in a very tight market for skills, and recruitment to critical positions is challenging.

Most Council staff did not receive remuneration increases last year, and market data now shows significant increases for some positions. A request for more funding for salaries is included in this report.

Through the pre-engagement and consultation process Council received approaches and requests from a number of community focused groups seeking to contribute to community wellbeing in different ways. At this time Council’s officer resource is fully committed and to request that officers provide such support would need additional staff.

It should be noted that some submitters spoke on issues which related to the District Plan and are outside the scope of the Long-term Plan process.

CHANGES TO COUNCIL’S OPERATING ENVIRONMENT SINCE THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSULTATION DOCUMENT

∑ City centre streetscapes forecast capital budget – The Council has received updated and more detailed financial costings from the consultants working on the streetscape project. These forecast increases, together with professional fees and project contingencies will result in an increase in the budget required, if the masterplan for Stages One and Two is to be delivered on. Stage One is estimated to cost $17.5 million. Further consultation will be required before completing work on Stage Two beyond the $18.6 million of the $20.8 million project cost, already allocated by Council. For information, up to $80,000 of this budget will be allocated for relocation of the Umbrella statue to Queens Park. See Issue 1 later in the report for more information. ∑ City centre streetscapes forecast operational budget – More detailed scoping of capital works has enabled reforecasting of the streetscapes operational budget for maintenance. This cost will be tabled at the meeting. ∑ Anderson House – Latest costings from the contractors will require an increase in the budget from $1.2 million to $1.4 million, with delay in delivery as a consequence of contractor availability, from 2021/2022 to 2022/2023. As a result of Council’s decision to focus on weather tightening and earthquake strengthening in the first instance, further advice indicates that it will not be possible to attract external funding for this project. As a result, Council’s investment will need to increase from $900,000 to $1.4 million. Council continues to engage with the Anderson House Trust around future uses for the House. See Issue 4 later in the report for more information. ∑ Water Tower – There have been delays in finalising the design due to the difficulty in adding a significant volume of structural steel to a specialist heritage building. Regretfully this will require an increase in the budget for the completion of earthquake strengthening work on the Water Tower from $1.4 million to $4.1million. This more complex work cannot be completed in 2021/2022. Completion will take place in 2022/2023. See Issue 4 later in the report for more information. ∑ Branxholme Pipeline – Following receipt of Central Government funding the scope of this project was increased leading to additional time required for project design. As a result the 2020/2021 work needs to be deferred into 2021/2022. This requires a reforecast spend allocation of $3.7million in 2021/2022. No increase on overall $11.2 million project budget. A3411810

15 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

∑ Stead St Stopbanks – Work could not commence until conclusion of contracting with Central Government, which has taken longer than anticipated. As a result, this work will need to be deferred from 2020/2021 into 2021/2022. This requires a $6.6 million reforecast spend allocation for the 2021/2022 year. There is no increase on overall $14.5 million project budget. ∑ NZTA subsidy – Council expects to have the final confirmation on the level of subsidy at the end of May. This could impact on the budget, however budgets remain the same until confirmation is received. ∑ Salaries – As the organisation has changed to meet Council’s expectations, our remuneration budget has come under significant pressure. The minimum adult wage increased as from 1 April by 6% which in turn, has driven increases to the ICC Fair Wage. These have been incorporated into the remuneration structure, but discussions around parity for adjacent, lower graded positions is also contributing to an increase in staffing costs. Anecdotal examples have been shared with councillors. There is no doubt that if Council is to achieve its aspirational Roadmap to Renewal it needs to compete with other employers. Retaining critical staff will always be more cost effective than having to recruit and train new employees. Market conditions have shifted post Covid, and the closure of the borders. This coincides with the demographics of older, experienced workers retiring. We have seen this have a very real impact on our ability to deliver capital projects, and to achieve some of Council’s aims in other areas (e.g. communications). There is no sign of the conditions easing any time soon. As a result, this Plan now increases a provision for a net $600,000 for salary costs.

For further detail on changes to the capital budget as a result of Quarter 4 reforecasting see Appendix A.

RESULTING CHANGES TO THE FINANCIAL POSITION

Officers are working to complete the reforecasted budgets as a result of the changes in the operating environment. Information on the following matters will be tabled on the day of the meeting: ∑ Capital expenditure ∑ Operational expenditure ∑ Impact on rates

CONSULTATION ISSUES

Below is a summary of the feedback received on the consultation issues for the Long-term Plan, along with recommended decisions.

The following issues are covered: Issue 1: City Centre masterplan and Urban Play options Issue 2: Southland Museum and Art Gallery options Issue 3: Rugby Park options Issue 4: Feedback on the Roadmap to Renewal Issue 5: Feedback on other plans and activities Issue 6: Feedback on plans for finances and rates Issue 7: Feedback on proposals to change the way we rate Issue 8: Other matters – Requests for External funding or support

A3411810

16 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Issue 1. City Centre Masterplan and Urban Play options

56% of 380 submissions on this topic were in favour of Council’s preferred option: $20.8million investment in the streetscape and $4.9 million investment in urban play.

24% believed Council should invest only in the streetscape – A total $18.6 million investment in a $20.8 million project.

20% believed Council should do nothing.

Urban play

On balance the majority of people are in favour of an urban play option. Many are focused on opportunities for children, some for all people and others simply want to make the city centre an attractive place to visit for both locals and visitors.

The level of support from the business community represented by the Chamber of Commerce was higher than the average amongst all submitters, at 80% compared to 56% amongst all submitters.

Some submitters provided a range of ideas for what urban play could look like – More mentioned dispersed options than a destination playground like Margaret Mahy. Many were concerned about the weather and felt that something undercover was needed. Some mentioned integrating arts activities into the urban play. A minority felt Council ought to have clearer plans before asking for feedback.

Of those opposed to urban play, many felt it was not needed, that there were enough play places elsewhere, weather made the idea impractical or that there were other priorities. The most frequent negative response that the cost could not be justified.

A3411810

17 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Streetscape

Most recognise the importance of investing in the streetscape although some are concerned about the cost.

Submitters are divided on the issue as to whether streets are for cars or people. Many people want easier walking and cycling; others strongly want ease of use for cars maintained. Some people raised accessibility for older, disabled people and for young families – Again people are divided on whether accessibility is helped through prioritizing cars or people. Accessibility for people with neurodiversity was mentioned in relation to the city centre and the museum and is an issue to which consideration can be given at the design phase.

There is stronger consensus that Tay Street should be kept for cars and that there is room to make Esk St more pedestrian friendly.

Many mentioned the importance of a meeting space and green areas. This was also an issue raised repeatedly through the Extra Money for City Block? consultation.

A small number were concerned that housing was missing from the plans for the city centre, which they believe is a crucial aspect of vibrancy.

1. City Centre masterplan and Urban Play – Summary and recommendations

Officers have updated Council that consultants working on the Streetscapes project are signalling expected higher costs for completion of stages One and Two. Stage One (City centre – Don and Esk (Dee to Kelvin)) is forecast to cost $17.7 million which is within the $18.6 million allocated by Council in the Consultation Document for this work (Note that the $18.6 million excludes the forecast portion of NZTA funding which brings the total allocation to $20.8 million).

Stage Two (Kelvin - Tay to Don and Esk – Kelvin to Civic Administration Building) is now forecast to cost another $11 million. Consultation will be required before additional funding can be allocated to Stage Two. Consideration needs to be given to the impact these forecast additional costs will have on Council’s overall budget. However additional provision will not be made at this time.

Recommendations:

That the Committee

4.1.a Confirm the preferred option to allocate $18.6million to the streetscapes and an additional $4.9 million for urban play, resulting in a total $23.6 million of a $27.4 million project.

4.1.b Request officers to further develop the scoping for urban play with a focus on dispersed play.

4.1.c Determine to consult on allocating additional funding for Stage Two of the streetscapes work, once detailed design and reforecast budgets are completed.

18 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Issue 2: Southland Museum and Art Gallery options

72% of the 380 submissions on the Museum were in favour of Council’s preferred option to invest $39.4 million of a total $52.5 million project, to make the building safe and reopen the museum.

20% preferred that Council invest an extra $700,000 a year into He Waka Tuia and explore other permanent solutions for the museum.

Only 8% believed Council should do nothing on this issue.

The clear message on the Museum is “Get it done.” Many raised the impact on children of the museum being closed. Others are concerned that there is nowhere to take visitors. A smaller number are concerned the solution is not fully scoped and it is better to wait and get it right.

The second area of consensus is that people want the museum to remain in the park. They see many benefits to its current location including convenience to the park for families and visitors, parking and keeping continuity with Southland’s heritage.

There is less consensus as to whether the solution for the building is right. Many recognise the heritage of the Pyramid building. Some are concerned about the cost of the proposed solution, but a similar proportion believe that investment should be made in a new building.

Others believe the building is less important than the contents and have a range of suggestions from innovation, to keeping the tuatara and the seal.

Some support a solution in the city centre, but they are outnumbered by those who are passionately opposed to a city centre solution. Some are underwhelmed by He Waka Tuia and either believe it is not necessary or not well executed. However, a small number believe it should be continued alongside the museum, perhaps with a focus on art. A3411810

19 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

A small but passionate minority believe all the expense is completely unjustified and the museum should be reopened immediately as it is.

2. Southland Museum and Art Gallery – Summary and recommendations

The Consultation Document had a total project budget for the museum of $52.5 million with proposed Council investment of $39.4 million, with the project commencing in 2021/2022 and completing in 2025/2026.

The current project commenced from a Notice of Motion on the cost of strengthening the building, and the focus has been very much on re-opening the building. While it is understood the community and Council wishes to see the project get underway, it is also critical that the finished product reflects community aspirations for a place to spend time in. The point has been made a museum is about the collection and the experience, not just its building. It is recommended that more time is given to shift the focus from reopening to reimagining.

Through the Streetscapes project, Council has worked with a small group of external, community representatives to steer the development of the masterplan. What is proposed here is that a similar governance group is established to guide the process for re-imagining the experience within the Invercargill museum. This would require 6-12 months at the commencement of the project, and would likely delay the delivery of the museum until 2026/2027. Construction under this approach would be delayed until 2023/2024.

Invercargill is currently seeing constraints in the contracting market and significant demand on local resources. An adjustment to the programme would see this project coming to the market at a time when the peak of this work is tailing off.

In addition, it is appropriate to consider whether Council will be able to afford the Arts & Creativity Invercargill (ACI) development. This project is also covered under Issue 4. While it is currently in the Consultation Document for delivery between 2027 and 2030, it should be recognised that art lovers in the city are likely to be dissatisfied with their exclusion from a new facility until ACI can be delivered.

Recommendations

That the Committee

4.2.a. Confirm the preferred option to invest $39.4 million of a $52.5 million project to reopen and refurbish the museum.

4.2.b. Confirm its preferred location for the museum remains Queens Park.

4.2.d. Confirm delivery one year later in 2026/2027 in order to allow for time to reimagine the offering of the museum when it is reopened.

Issue 3: Rugby Park options

55% of the 381 people who submitted on Rugby Park were in favour of Council’s two stage approach to Rugby Park, investing $4.9 million to make the building safe and seeking external funding to complete work to make the building into a more flexible venue.

26% believed Council should only work to make the building safe.

19% believe Council should do nothing.

Views on Rugby Park are strong and divided.

A flexible approach is preferred to a maintenance only approach, however this needs to be considered against the more complex qualitative feedback.

The most passionate views are fairly evenly balanced between the rugby supporters whose priority is heritage and getting back full use of the Park for rugby, and those who strongly believe Council should not be involved with Rugby Park and rugby should be user pays. These submitters do not understand why Council is supporting a particular sport.

Of those whose main focus appears to be rugby, maintenance is felt to be marginally more important than creating a flexible venue.

Of those who want a flexible venue some are passionate about the opportunities it presents for other sports and events like concerts, but more are focused on either increasing revenue to reduce costs on ratepayers, or on making the best of the investment, since they believe it has to be made.

Some are concerned that the plans for a flexible venue are not fully scoped, and question the location. Some believe there are significant issues, such as parking, which need to be

A3411810

22 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

addressed. Others suggest investment should be made at Surrey Park instead. Some are mentioning a venue at Oreti Beach.

Some want the project done sooner, but more believe there are other more important priorities.

3. Rugby Park – Summary and recommendations

In the Consultation Document, Council’s preferred option for Rugby Park was to make the building structurally safe (Stage One) and seek external funding to create a flexible use venue (Stage Two).

While the consultation supports the Council’s preferred option, there are significant concerns raised about the suitability of the venue for Invercargill conditions, the viability of the investment and the completeness of scoping of the solution. Further advice on options for external funding is more conservative. In addition, officers recommend the completion of a full business case for operation of a flexible model prior to a decision being made.

There are essential works which must be done to make the building safe, and it is recommended that these proceed, but that further consideration is given to the future scope, business case and location of a flexible-use facility for Invercargill.

Recommendations:

That the Committee

4.3.a. Confirm Another Option - $4.9 million to make structurally sound (Stage One only).

Issue 4: Roadmap to Renewal feedback

Council asked for feedback on its Roadmap to Renewal, which laid out the plan for strategic community projects.

It is important to note that in this analysis of the qualitative data, percentages are estimates and should be taken as such.

Approximately a third of feedback is positive or strongly positive about the plan – this is the most common feedback by a considerable margin. These submitters are pleased to see that Council has a clearly communicated plan, which they believe will be good for Invercargill now, and for the next generation. These submitters believe the plan has broadly the right projects in the right order, although some raise one or more projects, which they have different views on.

The next most common feedback (approximately 10%) is concern about cost. Others are concerned about whether the plan is too ambitious and/or whether Council has the capacity to deliver. Some are concerned that Council should not be spending so much on projects which are not core infrastructure, or that the level of debt funding being taken on is not acceptable. Some believe that Invercargill has an aging population and investing in projects more suitable for a younger population is misguided.

The most commonly mentioned project on the roadmap is Anderson House. The Water Tower is also frequently mentioned. People want these projects addressed as a priority.

Opinion is divided on ACI and the additional pool, with roughly equal numbers believing they should be removed or should be brought forward.

There is controversy about Surrey Park Grandstand. There is concern from many that there has not been sufficient consultation with effected groups and Council needs to revisit this.

Some who are passionate about the museum or the CBD, believe that other things should be left until these projects are completed. Those who are passionate about Rugby Park believe it should be done earlier.

For a considerable number, maintenance of the buildings Council already has is the priority and new projects should not be considered until existing assets are dealt with. In comparison, a much smaller number are concerned the projects included are too conservative and not innovative enough.

A small but significant number have raised climate change and want to see this issue considered in project planning.

4. Roadmap to Renewal summary and recommendations

Anderson House

Anderson House is the most commonly mentioned project on the roadmap. As noted earlier in the report additional funding will be required to make the building earthquake safe and weather-tight and this work will take longer to deliver. Further advice has been received that external funding for this work is unlikely to be secured.

Recommendations

That the Committee

A3411810

24 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

4.4.a Confirm increasing the budget from $900,000 to $1.4 million with delivery in 2022/2023, noting that this will deliver weather-tightness and earthquake strengthening only; public access to the House would be limited.

4.4.b Confirm no increase to the budget for any other works at this time, noting that this may be reconsidered if an agreed future use is found for the House and that community consultation would be required.

Water Tower

The Water Tower project is a priority to many submitters who note its landmark status, although some believe there are other priorities.

As noted in the update on the operating environment, increased costings have been received for the Water Tower. The increased complexity of the work means it cannot now be delivered until 2022/2023.

4.4.c Confirm an increase in the budget from $1.4 million to $4.1 million to make the Water Tower earthquake safe and extend the project into 2022/2023.

Bluff Tourism Masterplan projects

Twenty five submissions have been received in support of the Mountain Bike Club proposed project in Bluff. Officers provide positive feedback on the project and note that they are working with the Club to address the required consents and regulatory matters related to the Reserves Act.

The Club has requested that funding allocated to the Active Recreation precinct within the Parks Activity Management plan be available for this project and be brought forward.

The funding in the plan includes improvements to the adjacent carpark which is allocated in 2023/2024 and funding for improvements to the Active Recreation Precinct to improve facilities and connectivity for clubs in 2025/2026. Officer advice is that it is not possible to move the funding for the carpark forward, as there will not be available contractors to deliver this work on an earlier schedule. Planning and consent processes have been considered in scheduling, and as a result it is not recommended to move the second stage of the funding forward. Nevertheless, there are opportunities for working in partnership to ensure this project is successful and Council looks forward to working with the Mountain Bike Club on this.

4.4.d Confirm that the funding allocation for the Active Recreation Precinct remains for the carpark and the wider project at $527,000 in 2023/2024 and $610,000 in 2025/2026.

4.4.e. Request officers continue collaborating with the Mountain Bike Club to look for opportunities for achieving success in the Active Recreation Precinct project.

Surrey Park

Submissions from a range of clubs and individuals have provided feedback that more consultation is necessary in order to ensure that the views of all impacted clubs can be heard and time given to scoping of the project.

A3411810

25 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Recommendation

4.4.f Retain $1.5 million in the budget and defer this project two years to 2023/2024, in order to undertake further consultation and scoping with directly impacted groups.

Arts and Creativity Invercargill

Submissions on ACI were few and Council needs to consider how best to accommodate arts and creativity if it is not included in the museum. Council’s previous position was to separate art from the museum; this is an issue to which further consideration can be given as part of the museum reimagining and in light of Council’s budget.

Recommendation

Additional Pool at Splash Palace

Feedback on the Additional Pool at Splash Palace was mixed. Some submitters believed the pool was not needed; others thought it was a priority, which should be completed sooner. Some from the Bluff community believed that the Bluff pool should be a greater priority than the additional pool at Splash Palace.

The additional pool at Splash Palace is in the later years of the Long-term Plan. At the time of more detailed scoping, Council will work with community funders to determine whether external funding may be available as part of the 2024 – 2034 Long-term Plan.

Recommendation

A3411810

26 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Issue 5: Feedback on other plans and activities (Infrastructure Strategy)

Council asked for feedback on its other plans and activities which form the Infrastructure Strategy.

It is important to note that in this analysis of the qualitative data, percentages are estimates and should be taken as such.

The most common feedback is positive (approximately 25%). These submitters are pleased to see investment in core infrastructure, which they believe is in the right places and at an appropriate level. Some raise the importance of a steady investment in maintaining assets.

This compares to approximately 1 in 10 who are concerned about cost. This is often discussed in relation to the issue of affordability, although some question whether Council knows what is needed.

The most commonly mentioned area of infrastructure is three waters. The importance of prioritizing an alternative water supply was most mentioned, followed by concerns about three water reform and the need for improved water quality.

Roading was frequently mentioned. Some have specific concerns about quality issues, others are concerned about the frequency of roadworks.

Climate change is mentioned by a significant minority. Support for walking and cycling is the most mentioned related issue, with other mitigation measures mentioned by a few.

Recycling and waste are activities where submitters would like to see innovation.

Some Bluff residents are concerned they are not receiving the same level of service as Invercargill.

Some Otatara, Kennington and residents in other rural areas have raised concerns about service provision, mostly in relation to the proposed rating changes.

5. Other plans and activities (Infrastructure Strategy) – Summary and recommendations

New River Estuary (Submission 450) – The issue of the environmental impact of the old waste dump adjacent to the New River Estuary has been raised. Officers have been in dialogue with Environment Southland on this issue for a considerable time.

Recommendation

That the Committee

4.5.a Request officers to report back on progress of the dialogue on New River Estuary at the time of the 2022/2023 Annual Plan.

Sealing of the Omaui and Mokomoko Road (Submission 423) – A submission from 40 local residents was received in support of sealing the Omaui Road.

The roading asset management plan does not include any planned seal extensions for the next 30 year period and accordingly no budget has been allowed.

A3411810

27 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

The typical cost to take a unsealed road to a sealed surface is around $250- $300 thousand dollars per kilometre. This work is not able to claim a NZTA subsidy.

Some preliminary work on prioritising which roads would be selected (if a budget is available) has been undertaken. There are probably at least 4 to 5 locations where a strong case exists for this work, of which the Omaui and Mokomoko Roads are in the middle in terms of priority. This desktop evaluation has highlighted roads as being of high priority (5.6km - $1.6 million) and medium (18km $5.4 million) as the most likely to be considered.

Recommendations

4.5.b. Confirm not to extend sealing of the Omaui Road in this Long-term Plan, but to include it for consideration as part of the development of the 2024 – 2034 Long- term Plan.

4.5.c. Include Omaui and Mokomoko Roads within the speed review planned for late 2021/ early 2022.

Public Motorhome Dump and Wash Station in Bluff (Submission 437)

The Bluff Community Board has requested a motorhome dump station be installed in Bluff.

Research was undertaken with Venture Southland (now Great South) in 2019 which showed that numbers of freedom campers in the Invercargill District, including Bluff, remain at a lower level than in many areas of the wider region. Low levels of environmental impact such as dumping of rubbish and waste were observed. Great South note that Bluff is a popular destination for freedom campers and there is likely to be increased numbers in the future. There is a dump station in Invercargill at Glengarry.

Recommendation

4.5.d. Review the need for a dump station as part of the development 2024 – 2034 Long-term Plan.

Third Public Toilet in Bluff (Submission 437)

The Community Board has also requested an additional toilet in Bluff.

There is the opportunity for officers to work with the Bluff Community Board to discuss this matter further. Prioritising an additional toilet in Bluff would mean delaying other toilets within the strategy. Within the property capital programme there is allowance for a new toilet every other year.

Recommendation

4.5.e. Confirm no increase in the budget allowance for an additional toilet, but direct officers to reconsider this location against other priorities.

Improved drainage to the Cricket Oval at Queens Park (Submission 88)

The Southland Cricket Association is requesting improved drainage on the Cricket Oval, which is on reserves land, as well as support for an electronic scoreboard. Officers advise

A3411810

28 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

that changes to the operational approach has already been progressed and only minimal increase in budget allowance is needed, which can be met through existing budgets.

Recommendation

4.5.f. Request officers continue to engage with the Southland Cricket Association to support effective use of the cricket ground.

4.5.g. Decline the request for $20,000 funding for an electronic scoreboard as part of the Long-term Plan, but remind the Association of the opportunities for funding from both the Community Wellbeing Fund and the Active Communities Fund.

Improved carparking at Turnbull Thompson Park (Submission 506)

A request has been made for improved carparking specifically in relation to football.

Recommendation

Improved fencing at Russell Square (Submission 448)

A request has been made by South Alive for additional fencing at Russell Square to improve safety at the playground.

Recommendation

4.5.i. Note that Russell Square is the first playground in the Parks programme for 2021/2022 and consideration is being given to fencing.

Safe Cycling Network (Submission 433)

Many submissions raise the importance of cycling within the city, including requests to make it easier to cycle by creating a joined up network of cycle paths.

The Roading Asset Plan has no planned extensions to cycle paths in the Myross Bush areas. The existing paths on the stop banks are managed by Environment Southland. There is funding allocated for maintenance.

Work is being undertaken with ES and NZTA to complete the Invercargill to Bluff trail and Council is undertaking works on Dunns Road to ensure a safe shared path is available.

Funding constraints have limited the planning of further trails.

A longer term vision approach to connect additional parts of the City would have benefits to ensure that reliable future funding may be bid for when such opportunities arise.

Recommendation

4.5.j. Request officers to undertake initial vision and feasibility assessment for a joined up cycling network in preparation for the 2024 – 2034 Long-term Plan.

A3411810

29 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Climate change

Climate change was an issue raised by a significant number of submitters. Council’s approach to climate change is to assess the impact on core infrastructure, followed by assessing impact on other activities, in line with the regional approach led by Environment Southland.

Recommendation

4.5.k. Note the establishment of an internal working on climate change which has been formed and will commence work in June 2021, bringing recommendations to Council as part of the development process for the 2024 – 2034 Long-term Plan.

Issue 6: Feedback on plans for finance and rates (Financial Strategy)

Council asked for feedback on its plans for finance and rates, which form the core of its Financial Strategy.

It is important to note that in this analysis of the qualitative data, percentages are estimates and should be taken as such.

Approximately a third of submissions are positive about the plans for finance and rates. Some of those who are positive believe the increases are fair to pay for the plan; some are pleased to see overdue investment being made and others are pleased to see consistent steady rates increases.

Approximately a third are negative believing rates are too high. The most commonly raised issue is affordability, particularly for people on fixed incomes. Others believe Council is not responsible or is trying to do too much. Some objected to the level of debt being proposed and others believed more needed to be done to seek alternative sources of revenue. The post-Covid environment was mentioned by some.

Some, including the Bluff Living Wage group, raised the importance of Council paying a living wage, as well as planning rates increases at a level which are manageable for people on lower incomes.

Many recognised that it would not be possible to set rates at a level everyone would be happy with.

6. Plans for finance and rates (Financial Strategy) – Summary and Recommendations

One submitter encouraged Council to become a Living Wage employer. Local market forces have already required Council to remunerate above the minimum adult wage; accordingly Council has developed the Invercargill City Council Fair Wage. This is included in the Long-term Plan.

Another submitter proposed that Council should not utilise debt as this is not, in her opinion, the Māori way as it places the burden on the mokopuna, and that Council should borrow from the Reserve Bank. The advice of officers is that this is not legally feasible.

As a result of proposed changes in response to consultation feedback and changes in the operating environment, changes will need to be made to the financial forecasts in order to maintain a balanced budget.

Recommendations

It is recommended to note and confirm all the changes required as a result of changes to the operating environment not dealt with under other recommendations. The recommendations below are provided on the basis that Council decisions align with the recommendations provided on all other areas in this report. During deliberation guidance will be given on the impact of alternative decisions on the overall financial position of Council and as a result on rates and debt levels.

4.6.a. Note and confirm all the changes required to the budget as a result of changes to the operating environment.

4.6.b. Lower the delivery forecast for the infrastructure programme from 75%-85% to 70%-75%, noting that this is still an ambitious target and more accurately the

A3411810

reflects the constraints within the construction sector in the post-Covid environment.

Issue 7: Proposed changes to the way we rate

Council asked for feedback on its proposed changes to the rating system.

It is important to note that in this analysis of the qualitative data, percentages are estimates and should be taken as such.

Just over a third of people were positive about the proposed rating changes. The most commonly given reason was equity – they agreed with Council that the proposed changes would result in a fairer system. The most commonly supported area was the affordability proposals, which would change the balance to be paid between higher and lower value properties. Many also believed spreading out the cost of services previously paid for by targeted rates would also be fairer.

Approximately a third were negative. Most negative responses were to the proposals to change targeted rates with people not happy to pay for services they perceived they do not have the benefit of. Opposition was most strong from Kennington and farming properties. Some opposition from Otatara tended to suggest they would expect street lights and pavements to be added as a result of the changes and would be unhappy if this did not happen. It should be noted however that others felt this would spoil the rural environment.

The next most common concern from those who are negative about the proposals is from those who believe that it is not equitable to reduce the burden on lower value properties as everyone receives the same services from Council. Some suggested there should be a poll tax.

Federated Farmers raised that the changes would increase burdens on rural ratepayers at a time when they have not seen capital value increases. They oppose the changes to the uniform annual general charge and the change to the targeted rates.

In contrast the Chamber of Commerce members are broadly in favour of the proposed rating changes.

A significant minority mentioned that property values were not within their control and were not a good indicator of income in many cases.

There remains a significant amount of confusion about the rating proposals due to the complexity of the issue. A significant minority said they did not understand.

7. Plans for changes to the way we rate – Summary and Recommendations

As a result of the feedback received during the consultation process it is recommended to amend the proposed rating policy to included two new targeted rates to reflect the private/public benefit associated to the services and adjust the differentials to reflect the impact of those changes.

The key issues coming through the submission process associated to the proposed changes to way we rate are focused predominately around the increased distribution of rates for the service provision of those services previously targeted in specific areas of the City. The key services included in this redistribution were Stormwater Drainage, Transportation, Streetlights and Footpaths.

Federated Farmers’ submission included a request to go back to current policy and to increase the UAGC back to $360. UAGC is a new component included into the proposed rating policy - $360 was merely a comparison to the existing fixed charges in the current policy. If the new rating policy is adopted as proposed with the amendment to the UAGC as

A3411810

33 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

highlighted by the Federated Farmers this would see a significant increase to the rates within farming properties. It is not recommended to adjust the UAGC, but to look to the other components of the proposed policy changes.

The impact of the recommended changes on the rural areas would see a lower increase than previously proposed. One specific example would be the Kennington area, which would now see an average increase of 19.1% not 31.4%. The biggest contribution to the Kennington area increase remains being the citywide revaluation shift in rates distribution.

It is recommended to introduce two new targeted rates and that the remainder of the costs remain as part of the General Rates allocation and be distributed across the city based on the proposed rating policy. The revised rating policy will be brought to Performance, Policy and Partnerships Committee and then to the Council for adoption on 30 June 2021.

Recommendations

That the Committee:

4.7.a.. Confirm the proposed changes to the rating approach with the following amendments as a result of consultation:

4.7.a.i.. Confirm the introduction of two new targeted rates detailed in Table 1.0:

4.7.a.ii.. Confirm the changes to the Transportation Boundary detailed in Map 1.0:

Note Map 1.0 will be tabled at the meeting.

4.7.a.iii. Confirm changes to the rating differentials outlined in Table 2.0:

Impacts of recommended introduction of a targeted Private Benefit changes requires a review of the Property Type differentials.

Issue 8. Other matters - Requests for external funding

The following requests for external funding have been received:

Bluff Pool Operating Costs

Approximately 41 submissions were received in support of continued support for operational costs at for the Bluff Pool.

Recommendation

That the Committee:

4.8.b. Request officers to renegotiate a new operating agreement with the Bluff Pool Trust.

Buff Bluff Health and Wellbeing Centre (Submission 493)

Request for $199,000 funding.

4.8.c. Confirm that the funding request is declined, noting the group may apply to the Community Wellbeing Fund for support.

Support for a Food resilience strategic plan for Invercargill (Submission 510)

4.8.e. Regretfully decline on the basis that staff resources for community engagement activities are fully allocated.

Places and Spaces Strategy Role (Submission 86)

Request for Council to allocate $40,000 to a shared role with Sport Southland to implement the Strategy.

4.8.f. Confirm support for this role for three years to an amount of up to $40,000 annually, conditional on funding being secured from partner agencies and other Territorial Local Authorities.

A3411810

36 Extraordinary Performance, Policy and Partnerships - Public Agenda - 2021 - 2031 Long-Term Plan Deliberations

Safe in the South (Submission 575 - Southern District Health Board) – Request for Council to continue and increase its funding. No submission was received from other members of the Safe in the South governance group.

Saving Grace Project (Submission 471)

IC2 Charitable Trust has asked Council to work alongside them to explore opportunities for funding, including in-kind support, to a level similar to the previous funding request they made.

Council has discussed this project and declined funding at a previous meeting. Unfortunately without additional Strategy and Policy team Engagement and Partnership officers, Council will be unable to provide support at this time.

4.8.h. Confirm that there be no specific funding allocation as part of the Long-term Plan budget.

4.8.i. Regretfully decline the request for officers to work alongside IC2 Trust to explore opportunities to work together on this project.

4.8.j. That the IC2 Charitable Trust be reminded of the opportunity to apply to the Community Wellbeing Fund for funding to deliver youth services.

Waka Kotahi Role (Submission 128 and Submission 86) - Sport Southland Healthy Families have requested this shared role be continued beyond the end of the NZTA contact.

4.8.k. Note that Council has a funding request with NZTA for a continuation of this role and allocation within the roading budget. A further update will be provided following feedback from NZTA.

Invercargill Public Art Gallery (Submission 136)

The Trust signalled that they will be seeking further funding in the future, including for storage.

LONG-TERM PLAN 2021 – 2031 EXTERNAL REQUESTS FOR FINANCIAL SUPPORT

SUMMARY

A number of organisations have made requests of Council for financial support through the 2021 – 2031 Long-term Plan. This report outlines those funding requests and seeks confirmation that Council wishes to include them within the draft budgets for the Long-term Plan. These budgets remain draft until adoption in June 2021. Until adoption no external funding is confirmed.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Performance, Policy and Partnerships Committee

1. Receive the report “Long-term Plan 2021 – 2031 External requests for financial support” 2. Confirm the noted requests for external funding for inclusion within the draft budgets for the Long-term Plan, noting these will remain draft until adoption in June 2021 and that until adoption no external funding is confirmed.

IMPLICATIONS

1. Has this been provided for in the Long Term Plan/Annual Plan? This is in preparation for the 2021 – 2031 Long-term Plan. The majority of funding requests are continuation of support from the 2018 – 2028 Long-term Plan, although many are at a higher level. 2. Is a budget amendment required? No 3. Is this matter significant in terms of Council’s Policy on Significance? No 4. Implications in terms of other Council Strategic Documents or Council Policy? These elements are required for the Long-term Plan budgets. 5. Have the views of affected or interested persons been obtained and is any further public consultation required? These requests for funding will form part of the budgets which will be available as supplementary materials for the Long-term Plan consultation. There is no intention to consult on the requests for funding from external agencies on an individual basis.

FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS

The total quantum of requests for external funding is $4.8million, 7% higher than for the 2018 – 2028 Long-term Plan (when comparing like with like – see table below). Note, that this figure is for the 2020/2021 period, some agencies have requested increasing amounts over the later years of the Long-term Plan and this is noted below.

BACKGROUND

There are a number of external agencies to which Council provides financial support through the Long-term plan. These include both services which the territorial authorities in the region support, such as Great South and Emergency Management Southland, as well as Trusts which seek ongoing support. Two of the agencies, Great South and the Bluff Maritime Trust are Council controlled organisations. This does not include the contestable funding which Council administers through public rounds, including the Community Wellbeing Fund and the funds which support earthquake strengthening and other areas relating to heritage buildings.

THE REQUESTS FOR FUNDING

Current Funding Requested Funding (2021/2022 requests, with additional annual changes noted where relevant) Emergency $337,000 $405,052 Management Southland 1. Continued the $50k ‘building the EMS reserve back up following the recent emergency responses’ across the 10 years of the LTP

2. Continued $50k per year beyond the first 3 years for ongoing project work

3. Added $100k per year for AF8 – to make permanent the ongoing fixed-term role. Great South $825,000 Core $853,485* Core funding (Council funding controlled $825,000 contract This is made up of increased director fees organisation) funding and staff costs, inflation adjustments and adjusted based on the funding formula to reflect the increased population in Invercargill district compared to the other parts of the region.

$825,000 contract funding

He Waka Tuia $250,000 $380,000

This is to allow for increased front of house resource and enhanced gallery offerings. Invercargill Public $220,000 $314,000 Art Gallery Invercargill Public Art Gallery have asked for this additional funding for the management of their collection. Its important to note that this is in addition to the

Southland Indoor $700,000 $700,000 Leisure Centre Trust The Stadium have indicated that while this is the average quantum they require over the term of the Long-term plan, they expect that some years they will need more than others as a result of their maintenance schedule. Te Ao Marama $42,281 2021/22 – $97,481 2022/23 and ongoing - $152,481

This is to enable 0.5 FTE and then 1 FTE to be added to the Te Ao Marama team to manage the increased workload due to consulting requirements under the LGA and RMA.

SMAG $746,000 $0

The running costs for the museum are now allowed for within the core Council budget on the assumption that the Governance review will be complete before July 2021. SRHC $956,000 $956,000 Bluff Indoor Pool $180,000 $180,000 Trust The Bluff Indoor Pool Trust have indicated that they want continued support beyond the completion of their existing agreement in 2022. Bluff Maritime $20,000 $20,000 Museum Trust (Council Controlled Organisation) Environment $50,000 $0 Southland (Invercargill - The funding agreement for this project Bluff cycleway) expires at the end of this financial year with the completion of the project. Facilities $250,000 $0 Maintenance Fund Will no longer be an external grant but will come into the ICC internal budget. Football for all $10,839 $0 weather This project has ended. IVEM $112,750 $0 With the wind-up of IVEM, this cost is brought into the internal ICC budget. Safe in the South $10,000 $0 The current contract for this project concludes with the end of the 2020/2021 financial year. Southland One $27,000 $27,000 Stop Shop Trust Total $5,561,870 $4,759,018

CONCLUSION

A number of organisations have made requests of Council for financial support through the 2021 – 2031 Long-term Plan. The total quantum of requests for external funding is $4.8million, 7% higher than for the 2018 – 2028 Long-term Plan.

27 William Bruce Invercargill Concerned about council spending and Businesses should pay more rates. At this stage Council are not considering universal metering. Clearwater whether theseprojects will be utilised to a Water meters should be considered. Council does meter large users or those who could potentially be degree that will make the money worth while. so because of the size of their connection. There are about 1500 meters in place. Historically the driver for meter installation is to suppress water demand to defer the construction of works to increase water supply. This would be typical of those communities that have high population growth. In those cases the cost of universally installing water meters is far less than committing to capital works for capacity augmentation. Of course metering is a fair way of attributing cost on the user pays basis but it comes at a large cost to install and support in an ongoing fashion. The current method of charging by water rate for non-metered properties could be argued as unfair but it would be the cheapest outcome for most consumers. There is however another driver that is gaining momentum from an environmental perspective. That is to show that water is being used efficiently. Meters are a method to change behaviour to ensure this happens. So maybe in the future we may be forced to install meters universally but, as I mentioned at the start, it is not in our current planning.

423 Omaui Wants Omaui Road to be sealed. The roading asset management plan does not include any planned Community seal extensions for the next 30 year period and accordingly no budget has been allowed.

The typical cost to take a unsealed road to a sealed surface is around $250- $300 thousand dollars per kilometre. This work is not able to claim a NZTA subsidy.

Some preliminary work on prioritising which roads would be selected ( if a budget is available) has been undertaken. There are probably at least 4 to 5 locations where a strong case exists for this work. This desktop evaluation has highlighted roads as being of high priority (5.6km - $1.6M) and medium (18km $5.4M) as the most likely to be considered.
