1.1 Purpose of Report
To outline the feedback received from the community engagement on Māori Wards and seek a decision from Council on whether to establish Māori Wards for the 2019 election.
That Council a. Do not establish Māori Wards in Napier City for the 2019 and 2022 local elections.

1.2 Background Summary
At the Council meeting on 16 August 2017, Council was provided with a background paper on Māori Wards (Attachment A). Since that time, Officers have engaged with the public, primarily through a survey as well as meetings with leaders of Maori organisations. Outlined below is a summary of the data collected during this engagement to inform Council on the public’s view on Māori Wards. This information was presented to the Māori Consultative Committee at their meeting on 20 September 2017.
Engagement summary 28 August to 2 October:
· 2 Adverts in Napier Mail
· Various social media (Facebook) engagement across the two weeks, in particular a post in Te Reo during Māori Language Week.
· Māori Wards poster and cards at Civic Building reception and Napier Library.
· Online survey through Survey Monkey from 28 August to 15 September.
In addition to the online survey, leaders of Māori Organisations in Napier City have been contacted with an opportunity to meet with the Mayor and the Chief Executive to discuss Māori Wards from their perspective. Organisations include:
· Mana Ahuriri Trust Board
· Maungaharuru- Tangitū Trust Board
· Maraenui and District Marae Committee
· Pukemokimoki Marae Trust Board
· Te Kupenga Hauora
· Te Taiwhenua o te Whanganui a Orotū Board.
Ngāti Pārau Hapū Trust and the Chairperson, Ngāhiwi Tōmoana of Ngāti Kahungungu Incorporated, both advised Council that they are against establishing Māori Wards, primarily because there are talented and capable Māori that can stand on their own merits as general candidates. Ngāti Kahungungu also provide support and backing to all Māori candidates across all local bodies in their tribal region.
Acting Chief Executive of Te Kupenga Hauora advised they are for establishing Māori Wards as a way of achieving greater Māori representation, as are the Board of Te Taiwhenua o Te Whanganui-a-Orotū.
Overview of survey results
The majority of public feedback was against establishing Māori Wards, specifically:
· 78% of public feedback was against establishing Māori Wards
· 22% of public feedback was in support of establishing Māori Wards.
Chart 1: Public feedback on Māori Wards
Key themes from comments on the survey included:
For Māori Wards:
Tangata whenua are entitled to more of a voice as per the Treaty of Waitangi.
A Māori perspective would be brought to Council.
A way of assisting the Māori community to be represented on Council.
Against Māori Wards:
Candidates should be voted for on their merits, not by ethnicity.
Māori Wards is perceived as creating a division in Council and in the community.
There are already adequate opportunities for Māori to input to Council business.
Respondents of the survey that identified as being Māori made up 22% of all responses. Of these, 50% were in support of establishing Māori Wards, and 50% were against establishing them.

1.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
1. Establish Māori Wards in Napier City for 2019 and 2022 Elections (any changes to Māori Wards must apply to the next two general elections).
2. Continue with the status quo which is no Māori Wards in Napier City (technically this does not need a resolution).
3. Resolve to hold a poll on Māori Wards to apply for the 2019/22 elections by 21 May 2018. A poll is likely to cost up to $100,000.
1.7 Development of Preferred Option
Option 2 is the preferred option because it reflects public feedback on the process from both Māori organisations and the general public.
Options 1 & 3 are not preferred options due to the majority of the feedback from the public being against establishing Māori Wards at this time. If the public wish Napier City Council to revisit this, they are able to make a demand for a poll at any time (in accordance with the Local Electoral Act 2001).

2.2 Background Summary
As a result of the development of the Napier Aquatic Strategy in 2015 which identified issues with the projected life of the Greendale Pool, a Council-funded condition assessment was carried out, followed by a feasibility study into options for pool provision in Taradale.
The Taradale Aquatics Feasibility Study Demand Assessment completed early in 2016, concluded that it was in the Council’s best interest to develop facilities at the Napier Aquatic Centre rather than invest in Greendale (Taradale Primary School) or alternative new facilities in Taradale. It was recommended that a business case and master plan were developed to determine the best long-term solution to expand and upgrade Napier Aquatic Centre at Onekawa Park.
In 2016, Global Leisure Group Ltd, supported by Create Ltd were contracted to carry out the business case development and make recommendations on the preferred options.
In response to these identified community needs, four options to expand the Napier Aquatic Centre were developed and assessed. These four options range in scope, benefits delivered, capital cost and operational impact.
The four options considered were:
· No frills replacement – an option that retains the existing Ivan Wilson Pool Complex and replaces the ‘Old Pool’ and existing Learn to Swim Pool with new pools
· Expand Ivan Wilson - an extension of existing facilities at a build cost of $19.5 million
· New build 25m - a new pool complex comprising three new pools, a café and a water play area, with a new community fitness and wellness centre, at a build cost of $37 million
· New build 50m - a new pool complex comprising three new pools including a 50m pool, a café and a water play area, with a new community fitness and wellness centre, at a build cost of $38 million.
Of these options, Council approved proceeding to informal community consultation with the options; Expand Ivan Wilson, New build 25m and New build 50m.
The purpose of the Napier Aquatic Centre Redevelopment community engagement was to provide opportunities for the public to give feedback on their preference of the three redevelopment options for the Aquatic Centre based in Onekawa.
2.3 Issues
The three Napier Aquatic Centre redevelopment options are:
· Option 1: Ivan Wilson expansion – an extension of existing facilities at a build cost of $19.5 million
· Option 2: The 25 metre new build – a new pool complex comprising three new pools, a café and a water play area, with a new community fitness and wellness centre, at a build cost of $37 million
· Option 3: The 50 metre new build – a new pool complex comprising three new pools including a 50m pool, a café and a water play area, with a new community fitness and wellness centre, at a build cost of $38 million.
The final option that Council will proceed with, will be approved through the formal LTP consultation process.
The community engagement results returned a different preferred option than what was recommended in the options for expansion business case. While Option 3 is projected to be a little more costly to build and more costly to operate, the unequivocal nature of the consultation results indicates that this is the community’s preferred option.
The designs of Option 3 included a 50m x 21m pool based on the requirements of the Napier Community. It has since been indicated that a 50m x 25m pool would be preferable to enable the pool to be divided into separate pool tanks across the width to cater for a greater number of activities; this will be reviewed during the design and costing phase.
The designs for Option 3 also include a programme pool that is 8m x 15m. Feedback from Aquatic Centre staff and from some users indicate that these dimensions may be too small to properly cater for the programme activities. This needs to be considered during detailed design factoring the configuration, depth and temperature of the 50m pool to ensure that each user group is catered for.
2.4 Significance and Consultation
Feedback on the redevelopment options for Napier Aquatic Centre was sought from aquatic facility users, immediate neighbours, businesses and stakeholders, and the wider community between 21 August and 18 September 2017.
This feedback was sought via:
· A morning tea meeting was held with aqua class and other pool users at the Aquatic Centre.
· Letters and surveys were sent to residents, businesses and stakeholders in the immediate area.
· A Spring Open Day was held with free entry to the Aquatic Centre.
· Voting boxes for each of the three options were placed in the Aquatic Centre, with users asked to vote for their preferred option using a token.
· Information was posted on Napier City Council’s website (www.napier.govt.nz) and Facebook page.
Through each of these events and forums, people were encouraged to complete a survey to indicate their preferred option for the Napier Aquatic Centre redevelopment. In addition to the survey, which was the more formal component of the consultation, more informal consultation was conducted through online feedback through the Napier City Council website, Facebook feedback and the use of voting boxes in the Aquatic Centre.
Survey results
Out of the 339 surveys received, 76.5% indicated a preference for Option 3.
Figure 1: Napier Aquatic Expansion Survey results – Preferred option
Respondents to the survey were asked to indicate the method of payment they would prefer for redevelopment of the Aquatic Centre. Three quarters (74.8%) selected a mix of rates and user pays.
Reasons for using the pools also varied – with the highest levels of use for either leisure and play (56%) or health and fitness (52%). The pool complex is also used for sports club training (10%) and/or swimming lessons (19%). Note that people could indicate more than one reason for using the pools (Figure 3).
Other Engagement:
Online (web) feedback
People were given the opportunity to provide feedback online (www.napier.govt.nz keyword #talkaquatic) from 24 August 2017. They were also able to select their preferred option for expansion of the Aquatic Centre through an informal online poll.
This poll ran for a short time to give an alternative to a radio poll that had been established, in order for Napier City Council to receive some immediate feedback on the options out in the media.
Figure 3: Napier Aquatic Expansion - Online feedback results
Aquatic Centre voting boxes
People using the Aquatic Centre after the Spring Open Day were invited to place a bingo ‘token’ into one of three voting boxes, each representing the three proposed Aquatic Centre options. It should be noted that regular users of the existing facility had multiple opportunities to vote using the voting boxes, which is reflected in the response to the 50m New Build opition.
Figure 4: Napier Aquatic Expansion – Voting box results
All channels
While combining the results of the survey and the results of other consultation methods is not necessarily statistically relevant, it nonetheless paints an interesting picture of the total consultation results.
Figure 5: Total results combined
Across all engagement channels, a wide range of feedback about the redevelopment was provided. The main themes were:
· Future proofing – ensuring any new development is built with a long term vision in mind so that additional costs are not incurred by the City at a later date
· Investment – recognising that the redevelopment offers an opportunity for the residents of Napier, visitors and the economy alike
· Accessibility – ensuring the redevelopment adequately considers accessibility, including disability access for adults and children, and their caregivers
· Multiple use – making sure lane swimming, training, and leisure pool use can all be accommodated at the same time
· Variety – excitement about the range of activities offered by Options 2 and 3, including high levels of interest in the lazy river, bombing pool, outdoor activities, and the pool options
· Competitions – encouraging national and international competitions in Napier through the inclusion of a 50m pool
· Gym facility – some respondents questioned the need for a gym with some perceiving an over-supply of gyms in Napier, while other recognised the need to have a gym facility on site for wrap-around rehabilitation and wellbeing services. It should be noted that the proposed gym is intended for community fitness and programmes such as the existing Aquamax programme. It is not intended to be a conventional commercial gym facility.
· Spa pools – ensuring adequate numbers of spa pools, some within eyesight of children’s pool areas, and others located in a quieter space.
Facebook feedback
Napier City Council placed six posts to the Council’s Facebook page. Posts were made on 21, 22, and 30 August. Then on 3 and 4 September.
The first post (21 August) received the greatest response: 1,005 reactions, comments and shares. There were 13,953 post clicks.
The final post on 4 September included the cost clarification information – this received 24 likes and 590 post clicks.
An analysis of the Facebook comments shows that most people support Option 3, with the 50 metre pool (of all comments indicating support for one of the options, approximately nine out of ten stated a preference for Option 3). Many commented that such a facility will service the needs of residents into the future.
The complete Record of Community Engagement: Napier Aquatic Centre Redevelopment – October 2017 report is attached.
2.5 Implications
Financial
A project design, schedule and cost estimate is being developed for inclusion in the 2018/28 LTP. A preliminary cost estimate of $38m was used for consultation purposes as an indicator of likely capital costs. The preferred option will now be developed further through detailed designs and costings and included in the Long Term Plan consultation document.
Risk
There are financial risks around the costs of construction associated with the current buoyant construction market, the nature of the soil on the site, the phasing of the build process to minimise disruption to activity within the current facility and the potential additional infrastructure requirements. These risks will be mitigated through the Napier Aquatic Centre Project Schedule and Cost Estimate work currently underway.
There is a risk associated with proceeding with the largest option that it will provide more capacity than the community requires, therefore incurring costs without the offsetting revenue from high utilisation.
There is a construction risk associated with the fact that the site is an old landfill, which may contribute to the costs of site preparation. While it is not estimated that the landfill material is too deep into the ground, the material is potentially hazardous. This risk is recognised and will be mitigated through proper investigation of the site.
2.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
1. To receive the consultation summary and progress Option 3 for developed design, costing and scheduling.
2. To receive the consultation summary and progress an alternative option.
2.7 Development of Preferred Option
The community have overwhelmingly supported Option 3 – the 50m New Build option. While the 50m New Build comes at a comparatively small increased capital cost, it is considered that with new technologies the pool space will be able to provide flexible pool tanks to cater for greater numbers, offsetting the operational costs further. These technological advancements will be explored further in the design component and costings. For these reasons Option 3 is the preferred option.
Consultants been engaged to develop an initial cost loaded project schedule for the Napier Aquatic centre project. This work will identify the capital budget required to be incorporated to the first three years of the LTP. The cost loaded schedule is expected to be completed by early December 2017 and will be included in the draft LTP for formal community consultation.

3.2 Background Summary
As part of its ongoing commitment to actively seek the opinions and involvement of citizens, Napier City Council commissions the National Research Bureau Ltd to conduct a wide ranging survey of its citizens. This is the 25th year Council has commissioned this survey. The results of the survey are used in the Council’s planning processes and are also included in the annual report performance results for the various significant activities.
The Communitrak Survey is a scientifically prepared service based on a random probability sample. The 2017 survey is based on a sample of 450 telephone interviews which gives a margin of error of 5%. Weightings are then applied to the data to reflect the actual male/female/age/ethnic proportions in these areas. The survey results give comparisons with New Zealand as a whole and a Peer Group Average (similarly constituted Local Authorities). The results are analysed on the basis of the four wards; Ahuriri, Onekawa-Tamatea, Nelson Park and Taradale, in line with the electoral boundaries.
3.3 Overall Results
Overall satisfaction levels with various services and facilities are comparable with those in the 2016 survey with only a few changes. Public Gardens, Street beds and trees, Parks and Reserves and Refuse Collection remain the top scoring activities and the lower scoring activities are Swimming pools, MTG Hawke's Bay and Council’s Policies to promote job opportunities. As in past years Napier continues to score well in comparison to the New Zealand average and the peer group comparison.
The satisfaction levels have increased for Parking in the Suburbs (up 6%), Town Planning (up 7%) and Library Services (up 5%).
Decreases in satisfaction were with Water Supply (down 25%), Job Promotion (down 6%) and Swimming Pools (down 4%).
The significant decrease in water supply satisfaction is the result of five water supply bacteriological compliance transgressions that occurred in the network and the ensuing chlorination of the Napier water supply, Chlorination commenced on 24 May 2017 and the NRB Survey interviews were conducted two weeks after this between Friday 9th June and Sunday 18th June 2017. Council has included an additional 1% increase in rates in the 2017/18 Annual Plan for drinking water related works.
The decrease in satisfaction for Job Promotion results from a 9% increase in “don’t know” responses and the swimming pool satisfaction decrease resulted from the Ivan Wilson Complex being closed while work was done to bring it up to seismic standards. Council is currently considering options for the Napier Aquatic Centre expansion project. The inclusion of Job promotion in future surveys will be assessed as Council does not actually perform a job promotion function within its function of economic development and is therefore an incorrect and misleading measure.
A summary of the results with comparisons to the previous years are included below. These graphs give a good indication of trends which are important elements to the Council’s planning and budgeting process.
3.4 Other Specific Results

1.1 Purpose of Report
To provide a summary of findings from the Napier Social Monitor report 2017.
In response to questions from councillors, it was clarified that: · Information from the report is available to other agencies via our public website but is not directly shared. · No other agencies contribute towards the cost of the report. · The type of information included in the report is under review. This is because many matters, while interesting as an indicator of shifts in themes for the community, are not within the scope of Council to make changes if required.
