Sustainable Napier Committee - 05 May 2022 - Open Agenda Item 2

2. Central Football Relocation of Proposed Artificial Turf at Park Island

Type of Report:	Procedural
Legal Reference:	Reserves Act 1977
Document ID:	1455857
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Jason Tickner, Team Leader Parks, Reserves and Sportsgrounds

2.1 Purpose of Report

To seek approval for Central Football Incorporated and Napier City Council to undertake an investigation and consultation regarding the possible relocation of the proposed artificial soccer turf in a location contrary to the endorsed location in the Park Island Masterplan Plan and Plan Change 11.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a) Approve that Central Football Incorporated and Napier City Council advance investigations and consultation regarding the possible relocation of their proposed artificial soccer turf in a location contrary to the proposed location in the Park Island Masterplan and Plan Change 11.

b) Report back to Council the outcome and recommendation of these investigations and consultation for decision prior to any Resource Management Act 1991 and Reserves Act 1977 processes being progressed.

2.2 Background Summary

Over the last 10 years Park Island has had two Masterplans and corresponding District Plan Changes endorsed by Council to ensure that the park would meet the current and growing needs of the community. As part of the original Masterplan it was identified the need for an artificial turf for football and related infrastructure (parking, changing facilities etc.) adjacent to Bluewater Stadium.

Funding was provided in earlier iterations of the LTP but these funds were redirected in the 2021 LTP. Council have however allocated a $500,000 grant to Central Football in 2023/24 financial year for the development of an artificial football turf at Park Island subject ‘to Central Football having a full and complete understanding of the total cost of their project and having completed fundraising required to fund their share of the total cost of the project’.

Central football have started this investigation and have determined that the cost to develop in the location identified in the Master Plan has a number of challenges and costs associated that makes the project untenable/unlikely to proceed. These primarily being;

a) Substantial cost to ‘underground’ the 33KV overhead power lines

b) Additional cost to construct a suitable number of car parks in close proximity to the facility

c) Additional cost to develop changing facilities to support the proposed turf development and use.

On this basis Central Football have undertaken their own investigation and associated Business Case and concluded that, in their opinion the most desirable location to establish the new artificial turf is at the front of Shrimpton Field. This site was selected as it makes best utilisation of existing parking and changing room facilities, and avoids the 33KV power lines, saving substantial cost. This proposed relocation is shown in the plan below:

A copy of the business case and supporting documentation has been included in Attachment 1.

2.3 Issues

There are a number of likely issues associated with relocating a facility already identified in a Council endorsed Masterplan, especially given this has informed and been adopted into the District Plan. For the most part these issues have been listed below, and would require thorough consideration if Council approve such investigation;

a) Resource Consent requirements – as the proposal is not in accordance with the Masterplan adopted into the District Plan, Central Football would most likely be required to gain resource consent for the development of the field in this new position.

b) Enclosing public space – the proposal is to fence the facility off from the general public, fundamentally making the facility a user pay site and a lease needing to be held by Central Football. Any such lease would require notification under the Reserves Act and Council Approval. There may also be CPTED and amenity and connectivity implications/issues depending on the final location of the facility.

c) Increased demand on existing facilities – the parking and changing room facilities around Shrimpton Field are already well subscribed during weekend winter sports. This development will likely add to this potential demand.

d) Conversion of sports fields - there is likely to be some reduction of capacity to other users of Shrimpton Field if the Central Football proposal is successful. In the case of the proposed plans there would be a loss of one to two cricket fields and two grass soccer fields.

e) Implications on the wider Masterplan and ability to achieve the broader vision.

f) Alternative Locations or Layouts – there may be other options, locations or configuration that is more suitable for all users and should be investigated as well.

2.4 Significance and Engagement

This matter does not trigger the Significance and Engagement Policy, however specific engagement with the various codes and users of Park Island is considered necessary in any decision making around the relocation of the proposed Artificial Turf.

Central Football have undertaken initial consultation with a number of sports clubs and associations with an interest in Park Island. Their initial comments are included below:

Organistion	Person	Position	Organisation Comments/Positioning
Hawke’s Bay Cricket Association	Craig Findlay	Chief Executive	Craig and Hawke’s Bay Cricket are supportive in principle. Craig obviously would like to understand any potential ramifications for the current cricket blocks on Shrimpton Field.
Hawke’s Bay Hockey Association	Strahan McIntosh	General Manager	Strahan and Hawke’s Bay Hockey are fully supportive. They had concerns around how the turf being located as per the current LTP would impact on their facility infrastructure in terms of parking and access.
Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union	Jay Campbell	Chief Executive	Jay and Hawke’s Bay Rugby are fully supportive. Jay did allude to the possible use rugby could make of the turf, therefore not only optimising usage but also contributing to the financial modelling.
Napier City Rovers AFC	Graeme Sole/Chris McIvor	Chair/General Manager	Graeme, Chris and their Board are fully supportive of the proposed move of the turf to Shrimpton Field.
Napier Marist Football Club	Glenn Resiteaux	Chair	Glenn and the Napier Marsist Football Club Committee are fully supportive of moving the proposed turf to Shrimpton Field.

The Central Football Business Case did identify that the Dog Action Group, Richmondvale Archery Club, NOBM Rugby Club and Mana Ahuriri Trust had not yet been approached for comment at the time of providing this information to Council.

If Council approve the Officer’s recommendation, a full Engagement Plan will need to be prepared by NCC to inform the process and to ensure appropriate engagement takes place in accordance with our Engagement Policy guidelines.

2.5 Implications

Financial

Central Football have undertaken some higher level costing of the development of the artificial turf in the currently approved (Bond Field) and proposed (Shrimpton Field) locations.

As identified, the major cost differentiation is the development of additional car parking, changing facilities and undergrounding of the 33KV power lines that would be required in the current approved location for the new turf.

With exception of the $500,000 council grant, all capital cost will need to be funded or fund raised by Central Football.

There is limited operational budget increases due the artificial nature of the turf, however there is likely to be some future costs in renewing the facility as it ages. As is the case with the some of the other artificial sport turf facilities in Napier, there is a likelihood that Council would be approached for part or full funding for the facility renewal in time.

Social & Policy

The establishment of the facility aligns with the following Community Outcomes and Strategic Goals from the 2021 LTP;

· Our services and facilities provide for the social, cultural and recreational needs of our community, and;

· Our community’s wellbeing and city vibrancy will be enhanced through our encouragement of sport, culture and events.

The development of the facility does meet the intent of the Masterplan in providing the soccer playing community an all-weather facility, albeit not the intended position. This proposed location may have other ramifications for other users and the use of the park hence the need to be investigated further and weigh up the all of the options as part of any recommendation to relocate or not.

It is noted that the Masterplan does reference ‘to remain viable a master plan has to be dynamic and have a degree of flexibility because it needs to be able to respond to change as well as guide it’.

Risk

The risks of relocating the proposed facility will be investigated as part of the proposed reporting, but in general these risks include, but are not limited too;

a) Resource Consent risks - may require affected Persons Consents from other clubs/users, possible Limited or Public Notification, and the consent could be declined under the RMA.

b) Objections from other users/Codes – risk of conflict with other users and objection to the reduction in open space or field capacity for other codes

c) Design risks – issues with fencing off public space, amenity effects and CPTED issues associated with poor design or location

d) Cost increase of development - risk due to inflation and construction cost outstripping ability to fundraise

2.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a. That Central Football Incorporated and Napier City Council advance investigations and consultation regarding the possible relocation of their proposed artificial soccer turf

b. Decline the request from Central Football and require that the facility be built in accordance with the endorsed Master Plan

2.7 Development of Preferred Option

a) Approve that Central Football Incorporated and Napier City Council advance investigations and consultation regarding the possible relocation of their proposed artificial soccer turf contrary to the endorsed location in the Park Island Masterplan.

b) That the outcome and recommendation of these investigations and consultation be reported back to Council for a decision prior to any Resource Management Act 1991 and Reserves Act 1977 processes being progressed.

Sustainable Napier Committee - 05 May 2022 - Open Agenda Item 3

3. Proposed MacRae Field Toilet

Type of Report:	Operational and Procedural
Legal Reference:	Local Government Act 2002
Document ID:	1454528
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Jason Tickner, Team Leader Parks, Reserves and Sportsgrounds

3.1 Purpose of Report

Request for additional capital and operational funding for a public toilet facility at the Park Island Northern Sports Hub extension (MacRae Field).

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Approve the proposed installation of a toilet facility at the MacRae Field to facilitate the growth and development of Park Island (Northern Sports Hub)

b. Approve $83,640 of capital funding from the Financial Contributions fund for this proposed public toilet facility

c. Approve additional annual operational budget of $4,950 for this increased level of service for the proposed public toilet facility

3.2 Background Summary

Under the last LTP capital funding for the majority of the Council led development of the park was redirected, with some seed funding retained for specific clubs and associations to develop their facilities (i.e. HB Hockey and Central Football).

However, Council has recently completed the construction of the new MacRae Field, adjacent to the Hawkes Bay Rugby Football Union (HBRFU) building, at the corner of Westminster Avenue and Orotu Drive. This development was part of the Northern Sports Hub extension under the masterplan.

Since the completion of the new MacRae Field we have had reports and complaints of the distinct lack of a toilet facility for players and users of the park.

To address the current shortfall in toilet facilities it is proposed that Council repurpose an existing prefabricated dual toilet block currently stored at the City Services Depot. The toilet block we are repurposing was previously located on Marine Parade, but was removed as part of the Reef Garden development. This toilet would be established adjacent to the MacRae Field as a public toilet facility to provide conveniences for users of the park and the wider Parklands and Tamatea community that has seen substantial residential growth. An example of the proposed toilet facility is shown below:

The proposed location will be north of the new car park area next to MacRae field and is shown in the plan below;

There is ongoing conversations with another sports club to establish in this general area and discussions that as part of a club development a changing room and toilet facility could be incorporated, however these plans are only in their infancy with no certainty around timing or funding.

3.3 Issues

There is the obvious issue of inappropriate ablutions in a public space which has triggered the need for the proposed facility. This lack of facility also has environmental impacts.

There is also an issue of funding this facility from a capital and operational perspective given it is an increase in the level of service which was not identified or budgeted in the 2021/22 Annual Plan.

3.4 Significance and Engagement

HBRFU have been engaged in the process from a need perspective and the Councils Building Team have also been consulted regarding the Building Consent process. If funding is approved further engagement with these parties will take place.

City Services have been engaged and have been providing the price estimates for the construction and operational cost for the proposed facility.

No further engagement has been undertaken or considered necessary given the existing approved masterplan for the area and minor nature of the building and works.

3.5 Implications

Financial

As council already own this building there will be no need for funding for the building itself, just the install, however there will be a shift of this infrastructure asset in our end of year capitalisation from store to Park Island.

An estimate for the install of the toilet block has been received at $69,700. This is based on repurposing an existing toilet block we have in storage. To address any contingencies, an additional 20% is recommended to be added on top of this value, especially given the current construction environment. This makes the total capital funding request equate to $83,640.

As this project is related to the growth of the cities sporting facilities and the growth of Parklands, it is considered that the most appropriate funding source is the Financial Contributions Fund. This has been discussed with our finance team and there is currently sufficient budget in this fund to facilitate this project.

In regard to the operational cost, City Service have identified that the additional facility will cost an approximately $4,950 per year to clean, maintain and service. This will be a rates funded cost.

Social & Policy

The proposed toilet block proposal aligns with the Annual Plan Level of Service to ‘provide adequate toilets that are accessible, available and appropriately located for use by the public to safeguard the health of the community through the appropriate disposal of human waste in high use community area.

The toilet will be fully accessible as to align with our NCC Disability Strategy and Building Act requirements.

Risk

The main risks of the proposal are as follows:

a) Funding shortfall – to mitigate this we have provided up to date building estimates for works and contingency value included.

b) Vandalism of Facility – This is a risk with any public facility and is budgeted for under the Public Toilet cost centre

c) Inappropriate use – this is a risk with any public toilet facility, however it is proposed that the facility is locked at night will mitigate some of this risk

d) Regulatory delays – The structure will need a building consent and confirmation under the District Plan that it is a permitted use.

3.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a. Approve and fund the proposed prefabricated toilet block install and operation

b. Delay installation and investigate the construction and cost of a full changing rooms and toilet facility

c. Do nothing and wait for future club development on the site to proceed with any toilet block facility

d. Delay project and request funding in next LTP cycle

3.7 Development of Preferred Option

Approve and fund the proposed prefabricated toilet block install and operation

Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Anze Lencek, Water Quality Lead

4.1 Purpose of Report

To inform the Council on:

- the status of Napier Water Supply (NAP001) at the end of the third quarter (Q3) of 2021-2022 compliance year

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Endorse the report on Napier Water Supply Status end of Q3 2021-2022

4.2 Background Summary

Information presented in this Report is NCC 3 Waters Team’s best understanding and interpretation of Drinking-water Standards for New Zealand 2008 (revised 2018) (DWSNZ) and Health Act requirements and our adherence to those requirements – the regulator body (Taumata Arowai) might have a different view when undertaking an annual compliance assessment at the end of the compliance year.

Previously Officers reported quarterly to the Drinking Water Assessor as the regulator via the District Health Board on water supply. Taumata Arowai are now the regulator and it is Officers’ understanding that reporting to Taumata Arowai is required annually or by exception. Officers will continue to report to Council quarterly and this report will form part of the annual report to Taumata Arowai along with all other testing results.

4.3 Issues

The following points highlight the main issues and events relating to the supply that occurred in Q3.

A) Summary of any significant events that have occurred and changes to any of the supply elements, WSP and regulatory framework

§ Water Safety Plan (WSP). Consultants Tonkin & Taylor produced and shared a draft WSP with NCC on 7 March 2022. WSP is currently being finalised with both parties input. Source Water Risk Management Plan draft is yet to be produced by the consultant, works are ongoing and close to completion.

§ Water Take Site. On 1 March 2022 the dedicated Water Take Site at the end of Thames Street became the only site where approved contractors can take water from the reticulation going forward while fire hydrants water take permits have been revoked.

§ Mains cleaning. This year’s annual mains cleaning programme (aka pigging) will commence in May 2022 and will start in areas that have been missed in 2021 due to Covid-19 lockdown (Tamatea and Parklands).

§ Taumata Arowai. Draft versions of new Drinking Water Standards, Drinking Water Acceptable Solutions, Drinking Water Network Environmental Performance, Drinking Water Aesthetic Values and Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules (released 20 December 2021) have undergone public consultation (17 January - 28 March 2022). NCC, Hastings District Council, Central Hawke’s Bay District Council and Wairoa District Council made a joined submission on all proposed draft documents.

B) Summary of progress against the WSP Improvement Plan

Improvement Plan is currently being reviewed and updated within WSP review process and the progress against the Plan will be reported once again when the new WSP is finalised and published.

C) Summary of significant reactive maintenance and major operations events

Q1:

- Nil.

Q2:

- Otatara Reservoir hatch alarm incident. An open hatch alarm was received 8:05 pm on 22 November 2021. The inspection confirmed the padlock was unlocked and the outer hatch possibly opened and closed back. The inner hatch was in place. Depot isolated the reservoir 8:30pm and secured undisrupted provision of the supply area fed by the reservoir by forcing-on the Otatara booster. Extensive sampling including microbial, chemical and physical tests revealed no signs of contamination of the water inside the isolated reservoir. The reservoir was drained, cleaned, superchlorinated and retested before put back to service on 27 November 2021 at 2.00pm. Risk assessments into security of all reservoirs are part of the current WSP review process and the potential threats will be addressed and appropriate corrective actions outlined in the Improvement Plan.

5. Report on Three Waters Reform Programme

Type of Report:	Information
Legal Reference:	N/A
Document ID:	1456775
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Rebecca Huckle, Three Waters Reform Programme Manager

5.1 Purpose of Report

To inform the Council on the progress of the Three Waters Reform Programme within Napier.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Endorse the report on the Three Waters Reform Programme.

5.2 Background Summary

Three Waters Reform Programme was launched by the Government to reform local government three waters (3W - Water Supply, Wastewater and Stormwater) alongside the appointment of a new regulator. It is now over halfway through its three year anticipated duration with the programme of readiness due to complete in the next four months.

Napier City Council has undertaken a programme of work in readiness for this reform with funding support from the DIA to the tune of $12.5m over a period of 20 months (November 2020- June 2022).

The goal for Council over this timeframe is to catch up on operational work that has not been prioritised in the past and to ensure that the assets, services, the data and the people are in the best state possible moving as the reform process progresses.

The key principles of Napier City Council’s programme are:

• Improved capacity and capability to accelerate infrastructure projects

• Preparation of the team and local industry for upcoming standards as part of reform process

• Improving safety and quality of drinking water by fast tracking delivery of low manganese water to reduce dirty water events and address fire-flow issues

• Improving community and Māori/iwi engagement

• Upgrades to the three waters asset management system and maintenance management transformation programme

5.3 Issues

The Water Quality Improvement (Low Manganese Water) project and the Water Safety Plan Improvements project are both experiencing on-going delays due Covid-19 related disruption within the supply chain, including:

1. Procurement of materials and equipment, including water quality analysers.

2. Sub-contractors and third party utilities providing services to the projects.

5.4 Significance and Engagement

This programme is engaging with mana whenua through the Iwi engagement on Three Waters and Cultural Values Assessments programme of work. This piece of work aims to extend the Council’s capacity and capability for engaging with Māori, including development of a cultural values assessment.

Council consulted with residents during the 2020/2021 summer break around what the community saw as key issues. 3W concerns were highlighted by this consultation, noting that some of the projects in the reform programme going some way to addressing these concerns in combination with “business as usual” work.

5.5 Implications

Financial

Council has been given $12.51m by the DIA to undertake a programme of work in addition to business-as-usual programmes. Detailed financial reporting on this spend is required quarterly to the DIA as part of the MOU, including hours spent by staff on each activity. Council has supplied co-funding for some of the projects, with the total anticipated spend for this project at $19.25m

To date the committed spend against all projects is $17.93m, with $1.3m yet to be committed. Actual Spend to end March is $13.44m

The attached report indicates current progress on the programme of work.

The projects and associated DIA spend are as follows:

COUNCIL	PROJECT	VALUE
Napier Total - $12.51m	Capital Projects: • Alternative Water Supply – address dirty water issues • Water Safety Plan - delivery of improvement items • Fire Flow Network Upgrades to meet levels of service • Scoping Three Waters Master Plan Projects – additional resources to assist with the delivery of the current and reform capital plan • Te Awa Structure Plan – Three Waters - additional funding to develop water infrastructure in Te Awa • Pandora Industrial Waste – works associated with trade waste and understanding flow and composition • Review of private water supplies – provide upgraded supply for the Meeanee School hall	$10.05m
	Planning and Asset Management Projects: • Parks Water Bores Investigation and Implementation – assessment of bores and commence consenting process for water conservation • Essential Service Planning and Contributions Policy – ensure that three waters programmes are funded appropriately to develop the networks • Maintenance Management Practices - Develop maintenance management practices and workflows and integrate these into the Asset Management System • Delivery Improvement Review – systems and process development • Asset Management Systems & Data Collection • Three Water Models & Masterplans – peer review of models, additional calibration, and peer review of master plans	$1.95m
	Collaborative Projects: • Iwi engagement on Three Waters and Cultural Values Assessments – extending the capacity and capability for engaging with Māori, including development of a cultural values assessment • Regional Water Projects	$520k

Progress:

Water Quality Improvement is progressing with the completion of the A3 bore at Meeanee Road. Work is underway on the new bore (T8) at Guppy Road, Taradale with a temporary drilling pad and accessway being constructed, anticipated depth is 80m.

Fireflow Network Upgrades has completed with commissioning having taken place in March.

A Peer review of the Three Waters Models is now underway with the three consultancies contracted (Beca, GHD and Tonkin + Taylor) working with the original modelers Stantec. Structure Plans are also progressing with GHD, with phase one to be complete by 30^th June, phase two will complete later in the year with BAU funding.

Asset Management Systems and Data Collection continues with the upgrade of the current system, with contractors engaged and onboard. Significant progress has been made with

Delivery Improvement Review work targeting carbon zero and climate risk & maturity continues. Reports from consultants undertaking the work have been provided and are being reviewed.

Iwi Engagement continues with the support of Te Waka Rangapū. The first of a series of wānanga with Ngati Pārau took place on the 11th of March. This included site visits to the Wastewater Treatment Plant, Mataruahou and the Westshore tidal gates. Te Taiwhenua will present a draft workplan to Council by the end of April. Anticipated underspend has been allocated against the Water Quality Improvement Plan project to decrease its co-funding spend.

Regional Collaboration Projects have now ceased due to lack of traction. After discussion with the Programme Manager for this piece of work, NCC’s portion of the underspend, including the portion for the contestable fund has been returned to the Council’s budget and allocated against the Water Safety Plan Improvements project.

Crown Infrastructure Partners (who monitor the projects for DIA) have completed an audit of the programme focussing on four of the projects (Water Quality Improvement, Water Safety Plan Improvements, Te Awa Structure Plan and AM Systems & Data Collection. There have been some small recommendations as a result, which can be addressed in the coming month alongside DIA final reporting.

Social & Policy

There are no social and/or policy implications associated with this report.

Risk

There is a risk of further Covid-19 related disruption to both the Water Quality Improvement (Low Manganese Water) project and the Water Safety Plan Improvement projects, where Trility is the main contractor for both, arising from the following:

1. Delay to the procurement of structural steel (Water Quality Improvement project only).

2. Delay to completion of software design due to key sub-contractor contracting Covid-19.

The cost and time impact for both projects are summarised below:

1. Water Quality Improvement project

a. Practical Completion date delayed 4 weeks beyond 30^th June DIA funding date.

b. $60,000 approx. worth of committed contract costs to be incurred beyond 30^th June 2022 DIA funding date.

c. Council staff and consultant time (and cost) for continued involvement in delivering the project.

2. Water Safety Plan Improvement project

a. Practical Completion date delayed 4 weeks beyond 30^th June DIA funding date.

b. $70,000 approx. worth of committed contract costs to be incurred beyond 30^th June 2022 DIA funding date.

c. Council staff and consultant time (and cost) for continued involvement in delivering the project.

The mitigations to be applied to both projects are summarised below:

1. Sooner than required purchase of off-site materials and equipment.

2. Resequencing of delivery programme, where possible, to mitigate delayed projects (as far as possible) while still achieving quality standards.

3. FY 22/23 Water Project budget funding available to cover committed costs incurred after the 30^th June 2022 DIA funding date.

6. Adoption of the Code of Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure

Type of Report:	Procedural
Legal Reference:	Resource Management Act 1991
Document ID:	1456794
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Retha du Preez, Team Leader Development and Standards

6.1 Purpose of Report

For Council to:

· Note the key changes to the Code of Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure.

· Adopt the proofread Code for Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure, March 2022.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Note the key changes to the Code of Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure.

a. Adopt the proofread Code of Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure, March 2022.

6.2 Background Summary

The Code of Practice for Land Development and Subdivision Infrastructure (the Code) sets the standard for the design and construction of public infrastructure within the Napier City territorial boundary. The Code sets out performance criteria for land development and subdivision infrastructure and provides a means of compliance with the obligatory requirements of the Napier City District Plan and the Resource Management Act.

The Code has been significantly updated from the pre-existing “Code of Practice for Subdivision and Land Development – Parts A, B, C and D to M” dated March 2019 because the document was difficult to follow. These Parts have been reviewed and incorporated into the Code and/or referred to the District Plan as follows:

· Part A: Resource Management Requirements – are almost entirely contained within the District Plan (with the exception of Section 7.2) and duplicated in the Appendices which form part of the Code

· Part B: Engineering Performance Criteria – which sets minimum criteria, are now integrated throughout the Code.

· Part C: Engineering Standards – sets the mandatory requirements, are now located in Sections 2.1.1, 3.1.1, 4.1.1, 5.1.1, 6.1.1 and 7.1.1 of the Code.

· Parts D to M: Design and Construction (a Means of Compliance) – is integrated throughout the Code.

The Code’s structure has been aligned with NZS4404 for easy reference between the documents and duplications have been removed. In drafting the Code, more reliance was placed on industry documents, seismic resilience, and sustainability which follows the best practice guidelines in New Zealand. A review was undertaken of all the as-built drawings to better align these drawings with Council and developers' expectations.

The changes and amendments to the Code are intended to better align the Code with:

· NZS4404:2010 (Land Development & Subdivision Infrastructure Standard)

· Hastings District Council documentation

· National and International Standards

· Environmental Regulation Changes, Sustainability and Climate Change best practices

· Industry best practise guidelines

The philosophy underpinning the Code is to:

· Maximise the efficient use of infrastructure resources to ensure that any infrastructural development work is cost-effective and appropriate for the long term.

· Provide a means to achieve requirements set down in the District Plan, resource consents, or contracts when specified.

· Provide a means for alternative/innovative design and construction to be considered when undertaking infrastructure development or development works.

· Provide context and support to urban design when considering development works proposals.

· Be used for the design and construction of new infrastructure and maintenance of existing infrastructure, including asset renewal, unless the standards are not compatible with the existing standards.

The revised Code will provide clarity and alignment for the developing community and provides for a more resilient sustainable infrastructure for Napier City Council.

The Draft Code was released for comment in parallel with the Draft District Plan during August and September 2021. Feedback was received from Napier City Council Infrastructure teams and the Hawkes Bay Regional Council with minor changes recommended to the Code.

6.3 Issues

The pre-existing Code of Practice for Subdivision and Land Development was difficult to follow. The document does not include the latest industry best practices or requirements for seismic resilience or best practices to make provision for future climate change. Furthermore, the existing Code does not align with Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) guidelines, Hastings District Council and industry best practice guidelines which confuses the development community.

6.4 Significance and Engagement

The draft Code was released for comment in parallel with the Draft District Plan during August and September 2021. Feedback was received from Napier City Council Infrastructure and Environmental teams and the Hawkes Bay Regional Council with minor changes recommended to The Code.

6.5 Implications

Financial

Being a technical document there are no direct financial implications.

Social & Policy

N/A

Risk

Being a technical document there are no direct risks associated with the report. The risk to Council associated with the Code is that if Council does not proactively review and integrated the latest industry requirements, Council’s infrastructure will be reliant on older infrastructure guidelines that do not address sufficiently a more resilient and sustainable infrastructure.

6.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a. Adopt the attached Code of Practice for Subdivision and Land Development, March 2022, once proofreading completed.

b. Status Quo – The Code of Practice for Subdivision and Land Development – Parts A, B, C and D to M” dated March 2019.

6.7 Development of Preferred Option

Adopt the Code of Practice for Subdivision and Land Development, March 2022.

Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Jon Kingsford, Director Programme Delivery

1.1 Purpose of Report

To provide Council with information on the 2021 Long Term Plan (LTP) Capital Programme and initiatives underway to improve Capital Programme Delivery.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Receive the report titled “Capital Programme Delivery”.

1.2 Background Summary

Situational update

Covid-19 continues to impact on planned timeframes associated with the delivery of Napier’s capital programme both in terms of planning and construction. This is resulting in completion dates for phases of work on a number of projects being pushed out. For projects in the construction phase these delays have been exacerbated further by prolonged wet weather (Napier has received just over half its annual rainfall in February and March).

Ongoing issues with supply chains are also causing delays in expenditure, with a number of projects having financial commitment but not expenditure.

Annual inflation has hit 6.9 per cent for the year to 31 March 2022, the largest move since a 7.6 per cent annual increase in the year to June 1990 quarter.

Capital Programme Summary

Currently the Design and Projects team have 40 projects in progress to the value of $22 million, with the balance of projects being managed within each activity to which they relate.

Projects Going to Tender

The following notable projects are progressing through the tender in this reporting period:

· Pandora Industrial Pipeline Flow Meters

· Taradale Library Air-conditioning Upgrade – Registration Of Interest

· Western Hills Cemetery Extension Stage 2

· Supply and Maintenance of Public Space Closed Circuit Television Cameras

· War Memorial Roll of Honour Plaque Restoration

· Civil Building Demolition - Request for Proposal

· Internal Audit Services for Hawkes Bay 5 Councils - Request for Proposal

Contracts Awarded

The following notable projects have successfully completed the procurement process in this reporting period:

· Essex Street Playground Civil Works

· Maggies Way – Dolbel to Otatara

Projects nearing/at completion

The following notable project is nearing completion of the construction phase in this reporting period:

· FW2 Fire flows network upgrades

The attached report (Appendix 1) further demonstrates the progress of notable projects currently underway.

Processes Undergoing Review

In order to improve programme delivery performance, a number of initiatives and reviews are in place. The objective of these reviews is to ensure processes are fit for purpose and as efficient as possible with respect to the time to complete them. A selection of these work packages are summarised below:

Council’s Project Management Framework

Council is undertaking a review of the following PMF stages to ensure best practice:

· Project Classification

· Project Lifecycle

· Roles and responsibilities

· Project Governance

· Project Reporting

The outcome of this review is likely modifications to the Project Management Framework in Sycle and the development and delivery of training material to project related staff across Council.

Project Financial Reporting

Council will reassess what level and detail of financial information is required to enable project teams to track spend on projects. The review team will then look to see if the revised information needs can be met by existing systems or whether different tools are required.

This review will be informed by other packages of work relating to the Project Management Framework so has not commenced as yet.

Programme and Project Reporting

Sycle now has a new reporting module that enables users to develop their own reports tailored to their own and stakeholder needs. Council will be reviewing this module with the intention of developing new reports to meet Council reporting requirements.

This work is contingent on the review of the Project Management Framework so has not yet commenced.

NCC Project Management Manual

Together with the above packages of work, Council’s existing project related manuals, documentation and templates are being reviewed. This documentation will be complemented with training material that can be rolled by repeatedly to Council Officers and panel members involved in the development and delivery of Council projects.

As part of this initiative, work has commenced on the development of project scoping templates so that better direction can be provided to Activity and Asset Managers as they work up project scopes for the Programme Delivery team. These templates will be included in the Framework Review, manual and training materials.

Procurement Opportunities

Council Officers are now starting to look at next year’s capital programme of works and what that entails. These initial discussions include consideration of what if any bundling opportunities exist, both in terms of engagement with Panels of service providers and bundling of projects for procurement of physical works.

Project Management Training

Introductory training on Project Management fundamentals is currently being developed. This level of training is intended for new staff members and/or staff members new to projects that do not have a great deal of experience in developing or managing project of any size. The training is intended to cover Project Management Principles of cost management, time management, risk management and reporting.

This work is likely to commence in mid to late May however exact timing is contingent on attendee availability.

Delivery Capacity Constraints

As previously reported to the Audit and Risk committee, capacity constraints across Asset and Activity Management sectors of Council present a risk to programme delivery. This risk is playing out with the areas of the business who have sought funding through Activity/Asset Management and Long Term Plan (LTP) processes to address problems and needs not having sufficient capacity beyond delivering on their primary role requirements to develop project scopes to enable a project to be progressed.

This risk was recognised at the commencement of the current financial year and actions have been taken in an attempt to alleviate these constraints. The Three Waters Technical Panel of consultants and the Project Management Panel of consultants are intended to augment internal resource capacity to enable more effort to be directed at the scoping of projects. With respect to the Three Waters Technical Panel, the primary intent of that panel is to provide additional specialist resource to enable the necessary investigation and examination of LTP funded line items to be fully understood, scoping document written and standards to be specified that will then enable projects to be progressed as envisaged. Monthly review meetings involving the Three Waters Programme Manager and the Programme Delivery team are being implemented so as to ensure that “best fit” available resources, either internal or external, are allocated to projects to advance progress as efficiently as possible.

The Project Management Panel has augmented Council’s internal project management capacity and will enable Programme Delivery Directorate to provide early support to Asset and Activity Managers in the development of project scopes. Workshops on activities with large capital programmes in the 2022/23 years are already underway to assess how projects not completed this year will impact on next financial years programme, to identify any bundling opportunities and to determine what support Programme Delivery can provide to progress the collective programme of work. While these initiatives are work in progress they are a good indication of the level of collaboration occurring across the business to improve programme delivery.

1.3 Issues

Industry Capacity

Many projects, both Council and privately delivered are experiencing delays relating to resourcing constraints as a result of Covid-19. This has been further exacerbated by multiple inclement weather events.

1.4 Significance and Engagement

This report is for information purposes only.

1.5 Implications

Financial

The financial performance of individual projects does not form part of this report.

Social & Policy

There are two primary issues which have resulted in the completion of the Centennial Hall flooring replacement and lighting upgrade project being delayed. These include contractors staff being compromised by Covid-19 and delays in materials including the wall linings around the events centre, floor tiles, carpeting and vinyl in the front entrance. The front entrance is the priority, once this is completed, including the reinstatement and fire compliance, the events centre will be back to full operation.

It should be noted that there have been delays in the Centennial Hall floor replacement and lighting project which have resulted in cancellation of school basketball.

Risk

Significant project risks are reported to Council separately via the Audit and Risk Committee.

1 Capital Programme Report

Sustainable Napier Committee - 05 May 2022 - Open Agenda Item 8

8. Better Off Funding

Type of Report:	Contractual
Legal Reference:	Local Government Act 2002
Document ID:	1459320
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Adele Henderson, Director Corporate Services

8.1 Purpose of Report

The Minister of Local Government has announced that councils are now able to put forward proposals for the first $500 million of Crown funding from the Three Waters reform ‘Better off’ support package. The funding is for local government to invest in local community wellbeing and can be used for capital or operating initiatives. The remaining $1.5 billion is available from 1 July 2024. Council will need to determine whether it will apply for funding.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Approve Napier City Council to prepare an application for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform up to $6.46m; OR

b. Approve Napier City Council to prepare an application for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform up to $6.46m, subject to Crown agreement that Napier City Council can continue to exercise its democratic right to oppose and/or voice concerns and/or question the legitimacy of the Three Waters Reform proposal; OR

c. Do not approve Napier City Council to apply for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform of $6.46m; AND

d. Note that, subject to the decision above, the Funding Agreement and Funding Proposal will be brought back to Council for approval.

e. Note any application to the Better off support package would need to be subject to the Chief Executive confirming this will not affect council’s ability to deliver our existing water works programme, capital and operational.

8.2 Background Summary

The Minister of Local Government has announced that councils are now able to put forward proposals for the first $500 million of Crown funding from the Three Waters reform better off support package. The funding is for local government to invest in local community wellbeing and may be applied to capital or operating initiatives. The remaining $1.5 billion has been signalled to be available from 1 July 2024.

Funding allocation

The Heads of Agreement signed by Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ), allocated a package of funding with a 75% allocation based on population, a 20% allocation based on the deprivation index, and a 5% allocation based on land area. The Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) has established simple funding criteria, being:

· Supporting communities to transition to a sustainable and low-emissions economy, including by building resilience to climate change and natural hazards.

· Delivery of infrastructure and/or services that enable housing development and growth, with a focus on brownfield and infill development opportunities where those are available.

· Delivery of infrastructure and/or services that support local place-making and improvements in community well-being.

Funding Proposal and Funding Agreement

To access Napier City Council’s share of the first $500 million of the package we will be required to submit an online Funding Proposal and Funding Agreement.

The Funding Proposal will set out key information including proposed projects, milestones and expected completion date. It will also need to provide a wellbeing assessment and outline iwi/Māori engagement.

To streamline the funding application and approval process, each council will have access to a Relationship Manager if needed to support the development of the Funding Proposal. The relationship managers will be available to provide additional guidance on an as-required basis. Crown Infrastructure Partners Limited (CIP) has been appointed to this fulfil this function and will be supported by the DIA.

Guidance is available on the Department’s website and includes detailed information on how you can contact your relationship manager: Three waters reform programme reform support package - dia.govt.nz.

The online form via Community Matters online grants management system is now available. Councils can also view a pro-forma copy of the Funding Proposal on the DIA’s website.

The Funding Agreement sets out the terms and conditions of the relationship between the DIA and CIP and the recipient of the funds.

The conditions in the Funding Proposal and the Funding Agreement must be satisfied (i.e. appropriated completed and signed) by 30 September 2022.

Supporting transition

As set out in the LGNZ Heads of Agreement, Councils receiving this package will help support the transition to the new entities by meeting any reasonable request for information and assistance.

By signing the Funding Agreement in its current form would mean that Napier City Council is obliged to work collaboratively and cooperatively with the Crown to deliver the Three Waters objectives and the reform package. Any conduct that is inconsistent with this, would likely amount to a breach of the Funding Agreement. We therefore do not consider that Napier City Council would be able to sign the Funding Agreement in its current form, receive funding and maintain the right to oppose the reforms.

Following approval of a Funding Proposal and an executed Funding Agreement, an initial disbursement of 10% of your requested amount will be released (no earlier than
1 July 2022). The remainder will be disbursed on receipt of a progress payment request which you may submit on a monthly basis online.

Each council is required to submit a progress report online every six months. The DIA will provide pro-forma copies of the payment request and six-monthly progress report by 30 April 2022.

The programme of works must support one (or more) of the Better off package criteria, therefore funding proposals must be for new initiatives/projects and/or to accelerate, scale-up and/or enhance the quality of planned investment. The duration of the Programme of Expenditure must be 5 years or less (completion date on or before 30 June 2027).

Features to note for the Support Package offer:

► Funding Proposal submissions close 30 September 2022.

► Tranche 1 funding ($500 million) is available for use from 1 July 2022.

► The remaining $1.5 billion of funding may be available for use from 1 July 2024.

How does Napier City Council access the better off package?

► There are two key documents to apply for and access the funding:

▪ The Funding Proposal

▪ The Funding Agreement

► Each Council may only submit one Funding Proposal to access their council’s share of the first $500 million of the Package, but it can cover more than one project or initiative.

► Funding may cover projects for a period up to five years in duration (through to
30 June 2027).

► Each Council has a relationship manager assigned to help you complete the Funding Proposal.

8.3 Issues

Napier City Council is currently a member of Communities for Local Democracy (C4LD) which currently opposes Three Waters Reform in its current state. Further risks are noted below under Risk.

Council will need to determine what project(s) it wishes to be considered for the Tranche 1 funding, if it approves the resolution to proceed with an application.

8.4 Significance and Engagement

There is no obligation to engage with the community on receiving the Better off funding. The criteria for the Better off funding package recognises that local authorities are expected to engage with iwi/Māori in determining how it will use its funding allocation. For Tranche 1, it is expected that the Funding Proposal demonstrates genuine engagement, extending beyond standing committees.

8.5 Implications

Financial

Signing the Funding Agreement is not considered compensation for the transfer of Three Water assets. The funding is a grant for specified projects as part of Tranche 1 funding.

The Better off funding is proposed to be received in two tranches, however there is uncertainty about the delivery of Tranche 2 funding. Based on the notional funding allocations, Napier City Council will be able to apply for the following:

Tranche 1 - $6.46m

Tranche 2 - $19.37m

TOTAL - $25.82m

The Funding Agreement expressly states in the background, that the remaining allocation of funding (Tranche 2) is to be funded by the new water services entity (clause 2). There is no express or implied obligation on the Crown to provide further funding in this Funding Agreement.

Local authorities do not have to apply for the full Tranche 1 amount upfront, funds not applied for in Tranche 1 will be made available in Tranche 2 (available from 2024).

Social & Policy

There are no social or policy implications to note.

Risk

A key issue is that the Funding Agreement expressly provides in exchange for the Tranche 1 funding, each Recipient will work collaboratively with the New Zealand Government in connection with the Three Waters reform programme. This is a key obligation and is expressly repeated in Schedule 2 to the agreement. Schedule 2 expressly requires collaboration and cooperation with the DIA to provide for the implementation and carrying out of the Three Waters program.

There is a wide sweeping obligation for a Recipient to agree to collaborate and cooperate as requested to achieve the reform objectives. This goes on to require compliance with a reasonable request for secondment of unspecified numbers of staff, or to otherwise facilitate the engagement of employees with the DIA to assist with the Three Waters program. This extends to enabling and facilitating potential employment with a Water Services Entity. In addition there is an obligation to respond and comply with reasonable requests from DIA for information.

It is important to note that failure to comply with these requests would constitute a breach of the agreement and trigger the obligation to enter the dispute process (clause 9), or to work through a remediation plan to address any issues of non-compliance (clause 2.14)

This set of obligations raise is that there is a broad obligation to comply with reasonable requests from DIA to both achieve the reform objectives and carry out the Three Waters reform programme. How extensive those requests turn out to be is obviously unknown, but it does also extend to facilitating staff taking potential employment with a Water Services Entity in the course of council staff trying to carry out their current duties.

As Napier City Council is currently a member of C4LD and advocates against the reform, if it chooses to sign the Funding Agreement, it is recommended that express authorisation needs to be sought from C4LD to allow such conduct.

Timelines/Resourcing/Engagement with Iwi

Council have until 30 September 2022 to work through their applications for funding, working with Iwi, and the DIA Relationship Manager. There will be staff time required to complete the application process for the funding request, as well as determining whether projects are existing or potentially new for Council consideration. In addition there will be a schedule to manage, milestones to report on, and a focus on wellbeing assessments. There is a risk that the funding request is not approved.

Council have an ambitious programme of works in its Long Term Plan. Any application to the Better off support package would need to be subject to the Chief Executive confirming this will not affect council’s ability to deliver our existing water works programme, capital and operational. This risk can be likely mitigated by using the funding to bring on extra resources to support the requests for information, program of works (subject to the funding proposal) and/or using the Better off funding to accelerate, scale-up and/or enhance the quality of planned investment.

8.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a) Approve Napier City Council to prepare an application for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform up to $6.46m; OR

b) Approve Napier City Council to prepare an application for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform up to $6.46m, subject to Crown agreement that Napier City Council can continue to exercise its democratic right to oppose and/or voice concerns and/or question the legitimacy of the Three Waters Reform proposal; OR

c) Do not approve Napier City Council to apply for the Tranche 1 ‘Better off’ support package available as part of the Three Waters Reform of $6.46m; AND

d) Note that, subject to the decision above, the Funding Agreement and Funding Proposal will be brought back to Council for approval.

e) Note any application to the Better off support package would need to be subject to the Chief Executive confirming this will not affect council’s ability to deliver our existing water works programme, capital and operational.

8.7 Development of Preferred Option

For the Sustainable Napier Committee to endorse one of the above options a-c, noting that subject to the decision the Funding Agreement and Funding Proposal would be brought back to Council for approval.

9. Road Stopping and Granting of Easement over Vested Reserve - Awatoto

Type of Report:	Legal and Operational
Legal Reference:	Reserves Act 1977 and Public Works Act 1981
Document ID:	1455014
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Bryan Faulknor, Manager Property

9.1 Purpose of Report

To obtain Council’s approval to actions required to provide appropriate land legalisation actions to accommodate a new drinking water bore field and associated equipment at Awatoto.

In particular, to seek Council consent to road stopping of part of the unformed road between Eriksen Road and Awatoto Road and separately to consent to the granting of an easement over Vested Reserve land for water supply infrastructure.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a) Consents to road stopping under Section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981 of approximately 2,187m² of legal road adjoining Section 112 Block VIII Heretaunga Survey District, and the retention of the land in fee simple for water supply purposes.

b) Authorises the Chief Executive to make an application to LINZ for the above road stopping under Section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981.

c) Approves, as administering body, under section 48(1)(e) of the Reserves Act 1977, the grant of easements for the right to drain water over part of the local purpose (arboretum) reserve described as Section 112 Block VIII Heretaunga Survey District.

d) Approves, in exercise of the Ministerial consent (under delegation from the Minister of Conservation), the granting of the above easement.

9.2 Background Summary

As part of the Low Manganese Drinking Water Projects, Council is installing a new bore field and a UV treatment plant on what is currently a legal road at Awatoto. As part of that project, infrastructure is also required to be installed in the adjacent reserve land.

As has been widely publicised Council is committed to solving Napier’s dirty water issues and as part of that plan is a need to replace bores in Napier’s network that are high in naturally occurring manganese. Manganese reacts with chlorine (which Council is legally required to have in its water) to discolour the drinking water.

The new bore field at Awatoto provides a source of low manganese water.

9.3 Issues

Road Stopping:

The infrastructure for the new bore field and UV Treatment Plant needs to be located on what is currently legal road. Whilst the land is legal road it is not a fully formed public road and is only used as secondary access by the adjoining land owners who also have access to their land from Willowbank Ave.

It is not intended to stop the entire width of the proposed length of required land and a 6.2m width will be retained as road, preserving any existing access.

The attached Scheme Plan shows, outlined in red (A), the area of road to be stopped.

To legalise this a Road Stopping process is proposed to be carried out under section 116 of the Public Works Act 1981 and with the subsequent retention of the land in fee simple for water supply purposes.

The use of the Public Works Act process with no requirement for public notification is deemed appropriate. This is due to the fact that, being an unformed road with no current public access, there is no impact on the public or adjoining landowners. As stated above a 6.2m width at its narrowest will still be available for neighbouring landowners and future proofing for possible walkways/cycleways if ever deemed necessary.

Council’s appropriate Three Waters Staff and The Team Leader Transportation along with Team Leader Parks Reserves and Sportsgrounds have agreed the Scheme Plan.

Granting of Easement over Vested Reserve:

As part of the project, water pipes are required to be laid under a small portion the adjacent Reserve land along with an open drain above ground.

The above ground drain is required to drain water from the plant located on the stopped road to the roadside drain. This is only required for discharge during bore maintenance which should be an infrequent event. The drain would be approx. 3 metres wide and 8 metres long and 500 millimetres below the existing ground level. This will be grassed and maintained as a swale.

Section 48(1) (e) of the Reserves Act 1977 authorises the administering body (Council) to grant easements over reserves for the purpose of the ‘Provision of water systems’.

The section 48 process for granting an easement over a reserve is subject to a requirement for public notice under section 48(2). However, under section 48(3) if the reserve is not likely to be materially altered or permanently damaged and the public’s rights over the reserve are not likely to be permanently affected, notice is not required.

The subject land is undeveloped and is not currently and has never has been used by the public.

There is unlikely to be any permanent damage or material alteration with the pipes being underground and the small open grassed drain/swale located towards the boundary of the reserve. There is no planting or other features that would be disturbed by the above. Any disturbance will be temporary and limited in duration to while construction is completed, and any future maintenance undertaken. Any damage with regards pipe laying will be fully remediated.

Therefore as the pipes are underground and the small open grassed drain located by the boundary, the easement facility will not have any effect on the use of the Reserve. We consider that in accordance with Section 48 (3) of the Reserves Act no public notice is deemed required.

The consent to the easement being requested of the Committee is in Council’s capacity as an administering body. However the power for the administrating body to grant easements over vested reserves is subject to the consent of the Minister of Conservation who may impose conditions as they think fit. The consent of the Minister of Conservation has been delegated to the Council under the Minster of Conservations Reserves Act 1977- Instrument of Delegation for Territorial Authorities dated 12 June 2013. The Council therefore has a delegated decision making role, in addition to its role as an administering body. These roles are separate.

In addition, Council is in this case both the grantor of the easement, as administering body, and grantee. Council’s Team Leader Parks Reserves and Sportsgrounds supports the easement.

The attached Scheme Plan shows, outlined in green (B) the area of the proposed easement.

9.4 Significance and Engagement

The road stopping is not required to be publically notified and we consider that, given the proposed easement will satisfy the conditions in section 48(3) of the Reserves Act, it is exempted from public notification. However with regards to the road stopping, to ensure the requirements of LINZ (pursuant to the Public Works Act) the adjoining owners will be consulted and consent obtained. This process is underway.

9.5 Implications

Financial

The project along with costs relating to the land legalisation actions are funded part from the Government funded Three Waters Reform Fund and part from Long Term Plan approved budgets.

Social & Policy

The land legalisation matters are essential to ensure that the status of the land can accommodate the necessary water infrastructure as part of the project to ensure clean, safe, sustainable drinking water for Napier.

Risk

There are no perceived risks.

9.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a. Agree to the Road Stopping process and granting of an Easement over Reserve land as outlined above

b. Decline to approve the Road Stopping and Easement.

9.7 Development of Preferred Option

The land legalisation actions recommended are essential to the occupation of the water bores, treatment plant, and associated pipework on the subject land. The drinking water issues that this assists in solving are a top priority for Council.

Option a. above is therefore the preferred option.

Sustainable Napier Committee - 05 May 2022 - Open Agenda Item 11

11. Initiation of process to change Reserve Purpose

Type of Report:	Legal and Operational
Legal Reference:	Reserves Act 1977
Document ID:	1455595
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Bryan Faulknor, Manager Property

11.1 Purpose of Report

To obtain Council’s approval to initiate the process to change the purpose of part of the vested local purpose reserve at 274 Guppy Road,Taradale situated between the Expressway and Tareha Park. This process is required to provide an appropriate reserve purpose to accommodate a new drinking water bore field and associated equipment.

Officer’s Recommendation

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a) Approves the initiation of the process, pursuant to Section 24A of the Reserves Act 1977, to change the purpose of part of an existing reserve as shown as area A in Scheme plan titled Guppy Road Reclassification Drawing No. TK 364-02. The reserve is situated at 274 Guppy Road with the legal description being Section 2 Survey Office Plan 457705 (held in record of title 646173.

The change of purpose is from Local Purpose (sport and recreation buildings) reserve to Local Purpose (Water Supply) Reserve.

b) Authorises the Chief Executive to publically notify the proposed change of purpose under Section 24A (2) of the Reserves Act 1977.

c) Notes that the reasons for the change of purpose is to accommodate a new drinking water bore field, treatment plant and associated equipment and pipes. This is to ensure Council’s priority for a clean, safe and sustainable drinking water supply for Napier.

11.2 Background Summary

As part of the Low Manganese Drinking Water Projects, Council is installing a new bore and eventually a UV treatment plant on Reserve land at Taradale.

The new bore at Taradale provides a source of low manganese water.

11.3 Issues

The subject reserve land is located at 274 Guppy Road,Taradale situated between the Expressway and Tareha Park.

By gazette notice in 2014 this reserve was vested in Council as a Local Purpose (sport and recreation buildings) Reserve. A water-related use is inconsistent with that purpose.

To update the use for water supply purposes that part of the reserve required for the bore field and associated equipment is required to have a change of purpose to a Local Purpose (Water Supply) Reserve.

Council can change the purpose of that part of the affected reserve through Section 24A(1) of the Reserves Act 1977.

The subject land is not currently being used for Sport and Recreation purposes and only consists of a small part of the total Reserve land.

The attached scheme plan shows, outlined in green (A) the area subject to the change of purpose.

11.4 Significance and Engagement

Section 24A requires that before the purpose of a Reserve is changed the Council must:

i. Publically notify the proposed change of purpose, providing reasons;

ii. Allow every affected person the right to object within 1 month after the date of the first publication. Objections must be made in writing to the Chief Executive; and

iii. Consider those objections as soon as possible.

To publically notify the change of purpose, the Council is required under section 119 of the Reserves Act to publish information relating to the proposed change of purpose once in a newspaper circulating in the area in which the reserve is situated. If any objections are received the Council is required to consider them and a hearing is the usual process for doing so.

Once the one month period for objections has passed or any objections received have been adequately considered, the matter will be referred back to Council for a final decision. If the Council decides to finalise the change of purpose, it does so by notice in the Gazette.

11.5 Implications

Financial

The project along with costs relating to the change of purpose are funded part from the Government funded Three Waters Reform Fund and part from Long Term Plan approved budgets.

Social & Policy

The change of purpose of part of the Reserve is essential as part of the project to ensure clean, safe, sustainable drinking water for Napier

Risk

There are no perceived risks.

11.6 Options

The options available to Council are as follows:

a. Agree to initiate the process to change the reserve purpose; or

b. Decline to approve the initiation of the process.

11.7 Development of Preferred Option

The actions required are essential to the occupation of the water bore field, treatment plant and associated equipment and pipe work. Drinking water projects are a top priority for Council.

Option a. above is therefore the preferred option.

Andrea Manley - General Manager Strategy and Innovation, Napier Port

(PowerPoint presentation Doc ID: 1447601)

Ms Manley presented to the Hawke’s Bay Joint Transport Committee recently on the Napier Port’s business strategy, how it translates into the transport network, and how it aligns with the land transport strategy for the Hawke’s Bay region.

The Port historically was a very efficient organisation within the Port gates, however it had a reputation for being inflexible with customers. The overall business strategy was refreshed with the intention of extending the efficiencies to customers and to start looking at the overall supply chain network, adding value to cargo owners.

The intention is for the Port to build a sustainable and economically viable future focused supply chain network, in partnership with the Napier community and the Port’s key stakeholders.

Half the volume of freight transported to and from the Port is empty containers. The transport of empty containers can be reduced by matching the import and export networks; this reduces the cost of freight and the value of that saving can be shared back with stakeholders. To develop this solution the Port’s landside infrastructure network would need to be developed.

Prior to the Kaikōura Earthquake, when Centre Port closed, the Port ran three trains a day to Palmerston North. Rail gradually dropped off and was replaced with road transport. The Port is focused on developing the rail network again, and has a Napier Port train running five days a week to Manawatū, and on to the rest of the North Island. There is also a daily train running between Napier and Wairoa.

The Port is nearing the completion of the new 6 Wharf. This wharf is needed to support the region’s growth. If the Port can develop a network that connects Napier with the central and lower North Island, it will attract further cargo which will boost the local economy through jobs at the Port and also in the transport industry.

The lowering of the speed limit on highway 5 between Tāupo and Napier has had an impact on the number of trucks getting through, so is another reason this transport network is important.

Napier Port is the fourth largest container port in New Zealand, and second largest by log tons. Over 80% of cargo comes from within a 100km radius of the Port. Only 34% of cargo comes from the central North Island, thus the desire to develop the network with the central and lower North Island.

The Port’s strategy recognises that they are mutually reliant on other industries within the region, such as the horticulture industry. The relationship is mutually beneficial so it is in the Port’s best interest to work with others to build a thriving region. The Business strategy is about growth, commercial growth, growth of safety outcomes, sustainability growth, technology growth and the development of skills and capabilities.

The Port have aligned themselves with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals that they can make a difference on. Part of this is the development of the Marine Cultural Health Programme, developed with local Iwi, to understand the health of the marine environment from a user and a technical perspective. Measurements will be taken over time and actions adjusted to make sure the health impacts are minimal.

Another of the Port’s Sustainability goals is to be carbon zero by 2050. They are already replacing vehicles with electric options where appropriate. For the tugs and pilot boats they are looking at alternative sustainable fuel options.

Napier Port networked infrastructure goal is to collaborate with importers and exporters on marine-side and on the land-side to provide sustainable supply chain solutions.

Councillor Taylor joined the meeting at 9:24am

Announcements by the Mayor

The Gisborne District has had significant rain and flooding in the last day and the Gisborne District Council has declared a state of emergency. Napier City Council (NCC) will be supporting them in any way it can as they help their community recover from the situation.

Napier has had a lot of rain over the last day and the Mayor encourages residents to report any concerns they may have to the Council.

Announcements by the Chairperson

Congratulations to Council Officer Debra Stewart on her appointment as the Director of Infrastructure.

Announcements by the management

The Director Infrastructure said the team worked hard through the night to ensure Napier’s infrastructure coped with the heavy rain. No significant issues have occurred, and staff will be watching the forecast today to make sure there is no negative impact on our community.

Council has resolved a few issues recently which will be helping prevent street flooding with heavy rain.

An update on the top five water projects is attached to the minutes (Doc ID:1447977) and covers:

1. Low Manganese drinking water

2. Pandora Industrial Pipeline remediation

3. Fire Flows at Bayview

4. Generator purchase

5. Stormwater outlet water quality Improvements

The team at McLean Park will be doing their best to ensure the rain does not impact on the international cricket match this weekend.

There has been a massive amount of rain in the hills around Hawke’s Bay. NCC will be working with Hawke’s Bay Regional Council to mitigate the impact of the rain coming down from the hills.

Agenda Items

1. Integrated Trade Waste and Wastewater Bylaw: Consultation Proposal

Type of Report:	Legal and Operational
Legal Reference:	Local Government Act 2002
Document ID:	1417631
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Caitlin Egan, Environmental Compliance Officer

1.1 Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to outline a proposal to promulgate a new Integrated Trade Waste and Wastewater Bylaw under ss146 (1)(a)(iii) and 146(1)(b)(iii) of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA).

At the Meeting

The Officer spoke to the report, stating that a Decision of Council is needed today to ensure the timelines are met leading up to the implementation of the new bylaw.

In response to questions from the Committee it was clarified:

· This proposed bylaw is modelled on a recently implemented bylaw in Queenstown Lakes District. They integrated all of the three waters bylaws and have administration manuals sitting underneath. Officers also contacted Hastings District Council and Gisborne District Council and adopted aspects of their bylaws which make sense. It makes things less confusing for users if Napier and Hastings have similar bylaws, and if and when the new Three Waters entities come into being it will make it easier if the different Councils in the region are doing the same things.

Committee's recommendation

Councillors Simpson / Browne

The Sustainable Napier Committee make a DECISION OF COUNCIL under delegated authority to:

a. Endorse the content of this report including Attachment 1 Statement of Proposal.

b. Agree that pursuant to s155(2)(b) and 155(3) of the LGA, the proposed bylaw is not inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA).

c. Adopt the proposal and the draft Integrated Trade Waste and Wastewater Bylaw for the purposes of public consultation Attachment 2.

d. Approve the commencement of the special consultative procedure in accordance with s83(1) of the LGA in relation to the proposal.

Carried

2. Water Supply Bylaw Statement of Proposal

Type of Report:	Legal and Operational
Legal Reference:	Local Government Act 2002
Document ID:	1441447
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Russell Bond, Manager Water Strategy Lance Groves, Water Planning Lead

2.1 Purpose of Report

The purpose of this report is to:

1) Outline a proposal to re-promulgate the Napier City Water Supply Bylaw that was revoked pursuant to s 160A of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) on 26 June 2019 (the proposal); and

2) To recommend that the Napier City Council (the Council) commence the special consultative procedure in accordance with s 83(1) of the LGA in relation to the proposal.

At the Meeting

The Officer spoke to the report and clarified that the residents in Bayview will not be charged the volumetric targeted rate moving forward as their demand is the same as all other Napier residents in the urban boundary.

Committee's recommendation

Councillors Browne / Simpson

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Make a DECISION OF COUNCIL under delegated authority to enable public consultation to occur at the same time as the Trade Waste and Wastewater Bylaw public consultation.

b. Endorse the content of this report (including Attachment 1 Statement of Proposal).

c. Endorse that pursuant to ss 155(2)(b) and 155(3) of the LGA, the proposed Bylaw is not inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA).

d. Adopt the proposal and the proposed Water Supply Bylaw for the purposes of public consultation.

e. Approve the commencement of the special consultative procedure in accordance with s 83(1) of the LGA in relation to the proposal.

3. Report on Three Waters Reform Programme

Type of Report:	Operational
Legal Reference:	N/A
Document ID:	1442095
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Rebecca Huckle, Three Waters Reform Programme Manager Russell Bond, Manager Water Strategy

3.1 Purpose of Report

To inform the Council on the progress of the Three Waters Reform Programme within Napier.

At the Meeting

The Officer took the report as read.

In response to questions from the Committee it was clarified:

· In response to the risk outlined in the report, that the programme of work may not be completed by the cut-off date for the Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) funding, which would require a refund of unspent funds, the team have a list of back up projects to use that funding on. The Crown infrastructure partnership is supportive of flexibility in the work programme.

· The parks water bores investigation and implementation project involved some pieces of work. Council staff found a leak in the race at the botanical gardens. By sealing the race they have improved the water use and efficiency, and they have looked at lining the pond. There was also some irrigation efficiencies that could be made in one of the other parks. Staff are also looking at installing backflow preventers in the parks as there is a potential for bore use in the parks so would need to protect the water supply.

Accepting funding from the DIA does not commit NCC to the government’s proposed Three Waters Reform model. Council will continue to have conversations with the government about this and advocate on behalf of the community.

Committee's recommendation

Councillor Chrystal / Mayor Wise

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Endorse the report on the Three Waters Reform Programme.

Carried

4. Decorative Paving Shop Entrance Policy

Type of Report:	Procedural
Legal Reference:	Local Government Act 2002
Document ID:	1431134
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Robin Malley, Team Leader Transportation

4.1 Purpose of Report

To seek approval to withdraw the Decorative Paving Shop Entrances Policy which is considered by Officers to be surplus to requirements.

At the Meeting

The Officer spoke to the report. The withdrawal of this policy requires Council approval.

There were no questions from the Committee.

Committee's recommendation

Carried

5. Capital Programme Delivery

Type of Report:	Information
Legal Reference:	N/A
Document ID:	1440069
Reporting Officer/s & Unit:	Jon Kingsford, Director Programme Delivery

1.1 Purpose of Report

To provide Council with information on the 2021 Long Term Plan Capital Programme and initiatives underway to improve Capital Programme Delivery.

At the Meeting

The Officer spoke to the report. In response to questions from the Committee it was clarified:

· The Centennial Hall will hopefully be reopening by the end of April, subject to availability of materials.

· A review of Council’s financial management information system in the current operating environment is being prioritised over the coming year. Council will be looking at the level of financial reporting that is required from a project perspective, and what the current gaps are, to inform what system would meet all Council’s needs. There is funding set aside in Council’s Long Term Plan for an upgrade of the current finance system or for a replacement system. NCC is talking to other Councils about what they are using, but it is also bearing in mind the potential impact of the Three Waters Reform.

· Poraiti Road Corridor Improvement project has been deferred.

a. The answer given in the meeting was so Council could work with Mission Development and to work through any land purchases required to complete the project. This answer was corrected after the meeting:

b. The project is 'on hold' is for minor sightline improvements on Poraiti Road itself. It was programmed for a previous year, but Covid interruptions (and the subsequent shovel-ready flurry of unprogrammed activity) meant we had to re-prioritise resources. Now that the speed limit has been reduced, the risks are lower and therefore project priority has reduced. There are still some improvements which would be worthwhile, but these will probably be on a more operational scale now.

Committee's recommendation

Councillors Brosnan / Simpson

The Sustainable Napier Committee:

a. Receive the report titled “Capital Programme Delivery”.
