1.1 Purpose of Report
The purpose of this report is to provide an update on funding progress for this project and seek an underwriting commitment for any construction cost overruns in excess of the budgeted funding from Hastings District and Napier City Councils and the external funding confirmed to date.
Background
The Joint Working Group (JWG) has been very successful to date in funding applications for this project and has now secured from the Regional Culture and Heritage Fund, through the Ministry for Culture and Heritage, a further $9 million. This funding is subject to a commitment from both Councils confirming there will be no further calls to the Ministry for additional funding. To date resolutions regarding this project have been mirrored by both Councils and a resolution is being sought from both Councils regarding a commitment as requested by the Ministry. The attached report, prepared by Bruce Allen for Hastings District Council, provides a fulsome summary and is provided as the primary body of this report.
Napier City Council representatives are:
Councillor Sally Crowne
Councillor Ronda Chrystal
Executive Director Thunes Cloete
MTG Director Laura Vodanovich
Strategic Programmes Manager Darran Gillies
1.3 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
a. Option One – Recommended
The Napier City Council and Hastings District Council provide a written undertaking that they will jointly underwrite the project and that no further request for funding will be made to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage
Advantages
· The JWG has been very successful to-date with the fundraising achieved with $21.194m secured from both Councils and external funders, and a further $1m set as a target for the HBMT fundraising efforts.
· While there is still a $1.1m funding gap based on current project cost estimates, there are still opportunities to reduce cost and scope through the buildability review and value engineering process once a preferred construction contractor has been selected.
· While the risk of further cost escalations cannot be eliminated at this stage of the process, the cost estimates have been refined using the detailed designs and input from external suppliers of some of the more technical fit-out and cladding systems, therefore reducing the risk that the escalation and contingency provisions will be required to the extent that they have been provided for.
· The JWG has secured external funding of $14.544m which accounts for 69% of the funding raised for this project with the $1m fundraising target set for the HBMT as the final funding piece. This level of external funding is very high and further funding is unlikely to be achieved.
Disadvantages
· It is acknowledged that both Councils have many competing priorities for the limited resource of funding available for capital projects and any additional request for funding will have an impact on that available funding.
· The Councils have already set aside $3.325m each for this project and any additional funding may be difficult to justify.
b. Option Two – Not Recommended
The Hastings District Council and Napier City Council provide a written undertaking that no further request for funding will be made to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage and that the project will only proceed if it can be delivered within the current funding limits.
Disadvantages
· This option is not the preferred option as it will not provide the right signals to the generous funders that the Councils supporting this project are fully committed to its delivery and to the high level of outcomes that this project has the ability to create.

2.1 Purpose of Report
Present the Napier-Hastings Future Development Strategy Joint Committee and the Terms of Reference to Council for review and adoption.
It is proposed that a Joint Committee of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council, the Napier City Council and the Hastings District Council be established to provide governance oversight and preliminary decision-making in respect of the Future Development Strategy (FDS) for the Napier-Hastings Urban Environment. The FDS is a requirement on the three councils under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD). Final decisions on the adoption of the draft and final FDS document will be made by each of the three councils individually.
A proposed Terms of Reference for the Joint Committee has been prepared (attached at Attachment 1). The Terms of Reference provides for representation of the councils responsible for the development of the FDS.
The NPS-UD requires that the FDS be informed by tangata whenua values and aspirations for urban development. While not a requirement, it is proposed within the Terms of Reference to provide, alongside representation from the councils, for representation from each of the post settlement governance entities (PSGE) with statutory acknowledgement within the study area for the FDS (should they each wish to appoint representatives). This is seen as one mechanism, among others, to help to incorporate the values and aspirations of tangata whenua in a manner that is consistent with a partnership relationship between the Councils and mana whenua.
On that basis, the proposed make-up of the Committee is as follows:
· 2 representatives - Hawke’s Bay Regional Council
· 2 representatives - Napier City Council
· 2 representatives - Hastings District Council
· 2 representatives - Heretaunga Tamatea Settlement Trust
· 2 representatives - Mana Ahuriri Trust –
· 2 representatives - Maungaharuru Tangitū Trust
This is not to say that engagement with tangata whenua on the FDS will be limited to the identified PSGEs. Wider and more extensive engagement with iwi and hapū is planned alongside specialist technical input. However, it is proposed that the appropriate approach to seeking governance input is to provide for appointments from the PSGEs within the study area who have a statutory acknowledgement in relation to planning matters (so long as those bodies wish to appoint a representative).
A modified approach to this would be to provide for a representative to be appointed by Ngāti Kahungunu Iwi Incorporated (NKII) alongside the PSGE representatives. This would recognise the longstanding involvement of NKII in supporting growth planning in the Napier-Hastings area (via HPUDS). However, the context for mana whenua representation in planning and consenting processes has evolved since previous HPUDS processes due to Treaty settlements and related statutory acknowledgements. Having a governance appointment made by NKII would widen the basis for governance representation beyond organisations that have statutory acknowledgements in terms of planning/consenting matters. It can be argued that relying on a statutory acknowledgement provides a clear, transparent and legally robust basis for drawing governance representation.
It is also proposed that each party appointing or nominating representatives be able to appoint one alternate representative. While alternates can detract from continuity and consistency through the governance process, permitting organisations to have one consistent alternate who can cover for absences by either primary representative is considered to provide an effective balance between ensuring representation from each organisation and providing for a high level of working knowledge on the part of participants. This is particularly the case if alternates can attend meetings as observers when their organisation’s primary representatives are present.
It is proposed that the Committee appoint a Chair and Deputy Chair from among the representatives appointed. An alternative approach would be to consider the appointment of an independent (possibly non-voting Chair) if councils wished.
Under the Local Government Act 2002, the Joint Committee is a committee of each of the partner Councils. In order to facilitate the proposed PSGE representation noted above, it is proposed that provision for PSGE appointments be made within the Terms of Reference and that each of the PSGEs within the study area be asked to identify and appoint suitable representatives to the Joint Committee.
The Terms of Reference provides that partner councils will be responsible for remunerating their respective representatives on the Joint Committee. The partner councils together shall meet the remuneration costs of the mana whenua representatives on the Joint Committee on the basis set out in the Terms of Reference.
Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 provides that a local authority may not appoint a joint committee unless it has first reached agreement with every other local authority or public body that is to appoint members of the committee. To comply with this clause, it is proposed that the Council agrees to appoint and establish the Joint Committee, and also resolves, subject to the agreement of the other Councils, to appoint the Committee and its representatives on the Joint Committee.
2.3 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
a. Appoint the Napier-Hastings Future Development Strategy Joint Committee, being a Joint Committee; and
i. approve the Terms of Reference;
ii. appoint Mayor Wise and Councillor Chrystal to the Joint Committee;
iii. appoint Cr Boag as an alternate representative;
iv. delegate authority to and invites the appointment of Mana Whenua representatives to the Napier-Hastings Future Development Strategy Joint Committee; and
v. authorise the Chief Executive to give effect to resolution 2 (a-e) above.
b. Do not appoint the Napier-Hastings Future Development Strategy Joint Committee and consequential appointments and delegations.

3.1 Purpose of Report
To obtain Council approval for two new street names for the recently approved Te Awa Land Development Company subdivision within the Te Awa Development Area.
On 27 July 2021 Council granted subdivision consent to Te Awa Land Development Company which authorised the creation of 68 residential lots with a reserve and two roads to be vested in Council. On 8 March 2022 Council granted a variation to the approved subdivision consent to decrease the number of lots from 68 to 67. The subject site comprised a total area of 4.4ha and is located within Stage 4 of the Te Awa Structure Plan Area. Figure 1 shows the overall location of the subdivision within the wider Te Awa Development Area.
Figure 1: Location Plan – Te Awa Land Development Company Subdivision
The first legal road will provide a link between Kenny Road and Eriksen Road and will have an 18 metre wide corridor, the second ‘internal’ road will join the first road together and will have a 12 metre wide corridor. Figure 2 shows the approved subdivision scheme plan, including the two proposed street names. The developer has requested that Council allocate street names for the two new roads as following:
· Wai Whatu – for the 18 metre wide road joining Kenny Road and Eriksen Road
· Wai Orotū – for the 12 metre wide road joining the above road together
Figure 2: Approved Subdivision Scheme Plan and Proposed Street Names
3.3 Issues
In April 2011, Council considered a strategy for street naming within the Te Awa Development Area and subsequently approved a list of street names for the Te Awa Structure Plan Area, an area located within the Main Residential Zone. The street naming theme for the area was based on New Zealand rivers and to date 12 streets within the Te Awa Development Area have been named after New Zealand rivers. The two remaining streets (Squire and Hunter) were named after a former Council Director of Engineering (Clive Squire) and a deceased family member of the developer of the first stage of the Te Awa Development Area.
The Ngā Manukanuka o te Iwi (Māori Committee) meeting dated 3 September 2021, clarified that in 2011, a list of street names for the Te Awa subdivision based on the theme of New Zealand rivers was adopted. Council recognises the process followed then is not the same as it would be now in regards to consultation with mana whenua, as such it sought the Committee’s feedback on which names are more appropriate. The Ngā Manukanuka o te Iwi recommended the use of Rangataiki and Whangaehu for the street names for the Greenstone subdivision within the Te Awa Development Area. The Ngā Manukanuka o te Iwi also recommended that the two alternative names, Wai Whatu and Wai Orotū, should be used in future developed areas of the Te Awa suburb.
Wai Whatu and Wai Orotū are not included on Council’s list of street names for the Te Awa Development Area approved in 2011, however Council have the authority to override this decision and select alternative street names. The two proposed names are considered appropriate given they were provided by Te Waka Rangapū and endorsed by the Council’s Kaumātua Piri Prentice, along with their direct relationship and importance to mana whenua and the wider city. The use of these street names are further supported given what was discussed at the committee meeting dated 3 September 2021, i.e. that the Committee supported these two street names and suggested that they would be suitable to be used for another area in Te Awa yet to be developed. As the development is located on the opposite side of Kenny and Eriksen Road it is now considered appropriate to move away from the New Zealand river names.
3.4 Significance and Engagement
Since the meeting dated 3 September 2021, Te Waka Rangapū have confirmed that they still consider these names appropriate for the development, and have provided their support for the use of these street names.
‘Whatu’ is the abbreviation of Whatumamoa, who is the Principle Ancestor for Ahuriri. Wai Whatu means the ‘waters of Whatumamoa’.
‘Orotū’ is the abbreviation of Te Whanganui a Orotū and is the son of Whatumamoa, the Principle Ancestor for Ahuriri. Wai Orotū means the ‘waters of Orotū’.
The formal request by the developer for street naming was made on 21 February 2022, 223/224 has been applied for and granted, and building consent applications have been submitted to Council. In light of the above the developer is very eager for a decision to be made on this street naming proposal.
3.5 Implications
Financial
The financial implications of street naming include minor administrative costs incurred by Council’s GIS team and are covered in the fee paid to Council by the developer. The cost of erecting street signs, road markings, and street lights are costs incurred solely by the developer.
Social & Policy
There are not considered to be any inherent social or policy implications in relation to the use of the two proposed street names.
Risk
It is not considered that Council would be liable to any legal risk by the use of the proposed street names.
A search of ‘Google Maps’ shows that there is no replication within Hawke’s Bay or New Zealand for the use of Wai Whatu or Wai Orotū as proposed street names. To this end the use of these two street names is not considered to pose any risk of confusion for emergency services or network providers.
3.6 Considerations
As discussed in the Committee meeting dated 3 September 2021, Wai Whatu and Wai Orotū have been recommended by the Ngā Mānukanuka o te Iwi to be used in future developed areas of the Te Awa suburb. The two proposed names are considered appropriate given they were provided by Te Waka Rangapū and endorsed by the Council’s Kaumātua Piri Prentice, along with their direct relationship and importance to mana whenua and the wider city.
Since the meeting dated 3 September 2021, Te Waka Rangapū have confirmed that they still consider these names appropriate for the development, and have provided their support for the use of these street names. Along with the developer requesting these two proposed street names.

4.1 Purpose of Report
Present amended Joint Committee Terms of Reference to Council for review and adoption.
|
|
Officer’s Recommendation That Council: a. Adopt the Terms of Reference for the Clifton to Tangoio Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee
|
The Coastal Hazards Strategy Joint Committee will begin a new term in 2023. Ahead of these meetings recommencing, the Terms of Reference needs to be adopted and the Joint Committee re-established. Governance at HBRC have made some amendments to the Terms of Reference for the Joint Committee. Most of these changes are minor with the exceptions highlighted here:
3.2 (inserted): If not appointed directly as Council members, the Mayors of Hastings District Council and Napier City Council and the Chairperson of Hawke’s Bay Regional Council are ex officio Council members.
12.1 The Chairperson of the Joint Committee will be one of the Hawke’s Bay Regional Council members as elected and appointed by Hawke’s Bay Regional Council.
12.2 At the first meeting of the Joint Committee the members shall elect up to two Deputy Chairpersons.
[This has changed from the members of the joint committee also electing the chair under 12.2, previously 12.1]
15.1 and 15.2 [paraphrased] amendments to the Terms of Reference to be recommended to partner Councils if agreed by the Joint Committee and the Partner Councils must all agree to them (previously these amendments could be made by the members of the Joint Committee on behalf of their Councils).
Please refer to the attached amended Terms of Reference for all changes (changes tracked in red).
For Council’s information, the Technical Advisory Group (TAG) will also be recommending some changes to the Terms of Reference that clarify the relationships between the Partner Councils and their decision making authority/delegation in the lead up the transfer of this work in its entirety to HBRC on 1 July 2024. As per the amended Terms of Reference those changes will need to be approved by Napier City Council as a Partner Council before they are adopted by the Joint Committee.
4.3 Issues
The main change is that HBRC will now choose the Chairperson without input from the members of the Joint Committee. Given the agreement in principle by both Territorial Authorities that the Strategy be transferred to HBRC, this is appropriate and timely. The Chairperson appointed by HBRC for this term is Jerf van Beek who was the Chairperson for the 2019-2022 term. This is the final term where the Joint Committee will sit in its current form (after the transfer the equivalent Joint Committee will be advisory only).
4.4 Significance and Engagement
The changes do not meet the requirements for community engagement as the Joint Committee is an established and continuing body and the changes are relatively minor.
4.5 Implications
Financial
The changes do not affect the financial contributions or staff time commitments.
Social & Policy
The changes are minor and so do not have wider impacts. Local iwi are separately represented on the Joint Committee.
Risk
Given the transfer of the strategy to HBRC on 1 July 2024 and the reality that HBRC already lead this work, any risks associated with the change of process for appointment of the Chairperson are negligible. The need for changes to the Terms of Reference to be signed off by all Partner Councils may slow the process slightly but also strengthens the democratic process.
4.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
a. Agree to the changes in full.
b. Agree to the changes in part and propose changes.
c. Do not agree to the changes.
4.7 Development of Preferred Option
Given the minor nature of the changes and taking a common sense approach, the preferred course of action is for Council to agree to the changes in full. This will align with NCC’s agreement in principle (and consulted on and approved as part of the Annual Plan 2022 consultation) that HBRC will take over the strategy from 1 July 2024.

5.1 Purpose of Report
To present the 2022-2025 Elected Member’s Code of Conduct for adoption.
|
|
Officer’s Recommendation That Council: a. Adopt the 2022-2025 Elected Members’ Code of Conduct
|
Under clause 15, schedule 7, of the Local Government Act 2002 a local authority must adopt a code of conduct for its members; this may be replaced or amended, but cannot be revoked without a replacement.
The amendment or adoption of a new code of conduct requires the support by vote of at least 75% of those members present at the meeting.
The elected members’ code of conduct outlines the understandings and expectations on all members as to how they will conduct themselves, and must be complied with (clause 15(4), schedule 7, Local Government Act 2002). It also outlines the procedure that will be followed where it is believed that a member may not have followed the code.
5.3 Issues
As all local authorities (councils) must have a code of conduct in place, and many of the expectations held of elected members are similar across the country, in recent years Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) have begun preparing a model template that can be used by councils for this purpose.
The latest iteration of the model code was released by LGNZ in 2022. A significant change in the template is the focus on managing specific types of behaviors, such as bullying or harassment, regardless of the place or platform on which the member is engaging, such as social media, in meetings, or interactions between members. The following have been added to the template:
· An explicit description of unacceptable behaviours.
· An acknowledgement of Te Tiriti o Waitangi as the foundational document for Aotearoa New Zealand and a description of Te Tiriti principles and how they apply to kaunihera (council).
· An acknowledgement of the principles of good governance, drawn from the United Kingdom’s Government’s Committee on Standards in Public Life.
These noted additions and other updates were incorporated into the existing Napier City Council Elected Members’ Code of Conduct, and was reviewed by the Mayor. It is now brought to Council for formal adoption. All updates to the document are highlighted in the attachment.
5.4 Significance and Engagement
The amendment or adoption of a code of conduct is directed by the Local Government Act 2002 and does not trigger Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy or any other consultation requirements.
5.5 Implications
Financial
N/A
Social & Policy
The adoption of a code of conduct for elected members is required by law. It is a public document, and contributes towards the ability of Council to meet its requirements under section 39 of the Local Government Act 2002, that the expected conduct of elected member be understood both by the members and the community.
Risk
N/A
5.6 Options
The options available to Council are as follows:
a. To adopt the amended elected members’ code of conduct as the 2022-2025 code of conduct
b. To maintain the current code of conduct for the 2022-2025 triennium
5.7 Development of Preferred Option
It is recommended that the amended elected members’ code of conduct, with the recommended LGNZ additions, be adopted for the 2022-2025; significant work is always undertaken by LGNZ in their document reviews to ensure they are refined, clear, and reflect contemporary matters of importance.

That Council: a. Approve capital carry forward budgeted expenditure of $12,229,707 from 2021/22 into 2022/23. b. Approve operational carry forward budgeted expenditure of $3,691,262 from 2021/22 into 2022/23.
|
Provision is made at the end of a financial year to carry forward project expenditure budgeted but not incurred, either fully or in part. The provision relates only to expenditure of a project nature. Requests are subject to approval by Council.
The total capital spend for the 2021/22 financial year was $44.6m against budget of $89m (including carry forwards from the previous year). Capital projects relating to the water reform made up $9.6m of the total spend (or 21.5%).

Risk
There is risk that the size of the capital plan for 2022/23, combined with the volume of carry forwards may be challenging to deliver. The government has also created many stimulus packages to create jobs on the back of the pandemic and to stimulate the economy. This may also drive further challenges in obtaining resources and external firms to complete the work within our desired timeframes.
We are bringing on additional resources where possible to drive the capital programme that will also create jobs and benefit the community.
Many of the projects that have been carried forward are in progress.
6.6 Preferred Option
a. Approve carrying forward total capital expenditure of $12,229,707 from 2021/22
b. Approve carrying forward operational expenditure of $3,691,262 from 2021/22 into 2022/23.

7.5 Implications
Financial
The year to date operating net deficit of $2.1m is $3.2m favourable to the budgeted deficit of $5.3m.
The favourable variances for Financial/Development Contributions, other revenue, labour and depreciation are partially offset by the unfavourable variance in other operating expenditure.
Year to date capital expenditure of $12m is above budget by $2.1m.
Further detail on the financial variances for the quarter ended 30 September 2022 is contained in the report attached.
Social & Policy
N/A
Risk
The 2022/23 budgets included an assumption that all three stages at Parklands development would be sold. However due to delays sourcing asphalt and street lighting supplies, and a market downturn there is a risk that not all sections will be sold this financial year. This could impact Council’s net operating position for 2022/23.
7.6 Development of Preferred Option
Receive the quarterly report for the three months ended 30 September 2022.

8.1 Purpose of Report
To present to Council the Hawke’s Bay Airport Limited Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
|
That Council: a. Receive the Hawke's Bay Airport Limited Annual Report and Auditors Report for the year ended 30 June 2022.
|
The Hawke’s Bay Airport Limited is a Council-controlled organisation. It is a company incorporated under the Companies Act and is owned by the Crown, Hastings District Council and Napier City Council. Napier City Council has a 26% shareholding.
The Company produces separate annual accounts. No payments are made by Napier City Council to the Company and there is no financial provision included in Council budgets. The Napier City Council share in the Company is included in its annual financial statements as an investment, valued using the equity method of accounting.
8.3 Issues
The comparative financial information for the 2020/21 financial year has been re-stated as a result of a fair value adjustment to investment property.
HBAL has decided to voluntarily transition to using fair value as a measurement basis for all of its investment property as at 30 June 2022. HBAL believes that this change will result in the financial statements providing reliable and more relevant information about its financial position and financial performance and is more aligned to practices adopted by industry peers.
This change in accounting policy has resulted in an adjustment of $1.3m to the net profit after tax for 2021/21. Note 1 of the financial statements sets out the detail of this adjustment and change in accounting policy.
8.4 Significance and Engagement
N/A
8.5 Implications
Financial
The Hawkes Bay Airport Ltd is reporting a net operating surplus of $801k compared to a budgeted surplus of $44k. The improved year end financial position compared to budget is due to the fair value adjustment for investment property as set out in the issues section of this report and note 1 of the financial statements.

At the meeting The Chief Financial Officer, Ms Thomson advised this is a new requirement in the Local Government Act 2002 for the appointment of a Registrar.

There are two broad categories of information required from elected members relating to an elected member’s position as a business owner, employee, trustee and information relating to elected member’s as recipients of gifts or payments. This is a more formalised process with a Register, that will be continually updated, and the appointment of a Registrar. |

5.1 Purpose of Report
The Acting Chief Executive’s Report will be brought to every second standard Council meeting (roughly every 12 weeks), for your information.
|
At the meeting The Acting Chief Executive, Mr Munneke, presented the information report taking the report as read and noting the Council team have done a really good job over the last quarter. It was noted that in regards to submissions to Central Government these were responded to on a case by case basis. Due to Council cycles and responses required quickly these would be forwarded to the Portfolio holders. Local Government will be impacted by major reforms in regard to the Resource Management Act and Water, and these high level issues will require participation from elected members for a meaningful submission process. The current process of elected member consultation on submissions is highly visibility for elected members, with them being presented through the Acting Chief Executive’s report. However, if submissions are technical and operational in nature it is not necessarily appropriate for elected members to have input, but is still important they have visibility, and a process will be formulated to enable this to happen.
