Activities

Stuart Grant has been Acting CEO since 22 July 2019 until Suzette’s return to office on 26 August 2019.

 

In June, Suzette attended the SOLGM Future Workforce Forum and Rural Provincial meeting in Wellington.  Suzette also joined Mayor Graham at the Dark Sky Forum in Tekapo and we look forward to continue working with our industry and government partners to progress tourism initiatives in our region.

 

We also hosted our various partners in the Destination Mackenzie project in the District.  Following a bus tour, a Darksky show and dinner, the Governance Group met to discuss and agree progress so far.  A further Workshop with agency staff is scheduled for 19 August where agencies will share their visions for the Mackenzie region.  With the Chair, Tony Shaw now appointed, a procurement process for appointment of a Project Manager will begin shortly.

 

Council hosted John Eatwell at a Leaders Coach session in early July, as part of our restructuring efforts.  The Executive and Senior Leadership teams (2nd and 3rd tier managers) found the team building and strategic goal setting sessions quite useful for planning their work programmes for the year ahead to align with Council’s strategic goals and KPIs.

 

The Executive Team and Suzette met with Aoraki Environmental Consultancy in our ongoing stakeholder engagement efforts with the Rūnanga.  We are hopeful of fostering a strong and positive relationship with our iwi partners, including representation on the Destination Mackenzie Governance Group.

Purpose of Report

As part of implementing recommendations in the Audit New Zealand Interim Audit Report several policies have been updated and created. These are presented to Council for approval.

 

Staff Recommendations

1.       That the report be received.

2.       That these policies be approved

 

Background

The following policies have been updated and drafted, and priorly accepted by the Executive Team.

·    Fraud Policy

·    Disclosures Protection Policy

·    Conflict of Interest Policy

o Elected Members Interest Register

o Management Staff Interests Register

·    Procurement Policy

Policy Status

These policies are in draft, submitted to Council for approval.

Considerations

Fraud Policy: The policy has been largely revised to better meet the wider requirements of a local authority to manage fraudulent activity. The policy now also addresses the Auditors requirement to clearly state that all instances of suspected or actual fraud are to be advised to the auditors.

Protected Disclosures Policy: This is a new policy, it aligns with the Fraud Policy and meets the requirements of the Protected Disclosures Act 2000 (the “Act”).

Conflict of Interest Policy: This policy has had minor revision to recognise the requirement to have an Interests Register for senior management staff (Executive Team).

Elected Members Register: This has been revised as advised by the Auditor:

·    To include the nature of interest; and

·    To identify whether the interest is pecuniary, non-pecuniary, actual, potential, or may be perceived.

Management Staff Interests Register: This is a new register to meet the Auditor advice to establish an interest register for key management personnel.

Procurement Policy: This is a new policy and has been approved by the Executive Team. This meets the requirements of the Auditor.

Conclusion

It is recommended that the Council approve these policies.

8.4         Canterbury Water Management Strategy - Fit For The Future Project

File Reference:        LF

Author:                    Suzette van Aswegen, Chief Executive Officer

Authoriser:              Suzette van Aswegen, Chief Executive Officer

Attachments:          Nil

 

Staff Recommendations

That Council note the recommendations of Canterbury Mayoral Forum resolved on 24 May 2019 on the Canterbury Water Management Strategy - Fit for Future Project, in particular to:

1.   Note that the Canterbury Mayoral Forum has approved CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030.

2.   Note that the Canterbury Mayoral Forum has asked Environment Canterbury to work with territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu, industry and community partners to develop a regional work programme, with an implementation plan and monitoring framework to deliver the goals.

3.   Note that implementation to deliver the goals will have resource implications that councils will need to consider in adopting annual plans for 2020/21 and long-term plans for 2021–31.

 

 

KEY POINTS

1.     The Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) - Fit for Future project developed 2025 and 2030 goals and advice to the Mayoral Forum on implementation.

2.     With the goals finalised, there is more work to do to engage partners in the development of a Regional Work Programme and to address key strategic matters.

3.     All councils have been asked to formally note the decisions of the Canterbury Mayoral Forum.

BACKGROUND                                    

4.     The CWMS - Fit for the Future project was started in June 2018. The purpose of the project was to:

a)   develop 2025 and 2030 goals for the ten target areas of the CWMS; and

b)   provide advice to the Mayoral Forum on what is needed to support delivery of the strategy.

5.     The CWMS Regional Committee was tasked by the Canterbury Mayoral Forum to lead the development of advice on these matters, supported by a Goals Working Group and six Task Groups representing a range of interests and perspectives. 

6.     Two rounds of engagement with Zone Committees, rūnanga, community groups, sector groups, district health boards, central government, industry and other stakeholders were completed, as well as engagement with a youth focus group.

7.     Environment Canterbury acted as project manager, providing analytical and logistical support, managing stakeholder engagement, and working with a project steering group of territorial authorities.

8.     Final advice was taken to the Canterbury Mayoral Forum on 24 May 2019. At that meeting the Mayoral Forum resolved;

That the Canterbury Mayoral Forum:

1)   note that the Chief Executives Forum endorses the Regional Committee’s recommendations on proposed CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030.

2)   approve the proposed CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030.

3)   agree that Environment Canterbury work with territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu, industry and community partners to develop a regional work programme, with an implementation plan and monitoring framework to deliver the goals, and report progress to the Mayoral Forum by February 2020.

4)   request member councils to:

·    note that the Canterbury Mayoral Forum has approved CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030

·    note that the Canterbury Mayoral Forum has asked Environment Canterbury to work with territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu, industry and community partners to develop a regional work programme, with an implementation plan and monitoring framework to deliver the goals

·    note that implementation to deliver the goals will have resource implications that councils will need to consider in adopting annual plans for 2020/21 and long-term plans for 2021–31

5)   invite Mayors Damon Odey, Sam Broughton and Winton Dalley to lead public communications about Canterbury Mayoral Forum decisions on the goals following the meeting on 24 May 2019.

Project Outcomes

9.     The CWMS - Fit for Future project has concluded with 3 major outputs:

1.   The final set of proposed CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030.

2.   The beginnings of a Regional Work Programme (RWP) has emerged from the project.

3.   A set of four Strategic Implementation Matters to be addressed alongside the Regional Work Programme including:

·     effective mechanisms for leadership and accountability

·     adequate resourcing and funding

·     regular monitoring, reporting and review of progress

·     a broad base of understanding and support for the CWMS.

10.   Each of these Project Outcomes is outlined here:

Project Outcome 1:  Draft Goals for 2025 and 2030 

11.   The final set of proposed CWMS goals for 2025 and 2030 has been agreed. An overview of the proposed direction of the goals for each of the ten CWMS target areas is set out in the following table:

 

Target area

Comment on proposed goals for 2025 and 2030

Environmental limits

Goals largely maintain the direction set in 2010 – with emphasis on review of limits and attention to how these will be achieved

Ecosystem health and biodiversity

Ambitious new goals are proposed to prompt change in this area

Natural character of braided rivers

Ambitious new goals are proposed to prompt change in this area

Kaitiakitanga

Goals represent a move away from process objectives, with a greater focus on desired outcomes

Drinking water

Goals are a mix of maintaining direction set in 2010 and a new goal relating to untreated community drinking water supplies

Recreational and amenity opportunities

Goals largely maintain the direction set in 2010, with inclusion of new goals relating to recreational water quality

Water-use efficiency

Goals largely maintain the direction set in 2010

Irrigated land area

Shift in emphasis, with more focus on reliable and efficient use of water than on irrigated land area (for which an indicative target was set for 2040)

Energy security and efficiency

Goals largely maintain the direction set in 2010

Indicators of regional and national economies

A range of more measurable goals is proposed to better reflect the links between water and economic resilience and incorporate externalities.

Project Outcome 2:  Draft Work Programme 

12.   The beginnings of a Regional Work Programme provides a high-level view of what action is needed to progress the goals, subject to further discussion with contributing organisations.

13.   The emerging Regional Work Programme includes a strong emphasis on the kaitiakitanga and ecosystem health and biodiversity target areas.

14.   Further conversations with individual organisations will be required to agree the Regional Work Programme, confirm responsible agencies, fully scope and cost each area of work, and secure the necessary resources and funding (for example, through long-term plan processes).  Consideration is also needed on how different elements of the Regional Work Programme might be prioritised, and how strategic implementation matters can be integrated. 

15.   The Regional Work Programme will continue to evolve over time and be aligned to relevant policy or legislative changes at the national level such as the Three Waters Review and changes to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management.

16.   Environment Canterbury is willing to work with territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu and key industry and community partners to develop the Regional Work Programme and an implementation plan. Further advice and a progress report be provided to the Mayoral Forum by February 2020.

Project Outcome 3:  Strategic Implementation Matters

17.   The Regional Committee considers that successful implementation of the CWMS requires attention across four Strategic Implementation Matters.  In summary these are;

1)   Leadership and accountability – The Mayoral Forum plays a key role in championing the CWMS and maintaining oversight of the strategy, supported by partners delivering on specific work programmes. Looking ahead to the next ten years, it will be important to ensure:

·    participation of a broad range of interests across Canterbury, particularly the active involvement and support of Ngāi Tahu in water management processes

·    co-ordinated action by a wide range of agencies and sectors across the CWMS target areas, including Environment Canterbury, territorial authorities and key industry and community partners – to do the right things at the right time, together

·    effective mechanisms for oversight to ensure that commitments to action are being honoured and that action is having the desired impact

·    support for the Zone Committees to shift their focus from planning and delivery through clear work programmes

·    ongoing management support for the Mayoral Forum, to provide robust information and advice and ensure that CWMS processes are well co-ordinated. 

Developing the regional work programme and developing an implementation plan in collaboration with partner organisations is an important first step. 

2)   Resourcing and Funding – ensuring that there is adequate planned and committed resourcing and funding to deliver on projects across all parties.

3)   Monitoring, reporting and review – ensuring the strategy is on track through improved reporting and an enhanced monitoring framework.

4)   Understanding and support for the CWMS – continuing to develop a broad base of understanding and support for the CWMS within the community.

Engagement and communication

18.   The project has involved two rounds of engagement with Zone Committees, rūnanga, community groups, sector groups, district health boards, central government, industry and other stakeholders during the goals development process, as well as engagement with a youth focus group.

19.   A communications approach has been prepared, as requested by the Canterbury Mayoral Forum at its meeting on 1 February 2019.  The advice sets out a communications approach, and key messages.

Next steps

20.   Release of the Mayoral Forum decisions.

21.   Each Council will be formally noting the decisions of the Canterbury Mayoral Forum – starting with this paper on 20 June 2019.

22.   Develop the Regional Work Programme via discussions with individual organisations to prioritise the work programme, confirm responsible agencies, fully scope and cost each area of work and secure the necessary resources.

23.   Environment Canterbury is willing to work with territorial authorities, Ngāi Tahu and key industry and community partners to develop the Regional Work Programme and an implementation plan. Further advice and a progress report be provided to the Mayoral Forum by February 2020.

Conclusion

That Council note the Mayoral Forum’s resolution on the Canterbury Water Management Strategy - Fit for Future Project.

Staff Recommendations

Background

Each year Council commission satisfaction surveys of our residents and ratepayers regarding Council services and performance, and building and resource consent applicants.

 

Resident and Ratepayer Satisfaction Survey

Between 22 June and 10 July 2019, the Resident and Ratepayer Satisfaction Survey was undertaken by Research First. The survey involved 277 phone interviews with residents across the district in line with population demographics of the 2013 Census in Twizel, Tekapo, Fairlie and rural Mackenzie. Non-resident ratepayers for whom Council holds phone numbers were also included within the survey. The survey was randomised to ensure sampling was representative based on age, location, and gender as per the 2013 Census.

Building Consent and Resource Consent Applicant Survey

Applicants of building and/or resource consents lodged during the 2018/19 financial year, for whom email addresses were held, were invited to complete an online survey regarding their experiences with the consents process, to identify areas of improvement and monitor satisfaction levels against targets set in the Long Term Plan 2018-2028.

Invitations were sent to 330 applicants with the survey open from 1 July to 15 July, returning 79 responses (24% response rate).
