4.2       Comments and remedial actions from managers for LOS exceptions are available in Attachment A. In summary LOS exceptions relate to:

4.3       Transport activity has several exceptions related to road and footpath condition, resurfacing, including resident satisfaction, and transport mode-share.

4.4       Water Supply activity is impacted by time to attend and resolve urgent callouts and water supply usage and leakage rates.

4.5       Impacts are also noticeable in some regulatory services, such as increases in consent volumes leading to delays in consent processing, food control plan verification, response to inappropriate noise levels, as well as provision of the greenhouse gas emission report for Council’s activities, and response rates for LGOIMA requests.

4.6       Parks, Citizen & Customer Services exceptions mostly relate to resident satisfaction survey results.

4.7       The scatter diagram below is an overview of the performance of the top-ten activities.

·   The horizontal x-axis shows budget over/underspend.

 

5.   Capital projects - delivery and planning

ELT Goal: Deliver 85% Key capital projects to ‘delivery complete’ milestones

ELT Goal: Deliver 85% non-Key capital projects to ‘delivery complete’ milestones

 

5.1       Key project delivery is forecast at 100% delivery against the target of 85%.  All identified key projects are forecast to meet milestone baseline target date at year-end.

5.2       Non-Key project milestone delivery is forecast at 77.0% delivery against the target of 85%.

5.3       For further information and underlying project detail, refer to the Capital Programme Performance Report for May 2023.

 

5.4       Below is a forward view of capital delivery performance (financial), an overview of capital delivery in recent years against plan, plus capital delivery planned for the first three years of the LTP 2021-31 (2021/22 to 2023/24).

5.5       Figures are updated for 2022/23, to align with the Capital Programme Performance report.

5.6       There has been stability of financial delivery year-on-year for projects CCC is responsible for delivering (green line – total spend), ranging consistently in a band between $371m to $409m spend per annum over the previous four years.

5.7       The ELT performance goal for capital delivery is based on all delivery CCC is accountable for, regardless of funding source.

5.8      

For this year (year 2 of the LTP 2021) the total programme budget set for CCC to deliver is $470m (blue line). The May 2023 Financial Report forecast for capital financial expenditure is $405m, which equates to 86% delivery, moving from 83% forecast in previous months. As noted above, this forecast includes both core and externally funded works, but excludes Parakiore and Te Kaha, in line with the ELT performance goal.

5.9       In adopting the Draft Annual Plan 2023/24, $137m of capital has been rephased which has changed the future year CCC delivery programme for 2023/24 from $753m (as at Annual Plan 2022/23) to $616m (black line).

5.10    In reflection of this the Council delivery budget the 2023/24 value has moved from $599m (as at Annual Plan 2022/23) to $465m (blue line, includes core and externally funded work, excluding Te Kaha and remainder of Parakiore build funding.)

5.11    For more detail refer to the Financial Performance and Capital Programme Performance reports.

 

ELT Goal: Ensure capital planning for FY24 funding programme budgets allocated,
90% by 1 March 2023.

ELT Goal: Ensure capital planning for FY25 & FY26 funding programme budgets drawn down, 90% by 1 May 2023.

5.12    Capital planning targets are intended to monitor the draw-down and allocation of future capital funding programme budgets, in this case years 3, and 4 & 5 of 2021-31 LTP. This helps the business plan and prepare for future capital project delivery, in order to effectively implement the LTP.

5.13    90% of FY2024 funding programme budgets have been allocated (projects initiated) by 1st March 2023, meeting target for this corporate priority.

5.14    90.0% of FY2025/FY2026 funding programme budgets have been drawn down (by 1st May 2023), meeting target for this corporate priority.

6.   Finance

6.1       The organisation is forecasting an operational surplus of $1.5m (after carry-forwards of $10.7m). For more information refer to the Financial Performance Report.

6.2       Capital expenditure variance at year-end forecast is at -14.0%. More detail is available in the Capital Programme Performance Report.

8.     Financial Performance Report - May 2023

Reference / Te Tohutoro:

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Russell Holden – Head of Finance
(Russell.Holden@ccc.govt.nz)

General Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Leah Scales, General Manager Resources/Chief Financial Officer (Leah.Scales@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Nature of Information Update and Report Origin

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Finance and Performance Committee to be updated on financial performance to May 2023, including the current year forecast, and receive current treasury information. An update on Rates debt and Insurance claims is provided each quarter.

1.2       This is a regular monthly report that goes to the Committee.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receive the information in the Financial Performance Report for May 2023.

3.   Brief Summary

3.1       The financial result for May shows a year to date operational surplus of $13.9 million. The current forecast surplus of $1.5 million (after signalled budget carry forwards) is a deterioration of $0.2 million from the $1.7 million surplus forecast reported last month.

3.2       The total capital programme forecast under spend has decreased from $27.4 million to  a current $1.6 million. This comprises an under spend of $65.2 million on the core/external funded programme and the Parakiore project, partly offset by an earlier spend of $67.2 million on Te Kaha.

3.3       All treasury risk positions are within policy limits.

 

4.   Operating Forecast

4.1       The current forecast surplus of $1.5 million (after signalled carry forwards of $10.7 million) is a $0.2 million deterioration from the April forecast. This deterioration is mainly due to a deterioration in Three Waters ($1.7m), partly offset by a favourable movement in Consenting ($0.9m) and smaller improvements in the areas of Transport, Recreation and Sports and Regulatory Compliance.

4.2       The forecast is updated monthly and continually changes as new information and events come to light. With an operational budget of $677.6 million, $1.5 million amounts to only 0.22%. The risk remains that any adverse events could negatively impact the overall position of the Council. To mitigate these, regular forecasting and reporting at all levels in the organisation occurs to ensure issues are identified, monitored, and addressed by management on an ongoing basis. Material risks are reported to and monitored by the executive team, with a view to managing the financial outcome of the organisation to within that approved by the Council.

4.3       Capitalisation of staff time remains a key issue, driven by sickness, leave, staff turnover, and recruitment difficulty. It continues to be actively managed within the Units impacted to minimise financial impact.

4.4       Significant expenditure carry forwards signalled to date include:

-   Edgeware Pool grant ($3m – funded via borrowing) - sufficient funds need to be realised to demonstrate the capability to build and operate the pool prior to Council releasing its contribution

-   Three Water Reform ($2.2m) – Crown funded work will continue into FY24

-   Proposed Plan Change 14 (Housing and Business Choice) ($1.2m)

-   Port Hills Red Zone redevelopment costs ($1m) – work associated with the reconfiguration of land

-   Vertical Capital Delivery – EQ Repair/Rebuild programme opex costs ($0.9m)

5.   Operational Expenditure and Revenue

5.1       This covers day to day spend on staffing, operations and maintenance, and revenues to fund it.

5.2       Operational revenue exceeds expenditure as it includes rates revenue for capital renewals and debt repayment. This revenue is referred to below as ‘Funds not available for Opex’ and removed to show the operational year to date and forecast cash surplus or deficit.

Capital Expenditure

6.2       Gross capital expenditure of $471 million has been incurred year to date. A further $101.3 million is forecast to be spent in June.

6.3       The $572.3 million forecast spend is based on a Core/External Funded spend of $404.9 million, $145.7 million on Te Kaha, and $21.7 million on Parakiore.

6.4       Project managers have identified $51.4 million to be carried forward on specific projects in the Core/External Funded Programme. The forecast includes an additional $13.5 million of expected carry forwards yet to be specifically identified.

6.5       There is currently a forecast spend of $145.7 million for Te Kaha this financial year, compared to a budget of $78.5 million. The earlier forecast cost of $67.2 million will be covered by a bring forward from the 2023/24 budget of both expenditure and matching Crown funding. As a result the Council funded share of the project will commence earlier than planned.

6.6       For further information on capital expenditure, please refer to the Capital Programme Performance Report.

Capital Revenues and Funding

6.7       Capital revenues and funding are a net $43.6 million higher year to date, and forecast to be $78 million higher than budget before carry forwards comprising:

6.7.1   Earlier receipts of Te Kaha Crown revenues ($38.7 million YTD / $67.2 million forecast), and higher development contributions ($28.9 million YTD / $26.5 million forecast). These are partially offset by slower timing of Shovel Ready revenues ($0.9 million YTD / $2.1 million forecast).

6.7.2   Lower Reserve drawdowns of $18.1 million year to date, forecast to be $14.6 million lower - mainly due to some development contributions unable to be drawn at present and set aside to fund future works  ($18.4 million YTD / $14.7 million forecast); partially offset by higher Housing Fund drawdowns of $2.2 million year to date ($1.8 million forecast carry forward) due to earlier capital spend.

7.5       Council’s interest rate risk is managed to reduce the volatility of interest costs from year to year. Most existing Council debt has been fixed for at least the next three years, which will limit the impact of current higher interest rates on Council’s future borrowing costs.

1.   Nature of Information Update and Report Origin

1.1       The purpose of this report is to present to the Council meeting the monthly Capital Programme Performance Report May 2023.

1.2       This report provides Elected Members with oversight on the performance of the Capital Programme.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receive the information in the Capital Programme Performance Report to the end of May 2023.

 

3.   Brief Summary

3.1       The consolidated FY23 forecast for the CCC Capital component of the programme (excl. Te Kaha and Parakiore) as reported by Project Managers is $405m. This is a slight decrease on last month’s reporting ($409m). 

3.2       The PMO forecast for the CCC Capital component has been adjusted after a strong May result ($44m or 101% of forecast budget) combined with a strong final month forecast and has increased slightly from $390m to $405m for year end (86% of  budget). The softer April result ($30m or 75% of forecast budget) did not provide sufficient confidence to make earlier adjustments for the last reporting period.

3.3       The major facilities, Te Kaha and Parakiore, are progressing and are reported in more detail elsewhere.  Significant expenditure is forecast for Te Kaha through June as the superstructure emerges and off site materials are procured.  A significant bring back is utilised in FY23 for Te Kaha, and the project remains on track to budget for all years.

3.4       Both Matatiki (Hornby Service Centre) and The Court Theatre (Performing Arts) are progressing well with construction underway on both projects, however some significant carry forward for the Court Theatre is expected to get alignment between Budgets and construction schedules.

3.5       The Three Waters forecast is slightly down again this month, from $157.3m to $155.2m (84% of budget at end of May).  Consent challenges continue to slow some stormwater and flood protection projects.

3.6       Transport PMs are reporting delivery at 81% of budget ($112.7m, a small reduction of $3m compared to the May forecast).  CRAF and CERF watchlists and status summaries are provided in attachments, and it is proposed these will be presented quarterly.  KiwiRail challenges continue to impact on project progress in some areas and present risks to increasing costs as a result of delays (refer below for risks relating to Cyclone Gabrielle).

3.7       Parks, Digital and the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor (OARC) programme are all reporting good progress against FY23 Budgets and some bring backs support the stronger delivery targets.  However, the OARC programme is undertaking a cost review and has identified a budget shortfall for the programme which will be addressed in the Long Term Plan and reported on further once completed.

3.8       Resource constraints remain with tight competition in the employment market and infrastructure owners are often competing for the same resources.  This continues to be a risk for deliverability, despite early signals of net migration in recent months reaching positive territory for the first time since the pandemic.  The flow on effect to the engineering and infrastructure sectors is not yet clear.

3.9       Global supply chains are reported as improving but domestically they remain challenging, partly from recent weather events (ref, EBOSS Q1 2023 Construction Supply Chain Update – this report focuses largely on residential and commercial markets but has similarities in horizontal infrastructure). 

3.10    Continued geopolitical instability remains a key risk and continues to have an impact on cost estimates through inflationary pressures across all areas of capital delivery.

3.11    The risk relating to repair programmes in response to damage created by Cyclone Gabrielle in February 2023 has, to date, had minimal impact on market capacity in Christchurch.  KiwiRail infrastructure has been seriously damaged by the cyclone, and impact on our Transport programme is evident. Further cyclone effects may still increase the severity of existing financial and resourcing risks in the capital programme.

3.12    While it is difficult to make accurate predictions as to the time period within which these broader issues outside of Council control will resolve, internal planning and risk mitigation is based on the assumption that a return to normal is not expected in the short term.  Recent economic forecasts and historical indicators continue to support cost pressures, which have been evident in some areas.  There are some forecasts (incl NZIER Consensus Forecast dated 12 June 2023) suggesting easing, but this is not expected to be rapid.

3.13    The attached Capital Delivery Report – May 2023 details the above and provides further commentary across the Capital Programme, together with the Capex Watchlist Report.

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Councillor Melanie Coker, Hearings Panel Chairperson

General Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is to present to the Council the Hearings Panel recommendations following the consultation and hearings process on the Te Kaha Surrounding Streets.

1.2       The Hearings Panel has no decision-making powers but, in accordance with its delegation, has considered the written and oral submissions received on the proposal and is now making recommendations to the Council.  The Council can then accept or reject those recommendations as it sees fit bearing in mind that the Local Government Act 2002 s.82(1)(e) requires that “the views presented to the local authority should be received by the local authority with an open mind and should be given by the local authority, in making a decision, due consideration.”

1.3       The Council, as the final decision-maker, should put itself in as good a position as the Hearings Panel having heard all the parties.  It can do so by considering this report which includes a summary of the written and verbal submissions that were presented at the hearings, any additional information received and the Hearings Panel’s considerations and deliberations.  A link to the written submissions is also available should you want to review them. https://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2023/03/BLHP_20230303_AGN_9397_AT.PDF

1.4       The Hearings Panel is recommending that the Council approve the revised scheme design of the Te Kaha Surrounding Streets as detailed in Attachment A. The Hearings Panel has also provided further recommendations and noting provisions to address and acknowledge some of the issues expressed by submitters. There are also a number of individual specific issues raised by submitters, which Council Officers will be actively investigating through the detailed design process.

2.   Hearings Panel Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu o Te Tira Taute

That the Council:

1.         Approves the revised scheme design of the Te Kaha Surrounding Streets as detailed in Attachment A, and including amendments listed below:

3.  Background / Context Te Horopaki

3.1         Te Kaha Surrounding Streets project was initiated by the Transport Unit in August 2021.  It was a Phase 2 network transformation project to support the delivery of An Accessible City (AAC) Road User Hierarchy for a key walking street within the core of the central city. The plan to upgrade the streets surrounding Te Kaha so that they are prepared for the increase activity this area is likely to experience.

3.2       The planned upgrades to the streets surrounding Te Kaha are designed to reduce the need for expensive area-wide Event Traffic Management Plans (EMTPs) at each event. EMTPs will still be required for larger events, such as an international tests or a headline music acts, but the proposed changes will significantly reduce the need to close certain streets and restrict access around the city.

3.3       The construction of Te Kaha and planned Three Waters (sewerage, stormwater, and water supply) work in this area will provide an opportunity to upgrade streets efficiently, with as little disruption as possible to create a sense of place and regeneration in the south-east city, where key street upgrades have awaited certainty over Te Kaha’s construction and delivery.

3.4       These proposed changes are estimated to cost $30 million. This includes improving pedestrian and cycle safety on Fitzgerald and Moorhouse Avenues, improving the connectivity of the intersection of the Manchester-Lichfield-High Streets, and making the necessary changes to Three Waters infrastructure.

3.5          In August 2022 staff sought the Council’s agreement around the timeframes for public consultation during a briefing workshop. As agreed, following some early engagement with key stakeholders, consultation commenced on 10 October 2022 for a 4-week period.  The consultation period was extended following the election to provide more time for the new Elected Members to receive a briefing on the project.

3.6          The Project Management Plan states the project will support the slow core of pedestrian central city streets and deliver a key pedestrian connection to Anchor project Te Kaha Canterbury Multi-use Arena, the tram extension between High Street and Poplar Street and streetscape works consistent with the Christchurch Central Streets and Spaces Design Guide.

3.7          Throughout the process the surrounding streets to Te Kaha were discussed as described below:

Lichfield Street West (Manchester to Madras)

3.7.1   It is anticipated that Lichfield Street, with the bus interchange and three car-parking buildings, will be one of the two primary pedestrian gateways to Te Kaha from the west. During larger events, pedestrians approaching Te Kaha from the west will converge on Lichfield Street between Manchester and Madras streets.

3.7.2   The objective for Lichfield Street between Manchester Street and Madras Street is to create a safe and enjoyable experience for pedestrians moving between the city centre and Te Kaha. This will mean the street:

a.    copes with higher volumes of pedestrians attending regular Te Kaha events without the need for expensive and potentially disruptive event traffic management plans.

b.    makes the most of new opportunities presented for nearby businesses.

c.    ties in the new High Street tram line extension.

d.    improves pedestrian safety.

e.    makes the street an attractive place for people to be.

3.7.3   The proposed option is to redesign the road corridor to create a 10km/h shared-use zone with passive rain gardens, increased space for outdoor dining, and scooter and bike parking. This section of Lichfield Street would become one-way east-bound, although a slip road from Madras Street to Nurseryman Lane will maintain two-way access to the car-parking building. There will also be loading zones to support local businesses, but many existing car-parking spaces will be removed. This option meets the project objectives of creating a desirable pedestrian gateway to the arena and the east of the city, while reducing the need for frequent and costly event traffic management, the costs for which would be borne by Venues Otautahi but passed onto the public through increased ticket prices. It is envisaged that this new layout would also achieve more day-to-day use of the street through improved pedestrian access and outdoor dining opportunities.

Madras Street (St Asaph to Latimer Square)

3.7.4   People approaching Te Kaha from Madras Street, through the Te Kaharoa precinct, will be received at the intersections of Lichfield and Cashel streets. Madras Street, between St Asaph Street and Latimer Square has been designed to ensure large numbers of people can safely and easily access the arena during major events.

3.7.5   High numbers of pedestrians are expected to congregate on Madras Street on event days. To accommodate these crowds and improve safety and security at the arena, it is proposed that the footpath is widened to 5.3 metres and remove the 28 car parks on the eastern side of the street. Most car parks on the west side of Madras Street will be retained, as well as loading bays for neighbouring businesses. Some mobility spaces near the earthquake memorial garden will be added.

3.7.6   The modification of the signalised crossings at the intersections of Tuam, Lichfield and Cashel streets are proposed, as well as reducing the Madras Street speed limit to 30km/h, to improve vehicle and pedestrian safety. Madras Street will be made more attractive with additional trees and landscaping, to blend in with the plans for Te Kaharoa precinct, without compromising its designation as an over-dimension (heavy traffic with oversized loads) route.

Madras Street (Moorhouse to St Asaph)

3.7.7   Madras Street is a main thoroughfare into the central city from the south-east. The southern section, between Moorhouse Avenue and St Asaph Street, also provides access to the Ara campus and nearby retail and hospitality businesses.

3.7.8   Madras Street will be maintained as a key traffic route, however, to address long-standing safety concerns for Ara students crossing this busy road, improvements are proposed to make it safer and easier for people to access businesses on the other side of the road. A new, shared mid-block pedestrian and cycle signalised crossing between Countdown and the Ara campus is also proposed as well as a reduction in the speed limit to 30km/h from Moorhouse Avenue.

3.7.9   Both bus-stops on this section are proposed to have improved shelters and footpath areas. A missing connection for cyclists from the start of the Heathcote Expressway Major Cycle Route on St Asaph Street has been identified, this connection is proposed to link along the east side of Madras Street to the Ara campus creating a new, wider shared path on the eastern side of this section of Madras Street.

3.7.10 Parking on the central city side is proposed to be unchanged but the parking on the Ara side is proposed to change to P120 to encourage a better turnover of spaces, so that more Ara students who need to briefly attend campus are able to do so.

Tuam Street (Madras to Fitzgerald)

3.7.11 Tuam Street runs along the southern edge of Te Kaharoa precinct. It’s anticipated that high numbers of pedestrians will use the area before and after events at Te Kaha. To prepare Tuam Street for large fluctuations in pedestrian numbers, and improve the safety of people visiting the arena, it is proposed to widen the northern side footpath, immediately adjacent to Te Kaha, to 5.8 metres. To do this, will require removal of 15 car-parking spaces on the northern side of this section of Tuam Street and add five parking spaces on the southern side. It is proposed to keep the north side public bus stop and parking on the south side of the street.

3.7.12 For the section of Tuam Street between Barbadoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue it is proposed that this section of Tuam Street is reverted back to a one-way street, to complete the full conversion of Tuam Street to one-way eastbound within the central city. This creates a more intuitive road network across the southern central city. It also allows for extra coach parking and bus-layover for events at Te Kaha, as well as more on-street parking on the south side of Tuam Street. It would be delivered in combination with the conversion of Lichfield Street between Barbadoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue to two-way traffic, as described below. It is also proposed that improvements are made to the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Tuam Street and Fitzgerald Avenue. This will cater for the larger number of pedestrians expected to cross Fitzgerald Avenue from the inner eastern suburbs before and after Te Kaha events.

Lichfield Street East (Barbadoes to Fitzgerald)

3.7.13 It needs to be as easy as possible for people to enjoy events at Te Kaha, and the eastern section of Lichfield Street between Barbadoes Street and Fitzgerald Avenue will be crucial to achieving this. It is proposed that this section of Lichfield Street is converted to a two-way street and reduce the speed limit to 30km/h. A raised platform located half-way along the street is proposed to discourage inappropriate speeds.

3.7.14 During event days (primarily evenings and weekends) this section of Lichfield Street is anticipated to be the main area for taxis and rideshare services to pick up and drop off passengers. At all other times the parking is proposed to remain as currently posted. It is also proposed that improvements are made to the pedestrian crossing at the intersection of Lichfield Street and Fitzgerald Avenue. This will cater for the large number of pedestrians expected to be crossing at Fitzgerald Avenue from the inner eastern suburbs before and after Te Kaha events.

Barbadoes Street (Hereford to Tuam)

3.7.15 Te Kaha will have a main entrance on Barbadoes Street, it is expected large numbers of people will congregate on this eastern side of the arena before and after events. Barbadoes Street is a high-volume road, consideration has been made around how it can be made safer for everyone, while keeping traffic flowing. It is proposed that most of the footpath adjacent to Te Kaha is widened to six metres. To accommodate a wider footpath and increase the venue safety and security, it is proposed that the 29 on-road car parks on the western side of this section of Barbadoes Street be removed.

3.7.16 The proposed coach, taxi and rideshare drop-off / pickup zones will be located east of Barbadoes Street: as a result, it is expected that more pedestrians will cross from the eastern suburbs. It is proposed that the signalised crossings at the intersections with Tuam, Lichfield and Cashel streets are upgraded. These upgrades will ensure pedestrians have full protection from turning traffic and reduce improved crossing distances. Car parking on the eastern side of the street will be retained but modified to better service the neighbouring businesses and destinations.

3.8       Two options for the section of Lichfield Street between Manchester and Madras Streets had been initially developed by staff. Under the Hearings Panel’s direction, staff further explored a ‘hybrid’ design (Option 3) which sought to maintain the concepts of Option 1 and Option 2 both of which public were consulted on. Option 3 reflects the feedback provided from both Options 1 and 2. A summary of the options are provided in section 4.5 of this report.

4.   Consultation Process and Submissions Te Tukanga Kōrerorero / Ngā Tāpaetanga

Consultation Process

4.1       The option development process was undertaken in consideration of Waka Kotahi’s Intervention Hierarchy, An Accessible City (the Transport Chapter of the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan) and the Central Christchurch Streets and Spaces Design Guide (CCSSDG). The optioneering looked at options which consider lower cost/scale interventions as well as the consideration of higher cost/new infrastructure. All options were considered against the brief and scope of the project alongside the appropriate road or streetscape improvements set out in the Central Christchurch Streets and Spaces Design Guide (CCSSDG). The Central Christchurch Streets and Spaces Design Guide (CCSDG) was developed alongside the An Accessible City in 2015 to ensure that the central city was developed in a consistent way.  The guide identified typical cross sections for a number of streets in the central city.

4.2       A joint briefing between Transport and Three Waters (Water Reform) staff, Te Kaha project team, and Venues Ōtautahi to Council was held on 26 July, 9 August, and 8 November 2022 detailing:

4.2.1   Project objectives.

4.2.2   Proposed interventions.

4.2.3   Integration of the project with other projects.

4.2.4   Previous Council resolutions the project incorporates.

4.2.5   Lessons learnt from elsewhere.

4.2.6   Integration of Te Kaha into the Central City.

4.2.7   Travel options and developing a great travel experience.

4.3       These briefings were undertaken to ensure that Council understood the risks, implications, and timeframes around the package of projects ahead of proceeding to public consultation.

4.4       This resulted in relatively few options being freshly developed from those considered at the time of the development of An Accessible City. The following are options which were considered for each street but discounted from progressing:

Street

Discounted

Lichfield Street (East)

-

No other option

 

4.5       Council Officers’ summary of the options:

4.5.1   Option 1 (the preferred option at consultation) - a full street upgrade that maintains local access for traffic but reallocates more space for mixed uses such as pedestrians, cycling and outdoor dining. This option would redesign the road corridor to create a 10km/h shared zone with wider footpaths, passive rain gardens, more space for outdoor dining and scooter and bike parking. This section of Lichfield Street would become one-way east-bound, although a slip road from Madras Street to Nurseryman Lane will maintain access to the car-parking building. There will also be loading zones to support local businesses, but many existing car-parking spaces would be removed. This option meets the objective of creating a desirable pedestrian gateway to the arena and the east of the city, while reducing the need to frequently organise and pay for costly event traffic management.

4.5.2   Option 2 - this design concept was viable but not preferred. The minimal redesign option provides some opportunities for outdoor dining and an improved street look and feel to the south side. It would also retain on street parking on the northern side. The status quo of two-way traffic and a 30km/h speed limit would remain. While this is a slightly lower-priced option to build, it’s likely that costly event traffic management plans would be needed, and street closures would need to be provided more frequently for events at Te Kaha. This means long-term operational costs to keep this current road layout will be higher over the lifetime of Te Kaha, and more disruptive to the area each time an event takes place. This option would not be able to make the improvements without compromising on the efficiency of the surrounding road network.

4.5.3   The Hearings Panel requested for an alternative option - Option 3 be further developed. This would be a “hybrid” design for Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras). This was sought to maintain the concept of a slow speed / shared space environment but with retained two-way vehicle access throughout. This would seek to provide limited on street servicing / loading and mobility spaces along with some improvements to existing footpath and landscaping amenity. There would be additional costs associated with this option that would need to be budgeted for at approximately $1.2 Million.

4.5.4   Council Officers provided the Hearings Panel the pros and cons of option 1, 2 and 3 as detailed below:

 

 

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

4.6       Early engagement started in April 2022 with over 20 key stakeholders including local body corporates, businesses, and developers. This included face-to-face meetings, emails, and phone calls. These meetings influenced the development of the plan that was released for public consultation, and the final recommended design presented in this report.

4.7       The feedback received provided information around future development proposed for the area. This information was factored into the traffic modelling to ensure the options considered potential new traffic generators and possible conflicts. Of note was the development of a very large residential development proposed opposite 180 Lichfield Street on the north side of the street, safety and access concerns from Bedford Row residents, and businesses concerned with delivery of goods and takeaway meal collections.

4.8       A key output of these early stakeholder meetings was the introduction of Option 2 for Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras) at the request of the Central City Businesses Association. They were concerned that the proposed option removed all on street parking and impacted on the ability for people to easily drive to destinations along Lichfield Street.

4.9       An email was sent to 186 key stakeholders including local businesses, emergency services, and other interest groups. A Newsline story was published and shared to Council social media. This story was picked up by various news outlets. Newsline stories were written on 27 October 2022 and 10 November 2022 explaining the ‘pause’ in consultation. A final social media post was made on 29 November 2022, inviting submissions on the Have Your Say page.

4.10    Where appropriate, all absentee owners, businesses and residential properties in the project area were provided with a consultation document. To businesses, this included a letter with Council officer’s contact information and invitations to discuss the plans further. This offer was taken up on several occasions. Documents were also available in libraries and service centres.

4.11    Formal consultation for the Te Kaha Surrounding Streets started on 10 October and ran until 30 November 2022.

4.12    Feedback was requested for the plan for each street. For Lichfield Street (East) feedback was sought on both the proposed Option 1 and Option 2.

4.13    While timeframes for street upgrades weren’t included in the scope of this consultation, this was a common theme across submissions.

4.14    Submissions were received from key strategic partners on this project - Christchurch NZ, Te Kaha Project Delivery Team Limited and Venues Ōtautahi. These partners have been identified as those who work closely with the project team on an ongoing basis and would influence the project outside what a standard stakeholder would.

4.15    Further submissions were made by 15 recognised organisations and 56 businesses. Of the businesses, 43 are located within the central city and 13 from broader Christchurch. A submission was also made by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

4.16    21 submitters asked Council to wait until Te Kaha is built, or close to being built, to help determine what work is required on the surrounding streets. 70 submitters requested Council to do the work now for reasons including:

4.16.1 Preparing streets for visitors when Te Kaha opens.

4.16.2 Causing less disruption for businesses and commuters.

4.16.3 The rising cost of construction.

4.17    604 submitters clicked an option for Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras) only, while 610 provided some comment.

4.18    At the close of the consultation, there were 1,214 groups and individuals’ formal submissions on the Te Kaha surrounding streets. Of the 1,139 submissions made from individuals: 

4.18.1 114 live in the central city.

4.18.2 967 live in broader Christchurch.

4.18.3 58 live elsewhere in New Zealand.

4.19    Of the 1,214 Submissions received for Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras):

4.19.1 927 (76%) selected Option 1 – a full street upgrade that maintains local access   for traffic but reallocates more space for mixed uses as their preferred option.

4.19.2   253 (21%) selected Option 2 – a minimal redesign maintaining two-way    vehicular access and sometime-restricted parking as their preferred option.

4.19.3   34 (3%) did not select a preferred option.

 

4.20    Of strategic partners on this project, Venues Ōtautahi preferred option 1, Christchurch NZ and Te Kaha Project Delivery Limited didn’t select an option, but their submissions respectively detailed a clear preference for ‘people-focused streets’ surrounding Te Kaha, and risks to Te Kaha timelines if street works do not proceed.

4.21    The five businesses on Lichfield Street who preferred Option 1 support increased foot traffic, maintained access and use of loading zones. Some had specific parking requests which are being worked through with staff.

4.22    The four businesses on Lichfield Street who preferred Option 2 were concerned about loss of on-street-parking deterring customers, and one-way traffic making it less accessible for both food delivery service providers and vehicles accessing carparks.

4.23    One business on Lichfield Street did not indicate a preference.

4.24    Of the individual submissions received, submitters were more likely to prefer Option 1 (901) than Option 2 (214). 24 individual submitters did not indicate a preference either way.

4.25    Of the 927 submitters who preferred Option 1, 500 supplied comments about the proposal for Lichfield Street.  The most common reasons given for supporting Option 1 included:

4.25.1 enhanced access and safety for pedestrians and other users of active modes of transport (275)

4.25.2 greening and beautification of the street (47)

4.25.3 avoiding ongoing Event Traffic Management Plan (ETMP) costs and/or disruptions (22)

4.26    Of the 252 submitters who preferred Option 2, 181 supplied comments about the proposal for Lichfield Street. The most common reasons given for supporting Option 2 included:

4.26.1 Minimising parking loss (50).

4.26.2 Concerns about Lichfield Street (Manchester to Madras) becoming one-way (44).

4.26.3 Concerns about the cost of these improvements (34).

4.26.4 Concerns that 10km/h speed limit is too slow or unachievable (13).

4.27    The feedback from across all streets was largely in favour of the proposed plans, with key discussion points centring around:

4.27.1 Speed limit reductions

4.27.2 Widening footpaths and the removal of on-street carparks

4.27.3 Inclusion of and types of cycle lanes

4.27.4 Re-configuration of one-way and two-way streets

4.28    The designs have been reviewed against the suggestions received in submissions. There were a number of requests and suggestions which were assessed against the viability, affordability and safety of the design which tied in with the objectives of the package of projects. As a result, 15 changes were made to the original design. These changes include the following:

4.28.1 Changes to the time restrictions/designations at a number of locations

4.28.2 Additional tactile pavers

4.28.3 Additional water fountains

4.28.4 Pedestrian Crossing width adjustments.

5.   The Hearing Te Hui

5.1             The Hearings Panel Members consisted of Councillor Melanie Coker (Chairperson), Councillor Sara Templeton, Councillor Mark Peters, Councillor Tyrone Fields, and Councillor Yani Johanson. 

5.2             The Hearings Panel convened on 3 March, 8 March, 17 March, 23 March, 31 March and 24 April 2023 to consider and deliberate on all submissions received on the proposal.

5.3             After hearing the verbal submissions, the Hearings Panel undertook a site visit along the proposed streets surrounding Te Kaha. The Hearings Panel stopped at various locations within the Te Kaha surrounding streets to discuss the layouts and asked Council Officers questions that have been detailed in Attachment D - Te Kaha Hearings Panellists Queries and Staff Responses.

5.4             Prior to hearing oral submissions, Council officers Jenny Rankin (Snr Project Manager) Barry Hayes (Scheme Designer) Tim Cheesebrough (Senior Transport Planner) Jacob Bradbury (Manager Planning & Delivery Transport) Tessa Zant (Manager Engagement Team) presented a brief overview of the proposed route and submissions analysis. A PowerPoint presentation was made available.

5.5             The project team met with Police, Fire and Emergency NZ and St John to discuss the Te Kaha surrounding streets improvements at early stages of investigations on 30 March 2022.  The feedback from Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ) was as follows:

Lichfield Street (Madras Street – Manchester Street)

5.5.1   It was highlighted the increasing issues for FENZ in trying to get quickly to emergencies in the central city, especially when the streets are designed so that vehicles can’t get off the carriageway to let the fire trucks pass. It was also noted that it was increasingly problematic to get Police resourcing to set up roadblocks when needed quickly.

Trucks needed to be able to take up the middle of the road to set up for firefighting, but FENZ seemed unsure whether the 4-metre vehicle/tram lane on Lichfield Street would be suitable for all firefighting situations, especially for long ladders.

Comments specific to Lichfield Street:

5.5.2   Trees and landscaping can be an impediment for firefighting access and a mountable kerb doesn’t necessarily help, but staff will need more detail on the implications for streetscape design - for example –suitable spacing of trees and location of landscaping in this section of street. Further input was needed.

5.5.3   It was agreed that there was a need for hostile vehicle mitigation, in lead-up to arena. Constriction through Lichfield Street (i.e., slowed, one way potential turning restrictions) would not necessarily cause major concerns as the main station is in Kilmore Street and travelling south is usually via Durham or Barbadoes Streets.

 

 

Barbadoes Street (Hereford Street to Tuam Street)

5.5.4   No access to stadium for fire trucks from this side due to the height difference in access. FENZ would like to have secondary access on this side - e.g., somewhere to park the trucks so the hoses can be taken in to the arena hydrant system. There was a need to allow for FENZ to co-ordinate and work with Police on all four sides of the stadium if needed e.g., high security alerts.

5.5.5   It was suggested there could be a pull-in area on the Te Kaha stadium side. This could work by installing bollards that can be dropped by security staff on activation of a fire alarm.

5.5.6   FENZ is working to see how the use of the inner ring road is viable and how it can be easily navigated with Abley Intelligent Risk input.

5.5.7   FENZ advised the street fire hydrants can be located in the carriageway or footpath.

5.6             The Hearings Panel requested for Officers to discuss Option 3 with Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ), Police and St Johns before the Hearings Panel decision-making meeting on 24 April 2023.

5.7             On 12 April 2023, Council Officers met with Fire and Emergency NZ (FENZ), Police and St Johns to inform them of the detailed scheme design on Option 3. None of the organisations indicated concern with the proposed road layout changes.

6.   Verbal Submissions

6.1             The Hearings Panel heard from 25 submitters, these included a mixture of groups, organisations, local businesses and residents, individuals. The Minutes of the meetings contained the list of presenters, and the Minutes Attachments contains all tabled documents.

6.2             The views expressed by the submitters who presented in person are best captured in their own words thorough their original submissions and / or subsequent documents that were tabled during the process.

6.3             Most key issues raised in the verbal submissions are similar in content to those presented in the original written submissions. Some of the key issues that were raised during the verbal submissions were also raised through the Hearings Panel questions.

6.3.1   Some submitters were concerned around the impact of construction on their businesses and the access to the outdoor dining opportunity.

6.3.2   Some submitters were concerned regarding lack of engagement in the earlier planning stages for the Te Kaha Streets project.

6.3.3   Concerns about the cost of the streets’ improvements.

6.3.4   Speed limit at 10km/h being too slow.

6.3.5   Loss of parking.

6.3.6   Some submitters were concerned there would be a safety issue with the shared spaces.

6.3.7   Landscaping in consistent with maintaining the functionality for all the proposed streets for a range of modes and access needs.

 

 

 

7.   Consideration and Deliberation of Submissions Ngā Whaiwhakaaro o Ngā Kōrero me Ngā Taukume

7.1             As part of its decision-making process the Hearings Panel considered and deliberated on all submissions received on the proposal as well as supplementary information included, further advice from Council Officers, Te Kaha event traffic management plan – Abley Report, (refer to Attachment E), revised Scheme Design Road Safety Audit Report 2022 (refer to Attachment F) and Lichfield Street – Street Layout Options Safety Review 2023 (refer to the Attachment G).

7.2             Council Officers’ responses to the Hearings Panel questions, informed the Hearings Panel in its consideration of the range of views and issues raised by submitters. The document indicates the approach the Hearings Panel took to the consideration of written and verbal submissions received on the proposal.

7.3             The Hearings Panel acknowledged the concerns raised by the community and recognised and valued the time, effort, and investment many people have put in to this process.

7.4             The Hearings Panel received sufficient and adequate information from Council Officers and all parties involved to formulate their recommendations to the Council.

7.5             Option 1 (one-way Option) and Option 3 (Hybrid two-way option with enhanced streetscape)

Considerations  

7.5.1   The Council Officers acknowledged that Option 1 was the least contentious and the preferred option. It was identified that this option had higher costs in the short-term as upgrades are implemented, one-way traffic flow for this section of Lichfield Street would change some local vehicle journey routes including legible route towards Lichfield Street parking buildings and it would require additional parking way-finding changes to south connections.

Officers further advised that Option 1 would have the lowest likely operational costs in the long-term for the Te Kaha Operator due to reduced event traffic management arrangements and less disruptions. It had the most scope to achieve attractive streetscape with landscaping including trees due to reduced traffic needs, increased outdoor dining opportunities, inclusion of passive rain gardens to reduce water run-off.   (Refer to Attachment B- Option 1 - Lichfield Street Te Kaha Improvements for Council Approval)

7.5.2   Following further discussions with the Hearings Panel an alternative option -Option 3 was established which would potentially limit on-going operational costs (i.e., above Option 1) due to scheme including pre-planned event traffic management arrangements, resulting in less disruption. However, it would likely have the highest overall capital cost in the short term as upgrades are implemented.

Officers advised that Option 3 would have more attractive streetscape than the existing landscaping, including trees, increased outdoor dining opportunities, inclusion of passive rain gardens to reduce water run-off. It would retain the two-way traffic for the entire length of the street but at slower speed.  Retain 10 of the 46 existing on-street car parks- (7 for loading, 2 for mobility and 1 for P10 space). Officers advised that an increase in budget of $1.2 Million for a total budget of $23.2 Million noting that this will entail changes to the 2024-34 Long Term Plan.

(Refer to Attachment C - Option 3 - Lichfield Street Te Kaha Improvements for Council Approval).

 

7.5.3   The Hearings Panel expressed concerns with the higher costs, maintaining exit vehicle routes, retaining loading zones, on-street car parks (includes mobility), cycle and pedestrian shared spaces during both the briefing and the site visit which was reiterated through the verbal submissions. The Hearings Panel requested Council Officers to provide alternative solutions for additional parking, streetscape, and shared spaces.

8.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1       Cost to Implement – The individual street budgets are as featuring in Council’s Long-Term Plan (as amended by the 2022/23 Annual Plan) and are $22m for the street works elements, excluding Waters works. The Council has prepared a single stage business case for submission to Waka Kotahi and following their advice as to its content. Waka Kotahi will not confirm funding for this package of projects prior to any Council decision for the works to go ahead, but the understanding is that it is likely to achieve funding support at the current funding rate of 51%.

8.2       Maintenance/Ongoing costs –As these areas already receive maintenance under the maintenance schedule and the preferred option looks to replace aged assets, it is considered that the net ongoing operational costs will not be significantly different to what is currently spent. During the detailed design stage staff will continue to work with the maintenance teams to ensure the future operational costs of the area are represented in future OPEX budgets.

8.3       The total budget for each street upgrade for Option 1 is detailed below:

8.4       Funding Source – Capex. The funding for the project is included in the current long-term plan.

Other He mea anō

8.5       Council are following Waka Kotahi standard business case processes for this package of work. This will continue as the project progresses. The standard 51% National Land Transport Fund (NLTF) subsidy on eligible items is anticipated for this package of work.

1.   Nature of Information Update and Report Origin

1.1       Receiving the Local Government Funding Agency's (LGFA's) Quarter 3 2022/23 Performance Report for the period ending 31 March 2022.

1.2       Following receiving the LGFA's performance report on 28 April 2023, in accordance with the requirements of section 66(3) of the Local Government Act (LGA) 2002.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receives the Local Government Funding Agency’s Quarter 3, 2022/23 Performance Report; and

2.         Agrees that in future, staff report the Local Government Funding Agency’s half year and full year performance to the Finance and Performance Committee, and first and third quarters by exception only.

3.   Brief Summary

3.1       The LGFA is owned by the New Zealand Government (11.1%) and 30 councils (88.9%).  Christchurch City Council, and eight other councils all have equal shareholdings of 8.3% each and the remaining 14.2% is held by 21 other local authorities. 

3.2       Financial performance year to date at Quarter 3 2022/23 against SOI targets and the same quarter in 2021/22 is shown in the table below.

3.3       Net profit is at 79% of the full year target, which is slightly ahead of target if it is apportioned evenly across the 12 months.


 

3.4       Against the prior year (9 months to 31 March 2022), net profit is significantly lower (circa 76%) which was anticipated in full year SOI targets.  This is due to a combination of sharp rises in interest rates in the market which has increased the amount that LGFA needs to post as collateral with its hedging counterparties, costs relating to sustainability initiatives, and the fact that the average term of LGFA loans has become significantly shorter than the average term of its borrowings as councils prepare for potential three waters’ settlements.

3.5       Total lending to participating councils is ahead of last year’s by $2.5 billion.  Included in this are the following:

·    Green, Social and Sustainability (GSS) loans of $265 million for projects related to green buildings, affordable housing and climate change adaptation; and

·    Climate Action loans of $356 million.

3.6       For both, LGFA is expecting increased demand.

Looking ahead

3.7       LGFA comments that it expects Councils’ expenditure plans for 2023/24 to be challenged by higher costs of inflation, interest, insurance, and increased depreciation as a result of asset revaluations and for some, the costs of unexpected weather events.

Performance targets

3.8       Of its 17 targets, 15 are on target at the end of the third quarter 2022/23.  It has been unable to meet its target carbon reductions because it has not yet finalised its reduction plan.  However, LGFA notes it should be completed by the end of Quarter 4.  The other is the financial target for expenditure which is met at Quarter 3 but is expected to exceed target at year end as a result of additional sustainability initiatives and sustainability financing bond issuance.

Reporting

3.9       Section 66(3) of the LGA provides that a Council-controlled organisation is to report quarterly to shareholders if they notify the company that they require it. 

3.10    The LGFA reports to councils quarterly.  Staff consider that the LGFA’s scope of business is sufficiently narrow and that it has strong governance arrangements in place to warrant reporting at six month intervals only.  Staff propose to continue to review the LGFA’s quarterly reports but to provide briefings to the Finance and Performance Committee on the half year and full year performance only.  Reporting on quarters one and three to the Committee would be undertaken by exception only.

Linda Gibb, Performance Advisor, Resources Group (linda.gibb@ccc.govt.nz)

Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Leah Scales, General Manager Resources/Chief Financial Officer (Leah.Scales@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin

1.1       Review of Central Plains Water Trust's (the Trust's) accountability documentation.

1.2       The governance documentation was received from Selwyn District Council, on behalf of the Trust on 8 June 2023.

1.3       The Central Plains Water Joint Committee (JC) comprising two councillors from each of Christchurch City (Deputy Mayor and Councillor Peters) and Selwyn District councils met on 16 June 2023 to consider the following agenda items:

·    Statement of Intent (SOI) for 2023/24 at Attachment A;

·    Annual Report for 2021/22 (draft) at Attachment B;

·    Annual Sustainability Report (ASR) for 2021/22 at Attachment C;

·    Trust Board appointments (no attachments); and

·    Review of the Trust Deed (no attachments).

1.4       The JC does not have decision-making powers.  It makes recommendations to the two Council shareholders.  For JC recommendations to be approved, both Councils must jointly resolve in favour of those recommendations. 

1.5       The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  The level of significance was determined by considering the extent to which the decisions might impact the public.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receives the Central Plains Water Trust’s Statement of Intent for 2023/24;

2.         Endorses the Central Plains Water Trust Joint Committee’s proposal to work with the Central Plains Water Trust to test whether there are ways in which information can be provided by Central Plains Water Ltd on independent water quality monitoring plans and results and how the impacts of climate change might create additional risks to the quality of drinking water supplies for the councils and its methodology for managing risk;

3.         Receives the Central Plains Water Trust Annual Report for 2021/22;

4.         Invites the Central Plains Water Trust to present the Annual Sustainability Report for 2021/22 to the Council at a meeting in July or August 2023;

5.         Approves the re-appointment of current trustees of the Central Plains Water Trust through to 31 March 2024; and

6.         Requests that the Central Plains Water Trust Joint Committee engages with the Chair of the Central Plains Water Trust to develop a formal skills and capabilities matrix to underpin recommendations for new trustees to commence from 1 April 2024.

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       The recommendations in this report reflect governance matters that are required by the LGA, the Trust Deed and which are underpinned by good governance practice.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       The only alternative option is to do nothing which falls short of meeting legal governance requirements.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

Statement of Intent 2023/24

5.1       The JC received the draft SOI on 8 June and considered it at its’ meeting on 16 June.

5.2       The draft SOI is consistent with the prior year’s SOI, with the exception that it includes additional content reflecting the Council’s request for additional monitoring and reporting (refer to the Finance and Performance Committee meeting of 26 April 2023 in which the Council considered its future shareholding in the Trust, FPCO/2023/00042).  These clauses are:

·   reviewing the ASR’s reporting framework and any additional information that would assist the councils to be well-informed of the risks of contaminants reaching drinking water supplies; and

·   engaging with the councils’ environmental staff on the ASR’s findings, following which the Trust presents the ASR to the councils in an open meeting each year.

5.3       The Council also sought the Trust’s commitment to continued enhancement of appropriate governance representation and arrangements for the future and to continue to ensure that public education activities are planned, executed and effective.  These are matters that are in the Trust’s SOI annually.  Having raised them with the Trust, the importance the Council places on these two requirements is clear.

5.4       The final two Council requests below are not addressed in the SOI.  The Trust advises that it cannot make any commitments to report on the following Central Plains Water Ltd activities:

·    independent water quality monitoring plans and results and, in particular how the impacts of climate change might create additional risks to the quality of drinking water supplies for the councils; and

·    methodology for managing risk (for example investigating ways and means of ensuring the evidence base is robust and continuously improving and seeking independent testing and advice as to whether detriment or potential detriment caused by irrigation activities may be overcome/mitigated).

5.5       The JC recommends that in a parallel process it will work with the Trust to test whether there are ways in which the council shareholders can receive enhanced information. 

Annual Report 2021/22

5.6       The Annual Report was due to shareholders by 30 September 2022, pursuant to section 67 of the LGA.  It was significantly delayed as a result of AuditNZ resource constraints, something that the Trust had no control over.  The Annual Report at Attachment B is a draft of the near final report which is still awaiting AuditNZ sign off.

5.7       The Annual Report lists the key performance targets on its last page.  There are no measures of progress included, but achievements are discussed throughout the report to a large extent.   Staff will work to encourage transparent reporting against performance targets in future annual reports. 

5.8       This is particularly important because the targets for 2022/23 (and the latest SOI for 2023/24) include monitoring and reporting on compliance with legal requirements and resource consent conditions.

Annual Sustainability Report

5.9       The Annual Sustainability Report (ASR) for 2021/22 is at Attachment C to this report.  Staff from the Council’s Strategic Policy & Performance Group have analysed the ASR and this is at Attachment D.

5.10    One of the most complex issues is the relationship between the activities in a given period and the impact on environmental outcomes, particularly the quality of the groundwater source of Christchurch’s drinking water supplies.  Uncertainty with respect to the degree of risk to Christchurch’s drinking water sources from the Central Plains irrigation activities arises as the following are unknown:

·    the speed at which groundwater in the Selwyn Waihora sub-region travels;

·    the likely increase in nitrate concentration in Christchurch drinking water wells in the flow path of groundwater travelling from the Selwyn Waihora region; and

·    the extent to which any increase in nitrate concentration in Christchurch drinking water wells, in the flow path of groundwater travelling from the Selwyn Waihora region, can be attributed to activities within the Scheme area.

5.11    The staff analysis of the ASR reveals some initial concerns, particularly the issue of trigger levels being exceeded in 12 of the 20 groundwater quality monitoring wells, with 10 of the wells also exceeding the New Zealand Drinking Water Standard.  However, we need to understand the results in more detail before reaching any conclusions. The ASR advises that the results were less than peak values in the 2017-18 year (i.e. just prior to the irrigation scheme commencing).  The appropriateness of these settings needs to be discussed with the Trust.

5.12    It is proposed that the Trust be invited to present the ASR to the Council at an open meeting in July or August.  Prior to this, staff will meet with the Trust to discuss the matters identified above.

Trustees

5.13    The trustees’ terms expired earlier this year. Four of the five have served one term.  The JC proposes that the terms of the current trustees are extended to 31 March 2024 to allow the completion of this exercise.

5.14    The JC has asked the Chief Executive of Selwyn District Council, as chief advisor to the JC to engage with the Trust Chair to request that he develops a formal skills and capabilities matrix to underpin appointment / re-appointment recommendations. 

5.15    The current trustees are:

·    Mr Pat McEvedy, Chair, appointed 2020;

·    Ms Elle Archer, trustee, appointed 2020;

·    Mr Rob Morrison, trustee, appointed 2020;

·    Mr Les Wanhalla, Te Taumutu Rūnanga, appointed 2020; and

·    Ms Olive Webb, appointed by the Trust in 2015.

Review of the Trust Deed

5.16    The Trust has sought the JC’s support for amending the Trust Deed to bring it up to today’s standards and work has already been done on this.  In practice, this is likely to reflect changes that have been made to other legislation that the Trust must comply with (e.g. the law in relation to trusts was recently modernised and clarified by the Trusts Act 2019).

5.17    Further work is required with the Trust to review the Trust Deed.  Recommendations about changes are likely to be made after the next JC meeting later this year.

1.   Nature of Information Update and Report Origin

1.1       This report presents Venues Ōtautahi's (VŌ's) Quarter 3, 2022/23 performance report for the period ending 31 March 2023.

1.2       VŌ's performance report was received on 31 May 2023, as required by section 66 of the Local Government Act 2002.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receives Venues Ōtautahi’s Quarter 3 2022/23 Performance Report.

3.   Brief Summary

 

Financial Performance

3.1       VŌ’s performance report, at Attachment A presents year-to-date financial performance that materially exceeds both its SOI target and its Quarter 3 2021/22 performance.  The main catalyst is the continued greater than expected demand for event experiences in the post-COVID-19 environment, with a larger proportion of higher yield events delivered.

3.2       The following table shows VŌ’s operating performance for the nine months to 31 March 2023:

3.3       EBITDA of $1.2 million is higher than the SOI target by $1.5 million, much of which is attributable to the SailGP catering contract VŌ was awarded (in a contestable process).  The advantage that the SailGP contract brought to VŌ is that revenues were not as significantly offset by costs associated with venue repairs and maintenance and asset overheads.

3.4       In the period to 31 March 2022 (prior period) international border and other COVID-19 restrictions were in place for much of the period.  Events held in that period numbered 193 (which included the COVID-19 drive-through vaccination programme) against 330 this year. 

3.5       Profitability (at EBITDA) for the nine months to 31 March 2023 is higher by $0.8 million which reflects the significant number of higher yield events held including the SailGP food and beverage contract, offset by the Government’s COVID-19 wage subsidies of $1.8 million in the prior nine month period.  High inflation over the past year has also contributed to this. 

3.6       The unexpected EBITDA surplus that VŌ has generated this year will assist it to meet the additional cost burden from inflation, a 10% rise in the living wage from 1 September 2023 and Te Kaha pre-opening costs.  VŌ’s ongoing need for Council funding support at current levels will be confirmed in the Long Term Plan 2024-34 process. 

Non-financial performance targets

3.7       All targets have either been met year to date, or are on track to be met by the end of June 2023.  Events receiving the community rate number 45 at a cost to VŌ of $126,000.

1.   Nature of Information Update and Report Origin

1.1       This report presents Christchurch City Holdings Ltd (CCHL's) Quarter 3, 2022/23 'traffic lights' performance against Statement of Intent (SOI) targets.

1.2       CCHL's 'traffic lights' performance report was received on 31 May 2023.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Finance and Performance Committee:

1.         Receives Christchurch City Holdings Ltd’s ‘traffic lights’ performance report for Quarter 3 2022/23 (1 July 2022-31 March 2023).

3.   Brief Summary

Financial

3.1       Profitability defined by net profit after tax (NPAT) is on track to meet or exceed SOI targets for all the CCHL subsidiaries.  When SOI financial forecasts were set in 2022, COVID-19 restrictions had not long been lifted.  Considerable uncertainty remained about the way in which the economy would unfold post-COVID-19 including tourism, reduction in the supply chain hold-ups and the macro-economic environment.  Note that the CCHL group is facing a 14% increase in interest expense for the year over SOI forecasts as well as labour shortages. 

3.2       CCHL’s dividend forecast to the Council is on target at $32.4 million for the year.

Sustainability

3.1       The CCHL group target for its subsidiaries to prepare greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) reduction management plans (ERPs) will not be achieved by 30 June 2023.  Following individual subsidiary ERPs being completed, the Group ERP will be finalised, expected to be in July/August 2023. 

Health and Safety

3.2       Enable has recorded four health and safety events against a target of no more than three.  None caused serious harm.
