1. Purpose of Report Te
Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Banks Peninsula Water
Management Zone Committee to discuss a proposal for supporting groups to
realise their fundraising potential, and to discuss and confirm the next steps.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Banks
Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee:
1. Receives the information in the Supporting Groups to Realise their Fundraising
Potential Report.
2. Recommends to Environment Canterbury to use
$5000 of the Zone Committee Action Plan Budget towards evenly co-funding the
total cost of the Workshop Series
3. Agrees to a set fee amount of $50 incl. GST
for all attendees.
3. Report Te Pūrongo
Funding challenges
for groups
3.1 Securing funding has been identified as an obstacle for
environmental groups and organisations to achieving their objectives. The
reduction in available project funding, for various reasons, has heightened
competition among groups and emphasises the need for groups to have robust
proposals to maximise their chances of securing funding.
3.2 For some groups and individuals, there is a knowledge gap regarding
the requirements for a successful application and the different funding streams
available to them.
The Fundraising Agency
3.3 The
Fundraising Agency’s (formerly Barrer & Co’s) vision is
‘Giving Confidence. The company can help entities develop successful
fundraising strategies and help navigate the funding application process.
3.4 A
small group of Committee members met with the Fundraising Agency to discuss
opportunities to support groups and organisations in Banks Peninsula to reach
their funding goals. A proposal was drafted for the Committee’s
consideration and was provided to Committee members prior to this meeting.
3.5 The
Fundraising Agency has offered to lead a series of fundraising workshops, aimed
to address the gaps and opportunities for the local groups’ projects to
help improve freshwater and/or biodiversity outcomes. These workshops will have
an associated cost with a maximum number of organisations that can attend.
3.6 An
email to gauge community group interest was sent to several organisations and
groups based in the Banks Peninsula zone. Six groups indicated they would
be interested in attending. The majority noted paying attendance costs would be
an obstacle.
3.7 A
quote was provided for the Committee’s consideration covering several scenarios.
This quote is valid until 30 September 2024. If a decision is not made at this
meeting, a new quote, likely at a higher cost, will be required.
3.8 Opportunities
to co-fund the workshop series was investigated, and one foundation has agreed
to co-fund the workshop series up to $5000.
3.9 Direction
is required from the Committee as to how it would like to proceed with the
proposal.
Options
If the Committee wishes
to work with the Fundraising Agency to provide these workshops at full, part or
no cost, there are several options for the Committee to consider:
3.10 Option
1: The Committee agrees to
3.10.1 50/50 co-fund
the full cost of the Workshop Series; and
3.10.2 Recommends
$5000 of the Zone Committee Action Plan Budget go towards Workshop Series
3.10.3 A set fee of
$50 for attendees.
3.11 Option
1 considerations:
· Removes most of the cost
barrier therefore improving accessibility for groups and enhancing
participation.
· A set fee of $50 for
attendees helps ensure commitment from individuals and encourage attendance.
· Strengthens relationships
with other funding organisations and participating groups and organisations.
· The maximum cost using the
Zone Committee Action Plan Budget (ZCAP) is $5,000 plus GST.
· This leaves $45,000 of
ZCAP funds to be allocated.
· Action Plan Alignment
– the Workshop Series will support multiple groups whose undertake
work/projects that align with the Action Plan. Improving their ability to
secure funds will hem them deliver freshwater and environmental outcomes as per
the Zone Committee Action Plan and CWMS.
3.12 This
is the staff recommended option as it strikes a balance between cost and
commitment for attendees. By keeping the fee low enough to avoid creating a
significant financial barrier, yet ensuring attendees are still financially
invested, this option effectively encourages commitment while making the event
more accessible.
3.13 Option
2: The Committee agrees to
3.13.1 50/50 co-fund
part of the Workshop Series cost; and
3.13.2 Recommends
$4700 of the Zone Committee Action Plan Budget go towards Workshop Series
3.13.3 A set fee of
$250
3.13.4 This option
provides subsidised rates for the workshop service making it more cost
effective for attendees however, it will reduce accessibility for groups who
cannot afford the higher fee.
3.13.5 A set fee of
$250 is based on 12 attendees. Setting a fixed fee offers participants greater
certainty regarding their expenses however, if there were less attendees, then
the cost of those vacancies would need to be covered. Therefore, an additional
$1,000 is recommended to cover any unexpected vacancies and the total cost to
the Committee would be up to S4,700.
3.13.6 Strengthens
relationships with other funding organisations and participating groups and
organisations.
3.13.7 The maximum
cost for the Committee could be $5,000 plus GST if agree to pay 50% of the
overall cost.
3.13.8 More cost
effective for the Committee and/or co-funders.
3.14 Option
3: The Committee agrees to
3.14.1 50/50 co-fund
the costs of the first workshop, at a cost of $1,750 of the Zone Committee
Action Plan Budget and organisations sign up for the rest of the workshop
series at their own cost which are shared between groups and organisations; and
3.14.2 Recommends
$3,000 of the Zone Committee Action Plan Budget go towards Workshop Series.
3.15 Option
3 considerations:
· Provides an initial workshop to allow participants the opportunity
to develop their vision and values and frame up their strategy for their
project. Attendees can then determine if the subsequent workshops would be
beneficial for their group.
· Cost for attendees if all spots are filled would be $622.92 incl.
GST.
· The cost for the initial workshop would be $3,500 plus GST and would
so $1,750 of ZCAP funds.
· As the number of participants for future workshops in the series is
unknown, this creates uncertainty around the costs to be split between
parties. The Committee could opt to put more ZCAP funding towards the
workshops to reduce the overall cost for attendees and if this option is
chosen, the recommendation would need to be amended to include an amount the
Zone Committee would recommend for this purpose.
· Will reduce accessibility for groups who cannot afford the fee.
· More cost effective for the Committee.
3.16 Option
4: The Committee could opt instead to promote the services provided by
Fundraising Agency by other means e.g. advertising/communications with their
networks.
3.17 Option
4 considerations:
· Increases awareness of the services the Fundraising Agency provides
to community groups and organisations.
· Cost remains a barrier to participation for community groups and
organisations.
· Little to no cost to the Committee.
4. Discussion
4.1 The
following questions have been developed to help guide discussion:
4.1.1 What
does the Committee need clarification on?
4.1.2 Are
there any other options that Committee would like to consider?
4.1.3 Is
further information required?
4.1.4 What
option does the Committee support?

1. Purpose of Report
Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide
the Banks Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee with information on the
community engagement events/relevant updates and actions from previous
meetings.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That
the Banks Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee:
1. Receives
the information in the Facilitator
Updates Report.
2. Confirms
the Committee will continue to use its 2021-2024 Canterbury Water Management
Strategy Action Plan, until such time when the requirements for a 2024-2027
Canterbury Water Management Strategy Action Plan are clarified.
3. Report Te
Pūrongo
The following updates
are provided for the Committee’s information and/or decision:
3.1 Zone Committee Action Plan 2021-24 –
confirm for use in 2024
This
update provides the committee with an opportunity to discuss and confirm if any
amendments are required currently to the committee’s 2021-24 CWMS Action
Plan.
With
the current review of Zone Committees and the future needs for local leadership
on freshwater management underway, it is recommended that the committee
continue to use the 2021-24 Action Plan until the requirements for a 2024-27
CWMS Action Plan are clarified.
3.2 Environment
Canterbury Representation Review
Environment
Canterbury Councillors represent different areas of Waitaha/Canterbury.
Environment Canterbury is currently reviewing how fair and effective our
representation arrangements are. Due to population changes, we need to make
some changes before the next local body elections in October 2025.
The
Local Electoral Act 2001 requires councils to undertake a representation review
every six years.
For
a regional council, the review must cover:
· The number of electoral areas –
constituencies (local councils use wards)
· The boundaries of those constituencies and
their names
· The number of Councillors to represent
them.
To
ensure effective and fair representation, there are four things we must
consider:
· The number of people represented within
each constituency area (population).
· The alignment of communities of interest
within each constituency.
· The alignment of constituencies to local
council boundaries or wards.
· How many elected Councillors should
represent each constituency (each Councillor should represent roughly the same
population +/- 10 per cent).
In
May, the Committee held an online workshop and provided feedback on the
potential options being considered for consultation as part of the preliminary
engagement.
Ahead
of the next local body elections in October 2025, Environment Canterbury
Council is proposing that the Ashburton District area be combined with the
current South Canterbury/Ōtuhituhi constituency, to form a larger
Mid-South Canterbury/Ōtuhituhi constituency. This leaves
Selwyn/Waikirikiri as its own constituency.
It
is proposed that the constituencies be called Selwyn/Waikirikiri and Mid-South
Canterbury/Ōtuhituhi. The proposal also includes realigning the
Christchurch city constituency boundaries to the current Christchurch City
Council wards.
Formal
public consultation closed on 2 September 2024.

3.3 Environment Canterbury Long Term Plan
adopted
Environment
Canterbury’s Long Term Plan 2024-34 was adopted on 26 June 2024.
programmes
and resource requirements such as expenditure and funding for a 10-year period.
We produce a new Long-Term Plan every three years, which incorporates our
Annual Plan for the first of the three years. A separate annual plan is
produced for years two and three.

3.4 Christchurch City Council Long Term Plan
adopted
The
Christchurch City Council (CCC) Long Term Plan 2024-2034 was adopted on 27 June
2024.
The
Long Term Plan is reviewed every three years and outlines the Council's
activities, services, capital programme and finances for the next 10 years.
The
plan sets the direction for all the activities and services the Council
provides, and what level of service will be provided. It also includes how the
Council wants to pay for these services; by setting rates and managing its
finances. The plan also sets the strategic direction for the Council –
where we are going and what we want to achieve in the community.

3.5 Regional Policy Statement (RPS) development
Environment
Canterbury undertook targeted stakeholder consultation on the draft RPS in
June/July 2024. This is done in accordance with the RMA Schedule 1, clause 3
(RMA S1C3).
Zone
Committees were provided with a copy for their information. As zone committees
are joint committees of the Council, they are precluded from making submissions
on the Regional Policy Statement. Now that the RMA S1C3 submission period has
ended, the planning team is currently redrafting the RPS to incorporate some of
the feedback it has received and will have further discussion with some of the
key stakeholders as required. There has been a huge amount of feedback to read
and process, and a summary, as well as verbatim content, is due to be presented
to Councillors later this week (Thursday 15 August) - for their
information/discussion only at the stage. The decision point in this process
won’t be until November.
When
the proposed Canterbury Regional Policy Statement 2024/25 is publicly notified,
stakeholders and the general public will have the opportunity to submit on the
proposed RPS and provide subsequent evidence and/or speak to their submission
before the hearing panel. The CRPS is expected to be notified in December 2024
or early in 2025.
