3. Background
3.1 As
part of their Long-Term Plan 2024-2034, Environment Canterbury committed
$50,000 per zone for the 2024-25 financial year for the CWMS Zone Committee
Action Plan (ZCAP) Budget. The confirmed purpose of the budget is to allow Zone
Committees to focus on implementing their action plan and leverage other
funding opportunities to achieve the CWMS priorities. The Zone Committee
recommends the allocation of the budget and Environment Canterbury then makes
the decisions and provides administration.
3.2 The
main criteria is that projects recommended have alignment with the Committee’s
Action Plan. Other criteria that are considered include: the significance of
the problem or opportunity; expected impact of the project; the extent to which
the community are likely to be engaged; mahinga kai; value for money; whether the
project is feasible, realistic, ready to start; and project management including
leadership and financial oversight.
3.3 At
the September meeting, the Committee supported a recommendation, and
Environment Canterbury approved, $5,000 of the ZCAP budget go towards
co-funding a fundraising workshop series. This leaves $45,000 of the ZCAP
budget left to be allocated for this financial year.
3.4 At the Committee workshop on 22 October 2024, the Committee shared
information about several potential projects that would help the Committee
implement their Action Plan and leverage other funding opportunities to achieve
the Canterbury Water Management Strategy (CWMS) priorities.
3.5 Copies
of the applications were provided, and applicants attended to provide a short
presentation on their project and respond to any Committee member questions.
3.6 A
summary of the applications received, and a suggested funding allocation based
on the project alignment with the Committee’s Action Plan goals and
objectives, and workshop feedback is attached as Attachment 1.
3.7 A copy of the Banks Peninsula Zone Committee Action Plan 2021-2024
can be found on the Environment
Canterbury website.

1. Purpose of Report Te
Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 Provide the Banks Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee with
information on topics relevant to the Committee and its Action Plan.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Banks
Peninsula Water Management Zone Committee:
1. Receives the information in the Committee Updates Report.
3. Report Te Pūrongo
3.1 Progress Update on Review of CWMS Zone Committees
3.1.1 The
information-gathering stage of the Canterbury Zone Committee Review 2024 (the
review) has now been completed and the focus shifted to the development of
advice and options for the future of local freshwater leadership in
Canterbury.
3.1.2 On
30 August, the Canterbury Mayoral Forum nominated four Mayors to work with
Environment Canterbury’s Chair to workshop what local freshwater
leadership the Mayoral Forum will support into the future. The participants are
Mayors Mackle (Kaikōura), Bowen (Timaru), Black (Hurunui), and Mauger
(Christchurch). Mayor Munro (Mackenzie) also joined the working group.
3.1.3 Also
on 30 August, Te Rōpū Tuia agreed to nominate a similar number of
mana whenua representatives to participate in these workshops. The
representatives are Rik Tainui (Chairperson, Ōnuku Rūnanga) and
Dardanelle McLean-Smith (Chairperson, Te Rūnanga o Waihao). Additionally,
Environment Canterbury Councillors Korako and Cranwell participate in the
working group.
3.1.4 The
working group of Mayors, mana whenua representatives and Environment
Canterbury’s Chair and Councillors held workshops in late October and
early November. These workshops focused on (i) core principles and functions
for local freshwater leadership and engagement, and (ii) draft models for
achieving these principles and functions. Feedback from the working group will
help to refine advice and options for enabling future local leadership and
engagement.
3.1.5 Draft
advice and potential options are further discussed with staff from different
territorial authorities across Canterbury to ensure that their feasibility and
practical implications for district and city councils are considered.
3.1.6 Feedback
from these workshops and engagements will be used to finalise advice and
options. A Zone Committee Review final report will be presented to the Mayoral
Forum’s 29 November meeting for their decision. While the nature of this
decision will be informed by the working group of Mayors and mana whenua
representatives, it will likely include a decision on whether or not the
Mayoral Forum continues to support the zone committee structure, and if not,
what alternative models should be further explored before decisions in the
first half of 2025.
3.1.7 This
timing would enable further discussions within individual councils (noting any
changes to the zone committee approach will require a decision by each
individual council given these are joint committees), and for new structures to
be put in place by the start of the 2025/26 year.
3.1.8 Table

3.2 Environment
Canterbury Representation Review
The following is from the Environment
Canterbury website:
3.2.1 Our
Councillors represent different areas of Waitaha/Canterbury; two Councillors
for each of the seven constituencies. Ahead of the next local body elections in
October 2025, Council is proposing that we retain a largely similar
representation arrangement to what is currently in place, with some minor
boundary adjustments.
3.2.2 The
adjustments:
· Minor boundary
adjustments to the Christchurch constituency boundaries to align with the
current city ward boundaries
· Altering the
boundary of the Christchurch Central/Ōhoko constituency to exclude the
Linwood Ward of Christchurch City, and to include the Papanui Ward of
Christchurch City
· Altering the
boundary of the Christchurch North-East/Ōrei constituency to exclude the
Papanui Ward of Christchurch City, and to include the Linwood Ward of
Christchurch City.
3.2.3 You
can view the adopted proposal
map here and the public notice here (External link).
3.2.4 What
happens now:
· The
Council’s final proposal is now open for appeals and objections until 25
November 2024. Any person who made a submission on the Council’s initial
proposal may lodge an appeal against the Council’s decision. An appeal
must relate to the matters raised in that person's submission.
· Any person who
objects to the final proposal may lodge an objection to the Council’s
final proposal. Any objection must identify the matters to which the objection
relates. Any appeals or objections to the final proposal will be referred to
the Local Government Commission for review.
· The Local Government Commission will also be
required to review the Council’s proposal as some constituencies do not
meet the population per member requirements set out in the Local Electoral Act
2001.The Local Government Commission will hold hearings, if required, and make
its final determination on Council’s representation arrangements by April
2025.
· To lodge an
appeal or objection on the final proposal, email haveyoursay@ecan.govt.nz
(subject: Representation Review) by 5pm on 25 November 2024.

3.3 Banks
Peninsula Zone Committee Field Trip to Wairewa/Little River – 10 December
2024
3.3.1 A
field trip to Wairewa/Little River is proposed for the 10 December 2024. The
purpose will be to see some of the good mahi/work that is being done in the
catchment by the Wairewa Mahinga Kai Catchment Group and/or others. The
intention is to invite councillors from both councils to attend.
