6       DCC Submission on the Zero Carbon Bill

 

In a report from Community and Planning, the Senior Policy Analyst attached a draft Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission to the Ministry of the Environment’s Discussion Document on the proposed Zero Carbon Bill.

The Ministry of the Environment has developed the Zero Carbon Bill to provide a legislative framework for a transition to a low-emissions economy, including a legislated target for emission reductions by 2050, and the proposed establishment of a Climate Commission to recommend multiple five-yearly national carbon budgets.

The proposed options for the target are: net zero carbon dioxide by 2050; net zero long-lived gases and stabilised short-lived gases by 2050; or net zero emissions by 2050. 

The DCC submission notes that the first option aligns with Dunedin’s reduction target, adopted by the Council in February 2018 as part of participating in the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy.  The submission also notes that the Council resolved to align its target for Dunedin to the national position on a target for short-lived greenhouse gases (including methane), once determined.

 

 

Discussion took place on the proposed submission with Cr Hawkins indicating some amendments to paragraphs 7 and 10.

 

 

Moved (Cr Aaron Hawkins/Cr Kate Wilson):

That the Committee:

 

a)     Approves the submission with the following amendments:

Paragraph 7. The DCC supports the government setting a target of net zero emissions by 2050. While we accept that short and long-lived gases have different effects, recent research suggests methane can cause sea-levels to rise centuries after it stops being emitted. Stabilising emissions will be inadequate to try and stabilise our changing climate.  

 

We also recognise the ambition of the Farming Leaders Group – including representatives from Dairy NZ; Federated Farmers; Beef & Lamb New Zealand; Fonterra Shareholders Council, Irrigation NZ and Horticulture NZ - in supporting a net zero emissions target for the agrifood sector by 2050. We need to be supporting our agricultural sector in achieving these ambitions.

 

Paragraph 10. The DCC supports a fair and inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy which does not disproportionately disadvantage Dunedin’s socially and economically vulnerable communities. Hence the DCC supports a Climate Commission and the Government ensuring that sufficient support and opportunities are available to those affected by inevitable changes in the labour market. Achieving the targets should remain the primary goal, with adequate support ensuring a ‘just transition’.

 

That said, we understand that the evidence base upon which the targets and carbon budgets are built is constantly evolving. We support adjustments being made accordingly, so long as they remain consistent with both the scientific consensus and our international commitments.

 

Motion carried  on a division (ED/2018/022)

 

For:          Crs David Benson-Pope, Rachel Elder, Doug Hall, Aaron Hawkins, Marie Laufiso, Damian Newell, Jim O'Malley, Conrad Stedman, Andrew Whiley, Kate Wilson,  Chris Staynes and Mayor , Dave Cull (12).

 

Against:     Nil

 

Abstention: Cr Lee Vandervis

 

 

7       DCC submission on the Ministry for Culture and Heritage's survey on strengthening New Zealand’s protection system for heritage buildings

 

In a report from Planning, the Heritage Planner provided a copy of the draft Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission to the Ministry of Culture and Heritage’s survey on strengthening New Zealand’s protection system for heritage buildings.

The Ministry for Culture and Heritage is undertaking an assessment of New Zealand’s system for protecting heritage buildings to inform work on how the system could be enhanced.  This follows on from concerns that the preventable and irreversible loss of heritage buildings which is occurring in New Zealand.

To help inform this assessment, the Ministry for Culture and Heritage is consulting with stakeholders.  They are interested in hearing views on how heritage buildings are recognised and protected in New Zealand, and how the protection system may be improved.

The DCC submission welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback on the existing heritage protection system.  It highlights the following opportunities for improvement:

·      National guidance under the RMA on heritage protection, and consideration of streamlined processes under the RMA to schedule heritage buildings on District Plans that have already been entered on the New Zealand Heritage List;

·      Improving the legal tools available to require heritage building owners to maintain their properties to a standard that avoids irreversible damage (e.g. demolition by neglect);

·      Increasing capacity within Heritage New Zealand at regional level to support councils, other organisations and heritage building owners; and

·      Increasing grant funds available to heritage building owners for earthquake strengthening and restoration.

The draft submission also expresses the DCC’s interest in further involvement in the review process later this winter.

 

 

Discussion took place on the submission with Cr Benson-Pope proposing an amendment.

 

 

Moved (Cr David Benson-Pope/Cr Aaron Hawkins):

That the Committee:

 

a)     Notes and approves the DCC submission on the Ministry of Culture and Heritage’s survey on strengthening New Zealand’s protection system for heritage buildings with the following amendment:

·  Ask the Government to investigate market failure in the insurance sector (in respect of heritage buildings) and consider methods of ensuring that affordable cover is available to the owners of heritage buildings.

A report from City Development provided a copy of the draft Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission to the Ministry for the Environment’s Draft National Planning Standards Consultation Document.  It noted that the deadline for submissions on the Draft National Planning Standards was Friday 17 August 2018.

The report also noted that the Draft National Planning Standard sets a standard structure and some standardised content for District Plans across New Zealand.  It would affect the future content allowed in the District Plan and the timeframe in which a full Plan Review must be undertaken, shortening this from 10 years from the Plan becoming operative (beyond appeals) to seven years from gazettal of the Standard. This has a particular impact for Dunedin as the Council was about to finish its full Plan Review.

Following discussion, it was agreed that the following amendments would be included in the draft National Planning Standards submission:

Hearings Committee

 

MINUTES

 

Minutes of an ordinary meeting of the Hearings Committee held in the Edinburgh Room, Municipal Chambers, The Octagon, Dunedin, on Thursday 22 March 2018, commencing at 9.00 am

 

PRESENT

 

Chairperson

Commissioner Colin Weatherall

 

 

 

IN ATTENDANCE

Grant Redman (Commercial and Project Manager, Parks and Recreation) and Maria Sleeman (Leasing Officer, Parks and Recreation)

 

Governance Support Officer       Wendy Collard

 

 

Commissioner Weatherall advised that he was the Chairperson of the Sunnyvale Sporting Centre and was dealing with staff on a matter along with the Sunnyvale Sporting Centre's Legal Counsel.  Mr Weatherall commented that he did not have a pecuniary interest in the matter.

1       Submission on Emerson Park Recreation Reserve Revocation of Reservation

The Commissioner gave consideration to the proposed Reserve revocation over part of the Emerson Park Recreation Reserve. 

The report noted that in 1984 a small part of Emerson Park Recreation Reserve (the Reserve) was developed to be used as part of the adjoining property at 18 Emerson Street, Dunedin, with a licence to occupy the reserve land granted to the owner.

The owner has applied to purchase the licensed land that was legally part of the Reserve.  The sale of the land was approved by Council at its meeting held on 28 March 2018.  Part of the process to give effect to the sale was that the recreation reservation of the licensed land needed to be revoked.  The action was undertaken under section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977 and came with a public notification process as specified in Section 24(2)(c).

One submission was received with the submitter wishing to be heard.  The submission described that the area was set aside for off-leash exercise for dogs pursuant to clause 5.6.1(d) of the Dunedin City Dog Control By-Law 2016.

Under the Reserves Act 1977, submitters needed to demonstrate that the area was required for future recreational use.  Revocation of part of the reserve would not detract from the amenity, or the use of the balance reserve.  Therefore it was recommended that the objection be declined in this instance.

The Commercial and Project Manager (Grant Redman) spoke to the report and  provided a background to the working party which had been formed to help identify how dog control could be better managed in the City.  Mr Redman commented that consideration of improving the operation of the Dog Control Bylaw ("the Bylaw") was one factor in the matters under contemplation by the working party.  He noted that the submitter was a member of this working party. Mr Redman advised that he felt that these matter were not able to be taken into account in respect of the decisions as they related to a different Council processes.  Therefore, parts of the submission which referred to those factors should be given no weight.

In response to questions, the Leasing Officer (Maria Sleeman) advised that the land concerned had never been used as part of the Reserve by a creek and had been leased by the owner for a number of years.  Mrs Sleeman commented that while it had been expired for a number of years, it had taken this time to get to this point.

Mrs Sleeman responded to a question on the reinstatement of the land should the revocation be declined and whether the cost for this would lie with the owners of 18 Emerson Street.  She advised that Council had yet to make a decision.

Submitter

Karen Anderson spoke to her submissions and commented that the granting of the leases, licences and the revocation of Reserves would be inconsistent with status created by the Bylaw. 

Miss Anderson then spoke to her submission on the Emerson Park Recreation Reserve revocation of reservation and advised that the reasons for her objection included:

·           Right of access for dogs off the leash as provided for by the Bylaw;

·           the revocation of the reserve would be changing the Bylaw; and

·           concerns contaminants and the removal of structures should the revocation of the reserve be declined.

Miss Anderson commented that the Commissioner was making a decision on what was happening now and what might be happening in the future.

2       Submission on the Granting of a Licence over part Mulford Park Recreation Reserve

·      Overhanging Trees – an arborist will be trimming the overhanging trees by the cemetery to make this area safe.  NZTA are to have a discussion with DCC, as ideally would like to remove the trees, as concerned they may be hazardous.  Around 40 pine trees further down the road will be removed for safety reasons.

·      6 Mile Creek Bridge – spot repairs are being undertaken currently, with a proper fix will to be undertaken at a later date.

·      Rumble Strips – it was noted that parts of the road have been narrowed considerably with the installation of rumble strips.  The noise to residents in some of the valleys a problem.  Mr Rodger advised that there are rules about noise, and a noise issue in this area was not expected.  If NZTA could be advised of the problem areas, some could be taken out.  Rumble strips have been put in to stop cars running off the road and crossing the centre line.  They do wear, so will become less noisy. 

·      Yellow lines – it was noted that there are a lot of no passing lines on SH87 from Dunedin to Middlemarch.  Mr Rodgers noted that road signs and speed limits are often ignored.  Road markings are a traffic control tool, and subject to meeting national rules. 

·      Safety measures – Mr Rodgers advised it would be hard to get more slow vehicle bays due to the low traffic levels on SH87.  Signage for ice would be reviewed throughout the district.  Mr Rodgers explained the resources that will be available over the winter months to deal with ice and snow.  It was suggested that NZTA talk to the community board about areas for improvement, laybys, room to widen etc.  Mr Rodgers

An apology was received from Suzanne Watt from Downers.

·      Culvert work – the DCC flood list had been updated, and culvert work would be done after Hartfield Road.  Work is being done by priority

·      Dunstan Road – very corrugated with deep rutting.  36 km in from SH87 is the DCC boundary, and issues of vandalism. 

·      Fill – an issue was raised that offers from locals to take fill from work sites was being declined.  Mr Lord advised that where possible, fill being dump where wanted locally was desirable. 

 

8       Emergency Management Update

 

Paul Allen from Emergency Management Otago was in attendance and provided an update of the activities of Emergency Management Otago to the Community Board. 

 

Mr Allen gave an update on community response planning noting that his role involves  working with communities building plans.  The plans will have lists of hazards appropriate for each area, and ensure that people have information on how to deal with those hazards.  Emergency management staff want to engage with communities to identify people who know what to do, how to activate in an emergency, and receive training etc.
