"A separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit includes any portion inhabited or used by the owner/a person other than the owner, and who has the right to use or inhabit that portion by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence, or other agreement.

This definition includes separately used parts, whether or not actually occupied at any particular time, which are provided by the owner for rental (or other form of occupation) on an occasional or long term basis by someone other than the owner.

For the purpose of this definition, vacant land and vacant premises offered or intended for use or habitation by a person other than the owner and usually used as such are defined as 'used'.

For the avoidance of doubt, a rating unit that has a single use or occupation is treated as having one separately used or inhabited part."

Zero Carbon Alliance and Work Programme Update

Department: Corporate Policy and Sustainability Group

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the Zero Carbon Alliance and the Zero Carbon work programme.

2 This paper presents a revised Memorandum of Understanding and the proposed Terms of Reference for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group.

3 This paper also provides an update on the Zero Carbon work programme, including:

· reducing the DCC’s emissions

· reducing Dunedin City’s emissions

· embedding climate mitigation considerations into the DCC’s business-as-usual processes

· communications, engagement and advocacy.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a) Approves the revised Zero Carbon Alliance Memorandum of Understanding;

b) Approves the Terms of Reference for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group;

c) Delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to incorporate any further minor amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding or Terms of Reference sought by founding partners, and to sign the final version of the Memorandum of Understanding on the Council’s behalf;

d) Notes the update on the Zero Carbon work programme.

BACKGROUND

Zero Carbon Alliance

4 In March 2021 a report was presented to Council setting out a proposed approach to establish a Zero Carbon Alliance (the Alliance).

5 The Alliance was conceived as a mechanism to progress collaboration on city-wide emissions reduction, as well as gain greater visibility of emissions reduction initiatives and share of good practice. The proposed membership included Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki and Ōtākou Rūnaka, and a small number of significant entities with existing ambitions to reduce emissions with whom the DCC was already partnering; Otago Regional Council, Southern District Health Board, University of Otago, and the Otago Polytechnic.

6 The proposed form of the Alliance included a Collaboration Group to oversee and facilitate actions required to support the achievement of Zero Carbon Alliance objectives. Key representatives would facilitate the Alliance’s work programme between meetings.

7 The agreement between parties to the Alliance was set out in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), with a Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Collaboration Group to establish roles and functions.

8 Council resolved to approve the draft Zero Carbon Alliance MoU, and delegated authority to the Chief Executive to incorporate amendments to the MoU, as follows:

Moved (Cr Steve Walker/Mayor Aaron Hawkins):

That the Council:

a) Notes that the Zero Carbon 2030 Alliance replaces the Dunedin Energy Leaders’ Accord;

b) Approves the draft Zero Carbon 2030 Alliance Memorandum of Understanding for submission to the governing bodies of potential founding partners;

c) Delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer to incorporate any amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding sought by founding partners, and to sign the final version on the Council’s behalf;

d) Notes that, following signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, the final version would be brought back to Council for noting; and

e) Notes that, following signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, a draft Terms of Reference for the Zero Carbon 2030 Collaboration Group would be developed and brought back to Council for adoption.

Motion carried (CNL/2021/048)

9 At the Council meeting, discussion included the degree of amendment that should be delegated to the Chief Executive Officer to incorporate. Staff clarified that, should there be substantive change to the MoU sought by prospective partners, the revised MoU would be returned to Council for approval.

Zero Carbon work programme

10 In June 2019, Council provided additional strategic direction to existing climate change mitigation commitments, by declaring a climate emergency and bring forward the emissions target for the city, as follows:

Moved (Cr Aaron Hawkins/Cr Marie Laufiso):

That the Council:

a) Declares a Climate Emergency.

b) Acknowledge that all levels of central government need to act.

c) Agrees that a business as usual transition to a low carbon economy is inadequate.

d) Develops a Climate Emergency Plan that:

i) Sets a city target of net zero carbon by 2030, with interim milestones;

ii) Quantifies the actions available to Council, community and central government to ensure these targets are met.”

Division

The Council voted by division:

For: Crs David Benson-Pope, Rachel Elder, Christine Garey, Aaron Hawkins, Marie Laufiso, Damian Newell, Jim O'Malley, Kate Wilson and Dave Cull (9).

Against: Crs Doug Hall, Mike Lord, Conrad Stedman, Lee Vandervis and Andrew Whiley (5).

Abstained: Nil

The division was declared CARRIED by 9 votes to 5

Motion carried (CNL/2019/001)

11 As part of 2019/20 Annual Plan deliberations, the Council provided two years of funding to establish a dedicated work programme to meet climate change mitigation planning needs. This funding enabled:

· DCC-wide assessment of current/planned activities’ alignment with the Zero Carbon 2030 target, and barriers to achieving alignment (the ‘Climate 2030 Rapid Review’)

· identification of opportunities (and provision of guidance to staff and Council) to maximise alignment of the 2021-31 10 Year Plan with the Zero Carbon 2030 target, within timing and resource constraints

· initial improvements to DCC emissions management processes and emissions reduction planning

· initial work to alignment procurement processes with the Zero Carbon 2030 target

· advocacy about climate change mitigation at a regional and national level (via submissions)

· development of a forward Zero Carbon work programme focused on achievement of the Zero Carbon 2030 target.

12 The 10 Year Plan 2021-31 provided funding to progress the Zero Carbon work programme, including strategic projects to reduce emissions at both the DCC organisation and city-wide level. Work underway spans the following areas:

· emissions reduction and management of the DCC’s organisational emissions

· encouraging and facilitating emissions reduction for Dunedin, through a city-wide emissions reduction plan and partnerships with key stakeholders

· creating mechanisms to consider climate change mitigation as part of the DCC’s processes and decision-making

· communications and engagement to support these streams of work, and advocacy about climate change mitigation at a regional and national level.

DISCUSSION

Revised Zero Carbon Alliance MoU

13 Feedback has been received from all parties on the draft MoU.

· Feedback from most prospective institutional parties to the agreement was received by mid-2021. This feedback was included in a previous update report (November 2021).

· In February 2022, the (then) Southern District Health Board agreed to be partner in the Alliance.

· Kā Rūnaka have recently confirmed their preference is to be kept appraised of the work programme through pre-existing agreements, rather than by becoming party to the Zero Carbon Alliance.

14 The revised MoU (Attachment A) incorporates feedback from institutional parties and reflects the preference of Kā Rūnaka. A copy with amendments and rationale marked up, is also attached to this report (Attachment B). The revised MoU has been reviewed from a legal perspective.

15 The revised MoU is presented for Council’s approval, because it was thought the changes may be considered substantive.

Proposed Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group ToR

16 Since early 2022, key representatives from each institutional party have been meeting informally to develop the draft ToR for the Collaboration Group, establish approaches to collaboration, and identify forward work programme priorities.

17 The draft ToRs for the Collaboration Group are attached (Attachment C). These have been reviewed from a legal perspective.

18 This report presents the proposed ToR for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group for Council’s approval, in line with Council’s March 2021 resolution.

Zero Carbon work programme update

19 Since funding for the forward Zero Carbon work programme was confirmed by Council through the 10 Year Plan 2021-31, the following work has been completed:

a) Recruitment to achieve staffing levels required to effectively administer the work programme

b) Implementation of an emissions software solution to improve DCC emissions management

c) Refresh of the DCC’s Emissions Reduction and Management Plan (EMRP), and associated organisational emissions reduction targets

d) Development of a communications and engagement plan to support DCC EMRP implementation

e) Development of an approach and timeframes for Zero Carbon Plan development

f) Development/adoption of interim guiding principles for the Zero Carbon work programme (strategic considerations to guide city-wide emissions reduction plan development)

g) Development/adoption of the DCC Zero Carbon Policy (including technical parameters to guide city-wide emissions reduction plan development)

h) Liaison and finalisation of formal documentation relating to establishment of the Zero Carbon Alliance

i) Development of submissions on Te hau mārohi ki anamata, the Government’s emissions reduction plan discussion document, and the Environment Select Committee’s examination of the Government’s emissions budgets and emissions reduction plan.

OPTIONS

21 In relation to the Zero Carbon Alliance, two options have been identified.

Option One – Recommended Option

22 Approve the revised Zero Carbon Alliance MoU and ToR for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group, and delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to incorporate any further minor amendments sought by founding partners, and to sign the final version of the MoU on the Council’s behalf.

Advantages

· Prospective parties to the Zero Carbon Alliance are already collaborating on emissions reduction. A formal partnership will support and provide an opportunity to amplify existing partnership-based emissions reduction efforts.

· The Zero Carbon Alliance is anticipated to play a key support role in the development of a city-wide emissions reduction plan, and ensure that the plan has a greater chance of being effectively implemented.

· Amendments reflect prospective parties’ mutually agreed approach to collaboration, and the preference of Kā Rūnaka to be kept appraised of activity under the Alliance through existing MoU mechanisms.

Disadvantages

· None identified.

Option Two – Status Quo

23 Do not approve the revised Zero Carbon Alliance MoU and ToR for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group.

Advantages

· DCC resource earmarked to support the Alliance could be redeployed to other tasks.

Disadvantages

· Major institutions will continue to collaborate on activities that have an emissions reduction focus, but these efforts will remain uncoordinated.

· Major institutions will be approached separately to support the development of a city-wide emissions reduction plan, however that approach is considered likely to be less efficient and effective.

NEXT STEPS

24 If Council approves the revised Zero Carbon Alliance MoU and ToR for the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group, prospective parties will proceed through formal sign off procedures. Following signing of the MoU, the first meeting of the Zero Carbon Alliance Collaboration Group will be scheduled.

25 The wider Zero Carbon work programme will be progressed as set out in the work programme update.

SUMMARY OF CONSIDERATIONS

Fit with purpose of Local Government

The Zero Carbon work programme is anticipated to promote the social, economic and environmental well-being of communities in the present and for the future, by facilitating a transition to a low emissions economy.

Fit with strategic framework

	Contributes	Detracts	Not applicable
Social Wellbeing Strategy	☐	☐	☒
Economic Development Strategy	☒	☐	☐
Environment Strategy	☒	☐	☐

The Zero Carbon work programme was assessed as directly contributing to the goals of the Economic Development and Environment Strategies, with clear links to the 3 Waters Strategy, Spatial Plan and Integrated Transport Strategy, Energy Plan 1.0, and the DCC’s Emissions Management and Reduction Plan. Action to reduce emissions is also likely to have co-benefits that contribute to the goals of the Social Wellbeing and Arts and Culture Strategies.

Māori Impact Statement

Zero Carbon Alliance

The report discusses the establishment of a Zero Carbon Alliance or similar partnership-based approach to city-wide emissions reduction efforts. The Māori Participation Working Party considered the concept in late 2021, and recommended to Kā Rūnaka that they consider participation. Liaison with Kā Rūnaka has occurred throughout MoU development and refinement. Kā Rūnaka have recently confirmed their preference is to be kept appraised of the work programme through pre-existing agreements, rather than by becoming party to the Zero Carbon Alliance. Amendments have been made to give effect to this preference.

Zero Carbon work programme update

A Treaty of Waitangi analysis was undertaken during Zero Carbon Policy development. The analysis suggested that aspects of future steps in the Zero Carbon work programme are likely to have effects on Māori. These will be explored further during the city-wide emissions reduction plan development. Further plan-specific Treaty analysis and a briefing for mana whenua representatives during August are planned next steps. The Zero Carbon team is working with Corporate Policy/Māori Partnerships staff on the development of process guidance associated with the Zero Carbon Policy, to ensure alignment with evolving DCC practice around Treaty considerations.

Sustainability

Climate change mitigation/emissions reduction efforts are considered key to sustainability. ‘Climate Action’ is one of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, reflecting the centrality of action on climate change to the achievement of sustainable development. Without significant cuts to emissions, climate change impacts will further accelerate, with commensurate negative impacts on the social, environmental, cultural and economic wellbeing of New Zealand communities. Conversely, actions to reduce emissions generally have significant co-benefits in terms of community wellbeing.

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy

The Zero Carbon work programme was funded through the 10 Year Plan.

Financial considerations

There are no financial considerations.

Significance

This report is considered of low significance in terms of the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

Engagement – external

Engagement with Kāti Huirapa Rūnaka ki Puketeraki, Ōtākou Runaka, the Otago Regional Council, the Southern District Health Board, the University of Otago and the Otago Polytechnic has occured as part of Zero Carbon Alliance MoU and Collaboration Group ToR development and refinement. The MoU and ToR have been reviwed by Anderson Lloyd.

As part of Zero Carbon work programme business-as-usual, the DCC engages with external parties on an as-required basis.

Engagement - internal

As part of Zero Carbon work programme business-as-usual, the DCC engages with a wide range of departments and teams across the organisation on both a regular and as-required basis.

Risks: Legal / Health and Safety etc.

There may be reputational risks for the DCC associated with non-delivery on emissions reduction ambitions, given the target adopted by Council in 2019.

Conflict of Interest

No conflict of interest has been identified.

Community Boards

Actions to reduce emissions such as the Zero Carbon Alliance and the broader Zero Carbon work programme will be of interest to all members of the community, including those covered by the Community Boards.
