"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."

Regulatory Subcommittee Recommendations on the proposed parking changes-June 2022

Department: Infrastructure and Networks

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report presents the recommendations of the Regulatory Subcommittee (the Subcommittee) on proposed minor changes or clarifications to current parking restrictions, and corrections to the parking controls database of the Dunedin Traffic Parking Bylaw 2010 (the GIS database).

2          After considering the proposed changes and the feedback from consultation, the Subcommittee recommends that all proposed minor changes, clarifications to parking restrictions and corrections to the GIS database be approved.

3          If approved, the changes recommended by the Subcommittee, will be included into the GIS database and become part of the Dunedin City Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2010.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Notes that the Subcommittee has considered feedback from consultation on the proposed changes to parking restrictions.

b)     Adopts the recommended minor changes, clarifications and corrections to the parking controls that are shown in the December 2021 update of the GIS database, https://tinyurl.com/ParkingJune2022.

c)     Notes that all parking restrictions previously approved by Council remain unchanged.

 

BACKGROUND

4          Traffic and parking restrictions are made under the Dunedin City Traffic and Parking Bylaw. Traffic and parking controls contribute to the objectives of the Dunedin Integrated Transport Strategy 2013, by supporting a safe, efficient and accessible transport network.

5          Council maintains a Geographic Information System map of traffic and parking restrictions which reflects all on-street parking restrictions that are implemented with markings and/or signs.

6          The Subcommittee has the delegation to make recommendations regarding traffic and parking restrictions to Council.

7          Recommended changes or clarifications to parking restrictions and corrections to the database are shown at https://tinyurl.com/ParkingJune2022 and detailed in Attachments A (TPC 30-Minor changes) and C (TPC 31-Clarifications and corrections).

Public consultation

8          Consultation on the recommended minor changes to parking restrictions included:

a)         Engagement with affected parties when parking changes to improve safety, efficiency or access were proposed.

b)        Engagement with the Otago Regional Council (ORC) when changes related to the operation of the bus network were proposed.

9          Officers consulted on proposed minor changes to parking restrictions with affected parties between March 2021 and April 2022. Letters with diagrams explaining the proposed changes were provided to property owners, residents and businesses impacted by the changes to give them the opportunity to comment on the proposal. A summary of the consultation undertaken with affected parties is shown in Attachment B (Consultation Summary-TPC 30).  

10        In each case, feedback was considered by officers. In some instances, modifications to the proposal were made before they were presented to the Subcommittee. The Subcommittee considered the final proposed changes on 14 June 2022.

DISCUSSION

Subcommittee findings

Minor changes

11        Minor changes to parking restrictions are detailed in Attachment A (TPC 30-Minor changes).

12        Minor changes of note presented to the Subcommittee are:

Case No. 6-Mosgiel Pool

13        The proposed changes at Eden Street and Gordon Road, are part of the construction of the new Mosgiel Pool. The changes include installing broken yellow lines at and near the intersection and relocating a bus stop on Gordon Road. These changes are required for the safe operation of the intersection which is located on a state highway.

14        In March 2021 a letter drop was sent to approximately 200 properties showing an initial design for the intersection with an estimated loss of 15 carparks. The feedback received from the consultation included 11 responses. Most responses commented on the design or signalisation of the intersection. Only one piece of feedback was opposed to the loss of parking. All feedback was responded to, and the Mosgiel Taieri-Community Board was updated in May 2021.

15        After the feedback was received, the design for the intersection was updated and it was determined that 24 car parks would need to be removed in order to provide sight lines for vehicles approaching the intersection, and a right turn bay for vehicles to enter the pool car park.

16        A further letter drop was sent to residents living nearby the site of the pool on 1 June 2022. Residents were shown the updated design for the intersection and advised that 24 car parks would be lost to support its construction. Staff have subsequently received two pieces of feedback opposing the loss of parking.

17        All of the properties affected by these changes have off street parking.

Case No. 11-Dowling Street restrictions

18        The parking restrictions on Dowling Street have been reviewed and all the paid 240-minute parks are proposed to be changed to paid 120-minute restriction. Some new unpaid short-term restrictions will also be introduced on the street. The decision to change the restrictions was made after officers met with several business owners that wanted higher parking turnover on the street.

Cases No. 31 to 36 - Dunedin Safer School Streets

19        Changes to parking restrictions as part of the Dunedin Safer School Streets project are included in this report. The project targeted seven schools (Grants Braes, Bradford School, Balmacewen Intermediate, Liberton Christian School, Pine Hill School, Opoho School and North East Valley School) for streetscape interventions that improve safety. Parking restrictions relating to these interventions are detailed in Attachment A (TPC-30 Changes). One of the parking changes, originally part of the Bradford School improvements, is not included in this report due to an updated agreement between the Transport team and new school management. A pick-up and drop-off area will instead be trialled before being considered for regulation.

Case No. 20-Magnet Street

20        Magnet Street is being resealed and one section of the cycleway is being moved alongside the railway fence. Eighteen (18) 240-minute parks and a boat/trailer parking area will be created on this street. Following feedback, the restriction will only operate during weekdays.

Changes related to bus stops

21        Six cases relate to bus stops with four of them improving entry and exit tapers to provide safer access for bus drivers and users.

Parking spaces-Losses and gains

22        The table below shows the net losses and gains due to the proposed parking changes:

Clarifications and corrections

23        Clarification of parking restrictions and corrections to the database are detailed in Attachment C (TPC 31-Clarifications and corrections). They do not change current parking restrictions, but include:

a)         Changes to markings or signs intended to clarify parking controls that are already in place. Changes may make existing markings or signs clearer or reinforce existing rules (for example installation of no-stopping lines to clarify that no vehicles may stop within one metre of a driveway or within six metres of a junction under the Land Transport (Road User) Rules 2004). These clarifications are considered necessary for access or safety reasons and are an exception to Council’s general approach not to mark anything that is currently enforceable under existing rules. 

b)        Corrections to the database which have been made to accurately reflect the parking restrictions that are on the ground.

OPTIONS

24        Three options are proposed. The recommended option is to proceed with the recommended changes to the GIS database. Option Two is return the changes to the Subcommittee for further consideration. Option Three is maintaining the status quo.

Option One – Recommends Council to approve the proposed changes to the parking controls database (Recommended Option)

Advantages

·        Improves safety, efficiency and access on the transport network.

·        Improves public transport infrastructure by providing bus stops to support bus services and enables buses to safely enter and exit bus stops.

Disadvantages

·        There are no identified disadvantages.

Option Two – Return the changes proposed back to the Subcommittee to reconsider and retain the existing parking controls database without amendment

Advantages

·        The subcommittee will be given more time to consider changes to parking restrictions proposed.

Disadvantages

·        The needs of residents and road users regarding parking restrictions will be delayed.

·        Improvement of safety or reduction of conflict points will be delayed.

Option Three – Do not accept the recommendations from Subcommittee and retain the existing parking controls database without amendment (Status Quo)

Advantages

·        There are no identified advantages.

Disadvantages

·        Does not improve efficiency and access to the transport network.

·        Does not improve safety or reduce conflict points.

·        Does not contribute to the Integrated Transport Strategy goals.

NEXT STEPS

25        If the recommended changes to the parking controls database are adopted by Council, the recommended changes to parking restrictions will be implemented through appropriate signs and road markings, and the restrictions will be enforced under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw.

DCC Submission - Exposure draft of amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater 2020

Department: Corporate Policy

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report seeks approval of the Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission (attachment A) on the exposure draft of amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater 2020.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Approves the DCC submission, with any amendments, to the Exposure draft of amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater 2020

b)     Authorises the Chief Executive to approve any minor editorial changes if required.

 

BACKGROUND

2          National Policy Statements have the purpose of stating objectives and policies for matters of national significance, while National Environmental Standards prescribe technical standards, methods or requirements. 

3          The National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (NPS-FM) and National Environmental Standard for Freshwater 2020 (NES-F) were both introduced in 2020. 

4          The NPS-FM aims to embed long-term change to restore the health and wellbeing of waterbodies, including wetlands.  The NES-F sets out the consenting pathways for certain activities in and around wetlands.

5          The exposure drafts on amendments to the NPS-FM and NES-F can be found online: Exposure draft of proposed changes to the NPS-FM and NES-F (including wetland regulations) - Ministry for the Environment - Citizen Space.

6          An earlier submission on these documents was approved by Council (CNL/2021/185) in October 2021.

7          The Ministry for the Environment (MfE) is seeking feedback on their drafted amendments. The drafted amendments were made in response to earlier consultation.  

8          Staff requested feedback from Councillors on the exposure drafts between 8 July and 15 July.

9          Submissions closed on 10 July 2022. MfE granted an extension to the DCC until 28 July. The DCC sent a draft placeholder submission to MfE on 8 July to enable MfE to consider the DCC’s submission, if approved.

DISCUSSION

 

10        A DCC submission has been prepared on the exposure draft of amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater 2020.

11        The DCC seeks in its submission:

a)         the ‘no practicable alternative test’ in clauses 3.22(1)(c)(iv) and 3.22(1)(f)(iii) of the NPS-FM be replaced with ‘best practicable location’ test; and

b)        a definition of urban development be added in the NPS-FM

c)         the proposed clause 3.22(1)(e) be removed from the NPS-FM. 

12        These positions reflect feedback from the Mayor, staff in 3 Waters, Waste and Environmental Services, Legal and City Development.

13        The NPS-FM and NES-F are part of a regulatory package to help protect wetlands from loss and degradation. This contributes to improving outcomes for the environmental wellbeing of Dunedin. Improved environmental outcomes support Goal 2 of Te Ao Turoa: Dunedin has a healthy environment.

14        The DCC submission balances the need for improved environmental outcomes with the impact of the NPS-FM and NES-F on necessary development for the city.

OPTIONS

Option One – Recommended Option – Approve the submission, with any amendments, on the exposure drafts of the NPS-FM and NES-F

15        Approve the draft DCC submission to MfE on the exposure drafts of the NPS-FM and NES-F, with any agreed amendments.

Advantages

·        Opportunity to raise concerns with MfE about the implementation of the NPS-FM and NES-F regarding natural wetlands and their impact on necessary development for the city.

·        Opportunity to publicly reiterate DCC’s commitment to improving environmental outcomes in Dunedin.

Disadvantages

·        There are no identified disadvantages for this option.

Option Two – Do not approve the submission

16        Do not approve the DCC submission to MfE on the exposure drafts of the NPS-FM and NES-F.

Advantages

·        There are no identified advantages for this option.

Disadvantages

·        Missed opportunity to raise concerns with MfE about the implementation of the NPS-FM and NES-F regarding natural wetlands and their impact on necessary development for the city.

·        Missed opportunity to publicly reiterate DCC’s commitment to improving environmental outcomes in Dunedin.

NEXT STEPS

17        If approved by the Council, staff will submit the DCC response by 28 July 2022, with any approved amendments.

Other strategic projects/policies/plans

Improved management of our wetlands will contribute to have positive environmental outcomes. Thresholds applying to wetland management should be appropriate to be consistent with necessary infrastructure and urban development being able to be assessed on their merits.  

Māori Impact Statement

In developing the Exposure draft of amendments to the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater 2020, the Ministry for the Environment has undertaken consultation with iwi through the Kahui Wai Māori advisory group. The draft amendments seek to acknowledge Te Mana o te Wai and strengthen iwi and hapū values for freshwater management. As such, this will have a beneficial impact for the health and wellbeing of water and local iwi and hapū relationships to ancestral waterways.

 

Article 2 of the Treaty of Waitangi guarantees Māori full exclusive and undisturbed possession of their Lands and Estates, Forests, Fisheries and other properties. The Crown may be more effectively meeting their obligations under the Treaty of Waitangi through sharing of governance arrangements and improved environmental outcomes for natural wetlands.

Sustainability

The NPS-FM and NES-F may have long-term implications on infrastructure, urban development and environmental sustainability.

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy

While the decision to submit has no implications on the LTP, the current NPS-FM and NES-F may make it more costly to provide necessary infrastructure and provide for urban growth.

Financial considerations

There are no known financial implications as a result of this submission.

Significance

The decision is considered to be of low significance when assessed against the Significance and Engagement Policy.

Engagement – external

Anderson Lloyd provided advice on the draft submission.

Engagement - internal

The draft was written by the Corporate Policy Team with input from staff across 3 Waters, Waste and Environmental Solutions, Legal and City Development.

Risks: Legal / Health and Safety etc.

There are no known risks.

Conflict of Interest

There are no known conflicts of interest.

Community Boards

Improved management of wetlands will be of interest to all members of the community, including those areas covered by Community Boards.

DCC Submission: Water Services Entities Bill

Department: 3 Waters

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report seeks the Council’s approval of a draft Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission (Attachment A) to Parliament’s Finance and Expenditure Select Committee on the Water Services Entities Bill.

2          Submissions closed on 22 July 2022. On 1 July 2022, the Mayor lodged a short ‘placeholder’ submission on behalf of the Council, stating that the DCC would like to make an oral submission on the Water Services Entities Bill. If the Council approves the DCC draft submission at the 26 July Council meeting, the submission will be considered by the Finance and Expenditure Committee alongside the ‘placeholder’ and oral submission.

 

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Approves, with any amendments, the draft DCC submission to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee on the Water Services Entities Bill.

b)     Authorises the Mayor (or his delegate) to speak to the submission.

c)     Authorises the Chief Executive to approve any minor editorial changes if required.

 

BACKGROUND

3          During August and September last year, the Minister of Local Government asked for feedback from local authorities on the Government’s Three Waters Reform Programme.

4          In September 2021, the DCC provided feedback to the Minister (Attachment B). The primary message to the Minister was the DCC wanted the Three Waters Reform Programme to be reset with a full exploration of options for future three waters service delivery arrangements. Council also asked for further work to be completed to reassess and clearly define the relationship between the Three Water Reform Programme and other major Government reform initiatives. Other feedback items included:

a)         Allow time for meaningful engagement with communities

b)        Council’s support for Ngāi Tahu participation in water services decision making

c)         Mechanisms to enable local influence in a new Three Waters service delivery model were needed

d)        Refinement of assumptions and analysis of financial impacts on projected household costs

e)        Support for existing Three Waters workforce and their development

f)         Ensure local decision making was maintained for urban growth planning and city development.

5          In October 2021 the Government announced that local government participation in the Three Waters Reform Programme would be mandatory. Soon after, the Government released an exposure draft of a Bill that would establish the proposed four new water services entities: the Water Services Entities Bill.

6          In response to feedback from local government, the Government established three working groups to advise on refinements of the Government’s reform proposal:

a)         Representation, Governance and Accountability Working Group

b)        Planning Technical Working Group

c)         Rural Supplies Technical Working Group

7          The Working Group on Representation, Governance and Accountability considered the exposure draft of the Water Services Entities Bill and released its report on 9 March 2022. The report made 47 recommendations to amend the reform proposal.

8          The Government considered these recommendations and agreed to progress almost all of them. These recommendations were incorporated into the Water Services Entities Bill.

Water Services Entities Bill

9          The Water Services Entities Bill (the Bill) is part of a suite of legislative changes required to give effect to the Three Waters Service Delivery Reform. Its purpose is to establish four publicly owned water services entities to deliver three waters services across New Zealand in place of local authorities.

10        The Bill does not apply to water services that are not delivered by local authorities, for example services delivered by small private rural suppliers and domestic self-suppliers.

11        The Bill’s provisions relate to:

a)         entity ownership and protections against privatisation

b)        entity governance, accountability and consumer engagement

c)         transitional arrangements.

12        The Bill does not include provisions relating to:

a)         the inter-relationship of new water services entities with the land-use planning system

b)        the transfer of assets and liabilities from councils to the new entities

c)         how properties that provide recreational and biodiversity values for the community will be protected if there are three waters assets within these properties

d)        the new entities’ pricing and charging arrangements

e)        economic regulation and consumer protection

f)         various amendments that will need to be made to other legislation.

The Government has said these matters will be addressed in future legislation.

13        The Bill was introduced to Parliament and had its First Reading on 9 June 2022. Parliament referred the Bill to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee, which has invited public submissions.

14        The Select Committee has a deadline of 11 November 2022 to consider submissions and release its report. The Government’s timeline intends for the Bill to be passed by the end of 2022. The entire Bill can be read on the New Zealand Legislation website: https://legislation.govt.nz/. Additional information from the Department of Internal Affairs regarding Three Waters Service Delivery Reform and the Bill is attached to this report as Attachment C.

DISCUSSION

15        The draft DCC submission states that the DCC opposes the Government’s proposed model for three waters service delivery and the process for undertaking the Three Waters Service Delivery Reform. The draft submission also raises issues with the Bill’s scope, which excludes core details about how the proposed service delivery model will be implemented.

16        The draft DCC submission recommends that establishment of a new three waters service delivery model through the Bill should be paused. The reason for a pause would be to provide time for:

a)         consideration of other service delivery options;

b)        incorporation of the entire three waters service delivery reform legislation into one Bill (as opposed to the proposed three bills) which would enable local government and communities to make submissions informed by the full package of relevant information; and

c)         more detailed consideration of the interfaces between the three waters service delivery reform and the resource management reform and local government review.

17        The draft submission also recommends changes to the Bill itself, should the Finance and Expenditure Committee recommend that the Bill continues to proceed through Parliament. The Council’s recommendations relate to:

a)         the objectives of the Water Services Entities set out in clause 11;

b)        the proposed governance and ownership structure of the Water Service Entities and the lack of a “local voice” in this governance arrangement;

c)         the protections against privatisation, joint arrangements, amalgamation and division of the Water Services Entities; and

d)        the transitional provisions.

18        A fundamental issue with the Government’s proposed model is entity ownership does not equal representation in the governance arrangements. This will result in a dilution of a local voice in the new system.

19        The draft DCC submission recommends that a smaller regional entity be considered for Otago and Southland if the establishment of a new three waters service delivery model is not paused. An Otago-Southland entity would better ensure local representation and would also be better placed to manage land use planning in a considered and meaningful way for local communities. This could be achieved while still delivering on central government three water service delivery reform objectives, including operational efficiencies and workforce development.

Proposed Alternative Model to Support Local Voice

20        The draft DCC submission states that a smaller, more localised scale of the new entity could deliver better local authority representation in the governance arrangements.

21        In late 2020, the 10 councils of Otago and Southland (both territorial authorities and regional councils) commissioned Morrison Low to assess council three waters infrastructure and services across Otago and Southland. The purpose of the assessment was to inform discussions within the two regions about options and future decisions relating to the Government’s reform programme.

22        Morrison Low concluded there are expected to be financial efficiencies and benefits from a combined Otago-Southland regional entity.

23        Morrison Low assessed the financial impacts of three potential future scenarios for three waters service delivery in Dunedin which were:

a) Continue participation in Government-led service delivery reforms

b) ‘Opt out’ of Government-led service delivery reforms: establish Otago-Southland entity

c) ‘Opt out’ of Government-led service delivery reforms: continue Dunedin City Council delivery model.

24        The three potential future scenarios and the corresponding water services household costs by 2031 are illustrated in the table below where the Morrison Low costs are compared to the Water Industry Commission for Scotland (WICS – the agency the Government commissioned to provide analysis for Three Waters Service Delivery reform) costs.

25        The Morrison Low analysis of the modelling done by WICS found the scale of the financial impact on the existing model (i.e., the status quo) had used a number of assumptions that could lead to inflated financial benefits of the proposed four entity model.

 

 

 

 

Water Services Costs per Household by 2031

 

Entity D – South Island/Ngāi Tahu takiwā

Otago – Southland Model

DCC (Status Quo)

Morrison Low report

$1,700 – 1,900

$2,000

$2,200

 

Water Industry Commission for Scotland (WICS)

$1,543

Not Assessed

$3,843

 

 

26        Morrison Low concluded that while the projected household charges from the WICS analysis for the four entities may be the subject of some contention, it was likely household costs would need to increase under all models.

27        The Otago-Southland model’s projected household costs are not significantly more expensive than the projected cost per household for Entity D by 2031.

28        Morrison Low’s financial modelling suggests the Otago-Southland model could provide affordable services for customers as a viable alternative to the Government’s proposed Entity D. The result of this would also enable more of a local voice and representation for the delivery of three waters in a new smaller entity, as well as creating a smoother transition merging the territorial authorities of the Otago and Southland region, rather than 22 territorial authorities across the Ngāi Tahu takiwā.

OPTIONS

Option One – submit on the Water Services Entities Bill (Recommended Option)

 

29        Approve, with any suggested amendments, the submission to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee on the Water Services Entities Bill.

Advantages

·        Opportunity to provide further feedback on three waters service delivery reform, including DCC’s preferred Otago-Southland model.

·        Opportunity to recommend changes to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee on particular provisions of the Water Services Entities Bill.

Disadvantages

·        There are no identified disadvantages.

Option Two – do not submit on the Water Services Entities Bill

30        Do not approve the draft submission.

Advantages

·        There are no identified advantages for this option.

Disadvantages

·        Missed opportunity to provide further feedback on three waters service delivery reform, including DCC’s preferred Otago-Southland model.

·        Missed opportunity to recommend changes to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee regarding the provisions of the Water Services Entities Bill.

NEXT STEPS

31        If the Council approves the draft DCC submission, it will be sent to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee.

32        Approval is sought for the Chief Executive to make minor editorial changes.

Submission on the Electoral (MĀORI Electoral Option) Legislation Bill

Department: Corporate Policy

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report seeks Council approval for a Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission (Attachment A) on the Electoral (Māori Electoral Option) Legislation Bill (the Bill).

2          Submissions close on 30 July 2022. If the Council approves the DCC draft submission at the 26 July Council meeting, the submission will be considered by a Central Government Select Committee process led by the Justice Committee.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Approves the DCC submission, with any amendments, on the Electoral (Māori Electoral Option) Legislation Bill.

b)     Authorises the Mayor or his delegate to speak to the DCC submission at the hearings.

c)     Authorises the Chief Executive to make any minor editorial changes to the submission.

 

BACKGROUND

3          The Local Electoral (Māori Wards and Māori Constituencies) Amendment Act 2021 enabled the creation of Māori wards at the local government level. This law change removed the ability for communities to initiate a poll to overturn a council’s decision on establishing Māori wards.

4          Since this legislative change many councils have established Māori wards, and there will be 35 councils that will have Māori wards at the 2022 local elections. This is a 1,066% increase from the three councils that had Māori wards before the law change.

5          The Bill is part of a broader programme to update New Zealand’s electoral framework. In October last year, the Government announced an independent review of electoral law to ensure the rules remain fit for purpose and meet the needs of the next generation of voters.

6          The Bill responds to concerns raised in recent years about constraints on the right of Māori voters to choose between the general roll and the Māori roll. It provides Māori with flexibility and promotes participation in New Zealand's democracy.

7          The Māori electoral option is currently a four-month period that occurs every four to six years where some voters can choose to move between the general and Māori electoral rolls. It is the only time when Māori voters can change their roll choice.

8          Targeted consultation was undertaken by the Ministry of Justice in mid-2021, and the overwhelming response was that the current option creates barriers to participation in electoral processes. This is because Māori are unable to change the electoral roll, they are on to reflect their electoral preferences leading up to an election.

9          The last Māori electoral option was in 2018, and the next one is due to be in 2024. This timing means that without changes being made, Māori will be locked into their roll choice for two general elections, the first in 2020 and then for the upcoming 2023 general election.

DISCUSSION

10        The Bill reduces the barriers that exist when it comes to choosing whether a person wants to be on the general electoral roll or the Māori electoral roll. It amends the Electoral Act 1993 to implement a new continuous option model to allow Māori voters to freely exercise their right to choose their preferred electoral roll.

11        The change does not introduce any electoral advantages to Māori. It allows Māori to more easily exercise their vote on the electoral roll which reflects their roll preference.

12        The change to a continuous model option has important consequences for how the Māori electoral population, and, by extension, the number of Māori seats, are calculated. The bill amends the Electoral Act to decouple the calculation from the Māori option and aligns it with the census, but otherwise substantively mirrors the current methodology set out in the Electoral Act.

13        If this Bill is passed, it is expected that the new process will be in place for the 2023 General Election.

OPTIONS

Option One – Recommended Option

 

14        Approve the draft DCC submission to the Justice Committee on the options, with any agreed amendments.

Advantages

·        Opportunity to show support for the proposed changes to the Māori Electoral Option.

·        Opportunity to show support for voters of Māori descent to more fully engage in the democratic and electoral process.

·        Opportunity to reiterate DCC’s aim to ensure that all Dunedin residents are fully connected, engaged and equal citizens.

·        Opportunity to reiterate DCC’s commitment to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi.

Disadvantages

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

Arts and Culture Strategy

3 Waters Strategy

Spatial Plan

Integrated Transport Strategy

Parks and Recreation Strategy

Other strategic projects/policies/plans

 

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.

LGNZ Annual General Meeting Remits

Department: Civic

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          The Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) is to be held on Thursday 28 July 2022 via zoom. 

2          At that meeting, consideration will be given to six remits that have been submitted by local authorities.  The remits have received either formal support from councils or support from at least one zone or sector group meeting prior to being submitted, and have been screened through the LGNZ Remits Screening Policy.  The DCC delegate will vote on DCC’s behalf on each. 

3          The purpose of this report is to present the remits that are going to the LGNZ AGM. It asks that Council give consideration as to whether it wishes to give pre-AGM direction to the voting delegate about DCC’s support or otherwise of any of these remits. 

4          As this is an administrative report there is no summary of considerations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Decides whether Council wishes to determine DCC’s voting position for the remits, for action by the delegate attending the Annual General Meeting.

 

BACKGROUND

5          LGNZ has a Remits Screening Policy which determines which remits submitted by local authorities will be considered at the LGNZ AGM.  This year, six remits have been accepted for consideration.  Attachment A provides the details of each of those remits.

6          Mayor Hawkins, Cr Garey and Cr Staynes will attend the AGM on behalf of Council.  The Mayor will be the voting delegate on behalf of the Council.

DISCUSSION

7          The DCC delegates attending the LGNZ AGM will have the opportunity to vote on the remits.  So that the position of Council can be represented, consideration needs to be given to each remit, and a decision made for each on whether council supports the remit proposed.  Council may decide that it does not have a position on a remit, and that the delegate may make a decision at the meeting following discussion on the particular matter.  It is important to note that councils speak to their remits, so delegates at the AGM may be in a more informed voting position than councillors are prior to the AGM.

8          A summary of each of the remits to be considered at the LGNZ AGM is presented below. 

Remit 1 – Central government funding for public transport

That LGNZ:

·    Calls on central government to fully and permanently fund free public transport for students, community service card holders, under 25’s, and total mobility card holders and their support people.

·    Joins the Aotearoa Collective for Public Transport Equity (ACPTE) in support of the Free Fares campaign.

Proposed by:        Porirua City Council

Supported by:      Metro Sector

 

Remit 2 – Review of Government transport funding

That LGNZ calls for an independent review into the way in which government, through Waka Kotahi, fund transport investments in Aotearoa.  This includes funding of new developments and maintenance programmes.

Proposed by:           New Plymouth District Council

Supported by:         Rangitīkei District Council, Hauraki District Council, South Taranaki District Council, Western Bay of Plenty District Council, Stratford District Council and Hamilton City Council

 

Remit 3 – Illegal street racing

That LGNZ implement a nation-wide working group of subject matter experts with the objective of formulating an action plan to effectively enforce the Land Transport Act 1998 and work with police to tackle illegal street racing and the antisocial behaviour associated with it.

Proposed by:           Hutt City Council

Supported by:         Upper Hutt City Council, Masterton District Council, Carterton District Council, Tauranga City Council, Hamilton City Council and Porirua City Council.

 

Remit 4 – Bylaw infringements

That LGNZ lobby Government to implement an infringement notice regime for general bylaws.

Proposed by:           Auckland Council

Supported by:         Auckland Zone

 

Remit 5 – Density and proximity of vaping retailers

That LGNZ requests the Government to:

·    Restrict the sale of vaping products to R18 specialist vape stores.

·    Develop proximity limits to prevent the clustering of vaping product retailers and protect young people.

Proposed by:           Kaipara District Council

Supported by:         Zone 1

 

Remit 6 – Polling LGNZ members

That LGNZ adopt a policy to poll the LGNZ membership on any significant issue affecting local government in Aotearoa, prior to making that decision. LGNZ should develop a policy in conjunction with the membership that sets out the threshold for polling the membership. In the interim, the decision about the threshold for polling rests with National Council.

Proposed by:           New Plymouth District Council

Supported by:         Taupō District Council, South Taranaki District Council, Thames-Coromandel District Council, Stratford District Council, Taranaki Regional Council, Central Otago District Council.

OPTIONS

9          There are two options, either Council gives direction on the DCC’s voting position for the remits or not.

Option One – Council gives direction to voting delegate

 

Advantages

·        The voting delegate is aware of the preference of Council.

Disadvantages

·         Council gives direction without being fully informed of the discussion that will take place at the AGM about the remits.

Option Two – decisions on the voting position on the remits remains with the voting delegate

Advantages

·        The voting delegate is privy to additional information and debate at the AGM.

Disadvantages

·        The voting delegate is not aware of the preference of Council regarding the remits.

NEXT STEPS

10        The DCC delegate at the LGNZ AGM will vote on the remits in accordance with the decisions made.

Proposed Event Road Closure for August 2022

Department: Transport

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          The DCC has received a temporary road closure application for the University of Otago Graduation Parade (Graduation Parade).

2          This report recommends that Council approves the temporary closure of the affected roads.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a)     Resolves to close the roads detailed below (pursuant to Section 319, Section 342, and Schedule 10 clause 11(e) of the Local Government Act 1974) for the Graduation Parade:

                         Date:  Saturday 20 August 2022 (parade beginning 11.30 am)

 

                         Time and affected roads:

                         10:00am until 1:00pm:

·        Great King Street between Frederick Street and Albany Street.

 

                         11:15am until 12:15pm:

·       Frederick Street between Great King Street and George Street

·       George Street between Frederick Street and St Andrew Street

·       St Andrew Street between George Street and Filleul Street

·       Filleul Street between St Andrew Street and Moray Place

·       Moray Place between George Street and Filleul Street.

 

                         Approximately 10:45am until parade has cleared:

·       Moray Place between Upper Stuart Street and Filleul Street.

 

 

BACKGROUND

3          Current modelling indicates that graduation events bring an economic benefit of between $1.35 - $1.8m to Dunedin. 

4          This event supports Council’s 10 Year Plan goal of a successful city with a diverse, innovative and productive economy and a hub for skill and talent.  It also contributes to the Festival and Events Plan 2018-2023.

5          The area proposed to be used for this event is legal road and can therefore be temporarily closed to normal traffic if statutory temporary road closure procedures are followed. The procedures are set out in Section 319 of the LGA 1974  and give Council the power to stop or close any road (or part of a road) within the parameters of Section 342 and Schedule 10 of the LGA 1974 (Schedule 10 is included as attachment A).

6          These procedures include:

·        consultation with Waka Kotahi (New Zealand Transport Agency) and the Police

·        public notice must be given of the proposal to close any road (or part of a road), and of a decision to close the road

·        Council being satisfied that traffic is not likely to be unreasonably impeded.

7          A resolution of Council is required where a proposal to temporarily close a road relates to public functions.

DISCUSSION

Consultation and Notification

8          The Police and Waka Kotahi have no objections to the proposed road closures.

9          On Saturday 18 June 2022, the proposed temporary road closures (Attachment B) were advertised in the Otago Daily Times with a deadline for feedback set for 25 June 2022.  No objections were received. 

10        Council is required to give public notice of its decision. This notice will be published after this meeting and prior to the event, if approved.

11        The event organisers contacted those considered affected prior to submitting their application, and no objections were received.  

12        Schedule 10 section 11(e) states a road cannot be closed more than 31 days in the aggregate in any one year.  This limit will not be exceeded by the approval of the proposed temporary road closures.

 

Traffic Impacts 

13        This event has been held in prior years without causing unreasonable delays to the travelling public. The parade route has changed slightly due to works for the Central City Upgrade, however this route has been used during three recent graduation parades in May this year.  Emergency Services and Public transport services will be managed through the temporary traffic management process.

14        The temporary traffic management plan process ensures that other issues such as temporary relocation of certain parking (e.g., taxi, mobility and AVO) are managed .

OPTIONS

15        Any amendment to this report’s recommendations cannot be implemented without further consultation with the affected parties, Waka Kotahi, the Police, and verifying that traffic impacts are acceptable.

Option One – Recommended Option

 

16        That the Council closes the sections of roads as recommended in this report. 

Advantages

·        The roads will be able to be closed and the event will be able to proceed.

·        The closure will assist in realising the economic, social, and cultural benefits associated with this event.

Disadvantages

·        There will be temporary loss of vehicular access through the closed areas.  However, there are detours available, and safety can be assured using temporary traffic management.

Option Two – Status Quo

17        That the Council decides not to close the roads in question.

Advantages

·        There would be no detour required for travelling public, and the road would be able to be used as normal.

Disadvantages

·        The event would not be able to go ahead, and the benefits of the event would be lost.

NEXT STEPS

18        Should the resolution be made to temporarily close the roads, Council staff will accept the temporary traffic management plan and notify the public of the closures.
