Submission on the Resource Management (Freshwater and Other Matters) Amendment Bill
Department: Corporate Policy and City Development
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 This report seeks approval of a draft Dunedin City Council (DCC) submission to the Government’s Primary Production Committee on the Resource Management (Freshwater and Other Matters) Amendment Bill (the Bill). The draft DCC submission is attached as Attachment A.
2 The DCC previously submitted on the “Natural and Built Environments Bill” and the “Spatial Planning Bill” in February 2023, which were passed into law in August 2023. These pieces of legislation have subsequently been repealed as part of the Government’s intention to reform resource management in Aotearoa New Zealand.
4 Submissions on the Bill close on 30 June 2024.
That the Council:
a) Approves the DCC submission, with any amendments, on “the Resource Management (Freshwater and Other Matters) Amendment Bill”.
b) Authorises the Mayor or his delegate to speak to the submission at hearings.
a) Authorises the Chief Executive to make any minor editorial amendments to the submission.
BACKGROUND
5 The proposals in the Bill are:
· excluding the hierarchy of obligations in Te Mana o te Wai within the National Policy Statement for Freshwater Management 2020 (NPSFM) from resource consent applications and resource consent decision-making processes
· removing additional controls for coal mining consents, aligning consent pathways with those for other mineral extraction activities in or around wetlands and Significant Natural Areas (SNAs)
· suspending requirements for councils to identify, and include in plans, new SNAs under the National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB) 2023 for three years
· extending the time for councils to identify new SNAs under the NPSIB until December 2030
· expediting the creation or amendment of national direction under the Resource Management Act (RMA).
6 Two further proposals in the Bill — removing requirements relating to intensive winter grazing and removing low slope land requirements regulating the access of farm animals to water bodies — relate to areas managed by Regional Councils. The DCC understands that the Otago Regional Council will submit on these matters.
DISCUSSION
Freshwater Management and Te Mana o te Wai
7 Under the RMA, the NPSFM 2020 primarily takes effect through objectives, policies, and rules in regional policy statements and plans, and is also relevant to resource consenting.
8 Resource consent applicants must assess (in applications for resource consent), and consent authorities must have regard to (when considering an application for resource consent), any relevant provisions of a national policy statement.
Te Mana o te Wai
9 Te Mana o te Wai has been included in the NPSFM since 2014. Te Mana o te Wai refers to the vital importance of water. When managing freshwater, it ensures the health and well-being of the water is protected and human health needs are provided for before enabling other uses of water.
10 Managing freshwater in a way that prioritises the hierarchy of obligations is the objective of the NPSFM 2020. Clause 2 of the NPSFM 2020 outlines the hierarchy of obligations as:
(1) The objective of this National Policy Statement is to ensure that natural and physical resources are managed in a way that prioritises:
(a) first, the health and well-being of water bodies and freshwater ecosystems
(b) second, the health needs of people (such as drinking water)
(c) third, the ability of people and communities to provide for their social, economic, and cultural well-being, now and in the future.
11 The Bill precludes decision-makers and applicants from considering, or providing reports on, alignment with the hierarchy of obligations in the NPSFM 2020, as detailed in Clause 1.3(5) and Clause 2 (paragraphs 13 and 14 above). Regional councils will remain obligated to give effect to the NPSFM 2020 (including the hierarchy of obligations) through their policy statements and plans.
12 The Cabinet has agreed that the NPSFM 2020 be replaced ‘to better reflect the interests of all water users.’ As yet, there have been no timeframes given for the introduction of a replacement statement or related consultations.
Aligning the Consenting Pathway for Coal Mining
13 In July 2020, the DCC submitted on the Exposure Draft of Proposed Changes to the NPSFM and National Environmental Standards for Freshwater (NES-F). In its submission, the DCC stated that it “does not support the creation of discretionary consenting pathways for mines within natural inland wetlands.”
14 The NPSFM 2020, NES-F, and NPSIB 2023 contain strong protections for wetlands and SNAs, but also provide specific consent pathways for mineral extraction activities that have adverse effects on wetlands or SNAs. The current pathway for coal mining has additional controls compared to other mineral extraction activities. The consent pathway is limited to the operation and expansion of existing coal mines. For thermal coal extraction, this consent pathway ceases on 31 December 2030.
15 The Bill aligns the resource consent pathway for coal mining with other mineral extraction activities under the NPSIB 2023, NPSFM 2020, and NES-F, and extends the consenting pathway for coal mines to new coal mines and removes the sunset clause on consent pathways for thermal coal.
Indigenous Biosecurity and Significant Natural Areas
16 Ōtepoti Dunedin covers a large geographic area and contains a diverse range of landscapes and ecosystems, with a vast diversity of indigenous flora and fauna within these areas, some of which are rare species endemic to Ōtepoti Dunedin. The cultural, spiritual, historic and traditional relationship that Kāi Tahu ki Otago has with indigenous species is recognised in the Ngāi Tahu Claim Settlement Act 1998.
17 A Biodiversity Strategy for Dunedin City has been in place since 2007, which includes a collaborative approach with Kāi Tahu for biodiversity management. In October 2019, the DCC submitted to the Department of Conservation in support of the development of Te Koiroa o te Koiroa — A Biodiversity Strategy for New Zealand.
18 The DCC submitted, in overall support, to the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) on the draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB) in February 2020. The NPSIB 2023 directs local authorities on how to discharge RMA requirements regarding indigenous biodiversity.
19 The Cabinet has agreed that the NPSIB 2023 be amended or replaced. As yet, there have been no timeframes given for the introduction of a replacement statement or related consultations.
Significant Natural Areas: Changes to requirements and timeframes
20 The RMA requires protection of areas of significant indigenous vegetation and significant habitats of indigenous fauna, known as Significant Natural Areas (SNAs). The NPSIB 2023 provides a consistent framework and assessment criteria for councils to identify and include SNAs within their policy statements and plans, and to manage the effects of development on SNAs. It also specifies time frames for those actions.
21 The Bill suspends NPSIB 2023 requirements for councils to identify and notify new SNAs using the NPSIB 2023 assessment criteria and principles for three years. This suspension does not affect NPSIB 2023 obligations on councils for SNAs already existing in policy statements, proposed policy statements, plans, proposed plans, or plan changes before the commencement of this Bill.
22 The Bill also amends timing provisions within the NPSIB 2023 for when local authorities must publicly notify any policy statement or plan or changes necessary to give effect to NPSIB 2023 provisions about SNAs except indigenous biodiversity outside an SNA. The date is extended to 31 December 2030.
23 The Bill clarifies that it does not affect councils’ existing obligations under the RMA for indigenous biodiversity which includes the requirement to recognise and provide for the protection of SNAs. The three-year suspension period for the implementation of new SNAs will allow time for a review of the operation of SNAs more broadly.
Single Process for National Directions
24 National Direction provides national resource management policies and standards to support local government policy development and decision-making under the RMA. It comprises:
· national policy statements
· national environmental standards
· national planning standards
· Section 360 regulations under the RMA which generally address detailed or technical matters and those which require frequent alterations or updating.
25 The Bill removes the option of a Board of Inquiry process to provide a clear default process for preparing a national direction. It also allows the Minister to make the following amendments to national policy statements and to national environmental and planning standards:
· align with a New Zealand standard
· implement New Zealand’s international obligations
· give effect to an emission reduction plan or national adaptation plan
· remove provisions in a national environmental standard that are no longer required because of changes to legislation.
26 The Bill amends sections 32 and 32AA of the RMA so that the evaluation requirements in those sections do not apply to national direction standards. The Bill includes a new section 32AB to provide requirements for evaluation of national direction proposals. An evaluation of a national direction proposal must consider the effectiveness of the proposal, the impact on the environment and the economy, and reasonably practicable alternatives. A further clause consequentially amends section 32A, which provides for consequences for failure to carry out an evaluation.
The DCC Submission
27 The draft DCC submission includes a number of concerns in regard to the implications of the Bill, including the following.
· Lack of certainty that the hierarchy of obligations for Te Mana o te Wai will remain in the Proposed Otago Regional Policy Statement (PORPS).
· Excluding the hierarchy of obligations from resource consent application and resource consent-decision making processes could have adverse impacts on the health of freshwater and associated environmental values, Mana Whenua values, and drinking water supply.
· Emissions from coal use contribute to climate change, risk overshooting emissions budgets and obligations, and produce particulate emissions harmful to human health.
· Ambiguity surrounding the status of existing council plan provisions for SNAs may generate confusion for local authorities implementing their own plan requirements.
· In some instances, Council may have to implement changes which may be unfeasible, but that Council has not been consulted on.
· Lack of clarity within the Bill as to whether councils can continue to utilise existing district plan provisions to identify and protect SNAs.
· The amendments proposed regarding ‘National Directions’ and their potential relationship with the Fast-track Approvals legislation.
28 The draft DCC submission supports:
· the removal of redundant provisions from the RMA and the retention of a process that enables public and Council participation in the preparation or amendment of national directions
· changes being made to national direction that align with a New Zealand Standard, and removal of provisions that are no longer required because of changes to legislation, without the need to go through the s46(4) RMA process
· the proposed change to speed up the process of preparation or amendment of a national direction
· the proposed inclusion of s32AB into the RMA to enable a more flexible and less onerous evaluation of national directions.

SUMMARY OF CONSIDERATIONS
|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fit with purpose of Local Government This decision promotes the environmental, economic, social, and cultural well-being of communities in the present and for the future. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fit with strategic framework
There is also a strategic fit with the Zero Carbon Policy, Te Taki Haruru – Māori Strategic Framework, Biodiversity Strategy, and the Dunedin Future Development Strategy 2024-2054. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Māori Impact Statement The Bill is likely to impact Māori in Ōtepoti Dunedin, particularly mana whenua, in regard to the management of Freshwater and Indigenous Biodiversity. The cultural, spiritual, historic and traditional relationship that mana whenua have with indigenous species is recognised in the Ngāi Tahu Claim Settlement Act 1998.
The NPS-FM 2020 intends for takata whenua to be involved in the management of freshwater (including decision-making processes). Giving effect to Te Mana o te Wai requires local authorities to actively involve takata whenua (to the extent they wish to be involved) in freshwater management.
The NPS-IB 2023 includes similar intentions for takata whenua to partner in the management of Indigenous Biodiversity, and also requires local authorities to work in partnership (which includes acting in good faith) with takata whenua and owners of specified Māori land.
The proposals in the Bill also have the potential to detract from principle, visions, and goals in DCC strategic documents, plans, and policies including the Biodiversity Strategy and the Zero Carbon Policy.
Lastly, the Bill diminishes the DCC’s ability to fully utilise Te Taki Haruru – which is the DCC’s commitment to the Treaty of Waitangi. It limits the ability for the DCC to work with mana whenua and Māori in Ōtepoti Dunedin across all four principles and values environmentally, as well as further impacting the principles of Auora and Autaketake in an environmental, cultural, and social capacity.

||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Sustainability Proposals in the Bill have potential implications for sustainability, particularly for environmental resilience and protecting indigenous biodiversity in Ōtepoti Dunedin, and the DCC’s commitment to its Zero Carbon Policy |

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy There are no implications for current levels of service and/or performance measures. |

Financial Report - Period ended 30 April 2024
Department: Finance
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 This report provides the financial results for the period ended 30 April 2024 and the financial position as at that date. The table below provides a financial overview.
2 As this is an administrative report only, there are no options or Summary of Considerations.
That the Council:
a) Notes the Financial Performance for the period ended 30 April 2024 and the Financial Position as at that date.
BACKGROUND
3 This report provides the financial statements for the period ended 30 April 2024. It includes reports on financial performance, financial position, cashflows and capital expenditure. Summary information is provided in the body of this report with detailed results attached. The operating result is also shown by group, including analysis by revenue and expenditure type.
DISCUSSION
4 This report includes a high-level summary of the financial information to 30 April 2024. Please refer to Attachment I for the detailed financial update.
Statement of Financial Performance
5 Revenue was $311.289 million for the year or $10.952 million greater than budget.
6 External revenue was favourable $3.036 million mainly due to Waste and Environmental Services revenue being greater than budget due to an increase in waste volume entering the Green Island Landfill. Waste levy revenue from the Ministry for the Environment was also greater than budgeted. These favourable variances were offset by lower-than-expected revenue from the Parking, Property and Building Services activities.
7 Grants revenue was favourable $5.139 million due to $6.503 million of additional roading funding reflecting a higher level of maintenance and capital delivery. This was offset by unfavourable variances due to the timing of revenue grants relating to the FIFA Women’s World Cup and the new kerbside bins.
8 Expenditure was $347.967 million for the year to date, or $7.902 million greater than budget.
9 Operational expenditure was greater than expected due to additional Transport and Three Waters maintenance expenditure and costs to meet consent conditions for landfills.
10 These unfavourable variances were partially offset by savings in interest and depreciation costs.
11 The volatility of world markets continues to impact the performance of the Waipori Fund. Following positive results in the previous five months, both equities and fixed interest investments saw a decrease in value during April.
Statement of Financial Position
12 Capital expenditure was $175.174 million or 103% of budget. Expenditure on the Retail Quarter upgrade was ahead of budget reflecting the project being ahead of the original programme for both the central carriageway and enabling works. The result reflects the settlement of the purchase of the Forbury Park property. This expenditure is offset by an underspend in Parks and Recreation.
OPTIONS
13 As this is an administrative report only, there are no options provided.
NEXT STEPS
14 Financial Result Reports continue be presented to future meetings of either the Finance and Council Controlled Organisation Committee or Council.

BACKGROUND
3 Council’s Dunedin Festival and Events Plan supports the goal of a successful city with a diverse, innovative, and productive economy and a hub for skill and talent.
4 The areas proposed to be used for these events are legal roads 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).
5 These procedures include:
· Consultation with the New Zealand Transport Authority Waka Kotahi and the Police.
· Public notice being given of the proposal to close any road (or part of a road), and public notice of a decision to close the road.
· Council being satisfied that traffic is not likely to be unreasonably impeded.
6 A resolution of Council is required where a proposal to temporarily close a road relates to public functions.
7 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.
DISCUSSION
Consultation and Notification
8 The Police and the New Zealand Transport Authority Waka Kotahi have no objections to the proposed road closures.
9 On Saturday 18 May 2024, the proposed temporary road closures were advertised in the Otago Daily Times (Attachment B) with a deadline for feedback.
10 The event organisers contacted those considered affected prior to submitting their application, and no objections were received.
11 Schedule 10 clause 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
12 The event locations of these events have had identical road closures for the same, or similar event(s) in prior years without causing unreasonable delays to the travelling public.
13 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 Authorised Vehicles Only) are managed.
OPTIONS
16 Note any amendment to this report’s recommendations cannot be implemented without further consultation with the affected parties, NZTA (Waka Kotahi), the Police, and verifying that traffic impacts are acceptable.
Option One – Recommended Option
17 That the Council closes the sections of road as recommended in this report.
Advantages
· Roads can be closed, and the event will be able to proceed.
· The closures will assist in realising the economic, social, and cultural benefits associated with the events.
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
18 That the Council decides not to close the roads in question.
Advantages
· There would be no detour required for the travelling public, and the roads would be able to be used as normal.
Disadvantages
· The events would not be able to go ahead, and the benefits of the events would be lost.
NEXT STEPS
19 Should the resolution be made to temporarily close the roads, Council staff will accept the temporary traffic management plans that have been received for the events and notify the public of the closures.

Adoption of the Annual Plan 2024/25
Department: Civic and Finance
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1 This report recommends the adoption of the Annual Plan 2024/25 (Annual Plan) and approval of matters associated with the Annual Plan. A copy of the Annual Plan is at Attachment A.
That the Council:
a) Notes the matters in section 100(2) of the Local Government Act 2002 being:
i) The estimated expenses of achieving and maintaining the predicted levels of service provision set out in the 10 year plan 2021-31, including the estimated expenses associated with maintaining the service capacity and integrity of assets throughout their useful life; and
ii) The projected revenue available to fund the estimated expenses associated with maintaining the service capacity and integrity of assets throughout their useful life; and
iii) The equitable allocation of responsibility for funding the provision and maintenance of assets and facilities throughout their useful life; and
iv) Council’s funding and financial policies including the Revenue and Financing Policy, Treasury Risk Management Policy, and Development Contributions Policy.
b) Agrees that, having had regards to the matters in paragraph (a) above, it is financially prudent for Council to set for the 2024/25 financial year, projected operating revenues at a level that will not meet projected operating expenses.
c) Notes in accordance with section 80 of the Local Government Act 2002 that:
i) The decision to not fully fund the increase in depreciation, including 3 Waters, is inconsistent with Council’s Revenue and Financing Policy and Financial Strategy; and
ii) The decision to increase rates by 17.5% is inconsistent with the Financial Strategy; and
iii) The inconsistency in depreciation arises from the revaluation of assets, and the need to consider affordability of fully funding depreciation; and
iv) The inconsistency in the rate increase arises from increased costs and increased funding of depreciation; and
v) The Revenue and Financing Policy and the Financial Strategy will be reviewed as part of the development of the 9 year plan 2025-34.
d) Adopts the Annual Plan 2024/25.
e) Authorises the Chief Executive to make any minor editorial changes resulting from quality checks prior to the final printing of the Annual Plan 2024/25 document.
f) Authorises the Chief Executive to drawdown debt up to total debt of $735 million in the 2024/25 year.
BACKGROUND
2 Following the enactment of the Water Services Acts Repeal Act (Repeal Act) on 16 February 2024, at its meeting on 27 February, Council approved taking up the option of preparing an enhanced 2024/25 Annual Plan for community consultation, rather than preparing a 10 year plan 2024-34.
3 This decision was made following consideration of factors such as the changing legislative environment (both recent and signalled), and our need for more information that will allow us to prepare a more robust and informed 9 year plan.
4 The Repeal Act provides that an enhanced Annual Plan is to include information additional to the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) requirements for an Annual Plan. The additional information includes financial statements and statement of service performance information for each group activity. This information has been included in the 2024/25 Annual Plan document at Attachment A.
5 The Annual Plan provides an update of year 4 of the 10 year plan 2021-31. The draft Annual Plan was consulted on, with the engagement period running between 28 March to 24 April 2024, and between 8 May to 15 May 2024. The Council met in May 2024 to hear submissions, deliberate, and make final decisions on the draft 2024/25 budgets.
DISCUSSION
6 The Annual Plan reflects the resolutions made by the Council during its meetings in March and May 2024. The rates increase is 17.5%.
7 Since the council deliberation meetings in May 2024 there have been minor reallocations, with no overall impact on rates or the net deficit position. The net effect is $85k decrease in revenue with an associated $85k decrease in expenditure. There was net reclassification of $1.021 million of grants revenue to other revenue.
8 The Annual Plan 2024/25 sets projected operating revenues at a level that will not meet projected operating expenses. Although councils should have a balanced budget under section 100(1) of the LGA, Council may set an unbalanced budget under section 100(2) of the LGA, where Council considers that it is financially prudent to do so.
9 Depreciation expense has increased by $36.569 million compared to year 4 of the 10 year plan 2021-31. This is mainly due to reticulation assets within 3 Waters. Previously the DCC valued its 3 Waters assets based on historical replacement costs indexed annually to reflect the cost/valuation for accounting purposes. Since the June 2022 financial year, it was concluded that this methodology was no longer appropriate, and a methodology based on current replacement cost was applied. This change in methodology has seen an increase in cost/valuation for accounting purposes and comes with an increased level of depreciation.
10 The rates increase for 2024/25 is 17.5% which is higher than the 6.0% provided for in year 4 of the 10 year plan. It is also higher than the Financial Strategy rate limit of 6.5%. This increase provides for the new 4 bin kerbside waste collection service and maintains our current level of service, reflecting the rate of inflation is higher than what was forecasted in the 10 year plan 2021-31.
11 As part of the development of the 9 year plan 2025–34, the review of both the Financial Strategy and the Revenue and Financing Policy will take into consideration the inconsistencies that have arisen through the decision to not fully fund the increase in depreciation.
12 This provides a pragmatic balance between managing the pressures on current ratepayers and ensuring the Council remains financially sustainable into the future, whereby the actions of today do not impact unfairly on ratepayers in the future. Funding the operating deficit would mean a rates increase of 32%.
13 As discussed to Council at its meeting held on 28 May 2024, a report to Council regarding Better Off Funding will be provided in July 2024. In the meantime, there will be no further commitments from the fund until Council provides their direction on funding allocation.
14 The financial statements are extrapolated from the 2022/23 Annual Report and a forecast year end position as at 30 June 2024.
15 For the purposes of adopting the Annual Plan 2024/25, the financial statements include capital expenditure of $206.883 million as approved by Council at its meeting held on 28 May 2024.
16 Debt is forecast to increase to $709.473 million in the 2024/25 year. Authority is sought to provide the Chief Executive with the appropriate delegation to drawdown debt up to a maximum of $735 million.
17 The adopted Annual Plan 2024/25 will require a full editorial quality check. This check will be completed within the statutory timeframes. Any required editorial changes can be achieved through delegating authority to approve editorial changes to the Chief Executive.
OPTIONS
18 The Council is legislatively required to adopt the Annual Plan 2024/25 before 1 July 2024, therefore there are no options applicable to this report.
NEXT STEPS
19 Once adopted the Annual Plan 2024/25 will be subject to final quality checks, graphic design and printed for public distribution in hard copy and on the Council’s website.

f) Adopts the following definition of a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit:
"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."
Lump Sum Contributions

Rating by Instalments
h) Approves the following schedule of rates to be collected by the Council, payable by four instalments.

BACKGROUND
2 The Annual Plan 2024/25 provides an update of year four of the 10 year plan 2021-31. Engagement on the draft Annual Plan ran from 28 March to 24 April 2024, and then from 8 May to 15 May 2024. The Council met in May 2024 to hear submissions, deliberate, and make final decisions on the draft 2024/25 budget.
DISCUSSION
3 The rating method for the 2024/25 year incorporates the following changes:
· An increase in the Community Services targeted rate from $111.50 to $117.00.
· The differentiated stadium: 10,000+ capacity rates have been increased by the June 2023 Local Government Cost Index of 4.9%.
Limit on "Fixed" Charging
4 Section 21 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 includes a limit on certain rates. In any one year, the Council may not collect more than 30% of its total rates revenue by way of:
· Any uniform annual general charge.
· Any targeted rate that is calculated as a fixed amount per rating unit or separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit (and which is not used solely for water supply or sewage disposal).
5 The Council does not use a uniform annual general charge. The relevant targeted rates for the 2024/25 year are the Kerbside Collection rate, the Community Services rate and the Drainage fixed charge. These rates equate to 23% of total rates revenue.
OPTIONS
6 The option provided is to set rates in accordance with the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 in order to provide rates funding in the 2024/25 year in accordance with the 2024/25 budget.
NEXT STEPS
7 The Council can now set and assess the rates described in its Funding Impact Statement.
