Minimum Rates

c) Approves that where the total amount of rates payable in respect of any rating unit is less than $5.00 including GST, the rates payable in respect of the rating unit shall be such amount as the Council determines but not exceeding $5.00 including GST.

Low Value Rating Units

d) Approves that rating units with a capital value of $8,500 or less will only be charged the general rate.

Land Use Codes

e) Approves that the land use codes attached to this report are adopted as the Council's land use codes for the purpose of the rating method.

Separately Used or Inhabited Part of a Rating Unit

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."

SUBMISSIONS

1293873	Paul Weir, Saddle Hill Community Board
	Mr Weir (Chairperson) spoke in support of the Saddle Hill Community Board submission and thanked Council for its ongoing support. He highlighted a number of projects, including the Youth Ambassador Award, and spoke positively about the recipients and their achievements to date. Mr Weir advised that a goal of the Board was to ensure that a shared pathway was provided from Green Island to Brighton. He spoke of the work undertaken in the past and advised that the next stage of the project was to complete the walkway from Waldronville to Westwood and Ocean View. He commented that he did not have current costs however three years ago the estimated cost for the walkway was $800,000. He commented on the need for further vegetation clearance and drainage works, and referred to flooding issues on Old Brighton Road, which had taken 18 months to resolve. Mr Weir also raised concerns about McMaster Road, and advised that approximately 500 vehicles per day travelled on the road and advocated for it to be tar sealed noting that this was a high priority for the Board. In addition, Mr Weir spoke of the issues with coastal erosion and spoke of the damage which had occurred on the Brighton – Taieri Mouth Road and requested a coastal erosion assessment be undertaken. In response to questions, Mr Weir advised that maintenance on Old Brighton Road was now carried out regularly, with drains cleared and vegetation cut back.

1294235	Alasdair Morrison - Waikouaiti Coast Community Board
	Mr Morrison (Chairperson) spoke to the Waikouaiti Coast Community Board submission and reiterated the key points raised.

He requested further details on the Coastal Strategy, including what actions were planned and what assistance the Board could provide. Mr Morrison spoke of the need for the public toilet facilities to be upgraded at the Truby King Reserve. Mr Morrison advocated for greater use of skilled local people to undertake projects in the area. He advised that using capable local contractors for small jobs could improve efficiency and reduce costs. He noted that this approach was not intended to take work away from others, but rather to ensure issues were addressed quickly and cost-effectively, drawing on local knowledge and expertise. Mr Morrison responded to questions.

1293853	Terina Geddes (Chair) - Strath Taieri Community Board
	Ms Geddes (Chairperson) spoke to the Strath Taieri Community Board submission and expressed the Boards’ appreciation for the reroofing work at the Strath Taieri Community Centre. Ms Geddes advised that the Board supported the general rate differential for 3 Waters utilities. However, she commented that the size of the revaluation raised broader concerns about the consistency and accuracy of asset valuations across the district. She explained that for Middlemarch, the concerns were heightened by the condition of their local water and wastewater infrastructure which was outdated. Ms Geddes provided an example citing the 2018 flooding event where stormwater overwhelmed the wastewater network and caused sewage to overflow onto the road and requested that Council provide essential infrastructure and timely maintenance for the district. Ms Geddes acknowledged the value Forsyth Bar Stadium and the Dunedin Centre bought to the city but advised that the Board did not support more funding for Dunedin Stadium Property Ltd when maintenance across the community did not occur. Ms Geddes spoke of the issues with the Middlemarch Railway Station which she believed became a Dunedin City Council asset in 1992. She commented how they would like to see it in use again as the building was currently unusable, with the floor having a bow in it and windows that leaked. Ms Geddes responded to questions.

1294056	Jarrod Hodson - West Harbour Community Board
	Mr Hodson (Chairperson) reiterated the key points in the West Harbour Community Board submission.

Mr Hodson advised that the slump at Wanaka Street in Ravensbourne presented a significant safety hazard and needed to be fixed. Mr Hodson explained that many West Harbour communities were vulnerable to extreme weather. The Board would like more effort to be put into local mitigation and emergency response to protect vulnerable slip prone and low lying communities with better preparation for more frequent severe weather events. Mr Hodson spoke in support of the eradication of sycamores in the West Harbour area. He requested an extension of hours for the Port Chalmers Pool with it finishing in April. He requested traffic calming safety improvements on the Peninsula Beach Road such as judder bars for the safety of pedestrians and dog walkers. Mr Hodson spoke of the retention of the local dams which were well used recreational sites; concerns over litter and requested more bins with increased maintenance and emptying and tour bus parking safety. Mr Hodson responded to questions.

1293847	Rebecca Shepherd - Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board
	Ms Shepherd (Chairperson) and Mr Steve Wilson (Member) spoke to their PowerPoint presentation on behalf of the Mosgiel Taieri Community Board.

While the three remaining sections at the Ōtākou end of the Peninsula were due to be completed first, back in 2015 there was a need for Council to change the sequence, these three sections became last in the order. They advised that there had been no resolution from Council to alter the work and it should proceed. Messrs Pope and Langsbury explained that the number of visitors to the area exceeded 300,000 per annum which generated over $220 million to the local economy, the international exposure as a global tourism attraction was reliant on that piece of infrastructure which was also essential for safety purposes. Messrs Pope and Langsbury responded to questions.

1293759	Hoani Langsbury
	Mr Langsbury spoke to his presentation which emphasised issues with buses on blind corners on the peninsula road, crossing the centre line and posing a danger to oncoming traffic. He commented that this was separate to the Te Awa Ōtākou/Peninsula Connection project and requested that work be undertaken to ease this safety issue as the road was widely used especially during the tourism season. Mr Langsbury responded to questions.

1293887	Nigel Billings on behalf of Eleanor Linscott, Federated Farmers Otago Incorporated
	Mr Billings spoke to the submission from Federated Farmers Otago Incorporated on the impact of the 3 waters costs. He commented that they would prefer the Council increase the targeted rates instead of general rates, especially for ratepayers in urban areas. Mr Billings requested Council ensure the rate increase for farmland did not exceed that of the urban residential rate increase when doing a like for like comparison. Mr Billings responded to questions.
Moved (Deputy Mayor Cherry Lucas/Cr Mandy Mayhem): That the Council: Adjourns the meeting until 2.10 pm. Motion carried The meeting adjourned at 1.59 pm and reconvened at 2.09 pm.
1293869	Nicole Devereux, Presbyterian Support Otago Incorporated
	Ms Devereux, General Manager of Family Works – Presbyterian Support Otago spoke of the long standing close working relationship they enjoyed with Council. She commented on the hardship the majority of their clients were facing with costs including the proposed rates increase, acknowledged the work undertaken to keep rates increases as low as possible and requested the increase be kept as low as possible. Ms Devereux responded to questions.

1293844	Dr Ohad Dar and Julie Pearse (MNZM) Residents of McMaster Road Working Group
	Dr Dar and Ms Pearse spoke to their PowerPoint presentation on behalf of the residents of the McMaster Road Working Group about the state of McMaster Road. They commented that they believed the Ottoseal trial had been a failure and it was inappropriate material and advocated for the sealing of McMaster Road. Dr Dar and Ms Pearse commented that the speed limit was also a concern for the residents as it was a 100km whereas the residents travelled the road at 40-60km which was a more appropriate speed. The dust obscured pedestrians and cyclists and put them at risk. They commented that they had held discussions with the Saddle Hill Community Board and the DCC transport department and whilst they had had regular meetings, they felt this needed to be presented to Council for consideration. Dr Dar and Ms Pearse responded to questions and commented that a speed reduction to 60km would help and noted that the sealed roads in the area had a speed limit of 80km with McMaster Road being the only one with a 100km speed limit.

1293993	James Nation, Sport Otago
	Mr Nation spoke to the Sport Otago submission and commented that investment was needed in roading and infrastructure projects that supported the activation of people. He commented on playground upgrades and noted that play was a crucial component of children’s physical activity development. Mr Nation that there were playgrounds that wouldn’t need a lot of money to be upgraded but would greatly benefit from the work. Mr Nation spoke on fees and charges across sports grounds and advised that whilst they were necessary, he requested that any fee increases be as minimal as possible and requested that early consultation be undertake for any proposal for grounds increases or fees. Mr Nation responded to questions and commented that he supported the Town Belt trial, there needed a balance of letting car movement go and keeping people safe.

1293640	Judy Martin, OneCoast Incorporated
	Ms Martin spoke to the submission from One Coast Incorporated and commented that it was a Resource Recovery Centre. She commented that waste levy funds must be used to promote waste minimisation practices and requested that a small proportion of the money be provided to the Waikouaiti community to fund a weatherproof building on the DCC owned platform that OneCoast operated from. She said that it would reduce waste and transport costs as each round trip to the skip was 100km. Ms Martin responded to questions.
1293658	Brent Irving, Dunedin Tunnels Trail Trust (DTTT) Chairperson
	Mr Irving (Chairperson) spoke to the Dunedin Tunnels Trail Trust submission. He advised that stage one of the tunnel was now open with approximately 350 users per day. Mr Irving spoke of the popularity of trails and that stages 2 and 3 were now well advanced and that they had secured $2 million from MBIE. Mr Irving did not seek funding from Council but rather support and formal recognition of the Dunedin Tunnels Trail as a strategic, city-shaping transport and recreation corridor. Mr Irving responded to questions.

Moved (Deputy Mayor Cherry Lucas/Cr Mandy Mayhem): That the Council: Extends the meeting beyond 6 hours. Motion carried
1293305	Paul Coffey, Dunedin Tracks Network Trust
	Mr Coffey and Ms Jo Cushen spoke to their PowerPoint presentation in support of the Dunedin Tracks Network Trust submission and the desire to extend the trail to ultimately link Oamaru to Waihola. They thanked Council for the $50,000 funding provided and requested this continue to advance trail planning, technical assessments, consent processes, and landowner agreements. Mr Coffey commented that they strongly supported prioritising the Tunnels Trail and reopening of the Caversham Tunnel to improve connectivity, resilience, and economic opportunities. The Trust also continued progressing the Clutha Gold Trail extension and advocated for sustained investment in parks, tracks, and trails to support community wellbeing and regional growth.

Moved (Deputy Mayor Cherry Lucas/Cr Mandy Mayhem): That the Council: Adjourns the meeting until 3.30 pm. Motion carried The meeting adjourned at 3.15 pm and Cr Lee Vandervis left the meeting. The meeting reconvened at 3.30 pm. Deputy Mayor Cherry Lucas noted an apology for early departure from Cr Lee Vandervis.

1293911	Robyn West
	Ms West spoke on behalf of Nathan Kershaw, Spokes Dunedin and to her private submission in support or the Dunedin Tunnels Trails Trust and reopening the Caversham tunnel. Ms West commented that Spokes and herself supported cyclists and a safer more connected infrastructure. She noted that the issues with the Caversham Tunnel were the utility pipes especially wastewater which needed to be made safe and ensure the reopening of the Caversham Tunnel.
Cr Doug Hall returned to the meeting at 3.36 pm.
	Ms West responded to questions.

1293833	Dr Ian Griffin, Tūhura Otago Museum and Dr Gerard O’Regan
	Drs Griffin and O’Regan spoke to their PowerPoint presentation in support of the submission from Tūhura Otago Museum. They commented that they would seek, as part of the next Long Term Plan process, Council support for two major capital projects. These projects were the redevelopment of the Tangata Whenua Gallery which would be developed in partnership with manawhenua and would ensure that the cultural narratives at the heart of Otago were represented with authenticity, depth and contemporary relevance. The other project was the restoration of the Ross Building which was one of Dunedin’s significant heritage interiors. Drs Griffin and O’Regan responded to questions.

Cr Russell Lund left the meeting at 3.50 pm and returned at 3.53 pm.

1292013	Hamish Barrell
	Mr Barrell spoke to his submission and provided handouts on the benefit of having a 200L Rain Water Tank. He commented that the tank offered a practical solution and would provide residents with as reliable emergency water supply during critical situations. Mr Barrell responded to questions.

1294061	Tom Riley, ARANZ Archives and Records Association of NZ
	Tom Riley (Branch Chair); Stuart Strachan and Mr Miller spoke to the Archives and Records Association of NZ submission requesting the reinstatement of an archivist at Toitū Otago Settlers Museum (TOSM). They advised that since 2023, the role of the TOSM Archivist had been vacant which resulted in severely restricted access to the archives. The TOSM archive contained an invaluable collection of social history material relating to the history of Dunedin and Otago which were very significant for the lives of people living in New Zealand and Dunedin in particular. Messrs Riley, Strachan and Miller responded to questions.

1293457	Samantha Lay Yee via zoom and Bruce Goodger - Property Council New Zealand
	Ms Lay Yee and Mr Goodger spoke to the submission from the Property Council New Zealand submission. They commented on their main concerns which were rate increases, rating differentials, fees and charges and Forsyth Barr Stadium Funding. In particular they wanted the differential rates for commercial properties removed entirely and spoke of a proposal for a new Three Waters utilities differential. Ms Lay Yee and Mr Goodger responded to questions.

The meeting closed at 4.20 pm.

Hearings Committee Recommendations on Proposed Parking Changes - June 2026

Department: Civic

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 This report presents recommendations of the Hearings Committee meetings (Attachment A - Minutes of Hearings Committee meeting) held on 12 June 2026 on proposed changes and corrections to parking restrictions.

2 The Hearings Committee (the Committee) recommends that the proposed parking restrictions presented in this report be approved.

3 If approved by Council, the changes recommended by the Hearings Committee will be included in the Council’s GIS bylaw database and become part of the Dunedin City Traffic and Parking Bylaw.

4 The proposed changes in parking and traffic restrictions are presented in two sections:

a) minor general parking changes – this section includes parking changes arising from requests from the public and businesses to change parking restrictions and other general changes, safety and infrastructure changes,

b) corrections to parking restrictions to ensure that the GIS database matches the parking controls on the ground and clarifications of markings on the road to reflect restrictions in the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, where safety concerns or repeated issues highlight a need for clarifications to be made.

5 Where required, consultation has been undertaken separately for the minor general parking changes. Seventy-four submissions were received from the public on proposed changes. These are presented in full in Attachment B.

6 Overall, proposed parking changes in this report would install 19 restricted car parks, five unrestricted car parks, and change the restrictions on 36 car parks.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a) Adopts the proposed changes to traffic and parking restrictions shown in the June 2026 update of the Dunedin City Council's traffic and parking restrictions database: June 2026 Proposed Parking Changes,

b) Notes that Council staff will undertake follow-up actions for some of the proposed parking changes (with actions described in paragraphs 35, 37, and 40),

c) Notes that the Hearings Committee has considered feedback from consultation on the proposed changes relating to changes and restrictions,

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

BACKGROUND

Traffic and parking controls

7 Traffic and parking controls contribute to the objectives of the Dunedin Integrated Transport Strategy 2013 and the Dunedin City Council 9 Year Plan 2025-2034 by supporting a safe, efficient, and accessible transport network.

8 The Council maintains a Geographic Information System (GIS) map bylaw database of traffic and parking restrictions (the database) that reflects all on-street parking restrictions that are implemented with markings and/or signs.

9 Parking controls are made under the Dunedin City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw. The Committee has the delegation to consider changes to parking controls and to make recommendations to Council, which subsequently approves traffic restrictions and parking controls.

Context for proposed changes

10 The Council often receives requests from individuals and businesses to change parking restrictions. When considering these requests, officers assess a range of factors including safety concerns, commuters’ needs, commercial users’ needs, road width and topography, traffic flow, neighbouring on-street parking spaces, visibility concerns and crash statistics. Where a proposed change is supported by officers, consultation is undertaken with affected residents, businesses, and property owners to assess their level of support for the requested change.

11 The proposed changes in parking and traffic restrictions are presented in two sections:

a) minor general parking changes that include requests from residents, property owners, or business owners; changes made to enhance safety or amenity; and recommendations from officers. These changes include:

i. changes to time restrictions to encourage more parking turnover, supporting better access to local businesses and recreation areas for communities,

ii. improvements to enable more efficient public transport services, and

iii. introduction of various no stopping areas following safety assessments

b) corrections to the bylaw database to ensure that it matches existing markings, parking restrictions, and signage, and clarifications of markings on the road to reflect restrictions in the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004.

12 Consultation on proposed minor general parking changes occurred on a rolling basis from March-May 2026. The 74 submissions received related to 11 of the proposed parking changes (including two proposed changes that have been withdrawn on the recommendation of the Committee) and represent 48 individuals, 17 businesses, and the West Harbour Community Board.

DISCUSSION

13 The proposed general parking changes are shown in June 2026 Proposed Parking Changes and are set out in Attachment B – Minor General Parking Changes. The GIS layer includes a bookmark feature that links the proposed changes and the reference numbers shown in the Attachment B tables showing their specific location.

14 Submissions received during consultation undertaken with affected parties, including owners, residents and businesses, are presented in full in Attachment C – Feedback Received. In addition to the parking changes submission form being made available online, officers mailed and delivered consultation letters to affected residents and property owners where necessary.

15 Officers followed up on actions from the previous Hearings Committee meeting on 20 March as follows (Minutes of Hearings Committee - Friday, 20 March 2026):

a) For 1 Fern Road Maia, Transport staff have reached out to Dunedin Rudolf Steiner School to request that they remind parents and staff about appropriate parking when picking up and dropping off students.

b) Parking enforcement officers have added in a short-term patrol around the school during pick-up and drop-off hours to increase the enforcement of appropriate parking during these times (noting however that continuous patrols are not possible based on limited staffing numbers).

c) In terms of wider parking changes in the area, Transport staff will continue to follow up with the school and request a time to discuss where other opportunities for regulatory improvement may arise, including a site visit to the school to review potential locations for a pick up and drop off area. Transport staff have followed up with the speaker at the March Committee with this update.

d) For 165 Eglinton Road, Transport officers have reviewed the area and consider that the current number of short-term parks in front of the Night ‘n Day is sufficient and on par with short-term parking amenity near similar businesses. Other businesses near 165 Eglinton Road provide services that require longer-stay parking to be available, e.g. for veterinarian hair appointments and grocery shopping. As a result, Transport staff do not recommend converting any more sixty-minute parks to short-term parks. Transport staff have followed up with the speaker at the March Committee with this update and a request that evidence be provided if the short-term parking amenity proves to be insufficient.

e) For Macandrew Road (Careys Bay), Transport officers have brought a renewed proposal to this Hearings Committee for consideration, after an additional period of consultation and additional safety assessments.

Minor General Parking Changes – Traffic or Parking Change (TPC-55) (Attachment B)

Changes to support public transport efficiency

16 Effective 30 June 2025, Otago Regional Council (ORC) implemented changes for some Dunedin bus routes and timetables. These changes provide better connections for passengers from southeastern areas of the city into South Dunedin, along with timetable changes to other routes to improve reliability, and are summarised in full on the ORC website: Changes to Dunedin bus routes after 30 June 2025.

17 To ensure that parking restrictions formally reflect where these public transport changes have made bus stops redundant or require new stops, proposed changes would replace 10 redundant bus stops with 21 car parks (with a mix of restrictions reflecting customer and business needs in the surrounding area) and no stopping lines (see the diagrams under PC #7 in Attachment B). The temporary bus stop near 203 King Edward Street would become permanent, formally replacing five five-minute (P5) car parks. Two submissions were received in support of the proposed bus stop changes.

18 The Hearings Committee reviewed the proposal to convert the redundant bus stop near 482 Andersons Bay Road to two sixty-minute (P60) car parks and recommended changing the restriction to two thirty-minute (P30) car parks to provide greater variety of time restrictions in the area. The proposal in Attachment B and in the mapping link has been updated with the Committee’s recommendation.

19 Other proposed parking changes that contribute to improved public transport efficiency and safety are:

a) Installing a new bus stop and shelter in the road reserve near 6 Coast Road to serve route 1 bus services, which will stop in Warrington from October 2026 (PC#9 in Attachment B). Currently, there is no northbound bus stop in Warrington for passengers travelling from Dunedin or Waitati, and installing one on the northbound side of the state highway presents feasibility and safety issues. No feedback was received from the adjacent residents and property owners.

b) Converting a redundant bus stop near 574 Andersons Bay Road to two unrestricted car parks and three metres of no stopping lines (to provide adequate visibility near a crossing point) (PC#5 in Attachment B).

20 The Otago Regional Council and Dunedin City Council ran a consultation on a proposal to extend the bus stop at 237A Main South Road (Green Island) to a double capacity stop with associated improvements. Twenty-two submissions were received, with nineteen submissions opposed from both businesses and individuals who cited concerns about safety and property access. The feedback highlighted the popularity of the nearby stop near the Runciman Street path. On reviewing feedback, the ORC and DCC agreed that more investigation was needed to understand wider public transport needs in the area, and to be able to address community concerns. The proposal has been withdrawn from this Hearings Committee and will undergo further scoping and analysis before progressing further.

Changes to better serve local businesses and communities

21 Most proposed parking changes in this report involve changing the time restrictions on parks to better serve businesses and communities. Reducing the time restriction on a park supports more parking turnover, meaning more people can use the park to access local businesses and amenities. Changes to parking time restrictions are proposed near 205 Andersons Bay Road, 428 Andersons Bay Road, Bond Street between Jetty and Police Street, Hanover Street (near Dunedin Hospital Early Childhood Centre), Queens Gardens and Cumberland Street, 214 Main South Road (Green Island), Leith Street (near 135 Frederick Street), and Opoho Road and Great King Street North (near the Dunedin Botanic Gardens).

22 At 205 Andersons Bay Road (PC#1), the proposed parking change would replace five unrestricted car parks with five two-hour (P120) car parks. This change will support better access to surrounding businesses in an area frequently occupied by trailers and other vehicles left in the road reserve for long periods of time. No feedback was received on this proposal.

23 Near 428 Andersons Bay Road (PC#2), the proposed parking change responds to a request from a local business, and would replace two sections of three unrestricted car parks with two sections of thirty-minute (P30) car parks (6 total parks), improving access to a dense section of shops along that stretch of road. Eight submissions were received on this proposal, with six in support of the change.

24 On Bond Street between Jetty Street and Police Street (PC#3), 10 unrestricted car parks are frequently occupied all day or longer. This was confirmed by site monitoring conducted by Transport staff. The original proposal would replace these parks with 10 paid P120 parks to align with the parking restrictions on the opposite side of Bond Street, providing more opportunity for other vehicles to use these parks when visiting nearby businesses and residences. Ten submissions were received on this proposal, with 8 against. The original proposal is included below.

25 On reviewing feedback, the Hearings Committee recommended removing the four parks closest to Police Street from the proposal leaving those four parks as unrestricted. The updated proposal is presented in Attachment B and would convert six unrestricted car parks to paid P120 parks, rather than the 10 originally proposed.

26 On Hanover Street near the Dunedin Hospital Early Childhood Centre (ECE) (PC#4), Transport staff have worked with Health NZ to propose a new parking configuration and provide safer short-term parking for parents picking up and dropping off their children at the ECE. Currently, two vehicle crossings on Hanover Street provide access to an off-street parking bay in front of the ECE. To improve safety and reduce congestion, the proposal would close off the parking bay and remove the no stopping lines currently in place around the vehicle crossings. Four five-minute (P5) car parks would be installed in front of the ECE, and an existing section of two paid P60 car parks would shift six metres further down Hanover Street (see Attachment B for the diagram). Four submissions were received, with two in support and two opposed.

27 At Queens Gardens and Cumberland Street (PC#8), Transport staff originally consulted on a proposal to replace 21 paid all-day car parks to 21 paid P240 car parks along Queens Gardens, and to replace two unrestricted car parks with two P30 parks on Cumberland Street Gardens (original consultation diagram below). This change was proposed to standardise the parking restrictions around Queens Gardens. Twenty-three submissions were received on the proposal, with 21 submissions opposing the change to the all-day car parks. Transport staff reviewed feedback and based on the level of need from commuters using the all-day parks, have withdrawn the proposal to change the restriction on the 21 all-day car parks (see Attachment B for the updated diagram). The updated proposal therefore only proposes to replace the two unrestricted car parks on Cumberland Street with two P30 parks.

28 At 214 Main South Road (PC#12), the proposed parking change responds to a request from a local dairy owner, and would replace three fifteen-minute (P15) car parks with three P5 parks to improve parking turnover and support more short trips to the dairy. No feedback was received on this proposal.

29 On Leith Street adjacent to 135 Frederick Street (PC#15), the proposed change originally would replace one unrestricted car park with one P30 car park to support better access to a local cafe and other nearby businesses. Three online submissions were received in support of the change. In addition, Transport staff delivering the consultation letters to the nearby businesses received two requests to convert the unrestricted park in front of 177 Leith Street to a P30 park. The proposal has therefore been updated to propose replacing two unrestricted parks with P30 parks (see Attachment B for the updated diagram, and below for the original proposal).

30 On Opoho Road and Great King Street North (PC#16), proposed changes would convert:

a) seven unrestricted parks on Great King Street North to P120 parks;

b) one unrestricted park adjacent to 21 Opoho Road to one P120 park;

c) where the Book Bus stop is, two unrestricted parks to P120 parks (outside of the Book Bus stop’s hours of operation, which are from 11am-12:15pm on Friday);

d) two unrestricted parks near 17 Opoho Road (which are erroneously marked as having no stopping lines on the Bylaw layer) to P120s; and

e) near 21 Opoho Road, converting two unrestricted parks to P120 parks (outside of the school bus stop’s hours of operation, which are from 9am-3pm, Monday to Friday).

31 These changes would improve parking turnover and availability in an area with a large amount of unrestricted parking. Eleven submissions were received on the proposal, with eight submissions against, citing the impact on staff working in the area needing access to all-day parking. On reviewing the feedback received, Transport staff have not proposed an amendment to the original proposal in Attachment B, based on the significant number of unrestricted car parks that will remain in the area (particularly on Great King Street North pictured below, where more than 20 unrestricted car parks would remain available).

32 One speaker spoke against the proposed changes and highlighted areas where other parking changes may be desirable, e.g. infrastructure changes that could support angled parking on adjacent streets. However, infrastructure changes are outside of the scope of the regulatory changes considered by the Committee, and would require budget commitment from the Council to progress.

33 Two proposed changes that would provide better access for people with disabilities and mobility permit holders have been withdrawn from this report on the recommendation of the Committee and will be brought back to the Committee later after further staff analysis. The proposed changes relate to installing mobility parks on Dunbar Street (Dunedin City) and near 297 Highgate (Roslyn Village), after requests made by the community.

34 On Dunbar Street (PC#10), the original proposal would replace two paid four-hour (P240) car parks with a two-hour (P120) mobility park located across from the accessible entrance to the Dunedin Ōtepoti District Court. The original diagram provided with the consultation stated that the P240 parks would be replaced with two P120 mobility parks, and this was corrected in the diagram in Attachment B to clarify that the park is one area that would extend over both spaces and provide enough room for one larger vehicle, such as a wheelchair accessible van, or two standard-sized vehicles. Two submissions were received in support of the change (including from one speaker to the Hearings Committee), with one submission opposed.

35 After considering the feedback presented and the proposed location of the mobility park, the Committee requested that officers re-evaluate the location and consider surrounding streets (e.g. Stuart and Cumberland) to see whether a suitable alternative location for the mobility park could be identified, with more visibility for road users rather than being on a side street. The proposal has therefore been noted as removed in Attachment B and the parking change mapping link, and a proposal will be brought back to a future Committee meeting for consideration.

36 In Roslyn Village (PC#6), the original proposal would replace one P30 car park in front of 297 Highgate with one P120 mobility park and (to offset the change to short-term parking amenity for delivery vehicles, couriers, etc.) would install an authorised vehicle only (AVO) park near the pedestrian crossing, shifting an existing section of P30s closer to 287 Highgate. Five submissions were received (three opposed, two in support, with two speakers at the Hearings Committee).

37 Discussion at the Hearings Committee meeting highlighted that while there is an identified need for a mobility park in Roslyn Village, a broader review of mobility parking options in Roslyn Village is needed before progressing the proposed change. The Committee recommended deferring the proposed changes until the September Committee meeting and requested that officers bring back more analysis of potential locations for the mobility park (including consideration of locating the park on the other side of the street closer to the roundabout), and also identify any other locations where parking availability could be maximised. The proposal has therefore been noted as removed in Attachment B and the parking change mapping link, and a proposal will be brought back to a future Committee meeting for consideration. Officers will also follow up on concerns about vegetation control in Roslyn Village raised by one of the speakers to the Committee.

Changes as a result of safety assessments

38 As a result of the recommendation of the Hearings Committee on 20 March to provide an additional safety assessment and consultation, Transport safety officers re-assessed the proposal to install two sections of no stopping lines along Macandrew Road near the Port of Otago and the intersection with Cemetery Road (PC#13).

39 Based on the narrow width of the live lane (which measures only three metres wide) and the solid white centre line on this section of Macandrew Road, Transport safety officers note that the proposal to install no stopping lines at the location indicated in Attachment B is rather a clarification that the traffic lane is not wide enough to allow parking and safe passing, and is a dangerous place to park. Solid white centre lines indicate hazards such as corners, intersections, and crossings, and all three of these are present along this stretch of Macandrew Road. The installation of no stopping lines would therefore be classed not as a removal of unrestricted parking, but as a clarification of section 6.1 of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, which sets out that vehicles must be parked with due care and consideration.

40 One submission was received in support of the proposed change from a representative of the West Harbour Community Board, who provided a recommendation to further extend the proposed no stopping lines past the entrance of the Port of Otago. The Committee maintained the original recommendation as set out in Attachment B to balance the demands on the road reserve in the area but recommended that officers install heavy vehicle crossing signs on the approach to the port to encourage drivers to reduce speed from both directions. Officers have since confirmed that a truck crossing sign has already been installed at this location and will review if another is needed.

41 A safety proposal would install no stopping lines over a vehicle crossing on Dunbar Street (adjacent to 252 Cumberland Street) as a clarification of section 6.9 (Obstructing vehicle entrances and exits) of the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004 (PC#11). Based on the vehicle crossing appearing to no longer be in use and the frequency of cars parking across the entrance, Transport staff originally consulted on a proposal to convert the redundant vehicle crossing to a paid P240 car park. On consulting with the property owner and discovering the vehicle crossing is still used, Transport staff updated the proposal to install no stopping lines as a clarification that vehicles cannot park in front of the crossing, as mapped in Attachment B.

42 A new 24/7 NPD Fuel station has opened at 184 Gordon Road in Mosgiel (PC#14). A condition of the resource consent granted by the Council to the developer was that two sections of no stopping lines be installed near the new vehicle crossing on Tay Road, so that fuel tankers could safely enter and exit the crossing. The developer has now installed the no stopping lines (to the removal of two unrestricted car parks), and the proposal mapped in Attachment B would formalise regulating these no stopping lines through the Bylaw.

Parking counts for minor general parking changes

43 Proposed minor general parking changes presented in this report will result in the gain of 19 restricted car parks, the gain of 5 unrestricted car parks, and restriction changes for 40 car parks. The detailed breakdown is presented in Table A.

TABLE A - PARKING COUNTS
MINOR GENERAL PARKING CHANGES – TPC 55
	Restricted car parks	Unrestricted car parks	Restriction change only
Changes to support public transport efficiency	16	7	N/A
Changes to better serve local businesses & communities	3	N/A	36
Changes as a result of safety assessments	N/A	-2	N/A
TOTAL	19	5	36

44 The proposed changes to install no stopping lines on Dunbar Street over the vehicle crossing and to install no stopping lines along Macandrew Road (Careys Bay) are not included as a parking change in Table A, as they represent clarifications that no parking should occur as per the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004.

Corrections and Clarifications – TPC-56 (Attachment D)

45 Corrections of parking restrictions to the bylaw database are detailed in Attachment D – Corrections and Clarifications. They do not change current parking restrictions, but make corrections to the database to accurately reflect the parking restrictions and markings which are on the ground.

46 Two corrections listed (numbers 22 and 24 in Attachment D) would update the variable restrictions adjacent to 56-66 Princes Street and 233-237 Moray Place to reflect the signs and restrictions on the ground. While these were historically restricted as variable so that they could be designated as temporary coach stops on an as-needed basis, these areas have not been used as coach stops for years. Correcting these two areas will make the bylaw database a clearer reflection of the restrictions in place.

47 Clarifications of parking restrictions are also detailed in Attachment D. They do not change parking restrictions on the ground, but install markings and update the bylaw database to clarify for road users where restrictions apply as per the Land Transport (Road User) Rule 2004, in areas where safety concerns or repeated issues highlight a need for clarifications to be made.

OPTIONS

Option One – Approve some or all of the proposed parking changes (recommended)

48 That the Council approves some or all of the proposed changes to the traffic and parking bylaw database.

Advantages

· Improves the efficiency of public transport services and infrastructure by enabling enough capacity for buses and ensuring that they can safely enter and exit bus stops.

· Contributes to achieving an integrated, affordable, responsive, and effective transport network, by ensuring the right parking time restrictions and parking amenity are in place to support local communities and businesses.

· Improves the safety of the transport network by preventing obstructive parking, increasing visibility, and making existing parking controls clearer.

Disadvantages

· Business as usual costs of implementing the parking changes (e.g. installation of markings and signage).

Option Two – Status quo

49 Retain current parking restrictions without amendment.

Advantages

· The costs of implementing parking changes can be allocated elsewhere.

Disadvantages

· Does not improve the efficiency of public transport services and infrastructure.

· Does not meet the expressed parking needs of local communities and businesses, nor contribute to the goals of the Integrated Transport Strategy.

· Does not improve the safety of the network, nor reduce conflict points.

NEXT STEPS

50 If the Council approves the recommended changes to parking restrictions, these will be implemented through appropriate signs and road markings and restrictions will be enforced under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw.

Development of the 10 Year Plan 2027-37

Department: Civic

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 This report provides the Council with an update on the development of the 10 Year Plan 2027-37 (10 Year Plan).

2 The 10 Year Plan is being developed in parallel with Council’s inaugural Water Services Strategy 2027-37 (Water Services Strategy), which is the subject of a separate report.

3 The development of the 10 Year Plan will be challenging, primarily due to the scale and pace of ongoing legislative reform. Details of major proposals, including rate capping, regulatory changes and amalgamation, are not yet confirmed or enacted, creating substantial uncertainty for long-term planning.

4 Despite the uncertainty, the Council is required to develop and adopt a 10 Year Plan under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA).

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a) Notes the Development of the 10 Year Plan 2027-37 report.

BACKGROUND

About the 10 Year Plan

5 Under the LGA, the Council is required to adopt a 10 year plan every three years. Section 93(6) of the LGA provides that the purpose of the Plan is to:

a) describe the Council’s activities;

b) describe the community outcomes for Dunedin;

c) provide integrated decision-making and co-ordination of resources;

d) provide a long-term focus for the decisions and activities of the Council; and

e) provide a basis for accountability of the Council to the community.

6 The 10 Year Plan describes what the Council aims to deliver for the community over the 10 year period from 1 July 2027 to 30 June 2037. The document sets out services and activities the Council will provide, the community outcomes those services and activities are intended to achieve, how much they will cost and how they will be paid for.

7 The 10 Year Plan is a basis for accountability and transparency to the community. It provides information about how decisions were made and enables the community to hold the Council to account for those decisions.

8 Schedule 10 of the LGA specifies that the minimum information and content that must be included in the Plan is:

a) Community outcomes;

b) Groups of activities (including capital expenditure, levels of service and funding impact statements);

c) A statement on any variations between proposals outlined in the Plan and our assessment of sanitary services, and waste management and minimisation plans;

d) Council controlled organisations (including activities provided and key performance targets);

e) A statement on the development of Māori capacity to contribute to decision making processes;

f) A Financial Strategy;

g) An Infrastructure Strategy;

h) A Revenue and Financing Policy;

i) A Significance and Engagement Policy;

j) Financial information, including financial statements, a balanced budget statement, funding impact statements, rating base information and reserve funds; and

k) Significant forecasting assumptions.

9 Previously, water services information was included as part of a council’s Long Term Plan, where relevant. However, from 1 July 2027, detailed water services information will not be included in the 10 year plan but must instead be covered in a separate Water Services Strategy document.

10 Following the completion of the 9 Year Plan 2025-34 (9 Year Plan) in 2025, there was a debrief session with Councillors to identify lessons learned and ways to improve the process for the next long term plan. Feedback from that session has been incorporated into 10 year plan project planning.

Consultation and Audit of the 10 Year Plan

11 Community consultation using the Special Consultative Procedure is mandatory under the LGA. A consultation document that fairly reflects the content and key issues of the draft 10 Year Plan must be prepared and made available for this process, rather than the draft Plan itself.

12 It is also a legislative requirement that the 10 Year Plan and its consultation document are audited. Boths audits will be conducted by the Audit Office (formerly Audit NZ).

Legislative reforms

13 The development of the 10 Year Plan is expected to be significantly more challenging than in previous cycles due to the scale and pace of ongoing legislative reform. Major proposals, including rate capping and amalgamation, are not yet confirmed or enacted, creating substantial uncertainty for long-term planning.

14 The Local Government (Systems Improvements) Bill proposes changes to the LGA, which would affect decision making considerations for the 10 Year Plan. In particular, the Bill proposes changes to the purpose of local government, and identifies core services (see Table 1).

Table 1: Selected proposed changes - Local Government (Systems Improvements) Bill

Current (LGA)

Proposed (Systems Improvements)

s10 The purpose of local government is—

(a) to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities; and

(b) to promote the social, economic, environmental, and cultural well-being of communities in the present and for the future.

s10 The purpose of local government is—

(a) to enable democratic local decision-making and action by, and on behalf of, communities; and

(b) to meet the current and future needs of communities for good-quality, cost-effective, and local—

(i) infrastructure; and

(ii) public services; and

(iii) performance of regulatory functions; and

(core services not currently identified in LGA)

s11A In performing its role, a local authority must have particular regard to the contribution that the following core services make to its communities:

(a) network infrastructure:

(b) public transport services:

(d) civil defence emergency management:

(e) libraries, museums, reserves, and other community and recreational facilities.

15 Also as part of the Local Government (System Improvements) Bill, proposed mandatory Groups of Activity for planning and reporting have been released (see Table 2). Note that under current legislation, the only mandatory Group of Activity in a long term plan of a territorial authority is ‘Roading and Footpaths’.

16 The goal of this proposed change is to provide better visibility of a council’s performance through consistency of reporting, and to enable easier comparison with other councils.

Table 2: Proposed mandatory groups of activity for council planning and reporting

#	Group of activities	Activities and description
1	Adaptation and emergency management	· Adaptation actions, including flood protection, and emergency management. · Implementation of National Adaptation Framework: coastal protection, flood protection and control works, other adaptation and climate-related planning and actions e.g. drought and fire protection; emergency planning and management. · The adaptation and emergency management group should be reserved for expenses that do not directly align with other activities. For example: flood protection, slope stabilisation warning systems should be included in this category. · Improvements or upgrades to accommodate climate impacts, such as road elevations, upsizing of stormwater pipes to accommodate deluges and water reservoirs to accommodate dryer periods, should be recorded against the activities to which they most directly relate.
2	Community and recreational facilities	· Libraries, museums, galleries, other recreational and sport facilities, including swimming pools, community, heritage and village halls, community centres, stadia, marine recreational facilities. Cemeteries and crematoria, public toilets.
3	Governance, planning and reporting	· Council, committees, and financial matters related to the elected council and community boards, corporate services. · Includes long-term plans, annual plans and reports, infrastructure and management strategies, district and regional plans, urban planning, financial and funding strategies, reporting on CCOs community and economic development plans, water services strategies, iwi liaison, marketing and communications, and the development and review of bylaws and other council policies.
4	Parks and reserves	· Parks and reserves and all associated land-based activities. This may include sports fields and changing rooms, mountain biking tracks, car parks, playgrounds, walking tracks, plant collections, and camping grounds. · Community facilities located on reserve land for the purpose of using the reserve, for example: public toilets, clubrooms and pavilions, are included in this group. · Community facilities, not part of the use of the reserve or park such as community centres, indoor sports centres, swimming pools, and crematoria, should be recorded as part of the ‘community and recreational facilities’ group.
5	Public regulatory services	· Public services and activities related to the performance of regulatory functions, including environmental protection. · Building control, resources consent/planning compliance, environmental health, animal and dog control, bylaw enforcement, alcohol licensing, hazardous substances/nuisance complaints, marine safety, LIMS and LGOIMA information requests. · Air and water quality, pest and plant management, biodiversity and biosecurity, management of land for environmental protection purposes, partnerships with iwi Māori for land management decisions.
6	Roading and transport	· Provision, management, renewal, and upkeep of the local road network, including roads, footpaths, bridges, traffic controls, and roadside drainage. · Includes routine works, inspections, vegetation control, drainage cleaning, minor repairs, response to weather events. · Planning, construction, maintenance, and management of roads and related transport infrastructure. Actual road operation handled by councils. · Public transport: rail, bus, ferry, tram. · On-road parking and council-owned carparks and carparking buildings (including those managed by others). · Abandoned vehicles.
7	Waste management and minimisation	· Street and roadside rubbish bins and recycling. Kerbside rubbish collection. Recycling centres, aftercare of landfill sites, landfill operations, reusable materials depots, recycling collection and recovery. Kerbside organic collection, transport, composting and re-use.
8	Other activities	· Community and economic development, grants (not related directly to another activity), sustainability, international relations, events and festivals, forestry, social housing, commercial and heritage property, community safety, tourism.

17 The proposed ‘other activities’ group is designed to be used for activities that are not considered to be core services.

18 The government is currently seeking feedback on the proposed Groups. If confirmed, they would shape how the 10 Year Plan is structured. Budgets for individual Council activities would be consolidated into broader Group-level budgets. Levels of Service (LOS), along with their associated performance measures and targets, would be clustered together depending on the Group they related to.

19 Other significant reforms include proposed simplification of local government and rate capping, though legislation for these has not yet been introduced.

DISCUSSION

Roles and responsibilities

20 The 10 Year Plan is a significant piece of work that requires input from elected members, staff and the community.

21 Elected members, through Council, play a central role throughout the 10 Year Plan process. This involves:

· Providing strategic direction and priorities for the next ten years.

· Providing input into the development of long term plan policies and strategies, and then considering and approving draft documents.

· Considering options reports, and making decisions on which projects are included in the draft budget, which will be consulted on.

· Deciding on specific topics for community consultation.

· Involvement in community consultation, including hearing the community’s views at consultation events and formal hearings.

· Receiving community feedback, deliberating and decision making on the final Plan.

22 The Council is also responsible for adopting the consultation document and its supporting information, and adopting the final 10 Year Plan.

23 Staff are working within a project framework to develop the 10 Year Plan. The Executive Leadership Team have oversight of the process as the Project Steering Group.

24 Workstreams are in place to develop different parts of the Plan. Regular reports to Council will provide updates on progress and will present draft material for consideration.

25 A Finance and Performance Committee workshop was held on 15 June, where the Committee provided early direction on the Financial Strategy and Infrastructure Strategy. This direction is being used to guide the development of draft budgets.

Milestones and timeframes

26 Key milestones are shown in Table 3.

Table 3: 10 Year Plan project milestones

Milestone	Date
Development of draft strategies and policies	Now-Nov 2026
Budget options reports are presented to Council	Now-Sep 2026
Council budget meeting	December 2026
Adoption of the 10 Year Plan Consultation Document	March 2027
Community consultation period (Special Consultative Procedure)	April 2027
Hearings	May 2027
Council deliberations	May 2027
Adoption of the 10 Year Plan 2027-37	By 30 June 2027

27 Budget option reports will be brought to Council on a regular basis between now and September.

28 With proposed rate capping signalled by central government, and in line with early Council direction on the Financial Strategy, options reports will include:

· Projects previously decided by Council and included in the 9 Year Plan, so they can be re-confirmed (for example, Smooth Hill landfill).

· Where appropriate, staff may also present alternative options for projects included in the 9 year plan.

· Proposed ‘New Capital’ budget items not included in the 9 Year Plan will be presented to Council for consideration.

29 Decisions on options reports will be built into the draft budget, which will be considered in full at the Council budget meeting on 7-10 December. The timing of this meeting is different than usual based on Councillor feedback.

30 Two 10 Year Plan workshops will be scheduled each month for the remainder of 2026. Topics of upcoming workshops are:

a) 20 July: Rating method (including general rate differentials), Rating Policies and the Revenue and Financing Policy

b) 17 August: 10 Year Plan budget update (non-public)

31 Topics of remaining workshops will be confirmed in due course.

32 Timeframes are subject to change as the project progresses, particularly in response to ongoing legislative reform.

OPTIONS

33 Council is required to develop and adopt a long term plan so, on this basis, there are no options.

NEXT STEPS

34 Council workshops that relate to the development of the 10 Year Plan will be scheduled.

35 Updates and options reports on 10 year plan matters will be brought to Council or a Committee of Council on a regular basis.

36 The 10 Year Plan draft budgets will be presented to Council at its budget meeting on 7-10 December 2026.

City-wide emissions target refresh options

Department: Zero Carbon

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1 The purpose of this report is for Council to consider whether to refresh the existing city emissions targets set in 2019, and if Council wish to refresh the existing targets, determine the type of target.

2 If Council decides to refresh the city-wide emissions target, staff will present options for the level of ambition of a refreshed target in a subsequent report.

3 Dunedin’s current city-wide emissions target, adopted in 2019, is highly unlikely to be achieved. While progress has been made in reducing emissions, changes in national policy settings, economic conditions, and updated data mean the existing “net zero by 2030” target is no longer considered achievable.

4 An overview of best practice for setting city/district level targets, and a comparison of peer cities confirms that:

a) It is viable to have a split-gas approach under the latest climate science and guidance, provided the target is explicit, transparently reported, and where methane reductions are ambitious and science-aligned.

b) A target with science-aligned ambition, consistent with best practice guidance, is very difficult for Dunedin to achieve.

c) Action to reduce emissions and adapt to climate change in the short term has transition risks in a New Zealand local government context, however decisive action in the next 5 to 10 years is expected to lead to the lowest transition risks and physical hazards overall.

d) There are a range of target options used by local authorities within New Zealand, and by local authorities internationally with a similar emissions profile to Dunedin.

5 While the three emissions modelling scenarios for Dunedin reconfirms advice from May 2025 that the “net zero by 2030” target is not considered achievable, under all scenarios Dunedin is anticipated to achieve net zero emissions for all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane earlier than New Zealand’s 2050 target.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Council:

a) Decides whether to retain the existing Zero Carbon 2030 targets, or adopt refreshed targets

b) If Council decides to adopt refreshed targets in (a), decides which of the following types of target for Dunedin:

i) A single year net zero target OR

ii) A single year gross emissions reduction target, with no net zero claim OR

iii) A budget envelope approach defining an emissions limit over a defined period; OR

iv) A two stage target, with a near term gross emissions focus, and a long-term net zero target

c) If Council decides to adopt refreshed targets in (a), decides whether to:

i) Include biogenic methane in one overall target OR

ii) Have separate biogenic methane and all other greenhouse gases targets

d) Notes that if Council decides to refresh a target, staff will present options for Council to consider the level of ambition of a refreshed target later in 2026

BACKGROUND

6 This report refers to emissions in tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents (tCO2e). This is a measure used to standardise the climate effects of different greenhouse gases. A summary of the global warming potentials of three main greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide) is included in Attachment A.

The DCC is seeking to manage and reduce greenhouse gas emissions at both the city and DCC scale

7 The DCC is seeking to manage and reduce emissions at two scales, as directed by the Zero Carbon Policy: city (Dunedin emissions) and organisational (DCC emissions).

8 The DCC’s Zero Carbon Policy provides that all DCC activities, including renewals, should seek to minimise emissions and contribute to achieving both city-wide and DCC emissions reduction targets.

9 At the city scale, in 2019 the Council declared a climate emergency and adopted a ‘Zero Carbon 2030’ city emissions reduction target in 2019 (CNL/2019/154), which is in two parts:

a) net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane by 2030, and

b) 24% to 47% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2050, including 10% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2030.

10 Net zero means that greenhouse gas emissions (excluding biogenic methane) are balanced by the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by trees, also known as sequestration.

The Zero Carbon Plan mapped out a path to achieve the city’s target

11 In September 2023, Council adopted an emissions reduction plan for Dunedin: The Zero Carbon Plan 2030. The Zero Carbon Plan set out a pathway to achieve the city’s target, building on trends already underway.

12 The modelling underpinning the Zero Carbon Plan reflected the policy and economic context at the time, including emissions reduction targets and commitments made by government and other entities, as well as planned DCC actions. It concluded that achieving the city’s targets would require coordinated action across government, community, and business stakeholders to pull all available levers as hard as credibly possible.

13 The Zero Carbon Plan outlines how emissions reductions could be achieved through five interconnected areas: resource use and waste; transport and urban form; buildings, energy and industry; forestry, land use and agriculture; and communities and economies.

14 As well as identifying a pathway to net zero, the Zero Carbon Plan describes the broader shifts required for Dunedin to become a Zero Carbon city.

15 It also identifies the DCC’s role in supporting the transition to zero carbon, with action areas for the DCC prioritised according to their emissions reduction potential. The Zero Cabon Plan recognises that many actions required to reduce emissions will reduce costs in the medium term, but there will be upfront costs especially for owners of assets/infrastructure.

16 Despite changes in the wider context since the Plan was adopted, the key shifts identified in the Plan remain valid. Updated modelling confirms that the same fundamental actions will still be required to reduce emissions, particularly significant changes in the transport sector.

17 Staff do not expect changes to the city-wide emissions target to require significant amendments to the Zero Carbon Plan, the key shifts for the city, or the DCC’s action areas.

There have been significant changes in context since 2023

18 Since 2023 there have been changes in context across all five Zero Carbon Plan chapters. Primarily these changes relate to significant shifts in central government policy following the 2023 election. In addition, DCC modelling has incorporated improved data, and there is progress and momentum in local emissions-related partnerships and some DCC-led projects.

19 Updated city emissions modelling was presented to Council in May 2025 (CNL/2025/131), using the 2021/22 Dunedin city emissions inventory to inform projections. The modelling found that:

a) achieving net zero emissions for all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane by 2030 is very unlikely; and

b) the city’s separate biogenic methane target is likely to be achieved by 2030.

20 The May 2025 modelling presented a BAU Scenario broadly following national level trajectories, and an Accelerated Ambition scenario which relied on some changes in central government policy and additional local investment. Modelling presented in May 2025 projected neither the BAU or Accelerated Ambition scenario would achieve ‘net zero’ of all gases other than biogenic methane by 2030:

a) BAU Scenario net emissions were estimated to be 410,000 tCO2e by 2030/31

b) Accelerated Ambition Scenario net emissions were estimated to be 372,000 tCO2e by 2030/31

21 Council noted the modelling, and noted “that staff would further update modelling and provide advice on city emissions target options following completion of the 2024/25 Dunedin emissions inventory” (CNL/2025/131, part (h)).

Updated Dunedin 2025 emissions inventory

22 An updated Dunedin emissions inventory up to 2024/25 was presented to the Policy and Planning Committee in April 2026, showing that Dunedin’s gross[1] emissions reduced 13% between 2018/19 and 2024/25 (PAPCC/2026/012). The key findings from the 2024/25 emissions inventory are summarised below.

23 The pie graph below shows Dunedin’s 2024/2025 gross annual emissions profile broken down by source.

A graph of energy consumption

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

24 The Zero Carbon Plan uses the 2018/19 financial year as the baseline for measuring city-wide emissions. Between 2018/19 and 2024/25:

a) Dunedin’s total gross emissions reduced 13%, from 1,619,536 tCO2e in 2018/19 to 1,416,010 tCO2e in 2024/25.

b) Dunedin’s total net emissions reduced 11%, from 1,258,198 tCO2e in 2018/19 to 1,119,876 tCO2e.

c) Dunedin’s total net emissions (excluding biogenic methane)[2] reduced 9%, from 704,845 tCO2e in 2018/19 to 641,057 tCO2e in 2024/25.

d) Dunedin’s total biogenic methane emissions reduced 13%, from 553,353 tCO2e in 2018/19 to 478,819 tCO2e in 2024/25.

25 Key drivers of the trends from 2018/19 to 2024/25 by sector were as follows:

a) Emissions from Transport decreased by 8% between 2018/19 and 2024/25, from 677,210tCO2e to 624,128tCO2e. This reduction was mainly driven by a 7% reduction in marine freight emissions, a 30% reduction in cruise ship emissions, and 32% reduction in air travel emissions over this period. There was also a small 2% reduction in on-road transport emissions.

b) Emissions from Waste decreased by 50% between 2018/19 and 2024/25, from 92,661tCO2e to 46,092tCO2e. This was driven by a reduction in annual emissions from landfill due to improvements to landfill gas capture, the gradual decrease in emissions from closed landfill sites, and to a lesser extent diversion of some organic material from landfill via kerbside green waste composting services.

c) Emissions from Stationary Energy decreased by 19% between 2018/19 and 2024/25, from 204,735 tCO2e to 165,894 tCO2e. This was driven by a 70% reduction in emissions from burning coal, and a 12% reduction in emissions associated with electricity consumption. Reductions in electricity consumption emissions were due to an 11% reduction in the emissions per kWh of electricity generated. Actual electricity consumption increased 2% between 2018/19 and 2024/25. The reduction in coal use was primarily due to boiler conversions from coal to biomass at the Dunedin Energy Centre, along with reductions due to all coal school boilers converting to biomass or electric heating by 2024/25 as part of the Ministry of Education’s School Coal Boiler Replacement Programme.

d) Emissions from Agriculture decreased 9% between 2018/19 and 2024/25, from 600,515 tCO2e to 547,303 tCO2e. This decrease was mainly due to an estimated 10% reduction in sheep numbers and 16% reduction in dairy cattle numbers over the period.[3]

e) Emissions from Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU) decreased 27% between 2018/19 and 2024/25, from 44,415 tCO2e to 32,593 tCO2e. This was driven by an ongoing trend towards using less emissions-intensive refrigerants and air conditioning gases in appliances.

f) Net Forestry sequestration decreased 18% between 2018/19 and 2024/25 (18% less carbon dioxide was absorbed), from -361,337 tCO2 to -296,134 tCO2. The reduction in net forestry sequestration over this period is due to an increase in forestry harvested in 2024/25 compared with 2018/19. Sequestration from indigenous vegetation remained the same throughout 2018/19 to 2024/25. Sequestration from exotic commercial forestry is variable from year to year. Some years have more harvesting and some years more forest growth, depending on the age of trees and market conditions. The extent of the exotic commercial forestry estate in Dunedin City actually increased over this period, from 16,087 hectares in 2018/19 to 17,298 hectares. All other factors being equal, this suggests the average forestry sequestration for Dunedin will increase over the coming years, as recently planted trees reach maturity.

Changes in gross emissions between 2018/19 and 2024/25 are shown in Table 1, split by emissions source.

DISCUSSION

26 The updated city-wide emissions modelling and the 2024/25 emissions inventory, outlined above, indicate that the biogenic methane target is on track to be achieved. However, the 2030 net zero target for all other greenhouse gases is now considered very unlikely to be met.

27 In light of this updated evidence, Council may choose to consider whether the existing city emissions targets remains appropriate, or whether a refreshed target framework should be adopted.

28 The following sections summarise the key considerations to support that decision, including:

a) best practice on community/city level emissions target setting, including advice on how to consider biogenic methane in targets;

b) city/district level targets of other New Zealand cities, and local governments of other countries with similar emissions profiles to Dunedin;

c) context on national targets, including new methane reduction targets adopted by central government since 2019; and

d) what is plausible, using three different emissions modelling scenarios.

29 This report outlines five options for Council to consider on the type of city level emissions target:

a) Retain the current targets;

b) Adopt a new single year net zero target (in line with the current target format, but adopt a new target year)

c) A single year gross emissions reduction target, with no net zero claim

d) A budget envelope approach, defining an emissions limit over a defined period; and

e) A two stage target, with a near term gross emissions focus, and a long-term net zero target

30 A decision is also sought from Council on whether to include biogenic methane emissions in one overall target, or to keep biogenic methane separate in line with the current Dunedin emissions targets.

Best Practice Guidance and Frameworks

31 This section summarises international guidance and frameworks that are relevant to setting city-wide emissions targets.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report (AR6)

32 The IPCC AR6 synthesis report sets out core principles to define a scientifically robust target. Key findings include:

a) Every increment of warming increases risks, and methane is a major driver of near-term warming.

b) Rapid methane reductions deliver climate benefits within years, not decades, due to methane’s short lifespan in the atmosphere compared to other greenhouse gases.

c) Limiting warming to 1.5°C or 2°C will require deep cuts in all gases, particularly methane.

d) Net-zero carbon dioxide alone is insufficient. Other greenhouse gases must also decline sharply.

e) 1.5°C compatible pathways require approximately 34% methane reductions by 2030 (from 2019 levels).

f) AR6 does not prescribe whether biogenic methane should be included in an overall target, or whether it can be separate to an all other gases net zero target. Instead, it provides scientific parameters for a target to meet.

33 For setting a Dunedin emissions target, IPCC’s AR6 synthesis report confirms:

a) A split-gas approach is scientifically valid, but only if methane ambition is high. Methane is a short lived greenhouse gas, and AR6 supports treating it separately to other long lived greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, provided the methane reduction pathway is front-loaded (i.e a focus on significantly reductions over the next 5-10 years), and aligned with global benchmarks.

b) Methane reductions matter immediately at the city-scale, and as such there should be a focus on short-term actions such as maximising landfill gas capture, wastewater methane management, and reducing landfilling of materials with high organic content (such as food, garden, and timber waste).

c) Net-zero all other gases does not remove the need for significant reductions in biogenic methane. AR6 is explicit that climate stabilisation requires:

i) Deep and sustained reductions in carbon dioxide reaching net-zero

ii) Significant reductions in methane and other non-carbon dioxide gases

The Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventories (GPC)

34 As directed by the Zero Carbon Policy, emissions in the Dunedin City Territorial Area are estimated using the production-based Global Protocol for Community-Scale Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory (GPC) methodology. This method covers the key sectors of Transport, Stationary Energy, Waste, Industrial Processes and Product Use (IPPU), Agriculture, and Forestry. Production-based approaches exclude global emissions relating to consumption, such as the emissions used elsewhere to produce products used/consumed within Dunedin. The GPC methodology is the global standard for estimating emissions within a territorial area.

35 The GPC methodology requires cities to account for all greenhouse gases within their territorial boundaries. This means Dunedin’s targets must be based on the full inventory to comply with the GPC methodology.

36 The key implications for Dunedin emissions targets are:

a) Methane can be treated differently, but not hidden. The GPC methodology allows flexibility about how targets are formulated, provided the approach is explicit, transparent, and consistent with the inventory boundary.

b) Any target must align with the inventory scope, including the same gases, sources and boundaries as used in the city-wide emissions inventory.

Science-Based Targets for Cities (Guide)

37 The Science-Based Targets Network is a science-led initiative founded by a group of global Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) to define what is necessary for cities to do enough to stay within planetary limits. The Science-Based Targets Network (SBTN) have issued guidance on how cities can set science-based targets[4]. The SBTN guide states that a target is considered science-based if it:

a) Aligns with the IPCC 1.5°C pathways

b) Includes a clear 2030 milestone

c) Is net-zero by 2050 at the latest

d) Follows a reduction pathway rather than a single end point

38 The guide provides an indication of what level of ambition a city should have when setting their emissions reduction targets, based on a “fair share” approach where higher emitting and higher income cities reduce their emissions more than lower emitting and lower income cities. Under the SBTN guide Dunedin is considered a high income city with high emissions, having more than 5.1tCO2e emissions per capita, and GDP per capita above NZ$25,000[5]. The SBTN guide recommends targets with the following level of ambition for high emissions and high income cities:

a) 2030: A 70-75% reduction in emissions compared with 2015 levels

b) 2050: Net zero emissions

39 The key implications for Dunedin emissions targets are:

a) To align with the SBTN guide, any updated target needs to have a near term 2030 target and a long-term target no later than 2050.

b) Under the SBTN guide, the 2030 target should reflect Dunedin’s fair share of halving global emissions by 2030. The level of reduction required to meet Dunedin’s fair share under the SBTN guide far exceeds what is possible under any of the three emissions modelling scenarios covered later in this report.

Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy

40 Dunedin has been a signatory to the Global Covenant of Mayors for Climate and Energy (GCoM) since 2015. Cities in GCoM pledge to set “targets at least as ambitious as their country’s Nationally Determined Contributions under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).”[6]

41 This does not provide specific guidance on the form a target should take, rather affirms that for Dunedin to remain a signatory to GCoM, a city level target of some form is required, with a level of ambition at least equivalent to that set nationally.

Local Government Funding Agency – Local Government Sector Climate Scenarios

42 In September 2025, the Local Government Funding Agency (LGFA) released their Local Government Sector Climate Scenarios[7] (LGFA Climate Scenarios). The LGFA Climate Scenarios illustrate how climate change could impact the local government sector under different plausible climate futures. While these scenarios do not provide guidance on how to set a district level target, they do provide guidance on the likely impacts to local government and the communities local government support.

43 There are three scenarios included in the LGFA Climate Scenarios report:

a) Scenario 1: Acting now for our mokopuna – based on coordinated global climate action from the late 2020s, driving a transition to a low-carbon, climate resilient economy, and limiting global warming to 1.7°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

b) Scenario 2: Leaving it to the next generation – Global climate action is delayed until the mid-2030s, with a rapid disorderly transition to a low-carbon economy. This leads to high economic and social costs for Aotearoa New Zealand. Global warming of 2.7°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

c) Scenario 3: Inheriting a broken world – Global climate action falters due to geopolitical tensions. Global warming of 3.9°C above pre-industrial levels by 2100.

44 Each of the scenarios leads to differences in the timing and severity of transition risks and physical hazards. As stated on page 7 of the LGFA Climate Scenarios report “[r]educing emissions or building resilience creates transition risk, whilst higher temperatures cause physical risk…Acting early leads to higher short-term transition risk, but reduces longer-term exposure to physical impacts. Conversely, not reducing emissions leads to physical risks rising exponentially to 2100 and beyond.”

45 This is illustrated below, in terms of the extent of the transition risks and physical risks under each scenario, as well as the impacts of each scenario over time:

Peer Cities Emissions Reduction Targets

46 A comparison of the Hamilton, Palmerston North and Christchurch district level targets is shown below in Table 2. While there are some similarities between Dunedin and these cities, for all three agriculture makes up a smaller share of their city emissions compared with Dunedin (agriculture made up 39% of Dunedin’s emissions in 2024/25). Similarly, because of Dunedin’s large territorial boundaries, there are higher rates of forestry sequestration in Dunedin than places like Hamilton which are largely urban. This can help explain why Hamilton have set ambitious gross emissions reduction targets for 2050, without setting an overall net zero emissions target for Hamilton city.

Table 2 – Comparative New Zealand District Level Targets

NZ Peer District	Target Statement	District Target Years (Gross or Net)	Biogenic Methane Treatment
Palmerston North City Council	A central part of our goal to be an eco-city is achieving a 30% reduction in Palmy’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2031. This target is our part of a national effort to make the whole of New Zealand carbon neutral by 2050.[8]	Gross target for 2031. Reference to 2050 national net-zero target.	Included in 2031 target. (Agriculture was 17% of Palmerston North city gross emissions in 2021)
Christchurch City Council	Our targets for Christchurch are to halve emissions by 2030, compared with 2016-2017 levels, and to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045, with at least a 50% reduction in methane emissions by 2045.[9]	Gross target for 2030. Net Zero 2045	Separate target – 50% reduction in biogenic methane by 2045 (Agriculture was 16% of Christchurch city gross emissions in 2023)
Hamilton City Council	By 2030 our city's emissions are reduced by at least 30%. By 2050 our city's emissions are reduced by at least 82%.[10]	Gross target for 2030 and 2050. No net zero community target.	Included in overall targets. (Agriculture was 1% of Hamilton city gross emissions in 2022)

47 Given Dunedin’s relatively high share of agriculture emissions compared with other comparable New Zealand districts, staff have provided an assessment of the types of approaches used when setting district level targets in Irish and Scottish areas, given the similarities in the emissions footprints between Dunedin and these districts. As shown below in Table 3, the Irish counties and Highland Council in Scotland refer to contributing towards national targets rather than set district level targets. Dumfries and Galloway Council (Scotland) set district targets exceeding the ambition of Scotland’s national level targets.

Table 3 – Comparative Scottish and Irish District Level Targets

Peer District	Target Statement	District Target Years (Gross or Net)	Biogenic Methane Treatment
Mayo, Kerry, and Cork County Councils (Ireland)	All three Irish County Councils refer to national climate goals and agriculture targets: · 25% reduction in agricultural (biogenic) methane by 2030 · National climate neutrality by 2050[11]	Contribute to Ireland’s national targets	Separate biogenic methane target at national level. (Agriculture was 38% of Ireland’s overall emissions in 2023)
Highland Council (Scotland)	As a public body, we are legally required to contribute to Scotland’s Net Zero target by 2045.[12]	Contribute to Scotland’s Net Zero 2045 Target	Included in overall Scotland target. (Agriculture was 26% of net Highlands and Islands emissions in 2019)
Dumfries and Galloway Council (Scotland)	We support the region to: · become a net zero region on or before 2040 · transition to a carbon negative region by 2045 to align with the wider aspiration outlined by South of Scotland Enterprise[13]	Net zero 2040 Net negative 2045	Included in overall target. (Agriculture was 55% of Dumfries and Galloway District gross emissions in 2018)

New Zealand emissions targets

48 Central Government have set the following emissions reductions targets for New Zealand to meet, under the Climate Change Response Act:

a) Net zero emissions of all greenhouse gas emissions other than biogenic methane by 2050.

b) 14% to 24% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2050, including 10% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2030.

49 The 2050 biogenic methane emissions target was amended in December 2025, having previously been a target of a 24% to 47% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2050.

50 The New Zealand targets exclude international shipping and aviation emissions, which are included within Dunedin’s emissions inventory and targets.

51 Central Government have also set the first and second Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement covering 2021-2030 (NDC1) and 2031-2035 (NDC2). The NDC1 target is to reduce net greenhouse gas emissions to 50% below 2005 levels by 2030. This target can be met by domestic emissions reductions (reductions within New Zealand) and also by emissions reductions occurring offshore but paid for by New Zealand.

Summary of emissions modelling scenarios

52 This report seeks a decision on the preferred form of Dunedin’s emissions reduction target, rather than its level of ambition. To support that decision, three emissions modelling scenarios are summarised below to provide context on the achievability of the current Zero Carbon 2030 target and potential future pathways.

53 The emissions modelling presented to Council in May 2025 (CNL/2025/131) projected emissions through to 2035 and assessed the achievability of the existing Zero Carbon 2030 target. That work considered two emissions scenarios: a business as usual (BAU) scenario broadly aligned with the Second National Emissions Reduction Plan 2026-2030, and an Accelerated Ambition scenario reflecting additional policy and investment interventions.

54 To support Council’s consideration for a refreshed city emissions target, emissions have now been modelled through to 2050 to provide longer-term context:

a) A BAU scenario, which broadly follows national level trajectories included in the modelling underpinning the Second National Emissions Reduction Plan (2026-2030)

b) An Accelerated Ambition scenario, which requires some changes in central government policy (but not a complete reversal), as well as some additional local investment; and

c) A High Ambition scenario which would require significant changes in central government policy, and higher levels of local investment into a transition to becoming a lower carbon city.

55 The key differences in the different emissions scenarios through to 2030, and what was modelled in 2023 when the Zero Carbon Plan was adopted, are included under Attachment B. Should Council decide to adopt refreshed targets, further information will be provided on each of the scenarios beyond 2030 at a subsequent Council meeting.

56 Under all scenarios, Dunedin does not achieve the existing 2030 net zero greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane target. The modelled emissions for 2030 under each scenario are shown below in Table 4, along with when net zero is projected to be achieved for each scenario. All values are rounded to the nearest 1000 tCO2e.

Table 4 – Emissions Modelling for net zero greenhouse gases excluding biogenic methane

Emissions Scenario	Actual		Modelled
Emissions Scenario	2018/19 net emissions (tCO2e)	2024/25 net emissions (tCO2e)	2030 net emissions (tCO2e)	Year net zero is projected to be achieved
BAU	705,000	641,000	370,000	~2047
Accelerated Ambition			336,000	~2044
High Ambition			303,000	~2042

57 Emissions for biogenic methane have also been modelled through to 2050. This shows Dunedin is on track to meet the current target to reduce biogenic methane emissions by 10% by 2030 (with emissions modelling indicating a 16% reduction by 2030).

58 If Council resolves to retain a net zero greenhouse gases target, and to include biogenic methane within an overall target rather than have a separate biogenic methane reduction target, no emissions modelling scenario achieves a net zero all greenhouse gases target by 2050.

Summary

59 The information presented in this report confirms that Dunedin has made measurable progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions since the adoption of the current city-wide emissions targets in 2019. However, updated emissions modelling indicates the existing 2030 net zero target for all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane is now very unlikely to be achieved. The table below summarises the key findings that underpin the options presented to Council and the decision sought through this report.

Key question	Summary
Has Dunedin reduced emissions?	Yes. Gross emissions have reduced by 13% between 2018/19 and 2024/25.
Is the current 2030 net zero target likely to be achieved?	Updated modelling indicates it is very unlikely.
Is the biogenic methane target on track?	Yes. The 2030 methane target has effectively been achieved based on the 2024/25 inventory.
Does the Zero Carbon Plan remain relevant?	Yes. The key shifts and action areas remain appropriate despite changes in context.
What decision is Council being asked to make?	Whether to retain the current target or adopt a refreshed approach. This report seeks a decision on the type of target only; a future report will address the level of ambition.

OPTIONS

60 This report presents five main options on the type of Dunedin emissions target for Council to consider:

a) Retain the current targets

b) A single year net zero target (in line with the current target format, new target year)

c) A single year gross emissions reduction target, with no net zero claim

d) A budget envelope approach, defining an emissions limit over a defined period; and

e) A two stage target, with a near term gross emissions focus, and a long-term net zero target

61 A decision is also sought on whether to keep a separate biogenic methane target.

Overall Target: Option One – Retain existing targets

62 Council adopted the following emissions targets for Dunedin in 2019:

a) net zero emissions of all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane by 2030, and

b) 24% to 47% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2050, including 10% reduction below 2017 biogenic methane emissions by 2030.

63 Council could resolve to retain the existing targets, rather than consider adopting a refreshed target.

64 While many city/district level targets elsewhere have aimed for net zero emissions later than 2030, the Mayor of London previously set a target for London to be net zero by 2030. London faces similar challenges to Dunedin in terms of the achievability of their net zero 2030 target.[14]

Advantages

· The existing targets are embedded into current strategies, including the Zero Carbon Plan

· The existing targets have a clear target date and ambition, and explicitly recognise the different warming impacts of methane by having a separate biogenic methane target

· The existing targets for biogenic methane were previously aligned with New Zealand’s national methane policy, however those targets have since been amended by Central Government

Disadvantages

· A single target year is very sensitive to single year timing effects, particularly relating to forestry harvesting cycles

· Focus on a single target year suggests Dunedin either passes or fails depending on whether the target is met. In reality every tonne of greenhouse gas emissions avoided helps the global effort to reduce the impact of climate change

· Emissions modelling shows Dunedin is highly unlikely to meet the 2030 net zero all greenhouse gases other than biogenic methane part of the target. This creates credibility risks continuing to refer to an unachievable target

· A single year target, which splits out biogenic methane, is less aligned with emerging international best practice than other target options (emerging best practice avoids gas specific, single year targets)

Overall Target: Option Two - A single year net zero target

65 While the net zero all other gases part of the current 2030 targets is highly unlikely to be met, Council could decide to adopt an amended target year but follow the same format (have a single year net zero target).

66 A single year net zero target is relatively common, with the following examples used in New Zealand:

a) Christchurch City Council – has a Net Zero 2045 target for Christchurch, with a separate biogenic methane target

b) Far North District Council – has set a Net Zero 2050 target for the Far North, in line with New Zealand’s overall target

Advantages

· This option has similar advantages to Option One.

· This option has the advantage over Option One that a refreshed target year can be selected based on what emissions modelling shows is a plausible target to aim for

Disadvantages

· This option has similar disadvantages to Option One.

Overall Target: Option Three – Single Gross Emissions Reduction Target (with no net zero claim)

67 While the current target seeks to balance all greenhouse gases emitted in Dunedin (excluding biogenic methane) by 2030, a refreshed target could focus on reducing gross emissions only.

68 This option would involve Council specifying a gross emissions reduction target by a specified year. It could include all gases, and not separate out biogenic methane. Adopting a target in this form would mean making no commitment to a long-term net zero greenhouse gases position for Dunedin.

69 Hamilton City Council have adopted a target in this format, aiming to reduce gross emissions 82% by 2050.

Advantages

· This type of target is very clear and intuitive.

· A gross reduction target encourages tangible action to reduce emissions from stationary energy, transport, industry, and waste.

· Mitigates the risk of over-reliance on forestry sequestration, or future technologies to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

Disadvantages

· May appear less ambitious than a net zero commitment.

· Does not explicitly plan for or encourage carbon removals, which will likely be necessary to address residual emissions long-term, and absorb current emissions in the transition to becoming a low carbon city

· Poorly aligned with international “net zero” emissions narratives.

· Does not account for the significant levels of carbon sequestration already occurring within Dunedin’s territorial area

Overall Target: Option Four – A budget-envelope (carbon budget) approach

70 Under this option, Council would adopt cumulative emissions budgets over a defined period (for example, five, 10, or 15 years). This could be a budget for the total gross emissions over a specified period, or it could be a measure of the total net emissions (gross emissions minus sequestration from things like forestry).

71 Performance would be measured against cumulative emissions over time, rather than emissions in a single year.

72 This approach is not currently used by local authorities in New Zealand, however it is used as a framework to set five yearly emissions budgets for New Zealand nationally. It is used internationally by local authorities, including but not limited to London, Oslo, and Stockholm County.

73 An example of a territorial budget envelope target is Stockholm’s emissions budget for 2024-2040, which allows a maximum of 9 million tCO2e in that period (net emissions).[15]

Advantages

· Strong alignment with climate science (as cumulative emissions matter more than hitting a target in one year)

· Handles uncertainty and volatility better than single year targets

· Supported by international best practice, including C40 and Leading Cities

· Reduces end year loading/reliance on offsets close to a single target year

· Well suited to forestry harvest cycles and large land areas (such as Stockholm County)

· Aligns with New Zealand’s national emissions budget framework

Disadvantages

· Less intuitive for public audiences

· Requires strong governance to monitor performance over time

· Has a higher communications and capability burden than a single target year

· Not yet used by other New Zealand territorial authorities

Overall Target: Option Five – A Two Stage Target: Near-term gross emissions reduction, long-term net zero

74 The final option presented is to adopt a near-term gross emissions reduction target and a long-term net zero ambition target. A two-stage target would prioritise gross emissions reductions in the short term, with carbon removals balancing residual emissions over the longer term.

Advantages

· Provides clear framing to focus on gross emissions reductions now, and to balance remaining emissions in the longer term

· Mirrors global best practice, particularly for organisations (having a short-term focus on gross emissions reductions)

· Reduces short term dependence on carbon removals

· Allows long-term planning for sequestration

· Mirrors the format of DCC’s organisational emissions reduction targets

· Strongly aligned with climate science, in that efforts to reduce emissions over the next 5 to 10 years are crucial to limit the effects of climate change

Disadvantages

· Has the potential to make the net zero portion of the target seem less urgent, due to the target being “far away”

· Requires careful monitoring to ensure that the short-term gross emissions target is not weakened by expectations around future removals

Biogenic Methane: Option One – Keep Separate from all other greenhouse gases target

75 The current Dunedin emissions targets keep biogenic methane separate from all other greenhouse gases. Council could decide to keep biogenic methane separate in refreshed city-wide targets.

Advantages

· Consistent with national level targets

· Recognises that methane has a different warming impact on the atmosphere to long lived greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide

· Consistent with current target structure

Disadvantages

· Less aligned with some international best practice guidance, which avoids having gas specific targets

Biogenic Methane: Option Two – Include in overall target

76 Council could decide to include biogenic methane within one overall emissions reduction target for Dunedin.

Advantages

· Better aligned with some international best practice guidance than a split biogenic methane target

Disadvantages

· Does not align with New Zealand policy on having a separate biogenic methane reduction target

· If biogenic methane is included within an overall emissions target, this does not acknowledge the short-lived warming impact of methane compared with other long lived greenhouse gases

· Does not align with the current target structure, so may have a higher communications burden than keeping biogenic methane separate

NEXT STEPS

77 Following council decisions on the preferred type of Dunedin’s city-wide target, options for the level of ambition of the type of target chosen will be presented to Council for consideration at a subsequent Council meeting in 2026.

SUMMARY OF CONSIDERATIONS

Fit with purpose of Local Government

Implementation of the Zero Carbon Policy, Zero Carbon Plan and DCC’s Emissions Management and Reduction Plan promotes the economic, social and environmental wellbeing of communities in the present and for the future, by facilitating the transition to a low carbon economy.

Fit with strategic framework

Other relevant strategies/plans include Zero Carbon Plan, DCC Emissions Management and Reduction Plan, Zero Carbon Policy. As noted within the report, while the Zero Carbon Plan maps out a path for Dunedin to achieve net zero emissions by 2030, and this report considers options for a refreshed target, the key shifts required for Dunedin to become a low/zero net emissions city, and the action areas for DCC to support that transition, remain unchanged.

Māori Impact Statement

A Treaty of Waitangi analysis was prepared previously as part of the Zero Carbon work programme. This indicated that, in general, taking action to reduce emissions is aligned with Treaty of Waitangi obligations because a wide range of taonga are at risk from climate change. However, individual projects will need to consider Te Taki Haruru and incorporate mana whenua and mātāwaka inputs when delivered.

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, resilience of the local economy, and environmental indicators such as improved air quality.

LTP/Annual Plan / Financial Strategy /Infrastructure Strategy

References to the 2030 Zero Carbon targets are embedded throughout the 9 Year Plan 2025-2034. If Council decides to adopt new Dunedin emissions reduction targets, reference to these new targets will be incorporated into the Long Term Plan 2027-2037.

Financial considerations

There are no direct financial implications of this decision. Council decisions on actions to support reducing Dunedin emissions will be considered as part of Long Term Plan processes.

Significance

This decision is considered low significance as the proposed changes seek to give effect to existing resolutions of Council, and as noted in the report staff have assessed that should Council decide on adopting refreshed targets, this does not fundamentally change the priority action areas for DCC as outlined in the Zero Carbon Plan. Any changes to the emissions targets Council set for Dunedin will be incorporated into consultation on the Long Term Plan 2027-2037 for community engagement and feedback.

Engagement – external

There was significant external engagement during 2023 in the development of the Zero Carbon Plan. There has been limited external engagement in relation to options to refresh Dunedin’s emissions targets, given adopting refreshed targets does not fundamentally change the key shifts needed for Dunedin to reduce its emissions, and the priority action areas for DCC to support emissions reduction at the city level.

DCC’s Zero Carbon team have engaged with Zero Carbon Alliance partners on target refresh options, given the Memorandum of Understanding for the Zero Carbon Alliance includes direct reference to the 2030 city emissions targets. Should Council resolve to adopt refreshed targets, this is not anticipated to change the overall purpose of the Zero Carbon Alliance, or the level of urgency required for both organisational and city-wide emissions reduction efforts across the 6 partners.

Engagement - internal

A range of teams have been informed that Council will be considering refreshed Dunedin emissions targets, with specific engagement as necessary to update emissions modelling scenarios assumptions (for instance, engagement with Transport).

Risks: Legal / Health and Safety etc.

There may be reputational risks for the DCC associated with perceptions of non-delivery on emissions reduction ambitions, given the net zero 2030 target adopted by Council in 2019 is considered unachievable.

Conflict of Interest

No conflict of interest has been identified.

Community Boards

There are no direct implications identified for Community Boards relating to this decision.

[1] Total gross emissions refers to all emissions released into the atmosphere within an organisational or city boundary. It doesn’t include emissions removed from the atmosphere from forestry (known as sequestration). Total net emissions refers to total gross emissions less emissions removed from the atmosphere.

[2] Total gross/net emissions excluding biogenic methane refers to all emissions less biogenic methane emissions (in line with the Zero Carbon 2030 target).

[3] These results are based on livestock and fertiliser data for Dunedin City from the 2017 Agricultural Census (StatsNZ), with regional data covering the subsequent years used to estimate the change in livestock and fertiliser use since 2017. The approach has known limitations, as changes in agriculture in the Otago region may not reflect changes in the Dunedin City area.

[5] Dunedin had net emissions of 8tCO2e/capita in 2024/25. In the year to March 2025, Infometrics estimate Dunedin’s GDP per capita as being NZ$67,405. The SBTN guide refers to high income cities as having per capita GDP above $US15,000, which equates to approximately $NZ25,000 based on recent exchange rates.
