receives protection from the risk of flooding up to a one per cent Annual
Exceedence Probability (AEP) flood and of river alignment.

these protection measures – i.e. stopbanking, river control and stability of
channel location, are a reduction in the risk of loss of life, limb, land and
capital investment such as orchards, vineyards, residential, commercial,
industrial and supporting infrastructure situated on the Heretaunga Plains.

Risk of Loss
Rateable land
situated within the boundaries of the Hastings District and Napier City
Councils which Council considers at risk from the indirect effects of river
realignment and flood causing loss of infrastructure and general
opportunities to the Community.
(b) Rates for
Drainage Maintenance in specific areas on the Heretaunga Plains
These rates are
set on the estimate of projected valuations of Land Value of those rating
units that receive direct benefit of the specific drainage maintenance.
Rating units
zoned industrial are charged a differential equal to 4 times the normal rate
due to the expected rainfall run-off from these rating units, and their
comparative land values.

insulation.
The aim is to
reduce the particles of polluting smoke in the affected airsheds.
2.22 Rates to Repay Loans to Homeowners for Clean Heat and Insulation
Council has
resolved to provide/facilitate loan funding to assist homeowners for
insulation where this is a shortfall between the cost of insulation (to EECA
standards) and the grants available from EECA and other funders. Further, the
Council will provide loan funding to homeowners in the identified airshed
wishing to install a more efficient form of heating.
The loans for
replacement of open fire or non-compliant wood burners will be 50% interest
free. The loans for insulation which is available to all ratepayers in the
region will be charged interest subject to the prevailing borrowing interest
rate. The total loans plus interest will be repaid over 10 years as a fixed
amount through a Targeted Differential Rate.
The
Differential Rate for each year to apply over a period of up to 10 years
would, for example, equate for a 10 year repayment of $10.00 per $100.00 of
borrowings uplifted by individual ratepayers. In this example, if a ratepayer
borrows $5,200, then the annual Targeted Differential Rate for that ratepayer
would be $520.00 each year for a 10 year period. It is noted that different
calculations would apply where the period of repayment was less than 10
years. The borrowings comprise the loan, interest charge, service fee and
GST.
Pursuant to
Section 16 of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002, the 2011/12 rates are
$173,940 (GST inclusive), and are to be set on the rating units that are servicing
a loan for insulation or clean heat.

Council now directly rates all ratepayers in the region for economic and
