HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Corporate
and Strategic Committee
Wednesday 22 April 2015
Subject: HBRIC Ltd Draft
Statement of Intent 2015-16
Reason for Report
1. To meet Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) legislative timeframes, the
Hawke’s Bay Regional Investment Company (HBRIC Ltd) is required to submit
its Draft Statement of Intent (SoI) to Council (as shareholder) by 1 March
2015. The Draft SoI was approved by the HBRIC Board in February 2015 and received
by Council on 27 February 2015. It is now presented to Council for its
consideration.
Background
2. In accordance with the LGA, HBRIC Ltd considers any comments
received from Council prior to submitting the final SoI for Council’s
approval by 30 June.
Changes to SOI from 2014-15
3. A marked up version of the Draft SoI is appended, as Attachment 1,
for ease of seeing the changes that have been made.
4. The principal modifications are to sections 3 (Objectives) and 4
(Nature and Scope of Activities) where there is currently considerable overlap
and duplication between the two sections. Some items in each of the sections
have been moved to the other section to form a consistent hierarchy between
objectives and activities.
5. Section 3 (Objectives) now has four high level objectives and a
‘balancing-objectives’ statement.
6. Section 4 (Nature and Scope of Activities) now has significantly
reduced duplication from previous SoIs.
7. Under section 4 in the commentary on the RWSS some historical detail
has been removed and replaced with Council’s investment decision of 25
June 2014 and the associated Conditions Precedent regarding that
investment.
8. In section 5 (Corporate Governance) under “Board Composition
and Fees” historical details have been removed.
9. Consequential changes to the HBRIC-approved draft may also need to
be considered as a consequence of changes to financial close.
10. As with
previous draft SoIs the details in the financial sections are projections only
at this time and subject to confirmation before the submission of the final
version to Council.
Decision Making
Process
11. Council
is required to make a decision in accordance with the requirements of the Local
Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements
contained in Part 6 Sub Part 1 of the Act in relation to this item and have
concluded the following:
11.1. The decision
does not significantly alter the service provision or affect a strategic asset.
11.2. The use of
the special consultative procedure is not prescribed by legislation.
11.3. The decision
does not fall within the definition of Council’s policy on significance.
11.4. The decision
is not inconsistent with an existing policy or plan.
11.5. Given the
nature and significance of the issue to be considered and decided, and also the
persons likely to be affected by, or have an interest in the decisions made,
Council can exercise its discretion and make a decision without consulting
directly with the community or others having an interest in the decision.
|
Recommendations
1. That the Corporate and Strategic Committee
receives the HBRIC Ltd Draft Statement of Intent.
The Corporate and Strategic Committee recommends that Council:
2. Agrees that the decisions to be made are not significant under the
criteria contained in Council’s adopted policy on significance and that
Council can exercise its discretion under Sections 79(1)(a) and 82(3) of the
Local Government Act 2002 and make decisions on this issue without conferring
directly with the community and persons likely to be affected by or to have
an interest in the decision due to the nature and
significance of the issue to be considered and decided.
3. Undertakes to provide any comments on the Draft SoI to HBRIC Ltd
by 1 May 2015 (LGA Sch8 cl3) to enable delivery of the completed Statement of
Intent to Council on or before 30 June 2015.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Corporate
and Strategic Committee
Wednesday 22 April 2015
SUBJECT: HBLASS Draft Statement of Intent 2015-16
Reason for Report
1. To comply with Schedule 8 of the Local Government Act 2002 the Board
of Hawke’s Bay LASS Limited, a Council Controlled Organisation, must prepare
and submit a draft Statement of Intent to its shareholders for adoption.
Discussion
2. In accordance with the requirements of Schedule 8 of the Local
Government Act each Council must consider the draft Statement of Intent. The
draft Statement of Intent, for which approval is being sought, was received by
Council on 6 March 2015 and covers the period for 2015-16. The final SoI must
be approved by Council by 30 June 2015.
3. The draft Statement of Intent is appended as Attachment 1.
4. Matters for Council’s consideration could particularly (but
not exclusively) include further activities it wishes to see considered by the
Board for investigation. As a shareholder Council can then seek the input of
these activities into the final Statement of Intent.
5. The draft Statement of Intent is almost identical to the 2014-15
SoI. The key change is in the section on Future Developments where the Board
has noted a review of document archival arrangements with the shareholding
councils.
6. Additional commentary is also provided on page 6 of 9 on HBLASS
becoming a vehicle to assist all five councils in meeting the obligations for
service delivery reviews that are required under the Local Government Act. This
requirement was inserted through a change to the legislation in 2014.
7. Progress has been made on joint procurement initiatives in the
current year. This will be reported on in the Annual Report at the conclusion
of the financial year. However it is worth noting that the five Hawkes Bay
councils, have saved $930,000 in insurance premiums for the coming financial
year. This has occurred through a mega-collaboration by Local Authority Shared Services companies Manawatu-Wanganui LASS (MW
LASS), Bay of Plenty LASS (BOP LASS), Hawke’s Bay LASS (HB LASS) and a
West Coast Group of Councils to tender collectively for Insurance Brokerage and
Risk Management services. Across the twenty-five councils the saving is
more than $3million, with $930,000 of this being in Hawke’s Bay.
Decision Making
Process
8. Council is required to make a decision in accordance with the
requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed
the requirements contained in Part 6 Sub Part 1 of the Act in relation to
this item and have concluded the following:
8.1. The decision does not significantly alter the service provision or
affect a strategic asset.
8.2. The use of the special consultative procedure is not prescribed by
legislation.
8.3. The decision does not fall within the definition of Council’s
policy on significance.
8.4. The persons affected by this decision are ratepayers in the
region.
8.5. The decision is not inconsistent with an existing policy or plan.
8.6. Given the nature and significance of the issue to be considered and
decided, and also the persons likely to be affected by, or have an interest in
the decisions made, Council can exercise its discretion and make a decision
without consulting directly with the community or others having an interest in
the decision.
|
Recommendations
1. That the Corporate and Strategic Committee receives the draft Statement of Intent of HB LASS for 2015-16.
The Corporate and Strategic Committee recommends that Council:
2. Agrees that the decisions to be made are not significant under the
criteria contained in Council’s adopted policy on significance and that
Council can exercise its discretion under Sections 79(1)(a) and 82(3) of the
Local Government Act 2002 and make decisions on this issue without conferring
directly with the community and persons likely to be affected by or to have
an interest in the decision due to the nature and
significance of the issue to be considered and decided.
3. Undertakes to provide any comments on the Draft SOI to HB LASS Ltd
by 1 May to enable delivery of the completed Statement of Intent to Council
on or before 30 June 2015.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Corporate
and Strategic Committee
Wednesday 22 April 2015
Subject: Hawke’s Bay
Sports Facilities Plan
Reason for Report
1. The
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Council has prepared and adopted the
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Facilities Plan. The local authorities,
including the Regional Council, who have contributed to its preparation are now
invited to adopt the Plan.
2. This request
arises from the need to ensure coordinated regional planning to maximise the
use of existing sports facilities and plan for future sport facility provision.
Background
3. In 2011 the
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Council (HBRSC) was established as a forum of
members directly involved in the provision of sport and active recreation for
the people of Hawke’s Bay. Representation on the HBRSC includes
councillor and officer representatives from territorial authorities and the
regional council, sporting organisations, and other significant contributors to
sport, such as the Pettigrew-Green Arena. Chaired by Sport Hawke’s Bay
the HBRSC has a role influencing how the sport facility network can best meet
the needs of the region. It is not a decision-making forum.
4. In
2012, SGL Consulting; in its report “Guidelines for the Sustainable
Management of Community Recreation Faculties;” identified the following
issues confronting territorial authorities, which have relevance for
Hawke’s Bay:
4.1. A lack of
planning and policy in the provision and management of facilities
4.2. Many ageing
and declining facilities
4.3. A lack of
capacity to adequately support the quantity of facilities it is responsible for
in their current condition
4.4. Community
demand for modern, high quality facilities.
5. Following the
Mayoral Forum of June 2013 the Sports Council, through a working party, was
mandated to develop a Regional Sports Facilities Plan to ensure that the
Hawke’s’ Bay region takes a region-wide view of the provision,
development and support of sport and recreation infrastructure.
6. In 2014 the
HBRSC commissioned O’Connor Sinclair to undertake a sports facilities
inventory and to capture the associated participation data. This regional
facilities inventory will now be maintained and updated by Sports Hawke’s
Bay. The research was used to inform the development of a Regional Sports
Facilities Plan (the Plan).
7. Adopted by the
HBRSC on 9 March 2015 the Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Facilities Plan
sets out key principals for how the region will work collaboratively for the
implementation of a coordinated and region-wide approach to sport facility
provision. The Plan provides a basis for regional and territorial authority decision
making, and would enable funding agencies to make sound decisions in relation
to the relative merits of various funding applications. The Plan reflects the
various Sports New Zealand national facility plans.
8. The
Hawke’s Bay Sports Facilities Plan is appended as Attachment 1.
The Plan
9. The
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sport Facilities Plan seeks to address the issues
identified above and provides for the future development of a network of sport
facilities that are “fit for purpose” in meeting the diverse needs
of the community.
10. Drawing on the
baseline data, the Plan identifies the four high priority sports facility
developments for the region - gymsports, cricket, indoor court sports and
softball. It also identifies current oversupply of facilities.
11. The Plan
defines key principles in determining future priorities. These are a:
11.1. Network approach
11.2. Collaborative approach
11.3. Facility strategy
approach
11.4. Multi-use approach
11.5. Needs approach.
12. The Plan includes a
decision making process to be applied to all proposed new facilities, which
requires the completion of a better business case. The last step in the process
is the consideration of the most appropriate location for the new facility in
the region.
Next
Steps:
13. Regional endorsement of
the plan has been sought from all local authorities. The Plan has been endorsed
by the HBRSC, Sport Hawke’s Bay Board and adopted by the Central
Hawke’s Bay and Hastings District Councils and Napier City Council. This
endorsement includes a commitment to drive the implementation of the plan, in
collaboration with other local authorities in the region.
14. A Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) has been prepared to align the local authorities and Sport
Hawke’s’ Bay with the decision making processes as outlined in the
Plan. A copy of the MoU is appended as Attachment 2.
15. HBRC has two options:
15.1. To adopt the
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Facilities Plan and sign the MoU
15.2. To not adopt the
Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Facilities Plan or sign the MoU
16. By adopting the Plan HBRC
would be taking a considered and strategic approach, based on reliable data, to
the regional provision of sporting facilities. While HBRC is not a direct
provider of sporting infrastructure within the region it is from time to time
asked by territorial authorities to provide funding assistance for such
infrastructure. Through committing to the development of better business cases
for regional facility priorities HBRC can gain a greater level of assurance on
any proposal submitted for funding and on ensuring good regional decision
making in respect to sport facility development.
17. HBRC may choose to not
adopt the Plan. However this is likely to be viewed unfavourably within the
region given the merits of the proposed regional, collegial approach.
Decision Making Process
18. Council
is required to make a decision in accordance with the requirements of the Local
Government Act 2002 (the Act). Staff have assessed the requirements
contained in Part 6 Sub Part 1 of the Act in relation to this item and have
concluded the following:
18.1. The decision
does not significantly alter the service provision or affect a strategic asset.
18.2. The use of
the special consultative procedure is not prescribed by legislation.
18.3. The decision
does not fall within the definition of Council’s policy on significance.
18.4. The persons affected by this
decision are all persons with an interest in the provision of regional level
sporting facilities.
18.5. Options that
have been considered are outlined in the paper.
18.6. The decision
is not inconsistent with an existing policy or plan.
18.7. Given the
nature and significance of the issue to be considered and decided, and also the
persons likely to be affected by, or have an interest in the decisions made,
Council can exercise its discretion and make a decision without consulting
directly with the community or others having an interest in the
decision.
|
Recommendations
1. That the Corporate and Strategic Committee receives the report entitled “Hawke’s Bay Regional
Sport Facilities Plan” dated February 2015.
2. The Corporate and Strategic Committee recommends that Council:
2.1. Agrees that the decisions to be made are not significant under the
criteria contained in Council’s adopted policy on significance and that
Council can exercise its discretion under Sections 79(1)(a) and 82(3) of the
Local Government Act 2002 and make decisions on this issue without conferring
directly with the community and persons likely to be affected by or to have an
interest in the decision due to the nature and
significance of the issue to be considered and decided.
2.2. Adopts the Hawke’s Bay Regional Sport Facilities Plan.
2.3. Authorises the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding for the
implementation of the Hawke’s Bay Sports Facilities Plan, on behalf of
Council.

Bay Regional Sports Facilities Plan
Memorandum
of Understanding
Background
The Hawke’s Bay
Sports Council is a forum of members organisations established to provide a
regional and strategic view over the sports sector in Hawke’s Bay.
It is guided by its Terms of Reference which were established in September 2012
and signed by all member organisations.
Following the Mayoral Forum
of June 2013 the Sports Council, through a working party were mandated to
develop a Regional Sports Facilities Plan to ensure that the Hawke’s Bay
region takes a region-wide view of the provision, development and support of
sport and recreation infra-structure.
Adopted by the Sports
Council on 9th March 2015, the Hawke’s Bay Regional Sports Facilities
Plan sets out key principals for how the region will work collaboratively
together for the implementation of a coordinated and region-wide approach to
sport facility provision.
Key
Principals
The following principles will guide decision making on current and
future provision of sport facilities:
Network Approach: Planning of the network to
incorporate a hierarchy of sport facilities to meet a range of different needs
from international to local sport. The Hawke's Bay region will not have a
facility that fits each level of the hierarchy for each sport and no new
facilities will be developed unless they enhance the network.
Collaborative Approach: TAs, schools and sports
within Hawke's Bay region to work collaboratively in planning of the sport facilities
network in order to maximise use of facilities. Opportunities to work
with schools, and to enter into public-private partnerships, is the first
choice and not the last choice when planning for new sport facilities or
meeting existing network shortfalls.
Facility Strategy Approach: The
network must be aligned wherever possible with national and regional sport
facility strategies. To date national strategies have been completed for
aquatics, athletics, basketball, bike, bowls, cricket, football, hockey, indoor
sports and netball.
Multi-Use Approach: The network of sport and
recreation facilities should encompass multi-use of spaces whether on a
seasonal or shared basis to ensure the best use of limited and finite
resources.
Needs Based Approach: Decisions
are based on evidence of need, expressed through Better Business Cases studies
that are peer reviewed. This includes an assessment of regional need,
whole-of-life planning and resourcing, balanced investment in the network and
the economic impact of provision on the wider network.
Good Faith: Each organisation will act in good faith and
for the benefit of the region as a whole.
Decision
Making
The member organisations
will utilize the decision making processes as outlined in the Hawke’s Bay
Regional Sports Facilities Plan as a guiding framework for both current and new
facilities development and agree to work collaboratively through the
Hawke’s Bay Sports Council to facilitate the processes outlined in the
Regional Sports Facilities Plan.

HAWKE’S BAY REGIONAL COUNCIL
Corporate
and Strategic Committee
Wednesday 22 April 2015
SUBJECT: April 2015 Public Transport Update
Reason
for Report
1. This agenda item provides the Committee with an update on
Council’s public transport operations.
General
Information
2. There were 5.7% fewer passenger trips in the first nine months of
the 2014-15 year than the same period last year. Lower petrol prices are
thought to have been the main contributing factor to this, with a litre of 91
octane currently costing around $1.70 a litre, a fall of around 50 cents since
October 2014.
Passenger Trips
3. The graph below shows total passenger trips during the first nine
months of 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15.
Diagram 1 – Passenger Trips –
July to March – 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15

6. Other passenger
classes have shown small decreases of 2-3%. There has been a 200% increase
in the number of tickets sold directly to organisations such as Idea Services
for use by their clients, although overall numbers are not high.
7. This pattern is
consistent with our theory that the drop in patronage has been largely caused
by a decrease in the cost of driving a car. Passengers paying adult fares are
those most likely to have access to a car. Many SuperGold passengers also
drive, but make more use of Supergold free travel when the cost of driving is
high.
8. When passenger
numbers are analysed by route, the following patterns emerge.

Bus Stops
9. There has been no progress to date with regard to a programme for
formalising Napier bus stops.
Realtime Passenger Information
10. Investigations
are ongoing into the ‘TrackABus’ passenger information
system as reported at the last meeting. We are discussing the details of its
application to the Hawke’s Bay bus service with the company. Subject to a
favourable outcome, we will seek approval of the council to implement it here.
The cost can be met from within our existing bus contract budget.
Bikes on Buses
11. There
have been 2118 bikes carried on buses during the first nine months of the
financial year, compared to 2674 during the same period last year.
Bus Service Costs
12. The
following table shows the net cost (after fares and excluding GST) of operating
the goBay bus service during the first nine months of 2012-13, 2013-14 and
2014-15. The costs include base contract costs plus three quarters’ cost
indexation, which accounts for the significant price fluctuations between
months.
