Annual Plan 2019/20 Consultation Document - Our Nelson Special Edition2

Our Long Term Plan (LTP) set four key priorities to guide us over the next ten years. These are: future-proofing core infrastructure, protecting and enhancing our natural environment, developing our city centre, and lifting Council performance. This Annual Plan Consultation Document outlines our continued commitment to delivering a balanced programme of projects that support these priorities.

The LTP also focussed on the importance of working in partnership. Throughout the last year we have continued to work together to strengthen our relationship with iwi and the marae. The Council is committed to continue working with the eight iwi of Te Tau Ihu to progress and strengthen this partnership through collaborative engagement and decision making throughout this next year and beyond.

The Annual Plan also maintains the financial strategy that we consulted on through the LTP. This includes our commitment to carefully manage rate increases and debt levels within capped levels. These caps were set at a conservative level while ensuring that we can continue to invest in our city. Our LTP projection for 2019/20 was 3.9% rates increase and $121.5 million Total Net Debt. Caps were set at 4.3% for rates and $173.4 million Total Net Debt for this financial year.

This Annual Plan proposes an average rates rise of 4.2%, which is 0.3% higher than projected, however remains within the rates cap. Total Net Debt is forecast to be $91.9 million, which is $29.6 million less than projected in the Long Term Plan.

A strong area of focus for our Annual Plan 2019/20 is climate change. Council recognises that climate change mitigation and adaptation present key challenges for our region, country and the globe. We need to build our resilience and harness innovation to ensure we can plan and act in a responsive and responsible way. Given the immediacy and scale of the challenge, we propose to deliver some new climate change initiatives this year. This includes work to better understand Council’s and the community’s emissions profile in order to establish a benchmark and identify opportunities to reduce emissions. We are also building resilience to climate-related hazards in the coastal margin where many of us live and work. Regular dialogue with the community,

including business, will enable us to build partnerships that advance our mitigation and adaptation aims.

We also continue our focus on the City Centre. This year we will design and scope a range of projects to support and develop existing precincts and link them to Nelson’s outstanding natural and cultural environment. We are also working to improve walkability and liveability, and encourage high quality development and investment. Building on the success of the upper Trafalgar Street summer closure, a series of trials will be undertaken to use laneways, and promote hospitality and events. This will contribute to the City Centre being an exciting and attractive place to enjoy throughout the year. It will also build momentum as we work towards a refreshed City Centre Plan.

Outside of the City Centre, we are continuing to invest in the wide range of parks and recreation facilities that offer so much enjoyment to the community. This includes ongoing weed control in the Grampians Reserve, and investigation of an all-weather artificial turf.

Council recognises we need to support all of our citizens, including the most vulnerable, so a $50,000 increase in our funds allocation is proposed to support social development partnerships in Nelson.

Many Nelson residents face difficult circumstances because they can’t find appropriate housing. Council has participated in two well-attended housing forums to discuss what can be done by a wide range of organisations and businesses to tackle this issue. Alongside this, Council has been considering the best way to achieve much needed investment in our own community housing portfolio. You’ll see there is an opportunity to give your views on the future of our community housing on page 36 of the Consultation Document.

Council’s ability to deliver a range of high-quality amenities and services to our community relies on a well-resourced and capable Council. The Chief Executive’s foreword outlines his advice on how we can achieve this.

I encourage you to have your say on the proposals outlined in this document and to put forward your ideas to help us support a thriving Nelson Whakatu. Your views are essential as we arrive at the right balance of projects to meet the interests and aspirations of our residents.

Our region continues to deliver outstanding opportunities to live well but in recent times we have also faced some big challenges. I am looking to the year ahead with renewed confidence and optimism that we are up to the challenges. That optimism is based on the incredible spirit demonstrated by the community in drawing together and supporting each other during last year’s storm event and this year’s fires and water shortage. That sense of whanaungatanga (connection and working together) bodes very well as we look to deliver on this year’s Annual Plan, tackle the climate change challenge, and maintain our long term aspirations for this special corner of the world - Nelson the smart little city - he taone torire a Whakatu.

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S MESSAGE For some time prior to the development of the Long Term Plan (LTP) Council had been concerned that, although very committed, our staff were facing unsustainable volumes of work. This had significant implications for their ability to deliver for the community and, in many cases, also for their individual wellbeing. Internal surveys told us that, while staff were proud of Nelson and want to serve the community, too many were dissatisfied with the Nelson City Council as a place to work. Staff turnover rates were consequently high, at 18.7% per annum. Something needed to change.

To address this, Council identified lifting performance as one of four top priorities in our LTP. We have already set about appointing new staff in critical roles, addressing pay disparities, and improving systems to ensure greater delivery and accountability. However, the process is not yet complete. The Long Term Plan proposed a three year period to address staffing issues, but this Annual Plan is proposing that this work be accelerated.

Investing in the retention of existing staff and recruitment of additional staff is essential if Council is to fulfil its commitments to Nelson

and position our city effectively now and into the future. On behalf of our community, we want to fully capitalise on opportunities to maintain and enhance Nelson as a first rate place to live, work, and visit. We seek your support in enabling us to do so.

Te¯na¯ koutou katoa CLIMATE CHANGE AND OUR ENVIRONMENTREGIONAL MITIGATION, ADAPTATION, INNOVATION AND RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF CLIMATE CHANGECouncil recognises that climate change presents key challenges for our region, and will drive a need for greater mitigation (reducing net greenhouse gas emissions), adaptation (adjusting to the effects of climate change), innovation and resilience. This year’s high temperatures, drought and fires, as well as last year’s extreme storm events, have brought into sharper relief the need to accelerate our work to cut emissions and enhance resilience to the impacts of climate change. In the Long Term Plan we budgeted $58,000 for resilience and

sustainability initiatives in 2019/20. We propose to add an additional $42,000 for new climate change initiatives that will commence this year.

The case for a stronger focus on climate change is supported not only by recent experience, but by a range of external sources outlining the significance and scale of the issue. This includes Local Government New Zealand’s 2019 report on the economic impacts of sea level rise, which makes it clear climate change needs to be a top priority and should not be left for future

generations to manage. The report identified Nelson as one of the South Island’s priority areas in terms of the financial implications of sea level rise on water management and on buildings and facilities.

Addressing climate change now, urgently, gives us the greatest potential to manage risks and harness economic opportunities for innovation and diversification.

SOLID WASTE• Joint landfill fees

(set by Nelson City and Tasman District councils) are proposed to be $163 per tonne (including GST). The cost in 2018/19 was $141 per tonne (including GST) so this is a proposed increase of $22 per tonne. This is due to increased costs for the Emission Trading Scheme, contract renewal and the local disposal levy paid to each Council.

Your feedback:Give us your views. See the full Consultation Document for more information.

WASTEWATER• Continue relining

wastewater pipes (wastewater renewals) which has been effective in reducing the infiltration of groundwater. Priority projects include Stansell Avenue, Princes Drive, St Vincent, Bronte, Collingwood, Halifax and Halstead Streets. Investment of $1,018,000 which compares to $1,034,000 budgeted in the LTP.

• Wastewater (model) calibration and flow monitoring is required with an additional proposed budget of $260,000 in capital expenditure in 2019/20. This is an important tool to help improve decision making around inflow and infiltration, growth, and effects from climate change.

ENVIRONMENT• Increase funding

for Biosecurity and Regional Pest Management Plan implementation for the eradication and control of Taiwan Cherry and Sabella (Mediterranean fanworm). The cost of effectively controlling these pests is expected to be around $40,000.

Our proposed plans include central activation and an urban park to bring

These themes will be brought together in a City Centre Vision and City Centre Plan. This will serve as a framework to help prioritise projects in the City Centre.

Building on the success of the Upper Trafalgar Street summer closure, we will roll out a series of trials over the next couple of years to engage the City Centre community, use laneways, promote hospitality and events, celebrate winter, and build momentum for future developments.

people to the City Centre for longer periods of time and therefore support local businesses, including cafes, restaurants and retail.

Our City Centre is relatively compact so it makes sense to focus on how people move around the city, ensuring that people can get where they need to go easily on foot. These projects will be considered alongside improved mobility and walking spaces around the city and public transport options. Our work programme will focus on the following six themes:

1. DESTINATION NELSON

A people-focused City Centre expressing its unique identity hosting major events, and supporting and growing existing precincts.

3. BLUE GREEN HEART

Integrating frameworks linking Nelson’s City Centre to its iconic natural environment in order to deliver meaningful social spaces with areas that appeal to all ages.

5. LIVEABLE CENTRE

Trends across New Zealand show a desire by some to live in close proximity to safe urban centres that offer a diverse selection of amenities including retail, restaurants and bars, and cultural and arts facilities.

2. WALKABLE NELSON

Well designed areas and laneway links in order to easily move about the City Centre on foot.

4. SMART DEVELOPMENT

Attract and enable high quality development that supports our vision and positively contributes to the City Centre.

6. CLEVER BUSINESSSupporting local businesses that contribute to Nelson’s identity and sense of place to attract customers and visitors to the City Centre.

This year, we are proposing to launch Meanwhile Spaces, a concept of using temporarily vacant buildings to house arts organisations, start-ups, community organisations and charities. An additional $50,000 is proposed as part of the delivery of this project in 2019/20.

• A recent review concluded there is a clear demand for a youth-centred facility in Stoke for young people to meet and socialise. Consistent with LTP funding, we have allocated $51,000 for detailed design and consultation and $501,000 in 2020/21 for construction.

• The proposed water sports building at the marina had a budget of $600,000 in 2018/19, with Council agreeing earlier in the year to carry forward $555,000 to 2019/20. This was reduced to $150,000, to allow for comprehensive design work and consideration of options to be completed prior to decisions being made on the project.

• Council agreed it would continue to support Natureland Wildlife Trust in the LTP 2018-28 with an operating grant of $248,000 in 2018/19 and an annual grant of $170,000 per year after this, for 2019/20 and 2020/21. Natureland Wildlife Trust has raised concerns that $170,000 will not be sufficient to continue current operations and requested further funding from Council. Council is seeking public feedback on four options which are summarised below:

1. Council increases funding from $170,000 to $248,000.

2. Natureland reduces the services provided to fit existing budget.

3. Council seeks expressions of interest or tenders from other parties to operate the facility.

4. Natureland Wildlife Trust closes down the facility. $170,000 would still be required in 2019/20.

For more information on these options, see the full Consultation Document.

CORPORATE• The investment in people

has resulted in a higher level of resources available to deliver programmed work and improved Council’s ability to attract and retain staff. These changes have added approximately $1.169 million per annum to Council expenditure in 2019/20, with approximately $882,000 of that to be funded from rates.

Investing in the retention of existing staff and recruitment of additional staff is essential if Council is to fulfil its commitment to the Nelson community and position our city effectively now and into the future.

WHAT WILL MY NEW RATES BE?Council proposes the overall increase in rates required for 2019/20 to be 4.2%.

Following a community consultation period, Council will make decisions about the final Annual Plan 2019/20. Any changes resulting from consultation may affect the final rates and charges. Further information on how Council has calculated the proposed rates is available in the draft Funding Impact Statement and financial information section of the supporting information on Council’s website.

The three yearly revaluation of properties was undertaken on behalf of Council in September 2018 by Quotable Value Limited.

The revaluation is required under the Ratings Valuation Act 1998.

The new values will be used as the basis for assessing rates as from 1 July 2019. The revaluation does not, of itself, generate any additional revenue for Council. The updated base amount means that rates will be spread between ratepayers in different proportions than they were previously.

Generally if the land value for a property has increased by more than the average for the city, the rates on that property will increase by more than the average.

Further information:If you’d like to know what the current and new rating valuation is for your property, you can find out at www.nelson.govt.nz/rates-search/

COMMERCIAL DIFFERENTIAL The commercial differential recognises the additional Council services that businesses receive, such as extra rubbish collection, street sweeping, and events to attract visitors.

Reducing the commercial differential reduces the rates collected from the City Centre and Stoke and allows a re-balancing of the relative rating contributions from commercial and residential properties. It also keeps our Central Business District competitive relative to other centres that do not have such a charge.

In the LTP, Council reduced the commercial differential for 2018/19 for the City Centre and Stoke commercial areas by 0.5%, subject to reassessing this at each Annual Plan. Council is proposing to implement the 0.5% reduction again this year. This will mean that the City Centre and Stoke City Centre rates will increase by less than they would have without this change. Residential rates will increase slightly more as a result of this change.

Council proposes that in 2019/20, 24.1% of total rates are collected from commercial rates (0.5% reduction). With less rates collected from those commercial ratepayers in 2019/20, there will be an increase to residential rates, of 0.4% to 0.8%, depending on land value.

COMMUNITY HOUSING CONSULTATION

WAKATU SQUARE CONSULTATION

This Annual Plan Consultation Document also includes a proposal to amend Council’s Long Term Plan to provide for divesting* Council’s 142 community housing units to a provider who can upgrade and expand the housing.

We recognise the need for social housing continues to grow and is still a very important issue to Council. We have looked at how we can enable more social housing and wellbeing in our community, and think the best option is to work with organisations that bring specialist housing expertise and have opportunities to access government and other funding sources not available to Council.

This proposal also reflects the Council’s desire to work with partners to tackle the big issues facing us and leverage available resources to strengthen the city’s position. For these reasons, Council is consulting on the proposal to divest some or all of its community housing units and the public is invited to submit on the proposal. Details of the proposal can be found on pages 28 to 39 of the Consultation Document which is available on nelson.govt.nz

*What is divesting?

The word ‘divest’ encompasses the sale of assets but also allows for the transfer of assets from Council ownership by other means. Please see the full Consultation Document for more information.

Council has received an approach from an investor interested in purchasing a section of the eastern end of Wakatu Square and Wakatu Lane for the development of an integrated shopping precinct.

Separate consultation on this proposal is being undertaken over the same period as submissions are being sought on the Annual Plan 2019/20 process and community housing. The Statement of Proposal for the Wakatu Square consultation is available on Council’s website and the customer service centre. Members of the public are invited to make submissions on any or all of the consultation processes.

IWI AND COUNCIL PARTNERSHIPCouncil and iwi are committed to working together. In 2019/20, the Iwi-Council Partnership Group will meet quarterly to discuss the review of the joint Memorandum of Understanding between Tangata Whenua o Whakatu and Council, as well as to develop an Iwi Engagement and Partnership Strategy. The Iwi-Council Partnership Group includes representatives of each of the eight Te Tau Ihu (top of the south) iwi (Ngati Kuia, Rangitane, Ngati Apa, Ngati Koata, Ngati Rarua, Ngati Toa, Ngati Tama and Te Ati Awa), the Mayor, and three Council elected members.

A work programme that iwi and the Nelson, Marlborough and Tasman Councils have started to develop for 2019/20, includes economic strategies and applications for funding from the government Provincial Growth Fund.

A key objective for our work together is to improve the relationship between iwi and Council, support communication, and implement a genuine partnership between iwi and Council.

Nelson Tasman Future Development StrategyThe second round of feedback on the Nelson Tasman Future Development Strategy (FDS) will open on 8 April.

Growth forecasts vary, but if we continue to experience high growth, Nelson - Tasman will need to find space for up to 12,000 extra homes over the next 30 years – this is on top of the extra residential land we have already planned for. Along with more houses we’ll need more shops, offices and commercial services.

Using the results of feedback on the FDS collected in January this year, the Councils have developed three potential growth scenarios which they will be seeking further feedback on.

The scenarios are not mutually exclusive and it is

expected the final strategy will incorporate a mix of options. The three scenarios are:

1. Enabling housing choices, while avoiding areas that are likely to be subject to sea level rise

2. Enabling housing choices while avoiding land of high productive value

3. Balanced option: Enabling housing choices while taking into account both these constraints.

BackgroundA Future Development Strategy that covers adjoining Council areas is encouraged under the National Policy Statement on Urban Development Capacity. Its purpose is to ensure that council’s zoning and infrastructure roll outs support projected housing and business growth.

The Strategy sits above and provides direction to Council’s other planning tools such as resource

management plans and policy statements, infrastructure strategies, asset management plans, regional land transport plans and the Long Term Plan.

FeedbackThe feedback period runs from 8 April – 6 May. Feedback can be made through an interactive web map which will be available from 8 April online at nelson.govt.nz or tasman.govt.nz. Copies of the Future Development Strategy information brochure will be available at both Councils’ customer service centres and libraries.

A drop in session for Nelson residents will be held at the Nelson Saturday Market, 9am – 1pm Saturday 13 April.

Parks Week competition winnerThanks to everyone who sent us a photo of their family having fun in one of our parks, to celebrate Parks Week in March.

All the photos were great so we held a random draw and this photo from Cushla Kemp was the winner of the voucher for Pro Karts – Pro Bounce – Pro Combat at Tahunanui.

It’s fair to say, we were a bit starved of some of our favourite parks and reserves, with so many having to close for almost six weeks over summer due to the extreme fire risk.

It’s excellent that we can all get back out and enjoy all our favourite places once more.

Maybe now is a good time to check out somewhere you’ve never been before and try a new walk, ride or place to play.

They’re all listed on our website so if you are looking for inspiration visit nelson.govt.nz (search = parks and reserves) and start exploring all the amazing places around Nelson!

New bridge on the way for Saltwater CreekCouncil has a long-term goal of improving the connections from the city to the sea. Another important step in this process is the replacement of the narrow footbridge at Saltwater Creek, connecting the Maitai River walkway with the QEII bridge underpass.

Heritage Project FundApplications are open for the 2019 – 20 round of Heritage Project funding.

This enables heritage property owners to seek funding for works, i.e. earthquake strengthening, repair or restoration of original heritage fabric, relating to historic buildings or structures. Applications can include professional services.

The Heritage Project Fund is a contestable fund. The 2019 – 20 fund allocation is $107,798 and successful applicants will be notified at the end of June 2019.

Applications are open until 10 May, and owners of heritage properties are being sent information this week. Last year a total of $106,000 was awarded to 14 heritage property owners.

Find out more online at:

Construction is now beginning on site leading up to the installation of the replacement bridge. The new bridge will be three metres wide to cater for pedestrians and people on bikes and mobility scooters. It will feature Glulam timber and visual design themes found elsewhere along the Maitai River walkway.

The new bridge will be located slightly upstream of the current bridge and will provide more security against floods and storms. This also means that the current bridge can remain in use when possible during construction to keep the normal path route open.

Once the new bridge is completed, the old bridge will be removed and reused in a more appropriate site on a Council reserve.

There will be work happening on both sides of the creek and there will only be minor disruption to traffic on the state highway when equipment is going in and out of the north-side work area.

While the bridge, underpass and footpath network will remain open when possible, there will be times when temporary footpath closures and detours are needed. You can stay up-to-date with that on the Nelson City Council Facebook page.

The residential water meter reading round started on 1 April, and will continue for two months.

Please ensure that the area surrounding, and the meter box itself are clear and easily accessible for the meter readers to locate and read.

The meter readers will be wearing vests labelled “Water Meter Reader” and are allowed to read the meters between 7am and 7pm, seven days a week, including Sundays and public

holidays. They also carry ID with them, which you can ask to see.

If your meter is not easily accessible for the readers, e.g. behind a locked gate or if you have dogs, please call our Contractor’s help desk on 027 286 7337, so that suitable arrangements can be made to have the meter read.

All water used through the meter is charged at $2.102 per cubic metre, including GST.

Statements will generally be posted out usually within two weeks of the meter being read. They will be due for payment on 20 June, 2019.

They will be discussing her latest novel: The Imaginary Lives of James Po-neke, longlisted for this year’s Acorn Foundation Fiction Prize in the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards.

The Imaginary Lives of James Po-neke is the tale of an orphaned son of a Ma-ori chief; an ardent student of English; a wide-eyed survivor; a living exhibit; and a young man exploring the savage streets of Victorian London.

Tina is also the author of the short story collection Once Upon a Time in Aotearoa, which was the winner of the Fiction award at Nga- Kupu Ora 2011. Her debut novel Where the Re-kohu Bone Sings, won the Fiction award at the 2014 Nga- Kupu Ora Aotearoa Ma-ori Book Awards, and was longlisted for the Dublin Literary Award 2016.

Waimea Road speed limit recommended to lower to 50km/hThe Works and Infrastructure Committee has recommended that Council approve the proposal to lower the speed limit on the section of Waimea Road from 240m south of Market Road through to 200m north of the Beatson Road roundabout from 70km/h to 50km/h.

Collingwood Street Bridge reopened The Collingwood Street Bridge has reopened to vehicles and pedestrians.

The painting on the top of the bridge has been completed and should protect the steel structure for another 20 years.

In addition to the painting, new LED lights and anti-bird roosting spikes have been installed. While it was closed, a detailed bridge inspection was carried out and structural maintenance repairs have been done.

Work will continue on the underside of the bridge for approximately three weeks.Thanks to everyone for their patience and understanding while the bridge was closed.

Voting Opens for Community Investment Funding Panel NominationsVoting is now open for Community Investment Funding (CIF) Panel positions, with four positions available. The Panel is responsible for reviewing CIF applications and allocating funding on behalf of Council’s Community Services Committee. Select your preferred candidates by Monday 22 April, online at:

If this recommendation is approved by Council at its meeting on 2 May, the lowered speed limit will come into effect four weeks after that date.

Following the public consultation on the proposal, the Committee considered the 89 submissions received and heard from eight submitters in person at a hearing on 6 March.

The majority of submitters (66 per cent) supported reducing the Waimea Road speed limit

from 70km/h to 50km/h. Most of them cited safety reasons for supporting the proposed changes.

Works and Infrastructure Committee Chair Stuart Walker says, “We thank everyone who took the time to give their feedback on this issue. We were reassured that the majority of people shared our safety concerns and we believe that this change will by a significant step towards improving that.”

The final stage of the upgrade to LED lighting throughout Nelson is almost complete.

The last pieces of work are now underway on Waimea Road, which includes relocating and replacing some light poles to achieve the correct level of light needed for this busy road, along with upgrading a number of decorative streetlights around Nelson. There are less than 10 standard street lights still to be replaced. These are ones that have been difficult to get to, either because of vehicle parking or trees, and they will be replaced as soon as practical.

This project has been running since March 2018 and has involved the replacement of almost 4000 streetlights with the new LEDs.

In the rest of the city where the upgrade has taken place, the difference is very noticeable (as shown in the before and after photos), and has made significant safety improvements particularly around intersections.

The LEDs reduce light spill, the light goes where it is needed, on the street and footpath, rather than onto neighbouring properties.

Council has also had very positive feedback from local astronomy enthusiasts. The LEDs reduce the glow in the night sky, making the stars and constellations much easier to see.

The other benefits include

• Increased power savings.

• Reduction in ongoing maintenance costs.

• Environmental benefits from removal of old light fittings

The overall project has been cost effective for Council as significant subsidy funding from the New Zealand Transport Agency was available. This is due to the recognised improvement to road safety that the lights make.

During the installation process there have been some instances of the LED lights having an impact on nearby houses that is outside the normal expected potential impacts. This has been addressed where possible by lowering or repositioning the lights without affecting the street lighting requirements. If anyone is having issues and they haven’t been in touch with Council, please call on 546 0200.

Although the summer months are now behind us, we have much to look forward to as Nelson’s popular Heritage Festival begins on 1 April. It began nine years ago with our first Heritage Week and this Festival is a wonderful way to share and celebrate our city’s rich and varied past.

It’s a true community event and I applaud all the community groups and organisations that make it all happen. The Heritage Festival wouldn’t be the success that it is without your time and effort!

A month of exciting events celebrating Nelson’s unique stories, people and places.

This year’s programme is packed with great reasons to get out and about in April. Many of our favourite events from previous years are back, and we’ve got some new opportunities that you won’t want to miss. There really is something for everyone with live performances, talks, tours and enjoyable activities at a range of locations on offer.

Enjoy! Mayor Rachel Reese
