Relevance to Council Plan Goal 4: Organisational Excellence Objective 4.1 Decision making in the best interests of the City Relevance to Public Consultation Policy There is no legislated requirement to consult the public on this matter. Background Council is required under Section 44 (6) of the Local Government Act 1999 to keep a separate record of all delegations and this record should be reviewed least once in every financial year. Analysis of Issues CDAP Since the introduction of the amended delegations requiring that land divisions comprising 20 allotments are assessed by the DAP a clear trend has been noticed in the number of 19 lot land divisions lodged. Industry have been upfront in noting that they consciously lodge smaller divisions in order to expedite the approval process and avoid presenting applications to the DAP. Consequently the lodgement of a number of smaller land divisions has caused a fractured understanding of a given land division as it is assessed in a piecemeal approach. Additionally there is a clear loss in revenue to Council as a result of this trend due through the provision of open space funds. Where a land division is less than 20 allotments the funds raised through the open space levy are sent to the Department for Planning Transport and Infrastructure (DPTI), however where a land division is greater than 20 allotments the funds are directed straight to the Council. Given the trend for smaller divisions, a loss of open space revenue can be directly related to the current delegations. The solution, as Cr Joy has identified is to adjust the allotment trigger from 20 allotments to 200, this will enable staff to assess, with appropriate internal controls in place via the Major Projects Forum, large master planned land divisions and kerb the trend of smaller 19 lot divisions. Delegations Register Due to the large size of the Delegations Register the register has been published under separate cover and made available electronically.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION That the Committee endorse the list of prioritised services (Attachment 1) and the new process as outlined in the Service Standard Mid Term Review (Attachment 2) to take effect in April 2014.

Relevance to Council Plan Goal 4: Organisational Excellence Objective 4.1 Decision making in the best interests of the City Relevance to Public Consultation Policy The public consultation policy does not require Council to consult with the public on this matter. The public will be consulted as part of annual consultation activities relating to the Annual Business Plan. Background After a pilot service in 2012 and 2013, Elected Members have been discussing both current and aspirational Service Standards that Council delivers externally. Currently, the General Purpose Committees are presented with a three step process outlining firstly a current Service Standard and then progressing to an aspirational Service Standard discussion. The third step results in a decision report containing the current and aspirational Service Standards. Between May 2013 and February 2014, 13 of the 45 services have completed this 3 step process:

City Strategy and Enterprises Committee Agenda 43 11 March 2014

Analysis of Issues

At this point in time, 32 Services remain to be presented before all of Council’s Service Standards are finalised. Based on the current 3 step process and the rate of progress, the project is scheduled for completion in July 2015. A Mid Term Review of the project has been undertaken to provide Elected Members with a general progress update, discuss the current process and gain feedback on the project in general. Benefits to date discussed were as follows:

›  Improved baseline data available ›  Elected Member engagement ›  Increased understanding of Service outcome and operational delivery ›  Increased understanding of Service aspirations ›  The journey for demonstrating value for money

Opportunities discussed to change current approach were as follows:

›  Prioritisation of Aspirational Service discussion ›  Focus Service Standards on impact on Committee Targets and other opportunities

(e.g. Annual Budgeting Process) ›  Option to decrease certain services to accommodate for an increased standard for

other services ›  Community Engagement

In order to improve and accelerate the current process, a list of priority services has been identified and discussed at the relevant Committee. The prioritisation of services has been undertaken in line with:

›  Impact on Committee Targets ›  Community expectations ›  Improvements within the business ›  Management Recommendation

Attachment 1 contains the list of those prioritised services to undergo the three step process including a discussion regarding the aspirational standard of this service. The Committee expressed their comfort for the following aspects of the Service Standards project of remain unchanged:

›  Focus of prioritised Service Standards on impact on Committee Targets and other opportunities in accordance with Attachment 1.

›  Whilst reduction in Services is an option, the Community expectations around Service delivery leans the conversation towards increases generally.

›  The current approach to Community Engagement which meets legislative requirements is adequate.

The next Service Standards Quarterly Report will include collated changes for this financial year. At the start of the 2014/15, further prioritisation will be undertaken along with the development of options for Community Engagement and the continued integration with the Annual Budgeting Process.

City Strategy and Enterprises Committee Agenda 44 11 March 2014

Options

Option 1 That the Committee endorse the list of prioritised services (Attachment 1) and the new process as outlined in the Service Standards Mid Term Review (Attachment 2) to take effect in April 2014. Option 2 That no changes to the agreed 3 step process are made as a result of the Service Standards Mid Term Review, with the project adhering to its initial schedule.

Analysis of Options Option 1 The services prioritised by the Committee in February 2014 will undergo the agreed 3 Step Process, including the aspirational discussion over the coming months. All non-prioritised services will be presented as current to the Committee before the end of 2014, with the option of prioritising services for which to have an aspirational discussion. All external services provided to the community will have a document current standard before the end of 2014. Option 2 All outstanding services will undergo the agreed 3 step process. Based on this approach, the documentation of current and discussion of aspirational service standards will be completed mid-2015. Financial Implications Option 1 There are no direct financial implications, however Option 1 would translate into a shortened schedule and allow the project to be complete 6 months prior to the current schedule. Thus, this option would save time of both Elected Members and staff. Option 2 There are no direct financial implications; the project would finish in 2015, as scheduled initially. Preferred Options and Justification Option 1 is the preferred option as it allows for the prioritised services to be presented from April 2014 onwards. The amended process would allow for the project to be completed before the end of 2014, which is six months earlier than currently scheduled.
