Adoption of Contributions Policy and Revenue and Financing Policy Page 11

Adoption of Contributions Policy and Revenue and Financing Policy

File No.: CP2015/11615

Purpose1. To recommend the adoption of the Contributions Policy and the Revenue and Financing

Policy.

Executive Summary2. The draft Contributions Policy has been amended to reflect policy decisions agreed by the

Budget Committee on 7 May 2015 and the capital expenditure in the budget approved by theGoverning Body on 8 May 2015.

3. The key policy change was to provide for an increased number of funding areas for parksand stormwater. Further work will be undertaken alongside the Annual Plan 2016/2017 tofurther increase the number of parks funding areas.

4. Legislation requires the council to include a revenue and financing policy in its long-termplan. The Governing Body must adopt this policy before the adoption of the Long-term Plan2015-2025.

5. The attached Revenue and Financing Policy has been updated to reflect the councildecisions on solid waste funding and fees and charges at the 7 and 8 May meeting, thefinancial implications of the council’s depreciation funding policy and to identify targetedrates as a funding source for relevant activities.

Recommendation/sThat the Governing Body:

a) adopt the Contributions Policy (Attachment A to the agenda report).

b) adopt the Revenue and Financing Policy (Attachment B to the agenda report).

CommentsBackground

6. The Governing Body adopted a draft Contributions policy for public consultation alongside

the Long-term Plan 2012-2025 in November 2015. Changes proposed in the draft policyincluded:

increasing the number of funding areas

increasing prices annually as identified in schedule 3 of the policy

changing the definitions and demand factors for some development types including

setting residential development charges based on house size as well as type

including Kaumatua housing in the retirement unit development type

aligning the policy to reflect the 2014 amendments to the Local Government Act that

mean development contributions can no longer fund certain community infrastructuregrowth projects and that non-residential developments cannot be charged forreserves.

Item 11

Governing Body

25 June 2015


7. The Governing Body adopted a draft Revenue and Financing policy for public consultationas part of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025. Key changes included in the draft policy:

only providing a prescribed process for annual adjustments to regulatory fees

changes in the funding mix for services arising from decisions made as part of thedevelopment of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025

incorporation of elements of the rating policy previously presented separately.

Feedback

8. Over 200 points of feedback were received on the Contributions Policy from consultationincluding an event held for the development community. The feedback generally supportedthe proposed changes. In particular feedback sought an increase in funding areas to betteralign the expenditure of contributions with the area where they were collected.

9. No feedback was received on the Revenue and Financing Policy.

Contributions policy response

10. Further analysis has been undertaken to assess the demand for infrastructure from differenttypes of developments at different locations across the Auckland region since the adoptionof the draft policy.

11. After consideration of the feedback received and the updated analysis, the 7 May meeting ofthe Budget Committee agreed the following changes to the policy:

replacing the single funding area for reserve acquisition and the seven funding areasfor reserve development and community infrastructure with four funding areas for eachof these activities

increasing the funding areas for stormwater from 17 to 22 to reflect the updatedanalysis of existing infrastructure and the hydrology and topography of different areas

reducing the unit of demand factor for attached dwellings (low rise) to reflect lowerinfrastructure demand from high density units

reducing the unit of demand factors for retirement village units and aged care rooms toexclude costs for sports fields and playgrounds

allowing Council the discretion to offer reduced contribution charges for stormwaterwhere developers provide infrastructure which reduces their demand for councilprovided infrastructure.

12. The funding areas for reserve acquisition, reserve development and communityinfrastructure have been proposed as an interim step before the creation of more localisedfunding areas for these activities. This step creates Tier 1 and Tier 2 funding areas: Auckland wide, Greenfield, Urban and Rural. The Budget Committee agreed that staff willdevelop a proposal to create 14 localised Tier 3 funding areas for these activities, forconsideration alongside the Annual Plan 2016/2017.

Revenue and financing policy response

13. The Revenue and financing policy has been updated to reflect decisions made at the 7 and8 May meeting of the Budget committee. It has also been updated to reflect the financialimplications (on projected operating revenues and expenses) of the council’s policy to moveto fully funding deprecation by 2025, as discussed in a separate report in this agenda on theadoption of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025.

Consideration

Significance and engagement

14. Adoption of this Contributions policy is a significant decision. The proposed policy wasconsulted on alongside the Long-term Plan 2015-2025.

15. The proposed amendments to the Revenue and financing policy are not significant. Theproposed policy was included in the materials supporting consultation on the Long-term Plan2015-2025.

Local Board views and implications

16. A detailed report of local board views is in this agenda along with the full text of theirresolutions on these issues. Any feedback relevant to the Contributions policy and therevenue and financing policy will be reported at the meeting.

Māori impact statement

17. The council does not hold information on the ethnicity of developers. The impact on Māoriwill be similar to the impact on other residents and ratepayers.

18. The council offers a grants scheme that provides funds equivalent to the cost ofdevelopment contributions for qualifying papakāinga housing. Māori will also benefit fromthe lower demand factor proposed for Kaumatua housing from its inclusion in the retirementunit category rather than the standard dwelling type.

Implementation

19. Implementation issues were considered in the development of the Contributions policy andthe Revenue and financing policy.

Financial and Resourcing Implications

20. Financial and resourcing implications were considered in the development of theContributions policy and the Revenue and financing policy.

Amendment to remission scheme for licence to occupy retirement villages and Papakainga Page 85

Amendment to remission scheme for licence to occupy retirementvillages and Papakainga

File No.: CP2015/11598

Purpose1. To recommend for adoption an amendment to the rates remission scheme for residents of

licence to occupy (LTO) retirement villages and Papakāinga housing.

Executive Summary2. On 21 May 2015, the Finance and Performance Committee agreed to consult on a proposal

to amend the remission scheme for residents of LTO retirement villages and Papakāingahousing. The amendment provided for the remission of the proposed Interim Transport Levy(targeted rate) in addition to the Uniform Annual General Charge (UAGC).

3. The current LTO remission scheme remits the UAGC for residents of LTO retirementvillages or Papakāinga. As they are not the r atepayer they do not qualify for the governmentrates rebate.

4. Amending the LTO remission scheme to remit the Interim Transport Levy in addition to theUAGC will increase the value of the remission per qualifying residence to $500 in2015/2016. This is equivalent to 83 per cent of the maximum rebate available under thegovernment’s scheme.

5. Staff recommend the adoption of the amended LTO remission scheme. This amendmentassists with the affordability of the Interim Transport Levy for residents of retirement villagesand Papakāinga.

6. In total 189 pieces of feedback were received. Of those, 187 pieces of feedback were insupport of the proposal to amend the LTO remission scheme.


a) adopt the amendment to the rates remission scheme for residents of licence tooccupy retirement villages and Papakāinga housing (Attachment A to the agendareport) for inclusion in the rates remission and postponement policy.

Comments

Background

7. The Governing Body directed staff to report back on options for amending the remission forresidents of LTO retirement villages and Papakāinga housing to include the proposedInterim Transport Levy in May 2015.

8. The Finance and Performance committee considered three options at its 21 May 2015meeting:

retain the existing LTO remission scheme with no changes

amend the LTO remission scheme so that it remits the Interim Transport Levy inaddition to the UAGC replace the LTO remission scheme with a grants scheme.


86/404

Item 12

Governing Body

25 June 2015


9. The Finance and Performance committee agreed to consult on the amended LTO remissionscheme because there was concern regarding the affordability of the Interim Transport Levyfor residents of LTO retirement villages.

Impact of policy

10. The proposal is to amend the LTO remission scheme so that the Interim Transport Levy isremitted in addition to the UAGC. For 2015/2016, this would be equivalent to a total

remission of $500. This is equivalent to a rebate of 83 per cent of the current maximum. Thisis much closer to the average level of rebate currently being received by Auckland Councilapplicants, who on average qualify for 90 per cent of the maximum available rebate.

11. Assuming growth of ten per cent over 2013/2014, the total cost of the LTO remissionscheme, if the Interim Transport Levy is also remitted, will be $635,000 in 2015/2016. This isan increase of $146,000 over the estimated cost of retaining the existing LTO remissionscheme. This cost can be met through the council’s existing allowance for remissions, so willhave no impact on ratepayers.

Feedback

12. Public consultation was advertised via public notices and the Shape Auckland website.

Details of the proposal were also sent to all LTO retirement villages, Papakāinga and maraeseeking feedback.

13. In total, 189 pieces of feedback were received. Of those, 187 pieces of feedback were insupport of the proposal to amend the LTO remission scheme. This included responses from183 residents of retirement villages. A submission from the Retirement Villages Associationalso supported the proposal.

14. The remaining two pieces of feedback sought further information.

Conclusions

15. Staff recommend adoption of the amended remission scheme for residents of licence tooccupy retirement villages and Papakāinga housing. Remitting the Interim Transport Levy in

addition to the UAGC will better align the scheme with the level of rebate being given undercentral government’s rate rebate scheme. This change would better enable the remissionscheme to meet its objective of addressing the inequity between people who reside inlicence to occupy retirement villages who are unable to access the rebate scheme, andthose retired people who own their own homes who can access the rebate.

Consideration

Significance and engagement

16. Public consultation was undertaken on the proposal to amend the rates remission andpostponement policy. This consultation was in accordance with the requirements under theLocal Government Act 2002 (LGA).

17. The proposed change does not meet the thresholds for significance identified in the council’sSignificance and engagement policy.


18. The decision to amend the rates remission and postponement policy is the responsibility ofthe Governing Body.

19. Local boards had the opportunity to consider the proposal at their June 2015 meetings. Anyrelevant feedback received from these meetings will be reported at the meeting.

20. To date, the council has not identified any papakainga housing developments that are usingLTO agreements. The council has not received any applications for remission from suchdevelopments.

21. The council has sent consultation material to mana whenua contacts, Papakāinga andmarae seeking feedback on the proposal. One piece of feedback was received fromrepresentatives of the Kaihau Development Trust seeking further information.

Implementation22. There are no implementation costs to amend the LTO remission scheme as proposed in this

report. The recommended proposal does not require any changes to the application processfor the rates remission scheme. As such, it does not place any increased burden either onapplicants, or the management of retirement villages who help administer the scheme.

10. Between January and March this year, council consulted on proposed content for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025, including local content. Local boards then held discussions with thegoverning body on local feedback, common issues and local priorities prior to budgetdecisions being made on 8 May 2015.

11. Following 8 May Budget Committee decisions, local activity budgets were updated to reflect:

the impact, if any, of decisions made;

re-prioritisation decisions of locally driven initiative (discretionary) budgets;

the allocation of central costs (including depreciation, interest, corporate overheads andstaff costs); and

any minor administrative adjustments, if any.

12. Local board business meetings were held between 9 and 17 June where all 21 local boardsadopted local content for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025.

13. Local boards also noted other supporting material including 10 year budgets (capital andoperating expenditure) and 10 year performance targets for local activities. Local activitiesinclude parks, sport and recreation, community services, planning and development andenvironmental management. The supporting material does not form part of a local boardagreement, but is incorporated into Volume 2 of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025.

14. As part of this process, some local boards chose to allocate some local discretionarybudgets to top up standard service levels such as library opening hours and parks services.

15. Attachment A outlines local board resolutions on local content for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025.

16. In addition to adopting the Local Board Agreements, local boards also considered LocalFees and Charges Schedules for 2015/2016. The schedules were adopted by each localboard to take effect from 1 July 2015, with the exception of five local boards (Albert-Eden,Ōr ākei, Puketāpapa, Waiheke and Waitematā) which did not adopt a schedule in relation to

sportsfield charges in the central area. The parks, sport and recreation department isworking with central local boards to review charges and prepare a proposal for the Financeand Performance Committee in July 2015. Existing fees and charges will continue to ensurebudget requirements are met until a review is complete.

Consideration


17. This report provides an update on the adoption of local content for the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 and related issues. Consultation feedback from each local board area was presentedto local boards to make final decisions on local discretionary budgets and their local board

agreement, and to support advocacy discussions with the governing body.


18. The local board agreement is based on the local board plan and the Long-term Plan 2015-2025 which have both been developed through engagement with the community, includingmana whenua and Māori residents and rate payers.

19. Local Boards are committed to continue to strengthen working relationships with manawhenua, iwi and Māori organisations. Local boards work closely with local iwi groups todevelop the natural and cultural assets of importance to our community and engagerangatira ki te rangatira, or chief-to-chief, to seek guidance of mana whenua and support therole of kaitiakitanga, the guardianship of the environment and special places.

20. The views presented by Māori submitters through consultation were considered by localboards in the context of their local board plans, their continuing dialogue with Māoriresidents and rate payers and the further development of these relationships.

Comments6. The Maunga Authority is the administering body for 14 Tūpuna Maunga (ancestral

mountains), created through the Act. As part of this historic Treaty of Waitangi settlement,the maunga were returned to the 13 iwi and hapū of Tāmaki Makaurau, represented by theTūpuna Taonga o Tāmaki Makaurau Trust. The return of the Tūpuna Maunga marks animportant milestone in the restoration of these iconic taonga (treasures).

7. The Maunga Authority and Auckland Council must agree an Operational Plan and summaryof that Plan every year under section 60 of the Act. On 23 April 2015, at the JointDeliberations meeting, the Maunga Authority and the Governing Body discussed publicfeedback received on the draft Operational Plan, including that the Tūpuna Maungarepresent a significant opportunity for Auckland and that sufficient funding is required tocommence the rejuvenation of the maunga.

Consideration


8. Three of the six Auckland Council representatives on the Maunga Authority are local boardmembers. Their input has been valuable in the development of the Operational Plan.

9. The Operational Plan was subject to a process of public consultation, whereby verbal andwritten submissions were received from local board members with maunga in their area.Their feedback has been incorporated into the final Operational Plan.


10. The Maunga Authority was established as a result of an historic Treaty of Waitangisettlement with 13 iwi and hapū of Tāmaki Makaurau. Six of the members on the Maunga Authority are mana whenua representatives of the Maratūāhu, Ngāti Whātua, and WaiohuaTāmaki Rōpū.

11. The feedback received through the submissions process from mana whenuarepresentatives, as well as that of the Tūpuna Taonga o Tāmaki Makaurau Trust, has beenincorporated into the final Operational Plan.

Implementation12. Implementation of the Operational Plan is ongoing over the duration of the 2015/2016

financial year.
