GROUPS OF ACTIVITIES

COMMUNITY OUTCOMESCouncil approved new community outcomes in August 2014. These will replace the current decision-making framework and City Vision linkages identified in the activity area information. The new community outcomes are not included in the 2014/15 Annual Plan but are reflected in Council’s 2015-2025 Long Term Plan. The outcomes are:

• A talented and innovative city full of opportunity• A city with heart and soul• A city of great spaces, places and environments

ACTIVITY PLANNINGEach activity above, including support services, has a robust activity plan that outlines where the activity is going in the future and how Council plans to manage this. In undertaking activity planning, four key principles are applied across the board which include environmental sustainability, cultural sensitivity, cost effectiveness and social responsibility.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENTTo ensure that Council continuously reviews and improves its operation across the organisation and for the city, there is a requirement within the management of each activity to review service delivery methods, undertake cost reviews and continuously seek efficiencies.

TRANSPORTATION

WHAT WE DOThis activity ensures that the transport network in Tauranga is safe, efficient and sustainable.

Under this activity we:

• Manage the transportation network

• Plan for the future of the transportation network

• Implement sustainable transport initiatives

The activity incorporates the entire roading corridor, including roads, footpaths, cycle facilities, parking, landscaping, lighting and traffic signals.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?A safe and efficient transport network makes it easier to move around our city and have access to all Tauranga has to offer. This contributes to a vibrant, healthy and sustainable city. A well connected city also supports commercial and economic activity.

KEY PROJECTSIncreased the efficiency of the network:

• Sandhurst Drive extension completed. Sandhurst Drive now links to SH2 (Tauranga Eastern Link) via the new Mangatawa Interchange. The project also delivered linkages to Gloucester Road and Grenada Street, as well as improved access to Papamoa Beach Road with the introduction of a new roundabout.

• Tara Road Upgrading – The reconstruction of Tara Road commenced in 2014/15. These works are on-going. Once completed, there will be a significantly improved level of service to road users in the area.

Easy & Safe to Move Around

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

CITY VISION

Living Well, Wasting Less

Completed several safety projects:

• 28 minor safety projects were delivered across the city. These projects help improve safety for all road user groups, but are particularly focused on vulnerable road users; pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and mobility scooter users. Projects of note are an intersection upgrade at Bellevue Road and Brookfield Terrace, improvements outside Greerton Village School and Welcome Bay School, a new pedestrian crossing on Ngatai Road, and improvements to the pedestrian crossing in Greerton near the race course.

Increased the sustainability of our network through walking and cycling initiatives:

• The number of children participating in walking and cycling programmes across the city continues to grow. Numbers now exceed 5,000. In the last 12 months, our Travelsafe team have also added 4 new schools to the ‘School Travel Plan’ programme. 42 schools are now actively involved in the programme.

• Funding secured to complete the city wide urban cycle network, along with funding to deliver the Tauranga section of the cycle trail between Omokoroa and the city.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Safety of the transport network

We have seen a drop in vehicle occupant injuries over the past year. There have also been some improvements in people’s perception of safety when walking or driving around the city, which is pleasing to see. It is hoped that the decrease in people’s perception of cycling safety will improve following Council’s investment in the provision of cycle infrastructure in the 2015-25 Long Term Plan.

Sustainability of the transport network

There continues to be high levels of participation in sustainable transport initiatives including School Travel Plans and Kids Can Ride programmes with over 5,000 school students participating in these programmes over the last year.

TRANSPORTATION

GROUPS OF ACTIVITIES | 57

WHAT WE DOThe Airport activity brings social and economic benefits to the community by providing air transport services.

Through this activity we:

• Facilitate scheduled services and operate as an Airport Authority in accordance with the Airport Authorities Act.

• Provide access to general aviation such as hangars, flight training and recreational flying.

Easy & Safe to Move Around

Strong, Sustainable Economy

CITY VISION

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?

The airport provides a safe way for people to connect to other New Zealand cities. These connections also support the local economy.

KEY PROJECTS AND INITIATIVESCompleted certification:

• Fully compliant with Annual Civil Aviation Authority Audit.

Provided new services:

• New return service provided from Tauranga to Christchurch on Saturday and Sunday.

• Existing short-term car parks optimised with 60 additional car parks provided.

AIRPORT

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Safety

We achieved 100% compliance with Civil Aviation Authority rules through adherence to a quality management system for the airport. All flights operated in accordance with aviation regulations.

Customer satisfaction

Customers are generally satisfied with the facilities provided at the airport, with only a few verbal complaints and no written complaints received.

Flight movements and passenger numbers

We had an increase of 15,000 passengers from last year but a decrease in the total number of flight movements due to a continued fall in recreational flying and flight training.

RECREATION & FACILITIES

WHAT WE DORecreation and Facilities contributes to community wellbeing by having more people participating in and enjoying a diversity of active living, recreation and leisure opportunities.

This activity:

• Ensures appropriate provision and management of a network of sport, recreation and community facilities.

• Facilitates the use and enjoyment of indoor, aquatic and outdoor facilities.

• Collaborates with and monitors Bay Venues Ltd to ensure community sport and recreation needs are being met in line with the statement of intent and contract for services.

• Provides public amenity buildings (toilets/storage/change rooms) on active reserves to support community sport and recreation

• Tauranga BMX Club successfully held the Annual BMXNZ National Event at Cambridge Park and were subsequently awarded BMX Club of the Year and BMX Event of the Year.

• Bay Venues Limited successfully attained funding to proceed with the development of a High Performance Sports Training Centre at Blake Park.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Facilities

We have seen higher levels of use than previous years with Aquatics Facilities, Indoor Sport Facilities and Community Halls exceeding targets. Overall, there has been a slight reduction in perceptions regarding the awareness of community facilities provided by Council.

Recreational opportunities

In 2015 Sport BOP reviewed Tauranga’s sport and recreation opportunities. This uncovered a significant number of previously uncaptured recreation providers increasing from 148 to 243 in 2015.

An independent review of the Play in the Bay Programme showed cycling as the most popular event regionally. However, Tauranga cycling participation trends were lower in comparison to Rotorua and Whakatane, with children’s activity and water activities the most popular local events.

Sport BOP are leading a development of Sport and Recreation facilities plan which is being supported by Sport NZ, Tauranga City Council and other Councils within the Bay of Plenty region.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Providing sport, recreation and community facilities helps to maintain a healthy and happy city. Outdoor recreation activities provide opportunities for social interaction, and sporting events promote tourism to the area and boost the local economy.

KEY PROJECTS• The Bay Oval Trust successfully held two Cricket ODI

Black Cap games against South Africa at Blake Park. These matches where then followed by three women’s internationals White Ferns versus England in February 2015.

• Tauranga’s premier sporting tournament AIM’s games has continued to grow with 7,500 participants competing in 17 sporting codes in 2014. NZCT Aims Games was recognised for event excellence at the 2015 Sport New Zealand Sport and Recreation Awards.

OPEN SPACE

WHAT WE DOOpen Space provides the space for community and recreational opportunities, as well as benefiting the landscape and contributing to ecological protection and enhancement.

Through this activity we:• Manage parks, neighbourhood reserves, sports fields,

natural areas

• Develop and manage cycling paths and linkages that also support transportation goals.

• Develop and manage amenities including playgrounds, public toilets, street trees, street gardens, park furniture, barbeques and skate parks.

below along the Waikareao walkway.

• The Tauranga Domain World War One Memorial Gates were renewed. This was carried out in time for the successful Anzac Day commemoration held at Tauranga Domain.

• Restoration works on McCardles Bush around the Waikareao walkway have been carried out.

Sportsfield lighting:

• To help achieve Council’s level of service for supply of sportsfields, additional floodlights were provided at Greerton Park and Blake Park.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Customer satisfaction

There was a 10% increase in the number of Tauranga residents that feel that Tauranga has enough open space as identified through Council’s annual residents perception survey.

Customer satisfaction levels with the quality of local playgrounds have increased further this year. This highlights that while the quantity targets for playground provision are not being achieved, there are high levels of satisfaction with the quality of existing playgrounds provided in local areas.

Popularity of local sites

There was a significant increase in the numbers of people walking up Mauao and around the Waikareao walkway. This is a fantastic outcome both in terms of people living healthy active lifestyles and making the most of the opportunities provided by the open space network.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Providing access to areas for recreation, leisure and sport contributes to a healthy and happy city. Open spaces help to attract and hold community events. They contribute to having an attractive and liveable city, with preserved cultural landscapes and restored and enhanced ecosystems.

KEY PROJECTSUpgrades and restoration work:

• Fergusson Park Seawall was upgraded to continue to provide protection to the reserve area.

• The Tauranga Domain bank was stabilised, again to provide protection to the reserve area above, and

COMMUNITY PROPERTY SERVICES

WHAT WE DOCommunity Property Services manages self-funding business activities, providing places and facilities which are beneficial to the community.

Through this activity we manage five community facilities that are funded through commercial activity, rent and user fees:

• The Historic Village

• Mt Maunganui Beachside Holiday Park

• Tauranga Crematorium and Cemetery Services

• Tauranga Marine Facilities

• Tauranga Elder Housing

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Customer satisfaction

The Beachside Holiday Park experienced the best result to date with 100% of visitors stating that the facility provided them with a “value for money, traditional kiwi holiday experience”, and visitor guest nights continued to exceed 63,000 for the year.

Elder Housing

The Elder Housing waiting list has grown considerably from 15 people in 2013/14 to 35 people in 2014/15. Council agreed to review this activity and the relevant policy to determine the future approach that Council will take to the provision and operation of elder housing.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?These facilities provide social services in the way of housing the elderly and providing cemetery services. The Beachside Holiday Park promotes and accommodates tourism, while the Marine Facilities and Historic Village support local businesses.

KEY PROJECTS• Various improvements made to improve the Beachside

Holiday Park including concrete pads on some site, kerb and channelling and ventilation in the amenities buildings.

• Commenced assessment work on building structure and maintenance requirements for buildings at the Historic Village.

CITY VISION

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Clean, green, valued environment

Strong, Sustainable Economy

A great place to grow up

WASTEWATER

WHAT WE DOThe Wastewater activity promotes public health by providing urban properties with a reliable wastewater system.

Through this activity we:

• Collect wastewater on a continuous basis and transport it through drains and pipelines to treatment facilities.

• Treat wastewater to a suitable standard.

• Dispose of the treated wastewater back into the environment.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Responsiveness

We have continued to achieve our targets for addressing issues with blockages or overflows in the wastewater system, with a 28 minute average response time from the point of notification. This is well below the target of one hour.

Community education

Several education programmes were run in schools and the community.

KEY PROJECTSManaged sewer overflows:

• Sewer overflows to the receiving environment continue to remain at low levels due to the proactive approach of renewals and replacement of trouble spots in the system.

Constructed part of the southern pipeline:

• The Council is constructing a new wastewater pipeline called the Southern Pipeline valued at $99 million. Work has progressed on the section of pipeline across Matapihi. The project is on track to be completed by the end of 2016.

CITY VISION

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Clean, green, valued environment

Living Well, Wasting Less

$000’s Key Variance Explanations for 2015

Southern Pipeline 8,963 13,079 4,116 Harbour crossing stage has been delayed and budget carried forward into future years.

Te Maunga Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade - Stage 4

2,226 1,650 (576) Variance is due to $300K overspend relating to significant variations, there has also been a $250K carryforward from 2013/14 to offset remaining variance.

Wastewater Renewal Works 3,049 3,600 551 Renewal projects complete. Sewer relining project which has been carried forward to 2015/16 and will be completed by August 15.

Wastwater Pumpstations Mechanical Upgrades

1,322 1,500 178 Ongoing programme of pumpstation upgrades. Programme completed for this financial year, no carryforward of remaining budget required.

Opal Drive Pump Station and Rising Main 2 100 98 Project has been deferred to align with four laning of Domain Rd.

Carmichael Road to Bethlehem Road (cross country)

461 465 4 Project completed.

Sewer Extensions 18 100 82 This project is used to fund connections to residential houses as and when required. Demand is difficult to forecast, budget is not carried forward.

Chapel St Wastewater Treatment Plant - Upgrade

363 200 (163) Overspend in this year is due to two reasons. First, the programme of works has been brought forward due to stronger raw sewage than had been modelled. Second detailed design has been brought forward one year to ensure upgrades are made in time for Southern Pipeline commissioning.

GROUPS OF ACTIVITIES | 93

WATER SUPPLY

WHAT WE DOThe Water Supply activity supplies urban and rural-residential properties with a constant, adequate, sustainable and high quality water supply.

Through this activity we:

• Manage the water supply catchments which protect source water, abstract raw water from source streams and produce or process potable water of suitable quality and quantities.

• Distribute or transport the product to the point of supply where it meets specific flow, pressure and quality standards.

• Own and operate water assets with a replacement cost in excess of $288 million.

Boscabel Water Supply Upgrade

Following an approach to Council by the Boscabel residents, who were on a private water scheme, Council resolved to connect the Boscabel subdivision to the Council water supply network. The upgrade of the internal water reticulation network to meet Council standards and firefighting requirements and the connection to the Council water supply system was implemented.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Water Quality

We continued to supply water that met the Ministry of Health drinking water standards and this was supported by a high degree of customer satisfaction for water quality perception.

Water Quantity

Overall the provision of water was sufficient to meet the City’s water supply and firefighting requirements. Where supply disruptions occurred due to reactive or planned shutdowns, the remedial work undertaken exceeded the target levels of service.

Water Sustainability

In general the water sustainability items such as system water loss, peak and average water demand and water conservation education was kept at a level to ensure good water demand management in the City.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Having a sufficient amount of good quality drinking water is essential for a healthy community. We make sure that the water supply is reliable, that water quality is maintained, and that any interruption to that service is as short as possible.

KEY PROJECTSWelcome Bay High Level Pipeline

A further leg of the pipeline was installed which connected the Roger Guy subdivision and the upper Waitaha Road residents to the upper Waikite reservoir and which will improve the security of supply and level of service to these areas.

Joyce Road to Kennedy Road Pipeline.

Construction of a pipeline to connect Joyce Road Reservoir to the Lakes and Tauriko developments was installed. This allows the future development of these growth areas.

CITY VISION

STORMWATER

WHAT WE DOThe Stormwater activity minimises the risk of flood damage and mitigates the adverse effects on the harbour and waterways from stormwater runoff.

Through this activity we:

• Manage infrastructure that receives, treats and disposes of stormwater through a network of soakage systems, pipes, open drains, ponds and secondary flow paths (which can traverse through reserves, private properties and along road corridors).

• Implement initiatives to minimise the risk of flood damage – these include education, integrated planning and provision of infrastructure.

• residual risk and emergency management to ensure an appropriate service is provided to flood affected landowners following future flood events; and

• reactive response capacity to aid flood affected landowners following future flood events.

To support the above approach a range of educational material is available on the Council website and a Stormwater Reactive Reserve Fund is being established to provide for relief support to flood affected landowners following intense rainfall events that result in damage to buildings and property.

Stormwater Flood Recovery Projects

• Continued the rollout of 2D hydrological models across the city, specifically for the Mount South, Avenues, Waimapu, Mount North and Kopurererua catchments.

• Completed the following stormwater flood recovery projects:

- Stages 1 and 2 of the Maui to Te Maire Street stormwater upgrade within the Mount Industrial catchment to address flooding with the Portside Drive and Te Maire Street areas.

- Purchase of a number of flood affected properties within Matua. Removal of these is underway and concept design work continues for upgrade. Consent obtained for construction of any required stormwater outlets.

- Stage 1 Roxanne Place – raising of Poike Road. Consenting for remaining stages of work underway.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Resource consents

We achieved all resource consent conditions for discharge to the environment.

Flooding

Fllod hazard maps for Kopurererua Valley and Judea Valley have been made available to the public.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Stormwater discharging to the harbour, rivers and ocean, especially from industrial areas, can affect the environmental wellbeing of those waterways. Flood damage can have significant negative effects on communities.

KEY PROJECTSStormwater Level of Service

Consulted and approved through the Long Term Plan a new safety level of service approach to dealing with flooding issues. This approach focuses on the following:

• a ‘safety to persons’ focussed level of service;

• regulation and policy amendments to ensure no increased risk occurs, and over time risk is reduced;

• education to enable private individuals to make informed decisions;

SOLID WASTE

WHAT WE DOThe Solid Waste activity protects public health through collecting and disposing of waste, and it promotes sustainable waste management.

Through this activity we manage the:

• Delivery of waste collection and disposal services that minimise waste to landfill.

• Rubbish collection, transfer station operation and composting as user pays services.

• Aftercare of closed landfills, litter collection, street sumps and footpath cleaning services funded from rates.

• Waste minimisation community programmes funded from central government waste levy fund.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?Customer satisfaction

We had noticeably high levels of satisfaction with many aspects of this activity including rubbish collection, litter management and footpath cleanliness.

Waste minimisation education

The Solid Waste Team has exceeded the delivery of education hours to the community. This is largely due to the introduction of the Resource Wise Schools programme, an increase in the number of Cloth Nappy Workshops and Early Childcare Centre Trials and more contact with businesses in the City.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Properly disposing of rubbish and reducing the amount we send to landfill helps to create a healthy, safe environment for us to live in.

KEY PROJECTSWaste minimisation initiatives included:

• The National Love Food, Hate Waste initiative has been supported by Council through in kind staff time and a financial contribution from Council’s Central Government Waste Levy to produce materials and undertake promotions to be used locally and nationally. This is to help address the $22 million of food waste in Tauranga City each year.

• A pilot of Resource Wise Schools was successful with over 50 teachers and caretakers attending a workshop and 23 educational establishments signing up to the 2015/16 programme.

LIBRARIES

WHAT WE DOLibraries encourage and support literacy and learning in our community for all ages by providing access to information, technology, recreational and cultural activities.

Libraries through this activity:

• Provide and lend collections - print, online, DVDs, CDs, large print.

• Connect customers with information and resources they have requested.

• Provide access to the internet and assist customers to make best use of online information and information-related software.

• Collect, preserve and make accessible heritage information resources relating to the region.

• Provide activities which support literacy, independent learning, information skills, and cultural enrichment for both adults and children.

• Provide an informal community space where people meet, browse, share and learn in a comfortable, safe environment.

Library stock

The number of stock items has been reduced to the new target of 2.4 items per capita. The current total is slightly below this level due to the need to reduce stock at Greerton Library to fit into the temporary building.

Tauranga Memories

The library’s online database, Tauranga Memories, has increased by over 2000 items and is being used widely. It was accessed over 2000 times in the week after a TV programme was aired on the wreck of the Ranui.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Library visits

Physical visits and online visits to the library have increased. Issues of physical stock declined while e-issues increased from 12,600 to 19,000.

Education and learning

The number of educational sessions provided has exceeded the target, with the programmes themed around Matariki being especially popular. Use of the library by Maori is lower than for other groups but these programmes were opportunities to promote the value of the library to the Maori community.

The library has also partnered with business groups to deliver programmes of interest to small business managers.

The popularity of group classes in the Learning Centre have declined, as more people have their own individualised devices, while one-on-one assistance with these continues to rise. This service is now offered in several places in the community as well as in the libraries.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Libraries provide for learning and recreation. They also provide internet access and a place in which community events can be held such as book clubs and children’s programmes.

KEY PROJECTSGreerton Library

The Greerton Library project is under way with the library moved into temporary premises and some furniture and books taken to storage. Demolition is scheduled for July 2015 and completion approximately April 2016. An extra 60m2 for meeting and learning space has been added to the original design after receiving $200,000 funding from the Lotteries Board.

CITY VISION

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Actively involved people

A great place to grow up

BAYCOURT

WHAT WE DOBaycourt enables the community to enjoy arts and culture by actively pursuing and delivering a diverse programme of events.

Through this activity we:

• Proactively manage and operate the Baycourt Community and Arts Centre which provides a comprehensive arts programme to the community.

• Provide physical and technical events support at Baycourt.

• Provide a box office and national ticketing office.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Baycourt user satisfaction

We achieved a 100% satisfaction rating from Baycourt venue hirers with 70% being very satisfied and 30% satisfied. This is a pleasing result and coupled with anecdotal comments on the ease of the use of the facility on a national scale, helps to cement the role of Baycourt as a key community and arts facility in Tauranga.

Baycourt occupancy

While this has decreased from last year, this is mainly due to a short notice cancellation by a large user and not hosting the Tauranga Arts Festival this year as this event is held every two years. Baycourt continue to work with and identify relationship and partnership opportunities with potential facility users.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Baycourt events encourage increased social interaction between different groups, provide a forum to showcase local, national and international talent, and encourage arts and culture in Tauranga.

KEY PROJECTSNew initiatives included:

• Involved with PANNZ (Performing Arts Network New Zealand) Touring Agency who are funded by Creative New Zealand.

• Created a “What’s On” brochure and distributed to homes and businesses in Tauranga to help promote awareness of the arts.

CITY VISION

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

Living Well, Wasting Less

A great place to grow up

ARTS AND HERITAGE

WHAT WE DOArts & Heritage contributes to the sense of community mana, pride and identity of this region by providing infrastructure for arts and culture.

Through this activity we:

• Manage the Tauranga Heritage Collection, not currently housed in a museum.

• Support the Tauranga Moana Museum Trust in museum planning.

• Help fund and support the Tauranga Art Gallery.

• Manage a relationship with Creative Tauranga to support arts and culture.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Art Exhibitions and Gallery Visits

The Tauranga Art Gallery hosted over 22 exhibitions from a variety of different artists. While there was a slight decrease in visitor numbers from last year, attendance levels are well above those required within the Statement of Intent (which outlines delivery expectations of this Council Controlled Organisation).

Tauranga Heritage Collection

There has been a significant increase in the number of website hits to the online museum collection. An additional 10 schools have been visited in the past year to connect the museum collection information with their local history subjects.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Facilitating arts activities have positive social and cultural benefits in our city. The limited access to the heritage collection means that the impacts are not as great as they could be.

KEY PROJECTSCelebrating the arts:

• Completion of the Hairy Maclary & Friends Tauranga Waterfront Sculpture Project.

• Developed a Creative Tauranga Writers Award.

• Delivery of two annual Acorn Foundation Creative Arts Awards.

Building and maintaining relationships within the Arts sector:

• Worked with the Tauranga Library on a Matariki exhibition held at Creative Tauranga.

• Worked with Parent to Parent Coastal BOP, Turning Point Trust and Avalon on providing exhibitions by those suffering from disability.

CITY VISION

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

A great place to grow up

LOCAL AREA REVITALISATION

WHAT WE DOTo ensure that the Tauranga City Centre is the vibrant commercial, cultural and civic heart of the sub-region, and to ensure that neighbourhood centres are strong and vibrant commercial, cultural and community hubs that provide for the needs of people living, working and visiting them.

City Centre Revitalisation

• Shifting the City Centre from a period of consolidation to growth by recognising the strategic importance of having a strong city centre.

• Assist the City Centre Action Group in cross-organisational projects and initiatives to collectively advocate for the delivery of the City Centre Strategy.

Neighbourhood Planning

• Develop community planning documents and implementation plans that respond to community concerns and need for change in particular geographic areas.

• These plans detail how communities would like their neighbourhood to look and feel within a 5-10 year time period and ensure that Council are maintaining partnerships with local communities.

Neighbourhood Centre Upgrades

• Investing in revitalisation projects that focus on the built form, structures, places, spaces and networks within a neighbourhood centre.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?A strong City Centre will have positive effects on community wellbeing, particularly economic, social and cultural wellbeing. This activity focuses on creating a centre that people are proud of and that they want to visit, do business in, and invest in, so that the City Centre becomes the cultural, commercial and civic heart of Tauranga. Investing in improving neighbourhood centres also contributes positively to community wellbeing in a local sense.

KEY PROJECTSCouncil did not complete any major redevelopment projects in the 2014/2015 year in the City Centre.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Commercial and Cultural Heart of the sub-region

There is an increase of 88 businesses employing 10 less employees than in the previous year. Work completed by Martin Jenkins in 2014 also showed an increase in the value of activity in the city centre. Combined, business numbers and employee numbers show an increase in value of activity in the city centre.

City Centre Strategy actions

• The Tertiary Campus Project reached a significant milestone with the signing of the Heads of Agreement.

• Private sector development of Trustpower commenced, this brings a major corporate business with over 400 employees into the City Centre in early 2016.

• An exclusive right was granted to a developer over a key Council owned City Centre site.

• Work on Masonic Park and the Waterfront Crossing were completed.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

WHAT WE DOThis activity works towards having a thriving, growing, diverse and sustainable economy, as well as facilitating sustainable tourism. This activity has two main focuses, Economic Development and Tourism.

Economic Development

• Focuses on building a vibrant economy with a strong commercial sector that retains and attracts talented, skilled and creative people.

• Facilitates infrastructure to ensure economic development is not constrained.

• Facilitates initiatives and development which bring a competitive advantage and attract skills.

• Supports tertiary education and research.

• Supports Maori economic development.

Tourism

• Manages tourism to encourage tourism growth and expenditure in the city and the wider region.

• Develops new tourism products (attractions and activities).

• The two primary markets are the free and independent travellers, and the domestic North Island market.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?A strong economy and a sustainable tourism strategy create employment and business opportunities and support the overall economic wellbeing and prosperity of the city.

CITY VISION

Easy & Safe to Move Around

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

A great place to grow up

KEY PROJECTS• Establishment of WNT Ventures consortium, securing

investment from Callaghan Innovation. • Heads of Terms have been signed for the new University of

Waikato campus in the city centre.• Site development and marketing has begun at Sulphur

Point on the new Marine Precinct.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Enabling business growth

The number of businesses in the city grew by 2.6%

Effectiveness of promoting Tauranga as a quality destination for visitors

Tourism expenditure grew 4.6%.

The measures signal a positive trend as the economy has been strong in 2014-15. Note that we now have access to better statistical information and have revised most of the indictors for the 2015-25 Long Term Plan.

CITY PLANNING & GROWTH MANAGEMENT

WHAT WE DOCity Planning and Growth helps guide and enhance the quality of Tauranga’s natural and physical environment as the City grows and develops.

This activity focuses primarily on the physical environment of the city through providing policy advice on subdivision, use and development with a forward planning focus:

• City planning includes preparing and reviewing the City Plan, sub-regional and city growth management and development including SmartGrowth, land use and infrastructure integration, monitoring and reporting on development trends and liaising with other organisations on policy and legislative changes.

• Infrastructure planning develops urban growth area structure plans, infrastructure costing and funding through development/financial contributions and works with other local, regional and central government organisations on sustainable infrastructure.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?The City Plan guides the subdivision, use and development of all land use activities in the city so has a major effect on the look and feel of the city and the city environment. Collecting development contributions helps offset the costs Council incurs in providing infrastructure.

CITY VISION

Easy & Safe to Move Around

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

A Clean, green, valued environment

A great place to grow up

KEY PROJECTSManaging the City Plan, including:

• Advancing several SmartGrowth Strategy projects as part of the Settlement Pattern Review. These include a strategic study of growth in the Western Corridor, Te Tumu and Keenan Road growth areas and a Compact City project to investigate growth in existing urban areas.

Managing infrastructure planning, including:

• Policy advice was provided to elected members, other agencies and central government on national, regional and local public policy and resource management issues. Most recently, a comprehensive submission was made to the NZ Productivity Commission on improved mechanisms to deliver housing supply.

• The Development Trends annual report was published.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

City residential growth

Tauranga City experienced residential growth (new dwellings) that is 7 % below the SmartGrowth forecasts but “within the 10% of forecast” target for this measure.

City Plan review project

The City Plan is fully operative. This year staff completed 10 plan changes to the City Plan. This reflects the need to keep the City Plan up to date and responsive to Tauranga’s changing needs and challenges.

Development Contribution Policy

This policy is regularly reviewed through the annual plan process. This was completed for 2014/15. This ensures growth projects and their costs remain current and relevant for successful project delivery.

CITY PLANNING & GROWTH MANAGEMENT

146 | TAURANGA CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

WHAT WE DOEnvironmental Planning facilitates and promotes sustainable development and aids the management of natural and physical resources by using the resource consents process.

Through this activity we:

• Process and advise on resource consents under the Resource Management Act 1993 (RMA), in a timely and cost efficient manner.

• Consult with relevant parties, including Tangata Whenua, where appropriate.

• Engage with developers and consultants in the pre-application phases of projects to manage a co-ordinated organisational response, foster good relationships and aid in sustainable development.

• Assist with key organisational strategies to mitigate any negative environmental impacts due to growth.

• Provide information, advice and education to interest groups on the RMA process

• Monitor resource consent conditions and undertake education to ensure compliance.

• Take enforcement action where appropriate.

• Advise on the storage of hazardous substances and organisms.

• Manage the appeal and mediation process and give expert evidence in the Environment, District or High Court where required.

• Assess resource consent applications against the requirements of the Development Contributions Policy and ensure the accurate collection of impact fees.

CITY VISION

Easy & Safe to Move Around

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Clean, green, valued environment

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?We ensure that the growth in our city is sustainable by managing the use, development and protection of natural and physical resources. You will use these services if you are applying for resource consent.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Efficiency in Consent Processing

We have processed and issued decisions on 481 consent applications over the past year. We have carried this function out with 98% of the consents issued complying with the statutory timeframes. We have also ensured building consent applications are reviewed for consistency with the City Plan and Resource Management Act requirements. This has helped ensure applicants are able to deliver appropriate development and achieve growth across the city in a timely manner.

Effective Management of Incidents

We have responded to 100% of all City Plan and land-use related incidents within 24 hours of receiving them from customers. A strong education, negotiation and persuasion principle has resulted in no formal enforcement action being undertaken this year.

ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

150 | TAURANGA CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15

BUILDING SERVICES

WHY WE DO ITThis activity ensures the safety of people living and working in buildings.

Through this activity we:

• Issue project information memoranda (“PIM”), which identify and disclose information about a property regarding compliance with the City Plan, assessment of land features and services requirements.

• Process building consents in accordance with the NZ Building Code and inspect building work to ensure it complies with consents which have been issued.

• Issue Code Compliance Certificates for building works that have been completed in accordance with the building consent, process Certificates of Acceptance, and complete inspections as required, and issue Certificates for Public Use where members of the public can safely use the premises.

• Issue Compliance Schedules where specified systems for buildings are capable of performing to required standards.

• Monitor buildings to ensure they have a building warrant of fitness with ongoing monitoring of those systems for the life of the building.

• Respond to building-related complaints and issue a Notice to Fix if required.

• Manage responsibilities relating to Earthquake-Prone Buildings

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Building services ensure that the buildings in the city are safe and habitable and that all buildings constructed will have met the NZ Building Code at the time of construction.

CITY VISION

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

KEY PROJECTSThere were no key projects to report from this financial year.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?Customer satisfaction

An excellent outcome from customer satisfaction levels for LIM’s given the significant increase in LIM applications received this year. 94% of LIM applicants were satisfied with the accuracy of the information they received and 92% were satisfied with the overall service, both well above the 80% target.

$000’s Key Variance Explanations for 2015

Panasonic Toughbook Tablets 51 0 (51) New tablets purchased to support increased staff numbers in the building inspection team and to meet increasing customer service expectations of inspection turnaround times.

New Vehicles for Building Inspectors 54 0 (54) New vehicles required for two additional staff members to perform building inspection functions. These vehicles were unbudgeted as demand for inspection services was higher than anticipated.

156 | TAURANGA CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

WHAT WE DOEnvironmental Compliance contributes to the health, safety and wellbeing of our communities by ensuring bylaws, liquor laws and health regulations are being adhered to and by taking a proactive approach to crime prevention.

Liquor Licensing:

• Processes applications for liquor licences and manager’s certificates.

• Proactively monitors the licensees to mitigate effects of alcohol abuse.

• Delivers a variety of education packages to the industry.

Public/Environmental Health:

• Inspects and audits registered food premises, hairdressers, mortuaries, camping sites and offensive trades.

• Investigates complaints.

• Monitors noise levels around the city.

Bylaws and Public Safety:

• Investigates complaints and monitors compliance with Council bylaws and policies

Tauranga Safe City / Crime Prevention:

• Maintains a city that is safe to live, work and play in.

• Manages the removal and prevention of graffiti from most parts of the city.

• Monitors the operation of the crime prevention camera network.

CITY VISION

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?These services contribute to having a healthy and safe city. They ensure risks involved with liquor are minimised and that the places you go to eat and drink are healthy and safe. They also work towards crime and graffiti prevention for the city.

KEY PROJECTSManaged alcohol sales:

• The Off Licence Alcohol Accord (first in NZ) has encouraged the responsible sale of alcohol from off licence premises. This has been very successful in the Western Bay of Plenty and continues to operate on this basis.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Noise pollution

The perception that noise pollution is a problem in the city has decreased significantly since last year from 26% to 13%. A proactive approach has been taken in dealing with recidivist offenders, engaging with landowners of rental properties where tenants have been consistently creating noise issues.

Graffiti reduction

There has been a significant decrease in the perception that tagging is an issue in the city, which is a pleasing result and reflects both a decrease in the amount of tagging occurring and Council’s proactive approach to graffiti removal.

Built to Fit our Hills, Harbour and Coast

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Clean, green, valued environment

A great place to grow up

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

160 | TAURANGA CITY COUNCIL ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15

ANIMAL SERVICES

WHAT WE DOAnimal Services maintains a healthy and safe environment in which animals, owners and the wider community can live compatibly.

Through this activity we:

• Monitor and enforce compliance with legislation and policies in relation to dog and other animal complaints

• Provide services and facilities for the impounding and care of stray and seized animals.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?This service regulates animal ownership and keeps stray animals off the street, contributing to a safe city for all.

KEY PROJECTSThere were no key projects to report from this financial year as the majority of activity is based on day to day operations.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Dog registration and complaints

The dog population continues to increase with a 6% growth in registered dogs this year. Despite this growth, complaints of aggression are continuing to reduce or remain static.

EMERGENCY & RISK MANAGEMENT

WHAT WE DOCivil Defence & Emergency Management ensures the organisation and the community are prepared for and able to respond to emergencies, natural or otherwise, that may cause loss of life, injury or illness; and that the organisation is healthy and safe.

The main goals of this activity are:

• Reduction: Identifying potential hazards, developing and implementing measures to minimise impacts.

• Readiness: Plans are in place, staff know what to do before, during, and after an emergency, and the community is aware of the “hazardscape” and is prepared. Critical services can be provided during and after an emergency. We engage with and educate our community about “Being Prepared”.

• Response: A joint emergency operations centre, in partnership with Western Bay of Plenty District Council, is ready to co-ordinate response activities during an emergency. Critical services continue to be provided to the community.

• Recovery: Planning for co-ordination of recovery activities.

• Safety and Wellbeing: Facilitating safe work practices in the organisation and delivering wellness initiatives that support organisational wellbeing.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Tauranga is potentially impacted by a range of natural and man-made hazards. The more effective Civil Defence and Emergency Management service delivery is delivered, the less the community will be impacted by an event and the faster the community will be able to recover from the event.

CITY VISION

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

Actively involved people

KEY PROJECTSTsunami initiatives:

• Works undertaken this year related to the construction of two evacuation bridges and the location and preliminary design of Tauranga’s first purpose built tsunami evacuation structure. One bridge is being constructed at the rear of the Tuihana and Coast developments adjacent to SH2 and will provide the community with evacuation access over the drains beside SH2. The second bridge will link Bermuda Drive to Santa Barbara Drive.

• Tauranga’s first purpose built tsunami evacuation structure will be located on Gordon Spratt Reserve adjacent the Papamoa College sports fields.

Regional Emergency Management Service Delivery:

• During the second half of 2014/15 a regional service delivery model was agreed by Council’s belonging to the Bay of Plenty Emergency Management Group. The result of the agreement is that on 01 July 2015 community readiness and emergency response services will be delivered by the City via the new Bay of Plenty Emergency Management team (BOPEM).

• The BOPEM team will be located in the BOP Regional Council and will work with member Council’s and communities to deliver these two important emergency management functions.

• Tauranga City Council will continue to deliver its reduction, recovery and business continuity functions in collaboration with the BOPEM.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?In the event of a major emergency occurring in the city, this activity maintains business continuity for essential services. Council displayed that it was able to maintain business as usual service delivery to the community during the prolonged business disruption over December 2014 – March 2015, caused when Council needed to vacate multiple floors of its Willow Street campus due to the impacts from mould and relocate to two other facilities in the CBD.

CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTRE

WHAT WE DOThe Customer Service Centre is often the first point of call for people dealing with Council, a ‘one-stop shop’ that provides easy access to knowledge and services.

Through this activity we:

• Provide high quality face to face, telephone and email information on all Council activities through reception and the call centre.

• Provide a cashier service.

• Issue Land Information Memoranda (“LIM”) which identify and disclose information about properties.

• Maintain and develop Online Services

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?Customer services deliver information and deal with enquiries as well as ensuring electronic property files are readily available to customers.

KEY PROJECTS24 hours, seven days per week Contact Centre

The introduction of a 24 x 7 Contact Centre ensures that Council is more accessible to the public to respond to enquiries regardless of time of day. Since implementation, afterhours call volumes have increased by 23% against last year.

Council has taken on the management of afterhours calls for several other councils in the Bay of Plenty region, thereby ensuring a more consistent approach to customer enquiry management on a regional basis.

CITY VISION

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Call Centre/Service Centre

Whilst the wait time by customers in the Service Centre was slightly higher than target during the survey period, the response and knowledge of the team is such that in both the Contact Centre and Service Centre most customers continue to have their enquiry completed at first point of contact.

Please note: performance measures for LIMs are currently included in the Building Services Activity information.

Through this activity we:

• Support elected members in governance processes as well as manage, support and advise the organisation on all democratic processes.

• Support the Mayor and Chief Executive in managing the interface between the elected members and the organisation.

• Manage the local triennial elections and representation review.

• Maintain established relationships with Sister Cities.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU? Governance supports you to vote for your representatives in local body elections every three years, and enables you to become involved in the decision-making process through public consultation. The Sister Cities programme has positive impact on the economic wellbeing of the city.

KEY PROJECTSBy-election

The Mount Maunganui/Papamoa By-election was successfully completed in February 2015 following the resignation of former Councillor Clayton Mitchell.

CITY VISION

Public Consultation

• Completed the formal public consultation process and deliberations for the Long Term Plan 2015-25, adopted 29 June 2015.

• Maori Representation Review undertaken in late 2014.

• Review of Representation Arrangements for the 2016 Triennial Local Election is currently underway.

HOW DID WE PERFORM?A complete list of how we performed against the annual outcome and levels of service measures follows, but some key points are:

Level of involvement

The number of people who contributed to decision-making processes decreased this year with 982 submissions received in respect of six formal submission processes. The highest number of submissions was to the Long Term Plan 2015-25 with 654 submissions and 138 people coming to talk to Council about their submission. This major piece of work outlines Council’s projects for the next ten years.

Vibrant, Healthy and Diverse Communities

Strong, Sustainable Economy

Actively involved people

A great place to grow up
