6.1 Ruamahanga Strategy Review Update
1. Purpose
The purpose of this report is to inform the Committee on the commencement of the scheduled review of the Ruamāhanga Strategy and seek endorsement of the planned considerations.
2. Significance
The matters for decision in this report are not considered to be of significance under the Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Background
Climate change and its associated risks and impacts continue to place increasing pressure on council assets and operations as well as the resilience of the community. In 2020, Carterton District Council (CDC) and South Wairarapa District Council (SWDC) adopted the Ruamāhanga Strategy (henceforth referred to as ‘the Strategy’) as a joint climate change strategy to address the related risks and impacts. The Strategy was adopted in February 2020 for CDC and in March 2020 for SWDC. This included the following Strategy targets which state:
During the period 2020 – 2030, Carterton and South Wairarapa District Councils aim to:
· Reduce their gross greenhouse gas emissions;
· Increase the reservoirs, therefore the amount for greenhouse gas sequestered every year;
· Reduce biogenic methane by 10% below 2017 levels.
The targets also state that the councils will create an action plan intended for council, community, and businesses. This was subsequently completed in May 2021. The Strategy also outlines that it will be reviewed in 2024, and work on this is commencing.
4. Discussion
Current Environmental Context
Since the adoption of the current strategy in early 2020, there have been large, permeating pressures in the global and national context, including:
· Coronavirus pandemic
· Global inflationary pressures
· Large, international conflicts
· Extreme weather events – particularly ex-Cyclone Hale, Auckland Anniversary Floods, and Cyclone Gabrielle
· A cost of living crisis.
Similarly, in the last six months within New Zealand, there has been:
· A change of government and subsequent shift in local government focus in some areas (e.g. three waters legislation).
· The nation entering a technical recession therefore furthering financial strain.
Despite this, climate change remains a mounting risk not only to council operations and the maintenance and integrity of council assets, but also the environmental, cultural, social, and economic wellbeing of our community.
Considerations for the Current Review
We are proposing the investigation and consideration of the following as part of the Strategy review process:
· Review of set targets
· Incorporation of a strategic framework to organise actions and guide decision-making
· Establish reporting cycles and review frequency
· Review of and amendments to the action plan
· Targeted engagement with mana whenua and Marae partners
· Targeted engagement with other communities of place, identity, and interest
· Standard consultation with the community at large
5. NEXT STEPS
The nature of a joint strategy between CDC and SWDC means that decisions related to the Strategy review need to be agreed to by both councils. Similarly, effective partnership with mana whenua, Marae and wider community consultation takes time to build relationships and bring people along. Therefore, the timeline for full completion of the Strategy review is expected to take most of this year with the final revised version ready for adoption in December, or the first quarter of 2025.
We intend to provide a further update to the CDC Policy and Projects Committee meeting on 19 June 2024 prior to commencing targeted engagement. For the Committee’s reference, today’s report will go to the SWDC Strategy Working Committee meeting on 8 May 2024 and the further update is intended for 3 July 2024.
6. CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Climate change
The
outcomes of the Strategy review will position the council to respond more
readily to the impacts of climate change, as well as prepare and build
resilience in our community.
6.2 Tāngata whenua
Reviewing the Strategy provides an opportunity for Council to partner with tāngata whenua to develop a robust Strategy that reflects the needs of Māori.
6.3 Financial impact
Budget for the review is shared between CDC and SWDC, with budget from CDC coming from the existing Climate Change Initiatives Budget.
6.4 Community Engagement requirements
There are no requirements for community engagement at this stage as the extent of engagement has not currently been decided. However, this will be an important component of the review process.
6.5 Risks
The risk of not endorsing the commencement of Strategy Review could lead to Council not meeting requirements under the Resource Management Act 1991 to ensure communities are protected from the impacts of climate change.
6.6 Wellbeings
There are no impacts on wellbeings at this stage.
That the Committee:
1. Receives the report.
2. Agrees to the commencement of the Ruamāhanga Strategy review.

6.2 Māori Responsiveness Action Plan Update
1. Purpose
For the Committee to receive an update on the Māori Responsiveness Action Plan 2023/2024.
2. Significance
The matters for decision in this report are not considered to be of significance under the Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Background
Carterton District Council (CDC) recognises the Declaration of Independence of New Zealand (1835) as the founding document of Aotearoa. Council further recognises Te Titiri o Waitangi / Treaty of Waitangi as creating an enduring partnership between Māori and the Crown.
CDC works with Hurunui-o-Rangi and Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia as mana whenua entities within its district and values the role of hapū and whānau in the social and cultural fabric of the community. The Council acknowledges there are also other hapū in the District and Council will continue to develop meaningful relationships with these groups as the opportunity arises.
Council has statutory obligations to give effect to the principles of Te Tiriti, particularly with respect to ‘partnership’, ‘participation’ and ‘active protection’.
CDC’s Māori Responsiveness Action Plan (MRAP) has been developed to support the achievement of Council’s obligations across five focus areas:
· Māori engagement and participation
· Awareness and understanding of Te Tiriti
· Understanding and use of te reo and tikanga Māori
· Knowledge and use of Te Āo Māori in the Carterton community
· Support of Māori aspirations and strengthening of partnerships with iwi and hapū.
4. DISCUSSION
Since the development of the MRAP in 2019, considerable progress has been made towards the focus area outcomes. Council’s relationships and engagement with hapū have strengthened, in particular with Hurunui-o-Rangi and Ngāti Kahukuraawhitia, and Council’s commitment to understanding and using reo and tikanga have increased markedly. Te reo and tikanga Māori is now visible throughout the Council including the website, documents, meetings,

In late 2022, the Government’s Better Off Funding provided financial support to deliver the MRAP outcomes by June 2027. This funding accelerated progress towards achieving the outcomes by enabling an increase in Māori Liaison staff resourcing from 0.5FTE (20hrs per week) to 1.1FTE (45hrs per week). The Māori Liaison Team consists of two Kaituitui who are responsible for achieving the Plan outcomes.
With increased capacity, since May 2023, significant progress has been made with 56% of actions now complete or implemented as ongoing activities. Key achievements include:
· Compilation of significant Māori names for inclusion in the Council Road Naming Policy.
· Engagement of mana whenua in the review of the Combined District Plan.
· Facilitation and support of relationships between mana whenua and Council teams involved in various projects including the revitalisation of Ngā Tawhai Reserve, Five Towns Trails, Wastewater Reservoirs Project, Māori Representation Review, Hurunui-o-Rangi Waitangi Day event, Long Term Plan, and Waste Transfer Station signage.
· Delivery of Te Tiriti o Waitangi training (August and September 2023) for staff and elected representatives.
· Recognition of Matariki (July 2023), and Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori including the Māori moment (September 2023).
· Supporting staff with their Te Reo Maori language and Tikanga practice learning pathways.
· Dedication to weekly Karakia and Waiata sessions to enhance staff capability and capacity.

6.3 Solid waste management report
1. Purpose
To provide the Committee with an update on the Solid Waste Management service for Carterton District Council.
2. Significance
The matters for decision in this report are not considered to be of significance under the Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Background
MDC, SWDC and CDC utilise the services of Earthcare Environmental Limited for its transfer station and kerbside waste management services.
4. Discussion
Over the last 12 months, Carterton has recycled/reused 568.5 tonnes of waste and landfilled 173.8 tonnes of waste.
The
Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) aims to implement strategies
through a local action plan to make Carterton achieve its zero-waste goal by
2030.
5. NEXT STEPS
The next steps for solid waste management include:
· To install new information signs at Carterton transfer station.
· To seek funding from the Ministry for Environment (MfE) to fund the business case development of an organic waste management facility in the Wairarapa.
· To provide effective zero-waste education to our community for
recycling, waste management, organic waste management as well as
sustainability.
· To target different waste streams and seek opportunities for reducing/recycling/reusing their waste accordingly.
· To minimise litter and illegal dumping across Carterton.
6. CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Climate change
Solid waste creates landfill which releases methane gas and thus depletes our ozone layer, making it one of the biggest challenges for climate change.
6.2 Tāngata whenua
The matters in this report may be of interest to Māori. CDC aims to nurture collaboration with local hapū and undertake collective actions to regenerate papatūānuku. By minimising waste and valuing natural resources, the council is in alignment with mana whenua and its role in exercising kaitiakitanga for te taiao for current and future generations.
6.3 Financial impact
The decisions of this report do not have any financial implications.
6.4 Community Engagement requirements
The decisions of this report do not require community engagement.

1. Purpose
To update the Committee on the progress of major projects.
2. Significance
The matters for decision in this report are not considered to be of significance under the Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Background
The Infrastructure Services Team delivers multiple projects as part of the delivery of the Long-Term Plan.
4. Discussion
4.1 Sewer Network Renewals
G&C Diggers have started the construction on the Lincoln Road sewer main which will move from Victoria Street North towards Belvedere Road.
4.2 Brooklyn Street Water Main Renewal Design
Design for the replacement of the water main on Brooklyn Street between High Street South and Lincoln Road has been started. This will be the next water reticulation renewal project. The route of this pipe replacement will require the pipe to cross under the railway track. A steel sleeve will be drilled under the tracks after which the pipe will be installed through the sleeve.
4.3 Climate Change mitigation – Solar Panel Project
The primary focus of this project is to reduce Carterton’s annual operational cost through the investment of Better Off funding. The climate change benefits are a secondary outcome.
An area of vacant land south of the three Wastewater reservoirs next to Gallon Road was identified to install some solar panels to feed electricity supply to the operations of the treatment plant and eventually to other Council operations.
The preparation for a Resource Consent application is underway. We have engaged Incite, a Wellington resource management consultancy, to prepare the application.
We are also in the process of discussing the project with Ngāti Kahukuraāwhitia.
Consideration
will be given to the effect that solar panels could have on the surrounding
neighbours or roads, as well as the wetlands adjacent to the area.
Concept Layout Plan
4.5 Dalefield Road Sewer
Further sealing was completed to repair some defects on the Dalefield Road sewer. The final claim has been settled and the Completion Certificate issued.
4.6 Lincoln Road dual water main
Downer has applied a layer of asphaltic concrete to repair the sunken trench and will return to do a final layer of seal to finish some minor defects.
4.7 Waingawa Process Water
Following Councils approval of the budget variation, the team started working with contractors to finalise the construction programmes for the various stages of the project. Officers have been in contact with Kānoa representatives to start the extension of time request process.
Concept Design
4.8 Flatpoint Flood Resilience
The Flat Point settlement is situated on the East Coast of the Carterton District Council and has a community of roughly 100 properties that are regularly affected by surface water flooding during high intensity rain events. The Flatpoint Flood Resilience Initiative is to design and build a planted, earthen bund around the western and northern boundaries of the settlement. The bund will redirect surface water flow away from the settlement to where it can discharge to the ocean. This initiative aims to provide resilience to the community during anticipated climate-exacerbated weather events. It is also our intention to re-purpose Cyclone Gabrielle debris for the construction of the bund. The bund will then be stabilised using fit-for-purpose native plants ensuring longevity of the flood mitigation measure.
Instruction
has been given to Egis Consultants to undertake a survey and bund design in
order for the Council to appoint a contractor as soon as possible to start
construction.
5. NEXT STEPS
The Infrastructure Services Team will continue to deliver on these projects and ensure the Committee is informed on progress.
6. CONSIDERATIONS
6.1 Climate change
Climate change is considered in project planning and development as required.
6.2 Tāngata whenua
This report is a regular update which is of interest to all members of our community, including iwi and hapū. However, there are no particular areas of interest or concern contained within this report that require specific iwi or hapū input.
6.3 Financial impact
The financial matters in the report are covered within existing budgets.
6.4 Community Engagement requirements
There are no community engagement requirements required for this report.
6.5 Risks
Project risks are being managed and mitigated as and when required.

Agenda |
|
1. Purpose
To update the Committee on the consents that are currently progressing and highlight any risks for the other current consents.
2. Summary
The annual Drinking Water Quality Assurance report was submitted to Taumata Arowai, with non-compliances noted.
The main consents currently being worked on are the water race renewals and the Kaipatangata water take consent.
A number of expired consents have been on-hold pending further information.
3. Compliance REport to Taumata AroWai
The first summary for the supply was produced for the water supply, showing the supplies have bacteriological, protozoa and residual disinfection.
The first annual report to the regulator Taumata Arowai was submitted for the Quality Assurance Rules. These rules are used to evaluate the compliance for the delivery of safe drinking water, and the majority of the rules are reported for the calendar year from 1 January to 31 December 2023. There were 199 rules as part of the assessment for that the supply.
The year includes the period when Frederick Street UV and control system was being upgraded, which was completed in May.
The report highlighted non-compliances for:
· Missed monitoring data with controls updates, so the council was unable to demonstrate compliance.
· Samples taken at the wrong intervals, such as disinfection byproducts missed in quarter 2.
· Missing instruments, such as the conductivity probe.
· A period of low disinfection.
A number of these
issues have been updated with the controls upgrade and are now compliant for
the next reporting period, and some continue to be worked on to improve the
resilience of the supply.
4. Consents
The waters team manage 8 different consents these are summarised in the table below:

4.16 Service requests
In January we received 34 Service requests for Roading.
4.17 Corridor Access
In January we received 17 corridor access requests (CAR) and issued 16 work access permits (WAP).
Since the introduction of the new fee structure for Corridor Access, we have managed to recover most of our costs from private users. Historically this burden was carried by rate payers.
4.18 Road Asset Management
Ruamahanga Roads and NZTA Waka Kotahi has begun the process of transferring council held roading data held on our Road Assessment Maintenance Management (RAMM) to the NZTA Waka Kotahi Asset Management Data Standard (AMDS). The data transfer process is expected to take one week. AMDS will offer a constant, integrated approach to data structure and asset management for all RCA’s. A digital engineering approach will provide agreed definitions, labels, categories, and asset requirements for all land transport assets throughout New Zealand. It will enable better asset data acquisition, analytics and improved management of transport asset data and allow greater opportunity for collaboration across the roading and transport sector. This will assist with future work planning and strategic through life asset management, improving the decision-making process on evidence-based data. There is an increased emphasis on infrastructure investment and AMDS will assist NZTA and CDC to set expectations to “deliver the right roading infrastructure at the best cost”.
