Business development in Rangiora and Kaiapoi has been impaired throughout the year as earthquake prone buildings have been closed, repaired, or, in some cases, demolished. Both town centres have been significantly disrupted as landowners work through time-intensive processes with engineers, insurers and tenants.

AUDIT REPORT

Material misstatements are differences or omissions of amounts and disclosures that, in our judgement, are likely to influence readers’ overall understanding of

An audit also involves evaluating: •

the appropriateness of accounting policies used and whether they have been consistently applied;

•

the reasonableness of the significant accounting estimates and judgements made by the Council;

•

the adequacy of all disclosures in the information we audited;

•

determining the appropriateness of the reported the statement of service provision (referred to as Significant Activities) within the Council’s framework for reporting performance; and

the financial statements and the statement of service provision (referred to as Significant Activities). If we had found material misstatements that were not corrected, we would have referred to them in our opinion. An audit involves carrying out procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the information we audited. The procedures selected depend on our judgement, including our assessment of risks of material misstatement of the information we audited, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the District Council and group’s preparation of the information we audited that fairly reflect the matters to which they relate. We consider internal control in order to design procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the District Council and group’s internal control.

•

the overall presentation of the information we audited.

We did not examine every transaction, nor do we guarantee complete accuracy of the information we audited. When reporting on whether the annual report complies with the Other Requirements of schedule 10 of the Local Government Act 2002, our procedures were

limited to making sure the information required by schedule 10 was included in the annual report, where relevant, and identifying material inconsistencies, if any, with the information we audited. This work was carried out in accordance with International Standard on Auditing (New Zealand) 720; The Auditor’s Responsibilities Relating to Other Information in Documents Containing Audited Financial Statements. As a result we do not express an audit opinion on the District Council’s compliance with the requirements of schedule 10. We did not evaluate the security and controls over the electronic publication of the information we are required to audit and report on. We have obtained all the information and explanations we have required and we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence to provide a basis for our opinion.

Overview Ten Year Plan (TYP) This is the first year of the 2012-2022 TYP. The Plan has a ten year outlook but is updated annually as a statutory requirement to reflect necessary and unforeseen changes. The TYP undergoes a full review every three years and will next be reviewed in early 2015. Annual Plan The Council adopted the 2013-2014 Annual Plan after public consultation. Sixty one submissions were received and 41 submitters were heard by Council. Local Government Amendment Act 2012 The Local Government Amendment Act 2012 was passed in December and provided a new purpose statement for local government, new financial prudence requirements, a new intervention and assistance framework, and changes to the procedure to reorganise local government.

The Government has announced its intention to introduce another bill to further amend the Local Government Act in 2013. Results • The Council achieved its target of conducting 95% of its business in meetings open to the public during the year. Some confidential property transactions relating to the earthquake needed to be considered with the public excluded and these had an impact on the overall percentage. •

•

Insurance The Council has full cover for all Council buildings, valued at $266 million for flood, fire and other perils excluding earthquake damage. With respect to all residential and non-residential council property, buildings such as service centres, aquatic centres, community centres and elderly persons housing, as well as the ocean outfall and Oxford sewer systems, insurance cover is also provided for natural disasters such as earthquakes.

Council has been successful in terms of delivering on its non-financial performance objectives. To the year ending 30 June, 75% of Council objectives were met and 21% were almost met.

The Council’s earthquake insurance cover is set at a maximum of $115 million for one or more earthquake events – a significant improvement on the $20 million cover that the Council was able to achieve last year.

DISTRICT DEVELOPMENT

District Development District Development, Managing Effects of Development on the Environment

Overview District Development The year saw 496 resource consent applications received. 311 Land Use consents, 122 subdivision consents and 51 other consents were approved. As at 30 June, 2012 the remaining 12 were in the approval process. When compared with the 291 applications received in the 2011/12 year this significant increase is likely to be a reflection of the community response in earthquake rebuild and development activity. Overall 86% of resource consents were dealt with in statutory timeframes. In accordance with the discount requirements of the Resource Management Act 1991 a total of $2460.20 was paid back to applicants. Comparisons with previous years are not available as any discount only applied to consents received after 1 April 2012.

District Plan Review The Council continued the District Plan rolling review with an expectation that the majority of provisions will be notified by November 2015. This will see an increasing call for community comment on plan provisions over the next few years. Plan topics under consideration this year have included signs, heritage, indigenous vegetation, localised flooding and MR873. Plan changes for Kaiapoi and Rangiora urban design and Mandeville greenfields have been made. Private Plan Changes Council staff have also processed private plan changes including work on finding a suitable area for a small commercial activity in Mandeville and the commissionersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; decision to rezone rural land to residential 4a in Ohoka. The Smith Street Business Zone plan change was assessed and substantial plan changes by Silverstream (business and residential) and

Beachgrove (residential) in Kaiapoi progressed through their subdivision consent stages. Draft Land Use Recovery Plan Staff have been extensively committed to the preparation of the draft Land Use Recovery Plan and the negotiations with interested parties. This covers planning and development to accommodate anticipated community needs for additional residential and business areas (a need generated by the earthquakes) and negotiating these matters with all the interested parties. Rangiora and Kaiapoi Town Centre Development A significant workload has been undertaken in implementing the Kaiapoi and Rangiora Town Centre projects, specifically in relation to the need to respond to building closures due to earthquake damage so that redevelopment is enabled as quickly as possible, and to providing displaced businesses temporary

accommodation. More generally, good progress in difficult circumstances has been made in implementing priority projects to give effect to both town centres’ adopted strategies. For Rangiora, Council decided to accelerate the Red Lion Corner Realignment project and a preferred alignment was confirmed in principle. Staff commissioned a concept plan for a key area north of High Street and are working with property owners to see this come to fruition. Discussions also took place with other key land and business owners to encourage a revitalised and sustainable town centre. Roundabouts at Queen Street have been installed and directional signage into and within the town centre upgraded. Plans were developed to extend the Rangiora Town Hall to become a major District facility and Performing Arts Centre. On and off-street car parking have been improved, and a change was made to the District Plan to introduce additional requirements for the look and feel of new buildings in the town centres (both Rangiora and Kaiapoi). For Kaiapoi, The Williams Street and Charles Street intersection and north of Williams Street streetscape have been improved. Detailed design was developed for a new Kaiapoi Library / Service Centre and plans, including a recreation precinct , have been drawn up for the Kaiapoi riverbanks. Designers also worked on a redeveloped Raven Quay road space east and west of

Annual Report 2012-2013 130802059252

Williams Street. For Rangiora, Council has been holding discussions on (re)development opportunities with property owners. Woodend Pegasus Area Strategy During the 2012/13 year Council staff developed a draft Woodend Pegasus Area Strategy in consultation with an external Steering Group. The draft strategy identifies a vision for the Woodend Pegasus area and proposes a number of directions under four key themes: Connectivity, Business, Community and Open Spaces. Economic Development The top ten priority actions were identified in the Waimakariri Local Economic Development Strategy, adopted by Council in April 2012. This strategy clarifies the Council’s roles and responsibilities in enabling and providing for a prosperous local economy. The priority actions focus on transport and communication, the Council’s regulatory process and performance, business land management and business retention and attraction. All projects have been progressed significantly over 2012/13, particularly streamlining building consent processes, implementing the Council’s town centre strategies and providing immediate business support to the District’s existing businesses This targeted those businesses adversely affected by the closure of dangerous buildings in the District’s main town centres and by other earthquake related disruption. Through the draft Land Use Recovery Plan for greater Christchurch, the

Council also sought additional business land to expand the growing Southbrook business area. Council took steps to attract new businesses to set up in the District and to understand and advocate for the provision for rural broadband needs and demands. In May broadband provider Enable announced the decision to bring fibre broadband to Rangiora and Kaiapoi commercial centres. Also during 2012/13 Enterprise North Canterbury (ENC), a trust jointly controlled and significantly funded by Waimakariri and Hurunui District Councils and a key partner in the development and implementation of the Local Economic Development Strategy, continued to offer a wide range of business networking, support and advisory services. ENC continued to champion opportunities for broadband development in North Canterbury and assessed opportunities to speed up broadband rollout District Promotion ENC also undertakes district promotional services focused on attracting businesses and visitors to the District. It operates the i-SITE visitor information centre at Kaiapoi, undertakes a range of district marketing activities and advises on and provides limited funding for the promotion and organisation of local events.

• Upgrade of access lanes to Blake Street car park delayed due to project scope change because of buildings' demolition though discussions with owners taking place. Five long-term projects were signalled in the Strategy for 2012-22. The status of these is as follows: • Investigate to ensure the protection of the opportunity for long-term roading options, including the extension of Queen and Blackett Streets to East Belt and the construction of an eastern bypass. Investigations in 2010 concluded that an Eastern Arterial is not a viable option in the short or medium term and that there are limited benefits associated with the Blackett Street - East Belt connection, however the future opportunity is protected through land use patterns. • Plan improvements to public transport. Submission put into ECan’s 2012 review of public transport provision. Council staff are active members of ECan’s Passenger Transport Advisory Group and there is ongoing liaison with ECan regarding public transport provision.

SUPPORTING BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT Businesses in the district are diverse, adaptable and growing.

Providing businesses with efficient access to the local and wider transport network, in particular through connections to the State Highway system and Christchurch.

Providing the network for a range of transport modes for people and goods moving around the District for employment, education, leisure, recreation and social activities. At least 75% of vehicle travel is on smooth roads in urban areas and at least 95% is on smooth roads in rural areas.

Percentage of roads in urban and rural areas that reach the standard.

This target is measured biannually as part of the condition rating and roughness survey. Data from NZTA's Road Rating Reports submitted annually to NZTA showed 81% of vehicles travelled on smooth roads in urban areas and 99% of vehicles travelled on smooth roads in rural areas. Roads currently comfortably exceed Council’s roughness target so current work is more than adequate to achieve satisfactory smooth travel.

No more than 5% of the unsealed roading network carrying more than 120 vehicles each day.

Percentage of unsealed roads that carry more than 120 vehicles per day.

2.16% of unsealed roads carry more than 120vpd. Generally few unsealed roads manage to meet the criteria for sealing, while the length of sealed roads in the network is increasing as subdivisions are vested in Council.

Promptly responding to defects in the transport system. More than 90% of faults in the transport network are repaired within 48 hours for emergency faults and 14 days for routine faults.

Promoting a sense of community by providing people and businesses with access to all parts of the District, and providing facilities for all modes of active transport including walking and cycling.

Providing for access and mobility of the road network through parking facilities. Implementation of parking related projects outlined in the Kaiapoi Town Centre Plan and the Rangiora Town Centre Strategy.

Evidence of progression of parking related projects.

Parking changes as identified in the Rangiora Town Centre Strategy were implemented earlier in 2012. This consisted of improved time restrictions and additional on-street parking. This was offset by the temporary loss of on-street parking due to earthquake building closures resulting in barricades blocking off parking areas. No progress has been made on implementing parking projects in Kaiapoi, due to slower than expected progress with the rebuild.

Implement the measures in the Water Conservation Strategy identified for the 2012 to 2014 period. Implementation leak reduction programme by June 2014 and achieve the target level of leakage of 240 litres/ connection/day by June 2015.

Leak reduction programme implemented and target leakage level achieved.

As part of this programme the leakage level in 15 out of 17 schemes has been determined, with one of the remaining two schemes to be tested by November 2013. As Pegasus is a new scheme it is assumed the leakage will be well below the target level and therefore it is not scheduled to be tested at this stage. Council currently meets the target level of leakage in 6 out of 17 schemes (Cust, Garrymere, Kaiapoi, Ohoka, Oxford Rural No.1 and Pegasus). Works are proposed next financial year to reduce leakage in Pines / Kairaki, Mandeville and potentially Summerhill. It is recognised that the target level of leakage may need to be revised to an economic level of leakage in the future.

Investigation has been undertaken into the long term options to improve the financial sustainability of the Loburn Lea and Fernside sewer schemes. The results from the Loburn Lea investigation did not identify any favourable option to reduce the sewer rates however, further investigation is currently being undertaken to assess alternative options. The preliminary results from the Fernside investigation suggest that the best option is to connect into the Eastern Districts Sewer Scheme via Rangiora when the proposed development in the area occurs. The Council's 2013 Customer Satisfaction survey showed that 99% of respondents, who expressed an opinion, were satisfied with the standard of service they received from the Council sewer scheme. This is the same as satisfaction level from the previous survey in 2010.

Carry out Close Circuit TV (CCTV) inspections of trunk sewer mains to assess the condition and identify sources of stormwater infiltration on at least a 2 yearly cycle.

The CCTV work carried out this financial year has focused on the inspection of earthquake damage, which has included extensive inspection of the network in the eastern part of the District. Since the earthquakes a total of 46 kilometres of pipework have been inspected (as at October 2011, results between then and June 2013 were not available at the time of writing), with 14 kilometres being identified for repair or replacement. A programme for CCTV inspections of sewers, not affected by the earthquakes, has been developed based on pipe criticality and a risk based prioritisation. Budget provisions have been made in the 2013/14 Annual Plan for undertaking annual inspections. The results will be used to prioritise repair and replacement works to be undertaken as part of the renewals programme.

STORMWATER DRAINAGE

Stormwater Drainage Managing Stormwater, Minimising the Impact of Flood Hazards, Customer Satisfaction, Community Engagement

Overview The Council has continued with the repair of earthquake damaged stormwater infrastructure in Kaiapoi with the completion of the Kaikanui basin repair, the Courtenay basin repair and the Kaiapoi Cemetery pipe replacement. The existing system in the Red Zone remains functional, but does not provide the same level of service with ponding occurring during rainfall events in some areas. A number of other stormwater projects has also completed this year, including construction of Peraki Street Stage 3 works, construction of the Oxford East drainage upgrade and completion of the East Rangiora Storm Water System. The global consent application for maintenance and minor works in watercourses has been prepared and is due to be submitted to Environment Canterbury

in September 2013 following consultation with stakeholders. Work has also commenced on the comprehensive consent for stormwater discharge from Rangiora.

SOLID WASTE

Solid Waste Waste Collection, Disposal and Minimisation

Overview The Council completed its review of the Waste Management Plan 2009 (WMP) in 2011. The review determined that it was necessary to prepare a new Waste Management & Minimisation Plan (WMMP). Consultation on the draft WMMP was undertaken in early 2012 and the final WMMP was adopted in August 2012. A Solid Waste Analyst Protocol (SWAP) waste audit carried out in 2012 showed that around 36% of waste sent to landfill (5,450 tonnes) is compostable organic waste, and 18% is timber (2,770 tonnes). Funding continues at a level that enables schools to have more access to waste education and to continue the Enviroschools and Sustainable Living programmes. The Council still sells EMBokashi systems and home-composting units at窶田ost to Waimakariri District households. Other initiatives include:

A waste minimisation education programme is provided under contract by Mastagard Ltd, which is free to all schools and pre-schools within the Waimakariri District. The Southbrook Resource Recovery Park (RRP) has been operating for over a year, and seems to be popular destination for residents to carry out recycling and get second hand bargains. RRP recycling has increased by 13% and other diversion by 9% over 11/12 figures. The wheelie bin recycling & refuse bag collection contract has again seen an increase in recycling. Overall kerbside recycling has increased by 6% over the previous year's quantities. Investigations were undertaken this year to determine what treatment (composting) options are practicable for use in this district to treat diverted organic wastes. 窶｢

The capacity of the Cleanfill Disposal Site has

been calculated to enable planning for expansion and replacement of the site. 窶｢

The Canterbury Waste Joint Committee has provided funding toward a number of projects this year which are particularly relevant to this District. These include: - Treated -

Timber disposal options

Non Natural Rural Waste survey

The 2012 Waste Management & Minimisation Plan provides for Council to undertake a range of investigations into services or facilities, to determine how more materials could be diverted from landfill. Further investigations are proposed to consider how best to divert organic waste from residents' rubbish bags and bins, including the provision of multiple bin collection services by the Council. Increases in population equate to increases in waste to landfill if no additional diversion methodologies

The District's growth as a result of increased subdivision and building works has outstripped loss of properties from Red Zone settlements. There has been a slight increase in the number of bins in circulation, but kerbside recycling services and quantities will continue to be affected until the changes in population become more settled.

There are no approved facilities for storage and sorting of earthquake-related building demolition waste in the District, and house demolition waste has not presented too many challenges in 12/13 apart from a few isolated instances of inappropriate dumping. This waste still needs to be managed in order to reduce the impacts that the repair and rebuild of affected buildings could have on the amount of waste sent to landfill. The Council's cleanfill site is still well used for disposal of concrete rubble generated from driveways & footpaths that sustained earthquake damage.

WASTE DISPOSAL (CONT'D) The land is healthy. There is sufficient clean water to meet the needs of communities and ecosystems.

Managing adverse environmental effects on land and water through best practice management at the regional landfill and District disposal and waste transfer sites.

Managing five closed landfill sites at Rangiora, Kaiapoi, Oxford, Mandeville and Cust, in accordance with the consent conditions. 100% compliance with consent conditions for the closed landfills.

Percentage of compliance with consent conditions.

90% compliance was achieved (2012: 100%). One bore at Kaiapoi was unable to be sampled in September 2012 due to its removal during subdivision earthworks and another two have been removed since December. These were all private wells. The Council is seeking a change to the conditions to install and sample from two replacement wells, before the September 2013 sampling round. The groundwater analysis report has been finalised and provided to Ecan. ECan has inspected the sites at Oxford, Mandeville, Kaiapoi and Rangiora and assessed them as having 'minor non-compliance'. Rangiora has mounds and hollows caused by disposal of soil from a number of Council and other earthworks contracts which should be smoothed out; Kaiapoi bores were ‘lost’ as reported and there was also a stockpile of tyres for the BMX track which need to be removed.

RECREATION

Recreation Airfield, Council Owned Community Buildings, Parks and Reserves and Aquatic Facilities

Overview Recreation There was a continuing focus on earthquake recovery in the 2012/2013 financial year. Council secured $2 million in funding from the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust for the redevelopment of the Kaiapoi Riverbanks. Community consultation has been completed, and a design approved for a recreation precinct along the riverbanks. The design includes a skate park, playground, basketball half court, public toilet and a civic courtyard. Population growth resulting from the 40-plus active subdivision developments in the District continued to place pressure on existing green space assets and emphasised the need for additional and alternative assets to be acquired to ensure desired levels of service are maintained. An example of consideration of alternative assets was the needs-based assessment, commissioned to give Council guidance on the provision of indoor

court space and, in particular, the type of indoor court facility that might be required and the best location for such a facility. A second alternative focused on the provision of artificial sports turf. A detailed assessment was undertaken to identify the most appropriate type of artificial turf and the best location for this. A football and rugby specific artificial turf surface to be located at Kendall Park was identified as the most appropriate solution. This was subsequently confirmed by Council and is due for installation in the 2013/2014 financial year. Assisting the development of sports clubs was another key feature of the 2012/2013 year. Resource consent was obtained for the development of a sporting facility at Millton Memorial Reserve to accommodate both the Rangiora Table Bowls and Rangiora Croquet Club. A resource consent was also obtained for the development of facilities for the Riverside Bowling Club at Hinemoa Park. The club was displaced from its

Kaiapoi site due to the earthquakes. This development is currently under construction. There are a number of other key green space projects which have been completed this year. These include: •

Landscaping at the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre, Woodend Community Centre and Rangiora Library.

•

A scaled down redevelopment at Pines Oval, including a new toilet and junior and senior playgrounds.

•

Stage two of the Kairaki Beach car park redevelopment.

•

Development of reserve areas in Waikuku Beach, including new bollards, playground repainting, tennis court resurfacing and the enhancement of the Ashley River Mouth.

•

Installation of pop-up irrigation, levelling and consent to take water from a new well at Mainpower Oval.

•

Deconstruction of the old log cabin at the Ashley Gorge Reserve.

Aquatic Facilities The Waimakariri District Council Aquatic Facilities include the Dudley Park Aquatic Centre, Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre and the Oxford Community Aquatic Centre. Both the Dudley Park and Kaiapoi Aquatic Centres normally operate all year round, with the Oxford Community Aquatic Centre operating from around November to March each year. In addition to this, the Waimakariri District Council has traditionally operated paddling pools at Pines and Waikuku Beaches. There has been a significant reduction in the amount of pool space available, both in the Waimakariri District and the wider Canterbury area, as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes. In the Waimakariri District, the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre and two paddling pools were closed as a result of major earthquake damage.

Number of attendances across all three facilities.

The opening date of the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre was unknown at the time of setting the attendance target of 354,000. A more realistic target of 250,000 was set once it was determined that the Kaiapoi Aquatic Centre would open in August 2013. The total number of aquatic facilities attendances to the end of June for the Dudley Park Aquatic Centre, and to the end of March for the Oxford Community Pool was 262,489, excluding non paying visits such as spectators. The new target was therefore exceeded by 12,489 attendances.

Future plans include the implementation of RFID (radio frequency identification), for items borrowed from the library and the reshaping of services in line with projected population growth.

Collections - The collection from the Kaiapoi Library was removed following the earthquake of September 2010 from the damaged and now, demolished building. The storage facility that it was transferred to, collapsed in a later quake and the collection was then moved into four 40 foot long shipping containers in a random ‘arrangement’ of shelving, furniture, cartons

Customer service improvements – With buildings and collections largely under control, our energy has turned towards new service developments. In March 2012, the Waimakariri District Libraries moved to the Kōtui Library Management System and this move provided plenty of scope for service innovation through new methods of customer communications, integration of library databases, development of the Wheelers’ eBook Platform and the Libraries’ website. Other improvements have come in the form of digital signage, expansion of Aotearoa People’s Network Kaharoa (APNK) wireless to a 24/7 service and wireless printing; electronic kiosks displaying collection items from the Canterbury Museum; and installation of the Inzone Careers service. New online services have included the creation of genre-based Pinterest boards; development of a social reading platform known as BookPsychic; web pages of catalogue search tips,

COMMUNITY PROTECTION

Community Protection Overview Emergency Management (EM) The Council continues to enhance its Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) capability.

CDEM for running emergency operation centres is currently being customised. •

A key lesson learned from national reviews and reports about the Canterbury Earthquakes was the need to further develop community resilience. (i.e. a community’s capacity to look after itself and, in addition to this capacity, the formal response by official emergency response agencies, including the Council). The Waimakariri CDEM has focused on engaging the community in the development of communitybased arrangements to further enhance resilience to emergencies. This approach is consistent with the new direction Civil Defence is taking at a national level, Over the past year the following key resilience projects have been undertaken; •

102

EM has established and actively used a Waimakariri CDEM Facebook page to engage trained CDEM volunteers and the wider community. A web-based product provided by the Ministry of

A tsunami resilience project within the District’s coastal communities has been completed. This has involved the placement of tsunami information boards, reaching agreement with communities on tsunami evacuation zones and establishing community tsunami response plans for each beach community. Since completing this project, the Ministry of CDEM has advised that agreed tsunami evacuation zones may need to be reviewed to take into account the results of new scientific modeling for tsunami hazards. It is expected that consultation around this new information will occur in the 2013-2014 financial year.

•

The four-year project to wire some of the District’s designated emergency centres is on target. This will give these centres the capability to run large capacity generators in the event of a significant mains power failure during civil defence emergencies. So far three venues have received funding from the Council and the wiring at these venues has been completed. Tuahiwi Marae has

also purchased a generator for its new whare (meeting house). •

Two major field exercises were conducted to enhance community resilience in relation to flood hazard from the Ashley River and the effects of a major snow storm on the rural farming community. Both exercises involved significant multi-agency collaboration and consultation with those sectors of the community likely to be affected by the two potential hazards.

•

EM has embarked on a regular (fortnightly) program of pre-recorded and live radio talk back shows with local radio station 104.9 Compass FM. This program is part of a wider public education and awareness program on both civil defence and rural fire matters.

•

A new District CDEM Welfare Plan has been established in collaboration with a range of Government and local community organisations. Part of this plan involves the establishment of a multiagency health and welfare forum that will serve both the Hurunui and Waimakariri Districts during civil defence emergencies requiring welfare services.

Waimakariri District Council 130802059252

There has been only one significant deviation from the Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Ten Year Plan and that has been to bring forward from 2015-2016 the procurement of a dedicated vehicle to support CDEM volunteers. The old CDEM vehicle, due for disposal in July 2012, has been retained as the dedicated vehicle as this option was significantly cheaper than the option of purchasing a new vehicle. Environmental Health The Environmental Health Team has completed audit training in preparation for the introduction of new legislation expected in 2013. The proposed Food Act implements a new system of food premises control, moving away from the current annual licenses and inspections system to a reliance on owner - developed food safety plans with independent audit. So far more than fourteen premises have migrated to this system in the Waimakariri District. The intent of the new legislation is to reduce compliance costs for businesses; however start-up costs will be incurred as businesses develop systems and train staff for the new approach.

Annual Report 2012-2013 130802059252

Other health fees were modified in 2012/13 to better reflect where costs fall. The earthquake has continued to cause disruption to business premises. Some businesses have set up new premises, some have now reopened after rebuilding, others have changed hands or are under new ownership and three have closed. One application was received to increase the number of class 4 gambling machines, however, there has been a net decline in machine numbers across the District.

took place. This excellent result perhaps reflects the good systems that District retailers have in place to prevent direct sales to young people. The team also responded to minor hazardous spills to ensure public safety and prevent pollution. This included dealing with asbestos contamination following two house fires. Members of the team also responded to some 587 noise, nuisance and litter complaints. Animal Control Services The Animal Control Unit is currently staffed by three full-time Animal Control Officers. There are 10,811 registered dogs in the District and 6,808 owners.

The new Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 was passed in December 2012 which gave the Council the ability to have a Local Alcohol Policy. This has gone through a special consultative procedure under the Local Government Act 2002 and public submissions to the policy were heard on 31st July 2013.

Funding for the Unit remains sourced completely from

registration fees. The Unit has a significant role to play in promoting responsible dog ownership and minimising dog related nuisance. This includes educating owners and the public about dog control, talking to schools, providing Impounding animals and imposing fines are also tactics that are employed when necessary.

103

COMMUNITY PROTECTION

While no prosecutions were lodged during this period, the Unit issued 72 infringement notices to encourage owners to exercise more control over their animals thereby reducing nuisance to the public. Earthquake response The Environmental Services Team continued to be part of the first response to the earthquakes, initially checking building safety and then carrying out continual checks on water potability and food safety to ensure public health and safety. Building safety continues to be a major work thrust as the implementation of the Council’s Earthquake Prone Building Policy is brought forward to address risk to public safety in a timely manner. Through this programme some buildings have been declared as dangerous and have either been closed and fenced off or remedial work has been undertaken to remove the danger. The Council’s Earthquake Prone Buildings Policy requires owners to have a detailed engineering assessment completed for each building within two years, and if necessary, strengthen the building to a required standard. One team member is dedicated full

time to this programme and has been seconded to this role for a further two years. Building Control The Building Unit received 2,410 building consent applications, 16% more than last year. Of these, 1,125 were for dwellings, compared to the 902 received the previous financial year. The long term average is 450 dwellings per annum. Over the year the Council’s building inspectors completed over 17,000 building inspections, 55% more than the previous year and 98% more than the preearthquake years. The substantial and sustained rise in dwelling applications over the last two financial years saw the Building Unit utilise the services of a growing band of independent contractors. It is envisaged that the use of agents will be necessary while workloads remain elevated. The Council has employed another four inspectors in addition to this, to meet current and projected demand. Electronic processing of building consents was introduced during the latter part of the previous financial year and

is now well embedded into day to day business with over 85% of all work being lodged electronically. It should be noted that all applications are processed electronically. The bi-annual International Accreditation New Zealand (IANZ) audit of the Waimakariri Building Consent Authority (BCA) was completed in July 2013. At the exit interview the auditors advised they would be recommending renewal of WDC’s BCA accreditation upon completion of five corrective actions. BCA accreditation will remain valid for a period of two years from renewal. The Building Unit maintains a presence in Kaiapoi by locating an inspector at the hub to provide assistance to various project managers and the general public. We envisage this service continuing until it is no longer necessary. The Government has reaffirmed its desire to establish a risk-based consent system where the amount of time spent by Council staff processing and inspecting work is matched to the complexity of the building project. If adopted this could mean simple structures such as farm sheds would have a minimal requirement from

High on the priority list was progressing the establishment of 25 pensioner housing units to replace the 29 units within the Kaiapoi red zone. Land was acquired on Williams Street to undertake this development. Designs were prepared for

Twenty five of the existing 29 units are occupied. These tenants will shift in to the new units when construction is completed. Substantial progress was also made on the reinstatement of the Kairaki Motor Camp on newly developed land,

The earthquakes also significantly damaged some of Council’s housing for the elderly units and community houses. Extensive negotiations with EQC resulted in a pay-out and Council managing a repair contract involving approximately 80% of the properties. Some repair work to pathways and driveways at the units was undertaken following payment from Council’s insurers. Council owned commercial property In Kaiapoi, on the corner of Williams and Charles Streets, in the form of two ground level shops and one large building on the first floor above privately owned shops.

occupation after the earthquakes and were demolished during the year. The intention is to rebuild and re-lease the land. The Southbrook Business Park was developed with 12 lots being serviced and sold during the year. The two major purchasers were MainPower and Continental Caterers. Forestry During the year more milling was undertaken at Woodend, and on smaller blocks around the District. A significant achievement was realised when a forestry agreement was negotiated and signed with Te Kohaka o Tuhaitara Trust. The agreement recognises the need for both parties to proceed in a co-operative manner, sets out requirements for advance warnings on areas to be milled and gives some direction for reinstatement of land following milling.

Accounting Policies Statement of Accounting Policies

The Waimakariri District Council is a territorial local authority governed by the Local Government Act 2002. The Waimakariri District Council (WDC) was formed on 1 November 1989 and constituted under the Local Government Reorganisation Order 1989. WDC consists of the Waimakariri District Council and its subsidiary, Prime Building Compliance Ltd (which was placed into liquidation on 28 April 2010). WDC holds equity shares in the following of its associates, 50% equity share in Te Kohaka o Tuhaitara Trust, 50% equity share in The Waimakariri District Libraries Trust, 50% in Enterprise North Canterbury and 33% equity share in The Waimakariri Arts Collection Trust. The primary objective of WDC is to provide goods and services for the community or social benefit rather than making a financial return. Accordingly, WDC has designated itself and the group as public benefit entities for the purposes of New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS).

WDC’s investments in its subsidiaries are carried at cost in the WDC’s own “parent entity” financial statements. Associates WDC accounts for an investment in an associate in the group financial statements using the equity method. An associate is an entity over which the WDC has significant influence and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The investment in an associate is initially recognised at cost and the carrying amount is increased or decreased to recognise WDC’s share of the surplus or deficit of the associate after the date of acquisition. WDC’s share of the surplus or deficit of the associate is recognised in WDC’s Income Statement. Distributions received from an associate reduce the carrying amount of the investment.

Borrowing costs WDC has elected to defer the adoption of NZ IAS 23 Borrowing Costs (Revised 2007) in accordance with the standardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transitional provisions that are applicable to public benefit entities. Consequently, all borrowing costs are recognised as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Grant expenditure Non-discretionary grants are awarded if the grant application meets the specified criteria and are recognised as expenditure when an application that meets the specified criteria for the grant has been received and approved. Discretionary grants are those where the WDC has no obligation to award on receipt of the grant application and are recognised as expenditure when a successful applicant has been notified of the WDCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s decision. Income tax Income tax in relation to the surplus or deficit for the period comprises current tax and deferred tax.

Deferred tax is the amount of income payable or recoverable in future periods in respect of temporary differences and unused tax losses. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax bases in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which the deductible temporary differences or tax losses can be utilised. Deferred tax is not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or from the initial recognition of an asset and liability in a transaction that is not a business combination, and at the time of the transition, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit. Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the company can control the reversal

Leases Finance Lease A finance lease is a lease that transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, whether or not title is eventually transferred. At inception, finance leases are recognised as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet at the lower of the fair value of the leased item or the present value of the minimum lease payments. Any additional direct costs of the lessee are added to the amount recognised as an asset. The amount recognised as an asset is depreciated over its useful life. If there is no certainty as to whether WDC will obtain ownership at the end of the lease term, the asset is fully depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and its useful life.

financial instruments for trading purposes. However, derivatives are accounted for as trading instruments. Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently at fair value. The gain or loss on re-measurement to fair value is recognised immediately in the Income Statement. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that the WDC would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance sheet date, taking into account current interest rates and the current creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. Non-current assets held for sale Non-current assets held for sale (intended for sale) are stated at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial or subsequent write down of the asset (or disposal group) to fair value less costs to sell. A gain is recognised for any subsequent increases in fair value less costs to sell of an asset (or disposal group), but not in excess of any cumulative impairment loss previously recognised. A gain or loss not previously recognised by the date of the sale of the non-current asset (intended for sale) is recognised at the date of derecognition. Non-current assets (including those that are part of an intended for sale) are not depreciated or amortised while they are classified as intended for sale. Interest

Property, plant and equipment and other non current assets Property, plant and equipment consist of: Operational assets – These include land and buildings, library books, plant and equipment and motor vehicles owned by WDC. Infrastructural assets – Infrastructure assets are the fixed utility systems owned by WDC. Each class includes all items that are required for the network to function, for example, sewer reticulation includes reticulation piping and sewer pump stations. Property, plant and equipment are shown at cost or valuation, less accumulated depreciation and

Subsequent costs Cost incurred subsequent to initial acquisition are capitalised only when it is possible that future economic benefits or service potential associated with the item to WDC and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Depreciation Depreciation is provided on a straight-line basis on property, plant and equipment other than land, at rates that will write off the cost (or valuation) of the assets to their estimated residual values over their useful lives. Land is not depreciated. The useful lives and associated depreciation rates of major classes of assets have been estimated as follows: The depreciation rates used are applied at a component level and are depreciated on the remaining useful life of each component.

Infrastructure assets have all been valued at fair value on a depreciated replacement cost basis.

Investment property Properties leased to third parties under operating leases are classified as investment property unless the property is held to meet service delivery objectives, rather than to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. Investment property is measured initially at its cost, including transaction costs.

161

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

After initial recognition, WDC measures all investment property at fair value as determined annually by an independent valuer. Investment properties were valued as at 30 June 2013 by Kerry Stewart (Val Prof Urb, PG Dip Env Audit, MBA, FNZIV, FPINZ) Darryl Taggart (BCom, (VPM), NZIV, MPINZ) of Darroch Valuations. The fair value is based on open market evidence. Gains or losses arising from a change in the fair value of investment property are recognised in the Income Statement. Forestry Forestry assets are valued annually at fair value less estimated point of sale costs. Fair value is determined based on the present value of expected net cash flows

annually for impairment. Assets that have finite useful life are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fair value less costs to sell and value in use. Value in use is depreciated replacement cost for an asset where the future economic benefits or service potential of the asset are not primarily dependent on the assets ability to generate net cash inflows and where the entity would, if deprived of the asset, replace its remaining future economic benefits or service potential.

discounted at a current market determined pre-tax rate. The valuation is carried out internally and peer reviewed independently. Gains or losses arising on initial recognition of forestry assets at fair value less estimated point of sale costs and from a change in fair value less estimated point of sale costs are recognised in the Income Statement. The costs to maintain the forestry assets are included in the Income Statement. Impairment of non-financial assets Non-financial assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortisation and are tested

162

The value in use for cash-generating assets is the present value of expected future cash flows. If an assetâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount the asset is impaired and the carrying amount is written down to the recoverable amount. For revalued assets the impairment loss is recognised against the revaluation reserve for that class of asset. Where that results in a debit balance in the revaluation reserve, the balance is recognised in the Income Statement. For assets not carried at a revalued amount, the total impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement.

The reversal of an impairment loss on a revalued asset is credited to the revaluation reserve. However, to the extent that an impairment loss for that class of asset was previously recognised in the Income Statement, a reversal of the impairment loss is also recognised in the Income Statement. For assets not carried at a revalued amount (other than goodwill) the reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the Income Statement. Employee benefits Short term benefits Employee benefits that WDC expects to be settled within 12 months of balance date are measured at nominal values based on accrued entitlements at current rates of pay. These include salaries and wages accrued up to balance date, annual leave earned to, but not yet taken at balance date, long service entitlements expected to be settled within 12 months, and sick leave. Liabilities for accumulating short-term compensated absences (e.g. annual and sick leave) are measured as the amount of unused entitlement accumulated at the balance sheet date that the entity anticipates employees will use in future periods in excess of the days that they will be entitled to in each of those periods. WDC recognises a liability and an expense for bonuses where contractually obliged or where there is a past practice that has created a constructive obligation.

Waimakariri District Council 130802059252

Long term benefits Long term entitlements such as long service leave entitlements that are payable beyond 12 months, are calculated on an actuarial basis. The calculation is based on likely future entitlements accruing to staff, based on years of service, years to entitlement, the likelihood that staff will reach the point of entitlement and contractual entitlements information. Superannuation schemes Defined contribution schemes Obligations for contributions to defined contribution superannuation schemes are recognised as an expense in the Income Statement. Provisions A provision is recognised in the balance sheet when the WDC has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event, and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits, the amount of which can be reliably estimated, will be required to settle the obligation. Provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Financial guarantee contracts A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the WDC to make specified payments to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due.

Annual Report 2012-2013 130802059252

Financial guarantee contracts are initially recognised at fair value. If a financial guarantee contract was issued in a standalone arm’s length transaction to an unrelated party, its fair value at inception is equal to the consideration received. When no consideration is received a provision is recognised based on the probability WDC will be required to reimburse a holder for a loss incurred discounted to present value. The portion of guarantee that remains unrecognised, prior to discounting to fair value, is disclosed as a contingent liability. Financial guarantees are subsequently measured at the initial recognition amount less any amortisation, however if WDC assesses that it is probable that expenditure will be required to settle a guarantee, then the provision for the guarantee is measured at the present value of the future expenditure.

Reserves Special reserves are a component of equity generally representing a particular use to which various parts of equity have been assigned. Reserves may be legally restricted or created by WDC. Restricted reserves are those reserves subject to specific conditions accepted as binding by the WDC and which may not be revised by the WDC without reference to the Courts or third party. Transfers from these reserves can be made only for certain specified purposes or when certain specified conditions are met. WDC created reserves are reserves established by

Equity Equity is the community’s interest in the WDC and is measured as the difference between total assets and total liabilities. Public equity is disaggregated and classified into a number of reserves to enable clearer identification of the specified uses that the WDC makes of its accumulated surpluses. The components of equity are:

All items in the financial statements are stated exclusive of Goods and Services Tax (GST), except for receivables and payables, which are stated on a GST inclusive basis. Where GST is not recoverable as input tax then it is recognised as part of the related asset or expenses.

and traffic growth. If useful lives do not reflect the actual consumption of the benefits of the asset, then WDC could be over or under estimating the annual depreciation charge recognised as an expense in the Income Statement. To minimise this risk WDC’s infrastructural asset useful lives have been determined with reference to the NZ Infrastructural Asset Valuation and Depreciation Guidelines published by the National Asset Management Steering Group, and have been adjusted for local conditions based on past experience. Council has estimated impairment of its assets as a result of the Canterbury earthquakes. These estimates contain a high level of uncertainty following the Government’s “red zone” announcement in August 2011. Landfill sites and aftercare provision WDC previously operated refuse landfill sites within the Waimakariri District, which are all now closed. WDC has been investigating the extent of landfill postclosure costs and to date preliminary risk analysis has not identified any additional costs.

Critical judgements in applying WDC’s accounting policies Management has exercised the following critical judgements in applying the WDC’s accounting policies for the period ended 30 June 2013: Classification of property WDC owns a number of properties which are maintained primarily to provide housing for the elderly, affordable community housing and for the provision of future reserves. The receipt of market-based rental from these properties is incidental to holding these properties. These properties are held for service delivery objectives as part of the WDC’s Community Development activity. These properties are accounted for as property, plant and equipment. WDC purchases property as part of its infrastructure development. As a consequence to these purchases, sometimes surplus land may become available. Given the uncertainty over the area required and until the determination of whether the land is surplus or to

insignificant risk of changes in value, in which the WDC invests as part of its day to day cash management. Operating activities include cash received from all income sources of the WDC and record the cash payments made for the supply of goods and services. Agency transactions (for example, the collection of Regional Council rates) are recognised as receipts and payments in the Statement of Cash flows, given that they flow through the WDC’s main bank account. Investing activities are those activities relating to the acquisition and disposal of non-current assets, which are of long term assets and other investments not included in cash equivalents. Financial activities comprise activities that result in changes in the size and composition of the contributed equity and borrowings of the WDC. Changes in accounting policies There have been no changes in accounting policies during the financial year.

be utilised as for WDC services is known, the land is classified as property, plant and equipment.

WDC minimises its risk associated with any potential post closure costs by complying with its responsibilities in terms of the resource consents and has been actively monitoring sites within the operational programme. Investigations are ongoing, and if any costs are identified, these costs will be provided for at that time.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

11. TRADE AND OTHER RECEIVABLES (cont'd) As at 30 June 2013 and 2012, all overdue receivables have been assessed for impairment and appropriate provisions applied. WDC holds no collateral as security or other credit enhancements over receivables that are either past due or impaired. On 18 July 2013, WDC received $9.1m (GST inclusive) from CERA to cover the infrastructural earthquake repair costs incurred up to 30 April 2013. Earthquake repair costs incurred in May and June 2013 have been accrued in Earthquake recovery receivables and will be settled with CERA in the 2013/14 financial year. The impairment provision for rates receivables has been calculated based on expected losses for WDC's pool of debtors. Expected losses have been determined based on an analysis of WDC's losses in previous periods, and review of specific debtors. The collection provisions of the Local Government Rating Act do not apply to Maori freehold land. The impairment provision for other receivables has been calculated based upon a review of specific debtors. Movements in the provision for impairment of receivables are as follows: Group 2013

The Council owns 647 hectares of forestry (2012: 641 hectares), which are at various stages of maturity ranging from 1 to 28 years. Forestry is valued annually as at 30 June based on the estimated worth of the maturing tree stocks in the Council's forests. The valuation method adopted is based on current establishment and tendering costs, factored by the age, at 7% (2012: 7%) compounding interest. The valuation was carried out by the Council's Forestry Supervisor. The valuation methodology has been independently reviewed and is considered appropriate by Dave Janett (registered forestry consultant, NZIF) of Forestry Management Ltd and in accordance with that approved by the New Zealand Institute of Forestry. Coastal Protection Forests Coastal protection forests are on a strip of land 100m - 200m wide from the foreshore inland and from Waikuku Beach south to the Waimakariri River mouth and total 600 hectares of land. The primary objective of the use of this strip is to prevent wind erosion of the unstable fore dunes, with a secondary use being recreation forest. As coastal protection forest this strip has no commercial value and is not included in the forestry asset valuation. On 21 December 2001, Te Kohaka O Tuhaitara Trust, a charitable trust, was formally established as part of the Ngai Tahu settlement and cares for 562 hectares of coastal land between Waimakariri and Rakahuri Rivers. 200 hectares of the 600 hectares of protection forest is located on the Trust land. The object of the Trust is to manage and administer the Recreation Reserves in the interests of Ngai Tahu Whanau and other New Zealanders in terms of the Reserves Act 1977. Te Kohaka o Tuhaitara Trust is in the process of furthering the implementation of the Reserve Management Plan for the Tuhaitara Coastal Reserve. Financial Risk Strategies WDC operates its forestry operations incidental to WDC's core functions. Limited insurance cover is provided for re-establishment costs and third party liability. WDC is exposed to some financial risks arising from changes in timber prices. WDC has a longterm forestry view to harvest the forestry production at maturity and does not expect timber prices to decline significantly in the foreseeable future, therefore has not taken any measures to manage the risks of a decline in timber prices. WDC reviews its outlook for timber prices regularly in considering the need for active financial risk management.

Vested Assets Total vested assets for 2012/13 were $21,461,768 (2012: $17,025,181). Infrastructural assets transferred to the Council from subdivisional properties were $20,707,897 (2012: $16,911,086). Valuation "Land and buildings have been valued at fair value as at 30 June 2013 by Kerry Stewart (Val Prof Urb, PG Dip Env Audit, MBA, FNZIV, FPINZ) of QV Valuations. The basis of the valuation is net current value. Infrastructure assets have all been valued at fair value on a depreciated replacement cost basis. The most recent Infrastructure valuations were performed as follows: - Road assets were valued as at 30 June 2013 by Nigel Lister (BSc & PGDipSci(Surveying), BE Civil) of MWH New Zealand Ltd. - Water, Sewer, Drainage and Waste assets were valued internally as at 30 June 2011 and the valuation was independently reviewed by Graeme Hughson Associate Director – Asset Management of Aecom New Zealand Limited. - Community Facilities assets were valued internally as at 30 June 2013 and the valuation was independently reviewed by John Vessey (Technical Principal Asset Valuation) of Opus International Consultants Ltd. Insurance The Council was advised after the 13 June 2011 earthquake the LAPP fund could not provide earthquake insurance cover for the Council's infrastructure assets. However LAPP provides cover for other peril damage including floods, up to a total claim limit of $100million. Central government has a Disaster Recovery Plan which states that central government will pay 60% of eligible restoration costs. From 30 June 2013 the Council has secured material damage and business interruption insurance with AIG/Vero. The material damage insurance covers Council's residential and non residential properties, Oxford Sewerage Scheme and Eastern Districts Ocean Outfall Sewerage Scheme. Urban Portions of State Highway Network Treasury has confirmed that ownership of the Urban Portions of the state highway network rests with the Crown. Waimakariri District Council has not recognised the urban portion of the state highway network maintained by Land Transport New Zealand in these financial statements. The estimated distance of highway involved is 2.2 kilometres. Land Transport New Zealand maintains the carriageway of the highway in their entirety without any costs accruing to local authorities. The Council is responsible for footpath and a share of the costs of cleaning kerb and channel on these street areas.

Waimakariri District Council 130802059252

17c. IMPAIRMENT (cont'd) The 4 September 2010 earthquake and subsequent aftershocks resulted in damage to the district's buildings and infrastructural assets, particularly in the Kaiapoi and Pines/Kairaki areas. In the past, the Council undertook impairment assessments on its buildings and infrastructural assets and found that an impairment of some of its assets had occurred. The total value of impairment as at 30 June 2013 has increased from the amount recognised in 2012 as now the Council has more information available for those earthquake projects and their costs. The restoration method has been used to estimate the effect of the impairment. Under this approach, the present value of the remaining service potential of the asset is determined by subtracting the estimated restoration cost of the asset from the current cost of replacing the asset that would return the asset to the service potential that existed prior to the asset being damaged For infrastructural assets this was assessed using estimates derived from asset replacement strategies which were developed for the Council's recovery plan from the earthquakes. The Sewer Replacement Strategy was developed by the Council's Project Delivery Unit and adopted by the Council on 22nd May 2013. The Water Replacement Strategy was developed by the Council's Project Delivery Unit and adopted by the Council on 22nd May 2013. The Stormwater Replacement Strategy was developed by the Council's Project Delivery Unit and adopted by the Council on 22nd May 2013. The Roading recovery programme was development by the Council's Roading Unit and adopted by the Council on 22nd May 2013. For Council Buildings and Community Facilities the value of the impairment was assessed using estimates of costs to repair buildings prepared for the Council by Jan Stanway of MWH. Impairment charges were applied against asset values held at the time that the impairment event occurred. Impairment costs are initially offset against the available asset revaluation reserves and, to the extent that the impairment is greater than these reserves, the excess is taken to the income statement. On the 18th August 2011 the Government announced a programme providing options for residents to move from within red zone areas where Council infrastructure is most affected. The Council has derecognised the value of Sewer, Water and Stormwater assets in the red zones. Roading assets in the red zones have been reduced to reflect their reduced expected life.

Interest Rate Risk Borrowings include floating and fixed interest rates. Interest rate risk is minimal as borrowings are managed under policy and hedged with fixed interest rate swaps. The interest rates range 3.50% - 6.83% (2012 3.50% - 9.08%). The weighted average interest cost is 6.8% (2012: 6.2%). Security The Committed Cash Advance Facility with the ANZ (limit-2013: $3m, limit-2012: $5.1m) is secured over the rates of the Waimakariri District Council. This facility was not drawn upon as at 30 June 2013 (2012: nil). Bonds/Notes issued are secured over the rates of the Waimakariri District Council. Refinancing Waimakariri District Council manages its borrowings in accordance with its funding and financial policies, which includes a liability Management policy.

Financial instrument risks WDC has a series of policies to manage the risks associated with financial instruments. WDC is risk averse and seeks to minimise exposure from its treasury activities. WDC has established Council approved liability management and investment policies. These do not allow any transactions that are speculative in nature to be entered into. MARKET RISK Price risk Price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices. WDC is not exposed to equity securities price risk on its investments, which are classified as financial assets held at fair value through equity. Currency risk Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. WDC is not exposed to currency risk, as its treasury policy does not allow WDC to enter into foreign currency transactions and that financial instruments are transacted in New Zealand dollars. Interest rate risk The interest rates on WDC's borrowings are disclosed in note 21. Fair value interest rate risk Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rate. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the WDC to fair value rate risk. WDC's liability management policy outlines the level of borrowing that is to be secured using fixed rate instruments. Fixed to floating interest rate swaps are entered into to hedge the fair value interest rate risk arising where WDC has borrowed at fixed rates. In addition, investments at fixed interest rates expose the WDC to fair value interest rate risk. Sensitivity Analysis If interest rates on borrowings/derivative financial instruments at 30 June 2013 had fluctuated by plus or minus 0.5%, the effect would have been to increase/ decrease the surplus after tax by $63,000 (2012: $13,000).

Cash flow interest rate risk Cash flow interest rate risk is the risk that the cash flows from a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in the market interest rates. Borrowings and investments issued at variable interest rates expose WDC to cash flow interest rate risk. WDC manages its cash flow interest rate risk on borrowings by using floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. Such interest rate swaps have the economic effect of converting borrowings at floating rates and swaps them into fixed rates that are generally lower than those available if WDC borrowed at fixed rates directly. Under the interest rate swaps, WDC agrees with other parties to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed contract rates and floating-rate interest amounts calculated by reference to the agreed notional principal amounts. Credit risk Credit risk is the risk that a third party will default on its obligation to WDC, causing WDC to incur a loss. WDC has no significant concentrations of credit risk, as it has a large number of credit customers, mainly ratepayers, and WDC has powers under the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 to recover outstanding debts from rate payers. WDC invests funds only in deposits with registered banks and local authority stock and its investments policy limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution or organisation. Investments in other Local Authorities are secured by charges over rates. Other than other Local Authorities, the group only invests funds with those entities, which have a Standard and Poor's credit rating of at least A for short term and A for long term investments. Accordingly, the group does not require any collateral or security to support these financial instruments. All Council's cash assets and derivative financial instrument assets are with New Zealand registered banks with the credit ratings ranged from AA- to AA (AA being Kiwi Bank). WDC also owns shares in LGFA (Refer to Note 10) and their shares were rated AA+. Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is risk that WDC will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities and the ability to close out market positions. WDC aims to maintain flexibility in funding by keeping committed credit lines available. In meeting its liquidity requirements, WDC maintains a target level of investments that must mature within the next 12 months and to meet its projected business requirements in the next 12 months. WDC manages its borrowing in accordance with its funding and financial policies, which includes a liability management policy. These policies have been adopted as part of the WDC's Long Term Council Community Plan. WDC does not have a overdraft facility and manages its additional funding requirements through a $10,000,000 bank funding facility agreement (2012: $10,000,000) and Bond/Note issues $49,000,000 (2012: $44,000,000). These facilities are managed within the liability management policy. The maturity profiles of the WDC's interest bearing investments and borrowing are disclosed in note 10 and 21 respectively.

Guarantees The value of guarantees disclosed as contingent liabilities reflects Council's assessment of the undiscounted portion of financial guarantees that are not recognised in the Balance Sheet. Group 2013 Parent 2013

Contingent rent payable has been determined on the basis of the contract schedule of payments and provisions. Leases can be renewed at Council's option, with rents set by reference to current market rates for items of equivalent age and condition. Council does not have the option to purchase the asset at the end of the lease term.

At the date of this report, four matters under that Act indicating potential liabilities of $85,000 (2012:$50,000) had been brought to the Council's attention. Riskpool has not made a call on this Council to fund any deficit in the funds which meet the cost of leaky buildings.

25. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (cont'd)

Unquantified claims

Contingent assets

There are 5 claims outstanding with the Weathertight Homes Resolution Service (WHRS) as at 30 June 2013 (2012: 7). Any claims relate to weather tightness issues of homes in the Waimakariri District and name the Council as well as other parties. Three claims have been accepted in relation to the Department of Building and Housing Financial Assistance Package. The claimants are still deciding on which resolution path to take. The balance have not been assessed. It is uncertain whether these claims are valid and who will be liable for the building defects. Therefore, Council is unable to assess its exposure to the claims lodged. The costs of any successful claims against Council are expected to be substantially covered under the Council's insurance policies. The policy for public and professional indemnity is with Riskpool which has recognised this Council as a low risk for weathertight claims coverage. Riskpool may make future calls on Council for the funding deficit for its possible share. Council is unable to accurately assess the extent of any future liability in relation to leaky buildings.

Council operates under specified agreements whereby sports clubs are able to construct facilities (e.g. club rooms) on reserve land. The clubs control the use of these facilities and the Council will gain control of the asset if the club vacates the facility. Until this event occurs these assets are not recognised as assets in the Balance Sheet. As at 30 June 2013 there are 12 facilities having an approximate value of $3.3 million (2012:12 facilities, $2.8 million). This estimate has been based on government valuations for the area. The Council holds two bonds for development commitments of $6.5 million (2012: $6.7 million). Developers have been bonded to complete the subdivision to Council's requirements. Failure to complete the subdivision will result in Council retaining the bond and completing the outstanding work. The assets will in turn be vested once the subdivision warranty period is complete. The Council has a number of contribution pledges towards the Dudley Park Aquatic Centre which are to be received over the next ten years. As at 30 June 2013, the value of donations outstanding totals $28,000 (2012: $49,000). Contingent assets related to earthquake recovery

Share of associates' contingent liabilities

As a result of the earthquake on 4 September and its subsequent aftershocks the Council has two contingent assets.

Council has not identified any contingent liabilities where it would be severally liable for all or part of the liability.

The first is a contingent asset for subsidies from central government relating to the restoration of infrastructure assets in the District. Government policy is to subsidise 60% of the recovery costs incurred by a Council. In the Council's Ten Year Plan this was estimated to be $17.16 million, excluding subsidy income recorded in the financial statements. For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Council recognised income of $3.4 million (2012: $3.08 million).

Local Government Funding Agency The Council is a guarantor of the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency Limited (LGFA). The LGFA was incorporated in December 2011 with the purpose of providing debt funding to local authorities in New Zealand and it has a current credit rating from Standard and Poor's of AA+.

The Council also has a contingent asset for insurance recoveries relating to damage on its insured buildings and community facilities. In the Council's Ten Year Plan it was estimated that this will be $8.32 million, excluding income recorded in the financial statements. This is contingent upon the Council's Insurer's continued acceptance of claims. For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Council recognised income of $3.7 million (2012: $14.6 million).

The Council is one of 30 local authority shareholders and 8 local authority guarantors of the LGFA. In that regard it has uncalled capitol of $1m. When aggregated with the uncalled capital of other shareholders, $20m is available in the event that an imminent default is identified. Also, together with the other shareholders and guarantors, the Council is a guarantor of all LGFA's borrowings. At 30 June 2013, NZLGFA had borrowings totaling $2.3 billion (2012 $835m).

Emissions Trading Scheme The New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) became law on 28 September 2008 with the passing of the Climate Change Response (Emissions Trading) Amendment Act 2009 (the Act). The Act provides for carbon credits to be allocated to owners of pre-1990 forest land pursuant to the New Zealand Government's Allocation Plan. The Council has registered its pre-1990 land to receive its entitlements. The latest figures held by The Ministry of Primary Industry shows Council pre 1990 forest being 150.58 hectares.This provides an allocation of 9,060 carbon credits at 30 June 2013. The current market value is $ 18,120 (2012: 8,880 carbon credits $42,624 estimate).

Financial reporting standards require the Council to recognise the guarantee liability at fair value. However, the Council has been unable to determine a sufficiently reliable fair value for the guarantee, and therefore has not recognised a liability. The Council considers the risk of the LGFA defaulting on repayment of interest or capital to be very low on the basis that: • it Is not aware of any local authority debt default events in New Zealand; and • local government legislation would enable local authorities to levy a rate to recover sufficient funds to meet any debt obligations if further funds were required.

Additionally, under the ETS the Council will have an obligation to account for any emission released as a consequence of deforestation of pre-1990 land by surrendering credits equal to the extent of that emissions. The Council has no liability for deforestation as at 30 June 2013 (2012: Nil)"

Local Authority Protection Programme The Council is a member of the Local Authority Protection Programme (LAPP). If there is shortfall (whereby claims exceed contributions of members and reinsurance recoveries) in any Fund year, then LAPP may make a call for additional contributions from its members. Council’s financial exposure to this is up to 5 times of its annual insurance premium and up to a maximum of 2 times a year. Council is not aware of any calls for additional contributions from LAPP in the current year (2012: Nil).

28. LANDFILL SITES AND AFTERCARE PROVISION All Council refuse landfill sites within the Waimakariri District have been closed. The Council has responsibility to put in place procedures for managing and monitoring these landfills. The Council is complying with all its responsibilities in terms of the resource consents and has been actively monitoring sites within the operational programme. The Council is also currently investigating the extent of landfill post-closure costs.

30. EVENTS AFTER BALANCE DATE There was a storm event on 10th September 2013, which has damaged about 13% of Council’s forestry assets. The estimated loss in forestry value, clean-up costs and repairs to fences after the sale of damaged trees is about $270,000 and not considered significant and will be covered by any existing forestry reserves (2012: none).

To date preliminary risk analysis has not identified any additional costs. Investigations are continuing, and if any costs were identified, these would be provided for at the time. Recent subdivision civil works adjacent to the Kaiapoi closed landfill have required the relocation and redevelopment of groundwater monitoring bores, which will interrupt the history of water quality results.

31. EXPLANATION OF MAJOR VARIANCES AGAINST BUDGET Explanations for major variations from Council's estimated figures in the 2012/2022 Tern Year Plan are as follows:

29. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT The Council's capital is its equity (or rate payers' funds), which comprise retained earning and reserves. Equity is represented by net assets. The Local Government Act 2002 (the Act) requires the Council to manage its revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings prudently and in a manner that promotes the current and future interests of the community. Ratepayer's funds are largely managed as a by-product of managing revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, investments, and general financial dealings. The objective of managing these items is to achieve intergenerational equity, which is a principle promoted in the Act and applied by Council. Intergenerational equity requires today's ratepayers to meet the costs of utilising the Council's asset and not expecting them to meet the full cost of long term assets that will benefit ratepayers in future generations. Additionally, the Council has in place asset management plans for major classes of assets detailing renewal and maintenance programmes, to ensure ratepayers in future generations are not required to meet the costs of deferred renewals and maintenance. The Act requires the council to make adequate and effective provision in its Long term Plan (LTP) and in its annual plans (where applicable) to meet the expenditure needs identified in those plans. The act sets out the factors that the Council is required to consider when determining the most appropriate sources of funding for each of its activities. The sources and levels of funding are set out in the funding and financial policies in the Council's LTP. The Council has the following created reserves:

-reserves for different areas of benefit, including replacement provisions

-self-insurance reserves; and

-trust and bequest reserves

Reserves for different areas of benefits are used where there is a discrete set of rate or levy payers as distinct from the general rate. Any surplus or deficit relating to these separate areas of benefit is applied to the specific reserves. Self-insurance reserves are built up annually from general rates and are made available for specific unforeseen events. The release of these funds generally can only be approved by Council. Trust and bequest reserves are set up where Council has been donated funds that are restricted for particular purpose. Interest is added to trust and bequest reserves where applicable and deductions are made where funds have been used for the purpose the were donated.

Annual Report 2012-2013 130802059252

INCOME STATEMENT INCOME Subsidies and Grants were lower than budget due to the delay in the New Ashley Bridge project. This project is now expected to be completed in 2013-14. Development and other contributions were higher than budgeted due to increased development activity in the District. Funds received from development are recognised as income where capacity in the network exists. Excess funds are held in reserves and applied as the funding is required. Actual $14.5m, Budget $11.3m. The Council continued its recovery from the Canterbury Earthquake events. The Council is entitled to recover certain earthquake related expenditure through our Insurers and the Government. Income of $8.3m has been recorded for the period ended 30 June 2013, compared with a budget of $12.6m. Other Gains include unbudgeted gains from the sale of the Southbrook Business Area Development $1.9m and gains on the Council's derivative instruments of $1.6m. Assets vested into Council ownership relates to the assets received from subdivisional developments. The actual amount vested is highly variable from year to year as it is dependent on the progress of subdivision developments within the district. The total vesting to 30 June 2013 was $21.0m compared to the budget of $15.2m. EXPENDITURE District Development - Expenditure was over budget for resource consent processing services by $0.7m. This was due to increased demand for consents from the rebuild of the District after the Canterbury Earthquakes. Water Supply - Expenditure was over budget by $0.7m as a further impairment of $0.6m was made to the value of Pines Kairaki water assets. Sewerage and the Treatment and Disposal of Sewage - Expenditure was under budget by $1.8m. Interest was under budget by $0.8m as debt for the activity was below budget due to delays in the capital programme. Depreciation expense was below budget by $0.7m. Community Protection - Expenditure was over budget for building consenting services by $1.2m. This was due to increased demand for building consents from the rebuild of the District after the Canterbury Earthquakes. Property Management - Expenses were over budget due to the change in fair value from the revaluation of forestry assets of $1.2m and expenses in relation to the sale of the Southbrook Business Area Development. Earthquake Recovery - Expenditure was under budget by $1.5m. Interest was under budget by $0.5m as debt for the activity was below budget due to delays in the capital programme. Operating expenditure for maintaining earthquake damaged infrastructural assets was below budget as the maintenance required is reducing over time.

31. EXPLANATION OF MAJOR VARIANCES AGAINST BUDGET (cont'd) COMPREHENSIVE INCOME The Council recorded a $27.1m gain on asset revaluation (budget $32.6m). This represents the increase in the value of roading, reserves and land and building assets which were revalued at 30 June 2013. The impairment of assets resulted in a decrease in the asset revaluation reserve of $7.4m. This represents the change in the Council's assessment of the impairment to the Council's assets, which was not budgeted for. BALANCE SHEET Assets Current assets are $25.2m higher than budget. Cash is higher than budgeted due to an insurance settlement received for Earthquake Recovery work and bonds held for work required by developers applying for resource consents. Receivables are over budget because of the accrual of $8.7 million of government reimbursements of earthquake recovery expenditure. Infrastructural assets are $9.1 million lower than budget due the impairment of assets as a result of the Canterbury Earthquakes and capital projects being delayed, also as a result of the Canterbury Earthquakes. Liabilities Borrowings (Current and non-current) are $19.6m under budget, mainly due to Earthquake recovery projects not progressing as budgeted.

Council staff are currently developing the content of a District Plan Change to then recommend to the Council. This includes collating supporting information on the environmental constraints that will need to be understood in order to effectively implement a Plan Change, which will enable the land in MR873 to be used in the manner as set out in Kemps Deed and the Crown grant of 1862, that is, as places of residence and living for the grantees and those who come after. In the interim, Council staff are also collating the response from the recent consultation on issues and options for development. Five forms of development were identified which would provide additional housing within the reserve. The feedback from this consultation will help to inform Council in its decision to make changes to the District Plan. Those changes will then be put out for formal public consultation before any changes to the District Plan are made.
