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. There are, however, encouraging signs as plans emerge for reconstruction, using the

financial statements. The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars (NZD) and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000) unless stated. There have been no changes in accounting policies during the financial year. Contingent Assets As at 30 June 2013 there are 12 facilities on reserve land owned by sports clubs which would become a Council asset if the club vacates the facility. The value

Waimakariri District Council 131021096282

is $3.3m (2012: 12 facilities, $2.8m). This estimate has been based on government valuations for the area. The Council holds two bonds for development commitments of $6.5m (2012: $6.7m). 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. Council will be eligible for reimbursement from central government of 60% of planned earthquake recovery work on infrastructure assets. This is estimated to be $17.2m excluding subsidy income recorded in the financial statements. For the year ended 30 June 2013 the Council recognised income of $3.4m (2012: $3.1m). Insurance recoveries relating to damage on its insured buildings and community facilities were estimated at $8.3m in the Council’s Ten Year Plan. 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 $3.7m (2012: $14.6m). Contingent Liabilities and Contractual Commitments Other than the guarantee of the loan for Oxford Community Trust Oxford Art of $165,000 (2012: 150,000), there are no other significant guarantees. Contractual commitments remaining as at 30 June 2013 for Council’s maintenance contracts totalled $26.0m (2012: $16.5m).

Borrowing Management As at 30 June 2013, the Council held $49.0m in bank debt and bonds (2012: $44.0m). This is lower than the $68.6m budget for debt due to the timing delays of implementing the capital works. Explanation of major variance against budget Explanations for major variations from Council’s estimated figures in the 2012-22 Long Term Plan are as follows: Income Subsidies were lower than budget mainly due to the delay in the New Ashley Bridge project. The actual claims on this project during the year were $63,000 and the budgeted recovery from the New Zealand Transport Authority (NZTA) was $510,000. The construction is expected to start in the 2013/14 financial year. Other revenue is more than budgeted, primarily due to the high level of activity being generated through Resource Consents and Building Services. Development and other contributions were higher than budgeted due to increased development activity in the District. Funds received from development are

Annual Report Summary for the year ended 30 June 2013 131021096282

Other gains of $3.6m included gain on interest rate swaps of $1.6m and gain on sale of land in the Southbrook Business Park of $1.9m. Both items were not budgeted. The Council continued its response to the Canterbury Earthquake events in 2011-12. The Council is entitled to recover certain earthquake related expenditure through our insurers and the Government (including EQC and NZTA). Income of $8.1m has been recorded for the period 30 June 2013, which is $4.5m lower than budgeted. The Council will receive the income budgeted in the Long Term Plan as the recovery work is completed. 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 was $21.0m, compared to $15.2m budgeted. Expenditure District Development expenditure was over budget due to significant increase in Resource Consent processing expenditure as a result of rebuild and development activity in the District.

Infrastructural assets are $9.1m 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 Trade and other payables are $9.7m more than budget due to expenditure on construction projects and deposits and bonds from developers.

There was one measure that ended the financial year in the ‘too early to predict’ category and this was because detailed investigation work for the measure will be carried out closer to 2016/2017.

The fourth measure related to auditing historic consents for compliance of conditions, however an unrealistic target was set at the time.

There were four projects that ended the financial year in the ‘significantly behind’ category. Two measures

Community outcomes and how the activity contributes The Waimakariri District Council identified through its Ten Year Plan how each of its activities contributes to the community outcomes of the Waimakariri District. Community outcomes are the outcomes that a local authority aims to achieve in meeting the current and future needs of communities for good-quality local infrastructure, local public services and performance of regulatory functions. The following tables provides a sample of outcomes from those provided in the Annual Report together with progress on some of the key measures.

• 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.

At the end of the year 88% of all applications were issued within the statutory requirement of 20 working days. Additional consent approval capacity was secured to enable the Building Unit to better meet the demands placed on it. This resulted in an improvement over the last five months where 98% of all applications were granted within 20 working days. The average days lapsed over the financial year was 13 days but this dropped to between 10 and 11 working days over the last five months of the financial year. A small number of jobs were not issued within the statutory requirements over the financial year. The reasons for this are multifaceted but in general can be attributed to occasions where peaks of demand coincided with a shortfall in capacity. In all cases actions have been undertaken to address areas of underperformance.
