PUBLIC FORUM:
Jeni Greenland, Elected Chair of Waimangaroa Water Board addressed Council withregards to the Waimangaroa Water supply and Agenda item 12, Waimangaroa Water Supply – ProjectUpdate.TheWaimangaroaWaterBoard (WWB) was established in April 2008andMsGreenlandadvisedthattheboardwasformedtorepresenttheconsumersoftheWaimangaroaWaterSupplywhowillworkwiththeBullerDistrictCouncilandtheDistrictHealthBoardtomakedecisionsonhowtoestablishawatersupply,whichisincompliancewiththeHealthDrinkingWaterStandards.
Ms Greenland, spoke to report and firstly commended Group Manager Assets andInfrastructure(MDuff) for the report. Spoke to page 156 of the report, “the location is on Council reserve and almost certainly draws from the same aquifer source, being upstream only a small distance”- MsGreenlandadvisedthatthisdistanceisover150mawayto the proposed bore site and there is no hole there and assuming, could be the mother of all evils in thiscase. MsGreenlandwanted tomakeCouncillorsaware that thecouncil’sadministrations preferred option has not been drilled and there is no certainty there is waterinthatlocation.MsGreenlandreferredCouncillorstopage157ofthereport, “In addition, a 12 month water quality test period was recommended to monitor microbiological and nitrate-n across all seasons” the details of this report also stated ‘beforecommittingtothatsiteasadrinkingwaterbore’.MsGreenlandalsoadded that the rates figures that have been presented are GST exclusive. The report is a fairrepresentation of the situation.
Ms Greenland continued to address council with a multitude of problems that theWaimangaroaresidentsarefacingwithregardstothepublicdrinkingwaterissuesinthearea.
Concernswereraisedoverthepredicted rate increase andhowthis isnotgoingtobeviableforthecommunity.AbriefratepayersurveywasconductedbyWWBandasked‘Will the predicted rate increase to $1150.00 (incl GST) to fund treated drinking water be affordable by you?” Theresponsewasanoverwhelming Noby61/2.
Buller District Council has not yet drilled a test hole, let alone a production bore at their preferred site. This raises concerns that water may not even be at that site. Therecommendations via the last technical report stated that a 12 month testing regime to be carried out before committing to the site as a production bore.
4 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
TheWWBfeelthattheallocatedbudgetfortheprojectis under-costed and the budget willblowout. Thiswouldmeanfurtherrate increases for the residents and the design stagehasnotcommenced.WWBhasstatedfromthebeginningthattheprojectneedstobeaffordable,able togrowand forward thinking i.e. generatepowerelsewhere in theschemetooffsettheyearlycosts.Watermeteringhasnotbeencostedinoradvisedhowthiswillbeimplemented.WWBmembersaresplitontheirdecisionifindividualpropertiesshould be monitored.
MsGreenlandaskedif Council has considered looking closer at Option C.
TheWWBweretoldbytheMinistryofHealthorCanterburyDistrictHealthBoard(cannotconfirm)that‘The community can reject a project if the cost of the scheme outweighs the benefits’ so wheredoes that leave the Waimangaroa community?
The added insult is the Government is currently discussing themandatory adding ofchlorine to water drinking supply. Waimangaroa residents do not want chlorine orchemicalsaddedto theirwatersupplyatall. MsGreenland isawareof2residentsofWaimangaroawhoareallergictochlorine,doweforcethosepeopletodrinkandwashinit?
WWBwantCouncilontheirbehalf to let thegovernmentknowhowthe‘RealCoaster”feels about chlorine or any other toxin beingaddedtoourwatersupply.Tothatend,anunsolicited petitionwas tabled showing 90+ people do notwant chlorine or any otherchemicaladdedtotheWaimangaroawatersupply.
MsGreenland’s research led her to theHumanRightsCommissionwho had publicly releasedadiscussionpaperin2011andtheirstanceis:
“Affordable water requires that direct and indirect costs including both connection and delivery cost related to water should not prevent a person from accessing safe water and sanitation and should not compromise access to other basic services including food, health and education.”
Onpage6ofthepaper,theydefinethefollowing:
‘Affordability, which means access to water facilities and services must be accessible at a price that is affordable for all people’.
‘Acceptability, which refers to water and sanitation services being culturally and socially acceptable’.
‘Applying the Human Rights approach includes participation of citizens in water related matters’.
Ms Greenland asked the Councillors to consider what is a fair price for visitors andresidentsalike toaccesscleanwater. MsGreenlandaskedCouncillors topleasenotdecide in haste to keep a subsidy, ensure that the right system at a fair price is put in place.
5Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Questions fromcouncillors:
Councillor E Miazga, sought clarificationwithregardstothewatertankoptionandhadresidents considered footingthebillthemselves?MsGreenlandadvisedthatithadbeenconsidered as there are many other factors that needed to be considered in regards to publicaccesstowater,fireandemergencyrequirements.
Councillor J Cleine, questioned inMsGreenland’sopeningwhereshestated “that the board was formed to represent the consumers of the Waimangaroa Water Supply who will work with the Buller District Council and the District Health Board to make decisions on how to establish a water supply, which is in compliance with the Health Drinking Water Standards”. IftheDrinkingWaterStandardswerechangedtoincludechlorine,would the WaimangaroaWaterBoardno longerwant toadhere to thedrinkingwaterstandards?MsGreenland,advised that if itwasa lawbygovernment, then theycan’tnothave it.However would like to think that Buller District Council would have submitted and supported their residents of theDistrictwho did notwant this to be included into anyamendments to the standard.
Councillor D Hawes, commended the board for forming and being proactive in their approach. Councillor D Hawes, sought clarification around the affordability and the ongoing cost to the residents. Is there a level of affordability for the residents? Ms Greenlandadvised that thequestionhadbeenposedandno residenthasprovidedafigureofaffordability.However,shebelievestheresidentswouldbecontentifthecostingswerein-linewithReeftonorInangahuaproposedcostings.

Councillor GNeylon,askedhowrobusttheexisting watersupply is and should a storm hit could Waimangaroa residents be facing issues?MsGreenlandadvisedthatyes,itcouldbegonetomorrow.

Further Discussion:
Councillor S Roche, stated that there are councillors who support the idea ingeneral, however the wording of the recommendation is unacceptable and is aggressive.

13Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Councillor J Cleine reminded Councillors SRoche & S Barry that this is setting framework inwhichprovides theability toprovideameasured response. Thearguments are based on facts. We are here to support the residents of the District.
Councillor D Hawes, understands the need to support the District. Thisrecommendation is not good discussion or gooddebateanddoesnotallowustotake the moral high-ground.
DRAFTRECOMMENDATION
1. CouncilapprovesparticipationinaregionalresponsetotheCrown’spolicyannouncementonnonewminingonconservationland,notingthataccessto low quality stewardship land and wind-blown timber will be ancillarymattersthatwillformpartofaresponsetotheCrown.
2. Council mandates the Mayor (or the Councillor acting as Mayor in the absenceoftheMayor)toparticipateinformulatinganappropriateresponse andtocommitamaximumof$20,000towardsthecostofsucharesponse,subjecttothefollowingbroadprinciplesbeingcompliedwith:
a. the response must be as a region, united in purpose and methodology. This should ideally extend to actions of groups outside of the Mayors and Chairs.
b. the Coast has the basis of strong argument to be offered in relation to the Crown announcement. The response should befactual rather than overtly emotional and attacks on individuals should be avoided. However, as first step, it should be established what exactly are the implications of the policyannouncement, i.e. is stewardship land involved in the policyand,ifsowhy,whatconstitute“new”mining,i.e.ismovingamining operation from one block to anadjacentblockalreadyapprovedbyDOCdeemedas“new”.
c. forthatreason,thefactualbaseforanyargument/responsemustbebeyond reproach and must be able to hold up in the face of scrutiny and, more importantly, attack.
d. an important aspect of our combined response should be a professional PR campaign to put a balanced, factual position outthere aimed at garnering public support for our factual response. We have to expect that a campaign to discredit the regional response will be lodged and have to accept that networksformisinformationandcoercionarewell-established.
e. we will be under intense media and public scrutiny. Our conductamidst challenge to our response and its factual base must, at all times remain assertive, but respectful and any physical or verbal aggression should be avoided.
3. AkeyaspectoftheCouncilresponseshouldbethattheCrown:
14 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
a. consults with affected regions before it makes policy statementsand that such consultation is actively integrated into the policy that is then announced. The very same Crown expects localauthorities to consult extensively with their communities(somethingwhichwegladlydo)beforepolicyismade,anditwouldbegoodfortheCrowntodothesame.
b. considers the social and economic impact of any policy indications on regions before such indications are given.
4. TheMayorprovidesCouncillorswithregularupdatesonthedevelopmentofan appropriate regional response and, if required call an extraordinary Council meeting to attend to business that falls outside of the mandate as outlined above.
MayorGHoward, as the mover of the recommendation took on board the debate and comments made around the written recommendation. Mayor G Howardproposed a newamendmentpriortoputtingtherecommendation.

Councillor DHawes, thanked MayorGHoward for removing the inflammatory text. CouncillorHawesadvisedthatStewardshiplandstillrequirestobeassessedforconservation values and may still be of high conservation value.Doesnotwanttohamper the Councils cause by entering into an argument about the quality of the land.The‘need’toaccessisstillinflammatoryasthereisnot‘need’toaccesstheland. MayorGHoward,proposedtoamendthewordinginpoint1.toremovethewords‘lowquality’.CouncillorDHawes agreedwiththisamendment.
Councillor PRutherford, believes that items of this nature need to be debated at length and believes thatCouncilmaybenaïve ifwedidn’tunderstand that thisrecommendation is to put together a Regionalresponse.
Themotionwasput:
RESOLVED that:
1. Council approves participation in a regional response to the Crown’s policy announcement on no new mining on conservation land, noting that access to stewardship land and wind-blown timber will be ancillary matters that will form part of a response to the Crown.

Council mandates the Mayor (or the Councillor acting as Mayor in the absence of the Mayor) to participate in formulating an appropriate response and to commit a maximum of $20,000 towards the cost of such a response, subject to there being a factual base for any argument/response must be beyond reproach and must be able to hold up in the face of scrutiny.
3. A key aspect of the Council response should be that the Crown:
a. consults with affected regions before it makes policy statements and that such consultation is actively integrated into the policy that is then announced.
b. considers the social and economic impact of any policy indications on regions before such indications are given.
4. The Mayor provides Councillors with regular updates on the development of an appropriate regional response and, if required call an extraordinary Council meeting to attend to business that falls outside of the mandate as outlined above.

Attachment B – Responsible Camping Improvements
Buller District Council (BDC) Proposal BDC Responsible Camping Peak Season Initiatives – Funding Proposal – August 2018 Council have been tasked with the implementation of this work for the Buller District. Glenn Irving will be the project manager and point of contact for all work related to this fund. Council has received a grant of $582,000 for this work. Assuming all consents can be obtained and the bylaw review doesn’t present any opposition to our plans, we would utilise it as follows:
1. Review of the Freedom Camping Bylaw
The current bylaw was written in 2012, but given the changing nature of responsible camping and the additional pressure it has put on our special places council wishes to review and update the bylaw to reflect our current thinking on how this sort of camping can be managed. This work will be executed by outside contractors due to a lack of in‐house capacity at present. There is also strong interest from other coast councils to contribute to this review to ensure consistency of message across the West Coast. Total Cost = $20,000.
2. Compliance
The main area of our district that requires an increased compliance presence is the Coast Road, between Whitehorse Hill and Barrytown. This section of road sits within both the Buller District and the Grey District, so a coordinated response is required. BDC plan to cover the cost of compliance on both sides of the district border, with a presence along the length of this road both morning and night for 20 weeks from December 1st to April 21st. Costs: Wages = $12,600, Uniforms = $400, Vehicle costs = $27,000 Total Cost = $40,000
3. Infrastructure Facilities / Services
BDC has reviewed the services and facilities currently available for freedom campers, and has identified the following sites that will need to be developed:
Ngakawau Recreation Reserve – utilising existing toilets, develop a parking area behind the community centre to cater for freedom campers. Install rubbish / recycling facility. Total Cost = $140,000
Fox River – Utilising existing toilet facility, undertake earthworks and planting to demarcate a freedom camping area that is distinct from the rest of the area around Fox River. This area has taken a beating in recent storm events, so considerable earthworks will be required at this site to set it up properly. Total Cost = $60,000
McMillan Road – this site is south of Punakaiki and sits on DOC and Grey DC land. The development of this site has been agreed to by the land owners, but will be funded by Buller DC as Grey does not have the funds to do so. Not doing anything in
57Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
this area will only result in significant degradation of the site. Work will involve the development of a well set up overnight parking area, and other planted bunding to control the flow of traffic around the site. Total Cost = $52,000.
Reefton – undertake earthworks and planting to create a well‐defined area for freedom camping and ensuring that the majority of the area is still available for day users in a popular riverside reserve. Install a new toilet facility next to the newly developed freedom camping area. Total Cost = $170,000
Rubbish bins x4 in key locations across the district. Total Cost = $13,000 Operation costs to service facilities = $12,000
Total Cost for Infrastructure and operational costs = $447,000
4. Communications / Signage
BDC plans to review all signage across the district in relation to freedom camping, and work with the other coast councils to create a suite of signs that are consistent in message but reflect the “brands” of the three districts. This signage would include:
Site layout signs to direct people to appropriate parking locations Responsible camping signage to educate people on how to protect our natural
environment Signage to direct people to places where freedom camping is allowed or the nearest
paid camping facilities.
These signs will be spread across the district – the exact locations of these signs cannot be determined until the by‐law review has been undertaken and we know what will and won’t be allowed under that by‐law. It is expected that this signage will be of a quality to last for a number of years into the future. This cost covers the design and installation of all signs.
Total Cost = $30,000. Website improvements and brochures – BDC will review our website material, and produce new brochures to educate our visitors. Total Cost = $20,000
5. Responsible Camping Scheme
Develop a program that rewards people for demonstrating responsible camping behaviour across the district, working with the industry and local businesses to develop a concept that works for everyone and encourages the type of behaviour we all appreciate. Total Cost = $25,000

“The MoH acknowledges the Buller District Council’s strategic direction in managing drinking water infrastructure within its District. Councils are ideally placed to provide these services to fulfil their obligations under the Local Government Act, Resource Management Act and Health Act as they relate to the provision of safe drinking water. The safe operation of drinking water supplies requires specific expertise and co-ordination between agencies to ensure management is holistic and sustainable. Failure in these key areas were identified as contributing factors to the
Havelock North water supply contamination incident.”

Capital Works
Capital Works is a key portfolio responsible for delivering value-for-money renewalandupgradeprojectson behalf of the community.
Capital Works focuses on programs including project start-up, district revitalisation, major project delivery and specialist procurement/contractmanagement services. Thediscreteprogramsareillustratedbelow.
74 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Service Delivery Model
The service level objective for Capital Works is to provide an effective project delivery and procurement/contract management serviceinfluencing successful performance outcomes in terms of scope, budget, schedule, quality, safety and risk management.
A service delivery modelwhichsupportsafulllifecycleapproachtoCapital Works is imperative to exercise due diligence and ensure no surprises.
Thisfull lifecycle requires proper preparation, planning and execution including:
• Projectstart-up (initiation and business casedevelopment)• Front-endloadingstudyphases(concept,selectionandfeasibility)• Implementation(detaileddesign,procurementandconstruction)• Closeout(operationalreadiness,handoverandlessonslearned)
Improved project structure, resourcing and application of best practice methodology will drive more efficient implementation, maximise opportunities, reduce impact of change and manage risk.
Benefits include newstandardsofprojectdelivery, more predictable and desirable results and completing the program commitments Council has made to the community.

3.3. Changes to Government Policy/Strategy
Section317oftheGamblingAct2003requiresanintegratedproblemgamblingstrategy focused on public health be prepared and updated every three years. It must include measures to promote public health, services to treat and assist problem gamblers and their family / whānau, independent scientific research and evaluation.

The Ministry carried out a needs assessment as part of the draft strategydevelopmentprocess.Thisprocessinvolvedareviewofavailableresearchandalso consultationwithstakeholdersfromthegamingindustryandgamblingharmprevention sectors. The Ministry found that harm reduction impacts haveplateaued over the last seven years and that health inequities persist for the most affected at-risk population groups. These include Māori, Pacifica, and Asian communities, and people living in the most deprived areas. They found thatapproximately 50%of all electronic gamingmachines (pokies) are in themostsocio-economically deprived areas. The Ministry concluded that changes are required to reduce future gambling harm. This proposed strategy will haveimplications for national and local authority policy makers.

Buller District Council Policy
CLASS 4 GAMBLING AND TOTALISATOR AGENCY BOARD (TAB) VENUE POLICY
Source: Council Date: 23/09/2009 Reviewed: 30/06/2015 Next review: 30/06/2018 See also: Gambling Act 2003, Racing Act 2003
PURPOSE
To manage the establishment of Class 4 gambling and TAB venues to minimise the
adverse effects of gambling on the Buller district.
BACKGROUND
This policy applies to Class 4 and Totalisator Agency Board (TAB) gambling, and to Class 4
gambling and TAB venues.
Class 4 gambling is gambling that involves the use of gaming machines outside a casino,
and from which the profits are distributed to authorised purposes (i.e. back to the
community).
Class 4 venues are the licenced premises where gaming machines are located.
TAB venues are premises that are owned or leased by the New Zealand Racing Board
and where the main business carried on at the premises is providing racing betting or
sports betting services under the Racing Act 2003.
121Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018

COUNCIL CONSENT FOR CLASS 4 GAMING MACHINES AND TAB VENUES
Consent is required from Council for the following:
To establish a new Class 4 venue.
To increase the number of gaming machines at an existing Class 4 venue to more
than the number operating at that venue on 22 September 2003, or more than the
number previously consented to by Council.
To establish a new TAB venue.
The first time application is made to the Department of Internal Affairs for a Class 4
venue licence for a venue which did not hold such a licence on 17 October 2001.
Any building which holds a venue consent and which is destroyed or damaged by fire or
other hazard may have that consent re-approved without further public notification.
Such re-approval will not apply to any relocation of venue.
KEY ISSUE ONE
There are some recognised benefits from allowing Class 4 and TAB gambling. A number
of community groups rely on funding from the proceeds of Class 4 gambling. Some
members of the community derive entertainment from these forms of gambling, and
participate in them responsibly.
OBJECTIVE
To allow those who wish to participate in gaming machine and TAB gambling to do so
within the district.
POLICY
Class 4 gambling venues and TAB venues may be established in Buller subject to:
1. Meeting application and fee requirements; 2. The primary activity of the premises being onsite entertainment, recreation, or
leisure focused on persons 18 years and over; and
122 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
3
3. The premises being authorised under the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012 to sell and supply liquor for consumption on the premises.
METHOD OF IMPLEMENTATION
Applications for Council consent must be on the approved form and must provide:
1. Name and contact details for the application;
2. Street address of premises proposed for the venue;
3. A site plan covering both gambling and other activities proposed for the venue, including details of each floor of the venue and location of each gaming machine or TAB;
4. Details of the proposal including the number of gaming machines or other
gambling facility;
5. Details of liquor licence(s) applying to the premises; and
6. Any relevant gambling harm minimisation policy.
Application fees for territorial authority consent will be set annually as part of the Annual
Plan process.
The applicant is responsible for meeting the cost of publicly notifying the application.
Applications will not be considered until all of the required information has been received
and the application fee has been paid. Council may request additional information if it
considers it necessary to making a decision on an application.
EXPLANATION/REASONS
By allowing Class 4 and TAB venues to establish in Buller, we are allowing those who wish
to participate in these types of gambling to do so.
By specifying the types of premises which are suitable to be Class 4 and TAB venues, and
by requiring applicants for consent to provide detailed information about their proposal
123Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
4
before a decision is made on their consent allows us to minimise the potential for adverse
effects arising from gambling.
KEY ISSUE TWO
There is the potential for gambling to cause harm to individuals, and the community as a
whole, especially in cases of problem gambling.
OBJECTIVE
To prevent and minimise the harm caused by gambling, including problem gambling.
POLICY
The maximum number of gaming machines allowed at Class 4 venues are as follows:
Class 4 gambling venues licenced after 17 October 2001 shall be allowed a
maximum of nine gaming machines.
Class 4 gambling venues licenced before 17 October 2001 shall be allowed a
maximum of 18 gaming machines.
METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION
No single venue will be allowed to exceed the maximum number of gaming machines.
When considering an application for consent, Council will have regard to the
characteristics of the venue and may impose a maximum number on the consent that is
less than the applicable maximum number above.
EXPLANATION/REASONS
Restricting the number of gaming machines that may operate in the district limits the
opportunities people have to gamble. Limiting gambling opportunities will help prevent
and minimise harm from gambling.
124 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
5
Restricting the types of venues which can be Class 4 venues will assist in the identification
of problem gamblers, as they will become recognisable to venue staff. Identifying that
somebody has a gambling problem is the first step in preventing harm caused by
problem gambling.
KEY ISSUE THREE
Council has a responsibility under the Gambling Act 2003 and the Racing Act 2003 with
regards to the provision of Class 4 gambling and TAB venues in the district.
OBJECTIVE
To ensure the Council and the community has influence over the provision of new
gambling venues within the district and additional opportunities for gambling at existing
venues.
POLICY
In considering all applications relating to Class 4 gambling venues Council may consider
any matter, but will consider the following:
(i) Characteristics of the district and parts of the district.
(ii) Locations of kindergartens, early childhood centres, schools, places of worship and other community facilities.
(iii) The number of gaming machines that should be permitted at any venue.
(iv) The cumulative effects of additional opportunities for gambling in the district.
(v) How close any venue shall be permitted to any other venue.
(vi) What the primary activity at any venue is.
In considering all applications relating to TAB venues Council may consider any matter,
but will consider the following:
125Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
6
(i) Characteristics of the district and parts of the district. (ii) Locations of kindergartens, early childhood centres, schools, places of worship
and other community facilities. (iii) The cumulative effects of additional opportunities for gambling in the district.
METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION
The decision on Council consents will be made by full Council following a hearing at
which the applicant and everybody who has made a written submission on the
application will have the opportunity to be heard.
When considering the cumulative effects of additional opportunities for gambling in the
district for Class 4 venues, Council will take into account both the number of gaming
machines currently operating, and the number of gaming machines currently able to
operate.
EXPLANATION/REASONS
Ensuring Council considers the listed matters when determining all applications for
consent will help ensure that Council has influence over the establishment of new Class 4
venues and over the provision of additional gaming machines at existing venues, when
the resulting number of machines will be greater than the number the venue is currently
able to operate.
This will also help ensure that Council exercises its influence consistently across all
applications for consent.
Requiring that consideration be given to public submissions, both written and as
presented at hearings, will help ensure that the views of the community are taken into
account when Council makes decisions on consents.
126 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
7
KEY ISSUE FOUR
The impacts of both the benefits and the harm resulting from gambling are felt by the
community.
OBJECTIVE
To facilitate community involvement in decisions about the provision of gambling.
POLICY
All applications for Council consent will be available for public submission.
Submitters will have the opportunity to speak to their submission at the hearing of the
consent application.
In making their decision Council will give consideration to all submissions received.
METHODS OF IMPLEMENTATION
All applications will be twice publicly notified in a newspaper circulating in the area to
which the application relates. Notifications will be placed at least seven days apart, but
no more than 14 days apart. Council staff will be responsible for placing the public
notifications.
The public notifications will advise people of the opportunity to make a written submission
on the application.
Copies of the application will be made available at Council offices, Buller libraries and on
Council’s website. Information will be included on the opportunity to make a written
submission.
127Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
8
EXPLANATIONS/REASONS
Community feelings on gambling range from full support to total opposition.
Supporters of gambling often note the following benefits:
The money distributed to community groups and organisations from the proceeds
of Class 4 gambling.
The entertainment value of responsible gambling.
Opponents of gambling often note the following harmful effects of gambling:
The amount of money spent and lost by gamblers.
Problem gambling and the impact this has on the life of the gambler, their family
and the community as a whole.
Giving all members of the community the opportunity to comment on applications for
consent to create additional gambling opportunities will help ensure that the full range of
opinions and issues are heard and taken into account when Council makes its decision
on an application.

133Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
THE WEST COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL Prepared for: Buller, Grey and Westland District Councils Prepared by: Mark Crowe – Regional Director Emergency Management and Natural Hazards Date: 31 August 2018 Subject: West Coast Civil Defence and Emergency Management Group Update
Purpose To update Council on events, work progress and projects pertaining to West Coast Emergency Management Group over the past quarter. Background It has been identified that the EM Group has not taken the opportunity to report to Councils on its sector on a regular basis. The CEG chair has requested a quarterly update to Councils of which this shall be the first. The CDEM Group office is happy to receive feedback on the preferred content and level of material for this report in the future. If required CDEM Group is also happy to talk to the report in Council meetings. Iwi Representation on CEG For some time we have been considering how to improve the connection of emergency management with Iwi / Maori, particularly for our region. A number of events have highlighted the vital need to be better connected with local iwi, for example the use of local marae during the Kaikoura earthquake response, and also Christchurch marae who assisted with housing displaced Kaikoura residents. In the last six months Group staff have attended Runanga meetings at both Makaawhio and Arahura. We have worked alongside agencies such as Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, Te Puni Kokiri and Community and Public Health to provide support for their emergency preparedness, and improve the connection with our group especially during response. We also, however, fully acknowledge that there is still a considerable work to do here. In January this year the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management published the ‘Ministerial Review: Better responses to natural disasters and other emergencies in New Zealand’ (18 January 2018). The recommendations included improving the connection with Iwi at all levels of emergency management. This involves “recognising the capability that iwi bring to emergency management” and increasing participation such as “appropriate iwi representative to be part of the group’s CEG. With this in mind at the last CEG meeting on 9th August the CEG considered and approved a recommendation to invite both Te Runaka o Makaawhio & Te Runanga of Ngati Waewae on West Coast Group CEG as full voting members.
134 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Regional Controllers Forum The first regional controller’s forum was held in Greymouth at the WCRC in August. This was re-initiated to provide for many needs including:
To meet our new MCDEM REMA, Allan Grigg For all Controllers to meet and get to know one another, To give Controllers the opportunity to provide feedback to the Group office Workshop any potential issues arising Identify, discuss and / or provide necessary training To encourage the “Regional team” Concept
CDEM Local Controller Appointment At the joint Committee meeting of 21 August Sean Judd was appointed as a local controller for Buller district. Training will be provided in the first instance of a course becoming available from the Ministry. Resilience fund application Jo Paterson, our Natural Hazards analyst has prepared and submitted to the MCDEM Resilience fund an application for funding to complete more detailed modelling of West Coast tsunami risk/modelling. With the funding decisions recently being released we are pleased to inform we have been partially successful in our funding application. From here we will need to reshape the project from its original project timeline however the overall intent and milestones of the work remain unchanged. With the Tsunami mapping work having been a shortcoming of the Group for some time, the completion of this project along with the associated education program and public signage will all represent a significant step forward in our preparedness activities. Strategic Planning for Recovery The amendment to the Civil Defence Emergency Management Amendment Act 2016 (the Act) requires CDEM Group plans to be amended to provide for strategic planning for recovery from hazards and risks in the CDEM Group area by 1 June 2018. The Group office has now completed the review of our current Group plan which included a workshop with MCDEM staff at Group office and the local team. The outcomes of this workshop lead to a proposed Group plan being drafted and sent to the Ministry for comment. This feedback was then (mostly) incorporated into the proposed new Group Plan. The Joint Committee meeting held on 21 August 2018 in Westport formally approved and adopted the amended Group plan.
135Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Group Welfare / Group Recovery Manager It is with great pleasure that I advise Claire Brown the current Westland Emergency Management Officer has accepted the above new role within the CDEM Group. The role was created as a result of demands on the Westland EMO duties and as a need to meet the commitments for Strategic Planning for Recovery. The Group office will now recruit for a replacement for the restructured Group EMO role with a focus on Westland district. The 4R’s newsletter The Group recently initiated the 4R’s newsletter. This initiative is designed to push out positive messaging to another sector of our communities. It will include updates on events, activities, public education and learning opportunities. It is designed to be a professional publication that can be circulated across councils and stakeholders as well as in the public space. It is circulated by Group office to all Council staff (across the 4 councils) all stakeholders, community groups, agencies and via a small number of print copies at some locations. The feedback has been very positive and Nelson Tasman Group along with Marlborough Group are going to use the WC Group format, content and frequency, with their localised content , to push messaging on the same issue dates as ourselves. Recommendation That this report be received.

3. DISCUSSION
Oneofthethingsthatstillneedssomework,inmyview,isthenatureofthe formal reporting from the Chief Executive to the Council. ThismostdefinitelyneedstobethesubjectofaconversationwiththenewincomingChief Executive. In particular, there needs to be some clarity among all parties as to the purpose of the monthly Chief Executive report to Council and, therefore, what it should contain. For now, I will continue on thethemeIbeganwithmyreportlastmonth,namelytoreportagainstmykeypriorities as the interim Chief Executive.
By way of a recap, at the beginning of July, I provided an email toCouncillors outlining my key priorities during my time at Buller District Council.Thoseprioritiesare:
1. Leading the Council organisation2. RecruitingthenewpermanentChiefExecutive3. Preparing the BDC organisation for the new incoming Chief
Executive
Asalways,Iamhappytoexpandonany other matters at the meeting.
137Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Probably themost notable item, as you are all well aware, has been tofocus on the recruitment of our newChief Executive.On today’s PublicExcluded agenda is an item relating to the selection of the new ChiefExecutive and the associated decision-making needed to give effect to that selection.
ThisisacrucialdecisionforBuller.
Accordingly,Ishouldliketotakethisopportunityinwhatmaywellprovetobe my very last report to Council, that I have been totallyblownawaybythethoroughandexactingwayinwhichyouhaveconductedtherecruitingexercise.Sure,andImaywellbeverybiasedinasmuchasIhavebeenaparty to the process all along, we have been extra diligent – but that’sexactlywhatwasneeded from us under the circumstances.
It isworth reflecting that your final selection is going tobebasedonanarrayofdifferentassessmentsencompassing:
1. Structured interviews of all candidates conductedduring the long-list process
2. On-line research into the backgrounds of each candidate3. PsychometricassessmentsusingHoganprofilingtools4. Extensive reference checking of each short-listed candidate5. ShortlistedcandidatesinterviewingtheinterimChiefExecutive6. Finalinterviews
And, of course, you have also had the advantage of the perspective of Louise and I as two experienced senior executives ourselves in our“poacher turned game-keeper”rolesduringtherecruitmentprocess.
I suspect you’d be hard-pushed to find a more searching selection process; especially when you also consider that even our advertisingcampaign was based around a comprehensively canvassed candidatebriefdesignedtoclearlylayoutexactlywhatwewerelookingforandwhy.
Alongsidethat,andnotwantingtore-litigate the approach at all, you have signed-offonacompletesetofKPIsforthenewChiefExecutivethatarefocused around driving success: for you as the elected Council; for theorganisationas thesolemeansofdelivering theCouncilpriories; for thenewChief Executive by providing them a clear focus for their efforts and in layingoutthespiritandintentofwhatisintended;and,notatallleast,fortheBuller community and ratepayers. Putting thoseKPIs into the publicarena shows everyone the commitments that are being made to make Council successful.
138 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Next up for Council, through your newChief Executive, is to deliver onthoseKPIs.Thecornerstoneofthatistherelationshipthatyoubuildwiththat person – withafocusonensuringmutualsuccess.Neitheryouastheelected Council, nor the Chief Executive as your sole employee, can afford theotherpartynot tobesuccessful.Thatneeds tobeadeliberatefocusforyoubothoverthecomingmonths(andyears).
In getting ready for a newChief Executive, a lot of preparatory work isalreadyinhandtoensurethedeliveryof theKPIs.Theorganisationhas,andis, inthethroesofhavingagoodlookathowitgoesaboutdoingitswork. I am probably the least competent commentator (because ofmyobviousbias)totalkaboutwheremattersareupto,butthingsseemtometo be moving along at pace.
AllthatismissingnowistheadditionofthenewChiefExecutive;itistheirstyleandpersonality that isnow theessential (missing) ingredientwithin the Council organisation; it is that ‘leadership’ style and the individual’spersonalitythatwillwashacrosseveryaspectofCouncil.
So today is the daywhen you, as the electedCouncil,makea decisionthat will be the major influence over Council operations, delivery, perceptionsandpublic service in thedistrict for thenext few years. Nopressure !
And, hence, there needs to be no apology whatsoever for thethoroughnessoftheprocessneededtopickthe‘right’person.Norshouldyou feelanyotherpressurethanaboutcomingtothe‘right’decision;yes,it isan importantone; yes, therearea lotof variables to consider; and,yes,thereisnosuchthingasaperfectChiefExecutive.Theonlycriticalcomponentweneed to focuson in the discussions and decision needed beforetheendofthisCouncilmeetingisthatwefocusongettingthe‘right’answer.

Opening address - John Forbes • Access and the outdoors becoming increasingly under pressure from the burgeoning
tourism industry. • Tourism pressure becoming increasingly harder to deal with. No strategy, it’s also hard
for stakeholders and infrastructure. • “In an endeavor to reduce pressure, a lot of the discussion is around toilets and
carparking.” • High country- an insert point into South Island but facing enormous pressure from
escalating visitor numbers. • Must also consider pressure from domestic visitors (as well as international). Think of
growing numbers of locals (baby boomers in particular) moving around the Islands in campervans.
• Working with Auckland council - huge benefits from securing access for green pathways and recreational areas before houses go in.
• Hopefully this group can help focus on what we can be achieved in the SI • PGF funding required for the South Island project- government seems to be very open
to this. But there needs to be better structure to the funding process. • Key points
o How can we best work together as a ‘governance’ group or this project, keen to get the groups ideas
o Think about any major issues/points still to consider
Presentation: Te Waipounamu me Rakiura Tracks and trails masterplan and toolkit. Jo & Mick Slide 1 and 2 (Jo)
• Missed opportunity (perception)- that SI tracks & trails are just the conservation estate
• We believe it’s the whole island- and more than what is generally understood and talked about
• Many people consider Te Araroa trail is the only one in the SI
144 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
Slide 3 & 4 - Project Overview (Jo)
• The project aims to show better connections across the whole landscape • Ensure land-use change and growth is a coherent network for the future
Slide 5 - Why are we doing this? (Jo)
• Address the issues and the opportunities e.g. Tourism pressure • Support other initiatives e.g. ‘Healthy nature/Healthy people’ programme
Slide 6 – Outputs (Jo)
Slide 7 - Purpose / shared kaupapa
• John- we see significant community engagement. Some of this isn’t just about funding, it just about coordination of these groups (not necessarily cost for rate payers) …it’s about channeling the energy already underway.
• Jo- there’s lots of groups who are very much underway with tracks and trails work, but there needs to be a strategic framework to answer the “why”, understand the priorities and connect up with a vision for the whole Island.
Slide 8 - Resources (Jo)
• NZWAC team will be CHCH based • Project engagement and WAC-based specialists will be relationship based. • Rick Cullinane – this work will not put a handbrake on any existing projects. It’s
about supporting and working what’s underway.
Slide 9 - Design Group (Mick)
• Who we are and what we’ve been doing (DesignLab)
Slide 10 - Project plan overview (Mick)
“We really value getting a space for this to work out of - to include school groups and young people into ideas. “
“But also, what are some of the social and environmental opportunities. For example, Fiordland”
“Discovery workshops” will be undertaken throughout the first stage of the project with local groups and in communities. Find out what’s the current thinking & what’s happening in this area now, what are peoples dreams and aspirations?
“Site visit’s will be undertaken letting the environment speak to us”
“How do we produce outputs that align with district thinking. “
Slide 11- The Taranaki tracks & trails narrative (Mick)
145Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
“Hinges around an invitation for people to journey around the mountain”
“Keen on supporting existing infrastructure”
“It’s very important we see our role (Design Lab) is to bring a process “
“Just got underway with a similar smaller scale project in Matakana. Scale of topography up there and housing development going on means it’s essential to address greenways access and opportunities for future connectivity to green spaces”
Questions/feedback on presentation • Mark Inglis - What is MBIE’s role? Not sitting around the table now, thinks that would be
beneficial? - Jo – so far, an advisory role in terms of what the landscape looks like and the
need for this work to be done to support the many ideas for infrastructure projects. Need to pick up them up as a stakeholder once the project funding is approved.
• John- one of the outcomes of the project is that is delivers MBIE a strategic framework that can assist and support funding applications. Particularly how best to prioritise resources for SI opportunities.
• Jo- has been working with the 3 MBIE SI managers. In their words they are inundated with applications. Would be great to have a framework to understand purpose and vision.
• Mark Wheeler- We’ve all been diving into where to trails all over our regions, but without a strategy, we need this.
• Andrew- how well we engage with local communities will be a mark of success. You’ve got this consultation and engagement phase, how will that be rolled out?
- Important to consider cultural representation - Important to consider competition across land use (ecological versus recreation
etc) - DOC land and how that’s being developed. thoughts around that and
consideration really needed. • Mick- concepts in Taranaki actually driven by locals. We will use that same approach
here. Focus on alignment not gatekeeping • Jim-there are mayoral forums throughout the country which will help give local advice.
- Jo- our idea around resourcing the project is to have a real focus on engagement and partnership with others.
• James: “seems to me to be a reaction to the tourist influx”. but let’s look at reducing visitor numbers and gatekeeping in certain vulnerable areas, bringing in some specialists from Tourism NZ might help “.
• Mark - Tourism participants could really advise us. Kiwirail might also be a really great group to get involved.
146 Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
- Jo - NZWAC has established a contact at Kiwirail who is managing application for trails along rail corridor.
• Mark - In tourism sector quite a lot of activity revolves around the Air NZ tourism strategy- needs to be more targeted around tourism products and services. Good they are no longer advertising NZ Great Walks for example during peak season. The other issue here is appealing to people who will spontaneously stop for an unplanned walk or activity, through to those wanting a 5-star experience. This work should provide a way to connect these different needs up.
• Mick- conceptually we’ll look at aligning layers. That’s what we did in Taranaki. We engaged with local champions and projects underway and considered how these were supported by the landscape.
• James - our assets will be consumed in the Mackenzie, so we need to consider the spectrum of engagement and keep the special/vulnerable places special. Suggested a ‘drafting day’ with everybody present might be a good idea at the start of the discovery phase, to take stock take of what’s underway, what’s a priority. What can be enhanced and managed.
• Tinaka- sounds like we are looking towards doing a longer-term strategy. Need to be clear if we are considering opportunities through a strategic lens or infrastructure lens? Managing the same as we always have won’t work. Would like to end up with a strategy/vision that is practical and directive.
• Mick- local ‘champions’ really help with engaging the community, iwi and local groups and we think it’s important to identify those early on and work with them.
• John – The project team propose to work in CHCH from a workshop type set-up, how easy will it to be to pick it up from time to time and take it out to local communities?
- Mick – want the project work to be very visual, easy to see and understand what’s happening at any stage with an open invitation to anyone interested. Will use a road show type approach to pick up the work and take on the road.
Discussion: Project Governance – John & Jo • Andrew- important to get a project plan created that has all the milestones and
gateways where meetings and specific governance is needed. Also, a key input from this group is to provide the ‘mana’ locally to get communities and key people involved, open doors.
• Gary - mayoral forums are a great way to get the attention and input of the right people in the sponsor group.
o Jo – will ensure these are all included in the plan and Council hosts communicated with early to get onto meeting agenda with a project progress report/discussion slot.
• Jim- would be good to have a communication stakeholder section in the project plan (regular relationships, who are we engaging with, why etc) Also important to get a sense of key drivers/ motivations/strategic guidelines for stakeholders.
147Agenda: Buller District Council: Meeting - 26 September 2018
- Jo the p plan will be created at the start of the project). • Gary - What can we contribute in terms of getting the information together? (also, has
been difficult to contribute so please use something like Skype in the future). • Mark - the power of the governance group is the power to demonstrate productive
collaboration. – this is what will increase the strength of this. • Tinaka - DOCs role is to be collaborative, but we should be around the governance table.
That’s because we see a lot of the impact from this project will be in areas we manage and the infrastructure that comes under our management. Keen to understand how we will involve our treaty partner’s.
o Jo – we have started engaging with assistance from Jason – TPK and are very aware iwi must be involved with the work from the start, we have also invited Ngai Tahu CEO to join the governance group.
Next meeting Jo to circulate dates once PGF approval is obtained.
Meeting closed at 12:30pm for lunch.
