Mr Martin/Mrs Trumper CARRIED

3. PUBLIC FORUM Neil Heather provided an update Federated Farmers position on the Section 274 for PC10. He said that Rotorua Lakes Council had joined with CNI Iwi Land Management Ltd to lodge an appeal. However there was a concern that there was no support was for the farming community. Mr Heather asked if an explanation could be sought regarding RLC’s position and be provided at a future Board meeting. Gaylene Brough discussed the Rerewhakaaitu Residents and Ratepayer Association position on the waste and expressed concern the matter had not changed since the working party group discussion. The residents had been notified of a survey, which stated costs over and above what others receiving a service were paying and was concerned about making a decision based on inconsistent information. The Ratepayers meeting considered discussing with other providers if this matter was

not clarified within 24 hours, because that was when the Waste discussion was being held in Rerewhakaaitu. Mrs Trumper explained the survey was not as expected nor was the intended costs as expressed meant to be shown as a cost for the waste service. The costs were purely the cost to Council, however, Mrs Trumper conveyed her disappointment it was even mentioned on the survey as she had requested that the final draft to be approved by Stavros Michael Infrastructure GM before going to the residents. There was robust discussion over the way forward, but the Chair would seek a remedy within the time frame suggested by Mrs Brough. Mrs Trumper ruled that an urgent item would be discussed by the Board members, in confidential, at the conclusion of the public meeting. 4. CONFIRMATION OF MINUTES 4.1 “That the minutes of the Rotorua Rural Community Board meeting held 17 October 2017 are confirmed as a true and correct record.”

Mr Heard/Mr Martin CARRIED

5. VERBAL UPDATES 5.1 Safe Road Alliance Mr Justin Rae spoke to a power point presentation (Attachment 1) The following points were made:

Okere Falls is a busy area due to recreational activities – speeds to be lowered.

Speed limit at Waiotapu to reduce to 80km. 75% of accidents are from overtaking and misjudging the length of the road and from

crossing the centre line.

Could consideration be given to consistency with merging lanes following passing lanes ie 100m or 200m or 300m?

Could pull over lanes be introduced to enable trucks to be passed safely? Mrs Trumper thanked the Safe Road Alliance team and looked forward to speed reduction through the Waiotapu corridor.

5.2 Waikato Regional Council Long-term Plan Cr Kathy White provided an update:

11 December 2017

Top three priorities gathered form community feedback were fresh water, land use choices and regional development.

Reviews undertaken will be - regional plan and coastal plan; levels of service; infrastructure and assets.

Flooding prevention initiatives to be undertaken. Healthy Rivers Committee to look at the selection of the Commissioners.

Develop reginal framework funding – concern around how Taupo and Rotorua will benefit. Biosecurity and biodiversity issues e.g. funding

Predator free by 2050 – mostly possums and wallabies. There is a regional economic development fund set aside for matters where there was a

cross region and community benefits. Currently Hamilton City Council are seeking funding ideas for a new theatre and are considering the prospect of WRC regional fund as an option.

Waikato Regional Service Fund – surf lifesaving; rescue helicopter likely to have a shortfall.

Mr Heard expressed an interest in this fund for forestry and would like to seek clarification. Discussion took place regarding flooding events in Reporoa and how this required joint management. Flood plain management had been suggested for Hauraki Plains and Mrs Trumper said there was a need for better management of the issues faced by lower lying farms in Reporoa. The Board agreed for Mr Sutton to draft a letter for Mrs Trumper to send to the CE of WRC inviting him or a representative to present to the Board an update of water levels on the Waikato River affecting the low lying areas of Reporoa and the Whirinaki Valley arm sediment issues. Mrs Trumper thanked Cr White for attending and informing the Board of events pertaining to the the rural district. Action Point: Cr White to be invited back 6 or 8 monthly to update the Rural Board on WRC matters. 5.3 Update from the Chair The upcoming Waste meetings were advised to Board members The Board has its own Facebook page for engagement with communities and was proving very successful - efficient way of letting communities know of upcoming events. There was conflict over confidential sections of respective Board members on Committee meetings and the Chair wanted to seek clarification before going further.

Chairperson and Members RURAL COMMUNITY BOARD INSTALLING CCTV SYSTEM COVERAGE FOR SELECTED SITES IN THE RURAL AREA Report prepared by: Peter Dine/Infrastructure Capital Programme Manager Report approved by: Stavros Michael/GM Infrastructure

1. PURPOSE

To advise the Board of the feasibility and cost of installing CCTV system coverage for selected sites in the Rural Area utilising the devolved funding for the Board

2. RECOMMENDATION

That the report INSTALLING CCTV SYSTEM COVERAGE FOR SELECTED SITES IN THE RURAL AREA be received.

3. BACKGROUND

The Board requested that staff explore the feasibility of installing a CCTV network in the rural area. This report covers the cost and practicality of such a system and the use of CCTV networks. The stated purpose of such CCTV coverage is to consider additional security measures for the rural community. CCTV Use Use of CCTV network is covered by legislation under the Privacy Act. Council as a public body must comply with this and Council’s policy for utilisation of CCTV networks is attached (Appendix 1). The policy does place limitations on what the system can be used for, who uses it, transfer of information etc. Council’s CCTV network operates in accordance with the policy and hence this proposal needs to be operated as part of Council’s system that will ensure compliance. The option of a stand-alone network is not available. Broadband Network This is not available currently everywhere. A Broadband map is available on-line and will be shown at the meeting, it can be accessed at www.broadbandmap.nz. The networks that support CCTV functionality are:

Fibre VDSL

Further explanation can be provided at the meeting and the 4G Spark network is also a possibility (not on Broadband map). Power While power is available everywhere, a low voltage connection is necessary and this is often the determining cost of installing a camera. This can be significant but can also only be determined on a site by site basis. It is not recommended that reliance on solar power is an option as this has proved unreliable. Cameras To integrate with Council’s network a number of different camera types are available:

PTZ (Pan, tilt and zoom) cameras with suitable optics for night cost about $2000 per installation.

Fixed cameras are about $500 each Installation costs vary considerably but assuming low voltage power is available at the

site it is about $1000. Once reticulation is involved cost rapidly climbs.

Operational costs are about $160 per month.

4. CONCLUSION

Selection of camera type is dependent on purpose. PTZ cameras are remotely controlled and are suited more to where monitoring is required. If monitoring is not required then fixed cameras are suitable.

RURAL WASTE COLLECTION EXTENSION OF SERVICES December 5 2017 Report prepared by: Shirley Trumper, Chair Rural Community Board 1: Purpose The purpose of this report is to provide a recommendation for an extended waste service to Council for adoption, based on findings supported by the Rural Community Board. 2: Executive Summary The responsibility for waste management services to extended rural communities rests with Rotorua Lakes Councillors. The Annual Plan (page 11) consultation process gave the Rural Board the authority to engage with each community on solutions beneficial to each community rather than the blanket process which initially was proposed. Waste minimisation in and around the Rotorua District had been under review since June 2015 with a Solid Waste Bylaw being implemented in 2016. Within the bylaw were strategies to combine the whole of the region into one provision of service, however, there was approximately 10% of Rotorua not under a current scheme. A discussion commenced with the community under the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan (WMMP) for an extended waste service to areas not receiving any form of service. This resulted in a considerable number of engagements where the results of that discussion and the last process has now cumulated in this proposal. 3: Recommendation 1 1: That the report “Rural Waste final consultation and discussion document” be received. 2: That the Rural Community Board resolves to consider and determine the outcome from the consultation process carried out from 2016 until November 2017. 3: That the Rural Community Board resolves to present the preferred option to Council. 4: Background The waste proposal has had extensive investigation and engagement process of nearly 2 years, into providing a waste service over the entire Rotorua catchment area. The initial engagement was carried out by Council officers, commenced before the concept of the Board to the extended area not currently receiving a waste service. Going into the Annual Plan the Board, newly elected, commenced working with the Officers in engaging with the respective communities. Meetings, concept discussions, surveys and responses

Doc No. RDC-786824 18 Rotorua Rural Community Board meeting

11 December 2017

were collated with over 1000 responses. Since those results another 400 plus responses provided significant feedback from communities and their needs which gives the Board a sound base on which to make a recommendation. The extended communities supported a proposed 100% targeted rate but rejected a service which entailed having to take the waste to a collection point but cost the same as though receiving a gateway collection. Council Officers and Board noted the responses and submitted to Councillors at the Annual Plan that the Board be given an opportunity to discuss with the waste providers and Officers a better method of collection and ensure an equitable solution could be found. Based on the feedback, the Board's submission in May 2017 ( Strategy, Policy and Finance Committee 2017 -2018 Annual Plan Hearings) rejected the Annual Plan consultation proposal and requested that the Board be able to engage with the respective communities to obtain options to meet the waste objective set out in the Rotorua Lakes Council Bylaw on waste minimisation. In the adopted Annual Plan, Council decided to continue working with the residents to find an agreeable solution. (Waste Management Services, Additional waste management services for Rural Communit ies, page 11 of the Annual Plan) The Rural Board then met with Smart environmental management and the Infrastructure GM with the objective to go out and discuss with respective working groups to formulate a waste proposal suitable for their community. The working groups were informative and wholly supportive of the format. From the working parties came the proposed weekly, roadside service as the preferred option but costs must be equitably distributed throughout the district and that there be no addit ional differentials placed on rural areas. There was a categorical rejection of costs at the listed $350 - $450 per household. Robust discussion was around the "per household" rate and whether the existing "free service will continue." To provide continuity Council staff agreed to maintain status quo, free drop off at Rerewhakaaitu Hall and Strathmore Road, with a red bag option and the ability for those in Ngakuru and surrounding areas using the landfill to drop off at no additional cost while discussions were ongoing. This solution is not intended to be maintained after 30 June 2018. In essence those residents, receiving a service and paying for it, had been subsidising the "free" pick up and were subsequently advised this was not an equitable use of rates. Urban is on a per household basis therefore rural residents would also be expected to pay a per household rate but the current "free" drop off points in Reporoa and Rerewhakaaitu will cease from July 1 2018. Landowners and landlords will be responsible to ensure their staff and tenants are familiar with the new proposed waste collection service. Angst within the respective communities was when the survey indicated costs, whether there was an over whelming response to yes we want a service, to a categorical no. This did not provide

11 December 2017

balance to those responding to the survey without seeking clarification and it justified the dissident voice to say No. I do not believe this cost should not have been written but left to the detail on the website. The Board, with the support of Council officers, will recommend the cost be consistent across the District as noted in the Annual Plan. (Note: page 11 of the Annual Plan, is proposed that "everyone in the district where the service can be provided pay the targeted rate and everyone who receives a service pays the same amount") Using the existing data I believe the Board can make a fully informed recommendation to Council for adoption. 5: Discussions and Options Recommendation 2 Option 1 (preferred) 1: That based on the cumulative findings, using meetings, results of surveys, feedback from online engagement and newsletters, the following is approved by the Rural Board for presentation to Council for adoption to commence a roadside waste service to the following areas: 1.1 Rerewhakaaitu - This community based on using the above method of engagement has a 95% support and brings the balance of the community into line with the village currently receiving a service. 1.2 Reporoa - This community based on using the above method of engagement has a 70% plus support and brings the balance of the community into line with the village and outlying areas of Broadlands and Golden Springs currently receiving a service. 1.3 Waikite Valley - The community based on using the above method of engagement has an over 50% support and would be an introduction of a Household waste collection and recycle service. 1.4 Atiamuri - There is a 45% support for a service based on survey and online engagement. This area did not want a separate meeting and was difficult to engage initially although they have shown a willingness to engage through online forums. Based on this result from Atiamuri it would my recommendation this is discussed with the Waste team to gauge potential introduction of service where practicable. Could potentially start with the main road and Ohakuri Road. The balance being windy metal roads which the contractor is reluctant to use. UPDATE---- LATEST FIGURES DROP 45% SUPPORT DOWN TO UNDER 40% FOR ATIAMURI 1.5 Ngakuru - This community, regardless of the number of consultations, has an active and vocal group against any introduction of a waste collection service, while there is the landfill and recycle centre in town. The support for an introduced service is less than 30%

Doc No. RDC-786824 20 Rotorua Rural Community Board meeting

11 December 2017

It would be my recommendation to not commence with a waste collection service for the Ngakuru area. Should circumstances change then I recommend that the staff and Board engage on a more personalised basis to ensure concerns are addressed. 1.6 Horohoro - This community has not had a separate meeting but have had a small number of attendees at the Ngakuru meetings. The support for a service in this area is less than 30% and based on that I would recommend that a service is not commenced. Should circumstances change then I recommend that the staff and Board engage on a more personalised basis to ensure concerns are addressed. Option 2 (not preferred) That based on the cumulative findings and to meet the objectives of the Rotorua Lakes Council waste minimisation plan that a service is commenced for the extended rural areas not currently serviced by a waste and recycling service. That based on findings option 2 is not considered suitable based on consistent discussions. (i)"The recommendation is Ngakuru and Horohoro do not receive a waste and recycling service at this time." (ii)The advice to Council would be to revisit this decision in three years or earlier should circumstances change where the landfill become unavailable, or the recycle centre in town becomes less viable or a change in policy by Waikato Regional Council." The results of the survey from November 2017 and the conversations during the recent round of meetings: Rerewhakaaitu 95% in favour Reporoa 70% in favour Waikite Valley 45% in favour Atiamuri 45% in favour Ngakuru 28% in favour Horohoro 29% in favour 6. Community Engagement and Publicity 6.1 This policy recommendation has been the subject of numerous consultative forums, meetings, surveys, working parties, local newsletters, social media and direct contact. 7. Considerations 7.1 Financial considerations While the Board does not have the direct ability in setting costs we should ensure Council are aware of the statement within the Annual Plan document and request Council adopt an equitable rate for services.

8. Risks 8.1 The risk of the process is Council could potentially reject a separated service and make a final recommendation to enforce the Waste Management Minimisation plan bylaw to all areas not currently receiving a service. It is in the rural communities’ interests the Board outline the sound reasoning for choosing the option recommended. 9. Authority 9.1 The Board has delegated authority to present recommendations to Council on behalf of the rural community “provided for in the Rural Community Board delegations to input to strategies, policies, and plans that impact on the Board's area. 9.2 The Board were given delegation from the Annual plan adoption (page 11) to consult further and bring back to Council's 2018 - 2028 Long Term Plan process.

Chair report and update 1 Communication to any person/ organisation on matters relating to the Rural Board needs to be signed off by an elected Board member or Chair where matters are of significance. 2 Spatial Planning hearings The SP&F committee sat through 2 sessions of submissions (over 2 days) to listen to residents views on the spatial plan. Okareka Only 1 speaker wanted the community to grow with the balance saying no. Confusion over consultation however this was clarified by the Councillor representing that the community were notified and consulted. Rotoiti / Rotoma Considerable Iwi input and presentations all having aspirations to grow and earn a sustainable income from land. Talked of pathways for resident safety and moving the highway to land behind the villages. Iwi keen to further discuss aspirations but asked that Iwi are included in any planning discussions from the outset Bay of Plenty RC Interesting position taken on growth statistics of Rotorua. Council do not agree with growth projection and believe more research needs to be completed. Want to work collaboratively? yet submission states otherwise.
