www.hurunui.govt.nz Public Toilets Toilets Provided on Tourist Routes: • 100% District Rate or use of surpluses from the Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve. Ward or Community Rating Area Toilets: • Included in Township Maintenance is 100% local amenity rate on the local ward or community rating area. • If the Council decides to apply some of the surplus from the Hanmer Springs Thermal Reserve, the amount of the contribution is subtracted from the District Rate. • If any of the Capital Expenditure caters for future growth, then that portion of the expenditure that relates to growth may be funded from future lots via Development Contributions and loans. Swimming Pools Operational Costs: • 100% Local Amenity Rate. Capital Costs: • This depends on who will use the pool. If mainly the local ward, then loan funded within the relevant ward or rating area. If use is also expected to be district wide, a portion may be decided to be funded via the District Rate. Community fundraising may also be expected. Township Maintenance Operational and Capital Costs: • 100% local amenity rate. Council Owned Assets Buildings • Commercial premises • 34 pensioner housing units • 3 residential houses • 5 water and sewerage depots • 4 Council service centres / libraries • 5 closed landfills • 5 transfer stations • 4 medical centres • 2 doctors houses • 14 halls Public Toilets • 14 public toilet blocks • 16 district public toilets Swimming Pools • 2 public swimming pools (excluding Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa) Township Maintenance • Not applicable Maintenance and Operating Implications Buildings A property review is undertaken every several years to assess the state of the property portfolio and to enable a suitable maintenance programme to be put in place. Generally, all properties are maintained to a level that keeps them functional. Maintenance and upkeep is undertaken by contractors. Public Toilets The maintenance of these facilities, including cleaning and replenishing of supplies is contracted out. Swimming Pools Both swimming pools are aged pools and maintained to a basic level to keep them operational and safe. Both pools, particularly the Amberley swimming pool, have regular maintenance and repair costs to keep them functional. Most work on the Amberley pool is done by staff, but contractors are used for specialist jobs (such as plumbing). Township Maintenance We intend to retain ownership of the properties and facilities as outlined in this section. The local Ward Committees and Boards have the delegated responsibility to authorise improvements in their particular Ward through the use of amenity rating. For physical works, we employ some gardeners and cleaners (mostly part time), however most work in this activity area is done by contractors. Many of the District’s halls are managed by the local Reserve Committee or Hall Committee. 104
Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 Assumptions and Risks Buildings It is assumed that we will continue to own the buildings we currently have, and we are not planning on increasing our stock. There is some risk in this, such as: • We only provide pensioner housing in Amberley, Cheviot, Hanmer Springs and Waikari. This may inadvertently have social and cultural impacts upon the age demographics in local communities as the elderly population becomes concentrated in certain areas only. This may result in higher demands on some local services and facilities. Demand for pensioner housing in some parts of the District at times is greater than our supply. This could result in some older people leaving the District when we are in fact keen for residents of all ages to be able to live in the community of their choice. Township Maintenance It is assumed that the current facilities as described in this section will continue to be needed by the local communities. It is also assumed that the communities expect us to maintain the facilities and amenities at the lowest cost possible. As the population in the District changes, there are possible issues for rate payers when having to fund facilities to match residents’ and visitors’ expectations. Given the rural nature of the district, and consequential small population, the costs can pose challenges. • The Hurunui District has an aging population that is expected to increase for the next several years. This is expected to place additional demand for low cost housing options for aging and retired people, as well as retirement homes and villages. We believe that this demand is best met by the private sector. We have assumed that the community will continue to support the need for us to build medical centres and keep them relevant to the needs of modern medicine to attract medical professionals to our District. Public Toilets We intend to continue to own, control and manage public toilets throughout the district and replace them or build more as required and can be properly justified. Discussion does take place from time to time on the funding model for public toilets, and whether or not the public should directly pay to use them. Free use has been assumed for this long term plan. Swimming Pools Aside from routine maintenance and repairs, there is no budget put aside to replace or significantly upgrade the two existing swimming pools. There is a risk that the cost of doing so will be greater than the community is prepared to pay. In the event that the pools do fail and are not replaced, the local community could be disadvantaged by not having this service at its disposal. It is assumed that there is significant public support to either replace or upgrade any pools before committing to the cost involved. 105
