Significance Policy Introduction The purpose of this policy is to outline the general approach of the Hurunui District Council in determining the significance of proposals and decisions in relation to issues, assets or other matters. The policy includes determinants (any thresholds, criteria or procedures) used to assist in assessing the extent to which issues, proposals, decisions or other matters are significant. It also includes procedural guidelines designed to ensure that a proper process is followed and that all compliance requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 in relation to decision making will be met by Council. This policy is made up of the following parts: Legislative Framework • Legislative requirements • Definitions Application of the Policy on Significance • Determining significance • Criteria for determining significance • Significant issues, proposals, decisions and other matters • Consultation Strategic Assets • Introduction • Schedule of Strategic Assets Appendices • Relevant Extracts from the Local Government Act 2002 • Significance Consideration for Inclusion in Council Agendas Legislative Framework Every local authority is required to have a policy on significance pursuant to section 90 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA). Adoption and the amendment of this policy must use the special consultative procedure. A summary of the policy must be included in the Long Term Plan (the Hurunui Community Long Term Plan). Definitions Section 5 of the LGA defines significance, significant and strategic asset as follows: Hurunui Community Long Term Plan 2012 - 2022 Significance, in relation to any issue, proposal, decision, or other matter that concerns or is before a local authority, means the degree of importance of the issue, proposal, decision, or matter, as assessed by the local authority, in terms of its likely impact on, and likely consequences for: (a) the current and future social, economic, environmental or cultural wellbeing of the District or region; (b) any persons who are likely to be particularly affected by, or interested in the issue, proposal, decision or matter; (c) the capacity of the local authority to perform its role, and the financial and other costs of doing so. Significant, in relation to any issue, proposal, decision, or any other matter means that the issue, proposal, decision, or other matter has a high degree of significance. Strategic Asset, in relation to the assets held by a local authority means an asset or group of assets that the local authority needs to retain if the local authority is to maintain the local authority’s capacity to achieve or promote any outcome that the local authority determines to be important to the current and future wellbeing of the community and includes: (a) any asset or group of assets listed in accordance with section 90(2) by the local authority; and (b) any land or building owned by the local authority and required to maintain the local authority’s capacity to provide affordable housing as part of its social policy; and (c) any equity securities held by the local authority in: (i) a port company within the meaning of the Port Companies Act 1988 (ii) an airport company within the meaning of the Airport Authorities Act 1966. Application of the Policy on Significance Determining Significance Each issue, proposal, decision or other matter is considered by Council on a case by case basis to determine: • whether it is significant, and, if so, • the degree of significance. The higher the impact or consequences, costs or implications, the higher the degree of significance. 251
