WAIKATO BUSINESS NEWS July/August 2019 3 Let the campaigning begin Hill Laboratories founder honoured From page 1 are there are other benefits in putting that development ahead that would make sense therefore for the ratepayer to contribute towards it?” Council runs a calculation, based on who benefits when. Briggs uses the example of a bridge. “Let's say we put a bridge into a new growth cell and what we've got to identify, is that bridge required because of the growth cell or does it provide some value to the existing residents to give them other ways of alleviating congestion? So let's say its 50:50 - 50 percent for growth, 50 percent for congestion. “Fifty percent for the growth goes to the developers through development contributions; the 50 percent for congestion goes to the existing ratepayers at that point in time.” He makes the point that Hamilton is providing city-standard services, which comes at a cost. That saw, for instance Visy setting up at Titanium Park by the airport rather than in Hamilton. “Titanium Park is on a state highway so there are no significant development contributions for roads because NZTA has paid for that; the water system isn't as complex and the wastewater system isn't piped, it isn't a reticulated system so they run septic tanks and so the cost to them was to introduce water tanks and septic tanks.” The upcoming election sees August 16 as the cutoff for can- didates to enter the race and October 12 as the final date for voting. For those thinking of standing, Briggs says the opportunity is to represent their communities and make a difference. “There's probably an opportunity for businesses to get on board and bring some real life experience to the table around what the impacts of council's decisions are. “If they're smart, ambitious and wish to make Hamilton the greatest city in New Zealand, then go for it.” The pre-election report is available here: https://www. yourcityelections.co.nz/assets/ Shape-Your-City-Hamilton- City-Council-Pre-election-Report.pdf Tackling the construction sector Richard Briggs has been appointed to the National Construction Sector Accord steering group as New Zealand looks for ways to build resilience in the construction sector after some high-profile company failures. The steering group is made up of 24 industry and government leaders with the aim of developing a transformation plan by December. Briggs is the sole council voice at the table after being appointed by Local Government NZ. The intention is for local government to get the value out of a robust construction sector, but also for Briggs to feed back into the local government sector about things that it needs to change. “For example, you could argue that strong local government procurement processes have done a great job of pushing risk away as well as keeping margins low which is probably part of the reason why some of these construction firms have found it hard to continue to operate,” he says. “From a council point of view, we want a vibrant, successful construction sector that gives us the opportunity to have choice. It’s one of the challenges we have at the moment - sometimes we go out for tender and only one tender comes back.” The group’s comprehensive approach will incorporate innovative ways of procuring, looking at different ways of contracting, certification of products, health and safety, and risk, with Briggs on the building regulations workstream. “It’s definitely exciting and I’m really pleased to be on it.” Have your say Or, if you are a candidate, email a 150 word statement to richard@wbn.co.nz for We want to play our part in the local body elections, so we are inviting you to have your say.
