Council commits to<br />

funding road works<br />

Kaikoura’s Long Term Plan is on trackto<br />

be signed off at the end of the month.<br />

Councillorsmet last weektoconsider<br />

273 matters raised in submissions from<br />

71 people, whichwere received during<br />

consultation on the <strong>2021</strong>/31Long Term<br />

Plan (LTP), with 21 people speaking on<br />

theirsubmissions.<br />

The council was due to meet again<br />

yesterday to finalise the draft LTP, which<br />

will be sent to Audit New Zealand before<br />

beingadopted on <strong>July</strong> 28.<br />

Five keyproposals were consulted on<br />

as partofthe LTP,including an<br />

increasedinvestmentinroadsand<br />

footpaths, areview of the outdated<br />

District Plan, afortnightlyurban rubbish<br />

collection and tourism/business support<br />

for Destination Kaikoura.<br />

The majority of the submissions<br />

agreed with the proposals, ranging from<br />

64 percent support for tourism/business<br />

support through to 73% supportfor<br />

urbanrubbishcollection.<br />

‘‘It’s great to see that allofthe<br />

proposed options werewell supported. It<br />

showsweare on tracktodeliverchanges<br />

and improvementsinline withwhat the<br />

majority of the community want,’’ Mayor<br />

CraigMacklesays.<br />

The council did not receive the full<br />

amount requestedfromWaka Kotahi<br />

New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA)<br />

to help fund the roading programme,<br />

resulting in ashortfallof$2,293,000 over<br />

the three­yearperiod from <strong>2021</strong> to 2023.<br />

Rather than postponingthe work, the<br />

council has resolved to reduce the<br />

operatingprogramme budget to 90%, and<br />

to fund the shortfall of NZTA subsidy for<br />

operations through the roadingrate and<br />

continue with the capitalprogramme as<br />

originally proposed with the capital<br />

works subsidy shortfall loanfundedover<br />

15 years.<br />

‘‘Weall use roads, thisishow we get<br />

around the district and roading is one of<br />

the main activities of the council,<br />

contributing significantly to total annual<br />

costs,’’MrMacklesays.<br />

‘‘Wehave decided we needtodothe<br />

worknow, as any delays to the roading<br />

programme could result in much greater<br />

costs in the future.’’<br />

The footpath subsidy from NZTAwas<br />

alsoconsiderably less than expected.<br />

‘‘Wehave heard from the community<br />

overanumber of years about the state of<br />

our footpaths,’’ Mr Macklesays.<br />

‘‘Whilewedonot have the full subsidy<br />

thatweexpected, the councilagreesthat<br />

we need to up our gameand continue<br />

withthe original proposal to maintain<br />

and upgrade our footpaths.’’<br />

Thishas resulted in an overall average<br />

rateincrease of 5.9% for the <strong>2021</strong>/2022<br />

financial year and a10­year average<br />

increaseof3.36%.<br />

Borrowing is forecast to reachnomore<br />

than$11.05million at its peakinthe 2026<br />

financial year.<br />

Other submissions requestedfinancial<br />

support for the Mayfair Theatre, the<br />

Kaikoura CyclingClub and Te Korowai.<br />
