Introduction
Business Hawke's Bay is the regional business-led economic development agency in Hawke's Bay. We
focus on supporting the growth of Hawke's Bay businesses and attracting new business/investment
to the region. Business Hawke's Bay effectiveIy and efficiently makes the best use of limited resources
available in the region to fulfil our vision which is:
To retain, grow and attract vibrant businesses and people talent, making Hawke's Bay the
best regional location in which to work, invest, live and grow.
We have the business expertise and knowledge required, both in our governance and operational
personnel, to make a real and significant impact on business growth and development in Hawke's Bay.
We work with a "for business by business" approach and provide hands-on experience to help
businesses, large and small to successfully operate in the Hawke's Bay region. We are non-political
and work in a collaborative way with a wide range of organisations and businesses.

Successful Tracl< Record
Established in 2011 and becoming an independent incorporated society in July 2013, we are proud of
our collaborative working style and track record of success which were only made possible through
the co-funding of local government and members of the business community. Examples of these
projects is included in Appendix I. Messages of support for BHB are included in Appendix 3.

The Council su binission process involves significant time and resources to prepare written and present
oral submissions to five audiences. The time and resources would be better spent on providing the
services we have been set up to provide. We acknowledge that there is an action item in the REDS to
review the economic development delivery model.
BHB has also relied on in-kind sponsors and targeted financial sponsors for specific projects. Examples
include:

BHB's financial policy is to maintain a Net Surplus as part of its risk mitigation. PWC audits BHB's
accounts. The audited financial statements for FYI5 are available on request. We expect the audited
FYI6 accounts to be available by the end of July 2016.
B H B Plan
The BHB plan is structured into 8 focus areas which are summarised below.
The plan detailed assumes that all funding requests made during the Annual Plan process are
supported. If that is not the case, we will contact representatives from funders to outline our
priorities.
I. Focus on Partnerships - STRENGTHEN
Desired Outcomes: As the business-led regional EDA, the Board and CEO have increased their
focus on strategic-level relationships important to regional economic development; to be the
goto partner for business-led economic development initiatives in Hawke's Bay.
.
Strengthen pa rtnership and communication with regional stakeholders at Board level;
o
Continue to be the go-to regional partner for central government agencies which support
business growth and development.
2. Focus on REDS - PARTICIPATE/LEAD
Desired Outcomes: The economic development delivery model includes business
representation at governance level; BHB appointed and resourced to be lead agency for agreed
actions.
o
Sustain our active support of the process to develop the Hawke's Bay Regional Economic
Development Strategy;
o
Participate in the discussion to determine the best economic development delivery model for
the region;
.
Deliver those actions BHB is resourced to deliver.
3. Focus on Hawke's Bay Business Hub (HBBH) - STEP Up
Desired Outcome: Growth in business engagements; provide examples of collaboration
amongst members; resource operations role to improve the customer experience and financial
resilience of the HBBH.
HBBH is maintained as a BHB-managed initiative. We have established a leadership team at the
HBBH. We acknowledge the contribution made by individual members (refer to the Appendix I Id for examples).
3
.
{.,.
I.
BHB provides the 'glue' behind the scenes of the HBBH. The BHB team provides leadership and
operational support. We have a goalto increase resourcing to strengthen the financial resilience
and management oversight of the Hub. On confirmation of our annual plan submissions, BHB will
resource this effort by appointing a Partner & Marketing Manager whose role, amongst other
duties, will include:
o Increasing & managing business partnerships/sponsors;
. The management of 'licences to occupy';
. Establishing a system to assist with reporting;
. Increasing messaging (story telling);
. Implementing a collaborative customer-focussed planning process to support continuous
improvement;
. Engaging Maori businesspeople via relationships, links to programmes and coinmu nication;
. With the support of members such as the NZTE & Callaghan Innovation funded Regional
Business Partners, extending our reach into CHB, Hastings & Wairoa;
4. 1:0cus on Productivity InTprovement & Innovation - SUSTAIN
Desired Outcome: Examples of businesses which have accessed programmes that help them lift
their productivity and innovation; in the long term, to see improvement in GDP per capita.
. In partnership with HDC and Callaghan Innovation we have contracted consultant Smarter
Better Faster to work with 1.0 organisations to improve productivity through High
Performance Work Initiative (HPWl) during 2016;
. BHB is arranging a Better by Lean workshop during May 201.6 in conjunction with Callaghan
Innovation. BHB also provides facilitation services to the Hawke's Bay Lean Cluster;
o To work in collaboration with HBBH members to hold an Innovation-themed conference in
Hawke's Bay.
5. 170cus on F&B - BUILD
Desired Outcomes: To provide growth examples of F&B businesses; to support the
establishment of a supply chain for a new goat/sheep dairy & value-add processing; to identify
and promote at least one new F&B opportunity based on global market assessment.
Our programme for F&B will continue to provide support:
o To F&B businesses - one on one and as a member of the cluster of agencies located at HBBH
which provide support to F&B businesses;
, For the establishment of a goat/sheep dairy industry and associated processing in the region;
4
..*
U
o
To F&B prospect investors.
Latelast Yearwe undertook a research project with Frost & SUIlivan to research globalF&B growth
OPPortu nities, focusing on 5-6 value-add product classes which presented possibilities for Hawke's
Bay. We are now talking to F&B contacts to help us identify a subset to focus our resources on.
This is a market-led, greenfields development process.
We are also in the very early days of exploring an exciting opportunity relating to F&B innovation.
6. Focus on Business Connectivity - FAST TRACK
Desired Outcome: Sustain competition in airlines servicing Hawke's Bay.
Once Jetstar decided to service Auckland-Hawke's Bay flights, our focus shifted from seeking
competition to sustaining competition. HDC & NCC are jointly funding a one-Year project through
which we are implementing a range of actions such as:
o Promoting the development of the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences & Events market
specifically targeting businesses;
o Researching 'landing pad' options and associated services available in Auckland to support our
SMEs to connect with their customers, supply chain partners and influencers;
. Developing an online business travel hub to point businesses to services and resources.
7. Focus on Agi'ibusiness - NEW
Desired Outcomes: To provide growth examples of agribusinesses; to identify agribusiness
capability in Hawke's Bay; to support Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme (RWSS) assuming it
proceeds; to publish specific Hawke's Bay agribusiness propositions; to manage a project related
to "Fieldays" 201.7.
On confirmation of funding, BHB will recruit a Programme Manager Agribusiness. The Programme
Manager will start out by meeting agribusinesses providing referrals for support, identifying issues
& opportunities; and recording information in BHB's CRM system so we can identify agri-networks.
As our local knowledge deepens, we will market targeted agribusiness opportunities in Hawke's
Bay. We anticipate that if the RWSS proceeds, then the Programme Manager will participate in
the CHBDC/HBRC RWSS project to maximise economic impacts.
The Programme Manager will also lead a collaborative project to showcase Hawke's Bay at
Fieldays 201.7. We have developed a proposal to brand our showcase 'Great Things Grow Here'
and expect that there will be opportunity for companies to co-exhibit.

8. Focus on Communications STEP Up
Desired Outcomes: To increase messaging within Hawke's Bay, to people with connections to
Hawke's Bay, specifically targeting businesses and investors.
In addition to supporting the Business Hub, the Partner & Marketing Manager will undertake
marketing communications for both Hawke's Bay Business Hub and BHB, and:
. Develop and implement social media campaigns targeting people with links to Hawke's Bay;
, Redevelop the BHB website, publish the BHB annual report; develop business partnering
proposals.
We therefore request that Central Hawke's Bay District Council:
. Contribute $1.0,000pa towards core funding of Business Hawke's Bay; and
. Implements a three-year funding contract;
. Executes a licence to occupy at Hawke's Bay Business Hub for a minimum of 2 years, ideal Iy
4 years;
. Renews its subscription to Infometrics;
. Supports the establishment of a centrally-funded mechanism to support Business Hawke's
Bay. We are not advocating necessarily for a regional rate structure, but for a central funding
structure that is supported by all five Hawke's Bay Councils. We would also like to see the
funding confirmed on a three-Year cycle, which we would report on annually but which would
not necessitate returning to ask for funding annually.
Appendix 2 outlines BHB's funding requests being made to allCouncils.
Central Hawke's Bay District Council
BHB acknowledges Council's support for the Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme (RWSS).
Council will be aware that BHB has been particularly active in the primary and associated processing
industries through our Food and Beverage Programme. BHB has been leading the initiative to establish
the goat/sheep dairy industry and associated processing in Hawke's Bay, which will add value to and
diversify our land-based industries as well as generate jobs throughout the whole supply chain.
Council will also be aware of the support BHB has been extending to an investor who is planning to
establish significant dairy goat farming and value add processing in Waipawa (refer Appendix 3 - item
4). We find business people like talking to business people, so the positive relationships we have
6
,I
e'
developed in our business networks are an advantage to the region when businesses are seeking to
establish themselves here.
Having reflected on our success with the Food & Beverage Programme, BHB is now planning the
appointment of an Agribusiness Programme Manager. We anticipate a highlight of the agribusiness
programme will be a collaborative project to market regional opportunities at Fieldays 2017 and with
this in mind, BHB invited Paul Collits, representing CHBDC, to participate in the recent discussion with
Fieldays in Hamilton. On confirmation of resourcing requests to Councils, our intention is to progress
the Agribusiness Programme regardless of the outcome related to RWSS.
The Hawke's Bay Business Hub provides an opportunity for regional collaboration and we look forward
to CH BDC joining us.
Thank You for the opportunity to make this submission.

c) Room Hire
Room hire has contributed just under $9,000 in FYI. 6 towards Business Hub operational costs.
d) Collaboration & Support
Examples of collaboration and support include:
i. The Business Hub cluster of agencies focusing on F&B companies: BHB's F&B Programme
Manager, NZ Food Innovation Network BDM, and Regional Business Partners. They are scheduling
educational seminars and drop-in coffee opportunities for F&B businesses. The seminars are well
received
and attract businesspeople from Hawke's Bay and other regions. For one
businessperson it reconfirmed their decision to relocate from Auckland to Hawke's Bay.
ii. The process to develop the regional economic development strategy (REDS).
iii. Infometrics shared licence. Infometrics is an online portal for economic information. BY arranging
licensing for all Councils and BHB via the HBBH (as opposed to each organisation having its own
individual licence), we saved the region more than $22,000.
iv. Ienny Brown from HBRC facilitating H&S policy development and implementation together with
training.
v. Lee Neville and Caroline Thornson from HDC conducting financial scenario analysis.
vi. Sue Greenwood (NZTE), Ienny Brown (HBRC), Lisa Te Maro (BHB) and Susan White (BHB) reviewing
room hire service opportunities and associated documentation.
2, The Icehouse
Business Hawke's Bay has championed the introduction of The Icehouse, a SME growth specialist, to
Hawke's Bay, and since its launch in April2013, it has engaged with more than 300 organisations in
the region supporting them with a range of programmes from owner clarity and strategic planning to
leadership training. Of the >300 organisations The Icehouse Hawke's Bay has assisted':
o 225 have improved their bottom line
o 210 have grown their top line sales
o 195 have released new products &/or developed new channels to market
o 39 have started exporting or are scaling their export operation
o 34 have reviewed their governance structure
o 75 are investing in leadership development
' Reported by The Icehouse Hawke's Bay in October 2015
1.0
"
,
The Icehouse support for Hawke's Bay businesses is seeing positive results in a number of areas of
business operation including the creation of new jobs. 73% of the organisations that have engaged
with The Icehouse have recruited one or more new employees' This equates to around 220 new roles
for the region.
3. Food and Beverage Programme
In addition to extending support to F&B businesses, BHB has also championed the opportunity related
to the establishment of a new industry to the region: value-add nutritional powders (infant formula)
based on goat/sheep dairy. As part of this project we have:
. Identified a network of interested parties - NZ Food Innovation Network, MPl, banks, geneticists,
farmers including Maori, MBIE, NZTE and more;
e In partnership with H BRC, NCC and others, held a conference with more than 200 attendees where
a range of presenters took us from the market opportunity, to economic impacts for Hawke's Bay,
to value-add processing, to genetics, and to on-farm impacts and opportunity;
o Engaged and supported investors who are looking to establish processing in Hawke's Bay
BHB is sustaining its focus on the establishment of this industry. Based on our research and support
of prospect investors we continue to be optimistic that processing will be established in the region.
BHB is also facilitating connections and information for another significant investorlooking to establish
F&B operations in New Zealand.
We also introduced Wairoa Taiwhenua and other land holders in Wairoa District who are exploring
potential land use options to F&B processors located in the region, who are seeking to increase their
horticultural supply.
4. Productivity Improvement
Business Hawke's Bay together with HDC has managed the Callaghan Innovation co-funded High
Performance Work Initiative for the region. More than 20 organisations have participated to date with
a further ten organisations enrolled this Year.
Business Hawke's Bay together with NZTE and Callaghan Innovation held a Better by Lean workshop
in May 2015 - we are running this again in May 2016.
5. Regional Economic Development Strategy (REDS)
Business Hawke's Bay is participating in the development of the Regional Economic Development
Strategy. This has been a significant commitment. CEO Susan White is a member of the project team.
Her participation started at the very beginning of the project with scoping, and has continued
11
F
.
,\
; ,:;
throughout the engagement process as an interviewer and participator at the three Maori-led
warianga, attendance at project meetings, and contributor to the writing of the strategy.
Three BHB board members are on the REDS governance group (A1an Pollard - CEO Pipfruit New
Zealand; Chris Collins- CEO EIT; Doug Ducker- MD Pan Pac Forest Products).
BHB supports the collaborative approach that has been taken through this project as the way to
achieve the best outcomes for Hawke's Bay economic development.
6. letstai'
BHB worked with Councils, Hawke's Bay Tourism, other organisations and business people to
successfully attract Jetstar to Hawke's Bay.
7. Regional Business Attraction Strategy
BHB has been involved in supporting the following businesses:
o Investors seeking to establish infant formula processing in Hawke's Bay - one of these processors
is proactive Iy working to secure investment needed to establish operations in Central Hawke's
Bay;
, A further F&B processor looking to establish operations in New Zealand;
, A technology company relocating from Auckland looking to establish operations in Havelock

APPENDIX THREE: EXPRESSIONS OF SUPPORT' FOR BHB
We have incorporated messages of support for BHB in this submission.
I. Received from Lydia Baty: Owned Director Tuki Tuki Dairy Goats, 3 May 201.6
Business Hawke's Bay (namely Catherine Rusby) has been a critical network in getting the dairy
goat industry kick-started in Hawke's Bay. The potential of this industry is huge and without
Business Hawke's Bay we could not have generated the interest and excitement we have
generated.
A new industry is bound to have its ups and downs and the support Business Hawke's Bay has
offered during the ups and downs has been beyond measureable.
2. Received from wette Chard: Owned Director at Plantation Road Dairies, 3 May 201.6
Hawke's Bay Business Hub is an incredible resource that gives us the confidence to try new things.
I feel confident in the team there that I could access networks and training that is crucial to
growing our business.
Without it we would be at a loss, please support them by continuing Your funding to Business
Hawke's Bay. Hawke's Bay can be prosperous and we have some momentum but still a long way
to go.
3. Received from Angela Payne: Owned Managing Director, Agri-lab Co- Products Ltd, 3 May 201.6
Thank You for the opportunity to endorse the work of Business Hawke's Bay - and we are so lucky
to have such a team of coin petent people working out of the centralised location being The Hub.
I've really appreciated the advice that BHB have given me while looking at sale options for my
business, and in particular setting me up via video link for the Better by Capital chat, and also oneon-one with Catherine about valuation options and where to I who to next, as things start to get
serious.
The various networking events that I have attended, and in particular the food safety training and
regulations workshops - are incredibly good value with great people who are incredibly generous
with their wisdom and insights - has been fantastic this year (20/5/16) and I have got a lot out of
the training, as well as picking up new clients and friends.
I look forward to what Business Hawke's Bay brings to our business community for many Years to
come.

5. Received from Am anda Liddle, Manager, Export NZ - Hawke's Bay, 4 May 201.6
On behalf of Export New Zealand I would like to express my support for Business Hawke's Bay
as the business-led economic development agency.
Export New Zealand is located in the Hawke's Bay Business Hub alongside several other
business organisations. The Hub has been operating for just over a year and in that time a
strong sense of cohesion has developed within the agencies located there. The feedback from
15
",
; ,,
visitors has consistently remained the same - that it is much easier to come to one place and
visit several organisations at the same time, rather than be shuffled from one person to the
next in order to gain business advice. The facilities are excellent, and there is a welcoming,
helpful energy throughout. The meeting rooms are of a high standard and having so many
different options means we can cater to all our events, no matter what the size.
A significant outcome that Business Hawke's Bay has achieved is the harbouring of a
collaborative model within the agencies at the Hub. Specific examples are the visit from the
American Ambassador and his family to talk to companies and regional stakeholders about
the Us market last December. This was hugely beneficial to local businesses and was a
fantastic promotional opportunity for the region.
The hugely successful ExportNZ Hawke's Bay Export Awards is another example of the
collaborative approach by Business Hawke's Bay, ExportNZ, NZ Trade and Enterprise,
Callaghan Innovation, Food Innovation Network and other organisations and we all work
together to create a successful event. It is further demonstrated by Susan White, CEO
Business Hawke's Bay and Am anda Martin, Customer Director, NZTE agreeing to be judges for
the awards.
Hawke's Bay is too small to be all doing our own thing. Business Hawke's Bay's formation of
the Business Hub has created a collaborative, credible, business support environment to help
businesses succeed while making sure the agencies that can help are all aligned.
6. Received from Ant Williams: Owner/Managing Director, St. Andrews Limes, 5 May 20, .6
Business Hawke's Bay has been instrumental in bringing potential growers/partners, and St
Andrews Limes to meetings to discuss ideas about expanding the citrus industry in greater
Hawke's Bay.
7. Received from Wayne Startup: CEO/Director, The Village Press, 5 May 201.6
The Village Press has identified a critical constraint as its business of Olive Oil & Avocado Oil
grows significantly - being our grower supply chain.
Business Hawke's Bay has been instrumental and the initiator of several contacts as well as
presentation functions and meetings with land owners throughout Northern Hawke's Bay
area - with a view to providing a credible format at which we have been able to present
alternate land use opportunities - with the offer of long term supply contracts to The Village
Press - for both new olive grove developments as well as avocado orchard developments.
This has integrated well with Education service providers (EIT) whereby local personnel can
gain tertiary education and be confident they can immediately gain work experience (on our
existing olive groves in Hawke's Bay) as well as longer term be gainfully employed on their
own olive groves and/or avocado orchards.
Business Hawke's Bay (Catherine Rusby) have persisted with achieving these meetings and
presentations where I would suggest a strictly commercial initiative would have "let it go" long
ago - being akin to "herding cats".
16
" ..~I
I
a
It would appear that the level of trust and ease of communications with the various land
owners has been built up over quite some time & whatever efforts and initiatives that have
achieved that level of confidence should be highly valued - as The Village Press has in being
able to introduce our proposed options for alternate land use.
Thank You Catherine and Business Hawke's Bay.

Dust on Blaek Road, Ashley Chaton
Over the last 25 years the volume of traffic generally and heavy truck and trailer units in
particular, has increased to an extant that as a consequence the amount of dust ereated
by these vehicle movements jus beeome intolerable to the residents affected by tits
problem.
011 some days with still air conditions or near eahii, the dust may rise to anyth^nor up to
I00 fleet and drift across the land like a fog and settle on anytlinig encountered. It lands
on roofs and eventually finds it's way into house water tanks. '^s poses a health issue
which is obviously unacceptable. Stock water. troughs have a greater quantity of sludge
than would nonnally be expected.
If anyone is working on a road fiance line or sprayirio with a gull and hose and a stock
truck or nitlk tanker comes by, the dust created takes some time to dissipate and one can
only hold one's breath for a lintted time. Ingestion of dust to the lungs is another health
problem, and this is exasperated if there are two vehicles in succession either cowing or
.
going.
The normal practice of leaving \\, indows open, especially baitiroom \\?in dows, means
dust intrusion is on a greater scale than would be experteneed on a sealed road.
Sometimes leaving our driveways it is not uncommon for a truck to come past and a
cloud of dust makes the visibility, zero and to proceed on to the road is fraug!It \\, ith peril
until the dust has cleared.
The above was outlined to the Council's Roading Manager in September 2013 and he
stated to the residents concerned that he was awaitino a price for "dustless graver' and if
suitable this would be applied.
This was duly done in November 20 13 on a stretch of road roughly 1.4 kms. or so. The
result was only very SIiglitly less dust kicked up by cars but no noticeable diffi3rence by
heavy vehicles. Potholes developed after a passage of time and in general the "dustless
gravel" has proved to be meffectual.
The Member of Parliament for Tukituki was appraised of the concerns and the dust
problems on Black Road in September 2013 and \\, as updated agatii in Waipukurau in
February 2016 and he indicated to proceed flirt, her to get the matter resolved.
Section 19B & 20 of the Land Transport Management Alumendinent Act 2008 in part
states:
(a)
(ii)
(A) assisting economic development:
(D) protecting and promoting public health:
(E) eusurii}g environmental sustainabitity:
The increase of agricultural production in this local area must be reflected in the above
parts of the act.
Consequently, if t\;\,, o kilometres of the road was sealed where required, the problems for
those residents concerned would be resolved and would also be for the general greater
good for the other road users in the area.
Enclosed are various doeuments pertaining to this subject.

Submission in Support of Nick Battersby: Tar Seal Blacks Road.
Stephenson Transport Ltd fully support the submission of Nick Battersby for the tare seal extension
of Blacks Road Ashley Clinton. (approx. 1400m).
Our trucks and trailers travel this metal Road frequently and find it particularly hazardous because of
the dust created by alltraffic. We have encountered alitypes of trafficincluding cars, trucks,
tractors and other farm machinery, farm bikes, pedestrians, walkers, joggers and cyclists and with
the dust created, visibility is extremely limited creating a great danger to all concerned. At times
we have found it best to stop and wait for the dust to settle before proceeding.
In recent Years produce coming from this area has increased considerably and we believe it has the
potential to continue increasing with the more intensive farming practices of today
For traffic safety we strongly urge Council to tar seal Blacks Road.
Kind regards,

To wingm this may concern
suP^a' cog s^ex Roan ^us
I write in support of residents on Black Road, requestoing trait the road be sealed. Please find
below a brief summary of the reasons why Federated Faminers Hawkes Bay supports this
initiative. We vri!I also be making this recommendation in our submission to the Central
Hawkes Bay District Council Draft Annual Plan 203.6.
Federated Farmers submission to the Draft 203.5-2025 Long Term Pian, advocated for
efficient Counti; actin'ties, foalssed on the core responsibilities of delivering affordabie
pub!ic good services and infrastn, eaure to its communities. We made specific reference to
the amount of capital that rural rate payers provide, particularly for roading. We therefore
recommended that Council ensure that rural roads are maintained and upgraded in the
future, as necessary to support the surrounding community.
We also made specific comments about the roading rate increasing from 0.272 cents per
dollar in 203.2 to 0.307 cents per dollar. This is a 3.5% increase in the contribution by each
ratepayer. We referenced the discrepancy between what homers pay and what other
ratepayers contribute to roading, for example a Talcapau member farmer will pay 1,034
times more than the coinmercia! ratepayer, and an extraordinary 2,403 times more than
the Waipu;:urnu residential ratepayer.
We are therefore disappointed to hear that the residents of Black Road have to heavily
lobby Council to take action and seal their road. The owners of these properties contribute
a significant amount via the roading rate, and it is therefore important that they are
provided with the necessary services to ensure that their livelihoods are up held.
Federated Fanr, ers has pub!idy thanked the Council in previous statements and
,: ,. ..,
.^
submissions, for its t^amier/rural friendly altos. We therefore ask that the Council act
urgently to address this matter on behalf of the erack Road residents, to ensure that it
maintains its reputation as a fonvard thinking rural supporting Council.

Submission in su
it of e, derided sealing of Blasts Road, Ashlev Ciinton
Vet Services (HB) Ltd supports the petition calling for an extension to the tar sealing
on Blacks Road at Ash!ey C!inton.
Our production animal veterinarians are regularly on mis road when havening to any
of several clients on the unsealed portions of Blacks Road, Boy!e Road and Witsons
Cutting Road. There is no doubt that volumes of trail',c have increased in recent
years with changed land uses and increased Ieve!s of service. Visibility issues make
this an increasingly dangerous stretch of road, to the point that it is sometimes
necessary to stop and allow dust to settle before continuing. I am not aware of any
accidents involving our vehicles but I have personally been involved in several neap
misses with stock trust<s and local I^arm vehic!es.
In addition to the practicalities and inherent danger of the dust from a driving
perspective, we are also aculely aware of the nuisance of billowing dust for the
residents near the road. in any dry weather this is a particularly dusty road and it can
be impossible to pass the adjacent houses without sending plumes of dust across
the properties, no matter how slow one travels. Our veterinarians work closely with
and enjoy good vJorking relationships with all the residents on the aflected section of
the road and while they endeavour to drive in a socially acceptable manner, it is a
source of some distress that our passing vehicles continue to ply these properties
with dust.
We would ask that Council seriously consider the proposal to extend the sealing on
Blacks Road for as far as budgets and funding vinl allow, as soon as proofically
possible.
Regards
Richard Hiison

Hello Nick,
Thank you very much for coining in and outlining to me your issues with the
condition of Blacks Road and its gravel surface which I am well aware of as
we operate the local area school bus service for Sherwood School under a
Ministry of Education contract.
I wish to add my support to Your submission to the Central Hawke's Bay
District Council for a seal extension on Blacks Road and I concur with the
points made by Bruce Stephenson in his letter of submission.
Our school bus drivers are trained to be extra vigilant and careful on
metal roads, a considerable number of which we use around the district, and
I am happy to say that we very much keep out of trouble. The fact remains
that metal roads offer quite a lot lower level of operating safety than do
sealed roads and as our industry carries the most valuable cargo of all,
other people's children, it is our wish to see seal extension work carried
out wherever possible, especially on Ministry of Education school bus
routes.
The other main consideration for us is operating cost. Metal roads are very
hard on tyres, vehicle under body structure and inside rear lower panel
work. Engine oil needs to be changed more often, as do oil, fuel and air
filters. It is very hard to keep vehicles used on metal roads acceptably
clean and they tend to age faster than vehicles used only on sealed roads
and thus often require earlier replacement. The costs involved are an
ongoing concern to us.
Clearly for us seal extension is the way to go and I coinmend Your
initiative in placing this matter before the CHBDC and I sincerely hope You
achieve a positive outcome.
Kind regards,
G re nt.

Submission to the Central Hawkes Bay District Council Annual Plan
Steffan Browning MP - Green Party
This submission requests that the Central Hawkes Bay District Council phase out the use of glyphosate and similar
based herbicides from its streets, playgrounds and parks.
Glyphosate was listed by the World Health Organisation last Year as a probable carcinogen, and glyphosate based
herbicides have been shown to have other negative health and environmental effects, raising concern for
community and worker health, and possible liability issues. Effective non-toxic alternatives to glyphosate based
herbicides are increasingly being used by councils.
Consideration of the negative effects of herbicides in the environment must be a clear part of the council's Long
Term Plan, especially at a time when science validating community concerns is increasingly available. The Annual
Plan process is an appropriate and quick way of ensuring urgent changes needed for improved community wellbeing.
Tourism - Clean green 1.00% Pure Aotearoa New Zealand branding is a n important component of the success of
tourism to Your region and New Zealand generally. However roadside, playground and park spraying is contrary to
that image, with many tourists surprised to see what appears to be a cavalier attitude to agrichemical use here,
especially in urban areas. Many countries have already severely restricted use of glyphosate based herbicides in
urban areas, with some banning all uses. In fact, this April, the European Parliament called for a ban on all uses of
glyphosate-based herbicides in private and public green areas, including spraying in and around public parks,
playgrounds and ga rdens.
Christchurch City Council also recently voted to stop the use of glyphosate based herbicides in all areas open to the
public. While that doesn't go as far as many overseasjurisdictions, or ensure full community safety from the
herbicide, it is an appropriate move for a local authority to take when a threat to community, worker, and
environmental health is recognised.
Continued use of glyphosate and similar based herbicides in Your region, especially in urban areas, is a potential risk
for the community, workers and for the tourism brand.
Significant scientific evidence ITas shown that:
T. Glyphosate affeets bacteria's response to antibiotics
2. Glyphosate damages hormones and is a probable carcinogen
3. Glyphosate is often combined in weed killers with other active ingredients that are more toxic to animals
and people than glyphosate by itself
4. When it enters waterways, glyphosate harms fish and other aquatic animals
5. Glyphosate negatively affects the natural behaviour of bees, causing them to forget where their hives are
6, Glyphosate Ieaches into groundwater
7. We don't know what a safe level of glyphosate is, as it has never been assessed by regulators at sub-lethal
levels
Supportive evidence can be found in my commissioned 44 page heavily referenced report; Glyphosote: No
Sole Level20Z6 report

POURERERE BEACH IMPROVEMENT AssN;

1.8" April, 201.6
C. HB. District Council
SUBMISSION
On behalf of the residents of Pourerere Beach we wish to thank You for Your previous funding. It has
allowed us to erect fencing and plant lots of suitable plants for the protection of the sand dunes.
As this will be our 3" year for planting, we are on the understanding that Council would fund us another
$5000. This will allow us to complete the 3 Year plan.
We will be planting down the Southern end of the beach in front of the cottages and through the
camping ground as well.
We have had lots of compliments on the plantings and fencing, which have been done, and how tidy it
looks.
We look forward to hearing from you.
On behalf of Pourerere Beach Improvement Assn
With thanks,
Noeline Lainont

Have Your Say:
Any other suggestions?
I wish to submit that all sports clubs should be exempt from all general and land ti'arsport rates. There are many
inconsistencies with the present policy with a number of organisations receiving not only free use of council facilities
but in fact some are benefitting from direct financial assistance from the disti'ict's ratepayers. These spoi'ts clubs are
an essential part of the districts makeup and more importantly provide for the exercise and wellbeing of people in our
communities. With the present drive to reduce obesity, especially among the Young it is essential we encoui'age these
clubs to remain viable. I firmly believe the council has a role to play with regard to health and wellbeing of its
community. In some cases it does exactly that eg the pool complex. So please be consistent and support all sporting
organisations to a greater extent than at present. I applaud the low rate rises but this must be 1<ept in perspective. I
am not tall<ing about a large amount of money within the Council budget but evei'y little bit helps when it comes to
1<eeping sporting clubs participation affordable. For those clubs operating on council owned land there should be
I
~
,

rebate of the rental paid if applicable. After all it is the community that in effect owns that land and in many cases is
used by the community as a whole and notjust the sports club that operates o11 the land in question.

Yes, I refer to the consultation document, page 5, where it states "We are also looking at taking water from the darn as
part of our long term strategy around water supply for the community. The Council is currently talking with HBRIC and
will consult with the community when full details of the plan to take water are known. The consultation to commit to
taking water would take place prior to Council reaching a final agreement with HBRIC. "
The Council has reneged on this commitment to ratepayers by signing an agreement and committing to take 250,000
in3 water for Takapau and Otane townships. Regardless of one's position on the RWSS, this is plainly a lie, and any
councillor who voted in favour of signing for the water without prior consultation is not to be trusted to keep their
word. Council in effect has broken their promise, as this promise was not conditional on the quantity or value of any
water taken - it clearly implied any amount of water from the dam, no matter how small or insignificant. I therefore
regard this commitment as null and void, and of no effect, until such time as Council fulfiis its stated promise

I do not wish to present my submission in person at the Council Meeting.
2016-17 Annual Plan submission:
I.
I agree to CHBDC participating in the NZ Local Government funding Agency Scheme. But only if it does not start
borrowing more money because it is cheaper to do so than before.
CHBDC must still keep borrowing and expenses and rates as low as possible.
2.
I agree that an Ariaerobic Pond should be built and debt funded by ratepayers connected to Wastewater. CHBDC
should also reconsider alternatives to discharging wastewater into the Tukituki. To many people this is abhorrent
and would never be approved regardless of how well it is treated.
CHBDC should also not allow more volumes of wastewater to enter the wastewater system until it has got the
treated wastewater well within it consent conditions permanently.
3.
RWSS:
I agree that CHB District Council and councillors must consult with the CHB people prior to council reaching a final
agreement with HBRIC to take water from the RWSS as started in the LTP 201.5-25 and Annual Plan 2016-1.7
Consultation Documents.
"The Councilis currently talking with HBRIC and will consult with the community when full details of the plan to take
water are known.
The consultation to commit to taking water would take place prior to council reaching a final agreement with
H BRIC. "
The fact councillors and Mayor and CEO of CHBDC knowingIy broke their promise and signed an agreement for
Otane and Takapau is unprincipled and unethical. Councillors and CHBDC CEO have moral duty to keep their
promises made to CHB people.
Council must consult before signing any more agreements with HBRIC regardless of how much water or cost is
involved.
I want CHBDC to decide against any other proposal to invest ratepayer money in the RWSS or to buy more water
from the RWSS.
I
~~
;, \_>
Water usage over the by Waipukurau, Waipawa, Otane and Takapau over the years 2011-2015 show it is well within
the water consent limits.
On page 103 of the Long term plan 201.5-2025 it states that the water consents include sufficient volume to meet
the expected demand.
I am totally against the CHBDC's original proposal to have a Uniform annual charge to pay for buying water from the
RWSS for our towns.
It is unfair to make people including myself who will get no benefit from the RWSS and who aren\ connected to the
water supplies to have to pay for it.
In the Long term plan 201.5-2025 it states on page 21 that Uniform Annual Charges are used when the benefit is
considered to be shared equally by all ratepayers.
This is not the case for the proposed new water rate if CHBDC buys more water from the RWSS. Some people get
the water, some don't. They have their own water supplies and pay for their own water systems.
Some people might get economic benefit, other people will only get economic detriment through having to pay
higher rates.
In my and many other peoples view the environmental and ecological destruction that will occur if the RWSS is built
far outweighs any benefits from it.
In the Long term plan 2015-2025 on pages 160,161,169, in The Revenue and Financing Policy it states Water
Supplies will be funded by Targeted Rates and Fees and charges. So a Uniform Annual Charge should not be used for
the proposed water supply from the RWSS.
When CHBDC put out the Special consultation for Central Hawke's Bay District Council Investing in the Ruataniwha
Water Storage Scheme in May 201.4 nothing was said about the need to buy water. I and other people suspect this
as just another tactic to use rate payers money to support the RWSS.
Plan Change 6, Pol TF9 Implementing Minimum Low Flow Regime and Allocation Limits:
I. in (iii) Consented Takes for public water supplies. ...... shall have to be required to reduce their daily rate to a
reasonable andjustifiable amount as specified in their consents conditions.
CHBDC will not be denied water for town supplies that is a reasonable andjustifiable amount in times of low water
flow.
Obviously CHBDC is trying to cover up that there is no need to buy water at this time and probably for not Years to
come.
The CHB population growth is still uncertain and there is no guarantee that people will live in the towns if the RWSS
is built.
There is no guarantee the population of our towns will increase substantially and more business will start up in the
towns.
If the dam is built any people involved in the building could be out of jobs after it is finished, or shift to areas where
there are new work. If farmers/agriculturists take on more workers they might be accommodated on their
properties in the rural areas and it might be only seasonal work. Automation is being used more and will probably
be increased in future so less people could be needed for jobs now and in the future.
Processing might be done in Hasting/Napier where there is a larger workforce. Another deterrent for new
businesses is the higher rates CHBDC charges compared to Napier and Hastings, especially for water rates. That is
unless CHBDC intends to charge lower rates for new business setting up in CHBDC and expect domestic ratepayers
to subsidise them as well as the RWSS.
Hastings and Napier are closer to the Port of Napier and the Airport for getting supplies in and exporting finished
products. It would probably be more economical for processors to set up business in Napier or Hastings districts.
The local meat-works is in rural area and doesn't rely on town supplied water, milk supplied to Fonterra will most
likely be taken away to be processed. If processors come to CHB they might get their own water needs direct from
the RWSS.
Until there is a proven necessity to source more water the CHBDC should not be committing to any more long term
contracts to take water. The difficulty in getting water uptake from the RWSS proves there is no rush to sign up as
the RWSS water probably won't be fully allocated for many Years,

Ithink Central Hawke's Bay should officially become free of genetically modified organisms.
Organic farming should be encouraged.
We would be healthier and happier if Central Hawke's Bay was farmed organically and the earth and the
environment wasn't poisoned or polluted.
We need to make Central Hawke's Bay a clean, healthy, eco-friendly place to live and visit.
We need to care for the environment and live sustainably if we want to help make the world a better place to live in
now and for generations to come.
Food grown here would be known for being safe and sustainable. If grown organically it could also provide more
jobs on farms.
ECo-tourism could also attract more visitors,
5.
Big burn offs and fires that burn or smoulder for more than a day should be banned.
6.
Rates must be kept as low as possible and only for necessities.

Economic Development - Yearly report on how money spent
Recreation - I recommend CHBDC build an adult/sport appropriate skate boai'd Pail< at Russell Park. There are
individual public resources for children but not the I2yr upward group - boredom creates problems in any community
MY Urgent Priority Submission is that CHBDC rescind their decision to I, UV water from the RWSS for Lirban Otane and
Tal<apau without public consultation. CHBDC documents clearly stated that Public consultation would occur before
such a controversial decision was made - number of towns involved is irrelevant. It's the issue thats important
This is a suspension of democracy and the supposed urgencylopportunity was clearly an excuse to avoid the promised
democracy and to boost the RWSS take-up figures Many ratepayers will willingly pay the $3 extra supposed saving
lather than being shut out of a decision that affects us all

CHB District Council Submission to the Annual Plan 2016-2017

e Addition of an ariaerobic pond to the current waste water system
I fully support the addition of an ariaerobic pond to the current waste water treatment plant. I
believe it to have several benefits, including reduced smell, improved efficiency and at a lower cost.
o The buying of water from the RWSS for municipal supply.
I do not support the buying of water from the RWSS for municipal supply for the reasons listed
below.
(1) One of the arguments put forward for the taking of water from the RWSS is that water
supply to the townships is reduced during periods of summer dry due to low river flows. This
argument becomes irrelevant under the consents of the RWSS that require water to be
released from storage to maintain good summer flows.
(2) That there is no justification for increasing costs to the ratepayers, when the current system
is adequate as long as it is maintained.
a In addition to the above I believe that the recent action of the CHB district council in which
they agreed to sign up water forthe townships ofTakapau and Otane raises serious
questions about the motivations involved in the councils wish to use the RWSS for municipal
supply. In Your own words:
"The consultation to commit to taking water would take place prior to council reaching a final
agreement with HBRIC. "
It was a Year ago that I put a submission in on the Buying of water from the RWSS , so there has
been plenty of time for public consultation to take place. It has also been well known that the date
for sign up to the scheme was the 18'' of April201.6, Yet the agreement to sign up to water for
Takapau and Otane was passed under some urgency. It would be easy to assume then that the
motivation to purchase water from the RWSS is to give support to the scheme rather than to secure
the best outcome for ratepayers.
Thank You
Louise Phillips

Do you support Council building an ariaerobic pond at the Waipukurau Wastewater ponds?
There is a lack of information provided in the consultation document in order to truly evaluate the effectiveness of Yet
another add on to a wastewater plan that, from the outset, has had failure after failure.
~~
Has all incoming effluent into the plant been assessed and tested for at least 24 months to truly understand what is
being treated and what is required to effective Iy meet current and future demand? Could evidence of this and its
findings please be provided publicly.
The plan that was originally adopted as a cheaper option has failed. What is the true cost of the cheaper option initially
adopted and all the subsequent additions as each new "problem" of non-compliance arises? Ratepayers deserve to
know, notjust be given another cheaper option that may or may not solve another issue.
Will this last at least 30 Years and cope with projected growth?
Have Your Say:
Any other suggestions?
In the LTP Consultation Document it is stated, "We are looking at tal<ing water from the darn as part of our long term
strategy around water supply for the community. The Council is currently tall<ing with HBRIC and will consult with the
community when the full details of the plan to tai<e water are 1<nown. The consultation to commit to tai<ing water
would tai<e place prior to Council reaching a final agreement with HBRIC. "
The Council having made the decision to purchase water foi' Otane and Tal<apau have breached its commitment to the
community. The Councils decision to renege on its promised consultation is inexcusable, and the reasoning giveiT
untenable.
No other options for municipal supply were proposed or given to ratepayers to assess, if indeed any change to the
current supply is needed at all.
The degree of secrecy, lack of transparency and accountability apparent in the current council is the cause for major
concern for many within the community
I would Iil<e to speal< to my submission about this and other matters.

Dr John
20.6-, 7 ANNUAL PLAN CONSULTATION DOCUMENT
CENTRAL HAWKE'S BAY DISTRICT COUNCIL
Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback on the Central Hawke's Bay District
Council's (CHBDC) Annual Plan 2016-, 7.
The Hawke's Bay District Health Board (HBDHB) focuses on the health of the whole population
of Hawke's Bay. In supporting health and wellbeing we aim to work collaborative Iy with other
sectors of our community impacting on health. The activities of CHBDC overlap with those of
HBDHB and we see the halo organisations working together to support the wellbeing of the
Central Hawke's Bay community.
We generally support the direction of the Annual Plan and request further dialogue in respect
of two aspects.
I. Proposed Ariaerobic Pond
1.1. We request that Council assess the impact of the proposed new ariaerobic treatment
pond on health risks to river users downstream of the wastewater plant discharge. We
would also like to work with Council on such an assessment.
, .2. Reason for submission
We note that there have been several e. coli exceed ances reported to the Hawke's
Bay Regional Council since the commissioning of the new treatment plant and we
believe it is important that any further investment addresses public health risks as well
as environmental concerns.
2. 20/6/17 Rate Factors
2.1. We note that in the townships of Waipukurau and Waipawa, rates appear to be
increasing for owners of lower value properties and reducing for higher value
properties. We recommend that Council considers implementing a rating approach
that reduces the impact on families who are most likely to be adversely affected by
increases in costs.

2.2. Reason for submission
Families with no or minimal disposable income may need to cut back on other
expenditure such as GP visits.
Some increase may be due to the cost of providing wastewater services. We su est
that the benefits of investment in improving wastewater treatment a I to rural
ratepayers as well as those connected to the network. This is because under recent
changes to the Regional Resource Management Plan failure to adequate I reduce
nutrient, chemical and microbial discharges from the wastewater plant could result in
land use controls and on farm costs for rural ratepayers.
We wish to attend the hearing for the Annual Plan to address this submission in erson.

Re:
Annual Plan (201.6-2017) Consultation Document
From: Dr Trevor Le Lievre
1.4 Wallace Road
Waipukurau
Date:
^_^!:
INTRODUCTION
Central Hawkes Bay ratepayers are asked to submit thoughts on items in the Consultation Document
to assist in development of the Annual Plan for 2016-17. This is the first Annual Plan consultation
process under the recently amended Locol Government Act (2002) ILGAl which is intended to
provide a more effective public engagement process. The required content of the consultation
document is set outin section 95A(2)(a) of the LGA:
(2) The content of the consultation document must be such as the local authority
considers on reasonable grounds will achieve the purpose set out in subsection
(T), and must-
(a) explain identified differences, if any, between the proposed annual plan
and what is described in the long-term plan in relation to the financial
Year to which the annual plan relates.
The Consultation Document is complemented by Supporting Information available in electronic
format. The intent of the Act is clear - to empower ratepayers by provision of information, thereby
enabling them to have informed and meaningful input into the Annual Plan, as it relates to the Long
Term Plan.
PROPOSALS
I) New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency Ltd (LGFA) scheme
Q: Do You support the Council participating in the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency
Ltd (LGFA) scheme as a Non-Guaranteeing Authority?
A: U ridecided - insufficient information provided
Comment:
The Consultation Document provides high level analysis of potential savings from entering the
scheme, while the Supporting Information considers the risks associated with the four levels of
participation. Additional information is available in the Statement of Proposal on the Council's web
site; however, this document is not readily accessible and a search in preparation for this submission
did not locate it.
The Supporting Information document cites Council's obligation under the section 82 consultation
provisions of the LGA, namely:
Page I of 7
;' ,
Section 56 of the Locol Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) requires thot before o IOCol
outhority inoy estoblish or become o shoreholder in o council-controlled orgonisotion, the
IOCol outhority must undertoke consultotion in occordonce with section 82.
It is considered that the information provided in the Annual Plan is insufficient to enable informed
input, and accordingly falls short of the section 82 provisions. Coreinformation required includes:
. For comparative purposes, the rates council are borrowing at presently, and lending
sources?
. The reason Council has not entered the LGFA scheme previously, given the more favourable
interest rates, and why it is considering the option at this time?
. Council's intent - as borrowing projections are already costed in the Long Term Plan do
Council envisage big-ticket borrowing items that deviate from those projections, such as to
purchase Ruataniwha darn water or possibly to subsidise this scheme by investing in it, or
providing associated infrastructure?
2) Waipukurau Wastewater: Addition of an Ariaerobic Pond
Q: Do You support Council building an ariaerobic pond at the Waipukurau Wastewater ponds?
A: No - this investment will be insufficient to provide long-term solutions to Waipukurau's
wastewater discharge shortcomings.
Comment:
The Council has received 2 Regional Council abatement notices to date for breach of resource
consents in relation to excess ammonia levels. Regional Council sources indicate that a third
abatement notice is immanent. In ianuary 2016 it was reported that Council had applied for a
variation in the plant's consent on the basis that the discharge was not having an effect on the Tuki
Tuki river, and therefore varying the consent was a better option than investing in a new oxidation
pond. This stance is nonsensical on two counts. Firstly, it does not explain how the consented levels
were arrived at in the first instance; however, these were presumably set at levels able to be
sustained by the river's ecosystem. Secondly, it is a fallacy to argue that the discharge levels are
having no effect on the river as ammonia is still a nutrient which, while possibly not having acute
effects, will certainly have long-term chronic effects.
The Council's track record of discharges from the Waipukurau Wastewater ponds, which have been
monitored and well documented since 2008, is unfortunately very poor. A changed mind-set and
new political-will prioritising the health and well-being of the Tuki Tuki River, a precious taonga, is
required. The proposed ariaerobic pond is a short term least-cost solution and will certainly not
accommodate any growth in discharge from possible population growth.
Options for investment in a long-term and best-practice sustainable solution should be undertaken
and presented to ratepayers for consideration. This type of future-proofing would be worthwhile
taking a loan against to be paid for by rates am ortised over several Years, Current best-practice,
increasingly being adopted across AUStralasia, is the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) system. This
system has a medium capital cost with coinmensurate discharge outcomes, comparative with other
systems. For Council's consideration please refer to attachment I.

3) Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme
Q: Do You agree that Council should take water from the dam for community water supply?
A: No
Comment
This is nonsensical, and only makes sense if the Council's real agenda is to progress the darn by
contributing to the uptake of water contracts. Otherwise, there is no apparent rationale for
contracting to pay for water which is currently available at no cost under resource consents which
are nowhere near fully utilised. Arguments that paying for a common good essential to sustain
human and environmental life are a cost saving, on the basis of infrastructure savings, are similarly
specious
In my 2015 written submission to the 201.5-2025 Long Term Plan I commented: 'The Council ore to
be coinmendedfor committing to consult with rotepoyers when full detoils of ony PIOn to controctfor
woter ore known, ond prior to fiholising ony ogreement with HB Regiono/ Council Investment
Coinpony'. That commitment to ratepayers was made in the 201.5-2025 Long Term Plan and more
recently in the current 2016-2017 Annual Plan Consultation Document, and states:
"The Council I^ currently to Iking with HBRIC ond will consult with the community when the
full detoils of the pion to toke worer ore known. The consultotion ... (will) toke PIOce prior
to Councilreoching oilnologreement with HBRIC'.
However, at the recent extraordinary Council meeting of 1.4 April Council betrayed its promise in a
most perfidious manner by committing to sign Water User Agreements (WUA's) to supply the
townships of Takapau and Otane.
Council's corejustifications were twofold. Firstly, they maintained that their undertaking to consult
referred to ta king water for all of the CHB towns. Taking water for just two of the smaller towns was
something different, and in cost terms an insignificant deviation from the budget. Council's earlier
commitment, however, makes no mention of which towns might be supplied - it is to consult prior
to ony agreement being signed.
Secondly, to obtain the 6 cents cu' water discount necessitated signing up by the following Monday
deadline, and was 'too good an opportunity to miss'. The discount rate has of course been on offer
for several Years, affording plenty of time to consult. In short, neither of these arguments bear
scrutiny.
Moreover, Council have committed an ethical breach of trust with ratepayers and in so doing
assailed the cornerstone of any functioning democracy.
In legal terms this action also breaches sections 77,78,80 and 81. of the LGA and in consequence has
a high likelihood of attracting legal proceedings. Legal advice has been obtained that the Council
decision is likely to be found ultra vires by the High Court. The Hawkes Bay Regional Council
Investment Company should be put on notice by Council of this risk.

Draft User Fees and Charges
Q: Do You agree with the proposed changes to Fees and Charges?
A: No (Refuse and Greenwaste charges)
Comment
The Schedule of Fees and Charges is set out in the Supporting Information document; however, only
shows the re-scheduled charges which does not allow a comparative analysis with current charges.
While the categories of Fees and Charges are numerous, of specific interest to ratepayers due to
widespread and recurrent usage are the Refuse and Greenwaste charges which have increased,
albeit by small amounts.
These charges pose a cost burden additional to rates, especially for low income earners. They are
also a likely cause of the problematic and ongoing practice of dumping household refuse, green
waste and offal along the Tuki Tuki river bank. In the case of both household refuse and offal this
poses both environmental and health risks, and detracts from the amenity value of the Tuki Tuki
river. In the case of green waste this is also an environmental hazard as it introduces invasive plant
species that adversely impact on indigenous biodiversity.
Accordingly, Council should consider making dumping of refuse and green waste free to local
residents, and also make offal pits available free of charge. Both the Waipukurau and Waipawa
dumps should also be open on Saturday's and Sunday's as most working residents only have these
two days to visit the transfer station. If one of those days is inconvenient then both pecuniary and
time costs are incurred to travel to whichever station is open. This proposal would require costing;
however, costs would be offset by savings currently incurred in cleaning up the Tuki Tuki river bank,
and could be considered an investment in maintaining the river's environmental and amenity values.
Other means to subsidise free disposal could be considered, such as running a recycle shop at the
dump which has proven very successful in other jurisdictions.
5) Infracon Ltd Liquidation
Comment
In August 20141nfracon Ltd, which Council are 34% shareholders in, was placed into liquidation due
to it being in breach of banking covenants. Council as a 1.13 owner had representation on the Board
and are therefore accountable to ratepayers for the loss of their asset, valued at $3.7 million (from
which a sum of $304,000 has been recouped). The statement by Council's Chief Executive reported
in October 2015 that Council 'haven't invested any money in (Infracon)' mm and therefore 'from a
cash point of view (ratepayers) are no worse off than they were before' are disingenuous in the
extreme. To the contrary, Infracon was an asset built up with ratepayer money (cash) over several
Years which has now evaporated and so certainly ratepayers are worse off.
There has been insufficient information provided to ratepayers about how this event transpired, An
independent inquiry should be initiated by Council and the full report released to the public. This
would both provide lessons for the investment in, and management of, future enterprises, and
provide hitherto absent transparency and accountability

6) Rural Fire Authority
Comment
The Minister of Internal Affairs announced in November 201.5 that urban and rural fire services are
to be amalgamated into a unified fire service operation. Central Government have undertaken to
ensure that the strengths of both these services will be retained and enhanced. Initial thoughts that
this move makes good sense are confirmed by recent communication with several local volunteer
fire officers, with one volunteer maintaining that: 'this is the best thing since sliced bratwurst
sausage'. Clear advantages will arise from:
. Elimination of duplication of services and costs;
. Clearer fire ground responsibilities and reporting lines; and
. Adequately funded and qualified central administrative bodies.
However, several caveats apply and more information is required, namely:
. What will become of the assets of rural fire bodies which Council have committed resources to?
. Will there be redeployment of Council staff currently engaged in the running of rural fire
services?
. What mechanisms for monitoring and engaging with Central Government will Council employ to
ensure that there is no net reduction to current levels of service?
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Thank you for the opportunity to submit on the Council's Annual Plan (201.6-2017) Consultation
Document. A crucial component of a healthy democracy is the ability for the public to be heard, and
for that collective voice to be afforded due consideration. Certainly the recent changes to the Locol
Government Act (2002) implementing this consultative phase are constructive in this regard. I now
look forward to appearing before Council and presenting this submission in person.

Sequencing Batch Reactor: Operating Principles
The Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) is a variant of the activated sludge process. Although this is not
a new type of technology, its flexibility in being able to be modified depending on the in fluent and
effluent characteristics required and low footprint, means that they are used extensively throughout
the world.
It is designed to operate in a batch mode with aeration and sludge settlement both occurring in the
same tank. The major difference between SBR and conventional continuous-flow activated sludge
system is that the SBR tank carries out the functions of equalization aeration and sedimentation in a
time sequence rather than in the conventional space sequence of continuous-flow systems. In
addition, the SBR system can be designed with the ability to treat a wide range of in fluent volumes
whereas the continuous system is based upon a fixed in fluent flow rate. Therefore, there is a degree
of flexibility associated with the process and the controlsystem can be modified depending on the
desired effluent quality (e. g. nutrient removal).
The operating principles of a batch activated sludge process, or SBR, are characterized by a series of
discrete steps as depicted in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: Stages in SBR Treatment Process
The SBR Tank acts as the equivalent of several components in the conventional activated sludge
treatment process, as follows:
. Aeration Tank: the SBR Tank acts as an aeration tank during the reaction stage where the
activated sludge is mixed with the in fluent under aerated conditions.
Page 6 of 7

. Secondary Clarifier: the SBR Tank acts as a secondary clarifier during the settling and decanting
stages where the mixed liquor is allowed to settle under quiescent conditions, and the overflow
is discharged to the next stage of treatment.
. Sludge Return System: the activated sludge, following settling in the SBR Tank, is mixed with the
in fluent similar to the sludge return system, except that the feed is transferred to the sludge
rather than the sludge being transferred to the front end of the plant.
3.3 Wastewater Treatment Technologies
The following section provides an insight into some of the treatment technologies that have been
developed throughout the world which have a sufficient track record within Australia/New Zealand.
These established technologies are also ones which have a long track record of use throughout the
world. They have significant numbers of installations and considerable technical/process data is
readily available. Emerging technologies that are still at the development stage have not been
discussed here due to the long time that it takes for these treatment processes to come to the
market place (typically >I Oyears) and the significant cost premium.
Costing specific treatment processes and then comparing them is very difficult to achieve due to the
site specific factors that are often unique to the site. These include:
' Land prices and buffer zones;
. Site characteristics;
' Pumped/gravity collection system;
' In fluent volume;
. In fluent strength; and
. Desired final effluent quality (e. g. nutrient removal and disinfection)
Table 2 shows a comparison of operational and capital costs for a wide range of wastewater
treatment processes which are installed in New Zealand. Again it must be noted that the site
specific nature can influence the capital cost of the treatment system.

Hawke's Bay Federated Farmers welcomes this chance to submit on the Central Hawke's Bay District
Council (the Council) Draft Annual Plan 201.6 - 201.7. We acknowledge any submissions made by
individual members of Federated Farmers,
Federated Farmers is focussed on the transparency of rate setting, rates equity and both the overall and
relative cost of local government to agriculture. We are supportive of the Council's goal to ensure that
rates must remain within acceptable levels. While we recognise that the Council is very farmer friendly,
we have some recommendations on how the Annual Plan can be improved for the benefits of rural
ratepayers.

1.0 SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
I. Overall, we congratulate the Council on providing an Annual Plan that by large, provides its
community with minimal extra rating burden. For our membership, and a big part of the overall
agricultural economy, substantial drops in incomes and value mean that this Year is not business as
usual.
2. We coinmend the Council on the proposed reduction in debt of $6.8 million for 201.6-17, compared
to $95 million forecast in the Long Term Plan. We also support the proposal by the Council to
participate in the New Zealand Local Government Funding Agency LTD. We are encouraged by the
indicative savings, between $200,000 and $400,000 over the 1.0 Years to 2025, and recommend that
if these savings are realised, Council look to further reduce debt.
3. The Draft AP proposes an overall rates increase of 2.18%, which is a decrease on the 2.38% forecast
for 201.6-1.7 in the Long Term Plan. While we are pleased to see that the level of increase is slightly
less than projected, we encourage Council to keep rates increases as low as possible, especially
given the current low inflation rate.
4. While the overall rates increase has decreased, we remain concerned about the actual rate increase
for those in the rural zones. Of note, we see in the Funding Impact Statement, the increase in the
general rate and UAGC as the sources for operational funding, while less is recovered from the
targeted rate.
5. We also understand that the rates increases will not impact equally on all ratepayers as a result of
the recent revaluation process carried out by QV on Council's behalf. In the provision of rating
samples, the majority of rural values have increased, at rates between 2.3% and 16.8%. Aligned
with our submission to the General Rate below, we encourage Council to reduce the reliance on the
general rate as the primary means of recovering costs, as it is our members as rural ratepayers who
will face the burden of any revaluation increases.
6. The general rate for the 201.6-1.7 Year is to be struck at 0.12 (01.18 rounded to 3. d. p) cents in the
dollar of capital value. Federated Farmers recommends that to keep the reliance that Councils often
have on the general rate in check, that targeted rates and fixed charges are utilised to fund specific
activities instead.
7. Federated Farmers is strongly in support of rural differentials. Federated Farmers therefore
recommends that I) a boxed differential system is introduced to the general rate to moderate the
major discrepancies between ratepayers, and 2) where ratepayers receive the same level of service
from an activity, that funding is shifted from the general rate to a fixed charge to reflect the equal
benefit received.
8. Federated Farmers congratulates the Council for the good use of targeted rates and funding these
services on a userpays basis. Federated Farmers therefore recommends that targeted rates
continue to be used to fund kerbside collection, water supply and sewerage activities, and that the
targeted rate for Economic Development is extended to reduce reliance on the general rate as a
funding source.
9. Federated Farmers recommends that Council make full use of the Uniform Annual Charge and raises
this to the legislative maximum of 30% of the total rates income.
1.0. In our submission to the Long Term Plan, Federated Farmers confirmed our support for the RWSS.
We continue to support Council interest in the possibility of taking water from the scheme as part of
the long term strategy around water supply for the community.
11. We would like Council to set targets to decrease the number of unsealed roads, to ensure that
those in the rural zone have the necessary infrastructure to support them, socially and
economical Iy. In addition, recently Federated Farmers submitted a letter of support for Black Road
f, ;:*::.::\t* ,;; nit;,:; 3:1*,\;;,:,:\in t**, '}!';;;t L;{!: Alt, U*! ;,:;;;;,:11;;: - ;\)17

residents requesting that Council seal their road due to dust issues. We reiterate in our submission
to the draft AP, that this roading asset is given priority.
12. The draft AP provides an update on wastewater developments, specifically the proposal to build an
ariaerobic pond at the Waipukurau Wastewater ponds. Federated Farmers support Council in its
proposal to progress with the ariaerobic pond given the cost savings as well as the potential
environmental benefits.
FULL SUBMISSION
General comments
13. Hawke's Bay Federated Farmers appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Central Hawkes
Bay Draft Annual Plan 2016-17 (draft AP).
1.4. Federated Farmers is focused on the transparency of rate setting, rates equity and both the overall
and relative cost of local government to agriculture. We submit to Annual Plans and Long Term
Plans throughout New Zealand and make constructive proposals every Year to almost every Council.
We also submit on central government policies that affect local government revenue and spending,
with the aim of ensuring that local government have the appropriate tools to carry out their
functions.
15. Overall, we congratulate the Council on providing an Annual Plan that by large, provides its
community with minimal extra rating burden. For our membership, and a big part of the overall
agricultural economy, substantial drops in incomes and value mean that this year is riot business
as usual. We therefore appreciate Council actions to ensure that rating costs are fair and do not
pass on any unnecessary burdens to its communities.
1.6. Federated Farmers is underpinned by two key strategic policy objectives, one of which focusses on
sustainable farming, and the other on profitable farming. We believe that the direction of the draft
Plan aligns with our overarching strategy and we are in a position where we can work effective Iy
with Council, to ensure that regulations are beneficial to our Members and the wider Central
Hawke's Bay community.
Finances
1.7. In our submission to the Long Term Plan, we noted that Council was looking to undertake a business
as usual approach to the level of service provided over the next 10 Years, and agreed that given the
fiscal situation that the community and ratepayers are facing at present, this was the most sensible
approach.
18. We also made reference to the Council's Financial Strategy which recognises in particular the
"desire to monoge future rote rises to ensure offordobi7ity" and "the OPPlicotion of the user poys
principle". Farmers continue to face tough financial times. Consideration of affordability of rates is
therefore top priority to the Federation, as rates are one of the largest outgoings for our members.
Federated Farmers also supports the user pays principle, as we believe this is consistent with Local
Government Rating guidelines, in particular Section 1.01 (3) of the Local Government Act.

1.9. Federated Famers encourages Council to ensure that rating allocations are consistent with Local
Government Act guidance. While there are some 'community good' activities which are rightly
funded by all ratepayers, it is still important that each ratepayer's relative contribution for these
activities is reasonable. For activities where the direct beneficiaries are identifiable, we consider
that the allocation of rates should be directly related to services provided and received.
Debt
20, We coinmend the Council on the proposed reduction in debt of $6.8 million for 201.6-,. 7,
compared to $9.5 million as forecast in the Long Term Plan. In our submission to the Long Term
Plan, we indicated that while the level of debt proposed was to peak at $10.5M over the next 1.0
Years, we understood that the majority of the debt was to fund the renewal of existing assets and
provide resilience to the water and wastewater systems.
21. Federated Farmers advocates for efficient local governments, focussed on the core responsibilities
of delivering affordable public good services and infrastructures to its communities. We are
therefore supportive of the proposed debt expenditure to ensure that infrastructure is maintained
appropriate Iy, and new assets are developed as required for the community. We do however
encourage Council to ensure that debt is recovered proportionate Iy from those that will benefit
from the expenditure.
22. Federated Farmers also supports the means at which the Council will spread debt for new assets,
paid off over the course of their life (rioting the maximum of 30 Years). We agree that each
generation should be accountable to pay for its fair share of new assets to ensure intergeneration al
equity. As mentioned earlier, Federated Farmers are strong advocates of the 'user pays principle'
which this approach to debt repayments is aligned.
23. We also support the proposal by the Council to participate in the New Zealand Local Government
Funding Agency LTD. We are encouraged by the indicative savings, between $200,000 and
$400,000 over the 1.0 years to 2025, and recommend that if these savings are realised, Council
look to further reduce debt rather than re-directing any savings to new activities.
Rates
24. The draft AP proposes an overall rates increase of 2.18%, which is a decrease on the 2.38% forecast
for 2016-1.7 in the Long Term Plan. While we are pleased to see that the level of increase is slightly
less than projected, we encourage Council to keep rates increases as low as possible, especially
given the current low inflation rate. It is important when considering any rate increase, to
remember that the income of ratepayers will in no way increase to the same extent as the
proposed increases in rates.
25. While the overall rates increase has decreased, we remain concerned about the actual rate increase
for those in the rural zones. While the average total rate increase is consulted at 2. ,. 8%, there are
notable variations to those in the rural zone. Of note, we see in the Funding Impact Statement, the
^,,.,

,,.. ,\
increase in the general rate and UAGC s the sources for operational funding, while less is recovered
from the targeted rate. We recommend that Council continues to seek ways in which other rating
mechanisms can be used to ensure less reliance on the general rate, therefore more fairly
allocating rates across the zones.
26. We also understand that the rates increases will not impact equally on all ratepayers as a result of
the recent revaluation process carried out by QV on Council's behalf. As rural rate payers already
contribute substantially to rating revenue, we are therefore concerned that the Consultation
Document and Supporting Information does not provide an explanation as to the effect of the
revaluation process on rate increases. We do however note that in the provision of rating
samples, the majority of rural values have increased, at rates between 2.3% and 1.6.8%. Aligned
with our submission to the General Rate below, we encourage Council to reduce the reliance on
the general rate as the primary means of recovering costs, as it is our members as rural ratepayers
who will face the burden of any revaluation increases.
General Rate
27. The general rate for the 2006-17 year is to be struck at O. L2 (0J^8 rounded to 3. d. p) cents in the
dollar of capital value. This is consistent with that forecast in the Long Term Plan.
28. Federated Farmers recommends that to keep the reliance that Councils often have on the general
rate in check, that targeted rates and fixed charges are utilised to fund specific activities instead.
We are pleased to see that Central Hawke's Bay already makes good use of targeted rates for
activities such as water and wastewater supply, refuse and recycling, where beneficiaries are clearly
identified.
29. Activities like district planning, or parks and reserves will be appropriate to shift to a fixed rate
funding mechanism. All ratepayers receive the same benefits from the district plan providing
sustainable environment management. All ratepayers have the same opportunity to visit parks and
reserves, however a farmer with a high value property does not have more access to a park than a
ratepayer from a small residential property. This means that ratepayers should be contributing an
equal amount when they receive equal benefit. A targeted fixed rate would reflect this.
30. Another method of reducing the discrepancy between ratepayers is to employ differentials to the
general rate. Many councils around the country use differentials to ensure that ratepayers with high
value properties are not paying disproportionately high rates.
Differential rating
31. Federated Farmers is strongly in support of rural differentials. Federated Farmers supports
differentials as a constructive means to achieve both transparency and equity in a funding system
limited to rates and charges on property. Differentials are widely used around New Zealand to
offset the impact of valuation based rating, including New Plymouth, Hastings and Palmerston
North District Councils.
32. Where Council is concerned that the effects of introducing differentials would be regressive and
impact upon lower capital value properties, Federated Farmers submits that the rates remissions
scheme, alongside the broader central government welfare system, remain the most robust and
efficient methods of income redistribution, with the ability to target each concern on a case by case
basis in a way that is not possible using the blunt property value basis afforded by rates. Council is
not in a position to assess who is most able to afford its rates. Central government via tax and
welfare policies retains all responsibility for income redistribution; this is not a role for councils.
33. Federated Farmers therefore recommends that I) a boxed differential system is introduced to the
general rate to moderate the major discrepancies between ratepayers, and 2) where ratepayers
: * . : .* .,\,~ I * r, ,;.! , 3;.;I:*\ ;* \!, I\ ;,: t .I I-- _, I'. ,: :':-; -. ;, it, ;;, I Pia * ri; . , - 'ot I
.
., \.,
receive the same level of service from an activity, that funding is shifted from the general rate to a
fixed charge to reflect the equal benefit received.
Targeted rates
34. Targeted rates are an appropriate mechanism to fund activities that provide a direct benefit to
certain communities. Federated Farmers congratulates the Council for the good use of targeted
rates and funding these services on a user-pays basis.
35. Federated Farmers supports the use of targeted rates to fund kerbside recycling and refuse
collection activities paid by ratepayers where these services are provided. Also supported is the
excellent use of rates targeted at properties that are connected to or serviceable by reticulated
water and sewerage. Farmers that do not receive these services should not be expected to pay for
them.
36. Federated Farmers is also pleased to see that Economic Development is partially funded by a fixed
targeted rate on non-residential and non-rural properties. We do not consider the rating of farms
to be appropriate when the activity provides a direct benefit to a different industry - tourism.
Although this targeted rate only partially funds economic development, we consider that this rate
targeted at commercial/industrial properties is a good step in the right direction. We encourage the
Council to consider extended this targeted rate to reduce reliance on the general rate as a funding
source.
37. Federated Farmers therefore recommends that targeted rates continue to be used to fund
kerbside collection, water supply and sewerage activities, and that the targeted rate for Economic
Development is extended to reduce reliance on the general rate as a funding source.
Uniform Annual Charge
38. The Uniform Annual Charge which is applied District-wide is struck at $323.66 for 2016 -17. We
note that this has increased from $317.31 for 201.5-1.6. We ask if this increase is because more
activities are now being funded by the UAGC to reduce reliance on the general rate, or if this is
attributable to overall increases to the costs of running the activities.
39. As with our submission last Year, Federated Farmers considers that many activities being funded by
the general rate would be more appropriate Iy funded by the UAGC. This allows all ratepayers to
contribute equally to activities that they receive an equal benefit from. Activities like District
Planning provide the same benefit to all ratepayers regardless of the value of their property, so
property-value rates should not be used as a funding source.
40. Federated Farmers recommends that Council make full use of the Uniform Annual Charge and
raises this to the legislative maximum of 30% of the total rates income, and also that funding is
shifted away from the capital value general rate to the Uniform Annual Charge for Community
and Leadership activities, Planning and Regulatory activities and Recreation and Community
Facilities in recognition that ratepayers all receive equal benefit.
District Land Transport Rate
41. The roading rate has been proposed at 0272 cents in the dollar. While this is consistent with the
rate value in 201.2, it is a dramatic reduction from the previous Year, where it was charged at 0,307
cents per dollar.
42. There is an enormous discrepancy between what farmers pay and what other ratepayers contribute
to roading, for example a Takapau member farmer will pay 1,034 times more than the commercial
ratepayer, and an extraordinary 2,403 times more than the Waipukurau residential ratepayer. It is
important to remember that owning a million-dollar farm property does not mean that the farmer

has a million dollars available in their bank account. The property is their home and their means of
earning an honest living.
3.0 SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES
Ruataniwha Water Storage Scheme (RWSS)
43. In our submission to the Long Term Plan, Federated Farmers confirmed our supports for the
RWSS. We believe that this will be a great asset to the region, and provide benefits to direct users
of the scheme, as well as the wider community. We support the comments in the plan with regard
to the likely outcomes of the scheme, including the predicted increase of 4% in GDP and the
potential to create 2250 jobs through increased farming activity and its flow on impacts. We also
believe that it will provide environmental benefits, including to the Tukituki River summer flows,
ultimately delivering improved river health and an improved habitat.
44. We continue to support Council interest in the possibility of taking water from the scheme as part
of the long term strategy around water supply for the community, an option currently being
progressed with the Hawkes Bay Regional Investment Company. Federated Farmers welcomes
further information on this opportunity as it becomes available.
Roading
45. Roading provides vital connections for those living in rural communities, and is an integral
component of New Zealand's economic productivity. An operational road network enables primary
producers to efficiently move inputs and outputs, allows farm servicing agencies to access their
customers, and allows farmers to access population hubs for goods and services.
46. Not only is roading of great importance to our members, but it also comprises a large part of the
costs which our members pay through rates every Year. The contributions our members make to
the maintenance and development of the region's roading is a significant portion of their yearly
costs, given the reliance on land value to provide the necessary capital. This reliance means that
farm properties with high values will be contributing a disproportionate amount compared to a
residential property. Given the amount of capital that rural rate payers provide, we would like
Council to ensure that rural roads are maintained and upgraded appropriate Iy.
47. The Long Term Plan consultation document mentioned that there was still403km of unsealed
roads. As these roads are rural roads, Federated Farmers encourages Council to direct funding to
these roads to ensure that those who are contributing substantially to the budget for roading, are
benefiting directly. We would like Council to set targets to decrease the number of unsealed
roads, to ensure that those in the rural zone have the necessary infrastructure to support them,
socially and economicalIy.
48. In addition, recently Federated Farmers submitted a letter of support for Black Road residents
requesting that Council seal their road due to dust issues. We reiterate in our submission to the
draft AP, that this roading asset is given priority.
49. Federated Farmers also notes the comments with regard to the classification of roads as a result of
the 'One Network Road Classification' (ONRC) which Council will transition to in the next three
Years' We see that Council have developed the LTP without consideration of the impact of the
ONRC and further, that once the 'Vinpocts ore known there will be consultotion with the public on
whether the chorges to the levels of service ore occeptoble". Federated Farmers appreciates Council
stating the importance of consulting with the community in the future on this issue, because as
stated earlier, the roading infrastructure is of great significance to rural land owners.

Water supply, Wastewater and Storm water
50. In our submission to the Long Term Plan, we noted that over the next 30 Years, Council will
undertake projects in order to maintain the existing water supply assets, and in addition upgrade
the systems for Waipukurau and Waipawa to meet the New Zealand Drinking Water Standards.
51. In addition, we understood that development would focus on six public sewage collection and
treatment systems across the Council region. We note that resource consents for two sites (Otane
and Takapau) will be required in the next three (now two) Years, and that at the time, Council were
not in a POSiton to know what developments were required. This also included consideration of
new treatment facilities to be installed at two sites (Porengahau and Te Paerahi) in addition to the
ongoing renewal of the other sites across the district.
52. The Draft AP provides an update on these developments, specifically the proposal to build an
ariaerobic pond at the Waipukurau Wastewater ponds. The ariaerobic pond has been costed at
$300,000, compareble to $2 million if a second oxidation pond was built. Federated Farmers
support Council in its proposal to progress with the ariaerobic pond given the cost savings as well
as the potential environmental benefits.
53. Federated Farmers also supports the approach Council will take to recover the capital for the
upgrade projects relating to water supply, wastewater and storm water. We note that Council are
expecting to fund these projects via a loan repaid by targeted rates. Federated Farmers believes
that Targeted Rates, are a useful means of funding activities to ratepayers in identifiable locations.
Use of a Targeted Rate to those who will benefit from the residential and industrial developments
will ensure that those people who receive the service/utilise the activity, are proportionality costrecovered for the services they are receiving.
Federated Farmers is a not-for-profit primary sector policy and advocacy organisation that represents
the majority of farming businesses in New Zealand. Federated Farmers has a long and proud history of
representing the interests of New Zealand's farmers,
The Federation aims to add value to its members' farming businesses. Our key strategic outcomes
include the need for New Zealand to provide an economic and social environment within which:
e
Our members may operate their business in a fair and flexible commercial environment;
.
Our members' families and their staff have access to services essential to the needs of the rural
community; and
.
Our members adopt responsible management and environmental practices.
This submission is representative of member views and reflect the fact that local government rating and
spending policies impact on our member's daily lives as farmers and members of local communities.
Hawke's Bay Federated Farmers thanks the Central Hawke's Bay District Council for

Submission on 2016-17 Annual Plan
Subject:
I would like to comment on the Local Government Funding Agency and the Waipukurau Waste Water Proposal.
Local Government Funding Agency
I support the CHBDCjoining the LGFA but You haven't provided sufficient information for rate payers to determine
whether joining as a guaranteeing or non guaranteeing local authority is the best option.
Your preferred option is based on avoiding what You acknowledge is a low financial risk but You have provided no
information ( such as the interest rate differential the two membership options might incur or the modelled
financial benefits of both options) about the financial benefits arising from each option.
The LGFA has a AA+ credit rating. The Government has the same credit rating. The likelihood of financial default and
the associated calling in of the guarantees is very low. This very low level of risk suggests that the choice of option
would be better determined on the basis of the benefits of each option rather than a risk of failure that is most
unlikely to occur.
Waipukurau Waste Water Proposal
I don't support the proposal to build an Ariaerobic Pond
The discussion of this proposal in the Consultation Document in my view doesn't meet Your obligations under Part 6
of the Local Government Act.
There is no discussion of an option to do nothing, nor the consequences of such an option. There is no mention of
the the HBRC consent to discharge waste water and whether this has any bearing on the need to reduce the
amounts of nitrates in the discharge. Nor is there any discussion of why rate payers should fund a facility to facilitate
greater levels of waste water from industry (which the document suggests is one of the reasons for the proposal).
Here is what You wrote in the LTP PIT3 on the subject of greater levels of waste water from industry. " Industrial
waste water flows have been assumed to have no significant increase although any departure from this assumption
would be expected to be largely funded by Development Contributions under the Council's Development
Contribution Policy". This strongly suggests that the user should fund any future enlargement of the waste water
facility.
And finally, the Mayor has denied on many occasions that there is anything fundamentally wrong with the new
waste water treatment facility, most recently stating that the nitrate issue had been resolved to the satisfaction of
the HBRC. Given the second paragraph in the proposal, which suggests there is still a nitrates issue, a somewhat fully
discussion of the adequacies of the new facility is surely called for.

I&'04/2016 Aerobic vs. Ariaerobic Treatment in Wastewater Systems: Part 2 - EBS - Wastewater Training and Consulting EBS -Wastewater Trairtng arxi Co
Ariaeiobic treatn, .Grit is a process where wastewatei. or material is broken down by microoroanisins
witho11t the aid of dissolved oxygen. However, ariaerobic bacteria can and will use oxygen that is
found in the oxides introduced into tlie system or they call obtain it from organic material within the
wastewater. Ariaerobic systems are used in niany industrial systems including food prodtiction and
municipal sewage treatineiIt systems.
Ariacrobic digestion is commonly LISed to treat sludges in tile first areas of a wastewater treatment
plant. This process is popular because it is able to stabilize the water witli little biomass production.
Ariaerobic treatment occurs in many different stages. The key nTicrooroanisms are methane fomiers
and acid fomiers. The acid fonners are microorganisms that create various acids from the sludge.
Methane fonners convert the acids into ritethane.
Tile two main ariaerobic systems are batch systems and continuous systems. In a batch system, the
biomass is added into a reactor that is sealed foi. the rest of the digestion process. This is the SIInplest
fomn of ariaerobic treatment but call have odor issues associated with it. As the most simple, it is also
one of the least expensive ways to achieve treaiment.
A continuous system 11as organic matter constantly added to the treatment system. Since it is
continuously being fed, there is a need for' the byproduct to continuously be Teijioved. The byproduct
call result in a constant source of biogas, which call be used as an alternative source for energy. This
systenT is usually more expensive to operate because of the need for constant nionitoring and
nTaiipower.
Biogas is produced as the bacteria feed off tlie biodegradable material in the allaerobic process. TITe
majority of tlie biogas produced is methane and carbon dioxide. These gases calT be stored and used
for' energy production. The Inetliane in the biogas can be burned to produce heat and electricity. The
heat and electricity call be used to aid the process of the ariaerobic system by providino power and
heat for the digestion to occur.
Biogas can also be used as alternative source for fuel. This has received a lot of attention due to tlie
ever-rising cost of burning fossil filels. To prodtice fuel, the biooas Innst be treated to reduce or
eliininate hydrogen sulfide. The treatment may become expensive but is necessary because the EPA
has strict limits on the amount of hydrooen sulfide released into the atInOSphere.
Whether it is aerobic or ariaerobic treatinent, eacli treatiT}Grit system has its place in the world today.
They are very different in the process but both are used to achieve maximum degradation, while
meeting the strict regulations set by the environmental agencies that regulate what is released into the
air, ground, or water.
