2 Ngā Whakapāha Me Ngā Pānga Mema / Apologies and Declarations of Interest
Members need to stand aside from decision-making when a conflict arises between their role as a Member of the Council and any private or other external interest they might have. This note is provided as a reminder to Members to review the matters on the agenda and assess and identify where they may have a pecuniary or other conflict of interest, or where there may be a perception of a conflict of interest.
If a Member feels they do have a conflict of interest, they should publicly declare that at the start of the meeting or of the relevant item of business and refrain from participating in the discussion or voting on that item. If a Member thinks they may have a conflict of interest, they can seek advice from the Chief Executive Officer or the Manager - Democracy Services (preferably before the meeting).
It is noted that while members can seek advice the final decision as to whether a conflict exists rests with the member.
3 Ngā Tono Kōrero / Deputations

1) te TĀhuhu kŌrero / Background
The Local Government Act 2002 requires that Council adopt a new Long Term Plan every three years. Over the last year Council has progressed the development of the new plan for the years 2024-27 through a number of Council workshops. Formal consultation occurred during March-April this year.
2) Te matapaki me NgĀ KŌwhiringa / Discussion and Options
506 submissions were received, and 35 submitters presented to Council hearings.
Submissions received that raised specific issues to which Council would normally respond as part of business as usual, these have been referred on to the department.
The attached report Far North District Council Long Term Plan 2024-27 Analysis (attachment 2) summarises the submissions by theme and overall comments.
Following deliberations, the Long Term Plan will be finalised to include any amendments in preparation for Council adoption at the Council meeting scheduled for 26 June 2024.
Corrections and updates
Of the submissions received, 114 related specifically to rates and associated financial concerns. The majority of feedback highlighted the unaffordability of the proposed 16.5% increase, particularly given the cost of living crisis in New Zealand and significant financial challenges faced by the Far North community.
In response, options have been thoroughly investigated to address financial challenges faced by ratepayers without sacrificing current service levels or materially impacting debt levels. This investigation identified three key areas, for consideration, that may assist to reduce the proposed 16.5% rate increase. These are:
1. Cost Savings: A detailed review of internal budgets has been conducted. Cost savings would be achieved if unfilled vacancies are removed, reliance on external service providers is reduced, certain projects are deferred, and community outreach initiatives are streamlined.
2. Re-evaluation of Income Sources: Revenue sources have been re-evaluated as well as structure and pricing of income-generating services, some of which are currently subsidised by rates.
3. Special Dividend from FNHL: Through engagement with council-controlled organisation, Far North Holdings Limited (FNHL), there has been a request for a special dividend to be paid. A business case has been discussed with FNHL, which included necessary capital structuring. FNDC is confident that the dividend would be received in the 2024/25 year.
Council staff have acknowledged that an increase may be required, and will be considered as part of the 2025/2026 Annual process, for emergency works.
There is an opportunity for Council to opt into The Future of Severe Affected Land (FOSAL) programme, there is requirement for further budget to accommodate this (table 1) below. Further detail included in attachment 4.
Table 1: Future of Severe Affected Land (FOSAL) programme
TE TAKE TŪTOHUNGA / REASON FOR THE RECOMMENDATION
All submissions have been collated and analysed. To facilitate Council decision making staff have analysed feedback and have categorised into respective topics by group and or activity for Council to debate and, if desired, amend.
Decisions made at this meeting will be incorporated into the final Long Term Plan 2024-27.
3) NgĀ PĀnga PŪtea me ngĀ wĀhanga tahua / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision
The decisions made at this meeting determine the financial implications and rates for the period 2024-27.
