6.2 Matauri Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant

File Number: A5071888

Author: Losaline Finekifolau, Development Engineer

Authoriser: Tanya Proctor, Head of Infrastructure

TAKE PŪRONGO / Purpose of the Report

To provide a progress update on the commissioning of the Matauri Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant.

WHAKARĀPOPOTO MATUA / Executive SummarY

· Cavalli Properties, as the owners of the development previously known as Matauri X, created a reticulated wastewater network complete with a treatment plant and Discharge to Land Consent.

· A 2009 agreement between FNDC, Matauri Bay Properties Ltd and Matauri X Incorporation saw the wastewater system transferred to FNDC for a nominal value.

· In 2022, Council resolved Cavalli Properties commission the plant and agreed that Council will consult with the relevant entities to transfer the wastewater system from Cavalli Properties to Council.

· The report outlines key stages required to commission the plant.

TŪTOHUNGA / Recommendation

That Te Koukou - Transport and Infrastructure Committee receive the report Matauri Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant.

tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background

1. In 2022, Council resolved to permit Cavalli to commission the plant and agreed to consult with the relevant entities to transfer the operating of the wastewater system from Cavalli to Council from 1 July 2024. This decision was based on the expectation that wastewater services would transfer from Council to a new Water Services Entity on 30 June 2024.

2. Following the grant of a resource consent, Cavalli have transferred the ownership of the consent to discharge to FNDC enabling Council to legally operate, maintain and discharge treated wastewater to land at Matauri Bay.

3. As part of the transfer process, Cavalli Properties has carried out maintenance and repair work on the plant totalling to $64,360.11 (2 May 2024), which they have been reimbursed for. The 2022 report to Council noted that:

Cavalli are prepared to consider funding the cost to commission and to operate the scheme for its first year. It is therefore expected that commissioning and operating the system will not impact ratepayers. Council efforts to negotiate the future of the scheme will be funded out of current budgets.

4. A wastewater Area of Benefit (AOB) for the Matauri Bay area has been established and needs to be formalised. The AOB is based on the current capacity of the plant, to initially include the 139-lot subdivision (Cavalli Properties), the 15-lot subdivision (Cavalli Coastal Villas Limited), and the public toilets. Any further connections to the system beyond these areas will require further assessment.

5. Despite there being no properties currently connected to the wastewater scheme, resource consent applications are being received for connection to the system. For these developments, wastewater lines to connect to the plant are being installed while an onsite wastewater system is to service the site’s wastewater disposal in the meantime. Once the plant is ready to connect to, property owners are able to connect to the Council’s reticulated system.

MATAPAKI ME NGĀ KŌWHIRINGA / Discussion and Next Steps

· There are outstanding capital works (fencing, shed repairs and signage) to be completed to meet all resource consent conditions. These costs are yet to be established.

· An official handover including an operation and maintenance plan from the installer S3 to Far North Waters will be required, however Far North Waters will engage S3 to operate the plant.

· To formalise the Area of Benefit a statutory process requiring consultation must be followed.

· An AOB is required prior to establishing a rate and for Council to approve applications for connections.

· A project timeline of tasks associated with the operationalisation of this plant and required engagement for rating purposes was not available at the deadline for this reporting period and will be supplied to the following Te Koukou meeting.

PĀNGA PŪTEA ME NGĀ WĀHANGA TAHUA / Financial Implications and Budgetary Provision

The LTP 2024-27 has no budgetary provision for operational, maintenance or capital costs nor does it include any rating income.

6.3 Infrastructure Abatement Notices

File Number: A5089202

Author: Doug Astill, Compliance Officer - Infrastructure Services

Authoriser: Mary Moore, Manager - Infrastructure Services

TAKE PŪRONGO / Purpose of the Report

This report gives information on work on compliance and cancellation of abatement notices received from Northland Regional Council.

WHAKARĀPOPOTO MATUA / Executive SummarY

· Responding to non-compliance and abatement notices to prevent further enforcement action is a

top priority for Council.

· One abatement notice was received in January 2025.

· The total number of outstanding notices is nine.

· The risk of enforcement action is reported to Te Miromiro Committee.

TŪTOHUNGA / Recommendation

That Te Koukou - Transport and Infrastructure Committee receive the report Infrastructure Abatement Notices.

tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background

Council has many resource consents, and follows the Resource Management Act 1991, for the operation of Water, Wastewater, Stormwater and District Facilities infrastructure.

District Facilities infrastructure includes maritime and airports, solid waste (landfills), and onsite wastewater for public toilets, sports facilities, and campgrounds.

Responding to non-compliance and abatement notices to prevent further enforcement action is a top priority for Council.

What are these abatement notices?

Northland Regional Council is the Regulator under the Resource Management Act 1991 (the RMA). Any activity that doesn’t follow the RMA, (any Regulations, a Rule in a plan or a resource consent) might require them to issue an Abatement Notice s322(1)(a)(i).

An abatement notice does not include a fine. If the non-compliance detailed in the abatement notice does not stop further enforcement action, such as a fine or prosecution, may be taken.

Other reports on this topic:

Another information report that shows the compliance status of all infrastructure consents since the last Te Koukou Committee meeting is included in this meeting’s agenda – Infrastructure Consent Compliance Status.

Compliance status of consents and abatement notices status will be combined into a single report: Infrastructure Compliance for the April 2025 Te Miromiro Committee meeting.

The Infrastructure Abatement Notices report presented to Te Koukou Committee in February 2025 reported on 11 abatement notices outstanding.

This update includes all abatement notice activity for January 2025.

The total number of outstanding abatement notices is nine. They are summarised in Table 1.

6.4 Infrastructure Consent Compliance Status

File Number: A5089208

Author: Doug Astill, Compliance Officer - Infrastructure Services

Authoriser: Mary Moore, Manager - Infrastructure Services

TAKE PŪRONGO / Purpose of the Report

The purpose of this information report is to report the compliance status achieved of all infrastructure consents granted by Northland Regional Council since the last Te Koukou Committee meeting.

WHAKARĀPOPOTO MATUA / Executive SummarY

· Council has many resource consents, and follows the Resource Management Act 1991, for the operation of water, wastewater, stormwater and district facility assets.

· Compliance is measured across all consent conditions, including reporting. Failure to submit a report on time can therefore result in a non-compliant status.

· Water and wastewater consent condition compliance is reported to Northland Regional Council monthly, while stormwater is reported annually.

· As of February 2025, all of Council’s eight water treatment plants were fully compliant, while four of Council’s 15 wastewater treatment plants were fully compliant.

· A total of nine abatement notices were outstanding at 31 January 2025, these are detailed in a separate information report, Infrastructure Abatement Notices, on this meeting agenda.

· District Facilities related consent conditions (maritime/airports, sports facilities, public toilets, landfills, campgrounds) are also reported on by the Infrastructure Group.

TŪTOHUNGA / Recommendation

That Te Koukou - Transport and Infrastructure Committee receive the report Infrastructure Consent Compliance Status.

tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background

Council has many resource consents, and follows the Resource Management Act 1991, for the operation of Water, Wastewater, Stormwater and District Facilities infrastructure. District Facilities’ infrastructure includes maritime and airports, solid waste (landfills), and onsite wastewater for public toilets, sports facilities, and campgrounds.

Compliance reporting to Northland Regional Council of water and wastewater consent conditions is monthly (15^th) via email, while stormwater discharges are reported annually each July. Reporting of all other consent conditions is ‘as required’ by the consent.

Compliance is measured across all consent conditions, including reporting, for which failure to submit a report on time can be the single cause of non-compliance.

The Compliance Status report provided to the February 2025 Te Koukou Committee meeting included results for the September - December 2024 period. This report includes the results of January 2025.

MATAPAKI ME NGĀ KŌWHIRINGA / Discussion and Next Steps

An update responding to the February 2025 Committee meeting request for information is tabled below.

October 2024 Te Koukou meeting request	Status
Followed up with the operations and maintenance team to understand why information was not provided in the dot report (Table 1) as shown with the question mark symbol.	Data reporting error in telemetry system. Confirmed with operator this has been addressed. Compliance Officer to implement data point exceedance notifications from reporting platform.
Provide regular reports on yellow and red dots highlighted in Table 1 to understand the issue and approaches moving forward to mitigate the issue.	A workshop presentation is being prepared for presentation to Te Koukou Committee meeting workshops commencing March 2025.
Provide a list of non-compliances for water takes and wastewater treatment plants to understand what non-compliances are administrative and what are quality related.	Table 2: Compliance status for water takes and wastewater discharges for January 2025 .

Analysis of consents and consent conditions

CSVue is a nationwide software system Council uses to hold consent details. A review of Waters consents and consent condition data has highlighted some discrepancies in the data setup. These discrepancies may result in CSVue reporting incorrect consent condition compliance. The following steps are being taken to mitigate this risk:

· Validate the status with of all waters consents with Northland Regional Council

· Validate and update the data in CSVue for all consents and consent conditions

· Audit all non-waters consents and conditions.

This programme of work is expected to be completed by May 2025.

Compliance status for all waters consents to 31 January 2025

Table 1 below is a rolling 12-month dot report which indicates the compliance status of water quality and flow for Council’s water takes and wastewater treatment plants.

Table 1: Compliance status for water quality and flow

Key:

●	Non-compliant and has an abatement notice in place
●	Non-compliant but not subject to an abatement notice or enforcement action
●	Complied with water quality and flow data requirements for the month There may still be administrative non-compliances that are not reported on at a monthly level
	Compliance not reported due to no data being provided

Authoriser: Tanya Proctor, Head of Infrastructure

TAKE PŪRONGO / Purpose of the Report

Provide an update to elected members on the status of the 2024-2027 Transportation Capital Works and Renewals Programme.

WHAKARĀPOPOTO MATUA / Executive SummarY

The Transport Capital Works & Renewals Programme Report for the month ending February 2025 includes the following key progress:

· The Transport Capital Programme of new works for Year 1 of LTP 24/27, including carry forward work from FY 24 is forecast at approximately $19 million. Approximately 70% of this work is made up of the emergency works slip repair programme.

· West Coast Rd Motuti, West Coast Rd Panguru and Ngāpipito Rd slips are under construction.

· Reseal and rehabilitation works underway with all preseal repairs completed.

· Bridge resilience design underway

TŪTOHUNGA / Recommendation

That Te Koukou - Transport and Infrastructure Committee receive the report Transport Capital Works Programme Update.

tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background

The Transport Capital Works and Renewals Team is responsible for delivery of the following programmes of work:

· Bridge Resilience

· Structural Component replacement

· Footpath (new works)

· Resilience programme

· Emergency Works/Slip Repair

MATAPAKI ME NGĀ KŌWHIRINGA / Discussion and Next Steps

Funding

Council received funding confirmation for the new LTP from NZTA in the month of September. The funding is significantly less than applied for under the Low Cost Low Risk programme (local roads Capital Works fund) and as a result of the majority of the capital projects identified in the LTP for construction are no longer funded. Councils Asset Manager is ensuring council maximises its subsidy for funded projects by ensuring local share supports the slip programme as a priority.

This report reflects a tentative capital works programme until Council determine priorities and allocates local share.

Footpath Programme (Unsubsidised)

No new footpaths were funded by NZTA under the low cost low risk funding category. The Capital team work in FY 25 has consisted of the carry forward projects from FY 24. There is a potential programme of unsubsidised footpath projects for the respective wards, however this will be decided by Council resolution. We are currently closing out the contracts for the last two footpath projects:

· SH 11 Haruru (BOI Whangaroa Ward)

· Parnell Street (Kaikohe-Hokianga Ward)

Reseal & Rehabilitation Programme (Year 1)

The reseal programme is indicatively ~$5.8M per year & the rehabilitation programme is indicatively ~$4.9M per year for each year of this 2024-2027 LTP. ~$2M Preseal repairs are also to be delivered for to support year 1’s reseal programme.

Preseal repairs have been completed in both the north and south areas and resurfacing works are progressing throughout the paving season.

Enabling works for the rehabilitation programme have begun and final site extents programmed based on budget and surrounding works such as the presence of slips. The planned rehab sites still to be completed this season are shown below:

TŪTOHUNGA / Recommendation

That the Te Koukou - Transport and Infrastructure Committee receive the report Capital Works Programme Delivery Update.

tĀHUHU KŌRERO / Background

The Long-Term Plan 2024/2027 is an ‘LTP Lite’. For a project to be included in the LTP Lite it must have met one or more of the following criteria: Roading, Storm Recovery, or Compliance.

The Capital Works Programme being delivered in FY25 include Year 1 of the LTP Lite plus those still in delivery at 30 June 2024 (FY24 Carry Forwards).

Projects being delivered across financial years, either from the LTP Lite or FY24 Carry Forwards, are known as multi-year projects. Multi-year projects include:

· LTP Lite 18 projects

· FY24 Carry Forward 12 projects

The impact of a multi-year project is that a rating impact (interest and depreciation charges) is not triggered until the financial year after the physical works have been completed.
