CHAIRMAN’S REPORT - CHRIS HAWKES

Kia ora Koutou Katoa The financial challenges that I foretold in the 2023 report have become a reality over the past year, with perhaps wider and deeper implications across all levels of New Zealand’s economy than first anticipated. The Sanctuary is certainly not immune to the downturn in the New Zealand economy and is experiencing its own financial challenges and hardship.

As a Trust Board and Senior Management Team we have been diligent with our forward planning focussing on a number of key initiatives that will see the Sanctuary responding to the financial environment in this difficult period. While this annual report shows a financial loss of around ~$383k (after depreciation) for the year ending 30 June 2024, Trustees and Senior Management maintain a positive outlook and optimism for the ensuing year.

Working in the Sanctuary’s favour: •

The enthusiasm, calibre, attitude, and skills and ‘will do’ of the hundreds of Sanctuary volunteers who contribute many thousands of hours to the Sanctuary

•

Improving revenue through increasing visitor numbers along with growth in membership numbers

•

Visitors to the Sanctuary in the financial year (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024) grew to a record number of 27,668 inclusive of (1,279) students, teachers and parents/caregivers participating in organised education visits to the Sanctuary, we are confident that this growth in visitor numbers will continue in the coming year and beyond.

Revenues from admission fees, donations, merchandise and other sales from visitors through the visitor centre increased to $140,000 (compared with $100k last year). The supporter/ membership base finished at 2,007, an increase of ~480 on the previous year.

In the financial year ending June 2024, 74% of the visitors to the Sanctuary were locals from the Nelson/Tasman region, 26% were from outside the region, evenly split between visitors from other parts of New Zealand and international visitors.

Although not advised until July the following result was for the past year’s effort and a recognition from Tripadvisor as a Travellers’ Choice Award 2024 winner. The award places the Sanctuary in the top 10% worldwide as a place to visit and on TripAdvisor member feedback. Congratulations all a rewarding effort recognising the cross-Sanctuary effort by supporters, volunteers and staff alike.

Discussions are nearing completion on future introductions of tuatara, kiwi pukupuku (little spotted kiwi), possibly kākā. These future

CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT - RU COLLIN

In keeping with the format of previous years, this report highlights key achievements for the financial year to 30 June 2024, and reports against the four ‘capitals’ social, environmental, cultural, and financial that the Trust has used as our measures in previous years. The highlights of the year include the Sanctuary maintaining its pest-free status and growing visitor numbers.

During the year ending 30 June 2024, the Sanctuary has worked through a long list of activities and has achieved a great deal. Our achievements are too numerous to all be noted in this report, highlights that stand out include: •

the Sanctuary retained its pest-free status throughout the year

•

the mouse exclosure project began in the winter of 2023; a small area of 3.7ha was fenced off within the Sanctuary pest-fenced boundary. The area was cleared of mice and confirmed as mouse-free from February 2024

•

Further development of plans involving the translocation of iconic species including kākā, tuatara and kiwi pukupuku

•

The success of the visitor centre transformation and positive feedback received from visitors

•

The (planned for October 2024) continuation of Sculpt Nature - a land art competition that links us closer to the Nelson arts and culture sector. We have received 39 artist applications to be part of Sculpt Nature in 2024

•

Two successful Open Day events that attracted over 3,400 people to visit and enjoy the Sanctuary

•

Becoming an allied partner of the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance - a collaboration between te Tauihu (top of the south region) iwi, councils and the Department of Conservation.

Along with the notable achievements mentioned above, the Sanctuary team of Trustees, paid staff and volunteers have diligently monitored for mammalian pests and responded to pest incursions, fence breaches, repaired and/or constructed new Sanctuary assets such as the mouse-exclosure fence, and our walking track network. We’ve made numerous improvements to our systems and processes and have continued to better resource our teams with the tools and skills they need to do their allotted tasks.

Other pleasing results to note are the growth of our (total visitor centre) sales at nearly $195,000
