The Highlights
Set out below is the Infrastructure Strategy at a glance. It’s a high level overview of the key matters set out in more detail in the following pages. Challenges faced by the Council: • Drinking water security, treatment, availability & legislation; • Ageing roading and water infrastructure; • Modest levels of forecast population and economic growth; in addition to known shortages in certain parts of the housing sector; • An aging population that may place different demands particularly on roading infrastructure and park space; • Technology change in the transport sector, and increased loads on network due particularly to forestry harvesting; • Predicted effects of climate change – particularly severity of rainfall events and impacts near our coastline; • Increasing environmental standards, particularly in relation to wastewater and stormwater quality; regulatory reform and service delivery changes; • Earthquake prone building legislation

Financial sustainability: • The timing of forecast peaks in asset renewal is different for different assets enabling Council to manage annual expenditure levels. A step change in transportation renewals is built into the first 6 years budget forecasts; • Growth infrastructure is phased in accordance with growth projections (and development is staged) to limit the risk of Council investment; • Council will need to give careful consideration to the impact of new build and discretionary projects to ensure ongoing financial sustainability Over the next 30 years the Council plans to: • Complete its significant Investment in safe drinking water; • Undertake critical renewals at the Wastewater Treatment Plant; • Maintain existing levels of service while managing the identified challenges; • Complete the key bridge strengthening programme & escalate road renewals; • Service land for development; and work with partners on housing opportunities; • Step up renewal funding to address forecast peaks; • Undertake local coastal cell planning in accordance with the Regional Coastal Strategy. The most likely scenario for key infrastructure responses is set out below:
