PART I: OUR PLAN FOR 2014/2015
Note: The sum of the capital investment projects included in this plan is about $167 million more than the total capital expenditure projectedin our nancial statements.

THE DRAFT ANNUAL PLAN 2014/2015 VOLUME 1
PAYING FOR THIS INVESTMENTThe $550 million it will cost during 2014/2015to restore and replace existing assets (such astransport, water, wastewater and stormwater
assets) is primarily paid for by rates.
The $1.25 billion investment in new assets isprimarily paid for by borrowing, so that we can
spread this cost over time. We consider this to bethe fairest and most appropriate approach becausethese assets will provide benets for people over
a long period of time. Without the ability to use
debt in this way, the council would have to choosebetween signicantly higher rates or a signicantreduction in new assets and services.
To ensure that we are using debt wisely, we monitor
our borrowing levels relative to our income andthe value of our assets. By June 2015 the value ofcouncil assets will grow to $40.4 billion and debtwill increase to $7.4 billion.
Further information on the council’s approach to nancial management is included in the nancial overviewin Part III.
Asset movement 2014/2015 $billion
Opening assets 38.5
Investment in new assets 1.2
Revaluation and othermovements
0.7
Closing assets 40.4
Ensuring that higher interestbills in the future areaffordable for ratepayers
We prepare audited ten-year financial plans that demonstrate that our debtlevels can be managed without the need for unsustainable increases in rates oruser charges.We have also set prudential debt limits and we ensure that debt levels remainwithin those limits over a ten-year period.
Protecting ourselves fromrising interest rates
In a similar way to how you might fix your mortgage, we protect the councilfrom rises in interest rates by using fixed interest rates and interest rate hedginginstruments. To a large extent, this locks in council’s future borrowing cost.
Ensuring that we are nottoo dependent on nancialmarkets
We ensure that we always have sufficient cash, liquid investments and committedlines of credit available to allow us to pay our bills for at least six months.We make sure that we borrow from a range of domestic and international lenders sothat a problem with any one source of borrowings does not have too large an impact.
Debt movement 2014/2015 $billion
Opening net debt 6.5
New borrowing requirement 0.9
Closing net debt 7.4
Some of the key things we do to ensure that our use of debt remains prudent and sustainable include:

PAYING FOR THESE SERVICES
Rates provide approximately 43 per cent of thecouncil’s operating revenue with the rest comingfrom grants, subsidies, development and nancial
contributions, user charges and fees.We set rates at the level required to balance ourbudgets after:
1. maximising efciency savings
2. ensuring we recover a fair and appropriateamount of our costs through user charges.
YOUR RATES
The council’s large investment programmemeans that asset related costs such as interest,
maintenance and depreciation are rising fasterthan the rate of ination. We are also incurringnew costs due to new alcohol control legislation,bylaw consolidation and the need to acceleratethe pace of construction of new homes. However,we have been able to nd enough efciencysavings within council to cope with these risingcosts with only a 2.4 per cent average ratesincrease for 2014/2015.
Notes:1 Water supply and sewerage activities are funded through water charges rather than rates.2 The commercial and investment activities generate commercial revenue and return on investments that offset the overall rates requirement. The rates revenue for this

RENTAL CHARGES FOR SOCIAL HOUSING
Rental charges and the level of services forsocial housing for older people vary across theregion due to the different policies of the formercouncils. For the 2014/2015 year, rental chargesare proposed to increase by a uniform ve percent. This increase is more than the councilrate of ination, due to the fact that rents have
not been adjusted for at least three years, andin some cases, six years. For most tenants, theincrease (after government assistance is factoredin) would be no more than $4 a week. Differenceswith service levels will be addressed as part of theLTP 2015-2025, in consultation with tenants andAuckland Council’s Seniors Panel.

The Auckland Plan is the council’s strategy tomake Auckland an even better place than it isnow, and create the world’s most liveable city.It describes the kind of place Aucklanders havetold us they want, and outlines what is needed
to achieve this. We are implementing this vision year-by-year by providing services and facilities
that will enable us to reach our desired outcomes.
These activities have shaped the development of
this draft annual plan and have been reected inthe themes, activities and budgets of the council’sprojects. Work is continuing to ensure strongeralignments in future annual and long-term plans.
Seven community outcomes have been identiedthat represent what we want Auckland to be in2040, and they have guided our decision-making
for this draft annual plan. They are:1. a fair, safe and healthy Auckland
2. a green Auckland
3. an Auckland of prosperity and opportunity
4. a well-connected and accessible Auckland
5. a beautiful Auckland that is loved by its people
6. a culturally rich and creative Auckland
7. Te Hau o Te Whenua, Te Hau o Te Tangata – a Māori identity that is Auckland’s point ofdifference in the world.

We have identified the following seven key community outcomes, which are the key goals of the Auckland Plan.They are what we want Auckland to be in 2040, and they have guided our decision-making for this draft annualplan.
Each group of activities contributes to one or more of those outcomes.

A fair , safe and heal thy Auck land
Auckland is a strong and equitable societywhere social and economic disadvantage
is reduced, particularly for children and
young people. It has strong families and
cohesive communities. People value the
excellent services available to them and
participation in civic activities is
significantly higher than at present.
Aucklanders are healthier, more active
and live in higher quality housing than in
2013.
An Au ckl and of pr os peri ty and
opportunity Auckland is a global city with a strong and
vibrant economy providing ample
business growth and job opportunities. We
are technological innovators with strong
high tech business clusters that work with
our excellent tertiary institutes and making
use of innovation and ideas from their
research. The region is home to many
flourishing small and medium-sized
businesses. The city centre and waterfront
are vibrant, attractive and well developed.
We have many business areas in villagesand hubs across the city that provide local
employment. Auckland has strong
connections internationally.

Our waterways and coastlines are
cleaner, healthier and full of life. We
protect the natural environment and are
recognised for our clean air, quality water
supplies and low greenhouse gas
emissions, Our urban development is
world-leading. Many Aucklanders prefer touse public transport or telecommute, our
energy supply is resilient (and sustainably
sourced) and our households are energy
efficient. Our richly bio diverse city is well
endowed with tree-lined streets, networks
of parks and protected areas of native
bush and wetlands. We leverage existing
expertise and our clean and green
reputation to develop important industries
in leading edge clean tech and green
technology.
A w el l co nnected and accessi bl e

Auckland’s infrastructure is well-planned,
built to last, has kept up with growth and
meets the needs of its communities and
the economy. There is an effective,
efficient and integrated transport system,
offering choices, including a completedroad network and public transport that is
preferred by the majority of commuters
The movement of people and freight
around greater Auckland is considerably
easier than it is today. Our sea and
airports continue to play a crucial role in

Solid waste activities contribute to the Auckland Plan by:
• Starting the development of model resource recovery facilities to engage and encourage communities torecover more material and grow jobs.
• Helping households to reduce their waste by new services, such as the new organic service, largerrecycling bins, and education in preparation for ‘disposer pays’ for refuse.
• Using creative means to engage communities in rethinking their waste practices.
• Strengthening the connections between communities by starting to develop community recycling hubsaround reducing recycling and recovery.
• Enabling Auckland to be more resilient and prosperous by wiser use of resources and reducing carbonemissions from wasted material.
• Advocating for manufacturers to take full responsibility for disposing of or recycling products at the end oftheir lifecycle, and for industry to have the same obligation to minimise waste as local authorities.
• Contributing to a quality environment and tackling climate change by improving resource efficiency andreducing illegal dumping and litter.
Key projects that contribute to Māori outcomes
Key projects planned for 2014/2015 that contribute to achieving Māori outcomes include:
• The Waste Minimisation and Innovation Fund (WMIF) – this fund is open to mana whenua and Iwi/Māoriorganisations and supports projects that reduce and minimise the amount of waste going to landfill.
• Planned initiatives in 2014/2015 to implement the Waste Management and Minimisation Plan are consistentwith Māori views - minimising environmental impact, providing low-impact solutions, promoting sustainablemanagement of natural resources and providing services that meet community needs.
• We recognise mana whenua responsibilities as kaitiaki and aim to ensure concerns are addressed wherepossible in the management of solid waste.

Improving Auckland’s stormwater network is a part of our commitment to quality infrastructure needed to reachthe outcome of a green Auckland with waterways and coastline that are healthier and full of life. This is done by
ensuring that stormwater flows are managed cost-effectively, reducing any adverse impacts on public healthand safety, the environment, public and private property, and the economy and by minimising the potential fordamage to both our natural and built environments and disruption in basic services should flood events happen.
Key projects that contribute to Māori outcomes
Key projects planned for 2014/2015 that contribute to achieving Māori outcomes include:
• The Portland Road Daylighting/Wetland project and the Te Auaunga (Oakley Creek) restoration project.These projects support Māori outcomes by incorporating Māori knowledge and ensuring that feedbackraised by iwi are addressed where possible in public storm water system management.
• Working with mana whenua to deliver iwi based projects in priority catchments to improve water quality,
stormwater and stream restoration via the Sustainable Catchments Programme.
As kaitiaki, water holds special value and obligations for Māori. We recognise these responsibilities and want toensure concerns are addressed where possible in the management of the public stormwater system.
We will endeavour to use sustainable design principles and treat stormwater prior to discharge and managefloodwaters so that what returns into the ecosystem is in a clean state does not damage Māori relationshipswith, and use of, that resource.

The Auckland Plan identifies the transport system as crucial to achieving the vision of Auckland as the world’smost liveable city. It recognises the need for significant improvements to the transport system so that it workswell for business, residents and visitors, supports Auckland’s development, and contributes to the health andsafety of its people and character of its places.
The transport activities respond to these challenges by adopting a “One System” approach, which provides foran integrated programme of infrastructure and operations. This approach will contribute to the Auckland Planthrough the following:
• better use of transport resources to maximise return on existing assets.
• moving people and goods efficiently across Auckland’s transport network.
• increased access to a wider range of transport choices.
• improved safety of Auckland’s transport system.• reduced adverse environmental effects from Auckland’s transport system.
• Auckland’s transport network effectively connecting communities and provides for Auckland’s compacturban form.

Notes:
1. Road Corridor Productivity is measured by # of vehicles X their average speed X average vehicle occupancy by lane. Based on
considerable research, Austroads (association of Australian and New Zealand road transport and traffic authorities) has issued
recommendations for measuring this, based on ideal arterial road conditions. Taking these recommendations into account, an AT
corridor productivity ideal has been set at: 38,000 person km, per hour, per lane (900 vehicles travelling at an average speed of 35kph
in one lane, with an average of 1.2 occupants).
2. The figures for fatal and serious injuries on the local road network for each year are reported on a calendar year basis. The result is for
the previous calendar year.

Financial overview
Our financial strategyThe Long-term Plan (LTP) 2012-2022 set the first budget for delivery of the aspirations of the Auckland Plan. Italso set the council’s first financial strategy that enables the significant investment required to deliver on the Auckland Plan, while maintaining affordability for current and future ratepayers.
In 2014/2015 we plan to maintain this momentum by investing $1.25 billion in new and improved assets.Combined with $550 million to restore and replace existing assets, our total proposed capital expenditureprogramme for 2014/2015 is $1.8 billion.
Our financial strategy sets limits on the council’s borrowing to maintain debt at a sustainable level and provideflexibility to deal with unforeseen events. While net debt
1 for the group is projected to increase from $6.5 billion
to $7.4 billion in 2014/2015, it will still be well within prudential limits. Council considers that borrowing to fundthe investment in new assets is the fairest and most appropriate approach, as these assets will provide benefitsover a long period of time.
To provide a degree of certainty to ratepayers, our financial strategy also sets a limit on the average generalrate increases of 4.9 per cent for the financial years 2013/2014 to 2021/2022. The 2.4 per cent average ratesincrease for 2014/2015 is well below that limit. Together with other revenue sources such as user charges,grants and subsidies, general rates will help fund the $550 million of asset renewals and the $3.3 billionoperational cost of delivering council services in 2014/2015.
The following tables show how the key financial parameters for the annual plan compares to the LTP and thelimits set in the financial strategy.

The capital programme is driven by:
• service level improvements - $842 million (47 per cent) including $590 million for roading and publictransport
• renewal of existing assets - $550 million (31 per cent) including $295 million to maintain existing servicelevels associated with network infrastructure (transport, water, wastewater, and stormwater)
• growth - $385 million (22 per cent) to cater for additional demand arising from changes in population andland use.

Total 1,842 Total 1,842
The $550 million cost of restoring and replacing existing assets is primarily paid for by the depreciation chargeincluded in your rates, along with New Zealand Transport Agency subsidies for transport renewals.
The $1.25 billion investment in new assets is primarily paid for by borrowing to spread this cost over time. Weconsider this the fairest and most appropriate approach because these assets will provide benefits over a long
period of time. As the above table shows, grants and subsidies, development contributions and the sale ofsurplus assets are also important sources of capital funding.
Prudent financial management
To ensure that we are using debt wisely, we monitor our borrowing levels relative to our income and the value ofour assets. By June 2015 the value of council assets will grow to $40.4 billion and debt will increase to $7.4billion.

The council is required to prepare audited 10-year financial plans that demonstrate that our debt levels can beaccommodated over the medium to long term without the need for unsustainable increases in rates and usercharges.
To ensure that debt levels continue to remain prudent and sustainable, the council has set the followingprudential debt limits in our long-term plan:
Measure Annual Plan Long-term Plan Limi t
Net debt as percentage of total revenue 203.90% 199.40% < 275%
Net interest as percentage of total revenue 11.60% 11.50% <15%
Net interest as percentage of rates revenue 19.80% 19.50% < 25%

Financial overview
These limits are indicators of the ability of council to cover its borrowing costs from its different revenue sources.We ensure that debt levels will remain within those limits over a 10-year horizon.
For 2014/2015 we forecast that net interest expense will be $421 million or approximately $1 million per day.During this year the council is planning on spending $1.2 billion, or about $3 million per day, on new or improvedassets. We will borrow about $840 million to pay for a proportion of these new assets and will receive totaloperating revenue of over $3 billion, or more than $8 million a day.
The council uses a combination of operating income sources to pay for interest including, rates, fees andcharges such as water and wastewater tariffs, and investment income such as commercial rental revenue andports revenue. One dollar in every eight dollars of revenue funds interest.
In a similar way to how you might fix your mortgage, we protect the council from rises in interest rates throughthe use of fixed interest rates and the use of interest rate hedging instruments. To a large extend, this locks incouncil’s future borrowing cost and protects us from rising interest rates.
To ensure that we do not become too dependent on the state of global financial markets, we ensure that wealways have sufficient cash, liquid investments and committed lines of credit available to allow us to pay our billsfor at least the next six months. We also make sure that we borrow from a range of domestic and internationallenders so that a problem with any one source of borrowings does not have too large an impact.
Financial sustainability
The council is using borrowing to fund investment in assets to accommodate a growing city and seeks to ensurethat the value created from this investment exceeds the whole-of-life cost of the investment. Without the abilityto use debt in this way, the council would have to choose between significantly higher rates or a significantreduction in planned assets and services. The council’s situation is different to a typical household in that thecity is expected to continue grow for a very long time and not transition into a retirement phase.
If Auckland was not growing and needing to lift the standard of the city’s infrastructure, existing budgets wouldbe sufficient to support paying down debt. Over the next eight years to 2022, the council’s operating budgets willgenerate surplus cash of close to $6 billion. With approximately 70 per cent of these funds earmarked forrenewing and replacing existing assets, about $1.6 billion would be available to repay debt.
However, because the city is growing strongly and community expectations continue to rise, the council isplanning to invest $12.3 billion in new and upgraded public infrastructure over this period. This investment willsupport growth and the demand for better quality public assets and related services. Rather than applying the$1.6 billion to repaying debt, it is more efficient to use this to offset our borrowing requirements in relation to theinvestment in these assets. In other words, we currently plan to use our surplus cash to invest in the city ratherthan paying down debt.

Operating expenditure and rates funding
Operating expenditure
Operating expenditure (opex) covers the council’s day-to-day operations and services, from collecting rubbish to
maintaining parks and issuing building consents. It includes costs related to the capital expenditure programmesuch as interest, maintenance and depreciation.
The following table provides an overview of capital expenditure by activity theme for 2014/2015. Transport is thelargest area of operating expenditure (31 per cent).
2014/2015 gross operating expenditure for group by theme

Governance 54,697 2%
Total operating expendi ture 3,283,543 100%
The council’s large investment programme means that asset related costs such as interest, maintenance anddepreciation are rising faster than the rate of inflation. For example interest expense rises by $55 million, or 15per cent from 2013/2014 to 2014/2015.
We are also incurring new costs due to new alcohol control legislation, bylaw consolidation and the need toaccelerate the pace of construction of new homes.
We have, however, been able to find enough efficiency savings to cope with these rising costs with only a 2.4per cent average rates increase for 2014/2015. These savings generally represent reduced costs relative to thelegacy councils, while delivering the same or greater service levels. These have been achieved throughimproved procurement practices, process automation, system rationalisation, better budgeting, resourceoptimisation, and enhanced commercial management.

Operational funding
Rates provide approximately 43 per cent of the council’s operating revenue with the rest coming from grants,subsidies, development and financial contributions, user charges and fees.

We set rates at the level required to balance our budgets after:
1. maximising efficiency savings, and
2. ensuring we recover a fair and appropriate amount of our costs through user charges.
The following table shows how rates revenue is applied to activity theme for 2014/2015:

Notes:
1. Water supply and sewerage activities are funded through water charges rather than rates.
2. The commercial and investment activities generate commercial revenue and return on investments that offset the overall rates
requirement. The rates revenue for this theme is therefore shown as a negative number.
User charges are the primary means of funding the water and wastewater services provided by Watercare.Water and wastewater charges are maintained at minimum levels consistent with the effective conduct ofWatercare’s total business and the maintenance of the long-term integrity of its assets. For 2014/2015, waterand wastewater prices are projected to increase by around 3.5 per cent and 3.75 per cent as per the Long-termPlan 2012-2022. This is under review with the intention to reduce the overall increase for 2014/2015. The totalrevenue for water and wastewater in 2014/2015 is forecast to be $0.5 billion.

Part III: Financial information
Financial overview
Accounting surplus / deficitUnder local government legislation, New Zealand councils are required to follow prevailing accountingstandards and practices. These standards require us to prepare financial reports that are structured differentlyto the way in which we assess our rates requirement. Some key differences are:
Depreciation - this is a non-cash operating expenditure item that must be expensed in full in our accountingstatements, although for the purpose of setting rates our current policy is to only partially fund this item (basedon the proportion of depreciation funded by the legacy councils). The council considers it fair and prudent foreach generation of ratepayers to pay for the assets they “consume” and therefore we are gradually movingtowards fully funding depreciation by 2025.
Grants, subsidies and contribution revenue – to the extent that these items fund capital expenditure, we ignorethese items when determining the rates required to balancing our operating budgets. However, accountingstandards require that we recognise the full amount of these items as revenue in our accounting statements.
Investment income – when we set rates we take into account our share of income from Auckland Airport.However, the accounting rules place some restrictions on us presenting this as revenue in our financialstatements.
The Auckland Council group is projecting a net operating surplus of $108 million in 2014/2015 (refer tablebelow). This improves to a $148 million operating surplus before tax once the council’s share of income from
Auckland Airport and the projected returns on our portfolio of financial investments are taken into account.

Notes:
1. Prospective rates for 2014/2015 are lower than originally forecast in the long-term plan. This is due to a range of specific savings
initiatives and lower inflation projections, resulting in a lower rates requirement. For the purposes of this statement, rates includes rates
penalties income and are shown net of rates charged on property owned by the council group. Refer to the sources of income note for
further detail.
2. The decrease in 2014/2015 fees and user charges revenue compared to the long-term plan forecast is mainly as a result of lower
activity revenue in water supply and wastewater activities.
3. The increase in subsidies and grants is due to capital grants received for projects to be delivered in 2014/2015 that were deferred from
prior years.4. The variance in personnel costs from the long-term plan is due mainly to a reallocation of consultant and external contract budgets
included within other operating expenditure, to personnel costs, as the council moves to improve utilisation of its internal staff resource.
5. The decrease in other operating expenditure is due to the combination of a range of specific savings initiatives, lower average rate of
inflation than forecast in the long-term plan and the transfer of budgets to personnel (see note 4 above).
6. The decrease in interest expense for 2014/2015 is due to a lower average interest rate being budgeted on council borrowing compared
to that forecast in the long-term plan. This is partly offset by an amendment to the non-cash rediscounting of interest related to the
council's weathertightness provision.
7. The decrease in net gain on revaluation of property, plant and equipment is due to a change in the forecast timing of revaluation of
council assets and a decrease in the rate of inflation applied.

Notes:
1. The reduction in opening equity for 2014/2015 reflects a lower closing equity position in the 2012/2013 annual accounts than was
anticipated when the long-term plan was prepared. This was due mainly to the reduced impact of asset revaluations, lower service and
other income and higher expenses to operate and maintain council assets as detailed in the 2012/2013 annual report.
2. The variance between the 2014/2015 annual plan and long-term plan total comprehensive income is the result of a decrease in
revaluation of some fixed assets due to timing differences, and lower activity revenue on certain activities, partially offset by a decrease
in other operating expenditure due to the combination of a range of specific savings initiatives and a lower average rate of inflation than
forecast in the long-term plan.

Notes:
1. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due mainly to a planned increase in cash holdings for liquidity purposes.
2. Current and term receivables and payables have been updated to reflect balances in the audited 2012/2013 annual accounts.
3. The variance in other financial assets is due to an increase in the value in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.
4. The increase in non-current assets held for sale reflects council's decision to sell the land adjacent to the Vodafone Events Centre, with
proceeds to be distributed by Regional Facilities Auckland for the purposes of the Stage 2 development of this facility.
5. The variance in property plant and equipment is due to lower closing balances in the 2012/2013 annual accounts and the 2013/2014
budget than forecast when preparing the long-term plan. This results from deferred capital expenditure and decreased asset
revaluation impact.
6. The variance in intangible assets is due to increased capitalisation of computer software in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.
7. The variance in investment property value is due a higher closing balance in the 2012/2013 annual accounts than originally forecast,
primarily as a result of investment property revaluation in prior years.
8. The variance in investment in associates relates to the increase in the fair value of the council's shareholding in Auckland International
Airport Limited, as recorded in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.
9. The borrowings opening balance was higher than forecast in the long-term plan due to a range of factors, including increased cash
holdings and lower development contribution revenue, offset by capital expenditure deferrals. Further increases in the 2014/2015 year
are due to additional capital spending on parks acquisitions and solid waste infrastructure.
10. The variance in derivative financial instruments is due to an increase in the value of interest rate swap liability recorded in the
2012/2013 annual accounts.
11. The variance in provisions is due to the increased provisions recorded in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.
12. The decrease in deferred tax liability is related to an increase in revaluation of Watercare Services Limited property, plant and
equipment, a portion of which increases deferred tax liability.

Prospective financial statements and notes
Notes to previous t able:
1. Receipts from rates revenue are shown net of rates charged on property owned by the council group and working capital movements.
The decrease in prospective rates for 2014/2015 is due to a range of specific savings initiatives and lower inflation projections,
resulting in a lower rates requirement than previously forecast.
2. The decrease in receipts from customers and services for 2014/2015 compared to the long-term plan forecast is mainly due to lower
activity user charge revenue for a range of services.
3. The decrease in payments to suppliers and employees is due to a range of specific savings initiatives and a lower average rate ofinflation than forecast in the long-term plan.
4. The increase in interest income is due to higher cash holdings. The decrease in interest paid for 2014/2015 is due to a lower average
interest rate being budgeted on council borrowing compared to that forecast in the long-term plan.
5. The increase in purchase of property plant and equipment reflects additional capital expenditure planned for parks acquisitions and
solid waste infrastructure.
6. For the purposes of this statement it is assumed that current borrowings in one year are repaid the following year and refinanced. The
movements in proceeds from and repayments of borrowing for 2014/2015 are indicative of the lower proportion of short-term (current)
borrowing in the 2012/2013 annual accounts. This impact has been carried through to subsequent years.
7. The variance from the long-term plan in 2013/2014 cash and cash equivalents is due to a planned increase in the level of cash being
held for liquidity purposes.

Notes to the financial statements
Note 1: General information
Auckland Council (the council) is a local authority domiciled in New Zealand and governed by the Local
Government Act 2002 (LGA 2002) and the Local Government (Auckland) Act 2009 (LGAA 2009).
The Auckland Council group (‘the group’) consists of the ultimate parent, the council and its subsidiaries,associates and jointly controlled entities including council-controlled organisations (CCOs). All subsidiaries andassociates are domiciled in New Zealand. The council considers that full group information enhances thetransparency of information about the cost of services provided to Auckland ratepayers and enables ratepayersto make more informed decisions about the impact of delivering on the Auckland Plan.
This draft annual plan is based on the Auckland Council’s Long-term Plan 2012-2022 (LTP), updated for newinformation arising since the LTP was adopted.
The council is responsible for the prospective financial statements included in the Draft Annual Plan 2014/2015,including the appropriateness of the significant financial assumptions these are based on, and the otherdisclosures in the document.
The prospective financial information has been prepared for the purposes of meeting council’s requirementsunder the LGA 2002, the LGAA 2009, and the Local Government (Auckland Transitional Provisions) Act 2010.This information may not be suitable for use in any other context.
Since these prospective financial statements are for the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015, actual results arenot reflected. The actual results achieved for the period covered by this plan are likely to vary from theinformation presented in this document, and these variances may be material. The council does not intend toupdate the prospective financial statements after publication.
The primary objective of the group is to provide services to the Auckland community for social benefit ratherthan making a financial return. Accordingly, the council has designated itself and the group as public benefitentities for the purposes of the New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (‘NZIFRS’).
Basis of pr eparat ion
Statement of compliance
These prospective financial statements are prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP), the LGA 2002 and the LGAA 2009. They comply with NZ IFRS and otherapplicable financial reporting standards, as appropriate for public benefit entities. In particular, these prospectivestatements have been prepared in accordance with FRS-42: Prospective Financial Statements.
Basis of measurement
The prospective financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, with the exception of certainitems identified in specific accounting policies. They are presented in New Zealand dollars (NZD) which is thegroup’s functional currency and are rounded to the nearest thousand ($000), unless otherwise stated.
Comparative information
Comparator information in this draft annual plan includes 2013/2014 budget information and 2014/2015 Long-term Plan information,
The 2013/2014 budget information is based on the published Annual Plan 2013/2014 but has been updated toreflect any new information arising since its adoption including opening balances and capital expendituredeferrals.
The Long-term Plan comparator information has not been updated but has, in some cases, been reclassified toachieve disclosure consistency.

Cost allocation
Cost of service for each significant activity is calculated as follows:
• Direct costs are those costs directly attributable to a significant activity
• Indirect costs are those costs that cannot be identified in an economically feasible manner with a specificsignificant activity. Indirect costs are charged to significant activities using appropriate costs drivers.
Note 2: Summary of significant accounting policies
Bas is o f conso l ida t ion
The group financial statements include the council and its subsidiaries, together with the results of itsassociates, accounted for using the equity method.
Transactions and balances between the council and its subsidiaries are eliminated on consolidation. Non-controlling interests and their movements are shown separately.
The basis of consolidation for joint ventures depends on the form of the joint venture:
• For jointly controlled operations, the group recognises the assets it controls, the liabilities and expenses itincurs and the share of income that it earns from the joint venture.
• For jointly controlled assets, the group recognises its share of the jointly controlled assets, its share of anyliabilities and expenses incurred jointly, any other liabilities and expenses it has incurred in respect of the jointly controlled asset and any income from the sale or use of its share of the output of the joint venture.
• For jointly controlled entities, the group recognises its share of the entities' net assets at cost andsubsequently adjusts the cost for changes in the net assets. The group's share of the entities' surplus ordeficit is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income as a component of surplus or deficit.
In the council's financial statements investment in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities are carried at costless any accumulated impairment.
Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries, associates and jointlycontrolled entities to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the council.
Foreign c ur rency t rans lat ion
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the NZD using exchange rates prevailing at the dates of thetransactions. Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies at balance date covered by forward exchangecontracts are translated to NZD at the contracted rate. Where the balance is not covered by the forwardexchange contract it is translated at the rate of exchange at balance date. Foreign currency differences arisingon translation are recognised in surplus or deficit.
RevenueRevenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. It is recognised when theamount of revenue can be reliably measured and when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow tothe entity.
Rates
Rates are assessed in full at the start of each financial year. They can be paid in full or by instalments. Whererates are paid in advance of instalment due dates, the revenue is recognised on receipt. Where rates are paid ininstalments, the revenue is recognised evenly throughout the year.

Fees and user charges
Significant items of fees and user charges revenue include:
Revenue item Recogniti on criteria
Water and wastewater Water and wastewater is recognised when services are invoices. Unbilledamounts are accrued on an average usage basis.
Safe of goods and services Revenue from the supply of services is recognised on a straight-line basis overthe specified period of the service unless an alternative method betterrepresents the stage of completion of the transaction.
Port operations Revenue from port operations is recognised in the period the services arerendered, by reference to the percentage of completion of the specifictransaction.
Consents, licences and permits Revenue from consents is recognised by reference to the stage of completionof the transaction at balance date based on the actual service provided as apercentage of the total services to be provided. Revenue from licences andpermits is recognised on application.
Operating and capital grants
Operating and capital grants are recognised as revenue when conditions of the contract have been met. Thesegrants are predominately received from the government, New Zealand Transport Agency, which subsidises bothoperational and capital expenditure for maintaining, renewal and construction of the local roading infrastructureand improving public transport.
Operating grants are used to fund operating expenditure. Capital grants are used to fund the acquisition orconstruction of long term assets.
Development and financial contribut ions
Development contribution revenue is recognised when the council is capable of providing the service for whichthe contribution was levied. Financial contributions received by the council are recognised as revenue whenthey are expended on the activity for which the contribution was levied.
Vested assets (non-Crown)
Assets vested to the group are recognised as revenue when control over the asset is obtained. Vested assetsincluded within other revenue exclude assets vested by the Crown.
Fair value through surplus or deficit financial assets
Realised and unrealised gains on investments designated as fair value through surplus or deficit are recognisedas revenue.
Grants, cont r ibu t ions and spon sorsh ip expenseWhere grants and subsidies are discretionary, the expense is recognised when the group has advised of itsdecision to pay. Non-discretionary grants are recognised on receipt of application and when the specifiedcriteria have been met.

Net f i nance expense
Interest income and expense are recognised in surplus or deficit using the effective interest rate method.Interest expense includes the amortisation of borrowing costs recognised over the borrowing term. Net financeexpense include unwinding of discounts on provisions and financial assets; and realised gains or losses on theearly close out of derivatives.
Assets ves ted by t he Crow n
Assets vested by the Crown are recognised at fair value when control of the asset is transferred to the group.
Leases
Lessee
The group leases certain property, plant and equipment. Payments made under operating leases (net of anyincentives received from the lessor) are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Operating leasesdo not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of an asset.
Lessor
Assets leased to third parties under operating leases are included in investment property in the statement offinancial position. Rental income (net of any incentives given to lessees) is recognised as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
Income tax
Income tax comprises current tax and deferred tax calculated using tax rates (and tax laws) that have beenenacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Income tax is charged or credited to the surplus ordeficit, except when it relates to items charged or credited directly to equity or to the statement of
comprehensive income as a component of other comprehensive income (‘other comprehensive income’).Current tax is the amount of income tax payable for the current period, plus any adjustments to income taxpayable in respect of prior periods.
Deferred tax is the amount of income tax payable or recoverable in future periods in respect of temporarydifferences and unused tax losses.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits held at call with banks and other short term highlyliquid investments with original maturities of three months or less.
Bank overdraft is included in borrowings in current liabilities within the statement of financial position and as a
component of cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.
Receivables
Receivables are initially measured at nominal or face value. Receivables are subsequently adjusted forpenalties and interest as they are charged and impairment losses. Non-current receivables are measured at thepresent value of the expected future cash inflows.
Inventor ies
Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost using the first-in-first-out method (‘FIFO’) or net realisable value
unless they are held for consumption in the provision of non-commercial services, which are recorded at costusing FIFO, adjusted for any loss in service potential.

Bio log ica l assets
Biological assets are measured at fair value less estimated cost to sell with any realised and unrealised gains orlosses reported in surplus or deficit.
Proper ty , p l ant and equipment
Initial recognition
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at cost or at fair value when an asset is acquired at no costor for a nominal cost.
Capital work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated.
Transfers
When the use of a property changes from owner-occupied to investment property, the property is reclassified toinvestment property at its fair value at the date of the transfer.
Transfers to group entities are done so at the carrying value at the time of transfer.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing or improving part of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognised in the carryingamount of an item. The costs of day-to-day servicing of property, plant and equipment are recognised in surplusor deficit as incurred.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, classes of property, plant and equipment are accounted for as set out in thetable on the following page. Depreciation is charged on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate thecost or valuation of an item of property, plant and equipment less any estimated residual value over itsremaining useful life.

Revaluation
Property, plant and equipment is revalued on a class of asset basis. Net revaluation results are credited ordebited to other comprehensive income and are accumulated to the asset revaluation reserve in equity for thatclass of asset. Where this would result in a debit balance in the asset revaluation reserve, the debit balance isrecognised in surplus or deficit. Any subsequent increase on revaluation is recognised first in the surplus ordeficit up to the amount previously expensed and then recognised in other comprehensive income.
Disposals
Realised gains and losses on disposal of property, plant and equipment are recognised in surplus or deficit. Anyamount included in the asset revaluation reserve in respect of the disposed item is transferred from the reserveto accumulated funds.
Intangible assets
Initial recognition
Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost. The cost of an internally generated intangible asset representsexpenses incurred in the development phase of the asset only. Intangible assets acquired at no cost are initiallyrecognised at fair value where that is reliably measurable.
Subsequent measurement
Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are accounted for as set out below. Amortisation is chargedon a straight-line basis at rates calculated to allocate the cost of the intangible asset to estimated residual valueover its useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortised but are tested at least annuallyfor impairment and carried at cost less accumulated impairment.

Disposals
Realised gains and losses from the disposal of intangible assets are recognised in surplus or deficit.
Investment pr oper ty
Investment property is initially recognised at cost. After initial recognition, investment property is carried at fairvalue. Gains or losses arising from fair value changes are included in surplus or deficit.
Impairment
Impairment of non-financial assets
Non-financial assets are assessed at each reporting period for impairment. Impairment is first recognised as areversal of previously recorded revaluation reserves for that class of asset. Where no reserve is available, theimpairment is recognised in surplus or deficit.
Impairment of financial assets
Financial assets are assessed for impairment at each reporting period for impairment. Impairment is recognisedin surplus or deficit.
Employee ent i t lements
Pension liabilities
Contributions to defined contribution retirement plans are recognised in surplus or deficit as they fall due.
Contributions to the Defined Benefit Contributors Scheme, a multi-employer defined benefit scheme, are treatedin the same way as contributions to defined contribution retirement plans. This is because it is not possible todetermine the extent to which the surplus or deficit of the plan will affect future contributions by individual
employers as there is no prescribed basis for allocation.
Other employee entitl ements
Employee entitlements for salaries and wages, annual leave, long service leave and other similar benefits arerecognised in surplus or deficit when they accrue to employees. Employee entitlements to be settled within 12months are reported at the amount expected to be paid. The liability for long term employee entitlements isreported at the present value of estimated future cash outflows.
Payables and accruals
Payables and accruals are stated at cost. Non-current payables and accruals are measured at the present value
of the expected future cash outflows.
Prov is ions
Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected future cash outflows required to settle theobligation. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as finance costs in surplus ordeficit.
Financia l guarantee co nt racts
Where the group enters into contracts to guarantee the indebtedness of other entities, the contract is initiallyrecognised at its fair value based on actuarial assumptions. Assumptions are reviewed annually with any
change of the fair value recognised in surplus or deficit as other gains or losses.

Non-der ivat ive f inancia l inst r uments
Non-derivative financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, receivables (net of prepayments),community loans, unit trusts, other interest-bearing assets, investments in listed and unlisted shares, payablesand accruals, certain employee entitlements, tax payable and borrowings. These are recognised initially at fairvalue plus or minus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Community loans made at below market interest rates or interest free are initially recognised at the presentvalue of their expected future cash flows. The difference between the face value and present value of expectedfuture cash flows of the loan is recognised as a grant in surplus or deficit.
Subsequent to initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments are recognised as described below.
Financial assets
Cash and cash equivalents and receivables are described above earlier in this section.
Unit trusts and listed shares
Unit trusts and listed shares are subsequently measured at fair value. Changes in the fair value are recognisedthrough surplus or deficit.
Unlisted shares
Unlisted shares are subsequently measured at fair value. Unrealised gains and losses are recognised throughother comprehensive income. Cumulative gains or losses held in other comprehensive income are recycledthrough surplus or deficit as realised.
Other interest-bearing assets
Other interest-bearing assets include bonds, loans to related parties and community loans. They aresubsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method less any impairment losses, whichare recognised in surplus or deficit as incurred.
Financia l l iab i l i t ies
Payables and accruals, employee entitlements and tax payable are described earlier in this section.
Borrowings
Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Borrowingsare classified as current liabilities unless the group has an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liabilityfor more than 12 months after the balance date.
Der ivat ive f inancia l ins t rumentsThe group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge exchange rate and interest rate risks. The group doesnot hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Derivatives are initially recognised at cost and subsequently measured at fair value. Any resulting gains orlosses are recognised in surplus or deficit unless the derivative has been designated into a hedge relationshipthat qualifies for hedge accounting.
Cash flow hedges
The group recognises the effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flowhedges in other comprehensive income. Gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion are recognised insurplus or deficit.
On de-recognition, cumulative gains or losses held in other comprehensive income are transferred fromreserves to surplus or deficit.

Prospective financial statements and notes
When a hedge of a forecast transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability then the associated gains and losses that were recognised in other comprehensive income aretransferred to the initial cost or carrying amount of the asset or liability.
Fair value hedges
The gain or loss from remeasuring hedging instruments at fair value, along with the changes in the fair value on
the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, is recognised in surplus or deficit.
If the hedge relationship no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the adjustment to the carryingamount of a hedged item for which the effective interest method is used is amortised to the surplus or deficitover the period to maturity.
Offset t ing f in ancia l inst ru ments
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the statements of financial positionwhen it is legally enforceable and there is an intention to settle on a net basis. Income and expenses arising asa result of financial instrument earnings or fair value adjustments are recognised as a net result for like items.
Commitments
Commitments are classified as:
• Capital commitments, which include capital expenditure contracted for but not recognised as paid orprovided for at balance date, and
• Operating lease commitments.
Cancellable commitments that have penalty or exit costs explicit in the agreement are reported at the value ofthat penalty or exit cost if such costs are less than the commitment.
Ratepayer equi t y
Ratepayer equity is the Auckland community’s interest in the group. Ratepayer equity has been classified intovarious components to identify those portions of equity held for specific purposes.
Components of equity include:
• Contributed equity
• Contributed equity is the net asset and liability position excluding restricted reserves at the time the councilwas formed.
• Accumulated funds.
• Accumulated funds are the group’s accumulated surplus or deficit since formation, adjusted for transfersto/from specific reserves.
• Reserves
• Revaluation reserves are for the revaluation of certain assets to fair value.
• Cash flow hedge reserves comprise the effective portion of the cumulative net change in the fair value ofderivatives designated as cash flow hedges.
• Restricted equity includes targeted rates and reserves, where use of the funds is specified by statute, trustdeed or contract.
Related par t i es
Related parties include key management personnel, the elected representatives of the council and their close
family members and entities controlled by them. Key management personnel are the chief executive andexecutive leadership team. The elected representatives of the council are the Mayor and councillors. Closefamily members are spouses or domestic partners, children and dependants.

Related party transactions do not include income from rates, water supply and wastewater, the supply ofservices and consents, licences and permits.
Subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are also related parties. This is due to the council'sinfluence over these entities.
Future changes to f inancia l repor t ing s tandardsThe External Reporting Board (XRB) has introduced a revised Accounting Standards Framework. The revisedframework introduces Public Benefit Entity Accounting Standards comprising International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS), modified as appropriate for New Zealand circumstances. These standards willapply for years beginning on or after 1 July 2014. Council is in the process of transitioning to the revisedstandards. To date no significant implications have been identified. Any changes as a result of the transition tothe new standards will be reflected in the final Annual Plan 2014/2015.
Financial reporting requirements for public benefit entities are frozen in the short term and all new NZ IFRS andamendments to existing NZ IFRS with a mandatory effective date for annual reporting periods commencing onor after 1 January 2012 are not applicable to public benefit entities. Accordingly, no disclosure has been madeabout new or amended NZ IFRS that exclude public benefit entities from their scope.
New and amended standards ado pted
No new or amended standards have been adopted by the group and council.
Standards, amendments and in terpretat ions to ex is t ingstandard s that are not yet ef fect iv e
Certain new standards, amendments and interpretations to existing standards have been published that aremandatory for the group and the council’s accounting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2013 or later periodsbut which the council and the group has not early adopted:
NZ IFRS9, ‘Financial Instruments’ - This standard will eventually replace NZ IAS39 ‘Financial Instruments -Recognition and Measurement’ and is expected to be adopted by the group in the consolidated financialstatements for the year ending 30 June 2016. However, as the revised Accounting Standards Framework willapply before this date, there is no certainty when an equivalent standard to NZ IFRS9 will be applied by publicbenefit entities.

Note 5: Prospective prudential financial ratios
This annual plan is prepared on a group basis. For the purposes of calculating the ratios under its Treasury
Management Policy, Auckland Council removes Watercare from the group financial information. The information
below summarises how each of these prudential ratios is calculated based on the prospective financial
information contained in this plan and provides a year by year comparison against the ratio limits.

Notes:
1. Watercare is excluded from the calculation of prudential ratios as it is not reliant on Auckland Council to fund its operation.
2. The Diversified Financial Assets Portfolio is a portfolio of liquid assets that can be converted to cash if required in an emergency. For
the purposes of the prudential ratios the value of this portfolio is offset against borrowings.
3. Borrowing, revenue and interest have been adjusted for the purchase of Electric Motor Units for Auckland Transport for which there is
a dedicated loan from central government.
4. Development Contributions (DC) are recognised as operating revenue where they are charged to fund interest costs on DC-relatedborrowing.

Notes:
1. Prospective rates for 2014/2015 are lower than originally forecast in the long-term plan. This is due to a range of specific savings
initiatives and lower inflation projections, resulting in a lower rates requirement. For the purposes of this statement, rates includes rates
penalties income and are shown net of rates charged on property owned by the council. Refer to the sources of income note for further
detail.
2. The increase in subsidies and grants is due to capital grants received for projects to be delivered in 2014/2015 that were deferred from
prior years.
3. The variance in other revenue is due to the reclassification of inter-entity parking revenue, included in other revenue in the long-term
plan but reclassified as reduced grants paid in the annual plan (see note 5 below).
4. The variance in personnel costs from the long-term plan is due mainly to a reallocation from consultant and external contract budgets
included within 'Other operating expenditure' in the long-term plan, to personnel costs, as the council moves to improve utilisation of itsinternal staff resource (see note 6 below).
5. The decrease in grants, contributions and sponsorship expenditure is due mainly to a reduction in the funding by the council parent to
fund CCOs' operating expenditure and a reclassification of inter-entity parking revenue (see note 3 above).
6. The decrease in other operating expenditure is due to the combination of a range of specific savings initiatives, lower average rate of
inflation than forecast in the long-term plan and the transfer of budgets to personnel costs (see note 4 above).
7. The increase in both interest expense and interest income for 2013/2014 is mainly due to a combination of forecasting for a higher
cash holding for liquidity purposes and an increase in the proportion of debt requirements for Watercare Services Limited being
sourced through the council parent.
8. The decrease in net gain on revaluation of property, plant and equipment is due to a change in the forecast timing of revaluation of
council assets and a decrease in the rate of inflation applied.

Notes:
1. The reduction in opening equity for 2014/2015 reflects a lower closing equity position in the 2012/2013 annual accounts than was
anticipated when the long-term plan was prepared. This was due mainly to the reduced impact of asset revaluations, lower service and
other income and higher expenses to operate and maintain council assets as detailed in the 2012/2013 annual report.
2. The variance between the 2014/2015 annual plan and long-term plan total comprehensive income is mainly due an increase in
revaluation of some fixed assets due to timing differences.

Notes:
1. The increase in cash and cash equivalents is due mainly to a planned increase in cash holdings for liquidity purposes.
2. Current and term receivables and payables have been updated to reflect relative balances in the audited 2012/2013 annual accounts.
3. The variance in other financial assets is due to opening values being updated to reflect the actual balances recorded in the 2012/2013
annual accounts and an increase in the proportion of Watercare Services Limited debt sourced through the council parent entity, partlyoffset by the reduction in the internal loan from the council parent entity to Regional Facilities Auckland to provide for the conversion of
debt to equity within the CCO.
4. This variance is due to the increased value of interest rate swap assets recorded in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.
5. The variance in property plant and equipment is due to lower closing balances in the 2012/2013 annual accounts and the 2013/2014
budget than forecast when preparing the long-term plan. This mainly results from a decrease in the impact of asset revaluation.
6. The variance in investment in subsidiaries is due to the decreased investment in CCOs by the council parent and the conversion of
loans to Regional Facilities Auckland to equity recorded in the 2012/2013 annual accounts, carried through to the 2014/2015 year.
7. The borrowings opening balance was higher than forecast in the long-term plan due to a range of factors, including increased cash
holdings, an increase in the proportion of Watercare Services Limited borrowings sourced through the council parent entity and lower
development contribution revenue. Further increases in the 2014/205 year are due to additional borrowings by Watercare Services
Limited sourced through the council parent entity and additional capital spending by council on parks acquisitions and solid waste
infrastructure.8. The variance in derivative financial instruments is due to the increased value of interest rate swap liabilities recorded in the 2012/2013
annual accounts.
9. The variance in provisions is due to the increased provisions recorded in the 2012/2013 annual accounts.

Notes:
1. The decrease in prospective cash flows from rates in 2013/2014 is mainly due to a range of specific savings initiatives and lower
inflation projections, resulting in a lower rates requirement than previously forecast. Receipts from rates revenue are shown net of rates
charged on property owned by the council parent entity and working capital movements.
2. The decrease in payments to suppliers and employees is due to a range of specific savings initiatives and lower average rate of
inflation than forecast in the long-term plan.

Part III: Financial information
Prospective financial statements and notes
3. The increase in interest expense and interest income is due to a combination of a higher cash holdings, offset by higher borrowings,
and an increase in the proportion of Watercare Services Limited borrowings sourced through the council parent. The increase in
interest expense is partially offset by a lower average interest rate being budgeted on council borrowing compared to that forecast in
the long-term plan.
4. The increase in loans to subsidiaries and reduction in repayment of loans from subsidiaries are mainly due to an increase in the
proportion of Watercare Services Limited borrowings sourced through the council parent entity where as a repayment was budgeted for
in the long-term plan.
5. The increase in purchase of property plant and equipment reflects additional capital expenditure planned for parks acquisitions and
solid waste infrastructure.
6. For the purposes of this statement it is assumed that current borrowings in one year are repaid the following year and refinanced. The
movements in proceeds from and repayments of borrowing for 2013/2014, are indicative of the lower proportion of short-term (current)
borrowing reflected in the 2012/2013 annual accounts. This impact has been carried through to subsequent years.
7. The variance from the long-term plan in 2014/2015 cash and cash equivalents is due to a planned increase in the level of cash being
held for liquidity purposes.

Notes:
1. Prospective rates for 2014/2015 are lower than originally forecast in the long-term plan. This is due to a range of specific savings
initiatives and lower inflation projections, resulting in a lower rates requirement. For the purposes of this statement, rates includes rates
penalties income and are shown net of rates charged on property owned by the council group.
2. The decrease in 2014/2015 fees and user charges revenue compared to the long-term plan forecast is mainly as a result of lower
activity revenue on water and wastewater activities.
3. The decrease in payments to staff and suppliers is due to the combination of a range of specific savings initiatives and a lower average
rate of inflation than forecast in the long-term plan.

4. The decrease in finance cost for 2014/2015 is due to a lower average interest rate being budgeted on council borrowing compared to
that forecast in the long-term plan.
5. The increase in capital subsidies and grants is due to capital grants received for projects to be delivered in 2014/2015 that were
deferred from prior years.
6. The increase in debt is mainly due to increased cash holding and additional capital expenditure (see note 7 below).
7. The increase in capital expenditure is mainly due to increased spending planned on parks acquisitions and solid waste infrastructure.

Note to table:
1. The business properties in Devonport and State Highway 16 (Kumeu/Huapai/Helensville/Riverhead) areas are considering becoming
BIDs. Businesses in Mission Bay have also been invited to join the BID programme in order to fund the Mission Bay streetscape
upgrade. They will need to undertake ballots with the business ratepayers and owners and determine the budgets for these areas. The
Dominion Rd, Manukau Central, and Ōtāhuhu BID’s are investigating possible extensions to their existing BID boundaries. Ballots will
also be necessary to extend these BID boundaries. If the ballots are successful then these BIDs may subsequently adjust their
budgets. In these cases the council will assess the appropriate targeted rates to fund the budgets.

Notes:
1. Operating funding sources - increase in revenue is primarily due to a rise in the number of properties under management and the
outcome of rental reviews.
2. Application of operating funding - increase is primarily due to the increase in costs to manage additional commercial rental properties,
which is offset by increased rental revenue.
3. Application of capital funding - increase is primarily due to the deferral of capital projects from 2013/2014, in particular - Marine PrecinctDevelopment Yard 37 (Hobsonville).

Notes:
1. Operating funding sources - increase is primarily due to a change in dividend policy from AIAL from 90 per cent to 100 per cent and
also an increase in AIAL’s underlying profit.
2. Application of operating funding - decrease is primarily due to benefits gained from efficiencies associated with managing Auckland
Council’s investments and changes to the group debt funding application.

Foreshore Upgrade, Waiuku Sports Park and stage one of the Metropark Sports Field as well as an acceleration in the delivery of
additional sports field capacity.

Notes:
1. Application of operating funding - Increase is primarily due to the reallocation of efficiency targets which have been identified within
other activities.
2. Application of capital funding - decrease is due to council providing for the expected carry forward of undelivered capital expenditure. It
is unlikely that the full capital expenditure programme will be completed due to changes in the timing of delivery, reprioritisation and
constraints in council’s overall capacity to deliver.
7/21/2019 Draft Annual Plan 20142015 Volume 1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/draft-annual-plan-20142015-volume-1 186/276
Part III: Financial information
Significant forecasting assumptions
Significant forecasting assumptions Auckland Council’s significant forecasting assumptions and the risks associated with those assumptions are setout in Part IV of Volume Three of our Long-term Plan 2012-2022.
Where relevant, these assumptions have been reviewed and updated for this draft annual plan. The keyassumptions for 2014/2015 underlying the financial statements included in this plan are set out in the followingtable.
Auck land Counc i l 's key f o recast ing assumpt i ons fo r 2014/2015
Assumption
Inflation
Inflation rates for capital expenditure assumed for the draft annual plan are based on the inflation forecastsprepared by Business and Economic Research Limited (BERL) and range from 2.2 per cent to 3.3 percentdepending on the type of capital expenditure (e.g. roading, water or property).
The council has used 2.3 per cent inflator for staff costs and 1.0 per cent inflation for all other operatingexpenditure and revenue. However, for the purposes of this draft annual plan operating grants and subsidiesbudgets are not subject to the inflators.
Interest rates
In preparing this plan it is assumed that the council will maintain its AA credit rating. The council’s Treasurydepartment has then projected an average interest rate based on an assessment of market yields andanticipated borrowing requirements. For the 2014/2015 year the forecast average interest rate on councilborrowing is 5.65 per cent, and on cash holdings is 3 per cent.
Growth assumptions
The growth figures are based on the growth projections published in the council’s 2012-2022 Long-term Plan,apart from the economic growth projection for Auckland region which is based on updated BERL projections.
• Population growth – population will increase by around 23,250 people (1.49 per cent) to 1,579,846 in2014/2015
• Economic growth – 2.5 per cent annual change in the Auckland region’s GDP adjusted for inflation
• Development growth – dwellings are projected to increase by around 7,480 (1.4 per cent) to 525,070 in2014/2015
• Growth in the rating base – 1.28 per cent increase in capital values from property development.
Expected return on investments (i.e. dividends, return on shareholdings)
Dividends are forecast to be received from council’s investments held by Auckland Council Investments Limited(ACIL). Forecast ACIL dividends from its 22.35 per cent shareholding in Auckland International Airport Limited(AIAL) are based on market analyst forecasts. Dividends from ACIL’s 100 per cent shareholding in Ports of Auckland are based on a 75 per cent distribution of forecast after tax profit. AIAL has announced a proposal tobuy back 1 in 10 shares from its shareholders. If approved this would equate to a $102 million return to Auckland. This would replace the $18 million interim dividend planned in 2013/2014.
7/21/2019 Draft Annual Plan 20142015 Volume 1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/draft-annual-plan-20142015-volume-1 187/276
Part III: Financial information
Significant forecasting assumptions
Assumption
Timing of capital expenditure
This plan has been developed on the basis of the best available information of the likely timing of specific capitalprojects and programmes. These timing estimates are reflected in the activity statements presented in the planand the consequential impact of this is reflected in operating expenditure figures for the project’s relevant
activity.
In addition, Auckland Council has assumed that $168 million of capital expenditure will not be delivered within2014/2015 due to constraints on its overall capacity for capex delivery; this expenditure has been re-phasedover future years.
As Auckland Council does not yet know the projects that will comprise these amounts, they are shownseparately from the activity-specific information in this plan. Savings in interest and depreciation costsassociated with these assumed timing changes are however incorporated into the overall funding information.
Weathertightness claims
The council has considered the financial impact of weathertightness claims, including those already lodged and
potential claims which may arise under the government’s Weathertight Homes Financial Assistance Package.On the basis of an actuarial assessment, a provision was established for future weathertightness claims. Basedon an updated assessment, the council is forecasting net claim payments of $53 million in 2014/2015.
The cost of funding these settlements should not fall unfairly on ratepayers in the year of settlement. Ratherthan penalising current ratepayers with the full impact of these settlements, it is assumed they will be fundedfrom borrowings and the repayment of these borrowings spread over 30 years.

Part IV: Council-controlled organisations
Part IV: Council-controlledorganisations
Overview A council-controlled organisation (CCO) is a company or organisation in which the council controls 50 per centor more of the votes or the right to appoint 50 per cent or more of the directors or trustees. Auckland Councilhas seven substantive CCOs and nine non-substantive CCOs.
The primary role of Auckland Council is to develop policies, strategies, plans and regulations that drive the cityforward and help to achieve our goal of transforming Auckland into the world’s most liveable city. Council-controlled organisations (CCOs) are a way to manage council assets and services efficiently, using commercialdisciplines and specialist expertise, while allowing the council to focus on its core role.
Each CCO has its own specific objectives, but the Local Government Act 2002 identifies the principal objectiveof all CCOs. In summary, this is to:
• achieve the objectives of its shareholders
• be a good employer
• exhibit a sense of social and environmental responsibility
• conduct its affairs in accordance with sound business practice.
Auckland Council was set up under the Local Government (Auckland Council) Act 2009. The Act makes it clearthat decision-making is shared between the governing body and local boards. CCOs therefore need torecognise the unique nature of decision-making by council, including local boards, and carry out their businessaccordingly.
CCOs are accountable to the council, which agrees the objectives and targets for each CCO and also monitors
their performance via the CCO Governance and Monitoring Committee. The council, in turn, is accountable toratepayers and residents for the performance of the CCOs.
Work is proceeding through the Statement of Intent process to improve the ways in which CCOs demonstratetheir contribution to Māori outcomes.
The council's accountability policy for CCOs is described in Volume Five of the Long-term Plan 2012-2022.
To find out more about each of the CCOs, refer to their Statements of Intent, which can found on the council’swebsite. Go to Home> About council> Representatives and bodies>Council-controlled organisations.
The substantive CCOs
A substantive CCO is either responsible for the delivery of significant service or activity on behalf of the councilor owns or manages assets with a value of more than $10 million. The council has seven substantive CCOs:
• Auck land Transport (AT) - responsible for managing the region’s transport system. It provides all of Auckland’s transport requirements (except state highways and Auckland motorways) ranging from roadsand footpaths to traffic signals, and managing bus and train services and street parking.
• Auckland Counci l Property L imited (ACPL) - manages the “non-service” properties (properties that arenot immediately required for service delivery or infrastructure purposes), as well as commercial properties(operated to generate revenue for the council) on behalf of Auckland Transport and the council. Also workswith stakeholders in the housing and development sectors to develop affordable housing projects, anddevelop or initiate urban centre upgrades.
• Auckland Counci l Investments Limi ted (ACIL) – manages investments in Ports of Auckland Limited
(POAL), Auckland Film Studios Limited (AFSL), a large shareholding in Auckland International AirportLimited (AIAL), and manages the Diversified Financial Assets Portfolio. ACIL’s role is to support thecouncil’s vision of a robust, growing economy by bringing a strong commercial focus to the ownership andmanagement of the council’s investments, securing a good economic return for the benefit of ratepayers.

Notes:
1. The reduction in gross operating expenditure, and operating funding from Auckland Council results from changes to the underlying
inflation assumptions, inter-company transfers and rates reduction initiatives.
2. The ACPL financial information shown here is for the operations of ACPL, as a separate independent CCO. The increase in gross
operating expenditure and operating funding reflects increased personnel costs, which is offset by an increase in revenue in the
commercial property portfolio operations within the council parent. Financial information in respect of the commercial advisory and
property management services that ACPL provides to the group is included in the financial information for the council parent and
individual CCOs.
3. The reduction in gross operating expenditure and operating funding from council results from changes to the underlying inflation
assumptions and rates reduction initiatives.
4. Operating funding includes loans from Auckland Council to RFA ($0.7 million in 2014/2015) for the acquisition of elephants for the
Auckland Zoo. The reduction in gross operating expenditure and operating funding is primarily driven by a reduction in interest costs as
a result of the transfer of RFA’s debt to the council parent. The transfer of the debt to the council parent has no impact to the council
group financials. Other reductions result from changes to the underlying inflation assumptions and rates reduction initiatives.
5. ACIL requires no operating funding from Auckland Council as it generates operating surpluses which is returned to Auckland Council
by way of dividend. An increase in the dividend payable is due to a higher projected dividend pay-out from Auckland International Airport Limited (AIAL) as a result of a change in the dividend distribution policy from 90 per cent to 100 per cent and an increase in
AIAL’s underlying profit. A higher dividend pay-out from Ports of Auckland Limited is also projected.
6. The reduction in gross operating expenditure results from lower borrowing costs, and improved business efficiencies. Watercare
receives no operating funding from Auckland Council. Watercare receives the funding required for its operations through fees and
charges for services invoiced directly by Watercare to its customers.

Notes:
1. Capital funding from Auckland Council includes capital expenditure grant funding, increased equity investment and/or loans from
Auckland Council parent to a CCO.
2. The increase in Auckland Transport’s capital expenditure is primarily due to deferred budgeted capital expenditure on the City Rail Link
from prior years now being included in 2014/2015. The timing of the City Rail Link capital expenditure is currently being reviewed, and
any subsequent changes will be updated as part of the final annual plan.
3. The increase in Waterfront Auckland’s capital expenditure is due to the deferred budgeted capital expenditure for the Westhaven
Marina development and tram extension project from prior years.
4. The increase in RFA’s capital expenditure and capital funding is primarily due to additional renewals expenditure or the Aotea Centre
and the inclusion of the deferred 2013/2014 budgeted capital expenditure from the acoustics upgrade project at the Town Hall.
The non-substantive CCOs
The council also has nine non-substantive CCOs. These are smaller scale CCOs in terms of what they do, andtheir budgets. Unless exempt, they are still required to meet CCO governance and monitoring activities such ashalf-year and annual reports and Statements of Intent. The following three CCOs are required to complete theabove requirements:
• City of Manukau Educational Trust Auckland (COMET) - promotes and supports better education andtraining opportunities, especially for under-achieving communities across Auckland.
• Te Puru Community Charitable Trust - promotes and supports programmes and initiatives to meet therecreational, cultural and other community needs of the community in Beachlands / Maraetai. The trust'sprincipal role is the operation and management of the leisure facility at Te Puru Park in Maraetai.
• Pakuranga Arts and Cultural Trust - promotes the arts through ownership and management of the TeTuhi Centre for the Arts, a public gallery in Pakuranga which hosts local, national and international artexhibitions.
The following six non-substantive CCOs are exempt from the above requirements:
• Safer Papakura Trust.
• Highbrook Park Trust.
• Manukau Beautification Charitable Trust.
• Māngere Mountain Education Trust.
• Mount Albert Grammar School Community Swimming Pool Trust.
• Arts Regional Trust.

Rating policy
Part V: Rates related policiesThis section sets out how the council will set its rates for the 2014/2015 year. The rating policy explains thebasis on which each ratepayer’s rating liability will be assessed. In addition the section covers the calculation ofthe discount for the early payment of rates and how the rates transition management policy will apply.
Rating policy
Policy purpose and overview
The purpose of the rates policies is to outline how the council will apply its rates for 2014/2015. These policiesexplain how the rates will be assessed for each individual property to produce the rates requirement to fund thecouncil’s activities and how changes in levels of rates due to the implementation of the uniform rating policy willbe managed.
Policy backgroundThe 2014/2015 year is the third year of the council’s single uniform rating policy. The new rating policy appliesrates consistently across the region with similar value properties paying similar amounts of rates.
The implementation of the uniform rating policy resulted in significant changes in the levels of rates for someratepayers. The council acknowledged that large and sudden changes in rates may cause affordability issuesfor some ratepayers and therefore adopted a transition management policy to help manage the move to thesingle uniform rating system. The key features of the transition management policy are:
• residential and farm/lifestyle ratepayers will have changes in their rates (increases and decreases) cappedfor three years
• business ratepayers will move to a uniform rating policy over three years.
This approach slows the speed of increase for those whose rates will rise, and funds this by slowing the speedof decrease for those whose rates will fall.
Policy details
This section provides the details for each of the different rates and how they will be applied. For properties thathave rate increases or decreases outside the change limits in the transition management policy, an automaticadjustment to the rates may be applied.
How the incr ease in the rate requi rement is appl ied
The increase in the rate requirement will be split to maintain the proportion between the UAGC and the value-based general rate.
Unifor m annu al general ch arge (UAGC) and ot her f ix ed rates
The UAGC is a fixed rate that is used to fund general council activities. The council will apply the UAGC perseparately used and inhabited part (SUIP). The definition of a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit isset out in the following section.
Where two or more contiguous properties are owned by the same person or persons, and are used jointly as asingle unit, the ratepayer will be liable for only one uniform annual general charge.
The council will also set the following targeted rates which will have a fixed rate component:
• waste management targeted rate
• part of some Business Improvement District targeted rates

• Point Wells wastewater targeted rate
• Jackson Crescent wastewater targeted rate
• Riverhaven Drive targeted rate
• Waitākere rural sewerage targeted rate
• Ōtara-Papatoetoe swimming pool targeted rate• Māngere-Ōtāhuhu swimming pool targeted rate.
Funds raised by uniform fixed rates, which include the UAGC and any targeted rate set on a uniform fixed basis,cannot exceed 30 per cent of total rates revenue. The council is proposing to set its uniform charges below themaximum allowed level.
The council has proposed that a UAGC will be applied at $373.35 (including GST) per SUIP for 2014/2015. Thisis estimated to produce around $185.4 million (excluding GST) for 2014/2015 and equates to 13.4 per cent ofgeneral rates revenue and 12.5 per cent of total rates revenue. Revenue from all fixed charges (including theUAGC and targeted rates listed above) is estimated to produce $255.9 million excluding GST (17.2 per cent) ofits rates revenue in 2014/2015.
The definition of a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit
The council defines a separately used or inhabited part (SUIP) of a rating unit as ‘any part of a rating unit that isseparately used or inhabited by the ratepayer, or by any other person having a right to use or inhabit that part byvirtue of a tenancy, lease, licence or any other agreement’. For the purposes of this definition, parts of a ratingunit will be treated as separately used if they come within different differential categories, which are based onuse. An example would be a rating unit that has a shop on the ground floor (which would be rated as business)and a residence upstairs (rated as residential).
Rating units used for commercial accommodation purposes, such as motels and hotels, will be treated for ratingpurposes as having one separately used or inhabited part, unless there are multiple businesses within the ratingunit or another rating differential applies. Examples of how this might apply in practice are as follows:
• a business operating a motel on a rating unit will be treated for rating purposes as a single separately usedor inhabited part. If that rating unit also includes a residential unit, in which the manager or owner resides,then the rating unit will be treated for rating purposes as having two separately used or inhabited parts
• a hotel will be treated for rating purposes as a single separately used or inhabited part, irrespective of thenumber of rooms. If, on the premises, there is a florist business and a souvenir business, then the rating unitwill be treated for rating purposes as having three separately used or inhabited parts.
A similar approach applies to universities, hospitals, rest homes and storage container businesses. Vacant landwill be treated for rating purposes as having one separately used or inhabited part.
Properties that have licence to occupy titles, such as some retirement villages or rest homes, will be treated ashaving a separately used or inhabited part for each part of the property covered by a licence to occupy.
Value-based general rate
The value-based general rate is used to fund council activities that are deemed to generally and equally benefit Auckland and on activities which user pays are not applied. The value based general rate will be assessed oncapital value and is assessed by multiplying the capital value of a property by the rate per dollar that applies tothat ratepayer group.

Rates di f ferent i a ls
General and targeted rates can be charged on a differential basis. This means that a differential is applied to therate or rates so that some ratepayers may pay more or less than others with the same value property.
The council has defined its rates differential categories using land use and location. The definition for each ratesdifferential category is listed in the table below.

The long-term differential strategy
The council will apply a long-term differential strategy to its value-based general rate, lowering the differential forbusinesses over 10 years. The urban business differential ratio will be reduced by 0.1 per annum in 2014/2015,noting that changes in valuation may affect the calculation from time to time.
Moving to a lower differential for the business groups will involve progressively shifting some of the general
rates from business ratepayers to other ratepayers over the 10 years. About $11.1 million (excluding GST) willbe transferred in 2014/2015. The council considers that increases greater than this would be less affordable forsome residential ratepayers.
The Franklin business properties have a lower initial differential compared to other business properties. Thelong-term differential strategy does not apply to Franklin business properties until they reach parity with theother business differentials in 2015/2016.
The 2014/2015 period will be the second year of the application of the long term differential strategy. Thisreduces the urban business differential to 2.43 and the rural business differential to 2.19. It will also be thesecond year of the strategy to move the Franklin business differential in line with the business differential in therest of the region. This increases the urban Franklin business differential to 2.23 and the rural Franklin businessdifferential to 2.01.
The council also applies a lower rates differential to properties that are defined as rural, farm/lifestyle, and seaonly access properties.
The table below shows the rates differentials and rates in the dollar of capital value that the council proposes toapply in 2014/2015. This is estimated to produce around $1,195 million (excluding GST) for 2014/2015.

Targeted rates
Waste Management targeted rate
Background
The level of waste management services provided, the cost of providing those services, and how they arefunded varies across Auckland according to the policies of the former councils. The former councils useddiffering proportions of user charges, targeted rates and general rates to fund waste management services. Inmany cases waste management services are supplied to the council under contract by third party companies.The length of time that these contracts still have to run varies.
The council has developed a new solid waste strategy to be fully implemented by 2016. The strategy can befound in the Auckland Waste Management and Minimisation Plan on the council’s website. Until the regionalsolid waste strategy is implemented, the council will continue with the service levels provided within formercouncil boundaries. The public benefit component of the service cost is funded through the general rate. Thisproportion differs in each of the former council areas depending on the services provided. Where user chargesapplied formerly, these will continue. The balance of funding required to pay for the cost of providing serviceswithin each former council boundary will be met by targeted rates. These will differ for each former council area,depending on the level of service provided and the proportion of cost recovery through user charges.
Activi ties to be funded
The targeted rate for waste management is used to fund refuse collection and disposal services (including theinorganic refuse collection), refuse recycling and waste transfer stations.
How the rate will be assessed
For properties outside of the district of the former Auckland City Council where a service is provided oravailable, the targeted rate for waste management will be charged on a per SUIP basis. See the UAGC sectionprior for the council’s definition of a SUIP. Properties which have an approved alternative service will not becharged a targeted rate for waste management.
For properties within the district of the former Auckland City Council, the targeted rate for waste management
will be charged based of the number and type of services supplied to each rating unit. For rating units made upof one SUIP, the council will provide one refuse collection service. For rating units made up of more than oneSUIP, the council will provide the same service as was provided at 1 July 2014, unless otherwise informed bythe owner of the rating unit (that is, at least one refuse collection service, and up to a maximum of one refusecollection service per SUIP). If additional recycling services are supplied then the additional recycling servicerate will apply. Properties which have an approved alternative service will be charged the waste service chargethat excludes the approved alternative service or services.
The Waste management targeted rate in the former Auckland City Council area where both refuse and recyclingopt out applies is driven by the costs of the inorganic collection. The next inorganic collection is scheduled for2014/2015 and the council is proposing to re-introduce this targeted rate.
In the future, the level of the waste management targeted rate may be adjusted to reflect changes in the costs of
providing waste management services.The following table shows the waste management targeted rates that the council proposed to apply in2014/2015. This is estimated to produce around $68.3 million (excluding GST) for 2014/2015.

City Centre targeted rate
Background
The City Centre targeted rate is to help fund the development and revitalisation of the city centre. The rateapplies to business ratepayers in the City Centre area.
Activi ties to be funded
The City Centre redevelopment programme aims to enhance the city centre as a place to work, live, visit and dobusiness. It achieves this by providing a high-quality urban environment, promoting the competitive advantagesof the city centre as a business location, and promoting the city centre as a place for high-quality education,research and development. The programme intends to reinforce and promote the city centre as a centre for artsand culture, with a unique identity as the heart and soul of Auckland.
This targeted rate also funds the additional depreciation and operating expenditure for the higher quality assetsgenerated by the projects funded by the city centre targeted rate.
The planned expenditure under this programme is to be completed by 2015/2016, although this may occurearlier. The targeted rate would then reduce in 2016/2017 or once the programme is completed to a residualamount, to cover the additional depreciation and operational expenditure generated by the projects in the CityCentre redevelopment programme.

How the rate will be assessed
This targeted rate will apply to all business land, as defined for rating purposes, in the city centre. You can viewa map of the city centre area at www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rates or at any Auckland Council library or servicecentre.
The council proposes a rate in the dollar of 0.00211921 (including GST) of rateable capital value for 2014/2015.
This is estimated to produce around $20.4 million (excluding GST) for 2014/2015.
Business Improvement District targeted rate
Background
Business Improvement District (BID) programmes are areas within Auckland where local businesses haveagreed to work together, with support from the council, to improve their business environment and attract newbusinesses and customers. The funding for these initiatives comes from BID targeted rates, which thebusinesses within a set boundary have voted and agreed to pay to fund BID projects and activities.
Activi ties to be funded
The main objectives of the BID programmes are to enhance the physical environment, promote businessattraction, retention and development, and increase employment and local business investment in BID areas.The programmes may also involve community development, and are intended to identify and reinforce theunique identity of a place and to promote that identity as part of its development.
How liability will be assessed
The BID targeted rates will be applied to business land, as defined for rating purposes, that is located in definedareas in commercial centres outlined in the following table. For maps of the areas where the BID rates willapply, go to www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz/rates.
The BID targeted rates will be assessed using a fixed rate and value-based rate on the capital value of theproperty. Each BID area can decide to have part of its budget funded from a fixed rate of between $0 to $250
(including GST) per property. The remaining budget requirement will be funded from a value-based rate foreach area and be applied as a rate in the dollar. There will be a different rates for each BID programme.
The business properties in Devonport and State Highway 16 (Kumeu/Huapai/Helensville/Riverhead) areas areexploring whether the BID model is appropriate for their areas. Businesses in Mission Bay have also beeninvited to join the BID programme in order to fund the Mission Bay streetscape upgrade. If they decide toproceed, they will need to undertake ballots and determine the budgets for these areas. The Dominion Road,Manukau Central, and Ōtāhuhu BID’s are investigating possible extensions to their existing BID boundaries.Ballots will also be necessary to extend these BID boundaries. If the ballots are successful then these BIDs maysubsequently adjust their budgets. In these cases the council will assess the appropriate targeted rates to fundthe budgets.
The proposed budgets for each BID area shown in the table below are based on a 10 per cent increase on the
2013/2014 budgets. They do not reflect any decisions made by business associations on their proposedbudgets for 2014/2015. The proposed BID targeted rates budgets will be updated to reflect each businessassociation budget decision in time for the adoption of the Annual Plan and rates setting in June 2014.
The table below shows the budgets and proposed rates for each BID area that the council will apply in2014/2015. This is estimated to produce around $15.4 million (excluding GST) for 2014/2015.

Early payment and rates transition management policies
Early payment and rates transition managementpolicies
Application of early payment of rates policyThe council’s policy on the early payment of rates is to pass on to ratepayers the interest costs savings to thecouncil from receiving rates early. The level of the discount available is therefore based on council’s short termcost of borrowing. The discount is estimated to be 1.1 per cent for 2014/2015, but this will be confirmed whenthe annual plan is adopted in June 2014. The discount is available on the rates assessed in the 2014/2015financial year if those rates are paid in full, together with any outstanding prior years’ rates and penalties, on orbefore the due date of the first rates instalment (29 August 2014).
The full policy can be found on page 162 in volume three of the Long-term Plan 2012-2022.
Application of rates transition management policy
Overv iew of the pol i cy
The council has adopted a rates transition management policy that sets the maximum change in rating liabilitypermitted in relation to an unchanged rating unit. The policy applies for three years from 1 July 2012.
Rates increases for residential, farm or lifestyle, and sea only access properties are limited to no more than 10per cent of the previous year’s rates, for each year in which the policy applies. The cap on decreases must becalculated each year to ensure that the overall financial impact on the council is neutral. It is based on the finalbudget for the year and set by council resolution at the same time as the rates are set. The cap on ratesdecreases for the 2014/2015 year is estimated to be three per cent. The actual decrease cap set for 2014/2015may vary from this estimate in response to changes to the budget or underlying movements in values forqualifying properties.

Increase capped 56,194 11.7% -$0.01 to -$79,046
For business properties, rate changes have been phased in over three years. In 2014/2015 business properties
will be fully transitioned to their new levels of rates and no transition limit will apply.The transition management policy does not apply to properties that have changed in terms of the factors thatdetermine rates e.g. have undergone a subdivision, a change in use, or the construction or demolition ofbuildings. The council has adopted a remission scheme to assist ratepayers of some changed properties whoexperienced increases in rates due to the shift to the single uniform rating policy and would otherwise havebeen eligible for a transition adjustment. For more information on this scheme see the Rates remission andpostponement policy.
The full Rates transition management policy can be found on pages 165 to 167 in Volume three of the Long-term Plan 2012-2022.

Introduction
Part VI: Changes to fees and charges
Introduction
This section sets out the changes the council proposes to its regulatory fees and charges. The main area ofchange is health protection licensing. Building control fees have also been reviewed in line with an ongoingexercise to properly align costs with revenue and give as much certainty as possible to customers. This hasresulted in some, mostly minor, increases and decreases for 2014/2015.
Other changes to regulatory fees are driven by existing policies or arrangements adopted by the councilpreviously:
• The animal management fees, food premises licensing fees and solid waste bylaw licensing fees werereviewed by the council as part of its Annual Plan 2013/2014 and a decision was made to transition themtowards respective target levels. Increases to these fees for 2014/2015 will generally be greater than thecouncil rate of inflation.
• Other regulatory fees will generally be adjusted for the council rate of inflation, as provided for in the
council’s Revenue and financing policy.
The full schedule of changes to regulatory fees and charges for 2014/2015 is included later in this part.
Non-regulatory fees, apart from rental charges for social housing, will generally increase by the council rate ofinflation, subject to decisions by local boards on local activities fees. For 2014/2015, the inflation adjustor to beapplied to fees and charges is one per cent. One per cent is the average increase. Due to practical constraintssome fees will change by more or less than one per cent, and in some cases will remain the same.
Rental charges and the level of services for social housing for older persons vary across the region due to thedifferent policies of the former councils. This disparity will be addressed as part of the development of the Long-term Plan 2015-2025, in consultation with tenants and Auckland Council’s Senior Panel. For the 2014/2015 yearrental charges are proposed to increase by a uniform five per cent. This increase is more than the council rateof inflation, due to the fact that rentals have not been adjusted for at least three years and in some cases six
years. For most tenants the increase (after government assistance is factored in) would be no more than $4 aweek.
The schedules of non-regulatory fees will be published on the council’s website in late June 2014.

Part VI: Changes to fees and charges
Health protection licensing
Health protection licensing
Background
Auckland Council is responsible for licensing tattooing, body piercing, hair removal, indoor tanning and nail
services which have health and hygiene risks for consumers. On 27 June 2013 the council adopted a regionwide health and hygiene bylaw replacing eleven legacy bylaws. The new bylaw will become operational on 1July 2014.
The total number of premises to be licensed under the new bylaw will be around 1500 which includesapproximately 650 premises that are presently unlicensed.
Details of proposal
The council proposes to set three uniform licensing fees region wide:
Category of healthprotection licence
Descript ion Proposed licensing fee
(incl. GST)Single basic service Premises providing a single service which is categorised as being atrisk of breaking or burning skin
$240
Multiple basic services Premises providing more than one service which is categorised as
being at risk of breaking or burning skin
$300
High risk service(s) Premises providing one or more services which are categorised aspiercing the skin e.g. acupuncture, body piercing , derma rolling,electrolysis, extractions, red vein treatment, stamping, tattooing &traditional tattooing
$360(1)
Note:
1. The high risk fee is to be applied from 1 July 2015 after adjusting for council rate of inflation.
Due to system and resource constraints the fee for licensing high risk premises cannot be implemented in2014/2015. This fee will be applied from 1 July 2015. In the period between 1 July 2014 and 30 June 2015, highrisk premises will be registered as either providing a single basic service or multiple basic services and becharged the relevant fee. Other fees will be effective from 1 July 2014.
Reasons for proposal
The council proposes to set uniform fees across the region. The services provided under the new bylaw will bethe same irrespective of location. The costs for inspections are similar for all the similar activities covered by thebylaw. The costs are slightly higher for premises undertaking more than one regulated activity, and where theactivity is categorised as high risk (e.g. skin piercing). The proposed fee structure reflects these main costdrivers as well as the regionally consistent regulation approach.
Licensing and the associated administrative activities are predominantly private good in nature and the costsshould be recovered primarily via user charges. The proposed recovery rate for health protection licensing costsis 90 per cent.
For the 850 premises presently licensed, the proposed fee changes to single and multiple basic services areminimal. The proposed increases for high risk services range between $18 and $76 per annum.
The 650 premises that are currently unlicensed will be subject to a new fee. These are located in the formerRodney, Franklin, Manukau and Papakura districts where the legacy bylaws did not require licensing. As the feechanges are not large no transition arrangements are proposed.

Health protection licensing
Options considered
The council considered retaining the existing fee structure but rejected this on the basis that the same priceshould be set where the bylaw requirements and the services provided are the same.
ConsultationHealth protection licensing fees are regulatory fees set with regard to matters provided for in a bylaw. Accordingly the council is required to consult on them using the special consultative procedure. This isundertaken alongside the draft Annual Plan 2014/2015.
There is also targeted consultation on the proposed changes, with letters sent out to each of the affectedpremises seeking their feedback and submission to the draft annual plan.

Schedule of regulatory fees and charges
Administration, Monitoring and Supervision (AMS) charges andFunctions, Powers and Duties (FPD) charges
Background
• Section 36 of the Resource Management Act (RMA) provides guidance on the charges payable by consentholders of resource consents, for the carrying out by the local authority of its functions in relation to theadministration, monitoring and supervision of resource consents, and for the carrying out of its resourcemanagement functions under section 35.
• In order to achieve a fair and equitable sharing of the financial cost of this function the council has evaluatedits functions and decided what proportion of each work programme and consent related activity should berecovered directly from individuals (either holders of resource consents, consent applicants or peoplecausing environmental degradation), and what should be funded by the community at large through generalrates. These funding decisions are made in accordance with section 36 of the RMA, and are set out in theRevenue and financing policy section of the Auckland Council Long-term Plan 2012-2022.
• This schedule sets out the proposed charges for monitoring and supervision and functions, powers and
duties (annual charges) for the period 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2015.
Key def in i t ion s
• Administration, Monitoring and Supervision (AMS) Charges.
• The AMS charges cover the cost of undertaking compliance monitoring inspections, reporting andadministration associated with ensuring activities are carried out in accordance with consent conditions.This charge will vary between consents.
• Functions, Powers and Duties (FPD) Charges.
• The FPD charges cover consent holder contributions to Council’s State of the Environment monitoringprogrammes, environmental research and investigations, educational and advisory programmes as
provided for under section 35 of the RMA.
• AR refers to actual and reasonable cost.
• CMPD refers to cupid metre per day; CMP YR refers to cupid metre per year.

Food premises l i censing
As approved by the council during the Annual Plan 2013/2014 process, licensing fees for food premises will bestandardised across the region over a period of five years (2013/2014 – 2017/2018), with cost recovery rate forthe food licensing service increasing from 63 per cent to 90 per cent over the period. The detailed transitionpathway for each of the existing fees was included in the draft Annual Plan 2013/2014 for consultation. Thisincluded changes proposed to each fee for each of the five years during transition. For 2014/2015 the council isproposing no change to the fees consulted on. The tables below show the fees for 2014/2015 (the second yearof the transition period) as included in the draft Annual Plan 2013/2014, with the exception of fees that havereached the cost recovery target in which case they are reduced slightly to reflect the council’s latest inflationforecasts. The fee levels vary depending on which former council area the premises are located in.
Premises that have a registered Voluntary Implementation Programme – Food Control Plan with council will becharged an annual fee based on the risk rating of the food premises (determined by Council) and using theGrade category they achieve in the previous year.

The fee structures for all other environmental health and bylaw licensing services (except liquor licensing) areproposed to be maintained for 2014/2015 with a small increase to all fees to reflect the cost of inflation (one percent). These are based on fee structures inherited from the seven former councils. Fees applied within a formercouncil boundary are displayed below under that former council heading. These fees are proposed to beregionally consolidated in the future.
The liquor licensing fees are currently set by the government. The Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act was passedin December 2012, and has replaced the Sale of Liquor Act 1989. The new act will affect the way that alcohol issold, supplied and consumed across New Zealand. Licensing fees will also change to include an annual fee andpremises will be charged according to the cost/risk category that they fall under.

Part VII: Appendices
How the organisation is structured
The council has a two-tier governance structure, with shared decision-making. The two tiers are:• the governing body, consisting of the mayor and 20 councillors
• 21 local boards.
Auckland Council also has council-controlled organisations (CCOs) to carry out certain functions and provideservices. They are independent in their operations but are accountable to the council.
The Independent Māori Statutory Board (IMSB) is an independent board established by the Local Government(Auckland Council) Amendment Act 2010.
There are also eight advisory panels that advise the council on its strategies, policies, plans and bylaws andmechanisms for engagement.
The governing body
This consists of the mayor and 20 councillors who are elected on a ward basis. The governing body focuses onthe big picture and on Auckland-wide strategic decisions that are important to the whole region. Auckland is splitinto 13 wards, which are used for council elections. Councillors are elected to represent wards and they also siton council committees. Our councillors’ contact details can be found on the next page.
The Mayor

Local boards
There are 21 local boards, with a purpose to enable democratic decision-making by, and on behalf of, theircommunities and promote the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being in their area.
Key responsibilities of local boards include:
• a voice of their community to the governing body;• advocate and have input into governing body and CCO decisions, policies and strategies that will impact
across the region, including the long term plan and annual plans;
• develop and propose local bylaws for adoption by the governing body;
• provide leadership and create a strong local identity for their area, including making decisions onmanagement and use of a range of local activities and facilities (such as parks, community halls andswimming pools);
• perform civic duties (such as ANZAC Day activities and citizenship ceremonies);
• carry out other responsibilities delegated by the governing body and CCOs.
Each year, local boards and the governing body agree individual local board agreements, which state what willbe done over that period, including targets and activities. The agreements for 2014/2015 are included in thisannual plan. Detailed information on the key priorities and budgets allocated to each local board can be found inVolume 2 of this annual plan.
