Resolution number FIN/2017/9
MOVED
by Chairperson R Clow, seconded by Deputy Mayor B Cashmore:
That the Finance and
Performance Committee:
a) note
the following highlights and achievements for the period 1 October 2016 to 31
December 2016:
i) in
partnership with central government, the council has finalised an extension
to the existing Auckland Housing Accord to enable a small number of Special
Housing Area applicants to complete their plan variations.
ii) the Love Food Hate Waste initiative launched at Britomart in
November with a demonstration of the scale of food waste in Auckland.
The campaign, which aims to get people to make a commitment to change that
leads to less edible food ending up in the bin/rubbish bag, has generated
significant public interest at events and on social media. At the
conclusion of the three-year campaign an in-depth survey will be carried out
to measure awareness, changes in behaviour and whether less food waste is
ending up in bins.
b) note
the Auckland Council parent performance results for the period 1 July 2016 to
31 December 2016, highlighting:
i) that
65 per cent of the Long-term Plan (LTP) performance measures have achieved
the targets set in the LTP or achieved a result close to target.
ii) the
net operating financial results are on track compared to budget, with a $15 million
favourable variance to budget.
iii) capital
expenditure delivery performance is generally on track with a $188 million
investment completed for the six month period, with some delays expected in
the delivery of the full programme budgeted for the year.
