Quarter one performance reports 2022/2023 for substantive council-controlled organisations and Ports of Auckland Limited
File No.: CP2022/16183
Te take mō te pūrongo
Purpose of the report
1. To receive a high-level summary of the substantive Council-Controlled Organisation (CCO) and Ports of Auckland Limited (POAL) first quarter reports (period ending 30 September 2022).
Whakarāpopototanga matua
Executive summary
2. Under Auckland Council’s accountability framework, each substantive CCO must provide a quarterly report to the relevant committee. The reports for the first quarter of 2022/2023 are contained in Attachments A to C and are measured against the updated (previous) 10-year Budget and the 2022-2025 Statements of Intent (SOIs).
3. Under the Memorandum of Understanding between POAL and Auckland Council, and the Statement of Corporate Intent, POAL is required to provide a quarterly report to the council as shareholder. The report for the first quarter of 2022/2023 is contained at Attachments D.
4. The table below summarises the key matters for consideration from the quarter one reports:
Key points from Q1 report |
|
Eke Panuku |
· Eke Panuku net operating budget was $4.3 million favourable to budget, driven by the favourable financial results from the council property portfolio managed by Eke Panuku. Capital spend was $13 million (66 per cent against year-to-date budget). · Eke Panuku noted they have had a solid start to the year, reflected in their urban regeneration and property portfolio business to date and progress on significant projects planned for the year. · Eke Panuku has 12 performance measures of which 9 are on track to meet their targets and 3 have not been measured this quarter. |
Tātaki Auckland Unlimited |
· Tātaki Auckland Unlimited had a net direct expenditure of $26.4 million, which was $2.9 million favourable to budget, due to changes in the timing of planned programming, with lower expenditure and better than expected event revenues. Capital spend was $6.9 million (38 per cent against year-to-date budget). · After COVID-19 related restrictions hampered much of its operations over 2021/2022, TAU was finally able to operate at full capacity and without any restrictions in quarter one of 2022/2023. · TAU is looking forward to providing Aucklanders and visitors an event-rich and vibrant summer season and local businesses can finally welcome all international visitors. · TAU has 11 SOI performance measures of which eight are on track to being achieved and three have not been measured this quarter. |
Watercare |
· Watercare’s direct revenue was $6.8 million lower than budgeted, reflecting lower revenue from development. Direct expenditure was over budget by $4 million due to higher contractor costs and additional maintenance costs after weather events. Capital spend was $176.4 million (98.7 per cent against year-to-date budget). · The Citizens Assembly deliberated and reached a consensus to recommend recycled wastewater as the preferred future water source to the Watercare board, and for Watercare to undertake significant public education to address any concerns over water quality. · Onehunga water treatment plant was closed in October 2022 to ensure the new PFAS (per-and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances) standards by the water quality regulator Te Arowai are consistently met. The closure impacts negatively on water supply diversity, a key shift highlighted in the Auckland Water Strategy. · Watercare staff turnover stands at 18.7%. Attraction and retention of personnel is a key risk for significant programmes like the Central Interceptor. |
Ports of Auckland Limited |
· This is the first quarterly report after the reset of the business under new leadership. Some tangible steps have been taken to achieve performance improvements. Council will monitor the progress and results of the reset. · Net profit after tax for the first quarter is approximately $3 million more favourable than budget, primarily due to higher container transport and storage revenue as well as breakbulk revenue. · Capital delivery is currently below budget due to timing differences between the plan and the actual spend. Full year spend forecast is $49 million, in line with the latest Statement of Corporate Intent projection. · Key non-performance productivity measures are behind target for quarter one due to unplanned staff absences, bad weather, and the poor condition of some ships. · POAL is making progress on a range of safety and wellbeing initiatives post CHASNZ review. |

Analysis and advice
Eke Panuku
8. Eke Panuku has been tracking well against its net operating budget for the first quarter ($4.3 million favourable to budget), driven by the favourable financial results from the council property portfolio managed by Eke Panuku. Operating funding draw down from council was therefore less than budgeted.
9. Direct revenue is slightly favourable to budget largely due to additional rental income from tenancies (e.g. Bledisloe House and some additional properties in Hobsonville and New Lynn) that have extended their renting period for longer than anticipated when the budget was set.
10. Direct expenditure is $3.8 million favourable compared to budget primarily due to timing delays in expenditure such as rates expense, professional services and repair and maintenance cost. Most of these costs are still expected to be incurred later this year with potential savings to be assessed as the year progresses.
11. Capital expenditure is $13 million against a year-to-date budget of $19.7 million (66 per cent). The delivery is behind mainly due to a delay in acquisition that is going through public works negotiation in Pukekohe. Timing differences between the actual spend and budget phasing for construction works in Waiwharariki Anzac Square as well as delays due to dependencies on Eke Panuku’s development partners in Avondale and Ormiston also contributed to the lower than planned delivery.
12. Eke Panuku has 12 performance measures of which 5 are 10-year Budget measures. Nine of the 12 measures are tracked quarterly, two are tracked annually (surveys) and one will not be measured this year.
13. Performance measures that are on track include the number of net new dwellings built, square meters of public realm projects, capital project milestones and asset sales. Managed portfolio and marina results are also ahead of year-to-date budgets.
14. Due to programme changes following reforecasts, the target that will not be measured this year is the completion of 1,000 square meters of commercial / retail gross floor area (GFA) or net lettable area. This means no projects have been planned for completion this year. The reforecast relates to change in market conditions since the 10-year budget was set, affecting demand for retail and office space planned. This target is part of a wider 10-year Budget target of 30,000 square meters over the first three years of the 10-year Budget. Eke Panuku are evaluating whether this three-year target can be met and will provide an update on this in quarter two reporting.
15. Urban regeneration highlights for the quarter include:
· completed projects - Manukau’s Wiri walking and cycling bridge, additional carparking spaces in Avondale and new safety balustrade in the Waterfront
· appointing a design consortium to progress the Te Ara Tukutuku Plan (Wynyard Point). The consortium will work on the public realm design of Wynyard Point.
· engagement on the Pukekohe Masterplan with the Pukekohe community, supported by the Franklin Local Board
· significant community events were Haumi, a celebration of Wynyard Quarter’s 11th anniversary and Matariki ki Uta in Manukau (led by iwi)
· updated selecting development partners policy, which will support wider participation, innovation and revenue and provide greater clarity on commercial opportunities for mana whenua.
16. Property portfolio management highlights for the quarter include:
· West Haven Marina won the New Zealand Marina of the Year Award and is the first New Zealand marina to receive Gold Anchor accreditation.
17. Eke Panuku have noted the deterioration of the property market, including lower confidence from the private sector on land sales. This is due to significant cost increase for construction materials due to inflation, increasing interest rates and weaker purchaser interest in residential product given concerns over housing prices and availability of credit. A weakened property market will impact on Eke Panuku’ ability to meet property sale, and housing and commercial development targets. Other risks include material supply, delays with statutory planning processes and staff availability.
18. The Human Rights Review Tribunal hearing in relation to the former Tavern Lane site development in Papatoetoe between Auckland Council/Eke Panuku and Ngai Tai Waipareira Housing concluded in June 2022. The Tribunal findings are yet to be released.
19. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited had a net direct expenditure of $26.4 million for the first quarter of this financial year, which is $2.9 million favourable to budget. This favourable variance is primarily due to changes in the timing of planned programming, which lead to lower expenditure and better than expected event revenues.
20. Direct revenue is $13.4 million favourable to budget due largely to the unbudgeted NZ Government Activate and Reactivate Tāmaki Makaurau programme, alongside better than expected event revenues.
21. Direct expenditure is $10.5 million unfavourable to budget, which is due to the corresponding unbudgeted Activate and Reactivate Tāmaki Makaurau expenditure. This expenditure is fully covered by the government grant revenue provided for the programme with a positive financial benefit to TAU at the net programme level.
22. Capital spend is $6.9 million for the first quarter of the year, against a September year-to-date budget of $18.3 million (38 per cent). The lower capital delivery as noted by TAU is due to delays in securing labour as a result of the abundance of work in the market. Material and construction cost escalation has also led to extended business casing period and delayed the commencement of capital works.
23. TAU has 11 SOI measures, of which 7 are 10-year Budget measures. Eight of the 11 measures are tracked quarterly, one is a six-monthly measure and two are annual measures.
24. At the end of quarter one, eight performance measures are on track to being achieved and three have not been measured. These three measures are:
· percentage of Auckland residents surveyed who consider that Tātaki Auckland Unlimited programmes, events and exhibitions enrich their lives (reported annually). The target for this measure is 70 per cent, which TAU has met or exceeded for the past three years
· attributable value of private sector investment secured during the year (reported six-monthly)
· percentage change in greenhouse gas emissions against 2018/19 baseline (reported annually).
25. Highlights for quarter one include:
· a steady increase in visitation numbers across all TAU venues and events since the NZ borders were fully reopened on 31 July (including the maritime border). The COVID-19 Protection Framework (traffic lights) was removed on 13 September. TAU venues welcomed over 500,000 ticketed attendees over the quarter.
· Auckland Stadiums enjoyed a busy return to event activity throughout quarter one including four New Zealand Warriors matches and Listen In at Mt Smart – as well as NPC rugby and Chatham Cup / Kate Shepherd Cup football at North Harbour Stadium.
· TAU’s refurbishment of Te Pokapū Aotea Centre was recognised at the Property Industry Awards by winning Merit in the Civic, Health & Arts Category.
· 20 July marked one year to go until the opening match of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 at Eden Park. To mark the milestone, city landmarks lit up the night sky with imagery featuring in national and international media.
· TAU supported the return to Auckland of the World Rally Championship which kicked off on 29 September. Seventeen stages were hosted across the region, including special stages at Auckland Domain and Jacks Ridge.
26. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited has highlighted that even though the borders have re-opened, some key issues remain of concern, including hospitality staffing shortages, rising costs, delays, and the slow burn return of tourism and associated revenue and visitor numbers.
27. Auckland’s reputation as a screen friendly city is a risk flagged again by TAU, as it becomes increasingly difficult for location shoots to take place due to permit regulations. TAU is seeking a Plan Change in the Auckland Unitary Plan which will reflect the needs of all stakeholders.
Watercare
28. Watercare’s net direct revenue is $142.2 million, $10.8 million unfavourable to budget for the first quarter of the year.
29. Direct revenue is $6.8 million unfavourable to budget due mainly to lower than budgeted infrastructure growth charges revenues, some of which was paid by developers in the last quarter of financial year 2021/2022. Commercial water consumption is also lower than the plan for the period, which is partially offset by the additional operating grant received from Kāinga Ora for shovel ready projects.
30. Direct expenditure is unfavourable to budget by around $4 million primarily due to higher than budgeted use of contracted labour and unplanned spend on repair and maintenance in response to extreme weather events in the first quarter.
31. Capital delivery is $176.4 million (98.7 per cent) against a year-to-date budget of $178.7 million, the slight underspend is driven by delays in material delivery for the Central Interceptor Project. Watercare expect the delivery to catch up in the remaining months and forecast the total spend for the year still to be in line with the annual budget.
Performance measures and other issues
32. Watercare has a total of 33 SOI measures, including 14 that are also measures in the 10-year Budget (LTP).
33. The four measures which target was not met or on track in the quarter were:
· response time for attendance for urgent call-outs (drinking water) - 61 minutes year-to-date median compared with a target of less than 60 minutes
· response time for attendance at sewerage overflows - 78 minutes year-to-date median compared with a target of less than 60 minutes. This target has consistently not been met in recent years, although the target for resolving overflows in under five hours has been met.
· the number of wet weather overflows - an average of 2.21 per discharge location compared within a target of less than two a year. This was influenced by storms in July.
· the target total recordable injury frequency rate (TRIFR) per million hours worked was lowered to less than ten in 2022/23 but was 16.11 in the quarter. With a large capital programme underway, health and safety remains a focus for Watercare.
34. Drinking water quality measures have been consistently met by Watercare. Enhanced monitoring of water quality by Taumata Arowai comes into effect on 14 November 2022 with new Drinking Water Standards, Drinking Water Quality Assurance Rules, and Aesthetic Values.
35. Highlights and key progress for quarter one include:
· high rainfall in the quarter has resulted in full dams prior to summer
· Hunua 4 watermain was completed and bought into service in the quarter to cater for population growth and provide additional resilience to the water supply network
· mediation with appellants to the Huia Water Treatment Plant replacement has been held and is scheduled to continue to 2023
· Watercare opened a new training centre to support industry training for staff and contractors.
36. The Citizens Assembly deliberated and reached a consensus to recommend recycled wastewater as the preferred future water source to the Watercare board. The assembly also recommended Watercare undertake significant public education to address any concerns over water quality. The work of the assembly supports the Empowered Aucklanders shift of the Auckland Water Strategy and decisions on future water sources is an area of high interest for the council.
37. Waikato-Tainui has dropped its appeal against the Board of Inquiry decision to grant Watercare consent to draw an additional 150 million litres of water a day from the Waikato River. One of the conditions requires Watercare to establish an executive committee or board to investigate and address options for the reduction of reliance on the awa by Watercare, including identifying alternative water sources, and invite representation from tangata whenua onto that executive committee. Watercare are continuing discussions with Te Whakakitenga o Waikato Inc and council should continue to closely monitor progress in this area.
38. An update on the government’s Finance and Expenditure Select Committee’s report on the Water Services Entities Bill was provided in a memo to elected members on 17 November 2022. Further legislation required to complete the three waters reforms is expected before the end of the year.
39. Settlement of COVID-19 claims have resulted in a six-month delay to the Central Interceptor wastewater tunnel with the completion date now extended to June 2026. The Central Interceptor programme remains within budget but inflationary pressures are a key risk.
40. Health and safety risks are significant and there was a serious incident at a Central Interceptor site in September. Watercare management are working with the contractor on the review of the investigation.
41. Watercare staff turnover stands at 18.7 per cent. Attraction and retention of personnel is a key risk for significant programmes like the Central Interceptor.
42. Concerns about council’s autonomy during transition to the new water entities have not, in the main, been addressed in the Water Services Entities Bill, leaving decisions on functions and assets to be transferred largely to the establishment entities.
Ports of Auckland Limited
43. This is the first quarterly report after POAL’s reset of the business under their new leadership. The reset includes a shift in the strategic direction to focus on core business and delivery. POAL aim to fix container operations, simplify the business operations and structure, and institute strong capital discipline and fiscal prudence. This is all with the end goal of significantly improving the previous poor performance and providing a better return to the council shareholder. Performance reporting for this financial year will closely monitor the progress and results of the reset.
44. POAL note tangible steps towards the business reset with a company-wide restructure, which resulted in 30 roles disestablished (mainly in the head office), the introduction of a revised senior leadership team, and the creation of a Project Management Office to meet a recommendation of the independent report into the automation project.
45. A key focus for POAL’s reset is on improving the performance of the container business. Quarter one has produced results below targets which are discussed below. Work is ongoing in this area and POAL confirm that improving container terminal productivity remains a key focus.
46. A key milestone that the council will be looking for is POAL’s aim to recommence berth windows by March 2023. POAL have undertaken engagement with container lines to identify preferred windows and exchange sizes and are working with Ports of Tauranga, Napier, and Lyttelton.
47. POAL’s operating revenue is ahead of budget with a favourable variance of $4 million for the first quarter. This is largely driven by strong transport and storage revenue and higher than budgeted breakbulk revenue, which more than offset lower revenue from the container business.
48. Direct operating expense is $3 million higher than budget primarily due to increased costs to support the increased transport and storage revenue.
49. Net profit after tax is approximately $3 million higher than budget by the end of September 2022. The full-year forecast remains at $35 million per its Statement of Corporate Intent 2022-2025 projection.
50. Capital expenditure is $8.5 million for the three-month period, against a budget of $15.8 million (54 per cent of delivery) mainly due to timing and phasing differences between the plan and actual spend. Two large areas of capital spend planned for the first quarter relate to replacement straddles and the electric tug.
51. Several key performance targets relating to the container business are not on track for Q1:
· percentage of ships turned on time was 30.3 per cent - well below the target of 75 per cent
· crane rate (as measured by MOT) was 24.1 - just below the target of 25
· ship rate (as measured by MOT) was 42.5 - below the target of 50
· TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Unit) throughput (000’s) was 8.5 per cent below target for quarter one.
52. Crane and ship rates are not on target leading to ongoing delays for ships and lower container volumes (the “TEU” metric). Reasons for the poor performance include continued unplanned staff absences, bad weather, and poor conditions of some ships.
53. Key targets that are on track include:
· Container Terminal – Truck turnaround time (% turned at less than 30 minutes) - 83.3 per cent above the target of 75 per cent
· multi-cargo average car dwell time (days) - 1.87 better than target of 2.1 days
· percentage of land-side moves on rail - 15.5 per cent above target of 14 per cent
54. As requested by the council, benchmarking is a new reporting feature from POAL for FY22/23. The benchmarking for quarter one shows POAL is behind Tauranga and Lyttelton in the main performance metrics. This will be something to monitor in the assessment of the business reset.
55. POAL is making progress on a range of safety and wellbeing initiatives post CHASNZ review including fatigue risk management, identifying critical risk activities and a set of “Life Savers” (non-negotiable controls) established for each and working with port industry and unions on national safety initiatives.
56. The new electric tug “Sparky” is in commercial service and exceeding expectations. Sparky was named as one of TIME Magazine’s Best Inventions for 2022.
57. POAL reached agreement with the two appellants against the capital dredging and sea disposal consents. The appellants are withdrawing all appeals and in return POAL will contribute money towards projects that will enhance the health of the harbour and Hauraki Gulf.
58. The Pacific Explorer berthed 12 August, the first international cruise ship in two and a half years. POAL are on target for having cruise operations fully reinstated in quarter two.
Issues / risks
59. POAL identify congestion in the global supply chain as an ongoing issue. Overall supply chain remains congested with ‘lumpiness of flow’ due to wider disruptions offshore. Supply chain costs continue to rise and inflationary pressure starting to bite which is expected to slow up the flow of import volumes over the next 6 months.
60. Staffing levels in the container terminal also remain as a predominant risk, however further stevedoring recruitment and training are currently progressing well.
Tauākī whakaaweawe āhuarangi
Climate impact statement
61. The quarterly performance reports are a key tool to monitor the progress of each CCO in action on climate change. The CCOs quarterly reports contain commentary on activities relating to climate change. Aspects of note are discussed below.
62. Eke Panuku continue to implement actions in their climate change strategy. Actions in the quarter include:
· finalising the carbon emissions inventory for FY22 as part of work on Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
· completing research on the carbon benefits of living in higher density homes in town centres. The modelling found that the carbon emissions from a household living in an apartment in a town centre, compared to a typical Auckland household, are lower by 14 per cent, saving 1.2t CO2/year/household (11 per cent reduction in travel related emissions and 34 per cent reduction in household energy related emissions).
63. TAU is now CarbonReduce certified for the second year, and CarbonZero for the Zoo for the 7th year. The Climate Connect Aotearoa website is near completion. The cost of ‘transition to low carbon for Tāmaki Makaurau’ modelling work is complete. The report is to be published in quarter two.
64. Watercare's greenhouse gas emissions have increased five per cent annually to a total of 107,898 tCO2e, due to growth in wastewater volumes and water take from the Waikato. This increase is broadly in line with projections, with decreases in emissions expected after 2025 to meet council's emissions reduction goal of 50 per cent by 2030. Watercare's annual emissions data was verified by Toitu-Envirocare in July.
65. Watercare’s proactive leak management programme has surveyed approximately 13,290 kms since 2020 and found 8,059 leaks. Fixing these leaks and minimising water loss helps Auckland be prepared for future droughts.
66. One of POAL’s sustainability pillars is a commitment to genuine harbour health. POAL are developing a number of programmes to support this commitment in conjunction with iwi and are currently focusing on installing living seawalls and mussel habitat within the port. Initiatives are also underway to reduce staff waste to landfill and review of waste to landfill from across the port.
Ngā whakaaweawe me ngā tirohanga a te rōpū Kaunihera
Council group impacts and views
68. Each CCOs quarterly report contains information on how they are contributing to the council’s outcomes and objectives.
Ngā whakaaweawe ā-rohe me ngā tirohanga a te poari ā-rohe
Local impacts and local board views
69. The governance of substantive CCOs is a responsibility delegated to the CCO Oversight Committee. The views of local boards have not been sought. CCOs provide six-monthly progress and performance reports to local boards. The quarterly reports also provide a summary of the engagement that CCOs have carried out with local boards during the quarter.
Tauākī whakaaweawe Māori
Māori impact statement
70. Each CCO reports on their contribution towards achieving Māori Outcomes in their quarterly report. Aspects of note are discussed below.
71. Eke Panuku have continued engagement with mana whenua partners on projects across the business, including the biannual Rangatira ki te Rangatira hui with mana whenua in September. Te Ara Tukutuku (the masterplan for Wynyard Point) continues to be a significant project for Eke Panuku and mana whenua, including engagement and design. Two properties have been presented to mana whenua as commercial opportunities and the Eke Panuku board have updated the selecting development partners policy, which will increase the weighting of Māori outcomes.
72. Among its many activities contributing to Māori outcomes, highlights include the launch of Taki, a TAU-developed Māori learning app. The app is the ultimate resource for improving staff’s te reo journey and to build knowledge of tikanga. The app can be downloaded through App Stores. A sold-out Tāmaki Herenga Waka, Herenga Tāngata HAKAngahau 2022 took place on 30 July in Spark Arena. More than 500 kapa haka performers took to the stage in the first live kapa haka showcase in Tāmaki Makaurau since 2020. TAU co-ordinated the event on behalf of the Council whānau.
73. Watercare signed a partnership agreement with Te Kawerau ā Maki committing to work together, which supports mana outcomes Kia Ora te Hononga (Effective Māori Participation), Kia Hāngai te Kaunihera (An Empowered Organisation) and Kia Ora te Taiao (Kaitiakitanga). Watercare has nine relationship agreements with mana whenua in Tāmaki Makaurau and Waikato.
74. Watercare's supply chain has 2.14 per cent of procurement sourced through Māori owned businesses, exceeding the two per cent target. Watercare are supporting the MSD Skills for Industry Programme, which aims to help long-term unemployed jobseekers into full-time employment and has a focus on supporting Māori and Pasifika businesses. This aligns to priorities within Kia Ora te Rangatahi (Realising Rangatahi Potential) and Kia Ora te Umanga (Māori Business, Tourism and Employment).
75. POAL’s Board approved the Taura Herenga Waka (Māori Outcomes Framework) on 21 September. A Runanga has been formed to support the achievement of the Whanaungatanga pillar of the Regaining our Mana strategy and the delivery of the objectives of the Taura Herenga Waka. The Runanga has a vision, purpose and structure developed through high participation, designed to deliver the Taura Herenga Waka and embed its function into Whanaungatanga. The structure of the Runanga is a Taumata (leadership) and 4 Rōpū (working parties), each with clear objectives:
· Promotion and Ambassadorship
· Te Reo and Te Ao Guardianship and Education
· Māori Outcomes and Iwi Relations
· Embedding Whanaungatanga Values and Principles.
76. The Taumata presented the Taura Herenga Waka to the Independent Māori Statutory Board Secretariat in September. The Secretariat reported on this meeting and provided an update to the Independent Māori Statutory Board at their October meeting.
