Changes to the capital works programme by activity group
The capital works programme outlined in the Long Term Plan includes a substantial investment in a variety of projects. For the Annual Plan 2022/23, there have been several changes where projects have been re-phased.
There have also been requirements that have been identified since the LTP and some projects which are no longer required. The table below outlines key changes made to 2022/23.
Changes over $500,000 to a project between Long Term Plan Year 2 and Annual Plan 2022/23.
CITY STRATEGY
Taken out of 22/23 budgets:
- $500k taken out of 22/23 for parking technology upgrade as it was brought forward into 2021/22. The roll out of the upgrade this financial year meant that the budget needed to be consolidated into this year to pay the supplier.
WASTEWATER
Added in to 22/23 budgets:
- $933k for repairs to the Pandora Industrial Main brought into 22/23 from 21/22. The timing of the project has been adapted to match the spend projection of this work.
STORMWATER
Added in to 22/23 budgets:
- $600k brought forward from 29/30 and 30/31 ($300k respectively) and into 22/23 for CCTV inspections of stormwater pipes to proactively identify assets needing repairs or replacement.
- Of $4M for a Te Awa land purchase from 21/22, $646k brought into 22/23, and $3.38M deferred to 23/24. The timing of this project is governed by the development in this area. The current estimate is for this work to take place in 22/23.
COMMUNITY AND VISITOR EXPERIENCES
Added in to 22/23 budgets:
- $4M additional CAPEX added to 22/23 budgets for the Napier Aquatic Centre. Investment in the Napier Aquatic Centre is required to ensure safety, compliance with national standards, and maintaining the current level of service.
- $500k brought into 22/23 from 21/22 to progress detailed design and consent processes for Te Pihinga.
- $1.06M for the library rebuild brought into 22/23 from 21/22, as the business case and design concepts were the priorities for 21/22.
- $500k for Faraday Centre building upgrades brought into 22/23 from 21/22. Council decisions about building purchase and strengthening are still pending, so this money has not been required in 21/22.
- $1.8M for the MTG storage property purchase brought into 22/23 from 21/22.
- Taken out of 22/23 budgets:
- $3.84M for the library rebuild deferred to 23/24 from 22/23. The library redevelopment programme pushed out as the business case and design concept are the priorities for 22/23.
SUPPORT UNITS
Taken out of 22/23 budgets:
- $600k, $2.17M, and $1.4M pushed out from 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24 respectively to place $4.2M in the budget for 25/26 for replacement of the enterprise asset management system. This project has been delayed.
WATER SUPPLY
Added in to 22/23 budgets:
- $500k brought into 22/23 from 21/22 for Water Treatment Plant 1 due to the timing of work related to the Water Reform Programme. This budget was not needed to be spent in previous year, but Council will continue with this project after central government funding ceases.
- $500k brought into 22/23 from 21/22 for Water Treatment Plant 2 due to the timing of work related to the Water Reform Programme. This budget was not needed to be spent in previous year, but Council is continuing this project after central government funding ceases.
- $4.59M for the Napier Hill Reservoir carried forward from 21/22 into:
- $2.45M in 22/23
- $1.15M in 23/24, and
- $986k in 24/25.
- This change is to enable Council to time the rising main installation to match the programme of the design and construction of the Mataruahou Reservoir.
Taken out of 22/23 budgets:
- $500k taken from 21/22, and $500k taken from 22/23, brought together to make $1M in 23/24 for development of Borefield 1 due to the timing of work related to the Water Reform Programme. This budget was not needed to be spent in previous year, but Council is continuing this project after central government funding ceases.
Unspent budgets for projects that are already underway in 2021/22 will be carried forward and included in the final capital plan for 2022/23.
