General Funding Questions
31. A number of submitters infer or claim the increase in rates to pay for the repair and
updates is on top of the rates already being levied for the stadium. This is incorrect.
Existing rating mechanisms end and have been incorporated into the proposed rating
system.

water takes on our waterways and the environmental,
social and cultural values they support. To protect these
values, we set limits on how much water can be taken from
rivers, streams and lakes, and the rate at which it can be
abstracted. We manage the use of water through policies,
regional rules and resource consents issued to water users.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The Council finished the 2017/2018 year with a surplus
of $962,000 (total comprehensive income). Total
expenditure was $26.6m. Overall it was a good result,
noting that the general rates increases have been at or
below the rate of inflation for the past few years (a 1%
general rates increase in 2017/2018). The Council’s
balance sheet remains very strong, with no public debt.
All of the achievements outlined here would not

some minor issue in regards to
abstraction rates during the brief intermittent periods of low flow restrictions in the Patea
River, however, no environmental effects were noted.
During the year, SDC demonstrated a high level of environmental performance. However
SDC demonstrated a poor level of administrative performance due to the fact, that despite
repeated reminders by Council staff, renewal applications for the weirs in the Konini Stream
and Patea River, and for the backwash discharge
longer
periods rather than at high rates for short periods.
The filter is backwashed once per week to a series of two soak holes. The capacity of
the soak holes is more than adequate to deal with the volumes of backwash which
they receive.
1.3. Resource consents
SDC holds various resource consents for the water supply plants and structures that
it operates, including water abstraction permits, discharge permits and land use
consents. These consents are listed in Table 1 and
