Memorandum

TO:                                Council

MEETING DATE:           27 November 2017

TITLE:                            Turitea Water Treatment Plant - Access Road - Programme 893 - Additional Budget Request

DATE:                            8 November 2017

AUTHOR/S:                   Dora Luo, Water Asset Engineer, City Networks

Robert van Bentum, Water & Waste Services Manager, City Networks

 

 

RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Council

1.   That Council approve an increase in the budget allocated to Capital New Programme 893-Turitea Water Treatment Plant - New Retaining Walls on Access Road by $290,000 from $180,000 to $470,000, funded from additional borrowings, to enable additional retaining structures to be constructed.

 

 

 

1.         ISSUE

1.1       Recent extended wet weather through the summer of 2016-17 and into the winter of 2017 has resulted in additional slipping on the Water Works Road in the upper reaches of the Turitea Stream catchment. While Council has recently approved a new capital programme to construct a new retaining wall (Site 1) which is almost completed, further slippage and cracking has occurred in two new sections of the unsealed road as recently as early November 2017.

1.2       The first of the two new slip areas (site 2) is on the unsealed section of the road between the lower dam and the Water Treatment Plant and presents a risk to the main raw water supply pipeline. The second of the new slip areas is on the unseal road above the lower dam but on the road access to the Upper Dam (site 3).

1.3       Initially scoping of the work at both sites indicates retaining wall solutions costing in the order of $60,000 for site 2 and $100,000 to $160,000 for site 3. There is currently no budget for the works, however both sites need to be stabilised to provide reliable vehicle access for dam and catchment maintenance and facilitate other project work associated with both dams. The works at site 2 are considered critical in order to protect the existing raw water main.

1.4       This report seeks Council approval for an additional capital new budget of $290,000 to enable works to be advanced in a timely manner. Consultants have been engaged to advance detailed design to ensure that physical works can be completed as soon as possible, leaving open the option of implementing the schedule forest harvest in third and fourth quarters of 2017-2018.

2.         Background

2.1       Turitea Access Road in the upper reaches of the Turitea Catchment provides access to the Turitea Water Treatment Plant (WTP). Beyond the sealed road which ends at the treatment plant is a network of unsealed roads which provide access to the lower and upper Turitea dams and the water collection catchment beyond. The roads provide access for pest management and biodiversity monitoring staff manging the water supply catchment as well as operations staff and contractors responsible for the monitoring and maintenance of the dam, mini-hydro and pipe work assets, newly installed aeration systems and dam water quality monitoring.

2.2       The unsealed access road from the lower Turitea Dam to the WTP is the route of the raw water supply pipelines delivering water to the treatment plant. The pipelines are located below the road near the base of the road formation. From the WTP to the reservoirs the treated water pipeline is located within the access road generally away from the outer face of the embankment below the road. Both sealed and unsealed roads are strategic Council assets required to delivery drinking water to the city.

2.3       Within the 2015-25 LTP Council had made provision for Capital New Programme 893 – Turitea WTP– New Retaining Walls on Access Road and Capital Renewal Programme 652 – Turitea Dams – Access Road Improvements to provide for construction and repair of the road on an as required basis. The Capital New Programme was provided to fund construction of new retaining walls in the first few years of the 2015-2025 LTP while the Capital Renewal Programme providing funding on an approximate 3 year cycle based on the history of expenditure.

2.4       The recent wet weather has highlighted the uncertainty around budgeting for repair work to the Turitea Access Road, particularly in view of the risk that higher rainfall variability and rainfall intensities appear to be resulting in higher maintenance and repair costs. Officers are requesting provision for both Capital New and Capital Renewal funding of works to maintain road access and the water supply as part of the 2018-2028 LTP.

2.5       There is however an immediate requirement for construction of additional retaining structures to reinstate the road following under-slips. The two new slips impact on the management of the water reserve management as well as implementation of a number of projects which are planned to occur in 2017/18 to confirm the upper dam concrete strength as part of detailed seismic assessment and to improve monitoring of dam condition as part of dam safety monitoring.

3.         Options Assessment

3.1       The slip at site 2 has been visually assessed and an open crack identified in the middle of the road.  Immediate repairs to the road are considered critical and urgent to maintain access to the upper dam and catchment. Additionally the main 525mm diameter raw water main supplying the Turitea WTP runs along the base of the under-slip. Constructing a retaining structure is critical to securing and protecting the pipeline. A preliminary assessment indicates a new retaining wall 2.5m in height and 6 metres in length will be required. The rough order cost (ROC) estimate for this work is $60,000. 

3.2       The slip at site 3 is on unsealed road access between the Lower and Upper Dam sites. It was identified from a crack also in the middle of the road.  Preliminary scoping work has identified two options to mitigate the slip and restore road access. These comprise:

Option 1 – Road Retreat – Low Level of Residual Risk

·         100m long retreat

·         4,000m3 cut to waste

·         2 off culverts installed

·         ROC = $100,000

Option 2 –Retaining Wall – Medium Level of Residual Risk

·         15m long tie-back wall

·         4m high with 2 rows of tie-backs

·         2 off culverts installed

·         ROC = $160,000

3.3       Option 1 which has the least cost and lowest risk but will require 6 weeks to implement and in addition a resource consent is required given the volume of earthworks to be undertaken. This option will also result in another year’s delay to completion of the forest harvest. A further year’s delay to the forest harvest will impact the planned water pipe duplication project and require this programme of work to be shifted out a further year, resulting in additional risk to Council. Option 2 presents some residual risk in terms of the competence of the solution however the solution can be constructed in 3 weeks with no requirement for consent. 

3.4       Officers recommend Option 2 (Site 3) be adopted to enable the access to be restored in time to enable the forest logging activates to continue as planned. Two areas of forest comprising some 20 ha in Turitea West are now overdue for harvest, with harvest operations having been deferred one year due to wet summer conditions.

3.5       Officers have confirmed resources to complete the design of the additional retaining structures by mid-December 2017 and negotiations are in train to engage the contractor currently on site at site 1 to continue with completing works at sites 2 and 3 once the existing work is completed. Officers require early Council approval for an additional budget of $290,000 (rough order cost + 30% contingency) for Programme 893 - Turitea Water Treatment Plant - New Retaining Walls on Access Road to facilitate construction of additional retaining structures at sites 2 and 3.

3.6       While Council has recently approved an additional $180,000 for Programme 893 to construct a retaining wall at site 1, there is insufficient funding to address the issues at sites 2 and 3. An additional capital sum budget of $290,000 is requested for Programme 893 to enable the proposed works to be implemented.

4.         Potential Impact on Turitea Catchment Forest Harvest

4.1       There are two stands of Radiata forest located within the Turitea West block totalling some 20 ha which are now overdue for harvesting. The forest harvest was planned to occur during the summer of 2016/17, however the wet summer required a postponement of the harvest due to ground conditions being too wet. Despite the postponement all the roading access preparation works were completed during the 2016/17 year.

4.2       Recent dry weather and evidence that ground conditions are starting to dry out, suggests that there is a strong likelihood that conditions will be favourable to undertake harvest operations as scheduled.

4.3       Contractors have been booked to begin harvesting as soon as weather permits and ground conditions are suitable. Log prices have continued to increase over the last 12 months such that an additional $100,000 in net revenue (total $500,000 revenue) is now likely to be achieved.

4.4       All three slips identified during this winter and spring, are on the logging route and put at risk the schedule forest harvest programme. Council has approved $180,000 for construction of a retaining wall at site 1 and Officers now request that additional funds be approved to complete works at sites 2 and 3 to enable forest harvesting to be commenced early in 2018.

4.5       A further delay in the forest harvest until 2018/19 will likely result in the risk of further tree loss as more of the over mature trees fall during strong winds. In addition the delay may result in a financial loss to Council should log prices soften.

4.6       Although Officers have been working with the consultants and contractors to fast track design and construction for retaining structures at sites 2 and 3, given the very tight timeframe and the impending holiday break, there is a risk the works will not be completed before the end of February 2018 resulting in insufficient time for forest harvest to be completed prior to the end of the dry weather.

Memorandum

TO:                                Council

MEETING DATE:           27 November 2017

TITLE:                            Plan Change 16 - Tangata Whenua and Resource Management - Appointment of Commissioners

DATE:                            10 November 2017

AUTHOR/S:                   John Annabell, Legal Counsel, City Corporate

 

 

RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Council

1.   That Mr Chris Mitchell (Chairperson), Councillor Karen Naylor and Councillor Aleisha Rutherford be appointed as Commissioners to consider submissions made relating to Plan Change 16 – Tangata Whenua and resource management of the Sectional District Plan Review and be given such powers and responsibilities as delegated by the Council  to Commissioners including making decisions on submissions regardless of whether or not a hearing is held.

2.   That should an additional commissioner be requested by one of more of the submitters so that the Commissioner panel includes a commissioner with an understanding of tikanga Māori, such commissioner will be appointed from the Council’s current commissioner list with this assignment to be made in the normal manner as specified by clause 196 of the Council’s Delegations Manual.

 

 

 

1.         ISSUE

There is a need for the Council to appoint Commissioners to consider Plan Change 16 of the Sectional District Plan Review so that this matter can be considered without the need to hold a hearing. 

2.         BACKGROUND

Plan Change 16 of the Sectional District Plan Review, which relates to Tangata Whenua and resource management, has attracted only three submissions.  Originally, two of the submitters indicated that they wished to be heard but, as this appears to be a matter that might be able to be settled by agreement, a hearing may no longer be necessary.  This is because amendments proposed to be made to the Plan Change would satisfy the submitters. 

While the Council has previously resolved that hearings associated with the Sectional District Plan Review be undertaken by commissioners, such resolutions apply only when hearings are necessary.  Therefore, the Council needs to pass the recommendations set out  above so that the matter can be completed without a hearing being conducted.  While the matter could be addressed by the Council’s Hearings Committee, it would be desirable for the matter to be considered on a commissioner basis so that the input and expertise of Mr Chris Mitchell can be included.  Chris Mitchell has chaired all previous hearings for the District Plan Review and has taken the lead role in writing the required decisions.

3.         NEXT STEPS

If the recommendations are adopted, the Commissioners will be formally advised of their appointment and will be able to consider the matter regardless of whether or not a hearing is necessary.  An additional commissioner, with an understanding of tikanga Māori, will also be able to be appointed if necessary.

4.         Compliance and administration

Does the Council have delegated authority to decide?

Yes

Are the decisions significant?

No

If they are significant do they affect land or a body of water?

No

Can this decision only be made through a 10 Year Plan?

No

Does this decision require consultation through the Special Consultative procedure?

No

Is there funding in the current Annual Plan for these actions?

Yes

Are the recommendations inconsistent with any of Council’s policies or plans?

No
