Our stormwater systems do not adversely effect or degrade the receiving environment.
Council has resource consents in place for each of the 15 stormwater UDAs. Resource consents are held in Council’s Confirm database. [Target:
One out of 15 (Richmond)]
We do not currently have the consents in place that are required for our stormwater UDAs. The discharge consent for Richmond is to be applied for by November 2016, with other towns to follow in 2017.
Compliance with resource consents is achieved, as measured by the number of:
- abatement notices
- infringement notices
- enforcement orders, or
- convictions issued (Mandatory measure 2)
No abatement notices, infringement notices, enforcement orders or convictions were received in relation to
resource consents for stormwater.

stormwater systems capacity and usage to facilitate Improvement.
Catchment Management Plans meets the target.
[Target: 1 of 15]
Richmond has begun and is expected to be approved sometime in 2017. As resources allow other catchment management plans will also be developed.
The number of flooding events that occur (per year) is less than the target. As measured through complaints recorded in the Confirm database.
(Mandatory measure 1) [Target: <20]
Our complaints database shows that this target was achieved. Of the total number of flooding events that occurred in the year (11), there were a total of 36 separate locations of flooding reported. Five of the flooding events were from storm events and six of the flooding events were related to the high tide flooding properties where
floodgates did not close properly.
There were some significant rainfall events during the year. The two storms that affected Motueka were both one in 40 year events and caused significant flooding on both occasions.
Significant capital works were successfully completed in the District, including the open channel upgrades for Borck Creek, Poutama Drain and Seaton Valley Stream and the Champion Road culvert. These works provided significant improvement to help prevent flooding in those areas.
Number of habitable floors affected in each flood event for each 1000 properties
connected to the stormwater system is less than the target.
As measured through complaints recorded in the Confirm database.
(Mandatory measure 1) [Target: < 5]
The measure per 1000 properties (of which there is 13,881) was very low at 0.43, well below our target level.
In real terms there were six habitable floors flooded in Tasman District, three of these were house
basements. These were mainly due to two storms in Motueka on 23 to 24 March and 28 May. Both storms were significant with a one in 40 year return period.
Our stormwater activities are managed at a level which satisfies the community.
Percentage of customers satisfied with the stormwater service - as measured through the annual residents’ survey.
[Target: 80%]
In our resident survey 81% of receivers of our service were satisfied, with 16% of unsatisfied. This result is similar to that measured last year (2014/2015: 83% and 15% respectively).
Dissatisfaction by users was generally attributed to localised flooding, inadequate systems, and blocked drains.

connections are less than the target - as recorded through Council's Confirm database.
(Mandatory measure 4) [Target: < 20]
The total number of stormwater complaints recorded in our Confirm database was 36. This equates to 2.6 complaints per 1000 properties (of which there is 13,881) is. This is significantly below our target level of <20.
We have measures in place to respond to and reduce flood damage to property and risk to the
The median response time to attend a flooding event, is less than the target (3 hours) - as recorded through Council’s Confirm database.
This performance target was not measured. The system to record response times for each job was still in a development phase during the year.

(Mandatory measure 3) [Target: < 3 hours]
Systems are now in place for the contractor to record the time when they arrive on site and when the job is completed.
Figure 34. Comparison of number of performance measures met over three years
The Long Term Plan 2015-2025 introduced 6 new performance measures for the Stormwater Activity Group.
Many of these are new mandatory measures. We also introduced a new measure for consent compliance. The majority of measures have been achieved and satisfaction with stormwater services by residents remains high.
We did not achieve our targets for the number of Catchment Management Plans or number of consents for the 15 Urban Drainage Areas.

Comment:
Finance costs
These are under budget as result of favourable interest rates compared with the Annual Plan estimate coupled with an underspend on the capital programme.
Debt
The underspent capital programme meant less debt was raised than planned.
Capital expenditure
The programme of work was not completed as expected. We anticipate a significant amount of the underspend will be carried over to 2016/2017.
