Overview
Greater Wellington is continuing to deliver what we set out in Year Two of our LTP� Despite our
challenging operating environment, there have been no significant or material changes to what we
planned for in Year Two of our 2021-31 LTP, and in accordance with the Local Government Act 20022,
no formal consultation process has been carried out on this Annual Plan� To inform the public on
the development of this Annual Plan, in April 2022 we released our
2022/23 Annual Plan - What you
need to know publication, along with five area-specific Fact sheets3 highlighting planned projects and
proposed rates changes by the five areas of our Region (Kāpiti Coast, Porirua, Wellington City, Hutt
Valley, Wairarapa)� However, there have been project-related cost increases we have had to adjust for,
relating to improvements to our bulk water supply network – more detail can be found in the Water
Supply section on page 39�
Also of note, both our Revenue and Financing Policy and the Rates Remission on Māori Land Policy
were reviewed and consulted on during the preparation of this Annual Plan� These policies are
Supporting Policies to our LTP, and this Annual Plan has been prepared in line with the changes
adopted in these policies4�
We are delivering the 2022/23 programme of work with an
overall average rate increase for 2022/23
of 12�27 percent, as indicated in our LTP� This equates to approximately an average increase of
$1�29 (incl� GST), $2�79 (excl� GST), and $1�14 (excl� GST) per week, for residential, business, and rural
ratepayers respectively, region wide� The specific rates for each part of the region and rating category
can be found on pages 60-64 of this Annual Plan�

Greater Wellington is currently working closely with the
Ministry of Transport and Waka Kotahi on the review of the
current Public Transport operating Model (PTOM)� PTOM is
the framework that regional councils use to procure and

changes to this framework will have a significant impact
on how Greater Wellington designs, operates and owns
assets associated with the running of our public transport
network�

Greater Wellington will review our existing

He Whak
Government�
Three Waters Reform
The Three Waters Reform Programme is a major, intergenerational project that aims to ensure that
New Zealand’s three waters (drinking water, wastewater, and stormwater) infrastructure and services
are fit for purpose and are more affordable to rate payers� Of these functions, Greater Wellington only
has a role in providing drinking water through our bulk water supply to Wellington Water Limited, who
manage it for Porirua, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt, and Wellington City� The Government’s Three Waters
Reform programme will see a new Water Service Entity (WSE) take over this role�
In 2022/23 Greater Wellington will continue to work with the Three Waters National Transition Unit
(NTU) to work through our due diligence process, leading to any asset transference and new ‘service
agreements’ that may be required with the new WSE commencing 1 July 2024�
As part of the transition to Three Waters, Greater Wellington was allocated $20m as part of the Three
Waters reform Better-off support package� The NTU released a set of criteria for Councils to apply
in deciding what they choose to spend their funds on� The criteria include initiatives that respond
to climate change, build resilience, enable housing development, support local place-making, and
improve community wellbeing�
Councils are now able to apply for 25 percent of their funds ($5�08m for Greater Wellington) before
September 2022� Greater Wellington is currently working through a list of initiatives that align with the
criteria, with the “do-ability” of these projects in mind
Replacement of the Resource Management Act (RMA)
The Resource Management Act (RMA) is the main piece of legalisation that sets out how we should
manage our environment� Over the coming years the RMA will be replaced with three new acts;
the Natural and Built Environment Act (NBA), the Strategic Planning Act (SPA), and the Climate
Change Adaption Act (CAA)� One of the core roles of Greater Wellington is to look after our region’s
environment, so we have vested interest in the outcomes of these policies� In November 2021 we
submitted our response to the initial draft NBA�
In late 2022, the Ministry for the Environment will release the latest drafts on the NBA and SPA� Greater
Wellington will work across our council to assess what the proposals mean for us going forward and
provide feedback to the Select Committee on the implications for local Government, our partners, and
our region�

Review of the Public Transport Operating Model (PTOM)
The Ministry of Transport is leading a cross-industry initiative to replace the existing Public Transport
Operating Model (PTOM)� This has potential to make a huge shift in how Greater Wellington designs,
operates, and owns assets associated with the running of our public transport network in the future�
The existing PTOM is predominantly commercially focused, whereas key principles of the proposed
new replacement framework aim to define a successful public transport network with a broader
range of quality measures, such as labour conditions, sustainability, quality of service, procurement
flexibility, and effective use of Central Government subsidies�
The proposed new framework is going to cabinet in June/July 2022� If it passes, Greater Wellington
will be heavily involved in providing input to the new framework over the coming year and will begin
forming a long term view as to what it could mean for our public transport network going forward�

- The capital program is staying very close to 2021-31 LTP with the exception being an
additional $36.3 million of projects added to Water Supply, refer to page 39.
Debt
Debt levels and interest costs are staying well below the benchmarks set in the LTP.
An
additional $154 million of debt is planned to be borrowed during the 2022/23 year which is the primary
funder of the capital program.
As part of the RiverLink project we will draw down on the
$227 million of Green Loans approved by the Local
Government Funding Agency under the Climate Change Adaptation category.

Revenue and Financing Policy
Our revised Revenue and Financing Policy 6 was consulted on in April 2022� The policy sets out how
the activities of our LTP are paid for, using a variety of funding methods such as general rates, targeted
rates, fixed rates and more� The changes to this Policy will not impact the 2021-31 Annual Plan Budget
but it will change the distribution of who pays what� These changes were endorsed by council in June
2022 and will be applied through Annual Plan 2022/23 onwards�

Financial reserves
We have two types of Council created reserves, which are monies set aside by the Council for a
specific purpose:
orma
• Retained earnings – any surplus or deficit not transferred to a special reserve is aggregated into
tion
retained earnings�
• Other reserves – any surplus or deficit or specific rate set aside or utilised by council for a specific
purpose� Reserves are not separately held in cash and funds are managed as part of Greater
Wellington’s treasury risk management policy�
Other reserves are split in four categories:
• Area of Benefit reserves – any targeted rate funding surplus or deficit is held to fund future costs for
that area�
• Contingency reserves – funds that are set aside to smooth the impact of costs associated with
specific unforeseen events�
• Special reserves – funds that are set aside to smooth the costs of irregular expenditure�
• Re-budgeted reserves – expenditure that has been rated for in one year when the project will not
be completed until the following year�

Summary of rates and levies
Rates for Greater Wellington are mostly allocated to ratepayers on the basis of their capital values�
ea – Financial inf
Within the region, different territorial authorities undertake general revaluations at different times�
o pūt
To equalise the values, each year Council gets Quotable Value or another registered valuer to estimate
ong
the projected valuations of all the rateable land in the districts within the region� This means that rates
He pūr
are assessed on a consistent valuation basis, regardless of the timing of individual territorial authority
revaluations�
The summary information in this section should be read in conjunction with the Funding Impact
Statement and the Revenue and Financing Policy�
This table shows the rates and levies for Greater Wellington in 2022/ 23 with the changes from last year
2021/22� Rates comprise the general rate and various targeted rates� Greater Wellington also charges a
water supply levy directly to the four shareholding councils, and they set their own rates to cover the
cost of this levy�
The total rate increase in regional rates for 2022/23 is in line with the 21-31 Long Term Plan at 12�27
percent� The water supply levy, which is charged to the four metropolitan city councils is proposed
to increase by 6�99 percent in 2022/23� When the water supply levy is included, Greater Wellington
Regional Council’s overall increase is 11�20 percent�

part by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence or other agreement� At a minimum, the land or premises intended to form the separately used or inhabited part of the rating unit must be
capable of actual habitation, or actual separate use� To avoid of doubt, a rating unit that has only one use (ie, it does not have separate parts or is vacant land) is treated as being one
separately used or inhabited part (dwelling)�

Some targeted rates (either in whole or part) are allocated to differential rating categories (based on
the area of land, provision of service, the use to which the land is put, or the location of the land) for
the purpose of calculating catchment scheme rates, drainage scheme rates and river management
scheme rates�

of these categories, please contact Greater Wellington’s Masterton office�
Category 4 – Flood protection – property rate for the Lower Wairarapa Valley
Development Scheme
The Lower Wairarapa Valley Development Scheme is a targeted rate allocated according to extent of
services received (as measured in a points system) and in some cases an additional fixed charge per
separately used or inhabited part�
Rating units subject to this rate are shown within an approved classification register for each scheme�
For more information on whether your rating unit is located in this area and for the points allocated to
your property, please contact Greater Wellington’s Masterton office�
Category 5 – Warm Greater Wellington rate
The Warm Greater Wellington rate is a targeted rate set on properties that have benefited from
the installation of insulation provided by Greater Wellington in respect of the property� The rate is
calculated as a percentage of the service amount until the service amount and the costs of servicing
the service amount are recovered�
In the final year of payment, the rate may be the actual balance rather than a percentage of the service
amount�
Category 6 – Regional Economic Development rate
The Regional Economic Development rate is a fixed-amount for residential and rural ratepayers, and
capital value for businesses� For residential and rural properties the fixed amount per rating unit is
$15 plus GST� This rate funds the economic development activities supporting the Regional Economic
Development Plan�

that part by virtue of a tenancy, lease, licence or other agreement� At a minimum, the land or premises intended to form the separately used or inhabited part of the rating unit
