Key components of RFAs business include performing arts and entertainment, meetings and conventions, sports, and collection-based institutions. RFA plays a key role in providing access to a wide range of recreation, leisure and arts opportunities, attractions and quality programmes. It attracts visitors, and provides jobs through its quality events, venues and activities. In accordance with RFAs SOI, it is required to submit to the council its half-year report. Officers have reviewed RFAs half-year report for the six months ending 31 December 2011. RFAs report includes year-to-date as well as second quarter information and results (1 October to 31 December 2011). The commentary mainly focuses on the second quarter because RFA have already provided commentary on the first quarter (1 July to 30 September 2011). This report focuses on performance for the half-year, which covers two quarters. The issues raised by officers during the review have been discussed with RFA. Financial performance

Accountability and Performance Committee 04 April 2012 Operating Deficit RFA has reported an operating deficit (before and after tax) of $9.2 million for the half year ending 31 December 2011, after receiving $42.3 million operational funding from council. This result was $1.7 million unfavourable against the budgeted operating deficit of $7.5 million. The variance was driven by a number of factors including one-off establishment costs; two major concerts not eventuating; foregone revenue at the Viaduct Events Centre; and urgent un-budgeted repairs required for Mt Smart. This was partially offset by a net $200,000 surplus from events that achieved higher than budgeted external revenue of $4.8 million and additional expenditure of $4.6 million relating to those events. RFA note that the original budgeted operational costs for the new Viaduct Events Centre were understated given the operating programme and the interest shown in the facility. The venue has had to spend more to facilitate the business it is undertaking. An efficiency programme to deliver the annual savings/additional revenue of $4 million is underway. Through the budgeting process RFA have identified a potential $2 million, with a further $2 million still to find. The efficiency savings have not materialised to date, however RFA have placed a number of measures to attenuate this situation. It is uncertain from the information in this quarter, if the savings will be secured due to the current operating deficit, however RFA advise that they are committed to securing these savings for the next six months. Non-Operating Income Capital expenditure funding was previously recorded as non-operating income within the statement of financial performance. Council have changed the treatment of capital expenditure funding to record as being debt funded. This has resulted in the $6.4 million Capex funding from Auckland Council unfavourable variance as capital expenditure is now a loan and RFA are responsible for the interest payments. However, the money for capital expenditure is not presented in the Statement of Financial Performance but is presented in the Auckland Council Statement of Financial Position in the current account as current liabilities for group accounting purposes. The report details a $1.9 million unfavourable variance from Other revenue to fund capital expenditure. The capital subsidies are the funds being raised by the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation towards the Art Gallery Project. The funds were due prior to 31st December 2011, however were received in February 2012.

Item 15
RFA has completed and opened a number of capital projects of high significance, including the Art Gallery, Te Wao Nui at Auckland Zoo and the Viaduct Events Centre in this half year. The capital expenditure of $16 million is under-spent by $615,000 against a budget of $16.6 million for the year to date. Explanations for key variances are: The Edge building renewals are currently under-budget by $2 million, with $406,000 spent to date, the budget for the year to date is $2.4 million. The key capital project summary has reported a decrease from the first quarter report from $913,000 to $406,000. RFA have confirmed that this is a result of re-classification between The Edge and Aotea Centre ASB Theatre renewals. The Edge building renewals are currently under-budget due to timing of the renewal works. RFA are investigating significant renewal works concerning weather-tightness issues of the building, prior to the work being commissioned, they anticipate that these works will commence in April 2012. RFA note that while the Art Gallery Capital cost of $8.5 million is presenting an unfavourable variance of $3 million against budget of $5.5 million they advise that the final capital expenditure will be within Councils provision, as the budget will be reviewed under an investment proposal as part of the 2011/12 budget re-forecasting. RFA have also advised that they are undertaking in conjunction with Council an assessment of the Auckland Art Gallery Foundation funding budgeted for 2011-2012. The Art Gallery Foundation will not be able to raise all the budgeted funds, due to the current economic conditions. This issue is being reviewed under an investment proposal as part of draft Long Term Plan 2012-22 process. Performance measures Officers note that from the performance targets measured, that RFA is on track to achieving the annual targets. RFA have now added 12 new performance measures in line with their strategic framework as requested in the 2011/12 SOI. The new performance measures relate to:

Maori Impact Statement


RFA have had formal and informal discussions with the Independent Maori Statutory Board.

In accordance with Auckland Council Property Limiteds (ACPL) statement of intent (SOI), ACPL is required to submit a half-year report. ACPL s report includes year-to-date as well as second quarter (1 October to 31 December) results while the commentary focuses primarily on the second quarter because ACPL has already provided commentary on the first quarter. This officers' report, however comments on performance for the half-year, which covers two quarters. Officers have reviewed the report which covers the quarter ending 31 December 2011. Issues raised have been discussed with ACPL, and their responses have been incorporated into the officers report. The key points from ACPLs half-year report are: x ACPLs net operating surplus from all activities is $6.86m against a budget of $6.96m, an unfavourable variance of $101,000. The net surplus from place shaping property developments of $3.19m, against a budget deficit of $4.67m is a favourable variance of $7.86m. An important milestone has been reached through finalising the commercial arrangements between ACPL and Todd Property Limited for the Ormiston Town Centre Masterplan. This will see Stage 1 of the physical works commencing in the third quarter of 2013. The implementation of the new IT/SAP software has highlighted issues with the data quality, this new software will be able to provide better reporting detail on individual lease income / expenditure. ACPL are indicating a shortfall in the budgeted portfolio income. ACPL have relocated into the CBD, L9 Bledisloe Building, this has provided greater efficiency for the group. ACPL are making satisfactory progress against the set performance objectives

ACPLs net operating surplus from all activities of $6.86m, against a budget of $6.96m, an unfavourable variance of $101,000. The main reasons for this are: The property portfolio operating surplus of $7.93m against a budget of $8.52m is unfavourable by $583,000. The property portfolio revenue is unfavourable by $210,000. The rental revenue is currently showing a favourable variance of $215,000, however, now that the data validation exercise has been completed, following the implementation of the new property management system, ACPL are indicating that there will be a shortfall in the annual property rental revenues. The opex recoveries are currently showing an unfavourable variance of $425,000, however, ACPL are indicating that there will be an increase in the annual opex recoveries due to more effective management of the commercial tenancy leases. Estimates for both are being assessed as part of the current 11/12 budget reforecast process. The property portfolio expenditure is unfavourable
Auckland Council Property Limited, Half-year report to 31 December 2011 Page 182

Accountability and Performance Committee 04 April 2012

The Business Interests net surplus of $1.96m against a budget of $1.24m is favourable by $719,000. This is a combination of the gate rate reduction not yet being agreed and implemented by Waste Disposal Services (favourable variance of $706,000), the late harvesting of the forest with revenue expected in the last quarter, rather than as budgeted evenly (unfavourable variance of $514,000) and income from the Whiteford Quarry of $354,000 relating to the prior years. ACPL Operating expenditure of $3.03m, against a budget of $2.79m is unfavourable by $237,000. This is a combination of unbudgeted spend on the Auckland Council accommodation project, actual costs ahead of the budget due to monthly phasing and contractors covering critical staff positions during structuring the hiring of employees. The net surplus from the place shaping property developments of $3.19m, against a budget deficit of $4.67m is a favourable variance of $7.86m. The reasons a favourable expenditure variance of $7.16m are due to the expenditure focus at the Hobsonville Marine Precinct (Yard 37) being on the resource and planning consents. Much of the budgeted costs related to land development, which will take place once the planning stage is completed and land sales achieved and a favourable revenue variance of $694,000 mainly due to the Todd Property Management fee of $2.25m, against a budget of $1.5m, recognised in December on finalisation of the Ormiston Town Centre development. Statement of Performance The non-financial performance measures are progressing as follows:1. Auckland Council is provided with an appropriate return on property. During the establishment phase ACPL developed a standardised budget reporting system for the property portfolio. The implementation of the new IT/SAP system has highlighted issues with data quality across the Legacy portfolio revenue. The new system, once bedded in, will provide ACPL with reporting on individual property, consolidated Profit and Loss and business process reporting. 2. Auckland Councils activities and commercial negotiations are efficiently and effectively planned and managed. Ormiston Town Centre Master plan was approved by ACPL board in December, with the final decision expected in February. Papatoetoe Town Centre Redevelopment discussions continue with private sector potential partners with five connected workstreams involving the supermarket and mall, the Tavern site, Depot site, Chamber property and roads. The Hobsonville Marine Precinct (Yard 37) is focussed on obtaining resource and planning consents, improving design and selecting preferred suppliers. Auckland Council receives advice on opportunities to optimise and rationalise the service property assets portfolio. The Property Rationalisation Project is currently focussed on developing a systematic approach to the disposal process, this work will be beneficial to assist councils $100m disposal target by September 2013. ACPL have consulted with local boards on a number of proposed disposals, due to be reported to council in the near future. Auckland Council is provided with a commercial perspective on planning initiatives and the implementation of councils development objectives. ACPL continue to provide commercial advice via submissions, working papers, presentations and workshop participation to a number of council workstreams, including the draft City Centre Master plan and the draft Auckland Plan.

by $373,000. The property portfolio expenditure includes an unfavourable variance of $890,000 due to the phasing of the budgets for the occupancy and rates. The repairs and maintenance is favourable by $500,000 due to a lower level of activity.

Executive Summary
In accordance with Auckland Tourism, Events, and Economic Development Limiteds (ATEEDs) Statement of Intent (SOI), ATEED is required to submit a half-year report. Officers have reviewed the half-year report, and identified issues that have been discussed with ATEED. Clarification on those issues is provided within this cover report. Key matters outlined within the report are now presented for further information and consideration of the Accountability and Performance Committee. The delivery of the final portion of the Rugby World Cup (RWC) was a primary focus for ATEED during the period, culminating in the 24 October 2011 victory parade. Survey results indicate that 95% of international visitors and 96% of domestic visitors believed that RWC in Auckland was a successful event. The results of formal modelling of economic impacts is due in April 2012. ATEED has reported an operating deficit of $6.009 million, with total operating expenditure of $45.170 million ($1.678 million more than budget of $43.492 million) and operating income of $39.161 million ($3.092 million more than budget of $36.069 million). This is an overall favourable variance of $1.414 million against the budgeted net deficit of $7.423 million. Operating revenue and expenditure have both been greater than budgeted. This is largely due to unbudgeted expenditure during RWC. However, this unbudgeted expenditure was more than offset by unbudgeted income generated through RWC. Most of ATEEDs performance targets are measured annually, rather than on a quarterly basis. Reported results to date indicate that ATEED will achieve most of its annual targets but there are three performance target areas which are monitored monthly and which ATEED is not currently on target to achieve: x Two measures relating to the Regional Partner Network (RPN) programme, which ATEED delivers on behalf of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise (NZTE). These measures were discussed in the first quarter report. They are being reviewed by ATEED and NZTE, and revised targets will be included in the 2012-2015 Statement of Intent (SOI), and x Attendee satisfaction with events delivered by ATEED is the third performance measure that ATEED is currently below target on. 78% of Diwali attendees were satisfied with the event, against a target of 85% satisfaction across all events delivered by ATEED. Results from other events will be incorporated into the final annual measure, and improvement will be required to achieve the year-end target. It is noted that this result does not include RWC, which is measured separately. ATEEDs Chair, Mr David McConnell, and the Acting Chief Executive Mr Grant Jenkins, will provide a presentation to the meeting and will answer any questions the committee may have.

Item 17

Recommendation/s
a) b) That the report be received. That the Committee receives the half-year report of Auckland Tourism, Events, and Economic Development Limited (ATEED), noting that: i) ii) ATEED has reported an operating deficit of $6.009 million, against a budgeted deficit of $7.423 million. This is a favourable variance of $1.414 million. Of the 27 performance measures in the ATEED Statement of Intent, 4 have been achieved, 7 are on track to be achieved and 13 annual measures cannot yet be reported against. Three performance measures are not on track to meet year-end targets. ATEED has signalled that it is unlikely to achieve performance targets relating to the delivery of the Regional Partner Network programme, which ATEED delivers on behalf of New Zealand Trade and Enterprise. ATEED is currently reviewing these performance targets with New Zealand Trade and Enterprise, and any changes will be reflected in ATEEDs 2012-2015 Statement of Intent. The results of formal modelling of RWC 2011 economic impacts will be reported to Auckland Council in May 2012

iii)

iv) c)

That the Committee thank ATEED Chair, Mr David McConnell, and the Acting Chief Executive, Mr Grant Jenkins, for their attendance.

Background
In accordance with ATEEDs SOI and the Local Government Act 2002, ATEED is required to submit a half-year report. The half-year report for ATEED, for the period ending 31 December 2011 can be found at Attachment A. ATEED s report includes year-to-date as well as second quarter (1 October to 31 December) results while the commentary focuses primarily on the second quarter because ATEED has already provided commentary on the first quarter. This overview report provides comment on performance for the half-year, which covers two quarters. This should explain any apparent differences between the two reports. Financial Performance ATEED has reported an operating deficit of $6.009 million, against a budgeted net deficit of $7.423 million. This is based on operating income of $39.161 million, and a total operating expenditure of $45.170 million. It is noted that the funding provided by Auckland Council is split equally over the 12 months of the financial year and that this doesnt align to the bulk of RWC costs which occurred within the first half of the year. The negative equity position of ATEED will be redressed by the end of the year when there will be a return to a zero net profit position. For the reporting period through to 31 December 2011, both operating expenditure and revenue have been greater than budgeted (expenditure of $45.170 million versus budget of $43.492 million, and revenue of $39.161 million versus a budget of $36.069 million). This is largely due to unbudgeted expenditure during RWC. It is noted that the unbudgeted expenditure was more than offset by unbudgeted income that was generated through RWC, with an overall favourable operating variance of $1.414 million against a budgeted net deficit of $7.423 million. Net i-SITE revenue continues to be of concern, with net revenue being $485,000 below budget at the end of the first half of the year. ATEED is forecasting an adverse year-end variance to budget of $661,000 from its i-SITE operations. ATEED is currently undertaking a review of the i-SITEs commercial/retail strategy. This review will be presented to the ATEED Board in March 2012.

Accountability and Performance Committee 04 April 2012

ATEED also notes that employee costs are $529,000 higher than budget year to date and is in discussion with Auckland Council to address the additional costs which are attributed to unbudgeted employee costs associated with amalgamation (budget based on an old company structure, legacy redundancy payments and costs of harmonising contract conditions).

Capital Projects The vast majority of ATEEDs activities relate to operating expenditure (opex) rather than capital expenditure (capex) and no new capex projects are programmed for the rest of the year.

The year to date (YTD) capex of 2.178 million includes unbudgeted capex of $800,000 for the Quay Street fitout (transition of ATEED to new offices), which was funded by the Quay Street incentive payment of $899,000 (this is shown as non-operating income in the Statement of Financial Performance). YTD capex excluding the Quay Street fitout is $1.38m, which is $233K favourable to the YTD capex budget of $1.61m.

Non-Financial Performance Measures The majority of ATEEDs performance targets are measured on an annual basis. Of the 27 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) contained within their 2011-2014 SOI: x x x x 4 have been achieved 7 are on track to be achieved by year-end (30 June 2012) 13 cannot yet be reported against 3 are not on track to be achieved by year-end (30 June 2012)

Of the three targets that are not on target, two relate to the RPN programme, which ATEED delivers on behalf of NZTE. As discussed in the first quarter report, these measures are being reviewed by ATEED and NZTE, and the new targets that are agreed will be included in the 20122015 SOI. As the RPN is a new programme, there is no historical data to support the development of reasonable performance target expectations. The NZTE contract provided for a review of the performance targets within the first year. ATEED is working with NZTE to develop performance measures that assess the value that ATEED adds to the client businesses, rather than the purely quantitative assessment which is currently in place. Attendee satisfaction with events delivered by ATEED is the third performance measure that ATEED is currently below target on. 78% of Diwali attendees were satisfied with the event, against a target of 85% satisfaction across all events delivered by ATEED. Results from other events will be incorporated into the final annual measure, and improvement will be required to achieve the year-end target. It is noted that this result does not include RWC, which is measured separately.

Degree of Alignment with Auckland Council ATEED has continued to deliver a high degree of alignment with Auckland Council and the other CCOs. This includes working on both strategic initiatives (contribution towards development of Auckland Councils Economic Development and Events Strategies), and at an operational level (delivery of events such as RWC, the ITU World Cup triathlon, and the Hockey World Champions Trophy). ATEED has also provided input to the development of the Tamaki Drive Masterplan, in addition to other council-led initiatives. ATEED is also involved with council planning for the implementation of the Economic Development Strategy, which is currently in draft form (Hearings underway with Strategy scheduled for formal council endorsement in July 2012).

Accountability and Performance Committee 04 April 2012 Other issues ATEED is currently working to develop Aucklands food and beverage sector, with two significant events held during the second quarter: x On 26 October 2011 the FoodBowl complex was opened by New Zealand Food Innovations Auckland (NZFIA), an entity which is owned by ATEED. The FoodBowl complex will assist in the development of new products, which will assist in developing this sector. As part of the RWC, ATEED presented the Food Innovation Showcase. This showcase featured 49 exhibitors, with 2,500 registered attendees and in excess of 3,000 public visitors. The showcase provides a good example of the economic leverage opportunities provided by the RWC.

Maori Impact Statement


ATEEDs half year report identifies activities that it has undertaken with particular benefit to Maori wellbeing. These include: x One of the business leveraging programme activities associated with the RWC included an investment-focussed Maori Business Engagement event. The purpose of this event was to: x connect International and Domestic Business Club members directly with M ori businesses in the Auckland region. x highlight the growing iwi economy and the investment opportunities. x provide international Business Club members with an insight into the diversity of opportunities within and macroeconomic investment environment in New Zealand. x Participated in a Te Tiriti o Waitangi best practice audit which is being undertaken on behalf of the Independent Maori Statutory Board. x The development of an Iwi Business Development Strategy. It is recognised that reporting on Maori wellbeing could improve across CCOs, where relevant, and within council. In order to facilitate better planning and delivery for the outcomes that CCOs contribute to, the following actions will be taken. x CCO Governance and Monitoring team have recently updated the Quarterly Report template for CCO reporting which will include contribution to Maori wellbeing. This will result in a better picture of CCO progress against Maori wellbeing outcomes and will be reflected in the Third Quarter Report and all subsequent reports by CCOs. x The Maori Strategy & Relations team have provided strategic direction for Maori Wellbeing outcomes into council's Auckland Plan, Long Term Plan and Unitary Plan, this work will be used as the basis for officer comments on ways in which CCOs SOI for 2012 - 2015 could be improved. x The CCO Governance and Monitoring team will continue to work with IMSB and others on a monitoring framework which could be applied to CCOs with respect to Maori wellbeing.

Executive Summary
In accordance with Waterfront Aucklands (WAs) Statement of Intent (SOI) WA is required to submit a half-year report. Officers have reviewed the half-year report, and identified issues have been discussed with WA. Clarification on those issues is provided within this cover report. Key matters outlined within the report are now presented for further information and consideration of the Accountability and Performance Committee. WA was involved in the provision of a fan zone on Wynyard Quarter during the final stages of the Rugby World Cup (RWC). Waterfront Auckland staff also participated in the on-site operations centre during key game weekends. It is noted that the collaboration of WA with Auckland Council and Auckland Tourism, Events, and Economic Development Limited (ATEED) helped deliver successful RWC events in Auckland. WA has reported a net operating deficit of $2.468 million against a budgeted net deficit of $3.066 million. Operating expenditure for the first six months was $15.692 million ($1.988 million more than budget of $13.704 million) and operating income of $13.224 million ($2.586 million more than budget of $10.638 million). This is an overall favourable variance of $0.598 million. Increased operating revenue is due mainly to unbudgeted rental, and unbudgeted RWC expenditure being recharged to Auckland Council, ATEED, and the Ministry of Economic Development (MED). There has been little in the way of capital expenditure following completion of the RWC development projects. Work continues on planning for the next phase of development. The WA Board approved an additional $1.75 million for the fit-out of the Cloud structure, including the purchase of the LED screens, which has resulted in an overspend of $1.651 million. This budget variance will be addressed through the 2011/12 council reforecast process. The Chair of WA, Mr Bob Harvey, and the Chief Executive, Mr John Dalzell, will provide a presentation to the meeting and will answer any questions the committee may have.

Recommendation/s
a) a) That the report be received. That the Committee receives the half-year report of Waterfront Auckland, noting that: i) ii) Waterfront Auckland has reported an operating deficit of $2.468 million, against a budgeted deficit of $3.066 million. This is a favourable variance of $0.598 million. Additional capital expenditure for the fit-out of the Cloud structure resulted in a $1.651 overspend on this project. This budget variance will be addressed through the 2011/12 council reforecast process. Waterfront Auckland has not identified any issues that will prevent it from achieving its annual non-financial performance measures.

iii) b)

That the Committee thank Waterfront Auckland Chair, Mr Bob Harvey, and the Chief Executive, Mr John Dalzell, for their attendance.

Background

Item 18

In accordance with WAs SOI and the Local Government Act 2002, WA is required to submit a half-year report. The half-year report for WA, for the period ending 31 December 2011 can be found at Attachment A. WA s report includes year-to-date (1 July to 31 December 2011) as well as second quarter (1 October to 31 December) results while the commentary focuses primarily on the second quarter because WA has already provided commentary on the first quarter. This overview report provides comment on performance for the half-year, which covers two quarters. This should explain any apparent differences between the two reports. The second quarter has not seen the same level of construction on the waterfront as in the first, however development of the Waterfront Plan has continued, along with planning for the next phase of development projects. Providing input to Auckland Councils 2012-2022 Long Term Plan (LTP), and all the necessary background work that this involved, was a key focus for WA during the second quarter. Delivery of a fan zone on Wynyard Quarter for the final stages of RWC was also a key deliverable for WA. This involved a high level of collaboration with Auckland Council and ATEED. Financial performance Overall, the review of the half-year report indicates that financial performance is good, and there are no concerns for the final year-end result. WA reported a net half-year operating deficit of $2.468 million, against a budgeted deficit of $3.066 million.

Minimal capital expenditure took place during the second quarter, with total year to date expenditure only increasing by $1.1m over the second quarter (total capex spend of $20.4 million at 30 September 2011). Included in this total year to date figure is the receipt of $0.5m from the MED as contribution towards the Cloud fit-out. This contribution from MED explains why the year to date expenditure on the Central Wharves Public Projects is less than the expenditure reported in the first quarter. The overspend on Queens Wharf includes an additional $1.75 million approved by the WA Board for the fit-out of the Cloud structure, including the purchase of the LED screens. This overspend was addressed by the WA Board by bringing forward funds from the 2012/13 Queens Wharf budget, which is yet to be formally approved through the 2012-2022 Long Term Plan. This budget variance was not in accordance with the agreed reprioritisation principles for CCOs and will now need to be addressed through the 2011/12 council reforecast process. Non-Financial Performance measures The majority of WAs performance targets are measured annually. In relation to those targets measured this quarter, WA has reported that: x x x x The target of an additional 5 hectares of waterfront public space has been achieved by the delivery of Silo 6, the playground site, and North Wharf. An additional 1.1km of waterfront promenade was developed (Silo Park-North WharfKaranga Plaza-Wynyard Crossing-Queens Wharf). The City Link bus service commenced into Wynyard Quarter every 15 minutes between 7am and midnight, against a target of a bus every 10 minutes between 7am-7pm. A low number of injuries have been reported by staff and contractors (continuous improvement against baseline, with no serious harm / lost time incidents occurring).
