2017/2018 Annual Plan
There was much joy and jubilation Hamilton receiving $272 million interest free from the Government $1 billion infrastructure fund. The current debt is $434 million; finance (interest) cost is $21,819,000 (nearly $22 million per year). The increase of $272 million will push the debt to $706 million with additional cost of $27.2 million per year to pay back the $272 million takes the annual interest (finance) cost to $41.019 million and pushes the net interest–cost-to-total-revenue to 20.78%.
Current Finance Cost (Interest) $21,819,000
Plus
Infrastructure Fund Payments $27,200,000
$49,019,000 per year
Broken down Council (Ratepayers) have to fund/find
Monthly (12) $4,084,916.67
Weekly (52) $942,673.08
Daily (365) $134,298.63
As well as run the daily operation of the city. All of this takes no account of
:
a. $13.3 million at ‘Waterworld’ www.stuff.co.nz...
b. The Water Pipes leading to the East
c. The ‘Frankton Plan’ the ‘River Plan’, the ‘Ferrybank Plan’ the ‘CBD plan’ and at least another 20 odd other projects Council have pencilled in and some supposedly FUNDED.
d. Oh, the ZOO $15.7 million
e. $34.5 million on Founders Theatre www.stuff.co.nz...
f. Not to mention other ‘Dreams are Free’ Plans/Projects proposed by Council.
If Ratepayers objected to the recent “Free” parking proposal, imagine the reaction when they receive their rates to fund this 20.78% interest–cost-to-total-revenue plus any other ‘Dreams are Free’
Hamilton is in deep do dos.
Austerity is the order of the day – cut one’s cloth…the alternative will be to price people out of their homes, it has happened overseas the conditions are the same.

Wednesday 12 July 2017
A proposed approach to measure Hamilton City Council’s financial performance as part of discussions for the city’s 10-Year Plan was presented to councillors in a public briefing session today.
The Financial Strategy Assessment by PwC identified the key financial challenges for Hamilton in coming years. The report took the 2015-25 10-Year Plan as a starting point and looked at the current and future economic landscape and whether the existing financial approach is the best for the city in the new economic environment.
A revised approach was recommended to ensure the annual costs to run the city are met by the annual operating revenue. The new measure excludes vested assets, all capital subsidies (new roads) and 65% of development contribution revenue (DC revenue).
Under this approach, to maintain day to day operations and the community expectations from the last annual plan, the city would have needed to increase base revenue this financial year by 11.7 per cent, or find cost savings of $12.1M, or a combination of both. This adjustment does not take into account inflationary cost increases, new funding requirements in the coming 10-Year Plan, or growth challenges.
Hamilton City Council Chief Executive Richard Briggs says he will be recommending the PwC approach to the Council’s Revenue Task Force.
“The report is consistent with the financial data supplied to councillors in March of this year which identified the Council needs to address a gap between its base revenue sources and the day-to-day costs to run the city.
“In simple terms, the costs of running the city in the future will not be covered by the rates income and user fees and charges we have budgeted,” Mr Briggs says.
“The report also confirms there are significant growth pressures and a number of unfunded plans and strategies which Council and the community will need to consider as Hamilton sets its priorities during the 10-Year Plan process,” he says.
“Hamilton is experiencing growth increases far beyond what was expected in 2012, when we last set the financial strategy. That strategy was appropriate at the time but six years later we have a totally different economic landscape.
“Base costs to provide services to the city have increased and new legislative requirements have resulted in increased maintenance and capital expenditure costs for our existing assets.
“The Housing Infrastructure Fund proposals are a separate issue and are part of the growth picture – today’s PwC report is about base operating costs and revenues,” Mr Briggs says.
“How this funding gap is addressed is one of the challenges facing the Council – no decisions have yet been made – and today is part of a series of briefings to provide councillors with the best information as we develop our long term plan,” Mr Briggs says.
Earlier this year the Council voted to keep rates increases at an average of 3.8% for 2017/18, as originally proposed. How the city funds its activities in the future will be determined through the 2018-2028 10-Year Plan.
The 10-Year Plan is the blueprint for how Hamilton will build a stronger economy and a more attractive city for families. The Plan is about how the city balances three areas: growth, levels of service and the financial strategy, and will go out for public consultation in early 2018.
