KEY NOTE SPEAKER Wednesday 31 October 3:30pm 4:30pm The power of effort! Presented by: Lisa O Neill Where: Simpson Grierson Waiau Room Summary: It s time to stop playing small, to be good enough and to take charge. Learn how to be the best version of yourself. In a world where we are constantly under pressure, pressure to perform, to achieve, to sell and to do more, having the confidence to be the most magnificent version of yourself is the secret. It feels great to look great, to feel congruent and to present your best self to the world. What is required is effort. It takes effort to look good, effort to be good, effort to get in charge of your life. People who feel powerful make more decisions, take the lead and contribute to their organisations. Without energy we are nothing. To live an excellent life we need to make an effort. Without energy, making an effort is nearly impossible. There are so many things that contribute or contaminate our energy. From the food we eat, the way we move to the people we spend time with. In order to perform at your best you need the best energy possible. Lisa has been called a Human Berrocca! Learn her secrets for maintaining high energy even in tough times.

10 Business Sessions Auckland Council Corporate Property Portfolio Strategy Presented by: Rod Aitken Auckland Council Where: Hyundai Mararoa Room Summary: This presentation will provide an overview of the recently approved transformation of Auckland Councils legacy aging corporate office portfolio to a fit for purpose efficient and effective office portfolio network of spaces. Integrated as part of the large scale moves to new buildings, Auckland Council will also transition more than 5,000 staff to new ways of working, in support of its diverse workforce and a desire to support increasingly flexible work patterns. BUSINESS SESSION THREE Thursday 01 November 9:35am 10:20am Please choose one of the following three options: Earthquake prone buildings Seismic notices placed on Buildings i.e <34% one year on, how have the public reacted? Presented by: Patrick Cummuskey Auckland Council Where: Simpson Grierson Waiau Room Summary: With amendments to the Building Act coming into effect in July 2017 that for the first time required formal notices to be physically placed on earthquake-prone buildings in Auckland, it was unclear whether the public would understand and accept the changes, or whether Auckland would be faced with panic and a cascade of unintended consequences. One year on from the issue of its first notices, Auckland Council has seen a varied range of reactions that has necessitated a variety of responses to keep the city and its people headed in the right direction. With an inter-generational 35 years under the legislation for these buildings to be upgraded, there is also going to need to be a lot of thought given to maintaining purposeful momentum into the future. Business continuity planning Crisis Management Presented by: David Middleton Panuku Development Auckland, and Harvey Duncan WSP Opus Where: The Property Group Limited Takatimu Room Summary: A subject not often considered with any great urgency when things go wrong we tend to fly by the seats of our pants instead of having a plan to give us a guide as to what to do. While we cannot plan for every single eventuality we can have a broad plan as to what to expect under certain scenarios and what we can do to mitigate the effects to our families and business. By having a more formal approach to crisis and business continuity we can at least have a structure in place to counter an adverse event to manage a crisis having contingency plans in place. Projects Get more with less by managing your project design team Presented by: Stephen Greenhough Auckland Council Where: Hyundai Mararoa Room Key Point: Stephen Greenhough will share his experience of working with Design Teams over the last 25 years so that you can get an insight into how Consultants operate, their motivations and some techniques to help get the best from your consultant team without blowing your project budget. Summary: Why is it that managing a project design team can often feel like teaching a pig to fly, or ride a bike, sing or do anything other than act like a pig, which invariably frustrates you and annoys the pig? We need exceptional project outcomes for our communities, customers and ratepayers when delivering property projects. But managing the myriad of subject matter experts such as Architects, Engineers, Project Managers and Quantity Surveyors that we need to rely on can be stressful. Especially when we are working within restrictive project constraints stitching in project intent, design brief, design intent, end user requirements and cost. 10

11 Business Sessions LAPA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Thursday 01 November 10:50am 11:20am LAPA ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Presented by: LAPA Executive Where: Simpson Grierson Waiau Room Key Point: To hold the Association s AGM, update members on Strategic Projects and insights for the next twelve months. Summary: This session seeks to have members adopt the Association s Annual Reports as part of its Annual General Meeting and consider a number of new policy points and strategic projects undertaken over the previous twelve months. BUSINESS SESSION FOUR Thursday 01 November 11:25am 12:10Pm Please choose one of the following three options: Your Asset Data: If you get the basics right, everything else is much simpler Presented by: Tony Anderson Calibre Where: Summary: Simpson Grierson Waiau Room To allow for the robust management of our (property) assets we need to collect and maintain a minimum set of data. This starts with an asset inventory; what do we have and where is it, includes what are they made of, how old are they, what is the remaining life and cost to replace and ends with who s using them, what condition are they in, what benefit are we deriving and what are the risks? These initial questions pose a number of issues for some Councils. An asset inventory may sound simple, but it actually has a number of options, possibilities and formats. Once collected, the data needs to be stored and managed to allow it to be turned into information for the benefit of decision makers and asset managers. This paper will look at the following issues in asset data collection and storage; What data is being collected, how and by who? Is there a manual that is being followed, IIMM? If so which processes have been adopted? How is the inventory classification and hierarchy derived? What system(s) are being used to store the data? How is the data being managed, updated and reported to make it worth the effort of collecting? Te Ture Whenua Maori Act You can t touch That Presented by: James Clareburt The Property Group Limited Where: The Property Group Limited Takatimu Room Summary: The interface between Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 (TTW) and the Public Works Act 1981 was explored in relatively recent decisions in the Maori Land Court and Environment Court involving land owned by acclaimed Maori novelist Patricia Grace. Since then a refresh of TTW came close to being passed by the previous National Government, before being set aside by the new Government for a rethink. This session will comment on learnings from these two exercises as it may impact on infrastructure acquisition programs, and also raise issues that local government may wish to consider commenting on as part of any future review. H&S in the Property Sector - Keeping it Real with Critical Risk Presented by: Kevin Williams Health and Safety NZ Where: Hyundai Mararoa Room Key Point: Approaching your property-based H&S duties in a realistic way by focusing on Critical Risk and spending that budget in the right places. 11

BUSINESS SESSION SIX Friday 02 November 9:35am 10:20am Please choose one of the following three options: Land Acquisition: Case Study Roading projects Presented by: Robert Cant Tasman District Council, and Simpson Grierson Where: Simpson Grierson Waiau Room Summary: Robert works in one of NZs fastest growing districts, Tasman District. TDC does a number of land acquisitions that relate to legal roads each year. Perhaps not as complex as the bigger city projects, but relevant to a large number of Council s with small-medium populations. The presentation will walk through a few real life road acquisitions, and hopefully provide a few learning experiences for those that acquire land for road, or might need to in the future. Simpson Grierson will be part of the presentation and provide advice on the technical aspects of acquiring land for road. Three Waters Out of Sight, Out of Mind? Presented by: Rebecca Mackenzie The Property Group Limited Where: The Property Group Limited Takatimu Room Key Point: Three waters is a key focus of Local and Central Government.
