Percentage of State school buildings with an assessed maintenance forecast for the next 10 years that is no more than 20% of their replacement value, as an indicator of condition (see Note 4). |
Replacement measure | 85% | 85% |
DISCONTINUED Note 2 - Utilisation is expressed as the ratio of the number of classrooms a school is entitled to relative to its actual number of classrooms at the school. Classroom entitlement is calculated based on maximum roll figures, school types, Maori immersion rolls, special needs and technology aspects of the school. This measure covers about 70% of State schools in total and excludes schools with 100 or fewer students and schools which are less than 10 years old. Schools with enrolments of 100 students or fewer are excluded because small variations in enrolments will result in major changes in utilisation, and new schools are excluded because they would have been built in anticipation of future need for increased space.
REPLACEMENT Note 2 - This is a measure of the funding efficiency of teaching space provision in the school property portfolio, and does not directly measure the user experience at schools (eg, overcrowding). Running the large school property portfolio is expensive and good utilisation performance helps to minimise this cost. The target range of 75% to 105% recognises that below 75% there is likely to be excess capacity, which may be inefficient to operate or may be expensive to remove, and above 105% there may be a need for new teaching spaces to be built. The measure excludes schools with 100 or fewer students and new schools because our policy settings allow for different (lower) levels of utilisation for operational reasons. Nevertheless, the measure covers more than 90% of State schools by area, and nearly 95% by student enrolments.
DISCONTINUED Note 3 - The functionality measure is based on property-related elements of Innovative Learning Environment (ILE) assessments conducted by accredited assessors at the time each school prepares its 10-year property plan (10YPP). This measure is only available for a subset of schools at present (covering about 60% of State school buildings) but will be progressively applied across all schools as part of the property planning cycle. The functionality of buildings is scored on a nominal scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the highest functionality rating) based on the extent to which the building is assessed as being compliant (0%, 50% or 100%) with requirements for Designing Quality Learning Space (DQLS), Health and Hygiene (H&H) and Flexible Learning Spaces (FLS). A rating of 1 applies to buildings which comply with DQLS, H&H and FLS criteria. A rating of 2 applies to buildings which score 100% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 3 applies to buildings which have either a score of at least 50% for both DQLS and H&H criteria or 100% for one of these criteria. A rating of 4 applies to buildings which score 50% for one of the DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 5 applies to buildings which score 0% for both DQLS and H&H criteria.
REPLACEMENT Note 3 - This is a measure of the functionality of school property based on the most recent Innovative Learning Environment (ILE) assessments undertaken. ILE assessments are undertaken every five years for most schools as part of their 10-year property planning process. The functionality of buildings is scored on a nominal scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the highest functionality rating) based on the extent to which the building is assessed as being compliant (0%, 50% or 100%) with requirements for Designing Quality Learning Space (DQLS), Health and Hygiene (H&H) and Flexible Learning Spaces (FLS). A rating of 1 applies to buildings which comply with DQLS, H&H and FLS criteria. A rating of 2 applies to buildings which score 100% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 3 applies to buildings which have either a score of at least 50% for both DQLS and H&H criteria or 100% for one of these criteria. A rating of 4 applies to buildings which score 50% for one of the DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 5 applies to buildings which score 0% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. This measure covers the majority of school buildings (around 67% of buildings by area), and is increasing each year as more schools re-enter the 10-year property planning process.
DISCONTINUED Note 4 - The maintenance index is based on a nationwide physical inspection of school buildings. It is the ratio of each building's forward 10-year cost for maintaining the building to current standards relative to its replacement cost. The higher the ratio, the greater the degree of maintenance required. All other things being equal, a building with a higher ratio will tend to indicate poorer condition than a building with a lower ratio. This measure represents over 95% of total replacement value and about 70% of the number of buildings in the entire State school portfolio, excluding about 10,000 minor buildings such as sheds and covered walkways. For reporting purposes, building indices are shown on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being the highest rating, defined as follows: 1 is an index of less than 5%, 2 is 5-10%, 3 is 10-20%, 4 is 20-30%, and 5 is over 30%).
REPLACEMENT Note 4 - This is a measure of the relative level of maintenance required across the portfolio based on the most recent condition assessments undertaken. Condition assessments are undertaken every five years for most schools as part of their 10-year property planning process. State school buildings with 10-year maintenance requirements that cost no more than 20% of their replacement value indicates these assets are being sustainably well maintained. The measure covers around 85% of buildings by area across 97% of schools. Exclusions are: minor school buildings (such as sheds, ancillary buildings and covered ways) with a replacement cost under $100,000; buildings that are classified as only requiring minimal maintenance or those that have been "mothballed"; and low value maintenance jobs (less than $5,000).
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation increased by $64.354 million to $1,890.798 million for 2018/19 due to a combination of:
- increased depreciation ($30 million increase) and capital charge ($17.685 million increase) related to the upward revaluation of the school property portfolio at 30 June 2018
- increased provision for the management of the school property portfolio, offset by gains from the sale of surplus properties ($13.394 million increase)
- increased provision for the management of the school property portfolio, offset by funding from successful legal claims associated with weather-tightness issues in schools ($4.616 million increase)
- provision for the leasing of temporary accommodation to allow for the decanting of students during major capital work projects ($4 million increase)
- increased provision for rental arrangements where building construction solutions are not available or are uneconomic ($3.970 million increase)
- a transfer from non-departmental output expense Secondary Education ($3.784 million increase) and increased funding ($350,000 increase) to address the migration of charter schools to the State system
- a property write-off cost for Auckland Normal Intermediate Fire ($1.300 million increase) and insurance proceeds for Westland High ($225,000 increase)
- increased settlement services to accommodate an increased refugee quota ($420,000 increase), and
- reduced capital charge resulting from slower-than-expected draw down of capital injections following delays in the capital expenditure programme ($15.390 million decrease).

DISCONTINUED Note 1 - Utilisation is expressed as the ratio of the number of classrooms a school is entitled to relative to its actual number of classrooms at the school. Classroom entitlement is calculated based on maximum roll figures, school types, Maori immersion rolls, special needs and technology aspects of the school. This measure covers about 70% of State schools in total and excludes schools with 100 or fewer students and schools which are less than 10 years old. Schools with enrolments of 100 students or fewer are excluded because small variations in enrolments will result in major changes in utilisation, and new schools are excluded because they would have been built in anticipation of future need for increased space.
REPLACEMENT Note 1 - This is a measure of the funding efficiency of teaching space provision in the school property portfolio, and does not directly measure the user experience at schools (eg, overcrowding). Running the large school property portfolio is expensive and good utilisation performance helps to minimise this cost. The target range of 75% to 105% recognises that below 75% there is likely to be excess capacity, which may be inefficient to operate or may be expensive to remove, and above 105% there may be a need for new teaching spaces to be built. The measure excludes schools with 100 or fewer students and new schools because our policy settings allow for different (lower) levels of utilisation for operational reasons. Nevertheless, the measure covers more than 90% of State schools by area, and nearly 95% by student enrolments.
DISCONTINUED Note 2 - The functionality measure is based on property-related elements of Innovative Learning Environment (ILE) assessments conducted by accredited assessors at the time each school prepares its 10-year property plan (10YPP). This measure is only available for a subset of schools at present (covering about 60% of State school buildings) but will be progressively applied across all schools as part of the property planning cycle. The functionality of buildings is scored on a nominal scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the highest functionality rating) based on the extent to which the building is assessed as being compliant (0%, 50% or 100%) with requirements for Designing Quality Learning Space (DQLS), Health and Hygiene (H&H) and Flexible Learning Spaces (FLS). A rating of 1 applies to buildings which comply with DQLS, H&H and FLS criteria. A rating of 2 applies to buildings which score 100% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 3 applies to buildings which have either a score of at least 50% for both DQLS and H&H criteria or 100% for one of these criteria. A rating of 4 applies to buildings which score 50% for one of the DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 5 applies to buildings which score 0% for both DQLS and H&H criteria.
REPLACEMENT Note 2 - This is a measure of the functionality of school property based on the most recent Innovative Learning Environment (ILE) assessments undertaken. ILE assessments are undertaken every five years for most schools as part of their 10-year property planning process. The functionality of buildings is scored on a nominal scale of 1 to 5 (1 being the highest functionality rating) based on the extent to which the building is assessed as being compliant (0%, 50% or 100%) with requirements for Designing Quality Learning Space (DQLS), Health and Hygiene (H&H) and Flexible Learning Spaces (FLS). A rating of 1 applies to buildings which comply with DQLS, H&H and FLS criteria. A rating of 2 applies to buildings which score 100% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 3 applies to buildings which have either a score of at least 50% for both DQLS and H&H criteria or 100% for one of these criteria. A rating of 4 applies to buildings which score 50% for one of the DQLS and H&H criteria. A rating of 5 applies to buildings which score 0% for both DQLS and H&H criteria. This measure covers the majority of school buildings (around 67% of buildings by area), and is increasing each year as more schools re-enter the 10-year property planning process.
DISCONTINUED Note 3 - The maintenance index is based on a nationwide physical inspection of school buildings. It is the ratio of each building's forward 10-year cost for maintaining the building to current standards relative to its replacement cost. The higher the ratio, the greater the degree of maintenance required. All other things being equal, a building with a higher ratio will tend to indicate poorer condition than a building with a lower ratio. This measure represents over 95% of total replacement value and about 70% of the number of buildings in the entire State school portfolio, excluding about 10,000 minor buildings such as sheds and covered walkways. For reporting purposes, building indices are shown on a scale from 1 to 5 (1 being the highest rating, defined as follows: 1 is an index of less than 5%, 2 is 5-10%, 3 is 10-20%, 4 is 20-30%, and 5 is over 30%).
REPLACEMENT Note 3 - This is a measure of the relative level of maintenance required across the portfolio based on the most recent condition assessments undertaken. Condition assessments are undertaken every five years for most schools as part of their 10-year property planning process. State school buildings with 10-year maintenance requirements that cost no more than 20% of their replacement value indicates these assets are being sustainably well maintained. The measure covers around 85% of buildings by area across 97% of schools. Exclusions are: minor school buildings (such as sheds, ancillary buildings and covered ways) with a replacement cost under $100,000; buildings that are classified as only requiring minimal maintenance or those that have been "mothballed"; and low value maintenance jobs (less than $5,000).
Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation decreased by $141.984 million to $969.211 million for 2018/19 due to a combination of:
- delays in construction of new schools, roll-growth classrooms and school redevelopments primarily due to capacity constraints within the construction industry ($183.790 million decrease)
- escalating land costs and a move to earlier land acquisition to improve preparation and planning for new school construction ($40.868 million increase), and
- the purchase and roll-out of new Information and Communications Technology (ICT) devices for staff, ongoing development of the Education Resourcing System, and upgrade of the school property asset management system ($938,000 increase).

Capital Injections | 313,263 | 223,618 | The $89.645 million decrease in injections is due to a combination of: delays in the school property capital works expansion programme covering new schools and roll-growth classrooms ($106.852 million decrease) and transfers from 2017/18 for the Christchurch Schools Rebuild programme ($12 million increase), school property capital works programme for additional non-teaching space ($3.703 million increase) and development of the Integrated Education Data programme ($1.504 million increase). |
Capital Withdrawals | (20,774) | (35,784) | The $15.010 million increase in withdrawals is due to transfers to: departmental output expense School Property Portfolio Management for leasing costs for short-term accommodation to decant students during refurbishment or renovation of an existing school building ($4 million) and the Cash for Buildings funding programme ($3.970 million); departmental output expense Support and Resources for Education Providers for Education Sector Technology Infrastructure programme ($1.850 million); and non-departmental output expenses International Education Programme to implement Export Education Levy policy ($4 million), Contribution to the Education Council of Aotearoa New Zealand ($1.190 million). |
Surplus to be Retained (Deficit Incurred) | (266) | (23,007) | The $22.741 million increase in net deficit is due to a remeasurement of net unrealised loss on interest rate swap derivatives with the NewZealand Debt Management Office ($29.074 million deficit) partly offset by the insurance proceeds from fire damage to Westland High School ($3.275 million surplus) and retention of third party contributions to the development of particular school building assets ($3.058 million surplus). |
