5 1 Introduction Market Economics Ltd (M.E) has been commissioned by Progressive Enterprises Ltd to assess the potential economic and retail impacts of a proposed Countdown supermarket at Richmond, in Tasman District. A draft final version of this report was provided in October 2014, and has now been updated to take into account recently released Statistics NZ growth projections and changes in the retail demand and supply environments in the last six months. 1.1 Key Issues The proposed Countdown store would represent an increase of supermarket supply in Nelson- Tasman, and therefore change how consumers in the area access supermarket goods. That change is likely to result in some of the spending that is currently directed to existing supermarkets in the area being diverted away from those existing stores to instead be directed to the new Countdown store. This diversion will be likely to result in some decrease in sales of existing supermarkets, with potential flow-on effects for the retail centres those supermarkets are in. 1.2 Objective The specific objectives of this report are to: Examine current and future demand (to 2031) for supermarket capacity in the study area (Tasman District and Nelson City). Determine current supermarket supply in the study area, and identify any likely changes to that supply that is currently in the pipeline. Assess the likely direct retail effects of the proposed supermarket on existing retail centres in the study area. Assess the likely cumulative direct retail effects of the proposed supermarket and any other identified new supermarket supply on existing retail centres in the study area. Consider the likely flow-on, indirect effects of the proposed supermarket that will occur as a result of the direct retail effects. Consider other positive and negative economic effects of the proposed supermarket. 1.3 Methodology This section describes the methodology applied to estimate the direct and indirect retail impacts of the proposed Countdown Richmond supermarket. The key to the assessment is the M.E Nelson-Tasman Supermarket Model That Model analyses consumer demand (in dollar terms) directed to supermarkets and food and grocery stores in Nelson-Tasman, and is 3

6 built on an understanding of consumer origin-destination patterns. Although the proposed development is located within Tasman District, it is important to understand that the development site is close to the boundary with Nelson City, and that any retail and economic effects created by the Richmond Countdown would be expected to be experienced in both Nelson City and Tasman District. For that reason, both territorial authorities form the study area for this assessment. The Model is calibrated to describe the current demand-supply situation which serves as the basis to quantify the effect of changes (such as through the creation of new supply in the market or market growth) to that situation. The Model s engine identifies $ spending power from households (according to socio-demography), tourists and businesses, and includes demand projections based on household (and other growth). Modelled demand projections take into account projected changes in retail spend per household, actual store sales for existing Progressive stores and estimated store sales for non-progressive stores. To assess the expected retail and economic effects of the proposed supermarket, the key steps have been: Quantify market size and growth. Assess how supermarkets in Tasman and Nelson currently meet consumers demand. Assess how supermarket sales will change from current levels given expected market growth, assuming no change in the competitive environment (number or size of supermarkets). This becomes the assessment baseline against the with impacts scenarios are compared. Estimate sales performance of the proposed Richmond Countdown. Identify any other expected changes in supermarket supply in the study area, and estimate the sales performance of that increased supply. Assess changes in the sales of existing supermarkets with the addition of Richmond Countdown to the Nelson-Tasman supermarket supply environment, to produce trade competition impact estimates. Assess the cumulative effects of changes in the sales of existing supermarkets with the addition of both the Richmond Countdown and any additional new supply to the Nelson-Tasman supermarket supply environment, to produce trade competition impact estimates. Assess the likely flow-on effects of the trade competition impacts, to produce estimates of the indirect impacts of the proposed supermarket. It is these indirect impacts that are relevant in RMA terms. Summarise the implications and significance of these indirect impacts in RMA terms, considering the distinction between trade competition and effects that are of importance to urban form and sustainability. 4

7 2 Current Environment Overview This section describes how the supermarket marketplace currently operates in Nelson-Tasman to place the proposed supermarket in context. The assessment covers the current (2014) demand situation, and examines future growth projections for household growth and supermarket demand. 2.1 Nelson-Tasman Geography The geography of the study area is important because it is a strong determinant on the area s retail patterns. Although split across two territorial authorities, the Nelson-Stoke-Richmond urban area forms one nearly continuous built-up area stretching more than 15km from SH60 in the south to north of Port Nelson in the north. This urban area is relatively narrow, in most places less than 3km, being constrained by the coastline to the west and hills to the east. There are three main supermarket locations in this urban area: Nelson s CBD and the Stoke and Richmond town centres. These three centres are laid out along a south-west to north-east alignment following the coastal edge. There are also a number of other smaller retail areas, ranging from small convenience retail centres to stand-alone retail destinations (such as the Mitre 10 Mega on Quarantine Rd). There are two main roads between Richmond and Stoke: SH6 along the coast and Salisbury Rd less than 200m inland. This configuration is effectively a narrow neck through which all northsouth traffic passes, and will have some influence on the likely catchment of the proposed Countdown Richmond. Outside of this Nelson-Stoke-Richmond urban area, the large rural areas and rural towns of Tasman District are quite broadly spaced, and the towns function as service centres for their large rural catchments. It is this Nelson-Stoke-Richmond urban area that forms the study area for this assessment. 2.2 Retail and Supermarket Activity The Nelson CBD and Richmond and Stoke town centres are the focus for food and grocery retail in the urban area, and contain a significant quantum of other retail and service activity as well. Some 88% of Nelson City s supermarket and grocery employment (702 out of 770 MECs 1 ) is located in either the Nelson CBD (dominated by the four supermarkets) or the Stoke town centre (a Countdown and a New World), with less than 70 MECs recorded in all other locations, spread across a large number of small stores (dairies, superettes etc.) (Figure 2.1). 1 Modified Employment Count, a measure of employment that includes all paid employees and all working proprietors 5

8 That concentration is not so evident in Tasman District because there is a significant supermarket presence in outlying rural towns, especially Motueka. Within Richmond the two existing supermarkets (Pak n Save and Fresh Choice) are both located in the town centre.

Nelson CBD s total core retail employment is nearly 1,600 MECs, of which 1,029 MECs (65%) are engaged in comparison retail. Stoke s town centre is dominated by the two supermarkets, with 84% of its employment supermarket-based, and only 35 comparison retail MECs. Richmond s retail employment is also dominated by the two supermarkets, although 58% of its 1,134 MECs are engaged in comparison retail across a wide range of storetypes. In total there are around 100 retail stores located in the Richmond town centre, and a further 41 hospitality businesses (cafes, restaurants and bars). Total core retail employment in Richmond has increased by 30% since 2011 (260 MECs), including the recent openings of The Warehouse (July 2014) and K Mart (November 2013). The Richmond centre is well supplied with large retail anchors, and appears to have low vacancy levels. The largest supermarkets in the study area are the Richmond Pak n Save and the Trafalgar Park (4,240m 2 ) and Nelson (3,620m 2 ) Countdowns. For this assessment the Richmond Pak n Save is modelled as being 6,500m 2, which is the size we understand it will be by the end of 2015 after the recently started expansion of the store has finished. After that expansion, nearly half of the total supermarket gross floor area (GFA) in the study area will be located in the Nelson CBD, 33% in Richmond, and 20% in the two Stoke stores (Figure 2.2). 6

Because supermarkets are visited frequently by most consumers, consumers are typically not prepared to travel large distances to supermarkets, unless they have limited choice available (e.g. consumers in rural areas). This means that supermarket catchments are highly influenced by consumers proximity to stores, and in Nelson-Tasman means that most Nelson residents do their supermarket shopping in Nelson, and most Richmond residents shop in Richmond, with Stoke an intermediate destination serving a smaller market base. A number of sub-catchments have been defined for the purposes of this study, and these are then used as the basis for applying market penetration rates into each area. These catchments are shown in Figure 2.3. The market penetration rates have been calculated based on distance decay relationships derived from Progressive Onecard data and BNZ Marketview data in a number of jurisdictions around New Zealand. These data indicate predictable and consistent distance decay relationships in the supermarket sector. These relationships indicate that the highest penetration rates are expected to come from the catchments nearest the proposed store (Richmond central, south, west and south east), and together these sub-catchments form the Primary catchment of the proposed Countdown. Lower penetration is expected in other sub-catchments, with the next area out (Stoke south, Rural south) forming the Secondary catchment. Residents from these areas are most likely to use the proposed Richmond Countdown as a secondary choice of supermarket, with most of their supermarket spend directed to stores closer to where they live. The Stoke south subcatchment is not expected to form part of the Primary catchment because the relatively small population resident there are grouped in the northern parts of the sub-catchment, which are closer to the two Stoke town centre supermarkets. 7

10 Figure 2.3: Study Area Catchments Some additional custom for the Richmond Countdown would also be expected from consumers living outside the study area, although only very low shares of the total supermarket and grocery spend of those consumers would be expected to be directed to the Richmond Countdown. 2.4 Household Projections Statistics NZ recently (February 2015) released 2013-base population projections to a local Council level, which take into account the results of the 2013 Census and the best current understanding of growth expectations in each Territorial Authority (TA). More geographically detailed projections will be released near the end of 2015, along with household projections. We have applied the February TA-level projections for this assessment, and used them to rebase our household projections, which are the base demographic demand unit in our assessment. The resulting household projections then apply the TA-level quantum of household growth (from relationships between population and household numbers) and a distribution of growth from the most recent sub-ta projections (2012). The projections used in this assessment are therefore the most up-to-date available. The main source of customers for the proposed Richmond Countdown will be the Primary catchment, as described above, which is currently home to nearly 6,900 households (Figure 2.4). The slightly smaller Secondary catchment is home to 5,900 households, predominantly 8

11 located in the rural area to the south of Richmond. These Secondary catchment households will not direct as much of their spend to the Richmond store as will Primary catchment households. Together the Primary and Secondary catchments will form the store s MTA, which is currently some 12,800 households.

Household numbers in the Primary catchment are projected to increase by 23% out to 2031 (1,600 households), with similar growth projected for the Secondary catchment, with 1,300 additional households expected there by 2031 (an increase from 5,900 households in 2013 to 7,200 households in 2031). Growth in the rest of the District, which takes in most of Nelson City including Stoke central and the large rural parts of Tasman District, is projected to be in the order of 16% to Demand Projections Projections of supermarket and grocery store spending by study area households show similar patterns to household projections. Household growth in the Primary catchment is expected to drive an increase in demand for supermarket and grocery store products of $32m to 2031 (43%) (Figure 2.5). These growth rates take into account historically observed trends for households to spend more on retail goods over time, which is why the demand projections in Figure 2.5 exceed the household growth rates in Figure

Together then the total growth in demand for supermarket and grocery store space to 2031 from households in the MTA is projected to be $59m, resulting in 2013 base demand increasing from $140m to reach $199m by It is important to remember that not all of the spend resident in these areas would be directed to a Countdown in Richmond, even if it is the closest store to consumers. The presence of existing supermarkets and proximity to a wide range of other retail and services in Richmond will continue to make the Richmond town centre a popular retail destination for supermarket trips. 10

13 3 Performance of Proposed Store 3.1 The Proposed Store Progressive Enterprises proposal is to develop a new Countdown supermarket on a site on the corner of Salisbury and Champion Roads in Richmond, which is about 11km south of the Nelson CBD, 4km south of the Stoke town centre and 1.5km north of the Richmond town centre. The proposed development is called the Richmond Countdown in this assessment. The store will be 3,200m 2 GFA. In addition to the supermarket, the proposal is to develop 200m 2 of non-supermarket retail space abutting part of the northern wall of the store. Our understanding is that tenants have not been confirmed for that space yet, but we would anticipate that that amount of space might be occupied by either one or two small tenancies. From similar tenancies attached to other supermarket developments we anticipate that retail space might attract businesses such as prepared food retailers (e.g. a bakery or sushi shop), a small pharmacy, a lotto shop or a florist. 3.2 Sales Performance Supermarket Component To assess the potential sales of the proposed Richmond Countdown, we have used the catchments described earlier in this report as the base for estimating likely market share capture of demand across the study area. The capture rates we have assumed are consistent with what we know about how Countdowns attract consumers (the distance decay relationship with demand) in various markets around NZ, being highest close by the store and much lower when there is another store (of any brand) closer to consumers than the new store is. Capture rates for different parts of a supermarket s primary catchment can be as high as 30% close by (within 2km) a supermarket, depending on the competitive environment, ease of access to other stores and the existence of other types of retail that might keep visitors from leaving the primary catchment to do their shopping. We anticipate that the Primary catchment (Richmond) will be the largest source of customers for the Countdown, and that 21% of supermarket spend resident in this catchment will go to the store (Figure 3.1). The remaining spend resident in the Primary catchment is expected to continue to go mostly to the existing supermarkets in the Richmond town centre, and to a much lesser extent north to Stoke or Nelson. In total this would mean that 57% of the Richmond Countdown s sales would be made to Primary catchment households. The Richmond Countdown would have slightly lower market shares from the secondary catchment, as many residents in that catchment would be expected to continue to direct their supermarket spending to the stores in central Richmond or Stoke. 11

Sales to consumers resident in the Secondary catchment would be around $8.4m (29% of store sales), while sales to all other Nelson-Tasman residents would be around $0.7m. As with all supermarkets, there would also be expected to be a share of sales made to nonlocal consumers, and these are expected to be around 12% of Richmond Countdown sales ($3.5m). This level of spend from all other locations is consistent with how Countdowns tend to draw their sales, as there is always some proportion of their sales made to non-local consumers, such as people on holiday or passing by the store on long vehicle trips. This assessment is therefore based on a very strong focus on the Primary and Secondary catchments, a fact which is influenced by the geography of the Nelson-Stoke-Richmond coastal area and the large supermarket presence in the Nelson CBD. In total, we expect that a Countdown supermarket on the site being investigated would make sales of around $28.8m in 2016, which is the opening year assumed for the purposes of this assessment Non-Supermarket Component In addition to the supermarket component of the proposed Richmond Countdown, the proposal also includes provision for 200m 2 of non-supermarket retail space. As outlined above, that space might yield two tenancies, and sales of around $3,500-5,000/m 2, or say $750,000-$1m in annual turnover, although this is difficult to assess without knowing the type of tenants that might locate there. 12

15 4 Impact Assessment This section summarises the results of the impact assessment. 4.1 Impact Types There are two main types of potential effects of the proposed development relevant to this assessment: Direct Impacts: These arise when a new store opens and causes a redistribution of retail spending among existing stores, and a decrease in sales at some existing stores. Impacts of this type are the effects of trade competition, and cannot be considered under the RMA. Indirect Impacts: These arise as the flow-on consequence of direct impacts, and are relevant under the RMA. As consumer travel patterns change, patronage of the centres that those stores are in could also change. A decrease in patronage could have adverse impacts on centres amenity, vitality or vibrancy, making them less attractive places to visit. Indirect impacts may not occur if centre patronage does not change, such as when trips to a new development are additional to, and not a replacement for an existing centre visit. 4.2 Direct Retail Impacts Approach By applying the expected market shares that the Countdown Richmond will capture from each catchment to the total demand from that catchment, we have, in section 3.2, estimated the sales potential of the proposed store. We have then used the Nelson-Tasman Supermarket Model 2014 to apply the current origin-destination pattern (where people from each part of the study area spend at supermarkets), to the amount of spend that we expect the Countdown Richmond to capture from each catchment. That process yields an estimate of the amount of spend that will be diverted from each existing supermarket, based on the assumption that spend will be diverted from existing stores pro rata to their draw from each catchment. In our opinion that is a sound assumption to make, and it is likely to represent the patterns of diverted spend, and therefore be a robust basis for assessing direct sales impacts. We have assessed the trade competition impacts on grocery stores and dairies in the MTA in aggregate. These stores play a much different retail role than supermarkets, having a smaller range of products, more of a convenience role and a typically very localised customer base. Further, grocery stores and dairies are much smaller stores than supermarkets, are often located outside of centres, and tend to be of relatively small importance to the overall amenity of the centre if they are inside one, given their small size and low customer drawing power. We note that the Raewards Fresh store (which sells fruit and vegetables and meat) falls into the Richmond Grocery stores category. 13

16 The impacts presented describe the difference in store sales with the Countdown Richmond in operation in 2016 compared to their expected sales if the Countdown Richmond was not to open Scenarios Tasman District Council has accepted a private plan change request lodged by Foodstuffs which would enable a New World supermarket to be constructed at Richmond South. We have taken this into account in our assessment to show the cumulative effects of both of the potential new Richmond supermarkets (the Countdown and New World) on the existing environment. All of the scenarios include the cumulative effects of the proposed Coman Holdings Ltd development at 149 Salisbury Rd, across Salisbury Rd from the proposed Countdown site) 2, and all assume that the Richmond Pak n Save (currently undergoing expansion, scheduled to be completed in 2015) is operating at its new, expanded size. The Richmond Pak n Save is therefore part of the existing environment, while the scenarios describe alternative existing environments, depending on whether the Richmond Countdown and the Richmond New World open or not. To do this we present three scenarios: i) The Richmond Countdown opens, but the Richmond South New World does not. Sales impacts under this scenario are compared against the 2016 sales that would be expected if neither the Countdown nor the New World were to open. ii) iii) Both the Richmond South New World and the Richmond Countdown open. Sales impacts under this scenario are compared against the 2016 sales that would be expected if neither the Countdown nor the New World were to open. This scenario shows the cumulative effects on existing stores if both of these new stores were to open. As for scenario 2, but compared to a consented baseline in which the Richmond South New World is operating. The impacts under this scenario are lower, because impacts by the new New World have already been absorbed into the new (i.e. including the Richmond South New World) baseline environment. The Richmond South New World is expected to be 3,800m 2 GFA, and from our assessment would be likely to turnover around $34.2m on opening (again assumed to be 2016) (if the Richmond Countdown was not then operating). If both the Richmond South New World and the Richmond Countdown were to open by 2016, their respective sales would be somewhat lower than the base estimates which assume that only one of the two is open. If both are open, the New World sales would be around $29.1m, and the Countdown sales would be $25m. 2 Consented activities include one 200m 2 dairy, one specialty retail shop maximum 400m 2 GFA, and retailing activities with a GFA of m 2 that will principally involve the sale of outdoor sporting equipment and/or recreational goods with a tourism focus. 14

17 4.2.3 Results Scenario 1: Countdown Richmond Opens, New World Richmond South Doesn t If the Countdown Richmond supermarket opens but the Richmond South store does not, the former is projected to generate $28.8m in sales in its opening year (assumed for this assessment to be 2016). Our assessment indicates that that level of sales would be expected to divert around $15.4m in sales away from the Richmond Pak n Save, $4.0m away from the Richmond Fresh Choice, and $2.0m away from Richmond s grocery stores (Figure 4.1). Based on our understanding of how the supermarkets in these areas attract their customers, we would expect similar impacts in percentage terms on each store within the same area, so the two existing Richmond supermarkets would each experience impacts of -18% as a result of the proposed Countdown opening. If the proposed dairy in the Coman Holdings development also opens, the cumulative effects of both the dairy and the Countdown would be slightly (-18%).

The percentage impacts on individual stores turnover will vary depending on their location relative to the proposed store and the role they play within their catchment. For example, the trade competition impacts on the Raewards Fresh store across the road from the proposed Countdown would be likely to be higher than on grocery stores that are further away. Impacts on the stores in Stoke would be lower, at around -6% (or -7% including the Coman Holdings dairy), which reflects their greater distance from the proposed store, and the fact that their customer base is less likely to be induced to shop at the Richmond Countdown. The balance of sales ($0.6m) would come from all other locations combined. Scenario 2: Both Countdown and New World Richmond Open, New World in Baseline If both the Richmond Countdown and South Richmond New World were to open the impacts on existing centres would be somewhat higher than if only the Countdown opened (the case in scenario 1). If both stores opened, trade competition impacts on the existing Richmond 15

18 supermarkets and grocery stores would be expected to see sales there around 32% lower than they would be if neither store opened (or 33% including the cumulative effects of the Coman Holdings dairy), and impacts on the stores in Stoke would be around 11-12% (Figure 4.2).

This then reflects a different baseline compared to the current 2014 actual supply quantum which is applied in scenario 2, so the impacts summarised in this scenario are lower than those assessed in scenario 2. Further, the expected sales of the Richmond Countdown would be lower than they would be in the absence of the Richmond South New World, so the impacts assessed would also be lower than scenario 1. Under this scenario 3, the opening of the proposed Richmond South New World would result in impacts on the Richmond supermarket and grocery stores of -15%, and impacts on the Stoke stores would be around -5%.

19 4.2.4 Interpretation of Direct Retail Impacts These impacts are the direct retail impacts, and would be classified as trade competition impacts under the RMA. In our opinion the impacts assessed would not be significant enough to result in the closure of any supermarket, given: Some of the loss in sales by existing stores will be mitigated by market growth between now and the time the impacts occur (i.e. on opening in 2016). This market growth effect will equate to around 4% over the course of two years for the Richmond stores, given population growth and the ongoing increase in average household spend over time. The strategic importance of existing supermarkets in contributing to market share for both Foodstuffs and Progressive. The Richmond Pak n Save is the only Pak n Save in all of Nelson and Tasman and is currently estimated to be trading strongly and is currently undergoing a significant expansion. The low impacts likely for stores outside Richmond. There are currently a number of dairies and grocery stores in Richmond, including an On the Spot in Richmond South and the Richmond Bin Inn, and the Raewards Fresh food store opposite the proposed development. Given the impacts assessed on these stores, we do not anticipate that any of these stores would close given the convenience role they play for typically quite localised catchments and pass-by traffic Non-Supermarket Retail Component The non-retail component of the development is 200m 2, which as we have discussed in section might yield $750,000-$1m in annual turnover. The total non-supermarket retail sales of the Richmond town centre are estimated to be $144m 3. If all of the sales made by the nonretail part of the Richmond Countdown development were diverted away from existing Richmond town centre businesses, that diversion would equate to direct retail impacts of %. In reality the actual impacts on the Richmond town centre would be likely to be lower than that, given not all sales would be diverted from town centre businesses because: The 200m 2 of space might generate some small increase in total Tasman retail spending by providing new retail supply in a different (convenient) location, and; Of sales that are diverted away from existing businesses, not all would be expected to be diverted away from the Richmond town centre. 3 From M.E s Retail Demand and Supply Model 2013, which estimates retail turnover based on retail employment and regional productivity variations. 17

20 In our opinion even the maximum ( %) level of sales impact on the Richmond town centre would not be noticeable. Further, we do not expect that one or two small retail stores opening in this location would create any noticeable impacts on any other retail centre either, and any impacts would be limited to trade competition impacts. We note that those impacts would be in addition to any direct retail impacts on the Richmond town centre that might be created by the consented retail development at 149 Salisbury Rd (the Coman Holdings development ). That proposed development was consented by TDC in June 2014, and is proposed to contain one dairy, a specialty shop selling locally produced goods and up to 1,800m 2 of GFA, principally for the sale of outdoor sporting and recreational goods with a tourism focus. We would anticipate the Coman development to have very low impacts on the Richmond town centre given the limited class of activities described in the consent, the small amount of GFA relative to the total town centre GFA and the target market ( tourism focus from the consent) of the development. For these reasons the cumulative effects of this development and the non-supermarket space in the Countdown development on the Richmond town centre will be only very slightly higher than the % impacts of the non-supermarket space in the Countdown development. In our opinion even those cumulative effects on the town centre would still not be noticeable. 4.3 Indirect Centre Impacts Background Related to the direct (trade competition) effects are the potential flow-on effects on other types of retail and service activity, and the centres those activities are in. Those effects can arise where changes in supermarket travel patterns induced by a new supermarket lead to changes in the other outlets visited in conjunction with the supermarket trip. Those changes for other outlets, and the centres those outlets are in, are the indirect effects of the new retail development, and it is these effects that can be relevant under the RMA. However, for effects to be able to be considered under the RMA, they must go beyond direct (trade competition) effects and result in a serious decline in the viability of the centre as a whole, or the loss of employment on a significant scale. By way of indication, although notwithstanding that each case must be assessed depending on the specific factual context, indirect (not direct) impacts of as high as 26-31% have not been considered to be significant 4. For these reasons we have not assessed the indirect impacts on the Raewards Fresh store opposite the proposed development. Raewards Fresh is a stand-alone store that offers very limited amenity to the community other than providing access to fresh food. Given the similarity in product offer between it and the proposed Countdown, even if it were to close the community s ability to access the goods they sell would not change, and therefore there would be no indirect effects as a result of the trade competition impacts. 4 Bilimag Holdings v Waipa District Council, 8 June 2008, Whiting J, A72/08, Auckland. 18

21 4.3.2 Results A position seeking to prevent the proposed Countdown Richmond on the grounds of indirect impacts will therefore only be valid if such a level of decline was likely for any impacted centre. This report finds that the maximum direct effects on existing supermarkets would be 33% (on the two Richmond town centre supermarkets) if both the proposed Richmond South New World and the Countdown open, and the dairy in the Coman development opens. The indirect impacts would be significantly less than this, as explained below. The indirect effects would be significantly less than the direct effects on supermarkets because not all visits to a supermarket include visits to other outlets as well, and people who currently shop at non-supermarket stores are still likely to visit those centres with the same, or not much reduced, frequency as they previously have after the Countdown Richmond is open. The total sales generated within the Richmond town centre (including supermarket sales) are currently estimated to be around $273m. A decrease in Richmond supermarket sales of $36.2m ($m impact on Richmond Pak n Save and Richmond Fresh Choice, assessed under scenario 2, Figure 4.2) would equate to a decrease in total centre sales of around 13%. It is possible that non-supermarket spend could also be diverted away from the town centre, but this is in our opinion unlikely given the very small amount of non-supermarket retail space proposed for either the Richmond South New World or Richmond Countdown, and the limited alternative retail destinations in the southern part of the Nelson-Stoke-Richmond area. This indicates that total Richmond town centre sales might decrease by around 13% if both of the proposed new Richmond supermarkets and the Coman dairy open. However, not all of that decrease in sales will translate into a decrease in people activity in the Richmond town centre, because the Richmond town centre will remain the best way for consumers to meet most of their retail and service needs, and they will be able to meet only a very small part of their non-supermarket retail needs at Countdown Richmond, given the proposed 200m 2 of non-supermarket retail space. From detailed modelling we have undertaken in other studies, the relationship of direct to indirect impact on centres is usually within the range of 1: (i.e. indirect impacts are 50-75% as great as direct impacts). In this case then, a 13% direct impact on the Richmond centre (decrease in centre sales) might then translate into indirect impacts on the Richmond town centre of around 7-10%. A similar concept can be applied to the direct impacts calculated for the next most impacted supermarkets (in Stoke). The direct impacts on Stoke s supermarkets are projected to be much lower (12% under scenario 2) than they are on Richmond s supermarkets, although the Stoke town centre is much more dominated by supermarket sales than is the case in Richmond. This indicates that the indirect impacts on Stoke s town centre might be closer to the direct impacts at around 9%. These impacts on both the Stoke and Richmond town centres fall far short of a level of significance that means they are able to be considered under the RMA, and the impacts expected will be limited to a trade competition impact, which is not a relevant consideration 19

22 under the RMA. The magnitude of any indirect effects is expected to be much below a level of significance due to: the fact that the impacts will be predominantly spread across four supermarkets in Stoke and Richmond; the fact that no existing supermarkets or grocery stores are likely to close as a result of the proposed Countdown Richmond; the very small amount of other retail in the proposed Countdown development; the role of the existing supermarkets alongside a range of other activities in Richmond (other retail stores, offices, community services etc.); the current health of the Richmond town centre, with seemingly low vacancy rates and recent developments of new retail supply including The Warehouse, K Mart and the current expansion of the Pak n Save supermarket; the retail dominance of the Richmond town centre within the southern part of the study area. This role as the preeminent retail destinations in the area insulates the Richmond town centre to some extent from flow-on effects from the loss of a relatively small amount of supermarket sales. For these reasons we do not expect that the proposed development would result in significant adverse effects on any centre that would go beyond trade competition effects, and there would be no grounds for seeking to prevent the proposed development due to indirect impacts on centres in the study area. 20

23 5 Impacts on Stoke Centre An earlier version of this report was peer reviewed by Property Economics Ltd, as a result of which TDC made a Request for Further Information. The key issue that Property Economics felt required more detailed assessment was the potential impacts on the Stoke town centre, and in particular on the two Stoke supermarkets. This section provides that assessment, including the current performance of Stoke s two supermarkets, the origin of supermarket customers, and supermarket market share and viability. 5.1 Stoke Supermarket Performance Progressive Enterprises provided store sales and customer origin data for its Stoke Countdown store (one of the two Stoke supermarkets, the other being New World Stoke). We have used the Progressive data for this assessment of impacts on the Stoke centre. The data provided shows that the Stoke Countdown is performing strongly, and could withstand a significant decrease in sales without compromising the viability of the store. Neither Progressive nor M.E have any definite knowledge of the sales of the Stoke New World, however it is likely to be performing at a similar level to the Stoke Countdown, given they are in the same market, nearby each other and almost identical in size. Due to the similarity of the stores and their likely performance, we would assume that Foodstuffs would have a similar view of the viability of the Stoke New World to Progressive s view of the viability of the Stoke Countdown. That is, it is likely that the Stoke New World could also withstand a significant decrease in sales without compromising the viability of the store. 5.2 Customer Origins and Market Share Progressive have provided us with data from their Onecard loyalty card. That data records the meshblock origin and store destination of Onecard transactions, and is a representative sample of all customers spend at Countdowns. The Onecard data shows that there is a very well defined catchment for the Stoke Countdown which is limited to the Stoke urban area, and does not include the rural area between Stoke and Richmond (see Figure 5.1). The map shows total sales from each meshblock to Stoke Countdown as a share of total supermarket sales to all locations (i.e. Stoke CD s market share by meshblock). Total supermarket sales are estimated from our retail models. 21

24 Figure 5.1: Stoke Countdown Customer Origins I have defined subcatchments and used Onecard data to look at the share of Stoke Countdown sales that come from each area. The data shows that: Sales made to consumers living in the Stoke Primary North catchment are the highest proportion of sales by a significant margin. Sales to consumers living in this area are unlikely to be diverted to the new Richmond Countdown because there are already two Countdowns, and several other brands (including in Nelson), that are closer to those consumers than the new store will be. The next largest share of sales are made to consumers living in the Primary East and West subcatchments (the area of Stoke immediately south of the store). The Stoke supermarkets will be closer than the new store for these consumers, nevertheless some of these sales would likely be diverted to the Richmond Countdown. Only a very small share comes from the rural area between Stoke and Richmond ( Stoke Secondary South ). The Richmond Urban Area, and rural Tasman catchments contribute small proportions of the store s sales. The new store will be the closest Countdown for these shoppers, however there will be three other supermarkets closer for almost all of those shoppers. 22

25 A small share also comes from parts of Nelson outside Stoke, and from consumers not living in Nelson or Tasman. These consumers are unlikely to change their current shopping patterns if the Richmond Countdown opens. 5.3 Impact Scenarios and Viability We have used that customer origin data as the basis for modelling to assess the expected impacts of the proposed Richmond Countdown on the existing Stoke supermarkets. A key issue for the assessment is establishing the likelihood of one or both of the Stoke supermarkets closing as a result of trade competition impacts that would be created by the opening of the proposed Richmond Countdown. A supermarket store closure would be relevant in RMA terms because it would alter the functional amenity (access to supermarket supply) for Stoke residents, and therefore go beyond trade competition. However, we note that if one of the two supermarkets closed and the other remained open, residents will still have access to broadly the same range of supermarket goods and so the impact on the Stoke centre s amenity would not be significant in RMA terms. From the Onecard catchments in section 5.2 we have looked at several different scenarios of the quantum of spend that is currently directed to the Stoke Countdown but which might be diverted to go to the new Richmond CD. If 25% of the spend currently coming from the Primary East, West, Richmond Urban and Other Tasman areas to the Stoke Countdown shifts to the Richmond Countdown, along with 50% of spend in the Secondary South, impacts on Stoke Countdown would be 9%. I consider this to be a reasonable representation of what might happen, and again it is similar to the impacts assessed in section Even if twice as much spend is diverted from the Stoke Countdown and New World (requiring the new store to have a 50% market share across Stoke and Richmond), impacts on those stores would be 19%, which would not threaten their viability, based on current sales performance. From our assessment it is highly unlikely that half of the spend from all of those areas would be diverted from its current destination to go instead to the new Richmond Countdown, for a number of reasons: In a market with multiple supermarkets to choose from, it is very unlikely that any single store wold obtain a 50% market share of broad areas such as those assessed in the scenario above. Existing stores in both Richmond (especially the Pak n Save) and Stoke are very popular stores (as shown by the Stoke Countdown s high $/m 2 sales and Pak n Saves current store expansion), so a 50% flight to go to a new Countdown is unlikely. 23
