Mae’r datganiad yma i hysbysu’r aelodau ein bod wedi cytuno, ar y cyd â Chyngor Dinas a Sir Caerdydd, i gynnal adolygiad o Awdurdod Harbwr Caerdydd. Bydd yr adolygiad yn ystyried y trefniadau cyllido a rheoli presennol ar gyfer Morglawdd Bae Caerdydd, y llyn mewndirol a’r harbwr allanol o dan y cytundeb rhwng Gweinidogion Cymru a Chyngor Dinas a Sir Caerdydd. Cynhelir yr adolygiad gan Bartneriaethau Lleol (menter ar y cyd sydd ym mherchnogaeth Trysorlys ei Mawrhydi, y Gymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol a Llywodraeth Cymru).


Yn 2000, cytunodd Cyngor Dinas a Sir Caerdydd i ymgymryd â rôl Awdurdod Harbwr Caerdydd ac ysgwyddo hawliau a rhwymedigaethau’r corff a adwaenwyd yn flaenorol fel Corfforaeth Datblygu Bae Caerdydd o dan Ddeddf Morglawdd Bae Caerdydd 1993\. Sefydlodd Cyngor Dinas a Sir Caerdydd Awdurdod Harbwr Caerdydd fel isadran ar wahân i’r Cyngor i weithredu’r Awdurdod Harbwr yn unol â Chytundeb Adran 165 (y Cytundeb).  Yn dilyn diddymu Corfforaeth Datblygu Bae Caerdydd, o dan delerau’r Cytundeb (a’r Gweithredoedd Amrywio dilynol) daeth Gweinidogion Cymru yn gyfrifol am dalu’r symiau angenrheidiol i’r Cyngor i gyflawni ei rwymedigaethau statudol o dan Ddeddf Morglawdd Bae Caerdydd.   


Un o elfennau allweddol yr adolygiad fydd ystyried a oes cyfle i sicrhau gwell gwerth am arian wrth gyflawni swyddogaethau statudol yr awdurdod harbwr, gan gynnwys modd o sicrhau arbedion ariannol hirdymor a chyfleoedd i gynyddu’r gweithgareddau cynhyrchu incwm. Yn ogystal, bydd yn cynnwys adolygiad o delerau ac amodau presennol y Cytundeb gan roi ystyriaeth i’r gofynion gweithredol a’r risg. 


Mae’r Awdurdod yn chwarae rhan hollbwysig yn y gwaith o sicrhau bod Bae Caerdydd yn cael ei reoli’n effeithlon ac effeithiol. Gyda chefnogaeth Cyngor Dinas a Sir Caerdydd, mae wedi llwyddo i sefydlu’r Bae a’r adnoddau cysylltiedig fel amwynder cyhoeddus unigryw teilwng ar gyfer prifddinas sy’n edrych tua’r dyfodol. Nod yr adolygiad yw sicrhau bod gennym drefniadau cynaliadwy i alluogi’r Awdurdod i barhau i ymgymryd â’r rôl hon yn y dyfodol.

This statement is to inform members that we have agreed with Cardiff County Council to undertake a review of Cardiff Harbour Authority.  The review will consider the current arrangements for funding and managing the Cardiff Bay Barrage, the inland lake and the outer harbour under the agreement between the Welsh Ministers and Cardiff County Council (Cardiff CC). The review will be undertaken by Local Partnerships (a joint venture owned by HM Treasury, the Local Government Association and the Welsh Government).


In 2000 Cardiff CC agreed to take on the role of Cardiff Harbour Authority (CHA) and took on the rights and liabilities of the former Cardiff Bay Development Corporation (CBDC) under the Cardiff Bay Barrage Act 1993\. Cardiff CC established CHA as a discrete division of the Council to operate the Harbour Authority in accordance with a Section 165 Agreement (the Agreement).  Following the dissolution of CBDC the Welsh Ministers became responsible under the terms of the Agreement (and subsequent Deeds of Variation) to pay the Council the amounts necessary to fulfil its statutory obligations under the Cardiff Bay Barrage Act.


A key element of the review will be to consider whether there is scope to achieve improved value for money in the delivery of the statutory harbour authority functions including a means of securing longer\-term financial savings and opportunities for increased income generation activities.  It will also include a review of the of the Agreement’s existing terms and conditions to take into account operational requirements and risk. 


The Authority plays a crucial role in ensuring that Cardiff Bay is managed efficiently and effectively.  With the support of Cardiff County Council it has helped to establish the Bay and associated facilities as a unique public amenity worthy of forward looking capital city.  The review is designed to ensure that we have sustainable arrangements in place to enable the Authority to carry on performing this role into the future.
