1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide advice to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board regarding the granting of a lease to Canterbury Genealogy Society Incorporated over part of the building at Parkview Lounge being part of the wider Parklands Community Centre. This report has been written as the current lease has expired and the group is seeking a further lease.
1.2 The Canterbury Genealogy Society was previously known as New Zealand Society of Genealogist – Canterbury Branch but have recently become an incorporated society in their own right due to the larger organisation having financial difficulties and the Canterbury branch being financially secure; this is to ensure they can keep providing their services to the community.
1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by an assessment of the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and there being little to no cost to the Council in approving the proposed lease.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board:
1. Grants a lease to Canterbury Genealogy Society Incorporated over part of Parklands Community Centre known as Parkview Lounge located at 75 Queenspark Drive for a period up to five years at an annual rental of $5,200 per annum plus GST with three-yearly rent reviews in accordance with section 61(2A) of the Reserves Act 1977.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Run a Request for Proposal (RFP) tender process for the lease of the space.
4.2 The advantage of an RFP is that it opens up the opportunity to other community groups.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

1. Brief Summary
1.1 The purpose of this report is to request the approval of the Waitai Coastal Burwood Community Board to implement the new scheme design for the section of Travis Road between the ANZAC Drive and Bower Avenue intersections as shown in Attachment A.
1.2 The new design was developed after the previous scheme design was not approved by the Community Board due to the concerns raised by local businesses.
1.3 This report has been written following staff discussions with Councillors Daniels (Coastal Ward) and Mauger (Burwood Ward) and after obtaining the Community Board’s approval in May 2021 to proceed with the new scheme design.
1.4 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by applying the assessment criteria in the Significance and Engagement Policy Worksheet.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board:
1. Pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 approves:
a. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Travis Road commencing at a point 150 metres west of its intersection with Bower Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres as shown in Attachment A (RD359401 Issue 1 dated 3/2/2022).
b. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Travis Road commencing at a point 130 metres west of its intersection with Bower Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 36 metres as shown in Attachment A (RD359401 Issue 1 dated 3/2/2022).
c. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Travis Road commencing at a point 70 metres west of its intersection with Bower Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 9 metres as shown in Attachment A (RD359401 Issue 1 dated 3/2/2022).
d. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Travis Road commencing at a point 55 metres west of its intersection with Bower Avenue and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 28 metres as shown in Attachment A (RD359401 Issue 1 dated 3/2/2022).
2. Revoke any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described above.
3. That these resolutions take effect when the traffic control devices that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Throughout 2016 and 2017, a Transport Network Improvement scheme for Travis Road, Bower Avenue and the internal roading network within QEII Park was developed through a multi-agency partnership approach. This involved Council transport and facilities management staff along with representatives of Ministry of Education (MoE), Environment Canterbury (Ecan), Red Bus, New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA, now Waka Kotahi) and the NZTA-led ‘Safer Journeys to School’ working group (that also comprised of multiple agency stakeholders).
3.3 The approved scheme included the installation of cycle lanes along both sides of Travis Road between Anzac Drive/Frosts Road and Bower Avenue. To accommodate the cycle lanes in the road section between Wattle Drive and Bower Avenue, the existing flush median needed to be removed in order to retain existing on-street parking.
3.4 For various reasons, including confusion over project scope and associated responsibilities between the Council and the MoE’s project team working on the QEII Schools development, implementation of the approved scheme was not completed east of the QEII Schools boundary on the north side of the road and east of Wattle Drive on the south side of the road.
3.5 The partial completion of the eastbound cycle lane on the north side of the road, and its abrupt termination east of the Schools site, also resulted in a significant road safety issue. To address the identified road safety issue, and following clarification of project scope and responsibilities (between the Council and the MoE/QEII Schools project team), staff from the Council’s Traffic Operations Team sought to complete installation of the approved scheme in May 2019 (including removal of flush median and installation of cycle lanes). This action was met with opposition from local businesses, who questioned the need for the cycle lanes and raised safety-related concerns about the planned removal of the flush median. A number of events followed this, including a Board deputation and presentation of petition against the proposed works by a local business owner, a site meeting with the business owner, staff and Community Board members, as well as a number of meetings and communications between staff the Community Board.
3.6 The current situation is that the scheme remains only partially implemented, cycle lanes have not been installed on Travis Road between Bower Avenue and Wattle Drive, and the flush median remains in place.
3.7 After discussions with Councillors Daniels and Mauger, it was decided that the flush median will be retained as per the request of the businesses nearby. In order to accommodate the cycle lanes on both sides of Travis Road and retain the flush median, parking has to be prohibited along one side of the road.
3.8 Based on the existing demand, staff feel that parking needs to be retained along the southern side of Travis Road between the Bower Avenue and Wattle Drive intersections. Parking on the northern side needs to be prohibited to accommodate the flush median and cycle lanes within the available road width.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The previously approved design which involved removal of the flush median and retaining the on street parking spaces on both sides.
4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:
· Provides a safe cycling infrastructure.
· Retains existing on-street parking spaces.
4.1.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
· Does not address the request of the adjacent business owner(s) and some members of the public to retain the existing flush median.
4.2 Maintain the status quo.
4.2.1 The advantages of this option include:
· Retains existing on-street parking spaces.
· Addresses the request of the adjacent business owner(s) and some members of the public to retain the existing flush median.
4.2.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
· Does not provide a safe cycling infrastructure.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 The Transport Network Improvements scheme for Travis Road and Bower Avenue, previously approved by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board on 19 March 2018 and the Council on 22 November 2018, remains only partially implemented. Specifically, approved road layout changes including the installation of cycle lanes, have not been competed on the section of Travis Road between Bower Avenue and Wattle Drive.
5.2 As discussed earlier, this was due to the opposition received for the planned removal of the existing flush median from some local business owners, occupiers and some members of the public in the local community.
5.3 The design has been altered to accommodate the flush median and the cycle lanes on both sides of the road by removing the on street parking spaces along the northern side of Travis Road between the Bower Avenue and Wattle Drive intersections.
5.4 As mentioned in 0, the shared paths and cycle lanes around this location were approved by the Council in November 2018. The Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board’s approval is required for the general layout, new road markings and parking restrictions.
5.5 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented in this financial year or in the early stages of the next financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.6 An information leaflet detailing the parking removal and line marking changes was emailed to 11 key stakeholders, including local schools and cycling groups.
5.7 Staff also hand delivered information leaflets to the affected properties and spoke to the businesses on Travis Road between Wattle Drive and Bower Avenue including the school.
5.8 Any comments could be emailed directly to the project team by Tuesday 29 March 2022. No feedback was received within this time.
5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance has no concerns with the preferred option.
5.10 The alternative options considered are contrary to the Council’s goal of providing a safe cycling infrastructure or the local community’s preferences.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 The Council’s strategic priorities have been considered in formulating the recommendations in this report. Provision of safe cycling infrastructure helps promote more sustainable transport mode choices, thereby supporting the Council’s strategic priority of ‘meeting the challenge of climate change through every means available’.
6.2 This report also supports:
6.2.1 Activity:
· Level of Service: Level of Service: 10.5.42 Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes.
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.5 Both the previously approved scheme and the newly proposed scheme include measures to encourage cycling, which has associated positive changes in terms of reduced carbon emissions and effects of Climate Change.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.6 Provision of safe cycling infrastructure helps to provide road users and people in the community with different, and sustainable, transport mode choices to meet their individual accessibility needs.
6.7 Removal of parking, indicated in the alternate scheme option, may impact on accessibility to local businesses and services for some people.

Support the community-led action plan for Brooklands |
The first of the evening hui’s was held on 4 May 2022 at Kāinga Community Hall and was attended by 18 residents from the Brooklands suburb. Participants had the opportunity to view the ideas and suggestions for the action plan that have been collated so far through the conversations held to date at the Tuesday morning hui’s at the Styx River boat ramp.
An issue that has been raised consistently is the frequency of occurrences of car racing, burn-outs and anti-social behaviour which is causing the community a lot of distress and anxiety. Having had little success in resolving the issues as a community, two residents made a public forum presentation to the Waitai Community Board on 16 May 2022 on behalf of the Brooklands community to ask for assistance in finding some solutions.
To address this staff have initiated a project and started to investigate a range of measures which could be implemented. So far these have included acting on a suggestion from the community that a second set of prohibition signs either side of the start of the suburb are installed, as reminder of the by-law in place which restrict the entry of non-residents to Brooklands during evenings from Thursday to Monday.
The Residential Red Zone team have also organised for Brooklands to be included in the pulse of after-hours patrols through red zone areas that P4G have been contracted to undertake for the next 3 to 6 months, which will hopefully have a positive effect on deterring some of the anti-social behaviour they are experiencing.
The project is a collaboration between the Waitai Community Governance team, Traffic Operations, Residential Red Zone teams, the local policing team and the Brooklands community to try and find solutions to the issues.

· Te Waka Aroha opening
Te Waka Aroha St Faiths Church on Shaw Avenue in New Brighton welcomed back the community at its opening event on Saturday 28 May. The iconic building was damaged in the 2010-2011 earthquakes and required extensive repair work for the roof and stonework, an electrical upgrade and restoration work on the windows. Unfortunately the insurance pay-out did not cover all of the work and some of the unforeseen costs and so the community rallied and have been fundraising ever since to help restore the historic church.
The much loved landmark is so much more than just a place of worship. It serves as a community hub, where local people are welcomed and accepted with is lounge open to the public Monday to Friday for locals to drop-in. Te Waka Aroha Community Project host coffee mornings, a weekly community luncheon, weekly fruit and vegetable cooperative, exercise groups, music, arts and craft groups and foot clinic. The group also host a community fridge and pantry where food is provided every day of the week and an Artisan shed on site from which pottery classes are available. ReNew Brighton and Brighton Observatory of Environment and Economics we’re two groups who quickly jumped at the chance to get involved and have now added to the vibrant community of groups who use the facility as their as their base.
The opening was an opportunity to congratulate and thank all those who helped realise the vision for St Faith’s restoration. Around eighty people went along to join the celebrations including local resident Margret Templeton who’s grandmother had attended the church many years before, who had the honour of cutting the ribbon to officially open the facility.
· Donald's Cabin Opening
New Brighton Community Gardens held the official opening of Donald's Cabin on Wednesday 18 May with a beautiful ceremony late afternoon. The ceremony kicked off with speeches from Lin and Catherine from the Gardens, Adam Parker from the DIA and then Donald himself who gave his heartfelt speech in sign language which was translated for his audience by one of his carers.
Deaf and blind artist Donald Gibson has relocated to the gardens when his old studio at New Brighton School was set to be demolished. Wanting to stay in the area, staff at the Gardens saw this as a really good fit in their already creative space and in an overwhelming response, the community soon rallied together to secure funding and build Donald a kitset cabin over a number of weekends.
The ceremony was a beautiful event celebrating and showcasing the garden, home-grown and home-made kai, art, the volunteer's and most of all community. The event highlighted just what can be achieved when tangata come together to drive a project and make it happen.

· Brooklands Community Planting Day
Pūharakekenui Styx Living Laboratory Trust held a planting day on Saturday 28 May along the river bank running from the junction of Earlham Street and Lower Styx Road. Along with staff from the Trust, a handful of volunteers from Brooklands and Spencerville went along to help dig in around 500 native plants along the upper banks across four former residential sections down the river.
The planting day was part the Immediate Steps Project, funded by Environment Canterbury and is the Pūharakekenui’s first project in the lower part of the Styx River. The project focuses on removing exotic weeds, controlling willow and under-planting with native eco-sourced plants along the riparian margins in Earlham Street which, once established, will provide an interactive link between the surrounding land and the aquatic system.
The planting day was the first of many planned for the Lower Styx which will help improve water quality and enhance aquatic life by filtering out sediment and nutrients from roads and farmland before they enter the waterways and help to prevent erosion of the banks. The project aims to see native vegetation dominating again across planted areas, increased bird, fish, invertebrate and lizard species abundance, reduced or eliminated presence of targeted weed species and improved condition, extent and density of mahinga kai species at the project site by 2050.
The morning was rounded off with a community BBQ provided by the Residential Red Zone and Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Governance teams, partnering up to provide the volunteers with a well-earned break after all that planting, a chance to enjoy some kai and kōreroero with staff about the project.

3.4 Governance Advice
3.4.1 Aranui Future Streets Insights Report
Following the public forum presentation made by Yani Johanson to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board on 11 April 2022, Council Officers have looked into the requests made which are in italics below. Please see below the Officer’s recommendation on proposed next steps relating to the Aranui Future Streets Insights Report.
•That the Community Board amend its Community Plan to include reference to the Future Streets Aranui insights reports and include an action to commit to its next steps as a priority.
Due to the close proximity to the end of the term, amending the Community Board Plan would not be recommended and any changes/suggestions should be tabled when the new Board has had an opportunity to discuss their Community Board Plan. Further staff investigations identified that there has not been a push or drive from the community regarding this project.
•That the Community Board consider in its submission to the Council’s draft annual plan making reference to resources and support to continue the next steps of the Future Streets Aranui insights report.
The Community Board have already lodged their submission to the Council’s Draft Annual Plan 2022-23 prior to this public forum presentation, therefore this request could not be actioned.
