Part B
5.1 |
David Gardner – Slow Speed Neighbourhood – Papanui, and Cranford Street Parking Restrictions |
David Gardner spoke to the Board regarding Item 7, Slow Speed Neighbourhood - Papanui. He also spoke to Item 9, Cranford Street near McFaddens Road - Proposed P10 and No Stopping Restrictions. Mr Gardner thanked the organisation for progressing the slow speed neighbourhood, describing it as helpful for cyclists with children, and approving of the extension of the slow speed zone further to the consultation. However, he considered that there was still an issue on Rutland Street with the placement of the speed transition from 30km/h to 40km/h right before the kindergarten and cycleway crossing, and near the corner with Tomes Road and its entrance to the school. Mr Gardner suggested that the speed transition should instead be close to Mays Road. Mr Gardner referred to his slides (attached), the second of which, taken from the transition point, indicated with a green circle the kindergarten where parents are likely to cross the road with their children. Mr Gardner expressed concern that motorists would be starting to accelerate from the point of the kindergarten, to support his belief that the 30 km/h zone should start close to Mays Road. Mr Gardner suggested that the squeeze point close to Mays Road with the cycleway crossing, shown on his third slide, would be a more natural and appropriate point for the speed transition. Mr Gardner also considered it would be good to reduce the speed on Papanui Road and Main North Road, given the number of pedestrians who cross those roads. Mr Gardner further discussed issues around Main North Road near St Joseph’s School and continuing on Main North Road outside Northlands Mall in relation to vehicle interactions with cyclists. Mr Gardner finally spoke approvingly of the parking restrictions proposed in Item 9, suggesting similar restrictions would be of benefit outside Placemakers on Cranford Street in regard to sight lines for motorist-cyclist interactions, as would removing further vegetation in this vicinity to avoid it becoming overgrown and hindering those sight lines. Mr Gardner also noted the pub in this vicinity placing their portable sign on the shared path taking up some of its width from its proper purpose. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Gardner for his presentation. |

Susan Peake – Slow Speed Neighbourhood - Papanui |
Susan Peake spoke to the Board regarding Item 7, Slow Speed Neighbourhood - Papanui. Ms Peake was supportive of the slow speed proposal and began her presentation by observing that there had been an increase in rat running in the area. Ms Peake’s presentation then focused on difficulties with the intersection of Grants Road, Gambia Street and Rayburn Avenue, and also her concern over signalled development in the area, particularly in Cranford Basin, and the resulting traffic impacts. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Peake for her presentation. |
5.3 Fiona Bennetts - Slow Speed Neighbourhood - Papanui |
|
Fiona Bennetts spoke to the Board regarding Item 7, Slow Speed Neighbourhood - Papanui. Ms Bennetts was supportive of the slow speeds proposal, though favoured speed reductions also being applied to the main roads / arterial routes, such as Main North Road, Papanui Road and Harewood Road. Ms Bennetts also clarified, upon being questioned on the point, that she favoured adding a speed reduction for Sawyers Arms Road, at least to the rail crossing, noting her observations of how busy the Domain there gets, and the traffic going to Northlands Mall and the Graham Condon Centre. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Bennetts for her presentation. |
5.4 Joanna Gould - Shirley Community Reserve |
|
Joanna Gould spoke to the Board regarding the Shirley Community Reserve as a matter discussed in Item 13, the Community Board Area Report, with a related memo attached to that Report. Ms Gould spoke to her attached supporting links, focusing on her case that Shirley Library should be relocated and upgraded to the Shirley Community Reserve (10 Shirley Road) site, among other needs and benefits for the community that could be fulfilled through the site. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Ms Gould for her presentation. |

Charlotte French of GHD lead the presentation of the report to the Board, with the support of the Council’s Engagement Advisor speaking to the consultation undertaken, and the Council’s Senior Transportation Engineer assisting. The Board received the deputations at the meeting on this item from submitters, David Gardner, Susan Peake and Fiona Bennetts. Board Comment The Board broadly accepted the Officer Recommendations as noted in the Report, except that further to its consideration of the submissions and deputations on the proposal, and staff reconsideration at the meeting further to hearing those deputations, where staff clarified that a variable 30 km/h school speed zone on Main North Road for St Joseph’s School, and further speed reductions on viable parts of Sawyers Arms Road and Rutland Street, could be accommodated, the Board decided to recommend that:
· A variable 30 km/h speed limit be installed on Main North Road (School Zone) commencing at a point 38 metres south of its intersection with Cranford Street and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 200 metres, with times of operation evidenced on the sign detail (Board recommendation 2 is accordingly additional to the Officer Recommendations). · A greater length of Rutland Street, from Tomes Road to nearer Mays Road, be set at 30 km/h, instead of 40 km/h (clauses 1zzzz and 1aaaaa of the Officer Recommendations in the Report are accordingly different as to the distances noted there compared to what the Board decided to recommend); · A length of Sawyers Arms Road, slightly more extensive than between the rail crossing and Sisson Drive, be set at 30 km/h, instead of the existing 50 km/h (Board recommendations 3-6 are accordingly additional to the Officer Recommendations). The Board received advice from staff at the meeting that extending a 30km/h zone on Sawyers Arms Road to Main North Road could not be accommodated under the relevant Rule, and that the extension of the 30km/h zone on Rutland Street could not (as a legality) be justified under the Rule by the location of the pre-school there, but could be justified by the clear change point in the nature of the street at the reconsidered speed transition point close to Mays Road. The Board’s Minutes Attachments for this item are: the Proposed Speed Limit Map (Attachment A to the Report) as updated to reflect the Board's recommendations to the Council; and staff’s earlier advice in response to a Board request, which was shared at the meeting to explain the exclusion of Main North Road from the slow speed neighbourhood. The Board also agreed (in Board recommendations 9 and 10) to make and highlight note to the Council of: · The Board’s request to staff to progress toward the business area of Papanui, Harewood and Main North Roads being reduced to 30 km/h when funding becomes available. · The submissions from the Northcote suburb and from the opposite side of Harewood and Papanui Roads, and the Board’s will to see these areas become a slow speed neighbourhood.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the Board’s recommendation to Council to deal unilaterally with the Shirley Community Trust (SCT) and to approve the ‘gift’ of the MacFarlane Park Centre building at 19A Acheson Avenue on MacFarlane Park to SCT together with the grant of a lease of the land (ground lease).
1.2 The building, which was originally gifted to Council by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), was relocated to MacFarlane Park in 2018. SCT has occupied and operated the building since then. There is currently no formal ground lease between the Council and SCT.
1.3 Officers received a formal request and supporting proposal from SCT to consider the transfer of building ownership from Council to SCT which is supported by the LCIF and Council staff.
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 an assessment determining that the matter is of a local nature and supports an incumbent tenant contributing significantly to the continued empowerment and strengthening of the local Shirley Community. The property is not categorised as a strategic asset.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board:
1. Recommends that Council:
a. Agrees to depart from policy and deal unilaterally with Shirley Community Trust (SCT);
b. Agrees to gift the MacFarlane Park Centre at 19A Acheson Avenue to SCT for the sum of $1 (the gift being conditional on Council having a first right of refusal option to take back the building from SCT Trust at the sum of $1) and;
2. Conditional on recommendation 1a and 1b, grants a ground lease over that part of the land parcel described as Pt Lot 2 DP 17482 (herein referred to as 19A Acheson Avenue) shown as Areas A and B on the lease plan below in paragraph 5.9 for a period of 33 years, including rights of renewal, at a rental to be determined in accordance with the Council’s policy for setting rentals to community and sports organisations occupying parks or reserves.
3. Authorise the Manager Property Consultancy to negotiate, conclude and administer all the agreements necessary to facilitate recommendations 1 and 2 above on terms and conditions acceptable to him, and in doing so make any decisions necessary to give effect to this.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 In gifting the building and granting a ground lease to SCT it assumes full responsibility and cost liability for all building and ground maintenance, rates and other outgoings. Council retain a first right of refusal to take back the building from SCT for $1 should SCT no longer require, or is unable to operate from, the building.
3.2 The recommendations support the Council’s Community Facilities Network Plan 2020, specifically:
That Council and Community Boards will make decisions on the future support of the city-wide provision of community facilities on a facility by facility basis but based on an informed understanding of the wider network and decision making considerations presented in the Plan.
To optimise the Council’s community facilities portfolio there is a need to ensure that all facilities fulfil a role within the network. To date the Council’s processes when adding, changing or removing facilities have been ad hoc or focused on individual circumstances rather than looking at the overall network.
The Community Facilities Network Plan is intended to ensure that the best decisions are made on a sustainable future network optimising community resources including people, time and money.
3.3 Advantages for Council:
· Transfers ownership of a depreciating asset to SCT where it will be valued.
· Existing maintenance, repair and renewal budgets will be used on other community facilities in the portfolio.
· The land (park) remains in Council ownership.
· The Council supports the community by providing a built asset that can become a self-sustaining community facility which compliments the objectives of SCT’s adjacent MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre and its wider community and the Community Facilities Network Plan.
· The transfer preserves the LCIF’s desire that the building continues its function as a valuable community hub.
· The transfer to SCT is supported by the LCIF who acknowledge SCT as a financially robust and sustainable community organisation.
3.4 Advantages for SCT:
· It provides them with certainty and autonomy.
· Ownership of the building provides improved access for programme delivery and external funding sources.
· A low risk of being left with a building they can’t use/sell, as it reverts to Council.
· Continued ability to support and provide established services and activities which empower and strengthen the local and wider Shirley community.
3.5 Disadvantages:
· The Council gift an asset to SCT and lose control of the building asset with a book value of $305,000
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Retain the Status Quo – the outreach services provided by SCT to the community would continue but the opportunity for Council to activate its preference to have a greater number of facilities community operated through partnership agreements (in this case enabling SCT to own the building) would be lost. The ongoing building maintenance and future works costs would continue to require currently unspecified and unbudgeted Council funding.
4.2 Council declares the building surplus and sells it in the open market – aside from undermining SCT’s ability to provide its current level of outreach services to the community the LCIF would not support this option given its longstanding commitment to providing the building specifically for the purposes of supporting community resilience, engagement and participation.
4.3 Carry out a Request for Proposals procurement process seeking proposals to manage and activate the building as a community centre – this option has been discounted as there is a bona fida community organisation (SCT) who have actively provided, developed and enhanced outreach services and activities to the community from the site for over 20 years, and are proactively seeking ownership and use of the facility.
4.4 Remove SCT, retain the building and include it in the community facility portfolio available for members of the public to hire with Council officers administering the bookings, invoicing, weekly inspections and maintenance follow-up – not considered a tenable option from a political, community or Council funding perspective.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Context
5.1 There are three separate community based buildings located on that part of MacFarlane Park referred to in this report as 17, 19 and 19A Acheson Avenue and shown below as A, B and C on the diagram below.
· Building A (17 Acheson Avenue) – Play Centre Building - KidsFirst Kindergarten own the building; a ground lease from Council is pending formal approval.
· Building B (19 Acheson Avenue) – MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre – SCT own the building; no ground lease currently in place.
· Building C (19A Acheson Ave) – MacFarlane Park Centre – currently owned by Council; tenanted by the SCT; no ground lease currently in place.
5.2 The future ownership of the MacFarlane Park Centre (Building C), and lease of the land it sits on, is the subject of this report.
5.3 The grant of a ground lease to SCT over the land occupied by the MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre will be the subject of a separate report to the Community Board.
The Lions Club International Foundation’s Transitional Building
5.4 The MacFarlane Park Centre building was originally owned by the Lions Club International District 202E Charitable Trust (LCIF). Following the post-earthquake demolition of several community buildings in the Shirley / St Albans area the LCIF offered the building to Council in 2012 as a transitional community facility for the area pending construction of the new St Albans Community Centre.
5.5 Subsequently, funding to enable the transitional facility to be relocated to MacFarlane Park in support of the Shirley community was approved by Council in 2017 (CNCL/2017/00292) with the building being formerly gifted by the LCIF to Council by way of a Deed of Gift in March 2018 (Refer Attachment A).
5.6 With the support of the LCIF, Council and the local community the transitional building was activated by the SCT to continue and expand the community development work it had been undertaking from the Neighbourhood Centre at MacFarlane Park since 2000.
5.7 With the confirmed support of the LCIF the SCT now wish to assume ownership of the building.
The Land and Building
5.8 The land parcel containing the MacFarlane Park Centre, which extends to around 2797m2, is fee simple, described as Pt Lot 2 DP 17482 and gazetted as Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve. It is treated as a park in accordance with the definition in Section 138 of the Local Government Act 2002.
5.9 Within that land parcel the ground lease area occupied by the MacFarlane Park Centre is shown as Areas A and B on the plan below.
5.10 The building (A), which extends to some 133m2, includes a main community hall, meeting room, kitchen, store room and unisex/accessible toilet facilities.
5.11 Opening out onto MacFarlane Park the land (B) incorporates an accessible ramp, ancillary shed, bike stand, general landscaping and three sealed car park spaces (including one accessible space) accessed from Acheson Avenue.
5.12 The Parks unit administer the land while the Community Support & Partnership Unit (CSP) are currently responsible for the building.
Zoning
5.13 The property is zoned Open Space Community Parks under the Christchurch District Plan.
5.14 The zoning allows for formal and informal recreation activities and the current use as a community centre is considered a permitted activity under the zoning.
Asset – Current Value
5.15 The current book value of the building is $305,000.
Asset – Current Cost to Council
5.16 A detailed condition assessment of the building has been undertaken by Citycare. Annual scheduled maintenance and operating costs are currently estimated at $6,506.28 excluding depreciation.
5.17 These annual costs, together with estimated planned work for the 2022 – 2032 period, are estimated at $87,203.70. Beyond that, planned work costs increase incrementally over the 50 year cycle to 2071. Refer Attachment B.
5.18 There is no budget in the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan to address the lack of operating expenditure (including maintenance, capital replacements and renewals) for this building.
5.19 The expectation is that any revenue generated by a community organisation will cover agreed operating expenses.
SCT Background and Proposal
5.20 A formal request to purchase the MacFarlane Park Centre from Council was received from SCT on 23 July 2021. A copy of this request together with supporting business case information provided by SCT subsequently is appended as Attachment C.
5.21 SCT’s mission statement is “responding in Christian love to the local needs holistically by empowering people through a range of community development initiatives in the Shirley community”.
5.22 They have owned and operated the adjacent MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre building since 2000, providing an increasing range of grass roots community based projects, services and activities, many in collaboration with other Christchurch community organisations.
5.23 In addition to managing (and maintaining / refurbishing) the MacFarlane Park Centre since 2018 they also own and operate four shops in the Briggs Road shopping complex.
5.24 Following receipt and review of the Council’s annual and planned work cost estimates for the building (referenced above in paragraphs 5.16 to 5.17) SCT are confident in their ability to fund these works from operating revenues and understand that they will be taking over the building on an as is / where is basis.
5.25 SCT’s financial information has been reviewed by the CSP’s Finance Business Partner who is comfortable with approving this proposal (to gift the building to SCT and to grant them a ground lease over the land) from a financial perspective.
5.26 The proposal supports the goals and objectives of the Council’s Community Facilities Network Plan in terms of engaging with the community with the aim of building resilience and connectivity within the community.
5.27 SCT’s extensive provision of services, training and events include a community café, barista training, pop-in Neighbourhood Centre, community garden and basketball, playground and other sports activities in the Park. The Macfarlane Park Centre building specifically offers a range of child, youth and ‘not quite so young’ educational and fitness programmes. A growing number of external groups operating from the Centre include two Filipino Churches, Tongan homework club, Etu Pasifika Ltd Matua Group, pre-schools, Narcotics Anonymous, Man Up, Restorative Justice and others.
5.28 SCT’s proposal demonstrates that they, and the MacFarlane Park Centre, are well governed and managed and well supported by the LCIF, Council (Community Board advisors, Parks (as asset owner of reserve), CSP (as asset owner of building) and CSP’s Finance Business Partner), the community and external funders.
Asset Transfer
5.29 The Community Facilities Network Plan reflects the Council’s preference to have a greater number of facilities community operated, ideally through partnership agreements.
5.30 While there is no current LTP funding specifically available to operate the MacFarlane Park Centre it is recognised that SCT are providing an important role in empowering and strengthening the local community and are doing so from a sustainable financial, management and governance perspective.
5.31 Technically the transfer of ownership of the building to SCT constitutes a disposal of a Council asset. However this is conditioned somewhat by the fact that Council retains a first right of refusal to re-acquire the building.
5.32 The Parks Unit, as asset owner of the land, will effectively become the notional steward for the building albeit with no management, maintenance or financial obligations.
5.33 The criteria for ‘retaining’ the building (and transfer of ownership to SCT) has been satisfied as: there is a clearly identified need; it is supported by a sound and robust business case; it supports Council strategies, and; it has an identified notional asset owner / steward.
Dealing Unilaterally
5.34 Where there is only one logical lessee for a lease (in this case a ground lease) or purchaser of a property (in this case the building) the Council may deal unilaterally with the lessee/purchaser. This includes facilities linked to not-for-profit organisations and community buildings.
5.35 There are a number of matters that need to be considered when contemplating a unilateral dealing. Refer to Attachment D.
5.36 The granting of a ground lease and gift of the building to SCT is effectively a continuation of community services that have been offered by SCT since 2018 (and since 2000 from the adjacent MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre) and supports the purpose for which the land is used.
5.37 The proposal does not depart from the considerations as outlined in Attachment D and officers consider that it would be appropriate for the Community Board to approve the ground lease to SCT and to recommend that Council approve the gift of the building to SCT (conditional on Council having a first option to take the building back if it can find an alternative use).
Lease Details
5.38 It is proposed to grant SCT a ground lease for a term of 35 years including renewals in accordance with the provisions of the Local Government Act. An annual rental will be determined in accordance with the Council’s policy for setting rents for community and sports organisations occupying parks and/or reserves.
5.39 Provision will be made that Council has first right of refusal if the building is no longer required by SCT.
Community Views and Preferences
5.40 SCT has operated from the MacFarlane Park Building since 2018 offering a wide variety of services and activities to a wide range of local community groups and individuals. The building operates at essentially full capacity and provides a base from which SCT offer a wide range of other community outreach projects.
5.41 The views and preferences of the local community were indirectly received when the Council engaged with the community on the Community Facilities Network Plan.
5.42 While this specific proposal has not been widely consulted, the local community and groups and individuals seeking further educational and recreational opportunities recognise SCT’s valuable contribution to the empowerment and strengthening of the Shirley community since 2000 which, as such, underscores their support for the general intent of the recommended option.
5.43 For these reasons, and noting the specific support of the LCIF, staff do not consider that the transfer of building ownership to SCT requires further consultation.
5.44 However, the grant of a ground lease to SCT (over land held pursuant to the Reserves Act) will require public notification.
5.45 The decision affects the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board area.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 The decision aligns with the Council’s vision:
6.1.1 The Council adopted the Strengthening Communities Together Strategy 8 April 2022 (to be launched in July 2022) based around 4 pillars: People, Place, Participation and Preparedness. Relevant excerpts include:
· Place: we support and help build connections between communities and their places and spaces to foster a sense of local identity, shared experience and stewardship.
· Objective 2.3 of the implementation plan is to support the community activation and kaitiakitanga of public places and spaces.
· Mahinga Actions – support community-led activation and management of facilities and public spaces through a partnership model eg Community Facilities Network Plan implementation, number of community groups managing local Council facilities.
6.1.2 The Council’s goal for its role in supporting a city-wide network of community facilities is “enabling active, connected and resilient communities to own their own future”.
6.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
6.2.1 Activity: Community Development and Facilities
· Level of Service: 2.0.7 Support community management and activation of facilities through a Council and Community partnership model. - At least 82% of community facilities are activated / managed in partnership with the community
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, specifically the Council’s Community Outcomes and its Community Facilities Network Plan 2020:
6.3.1 Community facilities contribute to community outcomes in many ways, but not limited to:
· Providing local venues, hosting community events, activities, classes, educational opportunities, networking and community connection aimed at reducing social isolation.
· Supporting active citizenship and connected communities, by providing venues to support community engagement with the Council, community boards and community organisations in order to grow community participation in civic life.
· Building community resilience, social capital and community capital to support a response to major stressors such as climate change, terror attacks and the effects of Covid-19.
· Supporting a network of volunteers and opportunities for community partnerships regarding provision, activation and operation of facilities.
· Enabling the celebration of local identity and diversity by providing venues for education, arts, culture, heritage, sport and recreation.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 The Senior Advisor Treaty Relationships has confirmed that the decision (to gift the building and grant a ground lease to SCT) 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.
6.5 The granting of a ground lease is a continuation of the current occupation of the land. The gifting of the building does not constitute the sale of a land asset and is further conditioned by virtue of the Council retaining a first right of refusal to reclaim ownership of the building.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.6 The gifting of the building and granting of a ground lease will not require additional resources. The continued activation of the building by SCT and the outreach services they provide may reduce the need for travel by community users of the facility and contribute to the further enhancement of services and activities available in the local community.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.7 The property is currently compliant for its existing use. Moving forward the incumbent occupier (SCT) will be responsible for ensuring it meets all regulatory resource and building consent requirements and regulations for its continued use.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement – legal costs in preparation of the Deed of Gift and Deed of Ground Lease, covered in existing operational budgets.
7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs – no building maintenance costs for the MacFarlane Park Centre building (as these will be transferred to the SCT as new owner) or the MacFarlane Park Neighbourhood Centre (which SCT own). SCT will also be responsible for any costs associated with the ground lease. Existing CSP maintenance, repair and renewal budgets will be used on other community facilities in the portfolio.
7.3 Funding Source – current operational budgets for legal and property expenses.
Other / He mea anō
7.4 Transfer of an asset with a current book value of $305,000 is not contemplated in the current Long Term Plan.
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report / Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 The general powers of competence set out in section 12(2) “Status and Powers” of the Local Government Act.
Other Legal Implications / Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 There is a legal context, issue or implication relevant to this decision.
8.3 The legal consideration is the Local Government Act 2002 and the Council’s Leasing Council Property and Disposal of Property policies, as referred to in paragraphs 5.38 above.
8.4 This report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Team.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 In the event that SCT cease to operate from this neighbourhood or no longer has a need for the building, the Council would have the first option to resume ownership of the building asset. As a function of a request to surrender their ground lease SCT would technically be required to remove the building from the leased site (subject to consultation with the LCIF).
9.2 There may be some residual community feedback regarding Council’s decisions to deal unilaterally with SCT.
9.3 Conversely, if a Council decision not to gift the building resulted in SCT deciding to quit the building there is potentially some significant reputational risk and community disengagement for Council given the valuable educational, community and outreach activities and services SCT provide to the local community.

Report of Te Pou Matua: |
Barry Hayes, Senior Traffic Engineer, barry.hayes@ccc.govt.nz |
General Manager Pouwhakarae: |
Jane Davis, General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, jane.davis@ccc.govt.nz |
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board to consider options to improve safety and visibility for drivers turning out of the Cranford Pharmacy car park and to facilitate more efficient use of on-street parking space. This report has been written in response to a request from the manager at the Cranford Pharmacy.
1.2 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 the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
1.3 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.
1.4 The recommended option is to Install P10 and No Stopping restrictions together with No U-turn restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board:
1. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, that the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 10 minutes, on the north west side of Sherborne Street, commencing at a point 25 metres north of its intersection with Canon Street and extending in a northern direction for a distance of 16 metres.
2. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at any time, on the south west side of Sherborne Street commencing at a point 41 metres north west of its intersection with Canon Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 8 metres.
3. Approves that in accordance with Clause 17 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the U-turn movement from Sherborne Street north approach at the intersection of Canon Street be prohibited, as shown on Attachment A.
4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 17 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the U-turn movement from Sherborne Street south approach at the intersection of Canon Street be prohibited, as shown on Attachment A.
5. 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 in resolutions 1-4 above.
6. Approve that these resolutions take effect when the signage and road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Safety concerns have been identified/raised for vehicles turning out of the car park near 115 Sherborne Street (occupied by Cranford Pharmacy) due to parked vehicles obstructing visibility. By implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines for drivers turning onto Sherborne Street.
3.2 Concern had also been raised that parking spaces near the Pharmacy were being used for all-day parking whereas there is a high demand for short stay parking at the pharmacy. The recommendations would enable three spaces to be more efficiently utilised by increasing parking turnover.
3.3 The U-turn restrictions support the physical measures already in place to enable the unsafe turning manoeuvres to be enforced and improve road safety.
3.4 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Do Nothing - Maintain the status quo
4.1 The advantages of this option include:
4.1.1 Retains four unrestricted on-street parking spaces on the west side of Sherborne Street.
4.2 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.2.1 Does not address the identified safety issue of parked vehicles obstructing visibility, inappropriate use of parking spaces and U-turning driving activity.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Background
5.1 As part of the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC) project, further work has been undertaken to monitor and respond to the downstream effects of the traffic using the road network within the St. Albans and Edgeware areas, which include the Sherborne and Cranford Street route.
5.2 A major package of road safety improvements has already been implemented over the last 2 years along this route and local streets. This proposal is a response to feedback received on the effects of parked vehicles upon driver safety. This section of Sherborne Street is classified as a minor arterial within the road hierarchy in the District Plan.
Description of issues
a) Parking related
5.3 At present, there is a section of unrestricted parking on the west side of Sherborne Street between the car park access and the southern side of Cranford Pharmacy. The available parking spaces are usually occupied by vehicles parking all of the working day.
5.4 Drivers turning out of the Pharmacy car park experience difficulties in their sightline towards the south. Since the access is classified (in RTS9 Table 1) as a high volume activity (over 200 movements a day) and that the main road functions as an arterial road the visibility play requires a sight line that exceeds that which is currently available.
5.5 Consequently it is considered appropriate to introduce no stopping restrictions for a short distance (equivalent to one parking space) at this location to maintain a clear visibility splay. Since Cranford Pharmacy operates for part of the weekend it would be advantageous to maintain clear sight lines consistently throughout the week.
5.6 Furthermore, the on-site car park is intensively used and there is consistent pressure for customers to find parking spaces, especially for short stay reasons, such as to collect prescriptions.
5.7 Consequently it is considered that it would be more appropriate to increase turnover at this location (equivalent to three parking spaces), to improve short stay parking opportunities for this Community facility. It also increases the probability of empty parking spaces which improves the sight line for drivers leaving the car park towards approaching out-bound traffic on Sherborne Street.
b) U-turning activity
5.8 As part of the CNC downstream effects project this intersection was modified to improve traffic safety and road network efficiency. After extensive consultation for the wider project, a median island was constructed in approximately 2020 on Sherborne Street at this location. This was intended to deter cross-movements on Canon Street, block right turns on Sherborne Street (which is already signed).
5.9 The island also deters U-turns, which are probably undertaken by drivers blocked by the banned right turn. A U-turn manoeuvre requires a vehicle to effectively grind to a halt and complete the turn very slowly. Since Sherborne Street is extremely busy through the day, this manoeuvre would create a hazard for drivers following behind, resulting in a rear-end type collision. The turning drivers would be expected to take alternative routes to access Canon Street.
5.10 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board.
5.11 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the next financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.12 The project manager for the CNC downstream effects project met the manager at the Cranford Pharmacy and the business owner at Town and Country Motors, which both have direct frontage. Both have confirmed their support for the proposal.
5.13 In terms of the U-turn restriction, staff consulted NZ police, who had previously been involved in the consultation for the introduction of the median island, to deter cross movement and right turns on Canon Street. They were aware that some drivers were ignoring the physical constraint of the island and undertaking the U-turn.
5.14 NZ police have confirmed their support for the no-U-turn signage, to enable them to enforce this driving activity.
5.15 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.16 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve visibility for drivers turning onto Sherborne Street and enabling short stay parking opportunities.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board for the removal of trees within Aylesford Street for the ongoing Mairehau Drain Timber Lining Renewal works to proceed which started construction early May, 2022.
· Delegated authority approval for the removal of 21 healthy and structurally sound trees is required from the Community Board under Section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974 (delegated to the Board under Part D – Sub-Part 1 of the Delegations Register).
· Due to the trees being within the road corridor, the Head of Transport has delegated authority to approve the removal of 11 unhealthy and structurally unsound trees and five (5) healthy and structurally sound trees causing infrastructure damage under Part B – Sub-Part 3, section 21 of the Delegations Register, and the purpose of the report is to also advise the Community Board regarding this.
1.2 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. This is due to the localised area where the trees are located and the relatively low number of people affected by the tree removals.
1.3 A landscape plan is yet to be finalised for the project, and will be presented to the Community Board once completed. The landscaping is planned to occur during the 2023 winter planting season.
· Due to inadequate space and the presence of utility services, replacement tree planting within the vicinity of the drain will be limited. As a result alternative locations for tree planting are required.
· The Tree Policy (1.9 and 1.10) will be complied with regarding the planting of a minimum of two (2) new trees for every tree removed, within suitable alternative locations.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board:
1. Approve the removal of 21 healthy and structurally sound trees for the Mairehau Drain Timber Lining Renewal works to proceed.
2. Be advised regarding the removal of 16 trees under staff delegations.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The existing timber lining within Mairehau Drain on the eastern side of Aylesford Street is being replaced between Westminster Street and Crosby Street.
3.2 The works will involve excavation on both sides of the existing timber lining. There are trees located on both sides in various locations along the length of the drain section to be renewed that will be impacted by the works.
3.3 The trees will require removal to enable the works. Some of the trees have caused damage to the existing timber lining, and other trees in close proximity to the drain have the potential to cause damage in the future.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Option 1 – Approve Tree removal
4.1.1 Proceed with:
· Approval to remove the identified trees to enable the project to proceed while the landscape plan is being prepared in the meantime and presented to the Board in the near future.
· The advantage of this approach is that no delays will impact the contractor’s programme which minimises the risk of additional costs from design changes and variations.
4.2 Option 2 – Decline the tree removal and/or landscape plan
4.2.1 Proceed with:
· This option involves declining the removal of the trees and/or the supply of the landscape plan at a later date. This would impact the ongoing construction works and prevent their timely and on budget completion. This is because some of the trees are too close to the drain for work to occur.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 The trees to be removed include resident planted trees between property boundaries and the drain, and trees between the drain and the road edge. Some of the trees located between the drain and the road edge have tree asset identification numbers; which comprise cabbage trees (Cordyline australis) and kohuhu (Pittosporum tenuifolium).
5.2 Below are a few examples of the trees proposed for removal because they have been planted too close to the asset. In some of these images, it can bee seen that the root work is pressing hard up against the drain, deforming the asset.
5.3 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.3.1 Aylesford Street, Innes Ward
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.2 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.3 There are no significant impacts on Mana Whenua. Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd has been consulted with at the start of the project and notified of the start of the construction. No issues were raised. A set of recommendations regarding the landscaping were provided, which are being considered as part of the landscape plan.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.4 The landscape plan for this project will include mostly low planting along the drain edge, as there will be inadequate space for tree planting within the vicinity of the drain. However, a minimum of two (2) replacement trees will be planted for each tree removed as specified in clauses 1.9 and 1.10 of the Tree Policy.

3.3 Community Events
· "Tūrangawaewae" Exhibition - Artwork from several local schools in local libraries from 22 June to 25 July
This project, co-ordinated by Chris Potts, Papanui High comes from Tōtaranui Kāhui Ako which is a community of learning in Northwest Christchurch. Their vision is Hono, Mahi Tahi, E tipu - Connect, Collaborate, Grow. Students across all schools have been focused this year on Tūrangawaewae.
Tūrangawaewae is one of the most well-known and powerful Māori concepts. Literally tūranga (standing place), waewae (feet), it is often translated as 'a place to stand.
Tūrangawaewae represents the places where we feel especially empowered and connected. These places are our foundation, our place in the world, our home.
All schools that belong to the Tōtaranui Kāhui Ako understand the connection this has for the area we live in. Each student has a place of belonging and this can be a physical, emotional and spiritual place.
The work on display represents what Tūrangwaewae means for our akonga (learners).

· 276 & 278 Westminster Street Demolitions
The Board were updated on the commencement of demolition works at 276 and 278 Westminster Street. Start Work Notices were circulated.
· Severn Street Trees
The Chairperson received inquiry from the resident who generated the
Board to visit Severn Street with the arborist to view the street trees on 2
May 2022. Staff provided interim update that there are discussions ongoing with
Orion regarding provisions for the electricity infrastructure that could relate
to the treatment of the trees, though staff are exploring communication with
the residents to understand the wider view of the significant trees lining the
relevant section of the street to also consider in respect of the review of the
long term management of the trees.
· Graham Condon Changing Room Cleaning
Board follow up from a resident’s concern about the cleanliness of the changing room floors at Graham Condon Pool received assurance from staff that the floors have been cleaned, and even the Centres Operations Leader has been in there scrubbing the floors with a rust cleaner. A stubborn stain was noted in the accessible change room that could not be removed with ordinary scrubbing. Staff advised they would use a steam cleaner in endeavour to remove the stain, however assured that the floors are cleaned throughout the day and at night so, whilst the stain is unsightly, the floors are hygienic.
· Street Works
The Board sought and had follow up and clarification on a number of works in the Board area:
o Edgeware wastewater renewals – the Board gained assurance of minimisation of the impacts of the works on the parking for St Albans Park, appreciating there needed to be some temporary impact on the parking as part of the works. The Board also had exchange with staff to improve the legibility of the temporary traffic management.
o Aylesford Street – the Board sought and gained clarity on the communications around the works for the Mairehau Drain timber lining renewal, as covering the section of Aylesford Street affected.
o Chrystal, Warden and Petrie Streets Renewals – the Board gained further detail around the Project Delivery Completion Date moving to 14 October 2022, noting the COVID impact on the contractor, archaeological notification due to an ‘historic rubbish pit’, and coal tar investigations, which have had minimal detection at sites within Richmond.
· Shirley Library
Further to receiving the deputation advocating for relocating and upgrading Shirley Library to the Shirley Community Reserve site, the Board requested to see the engineering report for Shirley Library, receiving advice after its last meeting that:
As the building strength is greater than 67%, it is not considered at risk of being earthquake prone.
From an asset, sustainability and lifecycle approach, Shirley Library is currently in good physical condition, having undergone capital works in 2020 and also received works to HVAC systems in 2014. The building is currently in the first third of its useful life.
Council would not anticipate significant capital works to occur in the next five years based on current condition and data modelling. There is a programme of funds in the LTP for the portfolio which is allocated to the remainder of the Libraries network.
The primary services delivered from the facility include:
o Library services
o Service Centre
o NZ Post
o Governance
The recent refurbishment works ensure that the facility continues to provide value to the community and remains fit for purpose. Continued data collection and condition monitoring will be used to help inform future decision making for this site. Physically, the asset is well positioned to respond to how these services are delivered.
The Board inquired about a re-assessment of the building given the passage of time, and related points, and received advice that the engineering assessment (completed by Aurecon) for Shirley Library (which also accommodates the Community Governance Team for the neighbouring Coastal-Burwood Board area, as being located within that area) occurred on 27 May 2013 and was determined to be 68% of the New Building Standard. Two Chartered Engineers undertook a quantitative review of the report from CERA on 6 March 2014, with further Capital works occurring in 2020.
Council’s Senior Manager Facilities and its Technical Advisor, who oversees the Council's Earthquake-prone buildings, have reviewed the 2013 report and advise there is no need to commission another assessment of the Shirley Library. The Technical Advisor has advised that the Library is of a Low Risk and not classified as earthquake-prone or at earthquake risk.

4.5.1 Every application for an alcohol licence requires a formal public notification to be made. These public notices can be found on the Alcohol Licensing website.
4.5.2 Anyone with a greater interest than the public generally, may lodge an objection against an application by writing to: The Secretary, Christchurch District Licensing Committee, Alcohol Licensing, Christchurch City Council, PO Box 73013, Christchurch 8154 or by emailing: alcohollicensing@ccc.govt.nz.
4.5.3 Any such community objections must be lodged in writing within 15 working days of the first publication of the notice on the website. These objections may only be made against the specific criteria contained within the Sale and Supply of Alcohol Act 2012. General guidance on objecting is available through this website run by Te Hiringa Hauora/Health Promotion Agency. Request to view, or query, a specific application may be directed to the Alcohol Licensing Team at alcohollicensing@ccc.govt.nz or 03 941 8999.
4.5.4 Community Boards in this district have been authorised by the Council to appear and be heard (upon seeking, and if granted, permission from the chairperson of the District Licensing Committee) at any hearing of an application for an alcohol licence. This is distinct and different from being an objector. Community objectors should thus make their objections direct to the Council’s Alcohol Licensing Team; they cannot be made via the Community Board.
4.5.5 However, anyone may ask to speak to the Community Board about whether the Community Board will seek permission to appear if an application for an alcohol licence is proceeding to a hearing. Again, the Community Board do not object on behalf of, or represent, individual objectors, but can (if they seek and are granted permission to appear) deliver a submission at the hearing, principally to provide the Community Board’s overview and insight into the community in the locality of the premises.
