Minutes of Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board

Sally Ching, local business owner, addressed the Board regarding the impact the new Ilam, Middleton and Riccarton Road intersection is having on her business, 306 Motel Apartments on Riccarton Road.

Mrs Ching explained that since the changes to the Riccarton, Ilam, Riccarton Road intersection layout have been made, motorists on Middleton Road can no longer turn right to access Ilam Road and are choosing instead to turn left onto Riccarton Road and right into her motel premises, turning in the carpark and exiting left onto Riccarton Road and then turning left onto Ilam Road. Mrs Ching showed a presentation illustrating what is happening.

She said that initially approximately 40 vehicles were turning in a day. This has now reduced somewhat to between 5 and 15 vehicles a day although the numbers vary from day to day and that her direct approach to motorists has resulted in some very adverse reactions.

Mrs Ching has been in contact with Council’s transport staff regarding the problem but there has been no satisfactory resolution.

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mrs Ching for her presentation.

Part B

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Requests staff provide urgent advice on possible measures that could be implemented to deter vehicles from entering the carpark of 306 Riccarton Road for the purposes of turning around and exiting onto Riccarton Road.

5.1 Clarence Reserve - Community Garden Lease Report

Garth Wilson, local resident, and Secretary of the Central Riccarton Residents’ Association, addressed the Board regarding the Clarence Reserve - Community Garden Lease Report (Item 7 of these minutes refers).

Mr Wilson noted that the fence on the boundary between the reserve and 16 Dilworth Street is in a state of disrepair and needs to be replaced. He said he considers that the cost of the new fence should be shared equally with the owner of 16 Dilworth Street and not be met exclusively by the Riccarton Community Garden and Pātaka Trust or the Council, noting the difficulty with replacing the fence due to the proximity of large trees.

Mr Wilson commended the Council’s Parks staff for their work on the leasing proposal.

After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Wilson for his presentation.
