1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the Community Board’s approval to authorise the granting of an easement to Orion over Council reserve land. Orion are installing new lights and cabling in Cumnor Terrace and Kennaway Road associated with the Heathcote Expressway Major Cycle Route (MCR).
1.2 This report has been written following a request from the Parks Unit to create the easement and to protect Orion’s infrastructure over the reserve land.
1.3 A plan of the easement area is highlighted in yellow on the plans appended as Attachment A. The easement area measures two metres in width and extends across three reserve lots.
1.4 The lighting installation will improve visibility and safety for cyclists along this major cycle path through the reserves. Therefore, staff support the granting of the new easement and recommend that the Board exercise it’s delegation for the process to proceed.
1.5 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy given that the proposed easement is an integral element of the Heathcote Expressway MCR, the development of which has been widely publicised and is fully consented.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Subject to an acknowledgement that a public notice is not required in this instance, approves pursuant to Section 48 of the Reserves Act 1977, the grant of an easement in favour of Orion New Zealand Limited to convey electricity over the Council owned reserve areas as outlined in paragraphs 5.3 - 5.7 of this report (or such other area as defined by survey of the infrastructure), being;
a. 32F Cumnor Terrace (Lot 20 DP 79290 – CB45C/236) (Recreation Reserve).
b. 4R Kennaway Road (Lot 22 DP 83699 – CB48C/272 (Recreation Reserve).
c. 59R Kennaway Road (Lot 200 DP 463785 – ID 614673 (Local Purpose (Utility) Reserve).
2. Recommends that the Chief Executive, using the Council’s delegated authority from the Minister of Conservation, consents to the grant of easement referred to in (1) above.
3. Approves the associated electrical installation works within the reserves, subject to all necessary consents being obtained by Orion before the works commence.
4. Authorises the Property Consultancy Manager, should the easement be granted with the consent of the Minister of Conservation, to finalise all and any documentation required to implement the easement.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Orion are installing the cabling at Council’s request as an integral part of the cycleway. The lighting installation is designed to improve safety and visibility for cyclists using the path through the reserve. Although lighting of paths in reserves is usually not installed to discourage people walking through reserves at night, for this major cycle way it is recommended for cyclists. The granting of an easement to Orion will protect their infrastructure and is a standard low-risk property right which is routine Council process.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The only alternative option is not to grant an easement to Orion – Not Recommended.
4.2 The disadvantages of this outcome include:
4.2.1 Orion will not have legal access to its underground assets within the reserves.
4.2.2 The presence of Orion’s infrastructure will not be clearly identified on the relevant titles.
4.2.3 It would not reflect best practice which is for Council to register easements over its land.
4.3 There is no advantage to not granting an easement to Orion as failure to do so would provide Orion with no ability to guarantee the ongoing protection of their assets. This would result in Orion electing not to proceed with the installation which would prevent Council from adhering to its resource consent conditions to provide safety lighting for the cycleway.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Easement Location
5.1 The Heathcote Expressway Major Cycle Route (MCR) is one of 13 major cycle-ways in development as part of the Council’s major cycleway routes programme. The completed route will connect the central city to Martindales Road in the Heathcote Valley. The sections to Garlands Road have been constructed while the remaining sections from the Garlands Road intersection to Vaila Place (Section 2C) and from Vaila Place to Martindales Road (Section 2D) are consented pending construction.
5.2 Section 2C is illustrated in red below.
5.3 The section of the cycleway subject to this report is located within Section 2C between the Cumnor Terrace / Chapmans Road intersection and Vaila Place and comprises a 3.5 metre wide shared asphalt path (and integral safety lighting) which traverses the following land parcels.
· 32F Cumnor Terrace: – Lot 20 DP 79290 – CB45C/236 (CCC owned Recreation Reserve).
· 4R Kennaway Road: Lot 22 DP 83699 – CB48C/272 (CCC owned Recreation Reserve).
· 320 Cumnor Terrace: Lot 301 DP 463785 – ID 614676 (Privately owned).
· 59R Kennaway Road: Lot 200 DP 463785 – ID 614673 (CCC owned Local Purpose (Utility) Reserve).
5.4 The plan below illustrates the alignment of this section of the cycleway (pink) and the associated Orion lighting infrastructure (yellow).
5.5 A larger scale version of this plan is appended as Attachment A.
5.6 Orion require an easement over the three Council owned reserves which are all held subject to the Reserves Act 1977.
5.7 (It is noted that the privately owned parcel (320 Cumnor Terrace) is subject to an encumbrance on the title in favour of Council will provide for a cycleway easement over this land parcel).
Orion Easement
5.8 Orion are installing the new safety lighting and cabling on behalf of Council. Council will retain ownership of the light poles, while Orion will retain ownership of the cabling.
5.9 In order for Orion’s infrastructure to occupy Council’s land, an easement is required to be registered on the property titles. The easement provides Orion an ability to convey electricity over the land and also protects their assets in perpetuity.
5.10 The easement area (as shown on Attachment A) is a standard 2 metre width.
5.11 The construction works have been tendered and at the time of writing this report construction of the cycleway was anticipated to start within the next few months.
Easement – Statutory Process
5.12 32F Cumnor Terrace and 4R Kennaway Road are classified as Recreation Reserves and 59R Kennaway Road as Local Purpose (Utility) Reserve.
5.13 As the electrical installation work undertaken by Orion is related directly to the lighting of the cycleway it is appropriate for the Council to use section 48(1) (a) of the Reserves Act 1977 to grant a registered easement to Orion to facilitate these cycleway safety lighting works.
5.14 Section 48 provides that the Council with the consent of the Minister may grant easements for rights of way and other easements over reserve land. In this case s 48(1) (a)….’for any public purpose’….applies.
Compensation and Costs
5.15 It is usual practice for the Council to receive a one-off compensation fee for the privilege of gaining a property interest over Council land.
5.16 As the cabling is being installed at Council’s request and solely to power the new cycleway lights, compensation from Orion is not required. Council will also be required to meet all administrative costs, including Orion’s legal fees, survey costs and easement registration fees associated with creating the easement.
Community Views and Preferences
5.17 The notification criteria outlined in section 48(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 requires public notice to be given except where the reserve is not likely to be materially altered or permanently damaged and where the rights of the public in respect of the reserve are not likely to be permanently affected.
5.18 Public access to the reserves is not affected and although the reserves are effectively materially altered by the existence of the cycleway and lighting poles these factors have been subject to a public consultation process and have been satisfied as part of the resource consent approval for Section 2C (RMA/2021/353). The consent approval is subject to a range of construction, ecological, drainage, CPTED, lighting and other conditions which Council are required to adhere to.
5.19 For these reasons staff consider that further public notification is not required.
Consent of the Minister of Conservation
5.20 The Community Board has the delegation to approve the grant of easement subject to the consent of the Minister of Conservation and subject to there being no sustainable objections arising from public notification (which, for the reasons outlined in 5.18, is not required in this this instance).
5.21 The authority to grant the approval of the Minister of Conservation has been delegated to the Council, and subsequently delegated to the Chief Executive.
5.22 In exercising the consent of the Minister of Conservation, the Council should be satisfied that due procedure has been followed and in this respect the Council should have regard to the following matters:
5.22.1 The land affected by the application is a reserve subject to the provisions of the Reserves Act 1977.
5.22.2 The easement being applied for falls within the purposes specified in Section 48(1) of the Reserves Act.
5.22.3 The provisions of Section 48(2) (public notification) have been complied with or a waiver can be given to this requitement under Section 48(3).
5.22.4 Section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987 (this Act shall be interpreted and administered as to give effect to the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi) meaning that in consenting to transactions under the Reserves Act 1977, consideration is to be given to the requirement or otherwise to consult with iwi.
5.23 It is confirmed that the subject land, held in records of title CB45C/236, CB48C/272 and Identifier 614673, is reserve land subject to the Reserves Act 1977. The easement falls within the purposes of the Reserves Act under Section 48(1) (a), being for any public purpose. Public notification is not required for the reasons outlined in 5.18 above. Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd were consulted on the location of the cycleway, refer 6.6 below.
Ward and Community Boards Affected
5.24 The decision affects the Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board area.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 The cycleway project fits with the Council’s Strategic Framework as it promotes positive community participation and outcomes, encourages resilient (safe and healthy) communities and contributes to a liveable (well-connected and accessible) city. The easement to Orion is integral to these outcomes.
6.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
6.2.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore
· Level of Service: 6.3.7.4 Provide community participation opportunities across the parks network –participation. - Establish baseline
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 The decision does involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
6.5 The Heathcote River is of cultural, archaeological and natural significance to Ngai Tahu as an important food gathering place and part of an interconnected network of travel routes that crossed the widespread wetland system of greater Christchurch.
6.6 In its Cultural Assessment Report submitted to the resource consent consultation process Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd (MKT) outlined a number of requirements relating to cultural monitoring, archaeological discovery protocol and the management of stormwater during construction to minimise any effects on the waterway and its cultural significance. These are now reflected in the consent conditions which will be adhered to during the construction process. As such further consultation with Manu Whenua is not required.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.7 No additional impact on climate change. However the easement (as an integral part of the cycleway) will contribute to some positive impacts resulting from promoting cycle use in the City.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.8 The additional safety lighting will increase accessibility to the cycleway.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement:
7.1.1 Easement assessment: minimal administrative cost to the Parks Unit.
7.1.2 Easement implementation: cost to Council (Transport Unit) for administration, legal, survey and easement registration costs – c$10,000 to $15,000.
7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs:

7.3 Funding Source:
7.3.1 Easement assessment: Parks Unit Planning operational budgets.
7.3.2 Easement /Cycleway Implementation: Transport Unit – Heathcote Expressway MCR project and capital budget.
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report / Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 Sections 10 and 48 of the Reserves Act 1977 and the general powers of competence set out in Section 12(2) “Status and Powers” of the Local Government Act and City Council Delegations Register authorising the Community Board delegated authority for the granting of easements over reserves.
Other Legal Implications / Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 An easement in gross to be granted pursuant to Section 48(1) (a) of the Reserves Act 1977.
8.3 This report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit. The Legal Services Unit will prepare any necessary easement documents.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 Failure to grant the easement will result in Orion electing not to proceed with the electrical installation which would prevent Council from adhering to its resource consent conditions to provide safety lighting for the cycleway.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board to approve the improvements and extension of the existing bus stop 14024 beside 314-318 Gloucester Street. Please refer to Attachment A for details.
1.2 This report is staff generated in response to Environment Canterbury’s request to upgrade this bus stop to accommodate two buses. Currently, this stop is used as timing point for two bus routes (bus #5 and #7) and sometimes both buses wait here until their scheduled time. Therefore, additional space is required to accommodate a second bus.
1.3 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 consideration of the criteria set out in the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

b. That a bus stop be installed on the south side of Gloucester Street commencing at a point approximately 87.5 metres west of its intersection with Fitzgerald Avenue and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of approximately 28 metres.
c. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the south side of Gloucester Street commencing at a point approximately 115.5 metres west of its intersection with Fitzgerald Avenue and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of approximately five metres.
2. That 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 1. are revoked.
3. That these resolutions take effect when the traffic control devices that evidence the restrictions described in 1. are in place (or removed, in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations / Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The location of the bus stop relative to its surrounding locality, is indicated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Existing bus stop 14024 beside 314-318 Gloucester Street.
3.2 The bus stop is used by routes 5 and 7. GoBus had advised that the bus stop has been an issue for a number of years as it is a timing point for both the bus routes 5 and 7 which have similar timing points.
3.3 The advantages of this option include:
· Increasing the existing bus stop capacity to allow two buses to stop at a time which will enhance the operation performance of the buses.
· Create less stress for bus drivers as there is increased capacity at the bus stop and they do not have to wait in the traffic lane until a space is available to drop off/pick up passengers.
· Improve the safety of Gloucester Street as it will minimise the number of times buses are waiting in the traffic lane until there is an available space in the bus stop.
3.4 The disadvantages of this option include:
· The removal of two existing unrestricted on-street parking spaces.
4. Alternative Options Considered / Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Option 2 – Extending the existing bus stop 14024 to allow two buses to pull out of the stop independently of each other. The disadvantages with this option are:
· The bus stop will be extended over a residential driveway servicing 6 properties. However, the bus stop is used as a timing point for both bus routes 5 and 7. This means that the buses will be stopped at the bus stop until their scheduled time.
4.2 Option 3 – Creating another bus stop beside the Gloucester-Worcester Park. The disadvantages with this option are:
· Splitting the stop may lead to confusion for passengers and drivers about which stop they should be using.
· The passengers using the stop beside the Gloucester-Worcester Park will not have a shelter to wait in.
· A street tree will need to be removed for the new bus stop beside the Gloucester-Worcester Park as it will coincide with the back door section of the bus.
· It will increase the conflict/congestion around the carpark access into Christchurch East School with vehicles turning right into and out of the carpark. It will also be directly opposite the outbound bus stop which will already have buses pulling into and out of the stop.
4.3 Option 4 – Do nothing and the existing bus stop line marking and infrastructure will remain as is.
5. Detail / Te Whakamahuki
Analysis Criteria / Ngā Paearu Wetekina
5.1 All bus stops are planned and implemented in accordance with the Christchurch Bus Stop Guidelines (2009) and the Christchurch City Council’s Construction Standard Specifications (2018). This includes providing tactile pavers and ensuring that there is a minimum 1.5m wide sealed footpath width.
5.2 The existing bus stop currently has capacity for one bus at a time but with the frequency and schedule for buses on route 5 and 7, and with the stop also being used as a timing point, the bus stop needs to be able to accommodate two buses as is the case for the bus stop opposite (36033) on the north side of the Gloucester Street.
Community Views and Preferences / Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
5.3 Consultation has been carried out with the affected properties, ECan and the bus service operator. The consultation period for the proposed bus stop changes occurred from 13 June 2022 to 29 June 2022. The consultation catchment area is shown in Figure 2. Letters were posted to the affected properties (both tenants and owners) in the consultation catchment area.
Figure 2: Bus stop 14024 improvements on Gloucester Street – consultation catchment area
5.4 The consultation was based on Option 2 with the existing bus stop 14024 to be extended to accommodate two buses concurrently and allow both buses to pull out of the stop independently of each other. During the consultation, a total of four responses were received. Two of which were from stakeholder organisations – Environment Canterbury (ECan) and Go Bus (operator of the route 5 and 7). Please refer to Appendix B for more details.
5.5 The two residents/property owners who responded to the proposal had both objected to the proposal. Both ECan and Go Bus supported the proposal. The feedback provided by the submitters are provided in Attachment B.
5.6 Based on the feedback received from the submitters, the following changes were made to the proposal that was consulted on:
· Reducing the length of the bus box to ensure that buses do not obstruct the vehicle crossing to 318 Gloucester Street. This provides an overall bus box length of 28 metres which is still able to accommodate two buses concurrently. Further consultation with ECan and GoBus were undertaken to confirm that this is practical and will work operationally without buses waiting and obstructing the adjacent vehicle crossings.
6. Policy Framework Implications / Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment / Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 Council’s Strategic Framework is a key consideration in guiding the recommendations in this report. The recommendations in this report help achieve the:
· community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city promoting active and public transport, and
· strategic priorities of meeting the challenge of climate change through every means available.
6.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
6.2.1 Activity: Public Transport Infrastructure
· Level of Service: 10.4.4 Improve user satisfaction of public transport facilities. - >=7.3
Policy Consistency / Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with 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 Public transport is a key provision to support mode shift, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, traffic congestion and traffic crashes. Measures that promote the use of public transport make it a more attractive travel option, thereby supporting mode shift and the associated benefits to the environment.
Accessibility Considerations / Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.6 Accessibility by access to opportunities: Improvements to bus stops have a positive impact to the well-being and accessibility of our community through freedom to access opportunities by other means than the private vehicle.
6.7 Accessibility by inclusive design:
· Improvements to the length of the bus stop improves the operational performance of the buses that use the bus stop.
7. Resource Implications / Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement - $7,500 for the bus stop extension including new footpaths and tactile pavers, plus $2,000 for the planning, consultation and preparation of this report.
7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - Transport Unit Operational Expenditure budgets, includes maintenance of bus stop infrastructure, which adds up to approximately $390 annually.
7.3 Funding Source – Traffic Operations, Capital Expenditure budget for bus stop, seating and shelter installations.
7.4 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented during this financial year.
8. Legal Implications / Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report / Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 The relevant Community Board or Committee have delegated authority from the Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolutions of:
· Stopping, standing and parking restrictions (including bus stops) under Clause 7 of the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.
Other Legal Implications / Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 The legal consideration is that the installation of any signs and/or markings associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.
8.3 This report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit.
9. Risk Management Implications / Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 Should the Community Board proceed with Option 2 where the existing bus stop 14024 is to be extended to accommodate two buses, there will be buses obstructing a vehicle crossing as they are using the stop as a timing point. Occassionally, bus stops are marked across a vehicle crossing but it is only in situation where the stop is not used as a timing point where buses may be waiting at the stop for a longer length of time.
9.2 Should the Community Board proceed with Option 3 with creating another bus stop beside Gloucester-Worcester Park, there is a greater impact on the community associated with the loss of a street tree, additional loss of unrestricted car parks compared with Option 1 and increased conflict/congestion around the carpark access into a school. It may also lead to confusion with bus passengers and drivers on which bus stop they should be using.

9. Norwich Street - Proposed P120 Parking |

Report of Te Pou Matua: |
Toni
Dakers, Traffic Engineer, |
General Manager Pouwhakarae: |
Jane
Davis, General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, |
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board to consider the approval of 120 minute parking restrictions on a short section of Norwich Street in Linwood.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a local resident to investigate the effect of long term commuter parking upon the availability of parking for local residents and/or their visitors.
1.3 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.
1.4 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.
1.5 The recommended option is to install 120 minute parking restrictions on the north-east side of Norwich Street in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that:
a. the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes on the north-east side of Norwich Street, commencing at a point 311 metres south-east of its intersection with Worcester Street and extending in a south-east direction for a distance of 50 metres;
b. the stopping of vehicle be prohibited at any time on the north-east side of Norwich Street, commencing at a point 361 metres south-east of its intersection with Worcester Street and extending in a south-east direction for a distance of 11 metres; and
c. the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes on the north-east side of Norwich Street, commencing at a point 372 metres south-east of its intersection with Worcester Street and extending in a south-east direction for a distance of 6 metres.
2. Revokes 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 1a-1c above.
3. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or 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 Concerns have been raised about commuters from the nearby Eastgate Shopping Mall occupying on-street parking spaces on Norwich Street throughout the day. While the Mall has off-street parking available for their staff, Norwich Street is a convenient option due to its close proximity to the mall. There is a high demand for all day parking, particularly at the southern end of Norwich Street from both commuters and residents of this street.
3.2 A short section of 120 minute time restrictions are proposed on the north-east side of Norwich Street to increase turnover and deter all day parking.
3.3 This proposal is consistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy to ‘Apply the parking management criteria in areas of high parking demand, on a case by case basis ’. In suburban areas where occupancy of on-street parking regularly exceeds 75%, parking time restrictions can be considered.
3.4 A short section of No Stopping restrictions are also proposed outside 67 Norwich Street. This is intended to discourage drivers from parking over the fire hydrant which is observed to be a regular occurrence.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Continue to allow unrestricted kerbside parking on the full length of Norwich Street.
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retains space for around nine vehicles to park for longer than 120 minutes at any time of day.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the concern raised by residents about the lack of on-street parking options available during the day.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Norwich Street is closed off to traffic at its south-eastern end (to/from Buckleys Road ) however access for pedestrians / cyclists is maintained. Eastgate Shopping Mall is located on Buckleys Road, immediately opposite Norwich Street.
5.2 There is a high parking demand on Norwich Street, particularly at the south-east end due to its proximity to the Mall as well as from the residential properties in this area.
5.3 The frontage outside 67 Norwich Street is only long enough to accommodate one parked vehicle without obstructing the fire hydrant. No Stopping restrictions are proposed to deter drivers from parking over the fire hydrant.
5.4 Approval is required by the Waikura / Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board
5.5 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.6 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter.
5.7 Seven submissions were received, five in support and two opposed to the proposal.
5.8 The reasons given for opposing the proposal include:
5.8.1 Residents will not have the option to park directly outside their properties for extended periods of time if 120 minute time restrictions are installed. The residents consider that this will present a safety concern if they have to park further down the street.
5.8.2 The restrictions proposed on the north-east side, will increase the demand for unrestricted parking spaces outside properties on the south-west side.
5.9 The intention of the proposal is to increase turnover in a small number of spaces. This will increase the likelihood of parking spaces being available for residents and/or their visitors to come and go throughout the day. At times this will mean drivers wanting to park directly outside their properties for extended periods of time will not be able to do so, however the proposal is intended to find a balance to manage the limited on-street parking supply so it works best for the residents of this street as a whole. The restrictions will apply between the standard hours of 8am and 6pm, outside of these times there is no time limit on these spaces.
5.10 A number of submissions, while supportive, also requested for residents to be exempt from these parking restrictions. Resident Exemption parking permits were trialled in 2019, however due to certain operational challenges they were not continued at that time. Council is now in the process of developing an implementation plan to account for the issues raised during the trial and determine eligibility criteria. At this stage Council is not issuing any ‘Resident Exemption’ parking permits.
5.11 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.12 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to manage parking in this area.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 Council’s strategic priorities have been considered in formulating the recommendations in this report, however this area of work is not specifically covered by an identified priority.

6.3 The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 The effects of this proposal upon Mana Whenua are expected to be insignificant.

6.5 This proposal does not have any significant effect upon carbon emissions and Climate Change.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.6 One of the concerns raised as part of the initial request was that residents with restricted mobility or those who require carers are not able to access convenient parking options in this location as they are continually occupied by all day parking. The proposal will improve accessibility for these residents.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board to consider making a recommendation to the Council to further investigate alcohol ban area in Woolston Village and surrounding streets under the Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2018.
1.2 Mr Paul McMahon presented a 173 signature petition to the Board’s 13 July 2022 meeting. The prayer of the petition stated: “We, the undersigned, petition that the Christchurch City Council implement an alcohol ban in Woolston Village.”
1.3 The Board requested a staff report to the Board on the implementation of an alcohol ban in Woolston taking into account the evidence provided by Mr Paul McMahon.in response to a petition, presented by Mr Paul McMahon to the Community Board on 13 July 2022, requesting an alcohol ban for Woolston Village.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board recommends the Council:
1. Investigates establishing an alcohol ban in Woolston Village and surrounding streets under the Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2018.
3. Detail Te whakamahuki
Introduction
3.1 The Council is able to make alcohol ban areas under the Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2018. An alcohol ban area is a defined area of public open space where people cannot drink alcohol or have alcohol containers during specified times and days. Before deciding to adopt a ban, the Council determines that the ban is the appropriate tool to address the identified problems of crime and disorder and is supported by the community and the Police who are responsible for enforcement.
3.2 Community Boards are the primary avenue for local residents and organisations to express their concerns regarding alcohol related problems in public places. Once a request for a ban is received, the Community Board generally considers the proposal for the alcohol ban and makes decisions/recommendations. The Community Board may decide on non-regulatory tools as an appropriate (initial) response to alcohol related problems and/or may recommend further investigations into a new alcohol ban.
3.3 The procedure to make a new alcohol ban is set out in the attached guide.
3.4 Matters which the Board may consider with regard to a request for an alcohol ban include:
· Is there clear evidence of ongoing problems of crime and disorder linked to people drinking in the area?
· Is there support for an alcohol ban within the community and from the Police?
· Alternatively, on the basis of the Board’s knowledge of the area could the problems be addressed effectively through other methods e.g. instituting community patrols, improving security lighting, or improving rubbish collection?
Proposal for an Alcohol ban Area
3.5 On 13 July 2022, Paul McMahon presented a petition to the Board requesting that Council put in place an alcohol ban area for Woolston Village. He provided evidence supporting the proposed ban, including a petition with 173 signatures in support of the ban, statements from community members about the negative impacts of public drinking on the amenity and safety of the village and numerous photographs showing significant amounts of alcohol related litter in and close to the village; Mr McMahon said it had taken approximately half an hour to collect the photographic evidence. (Attachment A).
3.6 In light of the information presented by Mr McMahon, there would appear to be a case for the Council to further investigate the option of establishing an alcohol ban in Woolston Village and surrounding streets. Next steps for an investigation would be for staff to contact the Police to ascertain their views on such a ban and if they are generally in support of the ban to consider/determine appropriate boundaries for a ban area.
Conclusion
3.7 In conclusion staff recommend that, given the evidence of alcohol-related problems in Woolston Village and surrounding streets, the Council further investigates this proposal for an Alcohol Ban Area.

Bromley Traffic Plan |
The Bromley Traffic Project is a priority in the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board Plan. The Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Governance Team, in partnership with local community, have established regular monthly meetings at the Bromley Community Centre. There have been two meetings to date, the first being a meet and greet, and the second, an opportunity to establish what the community wants to see come from the Bromley Traffic Plan. Individually, and as a group, the greatest want is for safety within the local streets and particularly around the school area. Safety has been communicated as reducing speed, parking/drop off/pick up around the school area, reducing heavy traffic, and combatting boy racer activity on local streets. At the next meeting, the assigned Project Manager will be attending to answer any questions related to their involvement in the plan. Interested community members have been communicated with by email and through social media. |
