3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 A local resident has raised concerns that currently there is poor visibility exiting Harkness Place at the intersection with Withells Road. This is due to vehicles being parked too close to the intersection.
3.2 The decision was taken to include the other, following streets off this section of Withells Road as the same situation also exists here:
· Kent Lodge Avenue
· Broadfell Avenue
· Harrowdale Drive
· Talltree Avenue
An overview of the street layout is show in Appendix F.
3.3 It is recommended to install No Stopping restrictions and 30 metre long centrelines on the side roads in accordance with Attachments A to E. The length of No Stopping along Withells Road in these options is the minimum length needed to provide Minimum Gap Sight Distance, allowing a driver exiting the side street sufficient visibility of approaching traffic to make the desired turn safety. The parking restrictions for a short distance on the side streets will provide more room for vehicles waiting to turn into Withells Road, and also for vehicles turning into the side streets. It also prevents vehicles having to manoeuvre around parked cars near the intersection that could lead to conflicts.
3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements of Council’s Infrastructure Design Standard.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

· Provides a consistent approach to visibility management at the intersections along Withells Road between Yaldhurst Road and Staveley Street.
· Legalises the no stopping of on-street parking near this intersection.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
Background
3.1 In December 2020 Elected Members formally endorsed the Greater Christchurch Public Transport Combined Business Case (PT Futures) as a strategy for public transport in Greater Christchurch. This includes supporting increased bus frequency on routes 17 and 28 by providing bus stop, bus shelter and real time information (RTI) infrastructure.
3.2 The recommendations in this report, combined with increased bus frequencies, recently approved by ECan, meet the PT Futures Business Case objectives which are to:
· Improve journey time and reliability of Public Transport services relative to private vehicles by 2028
· Improve Public Transport services to and from highly populated/growth areas and key destinations across Greater Christchurch by 2028
· Remove barriers to the uptake of Public Transport by 2028
3.3 Meeting these objectives are expected to deliver the following key benefits:
· More people using the bus network
· More households can access the city centre within 30 minutes by bus
· More people living within a five minute walk of a high frequency bus route
· Reduction in car travel, resulting in CO2 emissions reduction
3.4 Measures that promote the use of public transport help the Council achieve its community outcomes and strategic framework of providing a well-connected and accessible city promoting active and public transport, as well as meeting the challenge of climate change through every means available.
3.5 Environment Canterbury has approved the network changes to bus routes 17 and 28 to create a new high frequency ‘Port-to-Port’ route and a ‘Northwood to Huntsbury’ route at its 542nd meeting of the Canterbury Regional Council held on Wednesday, 13 April 2022.
3.6 The new Port-to-Port route will start at Lyttelton Port, and will continue through Heathcote, Opawa and Waltham to the Bus Interchange. The northern end will travel up Wairakei Road with an extension to Orchard Road, finishing at Christchurch Airport.
3.7 ECan will also be increasing the bus frequency along the Port-to-Port’ route. Increasing bus frequency improves usability and accessibility because the waiting times between services is reduced. A fifteen-minute frequency has four buses passing each stop every hour, compared with two buses an hour at a 30-minute frequency. This improves the attractiveness of the service.
3.8 The existing 17 and 28 services predominantly operate to 30-minute frequency weekdays and up to hourly over the weekends which means customers currently need to pre-plan their journeys.
3.9 The new Port-to-Port service will have increased frequencies of 15 minutes during weekdays until 6pm, 20 minutes on Saturdays and 30 minutes on Sundays. This increase will make this service a high frequency, core route. The service will be more direct and will connect major trip generators such as the Airport and Lyttelton Port (with its connection to the outer bays of Lyttelton Harbour). A two-year trial was also approved to changes to the Port-to-Port route providing improved access on weekdays to Ara Institute of Canterbury.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Wooldridge Road (Attachment A)
3.10 The new Port-to-Port route will no longer terminate at Sheffield Crescent. The bus will now travel onto Wooldridge Road and continue along Harewood Road and Orchard Road and terminate at the airport.
3.11 The following new bus stops have been recommended for Wooldridge Road to service the route extension:
· 281 Wooldridge Road
· 280 Wooldridge Road
· 215 Wooldridge Road
3.12 In addition, Council staff are carrying out further consultation with Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) on the design of two additional bus stops on Orchard Road (south of Wairakei Road). A separate report will be presented to the Community Board once the bus stop details have been finalised.
3.13 Council staff are also working with CIAL staff on the design, approval and implementation of four other bus stops on Orchard Road. However, no report will need to be presented to the Community Board as the proposed bus stops are within the on-campus roading network of CIAL.
3.14 Staff are also investigating bus stop locations at the intersection of Wooldridge Road and Harewood Road in conjunction with the Wheels to Wings – Papanui ki Waiwhetū cycleway. A separate report will be presented to the Community Board once this has been finalised.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road between Wooldridge Road and Greers Road (Attachment B)
3.15 The infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road between Wooldridge Road and Greers Road (Attachment B) are proposed in accordance with Attachments G and H.
3.16 The following pedestrian refuges have been proposed on Wairakei Road between Wooldridge Road and Greers Road to improve pedestrian accessibility at bus stops.
· Wairakei Road, south-east of Abros Place
· Wairakei Road, south-east of Charlcott Street
· Bus stop 16370 is currently outside 401 Wairakei Road and is unmarked. The new bus stop is proposed to be relocated to outside 405 Wairakei Road due to the design of the pedestrian refuge.
· Wairakei Road, east of Spalding Street
· Bus stop 16045 is currently outside 339 Wairakei Road and is unmarked. The new bus stop is proposed to be relocated to outside 341 Wairakei Road due to the design of the pedestrian refuge and be marked.
3.17 Bus stop 16554 (currently beside 442 Wairakei Road) is proposed to be removed for the following reasons;
· The bus stop is situated after a bend in the road making it difficult for bus passengers to see an approaching bus.
· The driveway of 442 Wairakei Road is within 9 metres of the top of the bus box. This means that bus passengers may be getting on and off the bus on a driveway.
· Consultation to relocate the bus stop to 436 Wairakei Road was undertaken as part of the Port-to-Port consultation. However due to consultation responses, staff decided not to proceed with this option.
· There was no suitable location for a shelter at 442 Wairakei Road which provided good sight lines for approaching buses.
· There are bus stops 190 metres north and 175 metres south, so the removal of the bus stop will consolidate the number of bus stops in the area.
· A reduction of the number of stops along this section of Wairakei Road means that the buses will be more reliable as it has to stop less.
3.18 Bus stop 16468 (currently beside 460 Wairakei Road) is proposed to be relocated to beside 450 Wairakei Road so that passengers accessing public transport from Breens Road do not have longer to walk due to the removal of bus stop 16554. A shelter is also proposed at this relocated bus stop as per the criteria in Attachment G.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road (south-west side) between Greers Road and Blighs Road (Attachment C)
3.19 The infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road (south-west side) between Greers Road and Blighs Road are proposed in accordance with Attachments G and H.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road and Strowan Road between Blighs Road and Heaton Street (Attachment D)
3.20 The infrastructure improvements on Wairakei Road and Strowan Road between Blighs Road and Heaton Street are proposed in accordance with Attachments G and H.
3.21 Bus stop 16260 (currently beside 15/126 Idris Road on Wairakei Road) is proposed to be relocated to 30 Wairakei Road. This will provide a lead-in area for buses to pull into the bus stop close and parallel to the kerb.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Rossall Street (Attachment E)
3.22 The infrastructure improvements on Rossall Street are proposed in accordance with Attachments G and H.
Proposed infrastructure improvements on Carlton Mill Road (Attachment F)
3.23 The infrastructure improvements on Carlton Mill Road are proposed in accordance with Attachments G and H.
3.24 Bus stop 10948 (currently beside 16 Carlton Mill Road) is proposed to be relocated to 18 Carlton Mill Road. This was due to a request made by the residents at 18 Carlton Mill Road to improve the sight lines of vehicles exiting their driveway. Currently, parked cars to the east of their driveway obstruct visibility of westbound traffic on Carlton Mill Road. In addition, the front door section of the current bus stop box coincide with a redundant vehicle crossing which makes it difficult for people with limited mobility or with prams/strollers to board the bus.
Proposed infrastructure improvements – general comments
3.25 The advantages vary between each bus stop and are discussed above. Attachment G also provides a general overview of the advantages of public transport infrastructure.
3.26 The disadvantages also vary between each of the bus stops but generally are:
· The loss of parking spaces.
· The financial cost of shifting bus stops, installing new bus stops and all the associated improvements.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Option 2 – Do nothing and no bus stop improvements will be undertaken and the existing bus stop infrastructure remain as is. This means that:
· There will be no new bus stops on the new route extension to the Christchurch Airport.
· The majority of the bus stops are not line marked to Council’s standard (Attachment H). Some have no line marking whilst others have a bus box (sometimes undersized) and with no ‘no stopping’ restrictions before and after the bus box. This means buses are unable to pull up close and parallel to the kerb, which creates a barrier for people to catch the bus.
· No improvements to pedestrian accessibility to public transport.

· Bus stop 16066 (88 Rossall Street)
Further Public Consultation
5.9 Further consultation was undertaken following ECan’s decision to extend route 17 out to the airport and to respond to the community consultation carried out in March 2022. Consultation started on the 15 June and was open until 29 June 2022. We sent letters out to residents and owners in the vicinity of the bus stops and sent emails to ECan and GoBus for their feedback.
5.10 The following bus stops were consulted on:
· New bus stop - 281 Wooldridge Road
· New bus stop - 280 Wooldridge Road
· New bus stop - 215 Wooldridge Road
· Relocation of bus stop 16468 to 450-452 Wairakei Road, shelter at 450 Wairakei Road
· Removal of bus stop 16554 at 442 Wairakei Road
5.11 Please see Attachment J for the full consultation comments and staff responses from the further consultation that was undertaken in June 2022.
5.12 Bus stop 16343 outside 73 Carlton Mill Road was consulted on separately as part of a proposed parking restrictions scheme. Consultation started on 23 November 2021 until 21 December 2021. Letters were sent out to affected residents and owners along Carlton Mill Road. Four responses were received and they were all in favour of the proposed parking restrictions. Staff are still in discussions with residents pertaining to the proposed parking restrictions however, it is proposed that the line marking for bus stop 16343 be included as part of this public transport infrastructure improvements along route 17 project.
Summary of issues raised on Wooldridge Road (Attachment A)
5.13 We received no objections for the proposed bus stop at 215 Wooldridge Road.
5.14 Staff received one support and two objections from residents for the proposed bus stops beside 280 and 281 Wooldridge Road. The objections for the proposed bus stops are due to increased difficulty in backing into their property, unnecessary cost due to lack of residents who would utilise the bus, loss of parking, narrow width of the road and the current traffic volume especially during sporting events and at peak periods.
Summary of issues raised on Wairakei Road between Wooldridge Road and Greers Road (Attachment B)
5.15 Staff originally consulted on relocating bus stop 16554 to 436 Wairakei Road and installing a shelter. Staff received an objection to the bus passenger shelter and bus stop due to increased difficulty in exiting their property, loss of parking and the shelter blocking visibility.
5.16 Due to this objection, staff re-consulted on the consolidation of bus stop 16468 and 16554 to 450-452 Wairakei Road and a proposed shelter at 450 Wairakei Road. We received one objection for the proposed relocation of bus stop due to loss of parking.
5.17 Summary of issues raised on Wairakei Road (south west side) between Greers Road and Blighs Road (Attachment C)
5.18 There were no issues raised by residents along Wairakei Road (south west side) between Greers Road and Blighs Road. Further investigation is required for requests for additional pedestrian refuges and shelters.
Summary of issues raised on Wairakei Road and Strowan Road between Blighs Road and Heaton Street (Attachment D)
5.19 Staff received support from one resident to the relocation of bus stop 16260 as they believe it will reduce the conflict between motorists and cyclists on Wairakei Road.
5.20 Staff received a request for a shelter at bus stop 16764. This bus stop does not meet the criteria for a shelter set out in Attachment G. However we will monitor this bus stop and if passenger numbers increase we will add it to the shelter installation program.
5.21 A pedestrian crossing was requested for bus stop 16084 and 16605 near 38 Strowan Road. Improved pedestrian crossing facilities are under investigation.
Summary of issues raised on Rossall Street (Attachment E)
5.22 There were no issues raised by residents along Rossall Street.
5.23 A pedestrian refuge was requested between 37B Rosall Street and 20 Rossall Street. At the moment, no pedestrian refuge is being considered as there is a pedestrian refuge nearby at 33 Rossall Street.
5.24 A pedestrian refuge and shelter was requested for bus stop 16583 on Rossall Street near Leinster Road. It does not meet the criteria for a shelter and there is an existing pedestrian refuge just west of the Leinster Road. A pedestrian refuge is under further investigation south of the bus stop.
5.25 A shelter was requested for bus stop 10687. This bus stop does not meet the criteria for a shelter and a seat is being installed at this location.
5.26 Bus stop 16362 received support for the addition of the hardstand area.
Summary of issues raised on Carlton Mill Road (Attachment F)
5.27 There were no issues raised by residents along Carlton Mill Road. Further investigation is required for a potential pedestrian crossing facility near 37 Carlton Mill Road.
6. ThePolicy 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: Transport
· Level of Service: 10.4.4 Improve user satisfaction of public transport facilities (number and quality of shelters and quality of bus stop) - ≥71% resident satisfaction
· Level of Service: 10.0.41 Reduce emissions and greenhouse gases related to transport
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 specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.5 Greater investment in public transport provides a more attractive mode choice that reduces reliance on high-emission, single occupant vehicles.
6.6 Enhancing our bus service to become more reliable, with more frequent and efficient trips, will encourage more people to shift modes.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.7 Improvements to the overall length of the bus stop, including the no stopping restrictions leading into and out of the bus box will provide buses the necessary space to pull into the stop, stopping parallel and close to the kerb, and to safely pull out of the stop to merge into the traffic lane. Buses stopping parallel to the kerb provides inclusive access as it decreases the step height or ramp gradient for people boarding or alighting the bus. This is particularly important for people with limited mobility or with prams/strollers.
6.8 Tactile ground surface indicators provide visual and sensory information about the road environment. They assist people with vision impairment to access the bus from the adjoining footpath by directing people to where the front door of the bus will be and warning people of the kerb and potential hazard beyond. We are intending to install tactile pavers at all bus stops which have 5 or more passenger boarding per day or in areas with lots of pedestrian activity. This criteria was determined after consultation with Blind Low Vision NZ.
6.9 The kerb forms a critical interface between the bus and the passenger. Many bus stops have been shifted to ensure that the front or back door of the bus aligns with a kerb as opposed to a driveway, providing a clear and safe delineation between the road surface and the waiting area for bus passengers. Kerbs also reduce the step height which facilitates quicker, safer and more comfortable boarding and alighting times. Kerbs also reduce the gradient of a deployed ramp.
6.10 To allow for both the safe and convenient movement of pedestrians along the footpath and for an adequate waiting area for bus passengers, a minimum 9 metres of hardstand area where possible (measured from the front of the bus box which is also free of fixed obstacles) is proposed to be provided at the bus stops.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
7.1 The figures below provide the construction estimates for each type of bus stop upgrade;
Bus stop upgrades |
Construction estimate |
Bus stops with shelters |
$25,000 to $35,000 |
Bus stops with seats |
$6,000 to $10,000 |
Bus stops with line marking |
$2,000 to $6,000 |
Pedestrian refuges |
$40,000 to $75,000 |
7.2 The total cost of bus stop improvements is $384,500. The cost estimates includes construction cost and all associated design, consultation and supervision cost. The cost estimates also allow for a 10% contingency.
7.3 For each subset of bus stops, the following construction estimates are provided.
A. Wooldridge Road - $9,500
B. Wairakei Road between Wooldridge Road and Greers Road - $240,000
C. Wairakei Road (south west side) between Greers Road and Blighs Road - $25,000
D. Wairakei Road and Strowan Road between Blighs Road and Heaton Street - $35,000
E. Rossall Street - $65,000
F. Carlton Mill Road - $10,000
7.4 If approved, all recommendations will be constructed within 12 months, dependant on the contractor’s availability. The works will be funded out of the Traffic Operations, Capital Expenditure budgets for bus stops; seating and shelter installations as well as the bus stop renewals budget.
7.5 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - Transport Unit Operational Expenditure budget, includes maintenance of bus stop infrastructure, which may cost on average approximately $200 annually per bus stop.
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install stopping, standing and parking restrictions by resolution.
8.2 The Community Board 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 resolution of stopping, standing and parking restrictions, traffic islands and traffic restraints, and traffic control devices.
8.3 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.
Legal implications relating to bus passenger shelters
8.4 Under Section 339 of the Local Government Act 1974, the Council may erect on the footpath of any road, a shelter for use by intending public transport passengers or small passenger service vehicle passengers provided that no such shelter may be erected so as to unreasonably prevent access to any land having a frontage to the road. The Council is required to give notice in writing to the occupier and owner of property likely to be injuriously affected by the erection of the shelter, and shall not proceed with the erection of the shelter until after the expiration of the time for objecting against the proposal or, in the event of an objection, until after the objection has been determined.
8.5 Staff confirm the shelters will not prevent vehicular or pedestrian access to any land having a frontage to the road.
8.6 The relevant Community Boards 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 resolution of bus passenger shelters under Section 339 (1) of the Local Government Act 1974.
8.7 Where no objection to the shelter has been presented by the owner or occupier of an affected property, staff present a decision making report directly to the relevant Community Board.
8.8 Where an objection has been presented by the owner or occupier of an affected property, staff present a decision making report to a Hearings Panel. The Hearings Panel then assess the objection against the criterion as outlined in Section 339 of the Act and make recommendations to the relevant Community Board. The Community Board will then determine the outcome of the objections in accordance with criterion outlined in Section 339 of the Local Government Act 1974.
8.9 Section 339 of the Local Government Act requires that resolution of the proposed shelter will require a separate decision of a Council Hearings Panel that will hear the objections of the immediate owner (s) and occupier (s) of bordering properties.
Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.10 There is no legal context, issue or implication relevant to this decision.
8.11 This specific report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit however the report has been written using a general approach previously approved of by the Legal Services Unit, and the recommendations are consistent with the policy and legislative framework outlined in sections 8.1 – 8.9.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 Should the Community Board proceed with the ‘Do Nothing’ option (Option 2 of this report), many of the existing bus stops will not be marked to Council’s standard which will affect the operation of the Port-to-Port service as there may be vehicles impeding access into the bus stops. In addition, there will be no new bus stops on the new route extension. With no investment in improving the public transport facilities to the community, it will be difficult to increase public transport patronage.

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to present to the Waimāero Fendalton Waimairi Harewood Community Board the Hearings Panel recommendations following the consultation and hearings process on the Roto Kotahu Reserve Management Plan.
1.2 The Reserves Act Hearings Panel has no decision-making powers but, in accordance with its delegation, has considered the written and oral submissions received on the proposal and is now making recommendations to the Community Board. The Community Board can then accept or reject those recommendations as it sees fit bearing in mind that the Local Government Act 2002 s.82(1)(e) requires that “the views presented to the local authority should be received by the local authority with an open mind and should be given by the local authority, in making a decision, due consideration.”
1.3 The Community Board, as the final decision-maker, should put itself in as good a position as the Hearings Panel having heard all the parties. It can do so by considering this report which includes a summary of the written and verbal submissions that were presented at the hearings, any additional information received and the Hearings Panel’s considerations and deliberations. A link to the written submissions is also available should you want to review them, you can access those submissions by clicking on this link: https://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2022/07/RAHPC_20220727_AGN_8120_AT.PDF
2. Hearings Panel Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu o Te Tira Taute
That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board:
1. Receive and consider the information in the report, the recommendation of the hearings panel, the submissions, and all other relevant information received on the proposed Roto Kohatu Reserve Management Plan.
2. Adopt the Roto Kohatu Reserve Management Plan containing revisions agreed to by the hearings panel at its meeting on 27th July 2022.
3. Background / Context Te Horopaki
3.1 Located at the north-west edge of urban Christchurch, Roto Kohatu Reserve is part of a network of parks connected by walkways and greenways. The park has varied landform and character that includes the lakes, open grass areas and a rounded hill.
Ariel view of Roto Kohatu Reserve.
3.2 Roto Kohatu Reserve is highly valued for the leisure and sport opportunities provided by the two lakes: Lake Tahi and Lake Rua, and these lakes have become increasingly popular for both organised and informal activities. The lake margins are bordered by trees and other vegetation, and the park is a green haven for people and a wide range of water birds.
3.3 With the exception of a small area fronting Outlook Place, all areas of Roto Kohatu Reserve are classified as ‘Recreation Reserve’ under the Reserves Act 1977. The reserve at the Outlook Place entry is a Local Purpose (utility) Reserve.
3.4 This reserve management plan provides direction for the management and development of Roto Kohatu Reserve. Reserve management plans provide the community with greater certainty about the function and management of a reserve and ensure that management decisions are consistent with the Reserves Act 1977. The management plan recognises the values of the reserve, establishes a vision for its future, and sets management objectives and policies to achieve the desired outcomes.
3.5 Staff are confident that the Management Plan reflects the needs of the community, the natural environment, and the Council. The draft management plan (and an associated Development Plan for the reserve) was prepared with extensive input from staff, user groups, and the wider public through a series of meetings, surveys, and workshops between August 2020 and February 2021, and ongoing communication with those groups via Council’s Have Your Say website.
4. Consultation Process and Submissions Te Tukanga Kōrerorero / Ngā Tāpaetanga
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
4.1 An early engagement information-gathering process resulted in feedback from more than 30 stakeholders, organisations, user groups, or individuals through a Have Your Say consultation process and direct contact with user groups and key stakeholders including local iwi representatives.
4.2 Feedback from this process and earlier informal consultation informed development of the draft plan in key areas relating to layout and facilities, vegetation and birds, water, and reserve use.
4.3 A parallel consultation process confirmed a change of land classification of two land parcels to confirm all the park as Recreation Reserve.
4.4 Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga gave early feedback followed by comment on the draft plan, responding particularly in relation to biodiversity, ecology including pest fish concerns, and suitable native plantings.
4.5 To meet Reserves Act requirements, consultation on the draft Reserve Management Plan ran on the Council Have Your Say website over a period of two months from 24 January until 28 March 2022. An email was sent to approximately 100 stakeholders, including community organisations and user groups.
4.6 A Newsline article on 22 January was picked up by the Christchurch Press. Consultation was posted on the CCC Facebook page, also inviting a range of likes and comments on five local and wider area Facebook pages.
4.7 Copies of the draft Reserve Management Plan and Development Plan were available in central and local service centres, and letters were sent to approximately 30 adjacent property owners and occupiers letting them know of the draft plan, and how to submit.
4.8 A drop-in session held on site on Tuesday 15 February was attended by approximately 30 members of the public and user groups.
4.9 Additional meetings and phone calls were held with user groups and stakeholders, including adjacent property owners, during the consultation period.
Summary of Submissions
4.10 We received 86 submissions from ten recognised organisations, including six user groups and one business. This included feedback from the Department of Conservation, Environment Canterbury, North Canterbury Fish and Game, Christchurch International Airport Ltd, The Cancer Society, Disabled Persons Assembly, and six user groups.
4.11 The remainder were residents from across the city and wider area, with 36 submitters giving addresses from adjacent or nearby suburbs. All submissions are provided in the Hearings Panel Agenda.
4.12 We asked for comments on both the draft Reserve Management Plan and the Development Plan. Although most people provided suggestions only, there were a number of positive comments about the proposed future management and development of the reserve, indicating how strongly they valued the lakes and surrounding reserve area.
4.13 Key comments supported:
· A new entrance at Outlook Place
· Improvements such as grading of beach to access and use Lake Rua, e.g. swimming, boat/model yacht launch
· Development and building of facilities to support aquatic recreation for groups
· Retaining natural environment and the general approach to keep built structures to a minimum
· Additional activities put forward in the plan including more canoe polo courts.
4.14 Key suggestions included requests for:
· More parking, that is also better defined and managed
· Facilities that provide sun safety and adequate shading
· More facilities such as picnic tables and barbecues
· Improved access including wayfinding, paths, and cycle facilities.
4.15 Key concerns related to the need to manage anti–social behaviour, and there were a range of suggestions about how to manage dog behaviour and access. There were also several requests relating to jet-ski use on Lake Tahi including allocation of space and protection of birdlife. Christchurch Airport raised concerns about managing the risk of bird strike. These have been addressed in the management plan.
4.16 There was a range of feedback about ways to manage timing and allocation of space, including detailed responses and suggestions from user groups. There were also a number of ideas provided about specific activities for the public including families and children.
4.17 In total, 16 amendments were made to the draft Management Plan in preparation to be heard before a Reserves Act Hearings Panel.
5. The Hearing Te Hui
5.1 The Hearings Panel consisted of Councillor Jimmy Chen, Councillor Aaron Keown and Community Board Member Mike Wall. The Hearings Panel convened on 27 July 2022 to consider and deliberate on all submissions received on the proposal.
5.2 Prior to hearing oral submissions Council officers presented a brief overview of the proposed amendments and presented the Hearings Panel with further information in relation to the management plan and scope of consultation.
5.3 Prior to the hearing six submitters withdrew their request to be heard.
5.4 The Reserve Act Hearing Panel received verbal submissions from:
5.4.1 Amanda Dodd on behalf of Cancer Society
5.4.2 Chris Ford on behalf of Disabled Persons Assembly
5.4.3 Simon Rutherford on behalf of KORE limited
5.4.4 Lyndon Slater on behalf of North Canterbury Fish and Game
6. Consideration and Deliberation of Submissions Ngā Whaiwhakaaro o Ngā Kōrero me Ngā Taukume
6.1 The Hearings Panel considered and deliberated on all submissions received on the proposal as well as information received from Council Officers during the hearing. Some of the key issues that were addressed by the Hearings Panel are as follows:
6.2 The Panel had concerns about the management of the wide range of recreational and active users; anti-social behaviour; road access and parking; toilet and shower areas; flocking birds; water quality and shade sails.
6.3 The Hearings Panel accepted advice by Council Officers that the concerns had been address in the following way:
6.3.1 Security Cameras have been installed in the area as well as building a working relationship with Community Patrol in the area.
6.3.2 No Further parking is required as the current parking is adequate and such management would put more pressure on the environment.
6.3.3 The gravel road across the top of the Reserve will be closing allowing for a new access road with a new entry point which will be able to be used by a wide range of users and vehicle types.
6.3.4 Toilet and shower facilities have been installed and are currently open and operating.
6.3.5 The planting of tall trees and vegetation will have an impact on dissuading flocking birds from the area.
6.3.6 Water quality in the Reserve is monitored annually.
6.3.7 There are ongoing discussions with an organisation which is interested in funding shade sails to be used in the Reserve.
6.4 Council Officers referenced the consultation process for the Roto Kotahu Reserve draft development plan which was done congruently with the consultation process for the management plan but was not directly considered at the Reserve Panel Hearing, noting that it would be for the Community Board to consider and make a decision on.
6.5 Following consideration and deliberation of submissions, the Hearings Panel unanimously agreed to recommend the Community Board approve the Roto Kohatu Reserve Management Plan.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek Community Board approval of the Roto Kohatu Reserve Development Plan.
1.2 This report has been written following community consultation on the draft Development Plan.
1.3 The decisions in this report are of medium significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by such factors as Roto Kohatu Reserve not being a strategic asset but still providing a strong contribution towards the City’s health and wellbeing, strong interest from a range of user groups, the proposal is unlikely to have cost risks to the Council, and any decisions are capable of being reversed.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board:
1. Receive and consider the information in the report, the submissions, and all other relevant information received on the draft Roto Kohatu Reserve Development Plan.
2. Adopt the Roto Kohatu Reserve Development Plan.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Staff are confident that the Roto Kohatu Reserve Development Plan reflects the needs of the community, the natural environment, and the Council.

5.11 The remainder were residents from across the city and wider area, with 36 submitters giving addresses from adjacent or nearby suburbs. All submissions are provided in the Hearings Panel Agenda.
5.12 We asked for comments on both the draft Reserve Development Plan and the Management Plan. Although most people provided suggestions only, there were a number of positive comments about the proposed future management and development of the reserve, indicating how strongly they valued the lakes and surrounding reserve area.
5.13 One submitter requested we don’t change anything in the reserve.
5.14 Key comments supported:
· A new entrance at Outlook Place
· Improvements such as grading of beach to access and use Lake Rua, e.g. swimming, boat/model yacht launch
· Development and building of facilities to support aquatic recreation for groups
· Retaining natural environment and the general approach to keep built structures to a minimum
· Additional activities proposed in the plan including more canoe polo courts.
5.15 Key suggestions included requests for:
· More parking, that is also better defined and managed
· Facilities that provide sun safety and adequate shading
· More facilities such as picnic tables and barbecues
· Improved access including wayfinding, paths, and cycle facilities.
5.16 Key concerns related to the need to manage anti–social behaviour, and there were a range of suggestions about how to manage dog behaviour and access. There were also several requests relating to jet-ski use on Lake Tahi including allocation of space and protection of birdlife. Christchurch Airport raised concerns about managing the risk of bird strike. These have been addressed in both the Development Plan and the Management Plan.
5.17 There was a range of feedback about ways to manage timing and allocation of space, including detailed responses and suggestions from user groups. There were also a number of ideas provided about specific activities for the public including families and children.
5.18 These points and further detail are included in the consultation analysis table (Attachment B) and project team response tables (Attachment C).
5.19 In total, just seven amendments have been made to the draft Development Plan and are discussed in the project team response table (Attachment C). These changes include:
· Change wording in Item 1 on landscape plan to ‘Remediate lake edge for accessible swimming access and boat launching’
· Change wording in Item 10 on landscape plan to ‘Pathways extended and/or upgraded’
· Change wording in Item 11 on landscape plan to ‘Fishing locations along the causeway and western edge of the lake’
· Change wording in Item 13 on landscape plan from ‘sanctuary’ to ‘habitat’
· Delete Item 23 on landscape plan as this integrated with Item 10
· Revised western Lake Tahi habitat area extent on both Figure 1 and landscape plan
· In Table 2, ‘walking tracks’ is changed to ‘pathways’

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.3 Staff engaged with Tangata Whenua as project partners via Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd during pre-engagement. Feedback was that the matter 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.
6.4 Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd submitted feedback on the draft Development Plan and associated Management Plan on behalf of Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga. Their feedback was focussed on four elements: 1) inclusion of Māori design elements in interpretation signage, 2) eco-sourcing of native plant species, 3) accidental discovery protocols, and 4) potential contamination from the closed landfill. Subsequent communication with Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd also highlighted pest management requirements of the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan. Staff responses and recommendations related to these points are included in Attachment C (Project Team Response Tables).
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.5 The Development Plan (and associated Management Plan) encourages tree and shrub-land planting which will support an increase in city-wide canopy coverage and reduction in mowing to help mitigate climate change.

Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 12 September 2022 |
|
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board to recommend to the Council to accept the offer from the Department of Conservation (DOC) to control and manage the reserve at 52 Westholme Street. This report has been written in order for Council approval to be provided to DOC.
1.2 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The decision is of a local nature, it affects a limited number of citizens, the social and environmental effects will be positive, the cost to the Council is relatively minimal and the decision is capable of being reversed if and when required.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board recommend that the Council:
1. Approve the appointment of the Council to control and manage 52 Westholme Road (Reserve 5137) as a Recreation Reserve in accordance with Section 17 of the Reserves Act 1977 subject to:
a. The Department of Conservation: (1) securing the approval of Iwi; (2) cancelling the Scouts appointment to control and manage the site by Gazette Notice, and; (3) by a separate Gazette Notice, changing the current classification of the reserve under Section 24 of the Act from Local Purpose to Recreation Reserve and appointing Council to control and manage the reserve.
b. ENGEO’s pending site assessment report confirming that any contamination of the site is at an acceptable level, or is able to be remediated, for recreational use at a reasonable cost.
2. Authorise the Manager Property Consultancy to negotiate, conclude and administer all and any agreements necessary to facilitate recommendation 1 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 DOC approached the Council to see if it would take control and management of 52 Westholme Street which is a Gazetted reserve for a Scout Hall. The Scouts no longer operate from the site and the Scout Hall has been demolished.
3.2 The reserve offers the Council the opportunity to address an acute deficiency of open space within this community area.
3.3 The reserve, and its proposed use by the Council as a local park, is compatible with the residential area and being adjacent to Waimairi Primary School.
3.4 Council control will ensure that the land is tidied, and its continued use as open space will help to ameliorate the local effects of climate change.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The Council could choose not to take over the control and management of the reserve. In that context:
· The opportunity to address an acute deficiency of open space within this community area would be lost.
· The site, which is currently in a relatively wild state, would likely deteriorate further.
· The Crown may elect to revoke the land’s reserve status and sell the property for development purposes, exacerbating the local effects of climate change.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
DOC Offer for Council to Control and Manage the Reserve
5.1 DOC administers 52 Westholme Street, a Crown held local purpose reserve (Reserve 5132), situated adjacent to Waimairi School, Strowan (a Year 0-6 Primary School).
5.2 The reserve was set aside for a Scout Hall in September 1961 with the Scouts being appointed to control and manage the site in 1961 pursuant to the Reserves and Domains Act 1953 (now the Reserves Act 1977 – the ‘Act’). The relevant Gazette Notice is appended as Attachment A.
5.3 The Scouts ceased operating and removed the Scout Hall and outbuildings from the site in 2020/21. Other outbuildings and structures had been removed earlier from the now vacant site.
5.4 DOC approached Council staff in the Parks Unit in April 2022 to see if the Council would like to take over control and management of the reserve, shown shaded red below.
5.5 The reserve is situated in a residential suburban zone with access from Westholme Street.
5.6 There is some residual debris scattered around the site, presumably emanating from the demolition of the Scout Hall and outbuildings. Asbestos Clearance and Completion Certificates associated with the demolition of the Scout Hall (appended as Attachment B) confirm that the area can be reoccupied. However, some soil testing was considered prudent as no corresponding certificates were available with regard to clearance of the various other outbuildings and structures.
5.7 The Parks team engaged ENGEO to undertake an initial Detailed Site Investigation (DSI) which has indicated the existence of some contamination on the site. At the time of writing this report the outcome of further testing by ENGEO to determine the extent of any contamination (and the likely remediation costs) was pending. It is anticipated that this information will be available for discussion at the Board meeting.
5.8 At the southern end of the reserve an informal access-way across the reserve from Westholme Street leads to (black) gates providing a secondary access into Waimairi School (refer photograph below). There is currently no formal right of way (ROW) in favour of the school over this access-way.
5.9 Similarly, and as a secondary consideration, the sealed path over School owned land from Westholme Street (shown to the east of the black gates in the photograph above) provides pedestrian access to the school and also to the public walkway adjacent to the railway line to the east (shown highlighted pink in the plan below). There is, however, no formal public ROW over school land to this public walkway.
Assessment by the Parks Unit
5.10 In context, the park (1,204m2) does not meet the minimum size required for a new park to meet the level of service of 80% of residences in the surrounding area being within 500 metres of a park of at least 3,000m2 in size.
5.11 However, the acute deficiency of open space within this community area, together with its proximity to Council housing and the difficulty of acquiring land for open space in the immediate area, is such that the Parks unit strongly support the ‘acquisition’ of the reserve as a way of reducing this deficiency.
5.12 The reserve would be utilised as a local park potentially incorporating play equipment and landscaping, subject to community consultation.
Process
5.13 For DOC to transfer the control and management of the reserve to the Council they require a resolution from the Council to that effect.
5.14 The Parks Unit are agreeable to taking on this responsibility subject to:
5.14.1 ENGEO’s pending site investigation confirming that any contamination on the site is able to be remediated to an acceptable level for recreational use at a reasonable cost.
5.14.2 DOC undertaking the necessary consultation with, and securing the approval of, Iwi; cancelling the Scouts appointment to control and manage the site by Gazette, and; by a separate Gazette, changing the current classification of the reserve under Section 24 of the Act from Local Purpose to Recreation Reserve and appointing the Council to control and manage the reserve. (DOC has confirmed its agreement to address these requirements).
5.15 Council staff will inquire of the school if it wishes to retain the secondary vehicle access across the reserve to the gates on the school boundary and, if it does require this, investigate the process for the grant of a ROW easement in favour of the school for this access over the reserve.
5.16 Once control and management of the reserve has been transferred to the Council, and prior to its development as a local park, the Parks team are proposing to initiate a lizard survey (given the current semi-wild state of the site) and an arborist’s assessment of the trees to ensure that the site is safe for recreational use.
5.17 Enquiries will also be made to the school and the Ministry of Education (MOE) as to the prospect of the grant of a ROW easement in favour of the Council over the school owned land linking Westholme Street to the public walkway adjacent to the railway line.
Community Views and Preferences
5.18 Public notification and consultation on the proposed appointment of the Council to control and manage the reserve should not be necessary as the use of the land is not changing significantly. However, as a courtesy, prior notice to immediate neighbours (School, DOC, MOE, Scouts and MKT) will be appropriate.
5.19 Public notification will however be required prior to any reporting for approval of the proposed development of the land in the future.
5.20 Statutory process requires that consultation with Mana Whenua is undertaken by DOC - refer 6.4 / 6.5 below.
5.21 The decision affects the Fendalton-Waimairi- Harewood Community Board.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 The decision is consistent with Council’s Community Outcomes and Strategic Alignment: Liveable city: a 21st century garden city we are proud to live in; having good access to nature and green spaces; people have equitable access to open and green spaces.
6.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
6.2.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore
· Level of Service: 6.8.1.3 Parks are provided (people have access to parks within walking distance of home) - 80% of urban residential properties are <500m from a park (any type of park except a utility park) at least 3000m2 in size
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 Consultation with Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd (MKT), on behalf of Mana Whenua, has not yet been undertaken. It is noted however that the statutory process requires DOC to initiate consultation with MKT once the Council has resolved to accept DOC’s offer to control and manage the reserve. If MKT have no issues with the proposal then the appointment of the Council to control and manage the reserve can proceed.
6.5 Subject to that consultation process it is assumed that the retention and enhancement of green open space on the site will be a matter of positive interest to Mana Whenua and that it is not a significant decision in relation to land or water or other elements of intrinsic value and, as such, this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.6 The continuation and enhancement of existing green open space will contribute to the amelioration of the local effects of climate change.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.7 None. Public access to the reserve will be maintained.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement:

3.6 At its meeting on 15 August 2022, the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board resolved to allocate $4,000 from its 2022-23 Discretionary Response Fund towards Summer with your Neighbours 2022-23.
3.7 Summer with your Neighbours is about bringing people closer together and celebrating the unique and diverse mix of each neighbourhood. It invites residents to consider if they have ever wanted to organise a neighbourhood gathering, or to get to know the people who live close to them. This popular event has grown from year to year and is promoted by the Council.
3.8 Local community groups, including Residents' Associations and Neighbourhood Support groups, have been sent information inviting them to apply for the Summer with your Neighbours funding. Staff also promoted the fund through social media and other networks.
3.9 Summer with your Neighbours will run from 22 October 2022 to 31 March 2022. Applications for funding opened on 15 July 2022 and closed on 12 August 2022.
3.10 By the closing date, 31 eligible applications had been received. Staff have assessed the applications to ensure that they met the Summer with your Neighbours guidelines, and recommended an amount to be allocated to each application.
3.11 To create consistency in staff recommendations across the city, staff recommendations are based on the following formula:
· $2.50 per head up to a maximum of $200
· When the requested amount is less than the $2.50 per head formula, the requested amount is what has been recommended.
· Where two approximate attendee numbers have been noted, recommendations are based on the higher approximate figure.
3.12 A matrix outlining the applications and staff recommendations is attached (refer Attachment A), along with the Summer with your Neighbours Guidelines (refer Attachment B).

Bryndwr connections |
Staff are looking to get groups supporting the Bryndwr area together to look at connections, collaborations and complimentary projects and activities. What’s available to support the community or what might be needed or are they looking to get up and running. With a major Kāinga Ora (Housing) redevelopment going on in the area, new residents will be arriving in 2024 so it’s a good time for the groups to review and look at future developments and community supports and their roles in this.

3.2 Russley Playcentre
Russley Playcentre officially opened its new equipment storage shed on 25 August 2022. The Playcentre's previous equipment storage shed leaked and had recurrent rat infestations. There is a lack of storage inside the main building and the shed has become a storage area for many items, which were stacked to the roof.
With funding support from the Board's Discretionary Response Fund, the Playcentre have been able to purchase a much larger shed/garage which will provide a much safer and more organised storage facility.
3.3 Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Liaison Meeting - 17 August 2022
Approximately 25 representatives from local community organisations and local elected members attended the last Community Liaison Meeting. Erin Koller from the Fendalton Library gave a run down on what they do with a focus on the preschool programmes Pepi/Baby time and Story time. Sometimes they can have up to 50 babies active in the one space.
The library is also hosting a drop off point for “Give Gear Get Great”. This initiative provides an opportunity for people to drop-off sport and recreation equipment they no longer need and this can then be redistributed to those who want to get involved in an activity but don’t have the gear.
A large portion of the meeting was taken up with a discussion around the mental health system and questions the group may have around this. This feedback would inform the development of a follow up session in September that will look to answer these questions and more. Some shared their personal experiences which further reinforced the reality of the need. Everyone is looking forward to the session in September to find out how to navigate the Mental Health System and where else you can go in the community and what you can do, when it doesn’t work for someone you connect with.
3.4 Avonhead/Russley Safety Expo
On Sunday, 7 August, a Community Safety Expo took place at Russley Primary School. Attendees had the opportunity to meet services and support agencies through information stalls, look at Community Safety and Emergency Response Vehicles, have their number plates made safer with tamper-resistant screws and get their questions answered by a panel of experts.
Police, FENZ, Christchurch North Community Patrol (CNCP), Canterbury Neighbourhood Support, St John's, Sarah Pallet's Office and Graffiti were in attendance. Avonhead Community Trust provided volunteers to help on the day the school PTA ran a sausage.
Approximately 80 people attended the event. It was well received by those that attended. And would like to see a similar event happen annually.
3.5 Asian Community Transformation Trust (new group update)
The Asian Community Transformation Trust are developing and growing organically within the community. The group came about when a few people across different sectors were seeing the same issues in their Asian communities.
One need identified was for Mental Health support in the community. The idea of the programme they are developing is to build and support a network of trained community leaders so they can be approached in times of need. The current focus is Mental Health and getting people connected with support as needed. The Manager of the Trust is currently paid for ten hours a week to help get things up and running in the organisation. They already have a supervision group of around 20 'leaders' who have undertaken some training and are getting together to share experiences and support each other.
They have found through word of mouth they are also being approached by individuals who are trained health professionals working in organisations who want to connect because of the specific focus on the needs in the Asian community. They may not have this in their organisations and it’s a real bonus to have an ongoing support in the community as well as a first point of contact, it all works towards building the resilience of the community as well as supporting individuals.

3.6.2 Youth Development Fund report backs
· Nicholas Book
The Board provided funding to Nicholas Book in May 2022 to travel to Qatar for the FIBA Asia Cup and then to Spain for the FIBA World Cup.
The team ended up winning the Bronze medal at the Asia Cup, beating Lebanon 89 to 62 in the play-off for 3rd and 4th, resulting in the team qualifying for the World Cup in Spain. Nic was also named in the All Star 5.
The FIBA.basketball website has listed Nic as one of the top 20 players to watch from around the world and made the comment below:
"New Zealand are back at the U17 World Cup for a second straight appearance and Book was a major reason for that - averaging a double-double at the FIBA U16 Asian Championship 2022. He is a good-sized wing at 6-foot-8 who can pass and shoot and do a bit of playmaking. He is a good rebounder with an excellent motor."
· Angus (Will) Gilbert
The Board provided funding to Angus Gilbert in July 2022 to participate in the U23 Rowing World Championships in Italy. He has reported back that it was a very successful competition and he came away with a silver medal in the U23 coxless fours. Will has said that he will be continuing with the sport and that he is very grateful for the grant from the Community Board.
