5. Greater Christchurch Transport Plan and Investment Programme

Committee Comment:
Jesse Burgess introduced the item providing an overview of the scope for development of a Greater Christchurch Transport Plan (GCTP) and Transport Investment Programme (GCTIP). Key points included:

· The primary purpose of the GCTP is to provide a single plan for transport in the Greater Christchurch sub-region, which provides a consistent policy framework for transport investment that aligns with central government and GCP objectives. It also provides the ability to set out the transport policies and investments that are needed to give effect to the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan.

· The GCTP and GCTIP will be developed in two stages, with Stage 1 focussing on consolidating existing plans and programmes, with Stage 2 providing further detail on the transport interventions needed to give effect to the strategic direction for transport in the Spatial Plan .

· Stage 1, to be completed by September 2022, will provide a high-level outline of the outcomes, objectives and key interventions that are proposed for transport in Greater Christchurch, and provide the policy context for the GCTIP.

· Stage 2 will be completed once the direction on urban form for the Spatial Plan is determined, and will provide further detail on the transport policies and actions that are required to give effect to the Spatial Plan. This second stage of the GCTP will be developed in tandem with the preparation of the Spatial Plan documentation, and will have a longer term investment focus. It will also identify policy interventions that may be needed to implement the Spatial Plan.

· The Stage 2 plan will also provide the opportunity to update and extend the GCTIP, including a more detailed outline of proposed investments for the next cycle of Long-term plans and the National Land Transport Programme, and for the longer term (10 years+).

The Committee:

· Supported multi-disciplinary teams working on the transport plan, including a mixed group of professionals, to inform planning and strategy, including enhanced travel demand management.

· Noted the importance of early engagement with key stakeholders e.g. KiwiRail in the development of the GCTP & GCTIP.

Committee Resolved GCPC/2022/00008 without change to Staff Recommendation

That the Greater Christchurch Partnership Committee:

a. Notes the scope for the Greater Christchurch Transport Plan and Transport Investment Programme, including the outline of tasks and indicative timetable for this work stream.

5. Collective action to address housing needs
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	22/1159804
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Katherine Snook, Partnership Manager, Greater Christchurch Partnership

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Greater Christchurch Partnership (GCP) Committee on the approach to a collective focus on one of the key priorities for the sub-region - addressing housing needs across Greater Christchurch.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Greater Christchurch Partnership Committee:

1. Receive the report (Attachment A).

2. Note that the Greater Christchurch Councils, working in partnership with central government and other partners, will take forward a collective approach, led by the Christchurch City Council, to agree the specific actions where collective effort will accelerate the provision of affordable housing over the next 12 months, noting that any specific actions may need appropriate approvals from the relevant partner organisations. The partners will use the report (Attachment A) to inform this action.

3. Note that the GCP and central government partners will secure funding for the development of the Kāinga Nohoanga Strategy.

4. Note that partners expect the joint work programme resulting from the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan to include joint actions on accelerating the provision of social and affordable housing. As the Spatial Plan and Kāinga Nohoanga strategy development progresses, consideration will be given to how collective action to address housing needs is integrated into the joint work programme of the Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee resulting from these two pieces of work.

3. Context/Background Te Horopaki

3.1 Our Space 2018-2048 included an action for the three Territorial Authorities – Christchurch City Council, Waimakariri District Council, and Selwyn District Council to collectively take the lead working with Government and social and affordable housing providers to better address current and future housing needs across Greater Christchurch, developing an action plan to increase the provision of housing.

3.2 Councils, mana whenua and central government partners all take action through their own responsibilities and functions on housing across the sub-region. Notwithstanding this, the Our Space action sought for the Territorial Authorities to take the lead on a collective approach across the sub-region. In response to the Our Space action, the four GCP Councils, through the GCP, created a housing working group / work-stream and commissioned and received two reports to inform what is needed for stronger collective action by the Councils, the first being a report by Community Housing Aotearoa completed in late 2020 and the second being advice developed in consultation with the Councils from the Urban Advisory Group (Attachment A).

3.3 Over the period since the Our Space action, there has been significant change in the housing landscape in Greater Christchurch:

a. The scale of housing stress has grown significantly larger

b. Central government have implemented a range of policy directions and initiatives including the National Policy Statement – Urban Development and the creation of Kāinga Ora, to address housing affordability.

c. Mana whenua have identified the importance of developing a kāinga nohoanga strategy to provide clearer direction to partners about their priorities and expectations regarding kāinga nohoanga on Māori land reserves and in urban areas.

d. GCP Councils have become more aligned on the need and priority around addressing housing need.

3.4 In addition, and fundamental to driving a collective approach, an Urban Growth Partnership has been established for Greater Christchurch and the joint project of developing a Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan has commenced, which has the objective of seeking to accelerate the provision of quality, affordable housing.

3.5 While the spatial plan is being developed, the need to be implementing the step change in the provision of social and affordable housing now and alongside this stands. The work commissioned by the Councils has highlighted that through collective action, the Councils can have a greater impact.

4. Summary of report objectives and actions

4.1 The proposed shared objectives and actions for Councils to progress a collective approach to social and affordable housing in the report (Attachment A) are summarised below.

Objectives

That GCP Councils work together to:

a. Incentivise the desired type of housing (tenure, density, location, typology, cost) so that there is a range of mixed-tenure housing products throughout Greater Christchurch that are affordable for low-to-moderate income earners (i.e. key workers and the ‘intermediate housing’ market).

b. Be enablers of housing that provides for the needs and cultural preferences of mana whenua for Kāinga Nohoanga and papakāinga on Māori owned land and in urban areas.

c. Create an environment that gives confidence to potential partners (across the public, private and community sectors) to invest in Greater Christchurch.

d. Support the development of health-promoting housing and neighbourhoods that are not car-dependent.

e. Build housing and neighbourhoods for climate adaptability and ecological restoration through enabling the right kind of housing in the right places.

Actions

	Actions
Close the gap	Build more public housing Complete a joint strategy on issues of homelessness / emergency / transitional housing
Put the shared foundations in place	Establish and action a Strategic Housing Partnership on affordable housing
Take an active role in increasing affordable housing supply	Agree an approach to public land use and mixed-use development Support demonstration projects so that affordable housing can be catalysed in the short-term through key partnerships with the market, iwi, and the community housing sector Establish investment opportunities for the market Present a proposition to the central government to improve social and affordable housing provision Support and grow sector capacity and capability Engage the market and CHPs (Community Housing Providers) in affordable housing delivery Ongoing across-sector build-programme established on public land
Coordinate a long-term approach to retain affordability	Agree toolkit of supply-side incentives Agree to jointly explore ‘inclusionary housing’ policies Implement and monitor ‘inclusionary housing’ policies Support mana whenua to develop a Kāinga Nohoanga / papakāinga strategy and explore pathways to support its implementation, including infrastructure provision Implement mana whenua-led strategy Explore appropriate ways to implement and distribute proceeds of value capture / uplift

4.2 An example roadmap for the actions is included on page 20 of the advice included in Attachment A.

5. Next steps

5.1 The Greater Christchurch Councils, working in partnership with central government and other partners, will take forward a collective approach, led by the Christchurch City Council, to agree the specific actions where collective effort will accelerate the provision of affordable housing over the next 12 months, noting that any specific actions may need appropriate approvals from the relevant partner organisations. The partners will use the report (Attachment A) to inform this action.

5.2 The GCP and central government partners will secure funding for the development of the Kāinga Nohoanga Strategy.

5.3 In parallel, the Councils are working with GCP partners and central government, under the Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee, to develop the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan. This work, combined with the Kāinga Nohoanga strategy, will provide direction to a joint work programme that is expected to include joint actions to address housing needs.

6. Briefing to the incoming Committee
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	22/1160172
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Katherine Snook, Partnership Manager, Greater Christchurch Partnership

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the support of the outgoing Greater Christchurch Partnership (GCP) Committee to the briefing material to be used to advise to incoming Councillors and GCP Committee members on the purpose, function and priorities of the GCP Committee and Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Greater Christchurch Partnership Committee:

1. Receive and support the briefing to the incoming Committee (Attachment A) being provided to the incoming Greater Christchurch Partnership Committee.

2. Recommend to the incoming Greater Christchurch Partnership (GCP) Committee that at their first meeting they:

a. Receive the briefing to the incoming Committee.

b. Agree to retain the current GCP Committee membership, noting that there is a vacancy for the Health member.

c. Note the significant work programme for the GCP Committee over the next three years.

d. Note that the potential changes to the national planning framework during the next three years may have an impact on the strategy and work programme of the Partnership.

3. Context/Background Te Horopaki

3.1 With the establishment of the Urban Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch (Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee), ensuring that role, value and opportunity of the GCP and Urban Growth Partnership is understood and owned by the Partners is fundamental to ensuring a strong and successful partnership and achievement of outcomes.

3.2 The Partnership also has a substantive work-programme to transition to the new triennium and ensuring momentum and continued delivery of key projects is also an important objective.

3.3 The next triennium is expected to a period of significant change through the national reform agenda, with high expectations for delivery of the work programme through the Whakawhanake Kāinga and Greater Christchurch Partnership Committees. The ability to work constructively in partnership, prioritise effort and achieve consensus with a clear focus on the long-term outcomes for our communities will be critical to the success of the Committees over this triennium.

3.4 The work of the Partnership – both as a forum for consensus and leadership through the Committees, and as a joint work programme of central government, local government and mana whenua partners is a powerful mechanism for individual Partners to deliver on their own priorities and outcomes for their communities and deliver their mandated functions.

3.5 The Partnership provides the mechanism for joint investment, particular in critical infrastructure, and aligned policy that delivers greater benefit for our communities more effectively than Partners pursuing these objectives alone.

4. Briefing to the incoming Committee

4.1 A briefing to the incoming GCP Committee and Councillors has been prepared which sets out the purpose and functions of the Committees, the operating environment, and the work programme for the Committees into the new triennium (Attachment A). The briefing incorporates input from the GCP Committee.

4.2

The key dates for the incoming GCP Committee are as follows.

4.3 Once the briefing to the incoming Committee is supported by the GCP Committee, the briefing material will be used to advise to incoming Councillors and GCP Committee members on the purpose, function and priorities of the GCP Committee and Whakawhanake Kāinga Committee.
