1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 Adoption of Ngāi Tahu name for the area of wetlands
and basins.
1.2 This report has been generated by staff.
1.3 The
decision in this report is of medium significance in relation to the
Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level
of significance was determined by using the standard Council process to
determine significance.
2. Officer
Recommendation / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves Te Kuru as the name to be used
for the new storm water facility located in the southwest of Christchurch,
between Cashmere Road, Sutherlands Road, Hendersons Road and Sparks Road.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations / Ngā Take mō te
Whakatau
3.1 A
name for the new facility needs to be agreed and confirmed. To date the project
has been known as Stormwater – Eastman, Sutherland and Hoon Hay
Wetlands. The only part of the site that has been officially named by the
council is the Eastman Wetland – this particular wetland will
retain its name and will be within Te Kuru.
3.2 Council
staff requested a recommendation for an appropriate name for the stormwater
facility from mana whenua.
3.3 Mahaanui
Kurataioa Ltd held discussions with representatives of Te Ngāi
Tūāhuriri Rūnanga to determine a suitable name.
3.4 Te
Kuru was recommended as a result of these discussions.
3.5 Adopting
the name recommended by Ngāi Tūāhuriri builds on the
relationship with Ngāi Tahu Papatipu Rūnanaga and the Te Hononga
– Council Papatipu Rūnanga partnership, reflecting mutual
understanding and respect.
4. Alternative Options Considered / Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Retaining
the project working title was considered however has been discounted as it does
not reflect the Te Hononga – Council Papatipu Rūnanaga partnership
and it is long-winded.
5. Detail / Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Ngāi
Tūāhuriri has recommended the name of Te Kuru.
5.1.1 Te
Kuru has been used historically to reference the area and means ‘the
blow with the fist’.
5.2 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.2.1 Waipuna
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic
Alignment /Te Rautaki
Tīaroaro
6.1 Adopting the name aligns with the Community Outcomes of celebrating
our identity through arts culture and heritage, valuing the voices of all
cultures and a strong sense of community.
6.2 This report does not support the Council's
Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031).
Policy
Consistency / Te Whai
Kaupapa here
6.3 The
decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and
Policies.
6.4 The
naming of the facility follows the code of practice as set out by the Council
Naming of Reserves and Facilities Policy.
Impact
on Mana Whenua Ngā
Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.5 The
decision involves 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.
6.6 The
decision involves a matter of interest to mana whenua
and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities.
6.7 Mana
whenua recommended the name Te Kuru. If the name is
adopted it will strengthen the partnership between Council and mana whenua.
Climate
Change Impact Considerations / Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.8 Naming a facility does not create climate change impact, however the
facility itself does reduce flooding risk in extreme weather events and will
have over 100,000 native trees and 500,000 other native plants.
Accessibility
Considerations / Ngā
Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.9 Using
a Te Reo Māori name could increase accessibility/inclusiveness for mana
whenua.
6.10 Naming
of the facility does not impact physical accessibility, however the facility
itself has a main path network designed to be as accessible as possible to our
community.
6.11 Site
signage will be developed once the name has formally been decided.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex / Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost
to implement – the incorporation of a name has already been factored into
the project signage budget and therefore does not have any additional cost
implications.
7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing
costs – there are no ongoing costs from adopting the recommended name.
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report /
Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 The
Community Board has authority to approve the naming of its facilities.
Other Legal Implications / Ētahi atu
Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 The
Marketing and Identity Team will ensure compliance with any relevant trademark
requirements.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 The
name of the facility will be implemented across all Council marketing and
communications materials, including site signage, to ensure the facility naming
is consistent and clear to everyone in Christchurch.

papakāinga zones (particularly where a host is not living on the premises)
was notified in September 2020. At its meeting on 13 October 2020 the Board’s
Submissions Committee decided to exercise its delegated authority to complete
and lodge a submission on Proposed Plan Change 4 on behalf of the Board. The
submission was subsequently drafted and lodged by the closing date.
The hearing of the Plan Change, originally
scheduled for May 2021 was, at the request of the Council, adjourned to allow
time for additional evidence to be produced and Board representatives spoke to
the submission at the hearing in October 2021.
The Council decided at its meeting on 31
March 2022 to adopt the Panel’s recommendation that the plan change be
approved with some modification. Airbnb Australia Pty Limited subsequently
appealed the decision.
The Board advised the court that it
wished to be a party to the proceedings and was represented at mediation on 3

The council is currently seeking feedback
on its Safe speed neighbourhoods programme that is part of an integrated
national road safety strategy and plans to reduce speeds from 50 kilometres per
hour to 30 kilometres per hour around schools or 40 kilometres per hour in
neighbourhood streets, and Banks Peninsula settlements and roads, especially
those around schools.
The closing date for feedback is 30
November 2022.
4. Advice Provided to the Community Board
4.1 Halswell
Junction Road Signage
Following a public forum presentation by a
local resident to the Board meeting on 15 December 2020, the Board requested
staff advice on whether the location and erection of the NZTA directional road
sign outside the property at 419 Halswell Junction Road complied with necessary
standards and approval processes.
The staff memorandum provided in response
to the Board’s request advised that the permanent sign erected is
compliant with the Manual of Signs and Markings (MOTSAM) requirements (i.e. New
Zealand Transport Agency standards) for this type of sign and that such signs
on legal road are a permitted activity under Chapter 6 - General Rules and
Procedures section 6.8.4.1.1 and Chapter 7 - Transport. Rule 7.4.2.1.P15 of the
District Plan. The advice was included in the area report to the meeting on 18
May 2021. Following the receipt of this advice the Board requested that
appropriate Council staff meet as soon as possible with interested Board
members, Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency staff, and affected parties
to progress the matter of Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency signage on
Halswell Junction Road.
A staff memorandum was included in the
Area Report to the 17 August 2021 meeting outlining that as part of temporary
traffic management during construction a temporary sign was erected outside the
property at 419 Halswell Junction Road that had reduced letter heights and
symbols that did not comply with the Manual of Signs and Markings requirements
for this type of sign. The sign was subsequently replaced with a permanent sign
that is compliant with the Manual of Traffic Signs and Marking and that was
repositioned approximately 10 metres closer to the intersection and further
away from the new building (consented for a shed) that has been erected on 419
Halswell Junction Road. It was noted that the sign’s compliance had been
communicated to the property owner and that Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport
Agency staff responsible had advised that the Agency sees no perceived value in
the meeting proposed by the Board.
Following further presentations by the
resident reiterating his view that the sign does not comply with applicable
standards the Board at its meeting on 28 June 2022 requested that staff confer
with Waka Kotahi and advise the Board on whether the Advanced Directional sign
on Halswell Junction Road complies with all relevant technical standards for
signage on an arterial road with a speed limit of 50 kilometres per hour, in
particular in terms of its distance from the intersection with John Paterson
Drive.
The attached memorandum (Attachment B)
has been provided in response. The memorandum advises that Waka Kotahi has
confirmed that the sign has been constructed and positioned to comply with the
relevant technical design standards as explained in the previous memoranda.
While the adjacent property owner disputes that the distance of the sign from
the intersection does comply Waka Kotahi and staff do not agree with his
figures and point out that the standards allow discretion for “Very large
roadside mounted guide signs, unusual road layouts and/or difficult adjacent
topography may require special consideration and warrant departures from the
normal sign location rules” and that the sign is located in the best
position for safety of road users. As the sign complies with the design
standards Waka Kotahi has confirmed that it has no reason to relocate it.
4.2 Brockworth
Place - Angled Parking
At its meeting on 14 June 2022 the Board
received a public forum presentation observing that Brockworth Place has a
number of multi-unit residences with wide entrances that limit the space
available for on street parking and suggesting that the street could
accommodate angled parking along one side to create additional parking.
The Board agreed to request staff to investigate and provide advice on the
possible installation of angled parking on one side of Brockworth Place,
Riccarton.
The Traffic Engineer has now responded,
advising that:
· There are safety
concerns associated with angled parking due to reversing vehicles. Vehicles
parked in angled parking spaces would predominantly need to reverse onto the
carriageway. This could pose a serious safety risk to other road users,
especially cyclists. Also, in the case of reverse parked vehicles (front
of the vehicle facing the carriageway), it needs to be noted that the rear part
of such vehicles could extend into the footpath, thereby causing safety and
accessibility concerns for the footpath users.
· Not many additional
on street spaces can be obtained from the installation of angled parking.
Parking within one metre of any usable access way is not permitted. With angled
parking spaces, the distance from access ways has to be more to provide
appropriate sight distance for people exiting nearby access ways, particularly
if reversing from the driveway. Access ways of several multi-unit
residential properties are present at regular intervals along both sides of
Brockworth Place. After allowing the necessary clear spaces to provide adequate
sight distance for vehicles exiting the residential access ways, there is very
limited room to provide any additional on street parking spaces (when compared
to the existing situation).
Due
to the above, staff do not recommend angled parking spaces along Brockworth
Place.
4.3 Waterloo
Road and Gilberthorpes Road – Proposal for Parking Restrictions
At the Board meeting on 28 June 2022 the
Greater Hornby Residents’ Association made a public forum presentation
advising that the Association would like to see parking restrictions put in
place on portions of both Gilberthorpes Road (from Gregory Avenue to the
Railway line) and Waterloo Road (from the Railway line to Kyle Park). The
Association suggested a 240 minute parking restriction along these stretches
with the exception of a 30 minute parking space between the entrance of 4
Gilberthorpes Road and the bus stop, to be reserved for Police to monitor the
nearby intersection. The purpose of the restrictions to ensure sufficient
parking is available for the Filipino and Samoan Church congregations.
The Board referred the Greater Hornby
Residents’ Association’s proposal to staff and requested that the
proposal be investigated and advice be provided to the Board.
The local Traffic Engineer has responded
to the Board’s request as follows:
Pointing out that the South Express Major
Cycle Route project includes the following changes around the Waterloo Road /
Gilberthorpes Road intersection:
· Conversion of
Moffett Street into a cul-de-sac.
· A signalised
crossing facility for cyclists and pedestrians across Parker Street (connecting
the shared path along Waterloo Road).
· Kerb extensions on
Gilberthorpes Road near the intersection.
· New median islands
on Waterloo Road with tactile pavers.
· No stopping
restrictions at the intersection and along the southern side of Waterloo Road
adjacent to the proposed shared path (up to opposite 286 Waterloo Road).
A plan showing the proposed improvements
is attached (Attachment C). These improvements are expected to greatly
improve road safety around this intersection. As shown in the plan, No Stopping
restrictions are proposed along certain parts of Waterloo Road and
Gilberthorpes Road and these restrictions overlap with the extents proposed by
the Greater Hornby Residents’ Association. Also, the general traffic and
parking behaviour is expected to change after the completion of this project.
Moreover, based on the information provided, the residential developments
around this intersection are not yet complete and it is difficult to estimate
the future demand for on street parking at this location. There are many on
street parking spaces along Gilberthorpes Road and Waterloo Road near this
intersection and they appear to cater to demands of the residents and visitors.
In addition to the information mentioned
above, it also needs to be noted that, according to the Land Transport (Road
User) Rule 2004, time restricted parking restrictions apply between the hours
of 8AM and 6PM on days other than public holidays, unless otherwise specified
on the sign or on a supplementary sign. Based on this rule, vehicles can
legally park between 2PM and 12PM continuously in P240 spaces (22 hours in a 24
hour period). So, restrictions of this kind may not provide the necessary
parking spaces for the church congregations at this location. Adding a
“At all times” supplementary would ensure that these restrictions
apply all day. But, restrictions of that kind are expected to receive negative
feedback from the nearby residents as they would need to move vehicles through
the night to comply with the restrictions.
Therefore the Traffic Engineer advises
that maintaining the status quo at this location would be the best option at
this stage. The parking demand and traffic flow around the Waterloo Road /
Gilberthorpes Road intersection could be analysed after the completion of the
South Express Major Cycle Route project and the nearby residential developments
and any kind of parking restrictions (if appropriate) be considered based on
the situation at that time.
4.4 306
Riccarton Road
A site visit was
held at 306 Riccarton Road on Wednesday 19 October 2022 at 11.45am.
The site visit
was as a result of the Community Board’s request:
“…that
staff meet the owner of 306 Motel Apartments on Riccarton Road and Board
members at the apartments to explore options to deter vehicles from entering
the carpark of 306 Riccarton Road for the purposes of turning around and
exiting onto Riccarton Road.”
In attendance:
· Andrei Moore, Mark Peters and Helen Broughton from the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board.
· Sally Ching and Stewart Ching from 306 Riccarton Road
· Andrew Hensley, Stephen Wright and Matthew Pratt attended from
Christchurch City Council.
Apologies:
· Henk Buunk, Tyla Harrison-Hunt, Marie Pollisco and Sarah Brunton.
The following is
a brief summary of the korero:
· All parties understood the need for changes to the intersection of
Middleton Road and Riccarton Road to improve the safety of the intersection.
· Following the implementation of the changes, the owners of the Motel
at 306 Riccarton Road report between 5 and 15 cars per day use the car park at
306 Riccarton Road for the purposes of turning around and exiting onto
Riccarton Road. A similar number of cars use the entrance way of 306 Riccarton
Road to perform a 3-point turn for the purposes of turning around and exiting
onto Riccarton Road.
· The assumption that cars turning around at the property are drivers
from Middleton Road who can no longer turn right at the intersection with
Riccarton Road was accepted by all.
· It was suggested that the driver behaviour is from:
i. drivers who repeatedly use the Motel to
turn around on Riccarton Road (i.e. Uber Drivers); and
ii. drivers who have been ‘caught out’
by the changes to the intersection.
· It was noted that:
i. directions in GPS apps (such as Google
Maps) have not been updated to take into account the new road layout;
ii. an Advanced Directional Sign review was
underway across the city with Middleton Road as a priority;
iii. Christchurch City Council have installed judder
bars and a ‘Motel use only’ sign to deter drivers from turning
around at 306 Riccarton Road. The owners report that these measures have not
been effective; and that
iv. on occasions pedestrians can be stranded in the
flush median on Riccarton Road, as a result, any physical structure would need
to enhance, not impede, pedestrians.
· Following a discussion, there was consensus that a solution in the
middle of Riccarton Road would to restrict access to the Motel car parka and
that any type of solution would require a physical construction of sorts, a
mountable strip is not a practical solution as it would not stop driver
behaviour.
· It was agreed that ‘hit sticks’ along the middle of
Riccarton Road be implemented for a trial period of time to ascertain if a
physical solution would be effective.
Next steps:
· Christchurch City Council staff will:
i. request GPS providers to update their
route information to include the changes to the intersection;
ii. design and draft a temporary traffic
management plan to allow for the implementation of ‘hit sticks’ for
a trial period of time (up to six months);
iii. share the design of the new road layout with 306
Riccarton Road for comment;
iv. consult with other business owners in the vicinity
prior to implementing any changes (following comments as per the above);
v. implement the trial (if feedback from
consultation is positive) prior to Christmas – noting this is reliant on
a Contractor being available and
vi. place Advanced Directional Signage on Middleton Road – noting
this is likely to take place in January.
4.5 Pedestrian
access from Lesley Keast Place to Hornby Library
At its Board meeting on 13 July 2021 the
Board discussed local concern regarding difficult pedestrian access from Lesley
Keast Place to Hornby Library and agreed to request staff advice on the
construction of a footpath between Lesley Keast Place and the Library.
Staff have advised that a new path cannot
be prioritised at this stage due to the lack of available funding, expected
patronage and the need for similar paths at various other locations in the city
to be prioritised. It is noted that the construction of Matatiki: Hornby
Centre is currently in progress and programmed for completion in late 2023.
This facility will host the new Hornby Library.
4.6 Anti-social
driving behaviour on Trevor Street, Hornby
At its meeting on 2 August 2022 the Board
noted concerns have been raised regarding speeding and anti-social driving
behaviour on Trevor Street, Hornby. The Board agreed to request staff undertake
traffic monitoring and provide advice on ways to manage any anti-social driving
behaviour.
Traffic staff have now responded
acknowledging residents’ concerns with some drivers travelling over the
speed limit and people driving inappropriately but noting that there is no
specific funding allocated at present in the Council’s current Long Term
Plan for traffic calming measures in Trevor Street. Any traffic calming
related works would therefore fall within the minor safety budget, with funding
allocation being prioritised for safety improvements at the worst
sites/intersections across the city for reported injury crashes.
A search of Waka Kotahi New Zealand
Transport Agency’s Crash Analysis System since 2017 does not show any
crashes along Trevor Street.
It is also noted that the curved sections
of Trevor Street currently have kerb extensions that will control the speed of
vehicles on the street.
Based on the information available and the
existing safety scenario staff do not consider that traffic calming measures at
this location are warranted.
Driving in an inappropriate manner is a
police enforcement matter and it is recommended that this be reported to NZ
Police by calling the 105 non-emergency number. NZ Police have indicated to
staff that inappropriate driving behaviour needs to be reported to them so that
they could try and organise monitoring (if appropriate) in the hotspots.
Specific incidents can also be reported via the on line form.
Staff will be meeting with NZ Police
shortly to discuss recent increases in anti-social driving behaviour and how
the Council can collaborate with Police to further deter this behaviour. Staff
will ensure that NZ Police are aware of the concern about anti-social driving
behaviour along Trevor Street.
4.7 Investigation
of Car parking restrictions on Dumfries Drive, Hornby
At its meeting on 2 August 2022 the Board
noted that there are concerns regarding the volume of cars parking on Dumfries
Drive, Hornby, impacting the availability of car parking for residents. The
Board agreed to ask staff to investigate installing car parking restrictions on
Dumfries Drive, Hornby.
Traffic staff have investigated possible
parking restrictions on Dumfries Drive, noting that all road users have equal
rights to use on-street car parking. As long as vehicles are parked legally,
there are no restrictions regarding the number of non-residents parking along
any street. If residents find vehicles parking directly outside their main
driveway or within one metre of their driveway, within six metres of an
intersection, partly or fully on the verge, or any way that is illegal or
inappropriate, they can call the Council’s Customer Service, and the
matter will be referred to the Parking Compliance Team.
It is further noted that No Stopping
Restrictions (yellow lines) are usually only implemented if there are serious
safety/accessibility concerns caused due to parked vehicles.
Time restricted parking could potentially
be considered but restrictions would apply also to residents and their visitors
but would be looked at on the request of residents and consulted.
