4. Public Forum Te Huinga Whānui

Part B

4.1

Water charges for residents

Garth Wilson, Central Riccarton Residents' Association, addressed the Board regarding excess water charges for residents. The Association expressed concern that the charging regime adopted by the Council is not equitable, particularly given that residences on shared meters will not be charged. Mr Wilson queried the criteria of eight residents per household and suggested that this could be open to misrepresentation.

The Association does not consider that the water charging regime is compatible with residents maintaining the city's 'Garden City' brand.

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

7. Easement (Kiosk) - Nga Puna Wai (189 Wigram Road)
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/119719
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Charly Baik, Property Consultant, charly.baik@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Davis, General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services (jane.davis@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin

1.1 This report seeks a decision of the Community Board under delegation for the Council to enter into an easement agreement and register the electricity easement to Orion New Zealand Limited at Nga Puna Wai Reserve (189 Wigram Road).

1.2 Due to the urgency of the construction of the kiosk and the risk of costs being relayed to the Council if the work is delayed, approval for the construction of the kiosk was granted.

The approval of the Netsal lease by the Community Board and Council had included a provision in the lease for supporting infrastructure-related construction activities in order to enable the required infrastructure to operate the Netsal facility without delay. This easement is therefore seen as a de facto arrangement.

A retrospective easement is therefore entered with Orion NZ Ltd that provides the power source for the new Netsal facility.

1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by impacts on the reserve and public that were identified as minimal and it was previously consulted on as part of the wider consultation as part of the approval of the Netsal lease.

1.4 There are no impacts on mana whenua that was identified during consultation arising on the wider proposal of the lease and also the proposed kiosk easement.

1.5 The kiosk is 2.2m by 2.5m and located on the corner of Augustine Drive and an existing path, as shown on the plans and aerial photos. The kiosk lies within the boundary of Lot 5 DP739928 which is a Local Purpose (Esplanade) Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. Parks have noted it will not encroach into the adjoining parcel which is held as a Recreation Reserve.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Subject to the consent of the Minister of Conservation, approves under Section 48 of the Reserves Act 1977, the granting of an electricity easement in gross to Orion New Zealand Limited, to convey electricity as defined in the easement plan referred in clause 5.3 of the report on the meeting agenda

a) Area BB SO 538085 (as-built plan) comprised in Lot 5 Deposited Plan 73928.

2. Recommends that the Chief Executive, using the Council’s delegated authority from the Minister of Conservation, consents to grant the easement in 1 above.

3. Authorises the Manager Property Consultancy with the consent of the Minister of Conservation to finalise documentation and implement the easement.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Orion has installed the Kiosk at Council’s request that provides the power source for the new Netsal facility, which is a condition that was provided for in the lease that the Council and Community Board approved previously.

3.2 The granting of an easement to Orion is a standard low-risk property right process, which is a routine Council process and, in this case, is not an exception.

3.3 The easement will provide legal access to Orion to carry out repairs and maintenance but it will also identify where their services are located at Nga Puna Wai reserve.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 No alternative is suggested and there is no advantage.

4.2 The disadvantages of this outcome would be:

4.2.1 Orion will not have legal access to maintain their asset.

4.2.2 The presence of Orion’s infrastructure will not be identified in the relevant titles.

4.2.3 It would not reflect best practice, which is for Council to register easements over its land.

4.2.4 Orion has already completed the works at Council’s request, on the assurance an easement would follow later to formalise its occupation.

4.3 Legal implications will arise with Orion and the Tenant if Council refuses to register an easement.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The Council with the approval of the Community Board entered into a new lease for the Netsal Facility at Nga Puna Wai.

5.2 A condition of the lease enables the construction of infrastructure-related activities to operate the new Netsal Facility.

5.3 Parks and Orion NZ ltd entered into an agreement to build a kiosk to provide a power source for the Netsal facility.

5.4 A survey will be completed for the completed kiosk and registered on the title.

5.5 All costs associated with the creation of this easement will be paid by Council (budgeted) and Orion will meet the repair and ongoing maintenance of the underground cables.

5.6 As the land is vested as a Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977, the Community Board must consider and approve this electricity easement request. A secondary delegation is required to be authorised, being the Minister of Conservation’s consent under Section 48 (1) (d) of the Reserves Act. The Board has the ability to record support for the Chief Executive to exercise the delegation on behalf of the Minister.

5.7 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

5.7.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

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.

6.5 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and would not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga

6.6 Mana Whenua were consulted by Parks of the proposed Kiosk to supply power for the new Netsal Facility and future electricity supply network for sporting facilities.

6.7 No objections or concerns were raised of this easement by Mana Whenua.

8. Knights Stream School Area Improvements
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/83843
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Gautham Praburam, Traffic Engineer, gautham.praburam@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna Halswell Hornby Riccarton Community Board to approve the proposed safety improvements in the Knights Stream neighbourhood.

1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the students at Mingimingi Hautoa Knights Stream School.

1.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined through consideration of the various assessment criteria in the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy Worksheet.

1.4 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.5 The recommended option is to implement traffic calming on the approaches to the roundabout at the Richmond Avenue / Whincops Road / Caulfield Avenue intersection, traffic calming along Whincops Road and a kerb extension on Halswell Junction Road in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board pursuant to Section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974, approves:

1. Raised platforms in the approach lanes and pavement markings at the Richmond Avenue / Whincops Road / Caulfield Avenue intersection, as shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

2. Speed cushions across both lanes of Whincops Road, south west of the Whincops Road / Ishwar Ganda Boulevard intersection, as shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Speed cushions across both lanes of Whincops Road, north east of the Quaifes Road / Whincops Road / Marshs Road intersection, as shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

4. Kerb extension on the northern side of Halswell Junction Road approximately 100 metres west of its intersection with Albert Wills Avenue, as shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The Richmond Avenue / Whincops Road / Caulfield Avenue intersection is a busy location. Many young children were observed passing through this intersection while walking to or from Knights Stream School. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely.

3.2 The roundabout was identified as a location of concern by the children of Knights Stream School during the school travel plan survey that was completed.

3.3 This intersection was also the site of a Fatal Crash in March 2022 involving a person riding a bicycle.

3.4 The recommendations in this report will help to improve safety for journeys to school and around the neighbourhood by installing:

3.4.1 Traffic calming on all approaches to the Whincops Road / Richmond Avenue / Caulfield Avenue intersection.

3.4.2 Two sets of speed cushions on Whincops Road:

· South west of the Whincops Road / Ishwar Ganda Boulevard intersection.

· North east of the Quaifes Road / Whincops Road / Marshs Road intersection

3.4.3 A kerb build out on Halswell Junction Road near Knights Stream Park.

3.5 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo.

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 There is no cost to Council.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not support safer outcomes for all road users in the Knight Stream subdivision.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for CCC and is also a national priority under the principles and guidance of the Road to Zero - New Zealand’s road safety strategy for 2020-2030. Providing safe infrastructure is key to ensure people get to where they are going safely regardless of how they are travelling.

5.2 Under the Waka Kotahi One Network Framework Classification, Richmond Avenue, Whincops Road and Caulfield Avenue are local streets providing access for residents in the Knights Stream neighbourhood. Whincops Road is an attractive route for people travelling from the Selwyn District, however it is classified as a local road.

5.3 Christchurch City Council’s traffic count database shows that Richmond Avenue carries approximately 1700 vehicles per day, Whincops Road carries approximately 4100 vehicles per day and Caulfield Avenue carries approximately 2000 vehicles per day.

5.4 There are pedestrian crossings provided at the intersection for people walking in the neighbourhood and for journeys to school. Many young children were observed walking to and from Knights Stream School along Richmond Avenue and through the Richmond Avenue / Whincops Road / Caulfield Avenue intersection.

5.5 The Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System (CAS) was used to gain an understanding of any underlying safety issues at the intersection. There has been one crash at the intersection in the past five years. This resulted in the fatality of a person riding a bicycle. Although the crash history does not show any underlying safety concerns, the current road layout is not conducive to a safe pedestrian environment.

5.6 Council has received feedback from the community in the past that vehicles are frequently observed to be travelling at unsafe speeds across the Knights Stream neighbourhood.

5.7 Specific feedback has also been received in the past regarding vehicles speeds along Whincops Road. Many vehicles were observed to be travelling at excessive speeds when entering Whincops Road from Quaifes Road or Marshs Road which have a higher posted speed limit and are more rural in nature.

5.8 The proposed raised platforms at the Whincops Road / Richmond Avenue / Caulfield Avenue intersection and speed cushions along Whincops Road will encourage safer speeds near the Knights Stream School and for people who live along this street.

5.9 Kerb extension on Halswell Junction Road near Knights Stream Park will act as a traffic calming device and will also serve as a platform for installing school speed signs.

5.10 Following consultation, a change has been made to the proposal:

5.10.1 Addition of speed cushions on Whincops Road close to the intersection with Quaifes Road/Marshs Road. Red pavement surfacing was earlier proposed at this location.

5.11 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

5.12 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.

6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1 Consultation started on 25 November 2022 and ran until 16 December 2022. Submissions could be made through a range of channels including our Have Your Say webpage.

6.2 An email inviting feedback was sent to eight key stakeholders, including Halswell Community Project, Halswell Residents’ Association and Knights Stream School.

6.3 Community organisations were provided with information to share onto their social media – we received 229 unique page visits from Facebook as a result.

6.4 Letters were sent to the 12 most affected residents, outlining the project and inviting them to give feedback.

6.5 We received submissions from three recognised organisations and 15 individuals. All submissions are available to view at https://www.ccc.govt.nz/the-council/haveyoursay/show/567.

6.5.1 11 supported installing raised speed platforms, including Knights Stream School, and six opposed.

6.5.2 Seven supported installing speed cushions on the Whincops Road/Richmond Avenue roundabout, including Knights Stream School and four opposed.

6.6 The key issues raised and staff responses table is available in Attachment B.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

3.4 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.4.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan [for items not included in the above table but are included in Community Board Plan]

· Development of the Board’s 2023-25 Community Board Plan is underway. In November the Board heard from a number of Community groups about their visions for the future of their areas. Board workshops were held on 26 January 2023 and 23 February 2023.

3.4.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.

· Ōtautahi Christchurch Urban Forest Plan

The Urban Forest Plan focuses on the growth and management of both public and private trees and sets out how we can increase tree canopy cover across all of our urban area, over 50 years. Achieving this will require strong action across Council activities and by the whole community – working together to nurture the forest, harnessing community participation and strengthening partnerships.

This Plan sets our direction and priority for planting, nurturing and protecting our city’s trees for now and the future. It forms a key component of the city’s response to climate change challenges and integrates with other Council plans directing the future intensification of urban form and a well-functioning city.

Consultation on the Plan was open for feedback from 2 February 2023 until 6 March 2023.

· Start Work Notices – Various Start Work Notices have been sent to the Board throughout the month. All city-wide start work notices can be found at: https://ccc.govt.nz/transport/works.

4. Advice Provided to the Community Board

4.1 Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme

A staff memorandum has been provided to the Board detailing the Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme for the next three years (refer Attachment B).

4.2 Challenge Service Station Redevelopment - Sewer Infrastructure Issues

At its 20 September 2022 meeting the Board requested staff meet with the owners of 345 Halswell Road and Board members to discuss sewer network overload concerns. Staff have provided the following information:

A new wastewater connection is being installed as a local pressure connection to avoid impacts on the property when the pipe in Halswell flows full. The reason why this property was impacted when the wastewater flow in the DN400 pipe is at >70%, is because of the flatness of the area and therefore the low grade from private sewers to the Council pipe in the street. This problem is overcome by pumping wastewater into the Council pipe in Halswell Road rather than allowing it to flow by gravity.

4.3 Cycle movement through the new road layout at the Jones Road/Dawsons Road intersection.

At the Board meeting on 12 April 2022 members discussed the changes to intersection layout in the vicinity of Jones and Dawsons Roads and the effects this may have on cyclists. It was agreed to seek staff advice on cycle movement through the new road layout and the efficiency and safety of cycle movement subsequent to the changed road layout on Jones and Dawsons Roads, Templeton.

Staff have now advised that:

The intersection lies on the boundary between Selwyn District and Christchurch City. The western side of Dawsons Road is within Selwyn District, with Christchurch to the east. The intersection was previously configured as a crossroads, with priority for movements along Jones Road. The new layout is a T-intersection with three arms (the Jones Road western arm has been removed), with priority now given for movements on Dawsons Road.

Construction work involving changes to this intersection is now complete and the intersection is operational. A shared path for pedestrians and cyclists runs along the southern side of Jones Road from its intersection with Dawsons Road up to its intersection with Globe Bay Drive. This path will connect with the proposed South Express Major Cycle Route to provide a continuous safe route for cyclists to and from the city centre.

A median refuge island (shown in the photograph below) has been constructed on the Dawsons Road south approach to the intersection. This provides a safe crossing facility for cyclists and pedestrians wishing to cross Dawsons Road and enter the shared path along the Selwyn District section of Jones Road. The refuge island allows cyclists to cross the road in two separate movements and assess gaps in one traffic stream at a time.

The new intersection layout (T – intersection) is less complex than the previous layout, requiring cyclists and pedestrians to watch and assess gaps in traffic from only three directions (North, South and East) as opposed to four directions earlier. Vehicle speeds through the intersection are also likely to be lower than in the previous layout.

Based on the facts mentioned above, staff consider that movements around the Jones Road/Dawsons Road intersection has become safer for cyclists than it was in the recent past.

4.4 Traffic safety in Awatea Gardens, Wigram

At the meeting on 17 February the Board received a public forum presentation from local residents, regarding traffic safety concerns particularly vehicle speed in Awatea Gardens, Wigram.

Following questions from members, the Board discussed the matters raised and agreed to ask that staff investigate them and provide advice on traffic safety in Awatea Gardens, Wigram in including traffic speed any measures that can be implemented to improve safety, including speed humps.

Staff have now responded as follows:

Lower speed limits were implemented in Wigram in October 2021. Staff have received feedback from residents that drivers were not complying with the newly posted speed limits at that time. Speed surveys were completed in 25 locations in the Wigram low speed limit area. Results showed that the mean vehicle operating speeds were over the posted speed limits in most locations.

Speed limit signs were located only at the entry points to the lower speed limit area. The absence of repeater signage and markings as people travel through this part of Wigram was considered to be one of the reasons for non-compliance of the posted speed limits.

After further investigations, additional signs and pavement markings were proposed for this part of Wigram (see Attachment C). The works were completed in February 2023. It is considered that these measures should improve compliance to the posted speed limits thereby reducing road safety risks in the neighbourhood.

4.5 151-153 Gilberthorpes Road

During the 2021-31 Long Term Plan the Council made the decision to sell several properties that were no longer required for the purpose that they were originally acquired for. One of these was a property at 151-153 Gilberthorpes Road, Hei Hei.

Following advocacy by the Board at a Council it was agreed that staff would undertake a process to test community demand. This was done through a public expression of interest process to help determine the community space needs. Leading up to the expression of interest process, local Board staff worked closely with a variety of community groups to ensure their awareness of the process and their ability to participate in the process.

One expression of interest in community use of this space was received but was not progressed. Pursuant to a decision of the Council on 1 March 2023 the sale of the property has been put on hold for at least 6 months to allow time for the community to refine work on alternative options, including community ownership and operation of part or all of the facility, noting that there has been insufficient time for this to occur in a robust and genuine manner to date.

4.6 Customer Service Requests/Hybris Report

For the Board’s information, attached is a copy of the January 2023 Hybris Report (refer Attachment D).

The report provides an overview of the number of Customer Service Requests that have been received, including the types of requests being received and a breakdown of how they are being reported.

4.7 Graffiti Snapshot

For the Board’s information, attached is a Graffiti Snapshot, an update on graffiti as of January 2023 (refer Attachment E).

4.8 Hornby Community Patrol
