The proposed road closures are to enable separation between road users and competitors/spectators, on the Christchurch Marathon’s proposed course, to enable the safety of competitors.

1.3 The event organisers have indicated that they have undertaken direct notifications to impacted parties, which is required as part of the road closure application process. The event organisers will provide a record of any feedback received, from impacted parties, to the Subcommittee in advance of the scheduled meeting or alternatively the organisers may present the information in person to the Subcommittee.

1.4 Public notification was carried out through publication in The Press and on the Council website. The period of time allowing for objections to be received exceeding the minimum required time period of one week. The application was publicly advertised in The Press on 3 March 2023 with objections closing 13 March 2023.

1.5 There were no formal objections received by Council, as a result of the public notifications process.

1.6 Road closures for this event have previously been approved by the Road Closure Subcommittee at this location, with no unexpected impacts regarding traffic movements, reported in the area. Staff note that previous Marathons in this area had a much greater impact due to the course previously extending from Deans Avenue, in the West, to Anzac Drive in the East. When the previous events were held there were minimal points at which road users could cross the course and impacts were on a whole of city scale. With the revised course there is now less of an impact on the city, as the event now only impacts an area between Deans Avenue and Fitzgerald Avenue (Both unimpacted). The Event organisers have provided a traffic impact assessment that indicates that when closing the two North / South one way system pairs across the CBD (Montreal / Durham and Madras Barbadoes) there is sufficient capacity on Deans Avenue and Fitzgerald Avenue to cater for the expected demand on a Sunday. The new course is made up of four laps of a ~10km loop with the base of the event operations centred within Hagley Park. Due to operations being centred within Hagley Park and not on road, it allows for a quick opening of traffic lanes at 1:30pm, unlike previous events where the base of operations occupied road space on Kilmore Street.

1.7 A Travel Demand Management plan is incorporated as part of the Traffic Management Plan to reroute road users away from pinch points and provide clear guidance on what routes to take to ensure that the Marathon does not cause undue delays or impacts from a whole of city perspective.

1.8 Staff support the proposed temporary road closures and believe that it will not unreasonably impact traffic.
