3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 On 14 December 2016 the scheme design for Major Cycle Route Northern Line project was approved for detailed design and construction by the Major Cycleway Routes Committee. It recommended that the detailed design traffic resolutions be brought back to the appropriate Committee at the end of detailed design prior to beginning of construction. This delegation now lies with the Council.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 There are no alternative options considered for this report as the scheme design has been approved previously. The option of not passing the resolutions would mean the changes could not be enforced after construction of the cycle route creating a safety risk for users.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Traffic Resolutions
5.1.1 The Major Cycleway Route Northern Line scheme was approved on the 16 December 2016. The report presented at that meeting detailed the community views and preferences of the engagement process that took place in 2016.
5.1.2 As the detailed design has had no fundamental changes to the approved scheme design, the community views and preferences remain the same and no further consultation was carried out. This project has a significant interface with KiwiRail infrastructure and there has been a prolonged period from Scheme approval to commencement of construction as a result of this. KiwiRail’s industry wide shortage of skilled resources has resulted in significant delays to both signal and civil works designs and reviews. Since the beginning of 2022, progress has improved and has resulted in approved drawings, approved licenses, successful implementation of CCC works in KiwiRail land and the implementation of an Over-arching Funding Agreement between CCC and KiwiRail.

Coastal Hazards Working Group
Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning
3.1 The Coastal Hazards Working Group (CHWG) was established in the previous triennium as part of the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning (CHAP) programme. The CHAP programme will work with affected communities and rūnanga to plan for coastal hazard impacts over the next 100 years.
3.2 The CHWG was tied to the previous triennium and ended at the conclusion of the term.
3.3 In April 2022, Council approved the final Coastal Adaptation Framework. The Framework sets out the Council’s proposed approach to adaptation planning including roles and responsibilities, policy principles and the engagement and decision-making process.
3.4 In late 2022, Council began pilot adaptation planning in the Lyttelton Harbour–Whakaraupō and Port Levy–Koukourarata Adaptation Area. Draft adaptation pathways for this Area are expected to be submitted for Council decision in early 2024, with planning expected to scale up following an analysis of lessons learned through this pilot process.
3.5 Following this pilot, there are subsequent tranches of planning expected to occur in other Adaptation Areas.
Coastal Hazards Plan Change
3.6 The proposed Coastal Hazards Plan Change (PC11) is required to give effect to national direction for coastal hazards and provides the framework for risks and exposure to be managed in advance of adaptation planning.
3.7 In October 2021 Council consulted on an Issues and Options paper which set out four possible approaches to managing new development in at-risk areas. Staff recommended the risk-based approach, which was subsequently endorsed by the previous CHWG following community feedback.
3.8 Significant technical work has been underway to refine and test the data (which is drawn from the Coastal Hazards Assessment) to inform the draft plan change, consulted on in April – May 2021.
3.9 It is anticipated that the plan change will be notified, alongside updated flood management areas, in the second quarter of 2023.
Role of the Coastal Hazards Working Group
3.10 The long-term nature and impact of both CHAP and PC11 require significant engagement and consultation to ensure community understanding and involvement in their implementation.
3.11 During the development and implementation of these work programmes, CHWG will review the implementation, research and advice informing these work programmes to provide Council staff with feedback and advice that ensures the views of the community are well represented.
3.12 Following the completion of the pilot Adaptation Area and PC11 processes, CHWG will help review the pilot programme to help inform future Adaptation Pathways. CHWG will also help inform the identification of future Adaptation Areas and the development of adaptation plans for those areas on an ongoing basis.
3.13 In light of the changing regulatory environment around climate adaptation planning, CHWG may also provide advice and feedback in relation to climate adaptation planning where asked. This may lead to a future change of the terms of reference (Attachment B) of CHWG to better align with regulatory changes.
3.14 Membership of CHWG is proposed based on wards most directly affected by coastal hazards, namely those along the coast and those which represent the most significant amount of the Heathcote and Avon Rivers.
Function of the Coastal Hazards Working Group
3.15 The Mayor exercised his power under Section 41A of the Local Government Act 2002 to establish this working group and appoint the chair, deputy chair and members to the working group.
3.16 CHWG will meet as required, likely once every eight weeks, to receive updates on the:
3.16.1 Coastal Hazards Adaptation Programme;
3.16.2 Coastal Hazards Plan Change; and
3.16.3 Any other climate adaptation decisions expected to come to Council.
3.17 CHWG will provide advice and feedback to Council staff to inform recommendations to Council.
3.18 CHWG will not have delegated decision-making authority, but can provide advice and recommendations to Council on decisions related to the work programmes in paragraph 3.14.
3.19 CHWG may decide to invite papatipu rūnanga or other local groups to attend their meetings and provide input into the advice that CHWG gives Council in accordance with the terms of reference (Attachment B).
3.20 CHWG will be chaired by the Council’s Climate Change portfolio holder.
Elected Member Appointments
3.21 The Mayor, in consultation with the Deputy Mayor and Councillor Moore, has agreed to appoint Halswell Ward Community Board member Marie Pollisco as the Council’s representative on the Selwyn-Waihora Water Zone Committee in place of Councillor Moore. Ms Pollisco represents a ward near the zone and brings a strong planning background to the role.
3.22 The Mayor, in consultation with the Deputy Mayor and Councillor Moore, has agreed to appoint Councillor Keown to the Health, Safety & Wellbeing Committee in place of Councillor Moore. Councillor Keown brings experience in the employment and management of staff in private enterprise, including meeting health and safety requirements. This will also improve the spread of appointments more evenly across elected members.
