1.1       The Council has received a request from the residents at number 1 Dunmurry Place for the removal of a tulip (street) tree on the berm outside their property.

1.2       This report is in reponse to the request and is assessed under clauses 4.17 to 4.19 of the Council's tree policy.

1.3       The decision in this report is low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  The level of significance was determined by the generally low significance of trees in local areas of interest.

1.4       This report is presented with reference to sections 4.20 to 4.24 of Councils tree policy.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board:

1.         Consider the application to remove the tulip (street) tree outside 1 Dunmurry Place (ID 38074) on the basis of 4.20 (Medical Health), 4.21 (Property Damage) and 4.22 (Nuisance), subject to resource consent if required.

Decline the application to remove on the basis of the information provided to support its removal under sections 4.20 to 4.22 of Councils tree policy.

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       The tree condition, risk profile and its amenity value do not warrant its removal under 4.17 of the tree policy.

3.2       As presented the reasons provided in the application are not sufficiently supported for staff to exercise delegated authority as above and do not meet the permitted activity status in the District Plan. However, the resident has presented a Medical Certificate and Engineer’s Report to support their application, and this could be considered under 4.20 and 4.21 of the tree policy, as well as nuisance factors as outlined in 4.22. This decision may be subject to resource consent approval, if required.

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       General maintenance i.e., remedial site works by the property owner, in combination with tree maintenance by Council. Advantage being the tree is retained for local amenity but the disadvantage would be that the resident making request is not satisfied and has on going health issues potentially related to the tree. This option may not fully resolve the issue raised and may only help in the short term.

4.2       Tree removal. The advantage of this option is that it will address the issues raised by the resident. The disadvantage of this option would be the loss of amenity and canopy cover. Once removed a new tree may not be able to be replaced in situ, due to infrastructure and services in the street environment.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       The tree in question is a medium sized, semi mature Tulip (ID 38074) measuring approx. 10m in height (canopy spread of approx. 9m) and with an overall Condition Rating of Fair (3), with good health and fair form. With the recommended pruning maintenance, this could improve the trees form and hence overall condition rating to good.

5.2       It is located on the berm at 1 Dunmurry Place in the Fendalton/Waimairi/Harewood Ward and is Protected as a Public Realm (Street) tree.  As a protected street tree in fair condition, it is not currently on a programme for removal as part of routine maintenance and renewal programmes. Ref 4.17 & 4.23 of tree policy.

5.3       There are numerous other street tree plantings of similar species/size in the street with a generally established and well-maintained landscape. There appears to be few, if any, other planting opportunities available on the existing street berms.

5.4       Council records show that trees in the street have received maintenance since 2017. This tree has been inspected three times from 2019 to 2023 with maintenance (pruning) recorded in 2017 and 2021. Tree removal requests were received in 2019 and 2021 with a formal application made in 2023. Other requests have been received for footpath maintenance.

5.5       An assessment under clauses 4.1 to 4.5 of the Council Tree Policy determined that the tree is not in a state of irreversible decline, dead and/or structurally unsound; not unhealthy, dead and/or structurally unsound; not causing, or likely to cause, significant damage to buildings, services, or property; not posing an unacceptable safety risk to the public; and not impeding consented legal access.

5.6       The tree has been assessed by a Council employed technician arborist. Other relevant information pertaining to the application i.e., an engineer’s report and medical certificate has been submitted and is attached to this report.  No resource consent has been applied for.

5.7       The arboricultural assessment (May 2021, see copy attached) commented that low level infrastructure (driveway) likely affected by tree roots, but the building (house) not likely affected, and, that remedial root pruning outside of the structural root zone would be possible to mitigate.

5.8       The engineer’s assessment (Jan 2023, see copy attached) commented on the damage to the driveway only and that is likely cause by the tree, and that whilst remedial works were possible, the longer-term solution would be the removal of the tree together with remedial site works.

5.9       As per 4.17 to 4.19 of the tree policy, if it does not meet these criteria, alternative resolutions to removal have been considered e.g. targeted pruning or other maintenance. These attempted remedies have not satisfied the resident’s concerns and they have applied to the Council for the relevant community board to consider removal.

5.10    The resident has applied for the tree to be removed for the following reasons: -

5.11    (Health). Requests for removal of tree(s) will be considered for health reasons where there is confirmation from either the applicant’s medical practitioner, a clinical immunologist, or the medical officer of health confirming that the tree(s) is/are the sole cause of the applicant’s condition, and that removal of the tree(s) is the sole most practicable solution to significantly improving the applicant(s) condition.

5.12    The resident has provided a letter outlining their concerns and a medical certificate (see attachment) to support this as secondary reason.

5.13    4.21 (Damage). Requests for removal of tree(s) that are causing property damage will be considered where the damage is confirmed to be a direct result of the tree and where no alternative measures (including engineering solutions) can be used to mitigate the problem.

5.14    The resident has provided information supporting this in part with the conclusion that whilst remedial site works may be a short-term solution, tree removal would be a more probable longer term one.

5.15    4.22 (Nuisance). Requests for removal of tree(s) due to other issues will only be approved under exceptional circumstances and will be required to meet all the criteria below:

5.16    The issue caused by the tree has a significant effect on the applicant’s day to day living; and

5.17    The tree is the sole cause of the issue; and

5.18    The issue is not able to be mitigated through general maintenance by the property owner e.g., clearing gutters of leaves; and

5.19    No pruning intervention can be undertaken which will mitigate the issue caused by the tree; and

5.20    No reasonable engineering solution can mitigate the issue caused by the tree.

5.21    Whilst the resident hasn’t cited nuisance as a principal reason, their concerns indicate that the tree is having a significant effect on their daily living and a contributory cause to their health and wellbeing. However, there does appear to be alternative options to resolving these.

5.22    When deciding whether to accept an application for tree removal under 4.20-4.22 the relevant board may take into consideration the following: any significant attributes of the tree such as cultural, ecological, historical, social or contributing to the landscape amenity; age and size of the tree; length of time the applicant has resided by the tree and whether it was reasonable for them to have known about the concerns raised prior to them residing there; the useful life expectancy of the tree; whether mitigation pruning to alleviate the issue should be considered sufficient; and any other attributes provided by the tree that are considered important to the local community.

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

5.24    Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood.

6.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1       Transport

6.1.1   Activity: Transport

·     Level of Service: 16.0.13 Respond to customer service requests within appropriate timeframes - >=75% customer service requests are completed, or inspected and programmed within timeframes:

6.2       Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.2.1   Activity: Parks and Foreshore

·     Level of Service: 6.8.2.1 Increasing tree canopy in Parks - A net increase in total number of trees is achieved (1:2 replacement policy), with a minimum of 50% of the trees being medium to very large species. 

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3       The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies. Reference Tree Policy 4.17 to 4.24.

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 will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.6       The report relates to a berm in a small cul-de-sac street which are not near any areas known to be significant to Mana Whenua.  The requested removal is of an exotic tree with no indigenous cultural significance.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.7       A Standard Tree Evaluation (STEM), which includes an element of climate consideration, was not undertaken as part of the assessment due to the size of tree being only medium. However, as a semi mature tree with potential for increase in canopy, by virtue of its potentially larger size, would likely score moderate for its contribution in an urban environment. The STEM provides a basic and broad analysis regarding economic benefits in terms of energy savings, carbon sequestration, and pollutant cycling and rainfall reductions. The loss of the tree would need to be mitigated overtime by the replacement with two new trees in accordance with the Tree Policy.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.8       Dunmurry Place is cul- de-sac street and classified as a low volume, local road. These roads function almost entirely for access purposes and are not intended to act as through routes (for motor vehicles). The tree is situated in the grass berm with no public footpath.

7.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1       Cost to Implement - Approximately $3,000 to cover costs of assessments, tree removal and replacement planting (see 7.5 below).

7.2       Maintenance/Ongoing costs - Approximately $1,000 to cover costs of establishment maintenance (of 2 replacement trees as per policy) and $100 per tree per annum thereafter.

7.3       Funding Source - Trees on Council’s removal and renewal programme are initially CAPEX for tree removal and replacement planting, from Transport Street Tree Capital Budget. Thereafter OPEX for ongoing maintenance from Transport Street Tree Maintenance Budget.

7.4       Part 4.24 of the Tree Policy, states where a tree removal request does not meet the criteria of 4.17 but is approved, the Board may resolve that the applicant(s) pay part/all the costs, including any additional costs associated with reporting, any resource consent costs, actual costs of removal and replacement planting, or the value of the tree provided by its environmental, economic, or social benefits.

Other He mea anō

7.5       The tree is protected, by reason of its height exceeding 6m, and of average condition, therefore it is not currently on a programme for removal as part of operational/capital works street tree renewals.

7.6       If a decision is made by the Community Board to remove the tree and not seek costs from the applicant, and resource consent is granted, then it will be placed on Council’s programme of street tree renewal works and the timing based upon other priorities. Therefore, its removal would be done as part of the wider renewal programme.

8.   Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa

8.1       The tree is in the legal road and listed as a protected (Public Realm) asset.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.2       The legal consideration is the relevant delegated authority, including resource consent, for determining a decision on removal.

9.   Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1       A tree condition assessment was undertaken as part of this report preparation. This concluded in the tree being in fair overall condition, with good health and fair form. NB with the recommended pruning maintenance this could improve its form and hence overall condition rating to good.  Therefore, risk associated with this tree has therefore been determined as Broadly Acceptable.  However, also noted was some disturbance to low level infrastructure (private driveway) and this needs to be resolved with the resident.

3.1       Give Gear Get Great

The Burnside West Christchurch University Cricket Club were very thankful for the great range of cricket gear they recently received from the Give Gear Get Great initiative, which is about    re-purposing used sports equipment out to groups who need it. 

The club has 18 junior teams, some with more than one family member involved.  This equipment will set some of the junior teams up nicely for the 2023/24 cricket season.

This initiative is coordinated by the local Community Recreation Adviser and a donation bin is located in the foyer of the Fendalton Library.

3.2       Villa Maria College Travel Plan

Staff and pupils from Villa Maria College have been working with the Council's Community Travel Advisor, George Booty, to develop a school travel plan.  The purpose of these plans is to improve road safety and encourage the whole school community to use active modes of transport to get to and from school.  It can be used to address congestion at the school gate, and by promoting walking, scootering and cycling, can benefit the health and wellbeing of students.

They undertook an online travel survey to help establish the key travel modes and travel issues for the school.  Congestion and safety issues featured highly as a concern for respondents, particularly around Brodie Street and Yaldhurst Road.  The main safety issues include too many vehicles trying to park, parking over driveways and parents double-parking.

The Travel Plan has now been signed-off by the school Board of Trustees and the Council.  The plan identifies a number of actions to be taken as well as travel safety guidelines for students.

3.3       St Barnabas Community Van - 10 Years on and going strong!

St Barnabas manage, coordinate the use of, and maintain the St Barnabas Community Van. The van was purchased by the Community Board in 2013 with Capital Endowment Funding, to support local groups activities. It has been well utilised over this time and kept in good condition.

There’s only been one hiccup in the ten years it’s been in use, and this was the theft of a key part of the van when thieves were doing the rounds on community vans. The Community Van can be booked through St Barnabas and is free of charge to community groups, only replacing the petrol they use.

The Board continues to make a contribution towards the running cost of the vehicle annually through its funding and the van continues to be well utilised in the community, going out four or five times a week and with thirty groups regularly using it annually.

3.4       Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Liaison Meeting

The Bimonthly Community Liaison Meeting was held this month at the new Bishopdale Community Trust premises. The group fed back on the Funding Hui and Tick for Governance course which some have tried and recommended to others so we will send the link out again. The group discussed the September Mental Health Hui structure that the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Development Advisors will be running and the need for supports within communities for this issue. It is ever present and increasing and groups are finding the formal processes can’t always help.

There will be a bit of a review of the meetings to check in where we are at and groups were invited to think about speakers and workshops or other training opportunities they would collectively, or as an organisation, like or need and Council Advisors will look to provide support for them to undertake this.

Notices, events activities, and trends were shared including an alarming trend in China currently with online suicide support groups, encouraging suicide. Suicide first aid was one topic the group agreed we should investigate further. The next Liaison meeting will be held in August 2023.

3.5       St Christopher's Barn Dance

On Saturday, 6 May, the community of Avonhead came together at St Christopher's for a memorable Barn Dance.

Recognising the challenging economic climate, the organisers kept ticket prices affordable, offering free admission for primary school children accompanied by a paying adult.

Thanks to the combination of generous donations and ticket sales, the organisers were able to extend complimentary tickets to those who otherwise couldn't afford to attend. Additionally, they successfully covered all expenses related to refreshments and the entertainer's fee.

The Barn Dance was an extraordinary accomplishment, filled with infectious joy and laughter. Families revelled in the festivities, with parents and their young children actively engaging on the dance floor. Spanning an impressive age range from 4 to 95 years, the event exemplified inclusivity, as participants joyfully danced with partners of all ages. The dynamic nature of folk dances, with frequent partner changes, fostered a warm and inviting atmosphere, reinforcing a strong sense of community spirit that pervaded the event.

3.6       Bishopdale Community Trust new premises

The Bishopdale Community Trust was established in 1999 as a community-focused organisation advocating for and encouraging connectedness and resilience in the wider Bishopdale area.

Up until April of this year they were based at Sundbye House, 100 Farrington Ave (opposite Bishopdale Village Mall). They have now moved into a purpose-built Community Hub by the church next door (94 Farrington Ave). The new premises are larger and more open than the house was and will enable more activities to take place.

The Community Board put funding towards the move to support the group to better meet community needs and increase activities.

The new hub premises have been received well by participants enjoying the larger, warmer more accessible space and intermingling it provides. Activities available at the Hub are all low cost and include Coffee and friendship, Card making, Scrabble, Women's social walking group, Let's get quizzical!, Rummikub, Knitters, crochet, and crafters group, 500 card group, Explorer trips, social housie, Community lunch, Easy chair yoga, Book and jigsaw library and the Wishing wardrobe with high quality, clean used garments.

3.7       Burnside Community Network

The Burnside Community Network meeting convened at Silhouette Studios on Tuesday, 30 May, with a diverse representation of approximately 35 individuals from community groups, local businesses, agencies and elected members.

The gathering fostered engaging and professional discussions encompassing critical topics, including the draft Purpose of the network, suggestions for improvement, the Hail Communications Platform, updates on the Burnside Community Directory, and considerations for formalising the network.

Steve Jones-Poole, from the Shirley Community Trust, delivered a presentation on community-led development approaches, further enriching the discussion.

Noteworthy outcomes included the recognition for a simplified purpose, the inclusion of Bryndwr in the network, and the exploration of Hail as a communication platform. The subsequent network meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, 1 November 2023.

Everyone should be able to safely walk, scooter, bus, cycle or drive where they want to go. That's why we're making several Ōtautahi Christchurch areas safer for travellers - way safer.  You can provide feedback via the Council's Have Your Say page by clicking here or email your feedback to engagement@ccc.govt.nz

·     Cruising and Prohibited Times on Roads Bylaw – Open for feedback 27 June to 25 July 2023

The Cruising and Prohibited Times on Roads Bylaw was last reviewed in 2014. It sets rules to reduce cruising and to restrict access to some roads in rural and industrial areas where there is a history of antisocial behaviour, such as racing and burnouts. It enables police to take certain actions and complements other powers they have. 

To review the proposed changes and to make a submission, you can visit the Council's Have Your Say page here.

 

·     Draft Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan – Open for feedback 19 June to 23 July 2023

The Council is part of the Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti (Urban Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch). The Komiti has released a draft Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan for public consultation.

This will provide a blueprint for how we will accommodate future population and business growth in our sub-region.

You can find more information and make a submission on the Council's Have Your Say page here.

Karakia Whakamutunga

Unuhia, unuhia

Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui

Kia wātea, kia māmā, te ngākau,

Te tinana te wairua i te ara takatā

Koia rā e Rongo, whakairia ake ki runga

Kia tina! TINA! Hui e! TĀIKI E!

Draw on, draw on,
Draw on the supreme sacredness
To clear, to free the heart, the body and the spirit of mankind
Rongo, suspended high above us (i.e. in ‘heaven’)
Draw together! Affirm!
