Len Lye sculpture in Scott Park alongside the Coastal Pathway Hanno Sander and Tim Lindley spoke on behalf of the Coastal Pathway Group regarding a proposed Len Lye sculpture "Grass" to be located in Scott Park alongside the Coastal Pathway.

Mr Sander advised that the Group is now at the stage of making the pathway a special place; including supporting the placement of three sculptures along the Coastal Pathway. Mr Sander acknowledges that this sculpture is not the one that was suggested for the 2019 approved landscape plan, and given the difference in size, would need to be relocated to where the temporary toilet facility is currently located. The Group is collaborating with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Canterbury University and four students in their final year are building the sculpture.

Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz |
General Manager / Pouwhakarae: |
Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz) |
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the improvements to the existing bus stops on Duncan Street. The two bus stops are number 42755 beside 3 and 5 Duncan Street, and 42622 beside 10 Duncan Street. Please refer to Attachment A for details.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public for Council to consider marking these bus stops to improve accessibility for passengers using this service. Access to the bus stop is often impeded by parked vehicles which means passengers need to board or disembark on the road. The increased height between the bus and the road surface is a particular safety concern for wheelchairs users and those with restricted mobility.
1.3 The bus stops will be marked to the Council’s Construction Standard Specifications to allow sufficient space for the buses to straighten and stop parallel and close to the kerb.
1.4 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 by consideration of the criteria set out in the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
1.5 The recommended option is to mark the two bus stops in their current location in accordance with Attachment A. Staff also consulted on an alternative option to relocate the westbound bus stop further west. This option (Option 2) is included as Attachment B.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board approves:
1. Pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A (Plan TG142046, Issue 1, 31/05/2022):
Bus Stop 42775 beside 3 and 5 Duncan Street
a. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 26 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street, measured from a prolongation of the eastern kerbline, and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 12 metres;
b. That a bus box be installed on the north side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 38 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street, measured from a prolongation of the eastern kerbline, and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres;
c. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the north side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 53 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street, measured from a prolongation of the eastern kerbline, and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of five metres;
Bus Stop 42622 beside 10 Duncan Street
d. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the south side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 79 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of five metres;
e. That a bus box be installed on the south side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 84 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 15 metres; and
f. That the stopping of vehicles is prohibited at all times on the south side of Duncan Street commencing at a point 99 metres east of its intersection with Truro Street and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of seven metres.
2. That any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in 1a to 1f are revoked.
3. That these resolutions take effect when the traffic control devices that evidence the restrictions described in 1a to 1f. are in place (or removed, in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The existing bus stops have signage in place but they do not have any painted markings on the road to indicate where vehicles should or should not park. According to the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004, drivers are permitted to park up to six metres away from either side of a bus stop sign. However, this provision of 12 metres is often insufficient to allow buses to safely manoeuvre in and out of the bus stop and align appropriately with the kerb. As a result, there is a need to provide additional space for buses to pick up and drop off passengers safely and efficiently.
3.2 The planned upgrades to the bus stops will have several benefits, including improved pedestrian accessibility and enhanced safety and operational performance for the buses that service the stops. Currently, there is a high demand for residential parking on Duncan Street which often results in parked vehicles blocking access to the bus stops. These upgrades will help to mitigate this issue by providing designated parking areas for buses and creating clearer signage and road markings to indicate where parking is permitted.
3.3 The location of the bus stops relative to the surrounding area, is indicated in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Existing Duncan Street bus stops 42622 and 42755
3.4 The bus stops are on Route 3 – the Airport and Sheffield Crescent to Sumner route, operated by Red Bus (Ritchies).
3.5 The advantages of the recommended option to mark the bus stops in the existing locations include:
3.5.1 Marking the bus box and the associated No Stopping restrictions will ensure buses are able to pull in safely and stop parallel to the kerb.
3.5.2 Enhanced safety and operational performance of the buses accessing these stops. Twelve metres of No Stopping restrictions (formed by no stopping lines and existing vehicle access on the south side of Duncan Street) are proposed in advance of the bus box and five metres of No Stopping restrictions on the lead-out. This will allow buses to access the existing bus stops more easily and ensure appropriate clearance is provided for manoeuvring.
3.5.3 The proposed markings are consistent with Council’s Construction Standard Specification for the marking of bus stops.
3.6 The disadvantages of this option include:
3.6.1 The removal of four to five existing unrestricted on-street parking spaces which is strongly opposed by adjacent residents.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Option 2: - Relocate the westbound bus stop further west to outside 2 Duncan Street (as per Attachment B)
4.1.1 The advantages of this option include:
· This option has the same operational benefits to Option 1. Compared to the recommended option there are no additional benefits identified.
· Staff proposed this location because there is no direct vehicle access to this property from Duncan Street. However the same concerns about the loss of parking were still raised. This is further discussed in the consultation summary included in Section 5 of this report.
4.1.2 The disadvantages of this options include:
· Results in the same loss of parking as the recommended Option (overall loss of up to 3 parking spaces on the south side of Duncan Street).
· Additional cost to construct the hard stand area and rebuild new kerb (estimated up to $13,500 which includes the installation of a bus stop 150mm Kerb) compared to recommended option;
· Not as centrally located as the recommended Option.
4.2 Option 3 – Do nothing and the existing bus stop infrastructure will remain as is and these Bus Stops will be reviewed again in the future as part of a wider programme to upgrade bus stops to make them more accessible.
4.2.1 The advantages of this option include:
· Retains approximately four to five on-street parking spaces;
4.2.2 The disadvantages of this options include:
· Does not address the existing issue with parked vehicles obstructing access for the buses servicing these stops;
· Inconsistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy which prioritises public road space for the provision of bus stops ahead of residential parking on suburban roads;
· Inconsistent with Council’s Construction Standard Specifications for bus stops;
· Does not improve bus infrastructure to encourage the use of public transport and support mode shift; and
· Additional staff resources and consultation processes will be required when Council staff assess this bus stop in the future.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 There is a high demand for parking on Duncan Street associated with the adjacent residential properties.
5.2 The proposal in this report aligns with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy (2019), which provides a framework to address parking related issues and the management of competing demands for public space within the city’s suburban areas. As indicated in Table 1, Policy one of the Suburban Parking Policy prioritises the provision of bus stops ahead of residents’, short stay and commuter parking.

Initial Consultation - August 2022
5.3 Consultation has been carried out with the affected property owners and residents of Duncan Street properties, ECan and Ritchies (the bus operator for bus Route 3).
5.4 Staff initially consulted on the plan included as Attachment A during the period 1 August 2022 to 18 August 2022. A total of 16 letters were issued to affected property owners and tenants.
5.5 A total of ten submissions were received. Eight were from the community and two were from stakeholder organisations – Environment Canterbury (ECan) and Ritchies. Four submissions were in support, one did not specify and five were opposed to the proposed bus stop marking.
5.6 Of those opposed, three were specifically opposed to the changes to the bus stop on the south side of the road (outside 10 Duncan Street) and two opposed to the changes on the north side of the road outside 5 Duncan Street.
5.7 Those in support included ECan and the bus service operator, Ritchies.
5.8 ECans submission stating: “Fully marking these stops on road to the City Council’s Construction Standard will allow buses to pull in parallel and close to the kerb which improve passenger boarding / de-boarding, upgrades the stops accessibility and allow for better operational performance of the buses.”
5.9 Feedback received from the community through this initial round of consultation included many comments suggesting alternative locations for the bus stops. The proposal was consequently put on hold while these options could be considered. Investigation of alternative locations was undertaken in early 2023.
5.10 Locations put forward by the community and investigated by staff at this time are summarised in Attachment C.
Further Consultation - March 2023
5.11 Following investigation an alternative location was proposed along the frontage of 2 Duncan Street. This is included as Attachment B.
5.12 Staff undertook further consultation in March 2023 on the alternative option to relocate the westbound bus stop further west along the frontage to 2 Duncan Street. Comments received through the original consultation process undertaken in August 2022 were still relevant so residents were advised they were not required to resubmit previous comments.
5.13 A further ten submissions were received from the community through this round of consultation (three were associated with one property). A summary of key points is below.
5.13.1 Three submitters from the adjacent property were strongly opposed to the revised Option 2, largely raising the same concerns about loss of parking outside their property as the residents adjacent to the existing bus stop did.
5.13.2 Two submitters who were opposed to Option 1 through the original consultation indicated their support for Option 2, the revised option.
5.13.3 One submitter who was supportive of the original proposal preferred the existing location due to its more central location and access to Campbell Street.
5.13.4 One resident remained opposed to both options.
5.13.5 One resident remained neutral with no preference for either option. Their main comment was that money should be spent on improving the condition of the road not upgrading the bus stops.
5.13.6 Two submissions related to the bus stop outside 5 Duncan Street, these residents were opposed to the changes largely on the basis of parking being removed. They wanted this bus stop to be relocated.
5.14 A table summarising the key issues raised throughout the consultation process and staff responses to these comments is included as Attachment D.
5.15 After considering various factors staff recommend Option 1, the initial proposal as the preferred bus stop location. This decision is grounded in the fact that Option 1 involves an existing stop in a central location. Although there was opposition to this location, there was also similar opposition and concerns raised when staff consulted on relocating this bus stop.
5.16 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.16.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board
5.16.2 Heathcote Ward

6.7 Accessibility by access to opportunities:
· Improvements to bus stops have a positive impact to the well-being and accessibility of our community through freedom to access opportunities by other means than the private vehicle.
6.8 Accessibility by inclusive design:
· Improvements to the bus stop marking improves the operational performance of the buses that use the bus stop.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 The purpose of this report is to consider an application for a new ground lease by Sydenham Rugby Club for part of Sydenham Park for the purpose of rugby changing rooms.
1.2 The Club have been operating from the site since around 1882. The current lease has expired and a new lease is required. A new lease is proposed on the basis that the Club is a sound organisation with a long standing track record of providing opportunities of a sporting nature.
1.3 The decision in this report is considered low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and the low cost to Council associated with entering into the lease.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Grant a ground lease to Sydenham Rugby Club pursuant to s54 of the Reserves Act 1977, for a lease period of 33 years including renewals for an area of approximately 230sqm being part of RS 41338-CB125/181 as shown on the plan described as Attachment A in this report.
2. Authorises the Manager Property Consultancy to conclude negotiation and administer the terms and conditions of the lease.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The option of not granting a lease has been considered and discounted as the request for a new lease complies with current Council practice and policy in regard to existing sports clubs and community groups. The club is viable and functioning and has invested in the facilities on site.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
The Property
5.1 Sydenham Park is located at 220 Brougham Street. It is held as Reserve pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977
5.2 The Sydenham Rugby Club changing rooms are located on the reserve as shown as A below. The Club is part of the Sydenham Park Complex which has a lease over the pavilion marked on marked B below. The pavilion is subject to a separate lease.
Sydenham Rugby Club Inc
5.3 The Sydenham Rugby Club (SRC) was established in 1882 and with a total of 490 members is one of the largest clubs in the South Island. The building associated with this proposed lease is used as a changing room for club members and teams playing on Sydenham Park. It contains changing rooms, showers and storage space for equipment.
5.4 SRC meets the Council’s requirements as a suitable lessee
· Incorporated society
· Strong membership
· Historical use and investment on the site

· Initial lease term 11 years with two rights of renewal
· Rent and outgoings calculated in accordance with policy for ground lease to sports clubs and community groups-$207.00 plus GST
Consideration of Community Views
5.6 Community engagement involved direct contact with the neighbouring lessees on the park, public notice in the Press on 20 October 2022, delivery of flier to residents nearby and notification in the public notices of the Council website. No responses were received. Staff consider that this is sufficient consideration of community views taking into account the significance of the decision proposed.
5.7 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.7.1 Waihoro –Spreydon -Cashmere –Heathcote Community Board.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

6.2 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
6.2.1 Sports Leases Charging Policy
6.2.2 Leasing Council- dealing unilaterally with incumbent tenant where there is only one logical tenant including non for profit organisations particularly sports clubs on reserves
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.3 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.
6.4 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities
6.5 The proposal was forwarded to Mahaanui Kurataio Ltd for comment on 21 October 2022 and they responded that there were no issues.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.6 The proposal to enter into a new lease does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with leasing itself. In terms of the activities associated with the lease, the club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon footprint associated with travel is low. There are no development plans associated with the activities that involve use of significant resources.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board 13 July 2023 |
|
1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek a Council decision to approve the demolition of the vacant Opawa Children's Library building and associated site remediation, following the outome of an Expression of Interest (EOI) process (refer Attachment A).
1.2 The subject of this report was previously reported to Council via the then Waikura-Linwood Central-Heathcote Community Board. Following the 2022 election the building now resides in the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board area. At its 11 August 2022 meeting Council resolved to approve an EOI process designed to determine whether there was any interest in purchase / relocation / temporary use options for the building from private operators or community organisations (CNCL/2022/00076). This current report is staff generated with the intent of providing the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board with some background to the original report and a summary of the outcomes from the EOI process.
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 the limited number of people affected by the decision given that no substantive or sustainable proposals to purchase and relocate the building were received during the EOI process.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Receive the report and acknowledge the staff summary and outcomes from the EOI process.
Recommend to Council to:
2. Approve the immediate demolition of the building and subsequent remediation of the site to its natural state.
3. Delegate to the Manager Property Consultancy the authority to enter into such contracts and documents as deemed necessary to implement the demolition of the building and remediation of the site.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 There were no substantive proposals to relocate the building arising from the EOI process. There is no allocated LTP funding specifically assigned to the maintenance and repair of the building which will continue to deteriorate if left insitu (having been vacant since 2020). Demolition and removal of the vacant building from the site will remove the ongoing risk (and cost) of vandalism and arson and the increasing risk from flooding and inundation. It will also enable Council to remove itself from land which has no title and over which it has no occupation agreement. Remediating the land will help to enhance the natural river-bank ecology of the site.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Status quo – leave the building insitu and vacant. From a reputational perspective it is not ideal to hold on to a building in a high hazard flood zone where Council rules say we should not have any structures at all. The building will continue to deteriorate, be subject to potential inundation if a significant flood event occurs and prone to vandalism / arson. There are no advantages with this option.
Not a practical or sustainable option.
4.2 Short to medium term hire / occupation – leave the building insitu and subject to short term hire pending demolition. Although the costs required to re-occupy the building would be minimal there is no allocated budget to fund ongoing insurance, maintenance and repair costs and / or potential costs arising from inundation. The building is also in a vulnerable flood-prone location which technically should not be occupied.
Continuing procrastination / inertia regarding the building is not recommended.
4.3 Revisit Ferrymead Trust’s interest – relocating the building to the Ferrymead Heritage Village would represent a good ‘fit’ from a heritage perspective. However, given the Ferrymead Trust’s current financial position, this option could only be achieved at a significant cost to Council.
Not recommended from a financial perspective.
4.4 Revisit Riverlution Tiny House Village’s (RTHV) interest – use of the building associated with a proposed RTHV eco-village on residential red zone edge housing land would potentially represent a good fit. However, the processes and timeframe required to create some certainty around this option (referred to in paragraphs 5.15 to 5.17 ) is largely unknown at this stage.
Not recommended. No certainty of outcome; building remains prone to vandalism / arson for an indeterminate timeframe.
4.5 Re-issue the EOI – the current EOI was well distributed across various mediums without any tangible, sustainable, interest from private operators or community groups. Re-issuing the EOI would incur further staff time and costs without any certainty of a positive outcome.
Not recommended.
4.6 Relocate and store the building on a CCC site – in addition to the costs to remove the building, remediate the existing site and relocate the building to an alternative CCC owned site (if one could be identified) the building would remain vacant and subject to deterioration, vandalism and arson for an indeterminate period of time. If the building were then to be relocated to another site for a future (currently unspecified) use Council would incur additional relocation, holding, commissioning and set up costs.
Not recommended.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Future Use
5.1 The single storey Opawa Children’s Library building was originally the social hall on the upper storey of the New Brighton Fire Station from c1930 to 1965 and was relocated to the banks of the Heathcote River in 1965.
5.2 The building has been closed since 2020 and is no longer required for operational purposes by the asset owner, Community Support and Partnerships.
5.3 The building is situated in a ‘hydro parcel’ between legal road and the Heathcote River. As such the land has no title and no occupation agreement exists. It is located in a High Flood Hazard Management Area, susceptible to coastal inundation and within the orange tsunami evacuation zone.
5.4 With a view to determining its future use the Council resolved at its meeting on 11 August 2022 as follows:
5.5 In context the Community Board’s preference was, where possible, to identify a community group prepared, and financially able, to relocate, recommission and operate the building.
5.6 Short to medium use of the building (pending relocation or demolition) is an option but would involve further administrative, management and maintenance costs for Council on a building which needs to be removed from its high flood zone location.
Expression of Interest
5.7 An Expression of Interest (EOI) process was open for applications from 15 September 2022 until 29 November 2022. The EOI was advertised on GETS, in the local press and on Council’s website and circulated to the Council’s governance, funding and heritage teams.
5.8 In broad terms Private Operators and Community Organisations were required to:
· decommission and remove the building from the site;
· remediate the site;
· establish the building on a new site (leased or owned by the applicant);
· provide evidence of the financial capability and resources, and;
· in the case of Community Organisations, provide details of the proposed community use for the building – all at no cost to Council.
5.9 A Council contribution of $40,000 was available to prospective respondents, being the estimated equivalent cost to Council of demolishing the building and remediating the site.
Expression of Interest - Outcomes
Applications from Private Operators or Community Groups
5.10 Only one completed, formal, EOI application was received by the closing date for submissions. Three other informal enquiries were received and followed up by staff.
Formal EOI Application
5.11 Private individual (name not to be disclosed): the respondent proposed to relocate the building for private residential use. However, after undertaking due diligence the proposal was withdrawn on 29 March 2022. The reasoning cited the significant costs required to decommission, relocate and re-establish the building and services on a new site together with the associated consenting and compliance costs and the cost to remediate the existing site.
Informal EOI Enquiries
5.12 Immediately prior to the closing date for applications staff received two other informal enquiries from two community- based organisations.
5.13 Ferrymead Trust: contemplated the use of the building within the Ferrymead Heritage Park. The Trust were granted an extension until 31 January 2023 to submit a completed EOI. This was not forthcoming.
5.14 Based on the discussions with, and general feedback provided by, the Trust before and after 31 January, staff advised the Trust on 1 March that it would be recommending to the Board not to proceed with the Trust’s informal interest for the following reasons:
· Ferrymead Trust has insufficient existing funds to facilitate this opportunity in this current economic climate.
· Staff are of the opinion that the minimum requirements under Option 1 of the EOI cannot be met by Ferrymead Trust given their current financial position.
· The Trust are not in a position to consider the proposal further without significant Council investment and undertakings regarding consenting and engineering requirements and costs associated with the relocation of the building.
· Ferrymead Trust has confirmed that it does not have spare funds and have indicated that it is not prepared to divert funds in a hasty speculative course of action which could come to nothing.
5.15 Riverlution Tiny House Village (RTHV): contemplated the use of the building as a community building associated with the proposed Riverlution eco-village on residential red zoned land in Richmond.
5.16 Following further correspondence and consideration RTHV withdrew their interest on 7 March 2023 confirming that “our RTHV team have considered the opportunity to apply, but decided that we don’t have enough certainty of a future lease to go forward with an application and the risk of taking on a building. We’re still in the situation that RTHV have a licence for investigative works for a Richmond RRZ edge housing site, and we can’t apply for a lease for this site (which will be a significant process) until we’ve completed more due diligence and until LINZ complete handover for this RRZ tranche and CCC have co-governance lease application model in place. It’s unlikely all these factors will come together for at least another 6+ months”.
5.17 It is noted that the edge housing superlot has now been transferred to Council and a co-governance is in place. However, a framework for agreeing how third-party proposals (including housing) will be assessed is still being worked through together with the terms and conditions associated with that process. A decision to deal unilaterally with RTHV would then be required which would likely be associated with a lengthy LGA consultation and Council approvals process. Aligned to this RTHV would need to undertake its own due diligence and demonstrate a financially sustainable business case. This process could take in excess of 6 months to complete.
Post EOI Proposal
5.18 Staff worked extensively with a private individual who, after expressing interest during the EOI timeframe, then presented a formal proposal on 14 June 2023 to relocate the building.
EOI Enquiries for Short Term Use
5.20 Although we received a number of general enquiries regarding temporary short to medium use of the building no detailed EOI applications were received.
5.21 The enquiries included use for the display of artworks, storage hire and art classes/workshops.
5.22 These were not pursued in any detail pending the outcome of the EOI and potential building relocation options from private or community-based operators.
Proposed Next Steps
5.23 In the absence of any substantive proposals to purchase and relocate the building staff propose to initiate a process to demolish the building and remediate the site in line with the general intent of the prior Council resolution referred to in paragraph 5.4.
Community Views and Preferences
5.24 As outlined in the initial report to the previous Board the building has been vacant for several years, is situated in an undefined land parcel and occupies a high hazard prone riverside location which is likely to become increasingly subject to climate change vulnerability at greater cost to Council and the ratepayer.
5.25 In this context, and given that we have received no substantive or sustainable interest in relocating the building, the demolition of the building is arguably the only financially prudent and practical option.
5.26 Although the views and preferences of the community have not been directly considered the response (or lack of it) to the EOI process has been informative. Prior to the EOI being released details of the building were circulated to all Heads of Service (and disseminated to their respective teams) and also to the Community Governance Managers representing the various community boards city-wide.
5.27 The decision affects the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board area.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 Demolition of the building is in keeping with the Council’s financial strategy of maintaining a policy of financial prudence through managing assets.
6.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
6.3 Communities and Citizens
6.3.1 Activity: Community Development and Facilities

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.4 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies regarding the disposal / demolition of the building following public tender in the open market.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.5 Previous advice from the Senior Advisor Treaty Relationships confirmed that the decision (to remove the building) 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 not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
6.6 However, the library setting is of archaeological significance for its location on the banks of the Heathcote River, a place of early Ngai Tahu activity, an important food gathering place and part of the interconnected network of travel routes that crossed the widespread wetland system of greater Christchurch.
6.7 As such the removal of the building and restoration of the river-bank will return the land to its original natural state.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.8 The removal of the building and concrete access path and footings will help to replenish and preserve the natural ecology of the site and reduce the Council’s carbon footprint.
6.9 In terms of responding positively to climate change vulnerability its removal will take away a potential impediment in the event of flooding and therefore improve the rivers capacity and ability to deal with future flood events.
6.10 The vacant building has recently been the subject of several break-in attempts. Its removal will remove the potential risk of further unsocial behaviours, vandalism and / or arson.

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 A Council resolution to revoke the reserve status of part of the land in Record of Title CB10K/630 is required to forward to the Minister of Conservation for publication in the New Zealand Gazette.
1.2 Registrar General of Land has advised that the privately owned land in Record of Title CB10K/630 mistakenly includes a parcel of land (Lot 4 DP 28940) which is legally vested in Council. The owner of the adjoining fee simple land is under the impression they own it, have been maintaining it and paying rates on it.
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 by considering if Lot 4 DP 28940 is required for the road network and the impact on the road network if it was transferred to the adjoining owner.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
Noting that:
a. On the basis that Lot 4 DP 28940 is no longer required for road reserve purposes and Hazeldean Road is fully formed and
b. the site is occupied by the adjoining owner and

a. The commencement of the revocation of reserve process under Section 24.1(b) of the Reserves Act 1977 to revoke the reserve classification over Lot 4 DP 28940 subject to:
i. Public Notification as described by Section 119 of the Reserves Act 1977 (and no sustainable objections being received) and;

3.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Lot 4 DP 28940 is not required for road and there is no foreseeable requirement for it to be retained for future road.
3.2 The land has been occupied by successive adjoining owners who have paid rates on it. This along with the other circumstances outlined in this report give rise to this correcting transaction occurring with no costs or transaction value for either party.
3.3 It is necessary to revoke the reserve status before it can be transferred to the adjoining owner.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Do nothing
4.1.1 Advantages
· Council retain ownership.
4.1.2 Disadvantages
· Does not resolve the ownerships issues.
· The adjoining owner may request a refund of rates paid on land they do not own.
· The land would remain as road reserve with Council being responsible of its ongoing maintenance.
· Is inconsistent with how similar properties have been dealt with in Hazeldean Road.
4.2 Form the land as road
4.2.1 Advantages
· As the land is not required for road there are no known advantages.
4.2.2 Disadvantages
· The land is not required for road.
· There are costs to physically form the road.
· The adjoining owner will need to be advised they can no longer occupy the land.
· The adjoining owner will object to this happening.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 In 1970 a larger parcel of land on Hazeldean Road comprising 2066m² was subdivided into four new parcels. Two of these parcels (now) Lots 3 and 4 DP 28940 vested in the Christchurch City Council as Local Purpose (Road) Reserve.
5.2 These parcels would have been created for future widening of Hazeldean Road. However Hazeldean road was never widened and by the mid 1990’s it became apparent widening was no longer required.
5.3 This is evidenced by the revoking of the reserve status for the adjoining Lot 3 DP 28940 in 1997 and its subsequent transfer to its adjoining owner.
5.4 For unknown reasons Lot 4 was not included in this reserve revocation process, it remains vested in the Council.
5.5 When Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) converted the Record of Title (Attached) for 106 Hazeldean Road from paper format to a digital format in 2002, they omitted to show Lot 4 had vested in the Christchurch City Council as Local Purpose (Road) Reserve.
5.6 This resulted in the appearance that the owner of 106 Hazeldean Road owned the land in its entirety, right out to the edge of the formed road. It is therefore understandable that this owner is of the belief they own and could occupy of Lot 4 DP 28940.
5.7 This ownership belief is further supported by the fact that Council were unaware Lot 4 DP 28940 is a local purpose (road) reserve.
5.8 Council data bases do not show the separation of Lot 4 from the original land parcel. It is zoned Industrial General and it has been included within 106 Hazeldean Road as a rateable area as illustrated below.
5.9 In December 2022 Land Information New Zealand (LINZ) approached Council advising that they consider the Record of Title for 106 Hazeldean Road should be amended to exclude Lot 4, the solicitor for the owner of 106 Hazeldean Road on behalf of their client has strenuously opposed this proposal.
5.10 Council were unaware it had ownership of Lot 4 until approached by LINZ. Council have no plans to form Lot 4 as road and are now seeking to complete a reserve revocation process and transfer the land to the adjoining owner.
5.11 It
is used by the occupiers of 106 Hazeldean Road for client parking and signage
5.12 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.12.1 Waihoro Spreydon Cashmere Heathcote – Spreydon Ward
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 Consideration was given to the Council’s Strategic Priorities in formulating these recommendations, however the nature of this work is to rectify an unwanted situation rather than actively contributing to these strategies.
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 has no impact on the Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.4 The decision is not 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 decisions in this report do not impact on Mana Whenua. The City plan does not identify the land as having any Natural or Cultural Heritage overlays.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.7 There are no climate change considerations, the current use of the land will continue.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.8 The minimum width for footpaths in an Industrial area is 1.5m, the footpath width in this area is in excess of 2.0m and will remain so.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement – Nil. This situation has arisen from an error made by Land Information NZ, the Registrar General of Land has agreed to meet all of Councils costs in relation to this matter
7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - Nil
7.3 Funding Source – N/A
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977.
Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 The legal consideration is how to address the ownership issues surrounding Lot 4 DP 28940 as detailed earlier in this report.
8.3 In discussion with the Councils Legal Services Unit and the Registrar General of Land an agreement for sale and purchase has been prepared and signed that if the recommendations in this report and adopted and completed will result in the ownership of the land reflecting its day to day occupation.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 Risk Management Implications for the decisions being asked are insignificant. There is no measurable disruption to services and the process to reach the desired outcome does not require management involvement.
9.2 However because there is a statutory Reserves Act 1977 process to follow, there is a small risk public consultation will result in objections. If that is the case the recommendations in this report require the Community Board to consider any such objections and forward their decision to the Minister of Conservation.
