1.1 For Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board to approve the landscape development plan for Takamatua Domain.
1.2 Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board was informed via an information report on 13 February 2023 on the proposed landscape development plan for Takamatua Domain.
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 based on the local nature of the project, low actual impacts with acceptable developments for works on an archaeological site, and broader ecological, public, and cultural benefits.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

4.2.1 Advantage – Less cost and perceived disturbance to neighbours.
4.2.2 Disadvantage – The Takamatua Ratepayer Association’s vision for the Domain is not realised.

It includes a blockhouse being built on the site in the 1840s by the French Navy as a mini-fortress and place of refuge for the European settlers. It was one of three in the Akaroa area, with two others being in what is Akaroa township today. All were removed in the 1860s or thereabouts. In the case of the Akaroa two, all remnants above and below ground have been destroyed with the town development. The Takamatua site, however, has never been developed and below-surface remnants of the blockhouse, and any other archaeological and cultural heritage artifacts, remain. Underground geophysical imaging has indicated the probable remaining impression of the defensive trench that would have surrounded the blockhouse.
5.5 The Takamatua Ratepayers Association initiated a proposal for the landscaping and beautification of the Domain by way of a proposed development concept and costing. This generated the need for an archaeological authority to be obtained from Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT) to enable earthworks to be undertaken but only with full protection of archaeological and cultural heritage.
5.6 Engagement with Ōnuku Rūnanga has been undertaken through Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd (“MKT”). A Cultural Values Statement for Takamatua Domain was initially provided by Ōnuku Rūnanga. This has been updated with a Statement of Cultural Values. Both these have informed the archaeological authority application to HNZPT. The authority (reference - 2022/554: N36/224) granted gives the Council the authority to undertake specified low impact earthworks on Takamatua Domain. The authority is valid for five years, expiring 30 April 2027.
5.7 Council staff worked in partnership with the Takamatua Ratepayers Association to prepare and finalise a draft landscape development plan for the proposed improvements, with development costs to be shared by the Council and the Association.
Proposed development
5.8 The draft plan incorporates proposed development on Takamatua Domain consistent with the archaeological authority.
5.9 Figure 3: Draft landscape plan (Attachment A)
5.10 Figure 4: Boardwalk plans (Attachment B)
Implementation
5.11 The excavation for the piles for the boardwalk and its construction will be contracted out.
5.12 Selected works, such as the proposed plantings (see Attachment C for a list of potential plants to be selected from), will be complemented with volunteer work contributed by members of the Takamatua Ratepayers Association, assisted and monitored by Parks Unit operational staff.
5.13 Funding for the work will be shared by both the Parks Unit and the Takamatua Ratepayers Association.
5.14 It is anticipated that work could commence early in 2024.
5.15 Prior to any work on site starting, advance notice will be given to Ōnuku Rūnanga, Heritage New Zealand and the archaeologist and cultural advisor engaged to advise on and initially monitor the works. This will probably involve a one-off site visit.
6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
6.1 Early engagement with the Takamatua Ratepayers Association started when the Association supplied a proposed development concept.
6.2 Following revision of the draft landscape development plan by staff, the granting of the archaeological authority, and the provision of a new cultural values statement by Mahaanui Kurataiao Limited on behalf of Ōnuku Rūnanga in 2022, stakeholder meetings with the Takamatua Ratepayers Association resumed in early 2023 to finalise the draft plan for public consultation. Their feedback influenced the inclusion of boundary bollards in the west and east ends of the Domain, as well as unfunded or partially funded items (tables and seats, interpretation panels, display rocks and paths extensions to the road edges). It also led to the inclusion of a proposed planting list.
6.3 Consultation started on 29 June and ran until 23 July 2023. An email was sent to 50 key stakeholders, including community organisations and reserve management committees in adjacent bays and Akaroa, the French consulate, Akaroa Museum, Akaroa Civic Trust, and organisations with a focus on history and heritage. The consultation was publicised in a Newsline story and posted on the Council Facebook page, inviting submissions on the Have Your Say webpage.
6.4 Consultation documents were delivered to residents and ratepayers that own property in the immediate vicinity of the Domain on 29 June. Documents were available in the local service centre and the Akaroa Library.
Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga
6.5 Submissions were made by one recognised organisation (Akaroa Civic Trust) and 13 individuals. All but one individual submission were from Takamatua residents or ratepayers.
6.6 A full table of submission feedback is available in Attachment D.
6.7 The majority of submitters (10, 71%) supported the draft landscape development plan for reasons including it being for a great community asset and public space for enjoyment (3), recognising heritage and history (2), and the collaboration with the Takamatua Ratepayers Association and Ōnuku Rūnanga (2). Five submitters were fully supportive, while five expressed their general support subject to consideration of several issues.
6.8 The following issues were raised across submitters:
· Using low plants to ensure neighbouring properties retain their view and sunlight (9)
· Providing and managing visitor parking on Takamatua Beach Road (4)
· Regularly maintaining Takamatua Domain (4), including of drainage to manage excess water (2)
· Ensuring privacy and security of adjacent properties (2)
6.9 A minority of submitters (4, 29%) did not support the landscape development for the following reasons:
· Increased public activity, traffic, and parking (3)
· Low use of the Domain (3)
· Cost of the works (2)
Two submitters asked for minimal improvements only, like a picnic table and interpretation signage.
6.10.1 The implementation of the draft plan allows for plantings to be kept low, with smaller shrubs and/or trees used in appropriate locations in consideration of neighbours and park users (for example, adjacent to a shed on a neighbouring property), balancing the retention of views and privacy. Park Rangers can work with the Takamatua Ratepayers Association, neighbours, and the community on implementing suitable plantings.
6.10.2 Visitor parking can be monitored, and if issues arise, those can be considered by the Council’s Transport team.
6.10.3 Takamatua Domain is currently on the park maintenance schedule, which will continue to be undertaken as required.
6.11 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
6.11.1 Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board.
7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro
7.1 The decision aligns to the Council’s strategic framework by contributing to the Strategic Priority to build trust and confidence in the Council through meaningful communication, listening to and working with residents.
7.2 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):
7.3 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment
7.3.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore
· Level of Service: 6.8.5 Satisfaction with the overall availability of recreation facilities within the city's parks and foreshore network. - Resident satisfaction with the availability of recreation facilities across the parks and foreshore network: >= 70%.
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
7.4 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
7.5 The decision involves 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.
7.6 A Cultural Values Statement prepared on 24 November 2017 by Ōnuku Rūnanga documents the cultural effects on mana whenua of the proposed landscaping and beautification at Takamatua Domain. This highlighted that excavations associated with the proposed works in the Domain were of concern to mana whenua because they were to be carried out in an area of cultural significance identified as Silent File 27 and may disturb Māori archaeological sites.
7.7 On 28 February 2022, a Statement of Ngāi Tarewa me Ngāti Irakehu cultural values in relation to Takamatua Domain was provided by Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd on behalf of Ōnuku Rūnanga. It highlighted that the area, and by extension the wider area, is of immense cultural importance and significance to the mana whenua of Ngāi Tarewa/Ngāti Irakehu and Ngāi Tahu (Ngāi Tahu Whānui being the descendants of Waitaha, Ngāti Mamoe and Ngāi Tahu). In general, the area was noted as being of archaeological significance related to Māori occupation and activity dating back to early periods of ancestral Māori occupation within the Ōnuku/Akaroa catchment.
7.8 Recommended mitigation measures and protocols to protect these identified cultural values were included as conditions of the Archaeological Authority 2022/554 for the proposed works on Takamatua Domain granted by Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga (HNZPT). In summary, these conditions include:
· All contractors and workers to have an archaeological briefing before the start of any earthworks.
· HNZPT to be notified at least two days before the start of earthworks, then notified within five days of the completion of works.
· All earthworks that may affect archaeology to be monitored and all archaeology investigated.
· Ōnuku Rūnanga to be notified 48 hours before the start of works and have access to the site for tikanga purposes.
7.9 The decision involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.
7.10 Any potential impact will be mitigated through application of the measures stated in the archaeological authority from HNZPT.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
7.12 This is because of the small scale of the proposed developments over a park area that is only 2,807 square metres. However, there will be measures taken that will contribute, in a confined and very local context, positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change with the planting of appropriate native shrubs and trees, as well as providing recreational facilities (path, boardwalk, and seating) that are designed to cope with future sea level rise.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
7.13 The proposed development of Takamatua Domain will allow public access to an area that is currently inaccessible.
8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere
8.1 Cost to Implement – A pre-tender estimate of cost for the proposed Takamatua Domain developments is $60,000, with the largest proportion of this being for the boardwalk. The boardwalk construction is yet to be tendered. A quotation will be sought from the tenderer upon approval of the landscape development plan.
8.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - This will mainly be for weed spraying and grass mowing. Takamatua Domain is currently on the regular park maintenance round and will continue to be undertaken on this basis as required.
Funding Source - Council capex funding from capital project budget #61803 Community Parks Development of New Assets - $40,000.
Other He mea anō
8.3 The Takamatua Ratepayers Association will contribute $20,000 in funds towards the material costs for the proposed developments.
8.4 The Association will also gift time towards some of the works, including planting, site excavation and shaping, and fence bollard installation.
9. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
9.1 Community Boards have the delegation to approve and adopt any new landscape development plans for parks and reserves provided the design is within the policy and budget set by the Council. The Delegations Register, Part D – Sub Part 1
Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
9.2 There is no legal context, issue or implication relevant to this decision.
10. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
10.1 Due to its location on Takamatua Domain and the low height (0.45m) above the ground of the boardwalk, and the minimum impact scale of the other proposed works, neither building nor resource consent are required to be obtained. However, the conditions of Global Consent CRC173830 apply for the proposed site excavation and shaping.
10.2 Any potential risk to the environmental, cultural, and archaeological values of Takamatua Domain will be managed appropriately by meeting the requirements of the archaeological authority and cultural values statement.

1.1 This report provides a recommend name change from Rapaki Bay Drain to Ōmaru (Stream)
1.2 This report has been prepared following a request by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke
1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. However, the name change is important to mana whenua.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board recommend to the Council:
1. To accept the name change recommendation and that the name in the Council database is changed from Rapaki Bay Drain to Ōmaru.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 It was drawn to the writer’s attention by the General Manager, Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke that the major hillside stream in Rapaki is mis-named in council communications. The stream, which runs through the marae, is known to the council as Rapaki Bay Drain.
3.2 The stream is known to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke as Ōmaru.
3.3 Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke General Manager comments, “according to our sources the stream is most likely named after Marukaitātea, a brother of Makō who married Te Rakiwhakaputa’s eldest daughter Te Ropuake.” Ōmaru means the place of Maru.
3.4 The inception of “Rapaki Bay Drain” is unknown, but like many waterways within Christchurch it may have acquired a name of convenience on a Banks Peninsula District Council maintenance schedule.
3.5 There is no sufficient reason to retain the name by which the stream is known to the Council and reversion to the original name is recommended.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Retention of the current local authority-derived name.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Community views have not been sought. This is because the name change is principally a matter of importance to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke.
5.2 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.4 The decision involves 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 involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga
6.6 The decision involves an element of rangatiratanga within the takiwā.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.7 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.
6.8 The decision does not involve the creation or removal of greenhouse gases.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.9 Not relevant
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

3. Key Points Ngā Take Matua
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
3.1 The recommendation is strongly aligned to the Strategic Framework and in particular the strategic priority of Strengthening Communities.

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira
3.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.4 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.
3.5 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.
Discussion Kōrerorero
3.6 At its meeting on 7 August 2023, Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board resolved to allocate $3,000 from its 2023-24 Discretionary Response Fund towards Summer with your Neighbours 2023-24.
3.7 Summer with your Neighbours is about bringing people closer together and celebrating the unique and diverse mix of each neighbourhood. It invites residents to consider if they have ever wanted to organise a neighbourhood gathering, or to get to know the people who live close to them. This popular event has grown from year to year and is promoted by the Council.
3.8 Local community groups, including Residents' Associations and Neighbourhood Support groups, have been sent information inviting them to apply for the Summer with your Neighbours funding. Staff also promoted the fund through social media and other networks.
3.9 Summer with your Neighbours will run from 21 October 2023 to 31 March 2024. Applications for funding opened on 13 July 2023 and closed on 11 August 2023.
3.10 By the closing date, 17 eligible applications had been received. Staff have assessed the applications to ensure that they met the Summer with your Neighbours guidelines.
3.11 To create consistency in staff recommendations across the city, staff recommendations are based on a formula and each event will receive the total amount requested up to a maximum of $300, whichever is less.

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
This report provides the Board with an overview on initiatives and issues current within the Community Board area.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board:
1. Receive Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board Area Report for September 2023.
3. Community Support, Governance and Partnership Activity
3.1 Community Funding Summary
3.1.1 Community Board Strengthening Communities Fund (SCF) 2023/24 – This is the Board's annual funding round for projects and associated costs for the year starting 1 September each year.
· At its 7 August 2023 meeting, the Board approved funding to 20 groups for projects across Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula. Five applications received multi-year funding. (There were no pre-committed funds).
· The total approved funding was $181,369 from a budget of $199,233 for the year. The remaining funds are available for allocation through the Board’s 2023/24 Discretionary Response Fund.
· In addition to the SCF allocations, at the 7 August meeting, the Board allocated a total of $7,000 towards three Board projects – Summer with your Neighbours ($3,000), Community Service Awards ($3,000) and ANZAC Wreaths ($1,000).
3.1.2 Community Board Discretionary Response Fund (DRF) 2023/24 – At its July 2023 meeting, the Board allocated $2,413 to Lyttelton Community House Trust towards a replacement oven.
3.2 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making
3.2.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan
· Lyttelton Cruise Hui - On Tuesday 8 August 2023 over 100 people turned out to a Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board and ChristchurchNZ facilitated a meeting to consider the 2022-23 cruise season. The purpose of the meeting was to hear from locals what the impact of cruise was on the Lyttelton community and businesses and identify actions needing to be taken for the forthcoming and future seasons. The meeting provided an opportunity for dialogue between sea cruise partners and the Lyttelton community. Partners attending included ChristchurchNZ, Lyttelton Port Company and Christchurch City Council.
This was a robust and lively civic conversation with strong advocacy and challenges from the Lyttelton community to cruise partner agencies to mitigate negative impacts in the short, medium and long term.
Public transport solutions were discussed and their feasibility is being investigated ahead of this season. Other ideas from the meeting which are to be explored include: undertaking a cost benefit and impact analysis of cruise ships; developing a process for providing current or real time information on what ships, how many passengers and docking timings to local businesses to help them roster staff; development of a long term strategy for cruise ships in Lyttelton which takes on board the concerns raised by the Lyttelton community. This is to consider placing limits on the size and number of ships and/or passengers in port at any one time as well as how best to provide a dockside information service for passengers.
· Community Responsiveness to Emergencies - In recent months there has been growing momentum in a number of communities across Banks Peninsula for people to organise to respond to emergencies. Staff have attended a number of these meetings, organised by the local communities and supported with information from key contributors. Of special note, was the community hui in Akaroa on 12 August, where the discussion was focussed on organising for the Akaroa and Bays area. A follow-up meeting was scheduled for later in August. As residents from across the Peninsula had also attended, they too were provided with information and benefitted from the discussion which had relevance for their communities and provided a catalyst for further discussion, and strategies for organising.
· The Lyttelton Recreation Grounds - Plans are well advanced for the proposed upgrade of the Lyttleton Recreation Ground sports fields this summer. The contract is currently out to tender, it is expected that an appointment will be made to start the work in October. Construction work will take around three to four months, followed by a similar period to establish the new grass. All going well it is expected that the grounds will re-open in late Autumn 2024.
3.2.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.
· Have your Say – at the time of writing the report the following consultations were open within the Community Board Area and city-wide consultation:

· Cruising and Prohibited Times on Road Bylaw Review – The Board submitted on the Christchurch City Council Cruising and Prohibited Times on Road Bylaw Review. The Board encouraged Christchurch City council to include specific parts of Banks Peninsula within the review, and outlines their reasons for inclusion. (Attachment A)
· Maritime New Zealand Funding Review – The Board provided a letter of support for the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre and supported Option 3: grants funding, for the Maritime New Zealand Funding Review. (Attachment B)
· State Highway Speed Management Plan - Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency are seeking insight from the Community Board around where their communities desire or would support a review of speed limits on the State Highway.

3.3 Governance Advice
3.3.1 Road Safety Videos –The Driver Safety website will host a series of road safety videos as they go live. The videos are aimed at educating and raising awareness of the key factors involved in people being killed or injured on our roads.
The Council works alongside other road safety partner agencies to develop and deliver an annual Road Safety Action Plan. These videos have been developed as part of the 22/23 and 23/24 Road Safety Action Plans in collaboration with NZ Police, Waka Kotahi and our local government partners Waimakariri District Council and Selwyn District Council.
The videos focus on the areas of Restraints, Impairment, Distraction and Speed (RIDS). These are some of the main factors, nationally and locally, that impact our road toll. The release of the videos is timed with Waka Kotahi’s advertising calendar and initial implementation of the Council’s “safe speed neighbourhoods” programme. The staged delivery started the week of 14 August 2023, they will be delivered through Youtube and TVNZ+.
