Linwood Avenue School Service Lane - Tree Removal
14. Approves the removal of tree 82761 and planting of two replacement trees as shown on plan TP362001 and detailed in tree report in Agenda Attachment E.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The proposed design changes have been arrived at through collaboration with Linwood Avenue school and received positive feedback from the consultation. The proposed design, Attachment A, addresses the following concerns raised by the school.
· Poor visibility when reversing out into slip lane from angled parking putting children at risk and impacting the flow of traffic through the slip lane.
· Vehicles driving at speed through the slip lane avoiding queuing traffic on Linwood Avenue.
· Drivers performing unsafe manoeuvres to park on the grass verge adjacent to the slip lane entrance.
· Double parking in the slip lane blocking the flow of vehicles which then back up onto Linwood Avenue.
Concerns raised but not addressed by this project include.
· Removing the U turn adjacent to the entrance of the slip lane due to wider network implications and it not receiving a high degree of support during consultation.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The first option to be considered was to remove the slip lane entirely and replace with parallel parking on Linwood Avenue Attachment B. Although resolving the issues being experienced in the slip lane and addressing the CPTED issue relating to a setback parking area this scheme created the following concerns that were considered to out way the benefits.
· It provided no separation between the children and the traffic on Linwood Avenue.
· The flow of cars in and out of the parking created multiple points of conflict with cyclists using the existing cycle lane.
· There were multiple opportunities for vehicle doors to be opened into the current cycle lane putting existing cyclists at greater risk.
· If children were to exit a vehicle on the road side there would be a potential for them to be stuck by cyclists moving at speed.
· The U turn would need to be closed to stop unsafe manoeuvres into the parking spaces, or numbers of parking spaces greatly reduced.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Linwood Avenue school operates a slip lane facility off Linwood Avenue for school parking catering for parent drop off, pick up, and used for delivery entry into the school. The slip lane also provides entry into the Ferndale school who have adequate parking within their own facility.
5.2 Linwood Avenue is an arterial road with approximately 26,000 vehicles per day (June 2020). The exit to the school slip lane is situated approximately 60m from the signalised intersection of Linwood Avenue, Aldwins Road and Buckleys Road. The entrance to the slip lane is situated 25m from a U turn facility on Linwood Avenue.
5.3 The Linwood Avenue School raised their safety concerns with regards to the operation of the slip lane to the Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board who later initiated the School slip-lane upgrade as part of CRAF funded transport improvements.
5.4 CRAF funding targets roading and transport improvements to deliver integrated safety, modal choice and asset improvements to communities which experienced significant damage and disruption, or increased transport demand/ travel use due to a change in travel patterns following the earthquakes in five areas - Linwood/Woolston, Richmond, New Brighton, Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/Beckenham and Riccarton.
5.5 The targeted roading and transport improvements were identified through a review of the streets in the area by transportation engineers and by asking the local community what improvements they wanted to see in their area of which the school slip lane is one.
5.6 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.6.1 Waitai Coastal Burwood Linwood Community Board.
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
5.7 Early engagement with Linwood Avenue School started in May 2022 when council staff met with them to discuss options to improve safety outside of the school. The School and Council staff collaborated on a scheme to close the slip lane and provide parallel parking on Linwood Avenue. The school was happy to proceed with this plan noting the following:
· Requested bollards along the edge of the landscape area adjacent to the parking.
· Requested the removal of the U-turn.
· Requested bollards to be added adjacent to the U turn to stop parking on the berm.
· Maintain access for delivery vehicles.
· Option for School sign in landscaping.
· New landscaping to be discussed with school.
5.8 Early engagement continued in June 2023 with Linwood Avenue School, where staff shared an updated plan to retain the slip lane and replace angled parking with parallel parking, which would be P3 during pick up and drop off, and at other times will be P60. This plan would still address safety concerns that arose from the initial plan presented to the school. This new plan was endorsed by the school prior to consultation, refer Attachment C.
5.9 Residents in the local area received early engagement flyers in their mailboxes from 29 May, foreshadowing all Way Safer Streets projects proposed for their area, and let them know we would be seeking feedback on projects in June.
5.10 Staff attended a LinWard collective hui (consisting of Te Whare Taonga o Ngā Iwi Katoa (Linwood Resource Centre), Bromley Community Trust, The Loft, CCC Libraries, Christchurch Methodist Mission and St Chads Church and Linwood Avenue Corner Trust ) to brief them on Way Safer Streets projects in early June 2023. This group recommended various engagement tactics which we took on board, including having print material in key locations across Linwood and Bromley.
5.11 Consultation started on 16 June 2023 and ran until 16 July 2023, as part of the wider Way Safer Streets consultation. An email was sent to 150 key stakeholders across the entire Way Safer Streets programme, including emergency services, Spokes, AA, Disabled Persons Assembly, Blind Low Vision, ECan, Mahaanui Kurataiao, Linwood Ave School, and The Loft at Eastgate. The consultation was posted on the council Facebook page, as well as local community groups, inviting submissions on the Social Pinpoint Map.
5.12 During consultation, flyers were delivered to residents in the local area about the wider Way Safer Streets programme, and emails were sent to those who expressed interest in being updated on Way Safer Streets. Two Newsline stories were published and picked up by local media outlets. Digital screens were displaying the consultation in Civic Offices and Linwood Library, as well as newspaper advertising in The Star and The Pegasus Post. Digital billboards were utilised in Linwood, including outside Eastgate mall. An online targeted advertising campaign ran for the entire consultation period.
5.13 Consultation documents and flyers were delivered to Bromley Community Centre, Linwood Union Church, Linwood Library, and Linwood Resource Centre and Community Gardens. The consultation documents allowed paper submissions via a submission box or post.
5.14 Key stakeholder meetings were also hosted throughout and after consultation, with Spokes, FENZ, St John, NZ Police and Disabled Persons Assembly, to further inform projects in the Way Safer Streets program.
Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga
5.15 A total of 18 submissions and 12 comments were made on the project. 15 submissions and 12 comments were made in the interactive Social Pinpoint Map, and three submissions were made via email/PDF. Submissions were made by two recognised organisations, and 16 individuals. All submissions and comments are available in Attachment D.
5.16 The two recognised organisations who submitted were the Te Huarahi Linwood Ave School Board, and the Disabled Persons Assembly.

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve a proposal to retain the recently constructed roundabout at the Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection.
1.2 This report has been written in response to the concerns raised by the community regarding the occurrence of inappropriate and anti-social driver behavior at this intersection, specifically with drivers engaging in burnouts near the intersection.
1.3 This was followed by correspondence received from Councillor Mauger on behalf of a resident that had experienced property damage after a car had left the road and crashed into the property fence.
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 the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
1.5 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report also reflect the assessment.
1.6 The recommended option is to retain the roundabout setup in June 2022 at the Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection. However, it is proposed to make a minor adjustment to the poles and kerbline on the northbound approach to the roundabout and to add speed cushions on both north and southbound approaches.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:
1. Approves pursuant to Section 334 of the Local Government Act 1974, retaining the roundabout at the Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection, and implementation of the proposed speed cushions, in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Approves pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times:
a. Along the western side of Orrick Crescent commencing at its intersection with Cowes Street and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of approximately 28m, in accordance with Attachment A.
b. Along the western side of Orrick Crescent commencing at its intersection with Cowes Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of approximately 27m, in accordance with Attachment A.
c. Along the eastern side of Orrick Crescent commencing approximately 31m south of its intersection with Doyle Place and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of approximately 45m.
d. Along the northern side on Cowes Street commencing at its intersection with Orrick Crescent and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of approximately 29 metres.
e. Along the southern side on Cowes Street commencing at its intersection with Orrick Crescent and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of approximately 27 metres.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Residents in the Avondale area had earlier provided feedback expressing concerns about multiple instances of drivers engaging in inappropriate and anti-social driving behaviour at this intersection.
3.2 The recommended safety improvements outlined in this report will help address the concerns raised by the residents.
3.3 The proposed treatments include retaining the roundabout installed in July 2022 and no stopping restrictions around the intersection to support this design.
3.4 The recommendations will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Removing the existing roundabout
4.1 The advantages of this option include:
4.1.1 None.
4.2 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Does not address the concerns of the residents in regards to anti-social driver behaviour at this location.
Permanent solution
4.3 The advantages of this option include:
4.3.1 Addresses the concerns of residents and greatly reduces the chances for anti-social driving behaviour at this location.
4.4 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.4.1 High cost that is not currently budgeted for in the minor road safety programme.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for Council. Providing safe infrastructure is key to ensure people get to where they are going safely regardless of how they are travelling.
5.2 The Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection is located in the Avondale suburb and is surrounded by residential properties.
5.3 Repeated feedback was received from residents regarding inappropriate driving behaviour in various parts of Avondale. Of particular concern was the occurrence of drivers engaging in burnouts near the Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection, as specifically reported by residents.
5.4 The Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System (CAS) was used to gain an understanding of any underlying safety issues at this location. There have been two reported crashes within 50 metres of this intersection since 2018. One crash resulted in a minor injury and the other crash was a non-injury crash.
5.5 Though the number of reported crashes at this location in the last five years is low, feedback from residents indicate that there have been multiple instances of inappropriate driving behaviour around this location.
5.6 In order to address the concerns of the residents, a roundabout using low cost materials was implemented at this location in June 2022 after consulting with the Community Board.
5.7 Due to the improved driver behaviour observed around this location after the implementation of the aforementioned treatment, staff would like to recommend and request the approval of the Community Board to retain the recently constructed roundabout at the Orrick Crescent / Cowes Street intersection.
5.8 However, after reviewing the submissions received it is proposed to make some minor changes to the layout, which include:
· An adjustment to the angle of the delineator and posts on the approach to the roundabout for northbound traffic to encourage drivers to remain on the correct side of the roundabout.
· Install speed cushions on the Orrick Crescent approaches so that the speed of vehicles entering and departing is reduced, which would also deter drivers from travelling on the wrong side of the road.
5.9 No Stopping restrictions are also proposed in order to allow free movement of vehicles while travelling through this roundabout.
5.10 Several submitters commented on the problem of anti-social road user behaviour moving to the intersections of Briarmont and Waratah Streets, and at the end of Orrick Crescent in the red zone.
5.11 Orrick Crescent up to the intersection of Cowes Street is scheduled in the preliminary Capex Resurfacing Programme in financial year 2024/2025, and therefore any permanent changes could be considered at this time.
Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
5.12 In May 2022, households surrounding the Orrick and Cowes intersection received a letter informing them of the upgrade and the process of feedback being gathered a year later.
5.13 Consultation started on 29 May and ran until 12 June 2023. Letters were delivered to 100 households surrounding the intersection. An email was sent to 27 key stakeholders, including emergency services, Chisnallwood Intermediate School, and the Avondale Residents’ Association.

3.8 The decisions in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.9 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.
3.10 Council’s Principal Advisor Treaty Relationships has previously been consulted and has raised no concerns with the suitability of the proposed Te Reo Māori names as set out below.
3.11 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.
Proposed Names
3.12 The proposed roads are shown in Attachment A.
3.13 The names are themed for a mix of the local environment and names of residents of Bromley who signed the 1893 women’s suffrage petition.
3.14 Road 1 - Preferred name: Ākau Place

3.22 Sarah Berry Place - Sarah Hannah Berry signed the 1893 suffrage petition from Bromley.
3.23 Officers Note: ‘Waiuru’ was a suggested road name when a previous version of this report was considered by the community board but has not been recommended in this report nor has it been checked as appropriate by LINZ. Our cultural advisor sets out that: the relative insignificance of the road wouldn’t be of priority to Ngāi Tūāhuriri to gift a name. Additionally, the Board chair’s suggestion (waiuru) does not resonate as an authentic translation [it is not a te reo word or phrase]. We appreciate your team having gone through previous applications to find alternative names that have already been considered by the Treaty Team and, from that list, endorse Ākau Drive (Bank of a river or stream) as an appropriate name to include in the report to the Community Board.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The option of not granting a lease has been considered and discounted as the new lease complies with current Council policy and practice regarding existing sports clubs and community groups. The club is viable and functioning and has invested in the facilities on the site.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro
6.1 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):

· Level of Service: 7.0.3.2 Support citizen and partner organisations to develop, promote and deliver recreation and sport in Christchurch - 80% satisfaction with the quality of Council recreation and sport support
Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.3 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
6.4 Management Plan: Policy 7.5(c) new buildings to be minimised but permitted where necessary for …the use of the reserve…or unable to be accommodated in existing buildings… “. In this case the current buildings are dated and inadequate for the current function of the club. The proposed renovations will not add to the existing number of buildings on site.
6.5 Management Plan: Policy 7.5(d) Factors to be considered for new buildings have been considered.
6.6 Management Plan: Policy 7.5(f) buildings are to be designed …to minimise visual impact. In this case location and design of build minimises impact.

6.8 Leasing Council Property Policy- dealing unilaterally with incumbent tenant where there is only one logical tenant including not- for-profit organisations particularly sports clubs on reserves where there is a functioning club with investment on the site.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.9 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.
6.10 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.
6.11 The decision was considered by Mana Whenua who advised that they had no concerns.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.12 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.
6.13 There is limited carbon footprint associated with the leasing itself. In terms of activities associated with the lease the club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon footprint associated with travel is low. The decision to undertake renovations as opposed to a new build is a more carbon friendly option. The renovation plans should consider the need to minimise waste wherever possible.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

Mary Richardson, Acting General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, mary.richardson@ccc.govt.nz |
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to consider approval of No Stopping restrictions on Bournemouth Crescent. This report has been written in response to a request from a local resident who lives in the street and who expressed concerns with safety when manoeuvring around the corner when cars park right at the bend outside property No.15 Bournemouth Crescent.
1.2 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 the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
1.3 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.
1.4 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:
1. Approve, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times generally in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Drawing TG144319, issue 1 dated 23/06/2023) and detailed in recommendations 1a below:
a. Along the eastern side of Bournemouth Crescent commencing at a point 134.5 metres south-east of its intersection with Basingstoke Street and extending in a southerly direction and along the bend in an easterly direction for a distance of 46.5 metres.
2. Revoke 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 resolutions 1a above.
3. Approve that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by local residents living in the street due to restricted visibility caused by on street parking close to the bend. Implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the bend.
3.2 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.3 Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is the minimum length needed to allow a driver with sufficient visibility to turn at the corner safety.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo.
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining three on-street parking spaces.
4.2.2 No cost to the Council.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the customer’s request, and identified concerns, related to the visibility when turning at the bend on Bournemouth Crescent.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 According to local residents from the street, visibility at the bend becomes difficult when vehicles park on both sides of Bournemouth Crescent causing safety issues. The road is approximately 8 metres wide, and drivers cannot see oncoming traffic especially at the bend.
5.2 There are high parking demands in the area from residents. Therefore, we do not propose to remove parking on the south side of the bend. The proposed no stopping restrictions on the north side of the bend would allow two-way traffic while maintaining on-street parking on the south side. A centre line is proposed along the bend to guide traffic.
5.3 A search of the New Zealand Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes at this corner of Bournemouth Crescent since 2017. Although staff have not received any feedback in the past regarding accessibility concerns in the street from Emergency Services or the Waste Management teams, staff acknowledge that parking on both sides of Bournemouth Crescent could cause some inconveniences especially to rubbish truck and vehicles with trailers turning.
5.4 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.
5.5 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
Community Views and Preferences
5.6 Two affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter, and no feedback has been received.
5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.8 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve safety at the bend.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Report of Te Pou Matua: |
Edwin
Tiong, Traffic Engineer |
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae: |
Mary Richardson, Acting General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, mary.richardson@ccc.govt.nz |
1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to consider approval of No Stopping restrictions on Travis Road, outside property No.274 and 274a. This report has been written in response to requests from local residents who expressed concerns with visibility issue when exiting out of their driveways. Upon reviewing the matter, it was found that the existing P3 parking outside property No.274 and 274a Travis Road protrudes out onto the existing cycle lane, which is substandard to the width required of a cycle lane beside kerbside parking.
1.2 Subsequently, it was found that the line markings on the southern side of Travis Road had been marked incorrectly and require remarking.
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 the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
1.4 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.
1.5 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is to provide adequate cycle lane width and adequate car park space width. This will also involve the marking of the bus box and re marking of the traffic lanes along this portion of Travis Road.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:
1. Approve, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times generally in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Drawing TG144387, issue 1 dated 21/07/2023) and detailed in recommendations 1a-1c below:
a. Along the southern side of Travis Road commencing west of its intersection with Wattle Drive and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 40.0 metres.
b. Along the southern side of Travis Road commencing at a point 98.0 metres west of its intersection with Wattle Drive and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 14.0 metres.
c. Along the southern side of Travis Road commencing at a point 127.0 metres west of its intersection with Wattle Drive and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 60.0 metres.
2. Approve, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of three minutes between the times of 8:00am and 9:30am, and between 2:00pm and 3:30pm, Monday to Friday, and on school days only, in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Drawing TG144387, issue 1 dated 21/07/2023) and detailed in recommendations 2a below:
a. Along the southern side of Travis Road commencing at a point 40.0 metres west of its intersection with Wattle Drive and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 58.0 metres.
3. Approve, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that a marked bus stop be installed in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Drawing TG144387, issue 1 dated 21/07/2023) and detailed in recommendations 3a below:
a. Along the southern side of Travis Road commencing at a point 112.0 metres west of its intersection with Wattle Drive and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 15.0 metres.
4. Revoke 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 this report.
5. Approve that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Request from local residents At No.274 Travis Road expressed concerns with visibility issues when exiting out of their driveways. Upon reviewing the matter, it was found that the existing P3 parking outside their property protrudes out onto the existing cycle lane, which is substandard in width required of a cycle lane beside kerbside parking. This situation is made worse by the tapering of the existing P3 parking spaces closer to the intersection with Wattle Drive.
3.2 Subsequently, it was found that the vehicle lane line markings on the southern side of Travis Road had been marked with incorrect widths. The measurement has confirmed that the parking width is less than the standard width. This in turn narrows the cycle lane width. In addition, the traffic lane width would require minor adjustments.
3.3 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.
3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance of Council’s Infrastructure Design Standard.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Two other options were considered – Maintain the status quo or narrowing the flush median.
4.2 The advantages of these options include:
4.2.1 Retaining two on-street P3 parking spaces.
4.2.2 No cost to the Council for maintaining the status quo.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the customers’ request, and identified concerns, related to poor sight lines, substandard width of parking spaces as well as cycle lane width adjacent to kerbside parking.
4.3.2 Adequate P3 car park width in front of 274 Travis Road could be achieved by narrowing the flush median and remarking the spaces. However, vehicles approaching from the east, would have insufficient taper length to safely manoeuvre once past the pedestrian island. This could pose a hazard by creating a pinch point for cyclists and at a location where students sometimes wait in the flush median rather than using the nearby refuge island.
4.3.3 Will cost approximately $4,000 for altering line marking to narrow the flush median.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 According to local residents from No.274 and 274a Travis Road, visibility exiting their properties becomes difficult when vehicles park on the P3 parking area to the southeast of their driveway.
5.2 It is noted that vehicles park over the side lines on P3 parking restrictions. The measurement has confirmed that the parking width is less than the standard width. This in turn narrows the availability of a cycle lane width. In addition, the traffic lane width would require minor adjustments.
5.3 There are high parking demands in the area from the schools pick up and drop off.
5.4 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to make a recommendation as to whether the Council should further investigate a new alcohol ban area.
1.2 The report is staff generated in response to a request for an alcohol ban for QEII Park from Multi Events Ltd.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board recommends that the Council:
1. Investigates establishing an alcohol ban at QEII and its surrounding streets on event days under the Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2018.
3. Detail Te whakamahuki
Introduction Te Whakatkinga
3.1 The Council is able to make alcohol ban areas under the Alcohol Restrictions in Public Places Bylaw 2018. An alcohol ban area is a defined area of public open space where people cannot drink alcohol or have alcohol containers during specified times and days. Before deciding to adopt a ban, the Council determines that the ban is the appropriate tool to address the identified problems of crime and disorder and is supported by the community and the Police who are responsible for enforcement.
3.2 Community boards are the primary avenue for local residents and organisations to express their concerns regarding alcohol related problems in public places. Once a request for a ban is received, the community board generally considers the proposal for the alcohol ban and makes decisions/recommendations. The Board may decide on non-regulatory tools as an appropriate (initial) response to alcohol related problems and/or may recommend further investigations into a new alcohol ban.
3.3 The procedure to make a new alcohol ban is set out in the attached guide.
3.4 Matters for the Board to consider with regard to a request for an alcohol ban include:
· Is there clear evidence of ongoing problems of crime and disorder linked to people drinking in the area?
· Is there support for an alcohol ban within the community and from the Police?
· Alternatively, could the problems be resolved by using other methods e.g. instituting community patrols, improving security lighting, or improving rubbish collection?
Proposal for an Alcohol ban Area
3.5 In November 2022, large-scale events were brought back to QEII park, held on the football field. QEII has hosted Groove Armada, Golden Festival, Fat Boy Slim and Netsky with attendance numbers being between 4,000 and 6,000 per event. These events had a special licence for alcohol and more events are expected for Summer 2024.
3.6 On 7 August 2023, Rebecca Laycock on behalf of Multi Events Ltd, event organisers presented to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board (refer Attachment A) requesting that the Council put in place a temporary alcohol ban at QEII Park and its surrounding streets on event days.
3.7 An alcohol ban as requested will provide an additional security measure, prevent anti-social behaviour around the event site during an event, and minimise intoxication. It will also be consistent with other event venues in Christchurch that host large scale events i.e., Hagley Park North.
3.8 Police support the proposal for an alcohol ban in this area and have provided evidence of alcohol-related incidents in the area.
3.9 Stakeholders including Christchurch School of Gymnastics, Taiora QEII, Children’s Christmas Parade Trust, Avonside Girls and Shirley Boys high Schools, Christchurch City Council local Parks Advisor and the Events and Partnership and Development Team also support this proposal.
Conclusion
3.10 In light of the information received and support from Police and local stakeholders, there appears to be a case for the Council to further investigate the option of establishing an alcohol ban at QEII Park and its surrounding streets on event days. Board staff recommend this request is considered further. As per the procedure to make a new alcohol ban, if the Board agrees with the request, the next step is for the Board to formally request the Council undertake further work on establishing the alcohol ban.
