Thoughts on the Cycle Network, from how the "Wednesday Wheelies" get around the South Stephen Wood spoke on behalf of the "Wednesday Wheelies" regarding the Cycle Network and how the cycling group is finding routes to get around town. Mr Wood noted that there is a variety of categories of cyclist, ranging from nervous to confident. The "Wednesday Wheelies” cycling group caters to interested but concerned riders and provides rides for around 40 cyclists per week in groups of ten to twelve with leaders along mapped routes. The group uses major cycle routes where these are available and tries to find connections between routes that avoid major arterials. Mr Wood encouraged the Board to look at safer speed limits on roads and to provide better connections to major cycle routes where possible. After questions from members, the Chairperson thanked Mr Wood for his presentation. |

Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz) |
1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to enable the Waihoro Spreydon Cashmere Heathcote Community Board to consider options for the rebuild of the South Library & Service Centre and make recommendations to the Council.
1.2 This report fulfils the resolution of the Sustainability and Community Resiliance Committee on June 1 2022 (SARC/2022/00020), namely:
1.2.1 The Sustainability and Community Resilience Committee Resolved to
· Direct staff to progress the design for a rebuild of the South Library Facility on its existing site.
Include the public throughout the design process, seeking ideas and then feedback prior to endorsement of the concept design.
Request that the rebuild is done to high sustainability standards including carbon emissions and water use, both during the construction and operation of the library.
· Request staff to hold a public briefing, which is live-streamed, about the repair and build options discussed in this report to inform the affected community.
Make sure the information is also available to view in the foyer of the South Library.
· Endorse the development of a concept design and costing for consideration by Council by Q2 2023, to allow time for public inclusion in the design process.
· Note that the advancement of the project to construction will require additional funding in Annual Plan 2023-2024 and or a Long-Term Plan adjustment.
· Request staff to assess and bring back options for a temporary library and service centre, as close to the current site as possible, during the rebuild phase of South Library, to retain a sufficient level of service to the affected community.
1.3 The decision in this report is of medium 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 by the decision and the range of services delivered from the facility. Community views and preferences have been ascertained through consultation in the 2021/31 Long Term Plan (LTP) process. Engagement has been undertaken with community groups, Mana Whenua, staff, facility users and the wider community, see Attachment B and sections 5.14 to 5.16 of this report below.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommend that the Council:
1. Approve the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre at a cost not exceeding $32,750,000, on the existing site, with a scope consistent with the Concept Design in Appendix A attached to this report. Noting that the anticipated opening date of the facility is in December 2026.
2. Approve the scope and function of the South Library and Service Centre as broadly summarised the Concept Design attached to this report as Attachment A.
3. Approve the progression of the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre to a detailed design based on the scope and function of the facility being consistent with the Concept Design in Appendix A.
4. Approve additional funding of $10,150,000 for the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre. Noting that this will need to be confirmed in the 2024/34 Long Term Plan phased over the 2025/26 and 2026/27 financial years.
5. Delegate to the Waihoro Spreydon Cashmere Heathcote Community Board the authority to approve:
(a) a tender to go to market for the construction of the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre; and
(b) for the CEO to enter into a construction contract for the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre with the preferred tenderer following the procurement process,
provided that:
a. The design of the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre is consistent with Council-approved scope of the project, and
b. The value of the project, including the Construction Contract does not exceed $32,750,000, and
c. Any decision outside these parameters must be referred to Council.
6. Ask the Waihoro Spreydon Cashmere Heathcote Community Board to update Council on the progress of the project quarterly in its Community Board Report.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Rebuilding of the South Library and Service Centre now, ensures safety and building service issues with the current facility are addressed. The current facility is damaged and relies on temporary propping to achieve its current 34% NBS rating. Rebuilding the facility means the building strength will be 100% NBS with full Building Act compliance as a matter of course. A new building will be more resilient in the case of a future seismic event. A structural summary report on the existing building is attached as Attachment C.
3.2 Building a new facility at the earliest opportunity minimises the risk to the community, staff, and elected members who are using an earthquake damaged and failing building.
3.3 Rebuilding a new facility now is the lowest cost option for a rebuild. This is primarily because building now avoids the additional escalation and inflation costs of a deferral. Building now will ensure the best use of $9,000,000 Better Off funding secured for the project.
3.3.1 The total project cost for this preferred option is $32,750,000. This includes CAPEX $32,000,000 for the facility build and OPEX $750,000 to relocate the core services delivered from the current facility; nearby, for a period of approximately 20 months.
3.4 Rebuilding now offers the greatest certainty of cost, in a potentially volatile market.
3.5 Many components of the existing building have reached their 20-year life span or are earthquake damaged and require replacement. Examples include heating, cooling, joinery, sewer systems, storm water and roofing. Rebuilding a new facility avoids the issue of having to deal with each of these failing items separately and will be more cost effective. Importantly a new facility will remove any risk of any residual earthquake damage manifesting and the ongoing weather tightness issues reoccurring.
3.6 Rebuilding a new facility will improve the accessibility, environmental impact of the structure, thermal performance, servicing strategy, comfort, efficiency, and daily performance of the building.
3.7 Mana Whenua and community expectations for a rebuild, currently included in the 2021/31 LTP, will be met.
3.8 The principal disadvantage of rebuilding a new facility now is the requirement for Council to set aside an additional $10,150,000 phased over the 2025/26 and 2026/27 financial years of the LTP to complete the project. This comes at a time of peak borrowing for Council. Council may also be at risk of reputational damage for committing to a project of this nature during “a cost-of-living crisis.”
3.9 The project team have estimated a total cost of up to $750,000 (OPEX) to relocate core services during the proposed rebuild. Final costs have not yet been ascertained as options are still being tested. Finalised options will be presented to the Waihoro Community Board prior to the close of November 2023.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Delay the rebuild of a new facility for 3 years.
4.1 This option provides for the finalisation of the rebuild design, and completion of essential service repairs to keep the current facility operational for 3 years. The project would pause for 3 years until financial year 2026/27. At which time the new build project would reactivate. The current facility would not be strengthened during this period.
4.2 The principal advantage of this option is that it defers the capital expenditure for the project during the period of peak Council borrowing, financial years 2024/25 to 2026/27. Other advantages include:
· Council may avoid the reputational risk of committing to a substantial project during a “cost-of-living crisis.”
· This option does not incur the cost of temporary strengthening.
· The design and consultation work to date would be utilised to complete the facility design.
4.3 The principal disadvantage of this option is that it is more expensive, primarily because a three-year delay would incur inflation and escalation costs along with the cost of essential service repairs to the building.
4.3.1 The total project cost for this option is $37,500,000. This includes CAPEX of $36,500,000 for the rebuild and OPEX $1,000,000 to deliver essential service repairs and temporary relocation. An increase of $4,500,000 is due to inflation and escalation.
4.3.2 Other disadvantages include:
· Approximately $9,000,000 of Better Off funding secured for this project would have to be repurposed to a project where it would be used within the three-year timeframe required by the terms and conditions of the Funding. This would require the approval of the Department of Internal Affairs.
· This option requires a rebuild in beginning in financial year 2026/27.
· Despite essential service repairs this option requires the community, staff, and elected members to use an earthquake damaged and failing building for an extended period. The building would remain at 34% NBS and at risk of an unplanned closure during this time.
· Stakeholders may not engage with the project as enthusiastically if it would not be built until sometime in the future.
· There is a risk that deferring building the new facility and continuing to use the current damaged and failing building, may result in reputational damage to the Council.
Delay the rebuild of a new facility for 10 - 15 years
4.4 This option would allow for the current facility to be strengthened to 67% NBS, and patched, to last up to 15 years. Services provided from the facility would be relocated for a period of 9 to 12 months whilst the strengthening works are being undertaken. The engagement and design work to date would be mothballed.
4.5 The principal advantage of this option is that it allows the deferral of the capital expenditure required for the project for at least 10 years whilst comprehensively strengthening and patching the existing facility. Other advantages include:
· Strengthening works would improve the Ultimate Limit State (ULS) – life safety rating from 34% to 67%. The resilience of the building would be improved in the case of a future seismic event.
· The value and functionality from the existing building would be extended by a minimum of 10 years. Additionally, a future rebuild would use newer technology.
4.6 The principal disadvantage of this option is that it is more expensive, primarily because:
· A 10-to-15-year delay would incur inflation and escalation costs. It is difficult to estimate the level of inflation and escalation over an extended 10 to 15 year period. Please note that the estimated inflation and escalation for a three-year period presented in section 4.3.1 of this report (above) was $4,500,000.
· Strengthening, patching and relocating would cost approximately $6,450,000. This would be covered by Better off Funding. The remainder of Better Off funding secured for this project would have to be repurposed to a project where it would be used with in the three-year timeframe required by the terms and condition of the Funding. These changes would require the approval of the Department of Internal Affairs.
· This would mean that Better Off funding of $9,000,000 used to part-fund the preferred option (rebuild now) would not be available the fund the rebuild. Additional funding would be required.
· Strengthening and patching costing approximately $6,000,000 would be lost (demolished) upon the rebuild.
4.7 Other disadvantages include:
· Existing engagement, design and project work to date would be mothballed.
· This option would require a future rebuild and two facility closures, one for strengthening and patching and one for the rebuild itself.
· Stakeholder expectations for a rebuild would not be met.
Repair existing building
4.8 A repair option is estimated to cost CAPEX $33,000,000 million and OPEX $750,000; a total of $33,750,000. The work would be intrusive and would require the closure of the facility for circa 20 months.
4.9 This option has not been progressed because:
· It is more expensive than building a new facility.
· The repaired building would not be as resilient as a new build and have a higher operating cost due to the inefficiency of the thermal envelope and constraints on heating and ventilation services. A repair would have a higher whole of life carbon footprint than a rebuild. It would not have the same opportunity to improve sustainability, operational efficiency, accessibility and incorporate a cultural narrative as would a rebuild.
4.10 The long list of options that were considered but subsequently discounted are summarised in Attachment D of this report.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Concept design
5.1 A concept design has been developed and costed for a New Facility including landscaping of the site and improvements to the existing carpark. Refer to drawings in Attachment A.
5.2 The concept design is based on the same floor area as the current facility, and provides for the same services, namely, library, customer services, learning centre, café, governance spaces and meeting rooms. The layout of the facility is updated to make improvements in how the space can be utilised and to provide more flexibility for future use.
5.3 The concept design aims to create a comfortable, efficient, and flexible building that is welcoming to all and will accommodate future needs. The primary focus of the design is to reconnect the building with the river that runs along the north side of the site and wraps around to the east. The new design considers how the community currently uses the space, including the weekly farmer’s market.
5.4 All the key areas have a connection to the landscape and river. The connection between the café on the north-east corner, and the children’s area on the north allows surveillance for parents over their children and creates a sense of family/whanau space.
5.5 The café is positioned for receiving the best sun for the time of day it is operational and provides a connection to the farmer’s market on Sunday mornings. The café’s location also gives it the ability to operate separately from the rest of the facility should this be a requirement in the future, and it can be acoustically separated.
5.6 The design strategy aims to minimise excavation on the site noting that there is the potential for excavation to expose areas of contaminated ground. A raft slab is proposed which offers good seismic resilience and is simple to design and construct. It also provides the opportunity to raise the floor level to provide more resilience in the case of future climate change flood risks.
5.7 The total life cycle carbon impacts of the project are an important consideration. The concept design carefully considers the way the building will operate in terms of energy efficiency as the operational carbon makes up the bulk of the whole of life carbon emissions. Refer to Attachment E for a summary of the sustainable design initiatives. The design enables the future inclusion of solar panel & EV charging.
5.8 The existing entry has been moved further east. This balances the building, bringing the foyer to the centre minimising the distances to travel to different corners and public functions in the building. The entrance to the south of the building will be upgraded to create a welcoming accessible arrival/drop-off area with seating and shelter from the rain. This promotes a more accessible universal entry point to the building.
5.9 The design provides gender neutral toilets which comply with and exceed NZBC G1. Three bathrooms will be fully accessible and two include showers, the third is a larger space combined as a parenting room at the children’s area/café. A separate parenting room will also be provided. An externally accessible toilet has been added to service the recreation area across from the carpark and the market.
5.10 The landscape will feature native planting, grass areas, decking, paved areas and pathways. There will be a new connection to the river and future recreational path to the north, allowing people to see and access the river from the library. The large mature trees will be protected to maintain the existing park-like character. The landscape will prioritise the use of natural materials that give a sense of warmth and texture, such as timber, permeable gravel pathways, exposed aggregate, and bluestone, which has been repurposed from the existing building cladding.
Relocating core services during the proposed rebuild
5.11 Staff are investigating options to relocate core services during the proposed rebuild. These include but are not limited to:
5.11.1 A temporary facility to house a modest library and customer service offering. The temporary facility would include space for the community governance team and the ability to host Board meetings and workshops.
5.11.2 Temporary relocation of library, customer and governance services within existing nearby Council facilities.
5.11.3 Temporary relocation of library and customer at nearby facilities. Governance services relocated temporarily to Civic Offices or existing facilities at Smith Street.
5.11.4 A combination of the above.
5.12 $750,000 is included in the proposed project budget for this purpose. This is an estimation based on relocation, establishment, operating and disestablishment costs which are over and above the costs of using the existing building.
5.13 Staff will report back to the Waihoro Board with costed options prior to the close of November 2023.
Community Engagement snapshot
5.14 In terms of gauging the views and preferences of interested and affected persons, consultation has been undertaken with stakeholders, community groups, the Disabled Persons Assembly, Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network, Community & Residents Groups, staff, facility users and the public. Feedback from these groups have informed the Concept Design.
5.15 The Concept Design was released for public feedback on 30 May 2023. The feedback received has been summarised - Attachment B.
5.16 Public feedback was positive with clear support for both the building and landscape designs. In particular positive comments were made about the size and scale of the building, its connection to the surrounding environment, the roof pop-ups and placement of the café next to the Childrens area.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.4 The decision to rebuild the South Library and Service Centre is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies. The decision aligns with Council’s target of being net carbon neutral for its operations by 2030 and our commitments under the Council Ōtautahi Climate Resilience Strategy (2021).
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.5 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. The decision involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.
6.6 Professor Te Maire Tau (Ūpoko of Ngāi Tūāhuriri) has mandated Whitiora to advise on this project.
6.7 In-depth discussions have been had about the project and the concept plans showing the proposed new building and its interaction with the landscape have been tabled. The response of the new building to the existing riverside site is of significance to Mana Whenua. Opportunities for inclusion of the cultural narrative in the design have been identified.
6.8 Engagement with Mana Whenua is ongoing.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.9 The whole-of-life carbon comparison prepared in 2022 shows a new build has the lowest upfront emissions and total life cycle emissions, thus having a lower climate impact than a repair.
6.10 A repair offers opportunity to re-life (re-use) existing fabric however the Concept Design does propose the retention of the existing foundation slab for use as fill and the use of the bluestone cladding as paving.
6.11 A new build offers greater scope to improve the environmental performance of the structure, envelope, servicing strategy, comfort and operational performance of the building. The operating emissions from a building contribute to circa 50% of the whole of life carbon emissions.
6.12 The total lifecycle carbon estimate for the rebuild will be developed as the design advances. The design enables the future installation of photo voltaic panels on the flat north facing roof, to offset electricity consumption and electric vehicle charging stations in the carpark.
6.13 The landscaping design focuses on the reuse of rainwater to avoid the need for irrigation along with the minimisation of impermeable surfaces and an increase in planted areas with native species which are suited to the site conditions.
6.14 A summary of sustainability aspects of the design is Attachment E.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.15 The concept for the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre is based on a universal design approach, above and beyond minimum accessibility requirements as specified in the Building Act.
6.16 The design team includes an accessibility reviewer to provide support throughout all of the design stages. The accessibility reviewer has provided guidance for the accessibility minimum requirements along with universal design recommendations for incorporation into the project design. In the course of the development of the concept design, feedback from Disabled Persons Assembly has been considered.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere
7.1 Cost to Implement - The cost estimate for the recommended option based on the Concept Design is $32,750,000. This includes the building, landscaping the immediate area, carpark, sewer, and transformer upgrade. It includes provision for inflation, escalation, contingencies, and options to relocate core services during the proposed rebuild.
7.2 Cost to maintain and operate – The operation and maintenance of the South Library and Service Centre is an existing level of service in the 2021/31 LTP. Accordingly, there is financial provision in the 2021/31 LTP for operational, maintenance and CAPEX R&R expenses.
7.3 Funding Source – The total cost of $32,750,000 is provided for as follows:
· $9,000,000 Better Off funding. This will cover the design, procurement, temporary relocation and part of the build cost. It will be phased to be spent first.
· $13,600,000 CAPEX in the 2021/31 LTP currently phased over financial years 2023/26. This will be re-phased to cover project costs when the Better Off funding is spent.
· $10,150,000 additional budget to be included in the 2024/34 LTP in the 2025/27 financial years to align with the latest forecast. This will cover any remaining project costs including commissioning and retentions.
7.4 The impact on rates from the additional budget requirement of $10,150,000 is 0.08% over the first four years of the LTP unless this sum is found within the capital programme by means of reprioritisation and/or substitutions.
8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa
8.1 The Council has the legal ability to enter into contracts for the procurement of services, however, to do so it needs to act in accordance with Section 14 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) 2002.
8.2 The Council has the ability to delegate to the Community Board the future approval to undertake a tender process for the construction of the New Facility and to approve the CEO entering into a construction contract with the preferred tenderer following the tender process. This is consistent with the successful approach taken on another similar project, Te Pou Toetoe. This came in under budget, ahead of time and was embraced by the local community.
Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.3 All agreements and contracts associated with the rebuild of this facility will be reviewed by the Legal Services Unit. This report has been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 There is a risk that $32,750,000 is insufficient to complete the project resulting in the Council needing to contribute additional, unbudgeted funding.
9.1.1 This risk is initially assessed as high now has a rating of medium. This is due to the recent ground-up re-estimation of all project costs including escalation and inflation, and the inclusion of a design, construction, and project contingency.
9.1.2 This risk is further mitigated because the final cost of the project will be known before the construction tender is approved. If the cost is over budget value management will be undertaken and, if necessary, the size and scope of the building, or the options to relocate core services during the proposed rebuild will be adjusted.
9.2 There is a risk that committing to a $32,750,000 project now, during a period of peak Council borrowing and higher interest rates, may result in reputational damage to the Council.
9.2.1 This risk is assessed as low because there are several factors justifying proceeding with this project now:
· This project has been clearly scheduled for approximately 9 years as part of Councils city-wide earthquake rebuild programme and in the 2021/31 LTP.
· Since post-earthquake strengthening, the community, staff and elected members have been utilising a facility, parts of which, are 34% NBS. The current facility has weathertightness issues along with compromised heating, cooling and wastewater issues. These are fully justifiable imperatives to proceed now.
· Council has taken advantage of the opportunity to apply for, and secure, Better Off funding contributing $9,000,000 toward the project. The opportunity to use this extends for three years.
9.2.2 This risk can be further mitigated through the delivery of a transparent communications plan fronted by the Waihoro Community Board and including the views of local community stakeholders.
9.3 There is a risk that the concept design will not meet the future needs of the community in terms of functionality, sustainability and resilience to climate change; potentially resulting in a sub-optimal outcome in the future.
9.3.1 This risk is assessed as low because:
· Comprehensive research, consultation and analysis have informed the concept design. Feedback from the community, residents’ groups, public consultation, the Community Board and Mana Whenua has informed the design. Advice from Council staff across a range of units has been contributed. Expert input has been provided by a range of technical and operational perspectives.
· The design has been developed to be consistent with Council’s future-focused strategies e.g. Strengthening Communities Together and the Council Ōtautahi Climate Resilience Strategy.
· Future change to the building use including the opportunity for flexible use of space is enabled by the design as is accessibility and function of the new facility for a wide range of people.
· A new building will be more resilient in the case of a future seismic event or flooding than the existing building, due to the increase in the finished floor level achieved through construction of a raft slab.
· Sustainable design features have been included e.g., the repurposing of existing building fabric, hydronic heating systems, heat recovery ventilation and indoor air quality controls, solar gain reduction, daylighting and thermal efficiency. In addition, the design makes provision for the future installation of Photo voltaic panels and electric vehicle charging stations.
· The landscape design focuses on the reuse of rainwater to avoid the need for irrigation along with the minimisation of impermeable surfaces and an increase in planted areas with native species which are suited to the site conditions.

Report of Te Pou Matua: |
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 installation of No Stopping restrictions outside 60 Hawford Road, at the vehicle access to Chatswood Retirement Village.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the Manager of Chatswood Retirement Village for No Stopping restrictions to be installed to improve safety for residents and visitors exiting this property.
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.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that:
a. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the east side of Hawford Road, commencing at a point 122.5 metres south of its intersection with Ford Road and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of nine metres.
b. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the east side of Hawford Road, commencing at a point 139.5 metres south of its intersection with Ford Road and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of five metres.
2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in resolutions 1a and 1b above.
3. Approves 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 Safety concerns have been raised by the manager of Chatswood Retirement Village about parked vehicles impeding visibility for residents and visitors turning from the vehicle crossing at 60 Hawford Road. There are regularly vehicles parked immediately north of the access. The proposal will remove two parking spaces in this direction to improve visibility to oncoming traffic. No Stopping restrictions are also proposed on the short section of kerb between the driveways to the south, as this space is insufficient to legally accommodate a parked vehicle.
3.2 No Stopping restrictions are recommended in this location due to the nature of the activity and higher incidence of vulnerable road users exiting this property.
3.3 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining approximately two on-street parking spaces.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the concerns raised or the identified safety risk associated with parked vehicles obstructing visibility at this vehicle crossing.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Parking demand in the vicinity of this access is largely associated with residential activity and the Village itself.
5.2 Hawford Road is a local residential road however there is a mix of activity at the southern end including a Kindergarten and access to Hansons Park. Higher volumes of traffic are therefore observed at times.
5.3 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified one non injury crash on the section of Hawford Road between Ford Road and Beckford Road. This was a loss of control crash on the chicane to the south of Chatswood Retirement Village. No crashes have been reported at the Village access.
5.4 Staff have however investigated and recommend that No Stopping restrictions are installed in this location due to the regular incidence of parked vehicles near this access, and the higher number of vulnerable road users accessing this site.
5.5 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.6 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.7 The manager of Chatswood Retirement Village who originally raised the concern was contacted via email. They confirmed their support for the proposal. As the proposal only affects two parking spaces immediately outside this address, no further consultation was undertaken.
5.8 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.9 The do nothing option is inconsistent with requests to improve visibility at the access.

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 installation of No Stopping Restrictions on Amherst Place, immediately east of Barrer Lane.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public for No Stopping restrictions to be installed along the frontage of 1 Barrer Lane (on Amherst Place) to reduce the risk of ongoing damage to the rock retaining wall from manoeuvring and parked vehicles, and to provide further clearance for manoeuvring around the cul-de-sac.
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.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Amherst Place, in accordance with the plan included as Attachment A (Amherst Place – Barrer Lane, Proposed No Stopping Restrictions, TG144394).
2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in resolution 1 above.
3. Approves 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 Concerns have been raised by a resident about ongoing damage to the rock retaining wall on Amherst Place along the frontage of 1 Barrer Lane. Due to the alignment and grade of the road in this location, drivers are generally not able to drive straight into the park adjacent to this wall. This requires additional manoeuvring. There is also no berm or footpath in place in this location, so the wall is located immediately adjacent to the road edge.
3.2 The recommendation for a short section of No Stopping restrictions will assist in reducing the risk of further damage to this asset. It will also provide a minor improvement to provide additional clearance for larger vehicles (such as rubbish collection) to manoeuvre around the cul-de-sac.
3.3 This wall does not have formal historical status however the resident has advised that it is part of the early housing development in this part of Cashmere.
3.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining approximately one on-street parking space.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the residents concern about ongoing damage from drivers parking in this location.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Amherst Place is a low volume cul-de-sac providing access to residential properties. Barrer Lane is a private lane accessing from the southern end of the cul-de-sac.
5.2 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System did not identify any reported crashes on Amherst Place over the last five years.
5.3 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.4 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.5 Directly affected property owners of Amherst Place were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of four letters were sent to affected property owners and residents.
5.6 The resident who raised the concern was supportive of the recommend option. No further submissions were received.
5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

Reference Te Tohutoro: |
23/1265942 |
Report of Te Pou Matua: |
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 installation of No Stopping Restrictions at the intersection of Clifton Bay and Main Road.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public for No Stopping restrictions to be installed on Main Road to improve visibility for vehicles exiting Clifton Bay.
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.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that:
a. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southwest side of Main Road, commencing at its intersection with Clifton Bay and extending in a southeast direction for a distance of ten metres.
b. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southwest side of Main Road, commencing at its intersection with Clifton Bay and extending in a northwest direction for a distance of six metres.
2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in resolutions 1a to 1b above.
3. Approves 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 Safety concerns have been raised about on street parking restricting visibility at the intersection of Clifton Bay and Main Road, specifically for vehicles exiting Clifton Bay. During busy times vehicles are observed to park on Main Road in close proximity to the intersection. This obstructs visibility to approaching vehicles and cyclists riding in the adjacent cycle lane. No Stopping restrictions are recommended to reduce the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at this intersection.
3.2 This issue is exacerbated by the layout of the intersection. Clifton Bay is a short local road with access off both Main Road and Clifton Terrace. The intersection onto Main Road is raised with a kerb cut down, similar to a driveway layout. As well as improving visibility, the proposed No Stopping restrictions are also intended to reinforce the legal minimum six metre clearance parked vehicles are required to maintain from an intersection.
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 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining approximately one on-street parking space. Noting that drivers are not legally allowed to park within six metres of an intersection.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the residents concern or identified safety risk associated with parked vehicles obstructing visibility at this intersection.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Visibility for vehicles turning from Clifton Bay can be limited by parked vehicles on Main Road. Clifton Bay is a low volume residential road however due to its close proximity to Sumner Beach, on-street parking in this area is fully occupied during busy times.
5.2 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System did not identify any reported crashes at this intersection over the last five years. The intersection is classified as low risk under Council’s risk mapping system.
5.3 Staff have however investigated and recommend No Stopping restrictions are installed in this location due to the high demand for parking at certain times of the year and general layout of the intersection.
5.4 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.5 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.6 All property owners and residents of Clifton Bay were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of four letters were sent to affected property owners and residents.
5.7 Two submissions were received. One submission was in support, the other noted they understood the difficulty when turning out of Clifton Bay however they were concerned about the loss of parking.
5.8 As noted above, drivers are not permitted to park within six metres of an intersection, the proposal will result in the loss of one on-street parking space.
5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.10 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve visibility at the intersection.
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here
Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

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 installation of No Stopping restrictions at the intersections of Burnbrae Street / St Martins Road and Harry Ell Drive / Longhurst Terrace.
1.2 This report has been written in response to requests from members of the public for No Stopping restrictions to be installed to improve visibility at these intersections.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that:
Burnbrae Street / St Martins Road Intersection (Attachment A, Plan TG144395, dated 10/08/2023)
a. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the west side of St Martins Road, commencing at its intersection with Burnbrae Street and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 19 metres.
b. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Burnbrae Street, commencing at its intersection with St Martins Road and extending in a northwest direction for a distance of 32 metres.
Harry Ell Drive / Longhurst Terrace Intersection (Attachment B, Plan TG144397, dated 10/08/2023)
c. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southeast side of Longhurst Terrace, commencing at its intersection with Harry Ell Drive and extending in a northeast direction for a distance of 11 metres.
d. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Harry Ell Drive, commencing at its intersection with Longhurst Terrace and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 27 metres.
2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in resolutions 1a to 1d above.
3. Approves 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 Safety concerns have been raised about on street parking restricting visibility at the intersections of Burnbrae Street / St Martins Road and Harry Ell Drive / Longhurst Terrace.
3.2 During busy times, vehicles are observed to park on St Martins Road, immediately north of Burnbrae Street. This is particularly an issue when there are services on at the nearby Church and there is a high demand for parking in the immediate area. These vehicles obstruct visibility for drivers turning right from Burnbrae Street onto St Martins Road. No Stopping restrictions are recommended to reduce the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at this intersection.
3.3 Similarly, No Stopping restrictions are also proposed to improve visibility along Longhurst Terrace for drivers turning from Harry Ell Drive. Drivers are also observed to park on Harry Ell Drive on the curve immediately east of the intersection. This causes eastbound drivers to have to cross the centre line to pass parked vehicles in a location where visibility is obstructed due to the topography. No Stopping restrictions are recommended to reduce the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the intersection and around the curve.
3.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachments A and B.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Burnbrae Street / St Martins Road Intersection
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining approximately four to five on-street parking spaces.
4.3 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the residents concern or identified safety risk associated with parked vehicles obstructing visibility at this intersection.
Harry Ell Drive / Longhurst Terrace Intersection
4.4 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.5 The advantages of this option include:
4.5.1 Retaining approximately four on-street parking spaces.
4.6 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.6.1 Does not address the residents concern or identified safety risk associated with parked vehicles obstructing visibility at this intersection and on the curve immediately to the east.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Visibility for vehicles turning from Burnbrae Street can be limited by parked vehicles on St Martins Road. Due to the curvature of the road this is only a concern to the north. In general, demand for on street parking is relatively low in this location and largely associated the residential properties. However, high demands have been observed when there are events on at the nearby Church.
5.2 Parking demand near the intersection of Harry Ell Drive and Longhurst Terrace is also largely associated with residential properties. There is generally a low demand for on-street parking however drivers have been observed to park near the intersection in locations that present a risk to manoeuvring vehicles.
5.3 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System did not identify any reported intersection crashes over the last five years at either of these two intersections. Both are classified as low risk under Council’s risk mapping system.
5.4 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.5 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
Burnbrae Street / St Martins Road Intersection
5.6 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of five letters were sent to affected property owners and residents. The resident who originally raised the concern was also contacted via email.
5.7 One submission was received. This property owner was in support of the proposal however they requested that this intersection be changed to stop control as they have observed near misses at this intersection.
5.8 Installing stop control in locations that do not fully warrant it can reduce the effectiveness in other more critical locations. This intersection is located on the outside of the curve, the available sight distance is in excess of 75 metres to the south (when measured from a point 9 metres back from the limit line). The proposal is intended to improve visibility to the north by preventing drivers from parking close to the intersection during busy parking times. While drivers turning from Burnbrae Street will often be required to stop due to the volume of traffic through this intersection, this does not in itself warrant stop control.
5.9 There have been no intersection crashes reported at this intersection over the last five years and with the increased visibility to the north due to the proposed No Stopping restrictions, changing this to a stop controlled intersection is not considered to be warranted at this time.
Harry Ell Drive and Longhurst Terrace Intersection
5.10 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of five letters were sent to affected property owners and residents. The resident who originally raised the concern was also contacted via email.
5.11 One submission was received. This property owner was in support of the proposal.
5.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred options.

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping Restrictions at the intersection of Redruth Avenue and Selwyn Street.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request raised during Elected Members Exchange from the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board at the meeting on 15 November 2022 for staff to investigate no stopping lines at the Selwyn Street / Redruth Avenue intersection.
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.

1.5 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that:
a. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southeast side of Redruth Avenue, commencing at its intersection with Selwyn Street and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 16 metres.
b. the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northwest side of Redruth Avenue, commencing at its intersection with Selwyn Street and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 18 metres.

2. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in resolutions 1a to 1h above.
3. Approves 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 Safety concerns have been raised about on-street parking restricting visibility at the intersection of Redruth Avenue and Selwyn Street. Residents have observed an increase in demand for on-street parking in this area due to nearby residential development.
3.2 No Stopping restrictions are recommended to reduce the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the intersection, specifically along Selwyn Street for vehicles exiting Redruth Avenue. The No Stopping lines are also proposed to extend down Redruth Avenue to prevent vehicles parking on the narrow section of road, on the immediate intersection approaches.
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 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 Retaining approximately 8-10 on-street parking spaces (based on vehicles parking within six metres of the intersection).
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the residents concern or identified safety risk associated with parked vehicles obstructing visibility at this intersection.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Redruth Avenue and Selwyn Street form a stop controlled crossroad intersection, with priority given to Selwyn Street. Selwyn Street is classified as a Collector Road in the Christchurch City Council’s District Plan, these roads distribute and collect local traffic between neighbourhood areas and the Arterial network. Redruth Avenue is classified as Local Road.
5.2 Visibility for vehicles turning from Redruth Avenue can be limited by parked vehicles on Selwyn Street. The parking demand in this location is largely associated with residential properties.
5.3 A search of the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System did not identify any reported crashes at this intersection over the last five years. The intersection is classified as low risk under Council’s safety risk mapping system.
5.4 Staff have however investigated and recommend No Stopping restrictions are installed in this location as this is a crossroad intersection and therefore has a higher number of potential conflict movements compared to other intersection configurations (such as a ‘T’ intersection). This is a busy traffic environment due to Selwyn Street’s Collector Road function and activities in the wider area, such as the nearby schools.
5.5 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.6 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.7 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of 15 letters were sent to affected property owners and residents. The resident who originally raised the concern was also contacted via email.
5.8 One submission was received, this was from the resident who originally raised the concern. Points raised in this submission and the staff response are summarised below:
5.8.1 The proposed markings don’t need to extend down Redruth Avenue as the buildouts stop any parking on Redruth Avenue close to the intersection.
5.8.2 The yellow no stopping lines are proposed to extend over the build outs on Redruth Avenue to ensure drivers do not start parking there when the markings are installed. While drivers may not be choosing to park there now, if the markings are stopped at this corner some drivers may interpret this to mean that it is ok to park adjacent to the buildouts.
5.8.3 There is a need for some uniformity for intersections between Coronation Street and Milton Streets.
5.8.4 No Stopping lines are not marked by default at all existing intersections, they are only installed where there is a verified safety issue such as a history of reported crashes, poor alignment which may result in an obstruction to turning vehicles, or a high parking demand that is essentially causing a permanent obstruction to exiting vehicles. In the case of parked vehicles, drivers are often able to see around or through vehicles depending on where they are parked. Therefore, if there is a relatively low/infrequent parking demand, No Stopping restrictions are not generally warranted.
5.8.5 By law drivers are already not allowed to park within six metres of an intersection, regardless of whether there are markings installed or not. There are currently no plans to revisit the existing markings at all intersections on this section of Selwyn Street.
5.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.10 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve visibility at the intersection.

3.1 The recommendation is strongly aligned to the Strategic Framework and in particular the strategic priority of Strengthening Communities. It will provide a strong sense of community, active participation in civic life, safe and healthy communities, celebration of our identity through arts, culture, heritage and sport, valuing the voices of children and young people.

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 10 August 2023, the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board resolved to allocate $4,500 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 Posters were placed in and around the Board area, including libraries. Previous applicants were 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, 38 eligible applications had been received. Staff have assessed the applications to ensure that they met the Summer with your Neighbours guidelines and recommended an amount to be allocated to all of the applications.
3.11 To create consistency in staff recommendations across the city, staff recommendations are based on the following formula:
· $2.50 per head up to a maximum of $200
· When the requested amount is less than the $2.50 per head formula, the requested amount is what has been recommended.
· Where two approximate attendee numbers have been noted, recommendations are based on the lower approximate figure.
3.12 A matrix outlining the applications and staff recommendations is attached (refer Attachment A), along with the Summer with your Neighbours Guidelines (refer Attachment B).

1. Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to present the Community Service and Youth Service Award 2023 nominations to the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board for consideration.
2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Confers Community Service and Youth Service Awards on the nominees listed on the Summary of Nominations 2023 (separately circulated).
2. Delegates authority to the Board Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson to accept any late applications received from other Community Boards.
3. Has the names of successful nominees released after the Board's Community Service Awards 2023 function. Names of unsuccessful nominees will be kept confidential.
3. Context/Background Te Horopaki
Issue or Opportunity / Ngā take, Ngā Whaihua rānei
3.1 The Christchurch City Council created Community Service and Youth Service Awards as a way to thank and honour those who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service. Recognising and honouring community-focused initiatives sets a standard for service, encourages a sustained commitment to civic participation, and inspires others to make service a central part of their lives.
3.2 There has been promotion of the awards scheme through Council media releases, local newspaper advertisement and the Council's social media networking avenues. In addition, local community groups, including residents’ associations, have been sent information seeking nominations for Community Service and Youth Awards for 2023.
3.3 The service undertaken should be of a voluntary nature. A paid employee may be eligible where the work undertaken is beyond the scope of that person's normal job description and the nominee has spent some of their own non-work time in the project. In this circumstance either one of the nominators should be an employer who states that the work is outside of normal work, or a supporting letter supplied from an employer stating the same. Please find the Guidelines information attached (refer Attachment A).
3.4 People will be eligible for Community Service Awards in the area that they do the work in, however, if the work is for a metropolitan organisation that covers more than two Board areas then the nomination shall be considered in the community board area that the nominee does the majority of their voluntary work.
3.5 Service recognised may include work in the following areas: youth, older persons, education, cultural, church, recreation, sport and community service sectors.
3.6 Individuals shall be eligible to receive only one Community Service Award for the same voluntary work.
3.7 Nominations can be forwarded to this Board from another Community Board if they deem that the nomination is more suitably considered by this Board. Details of such nominations may be received as late applications for consideration. Bearing this in mind the Board may wish to put in place measures to meet this contingency. These nominations could be considered by the Board Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson.
Strategic Alignment/ Te Rautaki Tīaroaro
3.8 Like most Community Board initiated projects, this project aligns to the Council’s commitment to achieving the outcome of the city enjoying strong communities.
Decision Making Authority / Te Mana Whakatau
3.9 The decision-making authority is the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
Assessment of Significance and Engagement / Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira
3.10 The decision(s) in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.11 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.
3.12 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.
Discussion / Kōrerorero
3.13 A matrix detailing the nominations received for consideration is circulated separately as Attachment B.
3.14 Nominations were open from Friday 3 March to Friday 31 March 2023. Eight nominations for Community Service Awards, including one community group, have been received this year. Only seven are eligible. No nominations were received for Community Youth Service Awards.
3.15 Historically the Community Board has followed a practice of conferring Community Service Awards to people or organisations where the service length for which the person/organisation nominated was approximately five years or more. The exception to this is for Youth Service Awards. The staff recommendation reflects this previous approach; however, it is the Board’s decision if they wish to follow this.
3.16 After the Community Board has made its decision, the award recipients will be notified and invited to a function for the presentation of the Community and Youth Service Awards.
