3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Wigram Road is an arterial road with approximately 13,700 vehicles per day and Hayton Road is a collector road with approximately 2,800 vehicles per day. The existing shared path on the north side of Wigram Road starts at the Wigram/Skyhawk Roads roundabout and ends near Hayton Reserve, approximately 250 metres west of the Wigram/Hayton Roads intersection. There are no footpaths or crossing facilities along this section of Wigram Road to provide safe access for pedestrians and cyclists to the MCR Little River Link.
3.2 Following the opening of the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub in 2018, residents in the Aidanfield area have raised concerns about the traffic and parking issues due to the single entrance to the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub from Augustine Drive.
3.3 An original proposal was developed, which completed the link from the existing shared path to the intersection, and upgraded the intersection to improve crossing facilities, but did not address the access to Ngā Puna Wai. This was brought to the Community Board on 30 November 2021 where the design was approved where delegations applied, with other elements referred to Council to approval. This was then dropped from the Council agenda of 10 February 2022.
3.4 The development of a Netsal facility at Ngā Puna Wai has resulted in access needing to be provided to the facility through the existing motorway underpass by the Wigram-Hayton intersection. This has resulted in the intersection being upgraded from a T-intersection to a 4-way intersection.
3.5 The revised recommended option will improve safety and accessibility for the community by signalising the Wigram/Hayton Roads intersection with a raised safety platform. This option incorporates the following aspects.
· Replacement of the existing three-way priority-controlled intersection with a four-way signalised intersection with a raised platform to reduce operating speeds through the intersection and provide a safer environment for all road users.
· The existing access to the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub (Ngā Puna Wai Access Road) via the Christchurch Southern Motorway (CSM) underpass will be sealed, narrowed and connected to the proposed signalised intersection.
· The Ngā Puna Wai Access Road will only be open to light vehicles between 6am and 11pm. Full time pedestrian and cycle access will not be affected. The existing 2.4 metres height restriction on the Ngā Puna Wai Access Road will be maintained.
· Cycle and pedestrian crossing facilities such as signalised crosswalk, cycle lane, Advanced Stop Boxes and hook-turn boxes will be provided at the signalised intersection.
· A shared path will be provided on the northern side of Wigram Road connecting the existing shared paths terminating near Hayton Reserve to the Wigram/Hayton interchange, from where pedestrians and cyclists can access the MCR Little River Link.
· The MCR Little River Link cycle crossing on Ngā Puna Wai Access Road will be moved away from the underpass to improve visibility between crossing cyclists and vehicles passing through the motorway underpass culvert and will be upgraded to a crossing with a raised safety platform where vehicles stop for crossing cyclists.
· Removal of 34 on-street parking spaces due to accommodate turning lanes and road widening. This includes five on Hayton Road, three on Wigram Road north-east and 26 on Wigram Road south-west.
· Introducing five new trees and new landscaping in the street reservation to improve amenity.
3.6 This option provided the greatest benefit for vulnerable road users safety and connectivity due to the signalised crossings across all four legs of the intersection and connectivity between the existing and proposed cycle lanes.
3.7 This option also allows for direct control and direction of access restriction on the Ngā Puna Wai Access Road.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Priority controlled intersection option
4.1 This option proposed a priority-controlled intersection with Ngā Puna Wai Access Road connected to the intersection.
4.2 The advantages of this option include:
4.2.1 It has the lowest capital construction cost and easiest constructability due to the smallest intervention extent to the existing roads.
4.3 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.3.1 There is an overall negative impact on the safety of vulnerable road users, mainly due to the lack of priority crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists at the intersection.
4.3.2 The safety of motorists will also be compromised by the additional approach to the intersection (Ngā Puna Wai Access Road), as this introduces additional conflict points.
4.3.3 Time restricted access to Ngā Puna Wai would be difficult to implement.
Roundabout with raised safety platform option
4.4 This option proposed a four-leg roundabout with raised safety platforms on all the approaches to the intersection.
4.5 This option provides improvements for safety and connectivity for vulnerable road users compared to the priority controlled intersection option described in paragraph 4.1 above.
4.6 The disadvantages of this option include:
4.6.1 Safety concerns about pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities will not be addressed.
4.6.2 A roundabout would require significant road re-alignment, seal widening and land acquisition from neighbouring park lands which would also increase construction costs and project timeframes.
4.6.3 Time restricted access to Ngā Puna Wai would be difficult to implement.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 This project was initiated in 2019 to complete a safe linkage for pedestrians and cyclists between the Hayton Reserve and the Wigram/Hayton Roads intersection, and to provide safety facilities at the intersection. This supported the growth in subdivisions in the area.
5.2 The Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub opened in 2018 has an entrance only from Augustine Drive at Aidanfield, which has caused some challenges with traffic and parking. In 2020, the Council agreed to lease land in Ngā Puna Wai to the Christchurch Netball Centre to build a new indoor Netsal Centre, which would attract more traffic to the Ngā Puna Wai.
5.3 There is a private access road to Ngā Puna Wai from Wigram Road on Council land. It is a gravel access road with a wide entrance. It has a 2.4 metre height restriction as it passes through the State Highway 76 underpass culvert. The access road is currently closed to vehicular traffic and is only opened for major events such as the New Zealand Agricultural Show.
5.4 The scope of this project has therefore been extended to include upgrading the existing private access road to the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub from the Wigram/Hayton Roads intersection to share the traffic load from the main access to Ngā Puna Wai from Augustine Drive at Aidanfield.
5.5 This proposal combines the two main objectives by proposing a signalised intersection. It provides a shared path link for the long missing section of shared path on Wigram Road. It also improves safe connections for all road users at the Wigram/Hayton Roads intersection, including an alternative access point to the Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub from Wigram Road.
5.6 The Ngā Puna Wai Access Road from Wigram Road will be upgraded for vehicle access between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm. Full time pedestrian and cycle access will not be affected. The Ngā Puna Wai Access Road will only allow light vehicles due to the 2.4 metre height restriction of the motorway underpass culvert.
5.7 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.7.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board
6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
6.1 Businesses at the Hayton Road/ Avenger Crescent/Ballarat Way intersection were engaged early in May 2023 to understand the concerns and get feedback on the Wigram Road and Hayton Road Intersection. Staff advised businesses of public consultation on Wigram and Hayton Road intersection upgrade occurring later in the year.
6.2 Staff attended Halswell Residents Association on 31 July to discuss this project to get early feedback and understand residents concern around the intersection. Feedback from this meeting informed the online Frequently Asked Questions of the consultation.
6.3 Consultation started on 7 August and ran until 27 August 2023. An email was sent to 45 key stakeholders, including Police, St Johns, Fire and Emergency, Spokes, and AA inviting submissions online through Social Pinpoint platform , email or phone call. A printed submission form for those wanting to make handwritten submissions were available upon request.
6.4 The consultation was posted on the Halswell/ Westlake/ Wigram/ Aidanfield/ Kennedys Bush Community Facebook Group and the Social Pinpoint platform link was shared by Councillor Andrei Moore Facebook page, Reddit Christchurch review, and Wigram MP Megan Woods Facebook page. Signage was also installed around the Nga Puna Wai access and shared path on Wigram Road.
6.5 During consultation, 25 businesses in the local area were visited with posters to inform them and their customers of the consultation.

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipuna/Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve the landscape plans for Westbrooke Park, Shamrock Reserve, Wales Reserve and Ridder Reserve as shown in (Attachments A, B, C & D).
1.2 The proposed landscape plans provide a variety of play spaces suited to the needs of the local community and ensure we have a network of affordable play spaces in the future. All play equipment will meet the current NZS 5828:2015 Playground Equipment and Surfacing Standards.
1.3 The decisions in the report are of medium significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by consideration of the criteria set out in the Council’s Significance and Engagement Matrix. The medium rating was concluded due to the proposed change to play access in the community and the impacts on social, economic, and environmental wellbeing of the community.
1.4 The level of community engagement and consultation outlined in this report is appropriate for the medium assessment.
1.5 If the landscape plans are approved by the Community Board, we will be aiming for works to begin in March 2024. The construction timeframe for the proposed works is approximately 12 weeks.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves the landscape plan for Westbrooke Park as per attachment A – LP392001 to the report on the meeting agenda.
2. Approves the landscape plan for Shamrock Reserve as per attachment B – LP391801 to the report on the meeting agenda.
3. Approves the landscape plan for Wales Reserve as per attachment C – LP391901 to the report on the meeting agenda.
4. Approves the landscape plan for Ridder Reserve as per attachment D – LP392101 to the report on the meeting agenda.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The play equipment at Westbrooke Park, Shamrock Reserve, Wales Reserve, and Ridder Reserve are nearing the end of their useful life and funding has been allocated in the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan for their renewal.
3.2 The funding for this project provides almost enough to complete a very simple renewal at each park. One or more items of equipment would need to be removed and the size of the playgrounds reduced to fit within available budget. The opportunity for this project was to consider the play network over the four parks to ensure variety, but also focus funding towards one or two spaces to create a play space more suited to the community.
3.3 The community will still have suitable access to play if provision is focused on two parks instead of four. We generally aim for most residents to have access to a play space within 500m of their home. Mapping shows that this area of Halswell has an over-provision of play spaces.
3.4 A wide range of play value and developmental benefits for the community are achieved with the mix of play equipment proposed. The proposed play equipment will be compliant with the New Zealand Playground Standards (NZS 5828:2015).
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 The Community Board does not approve the landscape plans for the four reserves and requests staff to consider alternative designs and consult with the community.
4.1.1 Option advantages
· The community would have the opportunity to consider alternative landscape designs.
4.1.2 Option disadvantages
· The recommended option presented to the Community Board provides an improved play network, including more variety of play within walking distance of resident’s homes. If the desire is to see more traditional play spaces with built structures, the variety of play would be diminished.
· Considering alternative designs would have an impact on the existing budget, as any new playground design costs would need to come from the existing playground renewal budget. It is likely that items of play and the size of the playgrounds would need to be reduced to fit the budget.
· There would be a delay in construction timeframes as Parks staff would need to re-consult with the community.
4.2 The Community Board could choose to not approve the landscape plans with the option to do nothing.
4.2.1 Option Advantages
· This would provide the Council with a saving in capital and operational expenditure.
4.2.2 Option Disadvantages
· The play equipment would be removed from both Shamrock Reserve and Wales Reserve as it has reached the end of its useful life leaving no play provision in these parks. The equipment at Westbrooke Park and Ridder Reserve could remain for a few years however would need to be removed once it reaches the end of its life span. The closest alternative playgrounds are Fern Reserve, Scott Park, and Westlake Reserve.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 This project considers four local parks in Halswell – Ridder Reserve (24 Ridder Place), Westbrooke Park (18 Birdling Place), Wales Reserve (104 Wales Street), and Shamrock Reserve (2 Shamrock Place). Please refer to Attachment E to see the location of each reserve and the distance between each space.
5.2 The funding for this project provides enough to complete a very simple renewal at each park. The opportunity for this project was to consider the play network over the four parks to ensure variety, but also focus funding towards one or two spaces to create a play space more suited to the community.
5.3 Parks play spaces do not necessarily need to be built play structures such as forts, see-saws, and swings. They can include open space, nature play, tracks to ride bikes, spaces for games such as four square and hopscotch, and planting trees that will grow and be suitable for climbing.
5.4 Due to the noise requirements of the District Plan, we cannot consider facilities such as skate and scooter parks, basketball courts, and flying foxes as none of the parks offer suitable separation from residents.
5.5 It is proposed that all the parks will have improved entrances and pathway connections to play and seating.
5.6 All the existing play equipment within each park will be removed. And the following is proposed:
5.6.1 Westbrooke Reserve– it is proposed to renew the play equipment at Westbrooke Reserve as shown in Attachment A. The proposal consists of the following:
· Removal of the old play equipment that is reaching the end of its life span, consisting of the modular structure, swing set, and see-saw.
· Removal of existing furniture including two seats and a rubbish bin.
· A new all-ages modular structure provides a variety of play features. A small ground level shop counter, a 1.2m platform with ladder and slide for toddlers, and, for those wanting to challenge themselves further, rope features that allow climbing, balancing, and hanging.
· A new swing set (2 x strap seats, 2 x infant seats),
· A new honeycomb carousel spinner with net basket that gently rotates ideal for inclusive play.
· The existing timber sleeper steps on the mound will be replaced. Community feedback was that this mound was popular however the steps require replacing.
· The existing soft fall area will be reduced.
· The installation of new seats in better locations in the park. An accessible picnic area has also been provided, however moved to a more central location away from the busy road.
· New entry signage.
· The new landscape plan and play equipment provides a more accessible space for the community with new connecting path to the play space, ramp access, accessible picnic table, and one accessible play option (honeycomb carousel). Those with accessibility challenges can be placed lying down in this item.
5.6.2 Shamrock Reserve - it is proposed to renew the play equipment at Shamrock Reserve with nature play as shown in Attachment B. The proposal consists of the following:
· Removal of the old play equipment that is reaching the end of its life span, consisting of a swing set, slide, see-saw, and balance beams.
· Retain existing soft fall footprint and include new nature play elements. These will be tree trunks for climbing on, stepping rounds, and boulders.
· New seek and find nature game including signage and timber features with native flora and fauna engravings.
· Accessibility into the playground has been improved through including an asphalt path from Shamrock Place to the play area and a new accessible picnic table. A new park sign on the Wales Street corner will direct the public to the new accessible entrance.
· New infill planting is also proposed.
5.6.3 Wales Reserve – it is proposed to remove the play equipment at Wales Reserve and create alternative play options as shown in Attachment C.
· Removal of the old play equipment that is reaching the end of its life span, consisting of a swing set, slide, see saw, and four seat spinner.
· Removal of existing soft fall and timber boxing and reinstate with lawn, creating an open space.
· A new interactive painted play trail along the accessway linking Santa Rosa Ave and Wales Street. Play features include hopscotch, mimic me, and instructional pathways like zig zag, hop, and jump.
· New seat for those waiting at the bus stop.
· New improved access into the park with 2m wide asphalt pathway and accessible picnic table. The positioning of the picnic table to the rear of the reserve is in response to feedback received from the community.
· New post and cable barrier along Wales Street frontage. This is to address concerns raised by the community that there is no barrier between the reserve and the busy street.
· New infill planting/landscaping.
· Renew existing signage.
5.6.4 Ridder Reserve - it is proposed to remove the play equipment at Ridder Reserve and create alternative play options as shown in Attachment D.
· Removal of the old play equipment that is reaching the end of its life span, consisting of a swing set and small modular structure with slide.
· Improved accessibility into the park and street connections with two new 2m wide asphalt paths. The first connecting Chipston Place and Calverton Place and the second connecting Ridder Place and Addison Place. A sealed walkway was a common theme for respondents.
· A new pump path feature will connect to the central pathway creating an opportunity for skate, scooter, and bike play.
· A new target net will be installed taking advantage of the large open space within the park. 20% of the community feedback for Ridder Reserve liked the open space as a place for children to kick the ball around.
· Two existing seats will be retained with an additional seat provided in the open space. An accessible picnic table will also be provided adjacent to the central pathway.
· The existing Pétanque court will be retained.
· New entry signage.
5.7 Staff presented a briefing to the Community Board on 11 May 2021.
5.8 The play spaces design, location, and equipment layout will meet Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) principles and the NZ Playground Standards. Play Equipment needs to be at least 10m from residential boundaries and 5m from road boundary (District Plan requirements). Accessibility will be considered.
5.9 The new play equipment provides a wide range of play value and development benefits to the user and meets the current NZS 5828.2016 Playground Equipment and Surfacing Standards.
6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori
6.1 Consultation focused on children and families using the play spaces and the surrounding area. They were targeted using the following engagement methods:
· Temporary signage at each park advertising the consultation.
· A meeting with the Halswell Residents Association on 31 May 2021.
· Attendance at the Halswell Hub Connections Meeting on 16 November 2021.
· A drop-in session at Westbrooke Park on 30 November 2021.
· An interactive workshop with Oaklands School pupils run by the Deputy Principal.
6.2 Consultation was promoted via letterbox flyer, social media posts and Newsline.
Example of signage placed at each park
6.3 We received a total of 67 submissions during the consultation period from 16 November to 13 December 2021. The feedback received was largely positive with 46 submissions supporting the Council to focus the budget on one or two spaces and provide more nature play/open spaces at the remaining parks. A full summary of comments is available in Attachment F.
6.4 The common themes from the community feedback included:
· Focus funding on one or two parks and giving the others a ‘face lift’.
· Variety of types of play between the four parks.
· Improved entrance ways and footpath connections.
· Concerns over safety to street in Wales Reserve and Shamrock Reserve.
6.5 Staff responses to these common themes are:
6.5.1 Focus funding on one or two parks and giving the others a ‘face lift’.
Most of the funding will be focused on Westbrooke Park with a new modular structure and built play features. Approximately 50% of the budget has been allocated to this park. The remaining budget has been allocated evenly to the other three, enhancing the spaces with nature play, alternative play, and pathways.
6.5.2 Variety of types of play between the four parks.
We have investigated different styles of play and tried to accommodate a variety of play spaces better suited to the needs of the local community and to ensure we have a network of affordable play spaces in the future.
We have retained built play features in Westbrooke Park and ensured accessible equipment is also included in the design.
A common theme from respondents was also to include nature play. For this reason, we have retained the footprint of the existing play space in Shamrock Reserve but replaced the equipment with boulders and stepping logs for climbing and balancing. A new bespoke Seek and Find Nature game allows for educational play.
A large number of respondents valued the open space in Ridder Reserve noting that it was widely used for free play (e.g. kicking a ball around), walking the dog, and family functions such as birthdays and Christmas parties. We have supported this by installing a football goal. The pump path also provides a different play option for scooters, bikes, and skateboards.
Wales Reserve received mixed feedback with some disliking the park and others often using it for picnics. We have decided to add some colour to this space and alternative play by installing a painted activity path that can be used by families as they transition between Santa Rosa Ave and Wales Street. Chalk activities on footpaths in this area of Halswell were commonly seen by a project team member during the Covid lockdowns.
6.5.3 Improved entrance ways and footpath connections.
Feedback received from respondents highlighted the need for better entrances into the parks and pathway connections, especially within Ridder Reserve. Respondents advised that in winter it would be great to have a pathway that allows for keeping shoes dry when walking to the bus stop.
We have allowed for asphalt pathways connecting the streets for Westbrooke Park and Ridder Reserve.
All four parks will have their entrances enhanced with at least one accessible hard surface entry.
All four parks will also have the entry signage renewed. For larger parks, this will also be directional, e.g. directing the public to Ridder Place.
6.5.4 Safety
There was concern raised over the lack of barriers to Wales Street from Shamrock Reserve and Wales Reserve. We have allowed for infill planting and a post and cable fence to these parks.
6.6 All submissions with names and addresses have been provided to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board members. All submissions with names but without addresses and contact details are available publicly on our ‘Have Your Say’ page.
6.7 All submitters from this consultation (who provided contact details) have been advised of the results of the community feedback. The landscape plans have also been shared with the Community prior to this meeting, to give them an opportunity to provide feedback if required, or to book a deputation to speak to the Board.

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 to seek the approval of the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to install no stopping restrictions on Kittyhawk Avenue. This report has been written following safety concerns raised by residents of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village.
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 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, and as shown on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda. (Plan TG144381 Issue 1, dated 21/9/2023) that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north western side of Kittyhawk Avenue commencing at a point 74 metres south west of its intersection with Skyhawk Road and extending in a south westerly direction for a distance of 42 metres.
2. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, and as shown on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG144381 Issue 1, dated 21/9/2023) that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north western side of Kittyhawk Avenue commencing at a point 165 metres south west of its intersection with Skyhawk Road and extending in a south westerly direction for a distance of 44 metres.
3. Revokes 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 1. and 2.
4. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in 1., 2. and 3.are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Safety concerns on Kittyhawk Avenue have been identified by residents of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village. When exiting the two vehicle crossings on Kittyhawk Avenue, visibility can be restricted at times due to on street parking. Implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at these entrances.
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.
3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements of Council’s Infrastructure Design Standard.
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 Retains approximately 11 on-street parking spaces. However, it is noted that these spaces have not been observed to be fully occupied, and there is a surplus of parking opportunities in the immediate vicinity.
4.2.2 No cost.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not improve safety for those exiting Lady Wigram Retirement Village.
4.3.2 Does not respond to community concerns.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 This section of Kittyhawk Avenue is a classified as a local road, situated within the suburb of Wigram. It has a 40 km/h speed limit and an average daily traffic count of 1343 vehicles per day (2022).
5.2 Lady Wigram Retirement Village is a large complex providing a range of accommodation and care services for the elderly. As a result, this site is anticipated to have a higher proportion of elderly and visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area utilising the vehicle crossings.
5.3 Visibility can be limited for vehicles exiting the Lady Wigram Retirement Village onto Kittyhawk Avenue by vehicles parking close to the two vehicle crossings. Typically, parking demand is occurring close to the vehicle crossings as this provides a short walking distance to access the site.
5.4 Investigations indicate that the parking demand in the immediate area is generally not high, with sufficient parking opportunities elsewhere along the Kittyhawk Avenue frontage of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village for those either visiting or working.
5.5 There has been 1 reported crash in the last ten years in this section of Kittyhawk Avenue, which was unrelated to the issues in this report.
5.6 The extent of proposed No Stopping restrictions takes into account the nature of the facility, the surrounding traffic and parking environment, and the desire to improve visibility.
5.7 Approval is required by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
5.8 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.
Community Views and Preferences
5.9 As part of the Safe Speed Neighbourhoods consultation process in late 2022, 27 submissions were received from residents of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village regarding visibility concerns at the vehicle crossings.
5.10 Three residents of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village made a presentation to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board at its 15 December 2022 meeting, regarding vehicles parking in close proximity to the vehicle entrances and limiting visibility.
5.11 The Manager of the Lady Wigram Retirement Village is agreeable to the preferred option.
5.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.13 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve visibility at the intersection.
5.14 No further consultation has been undertaken due to the low likelihood of displaced parking demand affecting other properties.

3.4 Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub Community Sports Hub Access
On Sunday 20 August 2023 a community sports event occurred at Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub. This was the finals day for the Rugby League clubs from across Ōtautahi with more than 2,500 in attendance.
The actual number of participants exceeded expectations and some of the planned parking initiatives were not successfully utilised. This resulted in some people who were attending the event parking along Euphrasie Drive on both sides of the street making it very challenging for two-way traffic.
Following the experience of this event and some feedback received from the neighbours, staff are completing a review of the planning processes, working alongside the Sports Partners, Sport Canterbury and Council Traffic Team. Continuous improvement will occur to ensure the community can continue to enjoy the benefits of participating in and watching sports, whilst minimising the impact on the neighbourhood. Some of these solutions include:
· The current car-park construction onsite doubling the capacity to accommodate the community sport users of the new Netsal facility and address the increased demand for current sports users of Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub
· Complete the second entrance to Ngā Puna Wai Sports Hub from Wigram Road to reduce traffic volumes on Augustine Drive and Euphrasie Drive
· Introducing some minor no stopping restrictions around the Euphrasie Drive and Augustine Drive intersection (this option would be discussed with the Community Board for decision if staff judge it would be valuable consideration)
· Continuing to gather data about traffic volumes so staff can respond quickly to issues and update parking management plans, including working with CTOC to adjust traffic light patterns during the finish of larger community sporting events so that sports hub visitors can exit reasonably seamlessly
· Implement alternative parking and travel solutions more effectively
· Improve wet weather access to grass overflow parking surfaces during both winter and summer
There was a meeting with the community and immediate neighbours on 4 September 2023 where staff engaged with the neighbours and advised them of the actions that are been taken to address their concerns.
3.5 Hurutini Council
As we head into Term 4 for the year the Hurutini Council are beginning to look ahead to the end of the year. At the most recent Hurutini Council meeting the students started planning an exciting community event for the end of the year. More information for the event will be shared with the community soon.
In the meantime, the 'Drive safely for our safety' campaign continues to be delivered through the Halswell schools. The bumper stickers that share this message have been handed out and can be spotted around town. Hurutini Council members have been out the front of the schools rewarding those drivers showing safe driving behaviour and remaining patient during the busy drop off and pick up time periods.

An article on Fly-tipping costs for Christchurch ratepayers was included in Newsline on 20 September 2023 https://newsline.ccc.govt.nz/news/story/fly-tipping-costs-christchurch-ratepayers setting out the high costs incurred by the Council clearing illegally dumped rubbish from streets, peaking at $330,000 in 2020. The article points out that the money for clearance is coming at the expense of other projects such as renewing and repairing roads and footpaths and advises that while options to hold people to account are being investigated it is preferable that people to do the right thing with their rubbish and with reporting of illegally dumped rubbish.
4.3 Wildflower Programme - Community Parks
Parks staff have advised that there is a Wildflower planting programme taking place in Community Parks this spring, an extension of the successful Hagley Park Wildflower Trial which took place last summer (see Attachment E).
Staff will be preparing Wildflower sites at the following locations in the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board area:
Holmes Park
Rearsby Reserve
Westlake Reserve
Colman Reserve
Sockburn Park
Harrington Park
and in addition will be sowing Wildflower seed into some gardens with low vegetation cover.
Staff will continue to engage with the community collating requests for additional Parks and Reserves to receive Wildflowers.
4.4 Traffic Speeds along Richmond Avenue
At its meeting on the 28th of June 2022 the Board approved various treatment options aimed at helping maintain appropriate vehicle speeds while entering the Knights Stream subdivision from the Christchurch Southern Motorway, through Richmond Avenue. The proposed treatments included coloured pavement surfacing, a flush median near the existing speed change signs and additional advisory signs at the existing raised platform. The Board also requested staff to conduct a speed survey six months after the installation of the treatments and to provide the survey results to the Community Board.
Staff have now provided a comprehensive summary of the speed survey results (See Attachment H) and advised that at this stage, further traffic calming measures are not considered to be necessary. However further monitoring will be undertaken once the 30 kilometre per hour speed limit, approved as part of the Interim Speed Management Plan and works and programmed to be implemented in the next 18 months, has been introduced and if speed compliance is poor, we would then consider further calming measures as road users are expected to gradually adapt to these lower speed limits and there is likely to be heightened compliance in the future.
4.5 Sockburn Park - Asbestos
Staff have advised that asbestos was discovered at Sockburn Park on 18 September 2023 at approximately 2:30pm when the soil was cultivated in preparation for sowing wildflowers. (See Attachment I).
Immediately following the discovery of asbestos, staff engaged Environment Canterbury, Protranz (specialist asbestos removal contractor) and Pattel Delamore Partners Environmental Specialist (PDP) for advice on how to make the site safe. The initial advice is that risk to public health is low (pending a Remediation Action Plan (RAP)).
The following safety measures have been implemented:
· Fencing erected to isolate the area from park users.
· Soil wetted down to prevent soil disturbance.
· Soil testing carried out to determine the type of asbestos discovered.
· Staff are currently advising stakeholders of the asbestos discovery.
· Daily monitoring of the site is carried out by our Local Park Rangers. Rangers will respond to soil wetting and fence remediation requirements.
A Remediation Action Plan is being prepared and will detail the type and extent of remediation required to ensure that the site is suitable for ongoing or future use, while considering risk to the site’s surroundings and specify remediation methods and clean-up objectives.
