8. South Library & Service Centre |
|
|
Community Board Comment · The option of strengthening – the serviceability performance would improve but not achieve the same level of performance as the building strength may imply; to mean that the resilience of the materials is less than that of a new build, given that the materials have already endured earthquake events. · The cashflow – that Better-Off Funds will be used in Financial Year 2024/25, existing Capital expenditure on budget in Financial Year 2025/26, with additional Capital expenditure required in Financial Year 2026/27. · Pushing the rebuild out to a future date substantially increases the costs. In addition, the Better-Off Funding will be lost. · Sanitary and heating issues become an increased risk if the rebuild is delayed, which can lead to building closure. · Patched temporary works on the building are an ongoing reality with the building maintenance an operational cost. · Having read all the reports on South Library and Service Centre, the Staff recommendation is the best option going forward. · There is not an alternative that will save Council money in the long-term. · This Board has taken a city-wide perspective and put other communities first with respect to earthquake repairs and rebuilds and note that it is now the turn of South Library and Service Centre. The Board notes that the decision to prioritise other areas of the city ahead of South Library, while it was the right approach, is the primary reason for the delayed rebuild of this facility and thus the increased cost of building in an inflationary environment. · The facility is more than just a library; it is a full-spectrum service centre. A well-loved facility, one of the most well-utilised facility of its kind in the city. Children participate in learning programmes, it is somewhere to sit quietly, to have refreshments, the governance team is located there, Council service staff are located there, and it is a key place of connection to the beautiful Ōpāwaho Heathcote River. · In a cost of living crunch, places like libraries are extremely important. It is one of a few public places where one can pass the time in a warm room, with toilets, access to books and magazines, and helpful friendly staff, without needing to purchase anything. |
Community Board Decided SCBCC/2023/00063 (Original Officer Recommendation accepted without change) Part A That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommends that the Council: 1. Approves 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. Approves 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. Approves 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. Approves 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. Delegates 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. Requests that the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board updates Council on the progress of the project quarterly in its Community Board Report.

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 on Parade Court. This report has been written in response to a request from a member of the public for Council to consider installing No Stopping restrictions to prevent vehicles blocking access to a short pedestrian path which extends through the reserve.
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 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 all times on the southwest side of Parade Court, commencing at a point 38.5 metres northwest of its intersection with Lincoln Road, and extending in a northwest direction for a distance of nine 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 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 Safety and access concerns have been raised by a member of the public whose access to a pedestrian path on Parade Court is often obstructed by parked vehicles. The path connects with Parade Court via a kerb cutdown and extends through a small reserve to a private lane.
3.2 There is no formed footpath on the reserve side of the road, therefore pedestrians are required to cross at this location.
3.3 A short section of No Stopping restrictions is recommended to prevent vehicles blocking pedestrian access to the kerb cutdown. The No Stopping restrictions will also extend six metres southeast of the cutdown to improve visibility between approaching traffic and pedestrians waiting to cross.
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 Retains one on-street parking space.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not address the identified safety issue relating to visibility and access for pedestrians in this location.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Parade Court is a residential cul-de-sac with access from Lincoln Road. There is generally a low parking demand on Parade Court associated with the residential properties. However high parking demands are observed at times due to its proximity to the nearby sports and events facilities, including Wolfbrook Arena and Addington Raceway.
5.2 There is a footpath on the northeast side of Parade Court. Pedestrians are required to cross the road to connect with the path that extends through the reserve.
5.3 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
Community Views and Preferences
5.4 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of six letters were sent to directly affected property owners and residents.
5.5 One submission was received. This was from a resident who was fully supportive of the proposed changes.
5.6 The issue was originally raised by a resident who visited the local Council Service Centre. They have generated two service requests about their concern, however on both occasions they did not leave their contact details. While staff could not engage with the resident directly, the recommend option addresses the safety issue that was detailed in the complaint.
5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.8 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve access at this crossing point.

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 60 minute timed parking restrictions on Battersea Street. This report has been written in response to a request from a business owner for short term parking to be provided on Battersea Street for visitors and customers.
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 P60 timed parking 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 parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 60 minutes between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Sunday, on the south side of Battersea Street, commencing from a point nine metres east of its intersection with Orbell Street, and extending east for a distance of 64 metres.
2. Revoke any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with resolution 1 above.
3. Approve that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Battersea Street, between Orbell Street and Durham Street South provides access to commercial and retail activities, including a group of businesses operating a café, florist, retail shop and office space at 12 Battersea Street. One of these businesses has requested for short term parking to be provided on-street to encourage turnover and provide parking for customers and visitors in this area.
3.2 The Council’s Suburban Parking Policy prioritises short term parking over commuter parking and states that timed parking restrictions can be considered when the occupancy of on-street parking regularly exceeds 75% at peak times.
3.3 All on-street parking on this section of Battersea Street is currently unrestricted and is observed to be fully occupied during weekdays, largely by all-day commuter traffic. This is due to its proximity to the city centre and Sydenham commercial area.
3.4 The recommended option is to install P60 timed parking restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The proposal will affect up to eight on-street parking spaces, six of which are located along the frontage of 12 Battersea Street.
3.5 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the Council’s Suburban Parking Policy.
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 up to eight unrestricted on-street parking spaces.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Inconsistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy which prioritises short term parking over commuter parking.
4.3.2 Does not address the concerns raised by the local business about the growth in this area and lack of nearby parking options for visitors and customers.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Battersea Street is a local road connecting between Colombo Street to the east and Orbell Street to the west. The section of Battersea Street associated with this report is at the western end between Durham Street South and Orbell Street which accommodates largely commercial and retail activities.
5.2 All on-street parking on this section of Battersea Street is unrestricted and observed to be fully occupied during weekdays. On-street parking on the surrounding streets is also observed to be fully occupied where there are no time restrictions in place.
5.3 All businesses in this area have some off-street parking, however at times this is insufficient to fully accommodate the parking demands of the businesses, particularly during peak periods.
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 (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
Community Views and Preferences
5.6 Consultation letters were delivered to all affected businesses on Battersea Street (those located between Durham Street South and Orbell Street) on 22 and 23 August 2023. A total of eight letters were issued.
5.7 Six submissions were received, all were from either the property owners, or the business owners operating from the development at 12 Battersea Street. All submissions were supportive of the proposal.
5.8 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the recommended option.
5.9 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to manage on-street parking in this location.

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 60 minute timed parking restrictions on Stanley Street. This report has been written in response to a request from a business owner for short term parking options to be provided for visitors and customers.

1.3 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.
1.4 The recommended option is to install P60 parking 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 parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 60 minutes between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Sunday on the north side of Stanley Street, commencing at a point 28 metres east of its intersection with Durham Street South, and extending east for a distance of 47 metres.
2. Revoke any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in resolution 1 above.
3. Approve that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Stanley Street provides access to local commercial businesses, including The Colombo shopping mall. There are currently two P60 parking spaces and a P5 Loading Zone located at the eastern end of the street. All other on-street parking on Stanley Street is unrestricted.
3.2 On-street parking on Stanley Street is observed to be fully occupied during weekdays by staff from Stanley Street properties and commuter vehicles from the wider area. There is therefore low parking turnover and limited opportunities for customers or visitors accessing nearby businesses to park on street. A short section of P60 parking is proposed to alleviate this issue which was raised as a concern by a Stanley Street business owner.
3.3 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the Councils Suburban Parking Policy.
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 up to seven unrestricted on-street parking spaces.
4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:
4.3.1 Does not provide short term parking options for visitors and customers accessing nearby businesses.
4.3.2 Inconsistent with Councils Suburban Parking Policy which prioritises short stay parking over long-term commuter parking.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 Stanley Street runs between Colombo Street and Durham Street South on the southern boundary of The Colombo shopping mall. The large car park towards the eastern end of Stanley Street is specifically for the use of visitors / customers of The Colombo shopping mall.
5.2 The Council’s Suburban Parking Policy states that timed parking restrictions can be considered when the occupancy of on-street parking regularly exceeds 75% at peak times. When timed parking restrictions are warranted, they should typically cover between 25% to 50% of the total on street parking available on a section of road. The Policy also prioritises short stay parking over resident or commuter parking.
5.3 Seven P60 time restricted parking spaces are proposed to be installed on Stanley Street, including along the frontage of the business that originally requested them.
5.4 The proposal will result in just under 25% of the parking spaces on Stanley being time restricted. This is less than what is recommended in the Policy, however it is considered to be appropriate. Some of the nearby businesses have adequate on-site parking for visitors. There are also some businesses on this street that do not have any demand for customer parking due to the nature of their operations.
5.5 There are high parking demands in the area due to the retail and commercial activities as well as residential dwellings to the south.
5.6 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.
5.7 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
Community Views and Preferences
5.8 Staff undertook pre-engagement on 22 June 2023 and spoke to most Stanley Street businesses to understand current parking behaviour and get an understanding of whether there is wider support for timed parking restrictions on Stanley Street.
5.9 Key points from these discussions were:
5.9.1 Most of the on-street parking is utilised by employees of the area, including Colombo Street and Durham Street businesses. Short stay parking was strongly opposed by some businesses due to the need for staff parking on-street, particularly towards the eastern end of Stanley Street. They noted that when there is no parking available, visitors are observed to park in The Colombo mall car park.
5.9.2 Some businesses on Stanley Street do not have a need for short stay parking as their business premises do not provide for customers.
5.9.3 Businesses try to keep their off-street parking free for customers/visitors and utilise on-street parking for staff. However, in some cases off street parking is also fully occupied and there are no other viable parking options nearby.
5.10 This initial feedback was considered, and a plan developed which is largely consistent with Council’s Suburban Parking Policy but also recognises the feedback from some businesses for unrestricted parking to be retained for staff. The proposal recommends a short section of P60 parking at the western end where there are no short stay parking options available. It is also noted that while some visitors may use The Colombo mall car park, this is for mall customers only so has not been considered as a viable parking option.
Formal Consultation
5.11 Affected businesses were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of 17 letters were issued via letter drop on 2 August 2023. The proposal was also emailed to the manager of The Colombo shopping mall.
5.12 Five submissions were received. Two submissions were fully in support, two were generally supportive but had further comments, one was opposed.
5.13 A summary of feedback received is discussed below:
5.13.1 One submission noted that if the restrictions are to be implemented, there is a need for monitoring to enforce the restrictions. This will be raised with the parking enforcement team to monitor.
5.13.2 Parked vehicles are often obstructing access for large trucks to the driveway at 9 Stanley Street. The business owner has requested that No Stopping lines be installed to alleviate this.
A desktop vehicle tracking assessment has been undertaken which confirmed that a 12.5 metre rigid truck can reverse into this property within the existing vehicle crossing width. However, the assessment did show that if vehicles are parked within one metre of the vehicle crossing, access for large trucks may be partially impeded. It is noted that the vehicle crossing does not fully line up with the gate which may exacerbate this issue. For this reason and since the vehicle crossing is located within the P60 area, parking ticks will be installed to define the extent of legal parking and assist in addressing this concern. These parking ticks are only a guide and any illegal parking is best addressed by parking enforcement.
5.13.3 One business owner wanted parking ticks to be installed at all vehicle crossings on Stanley Street and yellow lines to be marked on any areas that are too small to accommodate a parked vehicle. A previous proposal was approved in December 2022 that included marking No Stopping restrictions in these locations, these have been installed. Parking ticks are not supported where driveways are clearly defined, this is an enforcement matter.
5.13.4 The reason given for opposing the proposal was the loss of unrestricted on-street parking for employees. As noted in paragraphs 5.2 above, Stanley Street meets the warrants for timed parking restrictions to be installed. The number of parking spaces has been limited to a short section at the western end to retain most of the unrestricted parking on Stanley Street.
5.14 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 This report seeks a decision from the Community Board under delegated authority from the Council to approve a licence to a surf shcool and parking restrictions to support two Surf School operations on the Esplanade at Sumner.
1.2 Two Surf School operators have been providing lessons here for a number of years however their Licences and Permit have been on holdover pending a Request For Proposal (RFP) process to select 2 future operators on new Licence terms.
1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the level of impact on any affected or interested party and low risk to the Council in regard to delivery and level of service.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board approves that:
Note that there is a staff delegation to issue licences on legal road. Therefore, conditional on the below resolutions being passed the following will be approved under that staff delegation:
· The Learn to Surf licence.
· The two carparks associated with the Learn to Surf licence.
· The two carparks associated with the Stoked Surf and Skate licence.
1. The Council enter into a licence to Stoked Surf and Skate for an area at the northern end of Reserve 3549 contained in title CB234/121, an esplanade reserve on the beach side of the Esplanade at Sumner. The licence area is shown on the plan in section 5.9 below as Licence Area 1. The purpose of the licence to provide surf lessons and equipment hire to the public, during the months of 1 September to 30 April each year. Term to be 4 years with Right of Renewal for a further 4 years. (Total 8 years).
2. The stopping of vehicles be restricted to “Authorised Vehicles Only – Associated with the Surf School - At Any Time from September to April” for the following four carparks:
a. The two carparks associated with Stoked Surf and Skate shown as ‘Area 1’ on Attachment B.
b. The two carparks associated with Learn to Surf shown as ‘Area 2’ on Attachment B.
3. Any previous resolutions pertaining to parking or stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in recommendations 2a and 2b above, be revoked.
4. 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).
5. The Property Consultancy Manager is granted delegated authority to do all things necessary and make decisions at his sole discretion to implement the above resolutions and to manage the terms and conditions of the licences.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The initial terms of the existing licences have expired for two surf schools and are holding over on a monthly basis and require renewal. One licence is on road and therefore dealt with by a staff delegation and the other is on Reserve land requiring Community Board approval.
3.2 Carparking (four, two for each) is required for both surf schools and these need to be designated i.e., have no stopping restrictions imposed to ensure they are available always should the surf school staff need to leave and return during the day as part of their business operation.
3.3 Staff wanted both parties to have the opportunity to have a Licence on an equitable basis so the staff delegation for the Licence on road will follow any Community Board decision.
Licence Area 1 - Decision is with the Community Board.
Licence Area 2 - Decision is a staff delegation.
2 Carparks at each location on legal road - the no stopping restriction is a decision that sits with the Community Board. The licencing of those designated carparks is subject to a staff delegation.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
Not allow a Licence for the Surf School on reserve Land or the required designated carparking.
4.1 Alternative locations on legal road and further down the Esplanade were considered however they have issues with access onto the beach, limited use during high tide, no convenient toilet access, and unsuitable conditions for beginners.
4.2 This would allow only one surf school to operate in a preferred location, (on Legal Road) and would not satisfy the demand for lessons by schools, community group and individuals.
4.3 This would disadvantage the local and wider community missing out on a much-needed skill in water safety and lessons in surfing and would be against Council’s strategy for active and connected communities.
4.4 Carparking is essential for the surf schools to operate as they have equipment stored in one vehicle plus client bags etc while in the surf. They need one other vehicle to come and go through the day to replenish any equipment between lessons. They must be close to the Licence area.
Reduce Proposed hours for the operation.
4.5 Current hours are 8.00am to end of daylight and end of daylight changes through the months. This allows time to set up each day for classes commencing around 9.00am and allows adult community groups to attend lessons after work in the summer months.
Reducing hours to close any earlier than
8.00pm during the high Summer would disadvantage these after work groups. In
general, during the week classes finish at
5.00pm-6.00pm and for after school attendees and adult classes finish
7.00pm-8.15pm.
4.6 Any advantage in changing to an earlier finish time would satisfy only one submitter who wanted classes to end at 5.00pm.
Reduce Term of 4+4 years to one term only
4.7 Any Licensee would require security of tenure for their operation and ongoing capital investment to ensure the continued success of their business and certainty for their employees.
4.8 For the above reasons and the fact this process to select and implement a new Licence and select new Licensee’s takes several months therefore a term any less than 4 years would not be appropriate.
4.9 The surf schools provide a much -needed service to the public however they are also a commercial business so a term of 8 years in total ensures security and viability for the business and their employees and encourages a longer term vision considering the initial and ongoing investment required to operate at a quality level.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Background
5.1 Two Surf schools have been operating in these 2 locations formally since 2013 however the existing Licence for one and Permit for the other have been on holdover pending an RFP process to select 2 surf school operators on new Licences.
5.2 Having 2 locations caters for the demand for these lessons in this location and creates a competitive edge for the schools. The few requests we have had to set up an additional surf school has been on a more casual basis and generally a ‘one person’ operation.
5.3 There is a strong demand for surf lessons in this area by schools, children, community groups and adults and the current locations have ideal conditions for beginners to intermediate participants. The locations have easy access to the beach and public toilets.
5.4 One Licence will be on reserve land and the other on legal road.
5.5 To select 2 competent, experienced operators using a fair and transparent process, an RFP process was undertaken this year. The 2 incumbent surf schools were successful as the preferred operators, and their preferred locations were the existing sites they were currently operating from. `
5.6 New Licence terms were offered to provide the operators with better security of tenure for their business and employees and in recognition of initial and ongoing capital investment required to operate at a quality level. This also allowed better management and control by the Council.
Licence
5.7 A draft Licence was proposed for Licence Area 1 on the following basis:
Base rent - $2500pa +GST
CPI reviews every 4 years.
Annual Gross Turnover at 5% less rent paid. Includes only private lessons and equipment hire turnover.ie not group school, community, and children’s lessons.
Carpark rent $760pa+GST – 2 parks
Term 4 years with one Right of Renewal for 4 years.
Period 1 Sept – 30 April each year.
Operation Daylight hours commencing at 8.00am.
Bus Management
5.8 This has been raised prior and has been addressed in the Licence and directly with the Surf schools. Buses are restricted to drop off /pickup only, with no parking on the Esplanade area. The current bus location outside Licence Area 1 (on reserve land) can be shared by both operators. Recently, Council approached the residential owners/occupiers in the immediate area, to trial a drop off/pickup zone during restricted hours on the Esplanade, however this was vetoed by the residents.
Locations
5.9 Licence AREA 1 below is near Cave Rock and is on Reserve land which requires Community Board approval along with the no stopping restriction for the 2 designated carpark.
Stoked Surf and Skate - Licence Area 1 – reserve Land
Area A and B are the Licenced areas, D the carparks and C is for any spillover.
5.10 Licence AREA 2 and the two carparks are on legal road between Marriner and Stoke St. Approval is a staff delegation.
Only the no stopping restriction for the 2 designated carparks requires Community Board approval.
Learn to Surf- Licence Area 2 -Legal road
Area A Licenced area, B for spillover and C carparks.
5.11 A briefing report was presented to the new Community Board in June to provide background on these surf schools and the current process undertaken prior to submitting this report and subsequent Community Board meeting requesting approvals.

5.13 Consultation was open from 19 July until 22 August 2023.
5.14 An email was sent to five key community stakeholders.
5.15 Staff door knocked 31 properties directly across from the two proposed licence areas and sent an additional 69 fliers to properties along the Esplanade and side streets.
5.16 The consultation was posted on the local Sumner Facebook page, inviting submissions through - https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/sumner-surf-school
Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga
Proposed licence for Stoked Surf & Skate – Licence Area 1 – near Cave Rock
5.18 Submissions were made by two recognised organisations and 48 individuals.
5.19 All submitters were in support of the proposed licence for Stoked Surf & Skate, with one submitter asking for the term to be reduced to a single four-year term, to allow for competition. Comments in support can be read in Attachment A.
Proposed licence for Learn to Surf (Licence Area 2 - between Marriner and Stoke Street)
5.20 Submissions were made by five recognised organisations and 53 individuals.
5.21 All but one submission was in support of the proposed licence for Learn to Surf, with one submitter asking for the term to be reduced to a single four-year term, to allow for competition. Comments in support can be read in Attachment A. One submitter had some concerns they would like addressed before the licence is granted. As outlined in their submission, they have requested parameters around the exact licence area, vehicle parking, operating hours, length of licence and transfer of the licence to another business. All submissions are available at online.
Additional consideration of concerns raised by one submitter regarding Learn to Surf (Licence Area 2 - between Marriner and Stoke Street)
5.21.1 Moving the spillover Area B on Licence Area 2 to grassed area in front of the toilets.
This area in front of the toilets provides public accessibility from the road to the beach and the toilets. This area is also not contiguous with the Licence Area A whereby Area B is. For the above reasons this was discounted as suitable for lessons and a large gathering of people.
5.21.2 Traffic management
This has been addressed directly with the surf schools and led to restricting any buses to drop off /pickup only with no parking on the Esplanade area. This is communicated to the schools and bus companies by the surf school operators and outlined on the Licence document.
5.21.3 Parking
Having two designated carparks with signs would alleviate any issues with losing a park when one vehicle must come and go from the area during the day. This issue was raised as the operator had often put cones in the space when leaving.
5.21.4 Ability for Sale of the business
The Licence does not allow any assignment rights and any sale would require Council approval with scrutiny of the new operator and the ability to cancel the current Licence and enter into a new Licence with the new Licensee.
5.21.5 Intensity and Growth Control
There is strong demand for surf and water safety lessons by the community and each operator manages their business to meet demand, during the period of the Licence and within the terms of that Licence as well. The operator must also balance numbers with H+ S and provide a viable and quality service.

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 112R Bridle Path Road was declared surplus in the Councils 2021 - 2031 Long Term Plan. To help facilitate the disposal of this property a Council resolution revoking the reserve status is required.
1.2 Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977 requires a resolution from a local authority to enable the Minister of Conservation to publish a revocation of a reserve in the New Zealand Gazette.
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 Councils previous decision to dispose of this land.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommends to Council that it:
1. Notes that the Council as part of its 2021 – 2031 Long Term considerations declared this property surplus.
2. Noting the Minister of Conservation does not require public notification of the proposal to revoke the Local Purpose Drainage Reserve status of the land at 112R Bridle Path Road by virtue of section 24(7) of the Reserves Act 1977;
a. Revokes the Local Purpose Drainage Reserve situated at 112R Bridle Path Road being 3220m² described as Lot 3 DP 403583 and
b. Requests the Minister of Conservation to publish the revocation of the reserve in the New Zealand Gazette under Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977.
3. Approves that the Property Consultancy Manager be delegated the authority to manage and conclude all transactions required to finalise the revocation process.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 Without revoking the reserve status of the land Council are unable to dispose of this property as resolved in the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan (Attachment 1). The recommendations in this report will enable disposal to the former owner under section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981 who remains the owner of the adjoining parcel of land.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 There are no other alternative options, this report is solely about enabling the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan decision to dispose of this property.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
5.1 112R Bridle Path Road is located on the eastern side of the road and is near the Martindales Road intersection. Council purchased this property in 2008 for a Local Purpose Drainage Reserve along with three other properties to realign Matuku Drain across the four properties as shown below.
5.2 Subsequent detailed design identified key concerns with constructing an open waterway across the natural slope in loess soil, managing overflows for overdesign flood events and potential downstream impacts.
5.3 As a result of these concerns on 24 March 2016 Council approved an alternative pipeline diversion running along Bridle Path Road that collects inflows from the Heathcote Valley Drain to the east of Bridle Path Road.
5.4 112R Bridle Path Road was no longer required for drainage and was placed onto a list of properties for potential disposal that were consulted on as part of the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan. Council subsequently declared it surplus and it is available for sale, subject to completion of the requirements of section 24 of the Reserve Act 1977.
5.5 Section 24 sets out the process to revoke a reserve status subject to public notification (if required), and authorises the Minister of Conservation to revoke a reserve status.
5.6 The Minister of Conservation has advised that public notification is not required by virtue of the provisions of section 24(7). The Minister has however requested that the local Rununga are consulted directly and any response forwarded to her including advising if there was no response.
5.7 If the reserve status is revoked Council then have a statutory obligation under section 40 of the Public Works Act 1981 to offer the land to the person from whom it was acquired. In this case those persons remain the adjoining owners and have agreed to purchase the property a price agreed by valuers acting for the respective parties.
5.8 The agreement is conditional upon the Council determining to revoke the reserve status and the successful completion of the revocation process. A copy of the agreement is available as a public excluded attachment and can be released once settlement has occurred.
5.9 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
5.9.1 Heathcote Ward of the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board
6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.2 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies. This report will enable Council to dispose of this property in accordance with the decisions made in the 2021 – 2031 Long Term Plan.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.3 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
6.4 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga
6.5 Mana Whenua were consulted as part of the Councils Long Term Plan consultation in 2021, and again in relation to the revocation of the reserve status at the request of the Minister of Conservation, no objections were raised.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.6 The decisions in this report have no impact on climate change, all they do is put a mechanism in place to revoke the reserve status of the land.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.7 The decisions in this report have no relevant accessibility considerations. The property will be privately owned and occupied.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board 12 October 2023 |

1. Nature of Decision or Issue and Report Origin
1.1 The purpose of this report is to consider a request from the Cashmere Tennis Club for landlord approval to re-surface two courts and to replace existing sub-surface drainage.
1.2 The existing synthetic surface has reached the end of its life and improved drainage is required before a new surface is created.
1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and the cost to Council.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:
1. Approve the installation of sub surface drainage and re-surfacing of the courts 9-10 as shown in Attachment B to this report subject to the work meeting all Building Act 2004 and other compliance requirements.
3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau
3.1 The Cashmere Tennis Club lease part of Cashmere Valley Reserve from the Council. Under the terms of the lease landlord approval is required. This report recommends approving installation of drainage and a new asphalt surface.
3.2 The advantages of the recommended new court surface and drainage are that it will:
· Enable court surface renovation.
· Provide an improved and safer playing surface.
3.3 There are no disadvantages identified.
4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa
4.1 Do not approve construction - not favoured as this does not assist improvement and use options for the facility.
5. Detail Te Whakamahuki
The Property
5.1 The Council own the property (shown in red below) which is located within Valley Road in Cashmere. The property is known as Cashmere Valley Reserve and is described as Res 5114 CB372/26. It is held as Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977. Parts of the property are leased to Cashmere Bowling Club, Cashmere Croquet Club and Cashmere Tennis Club.
Cashmere Tennis Club
5.2 Cashmere Tennis Club have been on the site shown in yellow below since 1923. A new lease was approved in 2022 following consideration by a Reserves Act Hearing Panel. The new lease has been negotiated and executed.
5.3 The club have requested approval to re-surface the courts 9-10 shown above including the installation of ground drainage. Under the terms of the lease, landlord approval must be sought to change the playing surfaces.
5.4 Landlord approval is delegated to the Community Board.
5.5 The surface of courts 9-10 are currently in synthetic grass. The Club have advised that the reason for the replacement is that the surface is nearing the end of its life and was laid without adequate drainage with limited fall. In recent years there has been an increase in stormwater flow and the effect is that mud and moisture have been filtering through the surface. The courts are frequently in a poor playing condition creating risk of slipping to players.
5.6 The club is proposing to replace existing ground drainage as per the draft plan in Attachment B. The replacement of existing drains does not require a building consent.
5.7 The club are proposing to re-lay the courts in an asphalt surface with flexipave coating like courts 7-8 and courts 1-5. The asphalt finish has been proven to be the most effective and durable for these locations.
5.8 The periodic renewal of court surfaces is a reasonable expectation for the Club. The new surface makes no meaningful change from existing use other than making the surface less affected by drainage and capable of normal use. Parks and Recreation staff support the proposal.
5.9 Construction will involve access off Crighton Terrace and removal of the existing fences to gain access. The fences will be replaced with similar fencing. There will be some disturbance to the residents during construction. The contractors will work with roading staff in this regard.
Community Views and Preferences
5.10 Given the minimal impact of the proposal staff have not sought the views of the neighbours. A start work notice from the Club to the neighbours is recommended. Staff consider that this is sufficient considering the significance of the decision proposed.
5.11 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.4 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
6.5 The decision is not a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.
6.6 The proposal was forwarded to the Council Principal Advisor, Treaty Relationships on 17 May 2023 who advised to proceed based on the minimal impact associated with the work.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.7 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. The construction proposal in this report does involve the use of natural resources and will impact emissions but the scale of work is low and the impact on emissions is commensurate with that level. The synthetic surface will impact emissions by way of disposal. To avoid dumping it is proposed to re-cycle the material by advertising and offer the surface to club members or the public to be used in kindergartens, holiday homes, dairy farms etc.
Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā
6.8 No accessibility issues arise because of this proposal.
7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture
8.2 Clause 14 of the lease to Cashmere Tennis Club requires landlord approval before changing the playing surfaces.
9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru
9.1 There is a risk that the neighbours will object to the new surface and be affected by the construction work. Given the minimal impact of the proposal the likelihood is considered low. The construction impact will be managed by the contractors under close supervision from the club.

Heading to Wellington for the first time was another great experience for her. |

Julia Wynands Christchurch National Netball Open Tournament, Dunedin The weeklong tournament held in Dunedin was Julia's first in representing Christchurch and the team managed to make the final for the first time in history, placing second, which is a huge success for Christchurch Netball and all players/staff involved. Another achievement gained was receiving the awards for most goals scored and least goals scored against, which meant the team returned home with 3 trophies.
