1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 This report summarises the feedback recieved from submitters and mana whenua on the five short-term options for managing our kerbside organics.
1.2 On 21 June 2023 the council resolved to engage with the community and mana whenua, seeking views on five shortlisted short-term kerbside organics management options.
1.3 Consultation was undertaken from 30 August until 1 October 2023.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Council:
1. Receives the information in the summary of feedback on short-term options for our green bin organics, noting that a decision on this matter will be put to Council on 6 December 2023.
3. Brief Summary
3.1 We received feedback on the five short-term options from submitters across the city.
3.2 Overall, we heard from 2,764 submitters, 2,687 submitters told us that they are Christchurch residents, this equates to around 0.7% of the total estimated population of the city at 30 June 2022 (n= 389,300, StatsNZ).
3.3 76 submitters indicated that they live in Bromley, around 3% of the total Bromley population.
3.4 Overall, submitters indicated a strong preference for Option 5 (partial processing of material at the Organics Processing Plant), with 51% of submitters ranking it as their first choice out of the five options.
3.5 Submitters from Bromley were divided on what they would like to see happen. 41% indicated Option 2 (Kate Valley Landfill) is their first preference, while 34% (n=26) indicated that they would prefer Option 5 (partial processing of material at the Organics Processing Plant). While more submitters chose Option 2 as their first preference, overall Option 5 ended up with a higher ranking. This indicates that while less submitters overall ranked Option 5 as their first preference, it was still a favourable option among many submitters from Bromley.
3.6 If a South Island processor became available to process our mixed kerbside organics, submitters showed strong support for this option. 70% of submitters said this would be either their first or second preference.
3.7 Written feedback from submitters highlighted a range of concerns around the environmental and financial impacts of the various options, and submitters regularly acknowledged the impacts that the odour has had on some Bromley residents.
3.8 Feedback from Bromley residents fell into two categories. Some reinforced that they just want us to get on and find a solution that is going to have immediate impacts on their quality of life, for some the only option they feel will achieve this is Option 2 (Kate Valley Landfill). On the other hand, there were submitters who wanted to see action taken on the odour but were also concerned about the environmental and financial impacts of some of the short-term options and expressed a preference for Option 5 (partial processing of material at the Organics Processing Plant) for this reason.
