Chairpersons Recommendation

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1.         Declines the design of the pilot scheme to implement a separated unidirectional cycleway on both sides of Breezes Road between the existing Chisnallwood Intermediate pedestrian crossing and Pages Road, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A, Sheets 2-6.

2.         Approves the remainder of the Officer Recommendations (2 to 10) and recommendations to the Council (11 to 14) above.

 

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       The proposed scope for the project has been developed following extensive engagement with the Aranui community, most notably through student design jams in June 2023.

3.1.1   During these design jams, children from three local schools – Haeata Community Campus, Chisnallwood Intermediate and St James School were invited to attend workshops where they had the opportunity to share their experiences getting to school by active transport modes, discuss barriers they typically face with active travel, and design their own solutions to these problems.

3.1.2   All transport interventions proposed were either directly requested by school students or are designed to address specific issues raised during workshops by the students.

3.1.3   Staff have also spoken to other groups, including the Aranui Community Trust Incorporated Society (ACTIS).

3.2       Significant monitoring work has been undertaken in recent months to understand travel behaviour within Aranui, which has demonstrated a need for the proposed changes.

3.2.1   The operating speed for several streets in the area is at or above 50km/h, which is not considered safe for school zones or areas of high pedestrian activity.

3.2.2   School travel survey respondents rated safety for children walking, cycling or scooting to school a 3.9/10.

3.2.3   The majority of Aranui schoolchildren are currently being dropped to school by private vehicles despite most living within a 5km radius.

3.3       This project is receiving 90% funding support from the Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency Streets for People programme. The programme aims to trial street improvements, using low cost and tactical interventions to accelerate changes ahead of permanent solutions being delivered in the future.

3.3.1   In line with this, the Aranui Connections project will be initially rolled out as a trial using low cost materials, or more permanent materials where the higher level of safety is required such as at formal priority crossing points.

3.3.2   Delivering the work under a Temporary Traffic Management Plan delegation is considered most appropriate for this purpose and will allow the project team to be agile in responding to stakeholder feedback during the trial period. The trial period is three months, following which data will be gathered and analysed, and a report will be presented to the Community Board before the end of June 2024.

3.3.3   Should the recommendation be to make elements of the trial permanent, this will include detailed traffic resolutions. Subject to the final design and delegation, this may also include recommendations to the Council.

3.4       A pre-trial engagement period was held between 13 September and 2 October 2023. Most feedback received during this period was positive. The majority of formal submissions were in favour of the staff preferred option and the unidirectional separated cycleways on both sides of Breezes Road.

3.4.1   The detail of the submissions can be found in Agenda Attachment C.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       Three cycle connections were initially considered for Breezes Road including:

4.1.1   Option 1 – Separated unidirectional cycle lanes on both sides of Breezes Road

4.1.2   Option 2 – Separated unidirectional cycle lane (south side) and shared path (north side)

4.1.3   Option 3 – Separated unidirectional cycle lane (north side) and shared path (south side)

4.2       Option 3 was discounted during early optioneering as it is the least safe of the three options, confirmed by using the Waka Kotahi Separated Cycleway Options Tool, which considers aspects of the surrounding environment that would pose a risk to cyclists, including the number of houses serviced by a driveway, number of non-residential driveways, adjacent intersections and expected vehicular movements.

4.3       Option 1 and Option 2 were taken forward to pre-trial engagement and Option 2 was subsequently discounted.

4.3.1   Advantages of Option 2:

·     Option 2 has the least impact on street parking on Breezes Road and will result in a loss of 49 (46%) parking spaces as opposed to Option 1, which will result in a loss of 99 (93%) parking spaces.

·     Abundant on-street parking on Breezes Road, however, does not appear to be a priority for this community. Parking surveys on Breezes Road revealed an average of 0-19% parking occupancy for most of the street. Many residences have access to off-street parking. Popular destinations on Breezes Road, including Pak’n’Save and Haeata Community Campus both have large off-street parking facilities.

4.3.2   Disadvantages of Option 2:

·     Option 2 is the less safe option as confirmed through analysis using the Separated Cycleway Options Tool. There is an increased risk (3x) to users of the shared path when vehicles exit properties on the north side of Breezes Road. This is because motorists are not expecting to look out for users travelling in the opposite direction to traffic. Having higher speed cyclists and scooterers in the same area as pedestrians is also less safe - particularly for the elderly and people with disabilities.

·     Option 2 was not supported by the majority of submitters during the pre-trial engagement period. Further detail outlined below in Section 5.

·     Shared paths are not supported by Waka Kotahi due to safety concerns outlined above. Waka Kotahi have indicated they would not provide funding assistance for a shared path.

4.4       Option 1 is the current preferred option. The separated unidirectional cycleways provide the highest level of safety for users.

4.5       Following conversations with Waka Kotahi regarding shared path safety concerns, a fourth option was developed for a separated bi-directional cycle lane on the north side of Breezes Road.

4.5.1   This option has the benefit of separating cyclists and pedestrians, while minimising parking loss on Breezes Road. This option is still considered higher risk than Option 1 due to risk of collision between contraflow cyclists and vehicles exiting driveways.

4.5.2   The project team were prepared to propose Option 4 as a compromise if the pre-trial engagement period indicated a community preference for Option 2. As this has not proven to be the case, the preferred option to take forward to trial remains as Option 1.

4.5.3   The cycleway can be adapted to Option 4, at a cost, during the trial period should community feedback indicate opposition to the new facility and loss of parking along Breezes Road. However, to ensure an acceptable level of safety where the cycleway crosses side roads, this also necessitates the conversion of Gosport Street to a cul-de-sac. In doing so, the risk of a collision between contra-flow cyclists and turning vehicles is minimised. This option has not yet been consulted on and therefore cannot be implemented at the present time.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       A full set of plans for preferred option is attached with this report. The proposal includes:

5.1.1   A separated unidirectional cycle facility along both sides of Breezes Road, between the Chisnallwood School pedestrian crossing and Pages Road.

5.1.2   Raised pedestrian crossing points at existing crossing locations on Breezes Road outside of Haeata Community Campus and Chisnallwood Intermediate. New raised crossing points outside St James School on Rowan Avenue.

5.1.3   Intersection improvements to 14 intersections on popular school pedestrian routes. Upgrades will include kerb buildouts using low cost bollards to reduce crossing distances. Safe speed humps at each are also to be installed. Intersections include:

·     Pembroke Street / Breezes Road

·     Eglinton Street / Breezes Road

·     Gosport Street / Breezes Road

·     Hampshire Street / Breezes Road

·     Tahuna Street / Shortland Street

·     Mchaffies Place / Shortland Street

·     Aldershot Street / Hampshire Street

·     Lyndhurst Crescent / Hampshire Street (South)

·     Lyndhurst Crescent / Hampshire Street (North)

·     Marlow Road / Hampshire Street

·     Eureka Street / Marlow Road

·     Eureka Street / Rowan Avenue

·     Yarmouth Street / Rowan Avenue

·     Carisbrooke Street / Rowan Avenue

5.1.4   Safe Speed humps along Hampshire Street to reduce reported antisocial driver behaviour along this corridor.

5.1.5   Footpath reclamation and designated road art space – Outside of St James School and Wainoni Park.

5.2       The proposal has been developed following extensive engagement with the Aranui community, most notably through student design jams. The proposal is representative of what the students in Aranui designed during design jam sessions, and intend to address key-barriers to active transport voiced during workshops, including:

5.2.1   People using streets as a racetrack – Interventions are targeted at speed reduction in recorded high-speed areas.

5.2.2   Feeling unsafe at intersections – Interventions focus on busy intersections and pedestrian routes to school, and support reduced crossing distances and reduced vehicle speeds where people are crossing.

5.2.3   Lack of colour, art and cool designs in the public realm – interventions intend to bring vibrancy to the public realm and will include designated road art spaces that will reflect the cultural diversity within Aranui.

5.2.4   Streets are hard to cross – The proposal improves the safety and visibility of existing pedestrian crossing and adds a new crossing outside of St James School.

5.2.5   Footpaths are too narrow – Where possible, the proposal aims to reclaim footpath space in areas where students reported pinch points or areas where large groups tend to congregate, such as near Wainoni Park and outside St James School.

5.3       A summary of design jam sessions and outcomes is included as Attachment B to this report.

5.4       A pre-trial engagement period was held during September and October and included a variety of online and in-person engagement tactics. A full summary document is attached with this report. The majority of submitters, both online and at the in-person information space voted in favour of Option 1 – separated unidirectional cycleway on each side of Breezes Road. There is broad agreement that safety improvements would be welcome and much needed in Aranui.

5.5       The project will be initially delivered as a trial. The trial will last for three months, over which, monitoring and evaluation will take place and community feedback sought. Monthly check-ins will be held, and adaptations made as necessary, and where safe to do so, in response to stakeholder feedback.

5.6       The whole project is to be delivered as a trial under a Temporary Traffic Management Plan. The primary focus of the trial is the cycle connection along Breezes Road, which will use flexible bollards as a form of traffic separation. In this way, Option 4 could be explored if critical public feedback is received during the three-month trial period, although more time would be required to complete an amended trial. Intersection buildouts will also be delivered using these flexible bollards.

5.7       Other aspects of the proposal, including raised pedestrian crossings and speed bumps will be delivered as permanent interventions using asphalt. This decision has been made for the following reasons:

5.7.1   There is a clear demand for these interventions in the areas proposed. Raised crossings will support safe pedestrian access to three schools within the Aranui area.

5.7.2   A clear majority (65%) of online submitters supported safe speed platforms and humps. In person engagement with stakeholders and community members in Aranui has consistently indicated frustrations at speeding traffic and anti-social road user behaviour throughout the Aranui neighbourhood, specifically along Hampshire Street.

5.7.3   It is cost comparative to install the speed management devices as permanent or temporary solutions. If temporary speed bumps and platforms are installed, they will need to be made permanent in future, which will likely be at the council expense.

5.7.4   For reasons above, the project team are proposing a do it once, do it well approach for speed humps and raised pedestrian crossings and taking advantage of 90% Waka Kotahi funding while it is available.

5.8       At the conclusion of the three month trial period, the works will remain in place while a decision is made. A report will again be brought before the Community Board, which will include findings from monitoring and evaluation. Should any elements be recommended to become permanent, detailed traffic resolutions will be included, for Community Board (and, where appropriate, Council) approval.

5.9       It is recommended that Council approves the trial to stay in place until the end June 2024. While this does not preclude the early removal of elements that are not working, it will ensure that appropriate time is allowed for recommendations to be finalised, or interventions removed, upon completion of the trial.

5.10    The decision affects the following Wards/Community Board areas:

5.10.1 Burwood Ward

5.10.2 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board

6.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1       The project aligns with Council’s strategic priorities, including enabling active and connected communities and meeting the challenge of climate change through every means available.

6.2       This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):

6.3       Transport

6.3.1   Activity: Transport

·     Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=36% of trips undertaken by non-car modes.

·     Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network  - <=100 crashes.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.1 Limit deaths and serious injury crashes per capita for cyclists and pedestrians - <= 12 crashes per 100,000 residents.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=66% resident satisfaction.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.3 More people are choosing to travel by cycling - >=12,500 average daily cyclist detections.

·     Level of Service: 10.0.41 Reduce emissions and greenhouse gases related to transport - <=1.10 million tonnes of CO2 equivalents.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.42 Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes - >= 585 kilometres (total combined length).

·     Level of Service: 16.0.10 Maintain the perception that Christchurch is a walking friendly city - >=85% resident satisfaction.  

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The project is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, in particular:

6.4.1   The changes made align with road safety and liveable streets goals in the Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan 2012-2042 and similarly to the draft Transport Plan (safe streets).

6.4.2   The changes made align with Kia tūroa te Ao – Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy as outlined below under Climate Change Impact Considerations.

6.5       Improving safety on local roads is a priority for Council. Increasing the safety and accessibility of footpaths and cycle lanes and encouraging active modes of transport is one of several focus areas to achieve this.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.6       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 not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

6.7       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

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.8       The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.8.1   Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.8.2   Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.9       The full scope of works includes the installation of a safe separated cycle facility on Breezes Road, safety improvements to existing pedestrian crossing points, speed calming interventions throughout Aranui and intersection upgrades to support reduced pedestrian crossing distances and slower traffic speeds. All interventions are intended to improve the experiences of travelling around Aranui by active transport modes and seek to address key barriers to active transport identified by students. Therefore, the proposal will likely have a net positive impact for the environment by helping to reduce transport emissions.

6.10    Cycleways are a key part of council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a low emission way for residents to move around the city.

6.11    The National Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) states we will have to substantially improve infrastructure for walking and cycling to meet our emissions targets (including a 20% reduction in light Vehicle Kilometres Travelled by 2035 – required under the ERP). Improving the quality of cycling infrastructure is also a key part of the Ministry of Transport and Waka Kotahi’s efforts to decarbonise the transport system.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.12    The proposal improves accessibility for walking and cycling and provides a safer means of accessing and using the street network by active modes.

7.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1       Cost to Implement - $1 million – 90 % Waka Kotahi funded. Note, this is the cost to implement the preferred option. Further costs will be incurred as any adaptations are made during the trial period.

7.2       Maintenance/Ongoing costs – Funded through the Streets for People budget until the end of June 2024.

7.3       Funding Source – The project is 90% funded by Waka Kotahi’s Streets for People programme. The remaining 10% is funded by the transport capital programme.

Other He mea anō

7.4       None identified.

8.   Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa

8.1       The Land Transport Rule: Street Layouts 2023 defines and codifies the process by which Road Controlling Authorities can conduct pilot projects. Under this, and in the absence of specific delegation, Council are the decision-making body to decide on the installation of a trial, and the method by which this is carried out.

8.2       The works are to be installed through a Temporary Traffic Management Plan. The Council has delegated these powers to the Chief Executive, who has in turn delegated them to staff. This gives staff the flexibility to modify the trial in line with the intent of the Rule, without having to return to Council for specific approval.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.3       At the conclusion of the three month trial period, the works will remain in place while a decision is made. A report will be prepared for the Community Board, which will include findings from monitoring and evaluation. Should a recommendation be made to keep some or all of the interventions in place, the report will include traffic and parking resolutions for the Community Board (and, where appropriate, Council) to approve.

9.   Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1       The project will initially be rolled out as a trial for a three-month period. During the trial the project team will actively seek community feedback and complete monitoring and evaluation work to determine the success of the project. Adaptations can be made as needed, specifically in relation to the Breezes Road cycle connection, should there be significant adverse reactions among the community. In this way, transport interventions can be trialled at low risk to Council.

1.   Nature of Issue and Report Origin

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve a proposal for safety improvements on Hoon Hay Road and Rose Street near the Hoon Hay Road / Rose Street intersection.

1.2       This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the community regarding the absence of pedestrian crossing facilities near the Hoon Hay Road / Rose Street intersection.

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       Concerns around the safety of pedestrians crossing Hoon Hay Road near its intersection with Rose Street have been raised by the public through the Community Board. There is a widespread desire to see safe crossing facilities provided for pedestrians in this location.

3.2       Also, there is a strong desire line for crossing to and from the local shops on the western side of Hoon Hay Road.

3.3       The proposed treatments include a pedestrian refuge island on Hoon Hay Road complemented by supporting kerb islands, kerb extensions at the Hoon Hay Road and Rose Street intersection, a cycle lane, a flush median along Hoon Hay Road and No Stopping Restrictions to support these treatments.

3.4       Time restricted parking spaces have also been proposed in order to help the nearby businesses.

3.5       The recommendations will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Do Nothing

4.1       The advantages of this option include:

4.1.1   No cost to Council.

4.2       The disadvantages of this option include:

4.2.1   Does not address the concerns of the road users (especially pedestrians) at this location.

 

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for Council. Providing safe infrastructure is key to ensure people get to where they are going safely regardless of how they are travelling.

5.2       Hoon Hay Road is an Arterial Road with an average weekday traffic volume of over 9,000 vehicles. The presence of Pioneer Recreation & Sport Centre, shops and a growing residential community nearby has increased the demand for pedestrian facilities along this section of Hoon Hay Road.

5.3       Council staff have received feedback regarding the absence of a safe crossing facility for pedestrians and cyclists wishing to cross Hoon Hay Road near its intersection with Rose Street.

5.4       The Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System (CAS) was used to gain an understanding of any underlying safety issues at this location. In the five-year period 2018-2022 (inclusive), four crashes were recorded around this location. Of these crashes three were non-injury, one was fatal.  The fatal crash occurred in 2020 when a vehicle attempted to turn right into Rose Street from Hoon Hay Road while a cyclist travelling south on Hoon Hay Road turned left on to Rose Street. The crash occurred while both parties were turning into Rose Street. It is noted that sunstrike may have been a factor in the crash.

5.5       The non-injury crashes were right turn and rear-end type crashes. They occurred while turning into or out of Rose Street as well as when executing U-turns on Hoon Hay Road.

5.6       Though the crashes did not directly impact cyclists or pedestrians crossing Hoon Hay Road, the treatments proposed are expected to support the mitigation of risk associated with recent crash types that have occurred in the vicinity.

5.7       Based on feedback received during public consultation, staff are proposing time restricted parking spaces near 262 Hoon Hay Road and have worked with businesses to determine the proposed restrictions.

5.8       The project is being funded from the Minor Safety Interventions budget, which is used to fund low-cost safety improvements in the city’s local road network. This programme is focussed on delivering smaller scale projects which generally originate from community, requests that might otherwise struggle to get funded when ranked against other safety initiatives around the city.

5.9       Approval for the proposed improvements is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

5.10    If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year.

6.   Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1       In June 2023, all affected properties on Hoon Hay Road were door knocked and/or provided with a letter explaining the proposed works and inviting early feedback before public consultation.

6.1.1   Feedback was received from Better Life Dairy and Foo Sing Takeaways, at 262 Hoon Hay Road, who expressed concern that removing parking could negatively impact their business. As a result, Style Plus, Better Life Dairy and Foo Sing Takeaways were contacted by email with a proposal to install P10, P30 or P60 parking outside their businesses. P10 parking was desired.

6.2       Public consultation started on 7 June 2023 and ran until 27 June 2023. An email was sent to 11 key stakeholders:

·    Disabled Persons Assembly

·    Spokes

·    AA

·    Metro/Environment Canterbury

·    FENZ

·    St Johns

·    NZ Police

·    Spreydon Neighbourhood Network

·    Hoon Hay Community Association

·    Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whanau Tahi and,

·    Cashmere High School

 

6.3       The consultation was posted on the following Facebook pages inviting submissions:

·   Hillmorton - Spreydon - Hoon Hay Community page

·   Cashmere Neighbourhood

·   West Spreydon Neighbourhood Link

·   Spreydon Connection

·   Spreydon Neighbourhood Network

·   Cracroft Residents

·   Halswell/Westlake/Wigram/Aidanfield/Kennedys Bush Community Group

 

6.4       Following initial consultation, minor changes were made to the scheme design to make the intersection safer, with a focus on cyclists travelling along Hoon Hay Road. These changes included extending no stopping lines north and south along Hoon Hay Road. All affected properties were letter dropped, notifying them of the changes to the plans and inviting further feedback. Staff heard from one resident who asked for no stopping lines to be reduced on the south side of the intersection. Staff responded by explaining that reducing these lengths would compromise the safety benefits for cyclists. The submitter acknowledged the safety concerns and was accepting of the changes. Staff didn’t hear from any other letter dropped properties.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.5       Submissions were received from Spokes, Disabled Persons Assembly, Active Canterbury Network, NZ Police, Environment Canterbury, Better Life Dairy, Foo Sing Takeaways, and 34 individuals.

6.6       A full table of submission feedback is available in Attachment B.

6.7       23 submitters (60%), including Active Canterbury Network, NZ Police, Environment Canterbury and Spokes expressed support for the safety improvements for the following reasons:

6.7.1   General improvement to pedestrian safety and safe crossing habits.

6.7.2   Improvement to visibility for drivers and cyclists when turning from Rose Street onto Hoon Hay Road.

6.8       One submitter felt the design did not consider the incline of Rose Street up to Hoon Hay Road. They suggested moving the give way sign would make the intersection more dangerous as it would reduce line of sight.  The additional No Stopping restrictions which were added subsequent to the initial consultation will enhance the sightlines for waiting vehicles on the Rose Street approach.

6.9       16 submitters provided general comments about safety in the area and other requests to consider:

6.9.1   Foo Sing Takeaways and Better Life Dairy requested P10 car parks outside their business to increase turnover of cars, especially during rush hours (morning school run and after school). This has been included as a part of this project.

6.9.2   A pedestrian crossing on Lyttleton Street for those travelling to the local kura (Kaupapa Māori o Te Whanau Tahi). This location is outside the scope of this project but has been passed to the traffic engineer for this area.

6.9.3   A right-hand turning bay as part of the proposed flush median, to turn into Rose Street from Hoon Hay Road. There is insufficient road width to accommodate a right turning bay within the existing road space whilst providing adequate space for cyclists and parking.

6.9.4   Vertical traffic calming, such as raised safety platforms or speed humps, to manage speeding traffic from Hoon Hay Road onto Rose Street. The Council has a network-wide programme for reviewing speed limits to ensure roads are operating at safe and appropriate speeds. In time, Hoon Hay Road will be considered as part of this process.  In the interim it is expected that the refuge island will provide some assistance in managing speed through this area through visual narrowing of the road and highlighting the potential presence of pedestrians crossing in this location.

Rapaki Bay Drain - Name Change

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Paul Dickson, Drainage Engineer, Three Waters Unit

Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Nature of Issue and Report Origin

1.1       This report provides a recommend name change from Rapaki Bay Drain to Ōmaru (Stream)

1.2       This report has been prepared following a request by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke

1.3       The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  However, the name change is important to mana whenua.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board recommend to the Council:

1.         To accept the name change recommendation and that the name in the Council database is changed from Rapaki Bay Drain to Ōmaru. 

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       It was drawn to the writer’s attention by the General Manager, Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke that the major hillside stream in Rapaki is mis-named in council communications.  The stream, which runs through the marae, is known to the council as Rapaki Bay Drain.

3.2       The stream is known to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke as Ōmaru.

3.3       Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke General Manager comments, “according to our sources the stream is most likely named after Marukaitātea, a brother of Makō who married Te Rakiwhakaputa’s eldest daughter Te Ropuake.” Ōmaru means the place of Maru.

3.4       The inception of “Rapaki Bay Drain” is unknown, but like many waterways within Christchurch it may have acquired a name of convenience on a Banks Peninsula District Council maintenance schedule.

3.5       There is no sufficient reason to retain the name by which the stream is known to the Council and reversion to the original name is recommended.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       Retention of the current local authority-derived name.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       Community views have not been sought.  This is because the name change is principally a matter of importance to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke.

5.2       The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

5.2.1   Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula.

6.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1       Introduced at the request of and in recognition of the cultural values of Te Hapu o Ngati Wheke.

6.2       This report does not support (is not relevant to) the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031).

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3       The decision is not inconsistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.4       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.

6.5       The decision involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga

6.6       The decision involves an element of rangatiratanga within the takiwā.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.7       The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6.8       The decision does not involve the creation or removal of greenhouse gases.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.9       Not relevant

7.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1       Cost to Implement – minor staff time.

7.2       Maintenance/Ongoing costs - nil

7.3       Funding Source – not relevant

Other He mea anō

7.4       None

8.   Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa

8.1       The stream does not have an official name conferred under the New Zealand Geographic Board (Ngā Pou Taunaha o Aotearoa) Act 2008.  The Council is not able to make such a decision, as this is the role of the New Zealand Geographic Board.

8.2       The decision requested is to change the name by which a natural feature is recorded in council databases. 

8.3       Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke has indicated that it will seek to have the name Ōmaru made official by the New Zealand Geographic Board.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.4       There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

9.   Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1       No known risks.

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Council to make a decision on the short term option to manage the city's kerbside organics.

1.2       This report is intended to support the Council to deliberate on both written submissions and deputations following public consultation.

1.3       The decision in this report is of high significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by this decision being a short-term solution to organics management until 2027-2029 while a permanent solution is being developed. The odour from the current facility directly impacts the Bromley community, however the decision impacts the organics processing for the whole Christchurch district. The public consultation summary outlined in this report reflects this assessment.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1.         Agree to make, as soon as reasonably practicable, the following changes to its short-term management and processing of mixed kerbside organics (this being Option 5 in the Council’s consultation with the community):

a.         Continue using the Organics Processing Plant site at Bromley for the first stage processing which entails:

i.          the wholly indoors activity of receipt and tunnel processing of the mixed kerbside organics;

ii.         no intended outdoor storage of partially processed compost or fully processed compost; and

iii.        loading trucks from the tunnels indoors at the Organics Processing Plant site to transport partially processed compost to another site for the second stage of the processing.

b.         Contract with Waste Management to undertake that second stage processing at Kate Valley in the following way: maturation in outdoor windrows, screening and selling the finished compost.

2.         Delegate to the Manager Resource Recovery to make a variation and any subsequent variations and extensions to the existing Organics Processing Plant contract required for the first stage processing to be completed at the current site.

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       At the 21 June 2023 Council meeting (item 5), the Council considered a report on proposed interim options for processing the Council's kerbside organics that could be quickly implemented while the long term solution is being developed. At that meeting, the Council resolved that its preference is to end the current composting activity at the Bromley site as soon as practicable, noting that offensive and objectionable odour has still occurred beyond the boundary of the site.

3.2       The Council also resolved to engage with the community and mana whenua seeking views on options which staff had identified as most feasible to implement at the earliest opportunity. Consultation has now concluded, and staff have analysed the submissions.

3.3       A decision is required by the Council on the short-term management and processing of mixed kerbside organics until a permanent organics processor is in place, which is expected to be 2027-2029.

 

4.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

Background

4.1       The existing Organics Processing Plant (OPP) site receives all of the Council’s kerbside collected garden waste and food organics - approximately 55,000 tonnes pa, plus 5,000 tonnes pa from the Waimakariri District Council. The Council-owned facility is managed by Waste Management which operates as Living Earth.

4.2       There is a long history of complaints about odour from the OPP site in Bromley from some residents living in nearby areas. Residents have told us the odour has a negative effect on their health and quality of life.

4.3       Discharge of odour from the site is authorised by an air discharge consent under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA) held by the Council and issued by Environment Canterbury (ECan). A condition of the consent is that there shall not be an offensive or objectionable odour beyond the boundary of the site.

4.4       ECan enforcement officers have assessed offensive and objectionable odours beyond the boundary of the site on six dates (19 December 2022, 10 January 2023, 15 January 2023, 26 January 2023, 31 January 2023 and 1 March 2023).

4.5       Further proactive monitoring by the Council’s odour consultants Pattle Delamore Partners (PDP) has identified offensive and objectionable odour beyond the boundary of the site on seven additional dates throughout 2023 (2 February 2023, 10 February 2023, 6 April 2023, 13 May 2023, 1 June 2023, 31 July 2023, and 18 August 2023). Whilst it is not the objective of the Council to completely remove all risk, the objective is to be reasonably satisfied that the risk is mitigated to a reasonable level.

4.6       Living Earth have made significant changes to site operation since March 2020, in co-operation with the requests by Council staff to reduce the risk of offensive and objectionable odours beyond the boundary of the site (as detailed in the 21 June 2023 report to Council, with an additional update on actions undertaken to reduce the odour on 2 August 2023). However, the operational improvements have not completely removed the risk of there being an offensive and objectionable odour beyond the site boundary.

 

Long term solution

4.7       The long-term solution is projected to be commissioned and operational by December 2026, subject to the resource consenting timeline. All of Council’s mixed kerbside organics are expected to be processed at the new facility by January 2027. A separate report on the long-term solution is being considered by the Council at this meeting.

5.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

5.1       Five options to manage mixed kerbside organics until a permanent solution is established were shortlisted from a longlist of 23 alternative locations and 20 different processing options. The options were assessed against criteria, including whether the solution addressed the odour issue, and its emissions, costs, and feasibility. The complete (longlist) of options is available online at  www.letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/organics.

5.2       The five options that we consulted on were identified as the most feasible to have in place at the earliest opportunity:

5.2.1   Option 1 - Alternative processing - Send all mixed kerbside organics to an alternative, or several alternative, composting plants and worm farms.

5.2.2   Option 2 - Kate Valley Landfill - Send all mixed kerbside organics to Kate Valley Landfill.

5.2.3   Option 3 - Continue at the Organics Processing Plant - Stay at the current location with an additional outdoor screen.

5.2.4   Option 4 - Reduce the amount of material going to the Organics Processing Plant - Minimising the need for outdoor storage of material.

5.2.5   Option 5 - Partial processing of material at the Organics Processing Plant - First stage of composting done indoors at the plant with second-stage processing done off-site.

Analysis of options

5.3       An explanation of what each of the option would entail plus the implications, including timeframes, cost and greenhouse gas emissions, was included in the consultation material: Where should we send our green bin organics?. This was further summarised in the Short term kerbside organics consultation document ‘Compare the options’ table, page 14), as below:

A table with green and white squares

Description automatically generated

Figure 1. ‘Compare the options’ table, page 14, Short term kerbside organics consultation document.

 

5.4       Staff have analysed the submissions from the engagement with the Bromley community, the wider Christchurch community and mana whenua (see the below section on Community Views and Preferences). The desire to continue processing kerbside organics was strongly reflected in the consultation feedback.

5.5       Offensive and objectionable odour risk: a 100 per cent assurance of no offensive and objectionable odour beyond the boundary is not possible for any option. Accidents or mishaps happen. The Council and operator will do everything reasonably practicable to minimise that risk.

5.6       Timing: The contract with the current operator expires in January 2024. Only Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP and Option 3 – Continue at the OPP with an additional outdoor screen can be implemented by the contract expiry. Any other option would likely need to go to market. A contract could be awarded in April 2024 with a July 2024 start date, contingent on a consented and suitable site being available.

5.7       Consenting requirements: For Option 1 – Alternative processing, Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill and Option 4 – Reduce the amount of material going to the OPP (if Option 4 involves disposal at Kate Valley Landfill) all necessary regulatory consents and approvals would need to be obtained. This would add an additional 6 to 12 months to the timeline.

5.8       Transport: for all options (except Option 3 status quo) have a risk of transport delays with the movement of material between two or more sites. For these options, the operator will need to have contingency plans in place.

5.9       Transfer stations: Option 1 – Alternative processing and Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill require a transfer station to handle the waste for transport to another site. Suggested transfer stations are below:

·   Current site – The OPP processing hall is likely to require a land use consent under the District Plan for a restricted discretionary activity for breaching the high trip generation rule. Given the existing operation occurring, site location and the access from a major arterial road, this application should be straightforward and achievable within six months. It would not require a new consent from ECan.

·   EcoDrop transfer stations – It is unlikely that this material can be managed at these locations due to odour risk (non-compliance with a permitted activity requirement), spreading the risk of odour from one to three locations around the city and health and safety risks due to additional trucks movements.

·   An enclosed commercial facility – this would require Council to go to the market for an alternative transfer station (see timing in paragraph 5.5 above).

Alternative option for first stage processing - leave the current site

5.10    Under this option, first stage processing would no longer be done at the current OPP site. The Council would need to go to the market for a new local operator.

5.11    If actioned immediately the procurement process would conclude by April 2024 with a contract start date of July 2024. This is contingent on a consented and suitable site being available. The long-term organics processing solution procurement process did not identify a suitable site with an existing consent. At this stage the costs are estimated to be similar to going to market for a second stage processor, which is $32 million over the five-year period.

5.12    The current OPP site would continue to be used for first stage processing until the alternative site is ready, with a contract variation being required.

Alternative option for second stage processing – to go to market

5.13    Under this option, the Council would go to the market for a local operator to do second stage processing.

5.14    The long-term solution procurement process was open to the market during an Expression of Interest stage. The Council has also received interest from potential interim option suppliers.

5.15    If the Council decides to go to the market for the second stage processing, staff have prepared a procurement plan (Attachment B).

5.16    If actioned immediately the procurement process would conclude in April 2024 with a contract start date of July 2024. This is contingent on a consented and suitable site being available.

5.17    It is estimated that an alternative operator for second stage processing would be up to $30.6 million more than the current five-year cost to do second stage processing at Kate Valley Landfill, based upon the consultation costings. This estimation accounts for purchasing a new site, applying for a new resource consent and constructing a new facility.

5.18    This is not the preferred option for second stage processing as Waste Management’s proposal to use Kate Valley Landfill has a significantly shorter timeline to implement, a significantly lower cost and the availability of the necessary plant, equipment, and resource consent.

6.   Recommended option

6.1       The recommended option for the short-term management of kerbside organics is a version of Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP, with second stage processing done offsite. The option will continue to be a two-stage process with the first stage processing at the current OPP site in Bromley. The second stage processing is proposed to be undertaken fully at Kate Valley Landfill.

6.2       This option is preferred as the risk of offensive and objectionable odour was assessed as being nil based upon no outdoor storage (Attachment A); it has the lowest greenhouse gas emissions of the options; overall it has support of the community based upon the consultation; and can be expected to be implemented by April 2024.

6.3       It is estimated to cost an additional $276,000 per annum (i.e., $1.38 million over five years) to the existing operation, which has been requested through the Long-Term Plan. This projected cost is related to transport payloads and assumes the worst case. These costs could be reduced if the contractor can achieve an improvement in payloads. The other options in the consultation ranged from an additional $32 million to $166 million over the five-year period.

First stage processing – At the current Organics Processing Plant

6.4       The existing Bromley site will continue to be used for the first stage processing:

6.4.1   All processing at the current site will be completed indoors with no movement of material between buildings i.e., the processing hall and screening shed. Trucks will deposit inside the processing hall, the material will be processed and then trucks will be loaded directly from the tunnels, again inside the processing hall.

6.4.2   There is the risk of transport delays for this option, as there is for all options, and the operator will have contingency plans in place for this.

6.4.3   No intended outdoor storage of partially or fully processed compost. The contingency plans will need to consider both potential system failures and operational disruptions to ensure the potential for outdoor storage is minimised.

6.4.4   Staff will continue to work with Living Earth to mitigate odour risks and continue to engage Council’s odour consultant’s PDP to conduct proactive odour monitoring. 

6.4.5   Living Earth’s contract expires in January 2024. Staff are requesting delegation for a contract variation to facilitate this option at this meeting.

Second stage processing – Current contractor’s Kate Valley Landfill proposal

6.5       Waste Management have proposed to undertake the second stage of processing at Kate Valley Landfill:

6.5.1   Material will be loaded into trucks directly from the tunnels inside the processing hall, requiring two to three additional trucks per day.

6.5.2   At Kate Valley Landfill the compost will be matured in windrows, screened, and then sold to the market.

6.5.3   Some trucks will be backloaded with tailings to support the first stage processing at the OPP. Tailings are the oversized wood materials generated during screening of the mature compost. Tailings provide additional structure to the material being composted in the tunnels improving the airflow during the stage 1 processing. 

6.6       These activities are within the permitted activities for the landfill, but Transwaste are currently applying for a variation to their resource consent with Hurunui District Council for truck movement volumes.

6.7       This proposal is expected to be able to be implemented by April 2024.

Current site and existing contract

6.8       Living Earth’s contract expires in January 2024. Therefore, staff are requesting delegation for a contract variation to facilitate this option.

Managing the current peak season

6.9       As of Monday 6 November, work has begun at the OPP to manage the current peak season volumes. Material being stored outside, and compost directly from the tunnels is being transported to Kate Valley Landfill to be used as a landfill capping material. Living Earth expect to clear the material currently being stored outside by the end of December.

7.   Community Views and Preferences / Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation / Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

7.1       Public consultation on the five potential interim options was open for feedback from 30 August 2023 – 1 October 2023. Submitters could provide feedback online. The Korero mai | Let’s talk webpage was extremely well visited with 41,764 views by 16,616 unique visitors and 41 documents were downloaded 816 times. 

7.2       An email was sent to 230 local and city-wide stakeholders, including Bromley businesses closest to the OPP and over 1,000 previous submitters on the ‘More choice for your bins’ consultation. Follow up emails targeted the Council people’s panel subscribers and Bromley resident and business newsletter subscribers, totalling a further 25,000 recipients.

7.3       A marketing campaign for the consultation included digital, print, radio, and outdoor advertising. Posters were displayed in local food outlets. 

7.4       Webinars were held on 13 September 2023 and attended by approximately 47 people. Staff responded to residents’ enquiries throughout the consultation period. 

7.5       Bromley residents in the odour plume area were delivered hard copy consultation documents. The Council’s odour consultant’s PDP determined the odour plume area as a radius from the OPP based upon confirmed detections of offensive and objectionable odour through ECan and their own odour assessments.

7.6       Overall, we heard from 2,764 submitters. Submitters were mostly Christchurch residents, however 44 indicated that they do not live in Christchurch (the majority were from Selwyn and Waimakariri Districts).

7.7       Submitters were asked to read the information on each of the five potential interim options, and then rank them from their most preferred (1) to their least preferred (5).

7.8       On 8 November 2023, the Council heard deputations from 33 submitters (item 3). At that meeting, the Council was also provided a summary of the written submissions (item 6 of the Agenda). Councillors asked questions during the meeting, and the staff responses to those questions are attached (Attachment D).

7.9       The community preferences are further summarised below:

7.9.1   The majority of submitters (n=1,401) indicated that Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP was their preferred option, followed by Option 3 – Continue at the OPP.

7.9.2   Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill was the least preferred option, with submitters indicating a strong preference for a solution which ensures we are still composting most of our mixed kerbside organics.

7.9.3   A prominent concern amongst submitters was the cost of options and the impact these could have on their rates. Ultimately the cost of the options was a large consideration for submitters when selecting their preferred options. 

7.9.4   Submitters also highlighted the importance of considering the impact on the environment when weighing up options.

Feedback from the Bromley community

7.10    Feedback from Bromley residents highlights that they are united on the fact that they want to see action taken to address the odour but have varying views on the best way to go about this. 

7.11    Although the Bromley community supported the Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill as their first preference, Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP received the highest ranking overall through the scoring system applied to the ranking of the options.

7.12    Some Bromley residents are also concerned about the financial and environmental impacts. In this instance, they feel that Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP tends to strike the right balance between addressing the odour issue and minimising the financial impact on households.

Feedback from the Community Boards

7.13    The decision affects all Christchurch residents but particularly the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board when considering the risk of offensive and objectionable odour from the plant affecting the local community.

7.14    Four of our six community boards provided feedback on the short-term options:

7.14.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood

7.14.2 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

7.14.3 Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood

7.14.4 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote

7.15    These community boards ranked Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP as their preferred option, with the exception of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood community board who ranked Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill as their preferred option.

7.16    The community boards ranked Option 3 – Continue operating at the OPP as their least preferred option, with the exception of Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton who only ranked one option (Option 5).

Mana whenua engagement

7.17    The Council engaged with Whitiora Centre Limited on behalf of Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga to provide comments on the consultation material. The advice received from Whitiora was that:

7.17.1 the option needs to be effective in addressing the odour issues experienced by the community in as short a time as possible;

7.17.2 Ngāi Tūāhuriri does not support the transportation of organic waste to the North Island;

7.17.3 Ngāi Tūāhuriri does not support Option 3 – Continue at the OPP, where the risk for odour remains; and

7.17.4 There is preference to avoid any significant impact on rates for the community.

Te Mana Ora Community & Public Health feedback

7.18    Feedback from Te Mana Ora Community & Public Health on behalf of the National Public Health Service and Te Whatu Ora Waitaha indicated that, in their view, Option 2 – Kate Valley Landfill is the most suitable short-term solution for odour reduction but noted that it is not a suitable long-term solution. 

7.19    The submission identifies the impacts of “long-term exposure to odorous compounds on the nearby community”, noting that any public health recommendations need to take into account the “prolonged exposure that has occurred to date”.

7.20    An accompanying technical report, prepared by a senior scientist at The Institute of Environmental Science and Research (ESR), discusses the odour risk of the lower maturity compost that is produced with the removal of outdoor maturation in windrows. The report provides a view that “the peak processing demands at Organics Processing Plant adversely affect the management of the composting operation, as the duration of compost residence in the tunnel is reduced to accommodate the larger volumes of material”.

7.21    ESR’s assessment of the options concludes that many of the short-term options would have the same potential for odour as the status quo, and ceasing to operate at the site would be the best way to mitigate complaints about odour.

7.22    ESR commented on Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP that the limiting factor would be processing capacity during peak season and no contingency plan for equipment malfunction could lead to stockpiles. However, in response, Living Earth are confident that with its Kate Valley proposal maturing the compost further off site that this would address the processing capacity concerns. In addition, equipment malfunction historically has been associated with the screening stage of the operation and this will be relocated off site.

7.23    Staff have provided the below response addressing the odour risks presented by ESR:

Temporary storage of material outside

7.23.1 Staff acknowledge a major source of odour during the first peak season operating under the Transitional Plan was the temporary storage of material outside for screening after the first stage processing in the tunnels.

7.23.2 Since March 2023 and the end of the first peak season, Living Earth and Council staff have been developing a ‘Lessons Learnt’ register and a revised operations plan. Analysing operational variables such as input levels, input mixture (e.g., arsenic contamination during winter), input weights, available tunnel time and tailing compositions, throughout the different seasons and how to manage these variables as efficiently as possible. In addition, this document reviews proposed mitigations from Council’s odour consultant’s PDP.

7.23.3 Staff’s recommended option of Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP intends to remove the odour risk of material temporarily being stored outside, with all processing to be completed indoors and no compost to be stored outside (other than for unintended mishaps).

7.23.4 As of 6 November 2023, for the upcoming peak season, work has begun at the site to clear material temporarily being stored outside as detailed in paragraph 6.9.

Tunnel residence time & maturity of compost produced

7.23.5 Staff’s recommended option of Option 5 – Partial processing of material at the OPP removes the odour risk from a reduced tunnel residence time during peak processing demands and the lower maturity compost produced. Option 5 removes all material from site directly from the tunnels and inside the processing hall, negating the impact of a lower maturity compost being temporarily stored outside before screening. The compost is matured further at an offsite location. Staff recommend this offsite location is Kate Valley Landfill in line with Waste Management’s proposal.

Support and/or Relief to Affected Residents

7.24    At Council’s meeting on 21 June 2023, the Council requested staff consider and report back to the Council by 2 August 2023 on options for providing support and/or relief to those households directly impacted by any offensive and objectionable odours from the OPP. Subsequently, the Council requested staff to report back once options for an interim solution had been considered.

7.25    Staff have considered options for providing support and/or relief in the forms of rates remissions, cash grants, household odour mitigation (deodorisers) and community support activities. In assessing these options, staff have considered that any support and/or relief would be relatively minor and the impact low. Issues were also identified, such as rates remissions benefitting the house owner and not necessarily the occupier. The anecdotal feedback received from community is a strong desire to see the plant cease operation as soon as possible, rather than allocate time and resources to relief. Staff are therefore not recommending any packages at this stage.

8.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

8.1       This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031):

8.2       Solid Waste and Resource Recovery

8.2.1   Activity: Solid Waste and Resource Recovery

·     Level of Service: 8.2.5 Consent compliance for operation of Council's Organics Processing Plant - No major or persistent breaches of consents

·     Level of Service: 8.2.7 Organic materials collected by Kerbside Collection and received for processing at the Organics Processing Plant (OPP) - 140kg +40%/-10% organic materials / person / year collected by Kerbside Collection

·     Level of Service: 8.2.1 Total organic material collected at Council facilities and diverted for composting - > 200kg + 30% / - 10% / person / year  

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

8.3       The decision is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies, including the Council’s Waste Management and Minimisation Plan and the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 - The purpose of this Act is to encourage waste minimisation and a decrease in waste disposal in order to (a) protect the environment from harm; and (b) provide environmental, social, economic, and cultural benefits.

8.4       However, this option is inconsistent with the Council’s district emissions targets included in the Climate Resilience Strategy - to halve greenhouse gas emissions (and reduce methane emissions by 25%) by 2030, as it represents an increase over baseline emissions. This is discussed in paragraphs 8.7 – 8.10 below.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

8.5       A decision to cease composting, or to substantially reduce the amount of composting, would be 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.

8.6       Staff provided mana whenua an opportunity to provide feedback on the proposed options through Whitiora Centre Limited. Whitiora is mandated to provide strategic advice on behalf of Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga. The advice is discussed in paragraph 0 above.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

8.7       The recommendation in this report is unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

8.8       It will however have a negative impact on reaching the district’s greenhouse gas emissions targets. Council’s district emissions targets call for a 50% reduction from the baseline financial year 2016/2017 levels, and at least a 25% reduction in methane by 2030. The recommended option represents an increase in emissions from our current organics processing baseline.

8.9       The Council engaged consultants WSP to build upon the initial greenhouse gas calculations prepared by Council for the longlist of options and to assess the shortlist of options (Attachment C). Aside from the status quo option (Option 3), the recommended option had the lowest increase in greenhouse gas emissions of the other options.

8.10    The estimated increase of greenhouse gas emissions from the recommended option is approximately 104 tonnes CO2 -e. However, this estimate was based on a ‘local’ processing location, so there is likely to be significantly higher emissions generated by transporting the organics to Kate Valley Landfill for second stage processing.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

8.11    There are no accessibility considerations for this decision. All Christchurch residents will continue to have their green bins collected and organics material composted.

9.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

9.1       Cost to Implement – No cost.

9.2       Maintenance/Ongoing costs - $276,000 per annum. $1.38 million over five years.

9.3       Funding Source – Additional costs requested through the Long-Term Plan.

10. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa

10.1    The Council has the authority to make this decision.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

10.2    There have been breaches of the Council’s resource consent for the discharge of odour to air at the OPP. That risk of breaches will continue if there is outdoor storage of material at the OPP. Staff’s recommended option of Option 5 – Partial processing at the OPP involves no outdoor storage.

10.3    The Council’s contract with the current operator of the OPP expires in January 2024. As noted above, the Council has no reasonable option but to continue stage 1 processing at this site past that date. The Council will need to negotiate a contract extension with the current operator if an option is selected that requires use of the current site.

11. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

11.1    The well-considered and comprehensive assessment of options and merits of those options, together with learning the views of the community, which has led to this report, reduces the risk of challenges to the Council’s processes.

11.2    Potential impact on residential behaviour is a significant risk. Changes to the processing (e.g., organics to landfill) could undermine residential recycling. Behaviour change takes time to implement and can have long-term impacts. An example of this was during the Covid lockdown when residents were able to put rubbish into their recycling bin. This was only meant to be for the lockdown period but the impact of the change in behaviour has been extensive. It has taken 2.5 years of marketing messaging since then to achieve 99% of trucks being recycled. The cost of this to the Council has been considerable, at approximately $3.6 million ($3.1 million for trucks to landfill and $500,000 for marketing spend).

11.3    If organics material was sent to landfill there is a high likelihood that residents will start using the green bin as an extra rubbish bin. The resulting change would be likely to result in organics mixed with waste and would be likely difficult to remedy once the long-term solution is in place. Option 5 – Partial processing at the OPP does not have that risk if messaging is clear that the material is being composted at Kate Valley Landfill.

11.4    Waste Management’s proposal is a permitted activity under Kate Valley Landfill’s resource consent but a variation to the resource consent is required for the increased truck movement volumes. Waste Management are confident the variation will be granted but this option does carry the risk that the variation is required to deliver the proposal.

11.5    A 100 per cent assurance of no offensive and objectionable odour is not possible for any options. Accidents happen. Unanticipated problems occur for any option. The Council and operator, will be doing everything reasonably practicable to minimise that risk.

Consideration of other compost operators

11.6    Staff have considered alternative second stage processing sites within Canterbury. One operator, Intelligro, has indicated their desire to advance their business expansion by securing the kerbside material during the interim period. The kerbside material would be processed at a new site they would establish within 6 to 12 months of any contract award, contingent on resource consent. The processing methodology would involve static pile aeriation with open windrow turning and a forced ground air system. The site is on the edge of the city and has a reported 3km buffer zone perimeter. The processing equipment is modelled on experienced overseas operations and would be delivered as a turnkey project.  At the end of the interim contract period Intelligro would then use the new site to support their existing composting business. Costs associated with the Intelligro approach would have to be tested through a procurement process. This approach is not recommended as the proposal from the existing contractor can be implemented in a shorter timeframe.

11.7    Canterbury Landscape Services have also been considered but would require a change in their resource consent(s) to allow them to accept the food waste alongside greenwaste. This approach is not recommended as the proposal from the existing contractor can be implemented in a shorter timeframe.

19.   Plan Change 14 Independent Hearings Panel Process Update

Reference / Te Tohutoro:

23/1967829

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Brent Pizzey, Senior Legal Counsel, Public, Regulatory & Litigation
(brent.pizzey@ccc.govt.nz)

Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Lynn McClelland, Assistant Chief Executive Strategic Policy and Performance (lynn.mcclelland@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       Council officers recommend asking the Minister for the Environment to set a new date for resuming the hearing and completing Plan Change 14. That will enable the Council to place Plan Change 14 on hold until legislative change occurs.

1.2       The government intends to change the Resource Management Act, making Medium Density Residential Standards optional, and other changes.

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 the decision sought being one about process and use of Council resources, rather than about the merits of any plan changes.

1.4       The Council proposed Plan Change 14 because the Resource Management Act required it to implement Medium Density Residential Standards and implement policies 3 and 4 of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development. The new government intends to make implementing the medium density residential standards optional. We do not know what exactly the changes will be or when they will be made. In the meantime, the Council must continue with Plan Change 14 to meet a Gazette Notice requirement that the Council makes a decision by 12 September 2024 (Attachment A).

1.5       The hearing by the Independent Hearings Panel is scheduled to resume on 30 January continuing into February with a total of 6 further hearing days.  A quick request to the Minister to issue an amended Gazette Notice could avoid the need for that hearing continuing.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1.         Request that the Minister for the Environment give urgency to issue a Gazette Notice under section 80M of the Resource Management Act 1991 requiring that the Plan Change 14 hearing not recommence until after a date set by the Minister, and extending the 12 September 2024 date by which the Council must make a decision on the Independent Hearings Panel recommendations.

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       The Council notified Plan Change 14 to implement Medium Density Residential Standards (to enable 3 houses per site up to 3 storeys) as directed in the Resource Management Act and to implement policies 3 and 4 of the National Policy Statement for Urban Development that requires greater heights and densities of development in and around the Central City and commercial centres.

3.2       The government’s coalition agreement states that the government intends to make the medium density residential standards optional for councils. That would need a change to the law. We do not know when those changes will be made, what new direction may be proposed to replace this, nor what if any changes may be proposed to the National Policy Statement on Urban Development.

3.3       In the meantime, the Council must comply with the current Act and direction in the National Policy Statement, and with the Minister’s Gazette Notice direction (Attachment A) that the Council make a decision by 12 September 2024 on recommendations of the Independent Hearings Panel. The Act does not allow the Council to withdraw Plan Change 14.

3.4       To meet that 12 September deadline, the hearing will be resuming on 30 January and the Independent Hearings Panel will be making a recommendation to the Council by 30 April 2024. That work may not be necessary as central government will be changing the legislative basis for the Council decision to include Medium Density Residential Standards in Plan Change 14. The Council might then want to reconsider the content of its plan change.

3.5       Officers will report back to Council when central government announces its legislative programme and we know more about the nature of the intended changes. There may be aspects of Plan Change 14 that the Council still wishes to pursue. The best time to assess what aspects of the plan change to still pursue will be when Council knows more about the legislative changes. The streamlined Plan Change 14 process is likely to be available only for a plan change that includes the medium density residential standards and implements the National Policy Statement. If Council wishes to discontinue with those, but to continue with other aspects of the plan change, a standard RMA process will probably be needed.

3.6       Plan Change 14 largely duplicates Plan Change 13 (Heritage). The Council’s intent has been to hold a hearing on Plan Change 13 after a Council decision on Plan Change 14.  It remains appropriate to leave Plan Change 13 on hold until we know more about progressing Plan Change 14.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       An option is to not ask the Minister for a direction that would enable placing the hearing on hold. The result would be for the Independent Hearings Panel to continue with a hearing, deliberations and recommendations, and a Council decision thereafter – while the legislation is being changed in a manner that would enable and warrant Council reconsideration and withdrawal or change to Plan Change 14.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       This decision is not about the merits of Plan Change 14. It is solely about whether the Council should seek the opportunity to place Plan Change 14 on hold until the government’s changes to the law are known. When those changes are known, the Council can reconsider whether to continue with, change or withdraw Plan Change 14.

5.2       The Resource Management Act required the Council to appoint an Independent Hearings Panel to hear submissions on Plan Change 14. The legislation does not allow for the Council to stop that hearing or to withdraw the plan change.

5.3       The Minister issued a Gazette Notice under sections 80L and 80M of the Resource Management Act that required the Council to notify decisions on the Panel’s recommendations on Plan Change 14 by 12 September 2024.  The Minister can amend that direction either on her initiative or on the request of the Council.

5.4       Section 80L of the Act enables the Minister to direct the Council in relation to “1 or more periods of time within which the specified territorial authority must complete 1 or more stages of the ISPP”. The Minister has done that for the date of the Council decision (Attachment A). The Minister can amend that direction, and set a date for the hearing to recommence that in effect places the hearing on hold, under section 80M of the Act.

5.5       The decision affects all wards/Community Board areas.

6.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

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

6.2       Governance

6.2.1   Activity: Governance and decision-making

·     Level of Service: 4.1.28.3 Establish and maintain documented governance processes that ensure compliance with the local government legislation  - Governance processes are maintained and published on council's website.  

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3       The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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 not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

6.5       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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.6       The decision in this report is unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions as it is a decision about process, not about the content of the District Plan.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.7       There are no accessibility considerations.

7.   Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1       There are no Capex costs.

7.2       Opex costs are increased because of the new government’s intended changes to the Resource Management Act. Those changes will warrant the Council to revisit its decision making on proceeding with Plan Change 14. Increased costs will be incurred for both options – both continuing with the hearing, or stopping the hearing, and then the Council changing its position and amending its proposed plan change when the legislation changes.

7.3       The increased costs cannot be estimated yet. There is uncertainty about:

·        Council’s ability to continue using the special process for Plan Change 14, which was placed in the Resource Management Act for the express purpose of implementing medium density residential standards;

·        The matters that Council would wish to pursue; and

·        The government’s proposal to amend the Resource Management Act to streamline the plan change process, which may reduce the costs of plan changes.

 

7.4       It is appropriate to wait until Council knows more about the legislative programme before recommending starting a separate plan change process for parts of Plan Change 14.

8.   Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

Statutory power to undertake proposals in the report Te Manatū Whakahaere Kaupapa

8.1       The statutory power is described above.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.2       There is no other legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

9.   Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1       There is no risk in making this request of the Minister.

9.2       It is possible that the some of the Independent Hearing Panel commissioners are unable to continue in the role if the hearing is delayed; however, as it seems likely that the outcome of this process will be an amended plan change being started in a different process, that risk is of low consequence.

10. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

10.1    The Mayor or Acting Chief Executive makes the request of the Minister as soon as possible. The last 2023 date for publishing the New Zealand Gazette is 21 December 2023. The next date is 10 January 2024.

10.2    If the Minister issues that Notice, officers will report back on options for progressing parts or all of plan change 14 when the coalition government announces more about its intended legislative changes.

20.   Central Plains Water Trust - Amendment of Trust Deed

Reference / Te Tohutoro:

23/1899656

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Linda Gibb, Performance Advisor, Resources Group (linda.gibb@ccc.govt.nz)

Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:

Russell Holden, Acting General Manager Resources/Chief Financial Officer (russell.holden@ccc.govt.nz)

 

 

1.   Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       This report seeks the Council's approval of minor changes to the Central Plains Water Trust's (the Trust's) Deed of Declaration of Trust (the Deed).

1.2       The report has been written following the Central Plains Water Joint Committee's (JC's) recommendation at its meeting on 10 November 2023 that shareholding councils approve the Trust's request for the changes to the Deed.

1.3       The Trust is a Council-controlled organisation (CCO) of which the Christchurch City and Selwyn District councils are joint shareholders, pursuant to the Deed dated 9 October 2012. The shareholding councils conduct their governance responsibilities via the JC.  The JC does not have decision-making rights.  It makes recommendations to the Trust’s two council shareholders, which must be approved by both councils for them to take effect.

1.4       The draft Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust (Deed of Variation) is at Attachment A to this report.  The changes (shown as track changes in the Deed of Variation) are minor, as recorded in the following draft resolution of the JC:

That the CPW Joint Committee: Moved – Councillor Peters / Seconded – Councillor Reid

1.   Ask Buddle Findlay for a clean copy [of the amended Deed] with amendments as below:

·    previous clause 14.5 (current draft clause 17.5) stated that the Trustees will report on its affairs quarterly.  The Trust would like this changed to six monthly;

·    previous clause 14.7 (current draft clause 17.7) stated that a summary of report would be published in newspapers. The Trust would like this amended to read it would be publicly available on the website; and

·    the Trust would like to see previous clauses 14.8 and 14.9 removed (current draft clauses 17.8 and 17.9) as they are a practice of the past; and

2.   Recommend that the Settlor Councils approve the amendments in time for the CPW Trust Annual General Meeting.

CARRIED

1.5       There are technical amendments also included in the draft (but which are not track changed) which reflect the Trusts Act 2019.  These have been incorporated into the Deed of Variation on the recommendation of the Trust’s legal advisers.  However, their inclusion is for completeness as the Trust must comply with the Trusts Act 2019 in any event.

1.6       The Council’s Legal Services Unit has reviewed the Deed of Variation and engaged with the Trust’s legal adviser to satisfy itself that the draft amendments are legally sound.

1.7       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 estimating the extent to which the changes might impact the community.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Council:

1.         Approves the following changes to the Central Plains Water Trust Deed to:

a)      amend clause 14.5 (clause 17.5 in the draft Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust) for reporting to shareholders to become six monthly rather than quarterly;

b)      amend clause 14.7 (clause 17.7 in the draft Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust) to provide that a summary of the annual report will be published on the Central Plains Water Trust’s website and delete the requirement for it to be published in newspapers circulating in the regions;

c)       delete clause 14.8 (clause 17.8 in the draft Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust) requiring annual reports to be placed in public libraries in the regions; and

d)      delete clause 14.9 (clause 17.9 in the draft Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust) requiring a public meeting to be held within four months of balance date.

2.         Approves minor technical amendments to the Central Plains Water Trust Deed to reflect the Trusts Act 2019;

3.         Agrees to execute a Deed of Variation of Deed of Declaration of Trust giving effect to the amendments noted in recommendations 1 and 2; and

4.         Notes that for changes to be made to the Central Plains Water Trust Deed, they must be agreed by both the Christchurch City Council and Selwyn District Council.

 

3.   Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1       To reduce transaction costs incurred by the Trust in meeting outdated administrative and governance requirements which are likely to provide little, if any benefit to stakeholders and the community.

 

4.   Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1       The alternative is to leave the Trust Deed unchanged; doing so poses no material risks.

5.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1       The Deed is now 11 years old, and some of its provisions are out of step with modern governance practices.  Continuing to meet them imposes costs on the Trust but offers little, if any benefit to stakeholder and community interests.

Staff comment

5.2       For each of the proposed amendments to the Deed (other than the technical ones relating to the Trusts Act 2019), the following is noted:

·    Reporting - section 66(3) of the LGA provides shareholders with the discretion to decide if quarterly reporting is to be sought from a CCO.  The Council does not seek quarterly reporting from its other trusts and small CCOs due to the relatively low financial impacts and narrow scopes of business engaged in.  The same circumstances apply to the Trust (note that the Council does not provide any funding to the Trust). 

·    Annual Reports – the LGA has been updated to remove the practice of placing copies of governance documents in libraries and publishing them or notifying their existence in newspapers.  Instead section 67(4) of the LGA provides that annual reports are to be published on an internet site maintained by or on behalf of the local authority.  Note that the Trust’s annual reports are published on both its and the Council’s websites.

·    Annual Meetings - the LGA does not require CCOs to hold annual meetings in public.  For CCOs that are not trusts, the requirement stems from the Companies Act 1993.  There is no legal requirement for a trust to hold a public meeting.  The Trust advises that there have been no attendees at its annual meetings in recent years.

5.3       The cost of meeting the Deed’s outdated requirements is material to the Trust as its annual budget is relatively small (circa. $120,000 per annum funded by Central Plains Water Ltd). 

6.   Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1       This report is not specifically related to the Council's Long Term Plan (2021 - 2031).

6.2       The decision in this report is not inconsistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies.

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 not 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       The proposed changes to the Deed are administrative only.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.6       The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions, as the recommended changes to the Deed impact administrative arrangements only.

9.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

9.1       If both council shareholders approve the changes to the Deed, it is expected they will be formally adopted by the Trust at its Annual General Meeting on 11 December 2023.

22.   Mayor's Report - LGNZ Special General Meeting

Reference / Te Tohutoro:

23/1836617

Report of / Te Pou Matua:

Phil Mauger, Mayor

 

 

1.   Purpose of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is to seek Council’s endorsement of Local Government New Zealand’s The Future by Local Government – A consensus outcome paper based on Choosing Localism.

1.2       This report has been compiled by the Office of the Mayor and Chief Executive.

2.   Mayor’s Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu o Te Koromatua

That the Council:

1.         Endorse Local Government New Zealand’s The Future by Local Government – A consensus outcome paper based on Choosing Localism; and

2.         Authorise the Mayor to vote in favour of adopting The Future by Local Government at Local Government New Zealand’s Special General Meeting on Monday 11 December.

3.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

3.1       Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) is an advocacy body made up of local councils whose membership fees support LGNZ’s work. The Council is a member of LGNZ.

3.2       LGNZ has analysed the Future for Local Government Review published in June 2023 and hosted two workshops with members to identify the recommendations which local government want to see progressed as part of any future local government reforms.

3.3       The Mayor attended the first workshop on 18 September and the Deputy Mayor attended the second workshop on 2 November.

3.4       LGNZ considered the outcomes of these two workshops and prepared a paper outlining how LGNZ would like to see the Future for Local Government Review implemented. This resulted in a document setting out LGNZ’s position, titled The Future by Local Government: A consensus outcome paper based on Choosing Localism (Attachment A).

3.5       The Future by Local Government sets out LGNZ’s vision for local government as achieving “thriving, resilient communities throughout Aotearoa New Zealand” and includes five proposals:

3.5.1   Build a new system of government that’s fit for purpose;

3.5.2   Rebalance the country’s tax take between central and local government;

3.5.3   Create stronger, more authentic relationships between local government and iwi, hapū and Māori;

3.5.4   Align central, regional and local government priorities; and

3.5.5   Strengthen local democracy and leadership.

3.6       The Future by Local Government will be presented to an online Special General Meeting (SGM) of LGNZ members for their consideration on 11 December.

3.7       On 15 November, Council appointed the Mayor as the primary delegate to vote on behalf of the Christchurch City Council, and appointed the Deputy Mayor as the alternate delegate.

3.8       LGNZ’s SGM will consider a single motion:

That LGNZ adopt The Future by Local Government (attachment A) and use this as the basis for engagement and advocacy with central government on local government system reform.

3.9       It is recommended that Council endorse The Future by Local Government because endorsement will empower LGNZ in their discussions with central government while not imposing any binding requirements on member Councils.
