7. 91 Sparks Road (Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka) Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/1613294
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, Acting General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, mary.richardson@ccc.govt.nz

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions on Sparks Road at the accesses to Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a concern raised by school staff about parked vehicles blocking access for drivers entering the school.

1.4 The community engagement and consultation outlined in this report reflect the assessment.

1.5 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on:

a. the north side of Sparks Road, commencing at a point 84 metres east of its intersection with Maryhill Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of nine metres

b. the north side of Sparks Road, commencing at a point 139 metres east of its intersection with Maryhill Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of nine metres.

c. the north side of Sparks Road, commencing at a point 182 metres east of its intersection with Maryhill Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of eight metres.

2. Revoke any previous resolutions pertaining to stopping and parking restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the stopping and parking restrictions described in resolutions 1a to 1c above.

3. Approve that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Staff from Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka have raised concerns about parked vehicles impeding access to the school and visibility when exiting. This is preventing approved vehicles, including emergency service vehicles from being able to enter the school.

3.2 It is already illegal for drivers to block an access or park within one metre of a driveway so there is usually no need for No Stopping restrictions to be installed in these instances. However, in this location the school gates are often left closed for security purposes and student safety. This means it can be less clear to drivers that these are operational driveways. No Stopping restrictions are proposed to reinforce this and ensure that the access points are kept clear.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo -

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 Consistent with Council’s standard response to requests for No Stopping restrictions over driveways.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the concern raised by the school about vehicle access being impeded.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The main frontage to Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka is located on Sparks Road. There is also pedestrian access through to Maryhill Road from the north side of the school.

5.2 There is a high parking demand on this section of road, particularly during peak school pick up and drop of times. Parking is only permitted on the north (school) side of Sparks Road near the school. The Quarryman’s Trail Major Cycle Route runs along the south side of the road opposite the school.

5.3 Approval is required by the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

5.4 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

Community Views and Preferences

5.5 The proposal was emailed to the school for feedback, the School Board has confirmed their support for the proposal.

5.6 The proposal only affects the school access points and does not involve the removal of any on-street parking. Therefore, no further feedback was sought from the community.

5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to gain Board approval of a two-staged landscape development plan for Ferrymead Park to enable delivery to commence in eary 2024.

1.2 This is a staff generated report.

1.3 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the project being a funded project in the Annual Plan that has only a low-to-medium impact on a small number of people, no mana whenua interests in the proposal, and entails low risks that can be easily be reversed.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approve the Stage-1 Landscape Development Plan for Ferrymead Park (2023)

2. Approve the Stage-2 Landscape Development Plan for Ferrymead Park (2023)

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 We have been implementing various elements of the existing 2007 Ferrymead Park Development Plan, however we now wish to make some changes to the original plan in-light of changing environmental conditions in and around the site.

3.2 The changes reflect the Council’s new emphasis on climate resilience and responding to the ecological emergency. The plan also takes into account the aspirations of the Lower Ōpāwaho-Heathcote Guidance Plan which has been developed since the original Ferrymead Park Development Plan was finalised.

3.3 Funding for the implementation of the Ferrymead Park Development Plan has been allocated in the Long Term Plan, and staff intend to commence delivery of this workstream in early 2024. However, before this work can commence, the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board need to approve the updated Landscape Development Plans, including tree removals.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Not approve either of the Landscape Development Plans, and instead seek further community feedback on their content, or

4.2 Approve only the Stage-1 Landscape Development Plan and seek further community input on the Stage-2 plan.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The Council worked with the community over several years to prepare a development plan for Ferrymead Park in 2007 (attached to this report). We have been implementing various elements of this plan since that time, however we now wish to make some changes to the original plan in-light of changing environmental conditions in and around the site. These changes reflect the Council’s new emphasis on climate resilience and responding to the ecological emergency. The plan also takes into account the aspirations of the Lower Ōpāwaho-Heathcote Guidance Plan which has been developed since the original Ferrymead Park Development Plan was finalised.

5.2 The two new staged plans depart from the original 2007 plan by placing a higher priority on the protection, maintenance, and enhancement of the natural/ecological values of the park. This is one of the Council’s key obligations under the Resource Management Act (RMA) and a key community outcome (Healthy Environment).

5.3 The exact location and form of the various elements will be determined further during the implementation stage and will align with fine-scale landscape elements and landforms.

5.4 Initially we have prioritised two key projects we would like to commence in early 2024 as part of the Stage-1 Landscape Development Plan, and five projects over the following years from the Stage-2 plan.

5.5 The two projects from Stage-1 are:

5.5.1 Remove the large stand of pine trees along the true right bank of the lower Ōpāwaho Heathcote River and replant in native riparian species.

5.5.2 Enhancement of the existing riparian margin along the lower Avoca Stream by planting with eco-sourced native species.

5.6 The five prioritised projects from the Stage-2 Landscape Development Plan include:

5.6.1 The reinstatement of the natural tidal connection at five identified sites where old drains and culverts have collapsed. As part of this work, we will also investigate culverts, bridges, or boardwalks to retain pedestrian crossing points over tidal stream areas and facilitate the regeneration and expansion of indigenous vegetation where surface water and ground salinity allows.

5.6.2 Replanting areas of grazing paddocks and low-lying areas west of the golf course and the Avoca Stream tidal margin with species such as marsh ribbonwood, manuka, and harakeke to create a large area of coastal wetland and shrubland. Note that this will be undertaken as a staged wetland planting programme and will be carried out over several years.

5.6.3 The extension of the pathway network along the lower Ōpāwaho-Heathcote River to Tunnel Road to continue around the area of coastal wetland and through to Scruttons Road. This project will also involve creating a shorter return loop back from the end of Scruttons Road.

5.6.4 Installing bench seating and other park furniture features at strategic locations throughout the park to add to the visitor experience.

5.6.5 Establishing a small patch of coastal forest and shrubland on the Wood Hill site.

5.7 We have developed the two staged plans in consultation with various Council experts, Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd, the Ngai Tuāhuriri Kaitiaki Committee, users of the park, and, more recently, with the Heathcote Community Association.

5.8 In October 2023 we contacted the Heathcote Community Association to brief the group on the various elements of the Stage-1 and Stage-2 plans, highlight any departures from the original 2007 plan, and make them aware of the level of consultation we have carried out with various user groups of the park. Given the level of consultation we have carried out, the chairperson of the Association confirmed that they were happy with our approach and did not feel we needed to attend their meeting to discuss the proposals any further. In the meantime, they have shared the two Landscape Development Plans in their newsletter and on their Facebook page.

5.9 User groups we have consulted with include:

· Avon Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust

· Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network group

· Tunnel Road saltmarsh restoration volunteer group

· Forest and Bird Calder Green restoration group

· Horse grazier Ferrymead paddocks

· Heathcote Valley Bike Park

Note: Sports clubs are being engaged independently to provide feedback on tree planting located in and around the sports fields.

5.10 Feedback from these groups has been included as an attachment to this report.

5.11 Due to the prior consultation with affected parties, small scope of the project, and minimum potential to influence the plan, advice was received that public consultation was not required and would be unlikely to further improve the outcome.

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

5.12.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

6. Tree Removals

6.1 As part of stage one of the development plan, a large number of tree removals will be required. This is to facilitate the transition to a more natural environment including altering the composition of vegetation to reflect a coastal wetland environment.

6.2 The removals are constrained to two main areas, the first and largest is at the northern end of the park bordering a pathway and the estuary. These removals are largely comprised of exotic trees with the predominant make up being cypress and pine trees. It is proposed that all exotics, other than those being retained for bird roosting, will be removed. The image below
shows the location of the trees to be removed.

6.3 The second area of removals is a group of willow trees located between the two sports field areas. Over the past few years, a number of these trees have failed in the wind which has left them more exposed. The proposal is to remove these trees proactively prior to further failures occurring. The removal of the trees will facilitate new planting of coastal wetland species which will tie in with the rest of the park.

6.4

The image below shows the location of the willows between the two sports field areas:

6.5 The removals will be undertaken as per 4.7 of the Council’s Tree Policy which requires that the benefits of the project must be assessed against the loss of benefits provided by the trees.

6.6 This project has been assessed by the Council’s biodiversity team which included an assessment of the trees and their ecological value to the area. During the assessment, some trees have been suggested for retention as roosting for the local birdlife. The other exotic trees are recommended for removal to allow for a more appropriate forest type to be developed.

6.7 The values currently provided by the trees will be replaced once the new more appropriate forest is established.

6.8 The Tree Policy also requires that for every tree that is removed a minimum of two trees are planted with the canopy being replaced within 20 years. The plan for the park includes extensive areas of planting to establish coastal wetland planting and some forest shrubland. Through this planting the requirements of the Tree Policy planting will be exceeded.

6.9 Furthermore, there is also a draft planting plan that has been developed for specimen tree planting around the sports field area as part of the Urban Forest Plan which aims to increase canopy cover across the city (example of plan has been appended). This plan was publicly consulted on but did not progress through to Community Board approval after some concerns were raised by the local sporting groups. Staff are meeting with these groups to address some of their concerns before bringing the plan to the Community Board for approval.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

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

7.2 Parks, heritage and coastal environment

7.2.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.3.5 Overall customer satisfaction with the recreational opportunities and ecological experiences provided by the City's Regional Parks. - Regional Parks resident satisfaction >=80%.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

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

7.4 Approval for the removal of the trees will be in alignment with the Council’s Tree Policy, specifically 4.7.

7.5 The planting of the area around the sports fields and other areas within the park will result in an increase in canopy cover across the city which is a key goal of the Urban Forest Plan.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.6 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.

7.7 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

7.8 We engaged Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd (MKT) to provide and/or seek cultural advice on the various elements of these Landscape Development Plans. The Ngai Tuāhuriri Kaitiaki Committee subsequently confirmed that they have no interests in the area or elements covered by or contained in these plans.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi The decisions in this report are likely to:

7.8.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change though removing grazing from significant areas and allowing those areas to revert (either naturally or though assisted regeneration) to indigenous plant communities that play a key role in sequestering carbon.

7.8.2 Furthermore, by retiring grazing and restoring the historic tidal influence into those areas, we will facilitate the landward migration of coastal plant communities that would otherwise decrease in area with ongoing sea level rise, resulting in an ongoing net loss of indigenous biodiversity. Instead, allowing for this migration to occur is an important action in fulfilling our RMA statutory obligations to protect and maintain indigenous biodiversity.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.9 The Landscape Development Plans include an extensive network of recreation paths that will be constructed to an accessible grade.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1 Funding Source: Ferrymead Park Regional Development (CPMS #61751) has a total budget of $1,400,897 spread across financial years FY2024 to FY2031

8.2 Based on rough order of cost (RoC) estimates, the cost to implement the full plan is $3,068,566 including projects associated with:

· Stage 1: $1,271,940

· Stage 2: $1,850,626

8.3 There is a potential funding shortfall of approximately $1.7M, and completion of some Stage-2 elements will therefore need to be either subject to future Long Term Plan bids, covered from other Council funding streams, and/or potentially through securing external funding opportunities.

8.4 Maintenance/ongoing costs associated with the new developments will be covered within Coastal Regional Parks Opex Budget.

8.5 Note that we anticipate there will be ongoing reductions in operations costs as a result of the planned developments, including:

· Reduced mowing costs as existing grass areas are replaced with restoration plantings.

· Reduced tree maintenance costs of approximately $10,000 per year associated with maintaining the declining stand of pines along the lower Ōpāwaho-Heathcote river.

· Reduced costs of pest plant and wilding pine control as pest plants are replaced with indigenous plantings and pines are removed.

9. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

9.1 Community Boards have delegated authority to approve landscape development plans provided the design is within the policy and budget set by the Council, and for the removal of trees on parks.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

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

10. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

10.1 We believe that the projects contained within the Ferrymead Park Landscape Development Plans are of low risk and can be easily reversed. Each individual project will entail its own risk analysis and mitigation as they are designed in further detail and implemented.

11. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

11.1 Once the Landscape Development Plans and tree removals have been approved, staff will commence implementation in-line with programmed budgets.

4.4 Update on the Cashmere Worsleys Valley Flood Storage Facility project:

The final stage of the Cashmere Worsleys Valley Flood Storage Facility in the upper catchment of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River is nearing completion. The facility has progressed in stages, The upper part of the valley has been open to the public for approximately 18 months now and is well established with extensive native planting, adding a great recreational area for the public to enjoy.

The final stage of the project - Cashmere Valley Dam is nearing completion. The dam is expected to be fully commissioned in early 2024 allowing the full benefits of the facility to be realised, delivering enhanced protection against flooding for residents that live close to the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River downstream of the facility.

The areas of the Cashmere Valley currently closed off for construction activities are expected to be open to the public by the Christmas break with the lower and upper valley linked to form a cohesive network of paths and native planting that will provide great recreational and ecological benefits.

4.5 At the Community Open Forum on 24 August 2023, the Board recommended staff work in partnership with The River Ōpāwaho church community towards the delivery of a micro-orchard food commons in Remuera Reserve.

Staff have advised the next steps involve:

· Incorporate the Remuera Reserve Fruit Tree Proposal into the Urban Canopy Planting Plan – Parks.

· Working with the River Ōpāwaho Church Community to ensure their proposal is reflected in the Urban Canopy Planting Plan – Remuera Reserve.

· Publicly consult on the Planting Plan over the summer before seeking board approval this Autumn.

· Decision report coming to the Board in April 2024.

4.6 At the 12 October 2023 Board meeting during Elected Member Information Exchange, the Board requested an update on safety improvements to the Disraeli Street and Selwyn Street intersection. Staff have advised:

This is within the LTP as project "60106 Disraeli, Harman & Selwyn Street Intersection Safety Improvement.".

Currently, funding for this project starts in FY26, with the bulk of the funding in FY28. This could change in next year’s LTP, depending upon Community Board and Council priorities.

4.7 During consideration of the Area Report at the meeting on 11 May 2023 the Board requested that staff confirm the hut in Coronation Reserve is on a maintenance schedule and provide a response back to the Community Board. The following response has been supplied:

Yes, the Hut is on a maintenance schedule.

The Hut gets an annual building wash and gutter clean, from our internal Park Maintenance Officers. During this annual building wash and gutter clean the building is assessed for any other maintenance that is required to protect this category one listed heritage building.

Six months ago, one of the doors was replaced with an exact replacement due to the existing one being rotten beyond repair. Following this repair, the building has been washed and fully painted. Some rot to the timber skids has been identified during this maintenance and will be addressed also. The timber skids the building sits on are not part of the heritage structure and can be easily repaired. The structure has had all of its scheduled maintenance for this year and will be continued June next year when it is again scheduled.

4.8 The response below is from an action raised at the Board Meeting on 11 May 2023 from the report on Stourbridge Street and Clarence Street South Proposed No Stopping Restrictions.

a. if the fence should be tapered to improve visibility, given the volume of vehicle traffic using the driveway.

b. whether the existing fence is compliant with the resource consent for the site.

Oderings have measures in place to improve safety at this exit point and through their site. These include a 10km/h speed limit, a speed hump and stop control at the immediate exit point, and signage to warn drivers to be aware of pedestrians. Visibility along the footpath to the southwest could be improved by lowering the fence or tapering it down at the immediate egress, however this would be at the discretion of the property owners. There are no requirements identified within the existing consent that relate to the specific design of this access.
