7. Shirley/Hills/Warrington Intersection Safety Improvements
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1820262
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Gemma Dioni, Principal Advisor Transportation - Safety Georgia Greene, Traffic Engineer Danielle Endacott, Engagement Advisor
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Lynette Ellis, Head of Transport & Waste Management (Lynette.Ellis@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve a proposal for safety improvements at the Shirley/Hills/Warrington intersection.

1.2 The report has been written in response to ongoing safety concerns at this intersection particularly for people travelling across the community by all different modes.

1.3 This intersection is within the top 1% of intersections within the Christchurch District in terms of risk of being in a crash, compared to over 5700 Council controlled intersections citywide. The intersection safety improvements were identified through a co-design process with Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency for the 2021-2024 National Land Transport Programme Funding Cycle. The Pipeline Development Tool (PDT) used in this process helps road controlling authorities and their funding partners plan road safety interventions, understand their benefits, including the expected reduction in death and serious injury, and identify the most effective interventions at a local, regional, and national level.

1.4 The intersection is a busy location used by many people travelling to school or work, accessing the shops, or moving across the community. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely.

1.5 The decisions in this report are of medium significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council's Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the high volume of people impacted and the level of interest on all intersection upgrades.

1.6 The recommended option is to construct a safe speed platform at the intersection with improvements to the slip lanes, also to improve safety and accessibility for people walking as shown in Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approves the scheme design as detailed on plan TP362701 dated 22/01/2024 in Attachment A to the agenda report.

2. Approves in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017 that any previously approved resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw on the east side of Hills Road commencing at its intersection with Shirley Road and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 62 metres be revoked.

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

a. The east side of Hills Road commencing at its intersection with Shirley Road and extending in a northerly direction for a distance of 53 metres.

b. The north side of Shirley Road commencing at its intersection with Hills Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 83 metres.

c. The south side of Shirley Road commencing at its intersection with Hills Road and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 71 metres.

4. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in resolutions 1 and 3 above.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 1 to 4 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The Shirley/Hills/Warrington intersection is busy with many people walking, cycling, accessing public transport, and driving through, particularly at school times and when people are travelling to work. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely. If Council are to achieve Vision Zero, we need to create a safe transport system; one that recognises humans make mistakes and that these mistakes do not need to cost us our lives.

3.2 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard guidance including the Standard safety intervention toolkit handbook produced by NZTA Waka Kotahi and Austroads design guides. Traffic signals are not typically identified and promoted as a Safe System solution, primarily due to the angle and impact speed of crashes at signalised intersections. Safe Speed Platforms (Raised Safety Platforms) are a vertical deflection device increasingly used to reduce the maximum comfortable operating speed for vehicles to Safe System collision speeds. The tolerable limit (survivable speed) for pedestrians and cyclists is 30 km/h.

3.3 Since the installation of the platform at the Lincoln/Barrington/Whiteleigh intersection, safer speeds by drivers entering the intersection have been achieved as shown in the chart below. In the preceding five-year period (2018-2022) there were 21 reported crashes at this intersection including two crashes resulting in serious injury. There have been no reported crashes at this intersection in 2023 (as of 16/01/2024).

3.4 Speed surveys have also recently been completed (December 2023) at the new platforms at Briggs/Marshland/Lake Terrace. The survey showed that the average free flow speed recorded on the Marshland Road approaches was 31.2km/h and 28.5km/h on Briggs Road. This again shows that the platforms are reducing vehicle entry speeds into the intersection to the safe system collision speeds. It is too early to understand the changes in crashes at this location.

3.5 It is proposed to provide improved pedestrian crossings for people walking, by improving the crossing point at the slip lane from Shirley Road to Hills Road to slow vehicle speeds by providing vertical traffic calming.

3.6 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of having well-connected communities and neighbourhoods, so people can take fewer and shorter trips to access goods and services and have access to safe and reliable low-emission travel choices.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 A Safe System Assessment was completed as part of the optioneering for the improvements. The assessment considered the existing signals, improvements to the existing signal-controlled intersection and the raised platforms. The Safe System Assessment is a formal examination of a road related program, project or initiative that assesses the safety of the existing intersection and the proposals. The process assesses if, and how, existing or future changes align with safe system principles with a focus on safer roads and safer speeds. The assessment provides a score for the existing arrangement and a score for the options from a total score of 448 (the lower score the safer the outcomes).

4.2 Three options were reviewed by the consultant design team:

4.2.1 Option 1 - Refresh road markings, including coloured surfacing and provide additional road marking such as sharrows.

4.2.2 Option 2 – Fully protected right-turn phasing from Hills Road (north) to Warrington Street as well as pedestrian protection, raised crossings on the slip lanes. Also includes changes in Option 1.

4.2.3 Option 3 – Option 1 and 2 in addition to the inclusion of Safe Speed Platforms, which are a primary safe system treatment option.

4.3 A summary of the scores from the Safe System Assessment can be found below. Note that the lower the score, the safer the option.

Summary of Safe System Assessment

4.4 It should be noted that due to the straight road alignment and no changes proposed for the solid median on Shirley Road, the scoring for ‘run-off-road’ and ‘head-on’ collisions does not change with the three options. ‘Run-off-road’ and ‘head-on’ collisions also scored relatively low compared to other crash types in the base scenario. With the other crash types, there is a decrease in score with Option 2 and Option 3. Introducing protected right-turn phasing on Hills Road both approaches will decrease the safe system score, and while effective is not a primary treatment as they do not physically control speeds (should a driver travel through on a red signal for example). There is a notable improvement in the pedestrian scores for Option 2 with the introduction of protected pedestrian crossings that reduce pedestrian crash likelihood but do not affect crash severity. Option 3, being a primary treatment, is the only option to decrease the severity of crash types and achieve safe system speeds for vulnerable users. The Standard Safety Intervention Toolkit assumes a death and serious injury reduction of 40% by implementing raised safety platforms at existing signalised intersection.

Summary safe system assessment collision type

Maintain the status quo

4.5 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 There is no cost to Council.

4.6 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.6.1 Does not support safer outcomes for all users at the intersection.

Option 1

4.7 The advantages of this option include:

4.7.1 The addition of Sharrow markings on left-turn lane on Warrington Street highlights the potential for cycle conflict. Give way control provided on the access road from Hills Road north to Shirley Road clarifies the existing arrangement (this was later changed to a stop control prior to engagement commencing).

4.8 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.8.1 Provides minimal improvement in alignment with safe system principles so there is likely to be minimal safety benefits for cyclists and drivers.

4.8.2 There is a cost to Council to change the crosswalks and signal pole locations.

4.8.3 Does not support safer outcomes for all users, particularly active users such as children walking, scooting and riding to school, at the intersection.

Option 2

4.9 The advantages of this option include:

4.9.1 The fully protected right-turn phasing provided from Hills Road north approach to Warrington Street reduces the likelihood of right turning crashes.

4.9.2 The raised safety platform for the zebra crossing on Shirley Road left turn slip lane and across the access road from Hills Road north to Shirley Road reduces the likelihood and severity of pedestrian crashes on these slip lanes.

4.9.3 Pedestrian protection from left and right-turning traffic at the intersection reduces pedestrian crash likelihood at the intersection.

4.10 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.10.1 Severity of collisions does not decrease with the installation of protected phasing.

4.10.2 There is a cost to Council to improve the traffic signal phasing and the elements of Option 1.

4.10.3 Does not support safer outcomes for all users, particularly active users such as children walking, scooting and riding to school, at the intersection.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Improving safety on local roads in Christchurch is a priority for the Christchurch City Council. Providing safe infrastructure is key to ensure people get to where they are going safely irrespective of the mode of travel. CCC has a Level of Service to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries from all crashes by 40% in 2030 that is a reduction of 5 or more per year, and for this to be under 71 crashes per year within the 10-year period. This is also a goal in the Road Safety Action Plan, which is a collaborative plan between Christchurch City Council, Waka Kotahi, ACC, FENZ and New Zealand Police.

5.2 The intersection is located in the suburb of Shirley. Located close to the intersection is Shirley Shopping Centre and other retail and hospitality businesses around the intersection, Shirley Primary School, Shirley Community reserve and Pump Track, and Best Start Warrington.

5.3 Pedestrians are provided with crossings on each arm of the intersection. On the northeast corner, people walking cross a slip lane before being able to access the signals. This is the same on the southeast corner. There are people walking and scootering through the intersection, with the main demand in the morning peak from school children travelling to the high schools.

5.4 There are on road cycle lanes on each approach and departure, except for Warrington Street, where the cycle lane terminates prior to the intersection. The 2022 intersection count shows the highest number of people riding through the intersection was in the evening peak with 30 people recorded, with 25 in the morning peak. Off-peak the number of people riding through the intersection was 6.

5.5 There are three bus routes that pass through the intersection including the Orbiter, number 7, and the 100 service. There are bus stops on all approaches and departures to the intersection. There are no changes to bus routes or stops.

5.6 There are approximately 2500 vehicles passing through the intersection in the morning peak and 2800 in the evening peak. There are approximately 1800 vehicles passing through at lunchtime.

5.7 In the 10-year period from 2014-2023 (noting that data for 2023 is incomplete), there have been 32 reported crashes by Police, five of which have resulted in serious injury. Three crashes involved people walking, one involved a person cycling and one was a vehicle-to-vehicle crash. One crash that involved a person walking occurred on private property and is to be discounted from the analysis. In summary:

5.7.1 The two crashes involving people walking both occurred on the northern crosswalk on Hills Road. In both instances a vehicle turning right from Shirley Road has hit the person on the crossing.

5.7.2 The person riding the bicycle had travelled westbound through the intersection on a red signal and has hit a northbound vehicle travelling through the intersection on a green signal.

5.7.3 The vehicle-to-vehicle crash was a result of a westbound vehicle travelling through a red signal and has hit a northbound vehicle travelling through the intersection on a green signal.

5.8 The remaining crashes resulted in minor injury (10 crashes) or no injury (17 crashes). Four of the crashes that resulted in minor injury involved people walking, these crashes can be summarised as follows:

5.8.1 Three crashes occurred due to people crossing through stationary traffic on Hills Road south approach and have been hit as the traffic has started moving. Two occurred from the right turn lane.

5.8.2 One crash occurred as when a person crossing Hills Road south of the lights and was hit by a vehicle turning right out of the Shirley Shopping Centre car park.

5.9 Two of the minor crashes also involved people travelling outside motor vehicles. This included one person on a bicycle and one travelling on a motorcycle. The person on the bicycle was hit by a vehicle exiting the slip lane on the northeast corner. The person on the motorcycle was hit by a driver undertaking a u-turn manoeuvre on the north side of the intersection.

5.10 The four vehicle only, or vehicle to vehicle, collisions resulting in minor injury involved a driver travelling in excess of the speed limit and losing control when turning hitting a signal pole, a driver travelling south on Hills Road being hit by a vehicle travelling westbound on a red signal, a driver turning right from Hills Road where the driver had failed to give-way to a northbound vehicle, and a driver travelling south on Hills Road hitting the rear of a vehicle waiting at the signals.

5.11 The remaining crashes can be grouped into crossing/turning crashes (9), rear-end/obstruction (4) and overtaking (4). The crossing/turning crashes can be summarised into:

Crossing/turning crashes

· Failing to give-way when turning resulted in six crashes (three involved right turners from Warrington St, one right turner from Shirley Road, one right turner from Hills Road south and one right turner from Hills Road north).

· One right turner was by a vehicle travelling south on Hills Road at speed, and one northbound driver was hit by a vehicle travelling westbound on a red signal.

· The remaining crash occurred south of the intersection when a vehicle exited a driveway through stationary traffic and was hit by a moving vehicle entering the right turn lane.

Rear end crashes

· Two of this crash type occurred on Hills Road (south) when a driver was following too closely and another undertaking a u-turn. Two crashes also occurred on Shirley Road due to drivers following too closely.

Overtaking crashes

· There was one of this crash type that has occurred on each approach. On Hills Road north and on Shirley Road, vehicles have tried to enter the right turn bay too early misjudging the available width. On Hills Road (south) a vehicle has undertaken a stationary right tuner and again has misjudged the available width. On Warrington Street, a vehicle has paused when the green signal has turned on and the vehicle behind as overtaken on the oncoming traffic lane.

5.12 The addition of the speed platforms is to achieve a significant and much needed improvement to user safety. No one expects a crash, but people make mistakes – including those who are careful and responsible drivers. Speed is the key factor in deaths and serious injuries – no matter what the cause of a crash is, its speed that determines whether or not you’ll walk away from it. We can prevent serious injury and harm through a safe system approach, which incorporates safe speeds and safe infrastructure, which includes treatments such as vertical traffic calming. Slower speeds will provide more time for all users to observe each other and reduce the risk of crashes resulting in a significant reduction to the likelihood of crashes and, in the unfortunate event crashes do occur, less severe injuries.

5.13 The science behind lowering speeds shows that lower vehicle speeds improve survival rates and reduces serious harm to people who walk, cycle, scoot and use motorcycles. Lower vehicle speed is particularly important for vulnerable road users, who include children, the elderly and those with visual or mobility impairments. For example, the survival rate of people over 60 is half that of people younger than 60 at most vehicle impact speeds.

5.14 Even small reductions in speed improve survival and reduce serious harm in the event of a collision with a vehicle. Several studies show a 1 km/h and 5 km/h drop in average speed improves survival rates by 4% and 20% respectively.

5.15 Following consultation, several changes have been made to the proposal, these include:

5.15.1 An additional island and road marking changes on Hills Road (north) to accommodate a sign to provide additional wayfinding for drivers wanting to access Shirley Road to turn left using the slip lane as there is no left turn from Hills Road to Shirley Road at the lights. One car park is to be re-instated on Hills Road.

5.15.2 Upgrading the signal hardware to allow for further changes in future. It is proposed to retain the current phasing arrangement, which requires right turning traffic from Shirley Road and Warrington Street to filter through straight and left turning traffic.

5.15.3 Removal of the raised zebra crossing point on the slip lane from Hills Road to Shirley Road to reduce overall cost. Working around the large tree and providing additional lighting in this location does come at a cost. Lower cost traffic calming is proposed in advance of the area where people walking will cross the road to slow traffic using this left turn facility. The measures do not preclude further improvements being made in the future.

5.15.4 Addition of no stopping lines on the north side of Shirley Road to remove the ambiguity around the small section of roadway where there is a white triangle.

5.16 Requests for further education for drivers including not driving through red lights, not using mobile phones, nor waiting in advanced stop boxes have been referred to our Travel Demand management Team.

5.17 Additional requests from submitters, such as the inclusion of a shared path and additional facilities for people riding were investigated but the intersection is in a constrained location and there isn’t the required space to provide these additional features without additional expense.

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

5.18.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central

6.1 Early engagement with affected businesses, key transport stakeholders and nearby schools started in October 2023. Staff visited businesses located near the intersection and left material inviting them to contact staff with any questions or book in a time to meet.

6.2 Staff heard from 21 out of the 30 businesses that were approached. No concerns were raised, and several businesses commented in support of the plans, citing issues of unsafe driver behaviour and speeds.

6.3 Staff heard from 4 out of the 11 transport stakeholders that were approached. Generation Zero were supportive of the plans and in agreement with the issues it set to address. The Automobile Association requested information clarification including how the plans may affect traffic flow.

6.4 Staff met with Shirley Primary School and Pareawa Banks Avenue Primary. Both schools supported the plans and felt that they would make the intersection safer for all road users including students and families getting to and from school. The schools shared information on the consultation with their school communities.

6.5 Public consultation started on 8 November 2023 and ran until 6 December 2023. An email was sent to 165 key stakeholders, including emergency services, the local preschools, local resident associations, and the Disabled Persons’ Assembly. Local businesses were provided with leaflets and/or emailed with information about the plans and the opportunity to provide feedback on Kōrero Mai | Let’s Talk.

6.6 Staff approached the Shirley Primary school community at the gate before school and collected submissions.

6.7 The consultation was posted on the council Facebook page (reach: 89,835) and Richmond Avonside Dallington Shirley Locals (R.A.D.S) Facebook page, the council Instagram page and Newsline (2,128 views), inviting submissions on Kōrero Mai | Let’s Talk (5,195 views).

6.1 Consultation documents were delivered to local preschools and schools to be made available to staff and families. Consultation material was also displayed in the Shirley Library.

6.2 Physical and digital signage was displayed at Taiora QEll Recreation and Sport Centre, The Palms washrooms and on the streets of the intersection, for the duration of the consultation.

6.3 Residential addresses located directly around the intersection and between the Shirley Road intersections with Hills and Marshlands were delivered consultation material.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.4 Submissions were made by 5 recognised organisations – Environment Canterbury, Spokes Canterbury, Go Bus Transport, Ministry of Education, UC Climate Action Club; 3 local businesses – Christchurch Therapeutic Massage Centre, Hammersley Pharmacy, Shirley First Learners; and 194 individuals. Full details of all public submissions and feedback is available in Attachment B.

6.5 Submitters were asked how safe they feel travelling through the intersection now, compared to how safe they think they would feel if the proposed changes were made.

6.6 Overall, as shown in the table below, there was a general decrease in submitters feeling ‘somewhat unsafe’ and ‘somewhat safe’ when comparing the intersection as it is now, with the proposed changes. There was also a general increase in submitters feeling ‘neutral’ and ‘somewhat safe’ – see Attachment C for detail.

6.7 The main themes raised by submitters were:

· Requests for changes to the traffic signals and phasing (45)

· Opposition to the safe speed platform (37)

· Concern about the cost (22)

· Support for the safe speed platform (19)

· Concern about current high speeds and unsafe driving (13)

6.8 A full analysis of submissions is available in Attachment C.

6.9 In response to the top three key themes, staff provide the following responses:

Request for changes to the traffic signals and phasing (45)

6.10 Traffic signal timings are determined based primarily on traffic volumes to determine the signal phasing and overall cycle lengths. A signal cycle is defined as the total time to complete one sequence of for all movements at an intersection, which includes the time it takes for the lights to change for each vehicle phase (can be one or more vehicular movements) and pedestrian phases (either running concurrently with vehicle phases or individually in an exclusive pedestrian phase such as a barnes dance) and the all-red clearance period before the next phase arrives.

6.11 A single traffic signal-controlled intersection handles thousands of movements an hour. Detectors located under the road surface detect all traffic including motorcycles, cycles and buses, this information is the provided back to the traffic management system, which operates the traffic lights. The system uses the data to determine the optimum time for each phase to get the best use of the available time in terms of getting the most throughput and optimum safety at the intersection.

6.12 Although right-turn green arrows benefit turning vehicles, they may also increase the waiting time for other motorists and pedestrians at the intersection as this time must be taken away from another movement. This can reduce intersection throughput, particularly if time is taken away to the through movements on major corridors. This can also add delays to public transport if the right turn phase takes away time from other movements. Heavily trafficked major corridors may require longer cycles to accommodate higher volumes of traffic. Though these longer cycle lengths may move more vehicles through an intersection in a given time frame, they may increase delays for some drivers and for pedestrians.

6.13 The amount of green time for each phase or movements at a signal-controlled intersection varies according to vehicle demand. When there is not enough green time for each movement to get through the intersection it is often because the intersection is over capacity and has more vehicles than it was designed to handle. There is no space at the intersection to provide any additional traffic lanes to increase capacity. These overcapacity situations are generally only for a short duration during the peak period and as it is not cost effective to be designing the road network to cater for this short duration some delays should be expected during these periods.

6.14 When the amount of delay increases, traffic signals may sometimes result in some driver travelling at greater speeds through the intersection because drivers accelerate to try to "beat the light" before it goes red.

6.15 CCC has developed criteria to determine where right-turn green arrows may be warranted, this includes how many vehicle lanes are opposing, the speed limit, the number of turn lanes, visibility and sight distances and the need for pedestrian protection. At this intersection, all right turning traffic only has to give-way to one through lane.

6.16 The use of raised safety platforms and the use of filtering right turning movements therefore seek to optimise throughput and safety by reducing the speed of vehicles travelling through the intersection, giving all users more time to understand how other users are proceeding through the intersection. All traffic signal upgrades being undertaken at this intersection will be futureproofed to accommodate non-filter turns in the future if required.

Oppose the safe speed platform (37)

6.17 Whether driving, walking or cycling, you are more likely to have a crash at an intersection than any other part of the road network. Christchurch has one of the highest intersection risk ratings of any city in New Zealand. Slowing traffic through intersections using features like safe speed platforms reduces both the number and severity of potential crashes. Not everyone has access to a car. It is important that everyone, including elderly and children, have access to safe and convenient means of travel. We have to provide transport choices for walking, cycling and public transport, designed in a way that is safe and easy-to-use for everyone, and located where there is the greatest need, like outside schools.

6.18 The addition of the speed platforms is to achieve a significant and much needed improvement to user safety. No one expects a crash, but people make mistakes – including those who are careful and responsible drivers. Speed is the key factor in deaths and serious injuries – no matter what the cause of a crash is, its speed that determines whether or not you’ll walk away from it. We can prevent serious injury and harm through a safe system approach, which incorporates safe speeds and safe infrastructure, which includes treatments such as vertical traffic calming. Slower speeds will provide more time for all users to observe each other and reduce the risk of crashes resulting in a significant reduction to the likelihood of crashes and, in the unfortunate event crashes do occur, less severe injuries.

6.19 The science behind lowering speeds shows that lower vehicle speeds improve survival rates and reduces serious harm to people who walk, cycle, scoot and use motorcycles. Lower vehicle speed is particularly important for vulnerable road users, who include children, the elderly and those with visual or mobility impairments. For example, the survival rate of people over 60 is half that of people younger than 60 at most vehicle impact speeds.

6.20 Even small reductions in speed improve survival and reduce serious harm in the event of a collision with a vehicle. Several studies show a 1 km/h and 5 km/h drop in average speed improves survival rates by 4% and 20% respectively^{^[1]}.

Concerned about the cost (22)

6.21 CCC has a Level of Service to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries from all crashes by 40% in 2030 that is a reduction of 5 or more per year, and for this to be under 71 crashes per year within the 10-year period. This is also a goal in the Road Safety Action Plan, which is a collaborative plan between Christchurch City Council, Waka Kotahi, ACC, FENZ and New Zealand Police.

6.22 As part of Council’s approach, we don’t want to wait for a crash to happen, we want to take a proactive approach to reducing death and serious injuries. Priortising investment in lower cost effective treatments assists Council to deliver on our Road Safety Action Plan, reduce the social cost to society, reduce expenditure by Council on maintenance upgrades (when signal poles are hit in a crash and need to be replaced for example) and travel time delays when a crash occurs particularly if there is a serious injury crash and multiple emergency services are involved or where vehicle damage has resulted in lubricants or debris covering the carraigeway, and it requires cleaing prior to the road re-opening.

6.23 We have a specific budget in the long-term plan to target high risk locations to reduce death and serious injury on our network. The intersection improvements are not fully funded by Council. Waka Kotahi have confirmed that funding support at 51% is approved for this intersection for this financial year.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

7.1 Council’s strategic priorities have been considered in formulating the recommendations in this report, including, residents having equitable access to a range of transport options that make it easy and safe to get around the city, and reduce emissions as a Council and as a City.

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

7.3 Transport

7.3.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - <=96 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

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

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

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.5 The decision does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

7.6 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.

7.7 The effects of this proposal upon Mana Whenua are expected to be insignificant as the proposal involves minor work within the existing carriageway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.8 The decisions in this report are likely to:

7.8.1 Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

7.8.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

7.9 The emission reductions associated with this project have not been estimated.

7.10 Improving the ability for people to walk and cycle are a key part of council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a safe, low emission way for residents to move around the city.

7.11 From the 2022 Life in Christchurch Transport Survey, it was identified that inconsiderate and dangerous behaviour from other road users and sharing the road with cars were the main reasons respondents found it difficult to bike.

7.12 Improving safety and making the intersection feel safer would address some of the barriers to people making sustainable travel choices. Removing these barriers will lead to reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled and consequently emissions from transport.

7.13 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 walking and cycling infrastructure is also a key part of the Ministry of Transport and Waka Kotahi’s efforts to decarbonise the transport system, so improving safety for these users would be consistent with national direction.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.14 This proposal improves accessibility for pedestrians/cyclists, by providing a safer means of crossing at the intersection.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1 Cost to Implement - $350k for the civil works and $314k for the traffic signal work. This is an estimate and not a tendered price.

8.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - To be covered under the area maintenance contract, the effects will be minimal to the overall asset.

8.3 Funding Source – Traffic Operations Minor Road Safety Budget.

8.4 Funding support - Waka Kotahi have confirmed that funding support at 51% is approved for this intersection through the low-cost low-risk programme. Activities funded through the Low-Cost Low-Risk investment pathway do not need to calculate a benefit-cost ratio. Funding support is only guaranteed for this financial year.

8. Peterborough Street between Manchester Street and Madras Street - Angle Parking
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1829819
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Michael Thomson, Transport Engineer, michael.thomson@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To seek approval for the proposed angle parking changes on Peterborough Street between Manchester Street and Madras Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from the Parking Operations & Appeals Team following redevelopment on Peterborough Street.

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 low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approves that any previously approved resolutions be revoked , in accordance with Clause 6 (2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, on the south side of Peterborough Street from its intersection with Madras Street extending to its intersection with Manchester Street, pertaining to parking and /or stopping restrictions, made pursuant to any Bylaw, Local Government Act, or any Land Transport Rule, to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking and /or stopping restrictions described in recommendation 2 below.

2. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 and as shown on Attachment A and Attachment B:

a. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Peterborough Street from its intersection with Madras Street and extending in westerly direction for a distance of 31 metres.

b. That the parking of vehicles be restricted to 90 degree angle parking on the south side of Peterborough Street commencing at a point 31 metres west from its intersection with Madras Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 52.5 metres.

c. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Peterborough Street commencing at a point 83.5 metres west of its intersection with Peterborough Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 48 metres.

d. That the parking of vehicles be restricted to 90 degree angle parking on the south side of Peterborough Street commencing at a point 131.5 metres west of its intersection with Madras Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 80.5 metres.

e. That the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the south side of Peterborough Street commencing at a point 212 metres from its intersection with Madras Street and extending in a westerly direction to its intersection with Manchester Street.

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

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Installation of angle parking and no stopping restriction on the south side of Peterborough Street between Manchester Street and Madras Street in accordance with Attachment A and Attachment B. This is due to ongoing parking issues with the angle parking spaces and no stopping restrictions which has impacted on Parking Compliance Officer’s ability to enforce the parking restrictions that are in place.

3.2 It should be noted that this includes the removal of a marked no stopping restriction that was installed adjacent to 196 Peterborough Street. This no stopping restriction was installed to prevent vehicles parking there to allow access to the site for construction but were never resolved.

3.3 The advantages of the preferred/recommended option are to:

· Remark some angle parking lines which optimises the number of unrestricted parking spaces available due to vehicle crossing changes while balancing the cost of the changes required;

· Reinforce that there is only one angle parking space beside 170 Peterborough Street near the kerb build-out by reducing the width of the angle parking space to 2.5m and extending the no stopping restriction; and

· Assist the Parking Compliance Team in their appeals process.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing

4.2 There are no advantages with this option.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the Parking Compliance Team’s request to assist them in their appeals process.

4.3.2 Provide a lack of consistency/negative perception of the Council as some motorists are taking advantage of the unresolved no stopping restriction and parking on it.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The Parking Operations & Appeals Team have requested that the Area Traffic Engineer investigate the angle parking spaces on Peterborough Street and reinforce what is permitted, noting that this will provide greater clarity in their appeals process.

5.2 The ongoing parking issues with the angle parking spaces on Peterborough Street between Manchester Street and Madras Street resulted from a combination of the following issues:

· Redevelopment of the adjacent properties changing their vehicle crossing locations/width;

· Angle parking lines that were removed due to road repairs and have not been reinstated;

· No stopping lines that have been installed without Council’s approval; and

· Wide angle parking spaces which some motorists have taken advantage of by not parking within the marked angle parking spaces to fit more vehicles than allocated for.

5.3 The proposal has been developed to resolve the combination of issues which balances optimising the number of unrestricted parking and the cost of the changes to provide them.

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

5.4.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

Community Views and Preferences

5.5 The request has come from the Parking Operations & Appeals Team.

5.6 Consultation letter and plans were mailed out to the directly affected property owners/residents on the south side of Peterborough Street. Note that as two of the affected property owners’ postal address are overseas, the consultation letter and plans were sent to the property address for the residents only. A letter drop was also undertaken for the townhouses at 170 Peterborough Street that has frontages on Peterborough Street. The consultation period was from 13 to 24 November 2023.

5.7 During consultation, five submissions were received. A copy of the responses can be found in Attachment C.

Time restricted parking

5.8 Two of the submissions (Submitter #1 and Submitter #3) received did not state whether they supported or objected to the proposal but would like the Council to consider time restricted parking due to difficulty in finding short term parking on the street.

5.9 Staff will be undertaking a wider central city parking management project and Peterborough Street will be investigated as part of that project. This proposal is to amend the angle parking spaces and assist the Parking Compliance Officer’s ability to enforce the parking restrictions that are in place.

Increase distance from vehicle crossing (>1m)

5.10 Submitter #1 would like a couple of metres of extra space between #180 Peterborough Street’s vehicle crossing and the parking to the west to safely leave bins in a space where the rubbish truck driver can reasonably access them and also providing clearer vision for vehicles exiting the property.

5.11 Staff are not proposing any changes to the angle parking markings in this area except to remark the missing parking lines as shown in Attachment A.

5.12 Waste Management manages the collection on Peterborough Street using a side arm truck and a runner on the truck to assist with the collections. With the runners, they will move along and move bins out to enable the truck to collect.

5.13 There is a balance between providing increased separation between vehicle crossings and adjacent parking spaces beyond the minimum 1m distance especially with 90° angle parking. Increasing the distances too much may inadvertently create the same issue along other sections of Peterborough Street where motorists end up parking within 1m of the vehicle crossing as they park in a space that they think they can fit into.

5.14 Three other submissions (Submitter #2, #4 and #5) requested increasing the separation between the vehicle crossing from #196 Peterborough Street and the adjacent parking spaces beyond the minimum 1m distance especially on the eastern side of the vehicle crossing. Two of these submissions also requested the “V” markings.

5.15 Following the feedback, staff has amended the proposed angle parking beside #1/196 and #198 Peterborough Street to increase the separation between the vehicle crossing to 196 Peterborough Street and the first angle parking space on the eastern side. This is by installing one additional 2.9m wide parking space instead of re-adjusting the parking spaces to 2.6m wide and installing two additional parking spaces as shown below.

9. Draft South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/1451222
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Laura Botica, Planner Urban Regeneration John Scallan, Senior Planner Urban Regeneration
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to recommend endorsement of the draft South-East Central ('SE Central') Neighbourhood Plan (Attachment A) for wider consultation. Development of the draft plan has followed, and has been guided by, early community engagement.

1.2 This report is staff generated.

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 perceived level of wider community interest in the plan and the assessed costs and benefits of the proposed neighbourhood plan.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Approve the draft South-East Neighbourhood Plan (Attachment A) for consultation.

2. Note that staff will finalise the document following any feedback from the community board.

3. Note that consultation material on the draft plan will be prepared and will include:

a. sharing the draft plan on the Council’s website, social media and on Newsline,

b. direct notification of parties identified as being affected and/or having an interest,

c. making available the consultation document and draft Plan online and upon request through libraries and service desks,

d. inviting people to provide feedback: online via ‘Korero Mai: Let’s Talk’, by email or in writing.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The South-East Central (SE Central) area is shown below. This neighbourhood is already transforming; Te Kaha is under construction, new residential developments are being built and new businesses are regularly opening in the area. The Council requested staff to investigate measures to ‘further integrate [Te Kaha] with the surrounding community and catalyse regeneration’ (CNCL/2021/00067).

3.2 Community engagement across the last two years has highlighted some key issues in SE Central including: poor connectivity, low amenity on streets, a lack of greening, and a lack of a sense of community.

3.3 This plan will guide the work that the Council, our partners, and the community can do to support the evolving SE Central neighbourhood. The plan sets a vision for how the area may develop into a unique, mixed use neighbourhood over the next 10+ years with a mix of short- and long-term actions. Through encouraging public and private initiatives to align with the vision for this area and supporting coordinated delivery, we can efficiently achieve good outcomes. As a document to guide and align action, the neighbourhood plan will be useful to a variety of groups including developers, elected members, Council staff and the wider community.

3.4 The next stage in development of the plan is formal consultation. Feedback received through this process will enable further refinement of the plan’s content. A final draft will then be prepared for endorsement by the Community Board and adoption by the Council as a guide to decision making.

3.5 Please note the attached draft plan will be formatted into a public facing document prior to formal consultation. There may be minor tweaks to the content as a result.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Option 1- Approve the Draft South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan for consultation.

4.1 This is the preferred option and is discussed in this report.

Option 2 – Do not proceed with a Draft South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan

4.2 This is not the preferred option.

· Advantages of this option: Short to medium term financial savings due to no need for engagement processes or for identification of any Council-led initiatives for potential inclusion in future LTP capital budgets.

· Disadvantages of this option: Would not follow through on the identification of this area as a regeneration priority; doesn’t respond to early engagement which reinforced the need to support the transition of this area; doesn’t action the request of Council to integrate Te Kaha with the surrounding neighbourhood; fails to improve climate resilience imperatives via improved greening and multi-modal shift; would not test approaches and provide leadership on supporting intensification to occur in appropriate locations.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Background

5.1 The neighbourhood plan is focussed on the South-East of the Central City. This area is home to a range of education offerings, hospitality, offices, some light industrial uses, and a growing residential population. A key anchor catalysing growth in this area is Te Kaha, Canterbury’s Multi-Use Arena. The arena is expected to stimulate development and grow the number of people living, visiting, and working in the area. The greater densities enabled through the National Policy Statement on Urban Development will further increase the housing development potential of this area.

5.2 Housing growth is expected to accelerate in the area, which will support the Council ambition for a larger Central City population. However, the area has received a relatively low level of investment (public or private) in amenity related improvements when compared to the more established residential areas of the Central City. This is not unexpected given the prevailing commercial/industrial activity in the area.

5.3 The South-East area will continue to be a mixed-use environment with commercial businesses and residential located together. Some businesses will remain and others are likely to pivot in response to the completion of Te Kaha and the changing needs of the growing residential population. Change is already underway in the area with new commercial and residential investment. We expect to see more high-density residential developments with commercial businesses on the ground floor over time.

5.4 To respond to this change and accelerate the delivery of new housing, the focus needs to be on building the neighbourhood amenity and supporting the transition to a vibrant mixed-use community.

Community views

5.5 During the early engagement phase, we gathered over 600 pieces of feedback from more than 220 community members and groups. Feedback was gathered online and through in-person engagement events.

5.6 A focus for staff was to capture the widest possible range of views. To achieve this engagement, tactics included emails to key stakeholders, discussions with developers and agencies, a neighbourhood get together for residents and businesses, and feedback gathered through the online social pinpoint platform.

5.7 From this feedback, we identified some consistent and popular themes. These have been incorporated into the draft plan and include:

· Good mixed-use neighbours - There is a wide range of businesses in this area that help create a vibrant neighbourhood. A short walk to the services in the core of the city and easy access to everyday services is a key attractor for living in this area.

· Quality housing - People would like housing that is affordable and meets the needs of a wide range of people. Access to sunlight, greenspace and bike parking are important considerations for people wanting to live in this area.

· Healthy, green neighbourhood - The area is lacking greenspace and would benefit from more trees and landscaping.

· Easy and enjoyable to get from A to B - Safety, access and appearance of streets warrants improvement. The area should become cycle and pedestrian friendly.

· Strong sense of community – As a newly evolving community, it doesn’t have an established identity. Residents would value support to build community – through events, a resident group, and spaces to gather.

The draft plan

5.8 The draft plan for SE Central sets direction with the following vision, to be tested with the community:

SE Central is a vibrant community with a mix of activity – something for everyone.

Known for its friendly, creative vibe, this evolving neighbourhood boasts easy access through green links to the many attractions and events of the Central City.

People are attracted to the neighbourhood, drawn by the variety of homes on offer, the range of businesses, Te Kaha on the doorstep and the strong community spirit.

5.9 The draft plan includes several actions, including providing development support and advocacy, addressing public space and greening, improving movement between key places and supporting community connection and identity.

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 Strategic Planning and Policy

· Activity: Strategic Planning, Future Development and Regeneration

· Level of Service: 17.0.20.2 Place-based policy and planning advice to support integrated urban regeneration, city identity, community leadership and place making. - Provide annual regeneration programme report/s to Council, that report on: Central City regeneration projects, including a focus on residential development (P8011)Regeneration projects in priority Suburban Centres, Annual Heritage Festival

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, including:

· The Central City Action Plan which aims for ‘A Central City built on exploration, open to new ideas and ways to work, live and play’. As a mixed-use area, this neighbourhood provides multiple ways to address vacant sites and other amenity issues, support economic prosperity and engage in neighbourhood level planning to grow numbers of residents and visitors.

· The Central City Residential Programme (P8011) which has an ambition of 20,000 residents by 2028. This area of the Central City provides the greatest opportunity for new housing.

· The Christchurch Central Recovery Plan sets a vision for the rebuild of the Central City. The development of SE Central will build on this vision and will be consistent with An Accessible City.

· The Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy sets out how to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. The development of South-East Neighbourhood provides an opportunity to improve resilience to the effects of climate change and reduce transport emissions.

· The Urban Forest Plan sets out guidance to grow the city’s tree canopy cover which includes ambitions to have no ward with less than 15% tree canopy cover and increasing planting on streets.

· The Draft Ōtautahi Transport Plan sets the direction for transport in Christchurch over the next 30 years which includes goals to create safe and healthy streets and a transport system that supports the transition to a low-emission city.

6.4 The Plan is a strong fit across the current city-wide Community Outcomes and, more locally, with the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board Plan’s concern for addressing amenity in areas of high intensification.

6.5 Collectively, this neighbourhood plan provides a mechanism to integrate actions and support delivery of these strategic priorities.

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 Discussions were commenced with Mana Whenua, seeking involvement in the development of this plan. However, it was confirmed that the planning process was not a matter of direct interest and would progress without specific input at this stage, confirming this will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga. Specific elements in the delivery of the SE Neighbourhood Plan may be of interest in due course and will be shared as the project progresses.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.8 The decisions in this report are likely to:

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

· Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.9 This project seeks to assist the facilitation of housing intensification in the Central City. This will support a reduction in travel emissions by enabling more people to live in a major employment centre and have easy access to their everyday needs. Transport is the largest source of emissions in Christchurch, and reducing the need to travel long distances is a key element in reducing those emissions.

6.10 Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of extreme weather. This project will also explore opportunities for increasing tree canopy cover, green spaces and water-sensitive design in the neighbourhood which will absorb carbon dioxide, provide shade, and help absorb rainfall - which will all help the neighbourhood become more resilient to the effects of climate change. The plan may also identify opportunities to repurpose spaces to use existing resources more efficiently.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.11 The implementation of actions in this plan are likely to contribute positively to:

· Improving access around the neighbourhood and encouraging a growth in housing that caters for those with accessibility, disability and impairment challenges.

· Creating parks and public spaces that are inclusive to a wide range of people.

6.12 Throughout the development of this plan, staff have and will continue to meet with key organisations to understand the current challenges and opportunities for a range of communities in this area.

7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1 Cost to complete the work proposed in the decision of this report – The project to prepare a SE Central Neighbourhood Plan is able to be completed within existing resources and budgets.

7.2 The Implementation section of the draft neighbourhood plan identifies operational and capital requirements to deliver the plan.

· Opex Cost to Implement –

· Operational actions (such as building community identity and supporting land use transition) are anticipated to largely be delivered within existing resources and budgets.

· Maintenance/Ongoing costs – Aspects of the neighbourhood plan including developing open space, public realm improvements and increasing the canopy cover, if implemented, will require ongoing maintenance. The costs associated with this will be investigated during the delivery phase.

· Capex Cost to Implement – The Long Term Plan is currently being redrafted, for adoption in June 2024.

· The current LTP includes a package of works to deliver street upgrades surrounding Te Kaha.

· The Central City Active Travel Budget (CPMS ID:63365 - $24m) was introduced into the 2021 – 2031 LTP to support further transport upgrades in the South-East Neighbourhoods and would support a variety of actions identified in the neighbourhood plan. This budget may not be retained in the Draft LTP, therefore enhancements will be further investigated for future LTP’s.

· The collection of Development Contributions (DCs) enables support to capital budgets for new green links. The Draft LTP will include a DC policy to guide future collection of funds.

· Improving neighbourhood resilience to climate change (e.g. through improving the tree canopy in the public realm areas) may require additional funding.

7.3 Completing the SE Central Neighbourhood Plan will provide the guidance to future project and budget decision-making.

8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

8.1 This project will be delivered as part of Council services under the Local Government Act.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

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

9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1 There is a risk that the draft plan may raise community expectations of change that the Council is unable to deliver in the short or medium term because of resource restrictions and different priorities. To address this consultation materials will indicate that implementation is dependent on funding priorities set through Council’s long term planning process.

9.2 The implementation of actions may include some trade-offs including additional maintenance costs associated with a higher level of landscaping, and less carparking in some locations to enable a growth in tree canopy cover.

3.4 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.4.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan

· Welcome Rest Art

In coordination with the Community Partnerships Ranger, some young artists, as part of OCS - Otautahi Creative Spaces, have been temporarily displaying their art in Welcome Rest over the summer as shown here.

· Home of Hoopz Shirley

Council is partnering with Youth and Cultural Development (YCD) to deliver fun, youth friendly events for rangatahi in Christchurch.

House of Hoopz is a city-wide basketball competition with a series of local ward base rounds with a competition final held in late March 2024.

These events will be an opportunity for young basketballers go up against other teams and will also cater for non-basketballers with fades and braids (haircuts and hair braiding), music and free sausage sizzles.

· MacFarlane Park Update

Shirley Village Project used some of their Community-Led funding to upgrade the wharepaku in MacFarlane Park (near Jebson Street, by the community garden) – the inside of toilets have fallen victim to graffiti but not the mural!

Additionally, Shirley Community Trust got funding from the Sustainability Fund for the pergola they installed nearby under budget using a local builder.

· MacFarlane Park Boxing Day Party

On Boxing Day Emmett Street Community Church and the Shirley Community Trust hosted a community party in MacFarlane Park. Andre from the Church reports that: There was a fantastic turnout with approximately 300 locals stopping past to 'party'.

It was quite the party with the sun out, the BBQ going, ice cold drinks, good music, backyard cricket, Jenga, a selection of bouncy castles and of course, a good old-fashioned slip n' slide.

Shirley is such a great community to live in, and it was awesome to spend Boxing Day together. It was wonderful to see so many locals chipping in to help out by supervising the bouncy castles, cooking and serving sausages and generally being helpful.

A big thanks to the CCC for their financial support making it possible to host this fun, free, safe and family-friendly event.

· Langdons Road to Sawyers Arms Road Shared Path Open

The Northern Line shared path between Langdons Road and Sawyers Arms Road railway crossing is complete and open, improving cycle and pedestrian connectivity in the area. This is one of the Board’s priorities in its Board Plan.

3.4.2 Council Engagement and Consultation

· Meet me on Gloucester (feedback timeline set out in link)

The Council is trialling a temporary street upgrade on Gloucester Street, between Manchester and Colombo streets. User feedback and modelling will help plan a possible street renewal to support this rapidly developing area.

The aim is to encourage people to spend more time on Gloucester Street by creating new ways for people to connect, including spaces that champion the performing arts. A vibrant and dynamic streetscape has been developed, which also supports a safe shared road space for everyone to enjoy.

· Consultations in other parts of the district

o Waltham Park Play Space Renewal (consultation dates to be confirmed)

3.5.2 Update on changes to kerbside collection

The national standards for waste collection changed on 1 February, and the Newsline release explaining the changes to us has gone live, with some more detailed FAQs here.

In a nutshell:

What you can place in your yellow, green, and red bins for kerbside collection is changing to make sorting waste easier across the country.

From 1 February, the Government is standardising what materials can be collected from households for recycling and organics across New Zealand.

The only items able to be recycled from home will be plastic bottles, clear meat trays and containers number 1, 2 and 5, food and drink tins and cans, paper and cardboard, and glass bottles and jars.
