8. Overdale Drive - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	23/1746444
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, 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 No Stopping Restrictions on Overdale Drive. This report has been written in response to requests from Overdale Drive residents and staff from Arvida on Cashmere Retirement Village (Rhodes) in response to concerns from their residents.

1.2 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.

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

1.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approve, 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 Overdale Drive in accordance with that shown in the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Overdale Drive Proposed No Stopping Restrictions, TG146837).

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

3. 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 Safety concerns have been raised about parked vehicles blocking visibility to oncoming traffic on Overdale Drive.

3.2 The road is around 8 metres wide which is insufficient to accommodate two way traffic when vehicles are parked on both sides. This requires drivers to slow and check the way is clear before manoeuvring around parked vehicle. This can assist with managing speeds however when vehicles are parked on the bends, visibility to oncoming traffic is often impeded due to the topography and number of vehicles parked in these locations.

3.3 The proposal is intended to restrict parking to improve visibility on the inside of the bends where drivers are making a decision to pass.

3.4 The recommended option improves sight lines and also provides space for drivers to pull to the side to allow oncoming traffic to pass.

3.5 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Extend the no stopping restrictions further around the bends (as per the original consultation plan - Attachment B)

4.1 The advantages of this option include:

4.1.1 Provides unobstructed visibility around the bends, while maintaining parking in advance of the bends to manage speeds.

4.2 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.2.1 Does not address concerns raised through consultation about the loss of on-street parking.

4.2.2 May result in increased speeds in some locations, particularly at times where overall parking demands on this road are low.

Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing

4.3 The advantages of this option include:

4.3.1 No restrictions on on-street parking.

4.4 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.4.1 Does no address any of the concerns raised by residents of this street about parking obstructing visibility to oncoming traffic.

4.4.2 Does not ensure locations are kept clear of parked vehicles so drivers’ have visibility to oncoming traffic when making a decision to pass.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Overdale Drive is a no exit cul-de-sac accessing off Dyers Pass Road.

5.2 The Rhodes retirement village is located towards the top end of the road, all other properties are residential.

5.3 A highly variable parking demand has been observed on Overdale Drive over the last six months. Consistently higher demands for parking observed around the retirement village and immediately uphill of this address. While these vehicles are parked near the village, a number of these vehicles are from the residential properties.

5.4 A search of the NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System did not identify any crashes on this road over the last ten years. However, residents have reported having near misses on this road. The proposal has been developed to reduce the risk of a crash, particularly during times where there is a high parking demand on Overdale Drive.

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

5.6 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

5.7 All residents and property owners of Overdale Drive were advised of the proposal by letter. 52 letters were issued. The proposal was also emailed to the manager of Rhodes Retirement Village.

5.8 16 submissions were received, a copy of all submissions is included as Attachment C.

5.9 12 submissions were supportive of no stopping lines on Overdale Drive, however the majority of these submissions included further comments and suggestions. These included requests to extend the no stopping lines outside the retirement village (between 4-8 Overdale Drive) and towards the intersection of Dyers Pass Road. This feedback was largely from residents who live lower down the hill.

5.10 Four submissions were opposed to the proposal. Reasons for opposing the proposal included loss of on-street parking and concerns about increased speeds.

5.11 A summary of the main points raised in submissions and a staff response to these comments is attached as Attachment D.

5.12 Staff amended the proposal in response to consultation feedback and further investigation, including multiple site visits to further observe parking demands. The changes include reducing the length of the proposed no stopping lines to alleviate some residents’ concerns about the loss of on street parking. An example is outside 4 Overdale Drive where two parking spaces have been retained. As shown in Figure 1 below, drivers have the opportunity to have an initial view of oncoming traffic to the left of the two parked vehicles. A section of no stopping restrictions is still recommended downhill of these vehicles to maintain this view and allow space for divers to pull in to give way to oncoming traffic if needed.

5.13 It is acknowledged that reducing the restrictions is inconsistent with what a number of residents have requested, however this will be monitored, and further changes can be considered in future if warranted.

5.14 There are also other factors that have been considered such as the proposal to reduce the speed limit on Overdale Drive to 30km/h as part of Councils Draft Speed Management Plan, this is however still subject to approval. There is also construction activity currently occurring immediately uphill of the retirement village which is temporarily generating further parking demand in this immediate vicinity.

5.15 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

9. 48 Battersea Street - Proposed Parking Time Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1496
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Acting General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, jane.parfitt@ccc.govt.nz

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve changes to the parking time restrictions on four parking spaces on Battersea Street between Durham Street South and Colombo Street. The changes include reducing three parking spaces from P120 to P30, and implementing a P120 time restriction for the adjacent mobility space. This report has been written in response to a request from a business owner for more short term parking to be provided for visitors and customers.

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

1.4 The recommended option is to amend the parking time restrictions on Battersea Street 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, and in accordance with section 12.4 of the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004, that

a. the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 30 minutes between the hours of 8.00am and 6.00pm Monday to Sunday, on the south side of Battersea Street, commencing at a point 91 metres west of its intersection with Colombo Street, and extending west for a distance of nine metres. These parks are further restricted to 90˚angle parking relative to the kerb line.

b. that the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 120 minutes and be reserved for vehicles with an approved disabled person’s parking permit, prominently displayed in the vehicle, on the south side of Battersea Street, commencing at a point 81 metres west of its intersection with Colombo Street and extending west for a distance of three metres. This restriction is to apply at any time. These parks are further restricted to 90˚angle parking relative to the kerb line.

2. Revokes, any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with resolutions 1a and 1b above.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Battersea Street, between Durham Street South and Colombo Street provides access to commercial and retail activities.

3.2 P120 parking is provided outside 48 Battersea Street, however there is insufficient turnover of these spaces to provide parking for customers and visitors of this property. This has been an ongoing issue for some years. The business has requested for three parking spaces to be reduced from P120 to P30, and a time restriction of P120 to be placed on the mobility park in this location.

3.3 The Council’s Suburban Parking Policy states that shorter timed parking restrictions can be considered in commercial areas when the occupancy of time restricted spaces regularly exceeds 75% at peak times. Site visits have confirmed that parking occupancy on this section of Battersea Street is near 100% during peak periods. The proposal is therefore consistent with this Policy.

3.4 The recommended option is to amend the timed parking restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do nothing

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 There are no identified advantages to this option.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the concerns raised by the local business about the lack of short term parking options for visitors and customers.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 All businesses in this area have off-street parking, however at times this is insufficient to fully accommodate the parking demands of the businesses, particularly during peak periods. Around 85% of on-street parking on this section of Battersea Street, has timed parking restrictions in place. These range from P30 to P120, with around seven unrestricted spaces provided at the western end.

5.2 There is only one mobility parking space provided on this street, a P120 time restriction is proposed for this space which is consistent with others around the City.

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 business at 48 Battersea Street confirmed their support for the proposal. Consultation letters were also delivered to two other affected businesses on 28 November 2023. No further feedback was received.

5.6 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the recommended option.

5.7 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to manage on-street parking in this location.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

10. Wilsons Road South Pedestrian Crossing - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/2223
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions on Wilsons Road South to improve visibility of pedestrians waiting at the Zebra Crossing, located immediately south of Gamblins Road. This report has been written in response to a concern from a member of the public about parked vehicles impeding visibility of pedestrians crossing from the east side of the road, outside the New World supermarket.

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

1.4 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on the northeast side of Wilsons Road South, commencing from a point 13 metres southeast of Gamblins Road, measured from the prolongation of the kerbline, and extending in a southeast direction for a distance of nine metres, as shown on the plan provided as Attachment A to this report (Wilsons Road South Pedestrian Crossing, TG146883, dated 27/11/2023).

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

3. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings 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 No Stopping restrictions are already marked on all approaches to this pedestrian crossing, however due to the alignment of the kerb on the east side, pedestrians can be obstructed from view by parked vehicles if they are waiting in certain areas within the tactile pavers.

3.2 The approach sight distance, which is the distance for a vehicle to observe a pedestrian waiting to cross and stop safely for them, is 48 metres for a road with a 50km/h operating speed. It is recommended that the no stopping lines on the northeast side of Wilsons Road South are extended by nine metres to achieve this standard.

3.3 This assessment is indicatively shown in Figure 1 below. The sight distance is only impeded for this approach scenario. Appropriate sight distance is provided in all other directions of vehicle approach and pedestrian crossing movement.

3.4 The recommended option is to extend the No Stopping lines by nine metres, in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 Retains one on-street parking space.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the identified safety issue with parked vehicles impeding visibility to pedestrians.

4.3.2 Does not fully meet current standards for visibility at a crossing point.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The parking area associated with this proposal is restricted to 30 minutes. Parking occupancy is observed to be low to moderate in this section. A New World supermarket is located on the east side of the crossing however the majority of the parking associated with this development is accommodated on site.

5.2 A search of the NZ Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified two reported crashes at this crossing over the last ten years, one resulting in serious injury to a pedestrian on the crossing. Based on the factors stated in the Crash Analysis System, the proposal would not have had an impact on the outcome of this crash. However other improvement measures to improve the prominence of the crossing, such as marking red surfacing on the approaches, are also being considered.

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

Community Views and Preferences

5.4 The two adjacent residential property owners were advised of the recommended option by letter. No feedback was received.

5.5 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.6 The do-nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve safety in this location.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

11. Woodlau Rise - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1856
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer, toni.dakers@ccc.govt.nz
General Manager Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, General Manager Citizens & Community (Mary.Richardson@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve the installation of No Stopping restrictions on Woodlau Rise, approaching the intersection with Centaurus Road. This report has been written in response to a concern from a member of the public about parked vehicles impeding visibility and access near the intersection.

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

1.4 The recommended option is to extend the No Stopping restrictions on the south side of Woodlau Rise by five metres, in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times on the southwest side of Woodlau Rise, commencing at its intersection with Centaurus Road, and extending in a southeast direction for a distance of 17.5 metres.

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

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 No Stopping restrictions are currently marked on both sides of Woodlau Rise, approaching its intersection with Centaurus Road. On the south side these restrictions extend approximately 12.5 metres from the intersection. This leaves a gap for one vehicle to park immediately west of the driveway to 2A Woodlau Rise. When a vehicle is parked in this location drivers are required to encroach over the marked centreline to manoeuvre around them. Visibility is limited in this location due to the proximity to the intersection.

3.2 Furthermore, the gap between the driveway and the end of the existing No Stopping restrictions is only five metres. This is insufficient for most vehicles to park while still maintaining the required one metre clearance to the driveway.

3.3 The recommended option is to extend the No Stopping restrictions by five metres, in accordance with Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Maintain the status quo – Do Nothing

4.2 The advantages of this option include:

4.2.1 Retains one on-street parking space for a small vehicle.

4.3 The disadvantages of the option include:

4.3.1 Does not address the identified safety issue about vehicles encroaching onto the opposite side of the road to manoeuvre around a parked vehicle.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Woodlau Rise is a residential no exit road with access from Centaurus Road. It is around eight metres wide and intersects with Centaurus Road immediately opposite a busy restaurant and group of local shops.

5.2 There have been no crashes reported on Woodlau Rise or at the Woodlau Rise / Centaurus Road intersection over the last ten years. While no crashes have been reported, the proposal is intended to reduce the risk of a crash and address an ongoing concern regarding access and visibility in this location.

Community Views and Preferences

5.4 Affected property owners and residents were advised of the recommended option by letter. A total of four letters were issued.

5.5 Two submissions were received. Both were fully supportive of the proposal. One of these submissions was from the resident who originally raised the concern.

5.6 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.7 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve safety in this location.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

12. Victoria Park - Orion Cable Easement
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	23/2119287
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Nigel Collings, Property Consultant (Nigel.Collings@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 The purpose of this report is to request the Community Board exercise its delegation, to approve an easement over land governed under the Reserves Act 1977.

1.2 This report has originated from the proposed EV charger to be installed in the Victoria Park car park. An electrical easement in favour of Orion is required to install a new power cable and transformer for the EV charger.

1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering; the necessity of the cable and transformer, and the minimal impact on park users in relation to the cable and transformer occupation within the site.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approves the granting of a new easement in favour of Orion New Zealand Limited, to convey electricity and install a transformer in ‘Victoria Park’ reserve land, held in CB657/51

2. Notes that 1. above will be subject to the consent of the Minister of Conservation as per Section 48 (1) of the Reserves Act 1977. In this regard, endorses the Chief Executive, acting under sub delegation from the Council, to exercise the Minister of Conservation’s consent to the easement, as delegated to the Council from the Minister under the Instrument of Delegation for Territorial Authorities dated 12 June 2013.

3. Delegates authority to the Manager Property Consultancy, to conclude and sign all documentation in relation to 1. above.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Staff recommend the granting of an easement in favour of Orion New Zealand, given the power cabling is an intrinsic asset relating to the operation of the Parks Unit

3.2 The granting of an electrical easements to Orion over park land, is a routine standard process for Council.

3.3 The proposed underground cabling will have minimal impact on the public and will not affect access to any other assets.

3.4 Staff support the granting of the new easement and recommend that the Board exercise it’s delegation for the process to proceed.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Do not grant an easement to Orion – the electrical cable and transformer is required to power the EV charger, so if an easement is not granted then Orion will not proceed with the install, which will create a sub-par result for Council’s Park Unit.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 ‘Victoria Park’ is a large neighbourhood park, addressed as 101 Victoria Park Rd, with public access from Victoria Park Road. The primary uses of the land includes mountain biking and walking tracks.

5.2 The land is contained within property title CB657/51. The property title is notated as subject to ‘Part II Reserves and Domains Act 1953’, which was superseded by the Reserves Act 1977. The land is therefore subject to the provisions of that Act.

5.3 The legal method of formalising this occupation is through an easement instrument registered on the property title. This is a common and low risk process; however, does continue in perpetuity until surrendered by the easement holder. The easement area will incur minimal impact on the park and associated users.

5.4 Refer to Attachment A for plans of the proposed install, the required easement area highlighted in yellow and blue.

5.5 The installation of electrical cables/kiosks/transformers on Council parks is a common arrangement throughout the city. In this instance, parks staff see no inconsistencies, and support approving the granting of an easement.

5.6 Typically, the easement Grantee is required to pay the Grantor a one-off compensation sum. However, in this instance, as the primary purpose of the cabling is to supply power at the request of that council to support its EV initiatives, no compensation shall be charged to Orion and an easement is recommended to be granted on otherwise standard terms.

5.7 Under the Reserves Act 1977 Section 48, it is not necessary to seek the community’s views or consult over the proposal where the reserve is not being materially altered or permanently damaged. In this specific case, the cabling will be installed underground and the process to grant an easement to Orion will not affect the public’s rights or ability to access the park in general. Further, the cabling contributes to beneficial outcomes from the wider project, which will enhance the public’s enjoyment of the reserve area. The cycleway project also incurred substantial public consultation through its concept, design, and funding phases.

5.8 Staff recommend that the Community Board exercise its delegation and approve the granting of a new easement in favour of Orion New Zealand Limited, subject to the Council’s Chief Executive in turn exercising the Minister of Conservation’s consent to the easement.

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

5.9.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

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.

6.6 The decision does not impact on Mana Whenua as the location is not a site of significance, nor does the granting of an easement impact on any cultures or values.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.7 The decisions in this report are likely to:

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

6.7.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.8 The granting of an easement will contribute to a successful project, which holds positive climate change implications.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.9 The granting of an easement to Orion for the underground cable, and above ground transformer will not affect the public’s accessibility to the park area.

13. Grant an Easment over Waterworks Reserve 109 Scruttons Road Heathcote Christchurch.
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/88325
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Colin Windleborn Property Consultant colin.windleborn@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 Provide an easement over Council Reserve for a petroleum pipeline which has been in existance for over 70 years.

1.2 Mobil Oil have requested an easement for their pipeline.

1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the request being a retrospective consent for an existing pipeline which does not affect the ability to utilise a Council reserve.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Approves the granting of an easement in favour of Mobil Oil New Zealand for the conveyance of petroleum products and associated services within the land described in the Schedule One.

2. Notes that 1. above will be subject to the consent of the Minister of Conservation as per Section 48 (1) of the Reserves Act 1977. In this regard, endorses the Chief Executive, acting under delegation from the Council, to exercise the Minister of Conservation’s consent to the easement, as delegated to the Council from the Minister under the Instrument of Delegation for Territorial Authorities dated 12 June 2013.

3. Delegates authority to the Manager Property Consultancy, to conclude and sign all documentation in relation to 1. above.

Schedule One

Part Rural Section 77 CB431/101

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Staff recommend the granting of an easement for the pipeline which has been in existence for over 70 years.

3.2 The location of the pipeline through the reserve will have minimal impact on the public and will not affect access to the Council facilities upon the reserve.

Staff do not object to the granting of the easement and recommend that the Board exercise it’s delegation for the process to proceed.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 There is no other practical option other than to grant the easement, as the pipeline has been in existence for over 70 years with no known problems being experienced by its occupation.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The property at 109 Scruttons Road Heathcote has the Scruttons Booster Water Supply Pump station constructed upon it.

5.2 The property is held in two titles, established by the Lyttelton Waterworks Transfer Act 1878. Attachment A -One title is fee simple held in the name of Banks Peninsula District Council- Lot 2 DP 80124 CB45D/913 and the other title which is the subject of this report is held as a waterworks reserve under The Reserves and Other Lands Disposal and Public Bodies Empowering Act 1922 in the name of Lyttelton Borough Council. --Schedule One

5.3 An application to amend the latter title to correct ownership will need to be made before the easement can be registered. Attachment C

5.4 In 1992 as part of a subdivision application of adjoining land, Mobil Oil New Zealand obtained an easement over part of the property (described in 5.2) but not the land in Schedule One as this title has a different status and ownership.

5.5 In 1993 a plan was prepared – DP 63114 which shows an easement in favour of Mobil Oil New Zealand over the land in the Schedule, but this never progressed beyond this stage. Attachment B

5.6 Formalising Mobil’s request is through an easement instrument registered on the title. This is a common and low risk process; however, does continue in perpetuity until surrendered by the easement holder. The easement area required, is 155m² (subject to final survey) and will incur minimal impact on the reserve and associated users.

5.7 The installation of utilities within Council reserves is a common arrangement throughout the city. In this instance, utilities staff see no inconsistencies, and support approving the granting of an easement.

5.8 Typically, the easement Grantee is required to pay the Grantor a one-off compensation sum, however in this instance given the age of the occupation, no Compensation shall be sought, and an easement is recommended to be granted on otherwise standard terms. Mobil Oil will pay the costs associated with processing the application.

5.9 Under the Reserves Act 1977 Section 48, it is not necessary to seek the community’s views or consult over the proposal where the reserve is not being materially altered or permanently damaged. In this case, the services are installed underground and the process to grant an easement will not affect the public’s rights or ability to access the reserve in general.

5.10 Staff recommend that the Community Board exercise its delegation and approve the granting of a new easement in favour of Mobil Oil New Zealand Limited subject to the Council’s Chief Executive in turn exercising the Minister of Conservation’s consent to the easement.

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

5.11.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1 The granting of an easement to Mobile Oil New Zealand over reserve land is consistent with Councils policies and practices.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.6 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.

6.7 The decision does not impact on Mana Whenua as the location is not a site of significance, nor does the granting of an easement impact on any cultures or values.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.9 The decision is to grant an easement for a pipeline which has been in existence for over 70 years.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

14. RRZ Temporary Land Use Application - 53 Horotane Valley Road for native plant propagation purposes
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/128519
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Dave Little, Manager Residential Red Zone Sarah Mankelow - Community Partnership Ranger, RRZ
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community (Andrew.Rutledge@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to determine the outcome of a Temporary Land Use (TLU) application within the Residential Red Zone.

1.2 The report has been written in response to an application by Red Tree Environmental to extend their lease at 53 Horotane Valley Road for the purpose of native plant propagation.

1.3 The decision in this report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the relatively low number of people affected by the proposal, the unlikely long-term impacts to Council of any decision and the fact that no funding is required from Council.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Grant a Temporary Land Use (TLU) to Red Tree Environmental Solutions to lease 53 Horotane Valley Road for the purpose of plant propagation.

2. The TLU shall be an extension of their current lease, for a period of three years, reviewed annually against compliance with the conditions.

3. Request clauses are included in the lease that ensure:

a. Removal of all structures at the end of the lease period.

b. Measures to address concerns raised by the immediate neighbour at 49 Horotane Valley Road, as described in section 5.14.

c. Measures to address geotechnical concerns, as per section 5.5.3-5.5.4 of this memo.

d. Suitable commercial terms are established.

4. Decline the application if geotechnical concerns cannot be resolved.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 This report has been officer generated, in response to an application by Red Tree Environmental Solutions Ltd, which is included as Attachment A.

3.2 Red Tree have been operating on the site under a TLU since 2018, initially granted by LINZ (on behalf of the Crown as landowner). This lease transferred to Council in 2021 when the land was transferred from the Crown to Council.

3.3 Specific consultation has been carried out with residents on Horotane Valley Road, which has influenced the details of the recommended lease clauses (refer section 5.14).

3.4 Notwithstanding the above, Council staff have no specific concerns with the operation in general.

3.5 During review of this application, it was noted that the original LINZ lease that Council took over was set up on a $1 peppercorn rental. As Red Tree are a commercial entity, staff recommend that this lease value is set at a similar level to the Trees for Canterbury operation, which would be a value of $5000 annually.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Decline the proposal

4.1 Advantages of this option are that the concerns of the immediate neighbour at #49 (discussed later) would be addressed.

4.2 The disadvantages of this option include:

· Council would need to take over maintenance of the site again, incurring costs of mowing and carrying out other maintenance activities.

· The site could become subject to dumping and other illicit activities, which was noted by other submitters to have occurred prior to Red Tree leasing the site.

· The broader environmental benefits offered by Red Tree via their operations would be disrupted while they relocate.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The application is being submitted by Red Tree Environmental Solutions Ltd.

5.2 The purpose of the lease is for plant propagation and nursery.

5.3 The location is 53 Horotane Valley Road, shown below.

Description automatically generated

5.4 The duration requested is ongoing. However, due to possible future revegetation of red zone properties in this area, the geotechnical risk and the issues raised by their immediate neighbour, staff recommend three years.

5.5 Council staff are generally supportive of this application, although there are geotechnical risk matters to work through via details of the site specific Health and Safety Plan. Staff feedback is included verbatim in the Engagement Summary (Appendix C), as a summary:

5.5.1 No ecological issues noted, Red Tree have been maintaining the wider site well

5.5.2 No particular Transport issues noted, although some detailed recommendations made for the lease document

5.5.3 Detailed feedback from the Geotech team is that the site of operations is in a high rockfall hazard area, and that the mitigating effect of the Macrocarpa hedge uphill of the site cannot be relied on. This means that hazards on the site need to be carefully managed by way of the site-specific Health and Safety Plan.

5.5.4 Our Principal Geotechnical Advisor has reviewed the Health and Safety Plan and recommended the following amendments:

· Avoid the Rockfall Management Area (within the red polygon) if any of the following triggering criteria have been met:

o Earthquake with local ground shaking intensity of MM7 (difficulty standing, some structures damaged) or higher. In case of such an event, the area should not be accessed until it has been assessed and determined to be safe by a suitably qualified/experienced geo-professional; or

o Rain event with predicted or actual rainfall >40mm within 24 hours or 50mm for the duration of the event; or

o Any observed rockfall or land movement on the slope above or below the site.

5.6 The applicant has also submitted:

· A site-specific Health and Safety Plan (Attachment B)

Community Views and Preferences

5.7 The delegation policy states that prior to exercising these delegations, the Head of Parks will publish any proposal for feedback on the Council’s website for a minimum of 20 working days. This process has been completed. Due to the nature of the proposal, staff also undertook a letter drop to all residences on Horotane Valley Road, as well as informing the Summit Road Society.

5.8 This proposal has completed its feedback period, and four submissions were received. Of these, three were supportive and one was opposed. A summary of the submissions is provided in Attachment C.

5.9 Matters noted by those in support included:

5.9.1 Red Tree’s contribution to native restoration in the Canterbury area – most notably via their ‘Enviroblanket’, which is a native hydroseeding product suitable for difficult sites.

5.9.2 Husbandry of the site, including management of fire risk by removing dead plant material

5.9.3 Contribution of plants and advice for restoration to local residents.

5.10 Matters noted by those in opposition included:

5.10.1 Increased traffic on Horotane Valley Road, causing safety and nuisance issues. This issue was also noted by the Summit Road Society, in their submission of support.

5.10.2 Dust, noise, sediment control and visual issues

5.10.3 Operations on the site being incompatible with the terms of the lease, and with the District Plan

5.11 The opposing submitter also included some photos, which are included as Attachment D.

Discussion on Community Views

5.12 The proposal clearly has some community support, as well as operational benefits for Council and wider ecological restoration benefits for the city and region.

5.13 However it is clear that as the operation has grown, it has impacted negatively on the closest neighbour (49 Horotane Valley Road) and this is partly due to them carrying out activities that were not in the scope of their lease. We note that they did not seek approval to carry out these activities. The submitter at #49 has noted that they are not in opposition to the original intent of the lease (plant propagation).

5.14 Accordingly, we propose tightening up the clauses of the lease to reduce the negative impacts being experienced by #49. This includes clauses as below:

5.14.1 No sales to the public from the site.

5.14.2 Installation of measures to prevent silt running off the site and down Horotane Valley Road.

5.14.3 No processing of off-site material on site, including cutting, composting and other activities that may generate noise/dust or environmental effects.

5.14.4 Chainsaws not to be used on site, except for the purposes of site vegetation management. Pruning of vegetation on site to occur at the original location only.

5.14.5 No removal of any tree (as defined in Council’s Tree Policy) without written approval of the landowner.

5.14.6 No earthworking to be carried out by machinery without written approval of the landowner.

5.14.7 Installation of around 300sqm of native planting in the area between the storage yard and 49 Horotane Valley Road, to screen visual impacts.

5.15 We also propose an annual review of the lease to ensure that these clauses are being followed.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The objective of the Coastal Pathway, Moncks Bay shared path is to deliver a shared pathway connection route to the Coastal Pathway for pedestrians and cyclists, arriving at Redcliffs Village and travelling through Redcliffs Village.

3.2 As part of the Coastal Pathway, Moncks Bay project, a section of Redcliffs Business District Main Road requires minor safety improvements to the Coastal Pathway shared path through the Redcliffs Village to provide a safe and user-friendly environment for all users of the Coastal Pathway and Redcliffs Village.

3.3 The recommendations will increase the signage, pavement markings and widen the width of the Coastal Pathway pavement through Redcliffs Village to reduce the at risk users being hit by cycles and scooters using Coastal Pathway through the Redcliffs Village by installing pavement markings and signage warning/advising cycles and scooters to go slow.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Option - The Do-Nothing approach

4.1.1 The do-nothing option would mean that on completion of Coastal Pathway the Redcliffs Village would have no pavement markings or signage advising this area is a shared zone for pedestrians and cyclists. The do-nothing option is not being recommended as it does not meet the project objectives or provide any benefits to the wider community by not providing safe connection to the Coastal Pathway and will not improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists.

4.1.2 Advantages

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 The project team have door knocked the businesses and met with organisations in the project area to get their comments prior to developing the consultation scheme design.

5.2 On Monday 4 September members of the project team door-knocked and delivered a letter and plan of changes to Main Road to all businesses within Redcliffs Village. The letter and plan were posted under the door of all businesses that were closed. We also delivered the information to 103 – 125 and 133 - 135 Main Road, within the vicinity of the proposed pedestrian refuge islands at Cave Terrace. The information was sent to Redcliffs Residents Association and the Coastal Pathway Group who shared it with their networks. If anyone had any comments or concerns, they were able to email these through to the Project Manager.

5.3 Feedback from Redcliffs Residents Association was to focus on retaining car parking and the bus stop location to reduce loss of business due to removal of car parking at the business frontages.

5.4 The businesses spoken to were happy with the proposed changes within the village if there was a focus on retaining car parking and the bus stop location to reduce loss of business due to removal of car parking at the business frontages. No further feedback was received from them.

5.5 Twelve emails were received with six raising concerns about the location and need for the new pedestrian refuge islands at Cave Terrace. The concerns raised were related to:

· Loss of parking

· New building proposed within the vicinity of the island, and this would impede access.

· Two safe crossing points already within close proximity and this section of Main Road does not generate a lot of people crossing.

· Reduced visibility while exiting properties.

5.6 We also received general feedback or questions regarding the bus stop location, parking on the south side of Main Road and the Wakatu Avenue crossing facility and these were responded to directly.

5.7 There is known to be a consented residential development featuring 22 houses and a 127 sq.m retail/commercial facility situated within the former New World site, at the corner of Augusta Street and Main Road. Consent was granted in November 2023.

5.8 The development's traffic impact on the surrounding road network is expected to be significantly lower than that of a supermarket. This is due to the reduced traffic associated with both entry and exit points of the site and the reduced overall traffic generated by the residential development.

The retention of existing vehicle accessways, coupled with provisions for resident parking in the project plans, ensures that the new development is unlikely to adversely affect traffic flow and parking demand in the surrounding road network.

5.9 Monitoring of the Redcliffs Village safety improvements will be undertaken by:

· Monitoring hybris tickets.

· Feedback from other sources such (e.g. staff or elected members).

· On site monitoring during busy times.

· Reviewing CCTV camera footage from camera at this location.

· Surveys of speeds and cycle counts for this section through the village.

· Data from 3^rd party sources.

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

15 February 2024

16. Naming Report - South Library & Service Centre Rebuild
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/7003
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	John Filsell, Head of Community Support & Partnerships
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community (Andrew.Rutledge@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to consider and approve the new name and cultural narrative for the rebuild of the South Library and Service Centre on the current site at 66 Colombo Street.

1.2 The mandated mana whenua representative presented the cultural narrative and naming to the Community Board on 14 December 2023.

1.3 The decision in this report is not of high significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. However, the decision to accept the gifted name and narrative is of high importance to the Council’s partnering relationship Te Hononga and mana whenua rūnanga. The new name and narrative is also of interest to the community and users of this facility.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1. Accepts the name Ōmōkihi and the cultural context and design narrative that has been gifted by Ngāi Tūāhuriri to the Christchurch City Council to be used for the rebuilt library and customer service centre located in Cashmere.

2. Approves Ōmōkihi as the permanent name for the facility.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The existing facility has a bi-lingual name South Library and Service Centre - Te Kete Wānanga o Wai Mōkihi.

3.2 As the facility is being demolished and rebuilt it is appropriate to give a new name to the new building. This new name needs to be agreed and confirmed.

3.3 The Christchurch City Council staff engaged with mana whenua via Whitiora in relation to the development of a cultural context and design narrative that can be integrated into the design of the new building.

3.4 Mana whenua have recommended the name of Ōmōkihi for the new facility as gifted by Ngāi Tūāhuriri.

3.5 Accepting the name gifted by Ngāi Tūāhuriri builds on the relationship with Ngāi Tahu Papatipu Rūnanga and the Te Hononga – Council Papatipu Rūnanga partnership, reflecting mutual understanding and respect. Strengthens our commitment to promoting equity, valuing diversity and fostering inclusion.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Retaining the bi-lingual name South Library and Service Centre - Te Kete Wānanga o Wai Mōkihi was considered but discounted as the existing building is being demolished and replaced by a new facility. Reusing the old name does not embrace the opportunity to reflect mana whenua and their current approach to the naming of new buildings.

4.2 Combining Ōmōkihi with an English descriptor to incorporate the location and function of the facility within the name could be seen as supporting communication to a wider audience. However, this is not a new facility per se, as it’s a rebuild of the existing facility, which is already well known to the receiving community, so an English descriptor is not necessary.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Ngāi Tūāhuriri gifted the name of Ōmōkihi which symbolically means “a collective space where all are welcome.” The name Ōmōkihi is consistent with the Ngāi Tūāhuriri practice of naming of buildings, preferring the traditional practice whakahaumanu te papatupu restoring the customary title to the land beneath the building. In doing this they reaffirm the endurance and resilience of their environment. The name is then transferable to the building which stands upon this place. The cultural context of the name is included in Attachment A of this report.

5.2 The name gives effect to the Council’s partnering relationship Te Hononga and the mana whenua rūnanga, strengthening our commitment to our on-going bi-cultural relationship.

5.3 The name is meaningful and reflects the importance of the facility’s connection to the site.

5.4 Once formally confirmed, the gifted name will be integrated into all marketing and communications material moving forward. Communications material has been developed to announce the gifted name to stakeholders and the wider community.

5.5 Whitiora have prepared a cultural context and design narrative to be woven through the design of the South Library and Service Centre (working title) and is included as Attachment B to this report.

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

5.6.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

6. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic AlignmentTe Rautaki Tīaroaro

6.1 Adopting the name aligns with the Community Outcomes of celebrating our identity through arts, culture and heritage, valuing the voices of all cultures and a strong sense of community.

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

6.3 Citizens and communities

6.3.1 Activity: Libraries

· Level of Service: 3.1.3.3 Access to information via walk-in, library website, phone, email, professional assistance and digital access to library services. - Maintain number of reference and research enquiries .

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 This decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, including the Branding Policy and Naming Policy.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.5 The decision has significance in relation to ancestral land, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

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

6.7 Ngāi Tūāhuriri gifted the name of Ōmōkihi which symbolically means “a collective space where all are welcome.” The name Ōmōkihi is consistent with the Ngāi Tūāhuriri practice of not naming of buildings, preferring the traditional practice of whakahaumanu te papatupu | restoring the customary title to the land beneath the building. In doing this they reaffirm the endurance and resilience of their environment. The name is then transferable to the building which stands upon this place. It is for these reasons that the name of the former swamp and kaika (settlement) ‘Ōmōkihi’ be restored to the land and thus gifted to the complex that will occupy this site. The cultural context of the name and the cultural context and design narrative are included in attachments A and B of this report.

6.8 The Council’s Te Aporei Whakawhānaunga ā Tiriti has confirmed that the Treaty Relationships Team endorses the acceptance of the gifted name, Ōmōkihi and the associated cultural narrative.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.10 Naming a facility does not create climate change impact.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

6.11 There are no accessibility considerations to naming a facility.

7. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

7.1 Cost to Implement – The incorporation of a name and provision to accommodate broad elements of a cultural narrative has already been factored into the project design and signage budget and therefore does not have any additional cost implication.

7.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs – There are no ongoing costs from making these changes.

7.3 Funding Source – Operating budgets and capital on plan.

8. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

8.1 The Community Board has authority to approve the naming of facilities within its ward boundaries.

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

8.2 The legal consideration is compliance with trademark requirements. The Council’s Marketing Unit will ensure compliance.

9. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

9.1 The bi-lingual name South Library and Service Centre - Te Kete Wānanga o Wai Mōkihi has been used for a long period of time. To mitigate this and have Ōmōkihi become familiar staff will provide partners including customers with the naming narrative to give meaning and relevance. Effective communications, marketing and wayfinding signage will use the new name, Ōmōkihi.

10. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

10.1 If the Community Board accepts the new name, Ōmōkihi;

10.1.1 An information memo will be prepared to advise the Mayor and Councillors of the new name.

10.1.2 The new name will be applied to all project documents moving forward.

10.1.3 The project website will be updated and a Newsline article will be prepared to share the context and meaning of the name with elected members and the public.

10.1.4 A formal letter will be sent to mana whenua via Whitiora thanking them for the gift of the cultural narrative and name and advising that the name has been accepted.

Isla Cook Cashmere High School 2023 Music Tour, Australia

The funding provided from Community Board helped towards the total overall trip. Working with students from other schools was an amazing experience because it allowed me to work with new people and learn new music. I also got to experience working with different conductors which meant different styles which I think greatly benefitted my playing.

I got to experience first-hand what studying music in university looks like. This and the incredible talent of the people I saw performing both in the school and at the Manly jazz festival has made me eager to continue learning music and possibly to study it in the future.

· Date change for Kite Day 2024

· Response to Correspondence, Howard Street

4.5 At the 27 July 2023 Briefing, during Elected Members Exchange the Board agreed to request staff investigate extending no stopping lines on Woodlau Rise Centaurus Road intersection to the driveway of 2A Woodlau Rise. Staff advised: No stopping lines are supported in this location due to the proximity to the intersection and since the gap is only around five metres long which is too small for most vehicles to legally park, while still providing the required 1 metre clearance to the adjacent driveway.

A consultation plan has been drawn up to extend the no stopping lines through to the driveway, as requested. Consultation documents will be sent out to affected residents later this week (week ending 1 December 2023) and a report will be presented to the Community Board for a decision at the first meeting in the new year.

4.6 At the 14 September meeting the Board requested a site visit to Ultimate Care Bishop Selwyn be arranged with members, staff and the facility manager to talk through the issue of safety at the entrance of Ultimate Care Bishop Selwyn, in order to fully understand the issue and devise a practical solution. Update: Staff have looked at options and support installing a ‘Keep Clear’ box to alleviate the issues raised by the residents. Staff are in the process of getting a quote and confirming funding and will send through further information when there is an indication of install timeframes.

4.7 At the 14 December 2023 during the public forum session a resident raised the regular congestion at the Bus stops on Wilsons Road. The Board refers the issues raised in the public forum presentation by Mr Dunford regarding the: b) Bus stops on Wilsons Road (37001 and 32146), to staff for advice on managing the congestion. Staff responded:

These bus stops are timing points, where some buses stop longer to keep the timetable working better. With increasing the frequency now, we have been facing congestion at these bus stops, particularly at outbound stop 32146 as recently raised by ECan and bus operators.

We have a project underway which includes providing longer bus boxes at these bus stops. At the moment, contractors have been asked to come up with concept plans and once we proceed the next steps (design and public engagement), we will present a report to Community Board for approval.

4.8 At the 14 December 2023 during the public forum session a resident raised concerns regarding the repeated road damage at the corner of Wades Avenue and Wilsons Road. The Board requested staff give advice on possible alternative treatments for the intersection to manage the heavy vehicles that use it. Staff responded:

A vehicle tracking assessment has been undertaken for an 11-metre rigid truck and larger B-train truck to check if there is enough clearance for these vehicles to turn between Wilsons Road and Wades Road without mounting the kerb. The assessment has confirmed that both vehicles are able to turn at the intersection within the existing carriageway.

Based on the assessment, increasing the radius of the kerb to make it easier for larger vehicles to turn is not warranted. This is also not supported from a safety perspective as it would result in higher speeds which is less safe for all road users, particularly pedestrians crossing Wades Road. Staff have reviewed the overall layout of the intersection and determined that no further measures are currently warranted at this location.
