3. Background/Context Te Horopaki
3.1 The event organisers have indicated that they have undertaken direct notifications to impacted parties, which is required as part of the road closure application process. The event organisers will provide a record of any feedback received, from impacted parties to the Subcommittee in advance of the scheduled meeting or the organisers may present the information in person to the Subcommittee.
3.2 Public notification was carried out through publication in The Press and on the Council website. The period allowing for objections to be received meets the minimum required of one week. The application was publicly advertised in The Press on Friday 1 March 2024 with objections closing Friday 8 March 2024.
3.3 There was one objection received by Council, as a result of the public notifications process.
3.3.1 An objection was received from Tanya Townsend who operates a stall at the Christchurch Arts Centre market. Tanya was concerned that there would be no access to her workplace and that no customers would be able to access the market either during the proposed road closures.
3.3.2 Tanya also commented that she believed the marathon could be run within Hagley Park to ensure that the over 50 business involved in the Art Centre market and wider Arts Centre were not impacted.
3.4 Staff have been in contact with Tanya and provided feedback that there would in fact be access to the Arts Centre via Hereford Street and Montreal Street with an egress Northbound towards Salisbury Street on Montreal Street. The ability to provide access has been clarified within the proposed temporary road closures recommendation from staff in this report. The updated recommendations have removed additional roads from the proposed road closures to provide clarity that there will be additional parking opportunities and greater access to the Arts Centre along with the Christchurch Art Gallery and carpark.
3.5 Staff are unable to comment on why the event organisers have chosen the Marathon route as that is best answered by the applicants.
3.6 Road closures for this event have previously been approved by the Road Closure Subcommittee at this location, with no unexpected impacts regarding traffic movements, reported in the area.
3.7 Staff support the proposed temporary road closures and believe that it will not unreasonably impact traffic.
