Introduction Te Whakatkinga

3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by the developer. A preferred name and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.

3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.

3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy except as outlined below. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.

3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.

3.3.2 A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).

3.3.3 The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area.

3.3.4 A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.

3.3.5 Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.

3.3.6 A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.

3.3.7 The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage.

3.3.8 A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance.

3.4 The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 is set out below.

3.4.1 Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality.

3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.

3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.

3.4.4 Names of living persons.

3.4.6 Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.

3.4.7 Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.

3.5 The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard unless otherwise stated below.

3.6 Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.

3.7 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed road names.

3.8 Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because none of the roads to be named are collector roads and/or sites of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).

3.9 No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).

3.10 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below, along with correspondence with the applicant.

10. Proposed Linwood Park Changerooms
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/278794
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Richard Gibbs, Senior Project Manager, Parks
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Board to firstly approve the proposal to remove five (5) trees from Linwood Park at the proposed site for the Linwood Change Rooms.
Secondly for the Board to approve the construction of the proposed Linwood Change Rooms.

1.2 This report has been written in response to the Council briefing in September 2023 to develop a design for the proposed Linwood Change Rooms as part of the Linwood Park upgrade.

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 fact that this is a renewal project of a local park’s existing sub-standard changing facility.

1.4 The recommended option is to progress with the renewal and construction of the Linwood Changing Rooms at Linwood Park and approve the removal of the trees in the recommended location.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Approve proceeding to detailed design and eventual construction of the Linwood Change Rooms at Linwood Park in Attachment A to the agenda report.

2. Approve the removal of the five trees at the proposed location of the change rooms at Linwood Park as per Attachment B and Attachment C to the agenda report.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 The recommendations in this report have been proposed in response to the feedback from the Community Board briefing in June 2023 (Attachment D) to move forward with developed design of the changing rooms in the recommended location as supported by the Community Board, the Linwood Keas and the Council’s Recreation, Sports and Events Unit.

3.2 Five (5) trees have been identified in the location that has been identified for the changing rooms and will require removal. Leaving the trees would result in not being able to move forward with the construction of the changing rooms in the recommended location.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Do not build the changing rooms.

4.1.1 The advantage of this option is there is no additional cost to Council.

4.1.2 The disadvantage of this option is that there will be no suitable changing room facilities for the Linwood Keas rugby league club and other teams that utilise the site regularly.

4.2 Build changing rooms at an alternative location.

4.2.1 The advantage of this option is that the five (5) trees will not need to be removed.

4.2.2 The disadvantage of this option is that a new location would need to be identified resulting in further costs to the project.

4.3 Not approve the removal of the five (5) trees on the proposed club rooms site.

4.3.1 The advantage of this option is that the five (5) trees will not be removed.

4.3.2 The disadvantage of this option is that the proposed location of the change rooms is the most fit for purpose. An alternative location would need to be sought and this would incur further costs to the overall project.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Linwood Park is a sports park used for club-based sport and community recreation. The No.1 sports field was re-surfaced in 2021 with a new drainage and irrigation system as part of an ongoing renewal programme. In 2023 the Linwood Village area was returned to a new community field following the removal of temporary housing so the Park has now been returned to its full complement of sports fields. The changing room facilities are currently provided by two existing buildings on site, one of which is known as ‘The Nest’ and which is flagged to be demolished in future years.

5.2 The development of new changing rooms supports ongoing use of Linwood Park by club-based sports groups and is part of the planned renewals for the site.

5.3 The scope of the project is to develop a 198 m² double changing room facility with two public toilets and four internal lockable storage rooms. The addition of four storage rooms, two for each changing room, will allow the facility to be utilised in a similar function as a four changing room facility.

5.4 The Linwood Keas rugby league club has supported the development of the new changing rooms as the existing ‘Nest’ facilities are no longer fit for purpose. The club has been actively involved in the location and layout of the new facilities.

5.5 The Council’s Recreation, Sports and Events Unit has also been actively involved in determining the proposed location of the new changing facilities so as to avoid any clash or interference with the community users of the Te Pou Toetoe Linwood Pools.

5.6 Following approval to move to detailed design, the project will work with the Council’s Communication and Marketing Unit to provide engagement and consultation advice to the wider community regarding the proposed work to be carried out.

5.7

Tree Information – Tree surveys were undertaken by Purearb Ltd, a CCC approved technician arborist. The below information has been sourced from the surveys.

Existing trees will be affected by the changing room construction.

6.1 Council’s strategic priorities have been considered in formulating the recommendations in this report, including residents have access to facilities that support safe and healthy communities that enable good community public health.

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

6.3 Parks, heritage and coastal environment

6.3.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.1.6 Overall Regional Sports Organisation satisfaction with the standard of the city's Council provided sports surfaces - Satisfaction >=75%

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

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

6.5 The tree removals align with section 4.7 of Councils Tree Policy “Approval by Council for the removal of trees to facilitate projects on Council land will take into account the value of the project to the Community, including public health and/or the local environment and considerations taken for retaining existing trees compared with the loss of the benefits provided by the trees”.

6.6 Tree replacement planting aligns with Section 1.9 of Councils Tree Policy. As stated in the tree policy:

6.6.1 For every tree removed a minimum of two new trees will be planted with the new project canopy cover replacing that which is lost within 20 years (additional planting mya be required).

6.6.2 All trees will have a minimum establishment maintenance period of 24 months.

6.6.3 For removals outside of the road corridor, the location of the replacement trees will be based on the following:

· In the same reserve (property) where the tree was removed; or

· If no further planning in reserve (property) is required, then in the new closest road corridor or reserve that requires either new or additional planting; or

· Within the urban forest.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.7 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.

11. Leasing of 'red zoned' former driveways on Rocking Horse Road to adjacent neighbours
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/416447
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Dave Little, Residential Red Zone Manager Angus Smith, Manager Property Consultancy
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 This report's purpose is to seek approval to enter into long-term lease arrangements with immediate neighbours who border the numerous former driveways leading into the ‘residential red zone’ land on Rocking Horse Road.

1.2 The report has been initiated by staff to progress the landscape outcomes consulted for the Southshore ‘red zone’ area by way of the Estuary Edge Protection project.

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 low level of impacts on the surrounding community, heightened somewhat by the interest generally in Southshore Red Zone land.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Approve the leasing of the redundant driveways on the western side of Rocking Horse Road from Godwit Street to Mermaid Place as shown on the attached Southshore and South New Brighton Estuary Edge Flood Mitigation landscape plans to the agenda report.

2. The principal terms and conditions of the leases to be generally as follows:

i. The term is fixed at 35 years less one day.

ii. The rent is peppercorn i.e. one dollar.

iii. The lessees will be responsible for all works e.g. fencing, maintenance etc.

iv. Rights to this land will not be permitted to be included in any redevelopment or intensification applications or proposals.

v. Only adjoining owners will be permitted a lease for inclusion in their property i.e. non adjoining owners will not be leased land for off street parking.

vi. There shall be no right of assignment or subletting other than in conjunction with the sale of the “parent” property.

vii. Buildings will not be permitted on the leased property.

3. Delegate authority to the Manager Property Consultancy to do all things and make any decisions necessary at his sole discretion to implement the above resolution.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Council currently own (or part own) some 28 driveway accesses leading to the estuary edge ‘red zone’ land at Southshore, in addition to seven road ends leading into the space. Some of these access points span multiple titles.

3.2 This is not desirable from a Parks perspective, as each driveway comes with management costs, and some users feel unsafe due to their narrow widths and the hiding spots at each end. This reduces their actual usage.

3.3 Staff have considered these pieces of land against the assessment criteria adopted by the Council on 10 December 2021, used to establish whether a property is no longer required:

3.3.1 Is the full property still required for the purpose for which it was originally acquired?

3.3.2 Does the property have special cultural, heritage or environmental values that can only be protected through public ownership?

3.3.3 Is there an immediately identified alternative public use/work/activity in a policy, plan or strategy?

3.3.4 Are there any strategic, non-service delivery needs that the property meets and that can only be met through public ownership?

3.3.5 Are there any identified unmet needs, that we might normally address, that the property could be used to solve? And is there a reasonable pathway to funding the unmet need?

3.4 Retention against this criteria cannot be supported.

3.5 Disposal by way of transfer (i.e. sale and purchase) does not appear practical or feasible, as resurvey would be required for each and the cost would be disproportionate. It is also considered that the Council selling land in an area under Coastal Hazard Adaption Planning (CHAP) considerations is not sensible.

3.6 Under the circumstances, staff consider that the best divestment mechanism is to enter into long-term lease arrangements with the adjacent neighbours of these parcels, removing them from public management and use.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Continue the status quo, leaving all driveways open in their current configuration.

Advantages:

· Multiple public accesses remain.

Disadvantages:

· Ongoing OPEX costs of maintaining the accesses, clearing graffiti/rubbish and responding to customer tickets. Ongoing cost sharing expenses related to fencing, driveway surfacing and the like.

· Continuing dissatisfaction from residents as to the appearance of these spaces.

· There are potential health and safety issues with too many access points onto the road, areas of seclusion, stretched resources for appropriate development and maintenance.

4.2 Sell the driveways in question to the neighbours.

Advantages:

· No ongoing ownership of the land, optimal permanent model.

Disadvantages:

· The value of the land means that survey and legal costs could outweigh any revenue and be cost prohibitive for either the council or the adjoining owners.

· Permanently divesting land by way of sale in an area that is under consideration with respect of Coastal Hazard Adaptation Planning (CHAP).

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Potential divestment of these driveways to neighbours was publicly consulted as part of the Southshore/South New Brighton Estuary Edge project, generally seen as a sensible solution (refer Section 6). This approach was also canvassed with the Southshore Residents’ Association and the Community Board during project updates, and was not opposed.

5.2 As a result, consideration was given to including them in the draft Long Term Plan for consultation under the section “Potential Disposal of Council-owned Properties”. This was not progressed however, for the following reasons:

5.2.1 The value commensurate to the cost (survey/legal fees) would be disproportionate.

5.2.2 Permanently disposing of land likely to be subject to future CHAP considerations is not sensible.

5.3 To mitigate these concerns, staff consider that long-term leases present the optimal solution.

5.4 Under this approach, the owners to either side of each driveway would be contacted to see if they have an interest. If one has an interest, they could take the entire driveway on as a lease and extend their fence. If both had an interest, each could have half and a fence down the middle would need to be constructed by the parties.

5.5 The relevant Estuary Edge Mitigation Landscape Plans are included as Attachment A, showing the driveways in yellow/red hatch. A table listing the properties is also included below.

Table 1: List of proposed driveways for leasing.

5.6 Any lease would extend to the point where the ‘park land’ widens to the estuary, as shown in Attachment A and the example below.

Figure 1: Typical former driveway area recommended for long term lease (purple hatch).

5.7 Proposed lease terms and conditions. In the context that a lease proposal benefits the Council, and under the circumstance that this is the most optimal form of divestment (albeit not creating a perfect ownership model), the following terms and conditions are proposed:

5.7.1 The term is fixed at 35 years less one day. This is set to avoid triggering subdivision requirements under clause 218 of the Resource Management Act (1991).

5.7.2 The rent is peppercorn i.e. one dollar.

5.7.3 The lessees will be responsible for all works e.g. fencing, maintenance etc.

5.7.4 Rights to this land will not be permitted to be included in any redevelopment or intensification applications or proposals.

5.7.5 Only adjoining owners will be permitted a lease for inclusion in their property i.e. non adjoining owners will not be leased land for off street parking.

5.7.6 There shall be no right of assignment or subletting other than in conjunction with the sale of the “parent” property.

5.7.7 Buildings will not be permitted on the leased property.

6. Community Views and Preferences Ngā mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.1 The draft landscape plans (with the potential driveway closures shown) were tabled during the Estuary Edge project consultation period which ran from 13-27 June 2023, supported by a drop in day at The Bridge on 17 June 2023. A specific question around the idea of closing off some of the driveways was included in the consultation questions, and responses to this are shown in the table below.

Individual / Group	Have we got the balance right (related to potential driveway disposals)
Individual	Yes, but I would like to know if (unrelated)
Individual	Please consider keeping two.
Individual	I think one accessway per block is reasonable. What happens to the ones that are earmarked to be 'sold off', what happens to them - offered via auction, that has to be thought through, really it needs to be logically done by people who live around... if its a RoW then that creates easement issues? If no one wants them, what then?
Individual	Request to incorporate low flammability planting & Firefighting access.
Group (SSRA)	SSRA agree with the offering of the option to purchase by adjacent residents. Ensuring enough access points for recreation is important to our community. Can the funds from the sale of the old driveway be reinvested back into the project? Can you please provide the SSRA with an update on how the sales are progressing. What will happen to driveways that adjacent residents don't want to purchase?
Individual	I'm happy with one midpoint access
Individual	I support removing most of the entrances from old driveways.
Individual	Agree
Group (Spokes)	Spokes supports…obvious access ways with good signage onto Godwit, Heron, Penguin and Tern Streets
Individual	Makes sense
Individual	It appears to be so, from my living on the spit for 40 years, but please be guided by locals living right next to the entranceways.
Individual	Yes makes sense to sell these off.
Individual	Yes I think so.
Individual	Yes definitely. Allows for enhancement of estuary edge, some long term protection, as well as providing for walkers, runners and cyclists. Hopefully this will also provide a safer environment for the threatened birdlife of the estuary.
Individual	Yes. Balance looks good. Good mix of flood protection, walkway/cycleway and new plantings.
Individual	The balance looks good but I hope it isn't too ambitious re cost to plant and maintain. Better to concentrate new property boundary planting into smaller manageable areas and leave any that look good. It is naive to expect locals to maintain public gardens. Some of us do a lot of it but we are in the minority.
Individual	Would prefer more entrances. Sometimes there is an urgent need to get to the street - eg in case of emergency. Not all of us can run.
Individual	Perhaps consider two accessways between blocks.
Individual	Yes. Great to see we are finally getting flood protection
Individual	From my perspective, a more cost- effective way is to just do the costal erosion/flooding mitigation bund/swales/rain guards upgrades with the estuary edge accesses & leave everything else alone. There is no need for the proposed extra 3m wide path from Bridge Street to Ebbtide/Caspian Streets as there are already paths there that people walk & cycle along. There is no need for the 3m wide path from Ebbtide/Caspian Streets to Stilt Lane/Pukeko Place as people can already walk okay on the current ground & cycle or walk along Rocking Horse Road. (I find there isn't much traffic in South Brighton & along Rocking Horse Road in Southshore, so it's safe to cycle there.)
Individual	Yes the amount of entrances are ok
Individual	Great idea. The one beside us (66 Rocking Horse Road) is an eyesore, and I have been maintaining it for years. We have emailed our interest in purchasing it for the past few years. Great to see we may finally have the opportunity to purchase it!! It is a real waste of space having them just sitting there, although I understand the process!!
Individual	I would think this to be okay
Individual	Between 34 and 40 Rockinghorse Rd there are 3 access/entrances to the red zone. One is the diversion track, one is access to the Pumping station and one is obsolete. Is the lane by 36 ( to the pump) remaining open or will it be put up for sale?
Individual	Yes
Individual	Yes. Even just the side streets are fine? keeping crime lower.
Individual	Yes
Individual	Yes
Individual	Get on with it.
Individual	Yes that looks like the right balance
Individual	We like the general ideas in the overall plan. Rising sea levels are our concern therefore protecting the estuary edge is our priority.
Individual	Looks good
Individual	Yes
Individual	Yes
Individual	Yes
Individual	Āe
Individual	Maybe more than one
Individual	Yes
Individual	Absolutely
Individual	Where a house have an empty "driveway' both sides and have had to deal with them for so long, would be nice if they had both closed off. Other than for access to Mowing or for Pumps etc seems to block/close of all would be desirable. More like when we had homes that they went to, we didn't walk up peoples driveways then.

7. Policy Framework Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā- Kaupapa here

Strategic Alignment Te Rautaki Tīaroaro

7.1 Manage ratepayers' money wisely

· Manage ratepayers' money wisely, delivering quality core services to the whole community and addressing the issues that are important to our residents.

Policy Consistency Te Whai Kaupapa here

7.2 The decision is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies:

7.2.1 The Council’s “Leasing Council Property Policy” adopted in December 2015 provides that: “Where the Council recognises there is only one logical lessee for a public property, the Council will unilaterally deal with that lessee” This is clearly the case in this instance.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

7.4 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

7.5 The landscape plans were developed in a partnership with the Ihutai Ahuwhenua Trust, who were mandated to provide mana whenua input on the project by Mahaanui Kurataiao. They did not have any concerns regarding this matter.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.1 The decisions in this report are likely to:

7.1.1 Remain flexible with respect to climate change adaptation, by retaining the land in public ownership.

7.1.2 Have a neutral influence on carbon sequestration. Lessees may choose to replace the current gravel and grass with planting, but we cannot influence that.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

7.2 While closure of these accesses will somewhat reduce current access into the ‘park’ space, the landscape plans have retained a total of five mid-block access points, meaning that the maximum distance from anywhere on Rocking Horse Road to an entry point is around 150m. Access is provided at seven road end locations, as well as the carpark at the southern end of Estuary Road.

7.3 The combined extent of the remaining entries and road end points is well in excess of typical park access provisions.

8. Resource Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

8.1 As these would be leases rather than divestment, there are no CAPEX costs to this proposal.

8.2 There will be a saving to maintenance/renewal costs, as Council will be maintaining fewer access points, and there will be a reduced need to contribute jointly to fences, driveway surfacing and the like. There should also be a reduction in flytipping cleanup costs.

8.3 No funding source is required.

9. Legal Implications Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

9.1 The Council is required to evaluate several statutory considerations:

9.1.1 Local Government Act Considerations

· Section 138 Local Government Act 2002

Section 138 provides that “park” owned by the Council cannot be sold or otherwise disposed of unless the Council has first consulted on the proposed disposal. This includes leases in excess of six months. The land that is the subject of this report would be considered to be “park” under this statute.

· Section 78 - 82 Local Government Act 2002

These sections set out the council’s requirements in terms of decision making in summary that:

o All reasonably practicable options for the achievement of the objective of a decision.

o Consideration is given to the views and preferences of persons likely to be affected by, or to have an interest in, the matter.

o Judgements are required about how to achieve compliance with these issues. Those judgements in determining degree and scope are largely in proportion to the significance of the matters affected by the decision.

o Decisions inconsistent with council policy are identified and rationalised.

o Opportunities are provided for Māori to contribute to the decision-making processes.

o That any consultation is fit for purpose and at the Council’s discretion appropriate in any particular instance.

It is considered that the Estuary Edge consultation undertaken in June 2023 set out the principles proposed in this report (i.e. disposal of the driveways, albeit by sale rather than lease), and that this satisfies the above statutory requirements having provided reasonable opportunity to comment on the future use of the driveways and solicited general support with no opposition.

9.1.2 Section 40 Public Works Act 1981

Section 40 requires that where land is held by the Council for a public work and it is no longer required for that public work, or any other public work, then, subject to certain exceptions, the land must be “offered back” at market value to the person from whom it was acquired, or their successor. This is not applicable in this instance with the land being transferred to the council by the Crown under the Global Settlement Agreement.

9.2 The Council has delegated to Community Boards the responsibility and powers “To grant leases or licences for a maximum term of 35 years to any person or body over parks, and to authorise staff to sign all required documentation.”

Other Legal Implications Ētahi atu Hīraunga-ā-Ture

9.3 This report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit although legal advice will be provided in the preparation of the lease documents which will reflect the terms and conditions set out in this report.

10. Risk Management Implications Ngā Hīraunga Tūraru

10.1 This initiative seeks to mitigate health and safety risks by reducing multiple access points onto the street.

11. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

11.1 Adjoining owners will be contacted and provided the opportunity to enter into leases.

5.1.7 The rebuild of Wyon Street from Buckleys Road to Worcester Street, and the rebuild of the whole length of Hulbert Street (now called the Wyon Street and Hulbert Street renewal project).

5.1.8 The rebuild of Chelsea Street from Russell Street to Pamela Street, and repair of Chelsea Street from Linwood Avenue to Russell Street (now called the Chelsea Street renewal project).

5.1.9 The restoration of Butterfield Avenue from Buckleys Road to Hay Street

5.1.10 The restoration of Worcester Street from Linwood Avenue to McLean Street

5.2 Since the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme was approved, there has been a significant increase in construction costs, and the ten approved projects are not able to be delivered for the $6.5 million Linwood and Woolston CRAF budget.

Climate Emergency Response Fund (CERF)

5.3 Early in 2023, four projects from the programme were identified to be delivered by the Climate Emergency Response Fund (CERF), these projects were:

5.3.1 The Rhona Street pedestrian improvements project

5.3.2 The Smith Street cycle and pedestrian improvements project

5.3.3 The Linwood and Woolston area-wide speed restriction project

5.3.4 The Te Aratai College pedestrian and cycle access project

5.4 The four projects were schemed, consulted on, and approved for detailed design and construction under Council’s CERF approvals in September 2023.

5.5 In December 2023 the Minister of Transport advised Council the CERF funding was no longer available for the four projects.

Current state

5.6 Linwood and Woolston area-wide speed restriction

5.6.1 The delivery of the Linwood and Woolston area-wide speed restriction can now be funded from the Safe Speed Neighbourhoods programme, therefore it does not need to be returned for consideration in the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme – this project is currently being constructed.

5.7 Rhona and Smith Street projects and Te Aratai College

5.7.1 The Finance and Performance Committee approved the following at their 28 February 2024 meeting:

· The Rhona Street pedestrian improvements and Smith Street cycle and pedestrian improvements projects were to be considered by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board for delivery in the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme.

· The Te Aratai College pedestrian and cycle access project is proposed to be funded independently in a future Long Term Plan, therefore it can be removed for consideration in the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme.

5.8 Linwood Ave Slip Lane

5.8.1 The Linwood Avenue School slip lane upgrade project was consulted on and approved to be delivered in the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme, by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Board on 11 September 2023.

5.8.2 At the 29 February 2024 public briefing, the Board advised the Linwood Avenue Slip Lane project would remain in the CRAF programme, as this has always been a CRAF project, and was approved by the Board to be included in the CRAF programme.

5.8.3 There is the expectation from the Linwood Avenue School that it will be constructed in the April 2024 school holidays. The contractor has programmed the work to take place in April and is awaiting tender acceptance, and delaying this process is likely to incur additional cost.

5.8.4 Based upon this advice provided by the Board, staff intend to award the contract and proceed with construction starting on 15 April, as a project funded from the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme. The Board were advised of this by memo on Friday 15 March 2024.

5.9 Worcester Street and Tilford Street

5.9.1 The Worcester Street restoration and Tilford Street footpath improvements projects are near being ready for delivery. These projects do not require public consultation or Community Board approval and could be delivered in the coming months.

5.10 Chelsea Street and Butterfield Avenue

5.10.1 Limited work has been completed on the Chelsea Street renewal and Butterfield Avenue restoration projects, as staff have been waiting for a decision from the Board on whether to continue with these projects.

5.10.2 Based on advice from the Board at the 29 February 2024 public briefing, the schemes for the Chelsea Street and Butterfield projects are to be brought back to the Board once the cost estimates are known, for a decision on which project can be delivered within the Linwood and Woolston CRAF budget.

5.11 Wyon and Hulbert street renewal

5.11.1 The scheme options for the Wyon Street and Hulbert Street renewal project have been completed, and the $6.5 million cost estimate for the street renewal is significantly over the project budget. The factors contributing to the estimate include the presence of coal tar, protecting the existing culvert and significant drainage requirements. Multiple options have been considered but none are able to be delivered within the project budget.

5.11.2 Public consultation on Wyon and Hulbert Streets has not taken place.

Public briefing and decision required

5.12 The above information was presented to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board at the 29 February 2024 public briefing. The prioritisation of the ten projects was discussed in relation to not being able to deliver all projects for the $6.5 million Linwood and Woolston CRAF budget.

5.13 The Board gave the direction to bring back a decision report which includes the following:

Approves the following Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) projects to remain in the Linwood and Woolston CRAF programme:

8. The Wyon Street and Hulbert Street renewal project. The work completed so far will be stored to be used if the project is delivered from another funding source in the future. Wyon and Hulbert Streets have now been considered for inclusion in the FY25-26 maintenance resealing programme.

9. The Linwood and Woolston area-wide speed restriction project, as this project is now being funded from the Safe Speed Neighbourhoods programme.

10. The Te Aratai College pedestrian and cycle access project, as this project is proposed to be funded independently in a future Long Term Plan.

13. Bus stop upgrades on Bluestone Drive
Reference / Te Tohutoro:	24/292125
Report of / Te Pou Matua:	Mansour Johari, Passenger Transport Engineer (Mansour.johari@ccc.govt.nz)
Senior Manager / Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning and Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To approve upgrades proposed for bus stops (ID - 45420) opposite 78 Bluestone Drive.

1.2 This report is staff generated in response to a request from community to the Community Board for a seat.

1.3 Staff investigations have revealed that the current bus stop requires additional improvements, such as line markings, a hardstand area, an accessible kerb, and tactile pavers.

1.4 On average, 31 passengers, mainly elderly individuals, use this bus stop daily.

1.5 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 criteria set out in the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

1. Pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017:

a. That parking be restricted at all times on the east side of Bluestone Drive commencing at a point 31 metres south of its intersection with Lakebridge Place and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 10 metres.

b. That a bus stop be installed on east side of Bluestone Drive commencing at a point 41 metres south of its intersection with Lakebridge Place and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 14 metres.

c. That parking be restricted at all times on the east side of Bluestone Drive commencing at a point 55 metres south of its intersection with Lakebridge Place and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of 8 metres.

2. Pursuant to Section 339(1) of the Local Government Act 1974:

a. That a bus passenger shelter be installed on the east side of Bluestone Drive commencing at a point 46 metres south of its intersection with Lakebridge Place and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of approximately 3.6 metres.

3. That any previous resolutions pertaining to parking and stopping restrictions made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they conflict with the parking and stopping restrictions described in clauses 1 – 2 above are revoked.

4. That these recommendations if approved, take effect when the parking and stopping restrictions that evidence the restrictions described in clauses 1 – 2 above are in place.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

3.1 Bus stop 45420 serves bus route 135 (one-hour frequency), with an average of 31 passengers using it daily including elderly individuals from the rest home situated across Prestons Road.

3.2 The current bus stop does not include standard line marking, hardstand area, tactile pavers, and waiting area facilities. Also, there is vehicle crossing where the bus front door opens.

3.3 This highlights several concerns including the visibility and accessibility of the bus stop, potential issues with on-street parking at the stop, and the long waiting time due to the low bus frequency while no weather protection or seating is provided.

3.4 The last issue is of particular importance at this bus stop, as the long waiting time is tiring for elderly people, as highlighted in the community request raised to the Community Board.

3.5 To address above concerns, staff recommend upgrading this bus stop by adding standard line marking and a shelter as detailed in Section 2 and shown in Attachment A.

3.6 Other bus stop facilities like hardstand area, accessible kerb, and tactile pavers are considered in the proposed upgrades as well, as shown in Attachment A.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Enhancing this bus stop has been prioritised with a focus on providing convenient access for bus passenger in all ranges of abilities and ages.

5.2 This priority is underscored by the fact that the bus stop is well used by elderly people living in the Alpine View rest home in the vicinity of the bus stop and the low frequency of bus service which increases the waiting time at the bus stop.

5.3 Environment Canterbury supports the proposed plan.

5.4 Since the bus stop is located next to parkland, and the proposed shelter mostly falls within the park area, the Parks, Recreation, and Planning Team were notified and consulted regarding the plan.

5.5 The proposed plan has received approval and support from the Parks Recreation and Planning Team.

5.6 No residents will be affected by these changes and therefore, no consultation has been conducted.

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

Measures that promote the use of public transport make it a more attractive travel option, thereby supporting mode shift and associated benefits to the environment.

Accessibility Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Hunga Hauā

14. Bray Street - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/379789
Report of Te Pou Matua:	Courtney Fale, Traffic Engineer
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitiai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to consider the approval of No Stopping Restrictions.

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

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Approve that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Bray Street commencing at its intersection with Smith Street and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 44 metres.

2. Revoke 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 this report.

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 the level of on-street parking resulting in limited street accessibility. Implementing the recommended changes will improve access and lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by increasing road width for manoeuvrability, particularly for emergency vehicles.

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

3.3 Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is the minimum length needed to provide drivers sufficient road width to access the street safely.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

4.1 Do nothing

The advantages of this option include:

4.1.1 Retaining 5 on-street parking spaces.

4.1.2 No cost to Council

The disadvantages of the option include:

4.1.3 Does not address safety concerns relating to through access of vehicles, including emergency vehicle access, when vehicles are parked in this location.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Bray Street is approximately 6 metres wide. When vehicles are parked both sides it is a very narrow space for cars to move through. One resident has advised there has been at least one instance where they were not able to access the street and their property when a car and truck were parked on opposing sides near the entrance.

5.2 There is housing development planned for both corners at the entrance of Bray Street therefore demand for parking is expected to increase.

5.3 There have been no crashes recorded on Bray Street within the last five years. Although staff have not received any feedback from Emergency Services or Waste Management teams regarding accessibility concerns for this street, staff acknowledge that parking on both sides could cause significant inconveniences and/or fully restrict larger vehicles or cars towing trailers.

5.4 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

5.5 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

Consultation letters were sent out to 15 properties on Bray Street.

Staff received two responses, both in favour of installing no stopping restrictions on Bray Street.

At the time of consultation, ownership of the newly built units had not been handed over to Kainga Ora therefore this report does not necessarily reflect their preferences.

Staff have since contacted Kainga Ora via email with the proposed plan and have requested that they provide feedback prior to the date of presentation of this report at the Community Board meeting.

5.6 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

5.7 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve accessibility of Bray Street.

4. 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 regarding decreased visibility and restricted emergency access to the beach and/or forest caused by on street parking close to the bend. Implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the bend while also protecting access for emergency vehicles to the beach and/or forest.

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

Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Do nothing

3.3 The advantages of this option include:

3.3.1 Retaining 8 on-street parking spaces.

3.3.2 No cost to Council

3.4 The disadvantages of the option include:

3.4.1 Does not address safety concerns relating to visibility and through access of vehicles at the bend.

3.4.2 Does not address safety concerns relating to parked vehicles blocking the emergency access gate to the beach and/or forest.

4. Detail Te Whakamahuki

4.1 There are high parking demands in the area at times due to the proximity of Waimari Beach and Bottle Lake Forest.

4.2 A search of the Waka Kotahi Crash Analysis System has identified there have been no crashes in this location within the last five years. Staff have not approached Emergency Services for feedback however previous requests from FENZ relating to parked vehicles blocking the emergency access gate have been noted.

4.3 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

4.4 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

4.5 Residents in the area encompassing Aston Drive initially discussed their concerns in an online forum (Attachment B) which led to a single resident approaching Council on behalf of the group. The initial request to Council was for no stopping lines along the entire length of the northern side of Aston Drive that borders the forest. The customer has been advised that in most cases, Council do not install no stopping restrictions on streets unless they are less than 7 metres wide. Aston Drive is 7.7metres wide and standard for streets around the city. The length of requested no stopping restrictions would not be appropriate in this location for the following reasons:

· Installing no stopping restrictions on the outside of the bend alone would not improve sightlines when cars are parked on the southern side at the corner.

· On street parking encourages people to travel at a lower speed as when cars are parked both sides, drivers are required to focus more intently to navigate the space.

· When cars are traveling in both directions and one is required to yield, there are numerous driveway spaces for vehicles to pull into which allows passing.

Through the supporting document provided, it is evident that there is significant community support for the installation of no parking restrictions in this location with the original focus being concern for safety at the bend. The recommended option addresses the original concern raised.

4.6 Consultation letters were sent out to three properties adjacent to where staff are proposing to mark the no stopping restrictions.

We received two responses to these letters, both in favour of the proposed no stopping restrictions.

4.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

4.8 The do nothing option is inconsistent with community requests to improve visibility at the bend and emergency beach access.

Report of Te Pou Matua:	Courtney Fale, Traffic Engineer
Senior Leader Pouwhakarae:	Jane Parfitt, Interim General Manager Infrastructure, Planning & Regulatory Services, (Jane.Parfitt@ccc.govt.nz)

1. Purpose of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitiai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to consider the approval of No Stopping Restrictions.

1.3 This report has been written in response to a request from a Council contractor who has been unable to access the street in their large vehicle (on multiple occasions) when cars have been parked on both sides.

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

2. Staff Recommendations / Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Approves, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that:

a. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northeast side of Edmonds Street commencing at its intersection with Randolph Street and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 38 metres.

b. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northeast side of Edmonds Street commencing at a point 79 metres southeast of its intersection with Randolph Street and following the road alignment generally in a southeasterly direction for a distance of 35 metres.

c. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southeast side of Edmonds Street commencing at a point 38 metres southeast of its intersection with Randolph Street and extending in a southeasterly direction for a distance of 37 metres.

d. The stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southeast side of Edmonds Street commencing at its intersection with Randolph Street and extending in a southeasterly direction for a distance of 9 metres.

2. Revoke 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 this report.

3. Reason for Report Recommendations Ngā Take mō te Whakatau

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

3.2 Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is the minimum length needed to provide access to the entire length of the street for vehicles of all sizes, including emergency vehicles.

4. Alternative Options Considered Ētahi atu Kōwhiringa

Do nothing

The advantages of this option include:

4.1.1 Retaining eight on-street parking spaces.

4.1.2 No cost to Council

The disadvantages of the option include:

4.1.3 Does not address safety concerns relating to through access of oversized vehicles including emergency vehicle access.

4.1.4 Does not address the disruption to bin collection and related inconvenience for residents and Council contractors.

5. Detail Te Whakamahuki

5.1 Edmonds Street is approximately 6.9 metres wide which is considered narrower than standard for streets around the city.

5.2 Parking demands in the area have increased due to housing intensification.

5.3 A search of the New Zealand Land Transport Agency Crash Analysis System identified no crashes on this street within the last five years.

5.4 Approval is required by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

Community Views and Preferences

5.6 Consultation letters were sent to all (26) properties at the eastern end of Edmonds Street.

Staff received eight mixed responses to the proposed plan:

· Three residents responded in favour of the plans.

· A further generally agreeable response was received however, the resident suggested that alternatively, a designated area to place bins on collection day could be considered to allow retention of parking spaces. This suggestion was discussed with the Waste Management team and found to be inappropriate as (due to people moving into and out of properties regularly) not all residents would necessarily know of or adhere to the plan.

· Two negative responses were received mentioning concerns for reduced parking and suggested time restricted parking as an alternative option. Staff would not consider time restricted parking as it does not address accessibility of the street and associated safety risks when cars are parked both sides.

· A further negative response mentioned concerns for having to park further away at nighttime and associated potential safety concerns.

5.7 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

New Brighton Mall Developments	Whilst New Brighton is seeing a number of businesses continue to close and an increase in empty buildings, development is starting to happen for the New Brighton Mall area. Martini Investments owned by the Harris family have now purchased twelve New Brighton Mall properties and work has started on developing these. The properties include the premises that Whole Foods and XOXO Cafe were renting. They have both subsequently closed. Stitch-O-Mat were subleasing their space at 68 Hawke Street from Whole Foods but they have had to seek an alternative location as a knock-on effect. The recent purchases are part of a wider plan which also includes Greater New Brighton Community Leadership Group's Village Green Project, funded through a Canterbury Earthquake Appel Trust grant. The Village Green Project intends to use land lease from Martini Investments near the Pierside building. The group will be able to give an update on plans soon.		New Brighton Mall

· House of Hoopz – Aranui

The next in the series of House of Hoopz was held in Aranui on Saturday 2 March 2024. Delivered by Youth and Cultural Development, the 3-on-3 street ball series has been a huge success so far, with lots of teams from other areas coming to check out their competition across the city.

The Hoopz series is aimed at giving rangatahi who have never had a chance to join a team or play competitively a chance to compete in a tournament and test their skills against other players their age. The partners involved have reported back how much raw talent they've seen in the players showing up to each one who have never had any coaching or formal playing experience.

The next in the series is on Saturday 22 March 2024 at Te Waka Unua followed by the grand final at New Brighton on the Saturday 30 March 2024.

· Farewell to the Godwits

On Sunday 10 March the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust held their annual ceremony to farewell the Godwits as they head back to their breeding grounds in Alaska. The event had a massive turn-out and included free BBQ and drinks, information on the Ihutai and its bird species, music and then a short walk to view the Godwits taking off. The event was organised and delivered in partnership with Southshore Residents’ Association and Council Parks staff.

· Fresh Pool Party

Another successful FRESH Pool party was held at Te Pou Toetoe on Friday 1 March 2024 by the team at Youth and Cultural Development (YCD). This was the second pool party of the year and having now secured enough funding to deliver the whole series, these events will take place on the last Friday of every month all year.

The FRESH Pool parties are a part of YCD's commitment to revitalising the youth scene for Ōtautahi. They strongly advocated for regular events and have worked with Community Governance and Sport and Recreation staff at Council to ensure they can provide consistent high quality and a great experience every time for rangatahi.

The numbers of young people showing up each event and coming back time and time again is testament to their mahi and commitment to providing positive activities and engagement for rangatahi in the East.

· Elevate Youth Hui

The first Elevate Youth Hui of 2024 was held on Friday 15 March 2024 in New Brighton. Representatives from 8 organisations who work with Rangatahi.

· Brooklands Lagoon Restoration update

Regional Parks are into their third year of the restoration program that includes pest plant control around the margins of the lagoon for Willow, Silver Poplar, Wilding Pines, Pampas, Gorse and Broom. The Christchurch City Council ranger for Brooklands along with the Jobs for Nature team of five rangers have made significant progress getting on top of some significant infestations of invasive weeds that threaten this coastal environment.

The team are heading into their third planting season this winter and building on work started near Earlham Street, Beacon Street, Harbour Road and at the Southern end of the Lagoon near Heyders Road.

The team have also installed some areas of fencing along the Lagoon Track where bikes and horses were having an impact on some of the low-lying tidal edges of the Lagoon. They've seen some great results with natural recovery and in a short amount of time seen threatened plant species colonise those areas that have been fenced off.

New the wayfinding signage of the Lagoon track and also the Waimakariri (Brooklands Spit) track. Pulling out the old signs and defining the routes for pedestrians, cyclists and horses more clearly has been a big help with managing the use of the track.

New entranceway panel signs and an interpretation sign at the start of the track have also been installed which was more clearly defined just after at the turn off to Adrenaline Forest from Heyders Road with a new parking layby that was created. These improvements for better wayfinding signage was something that the community had requested as part of the Brooklands Community Led-Action plan.

· Dallington Drop-in

Our Residential Red Zone and Engagement teams struck a chord at a community drop-in on Saturday 9 March 2024 when they met with local residents to share information about the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor projects at a drop-in at the Dallington landing. Staff discussed the City to Sea Pathway route, new road crossings that are currently out for consultation, updated plans for Kerrs Reach, and plans for Avon Park. Across the session 40 to 50 people dropped in and had lots of interesting conversations with residents providing staff with valuable feedback, insights and questions.
