1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 To consider the application for a new ground lease by the Paparua Smallbore Rifle Club for part of Waterloo Reserve No 1.

1.2 The current lease has expired, and a new lease is required. A new lease is proposed on the basis that the club is a sound organisation with a track record and commitment to provide opportunities of a recreational nature.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Paparua Smallbore Club - Proposed new lease Report.

2. Grants a ground lease to Paparua Smallbore Rifle Club pursuant to section 138 of the Local Government Act 2002, for a lease period of thirty-three years including renewals for an area of approximately 1584 square metres of Waterloo Reserve No 1 being part of PT RS3303, CB394/29 as shown on the plan described as Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Paparua Smallbore Rifle Club was formed in around 1971 and built the existing shooting range at about that time. The club is a member of the Christchurch Target Shooting Association, and its members take part in regular competition on site and at other clubs. They also make the club available for community use to try the sport.

3.2 Although small, it remains a motivated and active club that requires security of tenure to plan ongoing activities with certainty.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

The Property

4.1 Waterloo Reserve No 1 is located at 132-140 Waterloo Road as shown in red below. It is held as Park pursuant to the Local Government Act 2002.

4.2 The Paparua Smallbore Rifle Club (the Club) is located at the south end of the park marked A below. The Park is shared with two other clubs: Rodbenders Inc marked B and the Morris Eight Tourer Club marked C.

Paparua Smallbore Rifle Club

4.3 The Club has leased the current site since around 1971 when the current 25-yard-long target shooting facility was built. The Club is one of six target shooting clubs in Christchurch who belong to the Christchurch Target Shooting Association.

Clubs hold weekly association competition nights on Thursday either on site or travelling to other clubs. On Mondays the Club holds a practice/training night for members where there is also an opportunity for casual users or interested people to try the sport. The club facility is made available to Hornby High School students on Wednesday afternoons and the facility is available to other groups for supervised casual use.

Despite membership and income being at the low end of viability with 23 financial members plus casuals, the Club members are motivated with regular use of the facility. The club has experienced recent growth and interest arising from the Hornby High School use and increased casual use.

4.4 Generally speaking, the Club meets the Council requirements as a suitable lessee:

· Incorporated society for recreation purpose

· Steady membership

· Historical use and investment on the site

· Financially stable

4.5 On the basis of the above staff recommmend a new lease with the following key lease terms:

· Ground lease, 1584sqm (approx) including building 353sqm (approx)

· Initial lease term 11 years with two rights of renewal

· Rent calculated in accordance with policy for ground lease to sports clubs and community groups. Rental under current rent rates $1004.34 plus GST

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.6 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

4.6.1 Enter into a new ground lease

4.6.2 Do not enter into a ground lease.

4.7 The following options were considered but ruled out:

· Do Nothing

Not feasible: The Club requires certainty to enable it to plan future use with confidence.

· Require removal and revert to open park space

Not feasible: will incur staff costs to negotiate facility removal by the club, then cost for re-instatement and on-going maintenance. There is no identified need for additional open space on the site.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8 Preferred Option: Enter into a new ground lease

4.8.1 Option Description: Enter into a new ground lease on standard terms.

4.8.2 Option Advantages

· Consistent with policy of dealing with sports clubs with investment on site

· Provides certainty for the Club

· Consistent with the public use of the park

4.8.3 Option Disadvantages

Some risk due to small membership and income

4.9 Do not enter into new lease

4.9.1 Option Description: Do not approve a new lease and seek alternative use for some other unidentified use

4.9.2 Option Advantages

· Possible more active use of site with another user

4.9.3 Option Disadvantages

· Will incur staff costs with no certainty of success

· The Club has invested on site and has a small group of motivated members. To not grant a lease would be inconsistent with Council policy.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.10 The options in terms of the lease were assessed considering lessee investment on site and the need for certainty for ongoing operation as against alternative use for the park.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

5.1 Cost to Implement- Preparation of lease and public advertising costs to be recovered from tenant

5.2 Maintenance/Ongoing costs- tenant responsibility

5.3 Funding Source- operational funds

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk of the lessee failing to continue operating, pay rent or maintain the premises. The risk is assessed as medium. There would be staff costs in seeking a new user and maintenance costs if not successful. The likelihood of these consequences occurring is considered low based existing steady club numbers level of activity in the club and track record.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:

6.2.1 Delegations Parks (Part D-sub Part 1- Community Boards) Authority delegated from Council to Community Boards.

6.2.2 Local Government Act 2002-Lease entered into pursuant to section 138.

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 Local Government Act 2002-Decision Making including consideration of community views

6.3.2 Local Government Act 1977, use consistent with park use, public notice pursuant to section 138

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and the low cost to Council associated with entering into the lease.

Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.4.3 Sports Leases Charging Policy

6.4.4 Leasing Council- dealing unilaterally with incumbent tenant where there is only one logical tenant including not-for-profit organisations particularly sports clubs on reserves.

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Communities & Citizens

6.6.1 Activity: Recreation, Sports, Community Arts and Events

· Level of Service: 7.0.3.1 Support citizen and partner organisations to develop, promote and deliver recreation and sport in Christchurch - 4,000 hours of staff support provided per annum

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Community engagement involved: direct contact with the neighbouring lessees on the park, public notice in the Christchurch Press on 19 March 2024 and notification in the public notices of the Council website. No responses were received.

6.8 Staff consider that the above is sufficient consideration of community views considering the significance of the decision proposed.

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

6.9.1 Waipuna Halswell Hornby Riccarton Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.11 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.

6.12 The proposal was forwarded to Mahaanui Kurataio for comment on 26 January 2024 and they have responded that there were no issues.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.13 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. The proposal to enter into a new lease for an existing use does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with leasing itself and there is no change to current emissions. In terms of the activities associated with the lease, the club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low. There are no development plans associated with the activities that involve significant use of resources.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Property staff to undertake final negotiation of lease terms and complete documentation.

Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1585444
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Elizabeth Hoskins, Property Consultant
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Lynn McClelland, General Manager Corporate Services

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to request the Community Board to exercise its delegation to approve an easement over land governed under Section 48(1) of the Reserves Act 1977.

1.2 The easement will be for Enable Networks Limited to provide fibre across the Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve to the Kidsfirst kindergarten located at the rear.

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 easement over the reserve will allow continued internet connectivity to the Lessee when copper is no longer available for use.

1.4 There will be minimal impact to park users and the location of the cable will be below ground.

1.5 The Community Board holds the delegation to grant easements over reserve land pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977, subject to consent from the Minister of Conservation (delegated to the Council Chief Executive).

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Grant an Easement for Fibre Installation, 8 Wycola Avenue, Hei Hei, Wycola Reserve Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Approves pursuant to Section 48(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 the installation of a fibre cable and subsequent granting of an easement in favour of Enable Networks Limited to convey utilities within the Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve located at 8 Wycola Avenue being Section 20 Hei Hei Settlement comprising 3,720 square metres, SO 15815.

4. Notes that approval pursuant to Approval to Section 48(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 is subject to the Minister of Conservation consent to the easement, delegated to the Council Chief Executive under the Instrument of delegation for Territorial Authorities dated 12 June 2013.

5. Delegates authority to the Manager Property Consultancy to conclude negotiations and sign the easement document.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Staff recommend the granting of the easement for services required to provide fibre across the recreation reserve to the Lessee, Kidsfirst. The blue arrow below shows the Kidsfirst building.

3.2 The proposed location of the fibre will be from the street and along the right-hand boundary fence line to the building behind. This is a coloured red line showing the route in the plan below. The use of copper will be redundant in the future hence the need for fibre.

3.3 Other options for internet connectivity to Kidsfirst were investigated by Kidsfirst and fibre was the preferred option to prove a reliable internet service for the business to operate efficiently.

3.4 This installation and easement will have minimal impact on the public and will not affect access to the reserve.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Wycola Reserve is a Recreation Reserve and No 8 Wycola Avenue is part of this reserve classified as Local Purpose (Community Buildings) Reserve being Sec 20 Hei Hei settlement comprising 3,720 m2, SO 15815.

4.2 Kidsfirst kindergartens are a ‘not for profit’ entity and have been in Wycloa Reserve since the 1980’s.

4.3 Kidsfirst lease the land being part of the reserve and own the building and other improvements. Their business requires reliable and robust internet activity to function, which to date has been provided by a copper installation and a wireless network.

4.4 Copper will be decommissioned, and a wireless network will not provide the acceptable level of connectivity for this business, hence the need for fibre to be installed to their building.

4.5 Access is from the street and through the Local Purpose reserve to the Kidsfirst building located behind two community buildings fronting Wycola Ave. The process under section 48(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 is required to allow this fibre installation by way of an easement.

4.6 There is an expectation that Lessees on the reserve which are community groups or ‘not for profit’ entities will have the ability to be provided with utilities that support the functionality of that entity.

4.7 The aerial image above shows the location of the Local Purpose Reserve and clearly shows the kindergarten building location.

4.8 The following related memos/information were circulated to the meeting members:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.10 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

· Granting an easement to allow a fibre connection to Kidsfirst as the only reasonable and practical option.

4.11 The following options were considered but ruled out:

· Do not grant an easement and request Kidsfirst use other options for internet connectivity. Other options would not provide sufficient capability for the efficient use as an internet connection or be as cost effective as the fibre option.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.12 Preferred Option: Grant an easement to allow fibre to be installed.

4.12.1 Option Advantages

· This will allow Kidsfirst a robust and reliable internet connection needed for their business to operate efficiently.

· Other options for internet connectivity were inferior or not practical in this location.

4.12.2 Option Disadvantages

· There are no disadvantages with this option.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.13 Installation of fibre to the building through the proposed route in the reserve was the most practical, reasonable and cost-effective option.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option
Cost to Implement	$2000 staff /legal costs

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There are no risks in granting this easement to Enable Networks Limited. The utility will be managed under a business-as-usual approach by the operators and any access to install or maintain will require notification to Council. Council will be indemnified for any intentional damage to the cable or conduit.

6.2 Should Council need the cable to be relocated in the future this will be at the cost of Enable Networks Limited.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.3 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:

6.3.1 Section 48(1) of the Reserves Act 1977 states that the administering body of a reserve may grant easements over any part of the reserve.

6.3.2 Section 48(2) of the Reserves Act 1977 stipulates the administering body of a reserve must give public notice to the proposal to grant an easement, however s48(3) of the act provides that subsection (2) will not apply in circumstances where the reserve is not likely to be materially amended or damaged and the rights of the public are not permanently affected. Section 48(3) applies in this case.

6.3.3 The Council in the Delegations register has given authority to grant easements on reserves to the Community Board subject to the Minister of Conservation approval (which is delegated to Council Chief Executive).

6.4 Other Legal Implications:

6.4.1 There are no other legal considerations with respect to this report.

6.4.2 Council’s legal team will be drafting the easement document.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5 The required decision:

6.5.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by completing the level of significance and engagement assessment. There will be no impact on park users or access to the park and the cable will be underground.

6.5.3 The decision to grant an easement for installation of fibre is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.6 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.7 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.7.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.0.1 All Community Parks are managed and maintained in a clean, tidy, safe, functional, and equitable manner (Maintenance) - 90% Maintenance Plan key performance indicators are achieved

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8 Under Section 48(3) of the Reserves Act a public notice and any subsequent submissions was not required where the reserve is not likely to be materially amended or damaged and the rights of the public are not permanently affected. There will be no restriction regarding access or use of the Reserve by the public.

6.9 The decision affects the following Community Board areas:

Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.11 The decision is not a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Runanga.

6.12 This 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 culture or values.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.16 The granting of an easement is to allow the installation of a utility on Council owned land.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Following the decision to grant this easement by the Community Board, we will seek Minister of Conservation approval then complete the documentation and processes required, prior to any works commencing on the reserve.

9. Oakhampton Reserve and Rosella Reserve Play Space Renewal Plan Approval
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1755734
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Holly Whitaker, Project Manager – Community Parks
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Nigel Cox, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to request that the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Board approve:

1.1.1 the concept plan for the renewal of Oakhampton Reserve play space, as per the attached concept plan, see attachment A.

1.1.2 the concept plan for the renewal of the Rosella Reserve play space, as per the attached concept plan, see attachment B.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Oakhampton Reserve and Rosella Reserve Play Space Renewal Plan Approval Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Approves the Oakhampton Reserve Play Space Renewal Plan being attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

4. Approves the Rosella Reserve Play Space Renewal Plan being attachment B to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The renewal at both Oakhampton Reserve and Rosella Reserve form part of the Community Parks Planned Play Space renewals. These play spaces are scheduled to be renewed based on their age and condition.

3.2 These play spaces are being renewed as ‘like-for-like’ meaning they will maintain the play elements currently present at the playground while ensuring that today’s NZ Play Safety Standards are being met as well as taking into consideration any basic updates to the level of services:

· Accessible picnic tables are being included as a standard in playground renewals and developments to allow families to have a safe space to gather and share food

· The play space at Rosella Reserve includes monkey bars which were a common theme in the community consultation

· The play space at Oakhampton Reserve includes an inclusive spinner bucket to ensure we provide greater variety on our playgrounds and include inclusive elements, where possible

· The concepts for both playgrounds are utilising nature play elements as a way of better integrating the play space with the surrounding park and support imaginative play

· Currently, in both Reserves, each play item is stand alone, in terms of their location. To maximise the play benefits while managing the costs of safety surfacing, play items are now grouped together.

3.3 The proposed geographical locations of the new play spaces are fundamentally the same, just placed in a clustered nature and moved closer to the footpath access, to improve on accessibility.

3.4 If the concept plans for both Rosella and Oakhampton Reserves are approved, construction can begin in November 2024.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Public consultation for both Reserves was conducted through the Korero Mai process in August 2023.

4.2 Rosella Reserve: https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/rosellaplayspace . Please see results in attachment C.

4.2.1 The initial concept plan outlined a relocation of the play space to the southern side of the Reserve and the addition of a carousel. Through consultation only five responses were received:

· One in favour of concept design, asking for monkey bars to be added

· Two did not comment on concept, just requested the location remain the same

· One requested more seating/ picnic spaces and a footpath throughout the whole park

· One requested the location remain the same and asked for more play elements- referring climbing and stepping

4.2.2 Considering the feedback, the play space was moved back to its current location and the carousel was replaced with monkey bars, additionally a play panel and nature play logs were added.

4.2.3 Adding additional footpaths throughout the Reserve was outside of the scope of the project.

4.3 Oakhampton Reserve: https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/oakhamptonrenewal. Please see results in attachment D.

4.3.1 The initial concept plan proposed replacing the existing seesaw with a more inclusive carousel, and the removal of two existing benches and the rubbish bin. Throughout consultation 22 responses were received, with a significant number referencing maintenance issues outside the scope of the project:

· There was mixed feedback with about half in favour of the concept plan

· Several requests were for a wider variety of play options, for a wide range of ages

· Five people requested we keep see saw and five were in favour of the carousel

· Thirteen people requested a seat at eastern end of reserve remain

· Ten people supported the idea of providing nature play

· Other feedback received outside scope:

· Nine people referenced tidying up bushes and (cabbage) trees

· Five people referenced repairing the fences

4.3.2 Considering the feedback, the concept plan was altered to maintain the existing eastern seats. A see saw has also been added back into the design, and due to space limitations, the carousel has been replaced by an inclusive spinner bucket.

4.3.3 Additionally, the Parks arborists have assessed the conditions of the cabbage trees and tidied them up. Some areas of the fence line have been replaced and Parks staff are investigating working with neighbours so this can continue along the western side of the Reserve.

4.3.4 Additional feedback was gleaned from recent staff workshops with several Hornby schools in regard to the ‘How do you play’ consultation piece. https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/playspaces . Feedback from South Hornby School (Oakhampton Reserve falls in the school’s zone) outlined “tamariki expressed interest in being involved in the creation of a mural, with the mural linking to the history of the area and the school’s values. This would support improving the sense of place and strengthening the ‘Hornby proud’ feeling amongst Tamariki”. Subsequently Parks and Governance staff are working on initiating a mural with the school, to be displayed next to the playground.

4.4 The following related information emails were circulated to the meeting members:

Date	Subject
26/06/2024	Project Update- Rosella Reserve Playground Renewal
26/06/2024	Project Update- Oakhampton Reserve Playground Renewal

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.5 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:

4.5.1 The Community Board adopt the proposed concept plans for the play space renewal in Oakhampton and Rosella Reserves, allowing construction to commence in November 2024.

4.5.2 The Community board does not approve the concept plans and requests that staff consider alternative designs and re-consult with the community.

4.5.3 Do nothing, leaving the existing play equipment in both Reserves.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6 Preferred Option: The Community Board adopt the proposed concept plans for the play space renewal in Oakhampton and Rosella Reserves, allowing construction to commence in November 2024.

4.6.1 Option Advantages

· The community get two new, safe play spaces, that provide increased play value and can deliver before the summer holidays.

4.6.2 Option Disadvantages

· No additional changes to the concept plan can be made. Without risking delayed delivery or increased costs.

4.7 Option 2: The Community board does not approve the concept plans and requests that staff consider alternative designs and re-consults with the community.

4.7.1 Option Advantages

· The Community Board has the opportunity to offer alternative suggestion to the proposed concept plans.

4.7.2 Option Disadvantages

· This option would impact on the allocated budget as the new playground design and engagement costs would be funded from within the current budget. It is likely that this would impact the level of equipment we would be able to include in a revised plan.

· Dissatisfaction of the local community due to the delay.

4.8 Option 3: Do nothing, leaving the existing play equipment.

4.8.1 Option Advantages

· This would provide Council with a saving in capital and operating expenditure.

4.8.2 Option Disadvantages

· The play equipment would be removed from Oakhampton and Rosella Reserve at the end of its life span resulting in no Council play provision in these Reserves.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 If the decision is made to revise the concept plans and re-design, requiring another round of consultation, there may be a risk to reputation that Council Staff are unable to deliver on proposed deadlines.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.2 As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register, 9 August 2024, the Community Board has the delegation to;

6.2.1 Approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration or addition to, any structure or area on parks and reserves provided the matter is within the policy and budget set by the Council. (Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards – Pg 96)

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to these decisions.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

6.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework that our residents have the opportunity to actively participate in community and city life, have a strong sense of belonging and identity, and feel safe.

6.4.2 Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the level of decision impacting on a low number of residents and a small change to the two Reserves.

6.4.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies: Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.6.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.5 Resident satisfaction with the overall availability of recreation facilities within the City’s parks and foreshore network - >= 70%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Please see attachments C and D and above commentary that refers to the engagement process taken, the responses and the alterations to concept plans, based on community feedback.

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

6.8.1 The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.9 These decisions do not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore these decisions do not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.10 These decisions do not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.11 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.11.1 Contribute positively to emissions reductions, in that local residents will have access to a play facility within walking distance and therefore may choose not to drive to other playgrounds.

6.11.2 Additionally adding play value to Community Parks, such as Rosella Reserve and Oakhampton Reserve, that act as thoroughfares between streets, may contribute positively to emissions reduction, in that children may be encouraged to walk/ scooter to school, rather than drive.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If the Board approves the proposed concept plans for Rosella Reserve and Oakhampton Reserve, the contracts for delivery can be awarded and construction can begin in November 2024.

7.2 Based on these decisions, the Parks Unit hope to have completed construction and re-open the new play spaces by mid-December 2024.

3.4 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.4.1 Council Engagement and Consultation.

· Plan Change 14

The Proposed Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (PC14) to bring the District Plan in line with the government direction that has been given via the National Policy Statement-Urban Development and the Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and Other Matters) Amendment Act to enable more development in the city’s existing urban footprint together with The Heritage Plan Change (PC13) were consulted on in 2023.

The Board lodged submissions and further submissions on the submissions made by others and presented to the Independent Hearing Panel (IHP).

The Panel (IHP) has released its recommendations on the Plan Change. The recommendations have been published on both the Council’s and IHP’s websites.

The Council decided on 18 September to accept a limited number of the recommendations of the Independent Hearings Panel (IHP), including the City Centre Zone, the de-listing of some heritage items, and several qualifying matters, which are constraints on intensification, in the City Centre Zone.

The IHP recommendations accepted by the Council are now automatically in legal effect and the District Plan will be updated to reflect the new provisions.

The Council is currently required to make decisions on those parts of Plan Change 14 that relate to greater heights and densities in and around the central city and commercial centres – such as Riccarton, Papanui and Hornby – by 20 December.

Those decisions relate to policies 3 and 4 of the National Policy Statement for Urban Development.

Decisions beyond those two policies do not need to be made until the end of next year, meaning the Council has more time to consider what wider housing intensification will look like for the district.

Council staff are currently working through a number of clarifications with the IHP ahead of the Council being scheduled to make more substantive decisions on Plan Change 14 by 4 December 2024.

· Welcoming Communities

The Council's Welcoming Communities team work to help newcomers (former refugees, migrants and international students) and relocated New Zealanders feel more welcomed, connected and valued in their communities.

The Welcoming Communities team is working towards creating a plan that is designed to suit the unique needs of people new to Christchurch. To help better understand the needs and experiences of newcomers, they are conducting a survey and invite people to share their thoughts and suggestions: Welcoming Communities Survey

· Tree Planting Plans

Consultation on the Quarry View Reserve tree planting plan opened on 11 September 2024 and will close on 6 October 2024.

Consultation on the Wycola Park tree planting plan also opened on 11 September 2024 and will close on 7 October 2024.

4. Advice Provided to the Community Board Ngā Kupu Tohutohu ka hoatu ki te Poari Hapori

4.1 South Express Cycleway update

Staff have provided an update on the progress of the Puari ki Niho-toto South Express Cycleway, that connects Templeton to the Central City, via Islington, Sockburn, Hornby, Upper Riccarton and Riccarton (see Attachment B).

The section of the cycleway, along the length of Kyle Park on Waterloo Road in Hornby has been completed about two weeks ahead of schedule. Further minor construction on the opposite side of the road will be completed as part of the Parker/Gilberthorpes/Waterloo package of work. In the meantime, the Kyle Park work will appear as a wide footpath with no line marking or signage.

Progress is being made on the final three stages of work required to complete the cycleway:

· Waterloo Road - Barters Road to Jones Road

The cycleway is being extended further west down Waterloo Road from Barters Road to Jones Road, where it will join up with Selwyn District Council’s cycleway to Rolleston.

This stage will include line markings and wayfinding signage within the Waterloo Business Park.

· Parker Street/Gilberthorpes Road/Waterloo Road/Moffet Street intersection:

This includes Waterloo Road from the western end of Kyle Park to opposite Finsbury Street.

The Parker Street level crossing design required for the cycleway is still being progressed with KiwiRail and is anticipated to be approved in early 2025.

The design for this intersection is not yet fully approved by Council and a further report is to be provided.

The construction of these works is dependent on a Block of Line on the railway, and rail resource being available. Staff will advise timing when this is known.

· Waterloo Road – Finsbury Street to Wilson Street:

This work will be completed as part of the Halswell Junction Road realignment project.

KiwiRail is expected to complete the level crossing works in early 2025, allowing the final stage of Council’s transport project to restart.

The cycleway passes nine schools along its route, providing safe cycle facilities for the students, as well as connecting into two existing major cycleway connections (the Norwest Arc and Northern Line). It provides a well-connected and continuous cycle network to encourage less confident cyclists to be able to bike.

4.2 Matatiki Hornby Centre solar installation

Around $90,000 in annual savings will be generated by new solar panels at Matatiki Hornby Centre. 625 panels now adorn the roof of Christchurch City Council’s newest library and pool facility at Kyle Park in Hornby. The panel installation was paid for through the government’s Better Off funding grant. The amount of power generated will vary throughout the year. During winter, approximately 10% of the centre’s total power needs will be generated, rising to 36% during the summer months, for an average of 24%. A Newsline story and social media posts have been released to share the news with the community.

4.3 Community Patrols

Community Patrols of New Zealand is dedicated to helping build safer communities in partnership with NZ Police and other organisations. Patrols in the Board area include the Halswell, Hornby and Riccarton Community Patrols. Their Monthly Patrol Statistics can be found on the Community Patrols of New Zealand website:
