Kia tika te kupu

Tīhei Mauri Ora!

May the essence of below settle here

Bind together that we can’t see and bind that we can see

And have them guide us at this time

May the thought be true

May the words be true

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:

Grant McIver-Leasing Consultant

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 seek the approval of Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to consider an application from Physiosouth Limited for a new lease of consultancy rooms located at the Pioneer Recreation and Sport Centre.

1.2       The report is staff generated to support the current Tenant's new lease application and to seek the required delegated approvals needed to create a new lease.

1.3       This report is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  The level of significance was determined by the level of impact on the existing user groups that currently use the premises and whether this decision can be reversed once made.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.        Receive the information in the New Deed of Lease-Physiosouth Limited at Pioneer Recreation and Sport Centre Report.

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

3.        Notes that public consultation, in accordance with the requirements of Section 138 of the Local Government Act, has been undertaken advertising the proposed intention to grant a new lease and that no unresolved objections were received.

The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board recommends that the Council:

4.        Note that public consultation has been carried out with no unresolved objections.

5.        Agrees to depart from its Lease Policy for the Creation of New Leases and Extension Requests Prior to Expiry-Property (Lease Policy) and deal unilaterally with the current tenant, Physiosouth Limited; and

6.        Notes, in accordance with Sections 76-82 of the Local Government Act 2002 that:

a.        The granting of a further lease to the current tenant is inconsistent with the Council’s Lease Policy.

b.        The reason for the inconsistency is due to the proposed unilateral dealing with the current tenant who maintains an existing level of service, noting there may potentially be a broader market and public interest.

c.        There is no intention that the Lease Policy be amended to accommodate this decision.

d.        Approves the granting of a lease to Physiosouth Limited, located at the Pioneer Recreation and Sport Centre, more accurately described as being Part Lot 30-33 Deposited Plan 1968 at Centennial Park for a term of up to nine (9) years commencing on 1 October 2024.

7.        Requests the Manager Property Consultancy to conclude and administer the terms and conditions of the lease.

 

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       Physiosouth Limited (the Tenant) was awarded a lease through a Request for Proposals process in 2015.

3.2       The current lease expired on 30 September 2024 and is holding over monthly pending the outcome of this report.

3.3       The Tenant has requested a new lease to facilitate ongoing physiotherapy services to the local community and to enable refurbishment and continued investment in the leased premises to occur.

3.4       This request is supported by Council’s Recreation and Sport Unit who see the Tenant as a good fit for the facility.  New gym memberships are facilitated through patient referrals and the physiotherapy services help the people of the community to improve activity levels and general wellbeing. The Tenant’s services significantly enhance the health, recreation and liveability for residents of Christchurch.

3.5       Council’s Leasing Policy allows the Council to deal unilaterally where it is of mutual benefit, and it is reasonable and warranted to do so.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       The land and buildings are at Centennial Park located at 75 Lyttleton Street and described as part of Lot 30-33 Deposited Plan 1968 vested in the Christchurch City Council. The premises is part of the Pioneer Recreation and Sport Centre and held as a park under the Local Government Act 2002.

4.2       The current lease to the Tenant was awarded through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process in 2015 and expired on 30 September 2024.

4.4       The Tenant wishes to align their own refurbishment works with the Council’s 12-year refurbishment plan for the wider facility. On approval of a new lease the Tenant will refurbish the Pioneer clinic in late 2024.

4.5       The lease application is supported by Council’s Recreation and Sport unit who confirm the following mutual benefits that the tenant brings to the facility:

·   Customer focused, serving the local community for over 25 years.

·   Supports community services and Hàpai access card holders in assessing and planning programmes to meet activity goals.

·   Council’s Recreation and Sport unit notes that the Tenant has developed strong relationships with Council and the Pioneer sporting facility by facilitating new gym memberships through patient registrations, helping the people of the community to improve activity levels and general wellbeing; and

·   Existing relationships with fitness and gym instructors at the Pioneer gym, facilitating group fitness classes into individual’s return to activity plans.

4.6       Physiosouth Limited lease terms proposed:

4.6.1   Initial lease term of three (3) years from 1 October 2024 with two (2) rights of renewal each of three (3) years each for a total of nine (9) years if rights of renewal are exercised.

4.6.2   Final expiry of 30 September 2033.

4.6.3   Rent reviews to market rent every three years.

4.6.4   Market rental or 8% of gross annual sales (whichever is greater).

4.6.5   Current lease terms and commercial conditions are proposed to remain the same, updated only as to any changes to lease form or content and additional Council policy since 2015.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.7.1   Deal unilaterally and grant a new lease.

4.7.2   Run a Request for Proposals tender.

4.8       The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.8.1   Repurpose the leased premises for an alternative use.

·      Advantage –Opportunity to assess an alternative use for a public asset under Local Government Act requirements to operate open and transparently.

·      Disadvantage – In considering an alternative use it is noted that Council’s Recreation and Sport unit are satisfied with the application and supportive of the existing service continuing.

 

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.9 Preferred Option: Deal unilaterally and grant a new lease.

4.9.1   Option Description: Enter a new lease on standard commercial terms.

4.9.2   Option Advantages

·      Provides for continuity of service to the local community.

·      Allows for further investment in the business by the tenants.

·      Provide certainty for the business and staff.

·      Provides continued commercial income return to Council.

·      No concerns over the current service level.

4.10.1 Option Description: Do not enter a new lease and run a Request for Proposals Tender.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

The Council is not departing from policy, and we are providing an opportunity for the public to tender their proposals in this building which is a public asset.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

·      Potential for loss of service, income and the delay in the establishment of a new service provider (approximately 6 months) while a tender is run.

·      Existing Tenant needs to relocate either now or when a new tenant is appointed if the current Tenant is unsuccessful.

·      No guarantee that a new tenant would be a Physiotherapy services provider.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.11    The options in terms of the lease were assessed considering the proposed Lessee investment to the premises and the need for certainty for ongoing operation versus an alternative use for the premises.

5.   Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

 

5.1       Cost to Implement - Preparation of lease and public advertising costs.

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 small risk of the Tenant not renewing the lease in three years.  There would then be staff costs to run a Request for Proposals Tender for a replacement.  If this were to occur, the Tenant would be required to give notice prior to term renewal to allow the Council time to consider future use of the premises.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1   The Community Board has the delegated authority to grant a new lease on land held as park or reserve; however, as the decision requires the Council’s decision to deal unilaterally with the current tenant, the decision to grant a new lease must be made by the Council.

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1   The preparation of the new Deed of Lease is a routine matter on which the legal situation is well known and settled.

6.3.2   Compliance with Section 138 - Local Government Act 2002.

6.3.3   Council’s Leasing Council Property policy 2015 - “Creation of New Leases and Extension Requests Prior to Expiry”

6.3.4   Dealing unilaterally - legal consideration is the Local Government Act and the Council’s Leasing Council Property policy dealing unilaterally with tenants.

6.3.5   Further considerations on dealing unilaterally are outlined in Attachment A to this report.

6.3.6   It is considered that approving this lease supports effective and efficient use of resources and the prudent management of the Council’s assets.

 

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The required decision:

6.4.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

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 the level of impact city wide of those affected by this decision as low.

6.4.3   Inconsistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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: 7.0.7 Customer satisfaction with the range and quality of facilities - At least 80%  

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7       A public notice was issued notifying that the Council was considering the granting of a new lease.  This was published between 13 August and 10 September 2024.

One response was received during the advertisement period. The respondent had questions regarding the proposal process.  These were answered by officers and additionally the 2015 Leasing Policy was provided for reference. No further questions or concerns were received from the respondent.

6.8       The new lease ensures continuity of physiotherapy services to support the facility.

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

6.9.1   Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.11    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    There is no material change to the lease area or the permitted use of the lease that affects Mana Whenua.

6.13    The intention to grant this lease has been notified to Te Aporei Whakawhanaunga à-Tirihi, Council’s Treaty Relations Team; no concerns have been raised.

6.14    The Tenant has indicated that “we are actively strengthening our partnership with local iwi to ensure that our company’s decision-making promotes equitable access to culturally safe physiotherapy care.  We are currently working on a service development project, with input from iwi representatives. This service will be offered at all our clinics and is expected to significantly improve access to physiotherapy care, particularly for Māori and Pacifica patients, who are overrepresented in the demographics of patients who face cost as a barrier to receiving the care they need”.

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 due to the low carbon footprint of the tenant.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       Arrange new lease documentation and the signing and sealing by both parties to the agreement once agreed.

Bridie Gibbings, Manager Operations – Parks Development, Community Parks

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Andrew Rutledge, 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 seek approval from the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board for a landscape concept plan (Attachment A) for Purau Reserve.

1.2       The report is staff-generated.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.        Receives the information in the Purau Reserve Landscape Concept Plan 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 landscape plan attached to this report (Attachment A)

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       This report outlines the recent developments, concerns, and proposed actions regarding the management of Purau Reserve. In September 2023, the removal of trees and vegetation by Parks staff and volunteers without prior consultation, raised significant concerns among neighbouring residents. Their primary concerns were potential land destabilisation and loss of the reserve's character. In response, staff engaged a geotechnical engineer to assess the bank's stability, resulting in a report (Attachment B) that identified limited immediate risk to neighbouring properties and recommended new planting to stabilise the bank and reduce runoff.

3.2       A stop-work notice was issued, followed by discussions between staff and volunteers from the 'Friends of Purau Reserve' (FPR). Early engagement with the community in March 2024 informed the development of a Draft Landscape Concept Plan, which was subsequently released for public consultation from 29 May to 26 June 2024. Feedback from 21 individuals and one recognised organisation showed a majority support (61.0%) for the proposed plan.

3.3       In response to the feedback received, several changes were made to the draft plan, including relocating fruit trees to the road frontage, adding Podocarpus totara to the plant list, and removing Ginkgo biloba.

3.4       The purpose of the Landscape Concept Plan is to enable ongoing volunteer efforts while addressing the concerns of neighbouring residents.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Purau Reserve has been a focal point of community efforts since June 2020, with the FPR actively involved in weeding, planting, and creating pathways to enhance the area. However, in September 2023, concerns arose among neighbouring residents regarding the removal of significant amounts of vegetation, including trees, from the reserve without prior consultation. The primary concern was that such activities could potentially destabilise the land, increasing the risk of land instability to neighbouring properties.

4.2       Other concerns included the loss of the reserve's character, a lack of consultation with the community, the removal of a plum tree, and the loss of seasonal variation. In response, the Parks Unit engaged a geotechnical engineer to evaluate the situation and provide an assessment of the bank's stability (Attachment B). The report concluded that while there was limited immediate increase in risk, additional planting would help stabilise the bank and mitigate potential runoff in the future.

4.3       Subsequent actions included issuing a stop-work notice and convening a meeting with the Manager of Community Parks, Head of Parks and FPR volunteers, to address the concerns raised.

4.4       To guide future development and address these issues, staff initiated early engagement with the community in March 2024 to inform a Draft Landscape Concept Plan. The consultation process from 29 May to 26 June 2024 attracted feedback from 102 individuals and three community groups, with the majority expressing support for the proposed plan.

4.5       Considering the feedback, adjustments were made to the plan to better align with community expectations and environmental sustainability goals.

4.7.1   Approve the Purau Reserve Landscape Concept Plan.

4.8       The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.8.1   Continue without an approved Landscape Concept Plan.

4.8.2   Only include native plant species in the Landscape Concept Plan.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.9       Preferred Option: Approve the Purau Reserve Landscape Concept Plan

4.9.1   Option Description: This option includes native and exotic species that provide bank stabilisation, addresses concerns raised by neighbours about the reserve's lost look and feel, and incorporates a limited number of fruit trees to replace the removed plum tree.

4.9.2   Option Advantages

Approving the landscape plan will facilitate planting around decaying stumps to stabilise the bank, guide the FPR for future working bees, and include neighbours and other interested parties input in its future development.

·      Aligns with Councils Food Resilience Policy

4.9.3   Option Disadvantages

·      Includes some species that some respondents do not consider important.

4.10    Continue without an approved Landscape Concept Plan – Consider but ruled out

4.10.1 Option Description: This option allows the FPR to continue to volunteer in the reserve without a plan, which has the potentially for FPR to inadvertently carry out works that require Community Board approval as per the Reserves Act 1977.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

·      Weed species continue to be controlled and planting to continue in Purau Reserve

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

·      This option does not allow for the Community Board to exercise its delegated authority to approve and adopt any new landscape plans

·      It limits the FPRs ability to strategically plan for future works and development

·      Does not consider wider public opinion or views as to how Purau Reserve will develop moving forward.

4.11    Only include native plant species in the Landscape Concept Plan – Considered but ruled out.

4.11.1 Option Description: This option only allows native species to be planted in Purau Reserve.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

·      Meets the desires of some respondents and aligns with Councils biodiversity strategy             

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

·      This option does not include most neighbours and other interested parties’ feedback

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       Not approving the Landscape Concept Plan will potentially place neighbouring properties at risk due to land destabilisation as the reserve may not be planted as recommended in the Purau Reserve Geotechnical Report.

6.2       The risk of not approving the landscape concept plan would delay the development of Purau Reserve and prevent the FPR group from continuing to volunteer in the reserve.

6.3       There is a possibility of amending the plan to only include native plants, as suggested by some submitters. This approach aligns with the Council's sustainability goals but does not consider the wishes of several neighbouring property owners.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1   Council has the delegation to approve landscape plans and plant trees and shrubs within the park.

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5       The required decision

6.5.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework. In particular this recommendation is strongly aligned with the community outcomes of a thriving prosperous city and a green, liveable city. The landscape concept plan will allow for the FPR and Christchurch City Council to build climate resilience and positively contribute to increasing tree canopy cover.

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 the fact that the development of the site impacts a small number of residents and park users

6.5.3   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: 6.3.7.4 Volunteer participation at community opportunities across parks network - Volunteer hours – maintain or grow compared to previous year  

·      Level of Service: 6.8.2.1 Increasing tree canopy in Parks - A net increase in total number of trees is achieved (1:2 replacement policy), with a minimum of 50% of the trees being medium to very large species

 

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori Early Engagement

6.8       Early engagement started in March 2024 to help inform the draft plan. A survey was sent out to residents neighbouring Purau Reserve and the Friends of Purau Reserve Volunteer group to find out what they would like for the future of the reserve.

6.9       We heard from 102 individuals and three community groups; Friends of Purau Reserve, Friends of Ernle Clark Reserve and Karitane Valley Residents Association.

6.10    Respondents were asked how important it was to them that more trees and shrubs are planted in Purau Reserve, and to rate how important or concerning certain aspects are.

6.11    Most respondents (94, 89.5%) said it was somewhat or very important to plant more trees and shrubs in Purau Reserve as shown below.

6.12    Respondents were asked to rate how important various aspects were to them when thinking about planting more trees and shrubs in the reserve. As shown below, the top three aspects were attracting birds and insects, planting native trees and providing enough shade.

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

6.13    Respondents were asked to rate how concerned they were about certain aspects when thinking about planting more trees and shrubs in the reserve. As shown below, the top three aspects of concern were loss of open spaces, loss of view and damage (e.g. paths).

6.14    This feedback helped inform the development of the Draft Landscape Concept Plan for Purau Reserve which was then put out for formal public consultation in May/June 2024.

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.15    Consultation on the Draft Landscape Concept Plan for Purau Reserve started on 29 May 2024 and ran until 26 June 2024. An email was sent to 105 key stakeholders, including Friends of Purau Reserve.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.16    Submissions were made by one recognised organisation, and 21 individuals. All submissions are available on Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk

6.17    A full table of submission feedback is available in Attachment C.

6.18    The majority of submitters were in support of the Purau Reserve Landscape Concept Plan. (13, 61.9%).

6.19    Submitters were asked to select which species they would like to see planted in the reserve. They were able to select plant species for the three following categories: Gully plantings, Hillside plantings, and Specimen trees.

6.20    Of the Gully plantings, most submitters (14, 64%) chose Pikopiko (Hen and Chicken Fern), Kōwaowao (Hounds Tounge), and Pikopiko (Shield Fern) as their preferred choice of species to be planted in the gully.

6.25    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.

6.26    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.

6.27    The planting of natives along the stream channel is in alignment with the Mahaanui Management Plan

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.28    The decisions in this report are likely to:

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

6.28.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.29    The plans will result in an increase in canopy cover across the city.  As trees sequester             carbon, this will have a positive impact on the Councils emissions reduction.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       If the Community Board approves the landscape concept plan, the stop work notice will be lifted, allowing FPR to begin implementing the plan and coordinating associated working bees.

10.  Locarno Street - Proposed Parking Changes

Reference Te Tohutoro:

24/1488899

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:

Toni Dakers, Traffic Engineer

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

  

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve parking changes on Locarno Street, outside St Mark’s School.

1.2       This report has been written in response to a request from a local resident for staff to consider options to improve pedestrian safety on Locarno Street, specifically for students crossing Locarno Street near the school gate during school pick up and drop off times.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.        Receives the information in the Locarno Street - Proposed Parking Changes Report.

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

3.        Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4-7 below.

4.        Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that the parking of vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of three minutes, on the southeast side of Locarno Street, commencing at a point 88 metres southwest of its intersection with Opawa Road and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 34 metres. This restriction is to apply between 8.15am-9.15am and 2.30pm-3.30pm on School Days Only, as detailed on Attachment A.

5.        Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southeast side of Locarno Street, commencing at a point 122 metres southwest of its intersection with Opawa Road and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 26 metres, as detailed on Attachment A.

6.        Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic & Parking Bylaw 2017, the southeast side of Locarno Street, commencing at a point 148 metres southwest of its intersection with Opawa Road, and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 14 metres, be reserved for Passenger Service Vehicles only, as defined in the Land Transport Management Act 2003, Section 5. This restriction is to apply from 12.30pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday, as detailed on Attachment A.

7.        Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northwest side of Locarno Street, commencing at a point 124 metres southwest of its intersection with Opawa Road and extending in a southwest direction for a distance of 22 metres, as detailed on Attachment A.

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

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       Concerns have been raised about the safety of school students crossing Locarno Street during peak arrival and departure times. There is no formalised crossing point on Locarno Street therefore students are currently required to cross between parked vehicles.

3.2       No Stopping restrictions are proposed to improve visibility between pedestrians crossing near the school gate, and to approaching drivers on Locarno Street.

3.3       A section of P3 parking is proposed to encourage parking turnover along the school frontage. This will apply between 8.15am-9.15am and 2.30pm-3.30pm on school days only.

3.4       On two afternoons a week a bus stops on Locarno Street outside the school to transport students to scheduled school activities. The return time of the bus often coincides with the end of the school day when high parking demands are observed. A bus stop is proposed to accommodate these planned trips which will apply between 12.30pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday and Thursday only. Outside of these times this space will be available for unrestricted parking.

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       High parking demands are observed on Locarno Street near the school during peak arrival and departure times. Vehicles parking over the driveways opposite the school, which impedes access for residents entering/exiting these properties, has been raised as an issue. Outside of these times, Locarno Street generally has a low parking demand associated with the residential properties.

4.2       Locarno Street has a 30km/h posted speed limit. The majority of students cross Locarno Street at a vehicle crossing near the school gate. The vehicle crossing is unused and provides a transition over the dish channel drain along the kerb.

4.3       The proposed no stopping restrictions extend over this vehicle crossing and further to the west to provide clearance for visibility. While there is no specific crossing point, the proposed option will achieve Approach Sight Distance standards from the location where students are most likely to cross near the school gate.

4.4       There are scheduled buses that pick up and drop off students on Locarno Street on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. These bus movements often coincide with 3pm school pick up times. Due to the volume of parked cars at this time, the bus is often required to stop within the carriageway. A formal bus stop is proposed, and this will include the installation of bridge blocks so students can safely board or exit the bus.

4.5       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).

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.6.1   Mark no stopping restrictions, P3 parking and a bus stop, as per Attachment A.

4.6.2   Mark no stopping restrictions, P3 parking and a bus stop as per Attachment B (the original Consultation Plan).

4.6.3   Do Nothing.

4.7       The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.7.1   Extend the no stopping restrictions to achieve crossing sight distance standards: Crossing sight distance allows a pedestrian to observe a vehicle approaching and fully cross the road before the vehicle reaches the crossing location. To achieve crossing sight distance in this location, without any other infrastructure improvements, would require no stopping restrictions to extend well over 100 metres in each direction. This is not considered to be appropriate in this location as the activity around the school assists with managing speeds, removing all on-street parking close to the school will be impractical for parents picking up or dropping off students, and it could also encourage students to cross in other locations meaning crossing movements will be less concentrated and less predictable. This option was therefore not progressed.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8       Preferred Option: Mark no stopping restrictions, P3 parking and a bus stop in accordance with Attachment A.

4.8.1   Option Advantages

·      Improves visibility for students crossing Locarno Street near the school gate.

·      Addresses the concerns raised by the school about the lack of space for the school bus to park during peak periods.

·      Encourages turnover of the parking spaces along the school frontage to allow more efficient utilisation during peak periods.

·      Addresses the concerns raised about vehicles parking over the driveways opposite the school, which impedes access for residents entering/exiting these properties.

4.8.2   Option Disadvantages

·      Cost to implement.

4.9       Alternative Option: Mark no stopping restrictions, P3 parking and a bus stop in accordance with Attachment B (as per Attachment B, the original consultation plan).

4.9.1   Option Advantages and Disadvantages

·      The advantages and disadvantages of this option are the same as the recommended option above, however the approach sight distance is not achieved in both directions from the assessed crossing location.

4.10    Do nothing – Maintain the status quo.

4.10.1 Option Advantages

·      No cost to implement.

4.10.2 Option Disadvantages

·      This option does not address any of the concerns raised about student safety or the operation of this site during peak periods.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       None identified.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1   Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install parking or stopping restrictions by resolution.

6.2.2   The Community Boards have delegated authority from the Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolution of stopping and traffic control devices.

6.2.3   The installation of any signs and/or markings associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

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

6.3.2   This specific report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit however the report has been written using a general approach previously approved of by the Legal Services Unit, and the recommendations are consistent with the policy and legislative framework outlined in this report.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The required decision:

6.4.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework..

6.4.2   The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.

6.4.3   The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on 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.

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

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

6.7       Transport

6.7.1   Activity: Transport

·      Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network (DIA 1) - 4 less than previous FY  

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8       Staff met with the principal of St Mark’s School and the resident who raised the initial concern to discuss the issues and observe the afternoon school finish time.

6.9       The original request was for a formal crossing to be installed. This site is not currently a priority for funding compared to other higher risk locations around the city, however this has been added to our Potential Projects database so it can be considered if funding becomes available in future. The recommended option has considered more immediate low-cost signage and marking improvements.

6.10    Staff developed a consultation plan with feedback from both the school principal and resident involved. Both were supportive of the proposal.

6.11    The consultation documents were sent to 14 affected property owners and tenants by letter drop and post. The documents were also emailed to the school for any further comment and for distribution to the wider school community.

6.12    Two submissions were received, one was supportive of the proposal but suggested that the no stopping restrictions be extended around 5-10 metres in each direction. In response to feedback, the sight distances have been reassessed and parking restrictions extended to improve visibility between pedestrians and approaching traffic. This change included a minor reduction in the length of the bus box to improve visibility to/from the west.

6.13    A further submission requested for a formal crossing to be installed, as above, the proposal has focussed on lower cost signage and marking improvements. A crossing can be considered in future if funding becomes available. 

6.14    The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

6.15.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.17    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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.18    The proposal in this report is unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change, or emissions reductions.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       If approved, staff will arrange for the new signs and markings to be installed.

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to:

1.1.1   Approve the location and installation of a basketball half court at Corneilius O’Connor Reserve including a drinking fountain.

1.1.2   Approve the relocation of the birch tree as per the attached landscape plan (refer attachment A)

1.2       The report is in response to a group of Mānuka Rangatahi who presented to the Community Board via public forum on 15 June 2023 around the desire to have a basketball half-court at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve. The Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board referred the request for consideration of the installation of a basketball half-court at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve to staff for investigation and report back to the Board. 

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.        Receive the information in the Cornelius O'Connor Reserve - Basketball Half-Court 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 landscape plan for the installation of a new basketball half-court, tree relocation and drinking fountain at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve as per attachment A – lp413001

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       A group of Mānuka Rangatahi requested that Council consider installing a basketball half-court at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve. They gained support from community groups in the wider Addington Community and presented their idea via Public Forum to the Community Board.

3.2       Staff have worked with the group of Rangatahi to develop a landscape plan that includes the court. We have completed community engagement and have brought the proposed plan back to the Community Board for a decision.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Cornelius O’Connor Reserve is located at 66 Harman Street in Addington. Mānuka Cottage is located on site and there is adjacent carparking as well as a small playground, open green space, and established trees.

4.2       A group of Mānuka Rangatahi presented a public forum to the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board on 15 June 2023 to request a basketball half-court at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve in Addington.

4.3       Council staff engaged an acoustic engineer to complete a preliminary noise review to ensure the court would comply with the noise standards in the District Plan. The court’s separation from neighbouring residents on the east side is 22m and on the west is 30m. The report concluded that the court would comply with the daytime noise standards of the District Plan but would exceed the night-time noise standards. Some general recommendations were provided that included:

4.3.1   The use of specialised perforated steel backboards which produce less noise than the standard plywood backboard. We have proposed to install this type of hoop. 

4.3.2   Use a softer surface for the hardcourt area. The report mentions that this would only achieve a minor reduction in actual noise levels. Due to additional cost, this has not been considered.

4.3.3   Ensure the backboard is well maintained and that there are no rattling elements. This will form part of the maintenance of the court if the court is approved.

4.3.4   Signage is recommended to be installed beside the half-court to remind people using the court that they are near a residential area and to be considerate of their neighbours. The local Rangatahi will collaborate with Council staff to develop this signage. 

4.4       The Rangatahi have met with Council staff on two occasions to discuss the proposal further, including if the court could be located at alternative Council parks. The group have selected this site as it is within the heart of their community and it’s easy for pedestrian access (not too far for them to walk to). They feel safe getting to and from this location and want to have a space where they can connect with their wider community. 

4.5       There is a basketball half-court located at Rauora Park (2.6 kilometres) in the Central City and courts at nearby schools including Sacred Heart College (850m), Addington Te Kura Taumatua (850m), and Te Puna Wai o Waipapa – Hagley College (1 kilometres). Both Sacred Heart College and Te Puna Wai o Waipapa – Hagley College are closed outside school hours meaning that local youth must cross either Moorhouse Avenue to access the half-court at Rauora Park or cross Brougham Street to access the basketball court at Addington Te Kura Taumatua. 

4.6       We also discussed the design in detail and what could be included in the landscape plan to support the basketball court. The Rangatahi have selected a drinking fountain, etiquette signage, and would like to include an additional park bench when funding is available. 

4.7       A landscape plan has been developed, community consultation has been completed and we are now looking to gain approval for the proposed landscape plan for the installation of a basketball half-court, tree relocation and drinking fountain at Cornelius O’Connor Reserve (refer attachment A).

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

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       There is potential that the court exceeds the nighttime noise limits of the District Plan. It is not expected that users will play basketball at night-time. Other courts in our network have similar separation and we have not received noise complaints.

6.2       We are looking to install etiquette signage with support from the group of Rangatahi stating expectations around when it is appropriate to use the basketball hoop and to be considerate of their neighbours. 

6.3       During the consultation process, two submitters identified the risk that balls may be thrown on to the road or playground and suggested a fence.

6.4       Parks staff will monitor this concern and if it becomes an issue, a net between the court and the playground could be retrospectively added.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.5.1    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)

6.6       Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.7       The required decision:

6.7.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework of Building trust and confidence in the Council through meaningful partnerships and communication, listening to and working with residents.

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

6.7.3   Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.10    Public consultation started on 4 September 2024 and ran until 18 September 2024.

6.11    An email was sent to 10 key stakeholders about the half court and encouraged them to share the Kōrero mai | Let’s talk submission page with their networks. Stakeholders included the Addington Residents Association, local schools and community groups, such as the Mānuka Cottage community centre which is located at Cornlius O’Connor Reserve.

6.12    Flyers with information about the plans and how to make a submission were delivered to Mānuka Cottage and 170 nearby houses. 

Summary of Submission Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.13    Submissions were made by four recognised organisations and 35 individuals. All submissions are available at Kōrero mai | Let’s talk.

6.14    The majority of submitters (38 out of 39, 97.5%) supported the court. Key reasons cited included:

6.14.1 Youth benefits: 20 submitters emphasized the positive impact the court would have on young people, by providing a safe space for physical activity and building positive relationships. 

6.14.2 Community building: 11 submitters noted the court’s potential to promote a sense of community and social connectedness among people of all ages and backgrounds. 

6.14.3 Accessibility: Nine submitters felt that an accessible court was much needed, particularly in an area with high-density housing. The current courts require crossing busy roads.

6.15    Two submitters suggested installing fencing or netting to prevent balls from straying onto the road or nearby playground. 

6.16    One submitter was against the plan, expressing concern about potential noise from court users during the day and light pollution if lights were to be installed at the site. A follow up email was sent to this submitter advising that a sound engineer has concluded that the court’s distance from neighbouring residents would meet the noise standards outlined in the District Plan. We also confirmed that lighting is not planned for the court.

6.17    All 36 submitters who completed the short form survey gave the proposal the highest 5-star rating.

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

6.18.1 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.19    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.

6.20    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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.21    The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.21.1 Contribute positively to emissions reductions, in that the proposal provides the local community an opportunity to play basketball, whereas they may have driven to other courts previously.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       We will promptly organise the transplantation of the tree.

7.2       We will work with the rangatahi to produce suitable signage.

7.3       We are aiming to construct the court towards the end of 2024.

12.  Heathcote Community Sports Club - proposed new lease

Reference Te Tohutoro:

24/1493956

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:

Felix Dawson, Leasing Consultant

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

 

 

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       To consider the application for a new ground lease by the Heathcote Community Sports Club for part of Heathcote Domain.

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 Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.        Receives the information in the Heathcote Community Sports Club - proposed new lease Report.

2.        Grant a ground lease to Heathcote Community Sports Club pursuant to section 54 of the Reserves Act 1977, for a lease period of fifteen years including renewals for an area of approximately 2486 square metres of Heathcote Domain being Pt RS41631 as shown on the plan described as Attachment A of this report.

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 Heathcote Community Sports Club was formed in 2013 and has leased the ex-bowling club site for the purpose of providing a community club for recreational activities.  During that time, it has re-built the pavilion re-laid the bowling green and installed a pétanque court.

3.2       Although small it remains a motivated and active club that requires security of tenure to plan ongoing activities with certainty and to enable applications for community funding.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

The Property

4.1       Heathcote Domain is located at 20-45 Port Hills Road with a boundary also on Bridle Path Road as shown in blue below.  It is held as recreation reserve pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977.

4.2       The Heathcote Community Sports Club is located at the north end of the park shown in red above with access off Bridle Path Road.

4.3       The property is made up of a single bowling green, marked A, a small pavilion marked B and a pétanque court marked C on the map below.

 

 

Heathcote Community Sports Club

4.4       The Heathcote Community Sports Club (the Club) is located on the site originally occupied by the Lyttelton Watersiders Bowling Club and then the Heathcote Valley Bowling Club. In around 2002 when the lease expired staff were unwilling to recommend a new lease to the Heathcote Valley Bowling Club due to the limited number of club members.  Instead temporary arrangements were made and the club was encouraged to develop membership strategies which had been unsuccessful at the time of the 2011 earthquake.

4.5       Following the earthquake the club executive re-focused the club activities into a noncompetitive sports club, re-named and re-incorporated with the “Club’s aims and goals built around the communities overwhelming support for a family-focused, non-competitive, accessible and inclusive organisation based on the existing green – built by their fathers and grandfathers.”

4.6       In 2014 the Heathcote Community Sports Club with around 65 member was granted a ten year lease.  Since that time and with the benefit of bowling club insurance money the Club has re-built the Club pavilion, bowling green and installed a pétanque court.  The Club currently offers lawn bowls, indoor bowls, pétanque and table tennis.  Light morning and afternoon teas are provided.  A liquor licence is not held with no plans to seek one.  The property is well maintained.

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

4.7       The lease was recommended in 2014 with some staff reservations that the Club would not be able to sustain membership without affiliation and support from a sporting organisation and structure to bring on young members.  To some extent this has been the case with limited income and club numbers reduced although steady in the thirty member range. 

The Club has recently been invigorated with a new executive and re-statement of its constitution with a primary purpose to “‘promote and encourage healthy recreation and social activities, particularly but not exclusively through the playing and practice of Lawn Bowls, Petanque, Indoor Bowls and other sports, games and pastimes.”

4.8       Despite membership and income being at the low end of viability, the Club members have indicated a wish to continue to function and an intention to work to increase membership.  Generally speaking, they meet the Councils’ requirements as a suitable lessee:

·    Incorporated society for recreation purpose

·    Steady membership

·    Historical use and investment on the site

·    Financially stable

 

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

·    Ground lease, 2480sqm (approx) including building 150sqm (approx)

·    Initial lease term 5 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 $1130.40 plus GST

 

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.10.1 Enter into a new ground lease

4.10.2 Do not enter into a ground lease.

4.11    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 for removal, then cost for re-instatement and on-going maintenance.  There is no identified need for additional open space. 

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.12    Preferred Option: Enter into a new ground lease

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

4.12.2 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 reserve

4.12.3 Option Disadvantages

Some risk due to small membership and income

4.13    Do not enter into new lease

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

4.13.2 Option Advantages

·      Possible more active use of site with another user

4.13.3 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 with community support, so to not grant a lease would be inconsistent with Council policy.

 

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.14    The options in terms of the lease were assessed taking into account 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.  It should be noted that the pavilion was built on piles with a view to easy removal should this be required. The likelihood of these consequences occurring is considered medium based existing steady club numbers and the commitment expressed by the club to expand membership.

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.

“To grant leases of recreation reserves in accordance with this section”- section 54 Reserves Act 1977

6.2.2   Reserves Act 1977-Lease entered into pursuant to section 54 Reserves Act 1977.

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

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

6.3.2   Reserves Act 1977, use consistent with recreation use classification, public notice pursuant to section 54

6.3.3   Department of Conservation approval pursuant to delegation to CEO.

6.3.4   The current lease contains a perpetual renewal clause so will require formal surrender

 

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The required decision:

6.4.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework, in particular the strategic priority of being an inclusive and equitable city that puts people at the centre.  Local sports club enable wellbeing, accessibility and connection.

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.

and 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 reserve, 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 taking into account the significance of the decision proposed.

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

6.9.1   Waitai Coastal -Burwood- Linwood 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.

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

4.1       Customer Service Request Report – A report on open and completed tickets (requests for service) in August 2024 is attached.

4.2       Attached Memos include:

·  Cornelius O'Connor Reserve - Proposed basketball court

·  Plan Change 14 costs to date

·  Investigations into renaming of King George V Reserve. Staff advised that the delay in providing a response is due to waiting on the Council Naming Policy 2023 to be formally adopted and staff resourcing issues.

·  Tennyson Street speed cushion update

·  Trade Waste Bylaw Review

·  Parking infringements to increase from 1 October 2024

4.3       At its Briefing on 23 March 2023, the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board during the elected members information exchange, a member noted that there is a longstanding stream of water on the road outside the Kidsfirst Kindergarten on Hackthorne Road, the Board agreed to request staff advice on options to manage or prevent this stream of water on the road. Staff advised: the leak outside Kidsfirst has been investigated and confirmed that the issue stems from the nearby Hackthorne Reservoir. The remediation solution is sitting with a Three Waters Project Manager.

4.4       At its Meeting on 9 May 2024, from the tabled correspondence:

4.4.1   The Board requested staff investigate the issues raised in relation to bicycle stands in Addington. Staff advised: Council do not have any budget for new cycle stands. However, staff keep a record of requests so if funding does become available or there is existing stock that can be relocated, these locations can be considered and prioritised. This section of Lincoln Road is identified as a priority on this list.

4.4.2   The Board requested staff investigate the issues raised regarding the Stop sign on Athelstan Street Simeon Street intersection.  Staff met with the concerned resident, local Police and elected members on 8 August to discuss the concerns.  The following actions were agreed:

·    Staff are consulting on a plan to extend the no stopping restrictions at the Athelstan Street / Simeon Street intersection further along Simeon Street to improve visibility for drivers turning out.

·    The Stop sign on Simeon Street, approaching the Milton Street intersection is being replaced and relocated closer to the kerb to improve visibility for approaching drivers.

4.4.3   The Board requested staff investigate permanent parking on Clifton Terrace. An onsite meeting was held with staff, local residents, and elected members on 16 August. A summary of the points discussed follow:

·    There is a project in the planning stages to address the immediate geotechnical issues around erosion and slippage of the benches in this location. The project will include reinstatement of the gravel shoulder, and will look to retain the current width (or extend it) where possible.

·    When an option has been developed residents will have the opportunity to provide feedback though the consultation process. This is likely to commence later this year.

·    While this gravel area will be reinstated and tidied up, it will continue to be an informal shoulder. The scope of this project is to alleviate the immediate geotechnical issues around water ingress and stability of the benches. As noted previously this site is within both a Class 2 Mass Movement Area and Cliff Collapse Management Area 2 in the District Plan. Options to fully mitigate this risk to allow for a formalised parking area to be constructed would require specific funding through the Long Term Plan. This is well outside of the scope and available funding for the current works.

·    The project team will contact residents about the consultation process nearer the time. As a more immediate measure staff will arrange for the vegetation to be trimmed back within the section below to maximise the available carriageway width, as requested.

4.5       At its Meeting on 1 August 2024, the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board requested staff advice on the limitations of funding when there is a percentage breakdown of funding between boards. Staff responded that this will be discussed at the next Board Chairs meeting.

Karakia Whakakapi

Tukuna te wairua kia rere ki te taumata

Ko te matatika te mātāpono hei arahi i ngā mahi

Ka arotahi te tira kia eke panuku, kia eke Tangaroa

Haumi e, hui e, tāiki e

May the spirit be released to soar to its zenith.

Ethics is the principle that guides our work.

As we focus on the success for our community

Bring together! Gather together and bind together!
