Factors to Consider When Dealing Unilaterally - Physiosouth |
24/1642954 |
137 |
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.
4.3 The Tenant wishes to continue their business plan objectives of “providing every customer with a solution to their problem”. This is proposed to be delivered through an expanding range of treatment pathways and through broader and deeper connections and partnerships within the Christchurch and New Zealand medical community.
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.
4.9.3 Option Disadvantages
· The premises is not available for any other uses.
4.10 Run a Request for Proposals tender on expiry of the current lease.
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.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the Council’s approval to release the draft Ōtautahi-Christchurch Future Transport Strategy (Attachment A) for public consultation.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Council:
1. Receives the information in the Draft Ōtautahi Christchurch Future Transport Strategy Report.
2. Approves that the Draft Ōtautahi Christchurch Future Transport Strategy (Attachment A to this report) proceed to public consultation.
3. Agrees to either:
a. Include hearings in the public engagement process for this draft strategy; or
b. Not include hearings in the public engagement process for this draft strategy
4. 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 Ōtautahi-Christchurch Future Transport Strategy (the strategy) is the Council’s 30-year strategic direction for land transport. It is a non-statutory strategy which frames and guides the Council’s transport investment, planning and policy programmes.
3.2 The draft strategy has not been updated since 2012 and is now in need of an update. A work programme to refresh the strategy commenced in 2019-20.
3.3 The framework and approach proposed in the updated strategy (Attachment A) was tested and discussed with Councillors at an Information Session on 27 August 2024 and has subsequently been completed. An overview of the updated draft strategy is provided in section 5 of this report.
3.4 Following the Council’s approval to proceed to public consultation, the Council will invite submissions for a four week period running over the remainder of November through to early December. Due to the high-level nature of the draft strategy a decision is sought from Elected Members on whether hearings are held following written submissions.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 This draft strategy would replace the Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan 2012-2042. The 2012 strategic plan focused heavily on earthquake recovery and regeneration. Actions from the previous plan have resulted in a safer and more resilient transport network. Our city-wide cycle network has expanded, and central city streets continue to regenerate.
4.2 Work was commenced on an update in 2019-20 to build on the achievements of the previous strategic plan and review directions in the face of upcoming challenges and opportunities.
4.3 Progress to date has been ‘stop-start’ and key milestones include:
Timeline |
Milestone |
2019-20 |
Initial engagement with internal and external stakeholders, literature review completed |
2021 |
Councillor Working Group established to guide development of the draft strategic plan Transport emissions model commissioned to underpin the plan Draft strategic plan developed and introduced to the Council. Further pre-engagement requested |
2022 |
Stakeholder and Community Board pre-engagement undertaken and draft strategic plan updated Decision to defer consideration of draft strategic plan until after the 2022 election Notice of Motion to publicly release draft Plan ahead of the 2022 Local Government election. |
2023 |
Future Transport Briefings to re-introduce the work programme for the new Council term ahead of considering an updated draft strategy Completion of an updated draft strategy delayed in December 2023 until the adoption of the 2024-34 LTP and the publication of the Coalition Government’s 2024-34 Government Policy Statement on Land Transport (GPS). |
4.4 Following the completion of the 2024-34 LTP and publication of the 2024-34 GPS, Council staff tested a refreshed structure and high-level content overview with Councillors at an Information Session on 27 August 2024. Proposed revisions included:
· a stronger alignment with updated local priorities: in particular, the directions in the Council’s updated 2024-34 Infrastructure Strategy; the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan endorsed by the Council in 2023; and continued alignment with the Council’s Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy targets and goals.
· positioning the updated document as a higher-level strategy: to insulate the Council’s transport strategy from transport policy shifts; and more clearly provide the scaffolding for implementation through future Annual and Long Term Plans.
· an updated strategic framework: incorporating updated priorities, such as, directions in the infrastructure strategy to balance looking after what we’ve got with planning for the future within our infrastructure portfolios; and filling gaps identified through ongoing work, such as, the inclusion of a goal for resilience and climate adaptation that was absent from previous publicly released versions.
4.5 Staff note that due to the changes in style and content noted above, the updated draft strategy is now a substantially revised document than the version that was released publicly through the Notice of Motion in 2022.
4.6 The following related information session/workshops have taken place for the members of the meeting. Staff have specifically integrated the substantive feedback from Elected Members at this Information Session which sought a strengthened focus on efficiency within the updated draft.

5. Draft strategy overview
5.1 The Ōtautahi-Christchurch Future Transport (2024-54) strategy outlines the Council’s high-level strategic direction for land transport. The strategy’s scope is district-wide at a network management level and it also focuses on areas within the city where growth is anticipated and transport developments play a key role in enabling that growth.
5.2 Its purpose is to guide the Council’s transport capital delivery, planning, and policy work programmes. It is also designed to ensure clarity for local residents, businesses, partners, and co-investors about our long-term vision, goals, and directions for our local transport system.
5.3 The strategy outlines the Council’s strategic goals and transport’s role in achieving them. This includes the need for a strong partnership and engagement approach to delivering transport with our local and central government partners and our communities.
5.4 It also identifies the big challenges and opportunities for transport over the next 30-years. This includes: planning for growth, reducing transport emissions, managing risks of natural hazards, improving safety and health outcomes, and managing ongoing costs pressures.
5.5 The strategy’s vision is:
· Transport is central to a more vibrant, prosperous, and climate-resilient district. It shapes and connects Ōtautahi-Christchurch and Te Pātaka-o-Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula, enabling everyone to move around safely and easily.
5.6 Six transport goals are proposed to achieve our transport vision:
· Goal 1 – Well managed transport assets: look after what we’ve got, maximise whole-of-life value and adopt innovative maintenance solutions.
· Goal 2 – A more resilient transport network: create a resilient transport network which is able to react and adapt to natural hazards.
· Goal 3 – A safer transport network: build and maintain safer infrastructure to ensure that everyone gets to where they are going safely, regardless of how they are travelling.
· Goal 4 – A more efficient transport network: prioritise journey time efficiency for economic and essential travel and explore more proactive demand management options as our population grows.
· Goal 5 – Genuine transport choices for everyone: improve alternative options to reduce transport emissions, increase road network efficiency and enable inclusive access for all transport users as we grow.
· Goal 6 – A vibrant, healthy and liveable city: Continue to make our city a great place to live, work and visit through creating streets and neighbourhoods designed for people, businesses and communities.
5.7 The development of a more detailed implementation plan following adoption of this strategy with delivery primarily through our ongoing Annual and Long-Term Plans is proposed.
5.8 The strategy proposes an implementation approach and a supporting monitoring and reporting framework. This includes taking a strategic ‘pipeline’ approach to a supporting 10-year work programme which would consist of:
5.8.1 Continuous improvement: doing the basics better and enhancing our core network assets to achieve better value-for-money and improved safety, resilience and efficiency outcomes.
5.8.2 Strategic foundations: delivering the strategic transport programmes that will underpin our growth, resilience and climate change response.
5.8.3 On the horizon: planning ahead to grow well as a district, manage emerging risks and shape our future delivery pipeline.
5.9 The implementation approach explicitly acknowledges that funding and revenue sources for implementing the strategy will evolve over the life of the strategy and that the required funding will be significant. The detailed timing for implementing proposed initiatives and the estimated costs will be updated every three years through our LTP process. This will consider the available funding, progress towards our goals and targets, and any wider trade-offs required for the effective stewardship of the city’s transport network. While shifts may occur at a project level over time, the intent of the strategy is for the vision and goals to remain enduring.
6. Proposed engagement approach
6.1 Transport issues are highly topical with our residents with a diverse range of views on issues. Reflecting this diversity, there are a number of stakeholder groups with vested interests or strong advocacy positions on specific transport issues. As the draft strategy is now a relatively high-level, direction setting document, a broad, open and accessible approach to consultation has been developed.
6.2 If the decision today is to proceed to public consultation, this would consist of:
· Delivering a broad-brush campaign for a wide audience across key channels. The focus would be on maximising reach.
· Driving people to our online channel Kōrero mai, where we’ll have consultation content reflective of the overarching nature of the strategy while still being accessible and easily understood. This content would clearly outline areas where feedback is sought and explain the reasoning behind the strategy.
· Specifically targeting our key stakeholders and highly engaged interest groups who will want to provide feedback.
6.3 Additionally, residents would be assured that there will be future opportunities to give more detailed input on specific actions or projects resulting from the final, approved strategy that may affect them.
6.4 Due to the high-level nature of the draft strategy, staff are seeking a decision from Councillors about whether to include hearings as part of the public engagement process. The advantages and disadvantages of whether to proceed with, or without, a hearings process are detailed for consideration below.
Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
6.5 The primary decision being sought in this report is to agree to release the draft Strategy for public consultation, therefore, the options are:
6.5.1 The Council could agree to approve the draft Strategy for consultation; or
6.5.2 The Council could decline to approve the draft Strategy for consultation.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
6.6 Preferred Option: The Council agrees to approve the draft Strategy for public consultation.
6.6.1 Option Description: The draft Strategy has been written by Council staff with input over the life of its development from stakeholders, partner agencies, and a Council working group. It has been drafted to align and integrate wider Council strategies and priorities for transport and create a single source of information on the Council’s future strategic direction for transport.
6.6.2 If the Council agrees to release the draft strategy for public consultation, this will be scheduled over a four week period in November through to early December 2024.
6.6.3 Option Advantages
· The Council has signed off on the development of an updated transport strategy in its Long Term Plan.
· The strategy is high level and has had significant input from technical experts within the Council and partner agencies. Testing it with the public would be beneficial at this stage given the length of time it has been signalled and in development.
· It demonstrates a commitment to a strategic direction on the transport system and provides funding providers with confidence of the Council’s strategic framework for investment in transport projects.
6.6.4 Option Disadvantages
· The Council has recently consulted on the 2024-34 LTP and before that transport directions were tested through the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan Huihui Mai engagement. As such, we have a reasonable steer of public views on some of the broader strategic transport directions outlined in the draft Strategy (such as, public transport proposals).
6.7 Alternative option: The Council could decline to approve the draft strategy for public consultation.
6.7.1 Option Advantages
· The Council could agree to an updated Transport Strategy based on feedback through community engagement from related recent processes, such as the LTP community engagement.
· The Council could choose to not proceed with the draft strategy and pursue a different course of action.
6.7.2 Option Disadvantages
· This option could create a perceived lack of openness in an area with strong public interest. An incomplete, interim draft has been in the public realm for some time and information about refreshing this strategy. There is, therefore, a reputational risk associated with not completing it.
· There is a risk that the absence of a clear strategic framework does not demonstrate a strategic case for funding of projects with external partners.
· Issues of wider concern to stakeholders and the community may not be able to be addressed on a project-by-project basis.
6.8 Option to having hearings as part of the public engagement process for the draft Strategy
6.8.1 The following advantages and disadvantages have been identified to inform the decision sought on whether to convene a panel to hear oral submissions following public consultation:
Advantages to not proceeding |

Proceeding with hearings avoids the risk of a large number of deputations to the Council when the strategy is considered for a decision. Given the extent of changes to the draft (compared to that released following the 2022 Notice of Motion), it demonstrates the openness of the process if submitters wish to make oral submissions. The wider group of interested stakeholders (beyond our partner agencies) have not been engaged on the current draft of the strategy.
|
The current draft is a high level, direction-setting document with more limited ability to influence at a detailed level. Residents will have further opportunities to provide detailed feedback at a transport project level and on any transport programme changes made through the upcoming Annual Plan. There have been a number of consultation processes recently, such as the (2024-34) LTP and Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan where residents have had the opportunity to be heard on transport directions. There are a number of hearings planned for completion ahead of the end of this Council term which may result in capacity issues. |
6.9 Staff are broadly of the view that not proceeding with hearings could present a risk with regard to perceptions of openness. However, this needs to be balanced with the high level nature of the draft strategy (and what can be substantively influenced) and the relative costs of convening a hearings panel.
6.10 For these reasons on balance, we are seeking a decision from Councillors about whether to proceed with hearings following public consultation. If so, this will be integrated into the process in early 2025.

7.1 The costs of the consultation are budgeted for in the existing Strategic Transport operational budget.
8. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
8.1 As transport can be a divisive issue, there is a relatively high risk that consultation feedback received will focus on more detailed issues than the draft strategy gets into. Staff will attempt to manage this risk by being very clear in the public consultation material about what feedback is specifically being sought, and at what level.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
8.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
8.2.1 The Council has the power under the Local Government Act to approve the draft strategy for consultation.
8.3 Other Legal Implications:
8.3.1 There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.
Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here
8.4 The required decision:
8.4.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework, in particular, with the strategic priorities of being an inclusive and equitable city prioritising wellbeing, accessibility and connection, reducing emissions and investing in adaptation and resilience; and balancing the needs of today and the future.
8.4.2 Is low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy, as this decision is to consult.
8.4.3 Is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies, specifically, the 2024-34 Infrastructure Strategy and the Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy.
8.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
8.6 Regulatory and Compliance
8.6.1 Activity: Strategic Planning and Resource Consents
· Level of Service: 17.0.11.1 Planning & investment supports the long-term transport and climate change targets - Implementation of Ōtautahi Christchurch Transport Plan (ŌCTP) based on current funds.
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
8.7 This strategy is a metro-level strategy and therefore has implications for all wards/Community Boards on that basis. The views of Community Boards will specifically be invited as part of the wider engagement approach.
8.8 Community feedback from the upcoming consultation will inform the finalisation of the strategy.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
8.9 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.
8.10 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.
8.11 The draft strategy notes that strengthening our future transport partnership with mana whenua will be an implementation priority. In particular, through ongoing climate adaptation planning processes and the work underway through the Greater Christchurch Partnership to identify opportunities for improving accessibility to Māori Reserve Land to support kāinga nohoanga.
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
8.12 The decisions in this report are likely to:
8.12.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
8.12.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.
8.13 The draft strategy outlines the Council’s approach to mitigating GHG emissions from transport and planning for transport network resilience and adaptation.
9. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
9.1 Following the Council’s approval to proceed to consult on the strategy, public submissions will be invited over a four-week period.
9.2 The remaining pathway to adoption will be confirmed following the Council’s decision to proceed or not to proceed with a Hearings Panel.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek endorsement of the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme (ŌCPP) as set out in Attachment A.
1.2 The ŌCPP has been developed to promote a regenerative and integrated approach to land use and network planning. This programme provides an implementation pathway for the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan and other Council strategies and plans. In endorsing the ŌCPP, the Council will be agreeing to the prioritisation of local area planning, and the use of the ŌCPP as a framework to guide future planning for areas of the city.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Council:
1. Receives the information in the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme Endorsement Report.
2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as medium level significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Endorses the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme set out as Attachment A to this report, as a foundation for network and local area planning.
4. Notes that the programme is not being consulted on as it is essentially an implementation of existing strategic direction and the resulting local area plans will involve consultation.
5. Notes that the document will form a public and stakeholder information and planning resource.
6. Notes that the programme will remain responsive to an evolving city and changing government direction, continuing to be developed and updated over time.
3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 The ŌCPP is a continuation of the Council’s on-going commitment to spatial planning, which has seen the development and (in part or towards) implementation of the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy, Belfast and South-West Christchurch Areas Plans, Recovery and Regeneration Plans, and Suburban Masterplans. In short, what is being promoted through the ŌCPP is not wholly new, but a recasting and single view of the Council’s direction and focus for its activities over the coming years.
3.2 The ŌCPP promotes a regenerative and integrated approach to land use and infrastructure planning, to improve the short, medium and long-term urban and environmental outcomes for the city. The bounds of the ŌCPP is the Christchurch urban and rural environment extending from the Port Hills to the city’s northern and western boundaries. The ŌCPP is founded on objectives, outcomes and actions of Council plans and strategies that influence the city’s environment, form and function (see Long-Term Plan Activity Plans[1]).
3.3 A particular focus for the ŌCPP is providing an implementation pathway for the outcomes sought under the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan, including the Priority Development and Regeneration Areas. Similarly, the National Policy Statement for Urban Development (NPS-UD) and Plan Change 14 (PC14), which are shaping the future urban form of the city. Submissions received on the GCSP and PC14 continue to highlight communities’ concerns about increasing housing densities and the need to achieve good outcomes. However, whilst the District Plan and the NPS-UD establish where growth is enabled and the potential scale of development (i.e. the building envelope), they do not direct how good area-wide outcomes can be achieved. In simple terms, the ŌCPP seeks to establish a bridge between high-level policy direction and a broad range of outcomes sought, and tangible changes.
3.4 The ŌCPP will work at the city-wide level through network planning and the local level, primarily through the development and delivery of Local Area Plans. This work will identify issues and opportunities, facilitate partnerships, and direct investment and other initiatives in a staged and coordinated manner. Whilst some elements of the urban form component of the ŌCPP will need to be confirmed following decisions on PC14, this is not considered a barrier to the programme’s initiation. Importantly, the ŌCPP is intended to be a dynamic programme not a static document.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 The ŌCPP (Attachment A) is outcome focused, seeking to facilitate growth while greening the city, valuing water as taonga, strengthening local identity, and improving connections and prosperity. It requires a cross-organisational approach to bring together directions for land use, three waters, transport, urban forest, biodiversity, parks and open space, culture, community facilities, and heritage into a single programme. Critical to this will be alignment of related project objectives, supporting partnerships and encouraging collaboration at all levels, including with mana whenua as partners, the community, landowners, developers, businesses, organisations and agencies.
4.2 The ŌCPP’s proposed phasing for local area planning will see some focus on key growth areas for housing, principally along the City Spine corridor[2]. On-going work will address existing issues and future opportunities within eastern Christchurch and other prioritised Suburban Masterplan locations. Any other location will fall to being considered through the wider network planning component of the ŌCPP. Timeframes for each prioritised local area plan will be provided to the Council following more detailed scoping of the work required, but with the objective for these plans to be sufficiently advanced to inform the next two Long Term Plans.
4.4 The goals and direction of travel for the Council are clearly established within these documents. As the ŌCPP is essentially an implementation of that strategic direction, we do not consider there to be a need for engagement on the ŌCPP. However, engagement and consultation processes will be a component part of developing each Local Area Plan as projects within the ŌCPP.
4.5 If endorsed by the Council the ŌCPP will provide:
4.5.1 a resource for further guiding direction as part of the City’s urban growth and renewal conversations, including as a component part to the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan Joint Work Programme and GCSP Implementation Plan;
4.5.2 foundation material for developing a public-facing web page within one of our existing digital platforms, providing linkages to the broad range of existing planning and infrastructure related documents, projects, and initiatives; and
4.5.3 a framework for an integrated cross-Council programme that continues the current local area planning work along with commencing new work to reinforce the Council’s commitment to its endorsed plans and strategies, as well as maintaining a partnership approach.
4.6 The following related memos/information were circulated to the members of the meeting:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.9 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:
4.9.1 Preferred Option of endorsement of the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme.
4.9.2 Status Quo with no endorsement of the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme and no commitment to establishing a framework for local area planning.
4.9.3 Wider spatial extent for the ŌCPP to include Banks Peninsula.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
4.10 Preferred Option: Council endorsed Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme
4.10.1 Option Description: This option reinforces the Council’s commitment to network and local area planning and investment, being a component part of Activity Plans under the Long-Term Plan. It provides more detail as to the intended process and prioritisation of the work programme, and the specific actions undertaken over the short to medium term.
4.10.2 Option Advantages: Brings together activities across the Council to achieve an integrated and spatially focused programme of work. Demonstrates the Council’s on-going commitment to the implementation of the Council’s strategies and plans, including the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan. Sets out the key steps associated with developing local area and network plans, to ensure planning and asset teams are aligned and outcome focused. Enables strategic planning at a level that supports outcomes for defined areas that cannot be addressed through statutory planning i.e. plan changes and consenting.
4.10.3 Option Disadvantages: The ŌCPP focuses the Council’s operational resources into advancing the planning for specific areas identified as priorities over others. This may not be supported by parts of the community who consider that their local areas warrant prioritising. Reduces resources otherwise focussed on statutory planning processes including (but not limited to) plan changes.
4.11 Option 2 - Status Quo with no endorsement of the Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme and no commitment to establishing a framework for local area planning.
4.11.1 Option Description: There would be reliance upon the Greater Christchurch Partnership Joint Work Programme and GCSP Implementation Plan to advance planning and investment for new Priority Development Areas and the existing Council resolutions for those local area planning initiatives focused toward regeneration priorities. Under the status quo, the Council would advance new local area planning initiatives without a framework that outlines the outcomes to be achieved or the relative spatial priorities where staff resources are to be focussed. There would also be reliance on existing individual network plans and their implementation to address city issues and opportunities.
4.11.2 Option Advantages: This option may be more effective in commencing delivery across all, or a wider range of, objectives identified within the GCSP, for example prioritising more sub-regional initiatives such as the Blue-Green or Economic strategies (being actions within the GCP Joint Work Programme[3]). Alternatively, resources may be focussed on statutory planning processes (including Council plan changes) alongside the existing regeneration work programme. Collectively, this provides for a potential wide ambit of future work.
4.11.3 Option Disadvantages: The wide spread of the potential work programmes will limit the momentum able to be achieved. There would not be a framework to guide the process and decision-making for local area planning, nor any oversight of where local area planning is being prioritised. Without cross-Council and cross-agency clarity on priorities, issue resolution may not be addressed in an integrated way, nor opportunities seized upon to support holistic solutions. This would fail to take advantage of a key mechanism to demonstrate and guide the implementation of the GSCP in the context of the city.
4.11.4 The implementation of the GCSP Joint Work Programme relies upon each partner council’s knowledge, expertise, resourcing and commitments to land use and infrastructure planning and investment. Without endorsement of the ŌCPP, there would be a lack of clarity of how the outcomes defined at a sub-regional level are implemented in the context of the city. There is a risk that the outcomes sought in the GCSP are not clear in being spread across the Council’s multiple plans and strategies to guide local area planning in a city context.
4.12 Option 3 – Inclusion of Banks Peninsula within the Planning Programme
4.12.1 Option 3 Description: The spatial scope of the planning programme is widened to include the whole of the district such to include additional priorities for local area and network planning.
4.12.2 Option Advantages: This option would facilitate a review of the issues and opportunities for the Banks Peninsula area, achieving a whole of District approach.
4.12.3 Option Disadvantages: Expansion of the planning programme is likely to dilute the focus of Council teams from other priority locations, stretching resources and potentially lengthening delivery timeframes. This option does not recognise the different environments and need for a tailored approach to Banks Peninsula. The endorsement of the ŌCPP is delayed and precludes local area planning being advanced sooner in the context of a framework guiding processes and decision-making. The focus on local area planning for the Priority Development Areas and Regeneration Area defined in the GCSP is reduced with consideration of parts of the District outside the scope of Greater Christchurch.
Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina
4.13 In assessing the options above, the following criteria have been considered:
4.13.1 The effectiveness of achieving defined outcomes including an integrated approach.
4.13.2 Clarity of what is sought in the context of the city
4.13.3 Certainty of priorities and where local area planning is proposed
4.13.4 The extent to which issues are addressed at a local level.
4.13.5 The impact on resources and implementation of work programmes.

5.1 The ŌCPP has been prepared and will continue to be developed and implemented within existing operational budgets.
5.2 A key action of the ŌCPP is the development of funding and finance plans to identify capital requirements and funding sources. The ŌCPP is not seeking additional capital expenditure at this stage. It is intended that the planning work would be undertaken now, and implementation would occur (and therefore consideration of CAPEX) as part of the next Long Term Plan cycle.
6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
6.1 Risk that the ŌCPP timeframes are drawn out or refocused to respond to new or changing central government direction, such as the “Going for Housing Growth programme” and changes to the National Policy Statement for Urban Development. Noting that the ŌCPP is being delivered in parallel to the City Planning team’s Plan Change programme.
6.2 Risk of changing Council priorities and the need to respond to unforeseen issues shifts staff resources from the ŌCPP, including from other core teams required to advance the programme. For example, the three waters reform may become an on-going priority for the three water asset teams ahead of Local Area planning.
6.3 Risk that Local Area planning may give rise to community expectations of a level of investment within a specific time period, earlier than the Council is able to fund. This may give rise to reputational risk within the community and other stakeholders including central government agencies.
6.4 Mitigation measures include:
6.4.1 The endorsement of the ŌCPP at all levels of staff.
6.4.2 The establishment of the City Form and Function Steering Group (comprising General Manager and Heads of Service) to oversee matters and make recommendations to the Council on key (city form and function) programmes and projects such as the ŌCPP. Any risks if not able to be resolved through standard management processes will be elevated to the Executive Leadership Team and the Council where necessary.
6.4.3 Regular six-monthly reporting of Planning and Consents unit activities to Council.
6.4.4 Regular reporting to ELT and Council on the ŌCPP.
6.4.5 Integration of the ŌCPP as part of the GCSP Implementation Plan, noting the ŌCPP alignment with GCSP priorities, specifically the focus on Priority Development Areas and the Eastern Regeneration Area. The GCP will be kept informed of the Council’s progress and, through the GCP membership, will maintain relationships and support from partner agencies for the ŌCPP.
6.4.6 The ŌCPP has been intentionally developed (mirroring the Council’s previous Area Plans programme) as a cross-Council programme, resourced from across the Council. This is central to achieve the required integration, collaboration and ownership of the programme, and its success in achieving community outcomes.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.5 The preparation of the ŌCPP is not a statutory requirement, however it is intended to assist in the delivery of several Council strategies and plans. The Council has statutory authority to implement delivery of its strategic Objectives.
6.6 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 aligns with the Council’s strategic framework insofar that the ŌCPP draws from existing plans and strategies prepared across the Council and proposes a pathway for their implementation.
6.8 The ŌCPP is assessed as medium significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the fact that the ŌCPP will guide a process and decision-making for local area planning for directly affected communities. In drawing on existing plans and strategies, it is not a shift in the Council’s direction, however as an implementation pathway is expected to facilitate changes to local environments over time.
6.9 The ŌCPP falls within the LTP Strategic Planning and Policy Activity: Strategic Planning, Future Development and Regeneration, Level of Service: 17.0.1.8 Deliver integrated spatial planning that supports growth and development and meets the needs of the community - Christchurch Spatial Plan is reviewed annually and updated as required.
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.10 The decision affects all wards and Community Boards excluding Banks Peninsula. A Joint Community Board meeting was held in July 2024 informing members of the proposed ŌCPP. Subject to the Council’s endorsement of the ŌCPP, it is intended that Community Boards will be briefed on more details of the programme, particularly those areas prioritised for local area planning to be undertaken.
6.11 Community Boards and local communities will be an integral part of the ŌCPP and future engagement and consultation processes, and as a first step to identify local issues and opportunities (building upon those already identified through past processes).
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.12 The decision to endorse the ŌCPP does not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore does not specifically or directly impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.
6.13 The ŌCPP does however draw from and aligns with existing plans and strategies developed in consultation with mana whenua. In addition, Mahaanui Kurataiao Limited prepared the Nga Kaupapa report in 2022 for the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan project. This report identifies and describes the cultural values within the Greater Christchurch boundary, bringing together relevant cultural principles, Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan policies and other strategy documents to inform spatial planning. It reinforces that the Council must apply tikanga to the extent enabled by statute when making decisions and directs that protection of the cultural health of waterways and groundwater be elevated in importance. Further to this, the report emphasises that whilst urban intensification is supported, this should not be detrimental to the quality of the environment.
6.14 The ŌCPP reflects a values-based approach to protecting and restoring the health of the land, water, mahinga kai and biodiversity of the takiwā as set out in the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan and the Ngā Kaupapa report. The ŌCPP will be shared with both Mahaanui Kurataiao Limited (who received very early drafts) and Whitiora ahead of their involvement in the local area planning programme. In time, the ŌCPP may provide support to agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga, specifically if directed to support or implement the Kainga Nohoanga Strategy (which is addressing the development of self-governing Kāinga Nohoanga on Māori Reserve land and enabling and providing for Kāinga Nohoanga within urban areas).
Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi
6.15 The ŌCPP reflects the climate change issues identified under the Climate Change Resilience Strategy, Regional and District Plans, Long term Plan and Infrastructure Strategy. The specific network and local area plan actions, if successfully implemented, will build greater resilience to the impacts of climate change. The ŌCPP is therefore considered as a process to contribute positively to managing the effects of climate change and the identification of actions that may once implemented, contribute to emissions reductions.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
7.1 Upon endorsement of the ŌCPP, programme planning will commence with the establishment of processes and governance for decision-making and thereafter, local area planning for the priority areas defined in the document.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to set out the review of the Council’s Trade Waste Bylaw 2015 and to seek Council’s approval to consult on the proposed amendments to the bylaw, as contained in the Draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025.
1.2 The review has been undertaken to comply with legislative requirements that require bylaws to be reviewed within 10 years. This bylaw was last reviewed in 2015.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Council:
1. Receives the information in the Review of the Trade Waste Bylaw 2015 Report and its attachments.
2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as medium significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Determines, in accordance with the requirements of section 155 of the Local Government Act 2002, that the proposed amended bylaw – the draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025 (Attachment A to this report), based on the assessment in the Bylaw Review Report (Attachment B to this report) and the clause-by-clause analysis (Attachment C to this report):
a. is the most appropriate way of addressing the identified problems;
b. is the most appropriate form of bylaw; and that
c. does not give rise to implications under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990, and is not inconsistent with that Act, as is the required test.
4. Adopts the draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025 (Attachment A to this report) and agrees to undertake public consultation on the proposed amendments to the bylaw in accordance with sections 148 and 156(1)(b) of the Local Government Act 2002.
5. Convenes a hearings panel to hear submissions on the draft bylaw, deliberate on these submissions, and report the recommendation to the Council on the final form of bylaw.
3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 This report and its attachments constitute the review of the Christchurch City Council Trade Waste Bylaw 2015 (the bylaw).
3.2 The bylaw regulates the discharge of wastes from commercial and industrial trade processes into our wastewater network. It sets the framework for trade waste consents, including monitoring and the ability to charge associated fees.
3.3 The bylaw is made under the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA). It is required to be reviewed now, to comply with section 159 of the LGA and in accordance with the bylaw review procedure set out in section 160 of the LGA.
3.4 The bylaw has generally been working well since it was last reviewed and adopted in 2015. As well as general updates and improvements for clarity, the review has identified some proposed changes in order to:
3.4.1 Help manage contaminants that are problematic for the wastewater network, or the environment, or cannot be adequately treated by the treatment plant.
3.4.2 Align the bylaw with developments and changes in regulation and best practise.
3.4.3 Strengthen the Council’s consent decision-making processes.
3.4.4 Better manage permitted consents.
3.5 The analysis of issues, options and proposed improvements are set out in more detail in the attached documents, including the section 155 assessment required under the LGA in the Bylaw Review Report.[4]
3.6 It is recommended that the proposed amended bylaw (the draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025) (Attachment A) is approved for public consultation.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 Trade wastes are discharges to the wastewater network from trade activities undertaken at businesses and industrial premises which contain contaminants that need to be managed (e.g. greases, solids, chemicals etc.) A trade waste consent is required for these types of discharges.
4.2 The bylaw places controls on trade waste discharges to protect the wastewater network, as well as the stormwater network, public health, and the environment. It sets the framework for trade waste consents and provides the basis for charging and monitoring.
4.3 The bylaw is a regulatory tool which enables the Council to take enforcement action if any person is failing to comply with any bylaw provision. More detail on this is set out in Attachment B.
Trade Waste Consents
4.4 Trade waste discharges are classified as one of the following types:
Discharge characteristics |
Charges and monitoring |
|
Permitted |
meets limits set in Schedule 1A of the bylaw; and total volume of less than 1,245m3 per year. |
Annual flat rate (currently $245)
|
Annual Conditional |
Generally: does not meet limits set in Schedule 1A of the bylaw; and total volume of less than 1,245m3 per year. |
Annual flat rate (currently $420) |
Quarterly Conditional |
Generally: does not meet limits set in Schedule 1A of the bylaw; and total volume of more than 1,245m3 per year. |
Council assesses discharge by volume and contaminants on a quarterly basis, and charges accordingly. |
Tankered |
trade waste which is transported by vehicle and disposed of at the Trade Waste Reception Facility. types of trade waste accepted are set out in cl.17 of the proposed bylaw. |
Council assesses discharge by volume and charges accordingly. Council monitors the contaminant levels for compliance by sampling. |
Prohibited |
Contains waste prohibited by Schedule 1B and is not eligible for trade waste consent. |

4.5 There are currently just under 1,600 trade waste consents in the district in total. A large majority (approximately 1,200) are permitted consents (e.g. restaurants, takeaways, hairdressers and washpads).
4.6 Quarterly conditional consents are typically the largest trade waste dischargers. There are 180 consents in this category. Examples include hospitals and large food processing facilities.
4.7 We also have 50 tankered waste consents. These consents allow trade waste which has been transported from the originating site to be disposed at the Trade Waste Reception Facility (TWRF) at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant (CWTP).
The bylaw review
4.8 The bylaw review process, and what the review has considered, is set out in the Bylaw Review (Section 155) Report (Attachment B).
4.9 The review has involved substantial cross-Council work, particularly from the Three Waters unit, Legal Services, Engagement and Strategic Policy.
4.10 The proposed amendments to the bylaw have been based on the following considerations:
4.10.1 observations, feedback and advice from Council staff about emerging contaminants, wastewater treatment processes, consent application processing, best practise and practical application of the bylaw;
4.10.2 changes or new developments since the last review that may directly or indirectly impact on trade waste, including:
· the new Trade Waste Reception Facility which became operational in 2016;
· the damage to the wastewater treatment plant as a result of a fire in 2021;
· the increased responsibilities for the management of contaminants in stormwater, through the Comprehensive Stormwater Network Discharge Consent, which was granted in 2019.
4.10.3 any relevant emerging national issues, particularly in relation to contaminants and discharge characteristics; and
4.10.4 approaches of other councils to the management of trade wastes.
4.11 Overall, the bylaw is still considered fit for purpose and existing bylaw provisions should be retained, with some amendments and updates to help ensure the bylaw is clear, understandable and enforceable. In addition, there are some new issues which are proposed to be addressed with the bylaw. The key changes are summarised below.
Summary of Proposed Changes
4.12 Reducing the amount of inorganic mineral solids permitted in trade waste discharges - these materials (such as sand, clay, and silt) do not break down and can cause issues within the wastewater network including blocked or damaged pipes.
4.13 Specifying polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as prohibited waste – there are emerging environmental and health concerns about these manufactured substances because they are highly resistant to degradation, and they remain in the environment for extended periods. The wastewater treatment plant is ineffective at removing PFAS and they are ultimately discharged to the receiving environment.
4.14 Introducing a term of duration for permitted consents - Currently, permitted consents can be granted indefinitely. Providing a maximum term on individual consents (i.e., an expiry date) will ensure that all permitted consents are periodically checked to ensure they remain appropriate and fit for purpose.
4.15 Improvements to application process and consent decision-making including:
4.15.2 Strengthening application consideration criteria, as these largely focus on biophysical considerations at present, and do not include social or cultural elements, or legislative or regulatory compliance. This includes clarifying the consultation and decision-making requirements of the LGA may be a consideration when assessing an application for consent (e.g., the Council may seek views from Mana Whenua before making a decision on an application in certain circumstances); and
4.15.3 Clarifying and strengthening the reasons for refusal of consent.
4.16 Setting out the requirement for trade waste consent for dewatering activities in some circumstances – Due to regulatory change and increased responsibilities related to stormwater management, in limited circumstances, some discharges from dewatering cannot be accepted to the stormwater network and are instead considered for acceptance to the wastewater network as trade waste. Changes are proposed to the bylaw to clearly set out requirement for trade waste consent.
4.17 Improving regulation of tankered waste consents – The Trade Waste Reception Facility at the CWTP became operational in 2016, after the bylaw was last reviewed. Staff have reviewed the provisions in the bylaw related to tankered waste to ensure that they are reflecting current and best practice.
4.18 Including the permitted discharge volume limit – this change is not an operational or substantive change but is being proposed for inclusion in the bylaw for clarity and certainty.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.21 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:
4.21.1 Update and improve the bylaw.
4.21.2 Retain the current bylaw (no changes).
4.22 The following options were considered but ruled out:
4.22.1 Revoke the bylaw (and do not replace it) – Under this option, the Council would need to undertake the legislatively required review of the bylaw and recommend the bylaw is revoked. Public consultation on a proposal to revoke a bylaw is required. This option was ruled out because:
· Regulatory stewardship of the public wastewater network would be compromised, as the Council would lose a valuable tool for protecting the public wastewater network and managing the discharge of trade wastes.
· It is unclear how the Council would ensure that its obligations under the LGA[5] to keep a register of all trade waste dischargers would be met without the regulatory powers to require trade premises to apply for approval to discharge trade wastes under a bylaw.
4.22.2 Do not review the bylaw – The Council could choose to not review the Bylaw, however this option was ruled out because:
· The Council will not meet its legislative obligation to review the bylaw within 10 years after its last review.
· The bylaw will be automatically revoked on 26 November 2027 if not reviewed by the statutory deadline and the Council will lose an effective regulatory tool to manage the discharge of trade wastes.
· It is unclear how the Council would ensure that its obligations under the LGA to keep a register of all trade waste dischargers would be met without the regulatory powers to require trade premises to apply for approval to discharge trade wastes under a bylaw.
· A new bylaw would need to be made should the Council wish to provide a similar consent framework and protections in the future. Any new bylaw would be required to be reviewed within 5 years.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
4.23 Preferred Option: Update and improve the bylaw.
4.23.1 Option Description: Undertake the legislatively required review of the bylaw and amend the bylaw to include provisions to address the arising issues suitable for regulation via a bylaw, as well as making any general updates and improvements.
4.23.2 Option Advantages
· Complies with legislative requirements.
· Will ensure the bylaw is up to date and fit for purpose.
· The bylaw can be improved to address issues that have been identified since 2015.
· Consultation on the proposed changes will enable us to check in with our consent holders and communities to see if there are any further issues we need to address.
4.23.3 Option Disadvantages
· Additional matters to consider may arise as a result of the Local Water Done Well Reforms and will need to be included prior to the adoption of the final bylaw or may require a later amendment. This is discussed further under ‘Risks and Mitigations’, in section 6 of this report.
4.24 Option 2: Retain the current bylaw (no changes).
4.24.1 Option Description: Undertake the legislatively required review of the bylaw and recommend the current version of the bylaw is retained for up to a further 10 years. Public consultation is still required under this option.
4.24.2 Option Advantages
· None.
4.24.3 Option Disadvantages
· Does not address the emerging issues that have been identified.
· Misses the opportunity to make improvements to the bylaw, including alignment with current best practice, changes to provide clarity, and updated references and terminology.
· Does not align with the findings of the bylaw review (as contained in Attachments B and C).
Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina
4.25 Bylaws made under the LGA have special analysis requirements for bylaw reviews. Detailed analysis of issues, options and proposed changes are set out in the attached documents, including:
Draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025 (amended bylaw) Attachment A |

Bylaw review (section 155) report Attachment B |
Sets out the legislatively required considerations of reviewing a bylaw, including information on the bylaw-making powers and penalties. Describes the purpose of the bylaw. Describes the issues and problems that require regulation. Sets out proposed changes to the bylaw, and reasons for the proposed changes. Contains the section 155 analysis, including the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 assessment. |
Clause-by-clause analysis Attachment C |
Sets out each clause of the current Trade Waste Bylaw 2015. Provides commentary and staff advice on each clause. Recommends changes and the reason for those changes. |

5.1 The costs associated with the bylaw review are related to staff time, and consultation and communications. The external costs are anticipated to be around $3,000, which includes two public notices, mail notification to consent holders (where email is not an option) and collateral for consultation materials.
5.2 The main costs associated with the implementation of changes to the bylaw will be staff time to update information e.g., on the Council website and on relevant forms (i.e., trade waste consent application forms).
5.3 Specific costs are difficult to quantify until the changes to the bylaw are confirmed.
5.4 Depending on the final form of bylaw, there may be reduced costs associated with some of the proposed bylaw changes. For example, if a stricter limit on the levels of inorganic mineral solids is introduced, there may be a corresponding reduction in the cost of removing this material out of the wastewater network.
6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
Local Water Done Well Reforms
6.1 There is some uncertainty regarding the impact of the Local Water Done Well (LWDW) reform on this bylaw.
6.2 The LWDW programme will be implemented under the following legislation:
6.2.1 The Local Government (Water Services Preliminary Arrangements) Act 2024 (2024 Act); and
6.2.2 The Local Government Water Services Bill (the Bill), expected to be introduced in December this year.
6.3 The 2024 Act contained no relevant provisions that would impact on this bylaw. It is anticipated the upcoming Bill could include some additional regulatory powers for trade wastes, however it has been indicated the bylaw-making powers will stay in the LGA.
6.4 In addition, new environmental performance standards for wastewater are being developed, and are anticipated to be in place before mid-2025. The Council is required to consider these in the bylaw review, if they are in place before we complete the review.
6.5 As soon as more detail becomes available, staff will assess the impact and manage the implications on the bylaw review as necessary. There will be further opportunities to amend the bylaw to reflect any necessary requirements – whether this is before or after a final bylaw is adopted.
6.6 Staff do not recommend delaying the review to mitigate any risks associated with LWDW. The alternative options set out in section 4 come with increased regulatory risks. The internal work of the bylaw review is complete and there is a short window available now to complete the engagement and hearings parts of this process, ahead of the Annual Plan. Completing the bylaw review process will take a minimum of 6 months.
6.7 It is a challenge to meet the legislative review timeframe for the bylaw in the face of changing legislative reform. This has been a long-standing uncertainty for three waters. The best position for the Council is to maintain good regulatory stewardship through the uncertainty by having up-to-date bylaws and regulation in place.
6.8 On this basis, staff recommend proceeding with the bylaw review now to meet the current bylaw’s legislative review deadline. Staff will manage any potential impacts of LWDW if they arise.
Opposition to proposed changes
6.9 There is a risk of opposition to the proposed changes. Some risk has been mitigated by targeted early engagement activities to discuss early ideas as part of the review process (refer to section on Community Views below).
Judicial review
6.10 Judicial review is a risk for any bylaw the Council makes. Challenges can be on grounds such as unreasonableness, for being ultra vires (outside of legal powers), or being repugnant to the laws of New Zealand. A bylaw (or part of it) can be quashed by the High Court if it is deemed invalid.
6.11 The Council’s bylaw review processes are intended to minimise this risk as much as possible. The Bylaw Review Report (Attachment B) sets out the relevant matters that are legislatively required to be considered. This helps to minimise the risk of a successful judicial review by ensuring our bylaw review processes are robust and legislatively compliant.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.12 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
6.12.1 This bylaw is made under sections 145 and 146 of the Local Government Act 2002 (LGA) which empower the Council to make bylaws:
· for the purpose of regulating trade wastes (s.146(1)(a)(iii)); and
· to protect, promote and maintain public health and safety (s.145(b)).
6.12.2 Sections 158 and 159 of the LGA set the frequency of bylaw reviews. This bylaw was originally made in 2000 under the Local Government Act 1974 and reviewed in 2006 in accordance with section 158(2)(a) of the LGA 2002. Section 159 requires that subsequent reviews are required within ten years after the date of the previous review. The Trade Waste Bylaw 2015[6] is an amended version of the Trade Waste Bylaw 2006 and therefore this review falls within the 10-year timeframe.
6.12.3 Section 155 of the LGA requires the Council to make certain determinations as part of the bylaw review process. This includes determining that the bylaw is the most appropriate way of addressing the identified problems, whether the bylaw is the most appropriate form of bylaw; and whether the bylaw gives rise to any implications under the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBORA). The section 155 report (the Bylaw Review Report, Attachment B) details the above considerations and concludes that the proposed amended Trade Waste Bylaw (the draft Trade Waste Bylaw 2025, Attachment A):
· is the most appropriate way of addressing the perceived problems related to the discharge of trade wastes; and
· is the most appropriate form of bylaw; and
· does not give rise to implications under the NZBORA and is not inconsistent with the NZBORA.
6.12.4 Consultation requirements for the review of a bylaw are set out in sections 160 and 156. Section 156 requires consultation to be undertaken when amending a bylaw, either in accordance with section 83 (special consultative procedure), or section 82 (principles of consultation) of the LGA, depending on the level of significance.
6.12.5 The review of this bylaw, based on the proposed changes, has been assessed as having a medium level of significance based on the Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. On this basis, consultation will follow the requirements set out in section 82 of the LGA, in accordance with section 156(1)(b).
6.12.6 In addition to the general bylaw review requirements of section 156, there are special consultation requirements for bylaws relating to trade wastes set out in section 148 of the LGA. In summary, these are:
· public notice of the intention to make the bylaw must be given, including where to obtain copies of the proposed bylaw and of the ability to provide feedback;
· all registered trade waste dischargers must be directly notified and sent a copy of the notice described above;
· the consultation period must be kept open for a minimum of 2 months and any feedback must be considered;
· a copy of the proposed bylaw must be sent to the Minister of Health for their comment, prior to making the bylaw, but only after public notice has been given; and
· the Council must consult with any person the Minister of Health specifies.
6.13 Section 148(7) provides that both the requirements of sections 148 and 156 may be complied with by using a single process. Accordingly, it is recommended a single consultation process is undertaken, considering the extended consultation period and notification requirements of section 148.
6.14 Legal Services has considered both the section 155 analysis, as well as the proposed changes to the bylaw and policy. It is staff’s view that the proposed changes to the bylaw and policy are within the authorising provisions of the Local Government Act 2002, and that the attached report shows how the Council has considered its section 155 obligations for the purposes of reviewing the bylaw.
6.15 The recommendations in this report reflect that the requirements in sections 155, 159 and 160 of the Local Government Act have been met.
6.16 Should the Council agree to the recommendations of this report, Legal Services is satisfied, based on the engagement and communications plan, that the proposed next steps will meet all legislative consultation requirements.
Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.17 The required decision:
6.17.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework, particularly the following Community Outcomes:
· A green, liveable city: Our neighbourhoods and communities are accessible and well-connected, supporting out goals to reduce emissions, build climate resilience and protect and regenerate the environment, especially our biodiversity, waterbodies and tree canopy.
· A thriving prosperous city: Our city is a great place for people, business and investment where we can all grow our potential, where enterprises are innovative and smart, and where together we raise productivity and reduce emissions.
6.17.2 Is assessed as medium significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low number of trade waste consent holders that may be directly impacted by the proposed bylaw amendments, the varied level of those impacts, the technical nature of the bylaw itself and the likely low level of interest from the wider public.
6.17.3 Is consistent with the Council’s Plans, Policies and Strategies, in particular:
· Te Wai Ora o Tāne Integrated Water Strategy – the bylaw helps to ensure infrastructure efficiency and resilience- one of the eleven key strategic priorities.
· The Council’s Compliance Strategy, which sets out a high-level approach to regulatory compliance activities and includes policy on prosecution. The approach to enforcement of the trade waste bylaw aligns with this.
6.18 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
6.19 Strategic Planning and Policy
6.19.1 Activity: Strategic Policy and Resilience
· Level of Service: 17.0.19.4 Bylaws and regulatory policies meet emerging needs and satisfy statutory requirements - Carry out bylaw reviews in accordance with ten-year bylaw review schedule and statutory requirements
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.20 This report recommends public consultation on the proposed amended Trade Waste Bylaw, including targeted engagement with all trade waste consent holders.
6.21 Public consultation will also target the construction businesses using dewatering practices to make them aware of the proposed new requirement in the draft bylaw, requiring a temporary trade waste consent to discharge dewatering into the wastewater network when it cannot be disposed of via the stormwater network.
6.22 Staff have undertaken early engagement with Environment Canterbury, Te Whatu Ora, and a private waste management company, Envirowaste to help inform the review of the bylaw. These groups provided feedback to consider on tracking tankered waste, pharmaceutical and cytotoxic waste and current practices to safely dispose of it, and PFAS treatment. Staff have taken on board that feedback when determining what to include in the draft bylaw for consultation.
6.23 The decision affects all wards and Community Board areas. The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board area in particular has a greater proportion of trade waste consent holders, accounting for one quarter of the total number of consents, and 36% of the quarterly conditional trade waste consents.
6.23.1 Staff provided all Community Boards with information on the review, and an opportunity to provide feedback. The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board requested an information session with staff. Particular support for the proposal to introduce term of duration for permitted consents was noted by the Board.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.24 The decisions in this report do 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.
6.25 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.
6.26 The Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan has been considered in this review to help to identify the values and priorities for Ngāi Tahu in relation to wai, and how this relates to the scope of the bylaw. The relevant views are:
· Opposition to the use of water as a receiving environment for the discharge of contaminants, including treated wastewater, stormwater and industrial waste.
· Policies, programmes and incentives should be developed to minimise the volume of waste entering the system.
· The highest possible level of treatment should be required prior to discharge.
6.27 The bylaw cannot influence the operation of the wastewater network in general. However, the bylaw does help to ensure:
· That the level of pre-treatment required on trade wastes, before they are discharge to the wastewater network, is appropriate.
· That the Council can meet the conditions of the resource consents it holds with the regional council to discharge to the to the receiving environment (both for wastewater and stormwater).
· Cleaner production and waste minimisation is encouraged.
6.28 The proposed bylaw includes some relevant changes that could be considered to support these views (i.e. stricter limits on some contaminants). In addition, there are specific proposed changes to the bylaw that provide for cultural impacts and views of mana whenua to be considered in decision making under the bylaw. This is required by the LGA, but is proposed for inclusion in the bylaw for transparency.
6.29 Mahaanui Kurataiao were approached for advice on this bylaw review, and specific relevant issues that may be of interest to mana whenua in September. Any advice received will be considered prior to the final form of the bylaw being recommended to Council for adoption.
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 proposals in this report build on the existing objectives of the current bylaw rather than introducing significant change, but may have some positive impacts on climate change generally through:
· Effective management of trade wastes through contaminant restrictions and pre-treatment to help prevent and mitigate environmental harms.
· Encouraging cleaner production and waste minimisation.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
7.1 If the Council accepts the recommendations of this report, staff will proceed with undertaking public consultation to seek feedback on the proposed amendments to the bylaw, including directly notifying every trade waste consent holder in the district, and consulting with the Minister of Health.
7.2 Following the submission period, elected members will be invited to form a Hearings Panel, to hear, consider and deliberate on all submissions received. The Hearings Panel will then make recommendations to the Council on the final form of the bylaw. The final decision on the adoption of the bylaw is made by the Council.
7.3 Indicative timeframes for the next steps are set out below.

3. Relying on clause 32 of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 and for the purposes of the efficiency and effectiveness in the conduct of the Council’s business, and any other applicable statutory authority:
a. Revokes and amends the delegations set out in Parts B of the Delegations Register (as shown and highlighted in Attachment A); and
b. Revokes and amends the delegations set out in Parts D of the Delegations Register (as shown and highlighted in Attachment A).
4. Notes that these delegation changes take effect on the date of this resolution, and that Legal Services will update the Delegations Register accordingly.
3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 From time to time, staff identify various changes or improvements that could be made to Part B and Part D of the Delegations Register. This report set out three areas where staff have identified that improvements or amendments can be made and are discussed below.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 Part A of the Council’s Delegations Register contains the Council’s delegations to the Chief Executive. The Chief Executive is then able to sub-delegate those responsibilities, duties and functions to staff as she sees fit. These sub-delegations are set out in Part C of the Delegations Register.
4.2 Part B of the Council’s Delegations Register contains the Council’s delegations in respect of the Local Government (Rating) Act 2002 and the Resource Management Act 1991 as well as other matters where the Council delegates directly to staff and other persons because, for the most part, the law does not allow for sub-delegations of these matters.
4.3 Part D of the Delegations Register contains the delegations from the Council to community boards, committees, and other subordinate decision-making bodies.
Local Government (Rating) Act 2002
4.4 Following a review of Part B of the register, staff have requested that the delegation of the powers in sections 15 and 20 LGRA02 be revoked:
4.4.1 Section 15 – to determine a separately used or inhabited part of a rating unit.
4.4.2 Section 20 - to determine whether two or more rating units are to be treated as one rating unit.
4.5 This is because of a prohibition in section 132 that provides there is no delegation to officers of a function, power, or duty under subpart 2 of Part 1 (ss15-20A).
32 Delegation
A local authority must not delegate—
(a) the power to delegate; or
(b) a function, power, or duty conferred by subpart 2 of Part 1 or subpart 1 of Part 5.
Both of the functions provided in section 15 and section 20 can be covered off in the wider delegations under section 27 in relation to the rating information database.
4.6 Furthermore, and as a result of changes to the Finance group the Rate Revenue Manager is now the Rates Manager. It is desirable to reflect this change in Part B of the register.
Legal and Democratic Services
4.7 The recent changes to the Legal and Democratic Services team requires a small number of changes to delegations in Part B and Part D of the Delegations Register.
4.8 The position title of Manager Hearings and Council Support is now Manager Democratic Services. Additionally, this role has absorbed the delegations previously provided to the Council Secretary in relation to Hearings Panels and the Road Closure Officer Subcommittee.
4.9 It is desirable to reflect all of the proposed changes above in the register to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the Council and for the register to accurately reflect Council officers’ position titles.
Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.10 The alternative option that was considered but not selected as the preferred option is not making any changes to the delegations. This is not considered to be a reasonably practicable option because any decisions on these matters would need to be referred to the Council in each instance. This would not promote efficiency and effectiveness in decision- making.
5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi
Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere
5.1 The Changes to the Delegations will be entered in the Delegations Register by Legal and Democratic Services. There are no outgoing costs from making these changes to delegations.
5.2 Staff time in implementing the changes to the Delegations Register is met out of the Legal and Democratic Services’ budget.
6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
6.1 There are no identified risks caused by the proposed changes in delegations.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
6.2.1 Clause 31 of Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 provides that:
Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Act, or in any other Act, for the purposes of efficiency and effectiveness in the conduct of a local authority’s business, a local authority may delegate to a committee or other subordinate decision-making body, community board, or member or officer of the local authority any of its responsibilities, duties, or powers except—
(a) the power to make a rate; or
(b) the power to make a bylaw; or
(c) the power to borrow money, or purchase or dispose of assets, other than in accordance with the long-term plan; or
(d) the power to adopt a long-term plan, annual plan, or annual report; or
(e) the power to appoint a chief executive; or
(f) the power to adopt policies required to be adopted and consulted on under this Act in association with the long-term plan or developed for the purpose of the local governance statement; or
(g) [Repealed]
(h) the power to adopt a remuneration and employment policy.
6.3 The proposed changes to the delegations also don’t infringe the restriction in the Local Government Act 2002.
6.4 Other Legal Implications:
6.4.1 There are no legal issues or implications relevant to this decision.
Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.5 The required decisions:
6.5.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework
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 considering the criteria in the Significance and Engagement Policy.
6.5.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.7 Governance
6.7.1 Activity: Governance and Decision Making
· Level of Service: 4.1.28.3 Governance processes are maintained and published on the Website that ensure statutory compliance - 100%
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.8 This decision in this report does not have any community impacts.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.9 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.
6.10 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
6.11 The decisions in this report do not create a climate change impact.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to update the Council on the programmes and projects of the Planning and Consents unit as a 6-monthly update, in accordance with Council’s decision of 21 February (Resolution CNCL/2024/00012).
1.2 As the first update, the report covers the various activities of the Planning and Consents unit including Resource consents, Resource Management Compliance (Compliance with Resource Consents), Plan Changes, Greater Christchurch Partnership work programme, local area planning incl. Suburban Priority Master Plans, Strategic Transport, Urban Regeneration, Heritage and Urban Design.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Council:
1. Receives the information in the Planning and Consents Unit Update Report.
3. Summary
3.1 The following is an overview of the activities and is not intended to include a detailed overview of each project/ programme, having regard to reports to Council and Information Sessions on specific matters.
3.2 Staff would welcome elected member feedback to the general nature and content of the report to consider for future 6 monthly reports.
Programmes / Projects Update
3.3 Resource
consents
The Resource Consent teams are responsible for administering the
Christchurch District Plan. This includes processing resource consent
applications for subdivisions and activities that don’t comply with the
Plan, carrying out planning checks on building consents, providing general
planning information advice via our Duty Planner phone and email service, and
providing project-specific pre-application advice.
3.3.1 2023/24 overview
3.3.2 A total of 2,847 resource consent applications were processed during the 2023/24 financial year. This was a decrease of approximately 10% from the previous year as post-Covid development activity slowed.
3.3.3 Performance against statutory timeframes improved significantly with 94% of applications processed on time, compared to only 79% in 2022/23. Approximately 15% of applications were outsourced to external consultants to process to assist with meeting timeframes.
3.3.4 Subdivision consenting activity remained high. This was primarily due to subdivision of the large volume of multi-unit residential developments consented in the previous two years, together with ongoing greenfield development. 817 subdivision consents were granted and 603 completion certificates were issued. The Monitoring and Research Team publishes information about development of greenfield land on the Council’s website: GreenfieldReport - Power BI Report Server
3.3.5 Approximately 84% of consents were for residential activity, with the remainder being non-residential or mixed use.
3.3.6 Customer satisfaction is another key area of focus for the teams, in addition to meeting statutory timeframes. The 2023/24 survey showed a satisfaction level for the resource consenting service was 86%, well above the 70% LTP target and an excellent result for a regulatory service.
3.3.7 Our Pre-application Planning Advice service is currently suspended due to a shortage of senior planning staff. We know this service is valued by many of our customers and hope to be in a position to resume it in early – mid 2025.
3.3.8 Two appeals were received during the year:
· 228A Opawa Road, Opawa (RMA/2022/2828). The Council’s decision to decline consent for a 20-unit residential development was appealed by the applicant. Following mediation, a smaller 17-unit development was granted by the Environment Court via consent order in July 2024.
· Portlink Industrial Park, 320 Cumnor Terrace, Woolston (RMA/2023/2806, 3100 and 3102). The Council’s decisions to decline to issue certificates of compliance for stacking of containers and other materials were appealed by the applicant. The appeals are yet to be determined. A hearing was recently held on a Declaration to the Environment Court of whether containers are a building.
3.3.9 No judicial reviews were lodged against Council resource consent decisions.
3.3.10 July – September 2024
3.3.11 Application numbers remain high, averaging approximately 62 per week for the July – September period.
3.3.12 Performance against statutory timeframes is 94% for the year to date. The LTP target is 95% and achieving this is a key priority for the teams.
3.3.13 Approximately 25% of consents issued during the July - September period were outsourced to external consultants for processing. Ongoing use of consultants is likely until additional staff can be employed and trained, and to deal with peaks in application volumes.
3.3.14 We continue to see a lot of applications for multi-unit residential developments. 83 consents were granted during this period, comprising approximately 14% of total land use consents. Building consent information about the location and type of residential development (multi-unit vs standalone dwellings) is collated by the Monitoring and Research Team and made available on the Council’s website: Built environment reporting : Christchurch City Council (ccc.govt.nz).
3.3.15 Monthly lists of all resource consent applications received and issued are now available on the Council’s website: Resource consent applications of interest : Christchurch City Council (ccc.govt.nz).
3.4 Development contributions
3.4.1 Development Contributions (DCs) are administered within the Planning and Consents unit. The total value of revenue from DCs received in 2023/24 was $35,189,918 (excluding GST). Between 1 July and 30 September 2024, the total revenue has been $7,625,786 (excluding GST).
3.4.2 Over the first quarter of 2024/25 the team have completed 2,273 assessments which include applications for PIM’s, certificate of acceptance, building consents and resource consents. In addition, we typically review 15-20 building consent exemptions per day.
3.4.3 Objections, Rates remissions and other issues
3.4.4 There has been one objection in progress with the property developer arguing that their tenant, Cottonsoft, will place lower demand on infrastructure than what has been assessed. It has not yet been considered by a commissioner.
3.4.5 We recently received a remission application from the Art’s Centre, who propose to increase the number of food trucks on site. A report will be presented to Council for a decision, with the date yet to be confirmed. The resource consent hasn’t yet been granted. The Council may, at its discretion, consider and grant a full or partial remission of development contributions in unique and compelling circumstances.
3.4.6 Separate from the above, a Central City developer argues credits for their building that has been unoccupied since the Canterbury Earthquakes should be granted. The credits expired after 10 years in accordance with the
3.4.7 DC Policy
3.4.8 The Local Government Act 2002 requires all local authorities to have a policy on development contributions and to review it every three years. As the Council’s policy was last adopted in 2021, it is currently under review. Elected members received three briefings on this policy in 2024: 30 April, 13 August, and 29 October. The Finance and Performance Committee of the Whole will consider endorsement of the draft policy for public consultation on 27 November. If the Committee agree, consultation on the draft will run from early December through to mid-February 2025 and will be followed by hearings. Staff expect the policy review to conclude in May 2025.
3.5 RM Compliance
3.5.1 For the period, 1 July 2023 – 30 June 2024, 1468 consents were received for monitoring and 1419 Completed. For the quarter from July to September 2024,422 were received and 431 completed. Key issues include the following -
3.5.3 Waterway compliance: Work is ongoing with private owners to address a number of incidences of work occurring in waterway setbacks in breach of resource consents. Compliance action has been undertaken including abatement notices issued for a property in Riccarton.
3.5.4 Erosion and Sediment Control: The team continues to work with the Three Waters team to ensure building sites are meeting requirements. The Council’s compliance strategy is to educate and in cases where compliance is not achieved, enforce requirements.
3.5.5 Portlink Industrial Park: The most significant compliance matter has been monitoring of container storage at the northern end of Portlink industrial Park. This has included ongoing monitoring of noise as well as site visits to assess the effects of glare on nearby residential properties. This has been in the context of the Resource consent issued by Council and subsequently objected to and appeals to the Environment Court as noted earlier.
3.5.6 As noted in paragraph 3.3.8, the owner/operator successfully objected to conditions imposed by council and appeals to the Environment Court, including a declaration sought on whether containers are considered a building, is currently pending a decision.
3.5.7 Cleanfil sites: The team currently monitors 19 clean fill sites across the district. These are visited quarterly to ensure compliance with the Waste Management and Minimisation Bylaw.
3.6 Plan change status/ updates
3.6.1 Attachment A to the report includes an update on plan changes identified as a priority in the current work programme as well as projected timeframes for future stages.
3.6.2 Plan Change 14 has drawn on significant resources of the City Planning team and consultants over the last 12 months, with hearings completed in April 2024. Council received the recommendations of the IHP on 29 July 2024 and made decisions on part of the City Centre zone on 18 September. Decisions on the remaining parts of PC14 are required by December 2024 to implement Policies 3 and 4 of the National Policy Statement on Urban Development) and the balance by December 2025. It is anticipated that amendments will be made to the Resource Management Act to make Medium Density Residential Standards optional. Council will need to consider further changes to implement Government’s Going for Housing Growth programme thereafter.
3.6.3 Plan Change 13 (Heritage) remains on hold until decisions on plan change 14, the next step being hearings. An Information Session will be scheduled for early in 2025 to brief Council.
3.6.4 Plan Change 12 (Coastal Hazards) is being progressed, following earlier engagement. Reflecting on the findings of the IHP on Plan Change 14, staff are working through the evidential requirements to inform the plan change. Staff will report back to Council on this plan change with further engagement proposed on a revised draft plan change.
3.6.5 Work is also ongoing for two plan changes, namely the Industrial/Residential Interface, and Central City Noise in Mixed Use Areas the latter being one of methods to address the conflict around live music venues.
3.6.6 In the last financial year (2023/24), two plan changes have been made operative. Plan change 4, made operative in November 2023, addressed the issue of short term accommodation. The last element of Plan Change 5 which addressed noise sensitive activities near road and rail corridors, enabled all of Plan Change 5 to be made operative in January 2024.
3.6.7 The private Plan Change seeking to enable medium density housing on the corner of Fitzgerald Avenue and Harvey Terrace is on hold, pending Council’s decisions on plan change 14, which seeks the same relief.
3.6.8 There have been enquiries from landowners and developers for the rezoning of land elsewhere in the City. Any request lodged with Council will be reported to Council in the future.
3.7 City Planning – other work
3.7.1 Staff have been reviewing the rural zones surrounding the city to consider the appropriate outcomes for these areas, which will inform Council’s response to the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement.
3.7.2 A draft of the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement was consulted on and staff prepared feedback in July on matters of particular importance to the City. This included the direction on urban form, airport noise, natural hazards amongst other matters
3.7.3 Submissions have been prepared on a number of proposals from Central Government over the course of the last year including but not limited to Making it easier to build Granny Flats discussion document (July 2024); Resource Management (Freshwater and other Matters) Amendment Bill (June 2024); Fast Track Approvals Bill (April 2024).
3.7.4 Further changes are signalled by Central Government including a second amendment to the RMA late in 2024.
3.8 Greater Christchurch Partnership – implementation of programme
3.8.1 Key elements of the Greater Christchurch programme are being progressed with our partners. In March 2024 the Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan was adopted, which will be implemented through Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme (ŌCPP) and local area planning across the city including Priority Development and Regeneration Areas. The ŌCPP is addressed in more detail, under separate cover, on the same agenda as this update.
3.8.2 The Joint Housing Action Programme (JHAP) was also adopted in March 2024. The partners are currently progressing actions under that programme which investigate the feasibility of methods to increase the supply of affordable housing through the Greater Christchurch sub-region.
3.9 Local Area Planning
3.9.1 Separate reports canvass:
· The Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme is on the agenda for Council’s consideration at this meeting.
· An annual cross-agency ‘round up’ and commentary on progress on Central City and suburban regeneration activities. The most recent suburban regeneration and Central City biannual reports were presented to Council on 5 June and 21 August 2024 respectively.
3.9.2 Further updates on recent progress for local area planning priority locations are noted below.
Central City
3.9.3 South-East Central neighbourhoods:
· South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan adopted by the Council on 21 August 2024.
· Cashel/Clarkson Enliven Places Programme project agreed by the Council on 18 September 2024. The mural has been completed (in partnership with Elim Church, Tagata Moana, YCD and SALT Trust, and painted by Kophie Su’a-Hulsbosch), the bike corral manufactured, and the project is on track for delivery this financial year.
· Welles Street Enliven Places Programme project is in an inception phase, with targeted engagement closing on 27 October 2024 and a concept plan in preparation ahead of further consultation.
· Southwark Street Enliven Places Programme mural completed, with coordination from SALT Trust and artwork by Dcypher.
3.9.4 Vacant sites:
· Enliven Places Programme project at 691 Colombo Street completed, with post-construction surveying underway.
3.9.5 Noise Programme:
· Webpages further developed: Sound in the Central City
· Identity building: staff have commissioned work to grow neighbourhood connections (via Neat Places articles), noting that ‘getting to know your neighbours’ projects are a recognised method to support noise issues across mixed use communities. This further delivers on the South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan.
Suburban priority master plans (Lyttelton, Sydenham, Linwood Village, New Brighton) – implementation
3.9.6 Vacant sites:
· City Vacant Differential and accompanying remission extended to the above four centres via decisions on the Long Term Plan 2024 – 2034.

Linwood (Eastern Regeneration Priority Area – Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan)
3.9.9 As identified in the unit’s Activity Plans, a regeneration focus toward Linwood has been commenced, with initial work completed to assess the area against the team’s Great Neighbourhoods framework.
3.10 Strategic Transport
3.10.1 An updated draft Ōtautahi-Christchurch Future Transport Strategy has been completed for consideration at this meeting. This strategy is the Council’s 30-year non-statutory strategy which frames and guides the Council’s transport investment, planning and policy programmes. A decision will be sought from Council to proceed to public consultation in Nov-early Dec as a next step.
3.10.2 Council staff are currently undertaking an assessment with Greater Christchurch partner agencies to determine next steps for protecting the Mass Rapid Transit corridor in a budget constrained environment.
3.10.3 A joint Parking Policy work programme has been commenced with Transport Operations. The initial focus is on residential parking permitting and developing improved approaches to gathering parking occupancy data in urban growth areas to support more proactive parking management as the city becomes more intensively developed.
3.10.4 The first phase of a project to develop a criticality framework in support of climate adaptation planning for the transport network is close to completion. This project has been designed to support transport asset managers to implement risk-based adaptation planning for the transport network. It is a cross-Council collaboration with the Transport Asset Management, Strategic Asset Management and Climate Resilience teams.
3.10.5 Work has commenced on a review of the Council’s EV Charging and Car Sharing Policies to ensure that they are fit-for-purpose in what is a rapidly changing area. Councillors will be updated when this project is more fully scoped and progressed.
3.11 Urban Regeneration
3.11.1 In addition to the work noted under ‘Local Area Planning’ above, the following mahi has been progressed.
3.11.2 Great Neighbourhoods: A framework for assessing neighbourhoods against the Council’s stated intentions in various policy documents has been developed. This has been tested and incorporated into the South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan.
3.11.3 Enliven Places Programme: Rationalised and replanted the footpath planters in the Richmond commercial area.
3.11.4 Derelict buildings: Preparing information to respond to the councillors’ requested advice on options for a derelict buildings programme.
3.11.5 Central City Business Association: ongoing liaison with the board, towards completion of the annual grant agreement.
3.12 Heritage
3.12.1 Heritage festival
3.12.2 The Christchurch Heritage Festival 2024 ran from 12 to 28th October. The Christchurch Heritage Festival is an opportunity to share the stories of the past that link us to this place. He tātai muka, he tātai tangata – weave together the strands, weave together the people. A wide range of events ran throughout Christchurch, with Selwyn and Waimakariri events also part of the programme. The theme this year was ‘Active Heritage – Sport, Recreation and Leisure’. This year marked the 50-year anniversary of the 1974 British Commonwealth Games in Christchurch which was the starting point for the theme for this year's festival.
3.12.3 Many events in the community programme referenced the theme to share how sport, recreation and leisure have shaped our diverse communities here in Ōtautahi-Christchurch, Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū-Banks Peninsula and the wider Canterbury region. The festival included walks, talks, music, open days, activities, and exhibitions.
3.12.4 Heritage Grant Funding
3.12.5 The ‘Our Heritage, Our Taonga’ Heritage Strategy 2019-2029 was developed in partnership with the six papatipu rūnanga and together with the communities of the district. This engagement affirmed a strong community desire to understand, celebrate and protect its heritage and a recognition of the responsibility to future generations to safeguard Ōtautahi Christchurch’s rich and diverse taonga. Whāinga Goal 4, Action 4 of the strategy includes the ongoing provision of Heritage Incentive grant funding.
3.12.6 Although no new heritage grants are available this financial year, Council staff have been continuing to administer heritage grants which were approved in previous years. Most outstanding grants were approved in FY 2023/2024 and were approved by Council on the 15 May and on the 19 June 2024. These applications resulted in all remaining heritage grant funds being fully allocated, a total of $532,856. These grants have or will support a number of heritage events and physical items including residential and commercial buildings as well as church stained glass windows, family gravestones and a Lew Summers Sculpture. A grant was also given to help with the relocation and restoration of a former school building owned by Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke at Rāpaki.
3.12.7 As a result of the grants, a number of buildings will have an extra layer of protection via a conservation covenant, which is a legal agreement between the Council and the owner to preserve the item either in perpetuity or for a stated timeframe.
3.13 Urban Design
3.13.1 Updates on grant funds managed within the team:
· City-making partner funding – third and final year of grant funding agreements through to August 2024.
· Place Partnership Fund – 100% allocation of funding at 2023/24 year end. First applications for 2024/25 considered by a staff evaluation panel 24 September. Three applications have been funded via staff delegation, and one application is underway for reporting to Council 6 November for a decision.
· Sustainability Fund – 100% allocation of funding at 2023/24 year end. Following confirmation of funding through the Long Term Plan, technical oversight has been transferred to the Coastal Hazards Adaptation Planning team with technical advice and participation in evaluation panel ongoing.
3.13.2 Approximately 140 resource consent applications were reviewed within the period (April to September 2024) and urban designers have continued to provide pre-application advice with 23 discussions supported. External consultant advice was sought for just one application.
3.13.3 Multi-unit residential developments have been reviewed across all existing residential zones. Monitoring of consents assesses overall design quality and identifies issues regularly arising so these can be proactively managed and inform development of external guidance and training for staff. For example, guidance has been revised to support improved lighting .
3.13.4 Within the period, advice for at grade car parks (temporary and permanent) has focussed on the street interface and improvements are evident across recently developed sites as noted earlier. Advice for new homes within Character Areas is regularly provided and supported by design guidance. Applications for digital billboards are steady with more challenging locations from a visual impact perspective now being sought, including adjacent to residential areas and within smaller centres.
3.13.5 Independent, multi-disciplinary design review advice was provided through two Christchurch Urban Design Panel meetings during the period (proposals for a hotel/office development and an apartment building).
3.13.6 Urban design advice is provided across a range of Council projects and to varying levels. Projects have included the Performing Arts Precinct, Cathedral Square improvements, Gloucester Street, New Brighton projects, transport schemes, public transport improvements, Council owned properties, and advice on third party proposals affecting the public realm.
3.13.7 Analysis, scoping, concept designs, evidence and visualisations are provided for projects delivered within the unit including Plan Change 14, Ōtautahi Christchurch Planning Programme, Transport Strategy, City Spine, Kerrs Reach Plan Change, Diamond Harbour land use and spatial planning, South-East Central Neighbourhood Plan, and the Enliven Programme.
3.13.8 Education and advocacy occurred through staff attendance and presentations at professional institute discussions, Christchurch Conversations, and Ara and Canterbury University programmes. Support has also been provided to Honiara City Council through the MFAT funded Pacific TA programme, a local government initiative providing technical support to the South Pacific.
3.14 Projects we have input to
3.14.1 Diamond Harbour’s Hunters Road spatial plan and Outline Development Plan.
3.14.2 Akaroa’s BP Meats site evaluation of land use options.
3.14.3 New Brighton’s governance group, chaired by ChristchurchNZ, created to ensure alignment of key public and private projects in and adjacent to Brighton Mall.
3.14.4 Little River’s community-led refresh of the Little River Big Ideas community plan.
3.14.5 Gloucester Street’s Streets for People project (use of Enliven Places assets).

4.2 All levels of service are currently being met except the following three levels of service that are currently tracking just under the targets.
Building Consents Granted (processing timeframes)
4.2.1 Year to date, 90% of consents have been processed within statutory timeframes. Against the LTP target of 95% of consents granted within 19 days, the year to date result is 85%.
4.2.2 There has been a significant month on month improvement from 56% in the month of August 2023 to the current month’s result of 92%.
4.2.3 For information, the full year results for the previous three financial years were:
2023/24 |
73.0% |
2022/23 |
64.5% |
2021/22 |
42.4% |
Inspections
4.2.4 Year to date, 90% of inspections have been carried out within agreed timeframe.
4.2.5 Demand for inspection services remains high as a result of higher consenting numbers last year and through the start of this year.
4.2.6 Each day around 180 inspections are booked and undertaken (3,300 per month, 39,000 per year). Traditionally, around 30% of inspections have resulted in a failed inspection and this puts additional pressure on inspection resources. Inspections fail for a number of reasons including quality of work, not being ready for the inspection, required information not present. The team has been working with the industry to bring down this number which has resulted in a reduction to the current failure rate of around 19%.
Code Compliance
4.2.7 Year to date, 89% of code compliance certificates issued within statutory timeframes. Against the LTP target of 95% of consents granted within 19 days, the year to date result is 84%.
4.2.8 There has been an increase in the number of code compliance certificates (CCC's) issued as a result of increased consent numbers and the high volume of inspections being completed. However, there has been a significant month on month improvement from 50% in the month of August 2023 to 92% in the month of September 2024.
5. Building Warrants of Fitness
5.1 Year to date 344 building warrants of fitness have been audited. The annual target is 20% of the building stock or 1250 buildings. As such, after 3 months, this level of service is currently on track to achieve the annual target.
5.2 Operation Magazine.
5.2.1 Following the tragic event at Loafers Lodge in Wellington on 16 May 2023, the then Minister for Building and Construction directed MBIE to investigate whether there were other buildings in New Zealand with similar fire vulnerabilities.
5.2.2 Consequently, inspections were carried out across the country on properties that met a similar profile to Loafers Lodge, with the aim of identifying and addressing any immediate fire safety concerns. These inspections were also intended to guide future efforts to strengthen fire safety requirements in boarding houses.
5.2.3 In Christchurch, two buildings were identified as falling within the criteria for ‘Operation Magazine,’ which include:
· Being a boarding house
· Being three storeys or more in height
· Lacking a sprinkler system
5.2.4 Following inspections by MBIE, FENZ, and the Council, several fire safety issues were identified that required immediate attention. MBIE has continued to monitor the progress of all nine councils involved in Operation Magazine, ensuring that they followed up with building owners regarding the identified issues.
5.2.5 Christchurch City Council has successfully resolved all identified issues and recommendations.
6. Earthquake Prone Buildings
6.1 During July, August and September 2024, the Council received confirmation that 16 buildings were removed from the register, with 7 buildings being demolished, 9 buildings strengthened. No buildings were reassessed in this period.
6.2 There have been 1386 Christchurch based buildings registered on the National Earthquake Prone Building Register. 850 buildings have since been removed with 536 remaining.

9. Other items
End-to-End Customer Experience Improvement Project
9.1 This goal of this project is to review and improve the customer journey through the entire building consenting process by understanding areas of friction and identifying opportunities to make the process smoother for our customers. This initial phase involved working with customer service staff on the front-end experience and aims to improve public information on website by understanding how customers access and use this information and what does and doesn’t work for them.
9.2 A number of recommendations have been made. Many are small quick wins but should have a positive impact on the customer experience.
Government led BCA Reform
9.3 The Government has agreed to investigate significant reform of the building consent system in New Zealand. The aim is to drive consistency, certainty and efficiency and make it easier for Kiwis to build. Building consent system reform | Building Performance
9.4 The Government will be engaging with the sector over the coming months, and we look forward to collaborating with them to create and develop new innovative ideas and becoming part of the solution.
Overseas Building Products Bill
9.5 Introduced to the house in early September, the Bill introduces changes to the Building Act which will reduce barriers to using quality overseas building products in building work throughout New Zealand.
9.6 The Bill aims to increase competition and reduce the cost of building products, improve the country’s resilience to supply chain shortages and give homeowners, builders and designers more choice in products and systems already available and in use overseas.
