3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       Marine Parade is located in the New Brighton neighbourhood and runs parallel to the beach and foreshore. It is a busy location used by many people travelling to school or work, accessing the shops, beach, playground and hot pools, or moving across the community.  Whether people are travelling through this area on foot, bike, bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely and have the opportunities to choose alternative modes of transportation.

3.2       On 12 September 2022, the Waitai Costal-Burwood Community Board (Agenda Item 8) approved the Marine Parade Street renewal project from the intersection of Hawke Street to Bowhill Road, to be included in the New Brighton Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) programme. They also approved a further two projects, which would be investigated if there was remaining budget in the programme and project budget (See Attachment B).  

3.3       In May 2024, three options were presented to the public for feedback. The three options were developed closely with the Community Board through a workshop in February and a memo in April (See Attachment C and D).

3.4       The three options that were consulted on in May were;

3.4.1   Option A – Pedestrian improvements, bus stop upgrades, and kerb and channel renewal (Attachment E).

3.4.2   Option B – On-road cycle lanes, safer speed platforms, pedestrian improvements, bus stop upgrades, and kerb and channel renewal (Attachment F).

3.4.3   Do nothing option.

3.5       Council received over 1300 pieces of feedback from the local community and people visiting New Brighton for shopping, recreational purpose and events. The feedback received during consultation identified several themes:

·   Carparking: Both options A and B had changes to the number of carparks provided for users.

·   Cycle Safety: Concerns about the safety of people riding bicycles in the proposed options.

·   Cost Effectiveness: The community felt that the proposed options were not cost-effective given the improvements offered.

·   A new option that reflected community feedback: Requests for an option that does not result in a loss of any carparks.

3.6       Staff provided the Community Board with a summary of submissions (Attachment G) in July via e-mail. Following this e-mail, the Board requested that a third option be developed, which would address community feedback. This was presented to the Community Board for discussion during an Information Session/Workshop on 12 August 2024 (Agenda Item 2).

3.7       The option presented at the workshop session on 12 August, was a combined bi-directional cycleway and shared path option on the east side of Marine Parade. The proposal also incorporated all features from Option A (from the original consultation). The Board directed staff to further refine this option and undertake community consultation. The bi-directional cycleway and shared path option was subsequently prepared for consultation (Attachment H).

3.8       The feedback period for Option C was open from 9 October to 21 October. Further analysis of submissions from Stage 2 of the consultation can be found under Community Views in section 6.17.

3.9       Based on the submitter feedback during the first and second round of consultation. Staff recommend Option C to the Community Board for detailed design and construction. The cost for this option has been estimated at $5.6M and will need to be reviewed again at detailed design stage.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       The Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) is a funding package of $40 million from the Treasury for transport projects in Christchurch. The purpose of the funding is to make a difference to affected communities by improving liveability and to support their ongoing regeneration.

4.2       The CRAF investment in roading and transport improvements is to address condition, safety and access issues. It will act as a catalyst towards the development of a high-quality, safe and reliable transport network, which will improve connectivity and the customer experience across Christchurch City and will also improve safety outcomes and encourage more people to walk, bike or use public transport.

4.3       The CRAF funding includes $30 million for targeted roading and transport improvements to deliver integrated safety, modal choice and asset improvements to communities, which experienced significant damage and disruption, or increased transport demand/travel use due to a change in travel patterns following the earthquakes in five areas - New Brighton, Linwood/Woolston, Richmond, Riccarton and Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/Beckenham.

4.4       New Brighton has been allocated $6.5 million from the overall budget, with the largest portion being provided for changes to Marine Parade. At the Waitai Coastal-Burwood Community Board meeting on 12 September 2022 (Agenda Item 8), the Board resolved (Minutes, Item 8) that the upgrade of Marine Parade from Hawke Street to Bowhill Road be investigated by staff, and that a decision report with plans be brought back to the Board for approval before detailed design and construction. 

4.5       The Marine Parade Street Renewal project extends from Hawke Street in the south to Bowhill Road in the north. The original objectives for the project include:

·   Hawke Street to 187 Marine Parade – remove the existing pavement and replace with a new pavement structure to support new asphalt concrete (AC) surfacing. Assess footpath condition.

·   187 Marine Parade to Lonsdale Street – currently do nothing in this section. If there is surplus funding and agreement from the project team and Community Board, investigate removing the existing pavement and replacing with a new pavement structure to support new asphalt concrete (AC) surfacing.

·   Lonsdale Street to 142 Marine Parade – replace the kerb and dish channel with kerb and flat channel.  Assess footpath condition.

·   142 Marine Parade to Bowhill Road – a small area of new pavement near the intersection of Bowhill Road. Assess footpath condition.

·   Investigate options for cycle facility.

·   Address residents concerns around speed on Marine Parade.

·   Improve the intersection of Hawke Street and Marine Parade.

4.6       Following the resolution by the Board in September 2022, staff developed eight options, out of which three were presented to the Community Board during a briefing on 11 September 2023 (Attachment N).  At the briefing, the Board requested that staff explore options for a two-way transitional cycleway like the temporary facility installed on Park Terrace, which was constructed using bollards and road marking.

4.7       Staff completed investigations to accommodate a cycleway (a wider shared path) and all the features in Option B. The high level estimate was over the programme budget of $6.5M. This option was presented during an Information Session/Workshop on 12 February 2024 (See Attachment C).

4.8       At the briefing on 12 February 2024 (Attachment C), staff were advised by the Board to:

4.8.1   Develop two options for consultation from the three that were recommended to the Board in September 2023.

4.8.2   Include a 'do nothing' option in consultation, to allow submitters the opportunity to provide feedback on this alternative as well.

4.8.3   Undertake no further investigations into the two-way cycleway that was presented.

4.8.4   Return to the Board prior to initiating the consultation on the two options, to present the proposed methodology and tactics for consultation.

4.9       The project team prepared and presented the final designs to the Community Board on 22 April 2024 (Attachment N) and advised the Community Board that consultation would be undertaken in May. The Board requested that staff meet with the New Brighton Surf Club and Emergency Services prior to the consultation. Staff completed these meetings, and the outcomes are summarised as follows:

4.9.1   During the meeting with the Surf Club, a few requests were made, including repairing the retaining wall and extending the no-stopping lines past the second entrance of the surf club. These requests were incorporated into the plans for consultation.

4.9.2   During early engagement, Emergency Services expressed concerns about the number of speed platforms proposed in Option B, which could potentially hinder their response times to emergencies. However, they acknowledged the necessity of the speed calming measures.

4.10    Following consultation, the Board requested staff provide an option that addressed the concerns raised by submitters. The option presented was for a two-way cycleway and a shared path. This addressed many of the concerns raised by submitters and provided a balance between providing car parking and options for active travel. Consultation was then undertaken on this option.

5.1       The cost are high-level estimates and are not tendered prices. Costing will be completed at each stage of the project phase to ensure there is enough funding to cover the scope of the project.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       There is a budget risk with spending additional funding to undertake further investigations and not having enough funds for construction.

6.2       During the development of Option C, the project team identified a potential risk related to the requirement for a resource consent, should the proposed option encroach into the sand dunes where the shared path is planned. To mitigate this risk, a high-level assessment was conducted in collaboration with CCC resource planners. This assessment aimed to ensure that the current proposed work avoids triggering the need for consents, which could otherwise result in delays and significant cost increase.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.3.1   The Community Board has the delegated authority to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations.

6.4       Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5       The required decision:

6.5.1   Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework and Community Outcomes. Improving the safety of our roads aligns with the Strategic Priorities and Community Outcomes, in particular to be an inclusive and equitable city; build trust and confidence by listening to and working with our residents; and providing safe crossing points and facilities in New Brighton for people who walk and cycle will contribute to a green, liveable city, where our neighbourhoods and communities are accessible and well-connected.

6.5.2   Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and engagement policy. The level of significance was determined by completing a Significance and Engagement Assessment.

6.5.3   The recommended option is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies, in particular:

·     LTP Activity Plan - Level of Service target to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries (DSI) from all crashes by 40% in 2030.

·     The changes made align with road safety and liveable streets goals in the Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan 2012–2042, and similarly in the draft Transport Plan (safe streets).

·     The changes made align with Kia tūroa te Ao - Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy as set out in the Climate Change Impact Considerations section below.

·     Improving safety on local roads is a priority for the Council.

·     A masterplan was developed for New Brighton as part of the suburban centres programme, and private investment is delivering on redevelopment within the main central area. This would lead to an increase in the number of people wanting to walk, cycle and scoot to these developments and to cross the road to access the beach and Council facilities.

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

6.7       Transport

6.7.1   Activity: Transport

·     Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=37% of trips undertaken by non-car modes.

·     Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - <=96 crashes.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=67% resident satisfaction.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.1 Limit deaths and serious injury crashes per capita for cyclists and pedestrians - <= 12 crashes per 100,000 residents.

·     Level of Service: 10.5.42 Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes - >= 600 kilometres (total combined length).

·     Level of Service: 16.0.20 Maintain the condition of road carriageways - <=4,900 customer service requests.  

7.   Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero (Stage 1)

7.1       Staff met with emergency services, public transport services, New Brighton Surf Club and local community groups in May and June 2024 to discuss the proposed changes on Marine Parade, prior to public consultation.

7.2       Early stakeholder feedback extended the no stopping lines to the New Brighton Surf Club entrance, reduced the proposed number of speed platforms along Marine Parade and prioritised minimising car park loss.

7.3       Public consultation on two options for Marine Parade started on 31 May 2024 and ran until 1 July 2024. An email was sent to 93 key stakeholders, including emergency services, public transport services, local schools and local community groups. Community organisations and hubs, and local residents were provided with information leaflets, inviting them to learn more online. The consultation was posted on the council Facebook page as well as the Peoples Independent Republic of New Brighton, Southshore and Waimairi Beach Residents’ Association pages, inviting submissions on the Kōrero Mai | Let’s Talk webpage.

7.4       Consultation documents with an invitation to get in touch with staff was distributed to all affected properties along Marine Parade – between Hawke Street and Bowhill Road. Reachable absentee owners were also sent the same information.

7.5       Consultation documents and feedback forms were available in the New Brighton Library.

7.6       On 22 June, staff attended the New Brighton Market, setting up token boxes and collecting public sentiment on the two options. 66 people engaged with staff and expressed a preference for option A (34 people), 18 people expressed preference for option B and 14 people preferred neither option. We also heard a range of feedback which was consistent with the key themes reported in the full analysis of submissions.

7.7       A quick poll was set up on the Kōrero Mai | Let’s Talk webpage, 1269 people engaged with the poll with 537 (42%) expressing a preference for option A, 412 (33%) expressing a preference for option B and 320 (25%) expressing a preference for neither option.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

7.8       Submissions were made by 10 organisations and businesses and 330 individuals. All submissions are available on the submission tables in Attachment G.

7.9       Submitters were asked for their preference between option A, option B or neither option, they were also asked to provide written feedback on what they liked and didn’t like about each option.

7.10    Overall, 139 submitters (41%) preferred option ‘A’, 113 (34%) preferred neither option and 86 (25%) preferred option ‘B’. Two submitters didn’t provide any preference.

7.11    A full analysis of themes from the written feedback is available in Attachment J.

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero (Stage 2)

7.12    On receiving consultation feedback and hearing from community advocacy groups, the Waitai Coastal Burwood Linwood Community Board directed staff to develop a new option for Marine Parade.

7.13    Public consultation on option ‘C’ started on 9 October and ran until 21 October 2024. An email was sent to the same stakeholders as the stage 1 consultation and the 338 previous submitters. All other tactics from stage 1 were repeated, with the exception of a quick poll and being at the New Brighton Market, where information was available to the public, but staff did not attend.

7.14    Staff were approached by residents on Marine Parade during consultation who requested for the bus stop to moved further away from the driveways of 142 and 144 Marine Parade. This has been reflected in the updated plan.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

7.1       Submissions were made by 12 organisations and businesses and 301 individuals. All submissions are available on the submission tables in Attachment L. Themes are summarised in Attachment K.

7.2       Submitters were asked whether they supported option C as their preferred option, they were also asked whether they preferred chipseal or asphalt as their preferred road treatment due to the cost differences.

7.3       Overall, 227 submitters (73%) supported option C, 39 (12%) somewhat supported option C, the same amount (39, 12%) didn’t support option C and 5 (2%) didn’t know or weren’t sure. Three submitters didn’t provide any preference.

7.4       208 submitters (66%) preferred asphalt while 101 submitters (33%) preferred chipseal. Four submitters didn’t provide any preference.

7.5       A full analysis of submissions from stage 1 and 2 is available in Attachment J and K.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.6       The decision involves a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision has the potential to impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions if the project encroaches into the sand dunes.

7.7       The decision may involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and may impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

7.8       There is potential for an archaeological authority to be required due to the close proximity of the sand dunes and may involve consultation with Mana Whenua.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

7.9       The decisions in this report are likely to:

7.9.1   Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

7.9.2   Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

7.10    The proposed scheme will reduce emissions by providing a bi-directional cycleway and shared path which will give the locals the opportunity to walk or bike along the beach side of Marine Parade.

7.11    Improving the ability for people to walk, cycle, scoot and catch the bus are a key part of the Council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a safe, low emission way for residents to move around the city.

7.12    Improving safety and making Marine Parade feel safer would address some of the barriers to people making sustainable travel choices. Removing these barriers will lead to reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled and consequently emissions from transport.

8.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

8.1       If approved by the Community Board, the project will proceed into detailed design and construction.

8.2       A report providing the detailed traffic resolutions will be presented to the Community Board for approval.

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1      Engagement with the Bromley community since 2020 has established consistent issues and common themes with traffic speeds, excessive volumes of heavy vehicles as well as pedestrian safety on routes to and around Bromley School.

3.1.1   An interactive workshop session with the Community Board on 27 June 2024 indicated priorities for quick-wins that could be completed with budget available in financial year 2025.

3.1.2   Based on this, staff progressed with the scheme design for four locations:

·     Bromley Road

·     Keighleys Road

·     McGregors Road

·     Hay Street

3.2      Subsequent to the workshop, results from the citywide carriageway pavement condition survey indicated that lower Hay Street (Linwood Avenue to McGregors Road) carriageway pavement needed reconstruction before traffic calming measures could be installed, so this location was excluded.

3.3      The remaining 3 locations were consulted on in October/November 2024.

3.3.1   Staff are now seeking approval to proceed to detailed design and construction.

3.3.2   The estimate to deliver the Phase 1a Scheme is $495,000, which is within available budget.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1      Engagement with the Bromley community since 2020 has established consistent issues and common themes with traffic speeds and excessive volumes of heavy vehicles “rat-running” through local roads to the industrial area. Safety on children’s travel routes to Bromley School is also a consistent theme.

4.1.1   Investigations for scheme design during the Transport Choices programme and consultation in 2023 provided fresh traffic data and additional detail and locations of key community concerns.

4.1.2   Investigations for the draft Bromley Transport Action Plan scheme, a technical study, extended coverage of fresh traffic data across the neighbourhood.

4.2      Assessment of this feedback, plus traffic data and road user behaviour, has informed the prioritisation of treatment responses and locations.

4.2.1   This identified one hundred and twenty-one individual treatment sites, that respond to community issues and feedback, are identified in the draft Bromley Transport Action Plan.

4.2.2   For budgeting purposes, each of the sites evaluated four basic types of treatment, with each having 3 options of quality/cost.

4.2.3   Information has been incorporated into a GIS tool to identify and prioritise work in this report.

4.2.4   The tool can be easily updated as work on the improvement programme progresses and road user behaviour in the neighbourhood changes. Based on this, priorities for future phases of works may shift in response.

4.3      The draft Bromley Transport Action Plan and GIS tool were used in an interactive workshop session with the Community Board on 27 June 2024 to indicate priorities for work.

4.3.1   This also considered the draft road resurfacing and renewals programmes, in order to seek synergies between the two programmes of work.

4.3.2   The Bromley neighbourhood map has been used in workshopping priorities with the Community Board, and in discussions at a community drop-in session in October.

4.3.3   This was focused on work that could be completed within the budget available in financial year 2025.

4.3.4   Staff were given an indication of 4 specific sections of road that were the priority for the Board. These were:

·     Bromley Road

·     Keighleys Road

·     McGregors Road

·     Hay Street

4.4      Subsequent to the workshop, results from the citywide carriageway pavement condition survey indicated that lower Hay Street (Linwood Avenue to McGregors Road) carriageway pavement needed a reconstruction before traffic calming measures could be installed.

4.4.1   Costs of a reconstruction of lower Hay Street exceeded the available budget, and Hay Street traffic calming measures were deferred until budget is available, or this becomes a priority under the maintenance programme.

4.4.2   Phase 1a Scheme scope excludes lower Hays Street traffic calming intervention sites but otherwise reflects outcomes of the 27 June 2024 Community Board workshop.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.5.1   Progress Phase 1a

4.5.2   Progress Phase 1a and Phase 2

4.5.3   Do Nothing

4.6      The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.6.1   Progressing the full Phase 1 Scheme on lower Hay Street, Keighleys Road and Bromley Road.

·     Carriageway pavement condition assessments were completed across the Christchurch roading network as the Phase 1 Scheme was being prepared for consultation.

·     Results on lower Hay Street showed that the carriageway asset life was short, i.e. full depth of pavement layers were at the end of their useful life and wouldn’t support the higher dynamic vehicle loads around the speed humps.

·     Therefore, traffic calming on lower Hay Street needed to be delivered in conjunction with wider maintenance works including replacement of deep dish drainage.

4.6.2   Phase 1a Scheme (Phase 1 without lower Hay Street) plus next priorities fitting within budget.

·     Board preferences were to hold the remaining budget until the Street Renewal programme was updated, so that if Hay Street was in the renewal programme the traffic calming could still be delivered.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.7      Preferred Option 1: Progress Phase 1a to detailed design and construction.

4.7.1   Option Description: Phase 1a comprises traffic calming and safety improvements on:

·   Bromley Road

·     2 speed humps surrounding a median island and pedestrian refuge outside the community centre.

·     1 speed hump close to the intersection with Keighleys Road.

·   Keighleys Road – McGregors Road to north of Bromley Road

·     1 Crossing point, kerb cutdowns and tactiles in existing buildouts outside Bromley School.

·     2 speed humps bracketing the existing Kea Crossing.

·     2 speed humps bracketing the intersection with Korora Street.

·     1 speed hump on the approach to the intersection with McGregors Road.

·   Keighleys Road – South of Bromley Road

·     2 speed humps south of Bromley Road.

·   McGregors Rd adjacent to intersection with Keighleys Road

·     1 speed hump.

4.7.2   Option Advantages

·     The preferred option treats the highest priority sites in the Bromley transport area.

·     The interventions respond to three major community concerns: Speeding vehicles; safety for children around Bromley School; and too many heavy vehicles on Bromley Road and lower Keighleys Road.

·     Is aligned with priorities in the draft Bromley Transport Action Plan.

·     Can be delivered within the financial year 2025 available budget.

·     Can be constructed in financial year 2025 in line with the current Long Term Plan.

4.7.3   Option Disadvantages

·     This delivers quick-wins ahead of the consultation and approval of the wider draft Bromley Transport Action Plan.

·     Is not able to commit remaining available financial year 2025 budget to constructing next priorities in the draft Bromley Transport Action Plan.

·     However, this could be mitigated by progressing the draft Phase 2 Scheme which, subject to seeking and gaining Board approval in February 2025, could still be constructed in conjunction with Phase 1a.

4.8      Option 2: - Progress Phase 1a and Phase 2 to detailed design and construction.

4.8.1   Option Description: Phase 1a Scheme plus next priorities fitting within budget.

·     Phase 1a Scheme scope as detailed above

·     Plus 4 speed humps on Korora Street.

·     Plus 1 additional speed hump on McGregors Road between the Keighleys Road intersection and Hay Street.

4.8.2   Option Advantages

·     Added traffic calming on Korora which has a well-used pedestrian entrance to Bromley School and is a high priority for the Bromley School community.

·     Can be delivered within available financial year 2025 budget.

4.8.3   Option Disadvantages

·     Did not align with previous Board preference (7 October 2024) to hold the remaining budget until the Street Renewal Programme was updated. This would mean that if Hay Street was included in the street renewals programme, the traffic calming could be delivered with the street renewal.

·     Draft Phase 2 scheme has not had public consultation yet. If combined with Phase 1a at this stage it would add risk to the completion of Phase 1a in February/March 2025.

4.9      Option 3: - Do Nothing.

4.9.1   Option Description: Do nothing until the wider Bromley Transport Action Plan has been completed.

4.9.2   Option Advantages

·     This would ensure that any interventions are in line with the wider transport plan.

·     Lower cost in the short term.

4.9.3   Option Disadvantages

·     Does not align with previous Board preferences for quick wins.

·     Does not meet community feedback to implement safety interventions.

·     Delay may result in Phase 1a and/or Phase 2 costs inflating beyond the available budget.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.10    The delivery of Phase 1a and Phase 2 are aligned with resident and Community Board feedback for quick-win interventions to be installed.

4.11    Phase 2 has not yet had public consultation, so the inclusion of these at this time could delay the delivery of Phase 1a works.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1      There is a road safety risk that if this report is not approved then speeding vehicles and higher than normal volumes of heavy vehicles using the residential local roads and associated safety issues will continue.

6.2      There is a programme risk if this report is not approved, that construction cannot meet the road sealing season in March 2025.

6.3      After construction is complete there are risks associated with the continued use of the Keighleys Road -Bromley Road short cut to the industrial area by heavy vehicles.

6.3.1   Potential consequences are noise and vibration issues associated with the current relatively high volumes of heavy vehicles continuing to use the shortcut. This could be exacerbated by the vertical deflection devices.

6.3.2   Potential controls could comprise; monitoring of vehicle types, volumes and speeds, communication with affected parties, targeted communication to educate and change behaviour of inappropriate users of the residential local roads and, if needed, further physical interventions during the next Phase 2 Scheme works.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

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

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

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

6.5       Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.6       The required decisions:

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

·    By contributing to, a green, liveable city where “Our neighbourhoods and communities are accessible and well-connected, supporting our goals to reduce emissions”.

·    Nudging progress towards adaption to climate change by improving safety and access to active transport choices around Bromley School.

6.6.2   Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.

6.6.3   Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.8       Transport

6.8.1   Activity: Transport

·     Level of Service: 10.0.6.2 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - Five year rolling average <100 crashes per year.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.9       Staff met with Environment Canterbury in September 2024.

6.9.1   In general, Environment Canterbury oppose speed humps on bus routes as they say that they create passenger discomfort, impact on bus timelines, and add to the wear and tear of buses. They can also create noise issues for residents.

6.9.2   Saying this, they were okay with the plans for Bromley Road as Metro Service 155 is a relatively infrequent route (6 bus movements between 9am and 2pm on weekdays only) and the plan doesn’t include kerb buildouts that can make it difficult for buses to navigate the road.

6.9.3   Environment Canterbury suggested CCC engage with Kinetic (Go Bus), as more buses may travel along this section of road during dead running time due to its proximity to Kinetic depot at the corner of Maces Road and Ruru Road.

6.9.4   Environment Canterbury would appreciate being involved should the plan progress to detailed design and being informed of any future changes to the plans or next stages of the project.

6.10    Prior to consultation, an email was sent to the Bromley Residents Working Group and Bromley School thanking them for their work in this space to-date, explaining what’s proposed and next steps, and offering to meet.

6.11    Consultation started on 9 October and ran until 3 November 2024.

6.11.1 An email was sent to 164 identified stakeholders, including emergency services, transport interest groups, local businesses and organisations, submitters on the previous Way Safer Streets consultation, and those who had signed up to be notified about projects in this area on Kōrero mai.

6.11.2 A Newsline story was published on 10 October 2024 and shared to Council’s Facebook page.

6.11.3 A post was also made in the Bromley Community Group Facebook group, inviting submissions on the Kōrero mai webpage.

6.11.4 Consultation documents were delivered to residents living on the affected streets and absentee owners. They were also available in Bromley Community Centre, Linwood Library and Aranui Library.

6.11.5 On 21 October, a drop-in session was held at Bromley Community Centre. Eight residents attended, with two making submissions with staff at the time.

6.12    Staff met with Bromley School during the consultation period. The school were supportive of all plans that make it safer for their students and their whānau to move around the area. They requested for their kea crossing to remain at its current location.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.13    Submissions were made by Spokes, Canterbury Memorial Gardens and Crematorium and 35 individuals. All submissions are available on the Kōrero mai, Let’s talk webpage.

6.14    65% of submitters said they supported or somewhat supported the plan for Keighleys Road and Bromley Road. 30% said that they did not support the plan.

6.15    Of the individual submissions, 24 (65%) were from residents who live in Bromley. Bromley residents were slightly more likely to support the plan than the full pool of submitters (14, 58% of them support the plan, 7, 29% did not support).

6.16    When asked what submitters liked about the plan, the most common reasons given were:

·    That the plan will result in slower/safer speeds in the area (14)

·    Support for upgrades around Bromley School (8)

·    That the plan will make the area feel and/or be safer for locals (7)

·    Support for speed humps specifically (5)

6.17    When asked what submitters didn’t like about the plan, the most common reasons given were:

·    The upgrades are unneeded (5)

·    It is a waste of money (5)

6.18    Submitters were also asked for feedback on the draft Bromley Transport Action Plan, including what work should be prioritised going forward. Most feedback was one-off requests, but the feedback that could be themed was:

·    To focus on maintenance, including fixing potholes (4)

·    Fewer speed humps than the draft proposes (4)

·    Upgrades to Maces Road (3)

Supplementary information

6.19    A quick poll was conducted on the Kōrero mai webpage to reduce barriers to participate. 43 responses to this poll were received. 56% of responses strongly supported and 5% somewhat supported the plan. 33% of responses strongly opposed and 5% somewhat opposed the plan.

How do you feel about the plan for Bromley and Keighleys roads?

 

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

6.20.1    Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

6.21    The Community Board view to date, has been supportive of traffic calming interventions and pedestrian safety improvements responding to the well-known community issues identified during multiple rounds of engagement.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.22    The decisions do not have 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.

6.23    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

6.24    The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.24.1 Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.24.2 Contribute neutrally to emissions reductions.

6.24.3 The works, though small in scale, are centred around Bromley School and should encourage more use of active travel and a reduction in short car trips.

 

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1      Subject to the preferred option in this report is approved:

7.1.1   Complete detailed design.

7.1.2   Procure a construction contractor.

7.1.3   Complete construction.

7.2       Workshop next priorities in the Bromley Transport Plan with the Board, and subject to available funding, deliver the next identified priorities.

7.3       A public facing plan is being developed from all of the engagement feedback on the priorities for the Bromley area.  This will be published on the Council’s website to allow feedback to be received through the Annual Plan process is required.  It is not anticipated that there will be specific engagement on the Plan as it has been developed as a result of engagement.

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

  

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve the implementation of a stop control on Orrick Crescent at its intersection with Wainoni Road, in addition to approving the extension of No Stopping restrictions on Wainoni Road.

1.2       This report has been written in response to safety concerns that were raised by a member of the community.

1.3       The recommended option is to install a stop control and no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the Orrick Crescent and Wainoni Road - Proposed intersection improvements Report.

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

3.         Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4 to 5 below.

4.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 6 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that a Stop control be placed against Orrick Crescent at its intersection with Wainoni Road, as shown in Agenda Attachment A.

5.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northern side of Wainoni Road, commencing at a point 14 metres southwest of its intersection with Orrick Crescent and extending in a ssouth-westerly direction for a distance of 16 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

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

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       A member of the community raised safety concerns regarding the Orrick Crescent and Wainoni Road intersection due to restricted visibility caused by on-street parking close to the intersection.  Implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines at the intersection. 

3.2       The intersection of Orrick Crescent and Wainoni Road is currently controlled by a give-way control. However, investigations have determined that a stop control would be appropriate in this location. 

3.3       The recommended option is to install a stop control and no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. 

3.4       Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance.

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Orrick Crescent and Wainoni Road currently form a give-way controlled T-intersection, with priority given to Wainoni Road.

4.2       There is a dairy on the northern side of Wainoni Road near the intersection, which can increase parking demands in this location at times.

4.3       There are two 5-minute parking spaces directly outside the dairy.

4.4       Parked vehicles on Wainoni Road and physical obstructions on private property at the corner reduce visibility for people exiting Orrick Crescent at this intersection. A stop control and the extension of No Stopping restrictions is therefore warranted.

4.5       Waka Kotahi crash data shows there has been two crashes in this location within the past ten years. Neither were related to the layout of the intersection.

4.6       If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

11.   Breezes Road - Proposed Removal of No Stopping Restrictions

Reference Te Tohutoro:

24/1701592

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:

Courtney Fale, Traffic Engineer

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

  

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve the removal of No Stopping restrictions on Breezes Road.

1.2       This report has been written following three separate customer requests to remove broken yellow lines outside the entrance of the site where Aranui Primary School was previously located (the school permanently closed in December 2016).

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the Breezes Road - Proposed Removal of No Stopping Restrictions Report.

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

3.         Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4 to 5 below.

4.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be allowed at any time on the northern side of Breezes Road, commencing at a point 180 metres northwest of its intersection with Pages Road and extending in a north westerly direction for a distance of 29 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

5.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be allowed at any time on the southern side of Breezes Road, commencing at a point 134 metres northwest of its intersection with Pages Road and extending in a north westerly direction for a distance of 73 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

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

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       The recommended option is to remove lengths of No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

3.2       Due to the closure of Aranui Primary School and impending change of land use to residential, the parking demands on Breezes Road are expected to change. Due to a change in parking profiles and the school no longer being present, staff consider that the No Stopping lines are no longer required. 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Following the closure of Aranui Primary school, on Breezes Road, a residential development is being constructed on this site. The No Stopping lines referred to in this report were installed near the school’s main vehicle crossing. However, for the following reasons, staff consider the No Stopping lines are no longer required:

4.1.1   Change of land use to residential will result in a different parking profile to a school.

4.1.2   Associated decrease in short-term parking demand as the school is no longer operational.

4.1.3   A reduction in the number of children walking, cycling and scooting in the area and therefore a change in the level of risk.

4.2       In addition, feedback has been received from residents and local businesses that parking demand has increased since the relocation of the Department of Corrections Offices to the nearby corner of Breezes and Pages Roads. New residential development has the potential to increase parking demand further.

4.3       If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

6.3.3   The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.

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

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

6.6       Transport

Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

  

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       For the Waitiai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve No Stopping Restrictions on Netley Place.

1.2       This report has been written in response to a request by a resident who has raised safety concerns regarding the level of on-street parking resulting in limited accessibility to Netley Place.

1.3       The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the Netley Place - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.

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

3.         Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4 – 6 below.

4.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Netley Place, commencing at a point 5 metres southeast of its intersection with Corhampton Street and extending in a south easterly direction for a distance of 18 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

5.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Netley Place, commencing at a point 35 metres southeast of its intersection with Corhampton Street and extending in a south easterly direction for a distance of 3 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

6.         Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the northern side of Netley Place, commencing at a point 33 metres southeast of its intersection with Corhampton Street, extending in a south easterly direction and following the general road alignment for a distance of 44 metres, as detailed in Agenda Attachment A.

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

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

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

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

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Netley Place is approximately six metres wide. When vehicles are parked on both sides, there is only a narrow lane for cars to move through and would likely restrict access for larger vehicles.  

4.2       Netley Place is a local street providing access to nine residential properties. The majority of properties have the option of off-street parking however it is likely there is an overflow of residential and/or visitor parking onto the quiet cul-de-sac.

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

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

4.5       If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6       Preferred Option: Recommended Option

4.6.1   Option Description: Install no stopping restrictions on Netley Place.

4.6.2   Option Advantages

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       A report (Attachment A) on this matter was taken to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board on 8 April 2024, seeking approval to enter into leases with immediate neighbours along Rockinghorse Road, in order to reduce maintenance costs and improve the appearance of the numerous redundant right-of-way’s in the area.

3.2       The Community Board approved this proposal, and the Property team entered into discussions with the immediate neighbours, and have signed a number of leases. 

3.3       Subsequently, the legal team have identified that the delegation for these leases sits with Council, not Community Board.  This means that a Part A report will be required.

15.       Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road marking that evidence the restrictions described in 3 to 13 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       This portion of the City to Sea Pathway crosses Avondale Road.  There are currently no dedicated crossing facilities in place, which leads to safety hazards for users – including those currently using stopped roads in the area.  The expected increase in use of the Pathway following construction will likely exacerbate this issue.

3.2       The proposed crossing is an interim facility due to Three Waters plans to construct the long-term stopbanks in this area in around 5 years. A permanent signalised crossing is planned as part of these works.

3.3       A design has been prepared which aims to improve safety at the crossing point.  This has been consulted with the community, receiving generally favourable feedback as detailed in Section 6 of this report. 

3.4       The proposal is described in Section 4, and the plan is included as Attachment A.

3.5       In order to enact the proposal, Community Board and Council approval is required.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       The City to Sea Pathway is a core element of the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan and has been funded by central government via the Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF).  Its implementation was approved via Council Resolution CNCL/2021/00160 (Implementing the City to Sea Pathway – Key Decisions 12 October 2021).

4.2       Avondale Road 
Crossing
Due to its length, delivery of the Pathway has been split into three sections. The decisions in this report relate to the road crossing associated with the eastern section, shown in Figure 1 below.  This section runs from Porrit Park to Wainoni Road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Figure 1. City to Sea Pathway – Eastern Portion

 

4.3          A Safe System assessment has been completed for the proposed crossing.

 

4.4          Traffic Information relating to the Avondale Road dual pedestrian/cycle crossing is as below.

4.4.1   Avondale Road is a collector road carrying approximately 8000 vehicles per day (5% heavy vehicles). The posted speed is 50km/h, and the 85th percentile speed is 56.9 Km/h.

4.4.2   Between 2014 and 2023 three crashes were recorded on Avondale Road within 50 metres of the proposed crossing.  All three crashes were non-injury crashes involving vehicles.  There were no reported pedestrian or cyclist crashes near the proposed crossing.

 

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.5       The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed below:

4.5.1   Preferred: Adopt the road crossing at Avondale Road as per Attachment A.

4.5.2   Construct a raised crossing at Avondale Road.

4.5.3   Maintain status quo, without crossing facilities.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6       Preferred Option: Adopt the road crossing at Avondale Road as per Attachment A.

4.6.1   Option Description: Flush road crossing at Avondale Road, with speed humps north and south of the crossing to regulate traffic speeds.

4.6.2   Option Advantages

·     Provides a safe crossing point for users of the City to Sea Pathway.

·     Reduced cost compared to raised crossing, noting that it is an interim facility.

4.6.3   Option Disadvantages

·     Relies on proposed speed humps to reduce the speed of approaching vehicles at the crossing.

·     Slightly less comfortable for users of the Pathway due to the level changes.

·     Loss of parking near the crossing (common to any crossing intervention).

4.7       Option Description: Construct a raised crossing at Avondale Road

4.7.1   Option Advantages

·     Provides the safest and most comfortable crossing facility for users of the City to Sea Pathway.

4.7.2   Option Disadvantages

·     Significantly more expensive than the preferred option due to the need to install new catchpits and pipework to deal with stormwater.  Given the temporary nature of the facility, this is not an efficient use of funding and would likely be viewed as ‘gold plating’.

4.8       Option Description: City to Sea Pathway constructed to the edge of the road reserve only, existing road corridor remains as is.

4.8.1   Option Advantages

·     Avoids physical works costs.

4.8.2   Option Disadvantages

·     The lack of a safe crossing point would be confusing for users, and we could expect queries as to why it was omitted, particularly given that the western portion received crossings.

·     Safety issues with the current uncontrolled crossing would persist, resulting in increased likelihood of injury as usage of the Pathway increases.

5.1       The permanent solution of a signalised crossing will be paid for by the red zone parks team out of the City to Sea Budget (WBS 562/04226). This will be delivered in parallel to the installation of the Three Waters stop bank.  Removals of this temporary layout will largely be paid by Three Waters as part of the stop bank installation, however, red zone will pay for the removal of the speed humps.

5.2       The works form part of the City to Sea Pathway project, which has been funded by central government, via the Christchurch Recovery Acceleration Facility (CRAF).

5.3       Around 15% of the above costs relate to traffic management.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       The Pathway is intended to provide a route for active users, and the route should be safe for use.  The crossings have been designed to mitigate injury risk.  The Safe System assessment concluded that if the design as proposed is not accepted, then then the risk to users is increased.

6.2       There are no further risk and mitigation considerations.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

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

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

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

6.4       Other Legal Implications:

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

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

 

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5       The required decisions in this report:

6.5.1   Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework, particularly:

A green, liveable city

·   Our neighbourhoods and communities are accessible and well-connected, supporting our goals to reduce emissions, build climate resilience and protect and regenerate the environment, especially our biodiversity, waterbodies and tree canopy.

6.5.2   Are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.

6.5.3   Are generally consistent with the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan, in that they support the City to Sea Pathway. 

6.5.4   Are assessed as low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.  The level of significance was determined by the localised area of the project, and number of people affected by the recommended decision.

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

6.7       Transport

6.7.1   Activity: Transport

·     Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=37% of trips undertaken by non-car modes  

6.8       Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.8.1   Activity: Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor

·     Level of Service: 6.8.12.1 Implementation of the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan (Green Spine). Council-led capital investment:  Progress integrated Green Spine programme (Parks, Water and Transport) as per the Implementation Plan. Target: 90 % of approved work programmes delivered in the year funded.

 

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.9       Public consultation started on 23 October 2024 and ran until 3 November 2024.  An email was sent to 290 key stakeholders, including emergency services and previous submitters on the City to Sea Pathway project. Signage was installed directing passersby to the Korero Mai Let’s talk page by QR code.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.10    Submissions were made by Spokes, Canterbury/West Coast Automobile Association District Council, and 31 individuals.  All submissions are available at Korero Mai Let’s talk.

6.11    The Canterbury/West Coast Automobile Association District Council prefers a temporary overhead bridge for cyclists and pedestrians as opposed to the proposed plan.  This would be orders of magnitude more expensive and is not recommended for a temporary facility.

6.12    Spokes were generally in support of the plan, supporting the pedestrian crossing, noting the priority for pedestrians and cyclists, paint and speed humps. However, they would like to see additional pedestrian pavers, and speed monitoring and enforcement over the first three months of opening the crossing.

6.13    Submitters were asked how safe they currently feel at Avondale Road, if they felt there was anything we should know before a decision was made on the plan, and how they travel though the area.

6.14    Half of all submitters feel either unsafe (11) or very unsafe (5) as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2: Responses to safety question

6.15    As shown in Figure 3, 22 of the submitters mostly travel via bicycle on Avondale Road. Of these, around half said that they felt unsafe (8) or very unsafe (3). Those who travel via car or scooter were more split in their safety rating.

Figure 3: Responses to mode of transport question

 

6.16    When asked whether there was anything decision makers needed to know prior to making a decision, the key themes were:  

 

General positive sentiment / support for plan 

15 

Speed humps 

Paint (green / red) 

Dual crossing 

Looking forward to pathway being finished 

Difficult to cross at present / crossing point currently unsafe 

Would like raised crossing 

Wider (crossing / footpath) 

Additional tactile pavers 

Concerns for visually impaired users 

Speed humps 

Money better spent elsewhere   

 

6.17    Some submitters (4) also mentioned ‘flashing lights’ which were incorrectly included in the plan originally published on Korero mai Let’s Talk page.  Flashing belisha beacons are no longer recommended by the Transport team, and this crossing will feature reflective discs, in line with other crossings around the city. 

Supplementary information 

6.18    A quick poll was conducted on the Korero Mai webpage to reduce barriers to participate.  We received 27 contributions made up of 5 star (19, 70.4%), 4 Star (4, 14.8%), 2 Star (1, 3.7%), and 1 Star ratings (3, 11.1%). This is shown in Figure 4.

Description automatically generated with medium confidence

Figure 4: Responses to the quick poll question

6.19    As a result of the submissions, no changes were made to the design.

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

6.20.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.22        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.

6.23        While the Corridor overall is of high value and interest to mana whenua (and is the subject of co-governance arrangements), the primary focus for mana whenua has consistently been its return to a functioning delta ecosystem where mahinga kai can once more be gathered and processed.  Road crossing points are of minor interest only in this outcome.  The Co-governance committee have been briefed on the project as it has developed.

 

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.24        The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.24.1          Not affect adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.24.2          Contribute positively to emissions reductions, by providing safer active transport options for local communities.

6.25        While the crossing is not likely to have a significant impact on adaptation planning, it will encourage use of non-motorised transport options, reducing emissions.  Although not strictly a commuting route, the Pathway is likely to be used for this purpose by residents, as well as for short trips to local facilities and shops.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       If approved by both Community Board and Council, this work will proceed as part of the City to Sea East construction contract.  This work is on programme to be completed by late 2025.

Christchurch’s OARC will be used for events this summer, as demand for large outdoor event space in the city continues to grow.

 

An area of the OARC, to be referred to as Sector 7, between Locksley Avenue and New Brighton Road (where a number of community events have been held), has been identified as a suitable location for events for approximately 5000 people.

With Hagley Park at capacity, events will be held at the Sector 7 site this summer as part of a trial to see if the space is suitable for use over the next few years. 

 

The City to Sea pathway project is progressing well.  Phase one of the work is under construction from Fitzgerald Avenue to the Snell Place Bridge at Avon Park.

 

New traffic lights will be installed on Stanmore Road in the coming weeks.

Work is continuing on garden bed preparation; planting will continue next Autumn when the weather has cooled.

Asphalt has been laid on the pathway from Fitzgerald Avenue to Swanns Road, and from Medway Bridge to Snell’s Bridge.

 

Pedestrian crossings are being installed on Stanmore, Swanns and Gayhurst Roads.

 

Construction on the path from Swanns Road to Medway Street and construction of the retaining wall at Snell’s Bridge will begin in late November.

 

Avon Park upper terrace upgraded recreational facilities are almost complete, the new facilities include a nature-based play space, pump track, exploratory trails, a basketball court, mini football field, and a barbecue area.

Woolston Gala

Through the process of planning and delivering the Gala over the last 8 weeks staff have had lots more opportunity to meet with the local groups and agencies regularly and through encouraging businesses, kura and organisations to be part of the Gala, made valuable new connections within the community.

 

The event planning group have now collated a database of these groups, institutions, businesses and other key stakeholders which is already helping the organisations involved in planning the Gala to enhance their own organisations events. This database of contacts will help support relationships and collaborations going forward.

3.2       Community Funding Summary

3.2.1   For the Board’s Information, a summary is provided (refer Attachment A) on the status of the Board’s 2024-25 funding as at 20 November 2024.

3.2.2   Woolston Gala

The Woolston Gala was held on Saturday 9 November at Woolston Park. The event was made possible with 3 years’ worth of funding from the Community Board's Better Off Fund which has enabled the Waitai Community Governance Team to bring the Woolson Gala back to life, after several years of having no event for the suburb.

The Gala was about celebrating and highlighting all the positive things in Woolston, promoting the local businesses, schools, community groups and other services that reside in the area. It also aims to start to change the often negative narrative on the issues in Woolston and rather focus on celebrating all the good things happening in the area.

Around 1,000 people came out to enjoy the range of free activities on offer, live entertainment and a variety of market and kai stalls. The highlights included Woolston Brass, who brought along two of their concert bands to entertain the crowds and three stalls from the newly established Nui Pasifika Night Market. The Linwood Ward Elected Members also ran a 'What I love about Woolston' stall which received over 50 entries into a prize draw, and gave a valuable insights into what residents enjoy about living in Woolston.

·     Te Whare Taonga o Ngā Iwi Katoa – round up of events

It has been a huge couple of months for Te Whare Tonga o Ngā Iwi Katoa who have just completed their refurbishment and not even a week later launched into a series of events.  On Monday 4 November, their staff put on a morning tea to celebrate the re-opening of the centre with its new look refurbished and remodelled rooms, including a new awning creating a covered space for the Community Shed Members to work outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wednesday 6 November was the official launch of the Pasifika garden project at the Linwood Resource Centre (LRC). Staff have been working with Local Matua from a number of Pasific Health Providers alongside students from Te Huarahi Linwood Avenue School in preparing seedlings and a series of workshops with the LRC garden coordinator on the basics of Gardening in the leadup to the launch. The garden beds were blessed followed by a Pasific performance from the students and shared Kai to close the event.

This then led into an opportunity for taro and other vegetables to be planted in preparation for the community feast which will close off the project in mid-2025. Next the students and the Matua will continue to look after the gardens and will begin working on creating Pasifica inspired artwork to decorate the garden area as well as take part in podcasting of the traditional stories and the journeys of the Matua that can be saved and archived ensuring that these experiences are not lost to time.


 

 

 

 

 

 

They finished off with the Linwood Community Gardens’ Annual Plant sale on Saturday 9 November, their big fundraiser for the year. The event gave an opportunity to show off their fresh new carpark, which was renewed as part of the refurbishment. On sale were flowers, succulents, herbs, vegetables and seeds.  The range on offer featured a forest of tomato plants and selection of squash, pumpkins and herbs donated by New Brighton Community Gardens, a testament to the great collaborations and relationships with other māra kai in the Waitai area. The sale was a big success with a busy morning seeing a huge turnout from the community and almost selling out before lunchtime.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

·     New Mural at Te Pou Toetoe Linwood Pool

This is a final update on the new mural commissioned for Te Pou Toetoe Linwood Pool.

 

Background:

$7,000 was granted by the previous Waikura Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board to fund a new mural at Te Pou Toetoe. The new mural brief sought connections be made to the old Woolston Pool mural – it’s flora, fauna and community participation – as a way of uniting two communities at this new site, and to engage students from Te Aratai College in the process.

 

Project completion:

The new mural at Te Pou Toetoe is complete. Artist, Nick Lowry, six students from Te Aratai College and teacher Ali Nightingale, installed (painted) the artwork over three days (Tuesday 29 – Thursday 31 October 2024). During this process, the students learnt new painting and installation techniques, as well as how to scale up ideas from page to wall, and how to work collaboratively.

 

Te Pou Toetoe staff were warm and welcoming of the students and the new artwork. The students had access to the staff room, were offered free pool passes, and lunch was provided each day. Members of the public regularly stopped and had positive discussions with the students and artist about the new work. And the completed mural was shared on the Council’s Facebook page, and received really positive feedback from the wider community: https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=982017057296487&id=100064646051535

 

Final steps:

A greeting card for the students and HOD of Art at Te Aratai College Emily Whiteman has been sent to the Community Board to sign. It is important to acknowledge Emily’s work – she has been essential to the success and completion of this project, and it is fitting to thank her for her mahi.

 

Arts Advisor, Olivia Webb, is working with Nick to organise an artwork didactic/short explanation panel to accompany the new mural. This will be an engraved small metal plate with details about the project, its history and connection with Woolston Pool, and will include the names of the students who contributed to this new mural. It will also acknowledge the Community Board.

·     Civil Defence Emergency Management and Disabled Persons Assembly Workshop

Community Resilience Coordinators (CRCs) from CCC Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) are in collaboration with the Disabled Persons Assembly NZ (DPA) to deliver public workshops to the disabled community across Christchurch City.

 

The third workshop for 2024 is planned on 12 December from 1pm to 3pm at the North New Brighton Community Centre (93 Marine Parade, North New Brighton).

 

This workshop will involve participants learning about the CDEM structure in New Zealand, the hazards which particularly pertain to their circumstances, and how to prepare for them.

 

The previous two workshops have been highly successful by stimulating conversations (with both members of the public and service facilitators), which have resulted in a better prepared disabled community and increased awareness of the disabled community amongst Emergency Management Officers (EMOs) in Christchurch City.

 

DPA wish to continue these workshops in partnership with CDEM across Canterbury, and we are proud of the initial effort being right here in Christchurch City.
