CONFIRMED THIS 13TH DAY OF FEBRUARY 2025
Marie Pollisco
Chairperson
1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to change the classification of Chokebore Reserve from Local Purpose (Community) Reserve to Historic Reserve.
1.2 This change will allow the building to be occupied by a residential tenancy or other tenancy sympathetic to the heritage status of the Chokebore Lodge. This is not permitted under the current classification.
1.3 This report was requested by the Parks Unit to permit residential occupation of the building, once the extensive renovations to the property have been completed. The building was previously occupied for residential use however this is outside what is permitted under the current Local Purpose (Community) Reserve classification.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Receives the information in the 148 Racecourse Road - Chokebore Lodge - Change from Local Purpose (Community) Reserve to Historic Reserve Report and notes that Chokebore Lodge is registered as a Category 1 Historic Place and is sited on Local Purpose (Community) Reserve. The current classification restricts the use of the reserve and reclassification of the reserve to an Historic Reserve would allow the property to be used for activities that respect and are sympathetic to its heritage nature.
2. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3. Pursuant to Section 24 (1)(b) of the Reserves Act 1977, under delegated authority from the Christchurch City Council, as administering body determines that the classification of that area of reserve described in Schedule A below be changed from Local Purpose (Community) Reserve to Historic Reserve.
Schedule A
· Area - 1314m2 approximately
· Description - Lot 30 Deposited Plan 49665 in Title CB28F/1281, known as Chokebore Reserve
4. Recommends that the Chief Executive exercise the discretion of the Minister of Conservation under Section 24 Reserves Act 1977 (power delegated to the Chief Executive) to change the classification of Lot 30 Deposited Plan 49665 in Title CB28F/1281 (Chokebore Reserve) from Local Purpose (Community) Reserve to Historic by notice in the Gazette.
3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 Chokebore Lodge is registered as a Category 1 Historic Place built in the mid 1850’s with cob wall (earth) construction in part and various extensions over the following 60 years. The building was damaged in the 2010/2011 earthquakes and had further dampness/maintenance issues making the building uninhabitable and compromising the original cob wall construction.
3.2 In 2019, work commenced to upgrade and strengthen the building and conserve the original cob wall construction and other heritage features. Works were delayed due to weather and Covid and subsequent supply issues but are expected to be finished by the end of 2024.
3.3 The building will be available for occupation, with the preference for a residential tenancy, to continue the original purpose of the property as a residential home. Under the current classification of Local Purpose (Community) Reserve, a residential tenancy is not permitted.
3.4 The historic reserve classification will allow a residential tenancy subject to section 58 and 58(a) of the Reserves Act 1977. This classification will also broaden potential use of the building to commercial activities that respect and are sympathetic to the heritage nature of the property, should a suitable residential use not be successful.
3.5 The current classification is too restrictive on what the property can be used for which is a community building, kindergarten, playcentre, plunket, or other similar purposes. Most of these uses would not be appropriate for this property.
3.6 Decisions for approval are sought from the Community Board to proceed and complete the necessary process to achieve this reclassification under the Reserves Act 1977 subject to Minister of Conservation approval which has been delegated to the Christchurch City Council and sub delegated to the Chief Executive.
3.7 Plans are in attachment A showing the internal layout of the property for residential purposes.
Photos taken November 2019 - Boarded windows and disrepair.
Photos taken December 2024 - renovations almost completed.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 Chokebore Lodge is registered as a Category 1 Historic Place and was built in the 1850’s with extensions over the following 60 years.
4.2 The building was damaged during the 2010/2011 earthquakes and suffered other dampness issues compromising part of the cob wall construction and other historical features. The property remained empty and boarded up for many years until a decision to strengthen and renovate the property was approved.
4.3 The building has now had extensive renovations to allow the building to be occupied again as a possible residential tenancy but keeping original heritage features. The current reserve classification being Local Purpose (Community) Reserve does not allow a residential tenancy.
4.4 The proposal is to change the reserve classification to Historic Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977.This will allow the building to be leased for a residential tenancy or other possible commercial use sympathetic to the historical nature of the property.
4.5 The process to change the classification requires approval of the Council (delegated to Community Boards) and Minister of Conservation (delegated to the Council Chief Executive) under the Reserves Act 1977.
Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.6 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:
4.6.1 Option 1 Change the classification of the land from Local Purpose (Community) Reserve to Historic Reserve therefore allowing the opportunity to lease for residential use.

· There are no disadvantages.
4.9 Option 2
4.10 Option Description: Maintain the existing Local Purpose (Community)Reserve classification.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
6.1 There are no significant risks identified with this process and implementation.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
6.2.1 The Council has delegated its powers to undertake the Reserves Act reclassification approval to proceed to the Community Boards.
6.2.2 If a decision is made to proceed, an application to Minister of Conservation (decision delegated to the Council Chief Executive) will be sought for their approval of the proposed new classification.
6.3 Other Legal Implications:
6.3.1 The proposed reserve classification change are legal processes under Section 24 of the Reserves Act 1977.
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. The decision allows a wider use for the property including residential use and will ensure the heritage value of the building is preserved.
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 comparison of the current reserve status and the proposed change to parties having no negative impact. The building use will be less restrictive and more in keeping with the heritage reserve status.
6.4.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment
6.6.1 Activity: Parks Heritage Management
· Level of Service: 6.9.1.2 Maintain Parks scheduled heritage buildings - 90% of scheduled maintenance completed according to planned programme - 65% of scheduled heritage buildings that are open or occupied are maintained at condition level 1 or 2.
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.7 A public notice was issued identifying the land and reason for reclassification on 23 November 2024. This provided one month for submissions, and none were received.
6.8 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
6.8.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
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.
The use of the property has not changed however the reclassification within a reserve status to Heritage Reserve legitimises the future use as a residential tenancy and maintains part of Christchurch heritage.
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 property was a residential home, and it is proposed to continue as a residential
property.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
7.1 The Property Consultancy team will obtain Minister of Conservation approval (delegated to the Council Chief Executive) and then complete the process for reclassification through LINZ.

3.2 The play space is being renewed ‘like-for-like’, meaning a similar number of play elements will be maintained, whilst also taking into account feedback from community consultation. The design will ensure that today’s NZ Play Safety Standards are being met as well as taking into consideration any basic updates to the level of services:
· An accessible picnic table is being included as a standard in playground renewals and developments, providing families with a safe space to gather and share kai
· An increased number of play elements have been added for younger users, as these were identified as some of the primary users
· The play space incorporates an inclusive basket swing, which is an all-age all ability swing. It is suitable for children with mental and physical restrictions as it supports their whole-body weight. It provides a good option for preschoolers and creates a ‘hang out space’ for teenagers
· The play space upgrade has also included some additional planting to add textural points of difference and form a barrier from the road. Specimen trees will be included in the northern garden bed and next to the picnic bench to create shade in future years.
3.3 The concept design does not show its inclusion, but a post and chain fence will be added in the front of the Reserve to form an additional barrier from the road and improve safety.
3.4 The play space includes a play tower with climbing and sliding elements. This style of tower is not present anywhere else in the city, providing some variety across our play network. The tower incorporates imaginative play elements at ground level for very young children, a solid platform and slide at the lower level, suitable for pre-schoolers and a challenge element for older children in the upper level.
3.5 Currently, each play item is standalone in terms of its location. To maximise play benefits while the managing costs of safety surfacing, play items are now grouped together.
3.6 The Christchurch District Plan requires play equipment and structures to be placed a minimum of 10m from a residential boundary fence and 5m from a road boundary, however, this is not achievable in this Reserve. The front half of the Reserve is classified as a ‘paper road’ and Parks have been granted permission by the Transport unit to proceed with a renewal in that area, removing the setback requirements as a result. Therefore, the play space is proposed to be installed at the front of the Reserve, leaving a passive recreation space at the back. To enhance safety and increase the barriers between the Reserve and the road a chain fence, bollards and planting, have been added.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 Consultation was undertaken in October 2024 via email, letter box drops and signage. The stakeholder groups included local primary schools, pre-schools and neighbours.
4.2 Only five responses were received, please see results in Attachment B. The primary user group identified were pre-schoolers and primary aged children.
4.3 A picnic table was the most mentioned feature, other play features that received positive feedback were sliding, swinging and climbing. Hence the inclusion of a play tower with climbing and sliding elements and a separate swing set.
4.4 The engagement letter suggested the inclusion of a scooter track and soccer posts. No comments were made regarding the soccer posts, so this was not included. A scooter track was considered but due to the very limited space available, and the desire to include a sizeable play tower, the scooter track could not be accommodated.
4.5 A rubbish bin was requested by one respondent; however, due to the reserves small size and lower frequency, the inclusion of a new litter bin is not included in the design.
4.6 A 1.9-meter gap has been left to accommodate access for mowers into the Reserve.
4.7 The following related memos/information were circulated to the meeting members:

4.8.2 The Community Board does not approve the concept plans and requests that staff consider alternative designs and re-consult with the community.
4.8.3 Remove play equipment from the Reserve and do not replace.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
4.9 Preferred Option: The Community Board adopt the proposed concept plan for the play space renewal at Moffett Reserve, allowing construction to begin in April 2025.
4.9.1 Option Advantages
· The community will receive a safe play space that offers increased play value, more age-appropriate equipment, and improved accessibility, delivered within this financial year.

4.10 Option 2: The Community Board does not approve the concept plans and requests that staff consider alternative designs and re-consults with the community.
4.10.1 Option Advantages
· The Community Board has the opportunity to offer alternative suggestion to the proposed concept plan.
4.10.2 Option Disadvantages
· This option would impact the allocated budget as the new playground design and engagement costs would be funded from within the current budget. It is likely that this would impact the type of equipment we would be able to include in a revised plan.
· Dissatisfaction of the local community due to the delay.
4.11 Option 3: Remove play equipment from the Reserve and do not replace.
4.11.1 Option Advantages
· This would provide Council with a saving in capital and operating expenditure.
4.11.2 Option Disadvantages
· The play equipment would be removed from Moffett Reserve at the end of its life span resulting in no Council play provision in this area.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
6.1 If the decision is made to revise the concept plan and complete an amended design, another round of consultation will be required. This may pose a reputational risk if Council staff are unable to meet the proposed deadlines.
6.2 The risk of reduced privacy to immediate neighbours has been considered. The neighbours on both sides of the proposed play space have been contacted and informed of the concept plan via email. No response has been received from the neighbour on the eastern side, the neighbour on the western side, closest to the tower doesn’t object to the concept plan.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.3 As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register, 9 August 2024, the Community Board has the delegation to;
6.3.1 Approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration or addition to, any structure or area on parks and reserves provided the matter is within the policy and budget set by the Council. (Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards – Pg 96)
6.4 Other Legal Implications: There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to these decisions.
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 that our residents have the opportunity to actively participate in community and city life, have a strong sense of belonging and identity, and feel safe.
6.4.1 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 decision impacting on a low number of residents and a small change to the Reserve.
6.5.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies: Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002
6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment
6.6.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore
· Level of Service: 6.3.5 Customer satisfaction with the recreational opportunities and ecological experiences provided by the City’s Regional Parks - >=80%
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.7 FY 25 play space renewal projects in the Waipuna Board area were discussed with a member of the Treaty Relations Team, it was felt no involvement with Mana Whenua was required.
6.8 Additional measures have been taken to discuss the play space renewal with immediate neighbours as neither provided feedback through the consultation process.
6.9 All respondents will be informed of the concept plan once Board approval has been received. Those who requested the scooter track and rubbish bin will be informed why this request cannot be met.
6.10 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
6.10.1 The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Board
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.11 This 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.
6.12 This 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
6.13 The decision in this report is likely to contribute positively to emissions reductions, in that local residents will have access to a play facility within walking distance and therefore may choose not to drive to other playgrounds.
6.14 Where possible existing unsuitable soft fall (bark) will be reused as mulch in the garden beds.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
7.1 If the Board approves the proposed concept plans for Moffett Reserve, the contracts for delivery can be awarded and construction can begin in April 2025.
7.2 Based on these decisions, the Parks Unit hope to complete construction and re-open the new play spaces by mid-May 2025, avoiding winter construction.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 Currently, the parking spaces on the south western section of The Runway are partially unrestricted. Business owners have raised concerns relating to drivers parking their vehicles for long periods of time along The Runway adjacent to the main shops, which is affecting access to their business.
3.2 The recommended No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A is to ensure parking does not occur at the pedestrian crossing points and narrow locations on The Runway.
3.3 The recommendations for short stay parking restrictions in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through providing short stay parking to improve opportunities for customers to access local businesses and support economic activitiy.
3.4 These measures have been requested to:
3.4.1 Increase opportunities for short stay parking for customers and couriers.
3.4.2 Increase turnover of parking spaces throughout the day.
3.4.3 Provide time restrictions that are relevant for the local businesses.
3.4.4 Ensure parking does not occur at the pedestrian crossing points and narrow locations on The Runway.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 The Runway is a two way local street, with a posted speed limit of 30km/h.
4.2 There are five existing P60 parking restrictions on the north-eastern side of The Runway, and three P10 and two P10 Loading Zone Goods Vehicles Only parking restrictions on the south-eastern side of The Runway.
4.3 A request to investigate the possibility of introducing time restricted parking on the south-western section of The Runway to increase parking turnover and deter all day parking was received.
4.4 The central section of The Runway includes cafes, restaurants, takeaway shops, a bar clothing stores and a hairdressers. Staff visited the site and spoke with most of the business owners directly. All agreed with the problem of all-day parking and considered that introducing time restrictions would be beneficial.
4.5 Consequently, staff drafted a proposal that included P10 and P30 restrictions on each sides (equivalent of five spaces each) respectively, which was used for consultation purposes.
4.6 There are high parking demands in the area due to businesses and shops.
4.7 Staff proposed no stopping restrictions along the pedestrian crossing locations as complaints were received that courier drivers park in this area restricting pedestrian to cross the road.
4.8 If approved, the recommendations will be implemented within the current financial year (generally around four weeks after the contractor receives the request, but this is subject to other factors such as resourcing and prioritisation beyond Council’s control).
Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

1.1 For the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve No Stopping Restrictions at the Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street intersection.
1.2 This report has been written in response to a request by a resident who has raised safety concerns regarding on-street parking, especially with the University of Canterbury and College of English nearby, obstructing visibility and accessibility at the intersection of Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street. The proposed No Stopping Restrictions at the intersection of Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street would alleviate the issue above.
1.3 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions and parking markings in accordance with Attachment A.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:
1. Receives the information in the Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street Intersection - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.
2. Notes that the decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 Safety concerns have been raised around the level of on-street parking, resulting in limited street accessibility and visibility on exiting the street. 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, as well as improving visibility at the intersection.
3.2 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions and parking lines 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 and improve visibility at the intersection. The proposed parking lines are consistent with the nearby parking marking and would improve the parking arrangement, especially outside No.6 Maydell Street.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 There are high parking demands in the area due to with the University of Canterbury and College of English nearby. Visibility and accessibility can be limited by vehicles parking close to the intersection of Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street.
4.2 Both Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street have a road width of approximately nine metres. When vehicles are parked on both sides close to the intersection, there is only a narrow space for cars to move through, and this would likely restrict access for larger vehicles.
4.3 Both Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street are local streets providing access to 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 these streets.
4.4 There have been no crashes recorded at the Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street intersection within the last ten years. The intersection is classified as low risk for both personal and collective risks under Council’s risk mapping system. 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 of the street could create an inconvenience and/or fully restrict larger vehicles or cars towing trailers due to the road width.
4.5 Currently, Lynfield Avenue and Maydell Street form an uncontrolled T-intersection, with priority given to Lynfield Avenue.
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).

3.3.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan [for items not included in the above table but are included in Community Board Plan]
· Riccarton Sports Festival
Local clubs came together to run a successful sports programme on 21-22 January.
Over 70 children participated in the festival which ran from 9am – 3pm each day. This festival gave tamariki a wonderful opportunity to experience a range of sports, including football, basketball, tennis, cricket and ultimate frisbee whilst promoting active lifestyles and community connections.
· House of Hoopz Hornby/Riccarton
The House of Hoopz programme has provided an exciting opportunity for rangatahi to engage in basketball, build confidence, and form positive social connections in a supportive environment.
Hornby House of Hoopz event had lower numbers but still offered participants a valuable chance to play, stay active, and enjoy constructive activities rather than being at risk of getting into trouble.
The Riccarton House of Hoopz was a great success, bringing young players together to test their skills in a fun tournament setting, many experiencing competitive play for the first time.
The series continues to highlight the power of sport in creating meaningful opportunities for our youth to thrive and the winning teams have a chance to compete at the final tournament to be held March.
· Christmas events
A number of Christmas events took place throughout the Community Board area in the lead up to Christmas Day. The volunteer hours in putting all of these together for the community would have been numerous. These included (but not limited to);
- The Oaklands School Gala by Oaklands School Parent Teacher Association at Oaklands School
- Carols in the Quarry by Halswell Lions at Halswell Quarry
- Carol Service by Hei Hei Bromfield Community Development Trust at 126 on the Corner
- Christmas Carols at Canterbury University by combined churches
- Hornby Community Christmas Event at Gilberthorpe School by Gilberthorpe School and Greater Hornby Residents Association
· Halswell Community Church Family Fun Day
Halswell Community Church held a Family Fun Day on Sunday 15 December at Seven Oaks School. Despite a rainy start to the day, many people enjoyed the entertainment and stalls.
· Hornby Community Centre – Health and Wellbeing Hub
The Hornby Community Care Centre have officially opened their Health and Wellbeing Hub with a blessing. The centre has been working hard over the summer break to complete the refurbishment to part of the old Hornby Library.
The new Health and Wellbeing Hub will be the base for many community organisations that have a health and wellbeing focus, including Pegasus Health- Health Coaches and Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa. This is the first time Pegasus Health will have Health Coaches based outside of a General Practice office, and it is already proving to be a successful partnership, with the Health Coaches connecting with community members that they otherwise wouldn’t.
· Summer fun at Te Hāpua
To kick off the summer break a Summer Pool Party was held on Sunday 15 December 2024. The community could enjoy playing on massive inflatables, bounce their way through an obstacle slide and bouncy castle and compete in a manu competition.
A dive-in movie party was held on 18 January 2025 and was packed with fun activities for everyone to enjoy and then settle in to watch Inside Out 2 on the big screen.
3.3.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.
· Quarry View Park Tree Planting Plan and Play Space
Consultation on the Quarry View Park Tree Planting Plan and Play Space was open from 17 December 2024 to 14 January 2025.
4. Advice Provided to the Community Board Ngā Kupu Tohutohu ka hoatu ki te Poari Hapori
4.1 Quarry View Reserve Trees
At its 15 August 2024 meeting the Board requested staff provide advice as a group of residents expressed a desire for the removal of poplar trees located along the Southern border of Quarry View Reserve.
The Board approved the Quarry View Urban Forest Planting Plan at its 12 December 2024 meeting which includes the removal of the trees, addressing the residents’ concerns.
4.2 Cycles on footpaths
At its 12 December 2024 meeting the Board requested staff investigate the removal of the shared cycleway provision on Ilam Road footpath between Rountree Street and Maidstone Road, Riccarton.
Staff have advised a decision on whether to continue with the current layout or to make amendments is part of the broader pedestrian project which is being led by the University of Canterbury, and subject to funding. Retaining or removing the current shared path layout - either in part or in full- is one of the options staff anticipate to be considered as part of the layout review. There has been no decision or agreement that the shared path designations need to be removed.
Staff also noted there are other locations in the city where there is a shared path and a cycle lane both in operation next to each other, and typically serve different types of users. Ilam Road is an example of this. Staff are unaware of any safety concerns raised about the share paths from the community since staff were last in contact.
4.3 Westlake Reserve, Halswell - Advisory signage
At its 13 July 2023 meeting, the Board requested that staff investigate and provide advice to the Board on the possible provision of signage warning the depth of the lake on Westlake Reserve, Halswell.
Advisory signage has now been installed at Westlake Reserve.
4.4 Community Patrols
Community Patrols of New Zealand is dedicated to helping build safer communities in partnership with NZ Police and other organisations. Patrols in the Board area include the Halswell, Hornby and Riccarton Community Patrols. Their Monthly Patrol Statistics can be found on the Community Patrols of New Zealand website:
