2.     Industrial Interface Plan Change

1. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Timing	This information session is expected to last for 30 minutes.
Purpose / Origin of the Information Session	This information session is in relation to a priority plan change, being the draft Industrial Interface Plan Change, which is now referred to as Plan Change 20. This session is being held as part of the engagement on the draft Plan Change. The session will cover the issues identified, the evidence basis (including technical assessments) that inform the s32 evaluation, and the draft proposed changes to the District Plan.
Background	Council staff have been investigating the management of land use activities at the interface between Industrial and Residential zones since 2019, in response to residents complaints and Councillor requests (refer to the staff memorandum attached). Council staff advice in 2021 was that further assessment was needed on whether a plan change is necessary and justified (by the evidence). In July 2022, a notice of motion was approved by the Council, noting concern with the lack of controls and notification requirements in the District Plan when it comes to the storage and movement of shipping containers at depots near residential areas. The notice of motion sought a report and/or advice on how, and what, changes could be considered to improve the District Plan by adding more controls and public notification requirements to address the potential negative effects. The review of the industrial interface District Plan controls was delayed due to priority being given to Plan Change 14 Housing and Business Choices (PC14). PC14 did however result in the introduction of a rule as an Industrial Interface Qualifying Matter (IIQM), that places controls on residential intensification within 40 metres of industrial zones. This rule manages greater building heights which could result in increased exposure to noise from permitted industrial activities. Since the hearings for PC14 concluded, staff have refocused to advance Plan Change 20, revisiting how the District Plan currently manages the industrial residential interface and key issues arising. Work has progressed on developing the evidence basis (including technical expert input) and options. Minor other changes are also being considered to correct errors, improve plan clarity and to increase tree canopy cover within industrial zones.
Key Issues	·    Ensuring industrial activities can establish and operate as anticipated by the zone, while adverse effects are managed appropriately where these can impact on residential areas. Key matters being considered are noise and vibration, landscaping, outdoor storage, and operation of heavy vehicles and machinery. ·    Reviewing whether all industrial activities are appropriate close to residential areas due to the scale or nature of the activity and associated adverse effects. ·    Considering whether the District Plan can be more effective in improving amenity at the industrial residential interface, over time as sites are redeveloped. ·    Considering whether the District Plan can be more effective in increasing tree canopy cover throughout industrial zones. ·    Correcting errors in plan drafting and improving rule wording and clarity where necessary.
Next Steps	·    Completion of s32 evaluation of options and finalisation of draft proposed changes following engagement.  ·    Prenotification engagement in February-March. ·    Council briefing in April. ·    Notification of the plan change on 7^th May.

3.     Community Events Implementation Plan Information Session
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/1417963
Presenter(s) Te Kaipāhō :	Lucy Blackmore, Manager Events and Arts, Tanya Cokojic Team Leader Events Partnerships, Marc Royal, Team Leader Events Production

1. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Timing	This workshop is expected to last for 20 minutes.
Purpose / Origin of the Workshop	The Community Events Implementation Plan: 2025 - 2029 accompanies the Events Policy Framework. This plan outlines the goals and actions the Council will undertake to develop, produce, and support community events in Christchurch. It is designed as an operational document with a five-year timeframe and a three-year review cycle. The plan is based on the Events Policy Framework, which was adopted by the Council in 2017. For more details, visit Events Policy Framework link.
Background	As part of the Plan's development process, the Events & Arts Team, supported by the Research & Monitoring Team, commissioned a survey through Dynata. This survey aimed to understand how Christchurch residents feel about the events the Council produces and sponsors, who attends these events, what they value, and their overall thoughts on the Christchurch events calendar. The insights from this research will inform a five-year Community Events programme. The primary focus is on identifying what the Council should continue, develop, stop, or start. The survey included 814 residents of Christchurch and Banks Peninsula aged 18 and over and was randomised and statistically representative of the population.
Key Issues	3 keys goals have been reflected through the Plan with an action plan to guide the delivery of work. 1.     Delivery of a dynamic events portfolio with the ability to evolve alongside community and industry needs. 2.     Enable partnerships that empower the industry to deliver uniquely Ōtautahi events for the community. 3.     Position Ōtautahi as an events powerhouse by promoting best practice and championing for the industry and our environment with bold advocacy.
Next Steps	The Plan will be presented to the ELT for approval and then shared with the Council and Community Groups in April 2025. It will also be made available on the Council's website for public viewing. As an operational plan, it requires support and assistance from various teams across the Council.

4.     Central City Noise in Mixed Use Environments Plan Change - Update
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/261455
Presenter(s) Te Kaipāhō :	Holly Gardiner, Senior Policy Planner Darren Bridgett, Team Leader City Planning (E)

1. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Timing	This information session is expected to last for 30 minutes.
Purpose / Origin of the Information Session	Council is preparing a plan change to amend the noise rules in the Christchurch District Plan that apply in the Central City, particularly as they relate to live music activities and the mixed-use environments within the four avenues. This briefing will provide an update on the Central City Noise Plan Change, including the proposed timeline, the Schedule 1 process under the Resource Management Act 1991 which Council is required to follow, the proposed scope and principles of the plan change, and a high-level summary of the initial expert advice received. That the Community Board have had the opportunity to meet staff and ask questions on the plan change and seek clarification on the timeline and process.
Background	Alongside the regulatory work programme, the Urban Regeneration team have been undertaking work to support both residents and live music venues based in the Central City and raise awareness of the noise levels anticipated in the Central City environment. This work includes a survey in 2023, which saw responses from 3,339 people, and educational webpages now on the Council website to help inform current and future residents and business owners about noise in the Central City. The Community Board received a presentation on the results of the survey in November 2023. This non-regulatory work programme is largely complete. Council is required to follow the Schedule 1 process set out in the Resource Management Act 1991 when preparing a plan change. The review of the central city noise rules was delayed due to priority being given to Plan Change 14 Housing and Business Choices (PC14).
Key Issues	·    Issues identified to date include potential reverse sensitivity effects of residents complaining of noise from entertainment activities that could reduce the ability for entertainment activities to continue operating, e.g. if an Excessive Noise Direction Notice is issued that requires the activity to reduce noise levels for up to 72-hour period. ·    That noise limits are too restrictive for entertainment activities in some locations. ·    That the noise insulation requirements for sensitive activities are insufficient in some locations, having regard to the levels of noise. ·    The plan change is reviewing noise limits, insulation requirements for residential activities, and the precincts for louder noise from entertainment and hospitality activities introduced into the District Plan through an addendum to the Christchurch Central Recovery Plan.
Next Steps	·    The next steps will be informed by the feedback from community board members at this briefing. ·    Staff will take on board feedback in finalising the process and next steps. We’ll continue work on the Section 32 Report to consider options for amending the District Plan and assess their respective costs and benefits. ·    Our next update to the Community Board will be in an Information session in May on the options for proposed changes to the provisions. ·    Following Council and Community Board briefings in May, we’ll be taking the options and proposed provisions out for public engagement in June. ·    Thereafter, approval will be sought from Council in September for notification of the plan change.
