3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Staff propose enhancements to 20 well-used bus stops within the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area.

3.2 The planned improvements consist of installing 20 new shelters, accommodating approximately 500 passengers daily. The number of boardings per bus stop are listed in Attachment B.

3.3 The plans will improve accessibility and bus waiting areas by providing hardstand areas, tactile pavers, seating, new bus stops, and bus stop relocations. Standard line markings will also be provided to allow the bus to be able to access and egress the bus stop easily and safely.

3.4 The construction of this project will be funded by the Public Transport Futures programme (CPMS 78850).

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 At the 11 December 2024 Council meeting (Minutes, Item 11), Council approved the installation of the remaining bus stop shelters from the Linwood Bus Stop Improvement Project, at well-used bus stops across the Linwood, Central, Eastern, Northeast, and Southeast suburbs of Christchurch.

4.2 Funding from the New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) Waka Kotahi will cover the purchase of the shelters and the Council will be responsible for the installation expenses (i.e. investigation, design, and construction).

4.3 According to the funding agreement with the NZTA Waka Kotahi, the shelters must be purchased before the end of June 2025. Staff will work to install the shelters by end of June 2025. However, if some shelters are not installed by that time, they must be purchased and stored otherwise Council will lose the funding to buy the shelters. Storing the shelters will incur costs for Council (additional storage costs).

4.4 Staff define a bus stop as well-used if it serves about 20 or more passengers daily, which is the established traditional threshold by Council for installing a shelter.

4.5 The planned improvements involve installing 20 new shelters, accommodating approximately 500 passengers daily. Figure 1 shows an example of shelters installed at Linwood Village.

4.6 The relocation of bus stop 26557 outside 51 Bridge Street on Estuary Road, was proposed following multiple community requests. This was included in the consultation alongside the other upgrades in this report. However, following feedback from affected residents, staff have deferred any changes to this bus stop for further investigation.

4.7 Bus stops 26189 outside 53 Beatty Street on Estuary Road, and 12048 outside 107 and 109 Burwood Road, have been relocated to support the proposed improvements (shelter installation) at the paired bus stops, aiming to improve safety for all road users.

4.8 A plan has been developed by staff for the shelter installation at bus stop 39298 outside 209 Travis Road. As it is not on the road reserve, approval from the Community Board is not required. The landowner (Ministry of Education) has been contacted, and once approval is granted, the shelter will be installed.

4.9 The existing bus stop (#36901) outside 116 Aldwins Road is within the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board area. The proposal relocates the bus stop to within the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board area. As a result, the officer recommendations in this report solely includes the proposed upgrade. The removal of the existing bus stop will be presented to the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board for approval.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

4.11 The primary objective of this project is to install bus shelters at well-used bus stops. Staff have considered other changes, including bus stop relocation, standard bus stop layout markings, provision of hardstand areas, and installing tactile pavers, which were identified as necessary to meet the Council’s standard for bus stops. Additionally, measures such as green surface treatment, give-way controls, and no-passing lines have been included to enhance the safety of all road users.

4.12 The options assessment table in Attachment D presents the preferred option for each bus stop alongside other options considered but that were not assessed as being reasonably practicable. Please note the following points when reading the table.

· The table outlines only the key upgrades in the preferred option, such as shelter installations, additional no stopping restrictions, and bus stop relocations. Upgrades that have minimal impact on residents, such as tactile pavers, hardstand areas, and green surface treatments, are not presented.

· The table includes only the points specific to each bus stop. The general considerations, which apply to all bus stops, are discussed below but are not repeated in the table:

· For bus stops where there have been no operational or safety issues raised, relocation has not been considered an option.

· The installation of a shelter at each bus stop will provide weather protection for passengers. It will lead to increased maintenance and cleaning costs for the Council.

· The Do-nothing option was considered alongside the preferred option for each bus stop. The main advantage to do nothing is that the Council would incur no costs. However, the key disadvantage is that none of the targeted improvements would be realised. Additionally, the delay in installation of the shelters will lead to additional storage costs.

· The standard bus stop line marking layout consists of 12 metres of no stopping restrictions, followed by a 14-metre bus stop, and an additional 6 metres of no-stopping restrictions. This layout enables the optimum access for bus drivers by allowing them to easily pull into and out of the bus stop. It also improves boarding/departing conditions for passengers by making sure the bus is parallel to the kerb. This is important for elderly people, children, and visually and mobility impaired passengers.

· At bus stops where the bus stop line marking changes are proposed, the installation of a shelter, without altering/providing line markings, was considered but was not assessed as being reasonably practicable for the following reasons:

· The standard bus stop line marking layout improves access for bus drivers into and out of the bus stops by minimising the likelihood of cars parking too close to the bus stop, which makes manoeuvring difficult.

· As these are well-used bus stops, it is likely staff will receive future requests from the community or bus operators for the standard bus line marking layout. Therefore, considering these upgrades alongside the shelter installation provides better value for money by avoiding multiple projects at the same bus stop.

· The changes are minor, and the resulting loss of on-street parking is minimal.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 The estimated costs for the recommended option and the do-nothing option are provided in the table below.

5.2 The implementation costs in the table below include the expenses for construction of bus stop upgrades to install the shelters. NZTA Waka Kotahi funds the purchase of the shelters.

5.3 Maintenance/Ongoing costs - The Transport Unit Operational Expenditure budgets include maintenance of bus stop infrastructure.

5.4 Increased maintenance costs will be allowed for as part of future Long-Term Plan and Annual Plan processes. Budget will be required from year two.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, none of the improvements highlighted in the options table (Attachment D) will be achieved. This not only includes the benefits of shelter installations but also opportunities to enhance public transport accessibility and safety.

6.2 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, the associated risk in delaying shelter installation is that additional storage costs could occur. As per the funding agreement between NZTA Waka Kotahi and Christchurch City Council, the shelters must be purchased by June 2025. A delay in installation will lead to extra storage costs, as detailed in the Capex/Opex table above.

6.3 If the Community Board selects the do-nothing option, the shelters will be considered for other bus stops locations potentially outside of this Community Board area. This is a notable risk as staff observation showed that many of well-used bus stops within this Community Board area have a lower level of service than those across other parts of Christchurch, and require upgrades to meet the standard. Opting for "Do-nothing" would result in a missed opportunity to improve these bus stops and the experience of people using the public transport system. This also could increase the chance of receiving push back from community.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1 The relevant Community Board or Committee 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 resolutions of:

· Stopping, standing, and parking restrictions (including bus stops) under Clause 7 of the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.

· Bus passenger shelters under Section 339 (1) of the Local Government Act 1974.

· To hear and determine objections to bus stop shelters.

· Traffic control devices under Clause 6 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.

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 Staff confirm the shelters will not prevent vehicular or pedestrian access to any land having a frontage to the road.

6.5 Other Legal Implications:

6.5.1 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.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 Early engagement with ECan took place during the design stage through multiple in-person meetings. Staff have considered ECan's comments, and ECan are supportive of the proposals.

6.10 Consultation started on 10 February and ran until 5 March 2025. Consultation details including links to the project information shared on the Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage were advertised on 10 February 2025 via:

· An email sent to 65 key stakeholders, including schools and businesses impacted by plans, emergency services, AA, Disabled Persons Assembly, Orion and Chorus, Spokes, Greater Ōtautahi, Generation Zero, Environment Canterbury’s Accessibility Reference Group (ARG) and Environment Canterbury’s Public Transport Stakeholder Reference Group (PTSRG).

· Consultation documents that included plans and a summary of improvements delivered to 70 residents and absentee owners.

6.11 The Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage had 123 views throughout the consultation period.

6.12 Orion had several queries on specific plans regarding the alignment with cables, and minimum approach distances to overhead services with shelters.

6.12.1 Staff response: For each site, our contractor will conduct an underground service assessment, and appropriate actions will be taken. For sites with specific requirements, we will collaborate with service providers to ensure all aspects are addressed. Additionally, staff have worked on new types of foundations for shelters facilitate easier access to underground services for service providers.

6.13 Street meetings were offered to residents to discuss plans during the consultation period. One resident at 214 Bower Avenue requested a street meeting and their feedback is summarised in the table in section 6.19.

6.18 The relocation of bus stop 26557 outside 51 Bridge Street on Estuary Road, was proposed following multiple community requests. This was included in the consultation alongside the other upgrades in this report. However, following feedback from affected residents, staff have deferred any changes to this bus stop for further investigation.

6.19 Some submitters have suggested alternative locations for proposed bus stop upgrades. These have been considered in the options assessment table. Following feedback from affected residents, staff have reassessed the proposed plan for bus stop 11172 outside 121 Buckleys Road. The updated proposal now avoids interruption between the bus stop and the driveway.

6.20 In response to the feedback, staff provide answers to common concerns raised by submitters:

6.21 On-street parking loss

Staff response: Kerbside spaces are limited and need to be considered for all road users, particularly for public transport, which is an essential transport mode for many individuals such as those with disabilities, elderly people, and children and youth. It is important to note that the Council’s Suburban Car Parking Policy prioritises the use of kerbside spaces for bus stops over other types of parking. It’s also worth noticing that the existing bus stops, even if not marked, already hold 12 metres of no stopping restrictions. To make sure that buses can safely pull in and stop close and parallel to kerb, both CCC and NZTA standards now require a 14-metre bus box with 12 metres and 6 metres no stopping restrictions before and after the bus box.

6.22 Driveway interruption

Staff response: Avoiding marking bus stops at driveways is usually the preferred method. However, in a few cases, due to the limited spacing between driveways or to avoid removing a healthy tree, it may be that the bus stop marking interrupts a driveway. It is worth noting that buses will be there only a few times per day and each time for a short period (e.g., 30 seconds). Therefore, we do not expect any safety or operational issues to arise. Additionally, there are many similar situations around Christchurch that have been operating without any issues.

6.23 Bus shelter will block the sightline/ obstruct our window / is an unpleasant view

6.24 Staff response: It is important to note that the design of the new generation of bus shelters in Christchurch is modern, featuring a combination of metal and toughened glass elements, as shown in the figure below. The glass walls ensure that the shelter has minimal impact on sightlines and obstructing views.

Although staff have tried to place the shelters in locations that minimise these effects, we must consider the needs of public transport users. These individuals may need to wait for buses in severe weather conditions, sometimes for long periods. They could include elderly people, children, and those with disabilities. The primary function of a shelter is to provide weather protection and a place for these individuals to wait.

6.25 Privacy, vandalism, and graffiti

Staff response: Vandalism, privacy issues, and graffiti may occasionally occur at some bus stops, but they are not widespread issues across Christchurch. Should such an incident arise, the police can be contacted, as this behaviour is unacceptable. In the case of graffiti, the relevant Council team will address the issue.

Furthermore, the shelters are being installed at existing, well-used bus stops. This means the concerns mentioned may already exist at these locations, and the addition of a shelter will not significantly increase the likelihood of such incidents.

6.26 Fences/hedges

Staff response: We will ensure that the shelter is installed as recommended in the relevant guides. CCC will not be responsible for maintaining the hedge or fencing as the proposed plans do not affect them.

6.27 Bus stop affecting the property value

Staff response: Staff have not found any evidence that a bus stop or shelter beside a property result in property value reduction.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

6.29 The decisions do 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

6.30 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. However, providing shelters along with other bus stop upgrades will enhance public transport user satisfaction, service reliability and encourage more people to use public transport.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Once recommendation approved, staff will engage with contractors to proceed with construction.

11. Tree Planting in Waitakiri Square and Bayswater Reserve
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/539990
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman (Urban Forest Manager)
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, Acting General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the planting of trees within Waitikiri Square and Bayswater Reserve in alignment with the attached planting plans.

1.2 The report is in response to the adoption of the Urban Forest Plan which seeks to increase canopy cover across the city.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Tree Planting in Waitakiri Square and Bayswater Reserve Report.

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

3. Approve the planting of trees within Waitikiri Square and Bayswater Reserve in alignment with Agenda Report Attachments A and B.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Urban Forest Plan was adopted in 2023 and includes an objective of increasing canopy cover within our parks from 23% to 40% by 2040. To meet this objective, Council has implemented an Urban Forest Planting program.

3.2 Waitikiri Square and Bayswater Reserve have both had planting plans developed with the specific purpose of increasing canopy within these areas. The plans have been publicly consulted on, and a summary of feedback is included within this report. Overall, the proposed planting has been positively received with a large majority in favour of the plans.

3.3 The Bayswater Reserve proposal was taken to the Board in July 2024 for approval. At this time, the board requested staff review the Sports Field Network Plan to determine if this would have an impact, given that the park currently has an unofficial sport field. Staff have reviewed this and can confirm that the park is not planned to be utilised as a formal sports field.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Bayswater Reserve:

4.1 The Bayswater Reserve tree planting plan (Attachment A) was consulted on from 29 April to 20 May 2024 and received 13 individual submissions.

4.2 Staff brought a report to the Board in July 2024 for the proposed planting and was asked to further investigate whether there were plans to create a formal sport field within this park. Staff can confirm that there are no plans to include a formal sport field within this park.

4.3

Staff have reviewed the feedback which largely centred around the loss of open space and the local residents’ ability to use the space for recreation such as sports. The plan has now been adapted to ensure a large open area is able to be retained, this space is approximately 45 metres by 65 metres in size.

4.4 The plan includes the planting of 157 new trees and 2237m² of native riparian planting. This proposal will see the canopy cover within the park lifted from the current 7% to 57% once the trees reach maturity.

Waitikiri Square:

4.5 A planting plan was developed for Waitikiri Square (Attachment B) following a request from local residents to replace a number of trees which had been in poor health for a number of years.

4.6

The proposal went out for public consultation from 27 February to 17 March 2025. We received 173 views of the consultation page and 7 individual submissions of which four (4) believed we got the plan right, two (2) somewhat right and one (1) was not in support.

4.7 The submitter who felt we did not get the plan right raised concerns about shading, debris, loss of views and loss of open space. The loss of open space was also repeated by another submission who felt the trees could restrict sightlines into the park when children are playing.

4.8 The remaining submitters were largely positive and included some of the following statements:

“At first glance looks wonderful, inviting and very attractive space to spend time in. I am very happy with the planting proposal. Well done to the Council and very much appreciated. How are the trees going to be watered in the hotter months (if we manage to have any more)?”

“Love this. This park is devoid of life and the grass areas are never used by anyone. We walk by daily and have always commented on the lack of attractiveness of this park. Bringing trees in is a brilliant idea, will make the park an amazing area for the community and entice more people to use it”

“The shade this will provide will offer great amenity to park users! A great project!”

4.9 The proposal is to plant 29 new trees and 880m² of native planting. This will increase the canopy from the existing 0.3% to 65% once the trees reach maturity.

4.10 Staff have looked at the submissions and feel that views into the park will be retained through the pruning of lower limbs. Staff also feel the images of the trees at maturity do not adequately reflect the amount of open space that is left in the park as much of the space under the trees will remain open.

4.11 Due to this, staff are not recommending any adjustments to the existing proposal.

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

3.2.5 Bromley Fair

On Saturday 1 March 2025 the Bromley Community Centre held their Annual Community Fair at Cypress Reserve. The fair expanded its range of activities for 2025 with a full lineup of free family-friendly activities ranging from Pony rides, to combat archery and Bouncy Castles. Supported by a range of food vendors there was plenty for the local community to engage with on what was a perfect day to get out and involved at the fair. Over 500 people attended the event across the day making it another successful event for the Community Centre.

3.2.6 Whītau School Cycleway Project

Tuesday 4 March 2025 was the official opening of the Dentice Cycleway at Whītau School. The cycleway was constructed at the school’s playground during the summer holiday. The Bike Track storage container, together with 50 bikes and 50 helmets, was funded through a special community project facilitated by Christchurch City Council. The construction of a bike track was a top priority for the school community and with the costs amounting to around $100,000 for the track alone, it was a significant project to undertake.

Maaka Tau from Ngāi Tūāhuriri gave the official blessing and several from Christchurch City Council who were involved in the project, Graded Earth and Boxman Alpha, the construction team, Spray Works, Kaīnga Ora and Councillors Yani Johanson and Celeste Donovan attended the opening. Spray Works painted the line markings on the cycle way for free and Kāinga Ora provided the funding for the Bike Container mural.

The school can now start using the bike track. Each class receiving ‘cycle skills’ lessons taken by the Christchurch City Council Cycle Safety Team to equip them to look after themselves and each other on the track and outside of school.

3.2.7 Eastern Community Sports Hub Open Day

3.2.8 New Brighton Netball Club Skills Day – Koru Fund

On Sunday 9 March 2025, the New Brighton Netball Club delivered a Junior "Have A Go" Skills Clinic. The main goal of the event was to build connections within the club and offer a fun, engaging experience for younger players, as well as members of the community who were new to netball. The clinic provided an opportunity to learn key skills that would help develop their netball abilities.

The turnout was excellent, with approximately 35 juniors ranging from 4 years old to Year 9/10 students. Participants were divided into three groups and rotated through four skill stations focused on footwork, attacking, defence, and shooting. These stations were run by senior club members, with each group spending 20 minutes at each station.

3.2.9 North Beach Play Centre – Koru Fund

The North Beach Play Centre, located at 100 Leaver Terrace, North New Brighton, sought funding to purchase a new plumbed mud kitchen. After a recent shut down due to a fallen tree the centre has been focused on rebuilding its members. The new mud kitchen has been a huge hit with the kids.

· Civil Defence Emergency Management - Children’s Day 2025

Christchurch City Council Civil Defence Emergency Management (CDEM) partnered with Neighbourhood Support at Children's Day 2025, held on Sunday 2 March at Cuthberts Green in Bromley.

This year, the Children’s University passport initiative was a huge success, with thousands of kids collecting passports at the entrance and engaging in various activities. At the CCC CDEM and Neighbourhood Support tent, they took part in games and hands-on tasks, learning about knowing your neighbours and how to be a good neighbour. They also explored practical emergency preparedness skills such as tuning a radio, calculating how much water their whānau needs to store, and identifying essential items for their grab bag.

The passport initiative and hands-on activities allowed the kids and their whānau to spend time together and talk about their household plans.

· Ōtautahi Christchurch Pride Fest 2025

To celebrate Pride Fest 2025, Te Pou Toetoe hosted Pride at the Pool – A celebration for Every Body on Friday 7 March 2025. The event was especially for those who might not always feel at home in public, offering a movement session designed with the rainbow community in mind lead by Suli from Moana Vā and Yvette from Safe Gains. The community could also enjoy a swim, relax in the spa or get a look round, enjoy the fun-filled atmosphere, meet and connect with others.

· New Brighton Project Welcome Bags

The New Brighton Project has been working diligently for three years to bring its welcome bags to life. The first 30 bags have been assembled and will be distributed to new residents moving into the Home Foundation housing development. Each bag contains valuable local information and has been handmade by the local group Stitch-O-Mat. Rāwhiti School students also contributed by writing handwritten welcome notes. The initiative aims to ensure that all new residents moving into the area receive a warm welcome with a thoughtfully prepared bag.

· Principals Breakfast Meeting

Schools in the Waitai area gathered on Thursday 20 February 2025, to meet with the Community Board and discuss local issues and opportunities. The group also heard from guest speakers, including representatives from the Christchurch City Council's Swim Smart team and the Christchurch City Mission.

· Linwood Pasifika Community Gardens

The Pasifika Community Garden project at the Linwood Resource Centre continues to go from strength to strength as they work towards their community celebration in April. This month saw volunteers beginning to harvest the vegetables that had been planted in preparation for the communing feast. This crop highlights the valuable work and commitment the community have been showing to tend for and care for the plants that they have been nurturing since the project launched in mid-2024.

· Linwood Waterway Celebration

The Linwood Waterway Celebration was held on 6 March 2025 at Linwood Park. The event was a collaboration which bought together a range of stakeholder groups and local residents who helped to suggest ideas, support the planning and provided stalls and activities on the day.

The event was initiated by the Linwood Community Corner Trust Girls Group who regularly go down to the Linwood ‘Drain’ as it was known as the spot the eels and other aquatic life in the waterway are. Following their clean-up event last year, the group decided they wanted to do more, to raise awareness and improve the health of the waterway.

Around 160 students of Te Huarahi Linwood Avenue School attended the educational sessions put on by several organisations including the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust. The students had opportunity to learn about how to look after the tuna (eels) in the waterway and the importance of this species for water health.

After the school sessions the event was open to the public and 200 community members came along to enjoy the range of stalls, the sausage sizzle, activities and live music.

The popular ‘Name the Drain’ activity received over 30 entries which will be put forward to create a more befitting and positive name for the well-loved waterway. The Avon Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust brought along 150 wooden eels for people to decorate and take home, and there was also an opportunity to contribute to the design of a mural project for the path and cycleway which runs alongside the waterway.
