Riccarton CRAF - Brockworth Place Street renewal

Claire Mulcock, Secretary, spoke on behalf of the Deans Avenue Precinct Society in support of the recommendations in the Riccarton CRAF - Brockworth Place Street renewal Report (Item 5 of these minutes refers). Ms Mulcock suggested that the road layout at the southern end of Brockworth Place be wide enough to have space for three lanes of traffic with lines and arrows painted on the road.

The Society considers that stop or give way signs in this environment are not necessary.

In addition the society does not consider that grass berms should be put in, in places where residents are unlikely to maintain them.

After questions from members the Chairperson thanked Ms Mulcock for her presentation.

Introduction Te Whakatkinga

3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by Capture Land Ltd on behalf of the developer. A preferred name and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.

3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.

3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.

3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.

3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.

3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.

3.4.4 Names of living persons.

9. Planting along the upper edge of the Ngā Puna Wai embankment
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/524298
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman (Urban Forest Manager)
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, 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 a hedge and specimen trees along the top edge of the embankment encircling the Nga Puna Wai athletics track.

1.2 The primary purpose of the planting is to provide shelter from the North Easterly wind which has caused issues for the athletic events.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Planting along the upper edge of the Ngā Puna Wai embankment 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 a hedge and individual specimen trees along the top of the embankment within Nga Pua Wai.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The athletics track at Nga Puna Wai is home to a large number of regular athletic events including national, international and local schools.

3.2 An ongoing issue that has been raised by the users of the track is the wind, specifically the North Easterly.

3.3 Staff have engaged with Council’s Recreational staff and the General Manager of the Athletics Canterbury to look at additional planting on the embankment to provide shelter from the wind.

3.4 Three options were considered for the type of planting with the preferred option being made up of a hedge and specimen tree planting evenly distributed along the North East section of the embankment.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The Nga Puna Wai athletics field is a space that is used regularly throughout the year.

4.2 The site is used for the Colgate games, International track meets and a large number of school events throughout the year as well as regular training.

4.3 Due to the location of the site and its exposure to the elements, the atheletics club are often having to compete with windy conditions causing a number of issues with different events.

4.4 As a result, the Athletics club have requested that Council investigate a long term solution to provide shelter from the wind with a particular focus on the North Eastern section.

4.5 Staff visited the site and discussed a range of different planting options with recreation staff and the General Manager of Athletic Canterbury Ian Thomas.

4.6 Staff assessed the existing vegetation on site to determine the long term prospects of it getting tall enough to provide sufficient shelter. Due to a combination of soil, wind exposure and species, it is highly unlikely that the trees will reach the necessary height to provide sufficient shelter.

4.7 Staff therefore recommend establishing a more favourable growing medium for planting along the upper edge of the embankment followed by planting of species that are well suited to windy conditions.

4.8 A concern that was raised during the site meeting was the usability of the embankment which is often heavily utilised by spectators during events. A large number of the groups for these events will also setup Gazebos along the top of the embankment to provide a space for the teams to leave gear and provide shade to spectators.

4.9 It was made clear that any planting would need to be completed in a way that did not compromise the way the embankment is used.

4.10 Two options were considered for the site:

4.10.1 Planting of a hedge

4.10.2 Planting of a hedge with specimen trees planted directly in front of the hedge at 6m spacing

4.11 The first option to simply plant a hedge would provide shelter to the embankment however; to gain the necessary wind protection over the rest of the track, the hedge would need to be allowed to grow hight (15m+). While the hedging species has the capacity to grow to this height, the ongoing maintenance would be particularly costly as access would be challenging, particularly on the lower embankment side.

4.12 The second option allows for a hedge to be planted similar to option one however the hedge will be maintained at 2.5m tall. This height will be much easier to maintain and will provide good shelter to those on the embankment. In the same alignment as the hedge, specimen trees will be planted at 6m intervals. As these trees mature they will provide shelter above the hedge and to a greater height. The specimen trees will have the added benefit of providing shade for spectators in the summer months.

4.13
The two images below provide a visual representation of the planting at maturity:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.16.1 Planting of a hedge and specimen trees along the North Eastern edge of the embankment.

4.16.2 Planting of just a hedge along the North Easter edge of the embankment.

4.17 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.17.1 No planting on the embankment- Wind shelter would not be provided.

4.17.2 Planting a hedge and trees along the entire embankment – Staff feel it would be best to start with the North Eastern section first and come back to the board at a later date if there is a desire for the rest of the embankment to be planted.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.18 Preferred Option: Hedge and Tree Planting.

4.18.1 Option Description: Approve the planting of a hedge and specimen trees.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.12 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.12.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change by reducing the urban ‘heat island’ effect

3.1 Community Governance Projects

Activity	Detail	Timeline	Strategic Alignment

Summer with your neighbours events are currently underway, with events to be held before 30 April 2025.	Ongoing	Strengthening Communities Together Strategy

Wycola Skate Park Workshops	The Christchurch City Council conducted two community workshops to inform the redesign of Wycola Skate Park, aiming to enhance safety and functionality. These workshops engaged local school children, residents and skateboarders, gathering valuable input to ensure the renewed park meets community needs. Key outcomes included incorporating diverse skate features, improving safety through design, and integrating cultural elements. This collaborative approach reflects the council's commitment to community involvement in public space development. Please see photos under 3.3.1.	Completed	Strengthening Communities Together Strategy
Culture Galore 2025	The Culture Galore event, scheduled for Saturday, 8 March 2025, at Ray Blank Park in Ilam, was cancelled following careful consideration of weather forecasts predicting significant rainfall on the day. This decision, while extremely difficult, was made to prioritise the safety of attendees, ground conditions and minimise financial risks associated with late cancellations. Postponement was not a viable option due to the scale of the event and the logistical and financial implications. Staff engaged extensively with participating groups and performers, with 99% of them expressing understanding and appreciation for the early decision made on Friday. While staff and the committee were understandably disappointed given the significant work and planning involved, they acknowledged the importance of acting in the best interest of all stakeholders. Planning is already underway for Culture Galore to return in 2026 at a new location, with further details to be shared in due course.	Completed	Strengthening Communities Together Strategy
