The Christchurch Yacht Club (the Club) hold deed of
licence (LTO)Licence to occupy in perpetuity with the Christchurch City
Council (the Council) for the exclusive use and occupation of the site at 239
Main Road, Moncks Bay.
Under the LTO no buildings or other improvements shall
be erected upon, or made to, the licensed property without the prior written
consent of the Council, which delegation sits with the Community Board.
The Club have been in correspondence with the Council
since 2023 regarding their plans to develop the site to provide storage,
security, fencing, and boat launching improvements. An application for a
fence was made in 2023 and a further application for the storage building,
boat ramp, and jetty improvements was made in 2024.
Engagement regarding the original fencing proposal was
undertaken in September 2023.
Engagement regarding the building, ramp, and jetty
improvements was undertaken in September 2024. There were two submissions
from recognised organisations, being The Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust
and Spokes Canterbury (a cycling advocacy group), both expressing concerns
regarding the proposal. There were 52 individual submissions. 36
(65%) were received in opposition and 19 (35%) in support of the proposal.
Following the initial engagement the Club made changes
to their plans in an attempt to mitigate some of these concerns.
Further engagement on the revised plans was undertaken
with the submitters of both the fence and building proposals in April 2025.
15 responses were received on the further engagement,
including five from individuals who hadn't previously submitted. All 10
original submitters maintained their opposition. Among the new respondents,
four expressed support, while one opposed.
A summary of submissions and the submission tables
from these engagement processes have been attached for your information.
