6.20 The resident who has provided feedback against the current plan has requested that they can be involved in the reserve. Staff are in support of working with the local residents to inform tree species and final location as well as assisting with the planting and maintenance of the trees. Staff will meet with the resident to gain their assistance with this.

6.4.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/866838
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Nick Reid, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve timed parking restrictions on Pages Road near the intersection with Breezes Road. Additionally, for the Board to approve minor no-stopping restrictions on Breezes Road near the intersection with Pages Road and on Pages Road near the intersection with Breezes Road.

1.4 A final concern with the potential for Pages Road motorists to park between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry) was identified.

1.5 The recommended option, as shown in Attachment A is to:

· Install 60-minute timed parking restrictions to encourage parking turnover on Pages Road.

· Install three metres of no-stopping restrictions on Breezes Road to improve the driveway visibility at 296 Breezes Road.

· Install four metres of no-stopping restrictions on Pages Road to prevent motorists parking between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry).

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Pages Road near Breezes Road Timed Parking Restrictions 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. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4-6 below.

4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Pages Road, commencing at a point 60 metres west of its intersection with Breezes Road and extending in a west direction for a distance of 4 metres. This is detailed in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG150185).

5. Approves that the parking of all vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of 60 minutes, in accordance with Clause 8 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 on the north side of Pages Road, commencing at a point 68 metres west of its intersection with Breezes Road and extending in a westward direction for a distance of 42 metres. This is detailed in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG150185).

6. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the west side of Breezes Road, commencing at a point 51 metres north of its intersection with Pages Road and extending in a north direction for a distance of 3 metres. This is detailed in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG150185).

7. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in this staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Local businesses have raised concerns regarding the use of on-street parking for all day parking on the north side of Pages Road near Breezes Road.

3.2 A nearby issue has also been raised through consultation regarding motorists parking on the west side of Breezes Road between a P30 timed parking restriction and a high-use driveway, restricting visibility for people exiting the driveway.

3.3 A final concern with the potential for Pages Road motorists to park between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry).

3.4 The preferred option, as shown on Attachment A is to install:

· 60-minute timed parking restrictions on Pages Road to encourage parking turnover to take place on Pages Road.

· Three metres of no-stopping restrictions on Breezes Road between the P30 timed parking restriction and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road.

· Four metres of no-stopping restrictions on Pages Road between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry).

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Concerns with a lack of parking turnover outside the businesses on Pages Road (317 to 321 Pages Road) was raised with the Council. A P60 parking restriction was specifically requested based on the length of customer visits to the nearby business.

4.2 Consultation was undertaken for the requested 60-minute parking on the north side of Pages Road. The consultation plan is attached as Attachment B.

4.3 Through consultation, the following changes were made:

· The timed parking restriction outside the Pages Road shops would only be required between 8 am and 6 pm, rather than ‘At All Times’ (meaning at all hours, used in the consultation plan). A sign that states ‘P60’ means that the timed parking only applies between 8 am and 6 pm. Therefore, the proposed signage will say ‘P60’ in accordance with Attachment A.

· A three-metre section on Breezes Road between a P30 timed parking restriction signpost and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road was identified as a location where motorists were parking and limiting the visibility of driveway users. Following this request for no-stopping restrictions, the visibility was reviewed and three metres of no-stopping restrictions between the existing P30 timed parking restriction, and the driveway entrance was added to the proposed plan. An additional round of consultation for three metres of no-stopping lines was not considered necessary, as the length between the timed parking restriction and the driveway is less than the length of a parking space for one vehicle.

· To prevent motorists from parking between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry), a final change of four metres of no-stopping restrictions were added.

4.4 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

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

4.5.1 Install a P60 timed parking restriction on Pages Road, three metres of no-stopping restrictions on Breezes Road, and four metres of no-stopping restrictions on Pages Road.

4.5.2 Do nothing.

4.6 Preferred Option: Timed parking restriction and no stopping restriction.

4.6.1 Option Description: Install a P60 timed parking restriction on Pages Road, three metres of no-stopping restrictions on Breezes Road, and four metres of no-stopping restrictions on Pages Road.

· Prevents people from parking between the driveway of 321 Pages Road and the driveway of 296 Breezes Road (Pages Road entry).

6.9 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.9.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 The decision does not involve a significant decision concerning ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

6.11 The decision includes minor work which is contained within the roadway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.12 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address parking concerns at this location. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not expected to have any impact towards adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board approved the scheme design for Marine Parade (Hawke to Bowhill) Street Renewal in their meeting on 9 December 2024.

3.1.1 The substantive motion passed by the Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board included a resolution that staff bring a report containing detailed traffic resolutions to the Community Board for approval before detailed design was completed.

3.1.2 It also included two resolutions for staff to carry out further investigation:

· moving the crossing point by the exit of the North Ramp further south.

· removing/reducing the kerb buildouts on Marine Parade by Lonsdale Street.

3.2 In line with the investigations resolved by the Community Board in the 9 December 2024 meeting, staff provided a Memo (Attachment B) with further information. This concluded that moving the crossing point was feasible, but the changes to the kerb buildouts would not bring the benefits suggested.

3.2.1 The crossing point, previously near the North Ramp carpark access, has been shifted south to be closer to He Puna Taimoana. This shift is reflected in the recommended option, Option A in this report.

3.2.2 Option B refers to the scheme design as approved in December 2024 and will include the changes made in line with the Scheme Safe System Audit as outlined in Section 0.

3.3 A Scheme Safe System Audit was carried out of the recommended design (Option A). This recommended a number of further changes to the design to improve safety and usability, which have been incorporated.

3.4 The staff recommended option is Option A, as this:

· Includes the changes to the crossing point requested by the Board.

· Incorporates minor changes to improve usability and safety as recommended by the Safe System Audit.

3.4.2 The changes to the design include some minor changes to layouts and extensions to special vehicle lanes (i.e. cycleways and cycle paths) from the previously approved design. Therefore, this will require approval by both the Community Board and Council.

3.5 If approved, the next step will be construction. This is planned to happen in Spring 2025, to avoid disruption to events and the summer peak for visitors to the area.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The Christchurch Regeneration Acceleration Facility (CRAF) is a funding package of $40 million from the Treasury for transport projects in Ōtautahi Christchurch. The purpose of the funding is to make a difference to affected communities by improving liveability and to support their ongoing regeneration.

4.1.1 The CRAF funding includes $30 million for targeted roading and transport improvements to deliver integrated safety, modal choice, and asset improvements. This was specifically to deliver projects in communities which experienced significant damage and disruption, or increased transport demand/travel use due to a change in travel patterns following the earthquakes. This funding has been allocated to five areas – New Brighton, Linwood/Woolston, Richmond, Riccarton, and Spreydon/Somerfield/Waltham/Beckenham.

4.1.2 New Brighton has been allocated $6.5 million from the overall budget. At the Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board meeting on 12 September 2022, the Board resolved that the upgrade of Marine Parade from Hawke Street to Bowhill Road be allocated the largest portion of the funding.

4.2 On 9 December 2024, the scheme design for Marine Parade was approved by the Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board.

4.2.1 The substantive motion resolved that a detailed traffic resolution report will be brought to the Community Board before the completion of detailed design.

4.2.2 Two further areas for staff investigations were requested as part of the substantive motion at this meeting:

· CCBCC/2024/00114: That staff investigate moving the crossing point by the exit of the North Ramp further south towards He Puna Taimoana.

· CCBCC/2024/00115: That staff investigate removing/reducing the kerb buildouts on the western side of Marine Parade by Lonsdale Street.

4.2.3 On 5 February 2025, Council approved the cycleway and shared path included in the scheme design for Marine Parade.

4.3 The results of these investigations were outlined in a memo delivered to the Community Board on 3 March 2025, and included as Attachment B. This concluded that:

· The change to the crossing point location was feasible, and would be brought to the Board for approval.

· Changes to the kerb buildouts would not bring the benefits suggested, so would not be brought forward as an option for approval.

4.3.2 A Scheme Safe System Audit was carried out of the amended design. This recommended the following further changes to the design, which have been incorporated:

· A short section of shared path is proposed on the west side of Marine Parade near the intersection with Hawke Street to encourage northbound cyclists to join the cycleway through the new crossing point rather than crossing Marine Parade outside He Puna Taimoana.

· A transition from the cycleway to the shared southbound lane on Marine Parade will be provided near He Puna Taimoana to discourage cyclists from travelling on the footpath after exiting the cycleway.

· No stopping lines added to the west side of Marine Parade immediately south of the new crossing point near He Puna Taimoana to both provide a kerb cutdown for cyclists and achieve safe sight distances for the crossing.

· Asphalt speed humps within the cycleway only are proposed either side of the North Ramp car park access to slow cyclists and reduce likelihood and severity of collisions with vehicles.

· Short sections of shared path have been added on the western side of Marine Parade and southern side of Bowhill Road near the intersection of the two streets in order to aid cyclists exiting the shared path on the eastern side of Marine Parade heading west at Bowhill Road.

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

Date	Subject
03/03/2025	Marine Parade – Investigations Following Community Board Decision

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.5.1 Option A – Preferred Option: Move the crossing point further south

4.5.2 Option B: Request staff return the crossing point to its previously approved position adjacent to the North Ramp Car Park access ramp

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6 Preferred Option, Option A: Move the crossing point further south

4.6.1 Option Description: Approve the layout and detailed traffic resolutions as shown on Attachment A.

These relate to an amended version of the scheme design as approved in December 2024 following investigations requested by the Waitai Community Board and the scheme safety audit. Key features are:

· Relocating the new crossing point further south than the approved scheme towards He Puna Taimoana.

· No stopping lines immediately south of the new crossing point to provide improved sightlines for pedestrian safety.

· New kerb cutdown aligned with the above no stopping lines to allow northbound cyclists to use the new crossing point to access the cycleway.

· Southern end of cycleway is now one way southbound to avoid northbound cyclists crossing the southbound traffic lane.

· Kerb cutdown near He Puna Taimoana removed to avoid collisions between cyclists and pedestrians.

This would enable the project to proceed to construction, as well as enforcement of the previously approved design after construction is completed and achieve additional safety improvements for users of the shared path, cycleway, and crossing point near He Puna Taimoana.

4.6.2 Option Advantages

· This option aligns with requests made by the Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board at the 9 December 2024 meeting.

· This option provides greater safety improvements for cyclists by reducing the distance that northbound cyclists must share the traffic lanes with cars.

· This option ensures that the changes to the road layout and markings associated with the street renewal project are enforceable.

· This option increases safety of road users.

4.6.3 Option Disadvantages

· This option removes an additional two parks from Marine Parade compared to the approved scheme design. This is due to the buildout required at North Ramp Car Park access to achieve visibility requirements

4.7 Option B: Request staff return the crossing point to its previously approved position adjacent to the North Ramp Car Park access ramp.

4.7.1 Option Description: This is mostly the layout approved by the Board, with the crossing point adjacent to the North Ramp Car Park access ramp. Changes made due to the safety audit will be included in both options.

This will require staff to return to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board with detailed traffic resolutions at a future meeting.

4.7.2 Option Advantages

· This option retains one additional on street parking space on Marine Parade.

· This option increases safety of road users.

4.7.3 Option Disadvantages

· This option achieves lesser safety improvements for northbound cyclists, as they need to cycle a greater distance in the main traffic lane before joining the cycleway at the crossing point.

· This option requires staff to return with updated traffic resolutions at a future Community Board meeting.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.8 The following factors were considered when recommending the Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board proceed with the preferred Option A:

4.8.1 Option A aligns with the investigations and adjustments to the scheme requested by the Board.

4.8.2 Option A offers greater safety improvements for cyclists by reducing the distance they must share the traffic lane with vehicles before joining the bi-directional cycle lane.

4.8.3 Option A allows the project to proceed to construction sooner as there is no requirement for another Decision Report to approve detailed traffic resolutions. This will lessen the chances of constructing during summer, when the area sees higher visitor numbers.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 The cost listed above is an estimate based on the scheme design stage, and is not a tendered price from a contractor.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 During the scheme design stage, the project team identified a potential risk relating to the potential requirement for a resource consent should the project encroach into the sand dunes where the shared path is to be constructed. To mitigate this, a high-level assessment was conducted in collaboration with CCC resource planners. This assessment aimed to ensure that the proposed works avoid triggering the need for consents, which could result in delays and increased costs. The design team are continuing to work alongside CCC resource planners throughout the detailed design phase regarding this risk.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Approval of the cycleway sits with Council as the delegated authority. This has previously been approved by Council at their meeting of 5 February 2025.

6.2.2 The Community Board has the delegated authority to exercise the delegations relevant to this report as set out in the Christchurch City Council Delegations Register (last updated March 2025).

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

6.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework. Improving the safety of our roads aligns with the Strategic Priorities and Community Outcomes, in particular:

· Be an Inclusive and Equitable City;

· Build Trust and Confidence in the Council - the public consultation undertaken throughout this project has shown the Council listening to and working with residents;

· A Green, Liveable City – providing safe crossing points and facilities in New Brighton for people who walk and cycle will improve the accessibility and connectivity of our neighbourhoods and communities.

6.4.2 Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by completing a Significance and Engagement Assessment.

6.4.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies, in particular:

· LTP Activity Plan – Level of Service target to reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries (DSI) from all crashes by 40% in 2030.

· The changes made align with road safety and liveable streets goals in the Christchurch Transport Strategic Plan 2012-2042, and similarly in the draft Transport Plan (safe streets).

· The changes made align with Kia Tūroa te Ao – Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy as set out in the Climate Change Impact Considerations section below.

· Improving safety on local roads is a priority for the Council.

· A masterplan was developed for New Brighton as part of the suburban centres programme, and private investment is delivering on redevelopment within the main central area. This would lead to an increase in the number of people wanting to walk, cycle, and scooter to these developments and to cross the road to access the beach and Council facilities.

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Transport

6.6.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.2 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - Five year rolling average <100 crashes per year.

· Level of Service: 10.5.1 Limit deaths and serious injury crashes per capita for cyclists and pedestrians - <=12 crashes per 100,000 residents.

· Level of Service: 10.5.2 Improve the perception (resident satisfaction) that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=67%.

· Level of Service: 10.5.42 Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes - >= 625 kilometres (total combined length).

· Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=37% of trips undertaken by non-car modes.

· Level of Service: 16.0.20 Maintain the condition of road carriageways - <=4,900 customer service requests.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 This decision report is for the purpose of detailed traffic resolution approval. No additional engagement with the community has taken place.

6.8 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:

6.8.1 Waitai Coastal-Linwood-Burwood Community Board.

6.9 The Community Board view is generally supportive of the project as expressed in their monthly report to Council in February 2025.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 The decision involves a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.11 The decision involves a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.12 There is potential for an archaeological authority to be required due to the close proximity of the sand dunes and may involve consultation with Mana Whenua.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.13 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.13.1 Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.13.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.14 This option helps reduce emissions by providing a bi-directional cycleway and shared path which will give residents the opportunity to walk or bike along the eastern side of Marine Parade.

6.15 Improving the ability for residents to travel through active modes or public transport safely are key parts of the Council’s emissions reduction effort. Improving the safety of these travel modes will address some of the barriers to residents making sustainable travel choices and reduce vehicle kilometres travelled.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Complete the detailed design package and commence construction.

Notice of intended motions must be in writing signed by the mover, stating the meeting at which it is proposed that the intended motion be considered, and must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before such meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive. [Notice of an intended motion can be sent via email and include the scanned electronic signature of the mover.]

Once the motion is received and accepted by the Chief Executive, he or she must give members notice in writing of the intended notice of motion at least 2 clear working days before the date of the meeting at which it will be considered.

b. 19.3 Requirement to give notice

A member must give notice to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive, at which it is proposed to consider the motion. The notice is to be signed by not less than one third of the members including vacancies. Notice can be sent via email and include the scanned electronic signatures of members. If the notice of motion is lost, no similar notice of motion which is substantially the same in purpose and effect may be accepted within the next six months.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Under the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act) all local authorities are required to adopt a set of Standing Orders (schedule 7, clause 27(1)). The Act sets out in Schedule 6 the requirements for local authority planning, decision-making and accountability.

3.2 A notice of motion is a motion given in writing by a member in advance of a meeting in accordance with the Council’s Standing Orders.

3.3 There are two provisions within Standing Orders relating to timeframes that a notice of motion is required to be delivered to the Chief Executive:

3.3.1 Provision 22.1 states that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five clear working days before the meeting they are to be considered at.

3.3.2 Provision 19.3, relating to a notice of motion where an elected member wishes to propose a revocation, states that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five working days before the meeting it is to be considered at.

3.4 The Chief Executive has identified that more notices of motion are being submitted and anticipates the volume could increase during an already busy period.

3.5 The current timeframe with five days’ notice does not align with the agenda report deadlines and does not usually allow sufficient time for the matter to be reviewed or for council officer advice to be provided to ensure that it meets the requirements of the Act.

3.6 To address this, it is recommended that Standing Orders 22.1 and 19.3 are amended to require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting at which it is proposed to be considered.

3.7 The recommended amendment includes that the Chief Executive has discretion to consider and accept notices of motion submitted in a shorter timeframe where there is a statutory or legislative timing issue relative to the motion, or the matter can be dealt with sooner if sufficient information is readily available from council officers.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Under the Act all local authorities are required to adopt a set of Standing Orders (schedule 7, clause 27(1)).

4.2 The Act provides that an amendment to the Council’s Standing Orders requires a vote of not less than 75% of the members present at the meeting (schedule 7, clause 27(3)).

4.3 Council officers are reviewing the Council’s current Standing Orders, to consider matters that have been raised and compiled since Standing Orders were last amended, 2025 governance guidance and model Standing Orders provided by Local Government New Zealand and good practice. Information and opportunities for input regarding this will be provided to the Council and Community Boards in coming months.

4.4 The Act also sets out the obligations of local authorities with regard to the making of decisions (schedule 6).

4.5 The timeframe relating to the submission of notices of motion is a matter that has been raised since Standing Orders were last adopted, with regard to the provision of council officer advice and compliance with the decision-making requirements of the Act.

4.6 The current Standing Orders for Community Boards require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five clear working days before such meeting.

4.7 At its meeting on 16 April 2025, the Council amended its Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings) to require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least ten clear working days before such meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive. To ensure consistency across Council, it is preferred that Community Boards align their practice with regard to the 10 clear working day timeframe.

4.8 This Council term, the number of notices of motion has increased and those submitted often require detailed and complex information to be compiled at short notice to try to ensure that the decision is compliant with the Act, Council policy and requirements for decision-making.

4.9 It is currently a busy time for the organisation with work programmes and financial commitments set or under consideration and notices of motion can have an impact on these matters. The current five-day timeframe can cause challenges as they require staff to divert resources away from current work, in order to provide advice to ensure that decision-making requirements are met.

4.10 The five day working period for notices of motion to be submitted can impact on the timeframe elected members have to consider the motion, the information and advice received or for the matter and proposed motion to be visible to the public.

4.11 The number of notices of motion that have been submitted have increased this term. In the 2019 – 2022 term, there were a total of 15 notices of motion submitted and accepted. This term there have been 28 notices of motion submitted so far, with four submitted in the first few months of 2025. To note, these numbers do not include notices of motions that have been submitted but declined by the Chief Executive under the provisions allowed for in Standing Orders.

4.12 In comparison, Auckland Council advised they have a timeframe of 5 clear working days, and have received a total of five notices of motions this term. Wellington City Council’s timeframe is not less than four weeks, and they have received two notices of motions this year.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.13.1 Amend Standing Orders, clauses 22.1 and 19.3 as proposed.

4.13.2 Make no changes to Standing Orders.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.14 Preferred Option: Amend Standing Orders, clause 22.1 and 19.3.

4.14.1 Option Description: Amend Standing Orders, section 22.1 and 19.3 so that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive.

4.14.2 Option Advantages

· To ensure that any notice of motion considered by the Community Board is received with adequate time to ensure that the requirements for decision-making in the Act are met and that sufficient council officer advice can be provided.

· Manages the impact on existing workloads and work programmes for the organisation.

· Allows for advice to be provided to elected members in a timely manner and if accepted, for the proposed motion to be visible to the public on the Agenda, as opposed to requiring a Supplementary Agenda.

· Provides consistency across Council by aligning the Community Boards practise with the Council’s Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings).

4.14.3 Option Disadvantages

· No disadvantages have been identified. Elected members will still have an opportunity to submit a notice of motion. The Chief Executive, will also have discretion to consider and accept notices of motion submitted outside of the 10 clear working day timeframe where there is a statutory or legislative timing issue relative to the motion, or the matter can be dealt with sooner if sufficient information is readily available from council officers.

4.15 Make no changes to Standing Orders.

4.15.1 Option Description: Make no changes to Standing Orders.

4.15.2 Option Advantages

· There is no change to the current procedure.

4.15.3 Option Disadvantages

· The Chief Executive may decline a notice of motion where the Community Board may not meet the decision-making requirements of the Act, due to having insufficient time to receive and consider officer advice regarding the matter.

· Can impact existing workloads and work programmes as staff prepare advice for the notice of motion.

· Can impact the timeframe elected members have to consider the motion, the information and council officer advice received or for the matter and proposed motion to be visible to the public.

· Is inconsistent with the Council’s Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings).

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.16 To enable elected members to consider a motion it is necessary that they receive sufficient comment, information and advice to ensure that consideration and decision making meet the decision-making requirements of the Act.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 There are no costs associated with the recommended amendment to Standing Orders.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 The recommended decision addresses the risk of the Council not complying with the decision-making requirements of the Act. It also reduces the risk that the council officers do not have sufficient time to provide information and advice to enable elected members to consider a matter fully or the public to be aware of the matter and information or advice provided.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Community Boards are able to amend Standing Orders, the Act provides that an amendment to Standing Orders requires a vote of not less than 75% of the members present at the meeting (schedule 7, clause 27(3)).

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 Standing Orders must meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decision:

6.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.4.2 Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by nature of the amendment recommended.

6.4.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

6.6 Governance

6.6.1 Activity: Governance and Decision Making

· Level of Service: 4.1.22 Provide services that ensure all Council, and Committee meetings are held with full statutory compliance - 98% compliance

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 The decision affects all Community Board areas.

6.8 Prior to the Council meeting of 16 April 2025, Community Board Chairs provided feedback that they preferred a ten clear working day timeframe to submit a Notice of Motion. The Council approved this timeframe for Council and committee meetings, instead of the original Officer Recommendation of 15 clear working days.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.9 The amendment to Standing Orders 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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.11 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 A decision amending the Community Board’s Standing Orders will take immediate affect for its meetings.

3.3 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

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]

· Conservation Volunteers

Conservation Volunteers kicked of the new planting season with two working bees at Dallington Landing during the last few days of April.

The plants that went in included podocarp species like tōtara, kahikatea and mataī that once dominated the area. Christchurch City Council nurseries provided the plants and volunteers from the local community, as well as the dedicated Conservation Work Skills team, carefully planted the seedlings.

The Dallington Landing site is part of a wider vision to recloak the Red Zone in indigenous ngahere (forest). These trees will support future climate resilience and encourage native birds, bugs and lizards back to the area. The project is also part of the Forests of Peace and Remembrance, New Zealand wide project to celebrate the centenary of the Rotary Foundation establishing 100 forests throughout the country over the next decade. There are now 500 plants in ground and Conservation Volunteers have a further six planting sessions scheduled for the site, adding around 10,000 more trees to complete the forest.

· Hoake ki te Taiao City Nature Challenge 2025

The Waitai Community Board area had several events taking place within its borders for Hoake ki te Taiao City Nature Challenge 2025.

The challenge kicked off with Te Kete Wānanga o Ihutai Linwood Library on 22 April. They hosted Canterbury Museum who brought a selection of live stick insects, museum specimens and sea creatures for people to learn about. Next was Create NZ Nature on a T-shirt event at Te Kete Wānanga o Karoro New Brighton and Te Kete Wānanga o Aranui Libraries on 23 and 24 April.

On 25 April, the Nature Lab at the Climate Action Campus hosted their Night-time Adventures. This nighttime extravaganza, where scientists and experts meet to discover the range of wildlife that resides in their grounds. Participants came from as far as Timaru to experience a tour of the copper butterfly garden, a session identifying bird sounds, and did a spotlight walk, checking the awa for fish and tuna. The evening also included educational sessions on spiders, earthworms surveying, marine citizen project, make a big workshop from Stitch-O-Mat, the libraries outreach van and free sausage sizzle. Another highlight was the spotlight walk to the river where Te Tuna Toane facilitated a close encounter with tuna/eels. The week concluded with a guided walk of the Ihutai mudflats on 28 April, identifying and photographing an array of many species of water birds who reside in the estuary.

The event was a collaboration between Climate Action Campus, Canterbury University, Lincoln University, Canterbury Museum, NZ Biorecording Network, Whakaraupō fauna, Stitch-o—Mat, Te tuna Taone Project EnviroHub and Christchurch city Council.

· ANZAC Day Services in East Christchurch

The East Christchurch community came together to honour servicemen and women at local ANZAC Day commemorations. Services were held at St Ambrose Church in Aranui, the New Brighton RSA ceremony at the New Brighton Cenotaph, and the Burwood Monument for the Burwood Boys Community ANZAC Day Service. These gatherings provided a meaningful opportunity to reflect and remember those who served.

· New outdoor play at Climate Action Campus

The newest addition at the Climate Action Campus is a giant chess board and target game, painted by a volunteer landscape architect. The games are the first to go in, making up a new sensory garden space at the campus for community and students to enjoy.

· Hot water bottle winter project

The Blanket Bank are gearing up for the coming winter months, this year they are running a hot water bottle drive.

The Blanket Bank’s mission is to reduce the high incidence of respiratory disease among whānau in Ōtautahi. Respiratory disease is the third most common cause of death in New Zealand, and Māori and Pacific children are the most severely affected.

At the beginning of last winter Christchurch Methodist Mission, who run the blanket bank, saw their requests surg by 71%. By the end of 2024 they had given out 1,110 blankets. In April, they put the call out for donations of hot water bottles to extend what they can offer to community.

Linwood Avenue Community Corner Trust answered the call, collecting 60 hot water bottles from their Linwood communities. The Trust were also able to donate 65 pairs of pyjamas for children and young people spending time in hospital.

The blanket bank have seen more and more of the community stepping up to support their mission, receiving donations from businesses, other not-for-profit organisations and schools.

· Aranui Community Trust

Aranui Community Trust are running a free after school play hub during term 2 on a Thursday afternoon for Tamariki aged 5-10 years from 3-4.15pm at the Aranui/Wainoni Community Centre.

· SCAPE Public Art – Community Sessions

The room was full of local residents, artists, and creatives from across the city, coming together in a true reflection of the talent and pride within coastal communities. Hosted at the New Brighton Museum, the event highlighted the rich array of public art already spread across the coast—from murals and mosaics to sculptures. The session provided an opportunity to build on this legacy, as SCAPE explored the idea of a sculpture trail in New Brighton, featuring a proposed new work by South Brighton artist Stone Maka.

· AF8 Roadshow

The AF8 Roadshow stopped by South Brighton on Wednesday 21 May for a public science talk from scientists at the University of Canterbury on the likely impacts of a large alpine fault earthquake in the Waitaha region.

Hosted by the six South Island Emergency Management Groups, and sponsored by NHC Tū Ake, the AF8 Roadshow has travelled to and delivered at 17 locations across Te Waipounamu so far. The Roadshow is providing a forum to come together before earthquakes happen to share information and prepare. The more connected communities are beforehand, the easier it will be to support each other during and after. The presentation at South New Brighton Surf Life Saving Club was one of three delivered in Ōtautahi and had around 150 in attendance, keen to learn and stay informed on how to plan and support their communities in an event.

3.3.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.

· The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board Submissions Committee held a meeting on Thursday 8 May 2025. Presented for record purposes (refer Attachment B) are the Board’s Submissions Committee Minutes and Submission to the Council on the Draft Local Alcohol Policy 2025.
