1.2 The report is staff generated as the lease currently held by Plunket is holding over monthly.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Clare Park - Lease to Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust 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. Approves the granting of a lease to Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust for a period of 33 years including renewals for the land and buildings (692 m²) located on Clare Park with an annual rental set ($302.40 including GST) in accordance with Council policies for setting of rent to community groups.

4. Delegates authority to the Manager Property Consultancy to do all things necessary and make any decisions at his sole discretion that are consistent with the intent of this report to implement the resolutions above including but not limited to conclude and administer the lease.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The current lease was granted by the Waimairi County Council to the Burwood Sub Branch of the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society for the Health of Women and Children (Inc) and The Burwood Playcentre in 1973 so they could build a Community Building for both groups at Clare Park.

3.2 The lease has expired and is holding over monthly.

3.3 The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust has continued operations at the site since the lease was first issued in 1973. Over the decades, Plunket has expanded services to include clinical and community programmes, and the site remains integral to their service delivery in the Burwood area.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Land and Buildings

4.1.1 The building and part playground is located at 149 Burwood Road and situated on Clare Park having the legal description being Part Lot 1 DP 6339 and gazetted as a local purpose reserve (Community Buildings). The remainder of the Plunket playground is located on land that is gazetted as Local Purpose Reserve (Recreation Reserve) in accordance with the Reserves Act 1977.

4.1.2 The lease plan is found in attachment A.

· Area A is the building footprint of 146m²

· Area B is the total land area in the local purpose reserve area (community building) totalling 571m²

· Area C is the land area in the local purpose reserve (recreation reserve) of 121m²

4.1.3 The building and improvements are owned by Plunket, as shown in the image below.

4.2 Annual Rent calculation

4.2.1 In accordance with current lease rental policies, the annual rental has been calculated on the total land area being 692m². The annual rent will be set at $302.40 including GST with rent reviews three-yearly.

4.3 History of Plunket and Playcentre at this Site

4.3.1 The historical records regarding the shared occupancy of 149 Burwood Road by the Burwood Sub Branch of the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society and the Burwood Playcentre in 1973 are limited. While both organizations operated from this address during that period, specific details about when they ceased sharing the premises are not readily available in the accessible archives.

4.3.2 Currently, the Burwood Plunket Clinic continues to operate at 149 Burwood Road, offering services such as drop-in clinics. In contrast, the Burwood Playcentre has relocated to 241 New Brighton Road, where it functions as a parent-led early childhood education centre.

4.3.3 A 1996 report from the Burwood/Pegasus Community Board references efforts to facilitate the opening of the Burwood Playcentre, indicating that by that time, the Playcentre was operating independently and required its own lease arrangements. This suggests that the separation from the Plunket Society and the move to a different location occurred sometime between 1973 and 1996.

4.4 Additional Supporting Information from Plunket:

4.4.1 Clinical Services:

· 519 clients enrolled in the Burwood area.

· Demographics: 65% European, 17.27% Asian, 10.36% Māori, 3.65% Pacific Peoples.

4.4.2 Community Services:

· Weekly Tumbling Tots Playgroup – 15 families.

· Monthly First Aid courses – approximately 30 attendees per term.

· Wetlands Walking Group during Terms 1 & 4 – approximately 10 families.

· Breastfeeding Group via Waitaha Primary Health.

· Pregnancy & Parenting Education and Perinatal Wellbeing classes.

4.4.3 Financials:

· Capital expenditures over the last five (5) years include upgrades to heat pump, carpet and water heater.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.5.1 Grant a Lease for 33 years.

4.5.2 Do not grant a new lease.

4.6 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.6.1 Request removal of the building – This option was ruled out as the building is in active use and remains an asset for the delivery of Plunket services.

4.6.2 Sell the building to another provider – Ruled out as the site is designated a Local Purpose Reserve (Community Buildings) under the Reserves Act and must remain in use by non-profit or community-oriented services.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.7 Preferred Option: Grant a new lease for 33 years.

4.7.1 Option Description: Grant a lease.

4.7.2 Option Advantages

· Provides long-term security of tenure for Plunket.

· Enables continued delivery of essential child health and wellbeing services.

· Acknowledges and respects Plunket’s capital investment in the building and playground.

· Encourages future infrastructure partnerships with community organisations.

4.7.3 Option Disadvantages

· Council may have limited flexibility to reallocate land during the lease period.

· Risk of underutilisation if community demand changes, although Plunket’s strong presence makes this unlikely.

4.8 Option 2 - Do not grant the lease.

4.8.1 Option Description: Continue to hold lease over monthly.

4.8.2 Option Advantages

· Retains maximum flexibility for the Council in future land use decisions.

· Allows for continued oversight and adjustment in short timeframes.

4.8.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not provide long-term security to Plunket.

· May deter further investment or upgrades by the tenant.

· Administrative inefficiencies and uncertainty in service continuity.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.9 Community Benefit

· The Royal New Zealand Plunket Trust delivers a vital and well-established service that significantly benefits young children and families in the Burwood area. Key community benefits include:

· Free developmental checks for children from birth to five years, supporting early detection of developmental or health concerns.

· Access to registered nurses who offer guidance on infant feeding, sleep, maternal mental health, and parenting support.

· Regular community programs such as the Tumbling Tots Playgroup, parenting education, and wellness classes, which foster social connection and strengthen parental confidence.

· Partnerships with external providers (e.g., Waitaha Primary Health) enable additional support services, such as breastfeeding support and first aid training, to be delivered from the site.

Financial Contribution and Stewardship

· Plunket has historically invested in the development and ongoing maintenance of the facility, including construction of the original building and playground, and recent capital improvements such as a new heat pump, carpet, and water heater.

· Granting a lease acknowledges Plunket’s longstanding commitment and financial contribution to the community asset.

· Continued occupancy by a stable and well-resourced organisation ensures the site remains active and maintained without financial burden to Council.

Strategic Alignment

· The proposed lease supports the Christchurch City Council’s Long-Term Plan objectives by maintaining a sustainable network of community facilities that empower resilient and connected communities.

· It aligns with the Parks, Heritage, and Coastal Environment goals of ensuring availability of recreational and community amenities across the city.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 While there is a risk that Plunket may adjust or cease services in the future due to changing community needs, their proven track record and ownership of the building mitigate this concern.

6.2 In the event of service discontinuation, the lease terms would ensure orderly transition and continued use of the facility by a suitable community organisation in alignment with the reserve’s purpose.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:

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

6.3.1 Community Boards have been given the authority to grant leases and licences in accordance with section 61 of the Reserves Act 1977 (Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards Delegations Register)

6.4 Other Legal Implications:

6.4.1 The legal consideration is application of the above in addition to the “Leasing Council Property Policy”.

6.4.2 Where there is one logical lessee for a public property, the Council will deal unilaterally with that lessee. Potential lessees will include those for which facilities are linked to contracts including, but not limited to:

· Not-for-profit organisations

· Buildings on parks and reserves

· Plunket rooms

This conforms with the Lease Policy as Plunket owns the buildings on the reserve and are a not-for-profit organisation.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5 The required decision:

6.5.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework. A collaborative confident city – residents have an opportunity to participate in community life.

· Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and the use of the local purpose community reserve is in keeping with that purpose.

· Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.7 Communities & Citizens

6.7.1 Activity: Community Development and Facilities

· Level of Service: 2.0.1.1 Provide a sustainable network of community facilities to empower resilient, active, and connected communities owning their own future - 78 - 82 Facilities.

6.8 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.8.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.10.1 Appropriate use and occupation of parks is facilitated - Processing of the application is started within ten working days of receiving application – 95% .

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 The community would be significantly impacted if a new lease is not granted. The vital services provided by Plunket play a crucial role in supporting new parents and families, fostering community connection, and delivering essential care to vulnerable mothers and babies. The absence of these services would result in a meaningful loss of support for some of the most at-risk members of the community.

6.10 Public notification of the intention to grant a lease for a local purpose reserve is not required under Reserves Act 1977 if the local purpose reserve is being used for its classified intention.

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

6.11.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.12 The decision 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.

6.13 The decision is not a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.14 The area of land to be leased is local purpose reserve (community building and recreation) and there is no change to the current use of that portion of land being used as a community facility for local parents and families to use.

6.15 Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

6.16 There will be no change to the general use of the land and building.

Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Katelyn Elley, Parks and Recreation Planner
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 community board approval to make Queenspark Disc Golf Course at Queenspark Reserve a permanent facility for the community. This includes proposed improvements to enhance safety and usability of the course.

1.2 The report is following a trial of the course that was approved by the Community Board on 7 November 2017.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Queenspark Disc Golf Course 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. Approves making the nine-hole disc golf course at Queenspark Reserve a permanent facility, with proposed course improvements as outlined in agenda attachment A.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Staff are requesting approval to make the Queenspark Disc Golf Course at Queenspark Reserve a permanent community facility, following a trial that begun in 2018.

3.2 Staff completed consultation with surrounding residents, community groups, and key park users. There was general support for making the course permanent. Although overall supportive of the course, three residents surrounding the park and one sports club requested improvements to the course layout.

3.3 Following consultation, staff worked with Ōtautahi Chain Club to determine appropriate improvements to address issues raised through consultation as well as enhance overall safety, flow, and usability of the course. Proposed improvements to the course layout are shown in Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Following the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, the Parklands Residents’ Association received a donation to support the community's recovery. They chose to use the funds to establish a disc golf course at Queenspark Reserve for the benefit of both the local community and visitors from further afield.

4.2 Parklands Residents’ Association made a deputation to the Coastal–Burwood Community Board on 6 November 2017, requesting approval to install a 9-hole disc golf course at Queenspark Reserve. Staff were supportive of an initial trial course to provide the opportunity for the community to see disc golf in action and how it works in a local park setting, with the view to obtaining approval for a permanent course if demand warranted.

4.3 On 6 November 2017, the Community Board approved the Parklands Residents’ Association to conduct a trial of a disc golf facility at Queenspark Reserve, pending advice from the Parks Unit regarding the activity.

4.4 After consultation with the Parks Unit in 2018, the Residents Association installed a nine-hole disc golf course with a temporary layout. The facility operates under a non-exclusive agreement with the Council.

4.5 In 2020, the Parklands Residents Association transferred all assets of the disc golf course at Queenspark Reserve to Ōtautahi Chain Club Incorporated. The Club are now responsible for the repair, maintenance, and replacement of all Disc Golf assets.

4.6 Due to delays over COVID-19 the course has not yet been made permanent and remains in operation as a trial.

4.7 In recent years, nearby residents have raised concerns about discs entering private properties. Staff consider course formalisation an opportunity to address these concerns through a revised layout.

4.8 A graph of a number of bars

AI-generated content may be incorrect. Queenspark is one of Christchurch’s most popular disc golf courses. It features a compact 9-hole layout that suitable for beginners and has played a significant role in growing local interest and participation in the sport.

4.9 User data on the course has been provided by Ōtautahi Chain Club as shown in the graph. Data has been recorded through the ‘U Disc’ app, where players can record their rounds. It is evident from this data that there has been growing popularity in the use of the course, with 31,505 rounds being played in 2023. It is important to note that this app requires individuals to input data manually and does not record informal use of the course. Given this, staff anticipate usage numbers are much higher than reported.

4.10 Following consultation, staff met with the Ōtautahi Chain Club to discuss the concerns that had been raised. As a result, the club formed a course committee to review the layout and provided staff with proposed improvements to enhance the course’s safety and usability

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.12 Option 1: Make the Queenspark Disc Golf Course a permanent community facility, with course improvements.

Option 2: Remove the course.

The following option was considered but ruled out:

· Approve the course with the current layout. Given staff were already aware of concerns raised by residents on the current course layout and further concerns were raised during consultation, this option was ruled out.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.13 Preferred Option: Option 1 - Make the Queenspark Disc Golf Course a permanent community facility.

4.14 Option Description: Make the Queenspark Disc Golf Course a permanent community facility, with the following proposed course improvements:

· Basket location improvement at hole one to address community concerns.

· New signage:

· Signage added to hole three and six to address safety concerns.

· A course map, safety notices, and event information at entry to course.

· Relocation of tee pad on hole seven to improve player flow and reduce safety risks to other players. Basket location will remain.

· Secondary basket locations – During review of the course layout Ōtautahi Chain Club have proposed adding additional basket sleeves to holes 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, and 9. Basket sleeves are metal cylinders installed into the ground that securely hold disc golf baskets in place while allowing them to be moved between locations. See attachment A for secondary basket locations.

· Additional basket locations will improve course variety and allow for ground recovery.

· The sleeves will be located within approximately 10-15 metres of the existing baskets and staff are confident that the proposed locations will not cause concerns with discs landing outside of the Reserve.

· Sleeves are driven into the ground as shown in the image below. The sleeves will be capped when not in use to ensure they are not a safety hazard to park users. They will also be placed in a way not to interfere with mowers or be clearly marked.

·

Ōtautahi Chain Club plan to move the baskets approximately every six months.

4.14.2 Option Advantages

· The disc golf course increases activation of the reserve.

· It is complementary to other park uses.

· The improvements increase participant and community safety.

· Disc golf can be played by people of all ages and abilities.

· It is a low cost, easily accessed sport, available at times convenient to participants and requiring limited commitment.

· Course improvements enhance the overall safety, variety, and usability of the course.

4.14.3 Option Disadvantages

· No disadvantages

4.15 Option 2 – Remove the course.

4.15.1 Option Description: Remove the course.

4.15.2 Option Advantages

· No advantages.

4.15.3 Option Disadvantages

· Removal of the course reduces opportunities for participation in the sport and will result in dissatisfaction from those that participate in disc golf and used the temporary course.

6.5 The required decision:

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

6.5.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by limited number of affected neighbours and park users.

6.5.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies: Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002, which aims to provide a city where people participate, enjoy and have the opportunity to perform and excel in physical recreation and sport.

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

6.7 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.7.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.5 Resident satisfaction with the overall availability of recreation facilities within the City’s parks and foreshore network - >= 70%.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero

6.8 Public consultation started on 25 February and ran until 13 March 2025.

6.9 31 stakeholders were contacted via email including, Queenspark School, Parklands Baptist Community Church, Queenspark Community Trust, Parklands Residents Association and relevant sports clubs.

6.10 Consultation documents were delivered to properties surrounding the reserve along Radiata Avenue and Queenspark Drive.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.11 Submissions were received by one sports club, one organisation and five individuals. Three submissions were in support of the course. Four submissions raised concerns, although all noted that overall, they were supportive of the course if changes are implemented.

6.12 Reasons for support:

· Provides ideal gentle exercise for sedentary adults

· Activates an otherwise empty greenspace

· Best course in the city for beginners

· Great for mental health

· Easy way to stay active and get out with friends and family

6.13 Concerns raised and staff proposed solutions included:

Basket one – Disc’s entering neighbouring properties/safety concerns for residents and those who use the road and pathways.

· Proposed solution: Move basket one approximately 15 metres to the left. This will angle throwers further away from neighbouring properties, the footpath and road, greatly reducing the likelihood of stray discs.

A sign on a pole

AI-generated content may be incorrect. Basket three – Conflicting activity with cricket (primarily during Saturday games).

· Proposed solution: Signage will be added advising participants to skip this hole if sport is in play on the adjacent sports fields. A secondary basket sleeve location is also proposed for this hole, on an angle that will minimize the risk of discs landing on the sports fields.

· While discs occasionally land in this area during Saturday sports, this represents only a small fraction of the course’s overall usage. There have been no reported incidents, therefore rather than always compromise the layout and general playability for all users’, staff don’t see the need for the relocation of basket three. If incidents do occur this can be reassessed.

Basket six – Children entering the road to retrieve discs/discs hitting parked cars.

· The current basket placement provides ample buffer space to minimise discs going on the road. Players capable of reaching the road are old enough to exercise basic road safety; others should be supervised.

· Proposed solution: Signage will be put in place to request that caution is exercised when throwing, if parked cars are present.

6.14 Both property owners and Parklands United Sports Club who raised the concerns have been involved in the consultation around the location changes. See Attachment A for map of improvements, which will be implemented following Community Board approval.

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

6.15.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.16 The decision 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.

6.17 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

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

6.19 Disc golf has a low environmental impact. Local provision allows local participation without the need to travel.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approval is given to make the course permanent, Ōtautahi Chain Club will begin seeking funding to implement the agreed course improvements.

7.2 Staff will provide new signage to the course.

10. Horseshoe Lake Reserve - Proposed Tree Removals
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/803407
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Robbie Hewson, Head Ranger Coastal and Plains Regional Parks
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 the approval to remove forty (40) trees in Horseshoe Lake Reserve, located along the Lake Terrace Road Frontage between Horseshoe Lake Road and Carlsen Street.

1.2 These Forty (40) trees have been identified as pest plant species, their removal would allow the replanting of native riparian species which would improve biodiversity in the reserve and limit the risk of pest species spreading into the newly planted areas and the adjacent wetland.

1.3 The tree removals are part of a wider scope of works planned for the reserve which include pathway renewal work, planting between the pathway and lake edge and seating renewal.

1.4 This is a staff generated report.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Horseshoe Lake Reserve - Proposed Tree Removals 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 removal of forty (40) identified trees in Horseshoe Lake Reserve, located on Lake Terrace Road between Horseshoe Lake Road and Carlsen Street as indicated in agenda attachment A.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Forty (40) trees have been identified for removal in Horseshoe Lake Reserve, located on Lake Terrace Road between Horseshoe Lake Road and Carlsen Street.

3.2 These trees are pest species which negatively impact Horseshoe Lake Reserve by spreading into the adjacent wetland area which is a Site of Ecological Significance (SES) in the district plan.

3.3 The trees will be replaced with native riparian species which will benefit the area long-term in line with the restoration and management of Horseshoe Lake Reserve.

3.4 Existing operational and capital funding is available to complete this work.

3.5 Residents on Lake Terrace Road immediately opposite the reserve have been notified of the proposed work.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Tree Assessment

4.1 There are forty (40) trees identified for removal as part of the renewal plan. These trees are all pest species that are invasive in a wetland environment and threaten naturally occurring native vegetation in Horseshoe Lake. They require ongoing resources to manage and control from spreading and take up space where native species could naturally establish.

4.2 The species and the number of each required for removal are:

· Alder (Alnus glutinosa) 28

· Sycamore (Acer pseudoplatanus) 8

· Willow (Salix spp.) 4

4.3 Thirty-six (36) of the trees have been assessed as being in good to fair overall condition (healthy and structurally sound), Four (4) trees have been assessed as being in poor condition (unhealthy or structurally unsound)

4.4
The image below shows the location of the trees to be removed, highlighted in green points. There has been a landscape plan showing detailed locations attached to this report.

4.5 There are a number of large mature poplar trees in Horseshoe Lake Reserve located along the Lake Terrace Road frontage. These trees will be retained and managed over the long-term. As they age, decline and are assessed to be in poor condition they will be removed and replaced with appropriate native species in line with wetland values.

4.6 The tree removals are in line with Councils Tree Policy, meeting section 4.10 which states “Healthy and structurally sound trees may be removed to manage or prevent the spread of pests and diseases; this includes the removal of pest trees where they are deemed a threat to indigenous flora and fauna.”

4.7 There is a planting plan to meet the Tree Policy which specifies a replacement planting policy for every tree removed a minimum of two (2) trees will be planted to ensure that the canopy which is lost is replaced within twenty (20) years. The landscape plan far exceeds the Tree Policy requirements.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.9 Option One (Preferred): Remove the forty (40) trees

Advantages

· Minimise the risk of pest species establishment in Horseshoe Lake Reserve.

· Consistent management in line with the reserves designation as a Site of Ecological Significance (SES) in the district plan by removing pest plant species that threaten areas of naturally occurring wetland and the planting of native riparian species.

· Improve the aesthetic value of the lake edge by removing some of the pest plant species and replating with appropriate native vegetation.

· Restore and enhance the biodiversity values of the Lake margins of Horseshoe Lake Reserve.

· A reduction of mown area between the pathway and the lake edge by planting out in native riparian and shrub species.

Disadvantages

· Loss of canopy cover in the short term.

4.10 Option Two: A phased removal of the 40 trees over a number of years

Advantages

· Increased canopy would be retained for a longer period.

Disadvantages

· Ongoing threat of invasive species spreading into the adjacent wetland and lake margins each season.

· Retaining some of the trees proposed for removal would reduce the overall area of lake margin available for planting and enhancement.

· Retaining some of the trees proposed for removal reduces the ability to realign some sections of pathway slightly so that it is further away from the road edge.

4.11 Option Three: No removal of the 40 identified trees

Advantages

· The existing canopy would be retained

Disadvantages

· Ongoing threat of invasive species spreading into the adjacent wetland and lake margins each season.

· Restricted ability to effectively manage and restore the wetland and riparian margins of Horseshoe Lake Reserve.

· Some of these trees will eventually decline in health and require removal at a later stage anyway. Some of these trees have recently come down with recent storm events causing pathways to be blocked.

· These trees will have ongoing costs to maintain which is not advisable given they are pest plants in this environment.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There are no significant risks associated with this decision.

6.2 Mahaanui Kurataio have been notified of the planned works on behalf of local Rūnanga due to the relevance of Waikākāriki- Horseshoe Lake to mana whenua. The project was discussed with Kaitiaki for Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga who are supportive of the work and encourage mahi involving the removal of introduced weed species and the planting of indigenous species for the protection and enhancement of Waikākāriki-Horseshoe Lake.

6.3 There are minor risks such as potential public opposition to the removal of the identified trees but these are likely to be outweighed by the improvements to the lake edge through native riparian planting and added enhancement through pathway renewal.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1 The proposed removal of these trees is in line with Councils Tree Policy section 4.10 which states:

“Healthy and structurally sound trees may be removed to manage or prevent the spread of pests and diseases; this includes the removal of pest trees where they are deemed a threat to indigenous flora and fauna.”

The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board have the authority to approve the removal of the proposed trees as outlined in Councils Delegation Register Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards.” Parks – Determine to plant, maintain and remove trees (healthy and structurally sound) on parks within the policy set by Council.”

6.5 Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.6 The required decision:

6.6.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.6.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by assessing the project proposal against recommended criteria outlined on Council’s significance and engagement policy worksheet.

6.6.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies including the Christchurch City Biodiversity Strategy 2008-2035.

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

6.8 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.8.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.2.1 Increasing tree canopy in Parks - A net increase in total number of trees is achieved (1:2 replacement policy), with a minimum of 50% of the trees being medium to very large species.

· Level of Service: 6.3.5 Customer Satisfaction with the recreational opportunities and ecological experiences provided by the City’s Regional Parks. Greater than 80%.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

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

Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

6.10 Consultation with immediate neighbours:

· A letter containing information on the proposed tree removals, replanting and pathway renewal work was sent to 71 properties along the Lake Terrace Road frontage between Horseshoe Lake Road and Carlsen Street on 19 May 2025.

· Residents were given an update on the proposed work including the reason for the proposed tree removals and were asked to get in touch before 2 June 2025.

· The following feedback was received:

· Two phone calls from residents opposite the reserve on Lake Terrace Road who were supportive of the work. One resident expressed that they wished that more trees were being removed including the large Black Poplar Trees adjacent to the carpark area. The other resident expressed concern at the increased spread of pest plants along waterways connecting into Horseshoe Lake and that the proposed work was a good start to addressing these problems and they wished to see more attention in this area.

· Christchurch City Council Ranger staff also received verbal feedback while working in the area in acknowledgement of the letters sent to residents supporting increased work and protection of Horseshoe Lake including weed control and planting.

· The summary of feedback received suggests that residents are supportive of the removal of the identified trees and the work to enhance the reserve frontage through pathway renewal and riparian planting.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.11 The option to remove 40 trees and revegetate the lake margins with native wetland plants does not involve a significant decision that would impact on an ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, however it does need to be considered that Waikākāriki- Horseshoe Lake is a site of importance to Mana Whenua and this work aims to protect and enhance the area’s natural amenity and cultural values.

6.12 The preferred option presented is consistent with the values and aspirations outlined in the Mahaanui Iwi Management Plan for the protection and enhancement of Wetlands and Riparian Margins.

6.13 This project seeks to remove pest plant species that are invasive and a threat to waterways and supports initiatives to restore wetlands and riparian margins.

6.14 We have discussed this project with Kaitiaki for Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga who encourage mahi involving the removal of introduced weed species and the planting of indigenous species for the protection and enhancement of Waikākāriki-Horseshoe Lake.

6.15 Horseshoe Lake is an important site to Māori and Regional Parks staff intend seek more formal feedback on the overall management and development of the reserve in the future with Mana Whenua who have provided us with the appropriate contact.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.16 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.16.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change & emissions reductions by enhancing an area of natural wetland.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If the preferred option is approved – the tree removals will be progressed as soon as possible prior to planting.

7.2 Renewal of the existing pathway will be implemented later this year.

7.3 The native planting between the path and the edge of the lake will be ongoing over several years with 3,000 plants proposed to be planted this winter and similar numbers the following season.

7.4 The large mature poplar trees in Horseshoe Lake Reserve located along the Lake Terrace Road frontage will continue to be monitored and managed over the long-term. As they age, decline and are assessed to be in poor condition they will be removed and replaced with appropriate native species in line with wetland values.

7.5 At a later stage Regional Parks staff are aiming to produce a draft plan for the future development and enhancement of Waikākāriki-Horseshoe Lake which would be presented to Mana Whenua, stakeholders and the community board for approval.

A development plan is likely to include:

· Ongoing pathway development and linkages between the reserve and the wider area for passive recreation e.g. boardwalks and pathways for walking and cycling.

· Areas for seating and enjoying the natural surroundings.

· Wayfinding and interpretation including cultural design elements and history of the site.

· Plans to review carparking areas and suitable access to the reserve.

· Ongoing wetland restoration and enhancement.

3.1 Community Governance Projects

Activity	Detail	Timeline	Strategic Alignment
LiVS Art Windows – Penguin Arms Project	Phase two of the LiVS Art Windows project has now been completed, transforming the Brighton Mall-facing windows of the Penguin Arms into vibrant galleries of youth art. Phase one, completed in March 2025, revitalised the Marine Parade side. By simply installing large-scale vinyl prints of artworks onto empty windows, this project brings colour, creativity, and life to spaces that are currently unused or awaiting longer-term revitalisation. It’s a simple, effective, and quick solution that brightens underutilised sites, which is important in areas like New Brighton, which is undergoing a long-term regeneration. The featured works are by young artists from ArtStart — a springboard for talented secondary school students to explore careers in the creative industries. QR codes on each artwork link directly to purchase options, providing a platform for emerging artists and an easy entry point for new collectors.	Ongoing	New Brighton Mall

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]

· Community Pride Garden Awards and Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards

On 30 May 2025, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board gathered at the North New Brighton Community Centre to celebrate the 35th year of the Community Pride Garden Awards. This year’s event was especially significant as it featured a joint awards ceremony with the Canterbury Horticultural Society, recognising recipients of the Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards.

The evening honoured residents who contribute to Christchurch’s Garden City identity, as well as those strengthening local food resilience and championing sustainable practices within their communities. Judges from both the Canterbury Beautifying Association and the Canterbury Horticultural Society were present to help acknowledge more than 140 award recipients across all categories.

The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Governance team ensured the evening ran smoothly, with the venue’s ocean views at sunset providing a beautiful backdrop for the celebration.

Board members took turns congratulating award winners and posing for photographs with the evening’s photographer, Deb Wilson. Special recognition was given to long-time participants, with awards presented to individuals celebrating 10, 20, and even 30 years of involvement. Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards were then presented, with certificates highlighting achievements in categories such as best sustainability features, innovation, and educational value in garden design.

Before the formalities concluded, attendees had the opportunity to win one of nine gardening-themed spot prizes drawn from a raffle. Board members congratulated the winners before the evening transitioned into a time of shared kai and conversation.

The event was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate community spirit and acknowledge the longstanding partnership between Christchurch City Council, the Christchurch Beautifying Association, the Canterbury Horticultural Society, and the dedicated community members who make this event possible.

· Queenspark Community Trust – Supporters Celebration

Queenspark Community Trust hosted its first supporters’ celebration to acknowledge and thank the many supporters and volunteers of Queenspark Community Trust. The Trust plays a vital role at the heart of the Parklands and Queenspark community, delivering a wide range of activities—from preschool programmes and youth groups to craft classes, markets, and workshops. The event also highlighted the breadth of their work through a detailed annual report.

· Aranui Bike Fix Project

The Aranui Bike Fix Project located on Shortland Street, runs a drop-in repair service every Thursday from 3-6pm from February to December, including during the school holidays. During these sessions, the volunteers on site have a strong focus on teaching and educating those who bring their bikes for repair. Focusing on bike mechanics, particularly to young people, but also their whanau or any others from the local community who may be interested. The service is free for the community to access. The group source free bicycles, fixing them as necessary and donating them to people who wouldn't otherwise be able to access them. The group also organise bi-weekly bicycle trips to locations within proximity, including Bottle Lake Forest and the Port Hills.

It’s more than a bike workshop, it’s a pathway to achievement and recognition, resilience and self-belief and real-world skills that could lead to jobs or training.

The project co-ordinator has recently developed a new bike skills-based programme as fun, practical way for Tamariki to build confidence and bike repair skills through real hands-on challenges. Each tasks completed earns Pedal Points, giving kids a sense of progress and celebration along the way. The progression pathway is from level 1-5, level 1 is pedal pro – learning the basics through to level 5 master mechanic - demonstrate leadership skills, mentoring others and sharing their skills.

The above photo was taken during one of the regular Thursday Bike Fixup sessions. The boy had just completed one of the "Bike Mechanic Challenges," learning how to repair a puncture for the first time. He was really proud—and the success gave him the confidence to take on another challenge the following week.

· The Dallington Landing Rotary Forest of Peace and Remembrance

Conservation Volunteers Christchurch were back on site on Saturday, 7 June 2025 for Planting with Pride working bee. Despite the stormy weather and cold, the volunteers managed to get another round of rākau in the ground at the Dallington Landing making the total more than 5,000 plants.

· Pa Whakaoranga

The team at Pa Whakaoranga recently completed a new pathway connecting the back of the community hub to their carving studio. The new pathway has been game changing for the carving group, especially those with disabilities who were struggling to access the studio.

Pa Whakaoranga opened in March on the corner of Pages and Breezes Road. The former Iona Presbyterian Church, which was damaged in the earthquakes, has been renovated to transform the building into a community hub. Officially opening in March of this year, Pa Whakaoranga aims to be a place of healing and a place where its visitors can rediscover hope. The project is a collaboration between Alpine Presbytery and Te Manawa Ora Trust. The group host well-being wānanga, and most recently, the back yard has been transformed into a maara kai by another local volunteer who is passionate about producing kai for the community.

Pa Whakaoranga is home to a local carver who volunteers each week offering wood carving workshops on Wednesday mornings for anyone who would like to come in and learn skills. They are one of a few carving workshops who can offer and teach both Māori and Pasifika designs through their work. The group are also looking to add pounamu carving in the next few months.

Through the work of volunteers and generous donations from several organisations, Pa Whakaoranga is gradually building the provision they offer the community and attracting more partners who are keen to work with them.

· Action Learning at Te Waka Unua

Te Tuna Tāone ran a series of sessions in Woolston in early June, starting with a trip to Steamwharf Stream Reserve where a group of students from Rāupo Rua Reo, the bilingual class at Te Waka Unua were joined by the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Trust to look for and identify longfin eel.

The sessions were focused around asking the students what their ideas were for the project that help the tuna and awa and what they liked and disliked about Streamwharf Stream in Woolston.

Te Tuna Tāone is an action learning programme that works with schools in Waitaha to help educate the next generation about how to protect waterways and the aquatic life that reside within the river and their catchments.

The students came up with lots of ideas, including designing posters to go up in malls and movie theatres to remind people not to litter, asking Council to plant native plants along the riverbanks and cleaning up leaves so they don’t get into the waterways and rot.

Te Tuna Tāone will continue to work with Te Waka Unua and help them action some of the ideas.

· Crossroads Youth with a Future

A new programme based at Crossroad Youth with a Future named ‘The Real Creative’ music lessons commenced in March 2025 for the children and young people in the Aranui community. They had 12 to 18 children and young people (between the ages of 5 and 16) who participated in the music lessons on a Thursday and Friday between 3.30pm – 5.30pm.

Te Papaki Hewet, Project Manager at Crossroad said “It has been amazing to see the progress being made along the way, at times I have had to poke my head out to see if it was the tutor playing the instruments only to realise it had been the children playing. It has also been a joy to see people in the community get onboard and donate instruments.

The project was funded through Creative Communities and was a partnership with Amplify School of Music based in New Brighton who provided the music tutor.

Crossroads are looking for alternative funding streams to continue to provide free music lessons to the community youth for 2025 and into 2026.
