6.3       Other Legal Implications:

There are two statutory processes under which road stoppings can be enacted. The authority to determine which statutory procedure should be employed to undertake a particular road stopping (either under the Local Government Act 1974 or under the Public Works Act 1981) is delegated to staff. The Policy establishes:

4.5 The following criteria have been established to ensure that the appropriate statutory procedure is consistently adopted by the Council, and to avoid, as much as is practicable, such decisions being successfully contested by any party.

Local Government Act 1974 process

4.6 The Local Government Act 1974 road-stopping procedure will be adopted if one or more of the following circumstances apply:

a.  Where any public right of access to any public space could be removed or materially limited or extinguished as a result of the road being stopped; or

b.   If it is found through the review process that the road stopping could injuriously affect or have a negative or adverse impact on any other property; or

c.  The road stopping is, in the judgment of the Council, likely to be controversial; or

d.   If there is any doubt or uncertainty as to which procedure should be used to stop the road; or

e.  The Public Works Act 1981 process is not able to be used or is not used.

Public Works Act 1981 process

4.7 The Public Works Act 1981 road stopping procedure may be adopted only if all of the following circumstances apply:

a.   Where there are no more than two properties, other than the applicant’s property, adjoining the road proposed to be stopped.

b.   Where the written consent to the proposed road stopping of all adjoining landowners (other than the applicant) to the proposed road-stopping is obtained.

c.   Where no other persons, including the public generally, are considered by the Council in its judgment to be adversely affected by the proposed road stopping.

d.   Where the road proposed to be stopped is to be amalgamated with the adjoining property or properties (as appropriate); and

e.   Where other reasonable access exists or will be provided to replace the access previously provided by the road proposed to be stopped (i.e. by the construction of a new road); and

f.    Where the use of the Public Works Act 1981 road stopping procedure is approved by the relevant Government department or Minister.

4.8 If any one of the circumstances referred to in clause 4.7 does not apply, then the Local Government Act 1974 process must be used.

The appropriate process being Public Works Act 1981.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The required decision:

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

6.4.2   Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.    The low level of significance was determined due to there being no change in use or appearance of the land which already appears to form part of the adjoining site. There is no change to access or use of the road or footpath for the public.

6.4.3   Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.6       Strategic Planning and Policy

6.6.1   Activity: City Growth and Property

·     Level of Service: 13.4.10 Acquisition of property right projects, (e.g., easements, leases, and purchases) is delivered to agreed timeframes - At least 90% projects delivered to agreed timeframes per annum  

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7       There is no impact on the public use of the sealed road and footpath should the road stopping proceed. The area of land to be stopped has always been incorporated into the adjoining site by fencing and landscaping, so the appearance from the street will not change. Most of the surrounding sites had completed road stopping and amalgamated the land into their site in 2013/2014.

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

6.8.1   Waimaero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board

6.9       The Community Board view has not been established prior to this report been completed.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10    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.

6.11    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.

6.12    The decision does not alter the appearance or use of the land as it has always been incorporated by fencing with the adjoining land.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.16    The use of the land will not change as it has always been used as part of the adjoining site 

             and can only be used in the future by the adjoining site for landscaping.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       Complete the process of application to Minister of Lands to approve the road stop and amalgamation of the land with the adjoining site.

7.2       Manager Property Consultancy can then complete all documentation until the change has been implemented.

3.   Detail Te Whakamahuki

Introduction Te Whakatkinga

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

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

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

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

3.3.2   A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).

3.3.3   The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area. 

3.3.4   A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.

3.3.5   Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.

3.3.6   A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.

3.3.7   The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage. 

3.3.8   A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance. 

3.4       The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 are set out below.

3.4.1   Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality. 

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

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

3.4.4   Names of living persons.

3.4.5   Names related to the developer of a subdivision.

3.4.6   Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.

3.4.7   Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.

3.5       The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard.

3.6       Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.

3.7       Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed names.

3.8       Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because the roads to be named are not collector roads and/or site(s) of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).

3.9       No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).

3.10    The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below.

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira

3.11    The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3.12    The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.

3.13    Council’s Paeārahi | Senior Treaty Relationships Advisor has been consulted and has raised no concerns with the suitability of the proposed Te Reo Māori names as set out below.

3.14    Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.

Proposed Names

3.15    The proposed roads are shown in Attachment A.

3.16    The proposed names are themed for the local environment and native flora.

3.17    Road 1 - Kōmanawa Place

3.18    Kōmanawa is a te reo Māori word meaning spring. The Styx / Casebrook area has a number of springs so this name would reflect the area in general.  The southern allotments accessing off this road are sited next to an existing box drain that is fed by a spring.

3.19    Lane 1 - Mikimiki Lane

3.20    Coprosma propinqua, also known as Mikimiki, is a New Zealand plant of the genus Coprosma in the family Rubiaceae. It is a widely-distributed small leaved divaricating shrub found throughout New Zealand.

3.22    Pōhuehue Place/Lane - Muehlenbeckia complexa is a climbing plant native to New Zealand, commonly known as pōhuehue, although this name also applies to some other climbers such as Muehlenbeckia australis.

3.23    Toatoa Place/Lane - Phyllocladus toatoa, commonly known as toatoa or blue celery pine, is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae, endemic to New Zealand. While the species of tree is not common to the South Island the symmetry of the name compliments Kiekie Road to which it connects. 

Assessment of Names

3.24    The proposed name is considered to be consistent with the policy.

3.25    Notwithstanding, the discretion lies with the Community Board to approve any of the above name options, including the alternative names.

(3) On receiving notice under subsection (2) the local authority or community board must, at its next meeting (other than an extraordinary meeting) or, if that is not practicable, at its next subsequent meeting (other than an extraordinary meeting), determine by resolution –

·     (a) that the vacancy will be filled by the appointment by the local authority or community board of a person named in the resolution who is qualified to be elected as a member; or

·     (b)that the vacancy is not to be filled.

If for any reason the person specified in the resolution is unavailable, or otherwise unable to be notified of the appointment, a further vacancy occurs in that office.

4.2       Section 118 of the Local Electoral Act 2001– Notice of intention to fill vacancy by appointment- provides that:

(1) If, under section 117(3)(a) or section 117A, a local authority or community board resolves that a vacancy will be filled by the appointment of a person by the local authority or community board, it must immediately, unless the vacancy is for the office of mayor, give public notice of—

(2) The local authority or community board must, at a meeting held not later than the expiry of the prescribed period, by resolution confirm the appointment described in the resolution under subsection (1); and the person appointed is for all purposes to be treated as having been elected to fill the vacancy on the date on which that resolution is made.

(3) For the purposes of subsection (2), the expiry of the prescribed period is 30 days after the date of notification of the resolution under subsection (1).

(4) If for any reason the person specified in the resolution is unavailable or otherwise unable to be confirmed in the appointment, a further vacancy occurs in that office.

3.1.2   Belfast Revisited

The Belfast Area Residents Association, Belfast Community Network and the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board, through Community Development Advisor Natalie Dally, have formed a steering group that will be engaging a social researcher to update Belfast information.

Previous research and projects have not kept up with developments in the area and the ever increasing and changing population. The steering group are talking with a researcher who will compile all of the previous research and Council planning into one source document.

There will be a community survey undertaken and focus groups held so the community can let us know what the projects and priorities are for them now.  This document can be used to highlight what the Council could be doing for and with the community and it will help the Residents Association to identify community priorities and where their energy should go.

With the Community Board recently granting funding to the Belfast Emergency Response Planning project for a water tank and also a pathway connecting Spring Grove to the Northern Corridor, Belfast is getting some good projects moving. The Belfast community pool will also be getting a new look as Council staff work with Belfast School and the Belfast Community Network to give the pool a fresh look inside and out and undertake some maintenance, to be ready for the new season.

3.1.3   Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Liaison Meeting

The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Liaison Meeting was held on Thursday 19 June, bringing together over 20 representatives from a diverse range of community organisations.

Strengthening Emergency Preparedness - A key focus of the meeting was on building community resilience. Staff shared feedback from a recent Emergency Response Hui, where community groups reflected on their readiness and identify areas for improvement. The hui served as a practical introduction to emergency planning, and follow-up support from the Council’s Community Development Advisors is available to help groups continue developing their plans.

Justine Balcar from the Belfast Community Network shared the impressive work being done through BERP, the Belfast Emergency Response Plan, a community-led initiative developed in partnership with local organisations including Belfast School, Belfast Rugby Club, the Bowling Club, Rotary, and residents' associations.

Since its launch in 2014, BERP has grown to involve 12 partner groups and has become a model for community collaboration in emergency preparedness.

They’ve delivered printed pamphlets to local households, supported by online access, and are working to translate materials into other languages. Allan from Asian Community Transformation Trust mentioned they have an intern who may assist with translating documents into Mandarin.

The initiative continues to evolve, with strong links to other agencies such as Neighbourhood Support and the Salvation Army. 

Volunteer Shout-Out - As it was National Volunteer Week, local staff led a fun, interactive “Big Shout Out” to celebrate the efforts of everyone in the room. Attendees were invited to remain standing if certain statements applied to them, such as having ever offered their time or energy to help their community. Unsurprisingly, everyone was still standing by the end. Chocolate was handed out as a small token of appreciation for the groups and their volunteers, in recognition of the important work they do across the Fendalton Waimairi Harewood.

Please see comments below from the Waimairi Toy Library:

We’d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Christchurch City Council and especially Karen for your generous support in funding a new gymnastics bar and safety mat and a brand new scooter, and for covering the moving costs for our donated Portacom where we can store our larger toys.

These additions will make a big difference to our Toy Library - giving tamariki more fun and safe play options, and helping us welcome new families into our community.

With our smaller location after the move from Burnside Primary School, we had to downsize our range but with the Portacom, we will be able to get new, bigger toys which will help us increase our membership.  Ngā mihi nui for helping us grow!

South Island Pasifika and Sports Association

The South Island Pasifika and Sports Association Incorporated were granted $400 towards the costs of the South Island U14's Malie Rugby League team's journey to the Queensland Legal Carnival to Brisbane, Australia which took place in September 2024.  Please see their comments below:

On behalf of the team, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for the sponsorship from the Community Board, which helped fund a playing strip for each of the boys participating in the Queensland Rugby League Carnival. The t-shirt featured a Samoan design, playing a key role in fostering a sense of cultural pride and identity among the players. (please see images below)

The funding had a significant impact in the following ways:

·   Cultural Connection: The Samoan design helped the boys feel a deeper connection to their heritage, reinforcing the importance of culture in sport.

·   Community & Team Spirit: Wearing a unified team t-shirt created a sense of belonging and pride among the players, strengthening camaraderie and teamwork.

·   Representation & Visibility: The design showcased the cultural identity of the team, allowing them to represent both their heritage and community on a larger stage.

·   Encouragement & Confidence: Having a team shirt contributed to the boys’ confidence and motivation, helping them feel supported as they competed in the carnival.

We sincerely appreciate the Community Board’s support in making this opportunity possible. Your contribution has positively impacted the boys’ growth, connection, and success in sport, culture, and community.

 

Emily Prebble

 Emily was granted $500 under delegation of the Community Governance Manager on 4/02/2025 towards the costs of attending the Singapore Open for Rhythmic Gymnastics which took place in May of this year.  Please see comments from Emily below:

I wanted to share my recent incredible time in Singapore for the Singapore Open Rhythmic Gymastics competition.This was held in Bishan just out of central Singapore in May.

I had the privilege of being able to attend this international competition to represent my club, Delta rhythmic gymnastics. This experience away, was absolutely amazing - something I will never forget. Especially adjusting to the humidity and 33 degree temperature days! 

Rhythmic gymnastics has been a passion of mine for quite a few years, and currently I am placed 2nd in NZ for my level. To get the opportunity to compete internationally is so good for my overall understanding of the sport round the world, and meeting and interacting with many others who are developing in gymnastics. It is incredible to see how other Clubs work and appreciate the differences in routines, training and coaching and the overall performance by others, not just New Zealand clubs.

I finished overall in 16th which I was very happy with as the competition was next level, and to even perform against some of these athletes was a joy to be part of.

Karakia Whakamutunga

Unuhia, unuhia

Unuhia ki te uru tapu nui

Kia wātea, kia māmā, te ngākau,

Te tinana te wairua i te ara takatā

Koia rā e Rongo, whakairia ake ki runga

Kia tina! TINA! Hui e! TĀIKI E!

Draw on, draw on,
Draw on the supreme sacredness
To clear, to free the heart, the body and the spirit of mankind
Rongo, suspended high above us (i.e. in ‘heaven’)
Draw together! Affirm!
