8. Akaroa Recreation Grounds Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated - Request for a Storage Container
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/1137984
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Megan Carpenter, Team Leader Parks & Recreation Planning
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 consider a request from Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated for landlord approval for a storage container at Akaroa Recreation Ground.

1.2 The report is staff generated following an application from the group for storage within their existing lease area.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board:

1. Receive the information in the Akaroa Recreation Grounds Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated - Request for a Storage Container Report.

2. Note 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 installation of a storage container within the existing lease area of Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated at Akaroa Recreation Ground as shown in attachment A.

4. Note that the proposal would require modification of the lease plan in a variation.

5. Request that the Manager Property Consultancy 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 approving final container design, completing lease amendment, and administering the terms and conditions of the lease.

6. Note that approval is subject to Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated obtaining relevant resource and building consents/exemptions.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The report recommends landlord approval for a storage container within the current lease area of Banks Peninsula Sports and Recreation Incorporated (BPSR Inc).

3.2 BPSR Inc are a new tenant at Akaroa Recreation Ground and are proposing to make improvements to a sports court to make it multi-purpose for the community. This storage container will store all the equipment required for use of the court.

3.3 The Parks Unit support this application as it allows the sport and recreation group to have a multi-purpose space available for the wider community to utilise.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The Akaroa Recreation Ground is located at the northern end of Akaroa at 28 Rue Jolie, Akaroa. It was developed as reclaimed land in the 1880s and has a long history of providing for sport and recreation to the people of Akaroa. As early as 1932 there were three courts for netball and tennis.

4.2 The Community Board approved a lease to BPSR Inc in October 2021 for part of the pavilion and one court as shown in attachment B, this lease has recently been signed by the group. The group are proposing to upgrade one court to a multi-purpose astro-turf surface for which they have fundraised most of the development costs. They are proposing to install a storage container for sports equipment such as tennis/pickleball nets, netball goals, hockey goals, and sports balls etc.

4.3 The container will be 6.06m (l) x 2.4 (w) and 3m (h). It will be clad in timber battens to match existing clubhouse and will be painted the same colour. The roof material is corrugated iron to match the clubhouse. There will be two doors installed on the eastern side of the container facing out towards the community courts for access.

4.4 The reason that the group has chosen to use a shipping container for storage is due to it being relocatable, cheaper than constructing a purpose-built shortage shed, can be engineered for strength, cladded to fit into environments, and is secure. Refer to attachment C for more information.

4.5 The Council has a capital project that is underway to renew the adjacent community courts and the carpark. This is scheduled to start in spring 2025.

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

Date	Subject
11 October 2021	Akaroa Recreation Ground – proposed lease to Banks Peninsula Community Sports Complex Group – attachment C

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.7.1 Approve the installation of a storage container, within the existing lease area.

4.7.2 Do not approve the installation of the storage container.

4.8 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.8.1 Request the group to consider alternative storage buildings e.g. purpose built shed. This was ruled out due to the cost.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.9 Preferred Option: Approve the installation of a storage container, within the existing lease area.

4.9.1 Option Description: Approve the installation of the storage container, within the existing lease area.

4.9.2 Option Advantages

· Low-cost option for storage for the BPSR Inc group. The structure can be delivered on site during the renewal of the adjacent community courts and worked on by a local builder onsite.

· Provides space for BPSR Inc to store equipment for the astro-turf court including goals, nets, and equipment that activates the court for the wider public.

4.9.3 Option Disadvantages

· Any future removal will require truck movement over the renewed public courts. However, BPSR Inc group have indicated that the container will be a long term structure and unlikely to require removal in the near future.

4.10 Do not approve the installation of a storage container

4.10.1 Option Description: This option would require BPSR Inc to either continue to store nets and goals under the decking space of the pavilion and out on the court surface due to limited space. Alternatively they could investigate constructing a storage shed in the same location.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

· Opportunity to build a purpose-built structure.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

· Added time and costs for BPSR Inc, as well as potential risk of loss of equipment due to it being stored on a court open to the public until a storage area can be built.

· A storage shed is more difficult to relocate in future if required.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.11 The options were assessed considering the lessee investment on site, opportunity for the club to develop, and the impact on the park.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk that the lessee will not be able to raise sufficient funds to undertake the work. The likelihood of this is considered low and the consequences are low. There would be no change to the existing operation if money is not raised. The club will be required to show sufficient funds before work is commenced.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register dated 25 March 2025, the Community Board has the delegation:

· Authority to give (or decline) consent as landlord to any matter or request made by tenants/licensees under leases or licences of reserves to other parties, and to authorise staff to sign all required documentation (Community Board Delegations Register p.98 Part D – Sub Part 1).

· Approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration or addition to, any structure or area on parks and reserve provided the matter is within the policy and budget set by the Council (Community Board Delegations Register p.96 Part D -Sub Part 1).

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 Reserve Act 1977 – the proposed use is consistent with Recreation classification.

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.

6.4.2 The application is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

6.4.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

· Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002

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

6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.6.1 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%

· 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

6.7 The adjacent croquet club are aware of the proposal and form part of BPSR Inc. They intend to use the multi-purpose court as well as the storage.

6.8 Staff consider that the above is sufficient for community views considering the significance and impact of the decision proposed.

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

6.9.1 Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board

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

6.12 The original lease decision was forwarded to Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd for comment, no concerns were raised. There is no change of any significance to existing use and activity.

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 proposal to approve a storage container does not have an impact on climate change. The development will involve the use of additional resources, but this is not regarded as significant and is reasonable in the circumstances of the club which encourages local community involvement generally and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved, property staff will edit any required lease information. BPSR Inc will undertake fundraising and propose to align the delivery of the container with the court renewal work to be undertaken by the Council.

· Upholding Te Tiriti o Waitangi and integrating Te Ao Māori values.

· Enhancing community resilience and emergency preparedness.

· Supporting biodiversity and ecological restoration.

· Advocating for infrastructure improvements and sustainable tourism.

· Strengthening community engagement and transparency.

· Promoting social connectivity and supporting community facilities.

3.2 Key Achievements and Outcomes:

Together, the Board has achieved significant milestones:

· Community Engagement & Decision-Making: The Board’s engagement with mana whenua, local organisations, and residents has been central to its success. Through open forums, public sessions, and collaborative planning, the Board has fostered transparency and strengthened community relationships. The Board hosted numerous public information sessions, including but not limited to, the return of 177 Purau Avenue to Te Hapū o Ngāti Wheke, Akaroa and Duvauchelle wastewater schemes, coastal hazard adaptation planning, Yew Cottage options and options for the land at 27 Hunters Road and 43 Whero Avenue, Diamond Harbour. These public sessions have ensured that the information the Board receives is fully accessible to the community, either by attending the sessions, or watching the livestream video. Most recently, following deputations, the Board requested community workshops to ensure a better understanding of community needs to help inform options for consultation on the 67 and 67A Rue Lavaud (BP Meats) site in Akaroa.

· Environmental Initiatives: The Board has backed ecological restoration projects, including the conversion of pine plantations to native forest in Te Oka Reserve, Misty Peaks Reserve, and Governors Bay. The Board’s support for pest control initiatives and the activities of its 15 Reserve Committees has helped advance native planting and biodiversity protection

· Resilience Planning: Among the Board’s most impactful achievements alongside the Community Development Advisors and the Civil Defence Emergency Management team, was supporting the development of emergency hubs and resilience plans across settlements including eight in Whakaraupō Lyttelton Harbour, Akaroa, Wainui, Okuti Valley and Birdlings Flat with many more in progress. These hubs have significantly strengthened community preparedness in Banks Peninsula.

· Infrastructure Advocacy: In the realm of infrastructure, the Board advocated for upgrades to the Duvauchelle Water Treatment Plant and stormwater management planning across Banks Peninsula. The reopening of Drummonds Jetty and the ongoing Akaroa Wharf redevelopment are milestones that reflect strong commitment to resilient and accessible marine infrastructure. The Board has advocated for improved rural road maintenance and fire safety measures and has been a staunch advocate for flood mitigation, supporting the formation of the Little River Flooding Round Table Group to address flooding and drainage issues in Little River.

· Tourism & Economic Development: The Board listened to community and celebrated the launch of the Akaroa Information Centre trial, supported by Akaroa Heartlands, and endorsed Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū Banks Peninsula Destination Management Plan to ensure tourism aligns with our community values. The Board hosted a Community Forum in Lyttelton focussed on minimising the negative impacts of the cruise season on Lyttelton residents, businesses and infrastructure. Christchurch City Council and ChristchurchNZ have collaborated to tackle these challenges, resulting in improvements to the most recent cruise season.

· Community Projects: Community facilities have flourished with strong funding support from the Board, including upgrades to the Birdlings Flat Creative Hub, and several community halls through the Better off Fund. The Board helped enable the forming of the shared pathway for pedestrian safety from Little River to Cooptown and provided Discretionary Response or Strengthening Communities grants to organisations such as Te Mata Hapuku Society, Little River Railway Station Trust, and Project Lyttelton to enhance local services and spaces. The Board also supports youth endeavours, such as the BLAST programme in Akaroa, through the Youth Development Fund.

3.3 Key Challenges:

The above accomplishments were not without challenge:

· Infrastructure Vulnerabilities: Adverse weather events highlighted the need for improved drainage and road resilience.

· Balancing Tourism and Community Needs: Managing the impact of tourism while preserving local values requires careful ongoing planning.

· Funding Constraints: Advocacy was needed to secure adequate funding for biodiversity, infrastructure, and community facilities.

The Board worked hard to find solutions and forged stronger connections with residents, mana whenua, and partner organisations.

3.4 Community Engagement & Stakeholder Relationships:

The Boards commitment to transparency and engagement has been unwavering.

· Mana Whenua: The Board has engaged meaningfully with mana whenua about matters of significance to them.

· Local Organisations: Many community initiatives were supported with Board funding through collaboration with groups like Project Lyttelton, Akaroa Heartlands, Lyttelton Energy Transition Society, Little River Wairewa Community Trust and so many more.

· Residents: Regular public forums, open sessions and collaborative planning have empowered communities to have their say. Residents have presented on topics ranging from road safety and pest control to community art exhibitions and youth initiatives. The Community Board webpage provides an abundance of information about current issues, progress on our priorities, reserve committee activity and livestream video of all meetings and information sessions, ensuring transparency and encouraging community engagement.

3.5 Financial Stewardship and Resource Management:

Financial stewardship has remained important to the Board’s work, with responsible management of funding pools ensuring that resources reached those who needed them most.

· Over the triennium funding has been allocated: Discretionary Response Funding totalling $127,000, Strengthening Communities Funding totalling $504,000 and Better-Off Funds grants totalling $263,000 to support a huge range of community needs.

· The Board has advocated for funding through Annual and Long-Term Plans, securing budget for infrastructure, environmental and community initiatives.

· The Board has ensured transparency in funding decisions and supported community groups in accessing grants.

3.6 In conclusion

The Board has worked collaboratively to bring its Board Plan to life, laying foundations that will enable the incoming Board to build on its legacy – prioritising resilience, community voice, and sustainable development.
