7. Momorangi Reserve play space renewal - concept plan
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/780370
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Barbara Heise, Project Manager Community Parks Play and Recreation
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Mary Richardson, Chief Executive

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board for the proposed concept design for the play space renewal at Momorangi Reserve located at 1A Momorangi Crescent, Redwood.

1.2 The report is staff generated.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Momorangi Reserve - play space renewal concept plan 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 concept design for the play space renewal at Momorangi Reserve as set out in Attachment A to this report.

4. Request staff to proceed with the development of the detailed design and construction phase.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Momorangi Reserve is included in the Community Parks Planned Play Space Renewals. The play space is scheduled to be renewed based on its age and overall condition.

3.2 The renewal will provide significant improvements to the play and recreation needs of the community surrounding the local area.

3.3 Public consultation was conducted from 17 June 2025 - 06 July 2025 and feedback was considered during finalisation of the concept plan (Attachment A).

3.4 The estimated cost of the renewal is expected to be within the approved budget.

3.5 Upon approval of the proposed concept design, the detailed design process will commence. Construction of the proposed design is expected to begin in spring 2025.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Momorangi Reserve at 1 Momorangi Crescent, Redwood, is a corner section, situated in a residential area.

4.2 The reserve currently has a play space consisting of

· a swing set

· a slide and

· two see-saws

A playground in a park

Figure 1: Momorangi Reserve play space

4.3 The renewal will also improve accessibility by providing a connecting path to the play area and an accessible picnic table to provide families with a safe space to gather and share kai.

4.4 A planning check highlighted several location restrictions for the renewal of the play space within the reserve. A draft concept design was developed under consideration of these constraints.

4.5 Public consultation for the play space renewal was conducted through the Korero Mai process via https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz from 17 June 2025 - 06 July 2025. For more details, please refer to the “Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori” below.

4.6 Concurrently, staff have collaborated with a teacher at St Bede’s College, who has a group of students that are keen to get involved and give back to the community. The students are designing and building a picnic table that will be integrated within the reserve to complement the play space renewal.

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

Date	Subject
11 June 2025	Memo - Regency Reserve, Norrie Park and Momorangi Reserve play space renewals - project update

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.8.1 Option 1 – The Community Board adopt the proposed concept design for the Momorangi Reserve play space renewal, allowing commencement of the detailed design and construction to commence in spring 2025.

4.8.2 Option 2 – The Community Board does not approve the concept design and requests that staff consider alternative designs.

4.9 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.9.1 Option 3 – Do nothing, leaving the existing play equipment “as is”

This option was ruled out due to the age of the play space. Equipment would soon become unsafe to play on and would have to be removed from the reserve which in turn would lead to a reduction of the level of services we provide to the community.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.10 Preferred Option: Option 1.

4.10.1 Option Description: The Community Board adopt the proposed concept design and allow the project to progress to detailed design and construction.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

· The community receives a new play space that aligns with feedback provided and creates a space for the wider community to enjoy.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

· No major changes can be made to the concept design without risking delayed delivery or increased costs.

4.11 Alternative Option: Option 2

4.11.1 Option Description: Consideration of alternative design and re-consultation.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

· Consideration of alternative design and re-consultation

· The Community Board could offer an alternative suggestion to the proposed concept design.

· The community could offer additional feedback for inclusion in an alternative design.

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

· This option would impact on the allocated budget as the new playground design and associated cost would be funded from within the current budget. It is likely that this would impact the size and amount of play elements we would be able to include in a revised plan.

· The play space renewal would be delayed by approximately four to six months.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.12 The draft concept design is shown below in figure 2 and attached to this report, refer to Attachment A.

4.13 The layout of the play space has been amended and now shows the equipment grouped in the centre of the reserve. The new layout has been chosen to account for the various site constraints (boundary setback, internal boundary setback, Flood Management Area) and avoid the need for a consent. If consent had been required, the project's cost would have increased, resulting in less funding available for equipment purchases.

Figure 2: Momorangi Reserve– concept plan for approval

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

4.14 The play equipment includes a two-bay swing (with a baby swing, flat seat swing and basket swing), a spinner, a see saw and a climbing structure as well as some nature play (logs and trunks) within the garden bed that will frame the new play space. The exact play items will be selected during the detailed design process and will be dependent on pricing and availability. Staff will endeavour to maximise play value as much as possible within the set budget.

4.15 During public consultation the public was asked to vote on a colour scheme for the play equipment (refer chapter 6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro below for more detail).
The preferred colour scheme was a mix of blue and purple, which will be incorporated into the play space.

4.16 The renewal will also improve accessibility by providing a connecting path to the play area and an accessible picnic table to provide families with a safe space to gather and share kai. The picnic table is designed and manufactured by students at the nearby St Bede’s College. Figure 3 below shows the working drawings for the picnic table.

4.17 The responses from consultation with the public have been considered in the concept plan, including the access path and a seating area that can be used by family as well as high school aged students. Submitters had raised concerns over the maintenance of the play space due to it being a wet site, which should be mitigated by the play space now being centralised and all equipment now being included in the safety surface area (sees saws were previously located on grass). The current site fencing will also be reviewed and repaired, if required, during construction of the new play space.

4.18 Items that had been requested but have not been incorporated in the design include bike stands and a slide. Inclusion of a slide was not possible without triggering the need for a consent due to its large footprint (driven by the free zone required around the swing as per NZ Playground Safety Standards) and was therefore excluded due to the anticipated costs of the consent, as outlined above. Staff chose to include a climbing frame that supports interactive play for multiple children within a smaller footprint. Slides are still available for play at the nearby Owen Mitchell Park, Norrie Park and Regency Reserve play spaces. (Both Regency Reserve and Norrie Park play spaces are scheduled for renewal soon and the addition of another slide could be considered to enhance play options and balance the lack of a slide at Momorangi Reserve play space. The bike racks were excluded from the scope due to cost constraints. However, if savings are identified during the detailed design phase, staff will reconsider their inclusion.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option Option 1 – Renew as per concept plan	Option 2 – Alternative design	Option 3 - Leave “as is”

5.1 The cost to implement is based on an initial estimate and is yet to be confirmed. This usually occurs during the construction tender phase.

5.2 Council staff anticipate being able to manage small budget shortfalls through minor amendments to the play equipment or other suitable measures.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Implementation costs are based on anticipated product supply, installation and wider construction costs. There is a risk that these costs could change due to product availability and supply. Final cost of construction will be confirmed during the tender phase and may vary from the current cost estimate. If costs escalate over the approved budget, Council staff will manage small shortfalls through minor amendments to the design. Should there by major implications to the level of service, Council staff will discuss these with the Community Board before proceeding further with the project

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration or addition to, any structure or area on parks and reserves provided the matter is within the policy and budget set by the Council (Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards – Pg 96).

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

6.3.2 The required decision:

6.3.3 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework that our residents have the opportunity to actively participate in community and city life, have a strong sense of belonging and identity, and feel safe.

6.3.4 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the level of decision impacting on a low number of residents and a small change to the reserve.

6.3.5 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies: Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2022.

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

6.5 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.5.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.0.1 All Community Parks are managed and maintained in a clean, tidy, safe, functional, and equitable manner (Maintenance) - 90% Maintenance Plan key performance indicators are achieved

· Three 5-star ratings

· One 3-star rating

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.15 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.

6.16 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

6.17 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.17.1 Contribute positively to emissions reductions, in that residents will continue to have access a play facility within walking distance and therefore may choose not to drive to other playgrounds.

6.17.2 Additionally adding play value and improved amenities to Community Parks, such as Momorangi Reserve creates a local meeting hub for the community which may encourage families to utilise local facilities and walk/scooter to the park, rather than drive.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If the Community Board approves the proposed concept plan for Momorangi Reserve, Council staff will continue to deliver the play space and progress to the detailed design phase, followed by tendering contracts for delivery and beginning construction in spring 2025.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Ferry Road, between Wilsons Road and Ensors Road, has a poor level of service for pedestrian access evidenced by a history of crashes involving pedestrians. The improvements focus on providing safe mid-block crossing points, footpath connectivity, minor streetscape improvements and mobility impaired access improvements.

3.2 The safe crossing points are designed to facilitate pedestrian access to bus stops pending the rollout of the PT Futures programme. This work aligns with the priorities set out in the Greater Christchurch Public Transport Futures business case, led by New Zealand Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi).

3.3 Ferry Road remains a critical corridor in the PT Futures programme, and staff are currently assessing the optimal timing for its delivery in the context of other bus priority projects identified in the business case.

3.4 The proposed crossing points are in locations of high pedestrian demand and/or located near bus stops to improve access to public transport and access within the local area.

3.5 Minor safety improvements (signage, surfacing and improved line marking) are also proposed at multiple locations within the project area to improve safety at side road intersections and provide smoother footpaths around bus stops.

3.6 The recommended option is to install four pedestrian refuge crossings along this section of Ferry Road, as shown in Attachment A, and further details summarised below:

· Install four pedestrian refuge islands, with speed humps on the approaches, near the following intersections:

· Ferry Road/Mathesons Road/Barbour Street

· Ferry Road/Olliviers Road

· Ferry Road/Bordesley Street

· Ferry Road/Ryan Street

· Tactile pavers, supporting signage, road marking changes, and parking removal to enable the installation of these crossing points.

· It is also proposed to relocate the existing P10 parking outside 268 Ferry Road to outside 276 and 278 Ferry Road.

3.7 Staff recommend the proposed changes, which will improve safety by:

· Installing pedestrian crossing facilities in locations where crossing demand is high, based on pedestrian count data from September 2024.

· Providing traffic calming at all the crossing approaches. This means drivers have more time to react and avoid a crash, and should a crash occur, the impact is less severe.

· Improving access to bus stops, therefore encouraging more people to use public transport.

· Improving safety at side road intersections, particularly for people who cycle along Ferry Road, by installing a stop sign at Mathesons Road and formalising the 'give way' functions at Barbour Street, Grafton Street, Osborne Street and Ryan Street by adding signage, line markings and green surfacing.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 This section of Ferry Road is a major arterial and consists of one traffic lane and a painted cycle lane in each direction. Sections of physical median exist along Ferry Road between Moorhouse Avenue and Mathesons Road and between Grafton Street and Olliviers Road, and a flush median is present in all other locations. Other characteristics include:

· It is a key access route into the central city with an average traffic volume of 20,200 vehicles per day (May 2025), of which 6% are classified as heavy vehicles. This is split into 9,720 vehicles per day eastbound and 10,480 vehicles per day westbound.

· The posted speed limit is 50 km/h, with the 85^th percentile speed being 51 km/h. However, due to congestion, operating speeds are often lower during peak periods.

· The corridor also plays a key part in the Metro Bus Network, with Route 3 and Route 140 travelling along this section of Ferry Road. Route 3 operates on 10-minute headways and has some of the highest patronage on the network.

· Kerbside use consists of sections of time-restricted (P10) parallel parking, unrestricted parking, bus stops and sections of no stopping.

4.2 The current posted speed limit is 50 km/h. A speed survey conducted in May 2025 revealed that the 85th percentile speed (the speed at which 85% of drivers are travelling) is 47.9 km/h in an eastbound direction and 49.9 km/h in a westbound direction. However, due to congestion, travel speeds in the morning and afternoon peak periods are often lower than this, with the speed survey identifying travel speeds of 30km/h in an eastbound direction and 40 km/h in a westbound direction.

4.3 According to the NZTA Crash Analysis System there have been six death or serious injury (DSI) crashes in the ten-year period between 2014 and 2023, on Ferry Road within the project area. Thes include:

· Pedestrian fatality while crossing the road

· Four serious injury crashes involved people who cycle, and an additional serious injury crash involved a motorcycle

· Along with the above, a further 19 minor and non-injury crashes occurred involving people who walk (4 crashes) and cycle (15 crashes)

Crossing demand

4.4 Volumes of people crossing the road were surveyed at various locations along this section of Ferry Road for a 12-hour period (7 am to 7 pm), on a Thursday and a Saturday in September 2024, using cameras. This survey identified the following crossing activity on the Thursday:

· Leyden Street to Philipstown Courts: 344 crossings

· Grafton Street to Short Street: 270 crossings

· Short Street to Osbourne Street: 19 crossings

· Osbourne Street to Isabella Place: 148 crossings

4.5 With the exception of the physical and flush medians, there are no midblock crossing facilities on this section of Ferry Road.

4.6 It is acknowledged that some pedestrians will continue to cross where there are no current formal crossings, however this proposal provides a safe facility for pedestrians in the immediate vicinity of high pedestrian generating destinations.

4.7 The following related memo/information was circulated to the meeting members:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.8.1 Option 1: Four pedestrian refuge crossings (two in the existing flush median and two standalone refuge crossings) with speed humps on approaches (as shown in Attachment A).

4.8.2 Option 2: Install zebra crossings (near Mathesons Road and Olliviers Road) and a pedestrian refuge island near Ryan Street with speed humps on approaches.

4.8.3 Option 3: Do nothing.

4.9 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.9.1 Install two staggered midblock signalised crossings near Mathesons Road and Olliviers Road) - the cost of signalised crossings would exceed the budget available.

4.9.2 Install Swedish tables at the crossing locations instead of speed humps - Swedish tables are preferred by ECan as they have a smother departure angle. However, due to drainage and lighting considerations, the cost of this option would exceed the budget available.

4.9.3 Install the pedestrian refuge crossings with speed cushions on the approaches - speed cushions were considered as they allow buses and other heavy vehicles to straddle the cushions without having to slow down. Despite their advantages, speed cushions were discounted as they are not appropriate when painted on road cycle lanes are present, as both cyclists and vehicles are channelled into the same gaps, increasing the likelihood of conflict occurring.

4.9.4 Install the pedestrian refuge crossings without traffic calming on the approaches – As the posted speed limit is to be retained at 50 km/h, and based on the 85^th percentile speed, this option is not recommended from a safety perspective.

Research from Auckland Transport identifies that if a pedestrian were hit by a vehicle travelling at 50 km/h, there is an 80% chance that this crash would result in a death or serious injury. However, if the speed is reduced to 30 km/h, then there is only a 10% chance that this crash would result in a death or serious injury.

This is publicly available information Safe speeds - the reasons

Based on this, the New Zealand Transport Agency Pedestrian Network Guidance recommends measures to reduce vehicle speeds to 30 km/h at pedestrian crossing places. Pedestrian crossing selection guidance note

The project safety audit identified a significant concern along Ferry Road in relation to vehicle speeds

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.10 Preferred Option: Four pedestrian refuge crossings and minor safety improvements including signage, line marking and sections of footpath resurfacing

4.10.1 Option Description: Active travel safety improvements as shown in Attachment A, including:

· Four pedestrian refuge island crossings located near:

o Ferry Road/Mathesons Road/Barbour Street

o Ferry Road/Olliviers Road

o Ferry Road/Bordesley Street

o Ferry Road/Ryan Street

· The crossings near the Ferry Road/Mathesons Road/Barbour Street and Ferry Road/Olliviers Road intersections will be located in the existing flush median. Stand-alone pedestrian refuge islands will be installed in the existing flush median near the Ferry Road/Bordesley Street and Ferry Road/Ryan Street intersections.

· Speed humps are recommended on the approaches to these crossings to slow vehicle traffic close to the crossing point. Based on the project’s scope, context and budget, speed humps are considered to be the most feasible way of reducing vehicle speeds.

· Sections of kerb repair, footpath resurfacing, no stopping restrictions, signage, tactile pavers and road marking will also be undertaken where necessary to enable the establishment of the above crossing points.

· The street lighting assessment identified that changes to the existing street lighting is not required.

· Installation of the crossing near the Olliviers Road intersection would require the existing P10 parking outside 268 Ferry Road to be relocated to outside 276 and 278 Ferry Road.

· Tactile pavers, minor footpath resurfacing, and line marking improvements would also be undertaken at the four bus stops in the project area.

· Implementing a STOP control on the Mathesons Road to Ferry Road (currently uncontrolled) and GIVE WAY controls on the Barbour Street, Grafton Street, Osborne Street and Ryan Street approaches to Ferry Road (all currently uncontrolled).

· Improving line marking and green cycle surfacing on Ferry Road at its intersections with Leyden Street, Mathesons Road, Olliviers Road, Bordesley Street, Ryan Street, Osborne Street, Grafton Street and Barbour Street intersections to increase awareness at conflict points for people who cycle.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

· Provides four safe and accessible mid-block crossing locations on Ferry Road.

· Aids crossing this heavily trafficked Major Arterial by reducing the crossing distance, enabling people to cross one lane at a time by providing safe places for people to wait in the middle of the road, assisting children and elderly to cross the road.

· Speed humps are effective at reducing speeds on approaches to crossing points therefore increasing crash survivability for people crossing.

· The location of the crossing points has been selected based on reviewing pedestrian desire lines and to improve access to public transport and local businesses.

· The planned changes at side road intersections provide improved safety outcomes through treating known crash locations for people who cycle.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

· The installation of the speed humps which are being installed to improve safety outcomes at the crossings could result in a delay of up to six seconds per vehicle crossing. This is due to the time it takes for a vehicle to decelerate from 50 km/h to a safe speed to traverse the speed hump and to accelerate again after the crossing point. If vehicles are travelling at a speed slower than 50 km/h this delay would be reduced.

Note: - This is in publicly available information from Auckland Transport: https://at.govt.nz/media/pvmaj3jj/210-road-safety-deep-dive.pdf. Evaluation of a demonstration project involving raising 37 zebra crossings showed a reduction from 2.4 serious or fatal crashes/year to 0.4 serious or fatal crashes/year with zero serious pedestrian crashes. Initial results from travel time modelling show most travel time delays fall between three and six seconds per raised device.

· Whilst public feedback was generally in favour of the proposed crossing points there was widespread opposition to the proposed speed humps.

· Removal of 15 carparks to enable clear sightlines at the crossings.

4.11 The following table summarises the different options considered, when compared to the preferred option.

	Option One: Preferred Option	Option Two: Zebra Crossing
Pedestrian crossing provided	Provides 4 non-priority refuge crossings on this section of Ferry Road.	Provides 2 zebra (priority) crossings and 2 non-priority refuge island crossings on this section of Ferry Road.
Crossing distance and accessibility	Enables people to cross one lane of traffic at a time by providing a safe place to wait in the middle of the road.	Zebra crossings are a type of priority crossing which requires vehicles to stop and wait whilst people cross the road. Crossing distances are longer under this option as refuge islands would not be provided (for the zebra crossings).
Speed calming	To align with the safe system principles, traffic calming is provided on the approaches to the crossings. Vehicle speeds where pedestrians cross are likely to be between 30 km/h and 40 km/h, this is the typical speed experienced along this section of Ferry Road during peak periods.	As per Option 1.
Safety	Improves safety outcomes by: o helping reduce the chance of a crash occurring by providing a safe place for people to wait in the central median, meaning they only have to cross one lane of traffic at a time. o slowing vehicles down, the speed humps on approaches mean that if a crash was to occur it would be less likely to result in a fatality o installing minor improvements at side road intersections to address known conflict points for cyclists, thereby reducing the crash risk in these locations. Considerations Due to the high traffic volumes on Ferry Road, it may be difficult for people to find a gap in the traffic to cross and therefore they be more likely to take risks to cross.	Improves safety outcomes by: o installing two zebra crossings which are priority crossings; therefore, vehicles are required to stop and wait whilst people cross the road. o slowing vehicles down, the speed humps on approaches mean that if a crash was to occur it would be less likely to result in a fatality. o installing minor improvements at side road intersections to address known conflict points for people who cycle, reducing the crash risk in these locations. Considerations Due to both high crossing demand and high traffic volumes, there is the potential that vehicles may not stop at the zebra crossings.
Network Impact	Speed humps have some impact on vehicle speeds. A theme that emerged during consultation and stakeholder discussions is that this may result in increased delays on an already congested part of the transport network. An additional consideration with speed humps is that they slow all vehicles down irrespective of whether someone is trying to cross the road or not.	Speed humps have some impact on vehicle speeds.

4.12 Do Nothing Option

4.12.1 Option description: The do-nothing option retains the existing road layout with no planned improvements.

4.12.2 Option advantages

· No (actual or perceived) impact on travel times

· No parking loss

4.12.3 Option disadvantages

· No safe crossing points for pedestrians at mid-block locations on this section of Ferry Road

· Existing safety issues at side road intersections are not addressed

· Potential for conflict to increase as crossing demand increases due to housing densification

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.13 The analysis criteria focused on determining the most appropriate type of crossing facilities based on the New Zealand Transport Agency’s pedestrian crossing selection guidance note, and reviewing crossing demand, potential network impacts, and the projects safety context.

Crossing point selection

4.14 The New Zealand Transport Agency’s pedestrian crossing selection guidance note provides guidance on selecting the most suitable crossing type based on traffic volumes and operating speed. Based on these criteria, the most suitable crossing type would be a raised signalised midblock crossing, with a flush signalised midblock crossing and pedestrian refuge crossings also being appropriate crossing types.

Crossing demand and desire lines

4.15 Crossing locations have been determined based on pedestrian crossing activity and proximity to trip generators such as local businesses and bus stops. A camera survey was undertaken on Thursday 19 and Saturday 21 September 2024 between 7am and 7pm on both days to identify crossing demand and crossing desire lines within the project area. The survey identified the following crossing movements on Thursday 19 September:

· Leyden Street to Philipstown Courts: 344 crossings

· Grafton Street to Short Street: 270 crossings

· Short Street to Osbourne Street: 19 crossings

· Osbourne Street to Isabella Street: 148 crossings

4.16 The survey also identified the main crossing desire lines within each project section, these are:

· Crossing Ferry Road near Matthesons Road

· Crossing Ferry Road near Olliviers Road and Grafton Street

· Near Isabella Place

4.17 Based on the crossing desire lines, the most suitable crossing locations were identified as being as close as possible to these desire lines, while enabling turning movements to and from driveways and minimising parking impacts.

Safety review

4.18 An independent Safe System Assessment was completed as part of the optioneering for the improvements. The Safe System Assessment is a formal examination of a road-related programme, project or initiative that assesses the safety of the existing and the proposed. The process assesses if, and how, existing or future changes aligns with safe system principles with a focus on safer roads and safer speeds.

While the assessment provides a score for the existing arrangement and a score for the options from a total score of 448 (the lower score the safer the outcomes), most areas in the assessment do not apply to this situation and therefore the comparison below uses a total score of 64. A summary of the scores from the Safe System Assessment can be found below

Option	Score
Existing conditions	48/64
Option One: Pedestrian Refuge Islands	30/64
Option Two: Zebra Crossing	24/64
Option ruled out: Refuge crossings without speed humps	42/64

4.19 The change between the existing and the proposed option would see a reduction in score from 48 out of 64 (for the existing) to 24 out of 64 for Option Two and 30 out of 64 for Option One. Therefore, Option One would result in an 18-point reduction, significantly improving safety for people crossing the road, catching the bus, or cycling along this section of Ferry Road. A score of zero or close to zero indicates a high level of alignment with the Safe System.

4.20 While Option Two (zebra crossing) provides more alignment with safe system design principles, the design team considered that it may also increase the risk of conflict between motorists and people waiting to cross the road due to both high crossing demand and high traffic volumes. Therefore, there is the risk that motorists may not stop and let people cross.

4.21 If pedestrian refuge crossings were provided without speed reduction measures on approaches this would result in a safe system assessment score of 42/64, this is 12 points higher than option one. This is because although the crossings would help reduce the likelihood of a crash occurring the severity of any crash would still remain high

4.22 The independent auditor noted that although the speed humps will improve safety outcomes compared to the existing context, by reducing vehicle speeds on approaches to the crossing locations, the safe and appropriate speed for this section of Ferry Road is likely to be 30 km/h. Given the high activity levels (crossing demand and cycle activity) more comprehensive traffic calming should be considered.

4.23 In summary, the Safe System Assessment identified that the proposed pedestrian refuge crossings with speed humps on approaches and associated minor safety improvements would provide improved safety outcomes for people cycling and crossing the road.

Network Impacts

4.24 A challenge facing this section of Ferry Road is the requirement to find a balance between maintaining the level of service provided to vehicles travelling along the corridor, therefore enabling it to function as a major arterial, whilst also providing for the increase in cross-corridor movements from pedestrians. These movements reflect the housing densification of the surrounding neighbourhoods and the increase in local businesses. As housing densification continues, it is assumed that the crossing demand will also increase.

4.25 Based on the reasoning provided in this report, the provision of the pedestrian refuge crossings is considered to be an appropriate treatment to cater for the current crossing demand. Over time, if this demand increases, it may be necessary to consider other crossing types such as a staggered signalised midblock crossing.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 Early engagement with Environment Canterbury (ECan) commenced in April 2025. Council staff met with ECan representatives to present the proposal, outline its objectives and rationale, and respond to preliminary questions. ECan were concerned about the potential of speed humps on Ferry Road to damage their fleet and delay their bus services.

6.10 Consultation started on 6 May and ran until 26 May 2025.

6.11 Consultation details including links to the Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk webpage were advertised via:

· An email sent to 55 key stakeholders, including emergency services, Environment Canterbury and public transport operators, heavy freight and public advocates for different communities, private transport and disability. Local community organisations were sent an email to share online.

· Four local community Facebook group pages.

· Letterbox delivery to all affected properties along the Ferry Road project area.

· Doorknocking 26 affected businesses on Ferry Road. If they were unavailable, information was left inviting them to get in touch.

6.28 The decision affects the following Community Board area:

6.28.1 Waipapa Papanui Innes Central.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.29 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.

6.30 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

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

6.32 The emission reductions associated with this project have not been estimated.

6.15 Improving the ability for people to walk, cycle, scoot and catch the bus are a key part of the Council’s emissions reduction efforts by providing a safe, low emission way for residents to move around the city.

6.16 Improving safety and providing a safer crossing so people feel safer would address some of the barriers to people making sustainable travel choices. Removing these barriers will lead to reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled and consequently emissions from transport.

6.17 The scheme will contribute positively to emission reduction by providing safer pedestrian access to the local neighbourhoods.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved, staff will progress to final detailed design and construction.

7. Approves that these resolutions, described in clauses 3 to 6 above, take effect when traffic controls or parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in the staff report are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Based on a community request and staff investigations, staff are proposing upgrades to bus stop (ID: 51254) on Riccarton Avenue outside Hagley Park North opposite the entrance to Hagley Oval.

3.2 This upgrade has been prioritised based on a community request, surrounding land use (hospital), and patronage.

3.3 The main upgrades include the provision of a bus shelter and a relocation of the bus stop to enable the shelter installation.

3.4 The proposed plan will result in minimal loss of on-street parking, as the current bus stop will be repurposed as unrestricted parking.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The current bus stop has standard line markings and no stopping restrictions. It serves two core bus routes (Routes 3 and 5) and Routes 80 and 86.

4.2 Staff have received a request for installing a shelter from a bus passenger who regularly visits the hospital for ongoing medical treatment.

4.3 A bus stop is deemed well-used if, on average, it serves around 20 or more passengers daily. This is the traditional CCC threshold for bus shelter installation.

4.4 Staff investigations have revealed that, on average, approximately 77 passengers use this bus stop per day.

4.5 In addition to the patronage threshold, staff also consider requests from elderly individuals, schools, hospitals, and people with disabilities, who are highly reliant on public transport.

4.6 Staff therefore propose to install a shelter at this bus stop. As the existing location includes a cycle lane running through the footpath, a relocation of the bus stop is recommended to enable the shelter installation.

4.7 The proposed plan will result in minimal loss of on-street parking, as the current bus stop will be repurposed as unrestricted parking.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.8.1 Installation of a shelter with a relocated bus stop (preferred option).

Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/1320850
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Sally-Ann Marshall, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to extend the No Stopping restrictions on Browns Road at the Innes Road intersection.

1.2 This report has been written in response to safety concerns raised by a member of the public about vehicles parking too close to the intersection and impeding visibility and turning movements.

1.3 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions as shown on Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Browns Road - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the eastern side of Browns Road, commencing at its intersection with Innes Road and extending in a south-easterly direction for a distance of 19 metres, as detailed on Attachment A (H09027228, Issue 2, dated 17/7/2025).

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3 and 4 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by a member of the public regarding vehicles parking just past the speed hump on Browns Road at the intersection with Innes Road.

3.2 The intersection was narrowed when the speed hump was constructed to create a gateway into the residential street from the main road. Vehicles parked here block the road and cause a potential hazard to traffic turning off Innes Road when there are vehicles heading northbound along Browns Road.

3.3 To address this issue, it is proposed to extend the No Stopping restriction on Browns Road at Innes Road intersection.

3.4 The recommended option is to install the No Stopping restriction as shown on Attachment A.

3.5 The recommendations in this report will help to achieve the desired community outcome of a well-connected and accessible city through improved road safety.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Browns Road is classified as a Local Road in Council’s roading hierarchy. Innes Road is a Minor Arterial.

4.2 Both roads have a posted speed limit of 50km/h.

4.3 Browns Road has been previously narrowed to six metres for a length of approximately 14 metres. Beyond this Browns Road is nine metres wide. A speed hump was also constructed at this time to slow traffic turning off Innes Road. There are currently No Stopping restrictions around the intersection. On the west side of the street these have been installed for the length of the narrowed section, however on the east side they end at the speed hump.

4.4 Vehicles parked in the space to the south of the speed hump obscure visibility of northbound vehicles travelling along Browns Road posing a potential hazard to traffic turning off Innes Road. This is due to there not being enough space for vehicles to pass southbound when there are vehicles heading northbound along Browns Road.

4.5 There is also the potential for vehicles to legally park on the speed hump.

4.6 There have been two recorded crashes in the last five years on the section of Browns Road covered in this report. Neither were related to the road layout or caused by a vehicle being parked in the space as discussed above:

· Right turn from Browns Road onto Innes Road – did not see cyclist due to sun strike (minor).

· Left turn from Innes Road - driver lost control reaching for something within the vehicle and hit a power pole (non-injury).

4.7 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).

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved, staff will arrange for new road markings to be installed.

3.6 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.6.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan

· Mairehau Community Library AGM

Mairehau Community Library held its AGM on 18 July, which saw a good turnout of volunteers in attendance, highlighting the important place the library has in the local community.

· Gear Up Ōtautahi

Last month Gear Up was fortunate to get a big drop of balls from the University of Canterbury Faculty of Health.

Thanks to Shonny for dropping them off. They will be topping up the ball bin at MacFarlane Park this week.

· CHS Avebury Climate Resilient Garden

New signage has been erected at Avebury House regarding the CHS Avebury Climate Resilient Garden, which is a collaborative project by Canterbury Horticultural Society to create and maintain an ornamental garden which showcases a wide variety of plants that are resilient in Christchurch’s changing climate.

The site of the old community garden has been cleared to make way for the garden design, which is shown in the new signage, so watch this space.

· Northern Line Cycleway Railway Crossing Upgrades Complete and Commissioned

The commissioning process for the new signalised cyclist/pedestrian crossings and automatic railway gates along the Northern Line cycleway route was completed as planned on 15 July, and therefore the Railway Crossing Upgrades at Harewood Road, Langdons Road and Sawyers Arms Road are now operational.

This has been a successful collaborative project between the Council, KiwiRail, Fulton Hogan and Peloton (Designer) teams, which will result in safer journeys for road, path and rail users in the community.

· Parks Update

The Community Partnership Rangers continue their collaborative work with the community around the greenspaces in the Board area:

Oliviers Reserve – there was a working bee at Oliviers Reserve on 18 July with Phillipstown Hub and community member, Gerard Murnane.

They worked together with the Ranger to do some maintenance work and weeding – the Ranger noting that Gerard also went down a few times by himself to plant some polyanthus flowers in the garden beds.

Rutland Reserve – a planting was held on 27 July with the Vanuatu community in Rutland Reserve. Around 600 native plant species were planted in the wetland area, and a gifted kahikatea tree that the community brought was planted as a commemorative tree to honour their language being added into the Ministry of Pacific People's language week series. (The Urban Forest team will follow up with planting three larger grade kahikatea trees around it.)

· Community Liaison Hui

On Thursday 31 July a community liaison hui was held with representatives of community groups from the Papanui-Innes-Central area interested to connect and exchange information about local initiatives and activities.

The Community Governance Team arranged with Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi to hold the hui in the Hine Atawhai (chapel) on their site, and the kōrero with the aid of some kia in that setting was well attended and well received.

3.6.2 Council Engagement and Consultation

· Lancaster Park play space (closes 10 August 2025)

Lancaster Park is under redevelopment, with planting, new sports grounds and restoration of the heritage gates complete, and construction of the community centre and changing rooms underway.

It’s now time to start planning the play spaces for the park.

In 2022, Christchurch City Council asked the community to help shape the future of Lancaster Park through the Community Spaces Plan. Residents shared their ideas for creating a welcoming and inclusive community park, including a play space for young people.

Ideas have been developed for play opportunities for all park users, from the youngest tamariki to older generations. Community feedback will help refine the plans for Board consideration.

Due to a change in government legislation, the Council needs to re-consult on previously approved speed reductions around the new stadium.

3.7.1 Climate action

The Board’s vision statement reflects its commitment to supporting the Ōtautahi Christchurch Climate Resilience Strategy's climate goals and the Ōtautahi-Christchurch Urban Forest Plan.

A key resource for understanding the Council’s targets, what it's doing, how emissions are tracking, and finding relevant community events and activities, is the Council’s Climate Action webpage.

We’ve got greenhouse gas emission reduction targets to aim for. Find out here where our emissions come from and how we’re tracking them within the Council and across the Christchurch district.

We need everyone to play their part to reach our targets. These online tools can help you measure and reduce your household or business greenhouse gas emissions:

· Future Fit household emissions calculator

· Sustainable Business Network Climate Action Toolbox

Whether you are going to work or school, choose ways that are better for you and our environment. For more information, visit getting to work or getting to school.

We also recognise that our tamariki and rangatahi are the leaders of tomorrow. The Learning Through Action programme encourages students to get creative and find innovative ideas for meaningful climate action.

Prepare for the impacts of climate change

· We’re already feeling the effects of a changing climate in the form of wetter winters, and hotter, drier and longer summers. Find out more here, and browse the Christchurch District Risk Screening Report (2022), which identifies how climate change will affect our natural and built environments. The document is based on the latest scientific information and input from key agencies in the region.
