Board Consideration The Board considered the submissions and deputation on this project (refer Item 5.2 above), as well as the attached staff presentation, before resolving to accept the Officer Recommendations, subject to Resolution 44 below. This resolution requests staff to further investigate the pedestrian refuge crossing point closest to Ryan Street (including a ‘keep clear’ area) and bring just this crossing back to the Board for further consideration before it can be constructed. The deputation raised concerns in respect of the impact of the pedestrian island on right turns out of Ryan Street. In response, the Board approved the recommended scheme to progress to detailed design on the proviso that just this section of the scheme would not be constructed until the Board had received further advice and had the opportunity to reconsider it. The Board did not limit the scope of what might be reconsidered for this section of the scheme, though investigation of a ‘keep clear’ area and/or shifting the provisionally approved pedestrian crossing devices from just west of the Ryan Street intersection to its east side, or moving them further west, was the primary focus of the request to address the concern raised in the deputation. |

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 Council has allocated funding, through the Long-Term Plan, for a community facility on Shirley Community Reserve.
3.2 The Waipapa Community Board, in its Community Board Plan 2023-25, has recognised Shirely Community Reserve as a priority project.
3.3 Recommendations, from a 2024 feasibility study, were for a mixed-use approach for Shirley Community Reserve to create a public place to support recreation, play and social connections. This includes a small community building and enhanced reserve facilities.
3.4 At its meeting on 13 June 2024, the Waipapa Community Board resolved that staff:
3.4.1 …initiate the process to design an ‘on budget community building’ on Shirley Community Reserve that will enable a mixed use of the Reserve and support recreation, play and social connections. This is subject to Council bringing back the budget for the facility to financial years 2024/25, 2025/26 and 2026/27 in the 2024/34 LTP.
3.4.2 … identify an appropriate community partner/ operator to progress the development of the community facility at Shirley Community Reserve and report this back to the Board.
3.4.3 … provide an update to the Board on a quarterly basis.
3.5 The Waipapa Community Board requested staff to establish a Shirley Working Group made up of local community members to advise on the development concept, ensuring the design reflects community needs.
3.6 At their meeting in July, a majority of the Working Group endorsed a developed design of the facility, which is included in this report as Attachment A.
3.7 The endorsement of the Working Group was not unanimous, four members endorsed the plans, two members did not endorse the plans, and two members of the Working Group were not present.
3.8 A budget of $3,705,000 for the proposed development of a community facility at Shirley Community Reserve, is available. Staff note that the design endorsed by the Shirley Working Group can be delivered within the 2024–34 LTP budget.
3.9 A full cost estimate cannot be completed until the Detailed Design has been reviewed and approved. (The Detailed Design is the final phase of the design process which is then used for the consent application and tender.)
3.10 The high-level cost estimate based on the developed design for construction, received by a Quantity Surveyor, is within budget at $1.6M.
3.11 Some members of the Working Group asked about expanding the building in the future. Consequently, after consultation with the Geotechnical Engineer, the Architect marked up a drawing showing where the building could be extended (see Attachment B).
3.12 Architect drawings of an expanded building were received after the Working Group’s final meeting, and after the Working Group’s endorsement of the developed design. Drawings have not been shared with the Working Group and the Working Group did not consider the merits or not of an expanded building.
3.13 Also discussed throughout the Working Group meetings was an outdoor rotunda-type structure. The rotunda was conceived as a covered place for young people who use the Shirley Reserve. It was envisaged to be constructed in a sympathetic manner to the proposed community facility. While this was not included in the endorsed developed design, a concept sketch has been prepared and is attached as Attachment C.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 The Shirley Community Centre, located on Shirley Community Reserve, was damaged in the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes and subsequently demolished in 2012.
4.2 Between 2012 to 2016, Council staff explored options for a third party funded and managed facility with a proposal from faith-based organisation, the Crossway Group, explored and ultimately rejected by the Papanui-Innes Community Board.
4.3 In 2019, a Shirley Community Centre Feasibility Study identified a Council-owned facility at this site was not required due to an increase in community facilities in the area with a number of newly built, in-construction and planned facilities since the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. Staff recommended the ongoing retention of the site as an outdoor community hub.
4.4 In 2020, the Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board led a community consultation on the future use of the Shirley Community Reserve. Thematic analysis of the 58 submissions identified an equal split between replacing the community centre and developing outdoor community opportunities.
4.5 In its Community Board Plan 2023-25, the Waipapa Community Board recognised that Shirely Community Reserve is a priority project.
4.6 In 2024, an updated feasibility study was completed. The study considered incorporating the current Shirley Library into a future facility at Shirley Reserve but found there was no clear evidence to support a change the location and amenities of Shirley Library and Service Centre.
4.7 The feasibility study stated that the existing Shirley Library and Service Centre is successful and well used by the community, benefitting from the advantages of being located adjacent to The Palms shopping mall, positioned on main travel routes with ample parking.
4.8 Analysis of consultation feedback undertaken as part of the feasibility study showed that younger age groups tend to support outdoor activities on Shirely Reserve, while older age groups tend to seek indoor spaces.
4.9 When asked what was important for the Council to consider in the development of Shirley Community Reserve there was a common theme across the age groups. The community identified a need for a shared public space that is a safe and welcoming environment to support play, recreation, community activation and connection.
4.10 The feasibility study recommended a mixed-use approach for the Reserve that included an improved outdoor recreation and reserve area, along with a small community building on the site which will connect with and complement an enhanced outdoor reserve.
4.11 On the basis of this, on 13 June 2024, the Community Board resolved to “…initiate the process to design an ‘on budget community building’ on Shirley Community Reserve that will enable a mixed use of the Reserve and support recreation, play and social connections.”
Shirley Working Group
4.12 To aid the design process, the Waipapa Community Board requested staff establish a Shirley Working Group. The Shirley Working Group was to consist of local community members and three community board members, its kaupapa was to advise on the development concept, ensuring the design reflects community needs.
4.13 The Shirley Working Group met on three occasions, discussing various aspects of the proposed community facility, including external appearance, internal layout and sustainability features of the facility.
4.14 At their final meeting in July 2025, a majority of the Working Group endorsed a developed design of the facility, which is included in this report as Attachment A.
4.15 The endorsement of the Working Group was not unanimous, four members endorsed the plans, two members did not endorse the plans, and two members of the Working Group were not present.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the planting of new trees within Papanui Domain using the attached tree planting plan.
1.2 The report is in response to the adoption of the Urban Forest Plan which seeks to increase canopy cover across the city by 40%.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:
1. Receives the information in the Urban Forest Tree Planting Plan for Papanui Domain 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 planting and removal of trees within Papanui Domain in alignment with the planting plan at Attachment A.
3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 The Urban Forest Plan was adopted in 2023 and includes an objective of increasing canopy cover within our parks from 23% to 40% by 2070. To meet this objective, Council has implemented an Urban Forest Tree Planting program which requires trees to be planted by 2040, so they grow large enough to meet the canopy cover target by 2070.
3.2 As part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program, staff have developed a plan to plant new trees in Papanui Domain.
3.3 While the plan is primarily focused on the planting of new trees, it also includes a proposal to remove and replace an existing row of trees currently bordering the sport field.
3.4 All plantings will follow our general guidelines for planting including the use of recession planes to assist in determining the size and location of trees. The recession plane modelling used to develop the planting plan is the same as used for building new residential home.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 A planting plan was developed for Papanui Domain as part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program with an emphasis on increasing canopy cover both within the reserve and within the wider area.
4.2 The planting plan proposes to plant 62 new trees which will increase the canopy cover in Papanui Domain from 40% to 55% once they reach maturity..
4.3 The images below show the proposal for the planting and what modelling estimates it to look like once the trees have reached maturity:
![]()
![]()
Image one: Aerial view of the existing reserve. Image two: Aerial view of the reserve with the proposed new trees included at maturity.
4.4 The feedback received was largely positive with only two requests from submitters about choosing more evergreen tree species to reduce impacts of leaf drop and to consider the proposed planting around the softball pitch further as the submitter viewed it as impeding the sports area.
4.5 Papanui High School and Papanui Softball Club support the removal of trees along the Southern fence line (bordering the school). The Papanui Tigers Rugby League club did not provide any comment on the plan.
4.6 Staff will be maintaining all trees once planted for the first seven years using our own in-house team. Maintenance will include watering, pruning and mulching. After seven years the trees will be inputted to our contracted maintenance program.
4.7 The plan has been developed using a recession plane to help reduce shading impact. While we cannot avoid shading all together, this model does assist in ensuring it is managed to the same extent as would occur if a resident’s neighbour was constructing a new building.
4.8 As the feedback on the planting was positive, staff are not proposing any changes to the proposed plan.
Tree Removal
4.9 The proposal includes the removal of 29 mature trees located along the boundary between the park and Papanui High School.
4.10 The trees are located very close to the dead ball line of the sport field and due to the species and proximity to the sport field, they have made the ground dry, hard and unsuitable for the surface.
4.11 This impacts on the playability of the field and efforts to fix the surface in situ as any works would require extensive excavations within the root zones of the trees.
4.12 Options to move the fields or alter their orientation were explored however due to the shape of the park and the desire to retain two full sized senior league fields, this was not possible.
4.13
4.14 The trees are being considered for removal under 4.7 of the Councils tree policy which states:
“Approval by Council for the removal of trees to facilitate projects on council land will take into account the value of the project to the community, including public health and/or the local environment and considerations taken for retaining existing trees compared with the loss of the benefits provided by the trees. “
4.15 The group of trees is made up of 28 Macrocarpa trees and a single Oak tree. Macrocarpa are a fast growing species that is commonly found throughout New Zealand. This species of tree has a dense canopy and root system which commonly causes a dry and hard ground surface within their immediate environment. The oak is on the corner of the field and efforts will be made to retain this tree if possible to do so while undertaking repairs to the field and its drainage.
4.16 While the stand of trees provide benefits in the form of shade and wind protection, they are also having a negative impact on both the users of the park (due to damage to the sport field) and the school grounds next door (in the form of shading their Athletics track).
4.17 Council staff have consulted with Canterbury Rugby League association about priorities of field improvements and this was identified as their number one priority to have the field upgraded.
4.18 The primary issues with the fields are the hard surface in the in goal areas which is largely attributed to the stand of macrocarpa trees. In order to upgrade the field and address the issue, the area will need to be excavated and roots pruned. Based on Arboricultural advice, this will have a significant impact on the trees health and potential stability due to the proximity of the fields.
4.19 An alternative solution that was considered was to remove one field and reorientate the second field to move it clear of the trees. The Canterbury League Club have stated they require two fields in this location as they are already at capacity particularly on Saturday mornings where they will have more than one game playing.
4.20 Another consideration was to reduce the size of the field however this would mean the field is no longer the regulation size. The Rugby League Club did not support this either.
4.21 The new proposed trees are located in similar locations to the line of Macrocarpa trees and are expected to provide similar benefits once they reach maturity. As the trees will be smaller in stature and a species with a less dense canopy, the trees will not have the same negative impacts.
4.22 If the removal is approved, staff will be investigating how the timber may be re-purposed.
Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.23 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:
4.23.1 Approve the Papanui Domain Planting Plan and implementation.
4.23.2 Decline Tree Removal and only proceed with the planting of trees outside of the area where the trees are currently located.
4.23.3 Decline the Papanui Domain Planting Plan.
4.24 The following options were considered but ruled out:
4.24.1 Proceed without the removal of the trees- This was not considered viable as a majority of the trees are within the area that is currently taken up by the trees.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
4.25 Preferred Option: Approve the Papanui Domain Planting Plan and implementation.
4.25.1 Option Description: Approve the plan in its current form.

4.25.3 Option Disadvantages
· Some may see the planting of trees presents a loss of open space.
4.26 Decline tree removal and only approve some of the new trees
4.26.1 Option advantages
· Trees will be retained
· Some new planting will be included which will result in an overall increase in tree canopy.
4.26.2 Option disadvantages
· Sport field will need to either remain in its current state or alignment will need to be shifted which will result in a field being removed from the site.
· Highschool next door has expressed their support for the removals as it will reduce shading on their athletics track.
4.27 Decline the Papanui Domain Planting Plan.
4.27.1 Option Description: Decline the plan and require no trees to be planted.
4.27.2 Option Advantages
· Open space within the park would be retained
· Council would save costs that are associated with the planting.
4.27.3 Option Disadvantages
· The local area will be deprived of the benefits that trees provide.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
6.7 Early feedback on the proposed plan was sought from the Papanui Tigers Rugby League Club and Papanui Softball Club. The Papanui Softball Club had no concerns about the proposal and stated the removal of the trees on the southern fence line (bordering Papanui High School) would be beneficial. The Papanui Tigers League club did not respond to requests for comment.
6.8 Staff sought additional feedback from Papanui High School about the removal of the trees on the bordering fence line. The school supports the proposal to remove the trees as they create a lot of shade and wet areas on their running track adjacent to the fence line.
6.9 Public consultation started on 8 May and ran until 26 May.
6.10 An email was sent to four key stakeholders and an automated email was also sent to 84 subscribers

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the approval of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to install no stopping restrictions on Windermere Road in the vicinity of the Bellevue Care Centre and Retirement Village.
1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the village community. Their concerns are related to vehicles parking to close to the access restricting visibility.
1.3 To address these issues, it is proposed to install no stopping restrictions on Windermere Road at the Bellevue Care Centre and Retirement Village exit onto Windermere Road.
1.4 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 Windermere 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.
3. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolution 4 below.
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 western side of Windermere Road, commencing at a point 139 metres north-west of its intersection with Blighs Road and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 24 metres, as detailed on Attachment A (Plan 1365824, Issue 2, dated 04/08/2025).
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. Background/Context Te Horopaki
3.1 Windermere Road is a local road with a posted speed limit of 50km/h.
3.2 Staff have visited the site on several occasions to view the traffic and parking situation. Parking demand is relatively high in the area due to various workers vehicles and residential parking.
3.3 Bellevue Care Centre and Retirement Village is a large complex providing a range of accommodation and care services for the elderly. As a result, the site is anticipated to have a high proportion of elderly and visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area using the access.
3.4 Visibility can be limited for vehicles exiting the retirement village onto Windermere Road by vehicles parking close to the access. Typically, parking demand is occurring close to the access as this provides the shortest walking distance to access the site.
3.5 Traffic counts have been undertaken to measure speed and volume. Over a 7-day period the recorded average speed was 38.2km/h, and the 85th percentile speed was 46.1km/h. The average daily traffic volume was 1,085.
3.6 Staff consider the length of no stopping proposed to be appropriate considering the traffic speeds and volumes.
3.7 The proposal will remove approximately three parking spaces.
3.8 The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Crash Analysis System (CAS) database shows there have been no recorded crashes in the last six years on the section of Windermere Road covered in this report.
3.9 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).

5.4 The required decisions:
5.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.
5.4.2 The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.
5.4.3 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
5.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):

o Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network (DIA 1) - 4 less than previous FY
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
5.7 The requests for additional no stopping restrictions were initiated by the management and residents of the Bellevue Care Centre and Retirement Village.
5.8 The preferred option plan was circulated within the Village by management - all responses and interactions with Council staff were considered to be supportive of the preferred option being implemented.
5.9 Following consultation, the length of no stopping on the southside of the access was made shorter by five metres, being mindful of the parking loss in the area. Staff consider that the new length proposed is sufficient to provide additional visibility whilst still requiring vehicles to pause before exiting. Village management are supportive of the preferred option.
5.10 Directly affected residents and property owners were notified of the proposal by letter. We received four responses:
· One in support. Submission stated, this should happen before someone has an accident. They would also like to have seen the restriction on the north side extended. Considering the traffic volumes and speeds, staff consider that the length of no stopping proposed is sufficient to provide additional visibility whilst still requiring vehicles to pause before exiting.
· Three against. This feedback is presented in full in Attachment B. The main points being that:
o It is mainly village staff that are parking here, and they should have to park on-site. Staff response: The village manager has commented that although some of their staff park here, others also use Condell Avenue or do not drive. We cannot say categorically that it is always staff as residents also park here, and they are able to park on the road as this is public space. The issue is that visibility is affected when any vehicle is parked in this location.
o The road is narrow, and the lack of driveways along the village front on the west side do not provide adequate places to allow vehicles to pass. Staff response: Windermere Road is nine metres wide, which is wide enough for two vehicles to pass slowly with vehicles parked on either side. The proposed restriction will also open up more space on the west side to alleviate this issue.
o That previous objections to the villages resource consent had been made including the lack of on-site parking for staff. They note that they thought on-site parking was increased to include spaces for staff. Staff response: The retirement village resource consent was granted after a commissioner’s decision in 2017. It appears from aerial photographs that there are the same number of parking spaces as per the 2017 consent final decision – 80 parking spaces (RMA 2016/1377 and 2021/675). There is provision for staff parking, though as noted above some do park on the surrounding streets.
o That a time restriction should also be considered so that only visitors and street residents can park on the street. Staff response: If the no stopping restriction is approved, we can monitor the effects on parking in the wider area to see if timed parking restrictions are needed. This is not something that has been brought to our attention previously, and any time restriction implemented would also apply to residents.
o That the same provision, i.e. no stopping restrictions should be considered for residents’ properties. Staff response: We are proposing to install a no stopping restriction at the Bellevue exit due to the number of vehicle movements associated with the retirement village. We do not install no stopping restrictions at private driveways. This is already covered by the “one metre” rule (as defined in the Land Transport “Road User” Rule 2004) and non-compliance with this is managed by Councils parking enforcement team.
5.11 Management of the Bellevue Care Centre and Retirement Village supports the preferred option.
5.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.13 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.

5.14 The decisions do not involve a significant decision concerning ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
5.15 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
5.16 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the approval of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to install no stopping restrictions on Sails Street at the Golden Age Retirement Village access.
1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the Golden Age Retirement Village community. Their concerns are related to vehicles parking close to the access restricting visibility.
1.3 To address these issues, it is proposed to install no stopping restrictions on Sails Street at the Golden Age Retirement Village access.
1.4 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions as shown on Attachment A.
1.5 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:
1. Receives the information in the Sails Street - 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.
3. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolution 4 below.
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 Sails Street, commencing at its intersection with Harewood Road and extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 40 metres, as detailed on Attachment A (Plan 1366313, Issue 2, dated 4/8/2025) to the report on the meeting agenda.
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. Background/Context Te Horopaki
3.1 Sails Street is a local road with a posted speed limit of 40km/h.
3.2 Staff have visited the site on several occasions to view the traffic and parking situation. Parking demand is relatively high in the area due to various workers vehicles and residential parking.
3.3 Golden Age Retirement Village is a large complex providing a range of accommodation and care services for the elderly. As a result, the site is anticipated to have a high proportion of elderly and visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area using the access.
3.4 Visibility can be limited for vehicles exiting the retirement village onto Sails Street by vehicles parking close to the access. Typically, parking demand is occurring close to the access as this provides the shortest walking distance to access the site.
3.5 Traffic counts have been undertaken to measure speed and volume on Sails Street. Over a 7-day period the recorded average speed was 30.4km/h, and the 85th percentile speed was 35.3km/h. The average daily traffic volume was 1,330.
3.6 Staff consider the length of no stopping proposed to be appropriate considering the traffic speeds and volumes.
3.7 The proposal will remove approximately three parking spaces.
3.8 The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Crash Analysis System (CAS) database shows there have been no recorded crashes in the last six years on the section of Sails Street covered in this report.
3.9 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).

5.4.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.
5.4.2 The recommendations in this report are consistent with the Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy.
5.4.3 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact and low number of people affected by the recommended decision.
5.5 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
5.6 Transport
5.6.1 Activity: Transport
· Level of Service: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network (DIA 1) - 4 less than previous FY
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
5.8 A plan was sent to the village management showing the proposals. They asked if we could shorten the length of no stopping on the north side of the access, being mindful of the parking loss in the area. Staff have reduced the no stopping by five metres and consider that the new length proposed is sufficient to provide additional visibility whilst still requiring vehicles to pause before exiting. Village management are supportive of the preferred option.
5.9 Directly affected residents and property owners were notified of the proposal by letter. We had not received any feedback at the time of writing this report.
5.10 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.
5.11 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
· Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
5.12 The decisions do not involve a significant decision concerning ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.
5.13 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
5.14 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.
5.15 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address safety concerns at this location. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not intended to have any impact on climate change.

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira
3.4 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.5 The significance level was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.

Discussion Kōrerorero
3.7 At its meeting on 14 August 2025, the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board resolved to allocate $4,500 from its 2025-26 Discretionary Response Fund towards Summer with your neighbours
3.8 Summer with your neighbours is about bringing people closer together and celebrating the unique and diverse mix of each neighbourhood. It invites residents to consider whether they have ever wanted to organise a neighbourhood gathering or get to know the people who live close to them. This popular event has grown from year to year and is promoted by the Council.
3.9 Previous applicants, local community groups, including Residents Associations, have been sent information inviting them to apply for the Summer with your neighbours funding. Staff also promoted the fund through social media and other networks.
3.10 Summer with your neighbours will run from 25 October 2025 to 30 March 2026. Applications for funding opened on 12 July 2025 and closed on 10 August 2025.
3.11 By the closing date, 30 eligible applications had been received, and three late applications were received after the closing date. Staff have assessed the applications to ensure that they meet the Summer with your neighbours’ guidelines and recommended an amount to be allocated to each application.
3.12 Request for funding from the 33 applicants totalled $4,092.50 and is less than the amount allocated for distribution.
To create consistency in staff recommendations across the city, staff recommendations are based on the following formula:
· Up to $2.50 per head to a maximum of $200.
· When the requested amount is less than the $2.50 per head formula, the requested amount is what staff have recommended.
· Where two approximate attendee numbers have been noted, recommendations are based on the higher approximate figure.
3.13 A summary outlining the applications and staff recommendations is attached (refer Attachment A), together with the Summer with your neighbours Guidelines (refer Attachment B).

Above is a list of YDF grants over the last financial year and below is a summary of the background to the YDF recipients over the last month.
· Charlotte Nelson
Charlotte is a 15-year-old student. She has been actively developing her leadership skills through the Duke of Edinburgh's Award programme and is on track to complete the Silver Award this year.
Participating in the ten-day voyage sailing around the Bay of Islands will be a great opportunity for Charlotte to challenge herself. She is looking forward to immersing herself in a diverse community, learning from others with different backgrounds and cultures, as well as growing her leadership skills for the future.
Charlotte has a passion for science and hopes to pursue a career working closely with people in a scientific field, and is taking the appropriate subjects at school. Her extracurricular activities include dancing (contemporary, jazz, and musical theatre), aerobics, netball in the winter, and interclub tennis in the summer.
· Malachi Mackie-Walker
Malachi is an 11-year-old student. He is the oldest of five siblings and loves music, sports, and kapa haka. His goal is to become an NRL player eventually.
In the meantime, he has been selected for multiple tournaments through school and his league club as follows:
- The Aimz Games in Tauranga from 31 August to 5th September
- The U12s Maori tournament in Rotorua from 26-28 September
- The Global Games tournament in Queenstown from 16-17 October
- Oceania Tag Tournament in Auckland from 5-7 December
· Ruby Cutbush
Ruby is a 16-year-old student. In 2024, Ruby represented Tongan Basketball at the FIBA Oceania Cup, where on their debut her team won the bronze medal, which also qualified them for entry to the FIBA Asia Cup in Malaysia 2025.
Ruby recently won a silver medal at the
2025 NZ Basketball Nationals as a member of the Canterbury U18A team and is
also a Development Player for the Checkers Women’s Premier team. In 2024,
Ruby represented Canterbury Basketball for their U16A team.
This year, Ruby was selected to join the Tatai Whetu Waitaha programme, which
supports athletes on their pathways to success. She trains twice a week at the
Koha gym with a personalised Tatai Whetu trainer and is concentrating on
training for her Premier team and doing her own daily training.
· Lauren Dyet
Lauren is a very active member of the Korfball community and has played,
coached and managed school teams for the last few years and takes every
opportunity to be involved. Currently Lauren attends a minimum of two training
sessions per week, one game per weekend as well as participating in regular
tournaments.
The team are fundraising via various methods (sausage sizzles, Got Your Back
T-shirts) and Lauren is also using her earnings as a Nanny to help as well.
· Zoe Drennan
Zoe is a 12-year-old student and is a member of the Full Force Hip Hop crew which trains at the Anna Lee School of Dance. Her dancing passion started at three years old with ballet. Zoe then progressed to jazz and hip hop at seven years old with hip hop now being her main passion.
The Full Force crew recently won their division at the New Zealand Hip Hop Unite national dance championships which meant they were selected as part of Team New Zealand to represent Aotearoa at the HHU World Dance Championships to be held in Prague. The crew also recently competed in the Australian Dance Crew Championships where Full Force won their division again and Zoe won the Hip Hop solo dance and was also awarded Top Junior Dancer.
Zoe trains in hip hop for five hours a week which always ramps up prior to competitions. Being part of the Full Force crew means the world to Zoe and to get the chance to dance with them on the world stage is a once in a lifetime opportunity. When Zoe’s not dancing, she’s on the netball court with her Marist club team or spending time with her family and Tigger the cat.
· Mia Black
Mia is an 11-year-old Year 6 student and is also a member of the Full Force Hip Hop crew. Mia says dancing with the Full Force crew makes her feel happy, confident, and motivated. She feels the experience of performing in front of such a big audience will help her grow, stay calm under pressure and feel more confident. The crew is teaching her how important it is to work as a team. Mia also enjoys playing badminton and netball—they’re super fun and a great way to stay active. “I really like being part of a team and working together to win.”
