1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide the Road Closure
Subcommittee with information to enable the Subcommittee to decide on the
application for proposed road closures for Coca Cola Christmas in the Park .
The proposed closures are to provide a safe separated space to facilitate
access and egress for event attendees and to provide additional capacity for
pedestrians due to road environment constraints.

Street from Park Terrace to Cramner Square
· Armagh Street from Park Terrace to Cramner Square
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Road
Closure Subcommittee:

Temporary Road Closure for Coca Cola Christmas in the Park Report.
2. Authorises the approval of the temporary
road closures for Coca Cola Christmas in the Park, proposed to be deployed from
9pm to 11:30pm on Saturday 29 November 2025, with a contingency day to be
Sunday 30 November 2025:
a. Park Terrace from Kilmore Street to Armagh Street
b. Rolleston Avenue from Armagh Street to Gloucester Street

3. Background/Context Te Horopaki
3.1 The
event organisers have indicated that they have undertaken direct notifications
to impacted parties, which is required as part of the road closure application
process. The event organisers will provide a record of any feedback received,
from impacted parties to the Subcommittee in advance of the scheduled meeting
or the organisers may present the information in person to the Subcommittee.
3.2 Public
notification was carried out through publication in The Press and on the
Council website. The period allowing for objections to be received meets the
minimum required of one week. The application was publicly advertised in The
Press on 23 October 2025 with objections closing 30 October 2025.
3.3 There
were no objections received by Council, as a result of the public notifications
process.
3.4 The
Christchurch tram has been in discussions with the event organisers and a plan
is in place to facilitate tram movements as needed.
3.5 Road
closures for this event have previously been approved by the Road Closure
Subcommittee at this location, with no unexpected impacts regarding traffic
movements, reported in the area. The proposed closures for the 2025 event are
less than previous years due to a desire to reduce the impact on the
surrounding transport at the egress phase of the event and reduce congestion on
Victoria Street and Montreal Street. Park Terrace will operate as a one way
system for north bound traffic to allow an alternate North bound movement to
reduce impacts generated at the end of the event, whilst still providing
additional space for pedestrian egress at the Bealey Avenue / Harper Avenue
Intersection.
3.6 Staff
support the proposed temporary road closures and believe that it will not
unreasonably impact traffic.
