3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Improvements to the Burwood Road/Mairehau Road intersection have been under consideration for a number of years, as this intersection provides a poor level of service for people who walk and cycle. This project has considered options that would improve access and safety outcomes for vulnerable road users whilst aiming to minimise the impacts on other road users.

3.2 The project objectives are:

· Enhanced safety for all pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users, particularly wheelchair users,

· Footpaths, cycle lanes, crossing points and other pedestrian / cycle infrastructure at the intersection are enhanced,

· Negative impacts on vehicle access are minimised.

3.3 Three options have been developed. These are:

· Improvements to the existing roundabout & pedestrian refuge on Burwood Road

· Signalisation of the intersection & pedestrian refuge on Burwood Road

· Do nothing

3.4 Both of the “change” options include a pedestrian refuge island on Burwood Road to improve access to Burwood Hospital and nearby bus stops.

3.5 Both of the “change” options achieve the project's objectives but do so in different ways and have different impacts, and this is why both options were progressed through to consultation.

3.6 The recommended option is for improvements to the existing roundabout, as shown in Attachment A, and for the installation of a pedestrian refuge island outside the hospital, as shown in Attachment B. Note that speed humps are recommended on approaches to both the roundabout and the refuge island.

3.6.1 Staff have recommended this option due to the improved safety and modelled traffic flows, and feedback from key stakeholders. Noting that this option also fits within the project budget, and can be delivered more quickly and with less disruption as it does not require overhead lines to be diverted.

3.6.2 However, staff also note that the majority of consultation respondents did not select this option

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Local and Network Context

4.1 Along with enabling access to the local area, the intersection is adjacent to land uses of regional importance such as the Burwood Hospital campus, The New Zealand Spinal Trust, the Champion Centre and Peke Waihanga Artificial Limb Service.

4.2 The intersection operates on a constrained footprint and is ‘locked in’ by private property, Burwood Hospital and utilities such as cell phone towers and underground and overhead services. This constrained footprint impacts the efficiency of the intersection and limits the options available for its development.

4.3 The intersection currently functions as a roundabout with notable features including:

4.3.1 Approximately 8,000 vehicles pass through the intersection daily. Burwood Road (north of the intersection) and Mairehau Road are classified as Minor Arterial Roads. South of the intersection, Burwood Road is classified as a Collector Road. The posted speed limit on all intersection approaches is 50 km/h, with the 85^th percentile speed being between 50 km/h and 60 km/h.

4.3.2 Traffic surveys of the AM, PM and interpeak periods were undertaken as part of the project in 2021 and 2024. The results of these surveys identify that whilst the total volume of vehicles traversing the intersection has remained constant, the number of vehicles making right turns has increased in the AM, PM and interpeak periods, with the number of through movements on Burwood Road also increasing during the interpeak and PM peak periods.

4.3.3 Due to the intersection's proximity to Burwood Plantation, there is a high concentration of heavy vehicles (6%) travelling through the intersection on Burwood Road.

4.3.4 The number 7 and 135 buses pass through the intersection. The 135 bus operates on an hourly frequency, and the 7 on a 15-minute frequency. In the future, Environment Canterbury has plans to uplift this route to a 10-minute frequency.

4.4 According to the NZTA Crash Analysis System, there have been eight crashes reported as occurring within a 50m radius of the intersection in the ten-year period between 2014 and 2023. These include 1 serious injury crash involving a cyclist, 2 minor injury crashes and 5 non-injury crashes.

A further 2 crashes (1 minor injury and 1 non-injury) also occurred in proximity to the proposed pedestrian refuge island.

Pedestrian activity and current level of service

4.5 A pedestrian activity survey was undertaken on 16 May 2024, during the 12-hour period from 7 am to 7 pm. 845 pedestrian movements were observed in proximity of the intersection, this includes 31 children and 24 people with mobility aids.

4.6 Currently, the intersection provides a poor level of service for pedestrians due to multiple trip hazards, cluttered and narrow footpaths, large crossing distances where pedestrians are unprotected and steep footpath gradients on the approach to crossing points which may cause instability.

Other Planned works

4.7 Staff are aware of a project to replace the wastewater pipes along sections of Greenhaven Drive, Mairehau Road and Burwood Road, with construction planned to occur between November 2025 and March/April 2026.

4.8 Where practical, staff will seek to coordinate between the two projects to minimise traffic delays and disruption associated with both projects.

4.9 The following related information session/workshops have taken place for the members of the meeting:

Date	Subject
26/06/2025	Waitai Information Session - Burwood/Mairehau Intersection

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.10.1 Option 1: Improvements to the existing roundabout, including speed humps on approaches and a pedestrian refuge crossing (with speed humps on approaches) on Burwood Road near Burwood Hospital. This option is shown in Attachments A and B.

4.10.2 Option 2: Signalisation of the intersection and a pedestrian refuge crossing (with speed humps on approaches) on Burwood Road near Burwood Hospital. This option is shown in Attachments B and C.

4.10.3 Option 3: Do Nothing.

4.11 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.11.1 Intersection signalisation without undergrounding overhead lines – Due to clearance requirements between the signal poles and overhead wires, Orion confirmed that this option would not be feasible.

4.11.2 Roundabout with staggered raised zebra crossings on all approaches – Vehicle tracking identified that this option would be challenging for large vehicles to navigate.

4.11.3 Roundabout with raised zebra crossings on all approaches and a permanent speed reduction – Vehicle tracking identified that this option would be challenging for large vehicles to navigate, additionally, a permanent reduction in the posted speed limit was not considered feasible.

4.11.4 Raised roundabout intersection – Vehicle tracking identified that this option would be challenging for large vehicles to navigate. This option would also present challenges in relation to stormwater treatment.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.12 Preferred Option 1: Improvements to the existing roundabout at the Burwood Road / Mairehau Road intersection, including traffic calming, pavement repairs, new sections of cycle lanes and a pedestrian refuge crossing outside the Hospital

4.12.1 Option Description: Improvements to the existing roundabout, including the installation of speed humps on approaches and installation of a pedestrian refuge crossing, as shown in Attachments A - B, including:

Roundabout improvements

· Installation of new splitter islands, pedestrian crossing points and associated signage and line marking changes as shown on Attachment A.

· Inclusion of speed humps on approaches to the roundabout to slow vehicle approach speeds and improve traffic circulation.

· Installation of cycle lanes on Mairehau Road between Greenhaven Drive and Burwood Road to connect to the cycling facilities under construction further along Mairehau Road (as part of the Mairehau Corridor Improvements Project).

· Extension of the parking bay outside the Burwood Food Market until the driveway of 285 Burwood Road.

· Replacement of the existing road surface and subgrade, as it has reached the end of its useful life.

· Adjustments to kerb alignments, line markings, road surfacing, and no-stopping restrictions as required to enable the improvements.

Pedestrian refuge island

· Installation of a pedestrian refuge island on Burwood Road, located to connect with the internal footpath leading to Burwood Hospital.

· Inclusion of speed humps at the location of the refuge island to slow vehicles on approaches.

· Relocation of the school bus stop adjacent to the east kerb by approximately 30 metres.

· Adjustments to the flush median, line marking, and no stopping restrictions as necessary to enable the installation of the refuge island.

4.12.2 Option Advantages

· Consultation feedback from key project stakeholders indicated a general preference for the upgrade of the existing roundabout.

· This option is within the project budget and can be constructed quickly

· It is proposed to extend the existing parking bay outside of the Burwood Food Market up to the driveway of #285 Burwood Road based on consultation feedback, with the existing P10 parking signage to remain.

· The pedestrian refuge island provides a midblock crossing point, improving connectivity to the Hospital and bus stops.

· Speed humps are proposed to slow vehicles on approaches to the roundabout and refuge crossing.

· Compared to the signalisation of the intersection, the roundabout option will result in fewer delays and improve traffic flow.

4.12.3 Option Disadvantages

· Whilst key project stakeholders indicated a preference for the roundabout option, most submitters preferred traffic signals.

· Whilst speed humps are a proven and effective method of reducing vehicle speeds, they resulted in mixed reactions during consultation.

· Intersection improvements require the removal of 10 carparks and the proposed cycle lanes on Mairehau Road require the removal of 3 carparks.

· The pedestrian refuge would require the removal of 4 carparks.

4.1 Alternative Option 2: Signalisation of the intersection and a pedestrian refuge crossing (with speed humps on approaches) on Burwood Road near Burwood Hospital

4.1.1 Option description: Signalisation of the intersection, and the installation of a pedestrian refuge crossing, as shown in Attachments B -C, including:

Intersection improvements

· Installation of a signalised intersection, including the undergrounding of overhead lines and updating signage and line marking as shown in Attachment C.

· Extension of the parking bay outside the Burwood Food Market until the driveway of 285 Burwood Road.

· Replacement of the existing road surface and subgrade, as it has reached the end of its useful life.

· Adjustments to kerb alignments, line markings, road surfacing, and no-stopping restrictions as required to enable the signalisation of the intersection.

Pedestrian refuge island

· Installation of a pedestrian refuge island on Burwood Road, located to connect with the internal footpath leading to Burwood Hospital.

· Inclusion of speed humps at the location of the refuge island to slow vehicles on approaches.

· Relocation of the school bus stop adjacent to the east kerb by approximately 30 metres.

· Adjustments to the flush median, line marking, and no stopping restrictions as necessary to enable the installation of the refuge island.

4.1.2 Option advantages

· Through signalisation, pedestrian safety is increased by providing phase protection (this prevents vehicles from turning when the pedestrian crossing is called).

· Some people may find it easier to navigate through a signalised intersection than a roundabout, as each traffic movement is allocated a specific signal phase.

· During consultation, there was a clear preference for the signalisation of the intersection.

· The pedestrian refuge island provides a midblock crossing point, improving connectivity to the Hospital and bus stops.

· Speed humps are proposed to slow vehicles on approaches to the refuge crossing.

4.1.3 Option disadvantages

· This option exceeds the available funding, so additional funds need to be found before this option can be constructed.

· As this option requires the undergrounding of overhead lines, construction will take longer and may cause more disruption and delays.

· Modelling identified that compared to the roundabout option the signalisation of the intersection will result in increased delays, these delays may be up to 30 seconds in the morning peak period and up to 1 minute during the afternoon peak period.

· Intersection improvements require the removal of 11 carparks and the proposed cycle lanes on Mairehau Road require the removal of 3 carparks.

· The pedestrian refuge would require the removal of 4 carparks.

· Additional operational cost for power and communications to the traffic signals

4.2 Alternative Option 3: Do Nothing

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

4.2.2 Option advantages

· Project budget can be re-allocated

· No construction disruption

· No (actual or perceived) impact on travel times.

· No parking loss.

4.2.3 Option disadvantages

· This option does not address the project objectives.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.3 Staff are recommending the roundabout with safety platforms option for the following reasons:

4.3.1 Addresses the project objectives

4.3.2 Scheme design estimate is within budget, and can be delivered with less disruption to the community

4.3.3 Addresses safety issues raised with the intersection

4.3.4 Has a lower impact on traffic flow than signalisation

4.3.5 Is supported by key stakeholders (noting that this is at odds with general public sentiment)

4.4 A fuller analysis comparing the two main options has been undertaken:

	Option One: Preferred Option	Option Two: Signalisation
Pedestrian access and safety	Installing speed humps on approaches to the roundabout slows vehicles down, creating a safer road environment for all users.	Signalising the intersection would provide a dedicated signal phase for people to cross the road.
Pedestrian refuge island	It can be developed with this option.	It can be developed with this option.
Parking impact	17 carparks - Intersection improvements (10) - Cycle lanes (3) - Refuge island (4)	18 carparks - Intersection improvements (11) - Cycle lanes (3) - Refuge island (4)
Network impact	Vehicles will have to wait an average of 10 seconds in the morning peak period and up to 20 seconds during the afternoon peak period.	Vehicles will have to wait an average of 30 seconds in the morning peak period and up to 1 minute during the afternoon peak period.
Construction timeframes	August/September 2026 10 – 15 weeks	Dependent on funding 15 – 20 weeks (exclude undergrounding)
Construction impacts	Simpler construction.	More extensive construction works are required such as the undergrounding of overhead lines.
Funding	This option can be constructed soon as it is within the project budget	This option costs more than the available budget. Therefore, it would be longer before it could be built.

Evidence for this recommendation

4.5 SIDRA traffic modelling was undertaken to compare the existing roundabout with the proposed upgrade options. The findings of this assessment are summarised below and included in Attachment D.

4.5.1 An upgraded roundabout would have a comparable level of service (LOS) to the existing intersection in the AM peak, based on the average delay time.

4.5.2 The signalisation of the intersection would have a worse LOS compared to the existing intersection and the roundabout option in the AM peak as the average delay on the worst approach would increase from 10 seconds to 27 seconds.

4.5.3 The upgraded roundabout would have a worse LOS compared to the existing roundabout in the PM peak, as the average delay on the worst approach would increase from 12 seconds to 29 seconds.

4.5.4 The signalisation of the intersection would have a significantly worse LOS compared to the existing intersection and the roundabout option in the PM peak, as the average delay on the worst approach would increase from 12 seconds to 94 seconds.

4.6 In terms of safety, there is international research on the benefits of lower speeds to crash severity.

4.6.1 Auckland Transport have produced a report that 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.

4.6.2 This is publicly available information Safe speeds - the reasons.

4.7 The roundabout at the intersection of Colombo Street/Dyers Pass Road/Centaurus Road/Cashmere Road was upgraded to include safety platforms on the approaches in late 2024. As a busy roundabout with traffic flows from all directions, and close to developments that drive pedestrian use, there are broad comparisons between the two intersections.

4.7.1 A report comparing the performance of the intersection in March 2024 (before the improvements) with the intersection in March 2025 (after the improvements) is available as Attachment F.

4.7.2 This suggests that the roundabout has become safer (lower speeds and fewer near-crash situations), while also increasing the number of vehicles going through the intersection, particularly at peak times.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 The project has spent around $320k to date (noting that budget has spent on this project since FY14)

5.2 If the decision is to proceed with option 2, Council will need to instruct staff to continue with detailed design, ahead of additional money being sought in the Annual Plan FY27.

5.2.1 The project cannot start to procure construction services until the full budget is available.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

General

6.1 Coal Tar: Investigations were conducted by 3 waters recently to detect the extent of coal tar, and there was none found, however, given the age of the pavement there is still a high probability to find some. To mitigate this a 30% contingency has been included in the construction project budget

6.2 Waitakiri Primary School recently presented to the Community Board regarding safety outside their school, but any changes outside the school are outside the scope of this project, which may lead to reputational damage. This needs to be managed through clear communication about the scope of the project.

6.3 Council’s Three Waters team are planning works through this intersection in late-2025/early-2026; staff will seek to co-ordinate works, however, this may not be possible. This will be mitigated by close co-ordination between the two teams, and clear communication to residents.

Signalisation Risks

6.4 If the signalisation is progressed, there is a risk of increased costs associated with undergrounding Orion cables. At this stage, Council has only received high-level cost estimates, and this will be more defined when detailed design has been completed.

6.5 If the option of traffic signals is selected, there is a risk of appropriate budget being made available through the annual plan process. This would also have an impact on the construction programme, and likely remove any ability to co-ordinate with the 3 waters project.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.6.1 The Community Boards have delegated authority from Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolution of stopping and traffic control devices.

6.6.2 Based on this delegated authority, Council would be required to approve any Special Vehicle Lanes (cycle lanes) under each option and also the installation of traffic signals under Option Two.

6.6.3 The installation of any signs and/or marking associated with traffic control devices must comply with the Land Transport Rule: Traffic Control Devices 2004.

6.6.4 Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install parking or stopping restrictions by resolution.

6.7 Other Legal Implications:

6.7.1 There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to this decision.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.8 The required decisions:

6.8.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.8.2 The decisions in this report are of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy 2019. The level of significance was determined by the level of impact on people affected, low cost/risk associated with carrying out the decision, and the low level of impact on the capacity of Council to carry out its role and functions.

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

6.10 Transport

6.10.1 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

· Level of Service: 10.0.6.2 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network - Five year rolling average <95 crashes per year

· Level of Service: 10.5.1 Limit deaths and serious injury crashes per capita for cyclists and pedestrians - <=12 crashes per 100,000 residents

· Level of Service: 16.0.10 Maintain the perception (resident satisfaction) that Christchurch is a walking friendly city - >=85% resident satisfaction

· Maintain roadway condition to an appropriate national standard, measured by the percentage of the sealed road network that is resurfaced each year (DIA 3) (16.0.1) - ≥4%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.11 Early engagement with Environment Canterbury (ECan), Hato Hone St Johns, Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and Burwood Hospital started in June 2025. Feedback was sought on the two options: a signalised intersection and a roundabout upgrade.

6.12 St Johns and FENZ did not raise concerns, however FENZ expressed some concern about speed humps negatively affecting response times.

6.13 ECan had some concern about the signalised intersection’s effect on bus timetabling, especially on Route 7. They did not support speed humps at the pedestrian refuge island on Burwood Road because bus vibrations while travelling over them could impact local residents.

6.14 Burwood Hospital did not raise any concerns but considered the roundabout to be more effective in slowing traffic and better serving the community. They requested that on-street car parking loss be kept to a minimum.

6.15 Consultation started on 10 July and ran until 25 July 2025.

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

· An email sent to 61 key stakeholders, including emergency services, Environment Canterbury, Burwood Hospital, The Champion Centre, NZ Spinal Trust, local community organisations and businesses.

· Burwood Hospital internal communications, reaching hospital staff.

· Four local community group pages.

· Leaflets delivered to properties neighbouring the intersection and Burwood Food Market for their customers.

6.17 The Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk page had 2000 views throughout the consultation period.

6.18 Staff met with Burwood Food Market during the consultation period to discuss the project and answer questions.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.19 Submissions were made by seven organisations / businesses and 360 individuals. All submissions are available on our Kōrero mai webpage.

6.20 Submitters were asked to indicate their preference: a signalised intersection, an improved roundabout or neither option.

· Four organisations / businesses were in support of the signalised intersection (NZ Spinal Trust, Living Streets Aotearoa, Waitākiri Primary School and Burwood Road Motors).

· Two were in support of the roundabout upgrade (Spokes Canterbury and Burwood Food Market).

· Mairehau Riding School did not support either option.

6.21 Overall, the majority of submitters preferred the signalised intersection (221, 60%) over the roundabout upgrade (89, 24%). A further 49 submitters (13%) did not prefer either option and 8 submitters (3%) were unsure.

6.22

A bar graph comparing signalised intersection, roundabout upgrade and no support for either option

Burwood / Mairehau intersection runs through three suburbs (Burwood, Parklands and Marshland) and services a high volume of commuters every day. The chart below shows that residents within the three surrounding suburbs strongly preferred the signalised intersection. Residents from the rest of Christchurch were somewhat split in their preference.

6.23

A screenshot of a table

The transport mode used most often by submitters did appear to have an impact on their preferred option. Cyclists and wheelchair users were more likely to support a roundabout, while car and bus users were more likely to support signals.

Note, four submitters did not specify their travel mode and an additional five submitters identified their travel mode as ‘other’.

6.24 Submitters were asked for further information to explain their preference.

6.25 The following key themes were identified:

Signalised intersection

· Safer for all users (89)

· Assists traffic flow (9)

· Future-proofs the intersection (7)

Roundabout upgrade

· Maintains traffic flow (13)

· Safer for all users (12)

· Slows vehicles (5)

6.26 Out of those who preferred neither option, 22 submitters thought the roundabout worked well currently, five thought the project was not justified by the number of crashes and five thought construction would disrupt and hinder businesses and residents.

6.27 Submitters were asked whether they supported a pedestrian refuge island and speed humps on Burwood Road.

6.28 The proposal received support from NZ Spinal Trust, Living Streets Aotearoa, Waitākiri Primary School, Burwood Road Motors, Spokes Canterbury and Burwood Food Market, who all felt it would improve safety. Mairehau Riding Centre did not support the proposal, believing speeding was not an issue.

6.29 Individual submitters were split in their support for a pedestrian refuge island and speed humps, irrespective of whether they lived in the neighbouring suburbs or not.

6.30 The table below shows that car drivers and cyclists were somewhat split in their preference for a pedestrian refuge island and speed humps, while the majority of walkers and wheelchair users preferred this improvement.

A table with numbers and text

Note, four submitters did not specify their travel mode and an additional five submitters identified their travel mode as ‘other’.

6.31 Submitters were asked to provide further information to explain their preference.

6.32 A key theme among submitters was opposition to speed humps (109). Overall, 52 submitters indicated they somewhat supported the proposal because of the speed humps, 52 submitters who didn’t support the proposal indicated the same.

6.33 The following key themes were also identified:

· Assists vulnerable users to cross (21)

· Speed humps slow vehicles (15)

· Assists children to cross (9)

6.34 15 submitters mentioned that the refuge island and speed humps would not be necessary with the signalised intersection option.

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

6.35.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.36 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.

6.37 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

6.38 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.38.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change through providing improvements to the management and collection of stormwater at the intersection.

6.38.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

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

6.40 This is a minor scheme and will not have a significant impact; however, it will improve safety outcomes for road users, particularly those who walk, cycle and have limited mobility.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board accepts the recommendations in this report, the next steps will be:

7.1.1 For the board's recommendation relating to the proposed cycle lanes on Mairehau Road (between Greenhaven Drive and the intersection) to be considered by Council, and

7.1.2 To complete detailed design and tendering prior to construction.

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report seek approval to the amended Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Boards Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme FY26-FY29.

1.2 This approval will confirm the proposed four-year programme and lock in the programme for FY27, incorporating the changes proposed by members of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board (Attachment A).

1.3 The report has been generated by staff and includes the proposed Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme for FY26–FY29, incorporating feedback from the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board members.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme 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 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Boards Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme (Attachment A).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Community Parks Capital Rolling Renewal Programme provides a structured approach to maintaining and renewing park assets, ensuring they remain safe, functional, and fit for purpose. Asset renewals are prioritised primarily on condition, with the highest priority given to assets in poor condition or presenting safety risks. Additional factors, including community use, asset importance, and age, are also considered in determining renewal priorities.

3.2 Programme delivery is further informed by cost, funding availability, project timing, and statutory or legal requirements. This enables a coordinated and efficient approach to renewal across the parks network.

3.3 Staff presented the draft programme to the Community Board to seek feedback on local priorities. The programme has subsequently been refined to incorporate this feedback, ensuring alignment with both community expectations and Council objectives.

3.4 The projects included in the Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme are as follows:

· Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Boards local Play Space Renewal (#73980)

· Community Parks - Planned Play Item Renewals (#64749)

· Community Parks Green Asset Renewals (#43687)

· Community Parks Hard Surface Renewals (#43686 - Footpaths and Carparks)

· Individual projects containing play space, green or hard surface asset renewals

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 During the deliberation of the FY2024–25 Annual Plan, elected members expressed concerns about the lack of visibility into individual renewal candidates within the Parks Rolling Renewal Programmes. In response, the Parks Unit committed to visiting all Community Boards annually to gather feedback on the proposed Rolling Renewal Programmes.

4.2 Last year staff presented the draft Parks Rolling Renewal Programmes to seek feedback on the plan. Requested alterations by the community board members were implemented.

4.3 To enhance transparency in the rolling renewal programme, staff amended the process so that the programme can be formally agreed once all requested alterations have been implemented.

4.4 Staff attended the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Workshop on 28 August 2025 to present the draft Community Park Rolling Renewal Programme (Attachment B). The board was given one month to submit feedback on the programme, including any suggested amendments.

4.5 Staff made one amendment to the programme:

4.5.1 Removed Plover Reserve from the Hard Surface Renewal Programme as it was not required.

4.6 Staff received one amendment request:

4.6.1 Include Tangmere Reserve Playground in the Playspace Renewal Programme. The playground was condition assessed and did not meet the threshold for renewal; however, staff will include it in the next LTP cycle for completion in FY30. If the playground deteriorates faster than expected, the Board will have the option to bring the renewal forward within the programme.

4.10 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.10.1 Do not renew the proposed assets – choosing not to renew these assets would pose a risk to public safety and reduce levels of service.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.11 Preferred Option: The Community Board adopt the proposed Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme FY26-FY29.

4.11.1 Option Description: Approve the proposed programme.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

· The assets identified for renewal that have come to the end of their life can be renewed to ensure levels of service are met

· Engagement with the Community Board ensures the programme reflects local priorities and expectations.

· The structured process, including formal agreement after requested alterations, enhances transparency and accountability in how renewal decisions are made.

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

· There are no specific disadvantages to this option.

4.11.4 Option Description: The Community Board does not approve the proposed Community Parks Rolling Renewal Programme FY26-FY29 and requests that staff consider further amendments.

4.11.5 Option Advantages

· Further investigation into the reprioritisation of asset renewal can take place

4.11.6 Option Disadvantages

· Delay to the asset renewal programme, potentially resulting in budget underspend

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.12 The programme is evaluated against key criteria to ensure safe, efficient, and community-focused asset renewal:

· Safety & Asset Condition: High priority given to assets in poor condition or posing safety risks

· Community Use & Importance: Assets supporting significant community activity are prioritised to maintain service levels

· Cost, Funding & Timing: Renewal projects are assessed for feasibility, funding availability, and coordinated delivery

· Legal Compliance: All renewals meet statutory and health and safety requirements.

· Community Feedback: The programme has been refined based on Community Board input to reflect local priorities

· Long-Term Sustainability: Planned renewals extend asset life and reduce reactive maintenance costs.

4.13 The rolling renewal programme provides a transparent, structured, and sustainable approach, balancing immediate safety and service needs with long-term asset management and community expectations.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 In relation to construction, no specific risks have been identified other than those ordinarily associated with managing work in a public park environment

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Under the Reserves Act, staff hold the delegation to renew assets within an existing reserve that does not alter the original landscape. However, staff are seeking approval from the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board for the rolling renewal programme, to provide greater transparency in the renewal process.

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

6.4 The required decision aligns with:

6.4.1 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.

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

6.4.3 Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

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

6.6 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.6.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.0.1 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

· Level of Service: 6.8.2.3 Parks are managed and maintained in a clean, tidy, safe, functional, and equitable manner (Asset Performance) - At least 90% of parks and associated public recreational assets are available for safe public use during opening hours

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 No community feedback and been sought, as the programme does not increase levels of service and renewed assets are replaced like for like.

6.8 Staff will initiate community consultation to the Play Space Renewal Projects

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.9 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.

6.10 The decision does not involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and will not impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.11 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board area: Waimaero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.12 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.12.1 Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.12.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.13 Widespread planting of shrubs, grasses, wetlands species, and groundcovers play an important role in mitigating climate change by sequestering carbon and reducing ‘heat island’ effect.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Once the programme is adopted, staff will begin scoping future locations for both green asset and hard asset renewals and will initiate early engagement on upcoming playground renewals.

3.1.4 Predator Free Ōpāwaho Launch

The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network (OHRN) launched their Predator Free Ōpāwaho project in September, running traplines along both sides of the awa targeting mice and rats. Working with Council Parks teams, OHRN completed the first section between Tunnel Road Bridge to Opawa Road Bridge, placing wooden tunnels at regular intervals in the public spaces along the banks of the Ōpāwaho. The Trust are also working with residents who live near the river, equipping them and providing training to be able to look after a couple of traps each to help maintain the trapping lines. With the help of the community, OHRN hope to extend the project the length of the river to Ngā Puna Wai, keeping rodent numbers in check and allowing native birds to return and thrive along the river corridor.

3.1.5 Canterbury Tigray Community Event

Canterbury Tigray Incorporated hosted a vibrant community event at the Parklands Community Centre, bringing people together for an afternoon of connection and fun. The event featured volleyball and other sports activities, along with shared food and drinks. Funding from the Koru Fund made this gathering possible, covering the purchase of sports equipment such as a volleyball, net, and rope, as well as hall hire and refreshments like pizza. This support helped create a welcoming space for community members to spend time together, be active, and strengthen social connections through sport and shared experiences.

3.1.6 Climate Action Campus Spring Market

Visitors browsed heirloom seedlings, plants, crafts, student enterprises, local businesses, and a wide range of sustainable products. The event also featured inspiring talks from local experts, including representatives from Environment Canterbury, Climate Liberation Aotearoa, Terra Nova Foundation, Untouched World, and Christchurch Envirohub.

3.1.7 Project Kōtare

The Pūharakekenui Trust have just celebrated a huge milestone as part of Project Kōtare, planting its 200,000^th tree. This has contributed to the extensive tree cover in the catchment, in which there is now more than there was in the whole of Christchurch when settlers arrived. For the last four years, staff and volunteers from all over Christchurch and have worked to improve the biodiversity and river health in the catchment.

Project Kōtare is a programme of native ecosystem restoration along waterways in the 7000-hectare Pūharakekenui catchment over five years, creating a native riparian corridor that will benefit native biodiversity and improve the health of the river for years to come, creating a legacy for future generations.

Since 2021 this project has led to the planting of over 200,000 eco-sourced native plants on 27 private properties and 19 Christchurch City Council reserve sites; installed 4 kilometres of stock-proof fencing, completed 38 hectares of willow and weed control, managed predator control over 130 hectares, and contacted 50% of businesses within the catchment.

For the last four years, staff and volunteers from all over Christchurch have worked to improve the biodiversity and river health in the catchment. There have been over 15,000 volunteer hours dedicated to the project since the start of the project.

3.1.8 Ōtākaro clean-up project

The Avon-Ōtākaro Network are celebrating a milestone having just installed their first portable rubbish boom in the Ōtākaro. After two years of collecting, sorting waste and producing comprehensive data on the types of rubbish collected, the network received $20,000 from the 2024/25 Sustainability Fund to step-up phase two of the project.

With four organisations regularly collecting rubbish, Health Rivers NZ via a boat, River Conservation using magnets and dive gear, Red Zone Dogs and a resident with his bike trailer, the group have removed over 10 tonnes of rubbish, over 160 road cones, 10 trolleys, at least 5 lime scooters and many other random items from the awa. The group also had help from Without Waste NZ who assisted with the sorting data and Riverlution who provided the space for a sorting station.

Having addressed the issue of legacy rubbish, they turned their attention to dealing with the floating rubbish coming off the stormwater system. Installing the portable rubbish boom had instant success, catching two floating plastic bottles within minutes of its installation.

The project is leaving a legacy of improved awa health, demonstrating what practical action towards sustainability and climate adaptation with environmental innovation and locally based kaitiaki can achieve.

3.1.9 The Green Lab has relocated to Rawhiti Domain

The Green Lab has relocated from Kaputahi Rongoā Reserve on Marshlands Road to its temporary new home at Rawhiti Domain. It is now situated off Keyes Road, in front of the Substation.

The new location was selected in partnership with Green Lab and with careful consideration of the crime prevention through environmental design principles recently highlighted in the CPTED report for Rawhiti Domain and Thomson Park.

This move marks an exciting milestone for Green Lab and will create more opportunities for those living in the east.
