3. Detail Te Whakamahuki

Introduction Te Whakatkinga

3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by Davie Lovell-Smith Ltd on behalf of the developer. Preferred names and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.

3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.

3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.

3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.

3.3.2 A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).

3.3.3 The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area.

3.3.4 A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.

3.3.5 Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.

3.3.6 A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.

3.3.7 The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage.

3.3.8 A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance.

3.4 The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 are set out below.

3.4.1 Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality.

3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.

3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.

3.4.4 Names of living persons.

3.4.5 Names related to the developer of a subdivision.

3.4.6 Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.

3.4.7 Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.

3.5 The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard.

3.6 Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.

3.7 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed names.

3.8 Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because the roads to be named are not collector roads and/or site(s) of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).

3.9 No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).

3.10 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below.

Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira

3.11 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

3.12 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.

3.13 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.

Proposed Names

3.14 The proposed roads are shown in Attachment A.

3.15 The proposed names and alternative names are themed for local history, both for the surrounding land and the Halswell Quarry, and for Christchurch’s sister cities as they are represented at Halswell Quarry Park nearby.

3.16 Road 1 - Craythorne Road

3.17 Fanny Craythorne (1843-1934), married William Hawley Glover in 1861, the farmer for whom the adjacent Glovers Road is named.

3.18 Road 2 - Adelaide Road

3.19 Adelaide, Australia, is one of Christchurch’s sister cities. Halswell Quarry is known for the sister city gardens, and naming the streets after the sister cities strengthens the area’s connection to the sister cities.

3.20 Road 3 - Spiller Road

3.21 Mary Caroline Spiller (1796-1869) was the wife of Edmund Halswell, for whom the suburb of Halswell is named. Edmund Halswell came to New Zealand on behalf of the New Zealand Company from March 1841 to April 1845. He held some official positions, including commissioner of native reserves and judge.

3.22 Road 4 - Darnley Place

3.23 Edward Darnley Halswell (1823-1842) was the eldest son of Edmund Halswell and was killed in military service at age 19.

3.24 Lane 1 - Beauchamp Lane

3.25 Hugh Beauchamp Halswell (1826-1911), was a son of Edmund Halswell, the suburb's namesake.

Alternative Names

3.26 Seattle Street/Place /Lane - Seattle, USA, is one of Christchurch’s sister cities. Halswell Quarry is known for the sister city gardens, and naming the streets after the sister cities strengthens the area’s connection to the sister cities.

3.27 Columnar Street/Place/Lane - There was two main types of stone that came out of Halswell Quarry. One being Olivine Hawaiite (which is more commonly called Halswell Stone) and Columnar Basalt. There were significant amounts of Columnar Basalt excavated from the quarry. The Columnar basalt was often crushed and used as road metal in roads around Christchurch.

3.28 Tonge Street/Place/Lane - Tonge was an early owner of the subdivision land, circa 1902.

3.29 Hawaiite Street/Place/Lane - Olivine Hawaiite is a type of rock that was quarried at Halswell Quarry. It is commonly known as Halswell Stone or less commonly known as Olivine Basalt. Many of Christchurch’s early buildings were built out of Olivine Hawaiite, such as the Christchurch Provincial Chambers. Naming the road after Hawaiite, would signify the importance of this stone to the local region.

3.30 Gansu Street - Gansu, China, is one of Christchurch’s sister cities. Halswell Quarry is known for the sister city gardens, and naming the streets after the sister cities strengthens the area’s connection to the sister cities.

3.31 The proposed and alternative names are considered to be consistent with the policy.

3.32 Notwithstanding, the discretion lies with the Community Board to approve any of the above name options, including the alternative names.

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to request the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board approve:

1.1.1 The concept plan for the renewal of the play space at Bermuda Reserve.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Play space renewal - Bermuda Reserve - Design Approval 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. The level of significance was determined by the low level of impact on local residents and the like-for-like nature of the project.

3. Approves the Bermuda Reserve play space renewal plan shown in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Bermuda Reserve is located in the Hornby Ward and connects Bermuda Drive and Bahama Place.

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

3.2 The renewal of the play space forms part of the Community Parks Planned Play Space Renewal Programme. This play space is being renewed based on its age and condition.

3.3 The play space renewal forms part of the ‘Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Local Play Spaces Renewals’ project, CPMS ID 73984, along with Milnebank Reserve (Riccarton) and Iona Reserve (Hornby). In the most recent assessment, this play space received the lowest overall condition rating and has therefore been prioritised for delivery first.

3.4 The play space is being renewed ‘like-for-like’, meaning a similar number of play elements will be maintained, whilst also taking into account feedback from community consultation. The design will ensure that today’s NZ Play Safety Standards are being met as well as taking into consideration any basic updates to levels of service.

3.5 Current play space at Bermuda Reserve:

3.6 Community consultation, via Korero Mai, offered two play space design options, feedback was considered, and the renewed play space includes the following:

3.6.1 Two in-ground trampolines, offering inclusive play for all ages and unique in this part of the City.

3.6.2 A swing set, including a basket swing, connected with accessible surfacing. This type of swing provides opportunities for all ages and abilities.

3.6.3 A carousel that can accommodate a large number of tamariki.

3.6.4 A Kiwiana play panel, offering imaginative play value.

3.6.5 Nature play and new gardens, to soften the playground features within the Reserve.

3.7 Currently the Reserve has no connection pathways, despite it being a thoroughfare, therefore this has been added. The Reserve currently has no picnic benches; therefore, an accessible picnic bench has been added.

3.8 During the play space renewal, the other small garden beds in the Reserve will also be re-planted, uplifting the whole Reserve.

Concept design

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Consultation was undertaken through the Korero Mai process in September 2025. https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/bermudaplay offering two concept design options. 22 responses were received, with 14 (64%) favouring option 2.

4.2 There were several requests to include the treehouse and the trampolines, however the small size of the Reserve and the cost was prohibitive to accommodating these requests.

4.3 Swinging was the most mentioned play type; therefore Staff increased the number of swings to cater for more tamariki.

4.4 The following related memos/information were circulated to the Board members:

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.5.1 The Community Board adopt the proposed concept plan for the play space renewal at Bermuda Reserve.

4.5.2 The Community Board does not approve the concept plan and requests that staff consider an alternative design and re-consult with the community.

4.5.3 Remove play equipment from the park and do not replace.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.6 Preferred Option: The Community Board adopt the proposed concept plan for the play space renewal at Bermuda Reserve.

4.6.1 Option Advantages

· The community will receive a safe play space that offers increased play value, more age-appropriate equipment, and improved accessibility.

4.6.2 Option Disadvantages

4.7.2 Option Advantages

· The community have the option to offer alternative suggestions to the proposed concept plan.

4.7.3 Option Disadvantages

· This option would impact the allocated budget as the new playground design and engagement costs would be funded from within the current budget. It is likely that this would impact the type of equipment we would be able to include in a revised plan.

· Dissatisfaction among the local community due to the delay.

4.8 Option 3: Remove play equipment from the Reserve and do not replace.

4.8.1 Option Advantages

· This would provide Council with a saving in capital and operating expenditure.

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. The final cost of construction will be confirmed during the tender phase. If costs escalate beyond the approved budget, staff will manage small shortfalls through minor design amendments. In this instance, the amount of nature play will be reduced if required. If there are major implications to the level of service, staff will discuss these with the Community Board before proceeding further with the project.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.2 As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register, 9 August 2024, the Community Board has the delegation to;

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).

6.2.2 Other Legal Implications: There is no legal context, issue, or implication relevant to these decisions.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.3 The required decision:

6.3.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

6.3.2 The decision is of low significance in relation to the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy 2019. The level of significance was determined by the low number of people affected, low level of impact and low cost of the decision.

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: 6.8.5 Resident satisfaction with the overall availability of recreation facilities within the City's parks and foreshore network - >= 70%

7. Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

Early engagement involved a focus group with students from South Hornby School in June 2025. The students’ preferred play equipment was:

· A tree house with slides

· A basket swing

· In-ground trampolines

· A spinning item

· Nature play

· Spinning swings

7.2 Two options were developed for the reserve based on their feedback and consultation started 11 September and ran until 29 September 2025.

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

· An email sent to five key stakeholders, including South Hornby School, Greater Hornby Residents’ Association and Hornby Community Care Centre.

· Local community social media pages.

· Letters to neighbouring properties.

· Signs at the reserve entrances.

7.4 The Kōrero mai | Let’s Talk page had 423 views throughout the consultation period.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

7.5 Submissions were made by 22 individuals and are available on our Kōrero mai webpage.

7.6 Option 1 – A tree house, spinner and talking tube, was preferred by eight submitters (36%)

Option 2 – A basket swing, in-ground trampolines and a carousel, was preferred by 14 submitters (64%)

7.7 Comments from submitters can be read in the submission document on Kōrero Mai.

Supplementary information

7.8 A token box voting activity with the South Hornby School students during the consultation resulted in option 2 receiving 133 tokens (62%) and option 1 receiving 82 tokens (38%), in line with submissions.

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

7.9.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board, Hornby Ward.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

7.10 This 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.

7.11 This 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

7.12 The decision in this report is likely to contribute positively to emissions reductions, in that local residents will have access to a play facility within walking distance and therefore may choose not to drive to other playgrounds.

7.13 If possible, existing unsuitable safe fall (bark) will be reused as mulch in the garden beds and the tees used for the nature play will be sourced from planned tree removals in other parks.

8. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

8.1 If the Board approves the proposed concept plan, the equipment can be ordered and tenders documents created, for a planned construction period in Autumn 2026.

9. Gilberthorpes Reserve Tree Planting Plan
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2276780
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman (Urban Forest Manager)
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek board approval for the planting of new trees within Gilberthorpes Reserve.

1.2 As part of the proposed planting plan, two existing trees are also sought for removal.

1.3 The report is part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program within our parks.

1.4 The Community board has also received a deputation from a neighbouring property owner of Gilberthorpes requesting the removal of the Cedar trees located on Gilberthorpes Road.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Gilberthorpes Reserve Tree Planting 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. Approve the planting of new trees within Gilberthorpes Reserve as shown on the planting plan attached to the report on the meeting agenda as Attachment A.

4. Approve the removal of two Cedrus Deodara located on the boundary of Gilberthorpes Road shown on the planting plan attached to the report on the meeting agenda as 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 implementation, staff have been developing new tree planting plans for all of the parks throughout Christchurch including Gilberthorpes reserve.

3.3 Prior to the development of the planting plan, the board received a deputation requesting that the two cedar trees be considered for removal and replacement with a different species. This was included in the consultation material and has been brought to the board to make a decision.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Gilberthorpes Reserve is located on the border of Gilberthorpes Road and is split by Gregory Avenue. One side of the reserve has open space and a playground present. The other side is a thin strip (approximately 10m wide) that runs between the road and the boundaries of 1/1 and ½ Gregory Avenue.

4.2 Along the thin strip section, three mature Cedrus Deodara are currently situated. A request was taken to the Board on the 10^th of April, seeking the trees to be removed due to the impact they have on the nearby properties. The primary concern raised was the amount of pollen that comes from the trees and the needle litter which has had an impact on the residents’ property and health.

4.3 The residents have expressed a desire to have trees planted in the area, however they have requested that any new planting be a species that does not produce high volumes of pollen or drop excessive leaf debris.

4.4 Based on this feedback, staff incorporated the removal of two cedar trees (ID 121340 and 128450) into the planting plan along with five new trees to be planted along the same area. The replacement planting will be made up of smaller trees in statue and species that have a low pollen count.

4.5 The removal of the two cedar trees would be undertaken in alignment with 4.7 of the Council’s tree policy which allows trees to be considered for removal as part of a project. This also requires the board to consider the benefits provided by the trees against the benefits of the project.

4.6 The benefits provided by the cedar trees are largely associated with their location next to the road, particularly with regards to screening and sound reduction to the neighbouring properties. As the project will include a greater number of trees being planted along the road it is expected that the benefits of the project will offset the loss of the trees overtime.

4.7 The planting plan also includes a further 8 trees for the Reserve, three of these will be planted along the road edged and the other 5 will be placed in the larger section of the park.

4.8

The image below provides an aerial view of the park along with the proposed tree removals and new tree planting.

Image above shows the trees proposed for removal

4.9 If the proposed planting is approved along with the tree removals, the overall canopy cover within the park will increase from 51% to 59%. While this is quite high, it should be noted that the long strip of the park bordering Gilberthorpes road is not a location that is suitable for other activities and therefore trees would be considered the best use of the space.

4.10 Consultation for the reserve went out on the 14^th of July and closed on the 3^rd of August. We received two submissions, both of which are in support and did not request any changes.

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

Date	Subject
10^th April 2025	Deputation from a member of the public requesting the two Cedar trees be considered for removal

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.12.1 Approve the planting plan with the tree removals.

4.12.2 Approve the planting plan without the tree removals.

4.12.3 Decline the tree removals and planting plan.

4.13 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.13.1 Approve the removals without approving the planting plan – The Council’s Tree Policy requires any removal to be replaced with a minimum of two trees for every tree removed. If the removals were approved without planting, the decision would be outside of the Councils Tree Policy.

4.13.2 Approve the removal of the third Cedar tree – The consultation only covered the removal of two cedar trees. If the elected members wanted to investigate the removal of the third cedar tree, it would need to be reconsulted on to ensure a consistent process for all three trees.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.14 Preferred Option: Approve the Removals and the Planting plan.

4.14.1 Option Description: The board may use their delegation to approve the removal of the two cedar trees and the new tree planting in alignment with the consultation documents.

4.14.2 Option Advantages

· New trees will be planted within the park.

· The removal of the cedar trees will remove concerns by the immediate residents relating to health and debris issues.

4.14.3 Option Disadvantages

8. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3-7 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised at two commercial vehicle crossings in Quadrant Drive, due to restricted visibility from on-street parking. Implementing the noted recommendations will lead to a reduction in the risk of a crash by improving sightlines.

3.2 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The lengths of no stopping in this option are the minimum lengths needed to provide Minimum Gap Sight Distance, allowing a driver entering the road sufficient visibility of approaching traffic to make the desired turn safely.

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

3.4 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Quadrant Drive is a collector road within the South Hornby industrial area.

4.2 Requests have been received from two businesses in Quadrant Drive to improve the visibility at their vehicle crossings, which are utilised by heavy vehicles. Visibility can be limited by parked vehicles on Quadrant Drive. These businesses are Foodstuffs - 17 Hickory Place (Quadrant Drive frontage) and Genesis Gas - 5 Quadrant Drive.

4.3 Staff have visited the site to view the traffic and parking situation on different occasions. Parking demand is generally light to moderate in the area, and variable in terms of locations. It involves a mix of light and heavy vehicles, including trailer units, which is reflective of the surrounding industrial area.

4.4 Staff have also identified a short section of no stopping restriction that is missing around the eastern side of Establishment Drive / Quadrant Drive intersection. This is between two existing sections of no stopping restrictions. It is proposed to also address this within this report, which will assist in reinforcing existing parking laws.

4.5 Quadrant Drive has an estimated traffic volume of 5000 vehicles per day, with a mean speed of 45km/h. This is considered to be relatively low for this type of environment.

4.6 There have been no reported crashes within 200m of these vehicle crossings in the last five years.

4.7 Whilst the road safety risks are assessed as relatively low, the recommendations are to install no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. This is due to it being desirable to improve visibility for heavy vehicle movements out of these properties.

4.8 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).

9. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3-8 are in place.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 This report has been written in response to a request from Oaklands School Te Kura o Ōwaka and a parent of a student at the school to install permanent no stopping restrictions near the school entrances on Jarrow Place, Brenda Place, Cobra Street and Balkwell Street. This is to improve pedestrian safety and compliance, as well as to ensure consistency across the school’s four entrances for their ease of communication to caregivers and residents.

3.2 The school currently has variable no stopping restrictions from 8:00am - 5:00pm on Jarrow Place, and from 8:30am – 9:15am and 2:30pm – 3:15pm on Brenda Place between Monday and Friday. This was previously approved by the Riccarton/Wigram Transport and Roading Committee from Item 5 of the report dated 8 February 2002.

3.3 The recommended option is to Install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachments A, B & C.

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

3.5 Options within this report have been assessed against relevant industry-standard design guidance including the sight distance requirements.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Oaklands School Te Kura o Ōwaka raised concerns surrounding safety and poor compliance. Additionally, the school has raised difficulties in communicating the different variable no stopping restrictions to caregivers.

4.2 A parent of a Oaklands School student spoke to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board on 12 December 2024 and 10 July 2025 during public forum to ask for safety improvements near Oaklands School Te Kura o Ōwaka, including no stopping restrictions on Cobra Street.

4.3 Specifically for Cobra Street, parked vehicles can reduce visibility of oncoming traffic for students and other pedestrians attempting to cross. The proposed no-stopping restrictions aim to improve pedestrian safety by enhancing visibility at the Oaklands School pedestrian exit onto Cobra Street. This location will continue to be monitored following the installation of a signalised crossing on Dunbars Road to determine if further upgrades are required.

4.4 Specifically on Jarrow Place, Brenda Place, and Balkwell Street, which are all cul-de-sac streets, vehicles require adequate space to turn around safely. In these locations cars are parking over driveways and/or too close to the turning area, which is creating access issues and blocking vehicles from being able to manoeuvre properly.

4.5 Approval for the restrictions is required from the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

4.6 If approved, the restrictions 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).

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.7.1 Implement no stopping restrictions near the entrances of Oaklands School Te Kura o Ōwaka on Brenda Place, Jarrow Place, Cobra Street and Balkwell Street.

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

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8 Consultation letters were sent out to the affected residents and property owners adjacent to where it is proposed to implement the no stopping restrictions, advising the recommended option.

6.9 During consultation, all households on Brenda Place, Cobra and Balkwell Street supported the consultation plan. One household on Jarrow Place opposed the plan.

6.10 A parent requested that no stopping restrictions be extended from 40, to part way west of 42 Cobra Street. Residents and property owners that are directly affected by this change have been consulted with, and this has been included in the plan for approval.

6.11 A resident requested that no stopping restrictions be extended from 3 to 5 Brenda Place due to safety concerns. This request was considered; however, the existing and proposed measures are deemed sufficient. The issue relates to enforcement which is planned to follow the implementation of this project.

6.12 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

6.13 The do-nothing option is inconsistent with the school request to improve safety and provide consistent parking restrictions outside the school.

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

6.14.1 Halswell Ward.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.15 The decision does 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.

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

6.18 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address parking space availability in this location. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not intended to have any impact on climate change.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

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

7. Delegates authority to the Community Board Chairperson and Community Governance Manager to amend the Board meeting and Information Session schedule, as required.

3. Background/Context Te Horopaki

3.1 The staff recommendation in this report, for the Board to adopt a meeting schedule through September 2028, has been developed based on several factors:

· The meeting schedule for the previous Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board during the last term.

· The holding of one ordinary Board meeting in each calendar month, with the exception of April 2026.

· Consideration of other commitments on the Council calendar, e.g. Council meetings, Recess Week.

4. Background Te Horopaki

4.1 The decisions in this report are of low significance concerning the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4.2 In order for the business of the Board to be conducted in an orderly manner, and to ensure public notification of meetings is given in compliance with the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (LGOIMA), it is recommended that the Board adopt a schedule of meetings in line with the Officer’s Recommendation.

4.3 It is recognised that events may arise or circumstances may change, requiring revisions to the meeting schedule or the addition of further meetings. To address this, the Board may delegate to the Community Governance Manager, in consultation with the Community Board Chairperson, the authority to amend the ordinary meeting schedule as required.

4.4 Any additional meetings will be appropriately publicly notified in compliance with the LGOIMA and Local Government Act 2002.

4.5 The only alternative to adopting a meeting schedule is to hold meetings on an ad hoc basis. This approach would create difficulties with the timely advertising of meetings and could result in clashes with other Council and Committee meetings, making it challenging to schedule Board meetings effectively.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Riccarton Bush Trust

4.1 The Council has an interest and the right to make appointments to a number of Council organisations. The statutory definition of a council organisation includes those entities to which the Council has the right to appoint one or more trustees, directors or members (S6, Local Government Act 2002). Incorporated under a 1914 Act of Parliament, the Riccarton Bush Trust is a Council Controlled Organisation (CCO).

4.2 The Trust manages the 6.4-hectare native bush remnant gifted to the people of Canterbury in 1914 with operating funds provided by the Council in accordance with the Riccarton Bush Amendment Act 2012.

4.3 In accordance with the Riccarton Bush Amendment Act 2012:

(2) The Christchurch City Council must appoint 5 members, as follows:

(a) 3 must be persons whom the council decides to appoint:

4.5 This report recommends that the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board appoints one member of the Board to the Riccarton Bust Trust, with one member to be appointed by Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood.

Ruapuna Community Liaison Committee

4.6 The operative Rule 13.10.4.1.5 of the Christchurch Replacement District Plan requires the lessees of the Ruapuna Motorsport Park, with support from the Council, to form and operate a Community Liaison Committee.

4.7 In total, there are seven members of the Ruapuna Committee Liaison Committee, three members from the Templeton community, two members from Canterbury Car Club, one member from Christchurch Speedway Association and one elected member from Christchurch City Council.

4.8 It has been practice for the Council appointee to the Committee to be recommended to Council by the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board from among its members.

Te Poutama Ārahi Rangatahi Community Liaison Committee

4.9 The Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board is delegated by Council to appoint the Council’s representative(s) to the Community Liaison Committee under regulation 34(2)(b) of the Oranga Tamariki (Residential Care) Regulations 1996 to Te Poutama Ārahi Rangatahi (Harmful Sexual Behaviour programme) in Christchurch.

Keep Christchurch Beautiful Incorporated Society

4.10 Keep Christchurch Beautiful is a voluntary organisation that promotes a cleaner, more beautiful environment within Christchurch, and raises the level of awareness of what the individual can do to improve his or her community, reduce litter and support environmental improvements. Keep Christchurch Beautiful holds charitable status and is an Incorporated Society.

4.11 The constitution of Keep Christchurch Beautiful states that the organisation’s Executive Committee shall be constituted of one member representing each Community Board, one Councillor representing Christchurch City Council and such members as nominated at the Annual General Meeting.

4.12 The recommendation in this report is for the Board to appoint one member with voting privileges to the Executive Committee of Keep Christchurch Beautiful.

Hornby Community Care Trust

4.13 The constitution of Hornby Community Care Trust states that the Board of Trustees should consist no fewer than six trustees. One Trustee is to be appointed from the Community Board.

4.14 The recommendation in this report is for the Board to appoint one member with voting privileges to the Board of Hornby Community Care Trust.

Neighbourhood Support Christchurch Area Incorporated

4.15 The constitution of Neighbourhood Support Christchurch Area Incorporated states that the District Committee shall comprise a maximum of two representatives of the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board area.

4.16 The recommendation in this report is for the Community Board to consider representatives from the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board area to participate in the District Committee of Neighbourhood Support Christchurch Area.

Christchurch Beautifying Association

4.17 The Christchurch Beautifying Association runs annual Street and Garden Awards. The Association regularly seeks a representative from the Board to participate in the judging of the awards held in the early part of each year. The Board has the option to nominate a representative to participate in judging at the request of the association, with the understanding that another member could step in if necessary.

Airport Noise Liaison Committee

4.18 The Airport Noise Liaison Committee is operated by Christchurch International Airport Limited (CIAL) as a requirement under the Christchurch District Plan. The Committee was formed in 2017 to address District Plan Rule 6.1.6.2.7.3 to enable communication about noise between the airport, Council and the community. The committee receives updates on operations at the airport and reviews noise complaints received.

4.19 The Airport Noise Liaison Committee’s function is to make recommendations to the airport operator on matters including:

· Any community concerns regarding noise from aircraft operations and engine testing

· Liaison with, and provision of relevant information to the community

· Airport Noise Management Plans and an Acoustic Treatment Programme for properties within the airport noise contours.

The District Plan requires a minimum of two Community Board members to be appointed to the Committee but allows for more.

In 2023, the Committee noted that there had been a series of unconnected complaints from the Halswell, Rolleston, Wigram areas and requested nomination of Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board members to become members of the Committee.

Key Local Stakeholders and Resident Associations

4.20 In the past, the Community Board has appointed members to act as ‘Board Liaison’ for local Resident Associations. However, the Board have not appointed members to liaise with other key local organisations, nor is the ‘liaison role’ clearly defined.

4.21 Effective representation and governance involve attending many meetings and events in the local community and being a great networker. Whakawhanaungatanga, that is the process of establishing relationships and relating well to others, should not be limited to resident associations; rather, it should include all key local stakeholders.

4.22 Interactions with Resident Associations, as with other key local stakeholders, are not limited to the time and date of Resident Association meetings. A number of network meetings alongside a variety of other opportunities, both formal and informal, currently exist for board members, community groups, resident associations and other key local stakeholders to interact. Furthermore, Resident Associations regularly participate in the ‘Public Forum’ and provide information directly to the Board.

4.23 As with the last triennium, there is no recommendation that individual community board members be appointed as liaisons with resident associations this triennium. Rather, all members are encouraged to note the existing resident associations and other key local stakeholders in the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton community board area and are encouraged to interact with these groups regularly. Opportunities for interaction will continue to be provided to elected members through the Weekly Schedule.

4.24 Resident Associations in the Board include:

· Central Riccarton Residents’ Association

· Church Corner Residents’ Association

· Deans Avenue Precinct Society

· Greater Hornby Residents’ Association

· Halswell Residents’ Association

· Ilam and Upper Riccarton Residents’ Association

· Riccarton Bush/Kilmarnock Residents’ Association

· Sockburn Residents' Association

· Templeton Residents’ Association

· Yaldhurst Rural Residents’ Association

8. Acknowledges the decision-making process approved by the previous Board on 14 August 2025 for grants from the 2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development, Off the Ground Fund, and Summer with Your Neighbours Funds as follows:

Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development Fund:

· Delegation to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Governance Manager the authority to make decisions on allocations from the 2025–26 Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development Fund, where the staff recommendation is up to and including $400.

· Adopts the following decision-making process for the allocation of grants from the 2025–26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development Fund where the staff recommended amount exceeds $400:

· Staff to email a summary of the application and recommendation on it to all members.

· Where at least five (5) Board members respond by email within two working days, the majority view on allocation will be adopted and actioned by staff.

· Delegation to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Governance Manager to decide grants up to and including $400 from the 2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Off the Ground Fund.

2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Summer with Your Neighbours Fund grant applications:

· Delegation to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Governance Manager to decide grants up to and including $200 from the Summer with Your Neighbours Fund.

9. Confirms that it adopts the decision-making process for grants from Youth Development, Off the Ground and Summer with your Neighbours Funds as per (8) above, for the remainder of the 2025-26 year.

3. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Consideration of a Casting Vote

2.1 The Local Government Act 2002 (24 schedule 7) provides that, unless Standing Orders provide otherwise, matters are decided by majority vote and, in the case of a tie, there is no casting vote for the Chairperson.

2.2 The Standing Orders adopted by the Council on 6 April 2017 provide that the Mayor, or any other person presiding at a Council or committee meeting has a deliberative vote and, where the votes are equal, does not have a casting vote but for meetings of community boards and their committees, each community board shall decide whether the chairperson shall have a casting vote.

2.3 Therefore, in terms of Standing Orders, each Community Board has the opportunity to decide whether or not a Chairperson is to have a casting vote.

Submissions

2.4 Clause 30, Schedule 7 of the Local Government Act 2002 inter alia, provides that community boards may appoint committees, subcommittees or other subordinate decision-making bodies and joint committees considered appropriate. Committee meetings are subject to the public notification requirements of the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

2.5 The Board has, in the past, established a Submissions Committee to prepare and approve submissions on behalf of the Board. It was, however, logistically challenging, particularly when meetings were required at short notice to meet the statutory notification requirements for meetings, with sufficient time for the committee to meet, consider and finalise of a submission ahead of the closing date of the relevant consultation.

2.6 In the last term, Board authority was delegated to the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson to, in consultation with Board members, consider submission opportunities and decide whether to make submissions on behalf of the Board and to finalise and lodge submissions. All submissions lodged were reported to the Board. Transparency in the process was preserved by the Board Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson’s consultation with Board members, being at a workshop open to the public and livestreamed.

2.7 The recommendation of this report is to continue the process established by the previous Board term for the preparation and submission of Board submissions. This process delegates authority to the Chairperson and Deputy Chairperson to, in consultation with Board members, consider submission opportunities, determine whether a submission should be made on behalf of the Board, and draft, refine, and lodge submissions. The recommended arrangements address the practicalities of the time-constrained nature of processes and provide agility and flexibility for the Board to respond to submission opportunities.

Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development, Off the Ground Fund and Summer with your Neighbours Funds 2025-26

2.8 At its meeting on 14 August 2025, the Board established the: Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development Fund 2025-26; Off the Ground Fund 2025-26; and Summer with your Neighbours Funds 2025-26. Furthermore, the Board approved the following decision-making process for the allocation of grants from each of the above Funds:

2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Youth Development Fund.

a) Application details and staff recommendations to be sent to all Board members via email with a request for a response within two business days.

b) The response of at least five members with the same decision (approval, decline or amendment) will constitute the Board decision.

c) In the event that less than five members respond within two business days, the Board decision will be taken to be decline.

2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Off the Ground Fund:

· Delegation to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Governance Manager to decide grants up to and including $400 from the 2025-26 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Off the Ground Fund.

3.1.1 Summer with your neighbours

A Summer with your Neighbours graphic of an outside gathering of people sharing food together.

Summer with your neighbours is about bringing people closer together and celebrating the unique and diverse mix of each neighbourhood.

30 applications have been received for Summer with your neighbours grants, which have been granted under authority delegated by the Community Governance Manager (refer to Attachment A).

The Board allocated $4,000 towards the 2025/26, Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Summer with your neighbours grants at its meeting held on Thursday, 14 August 2025.

As the Board resolved to extend the application and event timeframe, applications for events proposed to be held within the Halswell, Hornby and Riccarton wards can be submitted until 26 March 2026. Events are to be held between 1 October 2025 and 31 March 2026.

Applications for a small funding subsidy can be made by completing an application form available by emailing halswell.hornby.riccarton@ccc.govt.nz

3.1.2 Riccarton Central Youth Audit Workshop
A group of 25 young people (representing nine youth groups, six schools and the University of Canterbury), took part in a workshop to consider and prioritise the recommendations from the 2024 Riccarton Central Youth Audit.

The workshop featured a session on how Council works, ways to influence decisions and create positive change for youth in Riccarton Central. The top two recommendations identified by youth as highest priority were the creation of dedicated hangout spaces in Riccarton Central and improvements to the local bus lounges.

As a result, six young people will present the Youth Audit recommendations, the outcomes and their implementation ideas to the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board in February.

3.1.3 Matatiki Play Space Opening
The nature-based play space at Matatiki was completed in mid-September and a small community activation was held to celebrate the completion of the space.

Local playgroups and preschools joined in the play and Storytimes session, followed by a sausage sizzle hosted by the Greater Hornby Residents’ Association. The new play space is designed for children aged 0-6 and includes a slide with a wooden platform; logs for sitting and balancing; a bench seat and informal seating on log rounds; a tunnel and a balancing beam.

3.1.4 Community Preparedness

A workshop was held in September with community organisation representatives with the objective of initiating Community Emergency Preparedness plans within the Board area. Plans are collectively produced by a community as guides that help them organise resources, people, and actions to respond effectively to disasters and emergency situations. It is envisaged that these will be similar to those prepared by several other communities in the city.

Staff from the Community Governance Team and Civil Defence and Emergency Management Team facilitated the workshop and will continue to support the community groupings in the development of their plans.

Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and the Council’s Civil Defence and Emergency Management Team also held a wildfire prevention information session at the Halswell Community Hub in November.

3.1.5 Wycola Skate Park Art Design Competition

An art competition to design the Wycola Skate Park hamster wheel received a total of ninety artwork submissions from students aged 5 to 18, with the majority coming from local Hornby schools.

A selection of shortlisted designs was displayed at Matatiki Library, where the community was invited to vote for their favourite. Future plans for showcasing student artwork include installations along the pathway at Wycola Skate Park and participation in a local art exhibition.

3.1.6 Community Vision Review Workshops

In 2022 and 2023, community members in each of the wards collaborated together to form a community vision for each ward.

Three years on, review workshops have been held in each of the wards to reassess the visions and aspirations of each community.

3.2 Community Events

3.2.1 Our Riccarton, Our Community, Let’s Have Fun Community Day

The annual free event was held on Saturday, 18 October at Harrington Park. Combining entertainment, activities and food, everything was free. Comments from the community asking what they liked about the day included “sense of community is strong, brings people out of their houses – including those who you don’t normally see” and “Love being with friends and having fun”.

3.2.2 Halswell Heritage Display

The Halswell Residents' Association (HRA) organised a Halswell Heritage Display on Saturday, 11 October and Sunday, 12 October at Halswell Community Hub.

The event drew approximately 120 attendees and featured John Moore, whose extensive local knowledge greatly enriched the experience. One memorable moment involved a query about "Jack Rogers Drive," where volunteers shared Jack’s contributions to Halswell Quarry Park and his stonework, while John added insights into Jack’s career as a linesman and the history of his home at Kennedys Bush Road.

This gathering was part of the broader HRA place-building programme, which includes the John Moore project, the Huritini mataī initiative, and the annual ANZAC commemoration. Most attendees learned about the event through the Halswell Newsletter, and the Halswell Community Hub proved to be an ideal venue - spacious, accessible, well-lit, and welcoming. There’s strong potential to repeat the event in future years.

3.2.3 Riccarton Street Party

Approximately 1,500 people came onto the Elizabeth Street site through the event on Sunday, 2 November. The weather was amazing, so the bouncy castles and petting zoo were constantly busy. The clothing stall gave away a massive amount of clothing, 1,250 sausages were eaten, and the candy floss stall went through three kilograms of sugar. More than 100 litres of water were consumed, as well as a similar amount of coffee.

The day was widely enjoyed by the community, fostering a strong sense of connection and shared celebration. Families, children, and individuals of all ages participated enthusiastically in the activities, creating an atmosphere of joy and inclusivity.

3.2.4 Halswell Toy Library Open Day

The Halswell Toy Library held a successful open fun day on 8 November. Along with cakes and toys for sale, those attending were able to enjoy a bouncy castle, sausage sizzle, face painting and colouring competitions.

It was an opportunity for the Library to recruit new members as well as survey the community about the toys they’d like to see in the library.

3.2.5 Hornby Community Centre - Fundraiser Quiz

The Hornby Community Centre hosted a successful fundraiser quiz on Thursday, 13 November. The community were invited for a fun night of trivia, raffles, and prizes, as a fundraising effort to support the Centre’s community-run café and social connect space.

The quiz night highlighted the strong sense of community in Hornby, with participants contributing generously and enjoying the opportunity to connect with one another.

3.2.6 Halswell Family Fun Day
Halswell Community Church, who run the Halswell youth connections programme at the hub, held its annual Family Fun Day.

It was a day of fun community interaction, good food, and countless activities including live music, horse riding and a pre-loved clothing stand. Approximately 700 community members attended.

3.2.7 Share Kai and Kōrero – Hornby
The Share Kai Cooks Collective provides opportunities for former refugee women who face barriers to participating in the workforce and society, for social connection and financial security. The Collective is made up of passionate and capable cooks from ethnic communities not often visible in the hospitality scene in Aotearoa.

The Hornby Community Centre collaborated with Share Kai and Kōrero to host a series of community kai sessions in the newly expanded event centre. Over three consecutive Fridays in November and December, hundreds of community members came together to share meals celebrating the rich flavours and heritage of Nepal, Afghanistan and Eritrea.

4. Advice Provided to the Community Board Ngā Kupu Tohutohu ka hoatu ki te Poari Hapori

4.1 Pedestrian safety at Matipo and Maxwell Streets

At its meeting on 10 April 2025, the Board heard a Public Forum presentation regarding concerns about the safety of the intersection of Matipo and Maxwell Streets and the pedestrian crossing facility on Matipo Street opposite Westfield Mall. The Board referred the matters raised in the presentation to staff for investigation and to provide advice on:

1. Any possible safety improvements to the pedestrian crossing facility, and

2. Any measures that can be implemented to improve safety at the Matipo and Maxwell Streets intersection for all users

Staff have undertaken an initial investigation and considered options to improve pedestrian access at the Matipo Street / Maxwell Street intersection.

Staff advise that the traffic volume and turning movements at this intersection are increasingly making it more challenging for a range of road users- including drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Given this is on the southwestern boundary to Westfield Riccarton, this is also always likely to be a busy intersection. Signalisation of the intersection is likely to be the preferred option on balance. This would need to be investigated further, in particular, with Network Planning, to determine the possible effects on the network, and then prioritised against other locations to be funded. This would need to be a Long Term Plan item.

Staff consider that there are similarities between this intersection and the Clarence Street / Dilworth Street intersection, which is signalised.

Vehicle turning movement restrictions are not considered to be a viable option given the demand and potential downstream effects. There are also certain times of the day and night in which turning movements can be undertaken relatively easily.

Staff have indicated that they are willing to discuss this further with the presenter on site.

4.2 Te Kuru Wetlands Interpretive Centre Project

At its meeting on the 10 July 2025, the Board requested advice on how the Te Kuru Wetland Interpretive Centre project can be progressed.

Staff have advised that the Council’s Three Waters Te Kuru project has agreed in principle to support Cashmere Rotary’s Wharenui shelter initiative, pending final design and site approval.

The Council’s Parks Unit and Te Kuru project team have met with representatives from Cashmere Rotary on site to outline the Council’s requirements and respond to any queries raised by the Rotary Club.

Cashmere Rotary will manage the design, consenting, and construction, while the Council will take over maintenance once the shelter is completed and formally accepted.

4.3 Wigram Road and Hayton Road Intersection Layout Updates

At its meeting on the 14 August 2025, the Board requested that staff investigate and provide advice on the installation of a footpath on the south side of Wigram Road.

Staff have advised that this was added as a late candidate for the new footpath programme and was assessed and placed beyond FY2028. Its delivery timeframe will be reviewed next year.

Project briefs are currently being developed for twelve prioritised candidates scheduled for FY2026/27 and have now been assigned a project manager.

4.4 South Express Major Cycle Route

A staff memorandum has been provided to the Board noting the progress of the Puari ki Niho-toto South Express Cycleway, which connects Templeton to the Central City, via Islington, Sockburn, Hornby, Upper Riccarton and Riccarton (see Attachment C).

4.5 Awatea Athletics Club Lease Application at Te Kahu Park

A staff memorandum has been provided to the Board regarding the Awatea Athletics Club consultation to install storage containers and athletic training facilities at Te Kahu Park. (see Attachment D).

4.6 Bermuda Reserve play space renewal
