1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide information to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board regarding consultation feedback and other significant considerations relating to the possible extensions of overnight parking restrictions on Broadpark Road.

1.2 This report has been written in response to the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board resolution CCBCC/2025/00075 from 11 August 2025 which requested that staff ‘consult with the community and stakeholders on proposed options to extend the parking restrictions of the angled carparks along Broadpark Road down to Larnach Street …’.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Broadpark Road - Considerations for Extension of Overnight Parking Restrictions Report.

3. Background/Context Te Horopaki

3.1 At the 2 April 2025 Council meeting a resident from Broadpark Road shared concerns about noise impacts from vehicles parked overnight on Broadpark Road. The resident said they were distressed by the noise of slamming and sliding van doors impacting her household’s sleep and asked the Council to act.

3.2 Noise control officers have responded to noise complaints (relating to music and general people noise) on Broadpark Road however monitoring has not been carried out due to the intermittent nature of any noise generated.

3.3 On 12 May 2025 the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board agreed to a three-month trial of overnight parking restrictions for 20 angled parks on Broadpark Road. While the trial was underway, the Council consulted with the public on their views.

3.4 After analysing the 31 submissions received, staff recommended that the overnight parking restrictions on 20 parking spaces be made permanent to reduce the disruption to directly affected residents, whilst allowing vehicles to continue to utilise the remaining 35 marked, unrestricted parking spaces along Broadpark Road.

3.5 Amending the Council’s Freedom Camping Bylaw to address the concerns was not a viable option, hence overnight parking restrictions were proposed.

3.6 At its meeting held on 11 August 11 2025, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board agreed with staff to permanently restrict parking overnight for 20 parking spaces on Broadpark Road and asked staff to consult on extending the restrictions to Larnach Street (proposing restrictions to an additional 26 parking spaces).

3.7 The Community Board decision on 11 August allows 35 unrestricted marked parking spaces along Broadpark Road. Extending restrictions to an additional 26 parking spaces would leave nine unrestricted parking spaces.

	Total marked angled car parking spaces on Broadpark Road = 55	Car parking spaces with overnight restrictions		Unrestricted car parking spaces
	Original approach in response to identified issue	20 car parking spaces		35 unrestricted car parking spaces
	Board direction to consult on extending	26 further parking spaces, resulting in 46 restricted car parking spaces		9 unrestricted car parking spaces

Current / yellow overnight parking restrictions, proposed / white overnight parking restrictions, green unrestricted carpark spaces. See Broadpark Road overnight parking restrictions \| Kōrero mai \| Let’s talk			City Coastal Restricted Zone (yellow), Christchurch Urban Restricted Area (orange), prohibited areas (red). See Camping and campervans : CCC

3.8 Limiting the restrictions to 20 parking spaces addresses concerns raised by affected residents while minimising impacts to anyone else wanting to park in this location overnight.

4. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Regulation of Freedom Camping Activities

There is some complexity to note on how Council Bylaws and (legislative) Acts interact that may affect future decision making. The various areas are outlined below.

The Freedom Camping Act and bylaws made under the Act

4.1 The Freedom Camping Act 2011 regulates freedom camping in New Zealand. The Act allows anyone to freedom camp on any council land if certain conditions are met, unless a bylaw or other law prohibits or restricts it.

4.2 The Act gives councils limited powers to put bylaws in place to restrict or prohibit freedom camping. The bylaw-making powers in section 11(b) of the Act set out the following:

A local authority may make a bylaw… only if it is satisfied that—

(a) the bylaw is necessary for 1 or more of the following purposes:

(i) to protect the area:

(ii) to protect the health and safety of people who may visit the area:

(iii) to protect access to the area; and

(b) the bylaw is the most appropriate and proportionate way of addressing the perceived problem in relation to that area; and

(c) the bylaw is not inconsistent with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.

4.3 These bylaw-making powers are limited and the assessment requirements further limit what can be considered and regulated. A council must be satisfied that a bylaw is necessary for a specific range of purposes (and only those purposes). It must identify the perceived problems in relation to an area and then be satisfied that a bylaw is the most appropriate and proportionate way of addressing those problems.

4.4 The Act makes it clear that bylaws cannot be made that have the effect of prohibiting freedom camping in a council’s district. This includes applying other regulatory tools (such as the Traffic and Parking Bylaw) that may work to prohibit or restrict freedom camping and their overall collective impact.

4.5 The proposition of restricting overnight parking in a small set of parking spaces is quite different to restricting overnight parking along the majority of the angle parks on Broadpark Road (which could be viewed as having the effect of prohibiting freedom camping and is in contravention of the Freedom Camping Act 2011).

4.6 Bylaws can be challenged by Judicial Review and under the Bylaws Act 1910. Recent case law on a freedom camping bylaw challenge[1] concluded that a bylaw was invalid because it considered “irrelevant matters” – matters outside of section 11(a)(i), (ii) and (iii). This included consideration of impacts on private land.

4.7 Care needs to be taken as to what considerations are used to determine whether an area should or can be regulated with a freedom camping bylaw under the Freedom Camping Act, and that any considerations align with the assessment criteria in the Act.

4.8 The Freedom Camping Act does not provide clear means to protect residents from impacts such as noise.

Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021

4.9 The Council has had a bylaw to regulate freedom camping since 2015. It was amended in 2016, again in 2018 and was reviewed in 2020/2021. Legislation requires that bylaws must be reviewed at least once every ten years (the next scheduled review date for the Freedom Camping Bylaw is 2031). An amendment can be made at any time, provided the requirements of the FCA are met and resourcing allows.

4.10 The Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021 restricts freedom camping on Broadpark Road as it is included in the City Coastal Restricted Zone. Certified self-contained vehicles are able to freedom camp within the zone for a maximum of four nights in any 30-day period, with only two nights in any one place. The bylaw restricts campers from spreading across parking spaces or taking up more than one parking space with their vehicle, equipment or activities.

4.11 The 2021 review of the bylaw included changes to address concerns about freedom camping activities in the city coastal area, including creating the City Coastal Restricted Zone. This limits how long freedom campers can stay in the coastal area. It was amended to include Broadpark Road following submissions. The restrictions in the area are similar to other residential areas in the city and Banks Peninsula, however have slightly more limitations to prevent freedom campers from remaining in the area for longer than intended.

4.12 Camping is prohibited in parks and reserves by the Council’s Parks and Reserves Bylaw 2016. In some cases, this includes associated carparks (depending on the legal status of the land). The two car parking areas at either end of Broad Park are within park boundaries, so camping is prohibited under the Parks and Reserves Bylaw.

4.13 The Parks and Reserves Bylaw is made under different legislation (the Reserves Act 1977 and the Local Government Act 2002) and in order to enable any form of camping on park or reserve land a separate assessment would need to be undertaken to determine if it is possible or appropriate.

Land Transport Act 1998 and Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017

4.14 The current overnight parking restrictions are applied under the Council’s Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, which is made under the Land Transport Act 1998.

4.15 The Land Transport Act has a wide range of bylaw-making powers, some of which relate to parking restrictions. The bylaw enables parking restrictions to be put in place by resolution under the bylaw, and decision-making is delegated to community boards. Alternatively, freedom camping changes would require an amendment to a bylaw.

4.16 There is no prescribed assessment criteria for regulating under transport legislation, whereas the Freedom Camping Act has clear and narrow assessment criteria.

Good regulatory practice

4.17 The general concept of good regulatory practice in relation to bylaws involves:

· clear problem identification

· an exploration of options to address the problem(s), including non-regulatory options

· a good understanding of the regulatory context and its limitations

· using the right regulatory tool to address the problem(s)

· understanding the benefits and risks of regulating.

4.18 As set out above, freedom camping legislation has clear and narrow assessment criteria for regulating and cannot take into account “irrelevant matters” outside of the assessment criteria (including impacts on nearby private property). It also does not enable overall regulation that has the effect of prohibiting freedom camping in a council’s district when all regulation is taken into account. This means freedom camping powers should be used only where necessary and appropriate. The situation on Broadpark Road does not meet the assessment criteria.

4.19 Transport legislation has wider powers and does not come with the same assessment criteria, however, must still have a logical connection between the problem and the regulatory response and must be considered “reasonable”. Care needs to be taken not to apply regulation in a way that may create legal risk.

4.20 Any use of regulatory power can be challenged, and this includes the process used to apply regulatory power (i.e. regulate with a bylaw or regulate using a power in a bylaw).

Overnight parking restrictions, prohibiting freedom camping and daytime activities

4.21 Key information about regulating with overnight parking restrictions, and impacts on freedom camping and daytime activities:

· overnight parking restrictions apply to all vehicles and not to a specific class of vehicle

· restrictions would limit any vehicle from remaining in a parking space between the hours of 10pm and 7am

· this would also apply to residents’ vehicles and any visitors they may have, as well as vehicles left overnight after events at the café, for example

· during the day people in vehicles that can be used for freedom camping have the same parking rights and obligations as any other vehicle

4.22 Key information about regulating to prohibit freedom camping:

· the assessment criteria make it difficult to prohibit freedom camping, and impacts on nearby private property are not a part of what can be considered under legislation

· freedom camping is largely about sleeping overnight in a vehicle (during the day people in vehicles that can be used for freedom camping have the same parking rights and obligations as any other vehicle).

4.23 Some of the concerns raised in submissions related to assumed impacts from freedom camping activities, like rubbish and damage to facilities – these would not necessarily be impacted even if freedom camping could be prohibited. Additionally, littering is already an offence, as is damage, under other laws.

4.24 Some submitters mentioned Park Run, a weekly running event that starts at the corner of Broadpark Road and Larnach Street on Saturday mornings at 8am. As with many Park Run events, parking is limited and online information about the event advises attendees to consider this when planning their involvement.

Freedom camping activities

4.25 Freedom campers may be drawn to Broadpark Road as it has angle parks, looks over Broad Park, and has facilities and beach access nearby. This may be preferrable to parking on a street with houses on both sides and no view of greenspace. Restrictions may displace campers to less appropriate areas.

4.26 Rankers is a popular tourism app with a broad range of information related to freedom camping. As with many camping-related apps, users can add pins and details about their experiences. Broadpark Road had been added as a freedom camping location, which may have contributed to its popularity and potentially concentrated campers in this area (when in fact they can freedom camp on any roadside in the zone, and in some off-road car parks).

4.27 The Rankers pin has since been removed - the effect of this recent change is yet to be determined. People can continue to freedom camp in this location, but by removing the pin recommending it, it may mean fewer campers are drawn to the area.

4.28 The monitoring of freedom camping on Broadpark Road is as follows:

· 1 Oct until 30Nov: Monitoring of freedom campers on Friday evenings, Saturday mornings and evening, Sunday morning and evenings.

· 1 Dec until 31May: Monitoring of freedom campers 7 days a week morning and evening.

Outside of these monitoring times Council will only respond at the time an issue is reported. There is currently no availability to respond to non-compliance with parking restrictions outside of the Parking Enforcement Team operating hours.

During monitoring photos are being taken and vehicle counts noted. This excludes people displaced/experiencing homelessness.

So far, contractors and Council staff carrying out routine monitoring report that the evidence gathered this season shows general compliance with overnight parking restrictions on Broadpark Road. There has been one ticket issued for a vehicle parking in a restricted area after hours and one incident where another vehicle was ushered away from the area.

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

4.29 There is a risk of precedence-setting and the potential raising of expectations about using overnight parking restrictions under the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 for the ongoing management of freedom campers in the area. This is likely to result in greater scrutiny and the increased likely risk of legal challenge.

4.30 There is a risk that putting overnight parking restrictions in place may displace freedom campers. This is mitigated by the current restrictions being limited to 20 angled parks but would not be the case if overnight parking restrictions were to be extended to 55 angled parks along most of the road.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

4.31 The Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021 limits freedom camping in the City Coastal Restricted Zone, which includes Broadpark Road. The Freedom Camping Bylaw is the appropriate regulatory mechanism to address freedom camping issues. However, there are limitations on the use of bylaws to address issues associated with freedom camping activities. The Freedom Camping Act 2011 takes a permissive approach to freedom camping and only empowers councils to regulate freedom camping with a bylaw in limited circumstances. Those limited circumstances are not applicable to the situation on Broadpark Road and therefore the decision to impose further restrictions holds a high risk of legal challenge.

4.32 The Freedom Camping Act 2011 makes it clear that bylaws cannot be made that have the effect of prohibiting freedom camping in a council’s district. This includes using other regulatory tools that may work to prohibit or restrict freedom camping and their overall collective impact. The proposition of restricting overnight parking in a small set of parking spaces is quite different to restricting overnight parking along the majority of the angle parks on Broadpark Road (which could be viewed as having the effect of prohibiting freedom camping).

4.33 This report has been written using a general approach previously approved of by the Legal Services Unit and has been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

4.34 Consultation was held from 5 to 23 November 2025.

4.35 Consultation details, including links to the project information shared on the Kōrero mai | Let’s talk webpage, were advertised via:

· An email sent to everyone who submitted on the temporary overnight parking restrictions in June 2025.

· A letter drop to the Broadpark Road residents who did not submit previously.

· An email sent to Brighton Beach House (café), Waimairi Beach Residents’ Association, Broad Park Parkrun, and the Waimairi Beach Surf Club.

· A sign in front of the car parks.

4.36 The Kōrero mai | Let’s talk webpage had 114 views throughout the consultation period.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

4.37 Submissions were made by one recognised organisation and 19 individuals. Four of these submitters live on Broadpark Road. All submissions are currently available on our Kōrero mai | Let’s talk webpage.

4.38 The New Zealand Motor Caravan Association has expressed reservations about the process and legal basis for extending the restrictions. In particular they are concerned that it circumvents the Freedom Camping Act 2011.

4.39 When asked whether they have any concerns about overnight parking on Broadpark Road,

· 15 submitters responded Yes

· 2 submitters responded No

· 3 submitters did not respond to this question.

4.40 When asked whether they are experiencing any impacts from overnight parking on Broadpark Road,

· 8 submitters responded Yes

· 9 submitters responded No

· 3 submitters did not respond to this question.

4.41 The key themes raised by submitters when commenting on their concerns and/or how they are impacted included:

· Rubbish (7)

· Noise (5)

· Availability of parking spaces (4).

4.42 In terms of extending the restrictions,

· 14 submitters were supportive

· 5 submitters were not supportive

· 1 submitter did not specify.

4.43 Of those who live on Broadpark Road, two support extending the restrictions and two don’t support extending them.

4.44 The main reasons given for wanting the restrictions to be extended were:

· It would improve parking availability (5)

· Broadpark Road is not suitable for camping due to the proximity of residential housing (5).

4.45 Submitters who did not support extending the restrictions suggested that alternative mechanisms should be used to address noise-related issues and that the current restrictions are sufficient.

5. Final Analysis

5.1 The initial concern was in relation to distress of resident/s from an individual property, however, the extension to a further 26 car parking spaces is outside the scope of the initial concern. It is not clear what problem the extension of further overnight parking would be seeking to address. Normal good regulatory practice would involve identifying the perceived issue and then assessing options to address the issue, and if regulating, using the appropriate regulatory tool(s).

5.2 There are few, if any, regulatory options for addressing concerns about noise from vehicles coming and going and/or opening and closing of doors overnight. Overnight parking restrictions were viewed as the most appropriate option for addressing the very localised concerns that were initially raised.

5.3 There is no proposal to amend the Freedom Camping Bylaw 2021. There are no clear grounds under the Freedom Camping Act 2011 to amend the bylaw to address these very localised concerns.

5.4 It is difficult to monitor compliance with overnight parking restrictions as the suggested restrictions fall outside of Parking Enforcement operating hours. Contractors monitor freedom camping concerns however cannot issue infringements.

5.5 Of the 19 submissions received only 4 were from residents of Broadpark Road. 2 were in support of extending restrictions and 2 were against. It could be argued that this feedback holds high value as these individuals are most likely to experience potential impacts of overnight parking.

5.6 Staff recommend that the Board do not pursue extending overnight restrictions on Broadpark Road. The current number of carparks with overnight restrictions were put in to address a specific localised issue. Limiting the restrictions to these 20 parking spaces directly addresses the initial concern raised (being the distress of some residents living on Broadpark Road) while minimising impacts to residents and visitors wanting to park in this location overnight.

11. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in this staff report are in place.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Concerns have been raised regarding on street parking limiting accessibility at the end of Bancroft Place, particularly for oversized and/or emergency vehicles.

3.2 During the investigation it was noted Woodhaven Place has a similar layout to Bancroft Place and therefore could experience the same potential problem. Staff decided to include no stopping restrictions on Woodhaven Place in this report to prevent these issues occurring.

3.3 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A. The length of No Stopping in this option is the minimum length needed to provide access for vehicles of all sizes (including emergency vehicles) to manoeuvre around the island/s.

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.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The top end of both Bancroft Place and Woodhaven Place host (approximately) 11 metre, single landscaped traffic islands.

4.2 There is no obvious damage to the concrete edging of the islands or any tyre tracks through the landscaped areas. This indicates traffic is not frequently mounting the kerb due to parked vehicles restricting space for manoeuvrability of moving vehicles.

4.3 Vehicle tracking demonstrates the difficulty large trucks and emergency vehicles may have manoeuvring around the island/s (as shown in Attachment B). This is supported by feedback from Waste Management who advise they have not experienced an issue yet but expect they would if a vehicle was parked on street.

4.4 There is a Bowling and Rugby Club nearby (within approximately 250 metres), however, it is assumed that on both streets parking demand is limited to residents and their visitors.

4.5 There have been no recorded crashes on these streets within the last ten years.

4.6 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).

10. Marine Parade - Parking Bay Resolution Adjustments
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2491132
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Nic Catto, Project Manager
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to approve traffic resolutions in two of the six parking bays on the east side of Marine Parade. The resolutions relate to the positioning of parking spaces and no stopping lines within these two parking bays.

1.2 The report is presented in response to a request from elected members at the June 2025 meeting of the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Marine Parade - Parking Bay Resolution Adjustments 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. Notes that recommendations 4 and 5 below address the previous Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board request to investigate relocating no-stopping lines and parking spaces in Bays 3 and 6 of the approved Marine Parade scheme design, shifting them from the eastern to the western side.

4. Revokes the 9 June 2025 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board decisions only in relation to 6c and 6f, as noted below:

6. Approves, pursuant to Clause 8 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times within the parking bays in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Agenda Attachment A (Drawing TP363103, sheet 1 and 2, dated 13/05/2025) and detailed in 6a -6f below, unless otherwise marked as designated parking space:

c. In Parking Bay 3, on the eastern side of Marine Parade 341 metres south of the prolongation of the southern kerb of Bowhill Road.

f. In Parking Bay 6, on the eastern side of Marine Parade 36 metres south of the prolongation of the southern kerb of Rawhiti Avenue.

5. Approves, pursuant to Clause 8 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at all times within the parking bays in accordance with that shown on the plan provided as Agenda Attachment A (Drawing, sheet 1 and 2, dated 16/12/2025) and detailed in 4a – 4b below, unless otherwise marked as designated parking space:

a. In Parking Bay 3, on the eastern side of Marine Parade 341 metres south of the prolongation of the southern kerb of Bowhill Road.

b. In Parking Bay 6, on the eastern side of Marine Parade 36 metres south of the prolongation of the southern kerb of Rawhiti Avenue.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board approved detailed traffic resolutions for the Marine Parade CRAF project at their 9 June 2025 meeting.

3.2 At the meeting, staff were requested to investigate the possibility of swapping the location of no stopping lines and parking spaces in Parking Bays 3 and 6.

3.2.1 It was found that there would be no reduction in the number of parking spaces available in either of these parking bays and that vehicles would still be able to move safely through the parking bays.

3.2.2 However, for the change to be made, updated traffic resolutions are required.

3.3 The recommended option in this report will revoke only the two resolutions relating to the parking bays relevant to this proposed change. This will not impact any other previously approved resolutions.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 At their meeting on 9 June 2025, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board approved the detailed traffic resolutions for the Marine Parade CRAF project.

4.1.1 The design approved referred to a plan attached to the report, which showed the parking spaces alongside the shared path.

4.1.2 At the meeting, a query was raised regarding the position of the no stopping lines and parking spaces in Parking Bays 3 and 6, with a request to switch these to separate the parking spaces from the shared path.

4.2 Following this meeting, staff investigated the impact on safety and parking of this proposed adjustment.

4.2.1 The investigation yielded the following information:

· There would be no impact on the number of parking spaces in either bay

· There would be no issues with vehicle tracking in either bay

· No significant new safety issues were noted in either bay

4.2.2 However, to change the design in this way would require an update to the resolutions in this area, to allow the parking restrictions to be enforceable.

4.3 If the change is approved ahead of the work being completed, the cost is negligible: there would be a minor cost for formal changes to the design for construction that can be issued to the contractor.

4.3.1 However, delays to the approval may cause this cost to increase

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

Date	Subject
13 Nov 2025	Pre-Construction Update Memo

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.5.1 Option 1 (Preferred Option): Switch the location of the no stopping lines and parking spaces.

4.5.2 Option 2: Do Nothing. Leave traffic resolutions as approved on 9 June 2025.

4.6 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.6.1 Include parking spaces on both sides of the parking bays. These two parking bays do not have sufficient room to include two sides of parking and allow for vehicles to move through the parking bay safely.

4.6.2 Adjust width and/or location of shared path to accommodate additional parking. This option was rejected as the shared path is already at the minimum recommended width of 3.0m. Relocating the shared path further east raises risks regarding resource consent as the nearby sand dunes are a site of ecological significance.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.7 Preferred Option: Option 1 - Switch the location of the no stopping lines and parking spaces in parking bays 3 and 6.

4.7.1 Option Description: Update the existing traffic resolutions in the area to switch the proposed location of the parking spaces and no stopping lines.

4.7.2 Option Advantages

· Removes risk of ‘dooring’ cyclists using the shared path.

· Reduces likelihood of antisocial behaviour such as setting up outdoor furniture or clotheslines in the shared path.

4.7.3 Option Disadvantages

· Introduces minor risk of crossing parking bays to access shared path.

4.8 Option 2 – Do nothing.

4.8.1 Option Description: Retain existing traffic resolutions. This will leave the proposed parking spaces alongside the shared path.

4.8.2 Option Advantages

· No adjustment to existing construction drawings is required.

· Maintains existing road layout.

4.8.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not reduce risk of ‘dooring’ users of shared path.

· Does not impact risk of antisocial behaviour.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.9 The staff recommendation is Option 1, switch the location of the no stopping lines and parking spaces. This is due to the health and safety improvements gained by separating parked vehicles from the shared path, removing the risk of ‘dooring’ cyclists or pedestrians.

4.10 While the recommended option requires shared path users to cross the parking bay in order to access the path, the risk this involves is seen to be lesser than that of ‘dooring’. The low-speed environment and low expected traffic volumes of the parking bays mean that the likelihood and impact of this risk eventuating are both low.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option	Option 2 - <enter text>
Cost to Implement	$300	$0
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	No Impact	No Impact
Funding Source	New Brighton CRAF	New Brighton CRAF
Funding Availability	$300,000	$300,000
Impact on Rates	No Impact	No Impact

5.1 There is a minimal cost of implementing the recommended option. This equates to 2 to 3 hours of staff time updating the plans and formally submitting them to the contractor.

5.2 The available funding is that remaining on the project after accounting for the known construction costs.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 The primary risk to weigh up with this decision is the potential ‘dooring’ of cyclists if the existing resolutions are maintained. The existing design includes a ‘buffer zone’ in the shared path to mitigate this risk.

6.2 The recommended option greatly reduces this risk by separating parked cars from shared path users.

6.3 The recommended option introduces a minor risk in requiring shared path users to cross the parking bay to reach the shared path. Given the assumed low traffic speeds through the parking bays, this risk is not significant.

6.4 Delays to the approval of the change may lead to increased cost, either through inefficient working, revisits and/or changing marking that have already been placed.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.5.1 Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 delegates Community Boards the authority to “prohibit or restrict the stopping, standing or parking of vehicles, or any class of vehicles, on any road”.

6.6 Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.7 The required decision:

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

6.7.2 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 number of residents impacted by this decision and the minimal impact on said residents.

6.7.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.9 Transport

6.9.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.3.3 Maintain customer satisfaction with the ease of use of Council on-street parking facilities - >=50%

· 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: 10.5.2 Improve the perception (resident satisfaction) that Christchurch is a cycling friendly city - >=67%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

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

6.10.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

6.11 The Community Board’s view has been supportive of this project previously. This amendment to the line marking has been requested by a member of the Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.12 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.

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

6.14 The project as a whole has been approved previously and had its impacts discussed with Ngāi Tūāhuriri. This specific decision is a minor amendment relating to line marking therefore does not specifically impact Mana Whenua.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.16 The decision in this report relates to minor road marking adjustments. It is not anticipated to have a significant impact on climate change adaptation or emissions reduction.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Following the decision in this report, construction drawings will be amended as required.

11. Connal Reserve / Ōpāwaho Heathcote River - Willow Removal
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/1468835
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Toby Chapman, Manager Urban Forest
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 a decision from the Community Board relating to the removal of five (5) willow trees in Connal Reserve, Woolston located along the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River.

1.2 The report has been generated based on feedback as part of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Urban Forest Planting Plan. The feedback asked for the removal of the Willow trees along the riverbank from Acadia Motel to the walkway access from Heathcote Street.

1.3 While the removal of the Willow trees is not required immediately for health and safety reasons it is acknowledged that the row is approaching the end of their safe useful life, and feedback received from the three adjacent properties is in favour of their removal.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Connal Reserve / Ōpāwaho Heathcote River - Willow Removal 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. The Community Board Approves the removals of five (5) willow trees in Connal Reserve. CCC Tree Asset IDs 126483, 143827, 169013, 109332, 109526.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 As part of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Urban Forest Planting Plan Five (5) willow trees in Connal Reserve were raised as concerns by a local resident and the local Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network group.

3.2 A Council Arborist has assessed the trees and although the trees have been assessed as being in fair condition and there are no immediate safety concerns, they do represent a maintenance burden due to heavy historic pruning and are therefore their removal is supported by staff. The replacement planting would be completed in conjunction with the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Urban Forest Planting Plan.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 As part of consultation of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Urban Forest Planting Plan there was feedback received requesting the removal of the willow trees on the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River between Arcadia Motels and the entrance into the river track from Heathcote Street.

4.2 Below is an aerial map and photos of two of the trees.

Figure 1: Showing location of the willow trees.


Figure 2:Tree ID 126483	Figure 3: Tree ID 143827

4.3 The trees were condition assessed by a Council Arborist on 18 July 2025.

4.4 The trees are in fair overall condition. There is nothing to suggest that tree failures are impending although it was noted that several had historic significant branch failures and there had been trees removed from this row previously for reasons unknown. There are sprouts regrowing from old stumps.

4.5 The row of Willow trees has had full crown reduction work undertaken in the past (approximately 5 to 10 years ago). As a result of the crown reduction work the branch tips are weaker which causes the inundation of twiggy branches falling onto the path year around. Crown reductions also impact the tree’s root system; overtime conditions change where wood decay fungi can colonise root systems which then act as conduits into the tree trunk.

4.6 There is native vegetation establishing in and around the row of willow trees (Harakeke, cabbage tree, coprosma, hebe, kowhai).

4.7 As part of the assessment the Council Arborist door knocked and spoke to the three properties directly adjacent to the trees. The feedback from the three properties was that they are all in favour of their removal and replacement with native species.

4.8 The reasons for residents favouring the trees removal were due to the leaf and twig litter, shading, safety concerns and that their removal will tidy up this section of Woolston Path.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.9.1 Tree removal and infill plant with native species.

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk that the removal of these trees will trigger requests for removal of other exotic trees along the river corridor.

6.2 The reason we staff are supporting the removal of these trees is due to the heavy pruning that has been undertaken historically and the increased maintenance costs that has resulted from this.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.5 The required decision:

6.5.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework. with a particular focus on a green, liveable city through the planting of a native forest and improvements in biodiversity.

6.5.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the level of impact these removals will have and the number of properties that will be affected.

6.5.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.7 Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.7.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.8.2.1 Increasing tree canopy in Parks - A net increase in total number of trees is achieved (1:2 replacement policy), with a minimum of 50% of the trees being medium to very large species

6.8 As these removals link with Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Urban Forest Planting Plan they meet section 4.7 of Councils Tree Policy “Approval by Council for the removal of trees to facilitate projects on council land will take into account the value of the project to the community, including public health and/or the local environment and considerations taken for retaining existing trees compared with the loss of the benefits provided by the trees.”

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

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

6.9.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood

6.10 As part of the condition assessment Councils Arborist door knocked three properties adjacent to the trees to understand any concerns the most affected residents may have.

6.11 The properties were Arcadia Motel, 11/1 and 11/2 Heathcote Street. All three residents from these properties were in favour of the tree’s removals.

6.12 The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network who have a group that work on both sides of the river in Laura Kent Reserve and Connal Reserve have supplied feedback. They would be very happy to see the willows removed and would like to see a range of suitable large growing native species planted to provide shade to the river and stability to the bank in the event of flooding.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.13 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.

6.14 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.

6.15 Although work is being undertaken along the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River the recommendations are to remove exotic species and replace with native species which will enhance the area.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.16 Contribute positively to emissions reductions in the long term. While removal of these trees will return their stored carbon to the atmosphere in the short term, replacement with permanent native species will sequester more carbon over time (in addition to the biodiversity benefits that such planting offers).

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If the removals are approved a contractor will be engaged to undertake the removals.

5. Requests that the Manager Property Consultancy do all things necessary and make any decisions at his sole discretion that are consistent with the intent of this report to implement the resolutions above including completing negotiations and administering the terms and conditions of the new lease.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The New Brighton Rugby Football Club lease is a long-standing park user who owns and has a ground lease for a small storage building used for sporting equipment associated with the use of the fields by club teams.

3.2 The Club has requested an additional shed of the same size to accommodate increased equipment requirements.

3.3 It is an increase but acceptable additional intrusion on the site and there are no issues associated with its use and construction of the shed with variation of the existing lease is supported by staff.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

The Property

4.1 Rawhiti Domain is located at 100 Shaw Avenue as shown in red below. It is held as recreation reserve pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977.

4.2 Rawhiti Domain is the home ground for the Club who own the property adjoining the Reserve and on which the club rooms are located. The Club have an existing storage shed on the Reserve and on the boundary to the property owned by the Club. The shed contains training equipment for training purposes such as pads, tackle suits and cones. It also contains gear for setting up fields for matches including goal post pads, sideline flags, chairs, foam toblerone sideline markers and scoreboard all of which are stored on a trailer which is wheeled onto the paddock for games and then doubles as a stand for filming which is a New Zealand Rugby Union requirement for all premier and colts games. The garage location on site is convenient for the Club whose site is fully built to the boundary with moving the gear from the clubrooms difficult.

4.3 A new lease was approved in 2024 for the existing storage shed. With the continued increase of practice padding and game equipment including filming requirements the pressure on the single garage has increased. The Club is also moving into woman’s rugby and has requested an additional shed as shown in pink below to enable separating training equipment from game day equipment. The proposed shed is to be made of precast concrete of a similar size and located 3m from the existing shed.

4.4 Staff have considered the impact of the additional shed on the use of the reserve and note that whilst it results in additional intrusion into open space when combined with the existing shed, there is minimal impact on the use of the sports ground itself and so is regarded as reasonable.

New Brighton Rugby Football Club

4.5 New Brighton Rugby Football Club (the Club) is a premier club in Christchurch, first started in 1894 and with continuous membership since 1921. It has won the senior club championship five times and remains a successful well-functioning club with over four hundred members. The Club runs around five open and eighteen junior teams with recent development of a woman’s team with a win in the premier grade 2025 and the addition of a second under eighteen team in 2026 as back up to the premier team.

4.6 The Club is a founding member of the Eastern Community Sport and Recreation Trust based on Rawhiti Domain, with objectives to benefit the community by assisting development of sport and providing resources for that purpose. The Club has converted a portion of its club rooms to make them available for member clubs and community groups.

4.7 The Club meets the Council’s requirements as a suitable lessee:

· Incorporated society

· Strong membership

· Historical use and investment on the site

· Financially sound

4.8 Key lease terms are:

· Variation to existing ground lease, 36sqm (approx)

· Current lease term 11 years from 1 January 2024 to 31 January 2034. Two rights of renewal

· Rent calculated in accordance with policy for ground lease to sports clubs and community groups. Rental under current rent rates $150.00 plus GST.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.9.1 Approve the new shed construction and lease variation.

4.9.2 Do not approve new shed construction and lease variation.

4.10 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.10.1 Do Nothing

Not a feasible option: The Club requires certainty to enable it to plan future use. To do nothing leaves the matter unresolved.

4.10.2 Approve an alternative smaller shed.

Not supported: A smaller shed would result in less intrusion into the site but will not be sufficient for the Club current or in particular future needs. The benefit of less intrusion is not justified.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.11 Preferred Option: Approve the new shed construction and lease variation.

4.11.1 Option Description: Construction of 36sqm shed for sports equipment storage. Variation to existing lease.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

· Consistent with policy of dealing with sports clubs with investment on site.

· Supports the Club development.

· Consistent with the public use of the reserve.

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

· Increases intrusion into the reserve.

4.12 Option 2: Do not approve an additional shed

4.12.1 Option Description: Do not approve construction of an additional shed.

4.12.2 Option Advantages

· No intrusion into open space and sports ground land.

4.12.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not support the Club development.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk of the lessee failing to pay rent or maintain the premises. The risk is assessed as low. Financial consequences would be minor and operational issues could be rectified. The likelihood of these consequences occurring is considered low based on the club’s previous track record.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Delegations Parks (Part D-sub Part 1- Community Boards) Authority delegated from Council to Community Boards.

“To grant leases of recreation reserves in accordance with this section”- section 54 Reserves Act 1977.

6.3.2 Reserves Act 1977, use consistent with recreation use classification, public notice pursuant to section 54.

6.3.3 Department of Conservation approval pursuant to delegation to CEO.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

6.4.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework, in particular the strategic priority of being an inclusive and equitable city that puts people at the centre. Local sports club enable wellbeing, accessibility and connection.

6.4.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by considering the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and the low cost to Council associated with entering into the lease.

6.4.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

· Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002.

· Rawhiti Domain Management Plan anticipates structures and leases for this purpose.

· Property Policy December 2015:

“Where there is just one logical lessee for a public property, the Council will deal unilaterally with that lessee. Potential lessees will include those for which facilities are linked to contracts including, but not limited to: ...Sports Clubs...”

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

6.6 Citizens and communities

6.6.1 Activity: Recreation, Sports, Community Arts and Events

· Level of Service: 7.0.3.1 Support citizen and partner organisations to develop, promote and deliver recreation and sport in Christchurch - 4,000 hours of staff support provided per annum.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Community engagement involved: direct contact with the neighbouring lessees on the reserve, delivery of flier to the neighbour on Marine Parade, public notice in the Christchurch Press on 17 November 2025. One request for further information was received with no further contact received.

6.8 Staff consider that the above is sufficient consideration of community views taking into account the significance of the decision proposed.

6.9 The decision affects the following ward/Community Board area:

6.9.1 Waitai Coastal Burwood- Linwood Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.10 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.

6.11 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.

6.12 The proposal was forwarded to Whitiora and the Office of the Treaty Relationships for comment on 17 November 2026 and no issues have been identified.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.15 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. The proposal to vary a lease for an existing use does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with leasing itself and there is no change to current emissions. In terms of the activities associated with the lease, the Club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low. There is impact on emissions through the use of new materials for the build. Given the scale of the build emissions effect is low.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Property staff to undertake final negotiation of lease terms and complete documentation. The Club to undertake construction of new storage shed.

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Coastal Spirit Football Club New Build Application, Linfield Park 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. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Club are allocated Linfield Park (legally named Cuthberts Green) through the Christchurch City Council (CCC) Sports Field Allocation.

3.2 The Club currently use the existing changing sheds for storage of training and game day equipment and have applied to install a relocatable storage container at the Park for storage purposes.

3.3 Staff support the placement of a container on site on the basis that:

· There is a need for equipment storage for the Club.

· The intrusion into the open space arising from the container is reasonable taking into account the Park as a whole.

· The container is to be clad in zincalume which is consistent with current staff practice to allow container storage if clad in a non-intrusive material.

· Approving the storage supports and encourages the Club development.

3.4 Approval is subject to the Club entering into a lease for the occupation of the site.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

The site

4.1

Linfield Park (the Park) is located at 56 Kearney’s Road as shown in orange below. It is held as a park pursuant to the Local Government Act 2002 and zoned Open Space Community Park in the Christchurch District Plan.

4.2 The Park is used for football in the winter and softball in the summer. It has been allocated to the Club as a home ground through the sports field allocation process. It is used for training and Saturday games by the Club Premier and Reserve teams, as well as several senior and youth squads. The current facilities are recently installed Council owned floodlights, Council owned portable changing facilities shown A-B below, and storage shed for Linwood Rugby Club shown C.

4.3

The Club requires storage for training equipment such as balls, field flags, goal nets and junior goals. Currently the changing rooms are used for this purpose creating health and safety issues and compromising the intended use as changing rooms. Refer photos below.

4.4 The Club is seeking a dedicated storage facility and has requested consent to instal a six metre re-locatable storage container for this purpose as shown D above. The container would be clad in light grey zincalume to match the current structures on site and would be owned and maintained by the Club.

4.5 Parks staff support the proposal as compatible with existing structures and so is non-intrusive visually. The proposed location would not limit use of the grounds for the primary purpose of sporting activities. A dedicated storage facility would mitigate the current crowding issues in the existing changing rooms and future proof the Club use of the park.

4.6 Hours for use: the container would be available all day, but primary use would be in the winter with afternoon training every day during the week from 4:00pm till 8:00pm. The Club also run summer programs that will involve use of the container with an annual major U19 tournament held on site.

4.7 The project is supported by Mainland Football.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 The placement of a container within the park may have impacts on neighbouring properties and other park users, including visual intrusion, perceived loss of open space, and concerns around noise, access, or changes to how the park is used. To mitigate these impacts, the container will be positioned away from residential boundaries and high-use areas, designed to be visually unobtrusive and blend in with the natural environment, and used in a manner that does not generate noise or restrict public access.

6.8.2 Two emails sent to 10 stakeholders over the consultation period: Linwood Avenue Community Corner Trust, Richmond Keas Softball Club, Tamai Sports, Linwood Rugby Club, Indoor Bowls Association, Canterbury Rugby, Softball Canterbury, Touch Canterbury, Mainland Football and Coastal Spirit Football Club (applicant).

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.9 Two stakeholders provided feedback.

6.10 Both submissions were in support, refer Attachment B.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.11 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.

6.12 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.

6.13 The proposal was forwarded for comment to Whitiora and the Office of Treaty Relationships on 7 January 2026 and no issues have been identified.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.14 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. The proposal to enter into a lease for an existing use does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with leasing itself and there is no change to current emissions. In terms of the activities associated with the lease, the Club encourages local community involvement and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low.

In terms of the proposed container: it is a repurposed shipping container, which supports sustainable building practices by reusing existing materials rather than constructing a new structure from raw resources. This significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing and transporting new materials. The container will also be maintained in a way that ensures longevity, reducing the need for replacement or further resource use in the future.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Subject to the approval of the Board, the next step will be for the Club to apply for building consent (or exemption), gain reserve access permission form the operations team and proceed with the installation of the storage container. Property staff to undertake final negotiation of lease terms and complete documentation.

b. On the southern side of Prestons Road, commencing at its intersection with the prolongation of the western kerb line of Te Korari Street and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of 207 metres as detailed on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Subdivisions have been consented for the new Mitre10 Mega on Prestons Road and is nearing construction.

3.2 Part of the requirements of the consent is for upgrades to the Prestons Road frontage.

3.3 The roading layout external to the subdivision, within the existing road corridor, requires approval by the Community Board exercising its delegated authority under the Local Government Act.

3.4 While there are no changes to the existing parking and stopping restrictions, resolutions for these are included within this area to ensure that there is no issues with parking restrictions being enforced.

3.5 The recommended option is to approve the proposed plans to ensure that they are enforceable and operate as intended by the design.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 This report seeks community board approval for the civil works within the legal road required for the Mitre10 Mega subdivision at 390 Prestons Road as indicated on Attachment A. This subdivision will not be vesting any new internal roads.

4.2 390 Prestons Road has been granted resource consent for commercial subdivision. The civil works for this subdivision within the existing legal road requiring community board approval will be completed in one single stage:

4.2.1 Stage 1 (Attachment A), including

· Left in/left out restrictions at the eastern vehicle entrance/shared ROW, enforced by a new median island.

· Right turns in/out permitted at the western vehicle entrance.

· Pedestrian refuge within the new median island.

· Changes to an existing pedestrian refuge island.

· Existing bus stop will be changed to a bus bay and the path redirected around it.

4.2.2 While this does entail some changes to the bus stop to convert it into a bus bay, it will stay in the same location and so changes to the parking restrictions on this section of Prestons Road are not required.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.3.1 Option One – approve proposed layout and traffic control devices.

4.3.2 Option Two – investigate changes to layouts and/or traffic control devices.

4.4 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.4.1 Option Three - Do not approve layout and traffic control devices.

4.4.2 This was ruled out as this would:

· result in any vehicle movement restrictions being unenforceable, and would permit unsafe driving behaviour.

· Prevent development from fulfilling consent conditions.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.5 Preferred Option: Option One – approve proposed layout and traffic control devices

4.5.1 Option Description: That all proposed layouts and markings are approved by the Board without change, so that any restrictions and violations can be enforced.

During consenting of the development, it was agreed that the eastern entrance would be left-in/left out only while the western entrance allows right turns in and out.

A new median island will serve to restrict these traffic movements, while also serving as a non-priority crossing point for pedestrians (particularly those using public transport) and as an opportunity for landscaping within the island.

There is an existing pedestrian refuge island to the western edge of the site. This conflicts with the vehicle tracking for a truck exiting the site and is therefore planned to be moved a short distance to the east.

The existing bus stop will stay in the same location however will be moved out of the carriageway into a new bus bay. The existing path will be redirected around the bus stop. The design has ensured that space is available within the road reserve so that a bus shelter can be installed in future by Council if required.

4.5.2 Option Advantages

· Allows the road network to operate as intended by the consented design.

· No additional resource is required.

4.5.3 Option Disadvantages

· May not meet the Community Board's wishes for the area.

4.6 Alternative Option: Option Two – investigate changes to layouts and/or traffic control devices.

4.6.1 Option Description: Staff will investigate changes to the layout and/or traffic devices, and provide this information in a further report to the Community Board.

For this option to be worthwhile, the Board would need to provide clear direction around the layout or device changes they are seeking, so that staff can provide advice around implications, including cost, safety, accessibility and timeframes.

4.6.2 Option Advantages

· May ensure that the Community Board's wishes for the area can be better served.

4.6.3 Option Disadvantages

· May not allow the road network to operate as intended by the consented design.

· Requires additional resources to evaluate alternative designs.

· There is no obvious funding source to carry out any changes to the installed design – this would likely come from the Subdivisions programme, which is currently fully allocated.

· Will delay development.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.7 The staff recommended option has been selected for the following reasons:

· The technical details of the constructed layout have been accepted through the RMA subdivisions process.

· No additional costs for the Council for investigation or removal/construction.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option – Option One – approve proposed layout and traffic control devices	Option 2 – investigate changes to layouts and traffic control devices
Cost to Implement	· $0 to implement · $750 for the preparation of this report	· Not possible to quantify without knowing the changes requested. · Likely to be a few thousand dollars for the investigation.
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	To be covered under the roading maintenance contract, the effect will be minimal on the overall asset.	As above, it is not possible to quantify without knowing the changes requested.
Funding Source	Not applicable	· 165 Transport Infrastructure for Subdivisions. · This would likely need topping up in future years through an Annual Plan/LTP to ensure Council meets its obligations concerning new subdivisions.

16. Buckleys Road/Russell Street Intersection Improvements
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2528133
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Gemma Dioni, Principal Advisor Transport
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve the layout changes at the Buckleys Road/Russell Street intersection as detailed in Attachment A to this report.

1.2 The report has been written in response to staff undertaking a full upgrade of the traffic signals at this intersection including underground cables, new signal poles and lanterns, as critical assets are at the end of their working life and in need of replacement. As part of these works there is an opportunity to improve the safety of right turning movements from Buckleys Road into Russell Street.

1.3 The recommended option is to therefore combine the following improvements while completing the traffic signal upgrade:

1.3.1 Improve the intersection for people crossing Buckleys Road (northeast arm) by changing the pedestrian crossings on Buckleys Road to allow people to cross in two stages.

1.3.2 Improve safety for people turning right from Buckleys Road into Russell Street, by introducing a right turn green arrow from Buckleys Road (southwest approach).

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Buckleys Road/Russell Street Intersection Improvements 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, pursuant to Section 331 and 334 of the Local Government Act 1974:

a. All kerb alignments, traffic islands and road marking changes on Buckleys Road and Russell Street as detailed in Attachment A of the agenda report.

b. Changes to traffic signal phasing to allow for the control of right turn movements from Buckleys Road (southwest approach).

4. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in Recommendation 3 above.

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

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 A full upgrade of the traffic signals is required at this site as critical assets are at the end of their working life. There is therefore an opportunity to include improvements as part of this project. As part of this project, there is an opportunity to improve safety for people walking and also drivers turning right into Russell Street from Buckleys Road.

3.2 Engagement has been undertaken with local residents and businesses, and with ECan. Following this consultation, staff are recommending the improvements proceed alongside the asset renewal project.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The intersection of Buckleys Road and Russell Street is controlled by traffic signals. The intersection is a busy location used by many people travelling to school or work, accessing Eastgate Mall and moving across the community. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely.

4.2 There have been 15 recorded crashes within the ten-year period from 2016-2025 at this intersection. There were five crashes resulting in minor injury and the remainder were recorded as non-injury crashes. Of the 15 crashes:

4.2.1 One minor injury crash involved a pedestrian in a mobility scooter crossing the road and being hit by a driver turning right from Russell Street into Buckleys Road. The driver had failed to see pedestrian crossing the road and has collided with his mobility scooter causing it to tip over.

4.2.2 Ten crashes involved crosses and turning:

· Eight crashes involved people turning right into Russell Street from Buckleys Road and crashing with people travelling towards the city. In two instances, the right turner had failed to give-way, and in the other six crashes, southbound drivers had either travelled through on a late orange or red signal and a right turner has sought to complete the turn.

· Two minor injury crashes involved moped riders being hit by a driver that had failed to stop at a red signal.

4.2.3 Two non-injury crashes were a result of drivers losing control. One driver was intoxicated, and the other was stressed and suffering from lack of sleep.

4.2.4 Two non-injury crashes were a result of rear end collisions. In one instance the driver was travelling two fast and was unable to stop.

4.3 There are existing pedestrian crossings on each leg of the Buckleys Road/Russell Street intersection, however the crossings on Buckleys Road are particularly long.

4.4 The changes to the signal phasing are to improve safety and operational capability as there is an ability to control this right turn from Buckleys Road into Russell Street more effectively. There will be a level of service change for southbound drivers on Buckleys Road, as they will need to wait while the right turn phase to be completed. After commissioning, the site will be monitored for six months by the Real Time Operations team, to ensure that the best traffic flow optimisation is found.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 The proposed option was sent to the property owners and businesses around the intersection. In total 16 letters were delivered by person, and two were sent via e-mail which was to Eastgate Mall and Environment Canterbury.

6.8 No responses were received from residents or the Mall. A concern was raised by Environment Canterbury around the tracking of a bus turning right from Russell Street due to the new island nosing. Buses turn right here if they are on a detour due to events such as the New Brighton Fireworks, in addition to the low frequency 155 route. Vehicle tracking was provided to Environment Canterbury, they have confirmed the changes made to the island following consultation will help.

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

6.9.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

17. Buckleys Road/Kerrs Road Intersection Improvements
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2528138
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Gemma Dioni, Principal Advisor Transportation
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board to approve the layout changes at the Buckleys Road/Kerrs Road intersection as detailed in Attachment A to this report.

1.3 The recommended option is to therefore combine the following improvements while completing the traffic signal upgrade:

1.3.1 Improve the intersection for drivers turning right from Kerrs Road by removing the merge lane and fully controlling the intersection by traffic signals.

1.3.2 Improve safety for people crossing the slip lane and for residents accessing their driveways by slowing traffic turning into Kerrs Road from Buckleys Road.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Buckleys Road/Kerrs Road Intersection Improvements 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, pursuant to Section 331 and 334 of the Local Government Act 1974, all kerb alignments, traffic islands and road marking changes on Buckleys Road and Kerrs Road as detailed in Attachment A of the agenda report.

4. Approves a shared path be installed on the north side of Buckleys Road extending northerly to Kerrs Road.

5. Revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the traffic controls described in Recommendation 3 above.

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

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 A full upgrade of the traffic signals is required at this site as critical assets are at the end of their working life. There is therefore an opportunity to include improvements as part of this project. As part of this project, there is an opportunity to improve safety for drivers turning right from Kerrs Road, in addition to improving pedestrian and resident safety by slowing traffic turning left from Buckleys Road into Kerrs Road.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The intersection of Buckleys Road and Kerrs Road is controlled by traffic signals, however with the current layout, traffic turning right on a green signal from Kerrs Road must merge with traffic travelling citybound on Buckleys Road who also have a green signal. Buckleys Road and Kerrs Road has a posted speed limit of 60km/h at this intersection.

4.2 The intersection is a busy location used by many people travelling to school or work, accessing Bromley Park and Eastgate Mall, and moving across the community. Whether people are travelling through this intersection on foot, by bicycle, by bus or driving, they should be able to do so safely.

4.3 There have been 20 recorded crashes within the ten-year period from 2016-2025 at this intersection. Two serious crashes were reported, in addition to three minor crashes and 15 non-injury crashes.

4.3.1 One serious crash was the result of a small child (3 years old) running from a residential driveway out onto the road and being hit by a car.

4.3.2 The other serious crash involved a vehicle travelling in excess of the speed limit on Buckleys Road and the driver has applied the brakes heavily when turning left into Kerrs Road. The driver drove over the grass, became airborne and collided with another vehicle, which was then rolled and landed on a nearby property. There were nine other crashes where a driver has lost control:

· All nine drivers lost control when turning left from Buckleys Road into Kerrs Road. Speed was recorded as an issue in all crashes.

· Private property damage was experienced in three instances.

· Damage to Council assets including signs, trees, signal pole, and signal controller were experienced in six other crashes.

4.3.3 Five rear end crashes were recorded, and these were reported all on different approaches. One crash occurred in free flow conditions when a driver was exiting the merge from Kerrs Road into the mainline traffic on Buckleys Road.

4.3.4 There were no trends in the remaining four crashes:

· One crash involved a vehicle overtaking on Kerrs Road.

· One crash involved a vehicle travelling through a late orange/red signal colliding with a vehicle exiting Kerrs Road.

· One crash involved a person cycling attempting a right hand turn from Buckleys Road (not a permitted movement) and has been hit by the corner of a vehicle.

· One crash involved a vehicle exiting Kerrs Road at a high speed, and has a hit a vehicle then stopped on the wire fence alongside the park.

4.4 There are existing pedestrian crossings on the northern leg of Buckleys Road, and the approach lanes on Kerrs Road. People crossing Kerrs Road must then cross a high speed left turn lane with drivers exiting Buckleys Road.

4.5 The changes to the signal phasing are to improve safety and operational capability as there is an ability to control the right turn from Kerrs Road and the southbound movement on Buckleys Road more effectively.

4.6 While the proposed signal changes mean Buckleys Road southbound traffic will be required to stop more frequently, this is not expected to result in any capacity or delay issues.

4.7 Traffic surveys and Real Time Operations data show that southbound through volumes on Buckleys Road during the morning peak are approximately 673 vehicles per hour. This level of demand is low and could be comfortably accommodated within a single traffic lane, noting that two lanes are currently provided.

4.8 The intersection is operating with a very short cycle length (approximately 30–31 seconds), meaning queues are cleared quickly and any stopping time is brief. During peak periods, green time for Buckleys Road southbound ranges from 15 to 17 seconds per cycle, which is more than sufficient to serve the observed demand.

4.9 Even with the introduction of pedestrian phases (typically 5–6 per peak period), the overall impact on vehicle progression is minimal due to the rapid signal turnover and low traffic volumes.

4.10 In practical terms, drivers on Buckleys Road southbound may experience a higher likelihood of stopping at the signals, but any additional delay is expected to be small. Given the low volumes and short cycle length, queues are unlikely to form or persist across cycles, and intersection capacity will remain well within acceptable limits.

4.11 On this basis, the proposed changes are not expected to create capacity constraints or significant delays on the Buckleys Road approach.

4.12 After commissioning, the site will be monitored for six months by the Real Time Operations team, to ensure that the best traffic flow optimisation is found.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.13.1 Proposed (Preferred) option

4.13.2 Option 2: Do minimum. Asset upgrades only.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.14 Preferred Option: Improve safety for people walking and driving.

4.14.1 Option Description: Fully control the intersection with traffic signals and remove the merge from Kerrs Road. To improve safety, it is proposed to:

· Add a surfacing treatment on the left turn slip lane to increase traction for vehicles should they start to loose control.

· Add a street name blade and vegetation to increase the conspicuity of the island and the left turn.

· Add a speed hump on the slip lane to slow drivers turning into Kerrs Road to improve safety for the residents accessing their properties.

· Add a short cycle bypass to improve safety for people riding on the road and turning left into Kerrs Road. A short section of shared path will facilitate the access to Kerrs Road.

4.14.2 Option Advantages

· Removes the merge lane on Buckleys Road, and all movements are now fully controlled by traffic signals.

· Improve safety for people turning left and crossing the slip lane by adding a small speed hump and additional treatments on the exit slip lane to slow vehicle speeds.

· Completing this work when the traffic signals are being renewed will save costs for the Council to undertake this work together.

4.14.3 Option Disadvantages

· Additional costs when completing the traffic signal renewals.

4.15 Option 2: Do Minimum

4.15.1 Option Description: Do minimum. Asset upgrade only.

4.15.2 Option Advantages

· No additional costs to the project.

4.15.3 Option Disadvantages

· Does not achieve any benefits for people walking and crossing the slip lane or for drivers turning right into Buckleys Road.

5.1 These are estimated costs and not tendered prices.

5.2 The traffic signals require renewal at this site, as the cables are at the end of their working life. As part of the traffic signal renewal, it is proposed to undertake further improvements.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk that people may continue to feel unsafe while crossing the road, or residents when exiting their driveways. There is also a risk of ongoing damage to private or Council assets if drivers continue to lose control when turning left from Buckleys Road. Completing this work alongside the traffic signal renewal project reduces cost and risk to Council and impact on the local community.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 The Community Board has delegation to approve concept plans for upgrading kerbs and applying filter turns at traffic signals.

Local Government Act 1974

6.2.2 Section 331 provides authority to approve concept plans for forming or upgrading footpath, kerbs and channels.

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

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

6.4.3 The recommended option is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies, in particular:

· LTP Activity Plan - Level of Service target to reduce the number of deaths or serious injuries (DSI) from all crashes by 40% in 2030.

· The changes made align with the safe and healthy streets for everyone goal in the draft Ōtautahi Christchurch Future Transport Strategy 2024-2054.

· Improving safety on local roads is a priority for the Council.

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

6.6 Transport

6.6.1 Activity: Transport

· 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: 10.0.6.1 Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network (DIA 1) - 4 less than previous financial year.

· Level of Service: 10.0.2 Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips - >=37% of trips undertaken by non-car modes.

· 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

6.7 The proposed option was sent to the property owners and businesses around the intersection. In total 12 letters were delivered by person, and one was sent via e-mail, which was to Lamb and Hayward.

6.8 Three responses were received from residents in the vicinity of the intersection. All three residents welcomed the improvements. They noted:

· Support the removal of the merge.

· Support for the speed hump to slow cars down, with the additional benefit of it making it safer for people at 161 Buckleys Road/1/3/5/7 Kerrs Road to safely enter/exit the driveway in vehicles. Many residents have been nearly rearended by speeding vehicles on this corner.

· Request for a short bike path to allow people on bicycles to miss the left turn at the corner. At present, the road turn is very narrow and is a dangerous choke point particularly when bikes enter ahead of cars. I've experienced cars trying to overtake my bike at that point because on entering the turn there appears to be room for both. There isn't.

· Request for reduced speed limits.

6.9 A concern was raised by Environment Canterbury around the use of a speed hump on the exit. The location has been amended to ensure that the approach by the bus is straight and wouldn’t make the turn unsteady for the buses.

6.10 Following a review of the submissions, it is proposed to:

6.10.1 Retain the traffic calming feature to slow vehicles entering Kerrs Road.

6.10.2 Allow a cycle bypass for people turning left from Buckleys Road into Kerrs Road.

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

6.11.1 Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

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

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.15 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to improve accessibility and safety for people crossing the road and turning right into Russell Street.

3.1.3 Girls Group Go-Karts

Linwood Avenue Community Corner Trusts’ Girls Group were granted $492 from the Waitai Community Board’s Koru Fund towards building go-karts. Making the go-karts will offer another positive activity for the kōtiro, particularly for those who may not have an adult at home with the time, skills and/or resources to support this type of activity.

The group plan to build the go-karts from upcycled materials where possible. They have a wāhine volunteer who is skilled at building, who will facilitate the session and has the tools required to create the go-karts.

For the last session of the year the girls tested out the Go-Karts, riding them down the Linwood waterway footpath to the greenspace along the way.

3.2 Community Governance Projects

3.2.1 Te Pā Whakaoranga

The Waitai Community Board granted Te Manawa Ora Trust $2,000 from its 2025-26 Strengthening Communities fund towards the development of their maara kai based a Pā Whakaoranga Community Hub. With this support the Trust were able to install a greenhouse on site to grow seedlings and establish a year-round supply of fresh produce.

The development of the maara kai has helped to enhance the programmes and services Te Pā Whakaoranga already offer which includes a community whānau drop-in centre, Out of the Mud rangatahi programme and carving workshops.

3.2.2 Green Lab - Rawhiti Domain Opening Event

The opening and celebration of The Green Lab’s Mobile Lab at its new home in Rāwhiti Domain took place on 30 November 2025.

Participants created their own artwork using natural dyes and plants. A pop-up exhibition showcased affordable, original woodcut prints by Bridget Allen, featuring wildlife from the local beach and upper estuaries. All proceeds from print sales were reinvested into The Green Lab’s community mahi, supporting creative projects that connect people with nature.

The event was free and open to all, with people bringing friends and whānau to enjoy art in the open air.

3.2.3 Cuthberts Green/Linfield Lights

New lights owned and maintained by Council, were installed on Cuthberts Green/Linfield. This is due to Coastal Spirit Football Club’s former training venue, Avon Park, being disestablished as a sports park and being subsumed as part of the Otakaro Avon River Corridor and City to Sea Pathway.

The site on Cuthberts Green/Linfield was identified by Mainland Football and Coastal Spirit Football Club as the best option for the installation of the lights to allow for training during the winter months. The lighting level (250lux) is designed for training, and the lights have a hard shut off at 9.30pm. The lights can be turned on and off remotely via a phone-based app. Users of the lights will be invoiced by Council on a monthly basis.

3.2.4 Linwood Park changing rooms

Council and Armitage Williams, the building contractors for the Linwood Park changing rooms project, hosted a small roof shout BBQ for the Linwood Keas Rugby League Club on Friday 21 November 2025 from 4pm to 5pm to show club members through the space and celebrate this milestone for the project. When completed other sports codes and community will also use the changing room space.

Armitage Williams also presented the Linwood Keas Rugy League Club with a donation ($2,500) and a signed Warriors jersey

3.2.5 Peter Donnelly’s (The Sand Man) Plaque Unveiling Ceremony

The plaque honouring Peter Donnelly, a local New Brighton sand artist, was unveiled on Saturday 6 December 2025. The plaque is located on the concrete wall near the macrocarpa tree adjacent to the New Brighton Library. The unveiling acknowledged Peter’s contribution to the local arts community and his connection to New Brighton.

3.2.6 New Brighton Seaside Christmas Parade 2025

The New Brighton Project delivered its annual Seaside Christmas Parade on Saturday 13 December 2025. The event, one of the biggest on the local festive calendar, brought the community together with a lively parade, seaside market stalls, live entertainment and a chance for families to meet Santa on New Brighton Beach, while supporting local businesses and community groups.

3.2.7 Common Ground Resource Consent Approved

Sustain South Brighton have been working hard to get its resource consent for its weekly Food Truck Friday over summer. The resource consent has been approved, and the Common Ground is now back up and running every Friday from 9 January 2026 until around April 2026. The Better Off Funding was able to help support the group to get this well-loved weekly community event back up and running.

3.2.8 Burwood Spring Fling

St Pauls Lutheran Church and the Wainoni Avonside Community Service Trust collaborated on running a community event for the Burwood Community. Focused on Bringing the local neighbourhood together. The event brought live music, BBQ, facepainting and a bouncy castle for locals to enjoy the spring weather. The event was well attended in what was a first for these groups running a community event. It formed a strong trial for the future, with many learnings taken on how to improve the event for any future iterations.

3.2.9 AFFIRM 24 Saturday 6^th December 2025

The 24th Aranui Family Festival event on Wainoni Park to celebrate the local hapori had a great turnout, with amazing stage acts and a great range of activities for the whole whānau to try out.

Aranui Library and Library Outreach Team hosted a range of activities for Tamariki. Their zone included the mobile bus. The other Council stall featured Gear Up Ōtautahi, the Resource Recovery recycling information, the Civil Defence and Emergency Management team with emergency preparedness packs. The conversations with people were really positive with many wanting to learn more about what to include in their grab bags.

The Parks and Engagement staff were there to talk with the community about the consultation for the draft plan for Wainoni Park including the three fitness stations. The feedback from the consultation will be coming to the Community Board with the proposed final plan in the next couple of months.

The Resource Recovery stall had over 50 engagements with attendees. The majority were from the Aranui community. The interactions were positive with Aranui residents. There was increased interest from residents since last year’s event, in alternative recycling schemes to divert waste from the red bin to free up capacity were promoted again. The team used iPads to run the participants through a bin sorting game which was extremely popular with children, and this showed that their bin sorting knowledge was above average.

3.2.10 Christmas in the Brom

The annual Community Christmas event held by the Bromley Community Centre was held on 14 December 2025 at Cypress Reserve. With a range of market stalls, bouncy castles and other activities it was well attended by the local community who came out in large numbers once again for these ever-popular events in the Bromley Community.

3.2.11 Dallington Christmas Bauble Hunt

The Dallington Community Trust ran their Christmas Bauble hunt in the Dallington Redzone on Saturday 12 December 2025.

3.2.12 Waitai End of Year Celebration Event

Local community groups and volunteers gathered at the North New Brighton Community centre for the inaugural Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board End of Year Network Function on 12 December 2025. This brought people together to recognise the incredible mahi being carried out across the area.

The evening was a great way to acknowledge the vital role that local groups and volunteers play in strengthening communities to look ahead.

The night also marked the first chance for attendees to meet the newly elected Community Board and share ideas about what matters most to them. Guests were able to write their wishes on Christmas tree decorations to help shape the Board’s upcoming Community Board Plan.

3.3 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.3.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan [for items not included in the above table but are included in Community Board Plan]

· Smith Street Gardens end of year celebrations

Despite the rain, Smith Street Community Farm celebrated the end of the year in style with a feast and special appearance from Santa. To mihi and thank the volunteers, who put in countless hours over the year, the staff and Board of Smith Street put on a big spread and acknowledged the efforts of the volunteers who help the farm continue to thrive and provide for the community.

· New service at The Loft

On the 15 January 2026, Ki Te Tihi - The Loft, launched their newest service on offer hosted at their community hub, upstairs in Eastgate Mall. The Māori Land Court Paneke (clinics) will be held quarterly throughout the year, providing easier access to information and advice on completing application forms, submitting an enquiry and searching the court record. They will also be able to provide updates on current application with the Māori Land Court and assist with updating information in Pātaka Whenua.

· New Zealander of the Year Awards

Climate Action Campus were honoured with a semi-finalist spot for the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year Awards. The ten semi-finalists were selected for the Community of the Year category, recognising groups that have united to create lasting change, enriching the social, economic, cultural and environmental prosperity of their communities.

Climate Action Campus were selected as semi-finalists for turning climate anxiety into action, a nomination that came as a complete surprise to the staff and volunteers who received the news late December.

· Launch of NuiRootz

Linwood Community Gardens, based at Te Whare Taonga o Ngā Iwi Katoa in Linwood, are partners in an exciting new community programme, led by Tangata Atumotu Trust. NuiRootz, launched in late November 2025, is designed to empower kāinga in Ōtautahi who experience barriers to accessing fresh, healthy food, focusing on building long-term food resilience and sustainable living, equipping Pasifika families with the tools to grow their own resources.

NuiRootz will support twenty families to co-design garden spaces and take part in workshops on planting, harvesting, and food preservation. As part of the programme households will receive functioning gardening materials, hands-on education in gardening and food preservation and gardening tools to create sustainable food sources at home.

· Te Hiato Kuaka Village Green Opening

Hundreds of people gathered in New Brighton’s Village Green to celebrate its completion. Te Hiato Kuaka New Brighton Village Green, just off Marine Parade near the New Brighton Pier, was officially opened with the cut of a ribbon by Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger on Sunday 21 December 2025. More than 200 people and at least 30 dogs congregated on the astroturf to witness the end of an era for the Christchurch Earthquake Appeal Trust’s community funding, and the next steps of Christchurch East’s revitalisation.

· Rawhiti Domain and Thomson Park Updates

The Christchurch City Council Ranger team made improvements at the Woodlands Playground at Rāwhiti Domain early in December. The old fort has been removed and replaced with a raised platform. The team are exploring the addition of a tiki-style hut to replace the fort, allowing children to feel a sense of shelter without creating visual obstructions. Pathways have been restructured, garden beds renewed, and sightlines opened to improve visibility and safety.

A key stakeholders hui was also held on Tuesday 9December 2025. Council staff were seeking early feedback on the tree planting plan which is due to go out for consultation in February/March 2026.

· Play Box at Aranui Library

The Play Box at Aranui Library launched on 21 August 2025. The trial period for the project was from August to November 2025. Feedback from Library staff and the community has been extremely positive with high use of the box items during the summer period. The project is going to continue from the library foyer space, and the project team will continue to engage with Tamariki and whānau to respond to request for equipment. A partnership has been developed with Gear Up Otautahi with additional donated items helped to top up the Play Box equipment/items.

The initiative seeks to address barriers to play - particularly access to equipment, while encouraging informal activation of Wainoni Park and strengthening the connection between the Library and the Park.

· Wainoni Park – community clean-up events

Rubbish was identified by Tamariki and rangatahi as a key issue in the Haeata Campus Neighbourhood Play System report from 2024 and is an ongoing issue at many of our local parks. The Parks Unit moved the existing belly bin close to the play space in July 2025 however fly tipping and rubbish is still and issue. Revive Church have teamed up with Council to address the issue, by hosting a monthly community working bee which began in October 2025. The dates have now been set for working bees between February to April 2026.

· Linwood Waterway group - Working Bee and mural project

The dates for the 2026 working bees on the Linwood Drain have been set and have now been advertised on signage on the pathway. Ihutai Trust have passed the project over to the Linwood Community Corner Trust.

The Linwood Waterway Group have teamed up with local artist Nick Lowry and Te Aratai College year 8 students to create a mural which celebrates the drain and surrounding area. Jackie Simons presented Awards to the Te Aratai students at their end of year assembly in December 2025.

3.3.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.

· QE2 Play Space

The project manager for the QE2 play space organised a feedback session with users of the Ascott Community Centre to discuss proposed landscaping changes around the community centre and croquet club. The aim is to improve the hub’s connection to the wider park, increase visibility, and enhance the overall tidiness of the area.

3.4 Governance Advice

3.4.1 At its meeting on 8 September 2025, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board received an item of correspondence from Jack Reece and Max Hagger which included a petition in relation to the Avon River Stormwater Management Plan. The Board received the correspondence and referred to staff for investigation and response.

Attached for the Board’s information is a letter from the Team Leader, Stormwater Asset Planning Team to Jack Reece and Max Hagger (refer Attachment B). Jack Reece and Max Hagger have received a copy of this letter.

3.4.2 At its meeting on 8 September 2025, the Waitai Coastal-Burwood-Linwood Community Board received a public forum presentation from Spokes Canterbury who provided an update in relation to the top cycling priorities in the Waitai Area. The Board referred the issues raised to staff for investigation and response back to the Board.

Staff have provided the following response to the issues raised:

1. Report on MCR – listed in LTP as Major Cycleway - Ōtākaro Avon Route

Currently the planning for MCR project for this wider area of between the inner city and New Brighton is being progressed through a business case preparation. The business case will be developed up to a point of readiness for when it can be submitted to NZTA for funding assistance. The projects route selection is not developed nor is it appropriate to release the unworked drafts around route considerations. It is envisaged that when it is ready the route selection (following Community Board input) will be released to the public – this will normally be at a stage when the construction fund years are nearing. Currently there is no NZTA funding assistance available and the Councils capital construction programme within the LTP is listed over years 2030 – 2032. Until the Community Board and Council are in a position to be able to undertake consultation knowing there is delivery funding current it would be counterproductive to release unworked drafts into the community. The Staff are progressing draft planning up to a level where when funding assistance becomes possible and/ or when Council construction funding is closer and it can then be progressed towards consultation.

Staff acknowledge the comments and suggestions and will take those into consideration as the planning on the project is progressed.

2. Prestons Road / Marshlands Road intersection.

This intersection and nearby driveways are performing well overall on its safety track record. There have been two minor incidents recorded involving cyclists within the last 10 years. The intersection is listed in the city’s national safety ranking as a low to medium risk. This ranking is for all traffic including cycling and walking. Most of the issues raised are similar to major intersections throughout the city that also have on road cycle provision without physical separation. The cycle provision provided meets the national cycle design guidance and includes coloured surfacing, highlighting the presence of the cycle lanes. The intersection and driveways nearby have cycle provision in place that is commensurate with the local cycleway network guidance. It is acknowledged that cyclists using these types of intersections across the city and particularly around peak traffic times, the congestion and vehicle manoeuvring with queuing without physical separation do not provide the highest level of service users nor cycle safety. In regards the raised issue of the traffic signals not picking up cyclists, the sensitivity of the cycle detection loops are being checked and will be tuned as needed.

3. Rookwood/Bowhill/Travis Roundabout.

The Eastern Outer orbital local cycleway project progress was presented to the members recently and from the meeting it is now planned to undertake a pre consultation with the community – this is planned within the first quarter of 2026. The project covers a length of route between Bridge Street and Rookwood Avenue – linking in several existing sections with cycle provision – primarily with painted on road cycle lanes in the gaps. This Roundabout is included in the projects coverage and is identified as a priority for improvements for cyclists. The project is listed within the capital programme for delivery in the calendar year 2027. The current draft plans for the Roundabout will address the Spokes concerns raised.

A copy of this response has been sent to Anne Scott and Stephen Wood on behalf of Spokes Canterbury.
