3.2 The Club has requested approval for the location of two storage containers to house athletic sports equipment and construction of a long jump pit with all-weather run up track, high jump area and three throwing circles.

3.3 Staff support the proposals on the basis:

· The designs provided have the containers in vertical wood cladding which is consistent with current staff practice to allow container storage if clad in non-obtrusive material.

· The track and containers do not limit other users of the Reserve.

· The Club is the fastest growing junior athletics club in Christchurch and the proposals support and encourage club development.

3.4 The structures require a lease to formalise rights and responsibilities.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

The Property

4.1 Te Kāhu Park is located at 3R The Runway Wigram as shown outlined in red below. It is held as recreation reserve pursuant to the Reserves Act 1977.

4.2 The Park was created as a community park around twelve years ago during the ‘Wigram Skies’ subdivision. At 4.6 hectares it is a large open park that lends itself towards team sports. In the winter it is allocated by Mainland Football to the Halswell United Football Club who run two full sized fields at each end with ‘junior kicks run in the middle. The fields are used as an overflow park for competition games from different clubs.

4.3 In the summer the park has been allocated to Canterbury Athletics who in turn has allocated it to the Awatea Athletics Club who mark out a summer running track in the middle with a sand long jump pit at the east end marked ‘A’ above.

4.4 A playground is in the south east corner shown ‘B’ with a Council owned toilet and changing block on the south boundary marked ‘C’ above.

Awatea Athletic Club

4.5 The Club was formed in 2024 predominantly as an athletics training club for juniors drawing 170 in the first year. Numbers have doubled in 2025 to over 350 with a growing senior section. The Club is the fastest growing junior club in the city.

4.6 Current use is a club night on Monday. Proposed use is:

Monday- Club night- 300 juniors approx.

Tuesday/Thursday over 13 and seniors programme

Wednesday Academy coaching 10-12 year olds

Winter training at various times that will not conflict with winter sport.

4.7 Training involves track work including hurdles and field events: high jump, long jump, discus and shot put. The Club currently has a number of high jump mats and hurdles along with other equipment which is currently stored either in a limited capacity in the Council changing block on site or off site and so is unusable.

4.8 The Club has requested to construct all weather run up tracks for two jumping pits marked ‘A’, locate two equipment storage containers at the east end of the park, marked ‘B’, a surface for high jumping marked ‘C’, three throwing circles with portable cages marked D and a junior long jump pit marked ‘E’. The tracks as shown would be marked on the grass and only last for the summer season. It is proposed to clad the containers in vertical wood as shown below.

4.9

4.10 A staged development is proposed with containers and throwing circles planned immediately and completion of senior jumping pits and high jump area 2026-27 or within three years.

4.11 The improved facilities will support all club members and improve the public facility as a whole with casual use available to the public. The proposed developments fit comfortably within the park and do not limit its use for other disciplines. The container cladding is consistent with current practice to allow container storage if clad in alternative and approved materials.

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

· Incorporated society

· Strong membership

· Current use of the site

· Financially sound

4.13 Key lease terms are:

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

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.14.1 Approve the storage location and all-weather track construction together with new lease

4.14.2 Do not approve the storage location and all-weather track construction together with new lease

4.15 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.15.1 Consider alternative site: Recreation staff advise that a range of alternative sites were considered but none provided the size required to provide a track and field facilities. The club membership is drawn largely from the local area, so the proposed site is preferable.

4.15.2 Consider less storage and/or field facilities: This option would provide less intrusion into the Reserve but would limit development of the Club. Parks planners advise that the proposal is in proportion and scale with the Reserve as a whole and does not limit use by other sporting codes.

4.15.3 Do nothing: not feasible as it leaves the matter unresolved and limits development of a new club

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.16 Preferred Option: Approve the storage location and all-weather track construction together with new lease

4.16.1 Option Description: Involves the location of two storage containers at the East end of the Reserve, with wood cladding and adjoining all weather surface for purpose of long jump pit and high jump area. Throwing circles to be established on north boundary together with junior long jump pit on south boundary.

4.16.2 Option Advantages

· Provides a secure designated area for gear storage

· Provides a quality home base training facility for field events

· Supports the Club development

· Provides all weather surface for public use when not being used by the Club

· Consistent with the purpose of the Reserve

4.16.3 Option Disadvantages

· Intrudes into open space

· May create pressure on carparking at peak times

4.17 Option 2: Do not approve the storage location and all-weather track construction together with new lease

4.17.1 Option Description: Decline request for storage and all-weather track

4.17.2 Option Advantages

· Retains open space

4.17.3 Option Disadvantages

· Leaves the Club without a secure designated area for gear storage

· Limits the club connection to home base for training

· Doesn’t support the Club development

· Lost opportunity for public use of all weather surface when not being used by the Club

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.18 The options in terms of the lease were assessed taking into account the Club development and needs and the need for certainty for ongoing operation as against alternative use for the Reserve.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Given the Club is relatively new there is a risk of the lessee failing and consequential failure 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 all-weather tracks would likely revert to Council ownership for general public use. The likelihood of these consequences occurring is considered low based on the level of support and quality of club organisation to date.

6.13 Submitters who supported the proposal felt:

6.13.1 The applicant has a good reputation (35)

6.13.2 The proposal would improve the clubs ability to deliver and the experience for young athletes (24)

6.13.3 The proposal would benefit the community (21).

Issue Raised	Staff Comment
The container does not fit with the aesthetic of the park (3)	The club has engaged an architect to design the container to minimise visual impact within the park setting. The design includes external cladding in vertical timber palings to better integrate with the surrounding environment. Additional landscaping and future planting around the container could be considered to further soften its appearance over time.
Traffic Concerns including limited parking and congestion at peak times (6)	Many club members live locally. Staff advise that the Club actively encourages members to use active transport modes, including walking and cycling. There is existing off-street parking available within the surrounding area, including additional parking located at Wigram School across the road. Staff understand this parking is available for community use outside of school hours.
More investigation is needed into long-term storage solutions (2)	The cost of constructing a permanent storage facility is significant and is not financially viable for a local community club to fund. At present, there is no identified funding available for Council to deliver a permanent asset at this location. The proposed container solution is considered a practical and cost-effective option that meets the club’s current operational needs.
Submitter Suggestions	Staff Comment
Review whether existing facilities will support increased usage of the park (toilets and water fountain) and consider increasing the scope of project to include a half basketball court.	The inclusion of additional park facilities is outside the scope of the current lease application. An existing public toilet and water fountain are already located within the park and are considered sufficient to support current and anticipated park usage.
Add suitable hooped bike parking	Hooped bicycle parking is already provided within the park, located in front of the toilet block, and remains available for park users.
Allow the Club to use Wigram School parking area when school is not using it to address parking concerns.	Refer issues above: Staff understand that parking at Wigram School is available for community use outside of school hours and provides additional capacity during peak activity times.

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

6.14.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby- Riccarton Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.15 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.

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

6.17 The proposal was forwarded for comment to Whitiora and the Office of Treaty Relationships on 17 November 2025 and they have not identified any issues.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.18 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 new 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 and athletics facilities.

9. Tree Removals - 22 Milns Road (new school site)
Reference Te Tohutoro:	26/253988
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Jo Anderson, Team Leader Case Management and Relationships
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	John Higgins, General Manager Strategy, Planning & Regulatory Services

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the removal of 83 black poplar trees located on the roadside of 22 Milns Road to facilitate the creation of a new primary school for the Halswell area.

1.2 The report is in response to a request from the Ministry of Education to start its project with the removal of the trees to make access to the site easier and safer for construction purposes. The removal is also required to make way for a new road layout and footpath. A further report will be submitted to the Board later asking for approval of the new road layout.

1.3 Under section 4.7 of the Councils Tree Policy, the Board may consider the removal of Council trees to facilitate projects on council land, that 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.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Tree Removals - 22 Milns Road (new school site) Report.

2. Approves the removal of 83 black poplar trees at 22 Milns Road, to facilitate the building of a new primary school in the Halswell area and for the pathway to a new road layout to support the school.

3. Notes that the decision in this report is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4. Notes that there will be a further report seeking reconfiguration of the road layout and footpaths at a future Board meeting, that will complement this tree removal report.

5. Notes that there are a number of trees proposed for planting within the bounds of the primary school which will meet the requirements of the Tree Policy of 1:2 replacement planting for any trees removed.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 For the school to be built there are designation requirements that need to be fulfilled. Milns Road will need to be upgraded for the length of the adjacent frontage of the site to accommodate the increase in vehicle and pedestrian movements. Several further factors such as, parking, speed, footpaths, kerb and channel, pedestrian signals and pedestrian crossing will need to be considered.

3.2 The trees are in direct alignment with the reworking of the frontage of the proposed school and hence will require removal to proceed with the new road layout for the school.

3.3 These trees form a single, intertwined canopy/shelterbelt and should be treated as a single entity.

3.4 As part of a new landscaping plan, replacement trees will be incorporated into the road-widening design, and any proposed planting will allow for sufficient clearance from infrastructure and overhead services.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The trees were planted circa 1980-1984, thus being around 50 years old.

4.2 In 2020 a resource consent was retrospectively issued for some earthworks completed to provide an accessway. Several poplar trees were removed at this time to make way for this accessway.

4.3 The trees are Christchurch City Council (CCC) street trees protected under the Christchurch District Plan (CDP) as they are greater than 6m in height located within the CCC road corridor.

4.4 The site has been designated for a new primary school to service the growing community of Halswell. Part of the designation is a requirement that the road is upgraded for the length of the adjacent frontage of the site.

Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2332088
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Edwin Tiong, Traffic Engineer
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 seek the approval of the Waipuna Halswell Hornby Riccarton Community Board to install no stopping restrictions in Tiora Place.

1.2 This report has been written following concerns that have been raised by a resident about the function of the street due to its very narrow width.

1.3 The recommended option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Tiora Place - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.

2. Notes that the decision in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.

4. Approves pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 that:

a. the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, on the south-eastern side of Tiora Place commencing at its intersection with Auburn Avenue, and extending in a south-westerly direction for a distance of 39.5 metres as shown on Plan TG151652, dated 22/12/2025 as shown on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

b. the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, on the south-eastern side of Tiora Place commencing at a point 44.5 metres from the intersection with Auburn Avenue, extending first in a south-westerly direction, then following the kerb in a clockwise direction, around the cul-de-sac head, then extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of 46 metres as shown on Plan TG151652, dated 22/12/2025 as shown on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

c. the stopping of all vehicles be prohibited at any time, on the south-eastern side of Tiora Place commencing at a point 95.5 metres from the intersection with Auburn Avenue, extending first in a south-westerly direction, then following the kerb in a clockwise direction, around the cul-de-sac head, then extending in a north-easterly direction for a distance of four metres as shown on Plan TG151652, dated 22/12/2025 as shown on Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda.

5. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 3 and 4 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 There are ongoing issues with property access at Tiora Place due to motorists parking over or directly opposite driveways.

3.2 Tiora Place is a narrow, two-way, no exit residential street. We have received two safety related service requests from residents stating that through access along Tiora Place is being regularly compromised when there are vehicles parked on both sides of the road. The current unrestricted parking arrangement is also affecting access to a number of private driveways.

3.3 Implementing the No Stopping restriction recommendation will improve accessibility by allowing unimpeded emergency access and driveway access for residents. Truck movements have been checked to ensure accessibility.

3.4 The preferred option is to install No Stopping restrictions in accordance with Attachment A.

3.5 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 Tiora Place is approximately 5.7 metres wide with deep dish channel on both sides of the road. There is an existing no stopping restrictions for approximately 20 metres on the south-eastern side of Tiora Place.

4.2 A resident of Tiora Place has raised concerns with Council about access on the street. When vehicles are parked on both sides of Tiora Place, they can restrict access. This depends on how vehicles are positioned in relation to each other. At times, delivery and waste collection vehicles cannot access the street, and emergency vehicles may also be unable to reach the end of the street during an emergency.

4.3 The Christchurch Suburban Parking Policy (2019) Policy 10 provides guidance for reviewing the allocation of parking in circumstances where the street is less than seven metres wide and there are known access issues “If the carriageway of a street is less than 7 metres in width and there are known access problems (i.e. there are limited places for vehicles to pass and/or emergency access may be compromised), Council will propose to remove parking on one side of the street.”

4.4 Staff have observed that generally there are moderate demands for on-street parking, and the occurrence of inconsiderate parking is considered to be sporadic.

4.5 Considering this guidance, we propose to extend the No Stopping prohibition along Tiora Place. Four parking spaces within the cul-de-sac will be retained, including two parking spaces on the west side of Tiora Place fronting No.41 Auburn Avenue property.

4.6 The proposal removes approximately one parking space from the cul-de-sac. However, most vehicles cannot legally park here anyway as the effective width between the driveways is insufficient to accommodate a standard-length vehicle.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The proposed plans for new bus stops incorporate standard line marking, signage, and tactile pavers.

3.2 Route 60 has been operating on a detour via Monsaraz Boulevard and Manarola Road since late 2024. This change resulted from the permanent alteration of the Halswell–Hendersons intersection under the NZTA SH75 Halswell Road improvement project. Since then, temporary bus stops have been installed under the project’s temporary traffic management (TTM) arrangements.

3.3 CRC has confirmed that the detour will remain in place until the subdivision development is completed and Monsaraz Boulevard is connected to Hendersons Road. At that stage, CRC will consider realigning Route 60 to continue along Monsaraz Boulevard to Hendersons Road, rather than turning onto Manarola Road.

3.4 The proposed upgrades have been prioritised and as mentioned the TTM is scheduled to be removed by April 2026.

3.5 Based on changes to bus route 60, staff are proposing the installation of three new bus stops and the removal of two redundant bus stops, as listed in Table 1.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 The Halswell Road/Hendersons Road intersection was permanently altered in late 2024 as part of the NZTA-SH75 Halswell Road improvement project.

4.2 Accordingly, bus route 60, which used to travel between Halswell Road and Hendersons Road, has been detoured via Monsaraz Boulevard and Manarola Road, as shown in Attachment A.

4.3 In response to the detour, three temporary bus stops have been introduced on Monsaraz Boulevard and Hendersons Road under the temporary traffic management (TTM) arrangements for the NZTA SH75 Halswell Road improvement project. This TTM is scheduled to be removed by April 2026.

4.4 In addition, four existing bus stops on Hendersons Road are no longer required, as shown in Attachment A. The redundant bus stops outside 222 and 280 Hendersons are within Spreydon Ward area.

4.5 CRC has indicated that once subdivision development is completed and Monsaraz Boulevard is connected to Hendersons Road, it will consider realigning Route 60 to continue along Monsaraz Boulevard to Hendersons Road rather than turning onto Manarola Road.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Should the Community Board proceed with Option 2s, the do-nothing options:

· None of the identified advantages associated with the preferred options would be realised.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 The relevant Community Board or Committee have delegated authority from the Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolutions of:

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decisions:

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

6.4.2 Are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the number of people impacted by each individual plan, the low risk and cost associated with the decision.

6.4.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

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

6.6 Transport

6.6.1 Activity: Transport

· Level of Service: 10.4.4 Improve customer satisfaction with public transport facilities (quality of bus stops and bus priority measures) - >=73%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 Consultation has been carried out with affected property owners and tenants.

6.8 The consultation period ran from 27 January to 10 February 2026. Letters were delivered to the property owners and tenants affected.

6.9 Environment Canterbury support the proposed upgrades.

6.10 Staff did not receive any submissions for the proposed new bus stops outside 10 Seelster Lane on Monsaraz Boulevard and 1E Manarola Road.

6.11 Staff received one submission for the proposed new bus stop outside Evora Park on Manarola Road raising concerns about:

· Current movement of buses and existing temporary bus stops (suggesting installing bus stop on Monsaraz Boulevard instead)

· Bus speed and vibration

· Cars overtaking the stopped bus

6.12 Staff advised that the existing temporary bus stops will be removed in April 2026 and that a new bus stop will be installed on Monsaraz Boulevard too.

6.13 Concerns related to bus speeds and vibration passed onto CRC.

6.14 Staff advised that the proposed stop is an indented (pull-in) bus stop. This means buses will not block the traffic lane when stopping, which will minimise overtaking risks and traffic disruption.

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

6.15.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.

6.15.2 Halswell Ward.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.16 The decisions do not involve a significant decision in relation to ancestral land, a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore these decisions do not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.17 The decisions don’t 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

6.18 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. However, installation of new bus stops will enhance public transport accessibility and user satisfaction and encourage more people to use public transport.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 Once recommendation approved, staff will engage with contractors to proceed with construction.
