7. MOE Disposal of Phillipstown School Site
	Board Consideration The Board considered the deputations (Items 5.1 - 5.2) before deciding its recommendations. The Board accepted the Officer Recommendations regarding pursuing an acquisition, but recommended the purchase of the entire site as its preferred option, supported by a new noting provision. As an alternative, the Board recommended a partial purchase of approximately 3,800m² as shown in Attachment A (tabled). The Board considered the Council-owned house on adjacent MOE land to be a separate matter, and that funding for the larger site purchase, upgrades, maintenance, and operating costs should be included in the 2026/27 Annual Plan.
	Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board: 1. Receives the information in the MOE Disposal of Phillipstown School Site Report. 2. Notes that, for the purposes of the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy, the decision in this report has been assessed as low significance. 3. Notes: a. The Ministry of Education’s intention to dispose of approximately 0.92 hectares of the former Phillipstown School site under section 50 of the Public Works Act 1981. b. The findings of the Phillipstown Community Needs Assessment, which identifies the need for an ongoing, locally accessible community facility in Phillipstown. c. The Council’s intent to secure an interim ground lease for the Council-owned house on MOE land adjacent to the Transitional Unit School - Tētēkura as a temporary base to enable existing community activities continuance. Recommends that the Finance and Performance Committee: 4. Requests staff engage with the Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust (PCCCT) to establish a management agreement for the community facility, including use and activation of the Lancaster Park facility. If agreement cannot be reached for either or both facilities, an operator/manager may be sought through a request for proposal. 5. Resolves, subject to satisfactory commercial terms, to exercise Council’s rights under section 50 of the Public Works Act 1981 to acquire part of the former Phillipstown School site. 6. Endorses Partial Land Purchase Option 1 (approximately 1,140 m² frontage to Nursery Road, clause 4.68) as the preferred acquisition configuration, with Options 2 and 3 retained as backup options in that order. 7. Resolves that implementation is conditional on the land purchase, and relocation of the existing Council-owned house to there, being achieved within the current budget provision. 8. Delegates authority to the Property Consultancy Manager and the Head of Community Support and Partnerships to give effect to the above resolutions and to make decisions within the scope of, and consistent with, the outcomes and intent of this report and Council’s delegations.

Community Board Decided PCBCC/2026/00004

Part A

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board recommends that the Finance and Performance Committee:

1. Receives the information in the MOE Disposal of Phillipstown School Site Report.

2. Notes that, for the purposes of the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy, the decision in this report has been assessed as low significance.

3. Notes:

a. The Ministry of Education’s intention to dispose of approximately 0.92 hectares of the former Phillipstown School site under section 50 of the Public Works Act 1981.

b. The findings of the Phillipstown Community Needs Assessment, which identifies the need for an ongoing, locally accessible community facility in Phillipstown.

4. Requests staff engage with the Phillipstown Community Centre Charitable Trust (PCCCT) to establish a management agreement for the community facility, including use and activation of the Lancaster Park facility. If agreement cannot be reached for either or both facilities, an operator/manager may be sought through a request for proposal.

5. Resolves, subject to satisfactory commercial terms, to exercise Council’s rights under section 50 of the Public Works Act 1981 to acquire part of the former Phillipstown School site.

6. Endorses the purchase of a sufficient part of the site and buildings to enable scope and scale planning. To achieve this, resolves to either:

a. purchase the whole site (Board’s preferred option); or

b. purchase 3,800m² (as per Board Minutes Attachment A); and

c. include the additional funding required for a larger purchase, any additional upgrades, maintenance and operating costs of the site and buildings in the 2026/27 Annual Plan.

7. Notes the Community Board’s view is that the needs of Phillipstown extend beyond those of a localised facility. To respond appropriately to these broader community needs, the purchase should provide not only for a local facility, but also for a community garden and, where feasible, space to accommodate metropolitan or existing groups currently using the site.

8. Delegates authority to the Property Consultancy Manager and the Head of Community Support and Partnerships to give effect to the above resolutions and to make decisions within the scope of, and consistent with, the outcomes and intent of this report and Council’s delegations.

7. Little Poland Park - Landscape Plan Approval
Reference Te Tohutoro:	25/2625995
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Megan Carpenter, Team Leader Parks Recreation & Planning and Amy Rice, Engagement Advisor
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 for the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve the landscape plan for Little Poland Park.

1.2 The report responds to a request from the South Island Branch of Memorial Association of Polish Combatants in NZ (SPK) and Rotary Ōtautahi Passport (RŌC) to further develop Little Poland Park. This follows its naming and the planting of a memorial oak tree recognising the 80^th anniversary of the arrival of 733 Polish refugee children and their 102 guardians in New Zealand during World War II (WWII) in November 2024.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Little Poland Park - Landscape Plan Approval Report.

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

3. Approves the landscape plan for Little Poland Park (refer attachment A).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The report seeks approval from the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board for the updated landscape plan for Litte Poland Park. The plan was developed with South Island Branch of Memorial Association of Polish Combatants in NZ (SPK) and Rotary Ōtautahi Passport (RŌC) to further enhance the park following its naming and installation of a memorial oak in 2024.

3.2 Community engagement was held from 28 November to 15 December 2025 and received 44 submissions, with the majority supporting the proposal. Feedback resulted in several refinements, including removing the proposed asphalt path and consolidating planter boxes in two locations.

3.3 The preferred option is to approve the landscape plan, which delivers community requested improvements, supports ongoing partnerships with SPK and RŌC, and aligns with Council strategies. The project can be delivered within existing budgets, with RŌC contributing to planted box installation and maintenance under a Parks Deed Agreement.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 On 12 September 2024, staff presented a report to the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve ‘Little Poland Park’ as the reserve name for 2 Burkett Street, Marshland and classify the reserve as a Recreation Reserve under the Reserves Act 1977.

4.2 The Board also approved the location of a memorial Oak (Quercus rober) at the reserve with a plaque that references the 80^th Anniversary of 733 children and their 102 guardians arriving in New Zealand following World War II.

4.3 A celebration of the first anniversary of the opening of Little Poland Park was held on Sunday 30 November 2025.

4.4 SPK and RŌC approached the Council in May 2025 to request additional improvements to Little Poland Park including an additional picnic table, planter boxes to be installed and maintained by RŌC with colourful plants, an asphalt path around the park, a planting border along two sides of the park red and white flowers, five linden trees (Tilia Cordata), a drinking fountain, two peace poles, and a second memorial oak tree (Quercus rober) adjacent to the existing tree.

4.5 Engagement was held with the community from 28 November – 15 December 2025.

4.6 Following engagement, we met with SPK and RŌC to consider the feedback from the community and made changes to the landscape plan, which is being presented to the Community Board for consideration (refer attachment A)

4.7 A summary of the changes made following engagement includes the following

· Removal of the asphalt path around the park

· The planter boxes will be relocated and grouped in two areas: the north-eastern and south-western corners of the park. They will be installed on gravel or a similar surface to make maintenance easier. RŌC will be responsible for maintaining the planter boxes, with their ongoing relationship with the Council managed through a Parks Deed Agreement. If the landscape plan is approved, the group will be allowed to install the planter boxes in the north-eastern corner first, with the remaining four to be installed later.

· The picnic table has been relocated to beside the north-eastern planter boxes and eventually will be under the shade of a proposed Tilia cordata tree.

· We have included a proposed White Dove Rocker following the request for some additional play equipment for toddlers. The White Dove is a universal symbol of peace.

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

Date	Subject
12/09/2024	Proposed Reserve Name - 2 Burkett Street, Marshland
26/11/2025	Little Poland Park – Landscape Plan – Upcoming Engagement (refer attachment B)

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.9.1 Option 1 – Approve the landscape plan for Little Poland Park (preferred option).

4.9.2 Option 2 – Do not approve the landscape plan and request staff to consider an alternative landscape plan.

4.10 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.10.1 Do nothing (status quo). This was ruled out; due to the partnership we have at this reserve with SPK and RŌC.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.11 Preferred Option: Approve the landscape plan for Little Poland Park (refer attachment A).

4.11.1 Option Description: The landscape plan includes a gravel area with a picnic table, planter boxes, an adjacent path, a drinking fountain, a dove rocker, park trees, and additional perimeter garden beds. A second planter-box area may be installed by RŌC if the initial first four planter boxes are successfully maintained.

4.11.2 Option Advantages

· The landscape plan includes improvements that have been suggested by SPK and RŌC to further enhance a reserve that is significant to the local Polish Community.

· Engagement was carried out and changes have been made to this plan because of feedback received.

· Six additional park trees will be planted which supports Goal 1: Plant – Our urban forest canopy cover is growing sustainably in Our Urban Forest Plan 2023.

4.11.3 Option Disadvantages

· There is a cost to the Council to implement some of the reserve improvements, however this is covered in existing budget.

4.12 Do not approve the landscape plan for Little Poland Park and request staff to consider an alternative landscape plan.

4.12.1 Option Description: This would involve staff working with SPK and RŌC to develop an alternative landscape plan and reporting back to the Community Board.

4.12.2 Option Advantages

· Opportunity to add additional options for consideration.

4.12.3 Option Disadvantages

· Additional costs to make changes to the plan, however this is minimal.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.13 The options were both considered and the preferred option was selected due to working with an engaged Polish community and Rotary Club who want to recognise a significant event in New Zealand history in a local reserve in Christchurch.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option	Option 2 – Staff to consider alternative plan
Cost to Implement	$30,000 plus contribution from RŌC to install planter boxes	Dependent on proposed changes
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	Planter boxes to be maintained by RŌC and the rest by Council Parks Team within existing resources	n/a
Funding Source	61803 – Community Parks Development of New Assets	Included in staff OPEX funds
Funding Availability	Yes, in financial year 2027.	Yes, if within existing budgets
Impact on Rates	n/a	n/a

5.1 The Council will install the drinking fountain, asphalt path, gravel area, and picnic table with RŌC installing the planter boxes. The plant border around the edge of the park is unfunded and will be installed if/when funding is available in partnership with RŌC.

5.2 The Dove Rocker will be purchased with funding from 61803 and installed by the Council’s Urban Field Rangers.

5.3 The Urban Forest Team will plant the trees during the 2026 planting season.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 There is a risk that the group maintaining the planter boxes may lose interest over time. RŌC have advised that they can call on members from other Rotary clubs to help with working bees, and that their club membership is regularly refreshed as new members join.

6.2 To manage this risk, the Council will initially give permission for four planter boxes. We will then monitor how well they are maintained before approving the installation of the remaining four.

6.3 Is would be a small cost to remove the planter boxes if required, or we could look to find another group willing to maintain them if required.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

6.4 As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register, 25 March 2025, the Community Board has the delegation to;

6.4.1 Approve and adopt any new landscape development plans for parks and reserves provided the design is within the policy and budget set by the Council.

6.4.2 Approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration or addition to, any structure or area on parks and reserves provided the matter is within the policy and budget set by the Council. (Part D – Sub Part 1 – Community Boards – Pg 96).

6.5 Other Legal Implications:

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

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.6 The required decision:

6.6.1 Aligns with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework of Building trust and confidence in the Council through meaningful partnerships and communication, listening to and working with residents.

6.6.2 Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the decision impacting on a low number of residents and a small change to the reserve.

6.6.3 Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

· Our Urban Forest Plan for Ōtautahi Christchurch 2023

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

6.8.1 Activity: Parks and Foreshore

· Level of Service: 6.0.3 - Customer satisfaction with the presentation of Community Parks - >=60%

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 Consultation on the draft concept plan was held from 28 November – 15 December 2025.

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

· Two signs in Little Poland Park

· Consultation documents delivered to properties backing onto the park

· A post in the Oakbridge Community Facebook page

· A stall at the one-year anniversary celebrations for Little Poland Park, held on 30 November 2025.

6.11 The Kōrero mai | Let’s talk webpage had 371 views during the consultation period.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.12 Submissions were made by 44 individuals. All submissions are currently available on our Kōrero mai | Let’s talk webpage.

6.13

Overall, 59% of submitters supported the plan, 30% somewhat supported it, and 11% didn’t support it. Of those submitters that live in Oakbridge, 28% supported the plan, 52% somewhat supported it, and 20% didn’t support it.

6.14 Common themes in the feedback were:

· Trees – 16 submitters (36%) were supportive of the proposal for additional trees, with many noting the benefits of providing more shade in the park. Six submitters were not supportive of the proposed trees due to the impact they would have on the openness of the park and the sightlines to the playground. Four submitters suggested a different species of tree should be included.

· Loss of open space – 13 submitters (30%) shared concerns about the park’s grass area being reduced. Submitters commented that this area is commonly used for ball games, dog exercise, and community events.

· Planter boxes – 12 submitters (27%) were not supportive of the inclusion of planter boxes. In addition to the impact on the open space, submitters were concerned that maintenance of the planter boxes would cause issues in the future.

· Drinking fountain – 10 submitters (23%) were supportive of the proposal to include a water fountain.

· Picnic table – five submitters were supportive of another picnic table. However, six submitters shared concerns about the proposed location of the new picnic table, noting that it is far from the playground and close to neighbouring properties.

· Additional features – various requests were made, including for sports facilities such as soccer goal posts or a basketball court (7), toilets (5), a rubbish bin (4), and a play space for young children (4).

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

6.15.1 Innes Ward.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.16 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.

6.17 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.

6.18 During the park naming process we sent a request to Mana Whenua to check if there was interest in naming the reserve and they supported a name that was significant to the Polish Community. They requested that the park name does not reference Pahiatua (where the refugee children were hosted), as Pahiatua has its own significance.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.20 The proposal to approve the landscape plan for Little Poland Park does not have an impact on climate change. The development will involve the use of additional resources, but this is not regarded as significant and is reasonable in the circumstances as the proposal encourages local community involvement generally and in that sense the carbon associated with travel is low.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 The Council will look to install the drinking fountain, gravel area including picnic table, asphalt path, and Dove rocker within the 2026 calendar year, prior to the next Polish celebration in November 2026.

7.2 RŌC will install the planter boxes.

7.3 The Urban Forest team will plant the six proposed trees within the 2026 planting season (April – September 2026).

1.3 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions as shown on Attachment A of this report.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Tuam Street / Mathesons Road Intersection - Proposed No Stopping Restrictions Report.

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

3. Under Clause 6(2) of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 revokes any previous resolutions pertaining to traffic controls made pursuant to any bylaw to the extent that they are in conflict with the parking or stopping restrictions described in resolutions 4-6 below.

4. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Tuam Street, commencing at its intersection with Mathesons Road, and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of nine metres, as detailed on Attachment A (TG-MAT0001, dated 08/12/2025).

5. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Tuam Street, commencing at its intersection with Mathesons Road, and extending in an easterly direction for a distance of 46 metres, as detailed on Attachment A (TG-MAT0001, dated 08/12/2025).

6. 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 (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety concerns have been raised by a resident about parked vehicles restricting visibility and access at the intersection of Mathesons Road and Tuam Street.

3.2 This is a site specific issue on the eastern side along Tuam Street due to the bend.

3.3 The recommended option is to install no stopping restrictions as shown on Attachment A.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Tuam Street and Mathesons Road intersection is an uncontrolled T-intersection with priority given to Tuam Street.

4.2 Tuam Street and Mathesons Road are classified as a Collector and Local road respectively in the Councils Road Classification System.

4.3 The posted speed limit at the intersection is 50 km/h.

4.4 Tuam Street is on the Lincoln / Parkland metro bus route (Route 80).

4.5 There is a moderate parking demand near the intersection associated with adjacent commercial and residential properties.

4.6 Safety concerns have been raised by a resident about parked vehicles restricting visibility and access at the intersection of Mathesons Road and Tuam Street, particularly on the eastern side.

4.7 Mathesons Road narrows at the intersection to seven metres wide. There are no existing no stopping restrictions however there are nine metre long tapers on either side of the intersection. This is three metres longer than the regulatory six metres either side of an intersection where it is illegal to park.

4.8 Staff visited the site on three occasions and have observed vehicles parked within the taper and on the bend. These vehicles impede visibility of westbound traffic along Tuam Street for those turning out of the intersection.

4.9 The length of the proposed no stopping is based on length of the bend, and extends as far as the access to the Pumphouse where there are existing restrictions. It is also proposed to install a no stopping restriction to reinforce the edge line taper on the west side of the intersection.

4.10 The proposal will result in the removal of up to four on-street parking spaces.

4.11 There have been no crashes reported at the intersection within the last five years. The intersection is classified as low risk under Council’s risk mapping system.

4.12 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).

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve P30 Parking Restrictions outside Kidsfirst Rutland Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a request from Kidsfirst Rutland Street to change the existing P10 parking restriction outside their property to 30 minutes.

1.3 The recommended option is to install P30 Parking Restrictions as shown on Attachment A.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the 186 Rutland Street - Proposed P30 Parking Restrictions Report.

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

4. Approves that, pursuant to Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the parking of motor vehicles be restricted to a maximum period of thirty minutes on the eastern side of Rutland Street, commencing at a point 56 metres north of its intersection with Mays Road and extending in a north-westerly direction for a distance of 25 metres. This restriction is to apply between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, as detailed on Attachment A (TG153005, dated 26/11/2025).

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

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 There are currently three P10 time restricted space outside Kidsfirst, Rutland Street. Parents have stated that 10 minutes is not long enough for pick-up and drop-offs. The kindergarten have therefore asked that the time limit be increased to 30 minutes.

3.2 The recommended option is to change the existing P10 timed parking restriction to 30 minutes as shown on Attachment A. This will allow parents more time to pick-up and drop-off children from the kindergarten and therefore reduce the likelihood of unsafe or illegal parking behaviour at these times.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Kidsfirst, Rutland Street is located at 186 Rutland Street. There are three existing P10 time restricted spaces adjacent to the property. The restriction applies from Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm.

4.2 Parents have noted that 10 minutes is not enough time for them to drop-off and pick-up their children.

4.3 A customer service request has been raised by the Head Teacher of Kidsfirst, Rutland Street. They have asked that the time period be extended to 30 minutes.

4.4 We also received another request from a parent who noted that parking enforcement had been in the area recently, and they had received a ticket for overstaying the ten-minute restriction. To avoid a further fine, they were having to park further away or on the other side of the road which they felt was more difficult and unsafe with small children.

4.5 We have consulted neighbouring residents and property owners. No one has responded negatively to the proposal.

4.6 Staff are proposing that the existing three P10 time restricted parking spaces be changed to 30 minutes. The restriction will continue to apply from Monday to Friday between 8am and 5pm.

4.7 There have been no crashes in this location within the past 5-years. However, this proposal aims to reduce the risk of there being an incident outside the kindergarten.

4.8 Approval is required by the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.

4.9 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).

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek the approval of the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to install no stopping restrictions on Durham Street North at the Arvida St Albans Retirement Village exit. And also at the intersection of Durham Street North with Caledonian Road.

1.2 This report has been written in response to concerns raised by the Arvida St Albans Retirement Village community. Their concerns are related to vehicles parking close to the access restricting visibility. It was also highlighted that vehicles are parking too close to the Durham Street North intersection with Caledonian Road.

5. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the southern side of Durham Street North, commencing at a point 24 metres west of its intersection with Caledonian Road and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of ten metres, as detailed on Attachment A (Plan 1440001, Issue 2, dated 20/1/2026) to the report on the meeting agenda.

8. Approves that, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the western side of Caledonian Road, commencing at its intersection with Durham Street North and extending in a southerly direction for a distance of six metres, as detailed on Attachment A (Plan 1440001, Issue 2, dated 20/1/2026) to the report on the meeting agenda.

9. Approves that these resolutions take effect when parking signage and/or road markings that evidence the restrictions described in 4 to 8 are in place (or removed in the case of revocations).

3. Background/Context Te Horopaki

3.1 Durham Street North and Caledonian Road are both local roads with a posted speed limit of 40km/h.

3.2 Staff have visited the site on several occasions to view the traffic and parking situation. Parking demand is relatively high in the area due to residential and visitor parking.

3.3 Arvida St Albans Retirement Village is a large complex providing a range of accommodation and care services for the elderly. As a result, the site is anticipated to have a high proportion of elderly drivers and visitors who may be unfamiliar with the area using the exit onto Durham Street North.

3.4 Visibility can be limited for vehicles exiting the retirement village onto Durham Street North by vehicles parking close to the access.

3.5 Traffic counts were undertaken in 2022 on Durham Street North. Over a 7-day period these recorded the average speed as 36.4km/h, with an 85^th percentile speed of 43.4km/h. The average daily traffic volume was 909 veh/day. More recent traffic counts from 2024 on Caledonian Road recorded the average speed as 36.9km/h, with an 85^th percentile speed of 47.2km/h. The average daily traffic volume was 1644 veh/day.

3.6 The traffic count data shows that the speeds recorded are below the posted speed limit of 40km/h.

3.7 Staff consider the length of no stopping proposed to be appropriate considering parking demand in the area and the traffic speeds and volumes.

3.8 The proposal will remove approximately one parking space.

3.9 Observations have shown that vehicles are regularly parking within six metres of the Durham Street North intersection with Caledonian Road. We are therefore also proposing to install no stopping restrictions at this intersection, extending six metres on Caledonian Road and through where Durham Street North has been narrowed on the approach, to reinforce that this is an area where it is not permitted to park.

3.10 The NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) Crash Analysis System (CAS) database shows there have been no recorded crashes relating to visibility in the last six years on the section of Durham Street North or Caledonian Road covered in this report.

3.11 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).

Safety Initiatives - MacFarlane Park - Edgeware Village safety meeting	Further discussions are underway about the future planning for the MacFarlane Park area. This includes working with key stakeholders to ascertain their future requirements. In December 2025, a petition from the Edgeware Village business community was presented to the Board regarding the reported begging and anti-social behaviour in Edgeware Village. The Board invited local businesses and community organisations to a meeting on 23 February with representatives from NZ Police, the Council Safety Adviser, and the City Mission Outreach Workers. The meeting provided the opportunity to discuss the reported behaviours in the Village and to explore solutions to address these issues. As an outcome, Police are providing business owners with advice on crime prevention in the area, and an information campaign on not giving money to people begging is being explored.

3.8.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to the Community Board Plan

· Papanui House of Hoopz

On 29 January, staff supported the Papanui House of Hoopz event in partnership with Te Ora Hou and YCD. The event was hosted at Te Ora Hou, who created an awesome atmosphere for everyone involved. Nine teams of rangatahi competed on the day, with the winners progressing through to the finals in New Brighton on 15 March.

Alongside the games, everyone enjoyed music, free drinks, and American hot dogs, making it a great day for people to connect, hang out, and build new networks.

· Petrie Park

Volunteers held a further community clean-up at the Park on Sunday, 22^nd February, between 9am and 2 pm.

Residents, Parks staff and volunteers attended. A letter drop went out to the surrounding neighbours advertising the event the previous week. The Petrie team are planning another cleanup in winter.

· Saraswati Festival 2026

On the last weekend of January, there was a fantastic Saraswati Festival celebration at the Phillipstown Community Hub. With the weather fortunately holding up, the event was attended by approximately 300–350 guests.

The organisers note that the event would not have been possible without the ongoing council support and the dedicated local community workers at Phillipstown Hub, and offer their thanks for the support.

· Summer in the Styx

The annual Summer in the Styx event, facilitated by Styx Living Laboratory Trust, was held on 1 February 2026. It’s a free event for the community to come and learn more about the amazing conservation mahi happening in Ōtautahi/Christchurch, particularly in the Pūharakekenui/ Styx River Catchment.

· Riverlution New Gazebo on site

A new Gazebo has been placed in front of the Café at the Riverlution site.

It was sourced with funding from the Worldwide Fund for Native NZ.

Placement and construction were carried out by a builder and others who volunteered their time and skills.

Volunteers will work to landscape the area around the Gazebo; this will include extending the woven Hazel fence from the café to the structure to soften it presence.

The Gazebo will be used for workshops, craft classes, markets, and will also provide space and cover for the potting up of plants.

· Riverlution International Intern

Riverlution has welcomed Eileen their first International Intern. Eileen is from France and will be working for two months at Riverlution. As part of her studies Eileen is required in her third year, to work with overseas projects; her first semester experience has been in Colombia and now is placed at Riverlution for her second semester.

While here, Eileen’s focus will be on:

- evaluating the site’s current climate readiness and vulnerability to flooding, high winds, and other extreme weather events;

- assessing community and staff needs, including those using the café, garden spaces, and sustainability projects; and

- contributing to strategic planning for infrastructure upgrades, garden design, and community programs over the next decade.

Eileen will also support Riverlution’s role as a community resilience hub during climate events, disasters, or other disruptions. Her work will follow on from the wider Richmond Response Plan completed last year. This will include:

- conducing staff, volunteer, and visitor surveys to capture needs, expectations, and priorities;

- engagement with local community groups, schools, and partner organisations to understand usage patterns, accessibility, and climate adaptation ideas; and

- exploring the social cohesion and wellbeing outcomes facilitated by the site’s activities (gardening, café, events, workshops) and identifying opportunities for education, training, and volunteer programs to enhance resilience and sustainability knowledge.

· St James Ave Site Visit

On 23 February, the Board and staff visited St James Ave with the Council Arborist and Head of Transport to view the street trees and gain an understanding from the Arborist of how street trees are monitored and maintained.

The visit provided helpful insight into the challenges of dealing with mature trees in existing street environments, the effect of that context on the longevity of the trees, heritage considerations, the difficulty replacing trees in advancement of the Urban Forest Plan on such older streets without full street renewal, and the financial challenges that would need to be addressed through the Council’s Annual Plan.

· Children’s Day 2026

Children’s Day 2026 was held on Sunday, 1 March with the support of the Waipapa community governance team for this metropolitan event at Cuthberts Green.
