1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is for the Waihoro-Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board to approve changes to the P5 Loading Zone outside 94 Mowbray Street.

1.2       This report has been written in response to requests from the adjacent business for this Loading Zone to be removed from the current location and unrestricted parking reinstated. 

1.3       The recommended option is to relocate the Loading Zone to outside the neighbouring property (100 Mowbray Street), in accordance with Attachment A.

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the Mowbray Street - P5 Loading Zone Report.

5.         Approves, in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that a Loading Zone be installed on the southwest side of Mowbray Street, commencing at a point 96 metres west of its intersection with Wilsons Road, and extending in a westerly direction for a distance of nine metres.

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       A Loading Zone was originally approved outside 94 Mowbray Street in 2005 to provide short term parking for a food outlet that was operating at that time.

3.2       To better service existing businesses in the area, it is proposed to relocate the Loading Zone to 100 Mowbray Street and extend the length to 9 metres to accommodate standard delivery trucks.

3.3       The recommended option is shown in Attachment A.

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       Mowbray Steet provides access to industrial / commercial activity. A high parking demand is observed during weekdays which is associated with the surrounding business activity. On-street parking is unrestricted except for a P5 Loading Zone outside 94 Mowbray Street.

4.2       The six-metre-long Loading Zone was approved in 2005 to provide short term parking for a food outlet. The food outlet has not been operating at this site for many years. Over time the Loading Zone signs were removed but the markings remained. During this period, the space no longer functioned as a Loading Zone but it was never formally revoked.

4.3       Staff received a request to reinstate the signs to provide a usable Loading Zone for nearby businesses. In response to this, the signage was reinstated by Council’s Maintenance Team in August 2025.

4.4       In response to a separate request to consider changes to the Loading Zone and acknowledging the time since it was last in operation, staff agreed to consult with the affected businesses to work toward a suitable solution.

4.5       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).

 

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.6.1   Relocate the Loading Zone further west (outside the neighbouring property - 100 Mowbray Street)

4.7.1   Option Advantages

·     Retains a short-term loading space to service properties in the immediate vicinity.

4.7.2   Option Disadvantages

·     Cost to implement, although this is minimal (line marking and sign relocation).

4.8       Option 2:  Do Nothing, retain the Loading Zone outside 94 Mowbray Street.

4.8.1   Option Advantages

·     Provides a short-term loading and unloading option for nearby businesses.

4.8.2   Option Disadvantages

·     The Loading Zone is only six metres long which is not sufficient to accommodate larger vehicles, including many delivery trucks.

6.10    The business operating from 100 Mowbray Street receives and redistributes food to community organisations across Canterbury. The Loading Zone allows community groups to load food into their vans safely and efficiently as well as accommodate larger deliveries that are received on a weekly basis. They consider the Loading Zone to be critical for their operations and note it is also utilised by other businesses in the area.

6.11    They were opposed to the removal of the Loading Zone and support either retaining it in its current location or relocating it in accordance with Attachment A.

6.12    The business adjacent to the existing Loading Zone are supportive of the recommended option to relocate the Loading Zone to outside 100 Mowbray Street but opposed to it being retained in its current position. Reasons for opposing it being retained include the loss of unrestricted parking outside the property which was previously utilised prior to the recent reinstatement.

6.13    The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

6.14.1 Heathcote Ward

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.15    The decision does not involve a significant decision concerning ancestral land or a body of water or other elements of intrinsic value, therefore this decision does not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture and traditions.

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

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       If approved, staff will arrange for the signage and line marking changes to be undertaken.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       Should the Community Board proceed with Option 2, the do-nothing option, there will be

4 Mathers Road – 33115 and 59 Sparks Road – 43397

·    No improvements in weather protection for people waiting for the bus.

Outside Sumner Coronation Garden on Main Road - 42596

·    No improvements in access to the bus stop.

·    Buses would continue to block the traffic lane when stopping at this bus stop.

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:

·    Stopping, standing, and parking restrictions (including bus stops) under Clause 7 of the Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.

·    Bus passenger shelters under Section 339 (1) of the Local Government Act 1974.

·    To hear and determine objections to bus stop shelters.

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1         This report has not been reviewed and approved by the Legal Services Unit.

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: 10.4.1 More people are choosing to travel by public transport - >=14 million trips per year

·     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    The Parks Unit has indicated that it has no issues with the proposed plan for bus stop 42596 outside Sumner Coronation Garden on Main Road.

6.11    Staff did not receive any submissions regarding the proposed plan for bus stop 33115 outside 4 Mathers Road.

6.12    Staff received three submissions regarding the plan proposed for bus stop 43397 outside 59 Sparks Road.

6.12.1       Two affected residents supported the proposed plan.

6.12.2       One resident objected to the proposed plan and raised the following concerns:

·    Buses block the driveway for longer than a typical pick-up and drop-off stop.

·    Increased risk of graffiti, damage to fencing, fence break-ins, and litter.

·    Safety risks associated with the narrow road width.

6.12.3       Staff followed up the issue of longer dwell time with Environment Canterbury (ECan). ECan confirmed that this bus stop is used only for normal for pick-up and drop-off of passengers and has no other operational function (i.e. timing point or driver changeover). Staff informed the resident accordingly and advised them to contact ECan directly if the issue occurs again. In addition, the installation of a shelter is unlikely to affect this issue.

6.12.4       In terms of the second concern, staff have responded to the resident that vandalism, privacy issues, and graffiti may occasionally occur at some bus stops, but they are not widespread issues across Christchurch. Should such an incident arise, the police can be contacted, as this behaviour is unacceptable. In the case of graffiti, the relevant Council team will address the issue. Furthermore, the shelter is being installed at an existing, well-used bus stop. This means the concerns mentioned may already exist at this location, and the addition of a shelter will not significantly increase the likelihood of such incidents.

6.12.5       Staff will refer the concern about litter to the relevant Council team to consider installing a rubbish bin.

6.12.6       Staff have not proposed any changes to the current bus stop layout and have not identified any safety issues with the existing arrangement.

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

6.13.1       Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.14    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.

6.15    The decisions do 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

6.16    The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions. However, providing shelters along with other bus stop upgrades will enhance public transport user satisfaction and encourage more people to use public transport.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

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

Colin Windleborn, Property Consultant

Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:

Anne Columbus, General Manager Corporate Services/Chief People Officer

 

 

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is to seek a decision by the Community Board under delegated authority from the Council to a Road Stopping application under the Road Stopping Policy 2020 and pursuant to the Public Works Act 1981.

1.2       The Council’s Transport team has accepted the Road Stopping application, subject to Community Board approval.

1.3       This report has originated from an application lodged by the owner of 215 Taylors Mistake Road, Taylors Mistake, to stop and purchase an area of road (being approx. 305m2) located adjacent to their property. Attachment A

1.4       The decisions proposed in this report will enable staff to process a stopping of the road and transfer of this land to the applicant. These actions will allow the applicant to develop a new dwelling and yard area on their land.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the 215 Taylors Mistake Road - Road Stopping Application 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 the proposed Road Stopping details have been assessed and approved by Transport staff.

4.         Resolve pursuant to Sections 116(1), of the Public Works Act 1981 to stop and sell to the adjoining owners, that parcel of land shown as Concept Attachment A to this report containing 305m2, at market value, and to amalgamate that parcel of land with the owner’s adjoining land contained in Record of Title CB374/135.

5.         Authorises the Manager Property Consultancy under delegated authority to undertake all actions, negotiations and to conclude the agreements necessary to facilitate the above on terms and conditions acceptable to him at his sole discretion, and in doing so make any decisions necessary to give effect to this.

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       The owners of 215 Taylors Mistake Road have lodged an application for the Council to stop a 305m2 section of legal road, adjacent to their land, located on a bend on Taylors Mistake Road, Taylors Mistake. The applicant wishes to purchase this land and amalgamate with their existing title, to enable redevelopment of their site.

3.2       The legal road area is currently being used by way of a Licence with Christchurch City Council for the applicants’ garages, access ramp and currently forms a part of their garden space. The land has been maintained by the private owners since consent from Council was granted for the construction of the garage in 1988.

3.3       The land is not held by the Council for any current or future planned public work.

3.4       The existing footpath and public street accessibility will not be altered, and staff view the application as non-controversial. In consideration of the factors involved, staff are hereby recommending for the Public Works Act Road Stopping process to be utilised.

3.5       Once the road area is stopped, the land will be transferred to the applicant at market value and all costs involved in this process are being met by the applicant.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       The current owners of 215 Taylors Mistake have applied for Council to ‘stop’ a portion of legal road located adjacent to their property on a hairpin bend on Taylors Mistake Road. The owners intend to purchase this area of land and amalgamate with their existing title, enabling them to redevelop and landscape their property.

4.2       The road to be stopped totals an area of 305m2 aligns with the applicant’s existing boundary fence. Please refer to Attachment A, showing the area of road proposed to be stopped.

4.3       The applicant’s existing garage landscaping and ramp have been in place for at least 38 years The historical presence of the landscaping ramp and garage has provided a common local assumption that this land has always formed part of the adjoining private property. Until this time, the land has been managed by the property owner. Please refer to Attachment B for additional street view and aerial imagery.

4.4       The road stopping will not affect the public sealed roading or pedestrian footpath. Nor will this road stopping cause any accessibility or safety issues for users of the road or footpath.

4.5       There is no Council or external party infrastructure located under the area of road proposed to be stopped. However, there is a portion of the retaining wall immediately adjacent to the roading stopping and an easement will be put in place to ensure access is maintained to this.

4.6       Once the road area has been stopped, the land shall be transferred to the applicant at full market value and amalgamated with their existing land title. Staff have sourced a property valuation report which has been agreed with the applicant and supports the proposed transfer value.

4.7       The applicant’s land is zoned ‘Residential Hills Zone’, and the addition of the stopped road area could result in an additional potential for subdivision. The minimum lot size permitted under the RH zone is 650m2. Including the 305m2 addition of the stopped road, the applicant’s landholding will total 955m2. A net site area of 650m2 excluding driveways is required. A resource consent application for undersized lots can be made.

4.8       There is a rule within the Residential Hills zone that allows for conversion of an existing residential unit from one into two it is not reliant on the lot size, and the owner of the property could then subdivide.

4.9       Views of the community have not been sought on this occasion as there will be no effect on pedestrian or vehicular access. Nor will there be any impact on adjoining neighbours as mentioned above.

4.10    All costs in relation to this application, including staff time, legal review, survey and LINZ processing fees are being met by the applicant. A conditional agreement has been signed by the Council and applicant to record this obligation.

4.11    In summary, specifics of this Road Stopping application have been considered by Transport staff with reference to the Council’s Road Stopping Policy 2020, and a recommendation is hereby presented for the process to proceed, subject to Community Board approval, pursuant to the Public Works Act 1981.

4.16.1 Option Description: Approve the road stopping pursuant to Section 116(1) of the Public Works Act 1981, as outlined in the Council’s Road Stopping Policy 2020 and the transfer of the stopped land to the applicant at a market value sum.

4.16.2 Option Advantages

·     Is consistent with Council’s Strategic framework as it transfers rights to enable further development.

·     Will tidy up the ownership of this section of land, which has long been located behind the applicant’s boundary fence, with little involvement from Council.

·     Will remove the Council from any future maintenance of this section of land.

·     Will enable the applicant to complete their intended property development.

·     The Council will be remunerated appropriately for the transfer of land to the private owner.

4.16.3 Option Disadvantages

·     There are no disadvantages as the land is not required for a current or future public work.

4.17    Alternative Option: Decline the road stopping process and transfer of land to the applicant.

4.17.1 Option Description: Do not approve the road stopping.

4.17.2 Option Advantages

·     The Council would retain this section of road, albeit for no likely public purpose.

4.17.3 Option Disadvantages

·     This alternative would be inconsistent with previous decisions made by Community Boards and previous applications for road stopping under the Council’s Road Stopping Policy 2020.

·     The applicant will need to fund the Road Stopping application fee and staff costs incurred to date, with no positive outcome being achieved.

·     The Council will need to contribute to maintenance costs of the land, when there is no projected need for the land.

·     No transfer remuneration will be received by Council.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.18    In making its decision, the Community Board needs to consider the impact of stopping and selling this land to the applicant. As outlined in the report, the impacts are low, given the location and historical use of the land. There are no impacts on the public’s ability to access the footpath or street.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       There are no significant risks identified with this process and implementation. The Transport unit have considered any risks and concluded there is no operational reason not to stop and transfer this portion of road.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1         The Council’s decision-making is in accordance with the general powers of competence set out in Section 12(2) “Status and Powers” of the Local Government Act.

6.2.2         This proposed Road Stopping has been determined by staff to meet the Public Works Act 1981 criteria, alongside Council’s Road Stopping Policy 2020, and the reasons and decision-making process is set out below.

6.2.3         The Community Board holds delegation to authorise the Road Stopping process, along with a transfer of the subsequent fee simple land to the adjoining property owner.

 

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

There are two statutory processes under which Road Stoppings can be enacted. The authority to determine which statutory procedure should be employed to undertake a particular road stopping (either under the Local Government Act 1974 or under the Public Works Act 1981) is delegated to staff. The Policy establishes:

4.5 The following criteria have been established to ensure that the appropriate statutory procedure is consistently adopted by the Council, and to avoid, as much as is practicable, such decisions being successfully contested by any party.

Local Government Act 1974 process

4.6 The Local Government Act 1974 road-stopping procedure will be adopted if one or more of the following circumstances apply:

a.  Where any public right of access to any public space could be removed or materially limited or extinguished as a result of the road being stopped; or

b.   If it is found through the review process that the road stopping could injuriously affect or have a negative or adverse impact on any other property; or

c.  The road stopping is, in the judgment of the Council, likely to be controversial; or

d.   If there is any doubt or uncertainty as to which procedure should be used to stop the road; or

e.  The Public Works Act 1981 process is not able to be used or is not used.

Public Works Act 1981 process

4.7 The Public Works Act 1981 road stopping procedure may be adopted only if all of the following circumstances apply:

a.   Where there are no more than two properties, other than the applicant’s property, adjoining the road proposed to be stopped.

b.   Where the written consent to the proposed road stopping of all adjoining landowners (other than the applicant) to the proposed road-stopping is obtained.

c.   Where no other persons, including the public generally, are considered by the Council in its judgment to be adversely affected by the proposed road stopping.

d.   Where the road proposed to be stopped is to be amalgamated with the adjoining property or properties (as appropriate); and

e.   Where other reasonable access exists or will be provided to replace the access previously provided by the road proposed to be stopped (i.e. by the construction of a new road); and

f.    Where the use of the Public Works Act 1981 road stopping procedure is approved by the relevant Government department or Minister.

4.8 If any one of the circumstances referred to in clause 4.7 does not apply, then the Local Government Act 1974 process must be used.

6.3.1         The appropriate process is this instance is the Public Works Act 1981.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4       The required decision:

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

6.4.2         Is assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The low level of significance was determined due to there being no change in use or appearance of the land which already appears to form part of the adjoining site. There is no change to access or use of the road or footpath for the public.

6.4.3         Is consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

6.6       There is no impact on the public use of the sealed road and footpath, should the road stopping proceed. The area of land to be stopped has long been incorporated into the adjoining site by fencing and landscaping, therefore the appearance from the street will not change.

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

6.7.1   Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.8       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.

6.9       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.

6.10    The decision does not alter the appearance or use of the land as it has always been incorporated by fencing with the adjoining land.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

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

6.12    The use of the land will not change as it has long been used as part of the adjoining site and can only be used in the future by the adjoining site for landscaping.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is to consider the proposals for new licences from three paragliding schools for new licences to operate generally from the Port Hills.

1.2       The report has been prepared in response to the expiry of the existing licences in March 2026 and follows a Request for Proposals process inviting new operators.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board:

1.         Receives the information in the Port Hills Paragliding Schools - proposed new licences Report.

2.         Approve licences for a period of five years with two rights of renewal, to Christchurch Paragliding Ltd; Cloudbase Ventures Ltd; Progress Paragliding Ltd for access to the sites listed in the schedule shown in Attachment A and generally as per the plan shown in Attachment B of the agenda report.

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

4.         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 licences.

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       Paragliding is a popular recreational activity practiced from a range of sites on the Port Hills but also on some Banks Peninsula sites. It is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority, and all paragliders must be trained and registered with the New Zealand Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association before being able to free fly.

3.2       Training is undertaken by registered paragliding schools who have used key sites on the Port Hills for this purpose.  Existing Council licences to use park/reserve land for current operators expire this year and new licences have been requested.

3.3       Staff have considered the popularity of this activity and impact on other users to determine whether any or how many licences should be issued.  There have not been any significant issues raised in consultation and staff support continuing with three licences for paragliding schools.

3.4       This report recommends the granting of licences to the three successful respondents to a Request for Proposal process.

3.5       Note that three take off and two landing sites as shown below fall into the Te Pātaka o Rāikaihautū Banks Peninsula Community Board ward and will require approval from that Community Board.  The sites are not fundamental to the operation of the schools but if approved by that Board will be included in the licences.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

Port Hills Paragliding- the sites

4.1       Paragliding has been practiced in the Port Hills for over thirty years and remains popular.  The Canterbury Hang Gliding and Paragliding Club (CHGPC/the Club) is the second biggest club in the country with around 300 members.  This is due to the quality of the wind conditions and take off sites with Taylors Mistake being a premium learner’s site and the gondola being a top-quality intermediate/advanced site. Other sites are used periodically dependent on the wind conditions

4.2       Take off sites are 1-14 with landing sites 15-23 as shown on the map below. All take off sites are  currently grazed with sheep for management purposes; the landing sites are generally sports grounds. The sites are a mix of Reserves Act recreation reserve/ scenic reserve together with Local Government Act park.

4.3       Note that take off sites 7 (Allendale), 11 (Te Oka) and 14 (Mt Pleasant Towers) together with landing sites 15 (Naval Point) and 22 (Allendale) are in the Banks Peninsula ward and are not subject to the decisions in this report.  The sites are not fundamental to the operation of the schools but if approved by that Board will be included in the licences.

 

Paragliding Regulation and Training

4.4       Paragliding is regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) who have delegated management of recreational paragliding by way of a Part 149 Aviation Recreation Certificate to the New Zealand Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association (NZHGPA) issued pursuant to the Civil Aviation Act 1990.   Under this regulation all pilots are required to be members of the New Zealand Paragliding Association and to be trained to a minimum standard (PG1-2) with a qualification issued by the NZHGPA who set training qualifications and quality assurance standards.  Local clubs such as CHGPC assist NZHGPA in a local liaison role.

4.5       Training schools are regulated with requirements to maintain the NZHGPA Operations and Procedures Manual which is audited together with the Business Safety Management System and Emergency Response Plan every three years by NZHGPA.  Commercial Tandem Paragliding remains managed by the CAA with three yearly audits.

Paragliding Schools Licencing and use

4.6       Paragliding businesses offering flying instruction and/or tandem flights have operated informally from Council sites on the Port Hills for a number of years.  In 2020 following a request from an operator wishing to undertake tandem flights, the Council undertook a trial of operating licences with a term of five years.  Three licences were issued and have functioned successfully since that time.  All operators offer instruction and one offers tandem flights as well.  The licences expire on 31 March 2026.

4.7       Staff reviewed the operation of the schools in 2024 with a view to determining whether licences should be continued for this use. This involved interview of existing operators and CHGPC Board members to:

·   identify level of overall and school use;

·   potential conflict with other users/stock management;

·   capacity of sites.

4.8       Staff noted that use of sites for all use either instruction or recreation is weather dependent and so determining average level of use is difficult.  In terms of business use: two of the businesses would average around fifteen - twenty people per week in peak season which is September to March with April to August generally off season with low level use.  One business runs at around half that level as it splits its business with paramotoring which is not permitted for instruction from Council land under the terms of the proposed licence.

4.9       The Taylors Mistake take off site near the Summit Road with landing behind the beach is by far the most popular as this is the best site for beginner level training and entry level recreational flying.  At times this site can be congested with both types of use.  The CHGPC have established protocols for sharing of the site in high use circumstances and the businesses have established informal communication to avoid unmanageable overlap.  The other high use site is the gondola on Mt Cavendish.  This is predominantly used by recreation users with a small amount of instruction undertaken.

4.10    In terms of conflict of paragliding with other use/users staff note that keeping sites clear for take-off on the hills can conflict with regeneration of native vegetation and use of sites for passive recreation. This is a particular issue on Mt Cavendish which is a scenic reserve with high native plant values.  Staff have worked with the Club to establish a compromise that meets the needs of all parties.  Dialogue with the Club over site issues has been undertaken with discussion of the potential for an Memorandum of Understanding style user agreement. Generally given the relatively short periods that paragliders use the site all park users can be accommodated.

4.11    The take-off sites do not significantly restrict stock management.

4.12    Both the existing businesses and the CHGPA have advised that three schools are the optimum number.  Given the popularity of the sport and the integral part that schools play in enabling participation, staff have proceeded on that basis with licences for three schools proposed to continue.

Request for Proposal Process

4.13    Given the commercial nature of the licences, an open transparent tender process (RFP) was undertaken in accordance with Council property policy.

4.14    The current licensees submitted proposals with two making them in the alternative to other proposals provided by their operating managers who have made offers to purchase the business.  The proposed new operators have been in training with existing owners since early 2025.  They have entered into an agreement to purchase the business together with all the existing operating systems which have been proven and are certified.  All operators offer the fundamental beginners training service with each offering a slightly different emphasis in terms of training options.

4.15    Staff are confident in the one existing and two new operators who have demonstrated capacity and sufficient skill either through the current licence or through their employment with the existing licensees.

4.16    The three operators have been recommended by both the Club President and the CE of NZHGPA and all three businesses have recently (December 2025) been audited and received accreditation from NZHGPA.

4.17    Staff have given conditional approval for licences to: Christchurch Paragliding Ltd (Ryan Scarlett); Cloudbase Base Ventures Ltd (Bevan Small) and Progress Paragliding Ltd (Ondrej Wieden).  This report recommends approval to enter into licences with them

4.18    Key Licence terms:

·   Five year term with two rights of renewal;

·   Requirement to be certified by NZHGPA;

·   Rental: Base rate $650 (plus GST) plus cost/flight.  Method is a fair method of payment in proportion to use.  Flight rate is comparable to CAA charges.  At this rate for 2025, two existing schools would pay flat rate only and one would pay an additional $137.00.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.19.1       Enter into three licences.

4.19.2       Enter into less than three licences

4.19.3       Do not enter into any licences.

4.20    The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.20.1       Reduce/increase the number of sites: The previous sites available to licence were reviewed by staff prior to the RFP process and considered in terms of ongoing suitability for use in terms of capacity and impact.  Some additional sites were requested through the RFP process and assessed in the same way.  Staff consider the proposed sites meet the balance between competing demand for use.

4.20.2       Rental: f two alternative options were considered but not favoured: a flat rate would either punish businesses in low years or favour them disproportionately in a high year; base rate plus % of revenue- a percentage of revenue required high administrative costs for business to separate Council site revenue from  other elements of the service, the charge per flight achieves the same end of paying in proportion to the level of use.

4.20.3       Additional licences: Existing licensees and the Club advised that the optimum number is three schools.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.21    Preferred Option: Enter into three licences:

4.21.1       Option Description: Accept all three proposals submitted as part of the RFP, to run paragliding schools from the sites as shown and enter into operating licences with them.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       Operation of schools will increase the number of paragliders and lead to unmanageable congestion with accidents occurring leading to bad publicity.  The risk is considered medium in that operation of the schools in recent years has not led to an explosion of users.  There is a natural attrition of students with relatively low numbers of pilots going on to take up the sport. NZHGPA has advised that the current level of schools is manageable from a congestion and safety management perspective.  Existing site risks have been mitigated by Club operational guidelines.

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.

“To grant leases of recreation reserves in accordance with this section”- section 56 Reserves Act 1977.

“To grant leases or licences for a maximum term of 35 years to any person or body over parks and to authorise staff to sign all required documentation” Local Government Act 2002.”

6.2.2         Note licence covers land held as recreation reserve, scenic reserve and Park, so licence entered into pursuant to sections 54, 56, 59A Reserves Act 1977 and general provisions for ‘Park’- Local Government Act

6.3       Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1         Local Government Act 2002-Decision Making including consideration of community views.

6.3.2         Reserves Act 1977, use consistent with recreation use classification, public notice pursuant to sections 54(1)(d), s56(1)(b).

6.3.3         Local Government Act 2002, use consistent with park, public notice pursuant to section s138.

6.3.4         Department of Conservation approval required pursuant to Reserves Act, authority delegated to CEO.

6.3.5         Legal advice is that the Council will be considered a ‘Person Conducting a Business or Undertaking’ in regard to the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015.  Compliance requirements in regard to this act are overseen by the NZHGPA and legal advice is that the Council has limited practical control of the activity.  Note also that the NZHGPA is not considered an adventure activity in terms of the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015 and so not subject to the regulations in that act applying to adventure activities, Refer Attachment C.

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, in particular the strategic priority of being an inclusive and equitable city that puts people at the centre. Paragliding is a popular recreation activity enabling wellbeing, accessibility and connection.

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 considering the number of people affected, the level of impact on those affected and the low cost to Council associated with entering into the licences.

6.4.3         Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.

·     Physical Recreation and Sports Strategy 2002

·     Port Hills Recreation Strategy 2004

·     Lease Policy December 2015

“When seeking to lease premises for which there is a broader market or public interest, the Council will seek tenants through an open and transparent public process, such as by tender, by request for proposals or by advertising to attract potential tenants.”

For the purpose of this policy lease is interpreted to include licence

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

6.6       Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

6.6.1         Activity: Parks and Foreshore

·     Level of Service: 6.8.10.1 Appropriate use and occupation of parks is facilitated - Processing of the application is started within ten working days of receiving application - 95%

6.13    The table below sets out issues raised in feedback and staff comment in response.

Issue

Staff Comment

Is there an emergency plan in place for each site?

 

Safety management is handled by NZHGPA with all safety and emergency management systems audited on a three yearly basis

It seems like every time there is a major rescue that puts volunteer rescuers at risk its involving a paraglider down. I support this activity but it does pose a higher risk for technical rescue. Do the groups that are involved in this activity contribute in any way to the organisations that rescue them?  If not they should be required to pay a levy and not put that burden solely on the taxpayers

The question of tax payer costs for recreation activity is not a matter for Council decision

My feedback might be out of date - my wife paid for a tandem flight in port hills around 30 years ago. The operator at time didn't have a second person to assist him,  and tried to land same place he took off. Top landings are difficult and problematic and in our case landed us in hospital. The safest and usual landing is a playground, beach, etc.

All operational systems including staff levels and safety issues are subject to management oversite and audit by NZHGPA.  All three businesses have recently received audit certification.

Having more available landing sites could allow for easier landings in an emergency situation.

The proposed landing sites have been reviewed by the Club and business and are considered suitable and adequate.

The one near Little River may bother local residents.

The take off site is on Te Oka Reserve with a landing site on private land.  It is only used periodically and staff consider that it will have low impact

Whether money from commercial operations would be passed on to the local communities for the inconvenience.

Rental as a matter of practice is contributed to the general income pool and is received by the community in that sense.  Inconvenience to local communities is considered low overall and distribution would be problematic.

 

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

6.14.1       Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere- Heathcote Community Board.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.15    The decisions do 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 involve a matter of interest to Mana Whenua and could impact on our agreed partnership priorities with Ngā Papatipu Rūnanga.

6.17    Background material for the consideration of licences was forwarded to Whitiora and Ngāti Wheke on 8 August 2025 prior to the RFP process in an early notice of the matter.  No issues were identified at that point.  The operators requested additional sites in their proposals and these additional sites were forwarded to both Whitiora and Ngāti Wheke in a further notice on 13 November 2025. No issues were identified.

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 new licences does not have an impact on climate change as there is limited carbon footprint associated with licencing itself and there is no change to current emissions.  In terms of the activities associated with the licence there is some travel involved getting to take off and pick up sites.  The sites are generally local and this is considered reasonable in the circumstances.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       Subject to approval of recommendations, Property staff to complete negotiation of licence terms and complete documentation.

1.   Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1       The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the Landscape Concept Plan for Ōpāwaho Pathway Hunter Terrace Stage 1 as shown in Attachment A.

1.2       This is a staff generated report.

 

2.   Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board (the Board):

1.         Receives the information in the Ōpāwaho Pathway Hunter Terrace Stage 1 Report.

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

3.         Approves the Landscape Concept Plan for Ōpāwaho Pathway Hunter Terrace Stage 1, as shown in Attachment A the area marked Indicative Stage 1 Extent, excluding the area marked on Attachment A as Future Potential Stages.

 

3.   Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1       This report seeks approval of the Landscape Concept Plan for Stage 1 of the Ōpāwaho Pathway. Stage 1 involves removal of the former sealed carriageway outside Christchurch South Library, Ōmōkihi, and its replacement with new pathways and native planting, consistent with the Mid Heathcote Ōpāwaho Master Plan (2009).

3.2       The project is being delivered alongside the library rebuild to provide a coordinated outcome and improve access, amenity, and ecological values along the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River corridor.

3.3       Targeted engagement with Ngāi Tūāhuriri and key community groups has shown broad support for Stage 1. The preferred option is to approve the Landscape Concept Plan, excluding future potential stages, to enable timely delivery aligned with the library opening and efficient coordination of works.

 

4.   Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1       The Mid Heathcote Ōpāwaho Masterplan (2009) provides guidance for the long-term management of the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River corridor between Colombo Street and Opawa Road. The Masterplan includes the removal of the existing sealed carriageway along the section of Hunter Terrace outside the library and for this to be replaced with plantings and new pathways.

4.2       The rebuild of Christchurch South Library, Ōmōkihi, is currently underway and is expected to be completed by October 2026.

4.3       The development of an approximately 800 metre section of the former Hunter Terrace, consistent with the Mid Heathcote Ōpāwaho Masterplan, is being planned to align with the library rebuild and to open at the same time.

4.4       The area being developed as part of stage 1 starts at Colombo Street and continues for 800 metres. It is outside of the Christchurch South Market lease area.

4.8.2         Decline the Landscape Concept Plan.

4.9       The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.9.1         Leaving the sealed carriageway in place. This was ruled out due to the provisions in the Mid Heathcote Master Plan and a general desire to reduce the area of hard surface adjacent to the river and increase ecological values.

4.9.2         Developing the entire closed road portion. This was ruled out as there is currently a lease held by the Christchurch South Market on the remaining area, and their preference is to retain the extent of the current hard surface for practicality.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.10    Preferred Option: Approve the Landscape Concept Plan.

4.10.1       Option Description: Approve the Landscape Concept plan, excluding the potential future stages shown in the plan.

6.   Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1       Implementation costs are based on quantity surveying estimates. More accurate costs will be confirmed at the tender stage. If costs exceed the approved budget, minor shortfalls will be managed through small design adjustments. Any significant impacts on the level of service will be discussed with the Community Board before the project proceeds.

6.2       Asbestos contamination has been identified in one area of the project footprint. This contamination is currently below the depth of the proposed works. A survey will be undertaken to confirm the extent of contamination, and construction methods will be adjusted if required. A Contaminated Site Management Plan will guide works in this area.

6.3       Flooding or ground saturation during construction could delay works or cause damage. A buffer will be included in the construction programme to allow for potential delays.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1         As per the Christchurch City Council’s Delegation Register 9 August 2024, the Community Board has the delegation to approve the location of, and construction of, or alteration and 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         Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.

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

6.6.3         Is consistent with the Council’s Plans and Policies.  

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

6.8       Parks, Heritage and Coastal Environment

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       In December 2025, staff shared the draft Landscape Concept Plan with the Beckenham Neighbourhood Association (BNA), the Ōpāwaho Heathcote River Network Trust (OHRN) and Whitiora. Whitiora, went on to seek feedback from the Ngāi Tūāhuriri kaitiaki committee.

6.10    Summary of feedback and staff response to issues raised. (Refer to Attachments B, C and D for the full feedback from the three groups, including feedback on the remaining closed portion of Hunter Tce).

·    There is broad support for Stage 1 of the project

·    None of the groups engaged with opposed the removal of the former Hunter Terrace

·    Naturalisation of the riverbank and riparian planting were widely supported.

 

·    Ecological restoration and improvement of freshwater values were strong shared priorities.

 

Staff response to Issues raised:

Feedback theme

Feedback received

Staff response

River access and structures

Ngāi Tūāhuriri see some benefit in access to the river but requested that no structures be placed within the river.

Further engagement with Ngāi Tūāhuriri will occur during planning of future stages to ensure alignment with their values.

Path surfaces

Ngāi Tūāhuriri and OHRN requested minimising hard surfacing within the riparian margin, with OHRN preferring a gritted surface rather than asphalt. BNA supported sufficient hard surfacing to accommodate a functional shared walking and cycling path.

 

OHRN recommended the gravel pathway connects directly connects to the sittable terracing to avoid informal, unsightly desire lines forming through use.

A three-metre-wide sealed shared path with an additional gravel walking path is considered an appropriate compromise.

 

If the sittable terracing is created in a future stage this will be considered.

Arrival space and public art

OHRN suggested whāriki/mat paving for the arrival space and reinstatement of the removed sculpture.

 

BNA supported relocation of the sculpture on or near the site in consultation with the artist.

Ngāi Tūāhuriri requested separate engagement on public art.

A staff meeting is planned to discuss public art. Further engagement is required before finalising art for the space.

Vegetation – exotic species

OHRN and BNA supported removal of certain weedy exotic species on the riverbank.

Self-seeded flowering cherries and other woody weeds will be removed.

Vegetation – planting location

Ngāi Tūāhuriri requested new native trees be planted only above the basalt wall.

Only low-growing species will be planted between the basalt wall and the river edge.

Willow management

OHRN supported selective pruning of the dominant willow on the true right bank to maintain shading while improving views of the river.

This will be discussed with a CCC arborist.

Cycle parking

OHRN and BNA raised concerns about adequate cycle parking provision.

Cycle parking is planned on both the northern and southern sides of the new library.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6.11    None of these community suggestions described above required changes to the Landscape Concept Plan for Stage 1.

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

6.12.1       Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere-Heathcote Community Board

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    While the decision does not involve a significant statutory impact on Mana Whenua interests, engagement has confirmed that the proposal aligns with Ngāi Tūāhuriri aspirations to see waterways returned to a more natural state.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.16    The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.16.1       Contribute positively to adaptation to the impacts of climate change by reducing hard surface and increasing the area vegetated.

6.16.2       Contribute positively to emissions reductions by facilitating improved passive transport.

7.   Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1       The next steps include detailed design, consenting, tendering and then construction.

T20 Sumner Smash

The T20 Sumner Smash was a fantastic day, bringing together players and spectators for an afternoon of friendly competition and community spirit.

Team Rugby came away with the win over Team Cricket, playing for the trophy that honours Des Lyons, a true Sumner icon and much-loved figure across the local sports clubs. His legacy of community spirit and sportsmanship was celebrated throughout the day.

The event also had a strong fundraising focus, with proceeds supporting the rebuild of the Sumner Pavilion. Organisers raised an estimated $20,000–$25,000, and Council staff are working closely with the volunteer project committee to provide guidance and support for funding.

4.3       Memoranda - memoranda related to matters of relevance to the Board have been separately circulated for the Board’s information and are listed below.

·   Memo - Draft Plan Change 20 - Memo to Councillors and the Mayor – cc’d to Community Boards (circulated 26 January 2026)

·   Memo - Lincoln Road transport and three waters upgrade (circulated 5 February 2026) – refer: https://www.newsline.ccc.govt.nz/news/story/transport-and-water-upgrades-planned-for-lincoln-road.

4.4       Staff advice to the Board – the following staff advice has been received by the Board since the last Area Report in response to referrals for information from public forums and correspondence to the Board:

·   On 27 January 2026 the Board received staff advice in response to a request for staff to investigate the issues raised in a public forum presentation about road safety issues with cyclists on Sumner Hills presented to the Board on 11 December 2025. Staff advised that they passed on the video footage to Police and they have since been liaising with Police who put in a tasking to their motorcycle enforcement team to focus on Evans Pass and Wakefield Ave for cyclists and cars. As a result of the tasking, the enforcement team got a couple of offenders. A separate action remains with staff to respond to the Board with advice on the roading layout and any options to improve road safety.

·   On 29 January 2026 the Board received staff advice following a site visit at the Opawa Road easement on 8 December 2025 that was an action from a public forum to the Board on 14 August 2025. Staff advised about Parking Ticks that the vehicle crossings along this section of road are a lot wider than the driveway itself. Based on the Land Transport (Road user) Rule, drivers are not permitted to park within one metre of a driveway - this is measured from the prolongation of the driveway, not the kerb cutdown. It is standard practise for parking ticks to be marked in line with this rule, as a guide to drivers. Marking parking ticks in the correct way therefore has the potential to encourage drivers to park closer than they may be already. For this reason (based on site measurements), staff are not supportive of marking any further parking ticks. How ever further markings can be considered as part of the future proposal - for example yellow lines may be considered in locations with a history of driveway compliance issues. Staff are preparing a plan for consultation based on resident’s feedback.
