3. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Introduction Te Whakatkinga
3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by the agent on behalf of each developer. A preferred name and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.
3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.
3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.
3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.
3.3.2 A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).
3.3.3 The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area.
3.3.4 A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.
3.3.5 Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.
3.3.6 A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.
3.3.7 The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage.
3.3.8 A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance.
3.4 The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 are set out below.
3.4.1 Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality.
3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.
3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.
3.4.4 Names of living persons.
3.4.5 Names related to the developer of a subdivision.
3.4.6 Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.
3.4.7 Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.
3.5 The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard.
3.6 Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.
3.7 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed names.
3.8 Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because the roads to be named are not collector roads and/or site(s) of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).
3.9 No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).
3.10 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below.

Spriggs was part of the cohort of WWI returnees who received land allotments under the Discharged Soldiers Settlement Act 1915 to establish their livelihoods in the Hei Hei area.
3.45 Bryant Street - Joseph Bryant was one of the WWI returned servicemen who participated in the Discharged Soldiers Settlement scheme at Hei Hei. Although archival records relating to Bryant are sparse, his documentation in the Paparua County Council rates books and the Lands Department files confirms his status as a soldier settler who took up residence in the Hei Hei community during the 1930s. He represents the broader cohort of discharged servicemen who were allocated land under the government's post-war rehabilitation and resettlement initiative, contributing to the development of the Hei Hei Settlement.
3.46 The proposed and alternative names are considered to be consistent with the policy.
3.47 Notwithstanding, the discretion lies with the Community Board to approve any of the above name options, including the alternative names.

3. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Introduction Te Whakatkinga
3.1 A road naming request has been submitted by the agent on behalf of the developers. A preferred name and alternative names have been put forward for the roads.
3.2 The recommended road names have been checked against existing road names in Christchurch and bordering districts, for duplication, alternative spelling, or other similarities in spelling or pronunciation to avoid the potential for confusion. The proposed names are considered sufficiently different to existing road names.
3.3 The recommended road names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are considered to be consistent with this policy. The specific criteria for assessing a name from clause 2 is set out below.
3.3.1 A traditional or Māori name which is acceptable to the Rūnanga or Iwi; this may be a name reflecting the physical characteristics of an area, an activity or event associated with the area or of a notable ancestor.
3.3.2 A feature of historical, social, cultural, environmental or physical importance in the area (e.g., Carlton Mill Road or Carlton Mill Reserve*).
3.3.3 The name of a notable family, person or event associated with the locality or with the wider Christchurch area.
3.3.4 A name in recognition of a person’s service. This can be for community service, conservation, sport, the arts, science and research or other sphere of activity.
3.3.5 Consistency with a common or established theme for naming in a subdivision or locality.
3.3.6 A name that reflects the diverse cultures and communities of the locality or of Christchurch generally.
3.3.7 The name of an event or activity strongly associated with the immediate location including an informal name for the area that is (or was historically) in common usage.
3.3.8 A name associated with a person, event or activity of significance to Christchurch including names associated with people, events, or places of national and international significance.
3.4 The criteria for names that are not suitable for approval from clause 6 are set out below.
3.4.1 Names of people, flora, fauna or geographical features not associated with the area, e.g., names of native trees which are not present in the area or views that cannot be identified, except where the name continues a current naming theme in the locality.
3.4.2 Currently trading commercial organisations except for sponsorship names for facilities and leased parks.
3.4.3 Anagrams, amalgamations or derivatives of people's names.
3.4.4 Names of living persons.
3.4.5 Names related to the developer of a subdivision.
3.4.6 Name of a person, club or organisation associated with a privately owned building on Council land, where the club or organisation does not hold the ground lease for the building.
3.4.7 Names for roads which may cause confusion because they are associated with another geographical location or feature e.g., Parklands Drive which is not located in the Parklands suburb.
3.5 The recommended road names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are considered to be consistent with the Standard.
3.6 Under the Roads and Right-of-Way Naming Policy, the names considered must be requested by the developer. There is no ability to consider alternative names without first checking whether there are any duplications or similarities with other road and right-of-way names.
3.7 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand who have raised no concerns with the proposed names.
3.8 Consultation under the policy with rūnanga is not required because the roads to be named are not collector roads and/or site(s) of significance under the District Plan (clause 3 of the Naming Policy).
3.9 No addresses of neighbouring properties are affected by the proposed road naming (clause 12.2 of the Naming Policy).
3.10 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below.
Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira
3.11 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.12 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.
3.13 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.
Proposed Names
3.14 The proposed roads are shown in Attachment A.
3.15 The proposed name and alternative names are themed for the local environment.

3.29 The proposed names are considered to be consistent with the policy and the alternative names are mostly considered to be consistent with the policy, except for “Lindmond” and “Richlind” as these names are amalgams and related to the name of a developer (Section 3.4.3 and 3.4.5 above).

3.2 The proposed plans also incorporate tactile pavers and a hardstand area (where required) to improve accessibility and passenger waiting areas.
3.5 A plan has been developed by staff for the provision of standard line marking at bus stops 33820 and 22419 on Nicholls Road near Halswell Road. However, following feedback from affected residents, staff have deferred this plan for further investigation.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
28 Ilam Road - 38676
4.1 The bus stop serves bus routes 3 and 100. On average, 25 passengers use this bus stop each day.
4.2 Ilam Arvida Retirement & Care, located adjacent to this bus stop, has requested the installation of a shelter to provide weather protection for all bus users, including a high proportion of elderly passengers.
4.3 In addition to the patronage threshold, staff also consider requests from elderly individuals, schools, hospitals, and people with disabilities, who are often highly reliant on public transport.
4.4 The current bus stop includes standard line marking, signage, and tactile pavers.
278 Riccarton Road - 37692
4.5 The bus stop serves bus routes 3, 5, Orbiter, and 130. On average, 36 passengers use this bus stop each day.
4.6 The current bus stop includes a standard bus box marking, lead-in no-stopping restrictions, tactile pavers, and signage. Also, the driveway after the bus box functions as a lead-out no‑ stopping restrictions for buses.
4.7 The bus stop previously included a seat until early 2023. It was removed because it obstructed access to the adjacent housing development.
Wales Street / Patterson Terrace Intersection – 22403 and 33812
4.8 These bus stops serve bus routes 7 and 125. On average, 32 passengers use the bus stop 33812 and 5 passengers use the bus stop 22403 each day.
4.9 The existing bus stop 33812 includes a seat and signage, while bus stop 22403 includes signage only.
4.10 A concern was raised by a bus driver that some drivers on Patterson Terrace, when approaching the intersection with Wales Street to turn, do not stop and check for other vehicles before proceeding. The intersection is currently uncontrolled and give way rules apply. Given the limited visibility at this intersection a formal control is recommended. In this case, based on the visibility, a stop control is warranted.
10 Christie Lane on Corsair Drive - 51491
4.11 The bus stop serves bus route 100. On average, 21 passengers use this bus stop each day.
4.12 The current bus stop includes a standard bus box marking and signage.

28 Ilam Road – 38676, 278 Riccarton Road – 37692, and 10 Christie Lane on Corsair Drive - 51491
· No improvement in weather protection.
Wales Street / Patterson Terrace Intersection – 22403 and 33812
· No improvement in weather protection.
· No improvements in access to the bus stop for buses.
· No improvements in access to and from the bus for bus passengers.
· Buses would continue to block the traffic lane when stopping at this bus stop (22403).
· No improvements to safety at the Patterson Terrace/ Wales Street intersection.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.2 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
· 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.
· Traffic control devices under Clause 6 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017.
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 bus stop upgrades.
6.10 The affected resident at bus stop 38676 outside 28 Ilam Road (Ilam Arvida Retirement & Care) supported staff’s preferred option (Option 1) on the proposed plan.
6.11 The affected resident at bus stop 37692 outside 278 Riccarton Road (ASURE Christchurch Classic Motel & Apartments) supported the proposed plan.
6.12 Staff received two objections for bus stop 51491 outside 10 Christie Lane on Corsair Drive, highlighting following concerns:
· Privacy issues.
· Blocking sunshine.
· Blocking the sight line for vehicles entering and exiting the driveway.
· Reducing the view from windows.
· Concern on the potential risks associated with installing a bin at the shelter.
6.13 Staff has responded that:
· Privacy concerns can occasionally arise at some bus stops but are not widespread across Christchurch. Should any unacceptable behaviour occur, the police can be contacted. We also note that the shelter will be installed at an existing, well-used bus stop. Therefore, the raised issues may already exist at this location, and adding a shelter is unlikely to significantly increase these risks.
· In relation to sunlight, sightlines, views, and rubbish bin, staff confirmed that the shelter will include glass walls and that no rubbish bin will be installed alongside it.
· Regarding the suggestion from one resident to relocate the bus stop outside Chinatown onto the existing shared path, staff advised that the current location meets standard bus stop spacing requirements. Relocation would reduce the spacing between stops and would not align with best practice, particularly given that this is already a heavily used stop. In addition, the concrete path adjacent to the shared path is within a heritage setting, which presents further constraints. There is also no kerb between the concrete path and the shared path. Relocating the stop there would therefore require construction of a new kerb. As a result, the cost of this option would be beyond the scope of Traffic Operations’ limited budget for public transport infrastructure.
6.14 Staff received two submissions for bus stop 22403 outside 125 Wales Street on Patterson Terrace, highlighting the following concerns:
· Pedestrians crossing, safe sightline, and safety concerns associated with proximity of bus stop to the intersection.
· Noise and vibration.
6.15 Staff has responded that:
· The proposed new location for bus stop 22403 provides a safe and operationally suitable space for the bus stop. The plan has been reviewed by a CCC Principal Safety Engineer and consulted with Environment Canterbury specialists, and no safety or operational concerns were raised.
· In relation to noise and vibration, staff advised that buses are expected to stop at this location only a few times per day and for a short period each time (around 30 seconds). In addition, as Christchurch transitions to more electric buses in the future, we anticipate further reductions in noise and vibration at bus stops.
· Regarding the suggestion from one resident to relocate the bus stop, staff advised that the proposed options (somewhere between 101 and 113 Wales Street) were considered but were not assessed reasonably practicable due to driveway spacing, road curvature, and required bus stop spacing.
· In addition, following the consultation process, additional community feedback was received regarding the possibility of a Stop control being installed on the Patterson Terrace approach to Wales Street. Staff have investigated this request and have recommended this be implemented.
6.16 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
6.16.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board.
6.16.2 Halswell Ward.
6.16.3 Hornby Ward.
6.16.4 Riccarton Ward.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.17 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.
6.18 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.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 Riccarton Shopping Centre (1997) Limited has applied for resource consent (RMA/2025/2721) seeking approval for variation on the existing conditions outlined in the original resource consent RMA20011830, to enable changes to the PAK’nSAVE tenancy, loading zone layout and access, and northern Matipo Street site access at the existing Westfield Shopping Centre.
3.1.1 As part of resource consent application RMA/2025/2721, the applicant proposes to upgrade the existing PAK’nSAVE loading area through the provision of a new loading dock with canopy, installation of electric security gates, and amendments to the existing Matipo Street access, including realignment of the pedestrian footpath, crossing island, and vehicle approach lanes.
3.2 Approval is sought for the associated changes within the legal road: shown within the blue shading on Attachment A.
3.2.1 A set of plans for more details of the design are included in the Attachment B – RMA/2025/2721 Resource Consent Application Report, from Page 71 onward.
3.3 Staff have identified two options for approval:
· Approve the changes to road layout as shown in Attachment A
· Reject the changes
3.4 Staff are recommending that the proposed changes are approved.
3.4.1 This allows the developer to meet the previously approved Resource Consent. The consent approval identifies that there are safety benefits for pedestrians and general traffic within the mall car park, and the general traffic impacts on the road has been assessed as being no worse than the current situation, and manageable through conditions on use.
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
Resource Consent
4.1 The original consent (RMA20011830) was granted on a non-notified basis by a commissioner on 17/12/2002. The consent was for changes to the PAK’nSAVE tenancy at the Westfield Shopping Centre to extend the loading dock and for site access from Matipo Street.
4.2 The applicant, Riccarton Shopping Centre (1997) Limited, has submitted a resource consent application to vary existing consent conditions to enable further upgrades to the PAK’nSAVE loading area and associated changes to the site vehicle access from Matipo Street.
4.3 The consent application has been processed by Council staff, and the associated transport effects on road safety and network efficiency have been assessed. The proposal is expected to generate following positive effects, including:
4.3.1 The current PAK’nSAVE’s loading activities operating outside the roller doors raise significant concerns due to their proximity to the footpath users and general traffic lanes.
4.3.2 The proposed variation is anticipated to improve the existing PAK’nSAVE’s loading zone operation by providing a dedicated at-grade separation between vehicular and pedestrian movements.
4.3.3 A continued internal footpath link will be provided and connected to the existing footpath at the site access, where the existing pedestrian crossing island will be upgraded to enable safe crossing.
4.4 However, the primary concerns have been raised regarding the operation of the proposed new loading vehicle access and its potential impacts on general traffic and other road users on Matipo Street. These include:
4.4.1 The proposal includes a reduction in the width of the existing turning lanes at the site vehicle access to accommodate the new loading dock design. While the submitted tracking diagrams demonstrate that most private vehicles can operate within the proposed 2.9 m lane width, the manoeuvring by larger service vehicles is expected to create noticeable effects on general traffic along Matipo Street.
4.4.2 The proposed new loading area, measuring approximately 40 m in length and 8.6 m in width, is sufficient to accommodate up to three medium rigid trucks for parking and loading. However, accommodating a 20m+ semi-trailer would experience operational challenges, as it would occupy a significant space of the loading area and is likely to require longer dwell times, which result in potential internal queuing effects.
4.4.3 Matipo Street has been experiencing relatively high traffic volumes, particularly during peak hours. However, as identified in the traffic assessment report, large rigid trucks are likely to encroach into the central flush median and the opposing traffic lane when exiting to Matipo Street.
4.4.4 Therefore, the turning movements associated with vehicles of 20 m or longer are expected to result in noticeable disruption to traffic on Matipo Street.
4.4.5 To address this, a condition has been imposed requiring the applicant to develop a service vehicle operational procedure, with servicing by trucks of 23m or longer restricted to the period between 0600 and 0800, Monday to Sunday when traffic flows on Matipo Street are lower.
4.4.6 The applicant will be responsible for ensuring that potential conflicts and queuing impacts at the site access are minimised and that effects on the surrounding road network are effectively managed.
4.4.7 A section 128 review condition has also been included in the consent to enable Council to monitor operational effects and, if necessary, review the consent conditions to manage safety and efficiency of service vehicle movements on Matipo Street should unanticipated effects arise.
4.4.8 Above conditions can be found at Attachment C – RMA/2025/2721 s127 Decision.
Traffic assessment within the legal road
4.5 As part of seeking Community Board approval and the vehicle crossing permit, the road changes have been confirmed acceptable with the following amendments, as illustrated in the
Attachment A – RMA/2025/2721 Proposed Vehicle Crossing Layout Design:
4.5.1 Increasing the width of the median strips to 1.8m.
4.5.2 Providing diamond markings at the exit points to indicate the Give Way enforcement.
4.5.3 A 2.5m cut-through crossing island to be provided in the median strip.
4.5.4 Tactile surface pavement to be provided for vision-impaired users.
4.5.5 Two Give Way Signs to be provided at the access exit.
4.5.6 All signages and road markings to be compliant with the Traffic Control/Devices Manual.
4.6 The proposed works within the public road corridor, including median island modifications, road markings, pedestrian crossing cut downs, and kerb realignment, will be undertaken within the existing road boundary and will not introduce any additional encroachment into Matipo Street beyond the current context.
4.7 Based on the above assessments, the associated effects of this resource consent application are considered to be manageable, and an exemption for the site access safety audit process has therefore been granted and included in Attachment D – RMA/2025/2721 Site Access Safe System Audit Exemption Form.

This year marked the first time the event was held at the new venue, and early observations indicate that the site functioned effectively for both attendees and participants.
Feedback from stallholders was highly positive. Many fundraising stalls reported higher revenue compared with previous years, and information stalls noted strong engagement from the public throughout the day.
The event included representation from approximately 39 cultural communities, offering a wide range of performances, cuisine, and cultural activities. Following a blessing from Mana Whenua, the Mayor and Councillor Jimmy Chen formally opened the event. Their remarks acknowledged the two community boards that have historically led the event and highlighted the strengthened partnerships with the Christchurch Multicultural Centre and community representatives.
The Bike Valet service experienced steady use, with many attendees opting to cycle. Several visitors also commented that car parking was easier to access than anticipated in the new location.
The event attracted attendance from numerous key community dignitaries, including local government representatives, national government representatives and community leaders reinforcing Culture Galore’s significance as a key celebration of the city’s cultural diversity and community connections.
