Reference Te Tohutoro:	26/340574
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Millie Stead- Community Partnership Ranger
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Andrew Rutledge, General Manager Citizens and Community

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Waimāero Fendalton‑Waimairi‑Harewood Community Board for the proposed bike jump area at Jeffreys Reserve, following completion of the temporary clay bike jump trial.

1.2 The report incorporates new information gathered during the trial period, including site use, user diversity, operational impacts, and community feedback.

1.3 The report summarises the outcomes of the trial.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Jeffreys Reserve Bike Jump Trial and Future Options 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 development of a permanent asphalt bike jump feature at Jeffreys Reserve proceeding to detailed design and construction, subject to the Board approving a grant towards the construction costs from its 2025-26 Discretionary Response Fund at its next meeting.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 At its meeting on 7 May 2025, the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board approved temporary bike jumps at Jeffreys Reserve for a trial period of eight months.

3.2 The clay jump was built on 29 May 2025 with local tamariki.

3.3 Staff have monitored the site to assess usage as well as operational, community and environmental impacts.

3.4 Throughout the trial, the jump area was used and interacted with by a significantly broader range of user groups than initially anticipated, including families, young children on balance bikes, intermediate and teenage riders, and Council’s cycle safety and skills teams.

3.5 The diversity of users demonstrated that the space caters to a wide range of ages and abilities, with natural progression opportunities created by multiple jump sizes, angles and lines.

3.6 Feedback from community engagement before and after the trial indicated overall support for a designated bike jump area at Jeffreys Reserve, while also identifying some concerns relating to safety, amenity and visual impact.

3.7 These insights have informed the staff assessment of the trial and the options presented.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 There is a history of informal bike jump construction in surrounding parks. These have previously resulted in damage to garden beds, noise and safety concerns.

4.2 In response to this and a request by a local parent, a clay bike jump area was established at Jeffreys Reserve in May 2025 for a trial period of 8 months.

4.3 Council staff organised clay for tamariki to build their own jumps and supervised the trial.

4.4 Following construction, staff have monitored the site and engaged with users to understand how the space is being used and whether it is meeting its intended purpose.

4.5 Tamariki remained involved with the trial, advocating for the jumps via public deputation and attending planning and building workshops.

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

Date	Subject
11/09/2023	Public forum by local parent- request for bike jumps.
12/05/2025	Public deputation by Tamariki- support for bike jump trial.
12/05/2025	Public deputation by local parent- support for bike jump trial.
12/05/2025	Public deputation by local resident- opposing bike jump trial.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.7.1 Option 1: Develop a permanent asphalt bike jump feature.

4.7.2 Option 2: Retain the clay bike jumps.

4.7.3 Option 3: Remove clay jumps and end trial.

4.8 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.8.1 Construct a pump track utilising some existing pathways within the reserve. This option was ruled out as the size, scale, and cost did not reflect community views.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8.1 Preferred Option: Develop a permanent asphalt bike jump feature.

4.8.2 Option Description: Remove the existing clay jump and construct an asphalt bike jump feature that reflects the current layout as created by community use and activities observed during the trial.

4.8.3 Option Advantages

· Lower ongoing maintenance requirements and reduced staff time.

· Provides a permanent, durable solution suitable for year‑round use.

· Mimics the current range of jump sizes and lines created by community use and supports different ages and skill levels.

· Visually provides clean lines and precise shapes with an urban aesthetic for neighbours concerned with the look of a dirt jump.

4.8.4 Option Disadvantages

· Higher upfront construction cost.

· A more visually prominent built feature within the reserve.

· Removes the ability for tamariki to shape and modify the jumps themselves.

4.9 Option 2: Retain the clay bike jumps.

4.9.1 Option Description: Continue with the existing clay jump area, adding more clay and rock material for structure and durability.

4.9.2 Option Advantages

· Allows tamariki to shape and interact with the jumps directly.

· Lower initial cost compared to a permanent structure.

4.9.3 Option Disadvantages

· High ongoing maintenance and staff time requirements.

· Ongoing visual and amenity concerns.

4.10 Option 3: Remove clay jumps and end trial.

4.10.1 Option Description: Remove the clay jumps, re-turf the area and end trial.

4.10.2 Option Advantages

· Addresses perceived safety and aesthetic concerns.

4.10.3 Option Disadvantages

· Missed opportunity for youth involvement.

· Informal jump construction may increase.

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.11 Specific location of the bike jumps is limited due to district planning requirements for noise setbacks and flood management. The current location is the only suitable location in the park that complies with district planning requirements.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

Capex/Opex Ngā Utu Whakahaere

	Recommended Option-Asphalt Jump Feature	Option 2 –Retain clay and remediate	Option 3 – Remove clay jumps and end trial
Cost to Implement	$15,500	$1000	$500
Maintenance/Ongoing Costs	Will be absorbed by existing OPEX budgets.	Will be absorbed by existing OPEX budgets.	Will be absorbed by existing OPEX budgets.

Funding Availability	FY27	N/A	N/A
Impact on Rates	No impact	No impact	No impact

5.1 The Parks unit would be able to fund costs associated with design, consenting (if required) and future maintenance of the permanent asphalt option. There is currently no budget to complete the construction of the project. The Community Board may consider funding this portion from their 2025-2026 Discretionary Response Fund.

5.2 The above costs are indicative only. A contingency of 30% has been applied to allow for inflation and the potential for cost increases between the current estimate and construction. Any increase would reflect wider global influences, including fuel supply pressures and increases in construction costs.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 The condition of the clay jumps has varied throughout the course of the trial.

6.2 No additional material was supplied during the trial to get an accurate assessment of how the area would perform with regular use.

6.3 Through monitoring, staff found the clay material is not suitable for long term use at this site due to compaction, erosion and exposure.

6.4 This can be partially mitigated by adding additional clay material, supplemented with stones to improve the structure of the jumps.

6.5 A permanent asphalt feature would significantly reduce maintenance demands. This type of jump could be expanded on in future if so desired by the community.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.6.1 The Community Board has delegation to approve options presented in this report.

6.7 Other Legal Implications:

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 At the August 2025 Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board Information Session/Workshop to brief the Board on the feasible options for Gardiners Road, the Board provided feedback to staff on their preferred options and priority rankings for each section of the corridor.

3.1.1 Staff took the feedback collected at the workshop and revised their programme of works to provide the funding necessary to deliver on the top two options as noted by the Board. These are referred to as:

· Stage 1 – Styx Mill Road – Wilkinsons Road

· Stage 2 – Claridges Road – south of Styx Mill Road

3.2 Two options for each of Stage 1 and Stage 2 have been considered, with a secondary sub-option for lighting on Stage 2:

3.2.1 Stage 1 options are:

· Grit footpath construction, including associated intersection improvements, kerb and channel, signage and line marking as shown on Attachment A.

· Do Nothing

3.2.2 Stage 2 options are:

· Sealed shared path construction, including associated intersection improvements, kerb and channel, signage, and line marking as shown on Attachment B. This would have full street lighting upgrades.

· A further option with the physical layout as shown on Attachment B, but with minimal lighting upgrades.

· Do Nothing

3.3 The recommended options are to install the above improvements [with minimal lighting upgrades for Stage 2] in accordance with Attachments A and B. Key features of these options are:

· Improve walkability through the addition of two sections of footpath along Gardiners Road and one section of pathway along Claridges Road

· Improve safety and amenity through the addition and upgrading of crossings on Styx Mill Road and Claridges Road

3.3.2 Staff have recommended these options as they will help achieve the desired community outcome of expanding on the existing infrastructure by installing a continuous pathway on the eastern side of Gardiners Road from Wilkinsons Road to south of Claridges Road, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, connectivity and amenity.

3.3.3 Full lighting upgrades are not recommended at this time due to the high cost. There are likely to be opportunities to provide road and path lighting to current standards in future when subdivisions are developed.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Scope Development

4.1 At the August 2025 Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board Information Session/Workshop, Council staff presented the feasible options for delivering improvements along Gardiners Road, including rationale, advantages and disadvantages for each option.

4.1.1 The Board members asked questions of staff and provided feedback on which option(s) they preferred, as well as the prioritisation of each section of the corridor.

4.1.2 Staff used the feedback provided by the Board and revised the programme of works to obtain the funding required to deliver on the top two sections of the Gardiners Road corridor.

4.2 The top priority (noted as Stage 2) was for a section of sealed pathway from south of Styx Mill Road to Claridges Road. The second priority (noted as Stage 1) was for a section of grit pathway from Wilkinsons Road to Styx Mill Road.

4.3 The inclusion of the top two sections of Gardiners Road to the capital programme was in response to the lack of connectivity and amenity for active and public modes (e.g., walking and cyclist), and the following objectives were developed:

4.3.1 Additional footpaths and shared paths to increase infrastructure provision

4.3.2 Upgraded intersection crossings to improve safety and amenity

Network Context

4.4 Gardiners Road is classified as a Collector Road.

4.4.1 Traffic volumes are 6050 vehicles per day between Wilkinsons Road and Claridges Road. The posted speed limit is 60 km/h, with the operating speed of 53 km/h.

4.5 Claridges Road is classified as a Collector Road.

4.5.1 Traffic volumes are 910 vehicles per day west of Gardiners Road and 850 vehicles per day east of Gardiners Road. The posted speed limit is 60 km/h, with the operating speed of 47 km/h.

4.6 A tree assessment has been completed during the development of the scheme design. This identified that one street tree may need to be removed to allow this project to progress (see Attachment B). Based on the Councils Tree Policy, two trees would need to be planted to compensate for this. Locations for these new street trees will be determined during detailed design.

Lighting Assessment

4.7 A lighting assessment was completed by Connetics for Stages 1 and 2 to determine what level of lighting upgrades and/or new installations would be required to meet current lighting compliance for both the carriageway and pathways.

4.7.1 The assessment for both stages concluded that upgrades to the existing lighting and new lighting installations (including poles) are required to comply with current standards on Gardiners Road. The existing lighting on Claridges Road is currently compliant and would need no further upgrades.

4.7.2 The assessment also concluded that, if the lighting was to remain on the eastern [path] side of the roadway, the undergrounding of an existing overhead 11kV cable would be required if new lighting was to be installed. The pole infrastructure and cable are owned by Orion, and Connetics have indicated that permissions from Orion would be required to complete these upgrades. There would be no undergrounding required if the upgrades were limited to existing lights.

4.8 Connetics provided an alternate option and high-level costing for lighting the Stage 2 works by installing lighting infrastructure on the western side of the roadway in lieu of the eastern side. This option would still require permissions from Orion to trench for power, but would remove the need to underground the 11kV power cable.

4.8.1 The high-level cost for these works is estimated to be $150,000.

4.9 Council staff have reached out to Orion to query if permissions are likely to be granted for any upgrades to existing and/or installation of new infrastructure.

4.9.1 Orion have indicated that permissions are likely to be granted for upgrades to existing infrastructure on the eastern [path] and/or the installation of new infrastructure on the western side.

4.9.2 However, it is likely that permissions would not be granted for the installation of new infrastructure on the eastern [path] side without the provision for undergrounding.

4.9.3 Council staff queried with Orion the high-level costs for undergrounding the 11kV cable on the eastern [path] side. A response is forthcoming; however, based off a previous estimate from another project the high-level cost for the underground works is estimated to be in the region of $300,000.

4.10 In conjunction with these conversations, staff have investigated several options for each stage around lighting:

4.10.1 Include full lighting upgrades on the eastern side to current standards and the undergrounding of the 11kV cable

4.10.2 Include the installation of new lighting infrastructure on the western side to current standards

4.10.3 Include only the installation of upgrades to the existing lighting on the eastern side, recognising this would be an improvement to the existing but substandard.

4.10.4 Keep the existing lighting configuration in lieu of any upgrades and undergrounding, recognising the current configuration is substandard.

Engagement

4.11 Informed engagement was undertaken with residents to understand their issues and to gather any feedback, which was to be used to determine if the scheme design addresses their concerns and aligns with their views (see Section 6.9-6.11)

4.11.1 No feedback was received.

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

Date	Subject
20 March 2026	Notification of Consultation: Gardiners Road shared path

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.13.1 Preferred Options for Stages 1 and 2 – Footpath/shared path construction, including associated intersection improvements, kerb and channel, signage and line marking as shown in Attachments A and B.

4.13.2 Alternate Option for Stage 2 – Similar to Preferred Option for Stage 2 but with full lighting upgrades on the western side of Gardiners Road as shown in Attachment B.

4.13.3 Do nothing.

4.14 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.14.1 A number of high-level options around scope, construction and priorities were considered and ruled out by the board during a workshop in August 2025. These can be seen in the agenda and minutes of this meeting:

· Agenda: https://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2025/08/ISWF_20250825_AGN_10097_AT.PDF

· Minutes: https://christchurch.infocouncil.biz/Open/2025/08/ISWF_20250825_MIN_10097_AT.PDF

4.14.2 Constructing Stages 1 and 2 after lighting upgrades and undergrounding of 11kV Orion power cable completed.

The works for Stage 1 would likely be completed in tandem with any residential development in this location. Requirements to upgrade the road frontage, including adequate shared path facilities, would be included as part of any consent conditions for future development. This would subsequently eliminate the need for any interim improvements at this location. This option would also delay the implementation of the Stage 2 improvements, which have been identified as the Board’s top priority for this corridor. As a result, this was ruled out as an option.

4.14.3 Constructing Stage 1 with either upgrades to existing lighting and/or fully upgraded lighting and undergrounding of 11kV power cable.

The lighting assessment for the Stage 1 works concluded that lighting on the western side was not possible and that the preferred option was to upgrade the existing lighting, install new lighting and underground the 11kV power cable on the eastern [path] side. The additional costs for this option are disproportionate in line with the costs for the construction of the grit pathway and other associated improvements. In addition, any poles within the limits of Stage 1 would likely be moved and/or removed with future development, thus making these works redundant. Due to the above, this was ruled out as an option.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.15 Preferred Option Stage 1 – Footpath/shared path construction, including associated intersection improvements, kerb and channel, signage and line marking

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 Construction Risks: These are considered Business as Usual (BAU) and can be mitigated by using a qualified and competent contractor to complete the works.

6.2 Safety: Lighting for Stages 1 and 2 have been assessed to be below standard currently.

No lighting upgrades are planned for Stage 1. It is expected that a permanent path, with full lighting upgrades, will be installed when the subdivision is developed. The installation of lighting at this time would therefore be high cost, and it is expected that the developer would need to alter this anyway.

Only minimal lighting upgrades are planned for Stage 2. To install lighting to standard would require undergrounding the existing services, which is high cost. Improvements to the existing can be made, although these are not expected to be fully compliant. Further development is expected along this section in the medium to long term, which may provide opportunities for further improvement.

Therefore the staff recommendation will mean that light levels are below current standards, which may have safety and CPTED implications.

The mitigation is that Council staff will monitor pathway usage post construction, particularly nighttime usage, and staff will log any requests or concerns around the lighting. If it is deemed that any lighting upgrades are warranted, staff will discuss options at the appropriate time.

6.3 Future Development: Staff will continue to communicate with developers on the progress and timing of any future works. Should any upcoming development be cancelled or the timing be delayed beyond what is currently anticipated, Council staff will discuss appropriate options and may seek to include further upgrades to the interim pathway in future programmes/budgets.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.4.1 The Community Boards have delegated authority from Council to exercise the delegations as set out in the Register of Delegations. The list of delegations for the Community Boards includes the resolution of stopping and traffic control devices.

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

6.4.3 Part 1, Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017 provides Council with the authority to install parking or stopping restrictions by resolution.

6.5 Other Legal Implications:

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

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.9 Consultation started on 21 March and ran until 7 April 2026.

6.10 The limited number of affected residents on Gardiners Road were informed about the proposed scheme design via a letter. Residents were provided the details of the project and how to provide feedback.

6.11 No feedback was received. Given the low significance and less than minor impacts of the proposed works, this is in line with the level of responses expected through engagement.

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

6.12.1 Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 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.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.15 The decisions in this report are likely to:

6.15.1 Contribute neutrally to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.

6.15.2 Contribute positively to emissions reductions.

6.15 The proposals in this report are expected to have a relatively small impact on climate change considerations, due to the nature and scope of the project. However, safer footpaths and improved connectivity for residents may encourage more walking and cycling.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Based on community requests, staff are proposing several bus stop upgrades, as listed in Table 1.

Table 1: Proposed bus stop upgrades.

Address and ID	Origin	Upgrades
150 Cavendish Road - 19999	Community	Shelter installation
126 Wairakei Road - 16764	Community	Shelter installation
20 Rossall Street - 16362	Community	Shelter installation
198 Maidstone - 10308	Community	Shelter installation, minor relocation, and line marking
1 Bentley Street - 24268	Community	Minor relocation and line marking
56 Merrin Street - NA	(Multiple) Community	New bus stop

3.2 The proposed plans include seats, tactile pavers, and hardstand areas, where required, to improve accessibility and waiting areas, including for people getting on and off the bus.

3.3 These upgrades have been prioritised based on patronage, special land use (e.g. retirement village), and community requests.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Table 2 shows average boarding patronage per day, the bus routes that are served, and the existing conditions for each bus stop. In this table, standard line marking for a bus stop refers to approximately 12 metres of lead-in no-stopping restriction, a 14 metre bus box, and approximately 6 metres of lead-out no-stopping restriction.

Table 2: Patronage, bus routes, and existing conditions for each bus stop.

Address and ID	Patronage/day	Bus route	Current conditions
150 Cavendish Road - 19999	11	27	Standard line marking, tactile pavers, signage, and a seat
126 Wairakei Road - 16764	32	8	Standard line marking, tactile pavers, signage, and a seat
20 Rossall Street - 16362	29	8	Standard line marking, tactile pavers, signage, and a seat
198 Maidstone Road- 10308	58	3	Bus box marking and signage
1 Bentley Street - 24268	4	140	Signage
56 Merrin Street - NA	NA	130	NA

4.2 Staff have received community requests for shelter installation at the first four bus stops in Table 2.

4.3 A bus stop is deemed well-used if, on average, it serves around 20 or more passengers daily. This is the traditional Council threshold for bus shelter installation.

4.4 Bus stop 19999 outside 150 Cavendish Road does not meet the Council patronage threshold to install a shelter. However, in addition to the patronage threshold, staff also consider requests from elderly individuals, schools, hospitals, retirement villages, and people with disabilities, who are highly reliant on public transport. Staff therefore propose to install a shelter at this bus stop.

4.5 Bus stop 10308 outside 198 Maidstone Road includes an oversized bus box (approximately 17 metres) compared with the standard 14-metre bus box. It also blocks the driveway at 204 Maidstone Road and lacks the required lead-in and lead-out no-stopping restrictions. In addition, the stop lacks a hardstand area, meaning passengers currently step onto the grass berm when boarding or alighting from the bus.

4.6 Bus stop 24268 outside Bentley Street mainly performs as a drop-off bus stop. Staff have received complaints about buses blocking the driveway of 1 Bentley Street. The paired bus stop, 24544 outside 2/2 Bentley Street, has 30 boardings per day, on average.

4.7 Staff have received multiple community requests, including from Summerset at Avonhead Retirement Village, to install a new eastbound bus stop on Merrin Street closer to Avonhead Mall. Currently, passengers use either bus stop 47775 outside 26 Merrin Street (approximately 200 metres away) or bus stop 10349 outside 88 Merrin Street (approximately 250 metres away) and walk to the mall. While these distances meet the NZTA guidance for suburban areas, staff have considered the request due to its origin from elderly community members and a retirement village whose residents are highly reliant on public transport. The preferred location is outside 56 Merrin Street, which is currently a 120-minute parking restriction area.

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 17 February to 10 March 2026. Letters were delivered to the property owners and tenants affected.

6.9 Canterbury Regional Council (CRC) support the proposed upgrades.

6.10 Staff did not receive any submissions regarding the proposed plans for bus stops 16764 outside 126 Wairakei Road, 16362 outside 20 Rossall Street, and 24268 outside 1 Bentley Street on Cutts Road.

6.11 Staff received one submission regarding the proposed plan for bus stop 19999 outside 150 Cavendish Road. The submitter, on behalf of the Summerset on Cavendish Retirement Village, supported the proposed plan:

· “There are 500 people living across the road from the bus stop plus staff. As well as residents some staff would use the bus. Particularly in the winter it is often a very cold wait for the bus to arrive. The village social committee organises mystery bus trips weekly which are well attended. A bus shelter would be like a gift from heaven. A lot of residents in the village either don't have a car or have lost their licence due to old age. …”

6.12 Staff received one objection regarding the plan proposed for bus stop 10308 outside 198 Maidstone Road. In summary, following concerns/recommendations were provided (please see the detailed submission in Attachment B):

6.12.1 Consultation letter, plan, and process: The submitter raised concerns and provided suggestions regarding the detail, clarity, and dimensions shown in the consultation letter and plan. They also raised concerns and suggestions about staff response times and the consultation deadline.

Staff response: Staff advised that the consultation letter and plan follow standard Council practice. Under this approach, the consultation material outlines the main upgrades, while detailed specifications are provided on request to affected residents. Staff also confirmed that the concerns and suggestions have been shared with the relevant teams for future consideration. Staff also extended the consultation deadline (1 week) following an on-site meeting with the affected resident.

6.12.2 Justification for upgrades: The submitter raised concerns that the average number of daily boarding passengers is insufficient to justify installing a shelter. They also noted there is no clear evidence that a shelter would increase patronage. They further stated that the shelter may be underutilised due to social distancing, and that current passengers already use nearby tree cover for shelter. In addition, they suggested that, with reliable real-time information, passengers do not wait long at stops and are exposed to weather while walking, so a shelter may provide limited additional benefit.

Staff response: Staff advised that the use of average patronage is intended to capture broader usage trends over time, rather than a single point measure. More importantly, shelters are primarily provided to improve weather protection and amenity for existing users, rather than to directly attract new patronage. Factors such as reliance on tree cover or assumptions around social distancing are not valid or sufficiently significant to offset the need for formal shelter infrastructure. Furthermore, while real-time information can reduce uncertainty, it does not remove waiting time entirely, and passengers may still be exposed to adverse weather conditions.

6.12.3 Plan details: The submitter also raised detailed questions and suggestions regarding elements of the plan, including the shelter location and type, tactile paving, rubbish bins, etc.

Staff response: Staff responded to each matter in line with best practice and public transport guidelines. They confirmed the shelter size and position, glass type, and bus stop sign location, and advised that a rubbish bin would not be included. Recommendations regarding the shelter rear panel facing the road, the hardstand area, and tactile pavers were not supported, as they do not align with the relevant guidelines. Other suggestions, including those relating to rubbish bins, have been referred to the appropriate team.

6.13 Staff received 2 submissions from affected residents regarding the plan proposed for the new bus stop proposed to be installed outside 56 Merrin Street. In summary, following concerns/recommendations were provided (please see the detailed submissions in Attachment C):

6.13.1 Proximity to roundabout, traffic volume, and queue build up

Staff response: Staff advised that the current legislation permits vehicles to park up to 6 metres from an intersection. Relevant guidance recommends that bus stops be located at least 20 metres from an intersection. The proposed bus stop is positioned approximately 40 metres from the roundabout and therefore exceeds this recommendation. In addition, a 4-metre-wide traffic lane will remain adjacent to the stop, allowing vehicles to pass a stationary bus without interruption to traffic flow.

6.13.2 Safe sight line: The submitter raised concerns that currently, the vehicles parked in the concerned location interrupts the sight line for oncoming traffic views.

Staff response: Staff advised that it is important to note that the proposed bus stop would improve the current conditions. Once installed, the space will remain clear for most hours of the day. Buses will only be present a few times per day and typically for a short duration of around 30 seconds.

6.13.3 Passenger crossing

Staff response: Staff advised that passengers using the proposed stop will access the shopping centre via the pedestrian refuge at the roundabout. This roundabout has undergone safety improvements in recent years, and significant safety risks should have been addressed through those works.

6.13.4 Bus stop interrupting the driveway, timing point

Staff response: Staff advised that the standard bus box length used by Council is 14 metres, in accordance with CCC guidance. This has been standard practice for many years and has worked well in accommodating the range of bus sizes operating in Christchurch. Another important factor is providing sufficient lead-in “no stopping” restriction before the bus box. This ensures buses have enough space to safely pull into the stop and correctly position themselves within the marked bus box. For this reason, we do not see a notable risk of buses blocking nearby driveways. CCC can also raise with CRC that this bus stop should not be used as a timing point.

6.13.5 On-street parking loss

Staff response: Staff advised that the new bus stop will remove 2 kerbside parking spaces. Kerbside space is limited and must be managed to serve all road users, particularly public transport, which is often an essential mode of travel for disabled individuals, older people, and children. It is important to note that the Council’s Suburban Car Parking Policy prioritises kerbside space for bus stops over general parking. In addition, other on-street parking remains available along Merrin Street and Withells Road for residents and visitors.

6.13.6 Existing bus stops

Staff response: Currently, passengers use either bus stop 47775 outside 26 Merrin Street (approximately 200 metres away) or bus stop 10349 outside 88 Merrin Street (approximately 250 metres away) and walk to the mall. While these distances meet the NZTA guidance for suburban areas, staff have considered the request due to its origin from elderly community members and a retirement village whose residents are highly reliant on public transport.

6.13.7 Solution suggested by submitters: Outside 66 Merrin Street

Staff response: Staff advised that the location outside 66 Merrin Street was considered but not assessed as reasonably practicable for the following reasons:

· It is located further from the shopping centre and would require an additional road crossing for passengers. Given that the request originated from elderly members of the community, this was considered a significant factor.

· It would result in the loss of two additional parking spaces compared with the proposed plan.

· It would require the removal of a tree.

6.13.8 The Avonhead mall property management and Piccadilly Bookshop also raised the same concerns on passenger crossing and safe sight lines. Staff provided above answers to them as well.

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

6.14.1 Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board.

6.14.2 Fendalton, Waimairi, and Harewood Wards.

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 these decisions do not specifically impact Mana Whenua, their culture, and traditions.

6.16 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

6.17 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 If the staff recommendations are approved, staff will engage with contractors to proceed with construction.

That the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board Area Report - May 2026.

3. Community Support, Governance and Partnership Activity

3.1 Community Governance Projects

3.1.1 Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Liaison Meeting - April 2026

The April Community Liaison Meeting was hosted by Council staff at the Fendalton Library and Service Centre, with strong attendance from across the network (approximately 20 representatives from community organisations and agencies). It was also positive to have three Waimāero Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board members in attendance, reflecting continued Board support and engagement.

The meeting provided an opportunity to share updates, strengthen relationships, and highlight key initiatives across the community.

Christchurch City Council’s Active Communities Team presented on a range of accessible recreation programmes, including discounted organisation memberships, women-only swim sessions, free swimming for under-5s during term time, and inclusive sensory-friendly activities. An update was also provided on Jellie Park, where essential strengthening works are underway, with staged reopening expected from late 2026.

Neighbourhood Support Christchurch outlined its role in supporting safer, more connected communities through local neighbourhood groups, information sharing, and emergency preparedness.

Upcoming initiatives were noted, including the May 2026 Funding Hui (with both daytime and evening sessions to meet demand), a Cultural Connections Hui planned for July, and a Youth Hui scheduled for September. These initiatives aim to support capability building, strengthen inclusion, and respond to community-identified priorities.

Community organisations also shared updates on local services and programmes, including parenting and budgeting courses, expanded community centre services, and support for migrant communities. A reminder was provided on the importance of maintaining up-to-date information in the Citizens Advice Bureau Community Directory to support effective referrals.

Overall, the meeting reflected a well-connected and collaborative community network, with a continued focus on accessibility, inclusion, and supporting local organisations.

The next meeting is on 10 June 2026.

3.1.2 Nepal Reserve - Community-Led Activation Update

There continues to be strong momentum at Nepal Reserve, led by local residents and supported by Council staff working behind the scenes.

A recent highlight was the City Nature Challenge Bioblitz held on 26 April, organised by community members, including Beaulah Pragg. The event also featured support from Rob Cruickshank (University of Canterbury), an insect specialist who attended to demonstrate techniques for observing and recording insects. The event attracted around 25 participants (including approximately 15 children.

The Bioblitz provided a hands-on opportunity for families to explore local biodiversity as part of a global citizen science initiative. Feedback reflected strong engagement, with one student sharing they “liked seeing all the different plants and insects,” while another highlighted spotting a huhu grub that “just jumped out of the soil.”

A special acknowledgement is extended to Beaulah Pragg, whose leadership has been instrumental in establishing the Friends of Nepal Reserve group and driving ongoing activity in the space.

Council staff have supported the group to build capacity and sustainability, including training a member as a first aider, providing a first aid kit, and supplying volunteer-at-work signage to support safe and visible working bees and events.

The group continues to build momentum, with their third monthly working bee scheduled for Sunday, 3 May, supported by Community Park Ranger Annaliese Caukwell-Mills.

The Parks team has also confirmed upcoming wildflower planting within the reserve. These areas are being prepared to enhance biodiversity, support pollinators such as bees and butterflies, and add seasonal interest, while remaining accessible through mown pathways. While the areas may initially appear bare, planting will establish over winter, with flowering expected through spring and summer. Early community feedback has been positive, with one resident noting the planting “sounds pretty cool and something different.”

Overall, this reflects a strong example of community-led stewardship, supported by Council, resulting in increased activation, environmental enhancement, and community connection within the reserve.

3.1.3 Bryndwr Banter - Update and Latest Edition

The Bryndwr Banter is a collaborative community publication, produced through a partnership between local community groups and central and local government organisations.

Following a review earlier this year and feedback from the Burnside Bryndwr Community Network engagement project last winter, the working group agreed to increase the publication from 8 to 12 pages. This will also allow the inclusion of a community directory.

Feedback highlighted that the Bryndwr Banter is highly valued for its consistency, accessibility, and role as a trusted source of local information, with residents also requesting more community stories and local content.

The group considered a range of options to create more space for community content, including separating the directory. It was ultimately agreed that increasing the publication size was the most effective approach while maintaining its current format.

The Bryndwr Banter will continue to be published three times per year (Autumn, Winter, and Spring/Summer).

A key longer-term action is identifying a community volunteer(s) to take on editorial responsibilities in future editions.

The latest edition is currently being delivered to 3,000 residents in Bryndwr and can be viewed here.

3.1.4 ANZAC Day Service - Harewood

This year’s ANZAC Day service at the Harewood Cenotaph drew an estimated 400-450 people, a strong and diverse gathering that reflected the enduring significance of remembrance within our community.

The service was led by Rev. Joe Keighley from the Burnside Harewood Anglican Parish and Rev. Rob Thomson, chaplain in the Royal NZ Navy Volunteer Reserves. Air Training Corps 17 Squadron provided the honour guard and supported the formal elements of the morning, while the Harewood Primary school helped with arrangements and the hospitality following the gathering.

Harewood School’s kapa haka offered waiata and a haka, which was appreciated by those gathered. We were also fortunate to have RNZNR Lieutenant Rebecca Nelson sing Whakaaria Mai, a contribution that added depth to the service.

Overall, it was a well-supported and meaningful commemoration, marked by a steady sense of respect and shared remembrance. The growing numbers of attendees show that our community continues to value both what this day represents and the unity that we embody in our coming together.

Lest We Forget.

3.2.3 Better-Off Fund Report Back – Nomads United AFC

On behalf of our entire club community, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the CCC Better Off Fund for their incredible financial support, which made our clubroom bathroom renovations possible.

The clubroom bathrooms had not been updated since the original construction of the facility in the 1970s. Thanks to your generous contribution, we have finally been able to bring them into the modern era - creating clean, accessible, and functional spaces that are a huge improvement for everyone who uses them. The upgrades also include water-saving and energy-efficient features, making the facilities more sustainable for the future.

This renovation has made an enormous difference, not only to our club members but also to the wider community who visit our clubrooms each week for games, trainings, and social gatherings. It has enhanced the comfort and experience of all who walk through our doors.

We’re also proud to share that much of the renovation work was carried out by local tradespeople who are also members of our football club. Being able to support local talent within our community added an extra layer of meaning to the project and helped strengthen the bond we share as a club.

Once again, thank you to the CCC Better Off Fund for your belief in community sport and for helping us create a facility we can all be proud of for many years to come.
