4.   Presentation of Petitions Ngā Pākikitanga

4.1

Daniel O’Meara presented a petition regarding ticketed events at Cathedral Square.

 

Whereas Cathedral Square has been hired out to private event organisers on no less than eight occasions since 2023, and

 

Whereas the Christchurch City Council has, in April of 2025, stated their intention to continue hiring out Cathedral Square for concerts and other private, ticketed events, thereby depriving the Christchurch public, at those times, of the right to use their own town square, and

 

Whereas the Christchurch City Council has further stated the intention to rent out Cathedral Square for private use on as many as 120 days in the year, and

 

Whereas these concerts and other private, ticketed events can perfectly well be held in Hagley Park, as they have been in the past,

 

Therefore, we the undersigned, being qualified electors of the city of Christchurch, petition the Christchurch City Council to pass the following resolution:

 

That Cathedral Square shall once more be designated as a space principally for public and civic use; that the Christchurch City Council will cease to hire out Cathedral Square to private organisations for exclusive, ticketed events; that Cathedral Square may not be fenced off or closed to the public except for legitimate construction purposes, for cleaning, or in case of emergency; that, should such an emergency arise, an official public consultation on the measure will be launched either immediately or as soon as practically possible; and that, under ordinary circumstances, Cathedral Square is to be fenced off for cleaning on no more than four days per year, these being weekdays, and the time of closure falling between 10pm and 6am.
