1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval for the planting of new trees within Ridder and Waterloo Reserve in alignment with the attached tree planting plan.

1.2 The report is in response to the adoption of the Urban Forest Plan which seeks to increase canopy cover across the city.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Tree Planting Plans for Ridder and Waterloo Reserves Report.

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

3. Approves the planting of trees within Waterloo Reserve in alignment with the planting plan attached to the report on the meeting agenda as Attachment A.

4. Approves the planting of trees within Ridder Reserve in alignment with the planting plan attached to the report on the meeting agenda as Attachment B.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 The Urban Forest Plan was adopted in 2023 and includes an objective of increasing canopy cover within our parks from 23% to 40% by 2040. To meet this objective, Council has implemented an Urban Forest Tree Planting program.

3.2 As part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program, staff have developed a plan to plant new trees in Ridder and Waterloo Reserve.

3.3 All plantings will follow our general guidelines for planting including the use of recession planes to assist in determining the size and location of trees.

3.4 Two other parks went out for consultation at the same time as Waterloo and Ridder reserve. Lomax and Burmuda reserve have been put on hold while we engage further with the local community to address some feedback.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

Ridder Reserve:

4.1 A planting plan was developed for Ridder Reserve as part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program with an emphasis on increasing canopy cover both within the reserve and within the wider area.

4.2 Ridder Reserve in located in a low canopy area making planting in these areas a priority for Council and the Urban Forest Plan.

4.3 Staff have provided a planting plan that will increase the number of trees within Ridder Reserve by 89 and the canopy cover from the existing 19.5% to 39% once the trees have reached maturity.

4.4 The image below provides an aerial view of the park from aerial imagery captured in 2019 and what the park may look like once the proposed trees reach maturity.

4.5 It should be noted that work has been undertaken in the park including changes to the playground and pathway alignment. All planning for planting within the park is based on its current layout and not that which is shown in the image below.

4.6 Some feedback highlighted a desire to increase the size of the open space, this can be accommodated during planting through closing the spaces between trees. It should also be noted that the trees will be lifted and therefore the open space will essentially be expanded to the base of the tree trunks.

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Waterloo Reserve:

4.7 A planting plan was also developed for Waterloo Reserve as part of the Urban Forest Tree Planting program with an emphasis on increasing canopy cover both within the reserve and within the wider area.

4.8 The planting plan proposes 158 new trees which will increase the canopy cover from 15% to 78% once the trees have reached maturity.

4.9 This is a park that is surrounded by industrial zone and the proposed planting will provide a densely treed area that will weave between the buildings and carparking areas while retaining walk ways and a park like atmosphere.

4.10 Only one submission was received during consultation which felt we got the plan right. More details on consultation can be found in the later section of this report.

4.11

The images below show the proposal for the planting within the park.

4.12 As the feedback on the planting was positive, staff are not proposing any changes to the proposed planting.

Summary of Submissions Ngā Tāpaetanga

6.22 One submission was made by a business who felt we had got the tree planting plan right. They felt that trees with autumn colours and attracting birds and insects were important aspects. They had no concerns about the plan.

6.23 Additional feedback was received:

6.24 “As a business owner in this area where you are wanting to plant more trees, I have no objection to the tree's being planted. I do hope that with the planting of the trees, the pruning and upkeep of them will also become the council responsibility and this will be done on a regular basis or as needed. The council (apparently) do not prune the trees that are on the front berm of the area in Waterloo Road that our business is sighted. These trees need pruning each year and nothing is ever done with them in the 15-20 years that we have been at this sight. My husband is the only one each year that does something about pruning them to keep them at a height the is good so the business signs can been seen. I would like to see the Council take some ownership of pruning these trees in their annual pruning route.”

10. Pedestrian crossing near Yaldhurst Road / Brake Street
Reference Te Tohutoro:	24/2361338
Responsible Officer(s) Te Pou Matua:	Nick Reid, Traffic Engineer
Accountable ELT Member Pouwhakarae:	Brent Smith, Acting General Manager City Infrastructure

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo

1.1 For the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to approve no stopping restrictions on Yaldhurst Road near the intersection with Brake Street.

1.2 This report has been written in response to a safety issue raised through the independent post-construction safety audit undertaken for the safety improvements at Riccarton Road / Waimairi Road / Hansons Lane and surrounding areas. The issue relates to pedestrian sightlines for people looking westward before crossing from the north to the south side of Yaldhurst Road near Brake Street.

1.3 The recommended option is to extend the no stopping restrictions at this location to improve the pedestrian sightlines at this new median island crossing.

2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu

That the Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board:

1. Receives the information in the Pedestrian crossing near Yaldhurst Road / Brake Street Report.

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

4. Approves that in accordance with Clause 7 of the Christchurch City Council Traffic and Parking Bylaw 2017, that the stopping of vehicles be prohibited at any time on the north side of Yaldhurst Road, commencing at a point 23 metres west of its intersection with Brake Street and extending in a westward direction for a distance of 13 metres. This is detailed in Attachment A to the report on the meeting agenda (Plan TG150183, dated 21/03/2025).

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

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Safety improvements were recently completed near the intersection of Brake Street and Yaldhurst Road to improve the safety of all users travelling through the site. As part of the independent post construction safety audit, a minor issue was raised about the pedestrian crossing visibility on Yaldhurst Road at the new median refuge crossing near Brake Street.

3.2 Recommendations in this report will address the concern raised in the post-construction safety audit and provide improved visibility for people crossing Yaldhurst Road near the intersection with Brake Street. This will be achieved by extending the existing no stopping line restrictions.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 As part of the transport project processes at the Council, independent safety audits are completed at various stages, from the design of a scheme through to completion and including the post-construction stage. The post-construction safety audit identified the following issue:

4.1.1 The safety issue is the intervisibility at the newly installed crossing at Brake Street is not adequate between motorists and pedestrians crossing from the northside to the middle of the road. The kerbside parking has not been relocated further from the crossing, and the crossing waiting area has not been extended into the carriageway. The crash type expected is pedestrians to be hit by on coming motorists. The risk factors include: high volume of pedestrians, high volume of motorists (16,930 - MegaMaps), high speeds of motorists (Free flow speed: 44 km/h – MegaMaps).

A car on the road

AI-generated content may be incorrect.

Figure 1: Photo from the safety audit: visibility from the new crossing location

4.2 The safety audit team recommended:

4.2.1 Primary treatment recommendation: provide a raised safety platform for this crossing. Secondary treatment recommendation: increase car parking distance from the crossing to increase intervisibility between pedestrians and motorists.

4.3 Visibility can be limited by parked vehicles on Yaldhurst Road. The parking is unrestricted and therefore vehicles can occupy the space with no time restriction. There are high parking demands in the area due to large number of businesses in the adjacent Brake Street and Church Corner malls area.

4.4 There has been one crash in the last five years (2022) involving a motorist turning right onto Brake Street and another u-turning on Yaldhurst Road. In the preceding five-year period, there were three crashes between motorists turning right out of Brake Street colliding with another road user (motorist serious injury in 2015; cyclist minor injury in 2016; motorist minor injury in 2016).

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 No stopping line restrictions.

4.6.2 Kerb build outs.

4.7 The following options were considered but ruled out:

4.7.1 Do nothing. This option was ruled out as it does not resolve the safety issue.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.8 Preferred Option: No stopping line restrictions.

4.8.1 Option Description: Extend the no stopping restrictions by 13 metres on the north side of Yaldhurst Road.

4.8.2 Option Advantages

· Improves the safety of the crossing by improving the pedestrian crossing sight distance, resolving the concern raised in the post construction safety audit.

· Improves the sightlines for motorists turning right from Brake Street to Yaldhurst Road.

· Low cost.

4.8.3 Option Disadvantages

· Removes two carparks.

4.9 Alternative option: Kerb build outs

4.9.1 Option Description: A small kerb build out on the north side of the street.

4.9.2 Option Advantages

· Retains two carparks as the length of new kerbing would be within the existing extents of no stopping restrictions.

· Achieves sufficient sight distance for people crossing and reduces the width of the live traffic lane they have to cross.

· Co-benefits of slowing the operating speeds of motorists turning left onto Brake Street.

· Improves the safety of the crossing by improving the pedestrian crossing sight distance, resolving the concern raised in the post construction safety audit.

4.9.3 Option Disadvantages

· Cost of ~$30,000, which is a relatively substantial cost when there is an alternative that could achieve the same effect but at a significantly lower cost.

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.8 The adjacent Upper Riccarton Methodist Church are the only adjacent and affected property owners. The church was advised of the recommended option by letter, delivered in person. There was no formal response from the church, however the church representative supported the proposal in person, noting the improvements for pedestrians crossing at this location. They stated they would circulate the letter to the wider congregation and noted that members of the congregation had trouble turning right from Brake Street to Yaldhurst Road, and this proposal would greatly improve sightlines for motorists.

6.9 The Team Leader Parking Compliance supports the preferred option.

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

6.10.1 Waipuna Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.11 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.

6.12 The decision includes minor work which is contained within the roadway.

Climate Change Impact Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro mā te Āhuarangi

6.13 This is a minor proposal that is principally intended to address safety concerns at this location. Due to the minor nature of the works, it is not expected to have any impact towards adaption to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.

7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri

7.1 If approved, no stopping restrictions will be installed by the contractor in the current financial year.

[Notice of an intended motion can be sent via email and include the scanned electronic signature of the mover.]

Once the motion is received and accepted by the Chief Executive, he or she must give members notice in writing of the intended notice of motion at least 2 clear working days before the date of the meeting at which it will be considered.

b. 19.3 Requirement to give notice

A member must give notice to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive, at which it is proposed to consider the motion. The notice is to be signed by not less than one third of the members including vacancies. Notice can be sent via email and include the scanned electronic signatures of members. If the notice of motion is lost, no similar notice of motion which is substantially the same in purpose and effect may be accepted within the next six months.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua

3.1 Under the Local Government Act 2002 (the Act) all local authorities are required to adopt a set of Standing Orders (schedule 7, clause 27(1)). The Act sets out in Schedule 6 the requirements for local authority planning, decision-making and accountability.

3.2 A notice of motion is a motion given in writing by a member in advance of a meeting in accordance with the Council’s Standing Orders.

3.3 There are two provisions within Standing Orders relating to timeframes that a notice of motion is required to be delivered to the Chief Executive:

3.3.1 Provision 22.1 states that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five clear working days before the meeting they are to be considered at.

3.3.2 Provision 19.3, relating to a notice of motion where an elected member wishes to propose a revocation, states that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five working days before the meeting it is to be considered at.

3.4 The Chief Executive has identified that more notices of motion are being submitted and anticipates the volume could increase during an already busy period.

3.5 The current timeframe with five days’ notice does not align with the agenda report deadlines and does not usually allow sufficient time for the matter to be reviewed or for council officer advice to be provided to ensure that it meets the requirements of the Act.

3.6 To address this, it is recommended that Standing Orders 22.1 and 19.3 are amended to require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting at which it is proposed to be considered.

3.7 The recommended amendment includes that the Chief Executive has discretion to consider and accept notices of motion submitted in a shorter timeframe where there is a statutory or legislative timing issue relative to the motion, or the matter can be dealt with sooner if sufficient information is readily available from council officers.

4. Background/Context Te Horopaki

4.1 Under the Act all local authorities are required to adopt a set of Standing Orders (schedule 7, clause 27(1)).

4.2 The Act provides that an amendment to the Council’s Standing Orders requires a vote of not less than 75% of the members present at the meeting (schedule 7, clause 27(3)).

4.3 Council officers are reviewing the Council’s current Standing Orders, to consider matters that have been raised and compiled since Standing Orders were last amended, 2025 governance guidance and model Standing Orders provided by Local Government New Zealand and good practice. Information and opportunities for input regarding this will be provided to the Council and Community Boards in coming months.

4.4 The Act also sets out the obligations of local authorities with regard to the making of decisions (schedule 6).

4.5 The timeframe relating to the submission of notices of motion is a matter that has been raised since Standing Orders were last adopted, with regard to the provision of council officer advice and compliance with the decision-making requirements of the Act.

4.6 The current Standing Orders for Community Boards require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least five clear working days before such meeting.

4.7 At its meeting on 16 April 2025, the Council amended its Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings) to require that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least ten clear working days before such meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive. To ensure consistency across Council, it is preferred that Community Boards align their practice with regard to the 10 clear working day timeframe.

4.8 This Council term, the number of notices of motion has increased and those submitted often require detailed and complex information to be compiled at short notice to try to ensure that the decision is compliant with the Act, Council policy and requirements for decision-making.

4.9 It is currently a busy time for the organisation with work programmes and financial commitments set or under consideration and notices of motion can have an impact on these matters. The current five-day timeframe can cause challenges as they require staff to divert resources away from current work, in order to provide advice to ensure that decision-making requirements are met.

4.10 The five day working period for notices of motion to be submitted can impact on the timeframe elected members have to consider the motion, the information and advice received or for the matter and proposed motion to be visible to the public.

4.11 The number of notices of motion that have been submitted have increased this term. In the 2019 – 2022 term, there were a total of 15 notices of motion submitted and accepted. This term there have been 28 notices of motion submitted so far, with four submitted in the first few months of 2025. To note, these numbers do not include notices of motions that have been submitted but declined by the Chief Executive under the provisions allowed for in Standing Orders.

4.12 In comparison, Auckland Council advised they have a timeframe of 5 clear working days, and have received a total of five notices of motions this term. Wellington City Council’s timeframe is not less than four weeks, and they have received two notices of motions this year.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro

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

4.13.1 Amend Standing Orders, clauses 22.1 and 19.3 as proposed.

4.13.2 Make no changes to Standing Orders.

Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa

4.14 Preferred Option: Amend Standing Orders, clause 22.1 and 19.3.

4.14.1 Option Description: Amend Standing Orders, section 22.1 and 19.3 so that a notice of motion must be delivered to the Chief Executive at least 10 clear working days before the meeting, or a shorter time at the discretion of the Chief Executive.

4.14.2 Option Advantages

· To ensure that any notice of motion considered by the Community Board is received with adequate time to ensure that the requirements for decision-making in the Act are met and that sufficient council officer advice can be provided.

· Manages the impact on existing workloads and work programmes for the organisation.

· Allows for advice to be provided to elected members in a timely manner and if accepted, for the proposed motion to be visible to the public on the Agenda, as opposed to requiring a Supplementary Agenda.

· Provides consistency across Council by aligning the Community Boards practise with the Council’s Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings).

4.14.3 Option Disadvantages

· No disadvantages have been identified. Elected members will still have an opportunity to submit a notice of motion. The Chief Executive, will also have discretion to consider and accept notices of motion submitted outside of the 10 clear working day timeframe where there is a statutory or legislative timing issue relative to the motion, or the matter can be dealt with sooner if sufficient information is readily available from council officers.

4.15 Make no changes to Standing Orders.

4.15.1 Option Description: Make no changes to Standing Orders.

4.15.2 Option Advantages

· There is no change to the current procedure.

4.15.3 Option Disadvantages

· The Chief Executive may decline a notice of motion where the Community Board may not meet the decision-making requirements of the Act, due to having insufficient time to receive and consider officer advice regarding the matter.

· Can impact existing workloads and work programmes as staff prepare advice for the notice of motion.

· Can impact the timeframe elected members have to consider the motion, the information and council officer advice received or for the matter and proposed motion to be visible to the public.

· Is inconsistent with the Council’s Standing Orders (which apply to Council and committee meetings).

Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina

4.16 To enable elected members to consider a motion it is necessary that they receive sufficient comment, information and advice to ensure that consideration and decision making meet the decision-making requirements of the Act.

5. Financial Implications Ngā Hīraunga Rauemi

5.1 There are no costs associated with the recommended amendment to Standing Orders.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro

Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau

6.1 The recommended decision addresses the risk of the Council not complying with the decision-making requirements of the Act. It also reduces the risk that the council officers do not have sufficient time to provide information and advice to enable elected members to consider a matter fully or the public to be aware of the matter and information or advice provided.

Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture

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

6.2.1 Community Boards are able to amend Standing Orders, the Act provides that an amendment to Standing Orders requires a vote of not less than 75% of the members present at the meeting (schedule 7, clause 27(3)).

6.3 Other Legal Implications:

6.3.1 Standing Orders must meet the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002 and the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987.

Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here

6.4 The required decision:

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 nature of the amendment recommended.

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 Governance

6.6.1 Activity: Governance and Decision Making

· Level of Service: 4.1.22 Provide services that ensure all Council, and Committee meetings are held with full statutory compliance - 98% compliance

Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori

6.7 The decision affects all Community Board areas.

6.8 Prior to the Council meeting of 16 April 2025, Community Board Chairs provided feedback that they preferred a ten clear working day timeframe to submit a Notice of Motion. The Council approved this timeframe for Council and committee meetings, instead of the original Officer Recommendation of 15 clear working days.

Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua

6.9 The amendment to Standing Orders 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.

6.10 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

6.11 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 A decision amending the Community Board’s Standing Orders will take immediate affect for its meetings.

3.5 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making

3.5.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan [for items not included in the above table but are included in Community Board Plan]

· Share Kai Riccarton

Oak Development hosted the Share Kai initiative in Riccarton on Friday nights in May. Share Kai is a series of four pop-up community food events that encourage connection. Food was prepared by refugee women from four different countries. It celebrates the diversity of cultures that call Aotearoa and Ōtautahi home through the sharing of food and conversations. Each event proved to be very popular, with tickets selling out.

· Deans Avenue pedestrian improvements

The pedestrian crossing points on Deans Avenue have been installed.

· Community Development Network (CDN) Trust Luncheon

CDN Trust held their annual luncheon thanking supporters and volunteers and celebrating their achievements. During the past year, the Trust made an impressive 21,118 connections involving 1,256 young people and families. This is through a number of initiatives such as 24/7 workers, the Hornby Youth Hangout, Teen and Kids Camps, Big Night Outs and counselling.

3.5.2 Council Engagement and Consultation.

· Wycola Park Consultation – Hornby Schools Engagement

Two productive engagement sessions took place at Hornby High School and Hornby Primary School on 8–9 May, complementing the Kōrero mai. Let’s talk website engagement. Young people shared their views by placing tokens to indicate their level of support—ranging from "do not support" to "support"—while staff also gathered suggestions for potential improvements to strengthen the initiative.

This activity supported the wider consultation on the Wycola Skate Park, which was open from 29 April to 12 May 2025. Feedback from this process is now being reviewed, with a staff report and recommendations expected to be presented to the Community Board in mid-2025.

Early feedback on a Draft Local Alcohol Policy was invited in early March. A Community Workshop was held on 3 March 2025 attended by community and Board members. The discussion at this workshop was used by the Board to inform its responses to the early consultation.

All the early feedback provided as part of this consultation was used to help prepare the Draft Local Alcohol Policy 2025 that went out for consultation in May (closed 18 May). The Board submission is attached (see Attachment D).

· Amyes Road street renewal

The Council is planning a full street renewal for Amyes Road and are asking for feedback to find out if there is anything residents would like improved on the street while the renewal work is being done.

Consultation opened on 22 May and closes on 15 June 2025.

3.6 Governance Advice

3.6.1 Appointment of Board member

Community Board member Gamal Fouda resigned from the Board 31 March 2025. This created an extraordinary vacancy on the Board. Where a vacancy occurs within 12 months of the next triennial local government election, a by-election is not required, and the Board had the option to either leave the vacancy unfilled or appoint a person to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the triennial term.

At its meeting on 10 April 2025 the Board resolved to fill the vacancy on the Board created by the resignation of Gamal Fouda by the appointment of Luke Chandler who was the highest polling unsuccessful candidate for the Riccarton Ward at the 2022 local body elections. The appointment was confirmed at an extraordinary meeting of the Board on 1 May 2025 and Luke Chandler completed his oral and written declaration as a member at the start of the Board meeting on 15 May 2025.

Bryan Henare, local resident addressed the Board regarding Railway Reserve, Templeton. Mr Henare advised that the area is regularly used by locals for walking and picnicking, including the elderly. He suggested that a bench be installed for people to sit on.

Following the presentation the Board requested staff advice on the possible placement of a park bench on the Reserve. Staff have now responded and advised that there are some park seats available and they will contact Mr Henare to discuss a suitable location and aim to install a seat within the next few weeks (see Attachment B).

4.2 Installation of speed limit signage in four Halswell Subdivisions
