CONFIRMED THIS 14th DAY OF NOVEMBER 2024

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is for the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board to approve three proposed laneway names for the Performing Arts Precinct development in the centre of Christchurch.
1.2 The report is staff-generated and results from the development of the new Court Theatre and surrounding public realm works, approved under the Outline Plan.
2. Officer Recommendations Ngā Tūtohu
That the Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:
1. Receives the information in the Proposed Laneway Names - Performing Arts Precinct Laneways 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 following new lane names for 121-123 Gloucester Street:
a. “Pīpīwharauroa Lane” (for the North Lane out to Armagh Street)
b. “Pihipihi Lane” (for the West Lane out to Colombo Street)
c. “Kārearea Lane” (for the South Lane out to Gloucester Street)
3. Detail Te Whakamahuki
Introduction Te Whakatkinga
3.1 The Performing Arts Precinct is a Christchurch City Council project, identified in the post-earthquake Blueprint. Located in the centre of Christchurch, the block is bordered by Armagh Street to the North, New Regent Street to the East, Gloucester Street to the South and Colombo Street to the West.
3.2 Originally, the public realm and landscaping for the Precinct was designed with the Court Theatre and surrounding developments in mind. Subsequently, Council decided to delay a portion of the public realm work, until such time as the remaining projects within the Precinct are further advanced. These projects include the lot at 128 Armagh Street (next to the Crowne Plaza Hotel) which is under negotiation as a building development for the Christchurch School of Music, and 129 Gloucester Street (next to the Isaac Theatre Royal) which is due to be considered in the coming months, for transitional uses.
3.3 Along with completion of the Court Theatre, the areas immediately surrounding the new building will be landscaped and this work is included in the scope of the main contractor.
3.4 The Performing Arts Precinct comprises three laneways – two new and one existing (that being the lane alongside The Piano – Pīpīwharauroa).
3.5 A lane naming request is submitted by the Court Theatre Project Steering Group for the three laneways surrounding the development. A preferred name and alternative names have been put forward for each laneway.
3.6 The recommendations are consistent with the Cultural Design Report prepared by Matapopore / Te Ngāi Tūāhuriri Rūnanga for the Performing Arts Precinct development. Flight and the migration paths of our many indigenous Manu form a central part of the cultural design approach in the Performing Arts Precinct. An aspiration is that the precinct activity encourages birdlife at its heart, through the thoughtful choice of flowering and fruiting trees that provide sustenance for birds. Refer Attachment A.
3.7 The recommended 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.
3.8 The recommended laneway names have been checked against the Council’s Naming Policy dated 15 November 2023 and are consistent with this policy, (section 9.1). The laneways are service lanes, will be used for location finding purposes, and will be a public walkway. For these reasons, they require a name. Refer Attachment B and C.
3.9 The recommended laneway names have also been checked against the Australia and New Zealand Standard AS/NZA 4819:2011 Rural and Urban Addressing. The names are consistent with the Standard.
3.10 Consultation has been undertaken with Land Information New Zealand, who have raised no concerns with the proposed laneway names.
3.11 Consultation has been undertaken with the Court Theatre who support the recommendations in this report.
3.12 The names requested have been accompanied by an explanation of the background of the names, which is summarised below, along with correspondence with the applicant.
3.13 Once the boundaries of the Court Theatre and the lanes have been confirmed, the Council Property team will create subdivisions that puts each development into its own lot/title.
3.14 The central courtyard and laneways will be a single fee simple title. This is due to the primary purpose being a public space and for service vehicles only.
3.15 The laneways will be owned by Christchurch City Council and the responsibility for maintenance and management will be an internal responsibility.
3.16 It has been agreed that the hard surfaces like paving, will be maintained by Transport, the plantings will be maintained by Parks and the buildings will be maintained by Facilities and Property.
Assessment of Significance and Engagement Te Aromatawai Whakahirahira
3.17 The decisions in this report are assessed as low significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy.
3.18 The level of significance was determined by the number of people affected and/or with an interest.
3.19 Council’s Principal Advisor Treaty Relationships has been consulted and supports the suitability of the proposed Te Reo Māori names as set out below.
3.20 Due to the assessment of low significance, no further community engagement and consultation is required.
3.21 The proposed roads are shown below and visually shown in Attachment D.
3.22 The names chosen are birds native to New Zealand, a theme which is clearly identified in the Cultural Narrative, prepared by Matapopore, for the project. Refer Attachment A.
3.23 In Te Ao Māori, our native birds are messengers to the gods, have a close rapport with celestial realms, delight us with their song and aerial feats and inspire creative art forms. This is not dissimilar to what the Performing Arts Precinct hopes to do when entertaining their patrons.
3.24 The term ‘rangi’ used throughout the Cultural Narrative, refers to the songs and oratory of our songbirds or ‘manu tīoriori’ - both the feathered and humankinds. This is important to consider when thinking about the naming of laneways in the public realm, where a cacophony of sound will compete for our attention.
3.25 South Lane – Preferred name: Kārearea Lane
Kārearea is the name of the New Zealand Falcon, one of our most spectacular birds and is the country’s most threatened birds of prey.
3.26 North Lane – Preferred name: Pīpīwharauroa Lane.
Pīpīwharauroa is the Maori name for the Shining Cuckoo. This is a logical name for the laneway as Pīpīwharauroa is also the building name for the adjacent ‘Piano’ performing arts venue, therefore Pīpīwharauroa Lane is recommended.
3.27 West Lane – Preferred name: Pihipihi Lane.
Pihipihi is a small, common green bird with a conspicuous white eye ring. It is known more commonly as the Silvereye. The cultural narrative makes reference to bringing birds back into the central city, providing environments for birds like Pihipihi to thrive.
Alternative Names
3.28 The alternative names offered are also names of New Zealand birds. The project considered options for Māori playwrights who have contributed to New Zealand theatre, but the clear preference from the Court Theatre was to adopt the recommendations in the Cultural Design Report (birds).

1. Purpose and Origin of the Report Te Pūtake Pūrongo
1.1 The purpose of this report is to seek approval from the Community Board for the recommended solution for Cranford Street between Innes Road and Berwick Street.
1.2 The report is prepared by Council staff.
1.3 It is to fulfill the Notice of Requirement (NoR) conditions (Attachment A) related to the opening of the Christchurch Northern Corridor (CNC).
1.3.1 The NoR lays out Council’s legal obligations, specifically related to the avoidance, remedy or mitigation of any adverse traffic effects in local streets, resulting from the opening of the CNC.
1.3.2 The Council is required to monitor traffic on affected streets. Where traffic increases by more than 30% as a result of the opening of the CNC, measures to mitigate the impacts by improving the operation of Cranford / Sherborne Streets, or implementing traffic calming measures must be considered.
1.3.3 These obligations remain in effect for the Commissioning Period, nominally ten years from the CNC's opening in December 2020.

3. Executive Summary Te Whakarāpopoto Matua
3.1 The Notice of Requirement (See Attachment A) lays out Council’s obligations to address traffic impacts for the Commissioning Period (nominally ten years following the CNC’s opening in December 2020).
3.1.1 This includes monitoring traffic in the affected area, to identify streets where traffic volumes have increased more than 30% above the traffic level that would have occurred without the operation of the CNC.
3.1.2 In the event of this, measures must be taken to mitigate the effects from the increases in traffic. These are specified as “improv[ing] the operation of Cranford Street and Sherborne Street and/or calming work” to the affected streets.
3.1.3 The NoR specifically recommended peak-hour clearways as a possible intervention to improve traffic flow on Cranford and Sherborne Streets.
3.2 The Downstream Effects Management Plan (DEMP) was written by the independent traffic engineer, and defines the affected area and monitoring regime, and proposed ways to reduce the effects based on traffic modelling.
3.2.1 This document proposed a number of preventative measures to reduce the effects. Many of these were installed in advance of the CNC opening: e.g. upgrades to intersections and Cranford Street.
3.2.2 The document also recommended peak-hour clearways or high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes.
3.3 In the 2018 consultation, 65% (263) of submitters supported the clearway proposal. However, a subsequent consultation in 2019 revealed opposition from the local community and key stakeholders.
3.4 In November 2020 the Council resolved (CNCL/2020/00148) to trial special-purpose bus priority lanes on Cranford Street for three months starting in February 2021 following the CNC's opening.
3.4.1 The bus lanes were installed on Cranford Street between Innes Road and Berwick Street on 26 February 2021, with the trial extended multiple times, now set to conclude in March 2025.
3.5 A permanent solution needs to be provided on Cranford Street between Innes Road and Berwick Street as the bus lane trial is a temporary solution. Following investigations, five potential long-term solutions were considered, and three options were publicly consulted between 29 July and 26 August 2024:
3.5.1 Option 1 - Bus Lane
3.5.2 Option 2 – Clearway
3.5.3 Option 3 - T2 Lane
3.6 The public submissions and organisation and business submissions have been summarised in Attachment G.
3.6.1 The consultation received 629 submissions from the public, three organisations did not give a preference.
3.6.2 Submissions showed the following preferences:
· 49% (300) of submitters’ first preference is Option 2 - Clearway
· 43% (262) of submitters’ first preference is Option 1 - Bus Lane
· 10% (64) of submitters’ first preference is Option 3 - T2 Lane
3.7 The recommended option for approval is Option 2 – Clearway
3.7.1 This best meets Council’s obligations under the NoR
3.7.2 This was the recommended option within the DEMP
3.7.3 This aligns best with public feedback through the consultation
3.8 The Independent Traffic Engineer, as required by the NoR, has reviewed the recommended option and provided a positive endorsement (Attachment L).
4. Background/Context Te Horopaki
4.1 The Notice of Requirement lays out Council’s obligations to manage the effects of increased traffic area. This includes:
4.1.1 Appointing an independent traffic engineer to identify the affected area, develop a monitoring plan, and recommend measures to “avoid, remedy or mitigate the effects”.
4.1.2 Monitor traffic within the affected area for the Commissioning Period (which it defines as at least 10 years from the opening of the CNC)
4.1.3 Where traffic volumes exceed 30% above that which would have been expected without the opening of the CNC, “measures to improve the operation of Cranford Street and Sherborne Street and/or calming work will be undertaken by the Council as recommended”.
4.2 The independent traffic engineer produced the Downstream Effects Management Plan (DEMP). This fulfilled the criteria laid down in 4.1.1, and was consulted on multiple times during development and approval.
4.2.1 Many of the recommended projects within the DEMP were also consulted on individually, and were installed ahead of the opening of the CNC.
4.3 Please refer to Attachment M for more detailed background information on the decision-making process and the operation of Cranford Street since the opening of the CNC.

Options Considered Ngā Kōwhiringa Whaiwhakaaro
4.5 The following reasonably practicable options were considered and are assessed in this report:
4.5.1 Option 1 - Peak-hour Bus Lane.
4.5.2 Option 2 - Peak-hour Clearway.
4.5.3 Option 3 - Peak-hour T2 Lane.
4.6 The following options were considered but ruled out:
4.6.1 Option 4 - Peak-hour T2 extension from motorway to Berwick Street. This option was a joint study with NZTA to investigate extending the existing T2 lane from where it ends north of the Cranford Street Roundabout to Berwick Street. It was ruled out at this stage due to the following reasons:
· Significant collaboration is required between the Council and NZTA for T2 lane management and enforcement, with timing and certainty not yet established.
· To provide a more consistent journey, the existing T2 lane on the motorway may need to be shifted from the right-hand side to the left-hand side. This would avoid the need for vehicles to switch lanes on the Innes-to-Berwick section.
· There would need to be mitigations developed for potential merging/diverging issues at the motorway on/off ramps if the T2 lane is shifted.
· Due to the longer modelled delay to single occupancy vehicles (SOVs) on Cranford Street, it is thought that many SOVs may re-route via QEII Drive, Innes Road or Westminster Street, increasing local road traffic. This would run counter to the objectives of the NoR.
4.6.2 Option 5 - Urban arterial. This option involved a single traffic lane, cycle lanes, and parking on both sides of the road, with a flush median in the middle. It was ruled out as it does not provide additional capacity at peak times so does not align well with the NoR and DEMP, and due to a lack of stakeholder support.
Options Descriptions Ngā Kōwhiringa
4.7 Preferred Option: Option 2 – Peak-hour Clearway
4.7.1 Option Description: This option creates a second lane (clearway) for all vehicles during peak hours on Cranford Street between Innes Road and Berwick Street, with two southbound lanes from 7 AM to 9 AM and two northbound lanes from 4 PM to 6 PM. Outside of these hours, the clearways will revert to parking with spaces for cyclists.
4.7.2 Option Advantages
· Effectively doubles peak-hour capacity on Cranford Street, reducing congestion and delays for all traffic.
· Best meets the NoR conditions, which recommend improving the operation of Cranford Street to mitigate the downstream effects.
4.7.3 Option Disadvantages
· On-road cyclists must share the lane with general traffic during peak hours.
· The higher capacity provides no incentive for mode change and could indirectly result in more trips being made in SOVs.
· The reduction in delays may potentially encourage traffic that currently diverts to other routes or local roads to remain on Cranford Street. While this aligns with the objectives of the NoR conditions, it may not meet the concerns of some local residents.
· The option will mean that when buses use the stops on this section of Cranford Street, it acts as a barrier to traffic. There is an additional in-lane bus stop near Malvern Street on either side of Cranford Street, in addition to the two existing in-lane bus stops between Innes Road and Berwick Street.
4.8 Alternative Option: Option 1 – Peak-hour Bus Lane
4.8.1 Option Description: The option maintains the current bus lane layout with improvements, including extending the southbound merge lane south of Innes Road. This option involves a 365m southbound bus lane from 7 AM to 9 AM and a 320m northbound bus lane from 4 PM to 6 PM. Outside peak hours, the bus lanes will revert to parking with cycle lanes.
4.8.2 Option Advantages
· Provides travel time benefits for buses during peak hours.
· Offers a safe space for cyclists to share with buses during peak hours.
· Could encourage mode shift to public transport and reduce SOVS use in the future.
4.8.3 Option Disadvantages
· Traffic modelling shows it causes longer delays for non-bus vehicles.
· Restricts Cranford Street south of Innes Road to a single lane for general traffic, which could lead to increased rat-running on the local road network if traffic volumes on Cranford Street continue to rise in the future.
4.9 Alternative Option: Option 3 – Peak-hour T2 Lane
4.9.1 Option Description: This option converts the peak-hour bus lanes into T2 lanes, allowing buses and vehicles with two or more people, including the driver, to use the lane during peak hours.
4.9.2 Option Advantages
· Provides travel time savings for high-occupancy vehicles (HOVs), encouraging ridesharing and potentially reducing overall traffic long-term.
· Flexible for travel demand management, with the option to convert to T3 (vehicles with three or more people) lanes in the future if desired.
4.9.3 Option Disadvantages
· On-road cyclists must share the lane with HOVs and buses during peak hours.
· The option will mean that when buses use the stops on this section of Cranford Street, it acts as a barrier to traffic using the T2 lane. The option will add an additional in-lane bus stop near Malvern Street on either side of Cranford Street, in addition to the two existing in-lane bus stops between Innes Road and Berwick Street.
· The enforcement requires specialist technology and processes which will be new to Council. These are used in Auckland so staff are confident that the supply chain and regulatory framework can support this approach, but it may take time to fully implement.
· Confusion may arise due to the CNC motorway's T2 lane being on the right side, while Cranford Street’s T2 lane would be on the left, requiring lane shifts that could lead to unintended violations.
Analysis Criteria Ngā Paearu Wetekina
4.10 A Multi-Criteria Assessment (MCA) was used to evaluate the options based on four high-level criteria: strategic function, local function, road safety, and travel time (See Attachment D for the Options Assessment Report).
4.11 Applying different weightings to the criteria resulted in varied outcomes. Sensitivity testing shows that if greater emphasis is placed on travel time, as required by the NoR conditions, the T2 lane would be the preferred option. However, due to the technical challenges of implementing the T2 lane, the Clearway option is recommended as the preferred option.
4.12 The performance of the options, including travel time and traffic volume, has been assessed using the Paramics microsimulation traffic model (See Attachment E for the traffic model report).
4.13 Table 1 below shows the average travel time for different types of vehicles on Cranford Street between the Cranford Street Roundabout and Berwick Street in 2028. The results indicate:
4.13.1 The Bus Lane option provides a 48-second advantage for buses over other vehicles. However, bus travel times are similar across the options.
4.13.2 The Clearway option improves travel times for all vehicles, though bus travel times are 18 seconds longer than for general traffic.
4.13.3 The T2 Lane option offers better travel times for HOVs compared to SOVs and provides moderate travel times for buses.

Table 1. Vehicle Travel Times in 2028 (origin from Table 8 of Attachment E)
4.14 The traffic modelling also shows that different options will lead to changes in traffic volume on Cranford Street. The travel time savings for the Clearway and T2 Lane options are likely to encourage traffic that currently diverts to other routes or local roads to remain on Cranford Street. This aligns with the objectives of the Notice of Requirement (NoR) conditions.
Table 2. AM Peak Hour Vehicle Southbound on Cranford Street in 2028 (origin from Table 12 in Attachment E)
4.15 A Safe System Audit (SSA) was conducted for the existing conditions and proposed design options (Attachment F). Table 3 below presents the scores (higher scores indicate worse safety outcomes).
Option |
Score |
Existing layout |
192 / 448 |
Design Option 1 – Bus Lane |

Design Option 2 – Clearway |
220 / 448 |
Design Option 3 – T2 Lane |
232 / 448 |
Table 3. Safe System Assessment Score Summary
4.15.1 The SSA indicates that the Bus Lane option has lower kerbside lane exposure than the Clearway or T2 Lane options, offering a slightly safer environment for cyclists and motorcyclists. The Clearway option has the highest exposure, presenting a slightly higher risk for these users compared to the T2 lane. However, given the part-time nature and low overall numbers, the difference in risk is minimal.
4.15.2 Both the Bus Lane and T2 Lane options include a northbound merge before the pedestrian crossing at English Park, increasing pedestrian risk for these options.
Other Improvements Apply to All Options.
4.16 Six additional parking spaces will be provided under all options:
4.16.1 Four parking spaces will be added on the west side of Cranford Street north of the Cranford/Westminster intersection, and four spaces on the east side south of the intersection, due to the extension of the priority lanes.
4.16.2 Two P60 parking spaces outside No.145 Cranford Street will be removed to address safety concerns regarding the northbound merge near the English Park crossing. This change will create a permanent two-lane northbound traffic flow from Berwick Street to Westminster Street for all options.
4.16.3 There will be no changes to parking outside businesses on Cranford Street.
4.17 High-friction coloured road surfacing will be applied to traffic lanes approaching the Cranford/Westminster intersection and the English Park crossing to improve pedestrian safety by enhancing driver alertness and reducing stopping distances in emergencies.

6. Considerations Ngā Whai Whakaaro
Risks and Mitigations Ngā Mōrearea me ngā Whakamātautau
6.1 The scope of the DEMP and associated consultation was in line with the project’s designation and NoR conditions. It does not further address broader issues such as strategies to reduce travel demand or increase public transport usage.
6.2 It is acknowledged that the CNC motorway was not supported by the local community. Therefore, there is a risk that the preferred option for improving the operation of Cranford Street, as required by the NoR conditions, may not align with the views of some local residents.
6.3 There is a risk that the alternative options may not result in a significant difference in travel times between modes, which could fail to encourage a mode shift. This may not sufficiently address traffic volume concerns or improve operations on Cranford Street and Sherborne Street. As traffic increases on Cranford Street, congestion or diversion to other routes or local roads could occur, potentially requiring extensive traffic calming measures, as mandated by the NoR conditions.
Legal Considerations Ngā Hīraunga ā-Ture
6.4 Statutory and/or delegated authority to undertake proposals in the report:
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.
6.5 Other Legal Implications:
6.5.1 Breaching the NoR conditions constitutes a breach of the Resource Management Act.
Strategy and Policy Considerations Te Whai Kaupapa here
6.6 The required decisions:
6.6.1 Align with the Christchurch City Council’s Strategic Framework.
6.6.2 Are assessed as medium significance based on the Christchurch City Council’s Significance and Engagement Policy. The level of significance was determined by the large amount of community interest in the project and the number of people affected by the changes.
6.6.3 Are consistent with Council’s Plans and Policies.
6.7 This report supports the Council's Long Term Plan (2024 - 2034):
6.7.1 While this project does not directly contribute towards any Levels of Service, it ensures Council can meet its legal obligations under the Resource Management Act.
6.7.2 Depending on the options selected, this project could indirectly contribute towards a number of levels of service, for example:
· Maintain the perception (resident satisfaction) that Christchurch is a walking friendly city (16.0.10)
· Reduce the number of death and serious injury crashes on the local road network (DIA 1) (10.0.6.1)
· Increase the share of non-car modes in daily trips (10.0.2)
· Increase the infrastructure provision for active and public modes (10.5.42)
· Improve customer satisfaction with public transport facilities (quality of bus stops and bus priority measures) (10.4.4)
Community Impacts and Views Ngā Mariu ā-Hāpori
Public Consultation Te Tukanga Kōrerorero
6.8 Early engagement with key stakeholders started in January 2024.These included:
6.8.1 Environment Canterbury
6.8.2 Fire and Emergency New Zealand
6.8.3 New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi
6.8.4 St Albans Residents’ Association
6.8.5 Hato Hone St Johns
6.8.6 Waimakariri District Council and,
6.8.7 St Albans School
6.9 At early stakeholder meetings, staff shared the draft plans and options for the Cranford Street peak-hour lanes and answered questions. Staff also asked for stakeholders to comment on their priority for Cranford Street and their day-to-day operations.
6.9.1 NZTA commented that, as an arterial road that connects a state highway to Central Christchurch, their priority for Cranford Street is to provide safe and efficient access for people in the community and those traveling through the area and that a T2 lane would be the most effective way to achieve this outcome.
6.9.2 Environment Canterbury commented that Cranford Street should operate as a public transport route, providing facilities to achieve a consistent and efficient route for buses. They also commented that their priority is to increase the level of service to meet rising demand for buses.
6.9.3 Waimakariri District Council commented that the number of Waimakariri residents using the park and ride facilities in Kaiapoi and Rangiora has increased significantly, prompting Waimakariri Council to look at expanding capacity. Maintaining and future proofing public transport and the number of services between Christchurch and Waimakariri was a priority and while a T2 lane would be an effective way to achieve this, it would require enforcement.
6.9.4 Fire and Emergency New Zealand commented that Cranford Street is not high priority because of Redwood Station. However, they asked that options that create barriers for emergency vehicles getting to Innes Road or along the CNC,are not considered.
6.9.5 Hato Hone St Johns commented that Cranford Street was their main arterial route to connect Rangiora and Kaikoura to Christchurch’s hospitals. Their priority was for their vehicles to be able to travel effectively and efficiently. They requested that we prioritise options that keep traffic flowing.
6.9.6 St Albans Residents’ Association commented that slow speeds and safety were their highest priority. Safety of children, specifically at Westminster / Cranford Street intersection, was a main priority and any option that reduces safety would not be supported by them. It was asked if a Barnes Dance crossing could be considered by staff for the intersection. There were also strong views that any option that would increase the number of vehicles travelling along Cranford Street would not be supported by them.
6.9.7 St Albans School commented that the safety of students is their highest priority, and it would be ideal if, on top of the safety measures proposed, a Barnes Dance crossing could be considered for Westminster / Cranford intersection.
6.10 Public consultation started on 29 July and ran until 26 August 2024.
6.10.1 An email was sent to 98 key stakeholders, including local schools, businesses, organisations, bus operators, and community advocacy groups.
6.10.2 562 previous submitters on projects in the DEMP area were emailed.
6.10.3 A leaflet advertising the consultation was distributed to 195 directly affected residents along Cranford Street from Berwick Street to Innes Road, Mairehau Library and to community organisations and local schools to distribute to their communities.
6.10.4 Consultation documents and feedback forms were available in Papanui Library, Shirley Library and St Albans Community Centre.
6.10.5 The consultation was posted on the council Facebook page as well as St Albans and Mairehau community pages, inviting submissions on the Kōrero mai / Let’s talk webpage - https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/Cranford.
6.10.6 A public webinar on 7 August 2024, had 11 attendees. The recording of the webinar was uploaded to YouTube and has been viewed 175 times to date - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHl3MYor2Ow
6.11 Submissions were made by 17 recognised organisations and businesses and 612 individuals. A full table of submission can be found in Attachment G, H, I, J and K.
6.12 A quick poll was conducted along side the online survey which showed 50% (420) of people preferred the clearway, 40% (330) of people preferred the bus lane and 10% (85) of people preferred the T2 lane.
6.13 Of the 629 submissions, the clearway was highest ranked in terms of first preference. 300 (48%) submitters ranked clearway as their first preference, bus lane was second in ranking with 262 (42%) submitters, T2 lane had the lowest ranking with 64 (10%) submitters. Three organisations did not provide a preference.
6.14 The submitter ranking of options shows the number of submitters who ranked the options 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Interestingly, while T2 lane was the lowest ranked in terms of first preference, the number of submitters ranking it second (423, 69%) was significantly higher than clearway and bus lane’s 1st and 2nd ranking combined. A small number of submitters ranked clearway (90, 15%) and bus lane (93, 15%) second. Submitters were more split between their first and last preference, with 262 (43%) submitters ranking bus lane last, 222 (36%) submitters ranking clearway last and 122 (20%) submitters ranking T2 last. This trend was consistent across submitter profiles.
6.15 To find out more detail about these results, please refer to Attachment G.
6.16 The decision affects the following wards/Community Board areas:
6.16.1 Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board.
Impact on Mana Whenua Ngā Whai Take Mana Whenua
6.17 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.
6.18 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
6.19 The decisions in this report are likely to:
6.19.1 Contribute neutral to adaptation to the impacts of climate change.
6.19.2 Contribute neutral to emissions reductions.
6.15 The proposals in this report are unlikely to contribute significantly to adaptation to the impacts of climate change or emissions reductions.
6.16 Traffic modelling indicates that due to the short length of the priority lanes and their limited operating hours, these options do not result in substantial differences in travel times or traffic volumes that would lead to significant emissions reductions. As a result, the differences in emissions between these options are generally negligible.
7. Next Steps Ngā Mahinga ā-muri
7.1 Staff to commence the detailed design of the approved option.
7.2 The construction is anticipated to begin in early 2025.

Canterbury Anniversary Day - Friday
15 November 2024 is Canterbury Anniversary Day. The public holiday was
originally held on or around 15 December, the anniversary day of the old
Canterbury province marking the arrival of the First Four Ships.
It was moved to the Friday of Show Week sometime between 1955 and 1958.
The Friday had been People’s Day at the Show for years, but the change
offered the additional bonus of an official holiday for banks and businesses.
3.5 Participation in and Contribution to Decision Making
3.5.1 Report back on other Activities contributing to Community Board Plan
· Community Service Awards 2024
Despite moving to Wellington, Ian Wells was recognised with a Waipapa Papanui-Innes-Central Community Service Award for his work as a cycling advocate in Christchurch.

· Rehua Marae – Powhiri and Liaison of the Boards
On 4 October 2024 the Board, local staff and representatives of the
Rata Foundation were welcomed onto Rehua Marae by the Marae Board. The powhiri

further developed, and for a tour of the Marae’s grounds, and explanation
of its origins to conclude the visit.
· Free Theatre Christchurch
The Board with its Better Off Fund supported the Free Theatre
Christchurch with its theatre installation and refurbishment in The Pumphouse.
The funding has been put to good use upgrading their lighting desk as shown, and contributing to construction costs, ultimately enabling The Pumphouse to serve as the site for their productions, such as that shown in the photos from ‘The Deadbeat Opera’, which ran 6-21 September 2024 in the space.
Free Theatre Christchurch (est. 1979) is an interdisciplinary
performance laboratory where artists work together to create innovative, high
quality contemporary performance.
· Harewood Road Rail Crossing Upgrade
Work on the Harewood Road railway crossing has been wrapped up,
apart from the commissioning (switching on) of the new signals and gates, which
will be done in 2025. The project team thank everyone for their patience during
the period of disruption.
· Youth Space in Northland Mall
On 10 October 2024, the Board previewed the new youth space in Northlands Mall, which is next to the mall entrance by the bus stops on Main North Road. This will provide a much-needed safe space for young people to gather and connect with each other and youth workers.
The Board supported the project through its Better Off Fund, which has come together through the collaboration of Papanui Youth Development Trust and Te Ora Hou Ōtautahi.
The space has been open since 14 October 2024, and is being well
utilised.
· Richmond Spring Fair
Held on Saturday 19 October 2024 in the surrounds of Avebury House
and Richmond Community Garden, the Richmond Spring Fair was a great success,
activating the whole site. The day had something for everyone, with people of all
ages enjoying the attractions and community spirit. Board members and community
governance staff also made the most of the offerings; the Repair Café
assisted with a certain handbag repair, proving the value of their repair
revolution.
Adding to the spirit of the day, the Farandol Folkdancers were out in force; Barbara, Irene and Alastair from the group
(pictured below) demonstrated some of the traditional dress. The group focus on
the folk dances of Eastern Europe, though also include those of France, Israel,
Armenia, Russia, and elsewhere.

· Greers Langdons traffic lights now operational
The traffic lights at the Greers/Langdons Road intersection were commissioned (switched on) in time for Labour Weekend and a month ahead of schedule.
This project had been underway since the start of August and the contractor (Issac Construction) worked hard to complete the work and install the traffic lights for the community as quickly as possible.
These
changes will make the intersection safer to use for road users, pedestrians and
cyclists, as well as reducing delays for turning traffic.

· Parks Update
The Community Partnership Rangers continue their collaborative work with the community around the greenspaces in the Board area:
Essex Reserve – On
10 and 17 October 2024, a Ranger, along with a local community volunteer,
and a few men from Salisbury St Foundation, completed working bee sessions,
clearing weeds from the garden bed in Essex Reserve around the plantings, and
picked up rubbish.
Rutland Reserve – Recently, the Community Partnership Rangers facilitated (and worked alongside) a planting session at the reserve with Verizon Connect Corporate group; the volunteers planted approximately 140 plants and mulched them.
Another session at the reserve last month saw the Rangers working
with a few volunteers from Verizon Connect as well as 70 students and a few
teachers from Paparoa St school; they planted approximately 180 plants and
mulched them.
The Council’s Healthy Water Bodies Facilitator also attended the session to talk to the students about why we protect waterways and what they can do themselves to look after them.
In addition to the amazing work of the Community Partnership Rangers
helping the students with the planting, the volunteers from Verizon Connect did
the heavy lifting moving mulch to the plants, which allowed the students to
just focus on planting. Both sessions were very successful and everyone enjoyed
getting outside.
Dunedin Reserve
On 29 October 2024, there was an initial planting with tamariki and their caregivers from Redwood Playcentre for the Dunedin Reserve Miniature Fruit Forest Loop.
With
the help of the Community Partnerships Ranger, they planted a dwarf peach tree,
dwarf nectarine, six New Zealand cranberries, and three blueberry bushes. The
Ranger noting: ‘We intend to add more plants next planting season,
perhaps some herbs and wildflowers’; and remarking that: ‘It's been
a pleasure working with the playcentre and I'm looking forward to all that's to
come as the space develops.’
Papanui Bush
The photos below from Papanui Bush were taken on 8 October 2024 at the Reserve's regular morning working bee (every Second Tuesday of the month from 8.30am to 12.30pm).
A major force behind the planting of the bush, Denis McMurtrie, is pictured joined by volunteers from Papanui Rotary and the wider community, along with some of the Community Partnership Rangers.

3.5.2 Council Engagement and Consultation
Trees play an important role in combating the effects of climate change. Not only do trees soak up carbon, but they also bring many other benefits, such as reducing ground temperatures, aiding in stormwater management and filtering out air pollutants. The Council is undertaking an ambitious tree planting program across the city. The planting program is an important step in fulfilling the outcomes of the Urban Forest Plan which among other things endeavours to increase the canopy cover across our city.
The Council's Welcoming Communities team work to help newcomers
(former refugees, migrants and international students) and relocated New
Zealanders feel more welcomed, connected and valued in their communities. To do
this, a new plan is being created to suit the unique needs of these newcomers.
If you're new to Christchurch, they want to hear from you – to understand
your needs, challenges, what you enjoy and what may have been missed, to create
an inclusive environment.
Consultations in other parts of the district:
