  • 200 Hackthorne Road, Christchurch
    DISTRICT PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 230 SIGN OF THE TAKAHE AND SETTING – 200 HACKTHORNE ROAD,CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 5/01/2015 HISTORICAL AND SOCIAL SIGNIFICANCE Historical and social values that demonstrate or are associated with: a particular person, group, organisation, institution, event, phase or activity; the continuity and/or change of a phase or activity; social, historical, traditional, economic, political or other patterns. The Sign of the Takahe has high historical and social significance for its association with politician and conservationist Harry Ell (1862-1934) and as a key element within his visionary Summit Road scheme. The great life-long preoccupation of Ell, who served both as a central and local government politician, was the promotion of a summit road from Godley Head to Akaroa, providing public access to all parts of the Port Hills. Resthouses would be distributed along the route, offering refreshments and modest accommodation. The Summit Road Association was founded by Ell in 1909 to foster the objective, and although the ambitious project was incomplete at the time of his death, he had seen a substantial portion of his scheme to fruition, including the establishment of four resthouses: the Signs of the Kiwi, Bellbird, Packhorse and Takahe. The Sign of the Takahe was planned from the beginning to be the largest and most important of the resthouses. Construction of the building, begun in 1918, was sufficiently advanced for Page 1 the Tram Terminus Resthouse, as it was then known, to open for business in 1920. Argument, financial difficulty, depression and war delayed completion, however, and it was not until 1948 that the building was finally finished.

This memorandum is filed on behalf of the Christchurch City Council (Council) in response to the Minute of the Panel dated 3 March 2016 regarding the Natural and Cultural Heritage Proposal (Minute). This memorandum addresses matters relating to Topic 9.3: Historic Heritage and Topic 9.4: Significant Trees. TOPIC 9.4: SIGNIFICANT TREES 2. The Minute granted leave for the Council to file a memorandum by 7 March 2016 confirming any request for leave to file supplementary evidence. Mediation on Thursday 3 March was helpful, and the Council does not consider that supplementary evidence or further formal engagement with interested parties will be necessary in relation to Topic 9.4 except to the extent envisaged by the timetable proposed below. While not all matters have been resolved, the Council anticipates that, by the time closings are filed, the points of disagreement will be reduced and clearly defined.
