This hearing has arisen as the result of the Panel’s concerns regarding procedural fairness in terms of the proposed pCRDP rescheduling of a number of trees on private property. The reinstatement occurred as a result of a mediated agreement between the Christchurch City Council and the Christchurch Civic Trust and aligned submitters (the Trust.) ii. My evidence addresses why I consider the adjusted thresholds set under the mediated agreement are appropriate and better achieve the purpose of the RMA and the statutory framework than either the pCRDP as notified, or the revised proposals filed by the Christchurch City Council (CCC) on 22 and 26 July respectively – which will also affect a large number of trees where no change has been requested and no concerns raised. iii. In particular, I set out why I believe the proposed higher thresholds will result in a significant number of trees that are significant or exceptional no longer being identified or protected, with attendant significant adverse effects on the city’s landscape, amenity, historic and cultural heritage values. iv. I also address, in broad terms, the concerns raised by the additional submitters in terms of the scheduling and management of significant and exceptional trees. In doing so I identify the considerable steps that have already been taken to ensure that the pCRDP is significantly more enabling than the Operative Plans as well as considering what further can be done in this respect, particularly in terms of Policy 9.4.2.1. v. Finally, I address specific instances where I believe delisting of the trees raised through submission may be appropriate, based on the evidence available to date.

I have set out my full qualifications and experience in my evidence-in-chief for the 9.4 Trees hearing (Brief of Evidence of Helen Lowe) which was filed on 13 January. 1.2 I am authorised to give evidence on behalf of the following submitters (the Submitters) insofar as their submissions relate to 9.4 Significant Trees: 1.2.1 Christchurch Civic Trust (3700); 1.2.2 NZ Notable Trees Trust (3618); 1.2.3 NZ Institute of Landscape Architects Canterbury West Coast (3566); 1.2.4 Peterborough Village/Pia Kaik Inc. Society (3233); 1.2.5 Royal NZ Institute of Horticulture (3287); and 1.2.6 NZ Arboricultural Association (3278) 1.2.7 Lady Barbara Stewart (3270) 2 I have already provided the following statements of evidence regarding Section 9.4, to which I adhere, subject to modifications or corrections made in subsequent statements, including this statement: 2.1 Evidence in Chief, 13 January 2016 2.2 Rebuttal evidence, 15 January 2016 3 I have read all the briefs of evidence filed by Mr Bradley Cadwallader and by Ms Di Lucas in relation to these proceedings, including their respective briefs of 29 July 2016, and rely on their expertise in relation to arboricultural and landscape issues. 4 I confirm that I have read the Code of Conduct for Expert Witnesses contained in the Environment Court Practice Note 2014 and that I agree to comply with it. I confirm that I have considered all the material facts that I am aware of that might alter or detract from the opinions that I express, and that this evidence is within my area of expertise, except where I state that I am relying on the evidence of another person. 1 Evidence of Helen Lowe, Christchurch Civic Trust (3700) and Others: Chapter 9.4 Significant Trees – Additional Submissions & Hearing 3700 Christchurch Civic Tust and others - Evidence of Helen Lowe including Appendix 1 - 29-07-2016 Page 5 of 31 SCOPE OF EVIDENCE 5 This hearing has arisen as the result of the Panel’s concerns regarding procedural fairness in terms of the reinstatement of a number of trees on private property, currently scheduled on the OCDP, into Appendix 9.4.5, Appendices – Trees of the pRCDP. The reinstatement occurred as a result of a mediated agreement between the Christchurch City Council and the Christchurch Civic Trust and aligned submitters (hereafter simply the Trust.) As Mr Cadwallader explains in his 29 July evidence, the essence of that was to adjust the thresholds at which the original CTEM methodology considered trees to be significant, in order to address the deficiencies in the CTEM assessment method. 6 Through its memoranda in response to the additional submissions, the CCC has raised the following three issues: 6.1 Issue 1: Should the specific trees raised in landowner comments and late submissions be included in the Schedule of Significant Trees? 6.2 Issue 2: Should the provisions for the pruning of significant trees be more enabling? 6.3 Issue 3: Whether and if so how should the provisions in Topic 9.4 including the objectives, policies and rules, be amended in light of concerns raised by landowners? 7 In its Memorandum of 29 July 2016, the Trust has put forward a further issue: 7.1 Issue 4: What is the appropriate test and method for determining whether submitters’ trees should be included or excluded from the Schedule of Significant Trees? 8 At the prehearing, with respect to Issue 2, the Trust sought that consideration also be given to the proposed form of the 9.4 provisions, not only as notified, but following the eight month pCRDP process of revision via expert conferencing, mediation and hearing at the time of legal closing. 9 In my evidence, I will address these issues through: 9.1 Setting out why I consider the adjusted thresholds set under the mediated agreement are appropriate and better achieve the purpose 2 Evidence of Helen Lowe, Christchurch Civic Trust (3700) and Others: Chapter 9.4 Significant Trees – Additional Submissions & Hearing 3700 Christchurch Civic Tust and others - Evidence of Helen Lowe including Appendix 1 - 29-07-2016 Page 6 of 31 of the RMA and the Statutory Framework, as set out at Section 6 of my Evidence in Chief (EiC), than either the pCRDP as notified or the revised proposals filed by the Christchurch City Council (CCC) on 22 and 26 July respectively. (Issues 1and 4.) 9.2 I will also address the concerns raised by the additional submitters in terms of appropriate consideration of other matters affecting the scheduling of significant and exceptional trees, both generally and where these may occur on a site specific basis. (Issue 1 and 4, in part; also Issues 2 and 3) THE ADDITIONAL SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED 10 103 additional submissions have been received, affecting approximately 277 of the trees affected by the mediated agreement (MA). This constitutes just over 33% (ca. 34.6%) of the trees covered by the MA and 30% (ca. 29.21%) of the owners that were sent the IHP’s procedural letter. 11 The procedural letter clearly advised property owners that if they were not concerned by their tree or trees being relisted then they need not respond. Of the additional submissions received, therefore, only one was clearly in support of relisting. However, a number of other submitters (21 The Church Property Trustees; 46 The Christian Schools Trust; 73 St John of God Hauora Trust, and 102 St Georges’ Hospital, without being

  • The Canterbury Association
    The Canterbury Association (1848-1852): A Study of Its Members’ Connections By the Reverend Michael Blain Note: This is a revised edition prepared during 2019, of material included in the book published in 2000 by the archives committee of the Anglican diocese of Christchurch to mark the 150th anniversary of the Canterbury settlement. In 1850 the first Canterbury Association ships sailed into the new settlement of Lyttelton, New Zealand. From that fulcrum year I have examined the lives of the eighty-four members of the Canterbury Association. Backwards into their origins, and forwards in their subsequent careers. I looked for connections. The story of the Association’s plans and the settlement of colonial Canterbury has been told often enough. (For instance, see A History of Canterbury volume 1, pp135-233, edited James Hight and CR Straubel.) Names and titles of many of these men still feature in the Canterbury landscape as mountains, lakes, and rivers. But who were the people? What brought these eighty-four together between the initial meeting on 27 March 1848 and the close of their operations in September 1852? What were the connections between them? In November 1847 Edward Gibbon Wakefield had convinced an idealistic young Irishman John Robert Godley that in partnership they could put together the best of all emigration plans. Wakefield’s experience, and Godley’s contacts brought together an association to promote a special colony in New Zealand, an English society free of industrial slums and revolutionary spirit, an ideal English society sustained by an ideal church of England. Each member of these eighty-four members has his biographical entry.

  • Avonside Anglican Parish Cemetery Tour
    Avonside Anglican Parish Cemetery Tour Compiled by Richard L. N. Greenaway June 2007 Avonside Parish Cemetery 2007 1 Avonside Anglican Cemetery The 16 December 1893 Star of contains an article which reads: Avonside churchyard “The most English-looking God’s Acre in Canterbury, as Avonside Churchyard has been appropriately named, is well worth a visit. It is peculiarly interesting for several reasons. Its consecration was the first ceremony of the kind performed in the settlement; and the donation of the site for the church, churchyard and schoolhouse (in about two acres, given by an English clergyman, the Rev. W. Bradley) stands first on the diocesan “list of endowments and donations of land for church purposes by private individuals”. Besides this, it is a beautiful well-kept garden, the monuments and their inscriptions being just sufficient to add a pathos to the scene without casting upon it a mournful shade. Viewed on an early summer morning, a gentle warm breeze just perceptible, the birds singing merrily with, as an accompaniment, the soft hum of the busy city life just awakening in the distance, it is a spot to linger over. The well- grown trees form a framework of varied green beyond the power of artist to reproduce; the little gardens in miniature glow with a wealth of every colour: the bright satiny ivy here and there twines luxuriantly up cross and headstone, and the whole forms a picture of peace and beauty not easily surpassed. Situated just to the east of the Stanmore Road, on the Avon, entrance is gained by means of an avenue about 40 feet wide and perhaps 350 feet long, planted with English and native trees and shrubs.

  • New Zealand Architecture in the 1850S: a One Day Symposium Friday 7Th December 2012
    "a distressing lack of regularity": New Zealand architecture in the 1850s: a one day symposium Friday 7th December 2012 ABSTRACTS Sarah Caylor ""NUISANCES": Managing human excrement in post-settlement Wellington, 1839-1865" This paper will explore how the fledgling community of Wellington, New Zealand dealt with the management of human excrement from the arrival of the New Zealand Company in 1839 until 1865 when the Town Board began efforts to manage the removal of "night soil" from Lambton Quay. Particular attention will be paid to the cultural environment that these debates operated in – specifically with regard to the cholera and sewerage debates in London, Māori protocols and customs, and the various effects of the Peruvian guano trade on the management of feces of all varieties since the 1840s. Attention will also be paid to the types and design of structures and mechanisms that facilitated the processing of human excrement in colonies such as Wellington. This is an area of study that is largely ignored but has nonetheless had a significant impact on the built environment. This paper proposes to offer a perspective that can help us think a bit more basally about how the needs of Wellington residents were met throughout the 1850s. Paul Diamond "Sites of Māori entrepreneurship in the collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library" The 1850s, unlike the decades either side, didn’t feature wars over land. Instead, the decade is striking for the growth and presence of Māori commercial activity – trading and participation in skilled supporting trades such as carpentry and stone masonry. Where Māori feature in the visual record of this period, their participation in the burgeoning economy isn't immediately obvious, and they appear as passive observers alongside the European built environment - businesses, schools, houses and churches.

    CHRISTCHURCH CITY PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE ITEM AND SETTING HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 203 DWELLING AND SETTING,ENGLEFIELD - 230 FITZGERALD AVENUE,CHRISTCHURCH PHOTO M.VAIR-PIOVA, 9/12/2014 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. Englefield is of high historical and social significance for its role in the early European settlement of Canterbury, and for its associations with W. G. Brittan, a notable early colonist involved in the establishment and administration of the Canterbury Settlement, and with local notary and politician E. C. J. Stevens. Englefield was built on a 50 acre block at the corner of then East Town belt, later Fitzgerald Avenue by William Guise Brittan (1809 – 1876) in 1855-1856. Brittan, his wife Louisa and their four young children arrived in 1850 on board one of the first four Canterbury Association ships, the Sir George Seymour. Brittan was a major figure in founding the Canterbury Settlement, and was the first to register his name as a buyer in January 1850. He held a number of prominent positions in the early settlement including Commissioner of Crown Lands, chairman of the Colonists' Society, supervisor of the allocation of Orders of Choice - the process by which colonists selected their land purchases - and treasurer of the Waste Page 1 Lands Board. Brittan was also known for his philanthropy and gave land for the Papanui Anglican Church.
