On 26 August 2016, the Panel issued Decision 38 on sub-chapter 9.2 concerning Outstanding Natural Features and Landscapes, Significant Features and Landscapes and Areas of Natural Character in the Coastal Environment (‘Decision 38’). We refer to and adopt what that decision sets out concerning our processes under the Canterbury Earthquake (Christchurch Replacement District Plan) Order 2014 (‘OIC’) for the formulation of the Christchurch Replacement District Plan (‘CRDP’),1 rights of appeal and the effect of this decision,2 the statutory framework of the OIC and the Resource Management Act 1991 (‘RMA’),3 and the relevance of the Panel’s Decision 1 on Strategic Directions, including the CRDP’s Strategic Directions Objectives.4 [2] Following mediations, expert conferencing, our hearing and various Panel directions, Christchurch City Council (‘Council’/‘CCC’) proposed various changes to its notified version of sub-chapter 9.4 (‘Notified Version’). This culminated with the version it provided with its closing submissions (‘Final Revised Version’) which we treat as superseding the Notified Version insofar as the Council’s position is concerned. The changes we make to the Final Revised Version are in Schedule 1 (‘Decision Version’). [3] Panel member, Dr Phil Mitchell, was unable to be present for the reconvened hearing on 10 and 11 August. However, he participated in the hearing on all other dates. Dr Mitchell is a signatory to this decision for all matters and decisions other than those arising from 10 and 11 August. Identification of parts of Existing District Plan to be replaced [4] The OIC requires that our decision also identifies the parts of the Existing Plan5 to be replaced by this decision. It replaces the Existing Plan’s listed significant trees (although we 1 Decision 38 at [1]. 2 Decision 38 at [8]. 3 Decision 38 at [12]–[13]. 4 Decision 38 at [18]. 5 Comprising the Christchurch City Plan and the Banks Peninsula District Plan. Natural and Cultural Heritage – Topic 9.4 4 have relisted public realm trees from the existing Christchurch and Banks Peninsula plans). The provisions in Schedule 1 replace those in the Existing Plan. Conflicts of interest [5] We have posted notice of any potential conflicts of interest on the Independent Hearings Panel website.6 In the course of the hearing, it was identified on various occasions that submitters were known to members of the Panel either through previous business associations or through current or former personal associations. Those disclosures (and, on some matters, member recusals) were recorded in the transcript, which was again available daily on the Hearings Panel’s website. No party raised any issue. Introduction [6] Sub-chapter 9.4, dealing with significant trees, drew a passionate response from a relatively small group of submitters. This is not surprising given the importance of trees to the appearance and amenity of Christchurch and its surrounds and the particular tensions that can arise between those matters and private property rights (the related statutory principles concerning which we address at [20] and following). [7] While at the close of the hearing there remained substantial differences between some submitters and the Council, the formal and informal mediation process brought significant other submitters and the Council much closer to agreement. [8] We will outline the Council’s initial response and then go straight to the matters that remained outstanding after closings, and deal with the more general matters, followed by site- specific ones. [9] In the course of that, it is necessary to address some important process matters and fairness issues that arose in the course of the hearing. [10] Ms Rachlin gave planning evidence on behalf of the CCC at section 17 of her brief of evidence.7 This outlined the CCC’s approach, which she said was driven by s 5 of the RMA 6 The website address is www.chchplan.ihp.govt.nz. 7 Evidence in chief of Caroline Rachlin on behalf of the CCC, 15 December 2015. Natural and Cultural Heritage – Topic 9.4 5 and s 7 matters (including the maintenance and enhancement of amenity, the maintenance and enhancement of the quality of the environment and the Council’s functions under s 31). [11] She also gave evidence that the approach recognised the Higher Order Documents, including the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement 2013 (‘CRPS’), the Land Use Recovery Plan (‘LURP’), the Central City Recovery Plan (‘CCRP’) and the Statement of Expectations. She also took into account previous decisions of the Panel. [12] She noted that the Existing Plan contains substantial lists of significant trees, the bulk of which were listed at, or even prior to, the time of the Existing Plan’s public notification. [13] CCC considered that as the list was so substantial, there was insufficient time and resource available to undertake a full review of it. For that reason, CCC took a two-fold approach: one for trees on private land and the other for those in the public realm. [14] First, all trees on private land that are listed in the Existing Plan were inspected and assessed using the Christchurch Tree Evaluation Method (‘CTEM’), which is more fully described in Mr Graham’s evidence.8 Trees that were found to have met specified selection criteria under the CTEM were identified as significant. Further assessment of some significant trees was undertaken to identify if they had exceptional value. Significant trees, and those significant trees with exceptional values, were listed in the Notified

  • 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.
