NORTHERN ACCESS SHORT TERM RESPONSE PROGRAMME DEVELOPMENT The Committee were updated on the assessment of short term options to address northern access congestion issues and seek endorsement of the recommended programme of short term actions so that the affected Councils can consider ratification at their next meetings. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Urban Development Strategy Implementation Committee: a) Note the report and the joint task force work undertaken to assess the northern access options. b) Agree to the problem statement and outcomes sought for the short term programme of interventions. * UDS partners in respect of this matter are the Christchurch City Council, Selwyn District Council, Waimakariri District Council, Environment Canterbury, Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and New Zealand Transport Agency. 6 Greater Christchurch UDS Implementation Committee 11. 7. 2014 - 2 - 6. Cont’d c) Endorsed the recommended short term response programme to be delivered through the partner organisation processes. d) Agree to refer the short term response programme to the respective Councils or Agencies for ratification and consideration of funding options at their next available meetings in July. e) Note that Officers will continue to explore further options for the medium and long term programme. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Urban Development Strategy Implementation Committee: 1. Noted the report and the joint taskforce work undertaken to assess the northern access options. 2. Agrees on an amended problem statement which recognises the financial implications and ability to pay challenges for the partners in meeting their share of the solutions to address the outcomes sought for the short term programme of interventions. The amended problem statement is as follows: The large number of people travelling from Waimakariri District to Christchurch City each day has resulted in the travel demand exceeding the network capacity causing congestion and unreliable travel times. The accelerated need for a short term response poses financial challenges for the partners as their current annual plans and long term plans do not contain resources for the proposed solutions. The desired outcome is as follows: Reduce congestion and provide appropriate journey time level of service and predictable travel times (reliability). 3a. Agrees that the short term rail package (options 4a & 4b) is not progressed. 3b. (i) Agrees to continue with the easily implemented options (Road Optimisation and Traveller Information, options 5 & 6) as set out in sections 5 to 8 of the Northern Access Short term Response Programme Development report (dated 11 July 2014). (ii) Agrees that further work be undertaken to investigate the Bus Package – implementation, costs, routes and timings and develop a funding package between the parties (options 1 & 2) as set out in sections 5 to 8 of the Northern Access Short Term Response Programme Development report (dated 11 July 2014). (iii) Agrees that further work be undertaken to investigate High Occupancy Vehicles (option 3) as set out in sections 5 to 8 of the Northern Access short term response programme development report (dated 11 July 2014). (iv) Agrees that work be undertaken to investigate and then report back on road tolling options for the Waimakariri Bridge. 4. Notes that officers will continue to explore further options for medium and long term public transport including the role of rail 5a. Agrees that Waimakariri District Council and Christchurch City Council work together to communicate the need for commuters to change their travel behaviour from the current 84 per cent single vehicle occupancy to become part of the solution. 5b. Agrees that targeted communication be undertaken with employers and large institutions such as schools and hospitals and also business parks on the need for encouraging

  • Strategy and Policy Committee Report Back on Attendance at the Emergency Management Conference
    STRATEGY AND POLICY COMMITTEE 7 MARCH 2013 REPORT 5 (1215/52/IM) REPORT BACK ON ATTENDANCE AT THE EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE – FEBRUARY 2012 1. Purpose of Report To report back to all Councillors on the Conference including the subjects covered and an opinion of the value of attendance by Elected Members. 2. Purpose of Report It is recommended that the Strategy and Policy Committee 1. Receive the information. 3. Details of the Conference On February 22nd 2011 I was attending an Emergency Management Conference. Guest speakers spoke of how lucky Christchurch was to have survived the previous September 4th quake with no loss of life. We broke for lunch and at 12.51pm Christchurch suffered another major earthquake. This time it was not so lucky and it became obvious, from the experts in the room that this would be serious. The conference was cancelled and I went home to watch the grim news unfold on television. In February 2012 the conference reconvened. This time there was much to discuss. I was unfortunately not able to attend all sessions as a fellow councillor who was to also attend and do some of the sessions was not able to be there. The first day started with keynote speakers: Clive Manley, head of Auckland Council Civil Defence, Hon Chris Tremain Minister of Civil Defence and Mayor Bob Parker. Bob told us 71,000 homes were affected, 40,000 chemical toilets were distributed, half a million tons of silt was moved and $1billion of damage was done to the waste water system alone. After morning tea we heard from Dr Richard Sharpe of BECA.

  • Urban Disaster Recovery in Christchurch: the Central Business District Cordon and Other Critical Decisions
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by UC Research Repository Urban Disaster Recovery in Christchurch: The Central Business District Cordon and Other Critical Decisions a) a) b) Stephanie E. Chang, M.EERI, Josh E. Taylor, Kenneth J. Elwood, c) d) e) M.EERI, Erica Seville, Dave Brunsdon, M.EERI, and Mikaël Gartner The Canterbury earthquakes, which involved widespread damage in the February 2011 event and ongoing aftershocks near the Christchurch central business district (CBD), presented decision-makers with many recovery challenges. This paper identifies major government decisions, challenges, and lessons in the early recovery of Christchurch based on 23 key-informant interviews conducted 15 months after the February 2011 earthquake. It then focuses on one of the most important decisions – maintaining the cordon around the heavily damaged CBD – and investigates its impacts. The cordon displaced 50,000 central city jobs, raised questions about (and provided new opportunities for) the long-term viability of downtown, influenced the number and practice of building demolitions, and affected debris management; despite being associated with substantial losses, the cordon was commonly viewed as necessary, and provided some benefits in facilitating recovery. Management of the cordon poses important lessons for planning for catastrophic urban earthquakes around the world. Full citation: Chang, S. E., Taylor, J. E., Elwood, K.

    CHANNEL DEEPENING PROJECT: CONSENT APPLICATIONS September 2016 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 Lyttelton Port of Christchurch is the primary international gateway for the South Island with Christchurch being the major distribution centre for inbound goods. Export cargo originates from across the South Island. Export customers include a wide variety of dairy, meat, forestry, horticultural, mineral extraction and manufacturing businesses. 1.2 Lyttelton Port is the most significant port in the South Island in terms of total tonnages of cargo and containers handled, as well as in the value of imports received and in the value of certain exports. 1.3 The importance of the Lyttelton Port has been recognised in the various statutory documents prepared under the Resource Management Act, 1991 (‘RMA’) for many years. For example, Lyttelton Port is defined as a regionally significant infrastructure under the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement, and is also variously defined as a strategic, critical, and essential infrastructure in that document. At the national level, it is recognised that a sustainable transport system requires an efficient network of safe ports, servicing national and international shipping. 1.4 Lyttelton was gazetted as a port of entry in 1849 and by the 1870s dredging operations commenced. Dredging to incrementally deepen the access channel and berth areas, and to maintain the design depths, has been carried out more or less continuously since then. 1.5 In the last forty years there has been a global trend towards increased containerization, larger container vessels and fewer port calls. This trend is driven by the economies of scale associated with the higher fuel efficiency of larger ships, and the fact that larger ships can spread costs over the higher volume of containers they can carry (thereby reducing the average cost of transporting each container).

The Port Hills Appeals process is underway, regarding whether properties are classified as red or green. Discussions are underway with the owners of uninsured property in the red zone. There are about 70 owners in this situation, which is less than 1 percent of all red-zoned properties. The Draft Central City Transport Plan to be released by the Minister this afternoon.

    CREATING EMPLOYMENT for YOUNG PEOPLE in YOUR COMMUNITY Ideas and solutions from The Mayors Taskforce for Jobs “It is terrific to see such varied projects coming out of the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs. We know that there is a wealth of opportunities for young people in their own communities and these examples show that. Every young person who feels optimistic about their community will add value and wealth to the region. This is a Best Practice guide, which not only tells about the projects but also gives you the key factors for success. I hope it will be widely used and the examples copied, changed and developed in communities throughout the country”. Garry Moore Chair - Mayors Taskforce for Jobs Mayor of Christchurch ACKNOWLEDGMENTS A most sincere thank you to everyone who so willingly shared with us information about their various projects and the ways in which these are helping to foster greater community spirit and a coming together of disparate skills. Such cooperation gives cause for optimism – a hope that collaboration will foster the untapped talent of young people and help towards creating a sustainable employment environment for the future. Also thanks to the Mayors Taskforce for Jobs partners, particularly Work & Income, Community Employment Group and the Employment Catalyst Fund who have assisted with funding for many of the projects.
