District Speed Limit Review Author Martin Lo; Graduate Engineer, Roading Emily Reed; Corporate Planner Activity manager Brian Fauth; Roading Manager Toni Durham; Strategy & Policy Manager Group manager Neil McCann; Group Manager, Service Delivery Jane Donaldson; Group Manager, Strategy & Compliance Summary • The purpose of this report is to adopt the speed limit changes following the consultation, hearings, and deliberations. • 204 submissions were received on the proposed speed limit changes, with 14 submitters attending the hearing. • A series of changes to the proposed speed limit changes were made during the deliberation in response to the public’s feedback, and are detailed within this report. Recommendations to Council 1. A) That Council adopts the speed limit changes as shown in the appended speed limit maps (Appendix 1). B) That Council amends the Transportation Bylaw, as per the maps contained within Appendix 1, and this is publically notified. 2. That Council develops the placement of the school zone speed limits with schools and stakeholders, with speed limits outside rural schools set at 60 km/h, and 40 km/h outside urban schools. 3. That Council installs variable speed limit signs outside schools. 4. That Council retains the speed limit along the Arundel Rakaia Gorge Road at Mount Somers, between Hoods Road and Ashburton Gorge Road, at 100 kilometres per hour; and that officers be directed to investigate road treatment options with the Mount Somers Citizen Association. Appendix 1: Speed limit maps Appendix 2: Examples of signage Appendix 3: Minutes of hearings & deliberations 5 Background The current situation 1. A review of local speed limits was undertaken across the district to ensure the speed limits on the district’s roads are safe and appropriate. 2. Roads included in the review had been signalled as of concern to Council by members of the community. Council also included roads in the review that did not align with the current speed management guidelines and were considered a risk to road users. Previous Council decisions and direction 3. At the 19 December 2019 Council meeting, the decision was made to consult on the proposed speed limit changes. 4. Consultation was undertaken from 24 January to 8 March 2020, with an open day held on 17 February 2020. 5. 204 submissions were received on the proposed speed limit changes, with 14 submitters attending the hearing on 22 June 2020 to speak to their submission. 6. Following Council deliberations on the submissions, it was identified that public support was for: • lower speed limits on many of the proposed roads, with 50 / 60 km/h speed limits on urban fringe roads • a 40 km/h speed limit in subdivisions rather than the proposed 30 km/h speed limit • 40 km/h speed limit outside all urban schools and 60 km/h speed limit outside all rural schools. 7. A series of minor changes were also made to the original proposal during deliberations; the following tables describe any changes which are different from that proposed in the consultation document. For full details of the updated speed limit changes, see the speed limit maps in Appendix 1. Ashburton 8. The speed limits in the Ashburton East area have caused officers to review their original proposal. In light of the deliberations, officers propose leaving many of the speed limits unchanged to avoid creating a multitude of speed limits that may become unclear to road users. Road Speed limit Changes to the existing proposal following proposal in Council Deliberations consultation document Taits Road 50 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h 6 Northpark Road 50 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Glassworks Road 50 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h from Company Rd and Bridge St Murdochs Road 60 km/h Reduce from 100km/h to 80 km/h Morris Road 60 km/h Reduce from 100km/h to 80 km/h Company Road 60 km/h The 70 km/h section on Company Rd remains unchanged but the section between the current 70:100 speed limit sign and Ashford Ave will be reduced to 80km/h Ashford Avenue 60 km/h Reduce from 100km/h to 80 km/h Southpark Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Seafield Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Keenans Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Grayburn Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h McGrath Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Milton Road South 60 km/h No change, remain at 100 km/h Smithfield Road 60 km/h No change, remain at 70 km/h Malcolm McDowell Avenue 30 km/h Reduce from 70 km/h to 50 km/h for a consistent speed limit with Bremners Road Gordons Road 30 km/h Reduce from 70 km/h to 50 km/h for a consistent speed limit with Bremners Road Brucefield Avenue 30 km/h Remove from speed limit review and reintroduce into the school zone speed limit review Albert Street 50 km/h Reduce current speed limit of 70 km/h to 60 km/h, as it will now be covered by the school zone speed limit Lochlea Subdivision 30 km/h Reduce to 40km/h Braebrook Subdivision 30 km/h Reduce to 40km/h Tinwald Road Speed limit Changes to the existing proposal following proposal in Council Deliberations consultation document Oaklea Subdivision 30 km/h Reduce to 40km/h Tarbottons Subdivision 30 km/h Reduce to 40km/h Shearman Street 30 km/h Reduce to from 70 km/h 50 km/h for a consistent speed limit 7 Grahams Road 80 km/h During deliberations it was discussed that a 60km/h zone could be created to Gartartan Road.

It is an area dominated by agriculture, with a mixture of cropping and grazing, both irrigated and non-irrigated. This report presents the results from a number investigations conducted in 2004 to create a snapshot of nitrate concentrations in groundwater across the Ashburton-Hinds plain. It then examines data that have been collected since 2004 to update the conclusions drawn from the 2004 data. In 2004, nitrate nitrogen concentrations were measured in groundwater samples from 121 wells on the Ashburton-Hinds plain. The concentrations ranged from less than 0.1 milligram per litre (mg/L) to more than 22 mg/L. The highest concentrations were measured in the Tinwald area, within an area approximately 3 km wide and 11 km long where concentrations were commonly greater than the maximum acceptable value (MAV) of 11.3 mg/L set by the Ministry of Health.

    PRINCIPAL's PIECE LAST NEWSLETTER for 2012 UPCOMING EVENTS TERM DATES for 2013 Start of Year 2013

    PRINCIPAL’S PIECE LAST NEWSLETTER FOR 2012 Dear Parents and Caregivers Last Wednesday, 21 November Mrs Fiona Jessep, Agriculture teacher, Mrs Carol Wilson the Chair of the Board of Trustees and myself attended an information day called “Principals in2 the Field”. This was a day organised by our own Young Farmers showcasing some of the career opportunities in the Agriculture industry. About 40 people attended from secondary schools in the Canterbury region. The day started at Lincoln University then we went to the Sheep Breeding Centre where we were given a presentation normally given to Year 12 Agriculture students. While I could select the best potential for meat producing ewes from a small flock by just looking at them, I struggled to choose the best breeding line by the same method. However, with good data and an explanation of how to use it these both became easier tasks. The explanation and demonstration of AI (artificial insemination) was also interesting. Our next stop was the SYNLAIT Plant. While we were not able to access inside (as there were too many of us) the representatives from the plant gave us a detailed explanation of the business and the way they work towards sustainable environmental practices. Junior Prizegivings 2012 Our third visit was to 5 Star Beef Lot at Wakanui where we were shown around the farm and Yr 9/10 11.00am then Sir Graeme Harrison, Chairman of ANZCO and past pupil of the College addressed us on the importance of the Primary Industries to New Zealand, the future potential in the industry and Yr 7/8 1.30pm the need for our brightest young minds to see the potential for successful careers in this field.

    Community and Social Recovery Needs and Capacities in Ashburton District in Covid-19 Times

    Community and Social Recovery Needs and Capacities in Ashburton District in Covid-19 Times Prepared for Safer Mid Canterbury and Ashburton District’s Caring for Communities Welfare Recovery Group By Sarah Wylie MA (hons.) [email protected] September 2020 Research made possible with generous support from EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Background The “Caring for Communities Welfare Recovery Group”, through Safer Mid Canterbury commissioned research which could underpin a planned response model to support the community and social sector through Covid-19 and beyond. The present research was undertaken by Sarah Wylie, a social and community researcher and evaluator. Methodology The research employed a predominantly qualitative methodology, comprising a brief literature review, review of relevant demographic data, electronic surveys of service providers, community organisations and health and wellbeing services, schools, funders and members of a Pasifika Facebook group for the district, and 106 community experts - social, community and health and wellbeing-focused providers and a sample of schools across the district, along with groups well-equipped to provide commentary of the economic situation in Ashburton took part in 36 in-depth, semi-structured interviews and focus groups (32 face- to-face and 4 undertaken by phone). Data was collected through late July and August 2020. Findings Ashburton district is a community of relative affluence, with historically low unemployment and an economy with a strong agricultural base, which in the current environment means a high proportion of workers and businesses are classed as essential. While Covid-19 has impacted some businesses in the community, and especially hospitality and tourism businesses centred in Methven, and retail in Ashburton, the impact has been, and is expected to continue to be less strong than in many other parts of the country.
