  • Report of the Sustainable Transport and Utilities Committee to the Council Meeting of 26 February 2004 the Main Issues Raised in the Submissions Were
    5. CATHEDRAL SQUARE REDEVELOPMENT - STAGE 5 Officer responsible Authors City Streets Manager Chris Collins, Project Manager, and Dave Hinman, Central City Team Leader, DDI 941-8804 The purpose of this report is to record the process and issues and formally report to the Committee, the conclusions and recommendations reached by the Sustainable Transport and Utilities Committee following consultation and a series of meetings and seminars regarding the traffic engineering aspects of the Stage 5 Cathedral Square Redevelopment (northwest quadrant), together with that part of Worcester Street between Oxford Terrace and the Square. BACKGROUND The Northwest quadrant remains the last part of Cathedral Square to be redeveloped under the plan approved in 1996-77 and generally implemented 1998-2000. This area had become the interim suburban bus terminal, pending a decision on a new site elsewhere in the central city, and the only significant ‘final’ work undertaken was the reconstruction of the footpath area around its edge. Following the removal of the buses to the Bus Exchange (2001), then a review of the Square design by a team led by Ian Athfield together with extensive public consultation, the Council at its meeting in December 2002 considered a substantive report on the options for completing the Square project, including changes to the areas already redeveloped. In respect of Stage 5 it resolved, inter alia, “...That design work for the north-west quadrant be implemented, with a completion date of no later than 30 June 2003” and “…that the implementation of detail design and construction now pass to the Property and Major Projects Committee provided that details of traffic engineering first be approved by the Sustainable Transport and Utilities Committee.” In the first half of 2003, a Council staff team, led by the City Streets Unit, developed a draft plan for Stage 5.

  • Central City Strategy
    Christchurch Central City Strategy Community Feedback September – December 2000 OVERVIEW OF FEEDBACK The following feedback addresses the most consistent issues to emerge from the community consultation for the Central City Strategy Discussion Document through September – December 2000. Meetings were held across the City and included Central City Residents Associations, Sub-urban resident meetings arranged through the Community Boards, specific “Interest Sector” meetings (such as Central City Retail) and a small number of neighbourhood group meetings with resident groups who had an strong desire to view the Strategy presentation. Whilst not a comprehensive consultation of the City, the Strategy Team did effectively begin what is likely to be an ongoing discussion with the residents of the city on the future of the Central City. The feedback is presented in the same format as was set out in the Discussion Document and the accompanying presentation used by the Central City Strategy Team. This provides consistency with the Discussion Document but, more importantly, reflects the focus of the discussions that followed each presentation. The feedback has been represented in three categories: 1) KEY ISSUES AND PRIORITIES TO EMERGE The recurring and consistent issues raised by residents at the community meetings. 2) ISSUES OF CONCERN Particular issues that reflect the range of concern’s residents had with regards to the Central City and the proposed Strategy. 3) GATHERING IDEAS A collection of valuable and interesting ideas that emerged from the feedback highlighting the immediate responses of residents to the Central City Strategy and possibilities for future initiatives and project areas for the Strategy. To be included: 4) RECCOMENDATIONS A brief set of suggestions based on the experience of undertaking this initial round of consultation, towards an ongoing engagement with the public and interest sectors as the Strategy develops.
