Richmond Residential Red Zone: Summary of Technical Information As at Area ID: 15A, September 2016 15B Richmond residential red zone: Summary of Technical Information as at Area ID: 15A, September 2016 15B Purpose of this document: The following information provides a summary of the local environmental values, conditions and potential hazards. The information has been gathered using the best available technical data held by a number of agencies and organisations. It does not identify or assess land use options or the feasibility of land uses. The information in this document is not, and should not be interpreted as, a pre-determination, recommendation or decision about future use. No decisions regarding the future use of this land have been made. Overview of Richmond residential red zone (Area 15): Area 15 is approximately 27 hectares in area and adjoins River Road along the margins of the Ōtākaro/Avon River from Banks Avenue to the east and Fitzgerald Avenue to the west. To the north and west, Area 15 adjoins existing urban areas. This Area had a number of significant home gardens with mature trees some of which are still being tended. Area 15 is susceptible to a number of natural hazards, which can potentially occur either in isolation or collectively leading to a number of adverse cascading effects. The risk from many of these hazards will increase over time due to the accelerating effects of sea level rise. The area is particularly prone to lateral spreading. Land contamination may be an issue for much of the site. Location Map 1 Natural Environment and Cultural Setting and Features Natural Environment Adjacent to the Ōtākaro/Avon River and Tributaries Significant Ecological Site (site ID no. SES/LP/24) in Chapter 9 (Natural and Cultural Heritage) Appendix 9.1.4.1 of the notified version of the proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan1. This site is significant because it 'supports At-Risk fish species including their migration routes, and supports indigenous vegetation and avifauna that is representative of the Low Plains Ecological District'. The site includes Dudley Creek. Located at the south western corner of Harvey Terrace and Templar Street is a Significant Tree (Black Locust) – identified as Tree ID No. T139 in Chapter 9 of the notified version of the proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan. The adjacent Ōtākaro/Avon River main stem has a significant yellow flag iris (Iris pseudacorus) infestation. This plant is a weed that forms dense tuberous mats excluding native wetland plants, choking wetlands, waterways and may degrade whitebait spawning areas. The plant is designated an “unwanted organism” under the Biosecurity Act and is identified as a pest by ECan. Waterways Adjacent to Ōtākaro/Avon River (which is classified as a Downstream River) with a 30m setback and Dudley Creek (Upstream River) with a 10m setback2 as per Chapter 6 (General Rules and Procedures) of the notified version of the proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan3. A small section of the lower reach of Dudley Creek flows through Area 15A. Christchurch City Council’s vision for the Ōtākaro/Avon River catchment is set out in the following document: http://ccc.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Environment/Water/Avon-River-Catchment- Vision-and-Values.pdf Groundwater – Current median groundwater depth is predominantly deeper than 1m below depth below surface surface, except for lower-lying terrace at the Dudley Creek confluence (0.5 – 1.0m depth). Median groundwater depth with 1m sea level rise is anticipated is to be predominantly deeper than 1m below surface, except for the lower-lying terraces at the Dudley Creek confluence (at the surface, 0.0 – 1.0m depth) and Flesher Ave (0.5 – 1.0m depth). Coastal Marine Area Outside the Coastal Marine Area. Public Facilities Adjacent to Banks Ave School and in close proximity to the Shirley Boys High campus. Avebury House is located within the adjoining Avebury Park. The tennis courts below Harvey Terrace at the western end of Area 15. 1 The Independent Hearings Panel is yet to issue its decision on Chapter 9 hence the provisions and related maps are subject to change 2 A resource consent is required from the Christchurch City Council to fill, excavate or build within setbacks 3 The Independent Hearings Panel is yet to issue its decision on Chapter 6 hence the provisions and related maps are subject to change 2 Reserves Adjacent to Avebury Park, a Garden and Heritage Park (9,124m2) which has a significant cluster of mature trees, and is zoned Open Space Community Parks under the proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan. Also adjacent to Richmond Park which is a sports park (37,529m2), and reserves alongside the river. Mana Whenua / The whole of Area 15 is shown as a culturally significant zone and is part of a larger Ngāi Tahu Interests Ngāi Tūāhuriri takiwā area of interest. Mana Whenua and Ngāi Tahu strongly recognise the relationship of this area with Te Ao Tūroa (Natural Environment), ecological values and the water. This area also has significant Mahinga Kai values Archaeology and Chapter 9 (Natural and Cultural Heritage) of the notified version of the proposed Heritage Christchurch Replacement District Plan4: There is one heritage feature in Area 15B, being a cottage on River Rd (now removed). A Heritage Setting in Avebury Park adjacent to Area 15A is noted. New Zealand Archaeological Association: There are six recorded European archaeological sites, predominantly in Area 15B and the south end of Area 15A. Five of these relate to historic house sites and one is not identified. Material evidence of Māori occupation has been found in this locality in the past. There is a recorded Māori archaeological site in the vicinity of Banks Avenue and there is an area of potential Māori archaeological sites near Dudley Creek. Accordingly, there is potential for further items or sites of archaeological value to be discovered. Special or Other The house in Templar Street formerly owned by Bill Sutton, while not a listed Features heritage feature, is considered to have value for its association with an important Canterbury artist. Hazards Coastal Hazard The lowest-lying part of Area 15A (north of Medway St) is mapped as susceptible to coastal inundation and would be subject to coastal inundation in a one in 50 Coastal inundation year storm taking into account sea level rise within the next 50 years. The area Coastal Erosion may potentially be prone to coastal erosion as it is susceptible to daily tidal influence taking into account sea level rise within the next 50 years. This is Tsunami anticipated to be a passive erosion arising from daily tidal flow along the bank SLR = Sea Level Rise margins. assumed to be 0.4m The existing average ground elevation above perigean high tide level is 1.7m in over the next 50 Area 15A and 2.6m in Area 15B. Most of the land is within ±1.0m of these average years and 1m over levels. the next 100 years. For more information on coastal hazards, Christchurch City Council have a web page dedicated to coastal hazards which can be accessed at: 4 The Independent Hearings Panel is yet to issue its decision on Chapter 9 hence the provisions and related maps are subject to change. 3 http://www.ccc.govt.nz/environment/land/coast/coastalhazards/ Information on tsunami risk is available at: http://ecan.govt.nz/advice/emergencies-and-hazard/tsunami/Pages/south- american-tsunami-modelling.aspx Flooding Flood modelling shows major flowpaths exist within 150m of Dudley Creek confluence at Banks Ave, within 40m of river edge at bends in river at Glade Ave ARI = Average and Lois Pl, within 80m of river edge to the south of Harvey Tce, and within 25m of Recurrence Interval the river edge elsewhere. Lower terrace areas fall within proposed Christchurch Replacement District Plan Flood Management Area (200 year flood). Some small areas at the river edge and Dudley Creek confluence fall within the District Plan High Flood Hazard Management Area (500 year flood and more than 1m depth). Raising the land in the lower terrace areas above flood level, would likely worsen flooding elsewhere. In the higher terrace areas above the 200-year flood level fill would not be required for flood mitigation purposes. Depth of flooding for 50 year flood event with 1m sea level rise may be 0.5 to 0.7 on low lying areas and over 1.0m by Banks Avenue. Depth of flooding for 200 year flood event with 1m sea level rise may be 0.1 to over 1m on the lower terrace levels. For further information on flood hazards refer to the: ‘Flooding’ and ‘District Plan’ pages on the Regenerate Christchurch webpage. Geotechnical In Area 15 the main geotechnical constraint is the potential for severe area-wide lateral spreading due the long thin nature the area that is exposed to open river Earthquake induced frontage. Liquefaction, lateral spreading For further information on geotechnical issues in this area refer to the following geotechnical summary: Subsidence (consolidation) http://ceraarchive.dpmc.govt.nz/documents/flat-land-geotechnical-summaries Contamination Only two known sites on the Hazardous Activities and Industries List (HAIL) (identified as activities), but these are likely to be only small domestic tanks. The LLUR Listed Land Use age of dwellings means that soil contamination from asbestos is possible. Register The potential for shallow fill alongside the river was noted. Recent investigations have identified that some areas of shallow fill contain contaminated materials. Infrastructure Wastewater Wastewater mains (including the Northern Relief) cross the residential red zone from North Avon Road to Evelyn Couzins Ave, connecting to the pumping station on the opposite side of the Ōtākaro/Avon River. Wastewater mains also travel along Fitzgerald Ave and on Heyward Terrace.

  • Seismic Ratings for Degrading Structural Systems
    205 GEOTECHNICAL ASPECTS OF THE 22 FEBRUARY 2011 CHRISTCHURCH EARTHQUAKE Misko Cubrinovski1, Brendon Bradley1, Liam Wotherspoon2, Russell Green3, Jonathan Bray4, Clint Wood5, Michael Pender2, 6 7 8 1 John Allen , Aaron Bradshaw , Glenn Rix , Merrick Taylor , Kelly Robinson1, Duncan Henderson1, Simona Giorgini1, Kun Ma1, Anna Winkley1, Josh Zupan4, Thomas O’Rourke9, 10 11 Greg DePascale , Donnald Wells SUMMARY The 22 February 2011, Mw6.2-6.3 Christchurch earthquake is the most costly earthquake to affect New Zealand, causing 181 fatalities and severely damaging thousands of residential and commercial buildings, and most of the city lifelines and infrastructure. This manuscript presents an overview of observed geotechnical aspects of this earthquake as well as some of the completed and on-going research investigations. A unique aspect, which is particularly emphasized, is the severity and spatial extent of liquefaction occurring in native soils. Overall, both the spatial extent and severity of liquefaction in the city was greater than in the preceding 4th September 2010 Darfield earthquake, including numerous areas that liquefied in both events. Liquefaction and lateral spreading, variable over both large and short spatial scales, affected commercial structures in the Central Business District (CBD) in a variety of ways including: total and differential settlements and tilting; punching settlements of structures with shallow foundations; differential movements of components of complex structures; and interaction of adjacent structures via common foundation soils. Liquefaction was most severe in residential areas located to the east of the CBD as a result of stronger ground shaking due to the proximity to the causative fault, a high water table approximately 1m from the surface, and soils with composition and states of high susceptibility and potential for liquefaction.

  • Canterbury Residential Red Zone Household Hazardous Waste Project
    Canterbury Residential Red Zone Household Hazardous Waste Project The Canterbury Residential Red Zone Household Hazardous Waste Project was developed to support earthquake recovery by enabling the collection and appropriate disposal of hazardous materials from red zoned residential properties prior to demolition. The key purpose was to minimise the associated risks to human health and the environment. The devastating effects of the Canterbury Earthquakes of September 2010 and February 2011 continue to shape the city around us as Christchurch recovers. We have seen the overwhelming task of rebuilding a city realised, with a new precinct based central city, changes to transport networks and the re-zoning of land to manage new risks of liquefaction. On a daily basis the changes to the urban landscape remind us of the significance of the events that literally shape the redevelopment of Christchurch. Decimating the central business district and the majority of historic and tall buildings across the city, the earthquakes also had significant effects in the east and north east residential suburbs. Huge swathes of these suburbs, where liquefaction created a number of issues including the immediate disruption of services and damage to infrastructure, were subsequently assessed and rezoned for demolition, due the property damage which had occurred and instability of land. Affected properties were acquired (compulsorily) by the Crown to ensure the removal of the hazard posed by residential development on instable ground, creating the Canterbury Residential Red Zone (RRZ). The dispersion of people as a result of the earthquake and the restricted access meant that many of these properties were left in an as is state, still containing an undisturbed cache of personal possessions and household items, including hazardous substances and materials which would need appropriate disposal.

  • Residential Red Zone Fact Sheet
    23 June 2011 Residential Red Zone Fact Sheet Geotechnical engineers Tonkin & Taylor have assessed and mapped residential land damage caused by the Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. Some land in the Christchurch City and Waimakariri District areas has been so badly damaged by the earthquakes since 4 September 2010 it is unlikely it can be rebuilt on for a considerable period of time. Engineers have mapped these areas and categorised them as residential red zone. These properties are located in: • the east of Christchurch (along the Avon and in related areas usually associated with waterways or former waterways); • in the north-east of Christchurch (e.g. Brooklands); and • in the beach area of Waimakariri District (i.e. Kairaki Beach). There are currently about 5000 properties in the Christchurch City Council area and around 100 properties in the Waimakariri District Council area in the residential red zone. The criteria for defining areas as residential red zone are: • There is significant and extensive area wide land damage; • Most buildings are uneconomic to repair • There is a high risk of further damage to land and buildings from low- levels of shaking; and • The success of engineering solutions would be uncertain and uneconomic; and • Any repair would be disruptive and take a considerable period of time. In the residential red zone, area-wide land damage is so extensive there is an increased likelihood of further damage due to liquefaction and lateral spreading from the ongoing series of aftershocks. The 5.7 and 6.3 magnitude earthquakes on 13 June 2011 demonstrated this. Homeowners in the residential red zone face lengthy disruption that could go on for years.

  • Christchurch Retail, Red Zones and the Rebuild
    Strategic Consultancy Retail Intelligence Rome wasn’t built in a day: Christchurch Retail, Red Zones and the Rebuild www.joneslanglasalle.co.nz 2 Executive Summary: The prohibition of redevelopment in large parts of Christchurch is significantly impacting the shape of the urban environment of the city. This is being executed through the identification of Red Zones. The majority of the residential Red Zones are located in; the east of Christchurch (along the Avon and in related areas usually associated with waterways or former waterways); in the north-east of Christchurch (e.g. Brooklands); and in the beach area of Waimakariri District (i.e. Kairaki Beach). There are currently about 5,000 properties in the Christchurch City Council area and around 100 properties in the Waimakariri District Council area in the residential red zone. Future trends suggest: A hollowing out of the area of Christchurch around the Avon River. A population drift to the North of Christchurch A population drift to the Southwest of Christchurch A significant uplift in populations of the small towns around Christchurch Growth in retail spending in these areas will create additional demand for close to 80,000 sqm of retail space. Just over 40,000 sqm of retail development is currently in the pipeline suggesting there remain opportunities to tap into this growing demand profile heading forward. We see the greatest opportunities in the Supermarket / Grocery space, DIY, Home Furnishings and Food and Beverage sectors. This development is however not without its challenges as stakeholders in Christchurch remain prickly to proposed intensification at the periphery at what they often see is at the expense of the CBD.

It is the people, it is the people, it is the people Report Summary: Staying in the Red Zones Part 1 Introduction Körero whakataki The Canterbury earthquakes resulted in serious human rights challenges which the Human Rights Commission (the Commission) has been acting on and monitoring since September 2010. As a follow up to the Commission’s 2013 publication Monitoring Human Rights in the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery, this 2016 report focuses on the human rights impacts of the decision to classify certain land in Canterbury as red zoned—specifically for members of the small group of people who did not accept the Crown offer to purchase their red zoned property or vacant section, and who have continued to live on or own land in the now largely abandoned red zone areas. The report is based on results from surveys and interviews completed by people either living in or owning vacant land in Canterbury’s residential red zones (RRZs). Of the 103 people who responded to the Commission’s survey, 62 continued to live in the red zone, and 41 owned vacant land in the residential red zone in mid-2015.

  • Housing Affordability in Post-Earthquake Christchurch
    Housing Affordability in Post-Earthquake Christchurch John McDonagh, Lincoln University, Christchurch Prior to the devastating 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes, the city of Christchurch was already exhibiting signs of a housing affordability crisis. The causes and symptoms were similar to those being experienced in Auckland, but the substantial damage to the housing stock caused by the earthquakes added new dimensions and impetus to the problem. Large swathes of the most affordable housing stock in the east of the city were effectively destroyed by the earthquakes. In itself this would have pushed the mean house price upwards, but compounding problems exacerbated the situation. These include the price effects of reduced supply of both rented and owned housing and increased demand from both displaced residents and an influx of rebuild workers. The need for additional temporary housing while repairs were undertaken and the associated insurance pay-outs bidding up rents with improved rental returns leading to increased interest in property investment. Land supply constraints and consenting issues inhibiting the build of new housing and political infighting and uncertainty regarding the future of parts of the city leading to a flight of development activity to peripheral locations and adjoining local authorities. Concerns that the erosion of the city council rating base combined with inadequacy of insurance cover for infrastructure will lead to large rates increases, increased development costs and reduced amenities and services in future years. These and other issuers will be elaborated on in this paper with a view to exploring the way forward for affordable housing Christchurch City. 1960’s and the development of the eastern suburbs of Christchurch.

  • Initial Heritage Assessment for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority
    Initial Heritage Assessment for Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority RICHMOND RESIDENTIAL RED ZONE Heritage New Zealand File No. 33002-278 23 February 2015 The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA), on behalf of the Crown, has property ownership and management responsibilities for land purchased in the residential red zone. Under the Policy for Government Departments Management of Historic Heritage, 2004 all Government departments are to consider heritage values when acquiring, managing and disposing of land.1 Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga has a role under Cabinet requirement of 27 August 2007 (CAB min (07) 31/1a) and 11 April 2011 (DOM (11) 28) with regard to the proposed disposal of land in order that historic heritage values can be assessed. The 2011 review of Heritage New Zealand’s Crown Land Disposal notification process encouraged Heritage New Zealand to assist government departments to prepare heritage inventories and assessments prior to disposal. For this reason, Cabinet decided that ‘land previously assessed by the disposing agency and the New Zealand Historic Places Trust [now Heritage New Zealand] to be of low heritage significance being exempt from the process.’ Note that land and improvements with identified heritage values will be subject to the normal Heritage New Zealand Notification Process at the time of Crown disposal. Please refer to the attached guidelines. This pre-assessment provides a record of identified heritage at the current time that will inform the disposal process. The attached heritage assessment provides an initial assessment of ‘known’ heritage values of the residential red zone based on information held by Heritage New Zealand. It is an initial assessment only and is not intended to provide a detailed heritage assessment.
