CONFIRMED THIS 24 DAY OF JUNE 2013 MAYOR 4 5 COUNCIL 24. 6. 2013 – 26. 6. 2013 3. RELOCATION OF THE CHRISTCHURCH KART CLUB AND THE CANTERBURY GREYHOUNDS, CARRS RESERVE, HALSWELL General Manager responsible: General Manager, Strategy and Planning Group, DDI 941-8281 Officer responsible: City Planning Unit Manager Author: Marie Pollisco, Policy Planner and Brent Smith, Team Leader Network Planning – Greenspace PURPOSE OF REPORT 1. To seek direction on whether the Council should support the relocation of the Christchurch Kart Club’s and the Canterbury Greyhounds’ tracks and associated facilities from their current sites at Carrs Reserve, Halswell to alternative suitable sites. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Requirement to Provide Residential Housing 2. At the time the Awatea Plan Change was being processed, the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy (UDS) and Proposed Change 1 (PC1) to the Canterbury Regional Policy Statement (RPS) identified that the Awatea area (known as CSW2 under PC1) should accommodate approximately 1,210 households based on the density requirement of 15 households per hectare under Policy 11 of PC1. 3. Plan Change 5 (PC5) Awatea to the Christchurch District Plan, became operative on July 2011 and provides an estimated 1126-1941 households in a range of residential densities. 4. PC5 Awatea was developed on the basis that the Kart Club’s track and facilities would be operating for some time and due to noise reverse sensitivity issues the residential land south of CSM surrounding Carrs Reserve would not be suitable for conventional residential use. However, if the Kart Club was relocated in the future, an estimated minimum of 386 and a maximum of 673 households could be developed on residential land south of the CSM. Until that occurred, there would be limited potential for residential development on land surrounding Carrs Reserve and this was to be managed through the non-complying activity status applying to such activities. Residential land north of the CSM provides for an estimated minimum of 740 and a maximum of 1,268 households. 5. The non-complying status for residential activity in Awatea applies only to land south of CSM, which is identified in PC1 for the purpose of Greenfield residential development. In terms of appropriate land use and in consideration of the sustainable use of land within the City boundary, it is more appropriate that this land be developed for urban residential purposes, rather than continuing to be used for rural-residential purposes, potentially until 2054. Carrs Reserve 6. Carrs Reserve is located in Halswell, south of the CSM. Two tenants currently occupy Carrs Reserve: The Christchurch Kart Club Incorporated (‘the Kart Club’) and the Canterbury Greyhounds Breeders, Owners and Trainers Association Incorporated (‘the Greyhounds’) (see Attachment 1 for location plan). Kart Club 7. In September 2012 the Kart Club entered into a conditional Sale and Purchase Agreement with a landowner at McLeans Island for the relocation site of its track and associated facilities. The agreement is subject to several conditions, including: The Kart Club securing all of the necessary consents, approvals and authorities on conditions to the Club (within 5 years of the September 2012 Agreement), namely: (a) A subdivision consent; 6 COUNCIL 24. 6. 2013 – 26. 6. 2013 3 Cont’d (b) A land use resource consent to permit the operation of a kart track, associated buildings and facilities on the site with provision for a minimum consent period of 5 years to allow for completion of the project; (c) Water rights, water discharge and effluent discharge approvals and consents from Environment Canterbury; (d) Authorities/consents as required from the Christchurch Airport Company; (e) A Funding Agreement with the Christchurch City Council and issue of building consents for the move to the site of the Kart Club’s present Carrs Road facilities to enable the Club to complete construction of facilities and install services that comply with current Kart Sport New Zealand A-Grade track rating and building requirements; (f) Such other approvals, consents and authorities as may be required to enable the subdivision, development, relocation and establishment of the Kart Club operation from the Carrs Road site to the land to be acquired …. Greyhounds 8. Relocating the Canterbury Greyhounds is not an impediment to residential development for the Awatea Greenfield Area south of CSM, as with the Kart Club. However, including the Greyhounds in the relocation proposal is seen to be favourable. If both the Greyhounds and the Kart Club are relocated, this will enable the entire Carrs Reserve to be redeveloped as an open space area mainly for different passive recreation uses, creating a corridor between the Heathcote and Halswell Rivers, as envisaged under the South-West Christchurch Area Plan (SWAP). Sports park development is potentially to be undertaken on the Fulton Hogan land development at Halswell West. 9. Investigations on the relocation of the Greyhounds were initiated prior to the September 2010 Canterbury earthquake. After the Greyhounds’ tracks were partly damaged by the earthquake events they were shown Council-owned properties at Templeton. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS 10. Relocating the tracks and associated facilities of the Kart Club and Greyhounds will require commitment from the Council in regard to funding for resource consent costs and for relocation. Redevelopment of Carrs Reserve for open space purposes is a Capital Expenditure and is not included in the draft 3-Year Plan. While funding for the Kart Club’s consent is budgeted for from the Operational Planning Budget, funding for its physical relocation (ie, replacement of its existing A-rated track and facility) is still subject to the Council’s approval of the draft Three Year Plan. 11. As the Kart Club has an existing long-term lease on Carrs Reserve until 2054, they could seek monetary compensation to surrender their lease. Discussions with the club have however thus far progressed on the basis that in compensation for surrender of their lease, Council will fund the replacement “A-Rated” track and facilities on another site. 12. The estimated total cost to build the Kart Club’s replacement A-rated track and facility is $3,500,000 exclusive of GST. The track costs include ground works, sealed track, pit area, boundary fences, gates, drainage, spectator seating, track accessories crash barriers, start lights, lane marking, transponder loops, etc. The building costs include the control tower, stewards’ room for hearings, technical room, scrutineering shed, scales area, impound, club room (excluding fit-out), toilets, small kitchen, passage/entry, changing room, professional fees and building consents. Until a more detailed scheme assessment and costing has been undertaken, a 15 per cent contingency has been included in the total estimate. 13. Likely implications for future operational and capital expenditure in the LTP, in terms of both relocating the Kart Club and redeveloping Carrs Reserve, were presented to Council before they elected to publicly notify PC5 Awatea.

    DISTRICT PLAN –LISTED HERITAGE PLACE HERITAGE ASSESSMENT – STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE HERITAGE ITEM NUMBER 230 SIGN OF THE TAKAHE AND SETTING – 200 HACKTHORNE ROAD,CHRISTCHURCH PHOTOGRAPH: M.VAIR-PIOVA, 5/01/2015 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. The Sign of the Takahe has high historical and social significance for its association with politician and conservationist Harry Ell (1862-1934) and as a key element within his visionary Summit Road scheme. The great life-long preoccupation of Ell, who served both as a central and local government politician, was the promotion of a summit road from Godley Head to Akaroa, providing public access to all parts of the Port Hills. Resthouses would be distributed along the route, offering refreshments and modest accommodation. The Summit Road Association was founded by Ell in 1909 to foster the objective, and although the ambitious project was incomplete at the time of his death, he had seen a substantial portion of his scheme to fruition, including the establishment of four resthouses: the Signs of the Kiwi, Bellbird, Packhorse and Takahe. The Sign of the Takahe was planned from the beginning to be the largest and most important of the resthouses. Construction of the building, begun in 1918, was sufficiently advanced for Page 1 the Tram Terminus Resthouse, as it was then known, to open for business in 1920. Argument, financial difficulty, depression and war delayed completion, however, and it was not until 1948 that the building was finally finished.
