Berkley to Annebrook Link Submission 1 3 2018-2028 10-YEAR PLAN SUBMISSION BY TAMAHERE COMMUNITY COMMITTEE QUESTION 7: DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIFIC TRANSPORT PROJECTS YOU THINK COUNCIL SHOULD CONSIDER? 1. PROPOSAL: BERKLEY AVENUE TO ANNEBROOK ROAD SHARED PATH Hamilton City Council should include a shared path from Berkley Avenue to Annebrooke Road link the city’s existing urban network at Silverdale to Waikato District’s growing rural network near Annebrooke Road, in part created by NZTA/Alliance with Expressway work, in part by Te Awa and in part by local Tamahere residents (by way of community run gully restorations accommodating shared paths) supported by Waikato District Council as part of their Long Term Trails Strategy. Preferred Option Figure 1: The preferred option is a shared path from Berkley Avenue to a planned link via Cambridge Road and along the Mangaharakeke Stream. 2. BENEFITS A continuous and well-connected cycle network has cross-boundary benefits for residents of Hamilton and Tamahere, providing safe cycling routes to school, off-road cycle commuter routes, and active recreation areas. Benefits to Hamilton residents from supporting the proposed connection include: = Health and safety benefits for HCC residents from access to Waikato’s extensive recreational network, loops and Tamahere school, Te Awa to Cambridge, etc. = Leveraging recreational & connectivity benefits from significant investment in Waikato District at low cost to HCC, incl. access on foot or by bike for HCC residents to new Destination Level Playpark & grounds at Tamahere Hub (due for completion Nov. 2018) = Supporting school, shops, and business destinations in Hamilton. = Congestion reduction in Hamilton from increased cycle commuting. Berkley To Annebrook Link Submission 1 3. BACKGROUND TO PROPOSAL 3.1. Options The options assessed include five routes branching from a shared path using the Mangaharakeke Stream Esplanade. The Cambridge Road option is preferred as the option with land available, at least cost and with manageable risks. This relies on space within the road reserve following construction of the Expressway. It would be likely to require retaining walls or structural work to get from the lower level at the gully up to the existing footpath and walkway in HCC. The ideal option would be a connection through private properties to Humare Park, but with eight properties and a cost risk, this is likely to be difficult to achieve. The second choice off road option would link to Cranwell Place close to the park, at comparable (15% more) cost to the Cambridge Road option, requiring purchase of a single property but also needing agreement relating to a shared vehicular access. 3.2. Future cycle network Proposed future network changes include: = Closure of vehicle access to Annebrook Road to/from Cambridge Road = Extension of Annebrook Road to Matangi Road = Future shared path along Mangaonua Stream Gully from Newell Road area through to Matangi Road/Morrinsville Rd area (Waikato DC side of City/District boundary) = Progressive extension of the Tamahere trails network, including connection from Mangaonua Stream Gully to Cherry Lane interchange and east-west link = Te Awa River Ride connection through Tamahere linking Cambridge and Hamilton = Shared path on south west side of Cambridge Road as part of Waikato Expressway. 3.3. LAND USE Hamilton has an urban density at around 8-10 households/ha in this area compared to Tamahere at 1-2households/ha. Based on urban density and 1km length, conservative use would mean an additional 35-40 pedestrians and 35-40 cyclist users/day, sufficient to generate around $1M in benefits. The school zone for Berkley Normal Middle School extends far east of the Hamilton City Boundary, including Tamahere and Tauwhare. Future residential development in the areas of Newell Road, Annebrook Road, and Matangi Road will include children who attend Berkley Normal Middle School and people commuting to Hillcrest shops, transport node, or further into Hamilton City. Figure 2: Berkley Normal Middle School Zone Berkley To Annebrook Link Submission 2 A continuous and well-connected cycle network has cross-boundary benefits for residents of both Silverdale and Tamahere areas, providing safe cycling routes to school, off-road cycle commuter routes, and active recreation areas. 4. OPTIONS CONSIDERED 4.1. Proposed Mangaharakeke Stream Esplanade Path The proposed closure of vehicle access to Cambridge Road at Annebrook Road will also restrict pedestrian and cyclist access to the southern extent of Hamilton City and the amenities at Hillcrest shopping centre, city parks, and Berkley Middle School. A stream esplanade path from Annebrook Road in the vicinity of the intersection with Cambridge Road, following the Mangaharakeke Stream esplanade behind Riverlea Wreckers and Neils Machinery to connect with Cambridge Road near the existing culvert, or to connect with the future long term shared path along the Mangaonua Stream esplanade. Cheaper construction may be practicable on flat, dry sections but the connections up gully slops from the gully to HCC destinations are likely to require a higher cost engineered solution. 4.2. Mangaharakeke Stream Esplanade - Waikato District This section of path is required to link to Annebrook Road for all of the options explored in this submission. Length: 620m. Land may be required for this section of path – no esplanade parcel is shown on the property boundaries as for other nearby sections of stream gully. The landowner has previously indicated a willingness to grant or vest the required land. 4.3. Cambridge Road (North side) Option Length: 340m. This length of path will require retaining walls to sidle along the existing steep embankment on the north side of Cambridge Road. Land needed is entirely within stream esplanade (gully) or existing Road Reserve. This path follows the stream gully from behind Neils Machinery to the existing road culvert at Cambridge Road. The path would then run along the north side of Cambridge Road (requiring retaining walls above and below the path), to connect to the existing footpath walkway that connects to Berkley Avenue. Widening and improvements to the existing footpath on Cambridge Road to connect with Hamilton City’s existing shared path facilities opposite McCracken Avenue would complete the connection to the existing cycle and pedestrian network. An underpass to access the south side of Cambridge Road for a lower cost path using existing footpath alignment and avoiding extensive retaining walls could link to planned shared path and Mangaonua Stream future path linking to Te Awa River Ride. An underpass option at Cambridge Road was considered and eliminated as part of Expressway options but remains in Tamahere Trails strategy. 4.4. Berkley Avenue Option Length: 350m (including 130m along Mangaonua Stream). Two properties potentially affected by this option. 4.5. Linthorpe Place Option Length: 360m (including 170m along Mangaonua Stream). Eight properties potentially affected by this option. Berkley To Annebrook Link Submission 3 4.6. Cranwell Place Option Length: 410m (including 380m along Mangaonua Stream). Either of two properties on Cranwell Place potentially affected by this option. It is likely that the entire residential property would have to be purchased as there is limited room to accommodate a public path within the existing property. The path would use an existing shared right of way servicing four properties. 4.7. Humare Park Option Length: 800m (including 400m along Mangaonua Stream). The path could pass through the gully area at the back of the properties on Cranwell Place or Beverly Crescent. Eight properties on Cranwell Place potentially affected by this option. Seven properties on Beverly Crescent potentially affected by this option. 5. EVALUATION OF OPTIONS The options are evaluated in the following table, including the Mangaharakeke Stream Esplanade section from Annebrook Road to the gully at Cambridge Road (behind Neils Machinery). The Cambridge Road option is preferred as the option with land available, at least cost and with manageable risks. This relies on space within the road reserve following construction of the Expressway. It would be likely to require retaining walls or structural work to get from the lower level at the gully up to the existing footpath and walkway in HCC. The ideal option would be a connection through private properties to Humare Park, but with eight properties and a cost risk, this is likely to be difficult to achieve. The second choice off road option would link to Cranwell Place close to the park, at comparable (15% more) cost to the Cambridge Road option, requiring purchase of a single property but also needing agreement relating to a shared vehicular access.

    1 A collection of communities…. One Community Plan for Eureka, Matangi, Newstead & Tauwhare 2013 - 2023 2 Contents page Introduction 3 Eureka Ward map 4 Community Plan achievements 5 Community Outcomes 7 Long Term Plan priority projects 9 Eureka Community 11 Matangi Community 18 Newstead Community 28 Tauwhare Community 35 Where to from here? 42 Committee contacts 42 3 Introduction In the1800s Hamilton was a mere village compared with settlements such as Napier, New Plymouth, Whanganui and Nelson. By 1911 its population was 3,542 – a little over half the size of Waihī, then a booming gold town of 6,436 people. Before Waikato dairy farming developed, Hamilton remained small. On the outskirts of Hamilton were huge swamps, which were drained only slowly. Militia settlers allocated land there usually departed, but some stayed, and farming settlements like Newstead, Tamahere and Matangi developed in the 1870s and 1880s. The Rukuhia estate of 6,000 hectares to the south-west and the Eureka estate of 35,000 hectares to the north-east were gradually subdivided. Tauwhare was surveyed in 1882, and the villages of Eureka and Gordonton grew from the 1890s. Today those farming settlements have evolved to form a transition between Hamilton City and the more rural areas within the Waikato District. In the Eureka Ward those areas include Eureka, Matangi, Newstead and Tauwhare. It is these four areas that this Community Plan focuses on. History of the Plans During 2004 through to 2007 Eureka, Matangi, Newstead and Tauwhare all developed community plans, to provide a clear direction for the future development of their communities.

  • The Country Lifestyle Community
    The country lifestyle community Draft Community Plan 2011-2021 Tamahere Community Logo The Tamahere Community logo has been designed to portray strength, growth, health, success, support and caring. The sun is to illustrate the story of Mahinarangi who carried her son, Raukawa, across the Waikato River and gave rise to the name Tamahere, which literally translated from Maaori means a “bound boy”. Mahinarangi and her husband, Turongo, are the ancestors of the Kiingitanga dynasty. Mahinarangi, to save Raukawa from drowning, tied him to her back as she swam across the river, near where the Narrows Bridge now stands. The large koru in the logo portrays her strength, courage and care for her child while she sheltered him from harm. The koru shape also suggests growth, prosperity and a sense of community spirit. The landscape shows the path to a bright future. It illustrates the Waikato River (linking to the story of Mahinarangi) and the country setting in which Tamahere stands - a growing environment for the community and its lifestyle. The bowl represents the strength and stability of its people who hold the community together. Vision “Tamahere is country lifestyle” Country lifestyle is all about: being a vibrant and safe community having a sense of privacy and space having pride in the local environment fostering community and sense of place preserving rural amenity and country living ambience. History of the plan The Tamahere Community Committee developed a community plan in 2004 which undertook a robust consultation process to provide clear direction for the future development of Tamahere. The plan was widely understood by the community and accepted as the vision and process for the future – the plan served as a focus to build a genuine heart for Tamahere.

  • Notable Trees
    F.1 Appendix F: Notable Trees F1 Criteria for Listing In order for all trees to be assessed on an equal basis and against objective criteria, the New Zealand Standard Tree Evaluation Method (STEM) has been adopted. Three major aspects of tree character are identified, each being divided into units that can be separately valued against a hypothetical perfect score of 30 points for each unit, as follows. Condition evaluation o Form o Occurrence o Vigour and vitality o Function o Age (years) o Stature (m) Amenity evaluation o Public accessibility o Visibility (from 1kilometre) o Proximity o Role o Climate Notable evaluation o Stature - Feature - Form o Historic - Age 100+ - Association - Commemoration - Remnant - Relic o Scientific - Source - Rarity - Endangered The threshold for determining if trees will be classed as notable trees is a minimum of 170 points. These trees are considered to be healthy and stable and have some outstanding features that contribute to the amenity and heritage of a neighbourhood and make a positive impact on the district.

  • A Tribute to Our Pioneering Families FOREWORD
    A tribute to our pioneering families FOREWORD SOME four years ago the cover of our monthly newsletter, the Eureka Express, depicted the first of a series of sketches of some of the district’s oldest homes which are still standing. From the research required to background these sketches the idea grew that it was time a more complete history of Eureka was recorded. However, the task proved far too time-consuming for our committee of busy wives and mothers. We needed a full-time journalist and, fortunately, two years ago one became available for nearly six months through a Labour Department scheme. We gained the services of Meena David, a qualified and experienced journalist just back from an overseas trip, whose sterling efforts saw our book take shape before she returned to Auckland to resume her career in journalism. Since then there has been a prolonged effort by part-time volunteers to complete the detail and prepare the text for publication. A debt of gratitude is owed Chris Irvine for his countless hours of research into Eureka’s titleholders and for his preparation of the accompanying maps to this section of the book. i Our sincere thanks for financial assistance must go to the MEENA DAVID Waikato Savings Bank, the Waikato County Council, the N.Z. Lottery Board and the Eureka Cull Cow Committee. MEENA DAVID was born in Madras, India, and educated there and in New Zealand. She graduated with a Bachelor of The assembling of this history has involved interesting Social Science from Waikato University, Hamilton, and later research and renewal of past contacts.

  • 15 July 2019 Gavin Ion Chief Executive Waikato District Council
    15 July 2019 Gavin Ion Chief Executive Waikato District Council Private Bag 544 Ngaruawahia 3742 Dear Gavin Further Submissions on the Submissions to the 2018 Waikato Proposed District Plan (Stage 1) Please find attached Hamilton City Council’s (HCC’s) further submissions on the Proposed Waikato District Plan submissions. We confirm that under the Resource Management Act Schedule 1, Clause 8, HCC is entitled to make further submissions as we represent a relevant aspect of the public interest and have a greater interest than the general public. In line with our original submission, our further submissions focus on HCC’s area of interest around Hamilton. HCC is not entirely opposed to the idea of changes that might provide opportunities for urban growth near Hamilton, particularly for some of the large‐scale zone change requests. However, we believe that it would be premature to make determinations on possible future growth areas in isolation from the collaborative sub‐regional growth management processes currently underway. We consider that the Hamilton to Auckland (H2A) Corridor and associated Metropolitan Spatial Plan projects are crucial to shaping the future of the sub‐region. This work is currently investigating opportunities for growth. It is expected to take shape over the latter half of 2019, with outcomes of the Metropolitan Spatial Plan expected in early 2020; the wider H2A corridor programme continues over several years and contains a range of other initiatives. We support the decision that your District Plan hearings will be timed to allow for the Metropolitan Spatial Plan outcomes to be available during the preparation for District Plan hearings and subsequent decisions.
