·    Had been working on the Millers Flat Sports and Recreation Hub project, noting they had received letters of support from members of the community, and had already received some external funding.  It was noted that there would be no cost the council, as they have indication from external funders they will support the project. The committee would maintain much of the area so that would reduce council maintenance costs.  The total budget of $600,000 was all hoped to be received from external funders and local support.  There would be another community meeting and it had been advertised in the Teviot Bulletin and once the final design plans are finalised they will go back to the community to seek feedback.

25.2.2         Proposed Millers Flat Sports and Recreation Hub

Doc ID:      2394351

Report Author:

Gordon Bailey, Parks and Recreation Manager

Janice Remnant, Asset Management Team Leader - Property

Reviewed and authorised by:

David Scoones, Group Manager - Community Experience

 

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To consider a proposal to redevelop the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve.

 

Recommendations

That the Teviot Valley Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Agrees to the redevelopment of the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve in line with the proposals put forward by the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve Steering Group depicted in plans attached to this report.

C.      Notes that Council funding is not being sought for this project.

D.      Authorises the Chief Executive to do all that is necessary to give effect to the resolution.

 

 

2.       Background

 

A local steering group of residents of the wider Millers Flat area have been working to develop a plan to upgrade the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve. The reserve is classified for recreation purposes under the Reserves Act 1977.

 

The reserve currently consists of the local war memorial, children’s playground, 2 tennis courts, and the former bowling green. The former Bowling Clubrooms (the Clubrooms) sit on a section of unformed legal road which is not legally part of the reserve land.

 

The Teviot Valley Ward Reserve Management Plan 2014 mentions that future development opportunities exist for;

-     Community upgrade of Tennis court facilities

-     Close section of unformed road and classify as Recreation Reserve.

 

Under Councils District Plan the reserve has the following designation.

-     Designation 112 – “Recreation purposes, recreation reserve”

-     Heritage site 83 – War Memorial

 

As the land is Council owned any redevelopment requires Councils approval regardless of whether funding is sought or not.

 

3.       Discussion

 

The steering group have provided additional information for their plans see Appendix 1.

 

In summary the group wish to develop new courts on the old bowling green site, a pump track on one of the old tennis courts and relocation and upgrade of the playground to the rear of the war memorial. Appendices 2 and 3 show the overall landscape plan options for the site.

 

The proposal is consistent with the Reserve Management Plan for this site and are essentially a redevelopment of existing assets within the reserve area.

 

There is a question mark over the old clubrooms. As shown below the clubrooms and part of the old Bowling green are on a section of unformed legal road. The adjacent land on the river side is Crown Land.

 

Construction of any recreational assets will need to be within the reserve land area and not cross the boundary.

 

 

Through the Long-Term Plan 2025/34 Council has included the Clubrooms in its consultation document as a potential asset to divest. The outcome of that process will not be known until June 2025.

 

Whatever the outcome of this consultation there are Council operated public toilets directly across the road from the reserve available for use should the Clubrooms be demolished.

 

 

Investigation have been undertaken to determine the process to stop the unformed legal road the clubrooms sit on.

 

The steering group have expressed an interest to potentially utilise the clubrooms as a pavilion and storage facility. However, the following issues have been identified should the building be retained.

 

 

Road Stopping

The clubrooms are built on unformed Legal Road. The road can be stopped and transferred to the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve at nil cost for the value of the land. But there will be costs incurred to survey the unformed legal road and amalgamate the titles.

 

If the clubrooms are demolished, then there will be no requirement to stop the road but it would be prudent to formally stop the road and add it to the reserve.

 

Retaining Wall

The geotechnical engineer has identified the existing retaining structure is not fit for purpose due to the following reasons:

·    Lateral leaning of the posts

·    Unsuitably spaced posts

·    Potentially undersized posts

·    Unsuitable rails

·    The level of treatment of the existing timber

·    Post embedment depth just upslope of a 2m height near vertical drop close to the Clutha River

 

For the reasons above, the retaining wall needs to be replaced to an engineered standard requiring a building consent.

 

The current estimated quote for the initial soil testing and reporting is $4,000. The retaining wall design and specification based on a construction methodology using timber poles is estimated at $4,000 (to be confirmed following soil testing).

 

Irrespective of the building being retained or not, the 2m drop off the retaining wall needs to be fenced to ensure the safety of the users of the reserve.

 

Until the design and specification report is funded and made available the cost to build the retaining wall and fence is unknown.

 

Stormwater

Currently water is being discharged onto the neighbouring Crown Land and needs to be redirected to comply with current building standards. No costings have been obtained to date for this work.

 

Clubrooms

In the draft Long-term Plan, a budget of $115k has been allocated for demolition costs but is subject to the consultation process.

 

The steering group have indicated that they may like to retain the use of the clubrooms.  They propose to take responsibility for the internal maintenance costs of the building and the expectation that Council will undertake the exterior building maintenance work. It is noted that the clubrooms is not an essential element of the wider reserve redevelopment which will happen regardless of the clubrooms future.

 

It has been identified in the building inspection report that the wooden window frames are compromised and need to be replaced, it is unknown if the deterioration exceeds into the wall framing.

 

The report also identifies the spouting above the shed has rusted out effecting the end rafter in this area.  There is also historic water damage as a result of the loose roofing iron over the changeroom and toilet area located beside the shed.

 

Should the building be retained a formal agreement between both parties will be required and associated costs budgeted for.

 

If the clubrooms are to be demolished, the steering group have indicated they would like to retain the storage shed changeroom and toilet.

 

The steering group have indicated that should the decision post consultation be to demolish the clubrooms they are committed to develop the reserve as proposed.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

Reserve Development Proposal

The steering group have advised that the entire project will cost in the vicinity of $650,000. The majority of that will be sought from third part funding organisations. Council has not been asked for any funding towards this project as the group are confident, they can raise the money required.

 

Council under its Open Spaces contract currently maintains the reserve area Council will still need to undertake 2 weekly playground safety checks on the playground and will have mowing and spraying equipment doing the cemetery, lions park etc, so do not anticipate any great change in costs with your proposal.

 

A slight potential increase could be in maintaining the artificial court surface which from time to time requires specialist care specified by the manufacturer – Council contractors undertake this work on the other artificial surfaces across the district and have all the gear. In summary it is anticipated the proposal can be accommodated within existing budgets. If it can’t then a discussion on assistance from the community would be required.

 

The Millers Flat Recreation Reserve Fund has a balance of $88,000. This fund has come from depreciation of the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve. The depreciation has been levied against the tennis courts, war memorial, seats and playground.

 

Depreciation money cannot be used as a grant, but the Board could decide to use it to contribute directly to the purchase of required play equipment for example. Further

discussion with the group may be required depending on if funding targets are achieved or not.

 

Retention of the Clubrooms

A capex budget allocation will be required for inclusion in the Long-term Plan if Council resolves to retain the Clubrooms.

 

There is no budget allocated to:

·    Stop the unformed road

·    Design, build the retaining wall and fence

·    Divert and dispose of the water discharge

 

The existing operational budget to demolish the clubrooms could be re-allocated to fund the road stopping and ongoing operational costs associated with the retention of the building.

 

 

5.       Options

 

Option 1 – (Recommended)

 

Approve the re development of the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve.

 

 

Advantages:

 

·        Funding potentially not required from Council

·        Community group empowered to continue with the project

·        Committed funding won’t be lost

·        Community asset is enhanced and no direct cost to the ratepayer

 

Disadvantages:

 

·        Uncertainty that all funding can be achieved

 

Option 2

 

Do not approve the re development of the Millers Flat Recreation Reserve Advantages:

 

·        No advantages are identified from this option

 

Disadvantages:

 

·        Third party funding options will be lost

·        Community input will not be recognised

 

 

6.       Compliance

 

Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions

This decision enables democratic local decision making and action by, and on behalf of communities by providing the local community with the support they required to enhance the local reserve.

 

Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc.

 

Teviot Valley Ward Reserve Management Plan 2014

District Plan

 

Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts

No impacts envisaged.

 

Risks Analysis

Risk identified is that if all the money is not sourced from third party funding agencies Council may be asked to fund the shortfall.

 

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external)

Not significant and consistent with existing Reserve Management Plan that has been consulted on with the community.

 

 

 

7.       Next Steps

 

Council will consider submissions on future of Millers Flat Bowling clubrooms.

 

Council staff to continue to work with the Steering group to ensure best outcomes are achieved.

25.2.3         Speed Management Consultation Proposal

Doc ID:      2403364

Report Author:

Holly Laverick, Roading Asset Engineer

Reviewed and authorised by:

Quinton Penniall – Infrastructure Manager

 

 

1.       Purpose of Report

 

To consider and provide feedback on the updated speed limit proposals for the Central Otago District noting no proposed changes for the Teviot Valley. 

 

Recommendations

That the Teviot Valley Community Board

A.      Receives the report and accepts the level of significance.

B.      Notes Council will be considering a report for speed limit changes for the district, with no local road changes in the Teviot Valley.  

 

 

2.       Background

 

In 2023-2024, Central Otago District Council (CODC) consulted on a draft Speed Management Plan (SMP). This was later approved by both Council and the New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA). As discussed in the Report for Information to Council on 18 December 2024, the release of the Land Transport Rule: Setting of Speed Limits 2024 (the Rule) nullified the Speed Management Plan before the speed limit changes could be implemented. A copy of the report is attached.

 

 

3.       Discussion

 

Due to the strong public support shown for the previous Speed Management Plan, Council will be presented with a proposal to re-consult with the community and stakeholders. Where possible, the new proposals match the previous. However, requirements under the new Rule have led to the amendment, removal or addition of some speed zones.


The new setting of speed limits rule takes a prescribed approach to permanent speed limits, by designating speed ranges for different road classes. The updated speed limit proposals align with these new standards. Please refer to Appendix 2: Speed Management Proposals – Maps

 

Some changes from the previous Speed Management Plan include:

·    Cambrians speed limit reduced to 30km/h, rather than 40km/h.

·    St Bathans speed limits now ranging from 30-60km/h.

·    Inclusion of the Pisa Moorings 40km/h speed zone (in part).

·    Option to consult on both 60km/h or 80km/h on Maori Point Road.

·    Inclusion of Munro Road, Church Lane and Jolly Road – proposed at 80km/h to align with State Highway 8 speed zone.

·    Two partial reversals of existing speed limits: Shortening the previous 50km/h zones to match the road class on Earnscleugh Road and Ranfurly-Patearoa Road.

·    Removal of some speed limits that are no longer compliant under the Rule, including Partridge Road, Sunderland Street (north end) and Fruitgrowers Road.

 

The new speed limit rule increases public consultation requirements. Despite the robust public consultation undertaken by Council for the previous SMP, the submission feedback will not be accepted by the NZTA. The consultation time frame has increased to six weeks (previously four). Additional information is also required, including cost-benefit disclosure statements, which is a breakdown of the travel time impacts, implementation costs and safety impacts of each individual road rather than the wider proposed speed area, as was previously allowed.

 

 

4.       Financial Considerations

 

The consultation and subsequent signage installation costs will be met by existing roading budgets.

 

 

5.       Options

 

Option 1 – (Recommended)

 

Recommend to Council the complete list of proposed speed limits.

 

Advantages:

 

·        More efficient public consultation process, considering the increased timeframes under the new Rule.

·        Better potential speed limit outcomes for the wider district.

·        Reduced likelihood of service requests from communities with previously approved speed limit reductions.

·        New plan includes additional speed proposals, highlighted by recent service requests.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·        Negative public opinion – due to recent consultation on a broadly similar proposal.

·        Higher preliminary workload than “do nothing” option. (Significant increase in information to support the consultation is now required.)

 

Option 2

 

Do nothing.

 

Advantages:

 

·        No costs associated with preliminary work, consultation and implementation.

 

Disadvantages:

 

·        Worse speed / safety outcomes for the district.

·        Inconsistent speed zones near certain schools (Omakau and Tarras).

·        Community dissatisfaction in areas where there has been strong advocacy for speed reductions.

 

6.       Compliance

 

Local Government Act 2002 Purpose Provisions

This decision enables democratic local decision making and action by, and on behalf of communities by meeting the requirements of the Local Government Act 2002, Section 82 Principles of Consultation.

 

Decision consistent with other Council plans and policies? Such as the District Plan, Economic Development Strategy etc.

Yes - The proposed speed limits are aimed to align the requirements of the Land Transport Rule with the adjacent land use under the District Plan.

 

Considerations as to sustainability, the environment and climate change impacts

A 2023 NZTA-commissioned report titled “Effect of speed on greenhouse gas emissions from road transport: a review” concludes that speed limit reductions in urban environments have a negligible impact to emissions. Reductions of higher speeds (i.e. 100km to 80km) slightly minimises emissions. The proposed changes are not expected to have any meaningful impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

 

Overall, there are limited sustainability, environmental or climate change impacts related to the decision – the only material change is the installation of signs.

Risks Analysis

 

 

 

Lower speed limits can reduce the number and severity of crashes. Aligning speeds to match the hazards associated with certain traffic volumes, vehicle types and land uses will have safety benefits, particularly for vulnerable road-users (pedestrians and cyclists etc).

 

The two proposed speed increases are intended to provide consistency across the network. The current extents are inconsistent with the hazards present. Correcting these lengths is anticipated to improve adherence in areas of higher overall risk.

Significance, Consultation and Engagement (internal and external)

The speed limit changes will affect many regular road users, including non-motorised users. It is important that affected parties are provided the opportunity to review the proposals and present their view. This includes communities, businesses and freight operators who will be able to provide comment through the consultation process.

 

 

7.       Next Steps

 

·    Community Board Feedback (March 2025 round)

·    Report to Council (statement of proposal for consultation)

·    Consultation period

·    Speed Limit Hearing

·    Report to Council (adoption of Alternative Method Proposal – equivalent to SMP under the Rule)

·    Submission to NZTA

·    Implementation

Update on the Teviot Valley Community Plan

 

Community Plans are about obtaining local peoples’ views on the place that they call home. It involves celebrating the things that make their community special and creating a vision of what the community would like for the future.

From this vision, the community can identify actions to be carried out to achieve it.  The Community Development Team has commenced work on updating the Teviot Valley and Roxburgh Community Plan.

A work programme has been drafted and will involve having a series of conversations with the Teviot Valley community, including community groups, residents and businesses.  These conversations will build on the work undertaken on the Teviot Valley Spatial Plan and will identify priorities and opportunities for the future of the Teviot Valley. Staff will be at the meeting to provide further information.

 

Status Reports

The status reports have been updated with any actions since the previous meeting
