Month: December 2017

Board meeting outcomes: At last week’s meeting, the Papanui-Innes Community Board: approved recommended stopping/parking restrictions and bus shelters; approved applications to the Discretionary Response Fund and Positive Youth Development Fund; and received a report on congestion in Paparoa Street (“…the roads around Paparoa Street School have sufficient traffic calming to ensure a low speed environment. Congestion can be expected during school pick-up and dropoff times”). The Board will request information from the Council’s Smart Cities team regarding the possibility of a virtual reality project which could introduce children to the cycle journey experience to their school. The Board will next meet on 9 February 2018. Click through to read the full minutes:

Mayor Lianne Dalziel has responded to the Papanui-Innes Community Board’s concerns (first reported in September 2017) over the decrease of around $85,000 in Council funding for local community organisations. In this week’s Nor’West News Ms Dalziel is quoted as saying that the new process to allocate funding is an improvement over the previous ‘ad hoc’ system.

At the extraordinary meeting on 1 December, the Papanui-Innes Community Board approved the landscape plan for the MacFarlane Park project. This clears the way for the Council to receive a building at no cost, to be used as a facility for the Shirley community. The report for the gifting of the facility to the Council will go to the Council meeting of 7 December 2017 for a final decision, and work is also underway to secure a resource consent for the project.

Christchurch residents are being asked by the Council to reduce water consumption. “Our advice is to either water your garden before 6am or after 9pm and to use a trigger gun nozzle on your hose or a watering can so you only target the plants that really need it. To conserve water we are encouraging residents not to water their grass or their berms and to try and limit watering the garden to every second day.” Click through for more…
