Message from the Community Advocate

The Hagley/Ferrymead Advocacy Team serves as partof an integrated, community-focused Council Unitresponsible for building relationships with Citizens andcommunities.

Our team is available to act as the direct link to thecommunity for all Council functions. In this way we act asadvocates for the community in ensuring that yoursuggestions, needs and concerns are addressed. Asadvocates for the Council we ensure that Councilinformation and outcomes are known, and that residentsare provided with access to the Council’s decision-makingprocesses. Part of our work is support for the Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board, ie your elected members.In this role, we work closely with the Board assisting elected members in networkingand discussion with a wide range of groups or individuals in the community.

Work typically related to the above support involves seeking community views on awide range of issues, assisting with the implementation and/or overview of Councilprojects (such as roading, parks and community support services), and assistingwith determining and the prioritising of projects of a local nature. In all of this activitywe also maintain strong links with our colleagues in the Council’s various businessunits.

The Advocacy Team welcomes your enquiries seeking information or access to yourlocal Community Board, or to other Units of the Council.

The Team also holds a responsibility for community development at a local level. Anoutcome from efforts in this direction will often see us as part of your communityworking together to achieve agreed ends. While the Team already has a number ofestablished contacts and contact groups in the community, the challenge is to maintainthese relationships and to enhance our network to embrace further partnershippossibilities.

The Community Advocacy team is here to provide support and guidance in buildingongoing relationships between the Council and the community. We welcome theopportunity to sit down with any of you to discuss matters related to achieving thisend.

Introduction

ChairpersonHagley/Ferrymead Community Board

The purpose of this Community Plan is to let thecommunity know what the Council and Community Boardintend to do in the Hagley and Ferrymead Wards in the1999/2000 year and in the following years.

Each year the Council issues an Annual Plan coveringthe whole city. This Community Plan contains extractsfrom Volume 2 of the Council’s Annual Plan which referto local projects and expenditure, and some metropolitanprojects and expenditure of particular significance to theHagley/Ferrymead community. It also contains additionalinformation relevant to the community which is notcontained in the Annual Plan.

The Council hopes that this will assist community participation in the planning offuture Council activities and expenditure by all users of Council facilities and services.

The Community Board objectives for the year have been formulated following extensiveconsultation with community groups and a range of stakeholders in the two wards.The Board’s objectives and its allocation of funds to specific projects which meetthese objectives are detailed on pages 45-46, and 50-51. In addition to the projectfunds already allocated, the Board has $50,000 in discretionary funds for allocationthroughout the year.

The Community Plan is accompanied by two further volumes, 1 and 2, of the Council’sAnnual Plan. These deal with the wider metropolitan issues and include the Council’sbudget for the whole city.

As Chairman of the Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board I welcome your participationin planning for the future of your community, as do all members of this Board.

The Board has an important role in representing the views of residents of the Hagleyand Ferrymead wards. It has a wide range of delegated powers in relation to localmatters and in an advisory or advocacy role in relation to metropolitan matters thataffect us locally.

Residents’ Groups

What is a residents’ group?

Residents’ groups exist to provide support and assistance to their neighbourhood.

They have a common purpose and set out to achieve a common goal. They may be

set up to provide recreation activities, eg playgroups, or in response to a perceived

threat to the stability or character of a neighbourhood, eg saving an historic building.

Their primary purpose is to provide a focus for the needs and aspirations of the

residents of an area.

Maps detailing the areas covered by existing residents’ groups, together with contact

names, are shown on pages 21 to 28.

Residents’ groupsformation and recognition

1. The Christchurch City Council encourages the formation of local residents’

groups.

2. Local residents’ groups are able to apply to their Community Board for

recognition as an ‘official’ residents’ group for their area.

3. Residents’ group boundaries within each community are determined by the

appropriate Community Board.

4. Such groups, upon recognition, receive the right to be consulted by the Council

on all work planned within their boundaries.

5. The Council provides free typing and photocopying for official residents’ groups,

within limits approved by the Advocacy Team.

Residents’ Groups cont’d ...

Service Centre Support forResidents’ Groups

The Linwood Service Centre, in conjunction with the Hagley/Ferrymead Community

Board, is able to offer the following support to recognised residents’ groups:

l A modest allocation of photocopying without cost, up to a maximum of 600

single-sided or 400-double sided A4 copies per month, and some assistance

with typing.

l Because of the many demands upon the time of the Council’s staff, a

reasonable lead time for typing and photocopying is needed - at least three

days.

l Assistance to community groups to meet to discuss and meet community

challenges.

l Assistance with the setting up of new residents’ groups.

The Linwood Service Centre support for Hagley/Ferrymead residents’ groups is aimed

at improving residents’ groups profiles and at keeping members of the community

informed about community groups and initiatives.

what community groups are in your suburb (eg pre-school groups in Linwood), contact

or call into the Linwood Service Centre.

children with a well-rounded programme which includes arts and craft activities,

outings and physical activities (orienteering, kiwisport).

giving children the opportunity to meet new friends.

The Linwood Service Centre also has information on holiday programmes run by the

local community.

Geographical Features ofSignificance

Avon RiverNamed by the Deans brothers after a stream near their home in Ayrshire, Scotland,

and not after the Avon at Stratford. There were, however, early attempts to have it

named the Shakespeare.

Cave RockTopped with the flagmast that signalled the state of the bar to ships approaching the

Estuary, Cave Rock is a large deposit of volcanic lava forming a spacious sea cave.

Maori legend says the rock is a whale cast up on the shore as a result of the magic

of Te Ake, attempting to avenge the death of his daughter.

The EstuaryThe Avon-Heathcote Estuary is relatively young, probably formed only 450 years ago.

The estuary covers 880 hectares (2,174 acres) and is of significance to the people of

Christchurch for its geological, ecological and recreational attributes.

Godley HeadNamed after John Robert Godley, leader of the Canterbury settlement, Godley Head

is the northern point at the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour.

Cave Rock and Sumner Beach

Hagley ParkHagley Park is the most significant

metropolitan park in Christchurch. Centrally

located within the city, Hagley Park is

renowned for its extensive area, its wide

open spaces and mature woodlands. Hagley

Park is also a major sporting and cultural

focal point. It offers a diverse range of

entertainment, sport and recreational

opportunities within close proximity to the

city centre. The Botanic Gardens adjoin

Hagley Park and are noted for their

landscaping and for the wide range of plant

species grown.

Heathcote RiverThe Heathcote River follows a course over 25km long, running from Halswell to the

rocky base of St Andrew’s Hill where it discharges into the Estuary.

Moa Bone CaveMoa Bone Cave, just beyond the eastern end of the Causeway at Redcliffs, opens on

to the roadway. This is one of the oldest sites of human habitation in New Zealand,

having provided a home and shelter to Moa Hunter Maori, possibly as long as 1,000

years ago. The giant moa, now extinct, and the seashore provided abundant sources

of food.

Shag Rock

Shag Rock, named by Pakeha in 1855, is a prominent feature of the Sumner scene

and rises to 11.7 metres above the sea. It was known to Maori as Rapanui, a name

which comes from Hawaiki, the ancient Maori homeland.

Sumner

The settlement was named in 1850 after the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Sumner.

Taylors Mistake

The name supposedly derives from Captain Taylor of the American ship ‘Volga’ who

mistook the bay for the entrance to Lyttelton Harbour in 1858.

The bay was formed by the erosion of the main spur running down from Evans Pass.

There are two headlands - one ends in a high cliff between Whitewash Head and

Giant’s Nose and the other runs out to the lighthouse and becomes Godley Head.

The mouth of the Avon - Heathcote Estuary and Shag Rock - Rapanui

Community Pride Garden AwardsThe Community Pride Garden Award Scheme is a Council initiative to acknowledge

the contribution made to the Garden City image of Christchurch by many private

residential properties. Gardens are selected for these awards as part of the street

competition, which is a partnership between the Christchurch City Council and the

Christchurch Beautifying Association. The assessments are undertaken during the

months of December and January and are based on the following:

- Evidence of effort or improvements made to the garden and the effect on the

streetscape

- Overall tidiness of property/garden and evidence of community pride

- Horticultural/landscape impact of garden on street.

The owners of gardens selected are presented with a certificate which acknowledges

the effort and contribution made by the residents to maintaining the Garden City

image of Christchurch.

The Canterbury Horticultural Society and the Christchurch Beautifying Association

also run their own competitions. Interested home owners may enter these

competitions by contacting the two sponsoring organisations.

Heritage AwardsThe Hagley/Ferrymead Community Board Heritage Awards have been established to

Staff at the Linwood Service Centre are committed to keeping Hagley/Ferrymeadresidents’ groups informed about different Council issues arising. As a result,submissions on policy proposals, the Annual Plan and discussion documents areoften required.

Set out below are some basic guidelines to help you to make effective writtensubmissions, as often this is the only opportunity your organisation has to make itsviews heard.

1. Think before you writeHave a clear understanding about what has been proposed and why, and howit will affect your organisation, in addition to others in the community. Makesure you know when submissions are due to ensure you allow enough time forconsultation, writing, proofreading as well as posting.

2. Talk to others in your communityTalk to other people in your community to see who else is making a submission.You may be able to combine a submission or concentrate on points that are notbeing made by others.

3. Plan your submissionMake sure your submission includes an introduction incorporating details ofyou, your organisation and what your organisation does, the key points youwish to make, a summary and a conclusion.

If you are making submissions on a discussion paper begin by addressing themain issue with general comments and then make detailed comments onspecific points of the discussion paper.

Use headings, paragraphs and bullet points to emphasise the points you wantto make. Include diagrams, including graphs or cartoons if appropriate. Thishelps to make the submission clear and easy to read.

4. Check your submissionOnce completed check the submission for mistakes. A good approach is togive the submission to someone else to proofread.

5. Sending your submissionThink about sending your submission, if it is appropriate to do so, to otherCouncil Units, and to government departments, community groups, Ministersof the Crown or MPs. You may gain support and work more effectively bymaking such contact. Keep an original copy on file for reference.

6. Follow upOnce you have sent in your submission check to make sure it has been receivedand whether any additional information is required.

Check again later for progress so that you can arrange or attend meetings ormake further submissions.
