Christchurch Replacement District Plan

How IURRA saw the process initially

but it soon became …….

And eventually…..

The process:

Variously described as:

“Impossible to keep up with”

“A shambles”

“Ridiculous”

The process (cont)

It could equally be described as:

Lacking in Fairness and Equity

The process (cont)

Should be about the citizens of Christchurch.

Not just those organisations thathave sufficient personnel and financial resources to participate.

The outcome

The public are reliant on the Panel to:

Ensure that the outcome of the process is Fair and Equitable to all

And does not favour vested interests over those of the general citizenry.

Definitions: “Education Activity”

Pre-schools

Primary Schools

Secondary Schools

But Tertiary education is quite different.

Because …..

Large both physically and in student numbers.

Daily timescales of activities much wider.

Movement of students occurs throughout the day.

Numbers of pedestrian, cyclist and vehicle movements and associated parking requirements are significantly greater.

Quasi commercially driven organisations.

(Chapter 6: Rule 6.4.2.1.3)

“The rules under this clause (Chapter 6, Clause 6.4) shall cease to have effect on 30th April 2018 6. An extension of up to 30th April 2018 may be provided at the discretion of the Council.

In reaching its decision on an extension application the Council shall consider: the level of evidence for the necessity for the extension

including evidence of the consideration of alternatives. the impacts of the activity. the potential effectiveness and timing of any proposed

impact mitigation methodology.

Lets hope that the final version of the District Plan doesn’t result in this sort

of outcome !!

Suddenly an argument broke about between the King and the Moat Contractor.
