1 Public Forum
1.1 Margaret Eastwood and Molly Duncan
|
Margaret Eastwood and Molly Duncan, addressed the Board concerning planting and renaming of the Fairfield Tavern Reserve to William Martin Reserve. In providing background information, Mrs Duncan advised that the Martin family had owned the land long before the Fairfield Tavern was built there. The land was run as a nursery by William Martin and they felt that renaming the reserve would be a fitting tribute to a man who cared for the land for so many years. In addition to the proposed renaming of the reserve, Mrs Eastwood commented that they would like to see the plantings upgraded. She noted that there appeared to be a lack of maintenance at the reserve and that the 15 deciduous trees planted approximately five years ago had died despite being well staked with a coiled watering system in place and now needed removal. Mrs Eastwood commented that Mr Martin had planted many of the trees in the reserve, some of which were now 150 years old. In the late 1870’s he grafted the Rhododendron – Marquis of Lothian which was one of the oldest New Zealand raised Rhododendron hybrids. She suggested that it would be appropriate to plant some of those Rhododendrons within the reserve which they would like to see upgraded in general. Mrs Eastwood suggested that community volunteers could be called for to help with the planting and watering of plants in the reserve. |
1.2 Nic Le Brun
|
Nic Le Brun, Food Help, Dunedin addressed the meeting concerning the funding application from Food Help, Dunedin. Ms Le Brun commented that they provided one off emergency food parcels for families in need. The purpose was to help families which were just getting by and may have an unexpected expense e.g. a dentist bill, that would result in them being unable to buy food for that particular week. Ms Le Brun commented that they had helped 160 families since the organisation was founded one year ago. Interested families applied via the Food Help Facebook page. Mrs Le Brun commented that they helped people Dunedin wide and the $400 they applied for would provide assistance with 20 food parcels.

6 Funding Applications |
|
|
Three funding applications had been received for the Saddle Hill Community Board’s consideration. The Brighton Volunteer Fire Brigade requested $200.00 funding towards the purchase of two loud hailers for public announcements including civil defence emergencies.

The Board fully supported the initiative and agreed that they would like to personally support the project however they were concerned that the application did not fit the criteria for funding as the food parcels were not localised to the board area and the organisation was not a registered charity.

Moved (Keith McFadyen/ Leanne Stenhouse): That the Board:
a) Approves $500.00 towards the cost of providing 10 new yards at the grounds of Riding for the Disabled – Dunedin Group. Motion carried (SHCB/2017/008) |
7 Governance Support Officers's Report |
|
|
A report from the Governance Support Officer informed the Saddle Hill Community Board of activities relevant to the Board’s area including: a) Project Fund b) Draft Dunedin Destination Plan c) 2017 Community Boards Conference – it was agreed that members would consider whether they were interested in attending the conference and the outcome would be approved at the next meeting. d) Training for Community Board Chairs e) Proposed Reserves and Beaches Bylaw f) Action List Richard Saunders (Group Manager Transport) and Bruce Wood (Senior Contract Supervisor) were present to speak to the Transport items on the Action list and provided the following update. Brighton/Taieri Mouth Road slips – A Geotech investigation had taken place and a report was expected at the end of February, beginning of March at which time the information would be reviewed and any required action would be undertaken. Morris Road, Fairfield slip – A portion of Morris Road would need to be closed to enable the remedial work to be carried out. The residents of Coach Road had been notified as there would be a short term impact on traffic on their road. It was anticipated that the work would be completed within four weeks. Coach Road would be monitored to ensure the detour was operating safely. Brighton Road, Ocean View to Creamery Road- Delta had been requested to complete a hydrological report. Any appropriate work would be undertaken however it was noted that the culvert would always hold water as the outlet was higher than the drains. It was noted that a culvert inspection process was underway and when the results were known, a work programme would be set up. Walton Park Carpark– The carpark was scheduled to be completed by the end of June 2017. Main South Road, Brighton Road Intersection– Staff were waiting for NZTA to provide information on funding required to improve the intersection. Scroggs Hill Road/Allanton Scroggs Hill Road Intersection – design work was being undertaken and once completed the work would be programmed. It was anticipated that this would be undertaken late March/April. Westwood Layby Consultation– The design team had recommended that the ditch be moved closer to the properties and a layby created. Quotations were currently being sourced and consultation would occur with the property owners prior to the commencement of work. The Board requested that they were provided with a copy of the design plans. Blackhead Road walking path – A survey had been completed and it was anticipated that a walking/riding track similar to the Green Island to Waldronville walkway would be constructed. Due to the boundary of properties further work was required to be undertaken prior to finalisation of the path. Road Sealing – Transport prepared a list of unsealed roads with a case for sealing. They will price and assess those roads to ensure the list was available should funding be offered or the seal extension programme be reinstated. The Board requested that the Sunninghurst watercourse be added to the Action List as it was extremely overgrown and needed attention. |

Would you like to speak on your submission at the hearing in early 2017?
Yes No
Preferred method of contact
Email Post Phone
We support the above bylaw and consider it important to protect our Reserves and Beaches. That being said we have the following concerns.
It makes very good sense consolidating both Reserves and Beaches into one bylaw for ease of management and potential enforcement.
Applying the Reserves Bylaw to beaches
Do you support extending the “Reserves" Bylaw to apply to beaches?
Yes No Unsure
Do you have any further comments about the bylaw applying to beaches?
8a. Does this include the removal of kelp for domestic use? Some locals harvest small amounts of kelp for their gardens and would be disappointed if this was prohibited completely.
11. It would appear that Organised Events now need to seek permission prior to using reserves for Organised events. There is concern as to how this will affect Surf Life Saving Events and General weekly training during summer. Would Surf Life Saving have an exception to this rule? Or would they need to get permission for Carnivals etc? We would also hope that a wedding ceremony using a small portion of the beach would not require prior approval.
12. We appreciate the need to restrict fires on Beaches and Reserves but are somewhat concerned by the restriction of Fireworks. Although understood that the rubbish left behind is a nuisance and should be disposed of by the user we consider beaches and reserve (open spaces) to be the safest places to set off fireworks. Our concern being that if the public aren’t permitted to set off fireworks here that they will choose less suitable locations and cause more of a public safety concern i .e. in a built up residential area and also around known endangered wildlife breeding areas.
Rules for dogs on beaches and reserves
Although the proposal is that rules for dogs on reserves and beaches will be covered separately within the Dog Control bylaw, we are still interested in your views on this. Your feedback for these questions will be considered as part of the Dog Control Bylaw review in 2017. You can see the restriction that currently apply at www.dunedin.govt.nz/dog-control-bylaw
In respect of reserves, would you like dog controls on reserves changed?
Yes No Unsure
Should dogs be prohibited from sand dune areas? Yes No Unsure
On what reserves or beaches should dogs be banned?
Endangered Wildlife Breeding areas
Are there reserves/beaches where dogs should be allowed off leash?
Keep as you currently have
Are there reserves/beaches where dogs should be required on leash?
Southern end of Ocean View Beach
Please include any other comments you have about the control of dogs on reserves and beaches.
The signs introduced late last year need changed - the geographical locations are incorrect and they are hard to understand.
Restricting drone use in the proposed bylaw
Do you agree that drones should be restricted on reserves and beaches unless they have prior permission from the Council?
Yes No Unsure
Do you have any other comments on drone use you would like us to consider?
We appreciate that some people may find a certain level of the nuisance factor involved with Drones and certainly want to encourage users to stay away from wildlife and avoid public safety concern. But if we look at the Brighton Domain it is a very sizeable area that owners of Drones and remote controlled aircraft regularly enjoy – we would ask that Council reconsiders this change.
Horses on Beaches
Should horses be restricted in reserves?
Yes No Unsure
Should horses be prohibited from sand dunes?
From walking through sand dunes other than “access ways” yes.
Do you have any other comments on horses on beaches?
In the Saddle Hill Community Board it appears that Island Park Recreation Reserve Beach and Ocean View Recreation Reserve (area leased by Brighton Pony Club). We are very aware that the North end of Ocean View beach and carpark are well used my horse owners and wish to ensure this is an area that horses are permitted. Perhaps this is considered part of the Island Park Reserve but would we appreciate clarification. Ocean View Beach has a long standing tradition of horse owners being able to exercise, train and enjoy the Ocean View Beach and we would strongly oppose if this was not allowed moving forwards.
We would ask that the Council considers a requirement for horse owners to have to pick up their horse’s poo.
Restricting Vehicles on Reserves and Beaches
Should vehicles be prohibited from sand dunes?
Yes No Unsure
Do you agree that vehicle access should be restricted on reserves and beaches? Are there exceptions to the type of vehicles that the bylaw should or should not apply to?
The Council is proposing a speed limit of 20 kilometres per hour on reserves and beaches unless there is a different speed limit imposed by Council resolution or signage. Are there exceptions to this that Council should consider including in the bylaw?
Other than in an emergency situation no.
Other Comments
Often recreational boat users park their vehicle and boat trailer up on the beach above the high tide mark while they head out for a mornings fishing, I have never been made aware in the last 30 years of any issues with this and would ask for this practise to be allowed to continue moving forwards. Also we would encourage an allowance for Surf Life Saving vehicles and trailers to be parked on the beach, the proposed bylaw indicates no issue with emergency service and Surf Patrols but also during a Surf Life Saving Carnival we would recommend that there is no issue that their trailers are parked on the beach for the few hours of their event.
This the most vechicles and trailers you would see on one day in the year the Annual Brighton Fishing Competition. (04/02/2017)
Are there other topics and issues that should be considered in this review? Please comment below. (Be aware that any comments on Freedom Camping can be made during consultation on the Camping Bylaw 2015 later in 2017).
We are still open to discuss other potential sites along the Southern Scenic Route,

Freedom Camping Bylaw
3 A survey aimed at freedom campers in Brighton/Ocean View and Warrington has been completed. Staff are currently collating responses and will include the results in the next Infrastructure Services and Networks Committee activity report (to go to the Infrastructure Services and Networks Committee meeting on 10 April 2017). Staff will then present a report to Council on the future options for freedom camping in the city and options for additional non-self-contained sites.
2017/18 Annual Plan Community Engagement
Jane Nevill, Corporate Planner, has provided the following information:
4 The Council met on 23 and 24 January 2017 to consider draft budgets for the Annual Plan 2017/18. As there have been no significant or material changes to the draft budgets, the Council is not required to undertake a formal consultation process on the draft budgets or hold formal hearings. The Council will undertake a community engagement process, with opportunities for community feedback, focused on informing the community on what is planned and programmed in the 2017/18 year. The Annual Plan engagement will also be the first part of early engagement on the Long Term Plan (LTP) 2018.
5 Engagement activities do not include hearings, but will include community conversations with Councillors and staff attending. The engagement period will run from Thursday 30 March 2017 – Monday 1 May 2017. One of the primary engagement activities will be a central city based community conversation/forum on Tuesday 4 April 2017.
6 The Community Board will have an opportunity to make submissions and discuss their priorities as part of the community conversations. Work is now underway on the detailed engagement planning and Policy staff would appreciate input from Community Boards regarding the approach taken in their areas.
7 Policy staff would appreciate Community Board members taking the lead in supporting engagement in their local areas. Please assist by providing your Governance Support Officer with the following:
1 Local networks/contact lists that can be used for distributing information or advertising material and emailing invitations to the Community conversation/forum.
2 Indicating whether your Board would like an informal community meeting to be held and a date in that period which suits.
3 How and where advertising can be best placed (e.g. advertisements in local newsletters, locations where posters advertising the engagement and how feedback can be given to the Council.)
2017 Community Boards Conference
8 As advised at the last meeting, the biennial Community Boards Conference is being held in Methven from 12-13 May 2017. Members agreed that they would advise at the March meeting whether they were interested in attending the conference.
Community Engagement
9 The Community Board agreed to hold community engagement meetings over the next few months to enable residents to discuss what they would like to see happen in their community. The dates have now been set for meetings and a copy of the flyer is attached for your information (Attachment A).
Brighton Road (Westwood) – Minor Improvement Safety Programme
Richard Saunders (Group Manager Transport) has provided the following information:
10 The Saddle Hill Community Board had requested Transport address the safety issues of the section of Brighton Road that runs through the northern end of Westwood.
11 A letter was sent to the residents on 7 October 2016 outlining the proposal to address concerns (Attachment B).
12 At the February 2017 Community Board meeting there was a request to circulate the plans for the Westwood minor improvement safety programme which are attached (Attachment C).
13 Initially the plan was to pipe the watercourse and seal over it. Stormwater modelling showed that this would have caused potential flooding issues. The preferred option was now to shift the existing culvert to make room for a shoulder which is reflected in the new design.
14 The tenders for the work have just been received and are currently being reviewed. Once the tender has been awarded a work programme will be communicated with residents and the community board. The work will be completed in this
15 You need to add a resolution for them to retrospectively adopt their submission on the bylaws. Also, Conrad is on the bylaw subcommittee, so when the board considers this your declarations report needs to show in the management plan column that he is sitting back, (he doesn’t need to leave the room).

BRIGHTON ROAD (WESTWOOD) – MINOR IMPROVEMENT SAFETY PROGRAMME
Dear
The Dunedin City Council and the Saddle Hill Community Board have assessed the safety of the section of Brighton Road that runs through the northern end of Westwood, as illustrated in Figure 1. This stretch of road has been listed as a future project on the Community Board’s Community Plan.
Figure 1: Aerial photo of a section of Westwood
The two key safety issues on this stretch of road are:
1. Vehicles speeding through this section
2. The lack of a road shoulder on the ocean side of the road to allow motorists to pull over and to access properties on that side
Our preferred option is to move the roadside ditch three metres away from the road (closer to the property line), fill in the existing ditch and provide an unsealed shoulder. This is the most effective way to create a safe pull-off area while still providing for stormwater collection and disposal. Figure 2 shows the relocation of the roadside ditch towards the edge of the road reserve.
Construction of a closed culvert was investigated, however concerns were raised about potential flooding issues which led to this option being discounted.

We also plan to install more signs and markings on the northern approach (from Waldronville) to emphasise the 70 km/hour speed limit. Following the installation DCC will continue to monitor the speeds through this area.
We would like your feedback on the proposed improvements..
If you have any comments on the proposal, please feel free to contact Lisa Clifford on lisa.clifford@dcc.govt.nz or 03 477 4000 by Friday, 21 October.
Yours sincerely
