BACKGROUND

3          These events support Council’s 10 Year Plan goal of a successful city with a diverse, innovative and productive economy and a hub for skill and talent.  They also contribute to the Festival and Events Plan 2018-2023.

4          Current modelling indicates that graduation events bring an economic benefit of between $1.35 - $1.8m to Dunedin. 

5          The area proposed to be used for this event is legal road and can therefore be temporarily closed to normal traffic if statutory temporary road closure procedures are followed. The procedures are set out in Section 319 of the LGA 1974 and give Council the power to stop or close any road (or part of a road) within the parameters of Section 342 and Schedule 10 of the LGA 1974 (Schedule 10 is included as attachment A).

6          These procedures include:

·        Consultation with Waka Kotahi (New Zealand Transport Agency) and the Police.

·        Public notice being given of the proposal to close any road (or part of a road), and public notice of a decision to close the road.

·        Council being satisfied that traffic is not likely to be unreasonably impeded.

7          A resolution of Council is required where a proposal to temporarily close a road relates to public functions.

DISCUSSION

Consultation and Notification

8          The Police and Waka Kotahi have no objections to the proposed road closures.

9          On Saturday 9 and Wednesday 13 July, the proposed temporary road closures (Attachment B and C) were advertised in the Otago Daily Times with a deadline for feedback set for 16 and 17 July 2022.  No objections were received. 

10        Council is required to give public notice of its decision. This notice will be published after this meeting and prior to the event, if approved.

11        The event organisers contacted those considered affected prior to submitting their application, and no objections were received.  

12        Schedule 10 section 11(e) states a road cannot be closed more than 31 days in the aggregate in any one year.  This limit will not be exceeded by the approval of the proposed temporary road closures.

 

Traffic Impacts 

13        These events have been held in prior years without causing unreasonable delays to the travelling public. The Graduation parade route has changed slightly due to works for the Central City Upgrade, however this route has been used during recent graduation parades in May this year.  Emergency Services and Public transport services will be managed through the temporary traffic management process.

14        The temporary traffic management plan process ensures that other issues such as temporary relocation of certain parking (e.g. taxi, mobility and AVO) are managed.

OPTIONS

15        Any amendment to this report’s recommendations cannot be implemented without further consultation with the affected parties, Waka Kotahi, the Police, and verifying that traffic impacts are acceptable.

Option One – Recommended Option

 

16        That the Council closes the sections of roads as recommended in this report. 

Advantages

·        The roads will be able to be closed and the events will be able to proceed.

·        The closure will assist in realising the economic, social, and cultural benefits associated with the events.

Disadvantages

·        There will be temporary loss of vehicular access through the closed areas.  However, there are detours available, and safety can be assured using temporary traffic management.

Option Two – Status Quo

17        That the Council decides not to close the roads in question.

Advantages

·        There would be no detour required for travelling public, and the road would be able to be used as normal.

Disadvantages

·        The events would not be able to go ahead, and the benefits of the events would be lost.

NEXT STEPS

18        Should the resolution be made to temporarily close the roads, Council staff will accept the temporary traffic management plan and notify the public of the closures.
