Infrastructure Services Activity Report for the period ended 31 December 2021

Department: Parks and Recreation, Waste and Environmental Solutions, Property, 3 Waters and Transport

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report provides an update on progress towards achieving levels of service for the following activities, for the period 1 July 2021 to 31 December 2021:

a)         Reserves and Recreational Facilities (Attachment A),

b)        Waste Management (Attachment B),

c)         Property (Attachment C),

d)        3 Waters (Attachment D), and

e)        Transport (Attachment E).

2          As this is an administrative report only, there are no options or Summary of Considerations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

a)     Notes the update reports on the Reserves and Recreational Facilities, Waste Management, Property, 3 Waters and Transport activities as provided in Attachment A to Attachment E.

 

DISCUSSION

3          The 10 year plan sets out the activities undertaken by Council.  Each activity has levels of service that describe what Council will provide to the community, along with measures and targets used to assess the level of achievement in delivering those activities.  Council reports on its achievement of all levels of service through its Annual Report.

4          Attachments A to E report on progress towards achieving the levels of service, measures and targets as detailed in the 10 year plan the Reserves and Recreational Facilities, Waste Management, Property, 3 Waters and Transport activities, for the six months to 31 December 2021.  Information on specific areas of work is also provided for each activity. 

5          The Residents’ Opinion Survey (ROS) is used by Council to measure achievement of some of its levels of service, and the results from the survey are shown in the attached activity reports.  Respondents of the survey are asked to rate their satisfaction levels for some activities on a scale of 1-10 from very dissatisfied to very satisfied.

6          The survey is carried out on a continuous monthly basis, with the aim of getting 100 responses each month.  This provides a sample size of around 1,200 for the year, with a six monthly sample size of around 600 residents.  A sample size of 600 has an expected margin of error (at the 95% confidence interval) of ± 4.1%. 

7          As part of the Strategic Framework Refresh project, a review is underway of both levels of service and the DCC”s suite of survey tools, including the ROS survey, to improve how we measure and report on our performance, and how we monitor wellbeing.

8          A review of linkages between current levels of service and Council’s Strategies is also in progress and will be reported on in future activity reports.

NEXT STEPS

9          An update report for the nine months to 31 March 2022 will be presented to the May 2022 Committee meeting.

Naming of new roads and private ways

Department: Transport

 

 

 

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1          This report seeks the approval of road names for four new public roads and three new private ways. The road names proposed by the developers comply with the DCC Road Naming Policy

RECOMMENDATIONS

That the Committee:

a)     Approves naming a new road off Armadale Street (Mosgiel) as Telford Street.

b)     Approves naming a new road off Blackhead Road as Water Tank Drive.

If recommendation b) is approved

c)     Approves naming a new road off Water Tank Drive (near Blackhead Road) as Fitzpatrick Crescent.

d)     Approves naming a new road off Fitzpatrick Crescent (near Blackhead Road) as Loess Place.

e)     Approves naming a private way off David Street (Caversham) as Dallas Lane (from the Road Name Register).

f)     Approves naming a private way off Rutherford Street (Caversham) as Nimon Lane (from the Road Name Register).

g)     Approves naming a private way off Paterson Road (Mosgiel) as Puddy Lane.

 

BACKGROUND

2          The Road Naming Policy provides the framework for timely and consistent naming of roads that reflect the identity of the local community. For reference, the Road Naming Policy and Road Naming Procedure can be accessed on the DCC website at www.dunedin.govt.nz/road-naming.

3          The Road Naming Policy requires staff to consult with Community Boards where road names are proposed for Community Board areas. Consultation with the relevant Community Board has been undertaken for two road names proposed at Hagart-Alexander Drive (Highland Park-Stage 15) and Paterson Road-Wingatui as detailed below.

4          Support from the Mosgiel-Taieri Community Board for naming a new road off Armadale Street, Mosgiel as ‘Telford Street’ (or ‘Laxford Street’ as the alternative option), and for naming a private way off Paterson Road, Mosgiel as ‘Puddy Lane’ (or ‘Daffodil Lane’ as the alternative option), was sought at its meeting of 10 February 2022. The Infrastructure Services Committee will be updated at the meeting.

5          No consultation with Community Boards was required for the other road names proposed.

DISCUSSION

6          The table presented below provides a summary of the road names proposed by property developers or surveyors, and their compliance with the Road Naming Policy. Additional details, including a full assessment for each proposed road name, evidence of consent where relevant and geographic details of the new roads are provided in Attachments A to T.

7          It should be noted that the Road Naming Policy places less weight on the appropriateness criteria with respect to private ways.

One new road at 66 Hagart-Alexander Drive (SUB-2021-94 & LUC-2021-286)

8          The new public road to be named is part of the Highland Park subdivision located at 66 Hagart-Alexander Drive, Mosgiel. Stages 1-14 of the development were completed from 2011-2019. The 15th stage involves the extension of Armadale Street, the extension of Lochinvar Street, and a new branch road coming off Armadale Street, which needs to be named.

9          The developer proposed ‘Telford Street’ as the preferred option and ‘Laxford Street’ as the alternative road name.

10        The options proposed relate to family names or locations connected to Scotland and are consistent with the established naming theme for the subdivision. According to the applicant, ‘Telford’ refers to Thomas Telford, who was a civil engineer that designed numerous infrastructure projects in Scotland. ‘Laxford’ relates to the Laxford Bridge and river of the same name located in northwest Scotland.

11        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Telford Street’ is the preferred name of the applicant and is recommended for approval. 

Three new roads at 31 & 39 Blackhead Road (SUB-2021-26 & LUC-2021-80)

12        The development at 31 and 39 Blackhead Road relates to four properties located near 31 and 39 Blackhead Road, and 120 and 122 Emerson Street. The first stage of the project corresponds to the intersection of Blackhead Road and Emerson Street. A new road coming off Blackhead Road (Road 1), a second road branch off to the left (Road 2) and a cul-de-sac (Road 3) are to be named at this stage. The first and second roads are truncated at this first stage of the project but will provide access into subsequent stages when extended.

Road 1- New road coming off Blackhead Road

13        ‘Water Tank Drive’. There is a water tank on Emerson Street that is a notable landmark adjoining the property where the development is constructed. According to the developer, this is commonly used as a point of reference when people give directions to Blackhead Road. The name proposed relates to a distinguishing characteristic of the area.

14        ‘Ken Mowat Drive’ refers to Ken Mowat (1919-2008), who was born in Dunedin and served New Zealand in World War II on the naval ship ‘Gambia’. He later joined the army and spent two years serving in the Korean War as a gunner. On his return from war, he worked for the family business in Dunedin (JC Mowat Ltd). The applicant has provided evidence from relatives of Ken Mowat supporting the proposal.

15        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Water Tank Drive’ is the preferred name of the applicant and is recommended for approval. 

Road 2- New road coming off ‘Water Tank Drive’ or ‘Ken Mowat Drive’

16        ‘Fitzpatrick Crescent’ has a historical significance as it refers to a family of early residents of Dunedin. According to the developer, the Fitzpatrick family immigrated to New Zealand in the middle of the 19th century. Patrick and Elizabeth Fitzpatrick operated a business providing construction materials. At the time, the mayor of Dunedin TK Sidey, personally recognised their contribution in providing materials for landmark buildings in the city, including the Southern Cross Hotel in the Exchange. The applicant has provided evidence from relatives of the Fitzpatrick family supporting the proposal.

17        ‘Alluvial Crescent’ relates to a geographical characteristic of the land. ‘Alluvial’ is a soil formation created by the deposition of sediment over a long period of time. The developer explains that the name proposed was inspired following a geological assessment of the property and refers to the type of soil present on the land.

18        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Fitzpatrick Crescent’ is the preferred name of the applicant and is recommended for approval. 

Road 3- New road coming off ‘Fitzpatrick Crescent’ or ‘Alluvial Crescent’

19        The applicant proposed ‘Sarah Place’ as the preferred option and ‘Loess Place’ as the alternative road name for Road 3.

20        The name ‘Sarah Place’ has personal significance for the developer and may be considered as a personal name for special service, as defined by the Road Naming Policy. The proposal refers to the name of the developer’s mother: Sarah Norwood. Both parents of the developer were originally from Northern Ireland and moved to Dunedin in 1958. They contributed in their respective careers to the development of Dunedin at an early stage. Sarah Norwood passed away in 2013. The applicant has provided evidence from relatives of Sarah Norwood supporting the proposal.

21        ‘Loess Place’ has a geographical connection with the land of the development and as the applicant explains, it refers to a common type of soil in the area.

22        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Sarah Place’ is the preferred name of the applicant. Loess Place is the recommended option for approval because insufficient information was provided by the applicant to show that the preferred option meets the criteria of ‘personal name for special service’ as specified in the Road Naming Policy.

Two new private ways 65 Rutherford Street & 68, 76, 78, 80 & 82 David Street (SUB-2021-176 & LUC-2021-393)

23        This case involves the redevelopment of the land at 65 Rutherford Street and 68, 76, 78, 80 and 82 David Street, Dunedin over two stages. Stage 1 of the proposal involves building of twelve units on the northern side of the subject sites. Access will be to David Street and Rutherford Street with no through route between both roads. Both accesses to Rutherford Street and David Street require to be named.

Private Way 1- New private way coming off David Street

24        The applicant proposed ‘Vesta Lane’ as the preferred option and ‘Dallas Lane’ as the alternative road name for the access to the development from David Street. 

25        ‘Vesta Lane’ The name has a historical significance as the New Zealand Wax Vesta Company Limited owned and developed the land of the current development in the early 1900.

26        The name ‘Dallas Lane’ has a historical significance as it refers to Ruth Dallas (1919-2008). Ruth Minnie Mumford was born in Invercargill and adopted Dallas as her pen name. Her first book of poetry was published in 1953 and she moved to Dunedin in 1954. She was awarded the 1968 Robert Burns Fellowship at the University of Otago and was made an honorary Doctor of Literature in 1978. In 1989 she was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire, for services to literature. She died in 2008 in Dunedin. This name is included in the Road Name Register.

27        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Vesta Lane’ is the preferred name of the applicant but is not the option preferred by officers because research shows that some workers of the former matches company, were exposed to phosphorus poisoning due to the match making process. ‘Dallas Lane’ is recommended for approval in this case.

Private Way 2- New private way coming off Rutherford Street

28        The applicant proposed ‘Nimon Lane’ as the preferred option or ‘Dallas Lane’ as the alternative road name for the access to the development from Rutherford Street.

29        The name ‘Nimon Lane’ has a historical significance as it refers to James Nimon, who contributed to keeping Dunedin streets clean and repairing lighting of streetlamps. This name is included in the Road Name Register.

30        The name ‘Dallas Lane’ as noted above, has historical significance and is included in the Road Name Register.

31        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy and are part of the Road Name Register. ‘Nimon Lane’ is recommended for approval.

One new private way 12, 14, 16 & 18 Paterson Road Wingatui (SUB-2016-35 & LUC-2016-197 & LUC-2016-346)

32        The private way to be named is part of the subdivision on the land located at 12, 14, 16 & 18 Paterson Road Wingatui, Mosgiel. The first stage was completed and stages two and three involve the subdivision of 12 and 14 Paterson Road into seven residential lots.

33        The applicant proposed ‘Puddy Lane’ as the preferred option and ‘Daffodil Lane’ as the alternative road name for the access to the subdivision being developed at Paterson Road. 

34        For ‘Puddy Lane’, the name has significance as it relates to former owners of the land, Elaine and Lesley Puddy. According to the applicant, they were active members of the Wingatui Community from 1955. Lesley was a founding member of the Community Hall Society and helped significantly with the construction of the hall. Elaine was involved in community activities, particularly fundraising. They both cleared the property of a large amount of gorse and started growing tomatoes commercially. One of the two tomato houses on the property, was a known landmark in the district and the section was affectionately known in the area as the ‘Puds’ place. The applicant has provided evidence from relatives of Elaine and Lesley Puddy supporting the proposal.

35        ‘Daffodil Lane’ has some geographical significance as it relates to a common perennial that was planted on the land of the development.

36        Both names comply with the appropriateness criteria of the Road Naming Policy. ‘Puddy Lane’ is the preferred name of the applicant and is recommended for approval.
