p12. Annual Report Christchurch Otautahi 2010 Highlights Our achievements Our achievements In the past financial year, the Christchurch City Council has continued to provide those essential services necessary to keep the city running smoothly such as rubbish collection, water supply and the operation of libraries and leisure centres. At the same time, a number of new projects and services have been introduced to help achieve our vision of becoming a world-class boutique city. Highlights are set out below. Ocean Outfall Christchurch’s biggest construction project to date – the $83.3 million Ocean Outfall pipeline – was officially opened in March 2010. The outfall system includes a new pump station at the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant oxidation ponds and a five kilometre pipeline. The system carries highly treated wastewater out to sea. Previously the wastewater was discharged into the Avon-Heathcote Estuary. City Mall The revitalisation of City Mall was completed and officially opened by the Mayor in December 2009. The pedestrian shopping precinct in the heart of the city underwent a major renovation to create an exciting new destination for visitors and residents. The project was part of the Council’s strategy to revitalise the Central City. Bus priority The Council continued its programme of bus priority in 2009/10, with the introduction of bus lanes and other priority measures on the Papanui/Belfast, Colombo Street South and Queenspark via Hills Road routes. The measures have helped improve bus travel times and have resulted in an increase in passenger numbers. Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre Construction of the Graham Condon Recreation and Sport Centre started in June 2010. The $13 million complex, which is being built on Papanui High School land, will boast an eight-lane, ramped 25-metre indoor swimming pool, a ramped spa pool, a ramped learners’ pool, a separate toddlers’ pool with wet deck and water toys, a 300 square metre sports hall and a new fitness centre. Tram extension Work started on the extension of Christchurch’s Central City tram route in 2010. The Council approved the extension of the Christchurch tram route on 30 June 2009 and included funding for the project in its Long Term Council Community Plan 2009-19. The first stage of the tram extension, to the corner of High and Tuam streets, is to be completed in time for Rugby World Cup 2011. Tram tracks have already been laid in City Mall as part of the revitalisation of the Central City pedestrian precinct. Ellerslie International Flower Show 2010 Christchurch’s second Ellerslie International Flower Show was held in 2010, with thousands of visitors once again enjoying the show. The success of the second event helped cement the show’s new home in Christchurch, with visitors commenting on the improvements over the 2009 show and looking forward to next year. Belfast Area Plan The Council adopted the Belfast Area Plan in June 2010. It is the second area plan specifically developed by the Council to sustainably manage development in key greenfield areas around the city; the first was the South-West Christchurch Area Plan adopted in April 2009. Aranui library Resource consent for the new Aranui Library project was granted in June 2010. The eagerly awaited new library facility will be built on land in Aldershot Street, bordering on to Wainoni Park, and is due to open in the middle of 2011. A city for people The Council in February 2010 adopted A City for People, the action plan for the implementation of the Public Space Public Life Study developed by Danish urban designer Jan Gehl. The work includes developing a concept plan for a high-quality walk along Colombo Street from Victoria Square to the new Transport Interchange, and investigating a change for Colombo Street to one of shared priority for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. Akaroa Museum storage facility The new Akaroa Museum storage building was officially opened in February 2010. The new storage space, which is linked to the existing museum, will enable the collection of precious objects for the community to treasure well into the future.
