INTRODUCTION
The Lyttelton/Mt.Herbert Community Board (the Board) appreciates being able to make this submission on
the Council’s Draft Three Year Plan (TYP) 2013-16.
The Board wishes to make comment and/or suggestions on the following specific issues:
Anchor Projects – Central City
The Board supports lower Council contributions to anchor projects in the central city. While not opposed to
betterment in principle this is not a priority for our community.
Asset Sales
The Board supports the Councils position on strategic asset sales and reminds Council of the Boards
resolution passed at its 14 August 2012 meeting:
That the Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board support continued public ownership of New Zealand’s
strategic assets, and continued Christchurch City Council ownership of it’s metropolitan and regional
strategic assets, in particular, Lyttelton Port of Christchurch.
Capital Project Consultation
The Board welcomes the proposals to involve the Community Board in all Capital Projects affecting the
Lyttelton/Mt Herbert area.
Performance Indicators
In addition to general community satisfaction performance indicators, the Board suggests Council consider
annual surveys of Community Boards to provide qualitative information about community satisfaction, for
particular activities, for example Recreation and Leisure, Community Facilities, Neighbourhood Parks, Parks
and Open Spaces etc.
Godley House
The Board requests that some funding be included to enable progress to be made on planning by the
Council (in partnership with the local community) for the redevelopment of the Godley House site in
Diamond Harbour, because it is a significant Christchurch site.

A copy of the Objectives of the Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community Board for this triennial term are attached for

Target
Lyttelton (Community) Visitor Centre will be
open 9.00-5.00 daily (with opening hours
extended as necessary to accommodate cruise
ship visits)
The Board notes that these are not the hours
currently operated by the Lyttelton Information
Centre.
Measure
Percentage of residents that feel the public
has some or a large influence on the
decisions the Council makes.
The Board considers that the Planned
Performance of 55% is not high enough for this
Measure.

Community Facilities
Under Targets, the Board would like to see
significant improvement in the dialogue between
the Council and Lyttelton-Mt.Herbert
communities about the repairs, rebuild and
continuing management of facilities in the local
area.

District Planning
Landscapes and natural features are
protected and enhanced
Prepare the new proposed Christchurch
District Plan (combining the Christchurch
City Plan and Banks Peninsula District Plan)
The Board welcomes the review of the District
Plan in 2013/14. We are pleased the Council is
trying to achieve protection and enhancement of
landscapes. On Banks Peninsula, and in
particular Lyttelton Harbour, landscapes are
under increasing pressure from the cumulative
effects of rural lifestyle subdivisions since the
earthquakes.
