Christchurch council builds new model for subdivision approvals
Christchurch City Council is working on a new process to ensure subdivisions have all appropriate approvals before starting construction.
Subdivision resource consents require developers to construct roads and roading infrastructure inside the new development, as well as appropriate connections to existing Council infrastructure. Once work is complete, the new roads are vested in Council.
However, Council staff recently found some construction, particularly new infrastructure on and connections to existing roads, was carried out without appropriate Community Board or Council approval.
General Manager City Infrastructure, Brent Smith says staff are now aware of this requirement and will ensure all necessary approvals are obtained before work is carried out.
“Work carried out at various sites has been guided by the goal of ensuring safety for both residents and travellers as efficiently as possible. Efforts have focussed on creating safe access for vehicles as well as safe crossing points for pedestrians and cyclists,” said Mr Smith.
