4. History of Shirley Community Centre Decision-making (2012 to 2024)
In 2012, after the Christchurch Earthquakes, the Shirley Community Centre at 10 Shirley Road/Shirley Community Reserve, Richmond was demolished.
From 2013 to 2016, “staff explored options for a third-party funded and managed facility” (Crossway Church proposal), which was eventually rejected.
https://www.10shirleyroad.org.nz/crossway-church-proposal/
In 2016, the Christchurch City Council gave Delegated Authority for the ‘rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre’ to the Shirley/Papanui Community Board.
From 2016 to 2018, I’m unsure what progress was made on the Shirley Community Centre rebuild project.
As by the beginning of 2018, the funding for the new Shirley Community Centre had been ‘Removed from Programme’, Community Facilities Rebuild & “the Papanui-Innes Community Board has take the rare step of starting a petition to fight the city council over funding.”
In May 2018, after my 1st verbal submission to Council for the Draft Long Term Plan 2018-2028, Former Mayor Lianne Dalziel’s recommendations included directing staff to engage with external independent consultants for:
– Community Needs Analysis for Richmond (December 2018) &
– Shirley Community Centre Feasibility and Business Case (8 August 2019)
I was interviewed by both external independent consultants for these reports.
https://www.10shirleyroad.org.nz/shirley-community-facility-feasibility-study/
Each year from 2018 to 2024, I have made submissions advocating for a new Centre to be built at at 10 Shirley Road/Shirley Community Reserve, Richmond.
https://www.10shirleyroad.org.nz/submissions/
Eventually in 2021, after my 2nd CCC Draft Long Term Plan verbal submission & ‘Shirley Road Central’ group presentation of the ‘Where is our Community Centre’ petition, Former Mayor Lianne Dalziel’s recommendations included:
– “Council reinstates $3.0 million funding formerly set aside for the rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre in FY 2029/30 – FY 2031/32 to enable a subsequent annual plan to bring the funding forward if plans are progressed.” &
– “Council adds $35,000 in FY 2021/22 for an updated feasibility study to look at other options, including incorporating the current Shirley library.”
But since 2016, when Council gave the Delegated Authority for the rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre, the Community Board have focused on funding ‘activation’ for the 10 Shirley Road/Shirley Community Reserve:
– ‘Temporary’ Modular pump track & multi use concrete table installed (May 2020).
– Landscape plan requested.
– ‘We are Richmond’ wayfinding signage installed.
– ‘Shirley Road Central’ Skip Day & Car Boot Sale events.
– ‘Shirley Village’ Youth Audit of 10 Shirley Road & Shirley Library.
– ‘Eastern Community Sport and Recreation’ Shirley Play Pop-up preschooler events.
– ‘St Albans Residents Association’ Nau mai Fiesta event.
– ‘Youth & Cultural Development (YCD)’ House of Hoopz FRESH event.
– Memo on: Toilets, Signage, Lights, Basketball Court renewal, Accessibility, Reserve Planning.
– New fencing, gate & signage installed.
– Crime Prevention through Environmental Design (CPED) report requested.
Now in 2024, the Christchurch City Council Draft Long Term Plan 2024-2034 includes:
– Central Ward, Parks & Foreshore
74005 – Shirley Community Reserve
Landscape Development Plan, $50,000 in FY25/26, Page 3
(10 Shirley Road/Shirley Community Reserve is now in the Central Ward)
– Innes Ward, Community Development and Facilities

After the Christchurch City Council Long Term Plan 2024-34 Workshops in May:
Direction Given to “Bring forward construction from 2031 to 2026-2027.”
“Staff are through the Board Chair [Emma Norrish] currently negotiating with a ‘prospective Community Partner’ and a ‘sympathetic Building Company’ to develop this facility in a Community Partnership through the Build and the Operation.”

– The Board wishes to proceed with this project and suggests that a process similar to that put in place by the Council for the rebuild of the St Albans Community Centre be followed.
– Accordingly the Board requests that delegated authority for decision-making around the Shirley Community Centre project be given by the Council, including the delegation of authority to make decisions from the recommendations of the Working Party and from staff for the siting, design and rebuild process and future management of the facility.
– Council Resolved CNCL/2016/00368

1. Delegates the necessary authority (as per the St Albans Community facility) to the Shirley/Papanui Community Board (to be the Papanui/Innes Community Board in the next term) for decisions regarding the rebuild and future management of the Shirley Community Centre at either 10 Shirley Road or any other selected site.
2. Request that the Community Board talk with staff around potential options for a regeneration plan in this area under the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Act 2016.

Opening: To Be Determined
Current Phase: Concept
Delegated Authority for Concept Design Approval: Business Owner
Current Status: A meeting was held on 17/02/15 between CCC PM, representatives of church groups proposing to establish a facility on the site of old Community Centre, and the CCC Asset Owner.
At this meeting the church provided background on their work to date and the mechanics of their offering.
CCC PM is now gathering information internally to understand status from a property and community support point of view.
Feedback received as part of this will inform whether or not further stakeholder consultation is required.
The end output will be a recommendation report by the Asset Owner to the Community Board and Council regarding the Church Group’s offering.
An update is to be provided to the Community Board via a seminar sitting on 1 April, but is highly unlikely that the recommendation report will be available at that time.

Item 17, Report from Shirley/Papanui Community Board
At their meeting of 31 August 2016 the Shirley/Papanui Community Board considered a process for the rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre.
The Council has allocated funding of $2.57 million to cover the capital costs of the rebuild of the Shirley Community Centre.
This project is in Tranche 1 of the Community Facilities Rebuild Programme.
The Board wishes to proceed with this project and suggests that a process similar to that put in place by the Council for the rebuild of the St Albans Community Centre be followed.
Accordingly the Board requests that delegated authority for decision-making around the Shirley Community Centre project be given by the Council, including the delegation of authority to make decisions from the recommendations of the Working Party and from staff for the siting, design and rebuild process and future management of the facility.

Attachment A – Memorandum: 1 December 2016
Re: Information on the Site Selection process and the Terms of Reference for the Shirley Community Centre rebuild project
1. Site Selection Process
The recommendation of 10 Shirley Road has taken into account a number of factors including the area of land needed, access, parking and zoning designations.
All Council-owned properties within a 1.5km radius of 10 Shirley Road were identified and taken into consideration against a number of factors.
– The site at 10 Shirley Road met the following criteria including:
Sufficient space (9042m2) for both the community centre and necessary off-street parking plus other community activities
– Good access with road frontages to Chancellor Street, Slater Street and Shirley Road
– Appropriate zoning designation for the purpose of community facilities already in place
– Ownership is with the Council and is held in trust for a local purpose
– Community awareness of site as this was the site of the previous community centre.
It should be noted that the local playcentre holds a separate lease over the area (769 square metres) as shown within the red border in the map.
It is recommended that site of the new Shirley Community Centre be confirmed as 10 Shirley Road.
Staff Recommendation
That the Papanui-Innes Community Board under delegated authority from the Christchurch City Council granted at the Council meeting of 8 September 2016.
Approve the recommendation that the site of the new permanent Shirley Community Centre be the existing site (10 Shirley Road).

Active Projects
Shirley Community Centre – New Build
The community centre on Shirley Road was demolished under a section 38 notice from CERA.
A new facility is required in the wider Shirley area.
This project seeks to undertake a business case and location study to identify suitable areas and possible community partnerships.
A community meeting to discuss the project was held on 17 November.
Unfortunately the turnout of community members was very light.
At a Community Board meeting on 9 November the Papanui-Innes Community Board confirmed the location of the new facility as 10 Shirley Road (the site of the old, demolished facility).
A Joint Working Group is to be established for the project, and the terms of reference for this will be established by the Community Board at their next meeting in February 2017.

Page 1 & Page 5
The Papanui-Innes Community Board has take the rare step of starting a petition to fight the city council over funding.
It comes after the city council removed funding for the centre planned for Shirley Rd, near the intersection with Hills Rd.
This was the site of the former community centre, which was badly damaged in the February 22, 2011 earthquake.
The removal of funding prompted community board chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten to stand down, citing it as her ‘die in the ditch’ project.
“One of the roles of a community board is to represent and act as advocate for the interests of its community and this is what we are doing.
The LTP and annual plans are all about lobbying the council.”

24. Christchurch City Council Draft Long Term Plan 2018-2028 (12 May 2018)
Q & A’s from Former Mayor Lianne Dalziel to Joanna Gould regarding her Shirley Community Centre proposal:
“I really liked your submission largely because of the imagery around the history of the site and what’s planned for the future.
I think rather than just building back a community centre, that actually we should look at the whole of the area and look at the whole of the needs.
So maybe what we need to be considering for the Long Term Plan is a budget that would enable a full kind of needs analysis and to look at what the different options are. Because there is a Facebook page that’s been set up that suggests moving the library and other things…So it was you.”
My response:
“Yes. When I had the idea, I was standing across from Shirley Primary School with Ben and I thought ‘What if?’
What if we could dream big and create this whole block, create this destination space that invites everybody.
It’s a meeting place, it’s a community centre, but we also have so many nations settling in our area.
I wanted to welcome them into this area and make them feel part of this area.
I just see the whole space alive with people, all sorts of people.
If they are disabled or whatever they can still access this space.
Everybody can come in and it can be put back as a destination space and learning space for the whole community, for Christchurch and tourists as well, because this is the Gateway to the East.”

9.1 10 Shirley Road
The Board raised the cost of the landscape plan they had originally requested and asked whether staff could look at the feasibility of the community’s suggestions for the site.
It was noted that the estimate for landscape plan was $15k and staff were looking at cheaper options to still allow the Board do landscaping at the site.
The Board was keen to examine partnership options with local business to help reduce the cost to the Board.
It was also raised that now the LTP has been approved the Board asked the next step.
It was noted that there is money on budget for the feasibility study next year.
Staff advised they were going to do a temperature check and start looking at past reports and engagement done in regards to the site in advance of the feasibility study and start consulting with relevant units regarding future collaborative use of the site and developing a community hub strategy.
The Board suggested that reviewing the community engagement results and the notes from the meeting held with the local community at the Shirley Intermediate School would provide valuable insights about the community’s needs and wants for 10 Shirley Road and asked that staff consider these when compiling the feasibility study.
It was raised that the Board would like to have a plan moving forward.
This includes investigating the feasibility of relocating the Palms Shirley Library and Service Centre to be incorporated as part of a future Community Centre at 10 Shirley Road.
Staff advised this is one of the reasoning’s for the temperature check and to ensure that options are feasible and/or challenge options internally before going out to the public with options.

13. Waipapa Papanui-Innes Community Board Area Report – June 2022
Board Comment
A Board member recorded the staff advice, provided subsequent to the memo regarding Shirley Community Reserve (attached to the Area Report) that, dependent on the outcomes of community engagement/feedback for the Reserve, the following is at this stage set aside for these financial years:
FY26 $50k, FY27 $50k, FY28 $500k, FY29 $500k,
within 61782 Programme – Community Parks New Development
(the advice further noting that: however, this will be reviewed in the next Long Term Plan as it was initially proposed for a major park facility such as a skate-park, but this will depend on decisions regarding the community centre).
Page 124 & 125
Shirley Library
Further to receiving the deputation advocating for relocating and upgrading Shirley Library to the Shirley Community Reserve site, the Board requested to see the engineering report for Shirley Library, receiving advice after its last meeting that:
As the building strength is greater than 67%, it is not considered at risk of being earthquake prone.
From an asset, sustainability and lifecycle approach, Shirley Library is currently in good physical condition, having undergone capital works in 2020 and also received works to HVAC systems in 2014. The building is currently in the first third of its useful life.
Council would not anticipate significant capital works to occur in the next five years based on current condition and data modelling. There is a programme of funds in the LTP for the portfolio which is allocated to the remainder of the Libraries network.
The primary services delivered from the facility include:
Library services, Service Centre, NZ Post & Governance
The recent refurbishment works ensure that the facility continues to provide value to the community and remains fit for purpose.
Continued data collection and condition monitoring will be used to help inform future decision making for this site.
Physically, the asset is well positioned to respond to how these services are delivered.
The Board inquired about a re-assessment of the building given the passage of time, and related points, and received advice that the engineering assessment (completed by Aurecon) for Shirley Library (which also accommodates the Community Governance Team for the neighbouring Coastal-Burwood Board area, as being located within that area) occurred on 27 May 2013 and was determined to be 68% of the New Building Standard.
Two Chartered Engineers undertook a quantitative review of the report from CERA on 6 March 2014, with further Capital works occurring in 2020.
Council’s Senior Manager Facilities and its Technical Advisor, who oversees the Council’s Earthquake-prone buildings, have reviewed the 2013 report and advise there is no need to commission another assessment of the Shirley Library.
The Technical Advisor has advised that the Library is of a Low Risk and not classified as earthquake-prone or at earthquake risk.

Intensification in the Papanui-Innes-Central Community Board:
– Advocate for the inclusion of funding in the LTP for any amenities that may be identified in future developments.
The Board Chair in the LTP briefing to Council in October 2023 highlighted priority to ensure that development in East Papanui comes with provision for community amenities, and advocated for the funding to realise a vision for the future Shirley Community Reserve, to be determined in consultation with the community.
– Promote and support quality engagement practices
Support for comprehensive and current engagement on Shirley Community Reserve recognising the relevance of how the area has developed and ensuring to engage appropriately with current stakeholders, such as taking engagement activities into local schools and the FRESH event associated with YCD on the Reserve.

Shirley Community Reserve
Shirley Community Reserve (projects 20053 and 74005) is a specific dedicated priority in the Community Board Plan.
The community has been consulted several times over the last three terms regarding their vision for the future of the reserve, where a well used Community Centre stood before the Canterbury earthquakes.
The Board supports funding being brought forward to be in line with a forthcoming Board decision.
This will provide certainty to the community that this key space will be duly invested in and developed so it can be successfully activated.
There is understood to be additional funding for the Parks-funded component of Shirley Community Reserve, available in the parent programme (61782), subject to the nature of the decision on its future of the reserve, theoretically suggesting the possibility of commencing with Parks-funded components ahead of where the Facility funding (20053) is currently sitting.
Again, the Board would like to see the Parks funding drawn down from the parent programme into a separate line item, so that it may be visible and subject to a current decision-making process.
