Residents are being encouraged to have their say on the Waimakariri district’s economic development.
Councillors adopted the draft Waimakariri Economic Development Strategy for public engagement at a council meeting last week.
It will go out for consultation later this month.
Mayor Dan Gordon said the existing economic development strategy was adopted in 2013 and helped to guide the district through its earthquake recovery.
‘‘This draft strategy reflects the future growth of our district.’’
The strategy considered economic development, climate change, emissions reduction, urban development and transport growth.
■ Councillors have adopted the new Waimakariri Housing Policy 2023.
The council’s property portfolio working group will now work out how to best utilise the policy for the district, Gordon said.
That will include deciding whether to partner with the private or public sector to create quality, affordable social housing in Waimakariri.
■ The Waimakariri District Council is seeking government funding to add to its older person’s housing portfolio.
Councillors have backed a proposal from staff to apply for funding from the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development’s affordable housing fund.
The council will seek $3.5 to $4 million, or 50% funding towards a proposed 20 unit housing development on council owned land, with the option of scaling up to 40 units.
The remaining 50% of the proposed $7 million to $8m development would be loan funded and paid back from rental income.
‘‘The intention is that this is not funded by ratepayers,’’ Gordon said.
‘‘The council will still be able to charge affordable rents for the new housing and has a long waiting list and latent demand for additional elderly person housing units.’’
If the funding application is successful, the site and investment options will be considered as part of the 2024-34 long-term plan process.
■ The council has increased its budget for an upgrade of Rangiora’s River Rd.
Councillors have approved an additional budget of $175,000 to allow for the full upgrade of the road.
Work is being completed on the south side of River Rd from Ashley Street to Cones Rd.
‘‘Council felt it was important to do this upgrade properly,’’ Gordon said.
‘‘This is a well utilised area by residents and it is where the Park and Ride (commuter bus service) is situated.’’
This project is estimated to cost $700,000.
■ Councillors have adopted an amended dog control bylaw.
Council staff are also exploring ways to provide after hours access to the pound for people unable to collect their dogs during normal operating hours.

Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon is calling for action on major roading projects in the district.
Gordon has welcomed the National Party’s pledge to deliver the promised Woodend Bypass, while he would like to see the proposed Rangiora eastern link road included in this year’s National Land Transport Programme.
Last week the National Party unveiled a $24 billion transport package, which included the Woodend Bypass as ‘‘a road of national significance’’.
The Woodend Bypass has been in the pipeline for decades, but has been stalled as Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency has focused on other transport priorities.
‘‘The Woodend Pegasus area is growing rapidly and already there is over 20,000 vehicles passing through here every day,’’ Gordon said.
‘‘It’s simply not safe for residents, business owners and school children to have to contend with heavy vehicles and traffic at this level.
‘‘Woodend is a community divided by State Highway 1. It is a growing community and residents feel divided by this dangerous stretch of road.’’
The proposed bypass route would turn east at Pine Acres, north of Kaiapoi, bypassing Woodend before rejoining the existing SH1 at the Pegasus roundabout.
Gordon said the council would continue to advocate strongly for investment from Waka Kotahi for other projects in the district.
‘‘There are many pressing road developments such as a replacement of Skew Bridge in east Kaiapoi as well as an eastern Rangiora link road that are required to accommodate a growing population.’’
He said the district was facing significant growth and these infrastructure projects were needed to support planned housing developments.
The eastern link road would provide another link between SH1 and Rangiora, and help ease pressure on the Southbrook business area.
‘‘We are pushing for Waka Kotahi to listen to councils like Waimakariri and invest where the need is.’’
At last week’s council meeting, councillors requested staff include the Rangiora eastern link road in the draft National Land Transport Programme.
‘‘We felt it was important that the Rangiora eastern link be included in the draft programme for a funding partnership with Waka Kotahi," Gordon said.
‘‘At the end of the day if it’s not in there, it can’t be considered.’’
The council would seek $375,000 for the 2024-25 financial year, $2.7 million in 2025-26 and a further $325,000 in 2026-27.
The entire project was expected to cost $35 million.
Land for the eastern link road has been designated in the proposed Waimakariri District Plan.
For now the project was in the programme for construction in 2035.
