Executive Summary

1. Pursuant to Clause 11(e) of the Tenth Schedule of the Local Government Act 1974 this report seeks the Regulatory Committee approve temporary road closures associated with Summer events and activities in Tauranga City.

2. The road closures aim to provide a safe and well-organised event for public to attend, protect competitors, manage the transport network and minimise impacts to residents and businesses while events are taking place.

3. The organiser of each event will:

· Undertake consultation with all affected residents and businesses prior to the event occurring.

· Submit a Temporary Traffic Management Plan for approval as part of the overall event approval process. This Plan stipulates all traffic signage indicating sections of roads or carparks closed, alternative detours and, any other appropriate signage for traffic control and advance warning of road closures in accordance with the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM).

Background

2. Each year the City Events team and Bay Venues work with Event Organisers and affected stakeholders to facilitate a calendar of events across the city. Event coordination and planning meetings are held in advance of events with representation from affected stakeholders. These events have been running for several years with traffic management and, in particular, road closures playing an important role to ensure the safety of event participants is maintained.

Road closures allow for safe access to, during and from events by creating separation of traffic from pedestrians. Event activities are managed within Resource Consent and Corridor Access approval conditions which include noise management and communication plans.

Strategic / Statutory Context

3. Tauranga City Council has the authority to close roads under the powers of the Local Government Act 1974 – Clause 11(e) of Schedule 10.

Legal Implications / Risks

4. The formal approval of road closures by the Regulatory Committee is part one of a two part approval process.

Part two requires a warranted Site Traffic Management Supervisor (STMS) to submit a traffic management plan (TMP) to the Corridor Access team who has delegated authority as a Traffic Management Coordinator (TMC) to review and approve a temporary road closure in accordance with the Code of Practice for Temporary Traffic Management (CoPTTM).

The traffic management contractor has a duty to ensure so far as reasonably practicable the safe and efficient movement of all road users through and around the working space. This requires a Risk Assessment be completed prior to the implementation of a traffic management operation.

Consultation / Engagement

5. All temporary road closures must be publicly notified by Tauranga City Council allowing a 21-day period for the public to submit comments. Any objections must be considered by the Committee before making a decision on the requested temporary road closure.

(a) The temporary road closures were publicly notified on 22 September 2020.

(b) The consultation period finishes on 13 October 2020. No objections had been received when this report was prepared.

Significance

6. Under the Significance and Engagement Policy 2014, these decisions are of low significance and do not require public consultation.
