Ocean outfall to go along Jellicoe Street
15 December 2003
After considerable consultation with the South Brighton community and advice
from independent experts, the Christchurch City Council has approved
the recommendation that Jellicoe Street be used as the pipe route for the
Ocean
Outfall.
This was decided at the full Council meeting of 11 December,
2003.
Senior planning engineer for the Ocean Outfall, John Moore, acknowledged
that confirming Jellicoe Street as the pipe route provided certainty for
some and anxiety for others in the South Brighton community.
With this in mind, the Council would be keeping residents informed of further
developments through the:
- Ocean Outfall Newsletter, which goes to all residents from Shackleton
Street to the end of South Brighton Spit
- City Council Internet web site www.ccc.govt.nz/oceanoutfall
As part of the Ocean Outfall pipe route recommendation, the Council
also approved the redevelopment of Jellicoe Street using
the Living Streets process where reconstruction is required.
Plans for the street will be developed with those living in Jellicoe Street
at that time. The Council has also approved placing underground, utility
services such as power and telephone during this street reconstruction.
Mr Moore said that the Council had also resolved that the Parks and Waterways
Unit develop the South Brighton Domain in the vicinity of the pipe route
alignment at the completion of the pipeline construction.
This work would be planned and carried out in conjunction with the wider
community input.
For now, the following table indicates the Council’s proposed time
frame for construction of the Ocean Outfall:
