SUBMISSIONS DUE ON MAY 21ST TO ASK COUNCIL TO SET ASIDE MONEY FOR THE GODLEY HOUSE SITE!
BACKGROUND
Stoddart Point is an important landform in Lyttelton Harbour, a valu-able destination for locals and visitors alike. Recent earthquake events have resulted in an opportunity for Stoddart Point to develop its village centre infrastructure and atmosphere, and continue to provide a valu-able asset to the local and greater Christchurch communities into the future.
Godley House was an important part of Stoddart Point for over 100 years and its unfortunate destruction in the earthquakes of 2010/11 has provided a unique opportunity for the redevelopment of this site.
The findings from the community consultation last year showed a clear preference for an inclusive plan to be developed for Stoddart Point. Stod-dart Point, also referred to as “The Point”, includes: the former Godley House site, Stoddart Cottage, the Sports/Hall Facilities, the Memorial Gardens. This plan will consider existing commercial businesses, exist-ing buildings, landforms, the connections between them, and any poten-tial re-development of the Godley House site in context of this larger landscape.
WHAT/WHO IS SPRIG?
A Diamond Harbour and Bays Community project, aiming to restore and rejuvenate what we’ve lost (and need) to keep our community vibrant... together.
(Stoddart Point Regeneration Ideas Group) is a group of local people, passionate about supporting the post-earthquake recovery of our com-munity and is a sub-committee of the Diamond Harbour Community As-sociation. SPRIG is here to negotiate the restoration and rejuvenation of our side of the Harbour on behalf of you, the communities of Diamond Harbour and Bays from Port Levy to Teddington.
SPRIG liaises with all local residents’ associations and seeks to work with all local groups as well as local government, CERA and anyone else we need to achieve the outcomes you define. Our membership is fluid and if you have an idea or wish to support a project then you are welcome to join for as long as suits you. We are not decision makers! You make the decisions!!!!

10.5 Demographic profile 1991 – 2006
The information utilised for the demographic profile of this document have been taken from information supplied by Statistics New Zealand from the 1991, 1996, 2001 and 2006 census. The next census is scheduled for 2011. Please see the two graphs below and on the next page for statistical information on Diamond Harbour. Graph 1 details population numbers by age group in Diamond Harbour between 1991 – 2006. Graph 2 details the total population in Diamond Harbour between 1991 – 2006. There has been steady increases in most age categories except for the 15 – 24 year olds. What the increase in the adult, under 14 year olds and over 65’s demographic means for Diamond Harbour is that a greater variety of users will be demanding space in the reserves network. This is evident from the information gathering phase of the plan. The variety of ideas that the community had put forward is reflective of the differing needs of each age group. Groups and individuals from differing view points have helped to create a plan that represents the age demographic mix of Diamond Harbour. Diamond Harbour and its surrounds have been subject to an increasing population since 1991. With increased development comes a growing population. Diamond Harbours population has grown by over 400 people between 1991 – 2006. There has been a significant decrease in the growth between 2001 – 2006. During this time the population only grew by approximately 60 people. This is significantly lower than the approximate 177 and 201 between 1991 – 1996 and 1996 – 2001.

Please take the time to consider Diamond Harbour Village Centre at the moment and see how it measures up as a successful place, and where are the areas that can be improved? sourced from : http://www.pps.org; Project for Public Spaces (PPS) is an American nonprofit planning, design and educational organization dedicated to helping people create and sustain public spaces that build stronger communities. The text and diagram below is taken from some of their research.
Great public spaces are where celebrations are held, social and economic exchanges take
place, friends run into each other, and cultures mix. They are the “front porches” of our
public institutions – libraries, field houses, neighbourhood schools – where we interact
with each other and government. When the spaces work well, they serve as a stage for
our public lives.
What makes some places succeed while others fail?
In evaluating thousands of public spaces around the world, PPS has found that success-
ful ones have four key qualities: they are accessible; people are engaged in activities
there; the space is comfortable and has a good image; and finally, it is a sociable place:
one where people meet each other and take people when they come to visit. PPS devel-
oped The Place Diagram as a tool to help people in judging any place, good or bad:
Imagine that the centre circle on the diagram is a specific place that you know: a street
corner, a playground, a plaza outside a building. You can evaluate that place according to
four criteria in the red ring. In the ring outside these main criteria are a number of intui-
tive or qualitative aspects by which to judge a place; the next outer ring shows the quan-
titative aspects that can be measured by statistics or research.
To summarise diagram on the left: There is a strong local community
atmosphere already, however, there is the need for much better access
& linkages, and the opportunity for more activities and enhancement
of pedestrian areas.
SociabilityThis is a difficult quality for a place to achieve, but once attained it
becomes an unmistakable feature. When people see friends, meet
and greet their neighbours, and feel comfortable interacting with
strangers, they tend to feel a stronger sense of place or attach-
ment to their community – and to the place that fosters these
types of social activities.
Questions to consider on Sociability:• Is this a place where you would choose to meet your friends? Are
others meeting friends here or running into them?
• Are people in groups? Are they talking with one another?
• Do people seem to know each other by face or by name?
• Do people bring their friends and relatives to see the place or do
they point to one of its features with pride?
• Are people smiling? Do people make eye contact with each oth-
er?
• Do people use the place regularly and by choice?
• Does a mix of ages and ethnic groups that generally reflect the
community at large?
• Do people tend to pick up litter when they see it?
Access & LinkagesYou can judge the accessibility of a place by its connections to its
surroundings, both visual and physical. A successful public space
is easy to get to and get through; it is visible both from a distance
and up close. The edges of a space are important as well: For in-
stance, a row of shops along a street is more interesting and gen-
erally safer to walk by than a blank wall or empty lot. Accessible
spaces have a high parking turnover and, ideally, are convenient to
public transit.
Questions to consider on Access & Linkages:• Can you see the space from a distance? Is its interior visible
from the outside?
• Is there a good connection between the space and the adjacent
buildings, or is it surrounded by blank walls? Do occupants of ad-
jacent buildings use the space?
• Can people easily walk to the place? For example, do they have to
dart between moving cars to get to the place?
• Do sidewalks lead to and from the adjacent areas?
• Does the space function for people with special needs?
• Do the roads and paths through the space take people where
they actually want to go?
• Can people use a variety of transportation options – bus train,
car, bicycle, etc. – to reach the place?
• Are transit stops conveniently located next to destinations
such as libraries, post offices, park entrances, etc.?
Uses & ActivitiesActivities are the basic building blocks of a place. Having some-
thing to do gives people a reason to come to a place – and return.
When there is nothing to do, a space will be empty and that gener-
ally means that something is wrong.
Principles to keep in mind in evaluating the uses and activities of a place:• The more activities that are going and that people have an op-
portunity to participate in, the better.
• There is a good balance between men and women (women are
more particular about the spaces that they use).
• People of different ages are using the space (retired people and
people with young children can use a space during the day when
others are working).
• The space is used throughout the day.
• A space that is used by both singles and people in groups is bet-
ter than one that is just used by people alone because it means
that there are places for people to sit with friends, there is
more socializing, and it is more fun.
• The ultimate success of a space is how well it is managed.
Questions to consider on Uses & Activities:• Are people using the space or is it empty?
• Is it used by people of different ages?
• Are people in groups?
• How many different types of activities are occurring – people
walking, eating, playing baseball, chess, relaxing, reading?
• Which parts of the space are used and which are not?
• Are there choices of things to do?
• Is there a management presence, or can you identify anyone is in
charge of the space?
Comfort & ImageWhether a space is comfortable and presents itself well – has a
good image – is key to its success. Comfort includes perceptions
about safety, cleanliness, and the availability of places to sit – the
importance of giving people the choice to sit where they want is
generally underestimated. Women in particular are good judges on
comfort and image, because they tend to be more discriminating
about the public spaces they use.
Questions to consider on Comfort & Image:• Does the place make a good first impression?
• Are there more women than men?
• Are there enough places to sit? Are seats conveniently locat-
ed? Do people have is a choice of places to sit, either in the sun
or shade?
• Are spaces are clean and free of litter? Who is responsible for
maintenance? What do they do? When?
• Does the area feel safe? Is there a security presence? If so,
what do these people do? When are they on duty?
• Are people taking pictures? Are there many photo opportuni-
ties available?
• Do vehicles dominate pedestrian use of the space, or prevent
them from easily getting to the space?
• Great meeting point but opportunity for more activities & outdoor seating areas
• People friendly and talking to everyone
• Place used regularly
• Mix of ages
• Well used area by shop & Post in the daytime•Used by people of all ages although not enough
outdoor gathering spaces• People often in groups
•People walking, eating, sitting, market, but could be more
activities in area•most popular areas are by
cafe & where seats are•Opportunity for safer
outdoor area for seating & childrens
play area nearby•Local business own-
ership•Property values•Retail sales

EXISTING REGIONAL FACILITIES & COMMUNITY SUGGESTED OPTIONS
This schematic visually consolidates the commu-nity consultation and feed-back on Stoddart Point / Godley House regenera-tion.
It details the potential linkages of existing region-al facilities with regenera-tion options submitted by the community.
The option links are struc-tured to allow clear align-ment with existing facili-ties.
There are many possible combinations of develop-ment options.
The most likely outcome/ development of the Godley House site will be a combination of the ideas below to provide an economically viable complex. By offering a range of facilities throughout the day and evening, such a develop-ment would cater to a diverse group of people of all ages. It would create a vibrant village centre.
To be a successful place it will also need to connect well with other facilities on Stoddart Point.
The long term plan should allow for development of these ideas over time. Any design should consider how such staging could work most effectively.
Note: Carparking is required for most of the above facilities.
To follow are a diagrams depicting possible combinations that work well together.
This diagram shows how several facil ities can compliement each other and attract a diverse range of people of al l ages, al l day everyday. Another option? Do you think the Godley House/Stoddart
Point site is the ideal site for elderly house in Diamond Harbour?
This combination does not cater for as di-verse a range of ages of people and would not necessarily be attracting as many peo-ple everyday, al l day.

A range of community support for multiple options.
Consideration of existing facilities and businesses is vital.
Commercial viability is generally greatly enhanced with develop-ment of a combined multi-faceted regeneration strategy.
The potential for Vision success depends on attracting increased visitors to the Stoddart Point, Diamond Harbour and Southern Bays region, providing a destina-tion with clear points of difference and a multitude of opportunities.
Our proximity to Lyttelton and the Port with numerous cruise ship vis-its each year provides an excellent opportunity to attract tourists to our region.
Achievement of the Vision objec-tives would reinvigorate the sense of who we are as a community, and create a set of attractions that identify Diamond Harbour as a unique destination.

Requires a central village area as focal gathering point, with appropriate landscaping and built design
Challenging commercial proposition, estuarine water, costly to access, construct and maintain, impact on natural environment, may be viable with a hot water bore and other facilities
Outside visitor interest requires a unique point of difference, has potential to attract cruise ship tourists, needs to be managed professionally and equitably
Can be a key facet of all built and natural environment developments, encourage sustainable design and materials, costs could constrain ambitions unless major sponsors found
Overwhelming public support, no existing restaurant, serves a clear regional need, strong community support
Existing café would compete with, opportunity for alternative offering, would potentially thrive with strong community & visitor support
Strong public support, moderately viable stand alone, would compete with existing trailer service (seasonal patronage)
No existing facility (other than small B&B options), limited viability stand alone, but viable as a ‘stay-over destination’ with increased tourist numbers
Good public support, may compete with existing Memorial Hall, multi-use generic facility has greater potential for commercial success
Good public support, single use facility unlikely to be viable, multi-use facility has better chance of commercial success
Unlikely to be viable unless region provided a range of attractions and facilities such as accommodation, food, local area recreation and sporting attractions
Moderate viability stand alone, limited regional demand for commercial food production, brewery potential as a local attraction, subject to local plans and regulatory limitations
RMA requirements to onerous for a regional service, limited space, proximity to waterways, spill management, etc. Absence potentially limits visitor interest in Diamond Harbour
W ould ensure that cycling visitors patronise local amenities and facilities, maintains clear thoroughfares for foot traffic
Vital for linking the discrete regional services and facilities, pedestrians require clear delineation from road traffic
Geography dictates an alternative to foot access (steep grade) or car (limited parking), mechanised options (funicular) or electric carts a possibility
Vital to ensuring that visitors and locals are able to access Diamond Harbour amenities and facilities, requires careful planning and integration
Current small scale market could expand with strong local and visitor interest, local produce and consumable businesses developed, could rival Lyttelton market
Clear opportunity and support for Stoddart Point gardens revitalisation, in conjunction with overall area regeneration, develop themed gardens as a key attraction
Limited support, not commercially viable with costly equipment, too close to significant light sources (Lyttelton & Port)
Good support, attractive to local families with young children who wish to patronise the regional services and facilities, construct with natural and recycled materials
Requires a central village area as focal gathering point, with appropriate landscaping and built design
Can be overtly incorporated into built environment, consideration for cultural and heritage characteristics
Outside visitor interest requires a unique point of difference, has potential to attract cruise ship tourists, needs to be managed professionally and equitably
Enshrine the history of Stoddart Point and Godley House, either overtly or discretely, utilise residual materials from Godley House, create a unique heritage building

WHAT’S NEXT.....Possible future SPRIG events:• Zumba and tango dance classes on-going
• Business expo (community day where all local businesses can display/promote their existence in the Southern Bays; this could also be the opportunity for people to sound out any new business ideas or events if they are wanting to gauge com-munity support for an idea) - hopefully in a few months time
• Sublime Sounds at the Point - live music over the summer (same as last year); who would like to be involved this year? Everything is documented from last year with checklists of all that needs to be done so easy to organise this year!
• Sculpture on the Point - in association with music series, a small sculpture trail to be on display over the coming summer
• Other suggestions?
Note that the aim of these events is to: • foster community well-being and post-quake social and economic recovery &• to put DIAMOND HARBOUR back on the map as a destination place!
