The Ilam Upper Riccarton Residents Association have made a unanimous proposal embracing the proposal but stating we don't think it goes far enough with the inevitable growth of Campaus in the years ahead. I would invite you to send a submission endorsing the proposal and if you were not already to join our association by emailing me at

Our Submission follows
Submission from; Ilam Upper Riccarton Residents Association
RE; Proposed review of University Parking Plan
Spokesperson; Phil McGoldrick Chairman
The current plan is very dated and needs to be established for at least the next 5 years. Current student numbers have eclipsed pre earthquake levels and the University is on an aggressive growth plan and strategy. Our Committee has given the matter much urgent thought and discussion and is unanimous in its views. We agree with the circulated proposal but are adamant it does not go far enough to address serious problems in Area 3.
Our first consideration was to determine why we need a parking plan, and we think it is required for at least 5 different reasons
1. Safety. Current congestion and illegal parking over entranceways is making egress from and into properties dangerous.
2. Access. For residents to their own properties, visitors, service and emergency vehicles
3. Quiet and reasonable enjoyment of ones property and environs for rate and rent payers
4. Congestion
5. The need for an expanding and progressive modern city to do all it can to encourage its citizens to utilize public transport and embrace the many new cycleways in which council has invested enormously.
Cuirrent restrictions have done little to tackle this issue. A P120 on just one side of these streets enables students to park, attend their one lecture or do a limited amount on campus and depart again. Those wishing to stay longer and usually the full academic day then take ALL of the parking on the side opposite. It is also our experience that enforcement in the area is lax currently.
We believe that in the streets nearest the University that restrictions should apply to both sides of the street, and that residents should have permits, a maximum of 2 per residence which would grant them exemptions in these areas. Rutherglen currently enjoys these limitations and consequently has much lesser stress regarding traffic. Alternatively if there are restrictions on but one side of the street, the other should be “Residents Only” parking. There are many examples around New Zealand where this works successfully, Kelburn in Wellington is one that comes readily to mind.
We believe for the 5 reasons stated above restrictions should extend the full length of Parkstone Avenue and into the busy thoroughfare of Athol Terrace.
Our Association is quite adamant about these submissions and would suggest if Council don’t approve our extension of the proposal, residents should have a chance to meet publicly with City Council traffic engineers to hear and discuss the full rationale of their proposal or refusal to extend such.
