PALMERSTON NORTH CITY COUNCIL

Memorandum

TO: Council

MEETING DATE: 27 February 2017

TITLE: Broadway Avenue LTP Programme 1259

DATE: 7 February 2017

AUTHOR/S: Keegan Aplin-Thane, Policy Planner, City Future

RECOMMENDATION(S) TO Council

1. That Council prioritise spending for Long-Term Plan Programme 1259 on a comprehensive lighting plan for Broadway Avenue (The Square to Princess Street), Berrymans Lane and Regent Arcade.

2. That Council endorse the use of the balance of Long-Term Plan Programme 1259 on parklets, a landscaping scheme, and power infrastructure as the budget permits.

1. ISSUE

A Long-Term Plan programme has been scheduled for the financial year 2016/17.

This memorandum seeks direction on the preferred option for the use of the $304,000 allocated for Broadway Avenue within Long-Term Plan programme 1259.

2. BACKGROUND

This memorandum has been prepared by the City Future unit, in coordination with City Networks staff.

A carry-forward for Long-Term Plan Programme 1259 to the financial year 2017/2018 will be issued due to unforeseen decision-making requirements.

Strategic Context: Broadway

1. Broadway Avenue, between The Square and Princess Street, was once the main comparative retail location within the City. As other comparative retail centres have grown, the role of Broadway Avenue has changed. Key challenges faced by retailers on Broadway Avenue in the past eight years have been the move made by key anchor tenant Farmers and growing online retail competition. While it still operates as a comparative retail destination, it has taken on a greater night-time role which is well supported by key anchor-activities The Regent Theatre and Downtown Cinemas. Figure 1 supports these observations, as Broadway Avenue’s retail tenancies are at its lowest count and food and beverage tenancies are at its highest count in eight years. During this transition, vacancies were at its highest count for the street in 2013.

Figure 1: Store Type Trends on Broadway Avenue Between 2008 – 2016

2. The growth in Broadway Avenue’s after-5pm economy is shown in figure 2 below. Where the rest of the CBD has seen 85% growth in takeaway restaurant spending, and 6% growth in spending at cafes, bars and restaurants, Broadway Avenue’s ability to support dinner-and-show activities has resulted in an opposite growth pattern: only 16% growth in takeaway restaurant spending and 199% growth in spending at cafes, bars, and restaurants. The spill-over benefits of these activities have resulted in a 24% increase in spending at retailers after 5pm since 2009, opposite to the trend across the CBD.

Figure 2: Trends in Night-time Retail, Hospitality, and Takeaway Sectors in Broadway Compared with the Rest of the CBD

3. As shown in figure 3 below, Broadway Avenue’s day-time economy followed a similar trend in terms of hospitality spending, but spending at retail and takeaway stores has fallen since 2009. This has occurred as a result of the transition from retail to hospitality tenancies.

Figure 3: Trends in Day-time Retail, Hospitality, and Takeaway Sectors in Broadway Compared with the Rest of the CBD

4. Broadway Avenue faces similar challenges to the rest of the CBD with respect to identity. In the absence of precinct groups to manage the retail mix of the street, Broadway has become three parts:

a. The Square to The Regent: Predominant day-time retail with a small proportion of hospitality vendors.

b. Regent and Downtown: Entertainment core and major north-south pedestrian connector.

c. Regent and Downtown to Princess Street: Predominant night-time hospitality with a smaller proportion of retail vendors.

5. Store type trends since 2008 for sections a. and c. above have shown that:

a. The proportion of retail and food and beverage tenancies have remained fairly stable for the section of Broadway Avenue between The Square and The Regent Theatre. See figure 4 below.

Figure 4: Store Type Trends on Broadway Avenue (The Square – The Regent Theatre) Between 2008 – 2016

b. The number of food and beverage tenancies has surpassed the number of retail tenancies from approximately 2011 onwards for the section of Broadway Avenue between The Regent Theatre and Princess Street. See figure 5 below.

Figure 5: Storetype Trends on Broadway Avenue (The Square – The Regent Theatre) Between 2008 – 2016

6. The fact that there is no portion of Broadway Avenue solely made up of one store type (e.g. all retail or all hospitality), there is a risk that public investment will be directed towards generalised upgrades that seek to cater to everyone. Investment that is targeted towards leveraging a particular type of street is considered to be more place-based and contextual to the street, enabling a unique public space to emerge. In this context, catering investment towards the night-time dinner-and-show economy is what will set Broadway Avenue apart from the rest of the City Centre.

7. Broadway Avenue still enjoys the benefits of significant public investment made during the 1990s. This included investment in The Regent Theatre and the supporting streetscape upgrade. The current streetscape offers a higher level of service than many other City centre comparative retail areas.

8. If funded via the Long-Term Plan, Broadway Avenue will enjoy a substantial increase in the level of service with the implementation of a future streetscape upgrade as part of the City Centre Streetscape Plan. This includes updated paving and street furniture, reduction in the camber of the road, an enhancement of the public space outside the Regent/Downtown, and increased footpath widths to better facilitate outdoor dining. A portable canopy for events was explored as part of the Streetscape Plan in response to The Regent Theatre Trust Board’s request to consider a canopy over the public space between The Regent and Downtown. The timing of this upgrade is subject to consultation and financial prioritisation. Catenary lighting, uplighting of trees and significant facades, and lighting artworks were recognised in the City Centre Streetscape Plan as an important additional layer for the ambience of the City Centre.

9. Due to the unconfirmed timing of the City Centre Streetscape Plan upgrade, all investment in Broadway Avenue needs to recognise the temporary nature of the streetscape. Any capital invested in Broadway needs to either:

a. Be relocatable to another part of the City to make way for a streetscape upgrade;

b. Have a short life-cycle to be disposed of to make way for a permanent streetscape upgrade; or

c. Be able to be incorporated into a permanent streetscape upgrade with a long enough life-cycle cost and complimentary enough aesthetic for a modern streetscape.

10. Like the majority of the land located inside the ring road, Broadway Avenue is zoned Inner Business within the District Plan. The Inner Business Zone requires the built environment to support comparative retailing via active and narrow shop frontages, clear glazing, and no on-site car-parking requirements. Broadway Avenue currently achieves this objective very well. Recent private investment has made a positive contribution in this regard. Broadway Avenue continues to be well-supported by increased tenancies and the recent 42nd Street Eatery in Downtown is projected to have a substantial benefit to Broadway Avenue’s agglomeration of food businesses.

11. Broadway Avenue is also identified as a ‘Place Street’ within the City Centre Framework. Any intervention by the Council or the Broadway Avenue community needs to recognise the key characteristics of a Place Street as a destination for people, pedestrian priority, destination oriented vehicle activity, active edges, low speeds, and human scale. The role of a Place Street is to lay the platform for quality street engagement and spill-out from businesses. Broadway Avenue benefits substantially from being well connected to Main and King Streets and the Downtown parking building as car parking resources. These connections need to be strengthened and protected to ensure that Broadway Avenue does not need to rely on its immediate parking capacity within the Street.

12. Council had received a petition from Broadway Avenue retailers calling for the removal of Broadway Avenue’s street trees due to the effects of bird roosting and leaf-fall on parked cars, footpaths, and buildings. In December 2014, Council resolved to remove the trees and leave the stumps to be part of a carving programme. This programme was not able to be pursued any further so a series of planter boxes have been installed over the stumps as a short-medium term solution until the streetscape upgrade is implemented.

13. A placemaking intervention was undertaken in 2014 outside The Regent Theatre and Downtown. With a modest budget, Council and a small group of community members demonstrated what could be done on a smaller scale to create a series of complimentary activities for people on Broadway Avenue. Council continues to maintain the barrier-free environment for retailers to utilise the street to attract people, for instance mimimal requirements for merchandise, tables, chairs and planter boxes in public space, encouraging liquor licenses to include the footpath and providing support for parklets. Some retailers engage well with the street, however on balance there has been limited reaction from Broadway landowners and retailers. Current challenges faced by Broadway Avenue include:

a. Private landowners’ willingness to maintain or invest in their buildings.

b. Retailers’ perceptions about vandalism and safety with regards to outdoor dining, merchandising, and activities in public space.

Scope to Long-Term Plan Programme 1259

14. The scope of Long-Term Plan Programme 1259 is as follows:

a. $304,000.

b. Capital expenditure only.

c. Can only be spent on Council assets.

d. Will need to be carried forward to the next financial year due to unforeseen decision-making timelines.

e. For Broadway Avenue.

4. CONCLUSION

With a limited budget it is important that the decision about programme 1259 recognises the need to get the best value for money until a full streetscape upgrade is implemented. Reinforcing the characteristics of Broadway Avenue that make it different and the critical components of the street that enable its success are value for money.

Providing a unique night-time experience will confirm Broadway East’s (Regent/Downtown to Princess) role as a hospitality precinct. Safety and activity in the adjacent Berrymans Lane and Regent Arcade is key for connecting dinner and show patrons to the wider King/Queen/Main Street parking catchment.

Providing attractive public space for people to eat at or rest in outdoors is key to improving the visible public life for Broadway Avenue. We know that people attract people as evidenced in areas such as Little Cuba and George Street. Parklets have proven to be effective temporary tools in retrofitting uncomfortable spaces into spaces that people naturally want to spend time in, as evidenced by various parklets down George and Main Streets. The more time people spend down a street, the more money they are likely to spend, further ensuring the economic resilience of Broadway Avenue for the future.

Since Council approved the removal of established street trees in 2014, there has been a lack of greenspace to balance the hard elements of the streetscape. Short-medium term planter boxes installed over the tree stumps have remediated the issue to a limited extent, however Broadway Avenue still lacks greenery at height and breadth across the street that the previous London Plane trees provided. The introduction of manageable trees placed closer into the centre of the street and at the entrances, but away from parked cars, would provide a similar scale of greenspace without the cost of bird-droppings harming the street.

There may be a need for the streetscape to support growing events to leverage the hospitality sector along Broadway Avenue. The Council is looking to promote more events down Broadway to raise the level of visible public life in the street, and prototype things such as outdoor dining for restauranteurs. Power infrastructure will ultimately be a necessity for event organisers along the hospitality precinct to open up opportunities for events and activities.

The proven success of hanging baskets locally and nationally for improving the look and feel in retail streets raises the question whether Broadway Avenue should take a similar approach in reintroducing greenery into the street. As the baskets would be set back from the centre of the street, this option would have less visual effect compared to the landscaping plan.

The events canopy proposed in the City Centre Streetscape Plan may open up more times of the year when events could occur in Broadway Avenue by providing some level of weather-resistance. However, the prototyping of events has not occurred successfully enough to warrant substantial investment in this type of events infrastructure, especially given that there are many times of year where events are not occurring down Broadway Avenue, despite the weather not being an issue. As demand for events in the area increases, then it would be appropriate to re-consider an events canopy.

The opportunity for a public sculpture on the corner of Broadway Avenue and The Square was signalled in the City Centre Streetscape Plan and identified by the Sculpture Trust as a preferred site. Due to uncertainty around the timing of the streetscape upgrade, Council considers the installation of a new sculpture at this site to be premature.

Upgrading the street furniture along Broadway would help make the street look tidier, however it may out-date the rest of the street quickly. Refurbishment of the existing street furniture is considered more cost-effective and aesthetically consistent.
