Former tavern site 

unlikely for skate park 

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD 

It looks like it will be back to the 

drawing board in the search for 

a new site for Sumner’s contentious 

skate park. 

The Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board has been looking 

at whether the former Marine 

Tavern site, on the corner of 

Nayland St and Wakefield Ave, 

could be an option. 

But a city council report 

that the board will discuss at 

its meeting today, says the 

red-zoned site would need a 

geotechnical report carried out 

before it could gain consent to 

use it. 

The report would include 

site-mapping of the true nature 

of the hazard and rockfall, which 

would cost about $35,000. 

A full geotechnical risk 

assessment looking at the 

specific risk association with 

INSIDE: • Plan to remove containers, p3 • Rise Up comments, p8 

these hazards would cost an 

additional $15,000. 

The skate park was originally 

planned to go at Scarborough 

Beach Park, with Levi’s 

paying $180,000 towards its 

construction. 

However, the city council 

received some opposition to the 

location, and Levi’s pulled its 

funding in August because of the 

delay in gaining consent. 

In August, Bay Harbour News 

learned that the city council 

had already spent $100,000 of 

ratepayer money on the project 

after Levi’s pulled out. 

The board then retracted its 

decision for the skate park to go 

at Scarborough Beach Park, 

and asked for the report on the 

possibility of using the Marine 

Tavern site. 

Land Information New 

Zealand is in control of the 

red-zoned land, and the report 

said the board could make an 

application to use the site for 

temporary use, but a permanent 

skate park would be off the 

table. 

The board will decide whether 

it is worth pursuing the Marine 

Tavern site at today’s meeting. 

If it does not want to pursue, 

city council staff would continue 

to look at other possible sites 

between Ferrymead and 

Sumner.

Plan to remove containers 

BACH 


Clifton’s Main Rd rockfall 

protection shipping containers 

could be removed by November. 

Land Information New Zealand 

wants to begin clearing unstable 

rock and earth from Deans Head 

as early as May. 

It has applied for resource 

consent to carry out the work 

which would reduce the risk of 

cliff collapse or rock fall onto the 

road below. 

The work would see about 

63,300m3 of earth moved from 

Deans Head to nearby Shag Rock 

Reserve. 

Two cuts will be made; a lower 

rock cut at the toe of the slope 

to enable rock removal, and an 

upper soil cut linking into the 

green-zoned land at the head of 

the cliff. 

The work will take place at the 

same time as Crown red-zoned 

properties on the hill are being 

demolished. 

The shipping containers could 

then be removed and the hill 

would be replanted. 

The work is part of the Sumner 

Lyttelton Corridor Project, which 

aims to make the route from 

Main Rd through Evans Pass Rd, 

Sumner Rd to Lyttelton, safe for 

motorists. 

Sumner Rd has been closed 

TO GO: As part of the Sumner Lyttelton Corridor Project, about 

63,300m3 of earth would be removed from Deans Head, Clifton, to 

make the road safe from rockfall and cliff collapse. 

since the February 2011 

earthquake, while shipping 

containers have lined the 

remainder of the corridor. 

The city council has put 

the plan out for public 

consultation, which closes on 

March 29. 

HAVE YOUR SAY 

Will you be happy to see the 

shipping containers removed 

from below Deans Head?

TO BE REMOVED 

A Port Levy bach that has 

been in the Stewart family for 

65 years will be removed. The 

city council voted on Thursday 

for the bach to be removed, 

because it is built on a ‘paper 

road’. The city council owns 

most of the land and has plans 

to upgrade it, while Te Runanga 

O Koukourarata Society owns 

about 7 sq m of it, and wants to 

build baches on the land. The 

family will have two years to 

remove the bach. 

CYCLE LANES APPROVED 

A $1.8 million upgrade to make 

Sumner more pedestrian and 

cycle-friendly was approved by 

the city council on Thursday. 

The upgrade will see Marriner 

St West and Wakefield Ave have 

wider footpaths, new cycle lanes 

and improved landscaping. 

The cycleways would, however, 

result in the loss of 25 car 

parks. The upgrade includes an 

18-month 30km/h speed limit 

trial. Construction is expected 

to begin in February 2017. 

LEASE GRANTED 

Lyttelton Information Centre 

has been granted a 10-year lease 

to continue occupying 20 Oxford 

St. The city council agreed 

to grant the lease at its meeting 

on Thursday. Meanwhile, 

the city council also decided to 

extend Mt Pleasant Yacht Club’s 

lease by 35 years.

Scheme to 

stop flooding 

approved 

A scheme to stop flooding in 

Heathcote Valley has been 

approved. 

City councillors officially 

approved the design and construction 

of a pipeline diversion 

for the Matuku Waterway flood 

mitigation works at their meeting 

on Thursday. 

The diversion would transfer 

flows from Heathcote Valley 

Drain in Morgan’s Valley to 

the lower Matuku Waterway in 

Cooks Lane. 

The works are estimated to cost 

up to $2.5 million, funded from 

the Land Drainage Recovery 

Programme Budget. 

Head of Three Waters and 

Waste John Mackie said the 

city council was working to get 

a good picture of flood risk in 

catchments across the city. 

“These works are a good example 

of this. Now we have council 

approval, we will look to begin 

construction fairly promptly on 

some of these works so we can 

soon bring greater flood resilience 

to properties in this area. 

“We will continue to work 

closely with the Heathcote Valley 

community to keep them updated 

during the course of the works.” 

Historic Gaiety back in business 

Akaroa will finally have one of its 

popular heritage buildings back 

following the earthquakes. 

Repairs to The Gaiety, which is a 

function centre and gathering place, 

have just been completed, in time for 

the official reopening on April 1. 

Banks Peninsula councillor Andrew 

Turner said the date had a certain 

symmetry. 

“The original opening of the hall, 

which started out as the Oddfellows 

Lodge, was April 3 in 1879.” 

He will officially reopen it 

alongside Mayor Lianne Dalziel. 

“The hall has a proud history in 

Akaroa, and its closure over the last 

five years has definitely been felt. The 

opening celebration, organised by the 

Friends of the Gaiety group, will also 

Safety key to school car park plan 


Several changes to parking in 

Lyttelton are on the cards to 

make it safer for pupils going to 

the new primary school. 

The city council plan would 

see a P3 drop-off and pick-up 

zone installed outside the new 

school’s entrance on Oxford St. 

It would operate from 8.15am- 

9.15am and from 2.30pm- 

3.30pm on school days, while 

serve as a thank you to the community 

for their patience. 

“The journey has been challenging 

and rewarding, and the end result is a 

better, stronger Gaiety that will last for 

generations to come,” Mr Turner said. 

City council heritage rebuild programme 

manager Richie Moyle took 

a small group through the building 

recently. 

“The general response was delightful 

– particularly when everyone got 

to see the extent and quality of the 

repairs and strengthening,” Mr Moyle 

said. 

“It’s as beautiful as ever, but now it 

has the added bonus of real structural 

strength. If Akaroa ever felt a strong 

shake, The Gaiety is where I’d want 

to be.” 

normal 120min parking would 

operate outside those times. 

Lyttelton Primary School, 

which is the result of the merger 

of Lyttelton Main and West 

schools, is being built on the 

corner of Oxford St and Sumner 

Rd. 

It is expected to open in May. 

Two P5 spaces would be installed 

outside No 20, London St, 

for short-term parking as well as 

school pick-up and drop-offs. 

IT’S BACK: A small group got a sneak peak inside The 

Gaiety before its opening at the start of next month. 

Currently this is P60 on weekdays 

from 8am-5pm. 

A stop sign would replace the 

give way sign on London St at 

its intersection with Oxford St, 

which would improve the operation 

of the intersection and make 

it safer for pedestrians. 

The no stopping restrictions 

outside numbers 13, 17, 18 and 

20 on Winchester St would also 

be removed to provide more 

parking spaces. 

The current P10 school day 

parking restrictions on both sides 

of Oxford St, between London 

and Winchester Sts would also be 

removed as part of the plan. 

Consultation on the plan began 

on Thursday and will close 

on March 31.

Rare car to go on display 

Hispano Suiza 

from TV series 

will be at fete 


Governors Bay residents 

heading along to the fete this 

weekend will be able to catch 

a glimpse of an Australian 

television star. 

The 1923 Hispano Suiza 

vehicle, which featured in 

Australian television series 

Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries 

will be on display at Allandale 

Domain all day on Sunday. 

The series, which first aired 

in 2012, revolves around Essie 

Davis’ character Phryne Fisher, 

who is a glamorous private 

detective. 

She drove around in a red 

Hispano Suiza – the very 

car that is now owned by a 

Governors Bay local. 

The owner, who wanted to 

remain anonymous, said he 

bought the vehicle from a friend 

in Melbourne about three years 

ago, after it had become the star 

of the show. 

But it only arrived in Governors 

Bay about a year ago 

because it was still being used 

for filming. 

The car enthusiast had owned 

the same model about 35 years 

ago but sold it, and was always 

keen to buy his friend’s one. 

He said there were only 

about three Hispano Suiza’s in 

Australia, and that one happened 

to be red, the colour of the 

vehicle in the book the series 

was based on. 

The vehicle is not the only 

link the bay has to the television 

series. 

When Governors Bay resident 

Rosie Belton was living in 

Tasmania, she was Ms Davis’ 

theatre teacher. 

Ms Belton said through the 

theatre classes, her daughter 

Amy and Essie became good 

friends.

will be on display at

Fete this weekend. 

Below: Governors 

Bay resident Rosie 

Belton with actress 

Essie Davis when 

she visited the bay 

in 1987. 

“I thought both her and Amy 

were very talented, they were 

both a bit naughty but they were 

both really talented kids,” she 

said. 

“Essie had the right face 

shape, she’s got that look.” 

Ms Davis will star in season 

six of the hit-series Game of 

Thrones which comes out next 

month. 

The annual fete raises money 

for the community, with last 

year’s funds going towards a 

defibrillator. 

About 3500 people turned out 

last year. 

ROAD NAMES 

The Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board will decide 

today on new road names for 

Greenwood Farm Subdivision, 

on Richmond Hill. The city 

council is proposing the new 

roads be called Oxenhope Rd, 

Sowerby Place and Ridgeway 

Place. Stages two and three of 

the subdivision are currently in 

development, and it will create 

30 residential allotments. The 

board will decide at its meeting 

this afternoon. 

TRAFFIC SIGNALS 

Governors Bay Rd, Rapaki, 

has temporary traffic signals 

operating while the retaining 

wall is being repaired outside 

number 191. The westbound 

lane closed on Monday and the 

work is expected to take about 

three months. 

COMMUNITY WORKSHOP 

A workshop will be held on 

March 30 to discuss what 

is needed in the interior of 

the new Heathcote Valley 

community facility. Community 

Governance Team staff have 

been meeting with members 

of the Heathcote Volunteer 

Library and Heathcote Valley 

Community Association to 

discuss the finishing, furniture 

and fittings for the facility 

to address the needs of the 

community.

COMMUNITY 

BUILDING: Chris 

Doudney and 

Christine Toner, 

of the Redcliffs 

Residents’ 

Association, want 

the Redcliffs 

Community 

Pavilion to be 

repaired so it can 

be used again. 

Future of pavilion 

back in discussion 


The future of earthquakedamaged 

Redcliffs Community 

Pavilion will be back on the 

table today. 

The Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board will again be 

asked to approve the city council 

recommendation to transfer the 

ownership of the building to the 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association 

for $1. 

The association has been 

working with the city council 

since early 2015 to try and get 

the pavilion repaired. 

But last month, city council 

staff asked the board to make the 

transfer to the residents’ association 

without repairing it. 

The board decided to defer 

making a decision for one 

month so a workshop could be 

held with all the affected parties. 

The pavilion sits at the back of 

Redcliffs Park, next to the road. 

The city council said there 

were already five other community 

facilities in the area, and the 

$100,000 set aside to repair the 

pavilion could be better spent 

elsewhere. 

But the Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association just wants the building 

repaired so it could be used, 

and did not want to own it. 

It said the association would not 

have the means to come up with 

the money to repair the building. 

The community board meeting 

will be held at 3.30pm. 

School pool to 

reopen with splash 

The Heathcote Valley 

community will celebrate the 

reopening of its school pool at a 

special ceremony this week. 

The school pool was 

significantly damaged in the 

February 2011 earthquake and 

needed to be rebuilt. 

It reopened to the public in December, 

but an official opening to 

celebrate its return and acknowledge 

the community support will 

be held on Friday at 2pm. 

The pool’s return has already 

proved popular, with more that 

140 families and households 

buying keys for it. 

School pupils have been receiving 

swimming lessons and 

parents have been saying it has 

had a positive impact on their 

children’s water confidence and 

ability. 

A rebuild plan for the pool 

was agreed on midway through 

last year, and the community 

was faced with raising $350,000 

for the repair and the pool-side 

development. 

It received a significant grant 

from the New Zealand Community 

Trust late last year, as well 

as a significant earlier grant 

COMMUNITY ASSET: The Heathcote Valley School Pool will have its

from the Christchurch Earthquake 

Appeal Trust. 

Almost $330,000 has been 

raised so far. 

“The support of the local and 

wider community for this project 

has been amazing,” principal 

Greg Lewis said. 

“We’ve had really generous 

donations from more than a 

dozen local businesses and 

organisations, such as the Valley 

Inn Tavern, the Freemasons, 

Heathcote Valley Preschool, 

and the Sumner-Ferrymead 

Foundation. And our school 

families have really got behind 

our ‘buy a leaf’ campaign, 

where families purchase a 

personalised leaf that will be 

attached to a vine mural on the 

pool wall.” 

Money still needs to be raised 

to develop the pool-side and 

adjoining green space.

How are your roads being repaired? 

• SCIRT’s repair programme is delivering functional and 

serviceable roads. 

• The extent of road repairs varies from full reconstruction 

where there is extensive earthquake damage to isolated 

patch repairs. 

• The result may look a little patchy, but will be done 

to a high standard and the Council will monitor the 

condition and prioritise further work as part of its 

maintenance programme. 

• So far SCIRT has completed 83 per cent of its road 

repair programme. 

• After SCIRT completes its work at the end of this year, 

the Christchurch City Council and NZ Transport Agency 

will continue road repairs in their programmes.

Response to plans to repair 

the stone cottage on top of 

Sumner’s Cave Rock: 

Marie Stanley: Oh it is so 

important. It is after all an important 

part of being a Cantabrian. 

Yes, I know houses still need 

fixing, but it is equally important 

to save as much as possible 

the character and beginnings of 

this wonderful beautiful city. 

This is wonderful news. 

Response to the city council’s 

decision to temporarily ban 

freedom camping from French 

Farm, Wainui and Ferrymead’s 

Windsport Park: 

Ian N San, Hamilton: Well 

I live on the Peninsula and do 

freedom camp, to be fair folk 

that don’t freedom camp can 

be just as bad.....where we live 

at Kaituna Valley, folk dump 

rubbish all the time at Sunset 

point, and they are not freedom 

campers, just everyday people 

that can’t be bothered going to 

the dump!! 

Chris Mair: Some freedom 

campers abuse the freedom to 

camp places for nothing and 

use it as their own private toilet 

and dump. Happens in Australia 

too sad to say. As to how 

much money these particular 

tourists spend – err hello, they 

want somewhere to stay for 

nothing so I can’t see them 

being big spenders, like the 

ones in the park near home . . 

. could be wrong though (and 

could be right too). 

Gabrielle McDonagh: 

Ferrymead had turned into a 

toilet, great decision! 

Pamela Neil: Who is going to 

police it?? 

Sally Bowring: So that is the 

catch-22 isn’t it? People don’t 

want them there, the council 

says “No” and then will be 

blamed for the extra money 

needed to police the site. 

Sam Caley: About time!!! 

How does freedom camping 

bring money into our economy 

when they aren’t paying to stay 

anywhere! Yet our taxes pay for 

the bins they fill, the grass they 

kill and it makes our parks look 

like rubbish dumps or public 

toilets! Get rid of freedom 

campers in the city!! 

Last week Bay Harbour News 

asked readers what they 

thought of the possibility of the 

Stewart family’s Port Levy bach 

being removed to make way 

for city council and Te Runanga 

O Koukourarata Society 

developments. 

Bruce Glennie, Church Bay: 

I think that it is grossly unfair 

to force the Stewart family to 

remove the bach, particularly 

when it occupies around 7 sq 

m of Te Runanga’s land. Such 

a small piece of land, a relative 

postage stamp would not make 

any difference to their ability 

to develop the land for new 

baches. The Stewart family have 

paid rates to the city council 

in good faith for over half a 

century, for what, for the council 

which gladly took their rates to 

now kick them off the land. 

As for Te Runanga O 

Koukourarata Society, how 

small-minded and selfish, they 

really know how to kick a 

family when they are down. 

Mary Wilkie: From reading 

this article and several others 

lately relating to the bach the 

Stewarts have owned for many 

years, the decision to insist this 

is demolished is quite without 

any real foundation as to who 

owns the land. 

Historically (without being 

racist) there were other peoples 

here for longer than the Maori, 

whom on a technicality, could 

be called settlers like the rest of 

us as their tenure is not in the 

thousands of years but rather 

several hundred. Does this make 

them the rightful owners of 

the land, if so, whom did they 

purchase it from? They just took 

over. Where does it give them 

the right to insist the city council 

act for their benefit alone. 

As I understand it there is really 

only a few metres of land in 

dispute. If the Stewarts reduce 

the size of their bach then a 

compromise would be reached 

which would be fair to all. 

Seventy-five years is a long time 

for a family to have enjoyed 

what the Maori claim should 

only be for them to enjoy. It just 

does not seem a fair resolution. 

A reader responds to 

comments in last week’s 

edition about Redcliffs School: 

Jean Cory-Wright, 

Redcliffs: 

I’d like to say well done to 

Emma Maguire Alldridge: The 

Redcliffs School debate is all 

smoke and mirrors. The Government 

is using an emotive issue 

such as child safety to hide the 

real agenda. 

The hidden agenda is a rationalisation 

of schools into mega 

schools and is probably money 

driven. The school site has been 

declared safe by experts. The 

school site is further away from 

a cliff than Sumner School 

is. Both schools are needed in 

this community. The idea of 

mega schools has been tested 

elsewhere in the world and it 

doesn’t work. 

With respect, the people who 

have been writing “safety first” 

in their emails may not know the 

full story and may not have read 

the details in the cliff report. I 

admire their concern for children 

but they are not helping the 

bigger case for the community. 

They could also be perceived as 

smoke screens using an emotive 

shout to cover the background 

political hidden agenda. 

So please, read the cliff report, 

and if you still think it’s unsafe, 

then lobby for the school to be 

moved to another Redcliffs site, 

so that it can continue to exist. 

At the moment your cries 

about safety are actually helping 

the minister close the school. 

I believe in the role that strong 

communities play, in the overall 

development of our young 

people. They feel valued in a 

small community. 

In a mega school everybody 

is a nobody. If they all grow up 

feeling under valued, they won’t 

cope very well with the bigger 

future challenges that will be 

thrown at us. This community is 

fantastic and it needs the support 

of us all! So please don’t be 

distracted by the smoke screens! 

I believe that the Redcliffs 

School site has been made safe 

and can be made even safer with 

a bund. Above this, whatever 

the decision about the school 

site, Redcliffs School needs to 

continue to exist somewhere in 

the Redcliffs area. 

A message from Redcliffs 

School principal: 

Kia ora everyone! My name 

is Rose McInerney and I am 

the new principal of Redcliffs 

School for 2016. It is a privilege 

and an honour to take over this 

role and I am very excited about 

leading a fantastic year of teaching 

and learning at Redcliffs 

School. 

I have been a teacher and then 

deputy principal here for about 

14 years and it is very special 

to become the principal at this 

important time. Our priority is 

giving the children an amazing 

2016 no matter what. We 

have great learning programmes 

in place, a range of academic, 

music, cultural and sports 

programmes and a wonderful 

school production to look forward 

to later in the year. 

We are very thankful to our 

whole extended bays community 

for the support that you are giving 

in our campaign to return to 

Redcliffs. The whole community 

and all the local schools have 

been behind Redcliffs School 

supporting us every step of the 

way and your support has been 

felt and embraced. Thank you! 

At the moment the Redcliffs 

School board of trustees are 

working very hard on the final 

submission to send to the Minister 

of Education Hekia Parata. 

How you can help 

If you would like to help our 

school at the moment we are 

sending ‘Postcards to Parliament’ 

over the next few weeks 

to remind our key politicians of 

these three strong messages. 

The scientific reports say that 

Redcliffs School is as safe as 

any school in New Zealand – so 

why does this Government want 

to close it? Zero submissions in 

favour of closure and 2700 in 

favour of Redcliffs School staying 

open. Redcliffs School is the heart 

of our community and we do not 

accept the Government’s reasons 

for closure. 

We have thousands of these 

postcards ready to post, if you 

would like a bundle please 

phone our school office or 

collect some from Redcliffs 

Pharmacy or Morgan and Page. 

We would like these postcards 

to be given to your friends all 

over NZ so that the Government 

realise that this is a nationwide 

issue and that every school in 

NZ has the chance of future 

disruption. It is freepost to 

Parliament and they are already 

addressed and ready to go. 

We also have a ‘Givealittle’ 

fund to assist purely with the 

costs associated in the campaign 

to return our school to Redcliffs. 

You can either send in a cheque 

to the Redcliffs School office 

c/- Van Asch college Truro 

St, Sumner. Or you can go 

online to make a donation 

to givealittle.co.nz/cause/ 

supportRedcliffsschool or phone 

our school office to talk to our 

office ladies on 384 3853 and 

they can help you further. 

Thank you again. It’s all for our 

kids!

ENTERTAINMENT: Redcliffs School’s student leaders have 

organised lunch time concerts so the pupils can sit around and 

watch their peers perform. The concerts take place every Friday. 

FINAL PRODUCT: Flox 

and Wongi created 

these murals on some 

of Akaroa Area School’s 

buildings. 

GETTING CREATIVE: Akaroa 

Area School buildings were 

brought to life after street artists, 

Flox and Wongi, visited the 

school. The artists ran workshops 

with the pupils, and created 

murals with stencils and spray 

paint. The project was part of 

this year’s Artists in Residence 

which brings creative people into 

schools to share their skills with 

the pupils. It ties in with Akaroa’s 

initiative to celebrate and make 

use of its local environment and 

create ways to visually reflect 

the school values. “We’re very 

fortunate to be able to work with 

Flox and Wongi on these projects 

which will not only enhance our 

school environment but provide 

a context for integrated learning. 

This event marks the beginning 

of a drive to bring our physical 

spaces to life by celebrating our 

environment, our vision and our 

values,” principal Ray Bygate 

said. 

Music 

everywhere 

MUSICAL: Governors Bay School pupils 

have been making the most of their 

lunch times having organised musical 

entertainment. Music lessons are up 

and running, and the pupils have begun 

playing for their peers in a relaxed way 

at lunch times. 

Remembering Feb 2011 

GREEN FINGERS: Sumner School pupils Aurora Garner -Randolph and 

Naomi Dana were among a number of pupils to take part in Oderings 

School Gardens’ Show. Sumner was just one school that took part 

in the event held at Woolston Workingmen’s Club, and it received a 

silver award for the pupils’ efforts. The pupils had to create a 3m by 

3m garden installation. Sumner’s entry was based around a fictional 

character in a picture book they wrote and developed as part of the 

back story for the garden. The story is about ‘Margaret’ who lives at 

Taylors Mistake where she surfs and swims in the morning, collects 

shells along the beach and waters her garden in the afternoon before 

she has for a snooze in her deck chair. The pupils made a bach at the 

beach and created Margret, a life- size stuffed doll. They built their own 

planter box and made strawberries out of clay to decorate their garden. 

Paper mache seagulls were included as they are an essential part of 

any seaside landscape and a worm tower helps to provide compost for 

the garden beds.

The February 2011 

earthquake came as a huge 

shock to everyone and the 

days afterwards were a 

struggle. 

Thousands of homes 

destroyed, 185 deaths and 

damaged and shocked faces 

everywhere you looked. At 

Mt Pleasant, everyone was 

sleeping on the field in tents. 

Some for three weeks. 

Every year since, even 

though we had mainly recovered 

from the earthquakes, 

we have held the Day on the 

Hill and slept on the field 

again, as a testament to the 

earthquake and what we 

went through. This year’s 

event was held on February 

27. 

Five years later, and we 

don’t need to think about 

the past as much now. These 

events, however, are for 

fun, and have food trucks, 

movies, live music and more. 

This year was no different. 

For five years running, this 

event has become bigger and 

better and it would be great 

to think that next year will be 

even better that it already is.

Anderson and Scarlet Wright have a go

Contamination 

forces closure 

of freedom 

camping site 

Tomorrow will see the end 

of freedom campers taking 

up residence at Ferrymead’s 

Windsport Park and Wainui. 

The self-contained site at 

French Farm closed immediately 

on Thursday after tests showed 

the beach was contaminated. 

A septic tank had overflowed 

and leaked into the harbour, 

forcing French Farm’s closure 

to members of the public and 

freedom campers. 

City council chief executive 

Karleen Edwards announced 

on Thursday that five of its 

restricted non-self-contained 

freedom camping sites will be 

temporarily closed. 

Wainui, Addington Park, 

Lower Styx River, Windsport 

and French Farm would remain 

closed until May 31. 

It comes after reports of a lot 

of freedom camping vehicles 

parking up at Windsport Park and 

French Farm, overstaying their 

allowed time, and the overuse of 

the toilets. 

Dr Edwards said there were a 

number of issues that had made 

those sites unsafe for people and 

the local environments. 

She said the city council took 

the well-being of residents and 

freedom campers seriously, 

and the closures would see an 

immediate improvement at the 

sites. 

“The council continues to 

welcome campers to the city and 

Banks Peninsula and encourages 

them to make use of the range 

of affordable camping grounds 

across the district.” 

Canterbury Medical Officer 

of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey 

said the safety of beach users, 

whether they were freedom 

campers or other members of the 

public, was paramount. 

The Freedom Camping Act 

allows the city council to issue a 

fine of $200 if someone is found 

freedom camping, or making 

preparations to freedom camp, 

in a local authority area and 

in breach of the city council’s 

bylaw, including temporarily 

closed sites. 

The city council intends to 

review the closures in May. 

INPUT: The new Sumner community facility needs an official name, and residents are likely to be able to 

put forward their suggestions. 

Community could have say 

on name for new facility 

Sumner residents may get the 

chance to have their say on their 

new community facility’s name. 

The facility, which will be 

built on the corner of Wakefield 

Ave and Nayland St, is expected 

to open next year. 

It will incorporate the community 

centre, library and museum. 

The city council is looking at 

carrying out a similar naming 

process to Te Hapua: Halswell 

Centre, where residents sent in 

suggestions, which were then 

short-listed, and voted on. 

A joint working group has been

representing the Sumner community 

so the city council is looking 

at whether it and Maori representatives 

could consult with the 

community on possible names. 

They would then compile 

all the suggestions with reasoning 

behind them, before they 

were short-listed. 

The community would then 

get the chance to vote on them, 

or the joint working group and 

Maori representation would 

choose one themselves and 

take it to the Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board for approval. 

The community board will discuss 

what process to take at its 

meeting today. 

The final phase of the design 

process on the facility is expected 

to be completed next month 

and construction is due to begin 

half-way through this year.

Health 

Tips 

Protect yourself for up to 3 months from 

cold & flu 

It’s coming into the time of year to be thinking about prevention of 

colds & flu. Buccaline is an oral antibacterial prophylaxis for the 

prevention of secondary bacterial infections associated with cold 

and flu. Buccaline provides active immunisation against bacterial 

colds. Illnesses of the upper respiratory are often caused by bacterial 

infections. Viral and influenza-like illnesses are frequently made worse 

by an additional bacterial infections and take longer to recover from. 

Immunology investigations show that Buccaline significantly improves 

resistance to colds and flu. Protection becomes effective after taking 

the last set of tablets. To maintain effectiveness as well as taking 

Buccaline at the beginning of the cold season take it again in the 

middle of the cold season. Tablets should be swallowed whole with 

some liquid one-hour before breakfast or lunch.

IN MEMORY: The Des Lyons Memorial Day on Sunday saw two games played, with almost $2000 raised for the Sumner Cricket Club. 

Wickets tumble in final match 

Sumner’s senior A cricket team 

played the first day of their 

final game against Heathcote on 

Saturday. 

Sumner bowled first, and after 

giving away a few easy runs, the 

team pulled it back in the middle 

having Heathcote 85-5 after they 

were at one point 45-0. 

Heathcote pushed on to score 

176 runs. 

Sumner’s Brendon Wellington 

picked up five wickets, while 

Dan Vann picked up four. 

Heathcote’s bowlers initially 

dominated Sumner, taking three 

wickets without Sumner scoring 

a run. 

Sumner recovered, however, 

bringing the score back to 

50-5. The team could only muster 

107 with Wellington posting an 

important half century. 

That left Sumner only 20 

minutes to bowl at Heathcote 

before the day ended. 

Sumner managed to get 

themselves back in the game 

by picking up four wickets for 

13 runs, with all-rounder Tom 

Gooday taking three wickets. 

The match will continue this 

weekend. 

Sumner also held its annual Des 

Lyons Memorial Day on Sunday, 

which saw two games played in 

memory of Sumner identity and 

lifetime cricket club member, 

Des Lyons. 

The Sumner Invitational 11 

managed to take the trophy from 

last year’s winners the Sumner 

Wave. 

In the second game the Club 

Captains 11 (190-9) managed to 

also square the ledger by beating 

last year’s winners the Presidents 

11 (150). 

The day brought the community 

together and also helped 

raise more than $2000 for the 

club.

Kids’ lunches pack a salty punch 

KIDS’ LUNCHBOXES, 

often exceed the 

total recommended 

daily salt intake. 

That’s the finding from 

Consumer NZ’s 

investigation, published at 

consumer.org.nz and in the 

March edition of Consumer 

magazine, to conincide with 

World Salt Awareness Week. 

Excessive sodium from 

the salt in our diet can lead to 

high blood pressure, a major 

risk factor for stroke, and 

creating a taste for too much 

salt early in life can 

predispose children to 

various health problems 

later in life. Salt is often 

unexpectedly present in 

processed foods. 

Consumer gives the 

example of a child’s lunchbox 

containing a ham and cheese 

bread roll, a packet of Shultz 

Mini Pretzels and a packet of 

Select Little Families 

Biscuits. The salt content of 

this menu exceeds the 

maximum daily limit for salt 

recommended for a 5-6 yearold 

and is more than 90 per 

cent for a child 11-14. 

Stroke Foundation 

national health promotion 

manager Jo Jarden said: 

“Tastes and eating habits can 

be formed early, so feeding 

your children fresh

Consumer highlights 

many of the conveniently

Foods that may be

Grega Vezjak 

Following the anonymous Call for Ideas 

to Remember process, Grega Vezjak’s 

Memorial Wall design was selected in 

May 2015 for the Canterbury earthquake 

National Memorial. 

Grega lives in Bilje, Slovenia with his wife 

and three children. 

22 February, on the fifth anniversary 

of the Christchurch earthquake. this 

peaceful space, with established trees 

and a curved seat along the path edge, 

invites visitors to sit, take a stroll closer 

to the rivers’ edge and privately reflect. 

From here, visitors can also watch the 

construction of the Memorial Wall on 

the other side of the river, and will enjoy 

a great view of the Wall from this space, 

once complete. ■ 

He studied architecture at Ljubljana 

university, and acknowledges the beauty 

of the city and the works of Slovenian 

architects which have all contributed to 

his architectural style. Grega’s work has 

won numerous design and architecture 

awards, both locally and internationally. 

Grega is honoured his design was

There are lower salt

Ford Focus wagon a practical alternative 

IN A forever shrinking station 

wagon market, I’m an avid fan, 

especially small to mid-size 

wagons. 

They are versatile, functional 

and don’t offer a dynamically different 

driving experience than that 

of the car they are based on. 

I also like their adaptability, all 

manner of items can be transported 

without the fear of wondering 

whether the standard car-like boot 

will contain them. 

However, station wagons aren’t 

a popular choice any more, not 

so much that they aren’t any 

good – it’s quite the opposite – 

but traditional wagon buyers are 

now lured by sports utility vehicles 

and, as a consequence, car 

companies have channelled their 

manufacturing resources to cater 

for that demand. 

However, Ford are capitalising 

in a market where traditional station 

wagons are a preferred choice, 

and the ever-versatile Focus is 

one car in today’s market where 

it is still available in wagon form 

alongside its hatchback stablemate. 

The mid-size Focus Trend is 

FORD FOCUS WAGON: Versatility, performance and outstanding fuel economy. 

only available here in two specifications 

– a 1.6-litre petrol or a 

2-litre diesel. The evaluation car 

was the latter and it would be 

my choice anyway, it is a capable 

car and, what’s more, it has 

fuel usage figures to envy. Ford 

claim an outstanding 4.4-litre per 

100km (65mpg) combined cycle. 

The trip computer readouts hovered 

around 5.6l/100km (50mpg) 

during my testing time, with a 

4.8l/100km (58mpg) figure available 

at a steady 100km/h (engine 

speed 1600rpm). If you add in 

its 60-litre fuel tank, distances 

of around 1000km can easily be 

travelled between fill-ups. It’s that 

economy that makes diesel power 

so attractive along with having a 

dynamic driving experience. 

Ford also claims healthy 

132kW and 400Nm power and 

torque figures from the turbocharged 

twin-camshaft unit. These 

combine to produce a solid flow 

of energy, there’s just a hint of lag 

at initial take-off but that is minor. 

Power is directed through a 

six-speed automatic gearbox. 

Ford labels this transmission as 

Powershift, it has an appealing 

gear-lever mounted button which 

the driver can manipulate to perform 

manual shifts. 

One of the Focus’ greatest 

attributes hasn’t been compromised 

by the inclusion of the 

wagon section. It has long had a 

reputation for handling quality, 

and nothing has changed. 

The Trend wagon is divine in 

a corner, especially at the rear 

where constant communication 

from the fully independent suspension 

is transmitted in-cabin. 

while the jolts that often make up 

travel in Christchurch are well 

SPECIFICATIONS 

Price: Ford Focus Trend 

wagon, $39,840. 

Dimensions: Length,4556mm; 

width, 2010mm; height, 1505mm. 

Configuration: Four-cylinder,

400Nm, six-speed automatic. 

Performance: 0-100km/h,

absorbed, comfort has been a high 

manufacturing priority. 

The Trend diesel lists here at 

$39,840 ($33,840 petrol). For 

that money you get a whole host 

of items which characterise Ford 

product. Features of note include 

satellite navigation, voice recognition 

infotainment and communication, 

automatic stop-start, 

and cruise control with speed 

limiter. 

When I was out testing I spotted 

two Focus wagons sign-written 

for a company which is heavily 

involved in the Christchurch 

rebuild. The Focus in this form is 

tailor-made for the fleet market 

and will score many sales there 

given there isn’t a lot of competition 

– especially diesel powered. 

Yet it is also a sensible choice 

for the private buyer, I would 

have no hesitation owning one – 

one single trip to Mitre 10 Mega 

was enough to remind me how 

practical the traditional station 

wagon is.

Our Programme / Curriculum 

Heathcote Valley Preschools’ programme is inspired by the Reggio Emilia 

philosophy. The Reggio Emilia philosophy views every child as strong and 

competent and encourages us to embrace each child's strengths, interests and 

differences through documentation of their thoughts, ideas, theories and learning 

processes. The documentation of these aspects gives the child a feeling of 

empowerment and a sense of pride in them selves as capable of constructing 

their own knowledge.

Historic drawings 

in care at library 

Some of Canterbury’s historic 

architectural drawings are being 

preserved, thanks to renowned 

architect Sir Miles Warren. 

Sir Miles donated some of 

well-known architect Cecil 

Wood’s drawings to the 

Macmillan Brown Library last 

year. 

Canterbury University 

interns Jessica Nawisielski, 

Harriet Litten and Hamish 

Petersen have been employed to 

conserve and catalogue the 

drawings. 

The drawings that have been 

preserved include buildings 

that were lost and damaged in 

the Canterbury earthquakes, 

including Bishopscourt, St 

Barnabas Anglican Church 

in Fendalton, St Barnabas 

Anglican Church in Woodend 

and the Memorial Church St 

Paul’s at Tai Tapu. 

The three interns have been 

painstakingly cleaning and 

repairing 232 drawings under the 

guidance of paper conservator 

Lynn Campbell. 

One of the student interns, 

Hamish Petersen, said it had 

been an privilege to be part of 

the project. 

PRESERVATION: Governors Bay resident Sir Miles Warren, trustee Dr 

Ian Lochhead, student intern Jessica Nawisielski and trustee Dr Jessica 

Halliday inspect one of the Cecil Wood drawings in the Macmillan 

Brown Library. 

“I have learnt so much in the 

short time I’ve been involved. 

This internship is no doubt 

a unique opportunity for an 

undergraduate student to have 

and adds a pretty valuable 

element to all the learning I 

get to do at the University of

New Zealand Owned 

Bakery backs bash 

Couplands Bakeries is 

back supporting the Variety 

Children’s Charity in this year’s 

Variety Trillian Bash. 

One of the drivers, David 

Drake, of Rolleston, is being 

supported by Christchurch 

business Couplands Bakeries. 

Mr Drake has taken part in 18 

bashes in New Zealand and 12 

in Australia. 

The Variety Bash is a car 

rally that travels hundreds of 

kilometres during one week in 

March each year fundraising for 

Kiwi kids, entertaining around 

4000 children and telling the 

Variety story. 

This year Mr Drake will be 

driving from Picton in his Ford 

Fairlane (below), which has 

the names of all the bashes 

he has attended across the 

bonnet. 

He will be travelling with 

bash veteran Geoffrey Bentham 

and friend Len Holland. 

On the trip all the bash crews 

from around New Zealand 

will be treated to Couplands 

products along the way. 

Mr Drake signs up every year 

because he enjoys being part of 

something that helps so many 

different kids. 

“When you are part of 

donating a much-needed bike, 

or wheelchair, or a laptop or 

school uniform to assist a child 

in his or her development – and 

you see the delight on their 

faces, well, it is moving, and 

sometimes you shed a tear or 

two,” said Mr Drake. 

The Couplands bash car 

will be joined by Christchurch 

Airport’s Top Gun team in an 

old airport fire truck.
