Plan to remove containers<br />

BACH<br />

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD<br />

Clifton’s Main Rd rockfall<br />

protection shipping containers<br />

could be removed by November.<br />

Land Information New Zealand<br />

wants to begin clearing unstable<br />

rock and earth from Deans Head<br />

as early as May.<br />

It has applied for resource<br />

consent to carry out the work<br />

which would reduce the risk of<br />

cliff collapse or rock fall onto the<br />

road below.<br />

The work would see about<br />

63,300m3 of earth moved from<br />

Deans Head to nearby Shag Rock<br />

Reserve.<br />

Two cuts will be made; a lower<br />

rock cut at the toe of the slope<br />

to enable rock removal, and an<br />

upper soil cut linking into the<br />

green-zoned land at the head of<br />

the cliff.<br />

The work will take place at the<br />

same time as Crown red-zoned<br />

properties on the hill are being<br />

demolished.<br />

The shipping containers could<br />

then be removed and the hill<br />

would be replanted.<br />

The work is part of the Sumner<br />

Lyttelton Corridor Project, which<br />

aims to make the route from<br />

Main Rd through Evans Pass Rd,<br />

Sumner Rd to Lyttelton, safe for<br />

motorists.<br />

Sumner Rd has been closed<br />

TO GO: As part of the Sumner Lyttelton Corridor Project, about<br />

63,300m3 of earth would be removed from Deans Head, Clifton, to<br />

make the road safe from rockfall and cliff collapse.<br />

since the February 2011<br />

earthquake, while shipping<br />

containers have lined the<br />

remainder of the corridor.<br />

The city council has put<br />

the plan out for public<br />

consultation, which closes on<br />

<strong>March</strong> 29.<br />

HAVE YOUR SAY<br />

Will you be happy to see the<br />

shipping containers removed<br />

from below Deans Head?<br />

TO BE REMOVED<br />

A Port Levy bach that has<br />

been in the Stewart family for<br />

65 years will be removed. The<br />

city council voted on Thursday<br />

for the bach to be removed,<br />

because it is built on a ‘paper<br />

road’. The city council owns<br />

most of the land and has plans<br />

to upgrade it, while Te Runanga<br />

O Koukourarata Society owns<br />

about 7 sq m of it, and wants to<br />

build baches on the land. The<br />

family will have two years to<br />

remove the bach.<br />

CYCLE LANES APPROVED<br />

A $1.8 million upgrade to make<br />

Sumner more pedestrian and<br />

cycle-friendly was approved by<br />

the city council on Thursday.<br />

The upgrade will see Marriner<br />

St West and Wakefield Ave have<br />

wider footpaths, new cycle lanes<br />

and improved landscaping.<br />

The cycleways would, however,<br />

result in the loss of 25 car<br />

parks. The upgrade includes an<br />

18-month 30km/h speed limit<br />

trial. Construction is expected<br />

to begin in February 2017.<br />

LEASE GRANTED<br />

Lyttelton Information Centre<br />

has been granted a 10-year lease<br />

to continue occupying 20 Oxford<br />

St. The city council agreed<br />

to grant the lease at its meeting<br />

on Thursday. Meanwhile,<br />

the city council also decided to<br />

extend Mt Pleasant Yacht Club’s<br />

lease by 35 years.<br />
