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 />
