PAGE 2 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday October 11 2017 FROM THE EDITOR’S DESK SLEEPY CHURCH Bay may not be so sleepy anymore. We reveal today (see page 1) plans to build a commercial development there which would include a supermarket, four shops, a coffee shop, and a 30-seat cinema behind the On the Spot store. There would also be 111 car parks. And needless to say the plans are causing a stir. If you read the feedback (see page 10) to our article last week over an idea to turn the failed Maori Village site at Ferrymead into a dog park, then it’s a nobrainer. The verdict is unanimous – dogs should be let loose on the site. Readers also have given the thumbs up to the re-opening of the Redcliffs Dairy. It’s all about the ice creams and of course Minod Vinod’s great service. – Barry Clarke Inside Crater Rim Ultra marathon SPORT 16 News.....................................3-12 Local Views...................10 Peninsula Highlights...18 Health & Beauty............20 Community Events...23 Real Estate...........................25 GET IN TOUCH General Inquiries Ph 379-7100 Classified Advertising Ph 379-1100 The Christchurch Star Company Ltd.

Wednesday October 11 2017 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News Ferry parking fight continues • By Emily O’Connell MORE OPTIONS will be looked into before bus parking is decreased at the Diamond Harbour Ferry terminal in Lyttelton. It follows a decision by the Lyttelton Port Company to reduce bus parking spaces from three to one and not provide a pick-up/drop-off zone. An urgent meeting was held by the Banks Peninsula Community Board with the LPC, Environment Canterbury and the city council on Monday. It was decided at the meeting that the LPC and ECan would look into more options and come back to the board in a few weeks’ time. Peter Davie Diamond Harbour Residents’ Association chairman Richard Suggate said the further investigation is good but he’s not pessimistic nor optimistic about the final outcome. He said the LPC should put the public interest above their own. Community board member Jed O’Donoghue said he’s pleased other resolutions will be considered but ultimately the DECISIONS: The Lyttelton Port Company and ECan are going to look into more parking options near the ferry terminal. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER board don’t have the final say. “At the end of the day we can only influence them because its their land,” he said. An online petition calling for better public access to the Diamond Harbour ferry terminal has attracted more than 230 signatures in two weeks. Set up by the Diamond Harbour Residents Association, the petition calls on the city council and Environment Canterbury to “ensure that within 100m of the Diamond Harbour ferry terminal, there is adequate bus parking on the Lyttelton wharf and that there is a drop-off/pickup zone for private vehicles.” Mr Suggate told a board meeting two weeks ago that the LPC’s refusal to provide a drop-off zone would force the infirm, disabled or with heavy parcels, to walk from Norwich Quay. Port company chief executive Peter Davie said LPC staff met with the Banks Peninsula Community Board on July 31. Mr Davie previously said the they are working with ECan to ensure it has minimum impact on current services and it will not affect ferry users at all. He said an upgrade of the existing Diamond Harbour Ferry facilities will take place at the same time as the LPC staff car park is being built adjacent to Waterfront House and the work should be completed before Christmas. “We will work with Black Cat Cruises to enable people to have access. If there are particular items that require to be around 50m closer to the ferry terminal than they can achieve via the stairs, then we will accommodate them through the port,’’ Mr Davie said. Black Cat Cruises chief executive Paul Milligan said they had been involved with discussions about the issue with LPC and ECan. “An ideal site is to move us down to the west end with the new marina, which will be new and there will be room for buses to move around. But we’re not going to get that in the near future so we just need to make the best of the facilities we currently have.” He said that was part of LPC’s long term plan, but would take time to come into fruition. PROPOSAL: The area where a new complex may be built. Big plans for Church Bay •From page 1 “Seeing something that kind of looks like a downtown shopping mall is a bit of a shock and not really what people appreciate.” Plans for the development show, once completed, it is intended the operators of the On The Spot store would become proprietors of the supermarket. Landscaping would include red beech, pohutukawa and cabbage trees. Timber fences would be built along the boundaries to reduce sound for next door neighbours.
