FOR SALE: This four-bedroom home in Mandalay Lane, Redcliffs, is open to inquiries
of more than $990,000.
VIEW: The median value of houses in Redcliffs has jumped 4.7 per cent from the same
time last year. This Moncks Spur Rd home has an asking price of $655,000.
Redcliffs house values rise
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
House values in Redcliffs have
jumped nearly five per cent
compared to the same time last
year.
New data from property information,
analytic and service
provider, CoreLogic, show the
seaside suburb’s median value
price rose 4.7 per cent between
May 1 last year and the same
time this year.
Its median value price jumped
from $706,500, to $739,800.
That change brought Redcliffs
up alongside neighbouring
Moncks Bay, which sits at
$740,350.
Moncks Bay has not shifted
over the past year.
Clifton still sits at the top of
the list in spite of a smaller 1.7
per cent rise, bringing it’s median
value up to $828,400.
The CoreLogic statistics
measured the change in median
value of all properties in each
suburb.
That way it ensured all properties
were included, not just
those that were being sold.
CoreLogic senior research
analyst Nick Goodall said Redcliffs
saw most of its growth in
the middle of last year, after losing
a bit of value in 2014.
Meanwhile, Moncks Bay had
been “relatively flat” for the
past 18 months, he said.
Median value prices for Mt
Pleasant are now at $688,400, up
1.6 per cent, and Sumner was up
1.2 per cent to $624,650.
At the other end of the scale,
Governors Bay dropped by 1.4
per cent, from $654,950 this
time last year, to $645,850.
Mr Goodall said the bay had
seen large increases in median
value, followed by large
decreases over the past two and
a half years.
In Banks Peninsula, Akaroa
moved up from $566,450 last
year, to $590,450, while Duvauchelle
rose 1.4 per cent to
$458,800.
Lyttelton rose to $465,200, up
2.6 per cent from last year.
Median value on May 1 2016, per cent
change from May 1 2015
Redcliffs: $739,800 +4.7 per cent
Akaroa: $590,450 +4.2 per cent
Lyttelton: $465,200 +2.6 per cent

Library designs released
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Construction of the new Redcliffs
Library will begin next month.
The library, which will be built on
Main Rd, opposite New World, will be
a one storey building with the library,
reception, a children’s library and a
community break out space.
City council capital delivery manager
Darren Moses said the contract for the
construction had been awarded to City
Care.
“Construction is scheduled to begin
in June 2016 – the exact date will be
confirmed with the announcement of
an official ground-breaking/sod-turning
event,” he said.
Plans for the building also include a
meeting room, small kitchen and toilets.
The original library was badly
damaged in the February 2011 and
June 2011 earthquakes, and later
demolished.
Mr Moses said the city council hoped
to have the library open by the end of
the year, with construction expected to
take about five months.
He said the front of the building had
been designed to address the street
frontage, with glass frontage, a small
terrace area, seating, bike racks and
planting.
Meanwhile, Corbel Construction will
build Governors Bay’s new $700,000
community centre.
Mr Moses said there would

be action on the Cresswell Ave site this
week.
The old community centre was
demolished after sustaining damage in
the February 2011 quake.
Governors Bay resident Rosie Belton
said on first glance the plans looked
good.
“We’ve never really had a community
centre, we just had the old quaint
old building that had the pottery shed in
it.”
It is expected to take about six months
to build, and will include a community
space, a kitchen, meeting room, deck,
toilets and car parking spaces.
EXCITING: Construction of Governors Bay’s new
community centre will take about six months.
INTERSECTION HAZARD
A teenager was knocked off
his bicycle at a contentious
Ferrymead intersection last
week. He collided with a
vehicle at the St Andrews
Hill and Bridle Path Rds
intersection at about 5.50pm
on Thursday. It comes after a
city council report criticised
the new intersection’s lay out.
RECIDIVIST DRINK
DRIVER
A Sumner woman who drove
into two pedestrians knocking
them onto the rocks below
Main Rd while four-times
over the legal drink-driving
limit, was on a zero alcohol
licence. Sarah Jane Arrow,
of Sumner, appeared before
Judge Jane Farish in the
district court on Friday. The
45-year-old pleaded guilty
to drink driving causing
injury and driving contrary
to a zero alcohol licence and
was remanded on bail for
sentencing on July 26.

Lyttelton
Primary School
principal Diana
Feary says
the school’s
merger and the
building of new
premises were
challenging and
exciting.
Lyttelton Primary School is
two years old. We are at home
at last, and we love it! Our first
two years have been a time of
challenge, turmoil, excitement
and adventure.
Challenges include building
a school culture and sense of
belonging over two sites. Our
children and staff soon became
a feature of the Lyttelton landscape
as we walked between
the town site and the hill site in
our bright orange vests to spend
time learning about each other.
Developing a shared vision
with staff who had not worked
together encouraged us to explore
quality professional learning
development opportunities.
Our staff trip to Melbourne last
July to observe collaborative
teaching and learning in seven
schools was critical in developing
the collaborative practice
evident in our learning areas.
Plans for our new school were
drawn up after community consultation
in 2013. What turmoil
when we learned at the end of
2014 that the resultant design
would be shelved and a new
architect would have new plans
completed by the end of January.
What did emerge was a design
that teachers were excited about
as they saw great potential in the
internal layout and the scope of
the learning areas.
This has been an amazing
opportunity for us to explore
and develop collaborative and
co-teaching practices as we
prepared for our new place.
Staff worked together to build
a sense of belonging guided by
restorative practice. Innovative
furnishings are a feature and
came from our inquiries. And
we determined our logo, Te
Wheke, with its characteristics
of curiosity and intelligence
a perfect embodiment of our
adventurous spirit.
We are two years old. We are
at home at last, and we love it!
•Ruth Dyson column, p18
Bay Harbour News asked its
readers what they thought
about the St Andrews Hill and
Bridle Path Rds intersection,
after a city council report
criticised its layout.
• Don Burns, of Mt
Pleasant:
Thanks for your
article, it raised issues
that I’ve been concerned
about from the day the
bridge was opened.
What I would like to
know is why the safety
audit did not pick up on the safety
issues, and why the designers
did not foresee the glaring
problems of the design?
Why are the footpaths almost
4m wide when the pedestrian
traffic is probably about 10 a
day when the vehicle traffic
is 30,000/day? I’m sure most
people would prefer four lanes, a
narrow footpath and a cycle lane.
Why didn’t the engineers
consider a merging lane coming
from St Andrews Hill Rd? As a
resident of Mt Pleasant, driving
through St Andrews Hill Rd and
Bridle Path Rd several times a day,
I have to consider drivers coming
from the east turning into Bridle
Path Rd, traffic turning right from
the bridge onto Bridle Path Rd
and vehicles on my left who either
want to turn left or right.
I do not think we need more
traffic lights, there’s already
too many around the city. I do
think people should be held to
account, this roading system
has been poorly designed and
whoever is responsible should be
explaining why this occurred.
• Denny Anker, of
Mt Pleasant:
In response to your question
about this intersection, my safety
concerns compelled me to give
up trying to cross the intersection
from St Andrews Hill Rd very
soon after it was completed.
My alternative involves the
circuitous and time-consuming
route down Cannon Hill
Crescent to Bridle Path Rd.
In spite of the inconvenience,
I would still prefer to do that
rather than attempt to use the
intersection as it currently is.
It is fortunate for me that I am
only rarely travelling here at
peak traffic times.
I will be relieved when work
on Mt Pleasant Rd allows for
uphill traffic so that I won’t have
to use this intersection at all. I
understand concerned residents/
users made submissions at the
time of construction which were
obviously ignored, as so often
happens.
• Frances and David Wall,
of Mt Pleasant
In response to your article
in Bay Harbour News on the
Bridle Path Rd/St Andrews
Hill Rd intersection, we add
our voices to those who find
it a difficult and peculiar
layout.
The main problem that we
have experienced is the right
turn from the bottom of St
Andrews Hill Rd, swinging
across two lanes to turn sharply
right into Bridle Path Rd, before
the left turn onto the Ferrymead
Bridge. It’s always a moment of
anxiety at the bottom of the hill
waiting until there is space in
the queue for the left-turn light
off Bridle Path Rd while at the
same time giving way to traffic
turning from Main Rd, and
hoping to goodness that nothing
comes swooshing down Bridle
Path Rd before you can slot into
the far (left-hand) lane.
It’s not so bad on a bicycle – if
you get caught out in the middle
(of Bridle Path Rd) there is room
to pause, but in a vehicle you
partly block the traffic, and as
for buses, it’s impossible.
A solution could be lights
at the bottom of St Andrews
Hill Rd co-ordinated with
lights further back from the
intersection on Bridle Path Rd.

normally runs from the Mt Pleasant
Community Centre car park,
is moving to the western end of
McCormacks Bay Reserve from
Saturday. It will move for six to
eight weeks while work on the

It will run as usual every Saturday
from 9.30am-12.30pm.
CELEBRATION: Jackie Maurice and Sandie Chamberlain went along to
celebrate the launch of the book, and the return of the BYO Pub.
BY TANIA GREEN
Heathcote Valley residents have
celebrated the launch of a new
book, which looks at the way the
suburb has recovered from the
earthquakes.
The book, Heathcote: The
Upside, which was co-edited by
Sooze Harris and Sara Templeton,
was launched on Friday at St
Mary’s Village Hall.
It features more than 70 projects
the community got involved
with to deal with the post-quake
environment.
The celebration saw the return
of the BYO Pub, which was the
initiative of Vicar Mary Giles,
within a week of the February
2011 earthquake, to bring the
community together.
The BYO Pub was also the very
first post-quake initiative that
features in the book.
Ms Templeton said there were
between 80-100 people there to
celebrate.
“It was a fantastic community
get together and felt like the early
days of the BYO Pub - the adults
inside or on the deck chatting,
while the many children ran
around the community garden
with torches in the dark, popping

TEAM EFFORT: Sooze Harris and Sara Templeton co-edited Heathcote:
The Upside, which features more than 70 post-earthquake projects.
New book celebrates Heathcote stories
in occasionally for a drink or bite
to eat.”
Ms Harris said the book
was all about showcasing and
celebrating the community’s
response to the earthquakes.
“I think this is a celebration.
It’s a reminder that there is a
massive richness that can come
out of adversity as well. And it’s
not that you want it, we don’t
want earthquakes in Christchurch,
but they’re not all bad,
there’s good that comes too.”
The book is available for purchase,
with all proceeds going
back into the community.

Ben Atkinson
Sumner chef’s mission: To
Sumner’s Ben Atkinson is on a mission to feed
hungry school children across Canterbury with his initiative,
Fill Their Lunchbox. Bridget Rutherford spoke
to him about taking it full-time, how free lunches can
help lower truancy rates, and having to leave Sumner
So Ben, can you tell me a bit
about Fill Their Lunchbox,
how did it all begin?
So pretty much, it was initially
started to get food into the
bellies of hungry kids. The real
goal is to give kids an equal opportunity
to learn in school and
be able to go on and get a higher
education. I got into it about
February last year. I had seen in
the news there were a lot of kids
going to school without food, or
getting the wrong food. I thought
as a chef this is something I
could get out and assist with.
So together with Joe’s Garage
Sumner, we made the food one
night a week, and delivered to
three schools the next day.
How did you decide what
schools to start out with?
I just looked for decile one and
two schools in the east. I contacted
Wainoni School, Aranui
Primary, Te Waka Unua and
Linwood Ave schools. I didn’t
hear back from Wainoni, but I
heard from the other three and so
decided to start with them. We
just knew there was a bit of an
issue in the east.
So you were working at Joe’s
Garage Sumner at the time?
Yeah, so it started with the old
owners who sold up in December.
But the new owners carried
on with it. We just made a plan
to make sandwiches, scones,
protein balls and things like that,
and we delivered them on big
trays to the three schools every
Tuesday.
So I hear you are moving on
from Joe’s Garage to take this
on full time?
Yeah, so I let them know
in February that I would be
leaving. I told them I had the
intention of taking this full time,
and I just finished up last week.
I’d been there for three years.
I’m getting a kitchen built out in
Rangiora, so we will be living
out there. It’s a lot cheaper and
it’s in the right zone that we can
operate out of.
Who else is part of the team?
Do you have a leaky home?
The Financial Assistance Package, which
helps people with a contribution to repair
leaky homes, is closing to new claims on
23 July 2016.
To give time for an assessment to be
undertaken, applications should be with
MBIE by 27 June 2016.
Go to building.govt.nz/FAP for
more information or to apply for
financial assistance.
So my main partner, Alicia
Renee, worked with me at Joe’s,
and she will finish there this
week. She’s basically going to
be head chef in charge of the
menus and the food side of
things. I’ve been operating as a
head chef for so long but there
are so many things behind the
scenes that need to be done, so
I’ll be focusing on those.
Were you a bit sad to be
leaving Joe’s after so long?
Yeah, a lot of staff have
moved on, but I’ll miss a lot of
our regulars - you really build
relationships with some of them.
It’s a bit sad to know you’re not
going to see them every day.
And you’ve been living in
Sumner, will you miss the seaside
suburb?
I’ve been flatting here. It’s sad
moving. Sumner reminds me a
bit of my home-town in Nelson
because it’s close to the beach,

feed hungry school kids
Monday to Friday, with a buy
one, gift one policy. So to pay
our staff and cover the cost of
food, we would need to sell 100
adult lunches and donate 100
lunches. That way the public
funds it. They also get delivered.
When will it kick off full
time?
Not entirely sure when it
will start, we’re waiting on the
kitchen to be built. We need to
fundraise the last $60,000 to get
that going, and we need to buy a
couple of vans and a bit of working
capital.
And you had a lot of support
for the initiative on the
PledgeMe page didn’t you?
Yeah, we made around
$30,000. It was incredible, we
got over 460 people touching
on our campaign. I didn’t know
how people would react initially,
but we got heaps of support, it
was absolutely outrageous.
What was it like delivering
to the kids at the various
schools?
Well typically we just take it
into the office in class time, so
we never really had a lot to do
with the kids. But they do send
a lot of thank you letters so that
was pretty cool.
Were there any cases that
stuck out to you?
Not any special cases that
were noted to be really bad, the
school protects the privacy of the
children and families. We’ve had
contact from a few parents who
have said ‘I can only give my
kids the bare minimum’, so it
takes a bit of stress off them. We
did hear that the truancy rates
have dropped, some parents can
be ashamed if they can’t send
their kids to school with lunch,
so they might not send them. So
with lunch being delivered, we
were told the truancy rates had
dropped. And we’ve heard the
focus is better in class.
Will you continue delivering
to the three schools you started
with?
We will continue with those
schools. We had a good relationship
with them and were pretty
close. The only thing that will be
change is with Aranui Primary,
because they are merging with
other schools to form a super
school. So not sure how we will
do that yet.
And I hear your nickname
is Diggy, how did that come
about?
Um, my old friends made up a
song about me. There’s no real
significance but it just caught on.
Where did you work before
Joe’s Garage?
Before that I was at the university
for about a year at a café
there. As soon as I finished high
school I decided to study music
for a while in Christchurch. A
few of my friends were coming
down here. I found the youth
culture in Nelson wasn’t very
fostering. I played guitar and a
bit of bass guitar, and I played
forms of death metal. I spent two
years studying then I decided
to go work full time, I went and
started training to be a chef.
Had you always been a bit of
a whizz in the kitchen?
I was actually banned from
cooking as a child (laughs). I
almost set the kitchen on fire
cooking popcorn when I was 11
or 12. But I basically broke it
down to what would make me
happy. I like creative things, and
this gave me the opportunity to
be creative and make things, and
to experiment. It’s good feeding
people and providing a place
to relax. I have friend who is a
builder. And he said to me, ‘what
do you do for society? I make
people’s houses, I’m contributing’.
And I said well I may just
be a cook, but we provide people
with a place to relax, take time
and meet people.
Did you start your time there
as head chef? Or did you work
your way up?
I went in as head chef. The
owner had only just taken over.
I’m not the best chef, but I’ve
got a good idea of how to run a
kitchen.
Do you have a speciality
dish?
Well I guess ice cream. I ran a
little beach side business selling
ice cream at Corsair Bay. So I
made my own ice cream and
tried lots of crazy flavours.
And what about you, what
do you like to do in your spare
time?
Well, having weekends free is
a rare thing for me after being
in the hospitality industry. But I

play basketball in a social mixed
league every week. We’ve had
the same team for about four
years.
So how do you feel about
starting Fill Their Lunchbox?
It’s exciting and nerve wracking.
The whole throwing your
career away makes me a bit
nervous. Until we’re up and running
we will be operating on a
pretty low budget, and with staff
to pay and no money coming
in things will be tight. We have
three staff, including me, and
we are looking to hire another
delivery driver. But nothing’s
easy, if you’re not determined,
you won’t get anywhere.

Fire brigade’s new ute
already in service
BRIDGET RUTHERFORD
Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade
has a brand new four-wheel drive
assist vehicle, which has already
been to five call-outs, including a
large scrub fire.
The brigade’s 1960s Jeep
broke down last year, and it had
been using its large fire truck to
go to medical call-outs, which
slowed down response times.
It managed to fundraise about
$35,000 to go towards a new
twin cab Toyota Hilux, which arrived
about two weeks ago.
Although it still needs to be
painted fire engine red, and fitted
out with equipment, sirens
and lights, it has already been to
three medical call-outs, one false
alarm, and a scrub fire.
Deputy chief fire officer Darren
Wright said it was used to
carry gear and get more people
to the scrub fire between Sumner
and Taylors Mistake on April 26.
“It’s already having the impact
that we wanted it to have,” he
said.
“We just got more people to
the call, it was a big fire and it
allowed us to get nine personnel
there pretty much at the same

time, compared to about four or
five in the fire truck.”
Mr Wright said the brigade
wanted to thank the local groups
and families who had generously
donated money needed to buy
the new vehicle.
He said a couple of families,
who wanted to remain anonymous,
had made large donations.
The brigade received $5000
from Sumner Redcliffs RSA
Welfare Fund and $2500 from
the SJ Charitable Trust. Rata
Foundation had also made a donation
which would go towards
the kit-out of the vehicle, he said.
It can be difficult for firefighters
to find places with enough stairs
to train for the gruelling Sky
Tower Stair Challenge.
But Lyttelton firefighters came
up with an interesting way to train
for this month’s event – walking
and running up the escalators at
Westfield Riccarton in their gear
after closing time.
The team spent hours walking
and running up the escalators,
which were turned on and going
down, last Tuesday, until they
tired themselves out.
Mall staff were happy to let the
crew train there.

Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee – A note from the chair
Steve Lowndes,
Chair of the Banks
Peninsula Water
Zone Committee
Climate change is no longer a matter of
conjecture or projection, it is a matter of record.
Every month is hotter than historical averages and every year is hotter than the
last. All over the world climate change is manifest in extreme weather patterns,
the displacement of populations and the decrease in the planet’s ability to
absorb emissions.
Last year, governments from around the world met in Paris and formally
acknowledged that the global situation is dire. National governments, however,
are slow to react in any meaningful way so it will be up to local communities to
take the initiative.
Flash flooding, drought, fire, high winds, sea level rise and the spread
of pests are all events which result from accelerated climate change.
Banks Peninsula is exposed to all of these, but perhaps the most significant weather event we
battle is drought.
Currently the Peninsula is very dry. We need to be vigilant of the potential for wild fires and the
way we use our limited water resources.
Water is a very limited resource on Banks Peninsula.
We are not connected to the aquifers of the Canterbury Plains which are recharged by the high
rainfall on the foothills and Alps. The small streams running down each valley are essentially only
recharged by local rainfall.
As a community we must begin to place a much greater importance on how we manage our water.
There are simple things we can do such as checking for leaky pipes, installing rainwater tanks, or
considering whether home appliances can be replaced with more water efficient appliances when
they reach their use by date.
We should think hard about our water use, including the amount we waste.
The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is keen to work with local landowners and
community groups to improve water quantity, quality and biodiversity. Funds are available for
biodiversity projects such as such as riparian planting and protection of wetland and salt marsh
vegetation. Please contact Helen Greendep (contact 027 225 6419) if you have a project in mind.
Next Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee meeting
Tuesday 24 May 2016, 4–6pm, Environment Canterbury Office, 200 Tuam Street
Lincoln University has planted 1350 native trees as part of a three-year wastewater disposal trial.
Why do we even have “waste water” when the Peninsula is so dry?
Currently, Lincoln University is conducting a trial in Duvauchelle using treated wastewater to grow
native plants.
Previous studies have shown that some New Zealand native species not only thrive on soils receiving
treated wastewater, but kill bacteria and reduce the leaching of contaminants.
In July 2015, the university began a three-year trial to determine whether manuka, kanuka, and other
native species have potential for the full-scale land disposal of treated wastewater. The intent is to
ultimately design effluent systems using NZ native vegetation for wastewater disposal.
They planted 1350 native trees, divided into 27 blocks of three different vegetation types. Twelve of the
27 blocks are receiving treated municipal wastewater at a rate of 500 mm during the growing season,
a similar rate to that used on an irrigated dairy farm in Canterbury. Wastewater irrigation started in
January 2016.
You can check the trial out in Pipers Road.

Busy bodies in the garden
Over the past few months an enthusiastic group of Sumner School pupils have been developing
their school garden. The pupils have been planting seeds of herbs, vegetables and annuals for
early spring planting that they will be able to sell to parents to continue to fund their garden. They
have been very fortunate to receive fruit tree donations from Shane Lawton from SBJ Ltd and
donations from Mitre 10 Mega Ferrymead of some children’s gloves, trowels, a garden hose and a
soaker hose.

Scavenger hunt
and Maori culture
Diamond Harbour School’s year 4 and 5 pupils went on an
adventure to Onuku Marae in Akaroa, with a fun scavenger
hunt on the way. Pupils had to open envelopes which told them
where to go and what to do at the different stops. When they
reached Akaroa, they stopped to have lunch and played games
before carrying on to the marae. Many of the pupils had not
been to a marae before. They were welcomed with a powhiri,
and later played traditional Maori games. The pupils also got to
learn how to weave flax, learned about Maori culture, and were
later farewelled with a poroporoaki.

are so remote and untouched. There are so many different ways to travel now and
cruising has to be one of my favourites. Having travelled on a number of different
cruise lines, the sheer luxury of being looked after on-board your own ‘floating hotel’
provided me with the relaxing side of what a holiday should be, combined with the
exploration factor when you dock up each day at a different destination.

Sumner store offers
“recycling at its finest”
ShoPPing For your winter wardrobe?
Then why not pop into Time & Time Again
in Sumner. This fascinating shop is always
full of surprises – with an ever-changing
selection of pre-loved clothing for men,
women and children as well as end-of-line,
brand-new designer clothing from new
Zealand labels iVYBLU and White Chalk.
Business owner Ali, who is celebrating the
one-year anniversary since she took over
on May 18, 2015, says she has made a few
changes to the shop.
“We have a much bigger range now,
with sizes from 4-24, and all the preloved
clothing is of excellent quality. We
have everything from designer brands
to everyday gear and accessories. i call it
‘recycling at its finest’.”
Time & Time Again is always accepting
stock, Ali says. There is a six-week turnover,
and if items are not sold within that time,
they are either returned to the owner or
donated to charity.
“We support St Vincent de Paul and Dress
For Success, which is a charity that helps
women who need to be dressed well to
apply for jobs.”
The income from the sale of clothing
is split 50/50 between the owner of the
clothing and Time & Time Again. People
supplying the shop are not just from
Christchurch; they come from as far afield
as Auckland, Blenheim and the West Coast,
so customers can always find something
different on the racks.
“The atmosphere is very relaxed and we
like our customers to have fun while they’re
shopping – there’s no pressure to buy,” Ali
says.
She and her assistant Mitch see
themselves as Sumner’s answer to Trinny
and Susannah.
“We like to play dress-ups with our
customers who are looking for a change of
style and we will give our honest opinion
if they want it. And we want to thank
customers for all their wonderful support
and business over our first 12 months,” Ali
says.
Time & Time Again also supports the
local community. For example, they held
a garage sale last year to fundraise for the
Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade’s new fire
truck, which is due to arrive in the next
couple of weeks.
Time & Time Again, in the Village Mall,
Sumner, is open 10am-5pm seven days a
week, with a late night on Thursday, and
also sells through Facebook or
Phone 326-7246.

Every bit of progress
should be celebrated
Port Hills
Labour MP
Ruth Dyson
says the
rebuilding of
community
facilities should
be equal across
different
communities:
Everywhere
you turn, there are signs of new
life – some just budding – like
the sign notifying the “soon to
start” work on the construction
of the Heathcote Valley
Community Centre and Library,
and the Lyttelton library while
others are in full bloom – such
as the magnificent Sumner Surf
Life Saving Club.
Every bit of progress
should be celebrated and
often represent very long
periods of insurance haggles,
fundraising, planning and sheer
hard work. Much of this work
is undertaken by volunteers
backed by generous donors
and innovative fundraising (the
‘Strictly Sumner’ amazing effort
not the only one but certainly
the most glamorous!). And of
course, many of the facilities are
being rebuilt by the city council,
often with additional local or
benefactor funding.
Two things are important to
me as we watch this progress.
The first is that we should do
everything we can to ensure
that there is equity between
communities. We know that
some parts of the city were hit
much harder than others.
That must be a factor in the
consideration of priorities,
particularly in timetables.
Replacement of new facilities
should go into the areas which
have been left with little,
otherwise they will find it very
hard to retain their population
and the residents who do stay
will be pretty demoralised.
Neither of those are good
outcomes.
The second important point is
that the community should have
a say in the shape, size, function
of replacement community
facilities.
If this happens, we are more
likely to get a facility which is
genuinely fit for purpose and
which excites the community.
If it is imposed, it will likely
be a mismatch and cause
puzzlement or frustration.
Again, not good outcomes!
I have seen some weak
community engagement and
I have seen some excellent
engagement.
We are lively, passionate,
committed communities. Let’s
tap into the talent and ideas of
local people as we build our city
for the future.
The transport agency
has decided it could
lower the speed
limit through Little
River from 70km/h to
60km/h, but not to
50km/h as residents
had requested. Last
week Bay Harbour
News asked its readers
whether people
thought 60km/h was
low enough:
Lisa Ashfield (mother
who is too scared
to let her kids Evie, 8,
and Charlie, 6, of Little
River, cross this road to
get an ice cream) – In
my opinion 60km/h
isn’t low enough.
I work on the main
street and my office
door is open right to
the street so I see and
hear it all.
I have witnessed
huge trucks with trailers
on, blasting through
here, overtaking cars
that are doing the
current speed limit, or
perhaps a little lower,
on a busy summer day
when both sides of the
road are full of parked
cars.
I have seen and heard
the speed that cars
constantly do through
here any time of day
or night. When the
limit’s 70km/h people
go 80km/h. When the
limit’s 60km/h people
do 70km/h. 70km/h
is simply too fast for
the village, especially
when it’s busy. So
reducing it to 60km/h
would make a scrap of
difference.
Tourists hurtle
through here in their
hoards - oblivious they
are passing through a
lovely populated little
town, going too fast,
just focused on getting
to their destination –
Akaroa. Folk don’t
often know we’re here,
so they’re not thinking
to be watchful of
pedestrians, especially
not children.
The place is full of
motorbikes in the
weekends, visiting the
cafe, and sometimes
I’d estimate there to be
at least 50 bikes at any
one time. Then add the
cars to that.
In the summer
months it is extremely
busy and a very dangerous
road to try and
cross at these times.
CONCERNED: Lisa Ashfield is not the only one who
is concerned about the speed limit. Residents Holly
and Lucia Liberona (left), Marcus Puentener, Gabe
Calcott, Paul Bradford holding Ayla, Laurie Williams
holding Callen and Sharon McIver also want it lowered
to 50km/h.
Locals of the peninsula,
who travel
through each day get
complacent and are
often the worst culprits
at speeding through
the village in a hurry,
racing to get ahead of
the campers and farm
vehicles. I don’t understand
why, in three
years of living here,
that I’ve only once seen
a police car sitting on
the street checking the
speeds.
The local children
have paved a common
route each day after
school from the library
on one side of the road,
to the store for an ice
cream or lollies afterwards
on the opposite
side, and there isn’t
even a zebra crossing.
There isn’t even one
outside our school and
we don’t even have
a school zone speed
limit.
We need this road to
be safe for our population,
and any visitors,
before there’s a tragedy.
There have already
been near misses, and
there has been the
death of people’s pets
hit by cars.
Please help us to
reduce our speed limit.
We can’t think for
the life of us why this
would be such a difficult
thing to achieve.
Just down the road in
Cooptown the speed
limit is reduced from
a 100km/h zone to
70km/h – and there are
no businesses.
No library, no
shops, no school, only
houses, and very few
pedestrians crossing
the road.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | MAY 2016
EQC’s approach to
its repair obligations
Land settlements update
Keith Land, EQC Head of Canterbury Land Settlement
EQC is now working on the remaining eleven percent of
green zone properties and red zone properties (not owned
by the Crown), which still need their land claims resolved.
“From a total of 73,000 such properties which had land claims,
there are now around 8,000 where the land claims still need to
be settled by EQC,” says EQC Head of Canterbury Land
Settlement, Keith Land.
This year EQC is aiming to complete these remaining land
damage settlements, with the majority of work focusing on
claims for Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) and
Increased Flooding Vulnerability (IFV) land damage.
As of early May, 60 percent of potential Increased Flooding
Vulnerability (IFV) customers (9,600) have had their IFV claims
resolved. This also includes any outstanding visible land
damage settlements these customers may have.
Together with resolving remaining IFV claims, the priority now
is on settlements for the around 4,400 ILV customers. Some
properties have both ILV and IFV land damage.
“We’re on track to start making the first payments to ILV
customers from late June,” says Mr Land.
Settlements for ILV land damage will be made by cash payment,
in line with how IFV and other types of land damage from the
2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes have been settled to date.
ILV settlements will be based on one of two approaches: repair
cost, or reduction in market value of the property due to ILV land
damage – also called Diminution of Value (DOV). Information on
ILV, and details of these settlement approaches, including
answers to a number of questions, can be found on the EQC
website at www.eqc.govt.nz/ILV
ILV land damage settlements on the basis of DOV
EQC expects that most ILV properties will be settled solely on the
basis of DOV. This is because, where the house has remained in
place after the earthquakes (as many have), there will not
generally be repair methods available to repair ILV damage on the
property. The first payments made in late June will be to those
customers with ILV land damage whose settlements are based on
DOV. “The ILV DOV approach and settlement amounts will be
similar to how we’ve been handling IFV claims,” says Mr Land.
Claim
deadline
looming
Christchurch residents whose
homes suffered damage
in the 29 February 2016
earthquake still have time
to lodge a claim with EQC.
The deadline for lodging
a claim is 30 May 2016.
This deadline does not stop
you from lodging a new claim
with EQC if your dwelling
incurs new damage as part
of recent or future quakes.
EQC encourages anyone
whose home suffered
damage in this event to make
a claim even if the damage
appears minor.
“We’ve been working closely with customer advocates groups to
make sure the settlement communications our customers receive
is clear and helps them understand our decision.”
ILV land damage settlements
on the basis of repair cost
Work is underway to determine the settlements for ILV
customers whose payments can be based on repair cost.
“We are planning to start contacting customers in early June
who, based on the information we have to date, have the
opportunity to complete a ground repair on their property to
address the ILV land damage,” says Mr Land. Before the repair
cost settlements can be made, EQC will be working closely with
these customers to understand their plans for rebuilding on the
site and whether the plans include any ground repair.
“We will have a dedicated team case managing these customers
to ensure EQC has a good understanding of their situation and
they are kept up-to-date with their claim’s status,” says Mr Land.
Land assessments and settlements in general
“We have identified different types of land damage – visible land
damage, IFV and ILV. For each type of land damage, we use a
range of assessment processes that allow the appropriate
settlement for each customer and are consistent with the
legislation in place.
“Each property is different and is assessed on a case-by-case
basis, so one customer’s settlement is not indicative of
another’s,” says Mr Land.
For more information on the approach to land claims and their
settlement, visit www.eqc.govt.nz/land.
“We also have an open and robust review process in place for
those customers who want us to review our decisions on
whether their insured land has damage and/or the settlement
amount paid,” says Mr Land.
Check out www.eqc.govt.nz/landreview for more information
on land settlement review.
Land settlements for red zone properties
EQC is assessing all residential land claims across Canterbury
in a consistent way – whether they are green zone properties or
red zone properties.
The Government’s decisions related to the red zone are separate
from EQC’s decisions related to the assessment and settlement
of land damage claims.
As agreed with CERA and now Land Information New Zealand
(LINZ), EQC’s priority continues to be to resolve land damage
claims for properties in the green zone and those in the red
zone, whose owners did not accept a Crown offer.
“However, we continue to work with LINZ, which has taken over
management of the around 7,000 Crown owned red zone
properties. We expect to agree a settlement approach with LINZ
in the second half of 2016, applying the same policies EQC has
used to settle green zone claims,” says Mr Land.
EQC has so far received just
over 10,500 building, contents
and land claims since the first
quake on Valentine’s Day.
People can lodge claims
with EQC online at www.eqc.
govt.nz/claims via email on
info@eqc.govt.nz or by calling
0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243).
The EQC call centre is open
7am to 9pm Monday to Friday
and 8am to 6pm on Saturdays.
There has been some discussion about how the Earthquake
Commission meets its obligations under the Earthquake Commission
Act (EQC Act) following the release of the Joint Statement agreed
with a group of Canterbury homeowners, the EQC Action Group.
Information on what the joint statement means for customers
and how customers can request a review of their claim can be found
at www.eqc.govt.nz
EQC acknowledges that every homeowner affected by earthquake damage
faces a set of circumstances specific to their property and that a different repair
strategy is likely to be applied in each case. That said, EQC uses some general
principles when making its decisions. EQC insures an earthquake-damaged
house for its replacement value up to a certain cap, usually $115,000 including
GST, according to the EQC Act. Given there has been some confusion about
what “replacement value” means, it’s worth having a close look at the
definition in the EQC Act, which includes three main elements:
1. the costs which would be reasonably incurred
2. in reinstating the building to a condition substantially the same as but not
better or more extensive than its condition when new
3. modified as necessary to comply with any applicable laws.
Some of the commentary following the Joint Statement focused on the
concept of “when new”, which refers to when the house was new. While
“when new” is one element, EQC needs to take into account each of the
three main elements, when meeting its obligations under the Act. For
instance, the concept of when new needs to be seen in light of complying
with any applicable laws.
How ‘replacement value’ may apply in practice
Example 1
Following an earthquake, a brick chimney falls through the corrugated iron
roof of a 1900s-era villa.
The falling chimney smashes through the ceiling, shattering a ceramic light
fitting that was already badly deteriorated prior to the earthquake.
To repair the roof, the corrugated iron in the area where the chimney fell
would be replaced with new corrugated iron. If corrugated iron of the same
type as the damaged iron is not available because it is no longer
manufactured, the new corrugated iron would be a modern product, which
matches as closely as possible the profile of the damaged corrugated iron.
In some situations, the new corrugated iron may be coloured steel or
the corrugated iron may need to be repainted to match the colour of the
existing roof.
EQC may also need to reinstate or replace non-damaged parts of the roof
that need to be removed in order to repair the earthquake damage, such as
the iron ridging on the roof peak.
The repair work to the roof would be carried out to ensure the work meets
applicable laws such as the performance standards in the Building Code.
The light fitting would be replaced. If the existing wiring couldn’t be safely
reconnected to the light fitting then an Electrical Safety Inspection would be
required. The wiring would need replacing to a point where the electrician
determines it can safely be reconnected, and to meet any legal requirements
for that work.
Example 2
An earthquake damages the so-called ‘rubble foundations’ a home is built
on. If the foundation can be repaired so that the foundation is in a condition
substantially the same as when it was new and the repair work complies with
applicable laws, the foundation repair will meet the “replacement value”
standard. In other cases, to meet the standard of applicable laws, part or
all of the foundation may need to be replaced. EQC considers each repair
strategy based on the facts specific to each home. Individual foundation
repairs are dependent on the nature of the foundation, the type of
earthquake damage suffered and the make-up of the concrete.
Customers can request a review
If any customer believes EQC has missed earthquake damage to their home,
disagrees with the repair strategy EQC has proposed, or believes their
settlement amount is not correct, they can use EQC’s standard processes to
request a review of their individual claim on 0800 DAMAGE (0800 326 243)
or email info@eqc.govt.nz

Prolonged toxic algae
bloom in Lake Forsyth
Steve Lowndes,
Banks
Peninsula Zone
Committee
chairman, gives
his view on
Lake Forsyth
The health of Lake Forsyth
or Te Roto o Wairewa is near
and dear to me. I have lived at
Birdlings Flat (Poranui) for the
last 15 years and my home looks
out to the lake. My attachment
to the lake is strong. I love her
different moods and interplay
with the surrounding hills, sea
and sky.
It saddens me that the lake is
sick. This summer we have had
one of the most prolonged toxic
algae blooms for years.
We cannot blame intensive
dairying, large scale irrigation or
industrial discharges as there are
none in the catchment. Unfortunately,
much of the blame lies
with early timber millers who
logged the catchment to provide
timber to build Christchurch
and in the process released large
quantities of phosphorous-rich
sediment that ended up in the
lake. Phosphorus is a natural
element of the volcanic soils of
Banks Peninsula.
Toxic algae blooms are not
new. The first recorded bloom
was in the late 1800s when a
rowing regatta was cancelled
because of algae in the lake.
The sediment that came down
the catchment in the 1860s is
still in the lake. The rate of accumulation
has decreased as the
hill healed over the years but
still large amounts of sediment
come into the lake during flood
events.
It is phosphorous that feeds
the annual toxic algae blooms
and unfortunately phosphorous
is recycled each year through the
algae back into the sediment on
the lake floor then back through
next year’s algae bloom. We
could still be recycling phosphorous
from 1860s.
Why is it so bad this year?
Well we don’t really know as
in spite of all the research that
has been undertaken over the
years we still don’t understand
the interplay between a number
of factors. We know phosphorus
is a limiting factor but don’t
know the role of oxygen, nitrate,
ammonia levels, salt concentrations,
temperature or plankton
grazers and micronutrients.
We think this year’s algae
bloom may be related to low
lake levels. The low rainfall
during 2015 winter meant that
the level of the lake as it entered
the summer period was lower
than it has been for the last four
to five years. We also think the
input of phosphorous laden
sediment during the three major
floods in the autumn of 2014
may have something to do with
it.
What is being done?
The Wairewa rūnanga has led
much of the recent work to clean
up the lake and has a goal to
restore it to a healthy source of
food (mahinga kai). The rūnanga
has led various research and
feasibility studies with Landcare
Research, Lincoln and Canterbury
University and NIWA.
The rūnanga has also been
working with Christchurch City
Council to trial a new lake opening.
This new opening provides
greater control on when and how
long the lake stays open to the
sea and therefore greater control
on the lake level. This month a
joint consent to continue to use
the pilot opening was granted
to the rūnanga and the Christchurch
City Council for a period
of 35 years.
The Banks Peninsula Zone
Committee, after working with
the community and technical
experts, recommended in 2014
that, given the current state of
knowledge it was best to focus
attention on reducing further
sediment input into the lake and
understand better how the lake
works before trying to remove
and dispose of 800 Olympic-size
swimming pools of accumulated
sediment.
As a consequence of these
recommendations Environment
Canterbury has proposed
changes to the Land and Water
Regional Plan which requires
stricter controls on stock access
to the river banks on the valley
floor where most of the sediment
comes from. The hearing for
Plan Change 6 (Wairewa) was
completed a couple of weeks
ago.
We are hoping to see these
provisions come into effect
later in the year. The zone
committee is also supporting
the development of a sediment
management work programme
and plan a pilot project to
help landowners manage and
remediate their stream banks.
ECan has also improved its
monitoring of the lake so real
time data on a variety of water
quality parameters are collected
continuously. This will give us a
much better idea of how the lake
conditions change throughout
the year and help us to design
future actions that don’t cause
bigger problems than the ones
we are trying to fix.
The community is also working
hard to improve management
of the main rivers to mitigate
the effects of flood events
but also manage them to reduce
sediment discharges. Stock are
already being fenced out of the
rivers and the Little River community
nursery provides native
plants and advice on riparian
planting.
There is a fine line between
management of the rivers for
flood mitigation and reducing
sediment discharges, but I am
confident everyone is aware of
these dual goals and are taking
both into account before taking
action.
Both the rūnanga and the zone
committee have been thinking
about the next big action to take.
Both, however, are cautious
about knee jerk reactions and
want to ensure proposals are
based on good science and
will work. Currently the zone
committee, with the help of
ECan, are trying to determine
whether a sediment retention
basin would intercept sediment
during flood events before it
reaches the lake. Another idea
is to use wetland vegetation to
take up phosphorous that could
be harvested and removed from
the lake.
What is the future?
In spite of a considerable
amount of energy and
action from individuals and
organisations alike, the lake has
a mind of her own. We thought
the new lake opening had made
a difference and we’d seen
improvements in the indicators
such as the tropic level index
and the presence of macrophytes
in the lake last summer.
But this year, in spite of our
best efforts we’ve had the algae
bloom.
Unfortunately, there is no
quick fix and no one to blame.
It will take time. There will
be setbacks and the effects of
climate change has just made the
job harder. But I am confident
that with everyone doing their
bit, Te Roto o Wairewa will once
again be a source of food that
we are proud of and enjoy.

Mixed success for waka paddlers
Lyttelton waka paddlers have
become world champions following
a storming performance in the
Sunshine Coast.
Based out of the Naval Point
Club Lyttelton, Te Waka Pounamu’s
top team Aoraki Matatu
won gold in the 12-man 1500m
race.
They also won silver in both
the six-man 1000m, and six-man
500m races at the recent world
elite sprint championships in
Australia.
Aoraki Matatu won the 12-man
event, after combining the force
of their six-man team with Pineula,
a team from South Auckland.
The Lyttelton team approached
Pineula after they beat them at the
national competition, offering to
bring them to the world championships.
The Auckland side
accepted their offer.
Pineula split with Aoraki
Matatu for the six-man 1000m
event, where teams row four
250m lengths.
Team spokesman Ross Gilray
said the team thought they had
won, when they pipped Tahiti in
the final length.
“We thought we had won it . .
. but during one of our turns, the
buoy had moved into a different
lane and it wasn’t picked up by
anyone,” he said.
The race had to be started
again, and Aoraki Matatu
was beaten by Tahiti in the
second attempt.

“It cost us in the end, we were
pretty pleased, but silver is not
quite gold,” Gilray said.
After the controversy of the
1000m event, the side took to the
water for the final six-man 500m
sprint. Gilray said the team had
been improving since nationals,
but couldn’t put it all together
against a stronger Tahiti.
“We went down to Tahiti, who
had an eight-time world champion
in their boat . . . at the end
of the tournament (Tahiti) were
happy to be around us and we
swapped shirts and things,” he
said.
The team arrived in Christchurch
yesterday, and plan to
spend time with their families
before turning their focus to the
next world championships in
Tahiti in two years’ time.
WORLD CHAMPIONS: Aoraki Matatu are world champs after their performance in the 12-man 1500m
event.
UNLUCKY: The team were unfortunate to have to re-do a race which they initially won, and finished
second.

Transitioning skincare
through the seasons
Skincare expert and facialist Clemency Alice has a passion for beauty and organic
skincare. Recently travelling to Paris and Australia to further her knowledge, she
shares her secrets.
the tRAnSition from summer to
autumn can have a major impact on your
skin’s overall condition and appearance. if
the new season catches you unaware and
unprepared, your skin can become very
dry, extremely sensitive, lacklustre and
more susceptible to breakouts. This is due
to the change in oil flow – which was on
an all-time high during summer – and the
vitality of the ‘skin glow’ waning as cooler
temperatures plummet, constricting
blood vessels. here’s what you need to
know to ensure your skin stays prepped
and primped for the change of season.
PReSeRVe youR liPid BARRieR
if you remove this protective skin barrier
through more aggressive methods of overcleansing
and over-exfoliating, then the
skin cells aren’t prepared and your skin
becomes more vulnerable to the extreme
temperatures and external elements of
wind, sun and rain. A way to protect
and maintain hydration in your skin is
through spritzing your face after cleansing
with a floral facial mist then locking the
moisture in with your favourite facial oil
or moisturiser.
SwitCh moiStuRiSeRS
opt for a creamier, rich texture in
your moisturiser that has antioxidant,
super skin-boosting ingredients. Select
moisturisers that contain hyaluronic acid
(skin plumping and hydrating), vitamin
C (antioxidant and uV-protecting
properties), shea butter (moisturising
and protecting), and rose (softening,
anti-inflammatory, hydrating). And for
those with oilier skins, opt for a balancing
facial oil with lavender (restorative
and calming) and jojoba (balancing to
the acid mantle, protecting and antiinflammatory).
PRoteCt youR Skin
Just because summer is a distant dream,
keep applying a chemical-free SPF daily,
and opt for a seperate sun-care product
with a minimum of SPF30 rather than
relying on sun protection from your
foundation.

An achingly funny story from the author of the
bestselling YOU HAD ME AT HELLO. What’s the
one thing you do at a wedding? Kiss your groom.
What’s the one thing you DON’T do at a wedding?
Kiss someone else’s groom. When Edie is caught in a
compromising position at her colleagues’ wedding, all the blame
falls on her - turns out that personal popularity in the office is not that different
from your schooldays. Ostracised by everyone she knows, shamed online,
her boss suggests an extended sabbatical. He has the perfect project to fill
it - ghostwriting an autobiography for hot new acting talent, Elliot Owen.
All she has to do is keep her head down and get on with the star. Easy,
right? Wrong. Banished back to her home town of Nottingham, Edie is not
only dealing with a celebrity megabrat of epic proportions but also facing
the ghosts of her past as she moves back in with her widowed father and
layabout sister. As she questions the woman she has become, Edie realises
that turning to look at her past is not just painful - it could potentially change
her future.

DCL Shield now in
Sumner’s hands
FRASER WALKER-PEARCE
your
LOCAL
Sports
Sumner’s premier rugby team
convincingly beat High School
Old Boys winning the DCL
Shield.
Sumner outscored HSOB by
three tries, and Saturday’s game
ended 51-22.
It is Sumner’s first time as the
shield holders.
Club president Andy Toy said
the team deserved their convincing
win.
“It was a massive game. It was
brilliant, and they played well.
We were 21 points up in the first
18 or so minutes,” he said.
Elias Caven and former
Saracens player Tom Whitely
both scored twice in the shieldwinning
match, to give Sumner a
34-10 half time lead. The visitors
never went behind on the scoreboard
in a convincing victory.
Mr Toy said from there HSOB
were on the back foot for the rest
of the game.
“We defended well and attacked
well too. We put 50
points on a team at the top of
the table at their home ground, it
was awesome,” he said.
After celebrating with it at a
restaurant on Saturday night,
the shield was kept “safe” by
the captain Josh Leszczuk until
last night when it was returned
to Canterbury Rugby Football
Union to take care of until Sumner’s
next home match.
Mr Toy said “the boys” had
looked after the shield after the
match.
“They were looking after it.
They were celebrating with it
and looking after it. It will be
there on Saturday, but we’re
handing it back in tonight (Tuesday),”
he said.
Their first shield defence
match will be on Saturday
against Linwood, who sit in fifth
on the table.
The win put a stop to a five
game losing streak, which began
on April 9, when they were
beaten by Lincoln University
39-21.
They now sit in ninth on the
Hawkins Division One cup table
after seven games.

Surf low but surfers flourish
BY AARON LOCK, SURF
COACH, SUMNER
It seems like the golden weather
may have finally come to an
end. It was great while it lasted.
The surf has been a little disappointing
lately with lots of very
small days and there’s been
very little south swell over the
last two weeks as well. The
wind flow has been too west
over the country to send us any
significant swell but the weather
patterns appear to be changing
now. So the cooler wetter
weather may at least bring us
some surf.
The water temperature is still
quite mild at around 15 deg C.
The Go Pro Canterbury Surf
Championships were held
over labour weekend. The first
two days were greeted to tiny
conditions at North Beach allowing
organisers to run only
the younger age groups and the
longboarding. The final day
was a marathon of surfing with
most of the event heats having
to be squeezed into one day in
reasonable 3-4
ft waves at Gore
Bay. The event attracted
New Zealand’s
best surfers
with Maz Quinn
taking out the
open event. Local
surfers were well
represented. Harrison Whiteside
won the Under 20 event against
some stiff competition from the
North Island. Neill Robb dominated
the Over 45 division.
Local boardriders club Point

rejuvenated this summer, the
club has been in existence since
1983 but has been in hibernation
for the past five years or
so. It was once the dominant
force in competitive surfing
in the south island with many
champion surfers amongst the
membership.
Some renewed interest
and energy has seen the club
become more active once
again. The junior club has been
especially popular with more
