Plan to deepen harbour channel 

sparks environmental concerns 

BRIDGET RUTHERFORD 

Plans to dig a deeper channel 

in Lyttelton Harbour are 

progressing, but critics are 

worried about the impact on 

the environment, including 

endangered hector’s dolphins. 

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch 

wants to deepen the harbour’s 

navigation channel by 2m to 

accommodate larger container 

vessels. 

It plans to apply for resource 

consent mid-way 

through this year. 

But University 

of Otago marine 

animal expert 

Professor 

Liz Slooten 

(left) said the 

dredging could 

be disruptive 

to hector’s dolphins living in 

and around the harbour. It it 

estimated there are just over 

7270 left. 

Professor Slooten has been 

doing research on hector’s 

dolphins around Banks 

Peninsula, and said the 

population was already under 

threat from fishing. 

She said dredging the harbour 

floor could remove marine life 

fish feed on, ultimately having

channel in the harbour.

a flow-on affect to the dolphins, 

she said. 

She said Port Otago was 

also looking to dredge to 

accommodate larger vessels. 

“It doesn’t make sense 

for everyone to be doing 

developments, probably paid 

out of taxpayer money, doing 

environmental damage when 

we’re not sure if these ships are 

coming,” Professor Slooten said. 

LPC chief executive Peter 

Davie said it wanted to do the 

project in order to keep up with 

international shipping trends to 

support the regional economy. 

He said LPC was working 

with independent experts to 

understand effects on marine 

ecologies, marine mammals and 

their food sources, both inside 

and outside the harbour. 

MP and Rapaki runanga 

member Nuk Korako said the 

runanga wanted the dredged 

sediment to be dumped outside 

the harbour. 

He said the runanga 

understood it was a working 

port, and if they could find a 

balance, they would be happy. 

Green List MP Eugenie Sage 

said LPC needed to consult with 

the community about its plans 

before it applied for consent. 

“Leaving it just to the formal 

Resource Management Act 

processes is not consultation, 

especially given the short 

time-frames under the RMA 

for people to understand and 

comment on complex proposals.” 

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert 

Community Board chairwoman 

Paula Smith said the dumping of 

sediment dredged up would be 

the most contentious issue. 

She said some people in 

Sumner and Taylors Mistake had 

previously been worried that the 

sediment could travel north with 

the sea current.

FREEDOM 

Residents suggest 

ways to clamp down 

on boy racers 


Governors Bay residents have 

come up with measures to try 

and help police clamp down on 

boy racer issues in the area. 

Four community 

representatives met on Monday 

to discuss the progress that has 

been made on the problem over 

the past year. 

Resident Rosie Belton said 

the group decided it wanted the 

speed limit lowered on Dyers 

Pass Rd from 100km/h down to 

70km/h. 

“At the moment if they’re 

going 90km/h and it’s 

dangerous, police can’t do 

anything because the limit is 

100km/h.” 

The community also wanted 

more signage, including flashing 

speed signs at the entry points 

to Governors Bay, to make 

drivers aware to slow down, she 

said. 

Another point raised was the 

possibility of having a different 

surface at the bottom of Dyers 

Pass Rd to try and prevent boy

“We just want to feel safe on 

our roads.” 

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert 

Community Board member 

Denis Aldridge, who was at the 

informal meeting, would take 

the issues raised to the board, 

and city council. 

Community board 

chairwoman and Summit Road 

Protection Authority member 

Paula Smith said a meeting 

was held about three weeks ago 

to talk about how to curb the 

problem. 

City council staff, authority 

members and community board 

members came up with four 

possible mitigation measures, 

including possibly prohibiting 

parts of Summit Rd to vehicles 

at certain times. 

A report would be prepared 

based on those options, and 

would go to the authority’s next 

meeting in July to be discussed, 

Ms Smith said. 

Ms Belton said Governors Bay 

residents would be happy for 

parts of the Summit Rd to be 

closed at times, because it would 

stop boy racers using the route.

CAMPING BAN 

EXTENDED 

The temporary freedom 

camping ban at French Farm, 

Wainui and Ferrymead’s 

Windsport Park has been 

extended until May 31, 2017. 

City council chief executive 

Karleen Edwards made the 

decision to extend the ban 

last week. Non-self-contained 

freedom campers were 

allowed in five sites across 

the city under a new bylaw, 

however, it drew problems with 

overcrowding and overuse of 

toilets, forcing the city council 

to put a temporary ban in place 

in March. The city council 

will conduct a partial review 

of the bylaw this year, and an 

extensive review next year. 

ANDREW TURNER TO STAND 

IN BANKS PENINSULA WARD 

City councillor Andrew Turner 

has been selected by The 

People’s Choice to contest the 

Banks Peninsula ward in the 

upcoming local body elections. 

Cr Turner said if he was reelected 

as the Banks Peninsula 

councillor, his priorities would 

be to ensure the new community 

board was a success to continue 

to deliver the rebuild and 

repair of facilities, ensure the 

community is involved in 

decision making, and make 

sure the peninsula voices were 

heard.

Ferry a vital connection 

Diamond 

Harbour 

Community 

Association 

chairman 

Richard 

Suggate says if 

the Diamond 

Harbour Ferry 

is to be part 

of an effective public transport 

network, it needs to easily 

connect with bus services. 

The Diamond Harbour ferry 

is a vital connection between 

Lyttelton and the harbour’s 

southern bays. During the 

week it takes residents to and 

from school, work and town 

appointments. In the weekend 

it’s popular with shoppers in the 

Lyttelton market and visitors 

coming to enjoy the area’s 

coastal walks, cafes and beach. 

Instead of keeping the ferry 

berth at its current site, where 

SOAP 

BOX 

it’s short walk to London 

St and the town centre, the 


has approval to move the ferry 

service west into Dampier 

Bay. From there it’s a longer, 

less convenient walk to town, 

especially for parents with 

push chairs, people carrying 

shopping, and seniors. 

The recently released Dampier 

Bay draft design guide does not 

show a bus turning area and 

adequate car parking for ferry 

users close to the proposed 

Dampier Bay terminal. If the 

ferry is to be part of an effective 

public transport network then it 

needs to easily connect with bus 

services to and from Lyttelton 

and the city. 

The current repair work on 

the bus turning area which 

means buses are in Norwich 

Quay and no longer close to 

the ferry, shows the problem 

when ferry and bus services are 

disconnected. Bus timetables at 

evening rush hour have become 

meaningless. People miss the 

ferries they want when buses 

arrive late in Lyttelton because 

of city traffic congestion; 

blocked bus lanes in Colombo 

St; and the extra distance 

between the bus stop and the 

ferry. 

If we want reliable, wellpatronised 

public transport links 

between the central city, Lyttelton 

and the harbour bays, then city 

bus lanes needed to be policed 

and kept clear for buses; the No 

28 Express bus service popular 

before the earthquakes reinstated; 

realistic timetables prepared; and 

a modern ferry terminal built 

sooner rather than later.

the Diamond Harbour Ferry 

service links well with the bus 

timetable? Email your views to

National List MP based in 

the Port Hills, Nuk Korako, 

says we need to clean up our 

waterways for the future: 

Earlier this month I joined 

roughly 1300 volunteers in 

the inaugural 

‘Mother of all 

Clean Ups’. 

Right across 

Christchurch, 

numerous 

community 

groups, residents’ 

associations and 

individuals came 

together to pick 

up over twenty 

tonnes of litter 

from along the 

estuary edge and 

riverbanks. 

Thank you to the Avon- 

Ōtākaro Network, Ōpāwaho 

Heathcote River Network 

and Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Ihutai Trust for coordinating 

this superb initiative, and 

thank you to everyone 

who took part. This was a 

wonderful opportunity for 

us all to reconnect with our 

natural assets. 

It was great to see such a 

fantastic community effort 

going in to cleaning up 

our local waterways, but 

managing our freshwater 

resources is also a national 

issue and one that requires 

Government action. 

That is why the Government 

is taking steps to improve our 

freshwater management. We 

have already committed more 

than $350 million on projects 

to clean up and protect New 

Zealand’s most 

iconic lakes, rivers 

and wetlands. 

We are also 

strengthening 

and clarifying the 

national standards 

and setting limits 

regionally to protect 

the environment and 

water users. These 

steps are crucial 

in making sure we 

leave our rivers, 

lakes and aquifers 

in better shape for future 

generations. 

Cleaning up our rivers 

and lakes is a big task and in 

many cases it will take time 

to see the results we need. 

With both the Government 

and our local communities 

tackling this matter head-on, 

I know we will continue to 

make significant progress 

in protecting this important 

resource. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: do you 

think the Government is 

doing enough to clean up 

waterways? Email bridget.

Lyttelton firefighters braved the 

cold on Saturday to unveil the 

original foundation stone where 

their new station will be built. 

The foundation stone came 

from Lyttelton’s original fire station 

on the corner of Oxford St 

and Sumner Rd, which the brigade 

moved out of in 1967. 

It had been in storage until it 

was installed at the Oxford St 

site at the weekend, alongside 

a new plaque explaining its significance. 

The volunteer fire brigade’s 

Oxford St station was badly 

damaged in the February 2011 

earthquake and later demolished. 

Work to build a new station 

on the site has begun, and is expected 

to be completed by December. 

Chief fire officer Mark Buckley 

said brigade life member and 

former chief fire officer John 

Fogarty who received a Queen’s 

Fire Service Medal, unveiled the 

foundation stone. 

He said it was a symbolic 

day.

Fire station foundation stone laid 

The brigade had to move to the 


car park following the quakes, 

before moving back into temporary 

premises on Oxford St, 

and then into its current home on 

Norwich Quay. 

“It’s great to see some forward 

movement on the station,” Mr 

Buckley said. 

Water levels 

being 

monitored 


Banks Peninsula’s stream levels 

are being monitored this week 

to see whether water restrictions 

need to be put in place. 

City council reticulation manager 

Rob Meek said the city council 

was investigating the introduction 

of water restrictions in Banks 

Peninsula. 

Following the rainfall over the 

weekend, the city council was going 

to monitor the situation over 

the week to give it a better idea of 

whether the restrictions needed to 

be imposed. 

The networks most at risk were 

Duvauchelle, Takamatua and 

Akaroa, he said. 

“We are currently working out 

the stream flows for all streams 

in Banks Peninsula to decide 

whether restrictions are needed.’’ 

Banks Peninsula Water Zone 

Committee chairman Steve 

Lowndes said the area was particularly 

exposed in dry weather 

because it was not connected to 

Christchurch’s aquifers. 

But he said it was not a one-off, 

rather the beginning of an ongoing 

trend as a result of climate change. 

“We all must start to change our 

attitude to the way we consume 

and conserve water.”

Glen Walker 

Firefighter takes up challenge 

On Saturday, Lyttelton’s volunteer firefighter Glen 

Walker will tackle the gruelling Sky Tower Stair 

Challenge “one last time”. Bridget Rutherford spoke 

to the 62-year-old about the mental and physical 

challenge of running up 1103 stairs in full kit, his 

most memorable call outs, and losing his daughter. 

So you are competing in 

this month’s Sky Tower Stair 

Challenge, when do you start 

training for it? 

Well the event is so popular, 

entries for it open in November 

each year. So I always start 

training then to ease into it. It’s 

quite hard to ration training for 

six months, but it’s just something 

you have to do. Living in 

Lyttelton is great because you 

just go out your back door and 

there are steep places. Going 

up Bridle Path is good. You’ve 

got to train on stairs with some 

weight on to get your body used 

to climbing. As you get closer 

to the time, you start going out 

full kit to get used to climbing 

with the equipment. Every year 

we do the Rendezvous challenge, 

which is about 20 floors. 

It’s about the tallest building in 

Christchurch now. That was in 

early April, and the Lyttelton 

team won the volunteer brigade 

prize. 

So how many times have you 

taken part in the Sky Tower 

challenge? 

This will be number six. The 

first time I did it was the year of 

the February 2011 earthquake. 

We were in training and then 

the quake hit. The Lyttelton 

brigade camped at the station for 

about six weeks. We cancelled 

and some of Auckland brigades 

called us and paid for our airfares 

to still take part. I got third 

in the over 50s category that 

year. 

Can you fill me in on what it 

involves? 

Well you start at five or six 

floors below the street level at 

the Auckland Sky Tower. And 

everyone goes off about every 

30 seconds starting at 7.30am. 

And they keep going every 30 

seconds until mid-afternoon. 

Everyone is dressed in full kit, 

so it’s just a case of trying to 

judge the pace, the air in your 

cylinder, and you go round and

doing, but by the time you get 

there it’s great, and after you 

finish you say you’ll be back 

next year. And it’s really nice to 

fund raise for Leukaemia and 

Blood Cancer New Zealand. It’s 

a combination of fund raising 

and trying to out-do some of the 

younger guys. 

How do you compare with 

the younger guys? Do you beat 

them?

just turned 62 and I can still beat 

some of the younger guys. 

What is your best time? 

I did 12 minutes 26 seconds. 

That was three years ago when I 

won the over 50s. Winning or trying 

to win is a great motivation. 

How many are in the Lyttelton 

team? 

We have eight in our team this 

year from early 20s through to 

me. We’ve raised nearly $21,000 

so far and we’re right up there 

among the top fund raising 

teams in the country. Two of our 

team members, Peter and Craig, 

are right up there for the highest 

individual fund raiser so that’s 

pretty amazing. 

You mentioned you’ve done 

lots of cycle races and runs, 

how does the challenge stack 

up against those? 

Out of all the things I’ve done, 

half marathons and cycle races, 

this is the only one that’s made 

me just about physically sick. It 

is so extremely tough that when 

you get to the top, and even 

up to half an hour later, you’re 

trying to stop yourself heaving 

into a nearby rubbish bin. That’s 

part of the mental challenge, it’s 

not just about the physical challenge. 

And you’ve won a couple of 

titles haven’t you?

to climb Sky Tower for charity 

The first year I was third in the 

over 50s, and the following year 

I was second, then the year after 

I won the over 50s. Then they 

created the over 60s category, so 

more older people are doing it. 

I think this will be the last one, 

your heart rate gets so high you 

have to wonder if someone my 

age should be doing it (laughs). 

How long have you been a 

firefighter? 

I started in Governors Bay in 

2002, and I’ve been with Lyttelton 

since 2007. 

What would have been the 

toughest thing you have encountered 

through your role as 

a firefighter? 

I think dealing with medical 

calls, if there is someone injured 

or very sick. We’re lucky in 

Lyttelton we don’t get too many 

accidents like other brigades. 

There are a lot of physical challenges, 

sometimes you can be up 

on the roof in gale force winds 

trying to bolt down a piece of 

tin. It’s not just fires, you’ve got 

to be quite resourceful and solve 

problems. 

What are some of the quirkier 

call outs you’ve been to? 

People often joke about getting 

cats out of trees, and that 

does happen. You might have 

to quietly get the hose out and 

GOING FOR IT: Glen Walker

Sky Tower Stair Challenge. 

spray them so they come down. 

Someone once said, you’ll never 

find a cat’s skeleton in a tree, 

they always come down. Those 

are the stranger ones, animals 

getting stuck somewhere. 

Is there any rescue or fire 

that you were called out to that 

sticks in your mind? 

Probably the recent one where 

there was a fire at the top of a 

steep road. It was a huge physical 

effort. It was in the middle of 

the night and turned out to be an 

abandoned house fire way up in 

the trees. That, and some of the 

ships fire are probably the most 

interesting ones. 

And can you tell me a bit 

about your family? 

My wife’s name is Katharin, 

and we have three children, they 

have left home now. We lost 

a daughter in 1996. She was 

13 and died suddenly, cause 

unknown. They didn’t find 

anything wrong with her heart 

or brain, she was perfect, she 

just collapsed one day. We’ve 

been pushing a lot for people 

and organisations to get defibrillators 

and I think it’s a much 

bigger thing now. She could 

have possibly been saved if they 

had been available at the time. 

We’ve only sort of recovered 

from that. Grief is unusual thing 

to go through, it can make you 

stronger but it can knock you 

down, too. Georgia was a good 

little dancer, she was always 

keen to go to Ireland for the 

Irish Dancing Championships. 

She would have been 21 in 

about 2003, and my wife took 

her ashes to Ireland, climbed a 

sacred mountain and scattered 

them there. Once we get our 

house back, we would like to go 

back to Ireland and visit her.

And when you’re not working 

or out on call outs, what 

do you like to do in your spare 

time? 

We do a lot of DIY at home 

and a lot of gardening. We always 

love a project, but we’re in 

a rental in Heathcote, so once we 

get back into our home once our 

insurance is sorted, we will get 

into some more projects. .

Community centre name wanted 

Lyttelton gears 

up for festival 

COMMUNITY INPUT: The new Sumner community facility needs a name – and you can make your 

suggestions. 

Calling all creative Sumner 

residents – the new community 

centre, library and museum 

needs a name. 

The Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board discussed the best 

way to name the new facility in 

March and now the city council 

is asking residents to submit their 

ideas. 

From there, the best suggestions 

will be voted on by the public, 

and a winner announced in 

July, before construction is due 

to begin in August. 

Suggestions opened on Monday 

and will continue until June 

12. 

The two-storey, 1200 sq m facility 

will be built on the corner 

of Wakefield Ave and Nayland 

St, where the former community 

centre sat. 

It is expected to take 10 months 

to build. 

Communities, housing and 

economic development committee 

chairman Andrew Turner 

said the name was one of the last 

things to fall into place. 

“We are looking for something 

that will capture the elements 

of the Sumner community 

and all that the centre will offer 

– a library, museum, meeting 

rooms and large hall with a 

stage.” 

A similar campaign was used 

to name Te Hapua: Halswell 

Centre, and drew a number of inspiring 

and amusing suggestions, 

he said. 

The winner would receive $50 

credit at Christchurch City Libraries. 

The city council earmarked 

$10 million for the facility in the 

2009-2019 Long Term Plan, and 

the Sumner Redcliffs Historical 

Society is contributing $50,000 

for the construction of the museum. 

Name suggestions can be made 

online at www.yourvoice.ccc. 

govt.nz/sumnercentre or at drop 

boxes at Sumner School, The 

Hub Sumner, Linwood Library 

and South Library.

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.

LYTTELTON TUNNEL NEWS 

SOUTH ISLAND’S ECONOMIC LIFELINE 

Since the February 2011 earthquake, Lyttelton 

Tunnel has become even more of an economic 

lifeline for Canterbury and the South Island. It is 

critical for getting fuel supplies to Christchurch 

and beyond and for exporters to get their 

product to markets. 

The long-term closure of Evans Pass because of 

rockfall means the tunnel will remain the only 

viable access route for freight vehicles to get to 

the Lyttelton Port of Christchurch until late 2017/ 

early 2018 when it is expected Evans Pass will 

re-open. 

While Dyers Pass Road and Gebbies Pass can 

be used by some heavy vehicles, these are not 

preferred routes because of the greater safety 

issues relating to steep grades and narrow, 

windy roads. 

The additional freight vehicles through 

the tunnel, which includes those carrying 

demolition rubble to the Port for its reclamation 

programme, are contributing to the sometimes 

general lack of cleanliness of the tunnel, i.e. 

grime on the white tiles. 

Up to eight tonnes of dirt and dust can be 

removed from the tunnel every month. This 

compares with 235kg a month before the 

earthquakes, sweeping of the tunnel having 

increased from once a month to three times a 

week. 

Cleaning of the tunnel often came second in 

the early days following the earthquakes, with 

the tunnel being kept open for freight vehicles, 

particularly dangerous goods, which require the 

tunnel to be closed to all other traffic, including 

the cleaning machines, for periods of up to 

10 minutes. Dangerous goods vehicles include 

tankers carrying petrol, gas and other highly 

flammable goods. 

On average, 600 tankers travel through the 

tunnel each month and up to 30 on some nights. 

This means the tunnel can be closed for several 

hours a day as the tankers arrive at varying 

times, depending on schedules, the number of 

closures differing each hour. These closures, 

however, are at night, from 6.30pm to 7am. 

The NZ Transport Agency works hard to 

balance the needs of everyone who requires 

access through the tunnel, keeping delays to a 

minimum but always being mindful of the need 

to undertake regular maintenance to protect the 

51-year-old structure. 

Lyttelton Tunnel bylaw 

The NZ Transport Agency is bringing in a revised bylaw to better manage Lyttelton Tunnel 

and ensure the safety of all users. 

The biggest change under the revised bylaw will be mandatory covering of truck and 

trailers carrying bulk goods through the tunnel. This is a result of dust and dirt from these 

vehicles which has become both a safety and maintenance issue. 

While the Land Transport Act requires all vehicles secure their loads, the new bylaw 

specifies that all loose bulk loads must be covered in a way that minimises dirt and 

material escaping. 

The area over which the bylaw can be enforced is also being extended to cover State 

Highway 74 from the intersection of Norwich Quay and Oxford Street, in Lyttelton, to the 

old layover bay, 200 metres north, of the Bridle Path Road on-ramp on the Heathcote side. 

For safety, the revised bylaw reconfirms that dangerous goods and over dimension 

vehicles will not be allowed to use the tunnel. This will be enforced once Evans Pass reopens 

late 2017/early 2018. 

Under the revised bylaw, the maximum height and width limits for the tunnel will be: 

• Any vehicle more than 2.6m wide needs permission to enter the tunnel 

• No vehicles more than 4.27m in height can use the tunnel. 

The new bylaw will come into effect 28 days after it is advertised in the NZ Gazette, 

which is likely to be next month.

LYTTELTON TUNNEL NEWS 

Restoring access 

via Evans Pass 

Work is underway to get earthquake-damaged Evans 

Pass re-opened by late 2017/early 2018. This will enable 

dangerous goods and over dimensional vehicles to 

be re-routed via Evans Pass, reducing the number of 

closures of Lyttelton Tunnel. 

Work began repairing the road and retaining walls and 

reducing the risk to road users of geotechnical hazards 

at the end of last year and is progressing well. 

This work, being undertaken by the Christchurch City 

Council, will cost $40 to $60 million. The NZ Transport 

Agency is funding 83 per cent of the cost, recognising 

the importance of Sumner Road/Evans Pass as a lifeline 

route and in getting freight to the Port of Lyttelton. 

Work underway includes scaling to remove loose 

surface materials; blasting to remove boulders and 

outcrops; and earthworks including the engineered 

removal of soil and rock to reshape the land. Bunds may 

also be required to contain any future rock fall. 

Keep up-to-date with this work by signing up for the 

Christchurch City Council’s newsletter by emailing: 

slcorridor@ccc.govt.nz 

MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME 

Lyttelton Tunnel celebrated its 50th birthday in 2014 and cosmetically the tunnel is 

beginning to show its age. 

Following the earthquakes, regular cleaning of the tunnel came second to keeping the 

road open in the early days, in particular to provide access for freight vehicles to the 

Port of Lyttelton. 

In the last two years, the NZ Transport Agency has reinstated its regular cleaning 

programme. To lessen the disruption for everyone, this is now going to be mainly on 

Thursday nights from 9pm to 2am. That’s so everyone knows when there are likely to 

be delays and to plan their journeys. What will impact on this timing, will be when bulk 

ships are in Port and unload their cargo around the clock. 

During the next couple of months, we will also be replacing the cat’s eye lights in the 

centre of the road. This will be done at night and reduce the tunnel to single lane. 

Vehicles will be escorted through during this time and there could be delays. These 

delays will be advertised. 

Towards the end of this year, the Transport Agency is looking to begin installing a 

deluge system which will activate sprinklers in the tunnel in the event of a fire. This 

work could result in the need for some lengthy closures but it is critical to improve 

safety within the tunnel. The Transport Agency is currently working through ways to 

minimise closures and keep everyone moving during this time. 

HOW DO YOU KEEP INFORMED? 

Closures of Lyttelton Tunnel can be frustrating for all users. 

The NZ Transport Agency does work to minimise the disruption 

and make it easier for everyone to get to where they need to 

go on time. 

Regular planned maintenance work is carried out throughout 

the week, usually on a Thursday night from 9pm to 2am when 

access is single-lane and vehicles are escorted through; other 

closures are limited to 10 minutes for dangerous goods vehicles 

to travel through the tunnel. 

To keep better informed about what is happening at Lyttelton Tunnel 

and when closures for maintenance are likely:

Time to check your 

personal flotation device 

BY GARY MANCH, NAVIGA- 

TIONAL SAFETY OFFICER, 

LYTTELTON 

I thought our boating season had 

come to an end, but the long fine 

weather spell continues. 

It’s great to see everyone out 

there making the most of the fantastic 

weather, long may it continue. 

But like most things, all 

good things come to an end, and 

I guess old man winter wants his 

bite of the cherry. 

One thing I want to mention is 

personal flotation devices or life 

jackets as they are commonly referred 

to. 

Many of us out there have the 

inflatable types, some are selfinflating. 

In our office our PFDs 

are sent away every year to be 

checked and made sure they 

are safe. Then each time we put 

them on we have a visible check 

for safety first. 

How many of you out there 

have had your PFD checked by 

an expert, or at least completed a 

self-check yourself? 

Here are some tips: 

Check the gas cylinder for corrosion. 

If it has corrosion, return 

the jacket to your local boat store 

and ask them to replace the gas 

cylinder. 

Make sure the cylinder is 

screwed in firmly, this should be 

Pirate’s Corner 

checked every time you use the 

PFD. 

Check the outer cover for 

holes, signs of wear or deterioration. 

If the PFD is in this state, 

chuck it out and get a new one. 

Orally inflate the bladder and 

leave it inflated for 24 hours. If 

the bladder deflates, get an authorised 

repair person at your local 

boat shop to repair or replace. 

In relation to wearing inflatable 

PFDs, here is some further 

advice: 

Adult inflatables should never 

be worn by children 12 years old 

or less. 

Always use a crotch strap. This 

prevents the PFD slipping over 

your head if you fall in the water. 

You don’t grow into a life 

jacket, they should fit comfortably. 

No more than three fingers 

should be able to be placed under 

shoulder straps, and the straps 

should be firmly fastened. 

Lift you or the child’s 

arms above the head, lift the 

shoulders of the jacket. If it 

raises above the chin the jacket 

is too large. 

Many years ago the helmet 

manufacturer Bell had a saying, 

“if you have a $10 head wear a 

$10 helmet.” 

This saying can be applied to 

life jackets and PFDs as well. 

Always buy safety standard approved 

PFD or life jacket fit for 

purpose, and maintain the piece 

of equipment to the manufacturers 

standard and advice given 

above. 

You never know, it may come 

in really handy. Oh and I forgot, 

it won’t save you from drowning 

if it’s still in the boat under the 

bow, think about that as well. 

This is my last Pirates Corner 

for a few weeks as I am taking 

a well-earned (well some would 

disagree) break, take care. 

Fundraising for van 

BY LIONS CLUB OF 

LYTTELTON SECRETARY 

MARY JAMIESON 

Hello again – With storms and 

earthquakes and tremors and 

strange weather patterns life is 

not boring here. 

I see bush fires are casting a 

thick fog over Sydney – brings 

back memories from when I 

lived there and it was either 

floods or bush fires. I feel 

so sorry for the folks in Fort 

McMurray, Alberta, Canada, 

who have lost so much. Let’s 

hope they pull together like the 

people in Christchurch did after 

the quakes. Lions International 

has sent them $US100,000 so 

hopefully that will help with the 

rebuild. 

A new community centre 

opened in Aranui last week – the 

Aranui Wainoni Community 

Centre will serve a great need 

in that area. Christchurch Lions 

used earthquake donations to 

help fund this project to the tune 

of $45,0000. Where there is a 

need there are Lions is a most 

appropriate motto. 

On the local Lyttelton scene 

the community van used by 

Community House and the 

Youth Centre died and could not 

be revived at the beginning of 

this year. 

This van is used not just by 

the youth for camps, outings and 

sporting activities but also by 

Community House to take the 

elderly shopping, to take them to 

medical appointments and hospital 

visits, delivery of meals to 

housebound to name just a few. 

The walking group also used 

the van to access areas around 

Christchurch. So you can see it 

is an essential part of the community. 

Community House is 

organising a fundraiser to buy 

a new or good, secondhand 10 

to 12 seater van. At the Festival 

of Lights in Lyttelton on June 

24 the Youth Centre, Rotary and 

Lions will be holding a bucket 

drop and we ask for a gold coin 

donation. Local businesses are 

promising help. 

We intend to make this a 

project for the community by 

the community. So Lyttelton do 

come on board. If you can offer 

any support at all please phone 

Christine Wilson at Community 

House on 328 7427 or 741 1427. 

Keep busy.

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON: Greg and Sam Boss 

suit up to brave the waves. 

FRASER WALKER-PEARCE 

When some sports teams 

were warm inside after their 

weekend’s matches were called 

off, the Sumner Longboarders 

braved the bitter wind and rain to 

run a competition. 

The club organised an event 

on Sunday morning in the hopes 

that it would be a clear, warm 

day with a good swell for surfing. 

But when the keen surfers 

gathered, they were met with a 

“howling” wind and constant 

rain on a day that registered just 

11 deg C as its high. 

Sumner Longboarders 

president Shane Austin said 

there was a great turnout for the 

FIGHTING THE COLD: Nick Begg placed fourth 

in the competition. 

Surfers brave weather 

event, in spite of the “atrocious” 

weather. 

“Even with the howling 

southerlies and snow on the 

mountains we had 14 people turn 

up, which was amazing. So we 

had about six heats before the 

finals,” he said. 

The brave surfers took to the 

waters of Scarborough for the 

monthly competition, which was 

organised by the club. 

Mr Austin said the surfers 

could deal with the driving 

rain, the “real killer” was the 

wind. 

“To tell you the truth the conditions 

were really good. The 

water is fresh but the wind was 

the real killer,” he said. 

First place went to club captain 

Luke O’Neill, then Mark Robberds, 

Russell ‘Rusty’ Johns, 

and Nick Begg rounded out the 

top four. 

Mr Austin said everyone enjoyed 

themselves, in spite of the 

weather, and the barbecue at the 

end of the competition was well 

worth the wait. 

“Overall it was really good, 

and the barbecue went well. The 

judges of the competition were 

club members, as well. We figure 

if you’re not competing, you’re 

judging,” he said. 

Mr Austin said the club is 

looking forward to the next 

event in Kaikoura on June 19. 

The “classic one wave” competition 

against Kaikoura Surf Lifesaving 

Club.

WINS, LOSSES FOR BAY 

Banks Peninsula Rugby 

Football Club won another 

game last weekend when 

they took on Prebbleton in 

“challenging” conditions. The 

team travelled to Prebbleton 

Reserve on Saturday and 

beat the hosts 23-14. George 

Masefield, Andrew Christie and 

Logan Burford scored the tries 

for Banks Peninsula. The team 

now have four wins from eight 

games. Meanwhile, Diamond 

Harbour lost to league leaders 

Southbridge, 25-12 on Saturday. 

Diamond Harbour have now 

recorded three wins and five 

losses from their first eight 

games. 

CARLTON THUMPS AVON 

Carlton Redcliffs Hockey Club 

recorded their third win of the 

CPL Men’s Championship 

season, beating Kendon Avon 

4-0. The two sides played at 

Marist Park at 5pm on Saturday. 

This weekend sees second 

placed Carlton take on sixth 

placed Marist at their home 

ground. The first whistle will 

sound at 12.30pm on Saturday. 

SUMNER DCL SHIELD LOSS 

After winning the DCL Shield 

for the first time against High 

School Old Boys last weekend, 

Sumner were beaten by 

neighbours Linwood 16-3. The 

score at half time was 3-3 but 

with the help of a converted try 

and two more penalty kicks, 

the home side took the game. 

This means Sumner has lost the 

shield after having won it just 

seven days before.

Taking gourmet duck to the next level 


Hunters were not the only ones 

who had been looking forward 

to duck shooting season. 

Chefs from an Akaroa and 

three Christchurch restaurants 

have been working to come up 

with signature duck dishes to 

perfectly compliment the 2013 

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir. 

It is part of the sixth Cloudy 

Bay Pinot and Duck Tasting 

Trail, which launched in 

Christchurch on May 6 to tie 

in with the beginning of duck 

hunting season. 

The specialist dishes will be 

served until the end of May. 

Chefs from Empire and 

Baretta, on St Asaph St, 

Merivale’s JDV and The Little 

Bistro in Akaroa, have each 

experimented and come up with 

dishes to perfectly compliment 

the pinot noir. 

Baretta will serve an entrée 

of confit duck leg, herb spatzle, 

duck liver parfait, compressed 

pear, orange and cress for $33. 

Empire will have the option of 

saikyo miso duck breast, candied 

kumara, braised daikon, goji 

berries and yuzu pinot sauce for 

$35. 

The Little Bistro has gone for 

a French style dish of braised 

duck leg crepes, anise poached 

blueberries, and parfait jus for 

$30, while JDV will serve confit 

duck leg, quince, celeriac, white 

bean cassoulet and orange jus for 

$55. 

All dishes have a glass of 2013 

Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir included 

in the price. Restaurants from 

across the country are taking 

part in this year’s trail. 

Cloudy Bay senior brand 

manager Ali Campbell the idea 

was all about eating seasonally 

which paired well with the 

beginning of duck hunting 

season. 

The trail allowed people to 

go along to any of the four 

Christchurch restaurants to 

try duck, which they may not 

have tried before, and the wine 

together, she said. 

Cloudy Bay Estate director 

Ian Morden said the grapes 

ON OFFER: Empire head chef Tadayuki Kuroiwa plating up the confit duck leg, herb spatzle, duck liver parfait, compressed pear, orange and 

cress, which will be served at Baretta with Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir. 

PHOTOS: JOSEPH JOHNSON 

for the pinot noir were grown 

in the Southern Valleys in 

Marlborough, in clay based soil, 

and paired perfectly with duck. 

“With meat as gamey as duck, 

it is important to have a wine 

that has a soft touch of acid to 

cut through the richness and 

strong enough flavours that do 

not get lost in its earthy gusto.” 

•As part of the trail, people 

are invited to share their 

experience on Facebook to be 

in to win a restaurant voucher 

to the value of $200 for any 

participating restaurant in 

their region. They can upload 

a photo of their favourite duck 

dish to Facebook and tag it 

with #pinotandducknz and 

#cloudybaynz to go in the draw. 

TASTY: Chefs Shawn Cassidy and Tadayuki Kuroiwa serve up the 

confit duck dish. 

PERFECT MATCH: Empire will be serving up a saikyo miso duck 

breast dish (left), matched with a glass of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir 

throughout May.

DEALER FINANCE LIMITED 

Dealer Finance Limited and the Commerce Commission have entered into a settlement agreement relating to 

overcharged interest on loans. This resulted from Dealer Finance not crediting part repayments made by borrowers 

against the unpaid balance of the loan as soon as practicable, and as a consequence, overcharging interest to the 

borrower. 

If you purchased a vehicle through one of the car dealers listed below between April 2005 and April 2015, which was 

financed through Dealer Finance, you may be entitled to a refund of any overcharged interest, together with a 5% 

uplift payment. 

Dealer Finance has recently sent notification to all affected clients by mail. If you have not received this notification 

please contact Dealer Finance by email on enquiries@dfl.co.nz to find out whether you are entitled to a refund. 

Please include your full name, current and previous addresses, and if known, the car dealer you purchased your car 

through and the vehicle registration number. 

PLEASE NOTE - NO contact is required from you: 

• if you still have a current open loan(s) with Dealer Finance; or 

• if you have previously repaid a loan(s) with Dealer Finance (taken out between above dates) but have a current 

loan(s) with Dealer Finance, 

as we will be crediting your open loan or we have made or are in the process of making appropriate internal 

adjustments. 

A copy of the settlement agreement can be found on www.comcom.govt.nz
