Safety fence feedback sought 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

RESIDENTS SAY new safety 

fencing to keep people out of 

hazardous areas in parts of 

Sumner and Redcliffs would be 

too high and ugly. 

The city council wants to 

install 2m high safety fences 

along the cliff sides of Main Rd 

at Moa Bone Point, Shag Rock 

Reserve and Wakefield Ave, from 

Nayland to Paisley Sts. 

It is looking at two different 

options for the fences – mesh 

fencing, or a pool-style fence. 

But residents say 2m is too tall, 

and want them lowered to 1.2m. 

Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association member 

Darrell Latham said residents 

believed a 2m mesh fence along 

Main Rd at Shag Rock Reserve 

was “totally inappropriate”. 

“Our feeling is that a 1.2m 

fence along the Shag Rock 

Reserve section would be less 

visually intrusive and our 

preference is for one which is not 

of mesh construction.” 

He said residents believed 1.2m 

high fences would be sufficient. 

“Also from our perspective due 

to the proximity to, and visibility 

from the Coastal Pathway, it is 

very important that the fence 

or barrier be aesthetically 

pleasing and in keeping with 

the character and cultural 

importance of the area.” 

The city council says it is its 

responsibility to make sure the 

fencing is safe, and it wanted 

residents’ feedback on what 

option they preferred. 

The fences could not be 

easily climbed, and had to be 

transparent. 

Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association secretary Pat 

McIntosh said a 2m high fence 

“seems excessive in relation to 

the risk”. 

Residents have until Monday 

to make submissions on the two 

options. 

The feedback would be 

analysed by the city council 

project team, which would then 

make a decision on what type 

would be used. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you 

think new safety fences 

to be installed on parts of 

Main Rd and Wakefield Ave 

will be too tall? Would you 

prefer mesh or pool style 

fencing? Email your views

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK News.........................3,4,5 & 9 

THE TALK of the week has 

been Education Minister Hekia 

Parata’s announcement that 

Redcliffs School would remain 

open. Congratulations to those 

who worked so hard to ensure this 

outcome. We invited principal 

Rose McInerney to write about the 

big trip to Wellington to hear the 

news on page 6. 

Looks like the alternative site is 

now going to be the talking point. 

We would like to get your thoughts 

on this so please do send in a letter 

to the editor. 

Sumner residents are excited 

they have found a temporary home 

for their village green and skate 

ramp. Find out where on page 4. 

Many of you will recognise 

Juliet Neill, whether it was at the 

Lyttelton Information Centre, or 

watching her perform with her 

hand-made puppets. We talk to

New business premises opens 

HOME: Casual and Country co-owner Jenny Turnbull says the store and its cafe, ten27, have 

been busy since fully reopening. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 


AFTER FIVE years, 

Ferrymead’s Casual and 

Country and cafe ten27, is 

fully operating out of its new 

premises just in time for its 25th 

birthday. 

Owners Jenny and John Turnbull 

set up the Ferry Rd homewares 

store in August 1992. 

The cafe was set up in 2002. 

But when the February 22, 

2011, earthquake struck, both 

the cafe and store were forced 

out of the building due to earthquake 

damage. 

The store began operating out 

of the old Seventh Wave building 

next to Ferrymead Bridge, 

while Quake Cafe operated out 

of a portacom on the original 

site, and then the neighbouring 

one. 

Mrs Turnbull said the store 

reopened in January, while 

ten27 opened its doors last 

month. 

“Right from the first day we’ve 

been completely slammed,” she 

said. “It’s certainly a huge relief, 

it’s everything we’ve hoped for 

and more.” 

She said it was always the plan 

to rebuild on the original site. 

“It has been enormously difficult 

and enormously challenging 

and not something you’re 

choosing to do.” 

But like other Christchurch 

businesses, they had no choice, 

she said. 

They either left the site empty, 

or they rebuilt on it. 

“But it’s an opportunity to 

build something which is different 

then what we’ve had before 

and in many ways better.” 

The cafe and store now have 

separate entrances, which 

means the cafe can stay open 

for dinners from Wednesday to 

Sunday, she said. 

The previous menu was 

predominantly made up of 

cabinet food, however, it now 

had breakfast, lunch and dinner 

food prepared in the kitchen. 

In Brief 

SUMNER FACILITY NAME 

FAVOURITES 

There are two frontrunner 

names for Sumner’s new community 

centre, library and 

museum. City council acting 

head of Libraries and Information 

Pat Street said Tuawera: 

Sumner Centre and Matuku 

Takotako: Sumner Centre, were 

the “frontrunners”. Because the 

names had historic significance 

within the area, the city council 

would work with Mana Whenua 

to gather a greater understanding 

of the story behind them, she 

said. 

GUNSHOT CONCERN 

Police were called to Flinders 

Rd, Heathcote Valley, on Saturday 

after receiving reports of 

gunshots in the area. A police 

spokeswoman said the call came 

at about 7.20pm, with the shots 

possibly coming from a park off 

Bridle Path Rd. However, she 

said that police did not locate 

anything or anyone of concern 

in the area. 

NEW DEPUTY FOR BOARD 

Alexandra Davids will be deputy 

chairwoman of the Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board until 

October’s local body elections. 

Ms Davids will replace former 

deputy Islay McLeod, who has 

left her role on the board to 

move back to Dunedin.

Village green on the move Plans for museum 

now funded 

SUMNER RESIDENTS have 

found a new temporary home 

for their village green and skate 

ramp. 

They will move to the former 

Ruptured Duck Pizzeria and 

Bar site until a more permanent 

solution can be found. 

A working bee will be held 

on Saturday to help move the 

ramp and other items from the 

green to their new Wakefield 

Ave home. 

The village green was set up 

after the former Sumner Community 

Centre, on the corner of 

Wakefield Ave and Nayland St, 

was demolished due to earthquake 

damage. 

The city council will begin rebuilding 

the facility, which will 

include a community centre, 

library and museum, on the site 

next month. 

Residents have been working 

with the city council and Land 

Information New Zealand to try 

and secure part of the former 

Marine Tavern site for a village 

green. 

Sumner Community Residents’ 

Association community 

development and events manager 

Liz Kerslake said it was 

great to have found a temporary 

home. 

NEW HOME: Sumner residents mark out where the skate 

ramp will go at its new temporary home on Wakefield Ave. 

“The village green is the heart 

of the community. It’s a great 

bumping space.” 

She said residents were very 

supportive of trying to secure 

part of the Marine Tavern site 

for permanent use, but this was 

a temporary fix. 

Coffee Culture manager Jenny 

Krex said the ramp brought life 

back into the village. 

“I just love seeing so many 

people enjoying the centre of 

the village as it gives the opportunity 

for the old and young 

– and all those in between – to 

interact. It brings life back to the 

village”. 

A final skate night, with 

fish ’n’ chips and hot chocolate 

will be held at the current 

village green tomorrow from 

5.30pm, before it moves on the 

weekend.

AKAROA MUSEUM now has 

the money it needs to complete 

the refurbishment and fit-out of 

its exhibition spaces. 

The Rue Lavaud museum 

was closed in June 2012 after a 

post-earthquake engineering 

investigation revealed issues 

with the structural strength of 

the building. 

But a year later, part of the 

building was allowed to re-open. 

Since then the museum, which 

attracts about 25,000 visitors a 

year, has had to make do with 30 

sq m of exhibition space. 

The limited space meant it 

could only display a fraction of 

its collection, which includes 

about 20,000 objects relating to 

the history of Akaroa and Banks 

Peninsula. 

Repairs have now been 

completed, and the city council 

has allocated $250,000 to the 

museum to fit-out the remaining 

270 sq m of exhibition space. 

Akaroa Museum director 

Lynda Wallace said the money 

meant the museum could finally 

implement the design plans it 

had for its three large galleries. 

“It means we will be able to 

showcase more of the wonderful 

DESIGN: Akaroa Museum

space after a $250,000 grant 

from the city council. 

objects we have and tell more 

stories about Akaroa and Banks 

Peninsula’s history,’’ Ms Wallace 

said. 

“We’re really looking forward 

to sharing more of the collection 

with visitors and our community.’’ 

Ms Wallace said the fit-out of 

the exhibition spaces would be 

done progressively over the next 

year with the aim of having all 

the work completed by this time 

next year. 

Akaroa-Wairewa Community 

Board chairwoman Pam Richardson 

said it was fantastic news 

and would come as a big relief to 

the community.

Bid to improve tunnel air 

New monitoring 

equipment 

being installed 


LYTTELTON TUNNEL is 

having new equipment installed 

to monitor air quality, after 

more trucks began using it 

following the earthquakes. 

New Zealand Transport 

Agency maintenance contract 

manager Barry Stratton said the 

current air monitoring equipment 

only monitored carbon 

monoxide levels. 

The new equipment would 

also monitor nitrogen dioxide 

levels in the tunnel, he said. 

It comes after concerns were 

raised about more trucks having 

to use the tunnel following the 

February 2011 earthquake because 

of the closure of Sumner 

Rd. 

“This was more generated 

from the dust/ particulate in the 

tunnel as a result of all the extra 

truckloads of demolition material 

since the earthquakes. The 

purpose of the new equipment 

is to improve the monitoring

within the tunnel as part of our 

national guidelines for transport 

agency-managed tunnels,” Mr 

Stratton said. 

Cleaning the tunnel has had 

to increase from once a month, 

to three times a week, following 

the quakes, he said. 

It has also led to the Lyttelton 

Tunnel Bylaw changing, which 

will make it mandatory for all 

trucks with loose bulk loads to 

be covered. 

It is expected to come into 

force this month. 

The work has meant the 

tunnel has been restricted to 

one lane, between 9pm and 

6am for four days last week, and 

continues to be restricted until 

Friday. 

Other work had included 

replacing the centre line studs, 

and cleaning and replacing tunnel 

lights. 

Environment Canterbury has 

been monitoring air quality 

through a station on the corner 

of Norwich Quay and Canterbury 

St since January. 

Mr Stratton said ECan was 

interested to see the NZTA’s 

results.

MOBILITY PARK FOR SCHOOL 

Heathcote Valley School will get 

a mobility park outside, after 

concerns were raised that there 

were none at the school. The park 

will be installed outside the school 

entrance on Bridle Path Rd. The 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board approved the change at its 

meeting last week.

our Local Views 

School’s long wait over 

Redcliffs 

School 

principal 

Rose 

McInerney 

talks 

about how 

it felt to 

hear Education Minister 

Hekia Parata announce 

the school would remain 

open 

It’s quite hard to explain the 

feelings of an interminable 

wait that was finally coming to 

an end. 

The Redcliffs board of 

trustees had now had quite a 

few meetings with Minister 

Hekia Parata to meaningfully 

engage on the importance of 

our school remaining open but 

this was to be the mother of all 

meetings. 

So much preparation had 

gone into what this day would 

reveal and there was a strong 

weight of responsibility in my 

heart and I’m certain in the 

hearts of those with me. 

Half of the board – Kent 

France, Mark Robberds, Steph 

Grieve and I met at the airport 

bright and early and ready to 

go. We faced the very interested 

media with our ongoing 

positive approach to how well 

we had problem solved the 

Minister’s concerns and felt 

hopeful for a change in decision 

for the Redcliffs School 

community. This issue had 

now reached out to all New 

Zealanders and we knew many 

had a deep interest in what 

Thursday’s result would be. 

We travelled to Wellington 

leaving our children in the 

confident and professional 

hands of our staff and the other 

half of the board of trustees. 

They carried on their school 

day as normally as they possibly 

could, while we boarded 

our flight with the promise of 

any news coming straight to 

them the minute that we had 

it. So much invested in this 

process and so many people 

willing us to have good news 

for our community’s future. 

On arrival in Wellington 

we taxied to Parliament, had 

a quick coffee, and again were 

met by more media going in to 

the Beehive. 

We announced our arrival 

at reception and sat down to 

have our last chat about our 

approach for the two potential 

outcomes. So much time 

had been given to this final 

submission and it was truly 

crunch time. 

Before long we were welcomed 

into the Minister’s 

office with her large team of 

advisers and we waited for 

Minister Parata’s response 

with baited breath. 

While we had been banking 

on a positive decision when it 

actually came through there 

were enormous hugs both in 

Wellington and soon after in 

Christchurch. 

A united team of problem 

solving, invested, tenacious, 

determined individuals had 

come together and saved our 

Redcliffs School from closure. 

A feeling I will never forget 

and so proud to share in that 

piece of very important history.

think moving Redcliffs 

School to Barnett Park 

would work? Email

rutherford@starmedia.kiwi 

Massive effort 

pays off 

Green MP 

Eugenie 

Sage says the 

Redcliffs School 

decision was 

great news 

Congratulations 

to everyone in the 

Redcliffs School community for the 

sustained and successful advocacy 

to keep Redcliffs School as a local 

school. Standing up for what you 

believe in helps create change in 

politics. 

Overturning Education Minister 

Hekia Parata’s interim decision last 

November that Redcliffs School 

would close by the end of this year 

has taken a massive effort. It has 

involved inspired leadership from 

the school board of trustees, a determined 

effort by parents, energy 

from students and creative engagement 

with the media and the wider 

community. 

The Minister’s decision will 

ensure that Redcliffs School, either 

on the Main Rd site or another site 

such as Barnett Park, remains the 

hub of its community. 

Elsewhere in education, the news 

has been less welcome. In a surprise 

Budget move, the Government decided 

to freeze funding for schools’ 

operational grants. 

This means there will be more 

pressure on parents to “donate” 

even more for their children’s education. 

This puts quality education 

under strain and erodes the right to 

a free education. 

Operational funding goes into 

essentials such as heating, computers 

for students, learning support, 

property maintenance, and relief 

teachers. 

We need regular funding increases 

to keep up with increased 

costs. Between 2010 and 2014 

parents forked out $791.3 million to 

subsidise their children’s education 

with donations. 

Redcliffs School Fair is one of 

the largest and most successful in 

Christchurch in raising funds to 

help students learn. Lower decile 

schools will suffer the most, as 

their ability to fundraise is more 

constrained. 

As well as protecting the right of 

students to be able to attend their 

local neighbourhood school, we 

need to ensure that funding for 

education keeps up with inflation.

Bay Harbour News asked its 

readers what they thought of 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board members being paid 

half of what city board 

members will be paid following 

October’s elections 

Jeremy Agar – I was on the 

Lyttelton-Mt Herbert Community 

Board in 2006 when we merged with 

Christchurch and our pay was set at 

a much lower level than that of our 

colleagues in the city. 

The then chair of the Remuneration 

Authority, whose name I have forgotten, 

deigned to meet us. Then, as now, 

the word was that the decision was 

based on a ‘formula’ to do with population, 

but in spite of our repeated 

attempts to get him to elaborate, he 

was unable to advance a single rationale 

in support of his ‘formula’. He did 

not try to hide his boredom. 

It needs to be remembered that the 

Remuneration Authority used to be 

known as the Higher Salaries Commission, 

one of the designers of the 

managerial culture which thinks that 

town clerks and top executives need 

to be paid ridiculously large sums. 

They’re not keen on lower salaries, 

which they associate with obsolete 

notions like local democracy. 

Prue Kennard – I just want to 

add my voice to the plea for our 

Banks Peninsula Community Board 

members to receive exactly the same 

remuneration as all the others regardless 

of the population involved. 

Their work is basically the same 

and what’s more, their travel time 

Proudly 

supported by 

must be much higher. It seems an insulting 

and ridiculous move to reduce 

their pay by this amount. 

Charlotte Orr – Reading the local 

body pay ‘ludicrous’ article, I totally 

agree with the title. Even though I 

grew up in Lyttelton, I am still anti 

bias to contrary. 

I strongly agree with the movement 

that the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board members should definitely 

be paid the same as the city boards. 

I can’t work out in my head how 

smaller the Banks Peninsula area is 

in comparison to Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote. 

But I can imagine it covers Lyttelton, 

Diamond Harbour, Governors 

Bay, Cass Bay and I’m sure to have 

missed some. 

However, I believe the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board should get 

paid parity with the city boards. 

Port Hills Labour MP Ruth 

Dyson responds to the 

announcement that Redcliffs 

School would remain open: 

How fantastic is this news! I am 

just so proud of the board, the staff, 

the pupils and the community with 

the way that they have professionally 

and competently answered every 

question to the Minister’s satisfaction. 

I really look forward to this saga 

closing and Redcliffs getting its 

school back again. I understand that 

the pupils were raising the classroom 

roofs with their cheering! They deserve 

to be happy and this news will 

certainly make them happy!

Ensure your safety: Be 

prepared on the water 

• BY GARY MANCH, 

NAVIGATIONAL SAFETY 

OFFICER, LYTTELTON 

I JUST spent a week at home 

feeling sorry for myself with a 

serious drop of man flu. 

Having had the flu 

injection a week previously, 

you sometimes have to 

wonder, however, my GP did 

say it was bad luck, and not 

the flu injection that was the 

cause of my demise. 

It’s funny though, we try 

hard to look after ourselves 

and get this injection to 

prevent this, and take these 

pills to prevent that, and we 

still can get sick. 

And, yes, some of you can 

see where I am going with 

this, the same applies to our 

cars, boats, and motor-cycles, 

no matter how well prepared 

we are, sometimes things fail. 

In my case, the solution 

was easy, feel sorry for myself, 

keep warm and hydrated and 

sit the week out so I did not 

infect the rest of Canterbury. 

Yes, it was that bad believe 

me, man flu is the worst. 

However, if we are on the 

water and in spite of our 

Pirate’s Corner 

best preparations we end up 

breaking down. And while I 

am generally talking about 

powerboats, non-powered 

vessels can also have issues. 

THe first thing is before 

going out make sure we 

have our two forms of 

communication, ideally a 

VHF radio and cellphone, 

going a step further, flares 

and a torch, a personal 

locater beacon. All are there 

to ensure your safety. 

Having broken down, and 

ensuring that we are safe, if 

you are on vessel that is 6m 

or less then you will already 

have your lifejacket on. 

If you are on one that is 

over 6m then the first thing 

we need to do is put our 

lifejackets on then we need 

to assess how we are going to 

get back to shore. If you are 

close enough, then you may 

be able to use your alternative 

propulsion, be it the oars or 

auxiliary motor. 

If this is not possible, use 

your cell phone to call one 

of your boating mates or 

the VHF radio and call for 

assistance. 

Hopefully, another boatie 

will be nearby and they may 

be able give you a tow. If you 

are a coastguard member you 

can call them and they will 

assist for no charge. 

THere may be a charge if 

you are not a member. So 

not only is it worthwhile 

supporting the Coastguard, 

for a small fee you have 

something similar to the 

Automobile Association. 

Well worth considering. 

THat’s it from me this week, 

stay warm and safe.

Dangers of plastic bags highlighted 

PEOPLE WHO went to 

Lyttelton Farmers’ Market on 

Saturday were reminded of the 

dangers plastic bags have on 

the environment. 

Members of the Plastic Bag 

Free Lyttelton group were at 

the market with cloth bags, 

information, and stickers to remind 

people to be wary when 

using plastic bags. 

While it appeared lighthearted, 

the message was 

deadly serious, and illustrated 

by a fish puppet with a plastic 

bag stuck in its gullet. 

Primary school pupils sung 

anti-waste songs, and spot 

prizes were donated by Waste 

Matters, Lyttelton’s wastebusting 

team. 

Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton 

co-ordinator Juliet Neill said 

the number of responsible 

shoppers using re-usable bags 

was growing. 

“Plastic Shopping Bag Free 

Lyttelton has been going for a 

year now, with its aim being 

to eliminate plastic shopping 

bags from the town. Since its 

inception, the local branch of 

the vege co-op has partially 

converted to using cloth bags 

and the local supermarket has 

converted to a more biodegradable 

form of bag.” 

She said more people were 

bringing their own cloth bags 

to the market, and the group 

would like all retailers to convert 

to reusable bags. 

“We’d love to see the whole 

of Christchurch, and indeed 

the whole of New Zealand, 

convert to sustainable packaging, 

but we believe that starting 

small with Lyttelton is a great 

beginning. Plastic in our 

oceans and in our landfills is a 

hideous problem, but we must 

tackle the problem in a positive 

manner and keep smiling.”

WELL DONE: Heathcote Valley pupil Sophia Clark was presented with her Sir Peter Blake 

Young Leader Award on Friday in front of her grand-mother Bev Martin (left), father Andy, 

mother Sue and other grand-mother, Jackie Clark. 

Young leader recognised 

A HEATHCOTE Valley School 

pupil has been recognised for 

her leadership qualities. 

Sophia Clark, 8, was presented 

with a Sir Peter Blake Young 

Leader Award on Friday. 

The young leader awards, in 

association with Westpac, acknowledge 

young people whose 

outstanding leadership uplifts 

the school community. 

The head girl got her award 

for being caring, respectful, 

positive, empathetic and hard 

working. 

She organised a fundraiser 

for Vanuatu after it was hit by 

Cyclone Pam. 

Sophia also won the school’s 

senior speech competition, 

which was about Syrian refugees 

and why we should be doing 

more. 

Sir Peter Blake Trust chief 

executive Shelley Campbell said 

Sir Peter showed that with great 

leadership, extraordinary things 

could be achieved. 

“This award aims to nurture 

and celebrate leadership in our 

young people,” she said. 

“The qualities these children 

display – humility, humour, 

inclusiveness, positivity and a 

team approach – were all shown 

by Sir Peter himself.” 

Sophia would receive a prize 

pack, certificate and Sir Peter 

Blake Medal. 

Each young leader was nominated 

by either their class or a 

teacher. 

BILINGUAL: Amiria and Matakaea Tikao helped supermarket 

customers celebrate Maori Language Week. 

Pupils teach Te Reo 

TWO SISTERS were the voices 

behind a supermarket initiative 

to celebrate Maori Language 

Week. 

Amiria Tikao, 12, and her 

younger sister Matakaea, 9, 

had their voices professionally 

recorded in a sound studio to 

help SuperValue and FreshChoice 

customers better understand the 

Maori language. 

The sisters were recorded pronouncing 

items such as apples, 

mushrooms, fish, milk, meat, 

kiwifruit and cheese, along with 

many others. 

Amiria said it was a fun project 

to be involved with. 

“It was really cool. It took about 

45mins, so not very long . . . we 

got most of the words first time, 

which was good,” she said. 

Local SuperValue and Fresh- 

Choice supermarkets then put 

posters up around their stores, 

with a QR code that customers 

could scan with their cell phone. 

The code led to a website where 

they could hear the two pupils 

correctly pronounce the word. 

Amiria said she had not yet 

tested out the posters, but she 

would think about going in later. 

SuperValue and FreshChoice 

brands manager Liz de Lange 

said that when the campaign was 

run last year, the QR codes were 

used thousands of times.

Our People 

Juliet Neill 

Having fun with puppets but with 

Juliet Neill is the co-ordinator of Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton, which aims to 

raise awareness on the impacts the bags have on the environment. Bridget 

Rutherford spoke to her about how it all began, moving to Lyttelton, and 

being a puppeteer 

CLEVER: Juliet Neill wrote and performed The Pirates of Corsair 

Bay in 2012. 

Juliet, Plastic Bag Free 

Lyttelton has begun to take off, 

can you fill me in on how it all 

started and why? 

It was about a year ago and 

Denise Roche, a Green Party 

politician, was spearheading a 

campaign on Plastic Bag Free 

New Zealand. She was going 

around doing talks and organising 

a petition and letters to 

Parliament and that sort of thing. 

I organised for her to come and 

speak at Lyttelton Top Club and 

we got a reasonably good turnout 

and lots of enthusiasm. Is not a 

Green Party initiative but that 

was just what kicked it off. 

So the group makes bags and 

people can buy them to use for 

their shopping? 

Yes, we had them at the farmers’ 

market, and we just ask for koha 

to cover our costs. They are all 

made out of end of line fabrics, 

so we don’t have to go out and 

buy stuff, but there are costs of 

running a campaign. SuperValue 

helps us out. They have the bags 

there all the time, and whatever 

they make they just give back 

to the campaign. They have also 

converted to using biodegradable 

bags, instead of using straight 

plastic bags. We label the bags 

and put information about the 

campaign inside them. We’ve 

also got the vege co-op partially 

converted to cloth bags too. 

And are a lot of people starting 

to jump on board? 

It’s just recently grown. It 

started with a mad rush of 

enthusiasm but when people 

see what we’re doing they have 

supported us. 

I remember there was a Lyttelton 

campaign to stop using coffee 

cups because they were not 

recyclable, did you have much to 

do with that? 

That was Waste Matters. We do 

tie in with them, they are great. 

It’s a small community so people 

get involved. 

Speaking of small communities, 

when did you move to 

Lyttelton? 

I’ve been living here since 1995. 

I was living in Christchurch and 

I was looking for a place to live. I 

didn’t mean to buy here, but I was 

brought up on Otago Peninsula, 

and it felt like home. Sea and hills 

are very good for the soul. 

What is it about Lyttelton that 

you love? 

It’s the community and the 

scenery. It’s a good place living 

on your own, you walk down the 

street and bump into people you 

know and have a conversation. It’s 

the sort of place you can actually 

get initiatives going off your own 

bat. There’s more freedom. 

And where on the Otago Peninsula 

did you grow up? 

Macandrew Bay. We came out 

from Northern Ireland when I 

was five. We had two years in 

Christchurch and then lived 

down there from when I was 

seven-years-old. My father had 

been in the army, and there was 

a family business in Dunedin 

which was ailing, and he moved 

from the army to do that.

environmental issues in mind 

How does Dunedin stack up 

against Lyttelton? 

I love Dunedin, through 

circumstances I ended up in 

Christchurch. I would have 

moved back to Dunedin after the 

earthquakes if it weren’t for my 

lovely friends and my daughter. 

It’s those long term connections 

that make the difference. 

And I hear you were a teacher, 

what did you teach? 

I was a teacher of drama, but I 

finished that in early 2000s. I’m 

also a puppeteer. I still perform 

as a puppeteer, and until recently 

I wrote murder mystery parties. 

I’m just finding more time now 

to do my own creative thing I 

do a bit of art work, as well as 

getting involved in environmental 

issues, which I think are very 

important. 

How did you get into puppeteering? 

It was when I was first teaching, 

primary teaching, and then I had 

done amateur theatre. I’d made 

puppets with the kids and then 

after adopting a daughter, I began 

developing shows, going around 

schools and performing them 

around Canterbury. Then life 

took other turns then I got back 

into it in 2000s. I wrote the puppet 

shows and performed them. 

BAG LADIES: Juliet Neill and her puppet ‘Daphne’ raising awareness for Plastic Bag Free 

Lyttelton at the farmers’ market. (Right)Juliet likes to get political with her puppets. This is Roger 

Sutton and Gerry Brownlee who were part of a post-earthquake show about insurance battles. 

How do you decide what the 

puppets will look like? 

My puppets evolve. The show 

I’m doing at the moment is based 

on Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit so 

I’ve based the puppets on those 

characters. A couple of weeks 

ago I organised a day of puppetry 

performing on the first day of the 

Lyttelton Festival of Lights. 

And do you keep all of the 

puppets that you make? 

I’ve got boxes of them in my 

garage, heaps of them! I’ve made 

some on commission, caricatures 

of some people. I did work with 

community house and made the 

first giant puppet that we use for 

the festival of lights. There’s also 

a giant fish, a phoenix bird that 

rose from the rubble after the 

earthquakes and there’s also a 

huge character which is a sort of 

volcano thing. I used to run mask 

workshops for the festival parade, 

because I used to organise the parade 

for about six or seven years, 

but I stopped that about three 

years ago. 

Wow, that must have taken a 

lot of organising. 

You just learn by trial and error, 

but it was a lot of work. 

And what do you like to do in 

your spare time? 

I do a bit of painting, gardening, 

and I also like singing. 

And does your daughter live 

in Lyttelton too? 

Yes she lives in Lyttelton. She is 

a bit of an artist, and she managed 

Lyttelton Coffee Company. 

So what is your ultimate goal 

for Plastic Bag Free Lyttelton? 

Well wouldn’t it be lovely if 

the whole of New Zealand went 

plastic bag free? It is such a huge 

environmental problem. It would 

be good if people began to take 

global warming seriously as well. 

Both of these things come down 

to economics, as well as trying to 

make the world a better place. 

What do you think it was 

that made you more concerned 

about environmental issues? 

I don’t know. My parents had 

a love of the land and animals. 

My father changed from being 

a National party voter to being 

quite an environmentalist, and 

he joined Greenpeace in his later 

years. And I guess just from 

reading and life experiences. 

So you were out and about at 

Lyttelton Farmers’ Market on 

Saturday with the Plastic Bag 

Free campaign? 

We were just talking to people 

in the street and giving information. 

A lot of people are right 

behind it. There’s been a huge 

uptake of people using reusable 

bags at the market now. After 

local body elections it would be 

nice to establish a dialogue with 

the council about it. 

And what else have you been 

involved with during your time 

in Lyttelton? 

I used to do voluntary work at 

the Lyttelton Information Centre 

for three or four years. And we 

have a tree planting initiative at 

Urumau Reserve. I’ve sort of just 

this year got involved with planting 

and watering.

community-wide book swap and a dress-up parade. Not 

only did the tamariki enjoy dressing up, but staff also went all 

out to make the day a memorable one. 

CELEBRATION: Visiting author Bill Nagelkerke (above) 

entertained with his stories and magic tricks. Diamond Harbour 

staff (below) dressed up as part of the school’s book week. 

Pupils on 

recycling 

adventure 

DIAMOND Harbour’s Kotuku 

class went on an adventure to 

learn about recycling, waste 

and what to do with unwanted 

items. 

Pupils went to the recycling 

centre, EcoDrop, on Parkhouse 

Rd to see what happens to 

recycling after it is collected. 

After that, they drove around 

EcoDrop to see the different 

types of things people dropped 

off. 

This included car batteries, 

furniture, household chemicals 

and scrap steel such as washing 

machines. 

The next stop was the Eco- 

Shop, where the group bought 

all the necessary items they 

would need for a future flat, 

with a $500 budget. 

Next, the group headed to 

Fendalton Open-air School to 

have a look at its sound garden, 

which was made out of unwanted 

materials. 

The sound garden contained 

instruments made out of old 

violins, bamboo sticks, tin 

cans, pots and pans. The pupils 

could make noises with the 

instruments. 

They then headed to the Gap 

Filler sound garden on Peterborough 

St. The pupils went 

home with lots of inspiration to 

make their own sound gardens. 

Final countdown for SCIRT programme 

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls 

is now 91% complete and will finish in December. 

Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground 

pipe networks. 

SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between 

Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job 

below ground.

Programme funded by


Redcliffs School pupils learned how to 

be safe around large trucks. The school 

got a visit from the New Zealand Trucking 

Association last week. Pupils got to climb 

into the big trucks and learn about air 

turbulence and blind spots for the drivers. 

Principal Rose McInerney said it was a really 

important lesson for the pupils, as there 

were a lot of trucks in the area.

Dreaming of a plastic bag-free world 

GOVERNORS BAY School 

pupils won a competition aimed 

at decreasing the use of plastic 

shopping bags. 

The school made cloth bags from 

recycled fabric to be used as alternatives 

to single use plastic bags. 

The competition was organised 

by Plastic Bag-Free Christchurch 

to mark International Plastic Bag- 

Free Day on July 3. 

The school’s 66 pupils made 

111 bags, some from singlets and 

T-shirts. 

One pupil made eight bags. 

Governors Bay won a prize of 

$100 and received a certificate. 

World-wide, about a trillion single 

use plastic bags are produced 

every year, with only one to three 

per cent recycled. 

Plastic bags are used for a short 

period of time before they are 

discarded. 

They often end up in the ocean, 

affecting marine life.

Travel 

Take a star-studded tour of 

• By Mike Yardley 

HOLLYWOOD DRIPS with 

international glamour. 

But how can you break through 

the Tinsel Town mystique and 

bask in the stardust? 

On my most recent visit, I set 

myself the mission of staking 

out some old-school glamour, 

celeb-heavy haunts and trending 

hotspots. 

All roads lead to the Hollywood 

Strip, or “the boulevard of broken 

dreams”, as my Red Line walking 

tour guide, Michael, preferred to 

call it. 

Red Line’s Behind the Scenes 

tour has become part of Hollywood 

folklore, expertly narrated 

and spiriting you into many 

storied nooks and crannies, that 

most tourists miss. www.redlinetours.com/la 

After admiring some of the 

legendary names lining Hollywood 

Boulevard’s Walk of Fame, 

Michael ushered us in what I 

think is the most unsung vestige 

of Hollywood glam: the Egyptian 

Theatre. 

Extensively restored and earthquake 

re-strengthened in recent 

years, this picture palace was the 

birthplace of the movie premiere 

and the movie star. 

Built by Sid Grauman in 1922, 

GLAM: You never know who you will bump into in the lobby of the Redbury Hotel. Each room comes complete with record 

players and vinyl. 

he used search lights for a premiere 

and it was where red carpet 

was first rolled out all the way to 

the street. 

Egyptian music and incense 

wafted through the courtyard, 

adding to the Egyptian motif, 

which was all the rage, given the 

epic excavations and discovery of 

King Tut’s tomb. 

Inside the theatre, I admired 

the two Egyptian dog statues, gifted 

by 20th Century Fox, which 

featured in Cleopatra, starring 

Elizabeth Taylor. The Red Line 

Tour is a great way to get inside 

this heritage-studded shrine. 

Five years later, Sid Grauman 

launched another lavish movie 

palace, the Chinese Theatre, 

which continues to host more 

world premieres than any other 

theatre on the planet. 

I’ve often wondered how the celebrity 

hand, and footprints, immortalised 

in the forecourt, first 

came about. Red Line’s Michael 

had the good oil. 

Sid Grauman created the first 

footprints by mistake – stepping 

into wet concrete as his theatre 

was being constructed. 

The foreman remarked: 

“Those footprints are going to 

be there forever,” and the rest is 

history. 

Pop into the Hollywood 

Museum, housed in the 1930s 

Max Factor building, where 

so many screen legends were 

transformed in the famous 

make-up rooms. Lucille Ball, 

Rita Hayworth, Judy Garland 

and Elizabeth Taylor were all 

primped and styled here – as was 

Marilyn Monroe. It was here that 

the brunette became the blonde 

bombshell.

Tinsel Town 

Pop into the landmark Hollywood 

Roosevelt Hotel, which 

is where Shirley Temple learnt 

to tap dance and where Marilyn 

Monroe’s first magazine shoot 

took place, shot by the Tropicana 

pool. 

That location is now a top celeb 

hideaway that you can gain access 

too. A true Hollywood oasis, the 

poolside Tropicana Café & Bar is 

a seductive all-day retreat. 

Enjoy a late breakfast or cheeky 

cocktail here. A star-studded 

haunt for close celebrity encounters 

– and the permanent presence 

of paparazzi, is The Ivy in 

Robertson Boulevard. 

It’s a great spot for breakfast or 

lunch: order up the cheap and 

cheerful homemade buttermilk 

pancakes and fresh ginger tea. 

If you notice swarms of tourists 

photographing the fast food joint, 

El Pollo Loco, on the corner of 

Serrano Ave and Sunset Boulevard, 

the reason is this is where 

a struggling young actor named 

Brad Pitt, would beckon customers 

into the store, dressed up as a 

chicken on the roadside. Nearby, 

on the Sunset Strip, pop into the 

auction house, Bonhams. 

They stage regular auctions and 

the loot inside this place rivals 

a museum. It is the number one 

clearing house for second-hand 

celebrity goods. 

I had a major star moment, in 

the elevator of my hotel, The Redbury. 

Cyndi Lauper swept into 

the lift with her entourage, chatty, 

charming and looking half of 

her 62 years of age. The Redbury, 

a boutique all-suites hotel, sits 

across the road from the iconic 

Capitol Records building. 

Glamorous, colourful and spacious, 

the 57 guest suites come 

complete with record players and 

vinyl collections. I played Duke 

Ellington on repeat. 

The quirky and eye-catching art 

pieces, sprinkled throughout the 

property are pure escapism. 

I loved the hip Middle Easterninspired 

Cleo restaurant and 

the indoor-outdoor library for 

handcrafted cocktails. Plus there’s 

a complimentary BMW house car 

available for pick-up or drop-off 

within three miles. 

Accommodation rates are not 

eye-watering – and you never 

know who you’ll bump into.

Bays’ hopes diminish 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

DANNY HALLIGAN’S dream 

of a top three finish was dashed 

on Saturday, as his Ferrymead 

Bays team went down 1-0 to 

Coastal Spirit. 

At the start of the season, Halligan 

said that Bays were not in 

the Mainland Premier League 

to make up the numbers, and 

that “third (place) would be the 

minimum” expectation. 

“We’ve been building and improving 

so I think third would 

be the minimum expectation 

and we’ll do everything we can 

to get that title,” Halligan said in 

the pre-season. 

Although it’s still mathematically 

possible for Bays to finish 

third, they would have to win 

all five remaining games in the 

league, and Nelson Suburbs 

would have to lose all five of 

their matches as well. 

Bays last five matches include 

playing against league leaders 

Cashmere Technical and thirdplaced 

Nelson Suburbs. 

Bays currently sit in fourth 

place, 13 points behind Nelson, 

making their clash on August 13 

at Ferrymead Park all the more 

important. 

It could get worse for Bays, too, 

if FC2011 beat Universities on 

Saturday and Bays lose to Cash 

Tech, they will drop below FC on 

the ladder and have no chance of 

reaching third. 

Halligan could not be reached 

by Bay Harbour News for comment. 

Bays’ end of season run 

July 23 v Cashmere Technical 

(home); July 30 v FC2011 

(away); August 13 v Nelson 

(home); August 20 v Universities 

(away); August 27 v Western 

(home).

in McCaffrey’s 100th 


SUMNER No 10 Nik Cumming 

put on a classy performance 

against High School Old Boys 

to help his side celebrate centre 

Reece McCaffrey’s 100th game 

for the club. 

Sumner mounted a come back 

to win the game at St Leonard’s 

Square 23-17 after being down 

14-12 at half time. 

McCaffrey led the team onto 

the field and captained the side 

for the game in recognition of 

his milestone game. 

Cumming said the team 

pulled together and played hard 

for their skipper on the day. 

“It was a good moment for 

him, he’s a huge part of the club. 

I work with him and he was a 

big part of me coming over, and 

the boys wanted to perform for 

him,” he said. 

But Cumming stole the show 

by scoring all Sumner’s points 

– three tries, a conversion, and 

two penalty kicks. 

Cumming now leads the 

Hawkins Division 1 Cup for 

most points scored. 

He has a total of 179 points 

with one match to go – a point 

ahead of Old Boys first fiveeighth 

Jarred Percival. 

Percival did not take to the 

field against Sumner because of

his trial for the Southland ITM 

Cup squad. 

Cumming said he was glad 

not to have Percival on the field, 

as he has been key to Old Boys’ 

success this season. 

“I’m sort of happy, I guess, 

that he wasn’t playing. 

“He’s a good player and makes 

a big difference in the way they 

play. They tend to run a bit of 

their game off him,” Cumming 

said. 

With just one game remaining 

in the season before the 

play-offs, Sumner sit in third 

place in the section two table, 

with three wins from the last 

four matches. 

Their final match will be 

played away against Belfast on 

Saturday and is a must win if 

they hope to make the ‘middle 

four’ semi-finals. 

The semi-finals will see the 

bottom two teams from section 

one playing off against the top 

two from section two. 

POWERING ON: Lyttelton’s Timm Hunter (right) on the charge

Lyttelton’s bitter pill 


LYTTELTON’S TOP side may 

be out of contention for the 

Hawkins Division 2 Cup, but 

they won’t stop fighting for the 

best finish they can get. 

Lyttelton’s 15-10 loss against 

New Brighton on Saturday 

means they are in fifth place 

heading into the season’s knockout 

stages. 

The club’s rugby development 

officer Clint Williams said it was 

a gut-wrenching end to a solid 

season. 

“To be honest, I think that was 

the end of our season, that loss to 

Brighton. We’ll end up playing 

for fifth and sixth now I think, 

which is a bit tough to swallow 

because we played so well,” he 

said. 

On looking at the start of the 

club’s season, Mr Williams said 

injuries to key members of the 

team led to a tough tournament. 

“I’m not making excuses for 

the boys at all, but if you looked 

at the team we had at the start of 

the season, we’ve had a massive 

struggle with injuries. 

“Our captain and about five of 

the team’s leadership group were 

all injured. 

“One injury came in the first 

two minutes of the season’s 

opening game, and that was his 

season over,” he said. 

Lyttelton will face Linwood 

in the final game of the normal 

season, before going into the 

knockout stage.

Motoring 

Skoda Fabia wagon a good value purchase 

• By Ross Kiddie 

THE JUNE 23 referendum 

which resulted in Great Britain’s 

withdrawal from the European 

Union has taken the world by 

surprise. 

There will be a long period 

of global financial uncertainty 

before stability returns and that 

will also affect many aspects of 

our down under economies. 

In the short term, imported 

goods will most certainly rise, 

including motor vehicles, especially 

those sourced from Europe. 

That being the case, there’s 

probably no better time to buy a 

European car, and if your budget 

is a little restricted but you need 

a reliable practical car, Skoda has 

the answer. 

A new Fabia has just landed 

and it lists from $19,990. It 

arrives here in three variants, 

and I was lucky enough to land 

a drive in the range-topping station 

wagon which, incidentally, 

lists at an amazing $26,990, 

making it, what I believe to be 

one of the bargain purchases in 

today’s new car market. 

The Fabia wagon, or Combi, 

as Skoda badge it, is powered 

by a 1.2-litre, four-cylinder 

engine. Before you scoff at its 

meagre displacement, bear in 

mind that it produces 81kW 

and has a healthy 175Nm of 

SKODA FABIA COMBI: Volkswagen-based engineering. 

torque thanks to turbocharged 

boost. If you take into account 

the areas where peak power and 

maximum torque are developed 

(4600rpm-5600rpm and 

1400rpm-4000rpm respectively), 

there is an unimpeded supply of 

power from very low in the rev 

band, providing a spirited drive 

through a seven-speed direct 

shift automatic gearbox. 

If fuel usage is also an important 

buying criteria, the Fabia 

Combi is listed with a 4.8-litre 

per 100km (58mpg) combined 

cycle average. 

You don’t have to try hard to 

replicate that, I wasn’t gentle 

with the throttle during my time 

in the test car, yet it was easy to 

have the fuel usage readout listing 

around 6l/100km (47mpg), 

that along with an instantaneous 

readout of 4.6l/100km (62mpg) 

on the highway cruising a 

steady 100km/h (engine speed 

2050rpm). 

I’ve often written about the 

Czech Republic’s engineering 

prowess, and if you combined 

that with Volkswagen’s manufacturing 

ideology of quality and 

efficiency you won’t be disappointed 

with Fabia. The entire 

package is one of practicality 

and functionality. 

Take it’s 505-litre load space 

for example, extending to 

1370-litres, the wagon section 

is cavernous for what is 

deemed to be a small car. That 

doesn’t come at the cost of rear 

occupant space, the Fabia can 

still be considered a marginal 

five-seater, head and leg room is 

satisfactory. 

Up front it is the same, the 

seating position is constantly 

comfortable, and the controls 

fall readily to hand. It’s fair to 

say the Fabia isn’t overly complicated, 

there aren’t a lot of 

functions to speak of, but the 

essentials are there, and there is 

enough kit to still consider the 

purchase a bargain. 

I took the test car on my usual 

high country drive beneath the 

Malvern Hills and found it to 

be a spirited, well-handling car 

which quickly endears itself. 

Handling-wise it is directional 

with quick turn-in and positive 

steering feel. Providing the grip 

are 215/45 x 16in Bridgestone 

Potenza performance tyres, what 

they lack in size they make up 

for in quality, they are sticky yet 

also quiet. 

There aren’t any surprises 

within the suspension, but 

if you take into account that 

the floorpan is essentially 

Volkswagen Polo-based, you can 

guarantee a sophisticated ride 

along with spring and damper 

rates that arrest body movement 

when confronted with a quick 

corner or two, and if you really

want to get serious, a sport 

suspension package is available, 

it also includes bigger wheels. 

But even in standard form the 

Fabia wagon is an adept handler. 

Becasue the engine develops 

its power low in the rev band 

and the constant supply of gearing 

there is a seamless flow 

of energy. It is responsive and 

willing, easily offering the performance 

needed for a highway 

overtake or a quick burst on a 

hilly incline. 

The Fabia Combi really 

appealed to me, it is car that 

feels just right from the moment 

you hop into it. I’m hoping that 

amidst all the uncertainty in 

Europe at the moment that good 

cars like it, and the hundreds 

of others which find their way 

from the Continent to New 

Zealand, won’t be affected by 

Britain’s decision to go it alone.

1 Reserve 

No Man’s Land by Simon Tolkien 

From the slums of London to the riches of an Edwardian country house; 

from the hot, dark seams of a Yorkshire coalmine to the exposed terrors of 

the trenches, Adam Raine’s journey from boy to man is set against the 

backdrop of a society violently entering the modern world. Adam 

Raine is a boy cursed by misfortune. His impoverished childhood 

in the slums of Islington is brought to an end by a tragedy 

that sends him north to Scarsdale, a hard-living coalmining 

town where his father finds work as a union organizer. But it 

isn’t long before the escalating tensions between the miners 

and their employer, Sir John Scarsdale, explode with terrible 

consequences. In the aftermath, Adam meets Miriam, the 

Rector’s beautiful daughter, and moves into Scarsdale Hall, an 

opulent paradise compared with the life he has been used to before. 

But he makes an enemy of Sir John’s son, Brice, who subjects him to 

endless petty cruelties for daring to step above his station. When love and an 

Oxford education beckon, Adam feels that his life is finally starting to come 

together – until the outbreak of war threatens to tear everything apart. 

Sleeper’s Castle by Barbara Erskine 

Two women, centuries apart. One endless nightmare tearing Wales apart – 

and only they can stop it.Sunday Times bestselling author Barbara Erskine 

returns to Hay in the year that marks the 30th anniversary of her sensational 

debut bestseller, Lady of Hay. Hay-On-Wye, 1400 – War is brewing in the 

Welsh borders, Catrin is on the brink of womanhood and falling in love for 

the first time. Her father is a soothsayer, playing a dangerous game playing 

on the mixed loyalties and furious rivalries between welsh princes and 

English lords. For two hundred years, the Welsh people have lain under the 

English yoke, dreaming of independence. And finally it looks as though the 

charismatic Owain Glyndwr may be the man legend tralks of. In the walls of 

Sleeper’s Castle, Catrin finds herself caught in the middle of a doomed war as 

she is called upon to foretell Wales’s destiny… And what she sees, is blood 

and war coming closer…Hay, 2015. Miranda has moved to Sleeper’s Castle 

to escape and grieve. Slowly she feels herself coming to life in the solitude of 

the mountains. But every time she closes her eyes her dreams become more 

vivid. And she makes a connection with a young girl, who’s screaming, who’s 

reaching out… who only Miranda can help. Is she losing herself to time?

How To Avoid Back Pain 

In 3 Easy Steps 

Back pain affects 80% of adults, 

statistics say that at any given 

time 47% of adults are suffering 

back pain. 

Admittedly the range is from 

stiffness through to major back pain, but 

these statistics shouldn’t frighten, but help 

you understand how to avoid back pain. 

Okay, so what steps can you follow to 

avoid back pain? 

Step One: Recognise that most back 

pain is not from falls or major injuries. 

The vast majority of back pain comes 

from small injuries. 

The lifting of your child, gardening, 

shifting a chair or even bending, twisting 

or moving without any effort at all. 

A study showed that of all the injuries 

that people listed as the cause of their 

pain, 92% of these were not severe enough 

to cause any pain at all. Why? 

it is the accumulation of many small 

injuries over time that cause pain. So how 

can you stop these? 

you can’t, you have to live life after all. 

But what you should do is recognize the 

first signs that these are accumulating. 

That morning stiffness when you get out 

of bed. The tightness when you move. 

These are the times to take action and 

make sure your muscles and joints are in 

balance. even going for a long walk can 

help ease some of this tension. But this 

leads us to step two. 

Step two: if it doesn’t ease, then time 

generally won’t help. if pain is present for 

more than a few days, then it is unlikely 

to completely ease by itself. Sure pain may 

disappear but most often you are left with 

some lingering issue. 

This is one of the reasons that as we age 

we feel tighter, less able to move and more 

general aches and pains. All these little 

injuries that have never completely healed. 

So if pain persists (as those ads say on tV), 

seek help. Which leads to the final step. 

Step Three: here in the lovely bay 

harbour area, we are blessed with many 

great Chiropractors, Physiotherapists and 

massage Therapists. 

So there is no need to put up with pain. And even if the pain is minor, now is the best 

time to remove it before it becomes chronic and you spend your days not moving as 

freely as you should. Keeping your joints and muscles in good balance will help prevent 

joint issues as you age. 

it is that simple … an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. take action now 

and feel free to call for a consultation so you can see how we can get you moving freely 

again. The Clinic is open for new clients again, so call on 3840-160 if you feel you need 

help with any pain, no matter how small. 

Graeme Teague’s clinic is located at 85 Major Hornbrook Road, Mt Pleasant.

Retaining Wall 

When considering a retaining wall, 

Solveig Construction can advise the 

best solution based on the structural 

requirements and aesthetic needs. 

The main function of retaining wall 

systems is to create a strong wall 

structure to contain and stabilise soil 

and rock behind the wall system to 

stop erosion on steep and sloped 

landscapes. 

The other advantage is for their decorative appeal that will transform any landscape setting 

to look attractive and create visual interest. Retaining walls can be constructed from various 

building materials such as, concrete blocks, natural stone blocks, bricks, poured in concrete 

and timber. 

Before choosing the look of the wall you want on your property, you must seek professional 

advice. With our expertise and knowledge, Solveig Construction can suggest the best type 

of wall design and the most suitable material appropriate to your needs. 

Contact Dougall Patchett to discuss options for your retaining wall design. 

Phone 027 431 5289. 

Parklands Drive – Concrete block and timber walls with steps 

As the house is at the bottom of a sloping section, the homeowner required clear access 

around the front of the home. The solution is a concrete block retaining wall topped by a 

landscaped terrace edged with a small timber wall. Steps allow access from the lawn to the 

front entry.
