Wednesday October 19 2016 News BAY HARBOUR In Brief PAGE 3 PEST: Rats and possums are among the predators which kill about 25 million native birds in New Zealand each year. Making properties pest-free • By Annabelle Dick THE SUMMIT Road Society is urging residents to catch possums, rats and stoats on their properties as they launch an initiative to eradicate pests. The Predator-Free Port Hills programme aims to maintain the local flora and fauna by removing pests from around the boundary of the Port Hills. Summit Road Society vicepresident Jeremy Agar said they want to encourage people to set up traps in their back yard to help the effort. “Where residents live on the Port Hills, between Taylors Mistake and Halswell and around Lyttelton Harbour, it’s a perfect opportunity to have traps for predators in their back garden because they tend to be heavy on the edges of bush,” he said. The group is holding a public seminar to teach residents about the local pest problem and how they can help mitigate it. They will discuss the predatorfree concept, community pest control methods in Redcliffs and Sumner and how to host and maintain traps. The group is following the Government and other community organisations around the country which are aiming to make New Zealand free of pests. “We’re really encouraged by the Government’s call to become predator-free by 2050 and we think the way to do that is to act where we are and that’s the Port Hills,” he said. In New Zealand, predators kill about 25 million native birds each year and have pushed species to the brink of extinction. The Government launched an initiative to make the country predator-free by 2050 earlier this year. The Government also said in this year’s budget that it will spend an additional $28 million over four years and $7 million every year thereafter on pest control. This is on top of the more than $70 million already spent each year on predator control in New Zealand. A public meeting will be held at the Cashmere Presbyterian Church on October 27 at 7pm. RETAINING WALLS DONE Stronger Christchurch Infrastructure Rebuild Team has completed repairs to two earthquake-damaged retaining walls in Lyttelton. Retaining walls on Voelas Rd and the cnr of Voelas Rd and Webb Lane have been finished after nine months of work. SCIRT has repaired and rebuilt 166 publicly-owned retaining walls in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula as part of the five-year infrastructure repair programme. CYCLEWAY INPUT The Heathcote Expressway and Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway projects will soon be open for consultation with the community. The city council has begun consulting on several of the 13 new cycleways which will be built over the next seven years at an estimated cost of $156 million. The Heathcote Cycleway goes from Heathcote through Woolston, Opawa, Waltham and Sydenham into the central city along large sections of the rail corridor. The Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway will start at the Ferrymead Bridge and lead to the central city via Linwood. The Coastal Pathway, which will run from Sumner to Ferrymead Bridge, is funded separately to the Major Cycle Routes programme. Opening a new local business?
