School may be on Maori burial site 

• By Annabelle Dick 

ONE SITE for the new Redcliffs 

School could be home to a 

historic Maori burial ground. 

That’s the result of a 

Ministry of Education 

feasibility report into Redcliffs 

Park. 

Management advisory 

company Mahaanui 

Kurataiao Ltd told the 

ministry there is evidence 

to suggest that urupa 

(burial grounds) could be 

located in the immediate 

vicinity of the park, which 

is a possible location for the 

school. 

Jerome 

Sheppard 

But local MP Nuk Korako said 

the ministry has already engaged 

with mana whenua over the 

discovery of bones. 

“Our tikanga is to determine 

if they’re human remains 

and, if so, we have the 

necessary protocol where 

we would take them and 

re-intern them somewhere 

else,” he said. 

The report outlined 

Redcliffs Park, Barnett 

Park and McCormacks 

Bay Reserve as the three 

options for relocation of 

the school. The former Main Rd 

site wasn’t investigated in the 

study. 

Three possible school locations 

have been identified within Redcliffs 

Park. 

Redcliffs School Board of Trustees 

spokesman Mark Robberds 

said location C was the preference 

for the school. 

People living adjacent to the 

park told Bay Harbour News this 

week they’re angry they weren’t 

notified Redcliffs Park was a 

possible option. 

They did not want to be identified 

because they feared a community 

backlash against them. 

“It was a shock. It’s really 

upsetting – I was upset and quite 

tearful,” one homeowner said. 

“Had there been consultation 

or discussion, it would’ve been 

just so much better, but to be 

dropped into it is just such an 

unreasonable thing to do.” 

Homeowners are also worried 

their property values will decrease. 

“The worst case scenario is 

we could end up with a loss of 

property value of $300,000 to 

$400,000 and we can’t do anything 

about it. From the financial 

point of view, it’s not good. The 

worst thing is losing the enjoyment 

of what we took for granted 

as being permanent.” 

The report stated the purchase 

of vacant residential land at 

19 Main Rd would enhance 

the school, but a neighbouring 

resident said it was recently 

purchased. The study also shows 

Redcliffs Park is susceptible to 

rockfall, flooding and tsunamis. 

Ministry of Education head of 

the education infrastructure service 

Jerome Sheppard remained 

tight-lipped about the ministry’s 

location preferences. 

“The master planning for the 

Redcliffs Park site has yet to be 

undertaken. Therefore, the exact 

location of the school hasn’t yet 

been determined,” he said.

NOT EVERYONE is happy with 

Redcliffs Park as the site for the 

new Redcliffs School. 

Reporter Annabelle Dick doorknocked 

a number of people living 

adjacent to the park, and their 

responses were unanimous: “We 

don’t want the school here.” 

None though would allow their 

names to be used, fearing they 

would be singled out in the tightknit 

Redcliffs community for being 

negative. 

We also reveal in our article 

on page 1 that there could be a 

historic Maori burial site on one of 

the areas the school will be sited. 

MP Nuk Korako says it won’t be 

an issue if that’s the case. But time 

will tell on that one.

Insurance 

payout 

for bridge 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

AN INSURANCE payment 

of nearly $6 million has been 

received for the Ferrymead 

Bridge. 

City council finance and commercial 

general manager Peter 

Gudsell said it had received the 

total $5,916,260 of its insurance 

pay out. 

He said the city council’s claim 

was for extra costs for the bridge 

due to the damage it received in 

the February 2011 earthquake. 

“This was complicated by 

design changes and ground 

conditions. The recovery was a 

fair reflection of the policy entitlements.” 

However, the city council found 

out on Monday it had to pay $3.25 

million of that to New Zealand 

Transport Agency for the money it 

put into the replacement, he said. 

The new bridge opened in September 

last year, with the budget 

having blown out by more than 

$20 million. 

In 2011, the city council decided 

to replace the bridge, and budgeted 

$18 million for it. 

But by November 2012, after 

more detail the cost blew out to 

$34.9 million. In the end, it cost 

$38.8 million. 

Celebrations as new 

Redcliffs seawall opens 

REDCLIFFS residents now 

have greater security against 

flooding with the completion 

of the new Beachville Rd 

seawall. 

THe 500m seawall 

reconstruction was celebrated 

at the weekend with a 

community event and launch 

ceremony. 

Heathcote Ward city 

councillor Sara Templeton 

declared the project finished 

with the cutting of a ribbon 

on Beachville Rd on Sunday. 

“THe completion of this 

project is fantastic for the 

local community. It not only 

provides the protection of the 

seawall, but the continuation 

of the coastal pathway which 

is an important connection 

between the coastal 

communities and enables 

a wide range of recreation 

activities,” Cr Templeton said. 

The year-long, $8 million 

project saw the rebuild of the 

seawall and the construction 

of a new section of the coastal 

pathway. 

The pathway spans 1.2km 

and includes new stormwater 

pipes, road and kerb and 

channels. 

CELEBRATE: The new seawall alongside the coastal 

pathway on Beachville Rd.

It now connects from 

Ferrymead to the end of 

Beachville Rd, Redcliffs. 

The original 100-year-old 

seawall structure was severely 

damaged during the February 

22, 2011, earthquake and had 

to be rebuilt. 

The wall dropped up 

to 50cm and slumped 

forward up to 1m in places 

leaving Beachville Rd 

vulnerable to flooding during 

bad weather. 

“The new seawall provides 

protection from erosion and 

it offers more resilience in 

the event of storm surges 

and future seismic activity,” 

SCIRT executive general 

manager Ian Campbell 

said. 

As SCIRT’s construction 

programme winds down, the 

city council will begin on its 

$450 million project to repair 

and maintain underground 

pipe. 

In Brief 

RENAMED PARKS 

Two Duvauchelle reserves have 

been renamed. Earlier this year, 

the former Akaroa-Wairewa 

Community Board asked the 

city council to approve the name 

changes of Bayview Reserve to Ron 

Nuttall Reserve, and Duvauchelle 

Reserve to Marshall Reserve. Ron 

Nuttall was a long-time holiday 

home owner who promoted, 

co-ordinated and did most of the 

planting in the reserve. Marshall 

Reserve has been named after the 

Marshall family, who carried out 

the initial subdivision of the area, 

and were involved in community 

events and committees over the 

years. 

LOCAL FACES EXHIBIT 

Lyttelton artist Julia Holden has 

launched her exhibition showcasing 

port locals. The Lyttelton Redux 

project started yesterday and shows 

23 portraits of residents, including 

Sergeant Dave Knowles and The 

Eastern’s Adam McGrath. The 

exhibition will show at 50 Works 

Gallery and run until March. 

TEAHOUSE RETURNS 

The Farmhouse Tea Rooms at Orton 

Bradley Park have been reopened 

to the public. It was officially reopened 

on Saturday. Former Purau 

resident Annie Baxter is managing

New school site report outlines 

The long-awaited Ministry of Education feasibility 

report investigating site options for Redcliffs School 

has just been released. Annabelle Dick looks into 

the study and issues facing the park. 

THE PROBLEMS facing 

Redcliffs Park have come to light 

as a newly-released Ministry of 

Education report shows the site is 

susceptible to rockfall, flooding 

and tsunamis. 

Following Education Minister 

Hekia Parata’s announcement 

last week that Redcliffs Park will 

be the future site of Redcliffs 

School, the ministry now has to 

make a decision on where the 

school will be located within the 

park. 

In a Ministry of Education 

feasibility study, McCormacks 

Bay Reserve and Barnett Park 

were also explored as site options 

but the former Main Rd school 

site was not. 

Three locations within Redcliffs 

Park have been finalised as 

the possible school site – location 

A, location B and location C. 

Location A sits on the eastern 

boundary beside Celia St and 

location B on the boundary near 

Main Rd. 

Location C was suggested as 

an option by the Redcliffs School 

Steering Group after the first 

report was already completed. 

It sits on the west and northwestern 

boundary of the park 

similar to Location B, but the 

proposed site has been brought 

forward about 20m inside the 

park boundary with Main Rd. 

Location C scored highest in 

the ministry’s Methodology for 

New School Site Evaluation. 

But all of the locations sit 

within problem areas in the city 

council’s Proposed Replacement 

Christchurch District Plan. 

The three options fall in the 

coastal environment overlay of 

the replacement plan, which is at 

risk from a tsunami. 

In the feasibility report, chartered 

professional engineer Nick 

Harwood, an expert in geotechnical 

engineering, believes the 

former Main Rd site would be a 

safer option. 

“I am uncomfortable with proposals 

to consider a new school 

site in a mapped tsunami zone, 

especially when there is a clear 

option (Main Rd) that eliminates 

the hazard zone. My gut feel is 

that I’d be uncomfortable putting 

my kids in a school with a 

tsunami hazard,” he said. 

NEW SITE: Redcliffs Park scored the highest compared to 

McCormacks Bay Reserve and Barnett Park in a Ministry of 

Education feasibility report on where Redcliffs School should 

be located. 

Redcliffs Park also sits within 

Coastal Erosion Hazard Zone 1 

and 2 and Coastal Inundation 

Hazard Zone 1 and 2 on the city 

council-commissioned Coastal 

Hazards Assessment Report. 

That means it’s susceptible to 

coastal erosion over the next 50 

years and coastal inundation 

(flooding by the sea) in a one in 

50-year storm event. 

Location A would need about 

1.5m of fill to bring it to the 

minimum floor level required by 

the city council. 

The feasibility study says the 

building platform for location 

B is likely to be outside the area 

subject to flooding or coastal 

inundation, but the playing fields 

and access roads wouldn’t. 

Tonkin & Taylor also advised 

that all of the sites have geotechnical 

issues. 

On location B, the replacement 

plan shows Cliff Hazard Management 

Area 2 runs 4m into the 

site’s boundary. 

Remediation work is being 

done on the cliff face opposite the 

site, but the site is likely to still 

remain in the Cliff Hazard Management 

Area 2 in the plan. 

Redcliffs Park was also a landfill 

and the activity affects the 

western part of the site. 

Tonkin & Taylor has assessed 

a low to moderate potential soil 

contamination issues, and low to 

moderate potential for pesticide 

contamination of sports field soil. 

Location A is affected more 

than location B, which mostly 

sits above the closed landfill. 

The report stated the site would 

need to be carefully managed 

during development as run-off 

and sedimentation could seep 

into the estuary. 

Locations B and C are further 

away from the estuary and the 

report has listed them as a preferred 

option for that reason. 

All sites had cultural significance 

and value investigated and 

Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd noted

issues Govt considered 

Locations B and C are further 

away from the estuary and the 

report has listed them as a preferred 

option for that reason. 

All sites had cultural significance 

and value investigated and 

Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd noted 

that there is evidence to suggest 

that urupa (burial grounds) 

could be located in the immediate 

vicinity of location C. 

All locations have issues 

but location B and C score 

much higher than location A 

because it has better results 

for geotechnical, flooding, 

contamination and co-location in 

the criteria. 

The Redcliffs School Board of 

Trustees has indicated location 

C is its preferred option but is 

keeping its mind open. 

“That’s the one we’ve shown the 

most interest in but we can’t rule 

anything out. Location B and 

C make more sense in terms of 

accessibility and lower impact on 

the amenity of the park,” trustee 

Mark Robberds said. 

The report has attracted criticism, 

as Mr Harwood said the 

old site should’ve been considered 

because it would do well on 

acquisition cost, construction 

cost and geotech hazard. 

“It seems incomplete not to 

have included the Main Rd site in 

the site comparison assessment to 

VIEW FROM ABOVE: Location A sits at a different end of the park than B and C, which are the 

preferred options 

gauge how that site fairs with the 

alternatives,” he said. 

The ministry will now go 

through the process to acquire 

Redcliffs Park from the city 

council and a site will be chosen 

thereafter.

In Brief 

ROCK WALL ONGOING 

Work will continue on 

Heberden Ave to build a rock 

protection wall. Fulton Hogan 

is building the 1.5m rock 

protection wall, which has 

closed the corridor and meant 

that detours are in place. The 

work is expected to take until 

November 30. City Care has 

also started repairing part of 

the gravity wastewater pipe on 

Heberden Ave. Workers will 

dig down to the pipe, repair the 

damage, reseal the road and 

repaint the road markings. It is 

expected to be finished at the 

end of the week. 

PLANTING DAY 

Residents are needed to help 

plant native seedlings at Drayton 

Reserve. A working group 

has helped clear weeds and a 

working bee will now be held to 

help rejuvenate the forest. The 

bee will take place on Saturday, 

November 26, from 2-4pm. To 

find out how you can help, call 

Dave Bryce on 021 363 498. 

LANE CLOSURE 

Vehicle lanes on Taylors Mistake 

Rd have been closed due 

to water pipe repairs. City Care 

will be stationed outside 82 

Taylors Mistake Rd where there 

will be a priority give way. The 

work is expected to be finished 

on Friday.

Learn to 

save the 

whales 


A PROGRAMME aimed at 

teaching people how to save whales 

will come to Sumner later this 

month. 

Project Jonah is an animal welfare 

charity that rescues stranded 

mammals, holds awareness campaigns 

and education seminars, 

and acts as a watchdog for water 

species. 

Project Jonah also teaches residents 

how to save whales if they see 

them washed up. 

“Saving whales isn’t as easy 

as it looks. A stranding site is a 

dangerous place and people can 

sometimes make mistakes,” Project 

Jonah general manager Daren 

Grover said. 

“It’s important that people understand 

the complexity of strandings, 

why they happen and what 

they can do to help.” 

In June this year, Project Jonah 

and the Department of Conservation 

helped a stranded whale on 

Waimairi Beach back into the 

water. 

Project Jonah is holding first aid 

training at Sumner Beach on Saturday, 

November 26 and Sunday, 

November 27. 

Give well 

Fearless Fraser gives it a go 

Stand-up paddle 

boarding combines 

rowing with surfing and 

is a great workout as 

reporter Fraser 

Walker-Pearce 

experienced when he 

was asked to have a go 

at the growing sport. 

He joined in on a lesson 

at the Naval Point Club 

Lyttelton 

I DON’T know how you 

spent your Saturday morning, 

but I spent mine desperately 

scrambling back out of Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

Now, don’t feel too sorry for 

me, it was actually my choice to 

be there in the first place. 

I was invited out by the good 

folks at Naval Point Club Lyttelton 

to try my hand at stand-up 

paddle boarding with a class 

they had put on. 

Stand-up paddle boarding gets 

you standing on a surf board 

with a paddle and rowing yourself 

around. It’s a combination of 

surfing and kayaking. 

I joined in with a group of 

three girls, all of whom had 

never tried paddle boarding 

before, and we began learning 

this Christmas 

the ways of the waves on land at 

first, then in the harbour with 

our two tutors, Alan and Tyler. 

Alan thrust at me the longest 

paddle board and paddle, along 

with the smallest life jacket – 

FULL OF 

FOCUS: I was 

determined 

not to let the 

harbour get 

the best of 

me – but in 

the end it 

did. 

PHOTO: SUP 

FANATIC 

some sort of new pack thing, 

which wraps around your hips. 

He joked, “you can swim right? 

Here you are.” 

“Great” I thought. 

We knelt on our boards and 

learned how best to tackle the 

rolling waves of the harbour and 

the easiest way to get the most 

out of our paddles and then we 

hit the water. 

We started out in the shallows 

on our knees and, as we grew in 

confidence (my first mistake), we 

paddled deeper and stood up. 

Alan showed us how to turn 

on a dime and move up and 

down the board with ease. 

But it was when he asked us to 

stand down the tail end of the 

board that it all fell to pieces for 

me. 

I slowly shimmied my way 

down the board, ensuring my 

knees were bent and my eyes 

forward. But I went too far. 

In an instant, I felt the board’s 

nose lift and the tail drop, my 

balance was all out, and before I 

could yell out, I was over and my 

nose and tail were wet. 

There’s no shock quite like 

being completely dry one second 

and then completely submerged 

in Lyttelton Harbour the next. 

Thankfully, there’s no photographic 

evidence that I fell in.

paddle boarding lessons

to noon. For more information,

LYTTELTON PEOPLE want 

more research done on the 

harbour’s reefs. 

More than 50 people attended 

a meeting to discuss research 

findings by Dr 

Tommaso Alestra 

(left) and Dr 

Mads Thomsen, 

of Canterbury 

University’s marine 

ecology research 

group, about the harbour’s reef 

biodiversity and an invasive 

Japanese algae. 

“The level of attention, engagement 

and participation was 

impressive. We were asked lot 

of interesting questions and we 

received lot of interesting feedback,’ 

Dr Alestra said. 

“I didn’t want this to be a lecture, 

but a two-way conversation 

and I’m glad that it went exactly 

that way.” 

Last year, Environment 

Canterbury asked the marine 

ecologists to write a report on 

intertidal reefs, the area above 

water at low tide and under 

water at high tide. 

The pair went around the 

harbour’s rocky reefs looking 

at what was there, what species 

were there like algae and 

ECO-SYSTEM: Research on Lyttelton Harbour’s reefs has 

prompted residents to ask for more. 

animals and how abundant they 

were. 

“Extensive research on these 

reefs has never been done before,” 

Dr Alestra said. 

Dr Thomsen researched the 

seaweed Undaria pinnatifida 

and looked at how it affected 

other marine organisms. 

“We found that Undaria is not 

so terrible to the other algae and 

they co-exist quite nicely, so it’s 

interesting to see such an abundance 

of Undaria that doesn’t 

seem to have a great impact on 

other algae,” Dr Alestra said. 

He said more research has 

been encouraged locally, as 

residents asked whether the 

rocky reef monitoring will be 

repeated and if new sites will be 

looked at. 

“I am a long-term resident 

(and was) surprised to hear 

that areas of the harbour are 

relatively healthy. We need to 

ensure ongoing monitoring,” 

John McLister, of Diamond 

Harbour, said. 

“When research is undertaken 

in an area that you love, you 

want to learn of the results,” Port 

Hills Labour MP Ruth Dyson 

said. 

Dr Alestra said the meeting 

provided an opportunity to 

combine science and local 

knowledge on the harbour. 

“The turn out is testament 

to the love and interest the 

community has in the health of 

the harbour. There is a strong 

need for ongoing monitoring of 

the health of the harbour into 

the future,” Dr Alestra said. 

The pair have had discussions 

with Ecan about undertaking 

more research. 

Freedom 

campers go 


FREEDOM CAMPERS have 

been banned from Windsport 

Park, French Farm and Wainui 

foreshores. 

Last week the city council approved 

the amendments to the 

Freedom Camping Bylaw to permanently 

ban freedom camping 

from those sites. 

They’ve also been banned from 

Addington Park and the Lower 

Styx River Mouth. 

But the amended bylaw will 

allow certified, self-contained 

freedom camping, without a time 

restriction, in rural zones. 

Fifty-five out of 72 public submissions 

expressed general support 

for changes that would see freedom 

camping banned at the sites. 

French Farm was closed to the 

public in March due to contamination 

from overflowing septic tanks 

and had up to 41 vehicles on site at 

any time, while Wainui had up to 

nine. 

A $19,435 city council-commissioned 

report found that the 

4760-litre septic tank at French 

Farm was only capable of serving 

a maximum of 23 people each day 

while the 4000-litre septic tank at 

Wainui could only serve 19. 

The new rules come into effect 

from December 1.

Less noise 

made by 

Awaroa 

THE HARBOUR area should hear 

less noise coming from the pilot 

vessel Awaroa. 

Lyttelton Port Company has 

modified the vessel after it received 

criticism from residents for being 

too loud. 

A silencer has been installed on its 

exhaust and LPC said testing done 

before and after the modification 

shows noise emissions from the vessel 

have decreased. 

“Residents in the vicinity of the 

path which the Awaroa travels 

should notice that the noise of the 

vessel has reduced in magnitude and 

character,” said LPC chief executive 

Peter Davie. 

The boat travels through the harbour 

six to eight times a day. 

The 16m-long pilot launch replaced 

the 12m Canterbury vessel 

and has been used by the company 

since February. 

LPC said feedback about noise 

mostly came from Diamond Harbour 

residents. 

“It takes the Awaroa just under 

five minutes to travel from the moles 

to the breakwater, which is the area 

in which Diamond Harbour residents 

are most likely to hear it,” Mr 

Davie said. 

Duo ready for Selwyn Sounds 

• By Tom Doudney 

BESIDES BOTH living in 

Lincoln, there is one important 

thing that former World Cup 

winning women’s cricketer 

Katrina Keenan and aircraft 

technician Dave McKenzie have 

in common – music. 

The duo, who perform cover 

songs together under the name 

of Southfield, will debut their 

first original song when they 

play as one of the opening acts at 

Lincoln’s Selwyn Sounds concert 

in March. 

The show features big name 

New Zealand acts such as Mi-Sex, 

Dragon and The Jordan Luck 

Band. 

The pair first met at a social 

gathering at a friends place and 

when McKenzie got his guitar out 

to play a few tunes, Keenan took 

notice. 

“I thought ‘oh, he’s quite accomplished, 

I wonder if he would 

be interested in doing something 

as a duo’.” 

As it turned out, he was so they 

chose a band name based on the 

street that McKenzie lives on – 

Southfield Drive – and have now 

been playing together for about a 

year. 

While Keenan (nee Withers) is 

best known for her six years as a 

player and further year as coach 

of national women’s cricket side 

the White Ferns, this isn’t her first 

foray into music. 

A country pop song she wrote 

and recorded about 15 years ago, 

called If Ever I’ve Been Loved, got 

some air play on Christchurch 

radio and earned her a spot as a 

solo artist opening for American 

country and pop artists Charlie 

Pride and Gene Pitney when they 

played at the Christchurch Town 

Hall. 

Keenan and McKenzie plan to 

upload their new song to their 

Facebook page on the day of 

the concert but have no plans to 

release an album. 

“We are both individually busy 

with our other career paths,” she 

said. 

“This is more of a passion and a 

hobby.” 

•Selwyn Sounds will be held 

on March 4, from 11.30am- 

8.30pm. Tickets can be 

purchased via Ticketek and 

buyers will be able to prepurchase 

a return bus ride 

between pick up points in 

Christchurch or Rolleston and 

Lincoln Domain. 

RIGHT NOTES: Dave McKenzie and Katrina Keenan’s 

band name Southfield was inspired by the Lincoln 

street on which McKenzie lives. They will debut their 

first original song as a duo at next year’s Selwyn 

Sounds concert.

Emails reveal why Nga Tahu pulled 

Concept plans for the new Akaroa Health Hub have 

been approved and the project is progressing – but 

it wasn’t always smooth sailing. Bridget Rutherford 

looks into what led major funder, Ngai Tahu 

Property, to pull out of the project 

NGAI TAHU Property pulled 

out of funding the majority of 

a new health facility in Akaroa 

because its commercial terms 

were not met and the budget had 

blown out. 

Bay Harbour News has 

obtained the 

emails between the 

Canterbury District 

Health Board and 

Ngai Tahu Property 

leading up to NTP 

pulling the pin on 

the project from an 

Official Information 

Act request. 

NTP was to contribute $5.75 

David 

Meates 

million to establish the facility – 

which was originally expected to 

cost about $7.5 million. 

It would replace the former 

Onuku Rd hospital damaged 

in the September 2010 and 

February 2011 earthquakes. 

CDHB and the community 

were to contribute $1 million 

each. However, NTP pulled out 

in September last year. Until 

now, it was unknown as to why. 

The emails showed NTP had 

become “nervous” about the 

project in February last year. 

The early concept plan was not 

going to come in on budget and 

there was discussion over who 

would pay for the soft fit-out of 

the facility. 

There were also questions over 

whether the planned July 2016 

opening date was critical. 

On August 5, CDHB 

consultant Jeannie Bayly asked 

a NTP project manager whether 

they could catch up to talk about 

the project, as it was a “priority.” 

The project manager’s name 

was redacted from the emails. 

She said she was trying to get 

a response out of a senior NTP 

manager (whose name was also 

redacted), which was proving 

a “lot more difficult than I had 

imagined!!” 

“I have sent him about three or 

four emails about Akaroa in the 

last 24 hours alone.” 

Come August 12, CDHB 

MULTI-PURPOSE: The concept design for the new 12-bed Akaroa Health Hub has been 

approved by the Akaroa Structure Group and CDHB. 

planning and funding team 

leader Carol Horgan emailed 

the project manager, saying the 

CDHB was awaiting a letter 

outlining NTP’s commercial 

terms. 

The project manager 

responded, saying: “I am 

hoping a letter will be with the 

CDHB by the end of the week 

outlining our commercial terms. 

(Redacted) has promised me he 

will get this done asap … I am 

doing my best to try and get him 

to honour his promise … ” 

A week later, the senior 

manager wrote an email to 

CDHB chief executive David 

Meates, saying NTP had 

no option but to set out its 

commercial terms. 

The terms included project 

establishment, project budget, 

rent, the management of the 

development process and the 

general partner and shareholder 

agreement.

bus so I can 

plan my day.”

The senior manager said 

the terms were “no longer 

negotiable” and unless they were 

met, NTP could no longer be 

involved. 

He said the estimate for the 

project sat “well in excess” of the 

budget approved in principle by 

the CDHB. 

“We urgently require CDHB 

to review our preliminary design 

and confirm that it meets CDHB 

requirements or notify us of the 

changes necessary.” 

The emails released to Bay 

Harbour News came as the 

concept design for the 12-bed 

facility was released. 

The CDHB originally refused 

the OIA request, but was forced 

to release them following an 

investigation by the Office of the 

Ombudsman. 

The CDHB announced last 

week plans developed by Ignite 

Architects had been signed off. 

The 790m 2 facility would 

have three main areas – general 

practice, four flexi beds and eight 

residential care beds. 

On August 23 last year, 

Akaroa Structure Group 

chairman Alan Bradford 

emailed both Mr Meates and the 

NTP senior manager asking that 

they prioritise critical activities 

to progress. 

He said the CDHB needed to 

decide whether the rent review 

proposed by NTP was acceptable 

or not. If not, he said NTP would 

no longer be involved, and they 

would need to decide how to 

proceed. 

“In our view if NTP withdraw 

that is not the end of Akaroa 

Health Hub – potentially there 

are other options.” 

CDHB confirmed it would 

respond to the senior manager’s 

commercial terms after a special 

board meeting on September 1. 

A public meeting was held 

on September 6 so Mr Meates 

could discuss where the project 

was at. NTP said it would not be 

attending. 

Four days later, Ms Horgan 

invited CDHB, Akaroa Structure 

Group and NTP representatives 

to a “workshop” to discuss the

Hospital was

project budget. 

However, the project manager 

said NTP would prefer to 

wait to get confirmation from 

Mr Meates on whether its 

commercial terms would be met. 

By September 29, NTP sent 

out an email saying it had been 

unable to reach an agreement 

on “acceptable commercial 

terms” for the project from its 

perspective. 

“NTP believe the best outcome 

for this project is for NTP to step 

aside and for the community and 

CDHB to reach an agreement 

between the two parties.” 

Mr Meates told Bay Harbour 

News that NTP’s terms were 

“purely commercial” and not 

unreasonable. 

“However, given the need to 

deliver this health facility against 

very tight timeframes the parties 

were unable to get to a position

Moving along 

Banks Peninsula 

Walking Festival 

co-ordinator 

Sarah Pritchett 

talks about the 

importance 

of switching off from 

technology and getting 

active 

As a parent of two primary 

school-aged boys, I worry about 

how much screen time they get. 

One of the regular triggers of 

arguments in our household is 

when I tell one of the boys that 

their half hour on the iPad is up. 

They ignore me and so I resort to 

physically removing it and then 

hiding it. 

Studies here and overseas show 

that as parents, we can be justifiably 

concerned about “too much 

screen time,” with the average 

child in western countries being 

exposed to more than double the 

amount of recommended screen 

time for their age. 

In New Zealand, on average, 

16 to 24-year-olds spend 8.9 

hours a day consuming media 

on a variety of screens. This can 

result in academic, mental and 

behavioural issues and health 

problems. 

At the other end of the spectrum, 

the benefits of walking in 

nature are also well documented. 

Group walking in nature is associated 

with a range of mental 

health benefits, including 

decreased depression, improved 

well-being and mental health, 

and lower perceived stress. It can 

also build resilience and perseverance 

– when you get tired on 

a long tramp generally the only 

option is to just keep walking. 

With all this in mind, the advisory 

group for this year’s Banks 

Peninsula Walking Festival 

decided to target “screenagers” 

and provide a variety of walking 

opportunities for teenagers and 

children, including overnight 

tramps. But with 37 walking 

opportunities over the four weekends 

of November, there is a walk 

for every age-group and level of 

fitness. History buffs, photographers, 

sketchers, bird watchers 

and botanists are all catered for. 

So pick up a programme at 

your local library or check it out 

at www.bp.walks.co.nz and book 

a walk on http://www.eventfinda.co.nz/tickets/new-zealand/ 

tour/2016/banks-peninsula-walking-festival 

And those recommended 

screen time limits? One hour per 

day for children aged two to five 

and two hours per day for those 

aged five to 18.

Centre (isn’t that a magnificent 

addition to the causeway). 

Then there’s the Heathcote Community 

Centre and library, the 

start of the Sumner Community 

Centre, plus the beginning of the 

work to re-open the Evans Pass/ 

Sumner Rd from Sumner to Lyttelton. 

These developments lift people’s 

spirits and are great signs 

of the progress of rebuilding our 

city and community facilities. 

They should be celebrated not 

just as new buildings, facilities or 

structures, but as a recognition 

of the determination of our 

communities to work together, 

get the best design and plans, and 

deliver something that is fit for 

purpose for the future needs of 

local residents. 

Every new step is a tribute to 

the many local people who have 

worked hard to turn vision into 

reality. 

Our local businesses deserve 

to have a tribute paid to them as 

well. The last six years have been 

very hard on our business owners, 

as the population drop, street 

closures, parking disruptions and 

a lack of confidence diminishing 

the dollars spent has challenged 

them. 

Continued road works and 

traffic disruption is still challenging. 

But with the support of 

local residents, most of our businesses 

have survived. Many have 

changed the way they operate to 

adapt to the changed needs of 

their customers or to attract new 

customers. 

So please continue to support 

the local shops in your area – 

even when other options are 

available. We all have heard that 

old saying “you don’t know what 

you’ve got ‘til it’s gone” and if 

we don’t continue to support 

them, they may not survive in the 

future. 

That would be a loss for all of 

us.

Great news for 

Redcliffs School 

National List 

MP Nuk Korako 

talks about 

Education 

Minister 

Hekia Parata’s 

decision to 

move Redcliffs School to 

Redcliffs Park 

Hekia Parata announced last 

week that Redcliffs School will 

have a new home at Redcliffs 

Park. It’s great that the Redcliffs 

students, staff and parents 

now have certainty about their 

future. 

The Ministry of Education 

has carried out analysis on 

moving the school to McCormacks 

Bay Reserve, Barnett 

Park or Redcliffs Park, and 

rebuilding on the original Main 

Rd school site. The outcome was 

clear – Redcliffs Park is the best 

long-term location for a school. 

At Redcliffs Park, the school 

will have a larger site, the opportunity 

to share community 

facilities at the park and a site 

well away from the rockfall 

that has disrupted the previous 

school site. 

Part of the analysis that has 

been undertaken focused on the 

potential psycho-social effects 

on the children if they returned 

to the previous site. The investigation 

found that, although 

the risk of negative psychosocial 

impacts could be mitigated for 

most children, this would place 

additional responsibilities on 

staff to implement mitigation 

measures if the school remained 

on the site, and this cannot be 

guaranteed by the Ministry of 

Education or the current school 

board in the long term. 

The new site is expected to be 

ready by mid-2019, and Redcliffs 

School will continue sharing the 

site at Van Asch Deaf Education 

Centre until then. 

It was clear right from the 

beginning of my engagement 

with the school board and the 

community on this issue that 

it is very important to the Redcliffs 

community to keep their 

school, and this is something 

I have worked to convey to the 

minister. 

This positive outcome is a 

credit to the resilience and hard 

work of the school board, the 

teachers, the parents, and the 

Redcliffs community, and I 

acknowledge them for that. 

Rotary’s bid to beat polio 

• By Ferrymead Rotary 

SIXTY YEARS ago Bob Thayer 

was a four-year-old battling 

polio. These days he’s part of 

Rotary’s massive, worldwide 

drive to exterminate the 

crippling and potentially fatal 

infectious disease. 

Bob, now a Bay Harbour 

resident, had polio in his left arm 

and left leg during the outbreak 

that hit New Zealand in the mid- 

1950s. His father suffered similar 

symptoms from the disease at 

the same time. 

Recovery was “a matter of 

weeks” for both of them. Bob 

recalls headaches, vomiting and 

partial paralysis of his left leg. 

However, he did not warrant 

callipers and was able to walk. 

Another Ferrymead Rotary 

member, Roger Martyn, also had 

polio as a child – before he was 

one in 1942-43. 

Both escaped the worst of the 

disease that is caused by the 

poliovirus, which spreads from 

person to person, can invade the 

brain and spinal cord and cause 

paralysis. And both have escaped 

major, ongoing after-effects. Bob 

has had some leg problems (his 

brother maintains he “walks 

funny”) and suspects they are 

an inheritance from his polio. 

Certainly, his left side has been 

a bit weaker through adult life, 

and doctors have pointed to his 

polio as the cause. Roger has also 

had the occasional leg issue. 

Both have been part of 

fundraisers that have helped 

Ferrymead Rotary contribute 

regularly to Rotary’s Global 

Polio Eradication initiative. 

They are among the million-plus 

Rotarians who, over the last 32 

years, have raised more than 

US$1.5 billion for Rotary’s polio 

mission. All up, close to US$10 

billion has been raised by Rotary, 

United Nations agencies, governments 

and charities. 

Many Rotary volunteers 

have worked alongside UN and 

volunteer health professionals. 

Together, they have immunised 

more than 2.5 billion children in 

122 countries. 

The incidence of polio has

HEALTH 

plummeted 99.9 per cent in those 

30-plus years of hard slog – from 

around 350,000 reported cases a 

year in 1988 to 26 this year. The 

strategy is to immunise every 

child regularly until the world is 

polio-free. 

Attention is now turning to 

holding and consolidating the 

gains. A further US$1.5 billion 

will be needed over the next couple 

of years, and US$5.5 billion 

over the next six years.

SCHOOLS 

A group of Mt Pleasant School year 6 pupils fundraised 

money to buy trees for the coastal pathway. Year 5 and 6 

pupils have been doing a sustainability inquiry module and 

a number of pupils had the idea to contribute to the coastal 

pathway project. A working bee was held two weeks ago 

at Scott Park to plant the trees. The children had two cake 

stalls and raised a total of $317.50 to purchase the plants. 

Trees for Canterbury also donated to the cause. 

Children from Diamond Harbour School’s Te 

Kohanga visited the curator’s house at the 

Botanic Gardens to participate in the city council 

programme Casting Magic with Worms. They learnt 

how worms make compost from food scraps and 

every student made a worm farm to take home. 

A BRANCH OF 

FUNDRAISING: Mt Pleasant pupils held a bake sale stall to 

raise money for plants along the coastal pathway.

An organics gem in 

Advertorial 

the heart of Lyttelton 

Lyttelton’s Harbour Co-op has started the 

season with a classic spring clean – but with 

a twist. They have moved out the old and 

re-arranged the store to create a spacious new 

layout that invites customers into a warm, 

fragrant and abundant environment. 

“We aim to make organics affordable and 

available, by stocking a large variety of bulk 

products,” manager Lillee Star says. 

“This allows us to keep the prices competitive 

with supermarkets, often beating the nonorganic 

equivalent. We are also focusing on 

expanding our local product range. We love 

that we know where our food comes from, how 

it was grown and that it is seasonal.” 

The Harbour Co-op is a community-owned 

organic whole food store with over 210 

shareholder members. Eight employees and 18 

volunteers take care of running the business. 

It is a diverse team from all avenues of life, 

and their passion, knowledge and experience 

supports the co-op’s direction as a social 

enterprise that cares for the earth, for the 

people, and for fair distribution. 

As Lillee points out, nutrients have a big 

impact on our wellness. Eating organic whole 

foods, especially raw fresh fruit and vegetables, 

is the easiest way to start replenishing the body 

with the vitamins and minerals needed for 

optimal health, she says. 

“The heavy use of artificial fertilisers 

and pesticides is a normal practice within 

conventional agriculture, which is a major 

concern,” Lillee says. 

“This, along with other practices, kills the 

delicate life systems within the soil that provide 

all the vitamins and minerals that we need to 

eat in order to be healthy people.” 

Feedback wanted 

The Harbour Co-op is up for a challenge and 

would love to hear from their customers. They 

ask: 

* What does the supermarket offer that we 

don’t have in organic foods? 

* Is the non-organic product at the 

supermarket cheaper than our bulk option? 

* Are there locally produced items from a 

local business employing local people? 

* How we can serve you, our community? 

Give them your feedback by December 9 

and be in to win a voucher for 10 per cent off 

purchases at the Harbour Co-op. Email your 

answers to shop@harbourcoop.co.nz.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | NOVEMBER 2016 

EQC pays $495 million in the past year to 

settle Canterbury claims 

EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson 

The Earthquake Commission paid 

out nearly half a billion dollars to 

settle claims in Canterbury in the 

year to 30 June 2016, its recently 

released annual report shows. 

The annual report includes lots of detail 

about the work EQC has been carrying 

out in Canterbury in the past year. 

Figures in the report show that in the 

2015/16 financial year, EQC paid out 

$495 million in claims for the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquake sequence. 

This total was made up of $441 million 

for residential building claims (both for 

cash settlements and managed repairs), 

$46 million for residential land claims 

and $8 million for contents claims. 

IN THE 

FINANCIAL YEAR 

TO 

30 JUNE 2016 EQC PAID OUT 

$495 MILLION 

MADE UP OF $441 MILLION 

FOR RESIDENTIAL BUILDING CLAIMS, 

$46 MILLION FOR RESIDENTIAL 

LAND CLAIMS AND $8 MILLION 

FOR CONTENTS CLAIMS. 

EQC has now spent $9.4 billion 

(including claim handling expenses, 

excluding GST) in its response to the 

2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes. 

This sum has been financed from the 

Natural Disaster Fund and by the 

reinsurance cover EQC had negotiated 

prior to the earthquakes. 

EQC recovered about $444 million 

of the cost of Canterbury claims, 

largely from international reinsurers, 

in 2015/16. 

EQC also paid out $25 million for claims 

other than those from the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquakes. This includes 

$4.7 million for claims from the 

February 2016 earthquakes. 

AT 30 JUNE 2016, 

EQC HAD 

COMPLETED 

REPAIRS 

ON MORE THAN 67,000 HOMES, 

SETTLED 187,000 CONTENTS 

CLAIMS, COMPLETED CLAIMS 

FOR LAND DAMAGE TO 

66,000 PROPERTIES. 

In Canterbury, as at 30 June 2016, EQC 

had completed repairs on more than 

67,000 homes, settled 187,000 

contents claims and completed claims 

for land damage to 66,000 properties. 

“By the end of the year we aim to 

have cash settled the more than 

14,000 claims from the February 2016 

earthquakes,” says Chief Executive 

Ian Simpson. 

Mr Simpson reaffirmed EQC’s ongoing 

commitment to Canterbury in 2017. 

“In the upcoming year, EQC will 

continue to be present in Canterbury 

resolving remedial requests on 

properties where we have managed a 

repair. There is also a range of 

administrative and financial tasks to be 

completed.” 

AS AT 30 JUNE 2016, 

EQC HAD PAID OUT 

$9.4 BILLION 

IN RESPONSE TO THE 2010-2011 

CANTERBURY EARTHQUAKES. 

THIS MONEY CAME FROM THE 

NATURAL DISASTER FUND 

AND REINSURANCE. 

Mr Simpson says that EQC has adequate 

funds to continue to operate and to meet 

its financial obligations and settle claims. 

“There is always a high level of 

uncertainty when it comes to settling 

claims. For instance with home repairs, 

the true extent of damage may only 

become clear once repairs begin and 

tradies start ripping off weatherboards 

or lifting floorboards. 

IN ADDITION, 

AS AT 30 JUNE 2016 

EQC HAD PAID OUT 

$4.7 MILLION 

FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE 

FEBRUARY 2016 EARTHQUAKES 

IN CANTERBURY. 

“Because of this uncertainty, we have 

built a margin into our estimates of what 

the Canterbury claims will cost. 

“In the event that we did need to use all 

of this margin, the Crown has confirmed 

in writing that it will meet its obligations 

under the Earthquake Commission Act to 

ensure that EQC can meet all its liabilities 

as they fall due,” Mr Simpson says. 

The EQC Annual Report shows that EQC 

received about $280 million in premiums 

and spent $210 million on expenses, 

excluding claims payments and claims 

handling expenses for the 2010-2011 

Canterbury earthquake sequence. 

“Our largest expense was the $150 

million in premiums for reinsurance, 

which currently provides New Zealand 

with access to $4.69 billion in cover 

for natural disasters, once the cost of 

these events exceeds the deductible,” 

Mr Simpson says. 

A copy of the EQC Annual Report 

2015/16 can be downloaded from the 

EQC website. 

Canterbury students 

head to Chile for 

earthquake conference 

Five engineering students from University of Canterbury will be 

attending the World Conference on Earthquake Engineering 

(16WCEE) in Chile this January thanks to sponsorship from EQC and 

the NZ Society for Earthquake Engineers (NZSEE). 

EQC’s Research Strategy and Investment Manager Richard Smith says the 

sponsorship goes partway to supporting students and practitioners to 

attend the conference, which is the preeminent gathering of engineers 

involved in seismic resistant design. 

“WCEE is to earthquake engineers what the Olympics are to sport. This 

opportunity gives these students exposure to ideas and knowledge from 

around the globe as well as the chance to forge international connections 

that will be of value to their research and to New Zealand. 

“EQC plays an important role in funding and facilitating research about 

natural hazard risk. Part of that is making sure we have researchers within 

New Zealand who have the capability to undertake that research.” 

Mechanical engineering PhD student Jarrod Cook says the chance to 

attend 16WCEE will be invaluable. “I’m exploring ways a ratcheting, 

tension-only device can reduce the motion experienced by buildings 

during an earthquake, and therefore limit the damage and impact to 

people as well as enabling buildings to stay open after the event. WCEE is 

the premier conference in earthquake engineering so this is a great way 

to share my ideas, get critical feedback and see what others are doing.” 

WCEE is held every four years and provides attendees with the 

opportunity for a global exchange of knowledge, ideas, research 

results and practical experience. As well as students from Canterbury, 

EQC and NZSEE are jointly sponsoring the attendance of five students 

from Auckland University and four industry representatives from across 

New Zealand. 

From left to right: Jarrod Cook, Pavan Aninthaneni and Amir Malek are three of 

five University of Canterbury students heading to Chile for the World Conference 

on Earthquake Engineering this January.

ARA BUSINESS 

Upskilling leads to a 

rewarding retail career 

A change of mind and flexible study 

options brought Neil Chand to the job he 

loved. Four years ago Neil was in his last 

year of his biochemistry degree, when he 

decided to take a little break and save some 

money. 

“I ended up working in retail and it turned 

out I really liked it. I found out that it could 

be a career too and decided to pursue this 

path. I started working at the Warehouse 

Stationary in Papanui and loved it. I never 

regretted quitting my biochemistry studies.” 

Three years into his job Neil wanted to 

upskill to take the next step in his career. He 

enrolled in the six month, Level 3 Certificate 

in Retail at Ara Institute of Canterbury. He 

studied part-time, so he could combine his 

studies with his job. 

“I followed the in-house training at my job, 

but was looking for something more. The 

Ara Certificate in Retail gave a more general 

perspective on retail. My main takeaway was 

the leadership development. Being able to 

understand emotional awareness and deal 

with different behaviours. You learn to cater 

to any kind of employee and customer.” 

This skill turned out to be very useful as 

Neil was promoted to a leadership role as 

Assistant Store Manager after finishing his 

course. 

“An important part of my role is coaching 

the team. I’m motivating the team on 

the floor and making sure the customers 

are being looked after. I love making the 

customers happy, we’re there to provide 

solutions for them.” 

The retail programmes at Ara provide 

students with essential industry knowledge 

and skills for a strong start to a career in this 

sector. The options range from entry level 

qualifications to a degree, and part-time 

study options make it easy for people like 

Neil to upskill. 

For those who want to go further in 

their studies, options include the Bachelor 

of Applied Retail Management, which 

offers specialist knowledge and skills in 

strategic decision making, communication 

strategies, accounting and retail enterprise 

management. A 400-hour work placement 

helps students develop and practice realworld 

skills.

Sevens title shared 

• By Fraser Walker-Pearce 

A SERIES of three rugby sevens 

tournaments hosted by Sumner 

ended with joint winners. 

Tournaments were held on 

October 15, 29 and November 5, 

with the final of the three being 

played on Saturday. 

At the end of the final 

match in the last tournament, 

Christchurch and University 

clubs were tied on points – so the 

trophy was shared. 

Event organiser and Sumner 

player Lawrence Babe said the 

points accrued by both teams at 

the end of the third tournament 

were even, so “they’ll share 

the trophy and they’re joint 

winners.” 

In the first tournament, 

Sumner reached the bowl final. 

In the second, they reached the 

plate final, and they carried that 

form into the final weekend, 

again reaching the plate final. 

Babe said one of the stand 

out players for Sumner was the 

versatile Junior Taia, who can 

play in a number of positions in 

sevens and rugby union. 

“He’s a player that has come 

across from the Shirley team 

and he’s also in the Rarotongan 

sevens team. In sevens, he plays 

as a prop or hooker, and in 15s, 

he’s a centre or flanker. He had a 

bit of x factor,” he said. 

Of the 16 men’s teams and 

10 women’s teams competing, 

Sumner finished sixth overall. 

Due to the high number of

in their recent sevens series. 

teams, Sumner could not host 

the games where they originally 

intended. 

“We couldn’t run it at 

McCormacks Bay [Reserve]. So 

we ended up hosting it at Hoon 

Hay Park,” he said. 

Babe said Sumner came up 

against some tough opposition, 

not least those that had travelled 

from out of the city to play. 

“We played up to five games 

a day and that adds up pretty 

quickly. The toughest out there 

was probably Southbridge. They 

brought in a pretty sharp side 

with a few good Fijian players. 

Some of them have grown up 

with sevens as almost a national 

game in Fiji,” he said. 

SPORTS 

Heathcote chase down 

Sumner in one-day match 

HEATHCOTE PUT a stop to 

Sumner’s unbeaten run in 

one-day cricket on Saturday. 

In their last 45-over one-day 

match, Sumner triumphed over 

New Brighton and were looking 

to continue that form away 

against Heathcote. 

It wasn’t to be though. Heathcote 

won the toss and sent Sumner 

in to bat, but the only batsman 

in Sumner’s lineup to score 

more than 20 runs was captain 

Johnny Beveridge, notching up 

54 from 48 deliveries. 

The game, played at Heathcote 

Domain, saw Sumner all out 

for 183, just before the 45-over

limit, thanks to a strong bowling 

performance from Dan Fielding, 

who took three wickets for 29 

runs. 

In response to Sumner’s 

total, Heathcote batted strongly 

throughout Sumner’s bowling 

attack and kept their chase at a 

high run rate. 

Sumner’s stand-out bowlers 

were medium pacer Dan Vann 

and spinner Jonny Percasky, 

who both took two Heathcote 

wickets. 

But in the end, it wasn’t 

enough as Heathcote reached 

the target of 184 in the 42nd over 

with five wickets still remaining.

Tips for untreated 

hearing loss 

Hearing is a sense that many of us 

take for granted. Throughout our lives, we 

subject our ears to loud sounds–music, 

power tools, lawn mowers, air travel– 

without using ear protection. regrettably, 

this can cause hearing loss. also, the 

natural aging process generally results 

in hearing loss. even certain illnesses 

and medications can adversely affect our 

hearing. Unfortunately, hearing loss that 

occurs from such causes is permanent. 

The good news is, even if you already 

have a little hearing loss, it’s never too 

late to preserve your hearing for the 

years ahead. The first thing you can do is 

protect your ears in noisy environments. 

Shop scan 

also, avoid using cotton swabs to clean 

your ears. and, make it a priority to get 

a baseline hearing screening to see if 

hearing loss has already occurred. 

if hearing loss is found during your 

hearing evaluation, it could be due to 

excess ear wax or infection. This type of 

hearing loss is reversible. if hearing loss 

stems from chronic exposure to loud 

noise, aging, or certain illnesses and 

medications, hearing aids are the best way 

to preserve your good hearing. 

The great news about today’s hearing 

aids is how small and easy to wear they 

are. Modern digital hearing aids use 

super-tiny microprocessor technology– 

making them virtually invisible when 

worn. Hearing aids can help almost all 

degrees of hearing loss–from a little to a 

lot. and, by stimulating your brain with 

sound that might not otherwise reach it, 

hearing aids help keep your brain active, 

which lowers your risk for cognitive 

diseases, such as dementia. 

if you suspect you may have hearing 

loss, don’t ignore it. neglecting a hearing 

loss can have a snowball effect–making it 

grow bigger, faster than necessary. 

Here are 10 ways you can limit hearing 

damage and preserve good hearing: 

1. Understand the sound levels of the 

noises in your environment. 

2. Learn about proper ear protection. 

There are many kinds on the market 

today, ranging from custom ear molds to 

foam plugs and more. 

3. Put physical distance between you 

and loud noise when it is present. if 

possible, stand at an angle from the noise, 

not directly in front of it. 

4. Take breaks when you are exposed 

to noise. 

5. When listening to music through 

headphones or earbuds, keep the volume 

low-to-medium. 

6. Know the signs of hearing loss, and 

measure yourself against them. 

7. schedule a baseline hearing 

evaluation. Hearing loss is on the rise 

among Baby Boomers and young people. 

it’s never too early to get your hearing 

checked, but don’t wait past age 50. 

8. Have your hearing evaluated by a 

professional licensed by your state. 

9. if you have hearing loss caused by a 

reversible condition, take steps to 

correct it. 

10. if any permanent hearing loss is 

diagnosed, choose hearing aids to slow it 

down, and preserve good hearing. 

it’s never too early to get your 

hearing checked, but don’t wait 

past age 50.

REAL ESTATE 

It’s plain to see... 

3 Plains View, Mt Pleasant 

Auction: 24 November 2016, Unless Sold Prior 

3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # FM5016 

Why my owners have enjoyed the nine 

years they have spent living in this special 

home. However family commitments 

necessitate a move and they have 

purchased elsewhere meaning an urgent 

sale is required. 

The property is tucked down a private 

lane and gives nothing away from the 

road, so you will need to come inside to 

appreciate what the home offers. 

Once inside you will be mesmerised by 

the awesome expansive views out across 

the city and through to the stunning 

Southern Alps. The sunsets and city night 

lights guarantee a spectacular outlook both 

night and day. 

The home offers a functional layout ideal 

for families or couples that desire privacy, 

space and who love to entertain. The large 

new kitchen is a knock out and will delight 

the cook in the family with tons of storage. 

The living and dining areas, take in the best 

of the view and open to a deck where you 

will surely be tempted to take time out at 

the end of a busy day and relax and bask in 

the late sun. 

The home has been tastefully updated, 

with two new bathrooms and renovated 

throughout. 

The three downstairs bedrooms are very 

generous doubles, master with ensuite and 

walk in robe plus a fourth bedroom or 

study is located on the upper living level. 

The location is idyllic with private 

outdoors grounds and sheltered from the 

prevailing easterly. Mt Pleasant offers a 

wonderful lifestyle for all ages, with Mt 

Pleasant School nearby and Ferrymead 

shops and cafes at the bottom of the hill. 

My owners have given very clear 

instruction, they want the home sold, so 

enquire today. 

Auction Date: Thursday 24 Nov 1:00 

p.m. (In rooms) Unless Sold Prior
