Groups meet over tsunami 

• By Annabelle Dick 

KEY ORGANISATIONS and 

residents have met to discuss 

the tsunami response 

debacle after last month’s 

7.8 magnitude earthquake 

caused confusion over the 

evacuation. 

A community meeting 

was held on Monday for 

Civil Defence and emergency 

services to address 

confusion around what to 

do after an earthquake and the 

evacuation process.

The meeting was initiated 

by the Sumner Volunteer Fire 

Brigade after tsunami sirens were 

not activated until about 

two hours after the November 

14 earthquake. 

Hundreds of residents 

did not evacuate their 

homes until sirens 

sounded and the fire 

brigade drove the streets 

telling people to go to 

higher ground. 

“Do not wait for sirens 

and do not wait for people to 

tell you to leave. A strong earthquake 

is the only information 

you need to get gone,” Sumner 

Volunteer Fire Brigade deputy 

chief fire officer Darren 

Wright said. 

A national review has 

been promised which will 

look into problems like the 

communication failure 

that meant national Civil 

Defence was telling people 

along the coast to evacuate 

while local Civil Defence 

was not. 

It will also look into why the 

tsunami sirens were only acti-

earthquake. About 200 people 

attended the meeting at Sumner 

School. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community 

Board member Darrell 

Latham said it was a 

well-co-ordinated effort 

and the organisations 

showed a unified front. 

“I think as a result of 

the meeting people better 

understand and feel 

better prepared for any future 

event.”

City council head of Civil

Alicia Palmer spoke about tsunami 

awareness, sirens, evacuation 

zones and how to be prepared. 

Residents were also advised 

to have a survival kit, check on 

neighbours and go to the highest 

ground possible. 

Said Mr Wright: “Go to your

News....................................3-10 

DON’T WAIT for the tsunami 

sirens if there’s a decent quake. 

Get in your vehicles and head 

as fast as you can up the nearest 

hill – and that fairly commonsense 

action could save you and your 

family’s life. 

A meeting this week (see page 1) 

organised by the Sumner Volunteer 

Fire Brigade in the aftermath 

of the tsunami siren debacle when 

the Kaikoura quake struck has put 

some timely structure into a fairly 

fragmented plan. 

Kudos to the Sumner fire team 

for organising the meeting and 

pulling all of the interested parties 

together. 

In the event of a big quake in 

South America, we’ll be fine, as 

there is plenty of time to determine 

if a tsunami is coming. 

If a big quake hits off our shore 

we will have 10min at the most 

to get to higher ground. – Barry

Tension at Magazine Bay 

BAY HARBOUR 

In Brief 

PAGE 3 


A JUMPING platform has been 

proposed for Magazine Bay to avoid 

conflict between swimmers and yacht 

owners. 

Lyttelton residents Arthur Collins 

and son Tom Collins made a deputation 

at the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board about conflict between 

teenagers using the yacht club’s wharf. 

Both Dr Collins and his son said 

there had been stand-offs between 

the two parties as teenagers preferred 

using the longer private wharf instead 

of the short public wharf. 

Mr Collins suggested creating a 

higher jumping platform to stop 

swimmers using the private wharf. 

“Dad and I were thinking if we 

pushed the barbed wire gate four 

metres seaward then we could open 

up that high platform to the public 

and put in a ladder in that space, so 

swimmers could jump off and climb 

back up without getting in the boaties 

way,” he said. 

There are two wharfs at the bay; one 

is open to the public and the other is a 

private wharf administered by Naval 

Point Yacht Club. 

There is a wire fence blocking the 

taller private wharf but swimmers 

could still access it via a ladder at the 

end of the wharf near moorings. 

The community board made a 

resolution on Monday to ask the city 

council to undertake a report and see 

if it was possible to relocate the fence. 

Mr Collins said he’d heard yelling 

and cussing between teenagers and 

boat owners when they used the 

private wharf. 

The pair also said there had been 

thefts from boats. 

Dr Collins suggested creating a 

jumping platform like Wellington 

Harbour’s Taranaki St Wharf jump 

platform. 

He said it could stop people from 

accessing the private wharf and would 

ease the problem between mooring 

owners and swimmers. 

“It would be nice to come up with 

a solution here and diffuse all the 

tension that’s been building every 

summer,” he said. 

Senior Sergeant Stephen McDaniel 

said Lyttelton police were aware of the 

concerns people have around swimmers 

using the jetties at Magazine 

Bay. 

Naval Point Yacht Club commodore 

Dave Anderson said he was unaware 

of the issue but was willing to talk to 

concerned residents about addressing 

the issue. 

The city council feasibility report is 

due back in January.

a jumping platform should be 

installed at Magazine Bay?

REVAMP FOR PARK 

Scarborough Park will be 

revamped as the city council 

asks residents for ideas on 

what to do with the recreation 

area. The playground at the 

park, on Heberden Ave, has 

reached the end of its lifespan. 

It was created in the 1960s. The 

city council wants residents 

views on the existing park and 

possible ideas for the draft 

landscape plan. It has $150,000 

available in the next financial 

year to create a development 

plan for Scarborough Park and 

construct a new playground. 

Any further works, once the 

new playground is built, will 

depend on future funding 

availability through the city 

council’s Long Term Plan and 

may be staged over future years. 

Submissions close tomorrow at 

5pm. 

ONE LANE FOR EVANS PASS 

Evans Pass Rd has been 

reduced to one lane due to 

retaining wall repairs. The 

route is being controlled by 

traffic lights and road users 

should expect to be stopped 

for lights when going either up 

or downhill. Contractors are 

expected to have finished the 

repairs by December 31.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | DECEMBER 2016 

The year ahead 

A message from outgoing EQC chief executive 

Ian Simpson 

The Kaikoura Earthquake has been an unwelcome 

reminder of the sheer power and unpredictability 

of geological forces and of New Zealand’s 

vulnerability to these. 

The earthquake has also highlighted yet again 

the resilience of New Zealanders in the face of 

natural disaster. 

At EQC, it’s also reminded us that every natural 

disaster affects communities in different ways. So 

while we have learned a number of lessons from 

Canterbury 2010-2011, our response to the 

Kaikoura Earthquakes will be different. 

One of the key things we learned from 

Canterbury is that we should have put more 

time early on into building relationships with 

customers, community groups, local 

Courtesy of Tonkin + Taylor 

Don’t wait to hear from 

EQC – lodge your claim 

Most people seen by EQC in the first 

weeks since the Kaikoura 

Earthquake of 14 November have 

wanted help lodging their claims 

and advice on how to get emergency 

repairs underway to get them back 

into their homes. 

EQC Customer and Claims General 

Manager Trish Keith says that having 

organised three teams on rotation into 

the most impacted areas of Ward, Waiau 

and Kaikoura to help lodge claims, 

provide information and answer 

EQC-related questions, EQC is being 

kept up to date on customer needs. 

“One of the lessons out of Canterbury 

was that people wanted information 

and the opportunity to talk to someone 

about their issues as soon as they could 

after an event, so we have ensured that 

our response to Kaikoura includes 

personal contact,” Mrs Keith says. 

“The teams have been dealing with 

hundreds of customers one-on-one. 

Many people have been asking EQC 

when someone from EQC will visit 

them, so they will know what to do 

next. My advice is that they go ahead 

and lodge the claim first. Don’t wait for 

anyone to visit. 

“Go ahead and lodge your claim to 

ensure you are in the system, and any 

earthquake damage found later can be 

added. If you fail to lodge a claim 

before 14 February 2017, we won’t be 

able to help you so best to lodge the 

government, and government agencies 

and insurers. 

We are heeding that lesson as we plan our 

response to Kaikoura. We’ve had staff on the 

ground in Kaikoura, Ward and Waiau to help 

customers lodge their claims and answer EQC 

related questions. The information our people 

are picking up from those areas is being fed back 

into our planning. 

The work we are doing now will mean that in 

2017 we will be putting in place the team we 

need to deliver a response tailored to the needs 

of customers impacted by the Kaikoura 

Earthquake. This team will be part of the new 

structure we have developed to also carry on the 

remaining work in Canterbury in 2017. 

While we are working very hard on responding to 

Kaikoura, we also know we have to keep focussed 

on resolving the final Canterbury claims. 

I’m stepping down as EQC’s chief executive at 

the end of this year. I want to thank people of 

claim,” Mrs Keith says. 

The next steps about claim assessment 

and settlement are still the subject of 

ongoing negotiations with private 

insurers. EQC is confident it will have 

news on this soon. 

EQC has been prioritising the 

vulnerable and the most damaged 

homes for visits, as needed. 

All EQC teams are working out of 

Recovery Assistance Centres set up by 

Canterbury Civil Defence Emergency 

Management in Ward, Waiau and 

Kaikoura so Government agencies and 

non-government agencies could deliver 

consistently across areas of need. 

If you have any questions about 

your existing claim or want to lodge 

a new claim: 

• Visit www.eqc.govt.nz/claims 

• Email info@eqc.govt.nz 

• Phone 0800 DAMAGE (326 243) 

The EQC call centre is open 7am to 

9pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 

6pm on Saturdays. 

To prepare for making a claim, 

remember to have on hand: 

• Information about what damage 

occurred 

• Photographs showing the damage 

and any urgent work that was done 

• Your insurance policy number and 

name of your insurance company. 

Courtesy of NZ Fire Service 

Canterbury for the support we have received, 

and at times for your patience. I acknowledge we 

didn’t always get everything right but we have 

learned from that. I also want to acknowledge the 

EQC staff who worked very hard to support the 

Canterbury recovery. 

Looking ahead, it’s clear 2017 will be another 

year of challenges. I’m confident that EQC will 

rise to meet those challenges. 

2017 changes 

From later this month, EQC will be the main point of 

contact for all customer enquiries relating to Canterbury 

Home Repair Programme (CHRP) repairs. 

Until now, customers have dealt with EQC and/or Fletcher EQR 

– depending on what stage their repairs have been at. But, from 

16 December, EQC’s 0800 number (0800 326 243) will be the 

main number for all customers – including those whose 

properties are in the current sub-floor review, who will be 

transferred to the Fletcher EQR staff focussing on that work. 

No delays are intended or anticipated, but personnel changes 

due to the completion of about 68,400 first-time CHRP repairs 

may mean some customers will have a different contact person 

at EQC or EQR in 2017. 

EQC’s General Manager Customer and Claims Trish Keith says 

these customers will be advised of any changes and provided 

with new contact details. 

“We don’t want customers who currently have a contact 

person at EQC or EQR calling us and only then finding out that 

someone else is looking after their claim.” 

She says any changes will be limited to EQC and EQR 

personnel, and repair work will be carried out by contractors 

that have already worked for the home repair programme and 

are familiar with EQC’s systems and quality expectations. 

Most CHRP contractors will finish work for the year on 

23 December and resume work from 9 January. 

EQC’s Contact Centre hours will be: 

• Friday 23 December: 7am-5pm 

• Saturday 24 December – Tuesday 27 December: CLOSED 

• Wednesday 28 December – Friday 30 December: 8am-5pm 

• Saturday 31 December – Tuesday 3 January: CLOSED 

• Normal hours will resume on Wednesday 4 January 

(7am-9pm Monday-Friday; 8am-6pm Saturday)

Positive 

response to 

February 2016 

settlement 

process 

90 percent of claims from the February 2016 

earthquakes have been settled. 

EQC’s February 2016 Event Response Manager, 

Jayne Lapin, says of the 13,879 claims received for the 

14 and 29 February earthquakes and subsequent 

aftershocks, EQC has resolved 12,440 (90 percent) 

by cash settlement worth a total value of $46,039,854 

“Customers have appreciated the approach we have 

developed and implemented in response to the 

February earthquakes.” 

The new approach uses both on-site and phonebased 

assessments, and allows customers to influence 

the pace of settlement by giving them the opportunity 

to provide earthquake damage data and 

photographic evidence. 

Thanks to a robust period of planning in advance and 

with customers providing information up front, claims 

have taken an average of three weeks to reach 

settlement from assessment. 

Customers who have been through the process have 

been surveyed and nearly 90 percent of those who have 

taken part have been positive about their experience. 

Ms Lapin says EQC had hoped to resolve all February 

2016 claims by the end of the year but it has suited 

some customers to defer their assessment to 2017, 

meaning a small number remain open and will be 

closed early next year. 

Land settlements 

update 

Almost all land claims will be resolved by the end 

of the year but there will be some customers who 

will get their settlement in 2017. 

At the end of December 2016, out of a total of 

approximately 73,000 green zone properties we 

expect to have resolved 97% of them. This means we 

have either made payments to customers or advised 

them that they don’t qualify for the types of land 

damage known as Increased Flooding Vulnerability 

(IFV) and/or Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV). 

“We’ve been working to get an answer to all land 

customers waiting to hear from us this year. While we 

have worked hard to ensure that customers have 

received their land settlement, we are conscious that 

some are still waiting”, says EQC’s Head of Customer 

and Claims Trish Keith. 

“These are the last of the most complex claims that 

we need to settle and we will do our best to continue 

to deliver robust settlements which can give 

homeowners confidence that all properties have been 

assessed fairly and consistently”, says Mrs Keith. 

“Looking back on the year, we would also like the 

opportunity to thank all land customers, community 

groups and many other stakeholders, who are also 

supporting our customers, for their patience and 

understanding as well as taking the time to come to 

our community meetings on land settlements or 

hosting us and providing us with their feedback”, 

concludes Mrs Keith. 

The EQC website remains a good source of 

information for land customers who want to find out 

more about IFV and ILV land damage, which are a 

world-first. Please visit www.eqc.govt.nz/IFV or www. 

eqc.govt.nz/ILV.

Bid to boost 

Civil Defence 

network 

CIVIL DEFENCE will be 

boosted in Little River and 

Birdlings Flat after residents 

living near the sea had nowhere 

to evacuate to after the 7.8 

magnitude earthquake on 

November 14. 

Because Birdlings Flat does 

not have any community facilities, 

residents had nowhere to 

stay while they were evacuated 

from their homes when a 

tsunami warning was in place 

following the earthquake. 

Nearby Little River was out of 

the tsunami area, so it did not 

have any facilities open. 

The city council is looking at 

building Civil Defence volunteers 

in those areas. 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board chairwoman Christine 

Wilson is pleased to see action 

being taken. 

“Around in the smaller bays a 

lot of residents were evacuated 

so there needs to be a plan in 

place and somewhere for them 

to go,” Ms Wilson said. 

“In Lyttelton, we work with 

Civil Defence so they need that 

scenario across the peninsula as 

well so there needs to be further 

clarity.” 

Outdoor eating goes 

UPGRADE 


AN AKAROA restaurant 

owner is fighting for the right to 

use Rue Lavaud’s footpath for 

outdoor seating. 

The Little Bistro owner Richard 

Uttley was told to remove 

the furniture outside his restaurant 

last Wednesday by the city 

council due to health and safety 

reasons. 

He’s annoyed as the restaurant 

has used the footpath for 

outdoor seating for the near 

25 years The Little Bistro has 

existed. 

“It’s highly disappointing that 

our business and our beautiful 

village is restricted by the 

stupidity of pencil pushers,” Mr 

Uttley said. 

While renewing the liquor 

licence for The Little Bistro 

on Rue Lavaud, city council 

staff told Mr Uttley he needed 

a licence agreement to use the 

foothpath as an outdoor dining 

area. 

“We applied for a licence and it 

came back is a no so we’ve had to 

remove them as of immediately,” 

Mr Uttley said. 

All public areas that are in 

private use for outdoor dining 

need a licence agreement. 

For a business to gain a 

PULLED: The Little Bistro can no longer offer outside 

dinning at their restaurant . 

licence, there needs to be at least 

3m of footpath available with 2m 

available for pedestrians. In areas 

of low pedestrian frequency 

it can be discretionary. 

There’s just under 2m of foothpath 

available outside The Little 

Bistro. 

“It’s detrimental from a financial 

point of view, especially 

when we’ve only got three to 

four months of good trading 

a year – those tables are pretty 

vital,” Mr Uttley said. 

Mr Uttley says the fight isn’t 

over yet and he’s determined to 

get seating back outside for the 

summer months. 

“We will either try get the 

lease to use the outside area then 

apply for a liquor licence back, 

or hopefully we could come to 

some sort of sensible solution 

other than just a flat no,” Mr 

Uttley said.

In Brief 

FOR CHURCH 

The city council has upgraded 

Lyttelton’s St Saviour’s at Holy 

Trinity Church heritage status. 

The church has been given 

Conservation Covenant Consent 

approval for Heritage New 

Zealand to upgrade it from a 

category 2 building to a category 

1 building. That means the 

church will be upgraded from an 

historic place with historical or 

cultural significance or value to 

being of special or outstanding 

significance.

•From page 1 

When to evacuate was also discussed 

and organisations pressed 

residents to take initiative and 

leave their home after a long or 

strong earthquake. 

“We really want to get that 

message across that if the ground 

shakes for longer than one minute, 

or if it’s so violent you find it 

hard to stand up then you need to 

evacuate,” Mr Wright said.

to meet with other residents’ associations

Wheatsheaf Hotel flooded 

Author Jane Robertson talks 

about her magnificent book 

Head of the Harbour, the history 

of local jetties and natural 

disasters she discovered while 

researching for the book 

Over the five years in which 

I’ve been working on Head 

of the Harbour: A History of 

Governors Bay, Ohinetahi, 

Allandale and Teddington, 

I’ve interviewed local residents 

and ex-residents, scoured old 

newspapers and institutional 

archives and been given 

access to a fascinating array 

of letters, diaries, photos and 

other material from private 

collections. The following 

account, which draws on 

material from the book, focuses 

on a few of the stories relating 

to the jetties at the head of the 

harbour. 

Everyone knows the iconic 

‘long jetty’ at Governors Bay. 

First built as a short jetty in 1874, 

it was extended in 1915 and 

again in 1927 because increasing 

upper-harbour silting meant that 

the jetty was able to be used by 

steamers bringing day-trippers 

from Lyttelton only at high tide. 

At the time of the 1915 extension, 

Eddie Radcliffe was going 

to school in Governors Bay. 

After class the children would 

rush down the jetty, where there 

was a trolley on railway lines 

that transported materials to 

the construction end. The workmen 

would allow the children 

to get into the trolley and push 

themselves up and down. No 

health and safety to contend 

with then! The long jetty is soon 

to be rebuilt, as a local initiative, 

following earthquake damage. 

However the stories of other 

jetties are less well known. 

For example, on August 15, 

1868, an earthquake of about 

magnitude 9, offshore from the 

Peru–Chile border, generated the 

largest recorded distant tsunami 

to strike New Zealand. Around 

4.00am a wall of water surged 

up Lyttelton harbour. At the 

Head of the Bay (Teddington), a 

substantial 300-foot jetty, built 

only six years before to transport 

produce, particularly for the 

Manson and Gebbie families, 

DAMAGED: The ‘long jetty’ in Governors Bay, damaged and off-limits since the 2011 

earthquakes, will be rebuilt under the direction of the Governors Bay Jetty Restoration Trust.

was completely washed away, 

along with the boats moored at 

the jetty. 

The most powerful earthquake 

of the twentieth century, off the 

coast of Chile on May 22 1960, 

measured 9.5 on the Richter 

scale. In the late evening and 

early morning of the May 23 

and 24, the first of many tsunami 

waves began to reach New 

Zealand’s east coast. In Teddington, 

about midnight, David 

Gebbie heard a rumble like an 

approaching earthquake, went 

outside and found water lapping 

around his house. Daybreak revealed 

the extent of the damage. 

Waves had travelled as far inland 

as St Peter’s Church. The ground 

floor of the Wheatsheaf Hotel 

was covered in three feet of water 

and empty beer barrels had 

floated away from the outhouse. 

The road from the bottom of the 

Allandale hill to the Wheatsheaf 

was a quagmire with receding 

water still running across it in 

places and dead and exhausted 

sheep lying along its length. 

One farmer lost about 200 sheep 

from paddocks on both sides of 

the road - the force of the tidal 

wave carried the animals out of 

their paddocks and into a nearby 

property. Fences were destroyed 

and ditches blocked. Flounder, 

conger eels and red cod lay in 

the paddocks. Dogs chained to 

their kennels were drowned. The 

Press reported the Wheatsheaf 

proprietor Mary Packer managed 

to keep up a supply of beer 

which was welcomed by locals as 

they strove to clean up the mess, 

though their efforts tended to be 

thwarted by fresh tidal surges 

coming through.

BAY HARBOUR 

PAGE 7 

after powerful earthquake 

At Sandy Bay, Graeme Small 

saw the harbour empty out: 

“I was about 11 or 12 … I 

looked out – hmmm, it’s a low 

tide, there’s no water. And it 

was right out as far as the end 

of Quail Island. Quail Island 

was high and dry… I rushed 

inside and said, ‘Oh, there’s no 

water.’ ‘What d’you mean?’ I 

said, ‘There’s no water in the 

harbour, it’s all gone.’ They said, 

‘Rubbish.’ They came out and, 

‘Oh, where’s it gone?’… Woooof, 

back up it came. I took the day off 

school – I bunked it. My parents 

didn’t know until late in the day. 

I took a sugar bag … down to 

Māori Gardens. There were fish 

stranded on the beach. I took the 

sugar bag and got flounders and 

sole…” 

Seeking a deeper water access 

to Governors Bay, where steam 

craft such as the John Anderson 

could berth, the Lyttelton Harbour 

Board built another wharf, 

in March 1883, at Percevals Point 

(now the point off Sandy Bay). 

This jetty was known variously as 

Small’s jetty, Percevals Point jetty 

and Sandy Bay jetty. Today only 

the piles remain. The narrow 

track that now runs from Sandy 

Bay round to the remaining jetty 

piles was once a busy official 

road providing access to the bay 

for cargo and visitors. However 

HISTORIC: Visitors enjoying the Governors Bay foreshore. The 

Sandy Bay jetty can be seen in the distance.

the jetty was dismantled in 1938 

following a tragic incident. 

Two young Christchurch boys 

were fishing from the jetty. One 

lad, walking backwards while 

unwinding his lines, fell in. Local 

resident Angus Small pulled him 

out of the water but the boy died. 

His family attempted to sue the 

Lyttelton Harbour Board because 

the jetty had been constructed 

without railings at the end so that 

cargo could be loaded. 

Accidents of a different sort 

could occur on the harbour. 

Gladys Robertson recalled a 

frightening childhood experience 

when she and her sisters were 

returning from Lyttelton in January 

1907: 

“Margaret wanted to come 

home on Purau but I loved John 

Anderson and insisted on going 

on her. I think the Captains must 

have had an argument on who’s 

boat could go the fastest. Well 

we got out the moles, with Purau 

hot on our stern. John took a 

straight line for the short wharf 

and we expected Purau to go to 

the long wharf, but she got up a 

great speed and took off for Quail 

Island. We sat on the seat and 

watched and when she swung 

round and faced us her bow was 

right out of the water with speed,

she came straight at us, but poor 

kids we thought she would turn 

off, but a deck hand rushed along 

& pitched us along to the cabin & 

told us to go in the cabin quickly 

and stay there. With that there 

was a splintering crash & poor 

old John lay on her side with 

Purau half over us. She slid back 

into the sea & backed off & set 

off happily for her destination. 

Our engines were not damaged & 

we crawled in to the short wharf 

w[h]ere we were hurried off.” 

The need for sea transport 

waned as road access to the head

of the harbour improved. Of the 

approximately seven jetties that 

were once in use between Teddington 

and Sandy Bay, only the 

long jetty remains, earthquake 

damaged and marooned at midlow 

tide. The rebuilding of this 

jetty will restore a much-loved 

piece of maritime history to the 

local community and the citizens 

of Christchurch.

Controversial 

bus stop 

approved 

A CONTROVERSIAL bus stop 

outside Wakefield Ave businesses 

will be installed in spite of pleas 

from business owners. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

approved to move the existing 

southbound bus stop on the 

bend of Marriner St and 

Wakefield Ave to 1, 5, 7 Wakefield 

Ave. 

It was due to sit outside Sumner 

Pharmacy as part of the Sumner 

Village Centre Master Plan but 

businesses owners contested it as 

it would effect parking and create 

more noise. 

The city council generated a 

report in response and suggested 

another six options but listed 

relocation 50m north as the 

preferred option. 

That will see the bus stop 

moved in front of other 

businesses – Beachside 

Convenience, Stoked Surf Shop, 

IndiMex Restaurant and Retreat 

Apartments. 

The bus stop installation will 

see the removal of three on-street 

car parks outside the stores. 

Construction is proposed to 

start in March and will take 

about five months. 

Fence draws criticism 


REDCLIFFS residents are 

angered over ‘prison-type’ 

fencing that’s been installed 

along Moa Bone Point Cave. 

The city council installed a 2m 

safety fences along the cliff side 

of Main Rd to keep people out of 

the dangerous rockfall area last 

month. 

Redcliffs Residents Association 

says the spear posts make it 

look aggressive and obtrusive. 

“It’s unnecessary. This strikes 

us as complete overkill and they 

had the choice to do something 

a little less aggressive,” secretary 

Pat McIntosh said. 

Fencing has been installed at 

Moa Bone Point, and will also 

be installed at Shag Rock Reserve 

and Wakefield Ave, from 

Nayland to Paisley Sts as part of 

the Sumner Lyttelton Corridor 

project. 

Residents have fought the 

fence installation since the 

project’s designs were released 

as they felt a 2m fence was too 

imposing. 

The residents association 

instead fought for a 1.2m poolstyle 

fence with hazard signs 

instead of the proposed fence. 

After public consultation 

in June, the city council went 

ahead with installing the 2m 

pool-style design in spite of 

submissions against it. 

City council general manager 

city services David Adamson 

said the consultation was only 

on the style of fencing, and the 

decision on the spear top was 

made after consultation. 

But Dr McIntosh says the city 

council didn’t indicate spears 

would be a part of the design. 

“The consultation process 

looks like sham because they’ve 

put up a different style fencing 

from what they pictured in the 

consultation,” Dr McIntosh said. 

Mr Adamson said the aluminium 

spear top pool-style fencing 

was chosen as the rod top poolstyle 

fencing wasn’t available 

from a local manufacturer. 

“Local manufacture is important 

as we may need to replace 

panels in the future due to damage 

and we needed to be able to 

quickly source matching panels 

to ensure the area remains safe 

with people not able to easily 

access the hazardous areas,” he 

said. 

He added it wouldn’t be feasible 

to remove it due to the cost. 

The residents association has 

written to the Linwood-Central- 

CORDONED 

OFF: A 2m 

fence is being 

installed along 

the Sumner 

Lyttelton 

Corridor to keep 

people out of 

the rockfall 

area. It has 

been called 

an eyesore by 

residents.

DONE AND DUSTED: Shipping containers have been removed 

at Peacocks Gallop on Main Rd. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Main Rd now free 

from containers 

SHIPPING CONTAINERS that 

have lined the route to Sumner 

for the past five years are finally 

gone. 

The last container of about 160 

at Peacocks Gallop was removed 

on Monday. 

Shipping containers were 

placed at Peacocks Gallop and 

several other sites after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake 

to protect road users from slope 

instability hazards from the cliff 

face. 

The city council said remediation 

works have been completed 

to a stage where the containers 

are no longer needed. 

The road was protected by 

containers until high-grade mesh 

wire could be installed to mitigate 

rockfall risk. 

The mesh acts as a curtain 

draping over the cliff and in the 

event of rockfall, it will fall underneath 

into a catch pit instead 

of towards the road. 

The remediation works were 

done by Land Information New 

Zealand as part of the Sumner 

Lyttelton Corridor re-opening 

programme. 

A 2m fence will also be 

installed next year at Peacocks 

Gallop to keep people out of the 

hazardous rockfall area. 

SUMMIT: Diamond Harbour’s Korimako and Kotuku classes reached the summit after a four 

hour trek uphill. 

Hot, hilly trek for pupils 

DIAMOND Harbour School’s 

year 5 Korimako class joined 

the Kotuku class for a trek up 

Mt Herbert. 

It began as a hot morning 

and the pupils faced a long day; 

beginning at 8.30am and not 

returning until 4.30pm. 

It was a long and steep walk 

that took four hours to ascend 

to the summit and 3.5 hours to 

descend. 

The climb started at Orton 

Bradley Park and they took 

a new track created by Pete 

Ozich. 

On the way down, some students 

chose to take the 

gorse route down, however, 

this was proven not to be a 

shortcut. 

To end the journey pupils

‘Tis the Season 

Market Comment with Craig Prier 

In a flash Christmas is almost upon us. That time of 

year when everything must be done with a cut-off 

date in mind before businesses close down and 

families go on well-deserved holidays. 

It’s been a year with all the usual twists and turns 

and the real estate market has been no exception. 

Changes in LVR’s, a further reduction in the OCR, a 

softening of the rental market have all played their part in 

shaping the market to what we have today. Throw in a serious earthquake and 

some initial concerns around insurance cover then it’s not hard to realise we 

live and work in an ever-changing environment. 

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families of North Canterbury who have 

been so devastatingly affected by the events of the November 14 earthquake. 

It’s a tough time for so many people especially leading up to Christmas. 

Ray White Ferrymead would like to thank you for your business this year, and 

wish you and your families happy holidays and safe travels if you are getting 

away over the festive season. We look forward to the challenges that 2017 

will bring, and hope wherever you are it’s with great friends and family. Merry 

Christmas! 

A Little Ray of 

Giving - please 

donate to our tree 

We have begun our collection 

for A Little Ray of Giving this 

year, and have had some 

fantastic community support 

already! Sumner, Redcliffs 

and Mt Pleasant Schools 

are all working towards 

collecting together with us, 

and helping to teach children 

in our community about 

the gift of giving, as well 

as receiving at this time of 

year. Any gifts are gratefully 

received from now until Dec 

20th in our office, and until 

the last day of school on Dec 

16th, if dropping off there. 

We warmly welcome new agents to our office... 

Eddie Spry has worked in our office for the 

past few months, gaining his real estate license. 

He brings with him a wealth of customer 

service experience working within the butchery 

industry for the past ten years. Eddie has been 

a dedicated surf lifesaver for the past seven 

years, he is now a member of the Sumner 

Surf Lifesaving Club and looks forward 

to spending time in and around the 

community over the coming months. 

Dan Newburgh is the newest member of our team, he 

has been working alongside Matt Clayton, one of our top 

performing agents, gaining valuable insight into how to 

achieve premier status, and consistently achieve 10/10 

service. Dan has substantial work experience, with his 

last role as a general manager of a successful South 

Island commercial cleaning company. Dan’s natural 

enthusiasm for property is infectious, and he is 

excited to be able to provide top level customer 

service to his clients. 

Merry Christmas from all the team at Ray White Ferrymead!

Ferrymead Accounting goes from 

strength to strength 

Due to continued growth in the area and support from local 

businesses and individuals, Ferrymead Accounting moved to larger 

premises earlier in the year to 11F Settlers Crescent in Ferrymead. 

In addition, owner and director Chris McMullon has hired a further 

member of staff, Jules Lee, to assist with operations and if things 

continue will be looking to employ a third staff member in the next 

few months 

Chris McMullon 

Jules Lee 

Chris is delighted to confirm his 

commitment to the local community by 

entering into a long-term lease in this 

thriving and vibrant area. 

As part of this commitment, Chris 

also sponsors a fledgling new not-forprofit 

community initiative, Time Banks 

Aotearoa New Zealand, currently held 

under the banner of Project Lyttelton 

(for more information on this, see www. 

timebank.org.nz).

a friendly and personable service to 

clients, sharing his great depth of 

business knowledge gained from many 

years working in New Zealand and the 

United Kingdom. 

Chris embraces a holistic approach to

model, he listens to his clients’ needs, 

goals and ambitions to ensure that the 

services provided are tailor-made for 

each individual client.

ASSET: Deputy mayor Andrew Turner speaks at the 

hand-over of the new fire tanker. 

Firefighters receive 

new tanker 

A NEW fire tanker that can 

handle Banks Peninsula’s roads 

has been given to the Governors 

Bay Rural Fire Force. 

The tanker was commissioned 

by the city council’s Rural Fire 

Authority and has been purpose-built 

to suit the Port Hills 

and Banks Peninsula terrain. 

The tanker replaces an old 

appliance that was used in 

Governors Bay for almost 16 

years and was handed over by 

deputy mayor Andrew Turner 

last Sunday. 

City council principal rural 

fire officer Darrin Woods said 

the new tanker would be used 

for emergencies not only in 

Governors Bay but throughout 

the wider Lyttelton Harbour 

Basin and Banks Peninsula 

areas. 

“As we head into the summer 

months it is a great to know the 

that Governors Bay Voluntary 

Rural Fire Force has a fit-forpurpose 

tanker in their arsenal 

of fire-fighting equipment,” Mr 

Woods said. 

KIND GESTURE: Countdown Eastgate customer service 

manager Jenny Small and Salvation Army’s Major Paul 

Herring have teamed up to make Christmas easier for 

struggling families. They have joined forces to help 

Christchurch families by providing vital food assistance as 

part of the Christmas Food Rescue Appeal. The supermarket 

is urging shoppers to help feed local families in need 

by making a food donation in-store in specially marked 

Christmas food rescue trolleys, a cash donation at the 

checkout or an online donation at The Foodbank Project. 

Countdown Eastgate also donated $500 worth of groceries. 

Gifts wanted 

for needy 

families 

AT A time of year when the gift 

of giving is in the spotlight, the 

team at Ray White Ferrymead 

are doing their bit to help 

out families who are in a less 

fortunate situation than others. 

It’s the second year they are 

taking part in the community 

charity initiative ‘A Little Ray 

of Giving’ and they’re aiming 

to making this year bigger than 

last! 

“We’re partnering again this 

year with Christchurch City 

Mission to distribute gifts,” said 

Ray White Ferrymead principal 

Craig Prier. 

“With the outstanding support 

from the beach, hill and harbour 

suburbs last year our office collected 

the most gifts of any Ray 

White office in New Zealand! 

This year we’re aiming to keep 

that top spot and are once more 

calling on the local community 

to embrace the giving season 

and dig deep for those who need 

it most.” 

To help spread the Christmas 

cheer, it’s as simple as taking 

something suitable for a child or 

teenager into the Ray White Ferrymead 

office until December 

22, and stashing it under the 

Christmas tree.

I love travel- to enjoy different cuisine,

Library back in business 

Redcliffs 

Volunteer 

Library subcommittee 

member Jan 

McLauchlan 

talks about 

the opening 

of the new facility after 

the original library was 

damaged in the 2011 

earthquake 

The new Redcliffs Library 

building was opened by the 

Mayor of Christchurch Lianne 

Dalziel on December 2 and the 

first customers were welcomed in 

last week. 

Library staff have been 

delighted to see many familiar 

faces coming in to look through 

the distinctive new building that 

they’ve watched take shape over 

the last few months. 

The opening was the culmination 

of 5½ years of perseverance 

by a small but determined group 

of volunteers, led initially by Jan 

McLauchlan then for the last two 

years by Tuula Rapley, and including 

at various times Suzanne 

Craig, Nicola Holdaway, Eddie 

Hayes, Rose Phillips, Bronwyn 

Goldschmidt and Pauline Peterson, 

always with the support of 

local MP Ruth Dyson, the rest 

of the library committee and a 

team of over 30 librarians. 

At first the library planned 

to relocate a house and develop 

it but the involvement of the 

city council (thanks to Cr Yani 

Johanson who has supported our 

project from day one – without 

him the project would not have 

happened) meant a purpose-built 

facility could be constructed. 

The building, owned by the 

city council but an autonomous 

volunteer facility, was designed 

by Greg Young and built by City 

Care Ltd whose attention to detail 

and pride in their work was 

outstanding. 

The library has a great stock of 

books including new releases each 

month and there is a special focus 

on children’s and young adults’ 

reading. There are comfortable 

chairs and beanbags where customers 

can relax and read. 

We welcome new customers to 

become members of the library 

– there is just a small charge 

for adults’ books which may be 

borrowed for three weeks or for 

DVDs for one week. The librarians 

are all volunteers and are 

happy to recommend books for 

you. 

Everyone involved is excited to 

have the library back in the heart 

of the community and we look 

forward to many more people 

sharing this stunning new facility 

with us. 

$500 donation from Lions 

THE FERRYMEAD Lions 

Club has contributed towards 

the building of the new 

Redcliffs Library. 

Club members presented a 

$500 cheque to library staff at 

a ceremony last month. 

Redcliffs Library subcommittee 

members Jan 

McLauchlan and Tuula Rapley 

accepted the cheque and also 

spoke about the rebuild. 

“The team have worked 

extremely hard,” Lions club 

member Neville Barrie said. 

Redcliffs Library was officially 

opened on December 

2 by city councillors Yani 

Johanson and Sara Templeton, 

Port Hills Labour MP Ruth 

Dyson, library patron David 

Cox, library sub-committee 

members Jan McLauchlan 

and Tuula Rapley and Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel. 

Mr Barrie is also inviting 

community-minded people 

to join the Ferrymead Lions 

Club by phoning him on 384 

4558. 

THANKFUL: Ferrymead Lions

CELEBRATION: The opening of the Redcliffs Library. 

Plenty to celebrate 

Port Hills 

Labour MP 

Ruth Dyson 

talks about 

projects 

wrapping 

up in the 

community 

There have been so many 

celebrations within our communities 

over the last couple of 

weeks. I think it will send us into 

Christmas in exactly the right, 

positive frame of mind – well I 

certainly hope so! 

Recent events have included 

the opening of the beautiful 

Beachville seawall. Fantastic 

crowd of people and local 

students with both stalls selling 

their own goods and busking! 

The local construction team, 

Seipp Construction won not just 

one but two awards for this work 

– best in their category as well 

as best overall in the Canterbury 

Contractor of the Year award. 

Well done! 

And nearby Redcliffs Park 

hosted home all the runners and 

walkers in the Summer starter – 

great to see so many people just 

having a good time – and raising 

money for excellent causes as 

well! 

The proposal for the park to be 

the site of Redcliffs School came 

as a shock to nearby residents 

who are very supportive of the 

school returning to Redcliffs but 

did not expect the park to be the 

site. 

I have asked the Ministry of 

Education and the council to 

“join up” rather than run two 

separate processes, because 

people need all the information 

so that they can contribute to the 

process in the best way possible. 

If they get just slices of information 

at a time, it is much harder 

to make that contribution. 

My suggestion has been accepted 

and I look forward to 

a comprehensive community 

briefing about the entire process 

and options in the near future. 

And of course we have had 

the opening of both Redcliffs 

Library and Heathcote community 

centre and library, both 

significant assets and a real tribute 

to the input and tenacity of 

local people working alongside

THE KEPLER Challenge is 

one of New Zealand’s draw 

card events and typically sells 

out within minutes of online 

entries opening. 

The strength and talent of 

the Sumner Running Club 

was demonstrated by the 

number of club runners who 

competed in both events and 

the high-ranking places that 

they achieved. 

In the 60km Kepler Challenge 

event, Vajin Armstrong, 

who was competing in the 

event for the fifth time, was 

the first of the Sumner Running 

Club members to cross 

the line, taking out second 

place overall in a blistering 

time of 5h 1m. Next across 

the line in 13 th place overall 

and first in the 40+ age group 

was David Fitch, who was 

competing in his first Kepler 

Challenge and ultra-distance 

race in a time of 5h 49m. 

Hot on his heels was Simon 

Wooding, who put in a very 

solid run crossing the line in 

17 th place overall in a time of 

5h 57m. David Slater crossed 

the line in 28 th place overall in 

a respectable time of 6h 20m. 

Slater declared not long after 

finishing the event that he already 

had his eye set on a subsix 

hour goal for next year. 

John Fitch, who made his 

return to the Kepler after an 

absence of 10 years, completed 

the event in 6h 41m taking 

out first place in the 50+ age 

group. The two Fitch brothers 

took out first place in the 40+ 

and 50+ age groups. 

Lisa Brignull was the only 

female Sumner Running Club 

member in the 60km race. 

Brignull put in an outstanding 

performance, completing the 

distance in 6h 45m, which 

placed her seventh women 

overall and second in the 40+ 

age group. Brignull’s run was 

made all the more remarkable 

given she had three days 

notice before the race that she 

had won a place to run in the 

event. 

Across in the 27km Luxmore 

Grunt, there was a tough 

battle being fought for the top 

three places. Last year’s winner 

and Sumner Club member, 

Tane Cambridge, put in 

a very strong performance to 

cross the line in fourth place 

this year sneaking just under

Nathan Jones and Katherine

It is with pleasure that am able to report to our 

community that Linwood College has had a 

most positive year. 

It has been a year of significant busyness 

reflecting the growth and positive nature 

of the wider environment: significantly 

increased academic achievement, community 

consultation for our redevelopment and 

whole-school rebuild, our third year of 

providing education at Year 7-13, curriculum 

and teaching changes for a connected and 

pathwayed curriculum, digital learning 

and the daily bedrock practices of positive, 

learning-focused relationships. At Linwood 

College the individual matters. 

Education is a vast field and terms 

like ‘modern’ and ‘innovative learning 

Six Duke of Edinburgh Gold Awards 

This year has been an extremely successful 

year at Linwood College for many of senior 

students who have completed their Duke 

of Edinburgh Hillary Gold Award, a highly 

distinguished achievement and one which 

represents a culmination of many years of 

effort, both physically and mentally. 

Gold Awards were presented by the 

Governor-General of New Zealand - 

Right Honourable Dame Patsy Reddy 

environments’ and ‘21st Century learning’ are 

being regularly used in the media. Linwood 

is clear-eyed about the forms of education 

that work for our students. We are focusing 

on ‘flexible learning environments’ so that 

learning can be individualised and students 

see pathways for themselves that engage and 

inspire. It is not about ‘traditional’ or ‘modern’, 

but personalisation so the systems adapt to 

the learner, not the other way round. 

Common sense and formal research are 

united and very clear on the attitudes, 

skills and knowledge that lead secondary 

school students on to a successful postschool 

pathway, both in tertiary study and in 

employment, and it is the daily focus on these 

attributes, principally through our SEaRCH 

values – Service, Excellence, Respect, 

Curiosity and Honesty – that is at the heart of 

our school. 

Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive 

season and summer holiday. 

Richard Edmundson - Principal 

with Linwood College receiving more

Our People 

Tasman Gillies 

Maori environmentalist follows 

Tasman Gillies, 27 of Ngāi Tahu (Ngāti Wheke), is a third 

generation tāngata tiaki and guardian of Lyttelton Harbour. 

Annabelle Dick talked to him about his work and how he 

almost followed a completely different career path 

You work for Ngāi Tahu, can 

you tell me about what you do? 

I’m an environmental advisor 

– mahinga kai monitoring and 

enhancement for Ngāi Tahu. 

You’re also tāngata tiaki – 

what does that mean and what 

do you do in that role? 

Tāngata tiaki are guardians 

responsible for managing fisheries 

resources. In regards to 

my role as tāngata tiaki, it’s an 

ongoing thing. It’s the legislative 

side so it’s a ministerial appointment. 

Effectively we manage 

the mātaitai (an identified 

traditional fishing ground with 

special status) and issue customary 

fishing permits for the ngāti 

wheke area. In the harbour, ngāti 

wheke is a representative on the 

Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Catchment 

Management Plan so I’m 

the science advisor for that. 

You’re a third generation 

tāngata tiaki, can you tell me 

about your family and their 

involvement? 

My pōua was involved in 

the establishment of the first 

mataitai reserve at Rapaki. The 

whole purpose is a recognition 

of rangatiratanga and the 

relationship with the traditional 

fishing grounds and customary 

fishing management within the 

mataitai. They were made the 

first ever tāngata tiaki. 

Did having the family connection 

prompt you to follow it 

as a career? 

It definitely influenced it, but I 

didn’t go to university intending 

to study it or come out involved 

in this area. My Dad’s a GP so 

I went down to study medicine 

and in the first year I knew it 

wasn’t for me. I’m not sure if I 

would’ve got into my second 

year, but regardless, I didn’t want 

to do it. Funnily enough, I told 

my dad and he laughed and said 

“good, because I didn’t think 

you wanted to do it, but I didn’t 

want to influence your decision.” 

I laugh at that because I could’ve 

saved myself a year but, at the 

same time, I had to realise it. 

I changed course and ended 

up gravitating towards marine

science and work associated with 

mahinga kai. 

Did you learn a lot about your 

family in the process? 

Yes. You start to run into 

people that used to know my 

pōua and talk to them. The 

people I work with now at Ngāi 

Tahu worked with him when 

he was alive and, being an iwi, 

some of them are related to him 

as well so you hear stories. You 

definitely learn the technical 

things like dates and specific 

legislative parts and what 

mātaitai is and taiapure. 

Considering the involvement 

your pōua had, do you feel any 

pressure to live up to his name? 

Not at all – if anything it’s 

more understanding about what 

he wanted. The process that him 

and Henry Couch were involved 

with, and what they did to get 

the mātaitai in place, it was a 

lengthy process. For me, it’s 

about understanding what he 

wanted to achieve because Ngāi 

Tahu always uses the saying 

“Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri, ā muri 

ake ne,” which means “for us 

and our children after us.” It’s a 

pretty straightforward concept. 

Knowing my pōua was involved 

in that whole process, and being 

third generation tāngata tiaki, it’s 

quite a literal thing for me. In his 

mind, he wanted to sustain the 

fisheries and have management 

over it so our generation could 

too. It comes back to the concept 

of kaitiakitanga, or kaitiaki, 

which means guardianship 

or stewardship over the 

environment. Ngāti Wheke 

is my hapu, so that’s Rāpaki. 

Our area is Lyttelton Harbour 

or Whakaraupo and because 

I whakapapa back to there, 

kaitiaki or guardianship is also 

a responsibility – so our world 

view is we have a responsibility 

to take care of it as well.

The Pilgrim: Soldier. Hostage. Survivor. 

by Colin Maclachlan 

I was naked, handcuffed, and blindfolded. All around me, the 

voices of my captors shouted continuously in my ear – a stream 

of Arabic I couldn’t understand. It became an endless mantra 

as I struggled to work out what had gone wrong – what had 

happened that landed me up in this horrible situation. I could feel 

warm blood running down the back of my head, mixing with the 

sweat and dust that already caked my body. My head throbbed

THIS BOOK 

from the repeated pistol barrel and rifle butt jabs. It felt like the onset 

of a migraine, that kind of numbing pain that lets you know the fun’s 

about to really start. Things took the express lift from bad to absolutely 

horrendous… there seemed a real finality in the tone of what they said. My stomach sank… 

Colin Maclachlan is instantly recognisable as the granite faced Scot who formed part of the 

elite ex special forces team in the hit Channel 4 TV series SAS: Who Dares Wins. During his 

22 years in the armed services, he faced danger and death on many occasions and The 

Pilgrim is his action-packed autobiography. Growing up with an abusive parent, he was 

forced to sign up for the army at the age of 15. After 10 years in the Royal Scots, he was the 

first in his regiment in 20 years to pass the selection process for the SAS. Over the next 12 

years he established a reputation as one of the most talented members of the elite special 

force. He worked alongside MI5, MI6, 14 Int, GCHQ, SBS, CIA, Delta Force and Seal Team 

6 – one of the few to have contact with all these departments. As a trained hostage negotiator 

and rescuer, he was part of the notorious Operation Certain Death in Sierra Leone and was 

the first sniper on the scene of a hijacked flight at Stansted. He was then on the other side of 

a rescue mission when he was taken hostage in Basra in 2006 and brutally beaten before 

being rescued by British troops. The Pilgrim is more than just a Boy’s Own story. It is a 

heartfelt exploration of what it means to be a modern soldier, to work in the SAS, to have a 

gun held to your head, to see your friends die beside you – all in the line of duty. 

I Won’t Be Home for Christmas 

by Amanda Prowse 

Romance blossoms in New Zealand when a lonely mother visits her grown up daughter 

at Christmas. 

While her free-spirited daughter travels the world, Vivienne prepares for a lonely Christmas in 

Bristol, with her best friend Ellen and her ancient dog Bob. Then a letter arrives that changes 

everything. Vivienne’s daughter is getting married in New Zealand, and she wants her mum and 

Ellen by her side. But out on the rugged coast of Tutukaka, the sea sparkles, romance beckons 

– and Vivienne falls under the spell of another life. Will she leave everything she holds dear for 

a chance at happiness? Or will her daughter be the only one to fall in love this Christmas?

in his grandfather’s footsteps 

HOME: Tasman Gillies is at home in the harbour. 

Being tāngata tiaki is not so 

much about continuing his 

legacy – it’s more what I should 

be doing anyway. The kaitiaki 

concept isn’t exclusive to Maori, 

I think people should have a responsibility 

towards the environment 

and take care of it because 

we’re being trusted to take care 

of it while we’re here for future 

generations. 

Did you grow up at Rāpaki? 

We moved to Rāpaki when I 

was nine. I was born in Australia 

and lived in a little town called 

Alstonville near Byron Bay. Both 

of my parents are Kiwi and I 

have two older sisters. We kind 

of grew up in the bush – we 

lived in a big valley and the next 

neighbour was a kilometre away 

so we had all the room to play 

around but we had to be careful 

because it was Aussie. We knew 

we were Maori but, in Australia, 

we were absent from the culture 

in a sense. When I moved here, it 

was a big learning curve. I think 

that was why our parents wanted 

us to move back to see those 

things. 

What does your family do? 

My mum and dad still live 

in Rāpaki – he’s a doctor. My 

sister works for the Ministry of 

Education, but she was previously 

a Maori teacher at Lincoln 

High School. My other sister is a 

dentist in Masterton. 

What was it like moving to 

Rāpaki? 

It was a shock initially. You 

can know you’re Maori but then 

someone goes “oh you’re Maori, 

do you want to be in the Kapa 

Haka group?” I didn’t even know 

what that was. People look at 

you funny because they know 

things about your culture that 

you don’t. But in saying that, my 

sister became a Maori teacher. 

It’s been a massive learning 

curve but also a really good one. 

It’s more than the acknowledgement 

I’m Maori now. Now I’m 

part of it. 

Where did you go to school? 

I went to Lyttelton West then 

Cashmere High School. 

I heard you were head boy, 

too? You kept that one quiet. 

Yeah I was . . . that was a laugh. 

Do you have any hidden 

talents? 

I won the dance competition 

at the work Christmas function 

out of like 300 people. I don’t 

know what kind of dancing I 

was doing and when and where I 

picked it up . . . I just free-styled. 

I think I picked it up from those 

Step Up films from years ago. I 

was dressed as The Wiggles with 

a few of the guys from work. 

What do you do for fun? 

I love surfing and skiing and I 

used to do waka ama, too, which 

is outrigger canoeing. 

Have you travelled overseas? 

In 2014, after I had submitted 

my masters thesis, I went to 

Canada. I lived in Whistler for a 

year working at the bar and on 

the mountain and just skied and 

had fun. I had a good time and, 

by the end of the year, I came 

back wanting to make use of my 

degree and be more involved in 

something besides living paycheck 

to paycheck. 

Were there any bear encounters? 

Yeah, walking through the 

village early morning and I was 

still quite tired and went through 

the forest section in the valley. 

I looked up and there’s a beer 

standing just in front of me. He 

didn’t really care so I just turned 

around cause I didn’t want to 

deal with it. You get them everywhere. 

They’re quite clever so a 

lot of the door handles are knobs 

because they know how to open 

the levers. Stuff like that I wasn’t 

used to. The raccoons were 

hilarious but they’re the weirdest 

creatures that waddle around.

don’t like beer - no worries. Just ask for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine instead. Then relax on the deck 

after a great day’s golf. 

That’s it, just pick up that phone and make the call…. 383 0307.

REAL ESTATE 

Experience the magic of Clifton 

22 Tuawera Terrace, Sumner 

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 2 living areas | 1 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing # FM5018 

Homes like this on the lower slopes of 

Clifton Hill are seldom available, especially 

ones so tastefully revitalized. 

Nestled in a family-friendly street, this 

property really sings with an uplifting 

seaside energy. Crisp, clean lines and 

interesting angles feature throughout the 

thoughtfully configured house. Beautifully 

polished floors, new carpets, and fresh 

colours complement the dynamic and 

breathtaking views over Pegasus Bay and 

the city, across to the alps and Kaikouras. 

Large, sun-soaked living areas flow onto 

multiple sea-facing decks offering plenty 

of options for family time and year-round 

entertaining. Four north-facing bedrooms, 

two with ensuites, give you the option of 

either guest accommodation or a work 

from home scenario with the lower level 

having separate access, ensuite and private 

deck. The sunny, contemporary kitchen has 

views to the ocean and cleverly connects to 

the dining/living area. 

The expansive, flat lawn and established 

sub tropical garden with mature 

native trees, offers a private, sheltered 

microclimate with spaces for all the family 

to enjoy. As well, a large internal access 

garage has excellent storage capacity and 

an adjoining study nook is ideal for office 

or hobbies. 

The location is superb with the wonders of 

the ever-developing Sumner and Redcliffs 

at your doorstep. Only a few minutes walk 

down handy tracks and you’re at the beach 

and Sumner Village, with its eclectic mix 

of cafes and restaurants, beach culture 

and highly desirable school options. Don’t 

miss this property that has been a muchloved 

family home for 22 years. Now is the 

time to pounce on a true piece of Clifton 

paradise.
