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

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

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
• By Annabelle Dick
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

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

should expect to be stopped
for lights when going either up

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

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
• By Annabelle Dick
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.

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

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.

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

News
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,

Wheatsheaf Hotel and now restored and operating as a smithy,
can be seen on the right.
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.”

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
• By Annabelle Dick
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
encountered ongaonga and
muddy tracks with no dry way
around – and most of them had
a cold dip in the stream to wash
the mud off.

‘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!

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).
On a day-to-day basis, the team at
Ferrymead Accounting are seriously
passionate about ensuring that their
clients have the opportunity to thrive and
succeed, and take pleasure in supporting
clients on their individual journeys to
success.
Chris says that he is proud to offer
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
advice. Rather than being prescriptive
and trying to fit clients into a particular
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
Club member Russ Fergus gifted
a $500 cheque to Redcliffs

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 council. And in Lyttelton, a
lovely celebration of the Sumner
Rd retaining wall – yes it has
been a long time but it was a really
big job!
It is the silver lining from the
quakes and assets we can be
proud of going into the future.

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

the two hour mark in 1h 59m.
Nathan Jones and Katherine
Fitch also completed the
Luxmore Grunt, having both
changed to this shorter event
as a result of injury. Nathan
was 45 th overall and Katherine
63 rd overall.
The strong Sumner Running
Club presence in this
highly-competitive and sought
after event continues the long
history of solid performances
by club members, both past
and present, at the Kepler

Warm greetings to

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
awards in 2016 than any other high school.
Present at the ceremony, held
in October were the following

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

third generation tangata tiaki.

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.

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.
