Big plans for sleepy Church Bay 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

A PUBLIC meeting will be 

held next week to discuss 

concerns over a plan to build 

a commercial development in 

sleepy Church Bay (above). 

Spence Developments is proposing 

to build a supermarket, 

four shops, a coffee shop, and a 

30-seat cinema on the 8311m 2 of 

land at 139-143 Marine Drive, 

behind the On The Spot store. 

Plans show there would also 

be 111 car parks, which could 

be accessed from Marine 

Drive and Patiki Pl. 

The developers are also 

considering reopening a 

petrol station on the site. 

The resource consent 

application is expected 

to be lodged with the city 

council next month. 

The meeting will be 

held at Diamond Harbour 

Community Hall on Tuesday, 

Richard 

Suggate 

October 17, at 7.45pm. 

Developer Doug 

Spence, planning consultant 

James Hook and 

architect Dean Grant 

will speak about the 

proposal. 

Diamond Harbour 

Community Association 

chairman Richard Suggate 

said neighbouring 

properties had received 

pamphlets about the plan last 

week, which caused a “stir”. 

“This is sleepy little Diamond 

Harbour.” 

Mr Suggate said people would 

welcome more shops if they 

could get the business, but the 

population was growing slowly. 

“People come to Diamond 

Harbour because they’re looking 

for something different from 

town,” he said.

FEARS PASSENGERS will 

injure themselves while 

getting on and off the ferry at 

Diamond Harbour Wharf has 

prompted staff to look into what 

improvements can be made. 

Black Cat 

Cruises told the 

Banks Peninsula 

Community 

Board about 

the difficulty 

of passengers 

boarding and 

disembarking the 

ferry from the 

Paul 

Milligan 

Diamond Harbour side. 

Chief executive Paul Milligan 

said there was no ramp leading 

onto the ferry, so the passengers 

had to climb down steps. 

There was a risk of passengers 

falling between the wharf and 

ferry into the water, he said. 

“We’ve just identified with the 

number of people we’re carrying 

across there, getting on and off 

the boat at the Diamond Harbour 

side is not quite as easy as 

we would have liked.”

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 

Wednesday October 11 2017 

FROM 

THE 

EDITOR’S 

DESK 

SLEEPY CHURCH Bay may not 

be so sleepy anymore. 

We reveal today (see page 1) 

plans to build a commercial 

development there which would 

include a supermarket, four shops, 

a coffee shop, and a 30-seat cinema 

behind the On the Spot store. 

There would also be 111 car parks. 

And needless to say the plans 

are causing a stir. 

If you read the feedback (see 

page 10) to our article last week 

over an idea to turn the failed 

Maori Village site at Ferrymead 

into a dog park, then it’s a nobrainer. 

The verdict is unanimous – dogs 

should be let loose on the site. 

Readers also have given the 

thumbs up to the re-opening of 

the Redcliffs Dairy. 

It’s all about the ice creams and 

of course Minod Vinod’s great 

service.

Ferry parking fight continues 

• By Emily O’Connell 

MORE OPTIONS will be 

looked into before bus parking 

is decreased at the Diamond 

Harbour Ferry terminal in 

Lyttelton. 

It follows a decision by the 

Lyttelton Port Company to 

reduce bus parking spaces from 

three to one and not provide a 

pick-up/drop-off zone. 

An urgent meeting was held 

by the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board with the LPC, 

Environment Canterbury and 

the city council on Monday. 

It was decided 

at the meeting 

that the LPC and 

ECan would look 

into more options 

and come back to 

the board in a few 

weeks’ time. 

Peter Davie 


Residents’ 

Association 

chairman Richard Suggate said 

the further investigation is good 

but he’s not pessimistic nor optimistic 

about the final outcome. 

He said the LPC should put 

the public interest above their 

own. 

Community board member 

Jed O’Donoghue said he’s 

pleased other resolutions will 

be considered but ultimately the 

DECISIONS: The Lyttelton Port Company and ECan are going 

to look into more parking options near the ferry terminal.

board don’t have the final say. 

“At the end of the day we can 

only influence them because its 

their land,” he said. 

An online petition calling for 

better public access to the Diamond 

Harbour ferry terminal 

has attracted more than 230 

signatures in two weeks. 

Set up by the Diamond Harbour 

Residents Association, the 

petition calls on the city council 

and Environment Canterbury 

to “ensure that within 100m of 

the Diamond Harbour ferry 

terminal, there is adequate bus 

parking on the Lyttelton wharf 

and that there is a drop-off/pickup 

zone for private vehicles.” 

Mr Suggate told a board meeting 

two weeks ago that the LPC’s 

refusal to provide a drop-off 

zone would force the infirm, 

disabled or with heavy parcels, 

to walk from Norwich Quay. 

Port company chief executive 

Peter Davie said LPC staff met 

with the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board on July 31. 

Mr Davie previously said the 

they are working with ECan to 

ensure it has minimum impact 

on current services and it will 

not affect ferry users at all. 

He said an upgrade of the existing 

Diamond Harbour Ferry 

facilities will take place at the 

same time as the LPC staff car 

park is being built adjacent to 

Waterfront House and the work 

should be completed before 

Christmas. 

“We will work with Black Cat 

Cruises to enable people to have 

access. If there are particular 

items that require to be around 

50m closer to the ferry terminal 

than they can achieve via the 

stairs, then we will accommodate 

them through the port,’’ Mr 

Davie said. 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan said they had 

been involved with discussions 

about the issue with LPC and 

ECan. 

“An ideal site is to move us 

down to the west end with the 

new marina, which will be new 

and there will be room for buses 

to move around. But we’re not 

going to get that in the near future 

so we just need to make the 

best of the facilities we currently 

have.” 

He said that was part of LPC’s 

long term plan, but would take 

time to come into fruition. 

PROPOSAL: The area where a 

new complex may be built. 

Big plans for

•From page 1 

“Seeing something that kind of 

looks like a downtown shopping 

mall is a bit of a shock and not 

really what people appreciate.” 

Plans for the development show, 

once completed, it is intended the 

operators of the On The Spot store 

would become proprietors of the 

supermarket. 

Landscaping would include red 

beech, pohutukawa and cabbage 

trees. Timber fences would be 

built along the boundaries to 

reduce sound for next door 

neighbours.

History on show in garden tour 

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE GOVERNORS Bay House 

and Garden Show is back for the 

first time in 11 years. 

Homes and gardens large and 

small make up the 13 on show, 

including several which have undergone 

major post-earthquake 

repairs. 

The self-guided tour includes 

recently restored St Cuthbert’s 

Church – built between 1960- 

62, it is one of the oldest stone 

churches in the country. 

It was designed by George 

Mallinson, who was also the 

architect of the Holy Trinity 

Church in Lyttelton. 

Waitahuna, the original Dyer 

homestead in Governors Bay is 

also part of the tour, along with 

one of New Zealand’s finest formal 

gardens, the internationally 

significant Ohinetahi owned by 

Sir Miles Warren. 

Ohinetahi Homestead was 

built in 1864 and has been 

restored after suffering serious 

damage in the September 4, 

2010, earthquake. 

One of the PTA organising 

committee members, Felicity 

Robertson, said it was very generous 

of the owners to include it 

in the tour as it is normally $15 

to visit.

Community board keeps Sumner pool afloat 


THE SUMNER community 

pool committee’s finances 

will stay afloat after a 

recommendation not to give 

it funding for repairs was 

dismissed. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

unanimously decided last 

week to grant $4000 to the 

Sumner Community Pool 

Inc towards the cost of fixing 

leaks. 

Originally city council staff 

said the application requesting 

$6688 did not fit the criteria 

for the board’s discretionary 

response fund because it was 

“capital works”. 

Staff recommended 

the board decline 

the request. But at 

the board’s meeting, 

city councillor Yani 

Johanson moved a 

motion to grant money 

from the fund anyway. 

He said the $4000 

grant was in line with 

what the group received 

last year. 

“I am very supportive of the 

Sumner pool as this has been a 

tremendous community asset 

Yani 

Johanson 

over a number of years run by 

dedicated people in the local 

area.” 

The board also 

requested staff advice 

on the availability of 

chemicals for the pool. 

Work to fix leaks in 

the 25m outdoor pool 

would cost $6688. The 

pool committee would 

make up the shortfall. 

Board member 

Darrell Latham 

seconded Cr Johanson’s 

motion. 

He said in spite of the 

staff recommendation, the 

board recognised it was 

important for the work to be 

done because the pool was 

a “well run and widely used 

community asset”. 

“I’m thrilled with this 

outcome as this is such a well 

used community facility.” 

Most of the running costs 

for the community-owned 

and managed pool come from 

key rental, with about 360 keys 

available for local families to 

rent at $150 a season. 

•The pool is due to open 

for the summer season on 

November 11 at 7am. 

Diamond Harbour ferry wharf injury fears 

•From page 1 

Mr Milligan said they carried 

about 2000 passengers a 

week. 

He said they wanted a floating 

pontoon, like on the Lyttelton 

side, but he understood 

it wasn’t a quick fix. 

“We just wanted to start the 

conversations around it.” 

The board asked city council 

staff to look into whether any 

maintenance could improve 

safety and access. 

City council neighbourhood 

and sports parks operations 

manager Al Hardy said Black 

Cat had raised accessibility 

concerns about the wharf. 

“Council will respond to any 

concerns about safety as they 

arise.” 

Mr Hardy said there was 

$4.24 million budgeted in the 

long term plan to replace the 

wharf. But that was spread 

between 2022-2025. 

“If funds where bought 

forward in the long term 

plan, to replace the wharf, it 

is highly likely other projects 

would need to be pushed out; 

this is a decision for council 

to make during the LTP 

process.” 

He said any redesign would 

include maximising safety and 

ease of use. 

The city council had also 

received a complaint recently 

about the slipperiness of the 

dinghy ramp on the wharf, 

which was inspected and 

cleaned, Mr Hardy said. 

Mr Milligan said their ideal 

situation was for the wharf’s 

replacement to be brought 

forward. 


Community Association 

chairman Richard Suggate 

said some people who were 

elderly, had young children 

or were disabled, chose not to 

take the ferry because of the 

access issues. He welcomed the 

city council looking into the 

issue. 

“It’s an important lifeline for 

the community.”

which would go towards school

Your Local Views 

Readers respond to the 

article regarding a lobby 

effort to get a dog park for 

Ferrymead 

Cherry Daly – Regarding the 

proposed dedicated dog park at 

Ferrymead. I agree that the eastern 

suburbs are in dire need of a 

dedicated dog park. This site is 

central to the region and would 

be absolutely perfect. Many 

thanks to city councillor Yani Johanson 

for making this proposal 

and hoping that the notoriously 

anti-dog city council will see 

their way clear to approving this 

as soon as possible. 

Michael Wilson – This is a 

brilliant idea. I live in the area 

and frequently take my dogs to 

this area for exercise. I’m sure 

this will go some way to controlling 

the rabbits and stopping the 

dirt bike guys being annoying 

early evening. Bravo to the person 

who thought of this. 

Gayel Marquet – That 

sounds like a fabulous idea but 

the reason dogs love the beach 

is that owners do too. Give the 

owners a major unique reason 

and features (a pond to splash 

in) to attract them to Ferrymead 

and then educate them to be off 

the beach and I’m all for it – and 

I don’t even have a dog. Also 

re the article next to this about 

skateboarding . . . here we go 

again, one nimby (not in my 

backyard) spoiling it for all – 

give Sumner kids a place to go. 

Paula Mayer and her dog 

Frankie – I wish to support a 

dog park at Ferrymead – to have 

an alternative to the beach. 

Jo Wilson – I was so happy 

to read the article regarding a 

proposal to turn the old Maori 

Village site at Ferrymead into 

a dog park. I have lived in Mt 

Pleasant for a number of years 

and have often thought that the 

site would be perfect for a dog 

park. I walk my dog around 

there on a regular basis and 

would definitely use it even 

more if it were made more dog 

friendly. The eastern and hill 

suburbs including Lyttelton are 

woefully lacking when it comes 

to designated dog parks and I 

PLAN: A report on whether the former Tamaki Maori Village site in Ferrymead could be turned 

into a dog park is expected to return before Christmas. 

have no doubt the Ferrymead Sarah Joseph – I think a 

site would be utilised by many dog park in Ferrymead is an 

of us dog owners on this side of excellent idea. I’ve been looking 

town. Let’s hope the city council for safe places to let our dog have 

will make it a reality. 

a run off the lead. 

Belinda Rooney – Yes, we 

support this. 

Anthea Wilson – Yes, I 

would definitely use it – in fact I 

already use it on occasion. Once 

it is fully fenced and some of the 

potholes filled it will be brilliant. 

About a year and half ago I 

emailed the city council suggesting 

it but never heard back. So it 

is a yes from me. 

Ann Newsom – I think its 

great idea to have a dog park at 

Ferrymead on the old Maori village 

site. It would be an alternative 

to the beach which if full of 

dogs at summer week ends. 

Jill Reesby – Excellent idea. 

Sounds like all of the buildings 

have already been removed and 

it is now bare land, so this would 

be an excellent idea as more and 

more restrictions on free running 

of dogs is implemented. 

Jeffrey Gibson – It already 

is a dog park on most weekends. 

Nick Stoneman – No to 

a dog park got lots of them 

already. 

Karen Beaumont – If is not 

going to be used again, leave the 

buildings there and turn it into 

a paintball adventure. At least 

you can still make money off it. 

Plenty of dog parks already, it’s 

called the red zone. 

Jenny Bradley – Can’t help 

thinking this will attract people 

who may not like seeing my dog 

walking around with a dead rabbit 

in his jaws. 

Pamela Dixon – I reckon we 

have plenty of areas for our dogs 

to play, how about a theme park? 

Way more exciting. 

Tess Lenihan – Best idea 

ever. A lot of dog walkers go here 

already. Plus it might eliminate 

the mass rabbit population up 

there. 

Anita Beukenholdt – Great 

idea but plant the boundary with 

edible fruit trees so it has more 

than one purpose. 

Margaret Nicholas – Great. 

We need lots more dog parks. 

They bring people together and 

are great for socialising. Make it 

like the Styx Park. 

Hazel Cain – About time our 

animals had a great park with 

plenty of different smells to find. 

Lisa Peters – How fantastic 

our dogs love it there. Nice and 

safe. Great place on a warm day. 

Readers also welcome 

back Vinod Manu from 

Redcliffs Dairy after it was 

closed for a revamp 

Mechelle Wilson – Yah. 

Best ice-creams ever. We called 

in but saw you were closed. 

Good excuse for another visit 

soon. 

Brydie Wolfe – The best 

place ever not to mention the 

best people who work there. 

Lindsey Nicole Burton – 

So good to have the dairy back, I 

told him so when I went in too. 

Jenny Sutherland – Yay, 

my very favourite ice cream 

shop. I was gutted when we 

found it closed a few weeks back. 

Tracey Butcher – Best ice 

creams and he has my favourite 

flavour, which most places don’t 

have. 

Sue Qunlivan – Such a hard 

working family, they were one of 

the first to open to help the community 

after the 2011 quakes 

and yes – fab ice cream.

Boat safety week a timely reminder 

Lyttelton-based 

navigational safety officer 

Gary Manch writes about 

Safer Boating Week which 

starts on Friday 

AS I am writing, I can see the 

odd pleasure boat out in the 

harbour making the most of the 

lovely day. It’s great to see people 

out there using our amazing 

coast for recreation. 

With Labour weekend not far 

away, the start of the boating 

season is here, and hopefully 

the weather will be kinder to us 

this season than last. To coincide 

with the start of the season, 

Maritime New Zealand is running 

its nationwide Safer Boating 

Week from Friday to October 20. 

I want to highlight the week for 

two reasons. 

National MP 

Nuk Korako 

writes about 

his plans now 

that he has 

been returned 

to Parliament 

WITH THE final election 

results now announced and my 

place back in Parliament as the 

National List MP based in the 

Port Hills confirmed, it’s time 

to look ahead to my priorities 

for the next three years. I 

will continue to maintain an 

office here in the Port Hills 

and be available to assist with 

constituent cases and concerns. 

But there are also some 

specific issues where I think I 

can make a difference in the 

Port Hills, particularly within 

the environmental area. 

In my last column, I talked 

about the set up of Te Tapuwae 

o Rakau Trust, which is 

now working on developing 

a structured approach to 

replanting the Port Hills. I 

believe leading the set up of 

this trust is one of the most 

important contributions I 

First, it’s a timely reminder 

to get you thinking about your 

preparation for the upcoming 

boating season. That means 

making sure your vessel has 

been serviced, making sure all 

the safety equipment is still in 

good working order, and making 

sure you have two forms of communication 

ready to take out on 

the water. It also means checking 

that lifejackets are the right size 

and, in the case of inflatable 

ones, checking the cylinders are 

working and manually blowing 

the lifejacket up, and leaving it 

overnight to check there are no 

leaks. 

Second, it’s a good time to 

make sure you know the boating 

rules for where you are going to 

be. In Canterbury, for example, 

you must have an identifying 

have been able to make to our 

electorate, and I look forward to 

seeing the work the trust does 

and assisting where I can. 

Another area of real 

environmental importance here 

in the Port Hills electorate is 

the Heathcote River and Ihutai 

Estuary. This is something I 

was involved with even before 

becoming an MP, in my role as 

chairman of Te Ihutai Trust. 

One of the greatest 

community initiatives we have 

in our electorate is the annual 

Mother of All Clean Ups, and 

I’ve always enjoyed getting in 

and helping to clean up the 

name or number on both sides 

of your boat. Check out our 

Navigation Safety Bylaw 2016 

(item 20) for full details on 

identification. It’s available at

rubbish which pollutes the 

waterway and its banks. 

It’s a privilege to live in close 

proximity to such a beautiful 

landmark as the Heathcote 

River. But winding through 

residential areas carries risks for 

water quality. There are many 

issues around silt, chemicals 

and run-off from metal building 

products ending up in the river. 

These are issues that will require 

ongoing attention from local 

authorities and from central 

Government. I am committed 

to using my position to leave a 

better and cleaner environment 

here in the Port Hills.

Thanks for voting 

Labour MP 

Ruth Dyson 

is humbled 

to have been 

re-elected 

to represent 

the Port Hills 

electorate 

I SPOKE to a Mt Pleasant 

woman who is in her 90s during 

the week. 

“This has been the most exciting 

election since I was a young 

girl,” she said. 

And it certainly has been 

exciting. 

The final make-up of the 

Government won’t be known 

for a little while but we can be 

satisfied the MMP system will 

deliver us a Government of our 

choosing, given that the party 

vote determines how many MPs 

each party ends up having. 

I have been re-elected to 

represent the constituents of 

Port Hills in Parliament and I 

feel humbled at the support I 

received and want to express 

my thanks to each and every 

one of you – not just those that 

supported my re-election, but 

questions or queries, I am always 

available to help at gary.manch@ 

ecan.govt.nz. Be safe out there 

and respect each other on the 

water. 

everyone who participated in 

our democratic process. 

Some countries don’t have the 

right for citizens to vote and we 

really should appreciate it more 

than many do. 

We should make it as easy as 

possible for people to vote and 

I do hope that the technology 

develops soon so that people 

will have confidence in online 

voting. 

The advance voting was 

certainly popular this year and 

is a step in the right direction of 

making voting more accessible. 

There are many issues that 

need support and attention in 

our electorate and I give you my 

commitment that I will continue 

to work hard for you, listen to 

what locals are saying and get 

things done for the benefit of our 

communities. 

We can face our challenges 

together and get through difficult 

times as we have shown in 

the past. But we’re not there yet. 

There is still much to do before 

we can truly say that we are on 

the road to recovery. 

But we know we can do it 

together.

Ferrymead Rotary grants 

behind community projects 

Ferrymead Rotary 

Club member Barbara 

Crooks writes about 

neighbourhood inititives 

which the club supports 

ONE OF the few positive 

outcomes of the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, was the 

reinforcement of the value 

of neighbours. Several major 

donors gave funds to Rotary 

to help neighbourhoods come 

together and to support local 

community projects. 

Further donations have 

allowed Rotary’s neighbourhood 

committee to continue to 

support community activities 

and projects at a local level. 

These grants are channelled 

through local Rotary clubs. 

Ferrymead Rotary has been 

involved in a dozen or so of 

these. The club has two on the 

go right now – the Mt Pleasant 

Response and Resilience 

team and the South Brighton 

Residents’ Association. 

Robin Arnold, who coordinates 

Mt Pleasant Response 

and Resilience, says the grant 

will be used primarily to 

assemble community emergency 

supplies, which will be kept at 

Mt Pleasant School. 

IMPROVED: Rotary grants were used to fund native planting 

on Rocking Horse Rd. 

She has a group of local 

volunteers working to set up a 

core community response group 

with relevant knowledge, or 

access to it. This also involves 

developing a basic emergency 

plan and broadening the role of 

neighbourhood support groups 

beyond crime watch to include 

emergency procedures. 

In South Brighton, the 

residents’ association is using its 

grant for planting on Rocking 

Horse Rd. It’s a two-year project 

to plant natives in beds on 

street corners down both sides 

of the road and along the 

central island. “The road had 

become sad and neglected,” said 

association vice-president Lynda 

Burdekin, who is co-ordinating 

the project. 

“It’s such a nice place to live, 

we want to make the road really 

nice as well. “ 

•Ferrymead Rotary meets 

at Speights Ferrymead at 

5.45pm on Tuesdays. For 

more information, get in

Tovgaard on 384 9485 or

Ellesmere algal bloom 

health warning lifted 

THE ALGAL bloom health 

warning on Te Waihora/Lake 

Ellesmere has been lifted, 

more than three years 

after it was put in place. 

Recent water testing 

by the Canterbury 

District Health Board 

has shown the quantity 

of potentially toxic bluegreen 

algae (planktonic 

cyanobacteria) in the lake 

has decreased. 

Concentrations are 

now below the levels that were of 

concern to public health. 

The warning was issued in 

February 2014. 

Canterbury medical officer 

of health Alistair Humphrey 

Alistair 

Humphrey 

said Environment Canterbury’s 

sampling of the lake would 

continue on a monthly 

basis. 

“The public will be 

informed when testing 

shows that concentrations 

have increased and there 

is a risk to public health 

again, which is likely to be 

in the summer months,” he 

said. 

Exposure to algal bloom 

can cause skin rashes, 

nausea, stomach cramps, 

tingling and numbness around 

the mouth and fingertips. 

When a warning is in place, 

people should not touch the 

water or drink it at any time.

First Crater Rim Ultra a unique marathon 

• By Gordon Findlater 

SOME OF the country’s top 

long distance and trail runners 

will tackle a picturesque yet 

unforgiving 50km course from 

Diamond Harbour to Hansen 

Park on Sunday. 

The inaugural Crater Rim 

Ultra will be a unique event. 

It will be one of the few ultramarathons 

in the world were the 

athletes are taken to the start 

line not only by bus but also by 

boat – cruising from Lyttelton to 

Diamond Harbour. 

The Crater Rim Ultra will 

see competitors start at the 

Diamond Harbour rugby 

grounds at 7.15am and head to 

the summit of Mt Herbert, 919m 

above sea level. 

They will then continue on a 

track to the top of Gebbies Pass 

and along the summit through 

to the top of Briddle Path. They 

will then loop back to the top of 

Rapaki Track before descending 

Rapaki to the finish line at 

Hansen Park. 

“We recognised that there’s so 

much potential there because we 

have the crater rim trail track 

which is already there and it’s 

such an iconic view to see all the 

different scenery from different 

angles the whole way around,” 

said event organiser Jamie 

Hawker. 

This year’s event is somewhat 

of an experiment. From next 

year, the event has hosting rights 

A 16-STRONG team from 

Sumner and a team of three 

from Taylors Mistake travel to 

Auckland this week for the 15th 

annual Surf Life Saving New 

Zealand pool championships. 

The championships, which 

start on Friday, will be the first 

national event of the 2017/18 surf 

lifesaving season. The event at Sir 

Owen G Glenn National Aquatic 

Centre, Albany, has attracted 

entries from 687 athletes – 70 

more than last year. 

A total of 31 New Zealand 

clubs have entered, along with a 

team of 19 representing Surf Life 

Saving Australia and another 12 

from Surf Life Saving New South 

from Athletics New Zealand 

to call it the New Zealand trail 

running championships. 

“They are also going to use the 

2018 event as a trial to assist with 

the selection of the New Zealand 

men’s and women’s team to 

Wales. There will be about 400 

races contested across age groups 

from 10 years through to the 

masters section. 

Specific team events will 

provide an opportunity for the 

teams to go head-to-head in the 

4x50m obstacle relay, 4x25m 

manikin relay and 4x50 medley 

relay. 

“Unlike being out in the surf, 

competitors can watch the action 

more closely and clubs can 

compete together and cheer 

each other on in a stadium-like 

environment,” said Surf Life Saving 

New Zealand sport manager 

Mike Lord. 

“Many of our members spend

compete at the 2019 world trail 

running championships,” said 

Hawker. 

“The potential for this is huge. 

We can see the country’s top 

runners and a large number of 

internationals competing in the 

Sumner, Taylors Mistake teams off to lifesaving pool champs 

the cooler winter months training 

for surf-based rescues in a 

more controlled environment 

and this is a great way to demonstrate 

where they’re at ahead of 

the new summer patrol season.” 

Points will be allocated for 

each individual and team race 

and will then be added together 

to show the top clubs. 

WARMER WATERS: Sumner 

and Taylors Mistake surf 

lifesaving members will hit 

the pool this weekend to take 

on the country’s best. 

BATTLE: Competitors will be tested by the Port Hills 

undulating trails in all three races on Sunday. The 50km 

ultra-marathon promises spectacular views of Mt Herbert 

(above). 

future.” The event also has 10km 

and 21km distance races which 

both start and finish at Hansen 

Park. 

There will also be two 

children’s events at Hansen Park. 

The inaugural ultra-marathon 

has more than 60 entrants signed 

up to compete, while the more 

traditional 21km and 10km 

events have close to 200. 

The 50km event on Sunday 

will also act as a build-up to the 

60km Kepler Challenge through 

Fiordland National Park in 

December. The Kepler Challenge 

has become the country’s 

premier trail run and attracts 

about 500 athletes, including a 

large number of international 

competitors. 

The top runners in the 50km 

ultra-marathon are expected to 

finish in under five hours. 

The event will be followed by 

a presentation with place prizes, 

spot prizes and a great morning 

tea for all competitors.

Happy Birthday to us. 

House of Travel Ferrymead, One year 

anniversary in our new store! 

House of Travel Ferrymead are celebrating one year in their new premises at 987 Ferry Road. Owners Mel Hubber and Kim 

Beswick are delighted to see many new tenants opening in the new business hub and love the variety and revitalisation it 

is bringing to an already popular area and complementing existing businesses. House of Travel Ferrymead has technically 

been operating for 27 years, originating as House of Travel Linwood on Buckleys Road where it specialised in Pilgrimage 

tours and holiday packages before relocating to Ferry Road and rebranding as House of Travel Ferrymead. 

The new business move has seen the team and customers alike embrace their new concept store which looks just like 

your favourite coffee shop. Customers are greeted with offers of tea or coffee from the nespresso machine and can relax 

and view inspirational material until their agent comes to sit with them with their mobile laptop. This new space creates 

a relaxed and informal environment where conversations flow easily about the purpose of their travel plans. Kim & Mel 

have both worked at House of Travel Ferrymead for a combined 18 years and believe their team is one of the most well 

travelled in the business. 

Mel Hubber 

Owner Operator 

“These days it’s about ensuring we 

are with our clients on their journey 

every step of the way – from the 

initial searching out options phase, to 

the anticipation phase, then the actual 

travelling phase, and then returning home with 

feedback and booking the next one phase!” 

Kim Beswick 

Owner Operator 

“We believe strong relationships with clients 

and suppliers are key to success in the travel 

industry and believe each of the team have a 

strong work ethic and values that compliment the 

House of Travel philosophy of enriching people’s 

lives through travel’. ‘ In fact many clients make the 

comment that it feels like one big family in our office!’” 

Their core business is still holidays to the Pacific Islands and Australia, North America & 

UK/Europe, Ocean and River Cruising (top shop for Avalon waterways 2015 and 2016) as 

well as specialized tailor made independent travel and guided holidays, African safari 

adventures and everything in between. Church and group travel remain a key focus 

and so does searching out the best value Premium Economy and Business class 

fares and how to take advantage of lounge access and airline memberships. We 

welcome new and existing clients to our new store for a coffee any time!

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Love your dentures 

Is it time to swap your generic denture appearance 

for a beautiful, natural looking smile? 

Internationally renowned dental 

technician Richard Greenlees, 

PGDipCDTech (University of Otago) of 

Lovebite is the person to call. 

His special point of difference is 

rebuilding what he calls the Oral 

Architecture, the structure and shape of 

a patient’s face that is often lost following 

years of wearing dentures. 

Lovebite dentures address problems 

that can arise due to years of the patient 

wearing incorrectly fitting or poorly 

functioning dentures, such as poor 

occlusion (the way the teeth come 

together), aesthetics, function and 

hygiene. 

An intricate knowledge and 

understanding of facial features allows 

Richard to return facial tissues back to the 

correct position, reform lips, and restore 

beauty and confidence. 

Richard provides a friendly, discreet 

service and personally guides his patients 

through the transformation process to 

create teeth with small nuances in the 

fabrication, colour and shape. 

Carmen, a recent patient said in a 

thank you letter to Richard, “I highly 

recommend your craftsmanship to anyone 

wanting a natural looking smile. Because 

you do your work in front of your client, 

one is able to see how meticulous and 

dedicated you are to ending up with a top 

class result. My dentures are amazing. 

They look like one’s own natural teeth. So 

much time, effort and energy went into 

the end result. Simply the best.” 

Richard’s patients have varying needs, 

from full denture replacement, to first 

time immediate dentures, implant 

supported dentures and metal partial 

dentures. 

Since he started making teeth in 

1980 Richard has travelled extensively, 

accumulating vast knowledge through 

training and working in Japan, and 

running his own practice in the 

prestigious Harley Street, London for 15 

years. He continues to teach his world 

leading techniques globally. 

Richard also creates porcelain crowns 

and veneers, working with like-minded 

dental professionals. 

A beautiful new Lovebite smile 

resembles nature and reflects the patient’s 

character. It boosts confidence and helps 

patients to look and feel years younger.

of stunning Lovebite dentures, visit

AFTER 

These before and after photographs 

perfectly highlight the facial 

rejuvenation that can be achieved 

with a Lovebite denture (right). 

The patient’s facial structure and 

shape have been restored, with her 

beautiful new smile transforming 

the way she looks and feels.

could look this 

natural?

STUNNING: A beautiful new denture for 

a young female patient 

These stunning lovebite full upper and 

lower dentures have been expertly crafted by 

internationally-recognised dental technician 

Richard Greenlees at his Christchurch studio. 

The combination of Richard’s skill, experience 

(including 15 years in London’s prestigious 

Harley Street) knowledge and revolutionary 

techniques allow him to create beautiful 

bespoke false teeth that truly resemble those 

in nature and reflect each patient’s individuality 

and unique character.

LUTHER AND LLOYD: 

TWO OUTRAGEOUS HERETICS? 

SIX-WEEK COURSE 

This year marks the 500th Anniversary of Martin Luther 

nailing his thesis to the church in his German town of 

Wittenberg (October 31). An action that unexpectedly 

sparked the Reformation. This year also celebrates the 

50th Anniversary of the heresy trial of Lloyd Geering 

here in Aotearoa New Zealand. An event that was most 

divisive for many of our churches. 

This course will examine the huge impact of the two 

men in their time, noting their significance for today. 

Attention will be drawn to the different theological 

perspectives involved. 

Six-week course of 2 hour sessions 

held on Thursday afternoons 2pm - 4pm 

commencing on 19 October 2017 

The course will be co-facilitated by Charles Manning and 

Reverend Rodney Routledge. The course will draw on the 

latest scholarship and will be interactive in format. 

VENUE: Iona House, Aranui 

Enrolments by 15 October by email to 

stgmin@gmail.com or 3812536
