Shuttle idea to link<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
Dominic<br />
A SHUTTLE linking Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> and Church <strong>Bay</strong> for<br />
ferry users could be running by<br />
late January<br />
Student Dominic van Uden<br />
from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> is<br />
behind the idea and he has met<br />
with Environment Canterbury<br />
to get the idea of the ground<br />
Funding will be critical to it<br />
happening.<br />
Dominic has<br />
regular user of<br />
the ferry since<br />
shifting to the<br />
area five years<br />
ago.<br />
A shuttle service<br />
would alleviate<br />
the pressure<br />
on parking<br />
van Uden<br />
spaces around the wharf, he<br />
said, provide a transport option<br />
during inclement weather and<br />
make it easier for the elderly<br />
and those with young children<br />
to use the ferry service.<br />
He has formulated a potential<br />
route the service could take and<br />
surveyed the community to<br />
establish support for the idea.<br />
More than 60 households<br />
responded to the survey, with<br />
about two-thirds of respondents<br />
suggesting they would be likely<br />
to use the service if it were in<br />
place.<br />
Dominic met with ECan last<br />
week to discuss funding options<br />
for a van and the process of<br />
setting up a community trust.<br />
“Once we organise funding<br />
for the project, it will almost<br />
be ready to be operational.<br />
Our aim is to have the service<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> and Church <strong>Bay</strong><br />
INITIATIVE: Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> resident Dominic van Uden is trying to organise a shuttle<br />
service for ferry users. <br />
running by late January when<br />
regular commuters return<br />
from holiday, however this will<br />
depend on funding,” he said.<br />
“We have strong community<br />
partnerships with the Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> Community<br />
Association and Black Cat<br />
Cruises.”<br />
He has also written to the<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board asking for their support<br />
for the shuttle project.<br />
The board discussed the<br />
project at a meeting on Monday<br />
and agreed to give their support<br />
to the project, but there was no<br />
discussion on what form that<br />
support would take.<br />
•HAVE YOUR SAY: Would<br />
a shuttle service make the<br />
ferry more accessible? Do<br />
you think there is a need?<br />

SKATE RAMP IN STORAGE<br />
Sumner’s temporary skate ramp has<br />
been moved into storage while a<br />
resource consent application for the<br />
ramp’s proposed new site is heard.<br />
The Sumner Green and Skate Group<br />
is hoping it will hear back within<br />
the next couple of weeks whether<br />
the site on the corner of Nayland<br />
and Wakefield Sts has the go ahead.<br />

RESERVE PLAN DELAY<br />
Draft management plans for the<br />
Te Oka and Misty Peaks reserves<br />
won’t be completed until the end<br />
of January after the city council<br />
pushed back the original <strong>November</strong><br />
timeframe. It now expects the<br />
plans to be presented to the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
for approval in early February,<br />
after which they will go out for<br />
community consultation.<br />
FIREWORKS BLAZE<br />
A blaze sparked by fireworks took<br />
the Sumner Fire Brigade 45min to<br />
bring under control. The incident<br />
happened about 1am last Tuesday<br />
in a paddock below Summit Rd,<br />
near Godley Head. Sumner brigade<br />
chief fire officer Daryl Sayer said it<br />
was lucky there was no wind or the<br />
flames could have spread further.<br />
About 70 sq m of land was burned.<br />
