6 Tuesday October 18 2016 News Hot pool views sought PEGASUS POST THE FLOOR is open to residents wanting to give their opinion on taking part in the next stage of the New Brighton hot salt water pools’ development. Development Christchurch Ltd, working alongside the city council, has come up with ideas for upgrading the existing whale paddling pool playground and developing the hot salt water pools’ facility. Both projects are based on community feedback provided during the New Brighton Suburban Master Plan process and the Long Term Plan. DCL Chief Executive Rob Hall said he is looking forward to hearing if the organisation is on track or not. “We now need to hear back from local residents and community groups to make sure we’re on the right track,” he said. New Brighton Pier and Foreshore Society deputy chairman Tim Sintes said DCL is interested to hear what the public wants to see happen with the pools’ project and the whale pool. “It’s just giving the public a chance to get involved with it. If they don’t do it now, and something goes later on, you get an ‘I told you so’,” he said. FEEDBACK WANTED: The city council is asking residents what they want to see for the hot salt water pools project. Some want to see a design similar to the St Clair pools in Dunedin (pictured). Mr Sintes said he imagined one of the talking points during the feedback process would be the cost of a family getting into the pools. Work on the new, substantially enlarged play area and hot salt water pools is part of the wider programme of regeneration happening in New Brighton. “This development needs to fit in with other community initiatives, plans for the revitalisation of the commercial centre of the suburb, the implementation of the Master Plan, work to understand future environmental issues and the wider regeneration of the New Brighton area,” said Mr Hall. Previously, the community had said they would like to see a design similar to the St Clair Hot Salt Water Pools in Dunedin. Feedback will inform further work on the project and more detailed planning of the play and pool concepts, which are expected to be presented to the city council for consideration by the end of the year. Consultation closes on November 5 at 5pm. NO-GO: The CDHB is warning people to not collect or eat shellfish like oysters from the east coast. PHOTO: SIMON BAKER Toxic shellfish • By Annabelle Dick THE CANTERBURY District Health Board has issued a public warning to not collect or eat shellfish from the coastline between Motunau Beach and Akaroa Harbour after toxic shellfish were discovered. The shellfish were discovered at Sumner Beach and the warning says not to eat shellfish from the east coast. CDHB medical officer of health Dr Daniel Williams said routine tests on shellfish samples from the beach showed high levels of Diarrhetic Shellfish Poisoning toxins of up to 0.26mg/kg. “This is above the safe limit of 0.16mg/kg set by the Ministry for Primary Industries. Anyone eating shellfish from this area is potentially at risk of illness,” Dr Williams said. “Mussels, oysters, tuatua, pipi, toheroa, cockles, scallops, cat’s eyes, kina (sea urchin) and all other bivalve shellfish should not be eaten.” He said cooking shellfish does not remove the toxin and it can cause diarrhoea, vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps. Dr Williams said symptoms of diarrhetic shellfish poisoning usually appear within half an hour and can last for 24 hours. Toxin level monitoring will continue and the CDHB will let the public know when shellfish are safe to eat. WIN STARTS NEXT WEEK!
