PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday June 20 2017 5 News Erosion fear for domain • By Sarla Donovan A PROPOSED 190m stopbank adjacent to Bridge St will reduce flood levels in South Brighton but there are questions over whether it will stop the swift rate of erosion in South Brighton Domain. Adam Perry, who has lived in the area for 43 years, has written to the Coastal-Burwood Community Board about the speed of deterioration along the estuary edge of the domain. The earthquakes caused significant land Adam Perry drop, destroying much of the existing gabion basket protection. Heavy rains in April have sped up the process, Mr Perry says, threatening to wash away new planting. “The school, campground and more are at risk from the next winter storm. Before all the hours of community planting gets washed away, can we please have some action,” he told the Pegasus Post. Mr Perry’s concerns are echoed by community board member Tim Sintes. “Water at high tide is getting into soft sand and eating it quickly. What I thought would take six months has happened in just one. If we don’t do something, the rate of erosion is going to keep speeding up.” In some places, the estuary edge had receded up to 12m, he said. Head of strategic policy at the city council, Helen Beaumont, said the repairs to the boardwalk and jetty in South New Brighton Park included erosion protection for those facilities. “A new, short length of stopbank is (also) proposed adjacent to Bridge St to fill a low point in the existing topography. The proposed stopbank will be constructed in the vicinity of the existing estuary edge footpath. These works will not alleviate all flood risk to South New Brighton area, but it will reduce flood levels.” The proposed stopbank is currently in the design and consenting stage, she said. “The city council plans to enact the works within the next six months, but this is dependent on successful application of resource consent.” “The bund is approximately 190m long, with a maximum height of approximately 850mm (typically between 400mm and CONCERN: Plans to stop estuary-causing erosion at South Brighton Domain may not be enough, locals say. 700mm) and a crest width of approximately 1m.” Mr Perry questioned where the proposed new stopbank would start and stop. “There needs to be protection all the way along to the jetty. What’s the plan for the exposed bit in between? It doesn’t sound sufficient.” Tim Sintes said gabion baskets destroyed in the earthquakes should be rebuilt. “I want to see the protection reinstated as it was. We know it worked; why not fix it? There’s examples of baskets that didn’t slump and they are working beautifully.” In Brief CLOCK REPAIRS The New Brighton clock tower will be fully repaired by summer, with work expected to begin in spring. A detailed engineering evaluation has been completed which notes the structural and cosmetic repairs required, such as rust staining, and a full scope of repair and restoration work is currently under way. BOY RECEIVES TRIKE A Parklands boy has received funding from the Mazda Foundation to purchase a specialised trike. Mikey Lavender, 11, who has down syndrome, received $1399 in funding for the trike, which will enable him to build strength and cognitive ability, and allow him to go bike riding with his family in nearby Bottle Lake Forest. The Mazda Foundation is funded through a contribution from the sale of every new Mazda in New Zealand.
