6 Tuesday October 10 2017 News Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi SOUTHERN VIEW New animal bylaw not likely COMPLAINTS ABOUT a noisy pig in Linwood made it all the way to the Linwood- Central-Heathcote Community Board table. However, city council staff have recommended the board should not investigate the possibility of introducing a city wide bylaw to regulate farm animals in residential areas. The pig was moved out of the area before the meeting – but the board asked city council staff for advice on the “keeping of farm animals in urban areas” anyway. In their response, staff said the keeping of animals is not regulated through a bylaw or in the District Plan and they did not recommend bringing one in. “A new bylaw could help improve clarity around what is considered acceptable behaviour around the keeping of livestock but it would not enable or offer advantages in terms of enforcement options,’’ a memo said. Staff said a better alternative would be “a policy or other educational tools” to provide direction about appropriate behaviour without the same cost to the city council. Bid to overcome zoning snag •From page 1 Because Mr Meyn’s plans do not comply, the project could be delayed by up to five years with resource and building consent processes. City council staff have been looking into how it could change the zoning to allow the expansion to go ahead. They decided the best way to do so was through the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Act. Today, the city council’s regulatory performance committee will decide whether to ask staff to investigate a way of doing so through the Act, and to report back to city councillors. It would require working with Regenerate Christchurch and the department of prime minister and Cabinet. It comes just as McDonald’s has applied for resource consent to the city council to build a new restaurant and drive through opposite the sporting facility. The idea to speed up the zone-changing process has been supported by Sport Canterbury, Christchurch Netball Centre, Canterbury Basketball Association, Mainland Football, Canterbury Water Polo, Southern Districts Football Club, ChristchurchNZ, and Apollo SPECTACULAR: The current football academy, funded mainly by Slava Meyn and built in 2015. Projects – Aquatic and Sporting Facilities, who all wrote to the city council asking it to help change the zoning. Wigram MP Megan Woods and Canterbury Employers’ Chamber of Commerce chief executive Peter Townsend have also written in support of using the act to do so. Dr Woods said it has the potential to be a really good asset for western Christchurch but the community must be involved. “I think what we absolutely have to do is make sure that we get the views of the community in the process as well,” she said. The existing football facility has two full size artificial football pitches, four artificial mini-pitches, a full-size natural turf pitch, clubroom facilities, café, administrative offices, grandstand seating for about 1000 people. PROPOSED: A swimming complex like this is planned for the Yaldhurst facility. tramping boots now instore Open 7 days dressmart HOrnby, main sOutH rd | pH 03 344 5304 FASh I onS WOMEN’S WEAR CLEARANCE CASUAL & DRESSY • SIZES 10-26 LOTS OF BARGAINS FABRIC BONANZA DESIGn ER DRESS FABRICS At VERY REASonABLE PRICES FABRIc BONANz A & cOTu RA 113 MAIn S o U th RoAD o FF St REEt PARKIn G 03 366 6958 Mon-FRI 8AM-4PM Mt Pleasant Farmers Market Every Saturday 9.30am—12.30pm Mt Pleasant Centre, McCormacks Bay Road Great Vibe Live Music ∙ organic seasonal fresh fruit & vegetables ∙ artisan breads, buns & pastries ∙ speciality cheeses ∙ free range eggs ∙ gluten and allergy free food ∙ hummus ∙ dips ∙ soup ∙ falafel ∙ fresh fish ∙ whitebait in season ∙ salmon ∙ salami ∙ sausages ∙ free range meat ∙ pies ∙ cakes & cupcakes ∙ jam & pickles ∙ olives ∙ seasonal herbs & bedding plants ∙ flowers ∙ ready made lunches www.mtpleasantfarmersmarket.nz | community@mpcc.org.nz | 027 739 1832 ART & CRAFT MARKET SATURDAY 14 Oct, 11 Nov, 9 Dec 9.30am - 12.30pm MOUNT PLEASANT CENTRE 3 McCormacks Bay Road 021 239 8946

Other items up for grabs include several seats on a helicopter ride piloted by Richie McCaw to a mystery location, a horse power experience in a dual sulky behind Monkey King, New Zealand’s top harness racer, and a hot laps session at Mike Pero Motorsport Park in a V8 Supercar driven by Greg Murphy.

Local News Now Fire rages, homes at risk Gala plans under way SPRING HAS sprung, and Heathcote Valley School is gearing up for their annual twilight gala. It’s the main fundraising event for the school and organiser Jina Russell said she’d been planning since June for a “brilliant” community get together which usually attracted around 2500 people. “I really love the atmosphere of getting it ready and everyone helping out. And just seeing kids running around having fun and families relaxing and being able to catch up.” This was her first year running the event, which was “scary, as the previous years it has been an amazing lady called Mel. I’ve got bit shoes to fill!” The Friday night timeslot made for a “relaxed, after-work environment for families,” Ms Russell said. “It’s a great way to end the week.” The evening involves games and activities to suit all ages, live entertainment and music from school and community groups, stalls, food, raffles, chocolate wheel and bake sale. •Heathcote Valley Twilight Gala, Friday, November 3, 5-8pm.
