Residents 

angry over 

district 

councillor’s 

quarry dust 

comments 

• By Emily O’Connell 

WEEDONS residents are angry 

Selwyn district councillor Mark 

Alexander says dust won’t be an 

issue with the 

quarry planned for 

the area. 

Cr Alexander 

sent an email to 

Weedons Residents 

Association secretary 

Gary Doyle 

saying while traffic 

could an issue, dust 

wouldn’t be.

Alexander 

Cr Alexander’s comments were 

reported in Western News last week, 

which prompted a quick response. 

Weedons residents Simon Moore 

and Stephen Bain said they were 

“horrified” by the councillor’s comments. 

“Mr Alexander has actually 

thwarted and obstructed the democratic 

process and must resign,” Mr 

Bain said. 

Fulton Hogan is planning a quarry 

on a 170ha section of land on Dawsons, 

Curraghs and Jones Rds which 

borders Weedons and Templeton.

SURFING IS a bit like tennis and golf. 

There are thousands upon thousands of 

people who take part in those activities but 

only a tiny fraction of that number make it 

to the top. 

One of those who has that potential 

features in today’s paper. 

Conor McLennan has a chance to live the surfing dream – 

that is making a career out of it. 

The former Christchurch Boys’ High student, who is now 

based at an academy at Kiwi surfing mecca, Raglan, has just 

won the national under-18 title. 

That will hopefully springboard him into the national team 

where events further afield from our shores will beckon. 

A bright future ahead I suspect.

Alumni plan for Burnside HS 

• By Julia Evans 

FORMER PRIME Minister 

John Key, rugby player Andy 

Ellis and author Eleanor 

Catton could soon be part of an 

alumni association at their old 

school. 

Burnside High School is 

investigating the possibility 

of establishing an association 

for previous 

students for the 

first time in its 

58-year history. 

Principal Phil 

Holstein said 

the plan is in 

“its infancy.” 

“It’s in the 

planning phase. 

But at this stage 

Phil Holstein 

we’re seriously considering ways 

to keep our former students 

connected to the school. As well 

as reconnect them with current 

students,” he said. 

But he said there are a few 

hurdles the school and its board 

of trustees had to overcome before 

the plan could progress any 

further. 

“It’s something that’s really 

in the mind of the board. But 

to start it after 58 years, it’s 

going to be a challenge,” he 

said. 

Challenges come in terms of 

IN TOUCH: Burnside High School is beginning the process of 

developing an alumni organisation for its more than 25,000 

former students. 

John Key Eleanor Catton Andy Ellis 

developing the infrastructure to 

host the former students first, 

he said. 

Mr Holstein said he didn’t 

know the exact number of 

graduates from the school. But 

it would be somewhere in the 

vicinity of 450 a year for the last 

58 years – 26,000. “It’s a lot,” he 

said. 

The school and board would 

then have to look into a programme 

that would manage the 

data on former students and appoint 

a person to be responsible 

for the association. 

“We also have to work out the 

kinds of things it would do,” he 

said. 

It is too early to have a time 

frame in mind, Mr Holstein 

said. “It will take a while to get 

all that done,” he said. 

The school and board is looking 

to develop a wider strategic 

plan first. 

“Once we got that, it’s a very 

exciting prospect.” 

Mr Holstein said the idea 

has been floating around for 

a while and it is now seizing 

the opportunity to begin 

establishing it. 

“Alumni or old boy and old 

girl associations are usually associated 

with longer established 

and single-sex schools,” he said. 

Burnside is the largest school 

in the country, outside Auckland, 

with a role of more than 

2500. 

“It’s really about keeping that 

connection to the school even 

after you leave. I think that’s really 

important,” he said.

Park, cemetery 

trees face axe 

SEVERAL LARGE trees in 

Avonhead Park and Cemetery 

are going to be removed. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

member Aaron Campbell said 

the trees are either dead, dying 

or dangerous. 

“The mainly eucalypt and 

poplar trees are to be removed 

due to continued decline and 

high risk to the public from 

branch and tree failure,” he said. 

The trees are located throughout 

both reserves, along the 

west, north boundaries and central 

area of the park and in the 

central area of the cemetery. 

Replanting is expected to take 

place from May to August. 

“We apologise for any inconvenience, 

including noise, but 

we will try and keep this to a 

minimum,” Mr Campbell said. 

The work, which is expected to 

start this week, is anticipated to 

take one week to complete. 

•From page 1 

Said Cr Alexander in his email 

to the Mr Doyle: “I would say 

based on the new Rolleston 

quarry’s operation, dust should 

not be an issue as any new 

consents should not allow 

any dust to cross the quarry’s 

boundaries.” Cr Alexander told 

Western News he was “surprised 

at the tone” of the responses, but 

understands residents are upset 

at the prospect of a quarry. 

He said the district council 

is always 

“neutral and 

independent” 

and in a 

resource 

consent 

process, it is 

like a referee in 

Jimmy Chen 

a sports match. 

“District 

council doesn’t 

create the rules, we have to 

impartially manage them,” Cr 

Alexander said. 

In the email, he suggested 

residents’ best way forward 

was to create “a new, separate, 

incorporated society to 

submit against these consent 

applications.” 

Cr Alexander also said 

residents could face legal costs 

of about $150,000 fighting the 

resource consent process. 

This has angered Mr Moore. “I 

will not be spending $150,000 to 

do your job that you have been 

elected and paid to do. Can I 

suggest that you get off your chuff 

and represent me as I expect as a 

ratepayer.” 

Cr Alexander said he “gave his 

honest and independent opinion, 

based on his experience” with the 

Rolleston quarry. 

The Rolleston quarry opened in 

2013 on a section of land between 

Wards, Sandy Knolls and Kerrs 

Rds. 

Cr Alexander said he would 

not resign. 

Mr Doyle said it was Cr 

Alexander’s “choice to make.”

Now 

Quarry comments slammed by residents 

FRUSTRATION: Comments made by Selwyn district councillor 

Mark Alexander regarding a proposed quarry on a 170ha 

section of land off Dawsons, Curraghs and Jones Rds have 

angered Weedons residents. 

WESTERN NEWS 


“I would say there’s as much 

chance of (Cr Alexander) 

resigning as a snowball lasting in 

hell,” he said. 

Cr Alexander said: “I’m the 

only district councillor who has 

offered any public advise to these 

residents. So in my view, I am 

doing my job,” he said. 

Christchurch city councillor 

Jimmy Chen is concerned about 

the quarry, its health effects and 

whether it will devalue nearby 

properties. 

He has sent emails to 

Mayor Sam Broughton and 

Environment Canterbury 

chairman Steve Lowndes. 

Cr Chen also plans to talk to 

Wigram MP Megan Woods, 

MP Amy Adams, Mayor 

Lianne Dalziel and other city 

councillors. 

“Generally speaking, I’ll do my 

best on behalf of the Templeton 

residents to express their 

concerns regarding this issue,” Cr 

Chen said. 

District council planning 

manager Jesse Burgess said 

the council has not received a 

resource consent application 

from Fulton Hogan yet. 

In a letter sent to residents 

near the proposed quarry, Fulton 

Hogan said it would be there for 

25-40 years.

Denton group thankful for support 


A COUNTRY rugby club is 

getting behind its Hornby 

‘friends’ in a bid to stop the city 

council’s plan to build a $35.7 

million mega centre in Denton 

Park. 

Darfield rugby club president 

Scott McIlroy said it will do 

whatever is needed to help the 

Hornby Rugby Football Club. 

“If they’re trying to close 

Denton Park, we’ll definitely be 

in behind them to try and keep 

it going,” he said. 

The proposed facility has been 

highly controversial with sports 

clubs fearful of losing their 

home grounds. 

Mr McIlroy said he’s not sure 

what they can do to assist yet. 

“No, I don’t know what options 

are available but I’m sure 

we’ll look at anything that helps 

them tick along,” he said. 

Hornby club chairwoman Lyn 

Hucklebridge is grateful for the 

support and she hopes more 

clubs follow suit. 

Mrs Hucklebridge said the 

Save Denton Park group will 

discuss what Darfield could do 

and get back to them. 

“What we need is for everyone 

to be outspoken about the whole 

process,” she said.

Taggers hit 

Halswell 


HALSWELL residents are 

concerned with the amount of 

graffiti which has appeared in 

their suburb. 

City council graffiti clean-up 

volunteer and Halswell Residents’ 

Association treasurer Matt 

Shallcrass said State Highway 75 

in Halswell is a popular spot for 

vandalism. 

“I think it’s just people passing 

through the area,” he said. 

Mr Shallcrass has reported 

eight graffiti incidents in Halswell 

already this month. 

Which is a large increase compared 

to his one report in December 

and two in November. 

He uses the city council’s Snap, 

Send, Solve application to record 

the vandalism. 

The application works by identifying 

the location the photo is 

taken using the phone’s Global 

Positioning System data. 

It sends an email to the city 

council from your email address, 

including the incident type, notes, 

address of incident, photo and 

contact details. 

The report is then allocated to 

the city council. 

Mr Shallcrass doesn’t believe 

school holidays have anything to 

do with the rise in graffiti.

Lincoln Rd’s four-lane plan 

Halswell 

Residents’ 

Association 

secretary David 

Hawke writes 

about roading 

changes in 

the area and 

how they will affect the 

community 

THE FOUR-LANING of Lincoln 

Rd, between Curletts and 

Wrights Rds, looks to be going 

ahead after years of languishing 

unbudgeted in the city council’s 

Long Term Plan. 

The four-laning is for 

bus priority, not cars. Once 

completed, this will allow the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

to four-lane its section of Lincoln 

and Halswell Rds, again for bus 

priority. 

At one level, this is a great idea. 

Giving buses the chance to make 

their way without being caught 

up in car traffic will shorten 

travel time and make their travel 

time more consistent. These 

improvements will encourage 

people to use the bus at peak 

times. 

The problem is what happens 

when these buses (and all the 

cars from the ever-growing 

numbers of houses) arrive at the 

gates of Addington Village – the 

intersection with Whiteleigh 

Ave? Although the need for the 

improvement of this intersection 

is well understood, we need plans 

and action. 

The stated reason for the fourlaning 

is to enable increased bus 

frequency and increased bus 

reliability. 

However, buses already run 

every 15min, and we query how 

much this frequency can be 

OPENING 

NIGHT 

THIS FRIDAY & SATURDAY NIGHT 

increased. Our counts 

show that buses are already 

nearly full at peak 

times, so it’s unlikely 

that the improved reliability 

can do much to 

boost patronage in the 

face of ongoing population 

growth. 

And again, what happens 

when these buses 

arrive at Addington? 

There is clearly the 

potential for Addington 

Village to drown in a sea 

of cars (and buses). 

Halswell Residents’ 

Association would like to 

see some outside-the-square 

thinking about both transport 

and work in the south-west of 

Christchurch (including Prebbleton, 

Lincoln, Rolleston), rather 

than the piecemeal approach that 

city council seems to be following. 

This was an idea we got from 

Wigram MP Megan Woods. It 

fits well with the intent of the 

Greater Christchurch Urban 

Development Strategy, and seems 

pretty good to us. 

Some random ideas come t 

mind too: Mixed-mode travel, 

car-sharing, e-bike subsidies, 

work-from-home schemes and 

children going to their local 

schools. 

Readers react to the 

support shown by 

Weedons residents 

for their Templeton 

neighbours in a bid to stop 

Fulton Hogan’s quarry 

plans 

Heather Wilkins - People 

want the quarry for there roads 

etc and don’t complain about 

that, but the quarry has 

to go somewhere and 

the further away it goes, 

the more we pay for 

those things. 

Lynn Mortlock – 

Oh for a city council 

that would actually fight 

for the ratepayers . . . not against. 

Stephan Lance Gardiner 

– Is anything actually supported 

nowadays. Or do people over a 

certain age have nothing better 

to do? 

WESTERN NEWS 

PLANS: The 

letter from 

Fulton Hogan 

included a 

map showing 

the location of 

the proposed 

170ha quarry 

on Dawsons, 

Curraghs and 

Jones Rds. 

Michael Robinson – “Any 

new consents should not allow 

any dust to cross the quarry’s 

boundaries.” Is it a quarry under 

a dome? Or do the nor-west/ 

south-west winds stop at the 

boundary? 

Deb Flanagan – How about 

the city council get some ethical 

backbone and do their job and 

support the wishes of 

their residents who pay 

their rates, rather than 

bending over for big 

business. 

Joanne McMaster 

– If you think silica 

dust can be contained in 

howling nor-west and southerly 

winds you are kidding yourself. 

Brian Tones – All quarry’s 

are watered down on a regular 

basis no need to panic about 

dust. Some of you need to get a 

life, come into the real world.

Conor lives the surfing dream SPORTS 

• By Sophie Cornish 

CONOR MCLENNAN is living 

every young surfers dream – 

hitting the school books in the 

morning and riding waves in the 

afternoon. 

The former Christchurch Boys’ 

High School student recently 

won the under-18 title at the 

national surfing championships 

in Gisborne. 

Originating from Waimairi 

Beach, Conor, 17, represented 

his home club, North Wai 

Boardriders, in the competition. 

He moved to Raglan in 2016 to 

start at the Raglan Surf Academy. 

The programme is part of Raglan 

Area School and was set up in 

1998. 

It allows students to complete 

NCEA while learning about 

surfing both in and out of the 

classroom. 

“We write reports about 

surfing, the safety of surfing 

and trying to get out to surf 

breaks, then every lunchtime 

we will finish up and go surfing. 

It’s a great life, I love it,” said 

Conor. 

The national final came down 

to a tight finish, which Conor 

said made time go by “very, 

very slowly.” 

“It was the best feeling ever, I 

don’t think words can describe 

how stoked I was to win that, I’ve 

been working so hard for it for 

the last year and it all paid off. It’s 

a really good way for me to start 

the year,” he said. 

His parents watched on from 

the beach. 

“It was a very cool feeling to 

win in front of my mum and dad 

FORMER Christchurch Boys’ 

High golfer Dominic Brettkelly 

won the Canterbury stroke play 

in a sudden death shoot-off. 

He, along with Rangiora’s 

Kazuma Kobori, were tied on 

212 after three rounds forcing 

a shoot-off which Brettkelly 

won on the second hole at the 

Waitikiri Golf Club on Sunday 

. He also won the best under-19 

score title. 

Burnside High’s Juliana Hung 

won the senior women’s title 

shooting 75, 69 and 68 for a 

combined 212 six shots ahead of 

Jeonghyun Lee. 

A Canterbury Golf spokeswoman 

said the full field of 96 

players had great conditions 

over the weekend but also playing 

a course which was in excellent 

condition. 

“The field was strengthened 

with over 30 entries from outside 

the region, predominately 

due to the enhanced initiative 

formed with Otago and Southland 

Golf this year,” she said. 

Brettkelly was also the winner 

of the inaugural Ron Clement 

Memorial Trophy which was 

presented by Ron’s wife Rae and 

daughter Tracy. 

“Clements was heavily 

involved in the development 

of junior golf and so it is 

fitting that this year we now 

have the Ron Clements Memorial 

Trophy which is awarded 

for the best under-19 boys 

score,” she said. 

. . . to win in front of them was 

probably the greatest feeling of it 

all,” he said. 

Conor won another national 

title in 2014 at the national 

scholastic secondary schools 

championship. 

He was also the under-17 

IT IS the dream start to the year 

for Christchurch golfer Amelia 

Garvey with an opportunity to 

learn from former world No 1 

Lydia Ko in the United States. 

Garvey will travel with 

Auckland’s Rose Zheng to 

Scottsdale in Phoenix, Arizona 

and spend time with Ko, training 

and playing at one of the most 

exclusive golfing establishments in 

the world after being offered the 

scholarship by New Zealand Golf 

and Ko. 

The former Burnside High student 

is ranked No 1 in Canterbury 

and ninth in the New Zealand 

amateur rankings. 

The pair will be with Ko from 

Thursday to Saturday learning 

about the game they both want to 

Billabong grom series champion 

last year. 

Conor is already looking 

ahead to the future, hoping to 

secure himself a spot in the 

New Zealand under-18 junior 

worlds team, which he narrowing 

missed out on last year, making a 

pursue as a career. 

For Garvey, last year was a 

success. Her highlights included

stroke play championship 

and being the only New Zealand 

amateur to make the half-way cut 

in the LPGA Tour New Zealand 

Women’s Open. 

Those performances helped her 

secure a golf scholarship to the 

University of Southern California 

which she will start after her time 

with Ko. 

Ko, who signed to play with 

PXG clubs last year, said the motivation 

behind the scholarship is 

so she can give back to the game 

by inspiring the next generation 

of females to strive for the top to 

see what it takes to get there and 

help grow the number of New 

Zealanders competing with her on 

the LPGA Tour.

MICHAEL Jackson fans will be moonwalking their way to 

theatres next month as the Michael Jackson HIStory Show 

makes it's return to New Zealand. 

Aer an approximate 5000+ performances in the past nine 

years across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong, 

Dubai, Indonesia, South Africa, Canada and the US, word of 

this show has spread amongst the MJ community, with the 

show being inundated with pleas to come back to the NZ 

stage. It was this persistent devotion of admirers that allowed 

producer John Van Grinsven to hear the requests loud and 

clear, ultimately leading to the Michael Jackson HIStory 

Show's return. 

e world-class production showcases all of Michael 

Jackson's greatest hits live on stage, complemented by the 

famous dance moves that fans all know, love and aspire to do. 

Star of the show, Dantanio, will be accompanied by a lively 

six-piece band, four groovy backup dancers and a 

phenomenal lighting team. 

e show features 40 different customised costumes, 

twenty of which are for the MJ character alone. Over 100 

hours have been dedicated to the lighting design, which 

makes use of 160+ moving lights and over 2000 lighting cues 

arranged to punctuate and enhance the musical elements of 

the show. 

Playing the role of Michael is Dantanio, a South African 

theatre performer and solo recording artist who has been 

studying and impersonating Jackson since the age of nine! 

e Michael Jackson HIStory Show takes place at the Isaac 

eatre Royal on Monday 19th February 2018. 

Tickets are on sale now at Ticketek or visit 

www.mjhistoryshow.com for ticketing and further 

information.
