Ban freedom campers<br />

Yacht club<br />

chief wants<br />

same for<br />

Akaroa<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

A PUSH to prohibit freedom<br />

camping within Akaroa<br />

township is gaining momentum<br />

after Queenstown announced a<br />

ban at two hot spots.<br />

Akaroa Yacht Club<br />

commodore<br />

Howard Wilson<br />

wants the<br />

city council<br />

to follow<br />

Queenstown’s<br />

lead after Mayor<br />

Howard<br />

Wilson<br />

Jim Boult<br />

last month<br />

announced a<br />

ban at popular<br />

Lake Hayes and the Shotover<br />

Delta. Dr Wilson said he is<br />

keen to see the same happen in<br />

Akaroa.<br />

He will make a deputation to<br />

the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board later this month – and had<br />

originally planned to speak about<br />

the need for better enforcement.<br />

But following Queenstown’s<br />

move, he will now be seeking a<br />

complete ban.<br />

It comes after photographs<br />

were sent to the city council<br />

documenting faeces and toilet<br />

paper at the entry to a local park<br />

and campers spotted washing<br />

dishes and clothing at a public<br />

fountain in the Akaroa recreation<br />

area.<br />

“I’ve never been aware of it<br />

being so bad – not just in Akaroa<br />

but everywhere,” Dr Wilson said.<br />

“When people are flagrantly<br />

abusing the area, it affects<br />

tourism and health. It does have<br />

health and safety issues. I think<br />

they need to look seriously at<br />

banning it.”<br />

Freedom campers are already<br />

prohibited at French Farm,<br />

Wainui and Children’s <strong>Bay</strong>, but<br />

fully self-contained camper vans<br />

can park at the Akaroa Sports<br />

Complex, the Akaroa Yacht Club<br />

and the Akaroa Lighthouse for a<br />

maximum of two days.<br />

Dr Wilson has support from<br />

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner,<br />

who said he would like to see the<br />

prohibition extended to the yacht<br />

club and lighthouse sites.<br />

YACHT CLUB commodores aren’t people to<br />

be trifled with.<br />

So when one fires a broadside it pays to<br />

take notice (see page 1).<br />

Akaroa Yacht Club commodore Howard<br />

Wilson wants freedom campers banned<br />

from the village. I suspect he has many supporters.<br />

It’s similar to what Queenstown has implemented; banning<br />

freedom campers from some areas in the tourist haven.<br />

Wilson has had enough of what freedom campers leave behind.<br />

He will make a deputation to the Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board later this month. He had originally planned to speak about<br />

the need for better enforcement. On the basis of that we’ve canvassed<br />

the board members for their views.<br />

Some have answered; others haven’t responded.<br />

Rubbish bin clearing<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

RUBBISH BINS will be emptied<br />

twice a day in the Sumner<br />

area after the city council was<br />

criticised for failing to keep up<br />

with clearing rubbish bins.<br />

The bins were previously<br />

scheduled for one collection per<br />

day, Sunday-Friday, and two on<br />

Saturday.<br />

However, scorching<br />

temperatures drawing people<br />

to the beach put pressure on<br />

the bins – leading residents to<br />

speak out.<br />

Now an evening collection<br />

has been added to the daily<br />

schedule, which includes<br />

Taylors Mistake.<br />

City council acting head of<br />

parks Brent Smith said there<br />

had been an increase in rubbish<br />

volumes. Its contractor had<br />

collected 20 per cent more<br />

rubbish when compared to the<br />

same period last year.<br />

As well as the extra<br />

collections, the city council was<br />

investigating other changes.<br />

“We’re looking at the number<br />

and style of bins we provide<br />

and we are also looking at<br />

improved signage to inform<br />

and encourage appropriate<br />

behaviour,’’ Mr Smith said.<br />

He said the city council has<br />

had a high number of illegal<br />

rubbish dumping reported.<br />

“We have had 72 requests<br />

for service come in over the<br />

past two months that relate to<br />

rubbish being dumped illegally,<br />

which is an unacceptably high<br />

number,” he said.<br />

“We do our best to keep<br />

our beaches, parks and public<br />

spaces tidy by making sure we<br />

regularly empty the rubbish<br />

bins, but we need the public<br />

to play their part too and take<br />

some civic responsibility,’’ Mr<br />

Smith said.<br />

•A public meeting will be<br />

held at the Sumner Centre:<br />

tomorrow to discuss ideas on<br />

how to make Sumner tidier.<br />

council approval on Thursday. The<br />

SKATE PARK OPENING SOON<br />

The upgraded Lyttelton skate park is<br />

on track for a <strong>February</strong> 26 opening.<br />

The $375,000 site upgrade has been<br />

funded primarily by the city council<br />

– with some financial support from<br />

South Port in Bluff. Work began<br />

in November and when complete,<br />

the park will feature a new bowl, a<br />

quarter pipe, ramps, rails and edges,<br />

and a fresh “side-to-side flow.”<br />

HIGH FIRE RISK<br />

The fire risk remains high after<br />

Christchurch sweltered through<br />

the hottest January on record.<br />

NIWA’s monthly climate summary<br />

showed the city recorded a mean<br />

temperature 2.7 deg C more than<br />

the normal. Dry conditions and<br />

a further month of summer heat<br />

are keeping fire authorities on<br />

high alert. A wildfire broke out<br />

on Thursday on the hills above<br />

Cass <strong>Bay</strong> but ground crews and<br />

helicopters prevented any significant<br />

damage to property.<br />

Take a trip down memory lane<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

TAKE A trip down memory lane<br />

this weekend at the fifth annual<br />

Nostalgia Festival.<br />

The event, held at Ferrymead<br />

Heritage Park on Saturday, was<br />

recently named as one of the<br />

fastest growing and most-loved<br />

festivals in the country by Air<br />

New Zealand, organiser Johnny<br />

Gibson said.<br />

He’s curated an eclectic range<br />

of acts for all ages and flavours<br />

this year, from cult Dunedin<br />

pop-rock group The Chills to Los<br />

Angeles-based musical prodigy<br />

Connan Mockasin.<br />

It retains a local edge with<br />

award-winning singer-songwriter<br />

and Heathcote resident,<br />

Amiria Grenell, appearing with<br />

Amy Grace on the main stage as<br />

The Swan Sisters.<br />

Grenell’s latest, Autumn, was<br />

a finalist for best folk album at<br />

the 2016 New Zealand Music<br />

Awards.<br />

She has toured Australasia<br />

with Fly My Pretties and is in<br />

demand for festivals and events,<br />

both as a solo performer and a<br />

children’s entertainer.<br />

Also on the main stage, Lyttelton-based<br />

musician Richard<br />

Larsen appears with Glass Vaults<br />

– a popular Wellington group<br />

SYNTH-POP: Lyttelton-based Richard Larsen will appear with<br />

The Glass Vaults<br />

producing bright, psychedelic<br />

pop tunes. About 600 people<br />

attended the inaugural Nostalgia<br />

Festival in 2014 – this year, more<br />

than four thousand are expected.<br />

Mr Gibson said they were a<br />

“community-minded” festival.<br />

“We grow organically – we<br />

don’t have a huge marketing<br />

budget and blast it across the<br />

city. An underground festival is<br />

probably the best way to describe<br />

it; it’s unique to the city and<br />

unique to Ferrymead Heritage<br />

Park.”<br />

A second stage has been<br />

added this year showcasing local<br />

emerging artists and old school<br />

vinyl-spinning DJ’s like Pylonz<br />

and Instant Fantasy and the<br />

uber-experienced Simon Kong.<br />

Don’t expect hot dogs and candyfloss<br />

vans; vendors are “real<br />

food enthusiasts” like Sumner’s<br />

Utopia Ice, Gatherings Restaurant<br />

and Lyttelton food delivery<br />

business, Green Dinner Table,<br />

said Mr Gibson.<br />

ALL AGES: Everyone is welcome at Nostalgia Festival.<br />

“We’ve been accredited as a<br />

conscious consumer festival<br />

three years ago so we have been<br />

working with the city council<br />

on a zero waste system as well;<br />

we’ll have reusable cups. We try<br />

to have as little an impact on the<br />

venue as possible.”<br />

As well as music, food and<br />

drink, there are street performers,<br />

hourly theatre shows, steam<br />

train rides and all of the regular<br />

attractions within the park.<br />

The festival is popular with<br />

families and children and to<br />

support those with little ones<br />

Plunket Canterbury are providing<br />

a feeding and nappy change<br />

station as well.<br />

Nostalgia Festival at<br />

Ferrymead Heritage Park<br />

runs from 12.30pm till 8pm<br />

on Saturday. For tickets, go<br />

Summit Rd night ban unlikely<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

Andrew<br />

Turner<br />

NIGHT-TIME restrictions on<br />

Summit Rd are looking unlikely.<br />

Following negative public<br />

feedback, city council staff will<br />

not be recommending that<br />

proposed night-time access<br />

restrictions to Summit Rd and<br />

Worsleys Rd go ahead.<br />

However, a final recommendation<br />

to the city council will<br />

only be made by<br />

the hearings panel<br />

after community<br />

deputations are<br />

heard on <strong>February</strong><br />

15.<br />

The time restrictions<br />

would<br />

prohibit vehicles<br />

under 3500kg<br />

from 10pm to 5am,<br />

Thursday to Monday, and on<br />

public holidays and were an attempt<br />

to address concerns about<br />

anti-social road use, safety,<br />

vandalism, fire and littering.<br />

Public consultation resulted in<br />

865 submissions – 545 did not<br />

support the proposal, 221 were<br />

in support, and 99 were in support<br />

but had some concerns.<br />

These included restricting<br />

landscape and astronomy<br />

photographers; penalising<br />

sightseekers; that it could drive<br />

NIGHT VISION: Photographers wanting to take night-time images from the Summit Rd would<br />

be affected by proposed vehicle restrictions.<br />

the problem elsewhere; and<br />

that it would not be adequately<br />

enforced by police.<br />

Favourable comments related<br />

to making the road safer for<br />

cyclists and that Summit Rd was<br />

a safer place for boy racers to be<br />

than in the city where it is more<br />

heavily populated.<br />

A hearings panel will meet<br />

to hear submitters on <strong>February</strong><br />

15, then make a final recommendation<br />

to the city council on<br />

whether to adopt the proposal.<br />

Banks Peninsula city councillor<br />

Andrew Turner is on the<br />

panel and said for him, it would<br />

be a question of looking at what<br />

the effects of a ban would be,<br />

namely “whether we’ve got a<br />

problem that would be displaced<br />

into other areas.”<br />

There was no point in putting<br />

rules in place if they weren’t going<br />

to be enforced, he said.<br />

“We can put whatever rules<br />

in place we want, but if they’re<br />

not going to have any practical<br />

effect because of lack of an<br />

enforcement regime . . . that’s<br />

something we need to be aware<br />

of.”<br />

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen<br />

told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News last<br />

August there won’t be any extra<br />

police to enforce the proposed<br />

night-time restrictions.<br />

City council manager transport<br />

operations Aaron Haymes<br />

said city council staff would<br />

continue to work with police.<br />

He said speed humps and<br />

gates had been investigated “but<br />

are not considered appropriate<br />

for this particular situation.”<br />

Concern over<br />

changes to bus<br />

stop locations<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

NEARLY HALF of submitters are<br />

against plans to change pedestrian<br />

crossing and bus stop locations on<br />

Oxford St, Lyttleton.<br />

The city council wants to make<br />

the temporary pedestrian crossing<br />

point at the intersection of Oxford<br />

and Winchester Sts permanent and<br />

replace the two existing bus stops<br />

on Winchester and Oxford Sts,<br />

which are positioned close together,<br />

with a single bus stop outside Lyttelton<br />

School on Oxford St.<br />

New three-minute and two-hour<br />

parking restrictions are also proposed<br />

outside Lyttelton Primary<br />

School to assist the pick-up/drop-off<br />

for parents and daytime visitors to<br />

the school and surrounding area.<br />

The proposals would mean some<br />

on-street parking being removed.<br />

There were 22 submissions with<br />

six respondents in general support,<br />

seven supporting the plan but with<br />

some concerns, and nine respondents<br />

not in support.<br />

Concerns centered on the loss<br />

of the Winchester St bus stop –<br />

which services nearby pensioner<br />

flats – and reduced car parking for<br />

residents and visitors.<br />

Call for freedom campers ban<br />

SCENIC: The scenic views from the Akaroa Lighthouse have made it a popular spot with<br />

freedom campers.<br />

PHOTO: DANIEL GERHARD<br />

•From page 1<br />

“Akaroa town centre and the<br />

residential area around it are not<br />

appropriate places for freedom<br />

camping. A small number of<br />

spaces should be set aside by<br />

the boat park . . . there is also a<br />

camping ground in Akaroa and<br />

there are other camping opportunities<br />

on Banks Peninsula,” said<br />

Mr Turner.<br />

He said when the city council<br />

passed the Freedom Camping<br />

Bylaw in 2015, only sites which<br />

had experienced problems could<br />

have restrictions imposed.<br />

“At the time we put the bylaw<br />

together, you were only allowed<br />

to create a bylaw that addressed<br />

problems under the Freedom<br />

Camping Act and we didn’t have<br />

problems in the residential area<br />

of wider Akaroa at that time. We<br />

did have problems in Akaroa<br />

town centre. I think on a review<br />

of the bylaw it would be easy now<br />

for us to take a more restrictive<br />

view . . . while allowing some<br />

freedom camping at the entrance<br />

by the boat park.”<br />

Any changes to the bylaw<br />

would have to be done as part of<br />

a review, which isn’t set down for<br />

another five years.<br />

However, Cr Turner encouraged<br />

residents to engage with the<br />

city council and the Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board, which<br />

could request a review.<br />

“It may be that we (the city<br />

council) could make some small<br />

changes, responding to that sort<br />

of a request.”<br />

When <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News asked<br />

whether a ban would be looked<br />

at, city council acting head of<br />

regulatory compliance Claire Le<br />

Grice said there were “no plans to<br />

consider banning freedom camping<br />

in Akaroa at this time.”<br />

She said the city council would<br />

maintain a “watching brief” on<br />

activities over the summer period.<br />

Meanwhile, Akaroa Police<br />

Senior Constable Anita Osborne<br />

is encouraging members of the<br />

public to report any sightings<br />

of people relieving themselves<br />

in a public place. In a Facebook<br />

post on the issue, she said even<br />

if police were not in the area, the<br />

job would be recorded and staff<br />

dispatched.<br />

“Take down vehicle registration<br />

details, and if possible get<br />

photos of the person(s). Then if<br />

they do leave the area we can still<br />

follow up so that they don’t keep<br />

doing it wherever they go,” Ms<br />

Osborne said.<br />

Although she had been told informally<br />

about people using the<br />

cemetery, parks and lighthouse<br />

area in Akaroa as a toilet, she said<br />

no one had phoned the police at<br />

the time it was happening.<br />

If more people made complaints<br />

either to police or to the<br />

city council, there would be more<br />

“In any of those areas in<br />

Enforcement is<br />

Seafarer funding meeting<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

A MEETING will be held with<br />

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch<br />

to discuss funding for the<br />

seafarers centre – including a<br />

possible levy on visiting ships.<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel has<br />

asked Deputy Mayor Andrew<br />

Turner and city council staff to<br />

meet with LPC and report back<br />

within two months.<br />

The issue of how the centre is<br />

funded was raised as part of a<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board report to the city council<br />

last Thursday.<br />

The chairman<br />

of the<br />

Lyttelton<br />

Seafarers’<br />

Centre charitable<br />

trust<br />

John McLister,<br />

wants to see a<br />

John McLister<br />

port levy on<br />

visiting ships<br />

to fund longer<br />

opening hours and a full-time<br />

welfare officer.<br />

He said the city council has a<br />

moral obligation to provide for<br />

seafarer welfare under the Maritime<br />

Labour Convention.<br />

Currently, LPC contributes<br />

$5000 yearly towards running<br />

costs at the centre, which provides<br />

currency exchange, Wi-Fi,<br />

phone and welfare services from<br />

TEMPORARY: The Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre needs more<br />

money to be able to expand its services.<br />

7-10pm Monday-Friday but<br />

Mr McLister said that was not<br />

enough.<br />

It should be open 50 hours a<br />

week to meet demand, he said.<br />

He also wants to see a full-time<br />

welfare officer employed who<br />

can go onboard ships.<br />

Ms Dalziel said the city council<br />

could not direct LPC to impose<br />

a levy – however, meeting<br />

with them in the first instance<br />

to talk about the issue would be<br />

a good first step.<br />

“A conversation with LPC<br />

may resolve the situation.”<br />

She said if central government<br />

directed every port in the country<br />

to levy for on-shore welfare<br />

services, “costs would fall where<br />

they lie – with the employers of<br />

the seafarers.”<br />

Central Ward city councillor<br />

Deon Swiggs said the city had<br />

an airport with excellent facilities<br />

for airline staff to use after<br />

long flights.<br />

“We don’t have those same<br />

level of facilities for people that<br />

have been a ship for six months<br />

potentially.”<br />

The city council also passed a<br />

resolution supporting the provision<br />

of access to shore-based<br />

welfare facilities as set out in the<br />

MLC.<br />

Mr McLister said the city council<br />

had shown “wonderful support”<br />

for the work of the centre.<br />

“The good thing is that now<br />

all the parties involved in the<br />

welfare of the seafarers can begin<br />

a constructive conversation<br />

about how we . . . ensure the best<br />

welcome is possible for seafarers<br />

coming to Lyttelton, rather than<br />

just leaving that to the welfare<br />

organisation.”<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

New Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> slipway<br />

needs to be repaired<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

AN EXPERIMENTAL new<br />

slipway at the Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> boat<br />

ramp site hasn’t worked and will<br />

need to be fixed.<br />

It was put in by the city council<br />

prior to Christmas but on Friday<br />

city council manager capital delivery<br />

community Darren Moses<br />

confirmed it wasn’t installed<br />

correctly,<br />

Prior to installation, decaying<br />

concrete was removed from the<br />

original ramp - shortening its<br />

length.<br />

And the hinged extension sits<br />

much higher than the original<br />

ramp beneath, making the dropoff<br />

difficult to launch from.<br />

Christchurch Yacht Club commodore<br />

Richard Ineson said it<br />

was “a bit of a shambles” at the<br />

moment as sailors and jet skiers<br />

were avoiding the slipway and<br />

launching off the beach instead.<br />

This was creating concern<br />

amongst beachgoers.<br />

Mr Ineson and club president<br />

Lyndsey Ebert met with engineer<br />

Paul Ferguson and city council<br />

parks project manager Steven<br />

Gray last week to talk about the<br />

club’s concerns.<br />

The club has its own slipway,<br />

said Mr Ineson, but does use<br />

PROBLEM: This slipway at<br />

the Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> boat ramp<br />

was placed too high, making it<br />

difficult for boats and jet skiers<br />

to launch from. ​<br />

the city council one as the lack<br />

of rocks and concrete made it<br />

“friendlier” for yachts and other<br />

boats.<br />

Mr Moses said discussions<br />

were “ongoing with the yacht<br />

club to determine an agreed<br />

solution, which, in turn, will<br />

determine timing of remedial<br />

works and costs.”<br />

Still Me By Jojo Moyes<br />

The third Lou Clark novel by Jojo Moyes, following the Number<br />

One international bestsellers Me Before You and After You Lou Clark<br />

arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she<br />

can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with<br />

Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She is hurled<br />

into the world of the super-rich Gopniks: Leonard and his much<br />

younger second wife, Agnes, and a never-ending array of household<br />

staff and hangers-on. Lou is determined to get the most out of the<br />

experience and throws herself into her job and New York life within<br />

this privileged world. Before she knows what’s happening, Lou is<br />

mixing in New York high society, where she meets Joshua Ryan, a<br />

man who brings with him a whisper of her past. In Still Me, as Lou<br />

tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself<br />

carrying secrets - not all her own - that cause a catastrophic change<br />

in her circumstances. And when matters come to a head, she has to<br />

ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart<br />

that lives in two places?<br />

Fire and Fury By Michael Wolff<br />

With extraordinary access to the Trump White House, Michael Wolff tells the<br />

inside story of the most controversial presidency of our time. The first nine<br />

months of Donald Trump’s term were stormy, outrageous, and absolutely<br />

mesmerising. Now, thanks to his deep access to the West Wing, bestselling<br />

author Michael Wolff tells the fascinating story of how Trump launched a<br />

tenure as volatile and fiery as the man himself. In this explosive book, Wolff<br />

provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office. Among<br />

the revelations: - What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him - What<br />

inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama - Why FBI<br />

director James Comey was really fired - Why chief strategist Steve Bannon<br />

and Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner couldn’t be in the same room -<br />

Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of<br />

Bannon’s firing - What the secret to communicating with Trump is - What the<br />

Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers. Never<br />

before has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported<br />

and astoundingly fresh, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury shows us how and<br />

why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion.<br />

Breaking Free By rachel Jeffs<br />

In this searing memoir of survival in the spirit of Stolen Innocence, the<br />

daughter of the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Church takes you<br />

deep inside the secretive, polygamist and fundamentalist Mormon cult<br />

run by her family and recounts her escape. Born into the Fundamentalist<br />

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a<br />

strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they<br />

must obey. No one in this radical splinter sect of the Mormon Church was<br />

more powerful or terrifying than its leader Warren Jeffs--Rachel’s father. In<br />

2006 the FBI placed him on its Ten Most Wanted List. Rachel describes her<br />

harrowing life with Warren Jeffs, and the years of physical and emotional<br />

abuse she suffered. Sexually assaulted, compelled into an arranged<br />

polygamous marriage, locked away in ‘houses of hiding’, as punishment<br />

for perceived transgressions, and physically separated from her children,<br />

Rachel eventually found the courage to leave the church in 2015. A<br />

shocking and mesmerising memoir of faith, abuse, courage and freedom,<br />

this is an expose of religious extremism and a beacon of hope for anyone<br />

overcoming obstacles or trauma in their own lives.<br />

Life of a Bank Peninsula police officer<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

•From page 11<br />

I went to the early stages of the<br />

recruitment process thinking<br />

it probably wouldn’t be for me.<br />

because I was quite a private, shy<br />

sort of person. But I thoroughly<br />

enjoyed it. When I got sent out<br />

on experience in patrol cars – I<br />

loved it. I was lucky enough that<br />

that year they were recruiting for<br />

Christchurch and they weren’t<br />

for Rotorua so we as a family all<br />

moved down to Christchurch.<br />

Where did you train?<br />

I went to the Royal New Zealand<br />

Police College in Wellington<br />

for six months while my family<br />

stayed in Rotorua, and once I<br />

finished my training, we all<br />

moved south. Before that, I had a<br />

community work job and I was a<br />

psychiatric nurse prior to that.<br />

Could you tell me a bit about<br />

your family?<br />

My children are now all in<br />

their 20s. I’ve got a 29-year-old<br />

daughter and 26-year-old twin<br />

boys. One of the boys was interested<br />

in police work but he’s off<br />

doing other things at the moment<br />

so I’m not sure if he’ll come back<br />

to it. My boys are in Christchurch<br />

and my daughter is an artist and<br />

she lives over here as well. She<br />

It’s good to have them all living<br />

close by.<br />

LIFE-CHANGING: Senior Constable Anita Osborne during her<br />

deployment in the Solomon Islands in 2011.<br />

Do you do shift work?<br />

We have rostered day and<br />

evening shifts, but then we’re<br />

on call for two-thirds of the<br />

time. So this week, I’m in an<br />

eight-day roster and five nights<br />

of that are on call which is a real<br />

long haul. But I have a shared<br />

property with my family – my<br />

parents and my daughter – so<br />

they pick up the slack for me.<br />

They’re great. I’ve got dogs and<br />

I don’t have to worry about all<br />

that, they take care of things<br />

when I’m called out for extended<br />

hours. I’ve got border collies<br />

and my son’s chocolate labrador<br />

at the moment. He’s in a house<br />

in Christchurch which doesn’t<br />

allow dogs. I got my collie about<br />

10 years ago and then the other<br />

son got a border collie that was<br />

an ex-farm dog, so I’ve ended up<br />

with his one as well. I’m like the<br />

home for adopted dogs from the<br />

children – I hear that’s common.<br />

What’s the toughest part of<br />

your job?<br />

Dealing with confrontation<br />

and angry people. And going<br />

from a difficult, stressful job<br />

where someone died and then<br />

having to deal with another job<br />

where the person who’s rocked<br />

up to the station door has no idea<br />

what you’ve just been dealing<br />

with and what they’ve come to<br />

complain about is a big deal for<br />

them. So you’re trying to still<br />

meet their needs even if it seems<br />

like a trivial matter compared<br />

to what you’ve just been dealing<br />

with. That’s the really, really hard<br />

stuff – you’re on the phone or in<br />

person with someone who’s just<br />

had this life-changing thing happen<br />

and someone else comes in<br />

to complain that their neighbour<br />

has cut a branch off their tree.<br />

What do you get up to in your<br />

down-time?<br />

Tramping, kayaking, paddleboarding,<br />

biking. I do a trip to<br />

Australia each year with Cycle<br />

Queensland, which is a 10-day<br />

cycle trip. It’s about 600km of<br />

biking and all the logistics are<br />

done – your stuff gets taken by<br />

truck each day, you just get on<br />

your bike and go. I’ve done it<br />

about six times; it’s a really good<br />

trip. You book in, you pay for it,<br />

you book your flight, you turn up<br />

and you bike, and at the end of<br />

the day there’s a tent with meals<br />

and sometimes a band playing.<br />

You’ve been a police officer for<br />

nearly 21 years. How has the job<br />

changed you?<br />

Majorly. Like I said, I was a<br />

pretty introverted person before.<br />

I’ve had to really work on my<br />

confidence and the job helps you<br />

get a wide experience. I was in<br />

the negotiators squad for a while,<br />

I was a detective for 12 years<br />

and I did a deployment to the<br />

Solomon Islands for six months.<br />

Every time I’ve tackled a new<br />

challenge I can see that I changed<br />

a lot. The Solomon Islands<br />

particularly was massive – going<br />

away from your family, being in<br />

such a different country. I think<br />

it was the second day I was there<br />

they had a riot and there were<br />

rocks flying everywhere. It was<br />

very different to New Zealand.<br />

It taught me that when you have<br />

limited resources people-wise,<br />

you have to be creative in how to<br />

resolve things. I’ve got no plans<br />

to change – I’m really enjoying<br />

community policing.<br />

We said:<br />

Christchurch Yacht Club in<br />

Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> was swamped<br />

by teens on a recent hot<br />

day, leading to an “out of<br />

control” situation.<br />

You said:<br />

Cathryn Lucy – This is<br />

absolutely disgusting. If you<br />

scum want to put in even half the<br />

effort members of the club do to<br />

maintain the yacht club facilities,<br />

ensure we have safe and fun<br />

racing, and provide an amazing<br />

community for yachties, you’d<br />

be run off your feet.<br />

The public are lucky enough to<br />

be able to use the location without<br />

paying a membership fee.<br />

How dare you be obnoxious to<br />

club members, compromise the<br />

safety of sailors, and get in the<br />

way of the operation of the club.<br />

Well handled, Richard and Jo. I<br />

always have the utmost respect<br />

for you guys, and I wish others<br />

would too. I have never heard of<br />

this ever being an issue before.<br />

This is so disappointing.<br />

Roxanne Oliver - I saw how<br />

many the other weekend it was<br />

so very busy. I didn’t believe my<br />

eyes so this does not surprise me.<br />

Jet skis there as well.<br />

Philip Nelson – Very poor<br />

behaviour, but it does go to show<br />

there is a need for more councilowned<br />

pontoons and jetties that<br />

the public can access.<br />

Janice Belgrave – I don’t<br />

think obnoxious behaviour is on,<br />

but do agree that it has exposed<br />

a need for an alternative to<br />

swimming at the beach.<br />

The beach itself is never<br />

without danger either, and<br />

whenever people are around<br />

water anywhere, there is a<br />

possible potential for incidents.<br />

In years gone by, this body of<br />

water has not been that inviting<br />

for swimming, due to pollution,<br />

but now that that issue seems to<br />

have been somewhat resolved,<br />

perhaps there could be a section<br />

marked off with buoys or<br />

wavebreaker ropes such as pool<br />

lane markers, to allow for the<br />

harmonious use by swimmers<br />

and sailors alike?<br />

John Goodrich – I was<br />

alarmed to see the ‘Abusive teens<br />

out of control’ headline in the<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News (January 31).<br />

While I have some sympathy<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

for Richard Ineson’s, issues, his<br />

experience is totally different<br />

from ours. My wife and I, 65 and<br />

65-plus respectively, have swum<br />

there several times recently and<br />

have been met with nothing but<br />

courtesy, smiles and groups of<br />

young people simply enjoying<br />

themselves.<br />

Our generation bemoans the<br />

fact that children and young<br />

people are no longer doing all the<br />

physical and outdoor things that<br />

we did at their age, and are more<br />

interested in social media, smartphones<br />

and video games.<br />

Here we have groups of them<br />

doing exactly what we would<br />

have done, and we seem to only<br />

be able to criticise. This is not the<br />

only occasion I’ve come across<br />

this. I recently witnessed a couple<br />

on the bus getting very annoyed<br />

with a small group of young<br />

people for doing nothing more<br />

that being noisy on their way to<br />

spending time on the beach.<br />

In the eyes of many it seems<br />

that the younger generation can’t<br />

win and I find that very sad.<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Fundraiser for health<br />

hub reaches $1m<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

ONE MILLION dollars has<br />

been raised by the community<br />

towards Akaroa’s news health<br />

hub and a decision on a<br />

contractor is expected soon.<br />

The facility will house 12 beds<br />

for inpatient and aged care, a<br />

general practice and other community<br />

services.<br />

The $4.5 million facility, a<br />

partnership between the Canterbury<br />

District Health Board and<br />

the community, will be built on<br />

the former Akaroa Hospital site.<br />

The community has been<br />

without a hospital since it was<br />

demolished following the September<br />

4, 2010, earthquake.<br />

Canterbury District Health<br />

Board received submissions<br />

from prospective building<br />

contractors in the week prior to<br />

Christmas.<br />

Akaroa Health Hub Fundraising<br />

Committee member<br />

Gretchen Foster said the committee<br />

was feeling “pretty good”<br />

about their progress.<br />

“We’ll be able to approach<br />

national bodies for grants once<br />

a contractor is in place,” Mrs<br />

Foster said.<br />

To enable the facility to<br />

include aged care, a $2.5 mil-<br />

NEW: An artist’s impression<br />

of Ignite Architects final<br />

design for the health hub. ​<br />

lion contribution to the building<br />

is needed from the community<br />

within four years of building<br />

commencing.<br />

Most of the funds raised to<br />

date have come from the Guardians<br />

of Akaroa Hospital, Akaroa<br />

and <strong>Bay</strong>s Lions Club, community<br />

events and individual and<br />

group donations.<br />

Committee chairman Paul<br />

de Latour said the community’s<br />

fundraising efforts were “remarkable.”<br />

In addition to the $2.5 million<br />

contribution to the building of<br />

the facility, a further $500,000<br />

will also need to be raised to<br />

establish operational services at<br />

the centre.<br />

The board is currently looking<br />

to appoint a general manager to<br />

manage the establishment and<br />

delivery of health services at the<br />

new centre.<br />

Old Stone<br />

House to<br />

reopen<br />

THE HISTORIC Old Stone House<br />

will reopen to the community<br />

today, following extensive<br />

earthquake repairs.<br />

The opening will be attended by<br />

Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Cashmere<br />

Ward councillor Tim Scandrett,<br />

Spreydon Ward councillor Phil<br />

Clearwater and Spreydon-Cashmere<br />

community board chairwoman<br />

Karolin Potter.<br />

Built by Sir John Cracroft Wilson<br />

in 1870 and nestled at the foot of<br />

the Port Hills, the heritage building<br />

is reopening after a $2 million<br />

restoration.<br />

Ms Dalziel will officially reopen<br />

the building at a ceremony attended<br />

by Caroline Murray, a<br />

great-great granddaughter of Sir<br />

John Cracroft Wilson.<br />

The building was rebuilt by the<br />

community in 1979 after fire damage.<br />

Repairs and strengthening<br />

work were expected to be completed<br />

by mid-2017.<br />

“Walls have been upgraded and<br />

strengthened, roofing improved,<br />

seismic separation joints formed,<br />

ceilings replaced, masonry repaired<br />

and repointed, heating updated and<br />

accessibility enhanced,” said city<br />

council heritage rebuild programme<br />

manager Richie Moyle.<br />

A LARGE infestation of pest<br />

plant purple loosestrife has been<br />

found in Prices Valley.<br />

So Environment Canterbury<br />

is calling for residents to report<br />

any sightings of the weed on<br />

Banks Peninsula.<br />

“The Prices Valley find is the<br />

first known large infestation<br />

on the peninsula,” said ECan<br />

regional leader biosecurity Graham<br />

Sullivan.<br />

“We know purple loosestrife<br />

(Lythrum salicaria) rapidly invades<br />

damp ground and shallow<br />

water. When left uncontrolled,<br />

its dense bushy growth forms<br />

massive, tall, impenetrable<br />

stands that will out compete our<br />

native species. Its ability to form<br />

monocultures changes a wetland<br />

and marginal habitats and<br />

food sources for many fish and<br />

bird species,” said Mr Sullivan.<br />

Left uncontrolled, purple<br />

loosestrife can form monocultures<br />

causing blockages and<br />

flooding.<br />

“We don’t want this for our<br />

region’s wetlands and watercourses,”<br />

Mr Sullivan said.<br />

Purple loosestrife produces<br />

millions of long-lived, highly viable<br />

seeds from an early age. It<br />

can tolerate hot or cold conditions,<br />

and low to high nutrient<br />

levels in the water.<br />

Its seed is spread by the movement<br />

of water, contaminated<br />

machinery and soil.<br />

Now is the optimum time to<br />

identify if you have purple loosestrife<br />

on your property.<br />

What to look out for:<br />

•A tall green perennial herb<br />

that grows anywhere between 1<br />

and 3m tall in summer.<br />

•It will have a taproot with<br />

many branched stems that feel<br />

square shaped when you rub<br />

them between your thumb and<br />

finger.<br />

•Look for narrow leaves that<br />

are in pairs and alternate up the<br />

stem.<br />

•During the summer months,<br />

it will have showy, densely hairy<br />

flower head spikes.<br />

•Later in the season you may<br />

see blackish seed capsules, about<br />

3mm long.<br />

•There are no similar species<br />

that grow this tall.<br />

What to do:<br />

•Take a photo of the suspected<br />

plant(s) and email it, along with<br />

the location of the sighting to<br />

Gemma Livingstone at gemma.<br />

livingstone@ecan.govt.nz<br />

•Alternatively, you can call<br />

0800 EC INFO and leave your<br />

name, contact number, and the<br />

location of the suspected sighting.<br />

The things we spend our rates on<br />

Following<br />

recent<br />

publicity<br />

around<br />

rubbish bin<br />

collection in<br />

the <strong>Bay</strong>s area,<br />

Port Hills MP<br />

Ruth Dyson<br />

takes a moment to reflect<br />

on how our rates are spent<br />

We are very fortunate, in<br />

my view, to have had for many<br />

years a city council that believes<br />

in ensuring that more than<br />

just potholes and rubbish are<br />

attended to as its job – although<br />

in recent times those in the<br />

beach suburbs know very well<br />

that it wasn’t doing the rubbish<br />

job quite as well as was needed.<br />

But the things I am talking<br />

about are the festivals, the events,<br />

the fun things that are so often<br />

sponsored by the city council<br />

(sometimes in partnership) that<br />

are then free or very reasonably<br />

priced for people to enjoy.<br />

I always enjoy the Ingham’s<br />

Lazy Sundays which is an<br />

example of that partnership –<br />

what is better than sitting in<br />

the Botanical Gardens on a fine<br />

Sunday afternoon listening to<br />

great music and surrounded by<br />

people who are doing the same –<br />

and it’s free.<br />

And likewise the buskers are<br />

just a delight and even though<br />

The final figures for the<br />

buskers hasn’t been publicised<br />

yet so it’s not known if this year<br />

was another loss or if it made<br />

POPULAR: The World<br />

Buskers Festival is one of the<br />

events supported by the city<br />

council.<br />

a profit. Certainly the better<br />

weather brought out the crowds<br />

compared to last year.<br />

As well as the actual<br />

shows that I went to, I really<br />

enjoyed sitting and watching<br />

the audience watching the<br />

performers.<br />

I went to one event in Albion<br />

Square in Lyttelton on a<br />

beautiful Saturday afternoon.<br />

It was packed with a very agediverse<br />

crowd. And people were<br />

laughing and clapping and<br />

talking with one another.<br />

I know that we pay our rates<br />

so that our city council provides<br />

services – water, sewerage, roads,<br />

footpaths, rubbish collections<br />

etcetera. But I am delighted that<br />

our city council also invests a<br />

small amount of our rates and<br />

gets a really big return – fun and<br />

happiness for our residents. I<br />

think we deserve it!<br />

Blitz on sea lavender<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

Yvette<br />

Couch-Lewis<br />

A NEW plan to restore the<br />

ecological and cultural<br />

health of Lyttelton<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> is being<br />

launched next month.<br />

The Whaka Ora<br />

Healthy <strong>Harbour</strong> plan<br />

arose after community<br />

consultation on the Lyttelton<br />

Port Recovery<br />

Plan showed a need for<br />

a co-ordinated approach<br />

to address water quality<br />

and environmental problems in<br />

the area.<br />

Soil erosion and sediment<br />

run-off, storm and wastewater<br />

discharge, and vessel and port operation<br />

contaminants were among<br />

a range of issues identified.<br />

Key organisations within the<br />

Lyttelton catchment – the city<br />

council, Environment Canterbury,<br />

Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, Te<br />

Hapu o Ngati Wheke and Lyttelton<br />

Port Company – have worked<br />

on the plan for more than a year.<br />

A governance group made up<br />

of a representative from each<br />

group will oversee annual project<br />

plans and budgets, consider<br />

future funding streams and set<br />

up a working group to deliver<br />

programmes.<br />

It will include LPC chief executive<br />

Peter Davie, TRONT representative<br />

Yvette Couch-Lewis<br />

(chairwoman), ECan councillor<br />

Elizabeth Cunningham,<br />

and Te Hapu o Ngati<br />

Wheke representative<br />

Cara Edwards.<br />

The organisations<br />

involved have spent<br />

$600,000 over a threeyear<br />

period ending in<br />

<strong>2018</strong> to develop the plan<br />

and for its initial implementation.<br />

Funding will come<br />

through the organisations’<br />

existing work programmes.<br />

However, according to the plan,<br />

“implementation . . . will require<br />

additional<br />

resourcing to implement the priority<br />

and short-term projects.”<br />

The plan will be reviewed<br />

three-yearly with the first review<br />

in 2021.<br />

Whaka Ora Healthy <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

management plan will be<br />

launched at Rapaki Marae on<br />

March 7.<br />

There will also be a community<br />

launch with beach clean ups and<br />

barbecues around Lyttelton, Governors<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> and Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

on March 9 from 4.30pm.<br />

to eradicate pest<br />

A BLITZ attack on sea lavender<br />

– a pest plant that strangles<br />

native species – has brought its<br />

eradication one step closer.<br />

City council ecologist Kristina<br />

Macdonald led 12 members<br />

of the city council’s parks team<br />

and a Forest and Bird volunteer<br />

on a search and destroy mission<br />

targeting sea lavender plants<br />

near the lower Heathcote River<br />

last week.<br />

The Heathcote River was the<br />

first site in New Zealand where<br />

the pest plant was found and<br />

the city council is looking at<br />

eradicating it within the next 10<br />

years.<br />

Sea lavender, which has deep<br />

tap roots, spreads to form a<br />

dense mat in saltmarsh areas. It<br />

crowds out existing native plant<br />

species preventing them from<br />

establishing.<br />

“There used to be thousands<br />

of plants here but now that we<br />

are down to lower numbers we<br />

think eradication might truly be<br />

possible,” Ms Macdonald says.<br />

About 650 plants were dug<br />

out during last week’s project in<br />

the lower Heathcote River area,<br />

the only site in Christchurch<br />

PEST PLANT: City council ecologist Kristina Macdonald helps<br />

dig out sea lavender plants near the lower Heathcote River.<br />

city where it has been found.<br />

The next closest affected site is<br />

in Akaroa which the Department<br />

of Conservation controls.<br />

“It’s been there for a while<br />

and both staff and volunteers<br />

have been controlling it for over<br />

10 years. We thought we’d get<br />

a group together and do a grid<br />

search and remove what we<br />

could find,” Ms Macdonald said<br />

“It was a very successful effort.”<br />

Residents living in the<br />

Lower Heathcote area should<br />

check their gardens for this<br />

“wee beastie” which will be in<br />

flower for the next couple of<br />

weeks, she said.<br />

“If they find any plants they<br />

should dig them out making<br />

sure they get the roots and put<br />

them into the city council red<br />

rubbish bins.”<br />

Forest and Bird own and look<br />

after the Calder Green reserve<br />

on the Lower Heathcote where<br />

sea lavender was first found in<br />

the 1980s.<br />

Summer surf ‘keeps on giving’<br />

Aaron's Surf Report<br />

SPORTS<br />

THE EPIC summer just keeps<br />

on giving at the moment.<br />

Consistent warm days, light<br />

winds and 20 deg C plus water<br />

temperatures have meant for<br />

perfect surf conditions.<br />

Swell-wise we’ve been alternating<br />

weeks with one flat week followed<br />

by one good week of swell<br />

so there have been plenty of fun<br />

waves around.<br />

This week the tropical wave<br />

machine kicks into gear with a<br />

big low dropping down from the<br />

Coral Sea.<br />

A huge, but short lived swell<br />

charged through on Thursday<br />

producing some great waves but<br />

the wind unfortunately was a bit<br />

too strong for epic conditions.<br />

We should see plenty of east<br />

and north-easterly swells from<br />

the tropics this month as this is<br />

traditionally our best season for<br />

surf.<br />

Point Surf team held the annual<br />

PST trophy over the weekend.<br />

The groms surfed perfect<br />

little two-foot waves on Saturday<br />

WILD RIDE: Sumner surfer Harrison Whiteside chases the New Zealand surf series in the Hawkes <strong>Bay</strong>. (Right) – Rodney<br />

Somogyvari battles at Taylors on Sunday to win the annual Point Surf Trophy open section. ​<br />

at Stoke St and the adults battled<br />

three-foot-plus conditions at<br />

Taylors on the Sunday. Rodney<br />

Somogyvari won the open with<br />

Aaron Stanley-Joblin second. In<br />

the cadets, Jordan Sparrow won<br />

the boys and Sienna O’Shaunesy<br />

won the girls. Jack Tyro won the<br />

younger boys age group.<br />

There’s been a lot happening<br />

on the contest scene with local<br />

surfers achieving some great<br />

results around the country.<br />

The highlights include Harrison<br />

Whiteside chasing the New<br />

Zealand surf series all last year,<br />

finishing the 2017 national series<br />

with a second on the under-20<br />

circuit and a third in the open<br />

men’s.<br />

Harrison has been the South<br />

Island’s quiet achiever recently<br />

and is consistently one of New<br />

Zealand’s top surfers competing<br />

against New Zealand’s best.<br />

Hugh Ritchie from Exit Surf<br />

travelled all the way to Hainan<br />

Island in China for the ISA world<br />

longboarding champs as part of<br />

a four person New Zealand team.<br />

Hugh was disappointed in his<br />

results with small inconsistent<br />

surf making things difficult. He<br />

placed 31st which is still pretty<br />

good on a world stage.<br />

Donna and Ava Henderson<br />

had great results at the Health<br />

2000 national champs in Gisborne,<br />

both winning national titles<br />

in the over 40 and under-14.<br />

Lucy Te Moananui was also<br />

there, winning the over 30s title<br />

and placing third in the SUP but<br />

just missing out on second and<br />

the New Zealand SUP team by<br />

half a point. Estella Hungerford<br />

was second in the longboard and<br />

fourth in the under-16s.<br />

Jordan Sparrow has been<br />

chasing the South Island groms<br />

series and posted his first win in<br />

great waves at Westport. Jordan<br />

smashed two good waves to win<br />

the under-18 boys final against a<br />

tough field. Ava Henderson won<br />

both the under-14 and under-16<br />

girls in Westport and under-14s<br />

in Dunedin. Jack Tyro won the<br />

under-12 boys in Westport.<br />

Holly Campbell, Poppy Entwisle,<br />

Olive Entwisle, Amelie Wink<br />

and Ruby Armstrong have all<br />

been getting great results too.<br />

Events coming up include the<br />

Malfunction Longboard event<br />

at New Brighton on <strong>February</strong><br />

17-18 and the Cape Classic in<br />

Westport, 24-25 <strong>February</strong>.<br />

The Saboteur: The Aristocrat<br />

Who Became France’s Most<br />

Daring Anti-Nazi Commando<br />

by Paul Kix<br />

In the tradition of ‘Agent Zigzag’ comes a breathtaking<br />

biography of WWII’s ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ as fast-paced<br />

and emotionally intuitive as the best spy thrillers. This<br />

celebrates unsung hero Robert de La Rochefoucauld, an aristocrat turned<br />

anti-Nazi saboteur, and his exploits as a British Special Operations Executivetrained<br />

resistant. A scion of one of the oldest families in France, Robert de<br />

La Rochefoucauld was raised in a magnificent chateau and educated in<br />

Europe’s finest schools. When the Nazis invaded and imprisoned his father,<br />

La Rochefoucauld escaped to England and was trained in the dark arts<br />

of anarchy and combat – cracking safes, planting bombs and killing with<br />

his bare hands – by a collection of SOE spies. With his newfound skills,<br />

La Rochefoucauld returned to France and organized Resistance cells, blew<br />

up fortified compounds and munitions factories, interfered with Germany’s<br />

wartime missions and executed Nazi officers. Caught by the Germans, La<br />

Rochefoucauld withstood months of torture and escaped his own death<br />

sentence, not once but twice.<br />

The 1,000-Year-Old Boy<br />

by Ross Welford<br />

The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from<br />

the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A<br />

HAMSTER.<br />

‘A wonderful story’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave There are stories about people<br />

who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. This is a story<br />

about someone who wants to stop… Alfie Monk is like any other nearly<br />

teenage boy – except he’s 1,000 years old and can remember the last<br />

Viking invasion of England.<br />

Obviously no one believes him. So when everything Alfie knows and loves<br />

is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie<br />

embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to<br />

live… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

Love the location, build the dream - “As-Is, Where-Is”<br />

37 Horotane Valley Rd, Heathcote<br />

Auction: 22 <strong>February</strong> <strong>2018</strong>, unless sold prior<br />

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | Listing ID: FM5361<br />

A myriad of possibilities fill the mind<br />

with what could be achieved at this 4 acre<br />

Horotane Valley property which is being<br />

sold on an ‘as is, where is’ basis.<br />

With the Port Hills as its backdrop and<br />

views that stretch across to the city, this<br />

property is perfectly positioned to enjoy<br />

the vistas and micro-climate that this area<br />

is so renowned for. The surrounds offer a<br />

genuine sense of seclusion and tranquility<br />

despite it being just a five-minute drive<br />

from central Ferrymead and approx. 15<br />

minutes from the central city.<br />

The generous four-bedroom, threebathroom<br />

family character home has a<br />

verandah and a great outlook with lovely<br />

space surrounding the home. However, the<br />

spacious interior has visibly felt the effects<br />

of the city’s seismic activity and is now a<br />

little worse for wear, which provides the<br />

new buyer with a superb opportunity to<br />

either breathe new life into the home, or<br />

perhaps start from scratch.<br />

One particularly noteworthy feature<br />

of this property is the converted double<br />

garage which now hosts a single studio<br />

with a bathroom, and it is a space that<br />

could easily be used as accommodation<br />

once any repairs have commenced on the<br />

home itself.<br />

The sprawling four acres of semi-rural<br />

land has great biodiversity and is non-sub<br />

dividable with established gardens, fruit<br />

trees, the sweet sound of birdsong and very<br />

usable flat lawn.<br />

It hosts numerous outbuildings which<br />

include a tunnel house, shade house, sleep<br />

out, horse stables, double garage with<br />

separate workshop, two storage units, a<br />

railway carriage and three sheds.<br />

Buyers who have dreamt of creating a<br />

life in a convenient countryside setting<br />

will gravitate towards this property which<br />

presents the promise of a project and<br />

exciting potential.<br />

Having made countless memories at this<br />

property for the past 25 years, the time<br />

has arrived to downsize, and the vendors<br />

are determined to achieve a result. Early<br />

inspection is recommended.<br />

Auction date Thursday 22 Feb 12:00 p.m.<br />

(Grenadier House, 98 Moorhouse Ave)<br />

Unless Sold Prior<br />

Open Home Dates: Wednesday and<br />

Saturday 3.00pm – 4.00pm until auction<br />

day. See you at one of the Open Days, or for<br />

a private viewing or for more information<br />
