Follow Queenstown: 

Ban freedom campers 

Yacht club 

chief wants 

same for 

Akaroa 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A PUSH to prohibit freedom 

camping within Akaroa 

township is gaining momentum 

after Queenstown announced a 

ban at two hot spots. 

Akaroa Yacht Club 

commodore 

Howard Wilson 

wants the 

city council 

to follow 

Queenstown’s 

lead after Mayor 

Howard 

Wilson 

Jim Boult 

last month 

announced a 

ban at popular 

Lake Hayes and the Shotover 

Delta. Dr Wilson said he is 

keen to see the same happen in 

Akaroa. 

He will make a deputation to 

the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board later this month – and had 

originally planned to speak about 

the need for better enforcement. 

But following Queenstown’s 

move, he will now be seeking a 

complete ban. 

It comes after photographs 

were sent to the city council 

documenting faeces and toilet 

paper at the entry to a local park 

and campers spotted washing 

dishes and clothing at a public 

fountain in the Akaroa recreation 

area. 

“I’ve never been aware of it 

being so bad – not just in Akaroa 

but everywhere,” Dr Wilson said. 

“When people are flagrantly 

abusing the area, it affects 

tourism and health. It does have 

health and safety issues. I think 

they need to look seriously at 

banning it.” 

Freedom campers are already 

prohibited at French Farm, 

Wainui and Children’s Bay, but 

fully self-contained camper vans 

can park at the Akaroa Sports 

Complex, the Akaroa Yacht Club 

and the Akaroa Lighthouse for a 

maximum of two days. 

Dr Wilson has support from 

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner, 

who said he would like to see the 

prohibition extended to the yacht 

club and lighthouse sites.

from the editor’s desk 

YACHT CLUB commodores aren’t people to 

be trifled with. 

So when one fires a broadside it pays to 

take notice (see page 1). 

Akaroa Yacht Club commodore Howard 

Wilson wants freedom campers banned 

from the village. I suspect he has many supporters. 

It’s similar to what Queenstown has implemented; banning 

freedom campers from some areas in the tourist haven. 

Wilson has had enough of what freedom campers leave behind. 

He will make a deputation to the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board later this month. He had originally planned to speak about 

the need for better enforcement. On the basis of that we’ve canvassed 

the board members for their views. 

Some have answered; others haven’t responded. 

Very weak.

Rubbish bin clearing 


RUBBISH BINS will be emptied 

twice a day in the Sumner 

area after the city council was 

criticised for failing to keep up 

with clearing rubbish bins. 

The bins were previously 

scheduled for one collection per 

day, Sunday-Friday, and two on 

Saturday. 

However, scorching 

temperatures drawing people 

to the beach put pressure on 

the bins – leading residents to 

speak out. 

Now an evening collection 

has been added to the daily 

schedule, which includes 

Taylors Mistake. 

City council acting head of 

parks Brent Smith said there 

had been an increase in rubbish 

volumes. Its contractor had 

collected 20 per cent more 

rubbish when compared to the 

same period last year. 

As well as the extra 

collections, the city council was 

investigating other changes. 

“We’re looking at the number 

and style of bins we provide 

and we are also looking at 

improved signage to inform 

and encourage appropriate 

behaviour,’’ Mr Smith said. 

He said the city council has 

had a high number of illegal 

rubbish dumping reported. 

“We have had 72 requests 

for service come in over the 

past two months that relate to 

rubbish being dumped illegally, 


increased after controversy 

ON THE DOMAIN LINCOLN 3 MARCH 2018 

TIDY: The city council has acted on residents’ complaints and increased the amount of times 

they empty rubbish bin to twice daily. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

which is an unacceptably high 

number,” he said. 

“We do our best to keep 

our beaches, parks and public 

spaces tidy by making sure we 

regularly empty the rubbish 

bins, but we need the public 

to play their part too and take 

some civic responsibility,’’ Mr 

Smith said. 

•A public meeting will be 

held at the Sumner Centre: 

Matuku Takotako at 7pm 

tomorrow to discuss ideas on 

how to make Sumner tidier.

ALLANDALE RESERVE RENT 

Fulton Hogan will lease part of the 

Allandale Reserve for an annual 

rent of $14,500 after getting city 

council approval on Thursday. The 

money will go to the Allandale 

Reserve Management Committee to 

be spent on the reserve. 

SKATE PARK OPENING SOON 

The upgraded Lyttelton skate park is 

on track for a February 26 opening. 

The $375,000 site upgrade has been 

funded primarily by the city council 

– with some financial support from 

South Port in Bluff. Work began 

in November and when complete, 

the park will feature a new bowl, a 

quarter pipe, ramps, rails and edges, 

and a fresh “side-to-side flow.” 

HIGH FIRE RISK 

The fire risk remains high after 

Christchurch sweltered through 

the hottest January on record. 

NIWA’s monthly climate summary 

showed the city recorded a mean 

temperature 2.7 deg C more than 

the normal. Dry conditions and 

a further month of summer heat 

are keeping fire authorities on 

high alert. A wildfire broke out 

on Thursday on the hills above 

Cass Bay but ground crews and 

helicopters prevented any significant 

damage to property.

Take a trip down memory lane 


TAKE A trip down memory lane 

this weekend at the fifth annual 

Nostalgia Festival. 

The event, held at Ferrymead 

Heritage Park on Saturday, was 

recently named as one of the 

fastest growing and most-loved 

festivals in the country by Air 

New Zealand, organiser Johnny 

Gibson said. 

He’s curated an eclectic range 

of acts for all ages and flavours 

this year, from cult Dunedin 

pop-rock group The Chills to Los 

Angeles-based musical prodigy 

Connan Mockasin. 

It retains a local edge with 

award-winning singer-songwriter 

and Heathcote resident, 

Amiria Grenell, appearing with 

Amy Grace on the main stage as 

The Swan Sisters. 

Grenell’s latest, Autumn, was 

a finalist for best folk album at 

the 2016 New Zealand Music 

Awards. 

She has toured Australasia 

with Fly My Pretties and is in 

demand for festivals and events, 

both as a solo performer and a 

children’s entertainer. 

Also on the main stage, Lyttelton-based 

musician Richard 

Larsen appears with Glass Vaults 

– a popular Wellington group 

SYNTH-POP: Lyttelton-based Richard Larsen will appear with 

The Glass Vaults 

producing bright, psychedelic 

pop tunes. About 600 people 

attended the inaugural Nostalgia 

Festival in 2014 – this year, more 

than four thousand are expected. 

Mr Gibson said they were a 

“community-minded” festival. 

“We grow organically – we 

don’t have a huge marketing 

budget and blast it across the 

city. An underground festival is 

probably the best way to describe 

it; it’s unique to the city and 

unique to Ferrymead Heritage 

Park.” 

A second stage has been 

added this year showcasing local 

emerging artists and old school 

vinyl-spinning DJ’s like Pylonz 

and Instant Fantasy and the 

uber-experienced Simon Kong. 

Don’t expect hot dogs and candyfloss 

vans; vendors are “real 

food enthusiasts” like Sumner’s 

Utopia Ice, Gatherings Restaurant 

and Lyttelton food delivery 

business, Green Dinner Table, 

said Mr Gibson. 

ALL AGES: Everyone is welcome at Nostalgia Festival. 

“We’ve been accredited as a 

conscious consumer festival 

three years ago so we have been 

working with the city council 

on a zero waste system as well; 

we’ll have reusable cups. We try 

to have as little an impact on the 

venue as possible.” 

As well as music, food and 

drink, there are street performers, 

hourly theatre shows, steam 

train rides and all of the regular 

attractions within the park. 

The festival is popular with 

families and children and to 

support those with little ones 

Plunket Canterbury are providing 

a feeding and nappy change 

station as well. 

Nostalgia Festival at 

Ferrymead Heritage Park 

runs from 12.30pm till 8pm 

on Saturday. For tickets, go

Summit Rd night ban unlikely 


Andrew 

Turner 

NIGHT-TIME restrictions on 

Summit Rd are looking unlikely. 

Following negative public 

feedback, city council staff will 

not be recommending that 

proposed night-time access 

restrictions to Summit Rd and 

Worsleys Rd go ahead. 

However, a final recommendation 

to the city council will 

only be made by 

the hearings panel 

after community 

deputations are 

heard on February 

15. 

The time restrictions 

would 

prohibit vehicles 

under 3500kg 

from 10pm to 5am, 

Thursday to Monday, and on 

public holidays and were an attempt 

to address concerns about 

anti-social road use, safety, 

vandalism, fire and littering. 

Public consultation resulted in 

865 submissions – 545 did not 

support the proposal, 221 were 

in support, and 99 were in support 

but had some concerns. 

These included restricting 

landscape and astronomy 

photographers; penalising 

sightseekers; that it could drive 

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

be affected by proposed vehicle restrictions. 

the problem elsewhere; and 

that it would not be adequately 

enforced by police. 

Favourable comments related 

to making the road safer for 

cyclists and that Summit Rd was 

a safer place for boy racers to be 

than in the city where it is more 

heavily populated. 

A hearings panel will meet 

to hear submitters on February 

15, then make a final recommendation 

to the city council on 

whether to adopt the proposal. 

Banks Peninsula city councillor 

Andrew Turner is on the 

panel and said for him, it would 

be a question of looking at what 

the effects of a ban would be, 

namely “whether we’ve got a 

problem that would be displaced 

into other areas.” 

There was no point in putting 

rules in place if they weren’t going 

to be enforced, he said. 

“We can put whatever rules 

in place we want, but if they’re 

not going to have any practical 

effect because of lack of an 

enforcement regime . . . that’s 

something we need to be aware 

of.” 

Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen 

told Bay Harbour News last 

August there won’t be any extra 

police to enforce the proposed 

night-time restrictions. 

City council manager transport 

operations Aaron Haymes 

said city council staff would 

continue to work with police. 

He said speed humps and 

gates had been investigated “but 

are not considered appropriate 

for this particular situation.”

Concern over 

changes to bus 

stop locations 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

NEARLY HALF of submitters are 

against plans to change pedestrian 

crossing and bus stop locations on 

Oxford St, Lyttleton. 

The city council wants to make 

the temporary pedestrian crossing 

point at the intersection of Oxford 

and Winchester Sts permanent and 

replace the two existing bus stops 

on Winchester and Oxford Sts, 

which are positioned close together, 

with a single bus stop outside Lyttelton 

School on Oxford St. 

New three-minute and two-hour 

parking restrictions are also proposed 

outside Lyttelton Primary 

School to assist the pick-up/drop-off 

for parents and daytime visitors to 

the school and surrounding area. 

The proposals would mean some 

on-street parking being removed. 

There were 22 submissions with 

six respondents in general support, 

seven supporting the plan but with 

some concerns, and nine respondents 

not in support. 

Concerns centered on the loss 

of the Winchester St bus stop – 

which services nearby pensioner 

flats – and reduced car parking for 

residents and visitors. 

A report will be presented to the 

Banks Peninsula Community Board 

at their meeting on February 12.

Call for freedom campers ban 

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

freedom campers. 

PHOTO: DANIEL GERHARD 

•From page 1 

“Akaroa town centre and the 

residential area around it are not 

appropriate places for freedom 

camping. A small number of 

spaces should be set aside by 

the boat park . . . there is also a 

camping ground in Akaroa and 

there are other camping opportunities 

on Banks Peninsula,” said 

Mr Turner. 

He said when the city council 

passed the Freedom Camping 

Bylaw in 2015, only sites which 

had experienced problems could 

have restrictions imposed. 

“At the time we put the bylaw 

together, you were only allowed 

to create a bylaw that addressed 

problems under the Freedom 

Camping Act and we didn’t have 

problems in the residential area 

of wider Akaroa at that time. We 

did have problems in Akaroa 

town centre. I think on a review 

of the bylaw it would be easy now 

for us to take a more restrictive 

view . . . while allowing some 

freedom camping at the entrance 

by the boat park.” 

Any changes to the bylaw 

would have to be done as part of 

a review, which isn’t set down for 

another five years. 

However, Cr Turner encouraged 

residents to engage with the 

city council and the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board, which 

could request a review. 

“It may be that we (the city 

council) could make some small 

changes, responding to that sort 

of a request.” 

When Bay Harbour News asked 

whether a ban would be looked 

at, city council acting head of 

regulatory compliance Claire Le 

Grice said there were “no plans to 

consider banning freedom camping 

in Akaroa at this time.” 

She said the city council would 

maintain a “watching brief” on 

activities over the summer period. 

Meanwhile, Akaroa Police 

Senior Constable Anita Osborne 

is encouraging members of the 

public to report any sightings 

of people relieving themselves 

in a public place. In a Facebook 

post on the issue, she said even 

if police were not in the area, the 

job would be recorded and staff 

dispatched. 

“Take down vehicle registration 

details, and if possible get 

photos of the person(s). Then if 

they do leave the area we can still 

follow up so that they don’t keep 

doing it wherever they go,” Ms 

Osborne said. 

Although she had been told informally 

about people using the 

cemetery, parks and lighthouse 

area in Akaroa as a toilet, she said 

no one had phoned the police at 

the time it was happening. 

If more people made complaints 

either to police or to the 

city council, there would be more 

accurate statistics to “back up all 

the talk,” she said. 

Felix Dawson, Mt Herbert 

– “Unless the continued increase 

of freedom campers is likely to 

stop, then banning them around 

the township will probably be 

required.

FINAL WEEK!

The problems experienced 

near the yacht

lighthouse 

cannot be 

allowed to 

continue. 

Whether 

a designated 

Felix Dawson 

freedom 

camping 

site 

near the village should be 

provided in preference to 

the local campground may 

need re-consideration. This 

problem should also be 

viewed within the national 

context 

and the 

question 

for all New 

Zealanders 

– how 

many 

tourists 

Pam 

Richardson 

is too 

many?” 

Pam 

Richardson, Akaroa – 

“In any of those areas in 

the town, campers need to 

have proper toilet facilities 

in them. I would 

suggest we do need 

to prohibit in those 

areas that are just 

being degraded 

at the moment. 

Enforcement is 

an issue and if we 

can’t enforce it, 

we need to have 

tighter rules. 

They need to be 

in the camping 

grounds if they 

want to come to 

our lovely spot. 

The Pigeon Bay 

camping ground, 

the Duvauchelle 

camping ground, 

Okains Bay. 

They’ve got 

them, they need 

to be using them. 

They need to be 

respecting us as a 

community. 

I don’t like seeing 

a camping ground 

down by the foreshore, 

in our public 

beach area, in our 

public places – it’s 

not the place to get out 

your picnic table . . . they 

John McLister

Seafarer funding meeting 


A MEETING will be held with 

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch 

to discuss funding for the 

seafarers centre – including a 

possible levy on visiting ships. 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel has 

asked Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner and city council staff to 

meet with LPC and report back 

within two months. 

The issue of how the centre is 

funded was raised as part of a 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board report to the city council 

last Thursday. 

The chairman 

of the 

Lyttelton 

Seafarers’ 

Centre charitable 

trust 

John McLister, 

wants to see a 

John McLister 

port levy on 

visiting ships 

to fund longer 

opening hours and a full-time 

welfare officer. 

He said the city council has a 

moral obligation to provide for 

seafarer welfare under the Maritime 

Labour Convention. 

Currently, LPC contributes 

$5000 yearly towards running 

costs at the centre, which provides 

currency exchange, Wi-Fi, 

phone and welfare services from 

TEMPORARY: The Lyttelton Seafarers’ Centre needs more 

money to be able to expand its services. 

7-10pm Monday-Friday but 

Mr McLister said that was not 

enough. 

It should be open 50 hours a 

week to meet demand, he said. 

He also wants to see a full-time 

welfare officer employed who 

can go onboard ships. 

Ms Dalziel said the city council 

could not direct LPC to impose 

a levy – however, meeting 

with them in the first instance 

to talk about the issue would be 

a good first step. 

“A conversation with LPC 

may resolve the situation.” 

She said if central government 

directed every port in the country 

to levy for on-shore welfare 

services, “costs would fall where 

they lie – with the employers of 

the seafarers.” 

Central Ward city councillor 

Deon Swiggs said the city had 

an airport with excellent facilities 

for airline staff to use after 

long flights. 

“We don’t have those same 

level of facilities for people that 

have been a ship for six months 

potentially.” 

The city council also passed a 

resolution supporting the provision 

of access to shore-based 

welfare facilities as set out in the 

MLC. 

Mr McLister said the city council 

had shown “wonderful support” 

for the work of the centre. 

“The good thing is that now 

all the parties involved in the 

welfare of the seafarers can begin 

a constructive conversation 

about how we . . . ensure the best 

welcome is possible for seafarers 

coming to Lyttelton, rather than 

just leaving that to the welfare 

organisation.”

New Moncks Bay slipway 

needs to be repaired 


AN EXPERIMENTAL new 

slipway at the Moncks Bay boat 

ramp site hasn’t worked and will 

need to be fixed. 

It was put in by the city council 

prior to Christmas but on Friday 

city council manager capital delivery 

community Darren Moses 

confirmed it wasn’t installed 

correctly, 

Prior to installation, decaying 

concrete was removed from the 

original ramp - shortening its 

length. 

And the hinged extension sits 

much higher than the original 

ramp beneath, making the dropoff 

difficult to launch from. 

Christchurch Yacht Club commodore 

Richard Ineson said it 

was “a bit of a shambles” at the 

moment as sailors and jet skiers 

were avoiding the slipway and 

launching off the beach instead. 

This was creating concern 

amongst beachgoers. 

Mr Ineson and club president 

Lyndsey Ebert met with engineer 

Paul Ferguson and city council 

parks project manager Steven 

Gray last week to talk about the 

club’s concerns. 

The club has its own slipway,

“friendlier” for yachts and other 

boats. 

Mr Moses said discussions 

were “ongoing with the yacht

solution, which, in turn, will 

determine timing of remedial 

works and costs.”

Still Me By Jojo Moyes 

The third Lou Clark novel by Jojo Moyes, following the Number 

One international bestsellers Me Before You and After You Lou Clark 

arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she 

can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with 

Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She is hurled 

into the world of the super-rich Gopniks: Leonard and his much 

younger second wife, Agnes, and a never-ending array of household 

staff and hangers-on. Lou is determined to get the most out of the 

experience and throws herself into her job and New York life within 

this privileged world. Before she knows what’s happening, Lou is 

mixing in New York high society, where she meets Joshua Ryan, a 

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

tries to keep the two sides of her world together, she finds herself 

carrying secrets - not all her own - that cause a catastrophic change 

in her circumstances. And when matters come to a head, she has to 

ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart 

that lives in two places? 

Fire and Fury By Michael Wolff 

With extraordinary access to the Trump White House, Michael Wolff tells the 

inside story of the most controversial presidency of our time. The first nine 

months of Donald Trump’s term were stormy, outrageous, and absolutely 

mesmerising. Now, thanks to his deep access to the West Wing, bestselling 

author Michael Wolff tells the fascinating story of how Trump launched a 

tenure as volatile and fiery as the man himself. In this explosive book, Wolff 

provides a wealth of new details about the chaos in the Oval Office. Among 

the revelations: - What President Trump’s staff really thinks of him - What 

inspired Trump to claim he was wire-tapped by President Obama - Why FBI 

director James Comey was really fired - Why chief strategist Steve Bannon 

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

Who is really directing the Trump administration’s strategy in the wake of 

Bannon’s firing - What the secret to communicating with Trump is - What the 

Trump administration has in common with the movie The Producers. Never 

before has a presidency so divided the American people. Brilliantly reported 

and astoundingly fresh, Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury shows us how and 

why Donald Trump has become the king of discord and disunion. 

Breaking Free By rachel Jeffs 

In this searing memoir of survival in the spirit of Stolen Innocence, the 

daughter of the self-proclaimed Prophet of the FLDS Church takes you 

deep inside the secretive, polygamist and fundamentalist Mormon cult 

run by her family and recounts her escape. Born into the Fundamentalist 

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Rachel Jeffs was raised in a 

strict patriarchal culture defined by subordinate sister wives and men they 

must obey. No one in this radical splinter sect of the Mormon Church was 

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

2006 the FBI placed him on its Ten Most Wanted List. Rachel describes her 

harrowing life with Warren Jeffs, and the years of physical and emotional 

abuse she suffered. Sexually assaulted, compelled into an arranged 

polygamous marriage, locked away in ‘houses of hiding’, as punishment 

for perceived transgressions, and physically separated from her children, 

Rachel eventually found the courage to leave the church in 2015. A 

shocking and mesmerising memoir of faith, abuse, courage and freedom, 

this is an expose of religious extremism and a beacon of hope for anyone 

overcoming obstacles or trauma in their own lives.

Life of a Bank Peninsula police officer 


•From page 11 

I went to the early stages of the 

recruitment process thinking 

it probably wouldn’t be for me. 

because I was quite a private, shy 

sort of person. But I thoroughly 

enjoyed it. When I got sent out 

on experience in patrol cars – I 

loved it. I was lucky enough that 

that year they were recruiting for 

Christchurch and they weren’t 

for Rotorua so we as a family all 

moved down to Christchurch. 

Where did you train? 

I went to the Royal New Zealand 

Police College in Wellington 

for six months while my family 

stayed in Rotorua, and once I 

finished my training, we all 

moved south. Before that, I had a 

community work job and I was a 

psychiatric nurse prior to that. 

Could you tell me a bit about 

your family? 

My children are now all in 

their 20s. I’ve got a 29-year-old 

daughter and 26-year-old twin 

boys. One of the boys was interested 

in police work but he’s off 

doing other things at the moment 

so I’m not sure if he’ll come back 

to it. My boys are in Christchurch 

and my daughter is an artist and 

she lives over here as well. She 

does all sorts: Painting, pen, ink. 

It’s good to have them all living 

close by. 

LIFE-CHANGING: Senior Constable Anita Osborne during her 

deployment in the Solomon Islands in 2011. 

Do you do shift work? 

We have rostered day and 

evening shifts, but then we’re 

on call for two-thirds of the 

time. So this week, I’m in an 

eight-day roster and five nights 

of that are on call which is a real 

long haul. But I have a shared 

property with my family – my 

parents and my daughter – so 

they pick up the slack for me. 

They’re great. I’ve got dogs and 

I don’t have to worry about all 

that, they take care of things 

when I’m called out for extended 

hours. I’ve got border collies 

and my son’s chocolate labrador 

at the moment. He’s in a house 

in Christchurch which doesn’t 

allow dogs. I got my collie about 

10 years ago and then the other 

son got a border collie that was 

an ex-farm dog, so I’ve ended up 

with his one as well. I’m like the 

home for adopted dogs from the 

children – I hear that’s common. 

What’s the toughest part of 

your job? 

Dealing with confrontation 

and angry people. And going 

from a difficult, stressful job 

where someone died and then 

having to deal with another job 

where the person who’s rocked 

up to the station door has no idea 

what you’ve just been dealing 

with and what they’ve come to 

complain about is a big deal for 

them. So you’re trying to still 

meet their needs even if it seems 

like a trivial matter compared 

to what you’ve just been dealing 

with. That’s the really, really hard 

stuff – you’re on the phone or in 

person with someone who’s just 

had this life-changing thing happen 

and someone else comes in 

to complain that their neighbour 

has cut a branch off their tree. 

What do you get up to in your 

down-time? 

Tramping, kayaking, paddleboarding, 

biking. I do a trip to 

Australia each year with Cycle 

Queensland, which is a 10-day 

cycle trip. It’s about 600km of 

biking and all the logistics are 

done – your stuff gets taken by 

truck each day, you just get on 

your bike and go. I’ve done it 

about six times; it’s a really good 

trip. You book in, you pay for it, 

you book your flight, you turn up 

and you bike, and at the end of 

the day there’s a tent with meals 

and sometimes a band playing. 

You’ve been a police officer for 

nearly 21 years. How has the job 

changed you? 

Majorly. Like I said, I was a 

pretty introverted person before. 

I’ve had to really work on my 

confidence and the job helps you 

get a wide experience. I was in 

the negotiators squad for a while, 

I was a detective for 12 years 

and I did a deployment to the 

Solomon Islands for six months. 

Every time I’ve tackled a new 

challenge I can see that I changed 

a lot. The Solomon Islands 

particularly was massive – going 

away from your family, being in 

such a different country. I think 

it was the second day I was there 

they had a riot and there were 

rocks flying everywhere. It was 

very different to New Zealand. 

It taught me that when you have 

limited resources people-wise, 

you have to be creative in how to 

resolve things. I’ve got no plans 

to change – I’m really enjoying 

community policing.

Christchurch Yacht Club in

Cathryn Lucy – This is 

absolutely disgusting. If you 

scum want to put in even half the 

effort members of the club do to 

maintain the yacht club facilities, 

ensure we have safe and fun 

racing, and provide an amazing 

community for yachties, you’d 

be run off your feet. 

The public are lucky enough to 

be able to use the location without 

paying a membership fee. 

How dare you be obnoxious to 

club members, compromise the 

safety of sailors, and get in the 

way of the operation of the club. 

Well handled, Richard and Jo. I 

always have the utmost respect 

for you guys, and I wish others 

would too. I have never heard of 

this ever being an issue before. 

This is so disappointing. 

Roxanne Oliver - I saw how 

many the other weekend it was 

so very busy. I didn’t believe my 

eyes so this does not surprise me. 

Jet skis there as well. 

Philip Nelson – Very poor 

behaviour, but it does go to show 

there is a need for more councilowned 

pontoons and jetties that 

the public can access. 

Janice Belgrave – I don’t 

think obnoxious behaviour is on, 

but do agree that it has exposed 

a need for an alternative to 

swimming at the beach. 

The beach itself is never 

without danger either, and 

whenever people are around 

water anywhere, there is a 

possible potential for incidents. 

In years gone by, this body of 

water has not been that inviting 

for swimming, due to pollution, 

but now that that issue seems to 

have been somewhat resolved, 

perhaps there could be a section 

marked off with buoys or 

wavebreaker ropes such as pool 

lane markers, to allow for the 

harmonious use by swimmers 

and sailors alike? 

John Goodrich – I was 

alarmed to see the ‘Abusive teens 

out of control’ headline in the 

Bay Harbour News (January 31). 

While I have some sympathy 


for Richard Ineson’s, issues, his 

experience is totally different 

from ours. My wife and I, 65 and 

65-plus respectively, have swum 

there several times recently and 

have been met with nothing but 

courtesy, smiles and groups of 

young people simply enjoying 

themselves. 

Our generation bemoans the 

fact that children and young 

people are no longer doing all the 

physical and outdoor things that 

we did at their age, and are more 

interested in social media, smartphones 

and video games. 

Here we have groups of them 

doing exactly what we would 

have done, and we seem to only 

be able to criticise. This is not the 

only occasion I’ve come across 

this. I recently witnessed a couple 

on the bus getting very annoyed 

with a small group of young 

people for doing nothing more 

that being noisy on their way to 

spending time on the beach. 

In the eyes of many it seems 

that the younger generation can’t 

win and I find that very sad.

Fundraiser for health 

hub reaches $1m 


ONE MILLION dollars has 

been raised by the community 

towards Akaroa’s news health 

hub and a decision on a 

contractor is expected soon. 

The facility will house 12 beds 

for inpatient and aged care, a 

general practice and other community 

services. 

The $4.5 million facility, a 

partnership between the Canterbury 

District Health Board and 

the community, will be built on 

the former Akaroa Hospital site. 

The community has been 

without a hospital since it was 

demolished following the September 

4, 2010, earthquake. 

Canterbury District Health 

Board received submissions 

from prospective building 

contractors in the week prior to 

Christmas. 

Akaroa Health Hub Fundraising 

Committee member 

Gretchen Foster said the committee 

was feeling “pretty good” 

about their progress. 

“We’ll be able to approach 

national bodies for grants once 

a contractor is in place,” Mrs 

Foster said. 

To enable the facility to 

include aged care, a $2.5 mil-

lion contribution to the building 

is needed from the community 

within four years of building 

commencing. 

Most of the funds raised to 

date have come from the Guardians 

of Akaroa Hospital, Akaroa 

and Bays Lions Club, community 

events and individual and 

group donations. 

Committee chairman Paul 

de Latour said the community’s 

fundraising efforts were “remarkable.” 

In addition to the $2.5 million 

contribution to the building of 

the facility, a further $500,000 

will also need to be raised to 

establish operational services at 

the centre. 

The board is currently looking 

to appoint a general manager to 

manage the establishment and 

delivery of health services at the 

new centre.

Old Stone 

House to 

reopen 

THE HISTORIC Old Stone House 

will reopen to the community 

today, following extensive 

earthquake repairs. 

The opening will be attended by 

Mayor Lianne Dalziel, Cashmere 

Ward councillor Tim Scandrett, 

Spreydon Ward councillor Phil 

Clearwater and Spreydon-Cashmere 

community board chairwoman 

Karolin Potter. 

Built by Sir John Cracroft Wilson 

in 1870 and nestled at the foot of 

the Port Hills, the heritage building 

is reopening after a $2 million 

restoration. 

Ms Dalziel will officially reopen 

the building at a ceremony attended 

by Caroline Murray, a 

great-great granddaughter of Sir 

John Cracroft Wilson. 

The building was rebuilt by the 

community in 1979 after fire damage. 

Repairs and strengthening 

work were expected to be completed 

by mid-2017. 

“Walls have been upgraded and 

strengthened, roofing improved, 

seismic separation joints formed, 

ceilings replaced, masonry repaired 

and repointed, heating updated and 

accessibility enhanced,” said city 

council heritage rebuild programme 

manager Richie Moyle. 

A LARGE infestation of pest 

plant purple loosestrife has been 

found in Prices Valley. 

So Environment Canterbury 

is calling for residents to report 

any sightings of the weed on 

Banks Peninsula. 

“The Prices Valley find is the 

first known large infestation 

on the peninsula,” said ECan 

regional leader biosecurity Graham 

Sullivan. 

“We know purple loosestrife 

(Lythrum salicaria) rapidly invades 

damp ground and shallow 

water. When left uncontrolled, 

its dense bushy growth forms 

massive, tall, impenetrable 

stands that will out compete our 

native species. Its ability to form 

monocultures changes a wetland 

and marginal habitats and 

food sources for many fish and 

bird species,” said Mr Sullivan. 

Left uncontrolled, purple 

loosestrife can form monocultures 

causing blockages and 

flooding. 

“We don’t want this for our 

region’s wetlands and watercourses,” 

Mr Sullivan said. 

Purple loosestrife produces 

millions of long-lived, highly viable 

seeds from an early age. It 

can tolerate hot or cold conditions, 

and low to high nutrient 

levels in the water. 

Its seed is spread by the movement 

of water, contaminated 

machinery and soil. 

Now is the optimum time to 

identify if you have purple loosestrife 

on your property. 

What to look out for: 

•A tall green perennial herb 

that grows anywhere between 1 

and 3m tall in summer. 

•It will have a taproot with 

many branched stems that feel 

square shaped when you rub 

them between your thumb and 

finger. 

•Look for narrow leaves that 

are in pairs and alternate up the 

stem. 

•During the summer months, 

it will have showy, densely hairy 

flower head spikes. 

•Later in the season you may 

see blackish seed capsules, about 

3mm long. 

•There are no similar species 

that grow this tall. 

What to do: 

•Take a photo of the suspected 

plant(s) and email it, along with 

the location of the sighting to 

Gemma Livingstone at gemma. 

livingstone@ecan.govt.nz 

•Alternatively, you can call 

0800 EC INFO and leave your 

name, contact number, and the 

location of the suspected sighting.

Your Local Views 

The things we spend our rates on 

Following 

recent 

publicity 

around 

rubbish bin 

collection in 

the Bays area, 

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

takes a moment to reflect 

on how our rates are spent 

We are very fortunate, in 

my view, to have had for many 

years a city council that believes 

in ensuring that more than 

just potholes and rubbish are 

attended to as its job – although 

in recent times those in the 

beach suburbs know very well 

that it wasn’t doing the rubbish 

job quite as well as was needed. 

But the things I am talking 

about are the festivals, the events, 

the fun things that are so often 

sponsored by the city council 

(sometimes in partnership) that 

are then free or very reasonably 

priced for people to enjoy. 

I always enjoy the Ingham’s 

Lazy Sundays which is an 

example of that partnership – 

what is better than sitting in 

the Botanical Gardens on a fine 

Sunday afternoon listening to 

great music and surrounded by 

people who are doing the same – 

and it’s free. 

And likewise the buskers are 

just a delight and even though 

you should make a financial 

contribution, for the street gigs 

you can just enjoy it if you don’t 

have any money. 

The final figures for the 

buskers hasn’t been publicised 

yet so it’s not known if this year 

was another loss or if it made 

POPULAR: The World 

Buskers Festival is one of the 

events supported by the city 

council. 

a profit. Certainly the better 

weather brought out the crowds 

compared to last year. 

As well as the actual 

shows that I went to, I really 

enjoyed sitting and watching 

the audience watching the 

performers. 

I went to one event in Albion 

Square in Lyttelton on a 

beautiful Saturday afternoon. 

It was packed with a very agediverse 

crowd. And people were 

laughing and clapping and 

talking with one another. 

I know that we pay our rates 

so that our city council provides 

services – water, sewerage, roads, 

footpaths, rubbish collections 

etcetera. But I am delighted that 

our city council also invests a 

small amount of our rates and 

gets a really big return – fun and 

happiness for our residents. I 

think we deserve it!

Blitz on sea lavender 



Yvette 

Couch-Lewis 

A NEW plan to restore the 

ecological and cultural 

health of Lyttelton 

Harbour is being 

launched next month. 

The Whaka Ora 

Healthy Harbour plan 

arose after community 

consultation on the Lyttelton 

Port Recovery 

Plan showed a need for 

a co-ordinated approach 

to address water quality 

and environmental problems in 

the area. 

Soil erosion and sediment 

run-off, storm and wastewater 

discharge, and vessel and port operation 

contaminants were among 

a range of issues identified. 

Key organisations within the 

Lyttelton catchment – the city 

council, Environment Canterbury, 

Te Runanga o Ngai Tahu, Te 

Hapu o Ngati Wheke and Lyttelton 

Port Company – have worked 

on the plan for more than a year. 

A governance group made up 

of a representative from each 

group will oversee annual project 

plans and budgets, consider 

future funding streams and set 

up a working group to deliver 

programmes. 

It will include LPC chief executive 

Peter Davie, TRONT representative 

Yvette Couch-Lewis 

(chairwoman), ECan councillor 

Elizabeth Cunningham, 

and Te Hapu o Ngati 

Wheke representative 

Cara Edwards. 

The organisations 

involved have spent 

$600,000 over a threeyear 

period ending in 

2018 to develop the plan 

and for its initial implementation. 

Funding will come 

through the organisations’ 

existing work programmes. 

However, according to the plan, 

“implementation . . . will require 

additional 

resourcing to implement the priority 

and short-term projects.” 

The plan will be reviewed 

three-yearly with the first review 

in 2021. 

Whaka Ora Healthy Harbour 

management plan will be 

launched at Rapaki Marae on 

March 7. 

There will also be a community 

launch with beach clean ups and 

barbecues around Lyttelton, Governors 

Bay and Diamond Harbour 

on March 9 from 4.30pm.

to eradicate pest 

A BLITZ attack on sea lavender 

– a pest plant that strangles 

native species – has brought its 

eradication one step closer. 

City council ecologist Kristina 

Macdonald led 12 members 

of the city council’s parks team 

and a Forest and Bird volunteer 

on a search and destroy mission 

targeting sea lavender plants 

near the lower Heathcote River 

last week. 

The Heathcote River was the 

first site in New Zealand where 

the pest plant was found and 

the city council is looking at 

eradicating it within the next 10 

years. 

Sea lavender, which has deep 

tap roots, spreads to form a 

dense mat in saltmarsh areas. It 

crowds out existing native plant 

species preventing them from 

establishing. 

“There used to be thousands 

of plants here but now that we 

are down to lower numbers we 

think eradication might truly be 

possible,” Ms Macdonald says. 

About 650 plants were dug 

out during last week’s project in 

the lower Heathcote River area, 

the only site in Christchurch 

PEST PLANT: City council ecologist Kristina Macdonald helps

city where it has been found. 

The next closest affected site is 

in Akaroa which the Department 

of Conservation controls. 

“It’s been there for a while 

and both staff and volunteers 

have been controlling it for over 

10 years. We thought we’d get 

a group together and do a grid 

search and remove what we 

could find,” Ms Macdonald said 

“It was a very successful effort.” 

Residents living in the 

Lower Heathcote area should 

check their gardens for this 

“wee beastie” which will be in 

flower for the next couple of 

weeks, she said. 

“If they find any plants they 

should dig them out making 

sure they get the roots and put 

them into the city council red 

rubbish bins.” 

Forest and Bird own and look 

after the Calder Green reserve 

on the Lower Heathcote where 

sea lavender was first found in 

the 1980s.

Summer surf ‘keeps on giving’ 

Aaron's Surf Report 

SPORTS 

THE EPIC summer just keeps 

on giving at the moment. 

Consistent warm days, light 

winds and 20 deg C plus water 

temperatures have meant for 

perfect surf conditions. 

Swell-wise we’ve been alternating 

weeks with one flat week followed 

by one good week of swell 

so there have been plenty of fun 

waves around. 

This week the tropical wave 

machine kicks into gear with a 

big low dropping down from the 

Coral Sea. 

A huge, but short lived swell 

charged through on Thursday 

producing some great waves but 

the wind unfortunately was a bit 

too strong for epic conditions. 

We should see plenty of east 

and north-easterly swells from 

the tropics this month as this is 

traditionally our best season for 

surf.

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

Somogyvari battles at Taylors on Sunday to win the annual Point Surf Trophy open section. 

at Stoke St and the adults battled 

three-foot-plus conditions at 

Taylors on the Sunday. Rodney 

Somogyvari won the open with 

Aaron Stanley-Joblin second. In 

the cadets, Jordan Sparrow won 

the boys and Sienna O’Shaunesy 

won the girls. Jack Tyro won the 

younger boys age group. 

There’s been a lot happening 

on the contest scene with local 

surfers achieving some great 

results around the country. 

The highlights include Harrison 

Whiteside chasing the New 

Zealand surf series all last year, 

finishing the 2017 national series 

with a second on the under-20 

circuit and a third in the open 

men’s. 

Harrison has been the South 

Island’s quiet achiever recently 

and is consistently one of New 

Zealand’s top surfers competing 

against New Zealand’s best. 

Hugh Ritchie from Exit Surf 

travelled all the way to Hainan 

Island in China for the ISA world 

longboarding champs as part of 

a four person New Zealand team. 

Hugh was disappointed in his 

results with small inconsistent 

surf making things difficult. He 

placed 31st which is still pretty 

good on a world stage. 

Donna and Ava Henderson 

had great results at the Health 

2000 national champs in Gisborne, 

both winning national titles 

in the over 40 and under-14. 

Lucy Te Moananui was also 

there, winning the over 30s title 

and placing third in the SUP but 

just missing out on second and 

the New Zealand SUP team by 

half a point. Estella Hungerford 

was second in the longboard and 

fourth in the under-16s. 

Jordan Sparrow has been 

chasing the South Island groms 

series and posted his first win in 

great waves at Westport. Jordan 

smashed two good waves to win 

the under-18 boys final against a 

tough field. Ava Henderson won 

both the under-14 and under-16 

girls in Westport and under-14s 

in Dunedin. Jack Tyro won the 

under-12 boys in Westport. 

Holly Campbell, Poppy Entwisle, 

Olive Entwisle, Amelie Wink 

and Ruby Armstrong have all 

been getting great results too. 

Events coming up include the 

Malfunction Longboard event 

at New Brighton on February 

17-18 and the Cape Classic in 

Westport, 24-25 February.

The Saboteur: The Aristocrat 

Who Became France’s Most 

Daring Anti-Nazi Commando 

by Paul Kix 

In the tradition of ‘Agent Zigzag’ comes a breathtaking 

biography of WWII’s ‘Scarlet Pimpernel’ as fast-paced 

and emotionally intuitive as the best spy thrillers. This 

celebrates unsung hero Robert de La Rochefoucauld, an aristocrat turned 

anti-Nazi saboteur, and his exploits as a British Special Operations Executivetrained 

resistant. A scion of one of the oldest families in France, Robert de 

La Rochefoucauld was raised in a magnificent chateau and educated in 

Europe’s finest schools. When the Nazis invaded and imprisoned his father, 

La Rochefoucauld escaped to England and was trained in the dark arts 

of anarchy and combat – cracking safes, planting bombs and killing with 

his bare hands – by a collection of SOE spies. With his newfound skills, 

La Rochefoucauld returned to France and organized Resistance cells, blew 

up fortified compounds and munitions factories, interfered with Germany’s 

wartime missions and executed Nazi officers. Caught by the Germans, La 

Rochefoucauld withstood months of torture and escaped his own death 

sentence, not once but twice. 

The 1,000-Year-Old Boy 

by Ross Welford 

The astonishing, beautiful new story for all readers of 10 and over from 

the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of TIME TRAVELLING WITH A 

HAMSTER. 

‘A wonderful story’ Kiran Millwood Hargrave There are stories about people 

who want to live forever. This is not one of those stories. This is a story 

about someone who wants to stop… Alfie Monk is like any other nearly 

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

Viking invasion of England. 

Obviously no one believes him. So when everything Alfie knows and loves 

is destroyed in a fire, and the modern world comes crashing in, Alfie 

embarks on a mission to find friendship, acceptance, and a different way to 

live… which means finding a way to make sure he will eventually die.

REAL ESTATE 

Love the location, build the dream - “As-Is, Where-Is” 

37 Horotane Valley Rd, Heathcote 

Auction: 22 February 2018, unless sold prior 

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

A myriad of possibilities fill the mind 

with what could be achieved at this 4 acre 

Horotane Valley property which is being 

sold on an ‘as is, where is’ basis. 

With the Port Hills as its backdrop and 

views that stretch across to the city, this 

property is perfectly positioned to enjoy 

the vistas and micro-climate that this area 

is so renowned for. The surrounds offer a 

genuine sense of seclusion and tranquility 

despite it being just a five-minute drive 

from central Ferrymead and approx. 15 

minutes from the central city. 

The generous four-bedroom, threebathroom 

family character home has a 

verandah and a great outlook with lovely 

space surrounding the home. However, the 

spacious interior has visibly felt the effects 

of the city’s seismic activity and is now a 

little worse for wear, which provides the 

new buyer with a superb opportunity to 

either breathe new life into the home, or 

perhaps start from scratch. 

One particularly noteworthy feature 

of this property is the converted double 

garage which now hosts a single studio 

with a bathroom, and it is a space that 

could easily be used as accommodation 

once any repairs have commenced on the 

home itself. 

The sprawling four acres of semi-rural 

land has great biodiversity and is non-sub 

dividable with established gardens, fruit 

trees, the sweet sound of birdsong and very 

usable flat lawn. 

It hosts numerous outbuildings which 

include a tunnel house, shade house, sleep 

out, horse stables, double garage with 

separate workshop, two storage units, a 

railway carriage and three sheds. 

Buyers who have dreamt of creating a 

life in a convenient countryside setting 

will gravitate towards this property which 

presents the promise of a project and 

exciting potential. 

Having made countless memories at this 

property for the past 25 years, the time 

has arrived to downsize, and the vendors 

are determined to achieve a result. Early 

inspection is recommended. 

Auction date Thursday 22 Feb 12:00 p.m. 

(Grenadier House, 98 Moorhouse Ave) 

Unless Sold Prior 

Open Home Dates: Wednesday and 

Saturday 3.00pm – 4.00pm until auction 

day. See you at one of the Open Days, or for 

a private viewing or for more information 

contact Alison Carter of Harcourts 

Grenadier Ferrymead (Licensed Agent
