Pool
• By Julia Evans
COMMUNITY consultation is
about to start on the $21 million
Linwood Woolston Pool.
At its meeting yesterday, the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board tabled a
document which will go out to the
community in the next four to six
weeks to gather feedback on the
pool’s location and features of the
facility.
In a report, city council staff
said the consultation would “support
a fully informed decision on
the selection of a site and gather
additional feedback on community
requirements/expectations of
the facility.”
Feedback will then be taken
into consideration during the
development of the pool’s concept
plan, which is expected to be
started in July.

FINALLY, WE have some action on the
long-running saga of a pool in Linwood/
Woolston.
Community consultation is about to
begin on the $21 million project. In the
next four to six weeks the public will be able to have their say on
where it should be and what features they would like.
This step has been a very long time coming but there is light,
albeit still distant, at the end of the tunnel.
The area needs a pool and somewhere along Linwood Ave is
probably a good spot.
On the facilities front, great news for Parklands and
Queenspark – stage 1 of the Pukeko Centre has opened.
Lots of hard work has gone in by the community.

Pier scaffolding recovered
• By Julia Evans
DIVERS HELPED recover the
scaffolding which broke loose
from the New Brighton Pier
during Cyclone Gita.
The high tide and large waves
on Wednesday caused one of the
scaffolding’s gantries to fall into
the sea.
Divers and a boat, along
with an excavator, winches and
cables, were used last week to
recover the metal framework.
City council contractors were
forced to remove scaffolding
boards and wind down
operations on the pier during
Cyclone Gita as a precaution.
“There is likely to be debris
near the beach that poses a
potential hazard to surfers,” city
council staff said.
Contractors have been
working since the start of
the year to repair columns
which sustained damage in
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
The $9.7 million pier repairs
are set to be completed next
month.
REPAIRS TO CLOCK
Scaffolding has been erected
to mark the beginning of
repairs to the New Brighton
clock tower. Structural
engineers will start to
complete investigations about
the damage sustained. Some
damage has been caused from
the earthquakes, however
other is historical damage.
City council has ensured that
access ways including the
ramp and some steps have
remained clear to the café and
library.

Parklands sports centre opens pavilion
• By Sophie Cornish
STAGE ONE of a multi-use
sports and recreation facility in
Parklands was officially opened
on Saturday by Mayor Lianne
Dalziel.
The first stage of the Pukeko
Centre consists of a clubrooms
and pavilion, which is located
on the grounds of the Parklands
Bowling Club.
The pavilion project cost more
than $1 million and includes a
bar, lounge area, separate office,
meeting rooms and a commercial
kitchen.
There is also seating for up to
200 people and a viewing deck
looking out on to the bowling
green.
The centre is a joint venture
between the bowling club and
Parklands Rugby Football Club,
which will also use the facility’s
clubrooms.
The bowling club’s facilities
were damaged beyond repair
in the February 22, 2011, earthquake
and the rugby club has
been without a clubrooms for
three years.
Two buildings, a school hall
and a ‘modern learning studio’
were relocated to the site from
the former Freeville School.
Centre spokeswoman Jane
Mahoney said it was “a stroke of
genius” to approach the Ministry
of Education to relocate the
buildings, which were earmarked
for demolition.
The ministry then gifted the
buildings to the two clubs.
Mrs Mahoney said parents of
former Freeville School pupils
were “thrilled” the buildings
were not demolished. A big
fundraising effort from the community
led to the development of

the school hall.
The next stages of the project
include turning the school hall
into a multi-use sports hall,
building an outdoor all-weather
sports court, landscaping and car
parking.
Grants from the New Zealand
Community Trust, Rata Foundation
and Southern Trust are
being used to fund the development.
Local businesses and trades
people have also offered their
time and money.
Mrs Mahoney said there had
been “thousands” of volunteer
hours put in already.
The opening was attended by
150 guests, including Christchurch
East MP Poto Williams,
community representatives,
sponsors and members from the
two sport clubs.

Feedback sought
on $21m Linwood
Woolston pool
•From page 1
The city council has allocated
about $21.6 million in its Long
Term Plan for the facility and
outlined its preferred location as
the nursery site at Linwood Park,
near the corner of Linwood Ave
and Smith St.
“This location meets all
our criteria, which makes it a
standout option for the community.
Currently this section of
Linwood Park is an old nursery
that is no longer used and has
good quality land that is already
owned by the city council,” the
report said.
Other benefits of the Linwood
Park site include proximity to
Eastgate Shopping Centre and
the Linwood Library. There is
also a major cycleway next to the
site and room for the facility to
grow.
Further possible locations
identified include Woolston
Park, 180 Smith St, the Linwood
Service Centre, an alternative
location on Linwood Park and
Bromley Park.
Construction of the pool is not
expected to start until the end of
next year and be completed in
2021.
“Once this round of engagement
has closed . . . a recommendation
on where it should
be built will be made to the
Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board. At this stage,
we expect that they will decide
on a site mid-2018,” the consultation
document said.
There will be a second round of
consultation regarding the facility’s
concept design.
“We expect this will kick off
early in the second half of 2018.”
The former Woolston Outdoor
Pool, which was next to the old
Woolston School, was removed
in 2006.
The community has been campaigning
for a new one for years.

NATIVE FISH, including eels
and whitebait, are being rescued
from the Linwood Canal to
ensure their survival while a new
cycleway is built.
Work on the second stage of
the Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway
along Linwood Ave between Linwood
Park and Dyers Rd started
in early January.
A cofferdam – an enclosure
built in the water to create
a dry work environment for
construction – is being built in
the Linwood Canal to widen the
shoulder of Linwood Ave.
Water will be drained from
the cofferdam leaving resident
fish – likely including eels,
inanga (whitebait) and common
bullies – marooned if they’re not
removed first.
WPS Opus Ecologist Annabelle
Coates, who is carrying
out the rescue mission for the
city council, is unsure how many
fish she will find: “We’re not
expecting huge numbers because
traditionally the Linwood Canal
hasn’t been that diverse, however,
we could be surprised by the
numbers and species as that has
been known to happen at other
locations.”
She is hopeful there could be
some endangered long-finned
eels living in the canal.
Ms Coates will use fyke nets
to catch as many fish in the
cofferdam as possible before collecting
the rest using an electric
fishing machine that attracts
and then stuns the fish. She’ll
remove them from the water in a
net before releasing them in the
main part of the canal. The process
does not harm the fish and
is deliberately being carried out
outside of spawning season.
The ecologist will also be on
hand when water is drained from
the cofferdam in case there are
any fish left behind. “The council
has an obligation to protect
native fish and to maintain fish
passage so this has to be done
and it’s an easy thing to do to
save them,” she says.

manager Adrian Thein said fish
conservation is a condition of resource
consent and an important
part of minimising the impact
of cycleway work on the local
environment and ecology.
“Native fish and their spawning
habitats are legally protected
so we have to take care not to
harm them when doing essential
work around waterways. We’re
always happy to do our bit to
make sure the local flora and
fauna is preserved.”
Last year about 26 shortfin eels
were removed from a Woolston
drain using a similar electric
fishing method to make way for
the development of the Te Oranga
Waikura Urban Forest and
Stormwater Basin in Linwood.
2 down, 4 to go!
We’re working in three key central
city intersections over six weekends,
8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March.
We’ve finished work in the Montreal/

These intersections need replacing.
We’re digging them out and rebuilding
them to extend their lifespan.
Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.
If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –
we’ll be back again soon.
The intersections will remain rougher
than usual until April or May, when the
final surface will be applied.

ONE THING I love about our

aren’t afraid to call it how it is
and to take some action to solve
problems.
In spite of not always feeling
the love in terms of service, it’s in
our nature to give things a go and
get things done.

found lately is the Snap Send

pictures with your phone and
report problems (like pollution,
etc) to both the city council and
Environment Canterbury.
You can log something and
straight away it goes into these
organisations’ tracking systems
and usually the results are
good.
It can be used to report issues
with graffiti, rubbish, parks,
roads, waterways and so on.
I love it because I have a phobia
of using telephones and I can
log problems and know they got
to the right place and are being
tracked.
I have found it particularly
useful with getting rid of graffiti
and rubbish dumped in our
corner of the red zone.
Snap Send Solve was also
effective in getting a faded
pedestrian crossing painted so
that motorists could see it and
stop.
This was done within a week of
the request.
Where hasn’t it been so
effective for me?
I reported a problem with
traffic light phasing, where there
are often 12 cars queued during
peak hours and the lights were
letting two to three cars out per
phase.
In spite of backing up my
report with pictures and
timings, I was told there was
no problem and no changes
would be made.
It often depends on who
receives your report.
Also, once I reported a large
amount of sediment dumped into
a waterway and ECan only got
the report two days later.
So maybe sometimes you still
do need to use that telephone.
Readers respond to an
article about trees in South
New Brighton Domain
which could fall at anytime,
according to Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
deputy chairman Tim Sintes
Maria Mann – Those trees
have been unsafe for weeks. My

the domain. They should have
been removed a while ago.
Andrew Gold – Lock everyone

Just leave it alone.
Tess Lenihan – Not happening.
Too much money has
been spent already. They’ve
increased rates for that church
and are pondering fuel tax for

they get money from for general
maintenance.
Peter Cooper – That’s just

they actually go?
Andrew McDrury – Yes,

It’s hard to imagine why you
wouldn’t assess the rest.

South New Brighton Domain are a health and safety concern.
Jo Garrick – Simple answer,
yes. The question should not have
even been asked, safety first.
Mark McLaren – They will
have to put the rates up to be able
to get to this.

they should go, it’s an accident

Keep QE II in the East
spokeswoman Jo Zervos
responds to Coastal-
Burwood Community Board
member Linda Stewart’s
soapbox about the need
for a 50m pool at the new
recreation and sport centre
The Keep QE II in the East
group are supportive of Linda
Stewart’s proposal for extra pool
space at the new QE II facility.
There is so much excitement in
our community for the impending
opening of the new facility in
June. However, we are concerned
not everyone in our community
will get a fair opportunity to
use it. There are so many clubs,
groups and individuals wanting
to use the new facility, along with
the thousands of school children
from the area.
Lane swimmers, aqua-joggers,
swim clubs, water polo players
and leisure swimmers will have
to fit in around city council-run
programmes and classes.
We have always opposed the
QE II replacement complex being
built in the city. QE II has always
been the perfect site, with links
to other recreational sites (river,
beaches, forest, red zone, wetlands)
and it is the perfect area to
host triathlons, which would use
a 50m pool.
The original QE II facility was
built with a huge amount of local
community input. The insurance
money from QE II should have
been fully reinvested in a replacement
facility in the east.
Christchurch is in dire need
of a 50m competition pool, and
with the proposed metro centre
in doubt, surely an alternative site
should be considered.
By the time Christchurch gets
a replacement competition pool,
a full decade of swimmers have
missed out.
We propose that one of the
quickest and economical options
for the city is to add on to the
new QE II facility.

New lease of life for
Avebury House
• By Sophie Cornish
AVEBURY HOUSE Community
Trust will receive $11,500 to go
towards its three-year plan to
re-establish the role the historic
building plays in the community.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board approved
the grant last week which will
come out of its strengthening
communities fund.
Located in Richmond, the
trust’s aim is to renew itself as a
community development organisation
and social enterprise.
The house is now part of the
residential red zone. The trust offers
free or low cost activities for
people to socialise at the house.
The funding will cover wages
for a new employee, an upgrade
to the kitchen, an ICT upgrade
and other expenses.
The new employee will have
a community development role
and will be tasked with finding
out what local people need.
The trust will also carry out
surveys using social media and
phone campaigns in an attempt
to get a further understanding
of how it can benefit the community.
By establishing itself as a social
enterprise, the house can be used
as a venue for weddings, meetings
and small conferences.
Upgrading the kitchen will also
allow it to be hired out for activities
such as cooking classes.
COMMUNITY HUB: Richmond
heritage building Avebury
House, where the community
trust operates from.
Whitebait initiative gets pupils to take care of waterways
A MINISTRY of Business
Innovation and Employment
grant will allow pupils from
South New Brighton, Waitākiri
and Rawhiti schools to learn
about the life cycle of whitebait
(inanga) in red zone waterways.
Investigate: Īnanga is a new
educational initiative designed to
meet New Zealand curriculum

standards. It will be delivered in
collaboration with teachers and
scientists in class and in the field.
Haeata Community Campus
students will also take part in the
initiative.
Said Anzac Drive Reservebased
Mahinga Kai Exemplar
project manager Kathryn Bates:
“Recent post-quake studies have
found parts of the edge of Kate
Sheppard Lake are very productive
inanga spawning areas,
which provides an opportunity
for young pupils to learn about
a significant aspect of the world
around them.
“Not only do they get to
understand the life cycle of an
important native species, they
also learn about the kind of
habitat that they live in and why
it is important we look after our
rivers and wetlands,” she said.
The initiative is a collaboration
between Avon-Otakaro Network,
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu,
EOS Ecology Ltd and Whitebait
Connection.
Regenerate Christchurch chief
executive Ivan Iafeta is supportive.
“This programme aligns
closely with the vision for the
Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor as
‘a place of learning and discovery
where traditional knowledge,
science and technology meet
and the objective’s to create a
restored habitat and establish a
world-leading, living laboratory.”

Children reflect on quake with river of flowers
A ‘RIVER of flowers’ was
created by Queenspark School
pupils and families to mark
the seventh anniversary of the
Canterbury earthquakes.
Pupils wrote reflective
messages along with laying of
flowers.
“It is an opportunity to come
together as a school community
and reflect how far we have
come since the earthquakes,”
said Queenspark School spokeswoman
Rebecca Taylor.
“It creates a place to remember
the 185 people who lost their
lives and also thinking about the
first responders, the emergency
services and the people of Canterbury
who helped others in
need,” she said.
FLOWERS: Elouise, 6, with
her contribution to the ‘river

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834
Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s
finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has
come to the market for the very first
time. This sprawling home is as unique
as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2
bathrooms, media room, office, formal
dining, formal living and massive garaging
on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and
opulent in its design, the owners wanted
to create an authentic home where their
family could simply relax, enjoy and soak
in the peace and tranquillity of the land
and location. If you have ever considered
a property with large garaging you’ll know
that very rarely does such an opportunity
like this present itself. Whether you
are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,
hobbyist, work from home, or just have
the requirement for expansive garaging,
this address is a must to inspect! Once this
property has been sold, there are no others
to replace it. With instructions to sell on or
before auction day, what are you prepared
