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

FINALLY WE have some action on the<br />
long-running saga of a pool in Linwood/<br />
Woolston.<br />
Community consultation is about to<br />
begin on the $21 million project and in the<br />
next four to six weeks, the public will be able to have their say on<br />
where it should be and what features they would like.<br />
This step has been a very long time coming but there is light,<br />
albeit still distant, at the end of the tunnel.<br />
The area needs a pool and somewhere along Linwood Ave is<br />
probably a good spot.<br />

Coastal pathway $10m short<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A KEY piece of the Christchurch<br />
Coastal Pathway is in limbo due<br />
to a $10 million shortfall.<br />
Heathcote Ward city<br />
councillor Sara Templeton<br />
last week pushed through an<br />
amendment to the city council’s<br />
draft Long Term Plan to try<br />
and prioritise<br />
what she said<br />
was a “key piece<br />
of community<br />
infrastructure.”<br />
The 760m<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
section from<br />
Shag Rock to the<br />
Sumner Surf Life<br />
Saving Club is<br />
jointly funded by the city council<br />
and the Coastal Pathway Group.<br />
It is expected to take 12 months<br />
to build, with an anticipated<br />
start date of April.<br />
However, the final part,<br />
between Moncks Bay and Shag<br />
Rock, currently has no funding<br />
allocated.<br />
Ms Templeton’s amendment<br />
means a report with an estimate<br />
of the costs for the section and<br />
a timeframe for delivery will be<br />
included in the draft Long Term<br />
Plan and the community will be<br />
able to make submissions on it.<br />
PATHWAY: A key section of the planned Christchurch Coastal Pathway is in limbo due to a $10<br />
million shortfall.<br />
There was a lack of<br />
understanding about the<br />
coastal pathway, with some city<br />
councillors viewing it as purely a<br />
“recreational nice-to-have,” she<br />
said.<br />
“This report, and community<br />
submissions, will enable the<br />
project to have the best chance at<br />
success.”<br />
Ms Templeton said the<br />
original footpath on the other<br />
side of the road was removed<br />
during rockfall remediation<br />
work and was not replaced.<br />
She said the Moncks<br />
Bay pathway is currently a<br />
“dangerous informal path” with<br />
a drop down to the rocks or sea<br />
below.<br />
“Footpaths are a core council<br />
function, but this section is<br />
currently not funded at all,” she<br />
said.<br />

The Spreydon-Cashmere<br />

lights would be connected to an<br />
automatic timer set to switch<br />
off at 9pm every evening. If<br />
approved by the city council,<br />
the lights may be put in by<br />
April or May.<br />
MANUKA COTTAGE<br />
The city council has received<br />
two tender applications for the<br />
design and construction of<br />
the new Manuka Cottage on<br />

Pier scaffolding recovered<br />
• By Julia Evans<br />
DIVERS HELPED recover the<br />
scaffolding which broke loose<br />
from the New Brighton Pier<br />
during Cyclone Gita.<br />
The high tide and large waves<br />
on Wednesday caused one of<br />
the scaffolding’s gantries to fall<br />
into the sea.<br />
Divers and a boat, along with<br />
an excavator, winches<br />
and cables, were used last<br />
week to recover the metal<br />
framework.<br />
City council contractors were<br />
forced to remove scaffolding<br />
boards and wind down<br />
operations on the pier during<br />
Cyclone Gita as a precaution.<br />
“There is likely to be debris<br />
near the beach that poses a<br />
potential hazard to surfers,” city<br />
council staff said.<br />
Contractors have been<br />
working since the start of<br />
the year to repair columns<br />
which sustained damage in<br />
the <strong>February</strong> 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
The $9.7 million pier repairs<br />
are set to be completed next<br />
month.<br />
•From page 1<br />
Joan was just 14 when she first<br />
spotted Ray walking through<br />
Cass Square in Hokitika and<br />
thought to herself “there’s a nice<br />
looking chap.”<br />
At 18, they became engaged<br />
and when Ray bought a section<br />
in Kaniere Rd in Hokitika two<br />
years later, he started to build<br />
them a house.<br />
In 1948, when they were both<br />
21, they travelled by train over<br />
the mountains to Christchurch<br />
and were married at St Giles<br />
Presbyterian Church on Papanui<br />
Rd, with just a bridesmaid and<br />
best man as witnesses.<br />
Joan wore an ice-blue dress<br />
and Ray a brown, double-breasted<br />
pin stripe suite.<br />
Over the next three years, their<br />
children, Shirley and Graeme,<br />
were born and Ray started work<br />
as an apprentice joiner with R.W.<br />
Ross in Hokitika.<br />
Upon shifting to Christchurch<br />
in 1957, Ray worked as a maintenance<br />
carpenter at Sunnyside<br />
Hospital where Joan was employed<br />
as a nurse.<br />
After living in Hoon Hay,<br />
Avonhead, Cashmere and St<br />
Martins, they moved to an<br />
apartment at Cashmere <strong>View</strong><br />
Retirement Village last year<br />
where they enjoy the village environment,<br />
river walks, and visits<br />
from their six grandchildren<br />
and six great-grandchildren.<br />
Daughter Shirley Eddington<br />
said the morning tea was a lovely<br />
occasion.<br />
“They all enjoyed it and<br />
they’ve kept talking about it ever<br />
since.”<br />

Rubbish problems ease off<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE DELUGE of rubbish in<br />
Sumner has eased since school<br />
holidays ended.<br />
The Sumner Community<br />
Residents’ Association met with<br />
city council staff and Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community<br />
Board member Darrell Latham<br />
to discuss<br />
maintenance of<br />
Sumner’s public<br />
spaces, including<br />
concerns around<br />
the frequency of<br />
rubbish bins being<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
emptied in Sumner<br />
and Taylors<br />
Mistake.<br />
After being<br />
emptied twice a day following<br />
publicity around overflowing<br />
bins, the city council has returned<br />
to once a day and twice on weekends,<br />
plus an additional emptying<br />
at night.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Brent Smith said the rationalisation<br />
of contracts for the removal<br />
of rubbish in Sumner was still<br />
being considered, and the installation<br />
of larger bins and smart<br />
bins was under review.<br />
Currently Sumner has rubbish<br />
contracts operated by different<br />
contractors for the beach<br />
(these come under the parks<br />
contract) and for the village<br />
(these come under transport).<br />
“We await further information<br />
about these contracts and<br />
if, how and when they will be<br />
rationalised. We are wanting<br />
to develop a strategy towards a<br />
suburb-wide solution, not just a<br />
beach solution,” said Mr Smith.<br />
Having several wheelie bins<br />
strapped together at key points<br />
on the Esplanade to cope with<br />
heavy usage periods was also<br />
discussed at the meeting.<br />
Dr Latham, who organised<br />
and chaired the meeting, said it<br />
had been very positive.<br />
“Issues were addressed with<br />
a view to putting into place<br />
short-term actions to address<br />
TIDY: Empty<br />
rubbish bins<br />
are now the<br />
norm in Sumner.<br />

current rubbish problems. As<br />
well (that) longer term planning<br />
is being considered so that<br />
going forward the Sumner<br />
community and visitors are<br />
not placed in a situation where<br />
we have a repeat of the recent<br />
problems.”<br />
There will be a follow-up<br />
meeting in six months to review<br />
progress.<br />

Meet your<br />
community<br />
patrol<br />
EVER WONDERED what a<br />
community patrol does to help<br />
the local area?<br />
The Christchurch South Community<br />
Patrol is set to showcase<br />
the work it does for the community<br />
at the Barrington shopping<br />
centre on Sunday and Monday.<br />
The patrol car will be on display<br />
and patrollers will be in the mall<br />
to answer questions between<br />
10am and 5pm.<br />
The group’s main goal is to keep<br />
the community safe, patrolling<br />
from Halswell to Ferrymead.<br />
But it also helps with security at<br />
major events at Addington Raceway,<br />
Horncastle Arena and AMI<br />
Stadium by patrolling the car<br />
parks and surrounding streets.<br />
During the Port Hills fire and<br />
the recent fires in West Melton,<br />
the patrol was called on to assist<br />
with traffic control and secure<br />
properties.<br />
The patrol also supports the city<br />
council by recording incidents<br />
of graffiti and litter so it can be<br />
removed as quickly as possible.<br />

2 down, 4 to go!<br />
We’re working in three key central<br />
city intersections over six weekends,<br />
8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March.<br />
We’ve finished work in the Montreal/<br />
Tuam intersection. There are four more<br />
weekends of work in two intersections<br />
to go.<br />
These intersections need replacing.<br />
We’re digging them out and rebuilding<br />
them to extend their lifespan.<br />
Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time.<br />
If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry –<br />
we’ll be back again soon.<br />
The intersections will remain rougher<br />
than usual until April or May, when the<br />
final surface will be applied.<br />
Project delivered by:<br />
• Avoid unnecessary travel through the<br />
city. Go around using the four avenues.<br />
• When we’re working on Durham<br />
Street, use Barbadoes and Madras<br />
Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />
• Expect delays. Allow extra time and<br />
plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz.<br />
• Buses will run as usual. Expect<br />
short delays.<br />
• Bike or walk if you can.<br />
INTERSECTION 2 — Durham St<br />
2 — 5 March<br />
Durham Street between Lichfield Street and<br />
Tuam Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />
Use Barbadoes and Madras Streets to get in and out of the city.<br />
INTERSECTION 3 — St Asaph St<br />
9 — 12 March<br />
St Asaph Street between Antigua Street and<br />
Hagley Avenue is closed. Antigua Street is<br />
one lane.<br />
Use Moorhouse to travel west.<br />
16 — 19 March<br />
Durham Street between Tuam Street and St<br />
Asaph Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane.<br />
23 — 26 March<br />

Feedback<br />
sought on<br />
Linwood<br />
Woolston<br />
Pool<br />
•From page 1<br />
The city council has allocated<br />
about $21.6 million in its Long<br />
Term Plan for the facility and<br />
outlined its preferred location<br />
as the nursery site at Linwood<br />
Park, near the corner of<br />
Linwood Ave and Smith St.<br />
“This location meets all<br />
our criteria, which makes it a<br />
standout option for the community.<br />
Currently this section of<br />
Linwood Park is an old nursery<br />
that is no longer used and has<br />
good quality land that is already<br />
owned by the city council,” the<br />
report said.<br />
Another benefit of the Linwood<br />
Park site is its proximity<br />
to Eastgate Shopping Centre.<br />
There is also a major cycleway<br />
next to the site and room for the<br />
facility to grow. Further possible<br />
locations include Woolston<br />
Park, 180 Smith St, the Linwood<br />
Service Centre, an alternative<br />
location on Linwood Park and<br />
Bromley Park.<br />
Construction of the pool is<br />
not expected to start until the<br />
end of next year and be completed<br />
in 2021. “Once this round<br />
of engagement has closed . . . a<br />
recommendation on where it<br />
should be built will be made to<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board. At this<br />
stage, we expect that they will<br />
decide on a site mid-<strong>2018</strong>,” the<br />

NATIVE FISH, including eels<br />
and whitebait, are being rescued<br />
from the Linwood Canal to<br />
ensure their survival while a new<br />
cycleway is built.<br />
Work on the second stage<br />
of the Rapanui - Shag Rock<br />
Cycleway along Linwood Ave between<br />
Linwood Park and Dyers<br />
Rd started in early January.<br />
A cofferdam – an enclosure<br />
built in the water to create<br />
a dry work environment for<br />
construction – is being built in<br />
the Linwood Canal to widen the<br />
shoulder of Linwood Ave.<br />
Water will be drained from<br />
the cofferdam leaving resident<br />
fish – likely including eels, inanga<br />
(whitebait) and common bullies –<br />
marooned if they’re not removed<br />
first.<br />
WPS Opus Ecologist Annabelle<br />
Coates, who is carrying out<br />
the rescue mission for the city<br />
council, is unsure how many<br />
fish she will find: “We’re not<br />
expecting huge numbers because<br />
traditionally the Linwood Canal<br />
hasn’t been that diverse, however,<br />
we could be surprised by the<br />
numbers and species as that has<br />
been known to happen at other<br />
locations.”<br />
She is hopeful there could be<br />
some endangered long-finned<br />
eels living in the canal.<br />
Ms Coates will use fyke nets to<br />
catch as many fish in the cofferdam<br />
as possible before collecting<br />
the rest using an electric fishing<br />
machine that attracts and then<br />
stuns the fish. She’ll remove them<br />
from the water in a net before<br />
releasing them in the main part<br />
of the canal. The process does<br />
not harm the fish and is deliberately<br />
being carried out outside of<br />
spawning season.<br />
The ecologist will also be on<br />
hand when water is drained from<br />
the cofferdam in case there are<br />
any fish left behind. “The council<br />
has an obligation to protect native<br />
fish and to maintain fish passage<br />
so this has to be done and<br />
it’s an easy thing to do to save<br />
them,” she says.<br />
Council city services project<br />
manager Adrian Thein said fish<br />
conservation is a condition of resource<br />
consent and an important<br />
part of minimising the impact<br />
of cycleway work on the local<br />
environment and ecology.<br />
“Native fish and their spawning<br />
habitats are legally protected so<br />
we have to take care not to harm<br />
them when doing essential work<br />
around waterways. We’re always<br />
happy to do our bit to make<br />
sure the local flora and fauna is<br />
preserved.”<br />
Last year about 26 shortfin eels<br />
were removed from a Woolston<br />
drain using a similar electric<br />

Report looks at stretch<br />
of river ‘left to ruins’<br />
• By Bridget Rutherford<br />
BROKEN footpaths, overgrown<br />
vegetation and seats covered<br />
in graffiti along part of the<br />
Heathcote River have prompted<br />
an urgent report into poor<br />
maintenance.<br />
City councillor Yani Johanson<br />
said there had been a “complete<br />
lack of maintenance” along a<br />
stretch of the river from Opawa<br />
Rd to the estuary.<br />
“It’s everything. The rubbish<br />
bins are broken, the vegetation<br />
has grown over the rubbish bins,<br />
the seats are covered in graffiti<br />
and scratched, and the footpath<br />
is broken in some places,” he<br />
said.<br />
“It’s just been left to ruins.”<br />
Cr Johanson, supported by<br />
the Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board, has<br />
requested an urgent report on<br />
the maintenance levels along that<br />
stretch of the river.<br />
The report is expected to come<br />
back next month.<br />

FIVE PARKING spaces will be<br />
now retained after criticism of<br />
changes to bus stops and parking<br />
in central Lyttelton.<br />
As part of a proposal in<br />
October last year, the city council<br />
wanted to remove five parking<br />
spaces on Oxford St near the<br />
Winchester St intersection,<br />
to improve sight lines for<br />
pedestrians using the crossing<br />
– which it intends to make<br />
permanent.<br />
But after public opposition<br />
to the resulting loss of onstreet<br />
parking, the city council<br />
proposed an alternative<br />
crossing design which gives less<br />
sight distance, but still meets<br />
minimum design guidelines.<br />
The alternative design would<br />
result in safety improvements<br />
while retaining some on-street<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Woolston, especially around<br />
Radley St, had been particularly<br />
problematic.<br />
“In my view there’s a complete<br />
lack of maintenance.”<br />
Cr Johanson said it was a<br />
lovely part of the city, but it<br />
was not being looked after as it<br />
should be.<br />
At its recent meeting, the<br />
board also asked that a master<br />
plan for the area be developed,<br />
like there was for other sections<br />
of the river.<br />
It would give guidance for<br />
the long term management and<br />
enhancement of the lower part of<br />
the river.<br />
It also requested information<br />
on what landscaping would<br />
take place after the dredging<br />
of the Woolston Cut had<br />
finished.<br />
Meanwhile, the city council<br />
will decide at its meeting on<br />
Thursday whether to fast track<br />
the first stage of a dredging<br />
project along the river in a bid to<br />
reduce the flood risk.<br />
Parking spaces to be retained<br />
parking, according to a city<br />
council report on the issue.<br />
It said a school safety zone is in<br />
operation in the area, so speeds<br />
will be lower at times when the<br />
crossing is getting high use.<br />
The Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board has<br />
supported the alternative design,<br />
which will be implemented this<br />
year.<br />
The other changes include two<br />
existing bus stops on Winchester<br />
and Oxford Sts being replaced<br />
by one, located about 50m<br />
further north along Oxford St;<br />
a new bus stop seat; extending<br />
current time-restricted p3 and<br />
p120 parking outside Lyttelton<br />
Primary School and extending<br />
the no-stopping area on Oxford<br />
St north of London St.<br />
Work is programmed for<br />
April/May and will cost about<br />
$60,000.

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Landmark to be repaired by June<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
A LANDMARK apartment<br />
building opposite Sumner beach<br />
is set to be fully repaired by<br />
June.<br />
The three-storey 1990s<br />
beachside property was<br />
damaged in the <strong>February</strong> 22,<br />
2011, earthquake.<br />
It is next door to the former<br />
Cave Rock apartments, built in<br />
1998.<br />
Both complexes were designed<br />
at the same time by the late<br />
Peter Beaven, but the Cave Rock<br />
apartments were demolished in<br />
2012.<br />
Body corporate chairman<br />
Damon Rutherford said the<br />
building at 20 Esplanade was<br />
built on a rock foundation,<br />
and “that’s why it’s still<br />
standing.”<br />
EQC and insurers paid<br />
out a multi-million dollar<br />
settlement, said Mr Rutherford,<br />
and it was now being completely<br />
refurbished, with a new<br />
roof, new windows and other<br />
work.<br />
“It will look like a brand new<br />
modern building.”<br />
Repairs started about six<br />
months ago with the building<br />
being raised as it had sunk<br />
REPAIRS: The building at<br />
20 Esplanade has been<br />
stripped. (Below) – How it<br />
looked prior to the repair<br />
work.<br />
into the ground.<br />
There are six apartments –<br />
three on the ground floor,<br />
two on the middle and one on<br />
top.<br />
All the original owners<br />
remain except for the top floor<br />
apartment, which has since been<br />
purchased by Mr Rutherford’s<br />
trust.<br />
Lower speed<br />
limit likely for<br />
Richmond Hill Rd<br />
PRECIPITOUS Richmond Hill<br />
Rd in Sumner could get a lowered<br />
speed limit of 40km/h as a new<br />
bylaw comes into effect.<br />
The city council is proposing to<br />
reduce speeds after “requests from<br />
the local community in relation<br />
to safety concerns in Richmond<br />
Hill.”<br />
The road is narrow with minimal<br />
footpaths and cars are often<br />
parked on the side of the road.<br />
Speed restrictions would<br />
apply from the intersection with<br />
Nayland St upwards.<br />
Speed advisory signs are also<br />
planned on the hairpin bends,<br />
likely to be between 15 and<br />
25km/h.<br />
The new Traffic and Parking<br />
Bylaw takes effect in March, allowing<br />
the city council to set and<br />
change speed limits on Christchurch<br />
roads – in accordance with<br />
Land Transport rules.<br />
However, there are no moves<br />
afoot to put in new footpaths or<br />
widen the road, due to lack of<br />

to 600g<br />
4 slices smokey bacon<br />
250g meadow mushrooms<br />
2 cloves crushed garlic<br />
2 Tbsp oyster sauce<br />
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped<br />
1 nutmeg, freshly grated<br />
1 to serve spinach, or a fresh<br />
spinach salad<br />
Directions<br />
Heat the grill to high.<br />
Lay the salmon on a shallow<br />
baking tray, season with<br />
freshly ground black pepper<br />
and top with two of the bacon<br />
slices.<br />
Place under the grill and grill<br />
for about 8min.<br />
The salmon should be slightly<br />
under cooked in the middle<br />

cooking a little after being<br />
removed from the heat source.<br />
Meanwhile, dice the remaining<br />
bacon slices and place in a frying<br />
pan over a high heat and pan-fry<br />
until crisp.<br />
Add the mushrooms and panfry<br />
until golden.<br />
Reduce the heat to medium,<br />
add the garlic and pan-fry for a<br />
further 30sec.<br />
In a small bowl, combine the<br />
oyster sauce with ¼ cup of hot<br />
water.<br />
Pour into the frying pan and<br />
blend well, stir through the<br />
parsley.<br />
Remove the salmon from the<br />
grill, remove the bacon and place<br />
on a warmed serving platter.<br />
Pour over the mushroom sauce<br />
and grate over a little nutmeg.<br />
Serve with wilted spinach or a<br />
fresh spinach salad.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />
6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream!<br />
9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton<br />
Auction: Wednesday, 21st March <strong>2018</strong>, 2pm<br />
4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834<br />
Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s<br />
finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has<br />
come to the market for the very first<br />
time. This sprawling home is as unique<br />
as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2<br />
bathrooms, media room, office, formal<br />
dining, formal living and massive garaging<br />
on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and<br />
opulent in its design, the owners wanted<br />
to create an authentic home where their<br />
family could simply relax, enjoy and soak<br />
in the peace and tranquillity of the land<br />
and location. If you have ever considered<br />
a property with large garaging you’ll know<br />
that very rarely does such an opportunity<br />
like this present itself. Whether you<br />
are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman,<br />
hobbyist, work from home, or just have<br />
the requirement for expansive garaging,<br />
this address is a must to inspect! Once this<br />
property has been sold, there are no others<br />
to replace it. With instructions to sell on or<br />
before auction day, what are you prepared<br />
to pay?<br />
Auction date: Wednesday 21st March,<br />
2pm at Russley Golf Club, 428 Memorial<br />
Avenue.<br />
