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 and 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.

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

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.
•From page 1
Joan was just 14 when she first
spotted Ray walking through
Cass Square in Hokitika and
thought to herself “there’s a nice
looking chap.”
At 18, they became engaged
and when Ray bought a section
in Kaniere Rd in Hokitika two
years later, he started to build
them a house.
In 1948, when they were both
21, they travelled by train over
the mountains to Christchurch
and were married at St Giles
Presbyterian Church on Papanui
Rd, with just a bridesmaid and
best man as witnesses.
Joan wore an ice-blue dress
and Ray a brown, double-breasted
pin stripe suite.
Over the next three years, their
children, Shirley and Graeme,
were born and Ray started work
as an apprentice joiner with R.W.
Ross in Hokitika.
Upon shifting to Christchurch
in 1957, Ray worked as a maintenance
carpenter at Sunnyside
Hospital where Joan was employed
as a nurse.
After living in Hoon Hay,
Avonhead, Cashmere and St
Martins, they moved to an
apartment at Cashmere View
Retirement Village last year
where they enjoy the village environment,
river walks, and visits
from their six grandchildren
and six great-grandchildren.
Daughter Shirley Eddington
said the morning tea was a lovely
occasion.
“They all enjoyed it and
they’ve kept talking about it ever
since.”

Rubbish problems ease off
• By Sarla Donovan
THE DELUGE of rubbish in
Sumner has eased since school
holidays ended.
The Sumner Community
Residents’ Association met with
city council staff and Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board member Darrell Latham
to discuss
maintenance of
Sumner’s public
spaces, including
concerns around
the frequency of
rubbish bins being

Latham
emptied in Sumner
and Taylors
Mistake.
After being
emptied twice a day following
publicity around overflowing
bins, the city council has returned
to once a day and twice on weekends,
plus an additional emptying
at night.
City council head of parks
Brent Smith said the rationalisation
of contracts for the removal
of rubbish in Sumner was still
being considered, and the installation
of larger bins and smart
bins was under review.
Currently Sumner has rubbish
contracts operated by different
contractors for the beach
(these come under the parks
contract) and for the village
(these come under transport).
“We await further information
about these contracts and
if, how and when they will be
rationalised. We are wanting
to develop a strategy towards a
suburb-wide solution, not just a
beach solution,” said Mr Smith.
Having several wheelie bins
strapped together at key points
on the Esplanade to cope with
heavy usage periods was also
discussed at the meeting.
Dr Latham, who organised
and chaired the meeting, said it
had been very positive.
“Issues were addressed with
a view to putting into place

The patrol car will be on display

The group’s main goal is to keep
the community safe, patrolling
from Halswell to Ferrymead.
But it also helps with security at
major events at Addington Raceway,
Horncastle Arena and AMI
Stadium by patrolling the car
parks and surrounding streets.
During the Port Hills fire and
the recent fires in West Melton,
the patrol was called on to assist
with traffic control and secure
properties.
The patrol also supports the city
council by recording incidents
of graffiti and litter so it can be
removed as quickly as possible.

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.
Another benefit of the Linwood
Park site is its proximity
to Eastgate Shopping Centre.
There is also a major cycleway
next to the site and room for the
facility to grow. Further possible
locations 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

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.
Council city services project
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.”

were removed from a Woolston
drain using a similar electric

“It’s just been left to ruins.”
Cr Johanson, supported by

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

Radley St, had been particularly
problematic.
“In my view there’s a complete
lack of maintenance.”
Cr Johanson said it was a
lovely part of the city, but it
was not being looked after as it
should be.
At its recent meeting, the
board also asked that a master
plan for the area be developed,
like there was for other sections
of the river.
It would give guidance for
the long term management and
enhancement of the lower part of
the river.
It also requested information
on what landscaping would
take place after the dredging
of the Woolston Cut had
finished.
Meanwhile, the city council
will decide at its meeting on

It said a school safety zone is in
operation in the area, so speeds

crossing is getting high use.
The Banks Peninsula

supported the alternative design,
which will be implemented this
year.
The other changes include two
existing bus stops on Winchester
and Oxford Sts being replaced
by one, located about 50m
further north along Oxford St;
a new bus stop seat; extending
current time-restricted p3 and
p120 parking outside Lyttelton

the no-stopping area on Oxford

Work is programmed for
April/May and will cost about
$60,000.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Landmark to be repaired by June
• By Sarla Donovan
A LANDMARK apartment
building opposite Sumner beach
is set to be fully repaired by
June.
The three-storey 1990s
beachside property was
damaged in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
It is next door to the former
Cave Rock apartments, built in
1998.
Both complexes were designed
at the same time by the late
Peter Beaven, but the Cave Rock
apartments were demolished in
2012.
Body corporate chairman
Damon Rutherford said the
building at 20 Esplanade was
built on a rock foundation,
and “that’s why it’s still
standing.”
EQC and insurers paid
out a multi-million dollar
settlement, said Mr Rutherford,
and it was now being completely
refurbished, with a new
roof, new windows and other
work.
“It will look like a brand new
modern building.”
Repairs started about six
months ago with the building
being raised as it had sunk
REPAIRS: The building at
20 Esplanade has been

looked prior to the repair
work.
into the ground.
There are six apartments –
three on the ground floor,
two on the middle and one on
top.
All the original owners
remain except for the top floor
apartment, which has since been
purchased by Mr Rutherford’s
trust.
Lower speed
limit likely for
Richmond Hill Rd
PRECIPITOUS Richmond Hill
Rd in Sumner could get a lowered
speed limit of 40km/h as a new
bylaw comes into effect.
The city council is proposing to
reduce speeds after “requests from
the local community in relation
to safety concerns in Richmond
Hill.”
The road is narrow with minimal
footpaths and cars are often
parked on the side of the road.
Speed restrictions would
apply from the intersection with
Nayland St upwards.
Speed advisory signs are also
planned on the hairpin bends,
likely to be between 15 and
25km/h.
The new Traffic and Parking
Bylaw takes effect in March, allowing
the city council to set and
change speed limits on Christchurch
roads – in accordance with
Land Transport rules.
However, there are no moves
afoot to put in new footpaths or
widen the road, due to lack of
funding and space.

proposed changes before

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
to pay?
