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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

NEW: The Spreydon Fire Station is part of the $50 million Greater Christchurch Rebuild<br />

programme.<br />

Spreydon’s new $5m<br />

fire station opened<br />

THE FIRST permanently staffed<br />

fire station to be built since the<br />

<strong>February</strong> 22, 2011, earthquake<br />

has been opened in Spreydon.<br />

Minister of Internal Affairs<br />

Tracey Martin opened the $5<br />

Saturday.<br />

It is the first permanently<br />

staffed station to be completed as<br />

part of the $50 million Greater<br />

The programme will see<br />

Christchurch’s network of 12 fire<br />

stations renewed, repaired, or<br />

rebuilt following the <strong>February</strong><br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

The Simeon St station follows<br />

several volunteer stations that<br />

have already been completed<br />

including Rangiora, Lyttelton,<br />

and Southbridge.<br />

It has two appliance bays and<br />

accommodation for six firefighters.<br />

Other features include a gymnasium,<br />

decontamination wash<br />

and storage facilities, a vehicle<br />

fume management system, and a<br />

meeting room designed for community<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 />

Now<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />
