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 />

HOON HAY COURT LIGHTS<br />
The Spreydon-Cashmere<br />
Community Board will<br />
recommend to the city council<br />
that lights are installed at the<br />
Hoon Hay Park basketball<br />
court on Mathers Rd. The<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 />
Cornelius O’Connor Reserve,<br />
Addington. The deadline for<br />
the tenders was <strong>February</strong> 7. The<br />
evaluation process to determine<br />
the successful tenderer is being<br />
worked through by the city<br />
council.<br />

to resolve.<br />
