Push to get pathway funding<br />

• By Sarla Donovan<br />

THE COASTAL pathway has<br />

been put into the city council’s<br />

draft Long Term Plan.<br />

Heathcote Ward city<br />

councillor Sara Templeton<br />

last week pushed through an<br />

amendment to the draft LTP to<br />

try and prioritise what she said<br />

was a “key piece of community<br />

infrastructure.”<br />

The fourth<br />

and final<br />

stage of the<br />

Christchurch<br />

Coastal<br />

Pathway<br />

between the<br />

Sara<br />

Templeton<br />

Moncks <strong>Bay</strong><br />

tram stop<br />

and Shag<br />

Rock corner<br />

– expected to cost between<br />

$10 million and $12 million –<br />

currently has no funding.<br />

The pathway is being jointly<br />

funded by the city council and<br />

the Coastal Pathway Group.<br />

The third section from Shag<br />

Rock to the Sumner Surf Life<br />

Saving Club has funding and<br />

an anticipated start date of<br />

April.<br />

However, there is no money<br />

at present for the final section.<br />

Ms Templeton’s amendment<br />

means a report with an<br />

estimate of the costs for the<br />

section and a time frame for<br />

delivery will be included in<br />

the draft Long Term Plan and<br />

the community will be able to<br />

make submissions on it.<br />

There was a lack of<br />

understanding about the<br />

coastal pathway, with some<br />

city councillors viewing it as<br />

purely a “recreational nice-tohave,”<br />

she said.<br />

“This report, and<br />

community submissions, will<br />

enable the project to have the<br />

best chance at 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 not replaced.<br />

Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> pathway<br />

is currently a “dangerous<br />

informal path” with a drop<br />

down to the rock or sea below.<br />

“Footpaths are a core council<br />

function, but this section is<br />

currently not funded at all,”<br />

she said.<br />

SHORTFALL: The Moncks<br />

<strong>Bay</strong> section of the coastal<br />

pathway has no funding at<br />

present.<br />

VOLUNTEER RESIGNS<br />

Long time Lyttelton Information<br />

Centre volunteer Wendy<br />

Everingham has resigned after<br />

15 years service, including 12 as<br />

chairwoman. Ms Everingham<br />

said she had been there a long<br />

time and the centre was ready<br />

for “some new energy.” Her<br />

involvement in community<br />

initiatives including the<br />

Timebank, Project Lyttelton<br />

and the Lyttelton Reserve<br />

Management Committee will be<br />

ongoing.<br />

HARMANS TRACK SIGNAGE<br />

Signage on Harmans Track will<br />

be reviewed after community<br />

concerns it is being used by<br />

unsuitable vehicles. The rough,<br />

four-wheel-drive track provides<br />

an alternative route to SH75 from<br />

Cooptown to the Hilltop Tavern,<br />

but it is unsealed, narrow and<br />

winding. The Banks Peninsula<br />

Community Board has asked the<br />

city council to review signage at<br />

either end and ensure signs make<br />

travellers aware the route is not<br />

suitable for non-4WD vehicles.<br />

SHUTTLE MEETING<br />

A community meeting to discuss<br />

the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> shuttle<br />

project will be held on Tuesday<br />

at 7pm in the Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

Community Hall.<br />
