Removal<br />
of Rawhiti<br />
Domain<br />
trees a<br />
‘double<br />
standard’<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
THE REMOVAL of seven trees in<br />
Rawhiti Domain has been labelled<br />
a “double standard” following<br />
a request for an urgent safety<br />
audit of trees on the South New<br />
Brighton estuary edge.<br />
The Rawhiti Domain trees will<br />
be removed because of safety<br />
concerns.<br />
But Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board member Tim Sintes<br />
says the tree issue in South New<br />
Brighton needs urgent attention<br />
too.<br />
He says more than 30 trees on<br />
the estuary edge are at risk of falling<br />
at any time. The community<br />
board requested an urgent safety<br />
audit at the beginning of last<br />
month.<br />
The city council has previously<br />
told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> the South New<br />
Brighton trees were being monitored<br />
over the past six weeks. A<br />
fallen tree on the beach had been<br />
removed, along with eight pine<br />
trees near the boundary fence of<br />
the camping ground.<br />

Pressure builds to add 50m pool<br />
• By Sophie Cornish<br />
FEARS THAT the new QE II<br />
Recreation and Sport Centre<br />
will not meet the demands of<br />
the community are increasing<br />
pressure to add a 50m pool to<br />
the facility.<br />
The concerns are that the<br />
current 25m pool will not<br />
cater for the<br />
large variety of<br />
users, including<br />
students from<br />
the Shirley<br />
Boys’ High and<br />
Avonside Girls’<br />
High campus at<br />
Linda<br />
Stewart<br />
QE II Park.<br />
“It is never<br />
going to be able<br />
to service the local community<br />
as well as two high schools, local<br />
primary schools and sporting<br />
groups . . . the former facilities<br />
were used by people all over<br />
Christchurch, not just the east,”<br />
said Christchurch Concerned<br />
Citizens Group members<br />
Jacqui Herron and Craig<br />
MacKay.<br />
Said a spokeswoman from the<br />
Keep QE II in the East group:<br />
“We are concerned not everyone<br />
in our community will get a fair<br />
opportunity to use it.”<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
UPGRADE: There is increasing pressure to add a 50m pool<br />
at the QE II Recreation and Sport Centre to meet the needs of<br />
the community.<br />
Board member Linda Stewart<br />
said there would “undoubtedly”<br />
be congestion in the new 25m<br />
pool.<br />
“I would almost bet a lot of<br />
money on it,” she said.<br />
However, city council<br />
manager operations recreation<br />
and sports unit, Nigel Cox,<br />
said the facility’s placement<br />
“provides space to the north<br />
and east of the new facility’s<br />
pool hall for an expansion. The<br />
provision of an expansion zone<br />
is common place in facility<br />
planning. However, there was no<br />
specific expansion in mind that<br />
informed this decision.”<br />
The $38.6 million pool facility<br />
is set to open for Queen’s<br />
Birthday weekend.<br />
Following a recent site visit,<br />
the community board was told<br />
by contractor, Apollo Projects,<br />
that adding a 50m pool would<br />
cost an estimated $15-20<br />
million.<br />
Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />
councillor David East said<br />
increasing the pool size to 50m,<br />
which is the Olympic standard,<br />
as well as adding seating and a<br />
dive well could cost almost $50<br />
million.<br />
The facility’s plans were<br />
designed with a “room to grow”<br />
concept, said Ms Stewart.<br />
Pressure is mounting around<br />
the idea, as the city council’s<br />
draft Long Term Plan will be<br />
finalised in June.<br />
Ms Stewart said if the pool is<br />
not included in the plan, there<br />
will not be the option to include<br />
it until 2028.<br />
However, Mr Cox said:<br />
“The city council provides<br />
an opportunity to update<br />
the existing LTP through the<br />
Annual Plan process that<br />
operates yearly,” he said.<br />
A 50m competition-sized<br />
pool is planned for the $300<br />
million central city Metro<br />
Sports Facility, which Greater<br />
Christchurch Regeneration<br />
Minister Megan Woods<br />
brought to a standstill last year<br />
following a $75 million budget<br />
blowout.<br />

SCHOOL AND HALL FUTURE<br />
The city council and Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board<br />
have successfully requested the<br />
Ministry of Education delay its<br />
decision on the future of the<br />
Central New Brighton School site<br />
and Roy Stokes Hall until the end<br />
of July. City council staff are now<br />
working with the New Brighton<br />
Community Hall Trust to form a<br />
business plan on the feasibility of<br />
owning and managing parts of the<br />
school site.<br />
PLAYGROUND TO CLOSE<br />
The new seaside playground in<br />
New Brighton will be closed for<br />
about a month from either May<br />
or June. It will allow Development<br />
Christchurch to make additional<br />
improvements to the playground<br />
and install artwork.<br />
WALK AROUND QE II PARK<br />
The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board wants the community to<br />
have a say on the development<br />
of the QE II Park master plan.<br />
The board is offering a guided<br />
walk around the park on <strong>March</strong><br />
25. There will be an update on<br />
the new recreation and sports<br />
centre, the school campus and<br />
the Christchurch School of<br />
Gymnastics rebuild. The walk will<br />
start at the north end of QE II Park<br />

Schools<br />
shouted trip<br />
to the zoo<br />
NINE EAST Christchurch<br />
schools will be given the<br />
opportunity to participate in<br />
education programmes at Orana<br />
Wildlife Park.<br />
As part of The Warehouse<br />
Zoofari, more than $<strong>13</strong>0,000 has<br />
been raised to enable 5000 pupils<br />
from 41 decile 1-3 schools to go<br />
on the ‘zoofari’.<br />
Said Orana Wildlife Park education<br />
manager Toby Johnson:<br />
“Zoos in each region are collaborating<br />
to host the school students<br />
and give them the learning<br />
opportunity that many would<br />
otherwise miss out on without<br />
The Warehouse.”<br />
The Warehouse general manager<br />
community relations Shari<br />
French said visiting the zoo is a<br />
quintessential part of childhood<br />
for many children, but for some<br />
families it is sometimes not possible.<br />
The eastern school taking<br />
part in ‘zoofari’ include Rawhiti<br />
School, Shirley Primary School,<br />
St James School, Haeata Community<br />
Campus, Linwood<br />
North School, Christchurch East<br />

Church restores former club<br />
THE FORMER St Albans<br />
Shirley Club has been extensively<br />
renovated to become a new<br />
church and community centre.<br />
The building was opened on<br />
Saturday at a launch event, with<br />
a free lunch and entertainment,<br />
including children’s games, a<br />
bouncy castle and a performance<br />
from the New Brighton Brass<br />
Band.<br />
The building on Hills Rd will<br />
now be home to the Eastside<br />
C3 Church and a variety of<br />
community groups, including<br />
the St Albans Shirley Club,<br />
Fevah Modern Jive, Silhouette<br />
Studios NZ, Toddlerock Shirley/<br />
St Albans, and Moveable Feasts.<br />
The C3 Church Christchurch<br />
purchased the 1.6ha property<br />
and the building off the St<br />
Albans Shirley Club in 2016.<br />
The church’s senior pastor<br />
Paul Julian said the church<br />
aims to contribute to the local<br />
community.<br />
AFTER SIX months of<br />
preparation, the Zonta Club of<br />
Christchurch South is set to hold<br />
its annual summer garage sale<br />
on Saturday.<br />
Children’s toys, preserves,<br />
furniture, ornaments, linen,<br />
“This new building is one of<br />
the ways we are doing that. There<br />
are some amazing community<br />
groups who use the space<br />
during the week, as well as our<br />
crockery, paintings, and books<br />
were among the items on offer.<br />
The money raised will be<br />
distributed to the club’s chosen<br />
charities. Recently it donated<br />
money for furnishings at the<br />
new City Mission women’s night<br />
regular church services. We’ve<br />
been pretty overwhelmed with<br />
the amount of bookings so we’re<br />
definitely filling a need. It’s<br />
a pretty versatile space so we<br />
shelter “We have a number of<br />
very worthwhile charities which<br />
we support and it is incredibly<br />
satisfying to be able to make<br />
substantial donations to these<br />
groups,” said club president<br />
Margaret Currie.<br />

Tree removal a ‘double standard’<br />
•From page 1<br />
However, Mr Sintes said the<br />
real problem is the trees on the<br />
estuary edge.<br />
“It is a total inconsistency, as<br />
there has been no motion from<br />
city council to remove trees on<br />
the estuary edge, which pose<br />
equally as much of a safety risk,”<br />
he said.<br />
“The walking track in South<br />
New Brighton would get a lot<br />
more people than the Rawhiti<br />
Domain one would . . . if you use<br />
the same criteria that they have<br />
used in the Rawhiti Domain on<br />
the estuary edge, well<br />
there shouldn’t be any trees left<br />
there.”<br />
Mr Sintes said the work<br />
“reeks of a double standard”<br />
and believes it may be due to an<br />
agenda the city council has with<br />
the estuary edge.<br />
The city council wants to<br />
let the estuary edge erode<br />
naturally following damage to<br />
the erosion protection from the<br />
earthquakes. The community<br />
board wants to protect it in<br />
order to preserve as much of the<br />
domain as possible.<br />
“This (trees becoming<br />
damaged) is never going to stop<br />
on the estuary edge until they<br />
protect it,” Mr Sintes said.<br />
City council acting head<br />
of parks Kay Holder said on<br />
RISK: Tim Sintes wants the dangerous trees removed from the South New Brighton estuary<br />
edge.<br />

Thursday the estuary edge is<br />
monitored on a regular basis as<br />
the area is treated as a priority<br />
from a health and safety<br />
perspective.<br />
“As a result of this monitoring,<br />
we became aware of the fallen<br />
tree and tree stumps and had<br />
these removed as a priority.<br />
During those works a stand of<br />
dead pine and macrocarpa trees<br />
were identified as hazardous and<br />
have also been removed.<br />
“We will continue to monitor<br />
the area on a regular basis to<br />
ensure that any health and<br />
safety issues are dealt with<br />
appropriately,” she said.<br />
In Brief<br />
HOT POOL DESIGNS<br />
The latest revision of the design<br />
plans for the hot pools in New<br />
Brighton will be presented to the<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board on Monday. Development<br />
Christchurch will hold its fourth<br />
workshop with a community<br />
focus group on <strong>March</strong> 21, where<br />
it will present the design plans<br />
that will form part of the resource<br />
consent application. The plans<br />
will then be released to the wider<br />
community. A Development<br />
Christchurch spokesman said the<br />
designs will continue to evolve<br />
throughout the process.<br />
QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED<br />
The Coastal-Burwood<br />
Community Board has approved<br />
lowering the speed limit around<br />
Queenspark School. The new<br />
speed zone will be on Queenspark<br />
Drive and the limit will be<br />
changed from 50km/h to 40km/h.<br />
Electronic signs will be placed at<br />
the start of the school speed zone.<br />
NOT A FREEDOM CAMPER<br />
A photo on page 5 of <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />
last week said it was a freedom<br />
camper’s campsite. This was<br />
incorrect. It was a site belonging<br />
to a homeless person. The caption<br />
also said it was taken in South<br />
New Brighton. The location was<br />
in fact North Beach. <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

Growing the community<br />
New Brighton Community<br />
Garden secretary Hilary<br />
Wilson and garden<br />
manager Catherine O’Neil<br />
talk about the benefits<br />
of being involved in the<br />
project<br />
FOR MORE than 12 years a<br />
whole lot of people have put a<br />
whole lot of effort into making<br />
our community gardens the<br />
flourishing success that they<br />
now are. As well as growing<br />
vegetables, we pride ourselves on<br />
growing the community.<br />
What stands out? The diversity<br />
of vegetables and flowers, food<br />
for the body and food for the<br />
soul, and the diversity of volunteers,<br />
young and old, Kiwi and<br />
foreign, smiley and grumpy, all<br />
are warmly welcomed. The gardens<br />
are a place to meet new people,<br />
establish friendships, learn<br />
new skills, build confidence, and<br />
increase one’s sense of well-being<br />
and belonging. Knowledge is<br />
freely shared in many ways.<br />
What do we treasure? Our<br />
marvellous volunteers and staff,<br />
our supportive trust members,<br />
our very helpful funders and<br />
the on-going support from local<br />
businesses is very valuable. Our<br />
commitment to respecting and<br />
taking care of people and the<br />
environment is too.<br />
What do people say when<br />
they come in the gate? They<br />
say “wow.” And then “this is<br />
so peaceful, and yet also a hive<br />
of activity.” Recently from<br />
two French tourists we heard<br />
“c’est magnifique.” And from a<br />
German-speaking Swiss tourist<br />
– “wunderbar.” Particularly after<br />
the Christchurch earthquakes,<br />
visitors and volunteers found solace<br />
and comfort in the gardens.<br />
Gardening anywhere provides<br />
GREEN<br />
THUMBS:<br />
Catherine O’Neil<br />
(left) and Hilary<br />
Wilson take<br />
pride in their<br />
community<br />
garden.<br />
both physical and mental health<br />
benefits.<br />
What do people get out of it?<br />
You will almost certainly get<br />
your hands dirty. And you will<br />
probably go home with some<br />
yummy fresh vegetables. But<br />
also, and perhaps more importantly,<br />
you get a sense of belonging<br />
to the community, of contributing<br />
to a meaningful productive<br />
project, of working at literally the<br />
grassroots level to help make the<br />
world a better place. We are happily<br />
about as far from corporate<br />
culture as it’s possible to get.<br />
Growing your own food sustainably<br />
is a global movement. If<br />
you want to find a community<br />
garden near you, go to the Canterbury<br />
Community Gardens<br />
Association website at<br />

Readers respond to the<br />
Christchurch School of<br />
Gymnastics receiving<br />
$900,000 from the city<br />
council for the rebuild of<br />
its new facility<br />
Margaret Nicholas –<br />
Why should a gym which is<br />
basically a club, and which<br />
has had large amounts of<br />
money from city council in<br />
the past, get so much more<br />
than other grassroots sports,<br />
or ones which keep more<br />
youth active?<br />
Bill Palmer – Good idea,<br />
problem is no one can get<br />
there unless they’ve got a<br />
four-wheel-drive because of<br />
the neglected roads in the<br />
east, again I say city council<br />
get your priorities in order<br />
first.<br />
Ryan Bailey – Surely<br />
when a sports club has<br />
received so much from city<br />
council already, shouldn’t the<br />
money go to other smaller<br />
struggling sports/community<br />
clubs. It would make a<br />
massive difference to help<br />
smaller sports clubs grow.<br />
Readers respond to<br />
the increasing number<br />
of freedom campers<br />
in North New Brighton,<br />
including one who<br />
cleaned her underwear<br />
in a drinking fountain<br />
Cathryn Lucy – They<br />
aren’t good for local<br />
businesses. They cost more<br />
than they’re worth, make the<br />
area less appealing for other<br />
visitors who actually spend<br />
money and can plan a trip<br />
properly, and their goal is to<br />
do everything as cheap as<br />
possible.<br />
Maybe the supermarket<br />
might get a tad more money.<br />
These ones certainly don’t<br />
seem to want to spend money<br />
at a cheap laundromat.<br />
Go to a camp site or<br />
be self-contained, which<br />
means taking your rubbish,<br />
belongings, (and your poo<br />
instead of leaving it next to<br />
schools) with you, and<br />
leaving where you stayed<br />
in the condition you found<br />
it.<br />

Christie<br />
named young<br />
sportsman<br />
of the year<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
FORMER SHIRLEY Boys’<br />
High first XV captain Tom<br />
Christie was named AECOM<br />
outstanding young sportsman<br />
of the year at the Nexia New<br />
Zealand Canterbury Sports<br />
Awards on Friday night.<br />
He was up against basketballer<br />
Quinn Clinton, golfer Tom<br />
Parker and rower<br />
Ben Taylor.<br />
Christie, who<br />
plays flanker, made<br />
his debut for Canterbury<br />
last year<br />
Tom<br />
Christie<br />
and was part of the<br />
World Cup winning<br />
under-20 New Zealand<br />
squad.<br />
In 2015, he famously captained<br />
Shirley to the UC Championship<br />
final against St Bede’s, which<br />
they lost.<br />
The awards honour sporting<br />
excellence as well as the invaluable<br />
contribution of dedicated<br />
coaches, administrators, officials<br />
and volunteers.<br />
“As a region, Canterbury has<br />
access to world-class coaching<br />
and an exceptional sports club<br />
system,” Sport Canterbury chief<br />
executive Julyan Falloon said.<br />
The awards were held at the<br />
Air Force Museum of New<br />
Zealand.<br />
More than <strong>13</strong>0 nominations<br />
were received for the awards<br />
across 30 sporting codes.<br />
Schools count down to Maadi Cup<br />
Six days out from the biggest school rowing event of<br />
the year, Andrew King looks at how some of the crews<br />
might fare at Maadi Cup which starts on Monday at Lake<br />
Ruataniwha, Twizel<br />
Shirley Boys’ High had a tough<br />
start to the rowing season after<br />
a 30m poplar tree fell into the<br />
Avon River just as the under-15<br />
crew of Reuben Bannon, Finley<br />
Ocheduszko Brown, Cameron<br />
Maughan, Liam Whitaker and<br />
David Brown rowed underneath<br />
it in January.<br />
At the South Island secondary<br />
school rowing champs earlier<br />
this month, Maughan along<br />
with Lucas MacDonald (stroke),<br />
Brodie Barsby, Jack Hearn,<br />
Cameron McConchie, Brayden<br />
Keep, Elliot Stanley, Matthew<br />
Sudlow and Joel Coleman (cox)<br />
won gold in the under-15 eights.<br />
The school also had success in<br />
the under-16 single sculls with<br />
Scott Shackleton winning gold.<br />
Now they turn their attention<br />
to the Maadi Cup which starts<br />
on Monday and runs through<br />
the week at Lake Ruataniwha,<br />
Twizel.<br />
Head of rowing Rob Wilson-<br />
Pyne said it is all about building<br />
a diverse squad with a variety of<br />
different rowers.<br />
“Everyone is working very<br />
hard in training and we have just<br />
completed our seat racing to get<br />
placing for boats,” he said.<br />
“We have got good depth<br />
in the squad and some strong<br />
rowers who should do well.”<br />
He would not identify any<br />
individuals to look out for,<br />
saying every rower goes out there<br />
with a team mindset.<br />
“There are no individuals, it<br />
is all about the squad. We have<br />
the philosophy that any boat<br />
that makes a final is representing<br />
every kid involved,” he said.<br />
The school is in a building<br />
phase and is looking to have<br />
a strong under-18 eights<br />
competing at the Maadi Cup in<br />
the near future.<br />
“We are looking at 2019-2020<br />
to target that under-18 eights<br />
race,” he said.<br />
They are also keeping an eye<br />
on the competition up north.<br />
“We always have a look at the<br />
cousins up north; don’t know<br />
what they feed them up there,<br />
but they always set fast times.<br />
And that is what it is all about,<br />
the best in the country coming<br />
together and seeing where we<br />
stand. It’s an opportunity and a<br />
challenge for us,” he said.<br />

New Brighton players help revamp clubrooms<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
NEW BRIGHTON Rugby club<br />
players will start the season off<br />
with newly renovated clubrooms.<br />
Members of the club and the<br />
community have been busy<br />
fixing up the clubrooms on<br />
Rawhiti Ave.<br />
Division one captain Reuben<br />
Spicer, who is studying sports<br />
leadership at Canterbury<br />
University, had to write a paper<br />
for his course on sponsorship<br />
and decided fixing up the old<br />
clubrooms would be a great way<br />
to put theory into practice.<br />
The idea had been floated<br />
around the club for a while as the<br />
clubrooms were starting to look a<br />
bit run down.<br />
But from Spicer’s paper the idea<br />
snowballed and work started in<br />
August last year.<br />
Rugby development officer<br />
Roddy Butt said Spicer, who<br />
plays halfback, thought it would<br />
also be a good way for the squad<br />
to bond ahead of the upcoming<br />
competition.<br />
Lock Ben Nelson, a builder<br />
by trade, said there had been so<br />
much support from the local<br />
community.<br />
Not only have they managed to<br />
renovate the division one shed,<br />
but the majority of the club’s<br />
buildings have also been done<br />
PRIDE: Progress is being made on fixing up the New Brighton rugby clubrooms, which are set to be ready for the upcoming<br />
season.<br />
up, including the referee’s and<br />
physio’s rooms.<br />
Builder Matthew Burleigh,<br />
brother of Scotland international<br />
and former New Brighton<br />
midfielder Phil Burleigh, and<br />
plumber Henare Faithful have<br />
also put a lot of work into the<br />
buildings.<br />
Nelson has donated about 450<br />
hours himself, and Burleigh and<br />
Faithful are not far behind.<br />
“Most of the materials we have<br />
used have been donated. So we<br />
have been able to get between<br />
$15,000 to $20,000 worth of<br />
materials for about $200, which is<br />
amazing,” Nelson said.<br />
“It really shows how good<br />
the club is and how great the<br />
community is to get behind this.”<br />
Nelson, who was born and<br />
bred in Minnesota, United States,<br />
came to the club in 20<strong>13</strong> to “ply<br />
his trade in rugby”.<br />
Now he has residency and said<br />
he will play for the club for as<br />
long as he can.<br />
“We want to be one of the best<br />
recruiting clubs in the city and by<br />
doing up our sheds it sends the<br />
right message,” he said.

What began life as a 1950s bungalow was<br />
transformed in the 1970s when architecture<br />
in Christchurch was breaking from the<br />
constraints and traditions of the past to<br />
create what is now a truly unique home.<br />
What we have today is an avant-garde<br />
home nestled into the sunny slopes above<br />
Redcliffs. Not only does it bask in sunshine<br />
it enjoys uninterrupted views across the<br />
estuary and up the coastline. The magic of<br />
the setting reflects the magic to be found<br />
indoors. On 3 levels it provides space for<br />
everyone and everything. The main central<br />
floor comprises the entry from the carport<br />
at the front door, open plan kitchen dining<br />
and living, a study/play area, 2 double<br />
bed-rooms which open to a spacious deck<br />
area and a state of the art bathroom. Stairs<br />
descend to a rumpus room/studio which<br />
opens to a paved patio area giving access to<br />
a landscaped contemporary hillside garden.<br />
The upper level provides the main suite<br />
comprising bedroom, en suite and dressing<br />
room and expansive open living space with<br />
floor to ceiling windows. This home exudes<br />
contemporary style with an industrial<br />
minimalist theme.<br />
Open homes Sundays 1.45pm-2.30pm<br />
and Thursdays 7.30pm-8pm.<br />
