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 Pegasus Post 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 />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
Rats on the rise in Sumner as<br />
cooler weather approaches<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
MORE RATS are being trapped<br />
in Sumner as autumn arrives.<br />
Predator Free Sumner coordinator<br />
Gabe Ross said they<br />
were starting to “haul them in,”<br />
with 23 caught in February.<br />
“The animals start to look<br />
for new sources of food, as the<br />
weather cools and the autumn<br />
bounty starts to disappear.”<br />
Esplanade resident Phil<br />
Loughnan has single-handedly<br />
SWEET TOOTH: This rat<br />
couldn’t resist the bait –<br />
Whittaker’s peanut chocolate.<br />
nabbed <strong>13</strong> rats at or near his<br />
home at the western end of<br />
Scarborough Beach.<br />
There were also five hedgehogs<br />
caught last month.<br />
It brings the total catch to 117<br />
since the programme started in<br />
October.<br />
Mr Ross said while the numbers<br />
might not seem that high<br />
– there are 178 traps in the area –<br />
“we are dealing with varying levels<br />
of enthusiasm and expertise<br />
in both trapping and reporting,<br />
so it is a good start.”<br />
Predator Free Sumner last year<br />
received a Kiwibank grant to<br />
subsidise 140 traps in the greater<br />
Sumner area, from Clifton Hill<br />
to Taylors Mistake.<br />
Co-ordinator Gabe Ross said<br />
the uptake in the community<br />
had been excellent.<br />
But educating people about<br />
keeping traps set all the time,<br />
how best to keep them baited<br />
and what baits to use was ongoing,<br />
he said.<br />
“It’s a learning process we’re all<br />
going through.”<br />
Trap numbers would have<br />
to increase if Sumner was to<br />
become predator free.<br />
PREDATORS: A ‘heatmap’ of catches since October – the red<br />
spots indicate areas where a lot of pests have been caught.<br />
He estimated a fifth of households<br />
would need to be actively<br />
trapping.<br />
“We’re well below that at present.<br />
If we were just to cover the<br />
valley floor, it would take about<br />
300 rat traps, evenly spaced. That<br />
would be a pretty great start.”<br />
The group is looking at funding<br />
and sponsorship opportunities to<br />
increase their trap stocks.<br />
They were also looking at<br />
holding a ‘build-your-own-trap’<br />
workshop.<br />
In the meantime, Mr Ross<br />
said people can get in touch for<br />
advice and information:<br />

Council seeks future use for Banks<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
IDEAS ARE being sought for<br />
the future use of four heritage<br />
buildings on Banks Peninsula.<br />
They are the Lyttelton Borough<br />
Council stables in Lyttelton; Yew<br />
Cottage in Akaroa; the Little<br />
River Coronation Library and<br />
Kukupa Hostel in Pigeon Bay.<br />
Individuals, groups and<br />
organisations interested in using<br />
or helping to fund the buildings’<br />
restoration have until <strong>March</strong><br />
29 to submit ideas to the city<br />
council.<br />
Most sustained damage in the<br />
September 2010, and February<br />
2011, Canterbury earthquakes<br />
and are yet to be repaired.<br />
“Unfortunately, we don’t have<br />
enough money right now to<br />
repair all our heritage buildings<br />
within the next few years, so<br />
we need to prioritise how these<br />
funds should be spent,’’ city<br />
council acting head of parks<br />
Brent Smith said.<br />
Lyttelton resident and former<br />
property manager at The<br />
Tannery, Ian Knewstubb, said<br />
the former stables should be<br />
retained and eventually restored,<br />
in spite of the cost.<br />
“My oath – there’s so little left.<br />
They don’t have to happen that<br />
fast. The main thing is to hold on<br />
to them.”<br />
He said the building should<br />
be made weather-tight and a<br />
working party should be set up.<br />
“In Italy, they just make sure<br />
nothing happens to the (old)<br />
buildings. If it takes 10, 20,<br />
30, 40 years – that’s what it<br />
takes. The major thing is to<br />
hold on to them and establish<br />
a working party to look at how<br />
to maintain them as they are,<br />
how to fund raise, and also to<br />
establish what purpose they<br />
should be put to.”<br />
The stables were built in<br />
1914 for councillors to lodge<br />
their steeds; the horses were<br />
replaced by motor vehicles<br />
in 1939.<br />
Estimates put the cost of<br />
restoration at around $2.2<br />
million.<br />
AT LEAST $750,000 TO RESTORE: The Little River Coronation Library building sits in the Awa-Iti<br />
Domain near the War Memorial Gates. <br />
LANDMARK: Yew Cottage is known by Akaroa locals as Jeannie’s<br />
Cottage in honour of long-term resident Jeannie Wendelborn.<br />

Peninsula heritage buildings<br />
The Little River Coronation<br />
Library building has an estimated<br />
minimum restoration cost<br />
of $750,000 – however, this<br />
figure is based on preliminary<br />
investigations rather than<br />
engineering costs, according to a<br />
city council report.<br />
The library was built to mark<br />
the coronation of King George<br />
V. It was opened in 19<strong>13</strong>, and it<br />
remained in use as a library until<br />
2000.<br />
The former Kukupa School<br />
building in Pigeon Bay – which<br />
is a listed Heritage New Zealand<br />
building – operated from 1878<br />
until 1949. In 1951 it opened as<br />
the Youth Hostel Association’s<br />
first stand-alone hostel in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Akaroa’s Yew Cottage is another<br />
well-known landmark in need<br />
of restoration. Built of locally<br />
milled timber in 1877, it provides<br />
a record of the lifestyle of early<br />
colonial settlers.<br />
Both properties are estimated<br />
to cost around $250,000 each to<br />
restore.<br />
The city council said it welcomed<br />
all “workable” proposals, including<br />
those from commercial businesses,<br />
community groups or charitable<br />
trusts.<br />

Tree removal ‘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 let<br />
the estuary edge erode naturally<br />
following damage to the erosion<br />
protection from the earthquakes.<br />
The community board wants to<br />
protect it in order to preserve as<br />
much of the 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 />
Thursday the estuary edge is<br />
monitored on a regular basis as<br />
RISK: Tim Sintes wants the dangerous trees removed from the<br />
South New Brighton estuary edge.<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 />
PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS<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 />
Science focus for<br />
new St Anne’s pupils<br />
ST ANNE’S School has welcomed seven new<br />
pupils to its school recently.<br />
The school has a science focus this term<br />
and the new entrant class has been doing a<br />
lot of learning about mixing, melting and<br />
dissolving.<br />
The pupils have made a lot of mixtures and<br />
then separated them with a sieve.<br />
When they melted ice they discovered<br />
they could melt it quickly in their mouths<br />
and when they melted sugar it turned into<br />
toffee.<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 />
CASHMERE HIGH has a<br />
number of rowers heading to the<br />
Maadi Cup.<br />
The team is looking forward<br />
to the challenge, head of rowing<br />
Kaitlyn Wylie said.<br />
“We have selected our Maadi<br />
team and they are looking<br />
forward to the event,” she said.<br />
At the South Island secondary<br />

squad earned<br />
three medals:<br />
Gold in the boys<br />

novice four and<br />
bronze in the girls novice four.<br />
“We are watching these crews,<br />
as well as the under-16 girls<br />
double and under-17 boys single,<br />
to do well [at Maadi],” she said.<br />
“We have 15 rowers<br />
representing us, mostly in<br />
smaller boats. We don’t have<br />
an eight and a majority of the<br />
rowers are novice so [we] have no<br />
previous title to defend.”<br />

Award for basketball official<br />
• By Andrew King<br />
PIONEER Basketball Club’s<br />
Matthew Bathurst<br />
won the Blackwells<br />
Holden outstanding<br />
official of the year at<br />
the Nexia New Zealand<br />
Canterbury Sports<br />
Awards.<br />
The 29-year-old was<br />
crowned the top referee<br />
in the National Basketball<br />
League last year and<br />
has been selected as an<br />
official for the upcoming<br />
Commonwealth Games in the<br />
Gold Coast next month.<br />
He was up against GymSports<br />
Toby Levine and hockey’s Gareth<br />
Greenfield.<br />
He said he was reminded of<br />
the award nomination midway<br />
through last week<br />
and he quickly got<br />
his suit dry-cleaned<br />
just in case.<br />
“It was quite a<br />
surprise to win,” he<br />
said.<br />
He said the award<br />
caught him so off<br />
guard, he didn’t have<br />
time to think of who<br />
he would thank for<br />
helping him get to<br />
where he is today.<br />
“I should have thanked Linda<br />
van Oosten, Karin Berryman<br />
and Stephanie Eldrid who were<br />
Matthew<br />
Bathurst<br />
some of my first mentors and<br />
taught me a lot about reffing,”<br />
he said.<br />
“Also former head of NZNBL<br />
referee’s Alan Godden who<br />
gave me my first opportunity<br />
at that level, BBNZ referee coordinator<br />
Melony Welleans and<br />
current head of referees at<br />
NZNBL Peter Rogers.”<br />
He will head for the Gold<br />
Coast on April 2 to prepare for<br />
the Commonwealth Games.<br />
“It is my biggest competition<br />
I have been to and I am looking<br />
forward to the challenge,” he<br />
said.<br />
“I will be based in Townsville<br />
then we meet in Brisbane for<br />
the finals.”<br />

followed by a 9km bike ride<br />
and finishing with a 3km<br />

than a second faster than<br />
Christchurch Girls’ High’s Paris<br />
Carroll (39min 14.9sec) and Ngaio<br />
Shaw (40min 50.9sec).<br />
The under-16 team, made up<br />

of St Andrew’s College<br />
under-16A (33min<br />
36.4sec) and Geraldine<br />
Boys’ (34min 33.9sec).<br />
Head of triathlon <br />
David Tuia said it was<br />
good to see the young<br />
athletes coming through<br />
but more events were<br />
needed.<br />
“We want to keep the<br />
momentum. We need to<br />
get more [events] going to help the<br />
sport grow. If we get more events,<br />
we will see these kids really explode,”<br />
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 />
