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

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

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

Peninsula heritage buildings
The Little River Coronation
Library building has an estimated
minimum restoration cost
of $750,000 – however, this
figure is based on preliminary
investigations rather than
engineering costs, according to a
city council report.
The library was built to mark
the coronation of King George
V. It was opened in 1913, and it
remained in use as a library until
2000.
The former Kukupa School
building in Pigeon Bay – which
is a listed Heritage New Zealand
building – operated from 1878
until 1949. In 1951 it opened as
the Youth Hostel Association’s
first stand-alone hostel in New
Zealand.
Akaroa’s Yew Cottage is another
well-known landmark in need
of restoration. Built of locally
milled timber in 1877, it provides
a record of the lifestyle of early
colonial settlers.
Both properties are estimated
to cost around $250,000 each to
restore.
The city council said it welcomed
all “workable” proposals, including
those from commercial businesses,
community groups or charitable
trusts.

HISTORIC: The former
Lyttelton Borough Council
stables were converted to
garages in 1939, the year
horses were replaced by
motor vehicles (right). In 1951
the Youth Hostel Association
opened its first ever standalone
hostel in the former
Kukupa School, Pigeon Bay.
The hostel remained open for
40 years (below).

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

ST ANNE’S School has welcomed seven new
pupils to its school recently.
The school has a science focus this term
and the new entrant class has been doing a
lot of learning about mixing, melting and
dissolving.
The pupils have made a lot of mixtures and
then separated them with a sieve.
When they melted ice they discovered
they could melt it quickly in their mouths
and when they melted sugar it turned into
toffee.

to do well [at Maadi],” she said.
“We have 15 rowers
representing us, mostly in
smaller boats. We don’t have

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

Held in Scarborough,
athletes had a 350m swim
followed by a 9km bike ride
and finishing with a 3km
run.
Morgan (right) completed
the race in a time
of 38min 08.2sec, more
than a second faster than
Christchurch Girls’ High’s Paris
Carroll (39min 14.9sec) and Ngaio
Shaw (40min 50.9sec).
The under-16 team, made up
of Henry Clatworthy, Charlie
Hazlett and Thomas MacGibbon,

of 32min 34.4sec ahead
of St Andrew’s College
under-16A (33min
36.4sec) and Geraldine
Boys’ (34min 33.9sec).
Head of triathlon ​
David Tuia said it was
good to see the young
athletes coming through
but more events were
needed.
“We want to keep the
momentum. We need to
get more [events] going to help the
sport grow. If we get more events,
we will see these kids really explode,”
he said.

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