Wednesday March 21 2018 News Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR Local News Now PAGE 13 Fire rages, homes at risk Jetty ready to face another century Community restores part of history A 107-YEAR-OLD jetty is primed for another century of service at Takamatua Bay. Supported by the city council, local residents have driven a major repair project to save one of the region’s oldest jetties for future generations. The Takamatua Ratepayers’ Association pooled member resources to rebuild the earthquake-damaged structure, aided by the city council’s Banks Peninsula and Port Hills head ranger Paul Devlin and engineer Paul Ferguson. Association chairman Kevin Simcock said the restoration of the jetty was a communityfocused project. Local residents put in many long hours, volunteering their time and expertise to save the jetty. “This project has proven that city council-community partnerships are an excellent way of enhancing community assets while building community spirit,” Mr Simcock said. Mr Devlin said the city council simply empowered the local community to work on the jetty themselves, supporting the project with materials, and oversight of health and safety and design. “It has been a brilliant outcome, both for the Takamatua community and the city council,” Mr Devlin said. The jetty was built in 1910 to ferry cheese from the German Bay (Takamatua) Cheese Co-op to Akaroa and further afield. Initially called German Bay to RESTORED: The Takamatua jetty has been rebuilt.

It originally cost £175 to build. For Akaroa resident Jan Shuttleworth, the recent reopening marked a special day in his family’s history. His grandfather George Armstrong delivered a speech at the opening of the jetty on December 20, 1910. “My grandfather was mayor of Akaroa for 23 years, and also on the cheese co-operative’s board,” Mr Shuttleworth said. “The jetty was built by a local builder to provide a shipping service from the bay to Akaroa and beyond as the co-op had about 15 suppliers, and quite a big volume of cheese was being produced. A cutter, the Deveron, left with the first cargo, consisting of 187 cases of cheese, 136 loose cheese and 18 bales of wool.” LiQuiD LaunDRoMatS 289 CoLoMBo St, SyDenhaM (next to SuShi Shop) 713 FeRRy RD, WooLSton 7 DayS: 5am-11pm WaSh & DRy aLL youR LaunDRy in aBout 1 houR $4.00 WaSh $4.00 DRy Wash 2 Mink Blankets, Duvets or Woolrests for only $8 DRy up to 3 LoaDS in onLy 25 MinuteS! $4 Save tiMe & eLeCtRiCity • Fast Dryers • Sports Gear • Duvets • Mink Blankets • Bedding • Washers • Domestic Laundry SeLF SeRviCe other Locations: 47 Carmen Road, Hornby • 319 Pages Rd, Aranui • 345 Stanmore Rd, Richmond • 261 Burwood Rd, Burwood • 17 Halswell Rd, Hoon Hay www.liquidlaundromats.co.nz Christchurch Showroom 13b Parkhouse Rd, Wigram Massive stock clearance - End of lines, Display models T021 Extra Height $439 T005 $249 Freestanding Baths From $999 What’s important for Christchurch over the next 10 years?
