• By Sarla Donovan 

COCKLE NUMBERS in the 

Avon-Heathcote Estuary are in 

serious decline. 

A six-month study shows the 

population has fallen dramatically 

since a 2012 survey, from 

around 400 per sq m to between 

50 and 80 per sq m in some 

areas. 

Biological sciences student 

Stephanie Hampson has been researching 

the extent and impact 

of harvesting on the health and 

sustainability of estuary shellfish 

beds – an important feeding 

grounds for birds. 

The results suggest the current 

limit of 150 cockles per person 

per day is too high and needs to 

be reduced or even a ban put in 

place, Ms Hampson said. 

Auckland’s limit is 50 per person 

per day, which she believes 

would be more appropriate if 

harvesting is to continue.

FORMER BANKS Peninsula 

Community Board chairwoman 

Christine Wilson has died after a 

short illness. 

“Lyttelton has lost one of its

Ideas mooted for Godley House site 


Richard 

Suggate 

A PROJECT manager could 

help decide the future of the 

former Godley House site in 

Diamond Harbour. 

That’s the message from 

Diamond Harbour Community 

Association chairman Richard 

Suggate following a meeting 

with city council staff last week. 

The historic building was 

built in 1880 and used as a 

hotel, restaurant and conference 

centre from 1911 until the 

September 

4, 2010, 

earthquake. 

It suffered 

substantial 

damage in the 

February 22, 

2011, earthquake 

and was 

subsequently 

demolished. 

Since then the grounds have 

been used for outdoor concerts 

and other events. 

Mr Suggate said the community 

had been proposing ideas 

for the site since 2012 but not 

had any response from the city 

council. 

The issue was subsequently 

put aside while the Diamond 

Harbour Village Plan was being 

developed. 

“I’ve said we need someone 

to engage with us as to what we 

can put there. It’s a key site for 

the community and there’s a 

definite loss of facility.” 

He said the Dark Star Cafe adjacent 

to the site, which opened 

in December 2016, was on a 

temporary lease in a temporary 

building. 

“We need some permanent 

solutions and the best way is 

to assign a (city council) staff 

member and for that person to 

look at the ideas the community 

has for the site and then look 

at how that might be achieved 

either by the city council building 

something and leasing it 

out or a kind of public/private 

partnership.” 

A permanent cafe building

performance space and shifting 

the library from its current location 

beneath the community 

hall were all ideas that had been 

raised by residents, Mr Suggate 

said. 

He’s asked the city council to 

engage a staff member to talk to 

the community and put together 

a plan that can be considered 

by the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board.

A $10,000 grant has been made to 

the Sumner Theatre Group towards 

the cost of fitting out its new space 

in the Sumner Centre. The money 

comes from the Linwood-Central-

discretionary fund. It comes on top 

of a $100,000 grant from the NZ 

Lotteries Board. The money will be 

used to purchase and install stage 

curtains. The total theatre fit-out 

is estimated to cost $174,000. The

VILLAGE PLAN PROGRESS 

Getting disability access at the 

Diamond Harbour wharf and 

implementing traffic calming 

measures were two priorities 

identified by residents and business 

owners at a meeting with city 

council staff to discuss the village 

plan last week. 

TUNNEL WORKS 

Traffic using the Lyttelton Tunnel 

will be restricted to a single lane 

tomorrow night between 7-9pm 

and early Friday morning between 

3-7am. Motorists should expect 

some delays. The tunnel closure 

is due to NZTA’s installation of a 

new $28.7 million fire protection 

system, which is expected to be 

completed by December.

It won’t happen overnight: Creating 

wealth through New Zealand property 

by Heather Morris 

‘It won’t happen overnight…’ takes you through the process of getting started 

in property investment in New Zealand. Mike Pero and David Weusten step you 

through almost everything a successful property investor needs to know to succeed, 

from the basics of budgeting through to tips on selecting property, exercising due 

diligence and managing the buying process itself. They also cover managing debt 

and cash flow as these are critical elements to successful property management. 

Those who invest in property are often criticised in the media for being greedy, 

self-serving and a blight on the country. Yet without the people looking to create 

wealth for themselves through property investment, and providing the capital to 

house those who can’t or chose not to own their own property, it would be left to 

the government, local bodies or charitable organisations to provide rental housing 

resulting in higher taxes for all New Zealanders. Mike Pero and David Weusten offer 

the essential handbook to equip new property investors and provide reassurance 

to those already in the market. Although it won’t happen overnight with the wisdom 

and experience this book provides you can be assured it will happen! 

Rugby Rebel 

by Christopher Tobin 

Rugby Rebel investigates a sensational accusation made against brilliant All 

Black winger Duncan McGregor that he sold team secrets which cost the Original 

All Blacks their unbeaten record on the famous 1905 tour of Britain, France and 

the United States. What made it worse was that McGregor’s Accusers were some 

of his fellow All Blacks. But has his name been unfairly besmirched? This book 

tells McGregor’s ex¬traordinary and previously untold story. In doing so, it delves 

deeply into an explosive and controversial period in New Zealand rugby history, the 

early 1900s, when ‘shamateurism’ was rife and the sport was split apart by the 

emergence of rugby league. Rugby Rebel shatters myths, offers new insights and 

provides enough information for the reader to decide whether McGregor was hero, 

or as his deractors claimed, villain. 

The Leisure Seeker: 

Read the Book That Inspired 

the Movie 

by Michael Zadoorian 

Now a major motion picture starring Helen Mirren and Donald Sutherland. 

Ella and John have shared a wonderful life for more than sixty years. Now they’re 

on the run from their doctors and middle-aged children, who just want them to go 

gently into that undignified night of old age. In their trusty camper van, the pair 

embark on a forbidden vacation of rediscovery along Route 66. Though time is 

catching up with them, Ella is determined that together they’ll make it to their final 

destination for one more carefree day together, even if it is their last. 

Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me 

by Lily Collins 

International bestseller - In this groundbreaking debut essay collection, 

featuring never-before-seen photos, actress Lily Collins - star of Mortal 

Instruments and Rules Don’t Apply - is opening a poignant, honest 

conversation about the things young women struggle with: body image, selfconfidence, 

relationships, family, dating and so much more. 

For the first time ever, Lily shares her life and her own deepest secrets, 

proving that every single one of us experiences pain and heartbreak. We all 

understand what it’s like to live in the light and in the dark. For Lily, it’s about 

making it through to the other side, where you love what you see in the mirror 

and where you embrace yourself just as you are. She’s learned that all it takes 

is one person standing up and saying something for everyone else to realise 

they’re not alone. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, Lily’s honest voice will 

inspire you to be who you are and say what you feel. It’s time to claim your 

voice! It’s time to live your life unfiltered.

HISTORY: The heritage-listed Mitre Hotel on Norwich Quay was damaged in the 

September 2010 and February and June 2011 earthquakes. It has been fenced off 

since 2011. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Quake-strengthening time 

frame could be shortened 


THE HEAT is going on 

owners of earthquakeprone 

properties across 

Christchurch – including 

Canterbury’s oldest pub, 

Lyttelton’s Mitre Hotel. 

New provisions introduced 

into the Building 

Act (2004) last year require 

local authorities in areas 

of high seismic risk to 

identify earthquake-prone 

“priority buildings” in high 

traffic areas or on strategic 

transport routes. 

Such buildings will have 

to be strengthened twice 

as quickly as non-priority 

buildings, shortening the 

time frame from 15 years 

to 7.5 years. 

That’s because they 

could collapse during an 

earthquake and impede 

important routes. 

Consultation is due to 

take place over the next 

few months to determine 

which buildings fit the 

criteria. 

Norwich Quay is a key 

route for traffic accessing 

Lyttelton Port. 

A city council spokeswoman 

said no dates had 

been set but consultation 

would take place in the 

second half of this year. 

A sly grog shop called 

the Mitre opened on the 

Norwich Quay site in 1849 

but the current concrete 

building is the third incarnation 

after the first was 

destroyed by fire in 1875 

and the second in 1926. 

A letter and earthquakeprone 

building notice was 

sent to the owner of the 

Mitre Hotel in January and 

the spokeswoman confirmed 

other potentially affected 

building owners had 

been sent a similar letter 

about the consultation. 

The pub has been closed 

since the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

CERA installed safety 

barriers around the building 

in March 2012, which 

cannot be removed until 

the owner undertakes 

structural strengthening, 

which will require a building 

consent. 

No building consent has 

been lodged with the city 

council nor any application 

for heritage funding.

Shellfish under threat 

•From page 1 

Ms Hampson measured 

the number and size of 

cockles in areas near the 

Mt Pleasant causeway, the 

Beachville Rd jetty and the 

Mt Pleasant Yacht Club. 

“I was really surprised,” 

she said, “I wasn’t expecting 

it to decline that much, 

I thought we might find 

a little bit less but not like 

this . . . a lot of them are 

really small because there’s 

not enough good nutrients. 

We had cockles eight or 

nine years old that were 

only 20-30mm which is 

smaller than they should be 

for their age.” 

Cockles can live for 20 

years but eight to nine years 

is typical as there is high 

juvenile mortality rate. 

Beds alongside the causeway 

and yacht club were 

heavily depleted. 

“The areas near the 

causeway are hard-hit by 

collecting so there’s not 

enough time for them 

to establish and the area 

closest to the Mt Pleasant 

Yacht Club was also low 

which might be due to 

disturbance and unhealthiness 

from cars driving near 

to the beach. We struggled 

to find more than 40 across 

that entire site – about 10m 

right beside the water line.” 

A survey of 100 estuary 

users found some were collecting 

in groups as large 

as nine; collectively they 

could take more than 1000 

cockles in one day and still 

be within the limit. 

Most people didn’t know 

what the limit was. 

“Some thought it was 

similar to Auckland, some 

thought it was a bucketful, 

some thought it was 

between 150 and 400.” 

Signs put up with catch 

limits “kept disappearing.” 

Ms Hampson attributes 

the decline to a combination 

of poor nutrients and 

pressure from collecting. 

“With the earthquakes, 

the silt was blocking the 

cockles’ gills and I think 

that affected their health; if 

they’re not as healthy they 

won’t be producing as many 

baby cockles. And then 

because people are taking 

so many, there’s not enough 

replacement in the system; 

they don’t have the chance 

to recover and grow.” 

“I think for people to 

still be able to collect there 

needs to be a lower limit, 

especially in the hardest hit 

areas. At this rate, in the 

channel they’re going to 

die. Eventually there will 

be so few the only ones that 

are big enough to reproduce 

will be taken.” 

The research was funded 

by Canterbury University 

and the Avon-Heathcote 

Estuary Ihutai Trust.

reduced from 150 per

Revised complex application lodged 


CONSENT FOR a retail 

development in Church Bay is 

unlikely to be publicly notified. 

Spence Developments lodged 

a resource consent application 

last month to build a supermarket 

and car park, cafe, small cinema 

and four shops at 139-143 

Marine Drive. 

City council head of resource 

consents John Higgins said no 

decision had been reached as 

to how the application would 

be processed but “public notification 

would seem unlikely” 

because the site is zoned for 

commercial use. However, it was 

still possible limited notification 

would take place with affected 

properties in the area, he said. 

Church Bay Neighbourhood 

Association secretary Pat 

Pritchett said she didn’t see the 

need for public notification. “I 

think people feel they’ve had a 

say,” she said. 

An application was to be 

made late last year but consultation 

with city council staff and 

the Church Bay and Diamond 

Harbour communities forced a 

rethink of the original plans. 

Residents’ concerns centred 

on the appearance of the buildings 

and the entry points to the 

car park. 

REVISED PLAN: A concept drawing showing the proposed 

new development. Cedar panels have been added to the 

exterior in response to community feedback about the 

building’s appearance. 

“CBNA appreciate that Spence 

Developments gave the community 

the opportunity for input. 

The changes to the appearance, 

landscape and layout for these 

facilities has gone a long way to 

achieving community expectations,” 

said Mrs Pritchett. 

The revised plans show the 

building now has cedar board 

panels along the western facade 

and metal louvres above the 

supermarket entrance. 

The south-eastern car park 

has been pushed back from the 

boundary by 5.5m, bollards 

proposed for restricting access 

outside opening hours and a 

revised landscape plan features 

a row of pohutukawa trees along 

with beech, lancewood and flax. 

And car parking spaces now 

number 103 – less than the 111 

originally proposed.

Association chairman 

FACT BOX: 

• Total land area: 8,311sqm 

• Gross floor area for the 

supermarket, shops and 

cafe/cinema: 1634sqm 

•1720sqm of landscaped

Richard Suggate said given the 

scale of the development and 

the amount of feedback it had 

generated, it “would be helpful” 

if it was publicly notified. 

The developers may put a

Development 

plans for Collet’s 

Corner site 


PLANS FOR the site known as 

Collet’s Corner were shared with 

the Banks Peninsula Community 

Board on Monday. 

Landowner Camia Young is 

proposing to build a 2300 sq m 

building at the former Empire Tavern 

site on the corner of Oxford and 

London Sts. 

Roman baths, a co-working 

space and cafe, cinema, bar and 

hotel accommodation are the likely 

uses for the space, following public 

consultation by Ohu Developments, 

Ms Young’s property development 

company. 

A three-month long design competition 

will be held for architects 

and architectural students to put 

forward their concepts, Ms Young 

said. 

It’s intended the building will be 

funded through a mixture of private 

investment and public equity 

secured through crowd-funding 

platforms like PledgeMe. 

The cost is likely to be between 

$5 million and $8 million with a 

planned 2020 opening. Ms Young 

bought the land in 2013 for $630,000. 

A public information session 

is scheduled for Wednesday, 

June 6, 6-7.30pm, at the Lyttelton 

Community Boardrooms on 

Canterbury St.

Well-known Sumner 

WW2 veteran and 

volunteer dies aged 99 


A WELL-KNOWN Sumner 

identity who was awarded 

an MBE for his service to the 

community and a Distinguished 

Service Cross for bravery in 

World War 2 has died. 

Alexander ‘Sandy’ Brunt dedicated 

most of his life to helping 

others, both as a pilot during 

WW2 and afterwards as a tireless 

volunteer. 

He died at Edith Cavell 

Lifecare aged 99 years and nine 

months, just 84 days short of his 

100th birthday. 

Mr Brunt served in the Fleet 

Air Arm, flying Fairey Albacore 

and Swordfish biplanes off British 

aircraft carriers from 1941-1945, 

rising to the rank of Lieutenant 

Commander in the Royal New 

Zealand Navy Volunteer Reserve 

Force. 

Among the squadrons he 

served in were the 826, 834 and 

the 706. 

The Distinguished Service 

Cross was awarded to him for 

“bravery and devotion to duty 

in air operations in the western 

desert.” He flew in the Pacific 

and in Egypt. 

One of his tasks was undertaking 

night missions to drop flares 

for bombers. Upon returning 

from the war, he joined the Sumner 

Cricket Club and went on to 

play until the age of 49. 

He had hoped to play until he 

was 50 but said that when you 

get to the stage where you “drop 

all your catches, 

get no wickets and 

don’t make any 

runs, it’s time to 

give it away.” 

In 1954 he married 

Rona and 

shortly after built 

a house on Kinsey 

Tce, where they 

lived until the 

February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

Mrs Brunt said 

he was a handyman 

who was 

“capable of doing 

anything.” They 

raised two children – a son Tony 

and daughter Jenny. 

An active member of the 

Sumner Lifeboat Institution 

for several years, he went on to 

establish the Sumner Lifeboat 

Replacement Fund and was a 

charter member of the Christchurch 

South Lions Club in 1966. 

Alexander ‘Sandy’ 

Brunt 

For 13 years, he co-ordinated 

the volunteers who manned 

the police kiosk in Cathedral 

Square, and his work on the 

‘Speak Up’ campaign earned him 

an MBE . 

When he was 80, he began 

teaching bible class to five and 

six-year-olds at 

Redcliffs Primary 

School, and for the 

next five years he 

looked forward to 

going down to talk 

to the pupils once a 

week during term 

time. 

He was a man 

of courage and 

conviction, said 

Tony in a speech 

at his father’s 90th 

birthday. 

“Someone who set 

himself goals and 

worked diligently to 

reach them. But they have seldom 

been selfish goals. It’s fair to say 

that most of dad’s energies have 

gone to making other people’s 

lives better.” 

•A memorial service will be 

held at 2pm on Tuesday at 

St Andrews Church, Main Rd, 

Redcliffs.

late 1940 or early 1941. The plane in the background is thought 

to be a Tiger Moth. 

Lyttelton identity dies after short illness 

•From page 1 

“I will always appreciate 

the passion and commitment 

Christine showed in all of the 

excellent work she did and all 

that she achieved for Lyttelton, 

not only at the community 

board but in her many other 

roles over a long period of time. 

I have greatly enjoyed working 

with Christine and I know she 

will be much missed in our 

community,” Cr Turner 

said. 

Labour MP for Port Hills 

Ruth Dyson said Lyttelton had 

lost a “quiet but strong leader” 

who was extraordinarily well 

connected with the community 

and passionate about getting 

gaps filled. 

“I will miss her as a friend 

and a colleague and Lyttelton 

will mourn her passing,” Ms 

Dyson said. 

Ms Wilson resigned her 

position for health reasons in 

February. 

She had taken on the role 

of chair in 2016 after serving 

one previous term on the 

board. 

Ms Wilson died peacefully 

on Saturday and will be at 25 

Days Rd, Lyttelton, for those 

who would like to pay their 

respects. 

A celebration of her life will 

be held at the Lyttelton Recreation 

Grounds on Thursday, 

May 31. 

Everyone is welcome from 

11am, to be seated for the service 

commencing at noon. 

That will be followed by a private 

cremation for immediate 

family members.

Mt Pleasant market 

to celebrate seven 

years with ‘long lunch’ 


THE MT Pleasant Farmers’ 

Market is celebrating its seventh 

birthday with a ‘long lunch’ over 

Queen’s Birthday weekend. 

Mt Pleasant resident Tom 

Davies established the 

market shortly after 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, and its 

popularity has continued 

to grow. 

“While locals tell us 

they enjoy shopping 

at the market to buy 

fresh, locally-grown 

food, the opportunity 

it provides each week 

for residents to ‘bump’ 

into one another while 

buying artisan bread 

or a piece of handmade cheese is 

just as highly-valued,” said event 

organiser Derek McCullough. 

The lunch was an opportunity 

to acknowledge the market’s 

importance. 

“We want to establish this 

event as one way of the community 

demonstrating its ongoing 

support for the market.” 

Mr McCullough said in keeping 

with the tradition of long 

lunches celebrated by farmers’ 

markets overseas, it will highlight 

the range of fresh produce 

available while raising funds for 

market improvements. 

A three-course 

menu will be created 

from ingredients 

which traders have 

donated. 

And a team of 

volunteers will help 

out in the kitchen, 

wait the tables and 

provide the music. 

The lunch will be 

served at the new 

Mt Pleasant Centre. 

Derek McCullough 

•Get along to the market 

on Queen’s Birthday Monday 

at 12.30pm. Tickets cost 

$50 each and include a 

complimentary drink. 

Tickets can be purchased 

from the Mt Pleasant Centre 

office, 9am-2pm, weekdays, 

or the market’s General 

Store on Saturday, 9.30am- 

12.30pm. 




ECan rethinks bus cuts 

• By Julia Evans 

PUBLIC OUTCRY has caused 

a rethink over plans to cut bus 

routes around the city. 

But the 535 Eastgate to 

Lyttelton and Rapaki still 

remains on the chopping block. 

Environment Canterbury staff 

prepared an “alternative option” 

to the proposal in its draft Long 

Term Plan that would axe the 

six lowest performing bus routes 

following “overwhelming” public 

opposition, a spokeswoman 

said. 

Those routes included the 535 

and the 145 Westmorland to 

Eastgate. 

The solution is a modification 

of the six routes proposed to be 

disestablished – with frequency 

changes, the combining of two 

routes, extension and re-routing 

of others. 

But as part of the proposal, 

there would not be a service 

travelling down Linwood Ave, 

through Ferrymead and Mt 

Pleasant. 

The Rapaki section of the 

route will be serviced three 

times in the morning and three 

times in the evening by an 

extended version of the 28 Lyttelton 

bus. 

During a deliberation meeting 

CUTS: Environment Canterbury has found an alternative to 

cutting bus routes across the city, but a service travelling down 

Linwood Ave, through Ferrymead and Mt Pleasant is not in the 

plan. 

last week, councillor Cynthia 

Roberts said she wanted staff to 

re-look at dropping the 535. 

“I really would like staff to 

have a look again at the opportunity 

for the 535 that went 

through Ferrymead . . . there 

is quite a substantial group of 

people who are interested in this 

route,” she said. 

Councillors have asked for 

staff to further consider the best 

solution for the 535. 

ECan announced in February 

it was considering cutting 

the routes to plug a $4 million 

funding shortfall. The news 

prompted outrage. 

The plan would be funded by a 

2.5 per cent increase in fares annually 

for the next three years, 

starting in July. 

There were 781 submissions on 

the draft LTP, with the majority 

of those on public transport 

options. 

Mr Gibbon said if approved, 

the changes would come into 

effect in October. The decision 

now lies in the hands of councillors 

who will approve the final 

LTP in June. Bus patronage has 

not fully recovered following the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake. 

GOING AWAY THIS QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND? 

For those of you heading off for a break this long weekend please take 

the time to check real-time travel information before you head off and 

be prepared for increased traffic volumes. 

Drivers have two options for travel in the Upper 

South Island between Picton and Christchurch. 

• SH1 via Kaikōura is now open 24/7 but 

construction is ongoing (north and south) 

with delays and some single lanes. 

• The alternate Picton to Christchurch route 

via the Lewis Pass is open 24/7 (but check 

before travel as winter conditions may cause 

the Lewis Pass to be closed temporarily). 

Both routes will be busy so whichever one you 

choose the NZ Transport Agency advises you 

allow plenty of time for your trip, especially 

if you are catching a ferry or are on a tight 

schedule. 

The NZ Transport Agency encourages 

everyone heading off for a break to ‘know before 

you go’ and check the holiday hotspots map: 

www.nzta.govt.nz/hotspots. The map collates 

data from previous Queen’s Birthday Weekend 

journeys and advises on the best time to leave to 

avoid the rush. 

With the change in season it is also time to 

prepare for winter driving to stay safe: 

• Take the time to check your vehicle is in 

good condition – tyres/spare tyre, indicators, 

windshield wipers, lights 

• Be prepared by travelling with warm clothes, 

food, water and a fully charged cell phone 

• A flat battery is the most common cause 

of winter breakdowns. If it’s more than 

five years old it may struggle in the cold. 

Get it checked and replaced if necessary 

• Keep at least a quarter of a tank of fuel in 

case of any unexpected delays 

Drivers need to be patient, cautious and 

courteous. Take your time and be prepared 

for the unexpected. 

And remember, over holiday periods many 

drivers are on unfamiliar roads, so please 

be patient as we are all in this situation at 

some stage. 

HOW TO STAY UP TO DATE: 

• Plan your journey between Picton and 

Christchurch and get real-time information 

via www.nzta.govt.nz/p2c or call 

0800 4 HIGHWAYS (0800 44 44 49). 

We recommend checking at least two hours 

before you travel and while on your trip 

• Check the MetService weather forecast 

before you head away

Akaroa wharf battle heats up 


A TUSSLE over unpermitted 

structures on Akaroa wharf 

seems to be coming to a head. 

Black Cat Cruises installed 

signs, posts, seats and a disability 

access ramp on the city 

council-owned 

wharf without 

getting the necessary 

permission. 

The Banks 

Peninsula 

Community

Board requested 

removal of the 

structures in 

November but 

nothing has been 

taken down yet. 

The issue is 

around exactly 

which structures 

Black Cat 

Cruises will 

need to get rid 

of. It has been 

negotiating with the city council 

about the disability ramp, which 

it said was installed as part of its 

building consent. 

Chief executive Paul Milligan 

said in early April that Black Cat 

Cruises wanted to make sure it 

wasn’t breaking more rules by

removing the wheelchair ramp. 

City council staff last month 

outlined in a public excluded 

session which structures it recommended 

should go. 

But the board rejected the 

plan, saying it wanted to consult 

the Akaroa Fisherman’s 

Association, another wharf 

stakeholder, about the proposed 

changes. 

Deputy Mayor Andrew 

Turner told Bay Harbour News 

the association wanted to see 

further changes before the 

proposal went back to the board 

on June 11. 

“It was good we got that 

feedback because we want to 

find a solution that’s workable 

for Black Cat and that meets 

the needs of the association or 

addresses their concerns in a 

meaningful way.” 

Association chairman John 

Wright said it had asked for 

changes before the proposal 

went before the board again. 

“The whole lot should be 

removed,” he said. “The bottom 

line is none of those structures 

on the wharf occupying public 

space have got consent. We can’t 

understand why the city council 

hasn’t just asked them to remove 

the whole lot.” 

Cr Turner said he didn’t yet 

know if the discussion on June 

11 would exclude the public. 

He would not say whether the 

city council would pay for any 

costs associated with removal. 

Bid for $100k 

to fix Cass Bay 

playground 


DAMAGED footpaths, missing 

steps and broken benches are 

putting people off using the Cass 

Bay playground, the committee 

tasked with its management 

believes. 

It wants the city council to 

update the playground facilities 

and equipment at the same time 

as the toilet block renewal, which 

has been signalled for 2019/20 in 

the draft Long Term Plan. 

Cass Bay Reserve Management 

Committee chairwoman Jenny 

Healey spoke at a submission 

hearing last week. She asked for 

$100,000 of development work on 

paths and seating to be brought 

forward to this year and for extra 

funding to upgrade the playground. 

It wants the work to take 

place at the same time as the toilet 

block renewal. “This will lead to 

a more cohesive, cost-effective 

result and be less disruptive to the 

community and people who use 

it,” Ms Healey told Bay Harbour 

News. 

An increasing number of people 

were also using the Corsair Bay- 

Cass Bay track, she said, with an 

estimated 60,000 people projected 

to walk it this year.

Temporary drinking water chlorination 

Why can I taste and smell it? 

We’ve heard that some people are experiencing a higher 

level of taste and smell than others. 

Taste and smell varies across the city because of: 

• How close you live to the pump station 

• The condition of the water pipes 

This is because chlorine reacts with a variety of materials in the pipes, causing different levels of 

smell and taste. Over time we expect this to be less noticeable. Our contractors will be flushing 

pipes in areas that report significant problems. 

We are looking at how we can reduce the dose 

We are working with health authorities to explore how we can reduce the amount 

of chlorine in the water supply. 

We are testing chlorine levels daily from different points in the system and 

adjusting the dose where needed. 

Is chlorine safe? 

Health officials’ advice is that there are no known health impacts from drinking water effectively 

treated with chlorine. It is safe for pregnant women to drink. 

Health authorities advised us to temporarily treat the water and recommended we use chlorine. 

Chlorine has been used safely around the world for 120 years. It keeps millions of people all round the 

world – including most of New Zealand – safe from waterborne illness. More than 80 per cent of towns 

and cities in New Zealand have chlorinated water. 

For more information 

and to keep up-to-date 

ccc.govt.nz/water-chlorination 

or call us on 

941 8999 or 0800 800 169 

You can reduce the taste 

and smell by: 

• Filling an open jug of drinking water 

and keeping it in the fridge. 

• Leave lids off water containers to 

allow chlorine to evaporate. 

• Using a water filter. Options include 

jugs with filters for drinking water right 

through to whole house systems. Costs 

vary depending on what you choose. 

Filters are available to hardware 

supplies stores or water 

filter companies.

Can chlorine affect existing health conditions? 

Chlorine can be an irritant for an existing condition such as asthma 

or eczema. If you feel your skin getting dry or itchy, use moisturiser after 

having a shower or bath. If you notice increased skin irritation, asthma 

symptoms or other symptoms – seek medical advice from your GP. 

Caring for pets and fish 

Treated water is safe for household pets such as cats and dogs to drink. 

If you have fish in outside ponds you will need to either turn down in-coming water to an 

absolute trickle (this dilutes the chlorine level to a safe amount for your fish), or fill up drums of 

water and let them sit for at least 24 hours (the UV of the sun evaporates chlorine). 

For fish tanks or bowls inside, fill up a container and let it sit for at least 24 hours, then only replace 

1/3 of this water at a time with what is in the tank already. If you’re still worried, you can buy 

de-chlorinating kits (sodium thiosulfate) at pet supplies stores. 

Does chlorine cause cancer? 

The International Agency for Cancer Research (IARC) does 

not believe chlorinated water is either a probable, or even 

possible, cause of cancer. 

Christchurch 

water supply 

pump stations 

How long will we be chlorinating 

the water? 

Council has authorised the chlorination of 

the water supply for up to 12 months. 

Should longer be required, a further 

resolution of Council would be 

needed. The amount of work 

that needs to happen to 

remove chlorine is still

Black Ferns drop into Sumner Rugby Club 

SPORTS 

SPECIAL VISITORS: A trio of Black Ferns visited Sumner with 

the World Cup trophy as part of club day at St Leonards Park. 

• By Gordon Findlater 

BLACKS FERNS Kendra 

Cocksedge, Chelsea Alley and 

Aleisha Nelson turned out at 

Sumner on Saturday to help 

celebrate club day. 

The trio watched the two 

metro under-16 girls games 

being played at St Leonards Park 

and even refereed some junior 

games. 

“They were very accommodating. 

They had the World Cup 

there for the kids to get photos 

with . . . there was nothing but 

glowing reports,” said Sumner 

club captain John Taylor. 

In the headline game of the 

day, Sumner left it to the final 

5min of their match against 

High School Old Boys to win 

24-23. The win moved Sumner 

into second spot in the Hawkins 

Metro Premier Cup with just two 

rounds remaining. 

With 5min left on the clock. 

Sumner were trailing 17-23. 

However, the home side found 

themselves in striking distance 

of the HSOB line and captain 

Dylan Nel barged his way over to 

leave Tom Ziolo with a chance to 

give Sumner the lead. 

After missing from a position 

5m closer to the posts earlier in 

the game, Ziolo held his nerve to 

give Sumner the lead and they 

never relinquished it. 

Sumner’s division two side 

didn’t have as much luck 

going down 17-50 to HSOB. 

Meanwhile, the Sumner Sharks 

overcame the Christchurch 

Canardlys in their annual Friday 

night match under lights at 

Christchurch Park. They won 

13-5 courtesy of tries from 

Waterboy and Moose. 

Bays seeking payback against Chatham Cup rivals 

• By Gordon Findlater 

FOR FERRYMEAD Bays, it 

doesn’t get much bigger than 

facing rivals Cashmere Technical 

in the Chatham Cup. 

After the disappointment of 

unsuccessfully defending their 

Mainland Premier League title, 

Bays now have to put that behind 

them on Queen’s Birthday when 

they travel to Garrick Park. 

“The season hasn’t gone as 

we’d hoped . . . we want to be the 

best club in Christchurch so it 

would be nice to cut their party a 

little bit short,” said Bays captain 

Richard Astley. 

If they’re to do that they will 

need a quick turnaround in 

form. Bays were put to the sword 

1-5 the last time the two teams 

met in the MPL at Garrick Park 

earlier this month. 

“They really showed up. That’s 

as good as I’ve seen them play in 

a few years,” said Astley. 

“We’ve got a bit of payback 

to get. If you can’t get up for a 

game after a 1-5 loss then there’s 

something wrong.” 

Cashmere are two-time 

winners of the Chatham Cup – 

the country’s most prestigious 

knockout football competition. 

They won back-to-back titles in 

2013 and 2014. Running into the 

former champions early on isn’t 

new for Bays. 

Astley is hoping Monday’s 

second round match, which 

starts at 2pm, will fan out better 

than one of his first encounters 

against Cashmere in the cup. 

“We met them in the second 

round and ended up losing in a 

penalty shootout. They ended up 

going on to win that year,” said 

Astley. 

Bays will first play FC Twenty 

11 in their penultimate MPL 

match on Saturday. Astley says 

Monday’s match against their 

rivals is also pivotal in building 

momentum going into the newly 

re-established South Island 

league where they have title 

hopes.

Eco-system education 

New Banks 

Peninsula 

Water Zone 

Committee 

member 

Garrick 

Thorn writes 

about a 

programme 

which helps young people 

preserve waterways – right 

in their own backyards 

AN EXCITING new educational 

programme has begun on the 

peninsula, providing schools 

and kids with the tools and the 

knowledge to understand our 

unique aquatic eco-system. 

At the Banks Peninsula Water 

Zone Committee meeting last 

month, Kirsty Brennan from 

EOS Ecology introduced their 

education programme, ‘Nature 

Agents.’ 

This programme has been 

developed to give school students 

authentic scientific experiences 

in their local environment. 

The group provides schools 

with equipment, training, information 

and some support time 

to enable students to set up their 

own monitoring of waterways, 

measuring critical parameters 

to understand its ecology and 

health. 

So far the programme has been 

to three schools – Okains Bay, 

Duvauchelle and Akaroa – and 

student and staff feedback has 

been positive. 

These types of initiatives 

can have wide and diverse 

positive impacts on our water 

quality. 

By working with EOS Ecology 

we can help identify waterways 

that could most benefit from 

such a monitoring regime. 

Tracking changes in our

Richardson. 

waterways can help us identify 

problems early or understand 

how projects and initiatives are 

having an impact. 

Education is such a great 

way of boosting our long term 

water prospects and is something 

the zone committee is very 

interested in promoting so it’s 

great we have this happening in 

our area. 

We have such enthusiastic 

water advocates on the peninsula 

and inspiring our younger 

generations will have even more 

positive impacts. 

As a new member of the committee 

I’m inspired to hear stories 

about how our communities 

are proactively getting involved 

in water projects and I’m excited 

to be part of it. 

Make a difference by 

scrapping plastic bags 

Local 

initiatives to 

reduce the 

amount of 

plastic in the 

environment 

are just the 

beginning, 

believes National List MP 

for Port Hills Nuk Korako 

IT IS a well-known fact that 

plastic is damaging our planet 

and our environment. 

Kiwis currently 

use around 1.6 

billion singleuse 

plastic bags 

every year and 

that is a staggering 

amount. 

The good news 

is that some great 

initiatives for 

recycling have been 

coming to the fore. 

Congratulations to Lyttelton 

SuperValue which is the 

first in the South Island to ban 

single use plastic carrier bags 

and the Countdown supermarket 

chain have chosen 10 

of their stores nationwide to go 

single use bag free by the end of 

June, with the Ferrymead store 

being one of these. (It ended 

single-use plastic bags on May 

21.) 

The Warehouse is on to it as 

they will enforce that same rule 

by the end of 2018. 

If we can all remember to take 

our own bags, bucket, box or 

whatever works for you, we will 

make a difference . 

The Packaging Forum has 

teamed up with major brands 

and sponsors around New 

Zealand with an initiative that 

is worth supporting. 

It is an exciting enterprise 

which we will all benefit 

from, as will our environment. 

It is amazing 

what this project 

will take – all 

soft plastic bags 

including bread 

bags, frozen 

food bags, toilet 

paper packaging, 

confectionery and 

biscuit wrap, chip bags, pasta 

and rice bags, courier envelopes, 

shopping bags – basically 

anything made of plastic which 

can be scrunched into a ball 

can be placed into the drop off 

bins at over 30 Christchurch 

supermarkets and Warehouse 

stores.

among 

the 700 

volunteers 

helping 

clean 

the city’s 

waterways. 

Bagging up rubbish in the 

‘mother of all clean-ups’ 

Ferrymead 

Anna: One Love, Two Stories 

by Amanda Prowse 

There was a big turnout for 

the ‘mother of all cleanups’ 

but as Port Hills Labour 

MP Ruth Dyson writes, there 

are other things we can do 

to reduce pollution 

The day before Mother’s Day 

each year is an important one, 

as our area gives mother nature 

clean riverbanks and clean estuary 

surrounds. The “mother of all 

clean-ups” has been going for a 

few years now and this year had 

one of the best turnouts and, in 

some but sadly not all areas, had 

significantly less rubbish than 

previously. 

Over 600 volunteers worked 

around the estuary and Heathcote 

River and collected nearly 

400 bags of rubbish. Much of the 

rubbish was stuff that would have 

been pretty easy to put in a bin 

– takeaways bags and containers 

and there were a lot of empty bottles. 

But there were also tyres and 

mattresses and other big items. 

It’s hard to work out the thinking 

of someone who dumps a mattress 

on the side of the estuary. 

Well done to the volunteers 

who turned out to what was a 

glorious day weather-wise, to the 

groups who organised both the 

event and the volunteers and to 

Zac Cassels who, as always, was 

a magnificent host of the post 

clean-up celebration. 

ENTER TO 

WIN 

Two new novels from Amanda Prowse, that tell the story of 

one couple from both sides... This is Anna’s story. 

From the heartbreaking, uplifting and bestselling Amanda 

Prowse , this is an unforgettable romance about what happens 

when two very different people fall in love. There are two sides to 

every love story. This is Anna’s. Anna Cole grew up poor, but her mother’s love made 

her feel rich every day. Then her mother died, and Anna was sent to a care home. As 

a teenager, Anna vowed that one day, she would have children of her own, and create 

the happy, noisy family life she always craved. Then, one day, Anna meets Theo 

Montgomery in a lift. Theo has kind eyes, but a sad past. His family were rich, but 

his childhood was full of neglect. Theo can’t imagine bringing a child into this cruel 

world, but he does want a soulmate. Someone to love him unconditionally; someone 

with whom he can share his family’s wealth. Theo and Anna are two damaged souls, 

from two different worlds. Is their love for each other enough to let go of the pain of 

their pasts? Or will Anna and Theo break each others’ hearts?

THE HISTORIC Allandale 

Community Hall near 

Teddington is back in the 

community’s hands. 

The 120-year-old hall was 

badly damaged in the Canterbury 

earthquakes and closed for 

safety reasons. 

However, a major repair effort 

over the past year has seen the 

earthquake damage fixed and 

some upgrades made to the hall. 

It now has a new kitchen, 

accessible toilets, new wiring, 

and doors that lead to a large 

deck on the north side of the 

building. 

The original floors in the hall 

have also been revarnished and 

the hall painted inside and out. 

The hall was officially reopened

Never Fade (The Darkest Minds, Book 2) 

by Alexandra Bracken 

Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call 

upon them on a daily basis. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby ‘Leader’, 

but she knows what she really is - a monster. When Ruby is entrusted with an 

explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet - leaving the 

Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of 

America’s children - and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated 

outcasts - has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one 

place - in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future and 

who now wouldn’t recognize her. 

As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam, she is torn 

between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do 

anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing 

herself. 

The second book in the NYT bestselling series, that is soon to become a major 

motion picture. 

Clown Doctors New Zealand provide medical clowning programmes to health 

care facilities and share with children and elderly the many healing benefits of 

laughter. Clown Doctors use humour for a therapeutic purpose, according to 

individual needs - making hospitals a little less scary for children and alleviating 

boredom and creating spontaneity in the lives of the elderly.
