To celebrate, he shouted all the pupils Mr Whippy ice cream, which proved a massive hit with one and all. Mr Kearns has filled the principal’s role since John Kane stepped down after four years in December to become principal at Tai Tapu School. Students start rebuilding history at Godley Head • By Sarla Donovan AN introductory trades course at the Ara Institute of Canterbury is helping to reconstruct history at Godley Head. Assisted by the Godley Head Heritage Trust and the Department of Conservation, 15 students are creating a partial replica of the port-war signal station, used to defend Lyttelton Harbour during World War 2. The project involves building and painting a replica set of wooden cubby boxes, originally used by the New Zealand Navy to house signal flags. In WW2, navy sailors stationed at Godley Head used flags and a small Aldis searchlight to identify ships coming into the harbour as either friend or foe. If the boat could not be recognised or failed to identify itself correctly, they would contact the army, which could be mobilise troops within 12min. When completed, the replica signal boxes will contribute to a heritage display at the regional headquarters building in Godley Head. The display depicts the events that took place at Godley Head during WW2. For high school-aged students from the construction and infrastructure pathways programme at Ara, the project gives them hands-on construction experience. The students come from secondary schools across the city, including Van Asch Deaf Education Centre and Linwood College. Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee Forestry on Banks Peninsula Fiona (Grace) Nicol, Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee member Forestry is a topical issue nationally at the moment, with large rain events potentially a high-risk event for wash out of timber and exposed soil onto neighbouring properties and into streams and harbours. With its finger on the pulse, the Banks Peninsula Zone Committee (BPZC) has been working on this issue for the past six months and has received presentations from community and expert advice from both Environment Canterbury and Christchurch City Council. The main finding from the committee has been that up until now there has been regionally different, and sometimes minimal regulations, consents and compliance required for forestry all over New Zealand. But that all this is changing now. In May 2018 new National Forestry Standards were released by central government. These new standards will be streamlined into regional and local council rules and the industry will be more regulated than it is now. The BPZC is working with both Environment Canterbury and Christchurch City Council as they integrate these new national standards into local plans and rules. The committee has recommended that councils consider the unique nature of Banks Peninsula when determining how to implement the new rules. For example: • Peninsula soils are prone to erosion and there are a number of high-risk sediment catchments on the Peninsula such as Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Harbour. • Banks Peninsula has many short steep catchments, streams and areas of biodiversity with important ecological and cultural values, many of which are already mapped. It is important that the new standards take these areas into consideration and these areas are protected. • The zone committee promote the compliance of the new standards by councils and also encourage communities to work in partnership to ensure that any breaches of the new standards are reported and recorded. The BPZC will work with councils to help communicate information about the new forestry standards and what it means for landowners and forestry operators on Banks Peninsula. It is early days but as more information becomes available we will help get it out to the community. Please keep your eye out in local papers over the coming months for more information about these new forestry requirements. The zone committee meet every month to discuss water management issues on Banks Peninsula so come along to one of our meetings and have your say. The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is a community-led committee supported by Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury. fb.com/canterburywater
