history 

preserved 

for the 

future 

While the French were dominating at the World Cup last week, another club in blue were running out some 

potential stars of the future. Ferrymead Bays footballer Api Rabuka was a star at the Christchurch International Cup, 

winning the golden boot award as joint top scorer in the under-14 grade. Bays entered a host of teams in school 

holiday competitions – find out how they went on page 15. 

THE HISTORY of Lyttelton 

and the Bay Harbour area is set 

to be digitally preserved. 

The Lyttelton Museum has 

received a $108,000 grant from 

the Lottery Environment and 

Heritage Committee to scan 

thousands of historic images 

relating to the harbour area and 

community. 

The museum’s collection 

has been in storage since the 

earthquakes, when the entire 

collection was rescued from its 

historic premises on Norwich 

Quay. 

Currently concept designs 

for a new museum building in 

Lyttelton are being developed 

by architects Warren & 

Mahoney. 

Said museum collections 

team lead Lizzie Meek: “We 

are absolutely delighted 

that we will be able to scan 

and preserve our wonderful 

collection of historic images.” 

“Not only will this protect 

our fragile originals, but we 

will also be able to make the 

pictures available in our online 

collection, so they can be 

accessed easily by anyone with 

an internet connection.”

THERE’S A fantastic project about to get 

under way in Lyttelton (see page 1). 

Lyttelton Museum has been granted 

just over $100k to digitise the port and 

surrounding area’s history. 

The museum wants the community to play a part in the project 

by adding their memories and other gems of information of the 

harbour area’s great history. 

I suspect they will get some good uptake on this. 

Another step in what will be a fairly steep climb over the 

consent/coastal hazards issue is aired on page 3. 

A public meeting will be held next week to bring residents affected 

by council rules and regulations up to speed. 

We also share a story from a couple across the estuary in 

Southshore (pages 6-7).

Public meeting to discuss issues 

Coastal flooding 

worry for 

residents wanting 

resource consents 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A PUBLIC meeting will be held 

next week aiming to discuss 

problems coastal residents 

are facing getting resource 

consents. 

Christchurch Coastal Residents 

United chairman Simon 

Watts said many Sumner, 

Redcliffs, Southshore, South 

Brighton and Taylors Mistake 

residents were unaware of the 

potential problems facing sites 

within the High Flood Hazard 

Management Area. 

At issue is the way sites in a 

‘restricted unit overlay’ within 

the HFHMA are treated by city 

council planners. 

CCRU say a restricted 

discretionary activity rule 

recommended by the Replacement 

District Plan independent 

hearings panel – and meant to 

govern sites within the RUO – 

was left out when the plan was 

implemented last year. 

The restricted unit overlay 

comprises 1486 residential 

zoned sites within the HFHMA 

which are only at risk from 

future sea level rise – not river 

or tidal flooding. 

City council planning staff 

will be present at the meeting. 

But CCRU say property owners 

within the restricted unit 

overlay have been facing huge 

difficulty getting resource and/ 

or building consent because 


TIDAL: Sumner is one of the areas which could be at risk from future sea level rise. 

without the discretionary rule, 

under the District Plan the sites 

are treated the same as any 

others within the HFHMA, 

whereby “new developments or 

intensification of land uses . . . 

are to be avoided.” 

Mr Watts said many people in 

areas covered by the RUO “are 

in complete ignorance that this 

problems even exists and we’d 

rather not let them discover it 

like we’ve discovered it – one 

couple breaking up at a time; 

one family at a time having 

to move out in distress. We’d 

rather give them a heads-up.” 

•The meeting will be 

held July 25, 7.30pm, at 

the Redcliffs Mt Pleasant

Fire rages, homes at risk 

UNLOCKED VEHICLE STOLEN 

An unlocked vehicle was stolen 

from Takamatua Beach Rd on 

Wednesday night. The 2004 black 

Ford Territory was parked in a 

driveway and the keys were in the 

ignition, said Akaroa police Senior 

Constable Tim Johnson. “It looks 

like they tried other unlocked cars 

around the area as well, there were 

doors open and it looks like they’d 

gone through a couple.” He said 

people should ensure their vehicles 

are locked when not in use. 

CHALLENGE BREAK-IN 

The Challenge Little River Garage 

was broken into just before 5am on 

Thursday. Two offenders wearing 

hooded sweatshirts smashed the 

front glass Ranchslider, setting off 

an alarm. Security footage showed 

them running behind the counter 

then dashing out the front door 

without taking anything. It’s the 

second time in six months the 

garage has been targeted. 

WHARF STRUCTURES TO GO 

Black Cat Cruises has confirmed 

it will remove all non -authorised 

structures from outside its 

premises on Akaroa Wharf after a 

request from the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board. Black Cat chief 

executive Paul Milligan said the 

work is expected to be completed 

before summer.

HISTORIC: A 

view of the 

harbour from 

Sumner Rd in 

1882. 

PAST: 

Looking 

down 

London St, 

Lyttelton, in 

1890. 

• By Sophie Cornish and Sarla 

Donovan 

A DRINK driver and his two 

passengers are probably lucky to 

be alive after he backed his car 

into the sea. 

The incident (right) happened 

at 12.45am on Thursday at Duvauchelle, 

between the campground 

and the boatsheds. 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire 

Brigade chief fire officer Mark 

Thomson said if the vehicle had 

gone into the sea an hour later, 

it would have been nearly high 

tide and the trio would probably 

have drowned. 

“They were very lucky . . . if 

the water was any higher and 

the car had flipped upside down, 

they would have drowned 

because they wouldn’t have been 

able to get themselves out.” 

Senior Constable Tim Johnson 

said a small white fluffy dog, 

which was in the car, appears to 

have distracted the driver. 

“They’ve backed out of an address 

and it appears that a small 

dog in the vehicle might have 

got between the driver’s legs and 

they’ve reversed back over the 

seawall.” 

The Toyota Rav4 was left 

teetering with its back axle in 

the water. 

Senior Constable Johnson 

would not say what breath alcohol 

level the 47-year-old Banks 

Peninsula man had. However, 

he will appear in district court 

on a drink driving charge. 

He said there was no immediate 

danger to those inside. 

“It’s lucky it ended up where it 

did. If it was a smaller vehicle, it 

could have gone end over end or 

slid to the side.”

Southshore couple get consent after 


• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

CHARLOTTE DONNE and 

Dylan Wood wanted nothing 

more than to add a small 

extension to their home in time 

for their first child’s arrival in 

September. 

The Southshore couple had 

planned to expand their small 

beach cottage by 60 sq m to 

allow for more space in their 

kitchen and lounge area. 

But what should have been a 

simple process to get a building 

consent from the city council 

for their home on Rocking 

Horse Rd turned into a long 

“battle.” Coastal residents living 

in the city council’s High Flood 

Management Plan area are facing 

difficulties obtaining resource 

consent to extend their homes or 

build on empty sections. 

Miss Donne and Mr Wood 

lodged their consent application 

in November last year but only 

received the go-ahead last 

month. 

The Christchurch Coastal 

Residents’ United group say a 

restricted discretionary activity 

rule, recommended by the 

replacement District Plan independent 

hearings panel, was left 

out when the plan was finalised 

last year. The group is made up 

of coastal residents and experts. 

Without the discretionary 

rule, under the District Plan new 

developments or intensification 

of land use in the High Flood 

Management Plan area is to be 

avoided. 

Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board deputy chairman Tim 

Sintes said leaving the rule out 

may have been a mistake and he 

is working with interested parties 

to put it right. 

He said for residents to buy a 

section of land and be told they 

can’t build or get their money 

back was an “extremely distressing” 

position to be in. 

A city council independent 

hearings panel decision on the 

rule was scheduled to be made 

on Friday but was delayed and 

will not be out until Monday 

next week. 

HURDLES: 

Southshore 

couple Dylan 

Wood and 

Charlotte 

Donne have 

been through 

a drawn out 

process with 

the city council 

to get a small 

extension to 

their home. 

PHOTO: 

MARTIN 

HUNTER 

It comes as Regenerate 

Christchurch has started public 

consultation with Southshore 

and South New Brighton residents 

on how to solve rising sea 

level issues. MPs met last month 

to help solve residents’ problems 

over getting resource consents. 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams said MPs will decide 

on what their next action will be 

based on the decision made by 

the independent hearings panel. 

Miss Donne and Mr Wood 

were originally told by the city 

council a building consent would 

be granted in February. 

But after agreeing to sign 

a waiver under section 72 of 

the Building Act 2004 in their 

property’s certificate of title, the 

consent was granted last month. 

Mr Sintes said by signing the 

waiver, the city council cannot 

take the blame if anything was to 

go wrong with the property. 

Miss Donne said if she hadn’t 

signed the waiver, the couple 

would have had to go down the 

road of getting a resource consent 

as well. 

She said it was “daunting” 

signing the document as it made 

them uncertain as to how it 

could affect them in the future in 

terms of insurance. 

Mr Sintes said in the last few 

weeks, residents in the High 

Flood Management Plan area 

have been telling him they have 

had difficulty getting insurance. 

Miss Donne said she feels 

lucky to have a building consent 

in the coastal area. 

“Some people would say we are 

crazy investing in our first home 

here, but we love the beach lifestyle 

and wouldn’t live anywhere 

else.”

She said the extension 

could have been built before 

her baby was born. It is 

due on September 25. The 

couple now won’t begin 

the project until summer. 

Their home, referred to as a 

“beach shack,” is currently 

70 sq m. 

“Not living in such a 

small place that your work 

clothes smell of last night’s 

roast lamb because the 

wardrobe is near the kitchen 

will be nice,” she said. 

They were aware they 

were in a flood zone and 

contacted the city council 

before engaging in the project 

in about November. 

Miss Donne said the 

city council initially told 

them they would need 

higher floor levels to allow 

the consent to go ahead. 

But then they began to get 

unclear answers. 

She attended several 

community board meetings 

and went to Mr Sintes 

to resolve the issue before 

the city council proposed 

the couple signed the 

waiver. 

But Miss Donne 

acknowledged the long 

process was not entirely 

the city council’s fault as 

the couple’s engineer had 

moved away without telling 

them, leaving them “hanging 

for months.”

Building nearly ready after repairs 


EARTHQUAKE repairs on the 

historic Akaroa Service Centre 

building are nearing completion 

with a ribbon-cutting ceremony 

planned for next month. 

The heritage-listed 1915 

structure, a prominent 

landmark in the centre of 

town, has undergone $1 million

years after suffering damage 

in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquakes.

space. 

Akaroa District Promotions 

will also operate from the 

building, which was built to 

replace the former single-storey 

wooden post office. 

In 1993 it was sold by New 

Zealand Post after the reorganisation 

of Government 

services under the fourth 

Labour Government. 

The repaired building with be 

formally opened on August 8.

Getting pests under control 


THE CITY council is a step closer 

to signing a memorandum of 

understanding on pest control on Banks 

Peninsula. 

Last week, the Infrastructure, Transport 

and Environment Committee 

endorsed the memorandum which 

supports a collaborative approach to 

ridding the region of pests. 

The multi-agency initiative aims to 

free the 100,000ha peninsula of pests by 

2050 – in tandem with a national commitment 

from the Government. 

It focuses on a co-coordinated 

response to pest control, allowing for 

information collation, central planning 

and operational organisation. 

The other parties involved are the 

Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust, 

Environment Canterbury, Department 

of Conservation, Koukourarata 

Runanga, Rod Donald Banks Peninsula 

Trust, Selwyn District Council and 

Summit Rd Society. 

It ties in with the Predator Free New 

Zealand 2050 vision announced by 

the Government two years ago which 

aims to remove opossums, rodents and 

mustelids from large areas of the North 

and South Island. Other introduced 

predators found on Banks Peninsula are 

feral goats, deer, cats and pigs, rabbits, 

hares and hedgehogs. 

DoC has been trying to eradicate 

feral goats from the area with a muster 

removing 220 goats earlier this year and 

professional hunters brought in several 

weeks ago to finish the remainder off 

from the area around Little Akaloa. 

The goats are considered a threat to 

native and endemic plants, destroying 

both flora and fauna biodiversity. 

And the Spreydon-Cashmere Community 

Board recently approved a 

$45,000 grant to the Summit Rd Society’s 

Predator Free Port Hills project 

which supports backyard trapping.

News

Shane France – The $3.5 

million mentioned which is to be 

used for the repair of Diamond 

Harbour wharf could be a good 

thing. What I see when I look at 

the Diamond Harbour wharf is a 

beautiful worn wooden structure 

and a historical piece of the 

area. I just hope that the repair 

retains the character and look 

that it currently has. We lose 

too many historically beautiful 

structures to new modern looking 

constructions in Christchurch 

and New Zealand. There 

are many photos of Diamond 

Harbour. I know it would lose 

something if we replaced the 

wharf with a modern looking 

simulation. There are very few 

places left around Canterbury 

that have the quaint little village 

feel, let’s not spoil this one. 

The Redcliffs School 

debate continues 

Bronwyn Simpson – As 

a resident who has an outlook 

over Redcliffs Park I would like 

to throw my support behind the 

hard working and talented team 

at Redcliffs School. A huge thank 

you to both the previous and 

current principal and the amazing 

BOT team for your tireless 

work in bringing the school back 

to our community. I understand 

that not everyone agrees that 

the school should be at Redcliffs 

Park but this decision was taken 

out of the school’s hand. It was 

either lose the school or have it 

at the park. A school is at the 

heart of a community, and I am 

so grateful that the decision was 

made to bring our school back. 

It is disappointing to see a small 

group of people trying to create 

division in our community 

regarding the new school, the 

decision has been many years 

coming, and now that it has 

been made, let’s look forward 

and put our support behind the 

people who have worked so hard 

to stop its closure. Thank you 

again Kim, Rose and the BOT 

for everything you have done. 

We all appreciate your hard work 

and dedication to bringing our 

school back. I am so looking 

forward to the day that I can 

look out my window and see and 

hear our Redcliffs children playing 

and having fun in their new 

school grounds. 

Brian Johnston – There are 

two main reasons for not building 

a new school at Redcliffs. 

It can only be funded by more 

debt. The proposed site is landfill. 

There are many more reasons, 

flooding and traffic jams. 

It will be too late after the school 

is built to learn that children are 

picking up infections through 

injury – a scratch is enough; 

there could be toxic gases rising 

from the landfill which could 

enter a classroom. Has the new 

site been thoroughly tested? 

(The answer is no). The new site 

should be checked and tested 

by a medical geologist who can 

evaluate health issues. Ruth 

Dyson has stated: “I have been 

through all the reports and cannot 

understand why the school 

is being moved.” After that 

profound statement she will not 

get involved. I visited her office 

and asked for her involvement – 

zilch.

Sumner play for Hawkins Plate 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE HAWKINS Plate now has 

Sumner’s full attention after 

their top six campaign ended 

with a 15-45 loss to Christchurch 

at St Leonards Park on Saturday. 

The result ended what was a 

disappointing run in the Hawkins 

Trophy after Sumner created 

history last month by qualifying 

for the top six for the first time. 

They qualified by finishing the 

round-robin in third position – 

their highest placing ever. 

Coming into the match against 

Christchurch, Sumner had 

no chance of making the top 

four. However, coach Martin 

Dodgson was hoping for a better 

performance against one of the 

competition’s top sides. 

“We made a lot of errors and 

they capitalised – they were 

ruthless,” said Dodgson. 

One positive to come from 

the match was the display from 

recent arrival, English lock Josh 

Hawkins. He has come to Sumner 

to get game time following 

an injury-ravaged season with 

English club Bristol. 

“He was really impressive 

. . . he made some big hits and 

carried the ball really well,” said 

Dodgson. 

With a standout performance 

coming from Hawkins, it was 

almost fitting that Sumner celebrated 

their annual internationals 

day on Saturday. 

Sumner have a strong history 

of embracing international players 

in their premier team and 

decided to celebrate their global 

culture over a cold beverage after 

the match. 

“It was great to celebrate the 

occasion with a class club like 

Christchurch,” said Dodgson. 

Sumner are now in the same 

spot they were 12 months ago, 

playing for the Hawkins Plate 

which is contested between the 

bottom two teams from the top 

six and top two teams from the 

bottom six. 

SPORTS 

FINAL PUSH: After missing 

out on a top four semi-final 

spot, Sumner will look to end 

their season on a high with a 

push for the Hawkins Plate. 

PHOTO: ROZELLE MAY 

They host Marist Albion at 

St Leonards on Saturday in the 

plate semi-final. 

Sumner took the honours 

36-27 when the two sides met in 

April. However, Marist finished 

top of the bottom six and have 

been in good form going unbeaten 

in their last six matches. 

The winner of the match will 

meet the winner of the other 

plate semi-final between University 

and High School Old Boys. 

Last year Sumner made the 

plate final before falling to 

New Brighton 17-19 at Rawhiti 

Domain. 

Bays develop talent at school holiday tournaments 

MUDDY WORK: The under-14 Cheetahs finished sixth in the 

Allan Fraser girls only tournament in Kaiapoi. 

THE FIRST week of the school 

holidays was mid-winter 

tournament time for Ferrymead 

Bays’ junior football teams. 

The club had a host of teams 

competing in two tournaments 

– the Christchurch International 

Cup at Christchurch United 

FC in Yaldhurst, and the Allan 

Fraser girls only tournament in 

Kaiapoi. 

In Yaldhurst, Bays teams competed 

in the under-9, under-10, 

under-11, under-12, under-13 

and under-14 grades. Although 

no medals were won, all teams 

did well and thoroughly enjoyed 

competing against about 16 

teams in each grade from 

around the South Island. 

The under-13 team had the 

best result for Bays finishing 

fourth. Both the under-14 and 

under-9 teams finished fifth. 

The under-10 team finished 10 th , 

the under-11’s were 11 th and the 

under-12’s 14 th . 

At Kendall Park, Kaiapoi, 

Bays were represented by the 

Kingfishers in the under-10 

grade and the Cheetahs in the 

under-14 grade. Both teams 

were there for development and 

finished sixth. 

There was also a personal honour 

for Kingfishers goalkeeper 

Kira Williams, who won the 

golden glove award. 

DEVELOPING: The under-10 Kingfishers also finished sixth in Kaiapoi.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has b en a proached in a bid to 

fina ly repair the potholes in New 

Brighton’s Hawke St car park. 

Coastal-Burw od Ward city 

counci lor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pre sure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

a se sment southern Da ren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a busine s or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised by 

Cr East abou the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an a se sment visi to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks a propriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burw od 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the bi gest i sue 

in the past has b en ge ting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and ge ting them to 

agr e to anything. “The board 

a preciates that multi-ownership 

of the parking space may present 

a difficulty in co-ordinating 

repair/resurfacing but felt obliged 

to pa s these concerns onto you,” 

said the le ter. 

One reply has b en received so 

far from an owner who is wi ling 

to discu s the i sue. However, a l 

the owners would have to agr e 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had b en 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves whic had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always though that it 

has b en quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious a cidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tri ping in those potholes and 

doing themselve some damage.” 

He is confiden the new 

a proach wi l bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are l oking for.”

THE PAPANUI-I nes 

Community Board has taken the 

rare step of starting a petition 

to figh the city council over 

funding. 

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community 

facility in Shirley. 

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre 

pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the 

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This 

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly 

damaged in the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. 

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stan down, citing it as her “die 

in the ditch” project. 

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act 

as advocate for the interests of its 

community and this is what we 

are doing. The LTP and a nual 

plans are a l about lo bying the 

council.”

sign-off 

this week 


THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a settlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffere damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”

international competition. 

New World Fe ry Rd butcher 

Jeremy Garth and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently 

came second a the World 

Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern 

Ireland. 

It was the firs time Mr Garth 

had competed in the cha lenge 

and he was “rea ly proud” of 

how the team performed. 

“We produced some top quality 

products and came away 

with a g od result so we’re very 

ha py,” he said. 

The preparation for this year’s 

World Butchers’ Cha lenge was 

intense as the team members 

met in Auckland every two 

months for lengthy w ekend 

practices. 

Mr Garth, who has b en a 

butcher for 14 years, said the 

competition brought back his 

pa sion for the job. 

“Doing a l thi stuff and 

m eting new people, s eing new 

ideas, it just brings that flair 

back for you,” he said. 

Mr Gart hopes t own a 

butcher shop of his own someday 

but says for now he wi l focus 

on ge ting mor experience 

and on the 2020 cha lenge. 

“In two years’ time, we’ l be

The district council wi l be

A hearing i scheduled to be

The bylaw comes as an increasing

In the past year, the district 

council has received five inquiries 

about se ting up a mobile busine s

Pupils learn about role of war horses 

GR ENDALE SCHOOL pupils

The New Zealand Mounted 

Rifles Charitable Trust president 

Mark A pleton and member 

Mike Donaldson t ok their

in a bid to educate pupils on the 

sacrifice their ancestors made in 

World War 1 and World War 2. 

Mr A pleton and Mr Donaldson 

a rived a the sch ol dre sed 

in World War 1 uniforms while 

their horses Tommy and Kruze 

wore 1 0-year-old sa dles donated 

to the trust. 

The presentation is a prelude 

to the Gr endale Recreation Reserve 

Management Commi t e’s 

upcoming Anzac Day service. 

As a tribute to those who 

served, members of the trust wi l 

ride horseback to the service. 

Mr A pleton said it was 

important children were 

educated on what soldiers 

wen through during World 

War 1 and World War 2. 

But he said the presentation 

didn’t go into t o much detail 

and was more of a “show and

the soldiers l oked like. 

Children were shown the type 

of kits horses were required to 

wear in the war.

AN U PER Ri carton butcher 

has proven himself to be a cut 

above his Au sie rivals at an 

international competition. 

Elite Meats owner Corey 

Winder was named in the a l 

star team a the World Butchers’ 

Cha lenge in Northern Ireland. 

Mr Winder and his team, the 

Pure South Sharp Blacks, which 

includes W olston butcher 

Jeremy Garth, finished second 

in the competition. 

He said the cha lenge started 

as a “transtasman test match” 

seven years ago. 

The preparation for this 

year’s World Butchers’ Challenge 

was intense as the team 

members met in Auckland 

every two months for lengthy 

w ekend practices. Mr Winder 

said coming second against 1 

other countries was a “fantastic” 

result. 

“To get second behind Ireland 

was a huge achievement and to 

be ahead of Australia is an 

even bi ger thing for us,” he 

said. 

But Mr Winder admires the 

Australian team. 

“Those guys over there 

[Australia] are on top of their 

game, they do a g od job,” he 

said. 

“And it just showcases that 

New Zealand has got some 

of the best butchers in the 

world,” he said. 

Mr Winder has b en a butcher

for a resource consen to create a 

qua ry. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

told Western News the submi sion 

would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s 

plan. 

“You can just about guarant e 

it . because we [the community 

board] don’t believe qua ries 

should be so close to residential 

areas,” he said. 

Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if 

the city council would endorse the 

board’ submi sion. 

“I’d like to think so because the 

city council has had their eyes 

open as we l ove recent years over 

the crysta line silica risk,” he said. 

Mr Mora said the community 

board wi l be “representing and 

advocating” for the Templeton 

community.

IT COULD be some time before 

charges are laid in relation to the 

fatal hit-and-run in Dallington. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Greg 

Cottam said yesterday the vehicle 

involved in the crash last week 

was still being examined. 

He said there was still a lot of 

work to do to gather all the information 

and finish police inquiries 

before any charges would be laid. 

“They can take some time,” he 

said. 

“We’ve got six months to lay 

charges in relation to traffic offending 

– it certainly won’t take 

that long.” 

Steffan Pearce- 

Loe (right), 30, was 

hit by a vehicle 

near the Gayhurst 

Rd bridge while 

walking his dogs at 

about 2.30am last 

Thursday. 

He died in hospital 

from his injuries on Friday. 

His funeral was held on Tuesday. 

Police found the vehicle 

involved, which had damage 

consistent with the crash, on Saturday. 

A detective saw it parked 

up a driveway. 

The vehicle’s owner, who was 

driving, has been interviewed by 

police. 

Detective Senior Sergeant Cottam 

remained tight-lipped about 

the driver. •Turn to page 6

Huia 


Huia Sinclair-Parker, 10, was at 

Willowbank Wildlife Reserve 

for Kidfest’s ‘Junior Keeper 

for the Day’ programme 

yesterday when Neo 

swooped in. 

Having Neo, the kea, on her 

shoulder was exciting, “but 

scary at the same time.” 

“It jumped on me from behind 

and gave me a surprise. They 

have sharp claws that dug 

into my shoulders.” 

Children aged from 10-13 are 

working with Willowbank 

keepers during the holidays.
