SELWYN TIMES Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday August 8 2018 15 News Dame Patsy visits Selwyn GOVERNOR-GENERAL Dame Patsy Reddy and husband Sir David Gascoigne visited the district on Wednesday. They were taken on a tour of key sites about Te Waihora/Lake Ellesmere, starting at Ngāti Moki Marae at Taumutu and finishing at Lincoln University’s Ashley Dene Research and Development Station. Environment Canterbury councillor Tom Lambie said the visit represented an excellent opportunity to showcase all the good work happening on the ground around the lake, and research activity at the university. “Their Excellencies saw Te Waihora first hand and the work being done to restore the mauri of the lake,” Mr Lambie said. “There was a presentation by one of the Ngāi Tahu Co- Governors, Liz Brown, who gave an overview of Te Waihora and the catchment in terms of the vision for the lake and plans for restoration of its mauri.” This was followed by a stop at Orariki Wetland, a two-yearold created wetland designed to improve water quality, biodiversity and mahinga kai. Further on, at Lower Lake Rd near Fisherman’s Point, there was discussion about farming within the Cultural Landscape Values Management Area, a particularly sensitive area near the lake. Hart’s Creek, a well-known restoration site contributed to by many farmers and other community members for more than a decade, was the final stopping point before Lincoln University. At the Ashley Dene Research and Development Station, they heard a series of presentations on communities working together for better water outcomes and innovation for the agriculture, tourism and conservation sectors, with particular emphasis VISITING: Governor- General Dame Patsy Reddy and husband Sir David Gascoigne at Orariki Wetland with Co-Governor Liz Brown. on environmental protection within managed landscapes. “Everything we saw is a crucial part of the Canterbury story,” Mr Lambie concluded. “We are very privileged to have the opportunity to present it in this way to Their Excellencies and show them the good progress we are making,” he said.

Southern Screenworks, based in Aylesbury near Darfield, won the Gold Award at the MIMICO Environment and Community Awards recently.

It was to provide more than 100,000 cu m of materials to build the new $52 million wharf for the Chatham Islands. “They were working 800km from mainland New Zealand and their success was highly dependent on community relations – given it was a single project quarry.” After the wharf was completed, the Ohinemama quarry was fully restored to farmland. The other Canterbury winner was Fulton Hogan for growing and saving endangered indigenous plants with multiple partners.
