Easement
granted to
discharge
watewater
A LAND developer has been
granted an easement to discharge
wastewater as part of a 8092m 2
subdivision plan in Duvauchelle.
The developer of 21-23 Pawsons
Valley Rd has applied for
consent to subdivide the land
into smaller residential plots.
The developer will need to
discharge sewage and stormwater
into the existing city council
pipes that run alongside the eastern
boundary of the Akaroa golf
course which sits on reserve land.
Consent for the subdivision is
on hold, and the city council said
it will be up to the developer to
restart the process.
Because it is reserve land, a city
council resolution was required
to delegate the authority to the
Bank Peninsula Community
Board to grant the easement.
The golf course leasee has
given consent.
Another condition of the easement
means the developer must
pay $30,000 to the city council
“for the privilege of gaining an
encumbrance on the council’s
title.”
Ferrymead Rotary keeps kids healthy

Crooks writes
about how
the charity
is helping
Bromley School children to
live healthy
Climbing: Bromley principal Scott Kinley giving a pupil some
climbing tips.
AS A teacher, Scott Kinley
knows the value of leading by
example.
So when some of his pupils
earned themselves a trip to
Christchurch’s climbing wall,
the Bromley School principal
needed little encouragement
to show how it’s done on the
school’s small-scale wall.
Eight children bound for the
YMCA climbing wall achieved
the highest reward in the
Healthy Heroes programme
at Bromley School. The programme,
the second sponsored
at the school by Ferrymead
Rotary, involved 50 pupils working
to achieve five challenges for
five days over nine weeks. They
received rewards at the end of
the third and sixth weeks. The
eight climbers-in-waiting met
all five challenges.
All the children in the group
learned about the healthy habits
taught, and can recite the challenges
and activities they did to
achieve the rewards. They talk
about how they not only did
their exercise at school, but also
managed all sorts of activity at
home.
Walking the dog was a
favourite, as was walking the
neighbours’ dogs which not only
meets the ‘exercise and being
active’ challenge but also the
challenge of helping others. The
children spoke about how they
enjoyed playing checkers and
other board games at home with
the family rather than watching
TV. They discovered that
stretching their minds could
be fun too. Getting enough
sleep was an easy challenge for
most of them. Eating well and
including three vegetables and
two fruits each day gives them
a chance to try vegetables they
hadn’t tried before.
The new Healthy Heroes website
provided the children with
new ideas on how to achieve the
challenges and has tips and links
to other sites.
Healthy Heroes, a Rotary New
Zealand programme, has been
running in some Christchurch
schools for almost 10 years. The
programme brings together
children, schools, families and
communities, with the aim
of building lasting habits to
prevent obesity and type-two
diabetes.
