2 Tuesday September 18 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk WE’VE GOT a profile on that somewhat controversial figure in David East (pages 6-7). It ran in The Star (the big boy of our newspaper stable) but it would have been remiss not to also publish it in East’s local paper. City councillors and other politicians are often targets for the media. In many cases it is totally justified. I’m often heard around the office wondering why some public figures won’t put their proverbials on the line when it comes to significant community issues. So it was refreshing when East and others put their heads out of the trench over the District Plan matter that landed them in hot water. But it’s worked. There will be an independent inquiry over the matter. - Barry Clarke GENERAL ENQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi your local views Well-being and creativity Find out what’s going on in the Te Kura Tawhito hub at the old Central New Brighton School site.

PEGASUS POST Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday September 18 2018 3 News Community spirit triumphs • By Sophie Cornish and Georgia O’Connor-Harding ACTION TAKEN to get a missing clause back into the city’s District Plan has been applauded by the Southshore Residents’ Association. The city council unanimously voted and requested urgency on the matter so that the city’s District Plan could be David East amended last Thursday. Councillor David East landed himself in hot water when he alleged the omission of a discretionary rule in the city council’s High Flood Hazard Management Area policy was against the intentions of the replacement District Plan independent hearing’s panel. Without the discretionary rule known as the enable clause residents are finding it almost impossible to build or extend their properties within the High Flood Hazard Management Area, Cr East and Burwood-Coastal Community Board members Tim Sintes and Kim Money faced council disciplinary action over their outspoken views. A meeting with council chiefs on Thursday to discuss the matter was adjourned. Their stand, though, led to huge support from people in the eastern suburbs. Mayor Lianne Dalziel who was one of the instigators of the disciplinary proceedings, has now led an independent inquiry into the omission of the discretionary rule. Southshore Residents’ Association chairwoman Lynda Burdekin said the independent inquiry was welcomed. “It is not something that is going to happen overnight. We will be watching the process with interest and hoping the Government and city council get something done promptly,” she said. Last Tuesday more than 300 people attended a public meeting at the New Brighton Club. They decided to support Cr East, Mr Sintes’ and Ms Money’s stand. A motion passed at the meeting fully supported their actions and also stated the meeting strongly objected to the code of conduct complaints and request they be withdrawn. PROGRESS: The Southshore Residents Association is pleased a notice of motion has been made by the city council to have a missing clause in the city’s district plan put back in. It also called for the Christchurch Coastal Residents’ United group to write on its behalf jointly, to the Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, Minister of Local Government Nanaia Mahuta and Minister of the Greater Christchurch Regeneration Megan Woods. The letter would advise that they fully support the efforts of the elected members and request an independent inquiry and subsequent reinstatement on the relevant clause. •Profile on David East, pages 6 & 7 Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk SECURITY REMINDER Police are reminding the public to securely lock and remove valuables from their cars as the weather begins to warm up. New Brighton Senior Constable Shane Thompson said there will be a lot more people using the wetlands, walkways and beaches as a result. “If you are out and about make sure your vehicles are parked in areas where there is a lot of public access,” he said. Constable Thompson said police do tend to notice a spike in car break- ins over the summer. RICHMOND MAINTENANCE Council staff are continuing work on the maintenance programme for Richmond and developing a clear understanding of the requirements for the work to be done. Both the capital team and the maintenance team have been working closely together to ensure that resources are maximised. Maintenance work has been carried out in the area including clearing sumps, sweeping and channel clearing. This has resulted in reduced incidences of flooding in Crystal, Randall, Petrie, Warden, Dudley and Slater streets in recent rain events. Staff are working on the development of a regular newsletter to the community and the Papanui-Innes Community Board to ensure everyone is well informed.
