No plans
to bring
parking
meters to
Brighton
– council
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THERE ARE no plans to
put parking meters into New
Brighton.
The city council has assured
it won’t happen after an
online backlash caused by a
misunderstanding. A storm of
complaints were made on the
Peoples Independent Republic
of New Brighton Facebook
page after a city council map
was misinterpreted to mean the
area would get parking meters.
The map was part of its draft
suburban car parking policy.
City council head of planning
and strategic transport David
Griffiths said it has no plans to
bring meters in.
“It is correct we are reviewing
how to manage suburban
parking across the city, but the
introduction of on-street parking
charges would only be considered
if an area is having significant
parking issues,” he said.
Mr Griffiths said the city
council does not consider New
Brighton to have parking issues.

THAT’S ONE very familiar (albeit a bit
grizzled – sorry Garry!) face on page 1
today.
Garry Bombay is an institution when it
comes to policing in the eastern suburbs,
and more specifically in the Brighton area.
We report on his new role at the New Brighton station.
He’s grown up with a couple of generations of people – the
good and the bad, and those who do silly and stupid things and
step over the line, but then get back on track fairly quickly. No
doubt with some fairly straight forward police advice.
The fact Garry’s been based at one suburban station for
nearly 40 years suggests he’s done a pretty good job for the
community.

Improvements likely for bus hub
• By Julia Evans
MORE THAN $1 million has
been earmarked for a bus hub
and safety improvements outside
Eastgate Mall.
The money has been moved
from the balance of funding for
safety improvements from the
Buckleys Rd, Linwood Ave and
Aldwins Rd intersection following
the release of the Linwood-
Eastgate Area
Integrated
Transport
Study.
City councillor
Sara
Templeton said
people heading
Yani
Johanson
through the bus
stop “deserve
better” than its
current state
when the plan was approved during
Thursday’s council meeting.
“For many years we have
heard from the Linwood community
that the bus facilities on
Buckleys Rd are not appropriate.
It is the third busiest suburban
bus interchange in the city.”
However, Peter Jasper told
the city council residents along
the stretch of Buckleys Rd near
the bus stop found accessing to
their properties difficult due to
frequency of buses.
“It would be irresponsible
to spend ratepayer money on
more,” he said.
Mr Jasper said putting in a
de facto bus hub lacked “any
shred of commonsense and
common decency” towards
home owners and residents.
The bus stops in front of
Eastgate cater up to 30 buses
per hour and board up to 1500
passengers per day, rivalling
Northlands Shopping Centre.
Linwood Ward city councillor
Yani Johanson also questioned
whether taking the funding
from the intersection safety
improvement was the right thing
to do.
“The issue here is that we are
robbing a safety intersection
improvement that we publicly
consulted on during out LTP to
pay for a public transport hub
where there is still not a clear
idea about what that public
transport hub will look like.”
However, city council staff
said the safety improvements
had been completed and the $1.1
million was leftover.
Cr Johanson would not
support moving the funding
without public consultation
or before Environment
SAFETY: $1.1
million has
been set aside
for a new bus
hub outside
Eastgate Mall.
Canterbury’s Regional Public
Transport Plan had been
released as it could impact the
Eastgate area.
Staff said there was work that
could be done that “would not
be undone” following the plan’s
release and other construction
would not be done before the
plan was finalised.
“There is still a need for the
pedestrian crossing and other
safety measures to be undertaken
like tactiles, etc.”
First on the upgrade schedule
is a signalised crossing between
bus stops on Buckleys Rd, staff
said.

No pay parking plans in Brighton
•From page 1
The concerns were raised
after the city council approved
its draft suburban car parking
policy for public consultation.
The city council is reviewing
parking management,
particularly on-street parking,
to help prioritise public space.
In the report on the draft
policy, there was a map of the
city labelled “suburban areas
with high on-street parking
demand and time limit
restrictions”.
New Brighton, Hornby,
Lyttelton and Papanui,
along with shopping areas
in Riccarton, Merivale, near
the airport and Canterbury
University, were shown as key
activity centres for this.
The map prompted New
Brighton residents to believe
the suburb would get parking
meters.
Complaints on the Facebook
page included “stupidest idea
I have ever heard”; “what a
bloody joke”; and “right fellow
Brightarions . . . prepare for
battle!”.
But Mr Griffiths said the
map illustrated areas where
time limit restrictions (p60
and p120) had already been
introduced and therefore may
have indicated where there is
demand for parking.
“The map does not identify
areas where parking meters are
proposed,” he said.
Guardians of Rawhiti
co-founder Cathy Baker,
who made the original post
online, said she was happy
there were no plans to put
meters in.
NO COST: The city council has quelled concerns that it
planned to introduce parking charges in New Brighton.

Palmers Rd design approved
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A LONG “drawn-out” process
has led to final designs to
upgrade Palmers Rd.
The Coastal -Burwood Community
Board has made several
changes to designs which will
see Palmers Rd (Bowhill Rd /
New Brighton Rd) narrowed to
10m to make it safer.
The road
has been a
concern for
residents with
12 crashes
reported
between 2005
and 2016.
About 20
David East
residents
attended the
board meeting last week expressing
their concerns over the
new design.
The plan will include new kerb
alignments, landscaping, surface
treatments, parking restrictions
and line markings.
The board decided the intersection
of New Brighton and
Palmers Rd including the traffic
island will remain as it is.
It also decided to narrow the
Palmers/Bowhill Rd intersection
to 10m wide as oppose to staff
recommendation of 9m.
Deputy chairman Tim Sintes
said it has been “quite a drawnout”
issue with there having to
be several meetings with city
council staff before reaching a
compromise.
“It hasn’t pleased everybody
but I think it has pleased the
majority,” he said.
City councillor David East
said he would have preferred
Palmers Rd to be 12m.
“We got 10m which is a bit
of a compromise but my own
personal thought is it is still a bit
narrow,” he said.
He said Palmers Rd should
not be listed as a local road in
the city’s district plan as it is the
main exit from North Beach to
New Brighton Rd.
“Particularly when we
are talking about tsunami
evacuation and earthquake
evacuation having a really
narrow road was going to be a
disaster,” he said.
Board member Tim Baker
said city council planner staff
SAFETY:

Burwood
Community
Board has

got it right the first time.
The staff recommendation was
to narrow Palmers Rd to 9m.
“You think you need 10m to
turn around a corner. What a
load or rubbish, 9m is plenty,”
Mr Baker said.
His vote was recorded against
having the road narrowed to
10m.

Desk job for long-serving cop
•From page 1
After a short stint in
Wellington and Christchurch
central, Senior Constable
Bombay was shifted out to New
Brighton.
“You choose a career, you stick
at it, and before you know it the
time sneaks up on you,” he said.
Senior Constable Bombay
said he has always liked the
east side of
the city and
there are good
people in New
Brighton, which
is why he has
stayed there so
long.
“Why do
Garry Bombay
people keep the
same old cars?
It is what you are comfortable
with. You know the issues, you
know the people, you make your
contacts, it is good,” he said.
But Senior Constable Bombay
doesn’t think much has changed
in the suburb since he first
started out.
“Same crime, different time, is
what I say . . . every area has its
own characters who come to
your attention on a regular basis.
New Brighton has their share but
they are good people at heart,”
he said.
CHALLENGING: Senior Constable Garry Bombay’s career has included the 1981 Springbok tour
and searching for murdered Ashburton teenager Kirsty Bentley.
He said the most important
part of his role is to “treat
others how you would like to be
treated.”
“It doesn’t matter if they are on
the other side of the law or not,”
he said.
After 41 years in the police,
Senior Constable Bombay has
seen significant events.
He had been in the job four
years when he worked in crowd
control as part of the 1981
Springbok tour – where New
Zealand police were armed with
batons and helmets for the first
time in the country’s history to
control protesters.
“I don’t really hold any strong
political views myself. I had to do
what my job was and uphold the
law as directed at the time
. . . you protected the supporters
of the tour as well as the
protesters,” Senior Constable
Bombay said.
He said he did not think there
would be anywhere else in the
world where the country’s whole
police got together and worked
as one.
“We were just transported
from one part of the country to
the next for every sort of protest
that was going on . . . it was
quite an experience for a young
policeman in those days.”
THe February 22, 2011,
earthquake “was a big
moment’’ for Senior Constable
Bombay.
He had to deal with his own
home in Dallington destroyed,
and the grim police work that
followed the deadly quake.
For three months following
the earthquake he was involved
in body recovery and victim
identification.
“It was a big moment in our
lives . . . but that is part of our
job, you get conditioned to that
over the years,” he said.
Not only has Senior Constable
Bombay worked in community
policing, about a year ago he
retired from his role of a logistics
manager for the police’s search
and rescue squad.
He was involved in the
squad for about 30 years and
assisted the CIB on homicides
including searching for murdered
Ashburton teenager Kirsty
Bentley.
Senior Constable Bombay
said although it has been a high
demanding job, there has been
some cases where people have
gone missing and been found
alive and well.
“THat is always a great success
story,” he said.
Senior Constable Bombay has
also used his role in the police to
help the wider community.
In 2009, he arranged for
New Brighton police to cycle
from the West Coast to the city
to help the former Central New
Brighton School raise about
$15,000 to keep its swimming
pool open.
“THat made the pool very
financial, they had money to
spare but then the earthquake
came along and kicked us in the
guts. It is gone now,” he said.

Woolston Fire Station opened
THE NEW Woolston Fire
Station has been officially
opened, it is the third of six
stations to be rebuilt.
Fire and Emergency chairman
Paul Swain, who opened
the station, said the February
22, 2011, earthquake devastated
the city’s fire stations.
“This modern station is
another step in redeveloping
the metropolitan city’s entire
network of fire stations.”
The new Woolston station
was built on the site of the
former station at a total cost of
$6.9 million. More than 900
piles were driven in to strengthen
the site, which is 1.2m higher
than it was before.
It features two appliance
bays, six single bedrooms, a
gym, kitchen and lounge and
purpose-built dirty-to-clean
zones.
There, firefighters could bag
smoke-contaminated gear in a
negative pressure environment
before showering to prevent
carcinogen transfer into clean
living and work areas.
The station also has a vehicle
fume management system, a
hose that connects to vehicle
exhausts, so the appliance bay
would not fill with fumes from
appliances coming and going.
The Woolston crew moved
back to the station in mid-June,
before work was completed.
Fire and Emergency
Christchurch metro area
manager Dave Stackhouse
said the rebuild programme
“represents a significant
organisational investment.”
“[it] has provided us with a
unique opportunity to build

Help out a

SOUTHSHORE families will
come together to build new nests
for penguins.
The Southshore Residents’

event on October 20, which aims
to teach families about penguin
habitats in the area.
Last week the Coastal-Burwood
Community Board granted $1000
from its discretionary response
fund to go towards the project.
The building of the nests will be
led by city council coastal rangers,
while New Brighton Menz Shed
members will pre-cut the wood.
Residents’ association
chairwoman Lynda Burdekin
hopes it will encourage
more penguins to nest in the
area.
The event will be held from
10am-2pm at the South Brighton
Community Centre on Beatty St
and will include a community
picnic.
Older children will be involved
in building the nesting boxes,
while there will be a range of
penguin-focused activities for
younger children.

better. What else could be done?
Some suggestions that could be
discussed:
1. Building plans could be donated
to a housing trust website
where they would be available for
anyone to use. The city council
would only need to check the
recession planes, foundation
requirements and outdoor living.
This must save costs.
2. Make minor residential units
and family flats more affordable
to build. A unit can be built on
a large percentage of existing
properties in the city. Lower the
contribution fees – currently
they are $13,000 upwards. Lower
the cost of consents. Why does
decking 2km from the beach
need to have stainless screws and
fittings? That’s 33 cents each for
screws.
3. A minor residential unit and
family flat (second smaller house/
flat) say 36m 2 could be built for
about $80,000 in total, with help

from the city council by reducing
its fees and sharing building
plans. A condition could be that,
if it is rented, the rent would be
capped. This would be good for
the city council, as the affordable
housing shortage in the city
would lessen.
4. The establishment of a
smaller dwelling construction
company working with the city
council would be economical as
a business.
5. Why does an engineer and
a building inspector have to
inspect foundations at the same
time at twice the cost? If a foundation
for the worst section on
TC3 land is designed, then do we
need foundations’ designed for
every plan? Let’s make smaller
housing simple and affordable to
build.
A reader responds to the
article about the closure
of the New Brighton
Beachside Playground due
to an upgrade over the
school holidays
Gary
Knight – In
spite of possible
opposition to the
closure during
a school holiday
period, it is a
positive and
pro-active move.
Development
Christchurch
Ltd’s upgrades to this venue,
including mini tramps, spinning
toys, seating and wind buffers,
if completed by the second week
of the holidays, would ensure a
modern facility for the benefit of
many in the summer months.
A reader responds to the
article about the cleaning
regime at New Brighton
Pier
UNPOPULAR:
The behaviour of
some anglers on
New Brighton Pier
continues to cause
issues.
Caron O’Connor – I don’t
like people fishing on the pier at
New Brighton as they take over
the whole end bit (even though
there’s markings on the concrete
telling them to keep clear for
sightseers). So based
on this, I feel they
have a lack of respect
for others and need to
be banned from the
pier.
I don’t fish and
find the atmosphere,
the smell, even
the rough attitude
of the fishermen
horrible. When I
walk on the pier, my goal is to
enjoy the pleasant atmosphere
and reach the end of the pier
and look out to sea. But it is
dominated by uncouth fishing
people, and yes it does make me
mad, because why should they
take-over the pier when it is for
the public? They seem to think it
is theirs.
That’s my impression, for what
it’s worth.
Plan for red zone close to release
• By Julia Evans
THE DRAFT plan for the future
of the red zone is expected to be
made public before the end of
the year.
In its quarterly report, Regenerate
Christchurch revealed the
draft Otakaro Avon River Corridor
Regeneration Plan would be
made public by late-December.
“Regenerate Christchurch advises
the draft Regeneration Plan
is forecast to be publicly notified
between mid-November and
late-December,” the report said.
Once released and public feedback
gathered, the draft plan will
then be approved by Minister for
Greater Christchurch Regeneration
Megan Woods before it is
finalised.
It comes after The Star
revealed Regenerate had spent
nearly $500,000 on the exhibition
used to gather public
feedback which will develop the
draft plan.
“There are always costs involved
with public engagement
but, given the scale and longterm
significance of our work,
we believe this investment is
important to ensure our work is
informed by the views and aspirations
of the community,” chief
executive Ivan Iafeta said.
He said the five-week
exhibition and engagement was
one of the “most significant”
public engagements since the
earthquakes.
The money was spent on interactive
displays, the design and
printing of the panels, lease and
fit-out of the exhibition space
in Cashel St, an online version
of the exhibition, the travelling
exhibition, printing and advertising,
project management, and
ambassadors.
It is estimated developing the
red zone would cost $800 million
over 30 years.
That includes $153 million for
the 11km green spine, which
emerged as the favourite option
from the exhibition. The red
zone is expected to bring billions
of dollars in to the economy.
REVEAL: Regenerate Christchuch’s draft plan for the future
of the red zone will be released in November or December.

ECan in bid to recover yacht removal costs
• By Sophie Cornish
IT TOOK five hours and $5000
to remove a yacht stranded on
New Brighton beach.
At 3am on Wednesday, Environment
Canterbury, city council
and a team from Protranz
Earthmoving Ltd began dismantling
the yacht.
The yacht ran aground on
September 12, when it’s former
owner Sean Grant jumped overboard,
after it is believed he ran
out of fuel.
The job, which was done early
due to tide conditions and fewer
people being on the beach, took
five hours to complete.
ECan zone manager Christchurch
West Melton Banks Peninsula
Steve Firth said the removal
came after several attempts to
have the owner of the yacht arrange
its removal, which didn’t
happen.
Previously, Mr Grant attempted
to sell the yacht ‘as is, where is’
on Facebook Marketplace with
an asking price of $1.
It is not clear who the new
owner is.
Said Mr Firth: “The owner attempted
to sell the yacht, which
led to confusion as to who the
legal owner was with a few people
all claiming to own it. It was
important to clarify who legally
owned it, as the removal of the
boat and associated cost, which is
about $5000, is the responsibility
of the boat owner.”
ECan has paid for the cost of
the removal and are in discussions
with the owner over this.
Delaying the removal was no
longer an option, said Mr Firth,
as it was a health and safety
risk to the public and had the
potential to result in adverse
environmental effects.
“We were conscious that if it

stayed there any longer it might
break up, which is potentially
hazardous for anyone on the
beach,” said Mr Firth.
The yacht was then taken
to Kate Valley to be disposed
of.
Interim operations manager at
Protranz Earthmoving Brendan
Webber said about eight staff
were needed to pull apart the
yacht.

RICHMOND’S ELLA Warren
thought the Christchurch Art
Gallery was a pretty cool place
to be during the school holidays.
And that’s because the St
Albans Catholic Primary School
pupil wanted to paint some masterpieces
of her own.
From now until Sunday –
along with Labour Day weekend
– anyone can go into the space
and pick up a paintbrush to help
create a massive piece of public
art on the Art Gallery’s walls.
Titled Wall to Wall, the event
presents the opportunity to be
involved in a “colossal public
paint-out” of one of the downstairs
galleries.
“This is where the art starts,”
acting Art Gallery director Amy
Harrington said.
Ms Harrington said the next
famous work that would be
hanging in the art gallery in 20
years could be done by some of
the young artists decorating the
walls today.
The art gallery was painting
over the four walls every day to
make space for new creations.
“So everyone gets their chance
to paint,” she said.
The space was proving so
popular, Ms Harrington said
there are lines out the door most
mornings.
The exhibition is open from
11am to 4pm every day.
“We are encouraging everyone
to grab a brush and bring your
perspective to this special art
space,” Ms Harrington said.
“We aim to create an immersive
gallery where everyone – no
matter your age – can take a collaborative
approach to art.”
The work comes in conjunction
with the opening of SCAPE

season, which opened on Friday

Age is no barrier to city cycling
Fire rages, homes at risk
EACH DAY in Christchurch
thousands of people use bicycles
for their commute, for fitness,
or just for fun. An increasing
number of those people are of
advancing years.
St Albans retiree Jean Bell
returned to cycling last year after
a long period without a bike. “I
was encouraged to try an e-bike,
and I was soon hooked on it,”
she said.
“It’s just so handy,” Jean explained.
“I’m surprised by how far I can
cycle when in the car the same
distance feels like a long way.’’
Visiting friends, attending
meetings, hairdresser and doctor
appointments – Jean travels to
them all by bike.
“It’s much easier to park my
bike than park the car,” she said.
“Now, driving with just one
person in my car feels decadent;
a bit naughty.”
The city’s geography
lends itself to getting around by
bike.
“Unlike Wellington or Auckland,
in Christchurch you have
a choice – cycle on the flat or
test yourself on the Port Hills,”
explains Julie Milne, who recently
cycled the length of New
Zealand to raise awareness of
stroke sufferers.
Julie rides to work year-round
on her modified bicycle; two
childhood strokes left her with
restricted arm movement.
“Cycling is my physical upkeep,”
she said.
“It improves my quality of getting
older. If I don’t bike, I seize
up, which then means I can’t
bike. So, I keep biking.”
Julie will be sharing her experiences
at the NZ Bike Expo
(Saturday and Sunday).
This cornerstone event of
the Biketober festival is where
cyclists of all ages can gather to
celebrate the cycle.
“The expo brings the cycling
industry and the Christchurch
community together,” said event
organiser Krissy O’Connor.
“It places cycling events, test
rides, and community groups
alongside commercial exhibitors.
It’s a very hands-on weekend of
everything bike-related.”
For Christchurch residents
who perhaps haven’t explored
much of the new-look central
city, Saturday’s Pedal into Spring
extravaganza of Biketober offers
twelve themed, self-guided rides
to choose from. Cafés, shops,
playgrounds, art, a family treasure
hunt – there’s a route for all ages.
“If you haven’t been on a bike
for a while,” says Julie Milne,
“start on a cycleway and go from
there. You’re safe. Cycling is
lovely.”

Young footballers reach
tournament semi-final
• By Jacob Page
THE COASTAL Spirit 11th
grade football team finished
third at their South Island
tournament in Nelson last week.
The team won six games, drew
one and lost one during their
campaign.
They drew against eventual
winners Nelson White 1-1 in
pool-play before losing 1-0 to
Nomads in the semi-final thanks
to a penalty.
The team scored 28 goals and
conceded just five in pool-play.
Coach Alistair Sim said the
team played to their strengths.
“We aren’t a big team so we
had to rely on our accurate
passing and technical skill on
the ball,” he said.
“We tried not to concede
corners and stay away from that
physical style of game.
“Defensively, I was really
happy with how the team
went as we had to keep our
composure, particularly in the
play-off games.”
Sim said many of the team
have played together for the past
two seasons and previously won
the International Cup together.
“That familiarity helped get
the team on track,” he said.
“We had expectations of
finishing near the pointy-end of
the 24-team tournament, and
perhaps if things had gone our
way we would have won.”
Sim said the aim was to give
the players the best possible
pathway to play mainland
premier league football in the
coming years.
“They’re a very talented bunch
of boys so if we can bring them
through the club, we should have
some good first team players in
the coming years.”

New full-time Tech jobs
created in NZ in the last year
*2017 TIN report
Looking for a career change? Tech is New Zealand’s third-largest export sector
and is growing fast, with over 9000 new jobs expected to be created over the
next two years*. To fuel this growth, NZ needs more people with a grounding
in tech to meet the rapid expansion within this exciting and varied area, which
crosses into many industries.

The SHIFT programme
#TechIsWhereItsAt
@SIGNALICT
SHIFT is an innovative industry-driven programme for those who are seeking a new career path who may not have a
tech background. Open to degree holders in any discipline, SHIFT learners have come from diverse backgrounds such
as medicine, philosophy, sociology, commerce, geography, marketing, engineering and humanities. Available in both
Christchurch and Dunedin, this one-year programme offers relevant and current content skills to ensure you are well
equipped to work within the tech area, where the skills you have learnt in previous work and study are highly valued.
Graduates outcome to date include an 85% employment rate.

Tech jobs exist in every industry,
from aviation to zoology.
Combine ANY DEGREE
with the innovative SHIFT
programme and kickstart your
new career today.
SHIFT uses immersive studio-based learning and real-world industry experience to produce graduates with a solid
base of core computing skills, as well as communication and employability skills required in today’s collaborative
workplaces. SHIFT includes several opportunities to meet and work with local tech industry employers, and includes
industry visits, group projects designed and
mentored by industry, and a 200-hour industry
placement, where you work within the organisation
on a curated project to add value to your host, and
to showcase your capabilities.
Opportunities
With tech roles existing in nearly every area from
aviation to zoology, career possibilities are extensive.
Through the SHIFT programme, learners can focus
on software design and development, or allied
roles, such as business analyst, data scientist, web
designer, project manager, user experience designer,
technical writer, sales and client support . . . and the
list goes on.
Diversity of background and experiences is
welcomed in the tech sector. It is strongly recognised that it takes many viewpoints to best design products that meet
customer requirements, and tech firms are actively recruiting to address gender and ethnic imbalances across their
employees.
The next SHIFT intake commences Feb 2019 and scholarships are available.
Call SIGNAL today on 0800 990 024 and start your shift into NZ’s fastest-growing sector.
SHIFT
2017
SIGNAL’s SHIFT programme transitions graduates
from any discipline into tech. Many new and mature
graduates are considering tech as a viable and lucrative
career option, and this is increasing as the range
of roles within tech becomes more widely known.

Isaac’s Story
With a Masters in Geology and 10 years experience
working in the mining industry, Isaac re-assessed his
career goals, wanting a career that was more flexible
and portable.
“I saw the SHIFT programme as an exciting opportunity
to add specific tech skills to my knowledge base, so
I can translate those skills into a new career.” For his
industry project, Isaac worked with Stantec NZ to
represent aerial drone footage.
“The school-friendly course hours allowed me to
carry on with my before and after school duties and
this has really helped my family and career. I now
have a fantastic role with fast growing tech company
Seequent.”
Jessica’s Story
Jessica is a qualified and experienced radiation
therapist who is changing direction into tech because
of the increasing connection between medicine and
technology. SHIFT is adding tech to Jessica’s existing
clinical experience, while working with real clients from
Dunedin’s tech sector.
Jessica’s first group project involved working with Kylie
Robinson and the team from Igtimi, and her latest
group project has been developing an app for Otago
Museum. “The project work has really extended my
knowledge into areas I would never have considered
working in just a few months ago, but now I feel like
I can tackle diverse problems and definitely create
solutions. It has been challenging but very rewarding!”
