Co lections L ok up PAGE 2 Wednesday October 24 2018 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk SOME BIG questions to be answered on the issue of Hector’s dolphins and the work on the new cruise berth in Lyttelton (see page 1). Māui and Hector’s Dolphin Defenders says the kind of work being done on the piles will have an impact on the dolphins. The port company says the size of the piles for the berth was smaller than initially planned to mitigate the effects of the noise on dolphins. An Otago University study four years ago during a previous pile driving operation showed there were fewer dolphins in the harbour during that time. The sound was like a gunshot going off underwater, which can cause deafness in dolphins after prolonged exposure. Let’s hope the questions don’t fall on deaf ears. – Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Matt Salmons Ph: 021 902 729 matt.salmons@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Dalton Dalley Ph: 364 7452 dalton.dalley@ starmedia.kiwi Rob Davison Ph: 021 225 8584 rob.davison@ starmedia.kiwi news Skate ramp plantings completed The finishing touches were added to Sumner’s temporary skate park ramp week.

Wednesday October 24 2018 News Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk • By Matt Salmons THOSE FIGHTING against the move of Redcliffs School are waiting for an indication their petition will prove successful. THe Friends of Redcliffs Park, the Redcliffs School board of trustees and the Workplace and Education Select Committee met on Wednesday in Wellington. THe meeting had been delayed from September 19. Friends of Redcliffs Park members Chris Doudney, Simi Desor, Duncan Currie and Adam Currie travelled to the meeting. Mr Doudney said he could not yet say whether the meeting would result in the select committee taking the matter further, as no decision had yet been announced. “Which they may or may not agree to of course. No doubt we’ll hear from them in due course. “My confidence level is no higher and no lower than it was before,” Mr Doudney said. THe select committee would consider the matter at its meeting today. If it chose to continue looking into the matter, it would send a recommendation to Parliament. However, there was no time line for how long that could take. Redcliffs School board of trustees chairman Darren Fidler said both the board and parents School decision yet to be made BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 Redcliffs Park group met with select committee last week SITE SWAP: Friends of Redcliffs Park member Chris Doudney is against the move of Redcliffs School (top) to Redcliffs Park (bottom). had “moved on.” “While there’s this chance, it’s extremely unsettling,” he said. THe meeting came about after a petition from the group was handed to Parliament earlier in the year. Mr Fidler said the ideal outcome for the board was to “continue on the path of certainty.” “To get on and get back into Redcliffs in a new facility.” Mr Doudney said the Friends of Redcliffs Park believed “there is a win-win solution.” He said re-opening the school on the Main Rd site would save millions in education funding and could be done in the same time frame as the new school build. In a letter from the Friends of Redcliffs Park to the select committee, the group said that either a new school or an extension could be built there, “similar to how many other schools around the country have operated.” However, Mr Fidler said the school did not want to move back into the old buildings and moving back to the former site would require “new buildings anyway.” Preparation work for the demolition of the old school buildings was under way, with the physical demolition set to begin this week. Redcliffs School was scheduled to meet with the Ministry of Education late yesterday. He said it had been tough for the school community while it was outside of Redcliffs, but parents, staff and teachers had worked hard to keep the school thriving. “We don’t want to have that undermined by having that turn into uncertainty.” SUMNER POOL KEYS Access to the Sumner Community Pool is now on sale in the lead up to the pool opening on November 17.

Mechanical issues with the ship’s steering gear had forced it to abandon its journey to South-east Asia last month. All of its freight had been sent on other ships. The spokeswoman said a revised schedule for the ship would be communicated once repairs were complete. Looking for a mortgage broker?
