2 Tuesday December 4 2018 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi get in touch from the editor’s desk PEOPLE LIVING near the planned quarry in Templeton will need deep pockets to fight Fulton Hogan. The company has revealed its plans for the quarry in its resource consent application - and it wants to quarry overnight for up to 150 days of the year. If you live within earshot of the site it’s going to be a problem. And then there’s the lights and the dust. It will cost upwards of $100,000 to fight Fulton Hogan. Lawyers don’t come cheap. Residents will need a strong legal team because Fulton Hogan will certainly have one. Whether Fulton Hogan actually wants to quarry through the night remains to be seen. But it will be a bargaining chip at the hearings. - 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 Back on a bike Check in to see how fundrasing to get St John of God resident Grant Cowan back cycling is going.

WESTERN NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Tuesday December 4 2018 3 News Kyle Park eyed for mega facility • By Anan Zaki KYLE PARK could be the new site for the Hornby community mega centre tomorrow. City council staff recommended Kyle Park to the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board on Friday, after conducting geotechnical tests in September and October. The Halswell-Hornby- Riccarton Community Board will vote on the city council staff recommendation in an extraordinary board meeting tomorrow at 5.30pm. The tests were conducted after Denton Park was turned down as the location for the $35.7 million library, customer services and leisure centre in July, following strong opposition from residents. Board members also have the choice of not making a decision at this time and shortlist sites. The geotechnical investigation found that remediating the land at Kyle Park, which was a former landfill, will cost $5.8 million. The city council previously estimated that remediating Kyle Park would cost between $9 and $10 million. A city council staff report said the landfill material is “significantly” contaminated “as expected.” The costs to resolve landfill issues can be covered by the existing project budget, the city council staff report said. The report also said the delivery dates for the Hornby mega centre and central city Metro Sports Facility overlap, which posed a risk of stretching city council staff resources and external industry capacity to build two similar projects at the same time. Greater Hornby Residents’ Association chairman Marc Duff is scheduled to make a deputation at tomorrow’s meeting. HOPE: Kyle Park could be chosen as the site for the new Hornby community mega centre tomorrow. If Kyle Park gets the go-ahead, consultation will begin early next year on a partial change to the reserve classification and amendments to the management plan. Construction is planned to begin in early 2021, with the facility set to open at the end of 2022. Local News Now In Brief Fire rages, homes at risk BIGGER BUS STOP A bus stop on Memorial Ave, opposite the Commodore Hotel, will be extended after reports of buses missing waiting passengers. Environment Canterbury, which runs the bus network, told the city council that the bus stop regularly features as a stop where people are not picked up by buses. The existing bus stop runs from 420 to 422 Memorial Ave. To improve visibility for bus drivers, the stop will be marked from the driveway of 418 to 422 Memorial Ave. TRAIN SHED EXTENSION The Canterbury Society of Model and Experimental Engineers has been given the approval to extend its train shed in Halswell. The society proposes to add another bay to the building, which would bring the total number of bays to six. FUNDING APPROVED The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board has approved youth fund grants for Dinuki Karunasekera, of Aidanfield, for a United Nations youth trip, Rosa Murray, of Halswell, for a dance competition and Luke White, also of Halswell, for a football tournament. The three applicants will receive $1300 collectively. What happens to the contents of your yellow bin? Come along to the EcoSort OPEN DAY!
