LYTTELTON PORT COMPANY UPDATE<br />

The Fairway leaves our shores after spending 12 weeks on our Channel Deepening Project.<br />

One of our bigger projects is<br />

the deepening of the navigation<br />

channel, which started in<br />

August when one of the world’s<br />

largest dredges, the Fairway,<br />

arrived in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

The Fairway was a fixture<br />

in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> for 12<br />

weeks, as she worked around<br />

the clock to widen, lengthen<br />

and deepen the navigation<br />

channel. She has dredged more<br />

than five million cubic metres of<br />

mud and silt off the sea floor.<br />

The dredging programme means<br />

larger container ships, which have<br />

virtually doubled in size during<br />

the last 10 years, will now be able<br />

to call at Lyttelton. Prior to the<br />

Channel Deepening Project some<br />

vessels had to wait for high tide<br />

before they could arrive or depart<br />

our Port – now larger vessels can<br />

access the Port at all times.<br />

NEVER FORGOTTEN: World War 2 veteran William Joker and RSA president Pat Boland stand in front of the 21 crosses on<br />

Wakefield Ave.<br />

CROSSES that remember 21<br />

men from the Sumner area<br />

who were killed in World War<br />

1 can now be claimed by their<br />

descendants.<br />

The 21 crosses were displayed<br />

RSA vice-president Bernie<br />

Godden said the descendants<br />

could get in touch with the RSA<br />

part of a nationwide initiative to<br />

Crime<br />

wave<br />

sweeps<br />

Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong><br />

• By Louis Day<br />

DIAMOND HARBOUR is<br />

caught in a crime wave – the<br />

worst in at least 20 years.<br />

A house has been broken into,<br />

a $1500 boat trailer has been<br />

taken and mail continues to be<br />

stolen from letterboxes.<br />

Chief fire officer and former policeman<br />

of 34 years, Bob Palmer,<br />

said he has not seen this much<br />

crime in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> since<br />

the late 1990s.<br />

“We had a major burglary crime<br />

wave maybe 20 years ago, something<br />

like 26 or 30 burglaries over<br />

three or four days.”<br />

Jeremy Smith said the last few<br />

months had been the worst he<br />

had seen in his three years as Diamond<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> Neighbourhood<br />

support co-ordinator.<br />

Mr Smith said four or five<br />

parcels had been stolen in the last<br />

couple of weeks.<br />

“There was one occasion where<br />

the courier driver dropped off a<br />

parcel and went back 20min later<br />

and it had been taken.”<br />

Mr Smith said in a perfect<br />

world it would be ideal to have a<br />

permanent police presence in the<br />

area. •Turn to page 4<br />

IF YOU live in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> keep<br />

your eyes peeled.<br />

We reveal on page 1 today the area is<br />

gripped by a small crime wave.<br />

The way to nip a small crime wave in the<br />

bud is to catch the culprit or culprits.<br />

The public has a part to play in that.<br />

The police can only do so much. With the nearest police<br />

station a reasonable hike away a place like Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />

can be good pickings.<br />

But it can also be a crim’s undoing.<br />

Strangers stand out in small communities, even in busy<br />

Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />

So if you spot something or someone that looks suspicious<br />

note their descriptions and write down their vehicle’s rego<br />

number.<br />

Then call the police.<br />

A SUMNER motel owner’s bid<br />

to stop a skate park from being<br />

constructed across the road has<br />

failed.<br />

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />

Community Board approved<br />

26 Nayland St as the location for<br />

the <strong>Bay</strong>s Area skate park.<br />

Sumner <strong>Bay</strong> Motel owner<br />

Roger Evans expressed his concerns<br />

throughout his deputation<br />

to the board that the skate park<br />

would disturb his customers.<br />

“I’m not against a skate park<br />

but I think the Nayland St site<br />

is going to affect my business<br />

because of the acoustics.”<br />

Mr Evans also thought the<br />

Nayland St site was not the “best<br />

value for money for ratepayers.”<br />

The skate park on Nayland St<br />

would be smaller than it would<br />

have been on other sites due to<br />

a considerable portion of the<br />

money being allocated towards<br />

rockfall mitigation.<br />

The motion to approve the<br />

Nayland St site as the location<br />

for the skate park was carried<br />

unanimously by the board, however,<br />

some of the members still<br />

had their concerns about the site.<br />

Community board member<br />

and city councillor Yani Johanson<br />

“reluctantly” supported the<br />

decision.<br />

“This has been an issue that<br />

has gone on for a very long time,<br />

I’m just disappointed it’s going<br />

to be a small skate park and<br />

half the money is going towards<br />

rockfall mitigation.”<br />

Cr Johanson said it was vital<br />

the design of the park catered for<br />

local businesses in the area.<br />

“We really need to get a good<br />

grasp of noise issues and how<br />

through the design those things<br />

can be mitigated and if it comes<br />

down to it and it’s not possible<br />

then we may need to look for<br />

somewhere else.”<br />

The board does have the option<br />

to change the location of the<br />

skate park if they are not satisfied<br />

with the design.<br />

20 years<br />

•From page 1<br />

But Mr Smith understood that<br />

would require a “significant monetary<br />

commitment.”<br />

“Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> is such a<br />

small community and resources<br />

are limited and there’s obviously<br />

far more crime in the cities for<br />

police to be worrying about.”<br />

Lyttelton police Sergeant Franco<br />

Lovrich advised residents to be<br />

cautious entering the holiday<br />

season.<br />

“Really it’s all about prevention,”<br />

he said.<br />

“It’s about letting your neighbours<br />

know you’re not there,<br />

clearing your mailboxes if you’re<br />

away on holiday, not having your<br />

mailbox clear is probably one of<br />

the biggest indicators that nobody<br />

is home.”<br />

Sergeant Lovrich encouraged<br />

people to report any suspicious<br />

behaviour to police.<br />

“We are still not getting everything<br />

reported to us, it seems<br />

to be someone will write on a<br />

community page as opposed to<br />

reporting it directly.”<br />

Mia ready to make political mark<br />

• By Ashleigh Monk<br />

ARMED WITH her love for<br />

science, technology and politics,<br />

16-year-old Mia Wright is ready<br />

to make her mark.<br />

The St Margaret’s College<br />

student and Sumner local<br />

has been selected to represent<br />

Christchurch Central MP Nicky<br />

Wagner as a youth MP at the<br />

Youth Parliament next year.<br />

Mia said she has always been<br />

interested in politics and she followed<br />

last year’s election closely.<br />

“With social media and the internet,<br />

in particular, youth are a<br />

lot more aware of the going-ons<br />

around them, and I think it’s<br />

Descendants to<br />

claim war crosses<br />

really important that we have a<br />

voice in our future,” she said.<br />

“The plan in the next couple of<br />

weeks is for me to reach out to a<br />

couple of youth groups and get<br />

their point of view on what they<br />

want to see happen in Government.”<br />

Mia has a passion for science<br />

and technology.<br />

“I’m in love with technology<br />

and coding and science. I’ve<br />

done a lot of robotics in the past,<br />

and over the last six months my<br />

project has been to create a water<br />

quality testing device. I actually<br />

have won a couple of awards for<br />

the project, so that’s amazing.”<br />

“Without their sacrifice, our<br />

lives would be considerably<br />

different and we would have<br />

considerably less freedom than<br />

we do today,” he said.<br />

Bid to save Redcliffs Park fails<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

A BID to stop Redcliffs<br />

School moving to the area’s<br />

neighbourhood park looks like it<br />

has come to an end.<br />

A petition from the Friends<br />

of Redcliffs Park group, aimed<br />

at stopping the move, has been<br />

rejected by a Government select<br />

committee.<br />

The petition, which received<br />

208 signatures, called for the<br />

new school<br />

to be opened<br />

on its existing<br />

site, as<br />

opposed to<br />

Redcliffs<br />

Park, due to<br />

concerns of<br />

Chris Doudney<br />

flooding and<br />

tsunami risk.<br />

But it was<br />

rejected by the Education and<br />

Workforce Committee last week.<br />

Construction of the new<br />

school is set to start next year<br />

and be completed by 2020.<br />

Friends of Redcliffs Park<br />

spokesman Chris Doudney said<br />

he was not surprised but was still<br />

disappointed by the committee’s<br />

decision.<br />

“It’s a higher tsunami risk<br />

than the other site and it’s also a<br />

higher flood risk than the other<br />

site,” he said.<br />

Mr Doudney said the school’s<br />

move to the new site would be a<br />

burden to ratepayers.<br />

“Ratepayers will have to<br />

pay $100,00 worth of roading<br />

alterations to which we feel<br />

should have been the Ministry<br />

of Education’s responsibility. The<br />

alterations are entirely down to<br />

the school being moved.”<br />

Mr Doudney said it was likely<br />

to be the end of the road for<br />

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />

SLOWLY BUT SURELY: Trenches have been dug on the new school site to accommodate<br />

underground electrical wiring.<br />

Redcliffs Park.<br />

“There’s nothing more we can<br />

really do about the current plans,<br />

if we could we would.”<br />

Redcliffs School board of trustees<br />

chairman Darren Fidler said<br />

it was now time to move on and<br />

push forward with the school<br />

rebuild on Redcliffs Park.<br />

“I think this [the petition being<br />

rejected] shows that the only<br />

feasible option to get the school<br />

back to Redcliffs by 2020 was to<br />

move to Redcliffs Park.”<br />

Mr Fidler was also<br />

confident flood risk could be<br />

mitigated.<br />

“Due diligence was done<br />

as part of the site selection in<br />

regards to a whole range of<br />

hazards, flooding was included<br />

in that, we are getting improved<br />

drainage in that lower field as<br />

part of the school build.”<br />

Work starts<br />

to prevent<br />

flooding in<br />

Little River<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

WORK TO reduce the risk of<br />

flooding in Little River is now<br />

under way.<br />

Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board member Tori Peden said<br />

some money had been put aside<br />

to combat the risk of flooding in<br />

the area.<br />

“There have been people on<br />

the ground inspecting a few of<br />

the old drains to figure out what<br />

the game plan is going forward.”<br />

The move to address the<br />

threat of flooding was prompted<br />

by a submission on the Long<br />

Term Plan from the Little River<br />

Wairewa Community Trust.<br />

Trust chairman Robert Burch<br />

said reducing the risk of flooding<br />

would make Little River a<br />

“happier and healthier place to<br />

live.”<br />

“We will be able to proceed<br />

with other items of infrastructure<br />

that includes a recreation<br />

area behind the river being<br />

regenerated, that includes things<br />

like walkways from Western<br />

Valley Rd to the school to make<br />

access easier, it will also go a<br />

long way in ensuring State Highway<br />

75 remains open.”<br />

The Gaiety hall maintenance under way<br />

MAINTENANCE on the<br />

139-year-old Italianate theatre,<br />

known as the “ornament” of<br />

Akaroa is now under way.<br />

The Gaiety was damaged in<br />

the February 22, 2011,<br />

earthquake and enjoyed a grand<br />

reopening in April 2016 after<br />

being repaired and strengthened,<br />

but further work is now<br />

required.<br />

Work began on Monday and<br />

city council Community Facilities<br />

Specialist Paul McKeefry<br />

expected it to be completed by<br />

mid-February.<br />

The Gaiety needs a little<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

CONCERNS OVER the state<br />

of Jeannie’s Cottage are growing<br />

as it continues to be neglected<br />

by the city council.<br />

Akaroa Civic Trust member<br />

Victoria Andrews said the<br />

cottage had deteriorated to an<br />

almost irreparable state over the<br />

winter.<br />

“The council has let Jeannie’s<br />

Cottage deteriorate to the<br />

point where it is demolition by<br />

neglect.”<br />

extra attention when it comes to<br />

routine maintenance.”<br />

The roof to the main hall will<br />

be replaced and borer treatment<br />

will be applied throughout the<br />

building.<br />

A number of boards throughout<br />

the building including the<br />

weatherboards on the south<br />

external wall, the deck boards<br />

and some of the boards on the<br />

floor of the main hall will also be<br />

replaced.<br />

The Gaiety will be open for<br />

all existing bookings, however,<br />

it will be closed while internal<br />

work is being carried out during<br />

the day.<br />

Cottage neglect concerns trust<br />

The cottage at 40 Rue Jolie<br />

was built in the late 1870s.<br />

Deputy mayor and Banks<br />

Peninsula councillor Andrew<br />

Turner said he shared the concerns<br />

of the trust.<br />

“I am worried about the decay<br />

to the building and also the image<br />

it presents in Akaroa being<br />

a key site.”<br />

City council took expressions<br />

of interest in regard to the<br />

cottage and is currently undertaking<br />

a request for proposal<br />

process.<br />

Cr Turner, however, was unhappy<br />

with the amount of time<br />

this was taking.<br />

“I am doing everything I<br />

possibly can to ensure we get<br />

on with what needs to be done,<br />

both in terms of repairs to the<br />

cottage and also to get that<br />

request for proposal process out<br />

of the way so we can determine<br />

future use as soon as possible.”<br />

The process was expected<br />

to be finished before Christmas,<br />

however, Cr Turner has<br />

requested for the cottage to be<br />

prioritised so the process can be<br />

finished even sooner.<br />

Frustration over wharf delays<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

FRUSTRATION IS growing<br />

for fishermen on Akaroa wharf<br />

as they continue to be impeded<br />

by some of Black Cat Cruises’<br />

structures which fall on to<br />

public land.<br />

The Banks Peninsula Community<br />

Board requested all<br />

non-consented structures, such<br />

as disability access ramps, seating,<br />

signage and canopies, be<br />

removed within three months<br />

back in July. In spite of this, two<br />

disability ramps still remain<br />

more than a month after they<br />

were meant to be removed.<br />

Black Cat Cruises chief<br />

executive Paul Milligan said it<br />

is waiting on the city council to<br />

approve its new plans.<br />

“We were hoping this would<br />

be resolved weeks ago, but we<br />

are waiting on the council as<br />

much as anyone is at this stage.”<br />

Veteran fisherman of 50 years<br />

and Akaroa Fishermen’s Association<br />

head John Wright said he<br />

was sick and tired of waiting for<br />

a resolution.<br />

“We have been on to this for<br />

a good year, maybe more. All<br />

we are asking [city council] is to<br />

enforce the rules they have put<br />

in place.”<br />

Mr Wright said the combination<br />

of the disability ramps and<br />

crowds of tourists from cruise<br />

CROWDED: The combination of tourists from cruise ships<br />

and disability ramps on Akaroa wharf have made it almost<br />

impossible for local fishermen to do their job.<br />

ships were a real issue.<br />

“There are some days where<br />

it is impossible to get a chiller<br />

truck on to the wharf to unload<br />

our fishing vessels. If it’s a hot<br />

day and we’ve got fish on the<br />

deck, it spoils in the hot sun.”<br />

Deputy Mayor and Banks<br />

Peninsula city councillor Andrew<br />

Turner said getting rid of<br />

the disability ramps was not as<br />

simple as first thought.<br />

“It transpired that it wouldn’t<br />

be that easy to remove the ramps<br />

and ensure the accessibility of<br />

the disabled. That has led to an<br />

ongoing conversation with our<br />

staff and Black Cat Cruises on<br />

how to resolve this issue.”<br />

Cr Turner was confident the<br />

conflict would be resolved in the<br />

upgrade of the wharf.<br />

About $10.5 million has<br />

been put aside for the upgrade,<br />

which is expected to start in<br />

April.<br />

“This really is an opportunity<br />

to make sure that what we have<br />

got is fit for purpose and that<br />

it is able to accommodate all of<br />

the various businesses that the<br />

Akaroa wharf is home to.”<br />

Cr Turner said the widening<br />

of the wharf entrance and wharf<br />

itself was a strong possibility in<br />

the upgrade.<br />

BANNED: People in non-self contained vehicles can no longer<br />

freedom camp in Akaroa.<br />

New freedom camping<br />

restrictions in effect<br />

FREEDOM camping restrictions<br />

in Akaroa came into force on<br />

Saturday.<br />

Freedom campers are now<br />

restricted to three marked areas<br />

near the Akaroa Croquet Club on<br />

Woodhill Rd.<br />

The freedom camping area<br />

allows 18 fully self-contained vehicles<br />

to stay overnight. Non-selfcontained<br />

vehicles are prohibited.<br />

This comes after the city council<br />

agreed to alter the Freedom<br />

Camping Bylaw to restrict where<br />

people can camp in vehicles<br />

overnight.<br />

Under the original bylaw,<br />

freedom camping was banned in<br />

Akaroa’s commercial and main<br />

waterfront areas, but people were<br />

allowed to camp in self-contained<br />

vehicles for up to two nights<br />

in other parts of the township,<br />

including residential areas.<br />

The amendment to the bylaw<br />

followed a summer of complaints<br />

from Akaroa residents about<br />

unsavoury behaviour from some<br />

freedom campers.<br />

Deputy Mayor and Banks<br />

Peninsula city councillor Andrew<br />

Turner said the city council<br />

wanted to encourage a positive<br />

relationship between the community<br />

and freedom campers.<br />

“Amending the bylaw means<br />

we can manage some of the more<br />

negative impacts of freedom<br />

camping while still allowing<br />

responsible freedom campers to<br />

be able to enjoy what Akaroa has<br />

to offer.”<br />

community<br />

has helped<br />

the school get ready to<br />

move into its new home<br />

WHAT A strong and resilient<br />

community we have here in<br />

Redcliffs.<br />

We are just short of one year<br />

away from moving into our<br />

brand new school, which has<br />

only been made possible by the<br />

strength of this community.<br />

Has fighting against closure,<br />

navigating land swaps,<br />

and watching demolition got<br />

our children and families down?<br />

Quite the opposite.<br />

We have just completed one<br />

of the biggest and most exciting<br />

school fairs in the city.<br />

Our fair is so important to<br />

us – not only is it our main fundraiser,<br />

bringing in funds for the<br />

resources we need in the coming<br />

months, but it puts smiles on our<br />

children’s faces.<br />

Our school fair involves<br />

enormous commitment from<br />

many – from the staff team leaders<br />

through to people who bake<br />

cakes, donate goods and give<br />

their time before, during and<br />

after the fair itself.<br />

It’s exciting to think that in<br />

the coming year, we will be able<br />

to use some of these fair funds<br />

raised to enhance the playscapes<br />

in our new school.<br />

We’ve had a long road, and it’s<br />

hard to believe that our year 8<br />

children were five when the June<br />

earthquake sent us from our<br />

school to our temporary location<br />

in Sumner.<br />

Our senior children shared<br />

their Redcliffs School journey<br />

in a presentation with Jacinda<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />

Parliament on Tuesday last week.<br />

Our children talked of their<br />

experiences in the earthquake<br />

and their home away from home<br />

at Sumner and Van Asch. They<br />

talked of determination, love of<br />

their school and the resilience<br />

and perseverance they have<br />

learned watching the adults in<br />

their lives work so hard to return<br />

their school to Redcliffs.<br />

These children represent the<br />

eight years that have nearly<br />

passed since the February earthquake<br />

changed the landscape for<br />

our school (both figuratively and<br />

literally). They, and our current<br />

year 7 pupils, will not have the<br />

privilege of attending our new<br />

school, but they will forever be a<br />

part of it.<br />

I’d like to extend an enormous<br />

thank you to all in our community<br />

who have so relentlessly<br />

supported us. We’re very much<br />

looking forward to returning our<br />

school to Redcliffs again at the<br />

beginning of 2020.<br />

Sustainability key<br />

to organic farming<br />

There’s something for<br />

everyone in the realm of<br />

organic farming but as far<br />

as Bill Martin is concerned,<br />

it’s all about sustainability.<br />

The Training College<br />

Manager at Lincoln<br />

University’s Biological<br />

Husbandry Unit Organics<br />

Trust (BHU) is happy to see<br />

a surge in enthusiasm for<br />

organic food production<br />

as younger generations<br />

become more aware of<br />

environmental concerns.<br />

He says the growing<br />

popularity of organic<br />

production in recent years<br />

means that graduates are<br />

now taking what they have<br />

learned into a broader<br />

range of sectors.<br />

“It’s not just about<br />

growing, wholesaling<br />

and retailing food anymore. They’re<br />

going into schools and teaching primary<br />

and secondary schoolers about the<br />

importance of sustainable farming and<br />

gardening and really starting to embed the<br />

philosophy into the education system.”<br />

As far as conventional agricultural<br />

practices are concerned, he says farmers<br />

should be encouraged to optimise their<br />

production, rather than maximise it at the<br />

expense of the environment.<br />

“We need to change our agricultural<br />

paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”<br />

Mr Martin says those interested in a<br />

career in organics should enrol in the<br />

one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production<br />

course, which is open to students either<br />

with or without university entrance.<br />

Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga<br />

and Mahinga Kai components and can<br />

lead to employment in organic primary<br />

production or other sectors related<br />

to organics, especially education and<br />

hospitality.<br />

“The course offers a good grounding<br />

in the principles of organic agriculture,<br />

teaching the philosophies and histories<br />

of organics and providing practical<br />

knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr<br />

Martin says.<br />

Apply now for the Diploma in Organic<br />

Agri-Food Production and begin studying<br />

in February 2019.<br />

Grow a career<br />

in organics<br />

Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare<br />

you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s<br />

a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind<br />

contemporary organic agri-food production.<br />

Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural<br />

scale really means.<br />

Santa photo will need<br />

some crafty editing<br />

I’M INTO week two of<br />

my stay-at-home-dad<br />

adventure and I’ve been<br />

treated to another series of<br />

firsts.<br />

Vittoria saw her first live<br />

crab at Waikuku Beach,<br />

we took our first little walk<br />

hand-in-hand (just in the<br />

lounge) and I even got some<br />

steps towards me.<br />

My favourite firsts,<br />

though? First photo with<br />

Father Christmas and first<br />

time going to an activity<br />

where other stay-at-homedads<br />

turned up.<br />

If you have zero clue of<br />

what being the odd one out<br />

feels like, being a dad at a<br />

baby activity is normally a<br />

great introduction.<br />

In my experience, outside<br />

of weekends and public<br />

holidays, dads at said events<br />

are proverbial unicorns;<br />

rare and naturally herd<br />

animals.<br />

Recently I took Vittoria<br />

to our first Toes and<br />

Giggles session as the<br />

stay-at-home parent. It’s a<br />

music and movement thing;<br />

songs, toys, other babies<br />

with coffee and biscuits<br />

after.<br />

I was pleased to see two<br />

other dads (also in their<br />

first couple of weeks on the<br />

job so to speak) come in. It<br />

will be cool to have some<br />

contemporaries at some of<br />

the same events to share<br />

stories and compare notes<br />

with.<br />

We didn’t get much<br />

time to chat, Vittoria<br />

made multiple beelines for<br />

the door, so I’m looking<br />

forward to the next session<br />

to talk about the stay-athome-dad<br />

role.<br />

As for Vittoria’s first<br />

Santa photo, that brought<br />

a small revelation to<br />

light.<br />

When I was a kid, I<br />

remember being excited<br />

about Santa photos and<br />

getting a chance to get<br />

my order in before<br />

Christmas.<br />

Going by Vittoria’s face<br />

when jolly St Nick walked<br />

out for the photo, I’ve<br />

discovered that excitement<br />

is something you have to<br />

work up to.<br />

She looked terrified and<br />

fascinated all at once and<br />

flat out refused to be too<br />

close.<br />

So for her photo, she’s<br />

sitting on my wife Laura’s<br />

knee, who is sitting next to<br />

me, sitting next to the guy<br />

If you are wanting to sell your<br />

home before Christmas...<br />

ACT NOW<br />

Now is the time to act as buyers are actively looking to<br />

secure their new home before the holiday season starts...<br />

Don’t miss out!<br />

Call Chris today for an appraisal and<br />

proven marketing ideas to get the best<br />

price possible for your home.<br />

CLAWS: Vittoria and Matt on Waikuku Beach getting<br />

up close and personal with a crab.<br />

with the white beard<br />

and red suit who keeps<br />

getting unsure looks from<br />

a baby.<br />

I’m really looking<br />

forward to getting the<br />

final product when it’s<br />

ready – apparently there<br />

will be some crafty editing<br />

to make it look like we’re<br />

on the beach. However, I<br />

don’t think they can edit<br />

out Vittoria’s side-eye to<br />

Santa.<br />

Busy lead-up to Xmas<br />

for Lyttelton Rotary<br />

Lyttelton Rotary Club member Barry Toomey writes about<br />

what the club has been doing and what its plans are in the<br />

lead-up to Christmas<br />

FANTASTIC: Craig Fraser in front of the Scarborough Park playground’s new recycled plastic<br />

picnic tables.<br />

Scarborough Park playground<br />

gets new plastic picnic tables<br />

THE Scarborough Park<br />

playground is now home to two<br />

picnic tables made completely out<br />

of plastic.<br />

Fulton Hogan Canterbury<br />

maintenance operations<br />

manager Craig Fraser came<br />

up with the idea while<br />

completing the upgrade of the<br />

playground.<br />

“I talked about it with a few of<br />

my colleagues and we thought<br />

it could be a good move to see if<br />

we could get some park furniture<br />

made from recycled soft plastics,<br />

instead of the standard timber<br />

outdoor tables and chairs.”<br />

The city council supported<br />

the idea, replacing the standard<br />

outdoor timber tables and chairs<br />

with picnic tables made from soft<br />

plastics.<br />

The six tables came from<br />

Wellington company Metal Art.<br />

“These tables are designed to<br />

last for more than 50 years and<br />

when they’ve reached the<br />

end of their life span, they can<br />

be recycled again,” said Mr<br />

Fraser.<br />

“Any graffiti can be removed<br />

with white spirits and if the table<br />

is scratched it can be fixed with<br />

light use of a blowtorch.”<br />

The city council has also<br />

recently approved the installation<br />

of 60 recycled soft plastic bench<br />

seats for bus stop sites around<br />

Christchurch.<br />

LYTTELTON ROTARY can<br />

mark up a successful year with<br />

Christmas now only days away.<br />

In September, with the help<br />

of a local city council ranger,<br />

the club got busy and tidied up<br />

the very neglected Baden Norris<br />

Walkway between Oxford St and<br />

Sumner Rd.<br />

The walkway had been<br />

damaged in the earthquakes<br />

and very little maintenance<br />

had been done since then. This<br />

is going to be an ongoing club<br />

project with guidance from the<br />

city council, so please feel free to<br />

visit and enjoy this track, which<br />

is in the memory of well-known<br />

Lyttelton man Baden Norris,<br />

who unfortunately passed away<br />

recently and did not see the work<br />

the club had achieved there.<br />

The club also hosted Papanui<br />

Rotary for a social evening with<br />

special guest speaker Sandra<br />

Manderson, who spoke about<br />

her police involvement during<br />

last year’s British and Irish Lions<br />

rugby tour.<br />

It is amazing how much goes<br />

on behind-the-scenes for this<br />

type of event to happen here<br />

in New Zealand, and everyone<br />

found it very interesting.<br />

With Christmas fast<br />

approaching, the club is now<br />

selling tickets to its Christmas<br />

raffle. The team is out and about<br />

in the community selling this<br />

great hamper prize so please<br />

support it as the money goes<br />

back into local community<br />

projects within the harbour<br />

basin.<br />

On Sunday <strong>December</strong> 23, the<br />

club is hosting the Community<br />

Carols in Albion Square starting<br />

at 7pm. Come along one and all<br />

and enjoy the community spirit<br />

and be part of the Christmas<br />

build up. Children are especially<br />

welcome to help out with the<br />

singing and one never knows<br />

who might appear. Clue: He<br />

wears a red suit.<br />

Next year will be another big<br />

one for Lyttelton Rotary so if you<br />

are thinking of being part of a<br />

team which is keen to support<br />

the community, plus have some<br />

fun along the way, feel free to call<br />

club president Brian Reeve on<br />

Getting ready for<br />

the festive season<br />

Christmas means a lot of things to a lot of<br />

people. For some it is a religious celebration,<br />

for others a chance to gather with family and<br />

celebrate. Whatever Christmas means to you,<br />

there are many ways to celebrate – from the full<br />

grandeur of baked ham and turkey with all the<br />

trimmings or a picnic on the beach with the ones<br />

you love.<br />

For some, Christmas can be a stressful time<br />

of year, but there are ways to minimise this and<br />

spread the workload, so everyone can enjoy the<br />

day.<br />

Here are some ideas to help you get through the<br />

festive season.<br />

Create order in your home<br />

Start preparations early, if you are hosting<br />

everyone at your house, don’t leave it all to the<br />

last minute. Start the spring clean up now so<br />

when it comes to the days leading into the holiday<br />

season you are not rushing around – making you<br />

stressed and exhausted.<br />

Tackling one room at a time is a good way<br />

to purge and get organised. Sorting through<br />

wardrobes and cupboards and getting rid of<br />

anything you haven’t used in the past year. Having<br />

all the rooms organised means there will also be<br />

space for those coming to stay during this busy<br />

time.<br />

Once you’ve dusted and vacuumed shut the<br />

doors and just air out the room a few days before<br />

your guests arrive. A nice towel placed at the end<br />

of the bed and a small floral arrangement from the<br />

garden can also add a nice welcoming touch.<br />

Share the food load<br />

We have between 25 to 30 people for Christmas<br />

most years, but our family has got smart. The host<br />

divvies up the food between each family, spreading<br />

the cost and the work.<br />

About four weeks before the big day, we send<br />

out a food allocation of what each person brings.<br />

Normally the parents get the turkey and ham<br />

with the offspring in charge of vegetables and<br />

Selection!<br />

arriving<br />

puddings. This is a great way to<br />

spread the load and the cost and allows for those<br />

who aren’t cooks to also contribute – we just put<br />

them in charge of nibbles, drinks or chocolates for<br />

on the table etc.<br />

Just make sure you tell each person how much<br />

is needed, for example you don’t want someone<br />

turning up with just one punnet of strawberries.<br />

The rule is that whatever you bring you must<br />

have prepared, so the new potatoes arrive scraped<br />

in a pot, the vegetables and the salads and puddings<br />

are all made.<br />

A little bit of organisation ahead of time means<br />

everyone gets to enjoy the day and join in the fun.<br />

Our People<br />

Tonight Lyttelton singer<br />

and songwriter Lindon<br />

Puffin will perform at a<br />

variety concert to raise<br />

money for a Christchurch<br />

YouthHub. His own<br />

experiences when he<br />

was younger have led<br />

him to want to give back<br />

and help youths. Sophie<br />

Cornish talks to him<br />

Lindon Puffin<br />

Ageing gracefully but still making<br />

How did you benefit from a<br />

youth health centre when you<br />

were younger?<br />

I was in a glam-punk band and<br />

I was a pretty strange-looking<br />

fella at this point. I was young<br />

and in a heavy goth phase.<br />

That was all part of coming out<br />

of Rangiora High School and<br />

desperately trying to find my<br />

own identity. I didn’t fit into<br />

the expectations of normality<br />

and was trying to find my own<br />

path. We had this band called<br />

The Puffins, which was pretty<br />

androgynous. We were there to<br />

shock people and we got quite<br />

a good following. I didn’t really<br />

have the backing from my family.<br />

Everyone was hoping I would<br />

just get through this phase and<br />

become normal. I had done okay<br />

at school. It’s a pretty similar<br />

story to a lot of youths, those<br />

who fall outside of that curve.<br />

Someone mentioned the health<br />

centre, the original 198 Youth<br />

Health Centre on Hereford St.<br />

I went there just to see a doctor<br />

and we realised there was this<br />

place where we could go and be<br />

ourselves. It was the only place<br />

in town that was on our side,<br />

people didn’t judge you on how<br />

you looked. It was such a vital<br />

thing. It was genuinely a hub;<br />

it was where we ran into all<br />

the other artists, out-liars, the<br />

quirky youth. Whether they were<br />

alienated because of their sexual<br />

identify, mental health or just<br />

having an odd appearance.<br />

When did you first begin<br />

music and why?<br />

It was when I was 11 or<br />

12-years-old. I was one of those<br />

kids who got really obsessed by<br />

music. I listened to tapes over<br />

and over again until I knew every<br />

word. When I was 12, I could<br />

recite the entire album of Pink<br />

Floyd’s The Wall. There was the<br />

usual suspects of Fleetwood<br />

Mac, Queen, the music that is<br />

‘okay’ to listen to in Rangiora.<br />

In high school I met people who<br />

listened to music the way I did.<br />

By the time I was 14-years-old,<br />

my school books were filled with<br />

pictures of Bob Dylan and John<br />

Lennon. Then I started to teach<br />

myself the guitar and piano.<br />

By the time high school was<br />

finished, we had a crappy school<br />

rock band, which eventually<br />

turned in The Puffins. We were<br />

doing crazy things to our hair,<br />

making our own costumes. I<br />

would like to say I had a really<br />

supportive family and that<br />

they nurtured that, but I didn’t<br />

really have that. My mum was<br />

supportive, she believed in me,<br />

but they would’ve liked to see<br />

me do something different. My<br />

brother Ross somehow also<br />

escaped Rangiora. He became<br />

a very successful contemporary<br />

dancer and choreographer<br />

overseas. He is currently the<br />

New Zealand Art Laureate of<br />

Choreography and Dance. My<br />

sister Claire became a heavy<br />

diesel mechanic in the mines in<br />

Australia and now works as an<br />

advocate for women’s rights in<br />

the mining industry. We were<br />

raised to have a very strong<br />

sense of work ethic, which was<br />

ingrained in us from a young<br />

age. In that way we have just<br />

continued to do that sort of<br />

thing. For me, it became music. I<br />

worked that as hard as I could.<br />

I understand you are involved<br />

in quite a bit of charity work -<br />

what else do you do for charity?<br />

There are different things<br />

that come up. For example, this<br />

week on Thursday, the radiology<br />

department at Christchurch<br />

Hospital is having a quiz-night<br />

fundraiser for the Christchurch<br />

Battered Women’s Trust. I am<br />

co-hosting the quiz, playing some<br />

music and helping organise that.<br />

It is about raising money but<br />

also about raising awareness and<br />

morale. A few months ago at the<br />

Adventure Park there was a fundraiser<br />

for tree planting. There<br />

was a dinner there and was MC, I<br />

also played. So there is balance of<br />

doing those things and also doing<br />

my work, such as playing in bars.<br />

Just last weekend I played at OGB<br />

and Rowdy Kitchen. On Sunday,<br />

this week, I am playing at a charity<br />

Christmas picnic at the Little<br />

Big Tree Nursery. They saw me<br />

playing and wanted to put something<br />

on for the workers’ families.<br />

It is a variety of different things. It<br />

is definitely an around the clock<br />

effort. Some of it you get paid for,<br />

some of it you don’t. People like<br />

Dr Sue Bagshaw, who wants to<br />

organise this new YouthHub, is<br />

actively trying to make the world<br />

a better place every day. I look up<br />

to people like that and try to help<br />

out where I can.<br />

How long have you lived in<br />

Lyttelton and what drew you<br />

there?<br />

In the mid-1990s I came<br />

over here when The Puffins<br />

started playing regularly at the<br />

Wunderbar. It was the another<br />

place, along with the 198 Youth<br />

Health Centre, where we could<br />

be ourselves. It is a very eccentric<br />

place; we were encouraged by<br />

the owner to be as outrageous<br />

as we could. He was German<br />

guy called York. He would say<br />

to us, “anything that is like the<br />

ordinary rock ’n’ roll, I will just<br />

turn you guys away . . . at least<br />

half of them (the audience) have<br />

to leave upset and if they are<br />

not leaving, then you are doing<br />

something wrong.” We were<br />

very lucky to have that place,<br />

we developed our whole band<br />

aesthetic around it. I always<br />

had a connection to Lyttelton.<br />

Eventually I brought a little<br />

piece of land with my dad by<br />

the Timeball. We built a little<br />

cedar box house on the hill. Then<br />

my partner, Belinda Trott and<br />

I had a couple of kids in quick<br />

succession, they are 13 months<br />

apart. We focused on our house<br />

project and I stopped touring, I<br />

have really tried to stay local for<br />

the past five years or so with the<br />

family. But, I’m not quite wearing<br />

Crocs and a polo just yet.

music in Lyttelton<br />

I stopped dying my hair and<br />

I’m trying to age gracefully.<br />

There is a lot of artists here and<br />

there is a real sense of team about<br />

the place, really positive, creative,<br />

competition.<br />

On your Facebook page<br />

you’ve listed covert yacht rock,<br />

pop, rock, folk, punk as your<br />

genre? What is covert yacht<br />

rock for the people who may not<br />

know and how best would you<br />

describe your genre or sound?<br />

It’s kind of subversive soft rock,<br />

when I wrote that, it was a bit of<br />

a joke. Once I moved past the<br />

glam-rock phase, in the 2000s,<br />

I started doing my solo music,<br />

which was probably closer to<br />

what I was listening too. I got<br />

through that phase of shocking<br />

people and just focused on the<br />

songs. I feel like the music I<br />

make, is similar to The Mutton<br />

Birds, Dave Dobyn, Split Enz,<br />

that New Zealand sound and<br />

voice. I think it’s a New Zealand<br />

folk-rock kind of sound.<br />

You have opened for some<br />

international acts like Tenacious<br />

D and Billy Bragg – what’s the<br />

closest you’ve ever gotten to big<br />

fame? Any big names you’ve<br />

rubbed shoulders with?<br />

Billy Bragg is a real hero<br />

of mine, there is integrity<br />

personified. Paul Kelly also, I<br />

haven’t opened for him, but I’ve<br />

always dreamed of it. When<br />

you are putting out albums, you<br />

are always hustling for those<br />

support spots, because you are<br />

trying to promote what you have<br />

done. I have done a couple of<br />

tours with Billy and I just felt<br />

incredibly lucky to have been in<br />

that position. I toured with Chris<br />

Knox a bit, The Mutton Birds and<br />

The Exponents. Tenacious D is<br />

one I can put in my bio.<br />

I read online that you full<br />

name is actually Lindon<br />

McCormack, where did The<br />

Puffins and then Lindon Puffin<br />

originate from?<br />

Really, we were just trying to<br />

come up with a band name that<br />

was colourful and somehow<br />

we came up with The Puffins<br />

and it was the perfect name for<br />

a glam-rock band. We all had<br />

crazy names in the band, I was<br />

Lindon Puffin, the keyboard<br />

player was Lake Vincent, because<br />

he was Jeremy Lake. Everyone<br />

just mucked around with their<br />

names, it was part of making<br />

an identity. Jason Clements the<br />

bass player was Clements the<br />

Bear. There was an ever evolving<br />

seat of drummers and they were<br />

always known as Ramona. After<br />

I finished with the band, I got<br />

roped into doing breakfast show<br />

FAMILY TIME: Lindon playing the guitar for his daughter<br />

Rita.<br />

at RDU and the name stuck.<br />

You are a father of two, what<br />

does your typical day look like?<br />

I try and get up in morning<br />

and get my work done while<br />

Belinda keeps an eye on the kids,<br />

Rita, 3, and Elliott (also known<br />

as Lolzy) who is almost two. I<br />

try and do all my organising<br />

then, it’s a constant hustle being<br />

a freelance musician. Then I<br />

take over in the afternoons,<br />

when Belinda goes to work. She<br />

works for TVNZ as an editor<br />

for 1 News at 6 and Seven Sharp.<br />

Sometimes I will be lucky to get<br />

a single email done. I remember<br />

an interview with Jacinda Ardern<br />

and her partner Clarke, who<br />

said he was going to build a deck<br />

when he was a stay-at-home<br />

dad. All of us dads laughed in<br />

unison. He’s never going to build<br />

a deck for the foreseeable future.<br />

The key word I am still trying<br />

to learn is patience. You have to<br />

learn to put the tools down and<br />

focus on the kids, because that is<br />

what your job really is. It can be a<br />

challenge.<br />

Protected<br />

estuary<br />

island a<br />

lifeline for<br />

rare gulls<br />

A GRAVEL island built in a<br />

wetland reserve near the estuary<br />

is proving a lifeline for up to 300<br />

endangered black-billed gulls.<br />

The gulls are nesting on the<br />

island in the Charlesworth<br />

Wetland Reserve in Ferrymead,<br />

which is protected from the<br />

heavy rain and flooding that has<br />

destroyed other river nesting<br />

sites.<br />

The island in the reserve,<br />

which is about 25m long and 1m<br />

above the tide line, was built by<br />

city council staff in 2003 in the<br />

hope of creating a safe nesting<br />

habitat for the black-billed gull,<br />

which is critically endangered in<br />

New Zealand.<br />

City council ranger and<br />

ornithologist Andrew Crossland<br />

said this is the biggest breeding<br />

colony of black-billed gulls and<br />

their coastal cousins, red-billed<br />

gulls, seen at the site since before<br />

the earthquakes and provides a<br />

“glimmer of hope.”<br />

“We have up to 300 birds nesting<br />

there at the moment. This<br />

location is safe from river flooding<br />

and we think the chicks<br />

have got a really good chance of<br />

surviving. It’s a signal to other<br />

councils and organisations that<br />

if we create these islands on tidal<br />

or freshwater wetlands, then the<br />

black-billed gulls will come and<br />

we can help boost the population<br />

which has been in rapid<br />

decline. It’s a great result for the<br />

survival of this species.”<br />

Predators such as blackbacked<br />

gulls, ferrets, cats and<br />

stoats have impacted on the<br />

threatened birds’ numbers,<br />

along with a reduction in habitat,<br />

mainly from weed invasion<br />

of riverbeds.<br />

Charlesworth Wetland<br />

Reserve is made up of 20ha of<br />

land, separated from the Avon-<br />

Heathcote Estuary by Linwood<br />

Ave and Humphreys Drive.<br />

Students<br />

clean up<br />

Lyttelton<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

MORE THAN 120 students from<br />

Christ’s College helped clean up<br />

Lyttelton as part of their year 10<br />

service week.<br />

Groups were organised and<br />

managed by Conservation<br />

Volunteers New<br />

Zealand and the<br />

Banks Peninsula<br />

Conservation Trust<br />

as they carried out<br />

a range of tasks.<br />

Assistant<br />

principal Neil<br />

Porter said the<br />

Neil Porter<br />

week was part of the school’s<br />

emphasis on learning about<br />

service in the community.<br />

“It used to be a week when the<br />

kids went on camp, now we do<br />

camp in a different way. Now<br />

they’re just out in the community,<br />

giving the kids an experience of<br />

helping others,” he said.<br />

Some students spent time at<br />

Port Saddle where they weeded<br />

around native trees that had been<br />

planted by the Banks Peninsula<br />

Conversation Trust.<br />

WE ARE a sports club . . . not<br />

a bar.<br />

The article on the opening of<br />

the new squash courts, changing<br />

rooms and lounge unfortunately<br />

focused on the bar, rather than<br />

the club itself.<br />

We have a very active junior<br />

and senior on-court membership.<br />

We have three new squash<br />

courts and four tennis courts,<br />

all of which must be booked<br />

because of the high demand<br />

from members. Over the last<br />

six weeks, we have run the<br />

annual spring tournament<br />

which attracted 85 of our senior<br />

Month of ‘messy’ waves<br />

SPORTS<br />

Aaron's Surf Report<br />

NOVEMBER WAS a month to<br />

forget weather-wise.<br />

Three or four Tasman lows<br />

passed over the South Island one<br />

after the other, which created a<br />

constant easterly flow with wet,<br />

humid weather seemingly neverending.<br />

Surf-wise the easterly<br />

wind created plenty of surf with<br />

ridable waves most days, but the<br />

on-shore wind meant mainly<br />

messy, lumpy conditions.<br />

Looking ahead, a highpressure<br />

system has moved in<br />

over this week so hopefully,<br />

things brighten up for a bit.<br />

On the contest scene, the local<br />

groms have been out and about<br />

at various contests. The South<br />

Island primary school champs<br />

were held at North Beach over<br />

the weekend in big, stormy<br />

conditions.<br />

Jack Tyro won the year 7/8<br />

boys and Eva Henderson won<br />

the year 7/8 girls. Amelie Wink<br />

was third in the year 7/8 girls. In<br />

the year 6s, Travis Henderson<br />

was third in the boys, while<br />

Ameli Campbell was second and<br />

Tessa Langman was fourth in the<br />

girls.<br />

Lucy Temoananui has been<br />

in China competing at the ISA<br />

world SUP champs on Hainan<br />

Island, China’s equivalent of<br />

Hawaii. The event was held in<br />

nice, clean, head-high waves on<br />

a sand-bottomed, left-hand point<br />

break. This was Lucy’s second<br />

year representing New Zealand<br />

at the ISA world champs. She<br />

SMOOTH SAILING: Lucy Temoananui navigates her way through the waves at Hainan Island off<br />

the coast of China during the ISA world SUP champs. (Below) – Jack Tyro was all smiles after<br />

taking out the year 7/8 competition at the South Island primary school champs.<br />

performed well in her first<br />

round, winning her heat, but<br />

couldn’t find the waves in her<br />

subsequent heats to finish 17th<br />

overall.<br />

Estella Hungerford was part<br />

of the New Zealand junior surf<br />

team which competed at the<br />

ISA world junior champs at<br />

Huntington Beach, California,<br />

at the start of last month. Estella<br />

progressed through several heats<br />

before coming unstuck in the<br />

repechage round three, finishing<br />

the event in 43rd overall.<br />

New Zealand has secured two<br />

spots for next year on the highest<br />

tier of competitive surfing, the<br />

world championship tour. Paige<br />

Hareb (Taranaki) re-qualified<br />

recently with a win at the White<br />

Buffalo Hyuga Pro in Japan.<br />

Ricardo Christie (Gisborne)<br />

re-qualified over the weekend<br />

gaining enough points at the<br />

Vans World Cup at Sunset<br />

Beach, Hawaii.<br />

It’s going to be great to see two<br />

Kiwis on the world stage next<br />

year.<br />

Sumner fail<br />

to make<br />

one-day<br />

cricket finals<br />

• By Louis Day<br />

SUMNER HAVE failed to make<br />

it into the finals of the one day<br />

competition for the first time<br />

in four years after losing to<br />

Burnside on Saturday.<br />

Sumner travelled to Burnside<br />

Park missing two top order batsmen.<br />

The loss was their fourth<br />

consecutive defeat.<br />

After losing the toss, Sumner<br />

batted first in wet conditions.<br />

They lost regular wickets and<br />

were all out for a disappointing<br />

81.<br />

In reply, Burnside went on the<br />

attack and, in spite of losing four<br />

wickets, made short work of the<br />

total.<br />

Dean Smith continued his<br />

good form with three wickets,<br />

but 81 was not enough to defend,<br />

said Sumner club captain Dan<br />

Vann<br />

He said his side could not contain<br />

their disappointment after<br />

not reaching the finals.<br />

“We were unfortunate to again<br />

lose the toss in bowler-friendly<br />

conditions for the third week<br />

in a row but we still underperformed.”<br />

Mr Vann said his side desperately<br />

missed their skipper Johnny<br />

Beveridge, who is currently playing<br />

for the New Zealand Police<br />

cricket team in Australia.<br />

Sumner now turn their attention<br />

to the two-day competition,<br />

in which they are currently at the<br />

top of the table.<br />

REAL ESTATE<br />

A pleasant surprise - “As Is, Where Is”<br />

214B Mt Pleasant Rd, Mt Pleasant<br />

Auction: From 12pm, Thursday 13 <strong>December</strong>, Harcourts Grenadier, 98 Moorhouse Ave – unless sold prior<br />

4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 4 toilets | 2 living rooms | 1 dining room | 3 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number: SM0133<br />

Serving as an immaculate example of an as<br />

is, where is property, this partially repaired<br />

four-bedroom home enjoys exceptional<br />

north-facing views over the sea and coastline<br />

offering the ultimate hillside lifestyle.<br />

With remediation three-quarters complete,<br />

the vendors have now exceeded their cap and<br />

don’t wish to proceed any further with the<br />

remaining repairs, and therefore, they offer<br />

this superbly presented home to a new buyer<br />

who can live incredibly comfortably while<br />

they finish the last of the work required in<br />

their own time.<br />

The property’s cladding has been repaired<br />

and a new kitchen installed. The kitchen<br />

exudes modern style with its granite<br />

benchtops and breakfast bar, all benefiting<br />

from an elevated outlook over the sea that<br />

stretches across to Ferrymead.<br />

The multi-level living layout includes a<br />

breath-taking lounge on the central portion of<br />

the first floor which features a double height<br />

ceiling that contributes a sense of grandeur to<br />

the space. From there, a small set of steps lead<br />

you up to the kitchen and open plan dining<br />

and living area where you can admire the<br />

unobstructed views beyond. Lots of balconies<br />

and decks provide outdoor flow and there is<br />

some good flat lawn for children to play.<br />

Four good sized bedrooms are serviced by<br />

three bathrooms and a powder room, with the<br />

master bedroom having a walk-in wardrobe<br />

and an ensuite with a spa bath. One bedroom<br />

has a kitchenette and could be used to hosts<br />

guest or run Airbnb. There’s great level drive<br />

on access with turning and internal access<br />

triple car garaging which are further enticing<br />

features of the property.<br />

Located within easy reach of the various<br />

coastal suburbs that lead you around to<br />

Sumner Beach, this property also enjoys a<br />

relatively straight-forward commute into the<br />

city centre which will take you less than 20<br />

minutes by car. Zoned and within walking<br />

distance to Mt Pleasant School (decile 10).<br />

Being sold on an as is, where is basis, this<br />

property offers comfort and presents buyers<br />

with the opportunity to complete the home<br />

to their taste. Possibly the best we have<br />

marketed!<br />

Open Homes: Wednesday, Saturday &<br />

Sunday 3:15pm - 4:00pm.<br />

See you at the open homes or for a private<br />

EPOXY<br />

EPOXY grout is a large part of the answer in making sure showers last<br />

the distance. EPOXY grout is 90% non porous. With all the chemicals,<br />

soap residue, mineral deposits and dirt that end up on the shower<br />

base, it really does need EPOXY grout if you want it to last 10+ years.<br />

BEFORE<br />

AFTER<br />

Replacing cracked tiles, resiliconing shower edges, removing calcium<br />

buildup on shower tiles, regrouting cracked grout and all tile related<br />

issues are part of the Groutpro service.<br />
