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 />
• By Louis Day<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 />
at the Sumner Redcliffs RSA<br />

RSA vice-president Bernie<br />
Godden said the descendants<br />
could get in touch with the RSA<br />

The crosses were made by RSA<br />
members for Armistice Day as<br />
part of a nationwide initiative to<br />
create a cross for every serviceman<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 />

from the editor’s desk<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 />

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 />
“Like all great heritage buildings,<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 />

talks about<br />
how the<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 />
Ardern and the Labour caucus<br />
when they were invited to visit<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 />

& Matt<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 />

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 />

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 />
members.<br />
The new squash courts have<br />
attracted new squash players<br />
and our squash membership is<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 />

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 />
