District Plan conflict close to end
• By Julia Evans
UNDER FIRE Darrell Latham,
two community board members
and a city councillor appear to be
close to resolving their conflict
with the city council over District
Plan flooding issues.
The Linwood-Central-Heathcote
Community Board member,
as well as Coastal Ward city
councillor David East, Coastal-
Burwood Community
Board chairwoman Kim
Money and deputy chairman
Tim Sintes, have been
facing code of conduct
complaints since September
over an allegation
staff had tampered with the
District Plan.
Mr Sintes said the group would
be making an announcement in
the next couple of weeks.
“We’re going to do a
release as a group when
David East comes back
from holiday,” he said.
Mr Sintes said he
would be pleased to have
the issue wrapped up.
Dr Latham also said
the four would make a statement
Darrell
Latham
soon. “We’ll be in the perfect
position to do that,” he said.
However, yesterday city council
chief executive Karleen Edwards
said, as the process is still under
way, she has no comment. The
root of the conflict was a threeline
clause omitted from the city’s
new District Plan, which came
into effect in December 2017.
The clause would give
leeway to people in specific
coastal areas, deemed at risk of
flooding, to build and extend
homes.
Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Minister
Megan Woods approved city
council’s proposal to amend
the Christchurch District Plan
under section 71 of the Greater
Christchurch Regeneration Act.

SUMNER’S Ava Henderson narrowly

Ava (right) lost to Australian-based
surfer Amarnie Barber after she
made a priority error.
Ava had already caught three
waves before the other competitors
had caught one which is classed as a
priority error.
The 13-year-old said she felt hard

IT LOOKS like common sense will
finally prevail over the code of conduct
complaints laid against local community
board member Darrell Latham and others
(page 1).
Latham, as well as Coastal Ward city
councillor David East and Coastal-Burwood Community Board
chairwoman Kim Money and deputy chairman Tim Sintes from
across the estuary, were taken to task by the city council for
their public views on the District Plan flooding issues.
But their criticisms forced a rethink from council chiefs over
what had been left out of the plan, which was causing grief for
many living near the coast.
But the complaints and potential repercussions have remained
unresolved. When East returns from holiday next week there
will be a public statement.
I think they will get off, and deservedly so too.

The Binding
by Bridget Collins
‘I wish I had written it’ Erin Kelly
Imagine you could erase your grief.
Imagine you could forget your pain.
Imagine you could hide a secret…Forever.
Emmett Farmer is working in the fields when a letter arrives
summoning him to begin an apprenticeship. He will work for a
Bookbinder, a vocation that arouses fear, superstition and prejudice
– but one neither he nor his parents can afford to refuse. He will
learn to hand-craft beautiful volumes, and within each he will capture
something unique and extraordinary: a memory. If there’s something you want to forget,
he can help. If there’s something you need to erase, he can assist. Your past will be
stored safely in a book and you will never remember your secret, however terrible. In
a vault under his mentor’s workshop, row upon row of books – and memories – are
meticulously stored and recorded. Then one day Emmett makes an astonishing
discovery: one of them has his name on it.
THE BINDING is an unforgettable, magical novel: a boundary-defying love story and a
unique literary event.
The Dog Who Saved the World
by Ross Welford
The astounding new novel from the bestselling and Costa-shortlisted author of
Time Travelling with a Hamster, this is a story for everyone of ten and older who
loves adventure, laughs and tears.
“One of my favourite middle-grade writers” Kiran Millwood Hargrave, author of The
Girl of Ink and Stars
When eleven-year-old Georgie befriends an eccentric retired scientist, she
becomes the test subject for a thrilling new experiment: a virtual-reality 3D version
of the future.
But then a deadly disease threatens the life of every dog in the country and
Georgie’s beloved dog, Mr Mash, gets sick. And that’s only the start of her
troubles.
Soon, Georgie and Mr Mash must embark on a desperate quest: to save every
dog on earth, and maybe even all of humanity …
… without actually leaving the room.
An extraordinary quest with the biggest stakes of all, and a huge idea at its heart,
this is time travel – but not as you know it.

TENSIONS ARE running high in
Lyttelton after dog owners have been
left notes threatening to call dog
control on their pets.
One resident had been left two
handwritten notes on separate occasions.
One of them stating “your f*****g
dog has barked the whole afternoon.
Some people were trying to get a
nap.”
The note which was posted on community
Facebook group, “Lyttelton
– Ain’t No Place I’d Rather Be!” led to
a heated debate
between local residents.
One dog owner was astounded
when he found a printed letter on his
doorstep threatening to contact dog
control if his dogs were not kept on
his own property.
The owner said they were
disappointed that the writer of the
letter could not knock on the door
and have a conversation with him face
to face.
Several other dog owners in the
area have received similar letters and
believe they are coming from the
same person.
Residents from Hawkhurst Rd,

Worsley’s logbook brings voyage to life
How he navigated the sub-Antarctic sea
A JOURNEY of discovery has
unravelled the science behind
an incredible feat of celestial
navigation by Akaroa-born
Antarctic explorer Frank Worsley.
An international group of
researchers used Worsley’s original
logbook to analyse the voyage of
a lifeboat, the James Caird, across
1500km of rough sub-Antarctic sea
in 1916 after the Endurance was
crushed by pack ice.
Their conclusions have been
published in the Records of the
Canterbury Museum volume 32,
the museum’s annual research
publication.
The logbook is part of the
museum’s significant collection on
Antarctic exploration.
In his home town, Worsley’s
skills and unquenchable thirst
for adventure are celebrated in an
exhibition at Akaroa Museum.
A bust of the navigator also stands
near the main wharf.
Worsley’s amazing Antarctic
voyage was borne out of
desperation.
Endurance was the main ship
of the Imperial Trans-Antarctic
Expedition. It was crushed by ice in
October 1915, stranding the crew
led by Sir Ernest Shackleton.
After camping out until April
display-HN-90x12.9.pdf 2 21/12/2018 1:11:19 p.m.
1916, the expedition’s 28 members
eventually reached Elephant Island
in three lifeboats.
With winter closing in, carpenter
Harry McNish converted the
7m James Caird for open sea travel.
Six men – including Shackleton,
Worsley and McNish – then set
out for South Georgia Island to
seek help from one of the whaling
stations.
The trip took more than two
weeks, with Worsley’s job as the
navigator complicated by the rough
conditions.
He needed to check the boat’s
position using the sun, but it
was seldom seen. He also had
to estimate the longitude of the
starting position.
If this was wrong, the crew could
overshoot South Georgia Island
and all would be lost.
The research paper by Lars
Bergman (Sweden), the late George
Huxtable (United Kingdom),
Bradley Morris (United States)
and Robin Stuart (New Zealand),
provides an introduction to the
principles and methods of celestial
navigation used by Worsley to
successfully complete the voyage.
The paper also answers several
key questions over the source
materials and assumptions that
enabled Worsley’s longitude
estimate.
Remarkably, all the expedition
members were eventually rescued.
Replicating the calculations has
underlined the extraordinary feat
of navigation, Mr Stuart said.
“Worsley had to take the
sights and manually perform the
reduction calculations sitting
on ballast rocks in a small boat
heaving on ocean swells,” he says.
“Yet, for that critical 14-day
period, we did not find a single
error.
“Without Worsley’s superlative
skills as a navigator, Shackleton’s
expedition might be remembered
as a tragedy rather than the epic
tale of Antarctic survival we know
it as today.”
They also used Worsley’s logbook
to examine the possible location of
the Endurance wreck.
That research was prompted by
an international science expedition
to study ice shelves in the Weddell
Sea which also plans to locate and
survey the wreck.
The 45-day Weddell Sea
expedition, which includes
scientists from Canterbury
University, recently left Penguin
Bukta in Antarctica, heading for
the Larsen C Ice Shelf.

Uncle Harry’s cross finds a home
Two more World
War 1 crosses which
celebrated Armistice
Day at the Sumner
Redcliffs RSA have
been claimed. Jess
Gibson reports
WORLD WAR 1 memorials
honour him as Lieutenant
Harry Marshall Wright. To his
family more than 100 years on,
he remains Uncle Harry.
Lieutenant Wright enlisted
as a volunteer in 1912 and
climbed the ranks before the
war broke out in 1914.
He was living in Sumner
when he left for Gallipoli to
fight in the battle of Chunuk
Bair. The last memory his family
has of Lieutenant Wright
was a piggyback ride given to
his younger brother before he
drove away for the last time.
He embarked from Wellington
on April 17, 1915, but
was killed in action in Turkey
several months later on August
7, aged 24.
City council heritage
adviser Gareth Wright said
the death of his great uncle
impacted on the family in a
major way.
“I recall my grandfather
FOND MEMORIES:
Lieutenant Harry Marshall
Wright was last seen by his
family in 1914, piggybacking
his younger brother.
would get quite teary when he
talked about his older brother,”
said Gareth.
Lieutenant Wright’s name
appears on a number of memorials
around Christchurch.
“He’s on the memorial at the
community centre in Sumner.
He went to Christchurch Boy’s
High, so his name is on the
memorial there, and because
the family was living in Hororata
at the time he was killed,
he’s on the Hororata memorial
also,” said Gareth.
Gareth said on his trip to
Gallipoli to visit the
New Zealand memorial
at Chunuk Bair,
where his great uncle’s
name was engraved,
was “quite emotional.’’
Gareth said Lieutenant
Wright’s ceremonial
sword hangs on
the wall of his father’s
house. At his own
home in Addington,
his photo and some of his
medals are displayed.
Now, one of 21 crosses held
by the Sumner Redcliffs RSA,
that were displayed in Armistice
Day commemorations to
remember Sumner’s fallen soldiers,
will be added to Gareth’s
memorabilia.
Gareth got in touch with
RSA president Pat Boland
after he saw an article in the
Bay Harbour News that asked
descendants to take their cross.
Gareth said he is happy for
the opportunity to collect the
cross. “I’m very keen on my
family history,” he said.
He said he plans to either
keep the cross or give it to his
father, who can hang next to
his brothers sword.
A significant part of the
Wright’s family history is that,
like Gareth now, Lieutenant
Wright was a part
of the city council.
Before he was
enlisted, Lieutenant
Wright was a clerk
in the treasury department
of the city
council. His father,
Sidney Wright,
was a clerk at the
Selwyn District
Council.
“It’s a small world,” said
Gareth.
Mrs Boland is meeting
with the RSA committee
this week to arrange a ceremony
for the collection of
the crosses.
“We’re very delighted and
honoured to be able to do
that . . . we’re sure that the
crosses will find a good home
with their families,” said Mrs
Boland.

VULNERABLE: Pile-driving at Lyttelton Port Company’s planned new cruise ship
berth can cause temporary or even permanent hearing loss for the endangered
Hector’s dolphins.
Port not doing enough
to monitor dolphins
– marine biologist
• By Louis Day
A MARINE biologist has
criticised the Lyttelton
Port Company’s use of a
single observer to monitor
Hector’s dolphins in the
harbour.
LPC is currently piling
for its new cruise ship
berth. It has promised
to cease all pile driving
activity when Hector’s
dolphins come within
450m of the berth.
However, Otago
University marine biology
professor Liz Slooten said
the majority of dolphins
are likely to be undetected
by a single observer.
“With one person
looking, you are only going
to see a small fraction of
the dolphins that
are out there.”
Prof Slooten
said this could
cause a lot of
dolphins to be
vulnerable to
hearing loss.
“They use
sound for
everything –
that’s why people
often say a deaf dolphin is a
dead dolphin.”
Prof Slooten said the
size of the safety zone also
makes it difficult to detect
the dolphins.
“The probability of
detecting Hector’s dolphins
drops quite significantly
with distance,” she said.
“At about 100m you only
see about 60 per cent (of
Liz Slooten
the dolphins), and
about 200m you
only see a third,
and at 400m you
would only see
about 14 per cent
of the dolphins.”
LPC strategic
engagement
manager Phil
De Joux said he
is confident its
current plan will mitigate
the impacts of piling on the
dolphins.
“We have worked at
putting together this plan
with a group of experts
with years of experience
from multiple disciplines.”
Mr De Joux said 287
dolphins have been spotted
since it started piling at the
end of last year.
Boy racer barrier at marina
• By Louis Day
BARRIER ARMS have
been installed at the
entrance to the Te Ana
Marina car park (right)
to prevent boy racers
disturbing residents at
night.
Residents have complained
about boy racers
revving engines late at
night and early in the
morning, prompting the
Lyttelton Port Company,
which owns the marina, to
install the barrier arms.
They will remain open
during the day so vehicles
can access the car park and
the Woolstore area, but will
be closed from 9.30pm to
5.30am.
Marina berth-holders
will be able to access the
car park 24 hours a day
using their swipe key, and
the exit arm is automated
so vehicles can exit at any
time.
LPC strategic
engagement manager
Phil De Joux is confident
the barrier arms will
bring an end to boy
racers disturbing nearby
residents.
“We had previously
employed security to keep
them [boy racers] out, but
now we have moved to this
more permanent solution.”

Twins keep parents on their toes
Two years ago
Radhika Naidu gave
birth to identical
twin boys, Manu and
Dominic Wells. Emily
O’Connell catches up
with the family
“CHEERFUL, PLAYFUL and
extremely naughty.”
That’s how Radhika Naidu describes
her twin boys who were
born nine weeks premature on
January 1, 2017.
Their early arrival meant the
twins spent the first 57 days of
their life in a neonatal intensive
care unit in Christchurch
Women’s Hospital. It also meant
the pair were known as twin
one and two for six weeks, while
Ms Naidu and husband Victor
Wells decided on names which
included both their cultures.
Although the two-year-olds
are identical, Ms Naidu says they
look “so different” and their personalities
are not “alike at all.”
She said Manu, who is the
bigger twin, was the first to walk
and develop skills and Dominic
is more cheerful and observant
and “takes on adverse situations
more readily.”
Along with the twins, Ms
Naidu and Mr Wells are kept
busy with two other children,
Mia, 7, and Ariki who is threeand-half-years
old.
“I just don’t remember having to
monitor them [Mia and Ariki] all
the time like this. These guys [the
twins] egg each other on,” she said.
Ms Naidu says the biggest difference
between the twins and
her older two children is their
comprised immunity caused by a
premature birth.
“Especially Dominic, so when
he was born . . . they realised
his umbilical cord was straggly
and unhealthy looking and it
had knots in it. So it had been
comprising his blood flow from
the beginning,” she said.
Dominic has an eye condition
called nystagmus, which Ms
Naidu has been told is common
with premature babies, and he
has immature lung development
meaning he gets sick easily.
“They both have asthma and
eczema and they use preventers.
They seem to be a little better
now. We’re hoping they keep
improving,” she said.
January 2017 was a busy
month for Ms Naidu and Mr
Wells, with the birth of their
twins which “forever redefined”
New Year’s Day for them, moving
house and their first child,
Mia, starting primary school. Ms
Naidu said her husband was the
“rock” during this time.
Manu and Dominic aren’t the
only ones in the family born on
a significant day, their grandmother
Protima Naidu was born
on Christmas Day.
Ms Naidu says discovering
Mulitples Canterbury, which
supports people with twins,
triplets or more, has been “encouraging”
and has helped her
feel less isolated.
She said the organisation
provides new parents with
information such as dietary

Sustainability key
to organic farming
There’s something for
everyone in the realm of
organic farming but as far
as Bill Martin is concerned,
it’s all about sustainability.
The Training College
Manager at Lincoln
University’s Biological
Husbandry Unit Organics
Trust (BHU) is happy to see
a surge in enthusiasm for
organic food production
as younger generations
become more aware of
environmental concerns.
He says the growing
popularity of organic
production in recent years
means that graduates are
now taking what they have
learned into a broader
range of sectors.
“It’s not just about
growing, wholesaling
and retailing food anymore. They’re
going into schools and teaching primary
and secondary schoolers about the
importance of sustainable farming and
gardening and really starting to embed the
philosophy into the education system.”
As far as conventional agricultural
practices are concerned, he says farmers
should be encouraged to optimise their
production, rather than maximise it at the
expense of the environment.
“We need to change our agricultural
paradigm and re-evaluate our priorities.”
Mr Martin says those interested in a
career in organics should enrol in the
one-year Diploma in Agri-Food Production
course, which is open to students either
with or without university entrance.
Introduced last year, it includes Tikanga
and Mahinga Kai components and can
lead to employment in organic primary
production or other sectors related
to organics, especially education and
hospitality.
“The course offers a good grounding
in the principles of organic agriculture,
teaching the philosophies and histories
of organics and providing practical
knowledge of how they are applied,” Mr
Martin says.
Apply now for the Diploma in Organic
Agri-Food Production and begin studying
in February 2019.
HEALTHY TREAT: Stay-at-home dad Matt Salmons’ daughter, Vittoria, turned
one on Saturday.
Vittoria’s first
birthday party
Grow a career
in organics
Lincoln University’s Diploma in Organic Agri-Food Production will prepare
you for work in the organic sector or your own garden or smallholdings. It’s
a full-time, one-year programme that covers the theory and practice behind
contemporary organic agri-food production.
Join us in February to find out what growing organically on an agricultural
scale really means.
Learn more at www.lincoln.ac.nz or call 0800 10 60 10.
PHEW, WE’RE out of the
holiday season.
We’ve had Christmas,
New Year and last Sunday
we had the Feast of the
Epiphany, when Vittoria got
a sock full of treats from the
Christmas Witch/La Befana
– it’s an Italian thing.
We didn’t manage to
burn the traditional effigy
but we did get in a not-sotraditional
feast of fish ’n’
chips.
Now we’re back into the
swing of first birthdays.
It started on Saturday
with the most important
one (for me and Laura
anyway) – Vittoria’s.
No one tells you how
many first birthday parties
you end up going to after
you have a kid, but it makes
a whole heap of sense when
you actually think about it.
It’s seemed like we’ve had
one at least every second
weekend over the last
couple of months.
It’s great, they’re not quite
completely for the kids yet,
so they still have plenty to
keep the adults entertained
too.
They’re the perfect blend
of your favourite finger
foods from childhood,
children’s party games
and the opportunity for
extremely responsible
drinking.
I kind of feel like we
cheated with Vittoria’s since
we hosted it at an early
learning centre rather than
at home, but we certainly
did not skimp on the treats
or birthday atmosphere.
I can’t believe she’s now a
year old.
A little over a year ago we
prepared for her arrival via
caesarean at 10.31am on
Friday, January 12.
I’m not ashamed to
admit that in spite of my
unflappably stiff-upperlipped
support of Laura
through the operation, I
was a blubbering wreck as
soon as I saw Vittoria.
Just under a week later
we brought her home. She
was such a quiet wee thing,
mostly sleeping.
VITTORIA
& Matt
It was terrifying and
exciting. I feel like I’m
getting pretty good at
parenting, which is good
because she is no longer
quiet or prone to sleeping.
In fact over the last few
days she decided she didn’t
need three naps a day
anymore, as she is a big
girl now. She also worked
on polishing her tantrum
abilities and showed signs
of getting picky with food
(shudder).
But she’s still just as keen
on cuddles as she’s ever
been, is laughing a lot, and
is always curious about the
world around her.
I hope those things don’t
change for a long time to
come.

A POPULAR ute has
caught the attention of
thieves.
Toyota Hiluxes are being
stolen in large numbers
across Canterbury.
In Christchurch last
year, 133 were stolen and
more were taken in the
Selwyn district and North
Canterbury.
Acting Canterbury
district commander
Inspector Peter Cooper
said due to its popularity,
the ute is being “routinely
targeted” by thieves.
Older models may also
be stolen for parts, he said.
In 2017 and 2018, the
Hilux was the second best
selling new vehicle in New
Zealand. The top
selling vehicle was
the Ford Ranger
ute.
The theft of
Hiluxes has also
been an ongoing
problem in
Selwyn and North
Canterbury, police
said.
Rangiora
Sergeant Colin Stewart
said there was a
“significant increase” in
Hilux thefts in the area
about two months ago.
“We go through stages

where it appears they
target Hiluxes. There is
a market out there – it’s
where people are
buying parts from
dubious characters,”
he said.
But the situation
has improved since
a police operation in
Belfast two months
ago, Sergeant
Stewart said.
Rolleston Senior
Sergeant Pete Stills
said the theft of Hiluxes
has been a “constant
issue” in Selwyn. Police
recommend people
secure their vehicles in a
garage or fit them with an
immobiliser or alarm.
In spite of the police
warning, the Hilux does
not feature in the top
10 most stolen vehicles
in the country, says AA

SAFE: Make sure you check all your boating equipment, including life jackets,
regularly for any sign of wear.
‘If in doubt, throw it out’
• By Gary Manch
I DON’T know whether
it’s an age thing, but the
summer holiday break
seems to come around a
lot quicker than when I
was 16.
One thing I am certain of
is that our summers appear
to be arriving later and
later, and climate change is
certainly having an effect.
With greenhouse
warming, our ozone layer
is getting thinner.
How does this affect us as
boaties?
To put it simply, it’s like
wearing sunscreen to stop
getting burnt.
Over time life jackets
and other safety equipment
exposed to the sun
on a regular basis can
deteriorate and break down
and the equipment will not
function to the high safety
levels required.
So the million dollar
question is, how to prevent
this happening?
It’s simple really. Firstly,
do what none of us ever
do – okay some may,
but how many of you

A PETITION has been
launched in a bid to

More than 1300 people
have signed the petition,
which will be put to
Kiwibank chief executive
Steve Jurkovich and chairwoman
of the board Susan
Macken before the closure
on January 30.
It was launched by Port

better of you – you should
follow the manufacturer’s
instructions in relation to
how to look after your gear.
Secondly, check your
equipment regularly
for any sign of wear, or
breakdown of material, and
use the old saying – ‘if in
doubt, throw it out’.
When you compare the
cost of your boat, jetski, or
paddleboard to the cost of
the safety equipment you
require, it’s minimal.
Many years ago, Bell
Helmets, which are known
for quality helmets in the
motorcycling world, had
a saying and this can be
translated to many other
areas where safety is
paramount.
It went: “If you have a $10
head, wear a $10 helmet.”
New Zealand Post, which
is a joint operation with
Kiwibank, will also close on
January 30.
But NZ Post is still
planning to provide postal
and bill payment
services in Eastgate
through an agency.
Head of retail

said it is working
on shifting postal
services to another
local business and

QE II tops list for ‘code browns’
• By Sophie Cornish
CITY COUNCIL staff were kept
busy last year with 167 ‘code
browns’ closing pools across
Christchurch.
In spite of only opening on
May 31, Taiora: QE II Recreation
and Sport Centre has taken out
the ‘most poops’ title with 71
code browns and 33 vomiting
incidents. However, in defence
of the new facility, it has seven
pools.
The second biggest complex,
which has five pools, is Jellie Park
Recreation and Sport Centre.
But its outdoor pool also closes
during winter.
QE II has been popular since
opening and on 30 occasions
a one-in, one-out policy has
been applied to customers when
maximum capacity has been
reached.
City council head of recreation
sports and events Nigel Cox
believes QE II has the most
closures due to a significant
number of younger swimmers
who enjoy the multiple play
spaces.
Meanwhile, Graham Condon
Recreation and Sport Centre,
with four pools, had 47 code
browns and 20 vomiting

when there were 46 and 19
respectively.
Jellie Park had 13 code browns
and 17 vomits – less than the 21
and 21 recorded in 2017.
Pioneer Recreation and Sport
Centre, which saw the highest
number of code browns in 2017,
had a much better 2018. There
were only 34 code browns and
six vomiting incidents in the last
year – compared to the 57 and 26
in 2017.
The city council provides
tips on its website on how to
ensure its pools stay open,
offering pointers for parents and
caregivers who should take extra
care when accompanying a child
to the pool.
The tips include allowing
food to settle before swimming,
making sure your child has been
to the toilet before entering the
pool and reminding your child
that it is okay to get out of the
pool to go to the toilet during
swimming lessons, just let their
tutor know.
If the water in the pool does
not meet the required quality
standard, the pool has to be
cleared of swimmers then treated
and cleaned.
Cleaning times vary for
different pools and facilities. It
can range from 40min for a spa
pool to 12hr 40min for a lane
pool.

Skoda has sprung the Octavia

because there is little weight in the

comfort and ability has been a

Yet there is another surprise
with the Scout, it has fourwheel-drive.
With just 171mm

considered an off-road vehicle,
however, I took the test car onto a
cross-country track to take photos
and was impressed with its
suspension control and in-cabin
comfort over some gnarly bumps
and ruts. I can see it as a good
alternative to the mainstream cars
which tackle the skifield access
roads over winter.
Not only did I put the Scout to
good use during the time it was in
my care, but it also reinforced my
desire for the 2-litre diesel engine.
Sadly, not enough Kiwi buyers
warm to diesel, and I still can’t
quite figure that out. The Scout
in this form would certainly
be a car I would consider as a
functional form of daily transport

Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre

intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,

The removal of funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stan down, citing it as her “die

Ms Jone said the board’s role
is to represen the community,

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.
Body corporate chairman Mike
White said the group had gone
into mediation with IAG and EQC
on February 20, and signed off
on a deal with IAG on February
2 – coincidenta ly seven years
to the day after the February 2,
20 1, earthquake. However, they
are waiting for EQC to sign the
agr ement.
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted
the agr ement, there’ l be no
problem with them doing that.”
The apartment suffere damage

earthquakes and were demolished in
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the
difference betw en indemnity value,
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body
corporate.
The mediation agr ement
prevented Mr White from disclosing
the se tlement amount, but he said it
involved the two parties paying “a bit
more money than they’d wanted to
earlier.”
