Further tension over wharf structures 

• By Louis Day 

TENSION BETWEEN fishermen and 

the city council continues over nonconsented 

structures on Akaroa wharf. 

In July last year, the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board gave Black 

Cat Cruises three months to remove 

all non-consented structures, such as 

disability access ramps, seating, signage 

and canopies. 

But the two ramps still remain 

nearly three months after they were 

meant to be removed. 

Akaroa Fishermen’s Association head 

John Wright said the disability ramps 

were not even being used to cater for 

the disabled. 

“If there was a disabled person trying 

to enter the building they couldn’t. The 

ramps that they say are for the disabled 

are not being used for that reason, they 

are being used for drying and airing 

the boots and wetsuits.” 

The use of the ramps as an area to dry 

wetsuits and other clothing not only 

impedes the entrance of the building but 

is also in breach of orders made by the 

Banks Peninsula Community Board in 

June to keep the ramp clear at all times. 

“It looks like we have got our knives 

into Black Cat, that’s not the case at all, 

we just want the rules the council put 

in place enforced.” 

Black Cat Cruises chief executive 

Paul Milligan understood that the 

boots blocking the disability ramp were 

not a good look.

Handmade 

items fit for a 

prime minister 

and her baby 

In just three years, 13-yearold 

Zoe Elmey has sold 

more than 4500 gift cards 

which feature her artwork, 

with the Prime Minister 

Jacinda Ardern recently 

becoming one of her many 

happy recipients. Zoe is not 

your typical teenager and 

spends the majority of her 

free time sewing baby bibs 

and burping cloths for her 

baby product range.

from the editor’s desk 

IT’S GREAT to see young people 

succeeding and on page 4 today we have a 

good example. 

Thirteen-year-old Zoe Elmey is making 

every post a winner with her burgeoning 

gift card and baby product business, and 

even has Jacinda Ardern as a fan. The prime minister has sent 

her a message of thanks. 

Zoe has always had a penchant for arts and crafts and like 

others with sporting talent, for example, she has excelled at a 

young age. The world is Zoe’s oyster when it comes to business, I 

suspect. This venture will no doubt be a stepping stone to bigger 

and bolder plans. 

Not such good news for the delay in getting Tug Lyttelton 

back on the water for tourists (page 3). 

The port needs it.

TUG LYTTELTON’S first 

passenger cruise in three years 

has been delayed again. 

The cruise was originally 

scheduled to take place in 

December but was pushed back 

to this month. 

It has now 

been delayed 

again until next 

month. 

Tug Lyttelton 

Preservation 

Society head 

stoker Mike 

Bruce said there 

Mike Bruce 

is still paperwork to complete 

before any passenger cruises on 

the restored tug can take place. 

“The boat is fine, everything 

is absolutely tickety-boo there. 

We are just waiting on the final 

sign-off from the maritime safety 

authority.” 

Mr Bruce said once the 

paperwork has been completed, 

it could take up to three weeks 

to prepare the boat for passenger 

cruises. 

“If we get the sign-off at the 

end of this week, we will have to 

reheat the boiler. That’s going to 

take five to six days to do, then it 

is going to take a few days to get 

a roster together. After that it’s 

going to be a good two to three 

tree trouble?

Lyttelton Community 

Association chairman 

Ken Maynard said he 

was becoming concerned 

the tug boat might not 

return at all. 

“It would be a massive 

loss if it was lost forever.

puzzle in Lyttelton, if 

it goes it could have an

One Lyttelton cafe owner, 

who did not want to

brought a lot of business 

to the area.

Stephen Mateer said it did

Mr Mateer, a self-confessed 

“greenie”, did not appreciate the 

tug’s impact on the environment. 

“The tug boat burns coal 

and lets out a large amount 

of black smoke. If it could be 

re-powered with more of an 

environmentally-friendly design, 

that would be great.”

MAJESTIC PRINCESS DEATH 

A male passenger died on board 

the Majestic Princess cruise ship 

in Akaroa on Sunday. Police said 

the 68-year-old from the United 

States suffered a “medical event” 

while eating breakfast at 6.30am. 

Sergeant Phil Bayne said the death 

has been referred to the coroner. 

The man’s family in the US have 

been notified. 

FIRE BRIGADE FUNDRAISER 

The Diamond Harbour Volunteer 

Fire Brigade raised $1600 at its 

barbecue fundraiser on Saturday. 

The brigade raised $800 from 

the barbecue and another 

$800 was donated by a local 

businessman. Chief fire officer 

Bob Palmer was overwhelmed 

by the community’s support. The 

money raised will go towards a 

new support vehicle. The brigade 

has raised about one quarter of 

the vehicle’s cost so far. 

$75K TO RESTORE COTTAGE 

The city council has put aside 

$75,000 for the remediation of 

Jeannie’s Cottage in Akaroa. 

Deputy Mayor and Banks 

Peninsula city councillor Andrew 

Turner has been concerned about 

the state of the cottage for a long 

time. Cr Turner said once the 

cost of the work is finalised, the 

remediation will start as soon as 

possible.

Teen’s gift card business booming 

Baby gear 

impresses 

Jacinda Ardern 


SUMNER 13-YEAR-OLD Zoe 

Elmey has sold more than 4500 

gift cards featuring her own 

designs, with the prime minister 

being her most notable recipient. 

Zoe sent some of her cards, 

and bibs and teething rings 

from her baby product range to 

Jacinda Ardern as part of the 

prime minister’s Christmas card 

competition. 

The former Sumner School 

student was astounded when she 

received a letter from Ms Ardern 

thanking her for the gifts. 

“It was amazing I didn’t expect 

anything back, I thought it was 

just going to add to the pile of 

things she probably receives.” 

Zoe started the business when 

she was 10, since then her cards 

have been sold in 22 stores across 

the country as well as a shop in 

Eastbourne, south-east England. 

She has 26 different designs 

which feature on various pieces 

of artwork. 

Fifty per cent of the proceeds 

of a turtle card are donated 

to Greenpeace to help them 

continue to protect turtles from 

plastic pollution. 

She has also recently started 

her own baby range which was 

inspired by the arrival of her 

newborn sister Hollyanne. 

“I made so much stuff for her, 

I was knitting and sewing and I 

just loved the bibs and the teething 

rings so I just started selling 

them.” 

Zoe sews all of the baby bibs, 

burp cloths and material covering 

her teething rings by hand, 

which can take up to 20min. 

“I’m probably different to the 

usual teenager hanging out at the 

beach and stuff. Basically, any 

free time I have after school I’m 

sewing and working on the baby 

range.” 

Zoe’s mother Becky Nisbet 

CREATIVE: Zoe spends a lot of her free time sewing the items 

in her baby product range. Right – A letter of thanks from 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

said she had shown potential 

from a very young age. 

“When Zoe was at pre-school 

she would spend all day doing 

arts and crafts and making 

presents for me when other kids 

were in the playground and 

sandpit.” 

Ms Nisbet said she started 

the business for her daughter to 

encourage her to pursue a career 

in art. 

“My older sister was good at 

art and my parents pushed her 

into graphic design and away 

from art, I wanted Zoe to do 

something she loved and not just 

something that makes money.” 

Zoe and her mother were 

forced to move house to accommodate 

her booming business. 

“We had boxes of her cards 

all through the living room and 

especially with having a baby 

I got a bit fed up with that, so I 

wanted a house that had an office 

for her.” 

Zoe’s business boomed after 

her mother would show her 

cards to gift shops while they 

were on holiday. 

“I just can’t help myself, we go 

into the shop and just show them 

the cards and they either show 

an interest or not, they often do 

though.” 

Akaroa Dolphins Shop’s 

Natalie Stuart said Zoe’s cards 

were extremely popular with 

customers. 

“People come in and are 

astounded that the cards were 

made by someone so young, they 

sell like hot cakes.”

CRAYFISH POTS continue to

But there is debate over

However, Jason Wright, a 

fisherman of more than 20 years, 

said he didn’t think the craypots 

were being stolen. 

He believes vessels are simply 

running them over. It was also 

normal for craypots to get lost at 

sea and he says he would lose at 

least six pots a year. 

“It’s just the way it is,

Akaroa Police Senior

THE MONCKS Bay tram 

shelter will remain closed due to

The 85-year-old building on 

Main Rd has been closed 

since Christmas Eve. 

A recent assessment 

indicated the condition of 

the roof has compromised 

the structural integrity 

of the shelter, leaving it 

vulnerable to quakes. 

City council transport

Steffan Thomas said he 

was not sure how long the shelter

Redcliffs Residents’ Association

“We have been asking them

“The Moncks Bay tram

see that it is fenced off. However,

EXCITED: 

Vittoria 

opening a 

mini-mountain 

of presents. 

Big day out for 

first birthday 

OUR WEE lady is a year 

old. Far out. 

Her first birthday was 

awesome and a big day for 

all involved, starting with 

her baptism at St Mary’s 

Pro Cathedral. 

Being unbaptised myself 

and never having been to 

one, I was really worried 

about what I would have 

to do. 

It was actually a really 

nice and easy experience. 

The priest was really good 

and it was special to be able 

to share the experience 

with another family also 

baptising their one-yearold 

daughter. 

In spite of being super 

wriggly these days, Vittoria 

managed to behave herself 

right through. She didn’t 

even squirm when the 

priest applied the holy 

water to her forehead and 

only talked over him a 

handful of times. 

My sister-in-law Sarah 

and best mate Codey had 

both kindly made the trip 

from Australia for her 

baptism and birthday. 

And to take on the 

responsibility as Vittoria’s 

godparents, something 

that’s quite a big deal for 

Italians. 

For Vittoria’s party itself, 

Laura was lucky enough 

to win us the awesome 

prize of having it hosted at 

Baby Sensory. With games, 

songs, toys, bubbles and 

even a baby-sized bouncy 

castle. 

The prize even included 

a custom cake. I’m not sure 

we’ll be able to top it next 

year. 

Including Vittoria, there 

were 13 babies around the 

age of one. It was like the 

cutest swarm of locusts 

you’ve ever seen, watching 

them mob the most 

popular toys. 

In the words of her 

new godmother, Vittoria 

rocked her party. She was 

everywhere and non-stop. 

I loved watching her 

have so much fun with 

her friends and there was 

plenty of full body smiles 

coming from Laura as she 

watched, so I knew we felt 

the same. 

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

Vittoria’s day finished 

by opening the minimountain 

of presents and 

getting way too excited 

before bed with her brand 

new paddling pool/ball pit. 

A very lucky girl indeed. 

Sunday was, by necessity, 

very relaxed. Bubs even 

managed an early night

3000 sign Dark Star petition 


THE PETITION to extend 

the statutory building 

approval of the Godley 

House site, which is 

currently owned by Dark 

Star Ale House and Cafe, 

has received more than 

3000 signatures. 

The petition on 

change.org calls for the 

sites statutory building 

approval to be extended 

“until such time as new 

services are built on the 

Godley House site” to 

attract a new business to 

take over from the Dark 

Star when it closes in 

March. 

Owners of the Dark Star 

Ale House and Cafe will 

present the petition to the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

on February 4. 

Co-owner Martin Richardson 

said the petition 

was more about a business 

filling the gap left behind 

by the Dark Star rather 

than him and his wife being 

able to sell the site. 

Mr Richardson said 

they had tried to sell the 

business, but the limited 

time remaining on the site’s 

building approval had put 

potential buyers off. 

“If the petition isn’t accepted, 

it would mean there 

isn’t that venue anymore, 

which means there is a 

massive hole in the community.”

Andrew Norris 

Making a career out of fighting fires 

Governors Bay Volunteer 

Fire Brigade chief Andrew 

Norris marked 30 years 

working at the Fire and 

Emergency New Zealand 

communications centre. 

Louis Day caught up with 

the veteran shift manager 

Where did you grow up? 

I was born in Lyttelton 

and grew up there. I went to 

Lyttelton West School and then 

Hagley High School. I moved to 

Governors Bay about 22 years 

ago. 

Tell me about your family. 

I come from a large Lyttelton 

family. I am one of seven kids, 

my father worked on the wharf 

for the Lyttelton Harbour Board 

as a crane driver. My mother 

died when I was a young kid. I 

am married to Rita, who is the 

school secretary at Lyttelton 

Primary School, and I have got 

a daughter Anita who works at 

Ferrymead Pharmacy. I also have 

a son Alex. 

Alex works in communications 

alongside me, he is on a different 

watch but he works in there. 

Both Anita and Alex are also 

volunteer firefighters like myself 

in Governors Bay. Anita has been 

a volunteer for six years and Alex 

has been one for three years.

Our People 

The man you call when there’s a fire 

•From page 9 

What do you love about your 

job? 

I suppose even though we are 

doing the same thing all the time, 

there is a lot of variety and it’s 

almost like a game of chess where 

you are allocating fire crews to 

jobs and moving others around 

to maintain coverage. 

How has the service changed 

over the last 30 years? 

Technology. When I started it 

was a pen and paper operation 

and we controlled just the 

mid-Canterbury area. Over 

the years, other control rooms 

have closed down and we now 

cover the whole South Island. 

We are one of three control 

rooms in New Zealand and we 

are fully computerised, with 

vehicle tracking systems and a 

massive street database and we 

are now co-located with police 

and ambulance in the new 

Emergency Services Precinct. 

Was it hard adapting to the 

new technology? 

Not really because it has been 

quite gradual and I had the 

benefit of being a bit younger 

then, but it was certainly hard for 

the older people who were there 

at the time. But now it is just 

second nature for people. 

How many years do you plan 

READY TO GO: Members of the Governors Bay, Diamond Harbour, Lyttelton, Waikuku, West Melton and Bottle Lake fire brigades 

during an annual training day at the Governors Bay Fire Station. 

to stay with Fire and Emergency 

New Zealand? 

I plan to stay in Fire and 

Emergency for another 10 years 

until retirement. 

What do you plan to do in 

your retirement? 

If I live that long Rita and I 

enjoy travelling in our caravan 

and just hovering around 

at home and I enjoy being a 

volunteer firefighter as well. After 

retirement, I plan to continue to 

volunteer as a firefighter. At the 

moment, I’m the volunteer chief. 

I will probably step down from 

that role in the near future, but 

I plan to just stick around in a 

support capacity because I enjoy 

hovering around at the station, 

doing maintenance and testing 

equipment. 

What would you like to see in 

the brigade’s future? 

I suppose it is on the right 

track in the way that it is aiming 

for full integration of rural and 

urban fire services. I would like 

to see that completed with full 

equality. Everything about the 

service is really good, but we still 

have a way to go to complete that 

process. Also, I would like to see 

a better working relationship 

with Civil Defence. 

Would you say your 

colleagues are like a second 

family? 

Certainly in the volunteer 

side of things we are. At the 

communications centre, we have 

a good working relationship and 

we know a lot about each other’s 

families. But due to the fact we 

work 12-hour shifts together, 

with the same people, the time 

apart is also very important to 

maintain healthy relationships. 

You imagine sitting with a 

colleague, a couple metres 

from them 12 hours a day, 48 

hours on the trot, and then 

spending time outside of work 

as well, sometimes it can be a bit 

overwhelming. So that time apart 

is definitely important.

Genevieve 

Robinson 

of Maui and 

Hector’s 

Dolphin 

Defenders 

shares her 

concerns over the impact 

piling for the new cruise 

berth in Lyttelton Harbour 

is having on Hector’s 

dolphins 

EIGHT YEARS ago, when I 

moved north to Christchurch, 

I had little knowledge of the 

Hector’s dolphin, or of its 

endangered status. 

When I received word that 

the local dolphin population 

was at risk from the impacts associated 

with pile-driving noise 

at Lyttelton Port, I jumped in 

my car to hear the metallic, 

echoed drone. 

Marine scientists often 

compared the underwater noise 

levels of pile-driving activities 

for marine mammals, to that of 

a gunshot at close range. 

Often deafening, and often 

frightening. 

It’s a known fact, that during 

past piling operations at the 

port of Lyttelton, scientists 

noticed behavioural changes in 

the local dolphin population. 

Individuals fled, were displaced 

into areas of greater risk, 

and barely echolocated to other 

pod members. 

Which brings me to my main 

areas of concern for this new 

cruise berth project. 

Since LPC’s marine-based 

piling commenced in November 

2018, 287 Hector’s dolphins 

have been spotted within 

its 450m observation zone. 

Now, that might seem like an 

abundance of healthy little dolphins, 

but what scientists and 

researchers see, is a substantial 

increase in risk. 

Lyttelton Port Company’s 

new Cruise berth design includes 

a combination of both 

marine, and land-based piling – 

with 400 piles driven, in total. 


Dolphin concern continues 

As part of its Marine Mammal 

Management Plan, LPC 

has included trained observers 

to spot dolphins before, during, 

and after piling activities. 

But where this plan falls 

short, is just how many trained 

observers there are on-site – 

one. 

Although spotting dolphins 

from a distance, is pretty 

much “hit and miss,” the more 

observers operating in one 

shift, or even in rotation, means 

less of risk to Hector’s of either 

physical, or behavioural 

Lyttelton is one of only five 

industrial harbours in the 

world to be graced with the daily 

presence of dolphins, and is 

the only port to host the world’s 

smallest dolphin species. 

LPC’s unsophisticated mitigation 

and monitoring planning 

leaves it wide open to the 

scrutiny it often deserves. 

Might I finish with one final 

request? Where on earth is the 

test-pile sound data requested 

more than four months ago, 

and the C-pod analysis? 

Lyttelton Port 

Company chief 

executive Peter 

Davie responds to 

Genevieve 

Robinson’s 

concerns and 

provides an update on how 

the new cruise berth is 

progressing

LPC HAS worked with some of 

New Zealand’s leading experts 

from Cawthron Institute, Blue 

Planet Marine and DOC to develop 

ways to minimise the potential 

impacts and manage the risks. 

This is set out in our 25-page Marine 

Mammal Management Plan, 

which has been developed after 

months of meticulous research by 

some of New Zealand’s leading marine 

mammal experts and advice 

from DOC. 

One of the key mitigation measures 

is the 450m exclusion zone 

around the piling where if a dolphin 

is seen then piling cannot start, 

or must stop, until they leave the 

area. Observers, who are from Blue 

Planet Marine, an independent organisation 

who specialise in marine 

mammal observation, are present 

before, during and after operations 

at the site, and have attended and 

passed a DOC-approved marine 

mammal observer course. 

This course is designed for the 

seismic industry where a single observer 

is expected to spot mammals 

within a 1500m exclusion zone 

from the deck of a ship in a rolling 

sea. Our observer has a much 

easier job, only having to observe 

a 450m zone from fixed, elevated 

platforms on the construction site. 

The number of observers is dependent 

on the visibility conditions. 

In normal visibility conditions, 

there is one observer. However, if 

conditions deteriorate, an additional 

observer will be added in a second 

separate observation location. If 

conditions are defined as poor 

visibility and it is so bad that it is difficult 

to see in the zone, then piling 

ceases until conditions improve. 

Between December 7 and 19, 

observers spotted 287 Hector’s 

dolphins, 219 of which were inside 

the 450m zone. None of these were 

spotted while piling was under way 

suggesting experts assessments 

were correct, and during piling 

dolphins avoid the immediate area, 

returning once piling ceases. 

We also paused starting piling 20 

times, after dolphins were spotted 

in the zone during pre-piling 

processes. Operations only commenced 

once the dolphins had 

moved on. 

Our hydrophones are also in 

place and collecting data. LPC 

has developed excellent working 

partnerships with some of the 

leading marine mammal and 

acoustic experts. We will work 

with those experts to publish 

the results and findings of our 

extensive monitoring programme 

and research. Following this, the 

underlying data will be available for 

public use.

UNSETTLED: Governors Bay residents guide llamas Echo and Lily back to 

their farm on Zephyr Tce. 

Llama drama in Governors Bay 


IT TOOK seven people to 

contain two llamas which 

escaped from their farm in 

Governors Bay. 

Governors Bay resident 

of 22 years Gail Weaver 

said she was quite surprised 

to see two llamas 

running around at the bottom 

of her driveway. 

Mrs Weaver said it only 

took twenty minutes to 

reunite the two stray llamas 

with their herd. 

“They were very good, I 

don’t think any of us had 

to touch the llamas at all, 

we just encouraged them 

in the right direction, 

they were very happy and 

docile. Somebody was also 

in a car and parked across 

the road to stop them from 

going downhill.” 

The two llamas, Echo 

and Lily are now safe and 

sound with the rest of their 

herd. 

“When we got them up 

to the field, a lot of other 

llamas came up to them 

and greeted them.” 

Owner of the llamas 

Simon Gurnsey said Echo 

and Lily were apparently 

unsettled after shearing 

from the previous week. 

Mr Gurnsey did not wish 

to speak further with the 

Bay Harbour News. 

Mrs Weaver said the way 

residents pulled together to 

help had a lot to say about 

the Governors Bay Community. 

“Governors Bay is a 

good community full of 

good people that will help 

others.” 

School construction on track 


REDCLIFFS SCHOOL is 

on track to be completed 

by 2020. 

The relocation of the 

sewer main and removal 

of remaining vegetation 

was completed over the 

Christmas holidays. 

The foundations of the 

new school are now set 

to be put in place so construction 

can begin. 

Redcliffs School principal 

Rose McInerney said 

she was delighted to see 

the new school start to 

come together. 

“The school is the heart 

of the community and it 

always has been, so it’s 

kind of like bringing the 

heart back.” 

The school has been 

based in van Asch Deaf 

Education Centre in Sumner 

for the last seven and a 

half years after the school 

was damaged in the 2011 

earthquakes. 

The relocation of the 

school to the old Redcliffs 

Park site has prompted a 

reshuffle of the local traffic 

system. 

Mrs McInerney acknowledged 

the impact 

that this would have on 

Redcliffs residents. 

“I’m very aware that 

change is hard for a community, 

but for us, as a 

school, we are so excited 

because in one years time 

we are going to be back in 

our own community.” 

Woolstore close to being filled 


THE EMPTY Woolstore 

building on Lyttelton’s 

Te Ana Marina is close to 

being filled. 

The Woolstore has been 

empty since it opened in 

October, with residents 

growing frustrated that it 

has not been filled with a 

restaurant, cafe or shop of 

some sort. 

Lyttelton Port 

Company marketing manager 

Simon Munt, however, 

said the building was close 

to being filled. 

“We are currently in final 

discussions with a wellrespected 

tenant with a 

track-record of creative developments 

who will bring 

a range of exciting retail 

and hospitality offerings to 

the remaining space in the 

Woolstore building.” 

Mr Munt said they 

expected to make an announcement 

in the near 

future. 

Lyttelton Community 

Association chairman Ken 

Maynard was disappointed 

it was taking so long to fill 

the building. 

“It is a good pedestrian 

access to the waterfront, 

about the only one we have 

got in fact, and a lot of people 

get down there and you 

have got this great big empty 

old warehouse. What we 

do have is a caravan selling 

sausage rolls and as good 

as those sausage rolls are, 

we could probably do with 

something a bit more than 

that.”
