KEEP OUT: The Lyttelton Port Company has advised members of the public to
keep out of the yellow areas at all times.
Port company blasting
at Gollans Bay Quarry
• By Louis Day
THE LYTTELTON Port
Company has started
blasting in Gollans Bay
Quarry.
The first blast took
place on Thursday. The
operation will include more
blasting and the use of large
earth-moving and mining
machinery.
LPC has advised
members of the public to
keep out of the quarry area,
which is owned by the port
company, and stick to city
council walking tracks.
LPC infrastructure
manager Mike Simmers
said the blasting will
typically occur about
noon, depending on the
site activity and other
constraints.
Mr Simmers said the
blasting would be relatively
quiet compared to the
piling for the harbour’s new
cruise berth.
“It may be audible in
Diamond Harbour, but
very unlikely to be heard
in Lyttelton itself. The blast
yesterday was not noticed at
our office,” he said.
The material collected
from the quarrying will
go towards LPC’s land
reclamation project in
which it tis looking to
expand the harbour by
24ha.
“Initial estimates indicate
up to 3.5 million cu m of
material is available from
the quarry.
“However, this may not
all be used to complete
the additional 24ha of
reclamation.”

on how
the club
made it a birthday to
remember for young
Andr’e Rasmussen
THE combination of a
Rotary club, Santa Claus
and a birthday in January
was kind for Andr’e
Rasmussen over summer.
The Bay Harbour threeyear-old
received a big
present which has added a
new dimension to his life.
Andr’e has numerous
disabilities, including
restricted movement and
minimal sight. He has been
unable to interact easily
with other children, and
unable to share in most of
his family’s activities.
That changed when he
received a Go Baby Go car

impaired mobility. The cars
are adapted to individual
children’s conditions and
needs, and have dual control
– the child can steer,
but an adult has over-riding
control from a remote.
The aim is to help
children develop spatial
awareness and allow them
to be part of the family
action. Ferrymead
Rotary heard about
Andr’e and funded his
$1600 car through a
special quiz night.
His mum Dannii,
saw potential for
the car to help him
interact with other
children and to allow
him to take a greater
part in family life.
And her hopes have
been fulfilled. Going
to the park is a family
favourite, and Andr’e
has ridden to the local
library and along the
New Brighton pier.
“It has added a lot
more quality of life for
Andr’e and he’s happier
in the family,” said Ms
Rasmussen.
