More time to explain quarry Fulton Hogan must respond by Tuesday • By Anan Zaki FULTON HOGAN has been given more time to respond to requests for additional information about its controversial quarry plan near Weedons. Environment Canterbury and the district council asked Fulton Hogan in December for additional details about its plan to quarry at a 170ha site bordered by Curraghs, Dawsons, Jones and Maddisons Rds. Fulton Hogan Simon Moore told the two councils in January it would respond to the requests by Thursday last week. But on Wednesday, ECan said Fulton Hogan asked for more time to provide the most up-to-date information, including a revised draft cleanfill management plan and a visual impact assessment. ECan said Fulton Hogan’s MORE TIME: Fulton Hogan has until Tuesday to respond to requests for more information about its proposed quarry near Weedons. response is now expected by Tuesday. Weedons Residents’ Association member Simon Moore believed Fulton Hogan has given itself an “optimistic” time frame. “It doesn’t matter, we’re ready,” Mr Moore said. Mr Moore was also disappointed ECan and the district council had not offered generic submission writing help sessions for Weedons residents. The city council offered six generic submission writing sessions to Templeton residents. A number of Weedons residents attended the city council event because the district council and ECan did not offer the sessions, Mr Moore said. ECan consent and planning manager Virginia Loughnan said it and the district council will not provide the sessions until the resource consent application is publicly notified. “We are choosing to run these during the notification period as that is when the public can make submissions and therefore is more timely and can help inform an actual submission as the whole application will be available then,” she said. Said Mr Moore: “What’s the point of that? Why?” “Why do we have to wait? It’s going to be a rush as it is. I just don’t see any point,” he said. Fulton Hogan submitted a resource consent application to quarry near Templeton and Weedons in late November. ECan requested more information about the scope of the application, Canterbury air regional plan assessments, effects on air quality, dust management, groundwater effects, well use, effects on water races, aggregate washdown water, truck washing, stormwater discharges, land contamination, hazardous substance storage, clean-fill management and site rehabilitation. The district council requested more information on transportation matters, noise, landscape, assessment of effects, mitigation measures and planning and other general information.

Adventure race to finish in Akaroa • By Louis Day AKAROA WILL be the final destination for one of the world’s largest adventure races. On Sunday, 250 competitors in the GODZone Adventure Race will start a seven-day journey to navigate their way through a 600km course, which will stretch throughout Canterbury and finish in Akaroa. The location of the start line will be announced this week. Said GODZone media manager Margo Berryman: “It is the largest in terms of team numbers and the length of the race.” Competitors from all over the world will race in teams of four and have to execute a range of disciplines, such as mountain biking, trekking, kayaking, canoeing and pack-rafting. The official welcome and race briefing will be held at The Gaiety in Akaroa on Saturday. Ms Berryman said Canterbury was the perfect location to host the event. “Canterbury was an obvious location that we all knew we would eventually end up going to. It has an amazing landscape and has an amazing adventure background.” The event is being welcomed by the Akaroa District Promotions Society, which is made up of a group of business operators in the area. “An event the size of GODZone has a significant regional benefit with competitors staying for to 10-15 days and purchasing accommodation, food, rental vehicles and participating in sightseeing activities in the region,” said executive officer Hollie Hollander. 5 Warning Signs of Spinal Stress!
