PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER Beach access one step further forward • By Louis Day THE FIRST set of permanent access steps between the planned Coastal Pathway and Sumner beach have been completed. Work on the second steps started last week. City council transport planning and delivery manager Lynette Ellis said work on the 4m-wide Coastal Pathway would start this month once the rock revetment wall had been completed. One crew is currently working on the Shag Rock end of the rock revetment wall towards Gollans Point, and another crew is working from the Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club towards the other crew. The rock revetment wall has been designed to provide coastal protection to Main Rd, as well as to support the Coastal Pathway which will run along the top. •Turn to page 7 Big changes looming for Banks Peninsula Community Board • By Louis Day WHOLESALE changes loom for the Banks Peninsula Community Board. Five members of the board may not stand in October’s local body elections due to concerns over the money board members receive and the time pressures they face. Chairwoman Pam Richardson, and members Jed O’Donoghue, Janis Haley and John McLister told BayHarbour News they are unlikely to run in the next election, while Felix Dawson said he has not made a commitment to run yet. Tori Peden said she plans to run again while newly-appointed deputy chairman Tyrone Fields said he would run if he was selected. The pay rates for the mayor, city councillors and community board members are currently set by the Remuneration Authority using a population-based model, so boards in areas with bigger populations get better remuneration. •Turn to page 4 A BRANCH OF Feature Listing... 23 Panorama Road, Clifton, Sumner 3 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 2 car garaging Adam Curtin Solicitor akc@younghunter.co.nz Michelle Rossiter Legal Executive mjr@younghunter.co.nz Proudly providing legal advice to the community for over 25 years P 03 384 5350 www.younghunter.co.nz 186 Main Road, Redcliffs auction rwferrymead.co.nz/OPA24585 Auction Saturday 23 March at 11am, on site (unless sold prior) Special evening viewing: Thursday 7 March 5pm-6pm Open Homes: Sunday 12pm-12.45pm, or by appointment Call the Standevens View 3D Homeview Floorplan and Walkthrough video at http://www.nz.open2view.com/ properties/447264 • One of the best positions on Clifton Hill for exceptional all day sun and views • Designed by local architect Phillip Bidwell - completed in 2016 • Enclosed deck area with inbuilt fire, offers exceptional year-round entertaining • Easy drive on access, double garage and off-street parking • Take advantage of Sumner living beach, cafes, bars, valley walks and Brownlee Reserve nearby Simon Standeven 0274 304 691 Paula Standeven 027 547 2852 21 Humphreys Drive, Ferrymead rwferrymead.co.nz | /TheStandevens today.
