News Targeted rate plan to rid Banks Peninsula of pests • By Louis Day MORE THAN 20,000 households across Banks Peninsula may have to pay a targeted rate for pest control. Environment Canterbury’s proposed Pest-Free Banks Peninsula strategy would affect 21,276 rateable properties on the peninsula. Public consultation on the proposal has closed and it will go to a hearings panel next month before the plan is finalised. Different properties would pay different rates, depending on their size and value. “It would be based 80 per cent on land value, and 20 per cent on land area. The targeted rate formula would be approximately $5 per $100,000 land value plus $0.65 per hectare of land,” said Maree Willetts, ECan team leader of strategy, planning, biodiversity and biosecurity. Ms Willetts said the project would focus on eradicating feral goats and controlling pests, such as TARGETS: Environment Canterbury is planning a targeted rate to help eradicate all pests on Banks Peninsula by 2050.

Wednesday March 20 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 7 Lyttelton church garden comes to life • By Louis Day ELIZABETH Barrie was heartbroken when she saw the state of the garden at Lyttelton’s St Saviours at Holy Trinity church. “The weeds were taller than the rose bushes,” she said. Since then, Mrs Barrie has been on a mission to restore the garden to its former glory. After commuting from her home in Redcliffs three to five times a week for the last five months, Mrs Barrie has achieved this. She has weeded the garden, planted roses, petunias, cosmos, cornflower, portulaca hydrangea and a lemon tree. Mrs Barrie, who grew up in Lyttelton, was baptised and married at the Holy Trinity Church, which was on the site until it was demolished following the earthquakes. “When I was a child and I used to go, there was this lemon tree under the corner of the garden, so the other day I planted a little lemon tree.” However, Mrs Barrie said there was still work to be done. “It is an ongoing issue really, it is a beautiful spot, it is a community thing, it is so much more than just a church.” The priest of the Parish of Lyttelton Reverend John McLister commended Mrs Barrie’s efforts. “We are very grateful for what she has done, we have had people come in for weddings and funerals who have been very appreciative of her work,” he said. St Saviours Church was moved onto the Winchester St site after the Holy Trinity Church was demolished. Rev McLister said the garden had been restored to its former glory but there was still work DEDICATION: Elizabeth Barrie has restored the St Saviours at Holy Trinity church garden to its former glory as a volunteer. PHOTO MARTIN HUNTER to be done on the rest of the grounds. “The grounds are still badly damaged, the stone masonry is badly damaged and it is a work in progress. It will take years to restore it back to where it used to be and a considerable financial cost.” City council applies for NZTA funding • By Louis Day THE CITY council is applying for funding for a section of the Coastal Pathway. The section between Shag Rock and Sumner Surf Life Saving Surf Club is estimated to cost about $6 million. City council planning and delivery transport manager Lynette Ellis said this section of the Coastal Pathway would be completed to schedule even if the New Zealand Transport Agency did not grant the funding. “NZTA subsidise between 50 and 75 per cent of eligible parts of projects. Construction on this section of the pathway is already underway,” she said. Landscaping and lighting improvements are also part of the project expected to be completed by mid-October. Ms Ellis said the entire project when completed would provide a multi-functional pathway to benefit the community and visitors. “The asphalt path will run between Shag Rock and Gollans Point, and will then transition to a boardwalk along the front of the car park and the Sumner Surf Lifesaving Club where it connects with the existing memorial walkway.” JOIN US NOW!
