residents<br />
‘over it’<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE CITY council has<br />
apologised for failing to prevent<br />
Marriner St in Sumner from<br />
flooding after the heavy rainfall<br />
last week.<br />
The apology comes after the<br />
city council promised action to<br />
prevent further<br />
flooding on<br />
the street last<br />
year. In <strong>May</strong><br />
last year, a<br />
city council<br />
spokesperson<br />
told <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News<br />
Darrell<br />
Latham<br />
the drain<br />
outlet, which<br />
is located on<br />
Scarborough Beach, would be<br />
cleared prior to future weather<br />
events.<br />
However, the drain was not<br />
cleared on Monday last week,<br />
which resulted in the flooding.<br />
“Unfortunately, the action<br />
plan was not followed correctly<br />
for the Marriner St pipe outlet<br />
due to a miscommunication<br />
between the city council and<br />
the contractor, for which we are<br />
sorry,” said city council land<br />
INUNDATED: Marriner St in Sumner flooded after heavy rain last week because the city council failed to clear a drain.<br />
drainage operations team leader<br />
Mark Mullen.<br />
Marriner St resident Rob<br />
O’Neill said the flooding has<br />
been a problem for the past 24<br />
years. “We are just over it. They<br />
have promised to address it for<br />
as long as I can remember. It is<br />
a bit of a joke now, a joke that is<br />
not funny,” he said.<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community Board member<br />
Darrell Latham labelled the<br />
city council’s inability to carry<br />
out its own action plan as<br />
“embarrassing.” •Turn to page 8<br />

YOU CAN see why Marriner St residents<br />
continue to get hacked off when heavy rain<br />
comes (see page 1).<br />
The city council says keeping a drain<br />
outlet on Scarborough Beach clear is the<br />
key to stopping flooding on the street.<br />
Last week when the downpour came it flooded. Apparently<br />
there was “miscommunication” between council staff and the<br />
contractor which cleans the drains when weather forecasters say<br />
it is going to rain.<br />
That’s not much consolation for the long suffering residents of<br />
Marriner St, who say the problem has been going on for years.<br />
Let’s see what happens the next time it rains.<br />
Miscommunication may not be an acceptable reason.<br />

Pay plan for board members<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
CITY COUNCILLORS could<br />
face a financial dilemma this<br />
year: Sacrifice some of their<br />
salary for lower paid community<br />
board members.<br />
The Remuneration Authority,<br />
which sets<br />
the pay of city<br />
councillors and<br />
community<br />
board members,<br />
said if the city<br />
council wished<br />
Andrew<br />
Turner<br />
Sara<br />
Templeton<br />
to increase community<br />
board<br />
remuneration<br />
following the<br />
October 12<br />
elections, it<br />
would have to<br />
come from the<br />
money allocated<br />
towards the<br />
salaries of city<br />
councillors.<br />
After the elections,<br />
councils<br />
around New<br />
Zealand will allocate their governance<br />
pools, deciding on the<br />
salaries of city councillors and if<br />
any money from the pool will be<br />
put aside for community board<br />
members.<br />
Deputy <strong>May</strong>or and Banks<br />
Peninsula Ward city councillor<br />
LOW PAY: Banks Peninsula Community Board member John<br />
McLister is not running in the local body elections because of<br />
concerns over money and time.<br />
Andrew Turner, who is paid<br />
$118,220, said he would support<br />
a decision to sacrifice the salaries<br />
of city councillors to supplement<br />
the Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board.<br />
“I think the level of pay for the<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board is not adequate and is certainly<br />
out of line when compared<br />
to other city boards,” he said.<br />
Heathcote Ward city councillor<br />
Sara Templeton, who is paid<br />
$102,400, said she would also be<br />
open to city councillor salaries<br />
being used to better remunerate<br />
the board. She is concerned the<br />
current model was preventing<br />
people from running for community<br />
boards.<br />
“We need to enable a wide<br />
range of people to stand for our<br />
community boards, not just<br />
in Banks Peninsula but across<br />
the city, part of that is better<br />
remuneration,” she said.<br />
Four members of the Banks<br />
Peninsula Community Board<br />
told the <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News they<br />
may not stand in the local body<br />
elections due to concerns over<br />
the money they receive and the<br />
time pressures they face.<br />
Banks Peninsula board members<br />
– excluding the chairwoman<br />
and city councillors – currently<br />
receive $9670 a year. That is<br />
less than half the $24,098 paid<br />
to Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton<br />
Community Board members.<br />
Banks Peninsula chairwoman<br />
Pam Richardson is paid $19,342,<br />
while Halswell-Hornby-<br />
Riccarton Community Board<br />
chairman Mike Mora ($48,196).<br />
The current remuneration<br />
model is set by population, so<br />
boards with larger populations<br />
get better remuneration.<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board member John McLister<br />
said the remuneration board<br />
members received was<br />
“ridiculously low” for the<br />
amount of work they have to do.<br />
“I will not run because<br />
financially, it is harmful,” he<br />
said. “I don’t think we do less<br />
than the inner city community<br />
boards and I don’t think they<br />
have the complex issues that we<br />
have.”<br />

Ship has sailed on saving Kia Ora<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
A BADLY damaged historic<br />
racing yacht stranded in<br />
Lyttelton will not be<br />
restored.<br />
The 121-year-old Kia Ora,<br />
which has been sitting on<br />
Lyttelton Port Company land for<br />
more than 20 years on the corner<br />
of Norwich Quay and Donald St,<br />
will be destroyed.<br />
LPC planned to dispose of the<br />
vessel unless the owner came<br />
forward and agreed to pay for its<br />
removal.<br />
Family members of Robert<br />
Bryson, the last owner of the<br />
boat, have decided not to remove<br />
it because of its poor condition.<br />
They have salvaged pieces of it as<br />
mementoes instead.<br />
Ian Knewstubb, former<br />
chairman of the now-defunct<br />
Norwich Quay Historic Precinct<br />
Society, said the vessel was of<br />
high significance.<br />
“A boat built not long after the<br />
Kia Ora called The Rainbow in<br />
Auckland has just been restored<br />
and they spent $800,000 on<br />
it. That is how these boats are<br />
looked upon in other parts of the<br />
country. Down here it is different,<br />
I don’t think anyone gives a<br />
hoot about maritime heritage in<br />
Canterbury,” he said.<br />
The Kia Ora was sunk in the<br />
1960s and was moved by Mr<br />
Bryson to a vacant section in<br />
Locksley Ave, Dallington.<br />
It was then gifted to the<br />
Norwich Quay Historic Precinct<br />
Society and relocated to its<br />
current location where it has<br />
deteriorated to a condition<br />
DECAY: The Kia Ora vessel will not be restored to its prime condition like in 1900, after<br />
sitting on Lyttelton Port Company land for more than 20 years.<br />
beyond repair.<br />
Mr Bryson’s granddaughter<br />
Emma Graham said the Kia Ora<br />
was well past the point of saving.<br />
“It was borderline 20 years<br />
ago, so the ship has sailed so to<br />
speak,” she said.<br />
“I would love to have that<br />
boat fixed and going again,<br />
but it is just beyond repair. My<br />
grandfather should have fixed<br />
it all those years ago, but he had<br />
so many other projects and also<br />
heart problems to deal with.”<br />
LPC port services and security<br />
manager Tony Simpson saw the<br />
boat as a potential risk to the<br />
public.<br />
“Our first step was to place<br />
fencing around the Kia Ora, but<br />
we believe this is an inadequate<br />
long-term option to mitigate the<br />
risk, as the stability of the way it<br />
is propped up and the condition<br />
of the hull itself led us to believe<br />
that it could collapse,” he said.<br />
The vessel was designed by<br />
More time to make seaplane submissions<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE PUBLIC now have until<br />
the end of the month to make a<br />
submission on the plan to bring<br />
seaplanes to Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Submissions were initially due<br />
by April 30 but the Civil Aviation<br />
Authority has extended the<br />
deadline out to <strong>May</strong> 31.<br />
The authority is seeking<br />
feedback on Rangiora-based<br />
company Peninsula Air<br />
Ltd’s plan to construct a<br />
waterdrome in Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The 1km runway<br />
would be located<br />
between Rapaki and<br />
Quail Island and provide<br />
seaplanes with an area<br />
to take off and land.<br />
One of Peninsula Air<br />
Ltd’s directors Mark Christensen<br />
Mark<br />
Christensen<br />
told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News the<br />
seaplanes would be used to<br />
take people on scenic tours<br />
of the peninsula.<br />
“It is still very early<br />
days, but we are thinking<br />
about providing a service<br />
that would complement<br />
all the other tourist<br />
operations in the<br />
peninsula,” he said.<br />
Mr Christensen hopes the<br />
project will emulate the Sydney<br />
seaplanes experience.<br />
“In concept, it is a similar<br />
operation to the Sydney one<br />
involving a seaplane that takes<br />
people on scenic flights,” he said.<br />
“If you look at the Sydney<br />
operation, they also deliver<br />
people to tourist destinations as<br />
well.”<br />
Public submissions can be sent<br />

against staunch opposition, such<br />

WILD: Peacocks in Lyttelton are being relocated to protect rare geckos and<br />
skinks.<br />
Peacocks moved after<br />
threat to shoot them<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
WILD PEACOCKS are<br />
being relocated from part<br />
of Lyttelton to stop them<br />
eating endangered geckos<br />
and skinks.<br />
The move comes after a<br />
farmer sent her<br />
neighbour, Janelle<br />
Wills, a legal letter<br />
stating she would<br />
shoot the peacocks<br />
which entered her<br />
property.<br />
The farmer,<br />
who has declined<br />
to be named,<br />
said the peacocks<br />
eat geckos and<br />
skinks on her<br />
property.<br />
Miss Wills feeds the<br />
wild peacocks and can<br />
sometimes have up to 30<br />
around her house.<br />
She said she was<br />
“heartbroken” to have<br />
to relocate them and<br />
“disgusted” the farmer had<br />
plans to eat them.<br />
“They climb around my<br />
house and look through<br />
Anita<br />
Spencer<br />
my windows at me and, as<br />
soon as I leave my house,<br />
they follow me. It’s going<br />
to be heartbreaking to see<br />
them go,” she said.<br />
The farmer’s legal<br />
letter stated any peacock<br />
which wanders onto<br />
private property is<br />
considered to be<br />
trespassing under<br />
the Impounding Act<br />
and is permitted to<br />
be shot.<br />
She also told <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News: “I<br />
certainly hope to<br />
eat one and provide<br />
meat to several<br />
people.”<br />
“If I just had sheep<br />
it would not matter but<br />
with these other creatures<br />
[skinks and geckos] it<br />
makes for a very different<br />
situation. It is like a<br />
peacock eating a diamond<br />
and that diamond is of<br />
value to New Zealand, it is<br />
not just me that is losing<br />
out.”<br />
Department of<br />
Conservation senior<br />
biodiversity ranger Anita<br />
Spencer said peacocks<br />
posed a potential threat to<br />
skinks and geckos.<br />
“Peacocks have wide<br />
diet preferences and are<br />
interested in anything that<br />
moves. Overseas they eat<br />
lizards, rodents and snakes,<br />
so they could potentially<br />
eat a threatened lizard if<br />
they came across one,” she<br />
said. Ms Spencer confirmed<br />
there were rare geckos and<br />
skinks in the area.<br />
“We know there are three<br />
threatened lizard species<br />
in the area and we have<br />
been told by the property<br />
owner two of those species<br />
can be found on her land.<br />
DOC hasn’t carried out any<br />
formal surveys to confirm<br />
this, but we understand a<br />
herpetologist has visited<br />
the property and identified<br />
the lizards.”<br />
Miss Wills said the<br />
peacocks are being<br />
relocated throughout the<br />
Canterbury region with the<br />
help of Serendipity Animal<br />
Rescue.<br />

GREAT READS INSTORE NOW<br />
Chasing the Dream<br />
By Shaun Wallace<br />
Born on the 2nd of June 1960 to Jamaican parents, Shaun is a<br />
Londoner born and bred, and has been a devoted Chelsea fan<br />
since 1967. From the age of 12, Shaun knew he wanted to be<br />
a barrister and was determined to make it. Despite one or two<br />
setbacks along the way, he finally managed to fulfil his childhood<br />
ambition when he was called to the bar in November 1984.<br />
He has been a Criminal Defence Advocate now for nearly 34<br />
years, and has worked tirelessly on cases ranging from murder<br />
to money laundering to firearms to drug trafficking. Shaun has<br />
also regularly appeared on British television quiz shows such<br />
as Fifteen-To-One, The Weakest Link, Greed, and Are You an<br />
Egghead?. Shaun catapulted to national prominence and recognition when, on the 5th<br />
December 2004, he became the first black person to win the BBC’s renowned Mastermind.<br />
Since 2009, he has become a household name, regularly appearing as The Dark Destroyer<br />
on the smash ITV hit teatime quiz show, The Chase.<br />
The Butterfly Room<br />
By Lucinda riley<br />
Posy Montague is approaching her seventieth birthday. Still living<br />
in her beautiful family home, Admiral House, set in the glorious<br />
Suffolk countryside where she spent her own idyllic childhood<br />
catching butterflies with her beloved father, and raised her own<br />
children, Posy knows she must make an agonising decision.<br />
Despite the memories the house holds, and the exquisite garden<br />
she has spent twenty-five years creating, the house is crumbling<br />
around her, and Posy knows the time has come to sell it.<br />
Then a face appears from the past - Freddie, her first love, who<br />
abandoned her and left her heartbroken fifty years ago. Already<br />
struggling to cope with her son Sam’s inept business dealings,<br />
and the sudden reappearance of her younger son Nick after ten years in Australia, Posy<br />
is reluctant to trust in Freddie’s renewed affection. And unbeknown to Posy, Freddie - and<br />
Admiral House - have a devastating secret to reveal.<br />

The Flat Share<br />
By Bet O’Leary<br />
Tiffy and Leon share a flat. Tiffy and Leon share a bed. Tiffy<br />
and Leon have never met…<br />
Tiffy Moore needs a cheap flat, and fast. Leon Twomey works<br />
nights and needs cash. Their friends think they’re crazy, but<br />
it’s the perfect solution: Leon occupies the one-bed flat while<br />
Tiffy’s at work in the day, and she has the run of the place the<br />
rest of the time.<br />
But with obsessive ex-boyfriends, demanding clients at work,<br />
wrongly imprisoned brothers and, of course, the fact that<br />
they still haven’t met yet, they’re about to discover that if you<br />
want the perfect home you need to throw the rulebook out the<br />
window...<br />

DIMMED: Lights in the Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> have been reduced in intensity after<br />
complaints from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> residents.<br />
Turning down the lights<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
LIGHTING IN Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> has been dimmed<br />
following complaints<br />
from Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
residents.<br />
The red and green spar<br />
buoys have been turned<br />
down to half the intensity<br />
they previously were.<br />
The lights were put in<br />
place by the Lyttelton Port<br />
Company to help guide<br />
ships through the harbour.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
resident Nathan Graham,<br />
who previously described<br />
the spar buoys as looking<br />
like “a Christmas themed<br />
accident scene,” saw it as<br />
a step in the right<br />
direction.<br />
“What we had initially<br />
was ridiculous and now it<br />
is nowhere near as bright<br />
and we have been able to<br />
enjoy some brilliant starry<br />
nights,” he said.<br />
Mr Graham hoped the<br />
lead lights near Pile <strong>Bay</strong><br />
and Camp <strong>Bay</strong> could also<br />
autumn is here but the<br />
market is not cooling!<br />

said they were currently<br />
working towards a solution<br />
for the lead lights.<br />
“We tried turning those<br />
[lead lights] down but the<br />
pilots came back to us and<br />
said they could not see<br />

Drones cause more issues<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
DRONES ARE continuing<br />
to be a problem in the <strong>Bay</strong><br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> News area.<br />
Lyttelton resident<br />
Sandra Cunningham was<br />
watching television in her<br />
living room recently when<br />
a drone began hovering<br />
above her porch at about<br />
9pm.<br />
“The incident was<br />
disturbing as it hovered<br />
there, less than 10ft (3m)<br />
above my head. It remained<br />
motionless for nearly 1min.<br />
I had the creepy feeling that<br />
I was being watched,” she<br />
said.<br />
It comes after a<br />
low-flying drone was<br />
suspected of spying on<br />
teenage girls just after<br />
Christmas last year.<br />
The drone was seen<br />
hovering over Whero Ave,<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>, about<br />
6.30pm on December 27.<br />
Anna Clinch, 14, was in<br />
a swimming pool with a<br />
teenage friend, when she<br />
saw the drone.<br />
She believed it was being<br />
used to spy on them.<br />
Anna said the drone was<br />
flying near power lines.<br />
“It just hovered above<br />
the pool while we were<br />
swimming for about<br />
30sec and we were really<br />
concerned about it,” she<br />
said.<br />
“We moved out of the<br />
way because we thought<br />
it was a bit bizarre and<br />
went inside. And the drone<br />
continued to fly back and<br />
forth over the house a<br />
couple of times [before<br />
leaving].”<br />
The Civil Aviation<br />
Authority states drone<br />
operators must have<br />
consent from the owner of<br />
the property they want to<br />
fly over.<br />
The CAA does not<br />
investigate breaches of<br />
privacy, and investigations<br />
are dealt with by police.<br />

Apology over<br />
flooding in<br />
Sumner<br />
•From page 1<br />
Dr Latham said this was<br />
one of a series of flooding<br />
events since the city council<br />
formulated an action plan last<br />
year.<br />
“The current approach<br />
of manually clearing beach<br />
drainage outlets is costing<br />
ratepayers thousands of<br />
dollars and it appears to be<br />
not working particularly well<br />
because drainage outlets are<br />
buried in sand or they cannot<br />
be located. This approach is<br />
not sustainable and given the<br />
recent storm event, it is now<br />
time for the city council to<br />
acknowledge that the current<br />
methodology is not effective<br />
and to investigate a more<br />
effective plan of action and<br />
solution to this problem,” he<br />
said.<br />
The city council is currently<br />
spending $20,000 a year to<br />
keep the drains clear prior to<br />
weather events.<br />
Mr Mullen said it is<br />
investigating whether the<br />
beach level is likely to fall,<br />
meaning sand is less likely<br />
to block drains, or whether<br />
longer-term solutions may be<br />
necessary.<br />

Skepticism over berth benefits<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
LYTTELTON business owners<br />
are not convinced over the<br />
economic benefits the new cruise<br />
berth will bring.<br />
It was announced last week the<br />
Lyttelton Port Company’s new<br />
cruise berth is scheduled to open<br />
in November next year.<br />
While smaller vessels<br />
have continued to visit,<br />
large cruise vessels have been<br />
unable to berth at Lyttelton Port<br />
since the February 22, 2011,<br />
earthquake.<br />
With the new cruise berth in<br />
place, LPC will be able to<br />
welcome cruise vessels which<br />
cater for more than 5000<br />
passengers and 2000 staff.<br />
However, business owners are<br />
concerned tourists will bypass<br />
the port town and go directly<br />
into the central city.<br />
“I don’t know if it will have<br />
any impact because the ones that<br />
currently come, they just ship<br />
everyone to town anyway. On<br />
days when cruise ships come we<br />
notice no difference in business,”<br />
said Shroom Room owner Koryn<br />
Hope.<br />
Eruption Brewing co-owner<br />
Steve Leftly said cruise ships<br />
currently brought little to his<br />
business.<br />
“We have only been exposed<br />
BIG PLANS: 3D still images of what the completed cruise berth will look like when it opens in<br />
November next year.<br />
to the smaller ones [cruise ships]<br />
and they only tend to have a<br />
handful of people that actually<br />
come into Lyttelton,” he said.<br />
ChristchurchNZ destination<br />
development manager Anton<br />
Wilke said it was working on a<br />
bus schedule that would benefit<br />
the local economy.<br />
“There is ongoing liaison<br />
between ChristchurchNZ and<br />
LPC with regard to how the<br />
transfers could look and how<br />
they might pan out, the details<br />
of that are not nailed down at<br />
this point but we are certainly<br />
very conscious of the needs of the<br />
Lyttelton community,” Mr Wilke<br />
said.<br />
Lyttelton Coffee Company<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
owner Stephen Mateer was more<br />
concerned about the impact the<br />
larger cruise ships would have on<br />
the environment than what they<br />
would do for his business.<br />
“It is going to do a good job of<br />
blocking my view of Quail Island<br />
from my house,” he said.<br />

SNACK: Vittoria shares a post-mushroom afternoon tea with Loki.<br />
Fungus freak-out<br />
AFTER NEARLY six<br />
months in the role I’m<br />
getting pretty confident,<br />
but last week I had a major<br />
freak-out which brought<br />
me back to earth.<br />
Like any toddler, Vittoria<br />
is quick on her feet. Not like<br />
regular quick mind you,<br />
any adult can smash a toddler<br />
in a foot race.<br />
Nah, toddlers have a<br />
magic power which lets<br />
them teleport to wherever<br />
you don’t want them as<br />
soon as their parents’ eyes<br />
are off them.<br />
Last Tuesday, I looked<br />
away for a second and<br />
she was standing on the<br />
TV cabinet (cue lounge<br />
rearrangement).<br />
That was not the worst<br />
one though. Recently, I<br />
turned away to check my<br />
phone as we were playing<br />
out front and before I knew<br />
it she had grabbed up a<br />
mushroom from the bunch<br />
growing near the bins and<br />
shoved it in her wee gob.<br />
I’m no botanist – and I<br />
don’t even know if botanists<br />
know about mushrooms – so<br />
I had zero clue what it was.<br />
All I could think about<br />
was that it could be poisonous.<br />
So I fished out what I<br />
could of the mushroom and<br />
washed her mouth out. Vittoria<br />
was not impressed.<br />
Potential futures rushed<br />
through my mind; bolting to<br />
the emergency room, Vittoria<br />
foaming from the mouth,<br />
her in a hospital bed.<br />
So I rang the poison<br />
hotline for the first time in<br />
my life and was happy to be<br />
calmed, reassured and have<br />
signs to keep watch for.<br />
I kept a sample of the<br />
mushrooms and made<br />
the classic “don’t worry,<br />
Vittoria’s okay” phone call<br />
to Laura. An hour later,<br />
through some research, I<br />
found out the mushroom<br />
was an edible species.<br />
The relief that Vittoria<br />
was actually going to be fine<br />
VITTORIA<br />
& Matt<br />
had another element to it.<br />
I felt like if she had<br />
actually been sick from the<br />
mushroom, or needed to go<br />
the hospital, it would prove<br />
that I was a bad parent and<br />
incapable of looking after<br />
her on my own.<br />
It was on my watch.<br />
“What would people<br />
think?” actually went<br />
through my head even<br />
though I feel I took all the<br />
right steps in the situation.<br />
As the TV cabinet episode<br />
proves, I didn’t quite<br />
learn my lesson.<br />
Now I just have all of the<br />
regular parenting worries to<br />
deal with. Easy.<br />

Wastewater overhaul<br />
AKAROA’S ageing<br />
wastewater infrastructure<br />
is set to be overhauled.<br />
City council senior<br />
project manager Kylie<br />
Hills said the work which<br />
includes wastewater main<br />
replacement, inspections<br />
and pipe repairs, will be<br />
disruptive but essential.<br />
He said parts of the<br />
town’s wastewater pipes<br />
nearing the end of their<br />
expected service life.<br />
“To minimise the impact<br />
of the disruption, we have<br />
waited until the cruise ship<br />
season is over and until<br />
after Easter,” he said.<br />
There are several aspects<br />
to the work, which centres<br />
on reducing the amount of<br />
extra water getting into the<br />
wastewater system through<br />
ingress and infiltration<br />
from groundwater, roof<br />
gutters and downpipes<br />
illegally connected to the<br />
network (down pipes are<br />
supposed to be connected<br />
to the stormwater system<br />
or roadside kerbs) and<br />
from private gully traps<br />
that receive surface water<br />
runoff.<br />
Last year the city council<br />
completed a survey of<br />
the Akaroa wastewater<br />
network using distributed<br />
temperature sensing.<br />
This identifies where<br />
colder groundwater<br />
and rainwater has been<br />
entering the network<br />
and where pipe repairs<br />
or replacements may be<br />

“The survey showed that<br />
ingress and infiltration<br />
makes up about 40 per cent<br />
of the annual volume of<br />
wastewater reaching the<br />
Beach Rd treatment plant,”<br />
he said.<br />
“That’s much higher<br />

and this work aims to<br />
reduce the volume of<br />
wastewater from Akaroa<br />

Jacinda Ardern<br />
may attend the<br />

Redcliffs School opening<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
PRIME MINISTER Jacinda<br />
Ardern says she will “do<br />
everything she can” to be at the<br />
opening of Redcliffs School next<br />
year.<br />
Pupils sent Ms Ardern several<br />
letters inviting her to the school<br />
opening in June<br />
2020.<br />
In her<br />
response, Ms<br />
Ardern thanked<br />
the pupils for<br />
their letters and<br />
vowed to do<br />
Jacinda<br />
Ardern<br />
everything she<br />
can to be at the<br />
opening.<br />
Principal<br />
Rose McInerney is confident Ms<br />
Ardern would be there.<br />
“We are pretty sure that she<br />
will be there, we are really<br />
excited that she wants to come.<br />
She knows that we have been on<br />
the biggest journey to get here,”<br />
she said.<br />
After the community<br />
campaigned to keep the school<br />
open, then-Education Minister<br />
Hekia Parata reversed her<br />
decision to close it in November<br />
2016.<br />
It was<br />
decided the<br />
school would<br />
relocate to<br />

sparking a<br />
separate,<br />

campaign by<br />

Rāpaki marks 150 years<br />
RĀPAKI CHURCH celebrated<br />
its 150th anniversary on<br />
Saturday.<br />
More than 200 people<br />
gathered for a special service<br />
to commemorate the historic<br />
church, which opened in<br />
1869.<br />
Matua Douglas Couch, who<br />
grew up in Rāpaki during the<br />
1930s and 40s, said the church<br />
was a central meeting point for<br />
the community in those days.<br />
“We used to go there when<br />
the church bell rang. Sometimes<br />
we were down on the beach and<br />
wouldn’t hear the bell and if you<br />
got home at dinner and hadn’t<br />
been to church, you’d be in<br />
trouble,” he said.<br />
The small weatherboard<br />
church, which can hold 80<br />
people, has recently undergone a<br />
significant restoration.<br />
The church was closed<br />
following the earthquakes and<br />
the restoration work began last<br />
year after funding was received.<br />
The restoration included<br />
repairs to the south sanctuary<br />
wall as well as the replacement of<br />
the rotten main window<br />
with a replica of an earlier<br />
window based on an old<br />
photograph.<br />
The steeple was rebuilt<br />
with a shingle finish, which is<br />
likely to be what the original<br />

steeple was clad in.<br />
The surrounding fence has<br />
been built in a style based on an<br />
1871 painting of the church with<br />
posts made from the old Quail<br />
Island jetty.<br />
The restoration work was<br />
completed with an emphasis<br />
on “minimum intervention”<br />
to ensure the cultural heritage<br />
value of the building has been left<br />
intact.<br />

PEST FREE Banks Peninsula has<br />
asked the city council for $60,000.<br />
Chairman David Miller made<br />
the request during his submission<br />
on the draft Annual Plan last<br />
week.<br />
Dr Miller said the project<br />
needed the support of the city<br />
council to empower and educate<br />
communities in eradicating pests<br />
and meet their goal of a pest-free<br />
peninsula by 2050.<br />
“The fund may be used to<br />
provide advice, training or to buy<br />
traps and even assist volunteers in<br />
running community groups.”<br />
Dr Miller said they were hoping<br />
to build on the work of the<br />
Summit Road Society.<br />
The society started the Predator-Free<br />

Bid for more funding<br />
2016 with the aim of equipping<br />
4000 households with traps.<br />
It has provided more than 750<br />
households with traps so far.<br />
“We want to create that habitat<br />
to bring back the native birds and<br />
lizards and predator control is<br />
a key part of that,” said society<br />
secretary Marie Gray.<br />
The society was set up in 1948<br />
to further the vision of Harry Ell<br />
to preserve and protect the landscape<br />
of the Port Hills.<br />
The society currently owns<br />
Omahu Bush, Ohinetahi Reserve,<br />

Call for less cruise ships<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
“WE WANT to see an end to<br />
Akaroa being used as a tourist<br />
delivery depot.”<br />
Those are the words of Akaroa<br />
Ratepayers and Residents<br />
Association president Harry<br />
Stronach during his submission<br />
on the city council’s draft Annual<br />
Plan last week.<br />
Mr Stronach called for a<br />
reduction in<br />
cruise ship<br />
numbers in<br />
coming<br />
seasons.<br />
“Somewhere<br />
in this building,<br />
there might be a<br />
Harry<br />
Stronach<br />
department with<br />
a door that says<br />
sensible planning<br />
department,<br />
well if there is there is nobody at<br />
home,” he said to city councillors.<br />
“The main street of Akaroa,<br />
Rue Lavaud, is not wide enough<br />
for two way traffic you have to<br />
weave around the parked cars<br />
and some days there are over 40<br />
tourist buses trying to use it as a<br />
highway.”<br />
A survey conducted by the<br />
association in March found that<br />
69 per cent of respondents felt the<br />
number of cruise ships should be<br />
limited, with the average<br />
number proposed being 40 per<br />
year – less than half of the 92<br />
ships, which stopped in Akaroa<br />
during the 2018-19 season.<br />
Mr Stronach was concerned<br />
about the cruise ship schedule for<br />
the coming season.<br />
“Look at the plan for the next<br />
Christmas and New Year period,<br />
over that time normally the town<br />
is full anyway. What is scheduled<br />
for this coming year is an<br />
additional 27,000 passengers over<br />
that period.”<br />
Deputy <strong>May</strong>or and Banks<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
CROWDED: Ninety-two cruise ships and more than 198,000<br />
passengers visited Akaroa over the course of last season.<br />
Peninsula Ward city councillor<br />
Andrew Turner told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News the city council needed<br />
to look at better management<br />
strategies for future cruise ship<br />
seasons.<br />
“The community have had<br />
problems when Akaroa is<br />
absolutely full to the seams and<br />
we know that the infrastructure<br />
fails to cope when this happens,<br />
whether that be with toilets or<br />
roads,” he said.

‘Bedlam’ breaks out after upset<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
FIVE STRAIGHT losses to<br />
start the season were quickly<br />
forgotten when Sumner<br />
celebrated a historic win over<br />
four-time defending metro rugby<br />
champions Lincoln University.<br />
With 20min remaining in<br />
the match on Saturday, Sumner<br />
looked destined for their sixth<br />
consecutive defeat. However,<br />
when they kicked the ball into<br />
touch at fulltime<br />
to secure<br />
the 21-19<br />
upset win, St<br />
Leonards Park<br />
was sent into<br />
ecstasy.<br />

Like everyone, I think they<br />
were just so stoked for the boys<br />
because we’ve copped a fair bit of<br />
flack, but rightly so,” said coach<br />
Martin Dodgson.<br />
Coming into the home<br />
match, many people would have<br />
written the winless Sumner<br />
off against the competition<br />
leaders. However, a nothingto-lose<br />
mentality after failing<br />
to gain a result in the opening<br />
five matches this season helped<br />

them pull off the upset.<br />

with 20min remaining and<br />
found themselves behind 19-7.<br />

halfway.<br />
With 5min to play, Sumner<br />
No 8 Mathew Tuala made a<br />
break from his own 40m line to<br />
Lincoln University’s 22m line.<br />
The ball was then spun wide to<br />
Crossdale, who burned past his<br />
defender to score and level the<br />
game 19-19.<br />
Fullback Eiji Kaneda then held<br />
his nerve to kick the conversion<br />
and give Sumner a 21-19 lead.<br />
With just 3min to play,<br />
Sumner successfully held<br />
possession, before winning a<br />
scrum penalty on full-time to<br />
take the win.<br />
With five games in the first<br />
phase of the competition<br />
remaining, Sumner are still well<br />
outside of top six contention. But<br />
they will be looking for a strong<br />

Small Mazda SUV has further appeal<br />
WHEN MAZDA launched its<br />
CX-3 crossover/sport utility<br />
vehicle in New Zealand four years<br />
ago, I was so smitten with it I<br />
described it as being one of the<br />
company’s finest vehicles, it was<br />
certainly one of my best drives for<br />
2015.<br />
Four years down the track, not<br />
a lot has changed, there’s now an<br />
upgraded CX-3 and it still exudes<br />
the feel and vigour that made<br />
the first generation model so<br />
memorable, only more so.<br />
Like before, the CX-3 lands in<br />
six grades with four-wheel-drive<br />
options along the way. All share<br />
the same naturally aspirated<br />
2-litre engine, but there is now<br />
the option of two high grade<br />
models Limited and Takami,<br />
the latter is a range of high<br />
grade models that are filtering<br />
all through the Mazda line-up,<br />
and I can report from previous<br />
experience with Takami grade<br />
it is something that gives those<br />
models special appeal.<br />
All that aside, the CX-3 this<br />
evaluation focuses on is a midspec<br />
front-drive GSX and it lists<br />
at $36,695. For the record, the<br />
entry-level GLX sits at $31,995,<br />
while the Takami tops the range<br />
at $41,695.<br />
Even in GSX form the CX-3<br />
wants for little, it has all of<br />
the ingredients that make you<br />
feel comfortable, and there is<br />
enough gadgetry to keep the<br />
technophile happy. Bear in mind<br />
that in this specification it also<br />
gets an i-Activesense safety<br />
upgrade which includes blind<br />
spot monitoring, traffic sign<br />
recognition, smart city brake<br />
support reverse and radar cruise<br />
control. Mazda’s safety suite of<br />
technologies easily qualifies for<br />
a five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment program rating.<br />
While I consider the CX-3 to be<br />
MAZDA CX-3: Two and four-wheel-drive options.<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
a true SUV, it is small and its size<br />
won’t appeal to everyone, it is a bit<br />
tight in the rear seating area but<br />
for me that’s never been an issue,<br />
the car feels so right to drive, and<br />
for a small family it will easily<br />
suffice as it makes good use of its<br />
compact proportions. There is<br />
also a purposeful amount of rear<br />
cargo space – according to Mazda<br />
– 264-litres to 1174-litres.<br />
What I like most about the<br />
CX-3 is its normality. Everything<br />
is traditional, there are no tricks<br />
with the engine and the gearbox<br />
is a torque converter automatic.<br />
While it appears simple on the<br />
surface, you also have to take<br />
into account that the driveline<br />
incorporates Mazda’s SkyActive<br />
technology which promotes<br />
economical fuel usage without<br />
compromise.<br />
This has been the direction<br />
Mazda has largely focused on<br />
as a car maker; it isn’t hugely<br />
into hybrids or electric vehicles,<br />
but it simply makes internal<br />
combustion engines work with<br />
amazing efficiency.<br />
As a result, the CX-3 is rated<br />
with a 6.3-litre per 100km<br />
(45mpg) combined cycle fuel<br />
usage figure and that is easily<br />
achievable. Without trying,<br />
the fuel usage reading on<br />
the evaluation car’s digital<br />
display was constantly listing<br />
around 7l/100km (40mpg). At<br />
100km/h the engine is relaxed<br />
(2100rpm), sipping fuel at the<br />
rate of just 4.5l/100km (63mpg)<br />
instantaneously.<br />
If you think this economy<br />
comes at the expense of<br />
performance you need not be<br />
worried, Mazda claim power<br />
outputs of 110kW and 195Nm<br />
from the 1998cc engine.<br />
The CX-3 is free-revving and<br />
spirited, it’s lively to drive, and<br />
because it isn’t carrying too much<br />
weight (1297kg) it feels agile and<br />
nimble, and will return a 9sec<br />
standstill to 100km/h acceleration<br />
time.<br />
Along with the solid response<br />
from under the bonnet, the<br />
CX-3 is a hoot when corners<br />
arrive. It steers with beautiful feel<br />
and feedback, it can be driven<br />
enthusiastically such is its poise<br />
and composure, all of the time the<br />
suspension provides occupants<br />
with a comfortable, controlled<br />
• Price – Mazda CX-3 GSX,<br />

• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4275mm; width, 1765mm;<br />
height, 1535mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1998cc, 110kW,<br />
195Nm, six-speed<br />
automatic<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.3l/100km<br />
ride as well as absorbing<br />
the road undulations without<br />
upsetting steering response, nor<br />
body balance.<br />
If you weigh up all of these<br />
ingredients, the CX-3 is a lot<br />
more than meets the eye. It is<br />
built with all of the fun factor that<br />
is Mazda’s ideology, and that is<br />
why I rate it so highly as a driver’s<br />
car, it is so involving.<br />
It is also well appointed, and<br />
given this is the CX-3’s second<br />
makeover it wants for nothing<br />
inside. GSX buyers have the<br />
choice of a leatherette/cloth trim<br />
or leather for an extra $1600.<br />
Elsewhere there is keyless entry<br />
and ignition, satellite navigation,<br />
intuitive display screen readouts,<br />
sport drive mode and my<br />
favourite inclusion, the standard<br />
fitment of a CD player, which is<br />
great for us old dinosaurs who<br />
haven’t fully adapted to the new<br />
digital music technology.<br />
I’ve written many times in<br />
recent reviews about the quality<br />
of product that is coming out of<br />
Mazda factories, the upgraded<br />
CX-3 would be very much a<br />
preferable choice, and if I do get<br />
the chance to buy a new car to<br />
see me through my impending<br />
retirement, then something out of<br />
this Japanese stable will be right at<br />
the forefront of any decision.

Tucked privately away behind a fence, there<br />
is much on offer here. As you would expect<br />
from a quality home like this, the indoor/<br />
outdoor flow has been maximised to take<br />
advantage of the spacious decks, entertaining<br />
area and easy-care gardens.<br />
With enough space to easily accommodate<br />
the family, there is a clean and contemporary<br />
living area plus a well-appointed kitchen with<br />
ample scullery storage. Boasting four double<br />
bedrooms with built in robes, the master suite<br />
enjoys an ensuite with double shower to avoid<br />
the morning rush! With every consideration<br />
for comfort, the high spec double glazing,<br />
hydronic under floor heating and extra thick<br />
walls will keep you and your little ones toasty<br />
warm throughout the colder months.<br />
Of course living so near the sea, you<br />
will probably have plenty of toys to store!<br />
So whether it’s a home for your kayak,<br />
surfboards or boat that you are looking for -<br />
this is the place for you! With an extra large<br />
double garage, plus a spacious workshop/<br />
studio and ample off street parking this is an<br />
outstandingly practical property.<br />
As appealing as the home itself is, the<br />
location is the grand slam! Just a minute or<br />
two to walk to the beach & village, you can<br />
stroll down for a surf in the morning, a coffee<br />
in the afternoon and a beer in the evening<br />
(or vice versa - who are we to judge?!). The<br />
schools, parks and bustling village are just<br />
some of the reasons that this is such a well<br />
loved community.<br />
Our vendors have loved this home but<br />
it’s now time for them to work their magic<br />
on another project, so this is a fantastic<br />
opportunity to secure your family’s future.<br />

Public Notice<br />
Notice of proposal<br />
for construction of<br />
a Waterdrome<br />
EXTENDED PERIOD FOR SUBMISSIONS<br />
