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 />

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 />

language, no matter your knowledge level. Fun, user-friendly<br />

and relevant to modern readers, Scotty Morrison’s Maori Made<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 />

LPC strategic engagement<br />

manager Phil de Joux<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 />

them in all conditions so<br />

we are now considering<br />

what other engineering<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 />

“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 />

than we would like,<br />

and this work aims to<br />

reduce the volume of<br />

wastewater from Akaroa<br />

and improve the quality<br />

of treated wastewater<br />

being discharged into the<br />

the size and cost of the new<br />

disposal system, whichever<br />

option is chosen.”<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

With 5min to play, Sumner<br />

No 8 Mathew Tuala made a<br />

break from his own 40m line to<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 />

Sumner successfully held<br />

possession, before winning a<br />

take the win.<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 />

• Price – Mazda CX-3 GSX,<br />

$36,695<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 />

Notice of proposal<br />

for construction of<br />

a Waterdrome<br />
