Concern<br />
over 360<br />
Trail delays<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
THE WAIT continues for a<br />
walking track linking the Coastal<br />
and Burwood Wards to be built.<br />
The track will become part of<br />
360 Trail, which links tracks all<br />
over Christchurch if it is completed.<br />
But the, 360 Trail committee<br />
were fed up with waiting for the<br />
track, which would run east from<br />
the Bromley oxidation ponds to<br />
be completed.<br />
Members Judith Millar and Ken<br />
Couling addressed the Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board last<br />
week, saying city council staff<br />
had been telling them since 2017<br />
that the project would go-ahead,<br />
but very little progress had been<br />
made.<br />
Ms Millar said she was told<br />
there had been told the project<br />
manager had changed two times<br />
since February and this had held<br />
things up even further.<br />
“Really, we don’t know where<br />
we’re at with the project.<br />
“We are a stakeholder and we<br />
are not consulted or informed on<br />
this stuff.”<br />
When asked to comment on<br />
the issue, the city council did not<br />
respond.<br />

THe gallery’s only other<br />
income comes from the 20 per<br />
cent commission it charges for<br />
sales and teaching completed in<br />
the gallery, and the $30 it collects<br />
from members a year.<br />
THe community board gave<br />
$9000 to the gallery last year, but<br />
members said<br />
its financial<br />
situation<br />
had not<br />
improved,<br />
so it could<br />
not justify<br />
approving<br />
the full<br />
amount<br />
asked for again this year.<br />
Recreate co-ordinator Sue<br />
Davidson said keeping art spaces<br />
open in New Brighton was<br />
challenging, but could have the<br />
solution for safeguarding the<br />
future of its arts scene.<br />
Ms Davidson wanted an arts<br />
centre in New Brighton and she<br />
was in talks to make this happen.<br />
At a community board<br />
meeting last week, chairwoman<br />
Kim Money recommended Ms<br />
Davidson pitched her idea to<br />
DCL.<br />
Ms Davidson said she had<br />
already reached out.<br />
DCL manager of<br />
communications and<br />
engagement Cecilia Densham<br />
said it supported the idea and<br />
was happy to begin talks.<br />
“DCL would support the<br />
idea of a permanent artwork<br />
venue for the New Brighton<br />
community. DCL believes in<br />
creative health and its effect on<br />
well-being.”<br />
New Brighton Business<br />
and Landowners Association<br />
chairwoman Rebecca Tavete said<br />
she would support an arts centre<br />
style space being developed if<br />
this was given the go-ahead.<br />
Ms Davidson, a South<br />
Brighton resident of 20 years<br />
said she had seen what artists in<br />
New Brighton and surrounding<br />
suburbs had to offer.<br />
With support from Renew<br />
Brighton and Development<br />
Christchurch Ltd, Ms Davidson<br />
has been co-ordinating spaces<br />
for art in New Brighton Mall<br />
since the start of this year<br />
and another space at Te Kura<br />
Tawhito on Seaview Rd for over<br />
a year.<br />
Ms Davidson said a new,<br />
purpose-built facility would<br />
be necessary if New Brighton’s<br />
art scene was to reach its full<br />

potential.<br />
“THere are so many artists<br />
. . . and they need an outlet and<br />
they also need a place where they<br />
can work and they need a place<br />
where people can come and<br />
appreciate the art.”<br />
“Because New Brighton itself<br />
hasn’t quite flourished yet, there’s<br />
not really anything catering for<br />
the artists.”<br />
Ms Davidson’s ideal facility<br />
would be one, which included<br />
individual studio spaces and a<br />
large communal space for artists<br />
to work, a gallery and a cafe.<br />
