hearing<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
REDCLIFFS residents have<br />
voiced their opposition at a liquor<br />
licensing hearing over plans for<br />
a fine wine and spirits store on<br />
Main Rd.<br />
Nine people spoke against the<br />
plan, 46 made written submissions<br />
and a petition containing 97<br />
names was presented at the twoday<br />
hearing last week.<br />
Rizak Enterprises Ltd has applied<br />
for an off-licence at 1/87<br />
Main Rd to operate from Monday<br />
to Sunday, 9am to 10pm.<br />
Police, a city council alcohol<br />
licensing inspector and the Canterbury<br />
District Health Board’s<br />
medical officer of health who attended<br />
the hearing did not oppose<br />
the fine wine and spirits store.<br />
The hearings panel is now considering<br />
the submissions.<br />

<strong>Harbour</strong> regulations likely breached<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
CRUISE SHIPS in Akaroa<br />
could be operating in breach of<br />
harbour regulations – and with<br />
the knowledge of Environment<br />
Canterbury.<br />
Naval architect Harry<br />
Stronach has been investigating<br />
the issue for months and says<br />
cruise ships in<br />
Akaroa were<br />
likely to be<br />
in breach of<br />
regulations and<br />
disturbing the<br />

The Regional<br />
Coastal<br />
Environment<br />
Plan for the<br />
Canterbury region limits seabed<br />
disturbance to a total of 50 m3<br />
in any three-month period,<br />
for any coastal area outside an<br />
operational port.<br />
Akaroa <strong>Harbour</strong> is not classed<br />
as an operational port.<br />
Mr Stronach said any ship<br />
of over 40,000 gross tonnage,<br />
which is 90 per cent of cruise<br />
ships visiting Akaroa, was likely<br />
to cause a seabed disturbance at<br />
least 10 times the permitted level,<br />

Smaller ships<br />
expected to ease<br />
load on Akaroa<br />
• By Louis Day<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
DOUBLE CRUISE ship days will<br />
continue in Akaroa next season.<br />
The schedule for the <strong>2019</strong>-2020<br />
season has 13 double cruise ship days<br />
and one triple cruise ship day.<br />
January 4 is expected to be largest<br />
double cruise ship day, with 7892<br />
passengers and crew estimated.<br />
Ninety-one cruise ships are expected<br />
this coming season, one less<br />
than the last season.<br />
Akaroa Civic Trust chairman<br />
Mike Norris was appalled by the<br />
schedule.<br />
“The fourth of January is during<br />
a week when all the batch owners<br />
are in residence in Akaroa and the<br />
logistics of that combined with the<br />
cruise ships are horrifying to think<br />
of, the stress on resources it will have,<br />
sewerage being one thing,” he said.<br />
Deputy <strong>May</strong>or and Banks<br />
Peninsula councillor Andrew<br />
Turner saw the schedule for the<br />
coming season as an improvement<br />
from last season.<br />
“My understanding is that a number<br />
of those cruise ship days involve<br />
double cruise ships but some of<br />
them involve smaller ships,” he said.<br />
Cr Turner said Christchurch NZ<br />
was continuing to work with the<br />
cruise ship industry to avoid double<br />
cruise ship days involving two large<br />
ships in the future.<br />

Controversial liquor store plan met<br />
Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
A plan for a liquor store<br />
in Redcliffs went before<br />
the district licensing<br />
committee last week. Louis<br />
Day reports<br />
THE POLICE, the city council’s<br />
district licensing inspector and<br />
the Canterbury District Health<br />
Board’s medical officer of health<br />
all have no issue with the liquor<br />
store planned for the Main Rd<br />
shopping area.<br />
But a number of Redcliffs<br />
residents don’t want it.<br />
Forty-six<br />
made written<br />
submissions<br />
opposing the<br />
plan, while<br />
nine gave oral<br />
submissions<br />
at the hearing<br />
and a petition<br />
Neralie<br />
containing<br />
97 names was<br />
presented to<br />
Brittenden<br />
the hearings panel.<br />
Rizak Enterprises Ltd wants<br />
to put the off-licence in at 1/87<br />
Main Rd and operate from<br />
Monday to Sunday, 9am to<br />
10pm.<br />
Redcliffs resident of 23<br />
years Neralie Brittenden’s<br />
closing statement during her<br />
oral submission was met with<br />
applause and cheers from the<br />
public gallery.<br />
“There is a billboard that<br />
says say nope to dope, equally<br />
to that I say nah to liqaaa,” she<br />
said.<br />
She is concerned about the<br />
impact a liquor outlet could have<br />
on youth in the area. “I have<br />
12 grandchildren and I’m very<br />
mindful of the social issues that<br />
alcohol presents while kids are<br />
growing up,” she told the threeperson<br />
panel, chaired by Cindy<br />
Robinson.<br />
“I view it as an unnecessary<br />
influence on our young people.”<br />
This was a concern for many<br />
objectors.<br />
Rizak Enterprises Ltd sole<br />
director and shareholder Juraj<br />
Singh felt he was experienced<br />
enough to mitigate alcohol harm<br />
in the community. Mr Singh<br />
referred to the success of his<br />
Thirsty Liquor outlet in Papanui,<br />
which he has run for three years.<br />
“The application to renew the<br />
licence was not opposed by the<br />
reporting agencies, nor were<br />
there any objectors. I have good<br />
relationships within the local<br />
community with both residents<br />
and business owners. The good<br />
CHANGE OF<br />
SCENERY: A<br />
liquor store<br />
is planned<br />
for Main<br />
Rd, which<br />
is currently<br />
occupied by<br />
the Bloom<br />
Room<br />
Florist.<br />
order and amenity of the vicinity<br />
has not been reduced in any<br />
way,” he said.<br />
Counsel Peter Egden does not<br />
think what his client is proposing<br />
poses more of a threat than the<br />
Redcliffs New World alcohol<br />
section.<br />
“What Mr Singh proposes<br />
is far better than the exposure<br />
to alcohol at the supermarket,<br />
where a child can go to the<br />
supermarket unaccompanied<br />
and go up and down the liquor<br />
aisle unattended. They won’t even<br />
be able to go into Mr Singh’s<br />
store,” he said.<br />
Mr Singh originally proposed<br />
to operate the business under<br />
the Thirsty Liquor franchise,<br />
but decided to resubmit his<br />
application as an independent<br />
fine wine and spirits store.<br />
Mr Singh said there would not<br />
be the outdoor advertising that<br />
characterises a typical bottle<br />
store and he would ensure the<br />
windows would be frosted to<br />
the height of the shelving so the<br />
alcohol would not be visible from<br />
the street.<br />
Sumner Redcliffs Anglican<br />
assistant curate<br />
John Fox<br />
labelled the<br />
application as<br />
“incomplete and<br />
inconsistent.”<br />
Dr Fox<br />
questioned<br />
whether a fine<br />
wine and spirits<br />
store should be<br />
selling RTDs.<br />
Peter Egden<br />
Mr Singh said<br />
not all RTDs are bad.<br />
“Old aged people love RTDs,<br />
like Gordon’s gin and tonic.”<br />
Dr Fox did not think Mr Singh<br />
would be a “good neighbour.”<br />
He referred to when Mr Singh<br />
received a six-week suspension of<br />
his manager’s certificate in 2011<br />
for selling alcohol to an underage<br />
person.<br />

with opposition<br />
Dr Fox thought Mr Singh’s<br />
application failed to cater<br />
for Redcliffs “vulnerable<br />
community.”<br />
“We have substantial areas<br />
where people are still recovering<br />
from the earthquakes and we<br />
obviously had the terrorist attack.<br />
What we would have liked to<br />
see is a much more responsible<br />
approach to alcohol harm.”<br />
Mr Singh’s application was also<br />
criticised by Redcliffs resident<br />
Jackie Jones.<br />
She questioned why Mr Singh<br />
did not include tobacco in his<br />
application when he had full<br />
intentions of selling it in his store.<br />
Mr Singh said he simply forgot<br />
to include it in his application.<br />
“Everyone sometimes forgets,<br />
when you get ready you forget a<br />
watch or something,” he said.<br />
Ms Jones responded: “This is a<br />
legal document and this is what<br />
really concerns me. A process<br />
must be seen to be followed.”<br />
Redcliffs resident Dan<br />
Tremewan was concerned the<br />
instalment of a liquor outlet<br />
would increase the amount<br />
of disorderly behaviour on<br />
Beachville Reserve.<br />
Mr Tremewan said he would<br />
often come across piles of soiled<br />
clothing and inebriated people<br />
sleeping on the reserve.<br />
He said he had also been met<br />
Dan Tremewan<br />
with threats of violence when<br />
asking people keep the noise<br />
down late at night.<br />
“There are already too many<br />
problems on the reserve and we<br />
don’t want to see alcohol access<br />
extended and the problems<br />
increase,” he said.<br />
Mr Egden questioned whether<br />
Mr Tremewan would challenge<br />
New World’s liquor licence when<br />
it came under review.<br />
Mr Tremewan responded: “No<br />
teenagers I know go and drink<br />
pinot gris, they go and drink<br />
RTDs.”<br />

A TRIAL is under way to see<br />
if roadside plantings can help<br />
reduce the amount of sediment<br />
ending up in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Banks Peninsula’s hilly terrain<br />
is covered by a windblown<br />
sediment, which when exposed<br />
to rain and wind, is easily<br />
eroded and washes into the<br />
many small streams that feed<br />
into the harbour.<br />
The Whakaraupō Rd<br />
cutting trial is looking at<br />
ways to lessen the amount of<br />
sediment reaching the harbour’s<br />
waterways because it’s having a<br />
negative impact on the health of<br />
the harbour.<br />
“The harbour’s water quality<br />
is deteriorating as a result of too<br />
much sediment getting in,” said<br />
city council head of strategic<br />
policy Emma Davis.<br />
By encouraging vegetation to<br />
grow and cover the bare ground<br />
and slopes beside the roads, the<br />
team behind the trial hope to<br />
dramatically reduce the amount<br />
of sediment getting into the<br />
harbour.<br />
“Our team are trialling<br />
various ways to use vegetation<br />
to cover the bare soil and reduce<br />
roadside erosion. This includes<br />
applying a mixture of water,<br />

REPAIRS TO CLOCK TOWERS<br />
Work on the Scarborough Clock<br />
Tower is expected to begin in July.<br />
The clock tower will have the sill<br />
replaced and recast. The archways<br />
and steps will also be repaired. The<br />
repairs will be done in conjunction<br />
with the New Brighton Clock<br />
Tower as part of the city council’s<br />
cost-saving strategy. Both clock<br />
towers will have concrete and<br />
corrosion treatments applied to the<br />
entire structure.<br />
WHARF SUBMISSIONS<br />
Public submissions for the new<br />
Akaroa wharf are now open. The<br />
current wharf had a structural<br />
condition assessment in late 2018<br />
which identified it was reaching<br />
the end of its useful life. This is<br />
due to the declining condition of<br />
its hardwood timbers, particularly<br />
those below water. Public<br />
submissions for the new wharf<br />
close on June 26 and can be made<br />
on the city council’s Have Your<br />
Say page.<br />
BUILDING GEAR STOLEN<br />
A van was broken into and<br />

LYTTELTON businesses are<br />
enjoying the benefits of a rise<br />
in visitors since Sumner Rd<br />
reopened two months ago.<br />
The road connecting Lyttelton<br />
and Sumner was closed to<br />
traffic for eight years following<br />
extensive damage in the February<br />
22, 2011, earthquake.<br />
It reopened at the end of March<br />
after contractors spent two-anda-half<br />
years working to reduce<br />
rockfall risk and then repairing<br />
and reinstating the route.<br />
City council traffic counts on<br />
Evans Pass Rd at the bottom<br />
of the hill in Sumner show a<br />
50 per cent increase in traffic<br />
on weekdays. On weekends,<br />
the average number of vehicles<br />
more than doubled in the two<br />
weeks after the road reopened,<br />
compared to the previous two<br />
weeks.<br />
The average number of vehicles<br />
on a weekday grew from 1128 to<br />
1750; on Saturdays it rose from<br />
1<strong>29</strong>2 to <strong>29</strong>51; and on Sundays it<br />
increased from 1455 to 3045.<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> Business<br />
Association chairman Rob<br />
de Thier, who owns Lyttelton<br />
SuperValue, said there has been<br />
a dramatic pick-up in customers<br />
for local businesses, particularly<br />
in the hospitality sector.<br />
“It’s been good, especially<br />
for the coffee shops and bars.<br />
They’ve seen a noticeable increase<br />
since the road opened. With<br />
the supermarket it’s been steady<br />
instead of the normal drop-off we<br />
would have going into April and<br />
<strong>May</strong>. We haven’t had that yet,” he<br />
said. “We’ve also noticed what<br />
we call the ‘lycra brigade’ arrive<br />
en masse. After biking over the<br />
hill, they’ll stop here at the end<br />
BOOMING: Rob de Thier says Lyttelton has<br />
been noticeably busier since Sumner Rd<br />
reopened in March.<br />
Sumner Rd reopening helps businesses<br />
of their ride to have coffees and<br />
meals.”<br />
Lyttelton Coffee Culture owner<br />
Leona Cooper said the upturn<br />
was “absolutely noticeable”.<br />
“We’ve seen an increase every<br />
day, not just on weekends.<br />
There’s the cycling group and<br />
more elderly and middle-aged<br />
people. For some people it still is<br />
a scary thing heading through<br />
the tunnel, so for them, I think<br />
it’s really cool that they can<br />
come back to Lyttelton and take<br />
a scenic route getting here,” she<br />
said.<br />

BIG PLANS: The Head to Head Walkway is a project to create a continuous<br />
track around the coastline of Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> from Godley Head to<br />
Adderley Head.<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> residents oppose all<br />
Head to Head Walkway options<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
PROPOSED OPTIONS for<br />
the Head to Head Walkway<br />
were not well received by<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> residents.<br />
The walkway is a<br />
recreation track being<br />
developed in stages to<br />
extend from Godley to<br />
Adderley Heads.<br />
The five options the city<br />
council has put forward<br />
for the section through<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> were opposed<br />
by the local residents<br />
association.<br />
All options included sections<br />
of the walkway going<br />
through Andersons Rd.<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> Residents<br />
Association secretary<br />
Bill Studholme said they<br />
wanted a coastal walkway.<br />
“We think it should be a<br />
coastal walkway. The city<br />
council should bite the bullet<br />
and it should not be proposing<br />
going up Andersons Rd,<br />
it should be running around<br />
up the foreshore,” he said.<br />
City council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge said they<br />
would be considering all<br />
possible routes, including<br />
the coastal one proposed<br />
v<br />
by the association before<br />
making a recommendation<br />
to the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board.<br />
Mr Studholme thought<br />
a walkway going through<br />
Andersons Rd would pose<br />
a safety risk to pedestrians.<br />
“From time to time<br />
speeding does occur on<br />
Andersons Rd making it<br />
unsafe.”<br />
City council staff are currently<br />
preparing a report<br />
for the community board.<br />
A final decision by the<br />
board is expected to be<br />
made mid this year.<br />

‘I would like to be a firefighter’<br />
•From page 1<br />
Arlo said he was the envy<br />
of his classmates.<br />
He was so excited for his<br />
ride on the new fire truck<br />
that he woke up almost three<br />
hours before it was due to<br />
arrive.<br />
Xavier said he now wants<br />
to be a firefighter.<br />
“I would like to be a<br />
firefighter one day because<br />
I want to make sure people<br />
are okay,” he said.<br />
His father David Murphy<br />
said it was an experience<br />
both boys would remember<br />
for the rest of their lives.<br />
“It was amazing, the boys<br />
had a great time. It was an<br />
experience that you think<br />
they will carry with them<br />
throughout their whole<br />
lives. My son Xavier was just<br />
grinning ear to ear the whole<br />
time,” he said.<br />
After being picked up<br />
from home at 8.30am,<br />
they were taken for a drive<br />
around the bay and given<br />
full control of the sirens.<br />
Xavier departed in the<br />
new fire truck and Arlo in<br />
the tanker.<br />
“We drove around the bay<br />
a couple of times tooting and<br />
scaring their mates as they<br />
were walking to school,” said<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> Volunteer<br />
Fire Brigade chief Andrew<br />
Norris.<br />
The boys were given<br />
walkie talkies so they could<br />
communicate with each<br />
other during the journey.<br />
They were then taken up<br />
to Summit Rd where they<br />
had the chance to play with<br />
the fire hoses before being<br />
driven to school in style.<br />
Principal Judy Cooke<br />
described the moment they<br />
arrived as “an absolute<br />
scene.”<br />
“It was wonderful. It was a<br />
really big school event, it was<br />
really exciting,” she said.<br />
“They [the volunteer<br />
brigade] are a massive part<br />
of the community and they<br />
give us heaps of support and<br />
I think the other lovely thing<br />
is that lots of the firefighters<br />
are ex-students from here as<br />
well.”<br />

When It All Went to Custard<br />
by Danielle Hawkins<br />
Odds of saving marriage - slim. Farming expertise -<br />
patchy. Chances that it’ll all be okay in the end - actually<br />
pretty good..<br />
I wasn’t enjoying the afternoon of 23 February even before I<br />
learnt that my husband was having an affair..<br />
The news of her husband’s infidelity comes as a nasty shock to<br />
Jenny Reynolds, part-time building control officer and full-time<br />
mother - even though, to her surprise and embarrassment, her first reaction<br />
is relief, not anguish. What really hurts is her children’s unhappiness at the<br />
break-up, and the growing realisation that, alone, she may lose the family<br />
farm.<br />
This is the story of the year after Jenny’s old life falls apart; of family and<br />
farming, pet lambs and geriatric dogs, choko-bearing tenants and Springsteenesque<br />
neighbours. And of just perhaps a second chance at happiness.<br />

HECTOR’S dolphins have an<br />
important part to play in the<br />
economy according to a recent<br />
study.<br />
The study by Market Economics<br />
found hector’s dolphin-related<br />
eco-tourism brings almost<br />
$25 million to the New Zealand<br />
economy each year, with another<br />
$3-$6 million<br />
in associated<br />
tourist activity.<br />

476 jobs in<br />
the national<br />
economy.<br />
The total<br />
hector’s<br />
dolphin<br />
population is<br />
estimated to<br />
be between<br />
10-15,000 dolphins and is expected<br />
to have decreased by 74<br />
per cent over the last 30 years.<br />
The National Institute<br />
of Water and Atmospheric<br />
Research estimates that up<br />
to 100-150 hector’s and maui<br />
dolphins are drowned in set nets<br />
every year.<br />

Dolphins important to economy – study<br />
ASSET: Hector’s dolphin related eco-tourism brings almost $25 million to the New Zealand<br />
economy each year, with another $3-$6 million in associated tourist activity.<br />
would reduce the rate of<br />
decline.<br />
Black Cat Cruises chairman<br />
Paul Bingham said the declining<br />
hector’s dolphin population<br />
posed a real threat to businesses.<br />
“The presence of the<br />
hector’s dolphins sustains ecotourism,<br />
so we can assume fewer<br />
dolphins are likely to mean less<br />
eco-tourism activity,” he said.<br />
“We are one of seven ecotourism<br />
operators that rely on<br />
the presence of the hector’s<br />
dolphins to attract tourists. We<br />
all feel very protective of these<br />
very special mammals and the<br />
unique contribution they make<br />
to our lives, our culture and our<br />
environment.”<br />

Meeting to<br />
discuss freedom<br />
camping issues<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
THE BANKS Peninsula<br />
Community Board will meet<br />
with the city council to discuss<br />
resolving freedom camping issues<br />
in Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Residents have been frustrated<br />
by freedom campers throwing<br />
their rubbish on the ground only<br />
a few metres away from empty<br />
bins at the Stoddart Point Reserve.<br />
Congestion at the reserve means<br />
it is also difficult to find a car park<br />
in the morning before commuters<br />
catch the ferry to work.<br />
Freedom campers are currently<br />
restricted to staying for up to two<br />
nights in any 30-day period in<br />
certified self-contained vehicles.<br />
Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board chairwoman Pam Richardson<br />
said they would be meeting<br />
with the city council to discuss<br />
what the best way forward was.<br />
She was unsure when the meeting<br />
would take place.<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Community<br />
Association chairman Richard<br />
Suggate said they did not want<br />
to see a total ban on the reserve<br />
but better regulation and tighter<br />
restrictions.<br />
“There is still a problem in<br />
peak time in the summer causing<br />
a lot of space issues for people<br />
commuting. Adding more car<br />
parks is not a good idea,” he said.<br />
Is it time to clean<br />
your fireplace?<br />
Remember to let ash cool for at<br />
least five days and only dispose<br />
of it in the red bin.<br />

Lay of the Land<br />
Brent Forbes<br />
Brent Forbes exhibits his latest work in a solo show<br />
‘Lay of the Land’ at Little River Gallery which opens<br />
Saturday June 1st.<br />
Brent writes about his painting practice. “It’s like<br />
driving somewhere. A shape, a curve in the road or a<br />
certain piece of light comes to your attention then just<br />
as quickly disappears in the rear-view mirror. Several<br />
kilometres down the road the same thing happens<br />
again, each new vista either forgotten or somehow<br />
remembered, an accumulation of random memories.<br />
Upon arrival you now have a loose set of images<br />
in your mind – some can be tied to a certain<br />
place, others cannot – but either way there has<br />
been a conscious and unconscious engagement<br />
with your surroundings.<br />
Then you head into the studio and use these points<br />
of reference to start working. But working is<br />
something else. There is experimentation, conflict<br />
and resolution. There is engagement and restraint.<br />
There is a journey with its own rules.<br />
Sometimes you end back up where you started, but<br />
if you are lucky you can end up somewhere new –<br />
discovered because you had an idea of where you<br />
wanted to go but as you set off you threw the map<br />
out the window.”<br />

Walking in mum’s shoes<br />
THE WHOLE family was<br />
at home last week, but it<br />
was not been a complete<br />
holiday for me (well, you<br />
know what I mean), as<br />
Laura’s been recovering<br />
from an elective surgery.<br />
A gall bladder removal.<br />
Add that to the appendectomy<br />
she had during<br />
pregnancy and she might<br />
not have any organs left if<br />
we have another kid.<br />
It’s been great having<br />
some bonus family time,<br />
but poor Laura’s not been<br />
able to pick Vittoria up at<br />
all while in recovery.<br />
With me home all the<br />
time, it’s no big drama, but<br />
you try explaining the situation<br />
to a one-year-old.<br />
Laura could show bubs<br />
her boo-boos all she likes,<br />
it’s not going to sink in unless<br />
there’s a baby-friendly<br />
picture book on keyhole<br />
surgery out there.<br />
It’s pretty sad for me<br />
seeing Vittoria reaching<br />
up to her mummy and<br />
crying to be picked up and<br />
cuddled, Lord knows how<br />
tough that is for Laura.<br />
More cuddles for me I<br />
guess.<br />
She was off work<br />
last week and took the<br />
opportunity to come to<br />
some of the baby activities<br />
she’s missed out on.<br />
In less surgical matters,<br />
Vittoria took her first steps<br />
in her mum’s shoes last<br />
week.<br />
Literally.<br />
She’s started getting<br />
interested in our shoes and<br />
occasionally goes and grabs<br />
us some to put on if we are<br />
sitting on the couch. They<br />
may or may not be a matching<br />
pair.<br />
Well, after a few sessions<br />
playing shoe shop assistant,<br />
she decided to try them<br />
on herself. Her first go<br />
on Sunday saw her walk<br />

of Laura’s sneakers. Which<br />

Lyttelton Seafarers<br />

next level and wore Laura’s<br />
Ugg boots. I helped her put<br />
the second one on.<br />
They were a bit harder to<br />
walk in and she kept falling<br />
over, until one fell off<br />
and the other one turned<br />
around backwards.<br />
Then she could happily<br />
walk around the lounge<br />
until Laura needed her<br />
slippers back.<br />

Board chairwoman<br />

Rev McLister said LPC<br />
indicated they were going<br />
to instate a voluntary levy<br />

LPC strategic engagement<br />
manager Phil de Joux<br />
said discussions were still<br />
ongoing.<br />

this was a step in the right<br />
direction.<br />

are considering introducing<br />
a voluntary levy, they would<br />
be the first port in the country<br />
to do so,” he said.<br />
Cr Turner also saw the<br />
voluntary levy as a step in<br />
the right direction.<br />
“Lyttelton has always<br />
afforded a good quality of<br />
welcome to seafarers and<br />
we think that should be<br />
able to continue as best as<br />
possible,” he said.<br />
Discussions will<br />
continue when Rev<br />
McLister meets with LPC<br />
again tomorrow.

Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi<br />
Readers react to Rangiorabased<br />
company Peninsula<br />
Air Ltd’s plan to construct<br />
a runway for seaplanes in<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> and take<br />
people on scenic tours of<br />
the peninsula<br />
Trudy Mcbeath – I would<br />
just like to say that I would be<br />
quite happy to see seaplanes flying<br />
around Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
and taking off/landing between<br />
Rapaki and Quail Island.<br />
I am a Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
resident (17 years) and I enjoy<br />
avionics. I also think it would<br />
be a superb experience for both<br />
locals and tourists to enjoy the<br />
view of the harbour from the air.<br />
Bring it on!<br />
Simon Graham – I support<br />
seaplanes for Lyttelton Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>, and in fact all of<br />
Christchurch, we have to make<br />
things a bit more exciting, attract<br />
tourists, not just from overseas,<br />
but from other parts of New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Let’s show what a great place<br />
Christchurch is. I strongly support<br />
Seaplanes for Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
Geoff Hurrell – I would<br />
like to add my support to the<br />
proposal for a seaplane service in<br />
Lyttelton harbour.<br />
I reject the notion from the<br />
Your Local Views<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> Community<br />
Association that it would disadvantage<br />
other users and also the<br />
community board suggestion<br />
that the noise created would be<br />
intolerable.<br />
Firstly, I agree that this proposal<br />
should bring more tourists and<br />
locals to the area and increase the<br />
local economy and at the same<br />
time add a point of difference to<br />
our harbour.<br />
Secondly, the amount of noise<br />
that would arise from the occasional<br />
take-off or landing of a<br />
small aircraft would be negligible<br />
when one considers the noise we<br />
currently put up with.<br />
For example pile-driving,<br />
chainsaws, mowers, barking<br />
dogs, boy racers, motor-cycle<br />
club outings, and so on already<br />
provide us with a cacophony<br />
of noise and so one little plane<br />
would not make much difference.<br />
Besides, the aircraft operation<br />
would only be in daylight and<br />
likely only on fine weather days.<br />
Lastly, I like planes and the<br />
sight of one close by would be<br />
most pleasing to me, not in the<br />
slightest way annoying.<br />
Julie Sims – My husband<br />
and I have been living on the<br />
waterfront above the beach in<br />
Diamond <strong>Harbour</strong> since 1971.<br />
We strongly support the plan<br />
to fly seaplanes into Lyttelton<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong>. We look forward to<br />
seeing the venture succeed.<br />
The Barr-Warwick family –<br />
Our family wish to register<br />
our strong opposition to the<br />
application for sea planes to<br />
land and take off from an<br />
aerodrome in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
We live in the harbour basin<br />
and have done so for almost 20<br />
years. As regular users of the<br />
harbour in kayaks and boats we<br />
believe the aerodrome would<br />
severely impact<br />
on our enjoyment<br />
of the area due to<br />
noise pollution,<br />
obstruction of open<br />
water and disturbance<br />
to wildlife<br />
(especially birds).<br />
The volcanic<br />
formation of our<br />
harbour acts as a<br />
sound shell, and<br />
loud motorised<br />
vehicles such as low flying planes<br />
and jet skis create significant<br />
noise pollution across the entire<br />
upper reaches of the harbour.<br />
A plane taking off and landing<br />
creates a much greater level of<br />
noise than a plane flying overhead<br />
with a consistent volume<br />
and pitch.<br />
Jet skis with their inconsistent<br />
pitch due to acceleration and<br />
deceleration have been banned in<br />
the Sydney inner harbour for this<br />
reason (disturbance of the peace).<br />
Sea planes in Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
will have an even greater impact on<br />
residents due to the surrounding<br />
hills magnifying and refracting the<br />
noise via acoustic resonance.<br />
The harbour waterway is a<br />
busy and well utilised recreation<br />
area for residents of the greater<br />
Christchurch area. Adding an<br />
aerodrome to an already busy<br />
body of water is dangerous<br />
and will detract from the safe<br />
and peaceful experience for all<br />
harbour water users. Economic<br />
benefits to local<br />
residents from this<br />
venture are limited.<br />
We believe that the<br />
recreational enjoyment<br />
of the harbour<br />
on both land and<br />
sea, and the associated<br />
benefits to our<br />
well-being far outweigh<br />
the proposed<br />
financial benefits to<br />
the seaplane operator<br />
or enjoyment for tourists.<br />
Approving this venture will<br />
cause a significant reduction in<br />
the peacefulness of the harbour,<br />
and compromise the health and<br />
well-being of those living in the<br />
harbour and those using the harbour<br />
basin for recreation.<br />
The harbour and peninsula<br />
are a short distance from other<br />
airfields and tourists can already<br />
access flights over the harbour for<br />
sightseeing purposes.<br />
If tourists want to experience<br />
a water-based activity in the<br />
harbour we suggest they visit<br />
Lyttelton, spend some time<br />
in this lovely local village and<br />
take a trip on one of the many<br />
environmentally-approved trips<br />
that do not endanger our wildlife.<br />
Use winter to check your boat and equipment<br />
Navigation safety officer<br />
Gary Manch gives us<br />
an update from the<br />
harbourmaster’s office<br />
During the past 18 months<br />
we have been in the process of<br />
building a new work boat for the<br />
harbourmaster’s office.<br />
The vessel is called Marutau,<br />
which translated means safety in<br />
Māori.<br />
The purpose of this vessel is to<br />
ensure we keep up to speed with<br />
buoys that have washed away in<br />
storms and need replacement<br />
due to wear and tear. It’s a neverending<br />
job throughout the region<br />
as we cover Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>,<br />
Akaroa, Port Levy, and all of the<br />
Waitaki lakes.<br />
Pirate’s Corner<br />
Having this vessel also opens<br />
up the possibility of completing<br />
other work on the water within<br />
our organisation. This will be<br />
considered once we get our feet<br />
on the ground and the correct<br />
maritime approvals.<br />
We are nearing the end of the<br />
boating season and only the hardier<br />
boaties will still be out there.<br />
In fact, I know a couple of them,<br />
one’s called Jimmy and the other<br />
is Dave. Both are great guys and<br />
have nice boats.<br />
Jimmy’s boat is regularly<br />
serviced, and he’s completed a<br />
day skipper’s course. He always<br />
checks the weather and makes<br />
sure it’s safe to go out. He has a<br />
waterproof cellphone and holds<br />
a maritime VHF radio operator<br />
Certificate. His life jackets have<br />
been checked for safety. Jimmy<br />
has been boating for years and<br />
never had a problem, he’s a great<br />
skipper and I would go out with<br />
him any day.<br />
As for Dave, he is a great mate,<br />
but wow does he always seem to<br />
have trouble. He was towed home<br />
last season when his boat broke<br />
down, and he had to sit for hours<br />
waiting for a passing boat to wave<br />
down.<br />
This happened because his<br />
cellphone was flat and he had<br />
no VHF radio. Due to the rough<br />
conditions he was seasick – he<br />
forgot to check the marine forecast.<br />
Would I go out with him?<br />
Not until he brushes up on his<br />
preparation.<br />
On that note, spend some<br />
time this winter making sure<br />
your boat and equipment is safe<br />
for next season. A day skipper’s<br />
course is a good way to ensure<br />
you have the tools to keep you<br />
and your crew safe on the water.<br />
Or you may wish to earn a<br />
maritime VHF radio operator<br />
certificate.<br />

Injury-hit Sumner face beach battle<br />
SPORT<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
TWO SHIELDS will be on the<br />
line when Sumner play New<br />
Brighton in the battle of the<br />
beaches at St Leonards Square.<br />
The annual<br />
grudge<br />
match was<br />
given extra<br />
meaning at<br />
the weekend<br />
after New<br />
Brighton<br />
defeated<br />
Martin<br />
Dodgson<br />
Marist<br />
Albion 24-17<br />
to claim the<br />
DCL Shield.<br />
Their first defence will be<br />
against Sumner on Saturday.<br />
The shield is played for in a<br />
challenge format each week<br />
throughout the premier metro<br />
rugby competition.<br />
The Falton Shield – which is<br />
played for annually when the<br />
two seaside clubs meet – will<br />
also be on the line. Sumner won<br />
the Falton Shield in <strong>May</strong> last<br />
year when they defeated New<br />
Brighton 61-14.<br />
Over the weekend, Sumner’s<br />
resurgence and run of three<br />
straight wins was brought to an<br />
end when Burnside grabbed a<br />
late try to take the spoils 24-<strong>29</strong><br />
at Burnside Park.<br />
Sumner led 24-22 with less<br />
than 5min remaining before<br />
Burnside converted a try. From<br />
the restart, Sumner gained<br />
possession and spent a number<br />
of phases battering Burnside’s<br />
5m line before the hosts were<br />
awarded a penalty.<br />
Once again the Sumner<br />
forward pack showed their<br />
usual dominance. However, that<br />
was nullified midway through<br />
the match when the scrums<br />
went uncontested due to an<br />
injury to a Burnside prop.<br />
“They only stripped 21<br />
players, so they only have a<br />
hooker reserve on the bench, so<br />
if one of their props goes down<br />
injured they go to uncontested,”<br />
said Sumner coach Martin<br />
Dodgson.<br />
Sumner also finished the<br />
match with a lofty injury toll.<br />
A number of injuries to the<br />
Ladies golf champs<br />
THE CHARTERIS <strong>Bay</strong><br />
Golf Club hosted the annual<br />
Banks Peninsula ladies golf<br />
championships with 36 players<br />
from the Akaroa, Tai Tapu and<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong> clubs.<br />
The Kinloch Cup for the best<br />
nett overall score was won by<br />
Sharon Screen from Charteris<br />
<strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Other winners:<br />
•Silver division best gross –<br />
Carol Bates, Tai Tapu, 1; Chris<br />
Brodie, Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, 2.<br />
•Best nett – Faye Narbey,<br />
Akaroa, 1; Fran Anderson,<br />
Akaroa 2.<br />
CHALLENGE: Sumner will put the Falton Shield on the line when they face New Brighton on<br />
Saturday in the battle of the beaches.<br />
•Stableford – Sue Thurston,<br />
Akaroa.<br />
•Bronze one division best gross<br />
– Sharon Screen, Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, 1;<br />
Pam Brewer, Tai Tapu 2.<br />
•Best nett – Denise Whitbread,<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, 2; Julie Livesey, Tai<br />
Tapu, 2.<br />
•Stableford – Jeanette Drinnan,<br />
Tai Tapu.<br />
•Bronze two division best gross<br />
– Carole Steele, Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, 2;<br />
Janet Nicholls, Tai Tapu, 2.<br />
•Best nett – Jan Barkle,<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>, 1; Claire White,<br />
Akaroa, 2.<br />
•Stableford – Sue Nicholl,<br />
Charteris <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
backline saw the side use four<br />
different players at halfback<br />
during the loss to Burnside.<br />
With regular halfback<br />
Hayden O’Donnell unavailable<br />
due to injury, first-five Josh Toy<br />
got the start in the No 9 jersey,<br />
while Alistair Crossdale started<br />
at No 10. However, Crossdale<br />
pulled a groin muscle during<br />
the first play of the game, which<br />
forced Toy to move to first-five<br />
and Zack Gray – who played<br />
80min for the reserve side<br />
earlier in the day – to fill the<br />
void at halfback.<br />
Midway through the second<br />
half, Gray was substituted<br />
understandably after a<br />
combined 120min of rugby.<br />
Winger Piers Martin then took<br />
the reins. However, a shoulder<br />
injury saw him leave the field,<br />
which meant centre Willy<br />
Saukuru ended the match at<br />
halfback.<br />
The injury toll means coach<br />
Martin Dodgson will be forced<br />
to use the full depth of his<br />
squad just to put together a<br />
backline for the New Brighton<br />
match. “We’re going to have to<br />
look at whether we play division<br />
two because it’s going to be<br />
basically the whole backline<br />
which would have to play two<br />
games,” said Dodgson.<br />
A large crowd is expected for<br />
Saturday’s battle of the beaches<br />
match. Sumner have organised<br />
a temporary grandstand for the<br />
match, which they used at their<br />
recent club day.<br />
Kicks off is at 2.45pm.<br />
Tuala, Tawake<br />
in wider Canty<br />
training squad<br />
SUMNER forwards Mathew<br />
Tuala (above) and Samu<br />
Tawake have been included in<br />
Canterbury’s wider training<br />
group ahead of the Mitre 10<br />
Cup season.<br />
It is the second consecutive<br />
year prop Tawake has<br />
been selected in coach Joe<br />
Maddock’s wider squad,<br />
while No 8 Tawake has made<br />
the group for the first time<br />
as they look to gain a spot in<br />
the final squad ahead of the<br />
competition, which starts<br />
on August 8. They are set to<br />
join 38 other players from 13<br />
clubs around the region at the<br />
first wider training session at<br />
Rugby Park tonight.<br />
“The next few weeks is<br />
a chance for the coaching<br />
group to bring these young<br />
players into our environment<br />
to train, assess where they<br />
are at, and provide them with<br />
a development opportunity<br />
to complement their club<br />
season,” said Maddock. “Some<br />
of these players have been in<br />
and around Rugby Park before<br />
as part of our development<br />
programmes and teams, but<br />
for others, this will be a new<br />
experience and an exciting<br />
opportunity.”<br />
Taylors Mistake surfers to<br />
vie for world junior titles<br />
ESTELLA Hungerford and Ava<br />
Henderson will represent New<br />
Zealand at the ISA world junior<br />
surfing championship later in<br />
the year.<br />
The Taylors Mistake pair have<br />
been named in the 12-strong<br />
New Zealand junior squad to<br />
travel to the championships.<br />
The location for the<br />
championships is expected to be<br />
named in the coming weeks.<br />
Estella is one of three surfers<br />
named in the NZ under-18<br />
girls team, while Ava is one<br />
of three girls in the under-16<br />
team.<br />
Last year, Estella was part of<br />
the New Zealand team which<br />
finished 12th in the 44-team<br />
competition at Huntington<br />
Beach, California.<br />
Meanwhile, Ava will make her<br />
first appearance at the event.<br />
Ava, 14, has burst onto the<br />
national scene following a<br />
standout summer which saw her<br />
win the under-16 girls category<br />
of the national Billabong Grom<br />
Series.<br />
She has competed well<br />
beyond her years, winning a<br />
number of nationally ranked<br />
under-18 and under-20<br />
competitions.<br />
Estella, 17, has also been in a<br />
recent rich vein of form which<br />
saw her win the South Island<br />
open title in April.<br />

roof diesel is still a viable option<br />
Motoring<br />
Ross Kiddie<br />
I HAVEN’T quite worked out<br />
why New Zealand buyers shy<br />
away from diesel-powered cars.<br />
There are many reasons why<br />
diesel power is preferable, and if<br />
you take into account that most<br />
of the market leading sellers here<br />
are diesel-fed, notably double-cab<br />
utility vehicles, then I’m lost to<br />
explain why that popularity hasn’t<br />
channelled to diesel cars and<br />
SUVs, particularly cars – sedans<br />
and coupes.<br />
Many of the mainstream<br />
manufacturers are downsizing the<br />
diesel line-up, however, many of<br />
the European brands still see the<br />
worth of offering diesel in family<br />
vehicles, and if the Mercedes-<br />
Benz C220d is anything to go by<br />
I can see why it is incorporated<br />
into the five-car C-Class sedan<br />
mix.<br />
The C220d has a 2-litre<br />
turbocharged engine which has<br />
some amazing figures in terms of<br />
power output, performance and<br />
economy.<br />
It is rated with 143kW and<br />
400Nm power outputs, that’s<br />
strong enough to claim a<br />
standstill to 100km/h acceleration<br />
time of 6.9sec. The torque flow<br />
is strong from almost nowhere,<br />
and it delivers right through to<br />
the top end of the mid-range.<br />
That force delivers an immensely<br />
satisfying driving feel, it is the feel<br />
that I’ve described many times<br />
in my columns and for anyone<br />
contemplating buying diesel, it is<br />
wonderful to feel from under the<br />
accelerator pedal.<br />
While it has that amazing<br />
performance, the C220d also<br />
has incredible fuel usage figures.<br />
Mercedes-Benz claims an<br />
amazing 4.7-litre per 100km<br />
combined cycle average. That<br />
equates to around 60mpg in<br />
imperial terms, and if you are on<br />
a long highway cruise it will sip<br />
fuel at the rate of just 4.2l/100km<br />
(67mpg) at 100km/h, the engine<br />
just barely turning over at around<br />
1200rpm.<br />
I took the evaluation car on<br />
my usual Malvern Hills loop<br />
and enjoyed its freedom on the<br />
open road, it steers beautifully<br />
and provides all the satisfaction<br />
you get from a rear-wheel-drive<br />
car. Power is channelled in that<br />
direction through a nine-speed<br />
automatic gearbox.<br />
The transmission is a stunner,<br />
so smooth are the changes it’s<br />
almost as if there are no changes<br />
bar the needle shift on the<br />
tachometer. Of course, there are<br />
driver selectable steering-wheelmounted<br />
paddles, but I never<br />
used them a lot, far preferring<br />
to let the gearbox do its own<br />
thinking, the engine/transmission<br />
combination never disappoints.<br />
When pushed into a series<br />
of quick corners the C220d<br />
responds with beautiful balance<br />
and directional control.<br />
Grip is high through sport<br />
specification 19in Continental<br />
tyres and with clever traction<br />
control devices there is little<br />
chance the rear would step out<br />
under heavy power provocation.<br />
There are a series of corners,<br />
that I reserve solely for when I am<br />
evaluating rear-wheel-drive cars,<br />
and the C220d didn’t disappoint,<br />
it lunges out of a corner apex with<br />
the strength you can only get with<br />
turbocharged diesel power, it is<br />
infectious, and you also have the<br />
• Price – Mercedes-Benz<br />
C220d, $75,800<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4686mm; width, 1810mm;<br />
height, 1430mm<br />
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />
rear-wheel-drive,<br />
1950cc, 143kW, 400Nm,<br />
nine-speed automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 6.9sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 4.7l/100km<br />
satisfaction of knowing that when<br />
it comes time to slow for the next<br />
corner, huge brakes take care of<br />
slowing speed. The pedal feels<br />
tight and solid underfoot.<br />
The C220d is the epitome of<br />
the sports sedan market, the<br />
figures all stack up, and it feels<br />
just so right to be in. At $75,800<br />
I guess it has to have a lot on<br />
MERCEDES-<br />
BENZ C220D:<br />
Performance<br />
and economy.<br />
offer, but you do get a lot of kit<br />
in the car, and if you think of<br />
the quality within the way it is<br />
built and the amount of safety<br />
features and items for comfort<br />
and convenience, then it is money<br />
well spent, and the satisfaction<br />
that you get from every drive<br />
makes it a very desirable<br />
purchase.<br />
If you are C-Class buyer yet still<br />
can’t quite get your head around<br />
the complications of diesel with the<br />
road user charges Kiwi diesel car<br />
buyers have to face, bear in mind<br />
the C-Class is an entire range from<br />
four-cylinder to V8 petrol.<br />
As much as I like the C63S with<br />
its huge V8 power and sound,<br />
the diesel is the car for me, it<br />
represents all the amazing things<br />
you can glean from the engine –<br />
economy, low emissions, and that<br />
fabulous mid-range grunt.

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />
on Hawke St<br />
car park<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />
council.”<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the all<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />

submi sion if Fulton Hogan applies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand<br />
has b en a proached in a bid to<br />
fina ly repair the potholes in New<br />
Brighton’s Hawke St car park.<br />
Coastal-Burw od Ward city<br />
counci lor David East wants<br />
WorkSafe to pre sure the car<br />
park’s private owners into<br />
repairing the potholes which are<br />
a “trip and vehicle” hazard.<br />
WorkSafe chief inspector<br />
a se sment southern Da ren<br />
Handforth said it may be able to<br />
take action under the Health and<br />
Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a<br />
person conducting a busine s or<br />
undertaking.”<br />
Mr Handforth said WorkSafe<br />
is aware of the concerns raised by<br />
Cr East abou the car park.<br />
“WorkSafe has completed<br />
an a se sment visi to the site<br />
and is engaging with the owner<br />
to advise them that it is their<br />
responsibility to manage their<br />
risks a propriately.”<br />
Different parts of the car park<br />
are owned by various people<br />
and the Coastal-Burw od<br />
Community Board recently<br />
wrote to them about its concerns<br />
around health and safety.<br />
Cr East said the bi gest i sue<br />
in the past has b en ge ting in<br />
touch with the landlords and<br />
owners and ge ting them to<br />
agr e to anything. “The board<br />
a preciates that multi-ownership<br />
of the parking space may present<br />
a difficulty in co-ordinating<br />
repair/resurfacing but felt obliged<br />
to pa s these concerns onto you,”<br />
said the le ter.<br />
One reply has b en received so<br />
far from an owner who is wi ling<br />
to discu s the i sue. However, a l<br />
the owners would have to agr e<br />
to undertake work.<br />
Cr East said there had b en<br />
a “number of incidences” in<br />
the car park of people injuring<br />
themselves which had gone<br />
unreported.<br />
“I’ve always though that it<br />
has b en quite amazing that we<br />
haven’t had any serious a cidents<br />
or senior citizens perhaps<br />
tri ping in those potholes and<br />
doing themselve some damage.”<br />
He is confiden the new<br />
a proach wi l bring results.<br />
“I think the WorkSafe<br />
involvement may prove to be the<br />
lever that we are l oking for.”<br />
New bid to fix potholes<br />
Action looms<br />

THE PAPANUI-I nes<br />
Community Board has taken the<br />
rare step of starting a petition<br />
to figh the city council over<br />
funding.<br />
Signatures are being co lected<br />
in a bid to get funding for a community<br />
facility in Shirley.<br />
It comes after the city council<br />
removed funding for the centre<br />
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the<br />
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This<br />
was the site of the former community<br />
centre, which was badly<br />
damaged in the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake.<br />
The removal o funding<br />
prompted community board<br />
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten<br />
to stand down, citing it as her “die<br />
in the ditch” project.<br />
Ms Jone said the board’s role<br />
is to represen the community,<br />
and by gathering signatures from<br />
residents, it was fulfi ling that<br />
role.<br />
“One of the roles of a community<br />
board is to represent and act<br />
as advocate for the interests of its<br />
community and this is what we<br />
are doing. The LTP and a nual<br />
plans are a l about lo bying the<br />

Cave Rock<br />
Apartments’<br />
owners<br />
expect EQC<br />
sign-off<br />
this week<br />
• By Sarla Donovan<br />
THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave<br />
Rock Apartments ar expecting the<br />
Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off<br />
on a se tlement agr emen this w ek.<br />
Body corporate chairman Mike<br />
White said the group had gone<br />
into mediation with IAG and EQC<br />
on February 20, and signed off<br />
on a deal with IAG on February<br />
2 – coincidenta ly seven years<br />
to the day after the February 2,<br />
20 1, earthquake. However, they<br />
are waiting for EQC to sign the<br />
agr ement.<br />
“Given that EQC actua ly drafted<br />
the agr ement, there’ l be no<br />
problem with them doing that.”<br />
The apartment suffered damage<br />
in the February and June, 20 1,<br />
earthquakes and were demolished in<br />
late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the<br />
difference betw en indemnity value,<br />
$10 mi lion, and the sum insured,<br />
$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body<br />
corporate.<br />
The mediation agr ement<br />
prevented Mr White from disclosing<br />
the se tlement amount, but he said it<br />
involved the two parties paying “a bit<br />
more money than they’d wanted to<br />
earlier.”<br />

A WOOLSTON butcher proved<br />
to be a cut above the rest in an<br />
international competition.<br />
New World Fe ry Rd butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, recently<br />
came second a the World<br />
Butchers’ Cha lenge in Northern<br />
Ireland.<br />
It was the firs time Mr Garth<br />
had competed in the cha lenge<br />
and he was “rea ly proud” of<br />
how the team performed.<br />
“We produced some top quality<br />
products and came away<br />
with a g od result so we’re very<br />
ha py,” he said.<br />
The preparation for this year’s<br />
World Butchers’ Cha lenge was<br />
intense as the team members<br />
met in Auckland every two<br />
months for lengthy w ekend<br />
practices.<br />
Mr Garth, who has b en a<br />
butcher for 14 years, said the<br />
competition brought back his<br />
pa sion for the job.<br />
“Doing a l thi stuff and<br />
m eting new people, s eing new<br />
ideas, it just brings that flair<br />
back for you,” he said.<br />
Mr Garth hopes to own a<br />
butcher shop of his own someday<br />
but says for now he wi l focus<br />
on ge ting mor experience<br />
and on the 2020 cha lenge.<br />
“In two years’ time, we’ l be<br />
going back to try and win the<br />
title,” he said.<br />

Mr A pleton said it was<br />
important children were<br />
educated on what soldiers<br />
wen through during World<br />
War 1 and World War 2.<br />
But he said the presentation<br />
didn’t go into t o much detail<br />

the soldiers l oked like.<br />
Children were shown the type<br />
of kits horses were required to<br />
wear in the war.<br />

AN U PER Ri carton butcher<br />
has proven himself to be a cut<br />
above his Au sie rivals at an<br />
international competition.<br />
Elite Meats owner Corey<br />
Winder was named in the a l<br />
star team a the World Butchers’<br />
Cha lenge in Northern Ireland.<br />
Mr Winder and his team, the<br />
Pure South Sharp Blacks, which<br />
includes W olston butcher<br />
Jeremy Garth, finished second<br />
in the competition.<br />
He said the cha lenge started<br />
as a “transtasman test match”<br />
seven years ago.<br />
The preparation for this<br />
year’s World Butchers’ Challenge<br />
was intense as the team<br />
members met in Auckland<br />
every two months for lengthy<br />
w ekend practices. Mr Winder<br />
said coming second against 1<br />
other countries was a “fantastic”<br />
result.<br />
“To get second behind Ireland<br />
was a huge achievement and to<br />
be ahead of Australia is an<br />
even bi ger thing for us,” he<br />
said.<br />
But Mr Winder admires the<br />
Australian team.<br />
“Those guys over there<br />
[Australia] are on top of their<br />
game, they do a g od job,” he<br />
said.<br />
“And it just showcases that<br />
New Zealand has got some<br />
of the best butchers in the<br />
world,” he said.<br />
Mr Winder has b en a butcher<br />
since the age of 19.<br />

<strong>May</strong>or Lia ne Dalziel told the<br />
board on Thursday it had the okay<br />
from the city council to make a<br />
submi sion if Fulton Hogan a plies<br />
for a resource consen to create a<br />
qua ry.<br />
Board chairman Mike Mora<br />
told Western News the submi sion<br />
would likely o pose Fulton Hogan’s<br />
plan.<br />
“You can just about guarant e<br />
it . because we [the community<br />
board] don’t believe qua ries<br />
should be so close to residential<br />
areas,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said he wasn’t sure if<br />
the city council would endorse the<br />
board’ submi sion.<br />
“I’d like to think so because the<br />
city council has had their eyes<br />
open as we l ove recent years over<br />
the crysta line silica risk,” he said.<br />
Mr Mora said the community<br />
board wi l be “representing and<br />
advocating” for the Templeton<br />
community.<br />
