PAGE 2 BAY HARBOUR Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi Wednesday September 4 2019 get in touch from the editor’s desk THE LEGACY of the 2011 earthquakes still continue to wreak havoc. Right now they continue to tear the heart out of Sumner business (see page 4-5). It took a long time for the retail and cafe area to recover from the three big quakes in 2011. But now roadworks which are under way as part of upgrades to the village have put some back to square one. Chrissie Beardsley, who owns Chrissie’s Label Clothing on Nayland St, is feeling the full force of the downturn. She has managed to stay afloat with other funding, otherwise and she would have been forced to shut-up shop. The silver lining is once the roadworks and other improvements to the area are finished, Sumner will be looking pretty good. – Barry Clarke GENERAL INQUIRIES Ph 379 7100 CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Ph 379 1100 Star Media, a division of Allied Press Ltd PO box 1467, Christchurch starmedia.kiwi NEWS Jess Gibson Ph: 021 914 169 jess.gibson@starmedia.kiwi ADVERTISING Jo-Anne Fuller Ph: 364 7425 jo.fuller@ starmedia.kiwi Still Pedalling!

Wednesday September 4 2019 Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News Reserve status unlikely to be revoked • By Jess Gibson THE DEPARTMENT of Conservation does not believe an argument could be made to revoke the reserve status of a former Maori burial ground. There have been ongoing discussions about returning ownership and management of Purau Maori Reserve to local runanga over the past century. A report was presented to the Banks Peninsula Community Board in May last year which gave two options to return Andrew Turner ownership to local hapu Ngati Wheke, one of which would reclassify the land from recreation reserve to historic reserve. The second and preferred option was to revoke the reserve status, which would enable the city council to then consider returning the land to Te Hapu o Ngati Wheke. The report was laid on the table while clarification was sought on the derivation of the reserve and claims of error in the report. This was because the Purau Residents Association argued any decision to revoke the tree trouble? call us 384 9630 www.fourseasonstreecare.co.nz t h e t r e e p e o p l e f o u r s e a s o n s t r e e C a r e LAND: Reserve status is unlikely to be revoked at a Maori burial ground on Purau Ave, which must happen in order for local runanga to reclaim the land. reserve status would be an illconsidered act of privatisation. However, that report has now been “formally withdrawn by city council staff.” The community board was presented with information within the area report at its meeting on Monday. It said the report was withdrawn due to it being unlikely that the original recommendation from staff can proceed. DoC staff stated that given the current location, use and historical significance of the reserve, they did not believe an argument could be made that the land has no reserve value. Ngati Wheke representatives have indicated to the city council they are now seeking further advice from Ngai Tahu and the process is ongoing. Rapaki representative Yvette Couch-Lewis was unable to respond before the Bay Harbour News’ deadline. At the meeting on Monday, Deputy Mayor and Banks 4 2 1 2 89A Clarendon Terrace, Woolston - $509,500 Simply irresistible - they don’t come better than this! Peninsula councillor Andrew Turner requested clearer wording around DoC’s statement that they did “not believe” the reserve status could be revoked. He said wording needed to be clearer before the community board accepted the statement as there has been a lot of community interest in the issue. It is expected that a revised report will come to the community board within the next three years.

There have been ongoing issues with bins not being emptied regularly enough, which has upset residents. There has also been concern over the proximity of the bins to the water and the visual impacts this has for visitors. Meanwhile, graphics and colours for new Bigbelly Bins being installed in Akaroa are set to be considered at a meeting today. 2500 PLANTS FOR RESERVE THe Diamond Harbour reserve management committee estimates about 2500 plants have been dug in around the reserve so far this year. It compares to 1800 which were planted last year. There are still 400 plants available for use by the committee for 2019 and it is yet to be decided how these will be used.
