PAGE 2 Wednesday September 11 2019 BAY HARBOUR Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz get in touch from the editor’s desk PROGRESS LOOKS like it is being made in Lyttelton over the ongoing saga of police presence and crime (see page 1). Much of the community concern about both matters has stirred up a hornets’ nest on Facebook. That has led to the a private security company coming in and patrolling streets when police are not. You have to take your hat off to the security company for that. There was a meeting at the weekend where residents were able to thrash out their concerns. Police attended. The community patrol also needs more volunteers. What better way for the people complaining on Facebook to help out? And then there was the matter of two vehicles being stolen in Lyttelton after the meeting . . . – 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 Sick of late night tenant phone calls and being on call 24/7?

Wednesday September 11 2019 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News Many views on new Akaroa wharf A NUMBER of Akaroa wharf users believe cruise ship-related congestion is limiting community use. The city council received 95 submissions during a monthlong public consultation seeking ideas or suggestions on the wharf. Forty-eight submissions cited cruise ship crowding as an issue for the present wharf, followed by 19 Harry Stronach submissions on safety concerns relating to the condition of the 130-year-old structure. Akaroa Ratepayers and Residents Association chairman Harry Stronach said local people are unable to use the wharf when it’s busy with cruise ships. “There’s just so many people and so much activity on the wharf that it becomes quite difficult. There are issues with safety as well.” Fourteen submitters have raised issues with tourism and retail premises restricting space, while 11 have voiced concerns over refuelling access. Ten are unhappy about access for recreational boats and that buses collecting cruise ship passengers are causing traffic congestion. Fifteen submitters believe any new wharf needs more seating while 14 suggest access for local fishing and tourist operators needs to be improved. Eleven want a jetty built south of the boat ramp or near the recreation ground to better service tour bus passengers. However, 32 submitters cite recreational fishing as “working well” with the current wharf and 24 are happy with the commercial and tourism use. Twenty believe boat access also “works well” and the wharf is a “historical asset.” Many favour an “over-water“ restaurant or cafe, along with a shelter at the end of a new wharf. Nine submitters want the “heritage” wharf preserved, while eight want a new wharf with improved water and land access and a structure in keeping with the history of Akaroa. Meanwhile, several submissions favour the “picturesque” present wharf and its good location. Formal consultation on a concept design for the new wharf is due in early to mid-2020. City council head of parks Andrew Rutledge has welcomed the high level of community engagement on the wharf facilities. BIG RESPONSE: Plenty of feedback has been received about the future of the Akaroa wharf. “The range of views and suggestions clearly illustrates the high level of interest in the wharf, and the importance of having the community involved in the process,” he said. “Our next step will be further consultation with the Banks Peninsula Community Board as we move closer to a formulated concept design for the Akaroa wharf.” City council staff have been collating information on the condition of the wharf, including the impact on the environment of any new structure. The information – alongside the public feedback – will help with the design of a new wharf. In Brief MEET THE CANDIDATES Residents can meet city council and Environment Canterbury candidates running for the Heathcote Ward in the October local body elections at a meeting on Monday. It will start at 7.30pm at the Mt Pleasant Community Centre. Tea and coffee will be available. If you have any questions, email the community centre at community@mpcc.org.nz. STATION PAINTING Scheduled maintenance and painting at the Little River Railway Station started on Thursday and is expected to take three and a half months. The station and craft centre on Christchurch Akaroa Rd was due for routine work on the exterior. Work will occur on-site between the hours of 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday. Make sure you follow the instructions of the site crew during vehicle movements. $17,540 FOR FILM A fundraising project for a short film showcasing Port Levy has exceeded its target.
