Residents unhappy with 

rocks on beach near pathway 

• By Jess Gibson 

THE REDCLIFFS Residents’ 

Association is embroiled in a 

battle to have large piles of rocks 

removed near Shag Rock. 

Debris has been bought to the 

surface at Clifton Beach following 

the construction of the Coastal 

Pathway. 

Secretary Pat McIntosh said 

the association requested the city 

council restore the beach to its 

previous condition in September 

before rocks spread and the task 

becomes too hard. 

However, she was told 

contractors Fulton Hogan had 

sieved sand to remove all rocks 

greater than 100mm from the 

construction area. 

“Spending two minutes on the 

beach will reveal that either this 

is incorrect or the sieving has not 

been effective,” Dr McIntosh said. 

She would like to see the contract 

between Fulton Hogan and the city 

council to understand the process 

behind the removal. 

However, when Bay Harbour 

News requested to see the contract, 

city council transport planning 

and delivery manager Lynette Ellis 

said it would not be supplied as it 

contains commercially sensitive 

information.

get in touch 

from the editor’s desk 

I CAN see why Redcliffs Residents’ 

Association secretary Pat McIntosh is not 

overly happy with what’s happening on the 

beach near Shag Rock (page 1). 

She wants something done about the 

stones and rocks left over from the Coastal 

Pathway construction. 

But it seems the city council is happy with the way it looks, 

saying there has already been a general tidy up. 

That was done by Fulton Hogan, which built the Coastal 

Pathway. 

But getting Fulton Hogan to talk about what is left has proven 

difficult. 

It appears the city council’s contract with Fulton Hogan 

means it is the only one which can talk on the matter. 

But if Pat and the association say more needs doing, that is 

good enough for me.

Journeys of the Heart 

19 October – 19 November 2019 

19 October - 19 November 2019 

Two years since Clare’s last Little River gallery show, 

and much has changed in her life; she has moved south 

to Blueskin Bay and fashioned a new existence after the 

death of her life partner and fellow artist, Max Podstolski. 

Last September Clare travelled to Spain to walk part of 

the Camino, raising money for Leukaemia and Blood 

Cancer New Zealand, as a way of giving something to 

help others coping with a terminally ill loved one and a 

way of self-healing. 

It was an Main outward Rd, and Little inward River journey | 03 325 for Clare. 1944This time 

and distance away 

art@littlerivergallery.com 

allowed her to explore whether she 

could find a sense of joy again in her work and her life, 

and she was able to choose to keep on painting. The 

resilience of the human spirit to endure parting and grief, 

for Clare, came from the power and beauty of the natural 

environment around her. 

These works explore Clare’s journey back into painting 

and finding a sense of renewal and a path forward that is 

not merely surviving but thriving. 

The Last Plum Gone 

Little River Gallery open 7 days, Main Road, Akaroa Highway. 

Sing Me the Path Forward 

“Uplift my singing heart, 

as once it was torn asunder. 

The wound, now papered over, is not forgotten, 

but pulsing with a tenderness for a further chance of life. 

With every beat it grows a little stronger, a little lighter. 

The cycle of returning to old places, empty now without you, 

gives me a knowing that each movement forward, 

when facing the storm of solitude, 

is a healing. 

The call of the light reveals an illuminating path. 

Not merely to survive but truly thrive. 

Now dance me into a fresh dawn 

of hope and possibilities on 

these Journeys of the Heart. 

I’m over the moon to be alive.”

meeting next week. 

The meeting which is held 

every two years and organised 

by the Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association, will be 

held in the Matuku Takotako:

6.30pm. 

Presentations 

will be made 

by key speakers 

from the police,

Brigade, Land 

Information NZ and SCRA on a 

range of different topics. 

Some topics which will be discussed

where to go in an emergency, 

how SCRA can get more involved 

with the community, and 

more. 

Residents can email any questions 

they would like to have 

answered by the speakers during

committee to grant Mr Singh an 

off-licence. 

APARTMENT HEARING 

A High Court hearing next week 

could see the end of a nine-yearlong

of the abandoned complex at 11 

Marriner St after fighting with 

IAG and EQC for an amount 

which remains confidential. 

The hearing, which will run

In Brief 

WHARF REPAIRS 

Maintenance work is set to 

start at the Port Levy wharf 

on Thursday. Three new 

piles will be driven in before 

the work is due to finish on 

November 1. The wharf will 

also be straightened. 

UPGRADE FOR PARK 

Woolston Park is currently 

being upgraded. The city 

council has started work 

to improve the drainage 

network for the park 

and some surrounding 

properties. Contractors 

will renew the sports field 

irrigation, cricket wicket 

block and re-level the playing 

surface. There have been 

significant drainage issues at 

the park which impacted on 

the ability to use the grounds 

over winter. 

SEEDLINGS PLANTED 

More than 1300 native 

seedlings were planted on 

Saturday to help stabilise the 

banks of Lake Forsyth. A 

community planting day was 

held at 92 Western Valley 

Rd, Little River, as part of the 

Wairewa Bank Stabilisation 

Project. It aims to prevent 

erosion and restrict sediment 

loss into the lake to stop the 

potentially toxic blue-green 

algae from spreading further. 

Templeton focuses on climate change 


CLIMATE CHANGE will 

remain at the top of Sara 

Templeton’s priority list during 

her next three years at the city 

council table. 

She was re-elected as the 

Heathcote Ward councillor for 

a second term with 5092 votes 

on Saturday, beating contender 

Darrell Latham 

by 2090 votes. 

Cr Templeton 

said she aims 

to work with 

communities 

in the ward 

to develop 

strategies to help 

Darrell 

Latham 

manage and 

adapt to climate 

change. 

“It’s going to 

take all of us working together to 

be able to have an impact,” she 

said. 

The “eco-village” model being 

used at Redcliffs is an initiative 

she wants to help develop in 

other areas. 

“It’s cumulative, small impacts 

that help make a large impact, 

and when we act together, we 

make a real difference. Collective 

action is also the antidote to the 

despair that some feel about the 

climate crisis,” she said. 

“We do need some larger-scale 

systemic changes, however, 

GREEN: Sara 

Templeton cycles

such as in our transport 

system to make it easy for 

people to make climate-friendly 

choices.” 

She hopes to have a “huge 

conversation” with communities 

about dealing with the potential 

impacts of rising sea levels, 

storms and flooding events. 

“The coastal hazards section 

of our District Plan needs to 

be in place next year, so we 

need to get started on that really 

soon.” 

Cr Templeton cycles 10km to 

work most days or takes the bus. 

She said she is a vegetarian, has 

almost completely cut out dairy, 

and is attempting to go for a year 

without buying new clothes or 

shoes. 

She says she recycles and uses a 

keep cup for her takeaway coffee. 

During the last term, Cr 

Templeton helped with a list of 

projects across the city and in 

Heathcote, including the opening 

of Matuku Tokotoko: Sumner 

Centre and the reopening of 

Sumner Rd. 

She believes a “relentlessly 

positive” campaign and her hard 

work as a councillor allowed her 

to hold the seat. 

While her opponent Mr 

Latham did not get onto the 

city council, he was “absolutely 

delighted” to be re-elected to 

the Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board with 4586 

votes, alongside Tim Lindley 

with 4818. 

Gail Woods lost out on a board 

seat with 2403 votes. 

Mr Latham said it was “tough” 

running for the city council 

against an incumbent and 

congratulated Cr Templeton. 

Tim Lindley was also re-elected 

to the Heathcote community 

board seat.

Veteran beach track user fears for safety 


WHEN Malcolm Pearson 

fancies a swim, he heads to 

Paradise Beach. 

The 89-year-old ex-merchant 

navy captain has been utilising 

the coastal area since he moved 

to Charteris Bay with his wife, 

Dawn, 30 years ago. 

But for the past few years, 

problems with accessibility have 

been putting his safety at risk. 

The track was damaged in the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, but 

has got worse since. 

The current stairway is narrow, 

steep and subject to heavy 

stormwater run-off in significant 

weather events. 

Mr Pearson said there was 

once a handrail he could use to 

get up and down the staircase, 

but now he relies on tree 

branches to steady himself. 

“I’ve got to hold onto twigs to 

get up – I could have a slip,” he 

said. 

“When you get near the top, 

there’s a big step and there’s 

nothing to hold onto to find your 

way up there. 

“It’s a lovely beach for families 

to use, but they could improve 

access a lot more.” 

He said it would be nice if the 

access had been improved before 

November, in case he wanted to 

swim on his 90th birthday. 

RISKY: Ex-merchant navy captain Malcolm Pearson, 89, has been walking to Paradise Beach for 

30 years, but now fears he could slip on the unsafe track to the shore.

The path is set to be upgraded 

as part of the city council’s Head 

to Head Walkway plan. 

A small section from Marine 

Drive at Paradise Beach to 

the Charteris Bay Yacht Club 

was signed off by the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board in 

August. However, city council 

acting head of parks Wolfgang 

Bopp said staff are unable to 

determine a completion date at 

this stage. 

“Design resource has yet to be 

allocated, and operational staff 

will work with neighbouring 

property owners regarding 

design details,” he said. 

“Construction will begin once 

the design has been finalised 

after consultation with adjacent

landowners.” 

In the meantime, Charteris 

Bay Residents’ Association 

secretary Bill Studholme said the 

problem is getting “worse and 

worse. 

“It’s bloody dangerous. I’m 

concerned 

about mothers 

and their 

children. 

“Let’s be 

realistic, it’s 

going to be over 

10 years before 

the walkway 

is finished. 

The interim 

arrangement 

Bill 

Studholme 

should be to tidy up what we’ve 

got.” 

Mr Studholme said there is 

also a lack of parking which 

he hopes to raise with the city 

council.

TRIPS ACROSS Lyttelton 

Harbour could become a 

lot more environmentallyfriendly. 

Black Cat Cruises, which 

has been operating the 

Diamond Harbour Ferry 

service since 2000, is looking 

at buying a battery/ 

electric vessel. 

A detailed feasibility 

study is planned for completion 

by early next year 

and if everything goes to 

plan, a full battery electric 

ferry could be sailing 

between Lyttelton and 

Diamond Harbour early in 

2021. 

The city council will 

provide a $45,000 grant 

towards the purchase of 

Black Cat’s battery/electric 

ferry through the innovation 

and sustainable development 

committee. 

The Crown agency, the 

Energy Efficiency and 

Conservation Authority, 

•From page 1 

Fulton Hogan declined to 

comment. 

Ms Ellis said the smaller 

rocks found along the 

beach can remain as they 

are natural within the 

coastal environment and its 

tidal cycles. 

But Dr McIntosh said the 

fact the rocks were natural 

was “completely irrelevant.” 

THe Coastal Pathway, 

which will connect 

Ferrymead to Scarborough 

along the coastline, is set 

to be completed before the 

end of the month. 

THe project required 

city council contractors 

Fulton Hogan to remove 

sand as it was unsuitable to 

build on, which uncovered 

the rocks. 

THe debris extends for 

about 500m along the 

beach adjacent to the 

seawall and there is a 

section about 30m long 

near Shag Rock. 

THere are concerns that 

the small, gravel-like rocks 

will ruin the amenity of a 

sandy beach, as they would 

make it difficult for people 

to sit down or walk on it in 

bare feet. 

Environment 

Canterbury’s Banks 

Peninsula zone delivery 

leader Gillian Jenkins said 

the beach is expected to 

return to its previous state 

as there is no ongoing 

source of rock. 

“THe time frame for this 

to happen in is uncertain 

as it will be dependent on 

weather and sea conditions.” 

But Dr McIntosh said 

she is not convinced the 

beach will return to its 

natural state within a 

NEW 

TECHNOLOGY: 

Black Cat 

Cruises is 

looking at 

buying a 

battery/ 

electric vessel 

for trips across 

Lyttelton 

Harbour. 

Electric ferry plan for 

Diamond Harbour route 

has said it will contribute 

$200,000 towards the 

project. 

Black Cat Cruises chief 

executive Paul Milligan 

said the service is growing 

in popularity and a larger 

vessel is needed. 

“The company is always 

looking for ways to 

minimise their impact on 

the environment and it’s 

excited about investigating 

the possibility of an electric 

ferry.” 

“The relatively short trip 

times of the Diamond Harbour 

ferry service and the 

access to charging at the 

Lyttelton Port end make it 

the ideal ferry to further 

develop and test marine 

battery/electric technology,” 

he said. 

“A fully electric, zero 

exhaust emission vessel 

would not only be good for 

the environment through 

the reduction in greenhouse 

gas emissions, but 

also reduced engine noise 

for the marine mammals in 

the harbour.” 

Early investigations suggest 

that using two 250kW 

electric motors would reduce 

greenhouse emissions 

from the ferry by about 344 

tonnes per year. 

City council resource 

efficiency manager Kevin 

Crutchley said the project 

aligns well with the city 

council’s goals of reducing 

greenhouse gas emissions 

and air pollution from 

Christchurch’s transport. 

He said battery/electric 

vessels are a new, innovative 

technology in New 

Zealand. 

“Having a zero exhaust 

emission ferry operating 

on Lyttelton Harbour will 

demonstrate this exciting 

new technology to both the 

public and to the marine 

industry.”

have a strong view on this,”

GENERATIONS: Benjamin Imrie sits with father, Grant Imrie and 

grandfather, Bruce Imrie, as they reflect on the life of Maureen 

Imrie near Shag Rock, where she died in 2017. 

Family gathers at stone seat 


MORE THAN 50 family and 

friends of a woman who died near 

Shag Rock in 2017 gathered at a 

new stone seat to remember her. 

Mt Pleasant resident Maureen 

Imrie died when the car driven 

by her husband Bruce crashed 

through a barrier on Main Rd, 

Sumner, and into the sea. 

For the next two years after the 

crash, Mr Imrie, 81, worked with 

the city council to have the seat 

installed for his wife, who he was 

with for 58 years. 

He said the meet-up, which was 

held last Sunday, gave him closure. 

“I feel relaxed now that it’s done, 

I’m more than relaxed,” he said. 

He was “very pleased” that people

Week Light 

Super-Fast Meals to Make You Feel Good 

by Donna Hay 

Australia’s bestselling cookbook author and most 

trusted home cook, Donna Hay, returns with a beautiful 

new cookbook that you’ll want to use every night of 

the week. There are endless arguments out there for 

bringing more vegetables to your table - your own 

wellbeing, your budget, our environment, the list goes 

on. Whatever your personal reason, there’s one that I think 

is universal - FLAVOUR. Gone are the days where a sad 

salad or soft steamed carrots were our only options. These recipes 

use vegetables in a whole new way, adding so much life to your 

weekly routine. Who knew broccoli (in my mind the superfood of all 

vegetables) could make such a delicious pizza base, flat-bread or 

tart shell? Often for lunch, or even a snack, I’ll bake my super-green 

falafels in the oven and my studio team love them. As for my boys? 

Their current weeknight request is my crunchy raw pad thai - so yum. 

Inside Week Light, you’ll find all these ideas and so much more. It’s 

essentially my week in food, in a book - super-quick, family-friendly, 

fuss-free meals made REAL. Vegetables are at the forefront of nearly 

every recipe, with a few meat options thrown in, and there are lots 

of my all-time classics re-worked to include more goodness. 

This book is about using food to refuel and re-energise, 

while nurturing ourselves with flavour. Happy cooking! 

Prince of Ponies 

by Stacy Gregg 

War destroyed their worlds, now two young girls and their 

remarkable horses are fighting once more – this time to win. 

When twelve-year-old Mira stumbles across a white stallion in a forest 

in Berlin, she doesn’t realise that this horse will take her on an incredible 

journey. Together, they’re going to ascend the starry heights of Grand Prix 

show jumping, and sweep back in time to Poland in 1939 where another 

young girl is risking everything to save the horse that she loves… 

Prince of Ponies is a story of courage and the will to win against all odds. 

WIN THIS BOOK 

as Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney 

and Perth, turned up to pay their 

respects. 

Mr Imrie said the event even 

reunited him with two friends of 

his own who he had not seen in 

almost 60 years. 

“I really appreciated everyone 

coming,” he said. 

After the gathering near 

Shag Rock, the event moved 

to The Good Home restaurant 

in Ferrymead where speeches 

reflected on Mrs Imrie’s life.

Slow start and limited success 

FROM WHAT I can gather 

of this parenting game, there 

must be a whole lot time spent 

doubting your abilities. 

Whenever a friend’s child of an 

age with Vittoria does some new 

thing – talking, toileting, that sort 

of thing – I tend to think along 

the lines as to whether I should’ve 

been doing more to get bubs to 

match. Sounds dumb right? 

Getting her back into sleeping 

in her own bed and transitioning 

her to using a potty are my 

current goals. The thought that 

out there, people I know go 

through whole nights without 

being woken up by a toddler 

rolling onto their head and 

snoring in their ears spurs on the 

first goal. 

Hearing about the elaborate 

toilet training schemes of others 

drives the second. 

Because, lets be real, unless 

you’ve done it before, how on 

Earth do you train someone to 

use the toilet? 

The bed thing is pretty self 

explanatory, it just takes sufficient 

resolve and she’s been happy in 

her own bed (in our room still) 

for the last couple of nights. 

The potty thing? I’m not so 

sure. I tried slowly introducing 

a potty by getting her to sit on it 

before changing her clothes and 

it worked amazingly. Once. 

She successfully used it on 

FUN: Enjoying the noble art of 

stick-fighting before cleaning 

up. 

the first go, but the experience 

traumatised her somehow, it was 

actually an incredibly civilised 

affair with a victory treat. After 

four days I’ve only just bribed her 

enough to sit on it again. But only 

with pants her on. 

So, slowly, slowly on that one.

VITTORIA 

& Matt 

I assume, like I said, I’ve never 

trained anyone to use a toilet. 

But like a little surprise 

to boost my parenting 

confidence, I discovered on 

Monday that Vittoria is already 

an environmentally and 

community-minded young lady. 

I’d taken her to Latimer Square 

to run about in the sun and grass, 

with a side order of first stickfighting 

lesson. 

Right after learning the basics 

– stick sizes need to match and it 

doesn’t count if you don’t make 

“sword sounds” – she stopped, 

turned, and rushed off to throw 

a stray piece of paper in a nearby 

bin. 

But one was not enough, she 

ran about cleaning up all rubbish 

in a wide swathe of the square. 

Even two coffee cups at once. 

So, chalk that up to 

gold-standard parenting and 

one-step (sit?) at a time on the 

other stuff.

RENOWNED McCormacks 

Bay sculptor Llew Summers, 

who died on August 1, lives on 

through his artwork which is 

displayed in public spaces across 

the city. 

Now, his son Danny Summers, 

48, will help carry on his father’s 

legacy in an installation of work 

that is a departure from his usual 

style. 

Stone hearts which pay tribute 

to Llew will be on display at Teddington’s 

Loudon Farm during 

the largest sculpture exhibition 

in the South Island – Sculpture 

on the Peninsula – which will be 

held on November 8 to 10. 

Danny started “playing 

around” with sculpting using 

copper when he was 25. 

When his father fell sick about 

a year before he died, he told 

Danny to “pull his finger out” 

and start working with stone. 

After Llew handed over his 

equipment, Danny began cutting, 

grinding and polishing 

stone. 

Soon after, Danny said to his 

father, “I’m going to make love 

hearts for you.” 

“Of course he had to put his 

two cents worth in when he saw 

them. He told me how to polish 

them properly.” 

Danny feels his father has left 

him a legacy. 

“I will never be as good as him 

but then I’m different. I guess it’s 


not that my work is not as good. 

It’s just different.” 

Danny lives in Oxford and 

works on Loudon Farm three 

days a week, doing maintenance 

and all creative landscaping 

around the farm. 

“I have worked there for 18 

years and lived on-site for 10 

years. On my days 

off I am carving,” he said. 

“I used to work with timber, 

making tall skinny figures, the 

opposite of my father’s voluptuous, 

cuddly figures.” 

Danny’s Stone Hearts will be 

available for sale at the art exhibition 

on Loudon Farm, Banks 

Peninsula.

and music. 

On Saturday morning, a theatrical 

history re-enactment of 

The Landing unfolded on the 

main beach. 

Market day saw Frenchinspired 

stalls, games, food, 

entertainment and live music

Tasty Bites 

Moving veges to centre stage 

No longer the side dishes, the back-up dancers or the understudies, vegetables 

have earned their place front and centre on the plate as this pizza shows 

Broccoli margherita pizzas 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 x quantity broccoli dough (see 

following basic recipe) 

⅔ cup (50g) finely grated 

parmesan 

300g cherry tomatoes, torn in 

half and squeezed to remove the 

seeds 

¼ cup (4g) oregano leaves 

Extra virgin olive oil, for 

drizzling 

2 x 125g fresh mozzarella balls, 

torn 

Basil leaves, to serve 

Finely grated parmesan, plus 

extra to serve (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat oven to 200 deg C. 

Line 2cm x 30cm round oven 

trays with non-stick baking 

paper. 

Divide the dough in half and 

press on to each tray to make 

2cm x 28cm round pizza bases. 

Bake for 20min or until firm and 

slightly golden. 

Sprinkle the bases with 

parmesan and top with the 

tomatoes and oregano. 

Drizzle with a little oil. 

Return the pizzas to the oven 

and bake for a further 20min or 

until golden. 

Top warm pizzas with the 

mozzarella and sprinkle with 

basil and extra parmesan to 

serve. 

Cook’s notes: You can add 

your favourite toppings to this 

pizza. 

Just avoid anything that might 

make the broccoli base turn soft 

(such as tomato puree). 

It’s best to stick to fresh 

tomatoes with the seeds and 

some of the juice squeezed out. 

Try sprinkling over preroasted 

pumpkin, eggplant 

(aubergine) or zucchini 

(courgette). 

To have these pizza bases on 

standby for busy days, bake 

them for the first 20min, then 

cool, wrap and freeze for later 

use. 

Broccoli dough 

Ingredients 

600g broccoli florets (about two 

heads), roughly chopped (see 

cook’s notes) 

¾ cup (90g) almond meal 

(ground almonds) 

½ cup (25g) finely grated 

Parmesan 

3 eggs 

Sea salt and cracked black 

pepper 

Directions 

In small batches, place 

the broccoli in a food 

processor and process until 

finely chopped. Transfer to a 

large bowl. 

Add the almond meal, 

parmesan, eggs, salt and pepper 

to the broccoli and mix well to 

combine. 

Makes one quantity. 

Cook’s notes: It’s best if you 

don’t add too much of the 

broccoli stem to this dough. 

A floret with roughly 6-8cm of 

stem is great. 

Adding extra can make the 

dough watery. 

You can swap half, or all, of 

the broccoli for cauliflower if 

you prefer. 

Again, just don’t use too much 

of the stem.

REAL ESTATE 

All decked out! 

10 Challenger Lane, Redcliffs 

Asking price: $1,350,000 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 2 living rooms | 2 office/study | 3 car-garage 

2 off-street parks - Listing Number: SM0267 

This luxuriously appointed executive home 

is up-market and impressive. Designed 

by highly regarded O’Neil Architecture 

and built by quality hill specialist DJ 

Hewitt Builders this home is highly 

specified with local stone and peace of 

mind construction. Well positioned just 

above Redcliffs on the lower slopes you 

will enjoy spectacular ever-changing and 

uninterrupted views across the estuary to 

the ocean incorporating Moncks Bay and 

Shag Rock. 

Live all on one level as the upstairs hosts 

everything except the triple car garage 

and the 5th bedroom/office. Two light 

filled living areas have huge walls of glass 

and over height ceilings giving a spacious 

bright feel. The stunning streamlined 

kitchen has engineered stone benchtops, 

an island breakfast bar, walk-in-pantry 

and a clever study nook for flicking off 

the quick email while you wait for dinner. 

Warm timber floors and deep charcoal 

carpets are complimented by fresh white 


paintwork for a clean contemporary 

look. The front of the home wraps 

around extensive decking to maximise 

the sea views from nearly every room. 

Entertaining family and friends will be a 

pleasure on the enormous sundrenched 

decks with built in BBQ and seamless flow 

from both living rooms. 

There are four excellent sized bedrooms 

with a striking tiled main bathroom. The 

master suite has a corner window seat with 

dazzling views and timber louvres to let in 

the cooling sea breezes. It has a large walkin-robe 

and fully tiled ensuite bathroom 

with dual vanities and large walk-in 

shower. Three of the bedrooms have direct 

access onto the front deck while the 4th 

has sliding corner doors that could double 

up as a media room. 

There is level access into a triple car 

garage with internal access and plenty of 

off street parking. The property has been 

beautifully landscaped with extensive 

use of local Redcliffs stone in both the 

construction of the house and the garden 

walls giving that final touch of class. 

A superior lifestyle is to be had here in 

such a sought after location where you 

can easily stroll down to the supermarket, 

Redcliffs shops, Moncks Bay waterfront 

and yacht club. Our owners are now 

residing in Auckland and a sale is eminent.

mitre 10 mega ferrymead 

lend a helping hand 

On Wednesday 18th September, the Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead 

team lent a helping hand to the Landsdowne terrace Playcentre 

Landsdowne Terrace Playcentre reached out to Mitre 10 

MEGA Ferrymead through the Helping Hands initiative, 

asking for assistance in installing a slide and landscaping 

the surrounding area. The playcentre currently operates out 

of the Landsdowne Community Hall. They had architectural 

plans all ready to go – they just needed the materials and the 

muscle. That’s where Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead came in. 

After one site visit and a few meetings, a finalised design and 

materials list was established. On the 18th September, Mitre 

10 MEGA Ferrymead took eight team members and whole lot 

of gear down to the site to get the job 

done. 

The day began with a team meeting 

and safety briefing, then everyone got 

cracking on preparing the site and 

setting out the design. A couple of old 

woody shrubs were removed and string 

line was used to mark out the landing 

of the slide. The landing is a 9m2 softfall 

bark pad edged with Macrocarpa. 

The timber was cut to shape and then 

the digging began – lots of digging. 

The cavity was 350mm deep plus two 

800mm holes for the anchors of the 

slide. These were cemented in place then 

filled with stone chip and a filter cloth to 

create a drainage layer. A massive thanks 

to Canterbury Landscape Supplies for 

providing three cubic metres of soft-fall 

proudly supported by: 

bark which was added to complete the landing pad! 

Landscaping the surrounding area consisted of smoothing 

the hill slope with soil, fitting feature boulders, planting some 

vegetation and sewing grass seed. Brand new rubber matting 

was supplied at a discount thanks to AMS Distributors. 

It was a pretty big day and the Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead 

team worked super hard - and of course the outcome was 

amazing! The small hill was completely transformed into an 

awesome play space for the children! The team hope the kids 

enjoy their new play space.
