Highway frustrations aired
By SHELLEY TOPP
Frustratedresidents spilled on to
StateHighway 1through
Woodend on Sunday, halting
traffic after awell­attended rally
in support of abypass.
The placard­waving protesters
left long traffic queues building
up to the north and south.
However,they were quickly
movedtothe roadside without
incident when the policearrived.
Senior Sergeant Andy Norton,
of the Rangiora police, said they
were called to ‘‘make sure
nobody got hurt’’.
The exasperationfelt by the
Woodend communityatliving
alongside abusy sectionofSH1
was expressedatthe gathering,
dubbed the Rallyfor Woodend.
It was held in Woodend’s Owen
Stalker Park, withmany among
the large crowdcarrying
placards calling for the longawaited
bypass.
The bypass, which would pass
east of Woodend, has been on the
drawingboard for decades,but
the government has set other
roadingpriorities, and no
funding has been set aside.
Woodend Community
Association presidentMark
Paterson, who is also aWoodend­
Sefton Community Board
member, said the Woodend
community had been waiting 40
years for asolution to the town’s
trafficproblems.
‘‘What you can’t argue with is
it’sjust not safe,’’ he said. ‘‘Does
someone havetodie on thatroad
before something is done?’’
He wantedthoseresponsible
for making the decision about a
bypass to considerthat, and
asked who would be responsible
if someone was killed.
‘‘Inthe private sector, if
dangerous problems like this are
ignored and peopleget hurt,
someone is fined, prosecuted or
Blockade ... Protesters, top, block State Highway 1through Woodend. Above, residents listen to aseries

WoodendSchoolprincipal
AdrienneSimpsonand the
Woodend­SeftonCommunity
Board’s chairwoman Shona
Powell, whoisalso on the Make
SH1 Safer Committee,both spoke
at the rally.
Speakers said the safety
measures planned for the
highway, andthe bypass, were
both needed because they would
make the town safer and abetter
place to live and visit.

‘‘To be clear,the safety
improvements and the bypass work
hand in hand,’’ Shona said.
‘‘Even if fundingwas announced
soon for the bypass, it would be years
before completion.
‘‘In the interimweneed the safety
improvements now so that people
can move around the town safely.’’
The rally was organised by
WaimakaririMPMatt Doocey to call
on the Government to include the
Woodendbypass in this year’s
Budget.
The National MP said the previous
National­ledGovernment had set up
the bypassin2017,but it had been
‘‘sequenced’’ behindother roading
projects.
However, withWoodend’sSH1
daily traffic counts expected to
reach 20,000 vehicle movements a
day this year,‘‘it is just not safe’’, he
said.
WaimakaririMayor Dan Gordon
offeredthe largecrowdaglimmer of
hope when he told them that the
councilsupported the bypass.
He said he wrote last yearto
Transport Minister Phil Twyford
seekingameeting to pushthe case
for the bypass.
The minister has agreed to meet
with him but adate has yet to be
confirmed.
Woodendcelebrant Jane Godfrey
was the rally masterofceremonies.
‘‘We are all here to make a
difference,’’ she toldthe crowd.
‘‘Buildthe bypass.Wehave had
enough.Itisnot safe in our village
anymore.’’

Chub and Rita Fisher celebrated 77
years of marriage in Rangiora this
week.
Chub, aged 101, and Rita, 96,
married in the Holy Trinity Church in
Greymouth on February 10, 1943, after
meeting at one of the regular dances at
Schaefers Dance Hall.
They say enjoying each other’s
company and sticking together in
times of strife and sickness has made
their marriage well worth each day.
The couple, originally from the West
Coast, now live at Northbrook Villas.
Chub was born at Rewanui and Rita
at Blackwater.
The young couple lived in Rununga,
where Chub joined the Rununga
Volunteer Fire Brigade, which was
formed in 1943. Today, he is the only
surviving life member.
They later moved to Christchurch,
where they bought adairy.
Chub worked at asawmill as there
was not enough work for two at the
dairy, before moving on to abread
delivery round.
He also delivered the Christchurch
Star and Sport Extra in the evenings.
They sold the dairy after seven years
and built ahouse in Emlyn Place, off
Avonside Drive. Chub continued his
early­morning deliveries for the
bakehouse and worked at a
sheetmetal factory in the afternoon.
They owned acaravan and abach at
Kairaki Beach, and moved into a
townhouse in St Martins, which
became avictim of the Canterbury
earthquakes.
On retiring, they spent up to six days

We stand together
What an exciting Rally for Woodend
we had on Sunday.
About 400 residents from across the
Waimakariridistrict descended on
Owen Stalker Park, carrying their
placards and signs, and calling on the
Governmenttoinclude the Woodend
bypassinMay’s Budget.
The speakers represented all sides
of Waimakariri life, from Woodend
Schooltothe WoodendCommunity
Association and Make SH1 Safer
Committee,toour mayor, and myself as
local MP.
How proud we were to stand
together and be apart of this
community­led action to fight for our
residents, who feeldesperate when
they wonder how they are going to get
acrossSH1 at Woodend, with vehicle
movementsthis year expected to reach
20,000aday.
As acommunity, we were gutted to
hear last month that the Government
failedtocommittothe Woodend
bypassinits transport infrastructure
announcements.
It was aslap in the facefor our
Algal bloom
warning lifted
The algal bloom health warning
for the Ashley/Rakahuri River
at Rangiora’s Cones Road
bridge has been lifted.
Recent cyanobacteria
surveys of the river at the
bridge has shown the cover of
potentially toxic algae (benthic
cyanobacteria) has decreased
and is now below athreshold
that is of concern to public
health. The rapid decrease in
cover is due to intermittent
flows at the site.
Canterbury Medical Officer
of Health Dr Alistair Humphrey
says Environment Canterbury’s
sampling of the river at the
bridge will continue to the end
of March, before resuming at
the start of next summer.
Ahealth warning remains in
place for the river at State
Highway 1.
residents to hear how Auckland got
billions while Canterbury received a
mere $159 million,with nothingfor
North Canterbury —and no
commitment to the Woodend Bypass.
We havebeen told there is about
$4 billion still to be allocated to
infrastructure projects.
With the Government’s Budget for
2020 due to be delivered in May,we
needed morethan ever to make sure
our voices are heard before then.
The idea for arally came out of my
public meeting last year on safety
issues on SH1.
At Sunday’s well­supported rally, I
called on Transport Minister Phil
Twyfordtocome down to Waimakariri
to meet with our Woodend School
community,local businesses, residents
and our council, becauseIbelieve he
should frontour residents directly.
We haveawindow of opportunity
before the Government decides on its
roadingpriorities,and it is only
throughstanding together as a
community thatwewill have our voices
heard.

Push to create acitizens' assembly
By RACHEL MACDONALD
It was all about power to the
people at the recent Aotearoa
Climate Emergency (ACE)
network meeting in
Swannanoa.
The event, at the start of this
month, was as an initial step
towards what the organisers
hope will lead to the
establishment of the country’s
first­ever government­funded
citizens’ assembly.
It attracted guest speakers
including Waimakariri MP
Matt Doocey.
The idea for using this type of
democratic, non­partisan
model to drive government
policy sprang from the Irish
citizens’ assembly in 2016,
explains ACE secretary Phil
Saxby.
He also aligns it with the
consultation process, with
which he was involved, that
saw the MMP voting system
introduced here in 1994.
In the Irish case, acouncil of
100 members, including a
government­appointed
chairwoman, was convened to
address political issues arising
from the Irish Constitution,
including debates surrounding
abortion, the ageing
population, and climate
change.
The activities of that group
are ongoing.
‘‘The Irish citizens’ assembly
meets once amonth in Dublin.
Members are recruited
professionally, and they get
together to discuss issues and
make recommendations to the
government, which then go to
full public consultation and a
referendum,’’ Phil says.
‘‘It has been shown to be a
highly effective form of
creating change. It’s about
giving people enough
information to make educated
decisions and establishing a
public mandate for finding a
way forward.’’
Why should agroup with a
national membership choose
Swannanoa as the seat for a
nationwide citizens’ assembly
on climate change?
‘‘This has to be about the
country, as well as the cities. It
has to come out of the whole
community. We’re hoping the
steering committee will be able
to offer rural perspectives, as
well as urban perspectives
from places like Christchurch
and Auckland,’’ Phil says.
He says the next step is to
take the proposal for acitizens’
assembly to the country’s MPs,
so that it can be taken forward
in parliament.
‘‘We adopted aconstitution
at this meeting, and elected a
committee. We now need to
push for across­party
commitment to establish a
citizens’ assembly for climate
change, just as France and
Canada have already done, and
the UK is in the process of
doing,’’ he says.
‘‘We need to be asking the
right questions: how can we do
things better in the agriculture
and transport sectors, for
example. Yes, it’s going to be
difficult and expensive to
create change, but the longer
we leave it, the more costly it
will become.’’

Young and old legs stride to race victories
By SHELLEY TOPP and
ROBYN BRISTOW
Age was no barrier to success in
last weekend’s Coast­to­Coast
endurance race.
Eyrewell teenager Henry
Sparkmadeabig impression in
the two­day multi­sport event,
winning his category and
finishing 15thoverallinthe
individualcompetition.
Henry, aged 17, completed the
243kmrace in 12hr36min 15sec,
47 minutes aheadofthe secondplaced
competitor in the school
15­18 years category.
At the other end of the
spectrum, Glentui’s Fred
Howard, who turns66this month,
won the vintage malemountainrun
section, clocking 4hr 10min
15sec.
Fredwas among the oldest
athletes competing.
For Henry, the two­day race
began at 7am last Friday at
Kumara Beach on the West
Coast, andfinishedthe next day
on New BrightonBeachin

‘‘Overall, the race went really

suchanawesome event.The start
was amazing as therewas alot of
excitement in the air and the sun
was just coming up as the start
hooter went off.
‘‘I was feeling pumped and
ready to go.The first run and bike
wentwell and Imanagedtoget
intothe first bike bunch.’’
However,because of high river
levels, the mountain­run course
was changedand the different
terrainprovedchallenging.
‘‘Weran over the viaduct but
still withplenty of off­roadtracks
and river bed,’’ he said. ‘‘I was
quite happywith my run time,
but my legs were not conditioned
to running overtar­seal road so
theyfelt like jelly by the end.’’
On day two, withthe river up,
the kayak section was also
difficult.
‘‘The kayakwas the toughest
partofthe race for me. Iwas
pleased just to stay upright the
whole way downand superrelieved
to see the gorge bridge
and my support crew.”
His parents, Geoffand

grandparentsMurray and Lynda

Geoff said it was ‘‘an amazing
and exciting experience’’
supporting Henry. ‘‘Thewhole

successand it is rewardfor his

Henry was thrilled withthe
support from his local Eyrewell
communityduring the final
stages of the race, Geoff said.
‘‘BeinganEyrewell boy, South
Eyre Road was home country for
him and he lovedthe support of
the locals who came outonthe
final bike ride.’’
Meanwhile, Fredisthinking
about contestingthe two­day
multi­sport event, whichhedid
in 2017, but carried an injury
which hampered his effort.
Whatever the decision, he is
determinedtotraverse Goat

KAIKOURA A&P SHOW, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22
North Canterbury News, February 13, 2020
Show to reflect district’sprogress
By DAVID HILL
President Matt Anderson
hopes this year’s Kaikoura
A&P Show will reflect how
far the district has come
since the 2016 earthquake.
The 2017 show was
cancelled after the quake,
while the following year’s
show was hampered by
Cyclone Gita and alack of
road access.
But last year’s show was
asuccess and Matt says the
show committee wants to
build on that this year.
‘‘It was good to see so
many people having fun
last year and this year
we’ve got plenty for the
kids to do, so it will be
another great day out.’’
Old favourites will be
back, such as the digger for
the children.
‘‘The kids just loved it.
The last couple of years
they’ve been lining up
until 5pm.’’
Matt and his wife Riya
are looking forward to
their second year as show
president and this year’s
theme of natural fibres.
‘‘We are encouraging
participants to dress up in
natural fibre, such as
throwing on awoollen hat
or rug. Of course, it might
get pretty hot if we get a
sunny day.’’
Once again the show is
well supported with trade
sites, he says.
‘‘It was nearly afull­time
job for Riya and Itoget
round and thank all the
SHOW PROGRAMME
trade sites last year.’’
Anew addition this year
is Bulloch Road Bows from
the Tasman region, which
will be making the trip
down to set up adisplay of
bows and arrows. They will
have an archery area for
people to have ago.
The Kaikoura Young
Farmers Club will once
again be helping out and
Matt is keen for the
Kaikoura High School
teenag club to be involved.
‘‘I’m keen to get young
people involved.
‘‘We’ve got astrong
committee, but any other
help we can get is very
much appreciated.’’
Since last year’s show
the committee has
invested in laying new
grass in the horse arena
and it has been irrigated in
the lead­up to the show to
ensure it looks ‘‘nice and
lush and green’’, so it is a
bit easier on the horses’
hooves, Matt says.
He says the show will be
in good hands next year,
with vice­president Colin
Nimmo ready to take over.
‘‘We have areal good guy
next in line. Now that he’s
settled into town, he’s been
putting in alot of effort to
keep the show going.’’

KAIKOURA A&P SHOW, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 22
North Canterbury News, February 13, 2020

Billy Black an ambassador for wool
Wool is set to take centre stage
at the Kaikoura A&P Show this
month.
With ‘‘natural fibre’’ being
the theme for this year’s show,
iconic North Island entertainer
Billy Black Woolman is
expected to be apopular
attraction, president Matt
Anderson says.
‘‘We had him at the show a
few years ago and he’s very
informative and entertaining
about the benefits of wool.
‘‘He has apig and asheep
that he shears and does afew
things with wool such as trying
to set himself on fire, which
doesn’t work of course, because
wool isn’t flammable.
‘‘It’s about showing how good
aproduct wool is.’’
On his website, Billy Black
Woolman says his show is borne
out of his many years of
experience as ‘‘a natural fibre
severer technician’’, otherwise
known as aprofessional sheep
shearer.
‘‘My journey took me to the
outback of Australia, through
the wild, wild west of Wyoming,
United States, to the Berlin
Wall and back,’’ Billy says.
‘‘I was involved in aworld
sheep shearing record where
8500 sheep were shorn in one
day. Ishore 675 of that lot. That
record still stands today.’’
Billy is considered an
❛It’s aboutshowing
how good aproduct
wool is.❜
—Billy Black Woolman
ambassador of the wool
industry and says he is keen to
show the ecological benefits of
wool.
‘‘It is asafe natural fibre that
can be worn year round. It
insulates in the winter and
breathes in the summer.
‘‘Moreover, wool is asafe
fibre in that it is resistant to
fire, unlike synthetic clothing
which many of us wear. I
demonstrate this by setting
myself alight with ablow
torch.’’
He says his own challenge on
stage is to get everyone to
‘‘either smile, laugh or talk to
their friends about the ‘wow, I
never knew that’ factor of what
they have just seen’’.
‘‘I know that Iachieve this in
every show and Ihave kept that
going now for over 17 years.
And, yes, Ilive on adrenaline.’’
Billy Black Woolman will be
performing two shows, one in
the morning at 10.30am and one
in the afternoon at 2.30pm.

Park-and-ride option
gets council backing
NEWS
North Canterbury News, February 13, 2020
17
By DAVID HILL
The Waimakariri District Council is
backing the creation of park­and­ride bus
services for thedistrict.
Park and ride facilities, waste reduction,
urbandevelopment, Fire and Emergency
New Zealand (FENZ)funding, water
supplies, rural leases and the Coldstream
Rd tennisdevelopmentwere amongthe
majortopics discussed at the recent
council meeting.
Councillorsvoted to endorse
Environment Canterbury’s preferred parkand­ride
option of four busruns each
week­daymorning directly fromRangiora
and Kaiapoi to the centralcity and
returning eachevening.
This would incura$30 ratesrisefor
urbanratepayers and$10 for rural
ratepayers.
Deputy Mayor Neville Atkinson backed
the proposal, saying ‘‘it’salready
happening’’.
‘‘There’shalf adozen cars parkedat
Tram Road on week days,sowealready
know it works.This is an intergenerationalchange.
If no­one starts it,
then it will never happen, so our
generation needstostart it.’’
Concerns wereraised overthe Ministry
for the Environment’s proposed waste levy
increase.
Cr Robbie Brine acknowledged the levy
needed to rise,but not at the level
proposed as it couldhave‘‘a negative
impact’’. But he hopeditwould leadtoa
regional solution to recycling.
Councillors opposed aDepartment of
InternalAffairsproposal to fundFENZ
through rates, rather than insurance.
MayorDan Gordonsaid ‘‘volunteer
brigades should be properly funded’’,
including vehicles and function rooms, so
they werenot having to constantly
fundraise.
Cr PhilipRedmondsuggested FENZ
shouldbefunded, at leastinpart, through
taxation,asnot all fireswere related to
properties.
Cr Atkinson began the meeting by
commendingthe efforts of localvolunteer
firefighters in respondingtolast week’s
Ashley Riverfire.
At present, the councilhas more than
490 leases and licences on councilland,
with around 265 for ruralgrazing androad
crossings. The remaining 230 are reserves,
commercialorcommunity­basedleases
and licences.
Anew land leasing and licences
managementstrategy has beenapproved
and can be viewed on the council website.
The proposed Coldstream Rd tennis
development is proceedingtothe resource
consent stage to build 10 tennis courts. The
council is contributing $1 milliontowards
the project, withthe Rangiora and
Southbrook tennisclubs planning to make
contributions from the sale of their
existing sites.
Mr Gordon says the project is an
importantone for tennis in the district.
‘‘We are now at apoint wherethis looks
like it will be areality which is great for
tennisinthe Waimakariri district. Tennis
clubs aroundthe district are very
supportive of thishappening because they
see thevalue of thisinvestment for the
sport of tennis as awhole.’’
With work on Stadium Waimakariri
progressingnext door, contractors will be
asked to linkthe services to theboundary
of the proposed tennis site.

By SHELLEY TOPP
The success of the inaugural
Inflatafest,held in Rangiora’s
VictoriaParkonWaitangiDay, has
given the organiser muchto
consider.
Alarge crowd packedthe park for
the event, whichran fromnoonto
5pm.Itincluded 16 children’s

OrganiserGraham Moss, of
Mandeville, who ownsFun HQ,said
he was happywith theturnout.
The feedbackfrompeople
attending the event had been great.
Parentsliked theidea of the entry
feegivingkids unlimitedaccess to
each inflatable throughout the day,
Grahamsaid.
He is keen to hold another
Inflatafestnext year,but thatisgoing
to require much consideration about
howtoprevent it frombeing moved
to abigger venue.
‘‘Ireally likeVictoria Parkasa
venue. Aesthetically,itisthe place to
be,’’ he said.
However, if the event becamemore
popular next year, abigger venue,
maybeDudley Park, might havetobe
considered.

He spoke about the story
ehind the treaty, noting
hat several iwi and hapu

which includes the courtfacilities.
Drainage and service infrastructure for
the plantand changing rooms is almost
complete, ready for the layingofthe
concrete slab.
‘‘Overall, the build is progressingwell
and, overthe comingmonths, we will
continue to see more framing going up
alongsidethe on­ and under­ground work,
before the focus shifts to putting aroof
over thestadium,’’ aWaimakariri District
Councilspokesperson said.
The siteonColdstreamRoad in
Rangiora places the multi­usesports
facility near other sporting grounds such
as the MainPower Ovalfor cricket,the

Fed Farmers urge patience
Federated Farmers is urging the
EnvironmentSelectCommittee to ditch
the Resource Management Act
Amendment Billand wait for the related
concurrentprocesses on its work
programme to play out.
The bill pre­empts and jeopardises
the comprehensive reviewofthe
Resource Management Actbythe
specialist panel appointed by the
Government, FederatedFarmers’
environmentspokesman Chris Allen
told the committeethis week.
It put the cart before the horse on the
Essential Freshwater proposals, which
sought feedback from the publicon
some of the samematters as in the bill.
FederatedFarmers is concerned that
while the Governmentisconsultingon
these exactproposals as part of the
EssentialFreshwater discussiondocument
process, it is concurrently
drafting its answers into the bill —
before assessing and addressing
feedback and concernsraised in the
morethan 17,500submissions received.
He says thebill is at odds with its key
aimsofreducing complexity, increasing
certainty, restoring public participation
and improving the act’s processes.
Mr Allen says fast­tracking freshwater
planning processes oftenbecame the
‘‘survival of the best resourced’’, with
smallercouncils left behind.

agricultural journalist and keenopenwater
swimmer Sandra Taylor.
‘‘We had 26 farmers turn up at Gore
Bay on Wednesday, which was fantastic.
‘‘We have been abletodothis with

The programmewas launched at
SumnerBeach, during January and is
part of amental health initiative
encouragingfarmers to get off their farms
and into the water.
Surfing for FarmersCanterburyisan
extensionofafarmer mental health and

He was inspired to establish Surfing

documentary Resurface.
The documentary showedhow surfing
helpedheal American war veterans
sufferingfrom post traumatic stress

‘‘Stephen saysthe one line in the
documentary that particularly resonated
with him was when the war vet described
how he usedtowake up every day
wanting to shoot himself,’’ Sandrasaid.
‘‘Nowhewakesupwanting to go
surfing.’’
Sandra swimsinthe ocean all year
roundand knows the feeling of wellbeingshe
gets from beinginthe water.
She wanted farmers to sharethe
experience.
‘‘There are alot of reportsemerging
now about the scienceofcold­water
therapy and surfingintreating anxiety,
depression and other mental health
issues,’’ she said.
Sandra got funding from Rabobank and
the NorthCanterbury RuralSupport
Trusttoget Surfing for Farmers

but it was alwaysher intentiontorun the
programme at Gore Bay also.
‘‘We are still running at Sumner on

In the lead­up to Gumboot Friday on
April 3, Mike King and 30 supporters plan
to travel 2000km from Bluff to Cape
Reinga on afleet of 20 tractors to host
free community and school events
throughout the country.
While details are still being finalised,
the group plans to stop in Christchurch
on March 9and 10, before passing
through North Canterbury on March 11.
The Gumboot Friday initiative was
launched last year and aims to raise
$5 million for free counselling.
Last year, $1.3m was raised to provide
10,670 critical counselling sessions to
more than 2500 children and young
adults.
New Zealand's latest suicide statistics
released in August last year show that, in
the year to June 30, 685 people took their
lives.
“Now, more than ever, we need Kiwis
to reach out to friends and whanau,’’ Mr
King says.

Feedback sought on
town centre review
By DAVID HILL
What will Rangiora’s town centre look like
in 2030? Residentsare being invited to do
alittle crystal­ball gazing as the
WaimakaririDistrict Councilreviews its
Rangiora Town Centre Strategy.
MayorDan Gordonsays the review is
timely as the district continues to grow.
‘‘There will be lots of potential fornew
businesses, so we want to hear what
people’s thoughts are.
‘‘This strategy is not just about
businesses. We want to develop avibrant
town centre wherepeople can enjoy
spending time and createpublic areas that
promote our residents’ health, happiness
and wellbeing.’’
The town’spopulation has passed 18,000,
is expected to reach 30,000 by 2048.More
than 60 percent of Waimakariri residents
view Rangiora as their primary shopping
destination.
Rangiora’stown centrealso attracts
visitors from the Hurunui district and
northern Christchurch.
The council’sbusiness and centres
manager, Simon Hart, saysthat as the
district grows, there is an opportunity to
identifygaps in the marketand to help
developers ‘‘fill the gaps in the right way’’.
‘‘We do wellinboutique shopping, food
and the supermarkets, but thereare other
areaswhereweare losing retailspend into
the city.’’
As the district grows, Rangiorais
expected to needanadditional 6to9
hectaresofbusinessspace.
Mr Hart says this can be achieved
through better utilisation of existing
spaces, building upwards with more multistoreybuildings,orbyextending
the
business 1zone.
‘‘There are still anumber of houses
withinthe business 1zone and that’s
normal. But someofthoseowners willbe
aware of this, so there could be
opportunities for them to take advantage
of that. Otherbusinesseswill need to
consider ‘arewespecifically atown centre
function or shouldwebeinamore rural or
amore industrial area’.
‘‘We are also lookingatthe height,
what’sappropriate, whatcan be increased
and what are the typesofactivities which
could operate on the second or third
floor?’’
One option could be town centre living
on the upper floors of buildings. Mr Hart
says the eight upstairsapartments being
built in the Burger King development will
be watchedwith interest.
The existingbusiness1zone takes in the
south side of Blackett St, westofEast Belt,
the northernside of Queen St, hooks
aroundVictoria Parkand Rangiora
Borough School and ends alittletothe
west of King St.

By DAVID HILL
Kaiapoi will get anew parkingfacility,
whilethe cycleway from the townto
Belfast is astep closer.
Councillorshave agreed to delegate
authoritytothe utilities and roading
committee to decideonthe site for
Kaiapoi’s park­and­ridefacility, subject
to arecommendation from the Kaiapoi­
Tuahiwi CommunityBoard,whilethe
detaileddesign of the cycleway was also
approved at lastweek’s council meeting.
The park­and­ride facility will allow
Environment Canterbury to proceedwith
its planstorun commuter buses directly
from Kaiapoi into the central city each
week day.
The Kaiapoi­Tuahiwi Community
boardwill be asked to choosebetween
sitesinBlackSt, next to the Kaiapoi

Monday. The utilities and roading
committee is due to meet the next day.
It is proposed to provide 40 park­andride
parks, as well as parks for employees
of local businesses and two­hour parks
for customer use.Itisexpected to cost
$250,000.
MayorDan Gordonsays councillors
agreedtoback the design plans for the
Belfast to Kaiapoi commuter cycleway,
which has alreadybeen approved by the
Kaiapoi­Tuahiwi Community Board.
The proposed shared cycleway routeis
along the western side of Main North Rd
and thenalong Vickery and Peraki
streets.
‘‘I thinkit’s avery exciting
developmentand one that has been
neededfor sometime.’’
Theproject is expectedtocost nearly
$1.8million and is subject to aTransport
Agencysubsidy of 51 percent.
At present, cyclists travelling from
Christchurch to Kaiapoi need to crossthe
narrow, old Waimakariri bridge on Main
North Rd.
Arecreational cycleway into Kaiapoi
will alsobeconsidered as part of next
year’sLong Term Plan,while Enterprise
North Canterbury is continuing to
explore funding options to create the
Wheels to Waipara cycleway from
Christchurch to Waipara.
