• By Louis Day<br />
AFTER YEARS of inaction on<br />
New Brighton’s Anzac bridge,<br />
city councillor Phil Mauger<br />
decided to take matters into his<br />
own hands.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Burwood Ward city councillor<br />
came across a local resident<br />
attempting to remedy the two<br />
walkways beneath the bridge,<br />
which have constantly flooded<br />
since the 2011 earthquakes, with<br />
a shovel and a trailer load of<br />
shingle.<br />
This is when Cr Mauger<br />
decided to step in, without the<br />
permission of the city council.<br />
“He was shovelling himself to<br />
death,” he said.<br />
“I told the bloke I’ll do it, not<br />
because I can’t get in trouble, but<br />
because I don’t care.”<br />
Cr Mauger has now filled one<br />
of the walkways with shingle<br />
using a Bobcat, making it about<br />
half a metre higher than it used<br />
to be and allowing for pedestrian<br />
access.<br />
“It is just common sense and<br />
it is making life easier for the<br />
people in the east.”<br />
He said he would seek city<br />
council authorisation to conduct<br />
similar works to the walkway on<br />
the other side of the bridge.<br />
Duncan Sandeman, who is<br />
acting director of the mayor and<br />
chief executive’s office, said<br />
staff were working with Cr<br />
Mauger to ensure if he wanted<br />
to undertake work on city<br />
council assets in the future<br />
he does so with the correct<br />
authorisation.<br />

the opposite side (above).<br />

Eastern suburbs<br />
repairs could<br />
take a while<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
IT COULD be a while until<br />
the eastern suburbs start to<br />
see Lianne Dalziel’s campaign<br />
aspirations for the area come to<br />
fruition.<br />
During October’s local body<br />
elections, Ms Dalziel identified<br />
repairs to the eastern part of the<br />
city’s footpaths, pipes and roads<br />
as one of her main priorities for<br />
this term.<br />
“We need a fully integrated<br />
programme of works for the<br />
east, I have loosely called this the<br />
eastern alliance, which would<br />
essentially be an alliance of contractors<br />
who can take the whole<br />
area bit by bit and systematically<br />
get the work done,” she said during<br />
the campaign.<br />
But chief executive Dawn Baxendale<br />
said any request to pursue<br />
a specific project in the east<br />
would have to be agreed upon by<br />
council. City councillors are yet<br />
to pass on any guidance to staff<br />
around this, she said.<br />
Ms Dalziel told <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong> some<br />
decisions could be made as part<br />
of the Annual Plan which is currently<br />
under public consultation<br />
until April 5 and will be finalised<br />
before July 1, and others as part<br />
of the Long Term Plan which will<br />
be reviewed next year.<br />
“We will have to consider the<br />
big issues which have essentially<br />
been on hold in the meantime,<br />
for example, the location of<br />
stopbanks along the Avon River<br />
and the impact on the roading<br />
infrastructure,” she said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>se are big decisions and<br />
will require the community<br />
board and councillors to be fully<br />
briefed and will require community<br />
input. Some decisions<br />
could be part of the Annual Plan,<br />
but the big ones will be part of<br />
the LTP.”<br />
Mrs Baxendale said the approach<br />
of using an alliance of<br />
contractors was something which<br />
was already being applied to<br />
work across the city.<br />
“We are committed as an<br />
organisation to aligning works<br />
wherever possible to achieve<br />
the best outcome in terms of<br />
efficiency and to minimise<br />
disruption to citizens. This is<br />
something we are applying to<br />
our work across the whole city<br />
and it very much encompasses<br />
the concept of what the mayor<br />
outlined,” she said.<br />
