Historic landfill sites pose 

risk to rivers and sea 

Fears of 

another 

Fox Glacier 

• By Louis Day 

NINE CLOSED landfills 

across Christchurch filled with 

“unknown materials” could be 

vulnerable to releasing waste 

into rivers and the sea. 

The historic 

landfills are 

located in 

low-lying 

coastal areas 

or near rivers, 

leaving them 

at risk of being 

Tanya 

Jenkins 

compromised 

by flooding, 

erosion, storm 

surge and 

increased river flows. They are 

also unsealed and unlined, failing 

to meet modern standards. 

In addition to the nine across 

the city, there are also six landfills 

which pose a similar risk on 

Banks Peninsula. 

The city council is currently 

investigating and monitoring 

CONCERN: There are fears historic landfill sites like this one in McCormacks Bay could end up as an ecological 

disaster like the Fox Glacier landfill did last year.

the sites. 

A number of the of the sites 

are located around the Avon 

Heathcote Estuary. 

Avon Heathcote Estuary Ihutai 

Trust manager Tanya Jenkins 

fears this could lead to a similar 

disaster to what happened at Fox 

Glacier, Westland. 

In March last year, an 

old landfill site burst open 

following torrential rain and 

flooding, littering the Fox River 

and coastline with rubbish. 

“All it takes is a major storm 

and continuing erosion and we 

could see a situation similar to 

Fox Glacier,” Jenkins said. 

City council manager of 

resource recovery Ross Trotter 

said the city council will be 

attempting to identify the 

“unknown materials” within 

the sites. • Turn to page 4

Historic landfills didn’t 

have modern standards 

• From page 1 

He said it was part of the city 

council’s ongoing management 

and monitoring strategy. It would 

also prioritise projects to mitigate 

against the impacts of climate 

change on the old landfills. 

Trotter said the excavation of 

the at-risk landfills and disposal 

of them into modern ones was a 

possibility and would be assessed 

on a case by case basis. He added 

that the costs of this approach 

were likely to be “significant.” 

He explained how historic 

landfill practices have given rise 

to this situation. 

“These sites were not lined with 

a barrier liner or capped with 

an engineered layer as would be 

expected today,” he said. 

“This means that waste materials 

deposited in these landfills was not 

managed with modern standards 

and could therefore be more vulnerable 

to release of contaminants 

into the environment. 

Trotter said materials such as 

metals, general municipal waste, 

building waste and industrial 

wastes were all commonly disposed 

of in these landfills up until 

the establishment of modern

regulations. 

In these situations, hazardous 

substances like asbestos can also 

be an issue he said. 

The 15 potentially at risk sites include 

the old Bexley Landfill which 

is set to have nearly $1.5 million 

spent on it to prevent further erosion 

happening to its shoreline. 

University of Otago associate 

geography professor Mike Hilton 

said the landfill sites posed a 

threat to the environment and 

recreational areas. 

“Some of the rubbish dumped 

could be toxic, like leftover farm 

chemicals, industrial waste, who 

knows? The Ocean Beach domain 

landfill in Dunedin, for example, 

contains asbestos and a range 

of things you don’t want kiddies 

walking over,” he said. 

Hilton said this was a nationwide 

issue.

In Brief 

FREEDOM CAMPING 

Concerns surrounding freedom 

camping in Akaroa have been 

raised at the latest Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

meeting. They were concerned 

about the lack of funding 

to monitor non-compliant 

freedom camping in the area 

for the coming summer season. 

The community board will 

raise the issue of funding and 

enforcement with the city 

council regulatory compliance 

team. 

REDCLIFFS WORKS 

Work has now started to develop 

the former Redcliffs School site 

into a new, recreational reserve 

called Te Papa Kura Redcliffs 

Park. The redeveloped site 

will have junior sports fields, 

playground facilities, paths, 

and space for future public 

amenities. This development 

will replace the sports fields 

which were on the new Redcliffs 

School site. The first phase 

includes the construction of 

two junior sports fields, paths 

and landscaping. The onsite car 

park will be closed during its 

construction, but the existing 

playground will remain open. 

Future phases included a toilet 

block and additional furniture. 

Construction is expected to be 

completed by December this 

year.

Top lifeguard to use award to 

Luke Smith is 

Canterbury’s lifeguard 

of the year. Matt 

Slaughter caught up 

with the 21-year-old 

about working fulltime 

as a lifeguard at 

Taylors Mistake Surf Life 

Saving Club and his 

goals to inspire future 

generations of surf 

lifesavers 

How long have you been surf 

lifesaving and why did you start 

in the first place? 

I’m kind of like a secondgeneration 

clubby. My dad [Chris 

Smith] was involved when he 

was growing up and I kind of 

followed in his footsteps. Then 

it’s obviously [been] years of 

giving back volunteer time to our 

local community, then gaining 

qualifications to pass on to 

lifeguards I work with. 

How old were you when you 

started surf lifesaving and why is 

it important for people to learn 

water safety at a young age? 

Probably four-years-old. 

I think it’s really important 

especially in Christchurch, where 

everyone lives so close to the 

beach. For the juniors, it’s a lot 

better with water safety and how 

to be safe around the water and 

those lessons on rules to kind of 

follow when you’re at the beach. 

COMMITTED: Luke Smith from Taylors Mistake Surf Life Saving Club is Canterbury’s lifeguard 

of the year. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

Tell me more about your 

family’s involvement in surf 

lifesaving and how they 

inspired you to start? 

My dad’s been involved since he 

was a youth and then mum [Lynn 

Smith] has coached since my sister 

[Maia Smith] started and then my 

sister’s still involved now. 

They’re all members of 

Waimairi Surf Lifesaving Club. 

Dad was involved when he was 

growing up throughout. Then, 

when my sister started to show 

interest, they got back involved. 

Dad ran the juniors at the 

club for around 12 years and is 

now a life member of the club. 

So his give-back to the club and 

the region has been huge and 

he’s definitely still involved 

today. 

What have been some of your 

most memorable days or rescues 

as a lifeguard? 

There’s probably one three 

summers ago. We had a day where 

we just were faced with lots of 

rescues in a short span of time. 

What stuck out, really, was the 

teamwork of everyone around 

us, not only the lifeguards on the 

beach but the other lifeguards 

that were just at the beach 

enjoying the day also helped and 

got involved. You don’t really 

stop. Everybody’s got that one 

thing in mind and they push 

towards that. 

It was pretty non-stop for a bit 

but it was awesome to be a part 

of and help out our community. 

Explain to me the feeling of 

carrying out a rescue? 

Obviously you’ve got the 

adrenaline going into it, so you 

feel quite good, but that’s why 

we do our training and that’s 

why we’re at the beach doing that 

every night – so when we’re faced 

with those situations we can 

treat them as well as we can. 

How do people usually react 

after being rescued? 

It’s different for each person 

and obviously the severity of 

each rescue on how they react 

to it. Most people are really 

thankful and that’s why we train 

and do what we do, is to make 

sure people are safe when those 

situations occur. 

If we’ve got that time with 

the patient afterwards [it’s] 

just educating them on, 

potentially, what caused them to 

get in that trouble. So if they’re 

faced with situations in the 

future [they know] how to deal 

with them.

WWW.FLOORINGXTRA.CO.NZ 

What tips do you have for 

work with too. 

What opportunities could 

winning the award lead to? 

I guess it’s showing new 

members coming through what’s 

available and then assisting them 

down those pathways to reach 

their best. 

There are so many opportunities 

and I think that’s the great part 

particularly about Surf Lifesaving 

New Zealand. There are so many 

different avenues depending on 

what your skill set is and what your 

interests are. 

What do you enjoy about 

being a member of Taylors 

Mistake Surf Life Saving Club? 

It’s such an awesome office and 

you’ve got so many environments 

around you that you’ve got to deal 

with. So, for us as lifeguards, it’s 

really good to use our skills and 

find those best swimming areas 

that ensure public safety. 

It’s just such a nice place to go, 

so not a bad place to spend your 

summer. 

It’s such a nice, close-knit 

community over there, so to 

be able to give back to that 

community is really cool. 

What are your hobbies outside 

of surf lifesaving? 

I’ve played water polo for plenty 

of years and then, obviously, 

surfing and just being around the 

water is what I like to do. 

I represented the Canterbury 

men’s [water polo] team and the 

New Zealand schoolboys [team]. 

How has playing water polo 

helped you in your role as a 

lifeguard? 

They kind of go hand in hand 

quite well because, with the water 

polo season being over the winter, 

it’s a great way to keep your fitness 

up. Being in the water and having 

to use different skills really adapts 

over the two sports really well. 

What are your favourite 

beaches in New Zealand? 

In terms of Christchurch, it’s 

pretty cool to be able to surf at 

Taylors. We go to Gore Bay quite 

a bit too. 

What are your goals for the 

future in terms of surf lifesaving? 

It’s continuing to empower 

those volunteers and provide 

and show the pathways of what’s 

available for them. 

It’s so cool to see those younger 

ones coming through and 

kind of finding their feet and 

assisting them in areas where 

they’re able to gain extra skills 

or extra knowledge through Surf 

Lifesaving New Zealand. 

Not only is it myself winning 

this award but it’s developing 

younger guards and even 

experienced guards coming 

through. Working with them and 

instructing them on how they 

can get better. 

Have you had lifeguard 

experience overseas and do you 

plan on doing this again in the 

future? 

Over the summer, I spent a 

month in Maroochydore on the 

keeping safe at the beach? 

When patrols are on, the main 

thing [is] swim between the flags. 

Us as lifeguards, we know the 

place pretty well, so, obviously, 

when we go and set up our 

patrols we put the flags in the 

best area of the beach possible 

and they’re there for a reason. 

For any kids swimming, 

particularly, it’s making sure that 

they’ve got someone with them. 

It’s just that never swim or 

surf alone mentality of always 

having someone with you, so if 

something does occur, at least 

you’ve got someone out there. 

Have you watched Baywatch 

before and were you inspired by 

the show? 

Not really. It was before I 

probably even watched TV, so it 

didn’t have too much of an impact.

NEW RELEASES 

The Giver of Stars 

by Jojo Moyes 

Alice Wright marries handsome American Bennett Van Cleve hoping to escape her 

stifling life in England. But small-town Kentucky quickly proves equally claustrophobic, 

especially living alongside her overbearing father-in-law. So when a call goes out for 

a team of women to deliver books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt’s new traveling library, 

Alice signs on enthusiastically. 

The leader, and soon Alice’s greatest ally, is Margery, a smart-talking, self-sufficient 

woman who’s never asked a man’s permission for anything. They will be joined 

by three other singular women who become known as the Packhorse Librarians of 

Kentucky. 

What happens to them – and to the men they love – becomes an unforgettable drama 

of loyalty, justice, humanity and passion. These heroic women refuse to be cowed by 

men or by convention. 

And though they face all kinds of dangers in a landscape that is at times breathtakingly 

beautiful, at others brutal, they’re committed to their job: bringing books to people who 

have never had any, arming them with facts that will change their lives. 

Chasing The Light 

How I Fought My Way into Hollywood - From the 1960s to Platoon 

by oliver stone 

In this powerful and evocative memoir, Oscar-winning director and screenwriter, Oliver 

Stone, takes us right to the heart of what it’s like to make movies on the edge. 

He writes about his rarefied New York childhood, volunteering for combat, and his 

struggles and triumphs making such films as Platoon, Midnight Express, and Scarface. 

Before the international success of Platoon in 1986, Oliver Stone had been wounded 

as an infantryman in Vietnam, and spent years writing unproduced scripts while taking 

miscellaneous jobs and driving taxis in New York, finally venturing westward to Los 

Angeles and a new life. Stone, now 73, recounts those formative years with vivid 

details of the high and low moments of his career…plus other on-set experiences 

from movies, The Hand, The Deer Hunter and Salvador and his first Academy Awardwinning 

film, Midnight Express. Written fearlessly, with intense detail and colour, 

Chasing the Light is a true insider’s story of Hollywood’s years of upheaval in the 

1970s and ‘80s, and Stone brings this period alive as only someone at the centre of 

the action truly can. 

My Lies, Your Lies 

by susan lewis 

One life destroyed by a lie. 

Freda has never shared her history with anyone before. But now she’s ready to tell 

the story that has haunted her for forty years – about a 15-year-old girl falling 

madly in love with her teacher. 

One life destroyed by the truth. 

Hired by Freda, Joely is there to help uncover what really happened – 

but as the story starts to unravel, it will end in a way she could never have 

imagined. 

Uncovering the secrets of the past comes at a deadly price … 

The Quick and the Dead 

True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist 

by Cynric temple-Camp 

True stories of life and death from a New Zealand pathologist. 

From the number-one bestselling author of The Cause of Death comes a book 

about the unlikely, extraordinary, obscure and often tragic ways humans meet 

their end. 

A dead body without a trace of trauma; alien parasites; worms of the brain; 

crocodile attacks and bizarre eating disorders ... In The Quick and the Dead, 

pathologist Dr Cynric Temple-Camp takes readers into a world of disease and 

death as he seeks answers for those who were unlucky, and those still alive to 

tell the tale.

It Started with a Secret 

by Jill Mansell 

Jill Mansell’s heart-warming new book is the perfect escape from the winter weather. 

A beautiful Cornish setting, a chaotic family, a woman who’s had enough of romance 

- or has she? The trouble with secrets is that you can’t guess what the consequences 

will be . . . Lainey has lost everything. Luckily one little fib (OK, quite a big fib) helps 

nail her dream job. Soon she’s living in a stunning house by the sea, fending off 

obsessed fans for a retired – if far-from-retiring - actor and organising his charming 

but chaotic family. It’s definitely worth the challenge of keeping her secret. 

At least Lainey isn’t looking for love. It’s time for a break from all that. And yet . . . 

Seth, the actor’s grandson, really is rather attractive. There’s growing chemistry and a 

definite connection between them. But how would he react if he knew she hadn’t been 

honest with him?Lainey’s not the only one with a secret, though. Seth has one of his 

own. And everything’s about to start unravelling . . .

Peninsula projects to 

benefit from funding 

NATIVE BUSH, native 

species and waterways look 

set to benefit from more 

than $100,000 allocated 

to four community-led 

projects across Banks 

Peninsula. 

The projects secured Immediate 

Steps Biodiversity 

funding with the support 

of the Banks Pennisula 

Water Zone Committee. 

Mt Herbert Station will 

get $40,000 over the next 

two years to protect two 

regenerating native bush 

stream gullies. 

More than 25ha of gorse 

and kanuka dominated 

gullies will be fenced and 

then protected using a 

QEII National Trust covenant. 

The gullies have wetlands, 

native vegetation 

and coastal forests. The 

project connects to other 

neighbouring covenants 

to create native cover from 

the top of Mt Herbert to 

Diamond Harbour. 

The Stencliffe protection 

project will get $38,500 to 

fence and protect a section 

of Pigeon Bay Stream. 

The 12ha regeneration 

project will be on a sheep 

and beef farm bordering 

the stream. There

are patches of forest and 

wetlands. It has raupo and 

tui – both uncommon on 

Banks Peninsula. 

Stencliffe landowners 

Hugh and Jane Eaton are 

enthusiastic about work 

that will strengthen the 

farm environment while 

protecting water quality, 

biodiversity and bird 

habitat. 

With fencing and a 

covenant through Banks 

Peninsula Conservation 

Trust, “another part of 

Banks Peninsula’s precious 

forest will be protected”, 

Jane Eaton said. 

The Thelning protection 

project will receive $16,440 

to fence and protect the 

forested stream in Okains 

Bay. The Christchurch 

City Council’s Biodiversity 

Fund has also contributed 

$21,440 towards this 

project. 

Just under 3ha of land 

on a beef farm in Okains 

Bay will be protected by a 

Banks Peninsula Conservation 

Trust covenant. 

The landowners have one 

existing QEII covenant on 

their property, with other 

covenants on neighbouring 

properties. 

Landowners Cynthia 

DENIS O’ROURKE 

Candidate, Banks Peninsula 

and Peter Thelning will 

fence an area of stream in 

Okains Bay. 

The Goughs Bay Hayley 

fence project will receive 

$15,435 over the next two 

years to fence two gullies. 

The council’s Biodiversity 

Fund has also contributed 

$17,737. 

The fencing will create 

a larger buffer zone from 

the water’s edge to filter 

out runoff and improve 

water quality for in-stream 

habitat. 

The gullies provide 

habitat for several at risk 

or declining native species, 

which will be further 

enhanced by fencing them 

off to allow the understory 

to regenerate. 

Goughs Bay landowner 

Marie Haley said the fences 

will protect blocks of bush 

she played in as a child. 

“Once I realised how 

degraded the understory 

was by grazing, I wanted 

to protect them so they 

can fulfil their fullest 

abundance and beauty.” 

Zone committee chair 

Benita Wakefield said the 

projects highlight some 

of the collective effort to 

improve the waterways and 

biodiversity.

Election 2020 

Votes pledged across major parties 

Successive polls 

suggest the Labour 

Party could get enough 

votes to lead whatever 

government is formed 

from the general 

election. Reporter Louis 

Day took the pulse in 

our region’s electorates 

THE ONLY opinion that matters 

is that which voters take into the 

polling booth – but that does 

not mean views are always set in 

stone. 

Voters have had plenty of food 

for thought over the past few 

weeks. Successive polls suggest 

the Labour Party could lead the 

new government but candidates 

of all shades are doing all they 

can to sway the vote their way. 

This is acute in the new-look 

Banks Peninsula electorate. The 

old Port Hills electorate lost 

Halswell and parts of Bromley, 

and added Banks Peninsula to 

manage large changes in population 

in the Christchurch and 

Selwyn. 

Pundits say the addition of 

more rural voters makes the 

electorate more marginal. It was 

held by Labour MP Ruth Dyson 

when it was Port Hills.

FAMILY TIME: John Cumberpatch, who was enjoying 

some quality time with his grandchildren and dog Steve in 

Lyttelton, was leaning towards National. 

his grandchildren on London St 

in Lyttelton, said he was leaning 

towards National. 

In his younger years, he 

voted for Labour, however, this 

changed as his political beliefs 

altered with age. 

“Historically I voted for 

Labour, my Dad was a trade 

unionist and I campaigned for 

Norman Kirk when I was 21. 

Then it came apparent the socialist 

view of the world was about 

cutting the pie a different way, 

where I like National’s approach,

as it is about making a bigger 

pie,” he said. 

Sumner remains part of the 

electorate and, at Sumner beach, 

Nati Pari said he was voting for 

“the red party” while Astrid 

Neumann, strolling through 

Sumner, was also leaning towards 

Labour. 

“I always have had leanings in 

that direction and they [Labour] 

seem to suit me well,” she said.

sea of Labour supporters when 

the newspaper canvassed the

Siouxzi Rowe Adarsh Chand Lucinda Shirreffs 

electorates were shades of green. 

Siouxzi Rowe of Lyttelton said 

she was voting for the Green 

Party for environmental and 

social reasons. 

Gillian Wilkinson of Sumner 

was the same: “The environment 

was of vital importance, without 

a healthy environment you can’t 

have a healthy population,” she 

said. 

The Green Party polled at 5 per 

cent in the most recent 1 News/ 

Colmar Brunton poll. Labour 

polled 53 per cent, and National 

32 per cent. These three parties 

were the most often cited when 

the newspaper approached voters. 

Back in the city, those approached 

near Canterbury University 

were concerned about the 

ongoing impact of Covid-19. 

Student Adarsh Chand, 19, was 

impressed with the Labour-led 

Government’s response to the 

pandemic.

Student Angeline Leversedge, 

22, was still deciding which 

party she would give her vote to 

but was complimentary towards 

Prime Mnister Jacinda Ardern’s 

leadership. 

“She has done an incredible job 

given everything she has had to 

put up with, a terror attack, volcanic 

eruption, a baby, Covid.” 

Lucinda Shirreffs, 21, said she 

was leaning towards Labour, 

and that her friends were “either 

Labour or Green.” 

Elsewhere, Rob Hempseed said 

he would vote National and that 

he thought its new leadership 

team, particularly leader Judith 

Collins and Gerry Brownlee, 

would give the party a boost. 

Andrea Louisson said she 

would vote national, too: “We 

need to tighten the reins after 

the big spend, and the virus is 

not going to go away so we have 

to work around it without more 

people losing jobs.”

Work starts 

to remove 

pontoons 

WORK HAS started to remove 

damaged pontoons that have been 

stored at Naval Point. 

The city council was contacted 

by a member of the public in November 

2019 about the pontoons 

and has been working to find 

a permanent solution for their 

disposal. 

The damaged pontoons are being 

broken down and three of the 

four components recycled. 

A contractor began removing 

the pontoons on Monday, 

with work expected to take 

three months depending on the 

weather. 

Head of parks Andrew Rutledge 

says it has been important to find 

a cost-effective way to remove the 

pontoons in order to improve the 

surrounding Naval Point environment. 

“We’ve worked with Lyttelton 

Port Company to contain the secure 

the pontoons until a suitable 

option for removal was found. 

“Taking the pontoons away will 

improve the overall look of the 

area.” 

The pontoons, which are made 

of polystyrene, wood and steel 

encased in concrete, came from 

the Magazine Bay Marina, which 

was damaged by a storm in 2000.

Affectionately known as 

“Frosty,” the former station officer 

announced his retirement 

this year, and his efforts were 

recognised with a long service 

and good conduct award for the 

Governors Bay Fire Brigade. 

Serving his community every 

day was an aspect of the job he 

was going to miss. 

“It’s an honour to receive that 

award, it’s been very enjoyable, 

but I do have mixed feelings 

as it’s the end of 15 years as an 

operational officer,” he said. 

“But on the other side of it, 

there comes a time where you 

step down, and I thought now 

was my time. 

“A couple of days after I 

resigned the siren went off. It felt 

strange not rushing off to my car 

and not going to the call.” 

Frost began his journey as a 

rural firefighter with the Governors 

Bay Volunteer Rural Fire 

Force in February 2005. 

In July of the same year, he 

transferred to the NZ Fire Service 

and progressed through the ranks 

to become a station officer in 2017. 

END OF AN ERA: Governors Bay Fire Brigade station 

officer Ken Frost has been presented with medals 

recognising his service. 

He started volunteering when 

he met fellow brigade members 

at a local hotel who encouraged 

him to join the service and participate 

in training. 

In spite of “not being one of 

the younger lads,” he completed 

his recruits course in his early 

50s, followed by the officer’s 

practical course in his 60s. 

“I was the principal corrections 

officer at Christchurch 

Men’s Prison for 18 years, and 

I felt that the two seemed to go 

hand in hand,” he said. 

Frost was grateful for the level 

of support and camaraderie between 

brigade members during 

the toughest of times. 

He described his service 

during the September 4, 2010, 

and February 22, 2011, earthquakes, 

Port Hills fires and now 

Covid-19 as the most rewarding 

moments of his FENZ career. 

However, the toughest parts 

were attending the “carnage” 

at motor vehicle accidents, 

especially if they were fatal, or 

“purple calls,” which entailed 

incidents such as suicides. 

“It was rewarding to help people 

in their hour of need providing 

technical expertise and liaising 

with the public,” said Frost. 

“FENZ has a good support 

system in place, but it never gets 

easier. Unfortunately, I’ve attended 

quite a few fatal accidents 

and purple calls – they’re the 

hardest and I used to dread going 

to those.” 

His biggest supporter, though, 

was his wife Kathie, who was 

known for her scones and would 

often be the one to wake him up 

at night and start the car if the 

siren went off. 

Said Frost: “She’s been 

amazing, she’s supported me 

throughout my whole time in 

the brigade. If it wasn’t for her, I 

wouldn’t have made two-thirds 

of the calls.” 

He was looking forward to 

spending more time with his 

wife, playing “a bit of golf,” and 

to travel around the country. 

“I will miss it – it’s been a huge 

part of my life.”
