Calls for plan to manage tourism<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
CALLS HAVE been made for a<br />
plan to manage the impacts of<br />
tourism on the Banks Peninsula.<br />
The Banks Peninsula Community<br />
Board has called for a<br />
destination management plan to<br />
be developed. It believes the plan<br />
is needed in order to address<br />
current and future<br />
economic,<br />
social and<br />
environmental<br />
issues posed by<br />
tourism.<br />
The board has<br />
Tori Peden<br />
called for the<br />
plan to focus<br />
on cruise ship<br />
management, freedom camping,<br />
infrastructure demands while<br />
looking at how many and what<br />
type of visitors provide the best<br />
value for the community.<br />
The Ministry of Business,<br />
Innovation and Employment<br />
outlines destination management<br />
as the “management of all<br />
aspects of a destination<br />
that contribute to a visitor’s<br />
experience,” bringing together<br />
various stakeholders to achieve<br />
sustainable tourism.<br />
Development of such a plan<br />
revolves around the perspectives,<br />
needs and expectations of not<br />
only visitors but also local iwi,<br />
ACTION NEEDED: The Banks Peninsula Community Board has called for the<br />
development of a destination management plan for the Banks Peninsula.<br />
the tourism industry, businesses,<br />
residents as well as central and<br />
local government.<br />
MBIE states that adopting a<br />
development management plan<br />
can enable areas to respond to<br />
changing conditions and determine<br />
the type of tourism that is<br />
most beneficial to all sectors of<br />
the community.<br />
Community board chairwoman<br />
Tori Peden said the development<br />
of the plan would require<br />
a multi-agency approach and<br />
significant community input.<br />
“Perhaps there is an<br />
Environment Canterbury aspect<br />
of it and also a Department of<br />
Conservation and Ngai Tahu<br />
involvement. It is a big project<br />
and we can’t do it alone, that’s<br />
why we are wanting to work as a<br />
group,” she said.<br />
She thought the plan was needed<br />
now more than ever under the<br />
current Covid-19 circumstances.<br />
“Going forward we are<br />
not going to have as many<br />
international tourists as usual<br />
over the next year or two,<br />
however, we think this is the best<br />
time to be proactive rather than<br />
reactive.”<br />
She said the board would be<br />
advocating for funding to be<br />
allocated towards the initiation<br />
of the project from the city<br />
council’s Long Term Plan<br />
budget.<br />
Pair have<br />
held several<br />
national titles<br />

The 49-year-old started his<br />
preparations last December and<br />
ramped up training with threehour<br />
sessions on the treadmill<br />
during the Covid-19 level four<br />
lockdown before hitting the gym.<br />
“It’s been great for the health,<br />
I’ve dropped from 115kg down to<br />
87kg,” he said, noting his opponent<br />
has also worked into fighting<br />
shape.<br />
“Danny was 108kg and now he’s<br />
down to 92kg,” Calvert said.<br />
The pair have held several<br />
national titles while Calvert<br />
and Masterson also took<br />
ownership of the Jameson Belt<br />
for New Zealand’s most scientific<br />
senior boxer in 1992 and 1993<br />
respectively.<br />
Calvert fought for New Zealand<br />
at the Oceania championships in<br />
Auckland in 1989 with Masterson<br />
and was confident he was still<br />
equipped with his necessary<br />
pugilistic skills to last six 2min<br />
rounds, at the most.<br />
“It’s slowly coming back. It’s<br />
still there, I’m just a bit slower<br />
than I used to be. Hopefully, I’ll<br />
finish him in the second or third,”<br />
he said.<br />
