Drink driving: How the numbers<br />
stack up in eastern suburbs<br />
Breath<br />
and blood alcohol<br />
offences by police station<br />
between 20<strong>17</strong> and 2019<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
POLICE CHARGED 658 people<br />
with drink driving offences in<br />
the eastern suburbs between<br />
20<strong>17</strong> and 2019.<br />
An Official Information Act<br />
request by <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> has<br />
revealed out of eight areas in<br />
Christchurch and Banks Peninsula,<br />
the New Brighton Police<br />
Station coverage area sits fourth<br />
on the list of areas where the<br />
most people have been charged<br />
for being over the legal breath<br />
and blood alcohol limits in this<br />
time period.<br />
Christchurch central is first<br />
on this list, with officers there<br />
charging 1993 drivers with such<br />
offences, Papanui is second with<br />
915 and south Christchurch sits<br />
third with 675.<br />
The legal breath alcohol limit<br />
in New Zealand is 250mcg/l.<br />
The highest breath alcohol<br />
readings recorded between 20<strong>17</strong><br />
and 2019 in the New Brighton<br />
area were 1469mcg/l in 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />
1469mcg/l and 1304mcg/l in<br />
2018.<br />
There were 4812 excess breath<br />
and blood alcohol offences in<br />
Christchurch between 20<strong>17</strong> and<br />
2019.<br />
The number of drink driving<br />
offences decreased over this<br />
three year period. There were<br />
<strong>17</strong>42 offences in 20<strong>17</strong>, 1539<br />

CHECKPOINT: Statistics have revealed which areas of Christchurch the most drink<br />
drivers were caught between 20<strong>17</strong> and 2019.<br />
offences in 2018 and 1531 in<br />
2019.<br />
Canterbury road policing<br />
manager Inspector Greg Cottam<br />
said these statistics are promising<br />
but any drink driving at all<br />
is too much.<br />

back to the fact that any drink<br />
driving is one too many and the<br />
potential for serious harm for<br />
other road users is unacceptable.<br />
We have a no-tolerance policy<br />
for alcohol and one is one too<br />
many.”<br />
Meanwhile, in July a police<br />
clampdown on drink driving<br />
saw them stop and breath test<br />
14042 Canterbury motorists.<br />
Of these, 68 were over the legal<br />
breath alcohol limit.<br />
They trialled micro-checkpoints<br />
as part of this, which<br />
require as few as one police car<br />
and officer to set up and carry<br />
out.<br />

Vandals hit gym<br />
• By Matt Slaughter<br />
VANDALS have been<br />
targeting the old<br />
Christchurch School of<br />
Gymnastics building in<br />
North New Brighton.<br />
Sergeant Jim Currie said in<br />
the last few weeks police have<br />
received reports of windows<br />
of the building on Travis Rd<br />
being broken and graffiti<br />
being drawn on it. Investigations<br />
are taking place into<br />
this.<br />
Said Currie: “We’ve been<br />
having a few issues around<br />
the old school of gymnastics<br />
at QEII [Park]. There’s been<br />
a bit of vandalism and things<br />
going on there over the last<br />
few days and weekends . . .<br />
broken windows and that<br />
sort of thing.”<br />
The building is no longer<br />
used by the school of gymnastics,<br />
which has opened<br />
a new one nearby on Mark<br />
Treffers Drive.<br />
However, Currie said the<br />
old building is used to store<br />
equipment used in New<br />
Brighton’s Santa parade and<br />
will become Santa’s grotto at<br />
Christmas time.<br />
“We want to make sure<br />
that it [the old building] is<br />
TARGET: The old Christchurch School of Gymnastics<br />
building on Travis Rd has been targeted by vandals<br />
in recent weeks. PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER<br />
nice and usable for that so<br />
that the community can<br />
benefit from that Santa’s<br />
grotto over Christmas.”<br />
The city council will start<br />
a 12-month trial soon to<br />
map and track graffiti using<br />
technology to help identify<br />
offenders and cut costs to<br />
ratepayers.<br />
The Smart Christchurch<br />
Graffiti Recognition trial will<br />
track graffiti activity using<br />
data from the public and<br />
contractors to help<br />
curb building damage and<br />
identify repeat offenders to<br />
police.<br />
Wait for palm tree<br />
solution continues<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
THE WAIT goes on for a resolution<br />
to be reached for a potentially<br />
precariously placed palm tree.<br />
There have been concerns about the<br />
Palm Tree in the roundabout at the<br />
intersection of Laguna Gardens and<br />
Palm Dr for about six years.<br />
The Palm Tree is situated within a<br />
planter box which has cracks along<br />
the side of it. City council staff believe<br />
this is likely to be caused by the<br />
growth of the roots.<br />
The Papanui-Innes Community<br />
Board requested the city council<br />
rebuild the planter box the palm tree<br />
sits within. This would cost about<br />
$40,000.<br />
However, the city council decided<br />
to defer the decision to its urban development<br />
and transport committee<br />
to assess what the best way forward<br />
for the tree was.<br />
Said community board chairwoman<br />
Emma Norrish: “I guess it is a bit<br />
frustrating that it did get handed over<br />
to that committee, but if something<br />
happens from it, that would certainly<br />
be a positive. The sooner the better.”<br />
Other options in resolving the<br />
long-standing issue are to repair the<br />
existing planter boxes costing $9000,<br />
replacing the planter wall with a concrete<br />
wall costing $28,000 or removal<br />
TREE TROUBLE: There are<br />
concerns about cracks in the<br />
planter box for the palm tree<br />
situated at the intersection of<br />
Palm Dr and Laguna Gardens.<br />
of the palm and planter box which<br />
would amount to a cost of $38,000.<br />
Another option was to remove<br />
planter box and palm and replant the<br />
tree to ground level. However, council<br />
officials said this option should not be<br />
pursued as it would compromise the<br />
structural integrity of the tree.<br />

Refresh for Art-omat<br />
Poto<br />
Williams<br />
for Christchurch East<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
NOT ONLY has New<br />
Brighton’s Art-omat found a<br />
new home, but the tiny hut<br />
will also soon be getting a<br />
facelift.<br />
The city council’s Enliven<br />
Places Programme awarded<br />
custodianship of the Art-omat<br />
to organisation Life in Vacant<br />
Spaces, who work with landowners<br />
and project partners<br />
to bring life back into empty<br />
spaces across the city.<br />
The Art-omat has now<br />
shifted to 101 Brighton Mall<br />
and was originally opened as<br />
a mini art gallery, where local<br />
artists could display their work<br />
for purchase, making art more<br />
accessible in a creative way.<br />
Said LiVS director Rachael<br />
Shiels: “We’re really excited<br />
to have the opportunity to<br />
activate this space for the local<br />
New Brighton community. It’s<br />
nice to see it being refreshed.”<br />
The Art-omat was one of<br />
five tiny huts installed by the<br />
city council in a bid to liven up<br />
New Brighton’s public spaces<br />
– each a play on the iconic<br />
English seaside beach hut.<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
A SCHEME to provide<br />
computers to community<br />
organisations in need across<br />
the city has proven popular,<br />
with digital needs increasing<br />
due to Covid-19.<br />
The city council’s Computers<br />
to the Community Scheme<br />
offers computers for free to<br />
not-for-profit groups to help<br />
them deliver services more<br />
efficiently.<br />
Excluding the lockdown, between<br />
July 2019 and June this<br />
year, 220 laptops and desktops<br />
were distributed to organisations,<br />
such as St Luke’s Samoan<br />
Church, the Wainoni<br />
Avonside Community Services<br />
Trust and the New Brighton<br />
NEW BEGINNINGS: Rachael Shiels, director of Life in<br />
Vacant Spaces, who have some new ideas up their<br />
sleeves for the New Brighton Art-omat.<br />
Other huts included a mini<br />
marae, a shell chapel and a<br />
unique viewing point of New<br />
Brighton Beach.<br />
Now that the Art-omat was<br />
under the management of<br />
LiVS, Shiels said that its use<br />
was up to the community to<br />
decide, but the organisation<br />
was on hand to provide funding<br />
and extra support to get<br />
projects off the ground.<br />
Their initial idea for the hut<br />
was to use it as another exhibition<br />
space to honour the original<br />
designers, but that could<br />
change depending on what the<br />
community wanted to see.<br />
Among those expressing<br />
interest was the New Brighton<br />
Art Gallery, but the organisation<br />
was seeking more ideas,<br />
Community Gardens.<br />
Charity Kilmarnock<br />
Enterprises employs people<br />
with intellectual disabilities to<br />
provide outsourcing solutions<br />
for businesses, such as packaging<br />
or refurbishing needs and<br />
received four desktops and<br />
laptops.<br />
Said chief executive Michael<br />
Toothill: “We haven’t had the<br />
budget to purchase new ones<br />
ourselves, and we needed to<br />
find an alternative way to save<br />
costs.<br />
“We started to sell ecofriendly<br />
cleaning products and<br />
needed equipment to run the<br />
dispatch side of things. We had<br />
a gap to fill in business because<br />
we refurbished headsets for<br />
Air New Zealand’s international<br />
flights, but that’s gone<br />
on hold.<br />
“Directly for us, it ensures<br />
we can retain jobs and has<br />
been a huge benefit to our<br />
employees.”<br />
In the past few months, the<br />
city council noted an increase<br />
in requests from groups<br />
working with multi-cultural<br />
communities and have allocated<br />
about 50 computers to<br />
organisations with a variety of<br />
cultural backgrounds.<br />
City council head of community<br />
support, governance<br />
and partnerships John Filsell<br />
said the cost associated with<br />
purchasing the technology was<br />
often a barrier.<br />
Said Filsell: “Covid-19 highlighted<br />
the need and use of<br />
such as a potential space for<br />
live performances.<br />
“We’re excited to hear people’s<br />
ideas for this space. Our<br />
intention is to change things<br />
up every four to eight weeks to<br />
keep it fresh,” she said.<br />
“Art is so subjective and you<br />
can’t make everyone happy, so<br />
we’ll keep changing things up<br />
the explore other ideas.”<br />
The new Art-omat is anticipated<br />
to benefit the New<br />
Brighton community by enabling<br />
ongoing use of the hub<br />
and celebrated the local arts.<br />
“Vacant spaces can be a<br />
real eyesore and can attract<br />
vandalism. The changes show<br />
interest and freshness in the<br />
area and that it’s being cared<br />
for, loved and utilised.”<br />
LiVS will manage the site for<br />
one year and may continuing<br />
doing so beyond that, depending<br />
on this year’s success.<br />
In addition to the Art-omat,<br />
they managed the East x East<br />
project in the Red Zone – a<br />
space filled with temporary<br />
art, clubs and events to utilise<br />
the area while plans for future<br />
plans and development for the<br />
space are completed.<br />
Addressing increasing digital needs<br />
oN sAle Now!<br />
technology to feel connected,<br />
to keep in touch with friends<br />
and family both overseas and<br />
within New Zealand to get<br />
information, continuing education<br />
and support the ability<br />
to continue to work.<br />
“Some groups have<br />
made the computers available<br />
to those who do not have<br />
them, or used them to<br />
provide information and<br />
support to their communities<br />
by building up an electronic<br />
network.’’<br />
Meeting demand was not<br />
a major issue but at times<br />
the city council experienced<br />
a higher demand which<br />
meant some groups had to<br />
wait longer to receive their<br />
computers.<br />
To the people of<br />
Christchurch East<br />
Thank you for being part<br />
of the great team that<br />

• Wage subsidy to support<br />
workers and businesses.<br />
• Free trades training for new<br />
jobs – for people of all ages.<br />
• Creating jobs by building<br />
8000 new public homes.<br />
• Interest-free loans for<br />
businesses<br />
• Record increase in health<br />
funding<br />
• Doubled Winter Energy<br />
Payment for <strong>2020</strong><br />
• Permanently increased<br />
benefits.<br />
Throughout the crisis,<br />
Jacinda urged us to be kind<br />
to one another. Let’s build<br />
kindness into all parts of life<br />
to build a better, fairer<br />
New Zealand.<br />

Foodbank adapts to<br />
meet pandemic demands<br />
Myriad groups help<br />
keep our community<br />
moving. Reporter<br />
Bea Gooding<br />
speaks to Foodbank<br />
Canterbury cofounders<br />
John and<br />
Janice Milligan about<br />
how the charity<br />
has adapted to<br />
support vulnerable<br />
Cantabrians<br />
Could you tell me a bit<br />
about what Foodbank<br />
Canterbury does?<br />
Foodbank Canterbury<br />
is a secular, independent<br />
non-faith based, nonpolitically<br />
aligned, nonactivist<br />
controlled food<br />
rescue organisation with a<br />
singular mission in mind –<br />
to fight hunger, feed hope<br />
and reduce food waste.<br />
Under “normal”<br />
times, FBC rescues two<br />
tonnes of food per day<br />
which resources over<br />
5800 meals daily for the<br />
vulnerable and at-risk in<br />
the Canterbury, South<br />
Canterbury and West<br />
Coast regions.<br />
We are a 100 per cent<br />
not-for-profit organisation<br />
dealing with over 135<br />
agencies throughout<br />
Christchurch alone –<br />
everyone from The City<br />
Mission, St Vinnies, the<br />
maraes and other iwi<br />
organisations, Pasifika<br />
groups, Women’s Refuges,<br />
Community Centres and<br />
food pantries, school<br />
districts etc.<br />
What kind of impact<br />
does your charity have<br />
on the environment and<br />
vulnerable Cantabrians?<br />
Collecting and<br />
distributing nearly 1.8<br />
million meals worth of<br />
food each year through<br />
a network of partner<br />
programs gives us a stark<br />
understanding of the<br />
everyday realities of food<br />
insecurity.<br />
On a per-volume basis,<br />
FBC is the largest food<br />
relief organisation in the<br />
South Island, operating<br />
on a scale that makes it<br />
crucial to the work of the<br />
front-line charities who are<br />
feeding vulnerable New<br />
Zealanders.<br />
FBC provides more<br />
than 70 per cent of the<br />
food rescued for food<br />
relief organisations South<br />
Island-wide.<br />
Our volunteers are vital<br />
to our success and have<br />
contributed some 65,000<br />
hours of their time in the<br />
last twelve months. To<br />
us, that’s worth over $1.6<br />
million.<br />
Foodbank represents<br />
a ‘triple-win’ for<br />
SURGE: Co-founder and general manager Janice<br />
Milligan, of Foodbank Canterbury, where demand<br />
has increased 106 per cent since the beginning<br />
of this year.<br />
our communities –<br />
reducing food wastage<br />
and protecting the<br />
environment; providing<br />
food relief to hungry and<br />
vulnerable people; and<br />
strengthening our society<br />
through collaboration<br />
with local charities and<br />
volunteerism.<br />
What issues are the<br />
charity currently facing<br />
in the wake of Covid-19?<br />
In the current<br />
Covid-19 situation,<br />
we are processing and<br />
redistributing just on 100<br />
tonnes of food product<br />
monthly – resourcing<br />
around 9,000 meals per<br />
day. That is an increase<br />
of 106 per cent since the<br />
beginning of <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
We are under no<br />
illusions about the<br />
challenge we are<br />
embracing. The current<br />
pandemic situation has<br />
made us at FBC realise this<br />
even more. Feeding the<br />
hungry is<br />
paramount. We are<br />
feeding people who have<br />
never put their hand up in<br />
need before, and the scary<br />
thing is that we do not<br />
know where we are going.<br />
There is no template.<br />
In spite of our suppliers<br />
– the supermarkets,<br />
manufacturers,<br />
distributors, growers<br />
and farmers being very<br />
supportive, FBC is still<br />
having to raise funding to<br />
buy-in staple food<br />
products to supplement<br />
what we distribute.<br />
We are also concerned<br />
that our rural areas are not<br />
being served and we plan<br />
to resolve this as soon as<br />
funding is available.<br />
We have seen over the<br />
past months, an explosion<br />
of altruism and cooperation.<br />
Now we need to<br />
move forward in not just<br />
a spirit of collaboration,<br />
but in a realistic act of<br />
collaboration to simply<br />
achieve.<br />
At FBC our byline is<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN <br />
“fighting hunger – feeding<br />
Hope.”<br />
It is this hope that impels<br />
us to act.<br />
How has the charity<br />
adapted to these changes<br />
caused by the pandemic?<br />
In order to fill the gaps<br />
in demand left by the more<br />
tradition food pantries<br />
serving individuals, FBC<br />
is introducing the Hunger<br />
Action Team programme<br />
in NZ.<br />
By introducing HATs<br />
Foodbank Aotearoa New<br />
Zealand/Canterbury, it<br />
changes what it means to<br />
be a food bank. This is an<br />
innovation driven by the<br />
current environment.<br />
HATs are groups<br />
of individuals and<br />
organisations working<br />
in collaboration to solve<br />
hunger in a designated<br />
community. They are<br />
coalitions that bring<br />
people from across a<br />
community together to<br />
develop local solutions to<br />
hunger, supplying 10 day,<br />
two-week family packages<br />
of nutritious food to<br />
vulnerable whanau.<br />
Starting in Christchurch<br />
with initial collaboration<br />
with FBC, He Waka<br />
Tapu and Rotary<br />
International, HATs will<br />
be working in towns and<br />
neighbourhoods across the<br />
region – leveraging local<br />
resources and relationships<br />
to raise awareness about<br />
hunger, connect services to<br />
make it easier for people to<br />
get help, and launch new<br />
initiatives that strengthen<br />
each community’s capacity<br />
to meet local needs.<br />
This comprehensive<br />
solution to hunger requires<br />
seeking out new avenues of<br />
collaboration to create the<br />
greatest possible impact.<br />
Currently, our social<br />
media brings in around 15<br />
contacts per day up from<br />
maybe 8 per month pre-<br />
Covid-19. He Waka Tapu<br />
is experiencing an even<br />
greater level.<br />
FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />
Natural support<br />
for healthy joints<br />
Joint issues will affect most of us at some<br />
time. They can show up in any joint such<br />
as in your neck, back, shoulders, elbows,<br />
wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles and feet.<br />
Cartilage is the protective surfaces<br />
between moving bones that allows them<br />
to move freely. It is constantly worn away<br />
and needs to be rebuilt on a constant<br />
basis. This repair process slows down for<br />
most of us as we age. The result is not<br />
enough cartilage in some joints causing<br />
the joint function to be less smooth. This<br />
is the most common form of arthritis,<br />
called osteoarthritis, and it leads to<br />
inflammation, pain, stiffness and reduced<br />
mobility of the joint.<br />
Joint pain can also be a factor in falls.<br />
Generally joints with the most use or stress<br />
show problems first.<br />
Many people seek pain relief from<br />
their doctor. The usual prescription is<br />
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs,<br />
or NSAIDs, which offer pain relief but<br />
do nothing to stop the progression of the<br />
arthritis.<br />
According to the British Journal<br />
of General Practice, NSAIDs are not<br />
recommended for long term use and are<br />
responsible for 30% of hospital admissions,<br />
mainly due to internal bleeding, heart<br />
attack, stroke and renal damage. Research<br />
shows all NSAIDs double the risk of<br />
hospitalization due to heart failure.<br />
Supporting the body with the right<br />
- WE ARE ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! -<br />
supplementary nutrients has been found<br />
to be highly beneficial in supporting joint<br />
health for many people.<br />
A local Christchurch company, Kiwi<br />
Natural Health or KNH, has produced an<br />
advanced, high-potency formula called<br />
“Joint Care Plus” to support healthy joint<br />
function.<br />
Inflammation of joints can cause<br />
pain and slows the healing process.<br />
Joint Care Plus contains turmeric,<br />
ginger and black pepper to help reduce<br />
inflammation and pain, and enhance<br />
digestion and absorption of its nutrients.<br />
The formula also contains nutrients that<br />
have been researched to support joint<br />
health, including boron, selenium, zinc,<br />
manganese, proline and MSM, as well<br />
as the highly researched glucosamine<br />
sulfate potassium chloride complex, and<br />
chondroitin sulfate.<br />
This comprehensive formula is in<br />
an easy to swallow capsule. Due to the<br />
amount of nutrients in the formula it<br />
is recommended to take two or three<br />
capsules once daily to achieve a necessary<br />
amount of each nutrient. In severe cases a<br />
loading dose of three capsules twice daily<br />
may be used.<br />
KNH JOINT CARE PLUS and further<br />
information is available from the natural<br />
health advisers, medical herbalists<br />
and naturopath at Marshall’s Health &<br />
Natural Therapy.<br />
ADVANCED NATURAL<br />
NUTRITION<br />
FOR HEALTHY<br />
JOINTS<br />
Are your joints painful, stiff, noisy, swollen or<br />
inflamed? This is often caused by a lack of<br />
cartilage, the soft spongy material in all joints<br />
between the moving bones. Sufficient cartilage<br />
allows the joints to move freely. KNH JOINT<br />
CARE PLUS contains a comprehensive formula<br />
of nutrients known to support the body maintain<br />
& replace cartilage & connective tissue as well<br />
as reduce inflammation & pain. The high potency<br />
formula is in easy to swallow capsules with<br />
advanced absorption technology for faster results.<br />
KNH JOINT CARE PLUS SUPPORTS:<br />
- Cartilage, ligaments & connective tissue regeneration<br />
- Inflammation & swelling relief<br />
- Pain relief<br />
- Joint flexibility<br />
- Healthy joint function<br />

East’s well-being<br />
a focus for board<br />
COMMUNITY wellbeing<br />
is top of mind on a<br />
plan that will also focus<br />
on improving roads and<br />
footpaths, and protecting<br />
and maintaining<br />
biodiversity and recreation.<br />
The Linwood-Central-<br />
Heathcote Community<br />
Board’s priorities plan for<br />
<strong>2020</strong>-22 outlines a raft of<br />
ideas to tidy and improve<br />
the inner city east suburbs.<br />
Communities in the<br />
south-east have been<br />
without a swimming pool<br />
since the Woolston Pool<br />
closed in 2009, but this<br />
will change when Te Pou<br />
Toetoe is finished.<br />
It sits alongside Linwood<br />
Park, and the board wants<br />
both developed as a coherent<br />
whole, especially when it<br />
comes to parking. It wants<br />
an integrated plan for the<br />
park, and better connection<br />
with Linwood College.<br />
The board says it<br />
will advocate for the<br />
continuation of a<br />
Phillipstown Community<br />
Hub, and for Lancaster<br />
Park to be developed<br />
alongside the community.<br />
Broken and damaged<br />
footpaths were affecting<br />
people with mobility<br />
issues, the elderly, and<br />
people using wheelchairs<br />
and pushchairs. The<br />
board would push to get<br />
things fixed in response to<br />
community concern, and<br />
for discretionary funding<br />
to make it happen.<br />
It is also keen to “green<br />
the concrete jungle”<br />
by identifying suitable<br />
locations for street-planting<br />
on berms and traffic<br />
islands, and to activate the<br />
Greening the East Working<br />
Party to develop a spatial<br />
plan for the area.<br />
Funds would be sought<br />
to make this a pilot project,<br />
to develop the plan, and to<br />
provide for work and land<br />
purchases.<br />
Light industrial<br />
growth made Bromley<br />
a busier place, and the<br />
board wants the local<br />
traffic management plan<br />
reviewed ahead of a plan<br />
to deal with current issues.<br />
It is keen for speeds to<br />
drop and for heavy traffic<br />
to be diverted on to nonresidential<br />
roads.<br />
It notes some years<br />
have passed since the<br />
initial development of the<br />
suburban centres Master<br />
Plans for Linwood Village,<br />
Sumner Village, Ferry Rd<br />
and Main Rd. These may<br />
need to be updated.<br />
The board wants the<br />
amenity and ecology of<br />
the Heathcote River to<br />
improve. It has significant<br />
pollution issues, and<br />
the raft of projects<br />
seeking to improve its<br />
amenity sometimes seem<br />
uncoordinated.<br />
Climate change will<br />
force changes on the area<br />
as, over time, it deals with<br />
sea level rise and coastal<br />
inundation.<br />
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust,<br />
a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />
most important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird<br />
found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the<br />
values and uniqueness of the area.<br />
Hungry oystercatcher<br />
eats night and day<br />
DECLINING: The black oystercatcher eats day and<br />
night and can be seen on the mudflats looking<br />
for cockles, crabs and marine worms.<br />
THE BLACK oystercatcher<br />
or toreapango with its<br />
bright orange bill, red<br />
eye and orange eye ring<br />
is the “cousin’ of the pied<br />
oystercatcher, which are<br />
black and white. They<br />
are only found in New<br />
Zealand, adding to the<br />
importance of a healthy<br />
estuary to ensure their<br />
survival.<br />
Like its cousin, this everhungry<br />
bird, eats day and<br />
night and can be seen on<br />
the mudflats busily ‘jogging<br />
to and fro’ looking for<br />
cockles, crabs and marine<br />
worms.<br />
Having adapted<br />
somewhat to our urban<br />
environment it also feeds<br />
on earthworms and grubs<br />
in the Linwood Paddocks<br />
and the McCormacks Bay<br />
sport field.<br />
They like their nest<br />
simple; making a small<br />
indent in dirt, dunes or<br />
on the beach among a few<br />
sticks or a little vegetation.<br />
This method makes eggs<br />
and chicks extremely easy<br />
victims from human activities<br />
such as walkers, fourwheel-drive<br />
vehicles and<br />
motor-cycles. They will try<br />
to defend their nest fiercely<br />
though, so if you see a pair<br />
of black oystercatchers<br />
running around erratically<br />
or even flying up in the air<br />
just above you making a<br />
lot of noise, then know that<br />
they are protecting eggs<br />
or chicks – so please, walk<br />
away and stay well clear of<br />
them.<br />
Last year just over 130<br />
of these birds have been<br />
counted in and around our<br />
estuary which, like with<br />
PHOTO: BRIAN BETTS <br />
many other bird species in<br />
and around our estuary, is<br />
a vast number of the entire<br />
world population.<br />
Sadly, numbers are declining,<br />
so how can we help<br />
these birds thrive? Keep<br />
dogs on the lead when<br />
walking near the estuary as<br />
to not disturb them while<br />
feeding or resting.<br />
Do not gather shellfish<br />
from the mudflats as we<br />
need to ensure large numbers<br />
of cockles are present<br />
for the birds.<br />
Gathering also disturbs<br />
the birds from feeding.

City councillors James Gough,<br />
Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />

asking her to lead a conversation<br />
as to how a zero per cent rates<br />
increase could be achieved this<br />
year.<br />

an average rates increase of 4.65<br />
per cent across all ratepayers in<br />

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
