Meeting to discuss<br />
rising sea levels<br />
PEOPLE LIVING in the<br />
Lyttelton and Mt Herbert areas<br />
will be the first to be consulted<br />
on over the impact of rising sea<br />
levels.<br />
The city council has agreed<br />
to start adaptation planning<br />
with low-lying<br />
coastal and<br />
inland communities<br />
likely to<br />
be impacted by<br />
rising sea levels.<br />
A meeting<br />
will be held<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
on Monday,<br />
6-7.30pm, Allandale<br />
Hall,<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
Said urban development and<br />
transport committee chairman<br />
Mike Davidson: “We have a big<br />
coastline and a lot of low-lying<br />
land, so one of the most significant<br />
challenges facing us is how<br />
do we respond to the coastal<br />
hazards caused by climate<br />
change and sea level rise.<br />
“First up, it’s important we<br />
have a city-wide conversation<br />
about the adaptation planning<br />
process as there are implications<br />
for all residents, not just people<br />
CONSULTATION: The city council will be talking to<br />
communities likely to be impacted by rising sea levels.<br />
living in coastal and low-lying<br />
communities. We have some big<br />
decisions ahead of us that will<br />
likely have an impact not just on<br />
this generation, but on generations<br />
to come.<br />
“We then need to work closely<br />
with our first tranche of communities,<br />
to develop an adaptation<br />
plan together.<br />
“The adaptation planning<br />
programme that we have<br />

formally endorsed today is<br />
based on the Ministry for the<br />
Environment’s guidance and<br />
puts community engagement<br />
at the centre of our decisionmaking.”<br />
The city council sessions will<br />
give interested residents across<br />
the district an opportunity to<br />
learn more about the coastal<br />
hazards adaptation planning<br />
programme.<br />
Spirit of Enderby first<br />
to use new berth<br />
LYTTELTON’S new $67<br />
million cruise ship berth<br />
was meant to be vessel<br />
empty for a while – until<br />
Spirit of Enderby arrived<br />
on Monday.<br />
The Christchurchbased<br />
Heritage Expeditions<br />
flagship has claimed<br />
the honour of being the<br />
first cruise ship to berth at<br />
the new facility.<br />
The berth will be officially<br />
opened next Wednesday.<br />
Covid-19 will mean cruise<br />
ships arriving in Lyttelton will be<br />
scare, if non-existent, until the<br />
pandemic is over.<br />
But the Spirit of Enderby was<br />
a welcome insight of what is to<br />
come.<br />
Lyttelton Port Company<br />
engagement and sustainability<br />
general manager Phil de Joux<br />
said he was not expecting the<br />
berth would be used by a cruise<br />
ship so soon.<br />
The port was also busy at the<br />
moment so having the new berth<br />
was helping ease congestion.<br />
“We’ve been looking at other<br />
uses for it … a Korean Antarctic<br />
research ship will be using it<br />
next week but at the moment we<br />
actually have quite a bit of berth<br />
HONOUR: The Spirit of Enderby was<br />
the first ship to use Lyttelton’s new<br />
cruise liner berth.<br />
congestion in our inner harbour,<br />
so it will be good,” said de Joux.<br />
De Joux said that in spite of the<br />
dampener Covid-19 had put on<br />
the cruise industry, he was proud<br />
his team was able to finish the<br />
berth on time and on budget.<br />
“We are nearly at the end of five<br />
years of reconstruction now following<br />
the earthquakes. It is the<br />
end of an era and it is a great asset<br />
for the future.”<br />
The Spirit of Enderby sailed<br />
directly from Vladivostok in<br />
eastern Russia and the crew have<br />
been in isolation for 44 days.<br />
Russian crew members received<br />
another Covid-19 test on Monday<br />
morning and have to remain on<br />
the ship for now.<br />
The 50-passenger ship will sail<br />
to Invercargill to pick up its first<br />
passengers on <strong>November</strong> 24 for a<br />
Kiwi-only cruise.<br />
