Time to party for rest home residents<br />
Richard and Beverley Kane were among the Edith Cavell Lifecare and Village residents who celebrated<br />
Christmas together with their families on last week. The event was made extra special by a visit<br />
from 38 Sumner School pupils who sang Christmas carols and handed out hand-made cards to the<br />
residents who gave them ice cream. Said manager Scott Wallace: “I had a giggle to myself when I<br />
overheard one of the children comment to another: ‘See, I told you they’d give us something’.”<br />

New<br />
route for<br />
cycleway<br />
to protect<br />
estuary<br />
edge<br />
A CYCLE connection between<br />
Linwood Ave and the Ferrymead<br />
Bridge will follow a new route.<br />
The city council’s urban<br />
development and transport<br />
committee has decided to alter<br />
the route of the Rapanui – Shag<br />
Rock Cycleway has been made to<br />
minimise the environmental<br />
impacts<br />
of the cycleway on<br />
the estuary edge.<br />
The cycleway<br />
will now<br />
travel through<br />
Charlesworth Reserve<br />
rather than<br />
going around the<br />
Mike<br />
Davidson<br />
estuary on Humphreys Drive.<br />
The existing cycle lanes on<br />
Humphreys Drive will also be improved<br />
to provide an alternative<br />
route for people who want to cycle<br />
along the road.<br />
Said committee chairman<br />
Mike Davidson.“With the final<br />
stage of the Rapanui – Shag Rock<br />
Cycleway and the last stage of the<br />
Christchurch Coastal Pathway<br />
getting under way next year we<br />
will soon have a cycle path all the<br />
way from the central city to<br />
Sumner. • Turn to page 3<br />
We’d like to wish you a Merry<br />
Christmas and Happy New Year!<br />

topping up the supply from the<br />

Akaroa’s cumulative rainfall<br />
this year is the lowest it has<br />
been in a decade, putting extra<br />
pressure on the town’s water<br />
supply which it shares with<br />
Takamatua. Its current total<br />

– about half the 10-year average<br />

Rapanui – Shag Rock Cycleway<br />
will get under way early next<br />
year, starting along Humphreys<br />
Drive between Dyers Rd and the<br />
Charlesworth Reserve Bridge.<br />
Work on this section involves<br />
planting 3000 new plants that<br />
will help with the health of the<br />
Linwood Canal and support the<br />
local inanga species.<br />
Construction of the section<br />
of the cycleway through<br />
Charlesworth Reserve will start<br />
in the middle of next year. The<br />
cycleway will follow an existing<br />
path through the reserve, which<br />
will be widened to 3m and<br />
asphalted.<br />
The cycleway will then connect<br />
back onto Humphreys<br />
Drive on the reserve side of the<br />
Ferrymead shops.<br />

Jasper the ‘purr-fect’ burglar at it again<br />
• By Devon Bolger<br />
PILES OF socks, underwear,<br />
leggings, and even a bikini have<br />
been mysteriously going missing<br />
in Sumner.<br />
But one resident has identified<br />
the thief – her cat. Mette<br />
Kristiansen says her one-andhalf-year-old<br />
cat, Jasper, has<br />
again been caught red-pawed<br />
with ill-gotten gains clutched in<br />
his claws.<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong> News reported<br />
on Jasper’s antics last Christmas<br />
but they have now become so<br />
bad Kristiansen has been busy<br />
dropping off flyers to warn her<br />
neighbours within a two-block<br />
radius about him.<br />
“We got him when he was a<br />
kitten and started doing this<br />
burglarising about Christmas last<br />
year,” she said.<br />
Jasper’s main target seems to<br />
be socks, but he had also claimed<br />
gardening and working gloves,<br />
leggings and shoes.<br />
One neighbour reported him<br />
stealing a bikini.<br />
“I have heard that he definitely<br />
does get into people’s homes. He<br />
walks down their hallway and<br />
into their bedrooms. I’ve heard<br />
tales of him going upstairs . . .<br />
even houses with dogs. He makes<br />
friends with the dogs.”<br />
Kristiansen said Jasper seemed<br />
to be “an incredibly intelligent<br />
cat.”<br />
CAUGHT: Mette Kristiansen and Harriet Kristiansen-Benge,<br />

stolen from around Sumner. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
“One day I was in my bedroom<br />
and I think he was wanting attention<br />
– he jumped up on my<br />
duchess where my drawer was<br />
open a fraction. He put his paw<br />
down, got one little claw out,<br />
picked up one of my socks and<br />
flung it on the floor. He then did<br />
it again.”<br />
Each day Jasper could steal up<br />
to five items.<br />
“He comes through our cat flap<br />
and just drops them in the hallway<br />
after his rampages around<br />
the neighbourhood overnight.<br />
Sometimes he gets a bit lazy and<br />
drops them around the garden.”<br />
Each day she puts two large<br />
bins out by her front door filled<br />
with stolen items so her neighbours<br />
could collect anything<br />
stolen.<br />
In spite of being a “wee bit<br />
worried” about the reaction from<br />
SPOTTED: Jasper has been stealing items, including this<br />
pair of shoes and gardening gloves.<br />
neighbours, Kristiansen<br />
said most people “love the<br />
story and find it extremely<br />
entertaining.”<br />
“I don’t think a lot of people<br />
realise they are missing items<br />
. . . that’s why I’m finding it really<br />
hard to return things to people,”<br />
she said.<br />
A Facebook page has also been<br />
set up. Neighbour Brooke Carroll<br />
and her three children – aged<br />
seven, five, and two – were just<br />
some of Jasper’s victims.<br />
“He will steal socks . . . he steals<br />
lots from the clothesline, he’s<br />
stolen upwards of 50 socks.”<br />
The morning after Halloween,<br />
they saw a bikini Jasper had<br />
stolen hanging on the front fence.<br />
“The kids think it is hilarious<br />
. . . they can’t find their rugby<br />
socks so we go and look in the<br />
Jasper bin.”<br />

Wheelchair prank for record-breaking runner<br />
HUMOUR: A wheelchair was on hand for distance runner<br />
Judy Brock – thanks to her brother Darryl – when she<br />
returned from her 100th marathon.<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
JUDY BROCK had a wheelchair<br />
waiting for her on the tarmac<br />
when her flight landed at<br />
Christchurch Airport.<br />
And although the gesture was<br />
tongue in cheek by her brother<br />
Darryl, the record-setting marathon<br />
runner already had talks<br />
with a surgeon booked.<br />
The 56-year-old from Mt<br />
Pleasant completed her 100th<br />
marathon – the Wanganui 3<br />
Bridges – last Saturday to be<br />
the quickest member of the 100<br />
Marathon Club New Zealand to<br />
reach the milestone.<br />
It is all but certain to be her last<br />
marathon, as a damaged left hip<br />
needs attention, or at least rest.<br />
She was due to have a chat with<br />
a surgeon this week to discuss an<br />
action plan.<br />
“I’ll ask him about doing<br />
half-marathons. I may be able to<br />
become a five or a 10k specialist,”<br />
she said.<br />
Brock clocked 6hr 3min<br />
27.82sec to be the 56th of 69 confirmed<br />
finishers in Wanganui,<br />
though the time and placing was<br />
the least of her concerns.<br />
Crossing the line was paramount,<br />
so she could eclipse regular<br />
running mate Norman Chan,<br />
who took six years, five months<br />
and eight days to bring up three<br />
figures.<br />
Brock ran her first marathon<br />
in November, 2014 – in New<br />
York – so she set the new mark<br />
comfortably, in spite of limping<br />
from the 30km mark.<br />
“It was neat because my mum<br />
(Lorraine) and my husband (Stu)<br />
came up. They held the pink<br />
ribbon at the end for me to go<br />
through,” she said.<br />
“When I got on the plane from<br />
Palmy North they made the<br />
announcement, then when I got<br />
MAMMOTH<br />
EFFORT: Mt<br />
Pleasant’s<br />
Judy Brock<br />
was booked<br />
to see a<br />
surgeon now<br />
that she has<br />
completed<br />
her final<br />
marathon.<br />
off the plane my brother, who<br />
works for Air New Zealand, he<br />
was at the bottom of the ladder<br />
with a bunch of flowers and a<br />
wheelchair as a joke.”<br />
Brock, who plans to take up<br />
lawn bowls in the New Year, had<br />
planned to post the ton in New<br />
York, but was rapt to hit the line<br />
closer to home.<br />
“It was wonderful. I got to<br />
share it with lots of neat people.<br />
It was a great end to the journey.”<br />

Event raises $8000<br />
in spite of cancellation<br />
A WOMEN’S club has<br />
raised more than $8000<br />
towards crucial research<br />
for children with bowel<br />
disease, in spite of the<br />
cancellation of their major<br />
fundraising event.<br />
The Inner Wheel Club<br />
of Riccarton was meant to<br />
host a charitable fashion<br />
parade this year, but it<br />
was cancelled twice due to<br />
Covid-19 public gathering<br />
restrictions.<br />
But they were still able<br />
to present $8300 to Cure<br />
Kids as the majority of<br />
ticket holders still decided<br />
to donate the price of their<br />
ticket anyway.<br />
Cure Kids, best known<br />
for Red Nose Day, is the<br />
country’s largest funder of<br />
child health research.<br />
The proceeds will enable<br />
the charity to take on an<br />
intern over the summer,<br />
who will be researching<br />
the safety, feasibility<br />
and satisfaction of longdistance<br />
out-patient<br />
consultations for children<br />
with inflammatory bowel<br />
disease.<br />
“We heard a mother<br />
say how not a day goes by<br />
Ferrymead<br />
when she doesn’t wish for<br />
a cure for gastrointestinal<br />
failure. That rang a bell<br />
with us all,” said Bobbity<br />
Murfitt, of the Inner<br />
Wheel Club.<br />
“So the idea of hosting<br />
a fashion showcase was<br />
born. We wanted to give<br />
love, time and fundraising<br />
to the amazing hands-on<br />
work and research of Cure<br />
Kids.”<br />
The Riccarton club is<br />
part of Inner Wheel – an<br />
international Womens’<br />
Service Club, who aim<br />
to foster true friendship,<br />
service to others, and the<br />
promotion of international<br />
understanding.<br />
The Last Truehart<br />
by Darry Fraser<br />
1898, Geelong, Victoria. Stella Truehart is all alone in the<br />
world. Her good-for-nothing husband has died violently at<br />
the hands of an unknown assailant. Her mother is dead,<br />
her father deserted them before she was born, and now her<br />
kindly Truehart grandparents are also in their graves.<br />
Private detective Bendigo Barrett has been tasked with finding<br />
Stella. He believes his client’s intentions are good, but it is evident<br />
that someone with darker motives is also seeking her. For her own<br />
part Stella is fiercely independent, but as danger mounts she agrees to<br />
work with Bendigo and before long they travel together to Sydney to meet<br />
his mysterious client where they discover more questions than answers.<br />
What role do a stolen precious jewel and a long-ago US Civil War ship<br />
play in Stella’s story? Will sudden bloodshed prevent the resolution of the<br />
mystery and stand in the way of her feelings for Bendigo? It is time, at last,<br />
for the truth to be revealed...<br />
People of Abandoned Character<br />
by Clare Whitfield<br />
What would you do if you thought your husband was Jack the Ripper? A<br />
dark historical crime novel.<br />
He is my husband. To honour and obey. Until murder do us part. London,<br />
1888: Susannah rushes into marriage to a young and wealthy surgeon.<br />
After a passionate honeymoon, she returns home with her new husband<br />
wrapped around her little finger. But then everything changes. His<br />
behaviour becomes increasingly volatile and violent. He stays out all<br />
night, returning home bloodied and full of secrets. Lonely and frustrated,<br />
Susannah starts following the gruesome reports of a spate of murders in<br />
Whitechapel. But as the killings continue, her mind takes her down the<br />
darkest path imaginable.<br />
Every time her husband stays out late, another victim is found dead. Is it<br />
coincidence? Or is he the man they call Jack the Ripper?<br />

The showcase was meant<br />
to feature “models” sporting<br />
the latest fashion for<br />
both men and women<br />
from Maxwell Fashion,<br />
based in Halswell.<br />
Originally, it was to be<br />
held in April at Riccarton<br />
Park but was rescheduled<br />
to August 12 following the<br />
Covid-19 level 4 lockdown.<br />
“But on the evening of<br />
August 11, the Covid-19<br />
level went up and<br />
functions were reduced<br />
to very small numbers.<br />
We were devastated,” said<br />

ACHIEVEMENT: City councillor Sara Templeton unveils the new<br />
sign, which tells the story of how the Lyttelton Rail Tunnel was built.<br />

Sign tracks history of rail tunnel<br />
A NEW information board<br />
telling the story of the Lyttelton<br />
Rail Tunnel – the oldest in New<br />
Zealand – has been put up on<br />
Station Rd in Heathcote Valley.<br />
The information board has<br />
been developed by Engineering<br />
New Zealand’s Canterbury<br />
Heritage Chapter to publicly<br />
honour the achievement of<br />
the engineers who oversaw the<br />
tunnel’s construction.<br />
The tunnel, which opened<br />
on <strong>December</strong> 9, 1867, was New<br />
Zealand’s first rail tunnel – and<br />
for many years it was also the<br />
longest. It was also the first<br />
tunnel in the world to be driven<br />
through the side of an extinct<br />
volcano.<br />
It cost £195,000 to build.<br />
“What the engineers achieved<br />
with limited resources is quite<br />
staggering,” said Ian Bywater,<br />
Engineering New Zealand<br />
Canterbury Heritage Chapter<br />
secretary.<br />
“They were so bold and<br />
resourceful to drill a tunnel<br />
through volcanic rock to create a<br />
direct link between the port and<br />
Christchurch at a time<br />
when there was only a<br />
fledging railway system in New<br />
Zealand.’’<br />
City councillor Sara<br />
Templeton, who officially<br />
unveiled the information board,<br />
is pleased the pioneering feat<br />
of engineering is being publicly<br />
acknowledged.<br />
“A plaque has been put at the<br />
portal of the railway tunnel to<br />
acknowledge the engineering<br />
work that went into constructing<br />
the tunnel.<br />
“For safety reasons there is<br />
no public access to the portal so<br />
I am pleased that Engineering<br />
New Zealand have found<br />
another way to draw people’s<br />
attention to the nationally<br />
significant history of the tunnel,”<br />
she said.<br />
The idea of building a rail<br />
tunnel between the port of<br />
Lyttelton and Christchurch was<br />
first raised in the early 1850s<br />
but it was initially dismissed as<br />
unnecessary extravagance.<br />
However, as exports of wool<br />
continued to grow, the need<br />
for a direct connection to the<br />
port increased and, in 1858, the<br />
SUCCESS: The tunnel was opened on <strong>December</strong> 9, 1867.<br />
Canterbury Provincial Council<br />
decided to proceed with the<br />
ambitious project.<br />
Work on the rail tunnel<br />
began in 1860, but the English<br />
contractors hired to build the<br />
tunnel gave up when they struck<br />
extremely hard rock.<br />
Canterbury provincial<br />
engineer Edward Dobson took<br />
over responsibility for the<br />
project and a new Australian<br />
contractor, Holmes & Co, was<br />
found, allowing work on the<br />
tunnel to restart in July 1861.<br />
Constructing the tunnel wasn’t<br />
easy – there was more hard rock<br />
than expected and ways had to<br />
be found to ventilate and drain<br />
the tunnel.<br />
However, Dobson’s<br />
engineering skills were proven<br />
when the two lines of the tunnel<br />
– one coming from Lyttelton and<br />
the other from Heathcote – met<br />
as planned on May 24, 1867,<br />
when an iron rod was passed<br />
between the break through.<br />
Within five days it was possible<br />
for men to walk from one end of<br />
the tunnel to the other.<br />
Two workers were killed<br />
during construction of the<br />
2.4km tunnel when explosives<br />
were not handled carefully<br />
enough.<br />
The city council helped<br />
cover the cost of the information<br />
board, while Engineering<br />
New Zealand and Heritage<br />
New Zealand also contributed<br />
funds.<br />

THE ELECTION of Green<br />
MP Chlöe Swarbrick raised<br />
questions about who was<br />
the youngest member of<br />
Parliament.<br />
Swarbrick, at 23-years-old,<br />
was the seventh youngest MP<br />
when she entered Parliament<br />
in 2017. But the youngest MP<br />
had close connections with<br />
our own estuary.<br />
James Frederick Stuart-<br />
Wortley was just 20-years-old<br />
when elected to represent the<br />
Christchurch Country seat<br />
in New Zealand’s first Parliament<br />
in 1853.<br />
Stuart-Wortley was the third<br />
son of the Lord Wharncliffe<br />
II. He arrived in Christchurch<br />
aged 18-years-old and managed<br />
a block of land which<br />
now encompasses the Charlesworth<br />
Wetland Reserve.<br />
The land was owned by<br />
his father; Wharncliffe never<br />
came to New Zealand but<br />
James Frederick Stuart-<br />
Wortley – New Zealand’s<br />
youngest ever MP. <br />
vested his son with power of<br />
attorney.<br />
Charlesworth Wetland<br />
Reserve is now a significant<br />
wildlife refuge where more<br />
than 130,000 native trees and<br />
shrubs have been planted so as<br />
to restore the former pasture<br />
land to its original wetland<br />
character.<br />
Stuart-Wortley came on<br />
the Charlotte-Jane and The<br />
Cyclopedia of New Zealand<br />
describes him as “a man of<br />
means, and an accomplished<br />
gentleman.”<br />
His electorate included<br />
much of rural Canterbury<br />
and Westland. He resigned<br />
in July 1855 and returned to<br />
England.<br />
Little more is known of him<br />
other than that he unsuccessfully<br />
stood for the House<br />
of Commons in the United<br />
Kingdom in 1865 as Conservative<br />
Party candidate for<br />
Sheffield.<br />
A keen group of volunteers<br />
tend the plants at Charlesworth<br />
Reserve; if you want to<br />
help you are very welcome to<br />
join the group on Sundays at<br />
3pm at the Charlesworth St<br />
entrance to the reserve.

A taste for Beaujolais<br />
• By Mark Henderson<br />
I RECENTLY attended a tasting<br />
of French wines from a specialist<br />
French wine importer based in<br />
Auckland.<br />
We criss-crossed the country<br />
sampling a mix of wines from<br />
different regions and, while I<br />
was spoilt for choice, one of my<br />
favourites was from Beaujolais,<br />
made from the gamay grape.<br />
The Beaujolais region lies<br />
roughly 50km to the north of<br />
Lyon, the gastronomic capital<br />
of France, where its “bouchons”<br />
(the local term for bistro) are<br />
always well stocked with this<br />
very local wine. This wine style is<br />
often dubbed “vin de soif”, which<br />
roughly translates as unpretentious<br />
and measured by the joy<br />
and refreshment it offers.<br />
This might give the impression<br />
that these wines are simple, but<br />
that is far from the case — some<br />
of the finer examples have great<br />
complexity and potential in the<br />
cellar. It is more a reflection of<br />
the crunchy juiciness and richness<br />
they offer and their capability<br />
to be enjoyed immediately<br />
upon release. Moreover, these<br />
remain relative bargains in the<br />
pantheon of French wines.<br />
This wine style did develop a<br />
dire reputation during the Beaujolais<br />
Nouveau craze where the<br />
race was on to taste the very first<br />
wines of the harvest. Held on<br />
the third Thursday of November<br />
it showcases wines made from<br />
grapes picked just a few weeks<br />
earlier.<br />
At one time a particular yeast<br />
strain was commonly used to<br />
ferment the wines, and this gave<br />
a distinctive banana-like ester to<br />
the finished wines.<br />
While that yeast strain is now<br />
a thing of the past, the Beaujolais<br />
Nouveau fest is undergoing a<br />
small resurgence.<br />
Domestically, we have a handful<br />
of wineries flying the flag<br />
for this grape variety, but with<br />
a scant 10ha planted these are<br />
never going to be that easy to<br />
find.<br />
Today’s tasting includes a wine<br />
from a young French producer<br />
I visited in 2017 along with two<br />
serious New Zealand examples.<br />
2018 Alexandre Burgaud<br />
Beaujolais lantignie<br />
Price: $29.99<br />
Rating: Excellent to outstanding<br />
Smoke, juicy berryfruit,<br />
spices, a hint of funk, fruit jube<br />
and licorice evolve with time.<br />
Fresh, vibrant and zesty, brimming<br />
with berryfruit and raspberry<br />
notes, tannins in support.<br />
This opens up nicely and is oh<br />
so drinkable already, with a long,<br />
long lip-smacking close with a<br />
tingly crunchiness that draws<br />
you back for further sips.<br />
Delicious.<br />

2019 Easthope Stone<br />
Aged Hawke’s <strong>Bay</strong> gamay<br />
Price: $34.99 (cellar door)<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
Brooding nose of bonfire<br />
smoke, brambles, earth and<br />
river stones.<br />
A powerful start, almost a<br />
bruiser as sweet fruit floods<br />
the palate with fruit jam notes<br />
backed by black tea and leaf.<br />
This softens, adding raspberry<br />
with aeration yet retaining the<br />
vivid, tangy berryfruit crunch<br />
of the variety. Fine tannins and<br />
acidity in support.<br />
Real interest here.<br />
www.easthope.co.nz<br />
2019 Rippon Central<br />
Otago gamay<br />
Price: $57<br />
Rating: Excellent<br />
Delightful fragrance, florality,<br />
violets, spices, mixed berries.<br />
Powerfully expressed palate<br />
starts in the red spectrum with<br />
summer berries and crunchy<br />
fruit jube, sherbet and smokers<br />
lolly nuances while drying tannins<br />
flex their muscle.<br />
Moves into a darker, cherry<br />
and raspberry spectrum as it<br />
fleshes out maintaining lovely<br />
purity and crunch.<br />
Delicious.<br />

Environmentally-friendly Forester<br />
A SOUTHERLY gale was<br />
buffeting the media evaluation<br />
car and the roads were drenched<br />
with rain, not ideal conditions to<br />
be out driving.<br />
However, I was relaxed because<br />
I was driving a Subaru Forester<br />
sport utility vehicle, its permanently<br />
engaged four-wheel-drive<br />
offering security through grip<br />
and composure. It wasn’t just any<br />
Forester either, it was a hybrid,<br />
one of two petrol/electric models<br />
that Subaru has introduced this<br />
year, the other being the XV.<br />
If you are thinking that being a<br />
hybrid jeopardises the concept of<br />
Forester (or XV) you had better<br />
think again, both hybrid variants<br />
are still capable cross-country<br />
vehicles when grip is low and slippery<br />
conditions demand surety.<br />
I’ve always liked the Forester,<br />
it’s a mid-size SUV that makes<br />
you feel part of the car, it always<br />
feels tightly connected to the<br />
road, and when conditions are<br />
bad you, as a driver, can relax<br />
knowing that the mechanicals are<br />
working for you.<br />
The Forester has always been<br />
based on the Impreza floorpan,<br />
so that gives you some indication<br />
of its size; it’s not big, but it does<br />
have all the SUV characteristics<br />
you want when buying into that<br />
part of the market.<br />
The hybrid system is fairly<br />
traditional, think Toyota Prius<br />
and the other hybrids from<br />
that stable, the Forester’s unit is<br />
similar in its function; it is a lot<br />
more than a mild system, it is<br />
fully developed and contributes<br />
markedly to economy and performance.<br />
Subaru rate the Forester hybrid<br />
with a 6.7l/100km combined<br />
cycle fuel usage rating. That compares<br />
to the Forester in standard<br />
form of 7.4l/100km which, over<br />
time, will represent financial<br />
savings.<br />
During my evaluation time,<br />
and considering conditions<br />
were at their worst, l recorded<br />
an 8l/100km average with a<br />
5l/100km instantaneous figure<br />
appearing on readouts when I<br />
was travelling at 100km/h, the<br />
engine firing at 2000rpm.<br />
Of course, as with all traditional<br />
hybrids the electric motor<br />
would want to work the entire<br />
time. It can’t realistically, so the<br />
engine cuts in to generate power<br />
to the batteries and provide drive<br />
through a continuously variable<br />
automatic transmission to each<br />
corner of the vehicle.<br />
All in all it’s a complicated system<br />
made simple through clever<br />
engineering practise. Drive is<br />
smooth and seamless through all<br />
of the processes, and unless you<br />
were told the Forester had hybrid<br />
technology I’d defy anyone really<br />
knowing, bar the comprehensive<br />
FUNCTIONAL: The hybrid Forester loses none of its<br />
practicality.<br />
SUBARU FORESTER HYBRID: Two models from $47,490.<br />
display graphics that inform the<br />
driver of what is happening mechanically<br />
and electronically.<br />
Providing drive in the first instance<br />
is a horizontally-opposed<br />
engine with twin-overhead<br />
camshafts on each bank. Subaru<br />
simply calls the engine a boxer<br />
type, or else as I grew up, that<br />
configuration was known as a<br />
flat-four made popular in those<br />
days by Jowett, Volkswagen and<br />
Porsche. Interestingly, the hybrid<br />
model has just 2-litre capacity, as<br />
opposed to a 2.5-litre unit in the<br />
petrol-only models.<br />
Subaru rates the boxer hybrid<br />
with 110kW and 196Nm.<br />
Of course, you get extra power<br />
through the electric system that<br />
adds a chunky 12.3kW and<br />
66Nm.<br />
Together the Forester hybrid<br />
feels sprightly, and without power<br />
loss through the transmission<br />
there is good acceleration and<br />
healthy overtaking power available<br />
at highway speed. The hybrid<br />
Forester can reach 100km/h from<br />
a standstill in 10sec and cut out<br />
a 120km/h from 80km/h time of<br />
5.8sec.<br />
These figures are adequate for<br />
the Forester’s role, and given<br />
that there isn’t huge weight in<br />
the lithium-ion battery pack the<br />
Forester still feels agile.<br />
Because the weight sits mostly<br />
low, especially up front where the<br />
boxer design sits low under the<br />
• Price – Subaru Forester<br />
Premium hybrid, $54,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4625mm; width, 1815mm;<br />

• Configuration – Fourcylinder,<br />

• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 10sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 6.7l/100km<br />
bonnet, there is little gravitational<br />
shift when corners are presented.<br />
Add in considerable feel from the<br />
225/55 x 18in Bridgestone Dueler<br />
rubber and you get an involving<br />
handling experience, and one<br />
which is dynamic and informative.<br />
I took the evaluation car on<br />
my normal high country route, it<br />
is quiet on the highway, and even<br />
though the roads were wet for<br />
most of the drive I felt comfortable<br />
with the feel from behind the<br />
wheel.<br />
Inside, the Forester hybrid gets<br />
all of the technical ingredients<br />
and features for comfort that<br />
has made the petrol-only model<br />
a big seller through the years.<br />
Safety also has a high presence,<br />
and the camera-based EyeSight<br />
driver-assist technology is also<br />
included, easily contributing to<br />
a five-star Australasian New Car<br />
Assessment Program rating.<br />
The Star Media accountant has<br />
long been a Forester user. Not so<br />
much in recent years when a replacement<br />
brand was chosen, but<br />
I would like to think that car will<br />
soon go up for sale. I’m trying to<br />
convince the keen skier that the<br />
Forester is still the car for him,<br />
and I’ve asked him the question,<br />
would the return in petrol savings<br />
over time justify the extra cost of<br />
the hybrid?<br />
Subaru list the petrol only<br />
Forester Premium at $49,990, the<br />
hybrid in that specification adds<br />
$5000, although if you don’t want<br />
all the bells and whistles a Sport<br />
model lists at just $47,490, and<br />
that would be the car for me.<br />
Also, the extra reward you get<br />
as a driver certainly justifies the<br />
extra cost, and for those who feel<br />
that hybrids are part of the ecofriendly<br />
solution going forward,<br />
choices such as those Subaru are<br />
offering can only be a step in the<br />
right direction.<br />
When the Forester and XV<br />
hybrids were launched, supply<br />
was a problem, and in some ways<br />
that’s a good thing – today’s new<br />
vehicle buyers are well aware of<br />
the benefits of hybrid technology.<br />
Both models are now steady<br />
on stream, and I guess Subaru<br />
is looking at further developing<br />
its hybrid system, watch for it<br />
in other models in the near<br />
future.

Lyttelton Port Company Community Newsletter<br />
eview into workplace<br />
ulture released<br />
LPC has released an<br />
independent review into<br />
workplace culture, which has<br />
clearly laid out the need for<br />
cultural change at the Port.<br />
The independent review into workplace culture<br />
was commissioned by our Chief Executive<br />
Officer Roger Gray in May <strong>2020</strong> with the support<br />
of the LPC Board and led by Maria Dew QC.<br />
The review terms of reference covered<br />
allegations relating to bullying, racial and<br />
sexual discrimination, harassment and unfair<br />
selection of family members for roles.<br />
The review covered the 3-year period from<br />
2017 to <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
“The findings of the review are sobering.<br />
Maria has done an excellent job holding a<br />
mirror up to our organisation, and this is a<br />
strong starting point for us to all work together<br />
to continue to change LPC,” says Roger.<br />
LPC will accept and implement all the<br />
review’s 32 recommendations, which include<br />
five focus areas.<br />
Recommendations include specialist training<br />
for all LPC staff on appropriate workplace<br />
conduct, improving diversity and inclusion in<br />
the LPC workforce, improving accountability<br />
for poor staff conduct and reducing the ‘them<br />
and us’ barriers that exist between teams.<br />
“This report gives us clear direction<br />
for change. Our business is full of good<br />
people doing a hard job to support our local<br />
community and economy.<br />
We need to focus on making sure they’re<br />
okay and that this is a place they feel<br />
respected and valued,” says Roger.<br />
LPC Board Chair Margaret Devlin says the<br />
Board fully supports the implementation of<br />
the review’s findings.<br />
“This report is the next step in the process<br />
of change and transformation that the Board<br />
began at LPC nearly 2 years ago.<br />
We strongly support the findings of the<br />
independent review and will be working hard<br />
to ensure that all of the recommendations are<br />
addressed,” says Margaret.<br />
“The changes required at Lyttelton Port<br />
Company are significant. As a Board, we are<br />
committed to ensuring our people have the<br />
specialists and additional resources required<br />
to implement these changes.”<br />
The independent review was given full<br />
access to engage with staff and contractors<br />
and access to policies, procedures and relevant<br />
data.<br />
LPC’s four main workforce unions – the<br />
Rail and Maritime Union of New Zealand,<br />
Maritime Union of New Zealand, New Zealand<br />
Merchant Service Guild and Amalgamated<br />
Workers Union New Zealand – were all fully<br />
engaged in the process of the review.<br />
“I’d like to thank all of the nearly 100 current<br />
and former staff who came forward to speak<br />
to the review and help build a new culture at<br />
LPC,” says Roger.<br />
LPC will be releasing an action plan to<br />
implement the recommendations early in the<br />
new year, he says.<br />
“Following that, we will be publicly releasing<br />
regular 6-monthly updates on progress on<br />
the implementation of the recommendations,<br />
as well as further measures we’ve taken to<br />
support change at LPC.<br />
“I am determined that we will build a culture<br />
where everyone feels respected for their work<br />
no matter what their gender or ethnicity.<br />
Bullying and harassment have no place at LPC.<br />
“From senior managers to our dedicated<br />
workforce, everyone has a part to play in<br />
building a new culture at LPC, and I am<br />
positive about the direction we are taking.<br />
This review is the first step in our<br />
transformation.”<br />

Soon you will be able<br />
to walk, cycle, run or<br />
scooter directly from<br />
Norwich Quay in Lyttelton<br />
along Sutton Quay to<br />
Te Ana Marina, part of LPC’s<br />
commitment to further<br />
open the west side of the<br />
waterfront for the<br />
community to enjoy.<br />
Works began in mid-November including<br />
the construction of a pathway, two new<br />
pedestrian crossings and the relocation of<br />
the Sutton Quay Port access gate, creating a<br />
pedestrian link from Norwich Quay to<br />
Te Ana Marina.<br />
Currently, there is no pedestrian access<br />
from Sutton Quay to Te Ana Marina, meaning<br />
people must either use the stairs from Simeon<br />
Quay to the back of Te Ana Marina or walk<br />
down to Godley Quay.<br />
Christchurch Deputy Mayor and Banks<br />
Peninsula ward councillor Andrew Turner<br />
says he’s excited to see the Lyttelton<br />
community gain additional access to<br />
the waterfront.<br />
“Whakaraupō/Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong> is a<br />
special place to many people.<br />
We know that, particularly during the<br />
COVID-19 Level 4 lockdown earlier this year,<br />
Te Ana Marina was very a popular spot for<br />
locals to walk and enjoy some fresh air.<br />
“Providing this walkway will mean people<br />
can now easily walk from Lyttelton’s town<br />
centre to Te Ana Marina.<br />
“I’m looking forward to seeing more families<br />
and visitors down on the waterfront this<br />
summer – this is the perfect spot for a picnic, a<br />
walk along the promenade or a chance to take<br />
in the stunning harbour views.”<br />
The new pathway is expected to be<br />
completed by mid-<strong>December</strong>.<br />

Border protection measures at LPC<br />
LPC staff are working with<br />
Canterbury District Health<br />
Board and Pegasus Health<br />
to ensure New Zealand stays<br />
COVID-19 free.<br />
Marine pilots, launch crews, cargo handlers<br />
and security staff who transport ships’ crew<br />
are undergoing COVID-19 testing regularly,<br />
after the Ministry of Health made testing<br />
mandatory for border-facing staff earlier<br />
this year.<br />
GP Clinical Lead for the Canterbury<br />
Primary Response Group Hannah Gordon<br />
says the borders are our first line of defence<br />
against COVID-19, but it is important to<br />
remember what we are asking from the<br />
people who work in these places.<br />
“Most of them are being expected to have<br />
a nasal swab regularly and again if they<br />
become symptomatic.<br />
“It’s a good reminder that, if these guys<br />
can do this, the rest of us should probably<br />
front up to get a test when we are unwell.<br />
It’s the least we can do.”<br />
Pegasus Health are on site twice a week to<br />
hold testing clinics and support LPC with the<br />
mandatory testing order.<br />
LPC CEO Roger Gray says keeping<br />
our people, community and all Port users safe<br />
continues to be the focus of our response to<br />
COVID-19 at Lyttelton Port Company.<br />
“We’re proud of the way our people have<br />
adapted to a ‘new normal’ way of working.”<br />

LPC UPDATE <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
ight relief: The Lyttelton<br />
ighthouse has returned<br />
s work on the cruise berth<br />
omes to completion, we<br />
ave been able to return the<br />
yttelton lighthouse, a historic<br />
iece of infrastructure, to<br />
ts rightful home on the<br />
astern mole in Whakaraupō/<br />
yttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>.<br />
The lighthouse was built in 1878, and before<br />
advances in technology, it was an essential<br />
piece of navigation infrastructure, guiding<br />
ships into the harbour.<br />
In 2010, when the first of many<br />
earthquakes devastated Christchurch, it<br />
caused a large amount of irreparable damage<br />
on the wharf the lighthouse sat on, leaving it<br />
on a 15-degree lean.<br />
Our team quickly worked to remove the<br />
lighthouse to save the iconic structure and<br />
prevent further damage.<br />
LPC Engineer Neil McLennan says the<br />
Port team always anticipated that it would<br />
return to its original position.<br />
“The welfare of the lighthouse provided<br />
some welcome light relief during the<br />
challenging early days of our earthquake<br />
response, but we all understood that it<br />
was part of our Port heritage, important<br />
to the Lyttelton community and that we<br />
needed to take care of it,” says Neil.<br />
Moving the lighthouse is no easy feat<br />
as the wooden structure weighs 9 tonnes.<br />
Using a crane, the lighthouse was lifted<br />
onto a truck, moved down Norwich<br />
Quay and through to the end of the<br />
eastern mole structure – the same place<br />
it stood for around 140 years before the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
Although the lighthouse will no<br />
longer be part of the Port’s navigation<br />
infrastructure, there will be a white<br />
display light visible at night.<br />

The installation of<br />
a new live monitoring<br />
station on Gilmore<br />
Terrace in Lyttelton.<br />
Gathering dust<br />
In addition to the new station, LPC has 13<br />
dust collection sites in the Port and township,<br />
which have provided 20 years of nearcontinuous<br />
monitoring. Together with the<br />
new live monitoring station, the full story of<br />
coal dust will be revealed so that we can best<br />
understand the impact of our operations.<br />
Where does dust<br />
come from?<br />
There are numerous sources of dust in<br />
Lyttelton. These include dust particles<br />
associated with the Port as well as log<br />
burners, pollen, car emissions, soil dust<br />
and even sea salt. It’s essential not just to<br />
monitor dust levels but also to understand<br />
dust sources so that control measures can be<br />
targeted appropriately.<br />
elving into dust<br />
Coal dust resource<br />
consent renewal<br />
LPC is in the process of renewing our coal dust<br />
resource consent, which enables us to store<br />
and handle coal for export. We are currently<br />
working through the steps required to prepare<br />
our application, including detailed air quality<br />
assessments to ensure we meet (or exceed)<br />
national standards for air quality.<br />
This <strong>December</strong>, LPC is<br />
launching a new live dust<br />
monitoring station<br />
in Lyttelton.<br />
In 2021, LPC will be applying to renew its<br />
coal dust resource consent. As part of this<br />
process, a live dust monitoring station is<br />
being set up in the residential area closest to<br />
the coal stockyard.<br />
Furnished with state-of-the-art<br />
equipment, the station will provide a clear<br />
picture of dust levels and sources over a<br />
5-month period.<br />
This information will enable analysts to<br />
pinpoint exactly when high coal dust levels<br />
occur and, by looking at weather patterns<br />
and other environmental factors, understand<br />
what conditions create dust.<br />
With this insight in hand, our team will be<br />
able to make predictions with a higher level<br />
of accuracy and target our dust minimisation<br />
measures even more effectively.<br />
Three expert organisations have come<br />
together to deliver the new monitoring<br />
station, which will be helicoptered into place.<br />
The measuring equipment is provided<br />
by Mote, an Auckland-based supplier of<br />
specialist instruments.<br />
Crown research institute GNS will<br />
analyse the sources of dust collected at the<br />
station, and Tonkin + Taylor will provide an<br />
independent assessment of air quality effects.<br />
Richard Chilton, Principal Air Quality<br />
Scientist at Tonkin + Taylor, explains the<br />
benefit of live monitoring.<br />
“This station will tell us the hour-to-hour<br />
concentrations of fine particles. Combined<br />
with GNS’s analysis of dust sources, we will<br />
be able to understand where dust is coming<br />
from and what impact, if any, the coal<br />
stockyard is having in the community.”<br />
Data from the live monitoring station will<br />
be uploaded to the LPC coal dust consent<br />
webpage.<br />
Once the results are fully analysed, LPC<br />
will discuss the findings with the community<br />
at a drop-in session planned for autumn 2021.<br />

LPC UPDATE <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
Chinese antarctic research vessel<br />
welcomed to Lyttelton<br />
Last month the Chinese<br />
antarctic research vessel,<br />
Xue Long 2 was welcomed<br />
into Lyttelton in a rather<br />
untraditional way.<br />
With crew unable to leave the ship due to<br />
COVID-19 restrictions, a drone was used to fly<br />
a gift onto the vessel, for the almost 100 crew<br />
members on deck to receive.<br />
Christchurch City Council,<br />
ChristchurchNZ and the Christchurch<br />
Antarctic Office presented a gift to the vessel<br />
for their first visit to New Zealand. LPC GM<br />
Bulk Cargo and Marine Paul Monk was on<br />
hand to collect a gift from the crew in return,<br />
which spent 14 days in quarantine before it<br />
could be opened.<br />
“It’s fantastic that LPC could support the<br />
welcoming of the vessel and crew, it was<br />
a unique and memorable experience for<br />
everyone involved,” says Paul<br />
“COVID-19 has forced us to grow and<br />
adapt in ways we never expected to, with<br />
this event just another example of how LPC<br />
and Christchurch has managed to adjust to<br />
ensure everyone stays safe.”<br />
Christchurch is one of five gateway<br />
cities to Antarctica, with Lyttelton Port<br />
having a long history as a base for Antarctic<br />
exploration for not only New Zealanders but<br />
international Antarctic explorers.<br />
“Being one of only five cities in the world<br />
with an Antarctic connection is incredibly<br />
special and it’s great to come together and<br />
celebrate that,” says Paul.<br />
Lyttelton Port is often used as a place<br />
for vessels to restock and prepare, before<br />
heading straight to the Antarctic, with<br />
supplies for the Chinese vessel quarantined<br />
then delivered through a contact free<br />
process.<br />
Departing from China, the crew were<br />
at sea for 17 days before they arrived in<br />
Lyttelton, and after two days, headed for<br />
Zhongshan Station in Antarctica.<br />
The Xue Long 2 carries members of<br />
the ‘37th Chinese expedition’ to Antarctica<br />
for scientific research, with this<br />
expedition, looking at microplastics in<br />
the Antarctic Ocean as well as carrying<br />
out hydrological, meteorological, and<br />
environmental investigations.<br />

LPC UPDATE <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
ruise berth opening<br />
ew Zealand’s first purposeuilt<br />
cruise ship facility was<br />
fficially opened last month<br />
y the Mayor of Christchurch,<br />
on. Lianne Dalziel.<br />
Since 2018, a dedicated team of contractors,<br />
project managers and engineers have worked<br />
tirelessly to build the cruise berth.<br />
A redesign of the berth in the early stages<br />
of the project has minimised the number and<br />
size of piles in the wharf and significantly<br />
reduced underwater noise, which can affect<br />
marine mammals – notably Hector’s dolphins,<br />
which are endemic to the South Island.<br />
LPC Chief Executive Officer Roger Gray<br />
says the project raised the standard of<br />
practice in protecting marine mammals in<br />
construction projects in New Zealand by<br />
designing with nature in mind.<br />
The redesign of the wharf structure<br />
also presented LPC an opportunity to<br />
significantly reduce the embodied carbon<br />
emissions of the wharf by adopting a design<br />
that reduced steel and concrete use.<br />
Overall, the redesign of the berth resulted<br />
in a 50% reduction in embodied carbon<br />
emissions created in the construction of<br />
the berth.<br />
“As a major player in Whakaraupō/<br />
Lyttelton <strong>Harbour</strong>, we know we have a<br />
responsibility to not only protect our marine<br />
environment but also play our part in<br />
contributing to addressing climate change,”<br />
says Roger.<br />
LPC remains positive about the berth’s<br />
future as a long-term asset for Lyttelton Port.<br />
“Last month, we welcomed Heritage<br />
Expeditions’ flagship vessel Spirit of Enderby<br />
to the berth, which has been granted an<br />
exemption by the government to operate<br />
domestic expedition cruises in New Zealand<br />
this season,” says Roger.<br />
LPC is also exploring opportunities to use<br />
the berth for other inner harbour operations,<br />
including using the space for fishing vessels,<br />
Antarctic research vessels and some bulk<br />
cargo operations.<br />
“The berth is an asset for LPC and<br />
will free up much needed capacity in our<br />
inner harbour.<br />
While we are disappointed this cruise<br />
season will be impacted by the COVID-19<br />
pandemic, we will be ready to welcome cruise<br />
ships when they do return,” says Roger.<br />
“LPC remains<br />
positive about the<br />
berth’s future as a<br />
long-term asset for<br />
Lyttelton Port.”<br />

The sustainable solution<br />
Creating sustainable nappies<br />
is not an easy task, but a<br />
successful New Zealand<br />
company is proving these<br />
household essentials can be<br />
made with the environment<br />
in mind.<br />
oopii is a New Zealand nappy brand with a<br />
ocal Lyttelton connection that is driven by<br />
aking products that not only benefit the<br />
nvironment, but as a social enterprise company,<br />
hey are focused on helping wider communities<br />
ith strong social and environmental drivers.<br />
The award-winning products are<br />
eveloped and designed in New Zealand and<br />
anufactured overseas.<br />
The nappies then arrive at Auckland Port<br />
for North Island distribution before they<br />
are shipped to Lyttelton to be dispatched<br />
across the South Island.<br />
Noopii nappies are made from more than<br />
70% plant-based sustainable and renewable<br />
materials, have a cotton blend outer, paper<br />
packaging and contain mānuka hydrosol,<br />
making them naturally anti-bacterial and<br />
helping to prevent nappy rash – a world<br />
first.<br />
CEO Bridget Bodie-Healy says Noopii<br />
was made to be a ‘challenger’ brand to<br />
conventional nappies on the New Zealand<br />
market and will be exported worldwide.<br />
“Whenever we need to make a decision<br />
for the company, we just ask if this is<br />
going to serve children, families and the<br />
environment.<br />
We run our thinking through our<br />
environmental, social and healthcare lens.<br />
If it’s not going to have a positive impact,<br />
then we don’t move forward with it.<br />
In that respect, it’s quite simplistic – it’s<br />
the product design that often provides<br />
the challenge.”<br />
For each pack sold, a percentage of<br />
funds is donated to the Trees that Count<br />
programme through the Noopii One Pack<br />
One Tree initiative supporting reforestation<br />
as well as native species and habitat<br />
recovery organisations Yellow-eyed Penguin<br />
Trust, Forest & Bird and Project Jonah NZ.<br />
When asked about starting a new<br />
business, Bridget says it’s all about<br />
confidence and determination.<br />
“If you spend all your time sitting and<br />
wondering, you’ll never get anywhere. It’s<br />
all about hard work, determination and<br />
commitment. Making a world-class awardwinning<br />
brand takes high productivity,<br />
passion and laser focus.”

LPC UPDATE <strong>December</strong> <strong>2020</strong><br />
ena the conservation dog<br />
Alastair and Mena<br />
were able to locate<br />
20 penguin nests<br />
around the harbour,<br />
including this little<br />
penguin pictured.<br />
As part of LPC’s Biodiversity<br />
Positive strategy we’re focused<br />
on being a good neighbour,<br />
not only to the community,<br />
but also to the animals of<br />
conservation significance we<br />
share the environment with.<br />
The seawalls around the Port are a great<br />
habitat for white-flippered penguins and this<br />
time of year they can often be found onshore<br />
laying eggs and raising chicks.<br />
They breed only on Banks Peninsula and<br />
Motunau Island and are considered to be the<br />
one and only indigenous creature unique to<br />
Canterbury, New Zealand.<br />
LPC’s Head of Sustainability and<br />
Environment Kim Kelleher says we want to<br />
make sure we keep our feathered friends safe<br />
while they’re on land so every year we do a<br />
full survey of our coastal sea walls to locate<br />
the nest sites and protect them.<br />
We have a special helper to do that - Mena<br />
the conservation dog and her trainer Alastair<br />
were back at LPC recently to locate any<br />
penguins that may be nesting in the seawalls<br />
around the Port.<br />
The pair are from the Kaikōura Ocean<br />
Research Institute and work together to<br />
track penguins through a keen sense of smell<br />
as well as visual indicators that suggest the<br />
presence of white-flippered penguins.<br />
Alastair and Mena were able to locate 20<br />
penguin nests around the Port, including this<br />
little penguin pictured.<br />
“One of the main things we can all do to<br />
help protect the white-flippered penguins is<br />
to have good predator control (ferrets, feral<br />
cats and stoats) and keep our domestic pets,<br />
cats and dogs away from the coastal strip<br />
during the nesting season,” says Kim.<br />
“As part of our biodiversity positive<br />
approach, we value nature and support and<br />
protect the special wildlife we share the<br />
harbour with.”<br />

Pop Up Penguins celebrate<br />
creativity and exploration this<br />
summer in Christchurch<br />
Pop Up Penguins have hit<br />
the streets of Christchurch<br />
with LPC co-sponsoring<br />
Little Blue, which is set to<br />
feature in Lyttelton’s town<br />
square for 10 weeks.<br />
LPC’s GM Engagement<br />
and Sustainability Phil de<br />
Joux and CEO Roger Gray<br />
standing with Little Blue in<br />
Albion Square.<br />
After the success of the Christchurch<br />
Stands Tall giraffes, this summer, 50 large<br />
and 65 small penguin sculptures have been<br />
spread around Ōtautahi, featuring designs<br />
by emerging and established local artists.<br />
LPC is proud to be supporting this<br />
initiative and is sponsoring a penguin along<br />
with two other local companies, Structex<br />
and Lyttelton Engineering.<br />
LPC General Manager Engagement<br />
and Sustainability Phil de Joux says<br />
it’s important to be supporting the<br />
community in a creative and innovative<br />
way, with the theme of penguins drawing<br />
a special significance.<br />
“Christchurch is a gateway city to<br />
Antarctica, with Lyttelton Port being the<br />
connection to the ice, so Pop Up Penguins<br />
is a chance to celebrate and educate<br />
people around the importance of this and<br />
encourage exploration in a new generation.<br />
“The harbour also has a special<br />
connection to the hoiho as one of their main<br />
breeding grounds is in Banks Peninsula.”<br />
The penguin was designed by Diamond<br />
<strong>Harbour</strong> artist Debbie Porter who was<br />
inspired by the penguins that live in<br />
the harbour, their habitat and diet and<br />
the ocean.<br />
After the 10 weeks on display, the<br />
penguins will be auctioned off, with the<br />
proceeds going to Cholmondeley, a charity<br />
that supports children of families in crisis.<br />
“We are proud to be supporting<br />
Cholmondeley through this project, who<br />
have been operating in Banks Peninsula<br />
and supporting Canterbury families for<br />
nearly a century,” says Phil.

Timber from deconstructed<br />
wharves at LPC has been<br />
put to good use and upcycled<br />
into planter boxes for Project<br />
Lyttelton’s community garden.<br />
The timber has been donated over the last<br />
three years and was used to construct<br />
14 vegetable and flower boxes. Our Civil<br />
Maintenance Team ensured the timber was<br />
safely transported to the community garden.<br />
The garden, which started <strong>16</strong> years ago,<br />
is maintained by a committed group of<br />
volunteers who work on the garden<br />
every Wednesday.<br />
Project Lyttelton Manager Jacqueline<br />
Newbound says the community garden offers<br />
a great chance to get to know people you<br />
wouldn’t normally meet.<br />
“We have a great range of people that<br />
come here, from young to old with everyone<br />
working together towards a common goal.”<br />
Not only is produce available to the<br />
volunteers who help grow it, Project Lyttelton<br />
also donates vegetables to Lyttelton’s<br />
Community House.<br />
Along with the planter boxes, the garden<br />
also has an orchard, a glasshouse, a nursery<br />
and several chickens and plans to install<br />
hydroponics in the future.<br />
