PHOTO MONTAGE: GEOFF SLOAN Group worried that further problems would develop • From page 1 The Boat Safety at Naval Point, Lyttelton group expressed concern over why this idea was presented when there was unanimous support and feedback for option two with the fixed breakwater. “We decided on the best option and then this came out as something we’d never seen,” Roger Allen, who has 73 years of sailing experience, said. “We give credit to the council because the consultation process was quite good and they did have options,” member Eden Husband said. “But then they proposed their own venture with a reduced breakwater.” The group, which has been campaigning for 28 years for development of the public boat ramp and surrounding marine area, strongly argued for the fixed breakwater during the consultations. “The critical thing with boating is to protect the area that you launch and retrieve your vessels, and to have an area for boats to congregate safely while they are waiting to get off the water,” Husband said. They are worried that if the draft plan design is chosen for the final plan to be modelled off, it will only create more problems. Allan explained that having two entry and exit points may result in dangerous traffic issues and congestion, aggravated by those who do not fully understand boating rules. The protected area would be smaller, meaning less boats would be sheltered from the bad weather and the launching area would not receive sufficient coverage from the winds. It would also be harder for larger sailing boats to launch safely. “The general concern of the public is modelling of the shorter structure is inadequate for the needs of the environment,” member James Ensor said. Banks Peninsula Community Board chairwoman Tori Peden told Bay Harbour News that what was passed as the draft plan would not be the final design, hoping to reassure the likes of Boat Safety and other concerned groups. “What was passed by the board is not set in concrete and we are now consulting with engineers,” she said. “The draft plan was just one step in the process and it shows roughly where everything will go. We are still yet to finalise aspects such as the number of car parks and the breakwater Tori Peden length.” However, Boat Safety are concerned around why the majority supported option for the longer breakwater had not been included in any engagement from the council since. They are worried that a sticking plaster approach will be taken to the project, having seen many failures since they first started campaigning. “We would like to see more design and modelling around the second option, which is what everyone supported. The community using the facilities needs to feel safe and secure,” said Ensor. Anthony Whitely, who has worked as deputy and regional harbour master for eight years, also supported a new longer breakwater moulded into the spit currently in place. “This gives more protection from the winds for vessels in the area of the slipway and allows for more room to manoeuvre,” he said. “Our argument as always been before you build the asset, protect it,” Husband said. Peden confirmed that further testing of the proposed breakwater layout will be carried out ensuring the best possible option is chosen and safety of the facility users being paramount.

Wednesday January 20 2021 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 7 New Year, New Opportunities! Is this your year of change? Did you put your feet up over Christmas and think about what 2021 might bring? New house, new career, change of direction? All of the above? We know life is full of opportunities and change is our constant companion. Some of us embrace it and some are happy with the status quo. Where do you fit in? There is plenty of evidence to suggest the real estate market is going to continue to be buoyant at least for the first part of the year. Interest rates are still at an historical low and are continuing to drop, Kiwis are returning home in droves and there is unprecedented demand for housing in all price ranges. Multiple bidders at auctions and multiple offers on deadline sales are very much the norm in the current market. Is this your year to sell? Or, is this your year to enter real estate as a career? If there was ever a time to get into the business of real estate then it has got to be now. Invariably at this time of year we get enquiries from people from all walks of life looking at a change of career. If it is something you have been contemplating or are keen to know more about then we would love to hear from you.
