Platform for coastal suburbs proposed in response to new ward boundaries • By Samantha Mythen THE SUMNER Community Residents’ Association is worried new ward boundaries will mean coastal suburbs facing similar coastal hazard adaptation issues will be unable to work together efficiently. In light of the city council’s representation review, the Heathcote Ward, including Sumner and Redcliffs, will be merged into Spreydon-Cashmere for the 2022 election. The residents’ association is concerned about the move, as the new ward does not face “similar Charlie Hudson vulnerabilities of coastal issues,” said Sumner Hub co-ordinator Charlie Hudson. It has written to Linwood-Central-Heathcote chairwoman Alexandra Davids to highlight the concerns. “We have asked them to assist the coastal wards to have a platform to come together to discuss and respond to upcoming city council and government advice,” said Hudson. It is hoped the community board will request a collaborative platform where coastal wards can “come together to share ideas, concerns and resources.” The residents’ association would like this platform to be set up prior to the city council’s working group recommendations on coastal hazards and advice being released later this year.

Hudson said it is important and necessary the coastal communities have a united voice. “Hopefully, this will balance our move into the Cashmere-Spreydon Ward, which will not be as affected,” she said. Davids said she had yet to discuss the idea with the community board but thought it was fantastic. “Obviously different communities in coastal areas are dealing with the same issues and having a platform for them to come together and discuss would be very meaningful,” she said. The idea will be discussed Wednesday July 28 2021 Bay Harbour News NEWS 7 Have Your Say: Would you like a group to be established for coastal suburbs to discuss increasing coastal hazards? Share your thoughts with samantha. mythen@starmedia.kiwi at the next community board meeting in August. Redcliffs Residents’ Association Secretary Pat McIntosh said they had supported the amalgamation rather than establishing a coastal board. “Most Redcliffs people feel an affinity with the corridor in and out of town as we are all at the foot of the Port Hills,” said McIntosh. However, she said the residents’ association had not yet discussed the Sumner Community Residents’ Association coastal ward platform idea. The Sumner residents’ association had raised its concerns about the Heathcote Ward being separated from other coastal wards during consultations on the representation review. The review was adopted by the city council on June 18 and was open to appeals and objections from June 25 to July 26. get injured?
