Balloting begins for Coastal by-election<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

VOTERS WILL start receiving<br />

ballot papers today to elect a new<br />

Coastal Ward councillor.<br />

Seven candidates are vying for<br />

the seat vacated by James Daniels<br />

in May.<br />

Daniels triggered the byelection<br />

when he announced<br />

he was leaving the role and the<br />

$114,130 pay packet to work as<br />

a co-host on the Newstalk ZB<br />

afternoon show.<br />

He had ousted two-term<br />

councillor David East in the 2019<br />

local body elections by a slender<br />

339 votes.<br />

Now East is back, seeking to<br />

reclaim his seat, along with six<br />

others.<br />

They are: Kelly Barber<br />

(The People’s Choice), the<br />

current chairman of the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board; Celeste Donovan<br />

(Independent – Positive<br />

Community Action), the current<br />

chairwoman of the New Brighton<br />

Residents Association; Katie<br />

Hays; Andre Hopman<br />

(Independent); Caleb Isaacs<br />

(Independent); and Nikora Nitro.<br />

The election pledges of the<br />

candidates reflected the word<br />

on the street at New Brighton<br />

when <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> asked a cross<br />

section of residents what they<br />

were seeking from candidates in<br />

a by-election estimated to cost<br />

about $65,000.<br />

Michelle Nicolls of South<br />

Brighton wants candidates to<br />

concentrate of the basics.<br />

“Get our roads<br />

fixed instead of<br />

giving us fancy<br />

new stuff, just<br />

give us the basics<br />

and we’ll be<br />

happy,” she said.<br />

New Brighton<br />

Michelle retailer Dennis<br />

Nicolls Shrimpton<br />

believes they all<br />

have the best of intentions but it’s<br />

obvious some have it and some<br />

don’t.<br />

“Some mean<br />

well and I’m<br />

impressed with<br />

them, I believe<br />

that if they are<br />

elected it bodes<br />

well for our<br />

Dennis<br />

Shrimpton<br />

community, I<br />

just hope they<br />

give Brighton a<br />

big smack on the<br />

bum and lift it up,” he said.<br />

TACKING through Covid-19<br />

regulations ensures a fair wind for the<br />

Pleasant Point Yacht Club as it starts<br />

sailing this weekend.<br />

On Saturday, the club will launch its<br />

101 st season on the estuary.<br />

Club committee member Nigel<br />

Humphreys said they will be out<br />

on the estuary from the South New<br />

Brighton Park as they host an open<br />

race for dinghy sailors.<br />

“Despite Covid we’ll be out there,<br />

but because of the delay in opening<br />

by many other clubs in the district we<br />

are expecting a slightly lower turnout<br />

than in previous years.”<br />

The race starts at 2.40pm and<br />

Humphreys said spectators and those<br />

interested in sailing are welcome to<br />

come along.<br />

“Our 101 st season is going to be a<br />

good one as we have new boats and<br />

facilities on hand, they are great and<br />

make a vast improvement from five<br />

years in containers.”<br />

He credits the new facilities<br />

and the heightened interest in<br />

sailing due to the recent America’s<br />

Cup and Olympics as the reason<br />

for the growing interest in sailing.<br />

“Some come for the social side<br />

and some come to race, to help them<br />

all we will be starting junior and<br />

adult Learn to Sail programmes in<br />

October.”<br />

The junior course will run during<br />

the school holidays from October 11<br />

through to October 15, while the adult<br />

learn to sail course will run from<br />

OPEN DAY: The new Pleasant Point Yacht Club facilities will host a<br />

dinghy race meeting this weekend. Senior boats compete in one<br />

of the many races the club holds each sailing season out on the<br />

estuary.<br />

October 17 through to November 13.<br />

The courses follow the<br />

Yachting NZ coaching programme<br />

and will be run by the club’s learn to<br />

sail co-ordinators Dan O’Sullivan<br />

and Brett Hawkes, with assistance of<br />

experienced club members.<br />

No experience is needed to<br />

take part and the club will<br />

supply yachts and life jackets … but<br />

recommend suitable footwear and<br />

warm clothing.<br />

Hearing panel on freedom camping continues<br />

• By John Cosgrove<br />

THE TESTY issue of freedom<br />

camping in the city continues to<br />

polarise opinion.<br />

The city council’s bylaw hearings<br />

panel was due to reconvene<br />

this morning after spending all<br />

of last Monday hearing submissions<br />

for the proposed replacement<br />

Freedom Camping Bylaw<br />

<strong>2021</strong>.<br />

Submitters assembled to<br />

consider the proposal to make<br />

changes to the freedom camping<br />

bylaw that covers Christchurch<br />

and Banks Peninsula, which was<br />

first introduced five years ago.<br />

Panel members, councillors<br />

Phil Mauger, Tim Scandrett and<br />

Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner,<br />

were to restart the process again<br />

this morning.<br />

Of the 97 submissions<br />

received, 12 were from<br />

organisations, three were from<br />

businesses and 82 were from<br />

individual submitters.<br />

The proposed bylaw changes<br />

include making a temporary<br />

ban on freedom camping in<br />

the North Beach car park<br />

permanent. The ban would apply<br />

at weekends from October to<br />

May to enable good access to the<br />

carpark when it is at its busiest.<br />

Proposed changes also include<br />

creating a city coastal restricted<br />

zone, where freedom campers<br />

could stay for up to four nights<br />

in any 30-day period. This new<br />

zone would prevent campers<br />

using the current 500m rule to<br />

move short distances every few<br />

days and stay in the coastal area<br />

for extended periods of time.<br />

Another proposed change is<br />

the introduction of a new rule to<br />

encourage campers to be more<br />

careful about how they set up<br />

their vehicles and camping gear.<br />

The rule would prevent campers<br />

from blocking thoroughfares<br />

and spreading out.<br />

The last element focuses on<br />

creating a specified area at Naval<br />

Point in Lyttelton where freedom<br />

campers can stay, and limiting<br />

the number of freedom camping<br />

spots to 18 vehicles.<br />

A report prepared by council<br />

staff for the hearings panel<br />

said most of the submissions<br />

received are generally supportive<br />

of the proposed bylaw changes,<br />

EMPTY NOW:<br />

COSGROVE<br />

although some disagreed and<br />

others put forward suggestions<br />

to further improve the bylaw.<br />

The main area of contention<br />

was the City Coastal Restricted<br />

Zone proposal.<br />

The report notes submissions<br />

on this proposal were very<br />

mixed.<br />

There was strong<br />

opposition mentioned in the<br />

report in relation to Southshore<br />

being included, with some wanting<br />

camping prohibited<br />

instead.<br />

The hearings panel will be<br />

considering all the matters raised<br />

in the submissions and then will<br />

seek advice from staff before<br />

making recommendations to<br />

council on the final form of the<br />

bylaw.<br />

The aim of the panel is to have<br />

an updated Freedom Camping<br />

Bylaw in place by the start of<br />

the summer.<br />

Big job expected for successful candidate<br />

• From page 1<br />

Facility manager Samantha Fay<br />

said whoever gets elected will have<br />

a big job on their hands.<br />

“I think they all have to realise<br />

what a huge job it will be representing<br />

this area, they cannot consider<br />

it as a part-time job as we have such<br />

a diverse community here.<br />

The candidates<br />

“It’s a long ward and the candidates<br />

need to look beyond focusing<br />

on the mall regeneration and have<br />

a broader overview of what need to<br />

be done in all the communities that<br />

make up our ward,” she said.<br />

Hair salon owner Felicity Patterson<br />

(right) wants more doing and<br />

less talking. “The council needs to<br />

really sort out the landlords here as<br />

they need to be more accountable.”<br />

Retiree Terry O’Keefe said he<br />

hasn’t made up his mind yet who to<br />

support, but he is hoping for someone<br />

who is practically minded.<br />

“I hope they are practical people<br />

who are much better at working<br />

than those who just talk about<br />

theory all the time.”<br />

Voting closes at noon, Friday, October<br />

8. But electoral officer Jo Daly<br />

is urging people to vote quickly.<br />

The 2019 elections reflected a<br />

response by only 42.13 per cent<br />

or 6509 of the 15,447 eligible voters.<br />

This was a 2.08 per cent increase<br />

from the previous 20<strong>16</strong> elections.<br />

Kelly Barber<br />

The current<br />

chairman of<br />

the Coastal-<br />

Board. His<br />

vision is to see the community<br />

bursting with new life. “I<br />

will be continuing to build<br />

strong relationships within the<br />

community and with those who<br />

make the decisions.”<br />

(Independent<br />

The current<br />

chairwoman<br />

of the New Brighton Residents’<br />

Association believes coastal<br />

communities need a strong<br />

local advocate who listens to<br />

residents and gives 100 per<br />

cent commitment to the job.<br />

“My promise to you is to stay<br />

engaged, to listen and work hard<br />

for the strong communities,<br />

healthy environment and better<br />

future that we all deserve.”<br />

six years’<br />

experience on<br />

to continue advocating for all<br />

people. His key election focus<br />

includes addressing issues<br />

that matter most to residents,<br />

progression of New Brighton<br />

Mall initiatives, and roads and<br />

footpaths.<br />

Katie Hays, a<br />

property<br />

manager,<br />

believes the<br />

most urgent<br />

need is<br />

regeneration of<br />

the mall. “It’s<br />

the core of our communitygeographically,<br />

historically,<br />

and culturally. I am running<br />

because I feel passionate about<br />

this undertaking and qualified to<br />

achieve what is necessary.”<br />

Andre Hopman<br />

(Independent), a businessman in<br />

New Brighton, believes people<br />

can’t forget the basics that will<br />

ensure Coastal<br />

Christchurch<br />

remains a great<br />

place to live,<br />

work and invest.<br />

“We know what<br />

needs doing here<br />

and why it’s so<br />

important. I’m standing as an<br />

independent, because I believe<br />

there is no room for party<br />

politics in local government.”<br />

Caleb Isaacs<br />

(Independent),<br />

a small<br />

business owner,<br />

musician and<br />

New Brighton<br />

resident who<br />

believes it’s time<br />

the ward had<br />

fresh representation. “We don’t<br />

need political parties meddling<br />

in local politics, we need an<br />

unfiltered voice and someone<br />

who won’t be afraid to ask hard<br />

questions and ruffle feathers.”<br />

Nikora<br />

Nitro would<br />

like people to<br />

vote for him<br />

in this year’s<br />

Coastal Ward<br />

by-election<br />

because “you<br />

are amazing,<br />

fabulous, fantastic, unique and<br />

so am I.” “I believe that together<br />

we can make transformational<br />

differences and lead the way<br />

as a ward of the city council in<br />

the art of celebrating diversity<br />

and looking after its people.”<br />

Knitters give babies a warm welcome<br />

FOUR WOMEN from<br />

Ferrymead Rotary have knitted<br />

almost 100 garments for babies<br />

born at the Christchurch<br />

Women’s Hospital this year.<br />

Pat Edward, Debbie Woolf,<br />

Kathryn Tovgaard and Barbara<br />

Crooks began the project about<br />

four months ago, although the<br />

Ferrymead Rotary group has<br />

been providing knitted clothing<br />

to the hospital for some time.<br />

Kathryn has personally been<br />

knitting for the hospital for five<br />

years.<br />

Barbara said they intensified<br />

their efforts this year after<br />

receiving a call for help from the<br />

hospital.<br />

All babies born at the hospital<br />

are given a woollen hat at birth,<br />

while woollen singlets, matinee<br />

jackets and booties are available<br />

for mothers to take home.<br />

So far, the group has knitted<br />

more than 60 woolly hats, with<br />

Pat heading the count.<br />

The hats produced are a variety<br />

of different sizes and colours.<br />

Barbara said Ferrymead<br />

Rotary has funded some of the<br />

wool, but all of the knitters’ time<br />

is given voluntarily.<br />

They estimate up to seven<br />

hours goes into making each hat.<br />

Most of the knitting has been<br />

done individually, although the<br />

four have got together from time<br />

to time to share wool and<br />

swap notes.<br />

Acknowledging Rotary clubs<br />

used to be men only, Kathryn<br />

said: “People don’t necessarily<br />

connect Rotarians with knitting<br />

but anything is possible.”<br />

She said being a part of<br />

a Rotary club was a family<br />

tradition.<br />

“One thing I said a long time<br />

ago was that I always wanted<br />

to help out in the community<br />

throughout my life,” she said.<br />

“A group of people can do<br />

so much more than just an<br />

individual.”<br />

CHAMPION KNITTERS:<br />

Ferrymead Rotary’s Kathryn<br />

Tovgaard, Debbie Woolf, Pat<br />

Edward and Barbara Crooks<br />

have knitted almost 100<br />

garments for new babies,<br />

while Pat tries on a hat for<br />

size (above).<br />

Ferrymead Rotary community<br />

director Debbie Woolf said the<br />

club is also working on making<br />

singlets and booties for Plunket<br />

and supplying the Methodist<br />

Mission with bedding, jerseys,<br />

hats, scarves, gloves and shoes.<br />

The Mission gives these items,<br />

donated or sourced by Rotary<br />

members, to homeless people.<br />

The culinary talents of three<br />

award-winning Canterbury<br />

chefs will entertain guests at the<br />

Cancer Society Canterbury-West<br />

Coast Division’s fundraising<br />

dinner event Too Many Cooks<br />

on October 9.<br />

Appearing at the Majestic on<br />

Durham event space, guests will<br />

be treated to a delicious threecourse<br />

meal, with the added<br />

bonus of being able to watch the<br />

chefs preparing it live on stage,<br />

while the witty banter of MC<br />

Michele A’Court keeps everyone<br />

on their toes.<br />

Division manger for fundraising,<br />

communications and<br />

relationships, Heather Locke<br />

said they wanted to take the traditional<br />

fundraising dinner and<br />

add something special.<br />

“We approached Jimmy McIntyre<br />

(executive chef at Otahuna<br />

Lodge), Darren Wright (former<br />

head chef at Chillingworth<br />

Road) and Andrew Brown (former<br />

executive chef at the George<br />

Hotel) and they were delighted<br />

to be involved,” Locke said.<br />

During the evening an auction<br />

of rare and original items<br />

including a one-of-a-kind sculpture<br />

and a central city parking<br />

space for a year will be on offer.<br />

TALENTS: Otahuna Lodge<br />

chef Jimmy McIntyre is<br />

one of three award-winning<br />

Canterbury chefs preparing<br />

to entertain guests at the<br />

Cancer Society Canterbury-<br />

West Coast Division’s<br />

fundraising dinner event. ​<br />

“Each year, 500 New<br />

Zealanders receive the<br />

unwelcome news that they<br />

have cancer. But while cancer<br />

doesn’t stop for Covid, the recent<br />

lockdowns severely limited our<br />

ability to fundraise during the<br />

past 18 months.<br />

“The loss of the annual<br />

daffodil day appeal was a big<br />

blow to our fundraising efforts<br />

this year and for this reason,<br />

we are really hoping that<br />

Cantabrians will support this<br />

event,” she said.<br />
