A POPULAR Māori carving<br />
at Cass <strong>Bay</strong> near Lyttelton was<br />
vandalised over the weekend.<br />
The statue, Kōauau o Tāne<br />
Whakapiripiri, is at Pony Point<br />
Reserve between Rapaki <strong>Bay</strong> and<br />
Cass <strong>Bay</strong> and is part of a popular<br />
walking track in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>.<br />
A post on Twitter included pictures<br />
of the destruction and said<br />
they were “absolutely furious and<br />
devastated to hear of this act of<br />
pointless vandalism at Cass <strong>Bay</strong>”.<br />
Police confirmed they have<br />
received a report of wilful damage<br />
to a pouwhenua and want<br />
to hear from anyone with any<br />
information.<br />
The pou was one of two that<br />
were gifted and installed in the<br />
Lyttelton area in 2012.<br />
Kōauau o Tāne Whakapiripiri<br />
was installed at Ōtūherekio and<br />
marks a modern boundary<br />
between Rāpaki territory and<br />
Kemp’s Deed – a post treaty<br />
document. It also marks where<br />
Māori called their guests onto<br />
the marae.<br />
The pou was carved by<br />

Carving Centre Trust in<br />
Lyttelton where the traditional<br />
Māori art of carving was taught.<br />
On installation the then deputy<br />
mayor Ngaire Button said that<br />
placing the pou “was a way of celebrating<br />
the goodwill and sharing<br />
between Pākehā and Māori that<br />
happened in early colonial times<br />
and this is a genuine bicultural<br />
acknowledgement of the histories<br />
of Christchurch and the harbour<br />
basin”.<br />

Last stage of cycleway<br />
gets the green light<br />
THE FINAL section of the<br />
Heathcote Expressway cycleway<br />
has been given the go ahead, with<br />
construction expected to start<br />
early next year.<br />
This section of the Heathcote<br />
Expressway is one of the Government’s<br />
‘shovel ready’ projects to<br />
stimulate the economy.<br />
The cycleway runs from the<br />
central city to Heathcote, via<br />
Woolston. The first part, from the<br />
central city to The Tannery, was<br />
completed in 2019.<br />
Last week the city council’s Urban<br />
Development and Transport<br />
Committee approved the route<br />
for the final section, from The<br />
Tannery to Heathcote.<br />
The committee agreed on a<br />
design that keeps the two-way<br />
access on the section of Cumnor<br />
Tce between Maunsell St and<br />
Chapmans Rd. The council had<br />
consulted on the possibility of<br />
making this section one-way.<br />
The committee also approved<br />
consultation on a 40km/h speed<br />
limit on Cumnor Tce alongside<br />
the cycleway.<br />
Urban Development and<br />
Transport Committee chair Mike<br />
Davidson said, “We’re already<br />
seeing cyclists enjoying the city<br />
end of the Heathcote Expressway<br />
cycleway and the Heathcote end<br />
of the route is another key part of<br />
our city-wide cycleway network.<br />
“We’re also keen to hear from<br />
the community on a 40km/h<br />
speed limit along Cumnor Tce,<br />
which would help to create a<br />
safer environment for everyone<br />
using the road or the cycleway by<br />
Ōpāwaho Heathcote river.”<br />
Both construction of the<br />
cycleway and consultation on the<br />
speed limit is expected to start in<br />
February. Construction will take<br />
about a year.<br />
