CONFLICT: Naval Point is the only haulout available in the Christchurch
area for the owners of moored craft to remove their vessels from the
water. It has been out of action for a number of months and the club is
under significant pressure from a waiting list which is growing on a daily
basis.
Breakwater proposal
widely criticised
• From page 1
The club said it
cooperated with the
council to facilitate
preparatory groundwork
for SailGP by closing down
their haulout operation,
in spite of the fact that
the haulout provides
significant revenue to the
club.
The club has now had
feedback that the city
council will support
a commercial haulout
operator establishing a
facility on Lyttelton Port
Company ahead of the
club.
The city council has
offered a 12-month lease
to Naval Point with two
rights of renewal.
However, the club feels
the lease document and
length of tenure is not
satisfactory for them to
continue to invest in this
facility, and risks the
viability of the haulout
reaching a point that
the club must cease
it’s operation with no
alternative.
The other issue is the
breakwater proposed by
city council and currently
being considered by staff
was widely criticised by the
club.
“Our opinion, in
summary is that the
current proposal
creates such a
navigation hazard
that it creates
unnecessary and
unworkable risks
to our members
using the new
hand launching
ramp, and thus the
area would be better with
no wave attenuation at all
than the current proposal,”
said Matterson.
Naval Point say it needs
the following:
• For council staff to
put forward other options
for the wave attenuation
at Naval Point outside
of an obstructive, fixed
breakwater only benefiting
Tori Peden
the public, power craft
ramp.
• For council to
recognise the service and
effort that the club puts
into running a haulout
yard for the benefit of the
Canterbury maritime
industry, for no one’s
personal gain. The club
needs security of
tenure and honesty
about council’s
intentions, with
clarity as to the
expectations long
term.
• More proactive
communication
from council with
regard to the priorities
and objectives in the
development and our place
in that.
The board thanked
Matterson for his address
and chairwoman Tori
Peden said they appreciate
that the issues are ongoing,
that Naval Point is a big
development and they are
working through it.
