at Little River Farmers Market on 

Sunday. The event was held to help 

raise money for I AM HOPE, a youth 

and community-focused support 

group run by The Key to Life Charitable 

Trust. Gumboot tossing was popular 

amongst the kids, as well as a 

gumboot decorating and colouringin 

competition. Christchurch, North 

Canterbury and West Coast Gumboot 

Army event co-ordinator Kaitlyn Pike 

said the day was a success, with 78 

gumboot toss entries, 175 raffle tickets 

sold, four decorated gumboots and six 

coloured pictures. Little River Farmers 

Market donated its stall fees, raising 

$885 to add to a total of $1628, which 

included a raffle from late last year.

‘Stressful’ 

time as 

brigades 

try to 

separate 

fire crews 

• By Kristie Boland 

VOLUNTEER firefighters are 

planning how to cope with 

emergencies if their ranks are 

depleted by Covid-19. 

Nationwide, brigades are 

making operational changes to 

ensure there is 

no disruption 

to services 

while making 

sure Omicron 

doesn’t spread 

through the 

stations. 

Some brigades 

are splitting into 

two groups, but 

Andrew 

Norris 

for the Governors Bay Volunteer 

Fire Brigade, this is not an option. 

Chief Andrew Norris said splitting 

his crew in half would not 

work because the crew see each 

other daily. 

“For some brigades where the 

members live separate lifestyles 

and have different circles it will 

work, but for half our crew, they’re 

meeting everywhere else so splitting 

them at the station is just not 

really effective.’’ • Turn to page 5

No reopening date for road 

• By Chris Barclay 

SOME BANKS Peninsula 

residents effectively cut off 

since a wild weather event in 

mid-December have relocated to 

Akaroa as uncertainty continues 

over the restoration of their road 

to the outside world. 

Access to Goughs Bay has been 

limited since floods and slips 

made the road servicing the tiny 

rural settlement impassable 10 

days before Christmas. 

Although the city council and 

contractors Fulton Hogan are 

working to establish temporary 

access through properties to 

adjacent Paua Bay, residents 

have been critical of the recovery 

response. 

There are fears it could be at 

least a year before the road is 

reopened. 

In the meantime, long-term 

residents John and Carol Masefield 

depend on a quad bike and 

temporary access through a 

neighbouring property run by 

Lyndon Palmer to reach Akaroa 

and beyond. 

Palmer’s wife Sandie Stewart 

and two school-aged children 

have relocated to a rental property 

in Akaroa now classes are 

underway. 

Masefield appreciated the

frustrated about the status of 

Goughs Bay Rd. 

“All the other bays have 

got access in and out, even 

if the roads are not perfect, 

we’ve got nothing,” he said. 

Masefield spoke to city 

council staff last week, but a 

time frame for Goughs Bay 

Rd’s reinstatement was not 

forthcoming. 

However, Banks Peninsula 

councillor and deputy mayor 

Andrew Turner provided some 

clarity. 

He said the repair design has 

been approved for construction 

and discussions were underway

with a landowner impacted by

“We’re working through the 

legal requirements because 

the road will be built in a 

slightly different alignment 

which involves the use of 

private land. 

“I wouldn’t want to put 

a timeline on it, we should 

have a clearer idea of what 

needs to be done and how 

long it’s going to take in a couple 

of weeks. 

“We’ve moved as quickly as we 

can here. I appreciate residents 

are frustrated they don’t have 

that permanent road access,” 

Turner said. 

He said the temporary access 

for residents should be completed 

in a fortnight, weather permitting, 

while slips on Goughs 

Bay Rd should be cleared within 

a month. 

Turner revealed a review and 

“lessons learned” report was 

being compiled by council staff. 

“Then we’re keen to set up a 

meeting for affected residents 

to discuss what we did well and 

what we didn’t do well,” he said. 

Aspiring mayor Phil Mauger 

visited Goughs Bay last month 

and was critical of the initial 

council reaction, especially 

around communication with 

residents. 

Mauger did not return calls to 

Bay Harbour News this week.

In Brief 

CARBON COACH 

Helen Tulett has been appointed 

Lyttelton’s first ever Carbon 

Coach. The initiative is a part of 

the Sustainability Fund that was 

set up by city council last year 

to assist community action on 

climate change. The Sustainability 

and Community Resilience 

Committee approved $121,689 

in August for eight proposals 

aimed at reducing emissions 

and building resilience to local 

climate impacts. The city council 

supported Project Lyttelton with 

a $20,000 grant to establish a 

Community Carbon Coach to 

help households and businesses 

in Lyttelton reduce their environmental 

footprint.

a reticulated wastewater system, 

should the decision be made to 

do so. It also implied that ECan 

decided not to install such a

The Collector’s Daughter 

by Gill Paul 

From the internationally bestselling author comes a tale of long-buried secrets and a discovery that will 

change everything, perfect for fans of Dinah Jefferies and Lucinda Riley. 

An unforgettable discovery - In 1922, Lady Evelyn Herbert’s dreams are realised when she is the first to 

set foot inside the lost tomb of Tutankhamun for over 3,000 years. 

A cursed life - But the months after the discovery are marred by tragedy, when Eve’s father dies suddenly 

and her family is torn in two. Desperate to put the past behind her, Eve retreats into a private life with her 

new husband. 

A deadly choice - But she is harbouring a dark secret about what really happened in Egypt. And when 

a young woman comes asking questions years later, the happiness Eve has finally found is threatened 

once more… 

Wonderfully compelling from beginning to end. An absolute delight!’ Hazel Gaynor, author of The Bird in 

the Bamboo Cage. 

Becoming Forrest 

one Man’s epic run across america 

by rob Pope 

The remarkable true story of an unrivalled journey to recreate the greatest run in film history: 15,621 

miles, five-times across the United States. 

Becoming Forrest is the incredible story of Englishman Rob Pope, a veterinarian who left his job in pursuit 

of a dream – to become the first person ever to complete the epic run undertaken by one of Hollywood’s 

most beloved characters, Forrest Gump. After his momma urged him “to do one thing in life that made a 

difference”, he flew to Alabama, put on his running shoes, and sped off into the wilderness. 

His remarkable journey covered 15,600 miles, the distance from the North to the South Pole and a third 

of the way back. Over a grueling 18 months, braving injuries, blizzards, forest fires and deadly wildlife, 

he crossed the United States five times. During one of the most turbulent periods in recent American 

history, Rob immersed himself in American life. His time on the open road saw him forever changed, 

trying to make that difference, in the process of Becoming Forrest. 

This is a tale of one man who just wanted to make a difference. 

Words of Comfort 

Grief comes in all shapes and sizes. 

How to Find Hope 

by rebekah Ballagh 

Grief comes in many different forms. You may have lost a loved one, you may be experiencing 

a separation or relationship breakup, you may have had a major change in your life, you 

may be battling through health issues, you may have a friend or loved one who is grieving, or 

maybe you work with people experiencing grief. 

Whatever your reason, Words of Comfort is here to help. Treat it as a companion in your grief, 

an empathetic safe space and a beacon of hope. All of your feelings are welcome here. 

This book explores the experience of grieving and the emotions and thoughts that may surface. 

It offers strategies to help you navigate through your grief, and takes a look at some of the 

things we can learn from the journey. I hope you find some comfort in these pages. 

Magnifico!: The A to Z of Queen 

by Mark Blake 

The story of Queen is rich with anecdotes, trivia, humour and tragedy - accompanied by some of the 

best-known songs of all time. In this revealing profile, acclaimed biographer Mark Blake uses a unique 

‘A to Z’ approach to shed new light on the legendary band. With every entry aiming to celebrate, inform, 

entertain or amuse, Blake’s complete portrait covers not only the major hits and bestselling albums, but 

also the inside stories behind the music. Via a series of essays, lists and mini biographies, the author 

shares a wealth of lesser-known details - gained from over thirty years of original interviews - and 

explores what the songs of Queen say about their creators. The book’s format also allows it to take 

fascinating tangents, charting the places, characters and events that, often inadvertently, played a part 

in shaping the band and informing its music. Elsewhere, entries offer light-hearted trivia - from a list of 

LPs the band was listening to in 1970 to tales of the fifteen Jimi Hendrix gigs Freddie Mercury hitchhiked 

around the UK to attend - as well as serious analysis, including the truth behind Mercury’s funeral, which 

was effectively controlled by Queen’s management, and a reflection on the ways in which the flamboyant 

frontman confronted the twentieth century’s sexual mores and prejudices. Addressing the phenomenal 

success of Bohemian Rhapsody, while challenging the fictionalised account it sold to cinemagoers, 

Blake builds on the band’s enduring audience appeal in order to provide a fresh and unparalleled take on 

Queen’s music, story and legacy.

Visitor numbers drop 

at bayside museums 

• By Kristie Boland 

MUSEUM VISITOR numbers 

are dwindling with some 

museums seeing nearly half the 

amount of visitors compared to 

last year. 

Akaroa Museum visitor 

numbers are at 50-60 per cent 

of last year’s, with the month of 

January – usually the museum’s 

busiest – at less than 50 per cent. 

Less than 2500 people visited in 

January 2022, compared to 5000 

the previous January. 

Museum director Lynda 

Wallace said this may be due to 

the requirement of vaccination 

passes, along with people being 

cautious about travelling this 

summer. 

“Akaroa Museum’s experience 

is not unique. Other museums 

throughout the country, particularly 

in smaller centres, have also 

experienced 40-50 per cent drops 

in visitor numbers this summer,” 

Wallace said. 

Visitor numbers were down 40 

per cent at Okains Bay Museum. 

However, it was only open 114 

days compared to 357 in the 

2019-20 year. 

The museum reopened in 

October 2020 after a six-month

closure, under a new structure 

with reduced hours. 

Okains Bay Museum general 

manager Wendy Riley said: “Our 

2021 December numbers were 

slightly up on 2020 due to a new 

event bringing in additional and 

new visitors. 

“Christmas at the Museum was 

so successful we plan on making 

it an annual event.” 

Riley said this January was 

down 23 per cent on January 2021. 

February was likely to show 

a considerable reduction 

in numbers due to the 

cancellation of the Waitangi 

Day commemorations, which 

generally attract 1800-3000 

visitors, Riley said.

‘We’ve just got to 

try and do our best’ 

• From page 1 

Diamond Harbour 

Volunteer Fire Brigade chief 

Bob Palmer has found the 

changes stressful. 

Diamond Harbour now has 

two teams, one on day shifts 

and one on night shifts, and the 

crews are encouraged not 

to mix outside of their 

groups. 

“It’s actually quite 

stressful because it means 

that during the day and 

the night you have only 

half of your brigade 

that you can use and 

sometimes some of them 

are away or unwell so 

a bit of pressure on the 

troopies at the moment,” Palmer 

said. 

The Diamond Harbour 

brigade has a pool of about 21 

firefighters. Volunteers have to 

ensure all their data is up to date 

when they are available. 

“It’s quite stressful because 

you have to be right on the ball 

about who is available and who 

is not. It’s more of a constant 

thing,” Palmer said. 

“There’s usually a good pool 

to draw from but when you’re 

on half that strength it becomes 

a bit more stressful.” 

In the event of an emergency 

that required more numbers, 

Palmer said they had the option 

of calling on a neighbouring 

brigade. Or, if the whole brigade 

was needed, they would do their 

best to work separate from each 

other. 

“We’ve just got to try and do 

our best to keep our team safe 

from infection, it’s 

quite a difficult thing 

to do but we just do 

the best that we can,” 

Palmer said. 

Sumner and 

Lyttelton fire brigades 

are doing something 

similar. 

Chief fire officer 

for Sumner, Daryl 

Sayer, has split the 

team in two. 

Due to lower number 

availability during the day, 

the brigade cannot maintain 

separation for work hours callouts. 

“We ensure that precautions 

are taken like masking and 

distancing as much as possible. 

The down side is that half the 

brigade can’t train with the 

other half for the time being,” 

said Sayer. 

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire 

Brigade has split into two teams 

who are taking week about with 

separate training, said chief fire 

officer Mark Buckley.

Pharmacist drops the mortar 

and pestle to help fight fires 

In the second of our 

series on fire chiefs, 

reporter Kristie Boland 

talks to Sumner’s Daryl 

Sayer 

WHEN HIS pager activates, 

Redcliffs residents might catch a 

glimpse of their local pharmacist 

Daryl Sayer making the switch 

from pharmacist to firefighter. 

Sayer, 53, has spent almost 

three decades as a member of the 

Sumner Volunteer Fire Brigade – 

over half his life. 

Growing up in the small town 

of Foxton, he watched family 

friends be a part of the local fire 

brigade. 

“It appealed to me as a good 

way to become a part of the community 

you’re in,” Sayer said. 

He later made the move to the 

South Island where he studied to 

become a pharmacist at Otago 

University. 

In 1991, Sayer moved to Sumner 

and shortly after, joined the 

brigade. 

He started out learning the 

ropes and over the years has 

made his way up the ranks. 

“I started at the bottom and 

just expected to be one of the 

firefighters. I hardly expected to 

actually move up into leadership 

positions, it became a natural 

progression as time went on,” he 

said. 

He took a break from the 

brigade in 1994 and travelled 

overseas with his wife Catherine. 

They lived in the United Kingdom 

for a couple of years while 

Sayer managed a pharmacy in 

Kent. 

When they returned, he 

resumed his role as a firefighter, 

then, in 2014, he became the 

chief fire officer of the Sumner 

brigade. 

Being a volunteer firefighter is 

a very serious job but sometimes, 

Sayer said, they get to have a 

good laugh. 

HELPING OUT: A firefighter 

for 31 years at the Sumner 

Volunteer Fire Brigade, as 

well as a pharmacist, Daryl 

Sayer feels privileged to 

serve his community. 

PHOTOS: STAR MEDIA 

He recalled being called out 

to an elderly patient in cardiac 

arrest. When Sayer and his team 

arrived, the patient’s wife was 

administering chest compressions. 

Sayer asked the woman to stop so 

he could take over. 

“I did the usual: ‘Can you hear 

me?’ and surprisingly he said: 

‘Yeah, I can hear you’. I said: ‘Do 

you have any pain?’ He said: ‘Only 

where she’s been pushing on my 

chest’. I count that as a successful 

medical call, we had a good laugh 

after that one,” Sayer said. 

Sayer has been a pharmacist 

for 32 years, and he and 

Catherine own Redcliffs 

Pharmacy. The couple, who have 

been married for 30 years, have 

two daughters, Bridget, 24, and 

Megan, 22. 

His daughters have followed in 

their dad’s footsteps and became 

health professionals – Bridget 

a radiographer and Megan a 

pharmacist. 

Outside of the pharmacy 

and the fire brigade, Sayer likes 

to keep fit, walking on the 

beach and up in the hills. He 

also enjoys a game of golf on 

weekends. 

For Sayer, being a part of 

the fire brigade is all about the 

people, both in the brigade itself 

and in the community. 

“I’m privileged to be serving 

with a group of 20 other people 

here, but it’s also getting out 

into our community, and it’s the 

people in our community that 

come and thank us for what we 

do. It helps us see we can actually 

make a difference.” 

Sumner’s brigade is made up 

of a collection of people with 

diverse backgrounds and a range 

of professions. 

“Basically they’re all here for 

the same reason, that is the 

community, and it’s a great 

group of people to be working 

with,” Sayer said. 

It was the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes that really brought 

the brigade and the community 

together. 

“The earthquakes were a 

big moment in the life of the 

brigade and in my life. We 

encountered things that we’d 

never encountered before.” 

Sumner Fire Station faced the 

challenge of running without 

power or plumbing until the 

Defence Force, local tradies and 

the NZ Fire Service helped to 

get it back up and running as a 

standalone base. 

“It brought the members of 

the brigade together as a group 

but also brought the community 

closer to the brigade as well. 

They were very supportive of us, 

they brought us food and offered 

help, I think it was a big joining 

together.” 

Sayer doesn’t have a timeframe 

on how long he will remain the 

chief of the Sumner brigade, but 

said he will know when the time 

is right to pass on the job. 

“As long as I’m usefully 

giving back to this community 

and to the brigade then I will 

participate. 

“If I find that I’m not being 

useful, I try to get feedback from 

people and encourage them to let 

me know where my failings are. 

It would be nice to think that I 

can leave when things are still 

going well,” Sayer said.

Treasures from the past: 

A short history of ironing 

THE PRACTICE of using an 

application of heat to smooth 

fabrics goes back many centuries 

– in China, as early as 1 BC, 

metal pans filled with hot coals 

were used to remove creases and 

wrinkles. In Northern Europe 

sleek (or slick) stones, glass or 

wooden devices were used for 

the same purpose. 

“. . . shee that wanteth a sleekestone 

to smooth hir linnen, wil 

take a pebble . . .’’ (a woman with 

no sleekstone to smooth her linen 

will use a pebble) – John Lyly, 

Euphues and his England, 1580. 

A set of laundry 

irons in a hinged 

wooden box. It 

includes four irons 

and two handles. 

One iron is 

missing. The maker 

was the Enterprise 

Manufacturing Co, 

Philadelphia, date 

unknown. 

Baden Norris 

holding two 

laundry irons. 


Flat irons or sad irons were 

first made by blacksmiths in the 

Middle ages, (‘sad’ coming from 

Middle English, meaning ‘solid’, 

as they were made of cast iron) 

to keep a Lord and Lady looking 

sharp. By the late 19th and early 

20th centuries, a well pressed 

outfit denoted a social status 

desirable to many. There were 

many different types of flat iron, 

heated by either fire, charcoal, 

kerosene, ethanol, whale oil, natural 

gas, carbide gas (acetylene, 

as with carbide lamps), or even 

gasoline. 

This set of irons from the museum’s 

collection tells us a number 

of things about the history of 

ironing technology. As flat irons 

heated on a fire did not hold 

their heat indefinitely, a laundress 

(sic) required more than 

one in order to have one heating 

whilst another was in use. They 

were heavy and bulky, weighing 

anywhere from 2-4kg; originally 

with metal handles, they often 

caused scalds and burns. 

Hence it was that in the early 

1870s, an inventive young American 

woman, Mary Florence 

Potts, designed and patented 

the detachable wooden handles 

that you see in these examples. 

Her sensible inventions were exhibited 

at the 1876 Philadelphia 

Exposition World’s Fair and the 

1893 Chicago World’s Fair and 

became the most popular heavy 

metal irons in North America, 

Europe and as far away as the 

South Pacific. 

Advances in ironing technology 

continued in the ensuing 

decades – the electric iron was 

patented in 1882 by Henry W. 

Seeley. This was a significant 

breakthrough but it was still 

difficult to control the heat – 

thermostatically controlled irons 

were available from the 1920’s. 

Electrically charged steam 

irons, similar to contemporary 

designs, became popular in the 

1940s, the original concept credited 

to Thomas Sears. 

At the same time, many modern 

fabrics (developed in or after 

the mid-twentieth century) such 

as polyester and nylon do not 

require ironing at all, and what 

was once heavy and sometimes 

dangerous work is now light, 

quick and safe. 

The second photo shows the 

Museum’s founder, Baden Norris, 

holding two other irons from 

the collection. 

Te Ūaka The Lyttelton 

Museum has a number of 

different irons which are 

viewable on the website, 

however nothing like the 1300 

items in one of the largest 

international iron collections, 

held at Gochsheim Castle near 

Karlsruhe in Germany.

New Peugeot 208 in smart company 

PEUGEOT’S new 208 hatchback 

didn’t win the 2021 New Zealand 

Motoring Writers’ Guild Car of 

the Year Award. 

However, it was nominated 

and was up against some pretty 

tough competition, and that is 

worthy in itself. Incidentally, the 

trophy went to Hyundai’s fully 

electric Ioniq 5, which gives some 

idea of the calibre of cars that 

were amongst the 10 finalists. 

The 208 has just landed in New 

Zealand and is available in just 

two variants – that may seem a 

little underwhelming, but if you 

take into account one of those is 

a fully electric model then that is 

a car that is targeting an evergrowing 

market as buyers realise 

EVs look to be the way of the 

future. 

I drove the EV in December 

and formed the conclusion it is 

a car that fills its role well – the 

daily commute – and with its 

348km range between charges it 

will happily tackle a long highway 

haul. 

For those who are not yet ready 

to join the electric revolution 

Peugeot has also introduced the 

new 208 with its 1.2-litre threecylinder 

petrol engine which, 

incidentally, is pretty much a 

carryover. 

While that driveline is very 

familiar, the new 208 is a vastly 

different car, EV aside. For one, 

the new body style is dramatic, 

it is smooth and sweeping along 

with bold frontal treatment that 

looks quite aggressive, and it 

must be said it is hard to design a 

small car so that it looks perfect. 

The two model range lists 

at $38,990 for the petrol and 

$61,990 for the EV, the latter 

easily qualifying for the $8625 

Government rebate, an incentive 

to get people driving affordable 

EVs. 

The petrol model lists a lot 

of goodies for its price tag. You 

get leather-type trim, heated 

front seats, satellite navigation, 

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 

voice recognition, keyless entry 

and ignition, speed limiter and 

radar cruise control, the latter are 

part of a comprehensive safety 

suite. 

The look inside is very 

modern with sophisticated style 

elements and control functions. 

It impresses with its functionality 

yet quirky design features – take 

the steering wheel for example, 

it is squared off at the top and 

bottom which gives the interior a 

sporty look and feel. 

Elsewhere, toggle switches 

dominate the dash panel, there 

are many functions and they are 

STYLE: The smooth lines of the Peugeot 208 are contrasted 

by an aggressive grille and front bumper structure. 

PEUGEOT 208 GT: Three-cylinder petrol engine or the choice of electric power only. 

displayed on a dominant centre 

graphic panel. 

It must be remembered the new 

208 comes with a GT badge and 

the manufacturers have given it a 

sporty look through and through, 

take the twin exhausts for 

example, they are classy and they 

add to the look Peugeot is trying 

to encapsulate. 

Under the bonnet sits the 

wonderful 1199cc engine. It is 

a real gem in terms of honesty 

and thrift, three-cylinder 

engines develop a lot of natural 

torque low down which is what 

you want in any engine, and if 

you add in turbocharged boost 

then all the performance you 

need is on tap. 

In terms of figures, Peugeot 

claims power outputs of 96kW 

(5500rpm) and 230Nm, the 

latter available from just 

1750rpm, which translates to 

a constant delivery of power. 

For interest’s sake the 208 GT 

is also listed as GT130, the 130 

representing horsepower in 

imperial terms. 

The engine is coupled to a 

six-speed traditional automatic 

gearbox and it, too, is a real gem 

with smooth shifts and gearing 

that is well matched to the power 

output, drive thereafter is then 

channelled to the front wheels 

• Price – Peugeot 208 GT, 

$38,990 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4055mm; width, 

1745mm; height, 

1430mm 

• Configuration – Threecylinder, 

front-wheeldrive, 

1199cc, 96kW, 

230Nm, six-speed 

automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 8.3sec 

• Fuel usage – 6.3l/100km 

through driver-selectable modes 

– sport, economy or normal. 

The other figures to note are 

that of fuel consumption and 

performance. Peugeot list a 

6.3-litre per 100km combined 

cycle average which is a pretty 

bold claim, and my average was 

a little distant to that at 8l/100km 

when I took the car back to the 

dealership. 

There are several reasons 

for that, the evaluation car 

was showing just 40km on the 

odometer when I picked it up, the 

engine barely loosened up, the 

other was because the car was so 

new and a dealer demonstrator I 

didn’t travel for a long distance on 

the open road. 

I’m not arguing against 

Peugeot’s figures because I know 

they would be achievable; at 

100km/h the engine is sipping 

fuel at a rate of just 4.2l/100km 

instantaneously, if you are on 

a long journey and then tackle 

the inner-city traffic on the way 

home, that would average out to 

be around Peugeot’s claim. 

When presented with a 

corner or two the 208 has 

positive directional accuracy 

and a wonderful steering feel. 

It is surprisingly compliant 

underneath and that is a Peugeot 

hallmark, the balance between 

handling and comfort is far from 

compromised. 

Riding on beautiful Michelin 

tyres (205/45 x 17in) there is a 

constant delivery of information 

as to what the rubber is dong 

in relation to the road surface, 

ripples are readily absorbed and 

body balance in a corner is well 

controlled with little sway or 

uneven motion. 

You could say I was a little 

disappointed the 208 didn’t win 

the Car of the Year, it scored 

highly on my individual voting 

sheet, it is a car that has low 

running costs both petrol and 

electric, yet it still adds an 

element of fun and functionality.

Public Notice 

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS 

Application to extend the Lyttleton Harbour/Whakaraupō 

Mātaitai Reserve, Canterbury 

Pursuant to Regulation 17 of the Fisheries (South Island 

Customary Fishing) Regulations 1999, Te Hapū o Ngāti 

Wheke (Rāpaki) Rūnanga have applied to extend the Lyttleton 

Harbour/Whakaraupō Mātaitai Reserve. 

Proposed area 

The proposed extension covers all that area of South Island 

fisheries waters enclosed by a line: 

a) starting at a point on the mean high-water mark near the 

eastern extremity of Ōtokitoki / Gollans Bay at 43°35.950’S 

and 172°45.450’E; then 

b) proceeding along the mean high-water mark in a generally 

north-easterly direction to a point at Awaroa / Godley Head 

at 43°35.234’S and 172°48.535’E; then 

c) proceeding in a straight line in a south-easterly direction 

to a point on the mean high-water mark at Te Piaka / 

Adderley Head at 43°36.228’S and 172°49.566’E; then 

d) proceeding along the mean high-water mark in a 

generally south-westerly direction to a point near the 

eastern extremity of Deep Gully Bay at 43°37.092’S and 

172°46.147’E; then 

e) proceeding in a straight line in a north-westerly direction to 

the starting point. 

The approximate area of the proposed mātaitai extension is 

11.08 km 2 . 

Mātaitai do not affect private landowners’ land titles, or their 

ability to exercise resource consents for such things as taking 

water or extracting gravel or sand. Resource consents are 

managed under the Resource Management Act 1991. 

Consultation on the proposed Mātaitai Reserve extension 

Pursuant to Regulation 18, this notice invites written or 

electronic submissions from the local community on the 

application. The local community is defined as those persons 

who own land in the proximity of the proposed mātaitai reserve, 

or have a place of residence in the proximity of the proposed 

mātaitai reserve and have been in occupation for a cumulative 

period of no less than three months in the three consecutive 

years immediately prior to January 2022. 

Pursuant to Regulation 19(1), a further notice will be published 

to advertise a public meeting with the local community to 

discuss the application. The public meeting will be held in 

accordance with the COVID-19 Protection Framework. 

Further information about mātaitai reserves, including a map of 

this proposed mātaitai reserve extension and the application, is 

available on the Ministry for Primary Industries website (www. 

mpi.govt.nz/consultations), or by contacting Fisheries New 

Zealand at the below address. 

Submission process 

Submissions must be made by 5pm on Monday 28 March 

2022. 

Mātaitai Reserves 

A mātaitai reserve is an identified traditional fishing ground and 

is established for the purpose of customary food gathering. 

Mātaitai reserves are limited to fisheries waters and do not 

include any land area. 

Commercial fishing is banned within a mātaitai unless: 

• The applicants for the mātaitai request conditions that 

enable some commercial fishing to continue; and 

• The Minister for Oceans and Fisheries approves that Submissions are public information 

request. 

Fishing by the local community for recreational or customary 

purposes would only be affected if the Minister for Oceans and 

Fisheries subsequently approves a request from the Tangata 

Tiaki to make bylaws for fishing in the mātaitai. Bylaws apply 

only to the taking of fish, not to other activities such as land 

use, recreational activities such as boating or kayaking, or 

shipping channels. 

Mātaitai do not change the public’s ability to access areas of 

public land adjoining the mātaitai. Mātaitai also do not change 

any existing arrangements for access to private land.
