Production line to<br />
close at Sefton<br />
fibreboard factory<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
The two plumes of steam rising<br />
fromstacks at the Daiken New<br />
Zealand’s mediumdensity<br />
fibreboard (MDF)production<br />
facility at Sefton,willsoon become<br />
one.<br />
AproductionlineatDaikenNew<br />
Zealand’s mediumdensity<br />
fibreboard (MDF)production<br />
facility at Sefton,<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>,<br />
willcloseatthe endofthe month.<br />
The decision to retire theline,<br />
which has beeninproductionsince<br />
the factoryopened in 1975,follows<br />
Daiken announcingarestructure in<br />
May.<br />
Closing the line whichhas<br />
become difficulttomaintaindue to<br />
its age, comeswiththe loss of 40<br />
jobs. Nearlyall effected have<br />
alreadyleft the business through<br />
attrition.<br />
Asecond linewillcontinueto<br />
operate, in conjunctionwith<br />
Daiken’s sisterplantinSouthland.<br />
While thelinebeing retired still<br />
produces the ‘‘best MDF’’ in the<br />
world, which is prized in Japan,<br />
Daiken’s key customer,ithas failed<br />
to makeaprofitfor some years.<br />
Human resourcesmanager<br />
Vanessa Croft says whilethere is<br />
demandfor the productfrom the<br />
line —knowninthe industryas<br />
thick panel —other factories<br />
worldwideare able to use more<br />
sophisticated machinery and<br />
technology, making themmore<br />
responsive to the market, and with a<br />
wider array of technical<br />
specifications.<br />
‘‘I guess asimple analogy would<br />
be with photography–our lineis<br />
theequivalentofusingfilmand a<br />
darkroomversus digital.<br />
‘‘The quality is still exceptional,<br />
but inputcosts, freight and other<br />
constraintsmakeitnoncompetitive,’’<br />
she says.<br />
It was therefore ‘‘reluctantly’’<br />
agreed to retirethe line.<br />
‘‘ As a<strong>24</strong>/7,365 operation, it is a<br />
significantday whenaproduction<br />
linethathas been runningfor<br />
almost 50 years, must be turned off<br />
onceand forall.<br />
‘‘Wehave maintenance engineers<br />
who havespecialised in keeping it<br />
runningfor decades.<br />
‘‘Weare allverysorrythishas had<br />
to happen,and that we’ve alsohad<br />
to say goodbye to 40 valued<br />
workers,’’ saysMsCroft.<br />
Almost all those affected by the<br />
closure of theline,haveleftthe<br />
companyfor other jobs.<br />
The shut downhas also meant a<br />
reductioninits support teams, such<br />
as mechanics, electricians,sales<br />
and technicalstaff.<br />
The second line, whichwas<br />
installedinthe 1990’s, makes a<br />
clean, thinpanelwhichhas awide<br />
variety of applicationsand<br />
competes wellinAsia.<br />
Ms Croft saysDaikenismaking a<br />
lot of headway in broadeningits<br />
markets.<br />
‘‘Our amazing engineersand<br />
techniciansare applying allkinds of<br />

Steam plumes alocal landmark<br />
From Page 1<br />
The original Customwood produced in<br />
the factory was world class, because it<br />
was made from locally grown, whole log<br />
Radiata pine, which provides asuperior<br />
finish.<br />
According to The Leading Edge by<br />
Piers Maclaren: The Originating History<br />
of MDF in New Zealand, Radiata pine<br />
has features and characteristics that<br />
results in anaturally made premium<br />
product, highly prized internationally as<br />
awall and flooring product. The product<br />
was also renowned for innovations<br />
developed at the Ashley factory that<br />
made Customwood exclusively, a<br />
premium for many decades.<br />
The plant was officially opened by<br />
Robert Muldoon in May 1977. At the time<br />
it was <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s largest single<br />
employer and was the largest industrial<br />
development in the South Island since<br />
Tiwai. Its two plumes of steam quickly<br />
became afamiliar landmark for many<br />
travellers in <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>, even<br />
from the air.<br />
At the time it had over two thousand<br />
shareholders.<br />
When the first board was made, there<br />
were only 42 employees, now known as<br />
the ‘originals’ and the ‘first pioneers’.<br />
Ms Croft says there is still one on its<br />
books from the wellknown Lochhead<br />
family in Sefton.<br />
By all accounts, the originals were<br />
very productive despite the low<br />
headcount, simply because everybody<br />
got involved. The charismatic leaders<br />
such as Murray Sturgeon, ‘Doc’ Haylock<br />
and Tony MacGibbon chose to have their<br />
offices at the plant to be close to the<br />
action, dressed in overalls, and ‘mucked<br />
in’ when necessary.<br />
Staff were paid 10 percent above<br />
standard Union rates and paid good<br />
overtime.<br />
But probably more importantly, they<br />
felt like family, and spent alot of time<br />
socialising as well as working together.<br />

Benefits possible in planning<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />

Aregional approach to planning<br />
couldwork in <strong>Canterbury</strong>,says<br />
WaimakaririDistrict Council<br />
planning,regulationand<br />
environment managerTracy<br />
Tierney.<br />
She was responding to last week’s<br />
announcement by Environment<br />
Minister David Parker of proposed<br />
legislation to replace the Resource<br />
ManagementAct.<br />
The Natural and Built<br />
Environments and Spatial Planning<br />
Billswere introduced to Parliament<br />
last week,while athird piece of<br />
legislation, the Climate Adaptation<br />
Bill,isdue to be announced next<br />
year.<br />
Amongthe proposedchanges is the<br />
scrappingof100 district and regional<br />
plansand regional policy<br />
statements, which would be replaced<br />
by 15 regionalplans.<br />
‘‘There is alot to unpacktofully<br />
understand the implicationsofthis<br />
legislation, but on face value it is<br />
hardtoargue withplans to simplify<br />
planning in away that results in<br />
better environmental outcomes,’’ Ms<br />
Tierneysays.<br />
She believes aregionalapproach<br />
willbesupported in <strong>Canterbury</strong>.<br />
Before joining theWaimakariri<br />
District Council last year,Ms<br />
Tierneywas acouncillor and then<br />
environmentalservices manager at<br />
the Timaru District Council.<br />
The Greater Christchurch<br />
partners, Christchurch, Selwyn,<br />
Waimakaririand Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> are already working with<br />
central governmentinpreparinga<br />

‘‘The council will take sometime to<br />
formaview on these bills and will be<br />
puttinginasubmissionwhen public<br />
consultation opens,’’ Ms Tierney<br />
says.<br />
‘‘The long transition period may<br />
seemexcessive to some, but<br />
hopefullythis helps ensurethe<br />
legislation when operational<br />
delivers on its intent.’’<br />
In the meantime, the Waimakariri<br />
District Council willcontinue to<br />
work with its District Plan Review<br />
process.<br />

Move to NZ highlight of long life<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
Franz van derVelden<br />
immigratedtoNew Zealand<br />
from the Netherlands in 1968<br />
and has never returned to his<br />
denselypopulated homeland.<br />
Franz, who turned 100 on<br />
Thursday last week,visited<br />
New Zealand in 1963 withhis<br />
wife Maria on their<br />
honeymoon.<br />
The couple fell in lovewith<br />
New Zealand’s‘‘wideopen<br />
spaces,beautiful scenery and<br />
friendly people’’,and in 1968<br />
made the decision to<br />
immigrate heredespite<br />
neitherofthem speaking<br />
Englishatthe time.<br />
It is adecision neither has<br />
regretted.<br />
Franz says moving to<br />
Christchurch,beingable to buy<br />
ahome there and finding longterm<br />
employmentinthe city<br />
have been highlights in his life.<br />
His marriage to Maria tops<br />
that listofhighlightswith the<br />
birth of the couple's children,<br />
Alexander and Petra and their<br />
children,Brianna and Willem,<br />
next.<br />
Franz was borninMeerwijk<br />
castle,the family homein<br />
Empel, 'sHertogenbosch,<br />
(colloquially known as Den<br />
Bosch),on<strong>November</strong>18, 1922.<br />
His grandfather was a<br />
wealthyland owner and coal<br />
merchant during atime when<br />
coal was apremiumfuel.<br />
Franz’s father Nico,who was<br />
the only person in the area who<br />
had adriver'slicence,<br />
transported coalfor the family<br />
business, the StoneCoal<br />
Company.<br />
Franz was educatedin<br />
'sHertogenbosch, attending<br />
primary and secondary school<br />
there before studying at the<br />
Maritime Academy in<br />
Rotterdam.<br />
During World War II Franz<br />
Franz van der Velden<br />
worked at homehelping his<br />
family withharvesting on their<br />
farm.<br />
At one point during the war<br />
his family was forced to leave<br />
theirMeerwijkhome and seek<br />
refuge in the nearby<br />
countryside for several weeks<br />
wherethey livedonpotatoes<br />
growing on the landand used<br />
hay bales for shelter.<br />
It was adifficulttime for the<br />
family butreturninghome to<br />
Meerwijk after the war finding<br />
theirfamilyhomehad been<br />
severelydamaged and looted<br />
was alsoalow point.<br />
At the end of the war Franz<br />
worked for several months as a<br />
telegraphist at the Post Office<br />
before joining KLM Airlines<br />
where he stayed for 20 years,<br />
first as atelegraphist and then<br />
joiningthe groundcrew.<br />
When Franz and Maria<br />
moved to Christchurch with his<br />
mother Elizabeth,they joined<br />
his brother Henk van der<br />
Velden and sisterinlawTony<br />
who had immigrated to New<br />
Zealandin1952. Frank initially<br />
worked as aharvester and a<br />
painterbefore being offered a<br />
job at the Sunshine Bread<br />
factoryinMarshland, where he<br />
remained for 22 years untilhis<br />
retirement at 65.<br />
The couple stayed in<br />
Christchurch for 47 years in<br />
the samehome, beforemoving<br />
to Rangiora four years ago to<br />
be closer to Petra. During their<br />
marriage Franz has puthis<br />
significant carpentry and<br />
handymanskills to gooduse.<br />
Petrasays her father was<br />
always ‘‘pottering aroundin<br />
his garage’’ building furniture<br />
for the home such as cabinets,<br />
wardrobes and beds, but also<br />
otherthingslike dolls houses<br />
and rabbitcages.<br />
He took up stainedglass<br />
leadlighting for severalyears,<br />
has also been akeen fisherman<br />
and is atalented musician.<br />
‘‘He is very musical and<br />
played several instruments,<br />
including his favourites,the<br />
pianoand the accordion but he<br />
also played the clarinet and<br />
saxophone,’’ Petra says.<br />
‘‘There wasn'taday that went<br />
past thathecouldn't be heard<br />
tinklingthe ivories or playing<br />
the accordion.’’<br />
Franzhas passedhis love of<br />
musicontoPetra, whoisa<br />
musicteacherinRangiora.<br />
‘‘When he visits my place, he<br />
will still play on my piano,’’she<br />
says.<br />
Although Franz was ableto<br />
drivehis car up untilthe<br />
middle of last yearheis<br />
disappointed that hisfailing<br />
eyesight nowprevents him<br />
from doingthat.<br />
Franzhas seen many<br />
changes in his long life. The<br />
introduction of electric<br />
lighting, compared to the<br />
petroleumlamps used when he<br />
was growing up, is one of the<br />
most significant changes,he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Theintroduction of<br />
technology, air travel<br />
becoming so easily and widely<br />
accessible to all,the wide use<br />
and ownership of motor<br />
vehicles and the advances in<br />
medicine, have been others.’’<br />

River access<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
(ECan) plans to make a<br />
section of the Ashley<br />
Rakahuri River more<br />
accessible.<br />
Adraft masterplan is<br />
being developed for the<br />
Rangiora Reach riverside<br />
area following feedback<br />
from the community.<br />
Key stakeholders<br />
including NgāiTūāhuriri,<br />
the Ashley Rakahuri<br />
Rivercare Group and the<br />
Waimakariri District<br />
Council have all<br />
contributed.<br />
ECan’s braided river<br />
revival regional lead, Greg<br />
Stanley, says the draft<br />
masterplan will help to<br />
revive recreation,<br />
biodiversity and flood<br />
protection.<br />
‘‘We understand how<br />
much the community<br />
values this area, so we are<br />
working with them to make<br />
sure their voice is heard.<br />
Population growth has<br />
led to new forms of<br />
recreation being<br />
developed, placing<br />
pressure on the river and<br />
its ecology, he says.<br />
The masterplan covers<br />
the area from Dunlops<br />
Road to Beatties Road on<br />
the north bank near Ashley,<br />
and Merton Road to Smarts<br />
Road on the south bank<br />
near Rangiora.<br />
Feedback from the<br />
community includes<br />
designing aCones Road<br />
area car park to improve<br />
access and increase<br />
amenities such as rubbish<br />
bins and toilets.<br />
Improved trail network<br />
maps, shared trail signage<br />
and other directional<br />
panels have been included,<br />
along with different grades<br />
of greystone chip to show<br />
different uses for trails<br />
across the network.<br />
Specific fourwheeldrive<br />
access on the northern side<br />
of the river has been<br />
identified.<br />
The masterplan balances<br />
planting and flood<br />
management, by using<br />
native planting which will<br />
fold over in aflood and not<br />
hinder flow capacity.<br />
ECan staff are also<br />
looking at ways the river<br />
can be widened without<br />
compromising flood and<br />
erosion protection.<br />
Options include targeted<br />
extraction of vegetated<br />
berm and potential retreat<br />
of forestry blocks from the<br />
river's edge after<br />
harvesting.<br />

Kayaking will be included for the first<br />
time in the annual Oxman multisport<br />
event in Eyrewell, near Oxford.<br />
The event this Sunday, <strong>November</strong> 27,<br />
is alongcourse triathlon incorporating<br />
arange of race options to suit athletes of<br />
all ages and abilities, event director<br />
John <strong>News</strong>om says.<br />
‘‘As well as our longcourse triathlon/<br />
duathlon/aquabike (swim/bike) we have<br />
amini OxMan, ajunior OxMan for 1016<br />
year olds, akids duathlon for 59 year<br />
olds and runonly options over 21km and<br />
7km distances for teams and<br />
individuals.’’<br />
Kayaking, which is limited to 25<br />
competitors, will provide yet another<br />
option and can also be done by<br />
individuals or teams.<br />
It is being trialled but the hope is, it<br />
will provide agood training option for<br />
people preparing for the CoasttoCoast<br />
multisport challenge from Kumara to<br />
Christchurch on February 11 next year.<br />
OxMan has been held annually at<br />
Geoff and Rochelle Spark’s dairy farm<br />
on South Eyre Rd, since 2019.<br />
It has previously been held during the<br />
second weekend of December, but this<br />
year it is on two weeks earlier to avoid a<br />
clash with December 10’s Iron Man New<br />
Zealand which was postponed earlier<br />
this year because of the Covid19<br />
pandemic.<br />
Entries are slightly down on previous<br />
years and John says this could be due to<br />
John <strong>News</strong>om<br />
‘‘Covid concerns, the credit crunch and<br />
so many other events going on.’’<br />
However, it is once again receiving a<br />
lot of support from the <strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
community.<br />
Oxford Lions are helping out with a<br />
food truck on the day, and local schools<br />
will be doing marshalling work.<br />
Although some of the big name<br />
national athletes will not be competing<br />
at OxMan this year ‘‘all the local elite<br />
athletes will be there’’, John says.<br />
Farmstrong, aprogramme launched in<br />
2015 to help farmers, growers and their<br />
families, will benefit from this Sunday’s<br />
OxMan with asmall part of the entry fees<br />
going towards the scheme.<br />

By JOHN COSGROVE<br />
EveryWednesdayeveningfor acoupleof<br />
hoursfrom 6pm, Mike Dyndul opens the<br />
Waimakariri Bike Project (WBP) doorsat<br />
the back of the Dudley Pool complex,and<br />
is inundated by people seeking his help.<br />
‘‘TheWBP is alocal community<br />
initiativeaimedathelping people get out<br />
riding again,’’ he says.<br />
‘‘Basicallywerecycleold preloved<br />
bikes, donate them to peoplewho need<br />
them and also helpothers fix theirbikes so<br />
they can keep riding safely.’’<br />
Mike,the project coordinator, saysmost<br />
nights they are busyasthere are always<br />
people coming downtohelp out, help<br />
others, donateold bikes,find abike or just<br />
learnhow to fix theirbikes.<br />
‘‘Last week, ablokecame down and<br />
askedusfor abike as he neededone to<br />
help him getajob, we wereonly too<br />
pleased to help with abike and get him set<br />
up, especially when we learned he had<br />
walked eight kilometres to get to us.’’<br />
The project tries to supplyanyonewho<br />
needsabike.<br />
‘‘They are freewithnostringsattached<br />
and no questions asked.Wealso gladly<br />
take in any old bikes peoplehave lying<br />
around and have no further use for<br />
because they're eitherbroken, or the kids<br />
have growntoo big forthem.<br />
‘‘We thentidy them up if we can and pass<br />
them on for others to use,’’hesaid.<br />
At the recent Big Day Out event in<br />
Rangiora, the WBP gave away30bikes.<br />
‘‘We usedupall our stockonthat day<br />

replace them as the demand is still there,’’<br />
Mike said.<br />
Mike, who works locally as acycle safety<br />
trainer for schools, joined the project a<br />
month after it started ayear ago as a<br />
collaboration between many community<br />
groupsand the Waimakariri District<br />
Council.<br />
The idea for acommunitybasedcycle<br />
project originatedfrom theGovernment’s<br />
MentalHealth WorkingGroup report,<br />
which identified repairing bikes as away<br />
of teaching young people new skills,<br />
improvingconfidence and giving theman<br />
affordable mode of transport. Mike saysit<br />
also reduces waste by ‘‘taking bikes from<br />
landfill and givingthemanotherlife’’.<br />
He said all the spare parts they use<br />
eithercome from parts stripped off<br />
unusable bikesordonations fromthe ‘very<br />
generous’ cycle shops in Rangiora.<br />
‘‘They've helpedusout immensely, we<br />
are very gratefulfor their support.<br />
‘‘Whenweget abike, it’s assessed on its<br />
repairability.<br />
‘‘If it’s good, thenwehave many<br />
volunteershere who will work to fix it up<br />
and pass it on. If it isn’tusable, we<br />
carefully removewhat sparepartswecan<br />
reuse and recycle the rest.<br />
‘‘Thisgivesusthe stockofspare partswe<br />
need to keep all the other older model<br />
bikesgoing.’’<br />
Anyone with old bikes lying aroundcan<br />
call Mikeon021 0294 7597 to help get<br />
someone mobile.<br />
The WBP is alsoplanning on holding<br />
bike maintenance coursesnext year to<br />
help peoplemaintain their bikes.<br />

Mixing up renewable energy at bakery<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Rangiora Bakery is operating on 100%<br />
renewable energy after 820 solar panels<br />
were installed on the roof of its central<br />
Rangiora premises.<br />
The panelsare providing 25% of its<br />
energyneeds, whilethe remaining 75% is<br />
being sourced in partnershipwith<br />
MainPower, from the KakarikiPower<br />
Scheme—asmall hydro dam near Mt<br />
Hutt.<br />
The project, completed in September,<br />
is one of the largest ever under taken by<br />
ChristchurchbasedFreshStart<br />
Electrical.<br />
Rangiora Bakery owner Ron van Til<br />
says he is always looking for<br />
opportunitiestoimprovethe<br />
environmental footprint of his 160yearold<br />
business.<br />
Solar panelswere the nextlogical step<br />
after the installation of ebike chargers<br />
at the bakery entrance lastyear.<br />
‘‘The installation of our freeebike<br />
chargers increased our power usage, so<br />
we thought‘how can we offset thatcost?’.<br />
Solar energywas the obviousanswer.’’<br />
It is hoped the panels will produce<br />
more that what’s needed as summer<br />
approaches.<br />
The initial solar panel outlaywas<br />
about halfamillion dollars, but Mr van<br />
Til expected the return on investment to<br />
take onlysix years, compared to the<br />
average household payback of 1214<br />
years.<br />
‘‘It is alarge initialoutlay, but asixyear<br />
payback is agood return. The<br />
panelsalso come with a25year<br />
guarantee and after those 25 years it’s<br />
expected that the panels will lose only<br />
around15% of theirefficacy. This is a<br />
good wearing asset.’’<br />
As supplierstoseveral multinational<br />
companies, Rangiora Bakery is required<br />
to be an environmentally responsible<br />
organisation, and is audited annually on<br />
this basis.<br />
Throughaudit,todate, the business<br />
has been earmarked as one of the<br />
leadingcompanies taking action on<br />
climatepositive initiatives.<br />
‘‘Lots of businessestalk about going<br />
green, but we choose to actually take the<br />
steps required to implement these<br />
initiatives.<br />
‘‘Whileweare required to investigate<br />
these opportunities as partofour<br />
multinationalcontracts, thereisalso a<br />
level of socialresponsibility here which<br />
we takeseriously.’’<br />
Mr van Til said other businesses<br />
considering the shift to solar energy<br />
should definitely consider it.<br />
‘‘MainPower was fantastic to work with<br />
and theyare keen to do more solar<br />
installationsin<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong>. In<br />
addition, there are local<strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> businessesproviding solar<br />
installation,soyou can support local all<br />
the way.’’<br />
Mr van Til says there are no<br />
Governmentsubsidies he is aware of to<br />
help businesseswith the investment,but,<br />
some installation companies will offera<br />
lease and buyback typeofsetup,easing<br />
the initialcost outlay.<br />
Rangiora Bakery isn’tthe first largescale<br />
business in Waimakariritoinvest<br />
in solar power.Misco Joinery installed<br />
535 panels on its factoryroof in Kaiapoi<br />
in 2019.<br />
At the time, it was the largest solar<br />
energy systemin<strong>Canterbury</strong>.The system<br />
provides up to 70% of the energy<br />
requirements for Misco Joinery’s<br />
showroom and workshop, which is the<br />
Powering on ... The solar panels on the roof of the Rangiora Bakery, High Street,<br />
Rangiora.<br />

largest automated plantinthe South<br />
Island.<br />
MiscoJoinery’s Penny Abell says the<br />
installation has proven valuable to the<br />
business.<br />
‘‘In our showroomwehave screens<br />
that show how many trees we have saved<br />
and our reduced carbonemissions<br />
through the use of solar energy.This is a<br />
greattalking pointwith clients, but also<br />
showsusthe impact we are having.’’<br />
Pennysays the nextclimatefriendly<br />
addition to the business will be an EV<br />
charging point which will run on the<br />
solar energygenerated by the panels.<br />
In addition, Misco Joineryisinthe<br />
process of gaining its Toitu Enviromark<br />
Certification; an accreditationwhich<br />
requires ongoing efforts and audits to<br />
reach and maintainacredible<br />
environmental management system.<br />
‘‘For any business thinkingabout<br />
investing in solar energy, we would say<br />
go for it. It has many benefits.’’

Dotterel facing multiple threats<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Kaikōura conservationist Ailsa McGilvary<br />
Howardbelieves it willtake achangein<br />
legislation to save our native seabirds.<br />
Ms McGilvaryHoward has spent the last<br />
decadeadvocatingfor Kaikōura’sbanded<br />
dotterel sea birds and is atrustee of the<br />
Hutton’s Shearwater Charitable Trust.<br />
She says the dotterel face multiple<br />
threats including cats, dogs,fourwheeldrive<br />
vehicles on the beach and crash<br />
landing due to streetlighting.<br />
‘‘People just don’t seemtocare, so what<br />
we need is achange in legislation,<br />
otherwise we willlose them and we are<br />
losingthem.’’<br />
Anesting site which she monitors had 25<br />
pairs of dotterelafew years ago, but this<br />
numberhas reducedtojust 11 breeding<br />
pairs.<br />
‘‘We had two domesticcats go absolutely<br />
rampant recently. It was reallydepressing,<br />
but we can’tdoanythingabout catsand<br />
then we get dogs on the beach.And do<br />
peopleneed to drive on the beach?’’<br />
Ms McGilvaryHoward says peopleoften<br />
assumeshe hatesanimals, but she has a<br />
dog of her own.<br />
‘‘I am an animal lover too,but my dog is<br />
not allowed to eatchickens.’’<br />
Part of the problemisthere are few<br />
mammals native to New Zealand, so the<br />
dotterelhas not naturally evolved with<br />
mammalpredators like birds in other<br />
countries.<br />
‘‘The New Zealand dotterels and other<br />
sea birds are smelly and some of the most<br />
tasty,which draws in cats and dogs,’’ she<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Thatiswhy birds introduced from<br />
Australia are doing well, becausethey had<br />
marsupials which is aform of mammal.’’<br />
Added to the lossofbreedingpairsisthe<br />
lack newborn dotterel chicks, as eggs are<br />
often crushed or eaten.<br />

Keith would describe<br />
his younger self as<br />
definitely a‘man’sman’.<br />
Work hard, play harder<br />
and ‘shake it off’ if need<br />
be. Looking back Keith<br />
realised that those early<br />
hay days were great.<br />
“I loved being out<br />
on the footy field. Big<br />
tackles, sprinting from<br />
ruck to ruck and then<br />
back again, pushing<br />
hard on the side of the<br />
scrum; nothing like abit<br />
of healthy competition to<br />
get the blood pumping.”<br />
Alifetime of exercise,<br />
agood diet and making<br />
sure that he wore knee<br />
supports, Keith lived<br />
fairly well. However for<br />
Keith, although health<br />
is key, hehas still gone<br />
through the normal day<br />
to day of a physically<br />
demanding job.<br />
An old footy mate<br />
asked one day if he had<br />
tried Koru FX from Koru<br />

Whenchicks are close to hatching they<br />
chirp, making them vulnerable to<br />
predators.<br />
‘‘Cats are intrigued by the chirp and they<br />
comeand play with it.’’<br />
Whenfaced withthese threats, it all gets<br />
too hard and adultdotterels will often<br />
abandon theirnest.<br />
‘‘A clutch of eggs, which is three eggs,is<br />
halfofthe body mass of afemale,soifshe<br />
leaves the nest it is ahuge investment<br />
lost.’’<br />
Ms McGilvaryHoward completed aselffunded<br />
project, the Banded Dotterel Study,<br />
six years ago and has long been fascinated<br />
by the birds.<br />
‘‘Ifyou spend time lookingatthe birds<br />
you realise they are intelligent, but you<br />
can’t tame themand we wouldn’t want to<br />
cream to support their<br />
joints and muscles.<br />
“I said Iwould give it<br />
ago, so he threw me a<br />
bottle.”<br />
Koru FX cream by Koru<br />
Nutrition has become<br />
NZ’s#1joint and muscle<br />
support cream. With over<br />
two and ahalf thousand<br />
5star reviews, Koru FX<br />
is showing itself to be a<br />
favourite in many New<br />
Zealand households<br />
“It smelt good, and<br />
felt great. It is just nice<br />
to go about my day, be<br />
it carrying every bag of<br />
shopping in for my wife<br />
in one go, off to aqua<br />
aerobics and swimming<br />
or just larking about;<br />
Koru FX gives me the<br />
confidence I need, to<br />
continue to live anactive<br />
life.”<br />
tame them. Ilike the way they have<br />
perfectlyevolved within aniche. Theyare<br />
really resourceful.’’<br />
It has been thoughtthe birds mate for<br />
life,but recent studiessuggestitisnot<br />
always the case.MsMcGilvaryHoward’s<br />
observations have found apair willshare<br />
the tasks of makingthe nest, gathering<br />

Otherthreats to the birds include storm<br />
events, earthquakes and climate change.<br />
She sayswithouthuman intervention the<br />
dotterel willlikely become extinct and she<br />
wouldlike to see theirnesting areasmade<br />
into reserves with restricted access.<br />

<strong>2022</strong> local government elections.<br />
But it faced abacklash after lobby<br />
group Hobson’s Pledge distributed<br />
pamphlets, whichled to areferendum<br />
where the proposal was defeated.<br />
Mana whenua representation was back<br />
on the agenda last year, butthe council<br />
opted not to create aMaori ward after<br />
extensive consultation with Te Runānga<br />
oKaikōura.<br />
‘‘We work really closely with the<br />
runānga,’’ Mr Doughty says. ‘‘When the<br />
opportunity for Maori representation<br />
came in we had aworkshop with the<br />
runānga around Maori wards.<br />
‘‘It wasn’t a‘no’, but a‘not right now’.’’<br />
He says there are still anumber of<br />
unanswered questions, especially<br />
around the speed of the process. The<br />
council meetsregularly with the runānga<br />
to discussissues of concern andthe<br />
partnership is important to both parties,<br />
he says.<br />
‘‘We have been looking at thepotential<br />
for advisory committees and the review<br />
process will give us achance to have<br />
another look. But we are also conscious<br />
that there are quite alot of demands<br />
being put on the runānga,soitisabout<br />
working together in partnership in away<br />
that works best for both of us.’’<br />

Kaiapoi PromotionschairMartin<br />
Pinkham says it was guttingwhen last<br />

protocols, particularly as it had run for<br />
about70years.<br />
‘‘I think theremay have been one year<br />
during World War II that it was cancelled,’’<br />
he says. Support is pouring in for the Santa<br />
parade, and over 100 stallholders are<br />
attending.<br />
‘‘It is huge. It will be good to see everyone<br />
buzzingabout and enjoying what’s on<br />

An advertising campaign with NZME has<br />
helped raise awareness, and The Hits<br />

Three Waters funding sought<br />
By DAVID HILL<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
The Waimakariri District Council will seek<br />
ThreeWaters funding, while maintaining<br />
its opposition to the proposed reform.<br />
Councillorsvoted unanimously at an<br />
extraordinary meeting on Tuesday,<br />
<strong>November</strong> 22, to authoriseafunding<br />
application to the Department of Internal<br />
Affairs (DIA) for $5.54 million of ‘‘Better<br />
Off’’funding.<br />
The application was approved with the<br />
insertion of clausesinto the draft funding<br />
agreementdesignedtoprotect thecouncil’s<br />
opposition the government’s proposed<br />
reform programme.<br />
The clauses wereprepared by law firm<br />
Anderson and Lloyd and protect the<br />
council’s membershipoflobby group<br />
Communities 4Local Democracy.<br />
MayorDan Gordonsaid the funding was<br />
agood opportunity for the council to<br />
completesome projects which it would<br />
otherwise not be able to do in the short<br />
term.<br />
The original draft agreementfrom DIA<br />
contained clauses whichappeared to<br />
prevent councilsfrom opposing the reform<br />
agenda.<br />
‘‘They are apparently standard wording<br />
in DIA agreements, so perhaps theyhaven’t<br />
been read closely enough in the past,’’ Mr<br />
Gordon said.‘‘Butthe clauses from<br />
Anderson and Lloyd havepreserved our<br />
principles around Three Waters.’’<br />
Waimakariri District Council strategy,<br />
engagement and economic development<br />
general manager Simon Hart said initial<br />
indications fromDIA staffsuggested the<br />
new clauses may not be acceptable to DIA.<br />
‘‘We sought some advice and we were<br />
givenseveral options, we couldproceed as<br />
planned with the newclauses,orwecould<br />
delete the offendingDIA clauses, we could<br />
just go with the standard agreementornot<br />
proceed at all.’’<br />
Mr Hartsaid the recommendation was to<br />
proceed with the newclauses ‘‘andwecan<br />
always revisit it, if it is rejected’’.<br />
Should the application be successful,the<br />
council will place afocus on climate<br />
change projects.<br />
Elderly persons’ housing, the Kaiapoi to<br />
Woodend cycle way, the Rangiora civic<br />
precinct project and aKāinga Nohoanga<br />
Strategy projectinMaori Reserve 873 were<br />
also included.<br />
Cr Philip Redmond saidhewas initially<br />
going to oppose the funding application,<br />
but changedhis mind on the basis of the<br />
new clauses being inserted.<br />
An assurance from Opposition Three<br />
Waters Spokesperson Simon Watts that<br />
National would not require the money to be<br />
repaid, shoulditwin nextyear’selection,<br />
had alsohelped to sway his vote.<br />
‘‘Weare effectivelyreceiving adeposit<br />
towards our assetsand evenifwe were to<br />
turnthis payment downwewon’t<br />
necessarilylose it, if there is no change of<br />
government.<br />
‘‘But if we don’t acceptitnow and there<br />
is achange of government, the money<br />
probably wouldn’t be offered again.’’<br />
The WaimakaririDistrict Councilis<br />
eligible for up to $22.18 million of ‘‘Better<br />
Off’’ funding, includingupto$5.54 million<br />
in the first tranche.<br />
The ‘‘Better Off’’ funding is for afiveyear<br />
programmeand projects wouldbesubject<br />
to finalapproval fromthe council’s utilities<br />
and roadingcommittee and will likely be<br />
consideredaspart of the council’s annual<br />

By DAVID HILL<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong>'s (ECan)<br />
councillors expressed their individual<br />
commitments to workfor the environment<br />
at the first ordinary meetinglast week.<br />
The environment, climate change, water<br />
quality, public transport,mana whenua<br />

‘‘Our rivermanagement transition from<br />
the status quo ‘protection philosophy’ to a<br />
climate adaptive multivalues approach<br />
requires urgent actioninthe faceof<br />
increased frequency and intensity of storm<br />
events.’’<br />
Cr Edge said he believed integrating aTe<br />
Ao Māori indigenousworld viewinto<br />

Tangata Whenuaand Tangata Tiriti values<br />

sentiments when he announced legislation<br />

‘‘Te Oranga oTeTaiaoplaces greater<br />
emphasis on understanding the<br />
interconnectionsbetween different parts of<br />
the environment, including people.’’<br />
Cr Greg Byrnes spoke of his ‘‘love’’ for the<br />
environment, while Cr Joe Davies reflected<br />
on <strong>Canterbury</strong>’s early settlers who landed<br />
at Lyttelton in December 1850.<br />
NgāiTahu councillor Iaean Cranwell<br />
Cr Grant Edge<br />

Baptism by fire at Coastal Park<br />
By SHELLEY TOPP<br />
TuhaitaraCoastalPark’snew senior<br />
ranger Deane Barlow had asharp<br />
reality check duringhis firstfew<br />
weeksinto the job.<br />
The former Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> rangerbegan work at the<br />
park on October 17, but was faced with<br />
an emergency only afew weeks later<br />
when the Pegasus Beach fire, which<br />
was startedbyfireworks,badly<br />
damaged large areas of the park.<br />
‘‘It was avery worrying timefor us,<br />
as we had no idea what the scaleofthe<br />
fire was going to be,’’ Deane says.<br />
‘‘Oursmall team put in amassive<br />
effort to get up to speed, attend<br />
callouts at various hours, and keep on<br />
top of hot spots.<br />
‘‘I would liketothankeveryone<br />
involved on thefire ground, FENZ<br />
(Fireand EmergencyNew Zealand),<br />
the aircrew for all theirhard work<br />
containing the blaze, and the<br />
communitywho provided food and<br />
refreshments to all involved,and<br />
everyonewho came together to<br />
support the effortsofthe team,’’ he<br />
says.<br />
‘‘That support has beenvery<br />
uplifting and we can’t wait to work<br />
alongside everyonetoreturn the park<br />
back to an amazing place again.’’<br />
Work hasalready begunonthe<br />
recovery programme.<br />
‘‘We are looking forward to the<br />
opportunities the fire has given us<br />
whilenot forgettingthe time and<br />
effort that has been lost due to the<br />
fire,’’ Deanesays.<br />
‘‘There is still much discussion to be<br />
had with what is ultimately going to<br />
happen with the forestry trees, and<br />
that will againadd more options.’’<br />
Before acceptinghis new roleDeane<br />
had workedalongside GregByrnes,<br />
general manager of the Te Kōhaka o<br />
Tūhaitara Trust, administratorsofthe<br />
park,and alsoanewlyelected<br />
Environment <strong>Canterbury</strong> councillor,<br />
doingbeach patrols from Kairaki to<br />
Waikuku.<br />
‘‘I was attractedtothe role by Greg’s<br />
passion for Tuhaitara Coastal Park<br />
and the chance to be apart of the<br />
amazing teamand communityof<br />
people who put such ahuge effortinto<br />
restoringthis special place, Deane<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Greg has reallypavedthe way with<br />
the restoration workofTutaepatu<br />
Lagoon, the wetlands, native plantings<br />
and getting this place into alovely<br />
public asset for all to enjoy,soIhope<br />
to continuethat great work and build<br />
the team's capabilities in all areas,<br />
while maintaining ahighlevel of<br />
passion, and pride in theirwork to<br />
Workmates ... The new senior ranger at Tuhaitara Coastal Park, Deane Barlow, front left,<br />

Despite the fire adding an unwanted<br />
layer of dramatohis first few weeks<br />
working at the parkDeaneisenjoying<br />
his new role, and feelslucky to have<br />
suchabeautiful workspace.<br />
‘‘Ithas beenfantastic. The team has<br />
beenvery accommodating and Ihave<br />
beenwelcomedwith open arms.’’<br />
His role involves the daily<br />
maintenance and improvements to the<br />
parkspace. It can be anything from<br />
trail upkeep,dealing with windblown<br />
trees, responding to public queries,<br />
hosting school and communitygroup<br />
plantings and dealing with‘‘whatever<br />
other curve balls arethrown our way’’.<br />
Deane's favouriteplaceinthe park<br />
is overlooking Tutaepatu Lagoon, and<br />
he is looking forward to rebuilding the<br />
lagoon’s lookoutwhich was destroyed<br />
by the fire.<br />

COMMUNITY GYM<br />
CELEBRATES 5 YEARS<br />
IN BUSINESS<br />
Paul and Julie Blackler have long dreamt of owning a<br />
gym. So when theopportunity arose tostartupAnytime<br />
FitnessRangiorain2017,theyjumpedrightin.<br />
Fortheavidgym-goers, embarking on this new journey<br />
wasn’t just a good business decision; it was a lifestyle<br />
choice.<br />
The couple are acutely aware of the health benefits<br />
of exercise: Paul has battled with his weight since<br />
his youth, and Julie was regularly hospitalized as a<br />
child withchronicasthma.WhileJulieoutgrewher<br />

From the get-go, Julie and Paul were particularly focused on creating a welcoming and<br />
inclusive space.<br />
“Our aim was to open a gym where everyone feels comfortable. We’ve been to too many<br />
gyms where it’s all about lifting the most weights or wearing the latest gym gear; that’s<br />
not what we’re about. We’re here to help our members reach their health goals in a<br />
welcoming and friendly environment.”<br />

Tiny herd the heart of anew milk venture<br />
Atiny,individualisedherd of show cows<br />
forms the heart of anew operation—<br />
supplying raw milk to the public, three<br />
minutes from Rangiora.<br />
Peter and Claire Hansen’s Fernside<br />
Fresh, has blended Peter’s lifelong<br />
obsession with registered Jersey show<br />
cows, into abusiness model witha<br />
difference.<br />
The beauty of atiny herd, arare<br />
phenomenoninNew Zealand,includesa<br />
lot of natural advantagesfor the 16 handpicked<br />
cows, whosemilk filltwo,<br />
200litre selfserve milk vending<br />
machines, every day at the family’s new<br />
dairy at 492 Oxford Rd, near the<br />
Fernside school.<br />
The cowsare pasture fed and only<br />
have ashort 200mwalk to the dairyeach<br />
day. Milking takes no more than 20<br />
minutes twiceaday,and as the milk<br />
doesn’t have to go the milk factory, fresh<br />
milk is available at afast clip.<br />
All the calves are reared at Fernside<br />
Fresh, including the bull calves.<br />
While the national averagelifespan for<br />
adairy cow is between three to four<br />
years, Fernside Freshhas cows still<br />
milking aged 14 years.<br />
Without the pressures of alargeherd,<br />
the cows liveacomfortable life witha<br />
local purpose.<br />
They carry registered nameslike<br />
Chanel, Bright Eyes, and Viyella, and are<br />
shown by the family at the <strong>Canterbury</strong><br />
A&P Show.<br />
Its beenafamily dream to be able to<br />
sell aquality producttothe publicand<br />
cut out the middle man, Peter says.<br />
Claire says, Pete’spassion is for the<br />
cows, and becauseofthat ‘‘we have milk<br />
and we wanted to makeitavailable to the<br />
public’’.<br />
The small Fernside Fresh herd comes<br />
with some Royal connections.<br />
The late Queen ElizabethIIowned a<br />
Jersey herd(which was established at<br />
Time for milking ... Peter brings in the<br />
small herd for milking.<br />
Windsor in 1871).<br />
She is looselylinked to two of the cow<br />
families at Fernside Fresh—Viyella and<br />
Bright Eyes. They were bought from the<br />
New Zealand breeders who the Queen<br />
ownedcows in partnershipwith for many<br />
years—FerdonGenetics, at Otorohanga.<br />
AlthoughFernside Fresh is a<br />
newcomer to the market, Peterhas been<br />
working towards this reality since he was<br />
10yearsold.<br />
Peter’s grandparents, Fred and Freda,<br />
farmed Jerseys on Fernside Roadfrom<br />
1936,and despite owning his successful<br />
drainlayingbusiness Peter Hansen<br />
Drainlaying, Peter has neverwavered<br />
from his passion for Jersey cows.<br />
27<br />
Apassion for jersey cows ... Peter and Claire Hansen with one of their herd of Jersey<br />
cows which is supplying raw milk to the public.<br />
PHOTOS: SUPPLIED<br />
He and Claire travelled to Australia in<br />
2017, buyingfour registered Jersey cows<br />
from arenownedAustralian breeder to<br />
bring hometoNew Zealand.<br />
Atravestyoftiming thwarted their<br />
15yeardream.<br />
Ten days before the cows boarded the<br />
plane from Australia havingpassed all<br />
their tests and completed their<br />
quarantine,New Zealand's Ministry for<br />
PrimaryIndustries (MPI) reported NZs<br />
first outbreak of Mycoplasma bovis (M.<br />
bovis)in New Zealand.<br />
The border was shut. The dream and<br />
the investmentsufferedamajor setback.<br />
Fernside Fresh’sconcept to reality<br />
took agamechanging step forward two<br />
yearsago when the couplefoundthe<br />
perfect farm.<br />
Sincethen, they have been workingto<br />
develop their new property,including<br />
building acowshedand shop front.<br />
Approval to market their milk from the<br />
Ministry for Primary Industry (MPI)<br />
completed theirfinalstep.<br />
‘‘Every week, we see messages on<br />
community Facebook pages asking for<br />
milk.<br />
‘‘We have been so looking forwardto<br />
getting the final thingsinplace, and now<br />
to have the MPI approval we are excited<br />
to be openfor business,’’ Clairesays.<br />
FernsideFresh is opentothe public<br />

Creek water quality improving<br />
By DAVID HILL,<br />
Local Democracy Reporter<br />
RURAL LIFE<br />
<strong>North</strong> <strong>Canterbury</strong> <strong>News</strong>, <strong>November</strong> <strong>24</strong>, <strong>2022</strong><br />

QUALITY FENCING<br />
BUILT TOYOUR BUDGET!<br />
Kaikōura’s familiar stream is now a<br />
space enjoyed by all, says Kaikōura<br />
Zone Committee chairperson Ted<br />
Howard.<br />
The Waikōau /Lyell Creek catchment<br />
has seen major improvements in water<br />
quality, biodiversity and mahinga kai<br />
values over the past 60 to 70 years<br />
through community action.<br />
The creek flows from springs, fed via<br />
groundwater from the alpine braided<br />
Kowhai River, and meanders across the<br />
pastoral landscape and lifestyle blocks<br />
of the Kaikōura Flats and into the town.<br />
The zone committee made it apriority<br />
to improve the water quality of Lyell<br />
Creek in 2012.<br />
‘‘It is agreat place for the community,’’<br />
Mr Howard says.<br />
‘‘Birds, fish and insects can thrive in<br />
it, and it provides away for locals to<br />
connect with their natural environment.<br />
‘‘It wasn’t always like this, so it is great<br />
to be able to look back on decades of past<br />
actions and see how over time, people<br />
and place has been connected, with<br />
outstanding outcomes to improving such<br />
acentral water way.’’<br />
But more needs to be done and<br />
keeping the community connected to the<br />
stream is one of the keys to keep<br />
improving water quality, he says.<br />
In 2017, the postquake Kaikōura<br />
Plains Recovery Project carried out a<br />
stream walk along Lyell Creek and its<br />
connected drains, to collect information<br />
on the health of the catchment.<br />
The survey led to two reports being<br />
compiled by the National Institute of<br />
Water and Atmospheric Research<br />
(NIWA).<br />
The stream walk approach is now<br />
being used as atemplate for other<br />
catchment projects in Kaikōura.<br />

some cultural artwork has also been<br />
established at the public reserve by<br />
State Highway 1, to raise awareness of<br />
stormwater impacts on the creek, and<br />
the cultural importance of the area.<br />
Planting has also been apriority for<br />
the zone committee.<br />
‘‘This reserve is shaping up to be a<br />
rich outdoor classroom, and aplace of<br />
quiet contemplation, for people to<br />
connect with the awa and continue<br />
traditions of mahinga kai,’’ Environment<br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong> land management and<br />
biodiversity advisor Heath Melville<br />
says.<br />
‘‘Over the last 10 or so years there’s<br />
been ongoing weed control, numerous<br />
community stream and beach clean ups<br />
and educational opportunities in the<br />
lower Lyell area.’’<br />

Dibb World Champion<br />
By ROBYN BRISTOW<br />
Bronwyn Dibb, from<br />
Rangiorabased Ice<br />
Trampoline and<br />
Gymnastics <strong>North</strong><br />
<strong>Canterbury</strong>, is aWorld<br />
Champion.<br />
Dibb took out the<br />
women’s double mini<br />
trampoline title last<br />
Saturday morning, at<br />
Sofia in Bulgaria, ahead<br />
of the United States and<br />
Australia.<br />
It was an extremely<br />
close final. Dibb scored<br />
just 0.1 ahead of silver —<br />
with only 0.900<br />
separating gold and<br />
bronze.<br />
Her world title comes<br />
just four months after<br />
winning silver at the<br />
<strong>2022</strong> World Games.<br />
‘‘To become aworld<br />
champion and win the<br />
gold medal is adream<br />
come true and makes all<br />
the hard work, time,<br />
effort, and sacrifices all<br />
worth it.<br />
‘‘I am so grateful for<br />
the opportunity to get<br />
out on the world stage<br />
and represent my<br />
country and for<br />
everyone who has<br />
supported me on my<br />
journey to this day’’<br />
‘‘I was shocked when I<br />
realised that Ihad won<br />
gold.<br />
‘‘It was very exciting<br />
waiting for the scores<br />
from the other finalists,<br />
keeping the faith one<br />
after another until the<br />
final result.<br />
‘‘I could not be<br />
happier,’’ she says.<br />
New Zealand’s last<br />
double mini world<br />
champion was Kylie<br />
Walker back in 1998,<br />
who was also coached by<br />
Dibb’s coach Nigel<br />
Humphreys.<br />
Humphreys says it<br />
hard to believe <strong>24</strong> years<br />
has gone by since<br />
Walker’s World<br />
Championship win.<br />
‘‘As acoach you<br />
always hope for another<br />
‘once in alifetime<br />
athlete’ but most are not<br />
as fortunate as me.<br />
‘‘Bronwyn is such a<br />
special person and<br />
dedicated to being the<br />
best she can be.’’<br />
As asecondary event,<br />
Dibb competed in the<br />
synchronised<br />
trampoline competition<br />
with Tokyo Olympian<br />
Madaline Davidson<br />
(Olympia Gymnastic<br />
Sports, Christchurch)<br />
where the pair finished<br />
16th.<br />
World champion ... Bronwyn Dibb, who won the<br />
women’s double mini trampolinetitle and the World<br />
title at Sofia, Bulgaria.<br />

‘‘I haveverylittle experience<br />

few goesatRuapunaspeedway,<br />
but this is very different as it’s<br />

aboutafter he was approachedby<br />
BRT, whichwas looking for<br />
someone outside of speedway to<br />
come andhave agoinone of<br />
theirhand built racecars.<br />
‘‘I can’t reallytake much over<br />
from rallying at all, I’m pretty<br />
used to the speed side but<br />
everythingelse,the other<br />
competitors around me and the<br />
way car behaves as well as the<br />
trackisall goingtobevery new to<br />
me,’’hesaid. ‘‘I’m just looking<br />

fortunate to be working alongside<br />
Josh Boulton and the BRTteam<br />
who are well known for both his<br />
skillswinning national<br />

Smith Street Speed Limits –Only aFew<br />
Days Le toHave Your Say<br />
Should we lower the Smith Street speed limit from<br />
80km to 50km?<br />
The Council is reviewing speed limits to ensure<br />
roads have safe and appropriate speeds for their<br />
current use.<br />
This review focuses between the SH1 motorway<br />
interchange and the Cam River bridge.<br />
Further development istaking place in the<br />
commercial area on the south side of the<br />
road. This means the current speed limit is not<br />
appropriate for the future urban residential and<br />
commercial setting.<br />
We welcome your feedback on the proposed<br />
change. Share your thoughts with us on the link<br />
below before Monday 28<strong>November</strong> <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

Road Resealing Programme<br />
This summer it’s sealing season. Council is rolling<br />
out its road resurfacing programme and you will<br />
see contractors working on various roads around<br />
the District.<br />
To begin with contractors will prepare the roads,<br />
ready to be sealed. This involves minor repairs<br />
including filling potholes, repairing edge break and<br />
carrying out minor levelling works before the new<br />
chipseal is applied.<br />
Thework will be carriedout duringthe day and<br />
contractors willtry andkeepdisruptiontoaminimum<br />
however, theremay be some impacts including:<br />
• Limited traffic movementthroughthe street, some<br />
controlled access and reduced on-street parking<br />
• There may be some noise and vibration from<br />
construction during the day<br />
• The area will be swept within 48 hours of sealing<br />
but we would expect asmall amount of ongoing<br />
chip loss over the next 3-6 months.<br />
Letterdrops will be carried out prior to chipsealing<br />
being carried out. This is an ongoing programme so<br />
keepaneye on ourFacebook pagefor regular updates.<br />
