Call for cellphone
tower to be moved
• By Heidi Slade
REDCLIFFS residents are
calling for a cellphone tower to
be relocated.
Digital infrastructure
company FortySouth has
begun upgrades to the tower
on Beachville Rd and the
Christchurch Coastal Pathway,
which involves installing a new
tower less than a metre away
from the existing site.
But locals and community
organisations say the new tower,
which is more than twice
as wide as the existing one,
should be relocated.
“That tower will dominate
all the views,” Redcliffs resident
Zara Fleming said.
“This is a really special place
so it deserves special consideration.”
Work to upgrade the existing
tower, built in 2003, began
in late March.
The tower will be the same
height as the existing one, and
will remain in the same area,
FortySouth head of external
affairs Lisa Mulitalo said.

UPGRADE: Redcliffs residents are urging FortySouth to investigate alternative locations
for the new cellphone tower, which will be 0.75m northeast of the original tower (inset).

Flooding
impossible
to fix, city
council
report says
• By Daniel Alvey
REGULAR flooding along the
Heathcote River may never be
fixed.
A staff report at last week’s city
council meeting stated it was
“not possible to ‘fix flooding’ and
some level of flood risk would be
present even if investment were
significantly increased”.
Since 2010, the city council has
spent $300 million reducing the
flood risk around areas including
the Heathcote River, where
water was regularly seeping into
people’s homes.
“There will always be a bigger
flood event, or areas that cannot
be practicably remedied,” the
report stated.
To help, $14 million was set
aside in the 2021-2031 Long
Term Plan to address localised
flood risk in areas including
McCormacks Bay, Heathcote
Valley, Hillsborough, and
Redcliffs.
The $14 million did not
include budgets for larger flood
management schemes like the
Upper Heathcote storage areas.

From 17 to 21 April, a section of Ferry Road will be closed at night,
between Hopkins Street and Hargood Street. The road will be
closed between midnight and 6.00am. During the day, two lanes
will be open past the work area on Ferry Road.
These are essential upgrades, to enhance the resilience and
security of the network. Please allow extra time for your journey

changes to the Dyers Pass Rd, Colombo St, Cashmere Rd
and Centaurus Rd roundabout? Email your responses in
200 words or less to barry@starmedia.kiwi
SAFER: The roundabout connecting Dyers Pass Rd, Colombo St, Cashmere Rd and Centaurus Rd as it is today. Right – what the roundabout is
expected to look like after the proposed changes.
PHOTOS: NEWSLINE
Changes likely for risky roundabout
A BUSY roundabout at the base
of the Port Hills could soon get
a raft of safety improvements to
address the high crash rate.
The Waihoro Spreydon-
Cashmere-Heathcote
Community Board is due to
consider a report tomorrow
recommending safety
improvements to the Cashmere
Rd, Centaurus Rd, Colombo St,
Dyers Pass Rd roundabout.
The changes would include
raised platforms to help prevent
vehicles crashing with cyclists.
Between 2010 and 2021, 27
crashes were reported at the
roundabout. Ten of those
resulted in serious injuries, with
six involving people riding bikes
and four involving people on a
motorcycle or scooter. Cyclists
were also involved in eight
crashes between 2010 and 2021
that resulted in minor injuries.
To address this, city council
staff have recommended changes,
including raised platforms to
encourage safe speeds as vehicles
travel through the roundabout
and make it safer for people to
cross the intersection.
Similar raised platforms added
to intersections across the city,
including Lincoln Rd, Barrington
St and Whiteleigh Ave in
Addington, have faced criticism
from Mayor Phil Mauger.
However, the city council staff
report says the raised platforms
reduce entry speed and improve
safety.
“The Cashmere/Colombo/
Centaurus/Dyers Pass
intersection is a busy intersection
used by many people travelling
to school, work or across the
community. Whether people
are travelling through this
intersection on foot, by bicycle,
by bus or driving, they should
be able to do so safely,” the staff
report stated.
The report also recommended:
• Narrowing the road
widths approaching the
roundabout and installing
sharrow markings to indicate
that people riding bicycles and
vehicles share the lane.
• Widening the existing
pedestrian refuge islands and
add zebra pedestrian and cycle
crossings on Colombo St and
Centaurus Rd to create safer
crossing points.
• Building out the kerb on
the corner of Colombo St and
Centaurus Rd to slow vehicles
turning left into Centaurus
Rd and provide space for
landscaping.
• Building out the kerb on
Dyers Pass and Cashmere Rds
to slow vehicles turning left into
Cashmere Rd.
• Adding a concrete lip around
the centre of the roundabout
to reduce the speed of people
travelling in the roundabout.
More than 400 submissions
were made during the
consultation process, with the
majority calling for traffic lights
to be installed.
However, city council staff say
traffic signals would not improve
safety, may cause more delays for
road users, and would cost $2.5
million, compared to $450,000
for the recommended changes.
The cost will be covered by
the Government through the
Christchurch Regeneration
Acceleration Fund.

Residents call for a better solution
• From page 1
“The cell site . . . will not extend
any further into the footpath
than the existing equipment,”
Mulitalo said.
However, it will be wider. The
existing pole has a diameter of
11.4cm. The new pole has a diameter
of 27.3cm.
“We have selected the slimmest
pole possible to structurally
support the new equipment,”
Mulitalo said.
Work is currently on hold until
April 20, so FortySouth and One
NZ can communicate plans to
nearby residents, as they failed to
do so in an initial letter.
“Detailed plans were not
initially shared with neighbours,
but that has now been done and
we have apologised for not doing
this when we first wrote to them,”
Mulitalo said.
In the new letter sent to residents,
FortySouth provided an
email address for queries and
feedback.
But Redcliffs residents are
calling for FortySouth to consider
alternative locations for
the upgrade and to carry out
consultation.
“We would be disappointed to
see (the current tower) getting
more obtrusive,” Redcliffs Residents’
Association secretary Pat

Hayley Holt grew up in the public eye. Now it’s time to share her
side of the story.
After breaking free from the strict dance schedule of her childhood, in her late
teens Hayley found freedom at the bottom of a bottle: she became confident,
easygoing, the life of the party.
Before long it became a crutch. As her high-profile TV career grew, Hayley spent
nights drinking, getting kicked out of clubs, and blacking out. In this vulnerable
memoir, she describes the scare that led her to Alcoholics Anonymous, her
journey to sobriety, and an ADHD diagnosis that brought everything into focus.
Then, single, forty, and at the peak of her career, Hayley embarked on a
pregnancy that was cut short by a devastating stillbirth. Yet in the darkest place of
her life, she found hope in a blossoming new love.
Heartbreaking and inspiring, filled with Hayley’s wicked wit, Second Chances is
about finding the courage to face up to your mistakes, and learning that even the
deepest pain can be followed by the greatest joy.

“I thought, that’s not slightly

“You couldn’t tell how much

chair Hanno Sander: “That
the Christchurch Coastal
Pathway Group’s key objective
is to promote the creation of
a 4m wide shared pathway
which includes the Beachville
Esplanade.
“CCPG was not consulted on
the proposed changes to the cell
tower, which will block a large
section of the pathway. Our
position is that the placement of
any structures on the pathway is
unacceptable.”
Sander said the group’s main
concern was structures built on
the path.
“We don’t want structures built
on the pathway blocking the path
of users,” he said.
The cellphone tower upgrade is
part of a nationwide programme
FortySouth has been carrying
out over the last couple of years.
It has been both upgrading and
building new towers throughout
New Zealand, as well as working
on other sites in Christchurch.

KAREN BRILL’S walking bike
has allowed her to get her life
back.
Karen was struggling with
her weight, had damaged lungs,
difficulty breathing and severe
arthritis.
“In 2020, I went to church and
couldn’t even walk five metres
without needing to take a rest. I
disliked not being able to walk
and live a normal life, and finally
decided that I’d had enough.”
So Karen bought a large
walking frame, hoping it would
extend her mobility. Despite
taking this step, she reached
another hurdle.
“The walker was so wide
I couldn’t even get through
doorframes with it. I put up with
it for a few months, but in early
2021 I thought it was ridiculous.
So I went online and stumbled
across the Alinker walking bike.”
Karen said before the Alinker,
any sort of exercise was hard.
“I was 150kg and I couldn’t
even get to the letterbox. My
neighbour brought in my mail
and took out my bins for me,
and friends picked me up to take
me to Church.”
The new walking bike, created
by Dutch-Canadian inventor
Barbara Alink, allowed Karen to

take place on Sunday, April 23.
The participants will meet at
11am at Scotts Park off Main Rd
in Mt Pleasant before they walk
or wheel their way along the
Coastal Pathway.
The walk is open to those in
wheelchairs and their friends
and whānau. New Zealand
Spinal Trust community and
marketing coordinator Tina
Morrell said the organisation
was exited to host the walk.
“As staff, we like to live active,
healthy lives and encourage
the people we work alongside
to remain active too. The
well-being benefits of keeping
physically active are immense,”
Morrell said.
Whether you’re a fan of local
history, getting out into nature,
socialising or pushing yourself
to get that awesome view, there’s
something for all ages and
abilities.

Some flooding will be inevitable
in the Sumner Stream, which
in 2016 had an estimated
construction cost of $12.8
million, with the benefit of
reducing flooding and road
ponding in Sumner.
The report said the community
and city council would have
to accept some surface water
ponding and private property
flooding that could be addressed
through physical work.
Mayor Phil Mauger is no
stranger to working in flooded
areas having taken matters
into his own hands digging
out a trench in Bexley red zone
in 2020, following which the
city council voted to prioritise
works in the area to address the
problem.
During last week’s meeting,
Mauger questioned council staff
whether enough material was
being removed from rivers and
whether more common dredging
could be an option, something
he said was a common
occurrence pre-earthquake.
Council staff responded by
saying dredging is not a simple
process and that multiple factors
had to be considered including
bank stability.
The city council decided to
develop a prioritised list of
works, but staff warned the
scale of the task limited the
city council’s ability to address
all areas at pace and significant
time would be needed to
complete all the work.
CRUISE: The Ovation of
the Seas left Lyttelton on
Monday.
Even more
cruise ships
expected
next season
CRUISE SHIPS will be docking at
Lyttelton in even greater numbers
next season.
Seventy-nine cruise ships
berthed in Lyttelton over the past
seven months, including the last
one of this season, the Ovation
of the Seas, which departed on
Monday.
However, the Lyttelton Port
Company’s forecast is for 98
cruise ship visits next season.
“The return of large cruise ships
to the Port of Lyttelton has been
a welcome return for Lyttelton,
Christchurch and the Canterbury
province after the devastating
Canterbury earthquakes and
Covid-19 pandemic,” Lyttelton
Port Company’s Phil de Joux said.
He said there had been 85
scheduled arrivals this season
but 79 visits. The drop was due to
weather, hull cleaning and vessel
operational issues.
Bus routes through Lyttelton
are changing to try to solve the
congestion problem caused by
cruise ship passengers.
It’s one of a number of
immediate changes being made
after the Te Pataka o Rakaihautu
Banks Peninsula Community
Board faced angry protests from
locals at a meeting in February,
complaining about cruise
ship passengers hogging the
buses, creating congestion and
preventing them from getting to
and from the city on time.

Tiny birds continue to thrive in bush
• By Heidi Slade
TWO PAIRS of New Zealand’s
smallest bird continue to live
in bush near Akaroa – more
than a year after they were first
spotted.
The rifleman were first seen in
the reserve by a city council park
ranger in late 2021.
Typically, rifleman prefer a
more mature forest than that on
Banks Peninsula.
City council
biodiversity
team leader
Alison Evans
said rifleman
are at extremely
high risk from
predators.
Alison Evans
The birds
choose to
nest in holes
of native trees, where they are
preyed on by rats, possums and
other pests.
“Rats and stoats easily get into
their holes in trees.
“They’re like sitting ducks in
there,” Evans said.
To protect the current
Misty Peaks Reserve rifleman
population of four and boost
their numbers, the city council,
Refuge Ecology and Banks
Peninsula Conservation Trust
placed 51 nesting boxes in the
area during April last year.
“In many areas, there aren’t
many native trees left with these
kinds of holes. By providing
boxes you’re providing them with
a safe place,” Evans said.
The boxes are designed to
replicate the typical natural
nesting place of the birds.
At the beginning of the project,
the city council was aware of two
male and two female riflemen/
titipounamu living on Banks
Peninsula. A year later the same
two pairs are still living in the
area.
While the number of rifleman
has not increased at the reserve
since the project began, Evans
is pleased the two pairs are still
around.
“We haven’t seen any using the
boxes, but we wouldn’t expect
them to be using the boxes just
yet,” Evans said.
She does not think the city
council will see the birds in the
boxes for about two or three
years, when they need a place to
nest.
“In the meantime, what
we’ve been concentrating on
more is the predator control

there,’’ Evans said.
“The city council is working
will Pest Free Banks Peninsula,
primarily on possum control in
the area.
“We’ve got AT220 traps in
(Misty Peaks Reserve) which
reset themselves.
“We want to know which
species are going to flourish as a
result of no possums.
“We’ve been cleaning up a lot
of possums from those traps, so
that will be really good to have
them gone.”
Rifleman are very sparsely

dispersed, which makes them
hard to track down.
Due to this, Evans does not
have an estimate of how many
rifleman there are across New
Zealand.
“There’s very few around,
they’re quite secretive birds.
“But they’re hanging in there.”
In the next two to three years,
Evans’ goal is to see rifleman
flourish.

TREASURES FROM THE PAST
Lyttelton Railway Station’s 105 years

https://www.teuaka.org.nz/online-collection/1135995
FOR OVER a century, the town
centre of Ōhinehou Lyttelton
revolved not solely around
London St, but extended down
along Oxford St to the port quays
and their public transport hub at
the Lyttelton Railway Station.
In days gone by, turning right
into Oxford St from London St,
you would have passed by HP
Hobson’s, later Collett’s Chemist,
with the borough council offices
and the old library and fire
station across the street, and the
war memorial in the centre of
the intersection.
Walking down the steep footpath
past Norton’s Tea Rooms
and Dance Hall, followed by
the Tin Palace, you would have
come to the busy intersection of
Oxford St and Norwich Quay.
Here, you would find the British
and Canterbury hotels opposite
the fine harbour board and the
post and telegraph office with
its clock tower, with Oxford St
continuing on into the Lyttelton
Railway Station yard and the
wharves beyond.
Established in 1867, the
Lyttelton Railway Station was
constructed to accommodate
passengers traversing the
recently completed Moorhouse
Rail Tunnel, thus rendering the
Ferrymead Railway – New Zealand’s
inaugural public railway
line – obsolete.
The Lyttelton station held
considerable significance as it
facilitated a crucial connection
between the port of Lyttelton
and the city of Christchurch, as
well as linking the port to the
wider Canterbury region. This
connectivity allowed for the
efficient transport of goods and
passengers by means of rail, and
resulted in the rapid expansion
of freight and passenger rail services
through the latter decades
of the 19th century.
The initial station building was
a humble wooden construction,
featuring a gabled roof and
dimensions of just five by 11 metres.
A crowd of approximately
500 citizens gathered there on
December 9, 1867 to welcome
the arrival of the first passenger
train, with some noting the station
appeared to be unfinished,
without a roofed platform, and of
a ‘temporary quality’.
In January 1873, with the
station having survived the
great fire of 1870, designs for a
new and more accommodating
building were devised.
Canterbury Provincial Railways
general manager John Marshman
successfully persuaded the
provincial government to construct
verandas over the station
platforms, arguing he had never
seen a railway station of Lyttelton’s
significance that required
passengers to brave the rain in
order to board a train.
This second rainproof
railway station commenced
operation upon its completion
in August 1873. However, it
would be another six years,
and some 12 years after the rail
tunnel opened, before regularly
scheduled passenger rail
services between Lyttelton and
Christchurch would finally commence
on December 17, 1879.
Through to the 20th century,
the railway station became an
important public transportation
hub for the region, with its
passenger trains connecting
with steam ferries to and from
Diamond Harbour, the Corsair
Bay Recreation Reserve, and bays
around Horomaka Banks Peninsula,
along with a regular Royal
Mail passenger coach service to
Governors Bay and beyond.
Throughout its nine long
decades of service to the community,
this second station saw
a huge growth in passenger
services, along with the advent
of electric trains in 1929, and
went through multiple repairs
and refurbishments. After just
30 years, in 1910, the district
engineer had recommended its
demolition and the building of a
new station, to no avail. A quarter
of a century later, in 1935,
another district engineer noted
a severe borer infestation. Yet it
was not until August 7, 1962 that
the Minister of Railways John
McAlpine finally announced the
demolition and redevelopment
of a rather dilapidated Lyttelton
Railway Station.
The construction project
went ahead despite concerns
surrounding the long-term
sustainability of passenger rail
services between Lyttelton and
Christchurch, as the imminent
completion of the Lyttelton Road
Tunnel was expected to establish
road transport as a serious competitor
for public patronage.
And sure enough, the distinctly
1960s-style third Lyttelton
Railway Station remained operational
for just shy of a decade before
the New Zealand Railways
department made the decision
to terminate passenger services
through the Lyttelton Railway
Tunnel due to diminishing
passenger counts. The regular
passenger rail service between
Lyttelton and Christchurch was
thus discontinued on February
28, 1972, and with it the century-long
history of the Lyttelton
Railway Station at the heart of
the port town became a fading
memory.
Intermittent rail passenger
services continued with the
‘boat train’ express connecting
with the interisland ferry service
until the ferries stopped in 1976.
A Christchurch-Lyttelton Port
shuttle service for cruise ships
was active for some years, as
well as a Tranz Scenic service to
Arthur’s Pass, with the station
building also providing office
space for NZR staff. Following
the devastating Canterbury
earthquakes of 2010-11, the
third Lyttelton Railway Station
building was demolished in 2017.
