Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Hector’s dolphins already impacted by tourism • From page 1 They already faced challenges including disturbance, habitat reduction, overfishing, water quality, bycatch risk, warming seas, toxoplasmosis and noise, Thompson said. Lyttelton was a busy harbour which was already likely having an impact on Hector’s dolphins, he said. The applications received more than 200 submissions, the majority of them opposed the proposal. “Research from nearby Akaroa Harbour indicates tourism activities impact Hector’s dolphins, and these are cumulative alongside the effects of other vessel traffic. Impacts could include changes to behaviour including changes to when and where dolphins are found in the harbour. “We do not think the conservation benefits from public education through tourism outweigh the potential adverse effects of this proposal, especially given there are six existing dolphin tour operations in nearby Akaroa.” A moratorium remained in place for Akaroa Harbour, which prevented DOC from granting any more permits or any more trips for dolphin viewing or swimming. The moratorium will be reviewed by DOC and expires in 2026. Thompson did not rule out it being extended or expanded to cover more area. “It’s more than likely that moratorium would be extended in timeframe but I think we should also consider whether or not that should be extended around the rest of the peninsula and into Lyttelton Harbour as well, which is pretty consistent with the marine mammals sanctuary that is currently in place.” He did not expect it would have much of an impact as there was only one operator doing ENDANGERED: A moratorium is in place for Akaroa Harbour, which prevents the Department of Conservation from granting any more permits or trips for Hector’s dolphin viewing.

Thompson acknowledged Jet Junkies staff have worked constructively with DOC during the application process including reducing the proposed number of daily trips and using a Sealver, or jet ski propelled boats to ensure customers would not be operating jet skis near marine mammals. Jet Junkies chief executive Kevin Scovell said thanked DOC staff for their work. “We will continue to operate our strict accidental discovery protocols around marine mammals while out on our existing jet ski tours.” – RNZ IN-HOUSE teams of city council staff will be created to maintain Banks Peninsula and Christchurch parks. City councillors have decided that from July 1 next year all parks maintenance activity, excluding tree maintenance and sexton services (burials in cemeteries) will be carried out by council employed staff rather than contractors. The current contract for maintenance services performed by Recreational Services Ltd – including mowing, sports fields, gardening, rubbish Wednesday August 16 2023 Bay Harbour News NEWS 7 New model for maintaining parks Andrew Rutledge collection across councils 1000, plus community parks – was due to expire in June 2024. A number of options were considered including keeping the current mixed model service (using both contractors and in-house), a modified in-house delivery of services and full inhouse delivery of services. The decision was approved by the city council’s finance and performance committee. The committee approved the full inhouse delivery of services. “Parks, gardens and reserves are so important to everyone in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula. They’re part of our identity. By making this shift, our parks will be getting top quality, tailored maintenance,” committee chair Cr Sam MacDonald said. “The council was facing an increase in operational costs which would have had an impact on rates so to get this moved in-house where we can be flexible, have locally dedicated people maintaining local parks and avoid spending more ratepayer money is a real win. Keeping costs under control and staying within existing operational budgets was a big factor in the decision.” Said city council head of parks Andrew Rutledge: “The new in-house model will be an extension of the way the Botanic Gardens, Ngā Puna Wai, Hagley Park, regional parks, our garden and heritage sites and parks on the Akaroa Harbour side of Banks Peninsula are currently maintained. “The number of council staff in each team will be determined by the size and scale of the assets in each ward and we’ll be working through this over the next nine months to make sure we’re ready to hit the ground running in 2024.” SAVE the GST See www.flooringxtra.co.nz for full T&Cs.
