Debris to be cleared from<br />
dump site after long wait<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
AN EMPTY section in Mt<br />
Pleasant is finally being cleaned<br />
up after eight years of complaints<br />
to the city council fell on deaf<br />
ears.<br />
The city council-owned 1001<br />
sq-m section in Virginia Lane<br />
has been an illegal dumping<br />
ground for years; residents complaints<br />
go back to 20<strong>16</strong>.<br />
Said long time resident Jo Doherty:<br />
“So many neighbours, past<br />
and present, have flagged this up<br />
with council, that there’s been<br />
dumping going on but nothing<br />
has been done for years.”<br />
Doherty said she had routinely<br />
told the city council as far back<br />
as 20<strong>16</strong> of a particular person<br />
she had seen dumping materials.<br />
That person had continued to<br />
dump rubbish over the years.<br />
She said the city council’s response<br />
to her complaints was not<br />
good enough.<br />
“It’s really disappointing. You<br />
just start lose faith in people<br />
(council staff),” she said.<br />
Doherty complained again in<br />
February, and the council started<br />
the long awaited clean-up 15 days<br />
ago. The section will be clear by<br />
Friday.<br />
The person Doherty had<br />
been complaining about was<br />
trespassed by the city council<br />
on Thursday. But the man told<br />
<strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong> he considered it<br />
unfair he had been the only one<br />
targeted.<br />
NO-GO: City council staff blocked off the entrance to 8 Virginia Lane on <strong>May</strong> 2 in an effort<br />
to prevent any further dumping on the section. Nearby residents have been complaining<br />
to the city council since 20<strong>16</strong> to clean up the area.<br />
“There’s a number of people<br />
who used the property for<br />
different things – storing boats,<br />
materials same as me. I did<br />
probably have more stuff on it<br />
but I had an agreement with the<br />
original owner,” he said.<br />
City council head of city<br />
growth and property Bruce<br />
Rendall would not provide an<br />
explanation to <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>View</strong> as<br />
to why it had taken eight years.<br />
He said staff had not looked<br />
back into records to verify if<br />
the resident’s comments about<br />
how long<br />
they had been<br />
complaining<br />
were “accurate”.<br />
“We have not<br />
undertaken a<br />
review of the<br />
history and<br />
neighbours<br />
claims so are unable<br />
to comment<br />
Bruce<br />
Rendall<br />
on the accuracy of this and the<br />
circumstances,” he said.<br />
Staff were now “focused on<br />
moving forward positively and<br />
rectifying the issues’’.<br />
Doherty said concrete, polystyrene,<br />
general waste, building<br />
tools, wood, steel and chemicals<br />
have been dumped on the section<br />
since the original house was<br />
demolished, creating an eyesore<br />
and environmental threat to the<br />
nearby Glenstrae Stream.<br />
“We live in such a beautiful<br />
area, I just can’t believe this has<br />
kept happening for so long.”<br />
Rendall said investigations<br />
since September had to led to<br />
multiple people being suspected<br />
HAZARD: This photo from<br />
September shows the types<br />
of building materials and<br />
chemicals which have been<br />
left at the site. These items<br />
have now been removed.<br />
of illegal dumping.<br />
He said the rubbish clean up<br />
will cost $6300 in total with an<br />
additional $2200 for further<br />
vegetation work on the site.<br />
“If anything in particular is removed<br />
and disposed of that can<br />
be attributed to an individual,<br />
then that cost will be passed on.”<br />
He said the city council is<br />
avoiding prosecutions over the<br />
dumping because of the high<br />
evidence threshold needed.<br />
“The council is confident<br />
removal of the material can<br />
be undertaken at less cost to<br />
the ratepayers than the court<br />
process.”<br />
On <strong>May</strong> 2, city council staff<br />
blocked access to the section<br />
with a concrete bollard to prevent<br />
any further dumping.<br />

Nature challenge reveals web of biodiversity<br />
DR FRANK Ashwood plunged<br />
his hands into a compost pile and<br />
scattered the decaying material<br />
onto a sheet, then waited and saw<br />
movement.<br />
His prey led him on a merry<br />
chase around the small community<br />
garden plot at Canterbury<br />
University campus.<br />
But the soil biologist managed<br />
to corner the invertebrate and<br />
collect his prize – a macro-photo<br />
of Maratus griseus, a white-banded<br />
house jumper posing for the<br />
camera.<br />
Those are the lengths scientists,<br />
citizen scientists and city council<br />
rangers went<br />
to as they catalogued<br />
as much<br />
biodiversity as<br />
possible from all<br />
corners of Greater<br />
Christchurch<br />
during the City<br />
Nature Challenge<br />
from April 26-29.<br />
The challenge<br />
Frank<br />
Ashwood<br />
encouraged people to head out<br />
into nature and capture photos<br />
of plants, animals and fungi then<br />
log them on the iNaturalist app.<br />
Christchurch made the most<br />
observations of any city in<br />
Oceania with more than 20,000<br />
registered during the challenge.<br />
A prizegiving held last week<br />
saw Ashwood take home the<br />
“most inspiring invertebrate”<br />
award.<br />
Christchurch City Nature Challenge<br />
organiser, entomologist Dr<br />
CREEPY CRAWLY: A macro-photo of Maratus griseus, a white-banded house jumper<br />
captured by Dr Frank Ashwood.<br />
Rob Cruickshank said Ashwood<br />
was selected for his impressive<br />
collection of invertebrate records,<br />
including three mite species never<br />
recorded on iNaturalist before,<br />
anywhere in the world.<br />
“Taken together, these observations<br />
will add significantly to our<br />
knowledge of the mite fauna of<br />
our city,” he said.<br />
“Frank also added lots of<br />
other significant<br />
invertebrate observations,<br />
with<br />
some stunning<br />
macrophotography,<br />
including<br />
a possible new<br />
species of<br />
Rob<br />
jumping spider Cruickshank<br />
previously only<br />
recorded from a tree fern in the<br />
UK, and some incredible photos<br />
of a white-banded house jumping<br />
spider.”<br />
Other awards were given out<br />
for the most observations, top<br />
identifier, most observations<br />
made by a new iNaturalist user,<br />
most species documented, perfect<br />
plant find and a biosecurity award<br />
for locating a pest, which was<br />
spotted growing in the Ōtākaro<br />

Nature Challenge<br />
results<br />
Christchurch placed 26<br />
out of 690 cities, beating<br />
Los Angeles, Melbourne<br />
and Wellington.<br />
• 20,133 observations<br />
• 2307 species<br />
• 421 identifiers<br />
• 349 observers<br />
Almost 4000 different<br />
species have been found<br />
in Christchurch over the<br />
six years the challenge<br />
has been held here.<br />
Avon River Corridor.<br />
“There was a focus on the<br />
former red zone area this year, so<br />
it was great to see the numbers of<br />
people coming out and logging<br />
the biodiversity throughout the<br />
corridor,” city council red zone<br />
manager David Little said.<br />
“The most unwanted find of<br />
the challenge was logged in the<br />
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />
– yellow flag iris – but it’s better<br />
we know it’s there so we can deal<br />
with it.”<br />
“It was especially great to see<br />
the senior class from South New<br />
Brighton School join the bioblitz<br />
and take a closer look at what’s<br />
living all around them, hidden in<br />
plain sight.”<br />
“The team did a great job organising<br />
events this year and will<br />
be back with more exciting finds<br />
in 2025,” Little said.<br />

Caring for the biggest mother of all<br />
A MAMMOTH effort was<br />
undertaken over the weekend to<br />
remove rubbish from the Avon-<br />
Heathcote Estuary and Lyttelton<br />
Harbour.<br />
More than 50 groups took part<br />
in the Mother of All Clean Ups,<br />
held annually on the Saturday<br />
before Mother’s Day.<br />
From 10am to noon, volunteers<br />
from schools, community groups<br />
and workplaces were busy<br />
chatting and picking up litter.<br />
The final weigh in was 2.06<br />
tons. Last year it was 2.37 tons.<br />
Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai<br />
Trust manager Tanya Jenkins<br />
said the decrease showed an<br />
improvement in the amount<br />
of litter around Christchurch<br />
waterways.<br />

Funding boost for<br />
Youth Hub project<br />
STAGE ONE construction of the country’s<br />
first purpose-built youth hub has been<br />
boosted with a $300,000 donation from the<br />
Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust.<br />
Youth Hub Christchurch is under construction<br />
in at 109 Salisbury St, with a focus<br />
on providing services young people need to<br />
improve and maintain their mental health.<br />
Construction of the $21 million stage one<br />
– which includes a supported housing wing<br />
with 23 bedrooms, a wraparound services<br />
block for youth providers to work from and<br />
an outdoor activities courtyard – is expected<br />
to be completed in July.<br />
The Youth Hub Trust will then spend the<br />
rest of the year fitting out the facility before<br />
opening it progressively from late <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
Said Riccarton Rotary Youth Trust chair<br />
Murray Compton: “We’re delighted to be<br />
able to support the Youth Hub with this<br />
$300,000 donation. We have never previously<br />
given a single grant of this magnitude,<br />
but we believe the objectives of the Youth<br />
Hub closely align to those of our trust.<br />
“The youth trust has been operating for<br />
more than 30 years and has provided more<br />
than $3 million in support of youth. We<br />
look forward to being part of this exciting<br />
project that will benefit all young people in<br />
our region.”<br />
Youth Hub trust chair Dame Sue Bagshaw<br />
is thrilled with the donation.<br />
“This project would simply not be possible<br />
without donors like the Riccarton Rotary<br />
Youth Trust believing in what we’re trying to<br />
build for our city’s young people,” she said.<br />
“Youth Hub Christchurch will help all<br />

Christchurch youth, especially those who<br />
have had a rough start in life, break the<br />
intergenerational cycle of adversity and give<br />
them the skills, support and confidence they<br />
need to meet their potential.”<br />
More than 8000 young people between<br />
10 and 24 are expected to walk through the<br />
hub’s doors annually. The Rotary donation<br />
will go towards furniture and equipment<br />
purchases for the project and the large meeting<br />
room in the youth services block will be<br />
named in recognition of their generosity.<br />
The Youth Hub Trust continues to fundraise<br />
to fitout the facility, as well as for stage<br />
two which includes an apartment block with<br />
five apartments each with two-three bedrooms,<br />
and communal spaces for training,<br />
education, creativity, music, performance<br />
and events.<br />

Enviro Master helping<br />
Cantabrians<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when<br />
it comes to choosing the perfect heat<br />
pump or air conditioning system for<br />
their home or office since 2002.<br />
Their team of expert sales people,<br />
qualified electricians, heating and<br />
refrigeration engineers, help to supply<br />
and install one of Christchurch’s<br />
widest range of heat pumps including<br />
Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin<br />
and Fujitsu. Because they have no<br />
affiliation with any one brand, you can<br />
be assured their advice on the benefits<br />
and differences between each product is<br />
unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most<br />
energy-efficient and cost-effective system<br />
for your individual situation, and will<br />
have you regulating the heat in your<br />
home or office in no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often<br />
wanting whole home solutions to be<br />
able to maintain even temperatures<br />
throughout the home both in Winter<br />
and Summer. This can be achieved by<br />
using ducted systems or multi systems<br />
and Enviro Master are experts in<br />
designing, installing and commissioning<br />
these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy offering 80 per cent<br />
of the cost of a new heat pump up to<br />
$3000 including GST.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer<br />
Kiwi Homes initiative and is available<br />
to Home owner/occupiers with a<br />
Community Services Card, a SuperGold<br />
combo card or who live in a low-income<br />
area as determined by deciles 8-10 on<br />
the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />
The applicant’s home must also have<br />
been built before 2008, have insulation<br />
up to code (insulation subsidies also<br />
available) and have no fixed heating<br />
in any living area, such as an existing<br />
operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have.<br />
This consultation is at no cost to the<br />
customer and is always provided before a<br />
heat pump is installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their<br />
eligibility for a subsidised heat pump are<br />
welcome to get in touch for details and<br />
help with the application process.<br />

New bus route unlikely due<br />
to uncertainty over funding<br />
• By Dylan Smits<br />
A LONG requested bus for<br />
Governors Bay is looking<br />
doubtful as Environment<br />
Canterbury reels in ambitions<br />
for route extensions.<br />
For many years, residents<br />
have been wanting public<br />
transport access to the bay<br />
through Dyers Pass Rd and<br />
some hoped<br />
a new bus<br />
route would<br />
be included in<br />
ECan’s Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
Christchurch<br />
South<br />
councillor<br />
Vicky Southworth<br />
believes<br />
Vicky<br />
Southworth<br />
the Government is unlikely to<br />
allocate enough public transport<br />
funding for a Governors<br />
Bay extension to go ahead.<br />
“This time it’s probably<br />
unlikely. Not least because<br />
we haven’t got confirmation<br />
from the Government as to<br />
what funding they’ll put in,”<br />
Southworth said.<br />
Fifteen per cent of Canterbury’s<br />
public transport is<br />
funded by fares, with remaining<br />
costs split evenly between<br />
ECan and the NZ Transport<br />
Agency.<br />
ACCESS: Governors Bay residents have been lobbying<br />
for a bus route extension for many years.<br />

starmedia.kiwi<br />
ECan will finalise its long<br />
term plan in late June and<br />
NZTA will not disclose funding<br />
availability for network<br />
extensions until September.<br />
Governors Bay Community<br />
Association chair John Bannock<br />
was unsurprised by the<br />
route’s likely absence from the<br />
Long Term Plan.<br />
“From Governors Bay’s perspective,<br />
they’d be struggling<br />
to be less ambitious than they<br />
already have been.”<br />
The community association<br />
and other residents have submitted<br />
in favour of a bus route<br />
since before the earthquakes.<br />
Bannock questioned whether<br />
the potential lack of NZTA<br />
funding was a legitimate<br />
excuse.<br />
“It’s a convenient story to<br />
tell at the moment, in spite of a<br />
lack of action in the past.”<br />
Southworth expressed support<br />
for a Governors Bay route,<br />
but said the regional council<br />
will likely prioritise other network<br />
extensions.<br />
“I’m the deputy chair of the<br />
transport and urban development<br />
committee. I feel I have to<br />
take a pragmatic view.”<br />
The other Christchurch<br />
South councillor, Paul Dietsche<br />
said more investigation was<br />
needed on the proposed route<br />
and did not wish to comment<br />
further.<br />
Ngāi Tahu councillor Nuk<br />
Korako, who is affiliated with<br />
Rāpaki Marae, did not respond<br />
to request for comment.<br />
An ECan spokesperson said<br />
there are no figures available<br />
for the potential cost of a<br />
Governors Bay route extension.<br />
During public feedback on<br />
the ECan draft Long Term<br />
Plan, Governors Bay Jetty Trust<br />
chair Prue Miller submitted in<br />
favour of extending the route.<br />
Miller understands a lack of<br />
funding may present a barrier<br />
for ECan this year, but hopes<br />
it will be included in the next<br />
plan review.<br />
“It is very disappointing<br />
because we’ve been living in<br />
hope for many years.”<br />

Stylish Yaris Cross SUV shades its sibling<br />
TOYOTA’S decision to create<br />
an SUV version of the Yaris, its<br />
smallest car, has been a master<br />
stroke, although naming it the<br />
‘Cross’ less so, but even that hasn’t<br />
stopped it becoming one of the<br />
company’s best selling small<br />
vehicles.<br />
It shares the same well-proven<br />
and engineered chassis, suspension<br />
and powertrain from the<br />
fourth generation Yaris.<br />
The end result is a highly<br />
competent, functional, and stylish<br />
vehicle packed with a full suite of<br />
safety and driver assist technologies.<br />
Practicality, more room and<br />
style make even its higher price a<br />
more desirable vehicle for many<br />
compared to the diminutive fivedoor<br />
Yaris.<br />
Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />
There is a sizeable difference<br />
between the Yaris hatch and it’s in<br />
favour of the Cross sibling.<br />
Overall, it’s 240mm longer, has<br />
50mm more front overhang and<br />
a whopping 180mm at the rear.<br />
It has an additional extra 30mm<br />
worth of ground clearance and<br />
stands 90mm taller, enabling the<br />
Yaris Cross to stand tall in the<br />
mini urban SUV class.<br />
First step on the Yaris Cross ladder<br />
is the $38,990 GX. From there<br />
it’s a sizeable monetary leap to<br />
the $45,190 GR Sport, and a more<br />
modest $1000 jump into the flagship<br />
Limited. You can personalise<br />
for a further $1000 with a nifty<br />
two-tone paint job.<br />

something cleaner and greener,<br />
the distinctive Yaris Cross makes<br />
a compelling case with super low<br />
CO 2 engine emissions of just 76g/<br />
km. The 1.5-litre three-cylinder<br />
petrol electric hybrid system has a<br />
combined power output of 85kW.<br />
In urban motoring, the hybrid<br />
has amazingly low engine noise<br />
levels. The cabin becomes a cone<br />
of silence when the hybrid system<br />
is running in electric-only mode,<br />
something it regularly does for<br />
long periods on flat urban roads.<br />
City driving is very much the<br />
happy place for this fashionable<br />
little SUV, an environment it was<br />
designed for.<br />
Taking the Cross beyond urban<br />
limits nudges it, and the driver,<br />
ever-so-slightly out of their respective<br />
comfort zones.<br />
Longer open road trips are<br />
doable and the test vehicle was<br />
comfortable enough on a 200-kilometre<br />
roadie. A direct shift CVT<br />
(continuously variable transmission)<br />
is purpose-built to deliver<br />
on its claimed 3.5L/100km fuel<br />
economy.<br />
The cabin has a sophisticated<br />
and comfortable feel and its<br />
390-litre luggage capacity is good,<br />
but not class leading.<br />
While larger than the Yaris<br />
hatch, the cabin still feels snug and<br />
taller back seat passengers will<br />
lament the lack of rear legroom as<br />
they rest their chin on their knees.<br />
This is tolerable for short<br />
around town trips, which to be fair<br />
is what the vehicle is built for, but<br />
it’s not a fun place for the longerlegged<br />
on long journeys.<br />
This is another Toyota model<br />
that benefits from the company’s<br />
acclaimed Safety Sense systems<br />
and advanced driver assistance<br />
functions. They help those behind<br />
the wheel avoid a wide range of<br />
common crash risks using driver<br />
information, early warnings, and,<br />
if needed, automatic braking and<br />
steering intervention.<br />
The ride and handling exemplify<br />
this, proving neat and tidy, hardly<br />
putting a foot out of place. The<br />
suspension is balanced and nimble<br />
and answered the big questions<br />
asked of it over twisty terrain.<br />
The extra height and ground<br />
clearance means more body roll<br />
if you quicken the pace through<br />
tight corners, and is an area where<br />
the lower slung Yaris hatch has a<br />
distinct edge.<br />
The steering could do with more<br />
road feel, although the weighting<br />
is right on point making the test<br />
vehicle easy to park in even the<br />
most confined parking spaces.<br />
