Blocked pipes blamed for<br />
repeated surface flooding<br />
• By Adam Burns<br />
FRUSTRATED New Brighton<br />
residents believe a lack of<br />
drainpipe maintenance is leaving<br />
the area needlessly exposed to<br />
flooding.<br />
Heavy rain fell in the city last<br />
Tuesday morning, resulting in<br />
shin-deep flooding across parts of<br />
New Brighton.<br />
The flooding subsided within<br />
a couple of hours after local<br />
authorities rushed to clear the<br />
outflow pipes which had left parts<br />
of Marine Pde and Pacific Rd<br />
awash. The affected roads had<br />
been reopened by the afternoon.<br />
An update from city council<br />
staff on the day explained leaves<br />
blocked some sumps which had<br />
slowed the drainage of surface<br />
water.<br />
“Out east we are aware of a<br />
couple of locations where surface<br />
flooding occurred, however,<br />
contractors were on site early<br />
managing traffic and clearing the<br />
key outfalls.<br />
“Once this occurred, the water<br />
drained away quickly.”<br />
Some residents say it has<br />
become the norm when there was<br />
heavy rain.<br />
But North Beach Residents’<br />
Association chair Kim Money<br />
said the lack of maintenance<br />
for sand-blanketed outfall pipes<br />
could leave homes vulnerable.<br />
“It will go into houses,” she<br />
said.<br />
“It’s certainly something that<br />
frustrates me immensely because<br />
“The frustrating thing is<br />
that this whole thing is<br />
avoidable, by clearing the<br />
outfalls before the rain<br />
comes.’’<br />
– Kim Money<br />
North Beach Residents’<br />
Association chair<br />
I understand it is something that<br />
is a relatively easy fix.<br />
“The longer it takes the council<br />
and (Citycare) to come and clear<br />
the outfall drains on the beach,<br />
the larger the buildup of water on<br />
Marine Pde.<br />
“It needs to be addressed<br />
straight away . . . it affects<br />
residents all the time.”<br />
Money explained the buildup<br />
issue was symptomatic of an<br />
“accreting” shoreline.<br />
A NIWA report commissioned<br />
by the city council in 2018<br />
suggested the majority of the<br />
city’s coastline was experiencing<br />
accretion, where the shoreline<br />
builds up as the coast advances<br />
seaward.<br />
“As soon as we get those ocean<br />
outfall pipes covered in sand, the<br />
SUBMERGED: Heavy rain caused flooding in parts of New Brighton last Tuesday.<br />
Residents believe a lack of maintenance on beach outflow pipes is responsible for the<br />
recurring problem.<br />
water just can’t get out from the<br />
street,” Money said.<br />
“The frustrating thing is that<br />
this whole thing is avoidable, by<br />
clearing the outfalls before the<br />
rain comes.”<br />
Money said a proposed<br />
extension of the outfall pipeline at<br />
Cygnet St could mitigate some of<br />
the problems, or reallocating the<br />
maintenance burden to coastal<br />
community park rangers.<br />
The council said in a statement<br />
the flooding was due to leaves<br />
blocking grates and the ocean<br />
outfall being covered in sand.<br />
Contractors were on site about<br />
8.<strong>30</strong>-9am and cleared the grates<br />
and ocean outfall at the end of<br />
Cygnet St.<br />
The surface flooding was all<br />
cleared before noon.<br />
Prior to any significant<br />
events city council contractors<br />
proactively clear key drains,<br />
grates and outfalls.<br />
“When we clear the outfalls<br />
along the coast, our contractors<br />
need to do this following a high<br />
tide as if we do this at the wrong<br />
stage of the tide, then they will<br />
just get covered in sand again,” a<br />
city council spokesperson said.<br />

Gateway plan<br />
off to council<br />
for approval<br />
FIXING earthquake damage<br />
and improving emergency<br />
resilience for the key route in<br />
and out of New Brighton is a step<br />
closer.<br />
The Gateway to New Brighton<br />
project has now been approved<br />
by a hearings panel and will see<br />
major upgrades to Pages Rd, a<br />
new bridge and improvements to<br />
surrounding streets.<br />
Other key upgrades<br />
include:<br />
• A new T-intersection<br />
and traffic lights to replace<br />
the roundabout at Pages<br />
Rd, Hawke St and Seaview<br />
Rd<br />
• No vehicle access to<br />
the T-intersection from<br />
Owles Tce and New<br />
Brighton Rd<br />
• A lane change on Pages Rd<br />
westbound from one to two lanes<br />
• Intersection modifications,<br />
kerb buildouts, pedestrian<br />
crossings and parking changes<br />
on surrounding streets<br />
“This bridge is the most significant<br />
transport project in our<br />
city and is a lifeline to the east,”<br />
Celeste<br />
Donovan<br />
panel chair and Coastal Ward<br />
councillor Celeste Donovan said.<br />
“It will significantly improve<br />
traffic flow after events such as<br />
the fireworks and allow for a<br />
quicker emergency evacuation.<br />
“The new bridge and road will<br />
be more resilient to future earthquakes<br />
and the effects of climate<br />
change, replacing the nearly 100<br />
year old bridge damaged in the<br />
earthquakes.<br />
“It’s been a huge concern<br />
for the community,<br />
so we need to deliver it<br />
without further delays.”<br />
The current roundabout<br />
area will become a<br />
pocket park featuring the<br />
existing palm tree, and<br />
the traffic lights will be<br />
moved slightly north.<br />
MOVING FORWARD: The plan to replace the earthquake-damaged Pages Rd bridge and<br />
improve surrounding streets has been approved by a hearings panel and will now go to<br />
the full council for approval.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE<br />
The new bridge will be<br />
built further north from its<br />
current position, so the existing<br />
bridge can be used during the<br />
construction period.<br />
A number of changes to the<br />
project’s original design plan<br />
were also proposed by the panel,<br />
such as including space for additional<br />
parking on Hawke and<br />
Rawson Sts and on Seaview Rd.<br />
The panel requested staff<br />
report back on safety and cost<br />
implications for the removal of<br />
the kerb build-out outside the<br />
police station and recommended<br />
changing the shared path on<br />
Seaview Rd to a footpath and<br />
separated cycle lane.<br />
The panel also requested staff<br />
report back to the council on a<br />
location for a pedestrian refuge<br />
island and wider footpaths on<br />
Hardy St to make the streets<br />
safer for surrounding schools.<br />
The panel’s recommendations<br />
will be presented to the full<br />
council for final approval.<br />

We turned to Cameron as we wanted the high profile that we knew would come<br />
from listing with him. What we didn’t realise prior to dealing with him and his<br />
amazing team is how geniune he is. Everything happened when it was meant to<br />
and he held us together when we needed it. I also felt listened to and at no time<br />
ever did I feel spoken down to, something I know a lot of agents can do.<br />
Sam, who works as part of his team, was truely amazing and if she ever changes<br />
her career should consider politics.<br />
All in all I cannot encourage you enough to consider Cameron when you sell<br />
your house.<br />

Rose winner honouring her heritage<br />
• By Nina Tapu<br />
A FATHER’S love for his Irish<br />
homeland motivated the national<br />
winner of the Rose of Tralee to<br />
enter the event.<br />
Keely O’Grady, 21, was awarded<br />
the <strong>2024</strong> title in Invercargill on<br />
Saturday night after years of<br />
encouragement from her father<br />
“to stay connected to her Irish<br />
culture”.<br />
Surprised by her win, the Canterbury<br />
representative credited her<br />
father’s persistence for exploring<br />
her Irish identity.<br />
The Rose of Tralee celebrates<br />
young women of Irish heritage in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
“As soon as I turned 18, I was<br />
messaged by my dad every year to<br />
enter but the timing’s never been<br />
quite right because of my university<br />
studies,” O’Grady said.<br />
“I finally entered and was inspired<br />
by my dad and just wanted<br />
to make him proud of me.”<br />
O’Grady will complete her<br />
bachelor of speech and language<br />
pathology degree from Canterbury<br />
University while undertaking<br />
her Rose of Tralee duties.<br />
She was chosen from 10 other<br />
hopefuls to represent New Zealand<br />
at the International Rose<br />
of Tralee festival held in Tralee,<br />
Ireland in August.<br />
The festival was formed in 1959<br />
and is held annually in Ireland. It<br />
celebrates women and appoints<br />
a female ambassador for Irish<br />
culture and heritage.<br />
ROSY GLOW: Keely O’Grady, of Canterbury, was awarded the national Rose of Tralee title in<br />
Invercargill on Saturday.<br />
“Over there you will have every<br />
country’s Rose represented and<br />
it’s a massive celebration of Irish<br />
culture and Irish heritage.<br />
“This is an amazing opportunity,”<br />
she said.<br />

Her father’s family hailed from<br />
County Wicklow and she attributed<br />
a childhood “growing up<br />
OFF ABROAD: Keely<br />

part in the Rose of Tralee<br />

around Irish sport, Irish music,<br />
and especially Irish dance” to<br />
them.<br />
Irish dance had been a huge part<br />
of her life since she was six.<br />
“One day my dad showed me a<br />
video of Riverdance and from then<br />
on my heart was hooked and I’m<br />
still Irish dancing at 21.”<br />
Being chosen to represent New<br />
Zealand was an honour, and gaining<br />
“10 new friends that were some<br />
of the smartest and most talented,<br />
kind girls that I’ve met in my life”<br />
made the competition a “meaningful<br />
experience”, she said.<br />
O’Grady was thankful for<br />
being selected and vowed to use<br />
the opportunity to promote “selfdevelopment<br />
and confidence” to<br />
young girls.<br />

Neighbouring homes up<br />
for auction on same day<br />
THE OWNERS of three<br />
neighbouring properties are<br />
selling their houses at exactly the<br />
same time and it’s no coincidence.<br />
The new builds located in<br />
Prestons Park were deliberately<br />
launched for sale on the same day<br />
last week and will be sold at the<br />
same auction by the same real<br />
estate agent, One Roof reported.<br />
Harcourts Grenadier listing<br />
agent Andrew Steel said he hoped<br />
marketing numbers 35, 41 and<br />
43 Timara Cres at the same time<br />
would attract more buyers. They<br />
will be auctioned on June 13.<br />
Steel, who has already sold<br />
about 20 properties in the Prestons<br />
Park subdivision, including<br />
five houses on Timara Cres, said<br />
he pitched his idea to the different<br />
owners and they were all on<br />
board.<br />
“It’s not often you get three<br />
houses for sale in the same street.<br />
Yes, they are new builds, but<br />
they are smaller-type builders or<br />
developers,” he told One Roof.<br />
“What I’ve said to them individually<br />
is ‘look, each of your<br />
houses are different and I see the<br />
pulling power of you all having a<br />
campaign together’.”<br />
While it was a calculated risk,<br />
he did not think the houses<br />
would be competing against each<br />
other because they were unique<br />
and at different price points.<br />
ON THE BLOCK: Three new builds on Timara Cres, Prestons,<br />
have different owners who have all decided to list their<br />
properties together. Pictured is the house at No 41.<br />
The two three-bedroom<br />
properties at 41 and 43 are sideby-side<br />
on 442sq m sections with<br />
a view out to the lake, while the<br />
third property at number 35 is<br />
a four-bedroom, two-bathroom<br />
home on a slightly smaller plot of<br />
land.<br />
Prestons Park was launched six<br />
years ago and Timara Cres is one<br />
of the latest areas to be developed.<br />
Said Steel: “A lot of the ones<br />
in this subdivision are three and<br />
four-bedroom homes so you<br />
tend to attract that family style of<br />
ownership.<br />
“I think new builds are a real<br />
attraction because it’s all built to<br />
the latest codes.”<br />
FOR SALE: The property at<br />
35 Timara Cres is several<br />
doors down from the other<br />
two and does not have a<br />
water outlook.<br />
Recent sales in the street<br />
include two four-bedroom, twobathroom<br />
homes that sold at the<br />
end of last year for $955,000, and<br />
$1.02m.<br />

We need your help to fill our beds.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre has<br />
23 beds for tamariki to stay during<br />
times of whānau stress or crisis. On<br />
average just 17 of these beds are filled<br />
due to resourcing constraints.<br />
Every empty bed is a missed<br />
opportunity to support a child in need.<br />
Donate today to give Canterbury<br />
tamariki a safe place to sleep.<br />
Cholmondeley Children’s Centre provides<br />
short term emergency or planned respite care<br />
for tamariki when they need extra support due<br />
to complications at home.<br />
Cholmondeley is an independent charity<br />
and costs just under $3,000,000 per year to<br />
run. 20% of this figure is met by Government<br />
funding, and the remaining 80% comes from<br />
the generous support of the Canterbury<br />
community.<br />
