Residents still waiting as 

repairs to street delayed 

• By Dylan Smits 

WORK TO reopen a Lyttelton 

street has been delayed after being 

closed at one end for nearly two 

years. 

Ross Pde residents are frustrated 

by what they consider another 

broken promise from the city 

council which told Bay Harbour 

News in February a retaining wall 

at the site would be finished by 

this month. 

Ken Claydon said a city council 

letter last week informed residents 

of a delay in designing the 

retaining wall and road repair, 

which will only be completed this 

month, with construction starting 

about the end of the year. 

“They’re full of it, because it’s 

been two years for a simple retaining 

wall,” said Claydon. 

Claydon and his partner Kathy 

Bessant have continued to deal 

with numerous inconveniences on 

their “truck-wide” street since part 

of the road slipped down a slope 

in July 2022 after heavy rain. 

The street is closed at the Ross 

Tce entrance. 

“Deliveries are still a problem. 

It’s really hard getting in and out 

if you’re not a capable backer,” said 

Claydon. 

FRUSTRATED: Ross Pde residents Ken Claydon and Kathy Bessant at the Jacksons Rd 

entrance to their street. They want to see the city council make progress on the reopening 

which has been delayed until the end of the year. 

As far as Claydon can tell, no 

city council staff or contractors 

have visited the street recently 

and there have been no obvious 

changes at the site. 

“When we had our own 

council (Banks Peninsula District 

Council) it would have been done 

immediately after the slip.” 

Council city streets maintenance 

manager Steve Guy said 

“the work has been delayed due 

to several issues which have now 

been resolved’’. 

He said this was later than the 

city council hoped, “due to the 

design phase taking longer than 

expected’’. 

Guy did not respond to questions 

from Bay Harbour News 

about what the issues which 

caused the delay were.. 

Guy said a retaining wall was 

necessary to make the road safe, 

after which remediation and 

repair work will be carried out at 

the slip site. 

“We’re expecting to have 

detailed design on the construction 

project completed at the 

beginning of June and from there, 

subject to approval, construction 

will start in late 2024.”

Quotes sought for upgrades 

to Little River Domain 


PROPOSED upgrades to the 

Little River Domain will require 

about $180,000 in city council 

funding. 

City council staff have 

encouraged the Awa-iti Reserve 

Committee to get exact costings 

on three key projects at the 

domain. 

The Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board also advised the reserve 

committee to get quotes for the 

projects when it accepted the 

committee’s triennial plan at its 

May meeting. 

Reserve committee chair 

Dean White is now seeking 

quotes from contractors and 

funding options in addition to 

the city council. 

The committee’s first priority 

is the repair and maintenance of 

the heritage tennis pavilion. 

An initial estimate by the 

committee last month put the 

cost at $30,000. 

“After some neglect over the 

years it is in need of repairs to 

ensure its longevity. The funds 

requested will be used to prevent 

further decline in the state of 

UPGRADE: The Awa-iti Reserve Committee has requested 

city council funding for three projects at the Little River 

Domain. It wants to repair the heritage tennis pavilion, 

replace field lights and install information boards. 

the building including weather 

board repairs, ensuring the 

building is weather tight and 

painting,” said White. 

White said the pavilion 

would be a community asset 

once repaired, and could help 

reinvigorate the disestablished 

tennis club. He hopes to have 

the pavilion repaired by next the 

end of next year. 

The committee is also requesting 

funding for new field lights 

at the domain. 

“The current field lights are 

outdated and inefficient, and the 

addition of new lights would not 

only enhance the safety 

and security of the area for 

sports training, but could also 

provide a necessary landing 

zone for emergency medical 

helicopters,” White said. 

He believed the Banks Peninsula 

rugby and netball clubs 

would benefit from brighter 

lighting during evening trainings. 

The committee estimates 

replacement lights would cost 

about $150,000. 

“The lights are a long-term 

project, a good to have not a 

must have. Unlike the pavilion, 

which is wasting away.” 

The committee also wants 

funding for information boards 

around the domain, explaining 

the history of the area, the pavilion 

and the nearby library. 

The estimated cost is about 

$5000. 

“I believe that investing in 

these projects will not only 

preserve our heritage and 

enhance our domain but 

also contribute to the overall 

health and well-being of our 

community,” White said.

of roasted peanuts ... The bestselling author of The 

Cause of Death and The Quick and the Dead returns with 

more stranger-than-fiction stories of death, disease and

THIS BOOK 

The Life of Dai 

by Dai Henwood 

A deeply moving and profoundly uplifting story about living with joy, 

even in the face of adversity. ‘Part memoir and part masterclass in 

finding hope and joy in the face of unthinkable challenges. This isn’t a 

book about cancer, it’s a book about living’ – Jaquie Brown 

Dai Henwood wanted to be a comedian even before he knew what a 

comedian was. He always knew there was something special in being 

able to make people laugh. 

Over a 25-year career, the much-loved Kiwi entertainer and TV host 

has won every major comedy award in New Zealand. But in January 

2023, Dai shared publicly that three years earlier he had been 

diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer. 

Perhaps the ultimate teacher for what really matters, Dai’s incurable 

cancer has shown him a new way of living that embraces small 

moments of perfection and cherishes things we often overlook. 

As well as showing us how laughter can be a wonderful medicine – 

and there are many laughs in his book – Dai teaches us that often the 

gifts we’ve been searching for are right in front of us, if only we could 

see them.

Wrong place, wrong time 

for fire-lighting youngsters 


A GROUP of youngsters could 

not have picked a worse place to 

try light fires – behind the Akaroa 

Fire Station. 

They were spotted playing with 

matches and setting patches of 

grass on fire in a bush area of 

Stanley Park. 

Four firefighters who had been 

watching from the station told 

them to ‘knock it off’. 

“They were bored basically, 

but it was a really stupid thing to 

do,” said chief 

fire officer Mark 

Thomson. 

He said there 

is a large amount 

of residential 

property 

bordering Stanley 

Park which could 

have been put at 

risk if a large fire 

started. 

The crew spent about 30 

Mark 

Thomson 

minutes inspecting the nearby 

manuka trees for burns and 

doused small areas which the 

youngsters had ignited with the 

matches. 

“We then just put a thermal 

camera on to make sure 

everything was put out properly, 

INTERRUPTED: Four Akaroa volunteer firefighters stopped 

kids from lighting fires with matches in Stanley Park on 

Sunday. 

because manuka is very 

flammable,” Thomson said. 

He said people playing with 

matches or attempting to light 

fires was a major concern. 

“Especially when there’s houses 

near the manuka and manuka is 

very flammable.” 

Thomson said given February’s 

damaging Port Hills fires, it was 

everyone’s responsibility to be fire 

safe regardless of age.

Artist’s cathedral window tribute 


A LITTLE RIVER artist’s rusted 

interpretation of the Christ 

Church Cathedral window 

symbolises the city’s rebirth, and 

will feature in a charity art show 

which starts on Friday. 

Jane Downes’ Steel Rose Window 

uses the circular mandala 

art form of the original window 

which represents the post-earthquake 

recovery journey back to 

peace and normalcy for Christchurch. 

“I use the mandala form 

in many of my works as the 

perfect geometry gives a 

sense of calm, balance and 

harmony,” Downes said. 

She often rusts her work, 

which in this case represents 

the city’s transformation 

since the earthquakes. 

“It can be interpreted as 

a historical message about the city, 

how things have transformed over 

time with the recovery.” 

Proceeds from the Ferrymead 

Rotary Club Art Show on Friday 

and Saturday will help fund the 

club’s community initiatives. 

These include supporting 

students to attend the National 

Science and Technology Forum, 

providing teaching materials for 

the House of Science educational 

programme, meals for families 

at Ronald McDonald House, and 

Bob 

Thayer 

funds to assist Estuary Fest. 

Artists will highlight and sell 

their pieces with proceeds split 

between them and the club’s 

projects. 

“It’s a great opportunity to get 

your work out there to a different 

audience,” said Downes. 

Art show co-coordinator 

Bob Thayer hopes visitors will 

appreciate the range of art 

available and the opportunity to 

support community initiatives. 

Canterbury University students 

will also display their 

work. 

“We’re keen on supporting 

youth in the community 

as up-and-coming 

artists and it gives the 

public an opportunity to 

buy works at a reasonable 

price,” Thayer said. 

It will be the first chance 

for many of the students 

to exhibit and make money off 

their art. 

The opening night auction will 

feature works donated by other 

artists including Kathrine Mateer, 

Rae Manson, Linda Burns, Jackie 

Hancock, Tricia Hewlett and 

Lynette Colton. 

Entry costs $20 on Friday for 

the auction evening, drinks and 

nibbles included, from 6-9pm. 

A gold coin donation is needed 

for the Saturday show which runs 

from 9am-4pm. 

SCULPTOR: Little River artist Jane Downes’ Steel Rose Window will be auctioned off by the 

Ferrymead Rotary Club with some of the proceeds going towards community initiatives.

HOOKED: Take a Kid Fishing, an event that

LAYBY WELCOME 

THE HUGELY popular Take a 

Kid Fishing will return to The 

Groynes in September. 

Organisers have announced 

the event is back on the 

calendar this year, after it was 

cancelled in 2023. 

Said Kids Fishing Trust 

trustee Dave Denton: “We 

are thrilled to bring back the 

Take a Kid Fishing event to 

Christchurch. 

“Despite the setbacks of last 

year, we remain committed 

to our mission of creating 

memorable experiences that 

inspire a lifelong love of fishing 

and conservation in our 

youth.” 

Unforeseen challenges led 

to last year’s community event 

being cancelled. 

On Facebook, the group 

said late notice from North 

Canterbury Fish & Game that 

release of hatchery-reared 

commercial origin salmon 

into The Groynes would not be 

approved under their revised 

national policy, which had led 

to the cancellation. 

Denton said this year’s 

event promised to be a day of 

fun, learning, and bonding 

between generations. 

“Fuelled by the support of 

our sponsors, volunteers and 

the local community, we have 

redoubled our efforts to make 

this year’s event bigger and 

better than ever before.” 

Take a Kid Fishing will be 

held on Sunday, September 29. 

Denton said the day was 

designed to introduce children 

to the joys of fishing while 

fostering a deeper appreciation 

for our natural environment. 

“From casting lessons to 

tackle demonstrations, our 

experienced volunteers will be 

on hand to provide guidance 

and encouragement every step 

of the way. Free loan fishing 

equipment is available. 

“In addition to the fishing 

activities, attendees can 

look forward to educational 

sessions, conservation, and live 

demonstrations, throughout 

the day. Families are 

encouraged to pack a picnic 

and make a day of it, enjoying 

the scenic beauty of the 

Groynes while making lasting 

memories together.” 

He invited families across 

Christchurch to cast lines, 

reel in some fun, and create 

unforgettable moments on the 

water.

SPORT 


Footballers keen to pass on their skills 


TWO FOOTBALLERS who 

have been playing in Germany 

plan to run free clinics in 

Diamond Harbour. 

Australian Nick Simpson, 24, 

and Georgian Robert Gingichashvili, 

25, played professionally 

for regional German clubs 

before coming to Canterbury to 

play for FC Twenty 11. But that 

association didn’t last and they 

are now playing for Nomads in 

the South Island League. 

Simpson and Gingichashvili 

decided to make Diamond Harbour 

home after a visit. 

“The ocean with the mountains 

is so beautiful. I was in 

shock when I first got out here. 

I’ve never seen anything like it in 

my life,” said Simpson. 

The footballers plan to run free 

weekly sessions at the Diamond 

Harbour Rugby Club, with individual 

trainings also available. 

They want to give kids passionate 

about football the opportunity 

to excel. 

“We both were speaking 

about how to give back our 

knowledge and experience of 

what we’ve learned in Germany 

to the younger generation,” said 

Simpson. 

In Germany, Simpson played 

for teams including Fortuna 

Köln and Gingichashvili for 

Phönix Lübeck. 

SKILLS: Now living in Diamond Harbour, Nomads players Nick Simpson (left) and Robert Gingichashvili are offering free 

kids coaching and mentoring services. The pair used to play professional football in Germany. 

However, playing football 

in New Zealand has required 

adapting to a different style. 

“In Germany and Europe, it’s a 

bit more physical and tactical. I’d 

say Kiwis are very, very athletic 

and fit, so that changes the 

football,” said Simpson. 

Their aim is for the Nomads to 

qualify for the National League 

championship, which takes the 

top two teams in the Southern 

League. 

They also hope to be mentors 

as well as coaches to interested 

youngsters. 

“Football has always been 

my passion and pride, and I’ve 

wanted to be a professional 

footballer since I was six. We 

want to help guide them, not 

only on the pitch but off the 

pitch,” said Simpson. 

Gingichashvili believes his 

experience in a range of football 

clubs will be helpful for coaching. 

“I trained from amateur football 

to professional football all by 

myself. I don’t want other kids 

to be in the same position where 

they don’t know what to do or 

who to ask about advancing.” 

Throughout their football 

careers, Simpson and 

Gingichashvili have faced the 

challenges of harsh coaches and 

rejections. 

“That stuff used to affect me 

a lot when I was younger, so if I 

can help these kids bounce back 

and get over mental obstacles, 

that would be really rewarding,” 

said Simpson. 

The drive to Christchurch for 

training is worth it. 

“We would rather drive the 

50 minutes than live in the city. 

We just love it here so much,” 

Simpson said. 

Those interested in coaching 

sessions can contact Simpson on 

027 361 5267.

Premium CX-90 joins Mazda’s ranks 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

MAZDA HAS launched a twopronged 

attack on our medium 

and large SUV market with its 

CX-60 and CX-90, a couple of 

genuine standouts that should 

have their rivals worried. 

The CX-90 is a worthy flagship 

that’s wider, longer, and more aggressively 

proportioned than any 

current Mazda. Joining Mazda’s 

respected SUV range, these two 

are the first products to launch 

off Mazda’s new Large Product 

platform, bringing fresh new designs 

paired with highly efficient, 

electrified power trains. 

Both the CX-60 and the CX- 

90 are the most important new 

models for Mazda in a generation. 

Easily the largest and most imposing 

model is the highly specified 

$92,990 CX-90 Takami inline 

six being evaluated here, amidst 

claims about it using less fuel and 

producing fewer emissions from a 

fair lump of an engine. 

The CX-90 is offered exclusively 

with Mazda’s most powerful 

production engine ever – a 3.3L 

inline six-cylinder motor featuring 

48V mild-hybrid assist technology. 

Engines of this type and size are 

almost a throwback to the 1980s 

and 1990s, to the large Ford and 

Holden Aussie sixes back then. 

Of course those motors and this 

newcomer have absolutely nothing 

in common, apart from similar 

engine capacities. 

The CX-90 motor is a totally different 

beast, with 254kW of power 

and heaps of low speed heft thanks 

to 500Nm of torque. 

Not surprisingly it’s easily outpointed 

in just about every direction 

on the performance compass 

by this mighty new sophisticated 

and refined six. It’s a highly accomplished 

and well-crafted 

motor, and a class standout for 

smoothness and refinement that 

not only equals, but also betters a 

number of more costly rivals. 

This is one of the most relaxing, 

yet responsive, luxury SUVs I have 

driven in the $100k price bracket, 

with excellent low-speed throttle 

response and pulling power. 

This new generation motor has 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 8; Handling 7; Build Quality 

8; Comfort 8; Passenger and Load Space 8; Value for 

money 8; Road test avg consumption 10.2L /100km; Safety 

– ANCAP crash rating 5 star. 

Overall points out of 10: 8 

a new polished gear-changing 

companion in the form of a freshly 

developed 8-speed automatic. 

That’s two extra ratios than the 

long serving 6-speed automatic 

that’s still a mainstay of the 

current Mazda range. 

The CX-90 Takami offers voluminous 

amounts of people and 

load space and seven-seat versatility. 

Mazda have got the luxury 

detailing right with a 12-speaker 

Bose surround sound system, 360 

View Monitor camera system plus 

Adaptive LED Headlights with 

glare-free high beam. Black Nappa 

leather trim with heated and ventilated 

front seats and bright roof 

rails give the CX-90 a good nudge 

even further up Quality St. 

Mazda i-Activsense safety 

throws an all-encompassing security 

blanket around the vehicle’s 

occupants, with 10 airbags radar 

cruise control and blind spot 

monitoring with vehicle exit warning 

function. The system isn’t done 

there, with a driver fatigue monitoring 

camera and a lane-keep 

assist with departure warning. 

For its size and weight, body roll 

is well disciplined and managed 

even when travelling briskly over 

undulating roads. 

The all-wheel drive system 

brings commendable stickability 

and tenacity to the road holding 

and handling party. 

Mazda sets a high benchmark 

for consistently communicative 

and nicely weighted steering, and 

this vehicle delivers. 

I admire how the CX-90 intelligently 

blends exceptional luxury, 

space, pace, ride and road holding, 

to create one of the most convincing 

large premium luxury sevenseat 

SUVs on our market.
