Highly skilled, he’s as adept with a paintbrush as working with bronze. Smith exhibits regularly at Little River Gallery, his latest ‘Islands’ opens on July 4th and runs until the 29th. ‘Land Ahoy!’ …An island in the South Seas could be a tantalising paradise of exotica and allure. It could also be a magnet for emissaries of northern empires with ‘Discovery and Conquest’ on their agendas. Later arrivals would upturn its sands looking for gold - in real estate rather than sea-chests. Islands can also be psychological. Are you at peace on your outcrop of perception - or are you stranded, hoping for a life-line? As we emerge from our imposed islands of isolation (having repelled another invader) Ashley hopes your day is warmed and brightened by these quirky reminders of our unique geography and landform.” Ashley Smith Tracey McLellan for Banks Peninsula Get in touch: 027 227 3969 /traceymclellanlabour tracey.mclellan@labour.org.nz @traceymclellan Ashley Smith ISLANDS 4 - 29 JULY 2020 www.labour.org.nz Authorised by Dianna Lacy, 160 Willis Street, Wellington littlerivergallery.com Main Rd, Little River | 03 325 1944 art@littlerivergallery.com
Wednesday July 1 2020 Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz BAY HARBOUR PAGE 3 News Guidance on cruise ships anchoring in Akaroa Harbour Jim Dilley ENVIRONMENT Canterbury has issued guidance to cruise ship masters and operators wanting to anchor in Akaroa Harbour from November 2021. ECan previously gave vessel operators until October 31, 2021, to undertake independent scientific studies to demonstrate that they can comply with a set of rules, otherwise they would not be permitted to anchor. This included proving they were not causing adverse environmental effects, showing they have applied ANCHORED: Environment Canterbury has provided further guidance on permitted cruise ship activity to mitigate the predicted lack of data for consent to anchor and that the disturbance of the seabed would only be up to a volume of 5m3. However, since giving notice of this requirement, the Covid-19 pandemic has created many uncertainties, with the ability to gather scientific data being limited during lockdown or when no ships are visiting. To mitigate the lack of available data, ECan has provided further guidance on permitted activity including the size of vessels, and the associated number of visits that may be made within any 12-month period, without breaching rules regarding seabed disturbance. This guidance has been issued to help provide clarity to the community, vessel operators and businesses during the current period of uncertainty. Said ECan’s regional harbourmaster Jim Dilley: “By issuing this guidance 16 months early, we are clearly communicating which vessels we believe comply with the rules well in advance of the deadline. If we are provided with scientific data to the contrary, we will review our guidance and make any necessary changes. What this guidance aims to do is provide certainty about which cruise ships may visit Akaroa Harbour from November 1, 2021 – without it, that was likely to be none due to the lack of available data.” The potential disturbance of the seabed by vessel anchors and a reduction in water quality at Akaroa has been an ongoing matter of public discussion and community concern. ECan has worked with rūnanga, community groups and the cruise industry to identify measures that will address these issues. In October 2019 an independently commissioned Ecological Risk Assessment on the impact of cruise ships operating in Akaroa Harbour was released. Mr Dilley said preliminary findings were that “any potential effects can be appropriately managed.” However, Mr Dilley also noted that “the available research is not sufficient to provide a definitive answer”, which is why he recommended the further research be conducted. In Brief RETAINING WALL A new retaining wall will be installed on the westbound lane of Brittain Tce to support a slope. City council contractors will carry out the work until late August. There will be some noise disturbance, the road will be reduced to one lane and some street-side parking will be unavailable around the site.

Closure time was used to complete maintenance, including essential work on the cableway towers and time tunnel carts. The gondola will be open between 10am and 4pm daily. RUGBY CLUB GRANT The Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board has approved a $4000 grant towards the Sumner Rugby Football Club for its beach rugby tournament and coaching programme. The first beach tournament was held last year with 10 schools and saw positive feedback from people involved, which is why the club now wants to make the event annual.
