Pool 

• By Julia Evans 

COMMUNITY consultation is 

about to start on the $21 million 

Linwood Woolston Pool. 

At its meeting yesterday, the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board tabled a 

document which will go out to the 

community in the next four to six 

weeks to gather feedback on the 

pool’s location and features of the 

facility. 

In a report, city council staff 

said the consultation would “support 

a fully informed decision on 

the selection of a site and gather 

additional feedback on community 

requirements/expectations of 

the facility.” 

Feedback will then be taken 

into consideration during the 

development of the pool’s concept 

plan, which is expected to be 

started in July.

FINALLY, WE have some action on the 

long-running saga of a pool in Linwood/ 

Woolston. 

Community consultation is about to 

begin on the $21 million project. In the 

next four to six weeks the public will be able to have their say on 

where it should be and what features they would like. 

This step has been a very long time coming but there is light, 

albeit still distant, at the end of the tunnel. 

The area needs a pool and somewhere along Linwood Ave is 

probably a good spot. 

On the facilities front, great news for Parklands and 

Queenspark – stage 1 of the Pukeko Centre has opened. 

Lots of hard work has gone in by the community.

Pier scaffolding recovered 

• By Julia Evans 

DIVERS HELPED recover the 

scaffolding which broke loose 

from the New Brighton Pier 

during Cyclone Gita. 

The high tide and large waves 

on Wednesday caused one of the 

scaffolding’s gantries to fall into 

the sea. 

Divers and a boat, along 

with an excavator, winches and 

cables, were used last week to 

recover the metal framework. 

City council contractors were 

forced to remove scaffolding 

boards and wind down 

operations on the pier during 

Cyclone Gita as a precaution. 

“There is likely to be debris 

near the beach that poses a 

potential hazard to surfers,” city 

council staff said. 

Contractors have been 

working since the start of 

the year to repair columns 

which sustained damage in 

the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

The $9.7 million pier repairs 

are set to be completed next 

month. 

REPAIRS TO CLOCK 

Scaffolding has been erected 

to mark the beginning of 

repairs to the New Brighton 

clock tower. Structural 

engineers will start to 

complete investigations about 

the damage sustained. Some 

damage has been caused from 

the earthquakes, however 

other is historical damage. 

City council has ensured that 

access ways including the 

ramp and some steps have 

remained clear to the café and

Parklands sports centre opens pavilion 

• By Sophie Cornish 

STAGE ONE of a multi-use 

sports and recreation facility in 

Parklands was officially opened 

on Saturday by Mayor Lianne 

Dalziel. 

The first stage of the Pukeko 

Centre consists of a clubrooms 

and pavilion, which is located 

on the grounds of the Parklands 

Bowling Club. 

The pavilion project cost more 

than $1 million and includes a 

bar, lounge area, separate office, 

meeting rooms and a commercial 

kitchen. 

There is also seating for up to 

200 people and a viewing deck 

looking out on to the bowling 

green. 

The centre is a joint venture 

between the bowling club and 

Parklands Rugby Football Club, 

which will also use the facility’s 

clubrooms. 

The bowling club’s facilities 

were damaged beyond repair 

in the February 22, 2011, earthquake 

and the rugby club has 

been without a clubrooms for 

three years. 

Two buildings, a school hall 

and a ‘modern learning studio’ 

were relocated to the site from 

the former Freeville School. 

Centre spokeswoman Jane 

Mahoney said it was “a stroke of 

genius” to approach the Ministry 

of Education to relocate the 

buildings, which were earmarked 

for demolition. 

The ministry then gifted the 

buildings to the two clubs. 

Mrs Mahoney said parents of 

former Freeville School pupils 

were “thrilled” the buildings 

were not demolished. A big 

fundraising effort from the community 

led to the development of

the school hall. 

The next stages of the project 

include turning the school hall 

into a multi-use sports hall, 

building an outdoor all-weather 

sports court, landscaping and car 

parking. 

Grants from the New Zealand 

Community Trust, Rata Foundation 

and Southern Trust are 

being used to fund the development. 

Local businesses and trades 

people have also offered their 

time and money. 

Mrs Mahoney said there had 

been “thousands” of volunteer 

hours put in already. 

The opening was attended by 

150 guests, including Christchurch 

East MP Poto Williams, 

community representatives, 

sponsors and members from the 

two sport clubs.

Feedback sought 

on $21m Linwood 

Woolston pool 

•From page 1 

The city council has allocated 

about $21.6 million in its Long 

Term Plan for the facility and 

outlined its preferred location as 

the nursery site at Linwood Park, 

near the corner of Linwood Ave 

and Smith St. 

“This location meets all 

our criteria, which makes it a 

standout option for the community. 

Currently this section of 

Linwood Park is an old nursery 

that is no longer used and has 

good quality land that is already 

owned by the city council,” the 

report said. 

Other benefits of the Linwood 

Park site include proximity to 

Eastgate Shopping Centre and 

the Linwood Library. There is 

also a major cycleway next to the 

site and room for the facility to 

grow. 

Further possible locations 

identified include Woolston 

Park, 180 Smith St, the Linwood 

Service Centre, an alternative 

location on Linwood Park and 

Bromley Park. 

Construction of the pool is not 

expected to start until the end of 

next year and be completed in 

2021. 

“Once this round of engagement 

has closed . . . a recommendation 

on where it should 

be built will be made to the 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board. At this stage, 

we expect that they will decide 

on a site mid-2018,” the consultation 

document said. 

There will be a second round of 

consultation regarding the facility’s 

concept design. 

“We expect this will kick off 

early in the second half of 2018.” 

The former Woolston Outdoor 

Pool, which was next to the old 

Woolston School, was removed 

in 2006. 

The community has been campaigning 

for a new one for years.

NATIVE FISH, including eels 

and whitebait, are being rescued 

from the Linwood Canal to 

ensure their survival while a new 

cycleway is built. 

Work on the second stage of 

the Rapanui-Shag Rock Cycleway 

along Linwood Ave between Linwood 

Park and Dyers Rd started 

in early January. 

A cofferdam – an enclosure 

built in the water to create 

a dry work environment for 

construction – is being built in 

the Linwood Canal to widen the 

shoulder of Linwood Ave. 

Water will be drained from 

the cofferdam leaving resident 

fish – likely including eels, 

inanga (whitebait) and common 

bullies – marooned if they’re not 

removed first. 

WPS Opus Ecologist Annabelle 

Coates, who is carrying 

out the rescue mission for the 

city council, is unsure how many 

fish she will find: “We’re not 

expecting huge numbers because 

traditionally the Linwood Canal 

hasn’t been that diverse, however, 

we could be surprised by the 

numbers and species as that has 

been known to happen at other 

locations.” 

She is hopeful there could be 

some endangered long-finned 

eels living in the canal. 

Ms Coates will use fyke nets 

to catch as many fish in the 

cofferdam as possible before collecting 

the rest using an electric 

fishing machine that attracts 

and then stuns the fish. She’ll 

remove them from the water in a 

net before releasing them in the 

main part of the canal. The process 

does not harm the fish and 

is deliberately being carried out 

outside of spawning season. 

The ecologist will also be on 

hand when water is drained from 

the cofferdam in case there are 

any fish left behind. “The council 

has an obligation to protect 

native fish and to maintain fish 

passage so this has to be done 

and it’s an easy thing to do to 

save them,” she says.

manager Adrian Thein said fish 

conservation is a condition of resource

part of minimising the impact

environment and ecology. 

“Native fish and their spawning 

habitats are legally protected 

so we have to take care not to

work around waterways. We’re 

always happy to do our bit to 

make sure the local flora and

fishing method to make way for

2 down, 4 to go! 

We’re working in three key central 

city intersections over six weekends, 

8pm Fri to 6am Mon, until 26 March. 

We’ve finished work in the Montreal/ 

Tuam intersection. There are four more 

weekends of work in two intersections 

to go. 

These intersections need replacing. 

We’re digging them out and rebuilding 

them to extend their lifespan. 

Road layers need ‘curing’, or drying time. 

If you don’t see us on site, don’t worry – 

we’ll be back again soon. 

The intersections will remain rougher 

than usual until April or May, when the 

final surface will be applied. 

Project delivered by: 

• Avoid unnecessary travel through the 

city. Go around using the four avenues. 

• When we’re working on Durham 

Street, use Barbadoes and Madras 

Streets to get in and out of the city. 

• Expect delays. Allow extra time and 

plan your travel using tfc.govt.nz. 

• Buses will run as usual. Expect 

short delays. 

• Bike or walk if you can. 

INTERSECTION 2 — Durham St 

2 — 5 March 

Durham Street between Lichfield Street and 

Tuam Street is closed. Tuam Street is one lane. 

Use Barbadoes and Madras Streets to get in and out of the city. 

INTERSECTION 3 — St Asaph St

23 — 26 March 

St Asaph Street between Montreal Street and 

Antigua Street is closed. Antigua Street is 

one lane. 

Note: All works are subject to weather. In the event of bad weather, works will be rescheduled.

Reporting issues made easier by phone app 

Dallington 

resident Patrick 

Boland writes 

about the city 

council’s Snap

phone app and 

whether it has 

been an effective tool in 

getting problems solved 

within the community 

ONE THING I love about our 

local community is how people 

aren’t afraid to call it how it is 

and to take some action to solve 

problems. 

In spite of not always feeling 

the love in terms of service, it’s in 

our nature to give things a go and 

get things done. 

One of the best tools I have 

found lately is the Snap Send 

Solve app. It allows you to take

and Solve app to report issues in his community to the city 

council and ECan. 

pictures with your phone and 

report problems (like pollution, 

etc) to both the city council and 

Environment Canterbury. 

You can log something and 

straight away it goes into these 

organisations’ tracking systems 

and usually the results are 

good. 

It can be used to report issues 

with graffiti, rubbish, parks, 

roads, waterways and so on. 

I love it because I have a phobia 

of using telephones and I can 

log problems and know they got 

to the right place and are being 

tracked. 

I have found it particularly 

useful with getting rid of graffiti 

and rubbish dumped in our 

corner of the red zone. 

Snap Send Solve was also 

effective in getting a faded 

pedestrian crossing painted so 

that motorists could see it and 

stop. 

This was done within a week of 

the request. 

Where hasn’t it been so 

effective for me? 

I reported a problem with 

traffic light phasing, where there 

are often 12 cars queued during 

peak hours and the lights were 

letting two to three cars out per 

phase. 

In spite of backing up my 

report with pictures and 

timings, I was told there was 

no problem and no changes 

would be made. 

It often depends on who 

receives your report. 

Also, once I reported a large 

amount of sediment dumped into 

a waterway and ECan only got 

the report two days later. 

So maybe sometimes you still 

do need to use that telephone. 

Readers respond to an 

article about trees in South 

New Brighton Domain 

which could fall at anytime, 

according to Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

deputy chairman Tim Sintes 

Maria Mann – Those trees 

have been unsafe for weeks. My 

dad, my son and myself walk in 

the domain. They should have 

been removed a while ago. 

Andrew Gold – Lock everyone 

inside, it’s too unsafe outside. 

Just leave it alone. 

Tess Lenihan – Not happening. 

Too much money has 

been spent already. They’ve 

increased rates for that church 

and are pondering fuel tax for 

road repairs. I’d hate to see where 

they get money from for general 

maintenance. 

Peter Cooper – That’s just 

the top roots . . . how far down do 

they actually go? 

Andrew McDrury – Yes, 

well that one is clearly toast. 

It’s hard to imagine why you 

wouldn’t assess the rest. 

HANGING ON: Tim Sintes (inset) says damaged trees in the 

South New Brighton Domain are a health and safety concern. 

Jo Garrick – Simple answer, 

yes. The question should not have 

even been asked, safety first. 

Mark McLaren – They will 

have to put the rates up to be able 

to get to this. 

John Le Riche – Sadly, yes, 

they should go, it’s an accident 

waiting too happen. 

Vanessa Penney – It’s not 

rocket science, if they are dangerous 

they go. 

Keep QE II in the East 

spokeswoman Jo Zervos 

responds to Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

member Linda Stewart’s 

soapbox about the need 

for a 50m pool at the new 

recreation and sport centre 

The Keep QE II in the East 

group are supportive of Linda 

Stewart’s proposal for extra pool 

space at the new QE II facility. 

There is so much excitement in 

our community for the impending 

opening of the new facility in 

June. However, we are concerned 

not everyone in our community 

will get a fair opportunity to 

use it. There are so many clubs, 

groups and individuals wanting 

to use the new facility, along with 

the thousands of school children 

from the area. 

Lane swimmers, aqua-joggers, 

swim clubs, water polo players 

and leisure swimmers will have 

to fit in around city council-run 

programmes and classes. 

We have always opposed the 

QE II replacement complex being 

built in the city. QE II has always 

been the perfect site, with links 

to other recreational sites (river, 

beaches, forest, red zone, wetlands) 

and it is the perfect area to 

host triathlons, which would use 

a 50m pool. 

The original QE II facility was 

built with a huge amount of local 

community input. The insurance 

money from QE II should have 

been fully reinvested in a replacement 

facility in the east. 

Christchurch is in dire need 

of a 50m competition pool, and 

with the proposed metro centre 

in doubt, surely an alternative site 

should be considered. 

By the time Christchurch gets 

a replacement competition pool, 

a full decade of swimmers have 

missed out. 

We propose that one of the 

quickest and economical options 

for the city is to add on to the 

new QE II facility.

MORE THAN 350 young 

athletes swam and ran for medals 

in the southern region junior 

Reader Shirley Forbes 

responds to Linda 

Stewart’s soapbox about 

the need for a 50m pool at 

the new QE II facility 

As co-ordinator of the QE II 

early birds and over 50s club 

with Willie Pitama and Nellie 

Evans, our group sincerely 

wishes to support 

Linda Stewart to 

get a 50m pool 

added to the city 

council’s 10-year 

plan. 

Our group has 

been operating 

social events 

for more than 

30 years and 

still meets at 

least once a 

month since 

the earthquakes 

to keep our 

members in touch. 

They are spread all over the 

city and country now. 

So many competitive 

swimmers, water polo players, 

surf lifesavers, in fact all water 

sports have suffered so much 

and need reassurance that a 

replacement 50m pool is in the 

Linda Stewart 

surf lifesaving championships on 

February 17 and 18. 

Athletes from eight clubs across 

Otago and Canterbury competed 

in the annual event which was 

pipeline to keep their aspirations 

alive and heading towards their 

goals. 

My son Grant broke the 

Christchurch secondary schools 

record when he qualified for 

the Commonwealth Games in 

Brisbane in 1982. 

Isn’t it ridiculous that no one 

gets the chance to break that 

record for more 

than 36 years, 

simply because we 

have no competition 

pool for our young 

athletes to swim in? 

The athletic 

track also has 

taken so long that 

a lot of families 

have to go to the 

added expense of 

relocating their 

athletes or families. 

We all hope 

the Christchurch 

community will get behind this 

recommendation as it is vital for 

our different sports to continue 

at a high level in Canterbury. 

Now would be the best time 

to build before building prices 

escalate higher and higher. 

Luckily, we have plenty of 

land at QE II for this important 

project. 

held at New Brighton beach. 

The events included sprints, 

beach flags, board races, board 

rescues, relays and swimming 

races. 

The athletes ranged in ages 

from seven to 14. 

North Beach Surf Life 

Saving Club secretary Emma 

Derrick said the day was a 

success for the North Beach 

athletes, especially considering 

many of them are new to the 

sport this season. 

“It was a really enjoyable day, a 

lot of the children got to gain 

new experience and 

competition.” 

Mrs Derrick said a large 

amount of the club’s athletes 

made the finals and took home 

medals.

New lease of life for 

Avebury House 


AVEBURY HOUSE Community 

Trust will receive $11,500 to go 

towards its three-year plan to 

re-establish the role the historic 

building plays in the community. 

The Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board approved 

the grant last week which will 

come out of its strengthening 

communities fund. 

Located in Richmond, the 

trust’s aim is to renew itself as a 

community development organisation 

and social enterprise. 

The house is now part of the 

residential red zone. The trust offers 

free or low cost activities for 

people to socialise at the house. 

The funding will cover wages 

for a new employee, an upgrade 

to the kitchen, an ICT upgrade 

and other expenses. 

The new employee will have 

a community development role 

and will be tasked with finding 

out what local people need. 

The trust will also carry out 

surveys using social media and 

phone campaigns in an attempt 

to get a further understanding 

of how it can benefit the community. 

By establishing itself as a social 

enterprise, the house can be used 

as a venue for weddings, meetings 

and small conferences. 

Upgrading the kitchen will also 

allow it to be hired out for activities 

such as cooking classes. 

COMMUNITY HUB: Richmond

House, where the community 

trust operates from. 

Whitebait initiative gets pupils to take care of waterways 

A MINISTRY of Business 

Innovation and Employment 

grant will allow pupils from 

South New Brighton, Waitākiri 

and Rawhiti schools to learn 

about the life cycle of whitebait 

(inanga) in red zone waterways. 

Investigate: Īnanga is a new 

educational initiative designed to 

meet New Zealand curriculum

standards. It will be delivered in 

collaboration with teachers and 

scientists in class and in the field. 

Haeata Community Campus 

students will also take part in the 

initiative. 

Said Anzac Drive Reservebased 

Mahinga Kai Exemplar 

project manager Kathryn Bates: 

“Recent post-quake studies have 

found parts of the edge of Kate 

Sheppard Lake are very productive 

inanga spawning areas, 

which provides an opportunity 

for young pupils to learn about 

a significant aspect of the world 

around them. 

“Not only do they get to 

understand the life cycle of an 

important native species, they 

also learn about the kind of 

habitat that they live in and why 

it is important we look after our 

rivers and wetlands,” she said. 

The initiative is a collaboration 

between Avon-Otakaro Network, 

Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, 

EOS Ecology Ltd and Whitebait 

Connection. 

Regenerate Christchurch chief 

executive Ivan Iafeta is supportive. 

“This programme aligns 

closely with the vision for the 

Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor as 

‘a place of learning and discovery 

where traditional knowledge, 

science and technology meet 

and the objective’s to create a 

restored habitat and establish a 

world-leading, living laboratory.”

Children reflect on quake with river of flowers 

A ‘RIVER of flowers’ was 

created by Queenspark School 

pupils and families to mark 

the seventh anniversary of the 

Canterbury earthquakes. 

Pupils wrote reflective 

messages along with laying of 

flowers. 

“It is an opportunity to come 

together as a school community 

and reflect how far we have 

come since the earthquakes,” 

said Queenspark School spokeswoman 

Rebecca Taylor. 

“It creates a place to remember 

the 185 people who lost their 

lives and also thinking about the 

first responders, the emergency 

services and the people of Canterbury 

who helped others in 

need,” she said.

REAL ESTATE 

6 car garaging… will be a car enthusiasts dream! 

9 Elmwood Drive, Prebbleton 

Auction: Wednesday, 21st March 2018, 2pm 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 2 lounges | 2 Dining rooms | 6 Garages | Land area 1204m2 | Listing ID: HR4834 

Situated amongst some of Prebbleton’s 

finest properties, 9 Elmwood Drive, has 

come to the market for the very first 

time. This sprawling home is as unique 

as it is special with 4 double bedrooms, 2 

bathrooms, media room, office, formal 

dining, formal living and massive garaging 

on a 1204m2 section. Whilst decorative and 

opulent in its design, the owners wanted 

to create an authentic home where their 

family could simply relax, enjoy and soak 

in the peace and tranquillity of the land 

and location. If you have ever considered 

a property with large garaging you’ll know 

that very rarely does such an opportunity 

like this present itself. Whether you 

are a motor enthusiast, a tradesman, 

hobbyist, work from home, or just have 

the requirement for expansive garaging, 

this address is a must to inspect! Once this 

property has been sold, there are no others 

to replace it. With instructions to sell on or 

before auction day, what are you prepared 

to pay? 

Auction date: Wednesday 21st March, 

2pm at Russley Golf Club, 428 Memorial 

Avenue.
