Removal<br />

of Rawhiti<br />

Domain<br />

trees a<br />

‘double<br />

standard’<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

THE REMOVAL of seven trees in<br />

Rawhiti Domain has been labelled<br />

a “double standard” following<br />

a request for an urgent safety<br />

audit of trees on the South New<br />

Brighton estuary edge.<br />

The Rawhiti Domain trees will<br />

be removed because of safety<br />

concerns.<br />

But Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board member Tim Sintes<br />

says the tree issue in South New<br />

Brighton needs urgent attention<br />

too.<br />

He says more than 30 trees on<br />

the estuary edge are at risk of falling<br />

at any time. The community<br />

board requested an urgent safety<br />

audit at the beginning of last<br />

month.<br />

The city council has previously<br />

told <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> the South New<br />

Brighton trees were being monitored<br />

over the past six weeks. A<br />

fallen tree on the beach had been<br />

removed, along with eight pine<br />

trees near the boundary fence of<br />

the camping ground.<br />

Pressure builds to add 50m pool<br />

• By Sophie Cornish<br />

FEARS THAT the new QE II<br />

Recreation and Sport Centre<br />

will not meet the demands of<br />

the community are increasing<br />

pressure to add a 50m pool to<br />

the facility.<br />

The concerns are that the<br />

current 25m pool will not<br />

cater for the<br />

large variety of<br />

users, including<br />

students from<br />

the Shirley<br />

Boys’ High and<br />

Avonside Girls’<br />

High campus at<br />

Linda<br />

Stewart<br />

QE II Park.<br />

“It is never<br />

going to be able<br />

to service the local community<br />

as well as two high schools, local<br />

primary schools and sporting<br />

groups . . . the former facilities<br />

were used by people all over<br />

Christchurch, not just the east,”<br />

said Christchurch Concerned<br />

Citizens Group members<br />

Jacqui Herron and Craig<br />

MacKay.<br />

Said a spokeswoman from the<br />

Keep QE II in the East group:<br />

“We are concerned not everyone<br />

in our community will get a fair<br />

opportunity to use it.”<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

UPGRADE: There is increasing pressure to add a 50m pool<br />

at the QE II Recreation and Sport Centre to meet the needs of<br />

the community.<br />

Board member Linda Stewart<br />

said there would “undoubtedly”<br />

be congestion in the new 25m<br />

pool.<br />

“I would almost bet a lot of<br />

money on it,” she said.<br />

However, city council<br />

manager operations recreation<br />

and sports unit, Nigel Cox,<br />

said the facility’s placement<br />

“provides space to the north<br />

and east of the new facility’s<br />

pool hall for an expansion. The<br />

provision of an expansion zone<br />

is common place in facility<br />

planning. However, there was no<br />

specific expansion in mind that<br />

informed this decision.”<br />

The $38.6 million pool facility<br />

is set to open for Queen’s<br />

Birthday weekend.<br />

Following a recent site visit,<br />

the community board was told<br />

by contractor, Apollo Projects,<br />

that adding a 50m pool would<br />

cost an estimated $15-20<br />

million.<br />

Coastal-Burwood Ward city<br />

councillor David East said<br />

increasing the pool size to 50m,<br />

which is the Olympic standard,<br />

as well as adding seating and a<br />

dive well could cost almost $50<br />

million.<br />

The facility’s plans were<br />

designed with a “room to grow”<br />

concept, said Ms Stewart.<br />

Pressure is mounting around<br />

the idea, as the city council’s<br />

draft Long Term Plan will be<br />

finalised in June.<br />

Ms Stewart said if the pool is<br />

not included in the plan, there<br />

will not be the option to include<br />

it until 2028.<br />

However, Mr Cox said:<br />

“The city council provides<br />

an opportunity to update<br />

the existing LTP through the<br />

Annual Plan process that<br />

operates yearly,” he said.<br />

A 50m competition-sized<br />

pool is planned for the $300<br />

million central city Metro<br />

Sports Facility, which Greater<br />

Christchurch Regeneration<br />

Minister Megan Woods<br />

brought to a standstill last year<br />

following a $75 million budget<br />

blowout.<br />

SCHOOL AND HALL FUTURE<br />

The city council and Coastal-<br />

Burwood Community Board<br />

have successfully requested the<br />

Ministry of Education delay its<br />

decision on the future of the<br />

Central New Brighton School site<br />

and Roy Stokes Hall until the end<br />

of July. City council staff are now<br />

working with the New Brighton<br />

Community Hall Trust to form a<br />

business plan on the feasibility of<br />

owning and managing parts of the<br />

school site.<br />

PLAYGROUND TO CLOSE<br />

The new seaside playground in<br />

New Brighton will be closed for<br />

about a month from either May<br />

or June. It will allow Development<br />

Christchurch to make additional<br />

improvements to the playground<br />

and install artwork.<br />

WALK AROUND QE II PARK<br />

The Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board wants the community to<br />

have a say on the development<br />

of the QE II Park master plan.<br />

The board is offering a guided<br />

walk around the park on <strong>March</strong><br />

25. There will be an update on<br />

the new recreation and sports<br />

centre, the school campus and<br />

Schools<br />

shouted trip<br />

to the zoo<br />

NINE EAST Christchurch<br />

schools will be given the<br />

opportunity to participate in<br />

education programmes at Orana<br />

Wildlife Park.<br />

As part of The Warehouse<br />

Zoofari, more than $<strong>13</strong>0,000 has<br />

been raised to enable 5000 pupils<br />

from 41 decile 1-3 schools to go<br />

on the ‘zoofari’.<br />

Said Orana Wildlife Park education<br />

manager Toby Johnson:<br />

“Zoos in each region are collaborating<br />

to host the school students<br />

and give them the learning<br />

opportunity that many would<br />

otherwise miss out on without<br />

The Warehouse.”<br />

The Warehouse general manager<br />

community relations Shari<br />

French said visiting the zoo is a<br />

quintessential part of childhood<br />

for many children, but for some<br />

families it is sometimes not possible.<br />

The eastern school taking<br />

part in ‘zoofari’ include Rawhiti<br />

School, Shirley Primary School,<br />

St James School, Haeata Community<br />

Campus, Linwood<br />

North School, Christchurch East<br />

Church restores former club<br />

THE FORMER St Albans<br />

Shirley Club has been extensively<br />

renovated to become a new<br />

church and community centre.<br />

The building was opened on<br />

Saturday at a launch event, with<br />

a free lunch and entertainment,<br />

including children’s games, a<br />

bouncy castle and a performance<br />

from the New Brighton Brass<br />

Band.<br />

The building on Hills Rd will<br />

now be home to the Eastside<br />

C3 Church and a variety of<br />

community groups, including<br />

the St Albans Shirley Club,<br />

Fevah Modern Jive, Silhouette<br />

Studios NZ, Toddlerock Shirley/<br />

St Albans, and Moveable Feasts.<br />

The C3 Church Christchurch<br />

purchased the 1.6ha property<br />

and the building off the St<br />

Albans Shirley Club in 2016.<br />

The church’s senior pastor<br />

Paul Julian said the church<br />

aims to contribute to the local<br />

community.<br />

AFTER SIX months of<br />

preparation, the Zonta Club of<br />

Christchurch South is set to hold<br />

its annual summer garage sale<br />

on Saturday.<br />

Children’s toys, preserves,<br />

furniture, ornaments, linen,<br />

“This new building is one of<br />

the ways we are doing that. There<br />

are some amazing community<br />

groups who use the space<br />

during the week, as well as our<br />

crockery, paintings, and books<br />

were among the items on offer.<br />

The money raised will be<br />

distributed to the club’s chosen<br />

charities. Recently it donated<br />

money for furnishings at the<br />

new City Mission women’s night<br />

regular church services. We’ve<br />

been pretty overwhelmed with<br />

the amount of bookings so we’re<br />

definitely filling a need. It’s<br />

a pretty versatile space so we<br />

shelter “We have a number of<br />

very worthwhile charities which<br />

we support and it is incredibly<br />

satisfying to be able to make<br />

substantial donations to these<br />

groups,” said club president<br />

Margaret Currie.<br />

Tree removal a ‘double standard’<br />

•From page 1<br />

However, Mr Sintes said the<br />

real problem is the trees on the<br />

estuary edge.<br />

“It is a total inconsistency, as<br />

there has been no motion from<br />

city council to remove trees on<br />

the estuary edge, which pose<br />

equally as much of a safety risk,”<br />

he said.<br />

“The walking track in South<br />

New Brighton would get a lot<br />

more people than the Rawhiti<br />

Domain one would . . . if you use<br />

the same criteria that they have<br />

used in the Rawhiti Domain on<br />

the estuary edge, well<br />

there shouldn’t be any trees left<br />

there.”<br />

Mr Sintes said the work<br />

“reeks of a double standard”<br />

and believes it may be due to an<br />

agenda the city council has with<br />

the estuary edge.<br />

The city council wants to<br />

let the estuary edge erode<br />

naturally following damage to<br />

the erosion protection from the<br />

earthquakes. The community<br />

board wants to protect it in<br />

order to preserve as much of the<br />

domain as possible.<br />

“This (trees becoming<br />

damaged) is never going to stop<br />

on the estuary edge until they<br />

protect it,” Mr Sintes said.<br />

City council acting head<br />

of parks Kay Holder said on<br />

RISK: Tim Sintes wants the dangerous trees removed from the South New Brighton estuary<br />

edge.<br />

Thursday the estuary edge is<br />

monitored on a regular basis as<br />

the area is treated as a priority<br />

from a health and safety<br />

perspective.<br />

“As a result of this monitoring,<br />

we became aware of the fallen<br />

tree and tree stumps and had<br />

these removed as a priority.<br />

During those works a stand of<br />

dead pine and macrocarpa trees<br />

were identified as hazardous and<br />

have also been removed.<br />

“We will continue to monitor<br />

the area on a regular basis to<br />

ensure that any health and<br />

safety issues are dealt with<br />

appropriately,” she said.<br />

In Brief<br />

HOT POOL DESIGNS<br />

The latest revision of the design<br />

plans for the hot pools in New<br />

Brighton will be presented to the<br />

Coastal-Burwood Community<br />

Board on Monday. Development<br />

Christchurch will hold its fourth<br />

workshop with a community<br />

focus group on <strong>March</strong> 21, where<br />

it will present the design plans<br />

that will form part of the resource<br />

consent application. The plans<br />

will then be released to the wider<br />

community. A Development<br />

Christchurch spokesman said the<br />

designs will continue to evolve<br />

throughout the process.<br />

QUEENSPARK DRIVE SPEED<br />

The Coastal-Burwood<br />

Community Board has approved<br />

lowering the speed limit around<br />

Queenspark School. The new<br />

speed zone will be on Queenspark<br />

Drive and the limit will be<br />

changed from 50km/h to 40km/h.<br />

Electronic signs will be placed at<br />

the start of the school speed zone.<br />

NOT A FREEDOM CAMPER<br />

A photo on page 5 of <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

last week said it was a freedom<br />

camper’s campsite. This was<br />

incorrect. It was a site belonging<br />

to a homeless person. The caption<br />

also said it was taken in South<br />

New Brighton. The location was<br />

in fact North Beach. <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong><br />

apologises for the errors.<br />

Growing the community<br />

New Brighton Community<br />

Garden secretary Hilary<br />

Wilson and garden<br />

manager Catherine O’Neil<br />

talk about the benefits<br />

of being involved in the<br />

project<br />

FOR MORE than 12 years a<br />

whole lot of people have put a<br />

whole lot of effort into making<br />

our community gardens the<br />

flourishing success that they<br />

now are. As well as growing<br />

vegetables, we pride ourselves on<br />

growing the community.<br />

What stands out? The diversity<br />

of vegetables and flowers, food<br />

for the body and food for the<br />

soul, and the diversity of volunteers,<br />

young and old, Kiwi and<br />

foreign, smiley and grumpy, all<br />

are warmly welcomed. The gardens<br />

are a place to meet new people,<br />

establish friendships, learn<br />

new skills, build confidence, and<br />

increase one’s sense of well-being<br />

and belonging. Knowledge is<br />

freely shared in many ways.<br />

What do we treasure? Our<br />

marvellous volunteers and staff,<br />

our supportive trust members,<br />

our very helpful funders and<br />

the on-going support from local<br />

businesses is very valuable. Our<br />

commitment to respecting and<br />

taking care of people and the<br />

environment is too.<br />

What do people say when<br />

they come in the gate? They<br />

say “wow.” And then “this is<br />

so peaceful, and yet also a hive<br />

of activity.” Recently from<br />

two French tourists we heard<br />

“c’est magnifique.” And from a<br />

German-speaking Swiss tourist<br />

– “wunderbar.” Particularly after<br />

the Christchurch earthquakes,<br />

visitors and volunteers found solace<br />

and comfort in the gardens.<br />

Gardening anywhere provides<br />

GREEN<br />

THUMBS:<br />

Catherine O’Neil<br />

(left) and Hilary<br />

Wilson take<br />

pride in their<br />

community<br />

garden.<br />

both physical and mental health<br />

benefits.<br />

What do people get out of it?<br />

You will almost certainly get<br />

your hands dirty. And you will<br />

probably go home with some<br />

yummy fresh vegetables. But<br />

also, and perhaps more importantly,<br />

you get a sense of belonging<br />

to the community, of contributing<br />

to a meaningful productive<br />

project, of working at literally the<br />

grassroots level to help make the<br />

world a better place. We are happily<br />

about as far from corporate<br />

culture as it’s possible to get.<br />

Growing your own food sustainably<br />

is a global movement. If<br />

you want to find a community<br />

garden near you, go to the Canterbury<br />

Community Gardens<br />

Association website at<br />

www.ccga.org.nz<br />

Readers respond to the<br />

Christchurch School of<br />

Gymnastics receiving<br />

$900,000 from the city<br />

council for the rebuild of<br />

its new facility<br />

Margaret Nicholas –<br />

Why should a gym which is<br />

basically a club, and which<br />

has had large amounts of<br />

money from city council in<br />

the past, get so much more<br />

than other grassroots sports,<br />

or ones which keep more<br />

youth active?<br />

Bill Palmer – Good idea,<br />

problem is no one can get<br />

there unless they’ve got a<br />

four-wheel-drive because of<br />

the neglected roads in the<br />

east, again I say city council<br />

get your priorities in order<br />

first.<br />

Ryan Bailey – Surely<br />

when a sports club has<br />

received so much from city<br />

council already, shouldn’t the<br />

money go to other smaller<br />

struggling sports/community<br />

clubs. It would make a<br />

massive difference to help<br />

smaller sports clubs grow.<br />

Readers respond to<br />

the increasing number<br />

of freedom campers<br />

in North New Brighton,<br />

including one who<br />

cleaned her underwear<br />

in a drinking fountain<br />

Cathryn Lucy – They<br />

aren’t good for local<br />

businesses. They cost more<br />

than they’re worth, make the<br />

area less appealing for other<br />

visitors who actually spend<br />

money and can plan a trip<br />

properly, and their goal is to<br />

do everything as cheap as<br />

possible.<br />

Maybe the supermarket<br />

might get a tad more money.<br />

These ones certainly don’t<br />

seem to want to spend money<br />

at a cheap laundromat.<br />

Go to a camp site or<br />

be self-contained, which<br />

means taking your rubbish,<br />

belongings, (and your poo<br />

instead of leaving it next to<br />

schools) with you, and<br />

leaving where you stayed<br />

in the condition you found<br />

it.<br />

Christie<br />

named young<br />

sportsman<br />

of the year<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

FORMER SHIRLEY Boys’<br />

High first XV captain Tom<br />

Christie was named AECOM<br />

outstanding young sportsman<br />

of the year at the Nexia New<br />

Zealand Canterbury Sports<br />

Awards on Friday night.<br />

He was up against basketballer<br />

Quinn Clinton, golfer Tom<br />

Parker and rower<br />

Ben Taylor.<br />

Christie, who<br />

plays flanker, made<br />

his debut for Canterbury<br />

last year<br />

Tom<br />

Christie<br />

and was part of the<br />

World Cup winning<br />

under-20 New Zealand<br />

squad.<br />

In 2015, he famously captained<br />

Shirley to the UC Championship<br />

final against St Bede’s, which<br />

they lost.<br />

The awards honour sporting<br />

excellence as well as the invaluable<br />

contribution of dedicated<br />

coaches, administrators, officials<br />

and volunteers.<br />

“As a region, Canterbury has<br />

access to world-class coaching<br />

and an exceptional sports club<br />

system,” Sport Canterbury chief<br />

executive Julyan Falloon said.<br />

The awards were held at the<br />

Air Force Museum of New<br />

Zealand.<br />

More than <strong>13</strong>0 nominations<br />

were received for the awards<br />

across 30 sporting codes.<br />

Schools count down to Maadi Cup<br />

Six days out from the biggest school rowing event of<br />

the year, Andrew King looks at how some of the crews<br />

might fare at Maadi Cup which starts on Monday at Lake<br />

Ruataniwha, Twizel<br />

Shirley Boys’ High had a tough<br />

start to the rowing season after<br />

a 30m poplar tree fell into the<br />

Avon River just as the under-15<br />

crew of Reuben Bannon, Finley<br />

Ocheduszko Brown, Cameron<br />

Maughan, Liam Whitaker and<br />

David Brown rowed underneath<br />

it in January.<br />

At the South Island secondary<br />

school rowing champs earlier<br />

this month, Maughan along<br />

with Lucas MacDonald (stroke),<br />

Brodie Barsby, Jack Hearn,<br />

Cameron McConchie, Brayden<br />

Keep, Elliot Stanley, Matthew<br />

Sudlow and Joel Coleman (cox)<br />

won gold in the under-15 eights.<br />

The school also had success in<br />

the under-16 single sculls with<br />

Scott Shackleton winning gold.<br />

Now they turn their attention<br />

to the Maadi Cup which starts<br />

on Monday and runs through<br />

the week at Lake Ruataniwha,<br />

Twizel.<br />

Head of rowing Rob Wilson-<br />

Pyne said it is all about building<br />

a diverse squad with a variety of<br />

different rowers.<br />

“Everyone is working very<br />

hard in training and we have just<br />

completed our seat racing to get<br />

placing for boats,” he said.<br />

“We have got good depth<br />

in the squad and some strong<br />

rowers who should do well.”<br />

He would not identify any<br />

individuals to look out for,<br />

saying every rower goes out there<br />

with a team mindset.<br />

“There are no individuals, it<br />

is all about the squad. We have<br />

the philosophy that any boat<br />

that makes a final is representing<br />

every kid involved,” he said.<br />

The school is in a building<br />

phase and is looking to have<br />

a strong under-18 eights<br />

competing at the Maadi Cup in<br />

the near future.<br />

“We are looking at 2019-2020<br />

to target that under-18 eights<br />

race,” he said.<br />

They are also keeping an eye<br />

on the competition up north.<br />

“We always have a look at the<br />

cousins up north; don’t know<br />

what they feed them up there,<br />

but they always set fast times.<br />

And that is what it is all about,<br />

the best in the country coming<br />

together and seeing where we<br />

stand. It’s an opportunity and a<br />

challenge for us,” he said.<br />

New Brighton players help revamp clubrooms<br />

• By Andrew King<br />

NEW BRIGHTON Rugby club<br />

players will start the season off<br />

with newly renovated clubrooms.<br />

Members of the club and the<br />

community have been busy<br />

fixing up the clubrooms on<br />

Rawhiti Ave.<br />

Division one captain Reuben<br />

Spicer, who is studying sports<br />

leadership at Canterbury<br />

University, had to write a paper<br />

for his course on sponsorship<br />

and decided fixing up the old<br />

clubrooms would be a great way<br />

to put theory into practice.<br />

The idea had been floated<br />

around the club for a while as the<br />

clubrooms were starting to look a<br />

bit run down.<br />

But from Spicer’s paper the idea<br />

snowballed and work started in<br />

August last year.<br />

Rugby development officer<br />

Roddy Butt said Spicer, who<br />

plays halfback, thought it would<br />

also be a good way for the squad<br />

to bond ahead of the upcoming<br />

competition.<br />

Lock Ben Nelson, a builder<br />

by trade, said there had been so<br />

much support from the local<br />

community.<br />

Not only have they managed to<br />

renovate the division one shed,<br />

but the majority of the club’s<br />

buildings have also been done<br />

PRIDE: Progress is being made on fixing up the New Brighton rugby clubrooms, which are set to be ready for the upcoming<br />

season.<br />

up, including the referee’s and<br />

physio’s rooms.<br />

Builder Matthew Burleigh,<br />

brother of Scotland international<br />

and former New Brighton<br />

midfielder Phil Burleigh, and<br />

plumber Henare Faithful have<br />

also put a lot of work into the<br />

buildings.<br />

Nelson has donated about 450<br />

hours himself, and Burleigh and<br />

Faithful are not far behind.<br />

“Most of the materials we have<br />

used have been donated. So we<br />

have been able to get between<br />

$15,000 to $20,000 worth of<br />

materials for about $200, which is<br />

amazing,” Nelson said.<br />

“It really shows how good<br />

the club is and how great the<br />

community is to get behind this.”<br />

Nelson, who was born and<br />

bred in Minnesota, United States,<br />

came to the club in 20<strong>13</strong> to “ply<br />

his trade in rugby”.<br />

Now he has residency and said<br />

he will play for the club for as<br />

long as he can.<br />

“We want to be one of the best<br />

recruiting clubs in the city and by<br />

doing up our sheds it sends the<br />

right message,” he said.

What began life as a 1950s bungalow was<br />

transformed in the 1970s when architecture<br />

in Christchurch was breaking from the<br />

constraints and traditions of the past to<br />

create what is now a truly unique home.<br />

What we have today is an avant-garde<br />

home nestled into the sunny slopes above<br />

Redcliffs. Not only does it bask in sunshine<br />

it enjoys uninterrupted views across the<br />

estuary and up the coastline. The magic of<br />

the setting reflects the magic to be found<br />

indoors. On 3 levels it provides space for<br />

everyone and everything. The main central<br />

floor comprises the entry from the carport<br />

at the front door, open plan kitchen dining<br />

and living, a study/play area, 2 double<br />

bed-rooms which open to a spacious deck<br />

area and a state of the art bathroom. Stairs<br />

descend to a rumpus room/studio which<br />

opens to a paved patio area giving access to<br />

a landscaped contemporary hillside garden.<br />

The upper level provides the main suite<br />

comprising bedroom, en suite and dressing<br />

room and expansive open living space with<br />

floor to ceiling windows. This home exudes<br />

contemporary style with an industrial<br />

minimalist theme.<br />

Open homes Sundays 1.45pm-2.30pm<br />

and Thursdays 7.30pm-8pm.<br />
