PLANS TO develop an allweather<br />
sporting facility in<br />
Northcote would see six sporting<br />
codes provided with up to 21<br />
indoor courts.<br />
A warehouse near the corner<br />
of Main North and Northcote Rds,<br />
currently tenanted by Toll Group,<br />
could be reconfigured and ready<br />
for use in two to three years.<br />
Developers Kris Inglis and<br />
Mike, Max and Glenn Percasky<br />
outlined their plans to the<br />
Papanui-Innes Community Board<br />
recently.<br />
Known as the Northcote Sports<br />
and Entertainment Terminus,<br />
it was granted resource consent<br />
in August 2015 and will have 12<br />
indoor courts for netball, futsal,<br />
basketball, tennis, badminton and<br />
volleyball.<br />
A gymnasium, cafe, child care<br />
centre, 450 car parks and other<br />
sports entertainment options such<br />
as 10-pin bowling, Laser Strike<br />
and Clip ’n Climb will also be<br />
included.<br />
<strong>The</strong> other sports entertainment<br />
options could be removed to<br />
expand the facility to 21 indoor<br />
courts.<br />

RUSSLEY RESIDENTS have<br />
“run out of patience” over<br />
vehicles blocking their streets<br />
near the Airport Business Park.<br />
Avonhead Community Group<br />
chairman Professor Somnath<br />
Sarkar Bagchi says there are still<br />
ongoing issues with business<br />
park staff parking their vehicles<br />
on residential streets.<br />
He said<br />
residents and<br />
their visitors<br />
struggle to<br />
find parking<br />
on their own<br />
streets and<br />
the problem<br />
isn’t being addressed.<br />
Prof Bagchi<br />
said it’s a “prolonged” and “difficult”<br />
issue which the group has<br />
been dealing with for about five<br />
years.<br />
He said the city council and<br />
the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood<br />
Community Board have<br />
been trying to resolve the issue<br />
but so far nothing has worked.<br />
“People have lost faith in the<br />
city council and its ability to<br />
resolve this issue,” Prof Bagchi<br />
said.<br />
A city council spokeswoman<br />
said more than 1000 time-related<br />
infringement notices have been<br />
issued in the area since July 11.<br />
Infringement fees range from<br />
$12 or less to $57 depending on<br />
how long the vehicle has been<br />
parked.<br />
Letters released to Western<br />
News under the Local Government<br />
Official Information and<br />
Meetings Act show city council<br />
<strong>May</strong>or Lianne Dalziel sent a letter<br />
regarding the concerns to the<br />
Inland Revenue in January.<br />
<strong>The</strong> IRD is one of the companies<br />
based at the business park.<br />
“Could you please advise<br />
what measures you are putting<br />
in place to ensure your staff are<br />
not contributing to this serious<br />
problem,” Ms Dalziel said.<br />
She said there “was suggestion”<br />
that IRD had been paying for<br />
employees’ parking fines.<br />

MORE DETAILS are expected<br />
to be revealed tomorrow about<br />
the horrific alleged murder of a<br />
woman in her Merivale home.<br />
A 54-year-old labourer from<br />
Aranui will appear in the High<br />
Court, accused of the killing.<br />
<strong>The</strong> body of a woman, aged 27,<br />
was found in the Exeter St house<br />
shortly before noon on Saturday,<br />
April 7, by a member of the public.<br />
<strong>The</strong> accused was later arrested<br />
and charged with murder and aggravated<br />
robbery.<br />
<strong>The</strong> names of the accused and<br />
victim, and details about the police<br />
investigation were suppressed<br />
when he appeared at his first<br />
court appearance on April 9.<br />
He did not enter a plea and was<br />
remanded in custody.<br />
But details relating to the alleged<br />
murder have sparked much<br />
conjecture in Christchurch, some<br />
details which are likely to come<br />
clearer tomorrow.<br />

A TINY piece of the city’s<br />
railway history has come back<br />
to life.<br />
Railway Tce in Heathcote<br />
Valley has been newly-repaired<br />
following damage in the<br />
September 4, 2010, and February<br />
22, 2011, earthquakes.<br />
<strong>The</strong> little street was formed<br />
by New Zealand Rail in 1961<br />
to build six workers’ houses<br />
between Port Hills Rd and the<br />
motorway.<br />
NZR later sold them into<br />
private ownership and each<br />
resident owns a sixth of the<br />
road.<br />
It means there’s no city council<br />
responsibility for maintenance<br />
such as road sweepers, weed<br />
spraying or drain clearance.<br />
And the costs of fixing the<br />
quake damage fell on the homeowners’<br />
private insurance.<br />
Plumber Peter Bigelow has<br />
lived on Railway Tce for years.<br />
He said it had taken quite a<br />
bit of co-ordination to fix the<br />
road as it came under private<br />
insurance rather than EQC.<br />
“Half of us were with AA<br />
(Vero) and they took the lead,<br />
managed it and went to the other<br />
insurers.”<br />
Fibre was laid first, then<br />
potholes repaired and new kerbs<br />
and footpaths are now going in.<br />
<strong>The</strong> work has taken about a<br />
month.<br />
Mr Bigelow said Port Hills MP<br />
Ruth Dyson has been helpful<br />
in advocating on behalf of the<br />
Railway Tce homeowners.<br />
Ngai Tuari shifted into a<br />
three-bedroom property with<br />
her engine driver husband<br />
about 35 years ago and raised<br />
her four children there, all of<br />
them attending Heathcote Valley<br />
Primary School.<br />
“It’s a lovely street, I wouldn’t<br />
move for quids. In fact, I sold my<br />
other house, the original one, to<br />
my son, so he’s my neighbour.<br />
And he wouldn’t move for quids<br />
as well.”<br />
However, the private road is<br />
“an awful pain,” Mrs Tuari said.<br />
“It’s a private road, but that<br />
doesn’t work because any of the<br />
public are allowed to use it.<br />
<strong>The</strong> only time it becomes a<br />
private road is when we have<br />
to pay for it. I’d love to put a gate<br />
up there and you pay a<br />
gold coin to go through it.<br />
<strong>The</strong>n the upkeep wouldn’t be a<br />
problem.”<br />
“But it is a nice community<br />
feel; it’s almost like the country;<br />
you can hear cows, see the horse<br />
paddocks and the watercress<br />
growing everywhere. Just the feel<br />
of the place, it’s lovely.”<br />
PIECE OF HISTORY: Ngai Tuari is one of six homeowners living on Railway Tce, Heathcote, whose private insurance has funded the<br />
repair of the earthquake-damaged road.<br />

BANKS PENINSULA has been<br />
compared to a high-maintenance<br />
wife from Merivale.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y look really good, but<br />
very expensive.”<br />
<strong>The</strong> remark came on<br />
Monday during hearings on<br />
the city council’s Long Term<br />
Plan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Banks Peninsula<br />
Community<br />
Board made<br />
a number of<br />
requests for<br />
extra funding<br />
or for funding<br />
to be brought<br />
forward.<br />
It prompted<br />
Harewood<br />
Ward city<br />
councillor Aaron Keown to say:<br />
“I loved your photos at the start.<br />
It’s certainly competing for the<br />
eastern suburbs for the best<br />
photos of the city. <strong>The</strong> analogy<br />
around the garden v the living<br />
room – I think it’s better as a<br />
family analogy and I look at<br />
Banks Peninsula as more like a<br />
Merivale wife – they look really<br />
good but very expensive.”<br />

for people to submit feedback to<br />
the schools and the Ministry of<br />
Education.<br />
<strong>The</strong> two schools will relocate<br />
to the new shared campus at QE<br />
II Park next year and have been<br />
required to develop a new zone<br />
by the secretary of education.<br />
<strong>The</strong> board of trustees from<br />
both schools opened a consultation<br />
document online at the<br />
end of March, which closed on<br />
Thursday.<br />
<strong>The</strong> document included a ‘draft<br />
zone’ which featured suburbs<br />
Burwood, Parklands, New<br />
Brighton, South Brighton and<br />
Southshore, which is supported<br />
by the MoE.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Marshland area was featured<br />
on the document as a ‘grey<br />
zone’, meaning it was an area the<br />
schools wish to have included in<br />
the zone.<br />

New Brightons RSA’s<br />
executive manager Garry<br />
House said this year’s<br />
Anzac Day service was<br />
“one of the best yet.”<br />
“<strong>The</strong> RSA has great<br />
support from the<br />
community . . . we had<br />
support from the Girl<br />
Guides, the Boy Scouts,<br />
the army, navy and air<br />
force cadets, and so many<br />
other groups. <strong>The</strong> New<br />
Brighton fire brigade and<br />
police also laid wreaths,’’<br />
he said.<br />
“<strong>The</strong>y all support us<br />
tremendously. We’re so<br />
proud of the community,”<br />
Mr House said.<br />

BRUISED BODIES, half-time<br />
shots of port, taking on an<br />
Australian great and plenty of<br />
laughs was the recipe for the<br />
Lincoln Lizards at the Golden<br />
Oldies World Rugby Festival last<br />
week.<br />
THe team which formed<br />
29 years ago had been eyeing<br />
up the tournament since the<br />
Christchurch event was first<br />
confirmed. As well as taking on<br />
a team from Alaska the Lizards<br />
got the chance to play against<br />
former Wallabies first-five<br />
Stephen Larkham.<br />
“THe biggest surprise to me<br />
was how tall he was for a firstfive.<br />
He’s got the legs to run<br />
around us but the game was<br />
played very low key,” said team<br />
manager Mark Tweedy.<br />
THe team of 28 was made up<br />
of players who have previously<br />
played with the Lincoln Rugby<br />
Club, people new to Lincoln and<br />
by word of mouth at the pub.<br />
THe Lizards have a player base of<br />
around 50 and play in six games<br />
a year against other Canterbury<br />
over 35-years-old team.<br />
THe team for the festival<br />
included one original Lizard.<br />
Ron Fabian – who is now in his<br />
early 70s – turned out for the<br />
team in their first ever match in<br />
1989.<br />

Darfield<br />
may lose<br />
Crusaders<br />
match<br />
• By Jacob Page<br />
THE CHANCES of Darfield<br />
hosting the Crusaders and<br />
Highlanders pre-season game next<br />
year appears unlikely.<br />
THe Darfield Rugby Club hosted<br />
the summer fixture in 2017 and<br />
wants to do so again.<br />
But the Canterbury Rugby Football<br />
Union’s insistence a spectator<br />
mound be constructed has proven<br />
an issue.<br />
Darfield president Scott McIlroy<br />
said constructing a mound on the<br />
ground is not viable due to summer<br />
sport use.<br />
“THe ground itself is not viable to<br />
host the game and I have looked at<br />
other options including farmland<br />
where a mound already exists but<br />
that too will be expensive,” he said.<br />
More than 5500 people turned<br />
up to watch the 2017 match, including<br />
then-Prime Minister Bill<br />
English.<br />
Minutes from the Malvern<br />
Community Board meeting last<br />
week showed Selwyn <strong>May</strong>or Sam<br />
Broughton was told the CRFU<br />
“would not consider viewing from<br />
a flat-level surface acceptable.”<br />
Mr McIlroy says he had previously<br />
looked into building a 4000<br />
seat temporary stand but at a cost<br />
of more than $100,000, it was<br />
considered uneconomic.<br />
