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 />

“<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 />

gathered more than 1300<br />

signatures on a petition, calling<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 />
