Don’t light our night sky – residents 

• By Sarla Donovan 

“BLINDED BY the light” sang 

Manfred Mann in 1976. 

Birdlings Flat residents seem 

to be singing from the same song 

sheet. 

At a community meeting 

attended by 29 locals, all but one 

person voted for less lighting in 

the community. 

One of them, Rima Herber, 

told Bay Harbour News it is an 

issue people in the area feel very 

strongly about. 

“Locals here love the dark 

nights and the starry skies and 

feel that their experience of 

these aspects of wild nature is 

seriously compromised by the 

current levels of street lighting,” 

Ms Herber said. 

She said the majority of people 

canvassed preferred no street 

lights at all. 

They are concerned the 

existing street lights are too 

bright and “intrusive” in terms 

of observing the night sky, 

especially the aurora, she said.

WOMEN HAVE joined the 

Ferrymead Lions for the first 

time since the group was formed 

41 years ago. 

Rosemary Lory, Ann Newsom, 

Jenny Godden and Ann 

Finnemore recently became the 

first female members of the club 

at the recent annual induction 

of new members and officers, 

known as ‘the change over meeting.’ 

Vice-president Bernie Godden 

said it added an extra special 

note to the annual event, held at 

the ‘Lions Den’ (aka the club’s 

meeting rooms in Ferrymead.) 

He said the change had been 

driven by current president Bill 

Newsom (Ann’s husband) “who 

decided it was about time we did 

it.” 

Mrs Godden, who is Bernie’s 

wife, said the club had made her 

feel extremely welcome.

THAT WAS one sweet equaliser for 

Ferrymead Bays (see page 23) against 

longtime rivals Cashmere Technical on 

Saturday. 

Midfielder Chris Murphy nailed the 

critical goal in the 93rd minute. 

It means Bays are two points behind Tech, Dunedin Technical, 

Nomads United and Coastal Spirit - still a good spot to be in 

the Southern league. 

Murphy told sports reporter Gordon Findlater: “I managed to 

turn a defender and got a little toe poke on it. I won’t glorify it 

too much, I’ve definitely scored some better goals in my time.” 

Meanwhile not such good news on the rugby front for Sumner 

(see page 20). Sumner went down to Sydenham and with it goes 

their semi-final hopes in the Hawkins trophy.

Slower speed for Richmond Hill 


RICHMOND HILL will have a 

restricted speed zone of 40km/h 

imposed from October as the 

city council attempts to address 

safety issues in the area. 

The 100 section-plus Greenwood 

Farm subdivision has 

generated additional traffic on 

the hill suburb’s narrow roads 

and increased community concern 

over driver and pedestrian 

safety. 

The restricted 

area starts at 

the bottom of 

Richmond Hill 

Rd where it 

meets Nayland 

St and stretches 

Sara 

Templeton 

up to the summit. 

Nayland St 

is not included. However, a trial 

30km/h speed limit there and 

on Wakefield Ave is expected 

later this year. 

Public consultation showed 

majority support for the measure, 

although a number of the 

68 submission criticised the lack 

of footpaths in the area. 

“It is very irresponsible for the 

city council to allow a new subdivision 

with hundreds of more 

vehicle movements per day and 

not upgrade the road and footpath,” 

said one submitter. 

“I would think this would 

actually be illegal. When we 

drive up and down the road, we 

daily see young school children 

in dark uniforms having to 

walk on the unlit road. It is just 

a matter of time before one of 

these children will be killed by 

a car.” 

City council manager planning 

delivery and transport 

Lynette Ellis said due to the 

physical constraints, particularly 

land stability, it was unlikely 


SLOWER: The speed limit on Richmond Hill will be lowered to 40km/h. 

any physical widening will be 

initiated. 

“Any upgrade will be in the 

form of repair and resurfacing 

to the current road surface and 

footpath.” 

She said at the time the consent 

was granted in 2006, the 

developer was not required to 

pay development contributions 

towards associated transport 

activity. 

Heathcote Ward city councillor 

Sara Templeton has asked 

city council staff to “investigate 

the pedestrian safety concerns 

on Richmond Hill Rd outlined 

in the submissions and report to 

the (Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community) Board with 

potential solutions by the end of 

2018.” 

She said the lack of footpaths 

in the hill suburbs had been a 

concern for some time, “especially 

for children getting to and 

from school.” 

It will cost about $5000 to 

install the new 40km/h speed 

signage on Richmond Hill.

SPORTS SHED THEFT 

The sports shed at Our Lady 

Star of the Sea School was 

broken into last week and 

most of the school’s footballs, 

basketballs and rugby balls 

were taken. Many of the balls 

were brand new and will be 

marked with the school’s name. 

The footballs are bright orange 

and yellow and have ‘Star of the 

Sea’ written on them. The balls 

can be dropped off at the school 

office if found. 

PEST TRAPS TAKEN HOME 

More than 60 people took part 

in a trap-building workshop 

at the Mt Pleasant Farmers’ 

Market on Saturday. More 

than 100 wooden rat traps 

were taken home for backyard 

trapping. The workshop was 

run by predator-free groups 

from Sumner, Mt Pleasant and 

Heathcote, and the materials 

were donated by Placemakers 

and Kiwibank with help from 

the Redcliffs Community Shed. 

RSA LIFE MEMBERS 

Les and Bev Salter have been 

named honorary life members 

of the Sumner/Redcliffs RSA. 

The couple joined the club in 

the mid-1980s and both served 

as club president during that 

time. Mr Salter was president 

from the late 1990s until 2009.

Pop-up gallery for Lyttelton Museum 



SIGNAGE FOR place names on 

all Banks Peninsula walks and 

reserves should be in both Maori 

and English, a group developing 

the Head-to-Head Walkway 

says. 

The group has 

asked the Banks 

Peninsula Community 

Board to 

recommend the city 

council institute the 

change and also 

consider extending 

bi-lingual signage to all parks 

and reserves in Christchurch. 

Head-to-Head Walkway 

working group chairman 

Jed O’Donoghue said Banks 

Peninsula was of particular importance 

because of the specific 

cultural values that existed in 

particular areas. 

“Each place has its own level 

of cultural significance and a 

lot of that is built into the place 

names. It means a lot to the local 

runanga and iwi and I think it 

(is positive) for our whole society 

Jed O’Donoghue 

A TEMPORARY pop-up art 

gallery will be installed on 

the vacant site of the planned 

Lyttelton Museum on London St. 

A partnership between the 

museum and Te Hapu o Ngati 

Wheke - called WHAKA Project 

2 - will enable 25 contemporary 

artists with connections to Banks 

Peninsula and Lyttelton Harbour 

to “produce works in response to 

local taonga from the museum’s 

collection in four, month-long 

exhibitions,” a city council report 

into the project said. 

It has been granted funding of 

$37,140 from the city council’s 

enliven places projects fund (formerly 

called the transitional city 

projects fund.) 

The fund was established in 

2012 to support projects in vacant 

city spaces and has a budget 

for the 2017-18 financial year of 

$150,000. 

The money will be use to 

fund “site activation, public 

programme delivery, exhibition 

delivery, artists’ fees, equipment 

and staff time, digital technology, 

Eftpos capability, exhibition 

materials, opening costs and 

deinstallation,” as well as support 

community engagement with 

the museum collection and local 

contemporary artists. 

An amount of $14,800 had 

been previously granted to the 

same entity to run WHAKA 

Project 1, which began on the 

site last week and will continue 

into July. That money was used 

to commission art from four 

Ngai Tahu artists “on themes of 

mahinga kai (food and natural 

history) and manaakitanga 

Bi-lingual signage for Banks Peninsula walkways 

to get used to place names in 

both languages.” 

Community boards were 

recently given Maori names 

by the city council to reflect 

an increased awareness of the 

language and culture. 

A city council spokeswoman 

said the Ngāi Tahu relationship 

team created the names “that reflects 

the wants of the rūnanga, 

(hospitality) to acknowledge the 

pre-colonial history of the area 

and welcome people back to the 

site.” 

WHAKA Project 1 will also 

include a “series of hakari 

(feasts) serving traditional local 

Maori kai to the community on 

the site accompanied by video 

projections and storytelling 

evenings to engage the 

community with the mauri (life 

force) of the place.” 

The second project plans to 

“expand on Project 1’s activation 

of the site” and will comprise 

a series of free, public talks 

and workshops on site during 

August, and a pop-up gallery 

from August to December. 

The city council innovation 

and sustainable development 

committee granted the money 

last week. 

and the desire to keep a Māori 

worldview towards naming each 

community board.” 

Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū/ 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board means the storehouse of 

Rākaihāutu. Rākaihāutu was 

one of the founding ancestors of 

Waitaha, an older South Island 

tribe, and explored the South 

Island’s mountains. 

FUNKY: An artist’s impression of WHAKA Project 2’s pop-up art 

gallery on the future Lyttelton Museum site. 

The rest of the boards’ new 

names begin with Wai, which 

means waters. 

Linwood-Central-Heathcote 

Community Board’s is Waikura 

– wai for waters and kura for 

leader. 

Once complete, the head to 

head walkway is planned to run 

from Lyttelton to beyond Purau.

Black Klansman - Race, Hate, and the 

Undercover investigation of Lifetime 

By ron Stallworth 

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE 

When Ron Stallworth, the first black detective in the history of the Colorado Springs Police 

Department, comes across a classified ad in the local paper asking for all those interested 

in joining the Ku Klux Klan to contact a P.O. box, Detective Stallworth does his job and 

responds with interest, using his real name while posing as a white man. He figures he’ll 

receive a few brochures in the mail, and learn more about a growing terrorist threat in his 

community. 

A few weeks later the office phone rings, and the caller asks Ron a question he thought he’d 

never have to answer, Would you like to join our cause? This is 1978, and the KKK is on 

the rise in the United States. Its Grand Wizard, David Duke, has made a name for himself, 

appearing on talk shows, and major magazine interviews preaching a kinder Klan that 

wants nothing more than to preserve a heritage, and to restore a nation to its former glory. 

Ron answers the caller’s question that night with a yes, launching what is surely one of the 

most audacious, and incredible undercover investigations in history. During the monthslong 

investigation, Stallworth sabotages cross burnings, exposes white supremacists in the 

military, and even befriends David Duke himself. Black Klansman is an amazing true story, 

a searing portrait of a divided America and the extraordinary heroes who dare to fight back.

Bodacious: The Shepherd cat 

By Suzanna Crampton 

BODACIOUS: THE SHEPHERD CAT is a heart-warming and charming tale in which Bodacious tells 

us about life as The Shepherd Cat on Black Sheep Farm. ‘I am Bodacious, The Shepherd Cat , and 

this is my life story. I wasn’t always called Bodacious. I must have been called something else in 

my kitten-hood in the nearby city of Kilkenny, but it’s all a bit of a mystery to My Human. As far as 

she’s concerned, I appeared one day and have never left. It’s a secret I plan to keep.’ Written from 

the perspective of Bodacious the cat, this is a beautifully written memoir of Bodacious’s life on the 

farm and everything that entails — early mornings, frosty starts, beautiful sunrises, adventurous 

rare-breed Zwartbles sheep, hard work, entertaining animals, mouth-watering food, kind people and 

idyllic country living with its highs and lows. The Shepherd often tells Bodacious her favourite story 

of how she went out to buy red ribbon to wrap a gift for her friend, but instead came home with a gift 

for herself: a daring, assertive, ambitious cat looking for a home. But soon The Shepherd realises 

she needs Bodacious as much as he needs her. As soon as he arrives, Bodacious saunters around 

the farm like he owns the place and immediately establishes himself as Top Cat. But Bodacious isn’t 

content to pad round the house and curl up by the Aga, and soon he befriends a farm cat called Oscar 

who trains him in the ways of the farm. As well as Oscar, Bodacious gets to know all the other animals 

on the farm — cats Miss Marley and Ovenmitt, the scruffy border collie/fox terrier-cross called Pepper, 

and The Big Fellow, to name a few. With wonderful characterisation, humour, sharp observation, and 

a plucky attitude, Bodacious shows us the ropes of Black Sheep Farm. As we soak in the atmosphere 

of the house, the orchards and the fields, we also learn how this Top Cat Shepherd got his name – by 

being ‘Big, bold, beautiful, bolshie’, as his Shepherd always says…

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That 

By Jayshri Ganda 

Finalist in the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 

We’ve all been there. Mum cooks a family classic and it’s delicimo. You try to 

emulate it at home and fail miserably. What does she put in it? What was that 

secret ingredient? Not wanting the family secrets to be lost for future generations, 

Christchurch woman Jayshri Ganda and her mum Laxmi Ganda created an Indian 

cookbook. And it’s like no other you have seen, anywhere. 

Many Indians left their home villages in search of a better future. They found their 

home in a place known as the Land of the Long White Cloud: New Zealand. With 

their knowledge of spices, they brought their Indian flavours, colours and traditions. 

The next generation and even their kiwi friends and families ask how to make a 

great curry - and the familiar respons is “a little bit of this and a little bit of that”. 

Jayshri and her mother Laxmi explore these dishes and hope to have found an 

answer they they can share with all New Zealanders.

And with the city council looking to replace 

90 per cent of its streetlight network 

with brighter blue/white LED lights within 

the next three years, residents are worried 

the situation will worsen. 

The current lights in Birdlings Flat were 

installed in 2004, according to city council 

records. 

Ms Herber has written to the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board outlining 

the community’s concerns and asking it to 

investigate dark-sky lighting similar to that 

used in Tekapo. 

City council manager planning and 

delivery transport Lynette Ellis said the 

lights in Birdlings Flat would be replaced 

as part of the city council’s LED conversion 

project. “However, due to the special 

nature of the area, we would be happy to 

look at options,” she said. 

Once the city-wide conversion project 

was completed, it would deliver a 69 per 

said the move was “long overdue” and was 

one of the most significant events in the 

history of the club. The Lions organisation 

was founded in 1917, with an exclusively 

male membership. As the movement 

grew, women – particularly Lion spouses 

– embraced the Lions’ mission of service 

and began forming auxiliary clubs, 

formally recognised in 1975 as the Lioness 

Programme. 

The programme continued to grow until 

1987 when the international Lions Club 

constitution was amended to admit both 

men and women. 

Mr Godden said most Lions clubs 

in Christchurch already had women 

members. 

Don’t light our night

cent reduction in electricity consumption, 

and reduce carbon emissions by 1500 

tonne and operational expenditure by $1.6 

million per year, said Ms Ellis. 

There are plans to install a control system 

that will allow lights to be dimmed in 

the early hours of the morning. 

Ms Ellis said the city council had 

considered research on the effects of LED 

lighting. 

“There is no reason to suggest that well 

designed LED road lighting using colour 

temperature of 4000K or less, has any 

impact on human health,” she said. 

Around 18 per cent of the current street 

light network is LED.

Demolition work about to 

start as Redcliffs School 

site swap begins 

Craig Minehan - Like many 

others, I am bemused, astounded 

and angry that the Redcliffs 

School principal and the board 

of trustees failed to stand up to 

the bullying Ministry of Education 

when they decreed that 

Redcliffs School could only survive 

if it were relocated to what 

was once a rubbish dump, with 

ongoing flooding issues, possible 

tsunami risk, and arguably not 

what the majority of locals want! 

It is very clear to anyone with 

half a brain that the existing site 

is absolutely the best place for the 

school. It’s safe, solid (non-toxic) 

ground, well above sea level, fairly 

well sheltered from the wind, 

with no danger from rockfall. 

The board and principal have 

stated that “we had no choice,” 

and that it was “the quickest 

way to get the children back to a 

school in Redcliffs.” 

Well, they did have a choice, 

but they chose to give in rather 

than continue the good fight 

they began, and if they think it 

will be the fastest option, once 

the gravy-train of consultants, 

geo-tech engineers, etc start 

poking around in the boggy 

minefield that is Redcliffs Park 

. . . it may well take an awful lot 

longer than they think. 

Redcliffs School board of 

trustees chairman Darren 

Fidler responds 

For the benefit of those who 

are taking the time to write in 

to the paper now, I hope they 

do not forget the thousands of 

voluntary hours that went in 

to avoiding the closure of our 

school. 

These hours were given willingly 

on top of full time jobs

(including keeping a great school

commitments that our community 

have. We were fortunate 

enough to have dozens of experts 

helping us across a broad range 

of disciplines from geotechnical 

to political, from legal to media 

and many others besides. 

The vast majority of this help 

was voluntary, and if we didn’t 

know what we needed to, we 

researched it so that we could 

have an informed opinion. Much 

of the work we undertook is 

fully documented in the three 

submissions we made to the 

government. 

We have explained many times 

how we have always endeavoured 

to do what is best for the future 

of our school, whilst continuing 

to maintain an outstanding 

quality of learning in the here 

We will deliver!

having. Perhaps the long hours, 

sleepless nights, significant stress

end goal in mind: returning our 

school to our community. 

We at last have this certainty 

of a school in Redcliffs, with 

the build process proceeding 

well, thanks to the thousands of 

hours of dedicated and selfless 

volunteers. We’d like to take 

the opportunity to thank these 

people again.

questions 

why consents are being 

denied or delayed to 

Redcliffs sites in the 

Higher Flood Hazard 

Management Area 

Many folk will remember 

British MP Austin Mitchell’s 

portrayal of New Zealand as 

being the ‘half gallon quarter 

acre paradise.’ In essence what 

he meant was that NZ is a 

wonderful place to live where a 

person’s home is their castle. 

Redcliffs residents are 

discovering that the investment 

in their home and castle could 

be undermined by city council 

planning policy. The city council 

selected 1m sea level rise, 

mapped the coverage area and 

is restricting building in these 

areas - Higher Flood Hazard 

Management Areas. There are 

1486 Redcliffs and Southshore 

properties zoned into the 

HFHMA. Residents wishing 

to build on vacant sections or 

extend their home will now 

likely face great difficulty. 

There are some sad stories 

circulating. People have in good 

faith spent many thousands 

of dollars on architect’s fees, 

then meet with city planners 

in pre-application meeting for 

which they have been charged 

exorbitant fees only to have 

impediments put in their way or 

worse, declined a consent. 

City council planning policy 

is coming at a high financial and 

emotional cost to ratepayers. 

Where residents are managing 

to obtain a consent, the city 

council then issues them with 

what is called a ‘Section 72 

notice.’ The dilemma with the 

‘Section 72 notice’ is that the city 

council will place a warning on 

the owner’s legal title. 

Before they do this they will 

ask the owner to acknowledge in 

writing the implications of the 

warning. This means the owner 

takes the risk thereby reducing 

the liability for the city council. 

Matters get further 

complicated because ‘hazard 

notices can affect your ability to 

obtain insurances and to on-sell 

your property in the future.’ 

This is where the plot thickens. 

The independent hearings panel 

developed an overlay enabling 

building to be a discretionary 

activity in the HFHMA rather 

than a non-compliant activity. 

The problem appears to be a 

drafting error between the draft 

supplied to the hearings panel 

and the final draft supplied by 

the city council. An essential 

clause was excluded that would 

allow the overlay to be applied 

correctly as intended by the 

panel. The $64,000 question is 

why have the panel’s directions 

not been followed? 

The city council from my 

perspective are red-zoning 

Redcliffs residents by stealth. 

Only after Christchurch Coastal 

Residents United approached the 

city council with the issue did 

the city council start discussing 

the issue. 

Recently we have met with and 

sought the support of our local 

MPs to help resolve this concern. 

It is time for the city council to 

do the right thing by Redcliffs 

residents and to correct this 

major error.

Changes 

to London 

St parking 

mooted 

THE PARKING layout on west 

London St is being reviewed 

following the rebuild and 

relocation of Lyttelton fire 

station and the ambulance 

station. 

The section between Dublin 

St and Canterbury St currently 

has a variety of on street 

parking restrictions, parking 

signage, and line markings. 

Demand for parking is high at 

times, including on Saturdays 

during the Lyttelton Farmers 

market. 

Yellow cross hatching will be 

painted on the road to ensure 

entrances to St John and the fire 

station are kept clear. 

There is also a proposal to 

paint no-stopping lines outside 

Albion Square to allow access 

for maintenance vehicles. 

A five minute parking 

restriction outside the ATM and 

60-min parking from Spooky 

Boogie cafe and the old fire 

station site to Canterbury St is 

also being proposed. 

Consultation on the plan 

closed on Monday. 


ANOTHER STEP towards 

tighter restrictions on freedom 

camping is expected today. 

Community concern about the 

number of freedom campers in 

Akaroa and other parts of Banks 

Peninsula has prompted the city 

council to look at amending the 

Freedom Camping Bylaw 2015. 

The city council regulatory 

performance committee is meeting 

today to consider a report 

that recommends amending the 

bylaw to prohibit freedom camping 

in all but one part of Akaroa. 

The freedom camping area on 

Rue Brittan would continue, allowing 

self-contained vehicles for 

up two nights. 

A “one vehicle per marked 

space” addition to the bylaw 

would help address overcrowding. 

“A prohibition across Akaroa 

will enable simple and clear messaging 

about freedom camping,’’ 

the city council staff report said. 

If the report recommendations 

are adopted today, consultation 

will be held to gather public 

feedback on the proposed bylaw 

change. 

A hearings panel would then 

make a final recommendation to 

the city council on whether the 

bylaw should be amended. 

Any changes would be in place 

for the start of this summer’s 

freedom camping season. 

Akaroa residents have expressed 

concerns about some 

freedom campers’ behaviour, 

such as toileting in public places 

and dumping rubbish. 

A community survey showed 

63 per cent support for tighter restrictions 

on overnight freedom 

camping in Akaroa. 

Seventy-seven per cent of survey 

respondents were opposed to 

freedom camping in residential 

areas and 65 per cent were opposed 

to freedom camping along

THREE FINALISTS have been 

chosen in a design contest for the 

Collett’s Corner site in Lyttelton. 

There were 31 entries for the 

competition, which was run by 

site owner Ohu Developments. 

The design brief was for a 

building which would house 

public baths, a hotel, retail spaces 

and a cinema. 

Ohu Developments founding 

partner Camia Young said she 

was “over the moon” with the 

three finalists. 

The finalists were chosen by a 

panel made up of Ms Young, an 

architect; New Zealand Institute 

of Architects chairman Tony 

van Raat and Deputy Mayor 

Andrew Turner. A public vote 

on the designs also informed the 

judges’ decision and was given a 

25 percent weighting. 

“Essentially it was a fourperson 

vote and the public was 

one of them,” said Ms Young. 

The chosen designs are 

‘Chance Encounters’ by Auckland 

studio AHHA; ‘The Hive’ 

by Christchurch group In-Flux 

and ‘We Dine Together’ by 

Auckland collective Oto Group. 

A rooftop garden features 

in two designs while another 

proposes a rooftop urban farm. 

Laneways, bridges and courtyards 

also feature. 

The finalists now have eight 

SPACES: 

‘The Hive’ is

three finalists 

and features

weeks to further develop their 

concepts before presenting their 

designs in September. 

Ms Young said it was an extremely 

difficult decision. 

“I would say there were nine 

that could have gone on to stage 

two. There were some really 

strong designs, there wasn’t one 

that just floated to the top.” 

She said each of the chosen 

teams was relatively young, 

“which was interesting because 

they were competing against 

some extremely established companies; 

the young teams tended 

to have more innovative ideas by 

way of the concepts themselves,” 

said Ms Young. The winner will 

be announced on September 14. 

Bar cafe on

A WATERING hole popular 

with Diamond Harbour 

residents and visitors is for sale. 

Dark Star Ale House and 

Cafe, on Waipapa Ave, has been 

put on the market as owners 

Martin and Donna Richardson 

concentrate on developing their 

growing 

brewery 

business. 

Since 

purchasing 

what was then 

the Rough 

Diamond in 

2016, the cafe 

and pub has 

developed 

a loyal 

following amongst locals and 

the Dark Star ales have been an 

important part of that. 

The couple have decades of 

experience both in hospitality 

management and brewing. 

Mr Richardson, who is from 

the United Kingdom, has been a 

brewer for 30 years so a cafe and 

‘We’re just coming 

to an age now where 

we want quality of life 

with the family as well 

as running a business’ 

– Donna Richardson 

brew pub seemed the perfect 

mix. 

Mrs Richardson said they had 

“loved the experience,” but the 

decision to sell was a lifestyle 

choice and would let them 

concentrate on the brewery and 

their family commitments. 

“Our children are still only 

13 and 15 and during winter 

it’s a lot more 

hands on . . 

. we’re just 

coming to 

an age now 

where we 

want quality 

of life with the 

family as well 

as running a 

business.” 

Dark Star 

beers are currently brewed 

through Eagle, Twisted Hop and 

Raindogs breweries using Mr 

Richardson’s recipes. 

They now hope to develop a 

brewing operation in Diamond 

Harbour.

Cafe is listed on Trade Me.

Auctions onsite 

or inrooms? 

This has been a great debate among 

agents and property sellers for years. 

There is no question that auctions are 

a popular and successful way to sell a 

property but which is better, to hold your 

auction onsite as a stand-alone event or 

to have it among other properties at an 

independent auction venue away from 

the property? Here at Prier Manson Real 

Estate we support both situations but, in 

truth, we love our onsite auctions. Over 

the years we have literally conducted 

hundreds of auctions in our core trading 

suburbs of Sumner, Redcliffs, Mt Pleasant 

and Lyttelton. Often they become a 

community event and it is not surprising 

to see the same faces in the crowd week 

after week taking an interest in what’s 

happening in their area or just enjoying 

the spectacle. And it still surprises us 

when something amazing happens at an 

onsite auction. Last weekend was a good 

example. At an onsite auction in Redcliffs 

we had two buyers turn up out of the 

blue who were literally passing by the 

property and thought they would stop 

for a look. Both ended up placing bids for 

it with one being the eventual highest 

bidder and new owner. Fortunately both 

bidders were known to us and we were 

happy to accept their bids but it still 

shows what can happen when the flags 

are flying and a crowd is watching on. 

Inrooms auctions also throw up surprises, 

particularly with our “as is, where is” 

properties. We are often seeing the same 

buyers turning up each week for our 

“as is” auctions and it is not unusual for 

one of these buyers to start bidding on 

a property they haven’t actually viewed 

when they see another buyer who may 

be known to them also bidding on it. 

Obviously we would never recommend 

buyers to bid on a property that they have 

never seen or had the chance to complete 

Due Diligence or had legal advice on 

however it is an interesting example that 

shows how confidence by one bidder can 

give confidence to another. 

Have a chat to us today if you are keen to 

find out more about bidding at auction or 

if you are considering selling.

Blame game over large slip 


BANKS PENINSULA farmer 

Giles Foley believes forestry 

trucks and wet weather caused 

a large slip along Gap Rd where 

he’s lived and worked for the past 

eight years. 

In April, Robin Hood Bay 

Forestry started a trial harvest 

of 20ha from a 260ha block 

which lies between remote Robin 

Hood Bay and Peraki Bay, on the 

peninsula’s southern edge. 

But logging contractor PF 

Olsen - which last year hit the 

headlines after swathes of logs 

and debris were washed down 

from Waiake Forest, causing 

$100,000 of damage to Louden 

Farm in Teddington – doesn’t 

think trucks are the problem and 

neither does the city council. 

Mr Foley estimates around 

60 truck-and-trailer trips have 

been made up Gap Rd since the 

harvest began, each weighing 50 

tonne. He said the combination 

of wet weather and heavy vehicles 

resulted in the slip on June 14. 

However PF Olsen Canterbury 

branch manager Marty Watson 

said he believed it was wet 

weather that caused the slip, 

not trucks. He said the section 

of road was quite narrow and 

looked like it had been patched 

up over the years since Gap Rd 

was built. 

LOGGING: A Banks Peninsula farmer says forestry trucks and 

wet weather caused a large slip on Gap Rd. But a logging company 

and the city council disagree. 

“My pick is that’s been a 

problem spot all along,” he said. 

City council road maintenance 

manager Mark Pinner also 

rejected the idea logging trucks 

were responsible, saying the city 

council “did not believe the slip 

was instigated by the increase in 

heavy traffic but rather the wet 

weather.” 

Robin Hood Bay Forestry partowner 

Ben Moir told the Bay 

Harbour News he had concerns 

about starting the trial harvest so 

close to winter, but strengthening 

and widening parts of Gap Rd 

was a condition of their consent 

and the work had taken longer 

than expected. 

“It’s unfortunate. I think it 

should be harvested in summer,” 

he said. However, there are still 

6000 tonne of logs on the site to 

be moved and Mr Moir said they 

needed to get them out before the 

condition of the logs deteriorated 

and they became unsaleable. 

That will mean about another 

120 truck-and-trailer loads on 

the road. 

It comes as new national 

environmental standards 

for plantation forestry take 

effect across the country. An 

Environment Canterbury 

working group looking at the 

standards is warning of the 

risks forestry poses to land and 

waterways on erosion-prone 

Banks Peninsula. 

The standards came into effect 

on May 1 and set out a consistent 

set of regulations for forestry 

owners across the country. It is 

likely to mean tighter rules for 

forestry operators. 

Working group member 

Virginia Loughnan told 

the Banks Peninsula water 

management zone joint 

committee recently there had 

been few resource consents 

required of forestry operators 

to date, and “very limited” 

monitoring of forestry operations 

on the peninsula. 

“There continue to be visible 

examples where forestry setbacks 

from waterways, roads and 

property boundaries have not 

been complied with.” 

Mr Foley believes better 

guidelines are needed for forestry 

operators in the future.

Funding to 

help protect 

diversity 

EIGHT PRIVATE landowners 

on Banks Peninsula will benefit 

from thousands of dollars in 

funding to protect biodiversity. 

The city council-funded Biodiversity 

Fund provides $200,000 

a year to support ecological enhancement 

work on private land. 

Eight of the nine projects are 

on Banks Peninsula and all 

involve installing or extending 

fencing to prevent stock from 

accessing indigenous vegetation 

and/or waterways. Funding for 

the eight totals $171,671. 

Sites involved are within Orton 

Bradley Park and Living Springs, 

at Paua Bay, French Peak, Armstrong 

Stream, Wainui Stream, 

Duvauchelle Peak and Okuti 

River. 

Some areas support a high 

diversity of indigenous plant species 

such as at Duvauchelle Peak 

and Paua Bay. Others, including 

Wainui and Armstrong Streams, 

are home to threatened or at-risk 

fish and invertebrate species. 

The only project outside of 

Banks Peninsula to get funding 

was Smacks Creek, a tributary of 

the Styx River which was granted 

$23,892.

PROJECT: Jayden Rae (left) 

from Burnside High School, Jack 

Bateman from St Thomas, and 

Dominic Prakash from van Asch 

Deaf Education Centre help create a 

partial replica of the signal station at 

Godley Head which was manned by 

sailors (above) during WW2. 

‘Cool Man’ splashes out on 

last day as acting principal 

It was Tim ‘Cool Man’ Kearns’ last day as acting principal at 

Our Lady Star of the Sea School on Friday. To celebrate, he 

shouted all the pupils Mr Whippy ice cream, which proved 

a massive hit with one and all. Mr Kearns has filled the 

principal’s role since John Kane stepped down after four 

years in December to become principal at Tai Tapu School. 

Students start rebuilding 

history at Godley Head 


AN introductory trades course at 

the Ara Institute of Canterbury is 

helping to reconstruct history at 

Godley Head. 

Assisted by the Godley Head 

Heritage Trust and the Department 

of Conservation, 15 students 

are creating a partial replica 

of the port-war signal station, 

used to defend Lyttelton Harbour 

during World War 2. 

The project involves building 

and painting a replica set of 

wooden cubby boxes, originally 

used by the New Zealand Navy to 

house signal flags. 

In WW2, navy sailors stationed 

at Godley Head used flags and a 

small Aldis searchlight to identify 

ships coming into the harbour 

as either friend or foe. If the boat 

could not be recognised or failed 

to identify itself correctly, they 

would contact the army, which 

could be mobilise troops within 

12min. 

When completed, the replica 

signal boxes will contribute to a 

heritage display at the regional 

headquarters building in Godley 

Head. The display depicts the 

events that took place at Godley 

Head during WW2. 

For high school-aged students 

from the construction and infrastructure 

pathways programme 

at Ara, the project gives them 

hands-on construction experience. 

The students come from 

secondary schools across the 

city, including Van Asch Deaf 

Education Centre and Linwood 

College. 

Banks Peninsula 

Water Zone Committee 

Forestry on Banks Peninsula 

Fiona (Grace) Nicol, Banks Peninsula 

Water Zone Committee member 

Forestry is a topical issue nationally 

at the moment, with large rain events 

potentially a high-risk event for wash 

out of timber and exposed soil onto 

neighbouring properties and into streams 

and harbours. 

With its finger on the pulse, the Banks Peninsula Zone 

Committee (BPZC) has been working on this issue for the past 

six months and has received presentations from community 

and expert advice from both Environment Canterbury and 

Christchurch City Council. 

The main finding from the committee has been that up until 

now there has been regionally different, and sometimes 

minimal regulations, consents and compliance required for 

forestry all over New Zealand. But that all this is changing now. 

In May 2018 new National Forestry Standards were released 

by central government. These new standards will be 

streamlined into regional and local council rules and the 

industry will be more regulated than it is now. 

The BPZC is working with both Environment Canterbury 

and Christchurch City Council as they integrate these new 

national standards into local plans and rules. The committee 

has recommended that councils consider the unique nature 

of Banks Peninsula when determining how to implement the 

new rules. 

For example: 

• Peninsula soils are prone to erosion and 

there are a number of high-risk sediment 

catchments on the Peninsula such as 

Whakaraupo/Lyttelton Harbour. 

• Banks Peninsula has many short steep 

catchments, streams and areas of biodiversity with 

important ecological and cultural values, many of 

which are already mapped. It is important that the new 

standards take these areas into consideration and these 

areas are protected. 

• The zone committee promote the compliance of the new 

standards by councils and also encourage communities to 

work in partnership to ensure that any breaches of the new 

standards are reported and recorded. 

The BPZC will work with councils to help communicate 

information about the new forestry standards and what 

it means for landowners and forestry operators on 

Banks Peninsula. 

It is early days but as more information becomes available 

we will help get it out to the community. Please keep your 

eye out in local papers over the coming months for more 

information about these new forestry requirements. 

The zone committee meet every month to discuss water 

management issues on Banks Peninsula so come along to 

one of our meetings and have your say. 

The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is a community-led committee 

supported by Christchurch City Council and Environment Canterbury.

Back to the dance at Pigeon Bay 


THE PIGEON Bay Settlers Hall 

is fairly unique among country 

halls. 

Built on the site of the Pigeon 

Bay Inn back in 1921, its sprung 

dance floor came from the old 

Canterbury Society of Arts 

building in Christchurch. 

Dance halls with sprung hard 

wood floors became common 

in the early 20th century, their 

spring provided through bending 

woven wooden battens. 

The flexible floor made it 

more comfortable to dance on 

and Pigeon Bay Hall went on to 

host many memorable balls and 

events. 

The upcoming mid-winter 

dance aims to bring back that 

tradition. 

Pigeon Bay residents Sandra 

and David Innes have fond memories 

of the annual balls. 

Seventy-six-year-old farmer 

Mr Innes is fourth generation 

Pigeon Bay, born and bred. 

He remembers the Reynish 

family - a well-known farming 

family in the bay - had enough 

sons to provide an entire musical 

group. 

Known as the Reynish Brothers 

Band, they played regularly 

at the hall throughout the 1950s 

and 1960s. 

Two much anticipated annual 

events were the Manchester 

Unity Lodge Ball and the Plunket 

Ball which continued through to 

the 1970s, Mrs Innes recalls . 

“In the earlier years they were 

quite a social event. People came 

from Akaroa and all around 

the peninsula. In earlier years 

they came (by horse and cart) 

and later they put on a bus from 

Akaroa to Pigeon Bay.” 

“There would be 200 people 

for a ball,” she said. “It was all 

long dresses and black suits, 

ball frocks and shawls on snowy 

nights. They had big suppers, 

plenty of booze flowing and 

always a band.” 

The hall has also been used as 

a Plunket room and a library; 

hosted weddings and other community 

events. 

But the time came when motor 

vehicles became widespread and 

people could drive to socialise 

and eat out. It wasn’t so important 

to have the local gatherings 

in the bay. 

And then the shop and the 

school went. 

“That made a huge difference 

to the Pigeon Bay community; 

many families moved away from 

the area,” Mrs Innes says. 

“it’s through the likes of (dance 

organiser Fiona Grace) now who 

are trying to get these community 

functions back again.” 

•The Pigeon Bay Hall 

Mid-Winter Dance is on 

Saturday, July 21, 6pmmidnight. 

Tickets $15 

•For the Pigeon Bay 

Settlers Hall grand 

opening on April 29, 1921 

the SS Cygnet sailed 

from Lyttelton with 120 

passengers, arriving in 

time for high tea. 

•Residents came from 

Akaroa and “every part of 

the Peninsula in goodly 

numbers.” 

•Between 400-500 

people attended. 

•Arthus Goodwin was the 

hall’s committee chair 

assisted by J Reynish, H 

Bloomquist, V Craw, H 

Pettigrew, F Corrigal and 

Allan Goodwin. He said in 

his speech it was one of 

the happiest moments of 

his life.

Sumner’s semi-final 

hopes washed away 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THEY MAY have started with 

a hiss and a roar, but Sumner 

were eventually put to the sword 

by Sydenham on Saturday as 

the wave’s semi-final hopes were 

washed away in the 8-38 defeat. 

It was hard to see the game 

getting as far away as it did for 

Sumner. They jumped out to 

an early 8-0 lead at Sydenham 

Park and looked to have taken 

inspiration from their under-12 

sharks team that defeated Sydenham 

22-12 earlier in the day. 

It took just 5min for winger 

Filimoni Waqainabete to break 

through a gap on halfway before 

putting in Charles Oswald to 

score in the left corner. The early 

advantage was then extended 

just minutes later through a 

penalty. 

This would be the last time 

Sumner would spend a prolonged 

period of time in the 

Sydenham half. 

The hosts stepped up a gear 

and quickly found themselves 

with a lead two tries to the good 

and playing with a one man advantage 

after Hayden O’Donnell 

was sent to the bin. 

“After the loss last week, it was 

just about having a swing,” said 

coach Martin Dodgson. 

“We had a good chance in 

their half up 8-0 and, if we score 

there, then we put them under a 

bit of pressure, but unfortunately 

they came down the other end 

and got a try.” 

The second half was one-way 

traffic for Sydenham who regularly 

found their way through 

Sumner’s defence. 

With a semi-final now out 

of reach, Sumner will be playing 

for pride when they host 

Christchurch at St Leonards 

Park on Saturday. 

SPORTS 

Running club takes 

13 podium finishes 


THE SUMNER Running 

Club were represented by 42 

athletes at the South Island 

cross-country championships on 

Saturday where they recorded 13 

podium finishes. 

Runners across junior and senior 

grades assembled at the Ascot 

golf course at QE II Park in unseasonably 

warm conditions to 

take on the cross-country course 

with distances ranging from 

2000m to 9000m. 

The Sumner junior contingent 

of 28 competed admirably, 

taking home five medals. Silver 

medals were won by Charlie 

Bailey in the boys 13 grade, Lucy 

Wheeler in the girls 10 grade 

and Abigail Scott-Douglas in the 

girls eight grade. Bronze medals 

were won by Madeline Sharpe 

in the girls 13 grade and Zara 

Percasky in the girls eight and 

under grade. 

The highlight of the senior 

racing was a one-two finish for 

Sumner in the men’s 40 and over 

event. David Fitch was the first 

to finish the 9000m race in a 

time of 31min 56sec. He was followed 

by fellow Sumner runner 

Nathan Jones who came home 

second in a time of 33min 9sec. 

There was also victory for 

Graham Batchelor in the men’s 

70 and over race. Batchelor completed 

the 7000m race in 35min 

21sec. 

Sumner runners will now turn 

their attention to the Canterbury 

cross-country championships at 

Halswell Quarry on July 21.

Injury time equalizer 

nets Bays 1-1 draw 


A 93RD-MINUTE equaliser 

from Chris Murphy saw 

Ferrymead Bays hold rivals 

Cashmere Technical to a 

1-1 draw at Garrick Park on 

Saturday. 

The late goal was also 

crucial to Bays’ chances in the 

Southern League. The result 

means Bays have two draws two 

their name after two rounds 

and are two points behind 

Technical, Dunedin Technical, 

Nomads United and Coastal 

Spirit, all on four points. 

Their equaliser against the 

competition favourites came 

SPORTS 

from a flicked on header which 

the central midfielder ran onto 

before putting the ball in the 

back of the net. 

“I managed to turn a 

defender and got a little toepoke 

on it. I won’t glorify it too 

much, I’ve definitely scored 

some better goals in my time,” 

said Murphy. 

Technical’s opening goal 

came in the first half after a shot 

from Aaron Clapham hit the 

post and sat up for striker Andy 

Tuckey to head home. 

“That was one of the only 

chances they had,” said Bays’ 

captain Richard Astley. 

“We felt we deserved the 

point at the end. We really 

fronted up and, if anything, 

were maybe unlucky not to do 

better to get three points.” 

Bays will host Selwyn United 

in a friendly on Saturday due to 

a break in the competition over 

the weekend for the Chatham 

Cup. 

Their next Southern League 

match will see them travel 

to Dunedin to play Dunedin 

Technical on July 22. 

EQUALIZER: Chris Murphy scored for Bays in the third-minute of stoppage time to save a draw 

against Tech on Saturday.

SUPER CHARGED: The Electric Avenue team from Redcliffs 

School finished third in the EPro8 Challenge final last week. 

L-R: Lewis Hollis-Locke, Ruby Love-Smith, Ted Elworthy and 

Luca Rose. 

Creative challenge 

for Redcliffs pupils 

A COMBINED year 5 and 6 

Redcliffs School team faced off 

against opponents from across 

Canterbury in a contest of 

creative problem solving and 

engineering skills last week - the 

EPro8 Challenge finals. 

Challenges included building a 

mini-Mars Rover with a working 

gear box, or a 1.8m high crane capable 

of lifting 1kg of weight and 

building a booby trap that would 

automatically fire a party popper 

when a cookie jar is lifted up. 

Team member Edward Elworthy 

reported on the day’s events: 

My team was called Electric 

Avenue. We had to work on four 

pin bowling, snail racing, rowing 

machine and limbo bar. 

This was the grand final so 

the challenges were harder than 

usual. One of the rules was that it 

had to be fit for purpose. For example, 

one of the challenges was 

to build a bed and solar powered 

alarm for Uncle Albert, so you 

also had to build a bedside table. 

SCHOOLS 

My team came third-equal 

with Geraldine Primary School, 

alias GPS Magic. We tied with 

270 points each, 10 points behind 

the second-placed Tech Geeks 

[Ashburton Borough School] 

and winners Kaiapoi North Tech 

Knights [Kaiapoi North School.] 

It was an extremely stressful 

time as the equipment had been 

used by 11 teams before us so it 

was a bit worn out. 

Redcliffs School entered three 

teams, including a year 5 team 

called Amazonian Sloths, and 

a year 6 team, Zombie Warfare, 

which came fifth in the grand 

final with 240 points. 

The challenge was out of the 

whole of Canterbury. 

I’m very proud of this achievement.

Funny Kid - Prank Wars 

by Matt Stanton 

‘MY NEW ULTIMATE FAVOURITE BOOK!’ 

- Lachie, aged 11, on Funny Kid for President 

Every kid wants to laugh, but Max is the boy who can make 

it happen. 

As he and his classmates head off on a camping trip, the new boy, 

Tyson, decides to play some jokes of his own. 

Max is the funny kid... and now there’s a prank war to be won! 

Monsters in the lake, smuggling ducks, dig-your-own toilets, capsizing canoes, 

absolutely not falling in love and beans that give you the runs are just some of the 

things in store for Max and his friends in this brand-new adventure. 

For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Tom Gates, FUNNY KID is the 

mega-bestseller from author-illustrator Matt Stanton.

His name fills the streets with fear… In the chilling new crime novel from awardwinning 

author Liam McIlvanney, a serial killer stalks the streets of Glasgow and 

DI McCormack follows a trail of secrets to uncover the truth… 

A city torn apart. Glasgow, 1969. In the grip of the worst winter for years, the city 

is brought to its knees by a killer whose name fills the streets with fear: the Quaker. 

He takes his next victim – the third woman from the same nightclub – and dumps 

her in the street like rubbish. 

A detective with everything to prove. The police are left chasing a ghost, with no 

new leads and no hope of catching their prey. DI McCormack, a talented young 

detective from the Highlands, is ordered to join the investigation. But his arrival is 

met with anger from a group of officers on the brink of despair. Soon he learns just 

how difficult life can be for an outsider. 

A killer who hunts in the shadows. When another woman is found murdered in a 

tenement flat, it’s clear the case is by no means over. From ruined backstreets to 

the dark heart of Glasgow, McCormack follows a trail of secrets that will change 

the city – and his life – forever…
