Bid to make Lyttelton an attraction
•From page 1
“Basically it will mean people
can come into the area and there
is stuff going on whereas now it
is disjointed with so much space
between buildings,” she said.
Funding for the work will be
sought from the city council’s
Long Term Plan.
Peden hoped the reduction of
sites throughout the port town
would make Lyttelton as much of
an attraction as Akaroa.
“Akaroa is known around the
world as a stand-alone attraction,
as a place to go and hopefully
Lyttelton will become the same
because it also has a lot of history”
The investigation which led
to the works being pursued was
conducted earlier this year and
produced a heatmap which illustrates
the areas across the city
and peninsula in most need of
regeneration.
Akaroa was identified as an
area vulnerable to environmental
hazards within the heatmap.
Council staff say since early
March when the heatmap was
first considered by councillors,
it has become apparent the
economic effects associated
with Covid-19 are likely to have
exacerbated issues facing weaker
areas and more deprived communities.
In response to the findings of
the investigation, city councillors
endorsed the central city and
Linwood/inner-city east area as
priority locations for regenerative
activity within the current
financial year.
Progress in the development of
community housing in areas of
need is another priority for the
city council in the short-term.
Fulfilling short-term objectives
within the heart of the city will
involve continuing to progress
with Project 8011 which looks to
boost the central city population
to 20,000 by 2028, the initiation
of a “vacant sites programme,”
alongside the continuation of the
overarching central city action
plan, Covid-19 socio-economic
recovery plan and Enliven Places
Programme.
The city council will also aim
to lead cross-agency work in
progressing the Inner City East/
Linwood Revitalisation Plan and
suburban centre Master Plan.
Longer-term priorities
include supporting localised
regeneration initiatives along the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
and leading a push for improved

“safety, connectivity and
resilience” in the Eastgate Mall
area in Linwood.
Improving the state of the
Bishopdale Community
Mall by addressing the council’s
land holdings within the centre
has been listed as another priority.
The city council recently
endorsed plans to work with
anchor tenants within the mall
on small-scale revitalisation, and
to develop an investment case to
see what more can be done, and
at what cost.
Guided walks
to resume at
Botanic Gardens
THIS WEEK will see the
resumption of guided walks
by the Friends of the Botanic
Gardens guiding team, but with a
difference.
Pre-lockdown, the guides
offered daily walks from the
museum from September to
April, with the great majority of
customers being overseas tourists.
The landscape has changed and
the guiding programme has had
to change with it.
From October to December
this year, the guides will be offering
a selection of daily 45min
walks in different parts of the
gardens.
The guides love to share the
stories of the unique Botanic
Garden, stories of its history, of
its place in the history, and stories
of trees and plants, such as the
iconic Kauri tree which belongs
to an ancient group of trees from
the times of the dinosaurs.
A relative of the kauri was
discovered as recently as 1994 in
the Blue Mountain region of New
South Wales – six specimens of
this tree are now planted along
the drive near the visitors’ centre.
Walks will be free until the end
of this year, and a small charge
may be incurred into 2021 to
support the work of the Botanic
Gardens.
