Girl Guides Get Stuck In 200 Native Trees Planted at Living Springs Girl Guides aspire to help young women reach their potential and make a difference in the world. Recently they had a chance to do just that. On the 20th September, the Rapaki and Ferrymead District Girl Guides made a difference to the environment at Living Springs, at the head of Lyttelton Harbour. More than 60 Guides tackled some hard work during their weekend camp at Living Springs planting the remaining 200 native trees to completing a large revegetation project at the camp. The long-term aspiration is an eco-sanctuary that will be beneficial to the Harbour area as well as the city of Christchurch. In total, the project has seen more than 4,700 natives planted along the waterways at Living Springs. Other groups who have contributed to this significant planting project include Burnham Limited Service Volunteers, Eagle Consumables, staff from Environment Canterbury and many other people from the community. Funded by Environment Canterbury and Canterbury Water Management Banks Peninsula Zone Committee, and enabled by a series of community and corporate planting days, Kanuka, Totara, Kahikatea, Flaxes, Toi Toi and other varieties will enhance the biodiversity of the area and take Living Springs one step closer to becoming a significant eco-sanctuary in the Lyttelton Harbour area and the wider region. Living Springs is well known for its high quality and adventurous camps. Over the last 40 years, Living Springs has been working hard to champion the environment and has completed a number of projects. This is a large scale re-vegetation project, involving in the first instance protection, of the waterways of the Allandale catchment from the Crater to the Sea (Ki Uta Ki Tai). It has required the installation of several kilometres of livestock fencing as well as extensive riparian planting to enhance water quality and encourage the development of aquatic stream life. The next stages involve further fencing, planting, site inventories and predator control programmes. For more information on Living Springs call Wendy Duggan on 03 329 9788 or go online to www.livingsprings.co.nz or email info@livingsprings.co.nz.

Help Our Young Mums Plunket Playgroup Needs Support One Lyttelton community group that’s really struggling since the earthquakes is the Plunket Playgroup. After the loss of the Plunket rooms the group has really struggled to find suitable premises. They have moved from the Recreation Centre to the former Lyttelton West and Lyttelton Main Schools, and now to the Union Parish Church. They have been very grateful to be offered each venue, however each site has posed challenges for them. Prior to the earthquakes Lyttelton had a thriving Plunket Playgroup based in their Sumner Road purpose built rooms. They had playgroups running on Wednesdays and Thursdays and at the height of activity they had 39 families participating! Marcia Bryant a long-time supporter and helper believes Plunket was really successful at this site because it was a stress free environment for parents and children. “With flat spaces, good indoor outdoor flow, great toys, versatile areas and a central location - it worked well for families” she said. Post-earthquake this isn’t the scenario. With little support to re-build the former Plunket rooms the team has had to operate from spaces that are used for many other activities. For example their current location is the Union Church in Winchester Street. First glance this looks a great site. It’s central and accessible however there are a few challenges. With a little extra help they believe they could operate a good playgroup from there. The main problem is setting up and putting away each session because all their toys are stored in an outside shed. A child free adult to help with this or play with the children to free up team members would make all the difference they said. More local families getting involved would also help the situation. The Playgroup has lost numbers with all the changes and yet there are loads of young families in the Lyttelton area. Some have formed private play groups. That’s fine if you are established but for new people to the area, also new first time parents you are less likely to find these groups and the parents are in danger of being isolated at home with young children. Given the dilemma the group finds itself in they wanted to tell their story so that the wider community would know their situation. “Lyttelton Plunket Playgroup has always been about so much more than just providing a different play experience for the little ones. Meeting other parents and caregivers who collectively have a wealth of knowledge is a wonderful patenting support. We’d like to be a strong group again, we just need a bit of community support ourselves so that we can continue,” said Marcia. How can the wider community help? “To make our playgroup experience more pleasurable we need more families to come along and we’d love to have a team of Super Grandies who can step in and help us” said Lindsay. If you have young children this is your invitation to join the group. If you are older, love children and maybe don’t have grandchildren this might be the perfect opportunity for you. With more support these mums can overcome some of the challenges they have been facing. Recently community worker Maureen Dellow-Jackson from Community House popped in to lend a hand and just that small bit of help made all the difference to the group. So this is a call to families and support people. If you would like to help the playgroup they would love to hear from you. Pop in and meet them. The playgroup runs Wednesdays 10.00am to 12noon at the Union Church in Winchester Street, Lyttelton. Alternatively call Lindsay 328 9575 or 021 038 6588 or Amanda 03 4200841 or 021 065 65941 and chat about what support you could offer.

Community Board News n Views Update from Chairperson Paula Smith Talk about thriving local democracy! So much is going on people may becoming confused about all the different draft documents we are being asked to provide community feedback on. Here is a summary as we understand it:
District Plan Review (Recovery Chapters) The District Plan is the book of rules about what we can and cannot do with our land. The rules both create opportunities and limit opportunities for land owners and occupiers. Once finalised, the District Plan will determine how our communities will work, look and feel into the future. Some key local issues will be decided within the District Plan draft which is currently open for submissions. These include: Permanent location of Lyttelton Farmers Market on London Street Continued commercial land use on the port side of Norwich Quay Building heights in Lyttelton Town Centre Building smaller units for older people in Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour Existing commercial zoning of the Godley House land If you have an opinion about any of these or any other matter, Christchurch City Council and the decision-making commissioners need your views NOW. Don’t worry about the planning-speak, just use your own words to say what you think about the issues which interest you most. Seize the day and have your say! Copies of the draft are available at Lyttelton and Diamond Harbour Libraries and can be looked at online in the CCC website. Submissions close on Wednesday 8 October. Submissions can be made on line or on forms available at the libraries.
Long Term Plan Projects for Diamond Harbour Pete Simpson of SPRIG (Stoddart Point Ideas Regeneration Group) recently presented their “Getting to the Point” document to the Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board. “Getting to the Point” wraps up all the consultation work done to date about the future of the Godley House site, Diamond Harbour village centre and beyond. It identifies a number of possible projects. The Community Board is now asking people from all the communities on the south side of the harbour to tell us which of the projects identified should be prioritised for funding in the CCC Long Term Plan. It is the Community Board's role to support and advocate for local projects in the Long Term Planning process. Given the Council's financial situation, we need to be very clear what work is most important to this community. Look out for the brochure in your letterbox or pick one up at the library, cafe or ferry. Fill out the form and get it back to us, or do the survey online. If you want more information about the options check out “Getting to the Point” on the Diamond Harbour website or come to one of the two drop in sessions to be held on Saturday 11 October, 4-5pm at the Stage Room and Tuesday 14 October, 7-8pm at the St Andrews Church hall.
Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan Submissions have now closed on the “Port Lyttelton Plan” and the Lyttelton Port Company is now working up the detail and modifying the technical reports which will inform development of the draft Recovery Plan being prepared by ECan. Important issues for our community are the ever increasing volume of port traffic on Norwich Quay, the proposal to relocate the Diamond Harbour ferry berth, and effects on the ecological health of the harbour. There will be another opportunity to express you opinion on these and any other matters later in the year when ECan publicly notifies the draft Recovery Plan.
Update from Paula Smith, Continued Facilities Rebuild and Repair Albion Square is nearly finished and steady progress is being made on Norman Kirk Pool and repairs to Trinity Hall and the Recreation Centre in Lyttelton. Council recently decided to fund a rebuild of the community centre in Governors Bay and the repairs to Stoddart Cottage are funded to be done this financial year. Bring it on!

Lyttelton District Plan Review Opinion Piece: Kris Herbert I may have missed it but I don't remember seeing anything in the Lyttelton Review about the district plan review. My personal opinion is that this is a huge fail on behalf of the council. There is zero publicity about it and only a very short period of time to offer a viewpoint. Last year, more than 600 people signed a petition to council saying that we needed the Town Centre Plan, in particular, the design guidelines, updated to allow for a broader scope of architecture that would reflect Lyttelton today to create a valuable and authentic heritage for the future. The review was promised to begin in November last year but has only just been released. I would wager most people don't even know it's happening - and the first submissions close on 8 October. It's quite hard to negotiate the changes being proposed via the council website, but perhaps the most significant is the proposed Design Guidelines http://proposeddistrictplan.ccc.govt.nz/ Section: 15.9 Appendices. In my opinion, this document does not reflect the only decent bit of consultation undertaken by the council post-earthquake as reflected in the Lyttelton Master Plan. To me, these new guidelines are disappointingly "safe" and way too prescriptive. I hope that you might publish these guidelines in the next issue and encourage people to have their say by either setting up an account on the city council website or else emailing dpreview@ccc.govt.nz. I recommend the latter because the online submission process is clunky, frustrating and extremely hard work! This is the consultation we asked for. It's so important that we don't miss this small window to define our future. It's a bit hard to see what else is up for consultation just at the moment, but the Port Noise section is up for review for residents who are affected by that. My view is that this zone stifles development by putting additional restrictions and requirements on building owners, along with forcing them to sign a document that limits civil liberties (for example, it prohibits building owners from supporting the removal of trucks off Norwich Quay). I think this zone should go and instead there should be suggestions on how to limit port noise when rebuilding.

Chapter 15 - Commercial
15.9.9 Design guidelines Lyttelton commercial Banks Peninsula zone 1.
Introduction a. Lyttelton town centre (as defined by the Commercial Banks Peninsula Zone) is the focal point of the town, providing retail and commercial facilities and the opportunity for community exchange and interaction. The town centre has a distinct character, with a clear change in nature between it and the residential and port zones. Lyttelton has been described as quirky and creative, with a mix of old and new development, but overall, the buildings create a sense of place because, although they are all different, they are unified by their similarity in scale, form and relationship to the street. b. The town centre was significantly damaged in the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, with the loss of many of the buildings that provided the heritage values and identity of the commercial heart. Despite the loss of buildings much of the physical framework for a vital and vibrant town centre remains in place.
2.
Puropse a. The purpose of these guidelines is to identify the physical framework and explain the principles of designing new buildings and spaces, or additions to existing buildings, to uphold and strengthen the enduring character of the town centre. These are the key principles to consider in designing any new development in accordance with the rules in order to achieve the objectives and policies contained in the District Plan. The intention of the guidelines is not to stifle flair or creativity, but by paying attention to and incorporating the aspects of Lyttelton town centre that make it special, the development can support, rather than diminish, its character and identity.
3.
How the design guidelines work a. The District Plan requires that the design of all new developments and external alterations to existing buildings within the Commercial Banks Peninsula Zone in Lyttelton is assessed through the resource consent process. All development proposals will be assessed against the principles in these guidelines, in conjunction with the assessment matters related to the Lyttelton Master Plan Overlay Area, as applicable.

Chapter 15 - Commercial 4.
Principle 1: Reflect the context a. Lyttelton has a special character due to its sloping topography, portside location, layout of streets and lots, and eclectic mix of buildings. The four primary streets (London, Oxford and Canterbury Streets and Norwich Quay) have different characteristics, but are all important in defining and reinforcing the formality of the town centre layout. The land in the middle of the block without street frontage, and the area around Donald Street, lend themselves to more informal designs. b. A thorough evaluation of the development site’s context and the site itself prior to the design process, including an understanding of the cultural heritage, will help identify the influences on and attributes of the site and its surroundings. c. Cultural heritage is an expression of the ways of living developed by a community and passed on from generation to generation and includes built and natural environment and artefacts, including customs, practices, places, objects, artistic expressions and values.
d.
Figure 1: A simple context analysis identifying influences on the development site.
e.
Reflecting the context means: i. Considering how the development builds on and contributes to Lyttelton’s cultural heritage in respect to the built and natural environment. ii. Recognising the site topography, particularly building to suit and take advantage of sloping ground. iii. Recognising that the streets and spaces within the town centre have differing character attributes. On Norwich Quay designs will need to take account of traffic and port noise. iv. Taking advantage of the views to the south and sunny aspect to the north. v. Incorporating midblock pedestrian lanes and outdoor spaces at the rear of sites. vi. Taking primary design references from the town centre character attributes rather than the surrounding residential buildings or the port.
f.

5.
The scale of a building is the product of its height and size as well as the design details. While the town centre buildings vary considerably in height and size they are all compatible in terms of scale. The width of lots has played a large part in establishing the existing scale of development. a. To keep in scale means: i. Maintaining the generally low built form up to 3 storeys, but considering options for higher feature elements.
ii.
Figure 3: Keeping in scale, through a combination of height, form, development gain and detailing
iii.
Considering the scale of neighbouring buildings and the overall scale of the street in which the building is to be located. London Street has an enclosed, intimate scale. Norwich Quay is a wider street, single sided for the majority of its length, with an open outlook to the port and beyond. As such taller buildings would be more appropriate in this streetscape than in London Street.
iv.
If building next to a character building, ensuring that its visual presence is not dominated or diminished by the new building or addition.
v.
If building a single storey building, ensuring that the building height is sufficiently high to maintain a similar scale of building on the street frontage to those buildings adjacent and the streetscape as a whole.
vi.
Breaking a large building into modules so that it reads as smaller joined buildings rather than one monolithic one. As a rule of thumb, modules of 4 to 12m in width on London Street and up to 20 metres elsewhere will reflect the historic subdivision pattern.

vii.
Figure 4: Creating vertical and horizontal modulation in a large development block
viii.
Designing the building with both horizontal and vertical divisions (articulation), particularly on elevations facing the street or adjacent to high use pedestrian lanes and spaces. Identifying each storey is important.
6.
Principle 3: Respect the street pattern and building form a. The grid pattern of wide straight streets is defined by building frontages along the street, which enclose the street space. The building forms are solid, rectilinear and positioned square to the street. b. Respecting the street pattern and building form means: i. Building right up to the street edge, particularly on London Street, Norwich Quay and the western side of Oxford Street, and across the whole of the street frontage, (except where access is required from Norwich Quay). ii. Figure 5: Reinforcing the corner aspect and increasing wayfinding for visitors to the town centre
Printed: 29/09/2014
Page 4 of 7
Chapter 15 - Commercial
iii.
If building on a corner site, reinforcing the corner and supporting the street form with a taller building of a minimum of two storeys in height.
iv.
Restricting irregular forms and shapes to feature elements or to internal block locations away from the primary street frontages.
v.
Keeping the building façade generally up to, but not beyond, the street boundary, except for verandas and small feature elements.
vi.
Using flat, symmetrically pitched, or hipped rooflines or parapets where buildings face the street.
vii.
Where there is an unbuilt frontage on Oxford Street or Canterbury Street, consider defining the street edge with a low wall.
7.
Principle 4: Address the street a. Buildings in Lyttelton address the street. The building frontages are interesting and encourage activity, creating a lively atmosphere. Good visibility from buildings to the street and publicly accessible areas allows for casual surveillance. Addressing the street means: i. Providing windows on all street elevations or elevations adjacent to pedestrian lanes and public spaces. On Canterbury and Oxford Streets windows will also be needed at lower ground level. ii. Providing highly legible pedestrian entrances accessed directly from the street. iii. On corner sites, wrapping the building around the corner and providing a high level of architectural detail particularly in respect to entrances and windows, and the quality of façade materials. iv. Incorporating generous shop windows on the ground floor along London Street. v. Avoiding building designs and layouts which create hidden, potentially unsafe alcoves and areas. vi. Ensuring universal access (access for all people), with particular attention being paid to sites with sloping frontages. vii. Where required, providing verandas that are in keeping with or complement adjacent verandas in respect to design, width and continuity. viii. Figure 6: Creating a street frontage with a high level of visual interest, including ground floor windows and entrances to the street
8.
Principle 5: Incorporate variety and pay attention to detail a. Lyttelton had a wide variety of buildings of different ages and styles which, as a collection,
Printed: 29/09/2014
Page 5 of 7
Chapter 15 - Commercial created an eclectic, vibrant townscape. Although diminished, this variety, and particularly the level of detail within the building facades, remains. There is the opportunity for creative design and to incorporate features and details which are characteristic of Lyttelton, or a contemporary take on them. Incorporating variety and paying attention to detail means: i. Distinguishing any new building from its neighbours and, if a large building, incorporating variety within the building design. ii. Avoiding being exactly the same height as the neighbouring building. iii. Avoiding repetition of the same design module along the street frontage, typically no more than a 12 metre run. iv. Figure 7: Creating interest and variety along the street frontage
i. Creating depth to the building surface through the utilisation of, for example, recessed windows and doorways, protruding window and door surrounds, textured cladding and applied decorative features. ii. Providing variation in building materials and colours. Avoid large expanses of the same material, colour or pattern. iii. Picking up on historical references and traditional features such as angled corners, high parapets with a curvilinear top, corner towers, volcanic stone walls or mural. iv. Orientating windows vertically to reinforce the fine grain of the town centre. v. Creating interest and contrast where building additions are proposed, through the choice of materials and detailing. vi. Integrating signage, where needed, within the design of the building to ensure that it does not visually dominate or detract from the architectural form and quality of the building. vii. Figure 8: Integrated signage within the building form and design features
Printed: 29/09/2014

1.
Principle 6: Promote sustainable building initiatives a. Lyttelton town centre has the opportunity to incorporate designs, technologies and systems that promote more sustainable practice from concept design, through to the construction, use and maintenance of buildings and spaces, which means: i. Using design and construction methods that minimise waste to landfill and cleanfill, and the implementation of environmental management systems to ensure other impacts are managed throughout the construction process. ii. Incorporating design and technologies that conserve energy and water, promote renewable energy, encourage recycling, achieve a high level of thermal comfort and support natural ventilation and natural light penetration. iii. Selecting materials that are durable, low maintenance, nontoxic and where possible, that have independent environmental certification and are from local and renewable sources. iv. Providing facilities that encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport, including high quality pedestrian access, showers, change facilities, storage and bicycle racks for staff and visitors. v. Designing for outdoor comfort by creating pleasant microclimates and inviting, sheltered, sunny, spaces such as courtyards or balconies using verandas, planting or screens to help moderate temperature and wind. vi. mproving ecology and stormwater management on the site through the provision of rain gardens, landscaping, pot plants or living roofs and walls.

Albion Square, Lyttelton, Progress Report, No 7 Dated 26th September 2014 Preamble & Project objectives Purpose of this document is to provide an update on the Redevelopment of the public square at 44 London Street, Lyttelton. The Lyttelton/Mt Herbert Community Board, the local community and the Christchurch City Council are working together to develop a civic square in Lyttelton. The provision of a new civic square is one of the key actions (N1, p59) in the Lyttelton Master Plan.
Progress Progress on the site is nearing completion and looking great. HEB and their sub contractors are currently focusing on the upper terrace works particular around on and around the cenotaph. Lower terrace paving essentially complete and London Street footpath remediation schedule to commence over the next fortnight. Painting to the steel pergolas underway and on programme to complete shortly. Planting to the lower terrace completed also with some help from the two Lyttelton Schools campus, see photos below. The form work for the Waharoa plinths is formed and about to be poured. Cenotaph also achieved their programmed milestone, with the last stone (top capping stone) placed yesterday and pointing completed. Associated heritage lighting noted as completed also. Cenotaph scaffolding expected to be removed from Monday 29th September and this will allow the plinth to be plaster and then paving around the cenotaph to be completed. The slide, water pump completed and the koru designed water feature due on site over the next week. Seatings has been progressively installed and kept art work due to be installed over the next fortnight. The Waharoa timber supply now resolved and due in Lyttelton in October, then the process of carving will be underway. Latest advice from the artist is that the carving will take about 23 months with installation on site circa mid to late January 2015. With regards to formal opening ceremonies, the organising committee is currently working towards the 8th November 2014 date. The next level of detail is currently being worked through. Anticipated contract completion date on schedule for late October 2014 Christchurch City Council

WWI troops embarkation centenary commemoration – 24 September 2014 On Wednesday LPC supported the Lyttelton RSA’s organisation of the centenary of the Canterbury Regiment departure from Lyttelton on board the SS Tahiti and Athenic – headed for Wellington, then Egypt and finally Gallipoli.
The commemoration was held beside Stark’s slipway on the western side of the Port. The sun shone bright for the 80 people who attended the ceremony. Speeches were given by the President of the Christchurch Memorial RSA, Paul Monk and prayers were led by Vicar of the Holy Trinity Parish Reverend Neil Struthers. They all acknowledged the great sacrifice these young men made, as well as acknowledging the grief of those left behind. 100 years ago, troops of young men left our Port – destination unknown. Sons, brothers, fathers, husbands, nephews, buddies and sweethearts were farewelled from No.3 Wharf - many of whom did not make it home. These men went to war for our country and for our future.
Children from Lyttelton Primary School sang the national anthem and Ode to the Fallen was read by members of the 2/4 Battalion Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible.
The troops rode from Sockburn Camp to Port Lyttelton prior to embarking on transport ships bound for service in the First World War (1914-1918). They are pictured crossing the Heathcote Bridge, Ferry Road, on the way to Sumner and Lyttelton

We received a lovely email last week following the WWI commemoration: “This afternoon I played the Last Post and Reveille at the service at the port to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the first troop ships from Canterbury heading off to war. I took my 86 year old mother, who wanted to see and hear me playing. I parked my car in a position so that she could sit there in comfort, but unfortunately another vehicle arrived and obscured her view. One of your staff noticed her predicament and then assisted her to walk over to join the people who had arrived for the ceremony. Then, he went off and found a comfortable chair for her to sit in. My mother and I both appreciate the generous concern of that person, and we thank him again through you as we did this afternoon. My mother lived in Lyttelton as child and I have memories of visits to my grandparent‟s house at the top of Hawkhurst Road, whose cottage is still there, and of the Blue Star ships in the port in those days. Today was a very special time for her, as her father was also a soldier in WW1.”

Staff Vacancy
In the Spotlight Every couple of weeks, we will bring you a staff profile - this week we talk with Jamie Wilson, Foreman Stevedore
Jamie, how long have you worked at LPC? I‟ve worked at the Port since 1980 starting as Watersider for the Waterfront Industry Commission. When that organisation ceased, I worked directly for LPC for 3 years until 1992, when I became a part-time A-Grade Cargo Handler. I went full-time again in 2000, in 2001 becoming a Container Crane Driver and temporary foreman. In 2011 I became a full time Foreman Stevedore. I‟ve also been a Trainer for straddles and other operations, involved in ship crane operations, and as a hatchman. So you’ve been with the Port for 34 years – what are some of your favourite memories?
Container Crane Driver
Operating a steam winch with my father (the old hands will know these - very fast)

If you don‟t report an unsafe operation, the next person who comes along won‟t have benefitted from your raised alarm.
Wine winner This week‟s wine winner is: Ben Gallagher, Logistics Officer. Please contact reception on ext 0 to claim your prize.
As a Foreman Stevedore, what does your day consist of? As a ship call Foreman, we start early - we come in and check out the day‟s work before the shift starts; identify any issues such as out of gauge /over-height boxes (containers), work out the best way to load or unload those boxes; check out ship‟s workbooks any problems before we start; look at ships last visit re safety and assess any other concerns of the vessel. When the shift starts, we share possible concerns with the ship‟s labour in the Toolbox Talk at the start of the shift. We check the vessel‟s access. The most important part of my job is to make sure our people are safe; and go home to their family at the end of the shift. What do you like most about your job? The view. Look at my office window! Every day you come into work with a different bunch of guys that are all great to work with. What do you do outside of work? I‟m currently restoring my old school BMW motorbike (into a Bobber) I can‟t wait to ride it again. Two years ago I was involved in a head-on crash with a truck during our Band of Brothers trip and broke my leg in four places. Also, some other bits the boys know what. I am looking forward to riding with the Band of Brothers next year. I‟m also working at a total rebuild of my 6mt alloy boat, it needs to be up and running for Christmas!! Anything else should we know?? I‟m married and have three sons: Sean 17, Scott 20 and Cameron 22; I also have two Siberian huskies. Although – the less that‟s known about me, the better!

MEDIA RELEASE The largest concrete pour at Lyttelton Port since the early 1990’s started this morning (2 October) at Cashin Quay 2 wharf. It is due to finish later today.
375 cubic metres of concrete is being poured by 75 trucks to form the first 11 metres of the new Cashin Quay 2 wharf deck at the Container Terminal. The concrete area being poured today will be one metre thick and 34 metres wide.
The formwork which contains the concrete will be removed in seven days, with the concrete taking about 28 days to fully cure.
Cashin Quay 2 wharf will be delivered in stages with the aim of completing the first 57 metre section by mid-December 2014, allowing increased berthing options.
When the rebuild of the wharf is finished in the last quarter of 2015 it will be 230 metres long and be a deeper, stronger and more resilient structure. “Once complete, the Cashin Quay 2 wharf will provide significantly increased capacity for the Terminal and boost berth capacity,” said Peter Davie LPC Chief Executive. “This rebuild is a key project for the Port and will increase operational efficiency. “It is also an important step in expanding the Port to meet demands for future growth and enhance customer service levels.”
Piling should be completed this week for the first 57 metres of the wharf, with 71 piles in this first section driven to an approximate depth of 60 metres into the harbour bed. It takes about one and half days to drive one pile into the sea bed. In total, 255 piles will be driven into the harbour bed for the new Cashin Quay 2 wharf.

SCIRT: Brittan Terrace Update Fulton Hogan is beginning work on the retaining wall at the intersection of Brittan Terrace, Cressy Terrace and Voelas Road. The work was originally put on hold due to the extent of the damage being worse than expect and required further redesign. Work is beginning on Monday 22 September for approximately two months. For safety reasons Cressy Terrace will be closed from 4 Cressy Terrace to the intersection of Brittan Terrace, Cressy Terrace and Voelas Road. Pedestrian and cyclists access will be available. Temporary traffic lights will be used along Brittan Terrace to keep it open to two way traffic. Traffic lights further up on Brittan Terrace will also remain. This is due to the wet weather causing a slip outside 30 Brittan Terrace. This section of the wall is now getting redesigned. We want to thank the Lyttelton residents for their continued support and patients during our repair work. We know this is a significant detour for you all and will complete the work as quickly as we can! Article: SCIRT Media Release, with thanks

At Home with the Grubbs Heritage Week: Grubb Cottage Open Saturday 18, 19, 25, 26 October In conjunction with the Grubb Cottage Trust, Lyttelton Museum will display items from Lyttelton’s past which are connected to the everyday life of the Grubb family, who lived in the house from 1851 to 1961. The Grubbs have a rich history. John Grubb was a shipbuilder, his wife Mary and their three daughters Mary, Jean and Janet arrived on the Charlotte Jane in 1850, and his son James Grubb later became mayor of Lyttelton in 1902. From 11.00am to 11.20am on these days, Michael Williams, chair of the Grubb Cottage Heritage Trust, will present a short speech on the history of Mr Grubb, his family, their cottage and their contributions to early Canterbury, starting with building the first jetty to greet the first four ships. Built in 1851, Grubb Cottage is the oldest surviving domestic dwelling in Lyttelton and amongst the earliest colonial homes in Canterbury. The cottage vividly mirrors the different eras of settlement from the days before the first four ships arrived to the growth of Lyttelton as Canterbury’s front door during the 1860s and 1870s.

Diamond Harbour Writers Group September Author: Charlotte McCoy IN AN EGGSHELL We were gifted some chickens Shaken up by The Quake. We wanted some eggs And they needed a break. We made them a coop And lined it with straw. It had a wee perch And a welcoming door. The weeks went by, We waited and waited, But rarely an egg We felt we’d been cheated. We checked and we checked In the comfortable coop. They pecked and they pecked But they never bore fruit. Then some months later While out in the garden A major discovery Granted them Pardon. A whole stash of treasure Was stored in the hedge! Our chickens had laid us A bounty of eggs! We said they were no good But we were so wrong They were grateful for refuge And laid all along. Which just goes to show Nothing runs by the book The answer is out there You just have to look. Charlotte McCoy

Lyttelton Harbour Fruit n Vege Collective New Project Initiated by Lyttelton Harbour Timebank member Jill Larking, and working in partnership with Lyttelton’s Community House, a Fruit and Vegetable Collective has come to Lyttelton.
History In Christchurch the Fruit and Vegetable Co-op began in October 2011 in the Eastern suburbs to enable families and whānau to buy affordable seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables. It continues to run successfully all over Christchurch and now over 1,500 packs are sold every week! The Fruit and Veggie Co-op is a partnership between Christchurch Cathedral, many of the wonderful communities in Christchurch, and Community and Public Health. Anyone can join – as an individual, with your family/ whānau, church, community group, workplace, gym, or motorcycle club.
How it works in general. You pay just $12 for each pack - 1 bag of fruit and 1 bag of vegetables (non organic). You pay one week in advance and there is no joining fee. The contents of the packs vary each week depending on what is in season. You can buy more than one pack at a time – there is no limit. And you don’t need to buy every week. You can buy a pack for others like your parents, children, neighbours, or even your best friend. You can also sponsor a pack for a family in need. Each pack includes a recipe idea on how to use the fruit or vegetables in the pack, and some health information.
How it will work in Lyttelton. The Lyttelton Harbour Timebank and Community House are working together to bring this to Lyttelton. A weekly run by volunteers with either the Community House van or the Project Lyttelton truck to a distribution centre in Aranui will bring the ordered bags back to Lyttelton. Your ordered bags can be collected from our volunteers at the pick up point at the Union Church Hall in Winchester Street every Wednesday between 12.30 and 2.30pm.
To participate all you need to do is register. Registrations can be made at the vegetable collection point [Wednesdays from 12.30pm to 2.30pm at the Union Church Hall on Winchester Street, Lyttelton]. When you sign up you also pay by cash or cheque for your bag a week in advance. This means if you come this week to register, your first delivery will be the following Wednesday. At the end of each Wednesday we’ll ring through the orders for the following week.
Currently Jill has 85 families registered. This project is also available for people in Governors Bay and Diamond Harbour. All you will need to do is figure out how to get the bags from Lyttelton to your communities. Timecredits can be earned for any volunteer work done to support this project.

Lyttelton Primary School Te Kura Tuatahi o Ōhinehou PO Box 85, Lyttelton: Phone 03 929 0588 Newsletter from your Board of Trustees – 25 September 2014 To our staff, families, caregivers and whanau, As we come to the end of another term, your Board of Trustees would like to give you an update on some Board matters. We’d like to acknowledge all the hard work everyone has put into this term, from the kids to the staff and to the parents and, in particular, those that contributed to the vision and values through the Padlet. We are still very much learning to be one school, a challenging task at the best of times but one we think we are all up to – the benefits will echo through the next year and into our new buildings, and beyond. We pay particular tribute to our principal, Diana, and the hard work she has been doing in a very challenging environment. Many will never fully know how much effort she puts into the school. In this newsletter we’ll cover the following topics:
Mid-year progress results Update on the new school buildings Board Training and a new strategic plan ULearn 2014 Teacher Conference Voluntary school donations
Mid-year Progress Results As many of you will know, the Ministry of Education requires that we report on our student achievement levels against the national standards. The Board was recently presented with our midyear progress results for reading, writing and mathematics which were delayed due to issues with the Ministry of Education reporting systems. Because we are a relatively small school, we cannot present all those results as we must ensure confidentiality for all our students. However, we would like to present the results across the whole school in those areas. Please note that the results for below and well below standard been grouped together in order to prevent any individuals from being identified.

The Board is pleased with these results overall and are ensuring that any issues arising from these results are being addressed directly. Our teachers are working diligently to ensure that all children are achieving to their highest potential and individual plans have been put into place to raise all students’ levels of achievement. Please keep in mind that these are mid-year results and changes are expected in the final year results. Update on the New School Buildings While it may still appear that little is happening on the building site, progress is being made. Here’s an overview of where things are at: Progress to date:
The architects are finalising the detailed design drawings which will be going in for consent in November; Archaeological authority has been granted, meaning that we have the go ahead to build on the site; Negotiations between the Ministry of Education, the New Zealand Heritage Trust and the Christchurch City Council have concluded that a 3.5 m wide opening through the gaol wall will allow us direct access on to the Grassy; We have had confirmation that the new school will have the provision for two technology spaces to future proof the school design. The Ministry is currently working with the education sector to plan for the future provision of year 7 and 8 technology. The outcome of this work is not likely to be known until the end of the 2014 school year; Work continues on retaining walls, particularly on the steep loess slopes. A new fly catch fence is currently being constructed.
Moving Forward:
Construction of the terraces against the gaol wall are programmed to start in October; Siteworks will begin October; Construction of the new buildings begins in January.
We are awaiting an announcement from the Ministry of Education on any changes to the opening date of the new school. Board Training and a New Strategic Plan Over the past weekend, the Board met for a weekend retreat with a professional trainer and facilitator. As we are a new board with new aims, we felt that it was crucial that we come together
for an extended time to focus on some of our key responsibilities. The aim of the retreat was to receive some training to make us a better board as well as to work on our strategic plan for the new school. This is an important step in our becoming a new school and will set the scene for how learning happens in our place. We are very excited about the vision and strategic goals, which is based on our own vision as well as upon all the valuable feedback we have received from our families. We look forward to presenting the plan to you early in Term 4. Teacher Conference In the second week of the school holidays, our teachers will be taking time out of their own nonteaching time to attend the ULearn 2014 conference in Rotorua. As outlined on the conference’s webpage, it is: “A professional learning and development opportunity that focuses on modern learning and teaching practices, environments, and uses of digital technologies to:
deepen educators' understanding of the latest developments in pedagogy, curriculum and practice create flexible learning spaces that cater for personalised, collaborative and creative learning help delegates align their use of technology with effective pedagogy, and get the most out of every tool they use. (Source: http://events.core-ed.org/ulearn)
We consider this a great opportunity for our staff’s professional development as we work towards the new challenges of modern learning practice. Voluntary School Donations It has been brought to our attention that there may be confusion around the nature of voluntary school donations. To be clear at the outset, our policies around donations are directly in line with the Ministry guidelines as set out here: http://www.minedu.govt.nz/NZEducation/EducationPolicies/Schools/PublicationsAndResources/Circ ulars/2013/Circular201306.aspx We believe that school donations are just that - voluntary rather than compulsory - and that parents have the right to choose how much they would like to contribute to donations. Sadly, it is difficult to get around the fact that school donations are a necessary reality of the state school system. As a board we must manage our funds wisely with a focus on student achievement while also providing valuable learning experiences for our students. By necessity, we must often rely on these donations to provide that rich set of experiences on and off school grounds. Please feel free to contact Diana if you would like to discuss this further. A Final Note We recently came across a bumper sticker that read, “Get Involved: the world is run by people who turn up.” Nowhere is that more true than at your local school. As we learn to become a new school, we need to hear from you about the things we’re doing right and the things we’re not. Diana is the best person to talk to in that respect. It’s sometimes said that it takes a village to raise a child; in Lyttelton it’s going to take all of us to raise the new school. We hope that you and your children enjoy the school holidays and we look forward to working with you in Term 4. On behalf of the Lyttelton Primary School Board of Trustees, Crile Doscher

Otamahua Quail Island Ecological Restoration Trust Information / Education Day
Penguins that bring fertiliser from the sea to the land? Bellbirds that pollinate flowers, and later eat the fruit – dispersing seed far from the parent tree, unconsciously ensuring their own future food source? Fantails that feast on flying insects? Grey warblers that may raise a shining cuckoo chick instead of their own? Lizards that lick nectar, weta that hide in crannies by day and wander the treetops by night, microbes that bring the soil to life – this island is full of stories. What are the pieces of the puzzle – how did they come to be there – how do they work together – how did some of them go missing, and what can we do to repair the puzzle and fill the gaps? New Zealand’s native plants, birds, reptiles, invertebrates are distinctive, having evolved together, undisturbed by humans and other land mammals until recent times. The communities they form in every part of the country are adapted to the particular features of each location. Come for an educational field day to Otamahua / Quail Island to discover what’s so special about this island and wider Banks Peninsula – past, present and future.
Sunday 2nd November – 9am to 4.30pm (ferry times to be confirmed) Bookings essential – limited to 30 places $25 registration – (includes ferry) To register: Email c.t.troup@xtra.co.nz or phone Tina 328 8622
Panel: Colin Meurk, Mike Bowie, Jason Butt, James Ross, Ian McLennan, Tina Troup and maybe Marieke Lettink - who will share their collective knowledge of Banks Peninsula biodiversity and ecology – across a range of habitats, from the angle of plants, birds, invertebrates, lizards, mammalian pests, invasive plants, ecological processes, restoration strategies, Restoration Trust management, and more!
We will walk around Otamahua / Quail Island stopping at a variety of sites and habitat types to see examples of topics under discussion. Plenty of opportunity for questions. Moderate fitness required for a 2hour slow walk on gentle hill country.
Bring (in daypack): lunch and snacks, water bottle, strong walking footwear, sunhat, sunscreen, wind/rain protective clothing for changeable weather (the island can be exposed to cold wind). A charged cellphone is useful. If desired, bring bathing gear for optional swim at the end of the day. Available on the island – toilet, water, shelter.

Ingredients 3 cups dry chickpeas or canned, boiled chickpeas (if you want to have these chickpea patties ready in 30 minutes, then you should use canned chickpeas. If you’ll use dry chickpeas, you have to soak them overnight and boil them for at least two hours) 1 large potato, boiled and mashed 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped 1 cup leek, chopped 1 onion, diced 1/3 cup black olives, sliced 5 Tbsps chickpea flour, or any other type of flour or breadcrumbs 1 tsp sweet paprika salt and pepper, to taste 1 Tbsp tahini paste + more for sauce oil (3-4 Tbsps) for frying
InstrucƟons Add boiled chickpeas in the food processor and blend well unƟl they have a paste-like consistency. Put them in a large bowl and blend in all the other ingredients, except oil. If the composiƟon is too moist, add more chickpea flour. The paƫes should be very easy to form.Heat some oil in a non-sƟck frying pan. Make the paƫes – 1 Tbsps per paƩy.Fry them 1-2 minutes on each side. AlternaƟvely, you can bake them. Put the paƫes in a greased oven tray. Bake 15 minutes on each side. Put the falafels on a paper towel, to absorb all excess oil.
