'Cashmere Hills' development in Cracroft
(Letter via Chch Adventure Park, 200317) To Whom It May Concern,
As we (CCL) begin developing the Cashmere Hills, we are dedicated to being a ‘partner’ with the residents in the surrounding area(s). We have come into your backyards, not to disrupt your lifestyles, but to develop an area of the outer city in an appealing and well planned manner. In our planning, we have considered the development with you all in mind. We are not here to take as much land as possible and make a conglomerate of row-by-row lots that the valley itself would find disheartening. Yet, we have carefully and methodically planned this development to retain the beauty and iconic natural landscape of the valley. Once completed approximately 100 hectares of land will be made available for use to the wider community through vesting to Christchurch City Council.
Our working hours of consent are Monday – Friday 7am to 6pm. We had consent to start at 7am on Saturday, however we thought that was unreasonable and unfair to the surrounding residents. Our new consent is from 8am – 2:30pm Saturdays…a later start and an early finish to allow residents to enjoy their Saturdays.
As we move forward with the development, we are dedicated to being as transparent with everyone as possible. Once our site office (150 meters in from the CAP entrance) is complete, we are going to have an information-BBQ regarding the development on a Saturday afternoon (date still to be determined). As we continue with the development we will send out email blasts to everyone in the area with any major changes to our ongoing work. With that being said please see the following list as to what our immediate plans are in getting construction underway.
Immediate Action:
Cleaning up the entrance (200 meters in) from Worsleys Rd. This includes chip sealing the road, to eliminate dust and have a more appealing look.
Giving the old grubby fence running parallel to the entrance road a facelift.
Eliminating all the weeds and rubbish along this section.
Completing our site office in an eye engaging fashion. This includes a parking lot for our sales office and employees. We will not be parking on Worsleys Rd.
Placing a STOP sign and road markings at the exit onto Worsleys Rd – We have witnessed vehicles at a high rate of speed entering Worsleys Rd. For a neighborhood with families and children this is not acceptable.
Dust Control – Water truck within open earthworks. Remediation of the non-sealed CAP road to mitigate dust issues. www.environ...
Livestock pens to be removed at the CAP entrance, once all livestock is off site…early April sometime.
Once the land dries up from this downpour we’ve had, we plan on starting our earthworks on Stage 1.
*No earthworks will be undertaken during the “wet period” over winter.
We have also attached an artist’s Impression of the final development of lots.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Hamish Wright – 027 566 9698

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
Buses can be a relaxing way to get home if you have a seat and enough space. However, it can be off-putting when someone is taking a phone call next to you.

Paddy Gower seeks ‘bloody great Cantab’
The Kiwi journalist drilling deep into the country’s biggest issues is on a mission to find the local greats.
Paddy Gower is looking for the Good Kiwi in every region to feature in his show, The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour.
To nominate a Good Kiwi, email reporters@press.co.nz with the name and a description of why your nominee should win. You an also share the local issues you think Paddy needs to tackle in the comments below.
It could be the woman whose knitting circle has made 3800 items for victims of domestic violence, the guy running the length of Aotearoa for mental health, or the woman with terminal cancer who spends her time campaigning to raise awareness and save lives.
“Basically I am looking for ... a bloody great Cantab who just gets on and gets things done. The criteria is somebody who has a positive attitude and makes the community a better place," Gower said.
“I will give this person the 'Big Ups' they deserve, and the community can celebrate them with me.”
A Good Kiwi will feature in each of Gower’s live shows in 14 centres through November and December. He will name the Cantabrian Good Kiwi at his Christchurch show on the evening of Friday, November 22, at St Margaret’s College.
The F@#$ing News - Paddy Gower Live on Tour is a sort of book tour, sort of stand-up comedy, some journalistic yarns and memoir, and some motivational speaking - with a fair bit of local in each show.
Gower also wants to know about topics of interest in the region.
“I’m ... going to be taking on a big issue facing Canterbury and offering up solutions.”
A stinky suburb, a neighbourhood needing a round-about or a cathedral in disrepair - “I will make your views count”, he said.
“I'm touring the nation to spread positivity, optimism and good vibes.”
