Woolston Village revamp makes steady progress

Eels and whitebait will be wriggling across Woolston Village, etched into new pavers to illustrate the cultural significance of the area.

Eels and whitebait will be wriggling across Woolston Village, etched into new pavers to illustrate the cultural significance of the area.

The sandblasted pavers are integral to a multimillion-dollar upgrade for the community village.

The tuna (eel) and īnaka (whitebait) pavers will sit at intersections where the side streets run towards the Heathcote River.

Tuna and īnaka live in the Heathcote River, which is also home to īnaka spawning sites.

Several bluestone pavers will also represent Woolston’s heritage, acknowledging those buildings lost during the 2010-2011 earthquakes.

Christchurch City Council’s Ferry Road Suburban Master Plan aims to revitalise the village while retaining the industrial character of the 150-year-old area.

The project – led by contractor Citycare – runs along Ferry Rd from Portman St to St Anne’s School. It includes decorative pavers, mini plazas, wider paths and cycle lanes, and more trees and plants.

Contractors have also relined the underground wastewater pipes along the main road, using the less disruptive spiral lining method, rather than having to dig a big trench to replace the pipes. All the wastewater work is now complete.

Work at the site will shut down for four weeks from early December until early January.

The Supreme Court has unanimously dismissed an appeal by government insurer Southern Response to stop two Cantabrians' legal action against them to considered be representative of 3000 other similar claimants.

Respondents Brendan and Colleen Ross said that Southern Response had left them $100,000 out of pocket and the Supreme Court made the landmark decision to uphold their case on an opt-out basis, which allowed the other claimants to be represented in legal proceedings.

The decision means that if the government pays out in one case, they must pay out to the 3000 others, lawyers estimate this to cost the taxpayer $5 million.

A major international sailing event attracting a global broadcast audience estimated at quarter of a billion viewers is on the cusp of being confirmed for Lyttelton Harbour in Christchurch.

The hugely popular SailGP (grand prix) series, featuring a new Kiwi team launched by Olympic and world champion sailors Peter Burling and Blair Tuke, could hit the Lyttelton waters in January 2022.

The races feature foiling catamarans, which can hit speeds of up to 50 knots and have hydrofoils to lift their hulls above the water to reduce drag.

Loren Heaphy, destination and attraction manager at ChristchurchNZ, the city's economic development and promotional agency, confirmed negotiations to host the event were taking place.

What are your thoughts on events like this potentially coming to Lyttelton?
