THERE WILL be a new boat<br />

shed in Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> by late July.<br />

Construction on Christchurch<br />

Yacht Club’s new boat shed in<br />

Moncks <strong>Bay</strong> started two weeks<br />

ago and it expected to take four<br />

months.<br />

Caissons<br />

(chambers<br />

used for underwater<br />

construction)<br />

for<br />

the roadside<br />

piles have been<br />

put into the<br />

seabed, filled<br />

Trevor Kite<br />

with concrete and had a steel<br />

pile embedded inside each one.<br />

And last week, the seaward<br />

piles were driven into the seabed.<br />

The roadside piles are embedded<br />

between 1.5m and 2.5m into<br />

the boulder and mud seabed.<br />

The previous structure was<br />

built on jetted wooden piles<br />

about 0.5m deep, but the new<br />

one has fewer steel piles disturbing<br />

the seabed carrying greater<br />

spans of decking.<br />

CYC shed and boardwalk<br />

project convener Trevor Kite<br />

said work is expected to take<br />

four months.<br />

“After that stage the public<br />

will have access to an open deck<br />

area with two 4m wide ramps to<br />

autumn is here but the<br />

market is not cooling!<br />

The weather may be cooling but the property market in the seaside<br />

suburbs certainly isn’t!<br />

PROGRESS: Piles for the Christchurch Yacht Club’s new boat shed have been constructed in<br />

Moncks <strong>Bay</strong>. Below – The old building which was destroyed in the February 22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

the seabed. When funds become<br />

available the club will place a<br />

boat shed onto the deck.”<br />

The original boat shed was<br />

demolished in June 2011, after<br />

suffering damage in the February<br />

22, 2011, earthquake.<br />

Its rebuild has been complicated<br />

by several factors, including<br />

the Coastal Pathway.<br />

The deck design includes a<br />

new 4m wide footpath along its<br />

full length which will become<br />

part of the pathway.<br />

“The city council will connect<br />

the pathway to this deck at each<br />

GRENADIER<br />

Licensed Sales Consultant REAA 2008<br />

end and the existing shingle<br />

track then becomes available for<br />

road widening or landscaping as<br />

they see fit,” Mr Kite said.<br />

The new $1.174 million building<br />

is about 5m longer and 1m<br />

wider than the previous one.<br />

“This is to provide toilet and<br />

changing room facilities and to<br />

improve storage of longer boats.”<br />

Some $240,000 in funding has<br />

come from the city council and<br />

$327,595 from the Coastal Pathway<br />

project, which will contribute<br />

to the extra costs associated<br />

with providing for the pathway.<br />

The remainder has come from<br />

grants the club has raised.<br />

“The club’s plan is for a<br />

combined boat shed, deck<br />

and boardwalk that has been<br />

repositioned seaward to make<br />

room for the 4m-wide walkway<br />

that the Coastal Pathway Group<br />

sort,” said Mr Kite.<br />

WAITING: The Safer Sumner<br />

group wants to install security<br />

cameras opposite the surf life<br />

saving club.<br />

cameras on hold<br />

But board chairwoman Sally<br />

Buck said last week no-one from<br />

Safer Sumner had been in touch<br />

in the two months since then.<br />

Group spokeswoman Kath<br />

Preston said she was unsure about<br />

who to contact but has since spoken<br />

to the Sumner<br />

Community Residents’<br />

Association<br />

about the matter.<br />

SCRA manager<br />

Liza Sparrow confirmed<br />

they had<br />

Sally Buck<br />

been in touch with<br />

city council staff<br />

and were waiting for a date and<br />

time to present the plans for the<br />

cameras to the community board.<br />

The October 24 knife-point<br />

invasion of hairdresser Emely van<br />

Ras’ Scarborough home prompted<br />

the formation of the group,<br />

which intended to “put together a<br />

strategy and purchase and install<br />

surveillance equipment” in Sumner<br />

village.<br />
