Otago University associate geography professor Mike Hilton said if the 1.2km seawall is not rebuilt within 10 years or so, there will be an increased risk of exposure to waves coming over the wall. Prof Hilton has examined a report on the wall from engineering consultant, Jacobs, which found there are 19 points along the wall where repairs are required. However, Prof Hilton said there is no immediate danger. “In the next few years, the storm surge on that coast is not particularly large. However, when you look beyond the short-term to the medium-term, those storms are going to get significantly larger and will have a greater impact because the sea level will be higher,” he said. •Turn to page 4 Committee member Russell Dalzell said the intersection of Main South and Browns Rds has been concerning locals for years. “It’s a real bottleneck intersection. Anybody travelling from the southern end to the northern end has to cross there,” he said. “There’s some speed signs right as you come through 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 living, 2 car garaging.

Angela and Phillip Eberhard have recently started a business named Lava Scooters. They have applied to the district council to operate 50 e-scooters from 7-11am, seven days a week in Rolleston, Lincoln and Prebbleton. The application includes the possibility of expanding to 200 scooters in the future if successful and allowed. Mrs Eberhard said they are excited to be entering the market. “Being local and knowing this community and wanting to be a part of that is exciting,” she said. “Lime is big and that’s probably more of a risk for us but I think working and living in this area makes it more enjoyable and we’re just hoping the community will get behind us.” There are some safety features that se them apart from Lime, Mrs Eberhard said. •Turn to page 4 You’re home.
