Community champion’s heartfelt thank you to wife 

‘She was my partner in crime’ 

BY KEES CHALMERS 

JIM LILLEY has lived one very 

busy life. 

The Christchurch RSA president 

has been a police officer, 

co-established Marine Watch 

and was a long-time Coastguard 

Canterbury volunteer. 

He also fundraises for the 

Cancer Society and trains bus 

drivers. 

And he credits one person – 

his late wife Cath (inset). 

“I couldn’t have done half 

of what I’ve done without her 

support,” he said. 

Cath passed away in 2008 

aged 44, following an eightmonth 

battle with breast 

cancer. 

“She was my partner in 

crime for a lot of the stuff I 

did,” Lilley said. 

Lilley’s work in the community 

was recognised at the 

weekend in the King’s Birthday 

Honours list. 

The 72-year-old was 

inducted as a member of the 

New Zealand Order of Merit 

for services to conservation 

and the community. 

Lilley was surprised and 

humbled – and said a large 

part of the award is for Cath. 

“It’s the whanau that supports 

the person. It’s as much 

theirs as it is the person that’s 

done it,” he said.

The Chemist 

by A. A. Dhand 

Don’t miss this incredible adrenaline-filled thriller from the 

author of the DI Harry Virdee novels, now a major BBC TV 

drama. 

Local pharmacist and pillar of the community, Idris Khan, 

spends his days doling out methadone to the hundreds of 

addicts in his care. They trust Idris with their secrets, and 

so he knows more than his mild manner suggests. So when 

his childhood sweetheart, Rebecca, doesn’t turn up for her 

daily methadone dose, Idris is worried. Worried enough to go 

looking for her in the most deprived area of Leeds, alone. 

The mess Idris finds catapults him into the middle of a turf 

war between the two most powerful drug cartels in Yorkshire. 

Now, he must use every bit of intelligence and cunning he has 

to keep those he loves safe.

Back to drawing board for road 


Richmond Hill Rd residents 

continue to have mixed views 

over how to fix a contentious 

part of the road. 

The issue is before the 

Waihoro Spreydon-Cashmere- 

Heathcote Community Board 

– seven years after a bid for a 

footpath went unanswered. 

The speed limit was then 

changed to 40km/h from 

50km/h and signs were put up, 

but resident John Harcourt said 

it has not been enough. 

"It's just hopeless. You see 

how there's no channel, there's 

no curve. And I'm thinking, 

we've been here for 15 years. 

Parking here has been something 

they should have worked 

out years ago,” he said. 

Harcourt said the footpath is 

too narrow and people go too 

fast. Slowing down would be a 

simple solution. 

There have been calls to put 

in a footpath since 2018, but 

there has been no movement on 

that front. 

The issue was picked up again 

last year when residents from 

further up the hill expressed 

concerns there was not enough 

space to drive through without 

slowing down. They want parking 

to be removed. 

However, the Richmond Hill 

Residents Association does not 

want to see parking removed 

from the road. 

The association told a 

Richmond Hill Rd resident, John Harcourt, says cars go too fast on the tight stretch 

of road. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

community board workshop 

last week: "Removing any 

historical and long used 

parking from a very steep hill 

road, that is not serviced by 

public transport, is extremely 

significant. 

"Our day to day lives would 

become unnecessarily more 

difficult.” 

A resident yesterday told Bay 

Harbour News said "it's bullsh.t 

mate,” when asked about a call 

to add yellow lines outside his 

house. 

The association also questioned 

at the workshop the 

differences in proposed work 

done further up the hill on 

70 – 102 Richmond Hill Rd for 

improved pedestrian safety 

costing about $350,000 compared 

to the $2200 in the 

original proposed plan for the 

road between addresses 54–70. 

"The comparisons, imbalance 

and the differences in approach 

is just mind blowing,” said the 

association. 

City council staff presented 

options including marked 

parking bays, pedestrian 

access, speed management and 

signage,” at the workshop. 

"What staff presented was an 

option that keeps some footpath 

and parking which is what 

locals want, but its also safe 

and slows down traffic coming 

down the hill,” said community 

board member and mayoral 

candidate, Sara Templeton. 

“It’s difficult to find a balance, 

but we are determined to find 

it.” 

The board will do a site visit 

with city council staff and 

residents. From there a report 

which will be put to the board 

for a decision. 

The issue lies on a small 

section of Richmond Hill Rd 

between addresses 54 and 70. 

It is narrow and in some 

places the footpath is the same 

height as the road. 

People park vehicles on the 

footpath to avoid blocking the 

narrow road which creates 

safety issues for pedestrians 

who are forced to walk on the 

road to get around the parked 

vehicles. 

The parked vehicles can also 

prevent larger emergency service 

vehicles from accessing 

properties further up Richmond 

Hill Rd. 

New subdivisions have also 

contributed to an increase in 

traffic flow. 

Council staff received feedback 

on its original plan last 

year to implement no stopping 

lines from four organisations 

and 61 individuals. 

Seventy-four per cent of 

submitters did not support the 

proposed plan.

Lyttelton netball court to 

open next month 

Lyttelton Netball Club’s new court 

will now be opened on July 10. It 

was expected to be finished in time 

for the winter sports season, but 

recent weather events have caused 

delays to the civil and landscaping 

works. The court is part of an 

upgrade to the Lyttelton Recreation 

Ground, which included a change 

pavillion, basketball-futsal 

court and artificial turf training 

ground. 

Woman falls from motorbike 

in Little River 

A woman suffered a compound 

fracture to her forearm after 

falling off a 50cc motorcycle on a 

wooden bridge on Church Rd, Little 

River. Her back wheels slipped 

causing her to lose control. The 

Little River Volunteer Fire Brigade 

was called to the scene at 5.35pm 

and conducted first aid before an 

ambulance arrived. 

BP Meats site meeting 

scheduled for today 

Two community workshops are 

being held today at the Gaiety Hall 

in Akaroa to discuss the feedback 

city council staff have received 

so far on the future uses of the 

BP Meats site. The workshops 

will be on at 2.30-4.30pm 

and 5-7pm. City council staff 

will present community feedback 

and other relevant information.

A lifelong commitment to making 

› From page 1 

He and Cath were together for 

16 years. They got married the 

day before she died. 

“We had both come out of less 

than pleasant marriages and 

we always said we’re not going 

down that path again, but it was 

the one thing Cath wanted. 

“Think of any emotion you 

can and it was probably there,” 

Lilley said. 

After Cath died, Lilley was an 

“emotional wreck”. He turned 

to community service. 

“I made a promise to Cath I 

would spend a chunk of my life 

working to improve the lives of 

people with cancer,” he said. 

In 2010, he heard about the 

Tranz Alpine Scooter Safari, 

a biennial charity ride from 

Christchurch to Hokitika on 

50cc scooters. 

The trip is made by up to 250 

people annually and has raised 

$2.2 million for Cancer Society 

Canterbury-West Coast to date. 

Lilley has taken part in every 

ride since and has won best 

scooter multiple times. 

He changes the scooter design 

every time and has big plans for 

next year’s event. 

“It’s a day of complete and 

utter lunacy, but the underlying 

thing is deadly serious. 

“Half the way over there, I’m 

crying because I can feel Cath 

on my shoulder,” he said. 

Lilley grew up on a farm 

in Kaikōura, which shaped 

his passion for wildlife 

conservation. 

“That environment (your 

upbringing) is where you 

develop the values that you live 

by,” he said. 

Lilley left Kaikōura when 

he was 18 to join the army. He 

completed the basic training, 

but was also interested in 

joining the police. 

He applied for both and was 

snapped up first by the police. 

After four years as a traffic 

cop in Nelson, he was diagnosed 

with cancer at 18. 

It was not treatable in Nelson, 

so he moved to Christchurch for 

“It (the scooter safari) is a day of complete and utter 

lunacy, but the underlying thing is deadly serious. Half 

the way over there, I’m crying because I can feel Cath 

on my shoulder.” – Jim Lilley 

treatment and to recover. 

Lilley also went through 

another round of cancer at 32. 

Incidents of animal harm in 

Kaikōura prompted Lilley and 

two friends to establish Marine 

Watch in 1992, which assisted 

the Department of Conservation 

with wildlife incidents. 

Jim and Cath Lilley on the Rialto Bridge while holidaying in Venice in 2007. After 

16 years together, they married in 2008, one day before Cath died. 

He led groups of volunteers to 

rescue and rehabilitate injured 

wildlife, including dolphins, 

seals, whales and seabirds. 

Lilley was personally 

involved in the rescue of more 

than 10,000 stranded whales. 

“When you look at the 

weather forecast and look 

at climate change, there’s an 

imperative to this work. That’s 

why I was trying to send a 

message that every animal 

matters,” he said. 

The organisation started with 

three, but grew to a group of 

about 500 volunteers. 

A whale rescue once required 

Lilley to go to Port Levy. He 

asked Coastguard Canterbury 

to take him and the volunteer 

crew there. 

The rescue was successful, 

but afterwards Lilley realised 

he had never thanked the 

Coastguard for its help. He went 

back a few days later – and 

ended up volunteering for the 

next 21 years. 

He took on a variety of roles, 

including training officer, 

skipper, and communications 

officer. 

Over the years, Lilley 

participated in the rescue of 

more than 500 people. That 

included the 2000 storm that 

ruined the Lyttelton marina. 

“A storm came through and 

totally destroyed (the marina), 

somewhere in the vicinity of 60 

vessels got sunk and we spent 

the next 10 days salvaging what 

we could,” he said.

– 



the world a better place for all 

Lilley saved a woman’s dog, 

which was stranded on her 

boat. She later turned up to the 

Coastguard headquarters with 

$1000 of KFC. 

Cath also volunteered 

for Coastguard Canterbury, 

working the radios while Lilley 

drove the boat. After her death, 

Lilley struggled to stay in the 

building because of his grief. 

“Everywhere you looked 

there was just too many 

memories,” he said. 

He eventually finished up in 

2015. 

Two years before Cath’s 

death, Lilley had a heart attack. 

“You look over the side of 

your bed and you’re staring 

down a six-foot hole, so it was a 

big wake up call,” he said. 

He took time to re-evaluate 

his life, helped by Cath. In 

particular, Lilley grappled with 

his body’s inability to live on 

the edge. 

He turned that into upskilling 

others. 

“I wasn’t 12 foot four and 

bulletproof anymore. 

“You’ve accumulated a hell 

of a lot of experience in these 

fields and you go through a 

journey where you part that 

experience onto others,” he 

said. 

He remembers taking current 

Forest and Bird chief executive 

Nicola Toki to her first whale 

stranding when she was still 

at school. 

“You sit back and think, what 

you were doing 20 years ago 

has an impact today.” 

Following the February 22, 

Lilley volunteered at Coastguard Canterbury for 21 years. 

2011 earthquake, Lilley was 

asked by Civil Defence to be an 

incident manager at welfare 

centres for evacuees. 

“I got a call to see if I could 

help. I could help, so I did.” 

He recalled walking down 

Linwood Ave and was stunned 

to see after all that had 

happened, parents putting their 

children down open cracks to 

take photos of them. 

“I just shook my head,” he said. 

Former prime minister John 

Key was in Linwood as well 

meeting with the residents. He 

reached over and shook Lilley’s 

hand. 

“I thought it was just going 

to be a quick flick and go but he 

wouldn’t let go of my hand, he 

said ‘I actually want to 

know how you are’ and we 

talked for a while.” 

The two hadn’t met before. 

About 10 years ago, Lilley was 

approached by a friend to join 

the Christchurch Royal New 

Zealand Returned and Services 

Association. The friend was a 

keen fisherman whose views 

on conservation differed from 

Lilley’s. 

“We used to have public 

meetings and people would 

come for the entertainment of 

him and I arguing,” said Lilley. 

He said he would join the 

executive for a year. He is now 

in his second stint as president 

after taking on the role again in 

September. 

His first stint was in 2020, but 

Lilley was forced to step down 

when he had quintuple bypass 

surgery. 

He said the role has been busy, 

especially with the rate at which 

RSAs around the country are 

winding up. 

Lilley has been the organiser 

and master of ceremonies 

for the Christchurch City and 

Lyttelton Anzac and Armistice 

Day services for the past six 

years. 

He played a key role in 

returning the Christchurch 

service to Cathedral Square, a 

proud moment. 

The Citizen’s War Memorial 

in the square was re-dedicated 

in 2023 in a service attended by 

Princess Anne. 

“Being there and having it 

unveiled by Princess Anne, that 

was a high point,” he said. 

As well as his work with the 

RSA and fundraising for the 

Cancer Society, Lilley is also a 

bus driver instructor. He has 

been doing it for 13 years. 

He tried to retire about five 

years ago to “act his age”, but 

was bored within five minutes 

and went back to work. He 

doesn’t plan on slowing down.

Ticket levy to apply to 

all stadium attendees 

BY DYLAN SMITS 

Residents hoping to avoid a 

potential ticket levy for events 

at One New Zealand Stadium 

are out of luck. 

The stadium’s operator, 

city council-owned Venues 

Ōtautahi, has told Bay Harbour 

News there will be no region 

or location-based ticket levy, 

despite earlier suggestions 

from some city councillors and 

Mayor Phil Mauger. 

Instead, any ticket levy will 

apply to all ticketholders, 

including those in Christchurch, 

who contributed ratepayer 

funds to the stadium’s 

construction. 

“We can confirm there will 

not be a regionally targeted 

ticket levy for ticket purchasers 

outside the Christchurch City 

Council region. Regionally 

targeted levies are difficult to 

enforce and not supported by 

our ticketing systems,” said 

Venues Ōtautahi chief executive 

Caroline Harvie-Teare. 

Mauger and city councillor 

Sam MacDonald first proposed 

the idea of a location-based 

ticket levy in August 2023, 

suggesting it could help offset 

operating costs by charging 

more to people living outside 

Christchurch. 

However, both Mauger and 

the city council have since 

dropped efforts to seek funding 

contributions from other 

district councils. 

Venues Ōtautahi confirmed 

to Bay Harbour News in April it 

had ruled out ratepayers from 

neighbouring district councils 

contributing funds to the 

stadium’s operating costs. 

While a ticket levy is still under 

consideration, Harvie-Teare 

said it would apply to all ticket 

holders, regardless of where they 

live, and would depend on the 

type of event and ticket pricing. 

“Ticket levies are standard 

practice across industry and 

apply to most major venues 

across the country to cover 

costs such as repairs and 

maintenance. These levies can 

vary from venue to venue, event 

to event.” 

Ticket levies are already used 

in some form at Auckland’s Eden 

Park and Spark Arena. 

The $683 million stadium in 

Christchurch will open next April 

with a 30,000 capacity for sports 

matches and 36,000 for concerts. 

Venues Ōtautahi is staying 

mostly quiet about its plan to pay 

for events funding at the stadium 

and what will be covered by its 

own revenue, as opposed to city 

council money. 

Venues Ōtautahi refused to 

release the stadium’s business 

plan to Bay Harbour News, 

with Harvie-Teare saying it is 

“commercially sensitive.” 

Bay Harbour News, under 

the Local Government Official 

Information and Meetings Act, 

has requested Venues Ōtautahi’s 

business plan for the stadium.

New date in July confirmed 

for testing of tsunami sirens 


Tsunami sirens along the 

coastline will be re-tested on 

July 13. 

Forty five sirens between 

Brooklands and Taylors Mistake 

will sound for up to three 

minutes at 11am on the last 

Sunday of the school holidays. 

Residents will hear a tone 

followed by a message: “This is 

a test of the tsunami warning 

sirens. Do not be alarmed. This 

is only a test.” 

The new testing date follows 

the earlier failure in April to 

test the sirens, due to the sole 

operator of the technology, 

based in Auckland, dealing with 

a car accident outside their 

house at the time the sirens 

were scheduled to go off. 

City council civil defence 

and emergency management 

manager Brenden Winder said 

it is important the sirens are 

re-tested to ensure they work 

effectively. 

“We recognise the critical 

importance of testing 

the tsunami sirens and 

acknowledge the confusion that 

the earlier failed test created,” 

he said. 

“We’ve had discussions with 

our supplier and we have 

sufficient safeguards in place 

to ensure this test will go ahead 

as planned. It is only a test and 

there is no need for anyone to 

evacuate.” 

Winder said reminders would 

be put out closer to the testing 

date. 

In the event of an immediate 

tsunami threat, Civil Defence 

and police would use the 

cellphone-based Emergency 

Mobile Alert system, radio, 

television, social media, sirens 

and local community networks 

to alert residents. 

There are concerns the siren 

network along Canterbury 

beaches is unfit for purpose as a 

primary emergency mechanism 

due to its age and outdated 

technology. 

Said Sumner Community 

Residents’ Association chair, 

Andrea Davis: "It [siren test 

PHOTO: CCC 

failure] highlighted the fact the 

system is not automated. From 

our point of view, a foolproof 

automated system is what is 

needed, 

"Quality over quantity, the 

more people who are prepared 

the better - you have a text and 

a siren there is no indecision." 

There is a proposal to reduce 

the 45 sirens to about 10 located 

at specific points where the 

efficiency of alerting systems 

such as EMAs may be reduced. 

It will be discussed by the city 

council on June 10. 

Locations of the 10 sirens 

may include areas where 

people are less likely to have 

cell phones.

PORT NEWS 

Terra Nova 

joins LPC 

Marine Fleet 

A new state-of-the-art pilot 

launch has arrived in Lyttelton 

boasting advanced safety 

features, increased fuel 

efficiency, and environmental 

sustainability. 

Named Terra Nova, the pilot transfer boosts 

Lyttleton’s pilot fleet to two modern launches. 

Henry Bastion, LPC Marine Fleet Manager, 

says Terra Nova is one of the industry's safest 

and most efficient pilot vessels. 

“Terra Nova is crucial for the consistent 

and safe transfer of pilots, especially in 

challenging conditions with swells up to 

three or four meters,” said Henry Bastion. 

Design and Safety 

Terra Nova, with her distinctive beak bow 

hull form, reduces slamming and vertical 

acceleration, improving the boat's wavepiercing 

ability. It has also proven to be 

efficient, reducing drag, improving fuel 

economy, and enhancing the launch's 

operation. 

Advanced Technology 

Terra Nova is equipped with infrared and 

FLIR thermal imaging cameras that can 

track objects in the water, enhancing 

safety during operations. 

The vessel has the latest version of Hart 

Marine's Man Overboard Recovery 

platform and a fully self-righting 

function, ensuring maximum safety for 

the crew. 

“The addition of Terra Nova to our fleet 

is part of our strategy to maintain a high 

level of service, safety, and ensure 

continuity of our operations,” said 

Bastion. 

Terra Nova Lyttelton history 

The name Terra Nova holds historical 

significance dating back to the early 1900s 

when the original ‘Terra Nova’ regularly 

used the Lyttelton Dry Dock to overhaul 

and refit the vessel for expeditions to 

Antarctica. 

Andrew Van der Bent, Head of Marine 

Operations, says the LPC Pilot Launch Team 

suggested the name Terra Nova, which 

means 'new land' in Latin. 

“It’s fitting for modern-day vessels 

visiting Lyttelton from around the world 

to be greeted by a pilot vessel with such a 

distinguished name,” said Andrew Van der 

Bent. 

Terra Nova Blessing 

The Terra Nova will be commissioned at an 

official naming ceremony on June 19.

Te Awaparahi Bay 

reclamation next phase 

The Te Awaparahi Bay 

reclamation project is a critical 

initiative for the future of 

Lyttelton Port and the wider 

Canterbury and South Island 

economy. 

As we approach our container berth 

capacity, expanding our infrastructure is 

essential to meet the growing demands of 

the New Zealand supply chain. 

Our current modelling indicates that by 

2029-30, we will no longer be able to berth 

enough vessels of sufficient capacity to 

keep up with these demands. 

The initial 10ha of the Te Awaparahi Bay 

reclamation project was completed in 2019. 

The next stage, totalling six hectares, was 

completed in December 2020. This current 

stage, totalling seven hectares, is expected 

to take two years to complete. 

This project will enable Lyttelton to 

handle up to 850,000 TEU per year and 

accommodate the largest vessels that visit 

New Zealand, solidifying our position as the 

South Island’s main hub port. 

The reclamation work is a continuation 

of the Port Lyttelton Recovery Plan, a 

statutory document under the Canterbury 

Earthquake Recovery Act 2011, and has been 

fully consented since January 2018. 

Environmental Management 

The reclamation is being carried out under a 

comprehensive construction environmental 

plan and a sustainability framework based 

on international best practices developed 

specifically for the Te Awaparahi Bay 

project. We understand the community’s 

environmental concerns. 

LPC undertook a partner-led programme 

for kaimoana and other species relocation 

before the commencement of the physical 

construction work. 

Over 7000 organisms have been relocated 

under the Kaimoana Management Plan 

developed for the resource consent. 

Additionally, LPC has become the first 

company in New Zealand to release a 

disclosure report under the Taskforce 

on Nature-related Financial Disclosures 

Framework. This report focuses on 

LPC’s impacts, dependencies, risks, and 

opportunities. It identifies where Port 

activities have contributed to land and 

marine habitat change since the beginnings 

of a commercial Port in 1875. 

Our goal is to become net biodiversity 

positive, measured against a baseline of 

1875, and this report is a crucial step in 

establishing the pathway to achieve 

this aim. 

Economic Benefits 

The reclamation work is vital to ensure 

that the Port can handle the volume 

demands of the Canterbury and South 

Island economies and to enable the Port’s 

resilience in the event of another major 

seismic event. 

If the next stage of this work is not 

completed soon, we will be unable to meet 

the timetable required to deliver the new 

Te Awaparahi Bay Wharf by the early 

2030s, which will be crucial to delivering 

the forecast container vessel berth 

requirements. 

The risk is berth congestion; currently, 

LPC can only berth a single large container 

vessel at a time. The new berth will allow 

two large vessels to berth simultaneously. 

Long-term sustainability 

The Te Awaparahi Bay reclamation project 

is not just about expanding our port 

facilities; it is about ensuring the long-term 

sustainability and resilience of our region’s 

economy and environment. 

We are committed to working with 

all stakeholders, including the local 

community and iwi, to address concerns 

and ensure this project benefits everyone 

involved. 

If you have any questions about work 

you see in the harbour or at any of our 

sites, don’t hesitate to contact our team.

PORT NEWS 

LPC 

Masterplan: 

Shaping the 

Future of 

Lyttelton Port 

The Lyttelton Port Company 

(LPC) is embarking on a 

journey to guide the future 

of Lyttelton Port through a 

30-year Masterplan. 

A seamless 

solution for 

Golden Bay 

Cement 

Golden Bay is one of 

New Zealand’s largest cement 

businesses and the only one 

to still produce cement in 

Aotearoa. 

Now a subsidiary of Fletcher Building, 

Golden Bay has been in operation for over 

100 years. By the numbers, it operates 

with 900 ISO tanks, 231 staff, 15 service and 

distribution centres, two marine vessels and 

one cement plant. 

For the last 10 years, Golden Bay has had a 

close relationship with LPC as we help it get 

its product out to customers across the South 

Island. 

The process follows an ISO tank model 

in which cement is transported via coastal 

shipping from the plant in Portland (near 

Whangārei) down to Lyttelton. The product 

is shipped in ISO tanks (‘tanktainers’), 

which are offloaded and transported to 

LPC’s landside facilities, CityDepot and 

MidlandPort. 

From there, tanks are sent out to 

customers as required. Empty tanks are 

returned and eventually shipped back to 

Portland where the process begins again. 

Chris Strong, Fletcher Category Manager 

for Road and Rail, says the ISO solution 

works perfectly for the business. 

“It’s been a fantastic operational 

relationship. As soon as the tanks arrive 

at Lyttelton, the Port takes over. It’s a very 

efficient process and having two storage 

locations means we can save our customers 

time and money.” 

Coastal shipping is ideal for moving 

large volumes of heavy product. Not 

only is it more sustainable than road or 

rail from the North Island, it makes clear 

financial sense too. 

“Coastal shipping is by far the most 

efficient way to move the volumes we 

deal with,” says Chris. “We currently move 

up to 120 tanks per week to the South 

Island. That’s just short of 3,000 tonnes. 

The ability to move that quantity of 

product on a constant, locked-in schedule 

can’t be underestimated. The impact is 

phenomenal.” 

LPC Chief Customer and Supply Chain 

Officer Simon Munt says that being able 

to provide an end-to-end solution for 

Golden Bay is testament to LPC’s focus on 

nurturing strong relationships. 

“Road, rail and shipping are all involved 

in the solution. We must be able to 

facilitate the different parts of the chain 

to make it work seamlessly.” 

He also says that LPC’s ability to 

provide landside solutions is key to 

adding value for our customers. 

“As we continue to grow the Port, 

we’ve also got to be able to get the cargo 

in and out. Investing in and promoting 

our landslide solutions, like CityDepot 

and MidlandPort, is key to keeping pace 

with increased volumes. This is definitely 

a focus for our long-term strategy,” 

concludes Simon. 

“It’s been a fantastic 

operational relationship. 

As soon as the tanks 

arrive at Lyttelton, the 

Port takes over. It’s a 

very efficient process 

and having two storage 

locations means we can 

save our customers time 

and money.”

In collaboration with GHD, LPC aims to 

outline the strategic direction for the port's 

infrastructure and operations, addressing 

key economic, social, environmental, and 

climate considerations. 

It sits alongside the comprehensive work 

undertaken as part of the Port Lyttelton 

Plan and the Port Lyttelton Recovery Plan 

following the earthquakes, which established 

the spatial planning framework to enable 

the Port to develop to meet the needs of the 

region into the 2040s. 

The principles established by the Port 

Lyttelton Recovery Plan remain, in particular 

the move of Port operations eastward; the 

Masterplan is a separate document and 

tool that will lay out the vision for the 

development of operations and activities 

within that existing framework and 

footprint. 

This initiative is crucial for the sustainable 

development of the port and the surrounding 

community. 

Public Feedback 

To ensure that the Masterplan reflects the 

needs and concerns of the local community, 

LPC is launching a public consultation 

process. 

The community will be able to participate 

in an online survey to provide feedback, rank 

key issues, comment on important topics, and 

suggest one change they would make at the 

Port of Lyttelton and its networks. 

This survey will be available in June/ 

July. LPC will set up a drop-in centre at 

the Lyttelton Market during this period to 

answer any questions and gather additional 

feedback. 

LPC UPDATE June 2025 3

OUR PEOPLE 

From 

forkhoist 

driver to 

site foreman 

at CityDepot 

Paki Tamehana has 

worked at CityDepot since 

November 2012 and started 

as a forklift and empty 

container handler driver. 

The best thing I love here is the variety of 

work you do,” says Paki. 

“You are picking up containers all day, 

every day, but not always the same one,”he 

laughs. 

Paki is the face of CityDepot and has been 

a dedicated presence rising through the 

ranks to the role of operations foreman. 

“I ensure people are in the right places 

and that we have enough staff. This includes 

managing the wash pads, workshops and 

survey pads and ensuring containers are 

stacked safely.” 

CityDepot is the largest empty container 

depot in the South Island. Operating 24 

hours a day, Monday through Friday, it 

plays a crucial role in supporting the 

wider supply chain by ensuring sufficient 

containers are made available for customers 

to pack and export through Lyttelton to the 

world. 

It is equipped with a rail siding capable 

of handling up to 24 wagons at a time. 

The site is an MPI-accredited facility 

that provides various services, including 

surveying, repairing, washing and storing 

empty containers. 

“Fonterra Darfield is one of our biggest 

customers at the moment – we supply 48 

containers a day out to Fonterra for milk 

powder.” 

Maintaining a stable workforce has been 

a challenge at CityDepot. 

Paki was involved in the hiring of six 

Filipino employees to bolster his team and 

provide a stable roster of forkhoist reach 

stacker drivers. 

“We travelled to the Philippines to 

interview six potential staff. I was involved 

in the selection process and ensured that, 

when the recruits arrived in New Zealand, 

they were supported with their integration 

into LPC, receiving comprehensive onsite 

training in operations and health and 

safety.” 

Paki says he now has a team he can rely 

on, and it certainly helps that the team is 

able to carry out a variety of different tasks 

across our operation. 

“I value the freedom to make decisions 

and ensure the team is ready to react to 

customer requirements and maintain a 

safe operation within CityDepot.” 

Paki’s smooth operation of CityDepot 

has had a positive impact and rubbed off on 

staff who treat him like a father figure. 

“I am a mother, father, to a brother, to a 

mate, to a doctor, which is good,”he laughs. 

“I think my personality helps and takes 

everyone for who they are.” 

Paki says CityDepot is a great place to 

work and is proud of his team. 

“I ensure people are in the 

right places and that we 

have enough staff. This 

includes managing the 

wash pads, workshops 

and survey pads and 

ensuring containers 

are stacked safely.” 

ENVIRONMENT 

Turning Port 

log bark 

waste into 

compost 

Local companies have found a 

way to turn bark waste from 

sawmill residues and forest 

operations into potting mix, 

soil conditioner and garden 

chips. 

The bark from the Log Yards at the Port has 

become part of the raw material mix. The 

initiative was the result of collaboration 

between forest companies, Port operators and 

Intelligro, a leading manufacturer of 

landscaping products. 

Rodney Ryder from Laurie Forestry says 

that Intelligro and several other companies 

have been using clean bark for a long time 

but the challenge was using less quality 

material. 

The system has been refined into a very 

large operation and now gets raw material 

from as far away as Picton. The bark is 

screened and mixed with other materials, 

including clean bark from the sawmills, to 

make highly sought-after nursery blends. 

As trucks are unloaded at the Port, bark 

falls off and stevedores C3 sweep it into a 

storage area. 

Intelligro collects the accumulated bark at 

regular intervals, which is used as a 

byproduct to produce compost. 

Waste Management’s sweeping 

programme comes twice a week to collect 

remaining dust. 

After each shipment, C3 sweeps the 

residue bark into storage and Intelligro 

collects it. C3 loads out the bark during 

quiet periods in its operation. 

“The bark has gone from being a 

problem residue to a sought-after 

commodity and helps to cover some of the 

cost of maintaining the yards,”says 

Rodney. 

“This is a fine example of what can 

happen when you get a team of people 

working together so that all parties 

benefit from the relationship.”

with Diamond Harbour, 

which has been fantastic,” said 

Elder. 

"We’re hoping we can build 

the relationship in such a way 

that they can transition into a 

Diamond Harbour senior team 

and form the basis for our new 

team.” 

The UC colts ran a two day 

It’s probably going to 

take a couple seasons 

for us to be able to field 

a team again. 

– Brent Elder 

pre-season training camp at 

Diamond Harbour in April and 

are looking to bring two home 

games to Diamond Harbour 

sometime this season. 

Said Elder: “It’s probably 

GUTTED: The Diamond Harbour rugby fields will see no play on Saturday afternoons this season as it has not managed to 

garner enough players to field a team. 

going to take a couple seasons 

for us to be able to field a team 

again.” 

Diamond Harbour was 

not able to field a team last 

season either, but combined 

with Springston to play in 

the Ellesmere division 2 

competition, where they 

reached the quarter-finals. 

“It was a fantastic vibe last 

season, it really was,” said 

Bludden. 

But this season the two clubs 

could only muster 14 registered 

players, five of them from 

Diamond Harbour. 

Last season, they had a 

squad of 40 with about 20 from 

Diamond Harbour. 

The steep drop off is due to a 

combination of an ageing roster, 

injuries and younger players 

moving, said Bludden. 

He added the club’s situation 

is part of a wider issue with 

New Zealand rugby numbers, 

attributing it to the variety 

of sports available for young 

people. 

“It’s just a sign of the times, 

we’re not the only club 

struggling. 

“It’s just a matter of 

promoting and making people 

aware of what we’ve got and 

what we do.” 

Blunden said the club was in 

a financially healthy position 

and is not at risk of falling over. 

The club has four junior 

teams - a year 1 rippa team, a 

year 3 and 5 tackle team in the 

Ellesmere competition and a 

year 3 rippa team in the Metro 

competition. 

Bludden said numbers are 

holding their own. 

The club’s most notable 

player is former Canterbury 

lock, Bruce Farmer, who played 

for the province from 1976 

to 1980 under captain, Alex 

“Grizz” Wyllie. 

‘It’s amazing what a victory can do for belief’ 


Sumner are full of confidence 

heading into their Metro 

Premier clash with third 

placed High School Old Boys, 

following a 64-28 drubbing of 

Christchurch on Friday night. 

“It's amazing what a victory 

can do for belief, no matter 

who it's against and how it 

happens, belief is belief and 

that's certainly high now,” said 

Sumner head coach, Gareth 

D’Almeida. 

“It's about getting the preparation 

done, good clarity during 

the week and 

turning up.” 

But the wave 

are not getting 

ahead of 

themselves. 

"The job’s 

not done, that’s 

for sure,” Gareth D’Almeida 

D’Almeida said. 

Sumner will be donning pink 

jerseys in Saturday’s game 

(2.45pm) at St Leonards Park 

for the club’s annual ladies day 

and breast cancer fundraiser. 

The victory marks the Wave’s 

first of the season after suffering 

a six game losing streak. 

"From my perspective as a 

coach, it’s been coming a for a 

while,” said D’Almeida. 

Sumner has been working 

on defence, and keeping the 

pressure on after they have 

scored points, which D’Almeida 

said had been achieved 

in the second half against 

Christchurch. 

"It’s great if we can score 

some great tries, but there is no 

point if we’re going to let one or 

two in straight after,” he said. 

Sumner went into the break 

only narrowly ahead, but 

D’Almeida said they were not 

happy with their defence in the 

first 40 minutes. 

"It was a key focus, as it has 

been for a while and we managed 

to achieve that in the 

second half. 

"Sixty four points is a significant 

score, considering where 

we we’ve come from over the 

last number of weeks, there’s a 

lot of positives to take out of it,” 

he said. 

The energy in the shed after 

the game was awesome, said 

D’Almeida. 

"Trying to keep the boys positive 

after six losses in a row is 

a challenge in itself, so to see 

that sort of positivity is pretty 

encouraging. 

"We’ll be looking to build on 

that and head into the game at 

home with a bit more spring in 

our step,” he said. 

D’Almeida said the 

standouts were centre Kaliova 

Modcetadra, openside flanker 

Jack Findlay and loosehead 

prop Archie Stanley.

COASTAL AUCTION SERIES 

WEDNESDAY 18 JUNE FRo M 5 PM 

Mid-Century Authenticity on 1128sqm 

304 Cannon Hill Crescent, Mount Pleasant 

3 bedrooms, 1 living, 1 dining, 1 study, 1 bathroom, 3 car garaging 


Framing an uninterrupted view from city to sea and plains to peaks, this 

mid-century original combines its 1960s design pedigree with untapped 

potential on a prime lower-slope position in Mount Pleasant. 

Largely untouched, the interiors remain a time capsule of their era. The 

kitchen has been sympathetically updated in line with the home’s midcentury 

design, while expansive living zones, a dining room, and dual 

decks make full use of the site, capturing sweeping views by day and city 

lights by night. 

Three bedrooms, plus a study that has the potential to be converted to 

an ensuite or walk-in robe, are supported by a dedicated laundry, family 

bathroom, separate toilet, and an additional shower room, reinforcing 

the home’s generous single-level layout. 

Below, a three-car garage and workshop are a genuine hillside rarity, 

offering enormous space and value for collectors, creatives, or anyone 

needing additional storage. 

Open Homes: Wednesday 5:00 - 5:30pm,

Redcliffs Rhythm, 1960s Soul 

71 Main Road, Redcliffs 

2 bedrooms, 1 living, 1 studio, 1 bathroom, 1 car garaging 


Immaculately presented with a considered nod to its 1960s roots, this 

sun-soaked home blends design-forward finishes with character cues in 

central Redcliffs. 

A quality kitchen upgrade and fresh paintwork has set a refined tone 

indoors, complemented by timber floors underfoot, tongue-and-groove 

detail overhead, and mood-lifting feature lights that preserve the home’s 

charm while sharpening its contemporary edge. 

Two double bedrooms and a bathroom with a clawfoot bath add vintage 

warmth, while the open-plan living area extends into a sunroom, ideal as 

a retreat, creative corner, or quiet extension of the lounge. 

A single garage and powered studio provide extra flexibility for hobbies, 

hosting, or working from home, while off-street parking completes the 

fully fenced 513sqm parcel.
