Illegal Tyre Dumping Scenic Rapaki Location Littered with Tyres
A busload of tourists pulled up at a Canterbury
lookout yesterday, only to find the area had
been littered with dozens of tyres.
Christchurch Tours operator Robin McCarthy
was taking a tour around Governors Bay Rd
when he stopped at a popular lookout just
outside Rapaki Bay.
''We all piled out expecting to look at the
lovely view, but when we looked over the edge
we saw the area had been covered in tyres,''
he said.
''It looked like a professional dumping
ground.'' McCarthy estimated that 60 tyres
had been dumped down the hill.
''There could have been more because some of them had rolled a long way down into the bushes.'' The tourists were ''not
impressed'' with the sight, he said. ''It's not a good look when we promote ourselves as a clean, green country and then there is
rubbish everywhere.''
McCarthy believed someone had dumped the tyres because they did not want to pay to dispose of them properly. ''It's terrible for
the environment. Tyres take a long time to decompose and can really have an adverse effect,'' he said. ''It's awfully irresponsible
that someone just dumped them.''
McCarthy said he had contacted Environment Canterbury and the Christchurch City Council about the tyres. He said ''a little bit of
detective work'' could solve who dumped the tyres. ''Judging by the grass, they had been dumped over the last day or so,'' he said.
''If the police wanted to look at security cameras and fingerprints, we could find out who did this. There can't be that many people
with this many tyres and the equipment to dump them.''
A city council spokesman said the council would look into the incident. "We will address this straight away and get it cleaned up. It
looks from the photo as if someone has just dumped those there on purpose which is very serious. We want to find out who is

LIFT Library Update Firstly, a recent acquisition, written for all parents, which will amuse and enlighten you at the same time:
My Mother Wears Combat Boots: A Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us 2007 Jessica Mills
Written with humour, extensive research, and much trial and error, this book delivers sound advice for parents of all stripes. Amid
stories of bringing kids (and grandparents) to women’s rights demonstrations, taking baby on tour with her band, and organising
cooperative childcare, Jessica gives detailed nuts-and-bolts information about weaning, cloth vs. disposable diapers, the
psychological effects of co-sleeping, and even how to get free infant gear. This book provides a clever, hip, and entertaining mix of
advice, anecdotes, political analysis, and factual sidebars that will help parents as they navigate the first years of their child’s life.’
Inequality: a New Zealand Crisis 2013 Ed. Max Rashbrooke
The divide between New Zealand’s poorest and wealthiest inhabitants has widened alarmingly over recent decades. Differences
in income have grown faster than in most other developed countries. New Zealand society is being reshaped, stretching to
accommodate new distance between those who ‘have’ and those who ‘have not’. Income inequality is a crisis that affects us all.
A diverse gathering of New Zealand scholars, journalists, researchers, business leaders, workers, students and parents share these
pages. It’s not just serious articles, full of comprehensive details – there are also, following each one, a ‘viewpoint’, written by
someone personally affected by the issue discussed. If you read nothing else in the book, read these.
Generation Zero’s Speaking Tour: What’s the Holdup? Getting New Zealand Moving on Climate Change
In review of attending this talk, naturally the large audience consisted mainly of young people, as that is the nature of the
movement – getting the young activists to stir-up us oldies! They made powerful points about smart energy solutions, in
transport, heat & industry, and electricity, as well as actions to take, especially with local body elections coming up. For example,
later you will be able to find out what your local candidates are thinking about local solutions to climate change, by going to their
website: http://generationzero.org.nz. There’s a lot of ideas there! And I have some of their handouts if you’d like them.
And here is some more to read about. Try these websites I’ve been put onto recently. I just want more time free to read them!

A talk is scheduled for Christchurch, 14th August. Christchurch Polytechnical, Madras Street Campus 7.30pm
Farmers Market Forum | July 27 and 28
If you enrol in this event you can join in with Saturday 27 film sessions provided by LIFT at The Portal 1.00-2.00pm and 4.00-
5.30pm if there is a demand. There will be a selection of films on Farmers Markets, food production, and ways in which Farmers
Markets can help in educating the public in wise ways of living.
LIFT’s Next Film Eveing | Monday 5 August
At The Portal, Oxford Street at 7.15pm. Featuring “The Economics of Happiness” and Creating Prosperous Communities—
CoOperatives in Maleny”. These documentaries take us from the problems of globalisation to the benefits of localisation.
Lyttelton is already active in localising, but there are plenty more ideas here for us!
And finally, today’s quote:
You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model
plenty to share In Lyttelton so many residents grow vegetables; or have fruit trees literally dripping with produce. Plenty to Share is about sharing any
excess produce with the community. So if your lemon tree is yellow with goodness and you can’t keep up with making lemon curd, bring
those surplus fruits down to the organisers, where every Saturday the swapping of produce is well underway in Lyttelton on the corner of
London and Canterbury Street; and also in Diamond Harbour on a Saturday morning at the village centre. If there is something on the
Plenty to Share table that you would like to take home, then you are warmly invited to do so.
Oops! Last week in the Lyttelton Review we ran an article on the Fifth Ship art installation by Trent Hiles located on the corner of London
Street and Canterbury Street. Attached to the Review was a chart of all the ships flags that readers and visitors to Lyttelton could
refer to it in unlocking the poem to this brightly coloured artwork. Unfortunately last minute technical difficulties meant that we
couldn’t upload the file correctly, so we have included this artwork again in this issue. Our apologies to Trent for this.
Banks Peninsula Zone Committee Focus on Sediment Issues
The Canterbury Water Banks Peninsula Zone Committee will meet for its regular monthly public meeting on Tuesday 23 July, at
the Governors Bay Hotel, in Governors Bay. A key focus for the meeting will be sediment issues in and around Whakaraupo
Lyttelton Harbour.
The committee will receive a report from Canterbury University summarising the research papers and reports on sedimentation
and circulation in Whakaraupo Lyttelton Harbour. The report highlights gaps in the research that has been undertaken to date and
identifies a number of actions that could be taken to reduce inputs in to the harbour.
The committee will also receive a report from Environment Canterbury on ecological monitoring in the harbour and mudflats. This
report highlights the effect of sediment on the ecological health of the mudflats and recommends sediment control measures be
taken in the main contributing catchments.
At the meeting, the committee will also consider two proposals to fund planting and fencing along local waterways – one in Head
of the Bay [Lyttelton harbour] the other on Okains Bay. To date around $75,000 has been allocated for biodiversity work in the
Banks Peninsula zone. The committee has further funding for this type of work. You can find more information and an application
form by searching ‘Immediate Steps’ at www.ecan.govt.nz/canterburywater.
At Tuesday’s meeting, the committee will also receive a summary compliance report from Environment Canterbury for Banks
Peninsula since January 2013. The Banks Peninsula Zone Committee typically meets on the third Tuesday of each month. Zone
Committee meetings are open to the public.

Changes to the Way Some Buses Look With the sale of Leopard’s urban services to GoBus now finalised, Environment Canterbury is
advising people that they are likely to start seeing some changes to how the buses look.
The fleets from both companies are now being combined which means there is the potential
for Leopard branded buses to be travelling GoBus routes and vice-versa. Gradually all
Leopard branding will be replaced, and the bus livery changed to that of GoBus; however,
until this transition is complete passengers are being made aware that the bus they catch
could look different to what they are accustomed too.
The actual bus services are not affected by these changes; all buses will continue to travel
routes as usual. It is best to look at the destination board, but if in doubt ask the driver.
If the public are unsure about anything on the Christchurch Metro network, they are
encouraged to contact the MetroInfo team by phone 03 366 8855

Bottom: GoBus branding which will eventually replace the Leopard livery
Road Closure: Main Road, Sumner Main Rd will be closed between 9pm and 5am from the 21st to 26th of July, between Shag Rock and Clifton Hill Road. The road is
being closed to allow the containers to be reset as they have slumped due to the ongoing shakes. The containers will be picked up
and moved, the road under them fixed and then the containers placed back in their original location. Contractors have set aside
the 5 nights for the work but hope to have it completed quicker than this. Darren Wright, Chair, Sumner Community Residents
