As the official surf season kicks off with volunteer lifeguards out patrolling beaches across the country, two local Surf Life Saving New Zealand (SLSNZ) clubs are vying to win a brand-new Inflatable Rescue Boat (IRB) worth $25,000 thanks to BP's Vote the Boat.

The New Brighton Surf Life Saving Club has been saving lives since 1910. It is a small club that has been struggling since the 2011 Canterbury earthquakes, and is currently undertaking a huge renovation project on their clubhouse rebuild. The 48 volunteer surf lifeguards at New Brighton Surf Life Saving Club patrol and conduct rescues along 20km of beach and coastline. Last summer, they spent 2,118 hours patrolling the beach and 287 preventative actions were taken.

The North Beach Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1916. The club has seen an increase in junior membership over the last three seasons, and now has a total of 141 members and 48 volunteer surf lifeguards. Having a new IRB in the water in addition to the patrol IRB would significantly increase safety. Last summer, North Beach Surf Life Saving Club spent 1,717 hours patrolling 4km of beach and coastline and 1,051 preventative actions were taken.

For two weeks until Sunday 22 November, New Zealanders are invited to vote daily to decide which of the club finalists is most deserving of the lifesaving equipment. One vote per person can be cast online per day.

A $12.5 million package to address erosion and flood risk in Southshore and South New Brighton has been approved by Christchurch City Council.

The work approved by the council includes:

- Replacing or covering structures with rocks along the estuary edge to reduce erosion risk and introducing a cobble beach with an offshore breakwater to encourage the saltmarsh to form a natural form of erosion protection.

- Building a new bund in to reduce the flood risk.

- Restoring the estuary edge in South New Brighton with a cobble beach.

- Constructing a new bund between the jetty near Beatty St and the southern end of the campground in Halsey St.

Work on the northern section of the bund will be completed in 2021 following the bird-nesting season. This bund, alongside the additional bunds approved last week, will together aim to reduce flood risk along the estuary edge.

Fraud Awareness Week

The Team from Neighbourhood Support New Zealand

This Fraud Awareness Week we are encouraging Kiwis to take a moment to stop and think ‘is this for real?’ when contacted unexpectedly and asked for personal info.

New Zealand Police's Financial Intelligence Unit estimates New Zealanders lose $20-30 million annually to scams.

HOW TO AVOID A SCAM:

+ A genuine bank or organisation will never contact you to ask for your PIN, password or to move money to another account.

+ Never click on a link in an unexpected email or text – you could be giving access to your personal and financial details.

+ Always question uninvited approaches in case it is a scam. Instead, contact the company directly using a known email or phone number.

+ Don’t assume an email or phone call is authentic – just because someone knows your basic details (name and address, or mother’s maiden name) it doesn’t mean they are genuine.

+ Don’t be rushed into making a decision or financial transaction on the spot – a genuine bank or trusted organisation would never do this.

+ Listen to your instincts – if something feels wrong then it generally is.

If you believe you are the victim of a scam you can contact Police and report the matter via 105.
