Canterbury's only indoor skate park opens in Rangiora

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Canterbury's only indoor skate park has opened its doors – in Rangiora.

The Barn, on Flaxton Rd, is essentially a warehouse half full of ramps and grind rails, offering something for all abilities. The only conditions for riders are they must wear a helmet, and parental permission is needed for anyone under the age of 18.

Nitrate levels have significantly reduced at a North Canterbury stream less than two months into a pilot project to improve its water quality.

The Institute of Environmental and Scientific Research (ESR)-led denitrification wall trial at Silverstream Reserve, near Kaiapoi, has resulted in nitrate levels in groundwater dropping from 7.1mg/l to 0.5 mg/l.

The 25 metre-long wall, installed in November, is a world first, having never been tested in a fast-flowing gravel aquifer system before.

The Ashley Rakahuri Rivercare Group (ARRG) was up against seven other finalists for the Australasian Wildlife Management Society (AWMS) annual award for practical wildlife management.

The group's win recognised the practical work it did to protect endemic braided river birds in the Ashley-Rakahuri River, including the wrybill, black-fronted tern, black-billed gull and the banded dotterel, all of which nest on clean shingle banks and islands in the river.

Residents advised to take precautions to manage fire risk

Waimakariri residents are being warned to prepare for the fire season, with hot, dry days posing an increased fire risk over the summer months.

Waimakariri District Council and Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fenz) are urging residents to be aware of fire dangers, in spite of recent rain, as conditions can change rapidly.

Fenz principal rural fire officer Bruce Janes said it was very likely there would be fires in the district over the summer period, as seen in previous years.

"Don't be fooled by all the rain and cooler temperatures. All that moisture means lots of growth [and], when summer does decide to show, it will rapidly dry off and become a lot of available fuel for any wild fire that may come along," he said.

"When you're working on your property or in the garden, keep machinery well maintained to reduce potential sparks, and mow lawns in cooler conditions.

"You should also assess the risk of fire to your property and get rid of any shrubs, long grass or trees near your home which could burn easily. Having an escape plan for your family and pets is also vital."

The warning comes as scientists and academics caution that the 2017 Port Hills fires "could become the norm that New Zealand fire agencies have to deal with", and criticise agencies for paying "lip service to lessons learned".

The Fenz website (www.fireandemergency.nz) has important information about how to reduce fire risk.

Long grass or any other fire hazard can be reported to Fenz online at www.fireandemergency.nz....
