lyttelton review “ community update www.lytteltonharbour.info 5 December 2011 E22 Another Loss for Lyttelton Recreation and Community Centre - Closed

The Lyttelton Recreation Centre, consisting of two adjoining buildings – a community centre built in 1963 and a recreation centre built in 1984; was closed down today pending more structural assessments.

After completing a detailed engineering evaluation of the Lyttelton Recreation Centre, structural engineers have recommended that the centre should close, and that the facility will need to be earthquake strengthened before reopening.

Engineers conducted a Level Two Rapid Assessment of the building after the 22 February earthquake and it received a green sticker. The Level Two Rapid Assessment is a visual inspection of the inside and outside of the building to identify any obvious structural damage.

However, the latest assessment is a more detailed evaluation of the building, including an estimation of its capacity to withstand future earthquakes. It is part of an ongoing process being carried out by the City Council to proactively ensure all its facilities undergo full engineering reviews after the earthquakes.

Christchurch City Council Community Services General Manager, Michael Aitken, says the Council is conscious that the closure will cause inconvenience for members of the community who use the facility or who have upcoming events booked. “However, the safety of people using the facility is our priority and we must ensure residents are not put at risk in the event of future earthquakes,” he says.

Currently the Recreation Centre is used for a range of community events including: Plunket Play Group; Pre-School Music Box; Tumble Times; Toy Library; Karate; Pilates; Belly Dancing; Dance Classes; Tai Chi; Recreational Gymnastics; Yoga; Jiu Jitsu; Seniors Fitness; not to mention Council, community group meetings and acting as Lyttelton’s Civil Defence Centre.

Pressure for community space in Lyttelton is evident and we are in dire need of solutions. If you can offer some alternative options for space for Lyttelton community groups to use, please contact us at the Lyttelton Harbour Information Centre so that we can create an availability list of space for hire.

Christine Wilson is one of them, and is currently the Manager of Lyttelton Community House and the Lyttelton Check out these local Harbour Basin Youth Council. You don’t see her informative web sites: around too much because most of the time she is in her Dublin Street office managing these two vital organisations.

Over the last three to four years Christine, her staff Lyttelton Harbour and volunteer boards have totally transformed the Information Centre Youth Centre, and have created Lyttelton www.lytteltonharbour.info Community House from scratch. They have done an amazing job. During this difficult year just keeping both centres open has been a major achievement. And on top of that they have developed a new food programme, cooking for Lyttelton elderly five nights per week. This is only just Diamond Harbour scaling down now. “That has been a terrific locally led earthquake response and a major Community Information achievement”, Christine said. www.diamondharbour.info

They are also the proud owners of a community bus. “That is opening up more possibilities and now our youth outreach now includes Governors Bay”, Christine said. This wasn’t possible in the past. Partnerships are also developing with Diamond Harbour youth. Hot off Governors Bay Christine says “We are now offering a shoppers bus every Wednesday afternoon at 1.30pm”. Community Information Christine has a lifetime of experience in our beautiful town. Born in Cressy House and apart www.governorsbay.net.nz from a couple of years in Christchurch has lived in Lyttelton all her life. She tells me snippets of her life. At age 16, “My first job was down at the wharf working in the Waterside Workers Canteen where 1,000 men a day used to eat lunch down there’, she said. Lyttelton Forum Over the years she’s done a variety of things but everything focuses on people. Her proudest www.lytteltonforum.org.nz job is being a mother and now grandmother. “I have three sons and eleven grandchildren” she tells me proudly. Many of you will know that two of Christine’s sons were All Blacks and within her immediate family are four All Blacks. Talking briefly about the Rugby World Cup and rugby in her life, “This year I was just pleased to be able to watch it on television and it was all really Lyttelton Harbour low key” she said. “Over the years the sport has given her loads of enjoyment and the Business Association www.lytteltonharbour.co.nz opportunities and friendships developed are really special to her.

Like most of us, learning about our past is also important to Christine. She has a special connection to the Pacific Islands. Her mother was Tahitian but spent many years living in Rarotonga. Christine has made many journeys back, and is currently doing an ancestral studies Naval Point Yacht Club course and linking her past to Maori. “Do you know that Tamatea was a commander of one of www.navalpoint.co.nz the seven canoes that brought Maori to ” she said. That’s the ancestral link she has to New Zealand. This links her well to Rapaki. In Maori whakapapa Tamatea is their local mountain. Project Lyttelton This ancestral linkage ensures Christine is very interested in Maori issues for our harbour. At www.lyttelton.net.nz her role at Community House and working with Rodney Rutledge they started to tell the story of Parehaka. Each year Christine organises a memorial service at the Lyttelton Gaol to commemorate this. Whilst a tragic part of New Zealand’s history it is great that the Community House has been able to help tell this story and link our current generation with this important New Zealand event and the significance for the peace movement worldwide. It is amazing how much
