Saturday, April 22, 2017 NORTH CANTERBURY’S BEST READ COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER Sooner is better
As many of our readers will be aware, NZ Post has changed its rural delivery from the beginning of April. This would have meant a sig- nificant portion of our readers wouldn’t get their weekend edition of the Northern Outlook until Monday. As a solution, we’re changing our publication and delivery day to ensure none of our community miss out. From May 5, the Northern Out- look Saturday edition will become a Friday edition. Our midweek edition will still have all the action from the week- end, including sport coverage, and start off the week with local news and photos, wonderful recipes and health advice from our columnists, as well as our Prop- erty Outlook liftout with hun- dreds of homes for sale plus the weekend’s Open Homes. The Friday edition will bring you all the news, views and images from around the region, and the bumper list of what’s happening over the weekend so The Women’s Section of Rangiora RSA prepare the poppies ahead of the street appeal. EMMA DANGERFIELD/FAIRFAX NZ you can plan, prepare and be informed - a day early!

Historic pay rise for aged care
HEALTH
The Government’s announcement of a $2 billion package to address the pay inequity in the predominantly female aged care sector has been welcomed by Grey Power North Canterbury. President Miles Jackson said the package would address a long standing underpayment for people who work in the aged care sector. ‘‘This is demanding and diffi- cult work, usually and tradition- ally – but not exclusively – undertaken by women,’’ Jackson said. ‘‘There was never any justifi- cation for people in this essential role to be so poorly paid.’’ The package will see more than 55,000 workers receive a minimum pay rise of $4 an hour, going up as much as $7 an hour in some cases. The increase will take immedi- ate effect on June 1 and cost the The New Zealand Defence Force’s (NZDF) Youth Development Unit (YDU) South will support Anzac Day services in Hanmer Springs again this year.

MATTHEW SALMONS
Thirteen bridges in the Hurunui district have been ranked as high priority for detailed investi- gation following post-earthquake inspections by Opus and Fulton Hogan. A report to the Hurunui District Council (HDC) said the bridges suffered significant damage in the November 14 quakes. The report also detailed 25 bridges having suffered minor damage and 11 having received less than minor damage, or not ‘‘visually damaged at all’’. The rankings would dictate the timeline for further investigations into the repair work. HDC infrastructure services and assets man- ager David Edge said the primary focus after the earthquake was to provide access to all roads in the district as soon as possible. ‘‘Especially if there were any cases of com- munity isolation as a result of there being no alternative access/exit route available.’’ The bridges which suffered higher levels of damage would have weight and speed restrictions on them until fully assessed, and possible remedial works undertaken, Edge said. The ‘‘rough order’’ of repair costs for the bridges was $7.2 million. ‘‘To get the bridges back up to scratch will require forbearance, prudent assessments, invest- ment commitment, procurement, quality control and an element of relief from any further natural disasters.’’ The cost would include investigation, assess- ment, remedial design, contracts, tendering and physical work, Edge said. ‘‘Any works identified that may require bridge closures will be done in engagement and consul- tation with affected property owners and stakeholders for most appropriate timing of these works. Where any proposed remedial bridge clos- ure exceeds a reasonable closure time period, then an alternative ford crossing will be considered for ongoing access, if physically practical,’’ he said. The physical work was targeted to start this year and run through to 2019, subject to New Zea- land Transport Agency approval and funding. The bridges on the Inland Road from Red Post Corner up to Kaikoura SH1 and including the Waiau River Bridge are covered by the North Can- terbury Transport Infrastructure Recovery alliance.

Owner Rodger Strongsaid abandoning the building was an option if repair costs were too high . ‘‘We believe it’s probably going to be the outcome unless a fairy godmother comes along and says ‘we have money for it’’’.

JONATHAN LEASK
The Rangiora High School 1st XV will take plenty of positives from their pre-season efforts as they head into UC Championship rugby competition next week. Their last pre-season match was their first at home and they ran out 24-5 winners over Central Southland College. Although they completed four wins from five preseason fixtures, there is still plenty of work to be done.
