This parallel route would free up both the congested highway and local roads. The Environment Court approved the designation for the road in 2002. There were two appeals to this decision, which were heard in the High Court in March 2003. The appeal was upheld in part (four of the nine points) with the matter referred back to the Environment Court. A further hearing, held in July, dismissed the appeals.

  • The Little River Railtrail – an Update on Progress
    The Little River Railtrail – An update on progress Author: Chris Freear Chair – Christchurch to Little River Rail Trail Trust www.littleriverrailtrail.org.nz [email protected] Abstract At the 2005 conference I reported on the establishment and vision of The Christchurch to Little River Rail Trail Charitable Trust. Since that time we have seen two sections open and commence operation, with 26km of its final 44 km in length in daily use it seemed timely to provide delegates with an update of progress with the project which received first place in the “Best cycle facility project” section of the SPRC cycle friendly awards in 2006. Chris Freear is the Chair of the Little River Railtrail Charitable Trust, which was established to raise the funds and facilitate the establishment of the Trail. He is also the president of Kiwi HPV Inc. the national body for the promotion and development of Human Powered Vehicles. Opening Day 1 Brief History “It’s taken 10 years but the project is now an overnight success.” The Little River Railtrail is a combined walkway/cycleway from Christchurch to Little River following the alignment of the original rail line where practical. The concept was reborn (the initial study and recommendation for a walkway/cycleway dates back to the mid 1970’s) as a “new millennium” project and was developed by a working group involving Environment Canterbury, local councils (Christchurch City, Selwyn District and Banks Peninsula District ) the Department of Conservation, Transit New Zealand, Community Associations and other interested parties. The working group was established in 2000 and was principally concerned with establishing if support for the project existed and identifying a viable route.
