ANDRE CHUMKO

Robert Ashe wants alternatives to a 1080 aerial drop over the East Harbour Regional Park and Orongorongo Valley to be considered. The deputy chairman of the Eastbourne Com- munity Board said the board had a ‘‘cautious approach’’ towards the possum control operation scheduled for September because the proposed drop zone was not in the remote backblocks. One alternative he wanted to push was use of ground based trapping and poisoning techniques carried out by locals instead of a helicopter-drop of bulk poisoned pellets. ‘‘It’s quite unusual, I think, that [Operational Solutions for Primary Industries] are proposing to do an aerial drop of 1080 in front country which is reasonably accessible on foot. ‘‘I would be really upset if any of those pellets fell on [the Eastbourne] side of the hill. ‘‘I’d like to push back and say let’s do this the best way rather than do it in a haphazard way…That way there is a lot less collateral dam- age,’’ he said. OSPRI is a not-for-profit company funded by DairyNZ, Beef+ Lamb New Zealand, Deer Industry New Zealand and the government. The proposed Orongorongo operation is part of its efforts to eradicate bovine tuberculosis – a disease spread to cattle by infected possums – from New Zealand by 2055. OSPRI Communications Manager Oliver Bates said exact dates for the local operation were still being finalised. Contractors were determining the size of the control area, as well as exclusion zones. Bates said the proposed area included parts of the East Harbour park where council staff and volunteers had been performing possum control since 1933, and the Orongorongo Valley, where groups such as the Moa Conservation Trust had been actively trapping. However, the wider southern Rimutaka area had not been treated with an aerial drop before. OSPRI said community consultation and public meetings are scheduled but Ashe said the East- bourne board had not been formally approached yet. Volunteer trappers with MIRO (Mainland Island Restoration Operation) have run long SPEED UP RESULTS possum, rat and stoat trapping lines on the East- bourne side of the regional park for many year. Spokesperson Parker Jones said the group had 30MINUTE CLASSES ‘‘no issue’’ with the aerial 1080 drop as it would benefit local flora and fauna. OSPRI said residents within and adjacent to the proposed control area can expect to be contacted and visited by contractors in the near future.

SIMON EDWARDS

Fewer car parks, an ugly retaining wall and greater intrusion of concrete into the Riddiford Gar- dens will be the result if draft plans for the area adjacent to the new Events Centre are followed. Heart of the Hutt, the group that led the successful campaign to save the town hall from demo- lition, have attacked plans to reorient the existing carpark so that it lines up with the back of the new Events Centre rather than Laings Rd. Levelling it out so that it matches the floor level of the town hall/Events Centre will require a 3-metre retaining wall, ‘‘casting shadow and creating a long, nar- row, dark and unhappy space beneath,’’ Heart of the Hutt’s Jenny Sands said. From 86 existing carparks, a concept plan dated February 24 shows the reoriented carpark would have only 41 spaces. The carpark work represents at least a $1 million chunk of the $3.5m extra for Riddiford Gardens work and paving around the Events Centre/town hall that the city council is currently consulting residents on.

NICHOLAS BOYACK

Petone retained the McBain Shield on Sunday in a classic game of quality club rugby. With so many players heading overseas at the start of every season and veterans a rarity in club rugby, it is easy to be gloomy about the game’s future. But in beating Hutt Old Boys Marist 27-20, Petone showed why All Black and Super rugby is so strong. HOBM began the game well and led 13-nil at the break thanks to a try to lock Lui Okeamoa- Laumanu. Captain and hooker James O’Reilly had a big 40 minutes and a neutral observer would have picked HOBM to run out easy winners. The game turned, however, with the sin binning of Alex Time and Petone grabbed two tries. More importantly, their young backline gained confidence and began to play inspired rugby. The lead sea-sawed but the match was decided with a try to Petone on the very last play of the day. Petone camped on the HOBM line and attacked relentlessly through the forwards before getting the ball out wide for winger Willie Fine to dive over.
