Forestry felling plan above subdivision raises concerns for residents

Nadine Porter05:00, Apr 30 2021 CHRIS SKELTON Residents in a rural Christchurch subdivision are worried about the potential effects of logging from a forestry block above their homes. Residents in a rural Christchurch subdivision fear waterway contamination from sediment runoff and possible flooding if consent to harvest trees in a forestry block behind their homes is granted. Rocklands homeowner Geoff Mavromatis said while the 21 Tai Tapu residents were not against the three landowners felling sixty hectares of pine trees, they wanted to ensure the site was monitored and maintained to prevent any runoff. Forestry contractor PF Olsen confirmed to Stuff it had lodged a consent with the Selwyn District Council to fell the trees and hoped to harvest them in October.

Tonnes of slash (logging off-cuts) washed down a stream that ran through the farm, flattening fences and ruining grazing paddocks. Logs and sediment also washed into Lyttleton Harbour. George Heard/Stuff Philip King's farm on the Banks Peninsula was littered by logs and slash (logging off-cuts) in 2017 after a heavy rainfall.
