Jetty named for top yachtsman
A famous son of Waitakere City has been confirmed as the “name” of a soon-to-be-built Waitakere Sports Complex Jetty.
Olympic yachtsman Chris Timms, tragically killed in an air crash last year, was confirmed as the Council’s choice for the future jetty, in recognition of his contribution to the City and as a tribute to his achievements.
“Chris was an extraordinary character whose energy and enthusiasm for life was infectious.
“Apart from his sporting prowess, he was the inventor of the Timms’ trap which humanely kills opossums, a community board member, an aviator and a renowned rhododendron specialist,” says Councillor Ross Dallow.
