Call for resident parking 

permits across city 

• By Andrew King 

FIRST HE fought for a 

12-month trial for contractors 

to have parking permits, now a 

city councillor wants to extend 

that to residents across the city 

as well. 

City councillor 

Jamie Gough 

(left) wants 

to introduce 

parking permits 

so residents in 

Christchurch 

can park outside 

their home exempt from restricted 

parking time constraints. 

“Parking restrictions are a necessary 

evil, to promote vehicle 

turnover in busy areas, but the 

point of them is not to punish 

the residents that need to park 

in front of their own house for 

longer than the restricted time 

period. I think there’s a better 

way, and it’s pretty straight-forward,” 

he said. 

The permit would overrule any 

parking restrictions on the street 

they live on. 

“Parking is a massive issue in 

the city. I’m not saying this will 

be the great savour but it will 

definitely go a long way to helping 

the situation,” he said. 

Russley resident Ken Legat said 

the permit was a fantastic idea 

PARKING WOES: Restrictions will soon be installed on Harewood Rd meaning residents will not be able to park outside of their 

properties longer than 120 minutes. 

that will start to give residents 

the freedom to park outside their 

properties. 

“Parking is a big problem, especially 

for us, with the inclusion 

of the Airport Business Park and 

its employees needing a space to 

park near their work,” he said. 

Special introductory offer 

Cr Gough said it is a bit of a 

“pet project” of his but it will 

take a while to get off the ground 

because of the work required by 

city council traffic staff and the 

upcoming election. 

The permits would be similar 

to the contractor parking 

permits he campaigned for on 

behalf of a Holmwood Rd resident, 

which allows contractors to 

park exempt from restrictions in 

suburban streets. 

That idea is a month into a trial. 

Cr Gough and fellow councillor 

Raf Manji have asked city

Library construction under way 


GROUND HAS been broken 

and construction has begun on 

the new Bishopdale Community 

Centre and Library. 

Residents and members of the 

Fendalton-Waimairi Community 

Board gathered yesterday to 

watch the first sod being turned 

on the project. 

The Bishopdale Library was 

closed in November 2011 following 

a report that showed it 

would sustain severe damage in 

another earthquake. 

The new facility will be built 

on the on the site of the former 

Bishopdale Creche in Bishopdale 

Mall which is adjacent to the old 

library. 

It will have a combined library 

and community hall joined by 

an atrium. 

The library includes a 330 sq m 

collection space and can also 

open out to a deck. 

The adjacent meeting spaces 

can be booked by community 

groups, and will also be available 

after hours when the library is 

closed. 

Board chairwoman Val Carter 

said the old centre was extremely 

well used and the new one will 

be as well. 

“There are so many community 

groups around Bishopdale 

that will be very excited for this 

space to open,” she said.

said the community was adamant

something he and fellow councillor

well as the whole board. 

“We really dug our toes in 

over this one. We said the community 

needs it and it has to 

happen,” he said. 

It is expected to open in mid- 

2017.

In Brief 

POLICE ACTION WANTED 

Police monitoring is being called 

for on Veitches Rd, Casebrook, 

after city council staff investigated 

vehicle speeds recently. The 

Shirley-Papanui Community 

Board has had recommendation 

to it that a heavier police presence 

is needed in the area. Residents 

asked the board in February to 

investigate the speed of vehicles. 

City council traffic staff put 

counters on the road between 

May 11-19. There were 3714 

vehicles per day and found that a 

number of vehicles were travelling 

over 60km/h in the 50km/h zone. 

EXERCISE FUNDRAISER 

PT in the Park will be fundraising 

for SPCA Canterbury at 9am on

feedback on designs for 

playground equipment beside 

the community hall in Abberley 

Park. Construction is due to begin 

in 2017. To make a comment go

Massive water bypass 

will prevent flooding 

CONTRACTORS working on a 

scheme to reduce flooding in the 

Dudley Creek area will install 

giant box-shaped concrete pipes 

to divert water from the creek 

to the Avon River during heavy 

rain. 

The pre-cast, concrete pipes 

are 4m wide x 2m deep, and will 

be laid end-to-end to form an 

800m long underground bypass. 

Nearly 500 sections of pipe, 

each weighing four to five 

tonnes, will be needed to create 

the bypass, which is part of 

a $48m remediation scheme 

aimed at reducing the risk of 

Dudley Creek flooding. 

When completed in mid-2017, 

the scheme will decrease the risk 

of flooding for more than 585 

properties. 

The piped bypass will run 

south of Petrie St and east along 

Randall and Medway Sts to the 

Avon River. 

Contracting company 

Downer will begin excavating 

the ground and laying the first 

sections of pipes in the next couple 

of weeks. 

They will be working from 

both ends of the bypass route in 

BIG PIPE: City council land drainage manger Keith Davison 

stands inside one of the pieces that will be used to futureproof 

the Dudley Creek area. 

order to progress construction 

as quickly as possible. 

The goal is to have the bypass 

completed by the start of next 

winter. 

City council land drainage 

manager Keith Davison said, 

when completed, the piped bypass 

would be one of the biggest 

in New Zealand. 

It would be dry most of the 

time as it was only designed to 

be used in heavy rainfall events 

when there was a risk of Dudley 

Creek overflowing. 

In those circumstances, it 

would divert water from the 

creek to the Avon River. 

Its size meant it would have 

the capacity to handle over 8 cu 

m of flood water every second. 

“The bypass is a key component 

of the land drainage work 

we are doing in the Dudley 

Creek area and will significantly 

lessen the risk of flooding for 

nearby properties,’’ Mr Davison 

said. 

FLAME FILES 

Don’t be dumb 

• By Mark Thomas – Fire Risk 

Management Officer 

A COUPLE of big fires featured 

in the city this week including 

the widely reported event in the 

Sol Square building that was 

demolished last weekend after 

fire damage completed the work 

that an earthquake started five 

years ago. 

This fire (right) is the latest 

example of the fact that if buildings 

are left empty for years the 

potential for them to be set on 

fire increases every week. 

Particularly those buildings 

that can be accessed easily and 

furtively. 

The incident involved seven 

fire appliances and a command 

unit and tied up resources for 14 

hours. 

The other large fire was the destruction 

of a 100-year-old house 

in Clifton Bay that occurred in 

the early hours of last Sunday. 

Inquiries as to its cause are 

continuing but this was another 

house empty with earthquake 

damage. 

It was the largest fire the Sumner 

Brigade has been faced with 

for some time. 

Also over the week were four 

incidents where people were 

hurt, generally trying to control 

a fire, failing and burning themselves 

in the process or swallowing 

enough smoke to make them 

sick. 

A young man was burnt at a 

party bonfire near the university 

early on Saturday evening. 

He was taken to hospital and 

the fire was put out. 

Only to be lit again after the 

crew departed. 

Two things. 

Alcohol and fire don’t mix 

well. 

And re-lighting a fire after fire 

crews have gone is dumb and 

irresponsible. 

Which takes us back to the 

first thing doesn’t it?

Blessing for St Barnabas 

Quake repairs 

under way 

A SITE blessing ceremony 

was held recently to get repairs 

under way on the historic St 

Barnabas Anglican Church. 

About 200 people gathered 

for the ceremony where Bishop 

Victoria Matthews sprinkled 

holy water around the site 

and inside the church, and 

blessed it. 

The Fendalton Rd church was 

badly damaged in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, and 

services have had to be held in 

the hall since. 

C Lund and Son will carry out 

the work to the Fendalton Rd 

church, which includes repairing 

stonework, strengthening the 

roof connections and corners 

of the building, and injecting 

specialist grout into the core 

of all the walls to increase the 

strength and resilience of the 

building. 

The work would bring the 

church up to at least 67 per cent 

of the New Building Standard, 

to make it safe and secure. 

The category 1 heritage

a memorial church honouring 

those who died in World War 1. 

Central Christchurch MP 

Nicky Wagner, city councillor

spoke at the ceremony. 

A further $400,000 needs 

to be raised to meet the $1.6m 

target.

Church takes 

in another 

congregation 


A CHURCH in north-west 

church is helping another out 

during its time of need. 

The Christchurch North Methodist 

Church has taken 

on community groups and the 

local congregation from 

Bishopdale’s St Margaret’s 

Presbyterian Church which was 

gutted by an alleged arsonist on 

May 15. 

Parish chairman Richard 

Chalkler said it was the least they 

could do. 

They are in a time of need so we 

want to help out as much as we 

can,” he said. 

“We have so many people using 

the space now that it is hard to 

book time in our own church, 

which is a good thing.” 

The Chapel St church was rebuilt 

after the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. 

It’s new building was recently

Our People 

Putting our anti-nuclear stand 

Dr Kate Dewes has been fighting to keep New Zealand 

nuclear-free since her early 20s. She spoke to reporter 

Caitlin Miles about receiving threats for her work, sharing 

a memorable moment with the United Nations secretary 

general in 2011 and her plans to spend more time with 

her family 

Now that New Zealand has been 

nuclear free for nearly 30 years, 

can you tell me why you became 

involved in nuclear disarmament 

work? 

It goes back to 1975. I was a 

23-year-old music teacher at Epsom 

Girls Grammar, and at the time I 

was about to teach the girls a piece 

of music dedicated to the survivors 

of the atomic bomb that was 

dropped on Hiroshima. I wanted to 

learn who the victims were and what 

happened to them and the aftermath 

of it. I was horrified. I decided 

I wanted to go back to university 

and learn about peace studies and 

nuclear disarmament. 

Is that when you decided to 

study in England? 

No university in New Zealand was 

offering a course in peace studies. So 

I had to leave the country to be able 

to do it. I went to Bradford University 

to learn more about peace 

talks, disarmament and what was 

happening around the world. I lived 

in Bradford while I studied and then 

came back here. 

Why did you decide to come 

back to Christchurch? 

Well, I had to. And I was pregnant 

with my first daughter so I wanted 

to settle back here. I also wanted to 

be able to keep working on disarmament 

and promoting peace talks 

within Christchurch and the rest of 

New Zealand. In 1979, I had my first 

daughter and became a founding 

member of the Peace Foundation. 

I ran the Christchurch office from 

home. I still do. 

How was it balancing motherhood 

and work? 

It was tough. I have three 

daughters and I was a solo mum so 

there was a lot to do. It was really a 

balancing act. I never had hired help 

to look after my girls that was part 

of my job. There were other woman 

involved in the Peace Foundation 

so we would take turns baby sitting 

each others kids when we needed 

to do things. I slowed down a bit 

after the earthquakes, though. It was 

more a case that I had to. 

Why was that? 

Our house in Riccarton was 

damaged following the September 

4, 2010, earthquake and all of my 

work and the paper I had written on 

nuclear disarmament, and my PhD 

on peace issues, had to be put into 

storage so they could be kept safe. It 

MEMORABLE: Following the February 22, 2011, earthquake, UN 

secretary general Ban Ki-moon told Dr Dewes that the people 

of Christchurch had his support. 

turned out to be about 120 banana 

boxes of work. Funnily, they were 

stored in the Air Force Museum 

here in Christchurch. 

You got some abuse for what you 

were doing, can you tell me a bit 

about that? 

There were some people that were 

against what we were doing. It was 

the height of the cold war and we 

wanted to educate people as to what 

was going on. I was getting threatening 

phone calls about being attacked 

and some people even came to my 

home. I remember a photo was 

taken of me in the paper with one 

of my daughters sitting on my lap 

and someone said to me, ‘how dare 

you travel and work internationally 

when you have a family!’ I just 

laugh about it. There was a group 

that was against our idea of encouraging 

schools to teach children 

about peace settlements and things. 

Someone from the group against 

what we were doing spoke at a concerned 

parents’ association meeting 

in Hamilton. That’s where I am from 

and my parents were in the audience. 

During the person’s speech, 

he called me a communist, not that 

there was anything wrong with that, 

but at the time that was a rather 

weighted word. My parents were in 

the audience, and my dad stood up 

and said that I was his daughter and 

he defended me. That was a really 

big thing to do. 

Were there many low points? 

It was hard travelling internationally 

and being a solo mum, but I did 

it. When I wasn’t overseas, I worked 

from home so I could manage. 

What do you think are your really 

big personal achievements? 

Being a mother of three daughters 

is a big personal achievement. 

Getting my PhD was another one. 

I was working, being a parent and 

doing my PhD, so I’m really proud 

of that.

on the world stage 

POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT: Former Prime Minister David 

Lange spoke to Dr Dewes about making New Zealand 

nuclear-free and not allowing nuclear weapons to enter the 

country. 

What about moments when you 

have had to pinch yourself? 

There were a few pinch yourself 

moments with all the people I have 

met and things we have managed 

to achieve. I was in the United 

States when I got the news that the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake hit. 

I thought about the house; it didn’t 

do well in the September-quake so 

I was worried it would be gone completely. 

I got all set to head back to 

Christchurch and I called one of my 

daughters and she said, ‘no mum 

stay there, you have some important 

things to do, you need to stay and 

do it’. So I did. In the morning, I saw 

pictures the New York Times had 

of the Cathedral and then I had to 

go and speak at the UN. We were 

standing around before the discussion 

started and someone must have 

told the UN secretary general where 

I was from and he came up to me 

and shook my hand and said, ‘please 

tell the people of Christchurch they 

have my support’. Then he told the 

whole audience at the UN where I 

was from and what had happened to 

my city. I couldn’t speak for several 

moments. I saw what had happened 

at home as an opportunity to get my 

point across. 

What was the point you were 

making? 

If we had a nuclear power centre 

in Christchurch, the effect would 

have been devastating. Especially if 

a tsunami had come through. The 

rest of the country would have been 

in a really horrible situation. The 

Japanese ambassador challenged me 

on what I said. I had no idea several 

weeks later I would be writing him 

letters of support for what had happened 

following the earthquake that 

hit Japan. 

How did you meet your second 

husband? 

I was in Geneva for work in 1992 

and Robert Green was at the same 

convention about peace talks and 

nuclear development. Robert was 

the chair of the United Kingdom 

branch of the World Court Project 

so I gradually got to know him. I 

had to convince him to come to 

New Zealand, as the Government 

were looking at changing a clause to 

the nuclear legislation, so I needed 

to convince him to come to New 

Zealand to speak and make sure 

they didn’t change the legislation. 

When he was in the navy, he carried 

nuclear bombs so he knows what 

he’s talking about and I wanted to 

get him to share his information 

with New Zealand. Soon I had 

people sending me money to help 

get him to New Zealand. 

What do you think of Helen 

Clark running for secretary general? 

AT WORK: Dr Dewes marks 

on a map the areas that 

support a nuclear-free New 

Zealand. 

I think go Helen. I watched the 

debate she was in recently and 

thought she did really well. She has 

the knowledge and experience for 

the job and I think she would do 

really well at it. 

What are you setting your sights 

on for the future? 

Robert and I are trying to wind 

down a bit now, that’s easier said 

than done though. I would really 

like to be able to spend more time 

with my four grand-children, too. 

Christ’s students 

have money 

on their mind 

CHRIST’S COLLEGE is among 

six schools to make it through to 

the finals of a national monetary 

challenge. 

The team will compete in the 

final of the Reserve Bank’s 15th 

Monetary Policy Challenge in 

Wellington on Thursday. 

The challenge is designed to increase 

students’ understanding of 

monetary policy by asking them 

to assess economic conditions 

and make a prediction for the Official 

Cash Rate decision. 

Christ’s will compete against 

Auckland’s Macleans College, 

Auckland Grammar School and 

King’s College, as well as Waikato 

Diocesan School for Girls and 

Scots College, Wellington, in the 

final. 

Each team will have to make an 

oral presentation in the final. 

The winning team will receive 

$2500 for their school and each 

student in the winning team will 

also receive prizes worth $500. 

They would also be invited 

back to the Reserve Bank on 

August 11 to attend the Monetary 

Policy Statement media conference, 

meet the Reserve Bank governor 

Graeme Wheeler and to see 

aspects of the financial markets. 

Auckland’s King’s College took 

out last year’s challenge. 

Final countdown for SCIRT programme 

SCIRT’s five year programme of repairs to pipes, roads, bridges and retaining walls 

is now 92% complete and will finish in December. 

Almost 80% of our repair programme is focused on the city’s underground 

pipe networks. 

SCIRT has replaced 715km of pipes – the distance of a return trip between 

Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing their important job 

below ground. 

Progress in your neighbourhood 

• Fixing the Northern Relief, one of Christchurch’s biggest wastewater pipes running 

through Fendalton, Merivale and St Albans is more than halfway through and will be 

completed at the end of the year. 

• Essential wastewater repairs at the western end of Aikmans Road in Merivale have 

begun and will be completed in the next month. 

• Ongoing repairs to the wastewater networks in Fendalton, Strowan, Papanui and 

Bryndwr are due to finish in September this year. 

• Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the SCIRT team.

Injuries fail to stand in model’s path 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

A NEAR miss from being 

paralysed has encouraged 

a Papanui High School 

student to make most of 

her opportunities and try 

her hand in the modelling 

scene. 

Michaelee-Jayne McDonald, 

16, won the Portfolio 

Model Search 2016 out of 80 

entries. 

Each contestant sent in a 

photo of themselves from 

Facebook or Instagram. 

The winner was selected by 

a panel of judges from the 

Portfolio Model Agency. 

Michaelee-Jayne, who had 

always been interested in 

modelling, said she tried out 

for the competition because 

she wanted to make the 

most of her opportunities. 

The keen surfer’s perspective 

on life completely 

changed last year after an 

accident nearly left her 

paralysed. 

“I was at Sumner and I 

was surfing up to the beach 

to get a drink and I forgot I 

was about 30cm deep and 

I dived off my board headfirst,” 

she said. 

The accident caused her to 

break her jaw, nose and have 

about 80 internal stitches. 

She said the doctors had 

told her she was lucky not to 

be paralysed. The accident 

had opened up her mind to 

getting the most out of life. 

But in spite of the scare, 

Michaelee-Jayne still enjoys 

surfing when she can and 

hopes to edge her way into 

surf and general sports’ 

modelling. 

Not only does Michaelee- 

Jayne surf, she plays competitive 

touch rugby and 

netball for her school. 

On top of her sports 

development, she is taking 

all science options at school 

in the hope of becoming an 

anaesthetist or mechanical 

civil engineer. 

The modelling competition 

was for aspiring models 

aged between 14-21. 

Michaelee-Jayne, along 

with several other finalists, 

were awarded a contract 

with the city’s premier modelling 

agency. 

Agency director Mel 

Radford Brown said the 

standard was high and 

the agency was glad to 

have met the nine finalists 

for the competition last 

week. 

Mrs Radford Brown described 

Michaelee-Jayne as a 

stunning natural beauty. 

“She just stuck out a mile 

away and I think the public 

will really love her, too,” she 

said. 

While Michaelee-Jayne is 

new to the modelling scene, 

she said she is a confident 

person, enjoys having her 

photo taken and is keen to 

learn more. 

She said to anyone else 

wanting to try modelling to 

give it a go. 

“Don’t hold yourself 

back, as cliche as it sounds 

. . . don’t worry about what 

other people think,” she 

said. 

HEALED: After a 

surfing accident 

which nearly left 

near paralysed, 

Michaelee-Jayne 

McDonald has fully 

recovered and has 

been scouted by 

the Portfolio Model 

Agency.

SCHOOLS 

Brave girls shed hair 

Ten brave Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

students took part in the Leukaemia 

& Blood Cancer New Zealand’s 

signature fundraising event, Shave for 

a Cure. 

Four girls shaved their heads while 

six had their ponytails chopped off to 

raise money for the charity. 

They aim was to raise $2000, and so 

far they have $1597 in the bank. 

A spokeswoman said the school 

is very proud of the girls who have 

shown great bravery for a fantastic 

cause. 

LBC is the national charity 

dedicated to supporting patients and 

their families living with a blood 

cancer or a related blood condition. 

#shaveforacurenz fundraising 

contributes towards patient support 

programmes, research, awareness, 

and advocacy. 

If you want to make a donation, 

head to www.shaveforacure.co.nz 

NO FEAR: Hilary Royds (left) had her ponytail cut off while Luka Simmers 

and Jemima Seddon-Smith (bottom right) went for the full head shave 

to raise funds for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer New Zealand. 

FUNDRAISING: Papanui High School students raised more than $1000 at their annual 

Carnival Day recently. Their fundraising efforts over a week totalled more than $1100 

for the DARE program. A school spokesperson said they would like to thank everyone 

involved in the day, which included a massive effort by the student council. 

Students inspect Hilary’s ponytail.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JULY 2016 

February 2016 

earthquake 

response 

With each natural disaster, EQC has increasingly listened 

to customer feedback to improve how it works, says 

EQC February 2016 Event Manager, Jayne Lapin. 

“For the February 2016 earthquakes we are emailing a 

survey to customers to complete two weeks after their claim 

resolution to gauge potential areas for improvement. 

To date, most customers have said their experience of the 

new EQC process was positive or very positive,” she said. 

EQC has taken a different approach to finalising the 13,985 

claims lodged by customers following the Canterbury 

earthquakes of 14 and 29 February, 2016, and the 

aftershocks through March and June. To date EQC has paid 

over $7.8 million to customers for damage claims. 

EQC is reverting back to cash settlements as there is no 

managed repair programme. EQC aims to complete 

assessments for these events sooner, where possible, 

using a claims management approach that EQC customers 

helped design. EQC aims to resolve all claims for these 

2016 Christchurch events by the end of December. 

“One way to achieve this is by phoning customers to get all 

the relevant information up front, before conducting 

assessment. For many claims, damage assessment is done 

over the phone. At its heart is the drive to make EQC easier 

to do business with,” Miss Lapin says. 

This differed from the 2010/2011 Canterbury claims, largely 

because earthquake damage incurred in 2016 quakes was 

minor. Customer payments are averaging $1,000 to $5,000 

per claim. Only two claims were up to $50,000, and no 

claims to date have gone over the EQC cap. 

Seismic monitoring on Mt Ruapehu 

Marking 

GeoNet’s 15th 

birthday 

A message from Dr Hugh Cowan, 

General Manager Reinsurance, 

Research and Education 

This month, GeoNet is celebrating its 

15th anniversary. Most Cantabrians will be 

familiar with the GeoNet app which provides 

instant information about quakes and 

volcanic activity. 

GeoNet uses a network of over 600 sensors 

across New Zealand to detect, analyse and 

respond to earthquakes, volcanic activity 

and other geological hazards. It was 

established in 2001 as a collaboration 

between EQC as investor and GNS as 

technical manager. 

Over the years, GeoNet has been recognised 

internationally as at the leading edge of 

natural hazards monitoring, which is a 

significant bonus for New Zealand given the 

dynamic nature of our region. 

Canterbury’s proximity to the Alpine Fault 

means that it has a large number of sensors. 

The start of the Canterbury earthquake 

sequence triggered further expansion of this 

network, ultimately making the February 

2011 earthquake one of the most 

comprehensively recorded earthquakes in 

urban history. 

The quantity of GeoNet data has delivered 

significant benefits for Canterbury, not least 

in enabling decisions relating to building 

reconstruction, engineering, the behaviour 

of the land, and reinsurance to be informed 

by science. 

Such a wide range of applications in 

Canterbury exemplifies the benefits of EQC’s 

investment which requires GeoNet to make its 

data publicly and freely available. GeoNet’s 

growing and diverse community of users 

extends well beyond EQC and GNS. Land 

surveyors, airline pilots, power and water 

companies and local government all use 

GeoNet data in different ways. 

EQC is proud to have maintained such a 

long-term and successful partnership with 

GNS, providing GeoNet with around $12m 

a year. Late last year, we committed funding 

through to 2021 as part of our research and 

education programme. 

EQC awarded 

costs from 

Action Group 

The Earthquake Commission welcomes 

the High Court’s recent costs decision 

which orders the EQC Action Group to pay 

costs of $4,237 to EQC. 

The costs decision was issued following the 

discontinuation of the Action Group’s 

declaratory judgment application. The Action 

Group sought a series of declarations in 

relation to the obligations of the Commission 

under the EQC Act. 

Chief Executive Ian Simpson says the costs 

decision reaffirms EQC’s position that 

litigation was an unnecessary way to address 

the specific issues concerning the Action 

Group members’ claims. 

Mr Simpson says that EQC remains completely 

focussed on settling outstanding claims in 

Canterbury including those of EQC Action 

Group members. “Any customer can request a 

review of their individual claim if they believe 

EQC has missed earthquake damage 

sustained to their home, if they don’t agree 

with the proposed repair strategy, or if they 

believe the settlement amount is incorrect. 

The process for this is detailed on our website 

and EQC continues to work with our 

customers so they receive what they are 

entitled to and have their claims resolved.” 

Customers wanting to have their claim 

reviewed can call 0800 326 243 (0800 

DAMAGE) or email info@eqc.govt.nz or visit 

www.eqc.govt.nz/about-eqc/makecomplaint. 

In such situations you should 

provide us with details supporting your 

request for a claim review, together with any 

information you have obtained in support of 

your request. 

Support agencies 

for customers 

EQC continues to work with customer advisory 

agencies to progress the settlement of customer claims, 

and answer customer queries. 

Residents can continue to be supported through: 

• Residential Advisory Service, 0800 777 299 

• Canterbury Earthquake Temporary Accommodation 

Service, 0800 673 227 

• Earthquake Support Coordination Service,

ILV community 

meetings on 

EQC invites you to attend one of our community 

meetings for homeowners who have received an 

Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land 

damage settlement based on Diminution of Value. 

The 90-minute meetings will feature: 

• a presentation by EQC’s Head of Canterbury 

Land, Keith Land, on overall approach for 

settling ILV land damage; and 

• a presentation by EQC’s valuers, on the 

valuation assessments which underpin EQC’s 

settlement decisions. 

The presentations will be followed by a Q&A 

session, which will allow you to put questions to 

the presenters. Please note that the meetings are 

not intended for discussion of individual claims. 

All meetings will be held at Beulah Church, 

140 Springfield Rd, St Albans at 7pm on the 

following dates: Wednesday 27 July; 

Monday 22 August; Wednesday 28 September; 

Wednesday 26 October, and Wednesday

Big win for Boys’ High 

SPORTS 

• By Gordon Findlater 

CHRISTCHURCH Boys’ High 

School had a bonus-point win 

after crushing Rangiora High 

School in the 13th round of the 

UC Championship. 

On Saturday, Christchurch 

BHS made light work of 

Rangiora, piling on the points 

in a one-sided 83-13 win. The 

team also handed Bob Letiu 

and Sam Caldwell first XV 

debuts. 

This puts Christchurch BHS 

just two points behind competition 

front runner’s, Christ’s 

College. 

Christ’s were impressive 

against third-place Shirley Boys’ 

High School, running in five 

tries to topple last year’s grandfinalists 

33-10. 

While the race for top spot 

between Christ’s and Christchurch 

BHS is one to watch, the 

battle for the final two play-off 

spots is wide open between 

eight teams. 

Just four competition points 

separate third from 10th position, 

with two rounds remaining. 

St Andrew’s College and St 

Bede’s College are both looking 

to finish in the top four. They 

both won on the weekend. 

St Bede’s beat rival’s St 

Thomas of Canterbury College 

22-12. 

St Bede’s are now three points 

CHASING HARD: Christchurch BHS continued to push for top 

spot in the UC Championship with a dominant 83-13 win over

off the final play-off spot. They 

will have to get the job done 

on the road, when they travel 

to Burnside High School and 

Marlborough Boys’ College to 

finish the round-robin. 

St Andrew’s moved closer to 

the top four with a 51-15 win 

over bottom of the table Roncalli 

College on Saturday. 

The run into the play-offs 

couldn’t be more difficult for 

St Andrew’s. They host Christchurch 

BHS this weekend 

before playing Christ’s.

AUTO CENTRE PAPANUI 

Papanui business a 

beacon for motorists 

The bright yellow building in Bellvue avenue, papanui, just around the 

corner from papanui road has been a welcoming beacon for motorists 

since 1997. 

66 Bellvue Avenue, Papanui 

Phone 03 352 0083 


Now operatiNg as aa auto Centre 

papanui, the business began life in 1997 

in the capable hands of owner Colin 

Downes and his wife Linda as Bellvue 

tyres and incorporating the aa Lube 

franchise. 

“The business grew from there,” 

says Colin, who has now racked up an 

impressive 45 years in the industry. This 

has included running a workshop for 

20 years and managing an aa Service 

Centre. 

The aa auto Centre papanui workshop’s 

two qualified technicians, Max and Brent, 

and the apprentice Mathew, provide the 

full spectrum of mechanical repairs and 

servicing. This includes all mechanical 

work, some diagnostic work, suspension 

work, cam belt replacement, brake checks 

and repairs, lubes, aa batteries, antifreeze 

testing and woF. 

Free written quotes are provided if 

required, and courtesy cars are available 

so customers can carry on with their daily 

life while their vehicle is in the workshop. 

Bellvue tyres still operates from the 

site. Specialising in the highly regarded 

HanKook tyres, they cater for all tyre 

needs including high performance and 

4wD, and tyre repairs. 

“we are a one-stop shop for all 

motoring needs,” says Colin. “we have 

built up a business and a loyal customer 

base because we believe in looking after 

the customer, and in doing it once and 

doing it right. That’s the most important 

thing because today’s cars are expensive 

to repair. 

“our technicians are also long-standing. 

Max has been with us for 17 years, Brent 

11 years and Mathew four and a half 

years. our office administrator Vicky has 

been with us for six and a half years too, 

so they all know our customers well and 

the customers know them.” 

aa auto Service and repairs is a family 

business too, with Colin’s daughter andrea 

having worked on the administration side 

for 17 years. Now having decided to step 

back and enjoy semi-retirement, Colin 

is passing some of the responsibility for 

running the business on to andrea, who 

will play her role in keeping this successful 

operation running smoothly. 

Colin Downes and daughter Andrea keep it in the family.

PAPANUI HIGH SCHOOL 

NEWSLETTER 

Greetings, Tena Koutou Katoa, 

We are now moving into the second half of the year, and 

our students have been doing incredibly well. We have 

much to celebrate and to be proud of. This newsletter will 

give you a glimpse of what has been taking place, and 

showcase a few of our many successes. 

Firstly I would like to acknowledge two key events that 

took place last term: 

Open Night - In May the school held its annual Open 

Night. We are very grateful that approximately 1200 

people from our wider community took the opportunity to 

visit our school, to speak to people, to see the quality of 

our resources available, and to see what makes Papanui 

High School such a wonderful place for students to learn. 

80 student guides and over 250 student helpers in subject 

areas, along with the staff, supported the evening. We 

received exceptionally complimentary feedback, with 

particular reference to the student input on the evening. I 

will be looking forward to welcoming all new students and 

their families/ whānau to our school next year. 

Conference Day - I would like to sincerely thank our 

parents, whānau, and caregivers for supporting the 

annual Academic Counselling Conference Day. With 

just over 90% attendance, the day was an outstanding 

success. Having an opportunity to discuss students’ 

academic progress, and identifying the steps that can 

be taken to support and improve their achievement, is 

critical to their ongoing success. The Conference Day is 

one distinct opportunity when all three parties can actively 

work together to share a common goal. Over the last four 

years, student achievement has steadily increased. As a 

school we are committed to the continuation of this trend. 

Our goal is to ensure all students have the opportunity 

to achieve to the best of their ability, and ultimately gain 

qualifications that underpin their transition to further study 

or employment. 

Our area of Christchurch is a vibrant and growing one. 

Our aim is to be the focal point of education here, and 

we are increasingly becoming a school of first choice. 

We believe this is supported by giving students the 

opportunity to study from an innovative and broad 

curriculum that meets their individual needs. We allow for 

a greater range and flexibility in subject choice including 

the utilization of the secondary/tertiary interface. This 

reinforces the philosophy underpinning personalised 

learning, and is strongly supported by understanding our 

students’ interests, passions, talents, and ultimately, their 

career aspirations. 

The school highly values the connectedness of curricular 

and co-curricular learning. We have a philosophical 

understanding that the holistic development of the student 

is critical to their individual success. All that we do here 

is reinforced by positive relationships, an ethos of caring, 

cultural responsiveness, inclusion, and high expectations 

– what we call “Our Full Service Model”. 

We understand that for effective learning to take place, 

it has to be implemented in such a way that students will 

be highly engaged. The school does this in a ‘forward 

thinking’ way by creating learning environments that 

allow our students to see value in what they do and 

achieve. Papanui “PRIDE” is what we represent and we 

demonstrate this by having young adults leave our school 

as confident learners who have gained the appropriate 

qualifications and social skills to become valued 

contributing members of society. 

We invite you to view our website, school charter, ERO 

report, and/or contact the school for more information at 

any time. 

Jeff Smith 

Principal 

SENIOR FORMAL 

The Papanui High School 

Senior Formal was held 

on Friday July 1, at the 

Foundry, University of 

Canterbury. Approximately 

430 students and 70 staff 

attended, sharing in a 

wonderful sense of occasion. 

The theme of an ‘Autumn Dream’ was realised through the hard 

work of a 20 student formal committee led by Year 13 students 

Johanna Adams and Maddy Colombus and presented in the form 

of hundreds of fairy lights and woodland inspired decorations. 

STAGE CHALLENGE SUCCESS 

117 students were involved in 

this year’s Stage Challenge at 

the Horncastle Arena, where 

our students competed against 

14 other schools. Papanui’s 

powerful performance about 

recycling mobile phones to 

prevent the decline of mountain 

gorillas (Blood in our Hands), 

was outstanding. It thrilled the audience and wowed the judges 

earning them six Excellence Awards out of the nine categories, 

and gaining second place overall. Congratulations to the staff 

and students involved, for all their hard work and outstanding 

achievement. 

EMERGING LEADERS CONFERENCE 

At the end of term we had the opportunity to take 15 of our Year 12 

leadership team to the annual Christ’s College Emerging Leaders 

Conference. The conference challenges students to put themselves 

forward to consider what part they would play in the community, 

and what skills and attributes are required for this engagement to 

be worthwhile and successful. Students participated in a variety of 

workshops 

run by a range of 

local, national, 

and international 

leaders. They were 

also fortunate to 

hear from James 

Castrission and 

Justin Jones, who 

are two Australian 

explorers who 

constantly push 

the boundaries 

of human 

endurance 

CENTRAL OTAGO MUSIC TOUR 

Approximately 45 Music 

students (members of the 

Concert Band, Jazz Band, Jazz 

Ensemble), and staff, took part 

in the Central Otago Music 

Tour from 4th – 7th July. They 

performed at Mountain View 

High School Timaru, Arrowtown 

Primary School, Wakatipu High 

School, Mt Aspiring College, 

Wanaka Primary School, and Cromwell College. 

SPORTING SUCCESS

Aldridge, and Juliet McLauchlan 

who have all made the New 

Zealand Oceania Karate Rep 

team, and will travel to compete 

in New Caledonia in September.

EXTRAVAGANZA WEEK 

The final week of last term was 

Extravaganza Week, with lunchtime

HEALTH & BEAUTY 


Book now to have 

new dentures 

for Christmas 

While it may seem too early to start 

thinking about Christmas, anyone looking 

at getting new dentures fitted before the 

holiday season starts needs to book in 

now, says Ryan Carlton of Dentures Plus 

in innes Road. 

Appointments are filling up over the 

next few weeks, and as the process takes 

several appointments over a few months 

to complete, people are advised to get in 

touch as soon as possible to ensure their 

dentures are settled in by Christmas, Ryan 

advises. 

Patients can approach Dentures Plus 

directly, who will either recommend a 

dentist for teeth extraction or contact 

the patient’s own dentist. The dentures 

are made up before the dentist extracts 

the teeth, as this helps the mouth heal 

faster. The professional approach taken by 

Ryan and his staff ensures that the whole 

process of having dentures fitted goes as 

smoothly as possible. 

Ryan also advises that people with 

existing dentures should have them 

checked every two to three years to make 

sure they are not starting to wear, which 

could cause discomfort in the future. This 

may not be noticeable to the wearer, Ryan 

says, but a free, no-obligation check-up 

will determine if the dentures need some 

attention, or even replacing. 

The team at Dentures Plus specialise 

in all aspects of denture work – from 

making and fitting for first-time wearers, 

relining, which is done after the first few 

months to make sure the new dentures 

are fitting correctly, through to providing 

dentures that clip on to implants, and full 

replacement dentures. 

They provide full follow-up care to 

patients and also supply a range of 

products for denture care. These include 

denture cleaners, brushes and denture 

baths for soaking the dentures. Ryan 

recommends Caldent denture cleaner, as 

it is non-abrasive and effectively removes 

stains, calculus and plaque. 

Dentures Plus, 396 innes Road, is 

open Monday to Thursday 8am-5pm 

and Friday 8am-2pm. to make an 

appointment, phone 385 5517. 

Ryan also advises that 

people with existing 

dentures should have 

them checked every 

two to three years sure 

they are not starting 

to wear, which could 

cause discomfort 

in the future.

PHIL'S NEW ALBUM 

IS NEARLY HERE! 

FOLLOWING on from his debut release, Stone & Wood, 

Phil Doublet is set to release his second album, Endless 

Highway. 

"I can't tell you how exciting this is," exclaims Phil. "The new 

album is nearly here, and the preparations for the album 

launch marking its official release are underway." 

Well recognised in country music circles both here and 

overseas, Phil is an accomplished guitarist-vocalist who has 

been developing his skills for almost 3 decades in concert, 

studio and "just jamming around at home". 

He has claimed many music awards over the years with his 

most recent being Male Artist of the Year 2014 at the National 

Country Music Awards. 

A strong ambassador for original music, Phil is front man 

for the regular local event, 'Songwriters in the Round'. Taking 

place towards the end of each month at Alvarado's on Stevens 

St, each round showcases three songwriters with acoustic 

interpretations of their music. 

Phil launches his new album Endless Highway at Kaiapoi 

High School on Saturday 27th August 

along with special guests The 

Ranchsliders, Dani Rigby, and Lana 

Doublet. 

Tickets are available now exclusively 

at Music Works, South City, Colombo 

St. (cash only).
