New Brighton library is back 

TWO-YEAR-OLD Henry 

Ridpath was first in line to sign 

up when the New Brighton 

Library reopened on Monday 

morning. 

With a little help from his 

mum, Amy Ridpath, Henry 

got a membership card and the 

opportunity to look around the 

newly repaired library. 

The library, on Marine Pde, 

was closed for more than six 

months so earthquake repairs 

could be completed. 

The building sustained moderate 

damage in the February 

22, 2011, earthquake, and work 

included repairs to the concrete 

columns and floors, replacement 

of the east-facing first floor 

windows, external painting and 

new carpet. 

While it was closed, the library 

was temporarily relocated 

in the New Brighton pedestrian 

mall. 

City council libraries and 

information unit manager 

Carolyn Robertson said the 

library was the first in a series 

of openings the city council had 

lined up for the year. 

The next library to reopen 

after earthquake repairs will be 

Lyttelton Library and Customer 

Services on March 13. 

New Brighton Library is open 

9am-6pm weekdays, and 10am- 

4pm Saturday and Sunday.

THE SOUTH Brighton 

Residents’ Association wants 

to know what happened to 

earthquake donations for the 

eastern suburbs. 

They have submitted a comprehensive 

letter to the Coastal- 

Burwood Community Board 

asking it to find out from the city 

council exactly where donations 

and insurance claims have been 

spent following the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

Board chairwoman Kim 

Money said the board and council 

staff were already looking into 

the spending before the association 

raised its questions. 

Funds queried include a $1.5 

million donation from the Auckland 

Council to restore green 

spaces in the eastern suburbs, 

of which only $15,000 has been 

spent in New Brighton. 

There was also $5 million donated 

by an anonymous source to 

the “children of the eastern suburbs,” 

which was put in the care 

of the Christchurch Earthquake 

Appeal Trust. 

While the $5 million has been 

allocated, the association questioned 

whether or not interest 

was being collected on the more 

than $3 million that is still set 

aside for an aquatic centre. 

Association chairman Hugo 

Kristinsson is also questioning 

the city council about specific 

information on its insurance 

claims, and what has been respent 

in the eastern suburbs, 

Mrs Money said questions 

about the insurance claims were 

very valid and the board wants to 

get back to the association in as 

much detail as possible to answer 

all their questions. 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams has also filed an Official 

Information Act request on the 

spending as well.

THE EASTERN suburbs have 

got a top advocate in Hugo 

Kristinsson. 

He does polarise people but 

whichever way you look at it he is 

passionate about the east, and in 

particular South Brighton. 

Hugo, chairman of the South 

Brighton Residents’ Association, 

wants to know if monies donated 

after the 2011 earthquake have 

in fact found their way into the 

eastern suburbs. 

No one is saying it hasn’t, but 

the community needs people like 

Hugo to get the ball rolling and 

keep the powers-that-be on their 

toes. 

The Linwood Keas have got 

the rugby league season off to 

a good start with victory in the 

Crosbie Nines. It was prop Chris 

Bamford’s last outing - he’s off to 

Orange in New South Wales. 

We wish him all the best.

Controversial contractor 

vacates Richmond yard 


A CONTRACTING company 

which had Richmond residents 

up in arms has now vacated its 

site. 

Worthington Contracting 

had occupied the yard in Guild 

St since the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake, after 

the Government 

put emergency 

legislation in place 

allowing contractors 

access to residential 

Russell 

Worthington 

areas. 

After nearly six 

years, residents 

were ready to see the back of 

the company and laid several 

complaints about dust plumes 

and sediment to Environment 

Canterbury. 

However, after a “collaborative 

conversation” between 

neighbours and the company, 

Worthington Contracting has 

now found a new home in North 

Canterbury. 

Founder Russell Worthington 

said they weren’t there to annoy 

the residents, it was a matter of 

proximity to their jobs, which 

have largely been in the east of 

GONE: Worthington Contractors has moved away from this 

suburban Richmond site to a new location in North Canterbury. 

the city. 

“We’re listening to what they’re 

saying,” he said. The company 

has now moved away from the 

area. 

Although it had the city 

council’s support to stay in 

the Guild St location, Mr 

Worthington said “we just were 

trying to be human about it.” 

CHANGES: The city council has changed its plan to landscape 

Edmonds Park for flood mitigation work. 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

No go for Edmonds Park path 

• By Caitlin Miles 

A PATHWAY will not be 

installed at Edmonds Park due 

to neighbours concerns that 

it would be hidden during the 

night time. 

As part of Bells Creek flood 

mitigation work, the park in 

Woolston is being developed to 

help ease flooding in the area. 

The city council’s Land 

Drainage Recovery Programme 

investigated options for flood 

mitigation in Bells Creek and 

recommend a package of works 

to reduce flooding. 

Stage one includes a new detention 

pond within the northern 

half of Edmonds Park where 

the sports fields are currently 

located. 

By realigning the creek to run 

through Edmonds Park, it will 

ease flooding in the surrounding 

properties. The section of park 

planned for the dry channel was 

chosen as it is currently not used. 

A sealed footpath on the 

southern side of the landscape 

planting was also planned to 

provide access from Aldwins Rd 

into the park. 

A small wooden footbridge 

across the realigned Bells Creek 

at the eastern side of the park 

would allow pedestrians to 

cross from the northern to the 

southern side of the creek. 

Councillor Yani Johanson said 

nearby residents were worried 

about safety if the path was not 

well lit during the night and 

wanted to see it changed. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

had originally signed off on the 

landscaping plans but the project 

team assigned to the work 

had met with nearby residents 

and decided not to install the 

pathway to ease their concerns.

Brighton’s big day out 


MORE THAN 6000 people 

joined in the community spirit 

at Waitangi Day’s I love New 

Brighton festival. 

More than 100 volunteers 

from 30 different community 

groups provided free activities 

for residents, including face 

painting, a petting zoo, remote 

controlled cars, the police 

physical training course, doubledecker 

bus rides and a showcase 

of live music and cultural performances. 

Sherianne Summer Taonga 

said it was a great day for her 

kids and she goes every year. 

Started in 2011, as a community 

spirit-raising response 

to the earthquake, the festival 

has grown in attendance every 

year and for this event the trend 

wasn’t broken. 

Youth Alive Trust manager, 

James Ridpath said events such 

as the festival show there is a 

misconception about people 

leaving the New Brighton area. 

“This event helps prove to 

ourselves and the rest of the city 

that we’re still very much alive and 

active. Events such as this build 

community pride and only people 

who live or work in New Brighton 

know why we love it so much.” 

Hellers donated 1000 sausages 

for a free barbecue which Leah 

Young said was cooked for 

the eager public by the New 

Brighton Scouts. 

The event was put together 

by Youth Alive Trust, Rawhiti 

Community Sports Inc, New 

Brighton Project and Wellbeing 

New Brighton with the support 

of the Burwood Pegasus Ward 

community recreation advisers. 

Rawhiti Community Sports’ 

Hannah Hill said: “It was great 

to see thousands of people interacting 

with our local groups and 

organisations . . . it’s all about 

building community spirit and 

in New Brighton we have it in 

abundance.”

Lawrence shows he still has 

Three north-west gardens have won awards 

at the Christchurch Beautifying Association 

summer garden competition. Julia Evans reports 

NORTHWOOD’S Peter 

Lawrence had a bulldozer 

through his property early last 

year but downsizing hasn’t 

stopped him from adding 

another premier garden award to 

his 80-strong collection. 

Mr Lawrence won four awards 

in the Christchurch Beautifying 

Association’s summer garden 

competition, including the Ruske 

and Walsh cups for garden cultivation 

and maintenance. 

His new garden still looked 

“pretty good” but he was surprised 

to win the association’s 

top award, the Ruske Cup. 

Behind his modesty, a lot 

of time is spent creating and 

maintaining his gardens. Mr 

Lawrence said he is out there 

each day. 

“Starting with a water first 

thing each morning . . . every day 

is a new challenge.” 

Mr Lawrence said it was “good 

for the community and good for 

the individual” to take pride in 

their garden, especially because 

Christchurch is the garden city. 

In between maintaining his 

own property, Mr Lawrence also 

runs a gardening club and has 

judged the street and garden 

awards across the city. 

Association president 

Ron Andrew said in spite of 

downsizing his garden by 

half, Mr Lawrence deserved the 

win. 

“He sets an example for the 

other members and the standard 

is extremely high,” Mr Andrew 

said. 

Although Mr Lawrence wins 

a lot of awards, new gardeners 

were not discouraged from 

entering the garden competition. 

There were more entries this year 

than any other. 

Northwood residents Janet 

and Brian Lovelock also won 

seven awards in the competition. 

This included the best display 

of flowers and colour impact; 

outdoor living; residential 

driveway display and the 

continuing standard awards. 

Mrs Lovelock said they were 

thrilled to have won. 

Since retiring, the pair have 

spent all their time together 

in the garden, but that doesn’t 

always make for a relaxing day. 

“It’s full pressure, but it’s 

still enjoyable or we wouldn’t 

compete,” said Mrs Lovelock. 

For them, the real beauty 

comes from encouraging new 

gardeners, and Mrs Lovelock 

said if their garden inspires other 

people “it’s worth it.” 

They have been competing in 

the garden competition for six 

years since moving into their 

new house but have already lost 

count of the awards they’ve won. 

Another north-west resident, 

Peter Van der Zee, also won a 

pair of awards. 

His gold in the best tree/ 

shrub category and silver in the 

Herbert Cup will now sit next 

to Mr Van der Zee’s 251 other 

gardening awards collected over 

the past 30 years. 

Although he has a massive 

collection of gardening titles, Mr 

Van der Zee said winning now is 

still as exciting as when he won

his first award, which was for 

best novice garden. 

He spends a few hours every 

day in his garden and said the 

awards are “just the icing on the 

cake” to his favourite past time. 

Gardening was a passion of his 

which was passed down from his 

grandfather and parents. 

Mr Van der Zee said he will 

buy a drink for anyone who can 

spot his grandfather’s old push 

mower still hidden in his garden.

PEGASUS POST 

Keas win in Bamford’s send off 

• By Gordon Findlater 

THE LINWOOD Keas saw 

off former Canterbury Bulls 

captain Chris Bamford in style 

by winning the Crosbie Nines on 

Saturday. 

The Keas 17-12 win over the 

Hornby Panthers in the final was 

Bamford’s (left) last for the club. 

He left for Australia yesterday to 

play for Orange CYMS in New 

South Wales. 

“It was a good way to send him 

off,” said Keas coach Andrew 

Auimatagi. 

Bamford and the Keas made it a 

perfect fortnight in the nine-man 

game, backing up their win in the 

Rolleston Nines last month with 

a perfect run of results at Crosbie 

Park. 

The Keas went unbeaten in the 

morning pool play, accounting 

for the Riccarton Knights 23-0, 

the Aoraki Eels 35-14 and the 

Halswell Hornets 17-15. 

They then defeated the 

Celebration Lions 23-8 in the 

quarter-final before a rematch 

with the Hornets in the semifinal. 

The encounter was just as 

close as their pool play encounter 

with the Keas prevailing 15-12. It 

also doubled as a rematch of the 

Rolleston Nines final. 

The Hornets made their way 

to the semi-final courtesy of 

an impressive 25-18 win over 

defending champions the Papanui 

Tigers in the quarter-finals. 

“I was really impressed with 

Halswell. They’ve struggled a 

bit recently in the 13-man game 

but they’ve got a really tight-knit 

bunch and they had a couple of 

new recruits playing really well,” 

said Auimatagi. 

The Keas then met the Panthers 

in the final. The Panthers defeated 

Nelson Combined 23-13, and the 

Aranui Eagles 10-0, on their way 

to the final match. 

In a rematch of last year’s club 

final, the Keas once again proved 

too strong for the Panthers. 

“It was really pleasing after a 

long day,” said Auimatagi 

“It’s tough to get through six 

games but the boys dug deep and 

got the result we wanted.” 

Keas prop Alex Todd was 

named Crosbie Nines’ MVP, 

while Panthers lock Corey Lawrie 

was named MVP in the grandfinal 

game. 

The Keas will now turn their 

attention to defending the Pat 

Smith Trophy in the Canterbury 

club competition which starts on 

April 1. 

Falck books ticket to Davis Cup 

• By Gordon Findlater 

BURWOOD PARK’S Reece 

Falck has been named in the 

New Zealand Junior Davis Cup 

team. 

Falck, 14, will travel to New 

Delhi, India, for the Asia/ 

Oceania event, which runs from 

March 11-19. 

The Shirley Boys’ High School 

student is the youngest member 

of the three-man New Zealand 

team, which includes Hutt Valley 

student George Stoup, 15, 

and Auckland’s Chris Zhang, 15. 

Falck’s spot in the squad 

comes on the back of winning 

the national 14 and under title in 

Auckland last month. 

“I was hopeful of making it 

this year, it’s really exciting,” he 

said. 

Before heading to New Delhi, 

the New Zealand team will visit 

Thailand, where they will have 

the chance to play in the LTAT 

ITF grade one tournament 

in early March. It is the only 

grade one junior tournament 

in Asia during the month and 

will feature some of the world’s 

best under-18 players, including 

junior world No 2 Yibing Wu 

from China. 

“It’s going to be pretty hard 

even just to qualify there 

because it’s grade one. I didn’t 

play that well at my first ITF in 

Christchurch last month because 

I was pretty tired after all of the 

national tournaments,” said 

Falck. 

The Junior Davis Cup, an 

international team competition 

for players aged 16 and under, 

was launched by the ITF in 

1985. New Zealand will have the 

chance to qualify for the World 

Group Finals in Hungary if they 

EXPOSURE: Reece 

Falck will have 

the opportunity to 

play some of Asia/ 

Oceania’s top players 

at the Junior Davis Cup. 

finish as one of the top four 

teams in New Delhi. 

The junior team will hope 

they have more luck than the 

senior Davis Cup team who were 

beaten 4-1 by India in their Asia/ 

Oceania group one tie earlier 

this month. 

Falck, who is coached by his 

father Andrew, had a fortnight 

to remember in January. 

He won the 14 and under 

nationals, defeating No 1 seed 

Nick Beamish 6-0, 6-2, in the final. 

He then helped Canterbury 

to victory in the 14 and under 

teams event, beating Auckland 

5-4 in the final. 

Before that, Falck made it to 

the second round of the 16 and 

under nationals at Wilding Park 

before being beaten 5-7, 6-4, 1-6, 

by Stoupe. 

Falck leaves for Thailand and 

India early next month.

How do we grow vegetables?? 

2016 saw a group of Year 10 students working 3 hours a week for 5 weeks to plan 

and create a garden! 

We visited Cultivate Christchurch Urban Garden who gave us so much information 

and help with our ideas. So it was back to school where 3 students were 

responsible for planning, purchasing and installing an irrigation system while 12 

students built wooden planter boxes and planted seeds and seedlings in these and 

some empty baths. 

Uniform update 

After several months of staff, family and student deliberation, the student 

council has selected a winter jacket which is now part of our uniform. 

The jacket is unisex with a hidden hood, waterproof outer and thermal inner. 

Jackets are available from the school at a cost of $85.00. Payments can be made 

by cash, EFTPOS or layby. 

Lettuces, cabbages, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, zucchini, peas, celery, a lemon 

tree, herbs, flowers and a grapevine are now flourishing (amongst the weeds that 

have grown over the Christmas holiday period!!) We have had many kind donations 

that have allowed this to happen – Oderings, Fusion Solutions, The Warehouse, 

Willowbank, and Mairehau High School Environment Committee – Many thanks! 

The garden is part of cross-curricular learning which introduces students to 

valuable life-long skills.

KIDSTUFF 

Progress counts 

in maths class 

News 

PEGASUS POST 

If you’re a parent of school-aged children, chances are 

that there is a subject they just don’t like. And for many 

kids, that subject is maths. 

Like many parents, Dale and Kirsty found that their 

daughter Sayler, 8, just didn’t understand maths and it 

was proving difficult to keep up at school. So, Dale and 

Kirsty decided it was time to give Sayler that extra help she 

needed and enrolled her in the Kumon Maths Programme 

at their local centre in Fendalton. It was during the August 

Free Trial, and so they decided to see if their older son Zach 

might enjoy Kumon Maths also. 

Six months later and both children are still doing daily 

worksheets with Kumon. Maths is now one of Zach’s 

favourite subjects and Sayler has demonstrated a real 

motivation for improving in her studies. That Kumon 

worksheets are timed makes this easy for Sayler to see, ‘She 

is really keen to beat her time. I think having those little 

goals certainly help’ said Dale. 

A sense of achievement can go a long way when it comes 

to engaging with maths. ‘Everyone likes it when they have 

success, don’t they? Being able to see that progress is great’ 

said Kirsty. 

‘Kumon focuses on maths skills - exclusively and 

expertly’ said Marette Wells who runs the Kumon 

Fendalton Education Centre. ‘The ability of the student 

does not matter; Kumon brings confidence as they grow 

into their potential’. 

Kumon follows a method that develops self-learning in 

children which is important to parents like Kirsty. ‘I think 

it’s really important that our children know that if they 

need to find out how to do something then they have the 

skills to work it out.’ 

For more information contact your local Kumon 

Education Centre or visit our website nz.kumonglobal.com 

Back to school with confidence 

At Kumon, students begin study at a level that allows them to build 

confidence from day one. Students progress through the programmes 

based on their ability rather than their age. Over time, students can study 

advanced material confidently and independently for success in school 

and everyday life. 

Contact your local Kumon Centre to hear how we can support your 

child’s learning.

FAST: Vodafone has erected a 20m monopole at Burwood Hospital to improve 

its coverage and high-speed broadband. 

Burwood Hospital

PATIENTS AND families 

at Burwood Hospital are 

about to have their lives 

made easier, with a brand 

new 4G cell site vastly 

improving coverage and 

high-speed broadband to 

the state-of-the-art health 

facility. 

The site will radically 

transform the hospital’s 

access to communication 

services, with employees, 

patients and visitors benefiting 

from greater connectivity 

over Vodafone’s 

4G network. 

Vodafone technology 

director Tony Baird said:

CHRISTCHURCH Bull 

Breed Rescue has been 

offered a free vehicle for six 

months while it fundraises 

to buy its own. 

The Woolston charitable 

organisation which rescues 

and re-homes bull-breed 

dogs is raising money to 

buy a new vehicle. 

Founder Abbey van der 

Plas said volunteers had 

been using her own car – 

but it had recently broken 

down. 

“Because I’m a volunteer, 

I just don’t have the funds 

to repair it or replace it,” 

stressful places for patients 

and visitors, so it’s important 

that they can easily 

communicate with family 

and friends. 

“The new 4G site will 

enable Vodafone customers 

to instantaneously load 

web pages, stream the 

latest movies and music 

without delay and keep on 

top of life admin, all from 

the comfort of their bed 

while they recover,” Mr 

Baird said. 

Hospital staff will also 

notice a difference with 

improved mobile data 

speeds and coverage, 

enhanced voice quality 

she said. 

Cars Under $7990 owner 

Hamish Cross has offered 

the organisation a Toyota 

station wagon for six 

months until it had raised 

enough money to buy its 

own. 

“That’s an amazingly 

generous offer. He is a 

really big fan of what we 

do.” 

and better signal strength 

for calls and texts, increasing 

the ability for faster 

turnaround of important 

medical information. 

Burwood Hospital’s 

post-quake rebuild has 

meant it now measures 

32,000 sq m over three 

floors with the footprint of 

two rugby fields. 

To enable better connectivity, 

Vodafone has 

erected a 20m monopole in 

the carpark of the hospital, 

custom-built to transmit 

long, low wave frequencies, 

ensuring the highest possible 

penetration through 

thick hospital walls. 

Dog rescue charity in 

need of new wheels 

Ms van der Plas said the 

offer gave her more time to 

raise the $10,000 needed to 

buy either a van or double 

cab ute, and modify it so it 

could carry dogs securely. 

She said they used a 

vehicle everyday, whether 

it be picking up dogs, 

dropping them off at 

the vet, or taking food 

or supplies to the foster 

families. 

So far, the Givealittle 

page she set up had raised 

nearly $2000.

When good pain goes bad 

Without pain we would not live very long, pain alerts us to 

tissue damage, it makes us hypervigilant, looking after the part 

to prevent further damage and allowing repair and healing. For 

example limping after rolling an ankle takes load off that part. 

The understanding of how pain works 

has improved hugely over the last few 

years. Up until the 1970’s a relatively 

simple Cartesian model of pain persisted 

where, it was thought, pain receptors in 

the skin sent messages to a pain centre in 

the brain which resulted in some action 

to avoid further damage. However this 

did not explain how some people could 

experience pain long after the tissues had 

healed or the body part was absent after 

amputation. 

It is now known that pain is a product 

of our brain and spinal cord, not of tissue 

damage, nerves merely carry messages 

regarding the state of our tissues to the 

brain which decides if those signals are 

something to worry about or not. 

Whether or not something feels painful 

or not depends on many factors not just 

tissue damage, sometimes our pain can 

outlast the healing of the injury or feel 

worse than it should for the degree of 

harm done to the body. 

Through various mechanisms our brain 

can turn the pain up or down. If we are 

fearful of the what may be causing the pain 

it will be worse, for example “my mother 

had a pain just like this and she had 

cancer” or “I wont be able to keep doing

my job – I’ll be unemployed and I’ve got 

a big mortage”. Work issues, if you were 

have a dispute with the boss or are being 

bullied by a work mate, if a pain prevents 

this from happening the painful sensation 

will be greater. Stress in general from all 

sources, earthquake repairs, family issues, 

money worries will all heighten pain 

levels. 

In emergency situations getting out of 

fire, shifting debris off someone after an 

earthquake and so on our personal pain 

will be turned down by our brain where 

survival is the main issue. To a lesser 

extend injuries received playing sport 

won’t hurt until the game is over – “I 

remember getting a bit of a bump but it 

didn’t hurt at the time”. 

It is usually because of pain that we seek 

treatment – it is your brain telling you 

to get it sorted. Effective treatment of a 

painful injury also requires explanation / 

education about how pain works and how 

best to manage it.

REAL ESTATE 

Enviable Fendalton address 

26 Hinau Street, Fendalton 

Deadline Sale - all offers will be presented 28th February 2017 unless sold prior. 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street carparks | Listing # SMT10078 

Situated in the heart of this popular 

part of the city, this beautifully renovated 

home has been moderinised with families 

in mind. Encompassing four bedrooms 

and two bathrooms, generous off street 

parking, a sunny north facing family 

sized section plus contemporary master 

bedroom combined parents retreat with 

its own ensuite complimented by a private 

secluded garden and outdoor deck. 

Our vendors have seamlessly blended 

design elements with the timeless features 

of this classic home. The contemporary 

kitchen - complete with engineered stone 

surfaces and European appliances- is a real 

highlight, while the sun-soaked living and 

dining spaces offer ample room for families 

to enjoy. 

This character bungalow has been 

modernised throughout including 

insulation, a double-glazed retro fit, new 

plumbing, and new roof while enduring 

features such as timber floors and French 

doors help to retain the appeal. 

Outside, the large 908m2 section 

along with the sun-soaked patio area is 

an entertainer’s delight with manicured 

lawns offering plenty of space for growing 

families. 

Double garaging and a generous 

driveway with plenty of off-street parking 

complete the package. 

The location is exceptional, with zoning 

for the ever-popular Girls’ and Boys’ High 

School, St Thomas’, St Patrick’s and close 

distance to Medbury, Rangi Ruru and St 

Andrews’, underpinning your investment 

and the proximity to the Westfields and 

the Fendalton Village shopping precinct 

and an easy stroll to the Riccarton Farmers 

Market - not to mention cafes, parks and 

key public transport routes - ensuring 

you’ll want for nothing. 

My owners are sad to be leaving this 

fabulous spot which has served their family 

well but resolute in their decision, and a 

change of ownership is imminent. Interest 

will invariably be high and immediate 

action is advised.

AN ECLECTIC ESTABLISHMENT 

As featured in February STYLE Taste: Vanessa Ortynsky discovers 

Urban Corner Cafe has much more to offer than initially meets the eye. 

ON the former site of the Bower Hotel 

in New Brighton stands the Urban 

Corner Cafe (alongside with e 

Bower), which is one of the most 

eclectic establishments in the city. 

Urban Corner is uniquely 

Christchurch in that it’s constructed of 

18 shipping containers. It’s a standout 

on the landscape, situated near the 

residential red zone and overlooking 

the Avon River. Upon setting foot 

inside this spacious establishment, you 

immediately forget about its modular 

construction methods. 

With its warm and family-friendly 

vibe, Urban Corner has become a 

community hub for New Brighton 

locals. e restaurant serves up brunch, lunch and 

dinner on a daily basis. Menu items are seasonal and 

the Pork Belly Burger served with coleslaw and 

cranberry sauce is a must-try for summer. 

ere’s also a kids menu and a playground outside, 

catering to mums looking for a place to bring the little 

ones for a play date. ere’s Farmyard Animal Day with 

pony rides on the last Sunday of every month in 

summer, weather permitting, which includes a Llama 

with a bad haircut and ponies of all sizes. As well as a 

separate shipping container that can be hired for kids 

parties. 

With plenty of entertainment for the older crowd as 

well, ‘Stitch n Bitch’ is hosted by a local 

artists and is every second Monday. 

It’s an excellent spot to discover new 

Kiwi artists and local talent. 

e dining room is adorned with 

brightly-coloured kitschy decor. You 

can purchase any of the art that lines 

the walls of this establishment. You’re 

sure to get a laugh out of some of the 

quirky tongue-in-cheek posters and 

signage. 

Sharing the premises with e 

Bower proves advantageous as Urban 

Corner features an extensive beer and 

wine list without the central-city price 

tag. e Friday menu comes with a 

$20 price tag, there is always events 

and special deals - including Wednesday and ursday 

feed the family of four for $50. Keep an eye on their 

Facebook page for even more stellar specials. If you are 

looking for a takeaway, there is a full range of cabinet 

available too. 

A little bit different from your traditional cafe and 

bar, this friendly place is sure to delight. If you’re 

looking for a local eatery, or keen to experience the 

warmth and hospitality of the eastern suburbs. Urban 

Corner is a sure bet.
