Kids go crazy
over crayfish
• By Sophie Cornish
Change for Guy Fawkes?
Survey suggests the annual
fireworks event celebrates
Matariki
SHIRLEY PRIMARY School pupils had mixed
reactions when they were given the opportunity to
get up close and personal with crayfish.
Teachers Chanelle Gleimius and Alana Cochrane
said some children were interested in looking and
identifying parts of the crayfish and others were a
little “freaked out.”
The visit from Theo’s Fisheries was part of
inquiry-based literacy lessons about ocean
creatures.
The year 1 and 2 pupils have learnt about sharks,
whales, crabs, seahorses and crayfish.
ENTERTAINING: Year 1 and 2 pupils at Shirley
Primary School had the opportunity to look at

programme about ocean creatures.

Plan to
merge
Rawhiti,
Avondale
golf clubs
goes off
course
• By Sophie Cornish
PLANS TO shift the Rawhiti and
Avondale golf courses and merge
them in the red zone may be dead
in the water.
The public was asked by Regenerate
Christchurch to give feedback
on 10 possible combinations
of use for the red zone – including
merging Avondale and Rawhiti
golf clubs in Bexley.
That would leave the way for the
land at Rawhiti and Avondale to
be used for housing.
But, of the more than 1800
responses, less than a quarter
mentioned the housing idea.
Coastal-Burwood Ward city
councillor Glenn Livingstone
does not believe Regenerate will
go ahead with the land swap idea.
“I think they will listen to the
people . . . it’s too contentious and,
although housing is my portfolio
at council, community well-being
is something that belongs to all of
us,” Cr Livingstone said.

PEGASUS POST
THE LOOK and feel of New Brighton is in
the balance.
On page 1 today we reveal a survey over
use of the red zone. A key part is whether
Rawhiti Golf Club will move to Bexley and
open the way up for housing on its current site.
The Rawhiti course is publicly owned and is prime real estate
for a developer.
The plan would be to merge Rawhiti and Avondale Golf Club
at Bexley. But Avondale owns its own land and has new clubrooms.
Club members appear to be split on the move.
Interesting times.
Speaking of which we’ve refreshed our masthead and page 2,
and there’s more to changes in the wind. I’ll keep you posted.

MP joins fight to stop school site sale
Bid to keep hall
for community
use ramps up
• By Sophie Cornish
CHRISTCHURCH East MP
Poto Williams may have her
first challenge as a part of the
new Government – saving the
Central New Brighton School
site.
Pressure is now on Ms Williams
to halt the sale of the site,
which includes Roy
Stokes Hall. It could
be sold to private
developers.
The site is set to
Poto
Williams
go on the market
in February. Ms
Williams has been
in contact with both
the minister of education and
minister for land information
about the issue.
“I am hopeful that (Minister
of Education Chris (Hipkins)
will think about the concerns of
the community and realise how
well loved the Roy Stokes Hall is
within the area.”
The hall was built following
a large fundraising effort from
the community, which spanned
more than 15 years.
COMMUNITY EFFORT: Sylvia Smyth, Sue Davidson, Lisa
Wingfield and Chris Sarrow are among those pushing to save
Roy Stokes Hall on the old Central New Brighton School site.
Coastal-Burwood Ward city
councillor David East has another
idea to save the school.
“A concern is the fact that
the Ministry of Education have
underestimated the need for a
school on this side of town. They
amalgamated three of them and
Rawhiti is bursting at the seams
now and South Brighton is heading
that way.”
“Going forward, it may well be
that we need another school in
the not too distant future. Maybe
the site needs to be re-developed
Helping us,
Helps tHe
community
Drop off or buy
for a smaller school.”
Land Information New Zealand
is currently in the process
of organising the site’s sale on
behalf of the Ministry of Education.
However, Ms Williams said the
sale was not yet definite.
“There is a chance it could be
halted. The site is in a process
but I understand officials are
providing advice to the minister
(of education) at the moment,”
she said.

Sylvia Smyth wants Ms Williams
to put pressure on to save the
site. “We are hoping she will
help move it forward and she has
been helping already. She has
already written to the minister
(for land information).”
“We are also writing letters to
the minister, so it’s all a full community
effort,” she said.
Ms Williams said there was
a wider issue regarding vacant
school sites on the east.
“We know how tragic it was
having the schools closed in the
first place – we can see the absolute
value of those schools turned
into community hubs. I hope
that that provides enough reason
to show, at least in the shortterm,
that it’s the best outcome
for the community.”
Currently there are demolition
plans for the old Aranui High
School site as well.
The Coastal-Burwood Community
Board has agreed to
write to the Ministry of Education
to request a meeting to
potentially halt the demolition,
so community groups can use
the buildings.

East moves to stop possible
closure of New Brighton bank
• By Sophie Cornish and Georgia
O’Connor-Harding
COASTAL-Burwood Ward
city councillor David East has
stepped in to try and stop the
possible closure of Westpac’s
New Brighton branch.
Cr East has spoken to
Development Christchurch Ltd
to see if the city council-owned
company can do anything to halt
or stop the proposed closure.
DCL is responsible for
rejuvenating New Brighton.
“We are talking with Westpac
to see if we can get this decision
put off for a while longer, until
such time when we can see if
the hot salt water pools and the
business re-invigoration will
impact on the business sector on
this side of town,” said Cr East.
New Brighton is one of three
Westpac branches on the
chopping block, along with
Lincoln and Sydenham.
Westpac says internet and
mobile phone banking, as well
as the changing population
because of the earthquakes, are
the reasons behind the planned
closures.
“Our customers are

increasingly using technology
for their banking needs, which
is resulting in fewer branch
transactions,” said Westpac
spokeswoman Heather Shiels.
Ms Shiels said online
transactions had increased by
66 per cent in five years, while
customers using mobile-only
devices had increased from 24 to
39 per cent in the past two years.
The earthquakes had also
played a role, she said.
“Since the 2010 and 2011
earthquakes the region has
experienced significant shifts
in population, which have
impacted where people are
living, working and banking.”
First Union, which represents
bank staff, said it was “odd” for
the earthquakes to be used as
a reason for a branch to close,
particularly in Lincoln.
“The stats quite clearly
demonstrate the population
is growing . . . we have been
puzzled by it,” First Union
southern region secretary Paul
Watson said.

Fireworks display could be changed
• By Sophie Cornish
MAJOR CHANGES could be in
store for New Brighton’s annual
Guy Fawkes fireworks event.
Last week the city council
released a survey asking for
feedback about the event.
Questions included whether
the event should be moved to the
middle of the year to celebrate
Matariki (Maori new year),
moved to the nearest weekend to
November 5 and/or moved out of
New Brighton.
City councillor Sara
Templeton backs the Matariki
idea.
“Changing it to a New Zealand
celebration from an irrelevant
400-year-old English one would
be a great move and hosting it in
winter at 6.30pm would be much
more inclusive of the younger
members of our community,” Cr
Templeton said in a Facebook
post.
Coastal-Burwood Ward city
councillor Glenn Livingstone
wants something different all
together.
“I would like to build the event
around celebrating our diversity
as a city. We have that diversity
in the Coastal-Burwood area
with all the different nationalities
and cultures.”
Cr Livingstone would like to
see the fireworks display have
a Parihaka theme built around
it, since the anniversary is
celebrated on the same day as
Guy Fawkes.
“I’m sure we can build in
a theme around celebrating
Parihaka on the same day. I don’t
want it shifted into the middle
of the year . . . I think as a nation
it is important that we look at
Parihaka,” he said.
Parihaka symbolises the
peaceful resistance to confiscated
Maori land following the
invasion of 1600 Government
troops on the western Taranaki
settlement in 1881.
City council manager of events
and arts Karena Finnie said
the survey was part of several
completed every year by the
events and arts team on a range
of events to assist with future
development.
The primary issue with the
event being in New Brighton is
traffic management.

Plan to merge golf courses hits rough
•From page 1
“And I can’t see the point in
forcing the community down
a path they don’t want to go,”
he said.
Coastal-Burwood
Community Board
chairwoman Kim Money
agreed: “Our community
have made it quite clear that
they don’t want it (Rawhiti
golf course) to be used for
residential housing, but that
doesn’t mean there aren’t other
alternatives.”
The survey showed there
was little support for largescale
development. However,
there was some support for
innovative and adaptable
housing.
Said Regenerate
Christchurch chief
executive Ivan Iafeta:
“The proposed landswap
with Avondale
and Rawhiti golf
courses was generally
not supported.
“A number of people
who responded used
this engagement to show their
support for specific projects.
As we collate the feedback,
some common themes are
emerging.’’
Ivan Iafeta
But he would not rule out the
land swap idea as a possibility.
“A range of factors will
be considered in the
decision-making
process, including public
feedback,” said Mr Iafeta.
However, the merger
and switch to Bexley
could be decided by the
golf clubs.
Said Rawhiti vicepresident
Leon Zilinskas:
“We are not committing
ourselves to anything until a
lot further into the process.
Without details there’s no
way we can make a decision
on behalf of our members .
. . from what I am hearing
from the community, it seems
unlikely to happen.”
Avondale president Dave
Buchanan said the club was
divided over the idea, but he
has major concerns about it.
“Our golf course is owned
debt free by the club and we
also have just about completed
the rebuild of our new
clubrooms. Our club would
be foolish to put our asset at
risk, unless the proposal put
forward is a better option than
we already have and, at this
point in time, it is not.”

Principal’s Report
Warm greetings to
the Linwood College
community. Kia ora
koutou. Talofa lava.
Kia orana. Malo e
lelei. Bula. Fakaalofa
atu. Namaste.
Kumusta.
It is with pleasure
that I am able to
report to our community that Linwood College
has had a most positive year.
It has been a year of significant thinking and
planning as we listen to our community’s
input regarding how we should re-develop
with our whole-school rebuild. Linwood
College is clear-eyed about the forms of
education that work for our students and we
have this bedrock of understanding through
our partnership with our community.
Our community views education as
the wellbeing of the whole person. All
developmentally positive experiences enrich
our students’ understanding of whom they
are and broaden their outlook. They nurture
students’ classroom focus by contextualising
their learning and sowing the seeds of positive
ambition.
Sports Awards Night
Linwood College believes in a ‘pathwayed
curriculum’. This means the school, students
and families knowing:
1. Students’ learning and skills as they come
into LC from our partner primary schools
and building on these successes.
2. How the learning at LC connects to what
the students want to do when they leave
school. “What are my post-school pathways
and how does LC help me to achieve these
pathways?”
In this way learning is meaningful to the
individual and strengths-based. At Linwood
College the individual matters.
Finally, the Education Review Office reviewed
Linwood College in the second half of Term 3.
The confirmed report is now public and I am
delighted to say that the school is back on
the three year return cycle. It is a testament
to everyone’s collective vision and positive
work for our school: Board of Trustees,
staff, students, whanau, partner schools and
community.
Nga mihi nui and best wishes for the festive
season and summer holiday.

Waitaha Haka Competition
Over Labour Weekend, Kimihia Te Matauranga Kapa Haka Group competed at the Waitaha
Secondary Schools’ Haka Competition at the Aurora Centre. The group was made up of a
combination of students from Linwood College, Christchurch Girls’ High School and three
schools from Te Tai Poutini (West Coast), those being Westland College, Greymouth High
School and Buller High School.
The competition was of a very high standard this year with ten groups competing for a spot at
the National Haka Competition in 2018.
Kimihia gained placings in the following
categories:
1st place in Poi
2nd place in Moteatea/ Traditional Chant
2nd place in Whakawatea/ Exit Song
2nd equal Te Whakahua o te Reo/ Language
with Te Pa o Rakaihautu
3rd place in Haka
3rd place in Waiata-a-ringa/ Action Song
3rd place in Waiata Tira/ Choral
3rd place for Hamiora Te Rupe/ Male Leader
Kimihia was placed 3rd overall in the competition. We are also very proud of Dayton Rapana-
Pham who was placed 2nd for his Whaikorero/Traditional Speech.
We would like to acknowledge our Kaitataki/Leaders of the group, Mairieka Prentice and
Hamiroa Te Rupe, for all their hard work in leading the group.

Duke of Edinburgh – Silver Expedition
Once again, Linwood College’s annual 'Sports Awards' ceremony was a very successful
evening. We were lucky enough to have Shane Thrower return to Linwood College as our guest
speaker, talking about how sport has impacted his life and the opportunities that it can provide.
Richard Edmundson (Principal) and Finlay Laird (Linwood College Board of Trustees member),
presented the major awards for the evening. We also had special guests from Christs' College
and ARA Institute of Canterbury in attendance.
We would like to thank the Linwood College community and Linwood College Board of Trustees
for their continuous support as we continue to pursue sporting excellence.
Congratulations to all of our award winners for 2017.
Top awards were presented to the following accomplished students:
The outdoor Duke of Edinburgh
experience has helped us to
learn new things about life and
also about ourselves. Although
it pushed us to our mental
and physical limits, it was the
best experience ever! We have
learnt to really be grateful for
the small things in life!

I wish to acknowledge all of our 2018
Senior Award recipients; I am so proud
of you and your achievements to
self, whanau, and school. Among the
assembly of award winners are students
who have always known they would
do well at school and they will go on to undertake study at a tertiary level, be
it university or Polytech. Beside those students are some who a few years ago
could not have imagined completing Year 13, and are leaving Mairehau High
School with NCEA Level 3 at the end of this year. Some students are gifted
learners who have found pleasure in their learning. others have had to struggle
for every achievement or unit standard. But each student can look to the future,
nurtured by the Mairehau High School environment. I wish you all the very best.
So, I congratulate all students on your achievements, and I also congratulate
your parents, family and your teachers and all who have supported you during
your years of school. You are our inspiration.
“You are one, yet you are only one
You cannot do everything, but you can do something
Having hope, having aspirations, and always trying to improve
I trust what you can do, you will do.”
I also take this opportunity to wish all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New

The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge Awards
The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge good Citizenship Award – recognises service to
the school. These awards are kindly donated by The Avon Shirley Masonic Lodge.
To be selected for the Citizenship award, a student will display qualities which
include tolerance, kindness and tact in relating to others. good Citizenship is
reflected in a desire to help others, to put others first, and to serve others selflessly
without expected reward.
In the spirit of this award, the recipients have nominated an organisation which
will receive a significant donation on their behalf. Together, our two students
have decided that the generous gift of $500 from the lodge will go to KIDSCAN
CHArITY.
We are extremely pleased to introduce to you, SHILAH NorMAN. Shilah is
described by our school staff as a caring, kind, honest and understanding young
lady. She has the full trust of staff for any task, being 100% reliable, punctual
and honest. Shilah demonstrates maturity and intelligence in her relationships
with both peers and adults and is seen by her teachers as a ‘big-picture thinker’ –
someone who thinks outside the ‘square’ and beyond the Pegasus Bay coastline to
consider and reflect wisely on global issues and solutions.
Shilah’s strength in leadership has been demonstrated over the years as she has
involved herself in both the Student Council as co-chairperson, and as a member
of the Student Executive. Shilah will gladly and willingly take on leadership roles
in all areas of school and community involvement. It comes as no surprise that her
career intentions are recorded as youth work, counselling or therapy work.
our second recipient for the Citizenship Award is BENJAMIN LoWE. Benjamin
is described by staff as diligent, self-motivated and self-disciplined. He is a
determined individual with a strong work ethic. Ben demonstrates respect,
warmth, maturity and intelligence, as well as a cheerful and positive attitude.
This year Benjamin has been developing his leadership skills, first at a MHErC
Communications Skills course, followed by participation in the city-wide World
Vision Leadership Conference. He also supported the annual rSA red Poppy
Day fundraising appeal. Benjamin has served in the Senior Student Executive
(Community and Peer Support) and was a highly reliable and relatable Peer
Support Leader. He recently demonstrated leadership in kapahaka performance
and was one of only two student presenters at our annual Colours Award
ceremony recently.
over the years, Benjamin has willingly represented our school with pride. We are
very proud of Benjamin’s citizenship record over the last five years and he will be
warmly remembered for his significant service to our community.

Christmas
Creative wrapping
adds intrigue to gifts
Most of the malls offer a free gift-wrapping service, which
is a great help at this busy time, but for those who prefer
to wrap their own here are a few ideas to make gifts look
unique and exciting.
The first tip to make the job easier and
the wrapping look more professional is to
do the task on a flat surface – a table or a
hard floor.
Recycling has become an important
aspect of modern-day life, and that’s easy
to do with gift-wrapping. For example,
those brown paper bags you have put
aside are ideal, especially for odd-shaped
gifts. To give them a Christmassy look,
you could glue on those left-over pieces
of wrapping paper from last year that are
too small to use, and add a candy cane or
chocolate with the gift tag.
Another quirky idea is to wrap your gifts
in fabric. You could cut up a garment you
no longer wear, or look out those left over
pieces from curtains or clothing you have
made. Tie them up with fabric ribbon to
complete the look.
in Pegasus Post
Using newspaper or cardboard boxes as
wrapping is another recycling idea, and
you could add a festive look by tying
them with Christmas ribbon.
For long-shaped gifts, why not wrap them
to look like a Christmas cracker. Place a
tube of cardboard around the item, then
put it inside a sheet of wrapping paper,
secure it with tape then scrunch up the
ends like a cracker and tie them off with
coloured ribbon.
Kitchen foil is another wrapping option.
Being silver and shiny it already has a
festive look, which you could enhance
with bright-coloured ribbon.
Make a container, such as a jar, tin or
tray one part of the gift. Complete it with
chocolates, nuts or biscuits and wrap the
gift in clear cellophane tied with brightcoloured
ribbon.

Readers respond to last
week’s story about the
Central New Brighton
School site potentially
going on the market to
private investors
Janice Belgrave – Similar
issue with the Aranui School
site on Breezes Rd. It is about
to be demolished, and the is a
magnificent community hall on
site that needs to be saved. Community
groups are trying to save
it, but why the heck should they
have to go to so much trouble?
It should never be considered
to be bulldozed, but these decisions
were made by the previous
Government and are difficult to
turn over. So frustrating when
perfectly good buildings are lost
for no reason.
Leah Young – I always knew
this was the reason Central New
Brighton School closed. The
Government can get more money
by selling the land than having a
school on the site.
Carolyn Stirling – The
Government could turn these
classrooms into senior studio
apartments. My friend lives in a
converted school in the United
States.
Kimberley Borell – And
yet my grandsons had to move
schools three times because of
this school closing.
Helen Young – Leave this
hall alone. As a community
person I’d like to see this stay
in the community and not be
sold off to developers. As it is,
they took away the pool from
the community which they
had no right to do as this was a
community asset as well. Our
community needs to keep this
as they closed the school which
did not need to be done as they
did not loose as many students as
they clamed they did. The South
New Brighton School should
have been closed as they lost a
lot more students from South
New Brighton, Southshore and
Bexley as that was where most
of their students moved from.
Stop taking away things from the
New Brighton area, we have had
enough of this happening to us.
Marie Graham – Should
definitely keep the hall . . . the
Roy Stokes New Brighton Community
Hall.

A COMBINATION of
community groups are helping
low decile pupils get the school
camp experience.
Year 5 and 6 pupils at Linwood
North School recently went on
camp to Living Springs with 50
per cent of their fees paid for.
The Aorangi Sponsorship
Programme coupled with Mitre
10 and Christchurch Girls’ High
School’s Interact group raised
funds to get the pupils to the
camp.
The sponsorship programme
was set up last year and aims to
get underprivileged children an
outdoor education experience.
Linwood North School principal
Sandra Smith said it’s not
common for her pupils to go to
camp and they are only able to if
community funding is available.
“The children that went had
an amazing time. The thing that
stood out for the teachers was
that the children who usually
find school challenging, really
shone and blossomed at camp
and took on the challenges,” said
Ms Smith.
Living Springs CEO Denis
Aldridge said that 50 per cent of
schools going to the camp are
decile 9 and 10.
Schools that are decile 1,2,3
and 4 combined only make up 16

per cent.
“That’s the very schools
who need to be here,” said Mr
Aldridge.
Some “business clusters” are
now sticking with the schools
long term and sponsoring camps
every year, said Mr Aldridge.
Last year, six low decile schools
were able to attend the camp
from community sponsorship.
The programme is aiming for
eight schools next year.
The camps are based on
outdoor adventure learning
programmes which include low
ropes courses, tree climbing,
farm visits and biking.
“It gets them out of their
comfort zone, gets them working
together and gets them in a
wholesome green environment,”
said Mr Aldridge.
Southern Institute of Technology (SIT)
offers a multitude of courses for students
looking to begin a qualification and
career, in the industry of their choice.
Available areas of study at the
Christchurch campus include, Automotive
and Road Transport, Social Services
and Mental Health, Construction,
Electrotechnology, Hairdressing, Project
Management, Sport, Exercise and
Personal Training.
If you are looking at getting into the
social services sector or are already
working in this area and looking for an
entry level qualification designed for
those wanting a career supporting the
health and wellbeing of people, family
and/or whanau and the wider community,
SIT have a new programme delivered
from Christchurch campus that will suit
you.
The New Zealand Certificate in Health
and Wellbeing (Social and Community
Services) (Level 4) with strand in Mental
Health and Addiction Support, is a yearlong,
full-time course beginning February
2018 (subject to accreditation and
approval).
This course aims at providing
organisations within the health and
wellbeing sectors with graduates who
have the skills, knowledge and behaviours

family and/or whanau accessing social
and community services, under broad
guidance. Papers studied include ethical
practice and professionalism, te tiriti
o waitangi and bi-cultural practice,
professional practice, reflective practice,
New Zealand society, social sciences, and
mental health and addiction.

BEFORE
AFTER
Summer is coming! That means busy times at the Shirley Tennis Club
as its season of competition and social tennis gets underway. The club
has new post-quake facilities in the beautiful surroundings of Richmond
Park and is keen to welcome new members, whether new to the sport
or experienced tennis players. The club offers coaching opportunities,
great new facilities and chances to enjoy tennis in a local, friendly,
family-oriented environment.
The club’s address is 102 Woodchester Ave. In these days of roadworks
and detours, the best vehicle access is to turn into Medway St
from North Parade and then turn left into Woodchester Ave; plenty of
carparking is available. Contact phone number is 03 385 9531.
The Shirley Tennis Club has been a part of the sporting scene in
Richmond since 1925. The devastating earthquakes in 2011 saw
damage to all nine courts and the clubrooms; worse than any other
tennis club in Christchurch. This damage essentially took the club out
of action for a summer season, but the club has bounced back with the
full replacement of all courts and the clubrooms by 2017.
The club is in the final phase of what will be a $1 million investment
that has taken place over the past six years. This investment has largely
been funded through grants from charitable trusts and club fundraising,
with a huge amount of voluntary effort from members at numerous
working bees.
The end result is a fantastic 9-court facility (including four courts that
are floodlit) combined with brand-new clubrooms, making a collective
package that is compelling for the eastern Christchurch tennis scene.
The club has constructed courts on the old Shirley Bowling Club site,
and has given its two back courts (closest to the old Marian College
site) to the Richmond Workingmen’s Club cricket section who will use
this space for training and storage facilities.
Shirley Tennis Club is the fourth largest tennis club in Canterbury
and is now keen to focus on promoting the club and facilities, and
increasing membership levels. The club has recently appointed a new
head coach following the departure of the long-standing coach due to
a family illness. Matthew Woolman, who has recently returned from
a USA tennis scholarship, will take over the role and be in charge of
Team Coaching, Hot Shots for new junior players and Cardio Tennis and
Tennis Xpress programmes for adults.
Shirley Tennis Club has been fortunate in having so many keen
members who have helped in many ways to keep the club in such good
condition. The new tennis season began in August and the club is keen
for new and returning members to come along and enjoy the great
game of tennis in our facilities. The family-oriented club has strong
focus on junior members.
Subscription levels remain very affordable, being cheaper than most
clubs in Christchurch, with an active committee that ensures smooth
operation and a friendly atmosphere. Shirley supports organised play
and coaching through all twelve months of the year, whilst also playing
host to a variety of competitive and social events, which collectively
include all aspects of our membership in club life.
We have several types of club memberships:
Seniors: Saturdays 1:30pm–5pm
Mid-week players: Tuesdays 9:30am–noon
Twilight players: Wednesdays at 6:00pm (commencing 27 September 2017)
Juniors: Saturday mornings 8 & under: 8:30am 9–12 years: 9:30am 13 and over: 10:45am
NEW MEMBERS WELCOME

Local plumbers offering
free checks on clay pipes
While it is now almost seven years since the
Christchurch earthquakes, damage to underground
pipes is still becoming apparent, says
the team at Laser Plumbing Christchurch
East, who are based in Ferrymead.
As they point out, homeowners can
be completely unaware that they have
earthquake damage to their clay pipes.
Properties built before the 1970s are
most likely to have clay pipes, and
cracks in the pipes allow tree roots to
enter and block drains. The damage can
take some time to become apparent
but when it does, it is usually fairly
major, and costly to repair.
Specialists in drain-laying and plumbing,
Laser Plumbing are currently offering a
free check on pipes. This involves a quick look with a
camera, and if any damage is found they will discuss
this with the owner. Laser Plumbing are experts in
dealing with EQC and know how
to make the process easy. The next
step is to provide
a drainage survey
report to EQC, who
in most cases, will
cover the cost of this
as well as replacing
the damaged pipes.
There are some
conditions, which
Laser Plumbing will
discuss with the
homeowner.
“We have done hundreds of surveys
and have been installing a lot of
replacement PVC pipes over recent
years,” says Carol McCann, who owns the
company with her husband Chris Dick.
“We want to make it easy for people by
offering the check at no cost, and we
urge people to get their pipes checked
sooner rather than later as we do not
know how long EQC will cover repairs for
home-owners. Having them replaced will
avoid serious problems in the future. It’s
all done with minimum fuss.”
Located in Tussock Lane, Ferrymead,
Laser Plumbing services customers right
across the city. They are very proud of
their team of qualified tradesmen, who
carry out plumbing and drainage work
with care and efficiency. They are the sort
of guys that you would be happy to have
working in and around your home, Carol says.
To make an appointment for your free pipe check,
phone them today on 376 5322.

REAL ESTATE
Paradise found ...
48 Early Valley Road, Tai Tapu
Price: $995,000
4 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 3 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Property ID: BE192870
... this special property is only fifteen
minutes from the city in the blue-chip area
of Lansdowne Valley, just off the Old Tai
Tapu Road, in an idyllic location on Early
Valley Road. Coming home from the noise
and bustle of the city to this tranquillity
will be your treat - so much so you may not
wish to leave at all!
Offering all the benefits of the rural
lifestyle overlooking fields and grazing
animals but without the hard work of a
lifestyle block. The house is set on just over
1800 sq m of land with a landscaped garden
which will delight a gardener.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms and
a large living room there is the opportunity
for an extended family to coexist here with
a quite separate wing or perhaps for those
that like to have friends to stay you will find
the layout of the home is perfect for this.
The added benefit of three car garaging will
keep your vehicles safe and secure. There
is ample off-street parking as well for your
visitors.
Surrounded by the Port Hills with all
the amenities these provide for those who
like an active lifestyle and offering those
who prefer perhaps to wine and dine an
abundance of choice of winery and cafes.
Don’t hesitate - view now, it is rare
indeed to find this combination of rural life
without the burden of a lifestyle block.
Open Home Saturday 2nd December
12:30pm - 1:00pm.
See you at the open home or to arrange
a private viewing of this property call
Debbie Pettigrew on 027 777 0411 or
