Dealing with fast food odour 

• By Caitlin Miles 

SICK OF the smell from a fast 

food outlet wafting through your 

neighbourhood? 

If so, phone Environment 

Canterbury’s 24-hour pollution 

hotline. 

That’s the advice from the 

city council after they thrashed 

out how to deal with a Linwoodled 

campaign to curb the number 

of fast food outlets close to 

schools. 

On Thursday, the city council 

decided the best way to deal 

with issues at the moment was to 

complain to ECan if the odour 

from fast food outlets is “objectionable”. 

City council staff have been 

asked to report back on progress 

made whether an amendment 

could be made the district plan to 

restrict the location and signage 

of fast food outlets in proximity 

to schools. 

A group consisting of Linwood 

College, Linwood Avenue School, 

parents, Linwood Medical Centre 

and Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson 

expressed their concerns around 

putting in rules restricting the 

ability of fast food outlets to proliferate 

around schools and low 

income areas. 

McDonald’s, KFC and Burger 

King are among the fast food 

outlets based around the intersection 

of Linwood Ave and 

Buckleys Rd, which are close to 

Linwood Avenue School. 

City councillors agreed also to 

lobby for change with Government 

and the Ministry of Education to 

consider building future schools 

away from fast food outlets. 

The change will have to come 

from Minister supporting 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Gerry Brownlee, because the 

city council can’t change its own 

district plan until 2021.

DESK News..........................3, 5, 8, 9 

IT HAS been a series of delays 

for the Woolston/Linwood pool 

project, ever since the old pool 

was demolished in 2006. Now it 

appears that an “urgent” report 

requested in June is not really 

being treated as urgent. Reporter 

Caitlin Miles has the story on page 

5. 

Woolston can chalk up a win 

against the city council. It is 

back to the drawing board, after 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

Board told city council staff to 

have another go at putting together 

the Woolston part of the Ferry 

Rd Master Plan (page 3). Business 

were outraged when they were told 

56 parks could be lost. 

Finally, if any of you still making 

up your mind who to vote for 

in the local body election, page 8 

could help. We ask Halswell Ward 

candidates about traffic congestion

Outcry forces Ferry Rd rethink 


THE WOOLSTON community 

has had a major win against the 

city council to stop car parks 

from being removed outside the 

Ferry Rd shops. 

At the Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board meeting 

on Wednesday, a decision was 

made to scrap the Woolston 

section of the Ferry Rd Master 

Plan, after public outcry. 

More than 700 people signed 

a petition against the removal 

of 56 car parks, which is 72 per 

cent of spaces 

outside the 

Woolston 

shops between 

Portman St 

and St John 

St, while 56 

per cent were 

against the 

Woolston section of the master 

plan. 

This means city council staff 

will head back to the drawing 

board, to start the Woolston 

section again. 

The Ferry Rd Master Plan 

runs from one end of Ferry Rd 

in the city along to Ferrymead. 

The work on this plan was 

expected to cost $1.6 million. 

The plan was created in 2014 

and the Woolston section of the 

RELIEF: Following a petition with more than 700 signatures strongly opposing the removal of 

car parks on Ferry Rd, the Woolston section of the Master Plan will be changed to retain more 

spaces.

project was put out for public 

consultation from May to June 

this year. 

Hagley-Ferrymead Community 

board chairwoman Sara 

Templeton (left) said it was yet 

to be decided how many car 

parks had been saved, but city 

council staff had indicated it 

would be quite a few. 

Woolston Bakery owner 

Sunhuar Sear is relieved 

the changes are being made 

following his submission on the 

plan. 

“It’s good for us to keep the 

car parks outside of the business 

because we could lose business 

if the parks are taken away,” Mr 

Sear said. 

The plan also involved lowering 

the speed limit to 30km/h, 

which 29 people opposed. 

“I understand people want it 

to feel like a village but it is also 

a through road and 30km/h is 

just too slow,” Mr Sear said. 

Ms Templeton said the 

new plan should not delay 

construction, which was due to 

begin in July 2017. 

The revised plan, once 

drafted, will be out for public 

consultation in February, timed 

with the Heathcote and Oak St 

enhancement public consultation. 

“It was really clear there had 

been some concerns. There has 

been some conflict between 

those who want it beautified 

and those who live far away and 

just see it as a through route, so 

it needs balancing,” Ms Templeton 

said. 

In Brief 

NEW PLAYCENTRE 

The Spreydon-Heathcote 

Community Board has 

recommended the city council 

approve the Canterbury 

Playcentre Association lease 

to establish a new playcentre 

over part of Simeon Park in 

Addington. The association wants 

to use 1367 sq m of the park for 

the playcentre, which would be 

located next door to Addington 

School. 

LIBRARY DISCUSSIONS 

The city council has started early 

engagement with the community 

about what it wants in their 

library, including where it should 

be located. Currently there is a 

transitional volunteer library 

located on Ferry Rd. There is $1.6 

million budget for the project. 

CAKE WITH A CONSCIENCE 

Food manufacturer Original 

Foods Baking Co has helped 

raise more than $56,000 for 

the Countdown Kids Hospital 

Appeal over the past three years. 

The company has baked about 

56,000 cakes for the appeal. 

The Cake with a Conscience 

baking is to help provide muchneeded 

medical equipment to 

11 children’s hospital wards 

around the country, including 

Christchurch Hospital.

Unfortunately, we just can’t 

know it all and that is why 

having veterinarians with extra 

qualifications in a field ( who are 

only to willing to offer help and 

advice), is of enormous value 

when we are faced with a difficult, 

challenging cases. 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

REFERRAL VETERINARY SERVICES 

Recently I referred a 7 year old 

English Springer Spaniel to an 

orthopaedic surgeon at VSA in 

Auckland for spinal surgery. I have 

had personal experience with the 

team at VSA and great results in the 

past. Dusty is a patient we have seen 

a lot of recently. He was recently 

neutered and treated for an enlarged 

prostate and more recently I have 

examined and treated Dusty for what we believed 

to be unrelenting lower back pain. 

Dusty is the perfect patient, amenable to a lot of 

manipulation and palpation, although he now 

often freezes and drops when he sees me coming. 

Previously Dusty has had CT scans, radiographs 

and blood testing to try to understand why at 

times he seems crippled with pain. He is unable to 

run with other dogs, play vigorously, jump, swim 

for long periods of time – in other words, “just be a 

dog”. His onset of pain 

is quick and he wears 

his pain on his little 

face. We have treated 

Dusty with numerous 

types of pain and 

inflammation 

modifying drugs 

with no real 

success, as well as 

physiotherapy and 

hydrotherapy. 

Dusty’s owner 

and I discussed in depth our next step 

which had to be an MRI at St Georges Hospital 

to determine whether Dusty was a surgical 

candidate or not. Dusty’s owner is a nurse herself 

and fully understands an accurate diagnosis is 

crucial if we are to understand Dusty’s pain better 

and do the best for him. Luckily it also helps to 

have pet insurance, as MRI diagnostics and spinal 

surgery are right up there in cost for the average 

client. Dusty may make the move to the UK soon, 

so I wanted to make real sure we were doing all 

we could for him. 

The staff at St Georges are helpful, knowledgable 

and lovely with our canine patients. I regularly 

travel with patients to sedate and monitor them 

for their MRI which can 

take up to an hour. It isn’t 

painful but they have to 

lie

very still in order for the 

radiologist to get good 

pictures. Ear plugs are 

inserted as the machinery 

is very noisy. 

In Dusty’s case, even I 

could see the cause of 

his severe pain. He had a 

severe disc prolapse and 

soft tissue hypertrophy at 

the lumbosacral junction 

( L7-S1) causing spinal 

cord compression. His 

L6-L7 disc space was also 

moderately prolapsed. 

The radiologist also 

noted a congenital 

abnormality of his aorta, an 

incidental finding. 

The surgeon in Auckland had access to this 

MRI and could read the images. He concluded 

that Dusty would benefit from spinal cord 

decompression and stabilisation of the 

lumbosacral disc space, which would allow Dusty 

a far better quality of life. 

The surgeon liased with Dusty’s owner 

immediately and within weeks Dusty was flown 

to Auckland for a referral consultation, operated 

on successfully and is now 

rehabilitating in Auckland post 

operatively for 6 weeks, until the 

follow up xrays show that there is 

bony healing and stability of the 

plates and screws. Dusty is also 

receiving physiotherapy to help with 

a quicker recovery. 

A real success story for Dusty and his 

family and it just goes to show that 

the best veterinary medicine is often 

a collaborative team effort, where our 

primary objective is to successfully 

cure, heal and care for our patients. 

At McMaster & Heap we are also extremely lucky 

to have the expertise and knowledge of Steve 

Heap, in diagnosing and treating patients with Eye 

diseases and Catherine Morganti, who regularly 

preforms ultrasounds and endoscopy on cats 

and dogs, allowing us more diagnostic options 

to working up a sick patient. We also employ a 

registered veterinary dentist, when required, to 

perform root canal surgeries and pulpotomies on 

teeth, when clients would rather save their dogs 

teeth than us perform extractions. 

Steve’s caseload at McMaster & Heap would be 

80% eye referral work and much of this ends up 

being operated on. Steve also 

travels to Dunedin every 3 months 

for 2 jammed packed days of eye 

referral work and surgery. These 

vets have invested time to develop 

certain skills, knowledge and 

expertise in a specialised area of 

veterinary medicine and are of huge 

help to us primary vets in providing 

solutions and treatments with our 

patients. We find our clients want 

the best for their pets ( as we do) and 

welcome referral vet services.

Dealing with fast food odour 

•From page 1 

City councillor Yani 

Johanson said it was a 

critical step forward to 

lobbying Government. 

“This is especially true at 

the moment given that the 

city council is unable to do 

plan changes itself until the 

year 2021 in Christchurch,” 

he said. 

Port Hills MP Ruth 

Dyson said it was a step 

in the right direction 

although it wasn’t exactly 

what she hoped for. 

“It’s quite a long way 

short of what we wanted 

but it’s a step in the right 

direction,” Ms Dyson 

said. 

“We wanted the city 

council to put a bylaw in 

place that restricted the 

amount of fast food outlets 

around schools, they 

haven’t done that, but they 

haven’t ruled it out either, 

so it’s a good start,” Ms 

Dyson said. 

In June, the city council 

and the compost plant, 

Living Earth which 

is located in Bromley, 

received a $1000 

infringement notice 

for a “offensive and 

objectionable odour”, 

which they are appealing.

Pool report delayed 


AN URGENT report requested 

on the Linwood-Woolston pool 

will not be available until the 

new city council meets. 

Local leaders say it is not good 

enough that the city council 

is yet to complete the progress 

report, which was requested in 

June. 

Another report on installing 

traffic lights at the intersection 

of Hoon Hay, Worsleys and 

Cashmere Rds was requested at 

the same time. 

This report has already come 

back and work is now scheduled 

to begin. 

Cr Yani Johanson said he 

met city council chief executive 

Karleen Edwards yesterday to 

understand why the report, 

which he requested, was taking 

so long. 

“I asked for a fuller response 

on where the project is at and 

why it’s taking so long. My 

understanding is that she took 

that on board and will get staff 

to report back to me on it,” Cr 

Johanson said. 

Cr Johanson said he wants the 

report presented at the next city 

council meeting on Thursday or 

“at least an update” on it. 

A city council spokeswoman 

SITE: A report on the proposed Linwood-Woolston pool has 

been delayed. The preferred location for a new pool is the old 

nursery site on Smith St. 

said work is underway by staff 

on defining the scope of the 

project, but given the elections 

are coming up “it’s more appropriate 

that it is considered by the 

incoming council.” 

The Linwood-Woolston pool 

development has faced several 

set backs since the Woolston 

Outdoor Pool, which was 

located at the former Woolston 

School, was demolished 10 years 

ago. 

A new pool was meant to 

be completed in 2018, but 

now construction won’t begin 

until 2020 after the city council 

pushed out funding. 

Hagley-Ferrymead 

Community Board chairwoman 

Sara Templeton said she felt 

disappointed by the lack of 

progress being made. 

“I’m really disappointed there 

hasn’t been as much communication 

with the board and the 

community on development of 

the Linwood-Woolston pool as 

we would have liked by now,” 

Ms Templeton said. 

Cr Paul Lonsdale said “it was 

disappointing” to not have the 

report back. 

“Cr Johanson and I worked 

hard to get the money on budget 

and we don’t want momentum 

to stop,” Cr Lonsdale said. 

Recently Southern View 

quizzed Linwood Ward city 

council candidates on where 

they thought the pool should go 

and the old plant nursery site on 

Smith St was picked as the best 

location. 

STRONG COFFEE: Linwood resident Sam Laurie was named the

Top barista found

LINWOOD’S SAM Laurie makes 

between 400-500 coffees a day, 

so it is no wonder he can make a 

good brew. 

In fact, his coffees are so good 

he has been named the best 

barista at the Columbus Coffee 

National Championship, held in 

Auckland recently. 

Mr Laurie said it was a huge 

achievement and he had been 

working hard to perfect his coffee 

since he started at Columbus 

Coffee Riccarton about three 

years ago. 

The 25-year-old started out as a 

barista at the Honeypot Cafe on 

Colombo St when it re-opened 

after the earthquakes in 2013. 

“It wasn’t until I started at 

Columbus Coffee that I started 

nailing my passion,” he said. 

He never was much of a coffeedrinker 

in high school but now his 

favourite coffee to make is a shortblack 

because it is “the closest 

flavour to coffee you can get.”

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Solutions to traffic congestion 

In the lead up to the local body elections, 

Southern View is asking candidates 

their views on topical issues within the 

community. This week, we ask Halswell 

Ward city council and community 

board candidates what they think of 

traffic congestion around Westmorland, 

and what they think should be done 

around Penruddock Rise and accessing 

Cashmere Rd. 

Elections 16 

Kevin Clarke: 

Halswell Ward 

city council 

and community 

board candidate 

Having spent time 

talking to local 

residents, there 

is no doubt that 

Westmorland has 

a traffic flow issue at the entrance to 

Penruddock Rise. There is no simple 

solution here since Westmorland is 

really one big cul-de-sac. However, 

traffic lights would certainly allow 

a more controlled traffic flow, but 

at the very least, a roundabout is a 

must have here. Something definitely 

needs to be done at the entrance to 

Penruddock Rise to alleviate this peak 

congestion.

Peter Laloli: 

Halswell Ward 

city council 

and community 

board 

candidate 

Like the residents 

of Westmorland, 

I am extremely 

concerned at the 

length of time that this matter has 

been before the community board 

and council. It is my understanding 

that money has been budgeted 

for in the (long term plan) for 

improvements to this intersection. I 

fail to understand why development 

contribution funds were not 

targeted in the current 200 section 

development.

No job too big or small 

Debbie Mora: Halswell 

Ward community 

board candidate 

The media reported of 

my concerns regarding 

traffic congestion 

back in October 2014 for 

Halswell, where the traffic 

congestion still has not 

been resolved and is still 

a serious concern to me and many of my 

community. The ever-increasing housing 

developments certainly impact on further 

congestion in and around all of Halswell. 

And I don’t have an easy resolvable immediate 

answer, especially with all these developments 

for the ever-increasing population in 

the west. I would anticipate that the council 

staff are continuing to study these developments 

and will have a traffic implementation 

plan in place. 

Ross McFarlane 

Halswell Ward 

community board 

candidate 

Lowering the speed to 

50km/h would have an 

immeadiate effectand 

is the cheapest, safest 

option. As well a traffic 

merging Island is required 

as a short term solution. Signalisation (as 

per the City plan) of the intersection is a 

logical possibility when the proposed East 

Hendersons Housing development opposite 

Francis Reserve occurs. This became 

operative 19th September. My fear is that 

the proposed traffic light placement at the 

Cashmere,Worsleys and Hoon Hay corners 

will see this issue manifest as the volume, 

after a green light change, will create a 

traffic line. The reverse red light gap line 

may help, but I doubt it.

The long term solutions: 

•Public transport needs significant improvement. 

•Make public transport more reliable and timely and 

generally attractive to users – this means improving 

bus priority measures in particular. 

•There needs to be a “one network” approach to 

public transport, and transport in Christchurch more 

generally. 

•Investment in infrastructure for active transport modes and other 

ways of supporting active transport. 

The short term solutions: 

•Residents to report traffic problems to police constantly – may 

increase traffic control. 

•Ride sharing, e.g. Uber. 

•A strong residents’ group could organise car-pooling. 

Chrys Horn: Halswell Ward city 

council candidate 

We are seeing more congestion all 

over the city, so I strongly support 

the development of the new off-road 

cycle network in Christchurch and 

better public transport – anything 

that provides different options for 

transport. Thinking only in terms 

of catering for cars is only going to 

increase the amount of congestion throughout the city. 

Wet day congestion points to the difference it makes 

when even a small number of people do use these 

other forms of transport. As for this specific case, we 

need to think about how subdivisions are designed 

with regard to exit points and work with communities 

to consider the best option in cases like this.

Our People 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Helping high school students excel 

April McLennan is 19-years-old and has set up 

her own trust to help high school students to 

pursue and excel in work they are passionate 

about. She spoke to Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

about setting up her own social enterprise, life 

being home-schooled and her trip to the Global 

Entrepreneurship Summit in Palo Alto, California 

You have set up an initiative to 

help other Christchurch high 

school students. Why did you 

set up Limitless Charitable 

Trust? 

Last year was my final year of 

school and I noticed so many 

people I knew were overwhelmed 

with career and study path options 

and were unsure on what 

way to go. At the same time I 

knew people who did work they 

were really passionate about and 

were working to their strengths 

and they could talk about their 

jobs all day. I just thought how 

cool it would be if we could all 

do work we are that passionate 

about. 

How will this initiative set 

you up for your ideal career? 

Basically we have a two-part 

programme and it is designed 

to equip students with the confidence, 

awareness and opportunities 

to pursue what they are 

passionate about. We are starting 

year 10 students with a Limitless 

Charitable Trust two-day conference 

in October. That includes 

talking to inspiring speakers. 

We will have a diverse range of 

speakers including Kiwibank 

Young New Zealander of the 

Year for 2015 Guy Ryan, Prime 

Minister John Key’s chief science 

adviser Dr Victoria Metcalf and 

entrepreneur Hannah Duder. 

The Zion Dance Studios will be 

performing. After the conference 

we will connect people to an 

online portal. It will connect students 

to opportunities that are 

relevant to them. For instance if 

they were passionate about the 

environment and are looking for 

work experience we can connect 

them to the organisation. 

Are high schools setting 

students up well enough for the 

workforce? 

I think it is really challengingwe 

do live in a world that is 

rapidly changing. The workforce 

is changing and it can be difficult 

for a traditional school to keep 

up with that. I feel that knowing 

who you are, what your strengths 

are and what your values are 

important. It should be a priority 

and that is why we are focusing 

on that area. I think it is important 

for students to know what it 

is like to go to university. 

Do you have a view on 

NCEA? 

Being home-schooled I haven’t 

done NCEA but I feel that 

maybe the biggest issue facing 

education is that it is not just 

academics that matters. It is your 

people skills, it is your ability to 

adapt which will be increasingly 

relevant. I feel there is a real need 

for a system that holistically addresses 

all areas. 

What was it like being homeschooled? 

I guess it was really different. 

I enjoyed it. I think the reason 

I enjoyed it was because it gave 

me the freedom to explore what I 

was interested in. My high school 

years were more like university. 

Do you feel like you missed 

out on the social side of high 

school? 

Being involved with lots of 

groups and clubs didn’t mean I 

missed out. It gives you an opportunity 

to meet people from a wide 

range of ages, backgrounds and 

perspectives. You make an effort 

to be part of those groups. I was 

involved in World Vision New 

Zealand groups which I meet a lot 

of cool people through. 

How has arranging the conference 

been going? 

It really stuck me in starting 

INSPIRING: April McLennan, 19, has set up her own trust to 

help high school students pursue jobs they are passionate 

about. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Limitless how many generous 

people are. We have got about 

50 people who are speaking and 

volunteering their time at the 

conference. We are also a charitable 

trust. I have three trustees 

who have great experience in 

their respective professions. 

What got you interested in 

social enterprise? 

I went to the Festival For The 

Future programme last year. 

They bring together a whole 

group of people who are innovators 

or thinkers passionate about 

a better future. Social enterprise 

was talked a lot about there. A 

lead-on from the Festival of the 

Future was the programme Live 

the Dream which is a social enterprise 

accelerator programme. 

You go into the programme with 

a problem you see in the world 

and in nine weeks they help you 

develop a solution. Limitless is 

what I developed over the summer 

with the programme. 

Tell me about your trip to 

Palo Alto in June? 

It was amazing. There were 

incredible speakers. US President 

Barack Obama and CEO of 

Facebook Mark Zuckerberg 

spoke. I also enjoyed meeting 

entrepreneurs from around the 

world and hearing about their 

experiences. It was amazing 

in spite of our differences how 

much we have in common. After 

the programme I connected with 

people including a guy from 

Montreal and a lady in Jordan 

who had really similar enterprises 

to Limitless. 

What was the most inspiring 

story or person you came 

across? 

I think meeting this lady from 

Jordan who had been working 

on a similar concept to Limitless. 

Wanting to get girls on a 

course she had been working on 

for 15 years. She started with a 

business that was separate to the 

education system and now she is 

creating curriculums that are being 

used in the education system 

and works with a big team. It was 

cool how one idea has developed 

and made an awesome impact. 

Also hearing President Obama 

was an obvious stand-out. A key 

moment in my life. He spoke 

about the biggest issues of today 

and how he sees the entrepreneurial 

spirit of being able to 

start your own business to create 

solutions to problems to where 

you live. He spoke about how the 

Government needs to step up 

and make it easier for people to 

start their own businesses. 

What do you like to do in 

your spare time when you are 

not setting up new businesses? 

I quite enjoy playing hockey 

and photography and I am still 

involved with World Vision. Just 

spending time outdoors with 

friends is what I love.

Somerfield School pupil helps 

Canterbury to cross-country win 

SOMERFIELD School pupil 

Angus Sevier’s win in the year 

8 boys 3000m race played a key 

role in Canterbury taking out the 

Phil Costley Shield last week. 

The shield is the symbol of primary 

and intermediate schools’ 

cross-country supremacy. 

Canterbury also won the Dave 

Dixon Relay Baton for the first 

time. Both trophies had been 

held by Wellington for the last 

three years. 

More than 3000 runners took 

part in the competition, representing 

Canterbury, South Canterbury, 

Tasman and Wellington 

at Waikanae Park last Thursday. 

The Primary Sports Canterbury 

team showed their 

dominance in the team events, 

winning six of the eight grades. 

Canterbury were commanding 

in the first two year 5 events, 

having the first four runners 

home over the undulating 2000m 

course, which included six uphills 

per lap. 

Sevier and Akiko Omori (St 

Andrew’s College) set the scene 

for the Canterbury team with 

victory in the boys and girls 

events respectively. 

There was an all-Canterbury 

top three in the year 8 girls race. 

Leila Dunlop from St Martins 

School finished in third, just 

three seconds behind race winner 

Rosa Blake from Heaton 

CHAMPION: Angus Sevier from Somerfield School won the 

year 5 2000m race. 

Intermediate. 

Canterbury won the final 

event, which saw eight runners 

from each region run one 

kilometre each in a team relay 

race. Canterbury won the race 

in a time of 28 minutes and 59 

seconds.

Cashmere players 

take MVP awards 

CASHMERE HIGH School’s 

Connor McLaughlin and 

Joshua Dela Cruz were two 

of the big winners at last 

week’s Canterbury Basketball 

Association awards. 

Dela Cruz was given the 

MVP award for the Canterbury 

under-15 competition, while 

McLaughlin was named MVP in 

the under-17 competition. 

Averaging 19 points, seven 

assists, six steals and three rebounds 

per game throughout 

the season, Dela Cruz played a 

key role in helping Cashmere 

advance to last week’s under-15 

final. 

He also produced the goods 

when it mattered, scoring 15 

points and being named final 

MVP in his team’s 67-64 championship 

win against Wharenui 

Gators. 

McLaughlin had an outstanding 

year in the under-17 competition 

averaging 28 points, seven 

steals, six rebounds and four 

assists per game on his way to 

collecting the MVP award. 

Unfortunately McLaughlin 

was not available for the final

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | SEPTEMBER 2016 

EQC confirms Canterbury staff numbers for 2017 

The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has 

confirmed the shape of the organisation 

for 2017, including the number of positions 

in Canterbury. 

“As our work in Canterbury enters its final phase 

in 2017, we will obviously need to be smaller. 

From January 2017, EQC will be an organisation 

of about 458 people. Of these, at least 216 will 

be based in Christchurch,” EQC Chief Executive 

Ian Simpson says. 

“The new structure retains a core of specialist staff 

who will continue to meet the needs of our 

remaining Canterbury customers. 

“In 2017, EQC will continue to resolve remedial 

inquiries on properties where we have managed a 

repair, and to resolve claims for drains damaged by 

the earthquakes. There is also a range of 

administrative and financial tasks to be completed,” 

Mr Simpson says. 

Remedial inquiries 

An important focus for EQC in 2017 will be resolving 

the remaining remedial inquiries from Canterbury 

customers who have had a managed repair. 

With about 68,000 managed repairs carried out as 

part of the Canterbury Home Repair Programme 

(CHRP) largely completed, EQC and Fletcher EQR 

have jointly agreed a new approach to completing 

the remaining remedial work in Canterbury. 

From January 2017, EQC will expand its role 

managing all remedial inquiries to include 

management of any resulting remedial repairs. 

This means it will liaise with customers and 

contractors to complete any additional work, where 

it’s required. 

“The new approach will streamline decision making 

by bringing all the elements of resolving remedial 

inquiries into one organisation,” Mr Simpson says. 

Fletcher has agreed to continue its role in 2017 but 

likely with a smaller team and a focus on managing 

any underfloor work arising from the joint CHRP 

subfloor review. More detailed proposals on this 

will be finalised over the next month or two. 

As well as its work in Canterbury for 2017, EQC 

needs to be ready to respond to any future natural 

disaster events anywhere in New Zealand and 

continue its work of negotiating and managing 

natural disaster reinsurance for the country. EQC 

will also continue settling the average 5,000 to 

EQC Chief Executive Ian Simpson 

8,000 natural disaster claims received nationally 

each year, funding research to the tune of $16 

million per year, and educating the public on 

natural hazards and how to mitigate them. 

3,000 kids descend on the Alpine Fault 

Expert Sam and teacher Shelley talk about tsunami risk on the West Coast. 

EQC’s newest virtual field trip, 

“Geohazards”, was launched 

last month with 130 classes 

taking part (that’s over 3,000 

Kiwi kids). The CORE Education 

LEARNZ virtual field trips allow 

New Zealand’s school children to 

visit some of our most fascinating 

locations without having to leave 

the classroom. From Cape 

Reinga to the Bluff – we’ve got 

you covered. 

A LEARNZ teacher travels alongside 

subject experts to go on location 

and communicate their 

experiences with students through 

online video and audio feeds. 

The trips are designed to help 

improve understanding of 

geohazards, how we as a nation 

manage those hazards, and to raise 

awareness of EQC’s role in helping 

build New Zealand’s resilience. 

Last month’s trip was the ninth 

funded by EQC and it explored 

earthquakes, landslips and tsunami 

on the West Coast as well as what 

might happen when the Alpine 

Fault next ruptures. 

On the Coast, LEARNZ teacher 

Shelley Hersey joined Alistair 

Davies, a natural hazards PhD 

student from the University of 

Canterbury, and Dr Sam Hampton, 

organiser of geology field 

programmes in New Zealand and 

University of Canterbury lecturer. 

They showed students where you 

can see the Alpine Fault in the 

landscape, they pointed out scars 

created by past earthquakes and 

explained how tsunami, in lakes as 

well as the sea, could be triggered 

by quakes.

$25million paid out for Feb 2016 quake claims 

The Earthquake Commission has passed the 

halfway mark for settling the February 2016 

earthquake claims, says EQC’s February 

2016 Event Response Manager, Jayne Lapin. 

Ms Lapin says that of the total 14,574 

claims received for the 14 and 29 February 

earthquakes this year, followed by the 

aftershocks, EQC has resolved 8,595 

by cash settlement of just over $25 million 

as at 19 September. 

“You can tell that Cantabrians know what is 

and isn’t earthquake damage, because up to 

75% of the claims received so far have been 

accepted, and average $4,761 per claim. 

“With the help of customers providing most 

information up front – claims are taking an 

average of three weeks to reach settlement.” 

she said. 

Ms Lapin says it is heartening to see that the new 

approach which uses both on site and phonebased 

assessments has empowered customers to 

provide their earthquake damage data, 

supported by photographs, was working well. 

“We have been surveying every customer who 

has been through the process and whose claims 

have been resolved – whether their claims were 

accepted or declined. We wanted to see how 

the process worked so we could make changes 

as we went where we needed to. 

“To date, 87% agreed that EQC valued and used 

their time wisely when dealing with them 

through the claims process. 

EQC will have contacted almost every customer 

to discuss the details of their February claims by 

the end of September to book their assessment. 

“This means that, other than people who delay 

their claim or whom we can’t get hold of, we will 

meet our target to resolve all claims by the end of 

2016, hopefully earlier,” Ms Lapin said. 

EQC is continuing to work with customers who 

have lodged claims from the Canterbury sequence 

earthquakes, including those in the Canterbury 

Home Repair (CHRP) and land programmes, and 

the settlement of the February claims will not slow 

the progress of these programmes. 

EQC sets out 

process for 

remedial requests 

The Earthquake Commission (EQC) has streamlined 

its process for handling new remedial requests from 

customers received from 1 August, 2016. 

EQC’s Head of Dwelling Settlement, Michael Price, says 

the new process aims for faster resolution with customers 

having the opportunity to provide information upfront and 

state their preference for a cash settlement or a managed 

repair where remedial work is required. 

The changes have been introduced after positive 

customer feedback on the process used to manage 

claims from the February 2016 earthquake, where 

customers had the opportunity to submit more 

information upfront to enable quicker turnaround. 

“Many customers going through the February 2016 

claims management process are positive or very positive 

about their experience,” Mr Price says. 

“EQC will now use this approach for new remedial 

requests, and customers will be asked to send in 

information such as photographs and builders’ quotes.” 

Mr Price says while cash settlement will provide a quicker 

resolution, it may not suit everyone. 

“So if a customer prefers that a contractor do the work, 

then EQC will arrange for that to happen during 2017. 

EQC’s Community Contact Team and independent 

customer advocate groups will be available to support 

any cash-settled customers who aren’t confident in 

sourcing their own contractors,” says Mr Price. 

Of the approximate 6,900 open remedial requests 

currently on EQC’s books, 3,000 properties have been 

identified as not being able to have any remedial repair 

completed before 2017. The new process, while largely 

designed for new remedial requests, will be available to 

these customers also and EQC is making contact with 

them to ask if they would prefer a cash settlement or wait 

for a managed repair during 2017.

HEALTH & BEAUTY 

Effective treatment for many 

types of pain 

Complementary medicine is becoming 

increasingly sought after in New Zealand 

as people become aware of the many 

different methods of treating pain and ill 

health that are available here. 

Christchurch-based Chinese health 

practitioner Lan Xiao has developed a 

method of treatment, which she says has 

as an immediate affect on a wide variety of 

pains and health conditions. It is known 

as ‘acupuncture without needles’. 

Lan describes it as being similar to 

reflexology in that the problem area on 

the body is determined through pressure, 

but is much more accurate. 

Trained as a medical practitioner in 

China, Lan came to New Zealand in 1992 

and began practising acupuncture in 

1995. From that discipline she created her 

acupuncture without needles, and uses 

it to treat people of all ages with many 

different types of pain in all parts of the 

body. This can include arthritic pain, MS, 

and pain from injury. 

“For example, the treatment has been 

very successful for people who have 

painful joints caused by arthritis,” Lan 

says. 

Acupuncture without needles is also 

effective in restoring energy levels, 

she says. 

“As people age their energy is reduced, 

and this can lead to other health 

problems. The acupuncture without 

needles treatment is like the body’s 

battery being charged up again, so their 

energy levels are restored, which in turn 

helps overcome their health problems.” 

Lan also uses it to treat depression 

and anxiety, and says it can help with 

addiction problems as well. 

“After the treatment the person has no 

cravings – because it treats the cause of 

the addiction.” 

She says the results are immediate, 

though people may need several 

treatments, depending on the extent 

of their health problem, and while it 

is slightly painful for few moments, 

everyone can tolerate it. 

Lan Xiao’s website, www. 

drlansreflexologynetwork.co.nz, includes 

videos of people whose health problems 

have been overcome after receiving the 

treatment. 

Her clinic is located at 108 Sawyers 

Arms Road, and her hours are Monday, 

Wednesday and Friday from 12pm to 

5pm. To discuss your health issues or 

make an appointment, phone 323 4168 

or 027 231 8388. 

Lan describes it as 

being similar to 

reflexology in that the 

problem area on the 

body is determined 

through pressure, but 

is much more accurate.

THE shared title of the Christchurch Casino “The 

Jazz Library” Charity Poker Event champion for 

2016 went to REACH Child Cancer represented by 

Nick Henare and to Heart Kids Canterbury 

represented by Pat Lodge. Lynne Taylor took an 

admirable third place on behalf of the Diabetes 

Christchurch Inc. 

The Jazz Library Charity Poker Event was held 

by Christchurch Casino with $10,000 up for grabs 

for the eleven deserving charities to play for. The 

event was held on Thursday 15th September in 

Sixty6 on Peterborough. The multipurpose 

function venue had a prohibition theme with a 

library at the front entrance and a speak-easy 

below, including “Myrtle”, the 1929 Austin 7C- Cab 

Van from by Happy Tours and scintillating 

dancing and entertainment throughout the 

evening by the talented Epic Entertainment team. 

The invited guests in their 1920’s & 30’s 

ensembles relaxed with the sultry jazz tones of the 

“River City Jazz Men” and enjoyed learning to play 

black jack and roulette with some even testing 

their croupier skills, all of which combined to 

create a fun atmosphere throughout the evening 

and a memorable occasion. Mike King was a 

masterful MC, adding humour, energy and poker 

knowledge to the tournament. 

With $10,000 at stake for three lucky charities, 

competition at the tables was fierce as even though 

this was a fun gaming event the players soon 

realised they were playing in a structured poker 

tournament and got their game faces on! The top 

eleven players then competed at the final table to 

play off for the top three spots to take home the 

cash for their charity; finalists only found out 

who they were playing on behalf of once they had 

played their last chip – creating an exciting energy 

amongst players and viewers alike. 

The eleven charities who were represented at 

this event were the Cystic Fibrosis Association, 

Ronald McDonald House, Child Cancer
