Students aim to build a better world
• By Julia Evans
STUDENTS FROM Hornby
High School and Canterbury
University will don their tool
belts as part of a collaborative
building programme.
The Halswell-Hornby-
Riccarton Community Board
approved a $5000 grant to go
towards the Young Community
Builders programme.
It aims to link high school students
who have ideas for building
within the community with
university students as mentors.
“This project will provide a
process to bring those ideas to
light by connecting high school
students, university students and
community organisations,” city
council staff said.
Hornby High principal Robin
Sutton said he saw great merit in
the project.
“I speak for all my colleagues
in saying we’d be in for any future
evolution of this,” he said.
The programme is proposed to
run for six weeks from September
11 and will involve a range
of high schools.
Second
chance
possible
for cycle
scheme
• By Julia Evans
THE CAMPAIGN to get more
people cycling to Jellie Park Sport
and Recreation Centre may get a
second chance.
The Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board was
given a briefing by city council
western area operations manager
Martin McGregor at its meeting
last Monday.
Mr McGregor said the trial ran
smoothly but had only a “small-tomoderate
uptake” so it wouldn’t be
continuing.
But the board disputed that.
It has requested the incentive be
trialled again, but this time with a
more significant incentive, such as
free pool entry for cyclists.
The board also said a longer trial
was necessary, as well as a more
robust promotion so people are
more aware of it.
Board chairman David Cartwright
said: “One month is great,
but you need to do it for a minimum
of six.”
The second trial round will
hopefully begin in September and
run for at least six months.

GOOD TO see the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board has forced
a rethink of the city council’s
decision to abandon the cycle to
Jellie Park scheme (see page 1).
Last week we reported the
incentivised scheme had been
aborted and would not be
implemented at other recreation
centres aorund the city.
Odd at a time when the city
council is spending squillions on
cycleways.
So full marks to the community
board for putting its foot
down with the city council.
The board has requested there
be a more significant incentive,
such as free pool entry for
cyclists.
The board also said a longer
trial was necessary, as well as a
more robust promotion so people
are become more aware of it.
The outcome will be known
fairly soon. – Barry Clarke

Firebug returns to Ilam, Burnside
• By Julia Evans
POLICE FEAR for
residents safety as arson
attacks ramp up again after
a lull in Burnside and Ilam.
The police are investigating
after six wheelie bins
were set alight in the early
hours of Saturday morning.
Those working the case
are urging the perpetrator
to talk to police before
anyone is seriously hurt,
detective sergeant Michael
Freeman said.
Four bins were burnt
on Westburn Tce, one on
Chevron Pl and the last bin
was set alight on Greers Rd.
A garage on Chevron
Pl was also damaged by
fire.
“Police are treating the
incidents as arson and
believe they are linked to
previous wheelie bin fires
in the area,” detective sergeant
Freeman said.
The previous four attacks
happened in May but there
had been a period of at
least a month where there
had been no fires.
Greers Rd resident James
Wallace, whose flaming
bin scorched the side of his
home while his children
were asleep in May, said it
would eventually end in
loss of life.
“It’s attempted murder,
the wheelie bin was up
against the house and
could’ve set it on fire and
someone could’ve died,”
Mr Wallace said.
He said he was doing
a letterbox drop telling
people to keep their bins
hidden.
Residents in the area
have also been told by
police to keep their wheelie
bins out of sight and off
the road, even behind their
house.
Police are seeking reports
of anyone acting suspiciously
around Westburn
Tce, Chevron Pl and Greers
Rd between midnight and
1.30am on Saturday morning
as well as any security
footage.
And if people have not
yet reported an arson on
or around their property,
they should contact police
immediately.
Anyone with information
should phone 363 7400
or to speak to Crimestoppers
anonymously on 0800
555 111.

Common sense over car parks prevails
WESTERN NEWS
Readers respond
to the article in the
Western News last
week regarding the city
council’s decision to cut
an incentive programme
that encourages people
to cycle to Jellie Park
Recreation and Sport
Centre
Fendalton city councillor
Jamie Gough writes
about the common sense
approach used by his
community board
On June 20, Western News
reported on the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community
Board’s decision to quash the
removal of car parks outside the
Holmwood Rd shops.
The headline read – Businesses
influence decision to keep car
parks.
That was fair, however, I’d suggest
the headline could have read
– Reality influences decision to
keep car parks.
The plan and staff recommendation
was well-intentioned –
Installation of a pedestrian island
on Holmwood Rd and minor
works resulting in the removal of
six car parks from in front of the
block of shops.
Like any decision, there are
pros and cons.
In this instance my view, the
MEETING: (Left to right) – The Cook Shop owner Elizabeth Fry with David Cartwright, Jamie
Gough and Gerry Brownlee.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
board’s view, and overwhelmingly
the local community’s
view, was that the cons would far
outweigh any pros.
Gerry Brownlee, as local MP,
David Cartwright, as community
board chairman and I met with
the Holmwood Rd business operators
who were horrified by the
proposal.
No one wants safety compromised,
however, the “safety
enhancement” was suggested to
particularly assist road-crossing
Rangi Ruru Girls’ School students.
This was somewhat baffling,
given Rangi Ruru is on Rossall St
– they cross at that street, which
already has a pedestrian island.
Further to this, the lifeblood
of these local businesses is the
convenient on-street parking, so
affecting their viability for a solution
to a non-existent problem
seemed dubious at best.
Parking is already atrocious
here.
I’d suggest if it went ahead
you’d be creating an additional,
yet irrelevant, crossing path to
a block of vacant shops, as they
would probably go out of business.
The local community engaged
with local democracy and the reality
of the situation won the day.
Sometimes major overhauls
occur to ensure common sense
prevails but sometimes it’s deciding
to do nothing that proves to
be the best decision.
Jillian Nuth – Our traffic
is downright dangerous. It’s a
great idea but with my experience
as a pedestrian walking
everywhere, there’s just no way I
would cycle around this city.
Anna Henderson – I didn’t
know about this, would have
done it. Maybe publicise more?
Akio Asakura – Idealist
idiots. People buy cars to be
comfortable in their own space
– music, heater etc. Oh, we
should ride bicycles. No, people
who want to use trains, buses
and bicycles will. However, most
people drive cars.
Sarah Lashbrooke – I
never knew about it either unfortunately.
It sounds great.
Bronwyn Hendry – Maybe
the real question is – can people
who might use the pool afford
cycles? A bit of demographic
research may be indicated here.

Scheme may get second chance
•From page 1
One month did not measure a
trend, Mr Cartwright said.
“We don’t want a dot, we need
a line across several months and
then we can find out trends,” Mr
Cartwright said.
The initial trial in February
meant if you cycled to Jellie Park
five times, you received free pool
entry and a bottle of water.
There were 117 visits by
cyclists in the month, which
was deemed a success by Mr
Cartwright as well as board
member and chairwoman of the
Jellie Park Bike Initiative Project
committee Bridget Williams.
It was intended the scheme
would be rolled out across all
city council sport and recreation
centres, such as Pioneer and
Graham Condon.
“We need to think about how
we publicise it like notices in
the car park and where you lock
your bike up that says thank
you for cycling, have you heard
about our new incentive,” Mr
Cartwright said.
Ms Williams said it would just
take more time for the public
profile to build.
“I don’t see any harm in it
continuing, people just need a
wee bit of a carrot
. . . good things take time,” Ms
Williams said. The second trial
will have to be approved by the
city council before it goes ahead
in September.
PEDAL: The Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
member Bridget Williams wants to see more bicycles in these
stands.
Council land
may become
pistol club
• By Julia Evans
AN EMPTY piece of land in
Templeton could become space
for a pistol, archery or paintball
club.
Or it could be turned into another
quarry for the area.
At last week’s meeting, the
Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
Community Board reviewed surplus
city council-owned property
in its area.
This included the 40469m sq
Templeton reserve.
It was previously leased out for
grazing. However, city council
staff said there was “some doubt
from a practical perspective” as to
why it was still being held.
“It seems to be a bit of a legacy
property.”
Staff recommended the board
consider it for a number of clubs
in the area looking for a location,
such as pistol, archery or paintball
clubs.
Staff also said: “There is interest
from an adjoining land owner for
quarrying purposes.”
The board resolved to have a
workshop to commence consideration
of the property review
process in the wards.

Technology trust
in pipeline
A TRUST is being developed to
get technology to children that
couldn’t otherwise afford it in
Hornby.
The access to
technology as a
learning, creative
and sharing tool
is now critical to
children as they
progress through
their formative
education years,
The Hub Hornby
centre manager Jason
Marsden (right) said.
Most children have access in
their homes, classrooms or on
their person.
But for some that isn’t the case.
“Especially amongst Maori
and Pasifika communities,
which are over-represented in
the tail of underachievement,”
Mr Marsden said.
Current “trustees-in-waiting”
include former Mayor Garry
Moore, Janine Morrell-Gunn
from Whitebait Media,
development director for
the Centre of Contemporary

Rockquest winners
• By Julia Evans
RUN77 – a band made
up of five aspiring
musical talents from
Christ’s College – won the
Canterbury regional final
of Smokefree Rockquest.
The band is made up
of two brothers – George
and Angus Murray, Angus
Mossman, Henry Phelps
and Robbie Rolleston.
“We went mental,” said
guitarist and lead singer,
year 12 student Angus
Mossman.
In spite of, according to
Angus, some “questionable
dance moves and fist
pumps”, their many hours
of practice paid off.
The band practiced tirelessly
in the lead up to the
regional final. They were
at school at 7am every day
to rehearse, focusing on
musicianship as well as
stage presence.
The national finals are
on September 2 but the
more than 30 regional
finalists will be culled to
eight after bands submit 12
minutes of original footage
of video to the judges.
The eight finalists will
be announced at the end
of July.
Rock band tutor Nolan
Hungerford said doing well
in a band doesn’t happen
by accident.
“Before the boys video

their original songs on
Thursday, they will have
put in 30 or 40 hours
work,” Mr Hungerford
said.
The boys are currently
juggling practice with
internal assessment and
two were also in the school
production – Singin’ in the
Rain.
“If you want good
results, you have to put in
the proper work. Being in
a band is learning about
everything from how to
plug in your guitar, how to
hold an audience, how to
do a gig, as well as all the
ins and outs of the music
world,” Mr Hungerford
said.

that encourages people to cycle
to Jellie Park Recreation and Sport
Centre
• Continued from page 4
Judy Fanning – Who knew? Sadly I
missed the promo.
Tegan Osborne – The amount of
times myself or my partner has nearly
been hit because drivers aren’t looking
where they’re pulling out with those cycle
lanes down St Asaph St is crazy! It’s just
too dangerous because drivers and pedestrians
aren’t looking for cyclists. I feel safer
on a road without cycle lanes. But people
just need to watch where they’re going the
lanes are a good thing because it makes
thigs somewhat easy, it’s just the idiots who
need glasses..
Gavin Simon – Its winter. Not a good
time to cycle unless you are especially
dedicated. Wait for summer for the cycle
usage numbers to increase.
Kylie Mills – I bike... but its damn cold
I understand why it’s not used a lot yet...
the food court. If they took the cup away,
because we were teens and had little in the
way of common sense, it would have lost
its fun. Remove the free wifi and these kids
will get bored and go next door to the mall
where security might nab them (which
is probably the reason why they’re in the
exchange, I dunno).
Bronwyn Dobier – This is typical of
our country lately. Why do the scumbags
have all the rights and Joe Public gets
screwed over! People need to grow a pair
and deal with issues and make New Zealand
safe again!
Kevin Kiwibird – What about the
rights of people to quiet enjoyment of the
bus lounge or to walk the streets around
it without fear or intimidation? Don’t let
anywhere be held hostage by these slithering
idiots.
Paul Cull – I don’t get why the Bill of
Rights act would apply at the bus lounge.
Surely it is a waiting area available to
legitimate users of the bus service, and as
such neither an area for the “movement of
people” nor a “public place”? Just like they
have no legal right to hang out being obnoxious
brats in my living room, wouldn’t
the same principal of not being an open
public space apply to the bus lounge?

Great wig day
PUPILS FROM Cotswold School
donned their wigs to raise money
for a very worthy cause.
The school raised $632.40
during the recent Wig
Wednesday to raise money for
the Child Cancer Foundation,
which provides personalised
support for children diagnosed
with cancer and their families.
Every week, more than three
children in New Zealand are
diagnosed with cancer.
The Child Cancer Foundation
receives no direct funding from
the Government, so relies on
the generosity of the public and
events like Wig Wednesday.

CBHS dominate
under-18 Crusaders
development side
• By Andrew King
A HUGE portion of the players selected
in the Crusaders under-18 development
squad have been picked from
Christchurch Boys’ High.
A 55-man team was named on
Wednesday with 21 of them coming
from CBHS, St Andrew’s and St Bede’s
colleges.
Eight Canterbury-based players were
also selected in the wider training

CBHS have 15 players in the squad,
as well as another two in the wider

hero Alex Harford.
Harford has come off the bench in
the last two UC Championship games
for CBHS and kicked the winning
points late in the game.
St Andrew’s will host the players
in a training camp from Sunday to
Wednesday before a squad of 25 is
selected to travel to Wellington to play
the under-18 Hurricanes.
The match will be a curtain-raiser for
the Hurricanes v Crusaders on July 15.

REWARD: Villa Maria College student Navajo Prentice will
compete for New Zealand in cross-country in August.
Villa and Middleton students
make cross-country team
• By Andrew King
VILLA MARIA student Navajo
Prentice and Middleton Grange
student Sofia Kennedy have
been named in the New Zealand

team.
They will travel with the
12-strong team to Hobart from
August 12-14 to compete in the
Australian schools cross-country
championships.

Christchurch secondary schools
road race and Christchurch crosscountry
championships both held
in May and said it was her goal to
make the national squad.
“I am looking forward to wearing
the New Zealand singlet and
getting to know the other athletes
in the team,” she said.
Prentice has been coached by
Mike Riley for the past three years.
Leading up to her recent races,
she had been training most days
of the week along with competing
for North Canterbury in the Saturday
club cross-country races.
School sports director Jacqui
Restieaux said it was great to see
her hard work recognised.
“She has represented the school
over the last five years and just
quietly works away in the background.
She is committed and determined
but also very humble,”
she said.
Kennedy said she has been
focusing on basketball for the past
three years rather than distance
running.
She was named in the under-18
national basketball squad as a
non-travelling reserve for the

Tsubasa Nisbet have been
selected in the under-18 national
women’s basketball team.
They will travel to Guam for

Championships which starts
on Sunday and goes through to
Saturday.
Book, daughter of former New

buzz to play for her country.
“It’s a real honour to be able to

Book said it would be great to

Middleton head of sports Tim

Nisbet said it was a goal to

“This will be a great chance

last week.
Cold conditions could not
dampen the spirits of the
team dubbed the ‘beasts’ as
they celebrated their 3-1 win
over Lincoln High at the
Christchurch Football Centre,
where all league games are
played this year.
Coach David Williams said
the game was played in great
spirit.
“The boys were very happy
to end up with their hands
on the shield at the full-time
whistle,” he said.
It is the third time the
shield, considered the
Ranfurly Shield of high school
football, has changed hands
this season.
In an ironic twist,
Middleton, which held it at the
start of the season, will have
a chance to get it back when
they play Burnside at 5.45pm
tomorrow.
Meanwhile, St Thomas
have been confirmed in the
nationals tournament in
Napier in September.
They, along with Lincoln
High, Cashmere High and
St Andrew’s College, will
compete against the top 32

teams for the title.
St Thomas will be on a high
when they run out against
Shirley Boys’ High at 4pm
tomorrow.
Coach Richard Washington
said it was a great effort and
a fitting way to send off the
year 13 boys who will not be
playing next year.
“Credit goes to the boys
for sticking to processes. So
far they have executed game
plans 99 per cent of the time
and really have formed a tight
team, it’s a family feel and
we all look after each other,”
Washington said.
He said they will need to
step up to finish the season
off and look towards the
tournament after that.
Riccarton High will have
a bye tomorrow, while
Christchurch Boys’ High
will play Christ’s at 7.30pm
after suffering a 3-0 loss to
Riccarton last week.

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the right heat
pump for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more
convenient than a log burner as you just need
to press a button. But how do you decide
what is best? Choosing the right sized heat
pump is key to ensuring optimum comfort
levels. Every situation varies and it is therefore
important to get professional advice from heat
pump experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have a
very discreet way of heating your whole home
to a constant temperature throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that
is suitable for the size of the space you wish
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area
taken into consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows and ceiling
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps
available with different heating outputs so it
is important to select the correct size for your
requirements that will handle the job but not
be unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat pump
is also extremely important. The cheapest
installation is a back to back where the outdoor
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor
unit however this is not necessarily always
the best option. It is vital that the indoor
unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly
in their outdoor entertaining area or right
outside their bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands
have come and gone over the years but there
are a number of manufacturers who provide
reputable and reliable products. All brands
vary in their energy efficiency, quietness of
systems and price, so it depends on your
application as to which will be most suitable.
Major brands such as Panasonic, Fujitsu,
Mitsubishi, Daikin, Toshiba and Hitachi are
all reliable brands backed up by good technical
after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but
also validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing a
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi
capabilities.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no
obligation quote and will come to your home
to see what is required. Visit our website at
www.enviromaster.co.nz.
The facts about
home ventilation
Balanced Pressure vs Positive Pressure
Under the New Zealand Building Code,
all buildings, including residential, need to
be suitably ventilated, either with opening
windows or forced ventilation. Clause G4.1
states: “The objective of this provision is
to safeguard people from illness or loss of
amenity due to lack of fresh air.” There are
many benefits to forced, or mechanical,
ventilation over opening windows, including
warmth, security, reduction of outside noises
and reduction of condensation.
Traditional domestic ventilation systems
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in from
outside via the roof space and force the stale air
out through gaps around windows and doors.
The incoming air from these
systems has to be heated or
cooled to keep the house warm
in winter or cool in summer.
The Smooth-Air HEX390 is
a ‘balanced pressure’ system. It
extracts air from the house and
at the same time brings in fresh
air. These two streams of air
pass through a heat exchanger,
which warms incoming air in
winter and cools in summer if
air conditioning is being used.
This means that up to 80% of
the energy which would be
wasted using a traditional positive pressure
system is recovered, resulting in significant
energy savings and therefore lower heating or
cooling costs.
Until recently, balanced pressure ventilation
systems have been considerably more
expensive than traditional positive pressure
systems. However, with Smooth-Air’s unique
manufacturing capabilities, a HEX390
balanced pressure system can be installed for
a similar price as a traditional positive pressure
system.

Supporting your bowel and digestive
function helps prevent disease
It is most important to keep the
whole digestive and elimination
systems of the body working efficiently.
Otherwise toxins that have not been
eliminated set the stage for disease.
Many diseases have been linked with
micro-organisms (virus) or a bacterial
component. Generally these microorganisms
or bacteria can only survive
due to the fact that the environment
they are in is suitable for their survival.
Non eliminated toxins are probably
one of the main causative factors for
their survival. We know that when the
digestive system and bowel function
are poor we have many more health
problems. These include arthritis, digestive
problems like reflux and stomach pain,
bladder infections, chronic skin conditions
such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes, poor
eyesight, pain and inflammation, tumors
and a weakened immune system just to
name a few.
Nature’s Sunshine LBS II contains a
highly effective blend of natural herbs to
support the whole digestive system and it
is especially effective at cleansing the lower
bowel and intestinal tract. It is commonly
used for arthritis, constipation, diarrhea,
digestive problems, dry stool, fever, colds
and influenza, flatulence, gallstones, gout,
skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis,
urinary infections, liver dysfunction,
Candida, weakened immune function and
for people who want to keep their health as
good as possible.
The herbs in LBS II help stimulate the
production of digestive fluids and bile
for efficient digestion. This alone may
help prevent many diseases as a properly
working digestive system will itself
neutralise many disease causing organisms
before they have a chance to cause any
problems. LBS II also stimulates peristaltic
action of the colon effectively cleansing
the colon of any accumulated build-ups of
waste material. It also relaxes abdominal
cramping and spasms, enhances liver
function, purifies the blood, neutralizes
acidic conditions, helps destroy intestinal
parasites and worms, and fights infection.
Keeping your digestive system and
bowels functioning efficiently is definitely
an important step in obtaining and
maintaining good long term health.
LBS II and further information is
available from the Natural Health
Advisers at Marshall’s Health & Natural
Therapy, 110 Seaview Road, New

Osteoporosis is a serious condition
...but research shows it can be reversed!
Osteoporosis is not taken as a serious
condition by most people! Most people
don’t realise they have osteoporosis until
a fracture happens, as there are usually
no signs or symptoms. Fractures can
commonly be debilitating with chronic
pain and can lead to early mortality.
Fractures kill more women than all
gynaecological cancers put together and
one in six women taken to hospital with
a hip fracture, will not come out alive and
men fare even worse. Around one in three
women and one in twelve men are affected
with osteoporosis.
The most common osteoporotic fractures
are of the wrist, spine, shoulder and hip.
Vertebral collapse is a compression fracture
and causes back pain often with shooting
pains due to compression of the nerves.
Multiple vertebral fractures lead to a
stooped posture, loss of height and chronic
pain with reduced mobility. Hip fractures,
in particular, usually require prompt
surgery, as there is a serious risk associated
with it of deep vein thrombosis and
pulmonary embolism leading to increased
mortality.
Osteoporosis literally means “bones with
holes”. It occurs when bones lose minerals
such as calcium more quickly than the
body can replace them. Although calcium
is essential for bone health other minerals
like magnesium, zinc and trace minerals
like silica, boron, manganese, copper are
essential also. Vitamin’s D3 and K2 have
been shown to be essential in a bone
support program.
A less well known mineral strontium,
that is naturally found in your bones
has been researched and found in
four landmark studies to actually
reverse bone loss when sufficient other
nutrients are present. One study of 1,649
postmenopausal women with osteoporosis
who had had at least one fracture were
divided into two groups. Both groups
took vitamin D and calcium supplements.
One group were also given 680mg/day
of strontium. After the three year study
the strontium group showed an unheard
of average bone growth of 8.1%. This
study shows that osteoporosis can not
only be halted but may even be reversed
and without the side effects of common
osteoporosis drugs.
Further information on how to
support your bone density and overall
health is available from the natural
health specialists at Marshall’s Health
& Natural Therapy, 110 Seaview Road,
New Brighton, Phone: 388-5757. We are
Always Happy to Help!
BREAKTHROUGH AGAINST OSTEOPOROSIS
Osteoporosis, the weakening of the bone is a serious health threat
that often leads to severe pain, fractures & early mortality. Research
has found the bones can be re-mineralised & strengthened when
the required nutrients are present. Minerals calcium, magnesium &
vitamins D3 & K2 are essential but are not enough in many cases.
A missing link appears to be the mineral strontium.
Research shows strontium to positively affect bone density.
- Supports strong healthy bones, teeth & nails
- Is a naturally occurring mineral often lacking in the
modern diet
- Found in healthy bones & teeth but lacking in people
with osteoporosis

Trees and Power Lines
The responsibilities of tree owners and Orion under the
Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003
Orion New Zealand owns and operates the electricity distribution network in central
Canterbury between the Waimakariri and Rakaia rivers and from the Canterbury coast
to Arthur’s Pass. Trees touching power lines account for 10-20% of all unplanned power
outages on our network. If you see a tree touching a power line, or any other hazardous
tree condition, please contact us immediately on 03 363 9898 or 0800 363 9898.
This advertisement provides a general notice of the Electricity (Hazards from Trees)
Regulations 2003 and the dangers of trees near power lines. More detail on these issues
can be found on our website www.oriongroup.co.nz or by phoning us on 03 363 9898.
The Electricity (Hazards from Trees) Regulations 2003
The regulations set out the responsibilities of electricity line companies and tree owners.
The purpose of the regulations is to protect the safety of the public and help to ensure a
secure supply of electricity. The regulations:
• define safe separation distances between trees and power lines
• specifies who is responsible for ensuring clearances are maintained
• places potential liability on the tree owner if any damage or accident occurs due to
trees touching power lines. (Note that the word “trees” includes all types of vegetation,
including shrubs, hedges and climbing vines.)
What are the dangers?
Trees near power lines need to be trimmed or removed for the following reasons:
• children like to climb trees and when trees are close to power lines there is a risk of
serious injury or death
• in severe weather conditions, vegetation can become electrically “live” and may
electrocute anyone or anything that touches it
• while a tree may not touch a power line in fine weather, branches can bend or break in
wind or snow storms, causing serious damage and possibly prolonged power outages
• in dry conditions, electrical sparking caused by branches or windblown debris on lines
may cause fires.
Minimum distances required between trees and power lines
The minimum distances that must be maintained between trees and power lines, defined in
the regulations, are outlined in the diagram to the right. A common sense approach, by tree
owners trimming trees early, will generally prevent trees touching power lines.
To maintain a safe distance from power lines some trees require cutting or trimming
more frequently than other trees, but if it is determined that cutting or trimming cannot
satisfactorily meet the requirement then removing the tree is recommended. Other
situations may require trees to be felled because they are at a distance that is considered
to be a hazard due to falling during storms or being diseased.
Orion’s tree management programme
Orion’s tree management programme is largely governed by the Electricity (Hazards from
Trees) Regulations 2003. Our programme involves education, monitoring and the cut/trim
or removal of trees that threaten to come into contact with power lines. Through this
programme we work with tree owners to minimise the risk of their trees touching power lines.
We currently undertake periodic cutting or trimming of vegetation within the notice zone.
The intent of this cutting or trimming is to support safety and reduce the risk of power
outages. This periodic cutting or trimming by us does not remove the tree owner’s
responsibilities and in the case of fast growing species may not be sufficient to ensure
that trees remain outside of the growth limit zone. You will be notified prior to any periodic
trimming being carried out and the work will be completed by arborists carrying Orion
identification.
If Orion becomes aware of a tree which is within the ‘Notice zone’ (see Tree “A” in the diagram
below) then we are required to issue the tree owner with a Hazard Warning notice. For trees
within the ‘Growth limit zone’ (see Tree “B” in the diagram below) we are required to issue the
tree owner with a Cut or Trim notice.
What is a hazard warning notice?
If a tree is within the “Notice zone” (see Tree “A” in the diagram), we are required to issue a
hazard warning notice to the tree owner.
Tree “A”
Notice
zone
Growth
limit
zone
Tree “B”
Power line Notice zone Growth limit zone
66kV (high voltage) 5.0 metres 4.0 metres
33kV (high voltage) 3.5 metres 2.5 metres
11kV (high voltage) 2.6 metres 1.6 metres
400V/230V (low voltage) 1.5 metres 0.5 metres
Note:
V = Volts; kV = kilo Volts ie 1,000 Volts
1) These distances are from the power line, not the power pole
2) These distances are a minimum and apply in all conditions including high wind or snow
3) In most instances the power lines that go to a house or building are low voltage power
lines. Power lines that go down a street may be low or high voltage.
Trimming trees near power lines
Trimming trees near power lines can be extremely hazardous and the dangers should not
be underestimated. Contact with a power line can cause:
• injury or death to yourself, family or passers by
• injury or death to livestock
• damage to property and other trees
• damage to electrical appliances
• damage to power supply facilities
• damage to third parties.
We recognise that the public is not always experienced in tree trimming, so we are happy
to advise you on this. We can arrange for trees near power lines to be trimmed at your
cost. If, however, you prefer to arrange your own tree trimming, we recommend you hire
professionals with the necessary expertise and safety procedures to competently carry out
this work.
If you or someone working for you intends to work within 4 metres of power lines, a close
approach consent is required from Orion before you start. As a tree owner you may be liable
for any damage caused by carrying out trimming or felling of trees.
A hazard warning notice alerts the tree owner that the tree has encroached the notice zone
and that if it encroaches the “Growth limit zone” (see Tree “B” in the diagram) a cut or trim
notice may be immediately given to the tree owner (see above).
The growth limit zone is the area around a power line which trees must not encroach even
in windy or snow conditions. The notice zone is a distance one metre beyond the growth
limit zone.
What is a cut or trim notice?
If we become aware that a tree has encroached on the “Growth limit zone”, we will give
notice in writing to the tree owner that the tree must be cut or timed to maintain the
distances prescribed in the regulations, and the timeframes for action.
If no action is taken Orion may then trim the tree and seek to recover costs.
Who pays for the cut or trim?
Orion is responsible for the first cut of trees near power lines, where the first cut is on a
property basis, not owner basis. We have already met this obligation by completing a first cut
of vegetation on all our lines.
The tree owner will need to organise and pay for any subsequent and future cuts or trims.
We are happy to provide tree owners with a list of approved arborists who can carry out this
work, and also advise the best solution given the circumstances.
What fines can be imposed?
A tree owner commits an offence where a cut or trim notice is given, and without reasonable
excuse, the tree owner fails to have the tree cut or trimmed and/or fails to advise us of the
time and location of the cut or trim.
A person who commits such an offence is liable on summary conviction to a fine not
exceeding $10,000. If the offence continues, that person is also liable for a further fine of
not more than $500 for every day or part day during which the offence continues.
Contact us if in any doubt about your tree
We aim to work with tree owners to ensure safety is maintained and power outages are
minimised. We will actively work with tree owners to see trees are trimmed or cut before
regulatory powers are applied. However, as we wish to ensure the safety and security of the
public, we will use the regulations where necessary.
Please contact us or an approved Orion tree trimming contractor to help with your trees,
or to discuss your options.
