City in dark over how 

much water is needed 

• By Gabrielle Stuart 

A THREE year investigation 

into Christchurch’s water supply 

has found local authorities do 

not know how much water 

will be needed as the city grows. 

It comes at a time when the 

city’s aquifers have hit record 

lows, and councils are looking at 

ways to cut the amount of water 

being used. 

A report on the situation by 

Golder Associates was commissioned 

by the city council, and 

cost $20,000. 

It said a model needed to 

be developed to calculate the 

“sustainable yield” of the city 

water supply, based on population 

growth, the rural 

water demand and industrial 

use. 

It also said more information 

was needed about how the water 

supply might be contaminated, 

and agencies responsible for 

managing it needed to work 

together better. 

The recommendations are 

set to be put to a city council 

committee tonight, which will 

then discuss what the next steps 

should be. 

Former Environment Canterbury 

chief executive and 

environmental planner Bryan 

Jenkins said the city council and 

regional council had been working 

together four years ago to 

estimate how much water could 

sustainably be taken from the 

aquifers. 

But he said that project had 

been put on hold as staff focused 

on other priorities. 

Per person, he said Cantabrians 

used a lot more water than 

in other cities, so he said something 

would need to be done 

to reduce the amount of water 

used. 

That could mean charging 

Cantabrians for the water they 

used, he said. 

The report is the latest in a 

series on the state of the aquifers, 

which the city council began in 

2013. 

It commissioned Golder Associates 

to look into how much 

was known about the aquifers, 

and what the gaps in knowledge 

were. 

As part of the work it has 

talked to experts from the different 

agencies responsible for 

the aquifers, and brought them 

together for a workshop.

WATER AND how it may need 

to be conserved should be on 

everyone’s radar. 

Climate change (just look at 

our winter) and the amount of 

water farming and agriculture 

need to keep the economy’s 

wheels turning may mean that 

we simply won’t have enough to 

go around in the future. 

Reporter Gabrielle Stuart 

previews a meeting at the city 

council tonight which will look at 

how councils in the Canterbury 

region can plan to determine 

how much water we in the city 

will actually need. 

If you’ve noticed more coffee

you’re not wrong. 

It’s a post-quake fad.

THIS WEEK IN CANTERBURY’S PAST 

This week in history saw a storm wreck six 

ships in Lyttelton Harbour on July 27, 1851. 

On July 28, 1964, the city council cut down 

trees on Rolleston Ave, at the request of 

Christ’s College. An intense public protest 

followed. July 30, 1921, saw Canterbury 

become the first New Zealand provincial 

rugby team to beat the Springboks. In other 

sport, on July 30, 1976, seven Canterbury 

men were part of the gold medal winning 

hockey team at the Montreal Olympics. And 

on July 31, 1856, Christchurch became the 

country’s first city by Royal Charter.

Cherry blossoms will honour 

quake deaths; celebrate rugby 

• By Annabelle Dick 

TWENTY EIGHT young 

Japanese language students 

lost their lives when the CTV 

building collapsed during the 

February 22, 2011, quake. 

Now eight cherry blossom 

trees will be planted in the 

Botanic Gardens to honour their 

memory. 

The trees, donated by the city 

of Ishinomaki, Japan, will be 

planted at the Botanic Garden’s 

World Peace Bell garden next 

month to honour victims of 

New Zealand and Japan’s earthquakes. 

Just weeks later, Japan was 

struck by a devastating 9.0 magnitude 

earthquake and tsunami 

which killed about 16,000 people. 

The city of Ishinomaki lost more 

than 3000 people. 

New Zealand World Peace Bell 

member David Bolam-Smith 

said the commemoration project 

came about when he met Japanese 

families and representatives 

at the five-year anniversary in 

February. 

Zen Buddhist priest Taigen 

Goto was there on behalf of 

one of the families when Mr 

Bolam-Smith invited him to 

ring the peace bell to pray for 

the Japanese students lost in the 

CTV building. 

Mr Bolam-Smith said he was 

telling Mr Goto about his plans 

to plant cherry trees from the 

bell to the river when he offered 

some help. 

“He pulled out his wallet and 

gave me $500 dollars on the spot 

and said, ‘please plant cherry 

trees here to remember the people 

who died in the Christchurch 

earthquake and the tsunami and 

quakes in Japan’,” Mr Bolam- 

Smith said. 

After planting trees in 

Christchurch, Mr Bolam-Smith 

will also travel to Mr Goto’s 

home city of Ishinomaki to 

return the favour by planting

cherry blossoms to remember 

the victims of both the Christchurch 

and Japan earthquakes. 

“We’re building a cherry blossom 

bridge between the two 

countries,” he said. 

Ishinomaki is home to a training 

facility being built for the 

Rugby World Cup in 2019, and 

Mr Goto wanted to build the 

connection between Christchurch 

and Japan even more for the 

world cup. 

Mr Bolam-Smith will travel to 

the city in September to plant the 

trees outside the stadium in the 

presence of Japan Rugby Football 

Union representatives and the 

city mayor. 

“The trees and a commemorative 

plaque will honour the 

victims of both quakes, our 

countries friendship and our 

love of rugby,” Mr Bolam-Smith 

said. 

He will travel to Japan on 

September 1. 

He’s also urging residents to attend 

the public tree-planting ceremony 

at the Botanic Garden’s 

World Peace Bell to remember 

those who lost their lives on 

August 11 at 2.30pm.

In Brief 

SEX ATTACK LEADS 

Police say they are following 

strong leads due to information 

from the public in relation to 

a sexual attack in Ilam in the 

early hours of Friday morning. 

A woman was walking by 

herself through the Ilam Fields 

towards Waimairi Rd, near 

Canterbury University, when 

she was grabbed by a man and 

pulled to the ground. Detective 

Sergeant Nicola Reeves said the 

offender threatened the woman 

and sexually assaulted her before 

running off. 

SCHOOL BELL STOLEN 

Sydenham School’s bell has 

been stolen nearly 20 years after 

the school closed its doors. The 

original bell from the school, 

on the corner of Brougham 

and Colombo Sts, was moved 

to Buchan Playground after it 

closed in 1999. But city council 

head of parks Andrew Rutledge 

said the bell was missing and was 

“believed to be stolen”. “Council 

staff are making contact with 

local police regarding this,” he 

said. 

ODOUR LEADS TO FINE 

The city council and Living Earth 

have both been fined $1000 for an 

“offensive odour” wafting outside 

the compost plant’s boundary on 

June 14. Environment Canterbury 

issued the infringements on June 

30, because it breached consent. 

Investigations and incidents 

regional leader Valyn Barrett said 

there have been 57 complaints 

about the compost plant’s odour 

in the past two months, with two 

being substantiated. 

TOP HOME AWARDS 

Canterbury’s top new builds will 

be announced at a gala dinner at 

the Air Force Museum in Wigram 

tomorrow night. Houses entered 

in this year’s House of the Year 

competition will compete across 

a range of categories and vie for 

two top awards – the Regional 

Registered Master Builders 

Supreme Award for House of 

the Year and Supreme Award for 

Renovation of the Year.

Water supply 

concerns 

•From page 1 

It now recommends another 

workshop should be held between 

city council, ECan and Selwyn 

District Council staff to look at 

who is responsible for what and 

how they communicate. 

The report said different agencies 

managing the water had not 

always communicated with one 

another. 

That meant some work done on 

the water was redundant, as other 

agencies had done very similar 

work but had not let others know. 

It said the biggest issue was between 

ECan and the city council, 

but it also affected Selwyn District 

Council, academics and Government 

scientists. 

It said working together would 

be crucial if they were to improve 

the protection and management 

of the water resources. 

“A fundamentally different way 

of organising and communicating 

the value of Christchurch’s 

groundwater resource and how 

best to protect and manage this 

asset is needed.” 

Pauline Cotter, who sits on the 

committee looking at the issue, 

said communication was an issue 

because of the number of different 

agencies involved.

New Springboks tour research 

• By Tom Doudney 

CAPTURING THE experiences 

and impacts of the 1981 

Springbok tour on ‘ordinary’ 

New Zealanders, rather than 

prominent protesters, is the 

focus of a new research. 

The three match tour saw 

mass protests against Apartheid 

in South Africa, inside and outside 

the stadium, with the game 

in Hamilton called off. 

Canterbury University 

masters student Melissa 

Morrison, who is writing her 

thesis on the subject, said most 

recent texts were written by or 

about prominent 

individuals 

such as leading 

protesters Trevor 

Richards and 

John Minto. 

“They really 

haven’t told the 

everyday New 

Zealanders’ story 

John Minto 

and so what I am trying to do is 

to uncover these everyday stories 

of people who may not have 

necessarily protested or gone to 

the games, they may have just 

carried on with their normal 

lives, but they still had an opinion,” 

Ms Morrison said. 

TURBULENT 

TIMES REVISITED: 

Melissa Morrison 

will be interviewing 

people about their 

experiences of the 

1981 Springboks tour. 

“Most of what has been 

written about the tour was 

written in the immediate 

aftermath so it kind of just 

explains what happened rather 

than the reasons why and I 

think that’s because it was too 

fresh in the New Zealand psyche 

to really digest why people acted 

as they did.” 

Her research would cover 

both people’s feelings at the time 

and how they felt about it in 

hindsight. 

“I am going to be asking people 

‘if the same sort of situation 

were to happen today would you 

act in the same way, would your 

opinion have changed and does 

that reflect on New Zealand 

society changing as well?’” 

Although Ms Morrison, 22, 

had not been born when the 

tour took place, she came from 

a “rugby mad” family and 

both of her parents attended 

the Christchurch test match as 

rugby supporters. 

“I do have to keep in check my 

own biases when I eventually 

come to write it so that it is 

balanced but yes, I have heard 

my parents’ stories about it and 

the protesters trying to break on 

to the field at Lancaster Park.” 

• Ms Morrison is looking for 

people to interview and anyone 

who would like to take part in 

her research can phone her on

Less spent on anchor projects 


THE GOVERNMENT spent 

$374 million less than promised 

on anchor projects in the last 

year, according to its latest 

estimate. 

More than $440 million was 

set aside to spend on major 

Christchurch projects in the year 

to June, but the estimated actual 

spend was just $65 million. 

It spent less than planned 

on every major anchor project, 

including developing the 

Christchurch Bus Interchange, 

the Metro Sports Facility, 

Cathedral Square and the 

Convention Centre. 

Almost $90 million of the 

money set aside to buy land 

for the major anchor projects 

has already been cut from that 

budget, and used to cover other 

Government expenses. 

But Department of Prime 

Minister and Cabinet Greater 

Christchurch Group director 

Kelvan Smith said spending 

fluctuated from year to year. 

“With the construction of 

some big ticket items still to 

come, such as the Metro Sports 

Facility and Convention Centre, 

naturally there is a substantial 

amount of spending still to 

come.” 

The money which was not 

spent would be carried over until 

the next financial year, and he 

said it would be available when it 

was needed. 

“The Government’s commitment 

to the recovery and regeneration 

of greater Christchurch 

remains – in fact the overall 

spending is forecast in the latest 

Budget to increase to more than 

$17 billion.” 

Accountant Cam Preston, 

who has been tracking Government 

spending on the rebuild, 

said delays were to be expected. 

“In the commercial world 

when you’ve got a problem the 

best thing to do is sit on it until 

it goes away.” 

But his concern was how 

much money might be eaten 

up in administration each year 

projects were delayed. 

“Promises cost nothing, 

they’re dirt cheap, and while 

everyone has been talking about 

the promises and throwing 

highly paid experts at the promises, 

nothing has come out of it,” 

he said. 

ECan 

cracks 

down on 

water use 

• By Tom Doudney 

FARMERS WHO don’t have 

a water meter installed by the 

coming irrigation season are 

likely to face prosecution as 

Environment Canterbury seeks to 

get tough on non-compliance. 

ECan chief executive Bill 

Bayfield said after five years of 

working with farmers to get water 

meters installed, the time for 

warning notices was over. 

Prosecution would be used to 

deal with major non-compliance 

after checking data on the previous 

season’s irrigation takes. 

Any farmers who still didn’t 

have a water meter in place by the 

start of the next irrigation season, 

starting from about mid-September, 

would also be likely to face 

prosecution. They could also have 

consent to irrigate withdrawn. 

There had not been enough 

previous water metering prosecutions 

to know what sort of penalties 

the courts might impose but 

the maximum possible fine was 

$600,000. 

Final countdown for SCIRT programme 

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

retaining walls is now 92% complete and will finish in December. 

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

underground pipe networks. 

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

between Christchurch and Dunedin. These pipes are now invisibly doing 

their important job below ground. 

SCIRT has also repaired more than 120 bridges; this is 98% of the 

overall SCIRT bridge repair programme. 

After SCIRT, The Christchurch City Council and NZ Transport Agency 

will continue their programmes of ongoing repairs. 

Your support is helping us to get the job done, thank you from the 

SCIRT team.

Qantas 

boosts 

city flights 

QANTAS IS beefing up its 

flights at Christchurch Airport, 

by adding a daily service to 

Melbourne and Brisbane. 

From October 30, Qantas 

will go from a three per week 

Brisbane service to daily. From 

December 4 it will also introduce 

a daily Christchurch-Melbourne 

service. 

The Brisbane flights will 

be timed to connect with the 

airline’s Asian and US network, 

while the Melbourne service 

would be timed to Dubai, London 

and European destinations. 

Qantas regional spokesman 

Wes Nobelius said the changes 

were about meeting demand in a 

flexible way. 

“We’ve put a big focus on 

making sure that we have the 

right aircraft on the right routes 

around the region, plus smart 

connections to the rest of our 

international network.” 

Christchurch Airport chief 

executive Malcolm Johns said 

Qantas is now offering the largest 

number of international seats it 

has ever offered into and out of 

Christchurch.

WINZ threats double after 

Ashburton shooting 


THREATS AND assaults on 

Work and Income staff in 

Canterbury doubled after the 

fatal shooting in Ashburton two 

years ago. 

There were 432 security 

incidents reported in Canterbury 

offices in the year from July 2014 

to June last year, up from 212 the 

year before. 

At the Linwood office alone 

there were almost 100 security 

incidents, including 13 rated 

serious and 11 where police had 

to be involved. 

Christchurch Work and 

Income offices have been closed 

or placed in lockdown at least 

four times since the Ashburton 

shooting, because of threats. 

Ministry of Social Development 

Canterbury regional commissioner 

John Henderson said 

extra security guards had been 

put in place at all sites since the 

shooting. 

“The ministry has always 

taken threatening behaviour 

seriously and since the tragedy 

in Ashburton on September 1, 

2014, we have implemented a 

THREATS: There have been more than 300 security incidents 

at the Linwood Work and Income centre over the past four 

years. 

Security incidents at 

Work and Income centres 

between July 2014 and 

June last year 

• Linwood: 97 

• New Brighton: 59 

• Sydenham: 44 

• Rangiora: 38 

zero tolerance policy towards 

such behaviour. Every threat is 

taken seriously.” 

• Papanui: 37 

• Riccarton: 34 

• Hornby: 30 

• Shirley: 24 

• Ashburton: 18 

• Kaiapoi: 9 

• Christchurch Metro: 3 

• Akaroa: 0 

• Outside offices: 33 

He believed staff were reporting 

more incidents because of 

the policy, which could have 

contributed to the rise. 

He said the ministry was 

developing new layouts for the 

offices which would “balance 

privacy, visibility, safety and 

service”. 

There were 97 security incidents 

in Linwood in the 2014-15 

year, and another 62 in the nine 

months to March this year. 

But Riccarton had the most 

police involvement, with police 

having to be brought in over 

one in five security incidents, 

compared with just one in 10 at 

Linwood. 

Police had to be involved to 

deal with 90 incidents at different 

offices over the year. 

Security incidents include 

anything from threats to physical 

attacks, and are rated minor, 

moderate, serious or critical. 

Incidents are ranked critical if 

someone is seriously injured and 

needs hospitalisation, if someone 

is killed or if there is a bomb 

threat or arson. 

Serious incidents range 

from physical harm that leaves 

someone needing medical 

treatment to things like stalking 

of staff.

Passers-by alert women 

their house was on fire 

• By Andrew King 

TWO WOMEN had a lucky 

escape from a huge blaze in 

Woolston that engulfed a 

two-bedroom flat and an old 

ice-cream factory yesterday 

morning. 

Passers-by saw smoke coming 

from the rear of the building 

about 6am and realised people 

were inside asleep, completely 

unaware of the fire. 

Fulton Hogan regional trainer 

Glenn Williams was one of the 

men who broke into the house 

to raise the alarm, saving not 

only two people, but their dog 

and cats as well. 

A spokeswoman for Fulton 

Hogan said it was very proud of 

the “extreme bravery” shown by 

its employee. 

The fire was so big it was easily 

viewed from the Port Hills, one 

person posted footage online 

showing giant flames leaping 

into the air. 

Firefighters fought the blaze 

both internally and externally as 

crews worked to save the front 

section of the building. 

Senior station officer Mark 

Elstone said the fire was going

“incredibly well” when they 

arrived. 

“We work very hard to save 

the front part of the building 

which was inhabited at the 

time,” he said. 

Next-door neighbour Betulina 

Power said it was a “very scary” 

thing to wake up to. 

“There was just a cloud of ash 

raining down all around the 

fire and there was a huge wall of 

flames,” she said. 

Another neighbour, John Te 

Wani, said the only thought 

when he saw the flames was to

“I just chucked my keys to my 

partner and said get the kids out 

of here,” he said. 

Fire investigator Mark 

Thomas said it would take a day 

or so to work out a cause. 

“It has been a really big fire, it 

will take a while to sift through 

everything,” he said. 

DECISION TIME: A hearing tomorrow will determine if the BP 

Edgeware site will expand or not. 

Decision looms over 

BP expansion plans 


RESIDENTS fighting a petrol 

station expansion in Edgeware 

could find out their fate 

tomorrow. 

BP Oil New Zealand owns BP 

Edgeware and has applied for a 

resource consent to add another 

four pumps and 12 more car 

parks, which it has bought two 

properties north of the site to accommodate 

the expansion. 

A city council resource consent 

hearing will be held tomorrow to 

hear both sides. 

But residents are fuming at the 

proposal saying they weren’t consulted 

and it will ruin the area. 

Resident Rob Hull said 

the biggest problem with the 

expansion is it is not the best use 

of residential land. 

“It is a big commercial 

company that will be operating 

365 days a year, 24 hours a day,” 

he said. 

BP Oil communications and 

external affairs manager Shelley 

Brady said the demand for service 

in the area has increased and 

improvements need to be made 

to keep up with that demand and 

make sure congestion does not 

become a common thing. 

She said they have followed the 

city council approval process and 

ultimately it’s their decision as to 

what will and won’t be approved. 

The hearing has been set for 

9am tomorrow.

The faces behind a post-quake 

Mobile coffee and food 

services have become a 

trend in Christchurch since 

the earthquakes. Bridget 

Rutherford spoke to some 

of the owners to see why 

they got started 

GARRY PIERCE has been a 

policeman, cafe owner, and an 

earthquake rescuer. But come 

May 2011, he became a mobile 

coffee van operator. 

He owned In Italia, a cafe in 

the Guthrey Centre, for nearly 

15 years but the building was 

severely damaged in the 6.3 

magnitude February 2011 earthquake. 

“My cafe went down in the 

earthquake. I lost in one hit my 

income and my business, so I 

had to reinvent myself and that’s 

what I did.” 

He decided to set up a mobile 

coffee van, to service businesses 

that were forced to move to 

other parts of the city without 

cafes. 

By May, Kiwicoffee, was fully 

operating. Mr Pierce was one 

of many to set up mobile coffee 

and food services following the

earthquakes. 

Before the quakes, the city 

council had eight permanent 

food vendors in Cathedral 

Square. The square’s Friday night 

market now has 30 vendors on 

the list, with up to 20 there on 

Fridays. 

Mr Pierce said mobile food 

and coffee wasn’t really a thing 

at that time, although he saw it 

phasing out in the future. 

“There’s cafes springing up 

everywhere now.” 

Mr Pierce, who was a police 

officer for 12 years, was working 

with his daughter Rebekah at In 

Italia on February 22 when the 

earthquake struck. 

They ran out of the building, 

nearly being crushed by falling 

masonry, before taking shelter in 

the doorway of the cafe. 

After they climbed out over 

the rubble, the pair, along with 

seven others, went on to help dig 

earthquake survivor Margaret 

Neale out from under the rubble 

in City Mall. 

Her daughter, Melissa, was 

killed. 

“We couldn’t get her,” Mr 

Pierce said. 

The group was later presented 

with Christchurch Earthquake 

Awards for their efforts. 

Mr Pierce knows all his customers’ 

names and coffee orders. 

“Some people probably don’t 

even want the coffee, they just 

want that contact at the start of 

the day.” 

He goes through up to 20kg a 

week of coffee – or the “greatest 

legal drug around” as he calls it. 

But Mr Pierce is onto his 

next project, with his new cafe 

Espresso Depot expected to 

open at the Riccarton Rd bus 

lounge next week. Kiwicoffee 

will continue to operate. 

He never expected to be here 

five years ago, but he enjoys it. 

“That’s what I do. I like the 

challenge of starting something 

new.”

ERIC DEVOS also lost his 

business. as well as the school he 

was studying at, to the quakes. 

That’s when he decided to start 

Le Van Coffee – a mobile coffee 

van. 

“The idea came up straight 

after that. I thought, I’ve got to 

do something, I’ve got kids and 

need to support them.” 

He bought a van with a 

built in coffee machine from 

Wellington, and it was so 

successful, he later bought 

another one, and hired another 

barista. 

“A coffee van was a great idea, 

it’s not many hours a day and I’d 

made coffee before.” 

Before the earthquakes, Mr 

Devos owned his own private 

dining room, La Boheme, on 

Colombo St, but the building 

was damaged in the September 

2010 earthquake. 

He was studying to become a 

wine tutor at the New Zealand 

School of Food and Wine on 

Victoria St, when the February 

2011 earthquake hit. 

The building was severely 

damaged and the school moved 

to Auckland. 

Now Mr Devos has his usual 

customers when he goes around 

Tower Junction and Show Pl. 

“I see the same people 

everyday. I know their name and 

I know what they drink.” 

He goes through 15kg of coffee 

a week. 

“It’s just a great job. It’s a 

positive environment, I bring 

coffee to people so they are 

always happy to see me.” 

But come November, Mr 

Devos will be running the cafe 

at the newly repaired Sign of the 

Kiwi building. 

He’s not sure whether he will 

continue running the coffee 

vans. 

“It’s great because it’s a new 

project. I’ve got the focus of a 

four-year-old boy you see. I’ve 

been doing coffee for five years.” 

CHARLOTTE BELL started 

her delivery salad and sandwich 

business, Bell & Co, in April 

because she thought there was a 

lack of healthy lunch options. 

The 24-year-old studied 

microbiology and environmental 

science at the University of 

Otago, which is where she 

learned about food production 

and the environment. 

“I’ve noticed people were often 

too busy to either make lunch 

or travel to buy a healthy lunch,” 

she said. 

“People often compromised 

quality for convenience. I just 

wanted to provide accessible, 

affordable food.” 

Her food catered for everyone, 

with each option being 

easily converted for vegans, 

vegetarians and people with 

allergies. 

Her weekly menu consists of a 

salad and sandwich option, and 

she caters breakfast and lunch 

events. 

“It’s about making healthy 

eating easy.”

Migrants 

targeted by 

scammers 


SCAMMERS ARE targeting 

migrants with fake calls claiming to 

be from Government agencies. 

Since June Immigration New 

Zealand has received 305 complaints 

nationwide including Christchurch 

from people contacted by a scammer. 

Police have also received a number 

of complaints. 

Immigration NZ area manager 

Darren Calder said the calls involve 

the fraudsters trying to deceive people 

into parting with a payment to 

avoid deportation or arrest. 

“We are still assessing the extent 

of the problem, but the scam appears 

to target a variety of nationalities, 

including Indian and Fijian nationals,” 

he said. 

A police spokewoman said the 

scam has been happening as recently 

as a month ago with callers said to be 

“very rude and aggressive”. 

“Members of the public should be 

aware that New Zealand Government 

agencies such as Immigration 

or Inland Revenue will never call, 

email or text demanding payment or

Pet cats poisoned 


JULIE ABBOTT has no idea 

why anyone would want to 

poison her pets. 

When her young children 

went to let the cats out of their 

enclosure in the garage and 

found them having violent 

seizures, she thought they must 

be sick. 

She rushed them to the vet, 

but too late. 

Two of her four cats died, 

one on the operating table. 

The third was left blind with 

possible brain damage, and the 

fourth very sick. 

A post-mortem later found 

they had been poisoned, and 

the symptoms looked like it was 

1080 poisoning. 

Ms Abbott is a small-time 

breeder of Ragdoll cats, and said 

her cats were part of the family. 

She had no idea why someone 

would want to poison them. 

“I’ve had no issues with my 

neighbours and I’ve never been 

broken into. If someone had an 

issue with me, why not put a 

letter in my mail box, don’t hurt 

my animals.” 

To get to the cats, she said 

someone would have had to 

come into her property and 

can be removed so that your blinds 

smell fresh and are restored to their 

original glory. The company can repair 

blinds also, having a huge range of parts 

in stock. And if you want something 

completely new, a great range of blinds is 

available for purchase. 

The company prides itself on efficient 

service, providing a fast turn-around, 

with most work taking one or two 

days, and a same day cleaning option is 

available. It makes it as easy as possible 

for clients. The Cashel Street location 

couldn’t be more convenient and a pickup 

and drop-off service is available. 150 

blinds per day can be cleaned at this site, 

through a side-door into her 

garage, where they were kept in 

their enclosure overnight. 

She said there was no sign of a 

break-in, but her children used 

the garage as a playroom and 

sometimes forgot to lock the 

door. 

She reported it to the police, 

but with no signs of a break-in 

and no-one she suspected, there 

was not much they could do, 

she said. 

She said her family of four 

guinea pigs had died suddenly 

recently, but she had believed 

something must have frightened 

them. 

She now wondered if they 

were poisoned, too. 

Pathology testing is still being 

done to try to find out what was 

used to poison the cats. 

Ms Abbott said the bill from 

the vet and the autopsy came 

close to $6000, which she was 

struggling to pay as a single 

mother and part-time worker. 

She had set up a Givealittle page 

to ask for help with the bill. 

At The Vets clinic 

veterinarian Heather Remnant 

said cases of intentional 

poisoning were rare, but she 

had come across several in 

or one of their mobile vans can do up to 

50 per day. That means they will come to 

your home or office, remove and clean 

your blinds on the spot and reinstall them 

for you. 

A cut-down and size alteration service 

is available in order that the blinds you 

bought are a perfect fit. 

They are experts in their field with a 

huge amount of experience to draw on. 

In fact, all their staff has been on board 

for at least 8 years, and many up to 20 

years. Whatever the job involves, they 

will work hard to make sure it gets done, 

including one job of 800 blinds which 

they completed in 4 days. 

RECOVERING: Julie Abbott with her cat Gracie, who has been 

left blind after being poisoned, possibly with 1080. 


Christchurch. 

She said one client had their 

dog poisoned. 

“Once they got a new dog 

they got a note in their letterbox 

saying ‘I see you have a new 

dog, this one better not bark 

like the last one’,” she said. 

She said the autopsies were 

very reliable at pointing to the 

cause of death, but it was much 

more difficult to pinpoint which 

poison was used as they had to 

be tested one by one.

Mayor’s Welfare Fund picks 

up tab for state tenants 

Hoax call frustrates 

emergency services 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

EMERGENCY services are 

frustrated they responded to 

a motor-vehicle crash, which 

turned out to be a hoax call. 

Fire crews, St John, police and 

the Westpac Rescue Helicopter 

were all dispatched to Charteris 

Bay on Tuesday at about 2pm to 

what they thought was a car that 

had hit a tree. 

But when they got there, they 

could not find any crash. 

Fire communications shift 

manager Lyn Crosson said it 

was “really annoying” and a “big 

waste of resources”. 

She said emergency services 

searched for about 15min and 

tried to phone the number that 

rang in, but could not get through. 

Westpac Rescue Helicopter 

spokesman Rick Knight said 

the crew searched the road from 

the air, before flying over Orton 

Bradley Park to see if anything 

was there. 

He said luckily, the helicopter 

was already in the air at the time, 

but if another genuine call came 

in at the same time it would have 

slowed their response. 

Mr Knight said police managed 

to track the number the call came 

from, and went to the house but 

no one was home. 

“At the end of the day nobody 

was hurt which was good.” 

Mr Knight said the crew was 

in the air because it flew to Mt 

Hutt Ski Area to pick up two men 

in their 60s – one with a broken 

lower leg, and the other with a 

fractured arm. 

They also flew to Porters Ski 

Area, where a child had suffered 

abdominal injuries after being hit 

with the T-bar. 

• By Shelley Robinson 

THE CITY council has met 

with Housing New Zealand 

over concerns it was regularly 

“picking up the tab” for 

overdue rent for state tenants 

who were under the threat of 

eviction. 

On most occasions, the city 

council paid the bill because 

children, some with disabilities, 

were involved. 

Payments for state housing 

rent arrears via the Mayor’s 

Welfare Fund, increased 700 

per cent over three years, from 

$2673 in 2013 to $21,867 in 

2015/2016 financial year. 

City councillor and housing 

task-force chairman Glenn 

Livingstone has hit out at 

Housing New Zealand and the 

Ministry of Social Development 

saying they lacked “compassion” 

and were “unreasonable” in 

their dealings with those facing 

eviction due to rent arrears. 

“The city council is picking up 

the tab for Housing NZ. People 

come and see us because they 

are under threat of eviction, and 

it happens fairly regularly – it 

has been a source of frustration 

Glenn 

Livingstone 

Vicki Buck 

for staff in those areas,” he said. 

“They [Housing NZ and 

MSD] need to step up and 

become a landlord . . . and 

treat its people like subjects not 

objects,” he said. 

But deputy mayor and welfare 

fund chairwoman, Vicki Buck 

said MSD and Housing NZ have 

now stepped up, after she met 

with them recently to resolve 

the issue. 

“This was about ensuring 

everyone in Christchurch has 

a home and we have invited 

them [Housing NZ] to go on the 

welfare fund committee,” she 

said. 

A Housing NZ spokesman 

said it was “proactive work” 

with MSD to identify clients’ 

rent arrears early, to get them 

assistance. 

“Housing NZ has been invited 

to join the welfare fund committee 

so we are around that 

table and can address issues and 

concerns directly and quickly,” 

he said. 

A MSD spokesman said in the 

2012/2013 financial year it paid 

$2.8 million in Canterbury for 

accommodation-related hardship 

grants. 

State rent arrears only 

represents a mere 10 per cent of 

the $290,000 paid by the welfare 

fund over three years for those 

struggling with housing costs. 

Of the $1 million paid out 

by the welfare fund since the 

2012/2013 financial year, 31 per 

cent was for electricity costs, 28 

per cent on rent arrears and 13 

per cent on bonds. 

About 3300 grants were made. 

The welfare fund paid out 

about $899,000 from 2010 to 

2012. 

The fund is boosted by about 

$342,305 from city councillors’ 

directors’ fees. City councillor 

David East has not paid his 

director’s fee to the fund, while 

Cr Ali Jones has paid half.

More people seeking 

new jobs in Canterbury 


IF YOU are looking for a new job 

you are not the only one – nearly 

half of Cantabrians are in the 

same boat. 

The latest Hudson Report 

released on Monday showed that 

46 per cent of Cantabrians were 

actively seeking new jobs. 

That was the highest out of the 

areas surveyed in the 

report. 

Thirty-two per 

cent were passively 

looking for new jobs, 

which meant if they 

were approached and 

offered a new job, they would 

consider it. 

Twenty-two per cent of Cantabrians 

were happy to stay in their 

current job. 

The report was based on the 

upper North Island, lower North 

Island and Canterbury. 

It found, overall, three out 

of four New Zealanders were 

actively looking for new jobs, 

which was up more than 20 per 

cent in six months. 

Hudson New Zealand regional 

general manager Roman Rogers 

(above) said Canterbury was 

JOB HUNT: Nearly 50 

per cent of Cantabrians 

are looking for new jobs, 

according to the latest 

Hudson Report. 

leading the charge for shifting of 

employers. 

“Cantabrians are more active 

than their countrymen when it 

comes to change,” he said. 

“Close to 50 per cent of 

Cantabrians are actively looking 

for new jobs.” 

He said it was now a lot easier 

for companies and recruitment 

agencies to tempt the passive 

market with social media such as 

LinkedIn. 

They were able to find people, 

and see what sort of experience 

they had online, he said. 

“People are so much easier to 

find.” 

Mr Rogers said boredom was 

a key driver for people to seek 

another role, as well as creative 

opportunities. 

Enterprise Recruitment and 

People chief operating officer Ian 

McPherson said it was difficult 

to distinguish between people 

actively looking and passively 

looking. 

People may sign up with 

LinkedIn or register for Seek, but 

that did not necessarily mean 

they were looking for jobs at the 

time, he said. 

In Canterbury, trades, construction 

and IT were areas where 

people were wanting jobs, he said. 

The report said in the upper 

North Island, 39 per cent of people 

were actively seeking new jobs, 

with 32 per cent thinking about it. 

The lower North Island also 

saw 29 per cent looking, while 

40 per cent could be tempted to 

change. 

CERA spent $18k on 

recruitment in final year 

• By Shelley Robinson 

IN ITS final year of operation 

the Canterbury Earthquake 

Recovery Authority spent 

$18,000 on recruiting staff 

members. 

This is part of a nearly 

$600,000 spend on recruitment 

since it was established in March 

29, 2011, released under the Official 

Information Act. 

CERA was disestablished in 

April. 

Department of the Prime 

Minister and Cabinet Greater 

Christchurch Group director 

Kelvan Smith said the spend in 

the final year was because when

office” it used current staff, 

leaving roles to be filled. 

“Key positions” within CERA 

were also required to be filled 

during the final year. 

“CERA staff needed to ensure 

that recovery progress continued 

throughout the transition period 

and that work was efficiently 

handed over to inheriting agencies,” 

he said. 

It comes after The Star 

revealed last month that

for its chief executive role, later 

filled by Albert Brantley, of 

Kaiapoi. 

Otakaro spent $348,000 on 

recruiting 48 staff, including Mr 

Brantley. 

CERA spent the most on 

recruitment in 2013/2014 with 

$193,000 when it was undergoing 

“significant structural 

changes”.

EQC UPDATE KEEPING YOU INFORMED | JULY 2016 

February 2016 

earthquake 

response 

With each natural disaster, EQC has increasingly listened 

to customer feedback to improve how it works, says 

EQC February 2016 Event Manager, Jayne Lapin. 

“For the February 2016 earthquakes we are emailing a 

survey to customers to complete two weeks after their claim 

resolution to gauge potential areas for improvement. 

To date, most customers have said their experience of the 

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

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

claims lodged by customers following the Canterbury 

earthquakes of 14 and 29 February, 2016, and the 

aftershocks through March and June. To date EQC has paid 

over $7.8 million to customers for damage claims. 

EQC is reverting back to cash settlements as there is no 

managed repair programme. EQC aims to complete 

assessments for these events sooner, where possible, 

using a claims management approach that EQC customers 

helped design. EQC aims to resolve all claims for these 

2016 Christchurch events by the end of December. 

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

the relevant information up front, before conducting 

assessment. For many claims, damage assessment is done 

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

to do business with,” Miss Lapin says. 

This differed from the 2010/2011 Canterbury claims, largely 

because earthquake damage incurred in 2016 quakes was 

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

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

claims to date have gone over the EQC cap. 

Seismic monitoring on Mt Ruapehu 

Marking 

GeoNet’s 15th 

birthday 

A message from Dr Hugh Cowan, 

General Manager Reinsurance, 

Research and Education 

This month, GeoNet is celebrating its 

15th anniversary. Most Cantabrians will be 

familiar with the GeoNet app which provides 

instant information about quakes and 

volcanic activity. 

GeoNet uses a network of over 600 sensors 

across New Zealand to detect, analyse and 

respond to earthquakes, volcanic activity 

and other geological hazards. It was 

established in 2001 as a collaboration 

between EQC as investor and GNS as 

technical manager. 

Over the years, GeoNet has been recognised 

internationally as at the leading edge of 

natural hazards monitoring, which is a 

significant bonus for New Zealand given the 

dynamic nature of our region. 

Canterbury’s proximity to the Alpine Fault 

means that it has a large number of sensors. 

The start of the Canterbury earthquake 

sequence triggered further expansion of this 

network, ultimately making the February 

2011 earthquake one of the most 

comprehensively recorded earthquakes in 

urban history. 

The quantity of GeoNet data has delivered 

significant benefits for Canterbury, not least 

in enabling decisions relating to building 

reconstruction, engineering, the behaviour 

of the land, and reinsurance to be informed 

by science. 

Such a wide range of applications in 

Canterbury exemplifies the benefits of EQC’s 

investment which requires GeoNet to make its 

data publicly and freely available. GeoNet’s 

growing and diverse community of users 

extends well beyond EQC and GNS. Land 

surveyors, airline pilots, power and water 

companies and local government all use 

GeoNet data in different ways. 

EQC is proud to have maintained such a 

long-term and successful partnership with 

GNS, providing GeoNet with around $12m 

a year. Late last year, we committed funding 

through to 2021 as part of our research and 

education programme. 

EQC awarded 

costs from 

Action Group 

The Earthquake Commission welcomes 

the High Court’s recent costs decision 

which orders the EQC Action Group to pay 

costs of $4,237 to EQC. 

The costs decision was issued following the 

discontinuation of the Action Group’s 

declaratory judgment application. The Action 

Group sought a series of declarations in 

relation to the obligations of the Commission 

under the EQC Act. 

Chief Executive Ian Simpson says the costs 

decision reaffirms EQC’s position that 

litigation was an unnecessary way to address 

the specific issues concerning the Action 

Group members’ claims. 

Mr Simpson says that EQC remains completely 

focussed on settling outstanding claims in 

Canterbury including those of EQC Action 

Group members. “Any customer can request a 

review of their individual claim if they believe 

EQC has missed earthquake damage 

sustained to their home, if they don’t agree 

with the proposed repair strategy, or if they 

believe the settlement amount is incorrect. 

The process for this is detailed on our website 

and EQC continues to work with our 

customers so they receive what they are 

entitled to and have their claims resolved.” 

Customers wanting to have their claim 

reviewed can call 0800 326 243 (0800 

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

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

In such situations you should 

provide us with details supporting your 

request for a claim review, together with any 

information you have obtained in support of 

your request. 

Support agencies

agencies to progress the settlement of customer claims, 

and answer customer queries.

EQC invites you to attend one of our community 

meetings for homeowners who have received an 

Increased Liquefaction Vulnerability (ILV) land 

damage settlement based on Diminution of Value. 

The 90-minute meetings will feature: 

• a presentation by EQC’s Head of Canterbury 

Land, Keith Land, on overall approach for 

settling ILV land damage; and

Cantabrians Ball raises 

money for sick kids 


WHEN 12-year-old Grace 

spent two weeks in the United 

States, the thing that left her 

dumbstruck wasn’t Disneyland, 

the zoo or even the “tower of 

terror” roller coaster. 

It was stepping into the lobby 

of her hotel with its shiny black 

couches and big vases of flowers, 

and then into her own room upstairs 

that took her breath away. 

“Bright white walls and double 

beds, a desk and a private 

bathroom, which is pretty cool 

considering there are six kids in 

our family and one bathroom,” 

she said. 

She was one of 24 children with 

serious medical conditions who 

were sponsored by Koru Care to 

go on a two-week trip of a lifetime 

to the US three years ago. 

The charity aims to give 

children fun experiences which 

empower them, develop their 

social and life skills and allow 

them to “enjoy themselves as 

children should”. 

It is currently raising money 

to send another 24 children on a 

similar trip later this year. 

Grace said learning she had 

been chosen for the trip had 

been totally overwhelming, and 

she was so excited leading up to 

it she struggled to concentrate 

on school. 

“Instead of doing maths I doodled 

pictures of roller coasters,” 

she said. 

About $4000 is needed to send 

each child on the trip, which is 

raised through a series of fundraisers 

throughout the year. 

Koru Care Christchurch has 

reinvented its annual charity 

auction this year as “The Cantabrians 

Ball”, a black tie dinner,

Smoking ban to be 

back at Hillmorton 


AN OVERTURNED ban on 

smoking at Hillmorton Hospital 

which was linked to a former 

patient’s suicide is set to be 

reintroduced. 

Smoking is currently allowed 

in the inpatient unit courtyards, 

but it is set to be banned everywhere 

on the grounds from 

January. 

Smoking was first banned at 

the hospital in 2010, but it was 

overturned after protests from 

patients. 

A former patient’s suicide was 

linked to the ban, as his mother 

said he stopped self-referring 

himself for treatment there 

because he wasn’t allowed to 

smoke. 

Canterbury University sociology 

professor Anne Scott said 

patients in mental health treatment 

were already under stress, 

and a ban would make it worse. 

She agreed helping patients to 

quit would be a good thing, but 

said a ban was the wrong way to 

do it. 

“If people are in hospital 

they’re not able to leave if they’re 

under the mental health act, so to 

try to make them quit that way is 

not the right way to go about it.” 

Canterbury District Health 

Board specialist mental health 

director of nursing Stu Bigwood 

said smoking was already 

banned at all other health board 

sites. 

He said the patients would 

be supported with free nicotine 

replacement therapy. 

“Mental health consumers already 

have poorer physical health 

outcomes compared to general 

population and as a health provider 

we are responsible for the 

promotion of a healthy environment 

for consumers, staff, and 

visitors.” 

An appeal against a smoking 

ban at the Waitemata District 

Health Board psychiatric units 

was taken to the High Court and 

the Court of Appeal, but it was 

dismissed in May.

EDITORIAL 

Getting it 

wrong over 

baby safety 

THE DECISION by the 

Ministry of Health not to fund 

pepi-pods doesn’t seem right. 

Arguing that the worth of the 

pods in saving babies has not 

been proven, it shelved plans to 

supply the pods – or wahakura 

– to the most at-risk babies in 

New Zealand. 

And Health Minister Jonathan 

Coleman has agreed with 

the decision, saying the evidence 

that the pods helped save 

infants doesn’t stack up. 

That seems contrary to the 

view of Auckland University 

professor of child health research 

Ed Mitchell. 

An Auckland University 

study has assessed the Safe 

Sleep programme which had 

been running in parts of the 

country since 2009. It includes 

the use of pepi-pods. 

“We are quite convinced that 

they are actually saving lives,” 

Professor Mitchell said. 

“The mortality rate has come 

down and it can be attributed to 

the Safe Sleep programme and 

the wahakura or pepi-pod.” 

HURRY 

LIMITED STOCK! 

The pepi-pods are a reasonably 

cheap, simple and 

culturally aware answer to 

some of the 

issues around keeping babies 

safe and close to their parents. 

And evidence seems to 

suggest the New Zealand developed 

pepi-pod is a lifesaver 

beyond this country. 

An Australian who has 

worked in the area of sudden 

infant death for 25 years, 

professor Jeanine Young, of 

the Sunshine Coast University, 

now helps give pepi-pods to 

at-risk Aboriginal families in 

Queensland. 

Though it will be several 

years before the expected drop 

in infant mortality in Australia, 

she said the four years of data 

showing a reduced infant mortality 

was enough for her. 

Funding for continued use of 

the pod in New Zealand should 

be a no-brainer. 

It’s difficult to disagree with 

the experts . . . unless, of course, 

you are the Ministry of Health.

Readers respond to the 

$12 million that has been 

put into cleaning up Te 

Waihora/Lake Ellesmere. 

K Partridge, of Leeston – Yes, 

clean up Lake Ellesmere. 

This lake can be so beautiful 

to look at some days but the fact 

it is so unhealthy is common 

knowledge. 

With a clean-up the lake could 

look and be so healthy and a great 

place to enjoy. I sometimes go 

there, not to get in the water, but 

just to enjoy the sight and scenery 

and I think it is such a shame 

Restoration of Victoria 

AFTER SOME initial 

consternation over early plans 

for the re-development of 

Victoria Square two years ago, 

I’m very pleased everyone’s 

views have been considered 

and Christchurch residents can 

now see how the square will be 

restored. 

Last week Otakaro Ltd 

released the developed design, 

which draws heavily on what 

the community said it wanted – 

largely the old square brought up 

to modern standards. 

The restoration plan retains 

Victoria Square’s much-loved 

park-like character and heritage 

more people don’t use it. 

I think $12 million is the right 

start but how long will it take to 

make it like it was? 

They say decades and that’s a 

really long time. The place needs 

to be fixed now. 

Phillip Marcs, of Prebbleton – 

The money for cleaning the lake 

is not nearly enough. I haven’t 

lived in Selwyn for very long, 

only several years, and I am told 

that it was once a beautiful place 

that was clean and full of life. 

The lake is one of the biggest 

in New Zealand, $12 million is 

monuments, the Queen Victoria 

and Captain Cook statues and 

the floral clock. The illuminated 

Bowker Fountain will also be 

restored. 

The site’s significance to Ngāi 

Tahu will be recognised through 

a new artwork which will pay 

tribute to Ngāi Tahu Treaty of 

CLEARANCE LINES! 

clearly not going to be enough 

to get it back to what it once 

was. I would love to take my 

family there and be able to use 

it for recreational use. It needs a 

serious look at and for someone 

to actually make the health of the 

lake a priority. 

It’s a real shame to see something 

that like this go to waste. How 

much beneficial work can be 

done over decades? Will it even be 

noticeable? It needs a serious cash 

injection and proper work needs to 

be done quicker than ‘decades’. 

I don’t want to see it deteriorate 

further and become worse.

used will compliment Victoria 

Square’s place within the wider

Precinct. 

This project has been driven 

and informed by public 

participation and feedback in

More opportunities 

for young Kiwis 

NEW ZEALAND is a fantastic 

place to grow up. Between 

our peaceful society, our great 

education system, our beautiful 

natural environment and our 

unique culture, young people in 

New Zealand are pretty lucky. 

There’s one area though where 

our young people are struggling 

and that’s getting in to work or 

education. Right now, we have 

about 87,200 young people in 

New Zealand who aren’t in work, 

education or training. 

That many young people sitting 

aimlessly with no plans and 

no hope for the future is a ticking 

time bomb. It’s an enormous 

waste of potential. It robs those 

young people of opportunity 

and dents their chances for the 

future. We’ve got to do better. 

A big part of this problem is 

the pipeline out of high school 

into work or further education 

isn’t working as well as it should. 

In New Zealand, we have one of 

the lowest rates of student retention 

in the developed world. If 

we want to give our kids the best 

shot at a great life, we’ve got to 

turn that around. 

That’s why I was so happy 

when Labour leader Andrew 

Little this week announced a 

plan to get every young person in 

New Zealand either earning or 

learning. 

It starts by fixing our problems 

with retaining students into the 

workforce or future education. 

Mr Little announced $30 million 

to transform the way career 

guidance works in our high 

schools. 

Under Labour, every school 

will have a professional, dedicated 

careers adviser who can work 

one on one with every young 

person to develop a personalised 

plan for the first steps of their 

careers. This wouldn’t just be one 

conversation when they leave 

school, they’d work with them 

right from year 9 and help guide 

them into fields and experiences 

they are interested in. 

This would mean working 

closer with awesome programmes 

like Gateway – which 

lets high school students spend 

two days a week getting real 

world experience. It’s about 

recognising that different people 

learn in different ways. 

We’ve also announced our 

Dole for Apprenticeships scheme, 

which would see employers paid 

the equivalent of the dole to take 

on an apprentice who might be 

light on experience but heavy on 

potential. It’s a much better use 

of that money than paying our 

young people to waste their talents 

by not working or studying. 

Taken together, this plan is 

going to give young Kiwis more 

opportunity than ever to make 

the most of their potential.

The Crusaders’ 42-25 loss to the Lions in Sunday’s Super Rugby 

semi-final brought down the curtain on Todd Blackadder’s time 

as coach. With the team having failed to capture a title in his 

eight seasons in charge, The Star asked people whether they 

thought he had done a good job. 

Steve Gibling, of 

Tai Tapu, Metro 

Sports Facility 

manager: “I think 

he has done a good 

job. It’s a really tight 

competition here in 

New Zealand and 

he is an All Blacks 

and Canterbury 

legend so I am a bit 

of a fan. He has had 

some interesting 

player issues to deal 

with and I guess it 

puts it in context 

of how awesome 

the Crusaders were 

back in 2007 when 

they last won the 

title.” 

John Semau, 

student: “I think 

he has done a great 

job but it has just 

come to the time 

when they need 

something different. 

Canterbury need 

a new coach and 

basically I think 

there just needs to 

be a bit of a change 

because eight 

seasons is a long 

time. They haven’t 

won a title in the 

last few seasons so 

it’s probably best 

they find someone 

new to take over.” 

Rose Riley, of 

Papanui, retired: 

“Pretty much, yes 

[he has done a 

good job]. I think 

sometimes the 

coaches are not 

given a fair go. As 

far as the Crusaders 

go – was he given 

long enough? Yes, 

but I just think they 

are not playing as 

well as they could at 

the moment.” 

Terence Logan, of 

Woolston, retired: 

“He’s a good coach. 

You can’t always 

blame the coach 

when the players 

are the ones on the 

field. Players can 

play their game 

but the coach can 

only coach. I think 

they’ve been a good 

team and Todd 

Blackadder has 

done a good job.” 

Marcus Sinclair, of 

St Albans, painter: 

“I don’t think [that 

he has been a good 

coach] and I think 

he cannot change 

tactics when he has 

the half time lead 

– that’s one of his 

problems.” 

Bruce Skinner, of 

Upper Riccarton, 

quality assurance 

officer: “I think 

he has done 

remarkably well. He 

is a popular coach 

and the team seem 

to respect him.” 

Neil Lewer, of 

Addington, retired: 

“He’s done very 

good. I wouldn’t 

think [that the lack 

of titles is an issue].” 

Jean Lorenz, of

“I don’t know why 

he is retiring. I 

think he has been 

a really good coach 

right through.”

Phil Rasmussen, 

founder of herbal 

extracts company 

KiwiHerb and 

a registered 

herbal medicine 

practitioner, 

responds to an 

article in The Star 

last month 

INFORMED debate about the 

Natural Health Products Bill 

(until recently called the Natural 

Health and Supplementary 

Products Bill) is needed because 

ongoing scaremongering and 

misinformation about it could 

ultimately put consumers at 

risk. 

I am frustrated at a small 

group of very vocal detractors 

who will stop at nothing to 

derail the Bill. 

Emotions are running high in 

some quarters but let’s sort fact 

from fiction when considering 

what the Bill means for consumers 

and the natural health 

products industry. 

It will regulate natural health 

products sold and marketed 

directly to consumers but will 

not apply to products that are 

prescribed or directly made 

available through trained health 

practitioners or traditional 

medicine practitioners. 

People could be forgiven for 

worrying about the doom and 

gloom claims being 

bandied around, 

including assertions 

that most natural 

health products will 

disappear from shelves, 

costs will skyrocket 

and businesses will go 

under. 

Such claims are 

simply not true. Nor is it true 

the Bill will severely restrict 

the ingredients as well as doses 

allowed in natural health 

products.

we believe it will be good for 

business, good for consumers, 

good for the natural health

the economy.

Continuing proud history 

Shirley Boys’ 

High School 

principal John 

Laurenson 

talks about the 

co-location 

of Shirley and 

Avonside Girls’ 

High School to the vacant 

QE II Park. 

TO SAY now is an exciting time 

for Shirley Boys’ and Avonside 

Girls’ High Schools is an 

understatement. 

We now have confirmation 

that our new schools will be built 

at QE II. As many people in Canterbury 

know, to have certainty 

over your future after many 

years of waiting is a wonderful 

feeling. 

But what is even better is 

knowing that we have an opportunity 

to create something 

incredibly special and unique for 

the city’s eastern residents. 

This will be the first time 

in New Zealand’s history that 

two single sex schools will be 

co-located. It’s a completely 

new approach that is prompting 

many questions from our communities. 

Are the schools merging? Is 

this a co-educational school? Are 

they going to be called Shirley 

and Avonside when they won’t 

be in Shirley or Avonside? What 

will the zone be? 

The new campus will cost at 

least $80 million and open in 

time for the 2019 school year. 

There is still a lot of work to take 

place but already there are many 

questions we can answer. 

No – the schools are not merging, 

there will be one campus but 

two separate schools. 

This is not a co-educational 

school. The schools will continue 

delivering quality single sex 

education. That is really important 

to us – single sex education 

benefits both boys and girls. 

What will be different is that 

while our students will spend 

most of their day in a single sex 

environment, they will also have 

opportunities to learn alongside 

and interact with students from 

our partner school. That brings 

both social and educational 

advantages. It is the best of both 

worlds. 

As for the names – yes, we 

will still be Avonside Girls’ and 

Shirley Boys’. Why? Because 

we are two of Christchurch’s 

oldest schools, our histories are 

proud and we want to continue 

our legacies. We may tweak the 

names slightly to reflect our new 

location – you’re welcome to give 

us your thoughts on that. 

In fact, you’re welcome to give 

us your thoughts on anything 

and to ask questions about the 

new campus. We are holding 

four community meetings so you 

can do just that – come along for 

a cuppa, it will be nice to meet 

you.

High School – Hall, 77 North 

Parade.

High School - gymnasium,

More Singapore flights; 

new Korean service 

SINGAPORE Airlines 

will increase services to 

Christchurch for the peak 

summer season with an 

additional five flights 

between November 13 and 

February 5, bringing the total 

supplementary flights to 35 and 

the total number of flights this 

year to 401. 

“We’re extremely pleased 

to be offering supplementary 

flights during the period of peak 

demand for travel to and from 

the beautiful South Island,” 

said Singapore Airlines’ general 

manager New Zealand, Simon 

Turcotte. 

“That we can do so reflects 

our strong relationships with, 

and support from, local partners. 

Christchurch and the 

South Island continue to be an 

important market for us, and 

we’re committed to partnering 

with South Island travel agents, 

Christchurch International 

Airport and the wider New Zealand 

market to increase visitor 

numbers to Christchurch as the 

gateway to the South Island. 

“This year we will now fly an 

HIGH FLYING: Singapore Airlines is increasing flights into 

Christchurch. 

extra 9485 seats into Christchurch. 

We were the first airline to 

fly long haul international flights 

to Christchurch, it’s a great way 

to celebrate Singapore Airlines’ 

30-year anniversary of services 

from this city. We look forward 

to continuing our long standing 

alliance, which has been 

uninterrupted for three decades, 

with the city of Christchurch.” 

Meanwhile, demand from 

Korean travellers wanting to 

tour the South Island has led 

to a new charter service for the 

coming summer. 

From December 2 to January 

28, Asiana Airlines will fly a 

weekly service between Incheon, 

Seoul and Christchurch Airport, 

to bring 2500 visitors to the 

South Island. 

The airport’s chief commercial 

officer – aeronautical, Justin 

Watson, said the nine week 

service is a direct response to 

requests from South Korean 

travel agents.

BUSINESSES displaced after 

the earthquakes now have 

another five years before they 

need to move back into business 

districts. 

Special legislation 

was developed 

by Parliament in 

2011 to enable displaced 

businesses 

to temporarily 

relocate following 

the February 2011 earthquake. 

This meant they could operate 

in places that otherwise would 

not have complied with the city 

and district plans, which could 

include residential areas. 

City council head of resource 

consents John Higgins said that 

legislation was due to expire 

in April, but is has now been 

extended to 2021 as part of the 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration 

Bill. 

He said businesses could 

remain until that date unless an 

earlier date was specified in the 

approval. 

But city councillor Jamie 

Gough said the move was one 

of the “single worst decisions” 

that could be made to impair the 

city’s rebuild. 

He said it was a “tenant’s 

dream”, with an over-supply of 

central city office space. 

“It’s a chicken and egg scenario 

to a certain extent because how 

do we expect the rebuild to 

progress at pace and for the city 

to become vibrant when the imperative 

to actually move back in 

keeps being pushed back?” 

Cr Gough said suburban areas 

were ill-equipped to cope with 

the congestion and demands 

businesses placed on local 

infrastructure, compared to the 

central city. 

He appreciated the need for 

businesses to temporarily relocate 

following the earthquakes, 

but said it was a different time 

now.

SLOAN 

GOING FOR IT: Tiffany Chittenden hopes to represent New Zealand 

again at the Karting World Championships in October. 

Tiffany Chittenden is one of the world’s best female kart drivers, and is training to 

represent New Zealand in October’s world championships. Bridget Rutherford spoke to 

her about racing the men on the track, giving British rapper Tinie Tempah driving tips, 

and growing up with the sport 

Can you tell me when and how 

you got into karting? 

So, basically I was 12 and my 

dad used to race cars and so did 

my mum. Mum’s family was 

involved in formula 1, so it’s in 

the blood. My brother and sister 

drove karts as well. My brother 

did it for two years and I wasn’t 

really interested, but there was 

a family day, it was a family 

race and I just had a go in my 

brother’s kart and happened to 

win and I thought: ‘This isn’t so 

bad after all’. 

Can you fill me in on your 

parents’ racing careers? 

Dad used to race before I was 

born and when I was growing 

up. We lived in England but I 

went with him racing in Europe 

so I grew up on the tracks. And 

mum in the 1960s was part of 

the Vanwall Team. They were 

quite successful. Stirling Moss 

was in the team and was the 

world champion. So they’ve got 

a big history in racing. 

What have been some of 

your career highlights? 

I won some junior championships, 

but I won the British 

championship in 2007. Then 

from winning that I got to go to 

the world finals, so every year 

there is a big race where everyone 

that’s won their national 

series, races against each other. 

It’s kind of like the Olympics of 

kart racing. I got to represent 

Britain for that, then in 2014, I 

got to represent New Zealand. 

I was sixth at the world finals, 

and that’s against the guys. My 

goal is to qualify again this year 

at the world finals in October in 

Italy. In November, I’m hoping 

to compete in a kart race in Las 

Vegas. 

What does racing training 

involve? 

So there’s a track at Carrs Rd, 

that’s our local and we test there 

as much as we can. I take part in 

the New Zealand champs and 

that’s eight rounds throughout 

the year all in the North Island. 

You have to keep really fit which 

a lot of people don’t realise. 

A lot of people get out of the 

car and they can hardly move 

their arms. It’s also quite tough 

on your core and ribs as well. 

We don’t just sit on our bums 

(laughs). 

What brought you to 

Christchurch and when? 

I moved here in 2014. My 

partner’s a Kiwi racer, Matthew 

Hamilton; we met at the world 

finals. I came here for a holiday 

and liked it. 

Do you think you’d both get 

pretty competitive if you raced 

against one another? 

It would be a bit of fun. 

We’d both want to win so we 

definitely wouldn’t take it easy. 

And you’re on the 

Christchurch Kart Club 

Committee now aren’t you? 

Yes, I’m kind of new to the 

committee. The track is hoping 

to relocate so that’s been a bit 

of a driving force. We’re there 

every weekend anyway, it’s our 

lives.

Tiffany Chittenden 

for speed in karts and race cars 

Do you race cars as well? 

Yes, I’ve raced cars as well 

as karts. Basically the natural 

progression is car racing, but 

it costs a lot. In the United 

Kingdom I managed to race with 

Aston Martin. Over here I started 

off in karting then got a sponsor 

for the Toyota 86 series and that 

was Lighting Plus. I enjoy both. 

I’m on a big push at the moment 

to try and find sponsorship to go 

to the world finals and also race 

in Las Vegas. It’s a full-time job. 

Can you tell me a bit about 

your driving coaching? 

So I help Matt, and we just 

coach kids from age six to adults. 

They all make the same mistakes 

whether they are six or 60. 

What sort of mistakes do 

most make? 

Just driving lines, or while 

they are racing, the biggest thing 

is that they look behind them 

instead of forward. In the UK 

my main job was working for 

AMG as a driving specialist. 

Now I work for Downforce New 

Zealand for a lot of different 

manufacturers. It’s just for 

everyone, from someone who 

has bought an Audi and wants 

to know how to use it, to people 

who want to drive fast. 

Have you taught any notable 

people? 

In the UK I taught quite a few 

singers, like Tinie Tempah, and 

Professor Green. 

How was Tinie’s driving? 

I thought he might be a bit 

scary because he is a rapper, but 

he was really chilled. A lot of 

famous people don’t get to drive 

much because they get driven 

everywhere. But I had to keep 

pushing him along to go faster! 

Normally the women do well 

because they listen, some guys 

don’t like being told what to do 

by me because I’m a girl. 

Speaking of that, have you got 

that a lot while you’ve been on 

the racing scene? 

Definitely, we are the minority. 

I think when I was at the world 

finals I was really the only female, 

or the only female to make the 

finals. Guys don’t like it. I think 

you earn respect. I don’t like 

playing on the whole female 

thing, if there was an only female 

championships I wouldn’t do it, 

I’m just not interested. The kart 

doesn’t know who’s driving it. 

Do men find it surprising? 

When I raced in America a lot 

of people were surprised. People 

don’t expect you to be fast. They 

are all very nice, until you’re fast. 

Then they’ll stop talking to you. 

Would you ever like to race in 

formula 1? 

ACHIEVEMENT: Chittenden was the first female to win the 

British National Karting Championships and has raced in New 

Zealand’s Toyota 86 series. 

I’m too old now for formula 

1. If you’re not 20 anymore it’s 

very hard. I don’t have the money 

backing behind me. I’d still love 

to do 24 hours of Le Mans. I 

think that’s more achievable. My 

goal is to win the world champs 

in the karting then hopefully 

win the Toyota 86 Championship 

next year. 

What’s your everyday car? 

A Mini actually, which is sort of 

like a kart. I get to let steam out 

on the race track, this is just a fun 

car to drive. 

Easy to park as well! 

Well, I’m not great at 

parking, we don’t have to park 

(laughs). 

Are you seeing more young 

female drivers start the sport? 

Definitely, I have a couple of girl 

drivers I’m helping out at the 

moment. New Zealand has a lot 

more females than the UK, I’m 

not sure why. 

What’s your favourite race 

track? 

I really like Ruapuna. And 

there’s a kart track in Belgium 

called Genk. I had one of my best 

races there. 

What’s the fastest you’ve ever 

driven? 

Probably about 290km/h, but 

that was in a straight line. In a 

kart you would easily get up to 

120km/h, but it’s close to the 

ground so it feels a lot faster than 

that. 

A child who’s ‘a little different’ 

We all know children who are just ‘a little 

different’ – perhaps they’re clumsy, have 

difficulty writing and tying shoelaces. Some 

are prone to ‘meltdowns’, and struggle to 

fit in. This could be a sensory processing 

problem. 

We need to process environmental 

information through our senses to interpret 

the world around us and to function well in 

everyday life. 

For some children, their nervous system may 

be receiving, sorting and using information 

inaccurately from the environment, causing 

them to either under or over react to a 

sensation, or to actively seek or avoid a 

sensation. 

This can lead to a lot of distress for the child, 

family and teachers, as coping with everyday 

experiences like a noisy classroom, the feel 

of a fabric, or moving in a coordinated way 

may present huge challenges. It can influence 

behaviour and interferes with learning, doing 

everyday activities or simply fitting in. 

Often these behaviours are mistaken for the 

child being “naughty” or poor parenting. To 

confuse matters more, no child is the same. 

Each has their individual set of difficulties. 

Therapy Professionals experienced 

Occupational Therapists may be able to help 

improve the lives of these children and those 

around them. Just contact us at 377 5280 or 

visit www.therapyprofessionals.co.nz. 

Is a child you 

know struggling 

to relate or 

learn? 

Don’t struggle alone. 

Our therapists can help.

Gardening 

Time to dethatch your lawn 

EARLY AUGUST is the time 

to attack the thatch on your 

lawns. 

Thatch is caused by several 

factors, including grass 

type, excessive watering, soil 

compaction, high or low soil 

pH,or overuse of fertiliser and 

pesticides. 

Remove a core of soil from 

the lawn with a trowel or 

shovel and measure the depth 

of the thatch, which is the 

layer of dead grass above the 

soil line. 

A layer that’s 1cm to 2.5cm 

thick can be removed with a 

stiff lawn rake. Deeper layers 

may require a power rake. 

The best time to de-thatch is 

just before the grass begins a 

period of active growth, which 

is usually early spring. 

For lawns with more than 

an 3cm of thatch, power rakes 

or vertical mowers will need 

to be used and can be hired. 

Mow the lawn a little lower 

than usual. If needed, water it 

to moisten the soil. 

If you use a thatching rake, 

pull the blade-like tines across 

the lawn, cutting through the 

thatch. Work in sections, then 

remove the debris. 

If you re using a power rake 

or vertical mower, adjust the 

cutters to slice just through 

the thatch layer. Check cutter 

depth after the first metre. 

Run the machine in parallel 

rows over the lawn and then 

again at 90 deg to the first 

pass. Remove debris with a 

lawn rake. 

Over-seed with a goodquality 

grass seed to improve 

the lawn’s health, vigour, and 

appearance. 

Other tips for early August 

EDIBLES 

• Dig over vacant areas and 

leave for frosts to pulverise the 

lumps. 

• Apply lime to vegetable garden 

plots where green crops 

were dug to increase worm 

activity. 

• Spread a general fertiliser 

on areas to be planted next 

month. 

• Check peach, apricot and 

nectarine buds frequently. 

Spray with copper before bud 

burst to protect against curly 

leaf. Same spray for bladder 

plum. 

• In warm areas begin sowing 

in a protected position lettuces, 

peas, silver beet and spinach. 

• Sow outdoors hardy herbs, 

tender herbs under glass. 

• In warm areas or towards the 

end of the month sow under 

glass courgettes, eggplants, 

peppers and tomatoes. 

• Plant out asparagus, globe 

artichokes, cabbage, cauliflower, 

lettuce, onions and silver 

beet. 

• Divide and replant rhubarb. 

• Fertilise citrus generously 

towards the end of the month. 

ORNAMENTAL 

• Plant deciduous trees, shrubs. 

• Complete pruning of roses 

and cutting back of all perennials. 

• Complete mulching garden 

beds. 

GENERAL 

• Slugs and snails abound, 

spread slug bait 

• Ensure all-seasons oil and 

copper sprays have been 

applied to all fruit trees and 

roses. 

HEALTHY: Produce the 

perfect lawn, dethatch it 

in early August.

GARDEN CLUBS 

Join a garden club! I wish I’d done this 30 years ago. It would have saved me a lot of 

time, effort and money! Garden club members cross many age ranges, they all garden 

in different circumstances, and they have specialist knowledge about their own areas of 

gardening interest. 

ALSTROMERIA 

I wish I had learnt earlier that you should pick alstromeria from the base of the plants. 

It would have saved me having to cut off the dead stalks later. 

WEED MATTING 

I thought all weed matting was beneficial but it’s not. The thick, canvas type starves the 

soil of nutrients and air. My next project is to remove a large area of this in order to 

develop a soil medium in which plants will grow and thrive.

Alstromeria 

Alstromeria flowers bloom during late 

spring or early summer and prefer 

full sun and well-drained soils. When 

planting, incorporate compost and wellrotted 

animal manure into the soil. Old 

flower stems should be snipped off at the 

base. In early spring, mulch around, but 

not over, the plants. 

Note: not all alstromeria are created equal. 

In fact, some are considered pest plants. 

Always source your plants from a reputable 

supplier.

INVASIVE! 

Never plant horseradish – ever! Just buy it in those little 

pots from the supermarket. And think twice before 

propagating something found growing in the wild – it is 

likely to take over your garden. 

WHOOPS! 

Ask a more experienced gardener before you try growing 

freesias from a cutting! 

THE CANTERBURY Horticultural 

Society has joined with Ferrymead 

Heritage Park to present a free heritage 

rose pruning demonstration. 

Taking place on-site in the Addington 

Workshop Memorial Garden, 

located inside Ferrymead, it will cover 

the basics of pruning these unique 

blooms. 

A heritage rose, also known as an old 

garden rose, is defined as any rose belonging 

to a class which existed before 

the introduction of the first modern 

rose, La France, in 1867. 

In general, heritage roses of European 

or Mediterranean origin are 

once-blooming woody shrubs, with 

notably fragrant, double-flowered 

blooms primarily in shades of white, 

pink and crimson-red. The shrubs’ foliage 

tends to be highly disease-resistant, 

and they generally bloom only from 

canes (stems) which formed in previous 

years. 

This will be a free event, no need to 

register, just turn up with your secateurs.

Horseradish 

Horseradish is an easy-to-grow, 

deeply rooted herb, well noted 

for its tendency to become 

invasive. When dug, its crisp 

taproot breaks and any fragment 

left in the soil soon develops 

into an individual plant. Grow 

horseradish in its own individual 

container and stand the pot on 

an inorganic surface, such as 

concrete, so the roots do not find 

their way into the garden.

Hands-on in creating 

restaurants post-quake 

Ever wondered who is cooking your food when you go out to a café or 

restaurant? The Star continues its series this week with Dux head chef 

Tristan Anderson 

Explore Chch’s best hospitality hotspots 

CTV Freeview Channel 40 or live and on demand at ctv.co.nz 

Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 10pm 


WHEN TRISTAN Anderson says he has 

worked to create three restaurants from 

scratch since the earthquake, you can take 

it literally. 

When the Dux team were working to 

open Dux Live in 2011 they pitched in 

to do whatever they could, whether that 

meant picking up a paint brush or learning 

to use a concrete grinder. 

That teamwork was something he had 

always loved about the kitchen, he said. 

“It feels like a sport when you’re doing 

service, making sure you’re manning 

your section. It’s physically and mentally 

demanding but very rewarding.” 

He now works between Dux Dine in 

Riccarton and Dux Central, managing 22 

chefs as well as cooks and kitchen-hands. 

He started at Dux de Lux in 2002, after 

several years at Blue Jean Cuisine restaurants 

in Sydenham and on Manchester St. 

From there he landed a role working as a 

chef in Melbourne. 

But when in 2010 he was offered a job 

back at Dux as sous chef, he jumped at the 

chance to return. 

Although he enjoyed the work in 

Melbourne, he said many chefs there were 

just “going through the motions”, and he 

wanted to be part of building something 

bigger. 

The role at Dux gave him a chance to 

learn more about management, and after 

the earthquake he had to put that knowledge 

straight into action as they worked to 

open Dux Live in 2011, Dux Dine in 2012 

and Dux Central last year. 

Although management was a big part of 

his work, he still stayed in the thick of the 

action in the kitchen. 

“I definitely try to create an 

environment in both my kitchens that 

I want to be in. I lead, but I make sure 

these guys are all on a level where they are 

learning together.” 

Personally, he said there was still a lot he 

was learning. 

He said Dux owner Richard Sinke was 

very well travelled and knowledgeable 

when it came to food, so developing 

menus which could impress him was its 

own challenge. 

He was recently named a finalist in 

the chef category of the Christchurch 

Hospitality Awards, alongside Harlequin 

Public House owner Jonny Schwass 

and Giulio Sturla of Lyttleton’s Roots 

Restaurant. 

He said it was an honour to be named 

alongside the two, who were both chefs he 

would “take my hat off to”. 

Although cheffing had its ups and 

downs, he was still passionate about food 

and loved what he did. 

Even after work, he said he enjoyed putting 

together a roast or slow-cooked meal 

at home for his partner and two children. 

But although he ruled the kitchen at work, 

that did not apply when he was at home. 

“It’s her kitchen. We’ve been together 

eight years, so I definitely know not to try 

to give her any advice when it comes to 

her cooking.”

Theatre/Arts 

Maori theatre “booming” 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

AN ACCLAIMED playwright 

is in the city to direct a 

production at The Court 

Theatre. 

Waiora: Te ū kai pō – The 

Homeland by Hone Kouka 

will begin at the theatre next 

month. 

The play was written about 20 

years ago by Kouka for the New 

Zealand International Arts 

Festival. 

But Kouka said he wanted 

to write a play for his parents, 

which highlighted their experiences 

moving from the East 

Cape to the South Island. 

Kouka was born in Balclutha 

before spending the first 11 

years of his life in Rangiora. 

His parents have lived in 

Rangiora for about 30 years and 

Kouka still considers himself 

a Cantabrian. He currently 

resides in Wellington. 

Kouka was the winner of 

the Bruce Mason Playwriting 

Award in 1992 and co-founded 

theatre company Tawata Productions. 

He became a member of the 

New Zealand Order of Merit 

for services to contemporary 

PERFORMANCE: Kim Garrett with acclaimed New Zealand 

playwright Hone Kouka during a rehearsal for the upcoming 

production Waiora: Te ū kai pō – The Homeland at The Court 

Theatre. 

Maori theatre in June 2009. 


Homeland tells the story of 

18-year-old Rongo, who misses 

her whanau and the sense of 

belonging she had back in her 

former home of Waiora. 

The play touches on themes 

including travelling and Pakeha 

expectations of Maori in the 

1960s. 

“In the past, Maori weren’t 

in a position of authority but 

thankfully those times have 

changed,” Kouka said. 

“It is not negative but I see we 

are a mature enough country 

that we can ask those questions 

of each other.” 

Christchurch actor Kim Garrett 

plays one of the key roles. 

Garrett moved to the city 10 

years ago to finish her Bachelor 

of Performing Arts degree at 

the National Academy of Singing 

and Dramatic Art. 

She will play the role of Wai 

Te Atatu (Sue), a mother who 

moves her family from Waiora 

on the East Cape to Waikuku 

Beach in Canterbury for a better 

life. 

“The family really wants to 

fit in. They choose not speak 

Te Reo Maori . . . they choose 

to adapt Pakeha ways because 

they figure it makes their lives 

easier,” Garrett said. 

As a Maori person, Garrett 

can relate to the play after 

feeling like she was “the only 

Maori in Christchurch” when 

she first moved to the city. 

“I wasn’t . . . but all I saw was 

a sea of white faces and people 

looking at me oddly,” she said. 

Kouka said Maori theatre is 

“booming” in New Zealand 

and he has been commissioned 

by The Court Theatre to write 

another Christchurch-based 

play. 


Homeland will run from August 

13-September 3. To book 

tickets go to https://courttheatre.org.nz/show/waiora-te-ukai-po-the-homeland/ 

Repertory 

Theatre’s 

new website 

ONE OF the city’s longest-running 

theatre groups has relaunched their 

image with a new website. 

Bookings to go see Canterbury 

Repertory Theatre performances 

can now be made through their new 

website, www.repertory.nz 

The theatre’s administrator and 

business manager David Watkins 

said the decision to launch a new 

website coincides with the decision 

not to build a new theatre. 

Their previous Kilmore St theatre 

was closed following the September 

2010 earthquake. 

Their productions are now held at 

the Elmwood Normal School’s auditorium 

in Merivale. 

Previously, tickets to the theatre’s 

productions were available through 

the Eventfinda website, meaning the 

theatre paid about nine per cent of its 

earnings to the booking company. 

The Canterbury Repertory Theatre 

has been open since 1928. 

They kept staging plays throughout 

World War 2 and immediately after 

the earthquakes. 

The theatre’s next show will be 

William Shakespeare’s King Lear. The 

production will be staged next month 

to mark 400 years since Shakespeare’s 

death.

Benchmark Homes’ latest show home is testament to 

the new direction being forged by the company, says its 

Director Richard Evans. For a solid six months Richard 

and his team of innovative designers have been working 

hard to create a new portfolio of 30 concept plans that 

focus on functionality and form. 

“During this intensive design period we really challenged 

ourselves by asking how we could do things better in a 

cost effective way. The Lincoln show home illustrates a 

distinctive new style that characterises our ethos which 

prizes high functionality and unique design above all 

else.” 

Due to the popularity of their Prestons show home they 

adapted the executive style home to accommodate a 

family lifestyle. “By retaining its elegant contemporary 

style throughout and the U shaped living area that 

proved to be the home’s key selling point we’ve received 

overwhelmingly positive feedback that aligns perfectly 

with today’s design savvy consumers.” 

With a firm focus on strong design and high functionality, 

the Lincoln show home uses natural products like 

marble and cedar, as well as on-trend painted brick, 

which provides a unique architectural aspect. Richard 

explains that its architecturally driven design is evident in 

standout features like the magnificent vaulted ceilings, 

which elevates the living area to majestic heights. 

Energy efficiency is a key component of all Benchmark 

Homes. Using natural timbers like cedar from a local, 

sustainable supply, integrating LED lighting, skylights 

that add warmth and light, clever window placement that 

maximise all day sun, and a substantially thicker floor 

underlay, all work together to create modern homes that 

are both sustainable and economical to run. 

Quality control and attention to the finer details is what 

sets Benchmark Homes apart. Since the quakes 

insurers’ demands on building codes and compliance 

has helped raised the bar on quality. Producing ‘zero 

defect homes’ now provides consumers with a higher 

guarantee on the finish of their build. 

“The expectation clients have for a new build that’s free of 

imperfections is becoming more and more achievable. 

Our project managers take great pride in the work we 

do and ensure clients are given ample opportunity to 

assess the quality of the finished product, giving clients 

the utmost confidence.” 

While Benchmark Homes has a range of concept plans 

on offer, these are designed as a starting point for clients 

and bespoke designs that begin with a client’s brief 

enable complete creative control with no limitations.

Travel 

Madrid: A case of what sights 

• By Mike Yardley 

MAGNIFICENT Madrid belongs 

in that very special league of city 

destinations, where it’s myriad 

of sights and mouth-drooling 

experiences could easily keep you 

enthralled for weeks. 

That in itself creates a 

formidable dilemma – what to 

do, what to skip, when time is the 

enemy? 

On previous visits, I’ve 

overlooked some of the heavyhitters 

like the Prado, which is 

home to the one world’s largest 

collections of artworks. So, a 

fortnight ago, I set aside half 

a day to trawl its numerous 

galleries and the one thousand 

masterpieces, by the likes of 

Titian, Velazquez, Rubens and 

Goya. 

What I loved about the Prado, 

is its layout is logical, so you can 

literally walk through the history 

of Western Art, over a thousand 

years, and see its steady evolution. 

From the relatively 

unsophisticated medieval and 

Gothic paintings through to 

the flamboyance of the Baroque 

period, and on to the Romantics 

and Realists. Mentally soothing 

and a great escapist refuge on a 

stonkingly hot day. Palacio Real 

LANDMARKS: Madrid’s Cibeles Fountain and The Bear and the Tree statue are photographic standouts. 

is the other big set-piece that I 

visited for the first time. 

Like the Prado, you can’t take 

photos inside, which is a pity 

because this palace of 2800 

rooms, of which 50 are thrown 

open to the masses, is furnished 

with ridiculously regal baroque 

extravagance. I had to keep 

picking my jaw off the floor. On 

the odd occasion when I was 

tempted to take a sneaky photo, 

a po-faced attendant would 

mysteriously appear from behind 

a velvet curtain, with a stern and 

dissuasive expression, as I did an 

awkward fumble with my camera, 

a la Mr Bean. 

Palacio Real is excess all 

areas, deliberately designed to 

imitate Versailles, when it was 

commissioned by the Bourbon 

kings in 1734. Don’t miss the 

old Royal Pharmacy where the 

wall shelving is stacked with all 

manner of potions and herbal 

concoctions, suggesting the 

Spanish royals were quite a sickly 

lot. 

In a city brimming with 

landmarks, the photographic 

standouts for me are the Cibeles 

Fountain, where Real Madrid 

celebrates all football triumphs, 

and The Bear and The Tree statue. 

Emblematic of Madrid, you’ll find 

this gorgeous artwork in Puerta 

del Sol, the city’s historic centre. 

Sol would be a magical place 

to ring in the New Year, beneath 

the old Royal Post Office clock. 

Tradition dictates that you eat 12 

grapes, one for each chime of the 

clock, and make a wish for the 

new year. 

For a lesser-trafficked slice of 

Madrid, stake out the Temple of 

Debod, atop a hill behind Palacio 

Real. 2200 years old, it was 

teleported from Egypt to Spain 

in 1968, to make way for a hydro 

dam project!

This is an absolutely sublime 

perch to watch the sun set 

over Madrid’s gilded skyline. 

When marvelling at Puerta del 

Sol’s bustle, relish the gastroexuberance 

of San Miguel Indoor 

Market. 

This venerable cast-iron 

emporium, celebrating its 

centenary this year, contains a 

cornucopia of appetising gourmet 

stalls, hot and cold tidbits, 

fresh produce, and numerous 

invitations to sample wine, sherry 

and sangria. 

A signature dish when dining 

at night in Madrid is their famed 

roast suckling pig. Divine! 

Grazing from the plethora 

of tapas bars in La Latina, I 

particularly enjoyed a small plate 

of Oreja a la Plancha. 

Not initially sure what exactly 

it was, I later discovered I had 

lustily devoured a plate of pig’s 

ear, sprinkled with paprika and 

mixed with mushrooms. An on 

the go snack, which seems to 

be fiendishly popular, is bocata 

de calamares, fried calamari in 

crusty bread.

scrumptious and you’ll find a

tasty snacks around beautiful

into a hot cup of chocolate. 

Madrilenos will commonly 

hoover them up for breakfast. 

In a city that is famed for not 

going to bed until they have killed 

the night, head to Chocolateria 

San Gines. It’s a major haunt at 

dawn for the late-night fiesta 

crowd, who pop in for a pick-meup,

More intrigue with Warriors selections 

ANOTHER WEEK, another 

intriguing Warriors line-up. 

The club may be stuck on the 

bottom half of the ladder, but 

they are in the top echelon of the 

NRL when it comes to sending 

mixed messages with their selections. 

The latest round of musical 

chairs at Mt Smart sees Tui Lolohea 

return to full-back for Saturday’s 

clash with the Panthers. 

It will mark the first time 

Lolohea has worn the No 1 jersey 

since the round 15 win over 

the Roosters. Since then he has 

started once on the wing against 

the Titans, and had a total of 60 

minutes from three interchange 

appearances. 

It’s unfortunately been par 

for the course for the 21-yearold. 

Since his debut in 2014, 

he has played every position in 

the backline, with 17 games at 

full-back, 11 on the wing, four at 

centre, six in the halves and five 

from the bench. 

To accommodate Lolohea, 

David Fusitua switches to centre 

at the expense of Blake Ayshford, 

dropped to the interchange 

bench. Ayshford has started 

every game this year. 

A month ago Fusitua was lauded 

as the best fullback in the club 

(in the absence of Roger Tuivasa- 

Sheck) and he has caught the eye 

with his late piercing runs into 

the backline and tidy work under 

the high ball. 

He’s a compelling talent, a 

player that needs to be in the 

starting line up every week, 

but he faces a big ask on Saturday. 

Fusitua has made only three 

NRL appearances at centre in 

his career, and the last was more 

than a year ago – but he will run 

out with an unfamiliar number 

in a crucial match. 

“We feel this is the best for the 

team and [Lolohea] will give us 

that spark attack-wise as well,” 

Warriors assistant coach Justin 

Morgan told Radio Sport. 

The only other change sees Ben 

Matulino move into the starting 

lineup with James Gavet shifting 

to the bench. 

Warriors – Tuimoala Lolohea, 

Ken Maumalo, David Fusitu’a, 

Solomone Kata, Manu Vatuvei, 

Thomas Leuluai, Shaun Johnson, 

Jacob Lillyman, Issac Luke, Ben 

Matulino, Bunty Afoa, Ryan 

Hoffman (C), Simon Mannering, 

Jazz Tevaga, Sam Lisone, James 

Gavet, Blake Ayshford.

Must win match for St Andrew’s 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ST ANDREW’S College 

will need to beat the two 

front runners in the UC 

Championship if they are to 

qualify for this year’s play-offs. 

The school pulled off a 

historic upset 12 months ago, 

defeating the much-fancied 

Christchurch Boys’ High School 

first XV 25-24. 

They will need to pull off a 

repeat of last season’s result on 

Saturday when they travel to 

Christchurch BHS. They then 

play championship leader’s 

Christ’s College in the last 

round. 

With two games to play, 

Christchurch BHS is already 

assured of a home semi-final. 

The team won’t be taking this 

weekend’s clash lightly, though, 

still hurting from their 2015 

result. 

“It was interesting, a lot of the 

boys have mentioned that STAC 

is the game they’ve been looking 

forward to all year. I think 

it was the first time they had 

beaten us in 12 or 13 years,” said 

Christchurch BHS coach Mike 

Drury. 

Drury is also well aware of 

how much is at stake for STAC 

on Saturday and knows they 

will throw everything at his 

GRUDGE MATCH: STAC and Christchurch BHS will meet for 

the first time on Saturday since last year’s 25-24 victory to 

STAC. 

side, in search of a play-off spot. 

STAC are on the edge of the 

top four. Just three points separate 

seven teams all vying for a 

play-off spot. 

“Anybody is capable of beating 

anyone else on their day. It 

shows with St Thomas’ beating 

Shirley, and Rangiora beating 

Marlborough. It’s going to come 

down to the last round to see 

who makes the top four and top 

eight,” said STAC coach Mike 

Johnston. 

Although making the finals 

will be the objective with two 

rounds remaining, Johnston 

believes the team has already 

punched above their weight. 

“We haven’t got the strike 

power we had last year, but in 

saying that, from our point of 

view, we’ve done pretty well 

this year with a young team. 

I’ve been impressed with their 

passion and commitment to 

play for STAC this year,” said 

Johnston. 

A number of this weekend’s 

games will be make or break. 

When Timaru host Marlborough 

on Saturday, only the victor 

will have a play-off chance 

going into the final round. The 

same applies for Burnside High 

School and St Bede’s College. 

STAC v Christchurch BHS 

will be broadcast live on CTV. 

Kick-off is at 2.45 from 

Christchurch BHS.

President’s 

Shield up for 

grabs 

THE LAST round of the Canterbury 

Premier League hockey competition 

will feature a winner takes all match 

between Harewood and Carlton 

Redcliffs. 

Going into Saturday’s game, 2015 

champion Harewood top the standings 

on 36 points while Carlton 

Redcliffs sit on 34, meaning a draw 

will be enough for Harewood to win 

the President’s Shield. 

However, after the round-robin, the 

top four teams will go into the playoff 

to compete for the Canterbury 

Premier League championship. 

The teams have met once already 

this year, when Carlton Redcliffs took 

the spoils 4-3 on June 11. 

Harewood’s Garren Fyfe and Carlton 

Redcliffs’ Tom Mouldey share the 

competition’s top goal scoring spot 

with 17 goals a piece. 

Although both teams will still 

qualify for this year’s league semifinals, 

Carlton Redcliffs coach Jeremy 

Symonds believes the bragging rights 

will be decided this weekend. 

He said the team’s main goal at the 

beginning of the year was to win the 

round-robin. 

Saturday’s match gets underway at 

4.30pm at Marist Park.

Weekday coverage of local sport 

with Gordon Findlater 

HIGHLANDERS COACH Jamie 

Joseph has acknowledged the 

threat the Lions pose against his 

side ahead of their semi-final 

clash at Ellis Park this weekend, 

claiming they are a team that 

have improved as the competition 

has progressed and play an 

all-round style of rugby. 

Speaking to the New Zealand 

Herald from Johannesburg, 

Joseph said the South African 

outfit had been a consistently 

solid side and would challenge 

his defending champion team in 

the franchise’s second play-off 

match of the season. 

“They’ve been a consistently 

good team,” Joseph said. 

“We had a good game against 

the Lions, but since they’ve been 

back in South Africa, they’ve just 

gone from strength to strength. 

“Unlike a lot of the South African 

teams, they play a running 

game of football, they can maul, 

they can scrum, so they’ve got 

a total game, and I guess that’s 

one of the big reasons why they 

are still here at this stage of the 

competition. 

“The challenge is in front of 

us, we’re really looking forward 

to it.” 

Highlanders 50-test halfback 

Aaron Smith added that the 

Lions were an outfit not to be 

taken lightly. 

“They’re very similar to New 

Zealand teams, but then they 

also have the traits of a normal 

South African team,” Smith said.

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY v NEW BRIGHTON 

3pm, Sunday July 31 at Rugby Park, Christchurch. 

Lincoln’s objective - back to back trophies 

Back to back Hawkins trophy titles. That’s 

the objective for Lincoln University going into 

Sunday’s clash with rivals New Brighton. 

The two clubs have plenty of history. 

Lincoln University had the chance to clinch a 

fourth straight Hawkins cup title in early May. 

They met New Brighton in the final round of the 

competition in what would turn out to be the 

cup decider. 

The match lived up to the hype, a missed drop 

goal attempt from Lincoln Universities Brett 

cameron just inside 30 metres would be the 

decider, as New Brighton took home the cup in a 

32-30 thriller. 

Lincoln University have the chance to reverse 

the odds on Sunday when they meet New 

Brighton in another winner takes all scenario. 

Lincoln dominated last year’s metro 

competition, going unbeaten the whole year. 

They haven’t had an easy run in 2016 however. 

“The division one competition is a tough old 

competition. Last year was probably a one off 

and this year i knew we were going to have some 

losses. I think it’s what you learn from those 

losses that makes you a better team and for our 

younger players losing was a really good thing,” 

said Lincoln University coach John Haggart. 

Lincoln University have the luxury of having 

a large chunk of the regions top young talent 

which has made its way from around the country 

in search of a super rugby career with the 

crusaders. 

John Haggart highlighted Jordie Barrett - 

younger brother of Beauden Barrett - as one of 

the younger players that has taken the team to a 

new level. 

“He’s certainly added tremendous impetus 

to the team since returning from New Zealand 

under 20’s.” 

Barrett’s bag of tricks were well on display in 

New Brighton’s 36-34 semi-final victory over 

Sydenham on Saturday. 

He scored two tries late in the game to singlehandedly 

put his team into the final. With ten 

minutes left Barrett beautifully chipped the 

Sydenham defence, with the ball bouncing onto a 

platter for him to score. His second try was even 

more impressive, an amazing effort from Lincoln 

inside their own 22 resulted in Barrett making 

a break and then rounding crusaders full-back 

Mitch Hunt to score the winner on full-time. 

The coach was impressed with his starts 

efforts, proving crucial in what was a true, hard 

fought semi-final victory. 

“She was a good old classic back and forth 

match, that for sure. There was a mixture of relief 

after the game but also a lot of pride as well,” says 

Haggart. 

Lincoln University defeated christchurch 

24-19 at Rugby Park 12 months ago to claim 

last year’s Hawkins trophy. only around half 

of 2015’s trophy winning side will take place 

in Sundays final. That’s the nature of university 

rugby with young players coming and going. 

Sunday will be extra special for the club with

Hawkins Div 1 Club Rugby Trophy Final 

New Brighton in with a chance 

to make history 

NeW BRIgHtoN have a chance to make 

history this weekend. The seaside club has 

never won both the round-robin cup and top 

six trophy competitions in the same year. 

The team claimed the Hawkins cup in the 

final round-robin match on June 4 with a 

stunning 32-30 win over Lincoln University. 

Since then the message has been clear, they 

want to do the double. 

aaron Mccoy, the club’s most experienced 

player spoke to the team before last weekend’s 

semi-final, explaining that when the trophy 

is being held aloft this Sunday nobody will 

remember who won the cup earlier in the 

season. 

They couldn’t have a bigger opponent to try 

and create history against. New Brighton and 

Lincoln University have been the stand-out 

performers in the metro competition over the 

last few year years and have plenty of recent 

history. 

“They’ve got some of the best young talent 

from around the country. It is a rivalry, there’s 

no doubt about that because they’re the bench 

mark,” said New Brighton coach Scott Pawson 

Saturday’s 24-20 win over christchurch went 

right down to the wire. New Brighton trailed 

with less than ten minutes remaining, before 

replacement centre alisi tupuailei charged 

over the line to secure the teams spot in 

Sunday’s grand final. 

It was a much needed turn in form, New 

Brighton came into the finals on the back of 

consecutive defeats. 

“We won our first three games in the top six, 

we had sort of cemented our spot in the semifinals 

and a bit of the edge went off. It was a bit 

of complacency on our behalf and the other 

teams played well to be fair,” says Pawson. 

New Brighton have made the semi-finals of 

the Hawkins trophy the previous two years. 

2013 was the last time they lifted the trophy, 

Scott Pawson’s first year coaching the team and 

their first trophy win since 1984. 

“We’ve got eight players that were involved 

in that final in 2013. It’s nice having guy’s 

that have won it and had that experience. 

It definitely helps being able to rely on that 

experience,” said Pawson. 

No 8 aaron Mccoy has been a standout for 

New Brighton in 2016. The experienced loose 

forward leads the team with 12 tries and is 

third in the Division one MVP - most valuable 

player - standings. 

“He’s been in the form of his career this 

season. He’s had a bit of a glitch the last couple 

of weeks, he went on a trip to Manila and has 

taken a couple of weeks to recover from that. It 

probably does coincide with the two losses we 

had,” says Pawson. 

Coaches Comment on the Opposition: 

“They’ve got a very good young backline with Jordie Barrett, 

Jack goodhue and Harrison groundwater they’re going to be 

good Super Rugby players. They’re forward pack is underrated to 

be honest, it’s a good young pack.” 

LINCOLN UNIVERSITY v NEW BRIGHTON 

3pm, Sunday July 31 at Rugby Park, Christchurch. 

New Brighton captain Billy Harmon who 

missed a chunk of the first round of the 

competition has also been impressive for the 

seasiders this year. He was rewarded for his

efforts, named in canterbury’s NPc initial

Pawson also heaped praise on loose forward 

troy Mangan who has returned from Nelson 

after making an attempt to work his way into 

tasman’s NPc team.

The Star 49 

Driven 

Value Cars 

BMW has combination 

of power and efficiency 

• By Ross Kiddie 

IT’S A phone call I’ve 

received a couple of times 

in the past. The invitation 

goes something like this: 

“Would you like to fly to 

Queenstown and drive 

a new BMW back to 

Christchurch?’’ 

Of course, it’s an offer 

I’ve been only too willing 

to accept, especially 

considering that drive is one 

of the best in New Zealand, 

and the car in this instance 

was my favourite out of the 

BMW stable – the 330i. 

It was in April when 

I evaluated the 320i, a 

3-Series car which has 

effectively the same engine, 

but with lesser power 

outputs, the 330i is rated 

with 185kW and 350Nm 

against 135kW and 270Nm. 

Of course, there’s also a 

four-cylinder diesel model 

in the line-up. 

The 3-Series in total is a 

true sports sedan range and 

I’m really smitten with the 

concept, the 330i has road 

feel, power and handling 

that makes you feel so much 

part of the car. 

And if you take into 

account it has economy 

almost unrealistic for 

a performance car, the 

combination is simply 

amazing. 

On my long highway 

journey and cruising at 

a steady 100km/h, the 

instantaneous fuel usage 

figure was constantly 

hovering around fourlitres 

per 100km (70mpg), 

that sits well with BMW’s 

combined cycle average 

claim of just 5.8l/100km 

(49mpg). 

These figures could 

suggest unremarkable 

performance, but the 

opposite applies, the 330i 

is the powerhouse of the 

3-Series line-up, it will 

scamper to 100km/h in 

5.8sec and will make 

an 80km/h to 120km/h 

overtaking time of 4sec. 

And I made many overtakes 

on my journey, the 330i is a 

touring car of true genius. 

But it is also the docile 

sedan for when the driving 

environment is a lot more 

sedate, I had the test car 

for a week at home and 

BMW 330i: Touring car of true genius. 

used it for inner-city travel, 

especially to and from the 

hospital during the time my 

wife was having surgery. 

The 330i is involving to 

drive at all times, as a driver 

you feel tightly connected 

to it. The 3-Series isn’t, 

big but it does translate its 

compact proportions into a 

user-friendly environment, 

and that is something 

BMW does well, not only 

is it desirable, as a sports 

machine it relishes the 

everyday role. 

• Price – BMW 330i, 

$88,000 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4633mm; 

width, 1811mm; 

height, 1429mm 

• Configuration: Fourcylinder, 

rear-wheeldrive, 

1988cc, 185kW, 

350Nm, eight-speed 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 5.8sec 

• Fuel usage– 

5.8l/100km 

To reinforce that, the 330i 

has compliant suspension, 

it soaks up the big hits from 

Christchurch’s roads, but it 

also has the firming needed 

to control body balance 

tightly when fired into a 

series of tight corners. 

Of course, the 3-Series 

has a host of wheel and tyre 

options but the test car was 

sitting on aggressive, 19in 

Bridgestone Potenza rubber. 

I leaned the evaluation car 

heavily into several tight 

and twisty sections and 

can conclusively say grip 

is phenomenal, the quality 


www.blackwells.co.nz 

of the fully independent 

suspension lends itself to 

sporty driving, and if you 

take into account the feel 

you get from rear-wheeldrive, 

then being part of a 

car such as this is almost 

the ultimate pleasure. 

At the other end, 

sitting longitudinally, is a 

turbocharged, four-cylinder 

engine. The twin-camshaft 

unit works through an 

eight-speed automatic 

gearbox. It has a paddleshift 

mechanism if you 

want to take control over 

the gearshift process. There 

are also sport, normal and 

eco pro driving modes that 

the driver can use so that 

the car can adapt to varying 

driving conditions. 

I used sport mode a lot 

when passing opportunities 

arrived, and normal mode 

when long straights called 

for the use of cruise control. 

With the decisive torque 

boost that turbocharging 

provides, the 330i is a swift 

mover under acceleration, it 

will pull from anywhere in 

the rev band. At city speeds 

the engine will often hover 

at around 1000rpm, yet it 

will unleash and rev freely if 

the throttle is given a nudge. 

The 330i lands here at 

$88,000, it’s a premium 

price but you do get a lot of 

car for the money. Column 

space doesn’t allow for 

comprehensive detailing 

of specification items but 

to say it has a lot of kit and 

can be specced to personal 

satisfaction. 

However, the factor that 

means the most to me is the 

engineering prowess that 

BMW builds into its motor 

vehicles, the chassis design 

and construction create a 

sublime driving experience 

while the engine is a true 

delight with its surge and 

keen throttle response. 

As much as I enjoyed the 

drive back to Christchurch 

and, as much as I lust after 

the 330i, I’d still be happy 

with its sibling – the 320i. It 

doesn’t miss out on much, 

and a potential buyer could 

end up with a $16,000 

saving.

Winter is a great time to sell... 

People often think of summer as the best time to sell 

their home. There are however major benefits to sell in 

winter. The life changes that cause buyers to look for a 

new home - new job, growing family, a need to up or 

downsize - don’t just happen in summer. In winter fewer 

homes are on the market, that means less competition 

for the buyers who are looking for a home like yours. 

And with interest rates so low, this winter is seeing more 

buyers out looking. They want to lock in low interest 

rates and don’t want to risk waiting in case these deals 

are gone. An informed buyer also knows that things that 

aren’t evident in summer, like dampness and lack of sun, 

are more easily identified in winter. 

If a buyer loves your house in the middle of winter, they 

will love it when the sun shines in summer.

free market appraisal.

Step 1: Finance 

Firstly, it is important to organise your finances in 

advance in order to work out what you can realistically 

afford. There is little point getting excited about an 

impending building project if you have no idea how far 

your finances will stretch. Draw up a realistic budget of 

your present household expenses to see whether building 

a new home is in fact feasible. Once you have an idea 

of how much money you are able to outlay without 

causing yourself excessive hardship, it is time to start 

investigating the cost involved when constructing your 

new home. 

Step 2: Purchasing a section 

Buying the right section is an essential part of the 

building process and as such, there are a number of 

important things that need to be considered. 

Is the section close to all necessary amenities, such 

as schools, shops, hospitals and public transport? Does 

it have a view, plenty of sun, privacy and good drainage, 

or is it prone to flooding, windy and miles away from 

civilisation? Visit at different times of the day, in different 

weather conditions and if time is on your side, different 

times of the year to see how much sun it gets in the winter 

when the sun is at its lowest. 

Also, take into consideration its potential as a building 

site – is access difficult? This could have an impact on 

building costs. 

Find out from your local council what services, such as 

water, sewage, power, phone and gas, are connected to the 

site. Check whether there is good television and mobile 

phone reception, or whether your new address means you 

have to scale the clothesline and hold your phone in an 

obscure position just to send a text message. 

The neighbourhood can also be a contentious issue 

when purchasing a section. What are the neighbours like, 

and are their properties well-kept? Are there overhanging 

trees that could cause a nuisance? Could there be a noise 

problem from them or their pets? Get a feel of the area, 

listening for traffic, animals or noisy machinery that is in 

use around the clock. 

If there is vacant land adjacent to your proposed site, 

find out whether the council has any plans for it and what 

can and can’t be built there. 

Before buying the section, you also need to find out 

what is in your council’s district plan, and what resource 

consents you might need. You also need to request a LIM 

report, which is held by your local council and outlines 

all information pertaining to your section regarding 

rates, land features, environmental issues, restrictions on 

land or building use, resource consents issued, potential 

contaminations, details about septic tanks, hazardous 

substances and storm water or sewage drains. 

The report may also contain information about 

sacred areas and may also provide aerial photographs. 

This information may help you make the all-important 

decision to either buy the section or leave it alone. It will 

also give you an indication as to whether the purchase 

price is fair. 

Step 3: Choose and brief the designer 

Before deciding on a designer for your building 

project, it is necessary to conduct some research in order 

to find out which type will suit you best. 

Speak to a few before making your choice and liaise 

with them periodically once work on the design of your 

home has commenced. Get involved by gathering ideas 

for materials, fixtures, fittings and discuss them with your 

designer. 

Step 4: Finding a builder 

Once the plans are drawn, the materials have been 

chosen and your finance is arranged, the next step in the 

building process is likely to be finding a builder. 

Hiring the right builder is crucial to the whole 

building experience. People who have been involved 

in building a house typically report that the key 

factor in making it a happy experience is finding a 

good builder and subcontractors. The most common 

things that soured their building experience were 

poor workmanship, contractors not turning up, no 

communication, complaints overlooked, problems left 

unresolved, messages ignored and delays. In contrast, 

people who had positive experiences reported that the 

builders they had hired were highly skilled, honest, 

knowledgeable, patient and sympathetic to their goals 

and budget.

Whatever type of renovation work you want 

to have done, whether it’s a new kitchen, 

a renovated bathroom, a whole home 

makeover, or outside work such as fences, 

decks and pergolas, the team at Quality 

Tradesmen can do the job, including the 

project management. 

“From concept to completion, we’ve got 

you covered,” says owner David Gawith. 

The team of qualified tradesmen includes 

builders, plasterers, painters, plumbers and 

electricians, who will undertake all those 

aspects of the work, completing it on time 

and on budget. 

“Our name says it all, really. We provide 

quality work,” David says. “And we are not 

happy unless the client is happy. We keep 

going until the client is completely happy 

with the job. Happy clients who tell their 

friends about us are the best business card 

you can have.” 

Reliability is another key aspect of the 

firm’s business, with clients assured that the 

tradesmen will turn up when expected, and 

complete the work as required. 

“We’re a modern firm working with up-todate 

methods, but with the old-fashioned 

values that people expect when they’re 

paying for a job,” David says. 

The team at Quality Tradesmen have the 

skills to transform any room, any home, to 

not only add value but also to create the 

living spaces you want.
