A TINY piece of the city’s 

railway history has come back 

to life. 

Railway Tce in Heathcote 

Valley has been newly-repaired 

following damage in the 

September 4, 2010, and February 

22, 2011, earthquakes. 

The little street was formed 

by New Zealand Rail in 1961 

to build six workers’ houses 

between Port Hills Rd and the 

motorway. 

NZR later sold them into 

private ownership and each 

resident owns a sixth of the 

road. 

It means there’s no city council 

responsibility for maintenance 

such as road sweepers, weed 

spraying or drain clearance. 

And the costs of fixing the 

quake damage fell on the homeowners’ 

private insurance. 

Plumber Peter Bigelow has 

lived on Railway Tce for years. 

He said it had taken quite a 

bit of co-ordination to fix the 

road as it came under private 

insurance rather than EQC. 

“Half of us were with AA 

(Vero) and they took the lead, 

managed it and went to the other 

insurers.” 

Fibre was laid first, then 

potholes repaired and new kerbs 

and footpaths are now going in. 

The work has taken about a 

month. 

Mr Bigelow said Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson has been helpful 

in advocating on behalf of the 

come to for a holiday but you have the 

opportunity to live the holiday lifestyle 

all year round. There is plenty to do in 

and around the town with art galleries, 

theatre and cinema, interesting shops 

and boutiques, two museums and a wide 

range of good places to eat. For the more 

adventurous there are river and forest walks 

nearby, opportunities for biking and a choice 

of two local golf clubs.

your future lifestyle call Hayley Grant on

PIECE OF HISTORY: Ngai Tuari is one of six homeowners living on Railway Tce, Heathcote, whose private insurance has funded the 

repair of the earthquake-damaged road. 

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS 

Railway Tce homeowners. 

Ngai Tuari shifted into a 

three-bedroom property with 

her engine driver husband 

about 35 years ago and raised 

her four children there, all of 

them attending Heathcote Valley 

Primary School. 

“It’s a lovely street, I wouldn’t 

move for quids. In fact, I sold my 

other house, the original one, to 

my son, so he’s my neighbour. 

And he wouldn’t move for quids 

as well.” 

However, the private road is 

“an awful pain,” Mrs Tuari said. 

“It’s a private road, but that 

doesn’t work because any of the 

public are allowed to use it. 

The only time it becomes a 

private road is when we have 

to pay for it. I’d love to put a gate 

up there and you pay a 

gold coin to go through it. 

Then the upkeep wouldn’t be a 

problem.” 

“But it is a nice community 

feel; it’s almost like the country; 

you can hear cows, see the horse 

paddocks and the watercress 

growing everywhere. Just the feel 

of the place, it’s lovely.”

This has been a happy family home for many years, but a change in circumstances creates an 

opportunity for another family to move in and enjoy this lovely property. The views are hard 

to beat, across the city to the mountains and sea beyond. The substantial home is configured 

to offer great flexibility for all sorts of households, with a semi self-contained area that could 

be fantastic for extended family. 

The main areas of the home are upstairs where living, dining and kitchen are open plan, all 

with aspects of the view. The living room opens through ranch sliders to a wooden deck that 

wraps around the house and also connects to the master bedroom. A large kitchen area with 

room for casual dining is a few steps up from the living spaces and connects to a private and 

sheltered outdoor area at the rear of the property. 

The master bedroom has an ensuite, and there are two other bedrooms upstairs along with 

the main bathroom facilities, which are separated into 3 rooms, making it a practical and 

convenient home for busy households. Downstairs a spacious entrance and stairway area 

opens into a double bedroom with adjoining living and kitchen area, which in turn connects 

to a large games room. These are all generous spaces with myriad uses. The whole downstairs 

area has it’s own large outdoor area where of course the views take centre stage. 

There is a double garage with easy drive on access and off street parking. The timeless design 

of the house offers the next owners potential to update without breaking the bank. Whatever 

the next owner plans it will be the views that capture the heart and spark the imagination.

In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE ANNUAL Take a Kid 

Fishing event at the Groynes 

lakes may be saved. 

However, the October event 

could be pushed back into late 

November or December this 

year. 

There were fears the event 

could be cancelled due to 

rapid growth of the lagarosiphon 

weed. 

City council 

regional parks 

manager Kay 

Holder has 

recommended 

two options 

involving 

David Denton 

chemical 

control to the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community Board, to minimise 

the problem. 

“The reasons for the rapid 

growth are not well understood 

but the warm summer and high 

nutrient flow into the lakes 

could be the cause . . . at this 

stage it is proposed that further 

on-going chemical control of the 

lake weed will be the most effective 

method for management,” 

said Ms Holder. 

The work, costing $15,000, 

would go ahead this upcoming 

spring/summer season and 

fishing cannot take place for six 

weeks afterwards. 

Event organiser David Denton 

said the event can work with the 

new dates, if a commitment is 

made by city council to control 

the weed. 

The Take A Kid Fishing event 

has been held at the Groynes annually 

since 1988. 

About five to six thousand 

people attend it each year. 

Previously the Isaac Conservation 

and Wildlife Trust has 

donated 800 salmon which are 

released into the lake. 

Volunteers show the children 

how to catch a salmon, clean it 

and prepare it for cooking. 

It is unclear how effective the 

chemical control could be. 

“There will still be some 

uncertainly on the effectiveness 

of the control as it depends on 

unknown environmental conditions, 

if the weed regrows in

time for it to be controlled and 

chemical effectiveness,” said Ms 

Holder. 

The large quantity of weed 

means that if pulled out, it 

will regrow and potentially 

spread. 

“There are concerns that mechanical 

methods may produce 

loose stem that could move to 

other water bodies and spread 

the weed problem,” said Ms 

Holder. 

BUND WORK DEFERRED 

Work on building a temporary 

bund in the area between Bridge 

St and the South New Brighton 

jetty has been deferred. The work 

was approved by city council 

last October as a short-term, 

temporary measure to reduce 

the flood risk for properties 

in the area. Since then more 

detailed hydraulic modelling 

has suggested the flood risk is 

significantly lower than indicated 

by early analysis. 

ANZAC DRIVE FLOODING 

The city council is aware of 

an issue regarding surface 

flooding during heavy rain at 

the intersection of Anzac Drive 

and Pages Rd. City council 

land drainage manager Keith 

Davison said Anzac Drive is an 

NZTA asset and that the two are 

working together to identify the 

cause of the flooding, including 

inspections of the pipe network. 

FORMER TEACHER DIES 

Linwood College’s longest serving 

teacher Alan Parris died on April 

21. Mr Parris taught maths at 

the school from 1979 until 2016. 

He had been made a Member of 

the Order of New Zealand for 

services to maths education. Mr 

Parris had fought a long battle

Nayland St favoured for skate park 

• By Sarla Donovan 

IT’S OFFICIAL – the 

community’s favoured site for a 

skate park is 26 Nayland St. 

Consultation results were 

released last week, and from 534 

submissions a whopping 314 (58 

per cent) supported the former 

Marine Tavern site. 

Sumner beach was the second 

most popular with 109 supporters, 

and the former Redcliffs 

School site third with 78. Scott 

Park was a distant fourth, with 

just 28 in favour. 

Five submitters did not select a 

ranking preference. 

The Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community were 

to make a decision in April, but 

it is now likely to be August 

before the matter is put to the 

board. 

That’s because the city council 

is in discussions with the crown 

around ownership of the adjacent 

sites at 20/24 Nayland St, 

said head of parks Brent Smith. 

The board has also 

requested a soil test on 26 Nayland 

St, to “further inform their 

decision making for a site,” he 

said. 

Sumner Green and Skate 

spokeswoman Liza Sparrow said 

the group was “delighted” 26

popular site for the permanent 

skate area, as it would enable a 

village green to be developed 

adjacent to it. 

“We are now one step closer to 

achieving the goal of having 

a recreation space within the 

heart of the village,” said Ms 

Sparrow. 

“If 26 Nayland Street is approved 

for use by our community 

board, Sumner Green and 

Skate will continue to work with 

the city council to ensure that 

this project is completed in a 

way which best meets the needs 

of our community.” 

In the meantime, the group 

is fundraising for landscaping 

and upkeep around the temporary 

ramp on the Nayland St/ 

Wakefield Ave corner, which Ms 

Sparrow said may be in place 

until 2021.

Long wait 

likely for 

safety barrier 

A $92,000 safety barrier to protect 

pedestrians using the coastal 

“goat track” in Moncks Bay could 

be years away. 

The track runs alongside Main 

Rd from Redcliffs to Sumner. 

It has seen two serious crashes 

since 2016. 

A new metal barrier was 

installed at the Shag Rock bend in 

December, following the death of 

Maureen Imrie when her husband 

Bruce smashed through the 

wooden barrier and into the sea. 

The walkway south of the bend, 

where repeat drink driver Sarah 

Arrow crashed into a couple, badly 

injuring one, is only protected in 

parts by a flimsy wooden fence. 

City council transport operations 

manager Steffan Thomas 

said they were giving “consideration” 

to a barrier as part of the 

Coastal Pathway project. 

But the $10 million Moncks 

Bay/Shag Rock section of the 

project is not funded in the draft 

Long Term Plan – and it may be 

years before it is built. 

Mr Thomas said design solutions 

for that section were being developed, 

but given the narrowness of 

the area “any solution is very complex 

and all options and the associated 

costs need to be explored. “

Serious side to racetrack fun 

• By Ross Kiddie 

DOING SLALOMS in a motor 

vehicle and dodging cones on a 

racetrack sounds like a lot of fun. 

And if you are 16-years-old, 

a learner driver and in your 

father’s ute, it’s even better. 

That’s what Wigram’s Samantha 

Sinclair experienced at the 

Holden Street Smart programme 

held recently at Ruapuna’s Mike 

Pero Motorsport Park. 

However, there is a serious 

side to Holden Street Smart, it 

is a nationwide hands-on programme 

whereby teenagers who 

are learning for their licence can 

be taught essential safety skills 

in a controlled environment, and 

be provided with the confidence 

they need to keep them out of 

trouble on the road when they 

complete stages of the New Zealand 

driver licence. 

Initiated by Holden New 

Zealand, the programme is being 

rolled out around New Zealand 

and is spearheaded by New 

Zealand motorsport legend Greg 

Murphy who is taking an active 

role in each of the events. 

“It was fun, but it was a good 

way to learn about the technology 

in a car and the safety 

features,’’ Samantha said. 

“We learnt different techniques 

and it was cool to be part of the 

fun stuff.’’ Ten different 

elements are 

incorporated into 

the day-long course. 

Some include 

understanding 

braking techniques, 

reaction time and 

safe stopping distances. 

Others 

incorporate an 

understanding 

of 

safe following 

distances 

using 

the 2sec 

rule, 

collision 

avoidance, safe 

overtaking and 

risk management. 

Other exercises 

focus on 

techniques at 

intersections, 

STAYING SAFE: Learner driver Samantha Sinclair, 16, and 

motorsport legend Greg Murphy at Holden’s Street Smart day 

at Ruapuna race track. 

roundabouts and reversing. 

Introducing safer and more competent 

drivers to our roads is the 

major aspect of the programme. 

Samantha said she enjoyed the 

simulation where an unmarked 

police car stopped the vehicle 

she was driving, something 

which could happen any time on 

the road. An officer introduced 

himself and went through a 

standard process – asking for her 

licence and checking warrant of 

fitness and registration details 

before asking her to blow into an 

alcohol breath-testing device. 

“The officer said he would have 

been a bit worried if anyone on 

the course had failed the test,” 

Samantha said 

“The course was pretty good, it 

was all beneficial, and it covered 

all of the tough things that I’m 

likely to face in my licence test.”

Emergency 

plan 

taking shape 

• By Emily O’Connell 

PLANS ARE being put in place 

to prepare Riccarton residents 

for an emergency. 

A group met late last month 

to start creating the Riccarton 

Emergency Response Plan. 

City council head of 

community, governance 

and partnerships Lester 

Wolfreys said the plan aims 

to build community resilience 

by identifying hazards. It 

was initiated as a result of 

community feedback following 

the Kaikoura earthquake and 

tsunami warning. 

He said representatives from 

the city council, Ministry of 

Civil Defence and Emergency 

Management, Canterbury 

Neighbourhood Support and 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board attended the 

meeting last month. 

“It’s intended that this will be 

community-led once up-andrunning. 

It is in the initial stages 

at present,” he said. 

The next meeting on the plan 

will be held later this month and 

is open to anyone interested in 

participating.

Fist full of gold for boxing squad 

SPORTS 

• By Jacob Page 

CANTERBURY titles have 

highlighted a successful 

build-up to June’s South Island 

Golden Gloves tournament for 

Riverside Boxing Gym. 

Four of the five Addingtonbased 

team members came away 

with titles while the fifth was 

a runner-up in a bout many 

considered the fight of the 

tournament, at the Cashmere 

Club. 

The South Island Golden 

Gloves will be held at the same 

venue over Queen’s Birthday 

weekend. 

Jamie Mulligan, Alex Oliver, 

Sonny Teki-Clark and Sophie 

Mullaley all claimed Canterbury 

titles while Thomas Hanford 

won silver after a points defeat to 

New Zealand title-holder Kasib 

Murdoch. 

“To have six wins in seven 

fights certainly exceeded our 

expectations. 

“If you saw our gym, it’s the 

size of two double garages so to 

have this outcome so close to 

South Island Golden Gloves is 

just great for our confidence,” 

coach Matt Neale said. 

Mulligan’s 69kg novice title 

PACKING A PUNCH: The Riverside Boxing Club came back from the Canterbury Championships 

with four titles. From left – Matt Neale, Thomas Hanford, Alex Oliver, Sonny Teki-Clark and Dave 

Mather. 

win was most impressive considering 

he had three fights in one 

day and won them all, one by 

knockout. 

Oliver, who won the 75kg open 

title, had not been in the ring for 

two years but decided to come 

out of retirement after starting 

his own business. 

“(Oliver) was always popping 

his head in every so often and 

then all of a sudden he was hear 

three-to-four times a week,” 

Neale said. 

Mullaley, from Riccarton High 

School, won the junior girls’ 

under-54kg title unopposed. 

Teki-Clarke won the light 

heavyweight under-91kg title 

with a solid win. 

Hanford, from Christchurch 

Boys’ High School, was the 

runner-up in the under-60kg 

class.

More delays 

for Burnside’s 

Aurora Centre 

• By Julia Evans 

UNFORESEEN fire compliance 

issues have again delayed the 

Aurora Performing Arts Centre’s 

reopening. 

Earthquake repairs, 

refurbishment and upgrades have 

been ongoing since January and 

were expected to be completed by 

February to minimise impact on 

Burnside High School students. 

The reopening was delayed 

until March, but it has now been 

revealed the centre won’t open 

until May 11. 

“Due to the complexity of this 

work, plus unforeseen compliance 

issues with new fire regulations, 

the Aurora Centre will not be 

available for school use until the 

beginning of term two,” principal 

Phil Holstein said in a report. 

He said work on the exterior of 

the building would continue until 

November. 

The performing arts centre, on 

the site of Burnside High School, 

has been undergoing weather 

tightness and earthquake damage 

repairs. 

Mr Holstein said while the repair 

work was going on, the school 

was also taking the opportunity 

to spend time doing “necessary” 

upgrades to the centre. 

The school has spent $2 million 

on the upgrades, which include a 

new air-conditioning system and 

refreshing the exterior paint.

10 reasons why

look flakey & rough, often with rosy cheeks. 

Air pollution, toxins & microorganisms 

can penetrated dry skin more easily but the 

U.B. oil acts as a barrier helping protect us. 

Helps keep your skin young & youthful 

with its powerful natural skin regeneration, 

anti-aging & healing properties. Many 

skin blemishes including lines, scars, skin 

pigmentation & age spots can fade over time.

chosen three exceptional oils & carefully 

blended them together in equal proportions

Herbs & natural ingredients 

give powerful support 

for your immune system 

Researchers have shown that certain herbs 

& natural ingredients can dramatically 

reduce your chances of succumbing to colds 

& flu. 

Formulas like GO VIR-DEFENCE has 

been based on the latest research and has 

proved itself to many. 

Because of the high potency extracts 

used in this formula most will find only 

one or two capsule daily sufficient to keep 

the immune system at optimum, however 

at the first sign of any immune attack, e.g. 

headaches, sore throat, aches etc. the dose 

can be increased. Most will then find the 

symptoms will disappear quickly without 

getting worse. 

GO VIR-DEFENCE contains the 

following powerful ingredients: 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Olive Leaf Extract has become one of 

the most popular ingredients used in the 

treatment of immune attacks as it has strong 

anti-microbial properties that help slow the 

growth of bacteria & prevent the replication 

of viruses. 

The formula also contains garlic, 

andrographis, Echinacea, pau d’arco, 

elderberry as well as zinc, vitamin C & 

citrus bioflavonoids all to provide effective 

immune support.

HOME & HEATING 

SOUTHERN VIEW 

Get rid of 

dampness 

in your house 

Now with the colder and wetter weather on 

its way, home owners are focusing on ways 

to make their homes comfortable, warm and 

healthy for their families throughout winter. 

Rising damp is an issue that affects many of 

our older properties which suffer from poor, or 

no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake, 

many people have relocated to homes 

that suffer from rising damp which can be 

associated with health problems. Independent 

tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can 

rise from the ground and enter a house every 

day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation 

and musty smells. Moulds can produce various 

allergic reactions and the frail, elderly and very 

young are especially vulnerable. 

Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd is a 

locally owned and operated firm. The team 

understands the problems caused by rising 

damp and are there to help. They will come 

to your damp home and pump a lightweight, 

flowable foam concrete under your timber 

floored home. Specially adapted for our 

New Zealand conditions and applications 

it provides a layer of protection against 

rising moisture. An unexpected benefit that 

the team at Canterbury Foam Concrete 

have noticed recently, is that many owners 

of properties which had underfloor foam 

concrete installed, reported that it also 

provided protection against liquefaction after 

the earthquakes. 

Contact Canterbury Foam Concrete Ltd 

now for your free, no obligation quote and 

complimentary appraisal of your underfloor 

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or 

0508 362626 for more information. 

Choosing the 

right heat pump 

for your home 

Whether it be a new build, or 

a retrofit, most homes include 

at least one heat pump, if not a 

whole heating solution. They can 

provide cheap, clean heat and are 

much more convenient than a log 

burner as you just need to press 

a button. But how do you decide 

what is best? Choosing the right 

sized heat pump is key to ensuring 

optimum comfort levels. Every 

situation varies and it is therefore 

important to get professional 

advice from heat pump experts. 

The range varies from wall mounted high 

walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems, 

ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted 

central heating systems allowing you to have a 

very discreet way of heating your whole home 

to a constant temperature throughout. 

Firstly, you must select a heat pump that 

is suitable for the size of the space you wish 

to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to 

ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area 

taken into consideration but also, insulation, 

building orientation, windows and ceiling 

space. There are a wide range of heat pumps 

available with different heating outputs so it is 

important to select 

the correct size for 

Heating is a major 

investment in your home 

and it is vital to get the 

right advice. 

your requirements 

that will handle 

the job but not 

be unnecessarily 

overpowered. 

Secondly, the 

location of your 

heat pump is also extremely important. The 

cheapest installation is a back to back where 

the outdoor unit is positioned directly behind 

the indoor unit however this is not necessarily 

always the best option. It is vital that the indoor 

unit is positioned in a place that will not be 

constantly blowing on you. Also important, is 

the location of the outdoor unit. Most people 

do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly 

in their outdoor entertaining area or right 

outside their bedroom window. 

Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands 

have come and gone over the years but there 

are a number of manufacturers who provide 

reputable and reliable products. All brands vary 

in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems 

and price, so it depends on your application as 

to which will be most suitable. Major brands 

such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin, 

Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands 

backed up by good technical after sales service. 

Ensure your heat pump is installed by an 

accredited installer. This will not only ensure 

correct installation of your heat pump, but also 

validate the manufacturers warranty. 

Other things to consider when choosing a 

heat pump are time 

clocks, ease of use of 

the remote controllers, 

air filtration and also 

wifi capabilities.

investment in your 

home and it is vital to

HOME & HEATING 

Fresh air 

in your home 

All houses require air exchange in order 

to stay fresh and dry. No one likes to live 

in a stuffy, smelly, damp home. Indoor air 

quality is important for the health of the 

occupants. Houses can have many sources of 

contaminants, such as bathrooms, kitchens, 

pets, smokers, and even furnishings. Opening 

the windows can refresh the air, but is not 

always an option for security reasons and can 

also lead to heat energy being lost to outside. 

Although older houses have small gaps 

around windows and doors, you want to be 

able to control the flow of air. You don’t want 

air coming in to the bathroom or kitchen and 

pushing the soiled air around the house. It 

is better to expel the air out of kitchens and 

bathrooms to outside. This will draw air in 

from the rest of the house to replace the air that 

has been removed. 

Modern houses are very airtight and 

theoretically require a source of incoming air 

to allow kitchen and bathroom extraction to 

work optimally. Ventilation systems should be 

low air velocity and low air pressure so as not 

to cause draughts. 

There are two main types of ventilation 

system: Positive pressure and Balanced 

pressure. Positive pressure systems, such as the 

Dry-Matic, bring filtered, warmed attic air into 

the house, which then percolates through the 

rooms, pushing the damper stale air out. 

Balanced pressure systems bring in a 

similar amount of air to the amount they 

exhaust. Balanced pressure systems with Heat 

Exchange, such as the HEX390, use the heat 

of the outgoing air to warm the incoming 

air from outside. These are the most energy 

efficient systems available, as they recover up 

to 80% of the energy in the air, rather than 

losing it to outside. Heat exchangers work just 

as well cooling incoming air when the house is 

cooled in summer. 

The NZ building code has recommended 

air exchange rates for houses. To ascertain 

the required airflow for your home, please 

contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH 

(0800 766 684), who will also be able to 

recommend a solution if your ventilation 

doesn’t yet meet the New Zealand standard.
