Sumner lock Tom Manley (tackling) played his 100th game for Sumner on Saturday in a historic day for the club, which also 

celebrated its first top-six win by defeating University 21-14. The 29-year-old made the move to Christchurch from Liverpool, 

England, in 2012 after being contacted by former Sumner coach Scott Robertson. Brought in as an international player while the 

club struggled for numbers after the 2011 earthquakes, Manley was originally only meant to spend six months here. However, he 

felt right at home at the club and after prolonging his stay, has now become the club’s first international to bring up 100 caps.

petition 

gains 

traction 

• By Sarla Donovan 

A PETITION asking Parliament 

to return Redcliffs School to its 

former home has collected 128 

signatures in two weeks. 

Organised by Friends of Redcliffs 

Park, the petition calls for 

urgent legislation enabling the 

school to reopen on its former 

Main Rd site. 

It follows Greater Christchurch 

Regeneration Minister Megan 

Woods’ announcement last 

month she would fast track 

changes to the city’s district plan 

enabling the school’s relocation to 

Redcliffs Park. 

Friends of Redcliffs Park 

spokesman Chris Doudney said 

he expected the petition would 

attract strong support. 

“Our experience is a lot of people 

have been very supportive of the 

idea of not taking Redcliffs Park. 

I think the majority of people in 

Redcliffs and Sumner think it’s a 

mistake; that the (Main Rd) school 

site is the best in the district and the 

school should go back there.

from the editor’s desk 

IT’S A newspaper’s duty to report all sides 

of an issue. 

And that is what Bay Harbour News is 

doing and will continue to do over the issue 

of siting Redcliffs School at Redcliffs Park. 

Our front page article last week on the Friends of Redcliffs 

Park’s petition to Parliament and the school’s farewell and 

blessing, illustrated by the farewell, brought some swift reaction. 

The school board’s response, is on page 8. 

But some connected with the school who called me said they 

didn’t want Bay Harbour News to report on the petition; others 

didn’t want us to ask for reader responses we usually do through 

our Have Your Say prompt. 

That’s something we won’t do. Those people don’t have the only 

viewpoint.

Tank requirement deemed unfair 


PROPERTY OWNERS say a 

requirement to provide water 

tanks for firefighters is onerous 

and unfair. 

Under the Fire and Emergency 

New Zealand code of 

practice, a new house built in an 

area without a reticulated water 

supply must have an additional 

45,000 litres of 

stored water 

available for firefighting 

purposes 

because of being 

on a restricted 

water supply. 

Geoff Ettrick 

David 

Griffiths 

and Peter Reeves, 

property owners 

at Birdlings Flat, 

spoke to the Banks Peninsula 

Community Board about the 

water supply requirements last 

week. 

They said the cost and the 

amount of space taken up by the 

two tanks that were needed, was 

more slanted to a “lifestyle block 

scenario” than houses on an 

urban-sized section. 

Mr Ettrick estimated it would 

take two tanks occupying about 

17 sq m to provide sufficient 

water. 

A 30,000 litre tank retails for 

around $4600 and a 15,000 litre 

for around $3100. 

“The whole thing is just 

bizarre,” Mr Ettrick said. “At the 

end of the day we’re being forced 

to put storage there which is the 

responsibility of the city council 

or the Fire Service.” 

They want a communitywide 

approach to be taken in 

Birdlings Flat, suggesting community 

water tanks would be a 

cheaper, more efficient option. 

A FENZ spokesman said 

the code of practice applied 

wherever territorial authorities 

had adopted it in their district 

plans, but there was room for 

negotiation. 

“The code provides for developers 

and building owners to 

engage with us and territorial 

authorities to determine appropriate 

needs and ensure they 

are met. That means that when 

houses are close enough and the 

terrain permits, water tanks can 

be shared.” 

WATER: 

Property 

owners are 

unhappy 

with the 

requirement 

that a new 

house without 

a reticulated 

water supply 

must have 

an additional 

45,000 litres of 

stored water 

available for 

firefighting. 

City council head of planning 

and strategic transport David 

Griffiths said the measure had 

been introduced in 2015 after 

the New Zealand Fire Service, 

“through consultation under 

stage one of the District Plan 

review” asked that a water 

supply for firefighting rule 

be included for all residential 

zones. 

The board has asked city 

council staff to prepare a report 

on the issue.

In Brief 

PREDATOR-FREE GRANT 

The backyard pest trapping 

project, Predator Free Port Hills, 

has been given a funding boost of 

$45,000 from the Spreydon-Cashmere 

Community Board. The 

project aims to boost the population 

of native birds and wildlife 

by getting the public involved in 

trapping rats, stoats, possums, 

weasels and ferrets. It currently 

has 350 traps in circulation but 

aims to eventually have 4000. 

FIRE BRIGADE FUNDRAISER 

Diamond Harbour’s On the 

Spot store has raised more 

than $2129 for the Diamond 

Harbour Volunteer Fire Brigade. 

The money will go towards the 

purchase of a new support vehicle. 

Store owners James Grant and 

Laura Palmer marked their first 

year of business in the settlement 

with a week of fundraising, 

including a sausage sizzle and 

daily specials.

Awards for volunteers 


TENDING TO the needs of an 

often-overlooked boat crew has 

garnered civic recognition for 

the Lyttelton Seafarers Centre. 

The work of the centre’s 

volunteers was recognised in 

a special ceremony at the city 

council offices on Monday. 

Volunteer recognition awards 

were presented to five groups 

and 27 individuals from across 

the city. 

Having helped more than 

10,000 seafarers in the last 

three years, Seafarers Centre 

volunteers co-manager Jess 

Armstrong said she was “very 

proud” her team of 21 had been 

recognised for their hard work. 

“Without them the seafarers 

would be outside in the middle 

of winter. They provide a 

warm welcome and a place to 

be. Without the volunteers, we 

would not open our doors,” said 

Mrs Armstrong. 

Alongside practical assistance 

with things such as cellphone 

sim cards and phone top-ups, 

they pass on donations of warm 

winter jackets, hats, books and 

food. 

The award was accepted by 

Mrs Armstrong and volunteer

centre with her husband every

Among the individual volunteers 

honoured at Monday’s 

ceremony was Jonathan Welsh, 

who has been associated with 

the Coastguard service since he 

was a teenager. 

The 41-year-old has given 

thousands of hours to train, 

train others, manage and 

govern within Coastguard 

New Zealand as well as being a 

leader of volunteers saving lives 

at sea. 

He joined Coastguard’s 

Sumner Lifeboat Institute in 

1994 and became a rescue vessel 

Master in 2004. 

Ten years later he qualified as 

a Coastguard regional instructor, 

training and assessing volunteers 

from Kaikoura to Bluff. 

In 2016, Mr Welsh was appointed 

to the Coastguard 

Southern Region governing 

board, bringing with him a

perspective. 

Having grown up in Church 

Bay, he has been sailing since 

the age of seven. 

“I’ve always been in and 

around the water, sailing, 

coaching, Coastguard.” 

He also crewed on Larry Ellison’s 

superyacht for a year. 

The Coastguard work is 

something he enjoys.

“It would not take long to

current school committee has 

been forced to toe the Ministry 

(of Education) line,’’ Mr Doudney 

said. 

Redcliffs School Board of

said the terminology “toe the line” 

was derogatory. 

“All the board and wider 

community has ever done is do the 

best we can within the limitations

The petition will remain 

open until July 23 when it 

would be taken to Parliament 

for consideration by a select 

committee, Mr Doudney said. 

The group is also awaiting a

Weight loss challenge 


NATIONAL LIST MP for 

Port Hills Nuk Korako and 

The Good Home Ferrymead 

gastropub owner Andy Laloli 

are going head-to-head on a 

weight loss challenge. 

Both have signed up for 

the Cadence Eight-week 

Transformation Challenge in 

aid of raising funds for the 

Cholmondeley Children’s 

Centre. 

And both have “big” targets 

with Mr Korako looking to shed 

15kg and Mr Laloli keen to lose 

20kg during this time. 

Their efforts are supported 

by the Cadence team and a 

Cadence app which gives all 

challengers direct access to 

a team of experts, including 

nutritionist, mindset guru and 

trainers. 

Mr Korako has a personal 

connection with Cholmondeley 

having spent three months there 

as a 10-year-old. 

“We lost our mum and there 

were nine of us. To get his life 

back together, my dad sent us 

to Cholmondeley. I never forgot 

that. (This is) about giving 

back.” 

And there’s the fitness aspect. 

He quotes a Maori proverb: 

“Tama tu Tama ora, Tama noho 

MAMILS: Nuk Korako and Andy Laloli are on a mission to lose 

weight and raise funds for charity. 

PHOTO: GILBERT WEALLEANS 

Tama mate. An active person 

will remain healthy while a lazy 

one will become sick.” 

For Mr Laloli the hefty goal of 

losing 20kg is all about a lifestyle 

choice. 

Running a busy pub can take 

its toll and with a second child 

on the way the time seemed 

right. 

He says he’s “pretty much” 

a MAMIL (middle-aged man 

in lycra). “But only in the gym. 

You’ll never see that stuff 

outside the fitness room.” 

The two admit to being 

competitive about the challenge 

with Mr Laloli rating his 

chances against the “old dog.” 

“I’m competitively confident.” 

Anyone wanting to make a 

donation to support the cause 

can get in touch with Mr Laloli 

or Mr Korako via Facebook. 

PROUD: Members of the Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade stand 

proudly in front of the upgraded station following its official 

opening on Saturday. 

Akaroa fire station opened 

AKAROA’S upgraded fire station 

was opened by the Minister of 

Internal Affairs Tracey Martin 

on Saturday. 

Work on the seismic strengthening 

and refurbishment started 

in July last year. 

The minister was joined by Fire 

and Emergency board chairman 

Paul Swain, Fire Region commander 

Paul Henderson and 

Christchurch Metro Assistant 

Area Commander Steve Kennedy. 

Ms Martin commended the 

Akaroa Volunteer Fire Brigade 

members’ commitment to their 

communities, and acknowledged 

the increasing complexity of 

their work. 

“As Fire and Emergency we 

are seeing an increase to the 

numbers of medical and rescue 

calls we attend, so it is important 

to make sure we look after each 

other and to make sure we look 

after your families too.” 

As well as the official opening 

the station hosted a public open 

day with 120 people visiting and 

learning about fire safety and 

what is required to be a volunteer. 

Chief fire officer Mark Thomson 

said they had lined up a 

couple of possible new recruits to 

follow up with. 

“It was a great day and a big 

thank you to all involved.”

Redcliffs School 

principal Rose 

McInerney and 

the school board 

of trustees – We 

wish to express our 

disappointment in the 

way that Redcliffs School 

poroporoaki (farewell) was 

connected with a petition, 

which goes against the 

wishes of the school, on 

the front page of your June 

13 issue. 

The event last Thursday 

brought together more 

than 300 members of our 

community, from preschoolers 

to grandparents, 

to celebrate the memories 

we all have of the school. It 

was an emotional day and 

an appropriate farewell. 

All of us pictured out of 

context on your front 

page were extremely 

uncomfortable being 

associated with such an 

inflammatory headline. 

We’ve worked hard to 

keep the emotion, and our 

tamariki, out of the factual 

debate around returning 

our school to Redcliffs. 

We did not make the 

decision to move our 

school to Redcliffs Park, 

but we are supportive 

of it as the only option 

available to us to get our 

school back into Redcliffs 

without further delays. We 

have been positive, open 

and honest throughout 

the long journey to return 

our school to Redcliffs 

and our poroporoaki was 

an important next step 

in this. Your front page 

seriously misrepresented 

this in a manner 

which was extremely 

disrespectful to all of those 

involved and undermined 

this positive next step. 

The petition mentioned 

in your article directly 

contradicts our 

responsibility to return 

our school to our 

community as quickly as 

possible. This goal, and the 

only options available to 

us, have been articulated 

in public forums and 

through your paper 

several times. 

We have continued 

to put in voluntary 

hours within our

level of respect – the first 

we knew of it was through 

your reporter. There 

have been three formal 

consultation opportunities 

for our community to 

have a say in the decision 

making. 

Austin Ebert – I’m 

all for Redcliffs School 

staying in its old site, not 

being built on the Redcliffs 

Park. 

Garry Waterreus 

– Of course Parliament 

should reverse its decision 

and allow the school to 

reopen on its former site. 

Absolutely the right thing 

to do. 

Jim Wilson – 

Parliament should 

reverse the decision 

and allow Redcliffs 

School to reopen on its 

former site. From the very 

beginning, when Hekia 

Parata, then Minister of 

Education, declared the 

site off-limits (and indeed 

tried to close the school 

completely) this affair 

has been an absolute 

disgrace. Experts have 

repeatedly declared the 

site safe, and even in the 

February 2011 quakes, of 

fearsome memory, rocks 

came nowhere near the 

school buildings. Redcliffs 

Park, on the other hand, 

is in danger of repeated 

flooding and tsunamis, 

and possibly also of 

rockfall. To waste money 

on entirely new buildings 

on a dubious site when the 

old buildings on a safe site 

are waiting to be re-used is 

utterly outrageous. 

(Abridged). 

Barrie Walker and 

Jan Lisle – We are for 

the school to remain on 

Main Rd. The new site has 

issues regarding future 

flooding. Don’t move. 

Ron Williams – They 

will be a minority of 

stirrers trying to stop a 

very sensible decision for 

their own benefit. They 

are not caring about 

the future children who 

will use this school. 

Rebuilding on the same 

old site creates a safety 

issue for pupils. It is a very 

busy main road. 

Brian Johnston – 

The proposed site for the 

new Redcliffs School is 

a reserve for a very good 

reason. The reserve is an 

old refuse tip. A rubbish 

dump. It is ‘illegal’ to 

house people over landfill 

or old landfill. 

M Rule – I feel very sad 

for the new principal of 

the Redcliffs School when 

she states: “The petition 

has been organised by a 

small group of neighbours 

who were directly affected 

in the loss of the park.” 

She has absolutely no idea 

what she is talking about. 

It is the locals living here 

who the school will need 

in an emergency, i.e. fire, 

burglary and earthquakes, 

and now is not the time 

for insults. It is the folk 

living around the park 

who with the help of 

local police, provided safe 

houses for the children to 

stay at until their parents 

arrived home from work, 

after practising soccer in 

the park. 

(Abridged). 

Kathy Palmer - The 

current Government 

should reserve the highhanded 

decision of the not 

lamented Hekia Parata 

and subsequent land 

swap decision by the city 

council. The city council 

is vocal about the risk 

of rising sea levels and 

increasing tsunami risk 

due to climate change and 

yet agrees to the building 

of a school right in the 

path of such hazards. Keep 

Redcliffs School on its 

existing site and repair the 

existing buildings.

The Life Insurance Industry honours Kevin O’Gorman 

Kevin O’Gorman 

Kevin O’Gorman has dedicated his life 

to helping families understand and find 

the value of insurance protection and 

investment lifestyle programs. As the 

Managing Director and Principal of CIC 

Financial, a personal family experience in 

his early twenties led Kevin to a profession 

which enabled him to educate and support 

families through their life cycle. 

In September of 1968, just after he turned 

21, he received a letter from his mother 

informing him that she had Muscular 

Dystrophy and only had about 3 months 

to live. She asked if he could come home 

to Christchurch from Sydney, where he 

was living at the time. He returned home 

to Christchurch and in 1968 entered the 

Insurance business. 

His mother passed away in January of 

1969. Soon afterwards his father had a 

stroke and was incapacitated. He died a 

few years later. Subsequently, Kevin and his 

wife Robyn had four children and the value 

of Life Insurance became relevant in their 

lives. While insurance can never replace a 

mother or a father or any loved one, having 

that support removes some of the financial 

strain. 

Kevin is renowned in the industry, 

having spent more than 50 years bringing 

reassurance to so many. He has offered 

guidance when choosing life insurance, 

programs for retirement, wealth creation, 

family security and other cashflow choices. 

He specialises in Insurance, 

Superannuation, KiwiSaver and Annuities 

(Life Income). During his 50 years in the 

industry he has been a member of the 

CIC Financial offices in the old historic Christchurch Railways Hall at 

98 Carlyle St, Sydenham 

Life Brokers Association and a member 

of the Insurance Investment Advisers’ 

Association. He was President of the Life 

Underwriters Association from 1989-1990 

and the Life Brokers Association in 2009. 

Kevin is the recipient of three Pinnacle 

Awards, presented for outstanding service 

to the Industry and he has been a life and 

qualifying member of the Million Dollar 

Round Table, where he qualified for “The 

Top of The Table” International Award. 

He has been the President or Board 

Member of numerous organisations 

including Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic 

Parish, Marist Albion Rugby Club and 

a member of the Board of Trustees for 

Marian College. 

Kevin has been applauded for his 

commitment to the industry and for his 

selfless dedication to insurance education 

of his clients. His high standards are a 

cornerstone of the industry as he presents 

outstanding personal qualities, unstinting 

loyalty to the profession, and exemplary 

leadership. 

In his spare time he is a keen sportsman,

“Robyn, Kevin’s wife, has been an integral 

part of the success of CIC Financial. 

Filling many roles, she has made sure 

that the administration and support 

services have run smoothly, to provide 

outstanding customer service” “As Kevin 

moves towards retirement, his son-inlaw,

“Even though I’m the one with 50 years,” 

O’Gorman said with a smile. “I appreciate

Community wants 

to protect 

medical centre land 


THE DIAMOND Harbour 

community wants to protect the 

future of their medical centre by 

owning the land it is built upon. 

The centre was constructed on 

city council land in 1991 with 

$25,000 of community 

funds and a low rate 

mortgage from the city 

council, which has since 

been repaid. 

The city council leases 

out the land at a “peppercorn” 

rental and the 

building houses a busy 

medical practice. 

Former chairwoman 

and current secretary of 

the group Mahony May 

said in 2015 the land had been 

put on a list of city council assets 

to be sold off. 

It was later removed from the 

list, but future security remains 

a priority given the expanding 

population in the settlement. 

“Our worry is that might 

happen again. We want to get 

a guaranteed tenure,” said Ms 

May. 

Ms May last week told the 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board the group wanted to acquire 

the land. 

Board member Felix Dawson 

said there was “no question” the 

medical centre provided a great 

service to the community. 

“We need to ensure the place 

has security. It’s a nobrainer,” 

Mr Dawson 

said. 

Ms May said the 

advantage to the city 

council was it kept 

people in the area 

because they had a 

good medical service 

and district nursing so 

people stayed longer. 

The land had a 

commercial value but 

wasn’t really suited to residential 

development, because the entrance 

is through a community 

centre car park, Ms May said. 

“The best thing for us would 

be just gifting and no money 

exchanged. If there was some inbetween 

arrangement we would 

certainly be wanting to consider 

it but we don’t want to be stung 

with a very, very large bill.” 

The board asked city council 

staff to prepare a report on the 

issue.

Tennis coach returns

IT WILL be a homecoming

lend a helping hand 

A MASSIVE clean-up of the Lyttelton Anglican Cemetery 

has left it looking a lot smarter. Ten team members 

from Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead spent hours weeding, 

cutting, pruning and mowing as part of a community 

initiative called Helping Hands. Launched to mark the 

10th Anniversary of Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead, the store 

is selecting 10 applicants whom staff will help with their 

project. They can be from individual and/or community 

groups and have a project that can be completed 

within 10 hours with the help of 10 team members. 

The Canterbury St cemetery was the first project to 

receive help. It’s where the graveyard scenes from Peter 

Jackson’s The Frighteners were filmed and has become 

overgrown in recent years. Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead 

spokeswoman Leah Knauf said the team from the store’s 

garden centre worked from 8am through to almost 

6pm at the cemetery. “It was a mammoth task, but 

we got there and did as much as we could,” she said. 

“It was cold to begin with but once we got under way 

it was fine. Everyone was hypedup about the whole 

project beforehand and by the time we got to the end 

everyone was just ecstatic with the amount of work we 

actually did. We could see the improvement we’d made.” 

Ms Knauf said people were welcome to apply in store 

or email marketing.ferrymead@mitre10.co.nz to 

become part of the Helping Hands initiative. 

Mitre 10 MEGA Ferrymead was supported by Kiwicare 

which provided moss and weed killer and the city 

council which helped with disposal of the weeds.

From All 

Black to 

Probation 

Officer 

If you want a career that makes 

a difference, come and join us at 

Corrections. 

AProbation Officer is key to supporting 

offenders in achieving change, guiding 

them to succeed and not come back into 

the system. 

This involves meeting with offenders regularly, 

either at community corrections sites or the 

offender’s residence to help them meet the 

requirements of their sentence and have the 

support they need to do so. Probation Officers 

also prepare reports and recommendations for 

the courts and the New Zealand Parole Board. 

Probation Officers motivate and encourage 

offenders to make positive changes in their 

lives, and this often means working closely with 

friends, family/whanau, programme facilitators 

and community work supervisors as well as 

other agencies such as Work and Income, 

the Salvation Army and Child, Youth and 

Family. Probation Officers will make referrals to 

programmes that may assist offenders with an 

issue or problem specific to their offending type, 

or that may have contributed to their offending. 

Paul says that in his Corrections role he 

likes the way he can help influence and instill 

a positive change in offender’s behaviors, 

helping them succeed, from completing their 

Community Work hours to gaining employment. 

“It’s taking the time to get to know each 

person on a personal level, relate to them, 

and understand the difficulties they may be 

facing. Once you gain the rapport and respect, 

it becomes easier to guide them through their 

sentence and other issues that may be going on 

in their life.” 

“I talk to offenders about the importance 

of integrity. This means we always strive for 

doing the right thing – even when nobody is 

MEET PAUL 

Paul Miller, Probation Officer 

It’s fair to say the day hard-running Southland 

No 8 Paul Miller was dropped from the All 

Blacks was the day the foundations for his 

career beyond rugby were laid. 

Miller got just two games in the black jersey 

before being axed. But he believes the 2001 

experience is one that helped prepare him for 

the job he finds himself in today – a Probation 

Officer with Corrections in Dunedin working to 

rehabilitate young offenders. 

“In rugby I had a lot of adversity,” he says. 

“There were injuries and setbacks (like not being 

picked again for the All Blacks) but I learnt to 

get back up. These things give you strength and 

resilience and it’s what I try to help young people 

with today.” 

watching. Integrity plays a big part in my role, 

and offenders’ success in maintaining a crime 

free life.” 

In his role, Paul is part of the Youth Champions 

team in Dunedin and says he would like to 

see more of the young men he works with, 

reconnect with sport. 

“Many of these young people live quite 

chaotic lives. They have the best intentions and 

ambitions but unfortunately they struggle to 

maintain their good intentions and reach their 

goal. That’s where I found the fundamental 

elements associated with being involved 

It was a hard lesson for Miller, his playing career 

over Miller was faced with the question of what 

to do next. He initially got a job at his old high 

school, King’s High School in Dunedin, as a 

sports co-ordinator before noticing vacancies for 

probation officers during an internet search. 

“I try to help them develop 

resilience and integrity, 

things I learnt from my 

playing days. I tell them I 

got knocked down, I had 

injuries, I had failures, but 

the important thing is to 

get back up.” 

Miller, who has been in the job for just over 

a year, helps to rehabilitate young people 

aged between 17 and 24 many of whom 

have completed prison sentences or who are 

undertaking community work. 

“Most have had trouble because of alcohol and 

substance abuse and my role is to help them 

plug the gaps and get back on the right track,” 

he says. “It’s definitely rewarding and for me it’s 

about the small things like helping a someone 

prepare for a job interview.” 

with sport helped. Discussing and planning 

toward an outcome, taking small steps to help 

them navigate their journey to an offence free

Corrections team which manages around 1,000 

offenders on sentence in the community at any 

time.

fe l short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected 

Christchurch architec the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little 

Port Hi l site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley. 

Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bough them and 

employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living a the time, to 

prepare the construction drawings and specifications. Compared to 

Australia, the R values for insulation would have looked high. Our 

talented young builder, Sam McCarthy, would never have queried 

the levels because they were standard practice around town. So it 

wasn’t until we were living in the house and I consulted Council’s 

eco design advisor Julie Vi lard about how we could warm it up that 

we discovered, while we unwittingly thought we had exceeded New 

Zealand standard, we had merely met Code. And that ain’t going to 

cut it in our climate. 

Fortunately Julie had plenty of ideas on how we could improve 

the situation and we have easy access to our underfloor to top-up 

the insulation. Julie Vi lard, an architect from France, is on a mission 

to transform building best practice here and you can read abou the 

groundbreaking ideas she’s applied to her own brand new build on 

page 20. 

I’ve shared the highs and lows of building with the other home 

builders and renovators I interviewed and, like Diane (page 36), would 

relish doing it again. I was struck by how a l the home owner said 

what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to 

“rea ly listen” to their wants and needs. I was also impressed by how 

much Christchurch people love a good garage! We’ve got some ideas 

for some top of their class cars to complement yours on page 81 and 

how to quickly establish a lawn on page 72. 

We review a l the lates trends in everyone’s favourite room – 

the kitchen (page 48), and share an easy yet impressive recipe for 

entertaining friends in your fabulous new home on page 77. 

I hope Peter Beaven would be pleased with how the cool, calm, 

collected one and I realised his dream. Go chase yours people! 

Gaynor 

Speaking to the NZ Institute of Architects about ‘bespoke 

architecture’ being a ‘minority pursuit’ not long before his death 

Peter said “I am going to try to prove that it’s possible to build 

modestly and cheaply with a little house for ourselves. It’s going to 

be sustainable and it’s going to be beautiful and it’s going to be just 

cheap – no more than an ordinary spec house. I’ l prove that it can 

be done, and it might be the las thing I prove.”
