The Square: Is this the future?
Mixed
reaction
to bold
new plan
• By Bridget Rutherford
PROMINENT Cantabrians
have given a mixed response to
the possible futuristic look of
Cathedral Square.
Plans for wha the Square
could look like were released
by Regenerate Christchurch
yesterday after seven years of
debate and controversy over the
slow progress of the rebuild.
It includes three covered
pavilions, which would have
a “la tice-style” translucent
roof, which could host markets
and other events.
The long-term vision, which is
estimated to cost between $60-
$80 mi lion, aims to bring people
back into the area, through a
series of interconnected public
spaces.
The vision for the Square also
includes Cathedral Gardens
with trees and water features,
Post Office Place with events
and meeting spaces, and Library
Plaza with other people-friendly
Former mayor Garry Moore
said the plan was “bri liant”
while developer Ernest Duval
was not fussed by the pavilions.
The next step is for a delivery
strategy to be developed with the
city council and stakeholders to
determine what could be done,
when, and what funding would

​Law student
accused of
sex assault
will travel
overseas
• By Sophie Cornish
A CANTERBURY University law
student being investigated for a
sexual assault has been allowed to
go overseas on a study-related trip.
But the university’s dean of
law Ursula Cheer is refusing to
discuss the matter.
“I can’t comment
about any
of this because
of confidentiality
and privacy,” she
told The Star
yesterday.
The Star has
learned a female
student has laid
Ursula Cheer
a complaint about the accused
being allowed to go on the trip.
It is understood it is not the
same person who has laid the
sexual assault complaint to the
police.
The Star has been told it is a
rape investigation.
The Star sent a number of questions
to Canterbury University
yesterday but none would be answered.
Said Canterbury University
spokeswoman Margaret Agnew:
“UC cannot respond to allegations
that are before the police.”
She referred the questions
back to Dr Cheer. Her phone was
turned off.
Police would also not comment
on the matter.
The overseas trip involves
both male and female law students.

Are you being spied on in Scarborough?
• By Sarla Donovan
• By Julia Evans
MORE THAN 100 people
have failed to save the longest
running experimental theatre
in the country from becoming
homeless.
Free Theatre Christchurch
has been forced out of its lease
at The Gym in the Arts Centre,
which it has used since 2014,
after failing to secure financial
viability.

leave. The group
has been part
of the Arts Centre community
since 1982.
“It talks about being a space to
support arts, culture and education.
We do all that, it doesn’t
make sense,” she said.
Arts Centre acting chief executive
Jane Parfitt said the free
theatre trust had not been able
to meet its commitments to the
Arts Centre for some time.
Ms Parfitt said she would not
release the details of private
tenancy agreements.
But said the Arts Centre has
SCARBOROUGH residents
are worried they’re being spied
on by drones.
Lucy Broadhurst, who lives
halfway up Scarborough Hill,
was sitting with her partner in
the bay window of their house
about 10pm on Monday night
when they spotted a red light
hovering about 20m away.
They initially thought it was
a vehicle’s tail light but recognised
it as a drone when it
started moving up and down.
Ms Broadhurst reacted by
pulling the finger, “which
supported free theatre’s return
to the city through providing
“favourable terms” on the lease,
but it was no longer sustainable.
But the group did not give up
without a fight, sending an open
letter to Ms Parfitt on Tuesday,
made whoever (was) controlling
the drone immediately
take it down,” she said.
“It felt really creepy that
somebody was looking into
our living room. Our conclusion
was it’s someone being
nosy or, it seems a bit drastic,
but scouting for stealing
things.”
Ms Broadhurst reported
the incident to police the following
morning after telling a
which attracted more than 100
signatures.
It received a response from
the Arts Centre yesterday, Ms
McCurdy said. However, she
said the response confirmed its
lease was terminated and it had

Lyttelton Police Station
supervisor Sergeant Franco
Lovrich said they would be
very keen to hear from anyone
with information about the
owner of the drone, or any
drones spotted at night.
It is illegal to use a drone
outside daylight hours without
special permission, or to film
a person or their private property
without their permission.

to leave.
The two groups had been
investigating alternatives for
several months, trying to find
a solution in a partnership
arrangement.
“No agreement was reached
and therefore the lease has been
ended,” Ms Parfitt said.
Ms McCurdy said the Arts
Centre had hiked the price of
the space to $415 a day, which
was unfeasible.
She would not say what the
previous lease cost.
“We’ve been given 20 working
days to clear out our fit out,
lights, sound, curtains . . . so
we’ve got to be out by Monday.
We’ve spent almost every day
since in there clearing it out,”
she said.
The group had asked the Arts
Centre to extend that, but was
denied.
She said the group hadn’t been
given a definitive answer about
why rent is going up and why it
has to leave.
“We understand absolutely
that they’re trying to find $35
million for the restoration, but
we were bringing people in,
so we don’t understand,” Ms
McCurdy said. A replacement
tenant for The Gym has not been
found.

investigation

In February, Dr Cheer wrote a
letter on behalf of all university

Auckland law firm Russell

she accused the firm of putting

misleading university authorities.
Dr Cheer called the culture,

The Star : Supreme winner at big media
THE STAR has again been
the big winner at the NZ
Community Newspapers
Association Awards.
Many of the country’s newspapers,
magazines and websites,
from paid dailies to free community
titles, entered the prestigious
annual awards which were held
in Rotorua on Friday night.
The Star was judged best
all-round newspaper and was
also named the supreme winner
across all categories – newspapers,
websites and magazines –
for the second year in a row.
Said judge Jim Tully: “It may
no longer be a daily but The
Star continues a tradition of
hard-hitting reporting notable
for pacy, direct, tight writing.
The bold layout complements the
punchy style.”
Staff at Star Media, publisher
of The Star, its website star.kiwi
and magazine Kiwi Gardener
were also recognised.
Emily O’Connell was the
winner of the best junior news
journalist category for her work
on The Star and Western News.
Her portfolio included coverage

Julia Evans was runner-up in
the category for articles in The
Star and Nor’West News, while
Sarla Donovan received special
mention for her work on The
Star, Pegasus Post and Bay Harbour
News.
Bridget Rutherford won the
best feature/lifestyle journalist.
Judge Stuart Howie said her
article on a World War 2 veteran
was a “ripping yarn, while she
shows she is equally capable of
turning her talents to a political
feature and other human interest
areas.”
Martin Hunter was best
feature/lifestyle photographer,
his photo during the under-17
national cricket tournament at
Lincoln earning special praise.
He was also runner-up in the
best news photographer section.
Gordon Findlater was runnerup
in the senior sports reporter
category.
Kiwi Gardener was best
all-round lifestyle magazine for
the second year in a row.
Said Tully, who also judged this
category: “This quality magazine
impresses at every level. The
content is authoritative, informative
and helpful, the visuals are
excellent and the overall design is
clan and competent.”
Kiwi Gardener was also
runner-up in the best front page
category.
star.kiwi was runner-up in the

Katy Hurley, who was parking

was a “great idea” because the

THE CLOCK TOWER WINS SUPREME
HERITAGE AWARD
A sold-out ceremony, held at the Isaac
Theatre Royal on Friday 15 June, saw
the Clock Tower Block at the Arts
Centre of Christchurch take home the
Supreme Award. Dr Anna Crighton,
Chair of the 2018 Box 112 Canterbury
Heritage Awards, remarked that the
Clock Tower’s restoration was one of
great significance, truly portraying
the importance and value of the
undertaking of such projects in our
region.
Right Hon. Jacinda Adern was
unable to attend the ceremony
this year, but made sure her
acknowledgment of the importance
of such ceremonies was known.
“My warmest congratulations to the
award winners, the finalists, and all
those who have submitted entries.
Your commitment to the restoration
and future-proofing of the region’s
precious heritage will leave a lasting
legacy.”
ACT NOW
If you are insured with State, NZI or any
IAG policy, you have until 30 June 2018
before they can use the Limitation Act to
decline your earthquake claim.
“The Clock Tower provides an
admirable example of preserving
the past and providing for the future,
the level of commitment shown by
the Arts Centre of Christchurch is
commendable and has left us with
a phenomenal structure worth
shouting about!”
The evening saw many other
heritage champions take home
rewards. The Heritage Hotel, Old
Government Building, took top spot
in the tourism category with judges
stating that “its survival is testament
to the quality of the original design
and construction with its restoration
acting as a symbol of resurgence
after the disasters.”

Boost for accommodation sector
• By Julia Evans
MOTEL, HOTEL, backpacker
and holiday park beds are
filling up as the region’s
accommodation sector takes
strides in earthquake recovery.
In March,
the region saw
a boost of more
than 21 per
cent in its guest
night rate, according
to the
latest Statistics
New Zealand
Caroline
Blanchfield
report.
“Canterbury
recorded the
largest increase in guest nights
up 71,000,” it said. The second
highest region was Rotorua with
an increase of 14.29 per cent.
The report said guest nights
were boosted by an early Easter
weekend.
In particular, Christchurch
city filled 328,334 of the 407,574
beds.
ChristchurchNZ manager of
destination management Caroline
Blanchfield said it is “great
news” for the accommodation
sector.
Ms Blanchfield said a major
factor in has been the airport’s
move to increase international
air capacity in the city.
“An increase of direct flights to
Christchurch means that we are
now more connected with the
rest of the world,” she said.
But Randolph motel owner
Peter Mason said there was still a
long road to recovery.
“Having direct flights from Air
China to Christchurch airport
since December helped,” Mr
Mason said.
However, he said a lot of tourists
spend one night in the city
and then move on to other South
Island towns.
“We’re just not getting the
facilities to get the tourists in and
it really is frustrating,” he said.
Mr Mason said while the
development in the Convention
Centre was good news, the lack
of action on a stadium and in
Cathedral Square was holding
tourist numbers back.
“If I’d known what I know

now, how slow the rebuild would
be, I would have left,” he said.
Ms Blanchfield said having
more major and business events
also boosted the visitor numbers.
“This has resulted in the
increased length of stay outside
of peak tourism periods. The
Golden Oldies was a great event
that helped boost visitor numbers
and accommodation statistics.”

The number of rooms in all
accommodation is over 6000,
which equates to 78 per cent of

said.
Ms Blanchfield said there are

What the tourists are saying
Frantisek Hezina
spent two weeks
in a hostel in the
central city.
The Czech
Republic national
said he had been
travelling around
New Zealand for
almost a year and
Christchurch was
his last stop.
But Mr Hezina said it was “not
really exciting.”
“I went to the central city four or
five times, but it just looks like an
American city to me,” he said.
Mr Hezina said he had travelled to
Alexandra, Queenstown and Timaru,
which he enjoyed more.
Helen Findlay
has been visiting
Christchurch for
the last 50 years
from her home in
rural Victoria.
The Australian
said she spent
four days in
Canterbury, and
most of that
time was spent
on Banks Peninsula and North
Canterbury.
“We went up to Cheviot and Gore
Bay as well as over to Lyttelton in
the fog,” she said.
Mrs Findlay said she was
impressed with the way things are
moving in the central city.
Wei Kit Ng and Sherly Lee didn’t
stay in city for more than a few hours
after their plane landed.
Mr Ng said they weren’t really
interested in Christchurch following
the earthquakes and didn’t know
much about the city.
Instead they just used the airport
to travel to and from home in
Malaysia.
“We were only in transit, we didn’t
want to stay in Christchurch the
night and immediately left and went
to Mt Cook,” he said.
They had half a day to kill before
their bus left so they visited the
Botanic Gardens.
“But it’s winter, so the garden
wasn’t very nice.”
Mr Ng said instead of staying in the
city, they wanted to go sightseeing
in the rest of the South Island. The
pair spent most of their two-week
holiday in Queenstown and Wanaka.
“It was very, very nice,” he said.
Mr Ng said maybe next time
they would spend more time in
Christchurch, but not in winter.
Matthew Carden said
he used Christchurch as
a “stopping point” on his
two-week bus trip around
the South Island.
He was heading back to
the Gold Coast but had
spent three days at either
end of his holiday in the
city.
“I did want to see the city
and I didn’t know what to
expect. Quite frankly I was stunned,
it really reminded me of
Hiroshima.”
But Mr Carden said he
wished he’d allowed more
time in Christchurch.
“It really should promote
itself more to get people to
come, stay for a while and
see the rebuild,” he said.
Though he did say he
wished something would be
done with the Christ Church
Cathedral.

Who would you like to see run for mayor
in next year’s local body elections? Email
bridget.rutherford@starmedia.kiwi
Could Wagner be our next
The next local body elections are less
than 18 months away. If Lianne Dalziel
decides not to stand again, who
might run? Could MP Nicky Wagner
be a contender? Reporter Bridget
Rutherford takes a look
AS THE race for the 2016
local body elections heated up,
incumbent mayor Lianne Dalziel
indicated this term would be her
last.
But 18 months in, she has not
yet decided whether to seek a
third term in next October’s local
body elections.
For now, her focus has been
on finalising the city council’s
Long Term Plan.
“I have previously said
that once the LTP is
approved at the end
of June I will turn my
attention to whether
I will be seeking another
term as mayor,”
she said.
And until she makes
that decision, the race is at a
stalemate.
None currently sitting around
the council table will want to
stand against her, or at least
admit to it. Their decisions will
hinge on what she does.
Since 2013 Ms Dalziel has successfully
steered the city council
ship settling the potentially
catastrophic earthquake insurance
payout, getting the books in
order and this term opening several
new community facilities.
But it hasn’t been without
struggle.
Before the 2016 election, she
said the job had been mentally
exhausting. Ms Dalziel said the
most disappointing thing so far
this term was losing the water
supply’s secure status.
“The sooner we get chlorine
out of the water, the better.”
Ms Dalziel regained the
position in October 2016 by
a landslide against rival John
Minto. Mr Minto told The Star
he’s not keen to try again next
time.
“But never say never,” he said.
Rumour has it National List
MP Nicky Wagner, who lost her
Christchurch Central seat to
former lawyer Duncan Webb
by a comfortable 2265 majority
last year, is making plays in the
RUMOUR:
Nicky
Wagner is
said to be
making
plays to
become
the next
mayor.
background to become the next
mayor.
And why wouldn’t she? With
a history in local governance for
Environment Canterbury, at No.
39 on National’s list, she is staring
down the barrel of another
two years in the opposition.
But Ms Wagner was coy when
The Star asked of her intentions,
though she admitted it had
“cropped up.”
“A lot of people have been
talking about it. Some people are
lobbying me, but at the moment
I’m very happy with what I’m
doing.”
If Ms Dalziel decides not
to seek re-election, Deputy
Mayor Andrew Turner has been
primed.
In spite of previously having
only one term under his belt, he’s
shown he can stand up to the
challenge when taking the
seat to fill when Ms Dalziel
is away.
He is caucus leader for
left-leaning political
group The People’s
Choice, which has
seven city councillors
sitting around
the table.
Only one
mayoral candidate
from the
group can be
nominated.
“A lot of what
I decide to do
depends on what
Lianne decides to
do,” Cr Turner said.
“If Lianne has
decided to run I couldn’t
envisage a situation where
I would run against her.”
But he said if Ms Dalziel did
not run, he would, provided
he was selected by The People’s
Choice to do so.
Cr Turner said ultimately
the city needed “continuity.”
“A good outcome in the
2019 election will be one
that allows for progress and
momentum and certainty
rather than something that
slows things down with big
change.”
One of the longest standing
city councillors Glenn Livingstone,
who was first elected in
2010 said he was keen on another
term as city councillor, but not
mayor at this stage.
“I’m part of The People’s
Lianne
Dalziel
Yani
Johanson
Andrew
Turner
Jamie
Gough
Choice group so any selection
over that is up to that group.”
He said currently his priorities
were with his family, and east
Christchurch.
“As far as mayor goes, that’s
not something I would be seeking
at this point in time.
“I think Andrew [Turner] is
very capable, very sharp, he’s on
top of the issues and across the
detail. If there was a vacancy and
Andrew put his name forward,
I’d support him.”
But he said if The People’s Choice
group did nominate him for its
mayoral candidate, he would be
“open to that conversation”.
Other The People’s Choice
candidates could be Crs Pauline
Cotter, Yani Johanson, Phil
Clearwater, Jimmy Chen and
Anne Galloway – but there can
only be one.
Outspoken city councillor
Jamie Gough said he wasn’t ruling
anything out.
He said he’s got the luxury of
time to have a think about his
three options – call time and
return to the private sector, run
for mayor, or stand for a fourth
term as councillor.
Other experienced city councillors
don’t seem to be keen on
the top job.

mayor?
Fourth term city councillor
Yani Johanson said he would restand
for Linwood, but “definitely
not” for mayor.
“Having a young family, you
just see how bigger job it is. It’s
really demanding. My priority is
with my family and trying to be a
good local councillor.”
When asked if she was keen
on trying for a fourth term as
mayor, city councillor Vicki Buck
responded quickly: “No. That’s a
really easy question.”
The former mayor and deputy
mayor said she also hadn’t thought
about whether she would seek
another term as city councillor.
Any questions about who could
become mayor would be “totally
hypothetical,” she said.
Another former mayor, Garry
Moore, who served for three
terms, is also out of the race.
“What part of no don’t you
understand,” he said with a
chuckle.
“I’ll give you a very definitive no.”
As for second term city
councillor David East, he had no
aspirations to stand for the job,
but there was more to tick off his
councillor “bucket list.”
City councillor Aaron Keown
will stand again for Harewood,
but not for mayor. He’s already
done that, but with a young
family, the negativity was “just
not worth it.”
Cr Keown, who was a city
councillor from 2010-2013, said
this term had been a lot easier.
“There’s just not the pressure
of the post-disaster environment
and there were a lot of power
plays going on.”
But he said any city councillor
standing would have a tough time
running against a candidate from
The People’s Choice.
“Running against them could
be pretty hard work.”
First time city councillor Deon
Swiggs, who is not afraid to speak
his mind, will seek another term
as councillor.
“I have no intention to stand for
mayor.”

Moore

Buck

Meanwhile, city councillor
Sara Templeton, who has debated
strongly in her first term, said she
was enjoying being a councillor
and would have another crack at
that.
“I’m hoping that Lianne will
stand again for mayor.”
Central City Business
Association manager and former
city councillor Paul Lonsdale,
who stood against Ms Dalziel in
2013, said he was not keen to try
again.
Mr Lonsdale, whose seat was
taken by Cr Templeton in 2016,
said the next mayor needed
to put a major push on key
infrastructure to bring people
back, such as the multi-purpose
arena and the Lyttelton cruise
ship berth.
“Christchurch needs a vision,
and someone to deliver that vision.”
What the LTP buys
• By Julia Evans
A FAST-TRACKED stadium,
extra money for fixing roads and
the water supply, plus so much
more.
The financial lolly scramble is
about to end as the city council
begins finalising its 10-year
Long Term Plan tomorrow.
The biggest investment, a new
stadium, is likely to have its
$253 million funding brought
forward by two years
from 2023 to 2021.
“The message we received
from submitters
was that Christchurch
needs a fit-for-purpose
stadium that can attract
major sporting fixtures,
events and visitors to
our city,’’ Mayor Lianne
Dalziel said.
She said without a
world-class facility, the city will
continue to miss out on events
like the recent Ed Sheeran
concert and upcoming Kendrick
Lamar concert in Dunedin.
The city council will work
with Government officials on
a business case for the stadium
and its form, size and function.
But one message has been very
clear from supporters, it should
have a roof.
Ms Dalziel said the city
council will be investigating
“potential funders” who benefit
Lianne
Dalziel
economically and socially from
the stadium.
During LTP submissions,
city councillor Vicki Buck
directly questioned whether the
Canterbury Rugby Union would
contribute to the cost. Chief executive
Nathan Godfrey said no.
Other LTP recommendations
include an increase to the
infrastructure budget, bringing
forward $25 million to fix the
city’s water supply, allocating
an extra $16.8
million for improving
roads and footpaths and
an extra $48 million for
improving the wastewater
network.
“We heard very clearly
from the community that
people want roads and
footpaths repaired faster
so we’ve made changes
that allow us to repair
those in the worst condition
sooner,” Ms Dalziel said.
Further funding has been included
for a range of community
initiatives such as Thompson
Park, Linwood Pool, Edgeware
Pool and additional opening
hours for Matuku Takotako:
Sumner Centre.
It continues the Landmark
Heritage Grant for three years,
fast-tracks sections of the Quarryman’s
Trail and Nor’West Arc
cycleways and extends the onehour
free parking in the central

new stadium

Plan. ​
city car parking buildings until
the end of January.
Ms Dalziel has also requested
the development forum develop
a work programme to maintain
momentum in the CBD and to
bring forward funding for the
Robert McDougall Art Gallery,
Old Municipal Chambers and
Coronation Hall.
The free swims for green
prescription holders and preschoolers
at city council pools
during school hours will also
continue.
The Isaac Theatre Royal could
be granted an additional five
years to pay off its $2 million
loan. While ChristchurchNZ is
set to benefit from an additional
$1.26 million annually for three
years.
To fund this work, the city
council has proposed a rates
increase by 5.5 per cent in the
coming financial year (plus
$6.52 per property for the special
heritage Cathedral grant).
This is about $2.80 more a
week for a home with the average
RV of $500,000.
“There is a slight increase in
the following two years due to
bringing forward the new stadium,
after which rates’ increases
track downwards slightly faster
than proposed in the draft LTP
to settle at a level in line with
local Government inflation,” Ms
Dalziel said.

Medical app
to benefit
patients
A LITTLE bit like Snapchat and
a little bit like mobile banking
– doctors have a new way to
communicate.
It’s called Celo, a safe-snapping
app that allows medical staff to
confer or safely share photos so that
they can obtain a second opinion
when they are in a hurry.
A Canterbury District Health
Board report said: “Celo behaves
more like a mobile banking app,
where nothing is stored on the
device and nobody can access information
without the user’s unique
PIN code.”
Christchurch Hospital paediatrician
John Garrett said the app is
invaluable for his work
“I go to the Chatham Islands
twice a year to see paediatric patients
over there. One of my patients
was also a patient in the plastic
surgery service here.”
The patient’s mother mentioned
they were planning a trip to
Christchurch, but instead Dr Garrett
was able to take a picture of the
scar, send it straight to the plastic
surgeon.
The surgeon was able to communicate
back that the scar looked fine
and a trip was not necessary.

CATTLE disease mycoplasma
bovis could affect major A&P
shows this season.
The Canterbury A&P Association,
which runs the New
Zealand Agricultural Show,
will meet this week to discuss
if it should continue running
cattle classes in this year’s programme.
It comes as the Ellesmere
A&P Show in Leeston, in
October, has dropped cattle to
prevent the risk of spreading
mycoplasma bovis any further.
The association intends to
continue running its cattle
section but has invited stud
breeders to meet to get feedback
before confirming its plans to
keep cattle in the show.

Tim Black told The Star

have three options on the day –
the board could either accept the
hearings panel recommendation,
refer it back to the panel or
it can decide not to accept the
panel’s advice, a source said.
Discussions with lawyers were
“fairly common” prior to hearing
panel decisions and one of
the lawyers will be present at the
July meeting, the source said.
The meeting will be held at Te

The city council received
more than 1450 submissions

park, surpassing the number
of submissions it received for
the reinstatement of the Christ
Church Cathedral.

Global look at city’s water
Dalziel
determined to
resolve issue
• By Julia Evans
THE CITY council has set its
sights globally in its bid to fix
the city’s water supply.
A report has been commissioned
by experts in water
supply chlorination in the Netherlands,
with a draft report
already in council possession.
“The council
is looking to
learn from
international
examples of
metropolitan
water supplies,
from secure
Helen
Beaumont
groundwater
sources,
without
chlorination,”
water supply improvements
programme manager Helen
Beaumont said.
“The focus was on the Netherlands,
where 85 per cent of water
supplies are supplied without
residual chlorine treatment.”
The city council is refusing to
release the report publicly until
it is finalised.
“Until the final report is
received we are unable to release
the full costs,” Ms Beaumont
said.
But she said it was quoted at
$12,500 plus GST.
“This fee covered a report that
examined comparable overseas
metropolitan sites.”
The advice was from global
professional services company
GHD and Royal Haskoning-
Buffet
THE
is

Indulge in a feast for
all your senses amid the
resplendent surroundings of
The Grand Café’s Buffet.
DHV, an international consultancy
with experience with
unchlorinated water supplies in
Europe.
It comes as a report to
councillors last week revealed
a 40-fold increase in the cost
of making the city’s drinking
water safe.
Initially $800,000 was budgeted
to improve the wellheads,
but it is now expected to cost
$35 million to fix 49 pump stations
around the city.
A 12-month, $5 million plan
to repair seven pump stations
has been confirmed. However,
the other 42 pump stations are
still being investigated.
Options include raising well
heads, UV and ozone treatment,
replacing wells or cutting some
off entirely.
But Mayor Lianne Dalziel said
she remains “determined” the
issue will be resolved within 12
months. Chlorinating the water
for more than 12 months would
require a second vote from city
councillors.
It was discovered in December
that the city’s wellheads were
not secure, councillors approved
chlorinating the water in
January. Chlorination began on
March 26.
Ms Dalziel said she would
“fight tooth and nail” to have
unchlorinated water.
Though Ms Beaumont said
while that was still the target, it
was a “challenge.”
“To help us move towards the
goal of removing temporary
chlorination, the work programme
for the pump stations
will be prioritised and a water
conservation campaign initiated
to keep demand closer to winter
levels, which are about half the
peak summer demand,” she said.

Killing weeds
by using
steam on trial
• By Bridget Rutherford
STEAM FROM boiling water
is being trialled to kill weeds on
pavements in a bid to further
reduce the use of the weed killer
glyphosate.
The city council has started trialling
using the steam in the eastern
suburbs. While the method had
been killing the weeds, the city
council was still in the early stages
of analysing the benefits.
City council transport operations
manager Steffan Thomas
said it was part of an ongoing
commitment to reduce the use of
glyphosate, commonly known as
Roundup.
In 2016, the city council decided
to stop using glyphosate in its
parks and reserves after the International
Agency for Research
on Cancer last year classified
it as “probably carcinogenic to
humans.”
The city council then started
using an organic weed killer for its
parks and reserves.
Mr Thomas said contractors
continued to use the organic
weed killer in parks and reserves,
but had been trialling the steam
method on pavements for a couple
of months.

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

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
lifestyle.”
Paul is part of the Otago District Community
Corrections team which manages around 1,000
offenders on sentence in the community at any
time.
“The diversity of the people you work with
makes every day different. I love a challenge
and with this role, every day is different. It’s a
privilege to be involved with Corrections and
part of the Corrections team.”

Rubble decision soon
• By Bridget Rutherford
THE FAMILIES of those killed
in the collapsed CTV and PGC
buildings will be consulted
about what to do with the
rubble.
It has been lying at the
Burwood Resource Recovery
Park since the February 22,
2011, earthquake.
“Police still holds the CTV
and PGC rubble, however,
we expect to release it to the
Christchurch City Council in
the coming months,” a police
spokeswoman said.
The Crown, through the
Ministry of Civil Defence and
Emergency Management, will
ultimately make the decision on
the material’s future and bear
any costs related to it.
A MCDEM spokeswoman
said it was too early to say what
would happen to the material.
“We will work closely with
Christchurch City Council
throughout the decision-making
process. Any considerations
will also involve consultation
with the bereaved families and
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu. The
council has agreed to lead such
consultation.”
Both buildings collapsed in
the February 22, 2011, magnitude
6.3 earthquake.
One-hundred-and-fifteen
people were killed in the CTV
collapse, while 18 died in the
PGC building.

After a three-year
investigation, police announced
in November they would not
pursue criminal charges for the
CTV building’s collapse because
the evidence was “not sufficient
to provide a reasonable
prospect of conviction in
court.”
Some of the families of those
killed in the collapse were devastated
and vowed to fight the
decision.
Maan Alkaisi, whose wife
Maysoon Abbas died in the
tragedy, said it was important
critical elements of the building
were kept for any future police
investigations or for memorial
purposes.
“For us the case is not closed.
We will make sure they will not
dispose of the critical elements
of this building because it might
still be useful for any future
investigation.”
He said some of the families
of those killed were still fighting
for justice.
“This story will only end when
justice is done.”
A 2012 Royal commission of
Inquiry found the CTV Building
had serious design flaws and
should not have been granted a
building consent.
A Royal Commission of
Inquiry into the PGC building
found its outdated structure
made its susceptible to collapse

More retirement
villages in
planning stages
• By Bridget Rutherford
SUMMERSET HAS applied for
consent to start developing its third
Christchurch retirement village.
It has lodged its consent with the
city council to start earthworks and
build on the 9.5ha Hawthornden
Rd site in Avonhead.
The retirement village operator
bought the land last year.
It would have 267 apartments
and villas, 43 rest home and hospital
care beds, a main building, and
landscaping.
There would be rest-home, hospital
and dementia care, along with
a new memory centre that would
offer the resident a one-bedroom
apartment, rather than a single
room.
It will join Summerset’s other
villages in Wigram and Casebrook,
which is currently being built.
Meanwhile, Alpine View Lifestyle
Village has been granted consent to
build a new retirement village on
Prestons Rd near the intersection
with Hills Rd.
Broadwater Retirement Village,
which would be close to Alpine
View Lifestyle Village, would
have about 200 residential units,
comprising of five different housing
types.

A CON man who tells his
intended victims he will harm
their families if they don’t pay up
may face a bigger problem than
the law – gangs.
Police have received 19 complaints
from Christchurch people
targeted by the sinister scam. It
involves phone
calls and texts to
victims who are
told the caller is
from the Mongrel
Mob, Highway 61
or Black Power.
Pay up or your
family members, Greg
including elderly Newbold
parents, will be
attacked, the caller says.
But it appears the con man is
not connected to the gangs, just
using their names to put fear into
the intended victims.
Canterbury University criminologist
Greg Newbold said yesterday
the gangs would be “filthy”.
“All I can say is he’s got a death
wish,” he said.
“They will be absolutely p***ed
off. Anybody who impersonates
a gang member is committing a
serious crime against the gang.”
Prof Newbold said the perpetrator
could get a “hiding” for that
alone.

New transport routes about to be implemented
• By Julia Evans
THE PLAN for the future of
Christchurch’s transport system
is being rubber-stamped.
Environment Canterbury
has two hefty reports on its
table during its meeting today,
including the Regional Land
Transport Plan.
It plan sets out the investment
priorities for Canterbury and
the programme of transport
related projects until 2025.
“Priority one is focused on
looking after what we have,” the
plan said.
That includes making the
existing transport service “fitfor-purpose”
and earmarks $145
million for the public transport
system.
During the meeting, councillors
will also approved ECan’s
Long Term Plan.
The plan included a
controversial proposal to
cut six bus routes to plug
a $4 million shortfall. But
due to overwhelming public
outcry, alternative routes were
proposed.
The new proposal saves
the 107 Styx Mill and 145
Westmorland, but their routes
will change and go into the
CBD.
A service from Prestons to
QE II would be made of a combination
of the 135 Burwood
Hospital and 150 The Palms
routes. The new service would
not go to New Brighton.
The 108 route will be absorbed
into an extended version
of the 28 Papanui to Lyttelton
service.
The 535 Rapaki route would
still be cut. However, the 28
route would also extend to
service Rapaki three times
in the morning and evening
respectively.
Changes to the routes would
roll out next month.
ECan prepares for democracy
• By Julia Evans
ENVIRONMENT Canterbury
is finalising its representation
as its makes it way back to full
democracy.
However, there will not be any
dedicated Maori seat in next
October’s election.
The election
will mark 10
years since the
former National
Government
got rid of
ECan councillors
in 2009,
including now
Jo Kane
Minister of
Conservation
Eugene Sage and Canterbury
District Health Board member
Jo Kane.
At its meeting today, a staff report
will recommend two councillors
be voted in to represent
new Christchurch north, west,
central and south wards.
While North Canterbury and
Mid-Canterbury are set to have
two representatives each and
South Canterbury will have one,
making it a 13 table council.
It is the same amount of
members as the 2016 election,
however, six were commissioners
appointed by the Government.
The North Christchurch ward
shares the same boundaries as
the Burwood, Coastal, Papanui
and Innes city council wards.
West Christchurch breaks
down into the Harewood, Waimairi,
Hornby and Halswell wards.
Central includes Fendalton,
Riccarton, Central and Linwood
wards. While south includes
Cashmere, Heathcote, Spreydon
and Banks Peninsula.
The North Canterbury boundary
aligns with Kaikoura, Hurunui
and Waimakariri districts.
Mid-Canterbury is made
up of Selwyn and Ashburton.
And the one South Canterbury
representative is bound by the
Timaru, Mackenzie, Waimate
and the Canterbury part of Waitaki
districts.
Since 2011 ECan has had two
Ngāi Tahu and staff investigated
the possibility of having a dedicated
Māori seat for the election.
However, it was concluded that
applying the Local Electoral Act
for Māori representation would
result in a representative that
may not be Ngāi Tahu.
“This is because any eligible
elector can stand as a candidate
in a Māori constituency and
therefore Ngāi Tahu – mana
whenua in Canterbury – would
not be guaranteed to be represented
at the council table,” a
staff report said.
Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu

heard in council, but it did not

need a dedicated seat.
“We endorse the current
arrangements that provide for
that voice, and we look forward
to working with councillors to
explore other options for the
future,” it said.
An ECan spokeswoman said
the council has agreed to work
with Ngāi Tahu to seek further
discussion with Government on
how to continue with the current
Māori representation model.
The proposal will have to be
approved by the Local Government
Commission after public
consultation and ECan approves
the final representation in September.
School site
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. It would not take
long to reoccupy,’’ Mr Doudney
said.
The petition will remain open
until July 23 when it would be
taken to Parliament for consideration
by a select committee, Mr
Doudney said.

Spoilt brats and stubborn parents
Evan
Smith of
the Avon-
Otakaro
Network
talks about
the fading plan for a
lake in the red zone
THE STOUSH between
Regenerate Christchurch
and East Lake Trust over the
exclusion of a 2km lake in plans
for the red zone’s future has been
perceived as a stand-off between
stubborn parents and spoilt
brats.
But there is a lot at stake – the
future of flatwater sports in the
Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor
and the credibility and integrity
of the regeneration planning
process.
While previously supporting
the East Lake proposal,
Avon-Ōtākaro Network no
longer does so and endorses
Regenerate Christchurch’s
decision to exclude it.
But we continue to advocate
for maximum provision for
flatwater sports within the red
zone, subject to feasibility.
For the past seven years we
have promoted the future of
the red zone as a multi-purpose
river park that meets diverse
community needs – including
for flatwater sports. Over those
years we have collaborated with
flatwater sports clubs and Sport
CUT: The out-of-river East Lake proposal was not one of the options shortlisted by
Regenerate Christchurch. ​
Canterbury in running several
festivals and regattas.
We were the first to suggest a
2km off-river lake in Dallington,
running from Kerrs Reach
up into the Horseshoe Lake
red zone, and putting the
bend back into the river at
Wainoni to accommodate this
(as the schematic posted on
EVO::SPACE in 2014 shows).
We were aware of some
of the disadvantages of this
arrangement – the poor
orientation to the prevailing
wind and the severing of New
Brighton Rd, a major arterial
linking the coast with the city.
We explored options for
bridging the lake but the span
required was prohibitive. But we
pursued the idea of the off-river
lake, even for a period attending
East Lake Trust meetings as a
community observer.
However, we also came to
understand the significance of
Horseshoe Lake/Waikākāriki
in providing drainage for a
significant area of north-west
Christchurch, and the enormous
value of the Horseshoe Lake
red zone to intercept that
stormwater, pass it through
wetlands and clean it before
discharging into Horseshoe
Lake. If we are serious about
cleaning up the river, it seemed
to us we had to prioritise
Horseshoe Lake red zone for this
purpose, so we weren’t surprised
when Regenerate Christchurch
came to the same conclusion.
Also, for those of us keen to
see regeneration of the east,
slapping a wall of water across
a primary access route from the
city to the coast represents a
giant judder bar in the way.
The business case for a 2km
lake that meets international
rowing standards is very weak.
Even local rowing clubs concede
that opportunities for East Lake
to attract international-level
competition are sparse and
would take value from other
South Island facilities – there is
no net gain to the South Island.
On the other hand, a 1km
course, which could be in-river,
meets the needs of all other
flatwater codes.
There are other options to
meet the needs of flatwater
sports in the OARC – all
have advantages and
disadvantages. These options
can’t meet all needs, but they
can meet many.
There is no doubt that current
provision for flatwater sports
on the Avon is inadequate and
needs huge improvement.
Working out the best way to
achieve this requires all parties
to have a reasoned discussion
about the true needs for all
codes. It also requires clear
articulation of the constraints
– economic, environmental,
cultural, and social – to reach
consensus on the best solution.
However, such a rational
discussion requires a willingness
by all parties to jointly seek a
resolution that is a win-win
for flatwater sports and for the
integrity of the regeneration
planning process.
Otherwise, single-minded
pursuit of an all-or-nothing
option will be at the expense of
flatwater sports and regeneration
of the east. Christchurch will
be just another dysfunctional
family more interested in
making a scene than any sense.

number of people killed in crashes on Christchurch roads.

A reader responds to the city
council developing a new ‘helpful
and positive’ image
Gary Knight – The hallmark of
success of any city council agency is the
ability of its staff to engage in friendly,
informative, unbiased and meaningful
communication, both
verbal and written. Also,
it needs to be visually
appealing, both
internally and in the
areas it promotes. Many
people have encountered
negativity, such as
unfriendly and unhelpful
personas from some
city council staff, and
experienced unyielding
situations during collaboration with them
over many years. Within this context,
accolades are extended to the city council
for its proposed colour palette, branding,
signage, tone of voice campaign and
training. This new image brand is a
positive and pro-active step to promote
better liaison between a civic authority
and its constituents over a myriad of often
complex issues. It also bears testimony to
the integrity of those having engineered
what are overdue ideals.
Readers respond to the
development of a plan to reduce
the number of crashes and
fatalities on Christchurch roads
Lynda Byrnes – How can you not be
a red light-runner when there’s no turning
arrow at intersections like Brougham
St? You can’t get around unless you wait
for the through traffic to stop on the red
light. It’s a no-brainer that we need more
turning arrows.
Nicholas Smeaton – They can
start by activating the turning arrow
from Papanui Rd into Bealey Ave. There
is clearly a right turning arrow installed
in that set of lights but it never activates
leading to a queue of very frustrated
motorists.
Andrea Lamont – Investigate
what? Look at the statistics. Twice as
many accidents since the earthquake.
The reason being the road rules and
Christchurch road management are on
two different levels. There is no such thing
as give way to your right, especially on
roundabouts and when people are coming
at you from the left. For those at a turning
arrow, you sit until the lights
turn red before you can turn
while the other lights are
green. This only allows two
cars to get through.
Sarah Spencer Smith –
All along Memorial Ave there
are no right turn arrows.
Only way to turn right is on
the red. You’re lucky to get
through at all before you
are back on a red stop light stuck in the
middle of an intersection.

wedding dress online
Katie Kendon – I bought my dress

and it was perfect. Of course the bridal
stores are going to say you have to buy it
from them.
Janys Rebecca Harrison – If and
when it ever happens, I’ll be making my
own wedding dress.
Carla Mdm – A dress from $1500?
Ha, that was my entire union budget.

Footprints Podiatry are your footcare
experts. Their team of podiatrists have
decades of experience behind them to
identify your ailment and recommend
the best possible solution.
Do you experience foot or lower leg
pain or any of the following conditions?
Achilles tendinitis, Heel spurs, Plantar
Fasciitis, Jumpers knee, Patella tendonopathy
and Tibial Stress Syndrome
(shin splints). Footprints Podiatry can
help.
One of their successful remedies is
Shockwave therapy which was originally
used to break down kidney
stones. Doctors found the results to
accelerate the tissue-healing response
in an area. This lead to the transition
of shockwave therapy to musculoskeletal
conditions.
Shockwave therapy uses little impulses
produced by air pressure that
is directed toward the affected tissue.
They are audible, low energy sound
waves, which work by increasing blood
flow to the injured
area. This initiates an
inflammation-like response
in the injured
tissue, accelerating
the body’s healing
process by increasing
cell regeneration.
When applied at
the site of the pain,
shockwaves produce
an analgesic effect
which increases
blood circulation and
facilitates the repair
process.
Benefits of Shockwave
therapy:
1. Pain reduction – by changing the

way).
2. Increased tissue healing – radial
shock wave causes the release of chemicals
in the cells, which can reduce
inflammation and pain.
3. Improved blood flow – repeated
shock waves create new blood flow
promoting tissue healing and regeneration.
4. Reduced muscle tone – shock waves
act on trigger points. These are the
painful tender spots in muscle, which
often generate pain and dysfunction.
5. Hyperstimulation of nerve endings
leading to immediate pain reduction.
Shockwave therapy is generally well
tolerated and may
be uncomfortable
but not painful, this
sensation will stop as
soon as the treatment
has ended. Side
effects can include:
redness, slight swelling,
and discomfort
over the treatment
area.
Treatment takes
approximately 15
minutes and the
shockwaves are
mechanical and not

Building tips from the home owners plus expert home design advice
OUT NOW: Grab your free copy of 2018 Home & Leisure
magazine, with expert home design advice. ​
We all want warm, healthy homes that don’t cost a fortune to heat. Home & Leisure’s
Gaynor Stanley looks at three ways to achieve that
1. Up the insulation
What they tell us on the telly is
true. The fundamental step to a
warm home is how well insulated
it is. Otherwise, it’s like trying to
boil water in a sieve.
Our tip is, if you are building
new, exceed the building code
R-values for your wall, ceiling and
floor insulation. These may sound
adequate but Canterbury has
cold winters and the more well
insulated from the elements your
home is, the warmer it will be.
If you’re in an older house and
have underfloor access – whack
some insulation in. Your home
structure will draw the cold air
from the ground so stopping it
getting in is crucial.
Often older homes have old
fibreglass Batts in the ceiling
– think about one of the (nonitchy)
new polyester or wool
products to augment or replace
them. It’s harder to add wall insulation
to an existing home, but
entirely possible and desirable if
you’re renovating. Remember:
Even tiny gaps matter – make
sure your measurements and
insulation fit is precise.
2. Eliminate damp air
A closed-up house is prone to
condensation and dampness –
that’s neither healthy nor wise.
Damp air takes more energy to
heat, so dry it out before you turn
on the heating.
When the days are fine, open
some windows to dry out the
bathroom and kitchen and air
your bedrooms. Hang your
washing outside on the line,
rather than using a drier or draping
it around the living room.
Supplement a heat pump with
a heat dispersal system. If you
have high ceilings, install ceiling
fans to disperse the hot air in
summer and push it back down
to seating height in winter.
If you can’t install a ceiling
fan in the bathroom, consider
a shower dome to contain the
steam – or open the window to
let out the moisture once you’re
warm and dry. Similarly, in the
kitchen, install a rangehood to
capture and extract steam – or at
least put your pot lids on.
3. Research your heat pump
Many homeowners quickly decide
a heat pump is best for their
home without really looking into
how they work.
For instance, experts say the
best place for your heat pump is
not high on the wall, but at floor
level, because – yes folks – hot air
still rises.
It’s important to realise most of
the models sold in New Zealand
were designed as air conditioners
– to cool air down, rather
than heat it. Set it to your desired
temperature – which is recommended
to be 21-22 deg C – and
let the unit get there in the most
efficient fashion. After all, if we’re
cooking do we put the oven on
to 250 deg C to warm it up to 180
deg C?
Ever been in a home and
noticed the living room is baking
hot while the bedrooms and
bathroom are pretty nippy still?
One popular solution is a heat
distribution system designed to
share the significant levels of heat
generated – eliminating the need
for additional heaters in smaller
rooms.

Rekindle moves
into the Arts Centre
A social enterprise that transforms
under-valued resources to reduce
waste and runs workshops will
move into the Arts Centre today.
Rekindle will be based there for six
months under the Life in Vacant
Spaces scheme.
The tenancy gives Rekindle the
opportunity to re-establish its
Resourceful Skills workshops and
bring back craft to the Arts Centre
and central city.
Rekindle’s relationship with the
Arts Centre began last year when it
commissioned a communal table
and benches for the Boys’ High
building. The table was installed
in February and was made using
ash logs sourced from Hagley Park,
gifted by the city council.
It will be using its new home to
offer greater access to its evening
and weekend resourceful skills
workshops which include lessons
on traditional spoon carving, basket
weaving, peg making, stool making
and more.
Rekindle director Juliet Arnott
said they were delighted to move to
the Arts Centre and they hoped to
provide opportunities for people to
become involved in craft.
Yoga with a side of beer
Have you been wanting to give yoga a
go but haven’t got round to it? Maybe
combining it with beer will sweeten
the deal. Dux Central and 2 Bare
Yogies are hosting Beer Yoga on June
30 so people can experience both at
the same time. Apparently the joy of
drinking beer and the mindfulness
of yoga complement each other. The
class is $30 and includes beer and a
one hour vinyasa class. Those attending
need to bring their own mat.
Ale festival coming
to the Square
Mark this one in your diaries folks.
The fourth annual winter ale festival
will be held in Cathedral Square
on July 7 from 3pm. Fifteen craft
breweries will be there with their
ales, alongside food, live music and
pop up entertainment throughout
the night. Adam McGrath, Assembly
Required, Flat City Brotherhood and
Diego Hariswara make up the music
line up. There will also be Japanese
drummers, fire performers and more.
Tickets are available at Dash Tickets.
The secret is out. Mugen is a popular
lunch spot.
The Moorhouse Ave sushi restaurant
was busy on Friday as I ventured to
find a fresh option for lunch.
It has a huge variety of sushi — more
than 30 to be exact — along with
donburi and noodle dishes off
the menu.
I had to restrain myself. I tend to
get a bit greedy at a pick your own
restaurant, especially when the
options are this good.
But that’s the beauty of a place like
this, because you can have as much
as you like in relation to how much
you want to spend.
I opted for the takoyaki, salmon and
avocado sushi, a mini tuna poke bowl,
and teriyaki salmon, katsu chicken,
and unagi nigiri, along with a juice.
The fresh teriyaki salmon and unagi
nigiri were the best of a good bunch.
In my view, Mugen is the best sushi
place in Christchurch and with two
locations, Moorhouse Ave and High
St, it’s a great lunch option.

GREAT food
BROUGHT TO YOU BY...
Your fresh food people
KUMARA CORNED BEEF

1/2 onion, diced
1/4 cup corned silverside juice,
use more if needed
1-1/2 cups of diced corned beef
silverside
1/4 tsp paprika
Eggs if desired
Directions
Cut and peel 2 cups of white
diced potatoes and 2 cups of
kumara. Rinse the potatoes well
then add to a large pot of water.
Add 1 tsp of salt to the water
and boil on high for 15min until
potatoes are just cooked. Drain
and set aside.
In a large frying pan add butter
and melt on medium heat then
add 3 tablespoons of corned
beef juice; add 1/2 onion diced
and diced corned beef. Simmer
on low for 5min. Add potato
mixture and paprika to the pan.
Bump the heat up to high and
cook for 5min (keeping the
potato mixture on top). Mix the
potatoes with the meat and flip
over.
Smash down with a spatula and
cook for an additional 5min. Add
the remaining one tablespoon

butter if needed. Cook for 5min
more (the hash should be crispy
but not burnt). Serve with or
without a fried egg on top.
ITALIAN BEEF WITH
PESTO
Ingredients
500ml tamari sauce
1.2-1.5kg beef porterhouse steak
250ml cider vinegar
1 red chilli, moderately hot
12 garlic cloves, peeled
¼ cup mustard, seed style
½ tsp salt
½ tsp cracked black pepper
350ml olive oil
3 courgettes, diced
½ cup silverbeet, or chard, about
400g, shredded finely, stems and
all, and washed well
2 beetroot, medium-sized, raw,
peeled and finely diced
Pesto
10 garlic cloves, peeled
3 cups fresh basil, leaves, loosely
packed
1 cup fresh mint, leaves, loosely
packed
1 cup flat leaf (Italian) parsley,
leaves, roughly chopped
500ml olive oil
1 cup parmesan cheese, finely
grated
1 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
to golden brown in a dry pan,
and left to cool
Directions
Marinate the beef for at least
two days before you eat this
dish. Put the tamari, the first
amount of cider vinegar, the
chilli and six cloves of the garlic
into a blender and puree to a
fine consistency for 30sec.
Lay the fillets in a long dish,
just large enough to hold it, and
pour the marinade over it, cover
with cling film and place in the
fridge. Every 12 hours, turn the
beef over to expose all of it to
the marinade. It can be left to
marinate for up to a week.
Just before you cook the beef,
take it out of the marinade
and drain well, then dry with
a clean cloth. Leave to sit until
you’re ready to cook it. Put
the remaining garlic, the seed
mustard, the second amount of
cider vinegar, salt, pepper and
olive oil into a food processor,
purée for 30sec and pour into
a large bowl. Bring a large pot
of salted water to the boil, add
the chard and stir well. After
30sec add the courgettes and
stir, and after 1min drain it all
through a colander, (the chard
and courgettes can be steamed if
you prefer).
Tip the hot vegetables into the
bowl with the garlic dressing
and stir well, add the beetroot
and stir that in, then leave the
bowl in a warm place.
For the pesto, put the garlic,
herbs, olive oil and pine nuts
in a food processor and purée
to a coarse paste, but be careful
not to overwork it. Turn into
a mixing bowl and stir in the
parmesan. Stir in a little more
olive oil to get the consistency
you want. Set aside. Heat up a
grilling skillet or grill to a high
heat.
Lightly oil the fillets and, for
the best flavour, grill for no
more than 2min on each side.
As it’s marinated the beef won’t
need a lot of cooking, but of
course if you like your meat well
done, then cook it so. Serve the
grilled beef on top of the warm
chard salad and dollop the pesto
on top.

QUESTION
I have a large planter box that doesn’t have
soil from the garden, only bags of mix/mulch.
Could you advise me on the specifi c nutrients
I’d need to add to the mix/mulch to keep it at
its best? I grow vegetables in it and didn’t
have a good crop this summer. Thank you.
Today’s winning question came
from Sue Dwan. Congratulations!
ANSWER
In general, it is advisable
to empty, clean
thoroughly (if it’s not too
large), and ensure drainage holes are
adequate before fi lling your planter box with new container mix in early spring. This is because plants growing in
containers and raised beds do not have access to the same amount of soil nutrients that plants growing in
your garden do. Replace old soil with fresh container mix and apply side dressings of fertiliser throughout the
growing period. Try Daltons Garden Time Vegetable Mix or Daltons Garden Time Planting Mix.
Alternatively, you can purchase Daltons Premium Garden Mix in bulk from your local Bunnings store.
Container mixes have been developed specifi cally for growing vegetables and fl owers in containers. It allows
for free drainage while retaining suffi cient nutrients for the development of healthy veggies. It also takes the
guess factor out of developing your own growing medium where it can often be quite diffi cult to discern what
nutrients are available in your soil and in what amount.
If you are eager to begin the process, you can certainly empty the planter box and clean it very thoroughly anytime
during the winter. If you wish to grow summer salad vegetables however, it would be better to leave planting until at
least late September or early October. It is also worthwhile adding a layer of mulch on top
to protect the soil and keep moisture from evaporating.
Complimentary products to try: Daltons Garden Time Vegetable Fertiliser.

Guides at www.daltons.co.nz/how-to-guides
IT’S NOT too early to be
thinking about your spring
garden, especially your herb
garden, but be wary of frosts.
There’s really no comparison
between the flavour of fresh and
dried herbs. And though most
supermarkets now sell the fresh
plants, it’s often cheaper and
more convenient to grow your
own.
It’s a good idea to plant herbs
close to the kitchen — the further
away they are, the less likely
you are to pick them, especially
in rainy weather.
Most of the cooking herbs like
a warm place in the sun, though
mint will grow in a damp shady
spot. If you don’t have much
space, stick to those herbs you
know you’ll use in cooking.
Consider growing them
in pots, or plant herbs in the
flower garden — most are quite
decorative.
Fresh coriander is an important
ingredient in many Thai
and Indian dishes and now’s the
time for planting the seeds of
this annual herb.
Coriander plants are taprooted
and don’t transplant well,
so sow seeds where you want
the plants to grow and thin out
when necessary.
The seeds are slow to
germinate, so don’t give up on
them too soon. Plants bought
ready-grown from the garden
centre tend to quickly run to
seed.
Don’t try substituting ground
coriander seeds for the fresh
leaves as the flavours are quite
different.
Some varieties of chives die
down in the winter, while others
stay green the whole year
through.
If rust is a problem, cut the
June/July are the best months to plant, relocate and prune roses (once
dormant). Choose a spot in the garden with plenty of sun, that is not
crowded by other plants or trees, as good air fl ow reduces the risk of
rose pests and diseases. Feed with Daltons Premium Rose Fertiliser
for strong, healthy blooms.

clumps back and wait for fresh
rust-free growth. If that doesn’t
work, it may be best to plant
some new bulbs in a different
spot.
Clumps need to be divided
and replanted every few years
in any case or the chives get
overcrowded and loose their
vigour.
Parsley comes in two forms –
the curly-leaved variety and flat
or broad-leaved parsley, often
known as Italian parsley. The
latter is currently more trendy
but at a pinch you can usually
substitute one for the other.

ELECTRIC vehicles are
the big talking point at the
moment, and as battery
technology advances and
motorists realise that
electric cars are here to
stay, that part of the market
will go gangbusters before
long.
However, we shouldn’t
forget the conventional
hybrid, the petrol/electric
models, those which
contributed largely to the
way we see electric cars
today.
Toyota was almost singlehandedly
responsible for
kick-starting the hybrid
revolution, and today the
company has a wealth of
hybrid offerings that have
been willingly accepted by
buyers globally.
Toyota’s Prius was the
one of the first out of the
blocks and it epitomises
all things hybrid, and
Toyota has extended that
technology through a wide
range of product including
Lexus.
One of the first Lexus
hybrid models here was
the CT200h, an affordable
five-door liftback, it has
just had a makeover
which makes it even more
desirable. Most of the
changes are minor and are
cosmetic, but they blend
well with the improvement
process Lexus has across
its range. They enhance
the quality feel and look of
the CT200h, and it must
be said it is a car which
sits in the prestige market
encompassing all of the
elements which made
Lexus a standout luxury car
builder.
The CT200h lands here
in just two variations. It is
priced at $51,690, while
an extra $11,000 will get
you into leather through
F Sport specification. The
test car was the latter and,
while it is very much Priuslike
in the way it drives
mechanically, it is still a
car which offers a sporty
sensation along with the
fuel-saving and emissioncaring
attributes you would
expect from any hybrid.
The CT200h isn’t a large
car, at just over 4.3m it is
compact, yet its five-door
body style lends itself well
to those who don’t often
have the need for a full
five-seater.
There are five seats in
the CT200h, but there
isn’t a huge amount of
space rearwards. That
aside, those who do travel
Motoring
Ross Kiddie
LEXUS CT200h: Quality feel.
in the CT200h will be
comfortable, the seat
shapes are cosseting and
true of the Lexus spirit,
ride quality is superb.
Saying that, in F Sport
specification there is
definite firming within the
sport tuned suspension so
that its handling is biased
more towards dynamic, but
there is enough compliance
so that bumps and ruts
aren’t transmitted into the
in-cabin area, uneven road
surfaces are absorbed by
the fully independent front
strut/rear double wishbone
system.
Up front sits a 1.8-litre,
twin-camshaft engine, it is
pretty much the standard
hybrid system which sits in
a host of Toyota and Lexus
models. Power is rated at
73kW with an extra 27kW
available through electric
delivery. But where the
performance benefits arrive
is from the extra torque
electric power generates –
40Nm on top of 142Nm.
The CT200h feels
energetic when all elements
are combining to form
acceleration. It will reach
100km/h from a standstill
in just under 10sec and
will lunge through a
highway overtake in
6.8sec. While these figures
don’t represent a fast car,
they are misleading; the
CT200h feels crisp, and if

On the subject of
figures, Lexus also claim
a 4.1-litre per 100km
(69mpg) combined
cycle fuel usage average
for the CT200h, which
wasn’t that far distant to
the 5.2l/100km (54mpg)
figure on display in the
test car’s comprehensive
trip computer readouts,
and if you add in the
driver-controlled threemode
drive system – sport,
normal or economy – the
CT200h can be driven
easily to coincide with
driving conditions,
gleaning maximum
economy or performance
as the driver deems
appropriate.
Personally, I preferred
normal mode, you can still
extract mid-range boost
as required without the
engine being too lively,
taking into account that
the drive system is biased
towards electric power
being the chosen mode of
drive.
On that subject, power
is transferred through
a continuously variable
automatic transmission,
there are no special
skills needed to drive the
CT200h, it is intuitive and
user-friendly. I particularly
enjoyed my time with it.
One of my work
colleagues also shares my
enthusiasm. He searched
for a very long time before
buying a pre-owned car.
His choice wasn’t a CT200h
but that was a car that was
high on his wish list. He
liked the dynamics of the
model and its concept.
His decision not to buy
one was based solely on
affordability, and although
the CT200h is a bargain
luxury car, the preowned
hybrid market still
demands good coin.

Living the life in quake city
Englishman’s
rugby move
pays off
• By Gordon Findlater
SIX YEARS ago Tom Manley
was at home in Liverpool,
England, unemployed after
giving up on a pro-rugby career.
He was job hunting after
leaving university when his
phone rang – it was Scott
Robertson.
“He said get over here and play
for Sumner. We’ll get you a job
and find you a place to stay,” said
Manley.
At the time, The loose forward/lock
didn’t even know
Robertson’s
history as an

was the Sumner
coach.

Scott

premier rugby
competition
during
Sumner’s 21-14 win over University
on Saturday. Not a bad effort
after what was originally meant
to be a six-month stay.
Manley – now a sales rep for
McVicar ITM – was aware that
Christchurch had experienced a
deadly earthquake a year earlier
when he made the decision to
come down under. But it wasn’t
until he flew into the city that he
became fully aware of what he

had got himself into.
“What gave me such a surprise
was that it still looked like a bit
of a war zone. I thought with it
being a developed country, they
would have cleaned it up a bit in
12 months,” said Manley.
“The first place I was put up
in was on Mt Pleasant. It was
boarded up and didn’t have a
working shower.”
It was a good thing Manley
had a membership at the Eastside
Barbell gym on St Asaph
St, which worked equally as a
means of hygiene and conditioning.
Manley’s impression of
Christchurch quickly changed
after moving into an all-Sumner
rugby flat on Colenso St. It was
then that he made up his mind
to stay put in Christchurch.
“The decision to stay was a
lifestyle one. I don’t understand
the Kiwis that move to London
. . . why would you want to leave
what you have here, living by
the beach with really laid-back
people?” said Manley.
He was quickly introduced to
the beach by Robertson during

his first season, with stand-up
paddle-boarding sessions a
regular Sunday occurrence.
Since arriving in 2012,
Manley has seen Sumner go
from struggling newbie in the
premier competition to a top six
contender.
“There was a real emphasis
on the social side of the game in
the early days. We had limited
success on the field, but huge
successes off it,” said Manley.
“It’s gone from being more
about the off-season to almost
professional. The coaching staff
we’ve got now is nothing like I’ve
had before.”
For Manley, 100 may not be
the last milestone. He and his
partner, who he met through a
former teammate at Sumner, are
settled in Christchurch and have
a six-month old daughter.
Approaching 30, he says he is
committed to getting the most
out of his playing days while
he still can and has even set a
goal heading into the 2019 club
season.
“My goal for next year is to be
able to get my jersey on without
two guys having to pull it down
over me,” said Manley.
Country rugby clubs nip at city heels
One-eyed Cantab
Gordon Findlater
gordon.findlater@starmedia.kiwi
THE GAP between the country
and metro rugby competition
appears to be narrowing – and
quickly.
Last week Joe Maddock named
five players from Ellesmere clubs
in his Canterbury wider training
squad. More than any other in
recent history.
It appears the fear factor of
diminishing selection opportunities
for higher honours by
playing in the country competition
is all but gone for those who
are looking to put their hand up.
Waihora – which won the
combined country title for the
second time in three years on
Saturday – are well represented
in the squad, with Mark Maintland,
Tyler Koning and Harry
Kirk. They are joined by Tim
Murgatroyd (Prebbleton) and
Sam Cottam (Lincoln).
Talking to some of those
involved in the country final, it’s
hard not to get the impression
they believe the standard of the
competition has lifted in recent
years and they feel a pathway is
being paved for more country
lads to follow in the future.
And don’t expect this to be a
one-off year for the country boys
either. With urban sprawl growing
in Selwyn, one of the fastest
growing district’s in the country,
the Ellesmere competition will
only get stronger. In fact, it may
only be a matter of time until we
PROGRESS: Waihora flanker Tyler Koning is one player

start talking about some of the
top country clubs being able to
topple their metro counterparts.
The rise in standard and
depth is already translating
at secondary school level,
with Lincoln Combined and
Rangiora High both coming
from obscurity 18 months ago
to genuine threats against some
of Christchurch’s strongest
schools. The majority of those
players are then returning to the
country clubs they began their
development at.
Lincoln Combined are
currently third in the UC
Championship and Rangiora
have recorded wins over the likes
of St Bede’s and Nelson College
this season.
In terms of how the power shift
can be gauged, I’m personally
looking forward to the annual
Canterbury Metro v Canterbury
Country clash later in the year.
Metro have become comfortable
holding onto the Craw Shield
for the past nine years, but on
current projections, the next
nine years won’t be a walk in the
park for the city boys.
It can only be great for the
game. With the downfall in
popularity of Super Rugby
due to its continually lopsided
conference system, perhaps this
is a clash worthy of Cantabrians
turning out in numbers for.

Drivers’ premiership in the bag
• By Michael Guerin
THE MAN who for so long
dreaded talking about winning
the national drivers’ premiership
has now opened up about going
one step further.
Canterbury horseman Blair
Orange says he is now targeting
good mate Dexter Dunn’s record
number of wins in a season of
229.
Orange is guaranteed winning
his first premiership this term,
sitting 23 wins clear of Dunn,
who will head to the United
States for a long
working holiday
if and when his
visa is finalised.
So Orange
finds himself on
211 wins for the
year, needing 19

more to set a new
mark and likely
to drive at 20
more meetings
before August 1.
With Dunn
possibly out of
the picture soon
and Orange
getting the pick
of the drives at
most meetings,
his target of just
over one win per
meeting not only looks realistic
but almost likely.
“For a long time, I didn’t think
about the premiership too much
and just got on with driving and
I definitely didn’t think about the
record,” said Orange.
“But now it looks like the premiership
win might be mine, I
needed a new goal and the record
is the logical one.
“I am not going to change
anything, but if I keep going at
the rate I have been, I think I am

•NZ driving wins record
season: 229 (Dunn).

about 50-50 to get to the 230.”
Although he rates himself even
money to crack the 230 mark,
Orange is far more certain to
pass Dunn’s personal best earnings
record for a season in New
Zealand.
Orange’s drives have earned
$2,245,529 this season, whereas
Dunn’s best is $2,256,372, under
$11,000 away.
Even if he eclipses Dunn’s
wins tally and best New Zealand
stakes season, Orange still has
more than $82,000 to earn to
break the record for the richest
domestic season by a New Zealand
driver.
That is, somewhat surprisingly,
held by David Butcher, whose
drives earned $2,328,344 in
2008-09, even more remarkably
from only 94 wins.
As for Dunn, a 10-time premiership
winner, he is going to
win even by finishing second this
season.
“Around about Christmas, Dex
and I made a deal – the one who
won the premiership and got to
go to the world drivers’ championships
in Sweden next year has
to pay half the other one’s airfares
there,” Orange explained.
“So, while it looks like I might
go there to compete, I’ll have to
pay half Dexter’s airfare for him
to come along and enjoy himself.”

LOUIE CHAPMAN will join a
rare and renowned list when he
brings up his 50th cap for the
Christchurch Boys’ High first
XV on Saturday.
Recent history would suggest
the year 13 halfback is destined
for big things by reaching the
milestone, which will come up
against Waimea Combined.
Chapman will become just
the third player since 2000 to
achieve 50 games for the school.

that, he says playing 50 games
for the school seemed a distant
reality.
“I came into the gates

THERE WILL only be room
for one Christchurch club in the
Chatham Cup after Saturday
when rivals Coastal Spirit and
Cashmere Technical clash.
Tech have claimed their fifth
Mainland Premier League title
in eight years and will come into
the match as favourites.
However, Coastal are in a
rich vein of form, scoring goals
for fun. On Tuesday evening,
they defeated Halswell United
6-0. They also went unbeaten
in their final five MPL matches,
including four victories, and
kept four clean sheet, conceding
just one goal and scoring 15.
The run of form has given
Coastal manager Ekow Quainoo
hope his side can finally get
one over Tech in the cup. “It’s
definitely the biggest game in
my career, mainly because we
have a real chance of winning
this game,” said Quainoo.
Tech won the cup back-to-
Chatham Cup.
back in 2013 and 2014, but no
Christchurch club has won a
title since. Quainoo believes
Tech still have the class to win
the cup, meaning his side will

hope to get a result.
“The thing that makes Tech
so hard to beat is they have a

drought against St Bede’s

Meanwhile, Lincoln Combined

Baxey fires up for another campaign
Veteran to lead Bulls again
• By Jacob Page
TWELVE YEARS after his
Canterbury Bulls debut, the fire
to compete still burns strong for
James Baxendale.
The 32-year-old second rower
will lead the Bulls again this season.
A 19-man squad was named
at the weekend, with three more
players to be added.
Baxendale says his advancing
years has its football benefits.
“I play for different reasons
now. I play for enjoyment and
I think I’m going better than I
ever have,” he said.
“When you get older, you get
more crafty with how you play.”
Baxendale comes from West
Coast rugby league stock. His
father Ray was a product of the
Runanga club and he played
39 matches, including 17 tests,
for the Kiwis between 1975 and
1981.
“Dad guided me through the
grades, but to be fair, he’s let me
do my own thing and just play
the way I want.”
Baxendale, an electrician, said
he was motivated to stay in the
game to win a Massetti Cup
title with his club Hornby and a
national title with the Bulls.
The Bulls’ last title was in 2014.
Bulls coach Andrew Auimatagi
has named 10 in the squad
from the Massetti Cup’s leading
two sides, the Linwood Keas and
Hornby Panthers.
It will be Auimatagi’s third
season with the Bulls.
Riccarton Knights second
rower Jope Tagicakibau forced
his way into the squad after a
standout start to the season,
Auimatagi said.
“Jope is someone who trialled
for the New Zealand 18s team
and I thought he’s had a really
strong season so far,” he
said.

Cowboys junior

product Cyrus Timo-Latu

Guide to the weekend sporting action
• By Jacob Page
Metro rugby
Christchuch’s trip to New
Brighton is a highlight of week
two of the second round of
metro rugby. The two teams won
their respective section A opening
week fixtures but none was
more impressive than Christchurch’s
demolition of round one
champions Lincoln University.
Things don’t get any easier for
Lincoln University as they welcome
Sumner. Sumner will be
looking for two wins in a row to
start the round. Sydenham will
host University with both teams
looking to avoid going winless
over the first two games. In
section B, Burnside will look to
build on their week one victory
when they host High School Old
Boys, Shirley welcome Linwood,
and Belfast will battle Marist
Albion.
Men’s CPL hockey
Carlton Redclifffs will be
looking to keep the pressure on
competition leaders Harewood
during round nine of the men’s
CPL hockey competition on
Saturday. The second-placed side
will not have it all their own way,
though, as they face a Southern
side which sits fourth after a 0-0
draw with Marist in the previous
round. University, fresh off a 4-1
win over HSOB/Burnside, will
battle Harewood. Harewood
have won all eight of their games
so far. At the other end of the
table, Hornby will look for their
first win of the campaign when
they face Fendalton-Avon, and
Marist will look to stay in the
play-off picture when they battle
HSOB/Burnside.
Women’s CPL hockey
Marist and HSOB/Burnside
will look to push their women’s
CPL play-off claims at the expense
of each other on Saturday.
HSOB/Burnside sits second
on the ladder, while Marist is
fourth. Third-placed Harewood
have a bye. Top-of-the-table
Carlton Redcliffs will face cellardwellers
Southern, while Hornby
and H and B Avon do battle in
the middle of the table.
Massetti Cup rugby
league
It is a battle of two v three that
will be the highlight of the ninth
round of the Massetti Cup rugby
league competition. The Hornby
Panthers will look to keep in
touch with the unbeaten Linwood
Keas but will have to fight
off a strong challenge from the
Massetti Cup

When you’ve lived in a property for a while
it can be hard to be rational about its worth.
How can you put a price on the spot where
you’ve built so many memories with family
and friends? Someone will surely recognise
the hours you spent sanding back the
windows or digging out the agapanthus in
the garden and reward you with a high price,
won’t they? Unfortunately potential buyers
may see things differently, especially in a
slow housing market.
There are several methods you can use to
gauge the worth of your property. Remember
that the rateable value or RV (formerly
known as the government valuation, or
GV) of your property doesn’t really provide
any clues. These valuations are done by
the local council to work out what share of
rates a household should pay. They are only
done every three years and don’t take any
improvements into account – increasingly,
properties that include an RV figure in the
advertising will come with a disclaimer that
it is not indicative of current market value.
These days you can gather a lot of
information for free thanks to websites like
Trade Me and Homes.co.nz. Trade Me’s
Property Insights has information on more
than 1.5 million homes, including rateable
value data, previous sale prices, when the
property was built and what size it is. The
site also provides an estimated value range,
based on a melting pot of data from sales of
comparable properties, listing details and
user activity. Homes.co.nz operates similarly.
Its estimate service is built on a complex
set of valuation models, using around 30
million pieces of data bought from councils
nationwide, plus sales values and a wide set
of property features. Both sites recognise
there are a number of factors at play, so they
offer an estimated value range that can be
quite broad.
While both these sites are useful, they
don’t show the full picture and should only
be used as the starting point in determining
value. They can’t take the condition of your
property into account and they may not
recognise any improvements you might
have made (though homes.co.nz does allow
owners to ‘claim’ their property and edit
information about it).

What’s my house
really worth?
NEW LISTINGS
Let’s say you own a large property in an
area where there have been some big-ticket
sales in the last year. Your property might
have some serious structural issues and be in
generally poor condition, yet the algorithms
may claim that it is worth a lot more than any
sensible buyer would pay for it because other
houses in the neighbourhood have sold for
high prices. The impact of this is two-fold.
Firstly, the seller could anticipate a big payday
that may never arrive; and secondly,
some buyers may be put off making an offer
because they think it’s out of range.
There are a couple of ways to combat this.
When you start working with a real estate
agent to sell your property they must supply
you with a current market appraisal or
CMA. This is based on similar information
to the online versions, but it also comes with
the agent’s real-time, real-life knowledge
of the area, what similar properties have
sold for and the condition and particular
characteristics of your own property (such
as whether it has been repainted recently
or it’s in a state of disrepair). The agent will
have had the chance to walk through your
property and identify its unique selling
propositions, such as good sun, proximity
to desirable schools and other features that
buyers like. It’s important to note that you
may get varying CMA ranges from different
real estate agents as they may each take a
divergent perspective on your property that
you will then need to consider.
Your other option is to pay a registered
valuer to provide you with an independent
valuation. This service comes at a cost (the
price will vary, depending on the level of
detail), but it will be more accurate. The
Property Institute, which represents valuers,
says a registered valuation can help sellers be
a little more clinical about their property’s
worth.
Even with all the information you can
gather, the true indication of your property’s
value is what a willing buyer will pay for it
at the given time that it’s on the market. A
valuation, a price range or a figure reached
by an algorithm is not cash in the bank.

he first time I woke up with a cold nose in my brand
new home, I was shocked. How could this be? The
cool, calm, collected one and I had planned for our
home to be well insulated against Canterbury’s
cold winters. Turns out, not well enough. We’d
even assured a well-meaning friend we had ample
insulation (yes, Duncan, you were right). I’ve worked out where we
fell short in hindsight. Our home was designed by highly respected
Christchurch architect the late Peter Beaven, for a magic little
Port Hills site, where he planned to live in with his wife Lesley.
Sadly Peter died before realising his plans. We bought them and
employed Archology in Sydney, where we were living at 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 Villard 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 Villard, an architect from France, is on a mission
to transform building best practice here and you can read about 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 all the home owners said
what they most valued was the ability of their designer or builder to
“really 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 all the latest 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!
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’ll prove that it can
be done, and it might be the last thing I prove.”
