More
than 100
estuary
trees to
face axe
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
DEAD AND decaying pine trees
along the edges of the South
Brighton Domain estuary edge
will be cut down.
More than 100 trees will face
the axe over the next fortnight.
Erosion caused by the February
22, 2011, earthquake led to
the seawater damaging the trees.
The removal of the trees has
been debated since last year.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said if the estuary edge
had been protected, a lot of the
trees would have been saved.
He said the board has been
pushing for the estuary edge to
be restored after the earthquake
to prevent losing the trees.
It comes after an urgent
meeting was held with the
community board and a city
council arborist recently in a
bid to resolve the issue of dying
trees.
Forty-eight small-to-medium
trees and 56 large trees were
identified by the arborist as
needing to be removed because
they were in poor condition.

GOOD NEWS for Charlotte Donne and
Dylan Wood (pages 4-5) over their battle
to get a resource consent to add to their
Southshore home.
But the warning bells for others should
be ringing.
Southshore, Redcliffs across the estuary, and South New
Brighton are areas with big question marks hanging over them.
It’s all about rising sea levels and the monster lurking in the
background – insurance cover.
People living in the High Flood Management Plan area are
facing difficulties in obtaining resource consents to extend their
homes or to build on empty sections.
Trying to build on an empty section is the real issue at the
moment.
Local community board deputy chairman Tim Sintes is
working with others to try and sort the problem.

Road marking fails to curb speeding
Motorist reaches
136km/h on
Rothesay Rd
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
PAINTING road-marking
lines on a residential street in
Parklands has failed to stop
vehicles speeding through the
area.
The city council attempted
to alleviate vehicles speeding
on Rothesay Rd by installing a
centre line and
side lines on
parts of the
road between
Queenspark
Drive and
Putake Drive.
But the latest
data shows
Kelly Larsen
little change in
the pattern of
speeding along
the 50km/h residential road.
City council staff used a handheld
radar device to measure the
speed of vehicles on Rothesay Rd
and undertook a traffic count.
Staff had previously taken the
same recordings last year and
in 2016. The maximum speed
recorded in April was 136km/h.
In March 2016, 129km/h was
recorded and 118km/h in June
NO CHANGE: The lines painted on Rothesay Rd have not
stopped vehicles from speeding through the area.

last year. Eighteen vehicles were
clocked at more than 100km/h
in April.
The information recorded has
been passed on to police.
Senior Sergeant Kelly Larsen
said Rothesay Rd was regularly
patrolled by police.
She said police are using the
city council data to determine
the most appropriate time to
deploy resources to the road.
City council acting operations
manager Ryan Rolston said
there was no obvious pattern
around when vehicles were
exceeding 100km/h.
According to the city council
data, Fridays were particularly
bad for speeding, with five vehicles
caught travelling faster than
100km/h on the weekday.
Senior Sergeant Larsen said
police will use the evidence to
identify were officers could be
deployed.
“Because there are so many
demands on our time, we need
to be really careful we are deploying
staff in the most efficient
way possible,” she said.
The latest city council traffic
count data shows an increase
in peak traffic volumes along
Rothesay Rd, with the average
being 350 vehicles per hour.
In March 2016, the average
peak hour volume was 262, and
in June 2017, it was 327.
A city council report said
although there was no evidence
the new road markings had
reduced speeding, it was a relatively
low-cost measure coming
in at $3000.
The city council is planning to
buy three relocatable electronic
speed detection and display
signs and may consider putting
one on Rothesay Rd.
Parklands Residents’
Association chairman David
Baines said other solutions may
reduce speeding such as speed
bumps.
He suggested the speed bumps
could be trialled near the corner
of Queenspark Drive and
Rothesay Rd.
However, Mr Rolston said the
city council has not considered
speed bumps and there is no
funding for them currently.

PARKING ISSUES
City council staff are looking
into what can be done about
family members parking cars
on berms and across driveways
when dropping off and picking
up children from New Brighton
Catholic School. The Coastal -
-Burwood Community Board
noted that residents had reported
parking issues and have asked
city staff to follow up on the issue.
Chairwoman Kim Money said
parents just need to be reminded
to be courteous to the neighbours
of the school.
NEW PREMISES SOUGHT
The New Brighton Menzshed
is looking for larger premises
to operate out of. It currently
operates out of a standard
double garage on Hawke St. In
a letter to the Coastal -Burwood
Community Board, trustee Keith
Preen said the garage was far too
small which severely limits the
number of members that can be
accommodated and the type of
projects it can undertake. He
said the organisation needs a
space between 100 to 330 sq
m. It is also requesting a sole
occupancy for safety and security
and ideally an already existing
building. But Mr Preen said if no
building was available, bare land
with building rights may be a
viable option.

Southshore couple
McMaster & Heap
Veterinary practice
Another heAP Vet in the
fAmily….
Our son Connor has
just been accepted
into the Veterinary
Programme
at Massey in
Palmerston North.
Steve and I are
super proud as we
know how hard he’s
worked these past
5 months to make
the cut. A big part of the selection process
now is a weekend of interviews involving real
life situations and personality testing which
accounts for a large percentage of your final
grade. This is new but I think essential in
choosing the kids with the right set of skills
and personality traits to move into a very
select, challenging and not easy profession.
In our experience the best vets we have
encountered were not the cleverest kids
by any means. The unforgettable students
were relatable and practical, enjoyed solving
problems quickly and talking to people,
cared about animals in general, loved the
team environment and were hard workers.
You have to have fantastic work ethic in this
profession and not be a
complainer –
the hours are
long, the days
throw at you
many real life
emergency’s
constantly but
the rewards
personally are
huge. Its not
a job – it’s a
way of life and
it’s a privilege
to care for
pets and their
owners.
All our 3 three sons have loved animals
from day dot. All their lives they have
grown up with cats and dogs and horses
(through my parents). All three boys have
always been kind, caring and respectful
of all our pets and taken responsibility
for them. Our pets have come away on
holiday with us and we are not complete
as a family without them. Right from small
children they spent a fair bit of time at the
vet clinic, whether it be afterhours callouts,
watching their dad operate on eyes, coming
in to medicate and feed sick patients in the
weekends, helping me clean and feed our
cattery cats on public holidays or being an
extra pair of hands at a caesarian. They have
never resented the amount of time we spend
at the clinic and they have always wanted to
hear about interesting cases and be involved.
Up until this year Connor was at UC Berkeley
in San Francisco on a tennis scholarship,
playing for the Cal Tennis team and studying
Open 7 days

an undergraduate
degree in
sciences. He spent
18 months of a 4
year scholarship
there and loved it
but had decided
he’d had enough
of tennis and
wanted to give
Veterinary science
a crack. Connor had given his life to tennis,
first playing at age of 3 and I think he’d simply
had enough. Time for a change and to move
forward with his life. He could have finished
his Undergraduate degree at Berkeley but
then he still needed to do the first semester of
prevet at Massey to gain entry into the course.
So he decided at Christmas to enroll in prevet
and put his Berkeley qualification on hold. He
loved studying at Berkeley – ranked the 6th
Best College in the world. He can finish his
undergraduate studies back there whenever
he wants.
A lot has changed since Steve and I were at
Vet school back in 86 and 87. Many of my
classmates are now lecturers and the Vet
faculty has had a massive much needed
revamp. The campus is much the same
and from what Connor has reported
the campus food is still average – main
problem being “not enough food” plus
no one cooks like his dad.
Believe it or not, Connor has the same
room in the same hostel his dad 31
years ago.
The campus
is pretty and
Connor is
enjoying
exploring all
the old places
in town his
dad and I
did on a
Saturday
night. It
hasn’t
changed
much in nearly 30 years.
Its going to be great having Connor in the
same country for the next 4 or so years. I’m
sure he’ll get lots of visitors. Another “ Heap”
one day at McMaster & Heap, and I know for
sure he’ll not disappoint. Here’s to a fantastic
succession plan. It gets to stay in the family
for the next 60 years or so. We bought the
practice in 1999 – I wonder what it will look
like in 2099. Probably a lot different but I hope
its still called McMaster & Heap, even though
I’ll be long gone!

Miss Donne and Mr Wood lodged their
consent application in November last
year but only received the go-ahead last
month.

get consent after drawn out battle
The Christchurch Coastal
Residents’ United group say a
restricted discretionary activity
rule, recommended by the
replacement District Plan independent
hearings panel, was left
out when the plan was finalised
last year. The group is made up
of coastal residents and experts.
Without the discretionary
rule, under the District Plan new
developments or intensification
of land use in the High Flood
Management Plan area is to be
avoided.
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board deputy chairman Tim
Sintes said leaving the rule out
may have been a mistake and he
is working with interested parties
to put it right.
He said for residents to buy a
section of land and be told they
can’t build or get their money
back was an “extremely distressing”
position to be in.
A city council independent
hearings panel decision on the
rule was scheduled to be made
on Friday but was delayed and
will not be out until Monday
next week.
It comes as Regenerate
Christchurch has started public
consultation with Southshore
and South New Brighton residents
on how to solve rising sea
level issues. MPs met last month
to help solve residents’ problems
over getting resource consents.
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams said MPs will decide
on what their next action will be
based on the decision made by
the independent hearings panel.
Miss Donne and Mr Wood
were originally told by the city
council a building consent would
be granted in February.
But after agreeing to sign
a waiver under section 72 of
the Building Act 2004 in their
property’s certificate of title, the
consent was granted last month.
Mr Sintes said by signing the
waiver, the city council cannot
take the blame if anything was to
go wrong with the property.
Miss Donne said if she hadn’t
signed the waiver, the couple
would have had to go down the
road of getting a resource consent
as well.
She said it was “daunting”
signing the document as it made
them uncertain as to how it
could affect them in the future in
terms of insurance.
RISK:
Residents in
Southshore
face building
consent
issues due to
being in the
High Flood
Management
Plan area.
Mr Sintes said in the last few
weeks, residents in the High
Flood Management Plan area
have been telling him they have
had difficulty getting insurance.
Miss Donne said she feels
lucky to have a building consent
in the coastal area.
“Some people would say we are
crazy investing in our first home
here, but we love the beach lifestyle
and wouldn’t live anywhere
else.”
She said the extension could
have been built before her baby
was born. It is due on September
25. The couple now won’t begin
the project until summer. Their
home, referred to as a “beach
shack”, is currently 70 sq m.
“Not living in such a small
place that your work clothes
smell of last night’s roast lamb
because the wardrobe is near the
kitchen will be nice,” she said.
They were aware they were in a
flood zone and contacted the city
council before engaging in the
project in about November.
Miss Donne said the city council
initially told them they would
need higher floor levels to allow
the consent to go ahead. But
then they began to get unclear
answers.
She attended several community
board meetings and went
to Mr Sintes to resolve the issue
before the city council proposed
the couple signed the waiver.
But Miss Donne acknowledged
the long process was not entirely
the city council’s fault as the couple’s
engineer had moved away
without telling them, leaving
them “hanging for months”.

Celebrations
for Burwood
church
ST PAUL’S Lutheran Church
in Burwood will reach
a significant milestone this
week.
The church, located on 130
Burwood Rd, is turning 30 years
old on Sunday.
The event will be recognised at
the church’s normal Sunday 10am
service.
St Paul’s Lutheran was first established
as a German church in
1872, on the corner of Worcester
and Montreal Sts in the central
city.
In the mid-1980s, due to innercity
development and a lack of
car parking the church was under
pressure to relocate.
The church relocated to Burwood
in December 1986 and the
newly-built church was officially
opened in July 1988.
From the end of 2013 until early
2018, St Paul’s had been without a
full-time pastor.
In January Pastor Darryl
Shoesmith was appointed.

While students Summer

Haeata principal Andy Kai

students were arriving at school
hungry and without lunch.
“Winter seems hard on many
of our families. Making choices
between rent, food and heating
because they can’t afford all is,
for some, a reality,” he said.
The school does all it can to
help. “It’s in our best interests to
have our kids fed – without it,
they will not learn as effectively
if at all.” The students are now
devouring 90 loaves of bread a
week and the initial order of 45
wasn’t enough to meet demand.

Another Richmond shop bites the dust
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
UNFINISHED roadworks and
a lack of customers has led to
another business in the eastern
suburbs closing.
The Richmond Village Book
and PostCentre closed on Friday
after 13 years of business on
North Avon Rd.
Owner Alan Spooner said the
roadworks had “basically destroyed”
the store and residents
had not supported the shop.
“It is all very well saying on
Facebook pages ‘let’s support the
shops’ but they don’t . . . if the local
residents had really stood up
and supported we would still be
open,” he said.
Mr Spooner said “there are a
lot of talkers” in Richmond but
“not a lot of doers.”
Bin Inn on Stanmore Rd has
since taken over the post service.
The city council started a full
reconstruction of North Avon Rd
in January, which has since left
businesses struggling to bring
customers into their stores.
Pegasus Post reported in
May that The Green Grocer on
Stanmore Rd closed after the
roadworks caused its business to
decline.
Mr Spooner said the problem
started when the city council
placed temporary traffic lights
across from the entrance to the
DISAPPOINTMENT: Roadworks had “basically destroyed”
the Richmond Village Book and PostCentre, says owner Alan
Spooner.

shop’s car park.
While the traffic lights have
since been removed, the footpath
and road is still dug up directly
outside his shop.
Mr Spooner said even after the
traffic lights were removed, trading
had not improved.
“I just can’t afford to keep on
ploughing my own money into
the business to keep it open . . . it
is really sad, it used to be a good
shopping centre along here,” he
said.
Richmond Residents’ and
Business Association chairwoman
Hayley Guglietta said “the
truth of the matter was people
weren’t going into his business.”
She said she tries to support
as many businesses as possible
but what was offered at the shop
was perhaps not needed as much
anymore.
“Unfortunately that is a casualty
of the changing world we are
living in,” Mrs Guglietta said.
Bin Inn owner Laura Sing said
it is difficult to know if locals
are supportive of her business as
people from across the city go to
the shop.
But she said she did not think
they could survive on local customers
alone.
Ms Sing said Bin Inn decided
to take over the post centre because
it was an “essential” and
basic service needed in the area.
Mrs Guglietta said she would
love more businesses to become
involved in the association as it is
hoping to work on encouraging
more people to buy local.
If your business is interested
in becoming involved in the

Meeting to
discuss
bus route
changes
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
A PUBLIC meeting will be held
in New Brighton on Monday
over the recent bus route
changes in the eastern suburbs.
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams and Environment
Canterbury representatives will
be discussing the latest changes

Plan 2018-2028.
ECan councillor David
Caygill has confirmed he will
be attending while Dr Cynthia
Roberts is also expected to be at
the meeting.
Ms Williams said she was
hoping the public will speak
about public transport and what
the loss of bus routes means for
those living in the community.
ECan confirmed last month
it would combine the 135
Burwood Hospital and 150
The Palms bus routes. The 135
would no longer travel into New
Brighton.

More than 100 trees face axe
•From page 1
City council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge
said from what was
gathered, the cause
of the death and
decline of the trees
relates to the area
being flooded with
seawater over the
last few months.
“The trees are not
able to handle the high salt
content and are practically
drying up,” he said.
Mr Rutledge said unfortunately
the city council

had no option but to
remove the trees.
The board had a further
urgent meeting on
Wednesday with
the Mr Rutledge to
discuss repair the
earthquake damage
on the estuary.
Chairwoman
Kim Money (left)
said city council
staff are looking to get a
coastal engineer’s opinion
on how the estuary can be
approached.
She said funding is “apparently”
an issue and city
council staff are looking
into the issue.
Ms Money said the “clear
message” was she wanted
to get across the fact all
of this could have been
avoided.
“It is because the
earthquake-damaged reno
mattresses has allowed the
water from the estuary to
flood over the land when
we have those storms,” she
said.

Bid to transform Rawhiti
Domain woodland
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
AN AMBITIOUS plan has been
developed to enhance a woodland
area in Rawhiti Domain.
The Guardians of Rawhiti Domain
are planning to transform
the woodland, located off Keyes
Rd, into a “natural play space”.
The vision including treehouses,
a rope-bridge, zip-line
and plantings of woodland flowers
shrubs and pohutukawa was
presented to the Coastal Burwood
Community Board.
It aims to support birds, butterflies
and bees in the domain and
for community enjoyment.
The project will take about a
year to complete.
Guardian committee member
Ruthie Emeny described it as a
“shooting for the moon” plan.
She said the guardians would
like to see the domain protected
and enhanced.
“The woodland area is a lovely
natural space. Enhancing it for
play will create an asset for our
community,” she said.
The idea was formed after
founding member Cathy Baker
noticed a decline in bird, bees
and monarch butterflies.
Mrs Emeny said it was likely
losing 6000 gardens in the red
zone as a result of the Canterbury
earthquakes, meant food for
insects was depleted.
Earlier this year, the city council
assessed a stand of trees on the
Keyes Rd side of the domain.
Seven of the trees were deemed
unsafe and were felled.
The guardians decided to take
advantage of the felled trees by
inviting three playcentre groups
to test out playing on the leftover
tree stumps in the area.
The community board has
since requested city council
staff to consider conducting an
in -depth tree risk assessment/
maintenance programme for the
woodland area.
This is to allow the possibility
of the natural play space to be
developed.
The guardians will be on the
Keyes Rd side of the domain
from 2-4pm on July 22 to get
further ideas from the public
on what could be added to the
“natural space.” On August 22
the guardians will be running a
planting day at the domain and
is planning to get the Shirley,
North Beach and South Brighton
playcentres involved.

Nortons make NZ festival
• By Jacob Page
THE LINWOOD Nortons
under-11 rugby team will be
part of the New Zealand Junior
Rugby Festival in Queenstown
for the first time from
September 28 to September 30.
Team manager Jade Cull said
the team was excited by the
opportunity to play in the event
which sees teams from New
Zealand and Australia compete
in four grades from under-10 to
under-13.
“This is an opportunity that a
lot of teams from clubs like ours
wouldn’t normally get and many
of our kids haven’t travelled
SCHOOLS
much so while there’s a lot to
fundraise, it’s a terrific experience
that, hopefully, the kids
will remember for a long time,”
she said.
The team, which is named
after former All Black and
Linwood club member, Tane
Norton has been undefeated so
far this season after their 2018
grading games.
“The team is playing really
well and they enjoy playing with

each other which helps on game
days,” Cull said.
“We don’t really know a lot
about the other teams but we
won’t be there to make up the
numbers, everyone in the team
loves to play and wants to show
what Linwood can do against
teams from outside (Canterbury),”
she said.
Fundraising efforts will
continue to get the squad to the
event, with extra players being
called in to fill out the squad.
“We want to give these kids a
new and different rugby experience
and we can see when we
mention it that they are really
looking forward to it,’’ she said.
Low-Cost Pensioner
Housing is Trust focus
For 45 years and counting, the Kenneth
F. Weaver trust inc. has been providing low
cost pensioner units for Cantabrians. located
throughout St. albans and edgeware areas,
the twenty nine units which the trust represents
were a dream of founder Kenneth F. Weaver
which became a reality.
the humble and very private community
service benefactor, the Kenneth F. Weaver
trust, inc. bears his name and shares in
the legacy of the prominent Christchurch
businessman. Maintained by a board of
experienced and supportive trustees, the trust
values its years of assistance to the dozens of
pensioners it has been able to serve.
“all those years ago, i felt a strong desire to
support pensioners throughout the city where
i’ve grown up. Having been born in rakaia
and although i have travelled the world, leaving
home at 15 to join the merchant navy, i came
back to start my family several years later.” He
shares. “then upon returning to Christchurch, i
saw a need and felt prompted to do something
about it.”
“i have worked in many industries and
became a businessman who was fortunate in
their investments and business ventures. i have
learned a lot about people and identified a way
to support them. all those years ago, i saw a
need for affordable housing in the pensioner
segment and decided to do something about it.
“i looked at the available central government
schemes and applied for some funding. there
was a lot of paperwork and many questions,
but the ministry saw the value in my goal and
helped me launch the trust. i had set up a
private trust and to this day, my understanding
is that the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. is the
only private trust that has been supported
through ministry channels.”
the Kenneth F. Weaver trust inc. well-earned
reputation lives by the motto – For the Benefit
of others and their goal is to offer rental security
for life.
How the unit process works is that a unit
only becomes available when a vacancy
occurs. Most of the residents have been there
for decades. Back in the late 1970’s when the
doors opened, the rent per week was $11.25.
Now forty five years later it has only risen to
$155 a week, for a single person, 1 bedroom
unit and we feel very good about the ability we
have had to maintain and keep our rental costs
as low as possible. We’re not in this to make
a big profit, but to help serve our community
while maintaining our costs.
all the trust units are well maintained, and our
residents and management team take pride in
keeping them in top condition. the gardens are
maintained by residents and a gardener.
each of the units provide one or two
bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen, laundry and
bathroom facilities.
the residents develop a close knit
community and support for each other which
provides comfort and peace of mine for each
resident. there is no medical care on site, but
the trust units have doctor rooms close by.
Interested in applying?
applicants must:
- Be over sixty
- Have a genuine housing need
- Have less than $25,000 in cash
(excludes car or furniture)
at this time the trust is taking applications
for their waiting list. Apply online at
kennethfweartrust.co.nz.

Brighton makes an impact on new pastor
Grace Vineyard
Church beach
campus pastor
James Renwick
writes about
moving from
Scotland to
New Brighton
MY FAMILY and I have just
moved to this wonderful city
from Scotland.
We are the new pastors at
Grace Vineyard Church beach
campus in New Brighton.
We are excited to play our
small part in serving this
community and together step
into the greater days that are
ahead.
In our short time here, there
are some things we have quickly
grown to love about the people of
the east.
Firstly, you are a resilient
people. You have been through a
lot, but in spite of the hardships
and the knock-backs, you
continue to press on.
COMMUNITY: James Renwick, who has moved from Scotland
to New Brighton, is excited about the area’s future.
Many other communities
would have given up by now, but
you choose to press forward.
I love that many do not let the
past define them and I can see
many working towards a greater
tomorrow.
Even though it seems others
have forgotten the east, we do
not have to forget it.
Secondly, you are a caring
people. One of our best
discoveries since being here has
been the People’s Independent
Republic of New Brighton
Facebook page.
If you can see beyond the
posts of missing cats, and the
occasional moan, you see a
community that truly looks after
one another.
That is rare to find in this
independent world. When
someone is in need, someone
offers help.
When someone loses
everything, the community
gathers around to bring them
something.
I know we can look at the
obvious issues in the area, but we
do not have to let the minority
ruin it for the majority.
Walking around the east,
there seems to be a rising hope
in people’s hearts that there are
better days coming.
There are some great signs of
regeneration. The New Brighton
Beachside Playground, which
my wee boy loves, consent
being lodged for the hot pools,
which I will love, quality cafes
in the area, the Taiora: QE II
Recreation and Sport Centre, the
new schools soon to arrive and
more.
Facilities and commerce will
help Brighton but it is the people
that make Brighton.
I think this community will
continue to be a better place to
live in, work in and raise our
kids in, as we continue to look
out for one another and do
our small part to brighten up
Brighton as we rise above any
negativity.
If we can look beyond what
we currently see, I wonder what
New Brighton could be.
Readers react to last
week’s article about the
dying trees along the South
Brighton Domain estuary
edge. A decision has now
been made to cut them
down (see page 1)
Gary Knight – Surely the
situation of dying trees at the
South Brighton Domain estuary
edge should be
immediately rectified
by selected removal
from a qualified city
council arborist.
In alignment with
the Southshore and
South Brighton
regeneration strategy,
it is vital from not
only a safety, but
also an aesthetic
perspective, to eradicate dead,
dying or unstable trees due
to the erosive nature of the
edge they are anchored into.
These ideals must be actioned
through consultation between
the city council and the
Coastal-Burwood Community
Board to ensure a sense of
rationale prevails over this
contentious issue, prior to the
suggested civic action on the
issue by the city council as at
March 2019. Within this context,
the criteria of the city council’s
Long Term Plan 2018-2028 to
operate grants as a contributory
factor towards community
building is the catalyst for
required funding
for this community
project to be met
from
city council coffers.
Peter Kerr – It
must be a countrywide
moronic
council thing, we
are having the same
issue around the
lake front in Rotorua. Vanity
projects are far more important
than looking after existing information
structures and facilities.
Sonya O’Connor – The
city council probably doesn’t
have the money to do it since it
EROSION: The city council will cut down the dying trees along
the South Brighton Domain estuary edge.
has wasted $1.2 million on an
interactive screen for the public
library and millions of
dollars on cycleways that
cyclists don’t actually have to use
by law.
Angela Toomey – Sadly
people came before trees. If the
community had been aware
maybe they could have helped.
Christchurch has had a lot to
deal with so prioritising this was
possibly challenging in fairness
to the city council.
Karen Whila – Are they
those ugly pine trees? Be nice
to see native salt marsh plants
instead.
Marie Carney – Doubt they
could have been saved – toxic
liquefaction and exposed roots
most likely killed them.
The Northshore
Residents’ Association has
gone to the city council to
find out who is responsible
for maintaining run-down
sculptures in the suburb
Rob Eder – You’ll have to
do it yourselves, the city council
doesn’t have any money left, it
has already spent it on cycleways
and giant flat screens.
Ashley Crook – Maybe
they could get someone who
lives in their community to do
voluntary maintenance? If it’s
just aesthetic, then I’m sure
there’s a qualified plasterer and
a qualified painter to do some
touch-ups. This association
could get discretionary funding
from the community board to
help the association reimburse
the community members for the
supplies or for their time.

Now with the colder and wetter weather on
its way, home owners are focusing on ways
to make their homes comfortable, warm and
healthy for their families throughout winter.
Rising damp is an issue that affects many of
our older properties which suffer from poor, or
no, insulation. In Canterbury especially, postquake,
many people have relocated to homes
that suffer from rising damp which can be
associated with health problems. Independent
tests have shown that up to 40 litres of water can
rise from the ground and enter a house every
day, leading to mildew, mould, condensation
and musty smells. Moulds can produce
various allergic reactions and the
frail, elderly and very young are
especially vulnerable.
Canterbury Foam Concrete
Ltd is a locally owned and
operated firm. The team
understands the problems
caused by rising damp and are
there to help. They will come
to your damp home and pump
a lightweight, flowable foam
concrete under your timber
floored home. Specially adapted
for our New Zealand conditions and
applications it provides a layer of protection
against rising moisture. An unexpected
benefit that the team at Canterbury Foam
Concrete have noticed recently, is that many
owners of properties which had underfloor
foam concrete installed, reported that it also
provided protection against liquefaction after
the earthquakes.

ventilation needs. Phone 03 376 4608 or

HOME & HEATING
Choosing the
right heat pump
for your home
Whether it be a new build, or a retrofit,
most homes include at least one heat pump,
if not a whole heating solution. They can
provide cheap, clean heat and are much more
convenient than a log burner as you just need
to press a button. But how do you decide what
is best? Choosing the right sized heat pump is
key to ensuring optimum comfort levels. Every
situation varies and it is therefore important
to get professional advice from heat pump
experts.
The range varies from wall mounted high
walls, floor mounted systems, multi systems,
ceiling cassettes, right through to ducted
central heating systems allowing you to have a
very discreet way of heating your whole home
to a constant temperature throughout.
Firstly, you must select a heat pump that
is suitable for the size of the space you wish
to heat. Usually a site visit is the best way to
ascertain this. Not only is the size of the area
taken into consideration but also, insulation,
building orientation, windows and ceiling
space. There are a wide range of heat pumps
available with different heating outputs so it
is important to select the correct size for your
requirements that will handle the job but not
be unnecessarily overpowered.
Secondly, the location of your heat pump
is also extremely important. The cheapest
installation is a back to back where the outdoor
unit is positioned directly behind the indoor
unit however this is not necessarily always
the best option. It is vital that the indoor
unit is positioned in a place that will not be
constantly blowing on you. Also important, is
the location of the outdoor unit. Most people
do not want their outdoor unit sitting directly
in their outdoor entertaining area or right
outside their bedroom window.
Choose a brand you can trust. Many brands
have come and gone over the years but there
are a number of manufacturers who provide
reputable and reliable products. All brands vary
in their energy efficiency, quietness of systems
and price, so it depends on your application as
to which will be most suitable. Major brands
such as Panasonic, Fujitsu, Mitsubishi, Daikin,
Toshiba and Hitachi are all reliable brands
backed up by good technical after sales service.
Ensure your heat pump is installed by an
accredited installer. This will not only ensure
correct installation of your heat pump, but also
validate the manufacturers warranty.
Other things to consider when choosing a
heat pump are time clocks, ease of use of the
remote controllers, air filtration and also wifi
capabilities.
Heating is a major investment in your home
and it is vital to get the right advice.
Enviro Master Ltd specialise in the supply,
installation and servicing of all major brands
of heat pumps. Our salesmen are engineers
ensuring you get quality, unbiased advice as
to which system will suit your application
the best. Enviro Master Ltd offer a free, no
obligation quote and will come to your home

What makes a great
Heat Transfer System?
There are a number of Heat Transfer
systems on the market. Smooth-Air
ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU
Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected
components to optimise the system:
They use insulated duct to transfer the
heated air with as little heat loss as possible.
The fan moves sufficient air for the distance
and number of rooms, without being noisy.
The diffusers send the heat to the floor,
not to skim the across the ceilings. All
components are good quality - designed to
operate for years without problems.
Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of
options: One to four rooms, with or without
thermostat and with a choice of grilles and
diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency
in your house, as you are using excess
heat. They have low power consumption
- only 80watts for the three room system.
Circulating air through the house also
reduces the risk of damp.
You can also choose the HTU version
with downjet diffusers, which throw the
warm air downwards to the floor. These
downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to
regulate which room receives the most
warm air.
An average size living room requires 2-4
kw of heating, yet appliances such as log
burners generate heat in the region of 10
-20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of
heat which sits at high level in the heated
room, usually above door level.
Heat transfer units work best where very
hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the
ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate
warm air around the room with no
layering, are not suitable as a heat source
by themselves. However, if you have both
log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer
systems with thermostat can work very
well: The heat pump stops operating once
the heat from the fire has heated the room,
and the heat transfer kicks in above this
point, once there is a layer of hot air at the
ceiling.

(0800 766 684) to ask how they can help
you with your Heat Transfer, as well as
any other ventilation requirements.

REAL ESTATE
A beautiful life… in serene seclusion
99 Purau Port Levy Road, Purau Bay
Negotiation over $939,000 plus GST (if any)
5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1 living/dining room | 3 car garage | 21.2440ha freehold land | Listing #6459
The interior of this extraordinarily
appealing home has been largely crafted
using the enduring beauty of native timber,
resulting in superb spaces for those who want
a whole lot more than a strictly utilitarian
box in a suburban setting. It offers all the
rustic charm you want with all the comfort
you need, combining all day sun with
beautiful views and superb living spaces,
solar hot water panels, two water tanks, a log
burner on wetback and gas cooking.
The cleverly designed floor plan allows
for many options. Live on one side of the
home with three double bedrooms upstairs
with one of these opening onto its own
balcony and a spacious sun drenched open
plan kitchen/lounge opening to the deck
and garden. Along with all of this, two tile
and timber detailed bathrooms all make for
good family living or, in the unlikely event,
you want to share your piece of paradise
with others this will, of course, make for
a wonderful Airbnb proposition, with 2
bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with its own
open plan kitchen and living areas opening
onto the balcony. Tucked away, a short walk
from the main house must be the ultimate
romantic retreat in the form of a candle
lit cabin with an outdoor bath over a fire.
21.2440ha freehold land.
