Huge support for
East’s coastal stand
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
and Matt Salmons
DAVID EAST has received
a flood of support over his
allegations the city’s District
Plan was tampered with, which
could see him asked to resign as
a city councillor.
He is facing a disciplinary
hearing and has been stood
down as chairman of the regulatory
performance committee
after calling for an independent
inquiry into an erased clause in
the District Plan.
Cr East alleged the omission
of a discretionary rule in the city
council’s High Flood Hazard
Management Area policy was
against the intentions of the
replacement district plan independent
hearing’s panel.
Without the discretionary
rule known as the enable clause
residents are finding it almost
impossible to build or extend
their properties within the
HFHMA.
It affects people in Southshore
and Redcliffs.
The city council fought the inclusion
of the clause during the
process of the plan’s ratification
by a hearings panel two years
ago.

from the editor’s desk
I’M NOT surprised David East has got the
backing of the community over his stand
on the flooding and building issues which
will affect many in Southshore and across
the estuary in Redcliffs.
But it looks like he will get slam-dunked
by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and city council bosses.
Time will tell if he will be asked to resign as a city councillor.
Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim Money
and her deputy Tim Sintes are also facing council disciplinary
action too.
Councillors are supposed to follow certain rules when they
speak publicly. But Dalziel and the city council have been very
heavy-handed.
East’s public stand is what people wanting to build on their
empty sections want to hear.
They need a voice.

Online arguments tie up police
• By Sophie Cornish
PEOPLE ARE increasingly
going to the police to report
arguments they are having
online.
But New Brighton Sergeant
Jim Currie says the police is not
often the best
place to go.
He said
there had been
an increase
in complaints

in the last
month.
Jim Currie
He is calling for people to deal
with the matters differently.
“The best way they can deal
with it is to block the person and
keep themselves safe by talking
to Netsafe,” said Sergeant Currie.
Netsafe is a New Zealand independent
and not-for-profit
online safety organisation.
“It’s about people who were
once friends having fallouts, and
then people are saying things on
social media about each other
and they don’t like what they are
saying, so they are complaining
to police about it.”
“A lot of these aren’t really
police matters and they are tying
up resources which could
be used elsewhere . . . basically
we are telling people we don’t
always have time to investigate
these things and that people
need to look after themselves on
social media,” he said.
People are reporting the
incidences through the crime
reporting line, phoning the police
or coming into the station.
Sergeant Currie said while
there are some “grey areas”
around police jurisdiction and
the internet, if there are threats
to cause serious harm or the
belief the person is capable of
causing harm, then they would
be involved.
However, if a disagreement
happens, police have little power
to get involved, due to it being

East says he will apologise if he is wrong
•From page 1
“Sir Tipene O’Regan is one I
am happy to acknowledge”.
Ms Money said: “We need
to speak up and make a stand
for our community and that is
exactly what we have done.”
Since Cr East’s stand, there
has been calls for him to run for
mayor at next year’s local body
elections.
But while many in the
community are supporting
Burwood Ward councillor
and Coastal-Burwood
Community Board member
Glenn Livingstone and other
city councillors won’t commit to
supporting Cr East.
“Personally myself, I wouldn’t
be making allegations like this,”
said Cr Livingstone.
“The facts need to be established
first”.
Cr East said he would be “more
than happy to unreservedly
apologise” if it transpired he was
wrong and had been “led up the
garden path.”
Cr East’s fellow city councillors
have closed ranks when asked
whether they support his public
stand.
Cr East also said he has “no axe
to grind” with the lack of support
from his fellow city councillors.
He had expected it given they
have been told not to comment to

media because Ms Dalziel is handling
potential code of conduct
proceedings.
Christchurch East MP Poto
Williams would also not comment
on whether she supported
Cr East’s accusations.
“But I do recognise there are
some issues of fairness that the
residents have raised in terms of
their ability to rebuild or build
on their property,” Ms Williams
said.
Approaches have been made to
various MP offices to make them
aware of the issue and how they
might resolve it.
“There are things happening in
the background but I don’t want
to prejudice any ongoing discussion,”
she said.
Christchurch East National list
MP Jo Hayes said Cr East had
“unhitched a can of worms.”
“He has opened it right up,
and an independent inquiry
will prove if what he is saying is
right,” Ms Hayes said.
Southshore Residents’ Association
chairwoman Lynda
Burdekin said it is 100 per cent
behind Cr East and it supports
and applauds him for his stand.
Southshore resident Cherylan
Davies, who has been trying to
build a house after purchasing a section
on Rocking Horse Rd, agrees.
After investing $22,680
on consultants, building
consent fees and a geotechnical
report she and her husband were
informed they needed a resource
consent to proceed.
Mrs Davies said it will cost
$5850 to lodge an application for
a resource consent. A consultant
planner said it was likely the resource
consent would be refused
by the city council and an appeal
to the Environment Court would
be necessary.
Cr East has done what his
constituents have asked him to
do, she said.
South Brighton Residents’
Association secretary Séamus
O’Cromtha said it is up to Cr
East to substantiate what he alleges.
“I think the best way to cut
through all this fog and confusion
is to have a full independent
inquiry into city council practices
over the last few years,” he said.
Christchurch Coastal Residents’
United deputy chairman
Warwick Schaefer said the group
was “absolutely backing David.”
The city council should focus
on issues around the HFHMA
policy rather than Cr East’s
conduct.
He said it felt like “they’re
shooting the messenger.”

No timeline to re-install fronds
• By Georgia O’Connor-
Harding
THE Anzac Drive bridge’s iconic
fronds could be a long way off
from being re installed.
The Coastal- Burwood Community
Board is pushing for the
fronds to be placed back on the
bridge after they
were taken down
in 2010 for safety
reasons.
But city
council operations
manager
Steffan Thomas
said there is no
Kim Money
funding to reinstate the fronds
and therefore no time frame is
available.
Board chairwoman Kim
Money said the best outcome
would be for the fronds to be
re-installed.
“We really want to see them
back up because they are beautiful
pieces of art. It is a shame to
have them sitting somewhere
waiting on a 10 to 20-year plan
for the bridge to be replaced,” she
said.
Mr Thomas said the fronds
were originally put in place for
art and beautification and to
reflect the plant life in the area.
The fronds were first installed
in about 2000 and taken down
in 2008 due to safety concerns as
the streetlight steel was beginning
to show metal fatigue at the
mounting points.
After further engineering design,
the fronds were reinstated
in July 2010.
But they were removed following
September 2010 earthquake
by the New Zealand Transport
Agency so their condition could
be assessed.
Mr Thomas said if the fronds
are to be re-installed they will be
on their own supports and not
attached to the bridge structure.
However, NZTA said the
fronds may have to be temporarily
removed and stored when the
bridge is replaced.
A NZTA spokeswoman said
BEAUTIFICATION:
The Coastal-
Burwood
Community Board

there is no plan in the next three
years to replace the bridge.
They are currently being stored
in the city council’s contractors

Meeting the challenges wheelchair users face
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
EVERY WEEK at least three
New Zealanders are paralysed by
a spinal cord injury.
Last week, The Palms shopping
centre manager Emma Smith
found out how challenging it is
to be in a wheelchair.
To raise awareness for spinal
cord injuries, Mrs Smith spent
the day in a wheelchair while
running the shopping centre.
Getting used to a wheelchair
was “challenging.” Small things
like unpacking a bag or a laptop
or going to the bathroom were a
struggle, she said.
“I really appreciated how challenging
life can be for others and
I certainly won’t take for granted
the easy accessibility I have,” she
said.
The Palms teamed up with
the New Zealand Spinal Trust
as part of a week-long national
appeal to raise funds and awareness.
The NZST helps those affected
by spinal cord injury or impairment
live independent and
confident lives.
Mrs Smith said on average
three people suffering a spinal
cord injury was “horrifically
sad.”
“It is just really important we
as a centre understand the frustrations
and challenges and we
can continue to make improvements
for these families.
“All shopping centres should
be accessible, there is no excuse
not to,” she said.
The Palms is working on making
its cafes more accessible by
ensuring there is enough room
for people with wheelchairs to
access the area with ease.
At the shopping centre for the
exercise was NZST marketing
manager Mike Brown.
Six years ago his life changed
forever when he was struck by a

car while working in Tannum
Sands, Queensland.
He was skateboarding to a park
to meet his son and wife when a
car crossed the centre line, crashing
into him and breaking his
back.
The accident left Mr Brown
with a spinal cord injury and he
requires a wheelchair for mobility.
Last year, Mr Brown began
working for NZST following
the support he and his family
received after the accident.
It was a long road to recovery
for Mr Brown, but he said with
the right support from organisations
like the NZST, life is pretty
good.
“There are constant struggles,
accessibility is only one of those
struggles but I think as a society
we are certainly a lot more aware
and we are making more steps to
make it more inclusive,” he said.
On Saturday, the shopping
centre hosted a wheelchair
obstacle course where the public
participated with a gold coin
donation.
The nationwide appeal started
on Wednesday for World Spinal
Cord Injury Day.

Trees for Rawhiti Domain
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
THIRTY-FIVE trees will be
planted at Rawhiti Domain.
The city council is planning
to put them in along the Keyes
Rd entrance to the domain
after seven mature pine trees
were removed
earlier this
year because
of safety
concerns.
The Coastal-
Burwood
Community
Tim Baker
Board
approved
for 35 trees with five different
species to be planted at the
domain at its meeting last week.
The winter and spring flowering
cherries, walnut trees,
almond and totaras will be
planted this month.
The city council began public
consultation on the plans in
July after the community board
requested a landscape plan
be developed to improve the
domain.
Community board member
Tim Baker said the tree planting
is “brilliant news.” He is hoping
the community is happy with
the decision.
More than 70 residents submitted
on the plans.
Submitters had previously
raised concerns over the lack
of long-term planning in the
park.
The city council’s current
Long Term Plan 2018 /2028 plans
to allocate $10,000 to enhance
entrances in the Rawhiti Domain.
Tree stumps left behind when
the pine trees were removed
at the Keyes Rd entrance are
now being used as a trial nature
space.
Community group, The
Guardians of Rawhiti Domain,
is planning to transform woodland,
located off Keyes Rd, into a
“natural play space.”
Last month students from
Rawhiti School, Shirley Primary
School, South Brighton Playcentre
and residents gathered for
a native planting and unveiled
a sign for a temporary nature
playspace at the domain.
INNOVATIVE:
Children have
been using the
felled trees at
Rawhiti Domain
as a natural
play space.
The guardians will
maintain the remaining logs
and stumps for one year
while they consult with the
community on a more long-term
nature play area.

Board
moves to
protect
landmarks
• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding
INQUIRIES HAVE been made
into the heritage status of the
New Brighton Clock Tower and
War Memorial to ensure its
protection in the future.
The Coastal -Burwood Community
Board asked city council
staff to report back on the status
of both landmarks to assure it
would not be at risk of being
removed. Chairwoman Kim
Money said the area doesn’t have
a lot of heritage and it was important
to give the clock tower
and cenotaph a significant status
so they can’t be altered.
City council staff reported at
the board’s meeting last week
the clock tower, opened in 1935,
is listed as a heritage place in
the District Plan. While the war
memorial unveiled in 1925 is not
listed in the plan, it is considered
to be significant for its social history
and is a local landmark.
The city council is currently
investigating the possibility of
illuminating the clock tower.

Chlorine-free
water supply
one step closer

THE NORTH-WEST is one

as the construction of a new

The new Gardiners pump

commissioning of the pump station,
suction tank, diesel tank,
two deep wells, access road and
drainage.
“The pump station was built
to replace Harewood pump station,
which had a shallow well,
and also to provide additional
supply capacity for growth in
the north-west area, particularly
in Highsted and Upper Styx,”
he said.
The city council stopped chlorinating
the Thompsons water
pump station in late August,
bringing the total number of
pump stations across the city
not being chlorinated to eight.
Including the Gardiners
pump Station, that number was
now nine.
INMATES ARE doing their bit
to keep newborn babies cosy this
month.
One hundred baby beanies
crocheted by prisoners have
been donated to newborns at
Christchurch Women’s Hospital.
The Christchurch Women’s
Prison’s knit project is growing
in popularity and currently
involves nine novice and
experienced knitters.
Poppy, who is part of the
prison group, is a very keen
knitter.
Over the past few months, she
has knitted 83 of the hats.
“I enjoy knitting and through
my knitting, I can do something
useful and give something
back to society while I am
incarcerated,” she said.
“I am approached by other
prisoners and teach them to knit
from basics to cables. I think it
is good for the younger women,
keeping them busy.”
Christchurch Women’s Prison
residential manager Tracy Tyro
said it is a constructive activity
for inmates.
“They appreciate being able
to do something positive with
their spare time. It can be a very
therapeutic activity. The knitting
group can be a good quiet space
for the women.”
“This is a project that really
appeals to the women, many
of whom have children and
grandchildren of their own. They
appreciate the difference a hat
can make to keeping little ones
warm. It offers the women an
opportunity to create something
pretty and practical for some
of our community’s most
vulnerable.”
She said in addition to helping
someone in the community, the
women have learnt other skills.
“They learn to work and be
in a group, to take instruction
and share their knowledge, they
can be creative and express
themselves in new ways. All of
these skills will be useful for
when they are released.”

QUEENSPARK Primary
School pupils have put
their minds to the test,
winning a top award in a
South Island social science
competition.
Pupils took part in the
Tournament of Minds a
problem solving school
tournament aiming to
teach pupils enterprise,
time management and
discipline to work collaboratively.
The year 5 and 6 team
won their section of the
category and will go
through to the national
competition to be held
in Wellington later this
month.
The year 7 and 8 team
were also successful receiving
honours/runner
up.
Secondary and primary
schools from around the
South Island took part in
the Christchurch regional
competition.
Both the school’s year
5 and 6 and year 7 and 8
team took part in the social
science category, which
looks at moral and ethical
issues in the 21st-century.
The theme for the
Christchurch regional
tournament was “Don’t
Fence Me In”.
The year 5/6 team
discussed the Berlin Wall
while the year 7/8 team
made a presentation on
the Vikings raids during
the late 8th to late 11th
centuries.
Deputy principal Pauline
Jansen said pupils had to
discuss the background,
the consequences in history
and the social context.
She said the pupils did a
“fabulous” job and she was
stoked with their results.
Pupils were also required
to take part in a challenge
where they had about five
minutes to brain storm
a creative response on a
secret topic.
The national competition
will be held in Wellington
on September 15-16 at
Victoria University.
Successful schools will
go to the international
competition will be held in

Fire rages, homes at risk
Putting smiles on the faces of strangers
• By Ashleigh Monk
SMALL ACTS of kindness
“make the world a better place”
- at least, that’s what Feebee
Newlands believes.
Mrs Newlands is the founder
of Pay It Forward, a volunteer
organisation which has been
dedicated to carrying our
random acts of kindness for the
past five years.
On September 1, the 15th
New Zealand Random Acts of
Kindness Day, Mrs Newlands
and her team armed themselves
with flowers and lollies to give
out around the city.
“It was a lot of fun this year, we
ran into a lot of people who had
bad days and they said ‘thank
goodness you’ve come along and
cheered me up, I feel so happy
now’,” she said.
“There were a lot of emotions
this year, there have obviously
been some tough times for
people, so it’s just a matter
of bringing some cheer to
Christchurch.”
The group visited Ronald
McDonald House, the YMCA,
the Margaret Mahy Family
Playground, Christchurch
Charity Hospital, Ngaio Marsh
Retirement Village and others.
“It was a day of joy and
excitement, and just people
getting out of their comfort zone
. . . It’s so great to have some fun
with the kids, and the elderly
were just beside themselves
getting flowers and chocolates.”
This year’s theme was suicide
awareness, and Mrs Newlands
said the support from local
sponsors had been “incredible”.
“We had a focus on suicide
awareness which was tough
because two of the girls have lost

their a mother, brother and son
to suicide,” she said.
“Everything gets donated,
it’s amazing. Nona [general
manager] from Moffat’s Flower
Company, as soon as she found
out it was for suicide awareness,
she just gave us bucket-loads of
flowers, it was incredible.”
Mrs Newlands started the Pay
It Forward group five years ago.
She said she wanted to inspire
others to perform random acts
of kindness not only just on
September 1, but all year round.
“It’s pretty powerful. It’s a great
message of remembering to reach
out, build a better community
and love and support one
another,” she said.
“It’s a really important day,
and we want to create that ripple
effect. There are people that do
random acts of kindness all the
time, but there are some that
don’t do it, and we want to get
people to start doing it all the
time.”
She said she wanted to expand
Pay It Forward to include people
from all over the country,
encouraging them to reach out to
their own communities.
“It’s all about linking people
from all over New Zealand up,”
she said.
“I’m trying to collect people
from all over New Zealand to
make the magic happen. We have
some guys in Nelson, we had
someone from Oamaru, some
from Hokitika, people from
Auckland.”

Woolston duo seek
national boxing titles
FUNDS: Queenspark Primary School pupils Ella and Caleb
McNicholl with Emily Box of the Cancer Society New Zealand.
For a good cause
BROTHER AND sister Ella and
Caleb McNicholl have done their
bit to raise funds for the Cancer
Society New Zealand.
The Queenspark Primary
School pupils raised $846 by selling
daffodils.
A cheque was presented to
Emily Box from the Cancer Society
at a school assembly last week.
Ms Box said the society would
like to pass on its sincere thanks
to Caleb, Ella and the school
community for their “amazing
support” for Daffodil Day.
With each donation they also
gave pupils the opportunity to
guess the number of jellybeans in
a jar.
Caleb said he wanted to do this
because he has family members
who have previously been affected
by cancer. He said he wanted
to help others so they don’t have
to go through the same suffering.
FAST FACTS
•It is estimated about
60 New Zealanders are
diagnosed with cancer daily.
•The most common
cancers are bowel cancer,
breast cancer, cervical
cancer, lung cancer,
prostate cancer, skin cancer,
including melanoma.
•Smoking is the leading
cause of preventable death
in New Zealand. About
5000 New Zealanders die
every year from smoking
related diseases.

A CHANCE at redemption and
a debut on the national stage are
the motivators for two Woolston
boxers.
Coach Holly Sullivan believes
she has a couple of dark horses in
Trevor Swainson and Hamuera
Tainui for the New Zealand
amateur championships at the
Hornby Workingmen’s Club next
month.
Swainson, 25, will compete in
the 91kg elite grade and Tainui,
14, will take part in the 63kg
cadet section.
Swainson will be competing in
his first nationals after an injured
rib ruled him out last year.
While Tainui will be looking
to go one better than his silver
medal last year at his final
opportunity in the cadet class.
“I don’t put guys in there if I
don’t think hey have a chance to
win,” Sullivan said.
“Trevor is someone who’s been
training with me for the past five
years and rediscovered his fire
for boxing after stepping away.
“He’s really excited to be
competing and just wants to
go up against the best in the
country.”
Tainui lost his gold medal bout
to Canterbury teammate Daniel
Meehan 12 months ago.
Meehan will move up to the
junior grade this year meaning
Tainui will have a chance at the
gold to add to his silver.
“He’s a very strong kid,”
Sullivan said. “If he lifts his
work-rate during rounds, I think
he can win for sure.
Both guys are capable on
their day of beating anyone
and I’m super stoked with their
preparation.”
Sullivan hoped they
would not be the only
Woolston boxers to
make the team with
several box-offs set
to determine any
additions to the team
in the coming days.
The event runs
from October 3
to 6.

world under-23 championships
in Poland where
his coxed four took
silver.
He is now in Bulgaria
with the New Zealand
elite team for the world
championships, which
got under way over the
weekend, in the reserve
pair with Joe Wright.
“It’s been an unbelievable 18
months,” he said.
“I need to set new goals because
I’ve achieved so many of
my two-to-five year ones.”
Taylor was part of the winning
Maadi Cup squad in 2017 which
not only brought back the top
prize for the first time in the college’s
history, but the Springbok
Shield as well.
Rowing is in Taylor’s blood,
the last time the school raised

the shield was when his father,
Andrew, was in the boat 34 years
ago. While Taylor is essentially
injury-cover in Bulgaria he said
he was still making the most of
the elite environment.
“It’s been very welcoming so
far,” he said.
“In training for the event, it’s
been great to watch how some of
the more experienced
guys go about their
business.’’
Taylor said he
had a bond with top
Kiwi single-sculler
and fellow former St
Andrew’s College rower
Robbie Manson.
“Robbie has been
super helpful,” he said.
Ben Taylor “He doesn’t give you a
lot of help but if you ask
for it, he’ll make the time.”
Taylor said his rapid rise had
allowed him to realistically
dream about being part of the
2020 Tokyo Olympics.
“I definitely wouldn’t have
dreamed about that 18 months
ago.” He said he wouldn’t mind
what boat he was put into.
“It doesn’t matter I’ve been
looking at everything as an
opportunity so far so I’ll try
to make the best out of any
situation.”

WAINONI’S TE Wero
Gymnastics Club has come a
long way in less than three years
and is starting the see the fruits
of its labour.
Less than three years ago, the
club started with 12 gymnasts
and a leased building.
Now the club now has six of
their seven senior gymnasts
named in the Canterbury team
which will head to the nationals
in Tauranga next month.
Sienna-Jean Hooft (step 5
team), Hazel Hall, Serena Lim,
Libby McDonald, and Momo
Wilson (step 6 team and Jun
McDonald have all been selected
to compete while Jozsi Ferencz
and Svetlana Sazonova will be
team coaches.
The New Zealand Gymnastics
Championships at ASB Arena in
Bay Park, Tauranga from October
3 to 6.
Te Wero chairwoman Melanie
Bloom said the selections were
due to the hard-work of her
coaches and volunteers.
“To have all seven of our team
originally selected and tot have
six competing is a credit to our
coaches and their techniques and
how hard our volunteers work
to keep the club growing,” Ms
Bloom said.
Head coach, Ferencz is a former
Romanian national coach.
Jozsi took the Romanian men’s

first time at the 1995 World
Championships and two apparatus
medals at the 1996 Olympic
Games in Atlanta.
Sazonova is a former Russian
junior team member.
“The club has become a real
melting pot of different nationalities
which has brought a lot of
new ideas and different coaching
techniques,” Bloom said.
The senior gymnasts range in
age between nine and 12 and put
in more than 20 hours a week to
prepare for the nationals where
they will compete in floor, bar,
beam and vault routines.

PROMINENT Cantabrians
have given a mixed response to
the possible futuristic look of
Cathedral Square.
Plans for what 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 “lattice-style” translucent
roof, which could host markets
and other events.
FUTURISTIC: Plans released yesterday show what Cathedral Square could look like.
The long-term vision, which is
estimated to cost between $60-
$80 million, 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
areas.

“We’ve got to look at what is

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.

Convicted killer involved
in high speed smash
Female
passenger
in lucky
escape
• By Barry Clarke and Emily
O’Connell
A CONVICTED killer is back
behind bars after a spectacular
crash while allegedly fleeing
police.
John Oliver Jamieson’s Subaru
Forester crashed through the
Rolleston dog park fence on
Saturday.
A spear-like fence post
smashed through the window
screen narrowly missing a
woman in the passenger seat.
Miraculously Jamieson and the
woman were unhurt.
He had earlier been recorded
driving at 180km/h on State
Highway 1.
A cut-down rifle was later
found by police in the vehicle.
Startled dog walkers said
Jamieson ran a short distance
from the vehicle before stopping
to see if the woman in the vehicle
was okay.
Police arrived soon after and
he was apprehended.
Jamieson was one of six men
found guilty of the manslaughter
of Timaru man Wayne Kerry
Bray in 2009. Jamieson received
a nine-year jail sentence. He was
on bail for other charges at the
time of the attack on Mr Bray.
Mr Bray, 26, died four days
after he was punched, kicked and
stomped on in a Timaru street.
Mr Bray had walked past a
property where there had been a
party. There had been bad blood

Grand street appeal, contemporary interiors
47 Hackthorne Road, Cashmere
Auction: Thursday, 27 September 2018 Unless Sold Prior
5 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 toilets | 1 living room | 1 dining room | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 3 off-street parks | Listing #BE193116
With story book charm and grand street
appeal this home was always designed
to impress and never more so than now,
with modern homes all beginning to look
the same. The wide front portico with its
black and white chequered floor opens
into an expansive entry area with polished
wood floors, white wood panelling and the
stairway to the upstairs rooms. Impeccably
updated interiors are tasteful and elegant.
The family living and dining spaces and
kitchen are nicely connected to the central
entrance area with a second formal living
room on the opposite side. Doors can be
flung open to create large flowing spaces
or closed off for a more cosy, intimate
feel. A central wood burner efficiently
heats all the spaces with the warm glow
of real flame. The designer kitchen, all
in warm tones of white with extra wide,
freestanding oven, fits perfectly with
the character of the home while adding
contemporary convenience. A butler’s
pantry helps keep mess to a minimum
and adds a ton of storage. Adjacent to the
dining room, there is a sizeable laundry
with a showering and wash area. The
communal spaces enjoy views over the
treetops and all day sun.
There are as many as six bedrooms,
one downstairs with an ensuite and the
others all upstairs along with the main
bathroom. From the upstairs rooms there
are lovely views over the city ensuring
something to capture the eye day or night.
This substantial family home affords the
flexibility to configure it to suit your needs
with plenty of options for families of all
shapes and sizes.
