Consent
granted
to build
Pak’nSave
in Papanui
• By Ashleigh Monk
RESOURCE CONSENT has been
granted for a Pak’nSave to be built
near the intersection of Main
North and Northcote Rds.
Building is expected to start at
171 Main North Rd in the next
few months, and will take up to
12-18 months to complete.
The proposed Northcote Entertainment
Sports Terminal was
set to be built at the site but the
supermarket will go there instead.
Foodstuffs head of external relations
Antoinette Laird said the
site was chosen because Papanui
is an “up-and-coming” area.
“The Main North Rd site will
service a growing and exciting
community,” she said.
“We’re pretty sure the new
Pak’nSave will be a real asset to
the community.”
A Pak’nSave branded petrol
station will also be built on the
site.
Said Ms Laird: “There are many
factors to take into account when
developing a project of this scale.
With every new store we look
to incorporate features which
celebrate the area in terms of look
and feel.”

Green light for bus priority project
• By Ashleigh Monk
THE CONTROVERSIAL Main
North Rd bus priority project
has been approved by the city
council.
The $1.8 million project was
approved on Thursday. It will
see 24-hour bus and bike lanes
put in along Main North Rd,
except for a stretch from Harewood
Rd to
Winston Ave.
Papanui-

he was “disappointed”
by the

decision.
“The rights of
faster bus and bike commuting
through our community to save
40sec to a few minutes has been
ideologically elevated above the
practical local needs of Papanui
people,” he said.
“Our village is being transformed
from a local shopping
precinct into a rapid-transit
commuter corridor. Inevitably
there will be pedestrian accidents
as a result.”

and the change would affect

“They will no longer be able to
cross a much busier Main North
Rd safely with three to five lanes
of north-south traffic.”
But community board member
Mike Davidson said the decision
struck the right balance
for road users and businesses.
“This decision has been a long
time in the making and I know
it is never easy to bring in new
transport projects that are not
used by the majority of people
but still extremely important for
the city,” Mr Davidson said.

“thrilled” with the decision.
“The efforts of the community

said.
“My problem is that there
is a distinct lack of evidence
that these bus lanes will actually
work . . . The (city council)
don’t know whether the project
will reach a good outcome,
or whether it’s just going to

In Brief

BELFAST BRIDGE
One-lane traffic has opened on
the new Belfast Rd bridge. Road
users were able to use the bridge
for first time yesterday, and the
Christchurch Northern Corridor
Alliance team expect to have
both lanes open on November 3.
The remaining work is weather
dependent, and a 30km/h speed
limit will remain in place until the
bridge has been completed.
PLUNKET ROOM WORK
Work has re-started on the
Redwood Plunket rooms, which
are being repaired following
earthquake damage. Significant
cracking on the walls and ceiling
will be fixed before the building
is opened again. The project
is expected to be completed
this month but was originally
scheduled to be finished in June. It
was delayed due to the discovery of
black mould, which increased the
cost of the project by $25,000.
SPEED LIMIT STAYS
The speed limit in the Prestons
subdivision will remain at 50km/h.
The Coastal- Burwood and
Papanui-Innes community boards
voted not to lower the speed limit
to 40km/h after the city council
identified that reducing the limit
was appropriate. The existing
school speed zones will remain in
place.

City woman leads young farmers
• By Ashleigh Monk
and Emily O’Connell
A ST Albans woman has become
the first female chief executive of
New Zealand Young Farmers.
Tech-savvy businesswoman
Lynda Coppersmith, 48, took up
the position on October 1 and said
her first week was “very busy.”
“I’ve been learning a lot – I’m
at brain-saturation point I think,
but it’s been great to talk to
everybody and understand the
business.”
Ms Coppersmith said she had
been out of the primary industries
for more than six years, and
was pleased to be back.
“I really enjoyed my time
when I worked in the industry.
It’s something that’s in your
blood, and you get quite passionate
about it,” she said.
“Having grown a few leadership
skills in the meantime, I
thought this looked like a great
opportunity to get back into the
industry.”
She said she was “chuffed” to
be the first woman to hold the
chief executive position at NZ
Young Farmers.
“I think every time we see
more diversity and women
getting more senior roles in organisations,
it’s a win. It brings a
different perspective to what we
do, and I think that’s great.”
She was looking forward to
visiting clubs and drumming
up interest in farming for young
people.
“I’m keen to understand
who young farmers are, what’s
important to them, what they’re
worried about, what they’re
excited about and that kind of
thing,” she said.
“I think that’s a really important
role that we play, and I can
see there are opportunities to
grow that further, to look at filling
that gap and meet the target
of getting an extra 50,000 people
into the industry.”

With the deadline for Youth
MP applications closing, I’ve
been getting out to our schools to
talk to students about why they
should apply. As local MP, I enjoy
engaging with our young people.
Before becoming a Member of
Parliament, I worked in healthcare,
specifically mental health, but
always knew I would move into
politics as a way of giving back
and making a difference in the
community, and I am enjoying
encouraging our young people to
be a voice for the Waimakariri.
Students at the University of
Canterbury invited me recently
to be a part of a robust debate
on mental health. I was thrilled to
see the involvement of so many
people in talking about the issues
challenging us, and I updated
students on my work writing to MPs
to back my proposal for a crossparty
group to focus on mentalhealth
outcomes independent of
the Parliamentary cycle.
I enjoyed bringing National’s
Spokesperson for Trade, Todd
McClay, to visit some of our
Northern Christchurch businesses,
many of which are exporting
globally. I enjoy showcasing what
we do well and giving people
the opportunity to sit down with
relevant policy makers to discuss
what they need to continue moving
forward, whether they are business
owners or community members
who want their voices heard.
Last month we celebrated an
important anniversary. 125 years
ago we led the world when our
women won the right to vote and it
was a good time to acknowledge
the hard work of our women MPs
who continue in this proud tradition.

Fire rages, homes at risk
Problem trees in dispute
• By Ashleigh Monk
HAREWOOD RESIDENTS are
struggling with troublesome oak
trees while the city council is
unsure whose responsibility it is
to pay for their removal.
Graeme and Diane Barber have
lived in their Cam Pl home since
1983 – but
shortly after
they moved in,
six oak trees
were planted
in Pasadena
Reserve, which
have now
grown to 16m
Sam
MacDonald
and block their
sun.
In the
original plans, a road was
supposed to run through the
reserve and this led to confusion
over whether the oaks are
deemed street trees or reserve
trees.
If they are reserve trees, the
city council would be responsible
for the cost of removing them,
but if they are street trees it
would be up to residents to pay.
Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood Community Board
chairman Sam MacDonald said
the board has requested city
council staff investigate the issue.
“Normally these things can

be turned around in a week, but
because of the technical nature
of this, I just wanted to paint the
full picture, so it’ll take about six
weeks.”
“It’s on a bit of disputed land,
and we’re just trying to get some
clarity around what the process
is and how we manage that,” he
said.
Mr Barber said he has battled
the city council over the trees for
the last decade.
“They’re in the wrong place
and have grown too large. Why
do the needs and well-being of
people overshadow the needs of a
healthy tree?”
He said the trees could grow
up to 24m – the equivalent of an
eight-story building.
“They wouldn’t build
something that tall next to
people’s houses, so why are they
allowing the trees to be there?”
he said.
He said arborists occasionally
pruned the trees, but it wasn’t
enough.
“Their maintenance cycle is a
lot less than what is needed here.
If you complain, you see a flurry
of activity and then it stops,” he
said.
“They’re the wrong trees in
the wrong place, and they can’t
be fixed unless you take them
down.”
A similar problem has also
arisen in Upper Riccarton. The
residents of Villa Grove wanted
the city council to remove 22 oak
trees, which were 24-years-old
and ranged between 8.1-15.8m
high.
However, the Halswell-
Hornby-Riccarton Community
Board declined to go ahead with
residents’ request to have the
trees removed, and resolved to
continue with maintenance.

CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron
Keown could finally see
traffic lights installed at a
Bishopdale intersection as public
consultation on the project gets
the green light.
The city council voted on
Thursday to send options out
for consultation to either install
traffic lights
at the Breens,
Harewood and
Gardiners Rds
intersection,
or to introduce
a signalised
crossing to
Aaron Keown
Harewood Rd
and reduce it to
one lane.
Cr Keown has been campaigning
to have lights installed at the
Breens, Harewood and Gardiners
Rds intersection for two-anda-half
years.
“It goes out for consultation
now, but the preferred option for
council is cutting off Harewood
Rd – they’re basically just going
to try and talk people out of
choosing the traffic lights.”
He said he felt confident that
the majority of submissions
would be in favour of the traffic
lights, but he expected the
city council to try and slow the
process.
“The problem is it won’t just
go to the community board and
then to council, as is the normal
process. It will also have to go
to the Infrastructure, Transport
and Environment Committee.
It’s just another chance for the
council to block it.”
While the majority of city
councillors voted for the proposal,
Cr Keown said he was
“disappointed” that councillors
Tim Scandrett, Pauline Cotter
and Phil Clearwater were against
it.
“That’s how dirty politics operates,
sometimes you just can’t get
wins with certain people.”
He said the opposed councillors
focused on the lack of available
funding for traffic lights, but
he was sure the money could be
found in the Annual Plan.
“I think people will come forward
and say ‘don’t spend money
on stupid statues or a park or a
swimming pool, we want it spent
on traffic lights’,” he said.
“To be honest, with the cost
of the council blocking this
project we would have probably
already paid for the traffic lights.

Fendalton-Waimairi-

Board chairman Sam
MacDonald said he hoped the
city council would listen to what
the public wanted.
“The council now have bought
into the process of letting the
public tell them what they want
at this intersection, so for them
at the end of this to block it
would be completely unacceptable,”
he said.
“From the meeting on
Thursday there’s a green light
that this intersection is going to
be fixed.”

Bus changes: Striking the right balance
Papanui-Innes Community
Board members Mike
Davidson and Emma
Norrish write about the
proposed Main North Rd
bus priority project
THE PAPANUI-Innes
Community Board recently made
recommendations to the city
council on the Main North Rd
bus priority project.
As Papanui Ward
representatives on the board, it
was important for us that this
project struck the right balance
between the local community
(both residential and business)
and bus users.
This is a busy public transport
corridor and 80 per cent of the
bus passengers are Christchurch
residents.
The recent proposal to cut
community bus routes in
our ward by Environment
Canterbury, and the resulting
outcry from the community,
showed the importance people
put on the Christchurch bus
service. But unfortunately bus
patronage is low and this needs
to improve to ensure that this
does not happen again.
One way to increase patronage
is to improve journey time
reliability, which was the aim of
TRANSPORT PLAN: Papanui-Innes Community Board members Mike Davidson and Emma
Norrish share their thoughts on the Main North Rd bus priority project.
this project. Unfortunately, there
have been a number of comments
made publicly that have been
incorrect and it is important to
set the record straight.
The project was estimated to
create journey time savings of
between 3min 20sec and 4min
20sec between Harewood Rd and
Sawyers Arms Rd.
An amendment moved and
seconded by the two of us
recommends to the city council
that the north-bound bus lane
starts at Winston Ave.
This amendment will mean
nine car parks are retained. It
does reduce the journey time
savings by 40sec, but we believe
this was a good compromise.
The north-bound bus lane, if
approved, will now extend from
Winston Ave to Grassmere St
with a reduction of only seven
car parks.
The main change on the south
side between Grassmere St and
Horner St was the removal
of six car parks to extend the
length of the current bus stop.
This decision was approved
unanimously by the board.
There have been comments
made that only four car parks
would be left; this is incorrect –
the actual amount of car parks
retained will be eight.
It is fair to say the consultation
results were mixed, with people
supporting, or supporting with
concerns, or against.
What came through very
clearly from the consultation
though, were two clear issues:
The car parking between
Harewood Rd and Winston
Ave, and the Grassmere St
intersection.
The project team made
significant changes to this
intersection following the
consultation, which resulted
in the intersection becoming
signalised and retaining all
turning movements. The board
unanimously accepted this
outcome.
With the inclusion of the
amendment the board passed the
Main North Rd Bus Lane Priority
project 5-1.
This outcome sends a clear
message that although we
support the need for good public
transport infrastructure, we
listen to what our community
tells us. Our community is made
up of people who both supported
and opposed this project, and
we were never going to please
everyone, but we believe the best
recommendation has been made
to the city council.

SCRUFFY TREES surrounding
the city’s Ronald McDonald
House have been tidied up.
Beaver Tree Service Ltd
donated its time and skills
recently to help trim the trees,
along with removing deadwood
and hazardous branches from
around the building.
The company brought smiles
to children at the house with
lead arborist David McKeich
climbing the trees in a beaver
suit.
Office manager Belinda
Henderson said it decided to
do the work free of charge after
Installed from
$1,990 incl GST
Ronald McDonald phoned up
asking for a quote to have its
trees tidied.
“It means it doesn’t come out
of their budget, they can use it
for something else,” she said.
Beaver also supports social
enterprise and non-profit
organisation, B1G1, which helps
feed impoverished children
throughout New Zealand.
In about 2013, the company
sponsored a room at Ronald
McDonald House that allowed
families to stay for free.
Director and head arborist
Bryce Robb has also taken part
in the Fight for Christchurch
charity boxing event.

Ronald McDonald House.
In 2015, Mr Robb abseiled
down the Les Mills building in
a beaver suit to help raise funds
for the Foundation for Youth
Development.
The foundation is a not-forprofit
organisation managing
youth development programmes,
including Kiwi Can, Project K
and Stars.
“As a company we like to help
out where we can and we think
it is really good for our staff to
get involved in that as well,” Mrs
Henderson said.

History of making money in Papanui
Papanui Heritage group
chairman Murray Williams
writes about the ups
and downs of the area’s
economy
PAPANUI IS a settlement that
owes its origin to the native
bush that was located in the area
between modern day Vagues and
Langdons Rds.
However, this relatively small
forested area was exhausted
by 1857 due to the insatiable
demand for construction timber
and firewood of the settlers in
nearby Christchurch.
The Papanui population then
stagnated but the local economy
eventually recovered as it was
realised that, if the swampy cut
over land was drained, there
was a possibility for a brighter
future based on agriculture and
horticulture.
In the 1860s, Francis Sisson
built up significant land holdings
and a flourishing orchard
business, and effectively founded
a horticultural dynasty in the
MORE THAN $76,000 has been
earmarked for the rejuvenation of
an 1899 St Albans villa.
Up to $76,342 will be spent on
the villa in Ranfurly St.
Built by the Soanes brothers,
Henry and Philip,
to showcase
their design and
building skills,
the double brick
return bay villa
retains much of
Phil
Clearwater
the original form
and character.
The city
council’s social,
community development and
housing committee has approved
grants for a range of other
projects in the city ranging from
$5136 to nearly $90,000.
The proposed grants will cover
maintenance and repairs, along
Papanui area.
Nola Murfitt (née Sisson),
Francis Sisson’s great-granddaughter,
has vivid memories of
living and working on a family
owned orchard in the 1930s and
with upgrade and conservation
work.
Committee chairman Phil

“It’s important to set a
framework for their retention
so that we continue to link the

a 16 acre (6.5ha) block of land
in Harewood Rd, the frontage
running between what is now
Wilmot St and the lot now occupied
by Palmer Funeral Services.
Their holding extended back to
Langdons Rd
The business almost foundered
during the depression. Nola
recalled that on some occasions
apples were dumped, although
the main problem was the high
level of debt taken on to acquire
the property in more prosperous
times in the 1920s.
However, even in the depths
of depression, the demand for
black currants remained strong
and Nola’s job, even as an 11
and 12-year-old, was to organise
groups of children in harvesting
this crop.

THE DRAFT plan for the future
of the red zone is expected to be
made public before the end of
the year.
In its quarterly report, Regenerate
Christchurch revealed the
draft Otakaro Avon River Corridor
Regeneration Plan would be
made public by late-December.
“Regenerate Christchurch advises
the draft Regeneration Plan
is forecast to be publicly notified
between mid-November and
late-December,” the report said.
Once released and public
feedback gathered, the draft plan
will then be approved by Minister
for Greater Christchurch
Regeneration Megan Woods
before it is finalised.
It comes after The Star
revealed Regenerate had spent
nearly $500,000 on the exhibition
used to gather public
demand for apples during the
war years, profitability remained
marginal due to the need to keep
up the steep mortgage payments.
Eventually a Government offer
to buy the land for state housing
was gratefully accepted.
In 1949, Nola shifted to Rangiora
as a consequence of her
marriage to Frank Murfitt, a race
horse trainer based in that area.
The couple had a family of four
daughters and, after the death
of her husband, Nola returned
to her roots in Papanui and is
currently a resident at a local
retirement home.
Nola still retains vivid memories
of her life on the orchard and
fondly remembers her school
experiences and the making of
enduring friendships at Waimairi
School and Papanui Technical
College.
She also recalls summer holidays
when the family would load
their picnic lunches (and several
barrels of beer) on to a truck and
head for Stewarts Gully for a big
day out.
Plan for red zone
feedback which will develop the
draft plan.
“There are always costs involved
with public engagement
but, given the scale and longterm
significance of our work,
we believe this investment is
important to ensure our work is
informed by the views and aspirations
of the community,” chief
executive Ivan Iafeta said.
He said the five-week
exhibition and engagement was
one of the “most significant”
public engagements since the
earthquakes.
It is estimated developing the
red zone would cost $800 million
over 30 years.
That includes $153 million for
the 11km green spine, which
emerged as the favourite option
from the exhibition. The red
zone is expected to bring billions
of dollars in to the economy.

Trying out artistic skills
RICHMOND’S ELLA Warren
(right) thought the Christchurch
Art Gallery was a pretty cool
place to be during the school
holidays.
And that’s because the St
Albans Catholic Primary School
pupil wanted to paint some masterpieces
of her own.
From now until Sunday –
along with Labour Day weekend
– anyone can go into the space
and pick up a paintbrush to help
create a massive piece of public
art on the Art Gallery’s walls.
Titled Wall to Wall, the event
presents the opportunity to be
involved in a “colossal public
paint-out” of one of the downstairs
galleries.
“This is where the art starts,”
acting Art Gallery director Amy
Harrington said.
Ms Harrington said the next
famous work that would be
hanging in the art gallery in 20
years could be done by some of
the young artists decorating the
walls today.
The art gallery was painting
over the four walls every day to
make space for new creations.
“So everyone gets their chance
to paint,” she said.
The space was proving so
popular, Ms Harrington said
there are lines out the door most
mornings.
The exhibition is open from
11am to 4pm every day.
“We are encouraging everyone
to grab a brush and bring your
perspective to this special art
space,” Ms Harrington said.
“We aim to create an immersive
gallery where everyone – no
matter your age – can take a collaborative
approach to art.”
The work comes in conjunction
with the opening of SCAPE
Public Art’s 20th anniversary
season, which opened on Friday
and will run for six weeks.
The trust has installed 216
temporary artworks and 14
permanent artworks in the city,
since its formation in 1998.
Some of the most notable
works include Nucleus by
Phil Price on the corner of
Manchester, High and Lichfield
Sts, Fanfare by Neil Dawson at
Chaneys Corner and Passing
Time by Anton Parsons on
Madras St.
Children had fun with craft
at the Papanui Library

Age is no barrier to city cycling
Fire rages, homes at risk
EACH DAY in Christchurch
thousands of people use bicycles
for their commute, for fitness,
or just for fun. An increasing
number of those people are of
advancing years.
St Albans retiree Jean Bell
returned to cycling last year after
a long period without a bike. “I
was encouraged to try an e-bike,
and I was soon hooked on it,”
she said.
“It’s just so handy,” Jean explained.
“I’m surprised by how far I can
cycle when in the car the same
distance feels like a long way.’’
Visiting friends, attending
meetings, hairdresser and doctor
appointments – Jean travels to
them all by bike.
“It’s much easier to park my
bike than park the car,” she said.
“Now, driving with just one
person in my car feels decadent;
a bit naughty.”
The city’s geography
lends itself to getting around by
bike.
“Unlike Wellington or Auckland,
in Christchurch you have
a choice – cycle on the flat or
test yourself on the Port Hills,”
explains Julie Milne, who recently
cycled the length of New
Zealand to raise awareness of
stroke sufferers.
Julie rides to work year-round
on her modified bicycle; two
childhood strokes left her with
restricted arm movement.
“Cycling is my physical upkeep,”
she said.
“It improves my quality of getting
older. If I don’t bike, I seize
up, which then means I can’t
bike. So, I keep biking.”
Julie will be sharing her experiences
at the NZ Bike Expo
(Saturday and Sunday).
This cornerstone event of
the Biketober festival is where
cyclists of all ages can gather to
celebrate the cycle.
“The expo brings the cycling
industry and the Christchurch
community together,” said event
organiser Krissy O’Connor.
“It places cycling events, test
rides, and community groups
alongside commercial exhibitors.
It’s a very hands-on weekend of
everything bike-related.”
For Christchurch residents
who perhaps haven’t explored
much of the new-look central
city, Saturday’s Pedal into Spring
extravaganza of Biketober offers
twelve themed, self-guided rides
to choose from. Cafés, shops,
playgrounds, art, a family treasure
hunt – there’s a route for all ages.
“If you haven’t been on a bike
for a while,” says Julie Milne,
“start on a cycleway and go from
there. You’re safe. Cycling is
lovely.”

upset their rivals to claim the

The CBHS team took out the
trophy by winning the under 20
national time trial at Loburn.
The 51st edition of the
championships drew 601 riders
from 100 schools over the threeday
competition, which finished
last Monday. As well as the team
time trial, it included road and
points races.
It was the first time the event

the team were motivated to do
well in their home region.
“We went out and rode the
course two weeks ago and felt
confident we could do well. The
guys have given it everything in
their last few training sessions,”
he said.
“We have a few guys peaking

before representing New

YOUNG RUGBY fans got
the chance to meet some
Canterbury rugby players.
Chris King, Phil Burleigh
and Hamish Dalzell met and

Harewood School.
The players greeted the pupils
for a chat and answered their
questions before putting them
through some training drills
and having a game. Burleigh
said it was nice to spend time
with the young fans.
“It was great to meet the
next generation of enthusiastic
young rugby players, to run
through some skills training
with them, and answer
questions they have about what
we do,” Burleigh said.
“This group was really
engaged and keen to learn, so
we enjoyed taking the time out
to connect with them. I hope
the knowledge we passed
on will help them get the
most out of their rugby in the
future.”
The players put the boys
through some training drills,
finishing with a mock game in
which three boys were each put
into a team with a Canterbury
player, while the third player
was the referee.
Canterbury will meet

Papanui rider
wins his
age group
• By Jacob Page
RYAN MACLEOD pedalled past
his rivals to win the under-16
boys title at the national road
cycling championships at Loburn
last week.
The talented 15-year-old
from Papanui High School made
four attack attempts before
finally securing the break he
needed to go on and win the
event.

came back to the

His time of

times in the week before the race
just to see where the best places
to attack were and it worked out,”
he said. Ryan said his plan for

splits his time between mountain

cycling.
He will compete at the
South Island mountain bike
championships in Dunedin,
which start on Friday, before
embarking on his summer
track campaign based at Denton
Park.
Ryan’s coach Hamish Ferguson
described him as “an incredibly

Ryan has won medals on
the track for Canterbury and
continues to excel across the
three disciplines.
“We took Ryan away to track
nationals last year as a bit of
development experiment, and
he did so well that he ended up
being in the Canterbury A team
pursuit and winning golf there,”
Ferguson said.

took up track cycling last year,

Rangi student comes out
on top of under-16 event
• By Jacob Page
RANGI RURU cyclist Charlotte
Spurway’s one-time weakness
has turned into a national titlewinning
strength.
The 15-year-old, who lives in
Fendalton, won the under-16
girls title at the national road
cycling championships.
She has competed in
triathlons regularly but when
she was out injured two years
ago her focus changed.
“Out of the swim, bike and
run the bike was always my
weakest area, but when I was
injured, that was the only thing
I could do regularly.”
Charlotte said she was thrilled
to claim her first national title in
a sprint finish.
She won in a time of 1hr 21sec
with a sprint finish at the end of
the 35km race.
“I’d had a few training rides
on it leading up to the race and
because it was so flat, I knew
that creating a breakaway
would be tough so I just gave it
everything I had in that final
sprint.”
Charlotte went away with the
New Zealand under-17 road
team to Adelaide in April for
the Australian nationals in a

development capacity. She said
it was something she hopes to
do again next year.
She also hopes to continue
competing in triathlons over
summer, as well as take a more
active role in track cycling.
“I think the road cycling has
started to gain more of my focus
though,” she said.
“I don’t have any big goals, I
just want to see how far I can
go.”
