Further 

concerns 

over 

freedom 

campers’ 

rubbish 

• By Matt Slaughter 

FEWER PEOPLE have 

complained about freedom 

campers along Marine Pde 

over the summer – but Kim 

Money says they are still causing 

problems. 

The Coastal-Burwood Community 

Board chairwoman presented 

her concerns at a city council 

meeting about freedom campers 

leaving rubbish behind and defecating 

in the sand dunes. 

A city council spokesperson 

said the council has received 20 

fewer complaints about freedom 

campers around Thomson Park 

and North Beach compared to last 

summer. The spokesperson said 

15 fines had been handed out to 

freedom campers parked along 

Marine Pde this summer, but 

could not say if this was more or 

less than last summer. 

However, Ms Money said there 

continued to be a number of 

freedom campers without selfcontained 

vehicles parking in the 

North Beach and Thomson Park 

car parks. •Turn to page 7

FREEDOM CAMPERS seem to be better 

behaved cleanliness wise at the moment – 

if the number of complaints being received 

about them is a yardstick. 

On page 1 today we revisit the annual 

saga of freedom campers parking up along 

Marine Pde. 

The city council has received fewer complaints from the 

public this summer than they did during 2017-2018. 

But Coastal-Burwood Community Board chairwoman Kim 

Money says they are still making a mess and she has put her 

concerns to the city council. 

One of her big concerns is the age old problem of, not to put 

a too finer point on it, freedom campers taking a dump in the 

sandhills. 

And that’s why Joe Public will always give freedom campers 

the bum’s rush.

Further traffic concerns raised 


SPEED LIMIT changes on roads 

around the new Shirley Boys’ 

and Avonside Girls’ High School 

site in QE II Park will not go far 

enough to keep students safe, 

some say. 

The Coastal- 

Burwood Community 

Board 

approved plans to 

reduce the speed 

limit to 40km/h 

on Travis Rd and 

Evan Smith 

Bower Ave and 

50km/h Frosts 

Rd at a meeting 

last Monday. 

However, Avon-Otakaro 

Network’s spokesman Evan 

Smith and Avonside Girls’ High 

School’s board of trustees chairwoman 

Monica Davis said the 

New Zealand Transport Agency 

should turn its attention to the 

two roundabouts between Anzac 

Drive New Brighton Rd and 

Travis Rd. 

Mr Smith said these roundabouts 

were very busy and the 

70km/h speed limit through 

them would make crossing the 

road dangerous for students. 

Both Mr Smith and Ms Davis 

said they wanted the speed limit 

reduced to 50km/h through the 

roundabouts. 

CONSTRUCTION: Concern has been raised that students at the new Shirley Boys’ and Avonside 

Girls’ High School will be at risk of traffic. 

“Even high school kids on 

bikes and walking going across 

those roundabouts is just an 

accident waiting to happen, said 

Smith.” 

Ms Davis said potentially hundreds 

of students a day would be 

crossing the roundabouts every 

day to get to school. 

“We expect to have about 2500 

people on site so if it’s 25 per cent 

of that who cross the road . . . so 

we’re really concerned about the 

safety of road users during those 

peak times when people are going 

to and leaving the school.” 

Both Mr Smith and Ms Davis 

said NZTA should replace the 

roundabouts with traffic lights as 

well as reducing the speed limit 

However, NZTA senior traffic 

and safety engineer David 

Scarlet said traffic lights tended 

to be much more dangerous than 

intersections. 

Crashes at roundabouts tend 

to be of much lower severity than 

traffic signal crashes, where a 

driver crossing on the red light 

can cause a fatality. 

Mr Scarlet said NZTA was developing 

different infrastructure 

to keep pedestrians using the 

roundabouts safe. 

“NZTA has been working 

with the Ministry of Education 

and city council to address the 

transport needs of the two new 

schools.” 

“Is currently designing a 

pedestrian and cycle facility to be 

used on the Frosts Road leg/side 

of the roundabout.” 

But, Mr Smith said this was 

not good enough. 

“Motorists often speed through 

those roundabouts.” 

“I think, at the end of the day, 

traffic lights on those corners are 

likely to be the safest option for 

the kids crossing there.”

End of an era for Avonside old girl 


PATRICIA TURNER made 

some of the best memories of her 

life during her time at Avonside 

Girls’ High School. 

But now the 77-year-old 

Linwood resident is getting ready 

to say goodbye to her former 

school when it shifts from its 

Avonside Drive site to a new 

shared campus with Shirley 

Boys’ High School at QE II Park 

next term. 

It has been 100 years since 

Avonside Girls’ first opened. 

Mrs Turner is the secretary 

of the old girls’ association and 

attended the school from 1955- 

1958. 

Mrs Turner’s sister Ruth 

Aitken (then Turner) also 

attended Avonside Girls’, starting 

two years later. 

Their mother Hilda Batson 

was in the first class of students 

who started at the school when it 

opened in 1919. 

Mrs Turner remembered 

cycling to school every day from 

her house in St Martins 

and the “very tall trees that 

turned beautiful colours in the 

autumn.” 

She also made friends that 

have lasted a lifetime. 

“It seemed to be a happy time 

for all of us at that stage . . . A lot 

of the past pupils of Avonside, 

we meet for lunch every three 

months and we’ve kept in touch 

and we’re very loyal to the 

school.” 

She said she had a great 

education, a love for English 

and history and a strict but fair 

headmistress. 

Mrs Turner went on to have a 

successful career as a shorthand 

typing teacher and said her time 

at Avonside Girls’ set her up 

“extremely well for the market 

that existed then.” 

When the school was badly 

damaged in the February 22, 

2011, earthquake, Mrs Turner 

said: “It really was heartbreaking 

because the writing was more 

or less on the wall that they 

wouldn’t rebuild on the site.” 

When the gates of Avonside’s 

old site close for the last time, 

it would signal the end of a 

significant chapter in the lives of 

its former students, she said. 

“In normal circumstances, I 

suppose the school could have 

continued for another hundred 

years, so it does mark the end 

of an era and it means that 

everything that we remembered 

about school will be gone,” Mrs 

Turner said. 

“They were some of the 

happiest days of my life and I feel 

it’s now like the closing of a book 

on that period.” 

An event will be held at the 

Avonside Girls’ old site on 

Saturday from 1.30pm until 5pm 

for past and present students 

to reconnect, say farewell and 

celebrate the school’s 100 year 

anniversary. 

Mrs Turner said the event 

would have a post-World War 

1 theme to recognise the huge 

impact that the war had on its 

first students. 

She said her mother used 

to say Avonside Girls’ was an 

escape for many of the 

school’s first students who 

had fathers and brothers who 

returned home from the war 

traumatised. 

“My mother always thought it 

must have been a bit of a refuge 

for these girls, where they could 

just let themselves be teenagers 

and they didn’t have to worry 

about making a sudden noise or 

waking up and hearing their big 

brothers screaming,” Mrs Turner 

said. 

The farewell would include 

a performance from a band 

playing wartime songs and they 

would be serving Anzac biscuits 

to pay tribute. 

Mrs Turner said hundreds of 

former students of all ages would

attend the event, including its 

oldest former student, 101-yearold 

Beryl Newman. 

Current students of Avonside 

Girls’ High School will have 

their last day at the old site in 

mid-April before moving to the 

new QE II campus at the start of 

term 2.

• By Sophie Cornish 

A WAINONI woman had a lucky 

escape after a motorist allegedly 

under the influence of drugs 

crashed into her neighbour’s 

home. 

Wendy Kemp was sitting in the 

lounge of her Pannell Ave home 

getting ready to go to work when 

she heard an “almighty crash.” 

A 31-year-old man, who has 

been charged with dangerous 

driving and driving under the 

influence of drugs, drove up her 

neighbour’s driveway, hitting 

their house and crashing into the 

fence and trees. 

The car overturned in the crash 

and became wedged upside down, 

between the neighbour’s house 

and the adjoining fence. 

“If the trees hadn’t of been there, 

he would have driven straight into 

our lounge, hitting me!” 

“It could have killed me,” she 

said. 

Vandals hit controversial apartment complex 

• By Julia Evans 

THE SITE on which a 

contentious apartment complex 

is being built has been the target 

of vandalism. 

The Williams 

Corporation 

development 

site on Perth 

St, Richmond, 

was flooded 

overnight last 

week after 

Blair 

Chappell 

someone cut the 

site’s water toby 

and turned it 

back on. 

The 2m hole, dug out for the 

complex’s foundations, was 

entirely filled with water. 

“Like a big swimming pool,” 

managing director Blair Chappell 

said. 

“It spewed tens of thousands of 

litres of water onto the ground.” 

Foundation work on the site 

was put on hold as contractors 

hired a diesel pump to get rid 

A police spokeswoman 

would not say what drug the 

man was allegedly under the 

influence of, as the matter is now 

before the courts. 

Mrs Kemp’s husband, Peter, 

helped with others to get the man, 

who was unharmed, out of the 

vehicle. 

The couple have been living 

on the street for eight years and 

never had any problems, said Mrs 

Kemp. 

Her neighbours were on holiday 

at the time of the crash. 

The crash caused damage to the 

side of their home, as well as the 

adjoining fence with Mr and Mrs 

Kemp’s property. 

Mrs Kemp said both couples 

will now have to pay an excess of 

about $400 to get their properties

morning to remove. 

“It didn’t really have a true cost 

other than half a day of using a 

pump at about $500 and a few 

contractors sitting around for 

the morning, but there’s always 

something to do on sites like 

this,” Mr Chappell said. 

The complex faces opposition 

from Richmond residents, 

who are concerned about 

the growing number of high density 

developments in the 

area and their impact on the suburb. 

However, Mr Chappell said the 

site was likely the target of vandals.

Trust to move 

from church site 


THE WAINONI Avonside 

Community Services Trust 

will shift from its site at the 

earthquake-damaged Wainoni 

Methodist church by June. 

The decision was made because 

of concerns about the effect that 

working out 

of leaky office 

spaces was having 

on the health 

and safety of the 

trust’s employees. 

The trust will 

Betty 

Chapman 

now shift to a 

new site at All 

Saints Anglican 

Church in Burwood after 18 years 

at its Wainoni site. 

The Wainoni Methodist 

Church had not been used for 

church services since the 2011 

earthquake, but the trust had 

continued to use it for a range of 

social and recreational activities 

for the elderly. 

The Coastal Burwood Community 

Board will help fund the cost 

of the move. 

Wainoni Avonside Community 

Services Trust’s co-ordinator 

said Betty Chapman said its 150 

members would move with it to 

its new site. 


NATHAN INGRAM doesn’t 

fancy himself as much of a 

basketball player, but he does 

know a thing or two about art. 

The North New Brighton 

resident has brought together the 

two unlikely subjects in a piece 

of art he has designed and helped 

to install on the entire surface of 

the basketball court south of the 

New Brighton Pier. 

Ingram was the second 

winner of the SCAPE Public 

Art Trust’s Re: Activate New 

Brighton competition last year. 

His court design named Forces 

sits directly below the mural 

completed by fellow winner Josh 

O’Rourke. 

Ingram said his piece 

was made up of geometric 

shapes, bold colours, lines and 

stripes, which represented 

traditional Maori narratives 

around “the forces of nature 

where the sea meets the land 

and the sky.” 

He said these narratives 

were incredibly relevant to 

new Brighton residents, who 

often felt the full effect of these 

forces. 

Ingram worked alongside 

Park Life, a company which 

installs acrylic sports surfaces to 

complete the project. 

He did the outlines of the 

shapes on the surface himself 

and told Park Life workers where 

to place colours as he went. 

Finally seeing the work come 

to life after months of drafting 

it on paper had made his hard 

work all worth it, Ingram said. 

The artwork was his gift to the 

area where he had lived for six 

years and he was most excited 

about seeing his young son enjoy 

it for years to come. 

“What I’m looking forward to 

is my young son growing up and 

him saying my dad did that to 

his friends and watching him go

down and play basketball on it.” 

“I’m not much of a basketball 

player,” Ingram said, but he 

would be down at the court 

seeing if his jump shot skills 

matched up to his design skills in 

the near future. 

“It’s got to be done.” 

The court will be open to the 

public from tomorrow.

Boxing gym’s 

future a lot 

more certain 


AN ARANUI boxing gym has 

bought the lease for its building 

for just $1 a year. 

The city council has agreed 

to sell the lease of the damaged 

Wainoni Park Youth Activity 

Centre (known 

as The Bunker) 

to A-Town Boxing 

Gym, on the 

condition that 

A-Town funds its 

repairs itself. 

A-Town have 

Jamie 

Roberts 

been renting the 

space since 2005, 

but it was badly 

damaged by an arson attack in 

2014. 

A-Town boxing gym’s manager 

Jamie Roberts said over 

$100,000 of damage still had to 

be repaired, but the city council 

had previously said it could not 

justify paying for these repairs. 

Mr Roberts said the handing 

over of the lease was the best 

option for all involved because

“Easiest to find Denture

A-Town could finally get on with 

seeking out funding options for 

the repairs after years of not having 

any power to do this. 

“It gives us stability, we’ve 

been in the community almost 

20 years and now we’ll be there 

for another three 11-year leases. 

We’re pretty confident that 

we’re not planning on going 

anywhere.” 

He said A-town was currently 

in talks with a number of agencies 

including the Rata Foundation 

about getting funding for 

the repairs. 

“If we were to do sausage 

sizzles we’d never get there, so 

we’re going to look into funding 

applications and different agencies. 

It’s probably not something 

one outfit is going to fund, it 

might be a joint venture between 

different people.” 

Mr Roberts said the gym 

had offered so much to its 

surrounding community for 

many years and having this 

stability meant they could 

continue to make a difference.

freedom campers near Thomson 

Park to go into 

the sandhills and 

they use those 

as their toilet if 

they’re not close 

enough to a toilet 

. . . if you ever take 

a look down there 

Kim Money you’ll find toilet 

paper around.” 

Efforts to stop this behaviour 

had been somewhat successful, 

but more needed to be done by 

the city council to address the 

issue fully. 

“We’ve had Government funding 

for the new loo to be put in at 

Thomson Park . . . they are using 

it, but some of the ones who are 

parking further down aren’t, said 

Ms Money.” 

She said not enough ‘no freedom 

camping’ signage was up 

in the most popular spots and 

this was also contributing to the 

problem. 

“We’ve already asked staff to 

put up a sign in the car park at 

Thomson Park, but there are not 

enough signs. We don’t have any 

signs in the North Beach car park 

and some of the parking bays opposite 

Thomson Park also don’t 

have signs.” 

The city council spokesperson 

said it had listened to Mrs 

Money’s concerns and would be 

installing more signage in both 

car parks next month. 

Ms Money said the problem 

did not end here though. 

She said the number of city 

council staff employed to police 

freedom campers in these areas 

was too small. 

“There’s only two for Banks 

Peninsula and along our coast, 

so they’re really stretched. As a 

community board, we do need to 

be getting the message across that 

perhaps the compliance officers 

over the summer period need to 

be increased.” 


said it had 26 enforcement officers 

with the authority to hand 

out freedom camping fines, but

only four were rostered on across

Ms Money said too many 

freedom campers were escaping 

fines by printing out fake stickers 

saying their vehicles were selfcontained. 

“It’s the little vans that are the 

issue. There’s no way a van like 

that can hold a toilet.” 


said “the council doesn’t have 

knowledge of this.” 

Ms Money said New Brighton 

and its surrounding areas loved 

tourists, but the way some were 

behaving was ruining the area for 

everyone. 

“We welcome these people to 

our area and it’s great to have 

the tourists in the place, but

residents and our spaces and 

our environment, so to do that, 

we just have to send a clear

Exploring Antarctica on a kayak 

A CHRISTCHURCH woman is 

about to head to Antarctica to 

kayak with an Olympian – all in 

the name of inspiring others to 

get out and explore. 

Ara Institute of Canterbury 

learning adviser Georgina 

Archibald, 29, is one of five 

young people selected to take 

part in the Antarctic Heritage 

Trust’s Inspiring 

Explorers 

Expedition. 

“This will 

certainly be the 

greatest outdoor 

adventure I’ve 

ever undertaken, 

Mike 

Dawson 


so I’m thrilled 

to have been 

selected,” said 

Miss Archibald. 

Next month Miss Archibald, 

who lives in Woolston, and the 

expedition team – including 

Olympic slalom canoeist Mike 

Dawson – will travel to the 

Antarctic Peninsula via South 

America on a One Oceans 

Expeditions vessel. 

Once in Antarctica, they will 

have the opportunity to explore 

the region in kayaks with help 

from guides and Dawson. 

“Going to Antarctica is 

incredible but being able to 

kayak there will be even more 

amazing . . . it means we’ll 

be able to get up close to the 

landscape and wildlife,” said 

Miss Archibald. 

As she counts down to the 

trip, her focus is on training and 

ensuring she has the right gear. 

“I’ve been enjoying kayaking 

around Banks Peninsula over 

the summer. However, the warm 


temperatures have been very 

different to the polar conditions 

in Antarctica, and one of the 

expedition’s biggest challenges 

will be managing the extreme 

cold while kayaking – ideally 

I’ll get my layering techniques 

right.” 

As a self-described storyteller, 

Miss Archibald was drawn to

which combines the chance to 

experience new landscapes and 

wildlife. 

On her return, Miss Archibald 

will share her story with the 

Pasifika community, schools, 

tertiary institutions and 

community organisations. 

“My message will be focused 

on what an incredible world we 

live in and to make the most of 

being able to get out there and 

explore it. Adventures, big or 

small, local or further afield, are 

what opens our eyes and make 

us appreciate life.” 

Antarctic Heritage Trust 

executive director Nigel Watson 

will lead the expedition, saying 

it will be an unforgettable 

experience. 

“We have an incredible team 

on board this year. We can’t 

wait to share this journey as 

Antarctica has the power to

South New 

Brighton 

School gets 

garden grant 


SOUTH NEW Brighton School 

has received a $1000 grant to 

install a community garden on 

its grounds. 

The school was one of 30 from 

across New Zealand which 

received $25,000 between them 

from Countdown to go towards 

sustainability projects. 

The garden space will include 

a greenhouse made of plastic 

bottles, a shed, an orchard and 

a garden bed with fruit and vegetables 

selected by the pupils. 

Sustain South Brighton community 

activator Samantha Fay, 

who has two children – Ezra 

and Ella – at the school, submitted 

the successful funding 

application. 

Ms Fay said the garden will 

also include a 40m strip with 

fruit trees planted, owned and 

maintained by pupils’ families. 

Fruit and vegetables from the 

garden will be available for both 

pupils and the school’s neighbours 

to enjoy. 

Both groups will take joint 

responsibility for its upkeep, she 

said. 

Ms Fay said the garden will 

aim to promote healthy eating 

to pupils and be used for educational 

exercises. 

It would allow pupils “to grow 

something right from the start 

and then take it from garden to 

table,” she said.

NURSES ANITA van der 

Velden and Jane Yellowlees 

will soon be Rotorua-bound 

in a couple of classic Morris 

Minors. 

On April 15, the two will be 

travelling 850km in Myrtle, a 

67-year-old convertible, and 

Audrey, a 60-year-old saloon, 

to raise money for the New 

Zealand Spinal Trust. 

Burwood Spinal Unit registered 

nurse Ms Yellowlees will 

be at the wheel of Myrtle with 

her colleague Mrs van der 

Velden navigating. 

“We will be hurtling along 

with the wind in our hair,” 

said Mrs van der Velden. 

Mrs van der Velden’s husband 

is going to be driving 

Audrey, with their teenage son 

Metin as navigator. 

Knowing that she owned a 

“lovely Morris Minor,” Mrs 

van der Velden invited her 

colleague Ms Yellowlees to a 

classic car rally. 

Mrs van der Velden has 

worked at the spinal unit for 

nearly 20 years and Ms Yellowlees 

for six years. 

“Jane flippantly said she 

might drive her car, Myrtle, 

to the Morris Minor convention 

in Rotorua and I casually 

replied: ‘I will be your navigator’.” 

ROADIE: (From left) – Burwood Spinal Unit registered nurses Anita van der Velden and 

Jane Yellowlees, with Brian and Metin van der Velden. Their journey begins on April 15, 

leaving from Pukeko Junction, south of Amberley, and returning April 25.

“We are paying for the trip 

ourselves but hope to spread 

the word about the wonderful 

work the people of the 

New Zealand Spinal Trust 

are achieving and raise some 

much-needed funds in the 

process.” 

Mrs van der Velden said 

when she told her husband 

about their plans he wanted 

to go too. “But our two Morris 

Minors, Shrek and Monty, 

weren’t really up to it.” 

“I said to Brian: ‘Well we 

have got some money set aside 

to paint the house – why don’t 

we buy another Morrie instead?’ 

And so we got Audrey.” 

Mrs van der Velden said her 

uncle, who passed away a few 

years ago, spent many years in 

a wheelchair after sustaining a 

T4 level injury at work. 

“He was always helping 

others and is an inspiration 

to me. Compared to the 

challenges he faced, and the 

challenges that many with a 

spinal cord injury still face 

every day, any small hiccups 

along our little trip will be just 

a wee bump in the road.”

Diverse craft beers draw 

customers to local bar 

Offering an extensive selection of craft 

beers, the Twisted Hop in Ferry Road 

draws customers from a wide swathe of 

the city’s eastern and southern suburbs, 

who meet there to enjoy the variety and 

quality of beers and the friendly local vibe. 

Head barman Dustin has his eye on the 

ball when it comes to ‘limited editions’, 

introducing a constantly changing lineup 

of guest brews from New Zealand and 

overseas. 

The hazy IPAs (Indian Pale Ales) 

are especially on trend at present, with 

customers enjoying the distinctive ‘hoppy’ 

flavours, Dustin says. 

Cask ales are another favourite, the caskconditioned 

beers being produced using 

the old-school English method of brewing. 

The food at the Twisted Hop is equal to 

the beers in flavour and quality, with head 

chef Tada smoking and marinating the 

meats on site, and making preserves and 

chutneys from scratch, while sous chef 

Kura is known as the ‘Pork Ribs Queen’, 

for her melt-in-the-mouth ribs. 

The food is cooked tapas style and 

served as shared platters, which allows 

more flexibility of choice for diners. 

Live music adds another twist to the 

atmosphere at the Twisted Hop, with 

various artists performing at least twice a 

week. 

There is also a function room available 

for private parties and business meetings 

with catering to suit. 

The Twisted Hop’s 

annual Cider Fest 

is set for Saturday 

March 2, with 15 

extra taps delivering 

a range of ciders, while chef Tada has 

put together a special menu for the day 

with dishes to complement the ciders. 

Starting at 12 noon it will be a family 

day, plus there will be live music. Tickets 

can be purchased at the bar. 

The Twisted Hop is located at 616 

Ferry Road, Woolston. There is free 

parking at the rear, and a courtesy coach 

is being introduced within the next few

Arawa crowned NZ’s 

top canoe club 

SPORTS 

after big medal haul 

• By Gordon Findlater 

ARAWA CANOE Club have 

been crowned the top club in the 

country after capturing 22 gold 

medals at the NZ and Oceania 

canoe sprint championships on 

Lake Karapiro. 

The Kerrs Reach club collected 

65 medals in total, including 22 

gold, 25 silver and 18 bronze. 

They finished ahead of North 

Shore on 17 golds and Poverty 

Bay with 14 golds. 

“I just think we’ve got a really 

good group who feed off each 

other at the moment and are 

constantly pushing each other. 

They’re starting to get some 

results now,” said Arawa coach 

Paul Fidow. 

The club’s dominance was on 

show in the under-18 women’s 

division. In the under-18 K1 200 

A final, Arawa athletes made up 

seven of the nine starters. 

“To have that many from one 

club in an A final is pretty fantastic,” 

said Fidow. 

The biggest haul was made 

by Olivia Brett, who won five 

gold medals in the under-18 K1 

200, under-18 K1 500, under-18 

K2 200, under-18 K2 500 and 

under-18 K4 500. Brett also won 

a bronze medal in the K1 200 

under-23 Oceania championship 

category. 

She is now all but sure to 

represent New Zealand at the 

ICF junior and under-23 canoe 

sprint world championships in 

Romania in August. 

“I think she’ll have a really 

good crack at the world junior 

title this year,” said Fidow. 

Brett has some good genes 

– her father Steve won the 55 and 

over masters’ 1000m event. Her 

brother Stephen Brett also played 

39 games for the Crusaders in 

the late 2000s. 

There was also family success 

for sisters Ngariti and Isla 

Mackenzie. Ngariti won gold in 

the under-14 K1 200, under-14 

K2 200 and under-14 K4 200. 

Meanwhile, Isla won gold in the 

tyros division K1 100, K1 200 

and K1 500. 

While Arawa have been the 

nation’s dominant club in recent 

years, Fidow says they’re always 

looking at how to become 

stronger as they build up to 

defending their club title in 12 

months. 

TEAM WORK: Arawa’s under-18 K4 women’s teams won both 

the K4 200 and 500. 

DUO: Tilly Pritchard and Jessica Nisbett 

(above) teamed up to win silver in both 

the under-18 K2 200 and 500. 

DOMINANT: Pieta Luthi, Olivia Brett 

and Tilly Pritchard (right) completed

under-18 K1 200 and K1 500.

Plan to do up historic Kapuatohe houses 


• By Jess Gibson 

TWO HISTORIC Belfast 

properties will be rented by the 

city council. 

The city council will spend 

almost $400,000 renovating 

Kapuatohe Dwellings and 

Kapuatohe Cottage on Main 

North Rd. 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

members 

approved the 

city council’s 

recommendation 

to use the two 

buildings as 

residential 

Sam 

MacDonald 

properties last 

week. 

The $370,000 

restoration of 

the Kapuatohe Dwellings and 

$26,000 restoration of Kapuatohe 

Cottage was approved in 2017 

as part of a heritage repair and 

strengthening project in the city 

council’s Long Term Plan budget. 

However, community board 

chairman Sam MacDonald 

has raised concerns over the 

restoration costs. 

“There’s going to be a lot 

of money pumped into them 

and my concern is that it’s not 

going to stop with what’s been 

allocated,” said Mr MacDonald. 

He said the age of the buildings 

as well as compliance laws 

for rental properties, such as 

compulsory insulation from 

July 1, could mean city council 

staff end up asking the board for 

more money. “As long as they 

can be tenanted at market rate. 

It’s important that we maximise 

the return to the ratepayer 

or else we are just sitting on 

assets that provide no value,” 

HISTORY: The 

Kapuatohe 

Dwellings 

were used as a 

schoolhouse for 

teachers in 1878, 

while Kapuatohe 

Cottage (above) 

was built in 1912. 

said Mr MacDonald. “When 

the ratepayers are putting in 

money to historically significant 

buildings, they shouldn’t be 

restricted to the public all year 

round. During heritage week 

they should have a bit of access.” 

A 2010 management 

plan for Kapuatohe Reserve 

recommended the buildings 

are occupied so the temperature 

and moisture could be 

managed. 

During a public engagement 

process in March last year, 

one applicant’s interest in 

operating a business out of the 

Kapuatohe Dwellings was denied 

as it did not comply with the 

management plan. 

Both buildings were occupied 

by tenants before they were

Getting in 

We want to make sure everyone 

has a great time on the day, and 

that there’s nothing stopping you 

getting into the venue. So there 

are some important dos and don’ts 

that need to be followed. 

To make sure there are no 

surprises when you arrive, 

take a few minutes to read our 

Conditions of Entry. 

We recommend you aim to get to 

the venue well before the show 

starts to get yourself a good spot. 

Bus transport 

There will be five pick up locations 

around Christchurch and the 

surrounding suburbs for those who 

have pre-purchased bus tickets. 

Just remember you need to 

check in half an hour before 

the bus departs. 

Sorry but, due to high demand, 

almost all the prepaid bus tickets 

have been sold. BUT there is 

an excellent regular Metro bus 

service to Lincoln on the day 

which runs at regular intervals 

from Parklands through the city 

centre and on to Lincoln. 

Getting to 

Lincoln Domain 

& where to park 

Lincoln Domain is located at 

15 Meijer Drive Halswell, Lincoln. 

There will be parking at Lincoln 

High School on Boundary 

Road,which is just a short walk 

from the venue via a walkway. 

You can download a printable pdf 

of a map showing the location of 

the venue & park from our website: 

www.selwynsounds.co.nz 

Seating 

Zones 

We want everyone to have a great 

experience and be able to see our 

fantastic line up from their seats. 

So we have created three distinct 

zones at the venue – there will be 

no seating of any kind allowed at 

the front (but feel free to bring a 

picnic blanket), the next section 

will be low chairs only, and you 

are welcome to bring full height 

deckchairs for the deckchair zone. 

Thank you for your cooperation 

with this.

REAL ESTATE 

An unparalleled lifestyle in magical Moncks Bay 

242 Main Road, Redcliffs - “As-Is, Where-Is” 

Auction: Thursday, 14 March 2019 Unless Sold Prior 

4 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 3 living rooms | 1 office/study | 2 car-garage | 2 off-street parks | Listing Number SM0166 

Treasured by two generations and offering 

a truly once in a lifetime opportunity, this 

tantalizing home upon a 2853m2 section 

enjoys an overwhelming tranquil setting and 

is presented to the market on an uninsured 

“as-is, where-is” basis. 

Situated in the tightly held locale of magical 

Moncks Bay, this property makes a memorable 

first impression and was constructed in the 

1960s but has naturally received extensive 

modern enhancements including a Bruce 

Banbury architectural renovation in 2004. 

Resort-style serenity is provided by the 

colourful Clivias as well as the established 

greenery and palms trees that border the 

swimming and spa pool, with the outstanding 

views and majestic cliff face backdrop only 

escalating the property’s visual appeal. 

Spacious living areas are complemented 

by the sizeable Kwila deck, water feature 

and idyllic alfresco surroundings which 

have previously hosted a wedding and could 

continue to be the scene of many memorable 

occasions. 

Skylights, the superb use of timber, a 

contemporary colour scheme and the 

magnificent stone fireplaces create an 

incredibly inviting ambience indoors where 

you’ll find four double bedrooms, two 

bathrooms and a relaxing sunroom area that 

comes complete with a spa bath. 

With an expansive lawn area and the 

picturesque garden at the rear of the property 

both epitomise peace and privacy and offer 

access up to the top of the section where 

you can sit and admire the ocean vistas over 

Moncks Bay incorporating from Shag Rock 

and right along the Pegasus Bay coastline. 

This property can potentially be subdivided 

which furthers your options and adds 

another element of interest for buyers. 

Ensconced in a private lane that sits across 

from the waterfront, this property is also 

positioned to enjoy the area’s celebrated 

microclimate and is located within easy reach 

of the beaches, boating facilities, Barnett 

Park and the amenities in both Redcliffs and 

Sumner. 

With floors needing repiling and being sold 

uninsured, deemed uneconomical to repair, 

this unique “as-is, where-is” opportunity is a 

real game changer with the feel good factor 

and is guaranteed to attract attention. Your 

earliest viewing is advised. 

Open Homes: Wednesdays, Saturdays 

and Sundays 1:00pm - 1:45pm. 

See you at the open homes or for a private 

viewing or for more information contact 

Alison Carter of Harcourts Grenadier 

Ferrymead/Sumner (Licensed Agent REAA

Signatures are being co lected 

in a bid to get funding for a community

It comes after the city council 

removed funding for the centre

was the site of the former community 

centre, which was badly

The removal o funding 

prompted community board 

chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten 

to stand down, citing it as her “die

Ms Jone said the board’s role 

is to represen the community, 

and by gathering signatures from 

residents, it was fulfi ling that 

role. 

“One of the roles of a community 

board is to represent and act

• By Sarla Donovan 

THE OWNERS of Sumner’s Cave 

Rock Apartments ar expecting the 

Earthquake Commi sion to sign-off 

on a se tlement agr emen this w ek. 

Body corporate chairman Mike 

White said the group had gone 

into mediation with IAG and EQC 

on February 20, and signed off 

on a deal with IAG on February 

2 – coincidenta ly seven years 

to the day after the February 2, 

20 1, earthquake. However, they 

are waiting for EQC to sign the 

agr ement. 

“Given that EQC actua ly drafted 

the agr ement, there’ l be no 

problem with them doing that.” 

The apartment suffered damage 

in the February and June, 20 1, 

earthquakes and were demolished in 

late 2012. In 2016, IAG’s offer of the 

difference betw en indemnity value, 

$10 mi lion, and the sum insured, 

$16 mi lion, was rejected by the body 

corporate. 

The mediation agr ement 

prevented Mr White from disclosing 

the se tlement amount, but he said it 

involved the two parties paying “a bit 

more money than they’d wanted to 

earlier.”
