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
• By Matt Slaughter
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
• By Matt Slaughter
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.

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

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
repaired by insurance.

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.
“I’d say it’s opportunist vandals

Mr Chappell said.

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

“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
• By Matt Slaughter
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 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

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.

It was not uncommon for these
campers to leave piles of rubbish
and human waste behind, Ms
Money said.
“They’ll put their rubbish out
beside their vans in the car parks
and then they’ll just take off.”
She said it was common for
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.”
The city council spokesperson
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.”
The city council spokesperson
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
we also have to look after our

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

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

different to the polar conditions
in Antarctica, and one of the
expedition’s biggest challenges
will be managing the extreme

I’ll get my layering techniques

“My message will be focused

what opens our eyes and make
us appreciate life.”

South New
Brighton
School gets
garden grant
• By Matt Slaughter
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.
PHOTO: LEO MCCONCHIE
“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
weeks.

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
the podium for Arawa in the women’s
under-18 K1 200 and K1 500.

Plan to do up historic Kapuatohe houses
Fire rages, homes at risk
• 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
damaged in the February 22,
2011, earthquake.

take a few minutes to read our

We recommend you aim to get to

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

THE PAPANUI-I nes
Community Board has taken the
rare step of starting a petition
to figh the city council over
funding.
Signatures are being co lected
in a bid to get funding for a community
facility in Shirley.
It comes after the city council
removed funding for the centre
pla ned for Shirley Rd, near the
intersection with Hi ls Rd. This
was the site of the former community
centre, which was badly
damaged in the February 2,
20 1, earthquake.
The removal o funding
prompted community board
chairwoman Ali Jones to threaten
to stand down, citing it as her “die
in the ditch” project.
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
as advocate for the interests of its
community and this is what we
are doing. The LTP and a nual
plans are a l about lo bying the

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.”
