Halswell 

bottle 

store plan 

shelved 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A LIQUOR company has pulled 

its plan to open an off-licence 

store in Halswell’s Ensign St. 

Bottle-O Halswell Ltd director 

and shareholder Wendy Gibbons 

told Southern View it has 

cancelled its contract to purchase 

a shop in The Oaks Village 

Halswell complex. 

The company 

was granted an 

application to 

open an off-licence 

liquor store at 

29 Ensign St in 

December. 

However, the 

Halswell Residents’ 

Association 

appealed the decision to the 

John 

Bennett 

Alcohol Regulatory and Licensing 

Authority last month. 

The application made by 

Mrs Gibbons and her husband, 

Richard, received 37 objections 

along with five petitions 

containing 32 signatures in 

opposition to the store. 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston said 

the alcohol licensing team has 

had no formal communication 

that the application has been 

withdrawn. •Turn to page 4

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 5 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.

Fire rages, homes at risk 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

A SPAT HAS broken out 

between two Facebook 

community pages in Halswell. 

Resident Greig Russell has hit 

out at the administrators of the 

Halswell Community Group 

page for being “ousted” from 

the group of 

nearly 11,000 

members for 

speaking his 

mind. 

He was 

removed from 

the page when 

he posted a 

Chrys Horn 

mobile phone 

number online. 

Mr Russell since set up a new 

page called Halswell Community 

Page Uncensored with a 

catchphrase of #LETSMAKE- 

HALSWELLGREATAGAIN 

“They ousted me out of the 

community. Short of pitchforks 

and tiki torches that is what they 

have done,” he said. 

Mr Russell was returning 

home from a fishing trip in Greta 

Valley when he came across a 

group of men stranded due to 

having a flat tyre. He lent the 

men his spare wheel to enable 

them to get home and got one of 

their mobile numbers. Mr Russell 

said the men had promised 

to return the spare wheel the 

next day, but nothing eventuated 

and they would not return 

his phone calls and blocked his 

number. To pressure the man, he 

asked members of the Halswell 

Community Group to phone the 

number and ask for the wheel’s 

return. It was returned after 

about a week. 

But Halswell Community Project 

chairwoman and one of the 

administrators Chrys Horn said 

it was harassment and would not 

be tolerated. 

“The trouble is people put up 

stuff and they make allegations. 

We have had quite a few times 

that has happened and the poor 

person on the receiving end has 

no idea what was going on”. 

But Mr Russell responded 

saying it “absolutely” was not 

harassment. He said he did

something about his wheel being 

stolen and he got a result. 

“Someone was trying to rip 

me off. You put yourself in my 

situation. You have got a phone 

number that is all you have got. 

What are you meant to do if they 

block you?” 

He said there is no consistency 

in the Halswell Community 

Group rules and if posts up not 

up to their dictation they will 

shut it down. 

But Dr Horn said it is the 

Halswell Community Project’s 

page and it has clear rules people 

need to follow. 

“If people step outside those 

and they don’t take no or an 

answer then we block them and 

that is just the way the world 

works. 

“Dr Horn said it is a large 

group to monitor and because 

the administrators have a lot 

going on in their lives, they do 

not always catch posts breaking 

their rules right away. The group 

has a wide range of policies 

including group members being 

unable to advertise businesses, 

abuse or make racial comments, 

complain about organisations 

or make posts containing sexual 

references or innuendo. On the 

Halswell Community Page Uncensored 

Mr Russell said as long 

as people “keep it civil” they will 

not get shut down. 

Dr Horn said the group doesn’t 

bare many grudges and she 

would like to reinstate Mr Russell 

when things settle down and 

if the other administrators agree. 

But she said several of the 

administrators on the Halswell 

Community Group have been 

blocked from the Halswell 

Community Page Uncensored.

Antarctica 

Bottle store plan shelved 

on a kayak 

•From page 1 

They will travel to Antarctica, via 

South America on a One Oceans 

Expeditions vessel. Once there, 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 the 

nature of the expedition, 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. 

•From page 1 

“The application remains 

under appeal unless formally 

withdrawn by the applicant,” 

she said. 

The Oaks Village Halswell 

developer Roger Bridge would 

not comment on whether the 

contract to purchase the bottle 

store has been cancelled. 

Residents’ association 

chairman John Bennett 

described the news as “a bolt of 

lightning.” 

He said it was getting 

organised for the appeal but the 

hearing wasn’t until late May. 

“The community was 

definitely not in favour of the 

bottle store. If that is the case 

they will be very happy,” Mr 

Bennett said. 

Mrs Gibbons said if the 

application had proceeded 

she would have appealed the 

opening hours of 9am-11pm 

daily. Mrs Gibbons said it 

was very satisfying to see the 

application was granted, and 

the initial licence and ruling 

acknowledged they are good 

operators. The decision granting 

the application said Mr and Mrs 

Gibbons had the experience to 

safely sell alcohol. 

“The information we received

• 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 

Kim Money 

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. 

It was not uncommon for these 

campers to leave piles of rubbish 

and human waste behind, Ms 

Money said. 

PROBLEMS: Freedom campers along Marine Pde are causing issues. 

“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 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,

said it had 26 enforcement officers 

with the authority to hand 

out freedom camping fines, but 

only four were rostered on across 

Christchurch on a typical day. 

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 

we also have to look after our 

residents and our spaces and 

our environment, so to do that, 

we just have to send a clear 

message that they need to be 

responsible and respectful to our 

communities.”

Let Her Fly - A Father’s Journey and 

the Fight for Equality 

by Ziauddin yousafzai 

The story of the father who inspired the phenomenon 

Let Her Fly traces the inspirational journey of Malala Yousafzai’s 

father, Ziauddin, from a boy in Shangla to a man who broke with 

tradition and proves there are many faces of feminism. With humor 

and sincerity, Yousafzai describes his life before the Talibanization 

of Mingora, scenes of his sons Khusal and Atal fighting kites on the 

roof, his progressive partnership with his wife Toor Pekai, and the 

challenge of raising children in an unfamiliar country. After Malala 

was shot by the Taliban, the Yousafzai family was completely 

uprooted from their home in the Swat Valley and forced to start over 

in the United Kingdom. Now, Ziauddin expresses the complex pain 

and joy of his return, six years later, to the site of Malala’s attack. 

Let Her Fly is an intimate family portrait by the father of one of the most remarkable leaders in the 

world today. Ziauddin and Toor Pakai have set a singular example for parents who hope to empower 

their children to make a difference. Let Her Fly will resonate with anyone who has ever cared for a 

child, as Ziauddin Yousafzai shares what he’s learned from his children, and what he hopes to teach 

the world. 

The Great Wide Open 

By douglas Kennedy 

It’s 1980s New York. Heady, excessive times. Alice Burns - a 

young book editor - is deep into a manuscript about the morass of 

family life. The observations resonates, perhaps because she has 

just watched her own family implode. As she reads she wonders: 

When did the sadness start? And could it be that unhappiness is 

a choice? Thus begins a great American epic which follows Alice 

as she navigates high school bullying, first love and sexism at an 

elite college, a spell in 1970’s Ireland, and a tragedy that sends her 

stateside as the US embraces a cowboy actor named Reagan. But it 

is also the tale of her endlessly complex parents and brothers; how 

their destinies are written by the lies they tell themselves and others. 

The Great Wide Open is an immensely ambitious and compulsive 

saga; a novel which will speak volumes to anyone who has 

marvelled at that pain that can only be caused by family itself.

Annelies – A novel By david r. Gillham 

A powerful and deeply humane new novel that asks the question: 

What if Anne Frank survived the Holocaust? 

The year is 1945, and Anne Frank is sixteen years old. Having 

survived the concentration camps, but lost her mother and sister, she 

reunites with her father, Pim, in newly liberated Amsterdam. But it’s 

not as easy to fit the pieces of their life back together. Anne is adrift, 

haunted by the ghosts of the horrors they experienced, while Pim is 

fixated on returning to normalcy. Her beloved diary has been lost, 

and her dreams of becoming a writer seem distant and pointless 

now. 

As Anne struggles to overcome the brutality of memory and 

build a new life for herself, she grapples with heartbreak, grief, 

and ultimately the freedom of forgiveness. A story of trauma and 

redemption, Annelies honors Anne Frank’s legacy as not only a 

symbol of hope and perseverance, but also a complex young woman of great ambition and heart. 

Anne Frank is a cultural icon whose diary painted a vivid picture of the Holocaust and made her an 

image of humanity in one of history’s darkest moments. But she was also a person—a precocious 

young girl with a rich inner life and tremendous skill as a writer. In this masterful new novel, David R. 

Gillham explores with breathtaking empathy the woman—and the writer—she might have become.

SPEED LIMIT changes on roads 

around the new Shirley Boys’

site in QE II Park will not go far 

enough to keep students safe, 

some say.

However, Avon-Otakaro

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.

“Even high school kids on

those roundabouts is just an

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

However, NZTA senior traffic

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

The draft plan features native 

trees, sealed parking areas, 

an established picnic area and 

improved access to the beach and 

boat ramps. 

It is open for public consultation 

until March 11. Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board 

member Darrell Latham said 

$145,000 will be available for the 

park. 

“This will not be enough to 

complete the entire project. However, 

it will mean that a start can 

be made on the most important 

aspects of the plan,” he said. 

“From my perspective, I would 

really like to see the access from 

the Ferrymead bridge to the 

jetty and planting and green space 

enhancements done.” 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge said the plan 

would regenerate and enhance the 

popular park by improving water 

access. 

“Scott Park already meets multiple 

community needs, particularly 

with regard to recreational 

water activities, but we want to 

ensure that the area is well-placed 

to meet future use,” Mr Rutledge 

said.

Boxing gym’s 

future a lot 

David Cox supported 

people in a quiet way 

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. 

Jamie 

Roberts 

A-Town have 

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 

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. 

Port Hills MP 

Ruth Dyson 

pays tribute 

to former city 

councillor 

and Hagley- 

Ferrymead 

Community 

Board member David Cox 

WE ARE very fortunate in New 

Zealand to have so many people 

in our communities who are 

“givers” – whether it’s people who 

serve on school boards, coaches 

and referees of our sports teams, 

people who run our residents 

and community associations, 

or people who visit and support 

those who are otherwise isolated 

in their homes. 

It’s part of our culture that 

should be celebrated. 

The celebration of that 

community giving was the theme 

at the funeral service for David 

Cox, whose passing Southern 

View acknowledged. 

David had an “ABCs” of giving 

– arts, business, community and 

sports. He supported so much 

within our area and the wider 

David Cox 

Canterbury community – driven 

by a sense of returning to our 

country, his adopted home – 

because he felt so fortunate to be 

able to make this his home. 

This drive made me reflect on 

how much we take for granted if 

we were born here and how much 

we should actually value what we 

have as New Zealanders. 

We have access to so many 

opportunities here that many 

from other countries dream 

about – we should make the most 

of them. 

I want to add my reflections 

on the life that David Cox lived 

and celebrate the fact he had 

this drive of returning his good 

fortune. So many organisations 

and individuals benefitted from 

his generosity of time and spirit. 

He supported so many people in 

a quiet way, connecting people 

and groups, and always with a 

manner of impeccable respect 

and politeness. 

At his funeral, our mayor 

reflected on the demise of these 

manners with the advent of 

social media, where hurtful 

and unnecessary comments are 

accepted. 

But I am not as despairing as 

her words, as I see the continued 

community activity and others 

who have followed in the example 

set by David Cox. We are all 

better off when we give our time 

and skills to our community. 

May his family be comforted 

in their loss and may he rest in 

peace.

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.

Tasty Middle Eastern takeaways 

a popular choice in Halswell 

Now firmly established as one of 

Halswell’s most popular takeaway food 

outlets, Souvlaki King offers an extensive 

range of authentic Middle Eastern food 

that’s fresh, healthy and delicious. 

In the last few weeks they have introduced 

two new items to the menu, offering even 

more choice for customers. These are the $11 

Snack Box, which comprises scrumptious 

hot chips with lamb, beef, chicken, falafel 

or mixed, topped with cheese and barbeque 

sauce or your choice of chili sauce, and the 

traditional Shawarma, which is a roll filled 

with meat, vegetarian falafel or feta cheese, 

and topped with barbeque or your choice 

of chili sauce. This is also $11, or $14 with 

hot chips. 

Both these items are proving very popular 

for lunch, the business owners say. 

The souvlakis are available in three 

portion sizes – small, large or triple, with 

a choice of chicken, lamb, beef, kofta or 

falafel and served with coleslaw, lettuce, 

tzatziki, hummus and your choice of chili 

or barbeque sauce. 

All ingredients used at 

Souvlaki King are sourced 

locally to ensure freshness and 

quality, including the meats, 

which are supplied by the local 

butchery. 

The falafel is freshly prepared 

every day to their own secret recipe, 

and is another very popular item, 

even for non-vegetarian customers, 

and all the salads and sauces are 

prepared on the premises every day. 

For a sweet taste, they offer the traditional 

baklava, and cake slices, 

while beverages 

include a selection 

of coffees, teas, hot 

chocolate, milk shakes 

and thick shakes. 

Souvlaki King has just 

launched its website, www. 

souvlakiking.nz, so you can 

now order online and your 

food will be ready to pick up 

and pay for when you arrive. 

You can also order by phone,

are some important dos and don’ts 

that need to be followed. 

To make sure there are no 

surprises when you arrive,

We recommend you aim to get to

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

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

Cosmetic dentistry with a 

personal approach 

A smile that has been improved and enhanced with 

cosmetic dentistry treatment can have a significant 

and positive effect on a person’s self-confidence in any 

situation – whether social or business. 

That’s where Smile Concepts in Colombo Street, 

Sydenham comes into the picture. Offering a personal 

approach to dentistry, the experienced team at Smile 

Concepts provides a full range of cosmetic dental 

treatments, including colour restoration, veneers, bridges, 

crowns, dental implants and teeth whitening. 

For teeth whitening they use the sought-after Zoom 

whitening system, currently one of the most effective and 

safest methods available on the market. Opalescence is 

another in-office whitening system, and Smile Concepts 

offers this very popular take-home whitening system to 

accommodate patients’ busy lifestyles and budget. 

For anyone seeking cosmetic treatment they offer 

advice on the best and most reasonably priced options, 

but ultimately it is the patient’s decision as to what 

treatment is given. 

In addition to cosmetic dentistry, Smile Concepts 

provides full and partial dentures as well as the full 

range of general dentistry treatment at reasonable prices, 

including root canals and wisdom teeth extraction. 

They also provide dental care services for children and 

adolescents with special needs. 

For nervous patients, they provide conscious sedation 

(either oral sedation or ‘laughing gas’), making the 

process a lot less stressful, and with their emphasis on 

preventative dentistry they recommend regular checkups 

to eliminate major problems occurring. Emergency 

appointments are available at short notice. 

Smile Concepts’ dental hygienist helps to keep gums 

healthy, and by following her advice on healthy oral habits 

you will keep your teeth and gums in good condition 

between visits. New patients are welcome. 

Smile Concepts is proud to work with the local 

community, supporting initiatives such as Child Safety 

Awareness Programmes, the Special Children’s Christmas 

Party and is a regular donor to the University of 

Canterbury Foundation. 

To find out about the full range of services they offer, 

visit their website at www.smileconcepts.co.nz or call 

them on (03) 332 6399 to make an appointment. 

They are located at 104 Colombo Street, Sydenham, 

with ample parking available and a bus stop close by.

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 

council.”

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.”
