Doing it for his twin sister 

Nico’s race to 

raise suicide 

awareness 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

PARA-SWIMMER Nico 

Wildbore usually has his 

mind on winning in the pool. 

But today the 17-year-old 

will only be thinking of his 

twin sister Bethany, who 

tragically died of a suspected 

suicide last year. 

As part of World Suicide 

Prevention Day, Nico is 

set to swim 16km to raise 

money for the Mental Health 

Foundation. 

He wants people to talk 

about mental health and 

wishes more than anything 

his sister had opened up about 

what she was going through. 

“Obviously she had very 

bad depression, she was losing 

a lot of weight but she kept it 

private. I didn’t really know 

about it until everything 

happened,” he said.

•HAVE YOUR SAY: Do you think a right-turning bay should be installed on Main South 

Rd? Email your views to georgia.oconnor@starmedia.kiwi 

Intersection layout reconsidered 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

BUSINESSES frustrated by a 

lack of direct access into their 

shopping area may have their 

concerns eased. 

The Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community Board has 

asked for its original decision to 

ban vehicles from turning right 

or making U-turns on Main 

South Rd, opposite Harvard Ave 

to be reconsidered. 

RA Shearings Contractors 

director Bob Shearing, DA 

Lewis director Mark Lewis and 

Chipmunks Playland & Cafe 

Wigram business partner Dell 

Lu have been calling for a rightturning 

bay to be installed at the 

intersection. 

They made a presentation on 

behalf of other businesses in the 

area to the board recently asking 

it to reconsider a report made by 

city council staff. 

A new report made by city 

council staff concluded installing 

a right turning bay will have 

no benefit to improving the 

safety of motorists. 

It instead planned to improve 

road-marking improvements 

and re-enforce no right turn and 

no U-turn movements. 

City council staff were 

required to look into the issue 

after a petition of almost 150 

signatures was collected calling 

for a right-turning bay to 

be constructed in the area in 

February. 

Following the presentation of 

the report, the board asked the 

no right-turn and no U-turn 

sign to be reconsidered. 

Mr Shearing, a former city 

councillor, said he would have 

liked to have seen the board a 

bit more “forceful” in getting 

the signs removed and a rightturning 

bay installed. 

But he said: “At least we are 

still there and they can come 

back (city council staff) and 

hopefully something sensible 

can be made out of the situation 

and we will go back to the status 

quo.” 

Businesses had raised concerns 

in the past that patronage 

would decline due to customers 

travelling into Hornby being 

unable to directly access their 

business. 

In a presentation to the board 

recently, Mr Shearing said hundreds 

of vehicles need to make 

right turns and U-turns somewhere 

along this stretch of road. 

“Prior to the installation of

the signs in January these turns 

were spread between the four 

intersections, however, mostly 

were at the Harvard Ave intersection,” 

he said. 

He argued there was never a 

safety issue at the Harvard Ave 

intersection. 

New Zealand Transport 

Agency crash data one crash was 

recorded at the intersection. 

City council is expected to 

report back to the board in the 

coming weeks with the review 

to take into account road safety 

and the impacts on commercial 

businesses.

HALSWELL PONY CLUB 

The Halswell branch of the

The club has requested $2000 for 

the project from the Halswell-

Board.

mega-facility to go ahead, while 

Debbie Mora and Catherine Chu 

voted against several changes.” 

Western News wishes to clarify, 

as stated in the article, Helen

Charity shops seen as a rubbish dump 

• By Laura Hitchon 

PEOPLE ARE discarding 

damaged goods and other 

rubbish outside charity shops to 

avoid paying refuse station fees. 

Charity shop staff are turning 

up to work on Monday mornings 

to discover large piles of damaged 

goods lying on their front 

door step and, although some 

items are saleable, many are not. 

St John Opportunity Shop 

volunteer Brian North said many 

people dropped off the goods at 

their Addington store at night 

or during the weekend when the 

shop was closed. 

“We would prefer that people 

drop off their goods during the 

daytime when we are able to 

inspect them. 

“People think that just because 

they donate something, we will 

accept it but we need to be able 

to sell these items and if they’re 

damaged, we can’t,” he said. 

Salvation Army Family Store 

Hornby shop manager Terry 

Murray said some people genuinely 

believed the goods they 

were donating were in an acceptable 

condition but many people 

knew the goods were rubbish 

and donated them anyway. 

Damaged goods being donated 

included lounge suites, drawers, 

mattresses, tables, chairs,

(right) and volunteer Neville Walton stand next to the overflowing rubbish skip 

filled with donated goods they cannot sell. 

sporting equipment, crockery, 

glassware, artwork, books, clothing 

and shoes. 

The money generated from 

selling donated goods goes back 

into the charity to help people 

in need, however, this was being 

jeopardised by the cost of having 

to dump other people’s rubbish. 

Mr Murray said they emptied 

their skip about three times a 

week which cost them about 

$140 each time. 

“One of the biggest expenses 

we have is taking damaged 

goods to the dump.” 

Mr Murray said the cost of 

taking rubbish to the refuse 

station was a possible cause of 

people dumping their unwanted 

goods at charity shops. 

“Many people don’t own a 

trailer and can’t afford to hire 

one let alone afford to take their 

rubbish to the dump, so they just 

leave it on the charity’s doorstep,” 

he said. 

To dump one tonne of general 

waste, the EcoCentral website 

lists it at $253.40. 

WASTE: Salvation Army staff members Leane 

Robertson (left) and Karen White with dirty, 

stained and faded clothing. 

PHOTOS: LAURA HITCHON 

Mr Murray said it would be 

beneficial if the city council 

collected large waste from the 

charity once a month and subsidised 

the dumping fees to ease 

pressure. 

A city council spokesperson 

said they expected residents to 

dispose of their unwanted items 

responsibly and that people 

should only make donations to 

charity stores that are open, able 

and willing to take their items. 

The spokesperson said dumping 

damaged goods at charity 

bins or store fronts could be seen 

as illegal dumping and could 

incur a fine for the person disposing 

of the litter. 

“The kerbside collection 

service is a standard service 

funded by ratepayers and we 

are unable to provide additional 

services above the entitlement of 

a property.” 

The spokesperson said 

unwanted goods could be 

disposed of at one of three 

EcoDrop recycling centres across 

the city at a cost.

Templeton quarry 

A neighbourhood for 

the lucky few in the 

heart of Halswell 

Sections from $191,000 

cloverden.nz | 08004AVANDA 

plan runs into major stumbling block 

• By Georgia O’Connor- 

Harding 

FULTON HOGAN’S plan to 

open a controversial quarry in 

Templeton has hit a major road 

block. 

But the company is confident it 

can address the concerns raised 

by experts over its proposed 

170ha Roydon Quarry. 

Environment Canterbury and 

the Selwyn District Council are 

recommending the application 

to open the quarry is declined 

unless changes are made. 

Independently prepared 

Section 42A reports for the two 

authorities were released last 

week ahead 

of the quarry 

hearing due 

to start in 

November. 

Traffic 

issues, hours 

of operation 

and unclear 

Simon Moore 

plans on how 

Fulton Hogan 

will reduce 

major air pollutant PM10 

are key reasons behind the 

recommendation for the

Council have recommended consent for Fulton Hogan’s 

planned quarry in Templeton be declined.

application to be declined. 

But Fulton Hogan South Island 

general manager Craig Stewart 

said he is confident any technical 

concerns raised about traffic, 

hours of operation and dust can 

be addressed to the satisfaction 

of the community and decisionmakers. 

In a new development on top 

of the release of the reports, 

residents are unhappy some 

submitters will not have a say 

on the changes made last month 

by Fulton Hogan to its original 

application. The changes include 

amending its proposal from 

1500 heavy vehicle movements a 

day to a daily limit of 800 heavy 

vehicles. 

ECan and the district council 

will only accept submissions 

on whether the changes to the 

quarry application are significant 

enough that it should be treated 

as a completely new process. 

All submissions are required to 

be authored by legal counsel and 

are due on September 17. 

Only those who chose to speak 

at the hearing before the changes 

were made will have a chance 

to do so. Quarry opponent 

Simon Moore said it is “unfair” 

submitters who will not speak 

at the hearing will not have an 

opportunity to have a say on the 

changes. 

But he said if ECan and 

the district council are 

recommending the application 

be declined, it is a good outcome. 

His views are backed 

by Templeton Residents’ 

Association treasurer 

Jolene Eagar, who said 

the biggest item to 

come out of the report 

was the traffic concerns 

highlighted. 

As part of the 

Section 42A report, 

the district council’s 

recommendations 

were made by Andrew 

Henderson from 

independent engineering 

consultant Beca, while Incite 

resource management consultant 

Hannah Goslin was contracted 

by ECan. 

Mr Henderson said the 

application needs to have 

appropriate measures to avoid 

Jolene Eagar 

adverse effects arising from 

trucks queuing between the 

main trunk railway crossing and 

Main South Rd. 

This is a result of Fulton 

Hogan proposing to provide a 

vehicle access point from Jones 

Rd into the quarry, which is 

adjacent to Main South Rd. 

Mr Henderson’s other key 

concern is all activities proposed 

to occur between 8pm and 

6am at the quarry need to be 

removed. 

Incite resource 

management consultant 

Hannah Goslin said she 

has not been provided 

with enough information 

to show Fulton Hogan 

can reliably reduce the 

discharge of PM10 (a 

major air pollutant). 

“At this time, I do not 

consider the applicant 

is able to comply with 

Regulation 17(1) of the National 

Standards for Air Quality,” she 

said. 

Mr Stewart said Fulton Hogan 

is going over the detail of expert 

opinions and will be addressing 

this in its evidence, ongoing 

conversations and at the hearing.

Residents to 

lobby council 

for liquor policy 


RESIDENTS FIGHTING a 

long battle to stop an off-licence 

liquor store from opening in 

Halswell have been defeated. 

The Alcohol Regulatory and 

Licensing Authority dismissed 

an appeal by the Halswell 

Residents’ Association to allow 

Bottle-O Halswell to open a 

store at 29 Ensign St. 

In December, Bottle-O 

Halswell Ltd was granted an 

application to open the store, but 

the decision was appealed by the 

association. 

Halswell Residents’ Association 

secretary David Hawke said 

it knew the odds were stacked 

against it. 

“But we still felt it was worth 

giving it a go. Even though 

we lost we are still glad we attempted 

it,” he said. 

The association will now be 

working towards lobbying for 

the city council to develop its 

Local Alcohol Policy. 

Mr Hawke had previously 

said the drawn-out process has 

highlighted “significant deficiencies” 

in alcohol inspectors and 

the knowledge base of agencies 

and district licensing committee 

members. 

Panthers fan ‘stoked’ with chopper flight 


PAUL MATHESON has never 

flown in a helicopter before. 

But little did he know when 

he liked the Greater Hornby 

Residents’ Association Facebook 

page he would become the 

prizewinner of a free flight over 

the suburb. 

The association was running 

a competition with the 3000th 

person to like its page winning 

a free flight with Christchurch 

Helicopters. 

That 3000th person happened 

to be Mr Matheson. 

The only condition was the 

winner had to take photos of 

Hornby while hovering in the 

skies. 

Mr Matheson, who is the 

owner of pick-up and delivery 

service Man with a Van 

Christchurch, said it was an 

“awesome flight” and wanted 

to thank GHRA and 

Christchurch Helicopters for 

the opportunity. 

He said said he was “pretty 

stoked” as he didn’t even know 

the competition was running 

when he liked the page. 

Mr Matheson was slightly 

nervous having only ever flown 

in a microlite while in Rarotonga 

which was “a bit scary.” 

But his nerves were put to ease 

as he got to fly in a new model 

of the Guimbal Cabri G2 

helicopter. 

He described it as a “late 

birthday present” after turning 

50 in June. 

Mr Matheson joked it may 

upset a few Hornby residents, 

because he has lived in Halswell 

most of his life. 

His reason for liking the 

Facebook page was because he 

was an avid follower of rugby 

league and was interested in 

following the Hornby Panthers 

as part of Canterbury Rugby 

League’s grand final held 

recently. 

Playing for the Halswell 

Bowling Club, Mr Matheson 

said he knows the Hornby 

WMC Bowling Club, as he often 

competes against them.

Big swim in memory of twin sister 

•From page 1 

Nico decided to swim the 

gruelling distance to mark his 

sister being 16-years-old at the 

time of her death. 

For the past three years, 

Nico has been training at the 

Waitaha Swim Club, based at 

the Canterbury Swim School in 

Hornby, where the swim will be 

held today. 

Nico’s mother Keiran Horne 

said Bethany, who attended 

Hagley Community College, 

struggled following the February 

22, 2011, earthquake. 

She was located at Redcliffs 

School at the time of the quake. 

“You could imagine it was 

pretty traumatic with the cliffs 

coming down so for years after 

Beth had trouble sleeping. 

“She had been seeing a 

psychologist for sometime, she 

had been working on strategies to 

keep on an even keel. Then about 

a month before she died she just 

went on a downward spiral.” 

Ms Horne said she is 

immensely proud of Nico, who 

came up with the idea of the 

swim and organised the event 

himself. 

She said Bethany had a 

beautiful soul and was loved by 

many, but a lot of people didn’t 

realise the struggles she was 

ENDURANCE: Nico Wildbore is set to swim 16km today to raise awareness about the stigma 

attached to talking about mental health and suicide. 

going through. 

Ms Horne said there needs to 

be more education and talk about 

dealing mental health issues. 

“I have always been a really 

open communicator with my 

children, but when we had to 

start to deal with issues around 

mental health I actually really 

struggled to know how to talk 

about it in the best way.” 

The distance of the swim is a 

difficult undertaking for anyone, 

but especially for Nico. 

He was born with a type of 

cerebral palsy called hemiplegia, 

which means Nico has limited 

mobility in his right arm and leg. 

But Nico, who is transgender, is 

a high achiever. Last year he was 

named the best para-swimmer 

at the Canterbury secondary 

swimming championships. One 

of his big goals is to make it to the 

Paralympics and pave the way for 

other transgender people to do 

the same. 

Since his sister’s death, Nico 

said he has been coping as well as 

he can, but is taking it one day at 

a time. 

The spotlight is on mental 

health issues which are at an alltime 

high in Canterbury. 

Police statistics showed 4369 

attempted suicide events in 

Canterbury were reported in 

2018, up 59 per cent from 2015. 

Ms Horne said she wants 

people who may be feeling the 

way her daughter did to know 

there is always hope. 

WHERE TO GET HELP: 

If you are worried about 

your own or someone else’s 

mental health, visit your 

GP or local mental health 

provider. However, if you or

Successful new slant on popcorn 


FOUR LINWOOD College 

students have made their mark 

in the popcorn business after 

being recognised in a regional 

enterprise competition. 

PopCoin was named the 

winner of the Canterbury 

Young Enterprise Product 

launch recently, which was 

sponsored by Ara Institute of 

Canterbury. 

The business, which creates 

freshly flavoured popcorn was 

founded by year 13 students 

– Riccarton’s Eileen Prasad 

and Arnie Ferreras, New 

Brighton’s Tara Blackmore 

and Redcliff’s Meghan Kerr. 

The idea was formed 

after the students took part 

in the national Young Enterprise 

scheme – a programme 

aimed to inspire young people 

to become involved in business. 

As part of the scheme, their 

challenge was to create a business 

idea. The students were 

debating between a salad bowl 

or popcorn. 

After undertaking research, 

the students found there was a 

demand for popcorn. 

The students receive full 

profit from the business and 


have made $100 in the four 

months it has been running 

stalls for. 

They run stalls at ARA, New 

Brighton Seaside Market, The 

Riccarton Sunday Market and 

will be selling at Turanga on 

September 15. 

The flavours the students 

have created include savoury 

herb and cheese, salted caramel, 

chocolate popcorn and 

caramel banana. 

“We as a group have got a lot 

of interest in making food so 

we used our own knowledge 

and came up with the flavours,” 

Eileen said. 

Eileen, the mastermind 

behind the flavours, was last 

year’s winner of the National 

Secondary School Culinary 

Challenge. 

She is hoping to go into the 

hospitality industry either as a 

chef or management position 

or study business at Canterbury 

University. 

Each student plays an 

important role in the 

business with Arnie as the 

finance manager, Tara as the

Meghan as the production 

manager. 

Social studies teacher Richard 

Jolly said the product has 

been so well-crafted they have 

sold out every time they have 

gone to market. 

The quirky name for the 

business emerged after the 

students were joking around 

about the term “popcoin” 

which featured in a children’s 

cartoon called The Big Lez 

Show.

Chorus bound for New Orleans 

• By Claire Booker 

SINGERS IN the Christchurch 

City Chorus are packing their 

bags and warming up their 

voices for the Sweet Adelines 

World Championship in New 

Orleans. 

The group was founded in 

1985 and the women sing in a 

four-part harmony a capella 

style and have been national 

champions 11 times – but this 

time they are back representing 

the country on an international 

stage. 

The last time the group performed 

internationally was 2016 

in Las Vegas where they placed 

fifth and received the “most 

entertaining” award. 

The chorus is made up of 130 

women from across Christchurch, 

with members also 

hailing from Nelson, Dunedin, 

Invercargill, Palmerston North, 

Auckland and Australia. 

Ellie Sutton, of Cashmere, is 

one of the chorus members and 

said she is fizzing in anticipation 

of her first international contest. 

“We and our families have 

willingly sacrificed so much to 

get the fabulous Christchurch 

City Chorus to this point. New 

Orleans is the pinnacle of the 

journey we have taken together 

over the last couple of years and 

I can’t wait to show the rest of 

ENTERTAINING: The Christchurch City Chorus will head to 

New Orleans for the Sweet Adelines World Championship this 

week.

the SAI world what we can do,” 

she said. 

Papanui’s Nicky McCaughan 

is the group’s visual director, 

and she is in charge of the choreography 

and showmanship of 

the chorus. 

The chorus will fly to New 

Orleans this week, and the 

competition will run from September 

16 to 21. 

Redwood resident Sharyn 

Glassey is excited and feels 

“blessed” to be a part of the 

chorus. 

“Never in my wildest dreams 

did I ever think I would be representing 

our beautiful country 

in an international competition,” 

she said. 

Musical director Virginia 

Humphrey-Taylor said the chorus 

is excited for the thrill of 

representing New Zealand on 

the international stage. 

“It has taken three solid years 

of learning and performing 

songs to reach this pinnacle 

time. The chorus’ aim is to better 

our fifth placing in Las Vegas 

the last time we represented 

New Zealand in 2016,” she said. 

“It is exciting, extremely 

focused, intensely pleasurable 

work, right up until the moment 

on stage when they announce: 

‘We are ready for our next 

contestant, from Christchurch, 

New Zealand, under the 

direction of Virginia Humphrey- 

Taylor, the Christchurch City 

Chorus,’ I live for this moment 

in my life,” Ms Humphrey- 

Taylor said.

SPEED LIMITS in Yaldhurst are 

being reviewed. 

The city council is planning 

to lower the speed limits on 

Ryans, Pound and Hasketts Rds 

as well as in Yaldhurst Village to 

60km/h. 

The New Zealand Transport 

Agency is also be looking at 

decreasing the speed limit along 

State Highway 73 in the area. 

City council staff have spoken 

to residents and businesses about 

making the highway around 

Yaldhurst safer. 

There has been a lot of 

development in the area, both 

commercial and residential, and 

more pedestrians are present, 

especially around the intersection 

of SH73 and Sir John MacKenzie 

Ave. 

In the last 10 years, there were 

56 crashes. As a result of these 

crashes, there was one fatality

recommendations over speed 

limits. A recommendation on 

Ryans, Pound and Hasketts Rds, 

as well as Yaldhurst Village, will 

be made to the city council before 

final approval can be given. 

For State Highway 73, NZTA

MUSIC: Villa Maria College’s Con Brio has won a coveted silver award at The Big Sing Finale. 

Silver award for Villa singers 

VILLA MARIA College’s largest 

choir, Con Brio, has won a 

coveted silver award at The Big 

Sing Finale. 

The Big Sing is a nationwide 

choral competition, hosted 

by the New Zealand Choral 

Federation. 

It sees New Zealand’s 

secondary school choirs compete 

in regional contests, before a list 

of the best of the best is released. 

Those choirs are then invited 

to the televised national finale in 

search of gold, silver and bronze 

medals. 

Twenty-four choirs were selected 

for the finale. 

The finale was held in 

Dunedin and culminated in a 

gala concert. 

Con Brio is made up of 53 

girls from year 10 to year 13, 

who share a love of singing and 

performing. 

“I am enormously proud of the 

girls, they work incredibly hard 

throughout the year, and they 

just keep getting better,” said 

choral director Naomi Hnat. 

“The girls hold themselves to 

a very high standard and stretch 

themselves to continue to grow 

as a group. Some of the girls are 

more experienced than others, 

and it’s a pleasure to watch those 

students help to lead the group.” 

Ms Hnat said performing 

alongside other talented choirs 

from all around New Zealand is 

very special. 

“This year there were only 

four choirs from Canterbury 

selected for the finale, so we feel 

proud to be among the best in 

the region, and now we can say 

we are among the best in the 

country.” 


THE SEARCH for New 

Zealand’s top outdoor spot has 

been won by three Christchurch 

children. 

And one of those winners was 

Waimairi School year 6 pupil 

Lauren Hickmott. 

Lauren (right) won the art 

prize for her silhouette called 

Alone, which showcases the sense 

of solitude which comes from 

camping beneath the night sky. 

The annual competition is 

run by the Walking Access 

Commission, and entries were 

received from all over New 

Zealand. 

Pupils entered a photo, 

drawing, poem or short story 

relating to their favourite spot to 

win a prize pack. 

The competition aims to help 

teach children to understand 

responsible outdoor behaviour. 

The photo competition was 

won by Breens Intermediate year 

7 pupil Taylor Blackbourn, who 

entered a photo of the Te Paki 

sand dunes in Cape Reinga. 

Heathcote Valley School year 

6 pupil Matilda Scofield won the 

writing prize with her bilingual 

poem Sumner Pohutukawa. 

Matilda wrote the poem at 

her Write on School for Young 

Writers class. Her prize will be

were received from across the

“It was a surprise when we 

saw all the winning entries 

came from Christchurch. But 

Canterbury kids really embraced 

our competition this year and 

celebrated their love of exploring 

the outdoors.”

WINNERS: CGHS beat Dunedin’s St Hilda’s Collegiate to win the South 

Island Secondary Schools netball tournament final for the first time in 

51 years on Thursday. 

CGHS win netball title, Villa Maria third 


CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High 

have won the South Island 

Secondary Schools netball 

competition for the first time in 

51 years. 

CGHS beat Dunedin’s St 

Hilda’s Collegiate 29-27 in a 

nail-biting final which went into 

extra time at Saxton Stadium in 

Nelson on Thursday. 

Both teams now head to the 

nationals next month. 

CGHS stayed either level or 

in front throughout the A grade 

final. 

It was 9-9 after the first quarter 

and 12-12 at half-time until 

CGHS nudged ahead by two 

goals after the third quarter. 

At full-time, the teams were 

level again 26-26. In overtime, 

it see-sawed again as both sides 

fought hard for the two-goal 

advantage needed to take the 

title. 

South Island Secondary 

Schools Netball Association 

chairwoman Maggie Lloyd 

SPORT 

described the game as 

“fabulous.” 

“There was outstanding 

defence all throughout the court. 

The crowd swung from wanting 

one team to win to another team 

to win,” she said. 

Lloyd said CGHS goal shoot, 

Olivia McIntyre was “amazing”. 

CGHS co-captains Charlotte 

Knight and Shana Ali were 

named the talented players of the 

tournament. 

Lloyd said the reason for the 

low scoring final was because 

St Hilda’s played a patient game 

and looked to control the ball. 

The standard had improved 

compared to previous years, she 

said. 

CGHS went into the 

tournament ranked third, two 

places ahead of St Hilda’s. 

CGHS beat Ashburton College 

34-21 in the semi-final, and 

St Hilda’s knocked reigning 

champions Villa Maria College 

out of the running in the other 

semi. 

Villa beat Ashburton 39-30 for 

third, while St Margaret’s beat St 

Andrew’s College for fifth spot, 

36-34. 

CGHS, St Hilda’s, Villa 

Maria, Ashburton College 

and St Margaret’s qualified for 

the New Zealand Secondary 

Schools tournament in Nelson in 

October.

Tasty Bites 


WESTERN NEWS 

Exotic food with the least hassle 

If you are going to cook 

for a large dinner party, 

organisation and preparation 

are key, starting with 

working out a menu well 

ahead of the event. Try 

including this tasty Asianinfluenced 

starter to your 

list 

Tamarind chilli crispy-skin 

salmon with green mango 

herb salad 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

600g salmon fillets, cut into 4cm 

cubes, patted dry with paper 

towels 

Sea salt 

Fresh cracked black pepper 

Crispy shallots 

Oil 

Tamarind chilli dressing 

5-10g large dried red chillies 

2 cloves garlic, peeled, minced in 

a mortar and pestle with a pinch 

of salt 

5g belacan (shrimp paste) 

65g gula melaka, shaved 

25g tamarind pulp, soaked in 

150ml 

hot water, rendered and sieved 

1½ Tbsp lemon juice 

2 large kaffir lime leaves, finely 

julienned 

Green mango herb salad 

½ telegraph cucumber or one 

lebanese cucumber, unpeeled, 

shaved into ribbons 

1 green mango, peeled, shaved 

into ribbons 

1 small bunch coriander leaves 

1 small bunch Thai basil leaves 

2 wing beans, finely sliced 

Squeeze of lemon juice 

Pinch of sugar 

Olive oil 

Directions 

Season the fish with salt and 

pepper and a drizzle of oil. 

Place the soaked dried chillies 

and garlic in a food processor 

and blend until a fine paste. 

Heat two tablespoons of oil in 

a small saucepan over medium 

heat, add the shrimp paste and 

mash with a wooden spatula. 

Cook for 1min until the shrimp 

paste becomes fragrant and 

starts to toast. 

Add the chilli garlic paste 

and continue to cook, stirring 

frequently, until fragrant. 

Add the gula melaka and cook 

until dark, glossy and sticky. 

Slowly pour in the tamarind 

puree. Cook until slightly 

thickened, then stir in the lemon 

juice and sprinkle on the kaffir 

lime leaves. Remove from heat 

and set aside. 

Heat a non-stick fry pan over 

high heat. Place the fish pieces 

skin side down evenly around 

the pan and cook until crisp and 

golden. 

To ensure that the skin is 

evenly crispy, you may need to 

gently press with a spatula to 

keep the skin flat on the pan. 

Turn over, and cook the other 

side until three-quarter cooked. 

Pour over the tamarind chilli 

sauce and toss very gently to just 

coat. Be careful not to break up 

the fish pieces. 

Combine the salad ingredients, 

and dress with lemon juice, 

sugar and olive oil just before 

serving. 

Transfer the fish to a serving 

plate along with all the sauce 

and top with the green mango, 

cucumber and herb salad. 

Sprinkle with crispy shallots and 

serve immediately. 

Note: Adjust the quantity 

of the large, red dried chillies 

according to your taste. Also, 

leave the seeds in if you like 

the dish extra spicy, otherwise, 

deseed them. 

In any case, soak the chillies in 

hot water until softened before 

using them.

REAL ESTATE 

Private, peaceful 

Purau rural retreat 

52 Purau Port Levy Road, Purau Valley, Lyttelton Harbour 

Price: $850,000 plus GST if any 

2 bedrooms | 1 bathroom | 2 living rooms | 13ha | Listing Number: 9736 

Seldom do properties such as this come 

to the market but retiring vendors of 30 

years have decided the time has come. 

This is a wonderful location, peaceful 

and private with wonderful bird song. Set 

on 13.1369 hectares or 32.5 acres approx. 

this charming 100m 2 home is both easycare 

and warm. Commanding beautiful 

views of the Purau Valley, Purau Bay and 

Mt Evans, if you are looking for peace and 

privacy then this one could be for you. 

Set well off the road the house has 

two double bedrooms, two living areas, 

lovely decking and one bathroom. North 

East facing and sheltered with a garage/ 

workshop adjacent to the house. The 

garden is easy care and the land is a 

mixture of pasture in five paddocks for 

grazing, some bush and about 250 approx. 

30 year old pine trees ready for harvesting. 

The property is well fenced and has an 

excellent water supply, a small stream and 

a natural pond. Further down the driveway 

there is a set of yards, a four bay implement 

shed, a tractor shed with high stud and a 

large high stud workshop with three phase 

power. There is also a semi derelict house 

from about the 1930s on the property. 

This is an idyllic location and perfect for 

a retiring farmer, someone wanting to get 

into the firewood business or someone with 

a portable mill to make use of all the trees. 

Purau Bay is approximately 30 minutes’ 

drive from Christchurch, making it a 

highly desirable destination as it is so 

useable being close to Christchurch. 

Properties in this lovely valley and by such 

a safe swimming beach are defying all the 

odds and selling fast generally as they come 

up very seldom. 

Excellent swimming, boating, walking 

and stunning sunsets on the hills, quick 

and easy access to Lyttelton via the 

Diamond Harbour ferry (approx. five 

mins), local shops, cafés and bar make this 

a fun filled place to visit. Properties here 

make an excellent investment and Purau 

Bay and valley is a truly magical place to 

live.
