Road closure ‘unfair’ says
four-wheel-drive enthusiast
• By Matt Slaughter
A FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE enthusiast
has a message for people calling
for the closure of tracks in South
Christchurch – ‘‘give us a chance.’’
North Canterbury 4WD Club
member Trevor Taylor says the city
council’s decision to install a gate
blocking off Worsley’s Track to
vehicles without consultation was
not fair and people should have been
consulted.
But city council transport operations
manager Steffan Thomas said
consultation was not required on this
occasion.
“The closure of Worsleys Rd was
undertaken through the use of a temporary
traffic management plan. This
closure was notified by pre-warning
signage on-site, as is required for
temporary closures. As this is not a
permanent closure, consultation as
per road stopping process was not
needed.”
Mr Thomas said Worsley’s Track
will be closed to cars and motorcycles
until late August next year
“due to concerns about fire risk.”
Southern View reported last month
Huntsbury Ave resident David
Drayton wants the city council to
do more to stop four-wheel-drive
vehicles damaging the Bownvale
Reserve track and endangering
walkers and cyclists.

STALLED: Trevor Taylor says calls from people such as David Drayton (inset) to close four-wheel-drive tracks are unfair on
responsible four-wheel-drive vehicle users.

Wheelchair user issues at Nga Puna Wai
• By Matt Slaughter
CONCERNS HAVE been raised
about accessibility issues for
wheelchair users at Nga Puna
Wai.
The city council say it is aware
of these concerns and will put
in place measures to improve
accessibility.
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman Karolin
Potter said wheelchair access at
the venue is not
good enough
and the rest
of the board
agrees.
Ms Potter
brought to the
David Bailey
board a wheelchair
user’s
concerns about
having trouble seeing when they
use the wheelchair seating areas
at the venue to watch sport.
For wheelchair users, Ms Potter
said: “The fence around the field is
at their eyeline or just below it, so
you’re either looking through wire
netting or you’re looking at the
fence post along the top rail.”
Ms Potter who used to work
for the Human Rights Commission
said this is not good
enough.
“My experience over the years
is that we fail and fail and fail
again on the issue of disability
access. Nga Puna Wai is brand
new and this made me feel more
angry than I could possibly discuss
with you about this issue.
It’s just outrageous.”
The board has asked city council
staff to investigate accessibility
issues at Nga Puna Wai, including
introducing space for spectators
in wheelchairs to have an unobstructed
view of the sports fields.
Said city council manager of
recreation and sports facilities
David Bailey: “We value the
concerns and have investigated
one complaint about the hockey
wheelchair spectator area not
being accessible. In this instance,
the limited access was due to
temporary fencing incorrectly
closing off the area. The issue was
rectified on the same day.”
Ms Potter said some of the
wheelchair seating at Nga Puna
Wai is separated from the other
spectator areas with little shelter
from the elements.
Said Mr Bailey: “Within the
covered spectator seating for
hockey there are dedicated
spaces at the top of the stand
for people who use wheelchairs.
Fixed seats are below this
viewing platform for other
spectators. The covered seating
provides some protection from

the weather, specifically rain.
The rear and sides of the
stand provide some wind
protection.”
Ms Potter said accessibility
and inclusiveness at the facility
has to be improved.
“The premise is, is that everything
we do should be just like
an open door, it should be built
for everyone.”
Mr Bailey said the city
council’s current plans to
improve accessibility at Nga
Puna Wai will involve installing
“improved signage directing
wheelchair users to the
accessible viewing stands.”
In Brief
SCHOOL LOCKDOWN
Police had Bamford School in
Woolston in lockdown after
a life-threatening incident at
a neighbouring property on
Wednesday. Gould Cres was
cordoned off and the school was
placed in lockdown at about 3pm.
Parents picking their children
up were made to wait outside the
cordon. A police spokeswoman
said there was a large police
presence at the address, including
the armed offenders squad. The
lockdown was lifted at about 5pm.
STREET NAMED
Mamuku Lane has been chosen
as the name for a street in a new
Huntsbury subdivision. The name
was approved by the Spreydon-
Cashmere Community Board.
GRANTS FOR STUDENTS
Three Woolston students
have received grants towards
upcoming trips. The Linwood-
Central-Heathcote Community
Board has approved $150 towards
Haeata Community Campus
student Haddasah Timo’s trip

Bus stop
shift to
increase
accessibility
• By Matt Slaughter
A BUS stop on Lyttelton St
will be shifted to make it more
accessible for buses and people.
The bus stop will move from
its current location beside
145 Lyttelton St just slightly
further along the road beside 2
Hennessy Pl.
When cars occupy parking
spaces around the bus stop,
there is not enough space for
buses to pull into it and stop
parallel to the boarding area.
When these parks are used,
this also limits how accessible it
is for people.
The existing bus stop is also
21m away from the boarding
area, adding to access challenges.
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman Karolin
Potter said moving the bus stop
about 50m down will hopefully
address these issues.
“It really was about the current
bus stop not being legally large
enough for buses to get in and
out of properly and that was
going to cause a problem at
some stage,” she said.
Healthy Heathcote aim of young
YOUNG PEOPLE from schools
and early learning centres are
asked to take action to create a
healthy Heathcote River.
The pilot project is a collaborative
community approach to conservation
education that aims to
connect students along the river.
City council parks programmes
and

manager Kate
Russell said
the project
aims to establish
a blueprint
Kate Russell
for student action
to power
environmental change within
the Heathcote River.
“We are looking to these young
people as the protectors of their
local river environment and hope
to expand this approach further
afield,” Ms Russell said.
Supported by city council education
co-ordinator Sally Airey,
the project encourages young
people to take “guardianship” of
the Heathcote River.
“The river suffers from ‘urban
stream syndrome’ and has poor
water quality,” Ms Airey said.
“We are inviting young people
to lead community action to help
create a healthy awa [river].”

Conservation, said the initial
project title – Healthy Ōpāwaho
– expresses the “connection
between a healthy river and a
healthy community.”
However, she expects a new
student leadership team to come
up with a new name, vision and
measurable goals for the project.
“Initially, I will be directly
working with interested students
and teachers from a handful of
the 100 schools and early learning
centres that are within one
kilometre of the awa,” she said.
“As the group develops and
connections are made between
schools, we hope even more
schools and early learning centres
will be involved.”
The project aims to inspire
hundreds of young people to
take action for a healthy river,
building on individual projects
already under way in the area.

With the community board terms nearing their end, Spreydon Cashmere Community Board chairwoman Karolin Potter and
board member Helene Mautner reflect on the board’s achievements over the last three years
Supporting community initiatives
WE SUPPORT community
initiatives small and large
including removing the righthand
turn out of Barrington
Mall and rejecting traffic
proposals on Wilsons Rd that
would have facilitated a right
hand turn out of St Martins New
World car park -both for reasons
of safety.
We support cycleways. We
also know our city is comparatively
calm and peaceful in the
school holidays and for this to be
the norm we must make cycling
safe for our children and adults.
We have supported traffic
measures around schools and
they range from simple speed
signs on Tennyson St to more
elaborate measures outside
schools on busy roads such as
West Spreydon, Hoon Hay and
Hillview. We approve bus stops
and changes to parking.
We applaud our residents at
functions such as the Spreydon
Cashmere Service and Youth
Service Awards, Community
Garden Pride Awards and the
Edible Garden Awards. Every
year we recognise the commitment
of hundreds of people in
our wards to their community
in casual ceremonies.
Karolin Potter
We contribute small sums of
money to our communities. The
funds range from the Strengthening
Communities Fund which
contributes to the work being
done in our community by
organisations such as Manuka
Cottage, Rowley Resource Centre,
Sharp Crossover Trust and
Project Esther. Then there is the
Discretionary Fund which contributes
to sports and cultural
organisations and other initiatives
such as volunteer cycle
repair in Spreydon and bus trip
for older people in St Martins.
We support the Pacific Series
a rugby league competition and
we have the Hoon Hay Fiesta
a celebration of culture. We
support a community pantry, a
drinking fountain, a picnic table
and environmental projects such
as Beckenham School putting
signs up on the river asking
people to care about their environment,
We have huge projects
including flood protection
measures. We are involved in
the environmental issues led by
the Opawaho River Network,
The Summit Road Society, the
Cashmere Stream Care Group
and the Port Hills Trust Board.
We have the Give Gear Get

bins in our libraries and schools,
to get sports equipment out of
wardrobes and to kids with not

We also have the Old Stone

The Spreydon Cashmere Community
Board has actively and

We’ve stood in supermarkets,

adults, we’ve held regular open
community workshop evenings
on transport and environmental
issues.
We have actively, and without

Very often, solving small local

Villa’s budding business bosses
VILLA MARIA College
students have had the
opportunity to be business
bosses, putting their business
knowledge into practice at the
school’s market day.
Year 10 commerce students
including Beckenham’s Katie
McHerron were challenged to
create a product and a food item
and sell to the college community
recently.
“My favourite part was
presenting our prototype and
receiving the feedback so we
could improve our product before
market day. I’m excited to be
selling our coffee cups and cake
mixes at the market and also
helping out our chosen charity,”
said Katie.
“We had to choose products to
sell, identify the unique selling
point, develop a business plan,
make prototypes and work on
our marketing skills,” said year
10 student Kyra Clarkson, whose
group is called Super Mugs.
“We decided to sell reusable
coffee cups, filled with a readyto-bake
cake mix and cookie
dough.”
Fellow student Keito Yoshida
added: “We focussed on creating
a product that was sustainable
and environmentally friendly,
and encourages people to reuse

their cups, rather than using
disposable cups.”
Commerce is an optional subject
for year 10 students at Villa
Maria College and is a combination
of accounting, economics
and business studies.
It’s a popular subject choice for
students and they enjoy the challenge
of the market day event.
Student Ruby Lundy said: “It
was tricky to come up with a

product that was unique and
special so that we could attract
lots of customers, but we’re really
happy with our end product.”
The students will all decide
on a charity to donate a portion
of their profits to after the
market.
Other products at the market
included reusable metal straws,
face masks and lip scrubs,
bubble tea and sweet treats.
‘One or two idiots ruin it’
•From page 1
Mr Taylor read the article and
told Southern View closing off
tracks like this one and Worsley’s
Track is unfair to responsible
four-wheel-drive users.
Mr Taylor said it is just a few
people ruining it for everyone else
wanting to drive on tracks like
these.
“One or two idiots ruin it for
everyone else. It’s the old story,
let’s punish the good guys, and
it’s just not right.”
He said North Canterbury
4WD Club always encouraged its
members to be responsible when
four-wheel-driving and believed
they should not be punished for
other’s bad behaviour.

what we do. We always follow the

marks and nothing else, that’s
very important for us. That’s why
we have these regular meetings
with DOC [the Department of
Conservation] and things like
that.
“I’m just an ordinary fourwheel-driver
who wants us to
keep our access,” he said.
Mr Thomas said there are still
options for people wanting to
go four-wheel-driving but they
should not abuse these privileges.
“There is a variety of
information available online
for local four-wheel-drive
opportunities, including through
the Department of Conservation
and four-wheel-drive clubs. The
council would also encourage
four-wheel-drivers to use all
roads with respect and to
minimise damage that may
inhibit other road users,” he said.

Dig out your historic photos for competition
GIVEN TIME, even the most
ordinary photo can be an
extraordinary window into a
different world.
This photo, picturing the intersection
of High, Hereford and
Colombo Sts, was a highly commended
entry in Christchurch
City Libraries’ 2008 photo hunt.
It was submitted by Tony Bowie
and shows his mother and
grandmother on their way to
shop in High St in the late 1950s.
During the 1950s, the central
city was the prime destination
for shopping in Christchurch,
and women would don hats and
gloves for their trip into town.
The central city enjoyed this
shopping heyday in the first half
of the 20th-century, coinciding
with the peak of reliance on
public transport – first trams,
then buses. Cathedral Square
was the central hub of the city’s
transport network, which connected
the suburbs to the city
centre.
It was customary for people
to go into town to shop, and to
“take tea” in the tea rooms of
the major department stores
located on both sides of Cathedral
Square.
Beca Christchurch Heritage
Festival 2019 starts on October 7
and this year, as part of the festival,
Christchurch City Libraries
is celebrating 10 years of the
Christchurch photo hunt.
Over the past decade, the
photo hunt has collected
hundreds of great photos like
this one, and Christchurch City
Libraries hopes people will dust
off their collections and unearth
some more treasures.
This year’s competition runs
from October 1 to 31. Your
photos are carefully scanned

New life
for Sign of
the Takahe
• By Matt Slaughter
THE SIGN of the Takahe has
reopened.
An official opening event was
held at the historic venue on
Hackthorne Rd. About 400 people
turned up on the day to celebrate.
The more than 100-year-old
building has been closed since the
2011 earthquake.
It was leased off the city council
by Andrew Male and his wife
Kay at the start of the year. They
have installed a new cafe and
bar upstairs and revamped the
interior of the building.
Mr Male said reopening the
Sign of the Takahe was a great
feeling, given the months of work
which have gone into getting it
ready. “My wife and I have been
talking about and passionate
about it for the last six months,
but you know, sometimes you
look back and think I couldn’t
have done it without my team.”
He said visitors are excited
about having the iconic building
back up and running.
“It’s finally seeing the building
back open again that has a lot of
history, people have got history
with it.”

Building model trains to go on show
ANNA THOMAS is a
keen rail modeller, skilfully
creating New Zealand
prototypes.
Ms Thomas said her mother
recalls her throwing a tantrum
in Kmart when she was four
because she couldn’t have a
train set.
“I did get one later. It was
an American Santa-Fe set
with a figure-eight track and
a tunnel. I soon lost interest,
probably because it wasn’t very
realistic.’’
The 26-year-old who
works for an online distributor
is keen on all things

For two years, she has been
building a Di class dieselelectric
locomotive to haul a
train of ballast wagons.
It will include a 9m wooden
guard’s van carriage with a
ballast spreader underneath.
“I have talked to people
who knew the Di class locos.
That’s been pretty cool really,’
she said.
The guard’s van will feature
at the Big Model Train Show

Woolston boxers in the ring for Canty
• By Jacob Page
SIX WOOLSTON boxers will
be part of the Canterbury team
to compete at the national
championships which start
tomorrow at Hastings
A 20-strong team will test
themselves against the best
amateur boxers in New Zealand
over the five-day tournament.
Ryley Sutherland, Hamuera
Tainui, Blake Henderson, Trevor
Swainson, Byron Antal and
Tegan Clark will all represent
Woolston in the team.
Canterbury coach Mark Fuller
said the team have a good mix
of youth and experience across
junior, cadet and senior grades.
He has high hopes for the
Woolston contingent.

“I like the look of Trevor
Swainson,” he said.
“He’s been around a long
time and deserves a
national title.
“He’s capable and
durable.”
Tainui won a
national title last year
in the 63kg cadet class
and will be looking
for another win this
year.
Both he and
Sutherland won New
Zealand Golden
Gloves titles last
month in Rotorua.
“Tegan Clark has a hard class
but if she’s positive enough she’s
definitely one who could win a
national title,” Fuller said.
“In the cadets, Sutherland and
Kwahli Beauchamp – they’ve
had 25 to 30 fights now – and the
juniors Daniel Meehan, James
Charlton and Blake Gibson all
have 30 fights plus.
“We always aim to medal, but
there are a few kids there that
will need three bouts to earn a
silver or gold, but realistically we
should come back with a good
haul.
“This is the pinnacle
tournament of the year so they’’ll
all be giving it everything.

Mark Fuller
“Byron Antal is a good lad, it’ll
be a big step up and he’s keen to
learn.”
Weigh-ins are due to
take place today.
“It’s a good team
and we always have
expectations to
perform well and to
represent Canterbury
well,” Fuller said.

Tim Scandrett Independent City Councillor - Standing for re-election
Paid Advertising Feature
VOTE FOR ME, I WORK FOR YOU
Thank you for supporting me for the past
six years as your independent City Councillor.
Independent means I work for you, not a
political party.
Christchurch and our community have
taken a lot of hits in the last few years. We are
making great progress but there is still a lot
more to do.
The next three years are very important as
we continue to work to make Christchurch
a vibrant, inclusive and sustainable city. We
need to rejuvenate our community and adapt
to climate change in an environmentally,
financially and socially sustainable way.
By working together we can achieve this and
much more.
I am a proven City Councillor who knows
how to get the job done. I will remain your
independent advocate, working with you
to keep our community voice at the core of
Council decision making.
I will continue to meet you at my monthly
clinics to understand the issues important
to you. I will energetically represent our
community and work hard for local concerns
Vote for me and I will continue to fight for
chlorine-free drinking water protected at its
source, for preservation and regeneration
of the Heathcote River and Port Hills, for
improved community facilities and better traffic
planning.
We need to keep your rates down,
strengthen our community, and protect your
future and your children’s futures
Your support will ensure I remain your
independent City Councillor.

Darrell Latham Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Heathcote Ward
As an elected representative I have a proven
track record advocating and gaining results for
residents. I do ask the hard questions and I do
seek accountability from the Council on your
behalf.
This is a defining election and ratepayers are
losing faith with the council. Areas of concern
include.
• Rates that are projected to rise by more
than 52% by 2028. Over the last three years,
average rate rises have hit 5.25%. This is
unacceptable.
• The Council needs to review income and
expenditure and how it manages assets to
avoid soaring debt.
• Ratepayers want transparency and
accountability without resorting to Official
Information Act procedures. The Council has
been branded as ‘’the most secretive in the
country.’’ A change of culture is required.
• Eight years on from the quakes we still
have endless roadworks, questionable sewage
systems and water that is compromised.
• Water supply, waste water, storm water and
water infrastructure are critically important. Our
waterways and coastal water form a major part
of the landscape and lives of the community.
• Central City residential developments
are creating masses of on street car parking.
These developments require off street parking
areas.
• A smart city is an accessible city. The
Council must listen to business people
and road users and create a user friendly
accessible city.
• We need individual and collective action
to minimise climate change. Mitigation and
adaptive management strategies must be part
of that discussion.
I am decisive, determined and dependable
and I will represent all Heathcote residents with
enthusiasm.

Lee Sampson Standing for Councillor and Community Board - Cashmere Ward
I’m standing to ensure Christchurch realises
it’s potential as one of the most liveable,
vibrant, sustainable cities in the world for all our
communities.
I have a strong track record of getting things
done - and can tackle our cities biggest issues
in a logical and positive manner. I’ll ensure we
get the priorities right moving forward and with
increased transparency and financial nous for
all our ratepayers.
I’ve spent 20+ years managing large public
and private sector projects and I’m confident
that by making sounder decisions and getting
the basics right, we can deliver more for our
respective communities and within our financial
constraints.
I’ll be fighting to:
• Protect our precious water resources
(removing chlorine as soon as its safe to do so)
• Get our basic services right
• Keep rates affordable and prioritise
accordingly
• Support Port Hills conservation alongside the
ecological restoration of our urban rivers
• Reduce public transport gaps (such as)
Somerfield Street, Birdwood Ave, Bowenvale
Ave and Dyers Pass Road
• Secure regional investment through central
government.
I have broad volunteer experience as a
Rotarian, youth mentor and representative on
the Summit Road Society.
During the rebuild I delivered new Social
Housing and reduced the associated costs by
up-to 50% through adopting waste reduction
and lean principles - this enabled more warm
and sustainable homes to be built for our most
vulnerable residents.
I’m motivated, approachable and always have
an open door. Call on 021 772 929 or email

RATES FOR ROADS NOT FATTENING
SALARIES
These are my priorities if I have the honour
of becoming the next city Councillor for
Spreydon.
Roading: Taking 20 years to get our roads
back to pre quake condition is unacceptable.
This must be the councils number one priority
Rate rises: I think rates are getting to high and
not enough attention is being paid to spending.
If the forecasted rises go ahead it will cause
real hardship.
Chlorine: I think the council acted on bad
information when they put chlorine in our
perfectly good drinking water. The sooner it’s
out the better.
Parking: I would like to see more parking in the
inner city. Especially the free/cheap kind. I will
fight for hospital parking from day one.

Re-elect Lianne Dalziel Mayor
“I love Christchurch and am confident about our
future. With my experience and inclusive style
of leadership, we can tackle any challenges that
lie ahead, while seizing every opportunity that
comes our way.”
It is vital we keep the momentum going.
My immediate priorities are:
Water: Investment in our infrastructure will
deliver pure water safely to your home. I
will fight Government-imposed mandatory
chlorination.
Rates: I will bring rates rises down while
ensuring continued infrastructure investment,
and balancing council debt and inflation.
Central City: A vibrant city centre is essential.
Having secured $300m for Christchurch, the
stadium will be a multi-use facility. I will continue
to back the developers leading the way.
Sustainability: I am committed to reducing our
city’s carbon footprint, and helping communities
prepare for the impacts of climate change.

deliver a fully integrated programme of works
across the east, fixing the roads, footpaths and
pipes and building stopbanks.

2019 LocAL ELEcTions - meet your candidates
Peter Ballantyne Standing for Canterbury District Health Board
Paid Advertising Feature
Peter has considerable experience in the
health sector having served as Deputy Chair of
the Canterbury District Health Board and Chair
of the West Coast District Health Board.
Peter believes the health board has worked
tirelessly to meet the needs of Cantabrians,
but has been constrained by lack of funding
.Peter considers that he is well placed to
advocate strongly for equitable funding for our
health needs in Canterbury. This, combined
with efficiencies in service, will enable more
funds to be available to meet the increased
demands of health issues such as mental
health, cancer and elective surgery in order to
ensure that our communities get well, stay well
and live well closer to home. Addressing the
increasing needs of our ageing population is
a continuing demand on our health services.
There is also need to remove the capital
charge, and progress the rate of our facility
rebuilds to ensure our people receive timely
and appropriate treatment in modern hospital
facilities. He is very conscious of the safety and
wellbeing of our health workforce which has
been operating under tremendous pressure
since the earthquakes while continuing to
maintain high standards of service.
Peter was previously a partner in the
international consulting firm Deloitte. He
currently serves on the CDHB Quality, Finance,
Audit, and Risk Committee and on the
University of Canterbury Council.
A life long Cantabrian, Peter is a greatgrandson
of John Ballantyne, founder of
Ballantynes Department Store. Peter’s wife
Claire worked as a registered nurse with
the CDHB and his daughter is a Consultant
Geriatrician. With two sons, an engineer and a
film director, Peter’s leisure time is spent with
family, grandchildren and sailing.
If you wish to contact Peter you can email him
at prballantyne@yahoo.com

John Minto Standing for Christchurch Mayor
I am standing as a KOA (Keep our Assets
Canterbury) candidate for mayor because we
want a future for Christchurch which makes
sense.
The city faces three big challenges: a
climate emergency, a water supply threatened
by contaminants and many people struggling
on poverty incomes without dignity or selfrespect.
Our policies are to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions with free and frequent public
transport; provide a local zone for Canterbury
businesses and co-operatives in the city
centre; rebuild the 400 council rental homes
destroyed in the earthquakes; future-proof
our water supply and develop a plan for
swimmable rivers; rate increases kept to the
rate of inflation and a minimum of the living
wage for all council work.
As well as significantly reducing our
greenhouse gas emissions, fare-free public
transport will create a more cohesive, less
divided city as people mix and mingle on
modern, low-emission buses with free wifi.
It will also save families approximately four
weeks pay per year in transport costs which
will be spent in the local economy giving a
boost to local businesses and co-operatives.
This policy will not increase rates because
it will be paid for from existing government
budgets by rebalancing transport funding away
from new roads in favour of public transport.
These policies will improve our lives while
saving the council money. More details are at

Alexandra Davids Standing for Canterbury District Health Board
I am fully committed to giving all members
of our communities the strong, positive
representation they deserve.
I have been an elected member since 2013.
In this time, I have held a variety of positions,
including my daily work with Women’s Refuge
at the Battered Women’s Trust which has
given me an insight into the daily struggles
going on behind closed doors, Chair of
Keep New Zealand Beautiful, Chair of Keep
Christchurch Beautiful, Elected Member of the
Local Government Young Elected Members
Board, Local Government Elected Member
of the national Community Board Executive
Committee, Trustee of the Graeme Dingle
Foundation, Chair of Whitau School.
These experiences have given me the
opportunity to continue to develop the
leadership and mediation skills we need
around the table within the CDHB for us to
make positive steps forward for the entire
Canterbury region.
I am a proactive, results-focussed candidate
with the enthusiasm and energy needed to
effect positive change.
As your elected representative I aim to
strongly advocate for a parking solution for
Christchurch Hospital, future focussed decision
marking and more resourcing for our aging
population, more support for mental health and
chlorine free water.

Rik Tindall Standing for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch South Ōwhanga
Kia ora, hello Banks Peninsula, Port Hills
and South Christchurch residents.
Te mana o te wai - top respect for water -
guides local government: when water
status is good, so is all life around it. The
four shared wellbeings - social, economic,
environmental and cultural - grow as values
built on pure aquifers, clean surface water
and secure domestic supply, with prioritised
care - kaitiakitanga. With service experience
2007-2010 from Save Our Water campaign,
I ask your vote of support again, returning
democracy and public oversight to Canterbury
Regional Council.
Biosecurity brings rural and urban people
together, against pest animals and plants that
undermine our economy and biodiversity.
As a Predator Free Port Hills coordinator
for Cashmere, I work with the Summit Road
Society, Banks Peninsula Conservation Trust,
DOC and council staff, to help our communities
protect the native species we all treasure.
Parallel to the Canterbury Water Management
Strategy and Zone Committees our elected
Ecan helped found, this collaboration shows
how all society can work together, for the
common good.
Emergency preparedness can’t be forgotten
and was the portfolio chair I held for the last full
elected Ecan board, before the earthquakes.
I have deepened readiness awareness
from then since, as a city civil defence and
residents’ group volunteer. I would help all
communites advance thorough emergency
response plans. Disasters can strike any
time, lest we forget. Harbour safety and public
transport are important. Climate change
mitigation work is most urgently essential to
begin.

Darryll Park Standing for Christchurch Mayor
Hello there, I am Darryll Park, a proud
Cantabrian, and extremely passionate about this,
our city of Christchurch.
I have lived and worked in and around
Christchurch all of my life.
In the past I was the CEO of Christchurch
& Canterbury Marketing Ltd, and I helped
to reposition Tourism under the government
Tourism 2010 Strategy, as well as past board
member of Civil Aviation Authority & Aviation
Security Services, two government agencies and
was employed as Air NZ South Island Manager
until 1998.
Nowadays I am the co-owner of Oxford
Management Services, a property development
and management company supporting
hospitality, Chair of Mondo Travel Group, and a
Director of the Canterbury Rugby Union and the
Crusaders.
What I’m standing for
I am standing as a Mayoralty candidate for
Christchurch in the upcoming elections. I am
campaigning to ‘Move Christchurch Forward’,
with a focus on common sense, a back to basics
approach and better ways to move us forward.
Why am I doing this?
Quite simply, I want to restore public trust in
Christchurch’s local leadership and with your
help, do what’s needed to be done to make
Christchurch, New Zealand’s most liveable city.
This will mean being accountable and
transparent to you, the voter, ratepayer, resident
and business community. Our key areas of
focus are rates, water, infrastructure, tourism,
sustainability, institutions and events, crime and
communities. I will be revealing our policies over
the coming weeks.
There is much to be done, and if elected, I will
stand aside from my current business interests
and governance roles to ensure my focus on this
city is absolute.
Thank you for your interest, and if you want to
help move Christchurch forward, I look forward
to your vote.

Sweet vegan classics from Asia
Try a vegan take on
some Asian classics
Indonesian crumpets
Makes 20
Ingredients
250ml (1 cup) soy or coconut
milk
7g sachet dried active yeast
1 tsp coconut sugar
300g (2 cups) plain flour
2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1 tsp sea salt
1 tsp vanilla powder
Olive oil or vegan butter, for
greasing
Suggested toppings:
Coconut yoghurt, vegan butter,
pure maple syrup, fresh berries,
shredded basil leaves, dried
edible flowers, hemp seeds, icing
sugar.
Directions
Gently warm the soy or
coconut milk and 250ml (one
cup) of water in a saucepan
over low heat until just warmed
through (don’t warm the liquid
too much or you will kill your
yeast). Pour the liquid into a
bowl and add the dried yeast
and sugar. Set aside in a warm
place for 15min or until the
surface starts to foam. Sift the
flour, bicarbonate of soda, salt
and vanilla into a large bowl.
Add the yeast mixture and stir to
combine. Place a clean damp tea
towel over the mixing bowl and
set aside for 35-40min or until
the mixture is risen and bubbly.
Heat the oven to 100 deg C
fan-forced. Lightly grease a large
frying pan and set over mediumhigh
heat, then lightly grease a
few egg rings and place them in
the pan.
Stir the mixture again – it
should look like thick, bubbly
pancake batter. Add 60-125ml
(¼ cup-½ cup) more water to
reach the desired consistency if
necessary.
Spoon two to three
tablespoons of the mixture into
each egg ring. Cook for 2min
or until the tops are completely
covered in bubbles and the
batter is dry. Remove the egg
rings, transfer the crumpets
to a heatproof plate and keep
warm in the oven. Repeat with
the remaining mixture to make
about 20 crumpets.
Serve the warm crumpets with
your favourite toppings.
Any leftover crumpets will
keep in an airtight container in
the fridge for two to three days
or in the freezer for up to two
weeks.
Chana masala
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 Tbsp avocado oil
1 onion, diced
400g can whole tomatoes
400g can chickpeas, drained and
rinsed (see tip)
2 tsp coconut sugar
2 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon
juice, plus lemon wedges to serve
Sea salt
Chopped coriander leaves, to
serve
Steamed basmati rice or garlic
Naan to serve
Masala curry paste
2-3 long red chillies, roughly
chopped
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tsp ground cumin
2-3cm piece of ginger, roughly
chopped
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 tsp black peppercorns
1 tsp garam masala
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp brown mustard seeds
Directions
Using a large mortar and
pestle, pound the masala curry
paste ingredients for about
10min or until you have a
smooth paste (alternatively,
you can use a small food
processor.)
Heat a saucepan over medium
heat, add the oil and curry paste
and saute for 30sec.
Add the onion and saute for
2min, then stir through the
tomatoes and chickpeas.
Reduce the heat to low and
simmer for 30min or until
reduced to a thick curry.
Remove the pan from the heat,
stir through the sugar and lemon
juice, then taste and add a little
salt, if necessary.
Sprinkle the chana masala
with coriander and serve with
steamed basmati rice or garlic
naan on the side and lemon
wedges for squeezing over.
Tip: Keep your chickpea liquid
(aquafaba) to make sriracha
mayo or caesar dressing.

Hydrate to elevate
We all know drinking water is important, but the
majority of us simply don’t drink enough even though
we know it makes us feel great when we do. We look
at the benefits and motivate you to drink more with a
few tips on how to make it just a little more palatable.
With over a quarter of Kiwis
consuming less than two glasses of
water a day and only 5% drinking
more than the recommended eight, the
message obviously hasn’t hit home on
the importance of hydrating our body.
A recent survey conducted by
SodaStream found that Cantabrians
are particularly guilty when it comes to
their water intake.
With 82% drinking less than six
glasses of water a day, but with over 85%
admitting they feel healthier when they
drink more water, something needs to
be done to bridge the gap in terms of
what we know to be true and what we’re
actually doing about it.
This same survey revealed that
although 41% of us limit how many soft
drinks we consume due to our concerns
over sugar content, the same number
of people said tea or coffee is this their
number one drink of choice.
Some people even believe that the
water consumed in their cup of Joe
constitutes part of their water intake.
This is a fallacy.
As caffeine actually dehydrates us, as
does alcohol too, it means we need to
drink even more water to compensate.
Not so surprisingly the reason we
don’t drink nearly enough water is that
we simply forget. Now with apps you
can download direct to your smart
phone, there are no more excuses.
Further studies proved that people
who had a SodaStream machine in their
homes were more likely to drink more
water.
In fact, the study showed that people
drank 30% more water.
For those of us who aren’t used to
drinking water like it’s going
out of fashion, there are plenty of ways
to increase the fun factor while still
being healthy.
After
Before
By simply turning tap water into sparkling water with a
SodaStream machine and adding a splash of fresh lemon juice
or naturally squeezed fruit juice, is bound to have a positive
impact on our health and wellbeing.

Cleansed and cured?
Many common health problems can
all be easily solved with one simple
approach according to a leading New
Zealand Medical Herbalist Brett Elliott.
He found in his clinical practice that
most of his clients have similar common
health complaints and that it all could be
traced back to digestive disorders. Did
you know up to 50% of the population
suffer from common health conditions
like; chronic constipation, acid reflux,
bloating, gas, ulcers, irritable bowel
syndrome, crohn’s disease, coeliac
disease, haemorrhoids, gallstones,
cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure,
abdominal weight gain, skin complaints
and many more and can all come back to
a poor digestive system.
He wanted to find a simple solution
everyone could use to support their
bodies natural healing without the side
effects of pharmaceutical medications
that often only ease or cover the
symptoms without healing as well as
often having many side effects. Brett
knew everything in the body depends on
the digestive system working properly
and so went about developing “The
Ultimate Herbal Detox Body Cleanse
Program” a simple to use two week
program. It not only supports the whole
digestive system but also helps cleanse
the entire body of toxins and parasites.
The program contains four different
all herb formulas all in capsule form
that need to be taken twice daily. These
capsules can be blended into a smoothie
if you prefer. Colon-aid is designed to
support a healthy bowel movement,
increases the secretion of gastric
juices and bile and promote appetite
and digestion. Digez-aid soothes and
stimulates healthy
digestion and
absorption of
vital nutrients.
Sym-lax is a
bulking fibre to
cleanse and heal
the intestines
and bowels. It
also makes you
feel less hungry.
Liva-food is the
final nutrient
rich formula to
support a healthy
liver function.
It supports
detoxing the
body of toxins
and heavy
metals.
The program supports the bodies’
organs to do their job. The formulas are
New Zealand made and contain a total
of 24 high potency herbs making it quite
possibly the most comprehensive “do
it yourself ” herbal detox body cleanse
program in the world. Brett has refined
the formula over 20 years and has now
sold over 100, 000 kits world-wide. He
regularly receives incredible feedback
from users with many re-doing the

A design masterpiece and recipient of six
national and regional awards, this executive
home was crafted by O’Neil Architecture
and built by multi award winning Metzger
Builders Ltd (MBL). Sublime style and
unparalleled luxury sets the tone for this
grand residence showcasing world class
architectural excellence and state-of-theart
technology. Spectacularly positioned
on 3,427sqm, this luxurious home offers
an escape from the everyday in a breathtaking
location, boarding the Kaikainui
Stream. This exquisite residence is designed
for lavish entertaining inside and out.
Impressive dimensions and an abundance of
accommodation with resort style amenities
provide the ultimate lifestyle. No expense
has been spared to create a magical - yet
eminently functional - executive home.
Sleek and sophisticated, the stylish interior has
been cleverly composed to reveal delightful
spaces at every turn. Interior living spaces
wrap around a stunning outdoor room with
full-height glazed panels and sliding doors
and an opening louvre roof for year-round
al fresco living. Inside, open-plan living and
dining flows to a high-spec kitchen boasting
stone counters, butler’s pantry, and drawers
and cupboards with electric servo operation.
Sliding doors push back to outdoor living
on two sides and stacking windows in the
kitchen open to the main terrace and pool for
effortless entertaining. A separate media room
offers a mirror TV, drop-down projector and
home theatre, a gas fire and garden views.
Upstairs, the master bedroom is a palatial
retreat, with wrap-around glazing and a
balcony for absorbing the tranquil outlook,
and is served by a sumptuous tiled en-suite
with twin vanities and bath. Three more
bedrooms all feature en-suite bathrooms,
and the extensive extras include built-in
wine storage for 250+ bottles, smart wiring
and ducted air-conditioning. All of this is set
in picturesque grounds, fully appointed for
entertaining with an infinity pool, in-ground
spa, gazebo with fire pit and multiple outdoor
sitting areas totalling 250 sqm.
This remarkable home offers the ultimate
in opulence and comfort for contemporary
resort-style living in a tranquil, semi-rural
location. Homes of this calibre are all too rare.
