demolish 

service 

centre 

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

THE earthquake-damaged 

former Sockburn Service Centre 

could finally be demolished in 

July – if the funding needed is 

obtained. 

It comes as the 

Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton 

Community 

Board has written 

in its draft 

submission to 

the city council’s 

Mike Mora 

Annual Plan 

2019-2020, 

requesting the city council addresses 

the budget gap so the 

buildings can be removed as soon 

as possible. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

said the final submission is yet to 

be completed but it was likely the 

demolition of the site would be 

requested. 

The former service centre, on 

Main South Rd, has been a source 

of tension for years with residents 

unhappy with the state of the site.

No review over multi-storey house 


A REVIEW will not be 

undertaken over the original 

resource consent for a large 

house on a residential street in 

Riccarton. 

Commissioner David Mountfort 

was deciding whether a 

section 128 review was required 

of the new multi-storey house 

at 36 Rata St after concerns over 

the original consent. 

It was to 

consider whether 

there were any inaccuracies 

in the 

original consent 

lodged in 2016 

David 

Mountford 

for the house to 

be built before a 

subsequent application 

was given 

the green-light to go-ahead by 

the city council in 2018. 

Last year, city council received 

complaints from four nearby 

properties along with concerns 

raised from the Riccarton Bush- 

Kilmarnock Residents’ Association 

and the Halswell-Hornby- 

Riccarton Community Board. 

The large house is being constructed 

for carpet retailer and 

interior design service Nextdore 

director Michael Dore. 

Although a review is not required, 

there were inaccuracies 

in both the plans of the 2018 

house. 

These were particularly in 

relation to the ground levels and 

shading diagrams which showed 

the 2016 house in an incorrect 

location. 

“The overlay on the elevations 

which was intended to show the 

2016 recession plane breach if 

the house had been constructed 

was accurate to the extent it was 

based on the actual floor levels 

of the existing 2016 house but 

inaccurate in that those floor 

levels were not as shown on the 

2016 plans,” Mr Mountfort 

said. 

But he said most inaccuracies 

are very minor and would not 

have impacted the original decision. 

DONE DEAL: 

The original 

resource 

consent for a 

large multistorey 

house 

on Rata St will 

not be reviewed 

inspite of some 

inaccuracies 

being found. 

PHOTO: GEOFF 

SLOAN 

“The only inaccuracies which 

I considered to be worthy of 

close scrutiny related to recession 

planes – which had the 

potential to increase shading 

and visual dominance over and 

above the 2016 consented baseline,” 

Mr Mountfort said. 

He said the effects of the 2018 

design were to be less than 

minor. 

Cycle lanes 

mooted for 

Waimairi Rd 

AN INCREASE in the number of 

cyclists using Waimairi Rd has led 

to a proposal to install cycle lanes 

on the busy road. 

Nearly 300 cyclists travel along 

the road daily, therefore the city 

council is seeking community 

feedback on the proposal. 

The city council transport planning 

and delivery manager Lynette 

Ellis said the number of cyclists using 

the road has increased with the 

popularity of the uni-cycle route. 

The numbers of cyclists using 

the uni-cycle route which crosses 

Waimairi Rd at Dovedale Ave has 

climbed by up to 20 per cent annually. 

Under the proposal, on-street 

parking will be removed between 

Peer St and Dovedale Ave along 

with sections on the west side. 

Said Ms Ellis: “Any changes will 

be incorporated into planned work 

to resurface Waimairi Rd over the 

2020-2021 summer period.”

Siska Pl problems in spotlight 


DRUNKEN AND disorderly 

behaviour, cramming of parked 

cars, litter and damage to public 

property. 

This is what Siska Pl resident 

Ruby Chan has had to put up 

with since 2004 as a result of an 

increase in the number of flats 

on the Upper Riccarton street. 

On Tuesday, she made a 

presentation to the Halswell- 

Hornby-Riccarton Community 

Board calling for help and for 

no-stopping restrictions to be 

placed on the street. 

The most “burning concerns” 

she had was the number of 

flats, safety concerns for drivers 

accessing Rountree St from 

Clonbern Pl, no parking signs 

and young people being aggressive 

and intimidating. 

“The problem has escalated 

to the next level . . . accessing 

the street during night-time is a 

nightmare,” she said. 

Dr Chan, along with her family 

has been living on the street 

for the past 28 years. 

But she said the issues have 

been growing since 2004, with 

residents taking it to the city 

council around that time – but 

nothing has eventuated since. 

Dr Chan said one of the key 

problems is signage reading no 

car parking on one side of the 

street being repeatedly taken 

down by young people. 

“I have been contacting the 

city council to have them replaced 

but up until now, nothing. 

So it is very difficult for us 

to access the street. 

“Our proposed solution is 

to have yellow lines but this is 

getting nowhere with the city 

council,” Dr Chan said. 

Only one vehicle can travel 

through if cars are parked on 

both sides of the street. 

“You just have to brace yourself, 

take that head-on collision, 

hoping you are okay,” Dr Chan 

said. 

Particularly at the beginning 

of the year when young people 

are having parties, Dr Chan 

said students will bang on her 

windows or stand on the street 

and pull “wonderful gestures.” 

“They are drinking on the 

streets even when there are 

clear signs saying there are alcohol 

bans,” Dr Chan said. 

She recalled one night where 

she was unable to sleep due to 

a motor-cycle travelling backwards 

and forwards in the alley 

by her window. 

Living behind Siska 

Reserve, Dr Chan said 

residents also have concerns 

over littering and it becoming 

a dumping ground for young 

people at the beginning and end 

of the year. 

Board chairman Mike Mora 

TIGHT 

SQUEEZE: 

Siska Pl 

resident Ruby 

Chan describes

sides. 

said the situation residents were 

facing was not good at all and 

would see what “wheels” the 

board could get “in motion.” 

A Canterbury University 

spokeswoman said it maintains 

close and constructive relationships 

with the city council, environmental 

health team, police 

and University of Canterbury 

Student’s Association to address 

neighbourhood matters around 

the campus. 

She said there had not been 

any matters regarding Siska 

Pl drawn to its attention other 

than some noise disruption 

last year which was found 

to be caused by a resident 

not enrolled at Canterbury 

University. 

Asbestos in 

several 

buildings 

•From page 1 

It was closed in 2012 due to earthquake 

damage and has been vacant 

ever since. 

But city council’s head of facilities, 

property and planning Bruce Rendall 

said it has found about $300,000 

of the $360,000 needed to remove 

asbestos and demolish the site. 

He said if the remaining funding 

was found, the work – including the 

building demolition, land and soil 

treatment would take about four 

months. 

The funding would come from the 

city council’s operational budgets. 

In July last year, the city council 

undertook asbestos surveys at the 

centre to determine the extent of the 

asbestos removal required before the 

demolition could occur. 

The testing found several of the 

buildings on the site were constructed 

when asbestos-containing 

materials were commonly used. 

Mr Mora said it would be good 

news if the demolition could begin 

in July and agreed with Mr Peters. 

“It just reminds everybody about 

the earthquakes. People are grizzling 

about private buildings in 

town that have not been demolished. 

Yet this is a public building – it 

should be demolished,” he said.

How chiropractic care helps 

Routine chiropractic care provides 

sufferers of low back pain a safe, 

non- invasive treatment that is 

an alternative to prescription 

medications and reliance on over 

the counter pain relievers. 

The common goal of most 

chiropractic techniques is to 

restore or to enhance joint 

function, with the subsequent 

benefit of resolving joint 

inflammation and reducing pain. 

Some approaches use some 

force (spinal manipulation), while 

others are more gentle (spinal 

mobilisation). 

Andre Grob, Principal Chiropractor 

at Southern Chiropractic in 

Halswell, says a key factor to living 

with a spine or back pain condition 

is staying healthy. Overall wellness 

is a combination of a balanced diet, 

appropriate exercise and physical 

activity, restful sleep and positive 

lifestyle choices. 

Identifying the symptoms, 

along with an accurate 

diagnosis of the 

underlying cause of the 

pain, is the first step in 

obtaining effective pain 

relief. 

Chiropractic treatments 

for low back pain 

consistently rate among 

the top most beneficial 

natural therapies 

providing an holistic 

approach to treating 

back pain. Many studies 

support the effectiveness 

of treatment for chronic 

and especially acute low 

back pain episodes, says 

Andre. 

“It’s all about what’s best 

for the individual client 

and giving them the time 

and care that they need. No matter 

what your age I can help with your 

back pain.” 

So if you are experiencing back 

pain, take the time to see Andre at 

Southern Chiropractic. 

Appointments can be booked on 

line through their website, www. 

southernchiropractic.co.nz, or

A message of love, unity, 

and prayers for peace 

THE FAMOUS tale of Sadoko 

Sasaki has inspired a message 

of peace to honour those who 

lost their lives in the March 15 

attacks. 

Villa Maria College’s international 

leader Wakana Yamaji 

decided to lead the school in 

making 1000 paper cranes in 

memory of those who lost their 

lives in the shootings. 

Last year, the international 

students made 1000 paper 

cranes as a mark of respect and 

as a symbol of world peace after 

March 15. 

It was inspired by Sadoko, 

a Japanese girl who became a 

victim of the atomic bombing of 

Hiroshima when she was twoyears-old. 

Following the United States 

detonating two nuclear weapons 

over Hiroshima and Nagasaki 

on August 6 and 9, 1945, Sadoko 

developed acute leukaemia 10 

years after being exposed to the 

radiation. 

Inspired by the age-old Japanese 

belief anyone who makes 

1000 origami cranes will see 

their wish come true – Sadako 

spent her last days before she 

died folding paper cranes on 

HONOUR: Villa Maria College students Wakana Yumaji and 

Rena Yamanishi placing paper cranes on the memorial wall on 

Sunday. 

her hospital bed in the hope she 

would recover. 

After her death, Sadako’s 

friends and schoolmates published 

a collection of letters in 

order to raise funds to build a 

memorial to her and all of the 

children who had died from the 

effects of the atomic bomb 

This year, each Villa Maria Ako 

group and all of the international 

students worked hard to fold and 

sew together 1200 paper cranes. 

Last Sunday, Wakana 

delivered them to the memorial 

wall at the Botanical Gardens to 

promote the message of world 

peace. 

Julia’s big plans 

• From page 1 

“At first it was really shocking, 

and then it really settled in 

that this is actually happening 

and it’s amazing to have this 

opportunity,” she said. 

The programme helps young 

females gain important skills 

and exposure in a series of masterclasses 

and rapid-fire internships. 

While gaining experience 

and connecting with industry 

leaders to fulfil their dreams, it 

simultaneously addresses the 

skills and gender diversity gap in 

workplaces today. 

Said Julia: “The programme will 

be beneficial for young women 

because it will encourage them to 

believe they’re more than capable 

of working in those industries.” 

Julia, of West Melton, moved 

to New Zealand from Essex, 

United Kingdom, in 2011 with 

her parents and twin sisters for 

better schooling opportunities. 

She was diagnosed with attention 

deficit hyperactivity disorder as 

a child, which she and her family 

began to understand once they 

moved to New Zealand. 

“I have ADHD, so at the time 

Selwyn House School helped my 

parents understand what that was, 

and get me on the proper medication 

so I could focus,” she said. 

The 15-year-old dreams of 

becoming a geneticist one day, 

using genetic modifications 

to improve the lives of the less 

fortunate. Her love of biology 

stemmed from a family member 

who had a rare, chromosomal 

disorder which sparked an interest 

in learning more. 

“I want to help in some sort of 

way using genetics, like genetically 

modifying plants to help 

with world hunger,” she said. 

“I’ve also been working on a 

project called Project X in school, 

where I’m researching how I 

would be able to genetically 

modify mosquitos to carry a vaccine 

which could prevent disease 

in third-world countries.” 

The five-day GirlBoss Advantage 

programme is set to 

go ahead in Christchurch next 

month, where the students will 

have the opportunity to intern 

with Orion Group and is hosted 

by power company Connetics. 

Julia hopes to gain a number of 

key skills and experience to aid 

her on the road to becoming a 

geneticist. 

“This programme might be able 

to help me get some feedback from 

experts and mentors on the project 

I’m working on, and that I’ll be 

able to use later in life.” 

It is often a man’s world in her 

chosen industry, but she believes 

now is the time for girls to lead 

the world. 

“Don’t listen to the people who 

tell you that you can’t do it.”

Your Local Views 

BACKING: A number of Hornby residents are supportive of the 

police’s Eagle helicopter staying in the city. 

More public support for 

police Eagle helicopter 

Readers respond to 

Western News’ article 

on the Greater Hornby 

Residents’ Association’s 

support for police’s Eagle 

helicopter to stay 

André Esterhuizen – I think 

the helicopter is a powerful tool 

in the hands of the police. It stops 

the need for high-speed chases. 

R Williams – I think if the 

police totted up the money 

saved, every time the helicopter 

was used, (a part from saving 

someone’s life-no price on that), 

I think the helicopter would pay 

for itself over a very short period 

of time. 

Forty-two million over five 

years is not a lot and that would 

be $8.4 million per year, soon pay 

for itself. 

And if a helicopter is buzzing 

over someone’s head, any 

thoughts of getting away would 

soon diminish if any sense as it 

is hard to outrun a helicopter. 

And anyone bobbing about in the 

sea would welcome the sight of a 

helicopter I think. 

So Christchurch needs the helicopters 

and it is not too difficult 

to think of ways this $8.4 million 

could be obtained. 

Citizen’s Advice Bureau: 

How we can support you 

Citizen’s Advice 

Bureau manager 

Mollie Howarth 

writes about 

how the CAB 

can support 

you through the 

toughest of times 

UNLESS YOU have been living 

under a rock for the past week, 

you can’t escape the constant, 

often at times frantic reoccurring 

messages in the media regarding 

Covid-19, also known as the 

coronavirus. 

In Canterbury, it is fair to say 

that we have already been through 

several traumatic and stressful 

events such as the Canterbury 

earthquakes in 2011 and the 

March 15, 2019, mosque attacks. 

For many community-based 

organisations or small businesses, 

if you are the person 

responsible for leading your 

organisation it can feel like another 

“layer cake of stress” that is 

being added to your already busy 

workload. Many of your workers 

or volunteers may be feeling 

quite anxious and uncertain 

about the future. 

One of the key 

metaphors I often use 

when explaining selfcare 

and boundaries 

to volunteers is that 

of a lifeguard. If 

you were on a beach 

looking out into the 

sea and you notice 

someone putting up their hand 

for help, you swim out to them 

and you let them grab on to you. 

Then who goes down? The short 

answer is you both do. 

However, if you swim out to 

the person, give them the “floating 

device” so they are supported 

until they can start swimming 

by themselves then you both 

make it back to shore. If we don’t 

practise self-care during times 

of high stress then we won’t have 

anything left to support other 

more vulnerable members of our 

community. 

Anyone feeling stressed, 

anxious or depressed as a result 

of Covid-19 can call or text 1737 

and access a trained professional. 

One of the things I enjoy about 

the work that I do, is that at 

Citizens Advice Bureau, our volunteers 

often encounter people in 

difficult situations. 

Most of the time they are 

able to provide the person with 

personalised information so 

they can look at the options and 

choices available to them. This 

usually helps the person to feel 

like they have some measure of 

control over their situation. 

Below is a link to our public 

webpage which lists the support 

services available to workers and 

businesses affected by Covid-19: 

www.cab.org.nz/article/ 

KB00039570. 

If you are feeling anxious 

about going out in public but 

have some concerns that you 

want to discuss you can access 

our service free from a pre-paid 

cellphone or landline on 0800 

367 222, email us or use our 

online chat.
