delay 

brings 

relief 

RESIDENTS MOST affected by 

the new Northern Motorway are 

relieved to hear the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor opening has 

been delayed by six months. 

The CNC was due to open in 

the middle of this year, but last 

week the New 

Zealand Transport 

Agency 

announced more 

time was needed 

to complete the 

$290m motorway. 

The original 

Mark Wilson 

scope of the 

project has been 

extended to include 

a third southbound lane on 

the Waimakariri River bridge and 

a clip-on cycleway. 

St Albans resident Mark Wilson 

said the community are “somewhat 

thankful” for the delay. 

“The community will be somewhat 

thankful for a reprieve of the 

effects of this motorway for six 

months, but it’s still there. Until 

decisions are made to put our 

community first, then there is no 

relief,” he said.

Views on cricket nets sought 

In Brief 


COMMUNITY feedback 

is being sought over a new 

proposal to replace cricket nets at 

Elmwood Park. 

Last year, the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood 

Community 

Board approved a proposal made 

by the Old Boys Collegian cricket 

club for the construction of a 

new pavilion. 

However, 

the community 

board did 

not approve 

the lease for 

new nets 

because some 

Ivo 

Wynn-Williams 

people in the 

community 

had raised 

concerns that they were too big, 

would dominate the park and 

would be noisy. 

Strowan resident Ivo Wynn- 

Williams opposed last year’s 

original proposal of the nets because 

of noise, safety and congestion 

concerns. However, the new 

proposal sees the nets placed 

further away from residential 

houses which he preferred. 

“The nets would’ve been directly 

placed in front of people’s 

homes, including my own, with 

no sound barrier and homeowners 

would’ve had to endure

the noise of balls being hit and

“The proposed nets opposite

St Andrew’s Square will be sheltered 

from noise by the pavilion.”

because the existing pavilion

pipes and services on Innes 

Rd between Jameson Ave and 

the east side of Cranford St 

has started. Lane shifts and 

shoulder closures will be in 

place and on-street parking will 

be restricted around the work 

area. The works are expected to 

take approximately five weeks to 

complete. 

INTERSECTION CLOSURE 

The Malvern St and Cranford 

St intersection will be closed 

for approximately three weeks 

to construct the remaining 

kerb and channel, a new 

footpath, landscaping and road 

reconstruction. The west side 

of Malvern St will be reopened 

while work takes place.

Irish bar lively for St Patrick’s Day 


ST PATRICK’S Day festivities 

in Ireland may have been 

cancelled, but that didn’t stop 

local residents heading to their 

favourite Irish pub last week to 

celebrate. 

The drinks were flowing 

at Irish pub Bailies Bar in St 

Albans attracting a lively crowd. 

Adorned in green, patrons were 

treated to a special performance 

by the O’Neill School of Irish 

Dance. 

St Albans resident Mike 

Poulter has been going to Bailie’s 

Bar for the last few years and 

said the coronavirus outbreak 

did not put him off going to the 

bar to celebrate, but people were 

still concerned about it nonetheless. 

“Last year this place was 

chock-a-block and the turnout 

today is nowhere near what 

it used to be like,” said Mr 

Poulter. 

“I think it’s [coronavirus] a 

bigger threat than we think, but 

until something happens here 

it’s not going to put everyone off 

from celebrating today.” 

Social distancing guidelines 

in Ireland forced bars and 

restaurants to close days before

weeks, followed by the cancellations 

of public parades and 

festivals. 

Although this is not the case 

yet here in New Zealand, Mr 

Poulter believed many were 

bracing themselves for further 

restrictions and potential selfisolation. 

Originally a religious festival 

for St Patrick of Ireland, the day 

commemorated the arrival of 

Christianity in the country and 

celebrates Irish heritage and 

culture.

column last week on the

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

from Essex, United Kingdom in 

2011 with her parents and twin 

sisters for better schooling opportunities. 

She was diagnosed with

“I hope the councils and 

central Government make 

the most of this fortunate 

delay.” 

Mr Wilson said the local 

residents hoped a delay in the 

opening would be a chance 

for the city council to come 

up with better traffic demand 

management options to mitigate 

the downstream effects of the 

motorway on the St Albans community. 

NZTA portfolio manager 

Colin MacKay said the CNC 

Alliance expected to open the 

motorway in time for Christmas. 

“The CNC Alliance expects 

to open the motorway from the 

Waimakariri bridge to Cranford 

St, including Tram Rd and carpool 

lanes just before Christmas 

this year,” he said. 

“A number of additions to this 

project as well as a re-evaluation 

of ground settlement times mean 

that we need to allow more time 

for completion.” 

However, local upgrades on

the new bridges at Belfast Rd, 

Contrary to a statement in 

last week’s Nor’West News, 

“New motorway sparks action 

plan,” feedback on work 

downstream of the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor has 

been acted on by council, has 

influenced decisions, and will 

continue to do so. 

Through three rounds of 

public engagement in 2018-19, 

aspects of the work evolved. 

Examples include traffic 

management design south of 

Berwick St, and the extent of 

traffic calming and the safe 

speed zones. Further consultation 

will be taking place soon in 

areas where council staff have 

identified a need for even more 

public input.

• By Georgia O’Connor-Harding 

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 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 

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.” 

No review over 

multi-storey house 

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. 

“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.

Your Local Views 

Citizen’s Advice Bureau: 

How we can support you 

AN INCREASE in the number 

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.

Cycle lanes mooted 

for Waimairi Rd 

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. 

“Along with the success of the 

major cycle route, there has been 

a lot more pressure on the Waimairi 

Rd area, with a number 

of accidents involving cyclists,” 

said Ms Ellis. 

“In order to ensure a safer 

environment for cyclists and 

motorists alike, cycle lanes are 

being considered to ease transport 

pressure.” 

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. 

CYCLE LANES: A large 

increase in cyclists using 

Waimairi Rd has prompted a 

proposal to install cycle lanes 

on the busy road. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

Two-hour parking restrictions 

on weekdays are also proposed 

for the east side of Waimairi Rd 

from 8am to 6pm during the 

months of March to November. 

Said Ms Ellis: “Any changes 

will be incorporated into 

planned work to resurface 

Waimairi Rd over the 2020-2021 

summer period.”

In your 

neighbourhood 

Christchurch’s newest 

independent bookstore 

“Science tells us that young children develop best when they are read to.” 

The Clocks Bookshop, Christchurch’s 

newest independent bookstore, opened 

December 2019. The Clocks is a real 

bookstore; we don’t sell toys, games, lotto 

tickets or stationery, just wonderful books. 

The Clocks specialises in Children’s 

books, Cookbooks, and Crime and 

Mystery books, but has a terrific range of 

fiction and non-fiction, too. 

“You have so many 

beautiful children’s 

books” our customers 

often tell us. 

We are biased of course, and so can’t help 

but agree, but we do aim to have the best 

range of children’s books in the city. 

For the youngest we have interactive 

touch-and-feel, lift-the-flap and board 

books. Next, is an extensive selection 

of beautiful picture books, some telling 

classic tales, others gentle stories with 

subtle messages on love, loss, and 

friendship. There is plenty of bedtime 

reading to help get toddlers to sleep, too. 

Also at The Clocks is a carefully selected 

range of classic and contemporary titles for 

older children and young adults, including 

books specifically designed and written for 

the dyslexic or reluctant reader. 

Anyone can find a recipe for almost 

anything online these days. So why does 

The Clocks Bookshop have more than 

700 titles on cooking, drinking and food 

writing, and why are sales of cookbooks on 

the upswing? 

Well, because cookbooks offer more than 

just recipes. In many ways they are like big, 

beautiful story books that evoke emotions, 

and ask and answer questions about 

society and culture. And, unlike online 

recipes, cookbooks have permanence-they 

can be passed down from generation to 

generation (with all the scribblings in the 

margins, the dog-ears and food-stained 

pages) thus contributing to a sense of 

family history. 

We are such big fans of the ‘Golden 

Age of Mysteries’ that we named our 

bookstore after the Agatha Christie novel, 

‘The Clocks.’ Golden Age mysteries were 

written during times 

that didn’t have 

CCTV, DNA, 

mobile phones 

and technology. 

Rather, it’s the 

brainpower of 

the detective 

that is the most 

vital to the stories 

of Christie, (more 

than 60 titles in stock!) 

Margery Allingham, 

Georges Simenon, Dorothy L. Sayers and 

Francis Durbridge. So, if you are fan of 

the Golden Age, or the more hard-boiled 

American style of the likes of Raymond 

Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and James M. 

Cain, come in and have a sleuth around. 

Contemporary crime fans are also well 

served with many titles from CWA Dagger 

winners such as James Lee Burke, Donna 

Leon, Ann Cleeves, and Peter James. And 

our ‘Crime Down-under’ features all the 

novels of Christchurch’s own, Paul Cleave.

Expert hairdressing and a 

friendly place to gather… 

Hairdresser Paula Page sees 

her new Aroha Salon in Kendal 

Avenue as more than just a 

hairdressing business – it’s also 

a warm, friendly gathering place 

for people in the community, 

she says. 

After recently returning to 

Christchurch, Paula opened 

Aroha Salon in October 2019, 

having had many years of 

experience in the industry 

both with her previous salon, 

Clipotec, in Riccarton Road, 

and on the Chatham Islands. 

The Kendal Avenue premises 

had been a hair salon, but 

when she took over there was 

nothing more than basins left. 

Paula has transformed the space with new 

fittings and a smart colour scheme – black 

and white with splashes of red, and at the 

same time has instilled a warm friendly 

atmosphere, which she says clients are 

enjoying. 

One of her whanau, JoAnn Tuuta, is 

Paula Page in her stylish Burnside salon, Aroha Salon 

assisting her in the salon, while JoAnn’s 

son Shasha Tuuta Thompson has created 

the distinctive salon logo. 

Drawing on her expertise and 

experience, Paula provides a professional 

and helpful service covering all facets of 

hairdressing, and catering for all ages and 

personal styles. 

“Whoever walks through 

the door, my aim is to meet 

everyone’s needs,” she says. 

She uses the environmentally 

friendly product range, 

LuminArt, which is made 

in Australia and provides 

protection and conditioning for 

the hair with its natural organic 

ingredients. 

Having always enjoyed 

working with people, Paula 

says she learns 

a lot from her 

clients, and 

is also keen 

to help them 

where she can. 

“For example, if 

someone is interested in getting 

into hairdressing, I can advise and 

encourage them,” she says. “I also like 

to help people improve their wellbeing.” 

Paula is currently seeking an 

experienced hairdresser to rent a chair 

at Aroha Salon, so she can expand the 

services. 

Aroha Salon is located at 162a Kendal 

Avenue, Burnside. Opening hours are 

Tuesday to Friday 9am to 5pm with a late 

night on Thursday, and Saturday 10am- 

1pm. To book an appointment, phone 

357 0002. 

Hanging outside the salon door, these 

paua scissors draw attention. 

And looks forward to welcoming 

previous & new clients

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

When is a good time to buy an investment property? 

Interest rates are at an all time low 

which in my opinion means that there 

is no better time than right now 

to purchase your first investment 

property, or add to your existing 

portfolio. 

Coupled with the low interest rates, 

we are also noticing that there are 

quite a few investors cashing up, which 

means there are more fantastic rentals 

coming to the market, and quite a few 

with really great sitting tenants. 

While there is no doubt that recent 

legislation requirements for rental 

properties has increased the cost 

for landlords, with upgrading of 

insulation, heating, ventilation etc, 

it can be argued however that these 

things actually improve the value of 

your property in the long run, so it is in 

actual fact well spent money. 

Although we are yet to see any 

significant rise in rents in Canterbury 

we are noticing small increases to 

help cover the extra costs landlords 

are incurring through upgrades and 

increases in other costs like rates and 

insurance. I guess you could say that 

rental properties have their own kind 

of inflation – when costs increase to 

landlords, to ensure they remain a 

viable investment, costs of rents must 

also rise. 

There are of course many ways you can 

invest in your future, term deposits, 

shares and a multitude of other options 

are now easily accessible, however 

with interest rates as low as they are, I 

believe that owning rental property has 

never looked better. 

My opinion is obviously somewhat 

biased, however this is echoed by many 

other successful property investors 

throughout the world. “The wise 

man or wage earner of today invests 

his money in real estate”, Andrew 

Carnegie.

How to Keep Things Under Control When 

Buying Property 

“The happiest people don’t have 

the best of everything, they make 

the best of everything” 

Having been in real estate my 

entire working life I have met 

people with a little money, a lot 

of money, a big deposit, a begged 

and borrowed deposit, inherited 

funds, worked two jobs funds, 

worked overseas funds, worked 

their way up the ladder funds, 

missed out on family time funds, still 

driving the same car funds, invested 

wisely funds, pooled with friends 

funds and helped out by mum and 

dad funds. 

One thing I can tell you, regardless 

of how you pulled your purchasing 

money together and no matter 

how much you have to spend you’ll 

naturally be yearning for the houses 

just out of your budget. If only you 

had $400,000 to spend instead 

of $380,000…$550,000 to spend 

instead of $500,000, $1.2 instead of 

$1M and so on. I offer the following 

piece of advice to those of you 

looking to buy property and that is 

whatever you are pre-approved to 

spend shop considerably UNDER 

it! For example if you are preapproved 

to $400,000 instead 

look at houses in the mid $3’s 

range, if you are pre-approved for 

$900,000 shop from $750,000 up. 

Feature Property 

This way you can confidently shop 

for property within your budget 

rather than hoping by some miracle 

a $430,000 house will be sold to 

you for $399,000, or a $970,000 

home for $900,000. Further you 

will be able to comfortably afford 

the mortgage and you can always 

add value and improvements to 

a lesser value property in future. 

Sometimes a little out of the box 

thinking when it comes to real 

estate can go a long way and in this 

case using the above advice could 

save you from too many frustrations 

and disappointments when looking 

to purchase your next property.

Ronald McDonald House 

Help us support this amazing charity this 

March! 

The Ray White Papanui team has been 

challenged....Challenged by Ronald 

McDonald House to walk, run, bike or swim 

at least 210KM this March! Why 210KM 

you may ask? Because every month New 

Zealand families travel an average of at least 

210KM for their child to receive hospital 

treatment away from home. 

A few things you might not know about 

Ronald McDonald House 

• They give families with a hospitalised 

child what they need most – each other 

• Every year they offer over 4,300 families 

across New Zealand accommodation 

and support free of charge. This helps to 

relieve stresses like paying for a place to 

sleep near the hospital, organising family 

meals and needing a friendly ear to listen 

on tough days 

• Our local RMH is in Cashel Street and 

they have been here for 17 years 

• Any family whose child is traveling here
