Bus fares to return 

FARES WILL BE reinstated on public 

transport services from Monday after 

several weeks of free travel. 

The New Zealand Transport Agency 

provided free fares under level 4 and 

3, but that was coming to an end now 

the country had been shifting down 

alert levels. 

Environment Canterbury senior 

manager public transport Stewart 

Gibbon said although passengers 

would be charged for travel on local 

bus services from next week, Metrocards, 

which were usually $10 were 

being provided free this month to 

encourage contactless payments. 

“During our response to Covid-19, 

we’ve all become used to the simplicity 

of paying with contactless methods 

whenever we can. We would like to 

support our customers to continue 

this when they use public transport, 

and so we will be providing Metrocards 

free of charge all month,” he 

said. 

Mr Gibbon says the Ministry of 

Health has approved the use of cash 

on public transport but Metrocards 

provide access to cheaper fares. 

“Your cash takes you further, as 

fares are at least 25 per cent less with a 

Metrocard. They also provide capped 

daily and weekly fares, and the card’s 

credit amount is secure if the card is 

registered and subsequently stolen.” 

COSTS: Bus fares will return next week after several weeks of free 

travel.

Bridget’s dedication earns award 


COMPLETING more than 250 

hours of community service was 

expected to take about five years, 

but Bridget Maw of Rangi Ruru 

Girls’ School achieved just that 

in a matter of weeks. 

Because of her dedication, the 

year 12 student recently received 

a silver Student Volunteer Army 

award once she reached the 

milestone. 

“I was super excited, and it was 

such a great feeling knowing I 

was using my time to help other 

people in some way,” she said. 

The Covid-19 pandemic originally 

put her volunteering efforts 

to a halt. 

Prior to the lockdown, she had 

done about 20 hours of service; 

face painting at the children’s 

day event in New Brighton and 

watering native trees 

at Drayton Park, Mt Pleasant. 

She did not let the limitations 

of lockdown get her down and 

instead used the time to gather 

materials around the house to 

knit a blanket which was later 

donated to the Red Cross. 

“The idea came about when 

someone from the boarding 

house at school suggested 

knitting squares to be stitched 

together later as a blanket. 

“But after I knitted the first few 

squares, I decided to keep going 

and ended up making a whole 

blanket myself. 

“I was knitting 10 hours a day 

over three weeks and towards 

the end of lockdown I was doing 

about 11 hours.” 

When Bridget was not volunteering, 

she focused her energy 

on academics as she was undertaking 

triple science at school. 

Beyond high school, she 

wanted to study vet science, 

engineering or health sciences 

and planned to continue her 

charitable efforts moving 

forward. 

Nurse Maude was an organisation 

she held close to her heart 

SERVICE: Year 

12 Rangi Ruru 

student Bridget 

Maw knitted a 

blanket over 

three weeks 

during lockdown 

that was donated 

to the Red Cross. 

and she hoped to support them 

more in the future. 

“When I was nine-years-old, 

my dad died of cancer and he 

received hospice care there and 

they gave my family so much 

support,” Bridget said. 

It was because of this that 

sparked her passion for volunteering 

at various organisations, 

knowing the impact it can have 

when someone took the time out 

of their day to help. 

She encouraged young people, 

now more than ever, to get 

involved with a cause or charity 

they were willing to back. 

Said Bridget: “It’s such a good 

feeling to see the impact you’re 

having on the community, 

whether it’s creating something 

or volunteering your time. 

“You never know when 

you’re the one who will need 

help, especially now during the 

Covid-19 pandemic.”

BRANCHING OUT: Arbor Day at Papanui Bush went without a 

hitch, with people banding together to plant native trees. 

Arbor Day celebrated 

by community 

FAMILIES, SCHOOL groups 

and local communities 

branched out at Papanui Bush 

for this year’s Arbor Day. 

Planting days took place at a 

number of popular spots around 

the city in order to raise awareness 

about the importance of 

trees. 

Said Papanui-Innes Community 

Board chairwoman Emma 

Norrish: “Thankfully, the 

weather held off for our annual 

Arbor Day planting at Papanui 

Bush. It was great to have a 

number of volunteers down here 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now! 

helping, and the growth over the 

past year has been amazing.” 

She said Papanui Rotary 

was out in force, and students 

from Papanui High School also 

helped out. 

“We know that by 

nurturing our environment 

through targeted tree planting 

that we can improve the overall 

well-being of our community 

and help mitigate climate 

change.” 

Eco-Action Nursery Trust was 

also there to provide guidance 

to volunteers.

“It was very surprising – I’m 

really amazed and proud. I 

haven’t had time to absorb it” 

Mrs Bisset has been a member 

of the Rotary Club of Christchurch 

since 1993 becoming the president 

in 2009. 

Over the course of 21 years, 

she helped raise close to $1.3 

million for children’s charities in 

Canterbury as part of the Rotary 

organising committee it. 

THe funding went to 

supporting families in a range 

of charities such as the Life 

Education Trust and the Halberg 

Disability Sport Foundation. 

“We felt there was a need 

to specifically help children 

so a number of us formed 

a committee to assist these 

charities, with funding going 

towards things like projects and 

fundraisers,” she said. 

“I’m delighted to be involved 

with Rotary, doing something 

outside my work environment, 

meeting people from different 

walks of life and sometimes going 

abroad.” 

Mrs Bisset was born in 

Christchurch and is the oldest 

of five children. She has four 

children and nine grandchildren.

She was a registered nurse and 

was currently a board member 

of the Burwood Academy of 

Independent Living, a researchbased 

organisation that helped 

people with spinal cord injuries. 

‘It’s a 

wonderful 

feeling to 

be able to 

give back.’ 

– Robyn 

Bisset 

“Having worked at Burwood 

Hospital many years ago, it 

resonated with me to be a board 

member so it has been very 

rewarding.” 

Her charitable efforts did not 

stop there; going on to become 

the Canterbury Club’s first female 

president since it was established 

145 years ago. 

“THe club is for professional 

and business people. It’s a lively 

environment, a great place to 

have meetings and to get working 

opportunities,” said Mrs Bisset. 

“It was a men-only 

environment for a long time, but 

now 20 per cent of members are 

women which feels fantastic.”

Volunteer-run, the trust 

managed the maintenance of 

the chapel as well as provided

“It’s a pretty important part of 

my life.”

knitting and staying active. 

Said Mrs Bisset: “I would 

encourage anyone to contribute 

to their communities, you never

look at how Covid-19 decimated 

the world.

you’ll most certainly get back.”

SENIOR LIVING 

Centuries old folk remedy 

supports good health! 

A fermented liquid health tonic offers an array 

of powerful health benefits. It is none other 

than the popular apple cider vinegar or ACV. 

Since the time of Hippocrates – the “Father of 

Medicine” – ACV has been renowned for its 

curative properties. 

In his popular book “ARTHRITIS and FOLK 

MEDICINE”, DR. D.C. Jarvis reports how he 

found that Vermonters who regularly consumed 

ACV and Honey had excellent health with many 

putting in a vigorous day’s work on the farm 

even when well into their eighties. He also noted 

the effects of ACV and H on arthritis to be 

remarkable with many patients reporting almost 

total relief after taking a course of the mixture. 

Dr. Jarvis surmised that the acid and potassium 

in cider vinegar counteracted calcium deposits 

and helped the body control calcium use. He 

also noted that Vermonters who consumed ACV 

and H around meal time had excellent blood 

pressure and circulation. The reason he found 

was that protein foods thickened the blood 

and vinegar thinned it. As the blood thickens 

it cannot pass as easily and quickly through the 

blood vessels and capillaries. This poor blood 

flow would reduce cellular health by limiting 

nutrients to the cells as well as waste elimination 

from the cells. To prevent cell damage the body 

naturally increases blood pressure but this puts 

more stress on the blood vessels, organs and 

heart. Having ACV and H with meals will help 

prevent protein raising the blood pressure. It 

also contributes to a feeling of greater well-being 

because the thinner blood circulates quickly and 

more easily through the blood vessels. Dr. Jarvis 

found regular consumption of CV and H to be 

an excellent health tonic with numerous health 

attributes. 

ACV is highly nutritious as it contains all the 

goodness of the apple in a form that is readily 

accepted by the body. Good health starts with 

good digestion and assimilation of nutrients. 

ACV taken before food will stimulate and 

promote healthy digestion and assimilation 

of vital nutrients for good health. A wellfunctioning 

digestive system helps prevent 

disease by neutralising any toxic substances that 

enter the body. 

It is important to note not all ACV is produced 

in the traditional way and results are likely to 

prove disappointing with these other vinegars. 

Marshall’s Premium ACV and ACV with 20% 

Manuka Honey is produced in Canterbury from 

organic whole apples in the traditional way. It is 

double strength so you can use less.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS 


Customers pleased with honest, 

reliable vehicle servicing 

Having your vehicle regularly serviced is 

key to getting the best out of it in terms of 

fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear 

on expensive parts. 

Kevin, who owns and operates Parker 

Automotive in Birmingham Drive, 

provides full vehicle servicing to keep your 

vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs, 

batteries and tyres. 

He also carries out all mechanical repairs, 

including cam belt replacement, suspension 

work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only 

repairing what’s necessary, and without 

charging the earth. 

He has owned the business since 2007, 

and over that time has established a loyal 

customer base – people that rely on him 

to give them sound advice and provide 

professional care and servicing for their 

vehicles. 

Customers come from across the city, 

Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell 

and Middleton areas, and the business has 

received many positive Google reviews 

from customers. Below are some examples: 

I have been going to Parker Automotive 

for the last eight years and I cannot fault the 

service. The mechanical work has been top 

notch! If you want top service and value for 

money I recommend Parker Automotive. – 

Daniel Jay 

I’ve had all sorts of work done here from 

basic servicing and warrants through to 

major work like clutches, replacement 

coilovers and bushings. Kevin is a very 

honest guy who gets the job done in a very 

timely manor and he has outstanding 

communication. The overall service I’ve 

received is excellent. – Lachlan Poole 

I know it’s not always about price but 

sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs, 

you just want a perceived good deal and work 

carried out by someone who seems to care. 

Kevin came recommended by a friend, and 

what a great recommendation. His work was 

clean, efficient, fast and came in under what 

I thought it was going to cost. So we took my 

partner’s car there two days later and that 

too was completed faster than we expected 

and at an almost unbelievable cost.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

Property Market Changes Likely to Be Regional 

New Zealand is divided into 16 

different regions, Auckland has 

a population of 1,570,100 and 

Greymouth 9,700. We have towns 

and cities from Darfield to Dargaville 

to Dipton to Dobson to Doyleston to 

Drury, Dunedin and Duntroon. 

Our point? 

When you are reading current and 

upcoming media coverage about 

“the property market” please keep 

in mind these are usually sweeping 

generalisations and largely weighted 

towards what is happening mainly in 

Auckland’s market....sometimes it can 

be forgotten there is the “rest of New 

Zealand’’ hanging off our main city. 

What is happening here in the 

Christchurch and Canterbury property 

markets may be extremely different to 

other parts of New Zealand so our best 

advice is to: 

1. Avoid the front page nationwide 

property market coverage 

2. Seek out local statistics and 

updates 

3. Speak with a local agent about 

buyer enquiry levels and general 

market activity 

4. Consult a local mortgage broker 

or your lender about what activity 

they are seeing in their field. 

The number of mortgage preapprovals 

sitting on their books 

is often a good indicator on how 

many buyers are in the current 

market especially if they can 

tell if it is more or less than 

they would typically see at that 

time of year or at the same time 

last year. 

A combination of the above research 

should give you a good overall 

picture on what is happening in the 

area relevant to you. Again, what is 

happening in Auckland might not be 

the same case in Aranga, Arapohue, 

Arrowtown or Arundel! 

If you would like to discuss your local 

market further please don’t hesitate to 

get in touch with us.

It’s that time of the year again and many of us have started working on our 

taxes for the last financial year. I often find that many landlords are not aware of 

the claims that can be made on property management fees and other expenses 

associated with owning an investment property. To maximise the full potential 

of your investment it is important to properly understand what can be claimed. 

Here is a breakdown of some of the key costs you could claim back: 

• Insurance & rates: You can claim back the full cost of insuring your rental 

property and the council rates associated with the ownership of the 

property. 

• Interest: You can claim the interest charged on money you’ve borrowed 

to buy your rental property. However you can only claim the interest that 

relates directly to the rental property. 

• Fees: You can claim 100% of the fees paid to property managers who 

collect the rent, maintain your rental, or find tenants for you. You can 

claim the fees charged by an accountant for: Your accounts to be managed, 

tax returns to be prepared, advice. However, you can’t claim for any costs 

involved in the initial set-up of your rental property. Where your total legal 

fees for any given year are $10,000 or less, you can claim a deduction for 

the legal expenses involved with buying a rental property. If you’re in the 

business of providing residential rental accommodation, you may also claim 

legal fees incurred when selling a rental property from your portfolio. 

• Repairs & maintenance 

You can claim back the costs for any repairs to the property or general 

maintenance. However, if you’re doing the work yourself you can only 

claim for materials, not your own time. If the work is an improvement to the 

property rather than a repair, then you can’t claim that cost as an expense. 

The distinction between repairs and improvements can be tricky. If you’re 

unsure whether work done on your property is repairs or maintenance it’s 

advisable to speak to a chartered accountant. 

• Depreciation 

Depreciation is an allowance you can claim to cover the costs of wear 

and tear and general ageing of furniture and fittings you’ve bought for 

your rental property. You can combine assets worth less than $5,000, 

rather than depreciating them separately. You can no longer claim 

depreciation on the property’s land or buildings. This can be a complex 

area and for more information we suggest you speak with a chartered 

accountant. 

Other costs you may be able to claim include body corporate fees, valuation 

fees, gifts for tenants and travel associated with managing your property. If 

you have any questions about the above please get in touch with our team and 

your accountant and make sure you are maximising the full potential of your 

investment!
