Redcliffs School in breach
of boundary conditions
• By Jess Gibson
PART OF the new $16m
Redcliffs School has been built in
breach of a condition set out in
the District Plan.
The Beachville Rd campus
reopened on June 22 after a
nine-year journey to rebuild the
school, which was demolished
at its former Main Rd site following
the February 22, 2011,
earthquake.
But behind
the scenes, there
have been issues
over a breach of
boundary conditions,
a report
has revealed.
Chris
Doudney
Ministry
of Education
applied to
“regularise” the
breach, which was heard by the
Resource Management Act hearings
panel on Friday.
The meeting was adjourned
and MoE has two weeks to submit
a written right of reply.
Once the commissioner has
received this information there
is a further 15 working days for
the decision. Under the District
Plan, a rule states no part of a
building should project beyond a
building envelope contained by a
recession plane.
It is to prevent effects on
adjoining properties, and in this
case, the building’s height has
proven impacts on daylight and
sunlight into the section at 19
Main Rd.
Friends of Redcliffs Park
spokesman Chris Doudney, who
was strongly opposed to the new
school being built at the Beachville
Rd site, has read the report
identifying the breach.
He said the breach “really
confirms what an unsuitable
site” Redcliffs Park was for a new
school.
Mr Doudney petitioned for the
school to be built at the former

site in 2018 but was unsuccessful.
The owner of 19 Main Rd, an
empty section neighbouring the
school, complained to the city
council about the height of the
building last year.

Pot holes ‘downright depressing’
• By Jess Gibson
HEATHCOTE Valley residents
will have to wait until the
weather gets warmer before
a road badly damaged by a
contentious pipeline project gets
fixed.
Scruttons Rd has been badly
chewed up while a $9 million
pipeline goes in during phase
four of the city council’s Lyttelton
Harbour Wastewater
Scheme, frustrating residents
Creag Foxton-McCulloch and
Victoria Foxton.
“We once had a quiet lovely
piece of Christchurch where
people came to walk every day.
It is now just an appalling mess
and breaks my heart as well
as those people who enjoyed
coming here. No-one bothers
walking down any more,” Mr
Foxton-McCulloch said.
It has now been 14 months
since Heathcote Valley residents
began experiencing the impacts
the pipeline being installed outside
their property and they say
it has been “torturous” during
that time.
They have previously complained
to the city council about
noise, dust, potholes, mud and
ground-shaking, among other
impacts.
Mr Foxton-McCulloch
and Ms Foxton say they
were told before the project
started they would only be
inconvenienced for about six
months.
DEVASTATING:
Victoria
Foxton and
Creag Foxton-
McCulloch
say people
no longer
walk along
Scruttons Rd
due to ongoing
construction
and damage
caused by a city
council project.
Now they say the muddy,
pothole-filled area outside their
home is “downright depressing.”
The city council’s project
team has worked with impacted
residents over the course of the
works to find solutions to these
concerns.
City council head of Three
Waters and Waste Helen Beaumont
said it is Fulton Hogan’s
responsibility to maintain the
site in a safe state and restore the
site once the work is complete.
“As soon as the warmer
weather and sunshine returns
(our usual growing season) the
contractor will be reinstating
the land along Scruttons Rd and
re-grassing the berms.”
Construction of the pipeline
is almost complete, with “150m
of pipeline remaining, plus the
installation of two access chambers,”
she said.
Mr Foxton-McCulloch said he
and Ms Foxton will be meeting
with city council staff to discuss
the issues next week.
“We’re still in the tunnel and
I don’t know if we can see a
light. But once we get out of the
tunnel we’ll have a look and see
what they’re actually going to
do.”
He said a previous attempt
to re-grass berms and fix part
of the road has been ineffective.
Mr Foxton-McCulloch said
potholes filled with mud have
also been attracting anti-social
behaviour from people driving
through them recklessly.
In Brief
‘RESERVE’ COULD BE SOLD
A 326 sq m plot of land in
Lyttelton, which is owned by
the city council, could be sold to
the public. The unused space at
10 Shakleton Tce currently has
“reserve status” which prevents
the land from being disposed
and sold by the city council.
However, the Banks Peninsula
Community Board has
recommended to the city council
that it revokes the status of the
area. If approved, the public will
be notified of the move and have
a chance to object before it gains
consent from the Minister of
Conservation.
FUNDS FOR PATHWAY
A $15.8 million project to
finish the Coastal Pathway
will be funded as part of
the Government’s “shovelready”
plan to stimulate the
economy and create jobs.
Infrastructure Minister Shane
Jones announced the funding
last week to complete the final
stage around Moncks Bay
between Redcliffs and Shag
Rock. The complete 6.5km
shared pathway will run
from Ferrymead Bridge to
Scarborough. Construction
work is expected to start in six
months. Detailed design and
consenting work will continue
around the Moncks Bay stretch.

Volunteers recognised
DEVOTED: Mike Smith has been named the top surf
lifesaving volunteer in Canterbury.
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
• By Jess Gibson
MIKE Smith’s dedication
to saving lives goes beyond
his career as a road safety
specialist.
The Stantec principal
transport engineer has
been patrolling with the
Taylors Mistake Surf Life
Saving Club for more than
20 years and is chairman
of its committee, as well as
vice-president of the national
Surf Life Saving New
Zealand committee.
And now, he has been
named the top regional
volunteer in SLSNZ’s
Canterbury awards of
excellence, which were
announced online over the
weekend.
He was one of a long
list of people from the
Bay Harbour News area
recognised in the regional
awards, which cover clubs
at Nelson, Rarangi, Buller,
Kotuku, Waikuku Beach,
Spencer Park, Waimairi,
North Beach, New
Brighton, South Brighton,
Sumner and Taylors
Mistake.
One of Mr Smith’s
most memorable rescues
included saving Irish tourist
Cormac O’Brennan’s
life when he fell more than
20m from rocks above
Taylors Mistake head first
in January last year.
Mr O’Brennan was taken
to Christchurch Hospital
in a critical condition and
doctors gave him a less
than 10 per cent chance of
survival – but he made a
remarkable recovery.
Another big rescue for
Mr Smith was when a Taylors
Mistake team member
had a cardiac arrest during
a major competition.
“[We had] such a fantastic
team that had an amazing
outcome.”
Mr Smith is no stranger
to victory at the annual
awards – he has won a
range of awards including
official of the year in 2019
and surf life saving club
rescue of the year with his
team of nine in 2018.

for dedication to lifesaving work in the surf
However, he still said the announcement
came as “a bit of a
surprise.”
“There’s just so many people
out there who are deserving of
that.”
Mr Smith said both his sons,
Nick, 30, and Hamish, 27, were
raised with surf lifesaving and he
said it was “a good time” being
involved together.
SLSNZ’s southern regional
manager Stu Bryce said Mr
Smith has been named in recognition
of his involvement at a
club, regional and national level,
particularly in the health and
safety sector.
“Mike’s service to surf is
decades old and it is people like
him who are the backbone of
the sport and the service side of
lifeguarding.”
Taylors Mistake’s Louis Clark
has been named sportsperson
of the year, after he represented
the Junior Black Fins at the
international surf rescue
challenge in Durban, South
Africa, in 2019.
He returned home to compete
at the 2019 New Zealand pool
rescue championships, where he
won the under-19 male 200m
swim with obstacles and placed
third in both the under-19 male
100m rescue medley and 50m
manikin carry.
Back at the beach, Clark won
the under-19 male board rescue
alongside Ben Regan, and
placed second in the under-19
male rescue tube rescue with
Ben, Jacob Clements and Zach
Goldsmith.
Said Mr Bryce: “Louis
excelled in the local and
regional pool and beach events
winning both the open and
under-19 run swim run and
surf races at the southern region
championships.”
Another Taylors Mistake
SLSC volunteer, Luke Smith,
was named lifeguard of the
year.

Record numbers
of bidders
per auction!
Make no mistake, we’re seeing amazing activity among
buyers in our local property market. Well marketed,
well presented properties are attracting huge interest
from well qualified buyers to the point where our
numbers of registered bidders per auction property is
continuing to climb. 3.3 registered bidders is an average
across the country for Ray White but here at Ray White
Ferrymead we’ve had anywhere from 6 to 11 registered
bidders turning up to actively bid on some of our local
properties. Keep in mind, these are buyers who have got
themselves into a position
whereby they can bid on
a cash and unconditional
basis. Unfortunately, only
one can buy it which means in one case 10 people left
the auction with the cash still in their pocket and even
more determined to buy the next one!
Seriously, if you are thinking of selling, now is the time!
Buyers are queuing up at our open homes not wanting
to miss out. Call us today!

Funding woes for water projects
• By Louis Day
MORE THAN $5 million could
be deferred from wastewater,
stormwater and water supply
projects across the Banks
Peninsula over the next 12
months.
This comes as the city council
looks to readjust its priorities in
the face of the Covid-19 crisis
which left it with a $99 million
revenue shortfall.
It has proposed
as part
of its draft
Annual Plan
to defer a total
of $5,791,627
in funds to
water-related
Tori Peden
projects across
the peninsula
for the current financial year.
This includes a deferral of
almost $1.3 million on work towards
the new Okains Bay water
supply, which would leave the
project with no money for the
next 12 months.
Residents and the councilowned
Okains Bay campground
source water from a private
scheme administered by a committee
in the community.
The supply does not meet the
Drinking Water Standards for
New Zealand.
INCONVENIENCE: A readjustment of the city council’s Annual Plan could see a deferral of $1.2
million on work towards the new Okains Bay water supply for the next 12 months.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Tori Peden
thought this posed a health
and safety risk for the Okains
Bay community and the campground
in particular.
“Making sure every camper is
boling their water is difficult and
it is a health and safety risk when
the campground can have up to
500 people in it,” she said.
The city council is also proposing
deferrals to two other
water supply projects on the
peninsula, with $499,340 to the
Lyttelton Rail tunnel pipeline
and $390,000 Libeau Lane
and Chemin Du Nache mains
renewal in Akaroa, which would
leave both projects with nothing
for the financial year.
It would also see $1,076,149
taken away from the Akaroa
Wastewater scheme, leaving the
project with $1,263,783 for the
financial year.
A further $2,526,139 could
also be taken away from the
Lyttelton Brick Barrels renewals
stormwater package, leaving the
project with $750,000.
The city council will consider
reallocating funding towards
any deferred projects when it
addresses its Long Term Plan
next year.
The city council was forced to
reassess its finances following
the effects of the Covid-19 crisis.
Leaving the lost income and
additional costs arising from the
pandemic unaddressed would
have driven a rates increase of
more than 21 per cent for the
current financial year.
The city council is now proposing
an average rates rise of
3.5 per cent after making cuts
to certain areas of its budget. It
is currently processing submissions
made to its draft Annual
Plan before councillors sign off
on a final one by the end of this
month.
Breach to have
minor effect
•From page 1
A city council spokesperson
said it was then identified the
recession plane angle was incorrectly
drawn on plans by Tennent
Brown Architects following a
review of the consent documentation
in October.
“There have been ongoing
discussions between the architect
and the neighbours which didn’t
resolve the
matter. Subsequently,
an
application was
made to alter
the designation.”
“If the application
is
Kim Shannon
declined, there is a right of appeal
to the Environment Court. Alternatively,
the southern part of the
building could be modified.”
Ministry of Education’s head of
education infrastructure service
Kim Shannon said when the
breach was discovered, the main
superstructure of the building
had already been built.
She said the ministry received
expert advice the breach was
likely to have only a minor effect
on the vacant section.
A Tennent Brown Architects
spokesperson said it is not in
a position to comment as the
hearing was ongoing.

STRIKING:
Sumner
resident
Eleanor
Grimshaw
had her
vibrant
pieces on
show at
The Rock
recently.
Evoking positive emotions
aim of art exhibition
VIBRANT artwork on show
in Sumner has been designed
to lift spirits and evoke positive
emotions of viewers.
Sumner artist Eleanor Grimshaw
recently held her first-ever
exhibition at The Rock, Wakefield
Ave, and her paintings will remain
on display until July 20.
The collection is a colourful
mix of watercolour and acrylic,
some with pen and wash over the
top, with flowers being the central
theme.
The Rock, a not-for-profit community
organisation in Sumner,
asked Grimshaw to do an exhibition
in February after seeing her
Instagram art page and it was
meant to be held in April.
But plans were put on hold
when the country went into alert
level 4 lockdown and Grimshaw,
who is known for her photorealistic
portraits, used the time
to explore a different art-form.
“I thought if I’m going to be
doing an exhibition where people
might potentially buy this stuff
it would be nice for them to have
some colourful cheery art, that
when they look at it, it makes them
feel in a positive way rather than
that serious photo-realistic stuff.
Grimshaw was first inspired to
switch up her style when she was
house hunting in the area with
her sister earlier in the year and
fell in love with the homes which
had colourful stand-out art.
“Without being corny I think
having a bit of happy stuff to look
at around the home is probably
quite nice in case we get stuck in
our houses again.”
More than 80 guests attended
Grimshaw’s exhibition and
she sold more than half of her
paintings, making about $2500.
BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY
Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a nonprofit
organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s most important
coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird found in the estuary. Her
column aims to raise the understanding of the values and uniqueness of the area.
Gull in declining numbers
THE RED-billed gull/tarapunga
is commonly seen anywhere
around the estuary, along the
rivers and even in the city –
particularly when you are trying
to enjoy your fish and chips on
one of the many car parks with
a spectacular view over the
estuary.
But this once common gull is
not so common anymore … it is
now on the list with a classification
of at risk and declining.
Only five years ago it was
normal to count 8000 and more
around the estuary alone but
numbers have been declining to
just more than 4000 today. The
well-known, well studied and
one of the largest red-billed gull
colonies in New Zealand near
Kaikoura has seen a drop of 49
per cent in the population.
So, what is going on? Firstly,
cats, rats and stoats are stealing
eggs and chicks, which are easy
prey when the red billed-gulls
nest on the ground. Secondly,
due to climate-induced weather
changes and water temperatures
the krill population is declining.
Krill is the main food supply for
these gulls and this is no longer
always available to them. Some
of you may remember the ‘rafts
DECLINE: The red-billed gull is now listed as at risk.
PHOTO: PAUL CORLISS
of red krill floating on the surface’
in and around the estuary.
This sight has indeed been less
common.
Gulls will also eat small fish,
insects, worms as well as any
human scrap found near rubbish
bins and landfills or bread fed by
many locals.
However, this is the third
cause of their demise as processed
food is detrimental to any
bird, resulting adults to produce
weak chicks making them
vulnerable to harsh weather and
predators, as well as shortening
their lifespan.
How can we help prevent
losing not only our red-billed
gulls but also other bird species?
Control near your home. Place a
collar and bell on your cat so the
birds at least have some warning
while nesting but preferably
keep your cat indoors during the
night.

[Edition datE]
Compact venue faces
tough competition
QUITE SIMPLY, I don’t
understand how it works,
two companies under the
one umbrella selling similar
models.
I’m talking about Hyundai
and Kia, both of which have
released the Venue and
Seltos respectively, small
sport utility vehicles that
have just landed in the New
Zealand market.
I’m a big believer in
shared product development
and componentry, it makes
for cost savings which
then trickle down to the
customer, but these two
models compete in a tight
market where choices will
be made solely on cost and
value.
Regular readers may recall
my Kia Seltos evaluation in
late March. The car in this
review is Hyundai’s Venue,
and while both share the
same floorpan and many
similarities,there are plenty
of differing features such
as exterior design and
drivelines.
The Venue also has a
shorter wheelbase than
the Seltos, and measures
just 4m against the Seltos
at 4.3m. But therein lies a
bit of a trick, for those who
definitely want, or need, a
small SUV then the Venue is
the pick.
It fits into a market where
the buyer will benefit from
the easy access up front and
tall seat height, it’s great for
those in my generation who
are advancing in years. If
you don’t have young ones
in tow or seldom have rear
seat passengers and like the
manoeuvrability short cars
offer, then the Venue has
advantages.
It also has a more
traditional driveline, its
1.6-litre engine is paired
to a six-speed automatic
gearbox, as opposed to
the continuously variable
transmission in the Seltos.
And if you are already
thinking that the Venue’s
1591cc engine wouldn’t
compete against its
stablemate’s 2-litre unit,
then think again. Hyundai
rate the Venue at 90kW and
151Nm, and although both
outputs are realised tall in
the rev band at 6300rpm
and 4850rpm respectively,
the engine doesn’t work
overly hard.
HYUNDAI VENUE ELITE: Short-wheelbase
translates to manoeuvrability.
That’s because at just
over 1100kg, the Venue in
total is a lightweight, and
that doesn’t ask much from
under the bonnet.
This engine is used widely
across the Hyundai/Kia
range, in turbo and nonturbo
form, it is a sweet
unit that delivers smoothly
and quietly. The naturally
aspirated unit in the Venue
is responsive and fills the
close gaps between gears
easily.
• Price – Hyundai
Venue Elite, $31,990
• Dimensions –
Length, 4040mm;
width, 1770mm;
height, 1592mm
• Configuration –
Four-cylinder, frontwheel-drive,
1591cc,
90kW, 151Nm, sixspeed
automatic.
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 11sec
• Fuel usage –
7.2l/100km
In terms of performance,
the Venue will reach
100km/h from a standstill in
11sec. It isn’t a fast car, but
then again the market it is
destined for doesn’t require
speed, it is capable amidst
the hurly burly of today’s
traffic, and that is all that
would be requested from it.
Hyundai claims a
combined cycle average fuel
usage figure of 7.2-litres per
100km. That fits well with
the consumption gauge in
STYLISH: The Hyundai Venue is characterised
by a short, squat rear quarter.
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
the test car, it was showing
8.4l/100km when I returned
it to the dealership.
In Elite form the Venue
rides on 205/55 x 17in
Nexen tyres, that is quite a
sizeable amount of rubber
for a small car, but the
benefit is the grip that
can be gleaned and the
associated ride benefits.
The Venue gets a torsion
beam rear suspension; put
simply, each wheel is not
independent from the other,
there’s an axle tying them
together which doesn’t allow
as much freedom as there
would be otherwise.
That’s fine, so long as the
spring and damper rates
have been well chosen;
thankfully, Hyundai have
done a lot of development
work for Australasian
roads and the Venue has a
comfortable, absorbent ride
with tidy handling manners.
At almost 1.6m, you would
expect some gravitational
effect, but it is arrested well,
body movement over the
suspension won’t lurch
occupants.
In Elite form the Venue
has enough wizardry to
keep buyers happy. Major
items of fitment include
part leather trim, keyless
entry and ignition, central
screen touch display, Apple
Car Play and Android
Auto capability and heated
steering wheel, the latter
ideal for those frosty
Canterbury mornings.
If you don’t need all the
bells and whistles of the
Elite, the Venue also lands
here in entry-level form, it
doesn’t miss out on much
and will still give plenty
of satisfaction within the
buying experience.
The Venue lands at a
special launch price. It lists at
$27,990 for a limited time. It
will go up to $29,990 at any
given point, and you’d need
to add $4k for Elite trim.
That doesn’t quite meet
the keen price of Kia Seltos,
but it is close and with the
Venue’s extra goodies I guess
buyer choice will come
down to whatever feels right
on the day of purchase.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Upskilling
transforms
careers
Do you ever look at your boss and think
“I could do that job better”? Or wonder
what it would take to get a promotion? If
you’re seeking to advance your career, now
could be the perfect time to ‘sharpen your
tools’.
Ara Institute of Canterbury has decades of
experience in helping people to upskill and
move ahead in their chosen field. It offers
area-specific professional development,
for example in nursing and IT, and short
courses in subjects that can benefit anyone,
like everyday computing, leadership and
health and safety.
Ara also has more advanced upskilling
opportunities like diplomas and graduate
diplomas that can be studied part-time
while you’re working. This option worked
well for Caleb McGrail when he was a
carpentry apprentice.
“I wanted to progress my career within
the industry,” Caleb explains. “I chose a
diploma in construction management at
Ara because it was a locally based course
that I could study part-time while I worked,
and because it met my educational needs.”
Caleb says the diploma course enabled
him to see beyond his role as a carpenter
and how it integrates with other roles in the
industry. He’s now a leading hand carpenter,
working on new builds, refurbishments
and fit-out projects. He says his upskilling
experience enabled him to progress with

his employer Brosnan Construction and
he’s enjoying being able to use his new
knowledge to benefit his role.
Ara’s short upskilling courses can reap
rewards too, as Thomas King discovered.
A co-director of a logistics business, he
realised he needed to embrace technology
rather than fear it.
“The world is rapidly changing and
having some confidence and competence
in computing is crucial,” he says. Thomas
took his first steps at Ara Connect, which
offers free, non-assessed computing courses
for anyone wanting to gain skills and
confidence using digital technology.
“I fell in love with collaboration tools
which can help me complete a host of
project management tasks. Knowing how to
use computers in a way that delivers results
makes life so much easier, especially in
business. I certainly wish I’d taken courses
like these years ago.”

Memoir of a political survivor
by Judith Collins
The most anticipated political memoir of the year.
A frank account from National MP Judith Collins of the highs and lows of
a political life. From her humble beginnings as the youngest daughter of
Labour-voting farming parents, Judith Collins has carved a path to almost
the very top of New Zealand politics. Collins grew up in rural Walton,
Waikato, on a dairy farm. At the age of 10 she entered politics, running
for class president. She won.
After a successful career as a lawyer, Collins became the MP for Papakura
in 2002, alongside fellow new recruit John Key. When Key and National
won office in 2008, Collins became the Minister for Police, Corrections
and Veterans. Funny, forthright and fearless, Collins reveals what it is like
to survive-and thrive-for two decades as a senior female politician
Merchant, Miner, Mandarin
the life and times of the remarkable Choie sew hoy
one of dunedin’s most prominent entrepreneurs.
by Jenny sew hoy agnew and trevor Gordon agnew
In 1869, a businessman from China’s Guangdong Province first set foot
on New Zealand soil at Port Chalmers. It was the beginning of an illustrious
career that would change the shape of commerce and industry in Otago
and Southland. ‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ depicts the fascinating life of
Choie Sew Hoy – from his early days in China before emigrating to
Australia and then NZ, to his death in 1901 as one of Dunedin’s most
prominent entrepreneurs. Richly illustrated and deeply researched,
‘Merchant, Miner, Mandarin’ is both the compelling biography of one of the
most distinguished figures of New Zealand business and an
intriguing account of late 19th-century society, industry and race relations.
Weed
a new Zealand story
by James Borrowdale
A fascinating journey through the life and times of cannabis in New
Zealand. Pot, Mary Jane, dope, skunk, grass, hash, green, hooch, herb,
ganja, reefer. New Zealand loves weed. It’s the most popular illegal drug
in our country and third most popular drug overall, behind alcohol and
tobacco, yet it also represents a troubled relationship. In Weed, awardwinning
journalist James Borrowdale dives in deep to understand that
relationship, meeting a fascinating cross-section of New Zealand along
the way – a nineteenth-century nun who allegedly grew pot, a bystander
to the Mr Asia syndicate, a convicted heroin dealer turned criminologist,
people both using and offering the drug for medicinal relief, politicians
and law-makers old and new. Fusing insightful, personal stories with
analysis and historical research, Weed lays out the facts as they are –
about an issue that can no longer be ignored.

Not That I’d Kiss a Girl
by lil o’Brien
Lil O’Brien accidentally outed herself to her parents at the age of nineteen
when they overheard her talking to a friend about liking girls. Half an hour
later she found herself on the side of the road, with instructions to come
back and pick up her suitcase the next day. What follows is a heartbreaking
yet hugely funny story of a young Kiwi girl - the deputy head girl from a
posh private school - coming to grips with her sexuality in the face of stark
disapproval from her parents. Bit by bit, Lil finds the inner strength to pull
herself into an entirely new world. Along the way she’s called out for looking
too straight in a gay bar, tries to break in to the lesbian in-crowd and figures
out how to send her internet lover back to America…and explores how the
hell to have sex with a girl and dates four women at once - unsuccessfully.
Lil’s story is an insightful and honest look at how you figure out whether
you’re gay, bi or whatever - and deal with what comes next.
