Trisha’s hairy<br />
mission for<br />
cancer patients<br />
A fantastic look for New Brighton<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
GAVIN AND Kylie Fantastic<br />
spent 18 months working on<br />
a way to enliven the streets of<br />
New Brighton.<br />
But when they were forced<br />
to cancel the New Brighton<br />
Outdoor Art Festival just days<br />
before its opening due to the<br />
lockdown, “depressing” was<br />
one way to put it.<br />
The three-day festival was<br />
meant to attract more than<br />
4000 people to the beach-side<br />
community, but its organisers<br />
were not giving up without a<br />
fight.<br />
Said Mr Fantastic, chairman<br />
of the New Brighton Charitable<br />
Trust: “It was depressing,<br />
but it wasn’t anger. Livelihoods<br />
come first and we understand<br />
that this is bigger than us.<br />
“We see this as a challenge,<br />
this is the way the world is<br />
now, so we’ve turned it into a<br />
new opportunity to make it<br />
better next year.”<br />
The event was to showcase<br />
local artists, featuring live<br />
painting and music, the<br />
unveiling of new murals, demonstrations,<br />
workshops and<br />
exhibitions.<br />
Although there were no<br />
crowds, popular street artists<br />
such as the DTR and Fiksate<br />
crews were able to finish nine<br />
murals after the lockdown,<br />
located on vacant walls in<br />
the area. • Turn to page 5<br />
OPTIMISTIC: New Brighton Outdoor Art Festival organisers Gavin and Kylie Fantastic were<br />
excited to showcase nine new murals in the area in spite of the event’s cancellation. <br />

Roading<br />
identified<br />
as a<br />
priority<br />
• By Louis Day<br />
IMPROVING ROADS leading<br />
into New Brighton has been<br />
identified as one of the Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community Board’s<br />
priorities for the remainder of the<br />
term.<br />
In the board’s plan for <strong>2020</strong>-2022<br />
it states it regularly receives comments<br />
from residents about the state<br />
of gateway bridges and connecting<br />
roads leading into New Brighton.<br />
“There is a real sense of concern<br />
in the community that the current<br />
journey into the area is unappealing<br />
and off-putting to those<br />
making the trip and the board<br />
would like to see this rectified, to<br />
make the drive into the area reflect<br />
the incredible assets on offer,” the<br />
plan reads.<br />
The board has stated it will aim<br />
to improve roading by advocating<br />
for funding to be brought forward<br />
for the repair of the Pages Rd<br />
bridge and the entrance of New<br />
Brighton area during the Long<br />
Term Plan process next year.<br />
It has also signalled its intention<br />
to encourage the council to<br />
consider initiating a project which<br />
would see New Brighton Rd<br />
move onto nearby red zone land,<br />
to reduce the risk of it flooding.<br />

Clock tower restoration finished<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
AFTER YEARS of delays,<br />
efforts to restore the iconic New<br />
Brighton Clock Tower have<br />
succeeded in turning back time<br />
on the much loved landmark.<br />
The heritage clock tower,<br />
in front of the New Brighton<br />
Library building, suffered damage<br />
caused by the February 2011<br />
earthquake and decades of exposure<br />
to the seaside environment.<br />
Work to repair the structure<br />
began in <strong>July</strong> last year but was<br />
delayed by additional work being<br />
needed and the recent lockdown.<br />
The restoration project cost<br />
$900,000.<br />
New Brighton Business and<br />
Landowners Association chairwoman<br />
Rebecca Tavete was<br />
thrilled with the results, especially<br />
after initial frustrations<br />
due to the delays and costs.<br />
“It looks beautiful, we’ve been<br />
presented with a stunning clock<br />
tower and it’s so iconic to the<br />
area,” she said.<br />
She believed its completion<br />
had boosted community spirits.<br />
“All good things take time.<br />
There were fundamental issues<br />
going on that perhaps a lot of<br />
us don’t understand, but we can<br />
only be joyous now for some<br />
results.<br />
“It’s like waiting for Christmas<br />
Hon Poto WILLIAMS<br />
MP for Christchurch East<br />
SUCCESS: The New Brighton<br />
Clock Tower can once again<br />
tell the time, much to the<br />
delight of the community<br />
after years of delays.<br />
PHOTO: NEWSLINE <br />
when you’re a kid, it feels like<br />
it’s never coming, but once we<br />
get there, it’s over and done with<br />
pretty quickly.”<br />
The restoration, carried out by<br />
local contractor Cook Brothers<br />
Construction Ltd for the city<br />
council, involved a significant<br />
upgrade of the building’s structural<br />
integrity and retention of<br />
its original appearance<br />
This included the replacement<br />
of two cracked, internal concrete<br />
floors, the inclusion of additional<br />
steel reinforcing as well as a corrosion<br />
prevention treatment for<br />
the concrete surfaces.<br />
New Brighton resident Robbie<br />
Baigent worked in construction<br />
and understood the delays, which<br />
he believed was worth the wait.<br />
“It would’ve been nice to<br />
have seen it done faster but I’m<br />
pleased it’s done, it looks really<br />
good,” he said.<br />
The clock tower was fenced<br />
and wrapped in protective<br />
plastic in 2018 during structural<br />
investigations.<br />
The assessments revealed significant<br />
damage to the concrete<br />
and structural steel caused by<br />
the earthquakes and environmental<br />
damage.<br />
Scaffolding, which was costing<br />
ratepayers $1500 a month, was<br />
removed from the clock tower<br />
just before the country went into<br />
lockdown.<br />
Said city council head of parks<br />
Andrew Rutledge: “The tower<br />
is looking its best with fresh<br />
paintwork in the original 1930s<br />
colour scheme. I think locals<br />
and visitors will see the iconic<br />
structure with fresh eyes after<br />
this very careful and thorough<br />
restoration.<br />
“We do want to let people<br />
know that the mechanism for<br />
the clock is complex so there<br />
might be some initial, minor<br />
issues with its timekeeping<br />
accuracy. This will be monitored<br />
and some fine-tuning might be<br />
necessary.”<br />
Priorities laid<br />
out for east<br />
• From page 1<br />
Liaising with the New Zealand<br />
Transport Agency for the repair of<br />
roads which are its responsibility<br />
will also be a strategy the board<br />
employs in attempting to improve<br />
roading infrastructure leading<br />
into New Brighton.<br />
The board has also prioritised<br />
the installation of new toilets and<br />
changing facilities closer to the<br />
hydrotherapy pool in Taiora QEII.<br />
This comes after concerns from<br />
users with accessibility issues who<br />
struggle with the 55-metre distance<br />
between the hydrotherapy pool and<br />
toilets and change facilities.<br />
The board is looking to secure<br />
a budget for the installation of<br />
additional toilets and fully accessible<br />
change facilities from the<br />
council’s Long Term Plan.<br />
Another priority listed by the<br />
board is to undertake planning<br />
for a new community-led facility<br />
within the Burwood Ward.<br />
The board is hoping to achieve<br />
this by developing a business case<br />
for the facility and secure funding<br />
for it within the council’s Long<br />
Term Plan.<br />
Supporting the transformation<br />
and activation of the red zone<br />
and a community action plan for<br />
Brooklands which will require a<br />
budget of $200,000 in the board’s<br />
eyes have also been cited as<br />
priorities.<br />

Teen’s hairy mission<br />
for cancer patients<br />
Murals let Chch artists<br />
express themselves<br />
• From page 1<br />
In early March, the community<br />
also got involved, where more<br />
than 40 people of all ages showed<br />
up to help paint the words, “Orua<br />
Paeroa,” drawing on the Māori<br />
name for the area.<br />
“We found there were large,<br />
prominent areas in New Brighton<br />
which were vacant and derelict<br />
and had a negative visual appearance<br />
for our small community,”<br />
said Mr Fantastic.<br />
“Everyone is waiting for someone<br />
else to do something about<br />
it, so my wife said, ‘why don’t you<br />
do something?”<br />
The murals have given<br />
Christchurch artists a chance to<br />
express their artwork in a legal<br />
and safe environment.<br />
With the community also able<br />
to contribute, it gave them a sense<br />
of ownership and pride in the<br />
“Bohemian village.”<br />
“It gives them ownership, like<br />
if they were driving past they can<br />
point it out, and those people will<br />
grow up seeing it,” he said.<br />
The cancellation created a<br />
window of opportunity to change<br />
aspects of the event for next year,<br />
but with Covid-19 creating a raft<br />
of uncertainties, Mr Fantastic<br />
remained cautiously optimistic.<br />
“Next year we’re thinking of<br />
having a smaller-scale event, such<br />
as a walking tour, and we want to<br />
be able to do more [street art] in<br />
the greater Christchurch area,”<br />
he said.<br />
“We hope more building owners<br />
come on board and provide<br />
wall space for us.<br />
“But we’re still really nervous<br />
about it though; the hurt that<br />
we felt ... we don’t want to go<br />
through that again.”<br />

EVERY FOUR hours a New<br />
Zealander is diagnosed with a<br />
blood cancer - a statistic which<br />
motivated Trisha Shailaj to cut<br />
off her luscious, <strong>16</strong>-inch locks.<br />
The year 11 Avonside Girls’<br />
High School student always<br />
admired her long hair, but she<br />
realised there would be someone<br />
out there who needed it more.<br />
She dedicated at least six<br />
months towards growing her<br />
hair and eventually donated a<br />
large portion of it to the Cancer<br />
Society to be made into a wig.<br />
“Over a year back, one of the<br />
girls at school shaved her hair<br />
off completely to raise money for<br />
the Cancer Society,” she said.<br />
“I thought, I too could do<br />
something similar and help<br />
some people who are less fortunate<br />
than I am.”<br />
She originally decided to shave<br />
her hair off completely, but after<br />
doing some research, she realised<br />
she could donate it instead, where<br />
it can be repurposed for a cause.<br />
“I looked in the mirror and<br />
thought, my hair is long but I<br />
don’t really need it. Even if I cut<br />
it, it’ll grow back,” she said.<br />
EFFORT: Trisha Shailaj, donated a large portion of her hair to the<br />
Cancer Society for wig making.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
In the months leading up to the<br />
day she was filled with excitement,<br />
but the closer it got, the more anxious<br />
and uncertain she felt.<br />
“Just before the final day, I hesitated.<br />
I didn’t want to do it, I even<br />
started crying. But at the end of<br />
the day, it is just hair,” she said.<br />
This was not the first time she<br />
had donated time and energy<br />
towards helping her community.<br />
Through her father’s involvement<br />
with Friends of Rotary,<br />
she had completed fundraising<br />
efforts for Multiple Sclerosis and<br />
Parkinson’s Canterbury.<br />
Freedom Hair in Dunedin<br />
made wigs for the Cancer Society<br />
and accepted Trisha’s donation,<br />
corresponding with how there<br />
should be more people like her.<br />
Said Trisha: “I would<br />
encourage others to do this,<br />
or anything similar. It doesn’t<br />
matter what others think, if you<br />
want to make a positive change<br />
for other people in the world,<br />
just do it.<br />

IT COULD be a while until<br />
the eastern suburbs start to<br />
see Lianne Dalziel’s campaign<br />
aspirations for the area come to<br />
fruition.<br />
During October’s local body<br />
elections, Ms Dalziel identified<br />
repairs to the eastern part of the<br />
city’s footpaths, pipes and roads<br />
as one of her main priorities for<br />
this term.<br />
“We need a fully integrated<br />
programme of works for the<br />
east, I have loosely called this<br />
the eastern alliance, which<br />
would essentially be an alliance<br />
of contractors who can take<br />
the whole area bit by bit and<br />
systematically get the work<br />
done,” she said during the<br />
campaign.<br />
But chief executive Dawn<br />
Baxendale said any request to<br />
pursue a specific project in the<br />
east would have to be agreed<br />
upon by council.<br />
City councillors are yet to pass<br />
on any guidance to staff around<br />
this, she said.<br />

RESIDENTS MOST affected by<br />
the new Northern Motorway are<br />
relieved to hear the Christchurch<br />
Northern Corridor opening has<br />
been delayed by six months.<br />
The CNC was due to open in<br />
the middle of this year, but last<br />
week the New<br />
Zealand Transport<br />
Agency<br />
announced more<br />
time was needed<br />
to complete the<br />
$290m motorway.<br />
The original<br />
scope of the<br />
project has been Mark Wilson<br />
extended to include<br />
a third southbound lane on<br />
the Waimakariri River bridge and<br />
a clip-on cycleway.<br />
St Albans resident Mark Wilson<br />
said the community are “somewhat<br />
thankful” for the delay.<br />
“The community will be somewhat<br />
thankful for a reprieve of the<br />
effects of this motorway for six<br />
months, but it’s still there. Until<br />
decisions are made to put our<br />
community first, then there is no<br />
relief,” he said.<br />

CALLS HAVE been made to<br />
stop rates increases in response<br />
to the Covid-19 crisis.<br />
City councillors James Gough,<br />
Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />
Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown<br />
and James Daniels have sent a<br />
letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
asking her to lead a conversation<br />
as to how a zero per cent rates<br />
increase could be achieved this<br />
year.<br />
The city council is proposing<br />
an average rates increase of 4.65<br />
per cent across all ratepayers in<br />
this year’s Draft Annual Plan<br />
which is currently under public<br />
consultation until April 5 and<br />
will be finalised before <strong>July</strong> 1.<br />
The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over 10 years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />
the current environment it’s<br />
clear business as usual is not<br />
appropriate and the council<br />
needs to look at how we enable<br />
this 12-month rates increase<br />
freeze to occur, it’s crucial for<br />
the economic confidence of our<br />
city.”<br />
Ms Dalziel said the las thing<br />
the city council needed was for<br />
someone to hit the panic button.<br />
“Calm heads must and will<br />
prevail,” she said.<br />
“Our residents and businesses<br />
will be depending on us to<br />
make adjustments, and we will,<br />
however, we will need advice<br />
on the impacts on all aspects of<br />
Vaping rules<br />
in CDHB<br />
spotlight<br />
the council’s budget, which is<br />
not entirely funded by rates, and<br />
the consequences that will flow<br />
from decisions we make.<br />
“The Annual Plan is not<br />
signed off for three months so<br />
we have time to ge this advice.<br />
At the same time, the council<br />
is meeting with our economic<br />
development agency, ChristchurchNZ,<br />
the Canterbury Employers’<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />
and other key players so we are<br />
best prepared for the economic<br />
challenges that lie ahead.”<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Dawn Baxendale did not rule a<br />
zero rates rise out.<br />
“We’re considering a series of<br />
options in light of the extraor-<br />
– page 4<br />
dinary circumstances related to<br />
Covid-19. We will discuss these<br />
options with elected members<br />
as we develop the Annual Plan,”<br />
she said.<br />
The push from city councillors<br />
for a freeze on rates rises comes<br />
shortly after Minister of Finance<br />
Grant Robertson announced<br />
a $12.1 billion package to aid<br />
the economy in response to the<br />
Covid-19 pandemic.<br />
The biggest boost is $5.1<br />
billion towards wage subsidies<br />
for affected businesses in all<br />
sectors and regions.<br />

Specialists advise a vehicle<br />
check as winter sets in<br />
Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving<br />
conditions for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy<br />
frosts to fog and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make<br />
sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these<br />
hazards.<br />
The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street<br />
recommends checking that your lights and windscreen wipers<br />
are in working order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on<br />
cold mornings they offer free battery and alternator and starter<br />
tests, and free battery fitting.<br />
Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic<br />
equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics,<br />
air bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and<br />
experienced auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and<br />
efficiently.<br />
Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all<br />
makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial<br />
