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 />

• By Bea Gooding<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 />

relieved to hear the Christchurch<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 />

announced more<br />

time was needed<br />

to complete the<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 />
