Fears over 

future of 

Airbnb 

• By Bea Gooding 

CHRISTCHURCH Airbnb 

owners are concerned about 

the future of home-share 

accommodation as the city 

council mulls changes to its rules 

for short-term accommodation. 

Proposed changes to the City 

Plan would allow whole unit listings 

in some areas but not others, and 

would not allow listings in multiunit 

dwellings or on rear sections. 

Another option on the table 

enables listings up to a specified 

number of days, such as 60, 90 or 

120 days per year. 

City council head of planning 

and strategic transport David 

Griffiths confirmed a council 

committee would ultimately decide 

what to do with the proposals 

next month. 

But Christchurch Holiday Homes 

director Sue Harrison, who manages 

homes in Sumner and Akaroa, 

said there were fears a change 

would “put big hotel profits ahead 

of what’s best for the city.” 

“For many of us, these rules 

would mean putting away our 

welcome mats for good. 

“We can’t pretend it hasn’t 

been hurtful at times when our 

intentions have been wilfully 

misrepresented. We’re members 

of this community and we care 

very deeply about Christchurch,” 

Harrison said. • Turn to page 3

Airbnb owners concerned over rule changes 

• From page 1 

In residential zones, singleroom 

listings with the owner present 

were permitted as “bed and 

breakfasts” under the District 

Plan rules, allowing up to six 

guests to stay a maximum of 90 

days. 

In residential zones outside of 

the central city, unhosted accommodation 

or whole unit listings 

required a resource consent as a 

discretionary activity. 

Policies to restrict non-residential 

activities in residential zones 

made consent more difficult to 

obtain. 

Said Harrison: “We don’t 

support discriminating between 

hosted and unhosted short-term 

rentals. Whether a host is present 

or not doesn’t form a sound basis 

for regulation as there’s many 

variables involved to police this.” 

Airbnb owners did not support 

the proposals due to the growing 

need for self-catering homes for 

groups and families that many 

motels, hotels and hostels did not 

cater for. 

They have outlined their 

concerns to community boards 

across the city. 

They favoured the option 

which removed restrictions on 

whole unit listings and treated 

home-share accommodation as a 

residential activity. 

“This option allows for better

All other options leave you with 

an impossible compliance issue. 

“If you restrict self-contained

said.

did not “geographically distort 

the market,” and a mandatory

Rapaki Retreat owner Debbie 

Rehu is concerned her Airbnb

“The residential rates in Rapaki

AirDNA data shows Christchurch 

hosts earned about $50 

million between August 2018 and 

August 2019. 

It is estimated about 250,000 

guests were hosted last year. 

Griffiths said some regulations 

could be approached from a 

nationwide perspective. 

“A nationwide code of practice 

would be possible for short-term 

accommodation, but would 

require agreement of all listing 

platform providers, council and 

other regulatory agencies,” he 

said. 

“However, a nationwide code 

of practice could not be the only 

regulatory mechanism in spite 

of this being a preferred option. 

City council has responsibilities 

under the Building Act, Resource 

Management Act and other 

legislation that the code may not 

address.’’ 

The Government could also 

issue objectives and policies to 

ensure a consistent approach to 

managing the issue, such as the 

use of land and its effects that all 

councils must enforce. 

The city council will present a 

report to the Urban Development 

and Transport Committee 

outlining recommendations on 

a preferred option including 

whether or not to notify changes 

to the District Plan next month.

Seafarers’ welfare ‘grossly underfunded’ 

• By Stu Oldham 

THE MISSION for Seafarers in 

Lyttelton could fold unless the 

Government paves the way for 

consistent funding as the sector 

struggles through the global 

pandemic. 

This emerged as the Banks 

Peninsula Community Board 

prepares to discuss a grant to the 

mission at its next meeting. 

The Ministry of Transport has 

given the national mission a sixmonth, 

$295,000 lifeline to help 

seafarers stuck in 28-day on-ship 

quarantine. 

However, there are fears as to 

what will happen if the funding 

is not continued and the sector 

cannot hire the professional staff 

it needs. 

Many groups rely on funding 

from overseas charities and local 

churches. All are struggling 

to raise their own funds as the 

recession bites. 

Volunteers are also likely to 

be thin on the ground – many 

are in their 70s and many are 

unlikely to return to work postpandemic. 

Mission for Seafarers Lyttelton 

chaplain John McLister said 

his international funder would 

honour the remaining two years 

of his three-year contract. 

After that, “it’ll be over.” 

Without new funding, there 

STANDING FIRM: Mission for Seafarers Lyttelton chaplain 

John McLister says the mission might fold unless shipping 

levies provide for the seafarer welfare sector. 


was a strong chance the seafarer 

welfare sector would struggle to 

survive as it is into the new year, 

he confirmed. 

If this happened, New Zealand 

would fail to meet its obligations 

under the international Maritime 

Labour Convention, he said. 

The convention says technically 

competent people should 

be employed full-time to operate 

seafarers’ welfare facilities and 

services. 

Such services could cost in 

the region of $1 million nationally, 

or about $150,000 per port, 

based on pre-Covid-19 estimates 

put to the Government before 

the response, McLister said. 

A professional service at Lyttelton 

would need two full time 

staff, he said. 

McLister is chairman of the 

Seafarer Welfare Board, which 

wants the cost paid by a levy on 

shipping, as allowed for under 

the convention. 

It suggests $50 for trading 

vessels and $100 for cruise ships 

levied at their first port of call. The 

convention allows voluntary levies 

but previous attempts to raise 

them failed, McLister said. 

The sector relied on charitable 

giving, port company assistance 

and grants from community 

boards and councils – which 

often owned the ports where the 

services are based. 

“But no, when it comes down 

to it, I don’t think we should 

have to go cap in hand to little 

old ladies and be out there cooking 

barbecues to raise money 

when there are companies making 

millions of dollars from the 

people we are here to help.” 

Banks Peninsula Community 

Board member Tyrone Fields said 

the board and the wider community 

supported the mission’s work 

– “it is part of who we are in a port 

town” – but that he was actively 

advocating for the shipping sector 

to pay its way. 

A levy would be fair and would 

A HUMAN Rights at Sea 

report released in March 

says found New Zealand has 

a “broken system of gross 

underfunding” for seafarer 

welfare. 

The United Kingdom-based 

charity says the Government 

has failed to safeguard seafarer 

welfare under the Maritime 

Labour Convention, in spite of 

raising considerable funds from 

maritime levies. 

It says the “responsibility of 

the state has ostensibly been 

outsourced to the maritime 

charitable sector.” 

It recommends the Government 

immediately review how 

seafarer welfare is funded, and 

introduce a levy system or ringfence 

part of the maritime levy 

already in place.

into effect in 2017.

‘Aunties’ helping vulnerable families 

A myriad of groups help 

keep our community 

moving. Reporter Bea 

Gooding speaks to The 

Christchurch Aunties 

chairwoman Heather 

Milne about the 

organisation’s work 

What is The Christchurch 

Aunties? 

We’re a network of 4000 

people who provide practical 

support and donations for 

women and children in 

Christchurch, Selwyn District, 

and Waimakariri District, who 

have experienced family violence 

and vulnerability. We work with 

staff at about 11 organisations 

(such as women’s refuges), who 

tell us what they need for their 

clients, then we get it to them by 

mobilising our network. 

We regularly provide toiletries, 

security items and emergency 

trips funding. When women 

are setting up new homes after 

relocating, we provide new or 

quality second-hand furniture 

and bedding. Sourcing and 

donating baby gear is another 

area that we excel at. 

In addition to those regular 

requests, we sometimes receive 

client-specific donation requests 

such as gadgets and weighted 

blankets for children with 

behavioural or communication 

issues, quality sports gear, 

birthday cakes, and vouchers for 

local attractions. 

What does it mean to be an 

“auntie?” 

Anyone, anywhere can be an 

“auntie.’’ We have Christchurch 

Aunties who regularly donate 

toiletries and new bedding. 

Others have set up regular 

payments into our account. We 

have a team of volunteers who 

get hands-on and help us move 

things, do administrative tasks, 

mend furniture, test electrical 

gear, and tidy our storage. 

There are also hundreds of 

Christchurch aunties who share 

information about us and get 

us in touch with other donors. 

All of this support is part of the 

giant jigsaw that makes it so 

successful. 

Why is an organisation like 

The Christchurch Aunties 

important for the community? 

The immediate importance 

of The Christchurch Aunties 

is that we relieve the mental 

load for women and children 

experiencing family violence and 

vulnerability, and we also relieve 

the mental load of the staff 

who are caring for them. Our 

donations go towards keeping

SLOAN 

people warm, safe, and feeling 

valued. 

What are the major issues 

currently impacting those who 

you serve, and why? 

The issue that we’ve seen 

recently impacting families is 

Covid-19 and the lockdown. This 

situation became like a pressure 

cooker of social isolation and 

financial stress for many. 

Children were home from 

school and saw the violence 

happening. Solo parents 

struggled to get supplies as they 

couldn’t leave their children at 

home, but also couldn’t take 

them to the supermarket. 

In the days before level 4, 

we frantically gave out all our 

supplies of toiletries, activities, 

and fuel/supermarket vouchers 

to organisations – not knowing 

when we’d be able to supply 

them again. 

Luckily we were granted 

essential status, but the 

increased demand for basic 

donations of toiletries, security 

gear, and vouchers have 

continued. 

Canterbury has functioned 

with a post-traumatic stress 

disorder faultline running under 

us since 2010. So although the 

lockdown was the catalyst for 

recent spikes in family violence, 

there has been an increase for 

some time. 

Moving forward, how can 

organisations and society better 

support those experiencing 

these hardships and the 

reduction of harm within 

homes? And why? 

As a society, we can’t make 

any real impact until we stop 

and listen. I urge people to get 

educated on family violence 

and poverty in New Zealand. 

Be open-minded and learn 

about your unconscious bias. 

Listen to those who speak from 

experience – they know more 

than you do on this subject. 

It’s okay to change the way you 

think about things.

Work to start soon on reserve 

• By Matt Slaughter 

THE $1.19 million project 

to transform the former 

Redcliffs School site into a new 

recreational reserve is due to 

start this month. 

It is expected this will be completed 

between the end of this 

year and early next year. 

The reserve will be called Te 

Papa Kura Redcliffs Park. 

Funding for 

it has come 

from the sale 

of the former 

Redcliffs Park to 

the Ministry of 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

Education. 

It will include 

two junior 

sports fields, the existing 

playground facilities, paths and 

space for future public gatherings. 

Said city council head of 

parks Andrew Rutledge: “The 

playground at Te Papa Kura 

Redcliffs Park has been open for 

some time. 

“Construction of the fields 

and perimeter pathways is 

about to begin. Start work 

notices were released to the 

public recently and the work is 

expected to be completed by the 

end of the year or early next year 

with the fields ready for use next 

winter after a grow-in period,” 

he said. 

DEVELOPMENT: The project to transform the old Redcliffs School site into a 

recreational reserve will start this month and is set to be completed by December. 


There will be heavy machinery 

operating during the day to 

level and shape the surface for 

the new sports fields. 

Future phases of the project 

will include the installation of a 

toilet block, additional furniture 

and other amenities. 

The old Redcliffs School site 

on Main Rd was ruled unsafe 

for pupils to return to after the 

2011 earthquake. 

In June, the school shifted 

to its brand new campus on 

Beachville Rd after sharing a site 

with van Asch Deaf Education 

Centre for nine years after the 

earthquake. 

Domestic 

visitors 

may buoy 

museum 

THERE ARE early indications 

domestic tourism will make up 

for some of the international 

visitors no longer expected at 

Akaroa Museum. 

Museum director Lynda 

Wallace told the museum 

advisory committee 29,300 people 

visited the museum in the year to 

June 30. More than 40,000 visited 

the year before. 

The eight-week Covid-19 lockdown 

had an impact but the 

pandemic’s effect on international 

tourism will be more enduring. 

The figures were buoyed by 

cruise ship passengers, which 

made up 27 per cent of the total. 

This was a “high percentage not 

likely to be seen again in the near 

future.” 

Last year, fewer than 12,000 

people, or 40 per cent of all visitors, 

were domestic tourists. 

Wallace told the committee 

there were indications there will 

be more domestic visitors “that 

may go quite some way towards 

filling the gap.” 

Visitor statistics for July were 

positive. The school holidays were 

50 per cent busier than last year, 

she told the committee.

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Macy’s BIG day at Massey Vet School 

- PART ONE 

I’m sure many of you have either met or read about 

the newest member of the McMaster- Heap family 

- Miss Macy, our scrumptious, beautiful glossy black 

18 week old Labrador puppy. Just like half of CHCH, 

we decided to get a puppy in lockdown (or rather 

gentled pressured from our 3 sons who had all 

converged on us begging for one). Lola is nearly 11 

years old, so I felt it a 

good age for her to 

enjoy a playmate and 

teach her prodigy “the 

ways of the vet clinic”. 

Macy has a very 

sound pedigree, 

with her dad a UK 

champion and her 

mum, coincidentally 

called Lola, bred in 

Christchurch. The 

breeder made sure 

the dam and sire 

were hip and elbow 

scored and their 

results were excellent 

(as were generations 

further back). As a 

conscientious breeder, 

apart from selection 

on temperament, you can’t do much more. When we 

visited the litter they all seemed perfect! 

Unfortunately for Macy (and me), she has ended 

up with Elbow Dysplasia, affecting both forelegs 

(Funny that I can’t remember when I last diagnosed a 

puppy with this disease). Apparently it is reasonably 

common in large breed puppies especially Labrador 

retrievers, German Shepherds and Bernese Mountain 

dogs. Most are not diagnosed as young as Macy - the 

“upside” to having parents who are Veterinarians, 

along with free toys, tasty foods and delicious treats 

always on tap!! 

At about 12 weeks of age I noticed a subtle shifting 

foreleg lameness, worse on getting up from rest 

and after boisterous short plays with Lola. She 

was normal with leash walks but pulled away 

when I went to palpate her elbows. The lameness 

progressively became more pronounced so I asked 

Richard Lucy to radiograph all her limbs. I prayed 

she just had panosteitis - pain along the long bones 

associated with rapid 

growth, seen in fast 

growing puppies. 

The day of the surgery 

at Massey University 

Veterinary School 

Macy and her big sister 

Lola holidaying in 

Northland 

Macy’s X-rays ruled out 

panosteitis but there 

was some question mark 

over joint pathology. 

Radiography can’t detect 

subtle changes in the 

cartilage matrix or fissures 

in the coronoid process 

of the ulna. Macy then 

underwent a CT scan 

through Pacific Radiology 

at Lincoln University 

to get a clearer insight 

into her joint health and 

determine her cause of 

lameness. The CT scan 

was read by a Registered 

Veterinary radiologist who 

diagnosed bilateral elbow 

dysplasia. 

The elbow is a very complex joint, comprised of 

3 bones that have to synergistically sit and move 

together perfectly. There are 3 parts that make up 

elbow dysplasia and Macy has 2 of them - OCD 

of the medial humeral condyle and FCP (medial 

fragmented coronoid process of the ulna). Not 

great news for a 16 week old puppy. I did some fast 

research on Elbow Dysplasia, watching webinars and 

sourcing differing opinions from surgeons worldwide 

on the best way to tackle this disease to help slow 

the progression and stop the pain for Macy. I talked 

to our surgeon, Helen Milner, and Andrew Worth (a 

classmate of mine 30 years ago at Vet School), an 

orthopaedic surgeon at Massey University.

Cnr Hoon Hay & Coppell place 

phone 338 2534, Fax 339 8624 

e. mcmasterandheap@yahoo.co.nz 

www.mcmasterheap.co.nz 

The best outcome for Macy was for her to undergo 

arthroscopy (keyhole surgery) on both elbows at 

Massey University Veterinary Hospital, to remove 

the coronoid process if it was seen to be fractured 

or fissured and check her cartilage and remove 

any OCD lesion (folding and tearing of the articular 

cartilage due to collapse of the subchondral bone). 

Andrew said he would squeeze Macy in on Monday 

13th July (my birthday!!! So had to be great luck) so 

Steve and I, with Macy and Lola in tow, made a road 

trip to Palmerston North ASAP. The things you do for 

your pets. Helen could also have operated on Macy’s 

elbows via arthrotomy ( which is incising her elbow 

joints to remove cartilage and bone fragments). We 

decided for a puppy so young, keyhole surgery was 

going to be minimally invasive therefore her recovery 

time faster and with magnification into the elbow 

joint, you can appreciate better the health of the 

cartilage and degree of damage. 

Macy undergoing CT 

Macy was a “superstar” on surgery day. She was 

operated on at 3pm and home with us at 6.30pm. 

She has really never looked back and was walking 

better almost immediately. Andrew thought 

her pain was mainly due to the bilateral OCD 

lesions (loose flaps of cartilage that he incised and 

smoothed out, preparing the way for fibrocartilage 

to be laid down). 

Recovering 

in the Bay of 

Islands 

The hardest part now is keeping her out of mischief. 

She just wants to run like a rabbit and for 1 month 

post operatively she is limited to 5-10 minutes on a 

leash daily and then crated or house rested. She’s 

nearly done her month confinement and will be able 

to enjoy longer walks, although no off-leash running 

for a while. My job now is to keep her lean, feed her 

joint supplements including Omega oils and 4 cyte, 

restrict running, jumping down and vigorous play 

and somewhere in there start training her to be as 

well behaved as Lola. 

So far so good. I’ll keep you posted on her recovery.

IMPROVEMENTS: A concept drawing of how the new Woolston Village 

will look when work is finished. 

Big construction 

projects going ahead 

KIA ORA, I’d like to use 

this opportunity to give 

you a heads-up about 

some really big projects 

happening in our area. 

THere’s a lot going on in 

Woolston and Linwood 

which will impact upon 

residents and those who 

are passing through from 

the bays and Lyttelton. 

The first is a real good 

news story. 

Te Pou Toetoe – the 

Linwood Pool is now 

under construction, and 

the holes are being dug for 

the actual pools. If you’ve 

been rocked by the ground 

shaking over the past 

three or four weeks, then 

it may have been the huge 

compactors working on 

the site. 

The digging is nearly 

complete, so thanks for 

your patience. 

Inside there will be 

a 25m pool, a learners’ 

pool, a family spa, a wet 

platform with all sorts of 

water toys and a ‘manu’ – a 

deep bombing pool – as 

well as meeting spaces and 

a kitchen for family and 

community use. 

The city council wants 

to hear from you if you 

are keen to run classes 

or programmes in this 

new facility. Have your 

say https://ccc.govt.nz/thecouncil/consultations-andsubmissions/haveyoursay/ 

show/317 

Secondly, there are nine 

months of road works 

ahead for Woolston 

Village, so there are fences 

and traffic cones aplenty. 

From the board 

Alexandra Davids, chair 

Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board 

COMPLEX: KiwiRail is building a new bridge over 

the Heathcote River, trains can still travel along 

the line during construction. 

This work is necessary 

to replace the sewer line 

running along Ferry Rd. 

Improvements to 

the Woolston Village 

streetscape are happening 

at the same time, so 

it will be worth the 

inconvenience. Please be 

patient with the traffic and 

you can still get through 

the village. The shops are 

still open and access to 

alternative parking is well 

sign-posted. 

Phone the city council 

on 941 8999, 0800 800 169 

or email woolstonvillage@ 

ccc.govt.nz for more 

information. 

Finally, you will see a lot 

of action near Brougham St 

where KiwiRail is replacing 

a rail bridge. The current 

one was built in 1923, so it 

is past its use by date. 

The community board 

advocated for access 

to remain open for 

pedestrians and cyclists, 

but Clarendon and 

Richardson Tces will both 

be closed for part of the 

process. 

Building a whole new 

bridge while still using it 

is quite a task. KiwiRail 

will build sections of the 

bridge on site, alongside 

Brougham St, and use 

a huge tracked crane to 

lift the sections onto the 

bridge when they are 

completed. It’s a massive 

job. 

Phone KiwiRail 

stakeholder inquiries 0800 

801 070 ext 4302. 

Thank you everyone for 

your continued interest. 

We are here to advocate, 

support and help inform 

you of matters relating to 

you and your community.

News 

Still no decision on future of ‘needless eyesore’ 

• By Stu Oldham 

OFFICIALS ARE looking at 

ways to improve a now rockstrewn 

beach some neighbouring 

residents say is blighted by a 

needless eyesore. 

The city council this week confirmed 

it was investigating options 

for improving the amenity 

value of Clifton Beach but that 

no decision has been made. 

City staff are preparing a 

proposal for Environment 

Canterbury after officials from 

both councils met to discuss the 

future of the beach last week. 

The proposal will include an 

assessment of environmental 

impacts, costs and time frames, 

in response to that meeting, a 

spokesperson confirmed. 

The move is the latest since the 

Redcliffs Residents’ Association 

in August urged the council 

to clean up what it said was 

left after work on the rock 

revetment protecting Main Rd 

and supporting the section of the 

Coastal Pathway. 

The association says rock previously 

buried up to 4m underground 

was insufficiently buried 

when the excavated material was 

returned to the beach. 

Tide and weather have since 

exposed rocks along a stretch of 

beach that has been sandy for 

as long as many residents can 

EXPOSED: Redcliffs Residents’ Association Secretary Pat McIntosh says the wait to 

remediate Clifton Beach was ‘frustrating.’ 


remember, it says. 

Association secretary Dr Pat 

McIntosh said the wait for a 

plan to remediate the beach was 

“frustrating.” 

“They do not appear to have a 

plan, and I’m afraid we may have 

another summer like this.” 

The association was also frustrated 

by the council’s responses. 

Initially, council staff said 

the rocks are naturally occurring 

and would eventually be 

consumed by the sandy beach, 

she said. 

In November, the council acknowledged 

it was an unforeseen 

result of the work but could not 

be tackled during penguin nesting 

season, she said. 

The prospect of further work 

seemed to slow when the council 

said it needed archeological and 

cultural assessments before it 

could start, she said. 

The association understood 

remediation, whether that meant 

scraping or sifting out the rocks 

to a reasonable depth, might 

prove costly, she said. 

“But it was their mistake and 

is their responsibility to put 

right.” 

It was the association’s position 

the council had some work to do 

before it met the conditions of 

its consents, and the beach was 

restored, she said. 

Bay Harbour News sought an 

interview with the council. In a 

written response, a spokesperson 

said it had no non-compliance 

reports from any of the agencies 

that issued its resource consents 

for the project. 

Asked what advice it had as to 

the potential impact of rocks on 

the beach, the spokesperson said 

the “naturally occurring rocks” 

were an unforeseen consequence 

of construction. 

The spokesperson later confirmed 

that meant the council 

had no advice at the time of the 

works, or after. 

Asked about the estimated 

cost of removing the previously 

subsurface rocks, by option 

considered since the issue was 

identified, the spokesperson said 

“no decision has been made yet 

as to what the preferred option 

may be.” 

That was also the response 

when asked whether the 

remediation time frame has been 

affected by the need for cultural 

and archeological assessments.

A need to focus on a clean, green economy 

Dave Bryce of 

the Redcliffs/ 

Te Rae Kura 

Eco Village 

group says it 

is focusing on 

the economy 

during August. 

AN INCREASING number 

of people are now on reduced 

incomes. 

Businesses need reassessing 

to be relevant in the post-Covid 

situation and in a reduced CO2 

emissions world. Tourism may 

not return to anything like 

before. Overseas travel, business 

meetings and conferences will all 

reduce or be done virtually. 

Globally, we currently have 

unsustainable levels of goods 

creation and consumption and 

associated depletion of resources 

and destruction of natural 

habitats. 

This can all change by refocusing 

on a future “clean, green and 

sustainable economy.” 

Such an economy would 

ensure that manufactured goods 

would last a long time and then 

be able to be returned for repair 

or repurposing or recycling. 

This will start to happen now 

with “product stewardship”, a 

new form of legal regulation intended 

to reduce waste and hazards 

and apply user-pays. It puts 

the responsibility for a product’s 

life-cycle and waste management 

on manufacturers, importers, 

retailers and users, rather than 

on communities, councils, neighbourhoods 

and nature. 

Government has declared 

six priority products for stewardship 

– plastic packaging, 

tyres, electrical and electronic 

products, agrichemicals and 

their containers, refrigerants and 

farm plastics. 

Stewardship also has the 

potential to create lots of new 

SHOP LOCAL: By visiting your local farmers’ market will 

help reduce transport costs and lower emissions. 

jobs, although will probably 

increase the cost of these 

products. 

You could play your own part 

by avoiding buying things you 

don’t really need – trying to buy 

only things which are durable, 

repairable, non-plastic, toxin 

free, recycled or recyclable and 

without excessive packaging, and 

checking if things can be fixed or 

recycled, before “binning” them 

and replacing them. 

Buying products locally made 

and shopping locally, will also 

help to reduce the transport 

costs and emissions embodied 

in the economy. This includes 

using local trades, products and 

services, and visiting your local 

farmers’ market. 

If you are looking for local 

goods and services, check out 

the “Local Directory” on our 

website www.redcliffs.org.nz. If 

you have a local business including 

home-occupations, be sure 

to get listed there. 

Our Kiwi eco pledges for 

this year, on the economy are: 

Support your local shopping 

centre and farmers market at 

least fortnightly, and work from 

home if you are able, at least one 

day a fortnight. 

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust, a non-profit 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. 

Little owl feeds on insects at dawn and dusk 

WHO WOULD have thought 

that around our estuary we have 

a number of resident owls. 

The little owl, also known 

as the german owl, is a brown 

and grey bird with white spots/ 

streaks. Weighing around 170gm 

and only 23cm tall, they surely 

are the cutest owl you have ever 

seen. 

They were introduced into 

New Zealand between 1906 and 

1910 from Germany and, apart 

from one pair delivered to Rotorua, 

were released in the South 

Island where, along the east 

coast, they are doing really well. 

The reason for this importation 

scheme at the time was for 

the owls to help control small 

introduced bird species that were 

a causing damage to grain and 

fruit crops. 

But like many other introduced 

species, why would they 

stick to feeding on those alone 

when they also love beetles, 

moths, earwigs, frogs and lizards? 

Surprisingly, unlike the better 

known morepork, the little owl 

feeds at dawn and dusk. During 

the day they are quite content 

perching on lamp posts, fence 

posts or in trees. 

No wonder our estuary is 

classified as a “wetland of international 

importance” due to 

the variety and number of birds 

residing here. 

It is up to us to ensure that 

they are safe from introduced 

predators and have ample 

and healthy food supplies, so 

they can continue their stay 

here. 

Predator control around the 

estuary is undertaken by the city 

council, but we can all ensure 

that we have rat traps in our 

gardens to support this. 

Keeping our dogs on the lead 

not allowing them to scare birds 

particularly now when many 

birds are establishing nesting 

sites is super important too. 

I can highly recommend 

dog owners check out Bexley 

Reserve dog park off Pages Rd. 

There is ample parking and huge 

fenced off and fun play areas for 

dogs to run without disturbing 

the bird life.

Completely line a roasting pan 

with foil (this will make clean-up 

much easier). 

Pour 2cm of water into bottom 

of pan. Place a wire rack on top 

of roasting pan to hold the pork 

belly. 

Place the pork belly on the wire 

rack. The meat will cook above 

the water, with the pork juices 

dripping down below. 

Make sure the pork belly is level 

(if one part is lower/shorter the 

skin will not cook evenly. if you 

have to, use something oven-safe 

to prop up a shorter part to keep 

it completely level). 

Spread 1 cup of salt evenly 

across the pork belly skin. Place 

into top half of oven. Bake for 

about 40min until meat looks 

cooked. 

Remove pork belly and increase 

oven temperature to 240 deg C.

The Book Of Hidden Wonders 

by Polly Crosby 

Hidden in the pages of a book, a secret story… 

Romilly lives in a ramshackle house with her 

eccentric artist father and her cat, Monty. She 

knows little about her past – but she knows that 

she is loved. 

When her father finds fame with a series of 

children’s books starring her as the main character, 

everything changes: exotic foods appear on the table, 

her father appears on TV, and strangers appear at 

their door, convinced the books contain a treasure hunt 

leading to a glittering prize. But as time passes, Romilly’s father becomes 

increasingly suspicious of everything around him, until, before her eyes, 

he begins to disappear altogether. 

In her increasingly isolated world, Romilly turns to the secrets her father 

has hidden in his illustrated books, realising that there is something far 

darker and more devastating locked within the pages… The truth.

Feisty yet frugal Volvo station wagon 

VOLVO HAS HAD a long and 

notable motorsport heritage. 

I became familiar with some 

of that during my many visits to 

Wellington to watch the Nissan- 

Mobil 500 street race in the late 

80s and early 90s. 

While the Volvo T5 wagon 

looked a little out of place on the 

race track, it certainly had speed, 

and it clocked up much success 

globally, especially in European 

touring car championship races. 

The T5 had a square, boxy 

shape that earned it the nickname 

Swedish taxi, but the point is it 

was amazingly successful, and 

when I first drove it in road-going 

form in 2004 I was blown away 

with its power and performance. 

Since then Volvo has marketed 

many fine wagons and has 

impressed with its power plants, 

feisty engines which also double 

as being frugal. 

Enter 2020 and another Volvo 

wagon has landed – the V60 T8 

R-Design, another very quick 

station wagon, yet also amazes 

with its 2l/100km combined cycle 

fuel usage claim. 

That’s down to hybrid 

technology, today’s V60 has a 

turbocharged and supercharged 

four-cylinder petrol engine. The 

1969cc unit develops a hearty 

246kW and 430Nm, if that’s not 

enough, add into the equation 

a rear-mounted electric engine 

which adds 65kW and 240Nm, 

it’s no surprise then the V60 is 

swift when the accelerator is 

given a nudge. 

Volvo claims a 4.5sec standstill 

to 100km/h acceleration time, 

that’s quick and also translates to 

a 3.5sec overtaking time – 80- 

120km/h. 

What’s more, the V60 feels fast, 

it is fully responsive and delivers 

in a fluid, decisive manner, 

typical of both turbocharging and 

supercharging techniques. 

While its performance is every 

bit as exciting as its predecessors, 

it must be remembered that 

hybrid technology is there for 

a reason, and in this age where 

caring for the environment has 

become a major priority, the V60 

also addresses that with plug-in 

electric storage capability. The 

system isn’t as generous as you 

would get from a fully electric 

vehicle, but it definitely has 

purpose. 

Volvo also claims and electric 

range of around 30-40km, 

which would satisfy for a daily 

commute; however, there’s no 

driver-selectable EV mode, 

what happens is that the V60 

will happily run all the time on 

electric power only, but if you 

FUNCTIONAL: Under the tailgate, the Volvo’s wagon 

section can house up to 529-litres of cargo. 

VOLVO V60 T8: Hybrid system allows up to 30km of motoring on one charge. 

are forceful with the throttle 

the engine will burst into life 

and give you immediate 

acceleration. 

I was determined to make 

the V60 to work electrically 

for my commute, it does so 

willingly, but there were a couple 

of times when keeping pace with 

traffic meant petrol power cut 

in, however, the end result is 

that massive fuel savings can be 

achieved. 

During my time in the 

evaluation car the fuel usage 

displays were listing between 

3-4l/100km with 2.2l/100km 

showing instantaneously at 

100km/h, the engine turning 

over well below 2000rpm in 

eighth gear. Yes, the V60 has 

a traditional torque converter 

gearbox and, as you would 

expect in a luxury car, the 

transition of ratios is almost 

seamless, the mechanicals are 

fully refined. 

You need no special technique 

to drive the V60, it is very 

orthodox and is built with 

the sophistication we have 

come to expect from this great 

Scandinavian car maker. 

It also gets a five-star safety 

rating, no surprises there, Volvo 

is sold universally as being 

one of the world’s safest car 

manufacturers. 

• Price – Volvo V60 T8, 

$121,400 

• Dimensions – Length, 

4761mm; width, 1850mm; 

height, 1427mm 

• Configuration – Fourcylinder, 

four-wheel-drive, 

1969cc, 246kW, 430Nm, 

eight-speed automatic 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 4.5sec 

• Fuel usage – 2l/100km 

I’ve made no secret over the 

years of my affection for the 

traditional station wagon, and 

the V60 really appeals to me. In 

practical terms, the rear cargo 

section can hold up to 529-litres 

and loading it is far from a chore, 

the ride height is at an easy level 

for lifting the groceries out of the 

supermarket trolley and into the 

vehicle. 

That load space doesn’t 

compromise the rear seating area 

either, the V60 is spacious. 

On the road it is quiet and 

extremely comfortable, the spring 

and damper rates are biased 

towards comfort, which is no 

surprise, the V60 is a true touring 

car and it needs to cocoon the 

occupants. 

Because it sits low at just 

1.42mm there is little body 

movement when the tight corners 

arrive. 

Interestingly, the steering isn’t 

quite as involving as I would have 

expected for a car that sits on 

substantial tyres (Continental, 

235/40 x 19in), nevertheless, the 

driving experience is satisfying, 

and I particularly like the feel you 

get as electric drive pushes from 

the rear. 

It gets a load of kit for its 

$114,900 price tag (evaluation 

car $121,400). The controls are 

laid out for ease of use, many 

functions are operated through a 

large central touch screen display, 

which is very intuitive. 

Two Star Media employees 

drive Volvos. I’m always being 

reminded of the safety criteria 

which influenced the decision 

to buy into the brand. Nothing 

has changed, Volvo has set the 

benchmark in this area, and 

when you are inside the car you 

feel that quality build. 

The V60 is remarkable in terms 

of what it represents, its speed 

puts it most definitely in the 

performance car category, but it 

is also a thrifty fuel miser. Add in 

the wagon effect and you’ve got 

many cars in one. 

That’s just as you would expect 

from Volvo, it is something just 

that little bit different all round, 

but spectacular nonetheless.
