Owners worried about
future of Airbnb in city
• 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 multi-unit 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
Woolston and the wider city,
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,”

Ngutuawa School
(new Bamford School Build)
The staff, students and whanau of
Ngutuawa School are thrilled to have
moved into their new school building.
The school has been built on the site that
was Bamford School in Gould Crescent,
Woolston.
The name Ngutuawa, which literally
means the river mouth or estuary,
was gifted to the school community by
Ngāi Tūāhuriri and reflects the cultural
significance of our school being built placed
next to the mouth of the Ōpāwaho River.
The Bamford School BOT, staff and
community are very proud of our new
building which will provide a fantastic
learning and play space for generations to
come.
The new school has been well thought out
and designed for students to maximise
their learning in a variety of spaces.
While the senior area of the school is
more open plan, the junior class are
small and can be closed off from the
rest of the school so the new entrants
can have their own spaces as they settle
into life at school.
Large spaces have been incorporated
into the school for science and art
teaching.
A variety of sound proof break out spaces
give the students an opportunity to work
in smaller groups with specialist teachers
and support staff.
A new hall/gym area is perfect for sports
training and physical education lessons to
carry on no matter what the weather.
Year 3 student Ryan said “I was impressed
with the architecture and the builders really
saw the potential in us.”
All the whanau and students are very proud
of Ngutuawa School and we look forward to
a bright future
and realising
our potential.

Keeping correct time a
problem for repaired clock
THE newly-repaired New
Brighton clock is having some
time-keeping troubles but the
city council is working to resolve
the problem.
The heritage clock has
had accuracy issues since its
mechanism was repaired and
reinstalled last month, but this
was expected.
The city council head of
parks Andrew Rutledge says
the mechanism for the clock is
very complex and antiquated
and it was anticipated there
would be some initial problems
with accuracy and consistency
following reinstallation.
“We’d like to reassure people
that we’re aware of the problem
and we’re working closely with
a specialist sub-contractor to
carry out some ongoing minor
adjustments, but this may take
several weeks.”
This fine-tuning process is
part of bedding in, he says. “This
is totally normal and just part of
reinstalling complex machinery
that has been out of action for a
long time and has a number of
moving parts.
“It will take time to settle
down and operate consistently.

Proposals not supported
• From page 1
Policies to restrict nonresidential
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 regulation by registering
homes. All other options
leave you with an impossible
compliance issue.
“If you restrict self-contained
homes, visitors will limit their
time in Christchurch,” Harrison
said.
THey supported a nationwide
approach to regulations which
did not “geographically distort
the market,” and a mandatory
code of conduct for owners,
managers and guests enforceable
under a three-strike rule.
AirDNA data shows
Christchurch hosts earned about
$50 million between August 2018
and 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.

‘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

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.
