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. 

The sub-contractor is well

The clock tower had suffered 

damage caused by the February

environment.

Work to repair the structure 

began in July last year. The 

building was restored and 

upgraded and the clock mechanism 

and face was removed and 

repaired by a specialist subcontractor. 

Work on the clock tower was 

completed on July 3. 

The “go to” local law firm for the 

eastern, hill and seaside suburbs 

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.

about some really big projects

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

and the holes are being dug for 

the actual pools. If you’ve been

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://

Secondly, there are nine 

months of road works ahead for 

Woolston Village, so there are 

fences and traffic cones aplenty. 

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.

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.

‘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.

THE 2020 GENERAL ELECTION 

AND REFERENDUMS 

Enrol by 16 August 

to make voting 

quick and easy. 

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY 

Waterfowl not to be 

mistaken for a duck 

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.

ONE OF several resident 

waterfowl species in our 

estuary is the New Zealand 

native shoveler or kuruwhengi. 

It is easily mistaken for 

the Mallard duck but if you 

look carefully you will 

notice that the shoveler has 

an enormously large bill 

which is very handy when 

sieving water and mud for 

insects, plankton and small 

fish. 

There have been as many 

as 2000 counted in and 

around our estuary and 

all this time you may have 

thought they were all just 

common mallard ducks. 

It is a tough job for the 

female laying a many as 10 

eggs which she will incubate 

on her own and then 

bring up the youngsters all 

by herself. 

Not likely we will see 

mum and her brood in our 

HANDY: Shovelers are recognised for their large 

bills, which help them to sieve water to find their 

food.

estuary, as she prefers to 

keep them hidden during 

the day and instead feed 

them at night to protect the 

family. These birds only 

live up to seven years – not 

very old for a bird species. 

How can we help these 

birds thrive? Keep dogs 

on the lead when walking 

near the estuary as to not 

disturb them while they 

are nesting, feeding or 

resting.



Specialists advise a vehicle 

check as winter sets in 

Winter weather can present a range of tricky driving 

conditions for motorists – from wet, slippery roads and heavy 

frosts to fog and driving rain. That’s why it is important to make 

sure your vehicle is in tip-top shape and ready to deal with these 

hazards. 

The team at Roses Auto Electrical in Cranford Street 

recommends checking that your lights and windscreen wipers 

are in working order, and to ensure your vehicle will start on 

cold mornings they offer free battery and alternator and starter 

tests, and free battery fitting. 

Their well-equipped workshop includes specialised diagnostic 

equipment designed to find any faults with vehicles’ electronics, 

air bags or ABS braking system, which the qualified and 

experienced auto electrical specialists will repair quickly and 

efficiently. 

Roses Auto Electrical provides full electrical services for all 

makes and models of European, Japanese and light commercial 

vehicles. Any time a warning light flashes up on the dashboard, 

they advise calling into their workshop to have it checked out. 

Roses Auto Electrical has been in business for more than 20 

years, and the workshop team are constantly updating their 

knowledge with industry training, as well as having the latest 

state-of-the-art equipment in the workshop. 

The customer comes first for the friendly, professional team 

at Roses Auto Electrical, and motorists having their vehicle 

serviced there can have confidence in its performance and 

safety, especially in cold weather when driving is often more 

hazardous. 

Roses Auto Electrical is located at 518 Cranford Street, 

Papanui. Phone 352 5090 to book in for service or repairs, 

or visit their website www.roseselectrical.co.nz for more 

information.
