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 Bishopdale,
Papanui and Bryndwr 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.
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.

our campaign was excellent, as was his honest and professional advice. We were in
safe hands from the moment we signed him as our agent, right through to handing
over the keys. We were singing his praises prior to auction day and then, wow!
Auction day was fantastic and it was great to see him and the auction team work.

Upgrades for play spaces
• By Louis Day
ALMOST HALF a million
dollars is set to be spent on
recreational areas across the area.
Bishopdale Park skate park,
Armitage Reserve play space and
Annandale Park play space will
all receive renewals after their
landscape plans were approved
last week.
This will
see the city
council pour
a total of
$480,000 into
improving the
standard of
these facilities.
David
Cartwright
The majority
of the money,
$340,000, will
be put towards Bishopdale Park’s
skate park as it nears the end of
its lifespan.
The newly-approved design
includes a 1.65m hipped quarter
pipe with a corner pocket, several
hips with a banked extension,
a double-sided pole jam, and a
mini ramp, with work on the site
set to commence in February.
Both the pyramid and round
rail elements will also be made
higher.
Installed in the late 1980s, it
was originally an asphalt roller
skating area, with the addition of
skate park elements in 1996.
Design elements for the new
skate area follow community
feedback at the Bishopdale Skate
Jam, along with wider consultation.
The majority of submissions
on the upgrade supported the
improvements.
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board chairman
David Cartwright believed
that the mix of new elements
will appeal to beginners and
intermediate-level skaters.
“Skateboarding is firmly
entrenched in the suburban
landscape and we need to keep
pace with the demand for fresh
elements and new challenges,”
he said.
“Much like the skaters, we
need to remain agile and bring
renewed energy to a popular
public space.
“The present site is ripe for
renewal – and a quarter pipe.”
Meanwhile, the play space on
Armitage Reserve will also see
$78,000 put towards it.
This money will go towards
a “space shuttle spinner,” three
new swings, retention of the
existing large slide, a picnic table
and a new asphalt footpath.
Community feedback showed
a strong support for more swings
to be included in the landscape

plan as well as deep concern over
the proposal to remove the existing
slide, which the city council
decided to leave in its place in the
end.
The city council is aiming to
begin work on the site late this
year.
A further $62,000 is also set to
be spent on the play space within
Annandale Park.
Work on the park, which the
city council is again hoping to
begin towards the end of this
year, will include the installation
of two swings, a mulberry bush
carousel, a “dinosaur rocker,”
a slide, three new trees and a
picnic table.
Sports gear
initiative
spreads
• By Bea Gooding
A SPORTS gear initiative has
been experiencing high demand
since its establishment four years
ago, and now it is now spreading
further afield.
The Give Gear Get Great initiative
collects donations of unused
sports equipment and shoes,
which is then recycled back into
the community at local events or
through a collection system.
It originally began in the
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board area in 2016, eventually
spreading to the Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton
area, and were now
looking to set up collection points
in the Papanui-Innes area to benefit
more families.
Spreydon-Cashmere Community
Board chairwoman Karolin
Potter was the mastermind
behind the idea and said demand
had skyrocketed since it started.
“We can’t meet demand, but
we’ve been delighted by the success
of Give Gear Get Great,” she said.
Ten wheelie bins to collect the
gear were ready to be rolled out
into the area once the city council
finalised with community groups
who were interested in delivering
this initiative and hosting a bin.

‘Aunties’ helping vulnerable women
Neighbourhood
groups, organisations
and charities play
an important part in
keeping communities
supported in a
number of ways. The
Christchurch Aunties
chairwoman Heather
Milne speaks to Bea
Gooding about how
they help vulnerable
women and children
experiencing family
violence
Walk me through what
services The Christchurch
Aunties provide and how it
came to be what it is today.
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,

assistance for women and children experiencing family violence. PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN
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.
The Christchurch Aunties
started in 2014 when Jackie Clark
in Auckland (who founded The
Aunties movement up there) put
me in touch with a woman who
was moving to Christchurch for
her safety.
It became apparent that
there were many people in the
community who wanted to
help, and that there was a way
to harness social media and
business connections to get
results. This was a time when I
also realised how much learning
I had (and still have) to do about
family violence, discrimination,
and unconscious bias.
In 2017, I gathered a group
of people around me to be the
board of The Christchurch
Aunties. We set the wheels in
motion with systems, policy,
communications, and finally,
charitable status earlier this year.
It’s been an amazing journey so
far.
What does it mean to be an
“auntie?”
Anyone, anywhere can be
an “auntie.’’ The only rules are
that you need to be kind, and
not judge people. That last bit
is striking because it’s human
nature to judge – we’re all guilty
of it. 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.

and children experiencing violence
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.
Another important role
we have is to cultivate the
nurturing and generous side
of the Canterbury community
that we’ve seen so much of in
the past 10 years. People really
want to help and learn, but don’t
always know how. So we gently
introduce people to the concept
of volunteering and support, and
how to donate effectively so that
recipients feel respected.
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.
The social workers and support
staff who we see working with
the clients and families have dealt
with the increase for so long,
that I think it’s become the ‘new
normal’. They do an incredible
job.

What are some
misconceptions about family
violence and vulnerability that
the average person may not
know about? Why is this the
case?
There is a very common
assumption that family violence
happens to people in other
neighbourhoods and to other
families. A very mistaken belief
is that family violence is only
experienced by people who are
struggling financially. For a long
time, family violence wasn’t
talked about in New Zealand, so
I think a lot of misconceptions
sprung up simply from ignorance
– and humans are reluctant to
change their thought patterns.
There are Christchurch aunties
out there who have experienced
violence and vulnerability in
the past or have supported their
family or friends through the
system. These people are from
diverse backgrounds and cultures.
They are from all walks of life.
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. Your behaviour with
these simple steps will inspire
others, including children. Know
who to contact for advice and
support when someone you know
comes to you angry or hurt.
There are a whole lot of great
people out there who can help.

Antarctic spirit encapsulated
A GROUP of year 7 and 8 pupils
from Papanui’s St Joseph’s
School have become the first
to graduate from the inaugural
International Antarctic Centre
online learning programme.
A number of pupils gained an
excellence for their efforts in the
10-week academy.
Said International Antarctic
Centre education manager Miranda
Satterthwaite: “We were
impressed with how thoroughly
the students adapted to receiving
online instruction and how
they could apply their learning
– from building Antarctic-bases
to understanding the intention
behind the Antarctic Treaty to
the increasing issue of tourism –
to the in-centre exploration that
marked the final assessment.
“Lockdown was a test for
us all, but the students of St
Joseph’s truly handled their
challenge with the mettle of
Antarctic explorers before
them.”
St Joseph’s School deputy
principal Marietjie Verweij said
they considered themselves
very lucky that the pupils had
been set-up for digital learning
and were ready to discover and
extend their learning just as the
Antarctic Academy programme
was ready to launch.
ADVENTURE: (From left) – International Antarctic Centre’s
education manager Miranda Satterthwaite and Hagglund
driver Phurenje Sherpa with pupils Claudia Vivian,
Molly Maynard, George Robertson, Ryan Cooke and Carter
Devlin, and St Joseph’s School deputy principal Marietjie
Verweij.
“We just couldn’t believe how
it all worked out, given how
unexpected and how disruptive
the nine weeks could otherwise
have been for our students and
teachers,” she said.
The school had a special
assembly held to honour the
academy graduates and to
welcome the start of the school’s
contribution to Wild in Art’s
community sculpture and charity
programme raising funds
for Cholmondeley Children’s
Home.
Satterthwaite said the International
Antarctic Centre’s
academy is enjoying strong
demand for its in-centre and
online programmes and has
plans to further this as schools
understand the significance of
Antarctic studies and how it
meets curriculum and social
needs so thoroughly.
“Science, geography, history,
biology, engineering are all met,
but one thing that undeniably
provides the most positive
impact on well-being is meeting
one of our real-life rescue
penguins.”
Proposals not supported
• From page 1
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 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.

Mrs Dentons café & delicatessen is what I’ve been cooking at
home, cooking for my family, forever!”
While you will always find speciality gourmet pies, such as
Chatham Island blue cod, leek and parsley, and scallop pies in the
range, the sky is the limit when it comes to Delwyn’s culinary combinations.

MODERN
WORKSHOP
OFFERS OLD
FASHIONED SERVICE
2020 has seen some big changes for MD

thing that remains consistent is the high level
of service and expertise they have always
been known for.
Formally, Allan’s Tyre & Auto, MD Automotive
is a fully MTA Authorised workshop,
offering a full range of mechanical repairs.
From Warrants of Fitness, servicing, wheel
alignments and tyre fitting through to

Pre-purchase inspections are also available so
you can buy your next car with confidence.
While MD Automotive are the only

makes and models and have over 20 years’
experience between them. Experienced in all
Mitsubishi models (Pajero, Triton, Challenger,
Colt, Galant, Diamante, Lancer, Evolutions,
L300), they can also service all late model
Mistubishi’s with common rail diesel.

Community Board Plan.
THis sets out our

The plan identifies four
main priorities, the first
being to improve and

understand that a cohesive,
resilient and happy community
needs places to
meet, socialise and learn,
to be active and to connect.
The need to support our
vulnerable communities is
something we hear about
often, and this has also
become a priority in this
plan.
We are lucky in Papanui-
Innes to have some amazing
groups working hard
to make our communities
better for all, and we want
to continue to support
them, particularly in
targeting youth, the elderly
and those who are socially
isolated.

for the next two years, we
want to ensure that our local
community is educated
about what is happening
and can feel heard.
We want to grow our
community networks,
encourage communityled

Destined for real estate
If there was one word to describe Ray
White real estate agent Brent Rushworth,
it would be enthusiastic. This man loves
his job and loves the company he works
for.
Brent’s career in real estate began when
he joined Ray White Bishopdale in 2017.
Prior to that he had run the New Zealand
branch of an Australian optical supply
company for 11 years, and when the New
Zealand operation was closed following
a buy-out, he was head-hunted to join a
similar company.
After a year with them, Brent decided it
was time for a complete change.
“My wife and I were keen on real
estate,” Brent says. “We had bought, sold
and built houses, so I knew that’s what I
wanted to do. I wanted to design my own
destiny, so while I was still working at
my last job I studied for my Real Estate
Diploma through Open Polytech in the
evenings.
“I knew Barry Ellis (owner of Ray
White Strowan and Bishopdale) through
rugby, we met for a coffee one day and he
invited me to come on board.”
Although it was a “steep learning
curve” for Brent when he started, he
is now an area expert in the NorWest,
particularly in Casebrook and
Bishopdale. In the three years since he
joined Ray White Bishopdale, he has
become a well-known face in the area
through signage and letterbox drops,
which has helped him become highly
successful in selling real estate. So much
so, that this year he has achieved Ray
White Premier Status.
“This is based on sales calculated on
the Gross Commission Index, as well as
customer feedback,” he explains. “Every
time we sell a property, both the vendor
and the purchaser are asked to complete
a survey and give us an NPS score out of
10.”
The presentation of his Premier Status
will take place in September.
“Being successful in the real estate
business is about the relationships
we build with our clients. Everyone’s
situation is different, so we need to be
empathetic, make the process as stress
free as possible, and help people achieve
their dreams,” Brent says.
“We have a saying in the office, and
that’s ‘clients for life’. So, people come
back to us whenever they want to sell a
property, and they refer us to family and
friends.”
Brent describes Ray White Bishopdale
as a “fantastic company to work for”.
“There’s so much support and
encouragement – they want to see you
succeed.”
The family values represented by the
Ray White company, which was founded
in Australia in 1902 by Ray White and is
a fourth-generation family business, are
mirrored with Barry and Karen Ellis, he
says.
“It’s the same values – you become part
of the family, and that’s important to me.
I like the culture here, too – having goals
to achieve. The team environment is very
important.”
Brent’s wife Jayne has joined Ray White
Bishopdale as his PA, taking care of
administration and calling clients. She
is currently studying for her Real Estate
Diploma and once she achieves that, she
and Brent will join forces as a real estate
team.
Real estate is a demanding industry,
so it’s important to keep a balance
with family life and taking time out to
recharge the batteries, Brent says.
He and Jayne have three sons, 20, 17
and 12, and as a family they are actively
Brent Rushworth and his wife Jayne.
involved in rugby, skiing, and surfing.
They live locally in Casebook, and
Brent has been club captain of the local
Merivale Papanui Rugby Football Club
and currently coaches the junior team.
He also provides sponsorship support
to the rugby club, the local bowling club
and Casebrook Intermediate.
Enthusiastic in every aspect of his life,
Brent makes sure he always provides the
best possible service for his clients. If you
are thinking about your next move in

Okay, so this year – this most unusual of years –
it’s all about home.
Staying home, enjoying your very own backyard
or that beautiful expanse we know as our entire
countryside here in New Zealand.
Holidays, breaks, refreshers, little weekends
away are all to be enjoyed within our own
boundaries and borders.
Unlike other years, it’s about discovering or
rediscovering what many Kiwis take for granted.
Large, green open spaces, public galleries and
museums (that unlike those in many cities
around the world are free to visit), and rivers,
lakes and mountains within driving distance for
most.
I can vividly remember being on a European trip
with my family when the guide asked where we
came from. After listening to our response, a long
pause occurred, then a rather loud, disapproving
Gaelic sniff. “Noo Zeeland, zee end of zee earth.”
And at the time I thought it was, having taken 30
hours to arrive at our destination, but today that
very isolation feels like a blessing. It’s easy to
see why so many are also taking time to reinvest
some love and attention in their own properties
due to staying home rather than traveling, and
businesses such as landscapers, renovation
builders and interior designers are seeing the
benefits of that change.
If a staycation is currently on your radar and
you want to take the time to focus on your own
home, here are some options that might give
you some satisfaction, add value … or both.
First, Declutter
Nail that garage first. Get rid of all the stuff that’s
broken, outdated or no longer useful.
If it’s still functional but of no use to you, give it
away, recycle or dispose of it in a method that’s
environmentally mindful, if possible.
I personally use the garage as a bit of a dumping
ground, much to the frustration of my husband,
but I also love the feeling of nailing an area that’s
long needed a tidy-up.
Once you’ve done that, move inside and see
if you can improve your surroundings and
wellbeing by editing some of the stuff that fills
your space.
Gentle Changes
With these two areas decluttered, let’s go for
some interior changes.
Move furniture, move art, have some fun and
enjoy the changes.
Edit, and what you don’t edit, use. Nothing
needs to occupy a precious space where items
are relegated as being ‘just for good’.
Use everything you have, no matter its value or
composition, and have fun.
Your family space should convey a feeling of
warmth, wellbeing and welcome.
Step Outside
During the lockdown period, I remember
watching people in Spain and thinking, what
must it be like not being permitted to go outside?
This is where so many of us are fortunate. No
matter your home’s size, your property address,
whether you’re in a large residence or a compact
unit, try to make the most of the outdoors. Your
outdoors. Follow the sun (if there is any!) and
give thanks that although we might not be able
to travel the world, you’d travel the world to find
what we have in our own backyard.
It seems that not only myself but others have
had a chance to stop chasing everything that
appears greener somewhere else, instead
appreciating what’s been in front of our noses
the whole time. Home.
Here’s to your home and mine, and here’s to a
staycation.

Just because your hair might be grey,
doesn’t mean your life needs to be.
Today’s 70 year olds are the healthiest, strongest,
and most mentally agile history has ever known.
So Summerset Retirement Villages are designed
for the active lifestyles of the youngest “oldies”
there’s ever been. Think this sounds like you or
someone you love?
To find out about our three Christchurch villages,
