Owners worried about<br />

future of Airbnb in city<br />

• By Bea Gooding<br />

CHRISTCHURCH Airbnb<br />

owners are concerned about<br />

the future of home-share<br />

accommodation as the city<br />

council mulls changes to its<br />

rules for short-term<br />

accommodation.<br />

Proposed changes to the City<br />

Plan would allow whole unit listings<br />

in some areas but not others,<br />

and would not allow listings in<br />

multi-unit dwellings or on rear<br />

sections.<br />

Another option on the table<br />

enables listings up to a specified<br />

number of days, such as 60, 90 or<br />

120 days per year.<br />

City council head of planning<br />

and strategic transport David<br />

Griffiths confirmed a council<br />

committee would ultimately<br />

decide what to do with the<br />

proposals next month.<br />

But Christchurch Holiday<br />

Homes director Sue Harrison,<br />

who manages homes in<br />

Addington, Sydenham and<br />

Woolston, said there were fears<br />

a change would “put big hotel<br />

profits ahead of what’s best for<br />

the city.”<br />

“For many of us, these rules<br />

would mean putting away our<br />

welcome mats for good.<br />

“We can’t pretend it hasn’t<br />

been hurtful at times when our<br />

intentions have been wilfully<br />

misrepresented. We’re members<br />

of this community and we care<br />

Award honours nurse’s achievements<br />

CASSIE SCAIFE had a wide<br />

smile as she absorbed the news<br />

that she’d been named Ryman<br />

Healthcare’s nurse of the year.<br />

It was no small achievement<br />

– Christchurch’s Ryman Healthcare<br />

is New Zealand’s largest<br />

retirement village operator and<br />

employs 620 nurses at 36 villages<br />

in NZ and in Australia.<br />

Anthony Wilding Retirement<br />

Village has been a big part of life<br />

for the Halswell registered nurse.<br />

She first started at the village<br />

as a 17-year-old school student,<br />

working in the laundry and then<br />

the kitchen teams when it first<br />

opened in 2007.<br />

Scaife first trained as a<br />

paramedic in Wellington after<br />

leaving school, filling in her time<br />

with shifts as a caregiver at Rita<br />

Angus Retirement Village while<br />

she was studying.<br />

It was while working as an ambulance<br />

officer that she attended<br />

an emergency and realised that<br />

her destiny lay in working as an<br />

aged-care nurse.<br />

“We went on a callout to look<br />

after an older woman who was in<br />

trouble. It was when I was caring<br />

for her that I realised that looking<br />

after older people was what I<br />

really wanted to do,” said Scaife.<br />

“I think my workmates were<br />

surprised, but that’s what I<br />

DELIGHT: Ryman Healthcare’s nurse of the year Cassie Scaife (left) with Anthony Wilding<br />

Retirement village caregivers Ubbie Kooma, Raziya Nisha and Sharma Vasu.<br />

wanted to do.’’<br />

She returned to Christchurch<br />

to begin a three-year nursing<br />

course at CPIT and later returned<br />

to where it all started at<br />

Anthony Wilding to work as a<br />

registered nurse on the afternoon<br />

team.<br />

No one was more delighted<br />

with her win than her mother<br />

and sister, who were on hand<br />

for her awards night celebration<br />

along with daughters Phoebe, 5,<br />

and Hazel, 3.<br />

“It’s an amazing place and<br />

team to work with,’’ said Scaife.<br />

“You never hear them complain<br />

no matter what is going on.<br />

They just get on and put in the<br />

effort to care for everyone and to<br />

do their best for them.’’<br />

She was also grateful for<br />

Jeannie Sales, Anthony<br />

Wilding’s clinical manager,<br />

and Sharon Armstrong, village<br />

manager, for their backing over<br />

the years.<br />

Said Scaife: “Jeannie has been<br />

a great mentor. She’s always there<br />

and makes time for those long<br />

conversations you need about the<br />

lessons you’re learning and the<br />

problems that come up.<br />

“She told me early on to<br />

listen carefully and to ask the<br />

right questions to guide conversations,<br />

particularly with<br />

families.<br />

“It’s been great advice and<br />

something I try to pass on.<br />

“Sharon’s always efficient and<br />

supportive, no matter what the<br />

problem is.’’<br />

Scaife was brought up in<br />

Leeston and a lot of residents<br />

are retired farmers from the<br />

district.<br />

“I’ve grown up knowing them<br />

and their families so there’s a<br />

real community feel to what we<br />

do,” she said.<br />

“Talking to them, seeing<br />

that they are happy and<br />

knowing their quirks is all part<br />

of the job.’’<br />

KEEN MOUNTAIN bikers<br />

may no longer have to put up<br />

with the frustrations of a flat<br />

tyre.<br />

Cashmere cousins Josh<br />

Baker and Zak Shearer, both<br />

year 11, recently launched Flatless<br />

Tyres, a company that uses<br />

a foam product that sits inside<br />

tyres to stop sharp objects<br />

puncturing the rubber and<br />

damaging rims.<br />

The foam acts as a spacer<br />

between the tube and the tyre<br />

and requires no maintenance<br />

once it is installed.<br />

The project began when<br />

Josh was spending his weekends<br />

mountain biking at the<br />

Christchurch Adventure Park.<br />

But as he started doing bigger<br />

jumps and rougher trails,<br />

his tyres would puncture every<br />

two days, which was a frustrating<br />

and an expensive process<br />

to regularly replace them.<br />

“I’ve been riding pretty hard,<br />

but I kept getting a lot of flats,”<br />

he said.<br />

“After trying other options,<br />

like going tubeless, I got together<br />

with Zak and we started<br />

designing and figuring out a<br />

better way.”<br />

The 15-year-olds are homeschooled<br />

together and make<br />

the products themselves.<br />

Said Josh: “We tested many<br />

types of foam as we tried to<br />

find the perfect type for the<br />

flatless tyre.<br />

“This was fun, we smashed<br />

foam, struck it with hammers,<br />

stretched it and smacked it<br />

until it gave in.<br />

“We only chose the best foam<br />

that didn’t yield to our abuse.”<br />

The pair won $500 from the<br />

University of Waikato’s Seed<br />

Fund programme for young<br />

enterprise start-ups which<br />

helped to start the project.<br />

The venture was part of the<br />

Young Enterprise Scheme<br />

where high school students<br />

nationwide got a taste of what<br />

it was like to run their own<br />

business.<br />

Josh said replacement tyres<br />

would usually cost anywhere<br />

between $15 to $25 each which<br />

added up and could rise over<br />

time to costing as much as<br />

$2000.<br />

Because of this, they believed<br />

the innovation would be<br />

a game-changer in the cycling<br />

world by reducing costs and<br />

waste associated with tyre<br />

maintenance.<br />

This was already evident<br />

did not puncture, sustain any<br />

damage and weighed the same<br />

as standard tyres.<br />

“We haven’t had too many<br />

orders yet as it’s early days, but<br />

we’ve had a lot of people ask<br />

about it,” said Josh.<br />

“We haven’t seen any products<br />

like this in New Zealand,<br />

so it feels pretty good that<br />

we’re on to something.<br />

“We’re aiming to be at the<br />

top of the market and plan to<br />

Concerns outlined to community boards<br />

• From page 1<br />

Policies to restrict nonresidential<br />

activities in residential<br />

zones made consent more<br />

difficult to obtain.<br />

Said Harrison: “We don’t<br />

support discriminating between<br />

hosted and unhosted<br />

short-term rentals. Whether a<br />

host is present or not doesn’t<br />

form a sound basis for regulation<br />

as there’s many variables<br />

involved to police this.”<br />

Airbnb owners did not support<br />

the proposals due to the<br />

growing need for self-catering<br />

homes for groups and families<br />

that many motels, hotels and<br />

hostels did not cater for.<br />

They have outlined their<br />

concerns to community boards<br />

ONE OF several resident<br />

waterfowl species in our estuary<br />

is the New Zealand native<br />

shoveler or kuruwhengi.<br />

It is easily mistaken for the<br />

Mallard duck but if you look<br />

carefully you will notice that<br />

the shoveler has an enormously<br />

large bill which is very<br />

handy when sieving water and<br />

BIRDS OF THE ESTUARY<br />

Tanya Jenkins is the manager of the Avon-Heathcote Estuary Ihutai Trust,<br />

a non-profit organisation formed in 2002 to protect one of New Zealand’s<br />

most important coastal wetlands. Each week she introduces a new bird<br />

found in the estuary. Her column aims to raise the understanding of the<br />

values and uniqueness of the area.<br />

Good honest<br />

homestyle food<br />

Authentic hand<br />

shaped sour dough<br />

(no yeast & preservatives)<br />

mud for insects, plankton and<br />

small fish.<br />

There have been as many as<br />

2000 counted in and around<br />

our estuary and all this time<br />

you may have thought they<br />

were all just common mallard<br />

ducks. It is a tough job for the<br />

female laying a many as 10<br />

eggs which she will incubate<br />

across the city.<br />

They favoured the option<br />

which removed restrictions on<br />

whole unit listings and treated<br />

home-share accommodation<br />

as a residential activity.<br />

“This option allows for<br />

better regulation by registering<br />

homes. All other options leave<br />

you with an impossible compliance<br />

issue.<br />

“If you restrict self-contained<br />

homes, visitors will limit their<br />

time in Christchurch,” Harrison<br />

said.<br />

They supported a nationwide<br />

approach to regulations which<br />

did not “geographically distort<br />

the market,” and a mandatory<br />

code of conduct for owners,<br />

managers and guests enforceable<br />

under a three-strike rule.<br />

AirDNA data shows<br />

Christchurch hosts earned<br />

about $50 million between<br />

<strong>August</strong> 2018 and 2019.<br />

It is estimated about 250,000<br />

guests were hosted last year.<br />

Griffiths said some regulations<br />

could be approached<br />

from a nationwide perspective.<br />

“A nationwide code of<br />

practice would be possible for<br />

short-term accommodation,<br />

but would require agreement<br />

of all listing platform providers,<br />

council and other regulatory<br />

agencies,” he said.<br />

“However, a nationwide<br />

code of practice could not be<br />

the only regulatory mechanism<br />

in spite of this being a<br />

on her own and then bring up<br />

the youngsters all by herself.<br />

Not likely we will see mum<br />

and her brood in our estuary,<br />

as she prefers to keep them<br />

hidden during the day and<br />

instead feed them at night to<br />

protect the family. These birds<br />

only live up to seven years –<br />

not very old for a bird species.<br />

preferred option. City council<br />

has responsibilities under<br />

SOUTHERN VIEW<br />

A new era for long-established Opawa retirement village<br />

Chatswood Retirement Village is<br />

about to say farewell to its grand old<br />

lady with the demolition of the original<br />

1890s’ villa their residents have called<br />

home for many years. The villa was<br />

one of the originally built houses in the<br />

Opawa area and part of the initial startup<br />

building of Chatswood Rest home.<br />

To meet changing market<br />

expectations, the long-established and<br />

privately owned Chatswood Retirement<br />

Village has been undergoing significant<br />

redevelopment in recent years and is<br />

now about to undertake the demolition<br />

and redevelopment of what was part of<br />

the old rest home site.<br />

Originally built to accommodate 37<br />

rest home residents the architecturally<br />

designed replacement building will<br />

soon house 18 spacious care rooms with<br />

full en-suites and mini- kitchenettes,<br />

taking in stunning views of the Port<br />

Hills, along with a brand-new spacious<br />

reception and administration area. The<br />

building will be ready for occupation in<br />

2021.<br />

At a minimum of 29sqm, each care<br />

room will be able to cater for residents<br />

through the full continuum of care,<br />

meaning they will not need to move<br />

rooms to receive any higher level of<br />

care. Each room will cater for residents<br />

from those more independent to those<br />

requiring hospital level of care.<br />

“We are conscious that families as well<br />

as potential residents want appealing<br />

space and surroundings when they are<br />

looking for care for loved ones,” says<br />

sales and marketing manager Rhonda<br />

Sherriff.<br />

“Chatswood village has been<br />

developed sympathetically to appeal<br />

to the local residential surroundings,<br />

with single-storey, villa-like buildings<br />

and beautifully landscaped grounds.<br />

Chatswood has been awarded<br />

community garden awards for the last<br />

number of years in recognition of the<br />

care and attention the gardens receive<br />

throughout the year.”<br />

Chatswood Retirement Village prides<br />

itself on being a boutique care complex,<br />

close to many local amenities, and with<br />

the reputation for delivery of good<br />

quality care. Management and staff<br />

ensure that residents and their family<br />

members needs are individually known<br />

and catered for, with personalised<br />

packages of care.<br />

Chatswood is privately owned by very<br />

experienced aged care facility owners,<br />

so this means management, staff and<br />

owners can react quickly to situations,<br />

be responsive to residents’ needs and<br />

deliver personalised quality care.<br />

“Our staff consists of very experienced<br />

Registered Nurses on site 24 hours a day<br />

along with well-educated and trained<br />

care staff. Our clinical staff are some<br />

of the most skilled and experienced<br />

in Canterbury and go well above the<br />

call of duty to ensure residents receive<br />

Consider Chatswood<br />

for your<br />

“Forever Home”<br />

comprehensive care.”<br />

Chatswood offers a homely<br />

atmosphere and friendly people that<br />

work and reside on the site.<br />

“Residents express that they belong<br />

to one large extended family at<br />

Chatswood. This was endorsed during<br />

our Covid-19 lockdown when families<br />

were able to keep communicating with<br />

residents via IT technology each day,<br />

when they could not meet their loved<br />

ones in person,” Rhonda says.<br />

Chatswood has 36 superbly<br />

appointed, warm spacious one and<br />

two-bedroom apartments and studios,<br />

which take in the sun and beautiful<br />

garden aspects. They welcome enquiries<br />

from anyone who would like to<br />

consider Chatswood as a new home<br />

for themselves or their family member.<br />

Their care rooms, apartments and suites<br />

are popular so don’t hesitate to give<br />

them a call on (03)332 7323 for more<br />

information and a tour.<br />

Come join our family at Chatswood<br />

and enjoy the benefits of a small<br />

boutique village with award<br />

winning gardens in the heart<br />

of Opawa/St Martins. We have<br />

spacious north facing sun filled one<br />

and two bedroomed apartments<br />

and a studio available now”.<br />
