Meeting to decide future 

of Cranford St transport lane 

• By Bea Gooding 

A PIVOTAL meeting will be held 

tomorrow to decide the future of 

an additional transport lane on 

Cranford St. 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board will settle on which option 

to endorse at the meeting. The city 

council will then make a decision 

on whether to approve the option 

at a later date. 

An investigation by city council 

staff was undertaken to assess the 

operational layout of Cranford St, 

between Innes Rd and Berwick St 

to mitigate the predicted increase 

in traffic throughout 

the area caused by the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor once it 

opens. 

Their report will be presented 

to the community board at the 

meeting for members to consider. 

Options include a clearway, 

which was a second general traffic 

lane, a high occupancy vehicle 

lane for vehicles with more than 

one occupant during peak hour, 

or a bus lane. 

The community has since preferred 

a lane dedicated for public 

transport as they feared cars were 

being prioritised over the community. 

Traffic analysis by city council 

•HAVE YOUR SAY: What 

should the additional lane 

on Cranford St be used 

for once the Christchurch 

Northern Corridor opens? 

Email your views to 

norwest@starmedia.kiwi 

staff indicated the Cranford St 

and Innes Rd intersection was 

likely to act as a bottleneck for 

the CNC, discharging about 1400 

to 1600 vehicles per hour. 

The city council received 253 

submissions from the community 

regarding the downstream effects 

projects in August last year. 

“Submitters provided feedback 

that the plan is putting cars 

before the community and making 

this corridor too focused on 

single-occupancy vehicles,” the 

report said. 

The report comes after mounting 

frustration by residents in the 

area in recent months due to consistent 

roadworks, with Cranford 

St becoming a playground for 

dangerous drivers. 

Majority of the roadworks in St 

Albans is due to be completed by 

the end of this month, with the 

CNC expected to open by the end 

of this year. 

DECISION: Cranford St road works, between Innes Rd and Berwick St, where options for 

an additional transport lane are being considered at the Papanui-Innes Community Board 

meeting tomorrow.

Opposition grows over planned liquor store 


OBJECTIONS: A Bottle-O is planned for Papanui which if approved would mean three 

liquor stores within 200m of eachother. 

RESIDENTS FEAR Papanui will 

become a “liquor village” if an 

application for a new liquor store 

is granted. 

Momentum is building to stop 

a new Bottle-O outlet on Main 

North Rd from opening, which 

if granted, would mean three 

liquor stores would be located 

within 200m of each other. 

New complaints by Papanui 

residents, including Robert Bush, 

have been made to the city council 

over the matter. 

“All local residents are really 

angry. I haven’t heard one person 

say they don’t mind it,” he said. 

“I strongly object to the new 

liquor store in Papanui because 

there are already too many 

liquor stores, supermarkets and 

bars that sell alcohol. Papanui 

High School is also just 600m 

away from the proposed site. 

“This is totally horrible if the 

council grants new licensing. 

Now this is a liquor village, 

with drunk people shouting at 

the roads and urinating on the 

streets.” 

Last week, Nor’West News 

revealed an application by BD 

Bottle Ltd was made to open 

Bottle-O Papanui at 30 Main 

North Rd, with proposed opening 

hours from Monday to Sunday 

between 10am and 10pm. 

Other liquor stores in close 

proximity included Super Liquor 

Papanui, which was 50m away, 

and Thirsty Liquor Papanui, 

which was 180m away. 

Opposite the proposed store 

was also a bus stop which was 

also extensively used by school 

children, including teenagers 

from Papanui High. 

Bush only heard about the 

proposal when his friend supplied 

him with more information 

about the application and 

through the public notice on the 

city council’s website. 

Papanui resident Mel Price 

also objects the application and 

has been raising awareness of the 

issue to residents and businesses 

due to notifications only being 

found on the city council’s 

website. 

“My main aim is to make sure 

the residents of Papanui are 

aware of the license application 

as often these can slip through 

because no one knows about it to 

object,” she said. 

“I am not opposed to the sale 

of alcohol, but I don’t think 

Papanui’s main street needs 

three liquor stores. Studies have 

shown that an increase in outlets 

clustered together means there is 

potential for harm.” 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board member Simon Britten said 

he has heard both positive and 

negative comments over the matter, 

but still questioned whether a 

new store on the same stretch of 

road as others was warranted. 

The revolution 

in heat pumps 

is here now!

store should open on

Concerns about the societal 

impacts of alcohol such as 

violence from intoxication, and 

longer-term health impacts such 

as foetal alcohol syndrome, 

needed to be considered, he said. 

“It does seem like a lot for a 

small area,” he said. 

He supported a need for 

public notifications to be more 

widespread beyond the city 

council’s website but understood 

the difficulty in doing so. 

“It’s always difficult to reach 

everybody. In general, I’m 

always supportive of the council 

to do more to direct the community. 

I have noticed a few signs 

up in the community though, 

like on store fronts.” 

The community board is 

unable to submit objections 

but are able to speak on behalf 

of residents at a later public 

hearing by the District Licencing 

Committee, which was not 

regarded as a public submission. 

The public has until Monday 

to object the application.

Every now and then (think maybe once 

or twice in a decade), I’ve been witness 

to a form of general real estate madness. 

Good madness, but madness nevertheless 

– unforeseen and unexplainable. 

Against every prediction, including the 

predictions of expert economists and bankers, 

and despite everything that has happened, real 

estate sales (both in terms of volume and value) 

are exceptional right now. 

There’s an incredible hunger to purchase, to 

push higher than expected when buying, to 

compete and to utilize auction. 

Unlike in other periods, this phenomenon 

doesn’t restrict itself to one particular price point 

or demographic: it’s every price point and over a 

great variety of locations. 

We have had spectacular results in our auction 

rooms, and it’s a sure sign that the market 

is favouring owners when they request an 

auction campaign for their property rather than 

challenging the idea. 

So, here are some personal observations: 

Current Activity 

July, August and September, so far, have been 

extraordinary, with July’s figures showing the 

highest number of sales in five years nationwide. 

I’m expecting this to be no different for August 

and September, with our own company 

seeing lofty sales records exceeded and then 

superseded. 

Interest Rates and Interest Returns 

Yes, interest rates are low, in fact, they are tiny 

in comparison to anything any of us (including 

those with memories of up to 21% in the ‘80s) 

have ever had. 

And this is giving people the chance to upgrade, 

get on the property ladder and make lots of 

property decisions, e.g. why rent when I can buy 

for the same, if not less, weekly outgoings? 

It’s also creating a massive dilemma for those 

with bank investments who are seeing changes 

to their life and retirement choices pushing them 

into property purchases. This group is looking 

to create returns that, whilst lower from a yield 

perspective, are still better than the banks. 

This pool of buyers sitting on savings or large 

equity in their properties is buying in force and 

it’s easy to see why. 

The Election 

Is having no discernible effect on people’s 

property decisions. 

And if that’s a surprise, it’s supported by a recent 

study undertaken by Trade Me, where 82% of the 

1,700 survey respondents said the timing and 

result of the election had no bearing on their 

decision to buy or sell. 

Expats 

As I told someone recently, who asked, ‘is it true 

expats are coming home and buying?’, I can only 

reply ‘yes’ and ‘yes’. 

Even with border restrictions, Statistics NZ has 

reported that up until June, annual migration 

showed a net 79,400. 

What are they looking for? It appears to be 

location, which is everything. New is preferred, 

proximity to schools, cafés, the parks and city 

centre is desired, and they are shopping with big 

sums. Family members are often scouting and 

advising first. 

Less Available Listings 

Which feeds the elements already mentioned, 

pushing prices – and, sometimes, tempers – 

and generally adding to the current state of 

‘madness’ in the current market. 

My final observations are probably the most 

important. Despite the current climate, 

most buyers are still tough on compromised 

properties, those poorly presented and with title 

or structural issues. 

And please work with professionals rather than 

risk underselling. Just one of our recent success 

stories had owners enjoy a campaign that saw 

them sell for 68% above RV, creating a new local 

record. 

For results, or even just a conversation about 

real estate, please don’t hesitate to contact me. 

Summer is on its way!

Planting trees a bid to beat run-off 

• By Avneesh Vincent 

THOUSANDS OF kahikatea 

trees were planted in the 

Cranford Basin on Saturday 

hosted by Trees For Canterbury. 

“About 3500 kahikatea seeds 

were planted and over the next 

two years, a total of 40,000 

trees will be planted,” Trees For 

Canterbury manager Steve Bush 

said. 

He said it was part of a bigger 

project which was led both by the 

city council and Government. 

Cranford Basin was a low lying 

area that held stormwater during 

large storms. The planting was 

a part of a city council scheme 

named the Styx stormwater 

management project which dealt 

with stormwater treatment and 

detention. 

“The planting will also add to 

the benefit of the basin as the 

trees will act like a big sponge 

and absorb the water,” said the 

city council’s parks unit and 

ecologist Antony Shadbolt. 

The area around the basin had 

constant stormwater run-offs 

and caused inconveniences 

for the residents living near it, 

especially some farmers. 

Emma Twadell, chairwoman 

of St Albans Residents 

Association said that some 

BENEFITS: Families across Christchurch volunteered for kahikatea planting at Cranford Basin on Saturday. 

residents had struggled for 20 

years. 

Said St Albans resident Martin 

Meehan: “I know my neighbours 

had a vegetable farm and had to 

deal with the stormwater runoffs 

every single winter.” 

Meehan said he was not 

sure how the plantings would 

significantly reduce the run-offs. 

City council manager of parks, 

programmes and partnerships 

Kate Russell said that trees 

themselves would not reduce the 

urban run-offs. 

She said the “flood alleviation” 

improvements was provided 

by the new bunding and 

control structures in the basin. 

However, the tree planting was 

a part of the land management 

which would help in the “flood 

alleviation” purposes. 

Shadbolt said that while the 

trees may take a long time to 

grow. He said it would gradually 

start to “take effect” in the 

basin. 

Bush said about 96 people 

turned up. 

“For us, it’s more of an 

environmental issue and 

commemorate every person who 

served in the armed forces, so it’s 

a memorial as well.” 

The planting was a part of the 

One Billion Trees programme, 

which helps people to plant 

living memorials which honour 

members of their communities. 

It was launched on April 25, 

2018, to mark the 100-year 

anniversary of the end of World 

War 1.

Centre rebuild back on track 


THE ST Albans Community 

Centre rebuild is well under way 

and is set to open early next year 

in spite of delays. 

The $3.1m community centre, 

which was due to open in December 

this year, will now open 

by mid-February. 

Still to come was the construction 

of the car park, along 

with the remainder of the interior 

work, but the roof and walls 

have so far been installed. 

The project was met with 

delays due to the Covid-19 lockdown, 

with building materials 

taking longer than planned to 

arrive from overseas. 

The St Albans Residents Association 

will manage the centre, 

which has been operating from 

the St Albans Tennis Club building 

since last year. 

Prior to their temporary 

relocation to the tennis club, 

operated from a transitional 

community centre provided by 

Lions Club International Foundation 

on Colombo St between 

2012 and 2019. 

“We’re looking forward to 

moving out of there, it’s going to 

be fantastic to have a permanent 

home. The tennis club wasn’t 

suitable for all of our groups,” said 

SARA treasurer Lynne O’Keefe. 

ASSET: Lynne O’Keefe in front of the St Albans Community Centre. 

“It has been a bit frustrating, 

but the centre is worth waiting 

for.” 

The new premises includes 

a hall, three meeting rooms, 

kitchen facilities and an outside 

deck area available for the community 

to utilise. 

An adjacent section purchased 

by the city council will also offer 

a quiet green space containing 

raised garden beds. 

O’Keefe said the centre will 

be an “amazing” asset for the 

community. She was looking 

forward to seeing more groups 

coming back to use the space 

after relocating elsewhere. 

She hoped more groups 

would get on board to join other 

activities on offer such as gentle 

exercise groups for the elderly, 

PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN 

painting groups and yoga. 

O’Keefe said steps were being 

taken in order for the facility to 

be more sustainable following 

concerns last year about a lack 

of options. 

An option included taking 

rainwater and using it for toilets 

or to water the gardens in an 

effort to conserve water and be 

more energy-efficient. 

Call for new 

hall at 

Marshland 

A NEED FOR a new facility 

to better meet the needs of the 

community has been mooted. 

Built in the 1930s, Marshland 

Hall, owned by The Marshland 

Hall Trust, is underutilised and 

no longer meets the changing 

needs of the Marshland and Burwood 

community. 

The trust is currently seeking 

feedback to ascertain the 

need for a new building for the 

community’s health, well-being, 

recreational needs. 

The results of the feedback will 

aid the trust in their submission 

on the city council’s Facilities 

Network Plan, and to build a business 

case for a new facility. 

The current earthquake-damaged 

building is still being used 

by groups such as table tennis and 

aerial acrobatics but did not offer 

the flexibility of spaces demanded 

by smaller groups, or groups with 

elderly or very young users. 

A new facility would also 

support the growth of the community 

due to new developments, 

such as Prestons Park. 

The survey can be accessed 

through the Marshland Hall 

Trust Facebook page and the 

Trustees are “pleased” with the 

almost 200 responses received in 

just two weeks.





Funding 

past 

half way 

COLLETT’S CORNER is more than 

halfway towards crowdfunding the 

$800,000 it needs to progress to its next 

stage. 

As of yesterday morning, the project 

had raised $448,440 from 143 people. 

The crowdfunding campaign closes on 

October 29. 

Members of the public can buy shares 

in the community-owned project by 

Ohu Developments for $120 per share. It 

aims to raise up to $1.4m. 

Those behind the $14m three-storey, 

mixed-use development are forecasting 

an average annual return on 7 per cent 

for those who invest at this stage. 

Collett’s Corner is planned for a 974 

sq m site on the corner of London and 

Oxford Sts in Lyttelton. It will feature 

a wellness centre, hospitality outlets 

and shops on the ground floor, and 20 

privately-owned apartments above. 

The design gained resource consent 

in March. It now hopes to open by June 

2023 – about six months later than 

what was forecast before the Covid-19 

pandemic struck. Building is expected 

to start in January 2022. 

Bargain book sale is back 

CHRISTCHURCH City 

Libraries’ annual Big Bargain 

Book Sale is back on tomorrow 

and Saturday following two 

COVID-19-enforced delays. 

The Big Bargain Book Sale 

will be held at Pioneer Stadium 

from 9am-7pm tomorrow 

and Saturday from 9am-4pm. 

The sale was initially set for 

March and then postponed 

until August because of the 

pandemic-related restrictions. 

City council head of libraries 

and information Carolyn 

Robertson said the popular 

book sale is “well overdue 

but now there are even more 

bargains on offer”. 

“We will stack up thousands 

of withdrawn library books, 

magazines and DVDs for 

the public to take home and 

enjoy,” Robertson said. 

“We have found that more 

people have returned to reading, 

with books filling an often 

empty space during lockdown. 

“People are also always looking 

for a bargain, along with a 

great read. At the Big Bargain 

Book Sale, we can offer both.” 

Sale prices start at $1 for 

books for young adults and 

children, rising to $3 for 

adults’ books and DVDs, CDs 

and talking books. A range 

of motor manuals will also be 

available. 

A selection of premium 

art, landscape and gardening 

books will cost slightly more. 

People can also pick up five 

magazines for just $1.

Your Local Views 

Addressing tree removal challenges 

From the board 

David Cartwright, chair 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board 

CHRISTCHURCH, in the past, 

has often been referred to as the 

Garden City, this being a nod to 

our beautiful gardens, trees and 

shrubs that are the pride and 

joy and method of relaxation for 

many of our city residents. 

I am very proud of this identity, 

it sets us apart from other 

New Zealand towns and cities. I 

enjoy my weekends in the garden 

and I can recall many fond childhood 

memories with my parents 

in their garden as I grew up. 

We are blessed with great 

parks across the city, a worldclass 

Botanic Gardens and places 

like Mona Vale with its gardens 

broadening the Avon River. 

Mature trees across the city add 

considerable value to this picture, 

and recently the city council has 

been consulting on its tree policy. 

For a period of 15-plus years, 

this policy has needed clarity 

and updating. Thanks to our new 

chief executive Dawn Baxendale 

this has occurred with a draft 

proposal now out for comment. 

It is an important document as 

it affects everyone. Trees bring 

significant pleasure to many people; 

children love climbing them 

and they bring cover in the heat 

of summer. 

To our native birds, they 

provide food and shelter. From 

a climate change perspective, 

trees add a huge value providing 

shade and a cooling effect plus 

help filter out carbon from the 

atmosphere. 

As a community board, we are 

regularly faced with tree removal 

challenges, with compliant of 

damage to footpaths and stormwater 

pipes. In some cases, this 

may require a resource consent 

or a medical certificate from a 

resident to remove a tree. Having 

a policy that directs a board, that 

makes it clear to residents what 

is permitted (or not), is easy to 

interrupt and is consistent across 

the city will make resolving these 

issues easier. 

In addition, the policy takes a 

proactive approach to replanting/ 

replacement programmes and 

maintenance issues combined 

with addressing tree species will 

help long-term. I will update 

readers in time on the process 

here. 

Readers might have also 

seen recent articles about the 

Bishopdale Mall “master” plan 

and plans for a development in 

this area – the community board 

wants to see a positive outcome 

for all the stakeholders here both 

short and long-term. No set ideas 

are set in stone and should you 

have an interest in this area/ 

project please get in touch. 

MAINTENANCE: Christchurch has the world-class 

Botanic Gardens and a proactive approach to 

replanting and replacement of trees.

Feedback wanted on facilities 

GROUPS KEEN to make use 

of the city’s new pools and 

recreation facilities are being 

invited to register their interest. 

The city council is encouraging 

groups to have their say at 

information sessions this month 

regarding the future use of the 

new Metro Sports Facility, Te 

Pou Toetoe: Linwood Pool, and 

the Hornby Centre. 

“We’ve had great feedback 

from people about the designs of 

our new facilities, and want to 

continue to see a diverse range of 

activities happening across our 

network of recreation and sport 

centres,” said city council head 

of recreation, sports and events 

Nigel Cox. 

“Getting an early indication 

of requirements means we can 

work together on the allocation of 

space and prepare well in advance 

of the new facilities opening. This 

is all about getting more people 

more active more often.” 

Te Pou Toetoe: Linwood 

Pool will be the first of the 

new facilities to open. The 

$22m facility is being built in 

Linwood Park on the corner of 

Linwood Ave and Smith St and is 

scheduled to open late next year. 

It will have a multi-use 

25m lane pool, a deep-water 

splash pool, a family spa pool, 

learn-to-swim pool, and a pool 

for toddlers and water deck. 

Community meeting rooms and 

a kitchen will also be available. 

The Metro Sports Facility will 

be the next to open, in 2022. It 

is being built on the corner of 

Moorhouse Ave and Antigua 

St. 

It will have a 10-lane 50m 

competition pool with spectator 

seating, a diving pool, leisure 

pools, five hydro slides, 

nine multipurpose indoor 

courts, group fitness rooms, a

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

Ray White Papanui & Papanui Rotary Annual Family Halloween 

Event to run this year 

Ray White Papanui & Papanui Rotary 

are excited to be co-hosting the annual 

kids Halloween Event at St James Park 

on Friday 30 October at 4.30pm. 

This Halloween event is a safe 

alternative to door knocking and last 

year the feedback from the hundreds 

of families who attended was fantastic. 

The children’s costumes were varied 

and fun and their participation in the 

Halloween characters “Scavenger 

Hunt” was outstanding. 

Registration of attendance is required 

and you can do this via the Ray White 

Papanui Facebook page. It is a free 

event and for children aged 12 years 

and under. All participants will have 

a fun “scavenger hunt” challenge to 

complete around the park and then 

they will receive a ‘goodie bag’ filled by 

event sponsors with some sweet treats. 

The event runs from 4.30pm - 5.30pm. 

“This is our second year hosting this 

Halloween event and while Covid level 

changes were earlier casting doubt 

over our ability to run this, we are 

delighted our current level 1 status 

means we can push ahead. We are 

lucky to be part of such a fantastic 

community and we are certainly 

looking forward to hosting this great 

event again!” 

For more information please visit Ray 

White Papanui’s Facebook Page or you

Ray White Launches A Landlord Academy 

Tracy Thomson

022 509 2755 

Over the past few months, I have been 

talking about some of the anomalies 

which are cropping up with all of the 

new legislation we are dealing with in 

property management, and I don’t think 

this will stop anytime soon. 

In my 15 years working within the 

industry, I am finding the latest 

legislation which is due to take effect 

in February next year is the most 

complicated to date. And couple this 

with the 28 infringement penalties that 

could be incurred if landlords get it 

wrong, it has never been so important 

to be on top of the legislation. 

But don’t panic, help is on the way! 

That’s right, we understand that 

not only do these constant changes 

need to be implemented, but even 

more importantly they need to be 

understood – and that’s where we can 

help out. 

I am excited to announce that this year 

Ray White will be hosting a Landlord 

Academy, and we would love all 

investment property owners who own 

rentals in New Zealand to join us. 

While we normally host these events in 

our offices throughout the country, this 

year we are making it even easier for 

landlords, by using an online platform 

to stream this information to you in 

the comfort of your own home. (And of 

course, it is in a COVID proof format!!) 

The Academy will run each Thursday in 

November, commencing on the 5th at 

7pm. Each week our head of Property 

Management Zac Snelling will have 

a guest covering a range of property 

management topics from current 

legislation, to upcoming legislation, and 

even delving into the financial side of 

property investment. Again, this will be 

live-streamed so you will even be able to 

ask the experts questions on the night! 

The sessions will also be recorded, so 

if you are unable to watch them live, 

you can just watch when it works best 

for you. 

If you are interested in finding out more 

please contact me, or you can jump on
