THE RED brick school 

buildings that housed the first 

Oaklands Te Kura o Ōwaka 

pupils have been totally 

modernised and current pupils 

have moved in for term 4. 

The modernisation of the two 

1960s-era brick blocks is one 

of the final parts of the multimillion 

dollar Ministry of Education-funded 

redevelopment. 

Redevelopment of the school 

began in 2018 and is scheduled 

to finish at the end of 2020. 

Principal Margaret Trotter 

said it was fantastic the school 

was able to retain some of its 

history in the form of the original 

Canterbury brick blocks. 

“It’s great to see students in 

the modernised blocks that 

have already housed at least 

two generations of past pupils. 

Many parents will have learnt 

in these blocks,” she said.

Concept 

designs 

for Hornby 

centre 

get final 

sign-off 

THE CITY council has approved 

the concept designs for the new 

Hornby centre set to be built on 

the east side of Kyle Park. 

The council is investing $35.7 

million into the multi-use centre 

to meet the community and 

recreational needs of the growing 

population living in the southwest 

of Christchurch. 

“The new Hornby centre will be 

an important asset for the community 

and will help plug a gap in 

our network of community and 

recreation facilities across the city,” 

said Mayor Lianne Dalziel. 

“The Hornby community have 

been pushing for many years for 

this type of facility and I am delighted 

that we are a step closer to 

being able to give it to them. 

“The approval of the concept 

designs today means that we are 

on track to get construction under 

way next year.” 

Architectural firm Warren and 

Mahoney developed the concept 

designs for the 4000 sq m centre 

following discussions with the 

community.

Support needed to repair historic cottage 

• By Chris Barclay 

TIPTREE COTTAGE is a rare 

colonial cob farmhouse dealing 

with a familiar predicament, as 

the Yaldhurst museum faces an 

uncertain future for the third 

time since its construction 

around 1862. 

One of the oldest surviving 

buildings in Canterbury, the 

category one heritage listed cottage 

needs $155,000 to complete 

earthquake-related repairs 

almost a decade after Tiptree 

sustained structural damage. 

Most of the upgrade has been 

completed through support 

from the city council, Heritage 

New Zealand and private benefactors. 

But finance is still required to 

mend several major cracks in the 

cob before Tiptree’s antiquated 

architecture can be accessed by 

the public for the first time since 

2010. 

Tiptree Cottage trustee Kate 

McLeod said Heritage New Zealand 

will stump up 50 per cent of 

the amount providing trustees 

can source the remainder so cob 

specialist Mike Jackson can complete 

work on walls made from a 

mixture of straw, clay and water. 

McLeod thought the use of 

cob was possibly dictated by the 

lack of timber on the Canterbury

Plains; the cottage originally 

had a thatched roof before it was 

replaced by corrugated iron in 

1900. 

She said the funding drive was 

not the first time Tiptree has 

been the focal point of adversity 

since it was built by English 

farmer William Savill.

Savill died seven years after 

the cottage was built in a style 

reminiscent of his native Essex - 

Tiptree is a village in the county 

– leaving widow Eliza Jane to

fight for ownership. 

After a four-year saga she was 

allowed to purchase the property 

for £STG330. 

“If it hadn’t been for that, the 

cottage wouldn’t be there now,” 

McLeod said. 

Then, during the 1930s, Tiptree 

was used as a shearing shed,

leading to significant wear and 

tear when sheep rubbed against 

the cob. 

The Gregg family – three are 

also members of the trust – 

bought the dilapidated cottage 

in 1963, rescuing it from ruin 

and gradually converting it to a 

museum, which opened to the 

public in 1979. 

Many of Savill’s possessions 

were on display. 

McLeod, a descendant of 

the couple, remembers visiting 

Tiptree as a teenager, and the 

carriage clock still rang a bell. 

“That came over from 

England and in the lounge room 

wall there’s a niche that’s been 

cut into the cob which is exactly 

the right size for the clock,” she 

said. 

McLeod joined the trust 

in 2016 and hopes to one day 

expand the attraction once the 

lease on an adjacent quarry 

expires and the land is reconstituted. 

“The surrounding farm had 

fish ponds and orchards, that’s 

now a quarry and the long-term 

plan is to get hold of a bit of 

that and do a larger agricultural 

museum.”

Student’s photo gets recognition 

• By Bea Gooding 

CLAUDIA O’Shannessey’s 

passion for protecting the 

environment has resulted in the 

year 13 student taking out one of 

the top spots at an international 

competition. 

The Rangi Ruru Girls’ School 

student’s photo, Sustainable 

Surfer Seeks Waste at Sumner, 

came second out of nearly 200 

entries at the annual young 

reporters for the environment 

global competition. 

The competition gives young 

people a platform to research environmental 

issues and promote 

solutions through investigative 

reporting, photography and 

video journalism. 

Said Claudia: “When I first 

found out I was pretty ecstatic. 

It felt like a huge privilege to 

represent New Zealand and to 

get such an outstanding result 

world wide to me is one of my 

greatest achievements.” 

“I entered because I wanted a 

way to make a difference whilst 

pursuing my passion and using 

my strengths.” 

Claudia was one of three New 

Zealand students who won 

awards in the litter less campaign 

category, with entries related to 

the topic of litter and waste. 

Her photo, which was placed 

RECOGNITION: Rangi Ruru Girls’ School student Claudia O’Shannessey’s (inset) photo highlighting sustainability came 

second at a global environmental competition. 

PHOTO: CLAUDIA O’SHANNESSEY 

in the photography 15-18 years 

category, features her younger 

sister, Sienna, collecting waste on 

Sumner beach. 

The “huge” sunrise 

represented the start of a new 

day and symbolised the start of 

something new, or change. 

“You can clearly see her 

silhouette where she is eagerly 

dragging the trash bin in order 

to make a change. Small acts 

matter,’’ she said. 

“She’s a surfer from Sumner 

who is protecting what she cares 

about and ultimately fixing 

something she didn’t cause.” 

Sustainability was something 

the student held close to her heart 

as it determined the future of her 

generation and beyond. 

“I am proud of my Maori 

heritage and I wanted this photo 

to capture the powerful essence 

of our land and water as taonga 

(treasures), and our spiritual 

connection to our land, Papatuanuku,” 

she said.



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. 

HAVE YOUR SAY: Do

store should open on 

Main North Rd? Email

starmedia.kiwi 

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.

MODERN: Concept plans of how the new Hornby centre is 

expected to look. 

PHOTOS: NEWSLINE 

Facility expected to open in late 2022 

• From page 1 

The new centre will have a 

range of community and recreational 

spaces, including a library, 

a lane pool, a learn-to-swim pool, 

a toddlers’ wet play area, a spa 

pool and a customer services 

zone. 

There is also an expresso 

bar, a creative activities room, 

and multipurpose rooms that 

community groups can use for 

meetings. 

A hydrotherapy pool could 

be included in the facility at a 

later date. It is not currently in 

the scope of the project, but the 

Greater Hornby Residents Association 

and Hornby Rotary 

are co-ordinating a community 

fundraising effort so one can be 

added. 

With the concept design for the 

centre now approved, work can 

begin on the detailed design. The 

procurement plan will go to the 

council’s finance and performance 

committee on November 5 for 

final approval. 

Construction is due to start by 

mid-2021. It is anticipated the 

centre will open in late 2022. 

Final work will 

take place 

during term 4 

• From page 1 

Trotter said she and her staff 

appreciated the patience of the 

school community during the 

redevelopment. 

“We are now getting to enjoy 

our new or completely modernised 

facilities. This includes a new administration 

block, two completely 

new learning spaces, and refurbishment 

of the original blocks.’’ 

During term 4 the final stage of 

the ministry-funded redevelopment 

will happen, Trotter said. 

This involved refurbishment of 

the hall, the development of a new 

basketball court, and creation of a 

central courtyard where the whole 

school can gather outdoors. 

“The ministry has given us 

some funds for landscaping, and 

to complement this our board of 

trustees is developing a schoolwide 

landscaping plan that will 

incorporate korokio, the native 

plant identified by Te Taumutu 

Rūnanga as part of our ongoing 

partnership with them as significant 

for our school and local 

area,” said Trotter. 

“Recognising the importance of 

our swimming pool, the board has 

replaced the paving around it.” 

Once complete, the 

redevelopment will be celebrated 

in an official opening in 2021.

half way 

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. 

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 seven 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.

Seaman’s rare artworks on display online 

ARTWORKS by avid adventurer 

and Antarctic explorer Frank 

Worsley sail into view on the 

Akaroa Museum website this 

month to mark the start of the 

summer season on the ice. 

In conjunction with 

Christchurch’s Days of Ice 

celebration, the new exhibition 

– titled This Book Belongs to 

Commander Frank Worsley– 

reveals the prized pencil drawings 

of the Akaroa-born seaman, 

navigator and Endurance hero. 

Akaroa Museum director Lynda 

Wallace believes it is important 

to share the special sketches – 

revealing Worsley’s lifelong love 

of the sea – with a wider audience 

online. 

“Our collection of rare Worsley 

drawings is both engaging and revealing, 

taking us back to the days 

when ships propelled by wind and 

canvas carried men on voyages 

around the world,” Wallace said. 

Worsley – the man responsible 

for navigating tortuous seas to 

save the members of Ernest Shackleton’s 

1914-17 imperial transantarctic 

expedition – shares 

images from his 

sailing life. 

“It’s wonderful to finally be able 

to put these largely hidden treasures 

on display online,” Wallace 

said. 

“Worsley ranks among our 

bravest adventurers. However, few 

Frank Worsley 

Photo donated by Patrick 

Bamford 

know about his creative side. 

“His sketches capture the vanished 

beauty of ships at sea, under 

full sail, flying across the waves.” 

The nautical drawings feature 

in a small sketchbook bearing 

a bookplate stating: “This Book 

Belongs to Commander F. A. 

Worsley.” 

Worsley, who was born in 

1872 and died in 1943, steered a 

lifeboat, the James Caird, across 

1500km of wild sub-Antarctic 

sea in 1916 to seek help after the 

Endurance was crushed by pack 

ice in October 1915, stranding its 

crew. 

Apart from his thirst for 

adventure, Worsley also had a 

lifelong admiration for clippers, 

the three-mast merchant ships 

designed for speed in the 19th 

century. 

“Not even the meanest man 

that ever trod a plank could be 

indifferent to the beauty of a 

clipper ship under sail,” he 

wrote. 

Wallace describes Worsley as “a 

remarkable man”. 

“Even after his Antarctic adventures, 

he continued to push the 

boundaries, twice earning 

the Distinguished Service Order 

for bravery in World War 1, sinking 

German submarines and later 

taking on a treasure hunt to Cocos 

Island,” she said. 

“His artwork reveals his passion 

for the sea and sailing, whether 

as a death-defying navigator and 

brilliant tactician or extraordinary 

adventurer. 

Akaroa Museum in Rue Lavaud 

also hosts a permanent exhibition, 

titled Salute to Adventure, 

detailing Worsley’s exploits. 

The special online exhibition, 

This Book Belongs to Commander 

Frank Worsley, is part of this 

month’s 10-day Days of Ice event, 

which runs from Thursday, 

October 8, until Sunday, October 

18. 

It celebrates the region’s unique 

connection with Antarctica 

through a range of events and 

activities.

CALLS HAVE been made to 

stop rates increases in response 

to the Covid-19 crisis. 

City councillors James Gough, 

Sam MacDonald, Catherine 

Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown 

and James Daniels have sent a 

letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel 

asking her to lead a conversation 

as to how a zero per cent rates 

increase could be achieved this 

year. 

The city council is proposing 

an average rates increase of 4.65 

per cent across all ratepayers in 

this year’s Draft Annual Plan 

which is currently under public 

consultation until April 5 and 

will be finalised before July 1. 

The 2018-2028 Long Term 

Plan also predicts a 50 per cent 

rates increase over 10 years. 

Said Cr MacDonald: “In 

the current environment it’s 

clear business as usual is not 

appropriate and the council 

needs to look at how we enable
