$12.5m for estuary works<br />
APPROVED: $12.5m has been approved for works to improve estuaries in the city’s east. Inset: Lianne Dalziel.<br />

A $12.5 MILLION package of<br />
works to address erosion and<br />
flood risk in Southshore and<br />
South New Brighton has been<br />
approved by the city council.<br />
“The works we have approved<br />
should resolve the earthquake<br />
legacy issues that have left<br />
parts of Southshore and South<br />
New Brighton more prone to<br />
flooding and coastal erosion,’’<br />
said Mayor Lianne Dalziel.<br />
“Residents in these suburbs<br />
have been calling for action to<br />
resolve these issues and I am<br />
pleased that we can now give<br />
them certainty about the way<br />
forward.<br />
“I want to thank residents<br />
for the way they have worked<br />
with us to come up with<br />
solutions.’’<br />

Residents<br />
to be<br />
asked for<br />
feedback<br />
on council<br />
facilities<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
IS THE city council meeting<br />
your needs when it comes to its<br />
services and facilities?<br />
That’s what the bosses at the<br />
city council want to know as they<br />
embark on their annual residents’<br />
survey.<br />
Each year the city council<br />
surveys residents across the city to<br />
understand how satisfied they are<br />
with services covering its parks,<br />
libraries and service centres.<br />
New Brighton Residents’<br />
Association spokesman Brian<br />
Donovan said residents were<br />
pleased to see progress in the east,<br />
such as the new beach-side hot<br />
pools, surf club, plans to address<br />
flood-risk issues along the estuary<br />
and fixing some deteriorating<br />
roads.<br />
Although issues were being<br />
highlighted, he believed the<br />
“growing disconnect” between<br />
the city council and residents<br />
“desperately” needed to be addressed<br />
and improved.<br />

Barber a hero for family violence work<br />
• By Bea Gooding<br />
HAIR ISN’T the only thing Matt<br />
Brown cuts.<br />
The My Fathers Barbers<br />
founder has made it his mission<br />
over the last decade to help cut<br />
toxic masculinity out of the lives<br />
of men who sit in his chairs.<br />
Over time the shop has offered<br />
a safe haven for men to heal,<br />
connect and open up about the<br />
issues affecting them instead of<br />
bottling it up inside.<br />
Brown discovered the role<br />
barbershops played in helping<br />
men share their pain and started<br />
the She Is Not Your Rehab movement,<br />
which encourages them<br />
to acknowledge experiences<br />
of childhood abuse instead of<br />
taking it out on their wives and<br />
girlfriends.<br />
He has now been named as a<br />
winner of the Westfield Local<br />
Heroes awards due to his commitment<br />
to ending the cycle of<br />
domestic and family violence.<br />
The awards recognised role<br />
models across the country and<br />
the positive impact their work<br />
had within their communities.<br />
As a survivor of family<br />
violence and child sexual abuse<br />
himself, he understood the importance<br />
of having someone to<br />
confide in.<br />
Said Brown: “The movement<br />

is simply an invitation for men<br />
to acknowledge their own<br />
childhood trauma, and to take<br />
responsibility for their healing<br />
instead of transmitting it on<br />
those around them.”<br />
As voted by the community,<br />
Brown was awarded a $10,000<br />
grant, which he said would be<br />
used to run more local group<br />
therapy sessions for men.<br />
The idea for She Is Not Your<br />
Rehab started in a garden shed<br />
and has gone on to receive international<br />
recognition.<br />
News of his talent for delivering<br />
fresh cuts quickly grew over<br />
social media, along with the<br />
number of men who were visiting<br />
barbers for more than just a<br />
haircut.<br />
Wanting to raise awareness<br />
even further, Brown became an<br />
ambassador for the Ministry of<br />
Social Development’s ‘It’s not<br />
OK’ campaign in 2018 – an initiative<br />
which aims to change how<br />
New Zealanders think and act<br />
towards family violence.<br />
In collaboration with family<br />
violence centre Aviva Families,<br />
he also hosts a men’s antiviolence<br />
support group from his<br />
barbershop.<br />
Since then he has delivered a<br />
TEDx talk in 20<strong>19</strong>, where he and<br />
his wife, Sarah, launched the<br />
concept of the movement and<br />
HIKING BOOTS<br />
& SHOES<br />
has facilitated a barber program<br />
at youth justice facility Te Puna<br />
Wai O Tuhinapo at Christchurch<br />
Men’s Prison.<br />
The number of men seeking<br />
help has increased since the<br />
movement took off on social<br />
media.<br />
“Our communities are crying<br />
out for help, support and tools<br />
to see these cycles of abuse<br />
and trauma come to an<br />
end,” said Brown.<br />
As a barber he has had<br />
a list of impressive clients<br />
including All Blacks to<br />
American hip hop icons,<br />
Wu-Tang Clan.<br />
For men, women<br />
and children<br />
From<br />
$79.95<br />
to $250<br />
This year he continues to work<br />
alongside the Department of<br />
Corrections as a patron.<br />
STIGMA: My<br />
Fathers Barber<br />
founder Matt<br />
Brown has been<br />
recognised at the<br />
Westfield Local<br />
Heroes awards<br />
for his bid to<br />
end the cycle of<br />
abuse and family<br />
violence. <br />
Solutions<br />
From page 1<br />
The work approved by the city<br />
council includes:<br />
• Replacing or covering the<br />
structures with rocks along the<br />
estuary edge in Southshore to<br />
reduce the erosion risk, and<br />
introducing a cobble beach<br />
with an offshore breakwater<br />
to encourage the saltmarsh to<br />
form a natural form of erosion<br />
protection.<br />
• Building a new bund in<br />
Southshore to reduce the flood<br />
risk.<br />
• Restoring the estuary edge<br />
in South New Brighton with a<br />
cobble beach.<br />
• Constructing a new bund<br />
between the jetty near Beatty<br />
St and the southern end of the<br />
campground in Halsey St.<br />
The city council has already<br />
made improvements to the<br />
northern part of the estuary<br />
walkway and construction is<br />
complete on the southern section<br />
of a bund in South New<br />
Brighton, between Bridge St and<br />
South New Brighton School.<br />
Work on the northern section<br />
of the bund will be completed in<br />
2021 following the bird-nesting<br />
season.<br />
This bund, alongside the<br />
additional bunds approved, will<br />
together reduce flood risk along<br />
the estuary edge.<br />

Preparing young for life’s adversities<br />
Myriad groups help<br />
keep our community<br />
moving. Reporter Bea<br />
Gooding speaks to<br />
Life Education Trust<br />
Canterbury community<br />
engagement manager<br />
Andy Gray about why<br />
the trust has been an<br />
iconic fixture in schools<br />
for the past 30 years<br />
and why he’s involved<br />
Could you tell me a bit<br />
about what the Life Education<br />
Trust does, and how it came<br />
to be what it is today in<br />
Canterbury?<br />
The Life Education Trust<br />
started over 30 years ago, which<br />
started in Canterbury. There’s<br />
now 32 regional trusts across<br />
the country, and one national<br />
branch. The vision is to inspire<br />
tamariki and rangatahi to make<br />
positive choices and to give them<br />
the power to do that. The trust<br />
addresses challenges including<br />
obesity, substance use, mental<br />
health and well-being and<br />
bullying.<br />
We operate in three mobile<br />
classrooms in Canterbury,<br />
they’re like big container shells<br />
that have been turned into<br />

classrooms and are moved<br />
around different schools –<br />
whether it was as far as Omihi in<br />
North Canterbury, right down<br />
to Rakaia. Whether schools have<br />
35 students or 500 students, we<br />
end up making our way there no<br />
matter where they are.<br />
What issues is the trust<br />
currently facing in the wake of<br />
Covid-<strong>19</strong>?<br />
Quite a few in all fairness –<br />
when Covid-<strong>19</strong> hit during the<br />
first lockdown, even though we<br />
were still continuing to support<br />
the teachers and tamariki during<br />
lockdown, we didn’t get any<br />
school fees come in, and the<br />
funders that we usually used<br />
were all closed down.<br />
It’s been tough, but we<br />
managed to get through it and<br />
we’re in a better position now.<br />
We reached out to a lot of people<br />
that have done quite<br />
well throughout Covid-<strong>19</strong>,<br />
like supermarkets, and to the<br />
Rata Foundation and Lottery<br />
Grants Board who have helped<br />
us out.<br />
With Covid-<strong>19</strong> it’s a doubleedged<br />
sword. It’s great that<br />
we’re busier now and we’re<br />
looking to expand to a fourth<br />
classroom because of it. But the<br />
double-edged side of that sword<br />
is obviously with increased<br />
demand it means that more<br />
people are affected, there are<br />
higher anxiety levels.<br />
We’ve learned a lot about<br />
mental health from the<br />
earthquakes in the past 10 years<br />
and also the mosque attacks<br />
where kids have been affected.<br />
Things like a lack of employment<br />
that comes from it just filters<br />
through to the kids, so we expect<br />
to see increased demand over the<br />
next few months.<br />
The trust has been iconic in<br />
Canterbury schools for the past<br />
30 years. What do you attribute<br />
towards its success?<br />
Obviously, the most<br />
memorable thing about Life<br />
Education is Harold the Giraffe.<br />
But the reason why I think we’re<br />
so iconic is because we tend to<br />
react to the issues currently at<br />
hand.<br />

Thursday <strong>November</strong> <strong>19</strong> <strong>2020</strong> 5<br />
and challenges<br />
We don’t get any government<br />
or Ministry of Education funding,<br />
so we aren’t led by their<br />
agenda, and it’s why we’re the<br />
number one health education<br />
provider. We don’t want to be led<br />
by what they want, which is why<br />
we work with teachers to adapt<br />
[the lesson]. I think that’s what<br />
makes us so successful.<br />
Why did you decide to join<br />
the trust?<br />
I’ve got a wee eight-year-old<br />
boy and things are a little bit different<br />
now than back in my day;<br />
kids have got different challenges<br />
now, so I just wanted to make<br />
sure I was getting in touch with<br />
what was going on. Kids seem to<br />
be a lot more involved and more<br />
aware of what’s happening around<br />
them because of social media and<br />
access to the internet. That was<br />
my excuse to get involved and<br />
understand what’s happening in<br />
my own child’s head.<br />
What are the rewarding parts<br />
of your job?<br />
The kids – when Harold comes<br />
on board, the kids wander in and<br />
when they see him, they all get<br />
pretty excited to hear what he<br />
has to say. It’s the kids’ reactions<br />
which I find the most rewarding.<br />
Like most jobs, it’s not always<br />
fun and games. What can be<br />
challenging about your role?<br />
I think seeing the statistics<br />
that are pretty grim, like when I<br />
hear about the teen suicide rates<br />
or how many kids are stressed.<br />
About 35 per cent of kids are<br />
stressed at least once a week.<br />
It’s like, bloody hell, these kids<br />
are eight or nine-years-old, they<br />
shouldn’t be stressed, they should<br />
be watching Pokémon on TV or<br />
something.<br />
Tell me a bit about where life<br />
began for you – where did you<br />
grow up? How about family?<br />
I was born in Salford, United<br />
Kingdom. When I was about<br />
13-years-old my folks decided to<br />
ship us all over, with my brothers<br />
and sister, and start life<br />
afresh over here. I ended up<br />
going to school down the road at<br />
Christchurch Boys’ High School,<br />
and eventually at the University<br />
of Canterbury.<br />
After travelling overseas for a<br />
while, I came back and became<br />
the director at Specsavers (Papanui)<br />
after opening up a franchise<br />
here. After selling that I was<br />
lucky that I had a bit more free to<br />
pick and choose the jobs I wanted<br />
to do, and that’s when the Life<br />
Education Trust job came up.<br />
ICON: The Life Education Trust has been visiting Canterbury<br />
schools for more than 30 years.<br />
My two brothers live in Sunshine<br />
Coast and Gold Coast in<br />
Australia. My sister is here in<br />
Christchurch so she’s not very<br />
far from me, and my parents<br />
are retired now and live in the<br />
Hurunui District.<br />
Do you remember much from<br />
life back in England?<br />
I remember quite a lot of it. It’s<br />
quite a rough spot where we were,<br />
a lot of cars were being nicked<br />
every night and there were a lot<br />
of fights, you could just watch it<br />
from your window - that’s what it<br />
was all to me.<br />
One of my favourite parts<br />
about my home town is the<br />
football, everyone enjoyed a bit<br />
of soccer. You could play it in<br />
the streets, you’d just jump over<br />
the back fence after school and<br />
go play with your friends in the<br />
streets.<br />
Aside from your work, what<br />
do you like to do in your spare<br />
time?<br />
I enjoy any sport, especially<br />
soccer being English and all.<br />
I’ve always the idea of making<br />
something myself so I make short<br />
films on the side.<br />
I make any type of short film,<br />
it’s just a matter of writing a<br />
script and trying to gain funding<br />
to do it.<br />
I’ve always loved movies, the<br />
idea for me growing up was to<br />
become either a football player, a<br />
fireman or a moviemaker.<br />

Survey to gauge areas<br />
of improvement<br />
• From page 1<br />
“I think in some areas they are<br />
[meeting needs], a bit of work<br />
is finally being done to some<br />
of those roads in the eastern<br />
suburbs, and the hot pools are<br />
attracting a hell of a lot of people<br />
outside of New Brighton.<br />
“We’re really confident that<br />
we’ve turned a corner. [New<br />
Brighton] is becoming a recreational<br />
playground.<br />
“But there’s a disconnect between<br />
residents and the council,<br />
for instance, residents seem to<br />
have no way to express their concerns<br />
to the council.”<br />
The city council needed to<br />
prioritise fixing the “state” of<br />
Pages and New Brighton Rds, the<br />
Pages Rd bridge, taking action on<br />
New Brighton Mall, and addressing<br />
general untidiness as more<br />
visitors and businesses flocked to<br />
the area.<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Dawn Baxendale said the survey<br />
was one of the tools used to assess<br />
where they were performing well,<br />
and where improvements needed<br />
to be made and prioritised.<br />
“We want to find out what is<br />
working well for residents and<br />
what’s not working well because<br />
our focus, as an organisation, is<br />
on meeting the needs of our<br />
HAVE YOUR SAY: Is the<br />
city council meeting your<br />
needs when it comes to<br />
its services and facilities?<br />

gooding@starmedia.kiwi<br />
residents,” she said.<br />
“The findings of this year’s<br />
survey programme will feed into<br />
the development of our 2021-31<br />
Long Term Plan, so I would really<br />
encourage people to share their<br />
views if they are approached by<br />
staff at a council location or if<br />
they receive an email or letter<br />
from us.”<br />
This year’s survey included specific<br />
questions that will help the<br />
city council decide what it should<br />
prioritise in the LTP.<br />
The LTP is the document that<br />
councils are legally required to<br />
produce every three years. It sets<br />
out what the city council will do<br />
over the next 10 years and how it<br />
will pay for it.<br />
“The Covid-<strong>19</strong> pandemic has<br />
prompted many people, businesses<br />
and organisations to rethink<br />
their plans and priorities and to<br />
tighten their belts. We are having<br />
to do that too,” said Baxendale.<br />
The findings of the survey<br />
programme will be made public<br />
next year.<br />
Community to be involved<br />
in red zone decisions<br />
A NEW co-governance entity<br />
is being investigated for the<br />
former residential red zone to<br />
ensure mana whenua and the<br />
community are involved in<br />
deciding its future.<br />
Land Information New Zealand<br />
currently owns most of the<br />
residential red zone on behalf of<br />
the Crown.<br />
However, it has started the<br />
process of transferring parcels of<br />
land in the Ōtākaro Avon River<br />
Corridor to city council ownership.<br />
That process is expected to<br />
take up to two years to complete.<br />
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said this<br />
offered a chance to create a lasting<br />
legacy for the city, therefore<br />
it was important to partner with<br />
iwi and the community on decisions<br />
regarding its long-term use.<br />
“Under the Global Settlement<br />
with the Crown, ownership of<br />
the former red zone is being<br />
transferred to Christchurch City<br />
Council, but that does not mean<br />
we intend to make decisions on<br />
the future of the land unilaterally,”<br />
she said.<br />
“As we take over ownership of<br />
the land and assume the decision-making<br />
powers, we want to<br />
take a co-governance approach.<br />
We want our partnership with<br />
Ngāi Tūāhuriri and the wider<br />
community to be at the centre of<br />
the decision-making process.<br />
Dalziel said the city council<br />
wanted to make the most of<br />
the opportunities presented by<br />
the regeneration of these areas<br />
and by honouring the late Evan<br />
Smith.<br />
“We want to honour the vision<br />
for the Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor<br />
that was championed by<br />
the late Evan Smith. To do that<br />
we need to work side-by-side<br />
with our communities, iwi, and<br />
the private sector.”<br />
Te Tira Kāhikuhiku is the<br />
transitional governance agency<br />
that has been making recommendations<br />
on transitional<br />
projects in the red zone.<br />
The group is made up of an<br />
independent chair, Chrissie<br />
PARTNERSHIP:<br />
There’s a chance<br />
to convert the<br />
red zone into a<br />
lasting legacy for<br />
the city.<br />
Williams, five community representatives,<br />
as well as iwi and<br />
community board representatives.<br />
The city council also adopted<br />
a new policy that outlines how it<br />
intends to deal with third-party<br />
proposals for use of red zone<br />
land that it owns.<br />
Under the policy, the city<br />
council’s head of parks will have<br />
delegated authority to grant<br />
leases to those seeking to use the<br />
land for less than 10 years for<br />
certain projects, such as temporary<br />
gardens.<br />
Requests for long-term leases<br />
(10 years or more), or for more<br />
significant projects, such as<br />
commercial ventures, will<br />
require consultation with the<br />
public and a decision by the full<br />
city council.

Program to help children with dyslexia<br />
A NEW computer programme<br />
at Linwood College has been<br />
launched to better support<br />
students with dyslexia towards<br />
their education.<br />
STEPSWEB is a specialised<br />
literacy program produced by<br />
The Learning Staircase designed<br />
to help students with dyslexia, or<br />
whose reading and writing are<br />
below expected levels.<br />
To help fund the technology<br />
required, The Ferrymead and<br />
Linwood-Woolston Rotary<br />
clubs donated $1100 towards the<br />
cause.<br />
Linwood College pupil Troy<br />
Thomson said he loves working<br />
with STEPSWEB, and his<br />
teachers report “tremendous<br />
development” in his schoolwork<br />
and confidence.<br />
“It’s cool and I use it for my<br />
homework,” said the year 8<br />
pupil.<br />
“You get to learn new stuff and<br />
all the activities are fun.”<br />
Tracey Jongens, the school’s<br />
special needs co-ordinator, said<br />
there were “excellent” results<br />
from those using the program<br />
and said the aim is to make it<br />
available to all year 7 and year 8<br />
students as funding allows.<br />
The STEPSWEB software<br />
guides learners through<br />
graduated levels, each of which<br />
CONFIDENCE: Linwood College special needs co-ordinator Tracey Jongens helps year 8<br />
pupil Troy Thomson navigate a new computer programme designed to support children<br />
with dyslexia. <br />
involves about 10 actions, such as<br />
word recognition, activities with<br />
words, phonemic awareness,<br />
spelling, sentence construction,<br />
joining half-words, and vocabulary<br />
building.<br />
Students can also access the<br />
activity-based program from<br />
home or at school.<br />
The programme is built on<br />
the various stages of learning.<br />
All work is scored and, as they<br />
complete each stage, students<br />
earn a gold, silver or bronze<br />
classification, and are awarded<br />
certificates.<br />
The two Rotary clubs have<br />
also gifted $1100 to help students<br />
struggling to pay for basic needs<br />
and extras.<br />
Sue Ingle, head of the school’s<br />
guidance department, said<br />
funds have already been used<br />
to supply many students with<br />
uniforms.<br />
“There was a case of a couple of<br />
brothers – quite a few boys in the<br />
family – taking turns in attending<br />
school as there was only one<br />
pair of unripped shorts between<br />
them,” she said.<br />
“A number of students have<br />
been able to access external, specialist<br />
counselling that would not<br />
otherwise have been available to<br />
them.<br />
“And twice, a student has come<br />
with notes from home asking for<br />
us to supply lunch as they were<br />
‘a bit short that week.’ With this<br />
extra funding, that was easy to<br />
address.”<br />
Ingle said the funds also<br />
allowed quite a few students<br />
to attend a Community<br />
Development Network camp and<br />
some money is being set aside to<br />
help with a year 8 school camp<br />
coming up in the near future.

CALLS HAVE been made to<br />
stop rates increases in response<br />
to the Covid-<strong>19</strong> crisis.<br />
City councillors James Gough,<br />
Sam MacDonald, Catherine<br />
Chu, Phil Mauger, Aaron Keown<br />
and James Daniels have sent a<br />
letter to Mayor Lianne Dalziel<br />
asking her to lead a conversation<br />
as to how a zero per cent rates<br />
increase could be achieved this<br />
year.<br />
The city council is proposing<br />
an average rates increase of 4.65<br />
per cent across all ratepayers in<br />
this year’s Draft Annual Plan<br />
which is currently under public<br />
consultation until April 5 and<br />
will be finalised before July 1.<br />
The 2018-2028 Long Term<br />
Plan also predicts a 50 per cent<br />
rates increase over 10 years.<br />
Said Cr MacDonald: “In<br />
the current environment it’s<br />
clear business as usual is not<br />

the economic confidence of our<br />
city.”<br />

on the impacts on all aspects of development agency, ChristchurchNZ,<br />
the Canterbury Employers’<br />
Chamber of Commerce<br />
and other key players so we are<br />
best prepared for the economic<br />
challenges that lie ahead.”<br />
City council chief executive<br />
