STUDENTS FROM Shirley 

Intermediate School have seen 

their hard work pay off with 

their decorated bus shelter 

on North Pde being unveiled 

recently. 

The artwork was part of the 

‘Art in the Hood’ project, which 

is a collaboration between 

advertising company oOh! 

NZ, the city council and local 

schools. 

The project saw 28 primary 

and intermediate schools 

from Auckland, Hamilton, 

Rotorua, Napier, Wellington 

and Christchurch create pieces 

of art reflecting something 

intriguing, fun or unique 

about the neighbourhood they 

live in. 

Shirley Intermediate School 

students came up with the 

theme of ‘movement’ and 

created some stunning 

artworks for their community 

to enjoy. 

Twenty eight schools 

nationwide will follow, with 

similar artwork on their local 

bus shelters. 

Controversial 

Guild St 

social 

housing 

complex 

opens 

next week 

• By Bea Gooding 

A NEW controversial social 

housing development on Guild 

St officially opens next week after 

months of concerns raised by 

nearby residents. 

The developments caused a stir 

in Richmond due to concerns the 

project did not comply with the 

city council’s special character 

area and earthworks rules. 

However, earlier this year, the 

Christchurch Methodist Mission 

and its developers told Pegasus 

Post that requirements for both 

were met. 

Owned by CMM, the housing 

will provide 15 families on the 

Ministry of Social Development’s 

housing register the security of a 

long-term lease and an affordable 

home. 

Mike Williams has lived on 

Guild St for 22 years and has had 

a front-row seat watching the 

developments unfold from across 

the street.

Picnic area plan for river corridor 

AN AREA of the Ōtākaro Avon 

River corridor near Gayhurst Rd 

looks set to be transformed into a 

new community picnic area. 

City council’s finance and performance 

committee will decide 

next week whether to approve 

a refined design for a riverside 

landing in Dallington and proceed 

with its procurement and 

construction. 

After considering 

community 

feedback 

on the initial 

landing design 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

in June, city 

council staff 

have advanced 

the concept 

of “a picnic in the forest” and 

worked alongside Mahaanui Kurataiao 

and Matapopere to ensure 

the design reflects mana whenua 

values and narratives. 

City council head of parks 

Andrew Rutledge says that after 

receiving feedback from the 

community, the city council has 

removed the option for car parking 

at Rupert Pl, improved access 

to the river, improved cycling 

infrastructure, and taken on 

board recommendations to keep 

existing substantial native trees. 

“We’ve listened to what the 

public has told us and made 

MODERN: The design for a riverside landing in Dallington. 

some key changes to the design, 

usability and amenities of the 

Dallington Landing,” Rutledge 

said. 

“This is the first of a number of 

landings that will be built along 

the Ōtākaro Avon River. Our desire 

is for them to become muchloved 

areas where the community 

can connect with others and with 

the Ōtākaro Avon River corridor.” 

The Dallington Landing will 

feature signposted entrances, 

shelters, koru-shaped pathways, 

picnic areas and tables, steps 

down to the river, a water 

fountain, bike parks, and a 

wheelchair-accessible toilet 

block. 

The landing and three pedestrian 

bridges across the Ōtākaro 

Avon River are being funded by 

a $13.7 million grant from the 

Christchurch Earthquake Appeal 

Trust, as the first developments 

of the corridor’s green spine. $2.3 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

million of the grant has been set 

aside for the Dallington landing. 

The Green Spine forms the 

core of the Ōtākaro Avon River 

Regeneration Area. At 11km 

long and 345ha in size, the green 

spine extends along both sides of 

the river and will be primarily be 

ecologically restored to original 

native forest and wetlands. 

It will also contain nature 

trails, cycleways, landings and 

community spaces. 

Summer 

events for 

New Brighton 

A SUMMER programme in New 

Brighton and across the city is set 

to take you worldwide without the 

need to quarantine. 

Kite Day will return to New 

Brighton Beach on January 30 as 

part of the city council’s Summer- 

Time programme, which kicks off 

on New Year’s Eve. 

The programme includes a 

line-up of free events such as a 

theatre production, Christchurch 

Symphony Orchestra concerts 

and the kiting spectacular. 

It starts on New Year’s Eve with 

The Edge NYE20 – a free music 

concert in North Hagley Park 

headlined by Kiwi music legends 

The Black Seeds. 

In mid-January, Anthony 

Harper Summer Theatre returns 

to the Botanic Gardens with a 

production of Around the World 

in 80 Days. 

Symphony in the City is a 

new addition, with the CSO 

performing a te Reo and English 

rendition of the Peter and the 

Wolf in Victoria Square.

Tenants will move in before for Christmas 

•From page 1 

He was feeling optimistic 

about the future in spite of earlier 

concerns that the temporary 

housing would increase traffic 

congestion, removed significant 

trees, and did not physically fit in 

with the rest of the houses in the 

area. 

The site is located in a character 

area, which meant residents 

spent thousands making sure the 

exterior of their homes complied 

with the rules that came with the 

classification. 

Said Williams: “I see a need 

for it. Life hasn’t gotten easier for 

those people so they will at least 

have some dignity with a roof 

over their head. 

“In some ways, it could’ve been 

handled better – we were just 

told what was happening without 

having a say. But we have to be 

realistic too, that land’s not going 

to stay vacant forever. 

“There’s no point in getting 

upset over something you can’t 

change. It all comes down to 

management now.” 

Christchurch East MP Poto 

Williams will open the complex 

next Friday in time for tenants to 

move in before Christmas. 

It sits on the former Churchill 

Courts site, on land leased by 

Anglican Care. 

The houses were used as 

temporary accommodation 

at Linwood Park before being 

moved to the site in August. 

CMM executive director Jill 

Hawkey said the development 

provides a unique opportunity 

for families to settle and feel 

secure, perhaps for the first time 

in their lives. 

“We’re really pleased to have 

arrived at this point and look 

forward to welcoming families 

into their new homes in the 

coming days,” she said. 

An additional building will 

serve as a dedicated community 

house, from which a community 

worker will be permanently 

based. 

Demand for social housing 

in the city has increased from 

482 applicant households in 

June 2015 to 1,232 in June 2020, 

COMPLETION: Controversial social housing on 

Guild St will open next week, just in time for 

families to move in later this month. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

according to Government figures. 

This 156 per cent increase in 

homelessness over the last five 

years indicates the scale of the 

problem and the urgent need 

for warm, affordable and secure 

housing for the city. 

Consent for the development 

was granted in March by the city 

council, which heard the views of 

nearby residents in reaching this 

decision. 

The site’s characteristics 

identified it as ideal for the 

relocatable houses, and for 

providing ample play space for 

the children of residents and offstreet 

parking. 

A large area in the north-east 

corner has been reserved for 

continued use by community 

gardening groups. 

The houses are away from 

boundaries and the road.

Itty the dog was struggling to gain weight, had skin

a passion for Dog and Cat Welfare this led her to 

explore nutrition for pets, and five years ago decided 

to switch to raw feeding. 

It was a game changer for little Itty the dog! 

This ignited a passion with Julie. She soon 

completed formal training with animal nutrition 

organisations in the UK, USA and Australia, and

Housing development to benefit community 

A NEW 19-home community 

housing development in the east 

of the city has officially opened 

its doors. 

The development is the first of 

its kind on the boundary of New 

Brighton and the red zone. 

Ōtautahi Community Housing 

Trust chief executive Cate Kearney 

said the new development 

would be welcomed by people 

who love living in this unique 

part of the city, and continue 

to experience challenges in the 

aftermath of the 2010 and 2011 

earthquakes. 

“There’s a way of life here, a 

connection to the sea, the strong 

history of early Christchurch 

embedded in the east; people 

love living in this area, and 

ŌCHT is so pleased to be able to 

help some of make their homes 

here,” she said. 

The project is part of the 

agreement that the trust has 

with the city council to provide 

more community and affordable 

homes across the city. 

Some of the residents were 

returnees – people who lived in 

the pre-refurbished homes and 

wanted to come back after the 

work was completed. 

“Returning residents Guy and 

Thomas were among the first to 

see the new-look homes when 

the site was blessed this month. I 

understand they are thrilled with 

CEREMONY: (From left) – Housing Minister Megan Woods helps cut the ribbon at the 

opening of the community housing development. 

the refurbishments and will be 

moving back in the next day or 

so,” said Cate Kearney. 

Reg Stillwell Place includes 

12 relocatable homes that were 

transported from Linwood Park 

in August this year. 

They have been refurbished 

as two, three to four-bedroom 

homes. 

Meanwhile, a community 

hall already on the site was also 

turned into a three-bedroom 

home, and the six one-bedroom 

bedsits have been redeveloped as 

one-bedroom houses. 

Thirteen of these new homes 

will be supplied to the Ministry 

of Housing and Urban Development 

to provide much-needed 

homes to people on the Housing 

Register. 

The most recent advice from 

the Ministry of Housing and 

Urban Development said more 

than 1200 applicants are on 

the public housing register in 

Christchurch. 

Housing minister Megan 

Woods was also at the site to officially 

open the housing development. 

Said Kearney: “Community 

housing was part of the last 

Government’s plan to get more 

New Zealanders into housing, 

and the challenges of the 

Covid-19 pandemic is a core 

critical consideration as we plan 

for the future. Minister Woods 

totally understands this. As 

Christchurch grows and our 

population ages, the demand for 

affordable housing is increasing.”



SEASONS GREETINGS FROM HOUSE 

OF TRAVEL MERIVALE-SHIRLEY 

As we near the end of 2020 we thought it would be an opportune time to reflect on the year that no one expected… 

As many of you will know we merged our Shirley team with the Merivale team in August and now we are based in the Merivale village. 

Still all the same emails and contact numbers so please do not hesitate to get in touch with us, or better still pop in to visit us in our new store. 

2020 has been a difficult year for the House of Travel group and for the travel industry across the globe. We have had to downsize our teams, 

minimize costs and pivot our business to a domestic market. It has come with major challenges for us but thankfully due to some Government 

support and our own work behind the scenes we have been able to weather the storm and will continue to provide travel services to fellow 

Cantabrians. 

We anticipate a Cook Island travel bubble to open very soon and hopefully parts of Australia and other Pacific Islands will follow soon after. 

While destinations further abroad may seem out of reach, this presents a fantastic opportunity to explore parts of 

New Zealand and then hopefully our South Pacific neighbours as well. 

As travel will largely be focused on our South Pacific region we thought we’d take the chance to make you aware 

of some of the amazing places you can visit that are a bit off the beaten track. This may get you thinking about 

what your travel plans may be in 2021 and of course we’d love to help you get there. Feel free to pop in to have 

a chat about your travel plans or you can email us at Merivaleshirley@hot.co.nz 

Here in Canterbury we are a resilient bunch and House of Travel Merivale-Shirley will be here for the long term. 

Our team are really looking forward to helping you plan your next holiday away! 

See you soon & we wish you all the best for the festive season. 

Nicky, Lisa, Julia, Aimee, Janine, Bella, Claire and Kelly. 

HOT MERIVALE-SHIRLEY DISCOVERS... 

THE COOK ISLANDS: 

For those active relaxers who like things to do, Rarotonga offers 

some cool experiences such as paddle boarding at night, 

eco cycle tours, quad biking, fishing trips, guided treks 

and yoga retreats… 

FIJI: 

Take time to visit the Yasawa Islands. An island group that is a bit 

off the beaten track but no less beautiful. Due to their location 

these islands are much quieter and give you a real sense of 

peace and solitude, yet still authentically Fijian. Some of our 

favourites are the Octopus Resort, Blue Lagoon Resort and 

the Mantaray Island Resort. 

TASMANIA: 

A place often overlooked as being “too like NZ” – simply Tassie 

is a place not to be missed. Perfect for a self-drive itinerary 

and highlights are: Art Galleries & markets in Hobart, cruise to 

Bruny Island, experience the wild West Coast near Strahan by 

a historic train, take in a boutique distillery at Burnie, visit the 

Cataract Gorge near Launceston and take a chairlift across the 

wide river, paddle or cruise the stunning Wineglass Bay… 

plus much much more. 

WESTERN AUSTRALIA: 

SOUTH AUSTRALIA: 

QUEENSLAND: 

WA offers more than just Perth – hire a car and explore the 

South West Coast. This area offers wineries, stunning beaches, 

tree top walks, wildflowers, rock formations and quirky towns. 

Grab a group of friends and rent your own houseboat and 

meander along the Murray River at your own pace. Take in 

wineries and the stunning scenery along the way, fire up 

the BBQ at night and enjoy the serenity! 

Head North and enjoy the tropical weather and lush rainforests. 

Instead of the main tourist areas you could head into the 

hinterland and experience an eco-retreat in the treetops, or get 

out on the water and roll out your “swag” and sleepover on a 

pontoon floating above the Great Barrier Reef. 

Whatever you love to do or see we are here to help and turn it into a reality! We urge you not to book via international online websites and send your money abroad. 

Instead support your local HOT Travel agents and in return we guarantee great prices, value for money, 24/7 support and friendly, experienced consultants.

ESTUARY MATTERS 

Carpet factory key part of reserve’s history 

The Avon- 

Heathcote 

Estuary 

Ihutai 

Trust is a 

non-profit 

organisation 

formed to protect one 

of New Zealand’s most 

important coastal 

wetlands. Each week, 

board members will 

discuss matters regarding 

the estuary, its rich history 

and what makes it unique. 

This week Bill Simpson 

writes about carpet maker 

Nimrod Mitchell 

AN EARLY hero of the industry 

in Christchurch was Nimrod 

Mitchell who built a carpetmaking 

factory on a site which 

is now part of Charlesworth 

Wetland Reserve. 

He arrived in Christchurch 

from the United Kingdom in 

1879 and in 1884 opened the 

Zealandia Carpet Factory. He 

exported to other parts of the 

colony and also to Sydney. 

The Illustrated Guide to 

Christchurch and Neighbourhood 

of 1885 praised Mitchell as “the 

right man in the right place,” and 

Shop 

Win 

& Relax 

DESTROYED: How the Zealandia Carpet Factory looked in the 1880s. 

described the opening as “a red 

letter day truly, not only for the 

promoter but also for the whole 

colony of New Zealand.” 

But perhaps the carpet business 

was not so rosy. In 1886 

Mitchell was charged with 

burning down his own factory to 

defraud his insurers. A witness in 

the trial, George Richardson, said 

Congratulations to 

David Pearce

MARSHALLS HEALTH & NATURAL THERAPY 

Proudly supported by 

Hanmer Springs 

he was offered £40 by Mitchell to 

burn the factory down. 

Richardson suggested kerosene 

and Mitchell had replied 

“that will do and I will give you 

the key of the factory.” 

However, Richardson later told 

Mitchell he would not set fire to 

the factory; but two weeks later 

the factory was burnt down and 

Mitchell himself was judged to 

be the culprit. 

That is not the end of the story. 

In August 1887, Sir Julius Vogel, 

who had been Premier of New 

Zealand and also the colonial 

treasurer, paid tribute to the 

once-destroyed but now rebuilt 

carpet factory.

Start a new 

Christmas tradition 

What could be better than starting some new family traditions this year? Christmas traditions are memories 

in the making and help spread a little festive cheer whether with your loved ones or out in the community. 

10 great ideas to help make Christmas a magical time of the year 

1. Create a Christmas playlist with some of 

your favourite carols and songs – play it 

loud and every day, if that’s your thing. 

Or plan a pre-Christmas sing-along 

evening – don’t forget to supply the song 

sheet so everyone can join in too. 

2. Get into the spirit of Christmas by getting 

together with family or friends to help 

decorate each other’s houses – turn up 

the music, drink the wine and go all out 

to deck the halls. 

3. Make and send homemade Christmas 

cards – there’s nothing more exciting 

than getting mail, right? Or how about 

writing some generic ones and dropping 

them into your nearest retirement 

home to brighten up an elderly person’s 

Christmas. 

4. Buy your family Christmas tee-shirts or 

Santa hats to wear on the day and don’t 

forget to take a family selfie. 

5. Fill a shoebox with gifts for a child, wrap 

it with a bow, and deliver to the nearest 

community gift tree – check with your 

local library and label with age and 

gender. 

6. Have a yearly family, friends or neighbour 

outdoor games night with drinks and 

nibbles leading up to the big day – think 

Pétanque, hoopla, mini golf, giant chess, 

or croquet. 

7. Take a leaf out of Iceland’s traditional 

‘Jolabokaflod’ or Christmas Book Flood, 

and give a book as a gift on Christmas 

Eve each year – don’t forget to write 

inside the cover who it’s from and the 

date. 

8. Make a list of must see Christmas movies 

to watch a week before Christmas day 

and tick off the ones you’ve watched. 

Don’t forget the popcorn and hot 

chocolate or nibbles and wine. 

9. Make and give a handmade ornament 

as a gift each year – the lucky receiver’s 

Christmas tree will be covered with 

beautiful, handmade memories. 

10. Make homemade hot chocolate on 

Christmas Eve or on Christmas morning 

to drink while the presents are being 

opened – decorate with whipped cream, 

grated chocolate, marshmallows, or 

crushed candy canes. 

Give a Christmas 

gift to remember! 

With summer on the way there’s 

never been a better excuse to take 

a break and head to Hanmer Springs. 

Just 90 minutes north of Christchurch, 

Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools and Spa 

offers something for everyone - whether 

it’s that hard-to-buy-for friend or a well 

deserved treat for yourself.

occasion. Relax and unwind in our 

22 open-air thermal pools, enjoy the 

adrenalin of Conical Thrill, New Zealand’s

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 

Christmas is a great time for passing down recipes that are tried and true becoming 

traditional family favourites. The owner of this recipe says her mum used to make 

the pudding on Christmas Eve and would take the bowl and wooden spoon around 

everyone in the house to stir the mixture and make a wish. 

Make a Wish Christmas Pudding 

You will need: 

• 1 ½ tbsp butter 

• 1 ½ tsp baking soda 

• 1 ½ cups of boiling water 

• 1 ½ cups flour 

• 1 ½ cups mixed fruit or sultanas 

• ¾ cup sugar 

Method: 

1. In a glass or stainless steel bowl, 

melt the butter (over hot water) 

and dissolve the baking soda. 

2. Add the boiling water and 

sugar. 

3. When cool, add flour and 

mixed fruit. 

4. Stir all the ingredients together 

and make a Christmas wish. 

5. Cover bowl with a tea towel and 

allow to stand overnight. 

The next day: 

• Place mixture into a greased 

bowl or ice-cream container, 

cover with tinfoil and place in a 

pot of water, just deep enough 

so the bowl doesn’t float. 

• Boil pudding for four hours and 

check regularly to make sure 

the water has boiled dry. Top 

up carefully with extra water if 

required. 

• Serve with heaps of Chantilly 

cream! 

Chantilly 

Cream 


• 1 x bottle of cream 

• ½ tsp vanilla essence 

• 1 tbsp icing sugar to 

sweeten 

Method: 

Put cream, vanilla essence 

and icing sugar in a bowl and 

whisk until light and fluffy with 

softly formed peaks. Cover and 

refrigerate until ready to serve.

Santa’s Brekkie Pancakes 

with fresh berries 

This one is not just for the kids – the sweetness of the bananas makes these 

pancakes scrumptious and a delicious, healthy breakfast hit for everyone! 


• 4-5 bananas (soft enough to mash) 

• 4 eggs 

• ½ cup rice flour 

• 2 tbsp whole linseed 

• ½ tsp salt 

• grated lemon rind 

• juice from 1 lemon 

• splash of vanilla 

• butter to cook the pancakes 

Method: 

1. Peel and mash the bananas in a bowl. 

2. Stir in the eggs, vanilla, linseed, salt 

and lemon ingredients. 

3. Add flour and mix to a smooth batter. 

4. Cook pancakes in frypan on one side 

until they bubble on the surface or hold 

together enough to be flipped over. 

5. If the mixture is thick, flatten the 

pancakes out once they’ve been turned 

over. Each pancake should be around 

1cm thick. 

Kid’s version: 

Decorate each pancake with red berries 

for Santa’s hat, Greek yoghurt or 

whipped cream for Santa’s beard and 

chocolate buttons or grape halves for 

Santa’s eyes. 

Adult’s version: 

Serve with a mix of fresh strawberries, 

blueberries, raspberries, and 

boysenberries. Top off with Greek 

yoghurt.

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.
