Council gets notice to get rid of 

Bromley odour by January 2022 

THE CITY council has 

until January next year to 

stop offensive odour from 

lingering beyond the site of 

its controversial organics 

processing plant. 

Environment Canterbury 

has served the city council an 

abatement notice requiring that 

it must stop the discharge of 

“offensive and objectionable” 

beyond its Living Earth plant by 

January 31, 2022. 

This comes 

following a 

move by the city 

council last year 

to redevelop 

the composting 

plant in Metro 

Pl, Bromley, to 

Helen 

Beaumont 

mitigate ongoing odour issues 

plaguing nearby residents. 

Said Helen Beaumont, city 

council head of three waters 

and waste: “We know that 

people have had enough of 

the odour problems and want 

the situation resolved. Work is 

already underway developing 

the detailed scope of works 

and user requirements that will 

form the basis of the tender 

documentation for the redevelopment 

project.”

Pupils prepare gardens for festival 

PLANTS, FLOWERS and 

vegetables are sprouting at 

schools across the city as they 

finalise their designs for the 

Grow Ōtautahi garden festival 

next month. 

Banks Avenue School and 

five others will be taking part 

in the Rātā Foundation School 

Gardens exhibitions at the 

three-day festival. 

It comes after the event was 

cancelled last year due to the 

Covid-19 pandemic. 

Pupils have been sharing 

unique stories of their communities 

by creating special 

gardens. 

The Rātā Foundation School 

Gardens celebrate the best of 

the local environment, with 

a view to sustainability and 

education. 

Festival director Sandi 

MacRae said she was impressed 

at the work and detail in the 

school gardens. 

“What I’m seeing in the 

lead-up to the event is really 

blowing me away. The schools 

are not only creating wonderful 

reflections of their local communities, 

they’re also weaving 

the work into their learning 

with a focus on community, 

sustainability, creativity and 

celebrating our environment,” 

she said. 

SPROUTING: Pupils across the city, including at Banks Avenue School, have been 

preparing to show off their unique gardens at the Grow Ōtautahi festival next 

month. 

“The plants are growing well 

and I can’t wait to see them 

on-site in the Christchurch 

Botanic Gardens. 

“The commitment of the 

teachers, children and local 

communities involved is inspirational, 

and I know visitors 

to the festival will be delighted 

with what they have created.” 

Rātā Foundation chief 

executive Leighton Evans said 

the festival provided a unique 

opportunity to celebrate the 

Garden City while increasing 

environmental awareness. 

It also supported educating 

children about sustainable 

growing practices. 

“The Rātā Foundation School 

Gardens provide a pathway for 

building the next generation of 

gardeners and eco-warriors,” 

said Evans. 

The Grow Ōtautahi Christchurch 

Garden Festival Trust is 

closely monitoring the national 

Covid-19 situation, following 

all advice from the Government 

and will respond “swiftly” 

to any changing circumstances. 

Said MacRae: “We are all 

focused on the task at hand and 

gearing-up to welcome people 

to the first-ever Grow Ōtautahi. 

This has always included a 

sharp focus on public safety 

and we’ll have appropriate 

hygiene and health-related 

processes in place.”

$22m investment 

needed to 

upgrade facility 

• From page 1 

The plant processes food and green 

waste collected through the city’s 

kerbside collection, which is then 

turned into compost. 

The city council will invest 

about $22 million to upgrade the 

technology and construct a second 

processing building ensuring all parts 

of the composting process occurred 

indoors. 

Beaumont said the organisation 

was committed to completing the 

re-development of the plant as soon 

as possible. 

“We have engaged a contractor to 

assist us in completing this work as 

quickly and efficiently as possible and 

intend to bring a procurement plan 

to elected members in March for final 

approval,” she said. 

“We have already let the market 

know that we will soon be seeking 

tenders for this project and will formally 

call for expressions of interest 

this month.” 

Once a contractor was chosen, the 

city council will be able to determine 

firm timelines for the project, but 

“work will begin this year.” 

“The speed of implementation will 

be a criteria that we consider when 

assessing the tenders as we know this 

work needs to be done quickly,’’ said 

Beaumont.

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 

this 12-month rates increase

Manukura Kōrero - success 

Koe te whakawhiti o te rā 

You are like the shining of the sun 

What a week it has been! If I had to 

describe how angitu/successful 

ākonga at Haeata have been I would 

say ka mau te wehi! It has been 

awesome over these first two weeks. 

Haeata warmly congratulates 

the ākonga who are part of Te Whānau 

o Kōmanawa (supported by East 

Empire Sports Inc.) who achieved 1st 

place at the Waka Ama competition last 

weekend at Nelson Lakes. 

We love seeing success in the lives 

of our ākonga outside of Haeata! 

Ka mau te wehi! 

Ākonga in uniform - yes! 

Ākonga engaged in purposeful 

learning - yes! 

Ākonga supporting each other - yes! 

Ākonga enjoying kura - yes! 

With the unexpected move to COVID-19 Alert Level 2 Haeata moved 

quickly to reestablish the protocols to keep us all safe. Regular hand-hygiene, 

sensible distancing, and stringent cleaning protocols for all surfaces 

in hapori have been implemented. 

Our motto - “take nothing for granted and be vigilant.” 

Fortunately we received notification today from the Prime Minister that 

we have moved to COVID-19 Alert Level 1, so as we all breathe a 

collective sigh of relief we say - “back to business as usual!” 

The relentless pursuit of personal angitu/success. 

Our success depends on our collective commitment to personal 

accountability and personal definitions of excellent. I have been so impressed 

to hear Ākonga say, this is what success looks like for me and 

this is how I am going to achieve it this year. Success only comes after 

clear goals are set, a plan is in place and a commitment to hard work. 

Being a success only happens if the individual does the mahi - and I see 

that at Haeata everyday. 

I see our Ākonga are putting in the hard yards already and I am very 

proud of them all! They do indeed - shine like the sun! 

Nō reira he maurea kai whiria! - Arohanui. 

Nō reira huri noa i pūmanawa o Haeata - Arohanui.

Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University 

Just before lockdown we enrolled 20 ākonga at Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s 

University from Kōmanawa hāpori. Te Mātāpuna Mātātahi | Children’s University aims to 

raise young people’s aspirations for higher education and encourage lifelong learning. The 

University of Canterbury and Lincoln University are working in partnership to deliver the 

programme, which is the first of its kind in New Zealand. 

We were so excited to see the success in 2020, that 

this year we have managed to get 40 spots for 2021. 

This is an exciting opportunity for our ākonga top 

experience success in 2021! 

As we continue to focus on success in 

2021, we are warmly inviting all whānau 

with years 11-13 students at Haeata to 

attend a whānau hui on the 10th March 

4pm-7pm. This will be a great time for 

parents and ākonga to understand what 

opportunities there are for them at 

Haeata, and how they can best achieve 

their goals. 

The kaiako look forward to meeting our 

whānau to share with them the exciting 

possibilities that await their ākonga in 

the future!
