Dyers Pass Rd upgrade work<br />
frustrates peninsula residents<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
BANKS PENINSULA residents<br />
want better communication from<br />
the city council about Dyers Pass<br />
Rd safety upgrades.<br />
The road has been reduced to a<br />
single lane during the day and is<br />
closed between 7pm and 6am as<br />
road works occur, estimated to<br />
finish in June.<br />
Those who live and work in<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> are frustrated with<br />
irregular communication from the<br />
council about what is happening.<br />
Resident, John Bannock said:<br />
“The council engagement with the<br />
community has been woeful and<br />
almost non-existent.”<br />
Reuben Miller, who also lives<br />
in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>, said the roadworks<br />
have added an extra 20<br />
minutes to his journey to work in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
Sue Carter has lived in<br />
Governors <strong>Bay</strong> for more than 10<br />
years. She works near the airport,<br />
starting at 5am and has to leave<br />
much earlier, detouring through<br />
Lyttelton Tunnel with Dyers Pass<br />
Rd closed in the early morning<br />
hours.<br />
Said Governors <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
House owner Nic Graham:<br />
“Covid and now these road<br />
works are wreaking havoc on the<br />
community-focused cafe.’’<br />

REDCLIFFS residents have<br />
concerns an upgrade to the<br />
community’s medical centre will<br />
pose a danger to cyclists and<br />
others who the use the shared<br />
Coastal Pathway.<br />
The Redcliffs Residents Association<br />
is now calling on the city<br />
council to notify the resource<br />
consent needed for the development<br />
on Main Rd, allowing the<br />
public to provide feedback.<br />
Rebuilding<br />
the medical<br />
centre on the<br />
new site will<br />
mean vehicle<br />
access into the<br />
building will<br />
have to cross<br />
the popular<br />
Coastal Pathway.<br />
Redcliffs<br />
Residents Association secretary<br />
Pat McIntosh said: “We have<br />
major concerns for the safety<br />
of those who use the pathway,<br />
including cyclists and children.<br />
“It would break the flow of the<br />
path which was intended to be<br />
an unbroken route from town<br />
through to Sumner.”<br />
Said Coastal Pathway Group<br />
chairman Hanno Sander: “As<br />
stewards of the Coastal Pathway,<br />
we want to work with the community<br />
to ensure safety for pathway<br />
users. Currently the vision<br />
for the pathway is a continuous<br />
6.5km connection between communities.<br />
“We are concerned that a busy<br />
access point would split that<br />
connection.”<br />
Only one of the shops would<br />
remain if the medical centre was<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
rebuilt in that area, and planting<br />
and established flower gardens<br />
would likely have to be removed.<br />
“The area is part of the economic<br />
centre of the village and<br />
we are reluctant to close another<br />
commercial venue,” McIntosh<br />
said.<br />
“The village is quite vulnerable<br />
and we do not want to threaten<br />
the economic viability.”<br />
The residents’ association has<br />
asked the community board to<br />
look at the project and to provide<br />
advice on whether it should be<br />
approved.<br />
McIntosh spoke to a planner<br />
involved in the project last<br />
month who said they were<br />
looking into the safety and traffic<br />

aspects of it.<br />
Linwood-Heathcote-Central<br />
Community Board chairwoman<br />
Alexandra Davids confirmed<br />
the plans were still being developed.<br />
She said once that occurred,<br />
stakeholders would be approached<br />
for feedback.<br />
McIntosh said: “We do not<br />
want the medical centre to leave<br />
the village, it is important to the<br />
community.”<br />
“But it would be ideal if the<br />
medical centre could be built<br />
on its own original site and if<br />
we could facilitate this for them.<br />
There would be good access, it<br />
would still be close to the centre<br />
of the village without interfering<br />
with the Coastal Pathway.”<br />
The medical centre is expected<br />
to move from 180 Main Rd and<br />
rebuild at 93-95 in the village<br />
centre.<br />
It is the perfect site for the<br />
medical centre as they are wanting<br />
to consolidate their resources<br />
into one building, including a<br />
pharmacy.<br />
The owner of the medical<br />
centre was unavailable for<br />
comment.<br />

THE PROPOSED streamlining<br />
of library hours could result in<br />
the closure of the service desk at<br />
Lyttelton Library.<br />
The action has been suggested<br />
as part of cost-saving measures<br />
recommended in the city council’s<br />
10-year draft budget.<br />
This comes at the same time as<br />
a recommendation to close the<br />
service desk in Akaroa.<br />
The closest service desk for<br />
those residents would be Halswell,<br />
which is over an hour away by car.<br />
City council chief executive<br />
Dawn Baxendale said the Lyttelton<br />
service desk has “minimal<br />
transactions.” It was the reasoning<br />
behind the proposed closure.<br />
She said more residents were<br />
choosing to use online or phone<br />
services to make their payments<br />
to the council.<br />
The library services would still<br />
continue.<br />
For those who do use the Lyttelton<br />
service desk the next closest<br />
would be at Eastgate Shopping<br />
Centre.<br />
Lyttelton resident Al Park often<br />
uses the service desk, combining<br />
its use with trips to the library,<br />
saving time and convenience.<br />
“It is cool to be able to<br />
walk into the library and<br />
let them know about any<br />
little community issues,”<br />
he said.<br />
“It is a way to inform<br />
the council of things<br />
they need to be doing<br />
otherwise nothing seems<br />
to happen.”<br />
Park also pays his rates there.<br />
Another Lyttelton resident,<br />
Wendy Everingham, suggested<br />
the role go back to the Lyttelton<br />
Information Centre as a “natural<br />
progression.”<br />

“We know our place best<br />
and I envisage in the future<br />
the role will mostly be practical<br />
things like giving out<br />
keys for the pool or other<br />
council facilities plus local<br />
information.”<br />
Public consultation on<br />
the draft Long Term Plan<br />
will begin on <strong>March</strong> 12 and<br />
continue until April 18.<br />

Council making adjustments<br />
to improve traffic flow<br />
• From page 1<br />
People say in spite of the<br />
impact the works are having<br />
on the community, businesses<br />
were not consulted, there was<br />
no community meeting to<br />
discuss the works and people<br />
were only informed of the road<br />
works via road signage and<br />
city council updates on their<br />
website.<br />
Said Carter: “We didn’t<br />
get any communication in<br />
the letter box. Usually when<br />
roadworks occur, we’d see<br />
physical communication on<br />
what is happening with a<br />
number to call if you need<br />
advice.”<br />
Said Miller: “There has been<br />
a lack of clarity about what<br />
they are actually doing.”<br />
There is now an email<br />
newsletter providing updates,<br />
but there have still been issues<br />
where it has appeared the road<br />
has closed earlier than usual.<br />
City council transport<br />
planning and delivery manager<br />
Lynette Ellis, said they are<br />
working with the contractors<br />
to resolve those issues.<br />
The city council has received<br />
numerous feedback on the<br />
road works and they are<br />
trying to make adjustments to<br />
improve safety and traffic flow<br />
where possible.<br />
One positive change, Bannock<br />
said, were the staffing<br />
of traffic lights during the<br />
morning and evenings for<br />
week drivers.<br />
Yet residents remain puzzled<br />
on whether the roadworks<br />
will solve usage problems on<br />
the road, such as competition<br />
for space between cars and<br />
cyclists, and boy racers.<br />
Said Ellis: “We acknowledge<br />
the work will not fix all issues<br />
on the road as there will still be<br />
limited road space for cyclists<br />
and drivers to share.<br />
“The work will widen the<br />
road slightly and the drainage<br />
channel has been designed so<br />
that a cyclist or driver could<br />
drop a wheel into the channel<br />
safely.”<br />
However, drains now in<br />
place are already filling up with<br />
rocks and debris.<br />
Said Miller: “I would like to<br />
see the council riding in the<br />
rock-filled drainage gutters.”<br />
In 2018, Christchurch<br />
communities were asked to<br />
provide feedback on issues<br />
with the road.<br />
A majority of submissions<br />
mentioned concerns about<br />
boy racers. However, residents<br />
do not understand how the<br />
new guard rails will solve this<br />
issue.<br />

THE BANKS Peninsula<br />
Community Board will meet<br />
with the Urumau Reserve<br />
Management Committee within<br />
the next two weeks over criticism<br />
of its management practices.<br />
Said community board chairwoman<br />
Tori<br />
Peden: “We<br />
have called<br />
a meeting to figure<br />
out the best<br />
way forward.”<br />
It comes after<br />
Nick Jackman,<br />
representing the<br />
residents of Foster<br />
Tce shared their frustrations<br />
at the abilities of the Urumau<br />
Reserve Management Committee<br />
to manage the reserve at a<br />
community board meeting on<br />
Monday.<br />
Jackman told the meeting<br />
residents have no confidence in<br />
the committee to manage the fire<br />
risk in the area.<br />
“They are not following the<br />
best practice Scion guidelines for<br />
fire risk management,” he said.<br />
The Urumau Reserve Development<br />
Plan states a fire buffer<br />
must be created. The residents<br />
believe this has not been<br />
addressed and instead a small<br />
native border has been created.<br />
Jackman said the committee<br />
is neither pruning nor removing<br />
dead and dry material, leaving<br />
“fuel for future fires.”<br />
Jackman has had concerns<br />
over the management of the<br />
reserve for several years. He<br />
has slowly seen the build up of<br />
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz<br />
dry material increasing the fire<br />
risk, and after the Cass <strong>Bay</strong> fire<br />
in February, he finally thought<br />
enough is enough.<br />
The residents support the<br />
efforts to preserve and enhance<br />
native flora and fauna but feel<br />
as if the different stakeholder’s<br />
interests are not being balanced.<br />
Jackman told the meeting conflict<br />
over management of fire risk<br />
is just the tip of the iceberg.<br />

Said Jackman: “The committee<br />
has taken an undemocratic<br />
approach to dealing with our<br />
concerns.”<br />
Jackman told <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News the reserve management<br />
committee had told residents<br />
what they were doing was going<br />
to make it safer ‘but it isn’t.’<br />
“It is gas lighting,’’ he said.<br />
Jackman said he took<br />
residents’ concerns to the<br />
community board to start a<br />
dialogue.<br />
He wants the board to hold the<br />
committee to account and for a<br />
new management structure to be<br />
put in place.<br />
“It’s an instance where the<br />
board needs to take a hand on<br />
approach,’’ he said.<br />
Jackman suggested a fire risk<br />
management professional, such<br />
as from Fire and Emergency NZ,<br />
join the committee.<br />
“All stakeholders need to be<br />
recognised and the different<br />

Progress under way for track<br />
upgrade after three years<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
WORK IS happening behind the<br />
scenes on mountain bike track<br />
upgrades in Urumau Reserve.<br />
Lyttelton Mountain Bike<br />
Club member Joshua Merriam,<br />
asked the Banks Peninsula<br />
Community Board at its<br />
meeting on Monday to approve<br />
the track upgrades at the<br />
reserve’s entrance. The track is a<br />
component of the 2018 Urumau<br />
Development Plan.<br />
He presented a petition to<br />
the board with more than 100<br />
signatures during the meeting.<br />
Community board<br />
chairwoman Tori Peden said<br />
the board is waiting for a final<br />
report from city council regional<br />
parks manager Paul Devlin as<br />
there is now funding available<br />
for improvements on the track.<br />
Said Mt Herbert subdivision<br />
board member Scott Winter:<br />
“Everyone is in agreement that<br />
this should be approved.”<br />
Merriam said the community<br />
board’s response was frustrating<br />
as it has been the same response<br />
they have been receiving for<br />
several years.<br />
“I’ll give them the benefit of<br />
the doubt and trust that movement<br />
is actually happening in<br />
the background,” Merriam said.<br />
The campaign began in<br />
August 2018 after the board<br />
approved the development plan,<br />
including the entrance track.<br />
However, no progress has<br />
been made since then to actually<br />
approve the access track into<br />
the reserve. Instead the track<br />
is still classified as a “proposed<br />
track,” in spite of being used<br />
by both mountain bikers and<br />
walkers alike to access the track.<br />
“It’s roadblock terminology,”<br />
said Merriam.<br />
Inaction from discussions<br />
with the Urumau Reserve Management<br />
Committee, prompted<br />
Merriam to take this campaign<br />
A STEP<br />
CLOSER:<br />
Lyttelton<br />
Mountain<br />
Bike Club is<br />
hoping the<br />
entrance track<br />
to Urumau<br />
Reserve will<br />
be approved<br />
after almost<br />
three years of<br />
inaction.<br />

to the board.<br />
Approving the track would<br />
allow for increased engagement<br />
with the reserve and it<br />
would complete the entrance<br />
connection from Foster Tce to the<br />
Urumau traverse track, allowing<br />
for appreciation of the native<br />
planting through which the area<br />
it traverses, Merriam said.<br />

Grower ordered<br />
to repay wages<br />
ASPARAGUS grower<br />
Christopher Gray has been<br />
fined for under-paying exploited<br />
workers.<br />
The Employment Relations<br />
Authority set the penalty for the<br />
owner of Motukarara Asparagus<br />
at $26,000, after ordering in October<br />
that he repay 13 staff about<br />
$54,000.<br />
Many of the workers were from<br />
Fiji and were vulnerable because<br />
they didn’t know their entitlements,<br />
and English was their<br />
second language.<br />
Workers were paid a piece<br />
rate based on the amount of<br />
asparagus that they picked, and<br />
weren’t paid minimum wages and<br />
holiday entitlements.<br />
It was found some of the<br />
employee’s wages were being<br />
calculated based on how much<br />
asparagus they picked at $2.50 a<br />
kilogram.<br />
According to the ERA, there<br />
are four different types of breaches<br />
by Gray.<br />
A failure to pay minimum wage<br />
for 12 employees, failure to obtain<br />
consent for deductions from<br />
wages for 11 employees, failure to<br />
provide for public holidays and<br />
failure to keep compliant holiday<br />
and leave records.<br />
The ERA found pay was being<br />
deducted for things such as<br />
airfares and accommodation<br />
without the workers’ consent.<br />

Special place for flowers presented<br />
in recognition of opera performance<br />
MEMORIES: Raemon Greenwood’s passion for opera provides<br />
an unbreakable bond with her parents Beverley and Earl Stick,<br />
who were killed on a bus crushed by a collapsing building on<br />
February 22, 2011.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
• By Chris Barclay<br />
WHEN RAEMON Greenwood<br />
was presented with flowers in<br />
recognition of her contribution<br />
to an operatic company’s<br />
inaugural production, she<br />
already had the perfect place to<br />
put them on display.<br />
Rather than keep them in her<br />
Redcliffs home, she carried them<br />
north of the city last Monday, to<br />
the resting place of her parents<br />
Earl and Beverley Stick.<br />
While the city paused at<br />
12.51pm to remember the<br />
10th anniversary of the deadly<br />
February 22, 2011, earthquake,<br />
Greenwood was at rural Balcairn<br />
inland from Leithfield Beach.<br />
“I’d been given a really beautiful<br />
floral arrangement from the<br />
Dame Malvina Major Foundation.<br />
I placed it on my parents<br />
grave, it was appropriate because<br />
that’s how much they loved opera,”<br />
she said.<br />
In a perfect world Earl and<br />
Beverley would have sat in one<br />
of the three rows either side of<br />
the stage at The Great Hall of<br />
The Arts Centre when To Toi<br />
Opera debuted with their adaptation<br />
of Puccini’s Suor Angelica<br />
& Elegies.<br />
Tragically they were passengers<br />
on the No 3 bus which was<br />
crushed by a collapsing building<br />
on Colombo St as the couple<br />
headed to Christchurch Hospital,<br />
where Earl was undergoing cancer<br />
treatment.<br />
“They loved opera and classical<br />
music. In the Canterbury<br />
Opera days we were all on the<br />
POIGNANT: Raemon<br />
Greenwood embraced<br />
the role of The Abbess<br />
in Toi Toi Opera’s<br />
production of Puccini’s<br />
Suor Angelica &<br />
Elegies.<br />
PHOTO: WEI LI JIANG<br />
friends committee,” Greenwood<br />
explained.<br />
“We used to do the catering,<br />
dad would help out with the<br />
props.”<br />
So Toi Toi’s New Zealandthemed<br />
take on an opera inspired<br />
by World War 1 and first staged<br />
in 1918 was particularly poignant<br />
for Greenwood, who assumed<br />
the role of The Abbess.<br />
“Mum would have been here.<br />
My niece’s wedding is at Easter<br />
and mum would have been here,”<br />
she said.<br />
A ticketed rehearsal was held<br />
on February 18, four shows<br />
followed culminating with the<br />
finale on February 21.<br />
Fortunately the lastminute<br />
relaxing of Covid-19<br />
restrictions in Auckland enabled<br />
Greenwood’s out of town<br />
family members to witness<br />
her performance, the visitors<br />
including a 91-year-old aunt.<br />
“Everyone got down and they<br />
loved it,” she said.<br />
“It was so up close and intimate,<br />
everybody was raving<br />
about it. We had a waitlist for the<br />
last night.<br />
“Someone I volunteer with,<br />
it was the first opera she’d been<br />
to, she said it was just stunning.<br />
We had a lot of new people that<br />
hadn’t been to opera, that’s a<br />
good thing.”<br />
Greenwood hosted a family<br />
dinner for 29 later on anniversary<br />
day, a positive occasion in<br />
spite of the circumstances.<br />
“The slides came out and we<br />
went through all the lovely old<br />
memories,” she said.<br />
“There was this stunning<br />
photo of my mother, in her late<br />
teens, skating up Porters Pass way.”<br />
Greenwood estimated it took<br />
12 months to come to terms with<br />
losing her loved ones, the pair<br />
of devoted explorers, coming to<br />
grief so close to home.<br />
“In a year I flipped my grief<br />
to gratitude. I know a lot of<br />
people have found it very hard<br />
losing their loved ones . . . I had<br />
to be thankful for everything,<br />
thankful that I’d had parents for<br />
50 years.”<br />
•Buoyed by the success<br />
of Suor Angelica & Elegies,<br />
Toi Toi Opera’s creative<br />
director Katherine Doig<br />
said their next, as yet<br />
unspecified, production<br />
was planned for December<br />
or January.<br />

Bid to recreate images from the past<br />
• By Samantha Mythen<br />
A LYTTELTON man has taken<br />
part in a nostalgic social media<br />
trend seen around the world,<br />
recreating a photo from his<br />
childhood.<br />
He hopes others will do the<br />
same and also share on their<br />
social media.<br />
Standing outside Lyttelton<br />
Primary school, Jordan Paulsen<br />
posed to recreate a photo taken<br />
of himself 25 years earlier,<br />
outside what was then Lyttelton<br />
Main school.<br />
This generated many positive<br />
comments and interest after<br />
Paulsen posted the photos to a<br />
Lyttelton community group on<br />
Facebook.<br />
Paulsen said: “This is a good<br />
way for social media to be used<br />
for the positive, bringing a smile<br />
to people who see the photo,<br />
them maybe recognising the<br />
person or the place.”<br />
He was inspired to try this<br />
idea after his mother had given<br />
him several photo albums.<br />
After digging around, he had<br />
found photos of old landmarks<br />
of his youth, including the photo<br />
taken outside Lyttelton Primary<br />
School.<br />
“I still have a strong bond to<br />
the school and its landscape.<br />
When I walk through the<br />
grounds today, I have many<br />
memories,” he said.<br />
THEN AND NOW: Jordan Paulsen stands outside Lyttelton<br />
Primary School in 1995 and <strong>2021</strong>.<br />
“This is a cool way to recreate<br />
the fun you had as a child,<br />
looking at where it started versus<br />
how it’s going now.”<br />
Paulsen was born and bred in<br />
Lyttelton in 1989. In fact he is<br />
the fifth generation of his family<br />
to have lived there.<br />
He grew up in the village,<br />
leaving for Sydney when he was<br />
18 where he lived for 10 years.<br />
He moved back to Lyttelton at<br />
the beginning of 2020.<br />
Paulsen said: “Although<br />
time passes, your heart always<br />
remains in the spot where you<br />
grew up with friends and family.<br />
My emotional and spiritual<br />
connection with Lyttelton has<br />
always been there.”<br />
Most of his family still live in<br />
Lyttelton and he still has friends<br />
from his days at Lyttelton Main<br />
School.<br />
Paulsen hopes that this may<br />
inspire other locals to recreate<br />
images from their childhood<br />
too, taking valuable time to<br />
reflect on how things have<br />
changed.<br />
“I’m sure that there are many<br />
locals old and new who could<br />
recreate images too,’’ he said.<br />

now’ recreated photos<br />

OUR PEOPLE – SIMON THOMAS<br />
Rockanteur settles into harbour scene<br />
Musician Simon<br />
Thomas has drifted<br />
around the world<br />
writing songs for<br />
much of his life until<br />
Covid-19 put a halt<br />
to his travels and he<br />
found himself settled<br />
in Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>. He talks<br />
to Samantha Mythen<br />
Tell me about yourself.<br />
I was born in Sydney and I got<br />
out of there as soon as I could<br />
at 20. I didn’t like the big city. I<br />
travelled around for 3-4 years.<br />
I spent a couple of years in Asia<br />
and in Europe with a Kombi van,<br />
playing music all over the place<br />
and selling Indian clothes at<br />
festivals.<br />
I later married a German girl<br />
and we came back to Australia to<br />
have a family. We bought a piece<br />
of land out in the wilderness<br />
in northern NSW, inland from<br />
Byron <strong>Bay</strong> at a Buddhist retreat<br />
centre. I raised my kids In the<br />
Buddhist community and then<br />
in 2014, my youngest left home.<br />
I’d already split up with his mum<br />
by then, so then I went back to<br />
drifting around the world again.<br />
And so I’ve more or less had<br />
no fixed address since then. I<br />
spent a lot of time in Bhutan,<br />
India, Nepal, and Guatemala. I<br />
do volunteer work, play music,<br />
write stories, whatever else takes<br />
my fancy.<br />
This was until Covid-19 hit. I<br />
was in Kathmandu as the screws<br />
started to tighten in <strong>March</strong> last<br />
year and I thought it would all<br />
blow over by June. But then<br />
I suddenly realised as all the<br />
borders were closing and all of<br />
the airlines were shutting down,<br />
I’d have to get out.<br />
So I made a dash. I’ve been<br />
with my partner Kim for two<br />
years. She has a lovely house in<br />
Corsair <strong>Bay</strong>. It seemed like the<br />
best place to go and it still seems<br />
like a very good place to be in<br />
the pandemic. When I got onto<br />
the plane, the lockdown hadn’t<br />
been announced and then when<br />
I got off the plane, they told me<br />
everyone was self-isolating, not<br />
just me. We did a big shop and<br />
then hunkered down in Corsair.<br />
And now I’m here until further<br />
notice.<br />
Had you been in NZ much<br />
before now?<br />
No, I had brought my kids<br />
over for holidays twice and then<br />
I spent a few months in Corsair<br />
<strong>Bay</strong> in 2019 and 2020, so I’m<br />
pretty new here.<br />
After being, as you said,<br />
adrift for so long, how is it<br />
being in one place?<br />
It’s fine, I don’t really get<br />
homesick. Although I have two<br />
grandsons and I can’t see them<br />
at the moment which is the only<br />
thing. I write and play my music<br />
and I have a lovely little room<br />
overlooking the bay. I don’t think<br />
very much about what I haven’t<br />
got, it’s quite a rich existence<br />
already.<br />
ARTISTIC: Simon<br />
Thomas tells stories<br />
through music.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
So you’re a musician, what<br />
drew you to this creative scene?<br />
I first of all played violin when<br />
I was a kid and I used to do<br />
lessons before school. I often<br />
did not do as I was told and so<br />
I never held my hand in the<br />
correct position. One day my<br />
teacher got so angry at me, she<br />
took the belt off her gown and<br />
tied my hand to the back of the<br />
violin.<br />
This turned me off the violin<br />
and I then got started on the<br />
guitar. When my kids were<br />
growing up, I couldn’t really<br />
make a living in the bush from<br />
music, so I sold solar panels and<br />
did solar installations. Now I’m<br />
a singer-songwriter. Sometimes I<br />
play with a band or a duo.<br />
What’s your why for your<br />
music?<br />
It’s not really a why, you just<br />
have to do it. If you don’t play for<br />
a few days then you get this kind<br />
of feeling inside that you really<br />
need to play. There’s a certain<br />
satisfaction to delivering a song<br />
and there’s delivering for your<br />
own satisfaction and then there’s<br />
the communication with the<br />
audience. There’s this drive to be<br />
able to play something that you<br />
hear in your head or that you’ve<br />
heard on the radio. The ideas for<br />
my songs just come up and then<br />
they bounce around me inside<br />
and I have to get them out one<br />
way or another.<br />
What is your preferred style<br />
of music?<br />
Mainly rock, folk and blues.<br />
I find wood, strings and steel<br />
resonate in my heart. To a pretty<br />
big extent this comes from<br />
what you grow up with. Most<br />
people gravitate towards what<br />
they experienced as a teenager I<br />
think.<br />
So when you were a teenager,<br />
what inspired your music taste?<br />
Bowie is probably the biggest.<br />
Queen, Led Zeppelin.<br />
You’ve recently written an<br />
album of songs for children<br />
based around Buddhism. What<br />
draws you to Buddhism?<br />
The first interest I had was<br />
through Jungian psychology<br />
and he would refer to some<br />
Buddhism principals. What he<br />
was saying resonated with me<br />
as being authentic. The way that<br />
I’ve since learned Buddhism is<br />
you tend to study and practice as<br />
two wings of the bird and then<br />
you fly. So if you’re practising<br />
those in a certain balance, you<br />
find its incredibly enriching in<br />
your life. I’ve found a lot of joy<br />
in my life that wouldn’t be there<br />
otherwise.<br />
You call yourself a<br />
rockanteur, what does that<br />
mean to you?<br />
Well a raconteur is a theatrical<br />
storyteller. So a rockanteur is a<br />
theatrical storyteller who does it<br />
through rock music.<br />
What is your favourite part of<br />
performing live?<br />
The connection with the<br />
audience is what it is all about.<br />
When you deliver a song and<br />
there’s an emotional connection<br />
that happens between the people<br />
and they understand not just the<br />
words but the feeling.<br />
You mentioned Kathmandu,<br />
tell me about your time there?<br />
The first time I visited was in<br />
1989, and the last seven years,<br />
I’ve been spending between<br />
three and five months living in<br />
different parts of Kathmandu<br />
NO FIXED ABODE: Thomas has spent much of his life travelling. He has been to places<br />
such as Cuba and Kathmandu.<br />
writing and playing music. It’s a<br />
very, very old place and there’s<br />
still a sense of magic that is<br />
imbued into the place. There are<br />
buildings that have been there<br />
for literally thousands of years<br />
and people have lived generation<br />
after generation in the same<br />
place. And of course, there is the<br />
Himalayas.<br />
There’s an interesting bar<br />
owner that I work with there,<br />
doing gigs for him once or twice<br />
a week. His name is Ram and his<br />
bar is called Ramsterdam.<br />
What do you think of the<br />
Christchurch music scene?<br />
I particularly know Banks<br />
Peninsula and Lyttelton and it’s<br />
great, I’m very impressed. I think<br />
Lyttelton is a centre for artistic<br />
activity and there are quite a few<br />
really accomplished musicians<br />
there.<br />
How does Lyttelton compare<br />
with Ramsterdam?<br />
Wunderbar and Ramsterdam<br />
have quite a bit in common,<br />
they’re both quite crazy. It’s a<br />
great scene here, I’ve loved the<br />
festivals – the Banks Peninsula<br />
Festival and Nostalgia. Deva<br />
Mahal at the latter was great, a<br />
huge voice.<br />
Do you have a favourite<br />
subject to write about for your<br />
songs?<br />
My latest album, Blue<br />
Lion, was unusual as it was<br />
commissioned by a Buddhist<br />
school in Singapore. Each one<br />
of the songs were supposed to fit<br />
into a particular niche in their<br />
curriculum, such as traditional<br />
Buddhist teachings like refuge<br />
prayer and Manjushri, a mantra<br />
– making these relevant to<br />
the children. Then there was<br />
transitions during the day like<br />
lining up, good mornings and<br />
meal times. Then specific thing<br />
they study like harmony, changes<br />
and community.<br />
Usually I see a situation or<br />
get a feeling and think I’d like<br />
to put it in to a song. Another<br />
of my album’s is called Love<br />
Me Tinder. I wanted to write<br />
a song about internet dating<br />
as I thought it would be fun. I<br />
particularly like songs that are a<br />
little bit funny.<br />
You’ve spoken out about<br />
with other Banks Peninsula<br />
residents recently about<br />
concerns about fire risks, why is<br />
this issue important to you?<br />
For about 10 years I was a<br />
member of the Australian bush<br />
fire brigade and we went to many<br />
fires and also we had two big<br />
fires on the property that I lived<br />
on. These fires would sometimes<br />
last a week to 10 days. Right<br />
across the road from our place in<br />
Corsair are these big eucalyptus<br />
trees which can be so volatile in<br />
heat and fire.<br />
Do you have aany plans for<br />
the next few months?<br />
I’ve got a couple of novels in<br />
the final drafts. Then also I have<br />
this project called the Dharma<br />
Kids Collective. It’s a hub for<br />
artists creating wholesome<br />
content from children influenced<br />
by Buddhist wisdom.

POTENTIAL: The newly-renovated Loons building will provide for<br />
performance venues and much more.<br />
PHOTO: GEOFF SLOAN<br />
Exciting future for<br />
history-rich Loons<br />
Loon’s event manager Jonnie<br />
Emery reflects on Lyttelton’s<br />
iconic building, where it’s<br />
been and what it is today<br />
WITH RENOVATIONS completed<br />
in December last year, the Loons has<br />
transformed into a state-of-the-art live<br />
music and performance venue.<br />
The new two-storey premises at 16<br />
Canterbury St, has undergone major<br />
remodelling after the building was<br />
significantly damaged in the Christchurch<br />
earthquakes.<br />
With overwhelming support from the<br />
local community and the securing of<br />
funding from both community funding<br />
and local sponsorship, the 10-year project<br />
has resulted in a dedicated live music and<br />
performance venue upstairs and bar complete<br />
with beer garden downstairs.<br />
The Loons caters for live music, theatre,<br />
arts, and private venue space for Lyttelton<br />
and the wider Canterbury area.<br />
The building itself has been an integral<br />
and well-known part of the Lyttelton<br />
community for more than a century. Built<br />
in 1905, it housed a range of commercial<br />
premises through to 1944 including a<br />
grocery shop and the Loons garage.<br />
In 1944, the building was purchased by<br />
three watersiders and around that time<br />
the premises was converted to become the<br />
Waterside Workers Social<br />
Club known locally<br />
as ‘The Loons’.<br />
1951 is a significant<br />
year in New Zealand<br />
history. Lyttelton and<br />
its port, along with<br />
others throughout<br />
the country, were<br />
involved in the largest<br />
industrial dispute ever<br />
seen in New Zealand<br />
which lasted for 151<br />
days. Having endured<br />
compulsory overtime<br />
and dangerous working<br />
conditions, watersiders<br />
finally put in an<br />
overtime ban seeking<br />
better conditions and<br />
an end to compulsory<br />
overtime. The government declared a state<br />
of emergency on February 21, 1951.<br />
‘Draconian emergency regulations<br />
imposed rigid censorship, gave police<br />
sweeping powers of search and arrest<br />
and made it an offence for citizens to<br />
assist strikers – even giving food to their<br />
children was outlawed’.<br />
The Waterside Workers Social Club<br />
became the hub of support for the lockedout<br />
workers and their families in Lyttelton<br />
including the distribution of food illegally<br />
donated by people sympathetic to their<br />
cause. The government of the day deregistered<br />
the Waterside Workers Union and<br />
sought to seize its assets. The club became<br />
a different entity – the Lyttelton Working<br />
Mens Club and thus some assets, including<br />
the building itself, were saved.<br />
Thea Mickell, treasurer of The Loons<br />
Club Incorporated, said it is an exciting<br />
new chapter for the building which is so<br />
rich in history.<br />
“It was important to honour and respect<br />
the history of this local institution while<br />
recognizing its new potential and future.<br />
Our goal is to encourage and foster<br />
performing arts, both local and touring<br />
and become the preferred live music and<br />
performance venue in Christchurch.”<br />

• By Mark Henderson<br />
I’VE HAD A soft spot for<br />
Hawke’s <strong>Bay</strong> syrah since<br />
stumbling upon the Stonecroft<br />
cellar door some 30 years ago<br />
and discovering the 1989 syrah:<br />
the inception wine of our<br />
modern syrah category in New<br />
Zealand.<br />
Thirty vintages later, a combination<br />
of vine age, new clonal<br />
material and a wealth of experience<br />
garnered by the winemakers<br />
is seeing some thrilling<br />
offerings.<br />
The vintage of 2018 was warm,<br />
yet not totally trouble-free, but<br />
these labels have risen to the<br />
occasion with wines of depth,<br />
interest and potential.<br />

The Children’s Train<br />
by Viola Ardone<br />
Based on true events, a heartbreaking story of love, family,<br />
hope, and survival set in post-World War II Italy—written with<br />
the heart of Orphan Train and Before We Were Yours—about<br />
poor children from the south sent to live with families in the<br />
north to survive deprivation and the harsh winters. Though<br />
Mussolini and the fascists have been defeated, the war has<br />
devastated Italy, especially the south. Seven-year-old Amerigo lives<br />
with his mother Antonietta in Naples, surviving on odd jobs and his<br />
wits like the rest of the poor in his neighborhood. But one day, Amerigo<br />
learns that a train will take him away from the rubble-strewn streets of<br />
the city to spend the winter with a family in the north, where he will be<br />
safe and have warm clothes and food to eat. Together with thousands of<br />
other southern children, Amerigo will cross the entire peninsula to a new<br />
life. Through his curious, innocent eyes, we see a nation rising from the<br />
ashes of war, reborn. As he comes to enjoy his new surroundings and<br />
the possibilities for a better future, Amerigo will make the heartbreaking<br />
choice to leave his mother and become a member of his adoptive family.<br />
Amerigo’s journey is a moving story of memory, indelible bonds, artistry,<br />
and self-exploration, and a soaring examination of what family can truly<br />
mean. Ultimately Amerigo comes to understand that sometimes we must<br />
give up everything, even a mother’s love, to find our destiny.<br />
The Rose Code<br />
by Kate Quinn<br />
1940, Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire. Three very different women are<br />
recruited to the mysterious Bletchley Park, where the best minds in Britain train<br />
to break German military codes. Vivacious debutante Osla has the dashing<br />
Prince Philip of Greece sending her roses – but she burns to prove herself as<br />
more than a society girl, working to translate decoded enemy secrets. Selfmade<br />
Mab masters the legendary codebreaking machines as she conceals old<br />
wounds and the poverty of her East-End London upbringing. And shy local girl<br />
Beth is the outsider who trains as one of the Park’s few female cryptanalysts.<br />
1947, London. Seven years after they first meet, on the eve of the royal<br />
wedding between Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip, disaster threatens.<br />
Osla, Mab and Beth are estranged, their friendship torn apart by secrets and<br />
betrayal. Yet now they must race against the clock to crack one final code<br />
together, before it’s too late, for them and for their country.<br />

Triathlon stars set to light<br />
up the Sea2Sky Challenge<br />
The Brad Richards Building Sea2Sky<br />
Challenge <strong>2021</strong> will boast a stellar line up<br />
this year with the majority of New Zealands<br />
olympic triathlon hopefuls heading to<br />
Sumner on 14th <strong>March</strong>.<br />
The annual Challenge offers an end of<br />
summer test for the serious athlete as well<br />
as those that just want to give it a try. The<br />
sixth edition of the challenge has partnered<br />
with local company Brad Richards Building<br />
as this year’s principal race sponsor.<br />
Director and Redcliffs resident Brad<br />
Richards completed the 17km run last year<br />
“we are so lucky to have such an incredible<br />
run right on our door step. The section from<br />
Godley Head back to the clocktower is<br />
stunning but tough on the legs with all the<br />
ups and downs”.<br />
The <strong>2021</strong> event will see Olympic triathlon<br />
hopefuls jostle for bragging rights, as well<br />
as over $5000 prize purse. Hayden Wilde,<br />
a rising star of world triathlon and potential<br />
olympic medalist has confirmed his entry,<br />
along with former world Under 23 years<br />
champion Tayler Reid, top international Sam<br />
Ward and local professional Saxon Morgan.<br />
The women’s field will include former<br />
Under 23 years World Champion Rebecca<br />
Spence up against Nicole Van der Kaay,<br />
Commonwealth Games relay medallist, as<br />
well as highly regarded Ainsley Thorpe and<br />
Sophie Corbidge.<br />
The event was the brainchild of Sumner<br />
resident and triathlon legend Dr John<br />
Hellemans whose grand children are now<br />
amongst the participants in the kids event,<br />
“in the early days of triathlon it was all a<br />
bit of an adventure, this event brings some<br />
of that adventure back to a sport that has<br />
become quite structured - it’s also great to<br />
see all the kids involved”.<br />
As well as the elite racing there are events<br />
for all ages and abilities with a duathlon<br />
option, 17km run, Junior racing and kids<br />
Aquathon. One of the oldest competitors<br />
and a regular on the Christchurch triathlon<br />
scene, John Gordon, 81 years young will<br />
also be out there competing.<br />

Plenty of options in funky Yaris<br />
FROM STARLET to Echo to<br />
Yaris, Toyota’s small car range<br />
has been widely accepted in New<br />
Zealand through the years.<br />
I’d have expected nothing less,<br />
each of those models represented<br />
efficiency, practicality and<br />
longevity.<br />
Yaris is still around, just recently<br />
a new-generation model<br />
landed in New Zealand and it<br />
also gets a new three-cylinder<br />
engine that is a bit of a departure<br />
for Toyota.<br />
Nevertheless, in the three drives<br />
I had in that model last year it<br />
quickly charmed me with its<br />
honesty and overall performance.<br />
What’s more, there are also<br />
hybrid options in Yaris, Toyota’s<br />
formidable electric drive system<br />
hooked to the three-potter.<br />
Toyota has now gone one step<br />
further, the Yaris is also available<br />
as Yaris Cross, a funkier car that<br />
is also a little larger all round.<br />
Notably, it is also taller, 30mm<br />
added to the ride height. That<br />
might not seem like much, but it<br />
does make a significant difference<br />
to those who aren’t quite so agile,<br />
entry and egress is much easier,<br />
and ground clearance is just<br />
that little bit more user-friendly.<br />
With the extra length there is<br />
more space inside in which to be<br />
comfortable.<br />
Interestingly, Toyota claims<br />
the Yaris Cross sits in the sport<br />
utility vehicle category, I’m a little<br />
ambivalent on that, I’m suggesting<br />
it’s more of a crossover model,<br />
that is also represented in the<br />
name.<br />
The Yaris Cross shares much the<br />
same driveline componentry as its<br />
stablemates, there are three models<br />
and, as you would have guessed,<br />
there are two hybrid options. This<br />
is some indication of where Toyota<br />
sees the use of fossil fuel and its<br />
environmental impacts. Never<br />
before have New Zealand buyers<br />
seen such a prolific array of hybrid<br />
options, and full credit to Toyota,<br />
the drivelines fit the concept of<br />
Yaris, in all forms, well.<br />
Prices for the Yaris Cross start<br />
at a tempting $29,990 for the<br />
GX-specification petrol-only<br />
model, an extra $4000 will get<br />
you into a GX hybrid, while the<br />
range-topping Limited hybrid sits<br />
at $38,990.<br />
This evaluation focuses on the<br />
two hybrids, and just like the car<br />
it is based on the hybrid system<br />
is something rather special.<br />
Firstly, I’m sold on three-cylinder<br />
engines, and the torquey<br />
characteristics of it hooked to the<br />
surge you get from electric power<br />
makes the Yaris Cross feel rather<br />
feisty. Acceleration from all areas<br />
is surprisingly swift, it will make<br />
100km/h from a standstill in<br />
11.4sec and will power through a<br />
highway overtake in around 7sec<br />
(80-120km/h).<br />
Toyota claims outputs of 67kW<br />
and 120Nm from the 1490cc<br />
petrol engine, add in an extra<br />
TRENDY: The Yaris Cross sits on the outer periphery of the<br />
sport utility vehicle market.<br />
TOYOTA YARIS CROSS: Hybrid or petrol-only drivelines.<br />
18kW of electric energy and it<br />
all equates to very respectable<br />
figures.<br />
Of course, we all relate to fuel<br />
efficiency when the term hybrid<br />
is used, and Toyota lists the Yaris<br />
Cross hybrid with a 3.8-litre per<br />
100km/h combined cycle average.<br />
That’s pretty much the same as<br />
the standard Yaris at 3.4l/100km<br />
and sits well with the 5l/100km<br />
figure during my time in both<br />
evaluation cars. At 100km/h there<br />
is a 4l/100km return instantaneously.<br />
When I picked up both<br />
vehicles they were full of fuel,<br />
each registering a 500km distance<br />
before refuelling, that’s quite impressive<br />
and I have no doubt that<br />
would be achievable.<br />
Bear in mind that the hybrid<br />
system is working constantly to<br />
prevent the internal combustion<br />
engine firing. Depending on<br />
throttle application and how you<br />
drive, considerable fuel savings<br />
can be made. It’s the best of both<br />
worlds really, fuel saving and<br />
solid boost when acceleration is<br />
required. That’s something that<br />
Toyota has done well with its<br />
hybrid system, and as further<br />
development comes through that<br />
equation will only be increased<br />
in time.<br />
As it is now I find the system<br />
quite remarkable even to the<br />
point where I’ve said many times<br />
before that I’d be tempted into a<br />
• Price – Toyota Yaris Cross<br />
hybrid GX, $33,990;<br />
Limited, $38,990<br />
• Dimensions – Length,<br />
4180mm; width, 1765mm;<br />
height, 1590mm<br />
• Configuration – Threecylinder,<br />
front-wheeldrive,<br />
1490cc, 67kW,<br />
120Nm, continuously<br />
variable automatic.<br />
• Performance –<br />
0-100km/h, 11.4sec<br />
• Fuel usage – 3.8l/100km<br />
hybrid, it’s doing just that little<br />
bit for the environment as well as<br />
getting a purposeful drive.<br />
Of course, the energy from<br />
both drive elements is channelled<br />
through a continuously variable<br />
transmission, it offers a seamless<br />
flow of energy and ratio change.<br />
The Yaris Cross is also a decent<br />
type of handler. Sure, with its<br />
extra height there are gravitational<br />
compromises, but the steering and<br />
overall balance is biased towards<br />
dynamic, there is solid steering<br />
feedback and precise corner turnin<br />
even in the base model which<br />
has tyres significantly smaller in<br />
diameter than the Limited.<br />
My testing time in the Limited<br />
was perfect. A blustery nor’west<br />
wind was belting the Canterbury<br />
Plains, it was a good test of<br />
Toyota’s crosswind assist safety<br />
program. It was quite noticeable<br />
in the way it corrected and<br />
adjusted steering to compensate.<br />
That’s just one part of Toyota’s<br />
extensive suite of safety technologies<br />
finding their way across the<br />
whole product range.<br />
Not only are safety features<br />
extensive in the Yaris Cross, well,<br />
the entire Yaris range actually,<br />
there are high levels of specification<br />
for comfort and convenience.<br />
Even in base model form<br />
there is still plenty to satisfy long<br />
after a purchase. What’s more,<br />
the trim materials and cosmetic<br />
detailing is high quality, adding to<br />
the comfort levels.<br />
I’d be happy with the GX model<br />
at $34k, but for those who do step<br />
up to Limited specification it’s nice<br />
to know you get a few extra goodies<br />
such as satellite navigation,<br />
head-up display, cloth and leather<br />
trim with heated front seats.<br />
Toyota hasn’t stopped there<br />
with Yaris and development of<br />
the three-cylinder concept. I’m<br />
due to drive the GR Yaris soon, as<br />
its nomenclature suggests it gets<br />
treatment from Toyota’s performance<br />
arm Gazoo Racing. The<br />
GR gets hefty turbocharged boost<br />
and a whole host of go-faster<br />
goodies. I can’t wait for that drive.<br />
In the interim, I’m also scheduled<br />
into the petrol-only Cross,<br />
I’m sure the entire range is going<br />
to leave a solid impression on me.<br />

ADVERTISING FEATURE<br />
Showcasing traditional grandeur on a seaside<br />
street of significance, Lochranza, a heritagelisted<br />
home, presents buyers with the chance<br />
to secure a slice of history on an 'as is, where<br />
is' basis.<br />
Overlooking Lyttelton's picturesque harbour,<br />
this waterfront property was constructed in<br />
1892 and served as a mayoral residence.<br />
Exuding character and charm, the home<br />
firmly highlights the craftsmanship and<br />
enduring design elements of the late Victorian<br />
era. A first-floor main bedroom has been<br />
renovated and is fitted with bespoke furnishings,<br />
a sizeable walk-in wardrobe and a superbly<br />
tiled ensuite, offering just a hint of what could<br />
be achieved by a full-scale refurbishment.<br />
This flows through to the sun-drenched<br />
upper balcony, the perfect spot to enjoy your<br />
morning coffee overlooking the marina Te Ana.<br />
Grand living spaces are settled within the<br />
substantial 270sqm floor plan, along with five<br />
bedrooms and two bathrooms, offering plenty<br />
of space for families or those who run a homebased<br />
business. The central living zone is<br />
beautifully arranged, with a grand dining<br />
room, separate library, and a fabulous front<br />
room with stunning harbour views. The<br />
generously sized approx 685m² section is<br />
magnificently landscaped with framed areas<br />
providing the perfect backdrop for young<br />
children and avid entertainers.<br />
This vast home is kept comfortable by three<br />
heat pumps and additional insulation, while<br />
a single garage completes the package.<br />
Godley Quay, iconic in this waterside suburb,<br />
is renowned for its historic homes. Located<br />
only a stroll from Lyttelton's hub of cafes and<br />
bars, it's also near the school and weekly local<br />
market, ensuring you aren't far from the<br />
community's many conveniences.<br />
This is a unique project for those wanting the<br />
privilege of resuming the renovation and<br />
enhancing the home's natural beauty for<br />
themselves. It's expected to attract considerable<br />
attention, and buyers should act with<br />
appropriate haste.<br />

10 Years On<br />
February 22, 2011 - <strong>2021</strong>
Christchurch 6.3 Earthquake 10 Years On<br />
Christchurch earthquake 10 years on<br />
a pictorial snapshot of how Christchurch is moving forward<br />
Steve McCaughan<br />
General Manager<br />
This week marked 10 years since the devastating<br />
February 6.3 earthquake, which struck Christchurch<br />
killing 185 people, injuring thousands, and leaving a trail<br />
of destruction.<br />
It is a time none of us will ever forget. But I am filled<br />
with pride when I recall the efforts and actions of<br />
everyday Cantabrians in the weeks following. To all the<br />
professionals, volunteers and the countless unsung<br />
heroes who helped our recovery, I want to thank you for<br />
your tireless work. The kindness and actions of people<br />
in many ways all accumulated to help us all get through.<br />
It did make a difference and made me proud to be part<br />
of the Canterbury tribe. I also want to acknowledge and<br />
thank my team at Star Media, publishers of <strong>Bay</strong> <strong>Harbour</strong><br />
News. With our building and press destroyed in the<br />
February quake, we were in a perilous position. I recall<br />
meeting with my senior team, first thing the next morning<br />
at McDonalds Riccarton (they still had power on), and<br />
we planned to publish a daily newspaper from a double<br />
garage at our IT manager’s home. We did this for several<br />
weeks, until we moved into the St Albans Cricket Club in<br />
Hagley Park. The tenacity and resilience shown by our<br />
people at the time was tremendous. It ensured we kept<br />
Christchurch connected and informed, with vital updates<br />
and information for those weeks following.<br />
Our story was just one of thousands, where Cantabrians<br />
rallied, picked themselves back up and just got on with it.<br />
We all battled the odds and the 11,000-odd aftershocks<br />
that followed. We all had our<br />
own personal journey and<br />
challenges to deal with. We<br />
should stand proud of the<br />
recovery we have all made.<br />
Today we are publishing a<br />
pictorial look at our city 10 years on and the progress<br />
made. We still have more work to do yet, but I am excited<br />
about the fact that everyday our city just gets better and<br />
is constantly improving.<br />
In the words of CHCHNZ – “We are a city where you can<br />
choose how to live your life – surrounded by stunning<br />
natural landscapes”.<br />
John Bridgman<br />
Chief Executive Otakaro Ltd<br />
We’re planning to hold the first events towards the end of<br />
this year.<br />
I start with that because the question about when Te Pae<br />
Christchurch Convention Centre will be open is the one I’m<br />
most often greeted with.<br />
It’s great that there is such anticipation around this Crown-led anchor project and it’s<br />
not the only one to get excited about, as we push to get all our spaces and places<br />
completed by the end of next year.<br />
In April we’ll be opening the North Frame pedestrian bridge, the final element to be<br />
added to the largest ever public realm transformation undertaken in New Zealand –<br />
Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon River Precinct.<br />
We’re working on the final few hundred metres of the South Frame. This new, gardenlined<br />
cycle and pedestrian laneway across the city should be near complete come<br />
the end of the year.<br />
And the Metro Sports Facility has become hard to miss on Moorhouse Ave, as we<br />
look to complete construction of the nine indoor courts and eleven pools and spas by<br />
the end of next year.<br />
This leads to another common question – Why has it taken this long?<br />
I can only speak for the time since Ōtākaro Ltd was established early in 2016. By then<br />
a lot of significant planning and demolition work had been done, but many sites were<br />
still bare. So off we went, asked by the Government to deliver some of the largest<br />
horizontal and vertical infrastructure projects in the country, in a relatively confined<br />
space, on tricky ground, with a stretched construction sector and a global pandemic<br />
at the tail end. It was a big ask and I am proud of what we have achieved so far.<br />
The reality is the regeneration of Christchurch will never be finished, and you wouldn’t<br />
want it to be.<br />
In the near future this city is going to be home to some of the best business, sports<br />
and recreation facilities in New Zealand. The Crown and Council have tackled the big<br />
stuff, the hard stuff, the infrastructure that will draw the masses in and set Christchurch<br />
up for success for generations to come. The next stage in the city’s evolution is what<br />
happens in the spaces in between.<br />
Lianne Dalziel<br />
Christchurch Mayor<br />
An anniversary is a time when we come together to<br />
remember the events of the day and to reflect on all that<br />
means to us.<br />
The 10th anniversary of the February 22, 2011 earthquake<br />
recalls the loss of 185 lives, and the impact this had had on<br />
their families and friends. Our hearts go out to all of them<br />
both here in New Zealand and in the 20 other countries where they came from.<br />
We also remember those who were injured or experienced trauma on that day. For<br />
many there is no erasing of the memory of what occurred, nor the scars – seen and<br />
unseen – that remain.<br />
We acknowledge the changes to our laws, requiring buildings to be built to stronger<br />
seismic standards, as well as decisions to retrofit buildings, that have made our city<br />
safer than it was. Lessons we have learned here have been shared across New<br />
Zealand and the world, leaving a legacy that will help protect lives in the future.<br />
And we again express our gratitude for all those who tried to help save lives regardless<br />
of their own safety on that day, and all those who helped over the days and weeks<br />
that followed.<br />
I often think about the thousands of people who flooded the damaged suburbs<br />
with support. I think of the existing community leaders who stepped up in their own<br />
communities and the emergent leaders who, like Sam Johnson and the team who<br />
set up the Student Volunteer Army. The SVA is an enduring example of the legacy<br />
they have left.<br />
We also remember that this was the earthquake that changed our landscape forever,<br />
seeing thousands of residents forced from their homes and communities.<br />
The promise that now sits in the Ōtakaro Avon River Corridor Regeneration Plan is<br />
another legacy for the future.<br />
When we experience loss on this scale, it can be hard at the time to gauge the sheer<br />
enormity of the recovery that lies ahead.<br />
When I look along Oxford Tce by the Bridge of Remembrance, that one snapshot<br />
helps me see the essence of what we imagined we could be when we contributed to<br />
‘Share an Idea’. And that always gives me optimism for the future of our city.<br />

Over the past five years, Shine Lawyers has acted for hundreds of<br />
Canterbury home owners in resolving their claims against EQC and<br />
their private insurance companies.<br />
Mobeena Hills, Christchurch Branch Manager, says “Even ten years on, we are still seeing<br />
clients who are coming to us needing help to resolve their outstanding earthquake claims.<br />
I am privileged to be in the position I am in, to take the burden off my clients’ shoulders and<br />
obtain what they are rightfully entitled to – it’s what gets me out of bed in the morning.”<br />
Shine Lawyers pride itself on being a different kind of law firm, offering a “go-to” legal team<br />
who provide an initial consultation, free of charge, to take the time to listen and understand<br />
your individual needs.<br />
“A lot of my clients say to me that they feel<br />
bogged down dealing with EQC and their<br />
insurer. On top of their busy work and<br />
family lives, they find themselves having<br />
to learn about the Building Code and their<br />
policy entitlements. This is where Shine<br />
Lawyers come in. Come and talk to us,<br />
you have nothing to lose”.<br />

Turning spaces into<br />
places for people<br />
Ōtākaro Limited is about three-quarters of the way through its work<br />
delivering the Crown-led Anchor Projects for the people of Christchurch<br />
Te Pae Christchurch<br />
Convention Centre<br />
Set to be New Zealand’s only purpose-built convention and<br />
exhibition centre when it opens towards the end of the year. Te<br />
Pae is expected to generate around $600m worth of economic<br />
activity in our region over the next decade.<br />
Metro Sports Facility<br />
With eleven pools and spas, five hydroslides and space for nine<br />
indoor netball courts, it will be the largest sports and recreation<br />
venue of its kind in New Zealand. The first pools are going in now<br />
and construction is expected to be completed around the end of<br />
next year.<br />
East Frame<br />
Made up of the central city’s third<br />
largest public space, Rauora Park, and<br />
Fletcher Living’s One Central residential<br />
development. Around 200 homes have<br />
now been sold and demand continues to<br />
grow from people wanting to be a part of<br />
this burgeoning neighbourhood.<br />
South Frame<br />
A new garden-lined pedestrian and cycle<br />
route across the city away from traffic<br />
on St Asaph St and Tuam St. Filled with<br />
sculptures, murals and stones and plants<br />
of cultural significance, the South Frame<br />
is expected to be complete around the<br />
end of this year.<br />
Te Papa Ōtākaro/Avon<br />
River Precinct<br />
Stretching along the river from the hospital to<br />
Fitzgerald Ave, the largest ever public realm<br />
transformation undertaken in New Zealand<br />
will be complete in April with the opening of<br />
the North Frame pedestrian bridge.<br />
Most projects will be completed by the end of next year. There is plenty to keep an eye on.
