Call for
public
consultation
over disposal
of Diamond
Harbour land
• By Samantha Mythen
THE CITY council is calling for
submissions on the disposal of
Diamond Harbour land included
in its Long Term Plan.
However, Diamond Harbour
resident Richard Suggate believes
disposal of the land requires
public consultation not just submissions,
due to the many issues
of concern to the
community that
would arise from
sale of the land.
The land runs
between village
housing and
Bay View Rd,
described as 27 Richard
Hunters Rd and Suggate
42 Where Ave.
This area was originally purchased
by the Banks Peninsula
council for future zoning and it
currently sits as city council freehold
with district plan zoning.
Suggate is calling for the
community to submit to the LTP,
asking the land be removed from
the plan.

Disappointment at supermarket closure
• By Samantha Mythen
END OF AN ERA: The Redcliffs Four Square supermarket
will close its doors on April 24.
SHOPPERS ARE disappointed
but not surprised about the
impending closure of the Four
Square supermarket in Redcliffs.
Foodstuffs has announced the
supermarket will close its doors
on April 24.
Imre Speizer lives in Sumner
and often shopped at Four
Square.
“I am displeased at the closing,
however, I am not surprised
as the number of shoppers was
always dwindling,” he said.
When the Four Square reopened
as New World in 2015
after being rebuilt as a result
of earthquake damage, Speizer
thought it would slowly take off.
In a normal, non-Covid world,
it would have grown in use, he
said.
However, the shop re-branded
as Four Square in June 2020, a
move Speizer said, was too hasty.
“If the goal was to increase the
numbers of shoppers, the brand
change did not make sense,’’
Speizer said.
“Four Square typically being
more expensive than other
supermarkets.’’
Nancy Meherne is 92-years-old
and also lives in Sumner. She said
she will be sad to see the shop
close because of its convenience,
however, she usually shops at
Countdown in Ferrymead anyway
because it is much cheaper.
Said Meherne: “It is understandable
it is closing. There
weren’t ever many people there,
sometimes I was the only one.”
Margaret McKie, agreed with
Meherne on her sentiments of
shopping somewhere cheaper –
she usually does her larger shops
at Pak’n Save.
Said Tim Donaldson, general
manager retail, Foodstuffs South
Island: “We would like to thank
our loyal Redcliffs customers for
supporting the store over the last
20 years – it’s always a sad day to
close a store and we very much
wish things had turned out differently.”
Foodstuffs South Island is
looking at alternative options for
the use of the building following
closure, which may include
selling or leasing the site.

will you shop now? Email

DISPLEASED: Sumner
resident Imre Speize is
disappointed Four Square
will close.
UPSET: Sumner resident

closure is understandable
because of the lack of
customers.

Mountain bike club now has
voice in reserves committee
• By Samantha Mythen
MOUNTAIN BIKERS now have a voice
in the contentious Lyttelton Reserves
Management Committee.
At a committee meeting on March 22,
Joshua Merriam, treasurer for the Lyttelton
Mountain Bike Club, was nominated
and voted to join the group, which
manages the upkeep of Lyttelton
reserves.
He was appointed to the
committee after the resignation
of members Sarah Amazzinia
and Omar Seycehll in March had
Joshua
Merriam
opened up two new places. Rewi
Couch was also voted on to the
committee.
The day after Merriam was
appointed, the Banks Peninsula
Community Board met with the committee
to address complaints received over
alleged mismanagement and inaction.
Banks Peninsula Community Board
chairwoman Tori Peden said: “We had
heard complaints but hadn’t heard the
committee’s side.”
Merriam said the main concern raised
was that not all users of the reserve were
being heard and their perspectives taken
into account.
“The good work the committee was
doing was also acknowledged but this
didn’t negate the fact that some groups
are being shut out and not listened to.”
Peden explained the outcome from the
meeting was the realisation better communication
was needed.
“We have to clear up the miscommunication
and frustration and be on the
same page.”
Peden believes it is important the
reserves committee has representation
from all of the user groups.
“With Josh now on the committee, it is
a move in the right direction. The committee
can really hear from the mountain
bike community.”
Merriam has been campaigning
for the approval of track upgrades
at the entrance of Urumau Reserve
since 2018.
The track in question is a component
of the 2018 Urumau Development
Plan. After the Urumau
Development Plan was passed last
term, city council staff had put aside
money and resources for the track
to become official.
However, no progress had been made
since then to actually approve the access
track into the reserve. Instead the track
is still classified as a “proposed track,” in
spite of being used by both mountain bikers
and walkers alike to access the track.
Peden explained this issue was cleared
up at the meeting.
Said Peden: “The staff are there to help
with funding and resources. We are not
asking the reserves committee to do the
work themselves.”
Peden is hoping to receive a report on the
next steps for the track by early May and
then for the track to be in place by July.
Merriam officially presented a petition
asking for the track to be approved to
the latest community board meeting on
Monday with 104 signatures.

“Forward and back discussions
are needed, as there are complex
issues involved,” he said.
“If the land was sold, there is
no public consultation requirement
for the developer.”
Without public consultation,
Suggate believes the action would
contravene section 82 of the
Local Government Act.
Said Diamond Harbour Community
Association chairman
Nathan Graham: “We think the
LTP is not the appropriate vehicle
for land disposal. There needs to
be more consultation with the
community before the property
is sold.”
Suggate explained the area is
about one-third of the current
Diamond Harbour area in size,
running across the back of the
village, adjacent to many houses.
Sale of the land could result in
200-300 more houses being built.
“Diamond Harbour is a stand
alone community and the area
concerned is a large chunk of
land, right next to where people
live,” Suggate said.
“It is not just a random subdivision,
rather it would be adding
on to an existing settlement
which has developed and grown
slowly over time. People are
interested in what will happen if
the land is sold.”
Graham agreed that the land
sale would affect the wider community
and thus they need a say
in how it is developed.
“The community needs a say
in how they want Diamond
Harbour to be in the next 20-30
years.”
However, city council head of
facilities, property and planning
Bruce Rendall said there has not
been any attempt to fast track
disposal of the land.
Rendall explained recent
changes have increased community
input alongside allowing for
consideration of the financial
implications of decisions.
“The LTP process requires
extensive consultation, ensuring
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
that there is a wide variety of
input into decisions. Local interests
can be considered, through
individual submissions and community
board input, as well as
broader ratepayer considerations.
Within the land is Morgan’s
and Sam’s gullies. Volunteers
have been working for a number
of years to restore these areas
with native vegetation. It is hoped
the gullies will eventually become
reserves but they are yet to
be protected by covenants.
Suggate said if the land was
sold before the gullies were covenanted,
the reserves committee
volunteers would have to deal
with the new developers who
own the land.
“The council would wash their
hands of the responsibility.
Rendall said actions to protect
these gullies are well advanced.
Suggate said another issue is
that the land boundaries are
currently infused with residents’
daily activities. Some people
have built private gardens over
the years. There is a track to
Diamond Harbour School, which
is used daily by students.
Other factors regarding
infrastructure also need to be
considered such as, if more
houses are built, the school

Bruce Rendall
would need to increase in size,
Suggate said.
“Maybe some of the land could
be set aside for the school’s expansion
as it backs on to the area.
This would need to be decided
before the land’s disposal.”
Furthermore, Suggate said
the roads leading to the area are
narrow and are not suitable for
increased traffic and the village’s
wastewater system is failing.
“The council should think
about other ways to use the land,
like whether it should be sold in
one go or sold in bits.”
Said Suggate: “Public
consultation will change the
way any future subdivision is
undertaken and will better reflect
what the community want to
have.”
Suggate shared these views at
the Banks Peninsula Community
Board meeting on Monday, supported
by the Diamond Harbour
Community Association.
Board chairwoman Tori Peden
agreed with Suggate, saying the
LTP was the wrong process for
the land sale.
“We are asking the city council
that this be taken out of the LTP
and be put through a public
consultation process.”
Rendall acknowledged the
city council will consider the
feedback received from the public
submissions before deciding the
next steps relating to the land.

AKAROA AREA School
students have once again crossed
the harbour in home-made rafts,
replicating a journey explorer
Frank Worsley once made when
he was a young boy.
A group of
17 year 9 and
year 10 students
constructed
their own rafts,
paddles and sails
and attempted
to cross the 4km
distance from
the Akaroa Boat
shed to Tikao Bay.
Students Tai Bristowe, Tilly
Davies, Lily Roberston and
Mason Rogal were first across in
a record time of 2hr and 7min,
beating the previous record of
2hr and 10min.
Said Tilly: “It was an event that
really brought our team together
and gave us memories we will
never forget.”
The challenge reflects the
adventurous feat of Worsley and
his brother, Henry.
Worsley was born in
Akaroa in 1872. At 10-years-old,
he delivered a horse to Wainui
with Henry. Instead of walking
the long journey back home,
the two boys made a raft and
paddled back across the

Gary Brittenden: “The event
really pushes the students
physically and emotionally. They
know the task will not be easy

accomplishment when they do

Brittenden explained, for the

students have been attempting
to replicate Worsley’s feat. It is
now a multi-curricular project
involving social science, mathematics,
science, technology, PE

Only about one third of the

“It really is a challenge for the

of when they make it,” Brittenden
said.
“This year two teams made it

THE END of the 20/21 financial

it has been a big year for the
Sumner Ferrymead Foundation
in so many ways.
THe trustees

raise the
profile of the

they worked
with local creative Stephen
McCarthy to revamp the look of
the brand.
THe new brand was used to
launch a range of scholarships
and awards, and to develop new
collateral to promote the work of
the foundation.
“As a result, there has been
a significant increase in the
number of grants we have given
out this year which is gratifying
on so many levels,” treasurer
Barry Geddes said.

locals too.

they can help us to help others,
Geddes said.
People can give a donation for
a nominated project (eg sponsoring
a specific scholarship) or it
can be a discretionary donation
which is where the trustees use
the donation to fund grants,
scholarships and awards for residents
in the catchment area.
There is also the option to
leave a bequest which is where
you leave instructions in your
will about your donation.
“I’d be happy to chat to
anyone if they have any queries,
as would any trustee,” Geddes
said.
Meanwhile, there are a number
of locals – individuals, clubs,
schools and the community
- who are benefiting from the
work of the Sumner Ferrymead
Foundation.
Support this year has gone
to competitive cyclist Amelia
Sykes for her new wheels, Taylors
Mistake Surf Life Saving Club

and Sumner Community

Council to
stop accepting
cheques
for payment
THE CITY council will no longer
accept cheques as a payment
method from the end of this
month.
Acting general manager
resources Diane Brandish said
the council will not be accepting
cheque payments from April 30,
2021, because the ANZ, BNZ and
Westpac are phasing out cheques
in May and June.
Brandish said there are other
payment options available to residents
including internet banking,
telephone banking, automatic
payment, credit card or in person
with cash and Eftpos at any council
service centre.
“Rates can also be paid by
monthly or quarterly direct debit,”
she said.
“The advantage of a direct
debit compared to an automatic
payment is that the amount being
paid doesn’t need to be adjusted
every new rating year.
“Direct debits always take the
exact amount being asked for on
the rates demand, meaning residents
never get behind on their
rates.”

HECTOR’S dolphins advocate
Genevieve Robinson is
demanding better marine
protection of the dolphins.
Robinson delivered a legal
opinion to Environmental Canterbury
on Monday, challenging
its lack of action in protecting
hector’s dolphins.
She is asking
for stronger protections
of the
dolphins from
trawl fishing and
gillnetting. Under
the Fisheries
Act, trawlors can
operate within
two nautical miles
from shore.
Robinson hopes ECan will act
urgently, either banning gillnetting
and trawling in the Hector’s
dolphins habitat or banning
both fishing activities within 12
nautical miles from shore.
Robinson engaged prominent
Resource Management Act
lawyer James Gardner-Hopkins,
after becoming increasingly
frustrated by ECan’s failure to
uphold its duties in protecting
the dolphins.

During last year’s lockdown,
Robinson routinely monitored
fisheries activities in the Banks
Peninsula through online apps.
“While we were locked up in
our homes, fisheries carried on
as usual, working as an essential
service,” she said.
Robinson then discovered,
through an Official Information
Act request, a hector’s dolphin
had been caught by a fishing
vessel in March.
The fishermen at the time had
reported this to the Department
of Conservation, which then
notified Conservation Minister
Eugenie Sage.
However, the public were only
told of the dolphin by-catch five
months later.
Said Robinson: “Hector’s are
still being caught. It goes on. We
know it goes on.”
Robinson believes change
needs to occur around the way
fishing is allowed in areas where
there are also large populations
of hector’s dolphins.
“The problem is the marine
sanctuary in the Banks Peninsula
is not doing its job,” Robinson
said.
“It is only a sanctuary in terms
of protecting the dolphins from
seismic surveys and mining.
Sanctuary is a word that looks
good on paper but it doesn’t play
out its proper role based on the
public’s conservation expectations.”
In the letter, Gardner-Hopkins
acknowledges ECan has the
power to impose controls of fishing
through its regional coastal
environmental plan in order to
protect hector’s dolphins.
“ECan can make protective
changes overnight. If they go by
the books, it will take too long.
We need urgent action on this,”
said Robinson.
Robinson has previously called
out the Lyttelton Port Company
on its cruise berth construction
plans.
Prior to her first sighting of
hector’s dolphins in 2013, she did
not know New Zealand had an
endemic dolphin species.
Since then, she has been working
“non-stop,” to advocate for
their protection.

GOVERNORS Bay School
pupils want a sign in memory of
Hilda Frame to be put up in the
reserve opposite the school.
Six pupils, along with deputy
principal Liza Rossie, spoke
about the idea at the Banks
Peninsula Community Board
meeting on Monday.
The children want a sign to be
put in place, naming the reserve
as Hilda Frame Reserve, with a
QR code that can be scanned to
show photos of Frame and some
information on her story.
The reserve, on the corner of
Main Rd and Cresswell Ave is
the site of the Governors Bay
community centre and swimming
pool.
Hilda Frame bequeathed this
area of land to the community
after her death in 1981.
Born in 1900, Frame lived
there in a small cottage, where
for more than 50 years she took
care of more than 300 orphan
children, standing in as their
foster mother. She was awarded
the British Empire Medal for her
service.
Last year, the junior school
did an inquiry into “Our Place,
community and reserves,” and
learned about how they could be
guardians of their reserves.
During this study, they discovered
Frame’s story shared in
the 1868 Governors Bay School
building.
Rossie explained they all felt
surprised there was no signage
about Frame in the park and
decided to work towards putting
one in place.
“The reserve is currently called
4673, we think Hilda Frame is
a much better name for it,” said

At the board meeting, the
pupils said they wanted people
to remember Frame and what
she did.
Pupil Xavier said: “This is
about helping with the history of
Governors Bay.”
Rossie and the parents who
attended the meeting felt very
proud of the children for speaking
about this idea.
Banks Peninsula Community
Board chairwoman Tori
FOSTER MUM: Hilda Frame
looked after more than 300
orphaned children during
her lifetime.
Peden said they supported the
children’s idea and would speak
to city council staff about how
they can help make this idea a
reality.
City council heritage conservation
project planner Victoria
Bliss called the children: “true
kaitiaki.”
“This is everything protecting
heritage should be about. We
are passing stories from one
generation to the next. It is about
encouraging tamariki to know
where they’ve come from.”
Bliss is helping the pupils
with their application for an
intangible heritage grant to help
fund the signage.

LPC principal
sponsor for
conservation
trust
THIS YEAR, Lyttelton Port
Company has increased its level
of support of the Banks Peninsula
Conservation Trust to that of
principal partner.
BPCT is a not-for-profit organisation
that works with the community,
government agencies,
iwi, and businesses to protect the
peninsula’s natural environment.
The principal partner role sees a
doubling of funds provided to the
trust, which general manager Maree
Burnett said would make a real
difference for the organisation.
LPC has been a significant
supporter of BPCT since 2014
when the organisations partnered
to implement the Port Saddle restoration
project on 17ha of port
land in Lyttelton. The partnership
represents working towards realising
LPC’s sustainability goal of
being positive biodiversity.
Head of environment and
sustainability, Kim Kelleher,
said continuing to develop LPC’s
relationship with the trust is
fundamental to playing the port’s
part for nature.
Burnett said protecting the
peninsula’s biodiversity is a long
term journey. She said aligning
with like-minded organisations,
such as LPC, along the way is key.

My Darling Lemon Thyme...
Every Day
by Emma Galloway
Over 100 vegetarian recipes, flavour-packed + gluten-free
Spiced pumpkin snacking cake, Pea, mint + halloumi fritters,
Mushroom + lentil lasagne, and Roasted strawberry + ginger
‘ice cream’ are among the beautiful, nourishing, simple-to-make
and absolutely delicious recipes celebrated in Emma Galloway’s
third book from her home kitchen.
Everyday food should be quick and easy, using readily available ingredients
and simple techniques. Over years working as a chef and as a mother of two,
Emma has designed tips and tricks to make cooking simpler through planning
ahead and using ingredients that are easy to swap out. Dotted throughout
My Darling Lemon Thyme: Every Day, you will find ‘anything’ recipes to suit
your tastes and whatever ingredients you have to hand. All the recipes are
vegetarian, flavour-packed and gluten free - recipes you can trust, for every
season, every day.
Elizabeth & Margaret
The Intimate World of the Windsor Sisters
by Andrew Morton
They were the closest of sisters and the best of friends. But when, in a quixotic
twist of fate, their uncle Edward VIII decided to abdicate the throne, the dynamic
between Elizabeth and Margaret was dramatically altered. Forever more, Margaret
would have to curtsey to the sister she called ‘Lillibet’. And bow to her wishes.
Elizabeth would always look upon her younger sister’s antics with a kind of
stoical amusement but Margaret’s struggle to find a place and position inside the
royal system - and her fraught relationship with its expectations - was often a
source of tension. Famously, the Queen had to inform Margaret that the Church
and government would not countenance her marrying a divorcee, Group Captain
Peter Townsend, forcing Margaret to choose between keeping her title and royal
allowances or her divorcee lover. From the idyll of their cloistered early life, through
their hidden wartime lives, into the divergent paths they took following their father’s
death and Elizabeth’s ascension to the throne, this book explores their relationship
over the years. Andrew Morton’s latest biography offers unique insight into these
two drastically different sisters - one resigned to duty and responsibility, the other
resistant to it - and the lasting impact they have had on the Crown, the royal family
and the way it has adapted to the changing mores of the twentieth century.

Successful Single Fin Mingle competition
THE FOUR day Single Fin
Mingle ended in a big hurrah
on Sunday with the finals of the
longboarding competition.
Over a thousand spectators
lined the Sumner Esplanade to
watch the world class surfing as
the late autumn sunshine shone
bright on the shore.
Sumner competitors made the
podium in both the men and
women’s categories.
Minnie Robberds, also a talented
musician in band There’s a
Tuesday, was third. Hugh Ritchie
was second.
Mischa Davies, of Northland,
was first in the women’s class
and Jordan Griffin from Mt
Maunganui was first in the men’s
class.
Said Brittany Andrews, of
Sumner: “The mingle was very
fun. I made it through one round
but didn’t get through the next
which was fine cause the surf was
very tricky.”
The longboarding competition
began on Friday, with over 80
competitors displaying their
logging techniques.
The next day saw wild weather
and huge surf but several competition
heats were still held in the
morning.
Alongside the surfing, revellers
took part in surfing cinematics
at the Hollywood Cinema on
Thursday, and danced their
hearts out at the Sumner Soiree
on Friday and The Village Knees
Up on Saturday.

OUR PEOPLE – NIC GRAHAM 13
Hospo a way to keep community together
Nic Graham calls
Governors Bay both
her home and her
workplace, having
established cafe
Harbour House in what
was once named She.
Samantha Mythen
talks to her about the
business and her role in
the community
How did you find yourself in
Governors Bay?
I have a really vast
background. I was in hospitality,
banking, account management,
sales and recruitment – all
sorts of things. Then I had my
children and we moved to the
bay about seven years ago. I’ve
lived in a lot of different places
and have never settled anywhere
before. One of the things I’ve
always wanted to do is live by the
water and I love it here.
When we were first exploring
to buy in Christchurch, we came
up out to the bay a few times. I
didn’t know Christchurch well
and we were told: ‘Oh you never
get any sun over there.’
We eventually bought a villa
in Spreydon, which we renovated
fully, finishing after two years.
Then the quakes wrote it off, the
house market went nuts, and we
randomly thought: ‘Let’s go look
at this place in the bay.’ We saw
the house on the weekend and
it went to auction on Thursday
so we didn’t have time to think
much about it, but we got it at
auction.
What do you love about
Governors Bay?
The environment here and the
views. It’s beautiful, especially
this time of year with all of the
autumn colours. It felt like a nice
environment to raise our kids,
to get out of the city commercial
life. I love the people, I love the
community.
Where are you from
originally?
I was born in Matamata and
I grew up in Hamilton. From
about 21, I left and did all sorts
of things. I lived in Westport
with my Dad. That’s where I got
into hospitality. I went down for
a holiday and ended up staying
thinking: ‘Oh my god, these
people are so relaxed, I want to
be like this.’
Dad at the time owned the
country pub, which was really
cool. Going from there, I ended
up working in the township at
Bailey’s Pub, function centre,
bar, bottle store, and restaurant.
What was your first stint in
hospitality like?
It was a real local wee pub
out of town and the banter was
great. When I started working at
Bailey’s, they had just renovated
this big function room, which I
got up and running. It was the
marketing side I really loved –
knowing there was no ceiling to
what you can do, so you can be
really creative.
COMMUNITY HUB: Nic Graham wants her cafe Harbour House to be a place where
people can take a relaxing break.

How did you find yourself in
charge of Harbour House?
Things changed for me a few
years ago when I separated from
my girls’ father and I thought:
‘What am I going to do? I really
want to stay here in the bay.
Okay, I’m going to start up a
food truck, the community
needs something like that.’
However, I ended coming
up against walls, and then this
place came up on the market.
I inquired, and then long story
short, I ended up buying it.
January 31 last year was my
opening day. I shut down for
about three and a half days
before. We were doing so much
to get things ready. With help of
tradie friends, we painted it all,
put in new tiles, I had shelves
made, we moved doors and put
a storeroom in. We did loads in
such a short amount of time.
The night before the opening
the place was just a tip with
tools everywhere. Then probably
about 10-15 people walked in
and helped me clear up and do
the final touches, they weren’t
even asked, they just turned up.
So it was like the community
helped me to get this together. It
was really cool.
Then we had a massive
opening.
We had Carmel Courtney
and two of the local kids sing.
She teaches singing and actually
teaches my girls. We had three
food stations around the place, a
complementary drink on entry
and the place by 6.20pm was
chocker. My daughter, who was
12 at the time, was doing the till
for me as I had no time to train
on it.
How did the evening make
you feel?
It was so cool, a real blessing
to the place. Then it was also
overwhelming because I was
thinking: ‘Oh, tomorrow, we
are actually going to be in
operation.”
‘It’s about enjoying being
in here and receiving really
good service.’
– Nic Graham
What made you commit to
something as big as running a
cafe?
I wanted my girls to see me be
able to achieve my dream. I have
always wanted to do this and
now it has come to fruition.
I was terrified at first. Then I
ran around town for a month
trying to get everything together.
It was honestly the scariest
thing I’ve ever done.
Where did the name Harbour
House come from?
When I started hospo, Dad’s
FAMILY:
Graham
with her
daughters
Alexandra
(left) and
Zoe.
pub was in Cape Foulwind
and just past there is gorgeous
Tauranga Bay, so the pub was
named Bay House.
Ten days after the earthquake,
he passed away suddenly and the
pub went to new owners.
I’d been pondering what to call
this place for awhile. I wanted
to call it something “house,”
because I wanted it to feel like
home for people. I rang the Bay
House and asked if I could use
the name and they unfortunately
said no. I was stuck on Bay
House and was feeling so
disappointed, because we call it
the Bay here, so the Bay House
would have been perfect.
Then, a friend of mine texted
me saying: ‘What about Harbour
House?’ and I said: ‘Yes that’s it.’
You’ve mentioned quite a
lot that this is a cafe for the
community – what does that
mean to you? How do you
visualise it being a place for the
community?
I am wanting this to be the
hub of the community, where
people come to meet and bump
into their friends and relax and
just hang. It should be a place
where people can approach
me for anything they want. It’s
about enjoying being in here and
receiving really good service.
You have hosted several
community fundraisers at
Harbour House, tell me about
this.
We do all sorts of community
events. We have raised money for
the Kidney Society with a clothes
swap. We’ve done a function
for the Fire Service and had a
massive quiz and auction night
to raise money for the Governors
Bay year 8 school camp to
Wellington. We raised $4000 I
think. It was really cool and fun,
a good feel. It’s all about raising
money for the community.
I’ve also got local art in here
and it all often sells which is
really exciting and rewarding to
see for the artist.
We also came up with the idea
of takeaway meals, like cottage
pies during Covid, so people
could put them in their freezer. I
felt like the elderly wouldn’t want
to go into the supermarkets,
afraid of their higher risk of
contracting covid. The meals
went flying out the door.
As the business owner you
have many roles, but what’s
your favourite?
I would have liked to have
said marketing but right now, I
don’t do much of that because
I get tied up in everything else.
But really just being with all the
people who come in here is my
favourite part.
Any funny stories of people
here so far?
We were getting ready for
our first birthday celebration
earlier this year and just the
week before, we were about to
close and this girl came in and
I gasped pointing her out to an
employee, saying: ‘That’s the
singer.’ It was Hayley Westenra.
And I asked her and she yes. I
asked her to take photos with me
and I asked her to please come
to the birthday. She said she
would try. But she never showed
(laughs). I was so excited.
What has been the most
challenging side of running
your own business?
I was in business for seven
weeks and then Covid hit.
Then we went to level three
and had to change everything,
doing takeaways and losing
all of that tourism – this is a
tourism destination on top of
the local business. It has been
really tough, I feel like I’ve been
chasing my tail. Right now, I
don’t have a life or time out. But
I said to myself at the start: ‘I
know it is going to be a hard and
long two years.’ I am surviving
now and just have to keep going.
What are your happy things
outside of Harbour House?
Spending time with my girls
– one is 13 and one is almost
10. The other day we had fish
and chips at the beach and they
went for a swim. It was so nice.
I’m also very social, so catching
up with friends. Travelling is
massive for me, I love it. I’ve
been to Asia, Samoa, Raratonga
and Australia, and of course
throughout New Zealand. I
love camping, it is my big thing.
Tenting with my family. Okains
Bay is my favourite spot, it is
so great for children as well.
I’m really looking forward to
eventually having more time to
do that.
What does being a mother
mean to you?
It’s everything.
What’s your favourite meal to
eat here?
I am the most annoying owner
in the world, because I go into
the kitchen and say: ‘I’m really
hungry but I don’t know what
I want.’ But probably, our eggs
bennedict with salmon.

The art piece
‘Forest Flight’
will be sold
for $2800
and proceeds
will go to the
Diamond
Harbour
Volunteer Fire
Brigade and
Artists Against
Slavery’s
cause.
Right: The
designated
track for the
fun run.
Art group to help raise funds for
victims of abuse through fun run
• By Samantha Mythen
KEEN PARTICIPANTS: John Simkiss (left) will be running
to raise money for Hagar International. Dereck Porter
suggested the idea of the fun run fundraiser.
SMALL ACTIONS plus many
people results in huge change.
This is the belief of Artists
Against Slavery, a Diamond
Harbour based charitable organisation,
which uses creativity to
fundraise for the rescue and rehabilitation
of trafficked people
worldwide.
The Diamond Harbour
challenge fun run event is its
upcoming fundraiser. The event
is on April 24, starting 9am participants
can either run or walk
from Godley House site to the
wharf and back as many times as
they like. The distance is about
910m per lap.
In the lead-up to and during
the event, participants can find
sponsors to donate. All money
raised will be donated to Hagar
International which works with
trafficked women and children
in Cambodia, Vietnam and
Afghanistan.
Artist Janie Porter established
the organisation in 2009.
Said Porter: “I want to use the
gift I’ve got to make a difference.
For all the artists involved, whether
they paint or sculpt, whatever
they do, they want to both create
and make their life count.”
Porter’s husband Dereck is a
runner and suggested the fun
run event. Porter set the date
and is making it happen behind
the scenes.
Resident John Simkiss, will
be starting the run at 9pm on
Friday, 12 hours before the official
beginning. He is planning
to run all night around the
playing fields before joining in
the official event laps at 9am on
Saturday.
“I like to run, so thought, why
not run longer,” he said.
“I have known Janie for a few
years and seeing her fundraising
efforts has inspired me. As a
runner I thought, why don’t I do
my part with running.”
Simkiss has already done numerous
running events to raise
money for Hagar International.
He does not have any fundraising
goals but encourages
people to donate or even just
participate.
“Getting to know about the
cause is just as important.”
Porter is donating a painting
to be sold at the event too, where
half of the proceeds from the
sale will be donated to the Diamond
Harbour Volunteer Fire
Brigade and the other half will
be donated to Artists Against
Slavery’s cause.
Porter explained six laps of the
course is the equivalent of up
and down the Bridle Path and 18
laps is the equivalent of going up
and down Mt Herbert but even
one lap counts.
“You can do one lap. You can
just stroll it. Anyone can join
and if you are frightened of
finding sponsors, you can just
sponsor yourself,” Porter said.
“It is a fun thing to do with
friends and for a really good
cause.”
The organisation also runs
other fundraising events.
Artists donate work to the
organisation to fundraise. They
also participate in exhibitions
where a portion of money from
the artwork sold goes to Hagar.
The next exhibition will be held
in Diamond Harbour in October.
In July, five local high school
students will exhibit their work.
In October each year, people
are asked to donate $10 – the
10th month.
Porter explained if 100 people
donate that is $1000, which can
make a world of difference to
trafficked people’s rehabilitation.
The group also runs coffee
morning fundraisers, where for a
small fee, which will be donated
to Hagar, people can listen to an
artist guest speaker. The most
recent guest speaker was printer
maker and oil artist, Gaby Reade.

Young yachtie cruises to national title
• By Chris Barclay
ALTHOUGH COVID-19 twice
scuttled his plans to represent
New Zealand overseas, talented
Optimist sailor Will Leech is
staying upbeat.
After all, the 12-year-old
Cobham Intermediate School
student and member of the
Charteris Bay Yacht Club member
does have time on his side.
By becoming the South
Island’s first winner of the Optimist
National Championships
since fellow Cantabrian Jayvee
Buchanan in 2010, Leech should
have been setting sail for Lake
Garda in Italy, venue of the
world optimist championships
in June-July.
However, the global pandemic
means he will stay closer to
home in Charteris Bay on the
southern coast of Lyttelton harbour
to continue training while
playing rugby over the winter
months.
“It’s disappointing not to be
able to go to Italy, the world
championships will be a goal for
next season,” he said.
Leech expertly improved on
last year’s second placing in the
Open fleet with a canny display
of consistent sailing on the E
course used by the America’s
Cup and Prada Cup teams in
Auckland.
He only won one of the 12
races he contested off the Maraetai
Sailing Club headquarters
last week, but he also only had a
solitary double-digit placing, a
10th he was able to discard from
his points score.
Otherwise he never finished
outside the top-six among the
76-strong fleet throughout five
days of racing.
He finished 15 points clear of
Auckland’s Joe Leith from the
Murrays Bay Boating Club.
“What I was focusing on was
keeping consistent because
one of Dad’s mates was the OK
PLAIN SAILING:

first Optimist
national
championships
by a comfortable
margin in
Auckland.

ZEALAND
Dinghy world champion and he
only won one race,” Leech said,
referencing Christchurch sailor
Matt Stechmann’s triumph at
Melbourne in 2014.
“I’m been working really
hard over the last few seasons,
it’s always been a dream to win
it. I’m so stoked to beat all the
Aucklanders,” he said.
Leech, who claimed the boys
title and the overall honours,
sails a raft of different boats,
including a P Class and an F8
Foiler, which he built with his
father Dan.
“It’s super competitive at that
top level so to go up there and
actually win it is a huge achievement,”
Leech’s father said.
“It’s pretty full on, race days
up in Auckland, sometimes
you’re on the water for six hours
a day.”
Each competing country
can send their top-five ranked
optimist to the global showpiece,
so Covid-19 also ruined Leech’s
plans to go to Europe last year,
where Italy withdrew their bid
before the world championships
were cancelled.
Fortunately Leech, who started
sailing at age six, is eligible to
compete in the Optimist class
for another two years.
Leech has already represented
New Zealand abroad as a part of
a development team to Noumea
in 2019 and has sizeable goals on
the horizon.
“I want to be involved in the
Sail GP and the America’s Cup,”
he said.
ESTUARY MATTERS
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 Tanya Jenkins
writes about a former salt marsh that is now
Charlesworth Reserve
FROM WETLAND to industrial
area to farmland and now
returned to a spectacular
wetland.
A brain-child by city council
ecologist and park ranger
Andrew Crossland, this was
a restoration plan to return a
20ha of drained salt marsh to its
former glory.
Once initial design of wet
and dry areas were scraped out
and walking paths had been
constructed, the estuary trust
offered, with enthusiasm, to
provide the elbow grease to replant
and co-ordinate volunteer
restoration sessions. September
2004 saw our first involvement
in this long road to restore this
area divided from the estuary by
Humphreys Drive.
With soil spoiled after
industry and cattle presence
for some 150 years, the land
required mulching and ‘resting’
to recover before the first hardy
plants like flax, cabbage trees,
Ngaio, oi oi and saltmarsh
ribbonwoods could be planted.
Followed by several years of
constant weeding of the young
plants to prevent being crowded
out by grasses, being gutted at
times observing plant losses due
to either drought, heavy frost,
flooding and the occasional
plant theft issue, perseverance
was rewarded when we started
to see some real green growth in
2012. It was only then, we could
plant a wider variety of plants
incl Kahikatea, Totara, Manuka
and Mahoe.
In 2015, it was city councillor
Sarah Templeton who was given
the honour to plant tree seedling
number 100,000 in the reserve.
Charlesworth Wetland today?
A coastal wetland with a large
variety of trees and shrubs
sheltering and protecting the
large numbers of lizards and
insects now present again. Small
islands provide safe roosting
and nesting sanctuaries for a
variety of birds. A little gem in
Christchurch and proof that
with a little bit of assistance,
nature is quite capable of healing
from damage done by people.
The estuary trust would

Reserve today.
suggest you investigate this
spectacular reserve and see for
yourself and very likely agree
that yes, the annual 1500–1800
hours of voluntary work was
(and still is) absolutely worth it.
But we are not nearly finished.
Supervised by Andrew Crossland,
we meet every Sunday at
the Charlesworth St car park at
2pm for 2hr.
We would sure welcome an
extra pair of hands. No need to
book, just turn up.

Novel Success for Linwood
College Business Student
“Who we are” helping inform “what we do”
Linwood College at Ōtākaro has been motivating
students to find and forge their own unique and
exciting pathways through the senior Business
Studies course. The rich cultural diversity of the
school is embraced and students are also using this
to inform their new product and marketing ideas.
Partnering with the Young Enterprise Scheme, the
school has picked up a number of awards in the
competition and also helped usher several students
along paths to setting up their own businesses and
studying in universities.
Students from many different countries and
backgrounds has been a real source of strength
for the school and this has
been reflected in the successful
business teams. Abdullah Wahidi
is one such student whose
business team created a children’s
book that advocates for diversity.
The book garnered national media
attention and can now be enjoyed
by children in local libraries
throughout Christchurch.
Abdullah was born in Afghanistan
and later moved with his family to
Pakistan before settling in New
Zealand in 2018 and becoming an
LCŌ student. In his senior year,
his Business Studies class had to
come up with ideas for a project to
enter in the Lion Foundation Young
Abdullah and his brother Abbas Wahidi
at Linwood’s Festival of Nations.
Enterprise Scheme. It was Abdullah’s hope that he
could to do something to address intolerance towards
other cultures. His community had been severely
traumatised by the recent 2019 Mosque attacks, and
he wanted to find a way forward towards healing and
coming together. “The staff, the students and all the
people at Linwood College have always respected
other cultures and were proud of being a diverse
college. Though there were only few students from
Afghanistan, LCŌ always recognised us and made
us feel a part of them by putting the Afghanistan flag
up on our Festival of Nations day and by encouraging
us to wear our traditional clothes.”
He teamed up with Paigan Watson-
Hall, along with classmates Josh
Stiles and Luka Russell. They
decided to create a children’s
book featuring tales from around
the world in the hope of inspiring
families to take a more openminded
view of different cultures. A
$1000 grant from the Christchurch
City Council Community Activation
Fund gave the students the
financial boost they needed to get
the ball rolling.
The first-print run of the book was
completely sold-out within two
weeks. Their success was picked
up in the national media who
celebrated the uniqueness of their
ADVERTISEMENT
product and vision. The book can also now be found
in several libraries around Christchurch. Additionally,
the senior Business Studies students were presented
with the excellence award for customer and market
engagement at the Young Enterprise regional finals.
This year Abdullah is a Bachelor of Commerce student
at Lincoln University, majoring in marketing with a
minor in supply chain management. He is also part
of the Future Leader Scholarship Programme, which
provides students with opportunities to contribute to
the community. “I am the first in the family to study
at a university, so it was very exciting for me and my
family. I had a lot of tertiary education options but
chose Lincoln for the Future Leader Scholarship,
which is a program that is connected to what I want
to be in the future.”

I WAS PICKING up Mitsubishi’s
new Eclipse Cross from the
dealership and entered into
conversation with one of the
members from the friendly sales
team.
After being shown around the
car, I mentioned that it seemed
too soon for the mid-size sport
utility vehicle to undergo a generation
change. In reply I was told
the old model had been around
for three years and, although time
has obviously escaped me, that is
indeed correct.
To say the Eclipse Cross is
all new isn’t strictly so, there
are many elements that are
carryovers, yet the popular SUV
has had some dramatic changes
that enhance its usability and
driveability. For one, it’s bigger –
14cm longer in fact – and most of
that has gone into the rear of the
model, increasing load and rear
passenger space.
While the engine hasn’t been
altered in design, there have been
improvements to make it quieter
and more responsive. It also
drives out of a new all-corner
power proportioning system.
Well, it’s not new either, but
it is new to Eclipse Cross, see
it’s much the same system that
Mitsubishi has used in its Lancer
Evolution models and the old
V6-powered Outlander.
The Super All Wheel Control
system is advanced and can be
seen largely as a safety system,
ROOMY: The new Eclipse Cross is longer than the previous
model, most of the length has gone into the rear section.
MITSUBISHI ECLIPSE CROSS: Generation change for 2021.
it also has modes for snow and
gravel that can be selected at will
by the driver.
Of course, not all Eclipse Cross
variants have four-wheel-drive, the
four-model range starts at $35,990
for a front-drive only model,
there’s also a high-spec VRX
front-driver at $41,990. The fourwheel-drive
range starts at $37,990
for the XLS, the evaluation car was
the high spec VRX at $43,990, and
it is chock full of goodies.
Items such as leather trim
(heated seats front and rear),
head-up display, dual-zone climate
control, active cruise control with
speed limiter, keyless entry and ignition,
electric sunroof (dual) and
paddle-shift eight-step automatic
transmission are all fitted.
It’s fair to say the controls have
all been simplified as well, gone is
the old centre console mouse-like
device, the new Eclipse Cross has
a touch screen display which has
large icons for easy understanding
and operation.
Now at 4.5m the Eclipse Cross
has a spacious in-cabin environment;
the seats are beautifully
supportive and comfortable,
while rear seat head and leg room
is appropriate, the latter not
compromised by that healthy rear
load space area – up to 405-litres
of storage can be contained there,
stretching to 672-litres with the
rear seats folded. Bear in mind,
though, it is a five-seater only.
At the other end sits a turbocharged
four-cylinder engine of
1499cc. If you are thinking that it
would be underwhelming, you’ll
be largely surprised, and take
into account that’s the direction
Honda has gone with its CRV,
the capacity and outputs are very
similar.
The Eclipse Cross’ unit is stateof-the-art
in terms of design, and
it has healthy figures to support
that statement. Mitsubishi claims
112kW and 254Nm power outputs,
the latter realised flat across the
torque curve spreading from
2000rpm to 3500rpm. If you add
in its pairing to a continuously
variable automatic transmission,
then the ingredients are in place for
a smooth transition of power and
responsive throttle application.
Drive through the CVT is
seamless, that’s an area Mitsubishi
has long persevered with, and
that background has certainly
helped with its application mated
to a turbocharged engine, the
result is a free-flowing spread of
power, and good economy and
performance figures.
The Eclipse Cross is rated with
a combined cycle average of
7.7-litre per 100km. On a long
high-country journey I had no
problem meeting Mitsubishi’s
fuel usage claim with the readout
constantly listing at 8.2l/100km,
which was helped by a wallet-friendly
6l/100km instantaneous
figure sitting at a steady
• Price – Mitsubishi Eclipse
Cross VRX, $43,990
• Dimensions – Length,
4545mm; width, 1805mm;
height, 1685mm
• Configuration – Fourcylinder,
four-wheel-drive,
1499cc, 112kW, 254Nm,
continuously variable
automatic
• Performance –
0-100km/h, 9sec
• Fuel usage – 7.7l/100km
100km/h, the engine loping over
very relaxed at just 1800rpm.
In terms of acceleration, the
Eclipse Cross will cut out a standstill
to 100km/h time of 9sec, and
it will power through a highway
overtake (80-120km/h) in 6.8sec,
using the paddle shifters to keep
the engine singing happily in its
peak power zone. These are all
impressive figures which would
make a buyer quite happy with
his/her purchase.
The Eclipse Cross is also rather
tidy when it comes to tackling a
tricky corner or two. I took the
evaluation car through the hilly
back roads beneath the Malvern
Hills between Sheffield and
Coalgate, those roads are partly
unsealed and I was keen to get the
feel of the SWAC system working
beneath. However, what happens
when grip is low is that all the
unseen elements kick in and the
driver is quite oblivious as to how
that system is working for you.
On seal the Eclipse Cross has
purposeful steering, the weighting
is near perfect and there is
solid communication as to how
the rubber is reacting to the road
surface. The tyres are a Toyo
brand (225/55 x 18in) and they
send strong messages through the
steering system so that the driver
is fully aware of how the entire
car is reacting under cornering
pressure. Body movement is low
and suspension control is high.
It must also be said the Eclipse
Cross moves through the air
quietly, the ride is controlled,
generating a level of comfort not
often found in a mainstream,
cost-friendly SUV.
Mitsubishi are well pleased
with their performance over the
last year or two. They have a vast
product range that hasn’t been
overly affected by supply issues
due to Covid-19.
What’s more, another high-profile,
new-generation model is due
soon – the Outlander. It and the
Eclipse Cross will dovetail nicely
in the marketplace, while sales of
the evergreen ASX continue to
tick over.
Any Mitsubishi buyer will be
pleased with the purchase, the
product is affordable and high
in quality. There is also peace of
mind, the Eclipse Cross gets a 10-
year driveline warranty.

CHRISTCHURCH DISTRICT PLAN
PROPOSED PLAN CHANGE 8
PAPAKAINGA/KAINGA NOHOANGA
ZONE – RULE AMENDMENTS
Christchurch City Council has proposed Plan Change 8 to the District Plan to
better enable use and development of Māori land in the Papakāinga/Kāinga
Nohoanga zone.
The changes proposed seek to:
a. Significantly reduce the current 15m road setback for buildings on Māori
land to 3m, or 5m where the garage directly faces the road (so cars parked in
front of the garage door will not extend onto the road).
b. Reduce the current 10m internal boundary setback for buildings on Māori
land to 2m. A recession plane is proposed to be introduced to offset the
possible visual and privacy effects on neighbours of an internal boundary
setback reduction of this extent.
c. Increase the maximum permitted site coverage of buildings on Māori
land from 35 percent to 50 percent, to allow for the possibility of multiple
buildings on communally owned land.
d. Provide a more generous earthworks allowance – the same as for residential
zones – for Māori land in the Papakāinga/Kāinga Nohoanga zone, where
sites are below 2000m2.
e. Extend the definition of Māori land (for the purposes of the Papakāinga/
Kāinga Nohoanga zone only) so that general land in the following categories
can also benefit from the zone’s Māori land rules:
i. Land where a status declaration was made under the Māori
Affairs Amendment Act 1967 converting Māori freehold
land to general title, and there have been no changes of
ownership since the conversion other than to an owner’s
bloodline successor; or
ii. Land where one or more owners are able to provide written
evidence of Whakapapa to the original grantees of the land
as confirmed by the Te Runanga o Ngāi Tahu Whakapapa
Unit or the Māori Land Court;
iii. Land which is vested in a Trust constituted pursuant to
Part 12 of Te Ture Whenua Māori Act 1993 or a Māori
incorporation constituted pursuant to Part 13 of the Te Ture
Whenua Māori Act 1993;
iv. Land which is owned by a Rūnanga with authority/mana
over the area in which the original Māori reserve is located.
More information
The proposed Plan Change 8 and assessments required under section 32 of
the RMA, together with any supporting documents, can be viewed at any of the
Council’s service centres or libraries or at ccc.govt.nz/planchange8
We are holding public drop-in sessions to provide more information and answer
questions about the proposed Plan Change, which you are welcome to attend.
The sessions will be held:
• 28 April 2021 5:30pm-7pm, at Little River Rugby Clubroom, Little River.
• 4 May 2021 5:30pm-7pm, at Mt Herbert Community Facility, Lyttelton.
Submissions
Anyone can make a submission on this plan change via our online form at
ccc.govt.nz/planchange8 or collect a hard copy form from our Civic Offices at
53 Hereford Street, or any of our service centres or libraries. For details of your
nearest service centre or library please visit ccc.govt.nz/contact-us or phone
03 941 8999.
Submissions must be received before 5pm on Thursday 13 May 2021.
Process for public participation
Once all submissions have been received, they will be made publicly available.
Further submissions will then be invited, allowing certain persons and
organisations to support or oppose any of the initial submissions.
A Council hearing will then be held to consider all submissions, and decisions will
be made following this hearing. Anyone who has made a submission has the right
to appeal the decision to the Environment Court.
The objectives, policies and rules proposed in this Plan Change will have no legal
effect until the Council gives public notice of its decision on the Plan Change and
matters raised in submissions or the Environment Court makes an order which
grants any rule immediate effect (RMA s86B).
If you’d like more information, please contact the City Planning Team on
941-8999 and ask to speak to, Glenda Dixon, Senior Policy Planner, about
proposed Plan Change 8 or email us at PlanChange@ccc.govt.nz.

Starlight Best Site - Loved for over 40 years
11 Starwood Lane, Sumner 3 bedrooms, 1 living, 1 dining, 1 bathroom, 4 car garaging
Built by the current owner and enjoyed for over 40 years, this home was
designed to optimise privacy and the picturesque surroundings. This
uniquely appealing family home upon Clifton Hill is positioned to perfection
and offers massive potential for modern enhancement. Classically crafted
and completely original, the home showcases soaring ceilings lined by
exposed beams that lend a hint of character. However, buyers will identify
the opportunity to introduce improvements, with the traditional interior
providing a desirable blank canvas where you can bring your ideas to life.
The views are sensational, particularly from the living area and kitchen,
overlooking everything from the city centre and the Southern Alps, across
to the estuary, Pegasus Bay and Kaikoura beyond. The location is made even
more favourable by its sun-saturated position, which also boasts exceptional
wind shelter for optimum comfort.
The split-level layout is the very definition of practical, serving up numerous
spaces to ensure everyone in the household can enjoy a place of their own. A
bathroom accompanies the home’s three bedrooms.
Indoor-outdoor flow has been thoughtfully considered, with various doors
inviting you to unwind upon the deck that naturally wraps around to the back
lawn and garden that is superbly arranged for those with children or pets.
Easy drive-on access is another bonus, with a sizeable four-car garage
offering substantial and secure vehicle storage. This approx 922sqm
property embraces a real sense of retreat yet is well placed to enjoy
Sumner’s many offerings with the beach, cafes, bars, schools and amenities
only a short drive down the hill and a park situated at the beginning of the
lane. Contact Paula or Simon for further information.
