Wharenui Swim Club president
Chris Averill believes the benefits of
the pool far outweighs any financial
savings the city council may have.
“They’re closing it because they’ve
got new pools opening up and they
believe our pool is old and not
worthwhile anymore,” he said,
“But we had 22,000 people use
the pool in February [alone] and it’s
been increasing over the las two

Council ‘bullying’ denied
CONFLICT: Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner have rubbished claims of “political bullying” and “dictatorship” from city
councillors Sam MacDonald (above) and Aaron Keown.
• By Matt Slaughter
ACCUSATIONS OF “political
bullying” have emerged after
debate around a proposal
to amend the city council’s
submission to Environment
Canterbury’s Long Term
Plan.
But, the accusations made
by city councillors Sam
MacDonald and Aaron Keown
have been bluntly denied by
Mayor Lianne Dalziel and
Deputy Mayor Andrew Turner,
along with claims the city
council is like a “dictatorship.”
At the city council meeting
last Thursday, MacDonald and
Keown, along with councillors
James Gough, Phil Mauger and
Catherine Chu, asked to amend
the council’s draft submission
on ECan’s 10-year budget
to express concern over the
regional council’s 24.5 per cent
rates increase.
Consultation on the draft
Long Term Plan is now closed.
ECan proposed a 24.5 per
cent rates increase across
Canterbury, but only a 3 per
cent increase for Christchurch
residents.

Dementia unit resident
charged with manslaughter dies
AN ELDERLY man who was
charged with killing a fellow
resident at a Christchurch
rest home’s dementia unit has
died.
The man, in his 70s, was
charged with manslaughter
after an incident at Heritage
Lifecare last year involving a
man in his 80s.
His case was going through
the High Court when he died
earlier this year.
Widespread suppression
orders have blanketed the case,
preventing publication of the
name of the resident who died,
his alleged attacker, and the
name of the rest home.
The court confirmed
final suppression orders for
both men yesterdayday but
said the rest home can now be
identified.
The man charged with manslaughter
was suffering with
severe dementia at the time of
the assault.

Haimes was diagnosed with

this came as a shock.

and children Grace, 13,
and Wolf, 8, will not be

was dropped and the case
closed, with no further

However, it’s understood

death could still be held.

Reecy is studying to be a
radiologist and Haimes wants
to ensure his family are able to
survive financially if his condition
deteriorates.
Said Haimes: “If I deteriorate
quickly, I don’t want to leave my
wife with any debt or stress.”
The page was started last week
and $6768 has been raised so far.
The treatment is working so
well, Haimes is back working
in his construction job and has
been able to get out and about
and spend quality time with his

Privacy concerns raised over billboard
• By Matt Slaughter
ELECTRONIC billboards with
cameras attached are being used
to record details about residents’
vehicles for advertisers.
This has raised concerns for

narrative that
people are increasingly

But, LUMO,
the digital
outdoor advertising
business
Kathryn
Dalziel
which installed
the billboards
says people
should not being concerned, as
these billboards are not breaching
privacy laws and no personal
information is being collected.
The two billboards are at the
beginning of the Blenheim Rd
overbridge and on the corner of
Brougham and Colombo Sts. Six
more LUMO billboards will be
installed across Christchurch in
the next five months.
These have cameras installed by
company LENS, which capture
nearly 100 per cent of the number

which pass these billboards is

WATCHING: Cameras on LUMO billboards on Blenheim Rd and Colombo St are being used to record number plates and
gather information about vehicles.
information from NZTA on the
make, model and year of manufacture
of vehicles that have their
number plate scanned.
This information is fed back to
advertisers who ask LUMO for it.
Said an NZTA spokesperson:
“The Land Transport Act (sections
236 and 237) outlines that
any person may apply to the registrar
for access to information
on motor vehicles, provided the
application is made in accordance
with any regulations made
under that part of the Act, and is
accompanied by the prescribed
fee.
“This information is not ‘sold’,
it is provided for a prescribed fee
set on cost recovery basis.”
The main interest in this data
has come from the automotive
industry, but it is also used to
provide insight to companies
selling other goods or services.
Said Dalziel: “It’s that Big
Brother, it’s that 1984, absolutely.
“It can have quite an impact
on people who experience paranoia,
or that just really have an
overwhelming sense of being an
introvert and things like that.
That can be just another thing
that means that they don’t want
to go outside.
“I don’t think they’re breaking
the law . . . the one thing I will
say though, is that there is a
privacy principle that says you
should only collect personal
information from someone if it is
necessary for your purposes. So
is this necessary? That’s probably
the challenge that I would put to
them [LUMO].”
LUMO chief executive Phil
Clemas said people should not be
concerned because the cameras
are not being used to gather any
personal information about people,
just their number plates.
“We’re not collecting any personal
data at all. The camera is
collecting audience data and it’s
very legal. We wouldn’t be doing
it if it was illegal.

KORU NUTRITION
After retiring from our TV
screens after 40 years, veteran
broadcaster Peter Williams still

morning to prepare for his
morning radio show.
Peter Williams explained,

in the morning, I want to know
that my joints are healthy,
flexible and ready for the day.”
“I recommend Koru FX
cream by Koru Nutrition. It’s
New Zealand made, natural,
fast-acting, long-lasting and has
become NZ’s #1 fastest growing

Koru FX cream is a blend
of natural essential oils and
ingredients with calming
properties, like manuka oil,
eucalyptus, and extracts of
arnica.
Koru Nutrition describe Koru
FX Cream as an “effective
natural alternative that is
suitable for daily use.”
Peter Williams explained, “I
really want to make sure my
joints and muscles get the best
support possible as I age. I want
to be able to play golf and stay
active for a while yet.”
“I’ve seen dozens of people
recommending Koru FX cream
for joints but I’m a sceptic. I’ve
been a journalist for 40 years
and I often think, ‘Hmm, you
hear about these sorts of creams
to support joints, but I always
want to review them myself to
see what they’re really like.’”
“With Koru FX cream from
Koru Nutrition - I know it’s the
real thing. It’s packed full of
powerful, natural ingredients
that support joints and muscles
quickly.”
“You can order it online, by
phone, or pick it up at most
pharmacies.”
“Don’t take my word for it
though. I recommend you try
it for yourself to see if it’s right
for you.”
Koru FX contains high quality
oils like calendula, arnica,
manuka and black pepper, along
with 12 others providing the
perfect formulation.
Countless doctors and
pharmacists are recommending

Defence force soldier
• By Kurt Bayer
A NEW Zealand Defence Force
soldier has been found guilty of
groping a female subordinate at a
function.
Royal New Zealand Army
Medical Corps staff sergeant
Jeremy Leslie Boyd denied a September
22, 2016 indecent assault
at Burnham Military Camp,
30km south of Christchurch.
The senior non-commissioned
officer faced a court martial at
Burnham Military Camp outside
Christchurch after being charged
under the Crimes Act 1961 –
with an alternative accusation of
common assault.
Boyd also faced a charge of
failing to comply with written
orders contrary to the Armed
Forces Discipline Act 1971,
which alleged that at Burnham
Military Camp on December 5,
2018 he failed to set an example
of good conduct by saying to a
junior subordinate, “this is my
last chance to get you wasted,
corporals are my cut off”, or
words to that effect.
That also had an alternative
charge, of “doing an act likely
to prejudice service discipline”
contrary to the Armed Forces
Discipline Act 1971, again at
Burnham, more than two years
later, on December 5, 2018.
The soldier denied the
charges but has been
found guilty after two days
of evidence at the court
martial.
He is no longer based at
Burnham, the NZDF says.
At the outset of the trial
on Monday, military prosecutor
sub lieutenant Natacha
Wisstt said the case
involved Boyd acting in a
sexually inappropriate manner
towards a female subordinate.
Boyd was alleged to have
told her in a computer room in
2015, “I so want to grab your
arse right now, but I know I
shouldn’t”.
On September 22, 2016, they
were both at a function farewelling
a civilian member of the
unit.
After a formal dinner, they
moved to the warrant officers
and sergeants’ mess bar.
It’s alleged that when she was
playing pool, Boyd approached
her and squeezed her breast for
few seconds, made eye contact,
and then went away.
A second allegation came on
December 5, 2018 at another
NEWS 5
guilty of indecent assault
function in the same officers’
mess.
She was standing at a table
when Boyd is alleged
to have approached her
with a drink he bought
her.
He is said to have
congratulated her on a
recent promotion.
They consumed the
drink and Boyd allegedly
told her: “This is
my last chance to get
you wasted, corporals
are my cut off”.
Wisstt said it’s alleged that Boyd
used “force” towards the victim.
Boyd’s lawyer Elizabeth Bulger
said he denied all charges, saying
there was no assault, indecent or
otherwise.
Boyd says the allegation of indecent
assault was a “fabrication,
for reasons best known to the
complainant”.
Referring to the 2018
allegation, he says she had
“at best misinterpreted” his
comments, or even deliberately
misinterpreted the conversation
to make it sound sleazy and
crass. He had merely been trying
to offer career advice to a junior
subordinate, Bulger says. – NZ

Age Concern Canterbury chief

“This one sits squarely with

urged affected customers to contact

“What I’m suggesting people
do is actually push back on their
banks.
“I’m suggesting they go: ‘Well
you’ve seen my pattern of use
over the last however many years
and you know I use cheques, you
know I post these things so you
know I don’t have a computer.

banks had put measures in place
to mitigate the disruption and
confusion, extensive information

provided DIAA courses through

are now dealing direct with the
Wellington-based organisation.
“We’re looking to deliver it
ourselves because it’s such a big
need,” Templeton said.
“We’re hoping to start running
those classes quite soon.”
DIAA covers 16 topics including
digital safety and security,
which hopefully offer peace of
mind.
“With a cheque they had the
time to wave it under someone’s
nose and check they’d got it
alright,” Templeton said.
“People are concerned once
they push the numbers into a
computer and push go. They go:
‘Gosh, did I get that right?’.”
Templeton said the classes

Meanwhile, the city council’s

automatic payment, credit card
or in person with cash.
Rates could also be paid by
monthly or quarterly direct debit
with forms able to be arranged

The city council ultimately
voted to decline the amendment.
Said Dalziel during the meeting:
“Disappointingly, for me, I’ve
been told that I have to accept
this dreadful amendment.”
MacDonald replied: “It’s
healthy for democracy.”
City councillors including
Turner, Mike Davidson, Melanie
Coker, Sara Templeton, Tim
Scandrett, Anne Galloway and
Yani Johanson also voiced opposition
to the amendment at the
meeting.
The decision means the city
council’s final submission to
ECan will not include any mention
of rates increases.
Dalziel said at the meeting:
“It is frustrating that we end up
having these debates around
headlines and slogans instead of
debating the real, serious, challenging
issues that we have as a
city in the context of our regional
council’s Long Term Plan.
“Focusing on one aspect of it
[the 24.5 per cent rate increase] –
a headline story – doesn’t cut the
mustard.
“We are required to think for
the current generation, but also
for future generations as well.”
Dalziel told The Star the
amendment got in the way of
more important discussion about
specific challenges ECan’s LTP
aims to address, including nitrates
in water, ensuring compliance
with air quality and buses.
MacDonald said he feels the
amendment proposal was “shot
down” and was disappointed
with how, he believes, he was accused
of “headline grabbing.”
“In a democracy, there’s nothing
wrong with someone like me
raising valid concerns over proposals
the council are raising. To
be dismissed like that, it should
alarm, I think, a lot of ratepayers,”
he said.
“It does feel like a dictatorship,
where if you don’t comply then
you’ll be publicly embarrassed
like that and that’s not healthy for
democracy.
“What probably frustrates me
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
the most, is that when we raise
valid arguments like that around
financial discipline, that the first
response of colleagues is to call
me headline-grabbing.”
Dalziel said MacDonald was not
accused of “headline grabbing.”
She clarified what she meant by
her headline comments with The
Star, saying sometimes issues that
generate headlines are focused on
more than specific elements that
need attention.
Said Keown: “There’s quite a
strong undertone in our council
at the moment with a level of political
bullying and it’s rearing its
head on quite a regular basis now
and I think the public should be
very, very concerned that that’s
going on.
“You can disagree, that’s fine.
Especially, you can disagree with
a strong debate, but when you
just basically shut down people
and laugh at the ideas that they
put forward on behalf of their
residents, we are seriously staring
at a dictatorship.”
Dalziel completely refuted
MacDonald and Keown’s comments
and told The Star the
amendment proposal was debated
fairly.
“That is ridiculous. I don’t
have the power to dictate,” said
Dalziel.
“I don’t feel that there was any
bullying.
“I played back the debate. I
intervened twice on Aaron’s
speech. I didn’t shut him down
and I didn’t laugh. On both occasions
I intervened, the clock was
stopped so it did not affect Cr Keown’s
speaking time. His speech
went for the full three minutes
that each councillor is allocated.
“It was debated. I didn’t stop
anyone from debating the issue.”
Turner said: “I’m not aware of
any dictatorship or bullying, all I
see is democracy at play.”
Dalziel said she had not been
informed by MacDonald or
any other city councillors who
supported the amendment that
it was going to be raised at the
meeting, and this was the reason
for her frustration.

Mosque terrorist
launches fresh
legal challenge
THE MOSQUE shooter has
launched a legal challenge due to
go before a High Court judge this
morning.
The gunman is serving a
sentence of life imprisonment
without parole for murdering
51 people and attempting to
murder 40 others at Al Noor
Mosque and Linwood Islamic
Centre on March 15, 2019.
He was also convicted under
terrorism laws.
He has sought a judicial
review, which is due to be
heard by Justice Geoffrey
Venning in the High Court at
Auckland.
Court records show the hearing
is in chambers, which means
it will not be open to the public.
Media are, however, permitted
to attend. The records show the
gunman intends to represent
himself.
A judicial review is where a
judge is asked to review legal
action or a decision. The judge
looks at whether the way the
decision was made was in
accordance with the law – but
the judge won’t usually decide
whether the decision was the
“right” decision.
Judicial reviews are always
heard in the High Court and
about 180 judicial reviews are
heard every year. – NZ Herald

Redevelopment of Lancaster Park
• By Matt Slaughter
THE REDEVELOPMENT of
Lancaster Park’s historic site is set
to begin on Monday.
The February 22, 2011, earthquake
caused significant damage to the
former AMI Stadium, which first
opened as Lancaster Park in 1881.
The demolition of the stadium, was
completed at the end of 2019.
The first stage of the redevelopment
project is expected to take
about nine months. This will include
cleaning up the site, removing the
foundations of the demolished
stadium, ground leveling, importing
topsoil and creating the new sports
field areas from seed in spring.
This work will allow the site to be
turned into a community recreation
space, including sports fields for
winter sports such as rugby and
football, and cricket grounds for
summer use.
Former Canterbury and All Black
forward and coach Grizz Wyllie
said it is positive that sport will still
be able to be played where such a
historic ground once stood.
“Obviously, for club teams and
that to be able to play whatever sport
it is on a ground like that, which is in
pretty good condition, and it still will
be looked after [and] will be still in
good condition, it will be of awesome
benefit to all sports that are going to
be played there,” Wyllie said.

The Lancaster Park Memorial
Gates will be protected during
the works.
City council staff are finalising
the design for the repair and
restoration of the gates, which is
set to begin in spring. The Star
reported in September this could
cost $500,000.
Monitors will be installed
on the gates to check for any
movement while the stadium
foundations are removed.
A spatial plan – developed in
conjunction with community
and sporting groups – will be
used as a guide for this work.
Further development will
occur as funding becomes
available.
It is anticipated there will
noise, vibrations and dust
from heavy machinery during
the preparation works and
removal of the former stadium’s
foundations.
City council staff will
attempt to minimise the
impact of this work as much as
possible.
The decision to demolish
Lancaster Park stadium
followed a status report showing
that recommissioning it as a
venue capable of hosting top
international rugby tests would
cost between about $255 to $275
million.

Shoppers
disappointed
at Four Square
closure but
not surprised
• By Samantha Mythen
SHOPPERS ARE disappointed
but not surprised about the
announced closure of the Four
Square supermarket in Redcliffs.
Foodstuffs has announced the

its doors on April 24.
Imre Speizer lives
in Sumner and often
shopped at Four
Square.
“I am displeased at

numbers of shoppers

The Four Square reopened as

rebuilt as a result of earthquake
damage. It re-branded as Four
Square in June 2020.
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

because it is much cheaper.

Gosser thinks the number

the area, but nothing has been
done.
But the city council says there
is no problem with pigeons in

remove pigeons from the areas.

DISGRACED former
Canterbury harness racing
trainer Mitchell Kerr has been
banned for life after being found
guilty of a range of charges based
on the the duping of owners on
both sides of
the Tasman.
The Rangiora-based
29-year-old,
who refused
to attend a
Judicial Control
Authority
For Racing
hearing in
Christchurch
last month or be interviewed by
Racing Integrity Unit investigators,
learned his fate on Tuesday.
The JCA confirmed the
penalty yesterday, with its chairman,
Justice Warwick Gendall,
describing Kerr’s actions as “seriously
corrupt”.
Kerr relinquished his training
licence to Harness Racing New
Zealand in November last year,
citing mental health grounds, as
racing authorities closed in. Police
subsequently launched their
own investigation.
Kerr was sentenced on four
charges laid by the RIU that he
sold a non-existent horse and
then charged its new owners
for expenses, oversold shares in
horses he trained, and charged
his owners insurance premiums
for non-existent policies.
There were multiple individual
victims – as many as 50
– though the precise number has
not been ascertained.
The JCA earlier heard Kerr was
a prolific gambler, who lost almost
$1 million through betting
on harness, thoroughbred and
greyhound racing with Australian
betting agency Ladbrokes in
the space of two years.
Gendall, in an 11-page judgment,
said a life ban was the
appropriate punishment.
The seriousness of Kerr’s actions
“over an extended period,
affecting multiple owners/
clients, involving very substantial
amounts of money, with
egregious, appalling breaches of
duties of faith and fiduciary obligations,
require disqualification
for life,” he said.
“He is unfit to be involved in
any way in the racing industry or
profession.”
Black Caps pace bowler Matt
Henry and All Blacks midfielder
Anton Lienert-Brown were
among the owners caught up in
Kerr’s deception.
Queensland businessman
Peter Varcoe and friend John
Beverley detailed their experience
to the hearing.
The pair paid $40,000 for a
horse in September 2019 following
Kerr’s recommendation,
named it ‘Beaver’ and were told
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Life ban for Canty harness racing driver
• By Chris Barclay
Mitchell Kerr
it would be “ready to run in 3-4
weeks”.
However, over the next nine
months Varcoe and Beverley
spent $26,175.75 in training
expenses, in spite of not being
able to obtain any information
about the horse running or even
at workouts.
By November 2020, the Australians
emailed Kerr demanding
proof of ownership, a photo
of the horse with brand neck
visible, and a copy of “insurance
papers which had expired”.
Beverley also threatened legal
action if Kerr did not meet a
seven-day deadline to produce
the documentation.
Kerr responded via email: “I’m
really upset that you both think
you don’t have a horse, this is
insane! I agree paperwork is not
a strong point but gee whiz I’m
certainly not like that,”
The horse did not exist so
Kerr sought to buy a gelding
for $25,000 from a “senior and
highly respected Canterbury
trainer” who said he could not
recommend the transaction.
Undeterred, Kerr approached
the gelding’s owner and offered
$20,000, but she would not sell
“as it was not worth that”.
Kerr eventually found an
unraced four-year-old and sent a
photo to the Australians, but he
never paid the $25,000 purchase
price.
In the judgment Kerr’s stance
as a professional trainer was
described as “breath-taking”.
“He endeavours to demean
those who he has cheated, saying
how upset they have made him
by the ‘insane’ belief they did not
have a horse. It reflects a continued
betrayal,” Gendall said.
Canterbury standardbred
breeder Don Bates, who has
devoted 50 years to the industry,
was also embroiled in the deception
when Kerr fraudulently
syndicated ownership of horses
they raced.
Bates lost several thousand
dollars and copped a backlash
from some sections of the
Canterbury harness racing community
for challenging Kerr.
“(Bates) said he has been
subject to adverse comments
. . . in a sense ostracising him,
and blaming him, he feels, for
daring to make his complaints,”
Gendall said.
“If that is correct, it is lamentable.
So as a consequence, he has
had to remove his horses to race
in Southland.”
Kerr, who amassed 87 winners
and almost $900,000 in stake
money in his three-year training
career, could not be reached for
comment on Wednesday.
Harness Racing New Zealand
chairman John Coulam was
quick to applaud the sanction.
“I think it’s a strong message.
We have to ensure we are
presenting ourselves as a sport of
integrity so we just can’t tolerate
people who have no respect for
that,” he said.
“We have made it quite clear
that we don’t have a tolerance
for people who are deliberately
cheating in the system. We can’t
tolerate cheats who are getting
financial gain.”

All about fun and friendship for women named
• By Samantha Mythen
IF YOUR name is Shirley, the
Christchurch Shirley Club is for
you.
Made up of about 40 women,
all named Shirley, the club
recently celebrated its 21st anniversary.
The club was started in 2000
by Shirley Smith and her sisterin-law,
also called Shirley Smith,
on March 4.
The two Shirleys were inspired
by the world’s first Shirley Club,
which was created in 1996 in
Perth by Shirley Brown.
Smith’s sister-in-law had seen
an article in the Australian
Woman’s Weekly about Brown
and the club, which had snowballed
across Australia, with
Shirley clubs popping up across
the country.
She then put a notice in her
local newspaper, asking any
Shirleys to come round to her
house for morning tea.
There was a great turnout and
the Christchurch Shirley Club
branch was created.
The women meet up around
four times a year; on the club’s
birthday, at Christmas and two
times in between.
For its 21st birthday, the
celebration carried on over the
entire weekend. They enjoyed
finger food at one Shirley’s home
on Friday night. On Saturday,

they enjoyed dinner at the Papanui
RSA. They took a road trip
to Akaroa on Sunday, stopping
in Little River.
Four Shirleys from the
Otago-Southland Shirley Club
– Hackett and Kennedy from
Invercargill, Campbell from
Balclutha and McIntosh from
Alexandra) also came up for the
celebrations.
Sixteen Shirleys had planned
to visit from Shirley clubs in
Australia but unfortunately
could not make it because of
Covid-19 border restrictions.
“It was a beautiful day on Sunday.
We just enjoyed the scenery
and each other’s company,”
Smith said.
“There is always something to
do and talk about.”
During the club’s Christmas
events, Smith’s husband Gerald
is their token Santa Claus, all
dressed up in the red and white
regalia.
Many Canterbury club
members have attended Shirley
conventions held in Australia.
Mini Shirley conventions are
often held around New Zealand
too. At one held in Christchurch,
several years ago, the Shirleys
took photos next to Shirley
suburb signs, Shirley St signs and
by Shirley Intermediate School.
Their colours are purple
and aqua, with Shirleys often
donning accessories and outfits
in these shades for club events.
Shirley Petschick is the club
coordinator. She has travelled
around the world to Shirley
Conventions, including to Colorado
and Missouri in the United
States.
“The conventions are absolutely
fantastic and a must-do

“Can you imagine a room of
200 Shirleys with all the chatter.”
She has made friends from
around the world, all because of
the name Shirley.
For the members, it is all about
the fun and the fellowship.
“It is a great way to meet people,”
Smith said.
“If a Shirley comes into town,
often from Australia pre-Covid,
we would get a call and go and
meet up for coffee.”
Their motto is ‘Fun, Food and
Friendship.’
Said Smith: “We are all very
good at talking and eating.”
“We share lots of laughs

Shirley
The group is mostly made of
older members – the oldest current
member being 92-years-old, with
their youngest being in their 60s.
All club members are given
a number and when a member
leaves or passes away, their number
is not re-used. For example,
Shirley Smith is known as Shirley
No 2 and another Shirley Smith is
Shirley No 68.
“Our numbers are reducing
unfortunately, with our members
slowly passing away,” Smith said.
“Shirley is not a name in vogue
anymore.”
Shirley Davey died on April
8. She had been a member from
the first meeting, still serving on
the club’s committee at 88 years
young.
The name Shirley originates
from as an Old English placename,
roughly translating to
‘bright meadow.’
It was originally known as a
male name, but by 1849, it was
established as a female name as
well – used in Charlotte Bronte’s
novel, Shirley. The Christchurch
club has had one male member
named Shirley. The group has
even included a dog named
Shirley.
New members are always welcome
to join the club.
The only pre-requisite for
membership is having the name
Shirley.

CITY COUNCILLOR Phil
Mauger has been slapped with
an infringement notice and fined
$300 for fixing a flood-prone
road without permission.
Mauger has also agreed to
carry out other red zone maintenance
work at no cost to the
city council, which will cost his
business Maugers Contracting
Ltd about $15,000.
This work will include repairing
a walkway and cycleway
under the northern side of New
Brighton’s Anzac Bridge.
The city council’s regulatory
compliance unit completed an
investigation into the incident
involving Mauger and city councillor
James Daniels last July,
when a trench was dug without
authorisation on land adjacent to
Pages Rd in Bexley.
At the time, Mauger said he
was acting on complaints from
the public about the path, so he
used a digger from his business,
Maugers Contracting Ltd, to cut
an unauthorised 70m trench to
drain flooding.
He said the public had waited
long enough for the problem
to be fixed, as the flooding had
been happening since the 2010
earthquake.
However, the city council said
today the works were carried out

on Crown-owned land managed
by the council without resource
consent.
“The city council’s
compliance unit began
an investigation when
alerted to the works. As
a result of the investigation,
Cr Mauger was
issued with an infringement
notice and fined
$300,” a spokesperson
said.
The Bexley trench was not the
first time Mauger had taken matters
into his own hands.
He also repaired the
pathway under the Anzac
Bridge walkway on New
Brighton Rd about a year
ago.
The Burwood Ward city
councillor is known for
getting things done, with
or without city council
staff permission.
In February, he ordered

Megan speaks of a
• By Anna Leask
A CHRISTCHURCH woman whose
eating disorder saw her plunge to the
weight of a small child has shared her
story in a bid to highlight “crisis” levels of
illness in New Zealand.
Megan Nelis, 24, who survived anorexia
and four stints under 24-hour monitoring
as an eating disorder ward inpatient,
says she had to fight to get
the care she needed in a public
health system that is severely
under-resourced.

Island Eating
Disorders
Service at
The Princess
Margaret
Hospital as
she battled
anorexia.
The New Zealand Herald has been looking
into eating disorders in New Zealand,
which have increased dramatically in the
last 12 months.
Patients and parents alike say there is
not nearly enough help available and have
called on the Government for
more funding and support
as they battle life-threatening
conditions like
anorexia, bulimia and
binge-eating disorder.
In total she spent
four months as an
inpatient at the
South Island Eating
Disorders Service at
The Princess Margaret
Hospital.
The service has eight
beds, reserved for the most
urgent cases – with many on
the waiting list for admission
or outpatient care.
Nelis gave an insight into
what life was like in “C Ward”, a
place many are desperate to get in
to, and countless others never want
to return.
If you or someone you
know needs help

day in the life in an eating disorders ward
“This is not a place you ever
want to find yourself in,” said
Nelis of the inpatient ward at the
hospital.
“It is not fun. It is not glamorous.
“It is hard.
“It is frustrating. It limits your
freedom.
“You are living in a bubble of
disordered eating where your
life – work, study, friends, family,
personal interests and hobbies
and greater autonomy – are dictated
by the ward staff and what
best benefits your recovery.”
Nelis said when she was first
admitted as an inpatient her
body was “wasting away”.
“My heart and other organs
were literally feeding on themselves
in order to get energy
needed to keep me alive,” she
said.
“My heart rate was 40, where it
usually lies between 60 to 80 in
healthy people, and blood results
looked appalling – I was told I
wouldn’t last much longer if I
kept going the way I was.
“I spent four months collectively
as an inpatient in the eating
disorders unit at the hospital.
“Spread across four different
admissions, with both nasogastric
tubes and the Mental Health
Act enforced on me, I spent long
periods at a time gaining weight

under the careful eye of specialist
doctors, nurses, and accompanying
staff.”
Nelis is now recovered and
grateful she was able to get the
help she did, but is painfully
aware of the shortcomings of the
system for others.
“Our public resources and
services are limited and stretched
out doing their damn best – it’s
really time for the Government
to give the crises of eating
disordered, disordered eating,
and obesity the attention and
resourcing it deserves,” she said.

Watched.
Their sickness cannot be left to
its own devices. Their health is
far too precarious for this once
they are admitted.
They wake at 7am each day.
Mondays and Thursdays start
with a weigh-in.
Then breakfast.
“Most of the patients would eat
together in the dining room and
lounge – a nurse would eat with
you. This was called ‘supported
eating’,” said Nelis.
“The radio was often put on
to fill gaps in conversation, and
lessen the tension in the room.
“You would have 30 minutes to
finish all food and drink – otherwise
a nutritional supplement
would be provided, a caloriedense
shake.”
At 9am it was morning medications
time, medical observations
and blood tests.
“Typically you would get an
echocardiogram on the activity
of the heart rate and rhythm,
lying and standing blood pressure
and temperature,” explained
Nelis.
Most had observations done on
weigh-in days only – more often
for those deemed “medically
unstable” and less for those with
“no concerns”.
Then off to the “on-campus
school” for those still attending
and “free time” for the older
patients unless they had appointments
with their care team – one
of a psychologist, psychiatrist,
social worker, occupational
therapist and nurse.

“Free time fillers would include
making use of the craft room on
the ward – although supplied
were limited due to funding –
doing jigsaws, playing cards or
games with the nurses and other
patients, reading or watching
something,” Nelis recalled.
At 10.15am it was supported
morning snack time.
“This would be the same
time every day you were there,
consisting of a food or drink item
– slice, muffin, half sandwich,
crackers and cheese, banana,
dried fruit and nut mix,” said
Nelis.
“Once again if you failed to eat
all the food in the 10 or 15 minutes
you were given, a nutritional
supplement shake was provided.
“Once per week for some
patients ‘snack exposure” would
happen. A group of older patients,
or those more along in
their recovery, would go out to a
cafe accompanied by one of the
ward’s occupational therapists
and order their morning tea offsite
instead.
“Due to lack of service funding
– this was paid for by the
patient, which was pretty hard
and testing for someone who may
really struggle with food to buy
something fearful for them.”
Then back to school or free
time until lunch.
Nelis said school was “a great
way of providing some routine
and consistency” but if you were
not a student it got “rather hard
to fill the time”.
At 12.30pm it was time for
lunch and post-meal supervision.
“As per breakfast – same rules

‘I was told I wouldn’t last much longer if I kept
the meal,” said Nelis.
“For the hour after lunch,
patients are not able to leave the
dining room, and move to the
lounge area to be supervised by
a nurse.
“Post-meals are a difficult time
for a number of eating disorder
patients and when compensatory
behaviours are easy to do – for
example purging, exercising,
self-harm.
“You were not allowed your
phone or an electronic device –
so typically the time was spent
doing jigsaw puzzles, reading,
playing cards with other patients,
or colouring in.”
The afternoon was a regimented
daily routine of free time,
another supervised snack and
visits from family or friends.
For some, a walk was allowed.
“Exercise was limited to
facilitate the weight restoration
process and address any addictive
or compensatory exercise
behaviours,” said Nelis.
Afternoons rolled into dinner,
more free time and the final
snack, same rules, same process,
same watching – of the day
before bed.
But bed was never the end of
the day for C Ward patients.
“You would be checked on
every hour by the night nursing
staff at the very least – anywhere
as frequent as 15 minutes, or on
24-hour watch if you needed the
extra monitoring and supervision,”
Nelis explained.
“It was common if you were
medically unstable or beginning
your stay to have a 3am blood
glucose finger test – if your levels
were too low, they would wake
you up to have a sandwich and
juice and not allow you back to
sleep until your levels were back
in a normal range.
“At the weekends, nothing
much changed except young
patients had no school and leave
could be requested, and family
outings could occur.

Help needed – recovering
patient begs the
Government to do better
for battling Kiwis
Nelis appreciated every minute
of help she had received for her
disorder – but said the system
needed to do much better, for
many more people.
“Most of the patients are youth
– this is what the ward is primarily
designed to support as they have
the best chances of a full recovery,”
she said of her experience.
“Adults and repeat patients have
a harder time being admitted – or
are admitted on a limited-time
basis and subject to more strict
compliance and medical stabilisation-only
goals, for example, come
in, gain the weight, and get out.
“As an adult inpatient I fought
every week to prove that I was
worth that bed on the ward,
something I didn’t have to do as a
youth-aged patient.”
She said every person with an
eating disorder mattered and
wanted to see more resourcing and
support across the board – not just
for the worst cases.
“There is a place for inpatient
treatment in recovery – but you do
not need to become an inpatient
to be validated or verified as ‘sick
enough’,” she said.
“However far along you are in
your struggles – you are worthy of
a life without an eating disorder
and the support to help you get the
re.”

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
THE BELFAST Netball Club
has issued a last-minute plea
for supporters to lobby the city
council for a revamp of courts
at Sheldon Park to be prioritised
in the next Long Term Plan.
Although about $1 million
has been devoted for improving
the facilities and access to the
venue, which also accommodates
the Belfast Rugby Club,
the bulk of the money will not
be available until 2027.
Club president Karen Ellis
feared the four courts will be
unusable within two years so
she was appealing for 300 people
to make submissions to the
Long Term Plan on the club’s
behalf by Sunday to hopefully
accelerate the process.
“They flood in the winter
and when it’s cold they ice up
and they’re basically unusable.
They’ve got cracks in them,
they’re in a pretty appalling
condition.”
Ellis and treasurer Nikki
Martin launched their bid
to have the asphalt playing
surfaces repaired in mid-2019,
without success.
“We tried to fundraise for it,
we went to a few places to get
grants but because we don’t own
the courts we couldn’t get any
money,” Ellis said.
“We’ve been fighting for two
years to get it on the plan and now
we’ve got until the 18th (of April)
to get it fast-tracked, to get it done
within the next two years.”
Ellis had no idea how many
submissions had so far been
lodged in support, with council
staff saying they had not yet collated
the responses.

Last-ditch effort to fast track
revamp of netball courts
Problems with the joints, bones,
muscles, and other skeletal
system components have a
range of causes depending on
your age, physical activity, sex,
and state of health.
As we grow older, we start
having joint and bone
problems, typically due to
wear and tear. The cartilage
becomes worn, ligaments
become stretched, and there is
a loss of collagen, elastin and
other essential proteins that
support our joints and bones.
And this leads to different
types of arthritis, especially
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis.
Another cause of joint pain that occurs as we
age is the narrowing of the arteries, limiting
blood supply to the joints and depriving them
of essential nutrients required to keep joints
healthy.
Women are more vulnerable to joint
problems post-menopause due to the loss of
the protection that oestrogen provides for
bones.
Our state of health will also determine what
happens to our joints. Those with a damaged
immune system will have an increased risk
of autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid
and Psoriatic arthritis.
Furthermore, environmental factors will

OPINION
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Readers react last week’s article on the latest
spat between Newstalk’s Mike Hosking and
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern
Should Mike Hosking continue
to interview Ms Ardern?
THat’s a big question. The
trouble is on both sides. Mike is
very aggressive when he doesn’t
like someone and clearly he
doesn’t like the current PM.
But on her part, she has
taken too many lessons from
Helen Clark, is unbelievably
patronising, not just to Mike but
to all listeners, and rarely gives a
straight answer.
On this basis, any more interviews
between these two are
probably pointless, but it does
leave us, as listeners, without an
answer to questions that should
be asked. – Dennys Guild
I think the reason our socalled
PM doesn’t want to front
up on the radio is because she
can’t answer the questions that
get fired at her.
Thank goodness for Mike
Hosking. – Mary Sefton
Mike Hosking is a rude, arrogant,
obnoxious, disrespectful
and argumentative personality.
This does not make for good
journalism, although it appears
a good majority of New Zealand
broadcasters think it does.
What is the point of asking the
same question multiple times
or talking over the person being
interviewed.
I totally support Jacinda
Ardern’s decision to not appear
on his show.
Why would anyone want to
waste their time with him. – B
Wallbridge
We enjoy your (Hosking) programme
but please give Jacinda
the shove. She is incapable of
answering your questions. –
Claire Lawrie
The problem with Hosking
is that he lets his own political
leanings cloud his interviews. He
is simply not objective.
It wouldn’t matter if Jacinda
found a cure for cancer he would
criticise it.
I recall Monday mornings he
would get John Key on and it
was cringe-worthy the way he
indulged Key.
Hosking is rude. He shows no
respect.
Things are never as black and
white as he paints them.
He probably doesn’t want
Jacinda on his trashy programme
because she makes
him look stupid. – Melvyn
Bonner

Hosking when as an interviewer

he shows absolutely no respect
for New Zealand’s Prime Minister.
He never lets Ardern complete
an answer or explanation, always
interrupting to give his biased
opinion regarding his so called
hard questions.
His interviews with Ardern
are a game for him to get his
brownie points by trying to rattle
her.
His open animosity and rudeness
to Ardern and her Labour
Government (voted in by a huge
majority) does not lead to good
investigative journalism, more
like Hosking boosting his own
ego.
We feel he isn’t as rude to his
National Party guests or even
other Government ministers.
This happens on a programme
that is supposed bring us

account. However, I suggest
that the toxic and biased tone of
Hoskings serves little purpose
other than maintaining ratings
as those of like mind tune in and
add their voices and/or confirm
their opinions.
The tone and bias leads to
some, including myself, to refute
the title of ‘journalist’ being applied
to this particular person. –
Chrissie Cope
I would not ever listen to Mike
Hosking. I do not like his smart,
dominating manner or personality.
As for his so-called battle
with Jacinda Ardern, does he
really think that he can push her
to say what he wants her to say?

Jacinda is an amazing woman
doing an amazingly difficult job.
She has done everything in her
power to keep us all safe in New
Zealand. We are free from Covid
because of her.
The one who lacks ‘backbone’
is Mike Hosking hiding behind
his unpleasant manner when
interviewing not only Jacinda
Ardern but others also. – Carol
Gurr
The trouble with Hosking is his
dislike of the Labour Party.
If the National Party was as
successful with Covid response
as Labour has then Hosking
would be full of praise not
continually criticising like he
continues to do now.
He also has no respect for the
prime minister. – Graham
Campbell
Yes, Barry Soper is right you
can’t have it both ways Mike
Hosking.
The question is did he treat Sir
John Key and Helen Clark with
the same respect as the current
Prime Minister. The answer is
no. – D Day
Mike Hosking is a narcissistic,
self serving excessively vain,
Trump-like individual who condemns
anything which conflicts
with his right wing ideology and
‘hubris inflated’ lifestyle.
By contrast, Jacinda Adern
is an honest, caring, intelligent
woman who doesn’t rely on
denigrating others to
enhance her own image.
– E Stokes
No don’t have her back.
I listen to Mike most days and
enjoy his programme.
When Ardern is on she doesn’t
give straight answers and I find
her elusive. Mike often puts her
on the spot and she either gives
that silly laugh or she snipes
back.
She adds nothing. Mike
runs rings around her. – Gina
Anson
I have long noticed the Hosking’s
bias against Labour.
I am glad Ardern chose not to
talk to this creep. I will not listen
to the morning radio because of
him. – Ivan Thomas
The battle between those two,
or between Hosking and the
populace at large is of no concern
to me. I stopped listening to
Newstalk ZB years ago, just to
avoid to have to listen to Hosking.
So I suppose as far as that
is concerned he should keep
talking and agitating only as long
as the listeners tune in. And that
won’t be me. – Nick Konijn
Well, you got what you wanted
Mike – attention!
Get rid of Hosking, he does not
make any sense, he has outlived
his time. – Brian Johnson
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
I understand Mike Hosking’s
frustration with the PM in that
he asks clear direct questions to
which the PM dances around
but doesn’t actually answer the
question. Yes Mike, I want her
back on your show as I find it
revealing to hear her become increasingly
uncomfortable as she
desperately wants it to be over.
One lives with the hope that she
will one day trip up and actually
answer a question. I think of the
court scene in a Few Good Men
and wait in anticipation.
On another topic in last
week’s The Star, long ago in high
school, I had two friends that
suffered with anorexia.
Hearing that there is now a
shortage of professionals to help
is heart breaking. Personal attention
may not be attainable at
the moment but is it not possible
to have small group sessions
headed up with the appropriate
professionals?
It’s a complex issue which isn’t
always about body image, but
can also be about feeling able
to control something in a world
that feels out of control.
Parents and teens need advice
and support networks now, not
in six to 18 months time, or
when there are enough professionals
trained in a few years
time.
Hopefully the Government
will bypass creating a committee
and give funding for on the
ground support now.

Schoolchildren protest
In addressing school children who had taken the day off from
learning to protest about climate, free buses and other things, Mayor
Lianne Dalziel told the children: “We are the first generation to feel
the impacts of climate change, and the last that can do something
about it.”
Really? In effect what the mayor is saying is that climate change is
something new and that prior to the arrival of this youngest generation
the climate was stable and without a worry in the world. One has
to wonder where the mayor was when class was in. There is a not skerrick
of scientific or historical truth in this statement.
What on earth is such a badly informed mayor doing sharing this
ignorance with children who many would say are better off in class
being educated? And to suggest that this latest generation ‘can do
something about’ stopping climate change is surely taking optimism
to the point of lunacy.
For the sake of the good people of Christchurch and their children,
it is to be hoped the mayor is not spreading this nonsense about the
council chamber for fear there will be some dumb decisions emanating.
It is difficult to know where one should start in educating the mayor
on these matters. History books would be a good start. – Geoff Ellis

OPINION
Dalziel column
I read the article in The Star
(April 8) by Lianne Dalziel,
‘Finding out what we have in
common’.
I live in Hornby and I feel I
have nothing in common with
anyone here in Hornby.
I’m Maori, there is no marae
here in Hornby or Wigram.
Hornby has no culture at all,
I want a marae built here in
Hornby or Wigram and then we
can come together and learn all
things Maori.
Then we will have culture
and something in common. –
Joseph Shaw
Maori place
names
I agree with G. S. Smith’s letter
last week regarding too much
Maori language incorporated
with English.
Examples I’ve noticed are
TVNZ newsreaders, Christchurch
Hospital ward receptions. –
David Sinclair
Congratulations to G. S. Smith.
I too disagree with the endless
Maori names that are now overriding
all the English names
appearing in the newspapers and
television.
Our city is Christchurch and
our country is New Zealand. We
have not had any consultation
or referendum to change this. –
Peter Stubbings
Street, reserve
name change plan
I disagree with the person who
says that the names of two streets
and one reserve are “honouring”
the places where child abuse happened
in the past.
The names were chosen for
historical reasons and are just
words. If we go down the path of
extreme political correctness then
some people might find reasons
to advocate changing many thousands
of names in New Zealand.
By the way, I know of one street
in Christchurch named after a
convicted murderer and that
happened only eight years ago. –
Alan Tunnicliffe
After reading this in The Star,
when does it ever stop?
Now they want name changes.
For goodness sake history is
history and the things that went
on are terrible, next it will be
changing names of schools as we
got hit on our backsides and the
leather strap. – Mary Sefton

A SPEEDING motor-cyclist
might narrowly have avoided
death if he’d been doing the
speed limit on a ride to Akaroa, a
coroner has concluded.
Kyle John McKitterick, 48, had
gone on a birthday ride with a
mate on Dyers Pass Rd in Governors
Bay, Canterbury on November
10, 2018, when he collided
with a turning van and died.
Police conducted inquiries into
his death before passing the file
on to Coroner Marcus Elliott.
In the coroner’s findings,
released today, a full narrative
of events leading up to McKitterick’s
death is revealed for the
first time.
The experienced rider had set
out with a friend, Tracy Durham
from Christchurch that morning
for a ride to Akaroa.
On the way back in the afternoon,
with a third, unknown
motor-cyclist riding behind
them, they were travelling
through the Governors Bay
township when tragedy struck.
As they travelled north
through a 60km/h zone, McKitterick,
on a Benelli Tornado 1130
motorcycle, accelerated.
As they went up the hill, there
was a southbound Toyota Hiace
van ahead of them, turning right
into a driveway.
McKitterick’s friend Durham
rode past the van and then it
started to turn into the driveway.
The van driver, Duncan Harvest,
later told police he “believed it
was safe to turn into the driveway”.
“As I was turning, I didn’t
think the bikes could have hit me
as I was looking up the drive,”
Harvest said.
“I don’t remember the crash
very well. I remember the car
spun slightly with what I thought
must have been the motorcyclist.”
When asked by police why he
believed it was safe to turn into
the driveway, Harvest replied:
“I thought there was enough
Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz
Speed a factor in fatal ride – coroner rules
of a gap, because I was already
moving at a slow speed, so therefore
you have a bit of a run-up
anyway and I thought there was
enough space.”
Paramedics rushed to the
scene and took McKitterick to
hospital, where he died in the
emergency department.
Canterbury Police Senior Constable
John Isitt serious crash
unit found McKitterick was
initially travelling at a minimum
speed of between 89–95km/h
and had been between 42m and
61.5m away from the point of
impact when Harvest started
moving across his path.
“If Mr McKitterick was riding

SUPPLIED
at 60km/h, and he braked at the
same location, then he would
have been able to stop in 16.87m,
well short of the impact area,”
Isitt found.
Police did not lay any charges
against Harvest in relation to the
collision.
Durham, however, carried out
some tests of his own at the scene
and questioned why Harvest
turned in front of the oncoming
motor-cycles.
Durham also highlighted the
road code, which states that if
turning right on an open road,
you must pull over to the left,
then do a right-angle turn once
there is no oncoming traffic.
Thursday April 15 2021 The Star
NEWS 25
But the police pointed out
there was insufficient room at the
location for a driver to pull over
completely to the left prior to
turning right into the driveway.
The coroner highlighted Isitt’s
calculations that, if McKitterick
had been travelling within the
speed limit, he would have been
able to stop well before the point
of collision.
“This means that, even though
Mr Harvest’s action of crossing
the road created the danger of a
collision, the danger was exacerbated
and a crash resulted due to
the speed at which Mr McKitterick
was travelling,” Elliott said.
“If he had been travelling within
the speed limit, he would have
been able to avoid this danger.”
Given the road code’s advice
around speed limits, the coroner
did not find it necessary to make
any recommendations.
But to try to reduce the
chances of deaths in similar
circumstances, he commented:
“This crash illustrates that, as
the road code states, ‘turning
can be dangerous, because it
usually means you have to cross
the path of other vehicles.’ It also
illustrates the danger associated
with driving in excess of the
speed limit.”
The coroner offered his
condolences to McKitterick’s
family.

Canty cricketers cap off record season at gala event
• By Tatiana Gibbs
CANTERBURY CRICKET
popped the final champagne
bottle of the season on Friday
night, celebrating a record
summer in which they won four
of five contested domestic titles.
Frances Mackay and Daryl
Mitchell both took home the
Players’ Player awards, as voted
by their fellow teammates. It
recognised their outstanding
individual performances
throughout the season, which was
affirmed again when both Mackay
and Mitchell took out the women’s
and men’s Player of the Year
awards for their contributions
with both bat and ball.
Mitchell cemented a debut
season of the ages for Canterbury
after making the move from
Northern Districts. He was
described as the “foundation of
success” for the men’s side. The
batting all-rounder scored 692
runs across all three formats,
including achieving his maiden
first class century for Canterbury,
as well as taking 29 wickets
throughout the season.
Captain Mackay won the
women’s Player of the Year title
for the sixth time, and added
the women’s Bowler of the Year
award to her season collection.
Mackay earned herself a White
Ferns recall this season following
her all-round efforts, scoring
665 runs and taking 34 wickets
across both formats of the game
in the domestic season.
The Canterbury Magicians
were domestic double champions,
winning the Dream11 T20
Super Smash final in dramatic
fashion, clinching victory over
the Wellington Blaze in the final
over, led by a Kate Ebrahim and
Lea Tahuhu run chase.
The women’s side secured
the double by winning the
Hallyburton Johnstone Shield
one day competition, comfortably
beating the Auckland Hearts in
the final match by eight wickets,
guided by top order batting
experience of Frankie Mackay
and Amy Satterthwaite.
“It’s that nice feeling that we
are the best team in the country

and that other teams are going
to really come hard for us, so we
need to make sure that we make
those same gains once again,”
Mackay said.
“Because everyone loves to
beat the Cantabs, and everyone
especially loves to beat the Cantabs
when they’ve got the trophies
locked up in their trophy cabinet.”
The Canterbury men came
close to achieving a historic first
three-peat, winning the Plunket
Shield four-day title with two
rounds to spare, and blasting to
victory over Northern Districts
in the Ford Trophy one day final
on the back of an unbroken
Henry Nicholls century.
Captain Cole McConchie
discussed Canterbury’s
momentum: “We got onto a roll
this season and I think that’s a
testament to the whole squad. We
had a squad of 25 men this season
that all stood up at different stages
… and to come away with two
titles is really pleasing.”
The men were denied a
clean sweep by the Wellington
Firebirds in the Dream11 T20
Super Smash final, who defeated
Canterbury in the final over.
“No one’s ever done the threepeat
in men’s domestic cricket,”
McConchie said.
“We’re really hungry to create
history and go after the threepeat,
and I’m sure we won’t stop
until we get there.”

Half-price entry at Quake City during school holidays
Can you believe it’s been more than
a decade since we were rocked by the
Canterbury earthquakes?
Quake City, Canterbury Museum’s
special exhibition about the earthquakes,
located at 299 Durham Street North, is a
great spot to reflect on how life changed
in the wake of the quakes.
During the school holidays the Museum
is running a half-price special on entry to
Quake City. With accompanied children
under 15 free, Quake City is a fascinating
and affordable outing for all the family.
If your children are too young to
remember the earthquakes, Quake City
is a great place to teach them about the
earthquakes that have shaped their city.
See treasures rescued from the rubble
including the spire of ChristChurch
Cathedral and the Great Bell from the
Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.

scarecrow trail
SATURDAY APRIL 17
TO SUNDAY May 2
Awesome school holiday activity
only $10 - cash only please
Info & Maps available from the
METHVEN information hub
It’s on again in April!
Fantastic school holiday event in Methven
Every year in the April school holidays the rural mid-
Canterbury town and ski village of Methven runs the
Methven Scarecrow Trail where participants hunt for the
scarecrows, try to guess the characters they represent
and vote for their favourite scarecrow creation. There are
sponsored prizes for most correct entries and best scarecrow.
Last year this popular event had to be postponed due
to Covid Level 4 lockdown and was held in the October
holidays instead. The organizers wanted to return the 2021
Scarecrow Trail to the April holidays slot but were concerned
that the scarecrow makers may be reluctant to launch into
creative mode again so soon.
The request for expressions of interest was sent out and
the organisers decided that if there were 20 entries, half of
the usual number of 40, then it would go ahead. There was
an immediate response indicating renewed support from the
sponsors, Four Square Supermarket, Brinkley Resort, Jackson
Holmes, Philip Wareing and the Methven Community Board.
This was quickly followed by a flurry of entries from many
previous scarecrow creators and a number of enthusiastic
entries from newcomers.
Did entries reach the required 20 entries? They surely did
and entries were oversubscribed within days. The organizers
have had to limit the entries to 40 scarecrow locations to
make the Trail manageable for participants.
So it is all on for the April school holidays:
Theme: Children’s
Storybook Characters
Dates: Commencing Saturday April 17
and ending on Sunday May 2
Trail maps and Entry forms for $10 per group (cash only)
available from the iHub or Four Square Supermarket.
Proceeds from the sale of maps go to a local charity.

FOCUS ON HEALTH
Not all health supplements
are created equal
Many health supplements on the
market today are made more to a
price rather than optimum beneficial
quality. Most supplements are made
to high manufacturing standards but
the ingredients are not always the most
researched or beneficial type of nutrients.
The other big problem is the dosage of
certain nutrients. Manufactures often
include nutrients to look good on the label
but the amount is nowhere a beneficial
dosage. As an example some multi-vitamin
formulas contain only 5mg of vitamin C.
This dosage is of no benefit at all.
Another problem is the type of nutrients
used. An example is folate, the active form
of vitamin B9 as naturally found in food.
Folate has been clinically researched and
shown to be highly beneficial. However
folic acid is commonly used as B9 as it
is cheaper but it does not have the same
research and may even be harmful in
higher dosages. Potentially this also may
leave the body deficient of this important
vitamin.
This is just one example but there are
many more.
At Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy
we have been highly impressed by the
range of health supplements from the
New Zealand brand “Be Pure.” Founded
by clinical nutritionist Ben Warren, who
saw first-hand the impact of nutritional
deficiencies on patients in his Auckland
clinic. Realising there was a lack of
products using high-quality, researched
ingredients in sufficient amounts, he set
out 16 years ago to develop New Zealand’s
most effective nutritional supplements.
At Marshall’s we can confidently
recommend the Be Pure range as
exceptional health supplements. The
feedback we receive has been incredible
with many customers telling us they can
really notice the difference in their body.
The full Be Pure range is available
from us at Marshall’s Health and Natural
Therapy in New Brighton. Our natural
health advisers, naturopath and medical

your requirements and give you more

Petersgate
Counselling Centre
silver anniversary
1996-2021
Celebrating 25 years
Are your feeling stressed
With restrictions on how we can
interact with others and the uncertainty
of what may happen next, it is
understandable that Covid-19 is causing
exhaustion, frustration and fearfulness.
“This crisis within a crisis will not
disappear once people are vaccinated”,
Gray Crawford, Business Manager at
Petersgate Counselling Centre predicts.
“The vaccine will stop the physical
symptoms but the virus’s mental health
tail will continue for years to come”.
Everyone reacts differently to difficult
events, but according to recent studies
over half of all New Zealanders are
currently struggling to cope with financial
insecurity, social isolation and disruption
to comfortable routines, all known risk
factors for depression and anxiety.
Unfortunately, the majority of these
people find it difficult to then take the
necessary steps to become well. If they
had a physical injury then they wouldn’t
hesitate to get medical attention. But
depression isolates people, anxiety makes
people fake being OK, grief lets people
suffer in silence believing that time will
heal and anger is always the other person’s
fault. Sometimes these changes in mental
wellbeing go undiagnosed for years,
often dismissed as just part of the normal
ageing process.
Petersgate Counselling Centre has
certainly noticed a huge increase in
people presenting for counselling with far
more complex mental health challenges.
Established in April 1996 Petersgate’s
initial focus was to provide affordable
professional counselling for the people
of west Christchurch. Today Petersgate is
one of the largest and busiest counselling
centres in Christchurch. Our 26 tertiary
trained counsellors and 24 reception
volunteers now assisting 1,200 clients
annually, totalling over 7,000 counselling
hours.
Examples are youth now resorting
to addictive behaviours such as drugs
and alcohol while also binging on social
media, the more sensationalized and
conflicting content resulting in further
distress. Elderly finding it difficult to
adjust to the new “normal”, the lack of
physical contact with others evolving
OPTIMUM HEALTH & WELLBEING
Most health supplements are manufactured
to a very high standard, however they do
not always contain the most beneficial types
of nutrients, or in sufficient amounts to offer
optimum health benefits. Manufactures
often use synthetic nutrients that have less
research than the active forms to keep
costs down. Quality health products contain
clinically researched ingredients in sufficient
amounts, as shown in research, to offer the
most beneficial results.
Clinical nutritionist Ben Warren could see
this downfall & created the BePURE brand
in N.Z. He says “If you’re giving your body
what it needs in terms of nutrients & lifestyle
factors, it can efficiently rebuild itself back
to optimal health”.
BIOAVAILABLE

Family connection on edge for Panthers
• By Chris Barclay
WHEN FORMER New
Zealand Warrior Corey Lawrie
introduced his boy Jayton to
rugby league on the frozen
fields of Doncaster in England’s
north as a four-year-old, he
never imagined they would play
premier grade together.
Yet that scenario unfolded last
weekend when dad answered an
SOS and his teenage son debuted
for their beloved Hornby Panthers
against Riccarton in the
opening round of the Canterbury
Rugby League premiership.
Corey reckoned he’s the lightest
second rower in the competition
at 88kg; Jayton made the
step from captaining the club’s
under-18 team, scoring a brace
on the wing during the 40-6 victory
over the Knights.
They combined on the right
edge, a security blanket for both
after they were unexpectedly
thrust into the top line-up by
Hornby coach Jed Lawrie, Corey’s
brother.
“I was quite happy to just play
Bs this year but Jed was a bit
short of second rowers. I’m 41, I
feel like 81,” Lawrie joked ahead
of a round two clash with the
Papanui Tigers.
“I did an eight-week challenge
a couple of months ago. I lost 7kg
and I can’t seem to put it back
on.”
Lawrie played four games off
the bench as a utility player for
the Warriors in 2007, before
heading to England the following
year.
He resumed his playing career
at the Panthers when he returned
home in 2009.
“I’m not embarrassing myself
yet, when that happens I’ll pull
the pin. At the moment I’m still
competing pretty well.”
Jayton, meanwhile, was rewarded
for a strong off-season.
“It’s always good to see your
son achieve something he’s been
aiming for. He’s worked hard
for the opportunity,” said Corey,

Canterbury Rugby League Premiership.
who played down his parental
guardian role.
“You always worry you’re
going to have a dust up with
someone if they rark him
(Jayton) up too much, but he can
look after himself, the kid.”
Jayton was rapt with his debut,
and said dad helped calm the
nerves.
“Having him out there helped,
he gave me a bit of ball too with
us being on the same edge.”
Jayton only had one clear
memory of starting out in
Doncaster: “All I remember is
the snow really,” he said.
While happy to make his
premier grade debut, Jayton
said the under-18s, who play
on Monday night, were still a
priority so he would have to
manage his workload.
“I might miss a few premier
games to help my body out, I still
want to help that (under-18) side
out,” he said.
Papanui defaulted to Halswell
last weekend, but Canterbury
Rugby League chief executive
Duane Fyfe believed the Tigers
would front on Saturday.
“I know they’ve got
some challenges player-numbers
wise but they’re confident they’ll
be able to put a team out,” he
said.
Corey felt for Papanui’s plight.
“That’s the state of rugby
league at the moment, everyone
is a bit light on numbers these
days. I’m playing because our
numbers were a wee bit dicey.”
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 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

won his first Optimist national championships by a
comfortable margin in Auckland.

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
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 he built with 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

Off-field victory now priority for Marist veteran
• By Chris Barclay
ROWAN O’GORMAN had
a win to savour when Marist
Albion avenged their Metro
Premier final loss to Lincoln
University, though the veteran
hooker has a more important
positive outcome in mind.
O’Gorman came off the bench
during the 26-18 opening round
victory at Lincoln on Saturday,
some consolation after Marist
Albion lost last season’s decider,
30-29, after they conceded a lastminute
try.
While the victory was welcome
– and edges him closer to Tala
Kele’s record of 330 games for
Marist – O’Gorman is more
interested in a win off the field as
wife Jennifer continues to battle
breast cancer.
She was diagnosed during the
Covid-19 lockdown last year, and
so far the recovery has gone to
plan.
“We had a good meeting
with the doctors last Thursday,
she’s got a mammogram in two
weeks to get the proper all clear,”
O’Gorman said.
“She’s finished chemo and
radiation, now we’re waiting for
this last bit and hopefully it’s all
done. Fingers crossed.”
O’Gorman might have faced
A 74-YEAR-OLD is set to
take to the field to represent
Canterbury at the National Touch
Championships in Christchurch,
which get under way today.
Barry Clausen is a member of
the over-55 men’s side at the tournament,
which plays out at Ngā
Puna Wai until Sunday.
Unfazed at being the oldest
player to feature, Clausen said it
was “important to just do your
best in the position you have been
selected for”.
“I don’t have a problem or think
about the age gap when playing
against younger players,” he said.
“I think the secret to my success
and fitness is setting goals and
staying motivated.
“It’s also exciting to be playing
in my hometown for the nationals,
and Ngā Puna Wai is a great
venue. Christchurch has always
enforced retirement had Jennifer’s
health deteriorated.
“If it was similar to last year
– if Jen had to do the treatment
again it would have been pretty
tough,” he said.
Jennifer was not able to watch
Marist Albion on Saturday but
one of the couple’s two boys, fiveyear-old
Noah, will be on hand
all season with the kicking tee.
O’Gorman now has 318 appearances
for the club, and is still
had a certain friendly, welcoming
vibe.”
Clausen, who still works 30
hours a week as a cleaner, played
his first touch game 23 years ago.
He was looking for a social
game, even though at the time
he did not know much about the
sport.
“I played rugby from a young
age and through the grades, along
with athletics, cross-country and
road racing, judo, masters rugby
and masters rugby league,” he
said.
“And I am still playing league.”
With more than 70 teams in
action over four days, thousands
of players - including past and
present Touch Blacks - and supporters
from across the country
will be at Ngā Puna Wai.
About 1200 touch players, the
youngest of which will be 16, will
targeting the former Canterbury
prop’s milestone.
“I’ve still got Tala is my sights,
the body’s still good,” he said.
Lincoln University, who have
won the title five times in the last
six years, were admittedly understrength
last weekend with head
coach Alex Robertson and seven
players on duty with the Crusaders
under-20s squad in Taupo.
“They had a few people away,
their head coach wasn’t there as
contest the under-21, open or
masters titles.
City council recreation and
sports services manager David
Bailey said the event “puts
Christchurch in the box seat to
showcase Ngā Puna Wai and the
city’s attractions to a national
audience”.
Entry is free, and food vendors,
bouncy castles and face-painting
to entertain the younger spectators
will be available.
Teams from the masters grades
will be on the field from today
to Saturday, while the open and
under-21 sides will play from
tomorrow to Sunday.
SEASONED: Barry Clausen,
74, is the oldest player to
feature in the National
Touch Championships at
Nga Puna Wai.
WIN-WIN: Jennifer
O’Gorman is
making promising
progress battling
breast cancer, while
her husband, Marist
Albion veteran
Rowan O’Gorman,
could also savour
a season-opening
win over defending
Christchurch
Metro Premier Cup
champions Lincoln
University.
well so that all helps,” he said.
“Our boys still fronted and
played well.”
Lincoln still featured two
members of the Crusaders Super
Rugby Aotearoa squad, first
five-eighth Brett Cameron and
promising tighthead prop Fletcher
Newell; Marist Albion started
Crusaders wing Manasa Mataele.
Meanwhile, Christchurch paid
tribute to club stalwart Nigel
Mahan, who died after a heart
attack on April 1, with a 26-11
win over Burnside.
The other first round winners
were Linwood, Shirley and
New Brighton while Belfast and
Sumner played out a draw.

THE CRUSADERS can’t take
any solace from injured All

sidelined for their breakdown
battle with the Chiefs in

with Luke Jacobson enjoying a

since his debut in 2018.
Injuries have frequently conspired
against the 23-year-old
but leading into the round eight
clash at Waikato Stadium he has
played every minute of a Chiefs
campaign invigorated by three
consecutive victories since a 39-
17 defeat in Christchurch.
The Crusaders would appreciate
that level of durability
in their loose trio with injurycursed
Tom Sanders unavailable

Sanders may make a rare start
at openside alongside Blackadder
and Cullen Grace if Robertson
opts to redeploy Sione Havili

The Crusaders have locked

but need to win to secure home
advantage.

Bright spot in Mitsubishi’s SUV range
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 frontdriver
at $41,990. The four-wheeldrive
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 walletfriendly
6l/100km instantaneous
figure sitting at a steady 100km/h,
• 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
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.

Get your home noticed
You’ll want your home to look attractive and appealing
for potential home buyers so check out these following
tips to get your home ready for open homes...
• First impressions count: Clear away
shoes, coats and other items to make
your front entrance look clean and
welcoming.
• Create natural light: Open all curtains
and/or blinds; turn on lights for open
home days.
• Keep it clean: A clean house and well
cared for section will be far more
appealing to a buyer; get rid of cobwebs;
shine the taps; polish the windows
and doorknobs; wash and vacuum the
floors.
• De-clutter every room: This is the most
important. Clean counters, tables, coffee
tables and wall units. Clutter really
attracts the eye and takes away from the
beauty of the home.
• Kitchen/Dining: Remove all
unnecessary items; keep the benches
clean and clear; remove all used tea
towels and dishcloths; use flowers to
brighten up the dining table.
• Bathroom: We all have clutter in the
bathroom – toothbrushes, creams,
toothpaste etc. Before the potential

buyers arrive put all the clutter into a
small box, which can easily be stored
out of sight. Place clean colour coordinated
towels, neatly folded, onto the
towel rail.
• Bedroom: Use colour coordinated
bedcovers and linen; plump up your
pillows; straighten the valance; put all
clothing and person items out of sight.
• Make your room look bigger: rearrange
furniture to create more floor space.
• Move toys out of living areas: Keep
them in the rumpus room or the
children’s bedrooms.
• Check your cords, cables and wires:
Tuck and hide those cords away or
simply unplug them.
• Keep pets out of sight: Prospective
buyers don’t want pets leaping at them
or they may be even allergic to pet hair,
so keep them out of sight or away for
photography and open home days.
• Clean up your section and garage:
Keep lawns mowed, gardens weeded,
hoses

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT ACT 1991
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.
