hub 

changes 

under way 

IMPROVEMENTS are coming 

for the 1400 passengers a day who 

board buses near the Eastgate 

Shopping Centre. 

City council contractors have 

now started construction on 

creating an improved public 

transport hub on Buckleys Rd. 

“The Buckleys Rd public 

transport hub is one of the busiest 

in Christchurch, with about 

470 buses using the bus stops 

daily,’’ said city council transport 

planning and delivery manager 

Lynette Ellis. 

“As part of our ongoing commitment 

to improving public 

transport facilities around the 

city, we are going to make changes 

to the road layout so that it is 

easier and safer for people to access 

these bus stops.” 

The existing bus stops will 

be grouped together and a new, 

signalised pedestrian crossing will 

be installed to make it easier for 

people to get across Buckleys Rd. 

New and improved bus shelters 

to create a “pleasant space” for 

passengers while they wait for a 

bus is also being constructed.

Garage operation no longer viable for charity 

• By Bea Gooding 

A CHARITY that has supplied 

hundreds of emergency baby 

supplies for vulnerable families 

needs a new home, and it will 

take a village to get there. 

It Takes a Village Canterbury 

currently operates out of the 

garages of two volunteers, but it’s 

no longer safe or realistic to do 

so, given they live more than 30 

minutes apart. 

Keeping up with increasing 

demand – while clambering 

over towers of donated clothing, 

toys, feeding and bathing items, 

nappies, linen and high chairs – 

produced issues only a dedicated, 

permanent facility could fix. 

“It’s getting to the point now 

where it’s becoming unsafe. We 

both have families, and the kids 

climb all over this stuff in the 

garage,” said Jess Roberts, who is 

in charge of the toddler bundles. 

“We need a proper place where 

people can donate items to, 

where we can store, pack and 

distribute bundles.” 

The Canterbury-based charity 

donates free baby and toddler 

bundles to families who may not 

be able to afford basic items for 

their children. 

The charity sources the items 

from others through a number of 

pay-it-forward Facebook groups 

started by the charity in 2016.

Canterbury was established in 

2017 as a way to share resources 

to where it was most needed. 

Now consisting of more than 

20,000 members who regularly 

pay it forward, the small team of 

volunteers are struggling to keep 

up with the mammoth task of 

sorting through donations.

Donations were currently 

being sorted and stored at the 

homes of bundle managers 

Danielle Petterd and Roberts, 

who have to travel back and forth 

from Kaiapoi and Southshore. 

But as the amount of donations 

continues to grow, so does 

the demand for the families 

receiving them. 

Since 2019, the charity has 

put together no more than 200 

bundles a year on average. 

In the wake of Covid-19, 

demand increased significantly 

in the last 12 months. 

“It’s just getting bigger because 

more and more people need help, 

especially because of Covid-19,” 

Roberts said. 

“We’ve already made 70 [bundles] 

this year, but by the end of 

the year, I think it’ll be 700. 

“We do this in our spare 

time, and this is taking over our 

spare time now. It’s very clearly 

become full-time, but I can’t 

make 27 bundles a month, work 

full-time and be a mum.” 

Needing a permanent facility 

did not mean the charity wanted 

to build a new one from scratch. 

In line with its ethos on 

sustainability, where it prevents 

thousands of items from making 

their way to landfill, an existing 

building was all that was needed, 

like an old doctor’s office. 

More than $27,000 was needed 

through its Givealittle fundraiser 

to go towards rent, operational 

costs, and the ability to hold 

workshops. 

Said Roberts: “Part of our 

ethos is sustainability, and there 

are enough empty places in 

Christchurch. If we had a dedicated 

space, then we could look 

at the option of a delivery service 

as a lot of people don’t drive. 

“We’re also looking for some 

space available to run classes to 

help these families, like how to 

reduce your food bill and still 

enjoy it – where you can help 

yourself, but you need someone 

to show you how.”

Chance for girls 

to learn new 

techniques 

•From page 1 

Eden and Milla were ecstatic 

when the Tactix took the win on 

home turf. The sisters enjoyed 

chatting to the captains saying: 

“We told them we play netball and 

how we won our games for Parklands 

Netball Club last weekend – 

they were impressed,” Milla said. 

For Eden, meeting the captains 

was a huge moment. “They’re 

really inspiring to me. I love how 

they play the game, how quick 

they get the ball, and how good 

their passes are down the court. 

I want to try to bring their spirit 

into my own games,” Eden said. 

Both sisters plan to try out some 

of the elite techniques they saw on 

the court this season. 

“Ellie Bird really inspires me. 

She brings the defence out and 

then runs back into the circle 

with the ball. Plus, my teammates 

cheering helps me to get the goal,” 

Milla said. 

“I really want to try getting 

quicker passes into the circle 

and focus more on my shooting. 

Because usually when I have the 

ball in my hand I am panicking,” 

Eden said. 

ANZ head of sponsorship Sue 

McGregor said ANZ is committed 

to its support of netballers from 

local players right up to the elite 

athletes. 

CHANGES: Construction to improve one of the city’s busiest bus hubs on Buckleys Rd by Eastgate Shopping Centre has 

now started. 

IMAGE: NEWSLINE 

Project will take around four months to complete 

• From page 1 

To enable all these changes 

to happen, Norwich St will be 

turned into a cul-de-sac. This 

will be one of the first changes. 

“We’ve had issues in the past 

with buses blocking people’s 

driveways, but the changes we 

are making should reduce the 

likelihood of that happening,’’ 

Ellis said. 

The transport hub improvements 

are likely to take about 

four months to complete. The 

contractors will be carrying out 

some of the work at night when 

there is less traffic around. 

Said Ellis: “Buses will be running 

to their normal timetables 

during the construction period 

but the location of some of the 

bus stops may change. If you are 

catching a bus at Eastgate, please 

allow a little extra time.”

Temporary ban on freedom camping at 

North Beach could be made permanent 

Freedom campers on 

Marine Pde. 

BYLAW: Freedom camping at North Beach could be 

permanently banned under proposed bylaw changes. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

THE CITY council is calling 

for public feedback on proposed 

changes to the Freedom Camping 

Bylaw. 

This week marked the beginning 

of a five-week consultation 

period. 

“We invite people to have their 

say on the bylaw changes that we 

are proposing,’’ said city council 

head of strategic policy Emma 

Davis. “The feedback we get from 

people will be important as it will 

influence the final form of the 

Freedom Camping Bylaw.’’ 

The bylaw has been in place 

for five years and legally has 

to be reviewed. The bylaw has 

generally been working well, but 

council staff are recommending a 

small number of changes. 

Those changes include: 

• Making the temporary ban 

on freedom camping in the 

North Beach carpark permanent. 

The ban would apply at weekends 

from October to May. 

• Creating a city coastal 

restricted zone where freedom 

campers could stay for up to four 

nights in any 30-day period. 

This would replace the current 

rule, which allows campers to 

stay for two nights in a 30-day 

period, but not within 500 

metres of where they have 

previously stayed. This new zone 

will prevent campers using the 

500 metre rule to move short 

distances every few days to stay 

in the coastal area for extended 

periods of time. 

• Introducing a new rule to 

encourage campers to be more 

careful about how they set up 

their camping vehicles and any 

other camping gear. The rule 

would prevent campers from 

blocking thoroughfares and 

spreading out, particularly in 

busy car parks, where other users 

need access and where it could be 

a safety issue. 

• Creating a specified area at 

Naval Point in Lyttelton where 

freedom campers can stay, and 

limiting the number of freedom 

camping spots to 18 vehicles. 

At the same time as the city 

council has been proposing local 

changes, the Government has 

been proposing national changes. 

The Government proposals are 

likely to lead to changes to the 

Freedom Camping Act, but won’t 

be finalised for some time. 

“This is a separate process to 

the council’s bylaw review,” said 

Ms Davis. 

“It’s important that we continue 

the process to review our bylaw, 

or the bylaw will lapse, leaving us 

with no bylaw to manage freedom 

camping. There’s strong public 

support for the bylaw, so we don’t 

want that to happen.” 

The city council’s bylaw process 

will be completed before changes 

to the Freedom Camping Act 

are finalised.

Fruity initiative helps locals in need 

• By Samantha Mythen 

THE FRUITS of a community 

organisation’s labour have 

resulted in the donation of 

boxes of cleaning products and 

personal hygiene items to the St 

Ambrose Church Aranui Food 

Bank. 

The Heathcote Valley 

Community Fruit Harvesting 

group made $180 in two hours 

selling quince and marmalade 

made from fruit off trees on 

the properties of Heathcote 

residents. 

This money, paired with a 

voucher donated from New 

World Woolston, was spent on 

cleaning products and hygiene 

items such as sanitary products, 

razers and soap, which were 

donated to St Ambrose Church 

Aranui Food Bank on Friday. 

The food bank provides 

support to those living in 

Burwood and Pegasus. 

Heathcote residents Paula 

Aitken and Amelia Knight-Baré 

started the harvesting group 

last year. They usually donate 

fresh fruit, homemade jam and 

marmalade to the food bank. 

A team of other volunteers also 

helped to make the preserves. 

Following a recent 

conversation with the food 

bank, Aitken and Knight-Baré 

thought of donating the essential 

cleaning and hygiene products. 

“If you can’t afford to buy 

food, you won’t be going to 

the supermarket to get those 

products,” said Aitken. 

Aitken and Knight-Baré did 

not know each other prior to 

starting their group. 

However, they were sharing 

the same idea, wondering about 

what to do with all the excess 

fruit on trees in the valley. 

A mutual friend brought them 

together and the group was 

formed last year. 

The goal is to pick unwanted 

fruit from backyards and 

orchards to share with those in 

need. 

Aitken explained ‘fruit fatigue’ 

is one of the issues with fruit 

waste. 

“Some trees produce huge 

quantities of fruit, year after 

year, which can become 

burdensome to homeowners. 

Busy people often lack the time it 

needs to harvest fruit trees, and 

to deal with a large quantity of

fruit,” she said. 

Aitken said they are both 

concerned about the rising cost 

of living, and how this filters to 

the families food budget. 

“We are mindful that fresh 

fruit can be a luxury for some 

whanau, so have jumped at the 

chance to redistribute fruit 

that would otherwise have gone 

to waste,” she said. 

Aitken said one of the most 

special things was meeting 

people in the community and 

making connections, especially 

with those who live alone. 

“Heathcote Valley is a generous 

community, and has been a 

continuous source of support for 

our initiative,” she said. 

They are hoping to see more 

community fruit harvesting 

around Christchurch, 

planning to advertise on 

community message boards to 

link up with like-minded people. 

“We would love to see 

community fruit harvesting in 

every area in Christchurch, and 

we’re willing to support those 

wanting to start up their own 

group,” Aitken said. 

The group can be found on 

Facebook – Heathcote Valley 

Community Fruit Harvesting.

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at

HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home both 

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved 

by using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in designing, 

installing and commissioning these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 90 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community Services 

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in 

a low-income area as determined by deciles 

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations coming in for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

now is a great time to beat the deadline. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can lead 

to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system for 

your home or business, one of Enviro Master’s 

experts will visit to assess your individual 

situation, offer advice and answer any 

questions you may have. This consultation 

is at no cost to the customer and is always 

provided before a heat pump is installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz. 

Bathroom ventilation 

The extraction of air from the bathroom 

should be a priority for all houses and 

commercial buildings. 

Bathrooms can generate a large quantity 

of steam and odours. It is important 

this compromised air does not circulate 

around the house. 

Bathroom odours can be unpleasant, 

especially when near living, sleeping or 

working areas. 

The moisture generated by showers and 

baths can be damaging to your home and 

furnishings and be a major contribution 

to condensation. Damp houses are not a 

healthy environment for anyone to live in, 

especially for children or other vulnerable 

people. 

By extracting air from the bathroom to 

outside, warmer air from inside the house 

will move in to the bathroom. Whereas 

opening a window can draw cold air 

into the bathroom and blow the smelly, 

moisture laden 

bathroom air into 

the house. 

Modern houses 

are built to be 

very airtight and 

require mechanical 

ventilation such 

as extraction fans 

or heat exchanger 

systems. Although 

older houses can 

be draughty, the air 

often flows in the 

wrong direction. 

Therefore, they also 

usually require mechanical ventilation to 

keep the air quality higher. 

The quality of the air we breathe affects 

our health and ability to perform. We 

breathe in and out approximately 20,000 

litres of air every day. It is therefore very 

important to ensure good air quality 

indoors through adequate ventilation. 

To ensure the quality of your air, contact 

the experts. Smooth-Air Products can 

calculate the required extraction for your 

bathrooms, and look into air exchange for 

your whole building. Smooth-Air offers a 

wide range of ventilation equipment, from 

air vents to ducting for fans, for both the 

commercial and domestic markets. 

They have an extensive range of 

fans and ventilation components 

in-store but they can also provide 

innovative solutions tailored to differing 

requirements. You can contact Smooth- 

Air on 0800 SMOOTH (0800 766684).

Alchemy And Rose 

by Sarah Maine 

Alchemy And Rose was inspired by the last great gold rush on the west coast of 

New Zealand’s South Island in the 1870s. 

The quest for gold lured a flood of hopefuls from Europe, America, Australia and Asia 

and it brought Will from Scotland, with a price on his head. A shipwreck at the mouth 

of the Hokitika river also brought Rose, borne like flotsam upon a wave. It brought 

others too, the disgraced and the determined, each with their own quest to follow. 

Alchemy is the means by which men seek to turn base metal into gold but, for the 

characters in ALCHEMY AND ROSE, there are transformations of another kind. They 

come from the old countries to the new, and follow their quests through recklessness, 

misadventure, mischief and attempted murder. From Scotland to the goldfields of 

New Zealand and on to the booming cities of Victorian Australia they wrestle with fate 

to find their fortunes. 

Other People’s Houses 

by Kelli Hawkins 

The perfect house. The perfect family. Too good to be true. 

Kate Webb still grieves over the loss of her young son. Ten years on, she spends her weekends 

hungover, attending open houses on Sydney’s wealthy north shore and imagining the lives 

of the people who live there. 

Then Kate visits the Harding house - the perfect house with, it seems, the perfect family. A 

photograph captures a kind-looking man, a beautiful woman she knew at university, and a 

boy - a boy that for one heartbreaking moment she believes is her own son. 

When her curiosity turns to obsession, she uncovers the cracks that lie beneath a glossy 

facade of perfection, sordid truths she could never have imagined. 

But is it her imagination? As events start to spiral dangerously out of control, could the real 

threat come from Kate herself? 

The Last Truehart 

by darry Fraser 

A woman alone and a charismatic private detective are caught up in a dangerous quest 

to discover her true identity in this thrilling historical adventure romance set in 19th 

century Victoria, from a bestselling Australian author. 

1898, Geelong, Victoria. Stella Truehart is all alone in the world. Her good-for-nothing 

husband has died violently at the hands of an unknown assailant. Her mother is dead, 

her father deserted them before she was born, and now her kindly Truehart grandparents 

are also in their graves. Private detective Bendigo Barrett has been tasked with finding 

Stella. He believes his client’s intentions are good, but it is evident that someone with 

darker motives is also seeking her. For her own part Stella is fiercely independent, but as 

danger mounts she agrees to work with Bendigo and before long they travel together to 

Sydney to meet his mysterious client where they discover more questions than answers. 

What role do a stolen precious jewel and a long-ago US Civil War ship play in Stella’s 

story? Will sudden bloodshed prevent the resolution of the mystery and stand in the way 

of her feelings for Bendigo? It is time, at last, for the truth to be revealed... 

Pretty Things 

by Janelle Brown 

Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling 

career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in L.A. alongside her 

wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con 

artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when 

her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her 

most audacious, dangerous scam yet. 

Vanessa is a privileged young heiress who wanted to make her mark in the world. Instead 

she becomes an Instagram influencer - traveling the globe, receiving free clothes and 

products, and posing for pictures in exotic locales. But behind the covetable facade is a life 

marked by tragedy. After a broken engagement, Vanessa retreats to her family’s sprawling 

mountain estate, Stonehaven: a mansion of dark secrets not just from Vanessa’s past, but 

from that of a lost and troubled girl named Nina. Nina’s, Vanessa’s, and Lachlan’s paths 

collide here, on the cold shores of Lake Tahoe, where their intertwined lives give way to a 

winter of aspiration and desire, duplicity and revenge. 

Someone We Know 

by Shari Lapena 

It can be hard keeping secrets in a tight-knit neighbourhood. 

In a tranquil, leafy suburb of ordinary streets - one where everyone is polite and friendly 

- an anonymous note has been left at some of the houses. 

‘I’m so sorry. My son has been getting into people’s houses. He’s broken into yours.’ 

Who is this boy, and what might he have uncovered? As whispers start to circulate, 

suspicion mounts. 

And when a missing local woman is found murdered, the tension reaches breaking point. 

Who killed her? Who knows more than they’re telling? And how far will all these very nice 

people go to protect their secrets? 

Maybe you don’t know your neighbour as well as you thought you did . . .
