Community centre may be
rebuilt under new plan
• By Fiona Ellis
CURRENTLY HOME to a
playground and a pump track, 10
Shirley Rd may once again be the
site of a community centre after
the city council’s latest funding
allocations.
An upcoming feasibility study
could set the ball rolling on a $3
million community facility.
The old community centre at
10 Shirley Rd was demolished
following the February 22, 2011
earthquake.
The city council’s Long Term
Plan, approved on June 23,
budgets $3 million towards a
rebuild in the 2031-2032 financial
year.
It also budgets
$35,000 for a
feasibility study to
take place in the
2021-2022 financial
year.

“It’s now with the community,
they’re going to have to drive
that,” Cotter said.

Internet help initiative back on track
• By Fiona Ellis
JEAN BELL is among those
making use of St Albans
Neighbournet, which is back
in action over a decade after
becoming a casualty of the
September 4, 2010, earthquake.
The St Albans Residents Association
programme helps people
who do not have access to a
computer at home or who needed
help using their device.
The a 75-year-old faced a learning
curve after the passing of her
more technologically-minded
husband.
“I’m pretty new to a lot of internet
stuff,” Jean said.
“I’d sort of kept away from it
thinking it was a scary thing, but
it hasn’t been a scary thing. It
opens up the world.”
A query about internet banking
on her tablet brought her to a
Neighbournet session.
It was a helpful and welcoming
environment, she said.
Volunteer Belinda Carter
said the programme came to an
abrupt halt when the old St Albans
Community Centre it was
operating from became unusable.
“We stopped because a wall fell
out of the side of the old community
centre rather dramatically
taking monitors and bench with
it,” Belinda said.

“There was too much uncertainty
after that. The uncertainty
was the biggest challenge.”
This uncertainty ended when
the new St Albans Community
Centre opened in April this year,
providing the programme with a
new home.
In 2010 there were about 12
Neighbournet sessions per week,
but now there were just three sessions
per week.
This was not a problem, as
numbers were also low when the
programme began in the 1990s,
and would pick up with time, she
said.
“It’s great that we can do this.”
She was one of four volunteers
and more were wanted.
“With new volunteers [we can]
eventually build up hours we can
open, and numbers, and therefore
certainty of opening hours.”
A wide range of people of all
ages used their services.
“Everybody needs help
sometimes.”

Council responds to community call for centre
• From page 1
It was possible that the $3
million funding could be
brought foward if a building
plan was ready and viable, she
said.
Funding for a community
facility was not included in
the 2018 Long Term Plan and
Cotter was pleased that it was
included this
time.
“The fact
that it is
in there is
great,” she
said.
“We had to
Joanne Byrne
work really
hard and the
community
had to work really hard to get
it back.”
She thought it unlikely the
issue could fall off the council’s
to-do list again.
“The community will keep it
above the radar.”
Joanne Byrne, spokeswoman
for the 10 Shirley Road group,
helped organise a petition of
over 1200 signatures, which
was presented to the council
in May.
The community was
devastated when funding was
dropped from the last Long
Term Plan and wanted to avoid
a repeat of that scenario, she
said.
She was pleased with the
council’s response.
“It’s been a lot of work, we’re
really relieved,” Byrne said.
She hoped the project
would be brought forward as
planning progressed.
“It’s still a long way out but
I’m hoping that we’ll have a
new community centre before
2030.”
Shirley Recreational Walkers
leader Sue Lang said she hoped
a new community centre
would be built.
The site was currently
home to a pump track and
playground.
“That’s great, but it won’t
meet the needs of the whole
community,” Lang said.
However, she did not trust
the council to pull through on
the project.
“A decade is a long time to
wait for when you’ve already
waited a decade.”
CHANGES: The site
of the old Shirley
Community Centre, 10
Shirley Rd. It now has a
permanent playground.

Nominations for
civic awards open
RECEIVING A Christchurch
Civic Award last year was a big
deal for the young founders of The
Conscious Club.
They run events promoting an
ethical sustainable lifestyle.
Founding member Selina
Faimalo said the award was special
because it came from the community.
“It was quite overwhelming for all
of us to get that recognition from
the community – that people felt
we’d made an impact and would
nominate us.
The founding members met on
social media platform Instagram
two years ago.
Since then Ms Faimalo and Helen
Griffiths, Kophie Su’a Hulsbosch,
Lucinda Ferguson and Pip Currie
have hosted more than 30 events,
including markets, festivals, workshops
and concerts.
Nominations for the 2021
Christchurch Civic Awards are now
open.
THE CYCLE for Sub-Sahara, a
40-hour famine event was held
recently at Medbury School.
Wheels of all shapes and
sizes dominated the grounds
of Medbury School recently as
pupils on bikes, scooters and
skateboards navigated their way
around a course to raise money
and awareness for Sub-Saharan
Africa. Pupils were sponsored
by friends and family for the
World Vision event, raising
more than $7000 for the charity.
Assistant principal Amos
Pilgrim, Medbury’s head of
community service, together
with the support of the student
head of community service,
Nisal Pathirana, and four year 8
house leaders, Drew Edmundson,
Jack Wyllie, Otis Wheeler
and Jack Howard, were instrumental
in planning the event for
all boys from years 1 to 8 and
their teachers.
The fall-out from Covid-19
is compounding the damage
that extreme poverty, climate
change and decades of conflict
have already done to children’s
lives and futures in sub-Saharan
Africa.
The current amount raised
is more than $7000 and
climbing.

The proceeds of scrap metal from
wine caps and can tabs dropped of

Keeping the old post office lines
• By Bea Gooding
“SOME PEOPLE preserve family
heirlooms, some people preserve
cakes, but why? If we stop doing
these things then I think we’ve
lost the plot.”
Those are the words of George
Wealleans, who has mastered the
art of preservation as founder
and inaugural president of the
Ferrymead Post and Telegraph
Historical Society.
It is why the 75-year-old is in
charge of the group responsible
for conserving the country’s
communications’ history in
a 1920s post office building,
nestled within Ferrymead
Heritage Park.
“If I don’t, then who’s going
to?” said Wealleans.
“It’s partly ego, partly a desire
to preserve our history. You
might as well preserve something
you’re keen on.”
The society collects and
restores vintage telegraphy,
telephone and switching systems
mainly from the New Zealand
Post Office and formerly Telecom
New Zealand.
The items, sourced from all
over the country, are in working
order, allowing visitors to get a
feel for what life was like before
the digital age.
The exhibition may look like a
CALLING: George Wealleans with one of the old telephones in the Ferrymead Post and
Telegraph Historical Society building.

museum, but it has not
strayed too far from its original
purpose – the building still
provides postal agency services
and philatelic (postage stamp)
sales.
Wealleans and a few others
established the society in 1977
during a time when the country’s
morse system and telegraph
service were closing down in
1963 and 1988, respectively.
One of the members already
worked at the Ferrymead
tramways, so the heritage park
was seen as the perfect location
to keep the practice alive.
Otherwise, it would have
“ended up on shelves in a shed.”
“When some of the equipment
out there was ready to be
taken out, we wanted to see it
preserved. So I called a meeting
with post officers in town and
established a group,” he said.
“[Now] we have been tasked, or
dumped, with the idea of looking
after this stuff on behalf of the
people of New Zealand.
“But there’s no benefit of
looking after this stuff other than
our hobby.”
Born in Oamaru, Wealleans
was raised in Timaru by his
uncle and aunt when his father
left the picture.
In the 23 years that followed,
he completed school certificate
and locked in his first job at the
Timaru Post Office at 16-yearsold
as a trainee telephone
mechanician.
In search of love, he
relocated to Christchurch in
1971 to get hitched, eventually
building a house, raising three
children of his own, and starting
a new role at the telephone
exchange.

NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz

of communication open
“We’re still at the same address
with the same phone number.”
Wealleans loved the idea
of being able to help facilitate
communication between others.
The biggest change he
witnessed over time was cell
phones. But as someone who
championed communication,
they were “abhorrent,” as they
created too many distractions.
He also prided himself on accuracy
– his boss once said his
wire tying and lacing skills were
always neat. “It’s the technology
too that got me hooked, and
the data from one computer to
another. The theory of how a cell
phone works is just as important
as the piece of equipment,” he
said.
“Each component leads to a
core computer, then it goes out
through a cellular network and
up to a satellite, passing bits of
messages, then back down to say,
the phone of your mate who just
happens to be having lunch in
San Francisco.”
But after 31 years in the

in New Zealand in the 1880s. Left – George Wealleans using some of the old post
office equipment.
PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN
industry, it all changed when he
was made redundant in 1992 –
two years after deciding to take
a decade-long hiatus as president
of the historical society.
He spent the next 17 years after
that working in a factory making
plastic bags before he “weaseled”
his way back into the society’s
presidential role about 10 years
ago.
“In every job I’ve had, there’s
been an element of being your
own master,” said Wealleans.
“Obviously you’re following
the instructions. Like at the
plastic bag machine, you’re given
instructions on how long to
make the bag, but they didn’t tell
you how fast to make it.
“So I fine-tuned the machine a
bit to get it going at say, 65 bags a
minute, instead of 50.”
Wealleans is at the
heritage park nearly every day,
and he would not have it any
other way.
But a major regret was not
becoming an architect after
nearly failing a technical exam in
high school – a dream that
grew momentum the second
he received his first Meccano
set.
Said Wealleans: “I wouldn’t
go as far as saying I’m an artist
but I can visualise things from a
technical perspective, put it on
paper and draw it, like a circuit
diagram. I’ve always treated my
job as a hobby because I love my
work. I’m able to share all my
experiences with a whole lot of
people, even those who aren’t
ex-post office.”

Creative hub set for two-year trial in Roy Stokes Hall
• By Bea Gooding
A NEW creative community hub
will make a permanent home in
New Brighton if a two-year trial
is met with success.
Economic development agency
ChristchurchNZ, which own
Roy Stokes Hall, has agreed to
back the pilot project run by the
Life in Vacant Spaces trust.
This follows
calls last year to
make the
hall available for
more
community
groups, artists
and events
Rachael
Shiels
which is currently
only being
leased to the
Christchurch Circus Trust.
“It’s great to have
[ChristchurchNZ] on board,
it gives it the best chances of
success,” LiVS director Rachael
Shiels said.
“The hall space is one of the
biggest spaces we have in New
Brighton, so as a community asset,
it’s really valuable.”
LiVS partners with landowners
and the community to activate
vacant property across the city,
developing short-term uses for
the space while a permanent
solution was sought.
If projects like the creative

community hub were successful
over a period of time, they could
be made permanent.
ChristchurchNZ urban
development general
manager Cath Carter said
the organisation will have a
supporting role in the next two
years and will co-ordinate the
initial set-up.
This includes helping to secure
funding for any hall upgrades,
outlining a financial model for
the project to be self-sufficient,
and determining the ownership,
governance and operation
structure.
The trial will also determine if
the hall needs upgrading and the
best uses for it.
“The intention is to make the
hall a permanent creative hub,”
said Shiels.
The hall can host between 500
to 600 people and sits on the old
Central New Brighton School
site on Seaview Rd. The land was
purchased off the Ministry of
Education in 2018.
Since the school closed in 2015
as a result of the Canterbury
earthquakes, the hall’s future has
been in limbo.
The site itself, however, was
recently purchased by property
developer DGM Group, which
plans to start building 65 new
homes there in spring.
Shiels said if the circus trust
and residents did not advocate
for the hall to stay in the community,
it would have been
purchased by the developer,
slimming the chances of a hub
coming to fruition.
“The hall was originally
founded and supported by
the community, so it was
really important that it was saved
and given back to [them],” she
said.
The hub could be up and running
in five weeks’ time if all
goes to plan.
So far, “a real mix” of local
arts groups and social needs
organisations have reached out
to the trust.
Said Shiels: “We’re reviewing
the expressions of interest in the
next two weeks, then we’ll be
reaching out to them, putting
some things into action and
playing around with dynamics of
the hall.”

TOP JOB: Denis Aberhart at a press conference with Cricket NZ
operations manager John Reid to announce his appointment as coach.
Stepping out of the game after 50 years
• By Fiona Ellis
FORMER BLACK Caps coach
Denis Aberhart is stepping down
from an educational career
spanning nearly 50 years.
Pupils and staff at Our Lady
of Victories School in Upper
Riccarton will farewell their
principal at an assembly today.
From classroom to cricket
pitch, his process for success has
been the same.
“You want your school to run,
so you put your team together
accordingly, and then you put a
team together to deliver on that,”
Aberhart said.
“Coaching is about providing
the environment, culture and
resources so that people can be
the best that they can be.
“I actually think that we’re
coaches rather than teachers.”
Aberhart, 68, began teaching
in 1975, but took a three-year
break from his educational
career between 2001 and 2003 to
coach the Black Caps.
He enjoyed both careers
but thought he made the
bigger impact in the classroom,
he said.
As a principal, he said he was
helping shape the future of his
pupils and society.
“The role that a principal does
is far more important than the
role a sports coach does.”
Pupils played cricket and other
sports at Our Lady of Victories,
Aberhart said.

“Sports is a good healthy
activity for kids to be involved
in. It teaches great life skills.”
He highlighted teamwork and
sportsmanship as valuable skills
the pupils learned.
Aged 21, he first began
teaching because he felt it was a
career suited to his personality.
“I enjoyed the people side of
things, I felt that it was a skill
that I had. “I enjoyed school.
I had good teachers, so it’s
something I thought I’d like to
do.”
In 1983, he began his first job
WISE HAND: Back Caps captain Stephen Fleming gets some advice from
his coach Denis Aberhart during a practice session.
as principal at St Joseph’s School
in Lyttelton.
It was a small school and he
was still a teacher as well as
principal.
From there, he became
principal at the old St Paul’s
School in Dallington, then
Our Lady of Fatima School in
Mairehau, before taking on his
current role in 2015.
A Catholic himself, he felt
Catholic schools focused on an
element which state schools did
not.
“That is that spiritual
dimension, which I think is
really important.”
The best part of his role was
seeing pupils trying their best
with help from teachers.
“The highlights are really the
staff you work with and the kids.
“Those are the things I’ll
always look back on and hold
dear.”
Uncertainty was the biggest
challenge of being a principal,
he said.
“You come to school and
you don’t know what you’ll be
dealing with.”
He has faced events such as the
February 22, 2011, earthquake,
the 2019 terrorist attack and the
Covid-19 pandemic.
“They’re not necessarily school
issues but you have to deal with
them at school. School really
reflects your community and the
things that are happening in it.”
Technological changes aside,
the biggest change he saw over
the course of his career was how
it became common for both
parents to work outside the
home.
“There’s sometimes not that
same engagement with the
families as there was in the past.
“Teachers are probably
expected to do a lot more in loco
parentis but in the end, the kids
are the same.”
Starting out in his career, his
mission statement was “to get
more and more out of kids rather
than put more and more into
kids,” he said.
“That’s still the same. You
want kids to learn rather than be
taught.”
Seeing former students grow
up and contribute to society
with good jobs and children was
always rewarding, he said.
“It’s great, especially if they
remember you fondly.”
He felt now was the right time
to leave.
“I think the school’s in good
heart, we’ve got an increased roll
and quality staff and we’ve just
had some building work done.
“We were in the mid-120s and
now we have 236 (pupils).
“We’ve got a really good
cultural mix, passionate hard
working staff and a school
community that supports what’s
going on. It’s ready for a new
person to come in and take
over.”
The next principal, Collette
Sandilands, who is currently
acting principal at Sumner
School, will step into the role at
the start of term three.
Top of Aberhart’s to do list in
his retirement is spending time
with his two grandchildren.
He is also interested in taking
up a new role in education
or cricket, and could also see
himself leading tour groups
around wineries.
“I’d like to keep doing
something else on a part time
basis, something to keep me out
of trouble.”
With a dual power pack, it won’t
give up before you do.

“Good stories surprise us; they make

concepts in a way that a PowerPoint

- Jo Lazauskes and Shane Snow, The
Storytelling Edge.
Through May and June, the Real Estate
fraternity (Harcourts gold included) usually
share their stories of success. Full pages in
our daily papers and magazines, billboard
advertisements and various social media
posts to highlight the accomplishments
of numerous top performers. These often
include (at my last count) at least six
different top twenties, each very deserving
of their recognition!
Harcourts gold Papanui have recently been
acknowledged as the number one office
for Harcourts internationally out of over
900 others, for the fourth year running. It’s
an achievement worth celebrating and one
that’s grown from very humble origins.
At our recent in-house awards, I shared our
origin story to the team, and it reminded
me of the years of work that preceded the
minutes of glory.

today - although it once included the West
Coast and Wanaka) and was first formed
in 1998. We purchased the Papanui office
less than six months prior to the franchise
being formed and the leap to take on three
more was an act of blind faith and trust. This
was helped enormously by the support of
our long term mentor Stephen Collins. He
believed strongly in playing life forward and
backing the underdogs (which is what we
definitely were). His belief in us and what
we could accomplish sustained us in the
darkest of moments, and we can never
thank him enough.
Our initial start saw us take on a company
with only five consultants (the majority
having walked out the door when we
walked in), and only 17 listings between us.
With more debt than we could imagine but
a deeply held desire to succeed, we worked
to build the business and our profiles.
There were four partners then (as there is
again now) and although two have since
moved on to other ventures, I am grateful
to both of them for their commitment over
those early years. To be brutally honest with
you – what I do remember from those years
is a bit of a blur.

debts gained, sleepless nights, and the birth

quietly at first but it soon became loudly
acknowledged within the Harcourts brand
nationally as well as internationally.

AUTOMOTIVE PROFESSIONALS
Customers pleased with honest,
reliable vehicle servicing
Having your vehicle regularly serviced is
key to getting the best out of it in terms of
fuel efficiency and reduced wear and tear
on expensive parts.
Kevin, who owns and operates Parker
Automotive in Birmingham Drive,
provides full vehicle servicing to keep your
vehicle running smoothly, as well as WOFs,
batteries and tyres.
He also carries out all mechanical repairs,
including cam belt replacement, suspension
work, clutch and gearbox repairs, only
repairing what’s necessary, and without
charging the earth.
He has owned the business since 2007,
and over that time has established a loyal
customer base – people that rely on him
to give them sound advice and provide
professional care and servicing for their
vehicles.
Customers come from across the city,
Spreydon, Hillmorton, Riccarton, Halswell
and Middleton areas, and the business has
received many positive Google reviews
from customers. Below are some examples:
I have been going to Parker Automotive

I know it’s not always about price but
sometimes, when it comes to vehicle repairs,
you just want a perceived good deal and work
carried out by someone who seems to care.
Kevin came recommended by a friend, and
what a great recommendation. His work was
clean, efficient, fast and came in under what
I thought it was going to cost. So we took my

too was completed faster than we expected
