Bid to solve northern<br />
corridor traffic issues<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
PEOPLE WHO live near the<br />
Christchurch Northern Corridor<br />
have the opportunity to be part of<br />
a solution to the traffic problem.<br />
Options in the area bordered by<br />
Innes Rd, Hills Rd, Warrington St<br />
and Cranford St will be developed<br />
by the city council based on a<br />
public survey, along with traffic<br />
data and transport network<br />
priorities.<br />
City council<br />
acting head of<br />
transport Lynette<br />
Ellis said traffic<br />
issues in the area<br />
were “complex”.<br />
The corridor<br />
opened last<br />
Lynette<br />
Ellis<br />
year, linking<br />
the Northern<br />
Motorway to<br />
Cranford St and QEII Drive at a<br />
cost of $290 million.<br />
Traffic calming trials on Francis<br />
Ave and Thames St were carried<br />
out earlier this year to address an<br />
increase in traffic caused by this<br />
link.<br />

Leaking water top ticket concern,<br />
damaged bins close second<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
DEALING WITH leaky water<br />
supplies and damaged bins,<br />
as well as issues relating to<br />
residential property files, are<br />
the top three concerns for the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood Community Board<br />
area.<br />
A ticket report has revealed<br />
a breakdown of issues that<br />
residents have contacted the city<br />
council about between June 19<br />
and July 18.<br />
In that time, 1639 tickets, or<br />
jobs, were completed within an<br />
average of 3.2 days.<br />
Issues fell in a range of<br />
categories, including transport,<br />
wheelie bins, graffiti, and three<br />
waters council assets.<br />
Leaky water supplies came<br />
out on top with 167 tickets,<br />
while damaged bins was second<br />
with 159 tickets and residential<br />
property files third with 158<br />
tickets.<br />
Phone, email and walk-ins<br />
were the most common way<br />
residents chose to contact the<br />
council, at 55 per cent.<br />
ISSUES: Leaking water supplies and damaged bins most concern residents in the<br />
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board area.<br />
Meanwhile, 31 per cent<br />
used Hybris Online and the<br />
remaining 14 per cent used Snap<br />
Send Solve. At the conclusion of<br />
the report last month, 429 tickets<br />
were still open, or not completed.<br />

Attack raises safety concerns at park<br />
• By Fiona Ellis<br />
A RACIALLY motivated attack<br />
on two Japanese teenagers<br />
opposite Bishopdale Park on<br />
May 31 has led Ilam MP Sarah<br />
Pallett to raise the issue of<br />
increasing safety in the area.<br />
Two youths have since been<br />
referred to Youth Aid in relation<br />
to the incident, police confirmed.<br />
Pallett spoke about the issue<br />
during the<br />
public forum<br />
segment at a<br />
recet Fendal-<br />
ton-Waimairi-<br />
Harewood<br />
Community<br />
Sarah Pallett<br />
Board meeting.<br />
She had spoken<br />
with the victims, a 14-yearold<br />
boy and his 17-year-old sister,<br />
who were out running when they<br />
were attacked at about 5pm.<br />
There had been no CCTV footage<br />
of the attacker, which made it<br />
difficult for police to find them,<br />
she said.<br />
“One of the things I thought<br />
that we could potentially achieve<br />
together . . . is to look at what we<br />
could do with regard to either<br />
putting cameras there or increasing<br />
the lighting because it’s very<br />
poor.”<br />
People, especially women,<br />
would not feel safe exercising<br />
in the park or near it on<br />
dark winter evenings, she<br />
said.<br />
Reporting on the attack at<br />
the time, The Star wrote the<br />
attackers tried to trip up the<br />
14-year-old and then placed him<br />
in a headlock before punching<br />
his left eye.<br />
The sister was also kicked in<br />
the chin as she fell while trying<br />
to protect her brother.<br />
The victims’ mother, Naomi<br />
Suzuki, said she was concerned<br />
lack of security cameras would<br />
mean the attackers would not be<br />
identified.<br />
Board chairwoman Bridget<br />
Williams said the board’s<br />
Community Safety Initiative<br />
would investigate the safety<br />
AREA OF CONCERN: The<br />
attack on two teenagers<br />
opposite Bishopdale<br />
Park earlier this year<br />
has left Ilam MP Sarah<br />
Pallett questioning safety<br />
conditions in the area.<br />
concerns of Bishopdale<br />
residents starting with a<br />
survey to be carried out later in<br />
the year.<br />
“Bishopdale’s been put on the<br />
list.”<br />
It would be interesting to see<br />
what public feedback would<br />
come from that, she said.<br />
Christchurch North Community<br />
Patrol chairman Sam<br />
Hall said the<br />
park was not<br />
an area of<br />
Bridget<br />
Williams<br />
specific concern to the patrol,<br />
although they frequently drove<br />
past it.<br />
He hoped the patrol presence<br />
was a deterrent to potential<br />
wrong-doers.<br />
“You never know what you’ve<br />
prevented.”<br />
<br />
<br />
BECAUSE YOUR<br />
FEET MATTER<br />
Belfast School students are<br />
hoping to visit Parliament but<br />
need a little help to get there. I’m<br />
hosting a breakfast for local<br />
businesses and residents to raise<br />
money for the school so that<br />
students will be able to have their<br />
Wellington trip. Tickets will cover<br />
the cost of breakfast and include a<br />
$20 donation to Belfast School. If<br />
this sounds like something you’d<br />
be keen to support, please get in<br />
touch with my offices, and I will<br />
also be advertising the event<br />
through the school.<br />
My petition calling for the 70mkh<br />
speed limit on Marshland Road to<br />
be reinstated will be presented in<br />
October to the Christchurch City<br />
Council. After council lowered the<br />
speed limit, a regular user of the<br />
route approached me to help<br />
gauge public support for a<br />
petition. I conducted a poll and<br />
within the first 24 hours realised<br />
<br />
this was a significant issue.<br />
Neither the accident stats nor<br />
public feedback supported the<br />
change – this was merely the<br />
cheap solution. We launched an<br />
online petition calling for the<br />
70kmh limit to be reinstated. The<br />
petition will be presented to the<br />
urban transport committee and I<br />
will be asking whether the council<br />
has been let down by a lack of<br />
Government funding. You can still<br />
sign the petition at<br />
https://www.national.org.nz/reins<br />
tate-speed-limit-on-marshlandroad<br />
It was great to connect with our<br />
University of Canterbury students<br />
during their recent RE-O-Week<br />
and to see how engaged they are<br />
with issues on the ground. I’m<br />
looking forward to speaking next<br />
week at UC’s Political Science<br />
Society as part of the panel of<br />
political figures.<br />

Protector of environment earns teen artist award<br />
• From page 1<br />
“They had a larger impact on the<br />
surrounding streets than anticipated.”<br />
An area-wide solution was needed,<br />
Ellis said.<br />
“All options are currently on the<br />
table and range from the installation<br />
of passive traffic calming measures<br />
[such as] chicanes to restricting<br />
movements along specific streets.<br />
“We won’t know what the options<br />
are until we have finished the survey<br />
and undertaken some design work,”<br />
she said.<br />
The downstream effects of the<br />
corridor had prompted 95 residents<br />
from the area to contact the council<br />
since the corridor opened, including<br />
15 residents from Flockton St and<br />
Francis Ave.<br />
The survey was made with this<br />
feedback in mind, Ellis said.<br />
THE WAREWARE is primarily<br />
a carnivorous creature, naturally<br />
aggressive and fiercely protective<br />
of biodiversity.<br />
It spits a boiling<br />
concoction of what<br />
resembles local hot<br />
springs, water scalding<br />
potential polluters and<br />
those who seek to harm<br />
its territory.<br />
St Margaret’s College<br />
year 13 student Molly<br />
Campbell has won the<br />
New Zealand Ultimate<br />
Concept Artist Award for this<br />
intimidating creation.<br />
The Weta Workshop and Massey<br />
University-sponsored “earth<br />
guardians” character design competition<br />
aims at promoting careers<br />
in film, game, and television.<br />
Young concept designers are<br />
Molly<br />
Campbell<br />
Speed and safety are the two main issues<br />
The survey will be open until<br />
August 31.<br />
St Albans Residents Association’s<br />
Emma Twaddell said this was a<br />
chance for people to share their<br />
concerns with the council.<br />
“I’d encourage people to fill it out,”<br />
Twaddell said.<br />
As a community activator, she<br />
heard many stories from the residents<br />
of the area about the impact of the<br />
charged with creating a character<br />
to defend the earth, using nature<br />
and the elements to inspire their<br />
work.<br />
“I’m really happy that<br />
I had a chance to design<br />
something and work out<br />
of my comfort zone,” Campbell<br />
said.<br />
“Art has always permeated<br />
all aspects of my life. I<br />
just love to create.”<br />
She planned to continue<br />
her creative path by studying<br />
fine arts, either at Canterbury<br />
University or Massey.<br />
Rebekah Tisch, art director at<br />
Weta Workshop, said selecting a<br />
winner was a challenge.<br />
“While our primary interest<br />
was in the images of the creature<br />
designs: the story, depth of thinking<br />
and creativity shown in the<br />
northern corridor.<br />
“I haven’t heard many positives.<br />
“Speed is the big one, and safety.<br />
Those are the two main issues.”<br />
• HAVE YOUR SAY: email<br />
fiona.ellis@starmedia.kiwi to<br />
share your thoughts on how<br />
the Christchurch Northern<br />
Corridor has impacted traffic<br />
for residents.<br />
written descriptions was what<br />
helped us come to the ultimate<br />
decision.<br />
“Molly’s design and description<br />
of the wareware guardian was<br />
nuanced, considered, and showed<br />
bold design decision making.”<br />
The wareware was a great mix<br />
of terrifying and attractive, with<br />
plenty of interesting details, she<br />
said.<br />
“I thoroughly enjoyed the idea,<br />
that within the design, we can<br />
find elements of extinct fauna. I<br />
also love that this creature is both<br />
protecting nature as well as protecting<br />
the memory of the past.”<br />
Massey University introduced<br />
the Earth Guardians Character<br />
Design competition last year,<br />
and the top prize also went to<br />
a Cantabrian, Burnside High<br />
School’s Madeline Head.<br />

New kit for men’s<br />
netball team<br />
KAIAWA SPORTS netball<br />
teams can step onto the<br />
court with confidence this<br />
season after receiving a<br />
grant to buy all the gear<br />
they need, including<br />
training and match balls,<br />
bibs, spot markers, gear<br />
bags.<br />
Kaiawa Sports started<br />
less than a year ago as a<br />
netball team for adult men.<br />
Club administrator<br />
Nikki Schwass applied for<br />
the ANZ netball grant because<br />
as a brand new club<br />
they had “nothing.”<br />
Schwass was thrilled to<br />
receive the grant.<br />
“It means we can get<br />
good quality gear out to all<br />
of our teams . . . it means<br />
we can spread the love<br />
across the club,” she said.<br />
Welcoming 2<strong>02</strong>1 meant<br />
bringing in their first<br />
women’s team alongside<br />
their men’s and mixed<br />
team.<br />
Led by Naze Silbery the<br />
players have achieved new<br />
heights in men’s netball,<br />
with their eyes on climbing<br />
TEAM: Kaiawa Sports netball players (from left)<br />
Lachlan Crosbie, Amosa Faitaua-Nanai, Kruze<br />
Tangira, Naze Silbery, and Michael Mundy are<br />
pleased with the club’s gear grant. <br />
the ranks.<br />
Their men’s A team<br />
played the curtain-raiser<br />
match at the Tactix ANZ<br />
Premiership home game<br />
on July 25 where they narrowly<br />
missed the win.<br />
Said Schwass: “The level<br />
we want to attain for our<br />
men is really high. We’re<br />
creating an environment<br />
where we can develop<br />
national representatives for<br />
men’s netball.”<br />
Low Supply<br />

The club drew a lot of the<br />
Māori and Pacific Island<br />
talent from the region with<br />
the club boasting players<br />
across the A, B and C<br />
Christchurch representative<br />
teams.<br />
“It’s given an<br />
opportunity to a lot of men<br />
who have never thought<br />
of playing netball in their<br />
lives. Naze brings a lot of<br />
guys from touch over to<br />
netball too,” said Schwass.<br />
“EDDY”, a much adored 10 month<br />
old Tabby was rushed to McMaster<br />
& Heap vets on a Sunday, after<br />
alerting his owners that something<br />
was up when he hopped on their<br />
bed early one morning and started<br />
moaning loudly. One of the owners<br />
had worked as a nurse for us, so she<br />
didn’t waste time in getting Eddy<br />
seen. Steve Heap was called in when<br />
it was clear there was a severe injury<br />
to Eddy’s right eye.<br />
When Steve saw Eddy, he identified<br />
a ruptured right eye with a large<br />
piece of lens protruding through<br />
the cornea. This would have been<br />
excruciatingly painful. A penetrating<br />
eye injury was suspected but the<br />
cause was not initially apparent. He<br />
was immediately anaesthetised,<br />
placed on intravenous fluids and<br />
given pain medications. Steve<br />
became suspicious of a slug pellet<br />
injury due to the unusual corneal<br />
injury and the fact the lens had<br />
totally exploded! Steve hadn’t seen<br />
anything like this in 30 years of<br />
Ophthalmology practice.<br />
McMaster & Heap<br />
Veterinary practice<br />
Sad case of animal abuse<br />
The lens material was removed by<br />
a machine that performs cataract<br />
surgery - A Phacoemulsification<br />
Machine. The eye was irrigated and<br />
the corneal wound sutured carefully.<br />
Then the eye was reinflated. X-rays<br />
performed identified the slug pellet<br />
and Steve realised he’d been shot<br />
through the eye. The bullet was<br />
lodged in a downward angle, and it<br />
blew out the animal’s lens, meaning<br />
Eddy would have been looking<br />
directly at the offender at close<br />
range.<br />
Suffice to say Eddy is recuperating<br />
excellently being cared for round the<br />
clock by his dedicated owners. Steve<br />
thinks the surgical eye is comfortable<br />
and Eddy is back to his crazed, manic<br />
antics. He won’t see in the eye but<br />
we are hoping he gets to keep his<br />
eye. Once his eye is stable and he’s<br />
recovered , a second surgery would<br />
be advised to remove the slug pellet<br />
that sits very close to his cervical<br />
spine.<br />

Bowling club merger sees rare<br />
parcel of land come up for sale<br />
THE FORMER site of the<br />
St Albans Bowling Club in<br />
Merivale is up for sale.<br />
The 5107 sq m land at<br />
5 Donald Pl, just off St Albans<br />
St, is for sale by deadline private<br />
treaty, closing tomorrow.<br />
Investment sales specialist<br />
Courtney Doig, of Colliers, said<br />
there are few such parcels of land<br />
in Merivale.<br />
“There is a real lack of<br />
large-scale development sites<br />
remaining in this tightly<br />
held Merivale position. The<br />
Residential Medium Density<br />
zoning makes it ripe for a variety<br />
of uses and we’ve seen how much<br />
demand there is for well-located<br />
bare land in Christchurch.<br />
“This is a dress circle<br />
location and presents a unique<br />
opportunity to acquire a<br />
significant land holding<br />
representing a blank canvas<br />
for the seasoned developer or<br />
occupier,” he said.<br />
The merger of the Elmwood<br />
Park and St Albans bowling<br />
clubs has prompted the sale.<br />
The two clubs joined forces<br />
in 2018 and have been using<br />
both facilities since then, but<br />
now they will be solely based on<br />
Tania Bostock<br />
Ben Reid<br />
Elmwood’s nearby Heaton St<br />
site.<br />
“There are a multitude of<br />
development options available<br />
including a large scale residential<br />
multi dwelling, pre-school,<br />
healthcare facility or boutique<br />
retirement village,” Doig said.<br />
The site, with a 60m frontage<br />
onto Donald Pl, is located within<br />
200m of Merivale Mall and<br />
3.5km from the city.<br />
St Albans Bowling Club was<br />
established at Donald Place in<br />
19<strong>02</strong>. Its pavilion was rebuilt<br />
during the 1968 Wahine storm.<br />
Dwindling numbers prompted<br />
the merger with Elmwood Park,<br />
with the combined membership<br />
now standing at 140.<br />
President Peter Smith said that<br />
while the sale marks the end<br />
of an era, members are excited<br />
about having all facilities located<br />
on site and the amenity a new<br />
pavilion will bring.<br />

Hamish Southcott and Tania Bostock first exhibited<br />
together at Little River Gallery in 2014 and since have<br />
had a number of duo shows. Ben Reid joins them in<br />
‘Miscellany’ after a five year exhibiting hiatus at Little<br />
River Gallery.<br />
Hamish Southcott seeks to create well-crafted,<br />
beautiful pieces of art that highlight the inherent<br />
beauty of reclaimed materials. Recently his works<br />
explore the human influence on New Zealand’s rich<br />
and diverse natural landscape.<br />
Tania Bostock is drawn to texture and contrast. Her<br />
process consists of straightening and perfecting, then<br />
pushing the paint in a freer, less controlled manner<br />
working in multiple layers on bold geometric shapes.<br />
Ben Reid is a Canterbury based printmaker<br />
whose interest lies in the fragile relationship that<br />
New Zealanders have with the natural world.<br />
The complexities are beautifully explored in the<br />
technically challenging medium of print.<br />

Ngaio Marsh resident Lobina (middle) with<br />
her daughters Yvonne (left) and Jackie.<br />
LOBINA IS PART OF A WONDERFUL<br />
COMMUNITY AT NGAIO MARSH<br />
Yvonne and Jackie lovingly say their<br />
Mum Lobina, aged 93, is a sweetie – and<br />
that she fits right in with everyone at<br />
Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village.<br />
Yvonne says her Mum really enjoys the<br />
location of the resthome, within the village<br />
centre, where there is a real mixture of<br />
friendly people around her.<br />
Lobina and her family (her sons, John, Jeffrey<br />
and Thomas, also live in Christchurch)<br />
enjoy the many spaces the village has to<br />
offer including the gardens, the village centre<br />
atrium and the dining room.<br />
“The people are lovely here…everyone<br />
mixes together. It’s really very nice,”<br />
Yvonne says. “Plus, the food is excellent.<br />
The food is really, really good.”<br />
Lobina completely agrees.<br />
From her ground level room Lobina enjoys<br />
views of the village’s beautiful gardens,<br />
including a tree that holds a bird feeder,<br />
which her family has kept stocked with<br />
fresh bird seed.<br />
Lobina came to New Zealand in the mid-<br />
1950s. As part of an immigration assistance<br />
scheme Lobina was able to get an assisted<br />
passage on the Dutch ship SS Waterman.<br />
She met and married Hubert and then<br />
brought up their family of five. At least one of<br />
her children visit her at the village most days<br />
– often around the time of a midday meal or<br />
in the early evening. Jackie loves sitting on<br />
the bed with Lobina for some music, a chat,<br />
and a giggle.<br />
Their traditions of getting together for a<br />
meal date back to Lobina and Hubert having<br />
been a close part of the New Zealand Dutch<br />
community. Upon her arrival, as part of<br />
the assisted passage scheme, Lobina was<br />
employed as a seamstress with a Canterbury<br />
clothing company. Hubert, who passed away<br />
in 1985, worked selling fish in Christchurch<br />
suburbs from P Feron and Sons Seafoods.<br />
Later he bought and maintained rental<br />
properties around Christchurch.<br />
Lobina, Yvonne and Jackie talk fondly<br />
about the long-time family home in<br />
Eversleigh Street, St Albans. Lobina later<br />
lived for a considerable time in Beckenham<br />
with her second husband Ton, who passed<br />
away in 2008, before moving in with her<br />
daughter Jackie and her partner Michael.<br />
When Jackie and Michael took a trip to<br />
Bali, Lobina went to Ngaio Marsh village for<br />
respite care.<br />
She found the care was wonderful, so at the<br />
right moment when a room became available<br />
Lobina moved to the village in July 2019, and<br />
she has never looked back.<br />
Yvonne and Jackie say they love sitting<br />
with their Mum and talking about old<br />
times. Lobina wrote a considerable family<br />
history, in her native Dutch language.<br />
Her five children were brought up bilingual<br />
and love that they can read her memories<br />
back to her.<br />
When they pop into Ngaio Marsh, Jackie<br />
and Yvonne often touch base with staff and<br />
residents they have got to know during their<br />
frequent visits. Jackie says, for example,<br />
one of the young caregivers enquired<br />
about the dance class she attends and<br />
ended up coming along to enjoy one of the<br />
social classes.<br />
Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village has a truly<br />
wonderful community.<br />
CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT<br />
Ngaio Marsh village has got you covered with a range of<br />
living and care options. We’re dedicated to caring for you<br />
now and into your future; from the extra support of a<br />
serviced apartment to resthome and hospital care.<br />

CONSTRUCTION is scheduled to<br />
start soon on a new $4.3 million<br />
state-of-the-art co-location facility<br />
for prosthetics, orthotics and<br />
rehabilitation in Christchurch.<br />
Sited opposite Burwood<br />
Hospital, the facility will replace<br />
Peke Waihanga – Artificial Limb<br />
Service’s existing centre.<br />
It will include a location<br />
space for Burwood Hospital<br />
to carry out rehabilitation and<br />
orthotics.<br />
The build is expected to be<br />
completed next year.<br />
Peke Waihanga chief executive<br />
Sean Gray said the design<br />
team had worked alongside experts<br />
to design an accessible, healthy and<br />
safe environment for staff, patients<br />
and their families.<br />
Said Mark Bruce of the<br />
Amputees Federation: “Having<br />
attended the centre for the<br />
last 36 years, I am thrilled<br />
that a new building is finally under<br />
way after it and the<br />
staff have gone through many trials<br />
and tribulations. I am positive that<br />
the exciting<br />
design and form of the new facility<br />
will provide a superb environment<br />
for amputees and staff alike.”<br />

RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<br />
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
NOR’WEST NEWS<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get the balance<br />
right this winter<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when it<br />
comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or<br />
air conditioning system for their home or<br />
office since 20<strong>02</strong>.<br />
Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />
electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />
engineers, help to supply and install<br />
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />
and because they have no affiliation with any<br />
one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />
on the benefits and differences between each<br />
product is unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />
and cost-effective system for your<br />
individual situation, and will have you<br />
regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />
no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />
whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />
even temperatures throughout the home both<br />
in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved<br />
by using ducted systems or multi systems<br />
and Enviro Master are experts in designing,<br />
installing and commissioning these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />
Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />
owner/occupiers with a Community Services<br />
Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in<br />
a low-income area as determined by deciles<br />
8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />
The applicant’s home must also have been<br />
built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />
(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
With new regulations now in place for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s<br />
time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />
standards.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />
lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have. This<br />
consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />
and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />
installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />
get in touch for details and help with the<br />
application process. To find out more, call<br />
Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />
their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />
The facts about home ventilation<br />
Balanced Pressure<br />
vs Positive Pressure<br />
Under the New Zealand Building Code,<br />
all buildings, including residential, need<br />
to be suitably ventilated, either with<br />
opening windows or forced ventilation.<br />
Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this<br />
provision is to safeguard people from<br />
illness or loss of amenity due to lack of<br />
fresh air.” There are many benefits to<br />
forced, or mechanical, ventilation over<br />
opening windows, including warmth,<br />
security, reduction of outside noises and<br />
reduction of condensation.<br />
Traditional domestic ventilation systems<br />
are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in<br />
from outside via the roof space and force<br />
the stale air out through gaps around<br />
windows and doors. The incoming air<br />
from these systems<br />
has to be heated<br />
or cooled to keep<br />
the house warm in<br />
winter or cool in<br />
summer.<br />
The Smooth-<br />
Air HEX390 is a<br />
‘balanced pressure’<br />
system. It extracts<br />
air from the house<br />
and at the same<br />
time brings in<br />
fresh air. These<br />
two streams of air<br />
pass through a heat<br />
exchanger, which<br />
warms incoming air in winter and cools in<br />
summer if air conditioning is being used.<br />
This means that up to 80% of the energy<br />
which would be wasted using a traditional<br />
positive pressure system is recovered,<br />
resulting in significant energy savings and<br />
therefore lower heating or cooling costs.<br />
Until recently, balanced pressure<br />
ventilation systems have been considerably<br />
more expensive than traditional positive<br />
pressure systems. However, with Smooth-<br />
Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a<br />
HEX390 balanced pressure system can be<br />
installed for a similar price as a traditional<br />
positive pressure system.<br />

Andrew Idour – Managing Director,<br />
Affordable Furniture<br />
After 4 years advertising in the Bay<br />
Harbour <strong>News</strong>, I decided to widen<br />
my audience by using the Star.<br />
I am very happy with new ad<br />
placement.<br />
My husband Tim was in the shop<br />
today and 2 ladies had come in<br />
to check us out because they had<br />
seen the ad!!! Oh yes they did buy<br />
some goodies!!<br />
Rose Lindley – Mumma Bear<br />
We have advertised with The Star<br />
over the years.<br />
Advertising in The Star we feel we<br />
get more response and feedback<br />
than any other marketing.<br />
We are lucky to have such a great<br />
free paper in the community.<br />
