Bid to solve northern 

corridor traffic issues 

• By Fiona Ellis 

PEOPLE WHO live near the 

Christchurch Northern Corridor 

have the opportunity to be part of 

a solution to the traffic problem. 

Options in the area bordered by 

Innes Rd, Hills Rd, Warrington St 

and Cranford St will be developed 

by the city council based on a 

public survey, along with traffic 

data and transport network 

priorities. 

City council 

acting head of 

transport Lynette 

Ellis said traffic 

issues in the area 

were “complex”. 

The corridor 

opened last 

Lynette 

Ellis 

year, linking 

the Northern 

Motorway to 

Cranford St and QEII Drive at a 

cost of $290 million. 

Traffic calming trials on Francis 

Ave and Thames St were carried 

out earlier this year to address an 

increase in traffic caused by this 

link.

Leaking water top ticket concern, 

damaged bins close second 


DEALING WITH leaky water 

supplies and damaged bins, 

as well as issues relating to 

residential property files, are 

the top three concerns for the 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community Board 

area. 

A ticket report has revealed 

a breakdown of issues that 

residents have contacted the city 

council about between June 19 

and July 18. 

In that time, 1639 tickets, or 

jobs, were completed within an 

average of 3.2 days. 

Issues fell in a range of 

categories, including transport, 

wheelie bins, graffiti, and three 

waters council assets. 

Leaky water supplies came 

out on top with 167 tickets, 

while damaged bins was second 

with 159 tickets and residential 

property files third with 158 

tickets. 

Phone, email and walk-ins 

were the most common way 

residents chose to contact the 

council, at 55 per cent. 

ISSUES: Leaking water supplies and damaged bins most concern residents in the 

Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board area. 

Meanwhile, 31 per cent 

used Hybris Online and the 

remaining 14 per cent used Snap 

Send Solve. At the conclusion of 

the report last month, 429 tickets 

were still open, or not completed. 

Number of tickets 

(issues) reported in the 

Fendalton-Waimairi- 

Harewood Community 

Board area between June 

19 and July 18: 

1 Leak (water supply) – 

167 

2 Damaged bins – 159

Attack raises safety concerns at park 


A RACIALLY motivated attack 

on two Japanese teenagers 

opposite Bishopdale Park on 

May 31 has led Ilam MP Sarah 

Pallett to raise the issue of 

increasing safety in the area. 

Two youths have since been 

referred to Youth Aid in relation 

to the incident, police confirmed. 

Pallett spoke about the issue 

during the 

public forum 

segment at a 

recet Fendal- 

ton-Waimairi- 

Harewood 

Community 

Sarah Pallett 

Board meeting. 

She had spoken 

with the victims, a 14-yearold 

boy and his 17-year-old sister, 

who were out running when they 

were attacked at about 5pm. 

There had been no CCTV footage 

of the attacker, which made it 

difficult for police to find them, 

she said. 

“One of the things I thought 

that we could potentially achieve 

together . . . is to look at what we 

could do with regard to either 

putting cameras there or increasing 

the lighting because it’s very 

poor.” 

People, especially women, 

would not feel safe exercising 

in the park or near it on 

dark winter evenings, she 

said. 

Reporting on the attack at 

the time, The Star wrote the 

attackers tried to trip up the 

14-year-old and then placed him 

in a headlock before punching 

his left eye. 

The sister was also kicked in 

the chin as she fell while trying 

to protect her brother. 

The victims’ mother, Naomi 

Suzuki, said she was concerned 

lack of security cameras would 

mean the attackers would not be 

identified. 

Board chairwoman Bridget 

Williams said the board’s 

Community Safety Initiative 

would investigate the safety

concerns of Bishopdale 

residents starting with a 

survey to be carried out later in 

the year. 

“Bishopdale’s been put on the 

list.” 

It would be interesting to see 

what public feedback would 

come from that, she said. 

Christchurch North Community 

Patrol chairman Sam 

Hall said the 

park was not

specific concern to the patrol, 

although they frequently drove 

past it. 

He hoped the patrol presence 

was a deterrent to potential 

wrong-doers. 

“You never know what you’ve 

prevented.”

FEET MATTER 

Belfast School students are 

hoping to visit Parliament but 

need a little help to get there. I’m 

hosting a breakfast for local 

businesses and residents to raise 

money for the school so that 

students will be able to have their 

Wellington trip. Tickets will cover 

the cost of breakfast and include a 

$20 donation to Belfast School. If 

this sounds like something you’d 

be keen to support, please get in 

touch with my offices, and I will 

also be advertising the event 

through the school. 

My petition calling for the 70mkh 

speed limit on Marshland Road to 

be reinstated will be presented in 

October to the Christchurch City 

Council. After council lowered the 

speed limit, a regular user of the 

route approached me to help 

gauge public support for a 

petition. I conducted a poll and 

within the first 24 hours realised 

 

this was a significant issue. 

Neither the accident stats nor 

public feedback supported the 

change – this was merely the 

cheap solution. We launched an 

online petition calling for the 

70kmh limit to be reinstated. The 

petition will be presented to the 

urban transport committee and I 

will be asking whether the council 

has been let down by a lack of 

Government funding. You can still 

sign the petition at

It was great to connect with our 

University of Canterbury students 

during their recent RE-O-Week 

and to see how engaged they are 

with issues on the ground. I’m 

looking forward to speaking next 

week at UC’s Political Science 

Society as part of the panel of 

political figures.

“They had a larger impact on the 

surrounding streets than anticipated.” 

An area-wide solution was needed, 

Ellis said. 

“All options are currently on the 

table and range from the installation 

of passive traffic calming measures 

[such as] chicanes to restricting 

movements along specific streets. 

“We won’t know what the options 

are until we have finished the survey 

and undertaken some design work,” 

she said. 

The downstream effects of the 

corridor had prompted 95 residents 

from the area to contact the council 

since the corridor opened, including 

15 residents from Flockton St and 

Francis Ave. 

The survey was made with this 

feedback in mind, Ellis said. 

THE WAREWARE is primarily 

a carnivorous creature, naturally 

aggressive and fiercely protective 

of biodiversity. 

It spits a boiling 

concoction of what 

resembles local hot 

springs, water scalding

those who seek to harm 

its territory.

The survey will be open until 

August 31. 

St Albans Residents Association’s 

Emma Twaddell said this was a 

chance for people to share their 

concerns with the council. 

“I’d encourage people to fill it out,” 

Twaddell said. 

As a community activator, she 

heard many stories from the residents 

of the area about the impact of the

to defend the earth, using nature 

and the elements to inspire their 

work. 

“I’m really happy that 

I had a chance to design 

something and work out 

of my comfort zone,” Campbell 

said. 

“Art has always permeated 

all aspects of my life. I 

just love to create.” 

She planned to continue 

her creative path by studying 

fine arts, either at Canterbury 

University or Massey. 

Rebekah Tisch, art director at 

Weta Workshop, said selecting a 

winner was a challenge. 

“While our primary interest 

was in the images of the creature 

designs: the story, depth of thinking 

and creativity shown in the 

northern corridor. 

“I haven’t heard many positives. 

“Speed is the big one, and safety. 

Those are the two main issues.”

written descriptions was what 

helped us come to the ultimate 

decision. 

“Molly’s design and description 

of the wareware guardian was 

nuanced, considered, and showed 

bold design decision making.” 

The wareware was a great mix 

of terrifying and attractive, with 

plenty of interesting details, she 

said. 

“I thoroughly enjoyed the idea, 

that within the design, we can 

find elements of extinct fauna. I 

also love that this creature is both

New kit for men’s 

netball team 

KAIAWA SPORTS netball 

teams can step onto the 

court with confidence this 

season after receiving a 

grant to buy all the gear 

they need, including 

training and match balls, 

bibs, spot markers, gear 

bags. 

Kaiawa Sports started 

less than a year ago as a 

netball team for adult men. 

Club administrator 

Nikki Schwass applied for 

the ANZ netball grant because 

as a brand new club 

they had “nothing.” 

Schwass was thrilled to 

receive the grant. 

“It means we can get 

good quality gear out to all 

of our teams . . . it means 

we can spread the love 

across the club,” she said. 

Welcoming 2021 meant 

bringing in their first 

women’s team alongside 

their men’s and mixed 

team. 

Led by Naze Silbery the 

players have achieved new 

heights in men’s netball, 

with their eyes on climbing

the ranks. 

Their men’s A team 

played the curtain-raiser 

match at the Tactix ANZ 

Premiership home game 

on July 25 where they narrowly 

missed the win. 

Said Schwass: “The level 

we want to attain for our 

men is really high. We’re 

creating an environment 

where we can develop 

national representatives for 

men’s netball.” 

Low Supply 

& High Demand!

The club drew a lot of the 

Māori and Pacific Island 

talent from the region with 

the club boasting players 

across the A, B and C 

Christchurch representative 

teams. 

“It’s given an 

opportunity to a lot of men 

who have never thought 

of playing netball in their 

lives. Naze brings a lot of 

guys from touch over to 

netball too,” said Schwass. 

“EDDY”, a much adored 10 month 

old Tabby was rushed to McMaster 

& Heap vets on a Sunday, after 

alerting his owners that something 

was up when he hopped on their 

bed early one morning and started 

moaning loudly. One of the owners 

had worked as a nurse for us, so she 

didn’t waste time in getting Eddy 

seen. Steve Heap was called in when 

it was clear there was a severe injury 

to Eddy’s right eye. 

When Steve saw Eddy, he identified 

a ruptured right eye with a large 

piece of lens protruding through 

the cornea. This would have been 

excruciatingly painful. A penetrating 

eye injury was suspected but the 

cause was not initially apparent. He 

was immediately anaesthetised, 

placed on intravenous fluids and 

given pain medications. Steve 

became suspicious of a slug pellet 

injury due to the unusual corneal 

injury and the fact the lens had 

totally exploded! Steve hadn’t seen 

anything like this in 30 years of 

Ophthalmology practice. 

McMaster & Heap 

Veterinary practice 

Sad case of animal abuse 

The lens material was removed by 

a machine that performs cataract 

surgery - A Phacoemulsification 

Machine. The eye was irrigated and 

the corneal wound sutured carefully. 

Then the eye was reinflated. X-rays 

performed identified the slug pellet 

and Steve realised he’d been shot 

through the eye. The bullet was 

lodged in a downward angle, and it 

blew out the animal’s lens, meaning 

Eddy would have been looking 

directly at the offender at close 

range. 

Suffice to say Eddy is recuperating 

excellently being cared for round the 

clock by his dedicated owners. Steve 

thinks the surgical eye is comfortable 

and Eddy is back to his crazed, manic 

antics. He won’t see in the eye but 

we are hoping he gets to keep his 

eye. Once his eye is stable and he’s 

recovered , a second surgery would 

be advised to remove the slug pellet 

that sits very close to his cervical 

spine.

Bowling club merger sees rare 

parcel of land come up for sale 

THE FORMER site of the 

St Albans Bowling Club in 

Merivale is up for sale. 

The 5107 sq m land at 

5 Donald Pl, just off St Albans 

St, is for sale by deadline private 

treaty, closing tomorrow. 

Investment sales specialist 

Courtney Doig, of Colliers, said 

there are few such parcels of land 

in Merivale. 

“There is a real lack of 

large-scale development sites 

remaining in this tightly 

held Merivale position. The 

Residential Medium Density 

zoning makes it ripe for a variety 

of uses and we’ve seen how much 

demand there is for well-located 

bare land in Christchurch. 

“This is a dress circle 

location and presents a unique 

opportunity to acquire a 

significant land holding 

representing a blank canvas 

for the seasoned developer or 

occupier,” he said. 

The merger of the Elmwood 

Park and St Albans bowling 

clubs has prompted the sale. 

The two clubs joined forces 

in 2018 and have been using 

both facilities since then, but 

now they will be solely based on 

Tania Bostock 

Ben Reid 

Elmwood’s nearby Heaton St 

site. 

“There are a multitude of 

development options available 

including a large scale residential 

multi dwelling, pre-school, 

healthcare facility or boutique 

retirement village,” Doig said. 

The site, with a 60m frontage 

onto Donald Pl, is located within 

200m of Merivale Mall and 

3.5km from the city. 

St Albans Bowling Club was 

established at Donald Place in 

1902. Its pavilion was rebuilt 

during the 1968 Wahine storm. 

Dwindling numbers prompted 

the merger with Elmwood Park, 

with the combined membership 

now standing at 140. 

President Peter Smith said that 

while the sale marks the end 

of an era, members are excited 

about having all facilities located 

on site and the amenity a new 

pavilion will bring.

‘Miscellany’ after a five year exhibiting hiatus at Little

Hamish Southcott seeks to create well-crafted, 

beautiful pieces of art that highlight the inherent 

beauty of reclaimed materials. Recently his works 

explore the human influence on New Zealand’s rich 

and diverse natural landscape. 

Tania Bostock is drawn to texture and contrast. Her 

process consists of straightening and perfecting, then 

pushing the paint in a freer, less controlled manner 

working in multiple layers on bold geometric shapes. 

Ben Reid is a Canterbury based printmaker 

whose interest lies in the fragile relationship that 

New Zealanders have with the natural world. 

The complexities are beautifully explored in the 

technically challenging medium of print.

Ngaio Marsh resident Lobina (middle) with 

her daughters Yvonne (left) and Jackie. 

LOBINA IS PART OF A WONDERFUL 

COMMUNITY AT NGAIO MARSH 

Yvonne and Jackie lovingly say their 

Mum Lobina, aged 93, is a sweetie – and 

that she fits right in with everyone at 

Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village. 

Yvonne says her Mum really enjoys the 

location of the resthome, within the village 

centre, where there is a real mixture of 

friendly people around her. 

Lobina and her family (her sons, John, Jeffrey 

and Thomas, also live in Christchurch) 

enjoy the many spaces the village has to 

offer including the gardens, the village centre 

atrium and the dining room. 

“The people are lovely here…everyone 

mixes together. It’s really very nice,” 

Yvonne says. “Plus, the food is excellent. 

The food is really, really good.” 

Lobina completely agrees. 

From her ground level room Lobina enjoys 

views of the village’s beautiful gardens, 

including a tree that holds a bird feeder, 

which her family has kept stocked with 

fresh bird seed. 

Lobina came to New Zealand in the mid- 

1950s. As part of an immigration assistance 

scheme Lobina was able to get an assisted 

passage on the Dutch ship SS Waterman. 

She met and married Hubert and then 

brought up their family of five. At least one of 

her children visit her at the village most days 

– often around the time of a midday meal or 

in the early evening. Jackie loves sitting on 

the bed with Lobina for some music, a chat, 

and a giggle. 

Their traditions of getting together for a 

meal date back to Lobina and Hubert having 

been a close part of the New Zealand Dutch 

community. Upon her arrival, as part of 

the assisted passage scheme, Lobina was 

employed as a seamstress with a Canterbury 

clothing company. Hubert, who passed away 

in 1985, worked selling fish in Christchurch 

suburbs from P Feron and Sons Seafoods. 

Later he bought and maintained rental 

properties around Christchurch. 

Lobina, Yvonne and Jackie talk fondly 

about the long-time family home in 

Eversleigh Street, St Albans. Lobina later 

lived for a considerable time in Beckenham 

with her second husband Ton, who passed 

away in 2008, before moving in with her 

daughter Jackie and her partner Michael. 

When Jackie and Michael took a trip to 

Bali, Lobina went to Ngaio Marsh village for 

respite care. 

She found the care was wonderful, so at the 

right moment when a room became available 

Lobina moved to the village in July 2019, and 

she has never looked back. 

Yvonne and Jackie say they love sitting 

with their Mum and talking about old 

times. Lobina wrote a considerable family 

history, in her native Dutch language. 

Her five children were brought up bilingual 

and love that they can read her memories 

back to her. 

When they pop into Ngaio Marsh, Jackie 

and Yvonne often touch base with staff and 

residents they have got to know during their 

frequent visits. Jackie says, for example, 

one of the young caregivers enquired 

about the dance class she attends and 

ended up coming along to enjoy one of the 

social classes. 

Ngaio Marsh Retirement Village has a truly 

wonderful community. 

CARE WHEN YOU NEED IT 

Ngaio Marsh village has got you covered with a range of 

living and care options. We’re dedicated to caring for you 

now and into your future; from the extra support of a 

serviced apartment to resthome and hospital care.

CONSTRUCTION is scheduled to 

start soon on a new $4.3 million 

state-of-the-art co-location facility 

for prosthetics, orthotics and 

rehabilitation in Christchurch. 

Sited opposite Burwood 

Hospital, the facility will replace 

Peke Waihanga – Artificial Limb 

Service’s existing centre. 

It will include a location 

space for Burwood Hospital 

to carry out rehabilitation and 

orthotics. 

The build is expected to be 

completed next year. 

Peke Waihanga chief executive 

Sean Gray said the design 

team had worked alongside experts 

to design an accessible, healthy and 

safe environment for staff, patients 

and their families. 

Said Mark Bruce of the 

Amputees Federation: “Having 

attended the centre for the 

last 36 years, I am thrilled 

that a new building is finally under 

way after it and the 

staff have gone through many trials 

and tribulations. I am positive that 

the exciting 

design and form of the new facility 

will provide a superb environment 

for amputees and staff alike.”

HOME & HEATING 

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

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 80 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 now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s 

time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

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 

The facts about home ventilation 

Balanced Pressure 

vs Positive Pressure 

Under the New Zealand Building Code, 

all buildings, including residential, need 

to be suitably ventilated, either with 

opening windows or forced ventilation. 

Clause G4.1 states: “The objective of this 

provision is to safeguard people from 

illness or loss of amenity due to lack of 

fresh air.” There are many benefits to 

forced, or mechanical, ventilation over 

opening windows, including warmth, 

security, reduction of outside noises and 

reduction of condensation. 

Traditional domestic ventilation systems 

are ‘positive pressure’. They bring air in 

from outside via the roof space and force 

the stale air out through gaps around 

windows and doors. The incoming air 

from these systems 

has to be heated 

or cooled to keep 

the house warm in 

winter or cool in 

summer. 

The Smooth- 

Air HEX390 is a 

‘balanced pressure’ 

system. It extracts 

air from the house 

and at the same 

time brings in 

fresh air. These 

two streams of air 

pass through a heat 

exchanger, which 

warms incoming air in winter and cools in 

summer if air conditioning is being used. 

This means that up to 80% of the energy 

which would be wasted using a traditional 

positive pressure system is recovered, 

resulting in significant energy savings and 

therefore lower heating or cooling costs. 

Until recently, balanced pressure 

ventilation systems have been considerably 

more expensive than traditional positive 

pressure systems. However, with Smooth- 

Air’s unique manufacturing capabilities, a 

HEX390 balanced pressure system can be 

installed for a similar price as a traditional 

positive pressure system.
