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 />

Number of tickets<br />

(issues) reported in the<br />

Fendalton-Waimairi-<br />

Harewood Community<br />

Board area between June<br />

19 and July 18:<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 />

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 />

state-of-the-art co-location facility<br />

for prosthetics, orthotics and<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 />

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 />

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 />
