Community kitchen gets 

$4000 after stalemate broken 

• By Fiona Ellis 

COMMUNITY board members 

have grappled over whether 

ratepayers should be funding a 

community kitchen. 

The Northgate Community 

Services Trust applied for $15,000 

from the Papanui-Innes Community 

Board’s discretionary 

response fund, but some board 

members believed the Government 

should be paying for the 

upgrade to the kitchen, which is 

based in Papanui. 

But the issue 

was decided by 

board chairwoman 

Emma Norrish, 

whose two votes 

– one as a board 

Emma 

Norrish 

member and one 

as chair – broke a 

stalemate to give 

$4000 funding the green light. 

The board lowered the grant 

from the staff recommended sum 

of $6000 because members were 

concerned about the amount of 

money left in the fund. 

The trust currently runs a 

community kitchen, which feeds 

up to 80 people at its free weekly 

community dinners in which 

volunteers also socialise with 

those attending.

ARTIST IMPRESSION: The community has been pushing 

for a new Edgeware pool since the former pool was 

demolished in 2007 by the city council. 

SUPPORT: 

The plants 

for sale at 

the St Albans 

Community 

Centre 

were all 

donated by 

those keen 

to support 

the future 

build of the 

Edgeware 

pool. 

Plant sale a small boost for pool funds 


IT MAY ONLY be drop in the 

water, but St Albans Residents 

Association treasurer Lynne 

O’Keefe says the $2000 raised 

towards a new Edgeware pool is 

a positive contribution. 

The funds were raised at a 

plant sale on Saturday at the St 

Albans Community Centre, the 

latest effort towards meeting the 

project’s $3 million price tag. 

“The plant sale went really, really 

good. It was well attended,” 

O’Keefe said. 

The amount raised could still 

rise as plants that did not sell on 

the day were still available at the 

centre. 

The highlight of the event was 

the community effort to help 

the sale by donating all kinds 

of plants, including succulents, 

fruit and vegetable plants, and 

shrubs.was the highlight of the 

event, she said. 

She was feeling positive about 

the project because of this 

support, in spite of the slow 

progress. 

The former pool was demolished 

in 2007 by the city council, 

and the community have been 

pushing to get a new one rebuilt 

ever since, but securing funding 

has been a barrier. 

The city council will contribute 

$1.25 million if the group is able 

to raise the rest of the required 

cost. 

About $200,000 has been 

raised by the fundraising group 

St Albans Civilian and Pool so 

far, O’Keefe said. 

“We will just keep on working,” 

Speaking to Nor’West News 

last November, O’Keefe predicted 

that 2021 would be a major 

year for fundraising. 

However, so far this had not 

proved to be the case. 

“It’s just really time-consuming. 

Covid has really upset it as 

well,” she said. 

Other funding applications 

had been sent out, and the group 

expected to hear whether these 

were successful before the end of 

the year. 

The group was expecting a 

geotechnical report of the land 

to be completed within the next 

month that would detail the 

ground conditions and enable 

architectural plans to be made. 

It would then take the next 

step of reaching out to businesses 

in the area for financial support. 

The growth of the area meant 

the pool would be a valuable 

amenity, she said. 

Once it opens, residents can 

expect an outdoor heated pool, a 

learners pool, a toddlers’ splash 

area, landscaped grounds with 

picnic areas, and a facility with 

toilets, showers and meeting 

rooms.

achieve a 

premium 

result before 

Christmas?

In Brief 

MONEY LEFT OVER 

AFTER BOARD GRANTS 

The Papanui-Innes Community 

Board has $699 remaining after 

allocating funds to applicants 

planning community events as 

part of the Summer with your 

Neighbours programme. The 

left over money will go to the 

board’s discretionary response 

fund. A total of $2801 was 

shared between 25 applicants. 

The three largest grants were 

worth $200 each and the two 

smallest were for $50. 

NEW CAR PARKS FOR 

PAPANUI STREET 

Nine right angle parks are set 

to be installed in Winston Ave 

after they were approved by the 

Papanui-Innes Community 

Board. The parks will be 

restricted to a maximum of 

60min on the south side of the 

road. A disability park will be 

installed as part of the changes 

with a time limit of 120min. 

SEED SWAP PLANNED AT 

COMMUNITY GARDEN 

A spring seedling swap will be 

held on Saturday at the Packe 

Street Park and Community 

Garden in Edgeware. Starting at 

1pm, people will be able to spend 

the afternoon exchanging flower, 

herb and vegetable seedlings 

with other members of the 

community. 

• From page 1 

The trust aims to expand its 

services with a $126,000 kitchen 

upgrade, giving the kitchen 

commercial capacity. 

“They’re looking at becoming 

more self-sufficient through this 

initial cost, and I think we need 

to support that,” Norrish said. 

The trust knew the 

community well and knew the 

needs of the people it catered to, 

she said. 

Board member Pauline Cotter 

also supported the grant. 

“The work these people are 

doing in their local community 

is outstanding,” she said. 

“It’s going to have a really 

good outcome and it’s going to 

last them for years.” 

However, board member Ali 

Jones said she 

was against 

granting 

the funding 

because she 

believed the 

kitchen’s 

price tag was 

Ali Jones excessive and 

there was a far greater need 

elsewhere in the community. 

“I just think we’re getting 

outside what we should be doing 

here.” 

She believed the trust would 

be able to raise the funds it 

needed without the board’s 

help. 

Board member Emma 

Twaddell also voted against 

the grant, saying it put the 

community board in the role 

EXPANDING: 

The Northgate 

Community 

Services Trust 

has received a 

grant of $4000 

from the 

Papanui-Innes 

Community 

Board 

towards a 

major kitchen 

upgrade. 

Ratepayers fund kitchen 

of an ambulance at the bottom 

of the hill. “We don’t have a 

huge amount of money and its 

community funding. I see a lot 

of that going into social services, 

which is a government role,” she 

said. 

Trust cafe co-ordinator Mel 

Calles said the contribution was 

appreciated. 

“It’s fantastic – it’s helping 

move towards that bigger 

vision.” 

The current plan was to 

renovate the area around 

Christmas time, providing 

funding was secured, she said. 

During the meeting, the 

community board also 

approved a grant of $6000 to 

the Christchurch Football Club 

towards water leak repairs. 

Skate park 

upgrade to 

start next year 


SKATERS WILL have to wait 

until next year for the wheels to 

start turning on a $392,000 city 

council project. 

Work to upgrade the Bishopdale 

Skate Park was scheduled to begin 

this month but has now been 

rescheduled to early 2022. 

City council capital delivery 

community manager Darren 

Moses said several factors were 

behind the delay. 

“Resource consenting and 

tender preparation took longer 

than expected, and there were 

additional delays due to impacts 

associated with the recent 

Covid-19 lockdown and restricted 

working requirements,” Moses 

said. 

“We are aiming to start works 

after the summer holidays subject 

to an acceptable tender outcome 

and contractor availability.” 

Installed in 1980s and 1990s, 

the current skate park lacks 

variety and is becoming worn out, 

both factors behind the planned 

upgrade. 

The new design includes a 

1.65m quarter pipe pocket and a 

1.2m high mini ramp. 

There will also be bench seating 

and a picnic table.

Quilters’ work on show at exhibition 


THE COVID-19 pandemic has 

caused a surge of people reaching 

for a sewing machine to try their 

hand at the craft of quilt-making. 

Christchurch Quilters president 

Maria Rohs said the club’s 

biennial exhibition this week has 

more than 200 entries. 

“We used to struggle to get 

100,” Rohs said. 

“We’ve got a lot more quilts in 

the show than we usually do because 

people have had two lockdowns, 

this year and last year, so 

everyone’s had more time. 

“People are keener on getting 

back into traditional things.” 

The exhibition will run in the 

Papanui High School hall until 

Sunday. This year the theme is 

“vivid.” 

A wide range of styles from 

traditional to modern would be 

on show, with three non-members 

selecting prize-winners. 

Roh is among the exhibitors, 

although she had been to busy 

organising the event to enter any 

major works. 

However, her handiwork 

earned her a national award in 

the Aotearoa Quilters’ Great 

New Zealand Quilt Show earlier 

this year. 

She was thrilled when her 

piece, Night View at Sunset, won 

the small quilt section. 

SPRING HAS SPRUNG 

Let the team at Airify Christchurch spring clean your heat pump 

The piece was inspired by 

the view from her home, and she 

captured the intense light by using 

metallic thread. 

In over three decades of the 

craft, she had only ever made one 

quilt for herself, she said. 

“I’ve only ever had one of my 

own, when I had my 60th birthday 

I got some floral fabric and 

got everyone to make a block 

each.’’ 

Several sewing machines 

were set up as around 50 people 

pitched in with their contributions, 

and each person also 

signed their fabric. 

This favourite quilt of the 

many she had made, and received 

a lot of use, she said. 

She first discovered quilting 35 

years ago after hearing that her 

local church ran craft sessions, 

charging just $1 to cover cups of 

tea. 

A keen sewer since her 

school days, her curiosity was 

aroused. 

“I’d heard about it and I 

thought: ‘That sounds interesting, 

I’ll go along and try it’.” 

Three years later, she became 

one of the earliest members of 

the Christchurch Quilters. 

Scraps of old, handmade 

clothes, as well as specially 

bought fabric, were used to 

make her first piece, a “pretty

basic” bed quilt for one of her 

daughters. 

Over three decades later, she 

had much more material to 

hand. 

“You see lovely fabric that you 

like and then you buy it and 

gradually you build up quite a 

collection.” 

Her current stash included 

pieces from the early days when 

she was just starting, as well as 

fabric from her family’s native 

Austria, and hand-customised 

fabric she had worked on during 

craft classes. 

Most were cotton, the standard 

quilting fabric because of its 

longevity.

team of qualified bakers 

The creativity of the craft was 

her favourite thing about it 

“It’s an artistic outlet. I’ve got 

more into art quilts and I’m not 

making so many bed quilts now.” 

This was common for quilters 

who had worked their way 

through all of their family members, 

she said. 

All her grandchildren were 

equipped with personalised 

quilts, so she had turned to make 

smaller, ornamental works of her 

own design. 

Nature was a constant inspiration. 

A forest scene depicting 

kōwhai and kererū was currently 

under way, and she had recently 

finished a piece based on fallen 

winter leaves. 

Another quilt she had recently 

finished was based on leaves 

she noticed on the ground over 

winter. 

“I don’t think it is hard, you 

just need to decide you want to 

do it and find out how.” 

Learning the craft was easier 

than ever these days, especially 

because of online tutorials on 

sites such as YouTube, she said. 

However, it was a time-intensive 

hobby. 

“Only once did I actually take 

a note of all the hours. It was a 

queen-sized quilt that I made 

for a friend. It was 90 hours, and 

that . . . was just making the top 

of it.”

Spring has finally sprung – and while it’s wonderful to see all the daffodils 

and cherry blossoms in bloom, this time of year can be brutal for those of us 

with allergies and hay fever! 

The Canterbury nor-wester is famous for blowing pollen all over town – 

and while heading indoors can seem like the only escape from air-borne 

allergens, these microscopic dust and pollen particles can actually build 

up in your heat pump over time. Getting your heat pump cleaned every 

12-months is the best way to keep the air circulating in your home fresh, 

clean and allergen-free – and Airify Christchurch is here to professionally 

tick one important job off your spring-cleaning to-do list!

When your brand includes the top Harcourts 

office out of 900 around the world in addition 

to the top franchise in the South Island for

you’ve got an extraordinary team. 

So for these consultants to earn the position of one 

of the top fifteen real estate sales consultants at 

Harcourts gold is truly a remarkable achievement. 

They are phenomenally good at what they do;

exceptional results for property owners. I am 

extremely proud to work with these real estate

New bus stop planned for The Palms 

THE PALMS will soon get a 

new and improved bus hub. 

City council acting 

head of transport 

Lynette Ellis said the 

bus stop will be safer 

and easier to use. 

The current stop on 

New Brighton Rd will 

be moved to create an 

improved bus shelter 

and new waiting area. 

The work will involve 

moving it towards the 

Marshland Rd intersection 

to create a more attractive 

space for the 250 bus 

passengers who use the 

bus stop daily. 

“The existing bus 

stop is on the south 

side of the mall which 

is exposed to the 

weather and has poor 

visibility from the mall 

entrances. 

“The new bus stop and 

shelter will be located by 

Lynette 

Ellis 

the car park and has better 

connectivity to The Palms 

and other connecting bus 

services.” 

The work includes a 

better bus shelter, indented 

bus bays, improved lighting, 

new bike racks at the bus 

stop, replacing the existing 

magnolia trees with new 

magnolias and landscaping 

plus new kerb and footpath 

work where the existing bus 

stop was.

NEWSLINE 

“We’ll be using part of The 

Palms car park to construct 

the relocated bus stop and 

this will be a short detour for 

pedestrians while we do the 

work but the disruption will be 

minimal. 

“Bus users can continue to 

use the existing bus stop while 

we work on the new one,” Ellis 

said. 

Work on the hub started 

this week and is expected to be 

finished in December.

First 

Home 

We are constantly reminded 

of the uphill nature of the 

challenges for first-home 

buyers. Browse any newspaper 

or Stuff headlines any weekend 

and you’ll be familiar with the 

narrative. I’ve just seen reports 

that first-home buyer interest 

in Christchurch property rose 18 

per cent following the first week 

of our local lockdown 

(The Press, Sept 18, 2021). 

Deposits that can require years of saving, 

emptying out of KiwiSaver accounts and 

a real adjustment of what’s affordable 

versus what’s aspirational are a significant 

part of the story. 

That first home purchase is hard, it’s true, 

but it’s also extremely sweet and I was 

reminded of this recently when I witnessed 

young families walking together, children 

in tow, heading down to the local school. 

They were travelling along the street 

where I grew up and I use the word ‘travel’ 

figuratively because what occurred to me 

They were proud as punch that they had 

secured a home in the newly developed 

suburb of Bishopdale and only a mere 

100 metres from Cotswold School, where 

I think we were founding students. It was a 

busy, bustling neighbourhood of working 

dads and mostly stay-at-home mums. 

Biscuit tins were full and Sunday was the 

family roast day. So many memories, and 

now I’m wondering, would these new 

families stay for long in the area, do they 

love the school, would their kids befriend 

all the locals as we did and play at the 

nearby parks till almost dark?! I hope so. 

On a recent auction day, I watched 

young couples battle for the keys to 

new properties and I noticed two very 

significant things. 

The prices had gone up considerably since 

this time last year. Homes that once would 

have been up to the $550,000 mark were 

now due to auction touching $700,000 

and in some cases more. 

I can’t help but wonder who can afford this. 

And secondly, parents, beautiful parents
