4 Thursday October 28 2021 No bridge renaming process established • From page 1 “Some of our residents have queried the reasons behind the naming of this bridge, as have we. “Perhaps it could reflect the areas on both sides of the bridge rather than a suburb name,” Johns said. Coastal-Burwood Community Board member Bebe Frayle asked city council officers at a recent meeting, if a process for the naming of the Avondale Bridge has been Anzac Fronds back in place ready for unveiling established. Council officers advised her that no process has been established. They then advised the meeting that if the Burwood East Residents’ Association, other groups or individuals wanted to propose names for the bridge, they were welcome to send their suggestions through to council for consideration when the naming process is established. Names mooted so far have With only weeks to go before their official unveiling, the large metal fronds located at the intersection of Anzac Drive and New Brighton Rd, are attracting interest from passing motorists. Repurposed to honour the Anzac story, the new-look fronds will align with the Poppies over Gallipoli sculpture on the corner of Anzac Drive and Travis Rd. The Anzac Fronds were originally installed on Anzac Bridge light poles, and have been in storage for several years.

All three bridges have been funded by earthquake appeal trust at a cost of $11.5 million and will be single-span, made from steel truss, with concrete decks and sliding, and jackable abutments to avoid lateral spread.

Thursday October 28 2021 5 Jordan’s community garden idea grows after getting green light • By John Cosgrove HELPING OTHERS is a calling for Chisnallwood Intermediate pupil Jordan Wilson. If he’s not helping his grandfather clear fallen branches from his farm, or giving his dad a hand around the house, the 12-year-old is helping others at school. In June, while cycling from his home in Shirley to school via the Avondale red zone, Jordan had a brainwave. Why not get a small part of the huge open spaces there and build a garden to feed those in need. “I wanted to do something, so I started asking people online what I had to do to get a small plot of land there to grow vegetables on – a community garden.” Jordan said he was eventually put onto Land Information New Zealand. “It turned out to be a lot of paperwork but everyone loved the idea,” he said. His proposal was given the green light by LINZ in July, and Jordan became the youngest person to be granted a temporary land use licence for the Avon River corridor regeneration area. (Since 2016, LINZ has made former residential red zone land available to community groups and organisations for more than 3000 short-term projects, events or land uses.) From then, Jordan’s small community garden project grabbed the attention of sponsors, community organisations and high profile supporters, who donated materials and time to help him achieve his goal. “City councillor Phil Mauger donated the timber, Citycare staff helped me construct the first four garden beds,” Jordan said. When the soil for the beds was delivered, Jason spent a tiring afternoon moving it by himself from the side of the road to the HANDY GARDENER: Chisnallwood School pupil Jordan Wilson, 12, with his community garden beds in the Avondale red zone.

Now there are six beds on site, and Jordan is propagating plants at home for the coming growing season. “I’m hoping to have tomatoes, carrots, lettuces and cauliflowers in the first crop. Now that we have a water system in place I will soon be transferring them to the beds,” he said. Water was always going to be an issue, as all infrastructure has been removed from red zone land. Jordan’s father Matthew Wilson said his hard-working son spends hours each day either tending the beds after school or online answering the many emails and messages he gets from his Avondale Community Garden Facebook page. “His grandmother even came down from Blenheim to help him with his seed propagation over the school holidays,” Wilson said. Chisnallwood Intermediate principal Justin Fields said setting up the garden was a huge undertaking for anyone, let alone a year 8 student. “Jordan set up this garden because he wants to give to the community. “Even when faced with bureaucracy, he pushed on and won. He shows that any tamariki with leadership can find a place in this world,” Fields said. Jordan said: “It feels good to be doing something good for the community, and now the hard work starts as I have to figure out how to distribute the food once it’s grown.” Trust Law Expert Zara Tonks joins the team at Summit Law Zara is a Senior Associate of our firm and a trust law expert.
