LAST WEEK the city<br />

council received a<br />

significant number of<br />

deputations on the city<br />

council’s submission on<br />

the proposed law change<br />

that would require us to<br />

amend our district plan<br />

to allow most of the city’s<br />

residential sections to<br />

be subdivided into three<br />

properties, each of three or<br />

more storeys.<br />

THis would mean there<br />

would be minimal or no<br />

restrictions, often without<br />

resource consent being<br />

required or the public<br />

being notified.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y were very concerned<br />

about the loss of<br />

greenspace and trees, and<br />

a detriment to local amenity<br />

and the liveability of<br />

local neighbourhoods. We<br />

agree.<br />

We made it clear that the<br />

city council is supportive<br />

of the Government’s<br />

aims to address housing<br />

shortages and enable the<br />

delivery of a wider range of<br />

housing options.<br />

It might have been a<br />

bi-partisan announcement,<br />

however, there had been<br />

no prior engagement with<br />

local government and<br />

with residents of cities like<br />

ours.<br />

<strong>The</strong> legislation is<br />

going to have significant<br />

impacts on council’s placemaking,<br />

land-use and<br />

infrastructure planning<br />

work, as well as on our<br />

local communities and<br />

neighbourhoods.<br />

We think a collaborative<br />

partnership between local<br />

and central government<br />

would produce better<br />

outcomes than a onesize-fits-all,<br />

legislative<br />

approach. But we have said<br />

this before.<br />

<strong>The</strong>re seems to be little<br />

consideration of the<br />

work the city has done<br />

OPINION 21<br />

One-size-fits-all is not<br />

the way to go when it<br />

comes to city planning<br />

Mayor<br />

Lianne Dalziel<br />

with our neighbouring<br />

districts dating back to<br />

the Greater Christchurch<br />

Urban Development<br />

Strategy, something which<br />

helped us get through the<br />

displacement impacts of<br />

the 2010/2011 Canterbury<br />

earthquakes, with the<br />

development of the Land<br />

Use Recovery Plan and<br />

Replacement District<br />

Plan. We have already<br />

committed to increased<br />

residential growth through<br />

intensification, rather than<br />

urban sprawl.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Government Policy<br />

Statement on Housing<br />

and Urban Development<br />

says that ‘places should be<br />

accessible, connected, well<br />

designed and resilient’.<br />

We agree and that’s what<br />

missing from the one-sizefits-all<br />

approach.<br />

FOCUS ON HEALTH<br />

Amazing health miracles<br />

from the silkworm<br />

Serrapeptase an enzyme produced in<br />

silkworms may become one of the most<br />

widely used natural health solutions<br />

for its ability to replace the majority of<br />

anti-inflammatory drugs and bypass<br />

operations. It is nature’s answer to pain,<br />

chronic inflammation and clogged<br />

arteries. Enzymes are essential for<br />

life. Constantly working to build and<br />

regenerate the body, they help digest<br />

food, break down toxins and cleanse the<br />

blood, in addition to thousands of other<br />

functions. A lack of enzymes in the body<br />

leads to food intolerances, allergies,<br />

digestive issues, disease and poor health.<br />

Studies show an average 70-year old has<br />

only 20 percent of the enzymes found in<br />

the body of a 20-year old.<br />

Serrapeptase is a natural antiinflammatory,<br />

which can clean, clear<br />

and reduce inflammation while<br />

dissolving non-living tissue including<br />

blood clots, cysts, arterial plaque and<br />

mucus. One of its major benefits is its<br />

ability to reduce pain.<br />

<strong>The</strong> serrapeptase enzyme was first<br />

found in the intestine of the silkworm<br />

in the late 1960’s. <strong>The</strong> silkworm uses it<br />

to dissolve the hard cocoon, allowing<br />

the moth to escape as well as to digest<br />

the tough mulberry leaves it feeds on.<br />

Serrapeptase can now be produced<br />

commercially by a fermentation process<br />

of the microorganism Serriata E15. It is<br />

prescribed by doctors across Europe and<br />

Asia.<br />

Clinical studies over the last 40 years<br />

Thursday <strong>November</strong> <strong>18</strong> <strong>2021</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Star</strong><br />

have shown serrapeptase to have<br />

remarkable benefits in a vast range of<br />

health conditions including; blocked<br />

arteries, cardiovascular, arthritis,<br />

asthma, lung conditions, pain, tumors,<br />

autoimmune disease and many more.<br />

In Germany, Dr. Hans Nieper clinically<br />

researched serrapeptase and found it<br />

could clear blocked arteries and prevent<br />

the need for bypass operations. U.K.<br />

pharmacist Dennis Gore talked on BBC<br />

radio about the dramatic results he has<br />

had with serrapeptase. One case was a<br />

man in his 60’s who had been a heavy<br />

smoker, was wheeled into his pharmacy.<br />

He was breathless due to emphysema<br />

and COPD and could hardly talk. He<br />

was on antibiotics, oxygen and getting<br />

bad infections. Dennis prescribed him<br />

serrapeptase and three weeks later the<br />

man walked into his pharmacy, with<br />

no wheelchair and no breathlessness<br />

and said to Dennis he was no longer on<br />

antibiotics, nor oxygen cylinders and<br />

was feeling great.<br />

Serrapeptase has been shown to be<br />

very safe supplement and according<br />

to researchers can be used with most<br />

medications. However let your doctor<br />

know as medications may need reducing<br />

or stopping as the need for them<br />

reduces.<br />

Benefits from<br />

the silkworm<br />

Serrapeptase, an enzyme first discovered in the silkworm, could<br />

become one of the most widely used natural health remedies due<br />

to its ability to potentially replace the majority of anti-inflammatory<br />

drugs & bypass operations.<br />

Serrapeptase is a natural anti-inflammatory enzyme that according<br />

to research can clean, clear & reduce inflammation while safely<br />

dissolving non-living tissue such as blood clots, cysts, arterial<br />

plaque & mucus. One of its major benefits is its ability to reduce<br />

pain & clear clogged arteries.<br />
