Speeding 

tickets 

do not 

reflect 

residents’ 

reality 

• By Fiona Ellis 

POLICE ISSUED 341 speeding 

tickets on Cranford St last year. 

It comes as Papanui-Innes 

Community Board member 

Ali Jones raised concerns that 

police were not 

patrolling the 

area enough to 

catch speedsters. 

“There is 

no doubt 

that speeding 

and red-light 

running are 

issues along the Ali Jones 

[Christchurch 

Northern Corridor] and in St 

Albans generally,” Jones said. 

In an area of Cranford St with 

a speed limit of 50km/h, one 

car allegedly reached speeds of 

between 91km/h to 100km/h. 

In the same speed zone, six 

drivers were allegedly travelling 

between 81-90km/h, 37 between 

71-80km/h, 252 between 

61-70km/h and 40 between 

51-60km/h. 

In an area with a speed limit 

of 30km/h, four drivers allegedly 

reached speeds of between 

41-50km/h, and one between 

51-60km/h.

Hot pools making a splash 

In Brief 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

HE PUNA Taimoana hot pools 

were introduced as part of the 

New Brighton Regeneration 

Project, to attract more visitors 

to the area. 

While local business owners 

welcomed new customers when 

the pools first opened, Covid has 

made it difficult to see the true 

impact. 

Karma Free Cafe owner Vanda 

Chandran said before the traffic 

light system, the hot pools were 

bringing more business to the 

area and her cafe. 

“We had people coming in 

after the hot pools and getting 

food, or before the pools,” she 

said. 

“It’s been good for bringing 

people in as well as [for] the 

locals. It’s definitely positive for 

New Brighton.” 

However, The Burger Joint 

owner Caroline Riley said while 

the hot pools brought some new 

business, it wasn’t the main 

source. 

Riley said most of her business 

was due to the growing number 

of young families moving into 

New Brighton, discovering 

what’s happening in their local 

area. 

“We’ve always been supported 

really well by our local community,” 

she said. “We’ve still seen 

a steady increase in the business

but not fully as a result of the 

hot pools, but I would definitely 

attribute some of it to it.” 

The hot pools recently experienced 

its second summer season 

and management said it was a 

great success.

Merryn Skipper said the pools 

were especially popular over the 

holiday period, attracting guests 

from not only the city, but also 

the country. 

“Cantabrians have brought 

a lot of Christmas cheer to our 

seaside facility with an increase 

Ascent & 

McKinlays 

from $79.95 - $149 

of guests visiting in December 

from the same time last year,” 

she said. 

In spite of being shut for a 

month in August and September 

with lockdown and maintenance, 

the pools saw more than 10,000 

guests over the Christmas and 

New Year holiday period. 

At the same time, they 

welcomed 55,000 guests to New 

Brighton in the first six months 

of the financial year. 

“We really appreciate 

the continued strong local 

community support,” Skipper 

said. “Cantabrians are bringing 

friends and family to the 

hot pools when they visit 

Christchurch.” 

Coastal 

Ward 

councillor 

Celeste 

Donovan said 

there is “no 

doubt” the 

hot pools have 

Celeste

had a positive 

impact on New 

Brighton and 

the Coastal Ward as a whole. 

“It has lifted the confidence of 

residents by having a world-class 

facility right on our back door,” 

she said. 

“We know that electronic 

spending in New Brighton 

has increased since the hot 

pools opened.” 

DONALD’S CABIN BUILT 

Volunteers visited the New 

Brighton Community Gardens 

to help out with building a 

cabin for Donald, a blind and 

deaf sculptor. The volunteers 

were from Citycare Property, 

Connetics, Orion, New Brighton 

Menz Shed and Shirley Boys’ 

High School. The final touches, 

such as floorboards and doors, 

will be done this weekend.

Kees Bruin: Visions of the Real 

by John c stringer and Kees Bruin 

Two years after graduating, Kees Bruin was exhibiting alongside Leo Bensemann, Don 

Binney, Doris Lusk, Trevor Moffitt, Peter Siddell, Olivia Spencer-Bower, Grahame Sydney, 

Robin White, and Brent Wong. For more than five decades of dedicated painterly 

practice and exhibition, Kees Bruin has established a unique visionary identity within 

the framework of New Zealand realism that is enthusiastically commissioned and 

collected internationally. His three overlapping categories: photo-realism, super-realism 

and what he terms “visionary-realism,” sprung from a personal search for all things 

truth hence his clever use of symbol, have gifted us exquisite panoramic landscapes, 

expressions of cultural pursuits such as surfing and skateboarding often imbued with 

metaphor, single and group portraits, reinterpretations of masters, especially the Dutch 

Golden Age, elaborated ‘still-lifes’ and works that explore elements of western Judaeo- 

Christian histories combined with contemporaneous fashions, settings and views to and 

from the earth. This personal genre launches us as art viewers into emotional odysseys 

of timeless human concern: Spirituality, the universe, beauty, truth, life and death, sex, 

betrayal, vanity and loss, as well as using paint to express beauty for its own sake.

Rise by siya Kolisi 

‘Siya Kolisi is a warrior on the field and an inspiration off it. This book is an extraordinary reminder 

of what can be achieved with inner belief and an indefatigable spirit.’ JAY SHETTY ‘Siya’s story is well 

documented, and I am so impressed by the way he conducts himself. As the captain of his team and 

as a statesman he is measured and thoughtful. He is a leader in every way. An inspiration to a dynamic 

South African nation.’ EDDIE JONES His truth. His story. In his words. There have been many comments 

made and books written about Siya Kolisi, captain of the Springboks, and the first black man to lead his 

country in over 128 years of South African rugby. But now, for the very first time, Siya Kolisi shares his 

story in an extraordinarily intimate memoir, charting his journey from being born into the impoverished 

Zwide township, to leading his proud nation to an astonishing victory at the Rugby World Cup in 2019. 

However, Rise is not simply a chronology of matches played and games won; it is an exploration of a 

man’s race and his faith, a masterclass in attaining a positive mindset, and an inspirational reminder 

that it is possible to defy the odds, no matter how they are stacked against you. In 2020, partly in 

response to the pandemic, Siya and his wife, Rachel, launched The Kolisi Foundation, providing personal 

protective equipment to healthcare workers and delivering food parcels throughout South Africa. The 

title Rise is inspired by Siya’s mother - Phakama - which translates to the book’s name, as well as a 

celebration of his Xhosa heritage. 

Leap of Faith 

by Frankie dettori 

When Lanfranco ‘Frankie’ Dettori arrived on British shores in 1985, aged just 14, he couldn’t speak a 

word of English. Having left school just a year earlier and following in the footsteps of his father, he was 

eager to become a stable boy and apprentice jockey, willing to do everything it took to make it. This was 

his first, but certainly not his last, leap of faith. Despite his slight size, Frankie’s impact upon the British 

racing scene was immediate and significant. Brimming with confidence, charisma and personality, and 

with what was clearly a precocious talent, in 1990 he became the first teenager since Lester Piggot to 

win over 100 races in a single season. By 1996, Frankie was already established as a celebrity in the 

sport and an adopted national treasure, but it was his extraordinary achievement of winning all seven 

races in a single day at Ascot that cemented his reputation as the greatest rider of his generation. Nearly 

25 years later, and having won the Longines World’s Best Jockey for three consecutive years running, 

Frankie has demonstrated an unparalled level of longevity at the pinnacle of his sport. But his story is not 

simply one of uninterrupted success, but also of personal anguish, recovery and restoration – both in and 

out of the saddle.. Heartfelt and poignant, this is not simply a memoir, but a celebration of perseverance 

and defying the odds. 

Little Bird of Auschwitz 

by alina & Jacques Peretti 

As a reporter, Jacques Peretti has spent his life investigating important stories. But there was one story, heard in 

scattered fragments throughout his childhood, that he never thought to investigate. The story of how his mother 

survived Auschwitz. 

In the few last months of the War, thirteen-year-old Alina Peretti, along with her mother and sister, was one of 

thirteen thousand non-Jewish Poles sent to Auschwitz, in the wake of the Warsaw Uprising. Her experiences there, 

which she rarely discussed, cast a shadow over the rest of her life. Now ninety, Alina has been diagnosed with 

dementia. Together, mother and son begin a race against time to record her memories and preserve her family’s 

story. For the first time, Alina recalls her experiences as a child during the Second World War, the horrors that she 

witnessed in Auschwitz, and the miraculous story of how she survived a firing squad. 

Along the way, Jacques learns long-hidden secrets about his mother’s family; his mysterious grandfather who lived 

a double-life, his grandmother who read tarot cards in a Soviet labour camp, and his aunt and uncles, whose fate 

he never knew. He also gains an understanding of his mother through retracing her past, learning more about the 

woman who would never let him call her ‘Mum’.

TRAFFIC ISSUES: Papanui-Innes Community Board 

member Ali Jones is concerned about police 

enforcement of speed limits on Cranford St. 

Hundreds of tickets 

on Cranford St 

•From page 1 

Last year, Jones raised 

concerns with the board about 

traffic speeding in Cranford St 

and the Christchurch Northern 

Corridor, noting she did not see 

a police presence in the area. 

She said an average of less than 

one speeding ticket per day was 

issued on Cranford St and did 

not alter her position on this. 

“No amount of quoted police 

data relating to the number of 

tickets issued or average speeds 

is going to change what many of 

us regularly see and experience,” 

Jones said. 

City council data taken in 

May shows an average daily 

traffic count of 24,741 on 

Cranford St, between Innes Rd 

and Knowles St, with an average 

speed of 42km/h. 

Lower down on Cranford St, 

between Westminster St and 

Berwick St, the daily average 

was 23,098, with an average 

speed of 37.5km/h. 

Police declined to give 

statistics on how many speeding 

tickets were issued on the CNC, 

stating these would be recorded 

as State Highway 76 and could 

have been issued anywhere 

along the highway. 

When asked how frequently 

the roads were patrolled, police 

did not specify a number, 

stating the area was patrolled 

“to a level supported by the risk 

it poses compared to the rest of 

Christchurch.” 

Said Jones: “The number 

of tickets issues are related to 

the amount of policing, surely, 

and we still don’t know that 

amount. 

“This is about the safety of 

our community, and I believe 

the council and police need to 

work together more effectively 

to address these problems.”

CONTENT MARKETING 

Five ways to add value to your property 

WHETHER YOU are trying to 

sell your house now or looking 

ahead to a possible sale in the 

years to come, maximising your 

sale price is an important consideration. 

If you are investing money in 

repairs and renovations, you want 

to be sure you will get bang for 

your buck, otherwise known as 

return on investment. So how do 

you add value to your home in 

ways that are truly meaningful to 

buyers? 

Upgrade your bathrooms 

and kitchen 

There’s an unwritten rule of real 

estate that bathrooms and kitchens 

are what sell houses. 

However, renovations and improvements 

in these spaces can be 

costly, so don’t jump in without 

first running the numbers, and 

doing some proper planning. 

Be sure to research what’s ‘on 

trend’ – the last thing you want 

to do is invest in an upgrade 

that’s now out of style and 

won’t do your house price any 

favours. Interior decorators, real 

estate agents, and professional 

property valuers are all great 

people to tap for advice on this. 

Give the property a lick of 

paint 

Not every change you make has 

to involve a large-scale overhaul 

of appliances or restructure of an 

entire space. Sometimes, all that’s 

needed is a little TLC and refresh 

to bring a tired-looking property 

back to life. 

Focus on areas that receive a lot 

of wear and tear – interior doors 

being a great example. You’d be 

amazed at how a fresh coat of 

white paint on old wooden doors 

can help modernise a property in 

the eyes of your buyers. 

Rethink internal garages 

Increasing the size of existing 

rooms or making unlivable spaces 

liveable will help grow the value 

of your home. If you can declutter 

these spaces and make a couple 

of comfort-adding changes, you 

have an entirely new room at 

your disposal. 

Add a sleepout 

Building a studio or sleepout 

can add between $50,000 and 

$100,000 in value to a New 

Zealand property and could also 

attract a larger pool of buyers. 

There’s currently huge interest 

in home-and- income 

properties. 

Be sure you understand the 

legal ramifications of adding what 

is essentially a separate dwelling 

onto your existing home. 

Invest in outdoor living 

spaces 

During the Covid lockdowns, 

we all learned the importance 

of living close to green spaces 

or having a garden of our own. 

Poorly kept gardens can be a real 

turn-off during open homes or 

private viewings.

After what has been a fantastic holiday break it is great to 

be back at kura and preparing for what will be a rewarding 

year ahead. The year began with a hiss and a roar and 

unfortunately COVID-19 is still prevalent in our daily lives. 

There is a lot of discussion on social media about the 

implications of COVID-19 restrictions on ākonga at kura. 

Haeata’s focus is always on keeping ākonga and kaimahi 

safe and so we will be requiring everyone to wear a mask 

in line with the Ministry of Health advice. There will be 

times in the day and zones around the kura where mask 

wearing will not be quite so intrusive. It is our hope that we 

can manage this very challenging time positively together 

through our “Mask Up” strategy. 

Whaowhia te kete mātauranga 

Fill the basket of knowledge 

It was a beautiful experience meeting our new whānau 

and ākonga on Orientation Day. A warm welcome to our 

new kaimahi/staff and our new ākonga and whānau all of 

whom join us this year with a real sense of excitement. 

We are so pleased to call you whānau. 

After two years of a careful reset we are about to restart. 

Just what does that mean for us as a kura? It means that 

we acknowledge that initially Haeata has some teething 

problems as we found our way as a newly established 

Urban Area School after a decade of earthquake and 

social disruption. It means that for the past two 

years we have reviewed, revised and consulted 

around the best approaches to learning for us 

as a 21st Century learning community. It means 

we now have a clear and articulated sense of 

direction. It means we did not ‘throw the baby 

out with the bathwater’ but instead ensured 

we kept the best, left the rest and focused on 

creating learning opportunities that build and 

strengthen both community and ākonga. It 

means we acknowledge that while we are a huge 

modern learning environment, we will ensure 

learning is relevant, personalised and focused on 

positive ākonga outcomes. 

Kāhore taku toa i te toa takitahi, he toa takitini 

We cannot succeed without the support of 

those around us 

Haeata Community Campus celebrated 

unprecedented success in NCEA in 2021 and I am so 

proud of both our ākonga and kaimahi who 

worked tirelessly throughout what was a most 

challenging year to ensure success for all! 

NCEA Level 1 - The 2021 pass rate increased 

by 25.8% from 2020. We had one student 

complete Level 2 in Year 11. 


by 10.2% from our 2020 results. 


by 20.5% from our 2020 results. 78% of our 

ākonga leave us with Level 2 or above. 

University Entrance - The 2021 pass rate 

increased by 100% meaning we doubled the 

number of ākonga who met the requirements of UE, in 

2021. Two ākonga also gained a Takere scholarship to the 

University of Canterbury. 

Kua takoto te manuka 

The leaves of the manuka tree have been laid down 

The Canterbury District Health Board is partnering with 

Haeata to provide a ‘Walk In’ Vaccination Clinic on our 

campus. There is NO requirement to have your ākonga 

vaccinated, it is merely a service provided by fully trained

is moving 

into the heart of new Brighton 

ITstuffed is a growing IT company with 

its roots in New Brighton. 

With the support and trust of the 

community they managed to grow, from 

a one-man band to a team that is sought 

after by their clients. 

Moving into their new office space 

ITstuffed will be able to provide drop off 

services to their residential client base. 

This includes fixing slow computers, 

broken screens and any other 

complication you would normally come 

across at home. They will keep providing 

their mobile service for any issues that 

are related to the home, such as WiFi or 

internet issues. 

ITstuffed also serves business clients 

as cyber security consultants and a 

managed service provider (MSP). 

Daniel Lechner-Page, managing 

director, shared: “One of the biggest 

advantages for us will be that we can 

invite our clients to visit us for sensitive 

meetings. Also, if we get urgent jobs 

and a client wants to wait, being right 

next to The Burger Joint and Switch New 

Brighton, gives them something to do.” 

And to the question “Why New 

Brighton?”, Daniel said, “There are two 

reasons. Firstly, New Brighton is home, 

it’s where my son goes to preschool, 

where friends live and work. Secondly, 

I believe New Brighton will return to 

the glorious days from the 80s. I want 

ITstuffed to be part and a driver of this 

change.” 

ITstuffed will open at 5/78 Brighton 

Mall (also known as Carnaby Lane) on 

Monday 14 February 2022. They will be 

available from 9 to 5, Monday to Friday.

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 

income per sales consultant, it’s clear that 

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; 

skilled, highly trained and dedicated to delivering 

exceptional results for property owners. I am 

extremely proud to work with these real estate 

professionals.

2022 | MARKET INSIGHTS 

The question that we all want answered for 2022 - where is the 

property market heading? On 1 st December 2021, we saw 

changes to The Government’s Credit Contracts and Consumer 

Finance Act (CCCFA), having a major impact on our first 

homebuyers, now requiring a minimum deposit of 20% on any 

property purchase. 

After two months of continuing on with marketing campaigns & 

auctions, we are still finding that buyers have the fear of missing 

out in this current market. The buyers that we are seeing 

through open homes now are genuine buyers, with preapprovals 

ready to buy and determination get a foot-hold on the 

property ladder. 

Desirable locations such as our Coastal Suburbs are forever in 

hot demand across a range of buyers. We have seen record 

prices take place over the past 18 months and we see prices 

being stable moving forward. 

Heading into the winter months, there will be a limitation of 

HOMES for sale which will increase the demand. To take full 

advantage of these opportunities, talk to your coastal HOME 

specialist today!

ANOTHER HOME SOLD 

45 SURFERS PLACE | NORTH NEW BRIGHTON 

#WE CARE YOU MATTER 

The HOME at 45 Surfers Place was an instant hit 

online, reaching over 12,837 potential buyers wanting 

to set down roots in the popular suburb of North New 

Brighton. 

We had 32 groups through the doors at open homes 

and enquiries coming through thick and fast! Using a 

new method of online bidding meant our vendors 

could sit back and watch the offers roll in as the 

deadline drew to a close, leaving them thrilled with the 

end result at $320,000 above GV. 

As you have seen over the years we have sold a lot of 

homes, and we are especially passionate about the 

coastal area. We can highlight the benefit of living on 

the East side better than any other company. 

Whether it be to use your existing home as leverage to 

complete the renovation you have dreamed of, 

purchase an investment or holiday home, or merely 

know what you’re sitting on for your retirement. 

Whatever your plans are, we are here to help you on 

your journey whenever you may need us. For friendly, 

genuine advice, contact a HOME specialist today. 

169 SOLEARES AVENUE | MT PLEASANT 

YOUR HOME ON THE HILL 

Perched on the crest of the hill, at the very top of Soleares 

Avenue, on a north-facing section offering a vista of city & sea 

views. Comprising three bedrooms and two living areas, this is
