THE PLANNED container

makerspace for Lyttelton, Te Puna

Auaha, has been granted resource

consent.

The Te Puna Auaha project is

finally progressing now the city

council has granted consent and

site development can begin.

Te Puna Auaha, meaning the

spring/pool of creativity/innovation

is a makerspace for Lyttelton

that will provide the community

with a place in which people can

gather to work on projects while

sharing ideas, equipment, and

knowledge.

The planned workshop will be

set up in containers with space

powered and well lit to ensure

safe working environments. Wi-Fi

connection will also be provided.

The project is being supported

by local businesses.

“We have support in the way of

Stark Brothers lending a hand to

move the single container we have

on site to get that out of the way so

that Fulton Hogan can come in,”

project chairman Paul Dietsche said.

“Stark Brothers can later move

the existing container into place

and bring in the three other

containers we have nearby in

Lyttelton. After that, Mick Bennett

from Tradies for Charity will help

us get the electrical wired in for the

various containers,” Dietche said.

HATS OFF to Project

Lyttelton for its carbon coach

initiative (see page 5).

The organisation has

appointed Helen Tulett as

its coach, who will liaise

carbon footprint.

Tulett started her work

last week with Lyttelton

De Thier said he found

the meeting with Tulett very

De Thier is also urging

customers to be nice in these

Pie thrown in supermarket

• By Kristie Boland

SUPERVALUE Lyttelton owner

Rob de Thier has a key message

for shoppers – don’t panic and

be polite.

A couple of weeks ago de Thier

said there was an incident in the

store when a member of his staff

asked a customer to put their

mask on.

The customer responded

angrily by throwing a pie at the

staff member.

“That doesn’t help our staff, it

just puts them on edge,” de Thier

said.

Supermarkets SuperValue

Lyttelton and Four Square

Diamond Harbour have put

plans in place to ensure they can

keep operating while Omicron

continues to spread.

De Their said he has made

delivery available to a small

number of elderly people from

Lyttelton who cannot use online

shopping but are concerned

about going out in public.

“We wanted to make it available

to them so they can ring up

with a list and we deliver. We

have about four or five elderly

people who can’t get out,” de

Thier said.

Supply chains also continue

to be an issue for supermarkets.

De Their said they are adjusting

to the restrictions on products.

“For me here a normal order

is around 600 cartons but I

could get an email saying you’re

not allowed to order more than

350 cartons purely because the

supply chain is so busy at the

moment,” he said.

De Thier said a key message

he wants to get out is for people

to remember everyone is doing

their best and to be polite.

Diamond Harbour Four Square

owner James Grant is encouraging

self-isolating customers to

seek out family and friends for

contactless drop-offs first before

asking for deliveries.

“We have a lot to do at the

moment.

“I’d love to say we could

deliver to everyone but it’s just

not realistic,” Grant said.

MESSAGE:

For those who do not have

that option Grant said they

can deliver and will work

with Civil Defence and the

local fire brigade should they

need to.

“But we are encouraging

people to be self-sufficient, to

lighten the work load on us,”

Grant said.

Help available to reduce carbon footprint

• By Kristie Boland

GOALS: Helen Tulett is New Zealand’s first ever carbon

coach. A role she hopes will empower people to reduce

LYTTELTON households,

businesses and community

groups now have a coach to

support them in reducing their

carbon footprint.

Helen Tulett has taken the role

as carbon coach, a first in New

Zealand of its kind and met with

local businesses last week to help

them on their journey.

The role is an initiative of

Project Lyttelton as part of the

Sustainability Fund that was

set up by city council last year

to assist community action on

climate change and will be a oneyear

pilot programme.

During that time, Tulett plans

to work with 150 households and

hold workshops and events in

conjunction with other organisations.

“Our goal is to connect to

people and places in Lyttelton

and see where we can make a

difference, to lighten the load on

this planet which supports our

every move,” Tulett said.

Tulett started her work last

week with the owner of Lyttelton

SuperValue Rob de Thier.

Lyttelton SuperValue has already

made efforts had to reduce

the shops carbon footprint and

was the first supermarket in New

Zealand to remove plastic bags

from their checkouts.

De Thier said he found the

meeting with Tulett very in-

their carbon footprint.

formative and looks forward to

working with her more in the

future.

“They’ll certainly enlighten

us, the meetings, especially with

educating the public, that will

help,” de Thier said.

Tulett will also meet with

households in person, over the

phone, by zoom or even just in

their driveway to teach and work

with them on a plan.

“It could just be as simple for a

home owner as putting in insulation.

Making homes healthier is

not just about the environmental

impact but just making homes

more comfortable for people,”

Tulett said.

Tulett specifically looks at energy,

food, transport, water and

waste to help people understand

how to measure and reduce

usage across these areas.

Tulett said everybody is at a

different place and she wants to

meet them where they are at.

“This is to really support people

to look at what we do in our

every day lives because it really is

an every day decision that makes

the difference,” Tulett said.

There will also be specific

workshops focused around

It was after the 2011 earthquakes

she really started to

look into food security and

what that might look like for a

community.

“I could see that after a

natural disaster local food networks

are really important,”

said Tulett.

The 37-year-old grew up on a

dairy farm in Lincoln and has

a background in sustainability

and organic farming.

She studied sustainability

at Canterbury University

and then worked there in the

sustainability office helping to

teach staff and students about

energy, transport, water and

waste.

“After the earthquake happened

I wanted to get back to

the land and get my hands in

the soil and reconnect to my

roots,” she said.

Tulett returned to New

those topics.

“Really it’s just about bringing

the community together to look

at where are we and what can

we do as individuals and organisations

to reduce our carbon

footprint,” Tulett said.

While in Quebec she and

her partner worked on organic

“The local food movement in

Quebec is huge, every village

has a local family farmer that’s

doing small scale organic

farming. I really see it as a

model for New Zealand,”

Tulett said.

When they returned they

made the move to Lyttelton.

“I spent my summers on

Banks Peninsula. I love the geographical

feeling, you really

feel like you’re held in Lyttelton

with the hills,” she said.

Tulett hopes to see more carbon

around New Zealand.

because I can see how much

Ravenscar House: A biography

by sally Blundell

Many exciting new buildings have arisen from the rubble of post-earthquake Christchurch but none,

perhaps, is as remarkable as Ravenscar House in the heart of the city’s heritage precinct. Ravenscar

House: A biography explores the story of this unique, purpose-built house museum as the realisation of a

long-held dream and the expression of a heart-warming act of public philanthropy.

Christchurch journalist and writer Sally Blundell tells the compelling story of Jim and Susan Wakefield,

whose vision was to share with their community the eclectic and impressive collection of art and

artefacts that they had endowed to the charitable Ravenscar Trust. After their house on Scarborough Hill

was demolished following the Canterbury earthquakes, the couple were determined to commission a

new house museum, filled with a wide range of works by leading New Zealand artists such as Frances

Hodgkins, Colin McCahon and Bill Sutton – and many more. Designed by renowned architects Patterson

Associates, the Wakefields’ bold but elegant addition to the city was opened in 2021.

Sally Blundell’s engaging and well-informed text is enhanced by family photographs, and stunning

images of Ravenscar House itself, the garden it enfolds and the works within its walls. This is a unique

story of resilience, architectural ingenuity and, above all, extraordinary generosity.

Davos Man

How the Billionaires devoured the World

by Peter s Goodman

The history of the last half century in America, Europe, and other major economies is in large part the

story of wealth flowing upward. The most affluent people emerged from capitalism’s triumph in the Cold

War to loot the peace, depriving governments of the resources needed to serve their people, and leaving

them tragically unprepared for the worst pandemic in a century.

Drawing on decades of experience covering the global economy, award-winning journalist Peter S.

Goodman profiles five representative “Davos Men”–members of the billionaire class–chronicling how

their shocking exploitation of the global pandemic has hastened a fifty-year trend of wealth centralization.

Alongside this reporting, Goodman delivers textured portraits of those caught in Davos Man’s wake,

including a former steelworker in the American Midwest, a Bangladeshi migrant in Qatar, a Seattle doctor

on the front lines of the fight against COVID, blue-collar workers in the tenements of Buenos Aires, an

African immigrant in Sweden, a textile manufacturer in Italy, an Amazon warehouse employee in New

York City, and more.

Spies and Lies: The Mysterious Dr

Dannevill

by Julie Glamuzina

Hjilmar Dannevill travelled the world in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, sometimes using

aliases, sometimes disguised as a male, and claiming to be researching venereal diseases on behalf of

a wealthy Austrian businessman. She arrived in New Zealand in 1911 and falsely presented herself as a

qualified medical professional while helping to set up a private health home run by women. In the hostile

anti-foreigner environment of World War 1, doubts about her sex, identity, qualifications and motivations,

as well as suspicions about her relationships with women, drew the attention of police and military

authorities. In May 1917, although she tried to defend herself, she was declared a German spy and

imprisoned. Like many other women who formed transnational networks stretching across Europe, Asia,

the Americas and the Pacific to New Zealand, in defiance of sex-role stereotypes, Dannevill pursued life,

work and female relationships around the globe. According to the authorities she was ‘a thorouh humbug

and fraud’ and ‘just the sort of person who would take up such a job as a political spy or pimp.’ But who

was Hjilmar Dannevill? Why did she lie? Why was she persecuted? Was she a spy?

Jump: From the Streets to the Suites

by larry Miller

One of the most successful Black businessmen in the US, who has led Nike’s Jordan Brand from a $200M

sneaker company to a $4B global apparel juggernaut, tells the remarkable story of his rise from gangland

violence to the pinnacles of international business. Jump tells Larry Miller’s journey from the violent streets of

West Philly in the 1960s to the highest echelons of American sports and industry. Miller wound up in jail more

than once, especially as a teenager. But he immersed himself in the educational opportunities, eventually took

advantage of a Pennsylvania state education-release program offered to incarcerated people, and was able

to graduate with honors from Temple University. When revealing his gangland past caused him to lose his

first major job opportunity, Miller vowed to keep it a secret. He climbed the corporate ladder with a number of

major companies such as Kraft Foods, Campbell’s Soup, and Jantzen, until Nike hired him to run its domestic

apparel operations. All along, Miller lived two lives: the secret of his violent past haunted him, invading his

days with migraines and his sleep with nightmares of getting hauled back to jail. More than a rags-to-riches

story, Jump is also a passionate appeal for criminal justice reform and expanded educational opportunities for

incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people across the United States. Drawing on his powerful personal story,

as well as his vast and well-connected network, Miller plans to use Jump as a launching point to help expand

such opportunities and to provide an aspirational journey for those who need hope.

Lighting the way

• From page 1

There are four female

volunteers at the brigade: Norris,

a qualified fire fighter; Annabelle

Bain, operational support; Mel

Dixon, a rural fire fighter; and

Dee Tyler, also a rural fire fighter.

Fire and Emergency New

Zealand’s deputy chief executive

Raewyn Bleakley said while more

women have become involved in

the Fire and Emergency workforce

in recent years, only six per

cent of its career firefighters were

women, and 20 per cent of its

volunteers.

However, women made up

41 per cent of management and

support roles.

Norris said being a part of the

fire brigade meant being a part of

another family. It’s an enjoyable

hobby she is passionate about.

“I think it’s important . . . It’s

just about giving back, doing

something you’re passionate

about and you enjoy,” Norris

said.

Bleakley said Fire and Emergency

wanted to ensure the

continuation of attracting and

retaining people from all walks

of life.

“We acknowledge and celebrate

the achievements of all women

within our organisation and

everyone who supports them to

succeed,” she said.

International Women’s Day

world with the aim to inspire

them to achieve their full

potential. The day celebrates the

Running event for

all ages to go ahead

THE BRAD Richards Building

Sea2Sky Challenge is set to go

ahead on Sunday.

The triathlon, duathlon and

trail running event for all ages

and abilities is confirmed for

Sunday at Scarborough

Beach. Event organisers said

they are confident in their ability

to host under the Covid-19

protection framework red light

setting.

This confidence comes from

having delivered the past

two events safely under strict

guidelines and gaining positive

feedback.

Now into it’s seventh year, the

Brad Richards Building Sea2Sky

Challenge is thriving and with

the support of local businessman

Brad Richards it continues to

grow.

Richards lives in Redcliffs

and his building company has

many of their projects in the

harbour-bays area in which the

event is set. He is a recreational

runner, mountain biker and can

be found catching waves at Scarborough,

when he isn’t training

for long distance running races

and the Coast to Coast.

Richards’ daughter Willow has

competed in the event alongside

his nephew and niece. Plus, he

will compete in the trail run

event at the Sea2Sky Challenge

this year for a second time, having

finished 15th overall in 2021.

“It’s great to be able to support

a local event that utilises the

beautiful area we live in with the

challenging hills and stunning

trails,” Richards said.

“My hope is the event continues

to grow year on year,” he

said.

The Sea2Sky Challenge has a

triathlon, duathlon and trail run

options for juniors (five years and

up) through to Masters of 80+

years. It is considered one of the

most beautiful races of the kiwi

circuit and competitors will find

it a unique course.

Event director John Newsom

said they have made changes

such having 15 athletes start

every 30 seconds and standing

2m apart and limiting numbers

as well as a range of other safety

measures.

Memorial futsal

tournament planned

WHILE THERE will be no

public remembrance services for

the anniversary of the mosque

attacks, a Lyttelton group has

organised a memorial futsal

tournament to bring together

local families.

Sow A Lyttel Seed joined

together with the Sakinah

Community Trust, Lyttelton

Recreation Centre and Mainland

Football to have a memorial

futsal tournament next week.

Lyttelton resident Noraini

Milne’s 14-year-old son Sayyad,

was killed at Masjid An-nur

(also known as the Al Noor

Mosque).

Milne and her friends Cathy

Lum-Webb and Crile set up Sow

A Lyttel Seed, a group that gives

grieving families opportunities

for growth, healing and well-being

in and around Lyttelton.

They have organised an

invite-only tournament is to celebrate

young shuhadas (Arabic

term for martyrs).

“It’s to remember our young

shuhadas and to inspire the

youth, sport is a great way of

expressing yourself,” Lum-Webb

said.

While Covid restrictions have

made things more difficult,

the event is still able to go

forward with changes and safety

measures in place.

Mainland Football is supporting

affected by March 15.

“Futsal was a connection that

these kids had so we want to

we can,” Mainland Football

ethnic and diversity inclusion

programme manager Hussain

Hanif said.

The event is also in conjunction

with Unity Week,

co-ordinated by the Sakinah

to 22 to harness and build on

the sense of unity that emerged

in the city and the rest of New

Locals helping locals

– can you help?

AS THE 2021/22 financial year comes to a

close, the Sumner Ferrymead Foundation

is reflecting on the past year.

“It’s been a challenging year, as it

has been for many of those who live in

our community,” Sumner Ferrymead

Foundation treasurer, Barry Geddes said.

“We have had more requests for support

this year from individuals

and community organisations than

we normally receive. But, at the same

time the community has been incredibly

generous with their sponsorship of our

scholarships and awards programme. This

year we have even more scholarships and

awards on offer, and nearly all of them are

sponsored by individuals or businesses

who live in our community,” Geddes said.

Over the last few months, the Sumner

Ferrymead Foundation has completed a

strategic review of the community-based

charity and have identified a number of

interesting opportunities.

“Of course, opportunities bring

challenges,” chairwoman Jane Paterson

said: “And one of them is finding some new

trustees with both general and specific skill

sets. One challenge we face is the need to

build our presence on social media, and

given the increased demand for support,

another challenge is to raise funds for our

grants programme. We also have a couple

of trustees that have signalled that it is

time for them to retire after many years of

service so we will be looking for a treasurer

in the near future too.”

While the Sumner Ferrymead

Foundation is sorry to lose these long

serving trustees, they will retain their

close links with the foundation through

Friends of the Foundation.

“We want to recognise the contribution

of not only past trustees but also our

sponsors and donors,” Julie Cunningham

said.

Julie has been a trustee since

the Sumner Ferrymead Foundation was

established some 25 years ago, and is

taking on the responsibility

for establishing Friends of the Foundation.

“I did wonder if it was time to retire

but as long as I can contribute, I want to

stay involved as we are going through an

exciting growth phase, and we are making

a positive difference to people’s lives.

However, it will be good to have some new

enthusiastic community minded people

join us,” Cunningham said.

Autumn Gardening!

Protect your home and garden

this autumn. As temperatures

drop pests like rats, mice, ants

and flies move indoors for

warmth, food or hibernation.

Slugs and snails or frost can

create problems outside.

There are a MEGA range

of bulb varieties, autumn

is the perfect time to plant

for spring flowering. Bulbs

stay dormant through colder

weather until they are ready

to bloom in spring.

Autumn is a great time to

give your lawn some T.L.C.

This includes weed killing,

fertilizing, fungus control,

dethatching or re-sowing.

Hedging is a great way to

enhance your garden and

add privacy. Autumn is

an ideal time to plant and

establish hedging, and also

Leading volunteer firefighters

through the tough times

Bay Harbour News

continues its series on

our fire chiefs. Reporter

Kristie Boland talks

to Lyttelton Volunteer

Fire Brigade chief Mark

Buckley

FROM CUBS to Scouts to

Venturers to the fire brigade,

Mark Buckley has lived every

stage of his life being a part of a

pack.

The 56-year-old chief fire officer

and Queen’s Service Medal

recipient said he had strong

leaders who played a big part in

his life growing up.

For the past 15 years, he has

been that type of leader himself.

Buckley grew up in Lyttelton

at a time when most families

had lived there for many years,

generation after generation.

Mark is the third generation of

Buckleys living in the port.

His parents worked there all

their lives, his father a butcher

and his mother an accountant.

This meant Buckley spent of

most of his childhood in Lyttelton.

He kept out of trouble with

his involvement in Cubs, Scouts

and Venturers and playing

rugby.

It was through Venturers he

first got involved with the fire

brigade.

“That had a great impact on

my life. I met some really nice

people and had some really good

influences as far as leaders go,”

said Buckley.

In fact, Buckley grew up with

Andrew Norris, the chief fire

officer for the Governors Bay

Volunteer Fire Station. The

pair competed in firefighting

competitions through Venturers

and eventually joined Lyttelton

Volunteer Fire Brigade around

the same time.

Before that, when he finished

his apprenticeship as a

boilermaker welder. Buckley

spent a couple of years living in

Australia.

“Back then, going to Australia

was like going on your big OE,”

said Buckley.

When he returned to Lyttelton

in 1986, at 21, Buckley joined the

Lyttelton Volunteer Fire Brigade.

While still volunteering at the

brigade, he worked as a transport

manager at Stark Brothers.

He worked there up until six

years ago when he became the

owner of Ocean Spray Transport

Ltd.

Mark is married to Belinda

who has been his support for the

past 25 years.

They have two sons at home,

Logan, 21, who works for Air

New Zealand and Connor, 18,

who has just started a degree in

University.

Last year, Connor joined the

fire brigade.

“I thought what I’ve been

through over the last 12 or 13

years in particular would have

put him off but he seems to be

very driven and dedicated to

becoming a firefighter so good

on him,” said Buckley.

Buckley has been a part of the

brigade for 35 years now, the

last 13 years of that have had it’s

challenges.

“The earthquakes brought the

best of our people to the surface,”

said Buckley about his crew.

“We spent two and a half

weeks living, eating, breathing,

sleeping on station over that period.

I think we attended to 650

calls from the community, we

basically ran 24/7,” he said.

Just as they were getting on

with life after the earthquakes,

the brigade took another hit.

The Lyttelton Volunteer Fire

Brigade lost its station officer

Brad Fletcher in 2014, when the

lift he was working on at the port

toppled over.

The brigade crew was first on

the scene to the incident.

“Turning up to not only one of

your good friends but one of the

members of the brigade, that was

a very tough time,” said Buckley.

Not long after that there were

two significant ship fires, one

after the other.

“That also took a strain on the

brigade as far as the commitment

to ship firefighting. All this happened

within about 12 months of

each other,” said Buckley.

On coping with the tragedies

he has faced, Buckley said: “I

don’t know that you can put it

into words. It’s really a matter of

years of dealing with that type of

thing and the training that has

gone on.”

“I couldn’t stand there and do

it all myself, it’s all very well I’m

the chief but in all honesty, if I

didn’t have the highly driven,

highly trained, highly motivated

people in the brigade then I

wouldn’t be able to do what I do,”

Buckley said.

Buckley’s efforts have not gone

unnoticed.

In 2019, he was awarded a

Queen’s Service Medal for services

Zealand and the community.

“I took that as a sign that people

do realise what we do in the

brigade,” said Buckley.

And that appreciation goes

both ways.

Buckley said he loves the people

in his community and that’s

why he has been a part of the fire

service for so long.

“It’s doing the best for your

community and it’s the camaraderie

within the fire brigade and

the people that you get to meet.”

He said the brigade is a very

tight group.

“They’re people who are very

driven and look after each other,

very professional,” he said.

Next year the Lyttelton

Volunteer Fire Brigade will

celebrate its 150th jubilee which

Buckley hopes to be a big affair.

Treasures from the past:

The Harbour Light Theatre

THE ICONIC Harbour Light

Cinema, 24 London St, with

its twin towers in Spanish

Mission style and its art nouveau

detailing, dominated Lyttelton’s

main street from the day it was

completed.

Designed by J S and M J

Guthrie, built in 1916 and

officially opened in March 1917,

it became a central focus for

entertainment in the port town.

Opening night was an eagerly

anticipated and well attended

event with entertainment by the

Lyttelton Marine Band, speeches,

and an intriguing selection of

motion pictures:

“. . . the first picture being

one of Salisbury’s Wild Life

pictures depicting wild birds and

animals in their natural state. A

humorous study When in Rome

also pleased the audience, and

the popular film favourite, Clara

Kimball Young, appeared in The

Deep Purple, a drama of great

heart interest.”

SUNCH19170321.2.92

Initially designed with a 550

seat capacity for viewing motion

pictures screened by the Lyttelton

Picture Company, in 1920 a

stage area was developed which

provided entertainment companies

with a dedicated venue in

Lyttelton.

Shows included theatrical

performances, dance and song

troupes, illusionists, hypnotists,

vaudeville acts, comedians,

public talks; all most welcomed

by local residents.

In 1920 a successful record-breaking

attempt to play

the piano continuously for 100

hours was completed at midnight,

by firm-fingered Albert

Steele of Auckland.

In 1925 a landslip in the

clay bank behind the building

The

Harbour

Light

Cinema

caused significant damage to the

relatively new stage area, though

thankfully not to the movie theatre,

which was able to continue

operating until repair to the

stage was completed.

‘Talkies’ arrived at the Harbour

Light in 1930 and attendance

at the cinema continued to

be a popular local pastime. The

Kreamy Milk Bar, opened in

1935, was a cool place for young

lads and lasses to pass the interval

during performances.

In the 1960s and 1970s,

ownership and usage changed

hands a number of times. In

1965 Masters’ Enterprises

bought the building and ran the

cinema, in 1970, new owner Leo

Quinlivan undertook a major

refurbishment and instead ran it

as a theatre venue. In 1980 film

librarian Frederick E Read was

the last to operate the place as

a cinema, until 1983 when the

building was again sold. Then

owner Peter Harris carried out

extensive structural changes and

opened a restaurant, complete

with stage and a squash court

out the back.

Last owners, Tom Jones and

Helen Hobson took on the grand

old building in 1988 and ran it

as a successful and much loved

nightclub and performance /

event venue. Patrons stepped

through the front doors and

were welcomed into the rather

grand lobby complete with glamorous

sweeping staircases, then

to be ushered into the cave-like

inner sanctum to take part in a

wide variety of events.

It was also Tom and Helen’s

home, until the earthquakes

caused extensive damage to the

building and it underwent a

controlled demolition in April

2011. They sold the empty site in

2021.

Every Friday-Sunday for the

By artists Karen Greenslade,

Carolyn Currie and Vic Mangan.

Through its responses to the

physical landscape and natural

elements of the Banks Peninsula,

Seeing the Lines reframes

the region’s native Taonga by

foregrounding it in the local

environment and the art of this

exhibition. In this group show at

Stoddart Cottage Gallery, Karen

Greenslade, Carolyn Currie and

Vic Mangan seek to counter

plant blindness, when plants

exist as a backdrop to our lives

and art prioritises the human

figure. The artists have moved

their collaborative art practices

away from purely decorative floral

vistas, to an engagement with

the less obviously aesthetically

engaging endemic plants of the

place inhabited, reflecting the

contemporary shift in concerns

towards ecology and the local

Helping the kids buy their first home

THE AVERAGE asking price in

all regions across the country has

reached record heights, making it a

tough and competitive landscape for

first home buyers, who will now need

a deposit of $187,000 for the national

average asking price and a whopping

$250,00 for the Auckland average

asking price.

So, what can you do to

help your kids finance their future?

How it usually works

The most common case of parents

stepping in is where the kids have 10

per cent or 15 per cent of a deposit

saved and Mum and Dad are topping

that up to get them to 20 per cent.

There are several ways you can go

about leveraging the equity in your

own assets to provide the shortfall the

kids need.

A good number of young

savers have been adding more

to their KiwiSaver fund this

year, so it’s accrued very well and is a

great starting point for a deposit.

Know what you’re letting

yourself in for

If you are well resourced, you as

parents can provide a guarantee on

the whole loan, but this is a big step,

and unusual, as most of you will want

your children to be responsible for the

mortgage.

Be clear about the responsibility you

are prepared to shoulder, and bear in

mind the children still have to prove

they can service the loan, and with

increasingly stringent lending criteria,

without a good deposit, securing

finance could be tricky.

Remember, it can just be a temporary

solution to help them get a head

start with a foot on the property ladder,

which is becoming increasingly

difficult without parental help.

This can be a temporary

arrangement, with them repaying

the money when they sell the house,

ensuring they leave you with a decent

retirement nest

egg.

Put everything in writing

Document everything you agree on

to avoid getting in a tangle, including

what happens to the money if your

child and their partner break up.

If it is going to be a gift

of money with no strings

attached, viewed as an early inheritance,

then make this clear to the

child and the rest of the family.

Do you expect the money to be

repaid? If so, consider having the legal

document state it does not have to be

repaid until the property is sold – it

doesn’t bear interest, it comes behind

the mortgage.
