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
with Lyttelton businesses,
community groups and
individuals to reduce their
carbon footprint.
Tulett started her work
last week with Lyttelton
SuperValue owner Rob de
Thier, which was the first
supermarket in New Zealand
to remove plastic bags from
checkouts.
De Thier said he found
the meeting with Tulett very
informative.
“They’ll certainly enlighten
us, the meetings, especially
with educating the public, that
will help,” he said.
De Thier is also urging
customers to be nice in these
trying Covid times (see page

with a pie when a customer
was asked to put on a mask.

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.

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.

In Brief
PATHWAY WORK
People travelling between
Redcliffs and Sumner may
encounter some road works
over the coming weeks as work
ramps up on the missing section
of the Coastal Pathway. Two
lanes of traffic will be maintained
on Main Rd while the piling
work is done but some temporary
traffic management may be in
place.
PEDESTRIAN SAFETY
The city council is making
safety improvements to
London St and Oxford St in
Lyttelton to make it safer and
more accessible for pedestrians in
the town centre and for Lyttelton
School. The improvements
include a new pedestrian
crossing outside of SuperValue,
two new pedestrian crossings
at the Canterbury/London
Sts intersection, re-positioned
pedestrian crossing on Sumner
Rd to allow for new kerb buildouts
and new kerb build-outs at
the intersection of Sumner Rd and
Oxford St.

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

meeting with Tulett very in-

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.

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.

“The local food movement in
Quebec is huge, every village
has a local family farmer that’s
doing small scale organic

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

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
connects women around the
world with the aim to inspire
them to achieve their full
potential. The day celebrates the
collective power of women past,
present and future on March 8

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
the event through funding
they got from New Zealand
Cricket to support the families
affected by March 15.
“Futsal was a connection that
these kids had so we want to
support the families in any way
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
Community Trust.
Unity Week will be held in
Christchurch from March 15
to 22 to harness and build on
the sense of unity that emerged
in the city and the rest of New
Zealand after the mosque
attacks.

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
prune preexisting hedges.

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.

Exibition – Seeing the Lines –

Every Friday-Sunday for the
month of March, 10am-4pm.
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
environment.

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.
