Buyers race to snap up
beachside apartments
• By Anne Gibson
THE DEMAND for planned
apartments in New Brighton,
even though none has a carpark
or garage, has taken developers
by surprise.
The allure of the as-yet-unbuilt
block of 37 units at 180-183
Marine Pde and 19 Keppel St was
so strong that 344 offers were
made within a day of their going
on sale.
All 37 units were pre-sold in
contracts struck last week.
Matthew
Horncastle,
managing
director and
co-founder
of Williams
Corporation,
said buyer
Matthew
Horncastle
appetite was
so strong
when presales
opened
that day many buyers had to be
turned away.
“Within 24 hours of releasing
these 37 townhouses, we received
a total of 344 conditional contracts
and 231 unconditional
contracts, all from 81 buyers.
This makes this our most successful
development release to
date,” Horncastle said.
One-bedroom units started
at $449,000 and two bedrooms
from $629,000. All up, 29 units

are one-bedroom and only eight
are two-bedroom.
Eight buildings are planned.
Those facing the street are threelevel.
Some units are just 55sq m
but others are a little over 90sq m.
Communal outdoor space is
planned for a central area of the
intense housing project.

Leaking water tops complaints
• By Fiona Ellis
COMPLAINTS OF leaking
water supplies leapt by more than
54 per cent in the most recent
report of issues impacting the
Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board area.
A ticket report for the board’s
meeting this week has revealed
a breakdown of issues that
residents contacted the city
council about between January 1
and January 31.
The report shows leaking water
supplies to be the most common
complaint, with 307 tickets – or
jobs – undertaken for this.
Water leaks were also the
top complaint in December,
although a comparatively smaller
199 tickets were issued.
The second and third most
widespread issues in the most
recent report were uncollected
bins and damaged bins,
with 204 and 169 tickets
respectively.
These were also the second
and third most common issues
in December, although instances
were fewer, with 177 uncollected
bins and 122 damaged bins
reported.
A total of 1398 tickets were
completed in January.
However, at the conclusion of
the report, 615 tickets were still
open, or not completed.
Incidents fell in a range of
categories, including transport,
ON THE RISE: Already a top issue in the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board
area, reports of leaking water supplies have increased.​
property information, three
waters council assets, and
parks.
Phone, email and walk-in
were the most common ways to
contact the council, with 1087
people using these methods.
The city council website was
used by 540 people to report
their issues, while 386 did so
using Snap Send Solve.
Number of tickets (issues)
reported in the Fendalton-
Waimairi-Harewood
Community Board area

In Brief
GARDEN AWARDS MAY BE
HAND-DELIVERED
The Fendalton-Waimairi
Harewood Community Board
is considering how it will
deliver Garden Pride Awards
under the Covid-19 protection
framework. At a meeting on
Monday, the board was advised
most community boards in the
city have decided to post out the
certificates, as a ceremony would
likely exceed gathering limits.
Instead, the possibility of trophies
to be hand-delivered by board
members will be looked into.
DUDLEY CREEK
WATERWAY UPGRADE
The city council is warning
of increased noise, dust and
vibrations as it undertakes work
along Scotston Ave to upgrade
a section of the Dudley Creek
waterway lining. Work by
contractor City Care Ltd began
last week and will continue until
late May.

Huge demand for property
• From page 1
“We love the demand for
our homes and we can’t wait
to continue to provide new
and affordable housing. Keep
your eyes peeled for more
developments like this coming
soon,” Horncastle told buyers
who missed out this week.
So how did Williams decide
who could buy and who couldn’t?
Horncastle said it was a ranking
system: Company directors got
first priority, then staff.
“Directors and staff purchased
around five,” he said.
Repeat buyers making unconditional
offers were ranked
third, he said, followed by
repeat buyers with conditional
contracts.
They might need to get finance
approved or even sell another
property to buy.
Then came conditional buyers
who had not bought from Williams
before.
Conditional new buyers were
ranked by those who sought to
do due diligence and those who
didn’t need to.
Williams pitched the small
units to landlords and firsthome
buyers, saying its project
was within walking distance
of the relatively new He Puna
Taimoana hot pools and many
other amenities.
Fisher & Paykel ovens, hobs
and dishwashers are offered with
Haier fridge/freezers and LG

microwaves.
Landlords were one target of
the sales campaign.
A Harcourts rent appraisal
on the apartments assesses
one-bedroom unfurnished units
could be rented for up to $465/
week and two bedrooms for up
to $540/week.
Williams says it strips soil
down on its sites and replaces
that with compacted gravel.
An engineered concrete slab is
poured on top of that containing
steel and polystyrene pods for
strength.
Laminated veneer lumber
frames are erected, insulation is
Fletcher’s Pink Batts fibreglass
and walls have solid air barriers
as stipulated by the building
code.
Williams is New Zealand’s
busiest privately owned nonfranchised
builder.
The company was named by
BCI Central as second only to
the franchised national housebuilder
G.J. Gardner.
Williams built 761 homes in
the year to October 2021 for
$107 million, selling houses for
what might seem like an unbelievably
low average $141,164.
That low price doesn’t include
the land.
In 2019, Williams Corporation
Capital was founded and now
has $145m funds of which
around $130m is drawn.
Qualifying wholesale investors
are drawn to a 10 per cent
guaranteed return.
Williams is soon planning
to launch a property-owning
syndicate and raise millions
more from investors.

Covid-19

kerbside
collection
• By Fiona Ellis
KERBSIDE BIN collection is
already an issue in the Nor’West
News area, but the city council is
warning this may get worse.
City council
resource recovery
manager Ross Trotter
said the service
is being affected
by staff shortages
caused by rising
Covid-19 case
numbers.
Ross
Trotter
“Staff shortages are starting to
impact on services such as bin
swaps and repairs,’’ Trotter said.
Damaged and uncollected bins
are consistently among the top
issues people contact the city
council about, as shown in ticket
reports for both the Papanui-
Innes and Fendalton-Waimairi-
Harewood community boards.
“If your bin is not full and you
can hold off until the next collection
cycle without having to
overload it, please don’t put your
bin out,” Trotter said.
Collection hours could be
altered in future, he said.
“We will advise you if we move
to this situation.”

Landing
opens
up river
A CEREMONY and community
picnic was held to mark the
official opening of a new riverside
landing on Saturday.
Dallington Landing next to
Gayhurst Rd features two shelters,
public toilets, a koru-shaped
pathway, picnic tables, and
access to the Avon River. Some
vegetation planting at the landing
will be finished in April-May.
City council
head of parks
Andrew
Rutledge said the
completion of
the project in the
regeneration area
will draw more
Andrew
Rutledge
visitors to the area
and encourage
people to explore
the 602ha Ōtākaro Avon River
Corridor.
“Geographically, the Dallington
Landing is situated near the
centre of the corridor, and
we envisage it becoming an
important feature of the City to
Sea Pathway that will run from
Barbadoes St to New Brighton,”
he said.
The landing is the second
project funded by the
Christchurch Earthquake
Appeal Trust to be completed
this month.
Kindness inspires volunteer
THE SUPPORT he received
when he unexpectedly became
homeless after the September
4, 2010, earthquake sparked
Manish Pandey’s interest in
volunteering.
Pandey, who recently
moved to Northcote, received
a community service award
from the city council last
year following a decade of
volunteering in the Riccarton
area.
Now 34, Pandey moved to
New Zealand from India in
2008 as a student to pursue
a career in information and
communication technologies.
“Way back in 2010, the house I
was renting was badly damaged
in the earthquakes, leaving
me and my friends suddenly
homeless,” Pandey said.
“When a good Samaritan – a
complete stranger – invited us
to stay at their home for almost
a week without accepting
anything in return for their
generosity, I decided it was
time for me to give back to my
community.”
Being recognised with
the award for his volunteer
work came completely out of
the blue for Pandey. But this
year, he is helping promote
the awards, which opened for
nominations on Friday.
Pandey wears many different
hats in the community, but
never expected anything in
return for his work.
SERVE: Manish Pandey says it is satisfying to help people in the community.
PHOTO: NEWSLINE
He joined the Riccarton
Community Patrol in November
2011 and the Christchurch
Multicultural Council in
January 2012.
He never looked back and
is now a justice of the peace,
White Ribbon ambassador,
multilingual facilitator
for the Ministry of Ethnic
Communities and national coordinator
for Bihar Jharkhand
Sabha Australia and New
Zealand, which endeavours to
raise money to help people in
Bihar, India.
Helping the community is
satisfying, he said. “My father
always said the essence of life is
to do good for communities and
serve others, so I think serving
the community is in my blood.
“At the end of the day, I
want to see my kids growing
up in a society where we value
humanity and help each other
without any expectation of a
return.
Thursday March 17 2022
“I have realised that
often when individuals are
overwhelmed in the face of
life’s big challenges, it is the
community that comes to the
rescue in a spirit of resilience
and compassion.”

Artist Bill Sutton’s house
gets national recognition
THE HOUSE and garden
that once belonged to
celebrated Christchurch
artist Bill Sutton have been
nationally recognised for
their heritage value.
Heritage New Zealand
Pouhere Taonga has listed
Bill Sutton House and
Garden, at 20 Templar St,
Richmond, as a Category
1 property on the New
Zealand Heritage List.
It is the first listed artist’s
home in Christchurch.
Sutton, who was
renowned for his large abstract
landscapes, lived in
the house from 1963 until
he died in 2000.
The house was designed
by his friend and colleague
at the Canterbury College
School of Art, Tom Taylor,
who also designed houses
for author Margaret Mahy
and artist Doris Lusk.
After Sutton’s death in
2000, the property was sold
to former Christchurch
Art Gallery curator Neil
Roberts.
Roberts lobbied to have
the city council place a
protective conservation
covenant on the property,
which he intended to
eventually gift to the
city.
However, after the
earthquakes the property
was red-zoned because of
the extent of the damage to
the surrounding land.
The council now owns
the property but leases it to
Sutton Heritage House and
Garden Charitable Trust,
which runs it as an artistin-residence
facility and
opens it to the public.
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight
for farm and rural residents around the
Canterbury region, however now days urban
residents also enjoy the same excellent
customer service for which RDP is known for
in rural communities, through their home
heating diesel.
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery
service to the lower South Island’s main urban
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin
and Invercargill a number of years ago.
Customer demand has continued to increase
year upon year, and RDP has responded
with specialised improvements to its delivery
equipment.
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This
means they have the latest communication
and GPS tracking technology on board, so
the operations team always know where they
are and how far away they are from their next
delivery stop.
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come
equipped with a specially-designed hose,
through which the diesel is pumped from
the truck into house tanks. The length of
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks
without having to enter the property, avoiding
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer
you’re offered discounted pricing and can
become eligible for value-added benefits.
For all enquiries please phone
0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at

HOME & HEATING
Get the balance
right this winter
The importance
of air quality
Enviro Master has been helping
Cantabrians get the balance right when it
comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or
air conditioning system for their home or
office since 2002.
Their team of expert sales people, qualified
electricians, heating and refrigeration
engineers, help to supply and install
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,
and because they have no affiliation with any
one brand, you can be assured their advice
on the benefits and differences between each
product is unbiased.
They will recommend the most energyefficient
and cost-effective system for your
individual situation, and will have you
regulating the heat in your home or office in
no time.
Nowadays, customers are often wanting
whole home solutions to be able to maintain
even temperatures throughout the home
both in Winter and Summer. This can be
achieved by using ducted systems or multi
systems and Enviro Master are experts in
designing, installing and commissioning
these systems.
Help is currently available with a
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi
Homes initiative and is available to Home
owner/occupiers with a Community
Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or
who live in a low-income area as determined
by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand
Deprivation Index.
The applicant’s home must also have been
built before 2008, have insulation up to code
(insulation subsidies also available) and have
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.
With new regulations now in place for
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,
it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new
standards.
Inadequate heating and ventilation can
lead to mould growth and dampness in your
property, leading to costlier maintenance
and an unhealthy living environment.
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat
output and lower running costs, like a heat
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the
area effectively. Enviro Master are well
experienced with the Tenancy Services
software to ensure that you are meeting your
requirements.
To ensure you choose the right system
for your home or business, one of Enviro
Master’s experts will visit to assess your
individual situation, offer advice and
answer any questions you may have. This
consultation is at no cost to the customer
and is always provided before a heat pump is
installed.
Anyone wondering about their eligibility
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to
get in touch for details and help with the
application process. To find out more, call
Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit
their website www.enviromaster.co.nz
The quality of the air we breathe affects
our health and ability to perform. We
breathe in and out approximately 20,000
litres of air every day. It is therefore very
important to ensure good air quality
indoors through adequate ventilation.
Ventilation is the process of air exchange to
provide the necessary air quality that meets
the needs of the occupants for clean, fresh
air. Low oxygen with high carbon dioxide
causes stuffiness in the room and occupants
can feel drowsy. Invisible harmful
substances like a high content of dust and
tobacco smoke are harmful and can cause
various diseases. Even bad smells can cause
discomfort or irritate the nervous system.
In summer, it’s easy to open windows
for cross ventilation, however as winter
approaches, we start to shut up out houses
to trap in the heat and as a result, air quality
can decline.
Ventilation includes both
the exchange of air to the
outside as well as circulation
of air within the building. It
is one of the most important
factors for maintaining
acceptable indoor air quality
in buildings. Filtered air
supply for summer and
filtered and warmed air
in winter creates a healthy
environment in which to
live and work. In cases
with poor or insufficient
air intake from outside, the oxygen content
decreases, humidity and dustiness levels
increase. If exhaust ventilation is not
provided or it is not effective, polluted air,
smells, humidity and harmful substances
are not removed.
To ensure the quality of your air, contact
the experts. Smooth-Air Products can
calculate the required air exchange for your
building requirement. Smooth-Air offers
a wide range of ventilation equipment,
from air vents to ducting for fans, for both
the commercial and domestic markets.
They have an extensive range of fans and
ventilation components in-store but they
can also provide innovative solutions
tailored to differing requirements.

you.
