Miniatures honour fallen soldiers<br />

MILITARY modelling is not<br />
the same as playing with toys.<br />
In the world of miniature<br />
plastic military modelling, it’s<br />
about remembering and not in<br />
any way about glorifying war,<br />
says Avonside resident and<br />
model-maker Reverend Jeff<br />
Cotton.<br />
“It tells a story. The story is remembrance<br />
of people we never<br />
knew,” he said.<br />
Four of his large dioramas<br />
will be on display at the World<br />
Wars in Miniature memorabilia<br />
show at St Nicholas Church on<br />
Anzac Day.<br />
His pieces are not exact<br />
replicas – they are made in<br />
memory of New Zealand’s war<br />
veterans and are not designed to<br />
be perfect.<br />
“They serve to help keep these<br />
soldiers’ memories alive as we<br />
remember their sacrifices and<br />
experiences that were made for<br />
our freedom. “It’s not about<br />
any kind of victory or battles,”<br />
said Cotton, who is vicar of St<br />
Nicholas Church Barrington<br />
and chaplain at St George’s<br />
Hospital.<br />

Plan hatched to improve breeding<br />
chances of NZ’s smallest bird<br />
NEW ZEALAND’S<br />
smallest bird is getting new<br />
accommodation on Banks<br />
Peninsula in a bid to improve its<br />
chances of breeding successfully.<br />
Titipounamu/rifleman are<br />
rarely seen on the peninsula<br />
because they prefer to take cover<br />
in mature forest and mānuka/<br />
kānuka scrub, but a plan has<br />
been hatched to help boost their<br />
numbers in the area.<br />
Titipounamu (Acanthisitta<br />
chloris) is native to New Zealand.<br />
The males weigh just six grams<br />
and females weigh seven grams.<br />
They are one of only two species<br />
left of the New Zealand wren<br />
family.<br />
The city council, Refuge Ecology<br />
and the Banks Peninsula<br />
Conservation Trust have been<br />
installing predator-proof nesting<br />
boxes for the birds in suitable<br />
habitat.<br />
The nest boxes provide a safe<br />
nesting space in the absence of<br />
mature trees.<br />
Recent sightings of titipounamu<br />
in Aylmers Valley, above<br />
Akaroa, have led to the installation<br />
of nest boxes there.<br />
Observations of titipounamu<br />
have also been recorded in<br />
Robinsons Bay, Panama Reserve,<br />
Hinewai and Le Bons Bay.<br />
“We are seeking sightings<br />
of titipounamu from local<br />
residents and visitors to Banks<br />
Peninsula so that we can better<br />
understand their distribution,”<br />
said city council ranger Hannah<br />
Murdoch, who is leading the<br />
project.<br />
“If you have spotted titipounamu<br />
please record the sighting<br />
on iNaturalist or email alison.<br />
evans@ccc.govt.nz with the<br />
details of where you saw the bird<br />
and when. If you can supply GPS<br />
co-ordinates that will greatly<br />
assist us.<br />
“You are most likely to see<br />
titipounamu flitting up and<br />
down trees, feeding on insects<br />
and spiders. They are distinctive<br />
from other birds, due to their<br />
small size and tiny tail.’’<br />
The male has an olive green<br />
colour on its back, while the<br />
female is slightly different in<br />
colour with yellow and dark<br />
speckles on its back.<br />
They are easily mistaken for<br />
riroriro/grey warblers or tauhou/<br />
silvereyes, although these birds<br />
have longer tail feathers and different<br />
colours than titipounamu.<br />
The call of titipounamu is highpitched<br />
and reaches a frequency<br />
that is inaudible to some people.<br />
Murdoch said the titipounamu<br />

population will be closely<br />
monitored and the team plans<br />
to work in collaboration with<br />
Pest Free Banks Peninsula to<br />
eliminate predators that might<br />
threaten the tiny birds’ chances<br />
of survival.<br />
“Titipounamu are threatened<br />
by predation from introduced<br />
mammals like rats and stoats so<br />
we’re hoping to get volunteers<br />
involved in trapping efforts.<br />
People wanting to help protect<br />
native wildlife by trapping in<br />
their own backyard can borrow<br />
traps from either the Akaroa<br />
Trap Library or the Little River<br />
Trap Library,’’ she said.<br />

ANZAC DAY<br />
MONDAY APRIL 25, <strong>2022</strong><br />
Remembering our Anzacs<br />
“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of<br />
the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces<br />
of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last <strong>Post</strong><br />
sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep<br />
solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes<br />
to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its<br />
popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service<br />
continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of<br />
remembrance.”<br />

Every year Anzac Day is observed on <strong>April</strong> 25 by communities<br />
throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have<br />
served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the<br />
acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first<br />
used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known<br />
as ‘the Anzacs’.<br />
Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies –<br />
one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli<br />
by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later<br />
in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally<br />
begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel<br />
followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans,<br />
proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local<br />
cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service<br />
with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last <strong>Post</strong><br />
played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share<br />
memories and catch up with friends and neighbours.<br />
Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the<br />
anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the<br />
Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New<br />
Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and<br />
women who perished in the Great War. In 19<strong>21</strong>, Anzac Day became<br />
an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday<br />
where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day.<br />
Symbol of remembrance<br />
The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope<br />
all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice<br />
Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn<br />
on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on <strong>April</strong> 24 in 1922,<br />
where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped<br />
relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version<br />
of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned<br />
Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac<br />
Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local<br />
communities.<br />
‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:<br />
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.<br />
At the going down of the sun and in the morning<br />
We will remember them.’<br />

ON DISPLAY: Jeff Cotton has created four large dioramas showing scenes from both World War 1 and 2 to scale for the World Wars in Miniature show.<br />

Model-maker’s family connection to wars<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Cotton: “We do remember<br />
the lives of many people, some<br />
of them very young, who went<br />
overseas and gave their life in<br />
circumstances that they really<br />
didn’t have any idea about<br />
what they were ever going to<br />
get themselves into or out of,<br />
especially in World War 1 and<br />
later in World War 2.”<br />
Cotton’s dioramas cover the<br />
Battle of the Somme during<br />
World War 1 and New Zealand’s<br />
campaigns in the Solomon<br />
Islands, North Africa and France<br />
during World War 2.<br />
The World War 1 battle he has<br />
recreated depicts the Battle of<br />
Bapaume in France, one of the<br />
New Zealand Division’s final<br />
offensives of the war from August<br />
to September 1918.<br />
It is especially poignant for<br />
Cotton as it was where his<br />
grandfather, William Cotton,<br />
fought and was wounded.<br />
It is also a site that he has<br />
visited, describing the experience<br />
as very moving.<br />
His father, Jack Cotton, served<br />
in both the Italian and Pacific<br />
campaigns during World War 2,<br />
finishing up in Japan at the war’s<br />
end.<br />
He said plastic modelling is a<br />
perfect way for new a generation<br />
of New Zealanders to remember<br />
and understand their sacrifices.<br />
“Plastic figures can go some of<br />
the distance to explaining what<br />
the world of the soldiers was like.<br />
“You can begin picturing their<br />
world and if the diorama is large<br />
enough you can see what they<br />
faced and some of the hurdles in<br />
front of them.”<br />
He said it is also about<br />
remembering the people who<br />
never returned on both sides.<br />
“Many on both sides had no<br />
idea what they were going into,<br />
many didn’t come back, and for<br />
those who did came home, they<br />
carried with them the trauma<br />
of what they experienced for the<br />
rest of their lives.”<br />
Cotton has been Anglican<br />
minister for 17 years. He joined<br />
the church after <strong>21</strong> years as a<br />
hairdresser in Christchurch.<br />
Cotton’s collection of<br />
soldiers, vehicles and buildings<br />
from both the European and<br />
Pacific war campaigns has grown<br />
over the years. He enjoys making<br />
the models and painting the<br />
displays.<br />
He started collecting military<br />
models after hearing conversations<br />
between his father and<br />
grandfather about the war when<br />
he was young.<br />
He took a break from the<br />
hobby later in life to pursue<br />
sports and then a career, but<br />
rediscovered his passion for<br />
military modelling about eight<br />
years ago.<br />
“It restarted when my wife, Jo,<br />
suggested I get a hobby to help<br />
reduce stress. Now it’s grown to a<br />
point where I need more space at<br />
my home in Avonside.”<br />
He said he enjoys making the<br />
models, putting the highly detailed<br />
kit-sets together, painting<br />
and photographing them, and<br />
sharing his work online.<br />
“When I display them on<br />
Anzac Day it’s for a very different<br />
story.<br />
“What I’m trying to get across<br />
to the generations of today is that<br />
those wars are becoming more<br />
distant as life goes on, but we<br />
said we would never forget those<br />
people – lest we forget.’’<br />

to your Kiwi burger<br />
Kylee Newton<br />
has a soft spot<br />

The Britishbased<br />
Kiwi<br />
explains how<br />
to pickle<br />
beetroot so<br />
you can make<br />
the ultimate<br />
Kiwi burger,<br />
perfect for<br />
autumn<br />
Kiwi burger<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
400g minced beef at room temperature<br />
4 Tbsp rapeseed (canola) or sunflower<br />
oil<br />
1 large red onion, finely sliced into discs<br />
or semi-circles<br />
4 thin slices of Emmental, Gouda<br />
or Jarlsberg cheese<br />
4 eggs<br />
4 burger buns<br />
4 Tbsp tomato sauce or tomato chutney<br />
4 Tbsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard<br />
12 large tomatoes, sliced<br />
8-12 slices of pickled beetroot (see below)<br />
4 large iceberg or round lettuce leaves<br />
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper<br />

EDWARDS/ODT<br />
then gently squash the patties down with<br />
a fish slice to the diameter of your burger<br />
buns and cook for a further 10 minutes.<br />
Flip the patties, season again, and place<br />
a slice of cheese on top of each patty so<br />
it gently hugs when melted. Cook for 1<br />
minute for medium rare, or 2 minutes for<br />
medium. Remove the patties and set aside<br />
to rest while you cook the next batch.<br />
For the fried eggs<br />
Heat the remaining oil or butter in a<br />
non-stick frying pan over a medium-high<br />
heat. Crack in the eggs and as soon as you<br />
hear them start to sizzle cover with a lid.<br />
Fry for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat<br />
and leave covered for a further 30 seconds.<br />
Depending on how runny you like your<br />
egg, you can cook them for longer.<br />
When the patties are cooked, gently toast<br />
the burger buns in the same pan, pressing<br />
the sliced sides into the pan for 20-30<br />
seconds.<br />

RD Petroleum<br />
this winter<br />
RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight<br />
for farm and rural residents around the<br />
Canterbury region, however now days urban<br />
residents also enjoy the same excellent<br />
customer service for which RDP is known for<br />
in rural communities, through their home<br />
heating diesel.<br />
RDP began its home heating diesel delivery<br />
service to the lower South Island’s main urban<br />
centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin<br />
and Invercargill a number of years ago.<br />
Customer demand has continued to increase<br />
year upon year, and RDP has responded<br />
with specialised improvements to its delivery<br />
equipment.<br />
The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating<br />
diesel in each urban centre are drawn from<br />
the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This<br />
means they have the latest communication<br />
and GPS tracking technology on board, so<br />
the operations team always know where they<br />
are and how far away they are from their next<br />
delivery stop.<br />
RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come<br />
equipped with a specially-designed hose,<br />
through which the diesel is pumped from<br />
the truck into house tanks. The length of<br />
the hose allows the trucks to access tanks<br />
without having to enter the property, avoiding<br />
damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to<br />
go if you require diesel conveniently delivered<br />
to your home and as a loyal RDP customer<br />
you’re offered discounted pricing and can<br />
become eligible for value-added benefits.<br />
For all enquiries please phone<br />
0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at<br />
https://www.rdp.co.nz/home-heating or<br />
signup at apply.rdp.co.nz/home-heating<br />
Divide the meat into 4 equal amounts<br />
and roll each into a ball. Sandwich each<br />
ball between 2 pieces of baking paper,<br />
and using a rolling pin, roll them out into<br />
patties about 1cm smaller in diameter than<br />
your burger buns. Set aside.<br />
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large<br />
frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add<br />
the onions and fry for 5-6 minutes, until<br />
soft and a little charred. Remove from the<br />
pan and set aside.<br />
Keeping a medium-high heat, add the<br />
patties, two at a time. Generously season<br />
with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds,<br />
To stack your burgers<br />
Spread tomato sauce on the bottom<br />
buns and mustard on the tops. Place each<br />
cheese-coated patty on a bottom bun, then<br />
top with the fried egg, 1-3 slices of tomato,<br />
2-3 slices of pickled beetroot, lettuce and<br />
lastly some of the fried onions, before<br />
finishing with the bun tops.<br />
Note: Some of us say it’s not a Kiwi<br />
burger without a pineapple ring. For this<br />
sweeter version, char some pineapple slices<br />
in a griddle pan or under the grill and add<br />
to the stack in place of the tomato.<br />
Pickled beetroot<br />
Makes a 750ml jar<br />
Ingredients<br />
450g-500g beetroot, peeled, thinly<br />
sliced/diced (blanched in boiling water)<br />
or grated<br />
450ml (scant 2 cups) white wine vinegar<br />
100ml (1/3 cup) filtered water<br />
50g (1/5 cup) white sugar<br />
1 tsp sea salt<br />
1 tsp black peppercorns<br />
2 bay leaves<br />
8 cloves, gently toasted<br />
3 green cardamom pods, gently smashed<br />
2-3 pared strips of lemon zest<br />
Directions<br />
Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and<br />
spices in a large, non-reactive pan, keeping<br />
any fresh herbs or lemon zest to one side<br />
until the jarring stage. Place over a medium<br />
heat, stirring until the sugar and salt<br />
dissolve and the spices infuse. Bring to the<br />
boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then allow<br />
the brine to cool slightly.<br />
Pack your prepped beetroots into<br />
appropriately sized, clean, cool jars. Try<br />
to fit in as much as possible without<br />
squashing or forcing too tightly, leaving a<br />
gap of about 1cm from the top rim.<br />
Pour the brine over the beetroot.<br />
Gently tap out any trapped bubbles, or<br />
use a chopstick to manoeuvre the bubbles<br />
out, making sure you get out as many as<br />
you can (this trapped air can encourage<br />
fermentation). Top up with brine again<br />
so the produce is entirely covered, up to<br />
23mm from the very top, and seal with a<br />
sterilised dry lid.<br />
The preserved beetroot will need to<br />
be stored unopened in a cool, dark place<br />
for about 34 weeks before opening. Once<br />
opened, store in the fridge for greater<br />
longevity.

HOME & HEATING<br />
Get the balance<br />
right this winter<br />
Enviro Master has been helping<br />
Cantabrians get the balance right when it<br />
comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or<br />
air conditioning system for their home or<br />
office since 2002.<br />
Their team of expert sales people, qualified<br />
electricians, heating and refrigeration<br />
engineers, help to supply and install<br />
Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps,<br />
and because they have no affiliation with any<br />
one brand, you can be assured their advice<br />
on the benefits and differences between each<br />
product is unbiased.<br />
They will recommend the most energyefficient<br />
and cost-effective system for your<br />
individual situation, and will have you<br />
regulating the heat in your home or office in<br />
no time.<br />
Nowadays, customers are often wanting<br />
whole home solutions to be able to maintain<br />
even temperatures throughout the home<br />
both in Winter and Summer. This can be<br />
achieved by using ducted systems or multi<br />
systems and Enviro Master are experts in<br />
designing, installing and commissioning<br />
these systems.<br />
Help is currently available with a<br />
government subsidy covering 80 per cent of<br />
the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000.<br />
The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi<br />
Homes initiative and is available to Home<br />
owner/occupiers with a Community<br />
Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or<br />
who live in a low-income area as determined<br />
by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand<br />
Deprivation Index.<br />
The applicant’s home must also have been<br />
built before 2008, have insulation up to code<br />
(insulation subsidies also available) and have<br />
no fixed heating in a living area, such as an<br />
existing operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />
With new regulations now in place for<br />
Landlords to provide heating in rentals,<br />
it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new<br />
standards.<br />
Inadequate heating and ventilation can<br />
lead to mould growth and dampness in your<br />
property, leading to costlier maintenance<br />
and an unhealthy living environment.<br />
Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat<br />
output and lower running costs, like a heat<br />
pump, will enable your tenants to heat the<br />
area effectively. Enviro Master are well<br />
experienced with the Tenancy Services<br />
software to ensure that you are meeting your<br />
requirements.<br />
To ensure you choose the right system<br />
for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />
Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />
individual situation, offer advice and<br />
answer any questions you may have. This<br />
consultation is at no cost to the customer<br />
and is always provided before a heat pump is<br />
installed.<br />
Anyone wondering about their eligibility<br />
for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to<br />
get in touch for details and help with the<br />
application process. To find out more, call<br />
Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit<br />
their website www.enviromaster.co.nz<br />
Reduce condensation and<br />
dampness in your home<br />
Damp air in houses condensates on cold<br />
surfaces, such as single glazed windows<br />
or wall linings. With double glazing and<br />
insulation, this moisture will remain<br />
suspended in the air or condensate on<br />
the coolest surfaces available, such as in<br />
cupboards. Window condensation results<br />
in a “ponding” on windowsills, which<br />
discolours paintwork, rots sills and creates<br />
mould on curtains, walls and clothing.<br />
Damp air and other contaminants can also<br />
aggravate respiratory conditions including<br />
asthma.<br />
According to BRANZ (Building Research<br />
Association of New Zealand) one in seven<br />
New Zealand homes have damp wall linings<br />
caused by surface condensation, and in 46%<br />
of homes mildew occurs.<br />
In a typical four-person household,<br />
each family member will contribute<br />
approximately 2.25 litres of moisture in the<br />
air each day through showers, baths, boiling<br />
kettles and cooking – adding up to well<br />
over 60 litres per week.<br />
The Dry-Matic from Smooth-Air, is a<br />
cost effective, proven positive pressure<br />
ventilation system for controlling<br />
condensation and humid air. The Dry-<br />
Matic works by drawing fresh air from<br />
the attic space, diluting, displacing and<br />
replacing humid and contaminated air with<br />
drier, filtered air to reduce or eliminate<br />
surface condensation and dampness.<br />
Dry-Matic units are attic mounted and<br />
can be fitted in both existing houses and<br />
new buildings, operating effectively with<br />
just one vent installed (for houses up to<br />
275 sqm). Reasonably simple to install,<br />
the units can provide relatively inexpensive<br />
relief to thousands of homeowners who face<br />
the depressing sight of windows streaming<br />
with condensation on a daily basis.<br />
In an age dominated by the importance<br />
of minimising the carbon footprint of<br />
buildings and their impact on the wider<br />
environment, it is easy to forget that the<br />
indoor environment is just as important to<br />
occupants. The Dry-Matic both improves<br />
the indoor environment, as well as saving<br />
energy. By using filtered attic air, the<br />
Dry-Matic uses solar heated air during the<br />
day, and reduces the amount introduced at<br />
night. The incoming drier air is easier to<br />
heat, as it is not laden with moisture.<br />
Whilst there are a number of competitors<br />
that offer various solutions, Dry-Matic<br />
systems offer all the benefits at very<br />
competitive pricing.<br />
Smooth-Air provide a wide range of<br />
ventilation products to equip the building<br />
industry with solutions to tackle the<br />
debilitating problem of moist air that<br />
should not persist in the <strong>21</strong>st century.<br />

Rise up with Risingholme<br />
Term 2 Courses<br />
The events of COVID-19 have shone<br />
a light on protecting and maintaining<br />
our well-being and made us aware of the<br />
importance of social connectedness, family,<br />
lifestyle, and community. With all of this<br />
in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a<br />
Wellbeing Series of courses to support the<br />
community in their next steps out of the<br />
covid cloud.<br />
Your brain is like your body – it gets<br />
stronger when you exercise it. There is a<br />
lot of research that suggests learning new<br />
skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one<br />
study, 256 people with mild to moderate<br />
anxiety took part in community education,<br />
the courses covered a wide variety of topics,<br />
from yoga to creative writing. The study<br />
found that after completing the courses,<br />
most participants reported feeling less<br />
isolated during their courses. They also<br />
experienced better wellbeing and less severe<br />
symptoms, and this improvement lasted for<br />
12 months.<br />
By doing a Risingholme course, you can<br />
find a new hobby, make new friends, and<br />
upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable<br />
challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun<br />
short courses in so many areas that can not<br />
only fit around your life, but better it!<br />
Whether you are looking to improve your<br />
mindset, fitness, creativity, find a new job or<br />
learn mindfulness techniques, below is a list<br />
of new and established Wellbeing courses<br />
that you will enjoy:<br />
• Reiki Mindfulness<br />
• Wellbeing through Creativity<br />
• Fitness and Wellbeing<br />
• Pursuit of Happiness - Goal Creation for<br />
Women<br />
• Discovering more about your Creative Self<br />
• Work Readiness for Women<br />
• Zentangle – A Mindfulness Art Practice<br />
• Yoga<br />
Our courses help to keep you focussed<br />
by helping you to get out of the house.<br />
Your interests may be creative, practical, or<br />
something distinctly personal. Whatever<br />
your interests are, there is sure to be a<br />
Risingholme course for you. What matters<br />
is that it is something you find meaningful<br />
and enjoyable.<br />
Expert tuition in small class sizes<br />

More housing choice<br />
is the way forward<br />
Population growth, housing issues – including affordability – and climate change<br />
are prompting a re-think of some of Ōtautahi-Christchurch’s planning rules.<br />
Our proposed plan change<br />
We need to build a wider variety of homes, and more of them, to suit<br />
our changing housing needs.<br />
For lower emissions – and future generations – we must build upwards,<br />
particularly in and around our commercial centres within easy reach of<br />
work, school and the shops.<br />
Where we’ll grow<br />
The proposed Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change<br />
creates a number of residential and commercial zones in the city<br />
and enables more and higher housing to be developed. Developments<br />
may still be subject to a resource consent.<br />
Check out our interactive maps* to find out what the proposed changes<br />
mean for you and your property. Visit ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay<br />
(Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change).<br />
Growing in the right places<br />
While we must follow the Government’s direction, we’re proposing that<br />
some areas have qualities, known as Qualifying Matters. This means the<br />
rules enabling increased development would not apply, or would be<br />
limited, and development remains subject to resource consent approval.<br />
This could be because of their significant heritage or character value, or<br />
because of specific hazards like rockfall, erosion, tsunami or flooding.<br />
Coastal hazards – preparing for change<br />
We’re already feeling the impacts of climate change. We need to<br />
plan now for the effects of coastal hazards on our communities,<br />
infrastructure and environment, so that we are ready for what we<br />
will be facing in the future.<br />
We’re proposing changes, via our Draft Coastal Hazards Plan Change,<br />
to avoid increased risk of harm to people and property from coastal<br />
hazards such as flooding, tsunami, and erosion.<br />
Belfast<br />
The Government wants us to grow up!<br />
We’ve been given direction by the Government to enable more housing.<br />
This means in most urban residential zones of the city people will<br />
be allowed to build up to three houses per section, and up to<br />
12 metres high (three storeys, depending on building design) without<br />
a resource consent.<br />
Even greater building development – both residential and commercial<br />
– would be allowed within and around the central city and suburban<br />
commercial centres.<br />
