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 />

Saturday 25th of <strong>April</strong><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 />

PHOTOS: STAR MEDIA<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 />

Add pickled beetroot<br />

to your Kiwi burger<br />

Kylee Newton<br />

has a soft spot<br />

for preserves.<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 />

Directions<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 />

Keep cosy with<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 />

Call Smooth-Air Products: 0800<br />

you in touch with one of their certified<br />

installers who will come out to check what<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 />

Courses range from language, music,<br />

art, sewing, woodwork, and cooking to<br />

name a few!<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 />
