Architecture’s hidden gems<br />

FORTY ONE of the city’s<br />

“most exceptional works of<br />

architecture” will be opened up<br />

for the public to explore next<br />

weekend.<br />

On Saturday, <strong>April</strong> 30, to<br />

Sunday, May 1, people can<br />

walk through and view a range<br />

of different buildings from<br />

Brooklands to Governors Bay as<br />

a part of the Open Christchurch<br />

festival.<br />

The architectural experience<br />

will include the Harewood<br />

Crematorium (above) on<br />

Wilkinsons Rd, designed by<br />

Warren & Mahoney. A private<br />

Tokyo-style residence that<br />

offers an insight into the future<br />

of urban living and has won<br />

awards for its immersion of<br />

Māori language and values will<br />

also feature in the line-up.<br />

“We are really excited to offer<br />

a new selection of the<br />

city’s most exceptional<br />

works of architecture for<br />

people to enjoy this year,”<br />

said festival director<br />

Jessica Halliday (right).<br />

“It’s only because of the<br />

generosity and commitment of<br />

our building partners that<br />

we’re able to have such a<br />

diverse programme.<br />

“We hope people<br />

embrace it with the same<br />

extraordinary enthusiasm<br />

that they did last year.”<br />

Bid to ease concerns over cycleway<br />

CHANGES MAY be made to<br />

the Wheels to Wings cycleway<br />

design after concerns from the<br />

community.<br />

A hearings panel, chaired<br />

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel, has<br />

finished listening to public<br />

submissions on the plans for the<br />

cycleway, which will provide<br />

a route through Papanui,<br />

Bishopdale, Harewood, the<br />

airport area, the recreational<br />

cycling<br />

facilities at<br />

McLeans<br />

Island, and the<br />

destinations in<br />

between.<br />

“We have<br />

spent a<br />

number of<br />

Lianne<br />

Dalziel<br />

days over the<br />

past couple<br />

of months<br />

listening<br />

to people speak to their<br />

submissions and considering the<br />

written submissions we received<br />

and the revised design scheme,”<br />

said Dalziel.<br />

“There were some really well<br />

considered submissions and it<br />

is clear this is a very engaged<br />

community.<br />

“Some concerns were raised by<br />

submitters about the potential<br />

loss of parking around Nunweek<br />

Park.<br />

“To address this, we’re<br />

recommending that staff look<br />

at the viability of putting the<br />

MORE CHANGES: Safety improvements may be made to the Harewood Rd section of the<br />

Wheels to Wings cycleway near the entrance and exit to Mitre 10. IMAGE: NEWSLINE<br />

cycleway on the park side of the<br />

trees in Nunweek Park.<br />

“This option would actually<br />

allow us to increase the parking<br />

around Nunweek Park, as we<br />

could then put in angle parking<br />

along Harewood Rd.’’<br />

The panel also recommended<br />

safety improvements are made<br />

to the Harewood Rd section of<br />

the cycleway by the entrance<br />

and exit to Mitre 10, city council<br />

staff investigate building a raised<br />

safety platform on Harewood<br />

Rd at the signalised pedestrian/<br />

cycle crossing between Matsons<br />

Ave and Chapel St and the<br />

city council work to ensure<br />

the delivery of other transport<br />

projects in the area are aligned<br />

with the cycleway.<br />

Said Dalziel: “The hearings<br />

panel was particularly impressed<br />

by the time and effort that a<br />

group of submitters put into<br />

developing their own alternate<br />

design scheme.<br />

“We did seriously consider<br />

this alternate option but an<br />

independent review has raised<br />

significant safety concerns with<br />

it.<br />

“After considering all the<br />

submissions and seeking<br />

additional information from<br />

staff, the hearings panel is<br />

recommending the council<br />

approve the revised design<br />

scheme, with some changes.<br />

“The hearings panel’s full<br />

recommendations will be<br />

published online this week. They<br />

will be considered by the council<br />

in May. If the council approves<br />

the panel’s recommendations,<br />

the project will move to the<br />

detailed design phase,” Dalziel<br />

said.<br />

The city council has under<br />

taken two rounds of public<br />

consultation on the Wheels to<br />

Wings cycle route. During the<br />

first round in early 20<strong>21</strong>, the city<br />

council received more than 1300<br />

submissions.<br />

While some of the 1300<br />

submissions supported the plans<br />

for the cycleway, others raised<br />

concerns about aspects of the<br />

proposed route and the impact it<br />

would have on parking, property<br />

access and congestion.<br />

In response to that feedback<br />

and ongoing discussions with<br />

key stakeholders, directly<br />

affected businesses and residents,<br />

some initial changes were made<br />

to the plans for the cycle route.<br />

The revised plans were made<br />

public in late October 20<strong>21</strong> and<br />

a second round of consultation<br />

initiated, which resulted in a<br />

further 86 submissions being<br />

received.<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 />

Protecting our trees<br />

We’re proposing Financial Contributions from anyone wanting to<br />

develop land and who does not retain or plant 20 per cent tree canopy<br />

cover on a site. We’ll use these contributions to plant more trees on<br />

Council-owned land.<br />

The Government wants us to grow up!<br />

Belfast<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 />

BISHOPDALE’S Dale Finch<br />

made the New Zealand Grand<br />

Prix superbike winners work for<br />

their trophies during Sunday’s<br />

main race at Ruapuna.<br />

He latched onto the back of the<br />

leaders right from the start and<br />

kept hounding them all the way<br />

to the finish line with a strong<br />

fourth place in only his first race<br />

meeting at the top level of superbike<br />

racing.<br />

The NZGP meeting marked<br />

a return by Motorcycling Canterbury<br />

to hosting the Grand<br />

Prix title races here over Easter<br />

weekend.<br />

Finch, the current NZ supersport<br />

600 national champion,<br />

made the step up to superbikes<br />

when he was offered a Kawasaki<br />

ZX-10R to race here this year.<br />

He is well known in motorcycle<br />

racing circles in Canterbury, over<br />

the years winning races and titles<br />

in three disciplines – speedway,<br />

motocross and road racing.<br />

About four years ago he tried<br />

his hand at road racing where in<br />

his own words he quickly “got a<br />

bit serious” about it.<br />

“We wanted to focus on winning<br />

the championship,” he said,<br />

and in 20<strong>21</strong> he won the national<br />

600 supersport title.<br />

In only his first outing in the<br />

superbike class he finished a<br />

creditable fourth in the NZGP<br />

title race, close behind winner<br />

Alastair Hoogenboezem, of<br />

Templeton (1st, Yamaha), Tony<br />

Rees of Tauranga (2nd, Honda),<br />

and Scott Moir, of Taupo (3rd,<br />

Yamaha).<br />

But Finch almost didn’t make<br />

the meeting as a Covid-enforced<br />

family separation saw him<br />

overseas, only arriving back in<br />

the country at the start of<br />

<strong>April</strong>.<br />

“When I was training for the<br />

supersport championship, I was<br />

dedicating all my spare time to<br />

winning the championship, so<br />

my fiancée Ali asked that if I won<br />

the championship could I do<br />

something for her.<br />

“She wanted to visit her home<br />

town of Coffs Harbour in NSW<br />

so as soon as we won it, she<br />

headed off while I stayed on in<br />

Auckland for three weeks before<br />

I planned to fly out and meet<br />

her and my two young children<br />

there.<br />

“But we went into lockdown<br />

and I couldn’t get over there, so I<br />

spent eight months here without<br />

her and the kids,” he said.<br />

Finch finally managed to get<br />

over to Australia in December.<br />

While there, he was offered a<br />

superbike to ride so he asked Ali<br />

if they could come back to New<br />

Zealand.<br />

He said it had been a year since<br />

he last rode competitively and his<br />

muscles were reminding him of<br />

the g-forces involved in top-level<br />

motorcyle racing.<br />

Collector’s hunt for rare bottles<br />

COLLECTOR: Josh Svensson with a rare blue soda syphon<br />

and a Christmas tree oil bottle.<br />

• By Kristie Boland<br />

ONE MAN’S rubbish has turned<br />

out to be another man’s fortune.<br />

Twenty years of digging, hours<br />

of research and a keen eye for the<br />

uniqueness of an old glass bottle<br />

has ensured a comfortable retirement<br />

fund for Josh Svensson.<br />

What started as a competition<br />

among young brothers to find the<br />

best glass bottle turned into a collection<br />

of over a thousand glass<br />

bottles, a lot of which were found<br />

in Lyttelton.<br />

Svensson is an antique glass<br />

bottle collector who specialises in<br />

bottles from Lyttelton.<br />

“Some one called me a hoarder,”<br />

said Svensson.<br />

But with a collection worth<br />

more than $80,000, most would<br />

agree it’s a hobby worth having.<br />

“My brother-in-law used to<br />

collect them in the 80s. One day<br />

when I was 12 he took me and<br />

my brothers out fossicking. We<br />

crawled under an old house and<br />

found some old bottles,” Svensson<br />

SAID.<br />

From then, he was hooked.<br />

“It became a competition between<br />

my brothers and myself of<br />

who can find the coolest bottles,”<br />

he said.<br />

The competition went on for<br />

years. One of Svensson’s brothers<br />

decided to sell up a few years<br />

ago and used the money made<br />

from selling his collection to put<br />

towards a deposit on a house.<br />

A selection of New Zealand fizzy drink bottles, known as<br />

the torpedo bottle, from the 1850s-1900.<br />

Svensson is in the lower age<br />

demographic of bottle collectors<br />

in New Zealand, he said there is<br />

about 200-300 across the country,<br />

30 or so in Christchurch.<br />

Before recycling and bottle<br />

collection was a thing, people<br />

used to dig holes in their<br />

backyards to dispose of rubbish<br />

they could not burn, like glass<br />

bottles.<br />

“People used to just throw them<br />

away, out of sight out of mind if<br />

they were too lazy to dig a hole,”<br />

said Svensson.<br />

Lyttelton was once home to<br />

multiple different soft drink manufacturers<br />

including brands such<br />

as JF Wyatt, NC Schumacher, and<br />

R Milsom.<br />

The glass bottles were made<br />

in England and filled in New<br />

Zealand.<br />

Bottle collecting a corker idea<br />

• From page 8<br />

Svensson has spent hours online<br />

researching old newspapers and old maps<br />

and spent time down at the museum.<br />

He previously lived in Charteris Bay<br />

where he would jump in the water at low<br />

tide and hunt for his treasure.<br />

“Often when the boats used to come in<br />

back in the day they would empty their<br />

bottles off the side into the water, some<br />

stuck around in the mud flats,” he said.<br />

Svensson has a metal probe that he uses<br />

to poke into the ground and determine<br />

if there is clay or dirt that’s never been<br />

touched.<br />

“If it goes down easy and hits a glass<br />

item you know someone has dug a hole<br />

there before,” he said.<br />

But it’s not just glass bottles Svensson has<br />

found while digging – he has come across<br />

USED CARS | TRUCKS | VANS bones, old false teeth and even a toilet seat.<br />

COMMERCIAL VEHICLES | SUVS<br />

“Once we were digging a hole then<br />

eventually realised it might have been<br />

MOTORCYCLES | CARAVANS an old long drop, but thankfully after a<br />

BOATS | AUTOMOTIVE SERVICES hundred odd years there wasn’t a lot of<br />

crap left there,” said Svensson.<br />

rules around it.<br />

PLUS check out this week’s “Anything pre-1900s is no go, it’s an<br />

“Often if there’s a new building site<br />

and when diggers are in they might come<br />

across a dumping site, then you’ve got a<br />

limited opportunity, they’ll give you a<br />

call and they’re often happy to get a box<br />

Stoneware ginger beer bottles from 1890 to 1930.<br />

year, and there’s a national bottle show.<br />

It takes more than just a keen eye to<br />

figure out what bottles are of value. Some<br />

are worth $5, some $15,000.<br />

“You have to know about it so it takes<br />

years of experience to figure out what’s<br />

what,” Svensson said.<br />

Svensson has about 1000 bottles in his<br />

collection now. He has found half of them<br />

and the other half he has bought.<br />

During the 20 years he has been<br />

collecting, Svensson added up he’d spent<br />

about 40k on the collection, the most<br />

expensive being $1000 for a single bottle.<br />

“I see it as an investment. I enjoy<br />

collecting the bottles but just the history<br />

behind it as well, I’m just a fan of history<br />

in general.”<br />

Svensson worked out last year his<br />

collection is valued at more than 80k.<br />

“Not bad for a bit of rubbish aye,”<br />

he 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 Post<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 Post<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 />

Proud to support <strong>2022</strong> ANZAC remembrance<br />

Add pickled beetroot<br />

to your Kiwi burger<br />

Kylee Newton<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 />

HOME & HEATING<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 />

Thursday <strong>April</strong> <strong>21</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />

Keep cosy with<br />

RD Petroleum<br />

this winter<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 />

of new and established Wellbeing courses<br />

that you will enjoy:<br />

• Reiki Mindfulness<br />

• Pursuit of Happiness - Goal Creation for<br />

something distinctly personal. Whatever<br />

Interior Decorating Trends for Autumn<br />

As autumn weaves its magic in<br />

our gardens, there are several<br />

home decor trends that are also<br />

set to flourish in this season of<br />

regeneration.<br />

A large part of successful interior<br />

styling is the ability to adapt to<br />

the changing seasons and with its<br />

implied comfort factor and colour<br />

scheme, featuring vibrant hues<br />

of gold and russet, autumn is no<br />

exception.<br />

You don’t have to spend a fortune<br />

transitioning your interiors to reflect<br />

seasonal trends but blending the latest<br />

looks that are suited to your existing<br />

décor and enhancing with your personal<br />

style will always make a statement.<br />

Global interior experts, including the<br />

stylists at Victory Curtains and Blinds,<br />

share their views about key home trends<br />

gaining popularity in autumn <strong>2022</strong>.<br />

Raw materials<br />

Furniture and accessories made from<br />

natural products like wicker and wood<br />

reflect rawness while also making a space<br />

look stylish and modern. Chunky and<br />

textured wall hangings create the perfect<br />

ambience for the living room. Solar lamps<br />

made from waste materials also add a<br />

Are you working out your potential rental returns?<br />

It may seem a simple task but working<br />

out the potential rental returns on an<br />

investment property requires doing a bit<br />

of homework and is more than a simple<br />

calculation. Here are a couple of things to<br />

consider when working out your sums.<br />

As you would expect, every property<br />

investor aims to own a property with a<br />

high yield that will also deliver a large<br />

capital gain, as well as returning a strong<br />

rental return and of course needs very<br />

little maintenance. There are lots of terms<br />

such as rental yields, gross yields, net<br />

yields and capital gains, and what is most<br />

important to you will vary dependent on<br />

your own circumstances. As someone<br />

who does like to err on the side of caution,<br />

I advise my clients to really look at the<br />

net yield – what will your ‘actual’ income<br />

be once you deduct expenses such as<br />

maintenance, insurance, professional<br />

service fees undertaken etc. however<br />

in most cases this is not a realistic<br />

expectation and difficult to achieve.<br />

SOLD Properties<br />

warm glow while providing sustainable<br />

lighting alternatives.<br />

Warm shades<br />

As it cools down outside, bringing some<br />

warmth into your interior is a must.<br />

Adding pops of colour such as orange,<br />

yellow and caramel shades is ideal for<br />

achieving warmth as it will evoke feelings<br />

of nature while also brightening up your<br />

space. Change any neutral coloured<br />

accessories for orange flecked throws,<br />

cushions and wall hangings.<br />

Natural lighting<br />

Regular access to daylight and views will<br />

remain key to home living this autumn.<br />

Layering window treatments such as<br />

sheer blinds and curtains are a smart way<br />

You will often hear the net yield described<br />

as the rate of return. While there will be<br />

variances in these costs, your accountant<br />

will be able to provide you with some<br />

guidelines around estimates.<br />

To calculate your net yield take the annual<br />

rental income and minus the annual<br />

expenses or loss of rental income from<br />

this. Then divide this number by the<br />

property value and multiply this number<br />

by 100.<br />

For example:<br />

Property value $600,000, expected rent<br />

$500 a week and expenses/loss $5000.<br />

$26,000 ($500 x 52 weeks = annual rental<br />

income) - $5000 (annual expenses/loss)<br />

÷ $600,000 (property value) x 100. Yield<br />

= 3.5%<br />

Expenses can include buying and<br />

transaction costs (property purchase<br />

price, legal fees, building inspections,<br />

any start-up loan fees), annual costs<br />

such as vacancy costs (loss of rent and<br />

to enhance natural lighting while<br />

still offering a sense of privacy.<br />

More house plants!<br />

Bringing the outdoors indoors is<br />

another trend that continues to<br />

flourish. Decorating the bedroom<br />

with indoor plants is especially<br />

beneficial for heightened sleep<br />

quality as plants promote clean air<br />

and help to reduce stress levels.<br />

House plants can also provide a<br />

quirky look when added to your<br />

interior.<br />

Standout patterns<br />

Patterned wallpaper in the dining room<br />

is a growing interior trend. Using a<br />

patterned wallpaper doesn’t necessarily<br />

mean the look has to be overpowering - it<br />

just has the ability to add depth to a wall.<br />

Matching your wallpaper with the same<br />

colour palette as the dining room will<br />

unify the scheme and bring the walls to<br />

life!<br />
