Architecture’s hidden gems 

FORTY ONE of the city’s 

“most exceptional works of 

architecture” will be opened up 

for the public to explore next 

weekend. 

On Saturday, April 30, to 

Sunday, May 1, people can 

walk through and view a range 

of different buildings from 

Brooklands to Governors Bay as 

a part of the Open Christchurch 

festival. 

The architectural experience 

will include the Harewood 

Crematorium (above) on 

Wilkinsons Rd, designed by 

Warren & Mahoney. A private 

Tokyo-style residence that 

offers an insight into the future 

of urban living and has won 

awards for its immersion of 

Māori language and values will 

also feature in the line-up. 

“We are really excited to offer 

a new selection of the 

city’s most exceptional 

works of architecture for 

people to enjoy this year,” 

said festival director 

Jessica Halliday (right). 

“It’s only because of the 

generosity and commitment of 

our building partners that 

we’re able to have such a 

diverse programme. 

“We hope people 

embrace it with the same 

extraordinary enthusiasm 

that they did last year.”

Bid to ease concerns over cycleway 

CHANGES MAY be made to 

the Wheels to Wings cycleway 

design after concerns from the 

community. 

A hearings panel, chaired 

by Mayor Lianne Dalziel, has 

finished listening to public 

submissions on the plans for the 

cycleway, which will provide 

a route through Papanui, 

Bishopdale, Harewood, the 

airport area, the recreational 

cycling 

facilities at 

McLeans 

Island, and the 

destinations in 

between. 

“We have 

spent a 

number of 

Lianne 

Dalziel 

days over the 

past couple 

of months 

listening 

to people speak to their 

submissions and considering the 

written submissions we received 

and the revised design scheme,” 

said Dalziel. 

“There were some really well 

considered submissions and it 

is clear this is a very engaged 

community. 

“Some concerns were raised by 

submitters about the potential 

loss of parking around Nunweek 

Park. 

“To address this, we’re 

recommending that staff look 

at the viability of putting the 

MORE CHANGES: Safety improvements may be made to the Harewood Rd section of the 

Wheels to Wings cycleway near the entrance and exit to Mitre 10. IMAGE: NEWSLINE 

cycleway on the park side of the 

trees in Nunweek Park. 

“This option would actually 

allow us to increase the parking 

around Nunweek Park, as we 

could then put in angle parking 

along Harewood Rd.’’ 

The panel also recommended 

safety improvements are made 

to the Harewood Rd section of 

the cycleway by the entrance 

and exit to Mitre 10, city council 

staff investigate building a raised 

safety platform on Harewood 

Rd at the signalised pedestrian/ 

cycle crossing between Matsons 

Ave and Chapel St and the 

city council work to ensure 

the delivery of other transport 

projects in the area are aligned 

with the cycleway. 

Said Dalziel: “The hearings 

panel was particularly impressed 

by the time and effort that a 

group of submitters put into 

developing their own alternate 

design scheme. 

“We did seriously consider 

this alternate option but an 

independent review has raised 

significant safety concerns with 

it. 

“After considering all the 

submissions and seeking 

additional information from 

staff, the hearings panel is 

recommending the council 

approve the revised design 

scheme, with some changes. 

“The hearings panel’s full 

recommendations will be 

published online this week. They 

will be considered by the council 

in May. If the council approves 

the panel’s recommendations, 

the project will move to the 

detailed design phase,” Dalziel 

said. 

The city council has under 

taken two rounds of public 

consultation on the Wheels to 

Wings cycle route. During the 

first round in early 2021, the city 

council received more than 1300 

submissions. 

While some of the 1300 

submissions supported the plans 

for the cycleway, others raised 

concerns about aspects of the 

proposed route and the impact it 

would have on parking, property 

access and congestion. 

In response to that feedback 

and ongoing discussions with 

key stakeholders, directly 

affected businesses and residents, 

some initial changes were made 

to the plans for the cycle route. 

The revised plans were made 

public in late October 2021 and 

a second round of consultation 

initiated, which resulted in a 

further 86 submissions being 

received.

More housing choice 

is the way forward 

Population growth, housing issues – including affordability – and climate change 

are prompting a re-think of some of Ōtautahi-Christchurch’s planning rules. 

Our proposed plan change 

We need to build a wider variety of homes, and more of them, to suit 

our changing housing needs. 

For lower emissions – and future generations – we must build upwards, 

particularly in and around our commercial centres within easy reach of 

work, school and the shops. 

Where we’ll grow 

The proposed Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change 

creates a number of residential and commercial zones in the city 

and enables more and higher housing to be developed. Developments 

may still be subject to a resource consent. 

Check out our interactive maps* to find out what the proposed changes 

mean for you and your property. Visit ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay 

(Draft Housing and Business Choice Plan Change). 

Growing in the right places 

While we must follow the Government’s direction, we’re proposing that 

some areas have qualities, known as Qualifying Matters. This means the 

rules enabling increased development would not apply, or would be 

limited, and development remains subject to resource consent approval. 

This could be because of their significant heritage or character value, or 

because of specific hazards like rockfall, erosion, tsunami or flooding. 

Protecting our trees 

We’re proposing Financial Contributions from anyone wanting to 

develop land and who does not retain or plant 20 per cent tree canopy 

cover on a site. We’ll use these contributions to plant more trees on 

Council-owned land. 

The Government wants us to grow up! 

Belfast 

We’ve been given direction by the Government to enable more housing. 

This means in most urban residential zones of the city people will 

be allowed to build up to three houses per section, and up to 

12 metres high (three storeys, depending on building design) without 

a resource consent. 

Even greater building development – both residential and commercial 

– would be allowed within and around the central city and suburban 

commercial centres.

• By John Cosgrove 

BISHOPDALE’S Dale Finch 

made the New Zealand Grand 

Prix superbike winners work for 

their trophies during Sunday’s 

main race at Ruapuna. 

He latched onto the back of the 

leaders right from the start and 

kept hounding them all the way 

to the finish line with a strong 

fourth place in only his first race 

meeting at the top level of superbike 

racing. 

The NZGP meeting marked 

a return by Motorcycling Canterbury 

to hosting the Grand 

Prix title races here over Easter 

weekend. 

Finch, the current NZ supersport 

600 national champion, 

made the step up to superbikes 

when he was offered a Kawasaki 

ZX-10R to race here this year. 

He is well known in motorcycle 

racing circles in Canterbury, over 

the years winning races and titles 

in three disciplines – speedway, 

motocross and road racing. 

About four years ago he tried 

his hand at road racing where in 

his own words he quickly “got a 

bit serious” about it. 

“We wanted to focus on winning 

the championship,” he said, 

and in 2021 he won the national 

600 supersport title. 

In only his first outing in the 

superbike class he finished a 

creditable fourth in the NZGP 

title race, close behind winner 

Alastair Hoogenboezem, of 

Templeton (1st, Yamaha), Tony 

Rees of Tauranga (2nd, Honda), 

and Scott Moir, of Taupo (3rd, 

Yamaha). 

But Finch almost didn’t make 

the meeting as a Covid-enforced 

family separation saw him 

overseas, only arriving back in 

the country at the start of 

April. 

“When I was training for the 

supersport championship, I was 

dedicating all my spare time to 

winning the championship, so 

my fiancée Ali asked that if I won 

the championship could I do 

something for her. 

“She wanted to visit her home 

town of Coffs Harbour in NSW 

so as soon as we won it, she 

headed off while I stayed on in 

Auckland for three weeks before 

I planned to fly out and meet 

her and my two young children 

there. 

“But we went into lockdown 

and I couldn’t get over there, so I 

spent eight months here without 

her and the kids,” he said. 

Finch finally managed to get 

over to Australia in December. 

While there, he was offered a 

superbike to ride so he asked Ali 

if they could come back to New 

Zealand. 

He said it had been a year since 

he last rode competitively and his 

muscles were reminding him of 

the g-forces involved in top-level 

motorcyle racing.

Collector’s hunt for rare bottles 

COLLECTOR: Josh Svensson with a rare blue soda syphon 

and a Christmas tree oil bottle. 

• By Kristie Boland 

ONE MAN’S rubbish has turned 

out to be another man’s fortune. 

Twenty years of digging, hours 

of research and a keen eye for the 

uniqueness of an old glass bottle 

has ensured a comfortable retirement 

fund for Josh Svensson. 

What started as a competition 

among young brothers to find the 

best glass bottle turned into a collection 

of over a thousand glass 

bottles, a lot of which were found 

in Lyttelton. 

Svensson is an antique glass 

bottle collector who specialises in 

bottles from Lyttelton. 

“Some one called me a hoarder,” 

said Svensson. 

But with a collection worth 

more than $80,000, most would 

agree it’s a hobby worth having. 

“My brother-in-law used to 

collect them in the 80s. One day 

when I was 12 he took me and 

my brothers out fossicking. We 

crawled under an old house and 

found some old bottles,” Svensson 

SAID. 

From then, he was hooked. 

“It became a competition between 

my brothers and myself of 

who can find the coolest bottles,” 

he said. 

The competition went on for 

years. One of Svensson’s brothers 

decided to sell up a few years 

ago and used the money made 

from selling his collection to put 

towards a deposit on a house. 

A selection of New Zealand fizzy drink bottles, known as 

the torpedo bottle, from the 1850s-1900. 

Svensson is in the lower age 

demographic of bottle collectors 

in New Zealand, he said there is 

about 200-300 across the country, 

30 or so in Christchurch. 

Before recycling and bottle 

collection was a thing, people 

used to dig holes in their 

backyards to dispose of rubbish 

they could not burn, like glass 

bottles. 

“People used to just throw them 

away, out of sight out of mind if 

they were too lazy to dig a hole,” 

said Svensson. 

Lyttelton was once home to 

multiple different soft drink manufacturers 

including brands such 

as JF Wyatt, NC Schumacher, and 

R Milsom. 

The glass bottles were made 

in England and filled in New 

Zealand.

Bottle collecting a corker idea 

• From page 8 

Svensson has spent hours online 

researching old newspapers and old maps 

and spent time down at the museum. 

He previously lived in Charteris Bay 

where he would jump in the water at low 

tide and hunt for his treasure. 

“Often when the boats used to come in 

back in the day they would empty their 

bottles off the side into the water, some 

stuck around in the mud flats,” he said. 

Svensson has a metal probe that he uses 

to poke into the ground and determine 

if there is clay or dirt that’s never been 

touched. 

“If it goes down easy and hits a glass 

item you know someone has dug a hole 

there before,” he said. 

But it’s not just glass bottles Svensson has 

found while digging – he has come across 

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

“Once we were digging a hole then

year, and there’s a national bottle show. 

It takes more than just a keen eye to 

figure out what bottles are of value. Some 

are worth $5, some $15,000. 

“You have to know about it so it takes 

years of experience to figure out what’s 

what,” Svensson said. 

Svensson has about 1000 bottles in his 

collection now. He has found half of them 

and the other half he has bought. 

During the 20 years he has been 

collecting, Svensson added up he’d spent 

about 40k on the collection, the most 

expensive being $1000 for a single bottle. 

“I see it as an investment. I enjoy 

collecting the bottles but just the history 

behind it as well, I’m just a fan of history 

in general.” 

Svensson worked out last year his 

collection is valued at more than 80k. 

“Not bad for a bit of rubbish aye,” 

he said.

ANZAC DAY 

MONDAY APRIL 25, 2022 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of 

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces 

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post 

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes 

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its 

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service 

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of 

remembrance.”

Friday 17th of April 

Saturday 18th of April 

Wednesday 22nd of April 

Thursday 23rd of April 

Friday 24th of April 

Saturday 25th of April 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities 

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have 

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the 

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known 

as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – 

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later 

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, 

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local 

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service 

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post 

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the 

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New 

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and 

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became 

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday 

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope 

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn 

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, 

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped 

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned 

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac 

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local 

communities. 

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’ 

Proud to support 2022 ANZAC remembrance

to pickle 

beetroot so 

you can make 

the ultimate 

Kiwi burger, 

perfect for 

autumn 

Kiwi burger 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

400g minced beef at room temperature 

4 Tbsp rapeseed (canola) or sunflower 

oil 

1 large red onion, finely sliced into discs 

or semi-circles 

4 thin slices of Emmental, Gouda 

or Jarlsberg cheese 

4 eggs 

4 burger buns 

4 Tbsp tomato sauce or tomato chutney 

4 Tbsp Dijon or wholegrain mustard 

12 large tomatoes, sliced 

8-12 slices of pickled beetroot (see below) 

4 large iceberg or round lettuce leaves 

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper 

Directions

EDWARDS/ODT 

then gently squash the patties down with 

a fish slice to the diameter of your burger 

buns and cook for a further 10 minutes. 

Flip the patties, season again, and place 

a slice of cheese on top of each patty so 

it gently hugs when melted. Cook for 1 

minute for medium rare, or 2 minutes for 

medium. Remove the patties and set aside 

to rest while you cook the next batch. 

For the fried eggs 

Heat the remaining oil or butter in a 

non-stick frying pan over a medium-high 

heat. Crack in the eggs and as soon as you 

hear them start to sizzle cover with a lid. 

Fry for 30 seconds, then turn off the heat 

and leave covered for a further 30 seconds. 

Depending on how runny you like your 

egg, you can cook them for longer. 

When the patties are cooked, gently toast 

the burger buns in the same pan, pressing 

the sliced sides into the pan for 20-30 

seconds. 

HOME & HEATING 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 


Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone

Divide the meat into 4 equal amounts 

and roll each into a ball. Sandwich each 

ball between 2 pieces of baking paper, 

and using a rolling pin, roll them out into 

patties about 1cm smaller in diameter than 

your burger buns. Set aside. 

Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large 

frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add 

the onions and fry for 5-6 minutes, until 

soft and a little charred. Remove from the 

pan and set aside. 

Keeping a medium-high heat, add the 

patties, two at a time. Generously season 

with salt and pepper. Cook for 30 seconds, 

To stack your burgers 

Spread tomato sauce on the bottom 

buns and mustard on the tops. Place each 

cheese-coated patty on a bottom bun, then 

top with the fried egg, 1-3 slices of tomato, 

2-3 slices of pickled beetroot, lettuce and 

lastly some of the fried onions, before 

finishing with the bun tops. 

Note: Some of us say it’s not a Kiwi 

burger without a pineapple ring. For this 

sweeter version, char some pineapple slices 

in a griddle pan or under the grill and add 

to the stack in place of the tomato. 

Pickled beetroot 

Makes a 750ml jar 

Ingredients 

450g-500g beetroot, peeled, thinly 

sliced/diced (blanched in boiling water) 

or grated 

450ml (scant 2 cups) white wine vinegar 

100ml (1/3 cup) filtered water 

50g (1/5 cup) white sugar 

1 tsp sea salt 

1 tsp black peppercorns 

2 bay leaves 

8 cloves, gently toasted 

3 green cardamom pods, gently smashed 

2-3 pared strips of lemon zest 

Directions 

Combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt and 

spices in a large, non-reactive pan, keeping 

any fresh herbs or lemon zest to one side 

until the jarring stage. Place over a medium 

heat, stirring until the sugar and salt 

dissolve and the spices infuse. Bring to the 

boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then allow 

the brine to cool slightly. 

Pack your prepped beetroots into 

appropriately sized, clean, cool jars. Try 

to fit in as much as possible without 

squashing or forcing too tightly, leaving a 

gap of about 1cm from the top rim. 

Pour the brine over the beetroot. 

Gently tap out any trapped bubbles, or 

use a chopstick to manoeuvre the bubbles 

out, making sure you get out as many as 

you can (this trapped air can encourage 

fermentation). Top up with brine again 

so the produce is entirely covered, up to 

23mm from the very top, and seal with a 

sterilised dry lid. 

The preserved beetroot will need to 

be stored unopened in a cool, dark place 

for about 34 weeks before opening. Once 

opened, store in the fridge for greater 

longevity.


HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when it 

comes to choosing the perfect heat pump or 

air conditioning system for their home or 

office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home 

both in Winter and Summer. This can be 

achieved by using ducted systems or multi 

systems and Enviro Master are experts in 

designing, installing and commissioning 

these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community 

Services Card, a SuperGold combo card or 

who live in a low-income area as determined 

by deciles 8-10 on the New Zealand 

Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, 

it’s time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz 

Reduce condensation and 

dampness in your home 

Damp air in houses condensates on cold 

surfaces, such as single glazed windows 

or wall linings. With double glazing and 

insulation, this moisture will remain 

suspended in the air or condensate on 

the coolest surfaces available, such as in 

cupboards. Window condensation results 

in a “ponding” on windowsills, which 

discolours paintwork, rots sills and creates 

mould on curtains, walls and clothing. 

Damp air and other contaminants can also 

aggravate respiratory conditions including 

asthma. 

According to BRANZ (Building Research 

Association of New Zealand) one in seven 

New Zealand homes have damp wall linings 

caused by surface condensation, and in 46% 

of homes mildew occurs. 

In a typical four-person household, 

each family member will contribute 

approximately 2.25 litres of moisture in the 

air each day through showers, baths, boiling 

kettles and cooking – adding up to well 

over 60 litres per week. 

The Dry-Matic from Smooth-Air, is a 

cost effective, proven positive pressure 

ventilation system for controlling 

condensation and humid air. The Dry- 

Matic works by drawing fresh air from 

the attic space, diluting, displacing and 

replacing humid and contaminated air with 

drier, filtered air to reduce or eliminate 

surface condensation and dampness. 

Dry-Matic units are attic mounted and 

can be fitted in both existing houses and 

new buildings, operating effectively with 

just one vent installed (for houses up to 

275 sqm). Reasonably simple to install, 

the units can provide relatively inexpensive 

relief to thousands of homeowners who face 

the depressing sight of windows streaming 

with condensation on a daily basis. 

In an age dominated by the importance 

of minimising the carbon footprint of 

buildings and their impact on the wider 

environment, it is easy to forget that the 

indoor environment is just as important to 

occupants. The Dry-Matic both improves 

the indoor environment, as well as saving 

energy. By using filtered attic air, the 

Dry-Matic uses solar heated air during the 

day, and reduces the amount introduced at 

night. The incoming drier air is easier to 

heat, as it is not laden with moisture. 

Whilst there are a number of competitors 

that offer various solutions, Dry-Matic 

systems offer all the benefits at very 

competitive pricing. 

Smooth-Air provide a wide range of 

ventilation products to equip the building 

industry with solutions to tackle the 

debilitating problem of moist air that 

should not persist in the 21st century. 

Call Smooth-Air Products: 0800 

SMOOTH (0800 766 684), they will put 

you in touch with one of their certified 

installers who will come out to check what 

you need and give you a no obligation,

Matic on www.smooth-air.co.nz, look for

Rise up with Risingholme 

Term 2 Courses 

The events of COVID-19 have shone 

a light on protecting and maintaining 

our well-being and made us aware of the 

importance of social connectedness, family, 

lifestyle, and community. With all of this 

in mind, Risingholme has coordinated a 

Wellbeing Series of courses to support the 

community in their next steps out of the 

covid cloud. 

Your brain is like your body – it gets 

stronger when you exercise it. There is a 

lot of research that suggests learning new 

skills keeps your brain young and fit. In one 

study, 256 people with mild to moderate 

anxiety took part in community education, 

the courses covered a wide variety of topics, 

from yoga to creative writing. The study 

found that after completing the courses, 

most participants reported feeling less 

isolated during their courses. They also 

experienced better wellbeing and less severe 

symptoms, and this improvement lasted for 

12 months. 

By doing a Risingholme course, you can 

find a new hobby, make new friends, and 

upskill your life by taking on an enjoyable 

challenge. At Risingholme we offer fun 

short courses in so many areas that can not 

only fit around your life, but better it! 

Whether you are looking to improve your 

mindset, fitness, creativity, find a new job or 

learn mindfulness techniques, below is a list 

of new and established Wellbeing courses 

that you will enjoy: 

• Reiki Mindfulness 

• Wellbeing through Creativity 

• Fitness and Wellbeing 

• Pursuit of Happiness - Goal Creation for 

Women 

• Discovering more about your Creative Self 

• Work Readiness for Women 

• Zentangle – A Mindfulness Art Practice 

• Yoga 

Our courses help to keep you focussed 

by helping you to get out of the house. 

Your interests may be creative, practical, or 

something distinctly personal. Whatever 

your interests are, there is sure to be a 

Risingholme course for you. What matters 

is that it is something you find meaningful 

and enjoyable. 

Expert tuition in small class sizes 

Courses range from language, music, 

art, sewing, woodwork, and cooking to

Interior Decorating Trends for Autumn 

As autumn weaves its magic in 

our gardens, there are several 

home decor trends that are also 

set to flourish in this season of 

regeneration. 

A large part of successful interior 

styling is the ability to adapt to 

the changing seasons and with its 

implied comfort factor and colour 

scheme, featuring vibrant hues 

of gold and russet, autumn is no 

exception. 

You don’t have to spend a fortune 

transitioning your interiors to reflect 

seasonal trends but blending the latest 

looks that are suited to your existing 

décor and enhancing with your personal 

style will always make a statement. 

Global interior experts, including the 

stylists at Victory Curtains and Blinds, 

share their views about key home trends 

gaining popularity in autumn 2022. 

Raw materials 

Furniture and accessories made from 

natural products like wicker and wood 

reflect rawness while also making a space 

look stylish and modern. Chunky and 

textured wall hangings create the perfect 

ambience for the living room. Solar lamps 

made from waste materials also add a 

Are you working out your potential rental returns? 

It may seem a simple task but working 

out the potential rental returns on an 

investment property requires doing a bit 

of homework and is more than a simple 

calculation. Here are a couple of things to 

consider when working out your sums. 

As you would expect, every property 

investor aims to own a property with a 

high yield that will also deliver a large 

capital gain, as well as returning a strong 

rental return and of course needs very 

little maintenance. There are lots of terms 

such as rental yields, gross yields, net 

yields and capital gains, and what is most 

important to you will vary dependent on 

your own circumstances. As someone 

who does like to err on the side of caution, 

I advise my clients to really look at the 

net yield – what will your ‘actual’ income 

be once you deduct expenses such as 

maintenance, insurance, professional 

service fees undertaken etc. however 

in most cases this is not a realistic 

expectation and difficult to achieve. 

SOLD Properties 

warm glow while providing sustainable 

lighting alternatives. 

Warm shades 

As it cools down outside, bringing some 

warmth into your interior is a must. 

Adding pops of colour such as orange, 

yellow and caramel shades is ideal for 

achieving warmth as it will evoke feelings 

of nature while also brightening up your 

space. Change any neutral coloured 

accessories for orange flecked throws, 

cushions and wall hangings. 

Natural lighting 

Regular access to daylight and views will 

remain key to home living this autumn. 

Layering window treatments such as 

sheer blinds and curtains are a smart way 

You will often hear the net yield described 

as the rate of return. While there will be 

variances in these costs, your accountant 

will be able to provide you with some 

guidelines around estimates. 

To calculate your net yield take the annual 

rental income and minus the annual 

expenses or loss of rental income from 

this. Then divide this number by the 

property value and multiply this number 

by 100. 

For example: 

Property value $600,000, expected rent
