Mural aimed at creating a
sense of community pride
• By Emily Moorhouse
AN ARTIST, a project manager
and a natural paint company
have teamed up to see a 32.4m
mural installed in Radley Park.
The mural has been in the
works for more than a year now
and will sit along the fence line
at Woolston’s Roimata Food
Commons.
Roimata Food Commons
co-founder Michael Reynolds
said the idea behind the mural
is to help people feel welcome
and a sense of pride within the
community after seeing the
positive reaction from the street
art post-earthquakes.
“Being a reasonably creative
person myself it felt like adding
some artwork was a logical next
step,” Reynolds said.
Freelance artist Sandrine Castel
designed the mural to align
with the natural aspects of the
gardens at Radley Park.
“I was a preacher for Roimata
for many years, I was following
them, so when Michael
approached me it was obvious
that I wanted my artwork to be
associated with those kinds of
projects,” Castel said.
“When you’re an artist and
someone asks you to create
something for them it’s obviously
what you’re aiming for,” Castel
said.
“Also as a graphic designer
I only work with conscious
businesses, I guess Roimata was
perfectly aligned with my values
as well.”
Reynolds reached out to
Natural Paint Co about a year
ago and painting the green
coats started about six months
ago with the help of staff from
design school Yoobee.
Two weeks ago, Castel started
tracing and painting the design,
which was expected to be
finished in a week, but now she
thinks it will take at least another
two weeks.
“It’s taking much longer than
we anticipated,” Castel said.
“It’s a very time-consuming

project which is still alright, I’m
kind of in my happy space when
I’m painting.”
Because the process is taking
longer than expected Reynolds
is trying to source funding to
pay Castel for her time.
Reynolds expects the mural
to be erected in spring, as the
colder damp weather in winter
would make it difficult to do the
touch-ups once its installed.

Site found
for Sumner
flagpole
• By Mick Jensen
A RECENT site visit has
confirmed the balcony of the
Sumner Centre as the preferred
option for a reinstated flagpole.
Darrell Latham, who sits on
the Linwood Central Heathcote
Community Board, said the visit
with council staff and members
of the Sumner Redcliffs Historical
Society had looked at three
options.
A flagpole situated on the balcony
and running up the wall would
enable the flag to fly 2m above the
building and had been seen as by
far the best option. A flag diagonally
sitting out from the front of balcony
had been dismissed because the
prevailing easterly wind would
make it “look more like a Kentucky
Fried Chicken outlet rather a place
celebrating community spirit’’.
A third option of putting the
flagpole on the pavement had been
ruled out because of vandalism
concerns.
Latham said the balcony option
was the preference of both the
Sumner Redcliffs Historical
Society and Sumner RSA.
Sumner residents have been
asking for the flagpole since the
February 22, 2011, earthquake
and a report will be sent to the city
council for consideration.
Trustee Services
“We cannot predict
the future, but we
can protect it”
Protect your future
with a compliant
TRUST
The best time to establish a trust is when you do not
need it.
Our purpose is to advise individuals on asset
preservation and protection through a client focused
approach tailored to their needs.
We are driven by integrity and building strong and lasting
relationships with our clients. Our Trustee Services
are provided by a dedicated team who understand
the complexities and detail of New Zealand Trust Law,
especially in light of the recent legislative changes.
Trusts require meticulous management to ensure they
are and will continue to be, legally compliant.
We have vast experience in reviewing non-compliant
trusts and swiftly making the necessary changes
to ensure they are legally compliant. If a trust is not
compliant it cannot protect your assets.
How we protect your future
Trust Establishment
We take the time to thoroughly understand
our clients situation and their unique goals for
the future. If a Trust is appropriate, we assist
in deciding the most suitable type. The various
types we consider include Family, Single, Parallel,
Business, Investment or Inheritance depending
on their specific personal needs or objectives.
Trust Management
Trusts require meticulous management to
ensure they are and continue to be legally
compliant. This is particularly important with the
recent changes to legislation in Trust Law with
the introduction of the Trusts Act 2019.
We are passionate about and have a new level
of precision to our trust record keeping so as to
comply with these new requirements from the
get go.
Review Existing Trusts
With New Zealand having the greatest numbers
of trusts per capita, it is concerning knowing
that a large number of them (which have not had
a review in light of the new Trust Act 2019) are
likely to be successfully challenged. This means
that without the review they are likely to not
fulfil their purpose of protecting individuals hard
earned assets.
Business risk, relationship property claims, and
legal action are all possible ways a
trust can be challenged. We are
experts in reviewing existing trusts.
We swiftly implement any
necessary changes and ensure
they will offer full protection from
any potential challenge.
We are passionate about
helping people and ensuring
their futures are protected.
