Christchurch Arena 

Cartoonist and ‘gnomologist’ 

publishes second Covid book 

• By Rowan Sinclair 

SUMNER cartoonist Henry 

Sunderland, known for his 

fascination with garden gnomes 

and his book Lockdown Island 

2020, has published a new 

book, Cartoons vs COVID-19, 

showcasing a collection of 

his cartoons depicting New 

Zealand’s challenges with 

Covid-19. 

Sunderland began his Covid 

cartoons at the beginning of 

lockdown in 2020, posting a new 

one every day on social media 

to keep record. The cartoons 

received increasing attention and 

popularity until demand for a 

physical copy led to Sunderland 

self-publishing Lockdown Island 

2020, which contained all of 

his cartoons from the start of 

lockdown on March 26, to the 

end on May 13. 

Sunderland’s new book, 

Cartoons vs COVID-19, continues 

this trend, with daily cartoons 

from August 18, 2021 to March 

5, 2022, during which time New 

Zealand had its second lockdown 

to combat the Delta and Omicron 

variants. 

The book also includes a 

foreword from Dr Ashley 

LOCKDOWN: Cartoonist Henry Sunderland has a new book out, Cartoons vs COVID-19. 

Bloomfield, who was the face of 

New Zealand’s Covid response as 

Director-General of Health. 

Bloomfield describes receiving 

a text every morning from 

Sunderland with his newest 

cartoon, and the insight and 

humour they contained. 

“Henry’s cartoons remind 

us that, despite the pandemic, 

we have so much to be grateful 

for . . . we can take great hope 

from the way we have responded 

as a country; with kindness, 

solidarity and – whenever 

possible – a sense of humour,” 

Bloomfield writes. 

Sunderland said that, while he’s 

sent a copy of the book to both 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern 

and Bloomfield, he’s not in it for 

fame. 

“I’m 72, ego’s out the door. It’s 

all about people,” he said. “I did 

it to make people smile. To look 

back, and have a reminder of 

what we went through. 

“I think it was my first real 

chance, now that I’ve retired 

from teaching and giving out all 

the time, to do my own thing. My 

inner self wanted to get all this 

out, and I just wanted to do it,” 

Sunderland said. 

“Five, six hours some of those 

cartoons took. It was hard going.” 

Drawing cartoons and comics 

to make people smile has been 

a part of Sunderland’s life for 

decades. 

“How many have I done? 

Thousands,” Sunderland said.

words must contain the centre letter.

Last week it was an absolute pleasure 

to attend the opening of Te Aratai 

College’s campus on Aldwins Road. 

The Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, 

was thrilled to have the privilege of 

opening this amazing new facility – 

and there were a huge number of selfies 

taken! Together with Duncan Webb, 

MP for Christchurch Central, we 

handed over the Norman Kirk Award 

for Manaakitanga, which will become 

part of the new College’s awards system 

to recognise student excellence. 

It’s been a long journey through 

the rebuild of Linwood College to 

get to this point, and I’d really like 

to acknowledge Dick Edmundson, 

the principal at Te Aratai, for his 

leadership, Finlay Laird the presiding 

member of the Board of Trustees, and 

Linda Rutland who has done amazing 

work with the Linwood College 

Foundation fundraising. 

There’s been a great win for the 

community in Cass Bay, where Cathy 

Lum Webb and the Cass Bay Residents 

Association have been advocating 

for improved bus routes to help get 

students to their local high school – 

Cashmere High all the way over the hill 

– without having to get up at 6.30am. 

I’m told that some teenagers struggle 

with that wake-up call. 

Following a recent meeting with 

myself and Regional Councillors Phil 

Clearwater and Vicky Southworth, 

ECan announced they’ll be trialling 

adjusted timetables to help Cass Bay 

students with faster connections and 

less transfer time in Lyttelton. There’s 

still more work to go but it’s good to 

see a community voice being heard. 

Kaituna Valley residents went to ECan 

on Thursday to raise their concerns 

about proposed industrial style feed 

barns near Lake Ellesmere/Te Waihora. 

It’s a big change from traditional beef 

and dairy practice in New Zealand, 

with cattle indoors not in paddocks 

and standing on straw all year round. 

The residents want to have the consents 

publically notified so they can have 

their say and I fully support them. 

Finally, it’s Matariki! This is the first 

time we’ve recognised Matariki as a 

public holiday, and I hope you all have 

long weekends to remember.

‘Five, six hours some of those cartoons took’ 

CREATIVE: Two of Henry Sunderland’s gnomes celebrating 

the day a gnome was sent into space, and Sunderland 

with one of the road-cone vases. PHOTOS: FACEBOOK 

• From page 1 

“Strangely enough, it was when 

I was in Antarctica in 1976, ’77, I 

did a comic strip for The McMurdo 

Sometimez (Antartica’s only 

newspaper), I was the first one to 

create a comic strip in Antarctica. 

Then when I was in London, 

I met with cartoonists for Punch 

magazine, and that inspired me, 

so it goes back until then.” 

A historically influential 

British satire magazine, Punch 

helped coin the term ‘cartoon’ as 

it is used today. 

Sunderland is also known 

for his varied creative work, 

including teaching art and 

design at Ara, beginning the 

movement to put flowers in 

traffic cones after the Februrary 

22, 2011 earthquake, and his 

interest in garden gnomes, or 

‘gnomology’, which has led to 

getting garden gnomes to both 

the North and South poles, and 

even inspired a garden gnome 

getting sent into space. 

Sunderland said that his 

passion for garden gnomes has 

been with him even longer than 

illustrating cartoons. 

“It started back when I left art 

school in Wellington. I picked 

up a garden gnome one day, and 

someone said, ‘that’s not art’, and 

that inspired me to find out more 

about them.” 

Following that, Sunderland 

brought a garden gnome with 

him when he went to the South 

Pole in 1970s. The gnome, 

Charlie, was caught in a fire 

shortly after arriving and turned 

as white as the icy landscape 

around him, causing quite a stir 

amongst the scientists at the 

polar base. 

Seeing this, Sunderland 

couldn’t help but become a 

self-described gnomologist 

and spend his creative time 

promoting garden gnomes as 

friendly reminders to take better 

care of the environment. 

“Since then, we’ve had one to 

the North Pole, we’ve had them 

to most places around the world, 

as a symbol to mean GNOME: 

‘Guarding Naturally Over 

Mother Earth’,” he said.

Basil, 80, and working 40 hours a week 

• By Susan Martin 

AT AN AGE when most of us 

have hung up the gloves – Basil 

Plato is out the door to full-time 

employment in Christchurch. 

A statistical anomaly, Basil 

turns 81 this year and says he has 

no plans to retire. He supports 

six men with disabilities in a 

house in Halswell – and has been 

with four of them for 22 years. 

Their average age is 65. 

So why is this veteran working 

40 hours a week? 

“For one thing, I like these 

guys,” he said. 

“We’ve seen a bit of life together. 

People need assistance out 

there. 

“Work keeps you plugged into 

life, feeling younger and ‘with 

it’ – but I know the truth when 

I look in the mirror. I’ve got 

my mates, mostly retired now. 

Oldies tend to talk about their 

aches and pains – and they’re 

legitimate concerns. 

“But I just think, while I’ve got 

my health, there’s more for me 

yet. If I slow down, I might start 

noticing all the bad stuff about 

being old. When it’s time, I think 

I’ll know,” he says. 

Basil says money’s not the 

driver as he’s “all set up.” 

For over 40 years, Basil worked 

as an independent contractor 

in forestry around Canterbury, 

as well as on dairy farms and 

building sites in the region. He 

crossed paths with disability 

when he took time out to care for 

his wife during a long illness. 

“People commented on my 

carer skills, and about 2000, 

a friend saw jobs in disability 

homes and said: “Hey you’d be 

good at that,” he said. 

This was a period in New 

Zealand when policy on disability 

was changing. The state 

was winding up a historic programme 

to segregate babies, children 

and adults with intellectual 

disability in institutions. People 

were being released to join the 

community. 

Basil landed a job with 

NZCare (now NZCommunity 

Living) – a Government-funded 

in-home support provider. 

NZCare was responsible for 

resettling residents from the 

Templeton Centre between the 

mid-1990s and 2000. 

Templeton was New Zealand’s 

first and largest psychopaedic 

institution. Built in 1928, and 

originally called the ‘Templeton 

Farm Colony’, its purpose was to 

‘detain mental defectives.’ 

Basil says he knew little about 

disability at first. 

“We’d all heard the spooky 

rumours about places like Templeton. 

But you didn’t know. You 

didn’t see the people,” he said. 

“I remember my first day, I 

was put on for a nightshift. At 

the end of it I thought – well, 

this won’t be my cup of tea. But 

I turned up the next day and my 

manager said: ‘You’ve come back 

– you’ll be okay’.” 

Basil says the clincher for him 

was NZCare’s proviso that staff 

obtain formal qualifications. 

“I had to do a level 4 certificate, 

which was hard for me, but disability 

is a skilled support area. 

I wouldn’t have known how to 

understand and support the people. 

I mean, I didn’t know there 

were people who didn’t speak,” 

he says. 

Basil says with time, training 

and experience, he learnt there 

were other ways to converse, 

grasp and relate to people. 

“It takes years though to really 

‘get’ a different communication,” 

he said. 

Five of the six residents are 

non-verbal, with autism a common 

theme. 

“We’re always trying to read 

and understand what’s going 

on for them. We’re all pretty 

predictable, and these guys are 

no different. 

“But we just wish we knew 

more sometimes – that they 

could tell us – look, I’ve got a 

bloody headache, a toothache, 

my arthritic knee’s getting bitten 

into, I’m craving cheese, oranges, 

coffee – or I’m just extra hungry 

today and this time it’s serious, 

not my usual haggle,” he said. 

Basil says he’s a person who is 

always observing, thinking and 

trying to figure out what makes 

others tick. 

“One of our guys here sits in 

his favourite chair. At face value, 

you’d think he’s in his own 

world. But I see what he’s up to. 

He’s watching us all in the reflection 

of the telly, taking in what 

everyone’s doing behind him – 

who’s talking to who, who’s saying 

what. I catch him grinning 

and nodding when something 

resonates or tickles his fancy. 

“It’s easy to overlook some 

people, especially when they 

CARER:

disabilities.

MEDIA 

don’t use words. But you have no 

idea how clued up they might be. 

Don’t think you’ve got someone’s 

number or know what they’re 

grinning about – they know 

things you don’t.” 

Basil says the residents are 

experts at watching and reading 

human nature. 

“They’ve had hundreds of staff 

come and go. They’ve spent a 

lifetime scanning the faces of 

those ‘in charge’ and sizing up 

what they’re in for. 

“They also know if you think 

they are ‘stupid’ in all kinds 

of subtle ways. They hear and 

understand everything you say. 

They know what you think of 

them,” he said. 

Basil believes the bad old days 

of bigotry have largely gone. 

“People are a lot less scary 

close up, and once they’ve got 

a name and identity, and you 

break bread with them,” he said. 

Like everyone in Christchurch, 

Basil and the men have their stories 

on the earthquakes of 2010 

and 2011. 

“Their house was destroyed. 

My manager said: ‘Throw what 

you can in a van, drive the guys 

up to Picton, I’ve booked a 

ferry to Wellington. We found 

emergency accommodation in 

Hawera,” he says. 

The men flew back to 

Christchurch six months later 

when a house became available. 

Asked what makes a good 

support worker Basil says: 

“Oh training is key. Then you 

need a good team of people – 

quality, mix, numbers wise. You 

need the right attitude – you 

have to be there for the guys. 

“As staff, we have to stay 

vigilant against any attitude 

of ‘control’ creeping into the 

house. We’re here to support the 

people – not to dominant them 

or suit ourselves. Our blokes are 

fully-fledged adults, sensitive 

and aware, with every right to 

be here, to feel respected and 

valued, safe and relaxed, and to 

have good and bad days,” he says. 

And does Basil regard the men 

as friends? “Yes and no,” he said. 

“People matter. You build 

relationships in this job. But I 

also realise, I can only do my bit. 

I’ve got another life – a partner, 

friends, kids, grandkids. The 

switch does goes off. But I think 

you need that boundary.” 

A colleague who works closely 

with Basil says: “The residents all 

love Basil. Maybe it’s his communication 

style, tone of voice, mannerisms, 

humour or longevity. 

But some breathe a sigh of relief 

when comes in or gets back from 

holidays, a sort of ‘thank God 

you’re here.’ Maybe they’ve had 

enough of us mostly females.” 

With staff turnover notoriously 

high in disability work, and 

women composing most of its 

workforce – this group of residents 

in a Halswell house could 

be doing a lot worse than having 

this enduring man in their lives. 

Finally, when asked the obligatory 

career question of, so, where 

do you see yourself in 10 years? 

Basil laughs and says: “Las Vegas. 

That was the plan before Covid. 

I’d really like to see Las Vegas.” 

There is a Royal Commission 

of Inquiry in New Zealand 

into historic abuse in care 

between 1950 and 1999. A public 

hearing, which will include 

the experiences of people with 

disabilities in institutions, will be 

held in July. This is a chance to 

make disability history seen and 

heard.

Pou unveiling and tree planting 

to celebrate Takapūneke Reserve 


THE CALL is out for locals to 

celebrate the public opening of 

the first stage of Takapūneke 

Reserve in Akaroa. The 

event will be marked by the 

unveiling of a pou at the site. 

Takapūneke was an important 

centre for trade between 

Ngāi Tahu and European settlers, 

but following a massacre 

in the 1830s the area became 

tapu. It was registered as wāhi 

tapu (a place of outstanding 

historical and cultural heritage 

values) in 2002. 

Ōnuku Rūnanga chair Riki 

Tainui says this is a key milestone 

for Ōnuku whānau. 

“Takapūneke is a place of 

cultural and historical significance 

for our people. The 

opening of the first stage of 

Takapūneke Reserve and the 

blessing of Pou Tū te Raki o 

Te Maiharanui is significant 

and represents an expression 

of our relationship to this 

whenua. Current and future 

planned works at Takapūneke 

help us to realise the aspirations 

of many generations of 

Ōnuku tīpuna.” 

The pou, which was 

designed and created by 

renowned Ngāi Tahu master 

carver Fayne Robinson, will 

be revealed on New Zealand’s 

first Matariki public holiday 

on June 24. A public opening 

will be held at the reserve 

from midday. 

The welcome and speeches 

will be followed by a small public 

planting. The work is part 

of a landscape master plan for 

the reserve developed jointly by 

Ōnuku Rūnanga and the city 

council to acknowledge the cultural 

and historical importance 

of the site. 

City council head ranger 

Paul Devlin says the public 

event and planting is suitable 

for families, with warm 

clothing and sturdy footwear 

recommended. 

“Tree planting is a symbol 

of new beginnings making it 

a fitting way to mark the pou 

being unveiled and Matariki, 

which heralds the start of a 

new year in the Māori calendar.” 

Due to limited parking 

people wanting to attend can 

park on Beach Rd and walk up 

through Britomart monument 

to the reserve, or there will

Oscar sets sights high for 40 hour famine 

by tramping, biking and rogaining 

AN ADVENTUROUS eightyear-old 

is so passionate about 

helping children in need he’s 

walking more than 100km 

to raise money for this year’s 

World Vision 40 Hour Famine. 

Oscar Edmond, of Mt 

Pleasant, is walking nearly 100 

kilometres and biking more 

than 40 kilometres with the 

aim of raising $4000 to help 

bring clean, safe drinking 

water to children living in 

some of the world’s toughest 

places. 

The theme for this year’s 

World Vision 40 Hour Famine 

is to change everything with 

clean water for children who 

do not have access to it. 

It’s a theme that resonates 

with Oscar, who loves the 

outdoors and appreciates the 

importance of water. 

“I really want to help other 

kids my age who don’t have as 

much as I do. I can get a drink 

of water whenever I want, but 

some kids on the other side of 

the world can’t,” he says. 

Oscar is taking on a number 

of different challenges to reach 

his fundraising goal, including 

a tramp, a rogaine event, and 

a bike ride. 

First, he hiked the 55km 

Paparoa Trail on the West 

Coast with his family, 

completing it in three days. 

Then he challenged 

himself to a 12-hour rogaine 

event, which is similar to 

orienteering. 

Oscar says he was excited to 

take on a such a challenging 

event. 

“Last year I did two six-hour 

rogaine challenges and this 

year I decided to double it 

and take on my first 12-hour 

rogaine challenge. I found it 

a little difficult, but overall, it 

was pretty good,” he says. 

To finish his trio of 

challenges, Oscar plans to 

complete a 40km mountain 

bike ride. 

Oscar’s mum, Nora says she 

has been more than happy to 

support her son’s endeavours. 

She and her husband own 

a business called Wicked 

Rogaines in Christchurch. 

“Oscar has been rogaining 

his whole life, but we are so 

pleased to see him using these 

events to not only challenge 

and enjoy himself, but to raise 

money for clean water for 

children overseas,” she says. 

Last year Oscar raised more 

than $2000 to help fight the 

hunger crisis in sub-Saharan 

Africa. 

• The World Vision 40 

Hour Famine is New 

Zealand’s largest youth 

fundraising event, 

and each year tens of 

thousands of young 

Kiwis take on a 40-hour 

challenge to raise money 

for children who need it 

most around the world.

Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee 

Protecting the Peninsula’s springs 

The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is supporting a Le Bons Bay 

landowner’s work to protect valuable spring heads and forested streams. 

The Committee is supporting the project with $15,000 to complete 

fencing on the property, through its recently introduced Canterbury Water 

Management Strategy Action Plan Budget. Once finished, the fencing 

project will protect 14 hectares of regenerating bush, including spring 

heads and hill country streams. 

The project, due for completion this month, aims to improve 

water quality and the health of the instream habitat, and 

regenerate native forest, allowing native species to thrive. 

This work highlights the importance of protecting the Peninsula’s 

springs - there’s an estimated 8,000 of them, from tiny seeps to 

more substantial flows. The multiple layers of lava and ash that form 

the volcanic substructure provide pathways for water to flow and 

emerge, and with that a diverse ecology of native plants and fish that 

respond to the moisture. 

The Banks Peninsula Water Zone Committee is a joint committee 

made up of community members, rūnanga and local councils.

Treasures from the past: 

Port architectural heritage 

A LIVELY community 

conversation on a Lyttelton 

Facebook page has inspired this 

week’s focus on the contribution 

of the Port Company (previously 

known as the Harbour Board) to 

Lyttelton’s architectural heritage. 

The first Harbour Board 

building at 5 Norwich Quay, 

on the corner of Oxford St, was 

designed by noted Canterbury 

architect Frederick Strouts in a 

Venetian Gothic style and built 

by Lyttelton firm Hollis and 

Williams in 1880. In those early 

days, the ground floor had a 

reading room as a welcome retreat 

for sea-weary captains, and 

a boardroom on the first floor. 

For eight decades the building 

was home to the Harbour Board, 

who ran Lyttelton Port for over 

100 years. 

In the mid-1980s, it was converted 

from railway storage into 

commercial use, and has since 

been utilised variously as office 

space, a gift shop, a restaurant 

and a café. 

Post-earthquakes, driven by 

a collaboration between the 

owners, community and heritage 

advocates, city council staff and 

skilled engineers and builders, 

a sensitive restoration enabled 

this important building – and

The Last Wild Horses 

by Maja Lunde 

The sensational new novel from the author of The History of Bees 

Translated into 36 languages, winner of the Norwegian Bookseller’s 

Prize, and the most successful Norwegian author of her generation, 

Maja Lunde returns with a heart-wrenching tale, set in the distant past 

and the dystopian future, about extinction and survival, family and 

hope. Mikhail lives in Russia in 1881. When a skeleton of a rare wild horse 

is brought to him, the zoologist plans an expedition to Mongolia to find the fabled 

Przewalski horse, a journey that tests not only his physicality, but his heart. In 1992, 

Karin, alongside her troubled son Mathias and several Przewalski horses, travels to 

Mongolia to re-introduce the magnificent horses to their native land. The veterinarian 

has dedicated her life to saving the breed from extinction, prioritizing the wild horses, 

even over her own son. Europe’s future is uncertain in 2064, but Eva is willing to 

sacrifice nearly everything to hold onto her family’s farm. Her teenage daughter 

implores Eva to leave the farm and Norway, but a pregnant wild mare Eva is tending 

is about to foal. Then, a young woman named Louise unexpectedly arrives on the 

farm, with mysterious intentions that will either bring them all together, or devastate 

them one by one. Spanning continents and centuries, The Last Wild Horses is a 

powerful tale of survival and connection-of humans, animals, and the indestructible 

bonds that unite us all. Translated from the Norwegian by Diane Oatley.

maritime affairs for many years. 

Known colloquially as ‘the Port 

Building’, it underwent a name 

change after the Harbour Board 

made their next physical move. 

The polarising building was 

purchased in 1995 by Independent 

Fisheries Ltd, one of New 

Zealand’s major privately owned 

fish processing businesses, and 

renamed Shadbolt House, after 

their founder Howard Shadbolt. 

It became home to the company’s 

fleet operation, a New Zealand 

Customs office, local community 

radio station Volcano Radio 

and two serviced apartments. 

Deemed uneconomic to repair 

after the earthquakes, it was 

demolished in October 2012; 

having dominated Lyttelton’s 

visual landscape for five decades, 

its absence certainly altered Lyttelton’s 

skyline. 

The Harbour Board’s third 

home on the corner of Norwich 

Quay and Dublin St was designed 

by Warren and Mahoney and 

aimed to reflect the importance of 

the Harbour Board in the port-focussed 

town. The three-storey 

building with tall, white columns 

gave the impression of a grand 

English country house, connecting 

it to Lyttelton’s colonial 

heritage. Its construction in 1987 

just preceded the Lyttelton Port 

Company’s birth as an entity in 

1988, with the introduction of 

the Port Companies Act. The 

building was also home to The 

Banks Peninsula District Council, 

prior to amalgamation with 

Christchurch City. 

This building’s post earthquake 

demolition in 2015 led 

the way for the development of 

Waterfront House on newly repaired, 

reclaimed land. Designed 

by Athfield Architects and built 

by Naylor Love, it opened in 

2017 and brought together both 

administration and port staff in 

one building for the first time. 

Located just 4m from the water, 

it is a bold, contemporary place, 

in stark contrast to Frederick 

Strout’s gothic beauty or the big, 

blue presence of Shadbolt House.

All these eventualities have 

to be planned and prepared for, 

and Environment Canterbury 

will remain in the vanguard of 

these climate change efforts. 

One example is the $40 million 

Waimakariri River flood 

protection project, completed 

late last year. The network of 

floodgates and stopbanks will 

protect half a million people and 

$8 billion of community and 

business assets from a possible 

“super flood”. 

The last major flood was in 

December 1957, when parts 

of Coutts Island in Belfast and 

Kainga were swamped by river 

flow peaking at 3990 cubic 

metres per second (cumecs). 

The protection scheme has been 

designed to defend Christchurch 

from a flood of as much as 6500 

cumecs. 

Environment Canterbury’s 

leadership of biodiversity and 

biosecurity programmes is also 

underpinned by climate-change 

concerns. 

Canterbury’s distinct braided 

rivers and unique wetlands face 

many challenges. The rivers form 

a vital ecological link and provide 

an abundant food supply and 

nesting grounds for 26 species of 

native birds – most classified as

Be a Stormwater Superhero. Keep baddies out of the drain. 

ENVIRONMENT CANTERBURY 


Be a Stormwater Superhero 

You wouldn’t pour soapy suds, paint or 

petrol in the river, right? 

What about tipping in some trash, 

metal, dust, or dog poo? 

Thought not, but when it rains or we 

wash stuff outside, the things we leave 

behind end up in our rivers, streams, and 

bays. 

These baddies travel, untreated, through 

the stormwater system, making the 

water unsafe and wreaking havoc on the 

habitats of living things. 

It’s not hard to be a Stormwater 

Superhero. Here are some simple things 

you can do to keep the bad guys away. 

THE CAR 

Tonnes of copper and zinc find their 

way into Canterbury waterways every 

year. 

Much of it comes from brake pad dust 

and tyre grime that’s washed into the 

stormwater system. 

Get on the Grass Wash your car on 

the lawn or grass verge. It stops cleaning 

chemicals from going into the stormwater 

system. Not possible? Why not use a car 

cleaning service. 

Choose Copper Free Ask for copperfree 

brake pads when it’s time to have 

them replaced and keep on top of any oil 

leaks. 

THE HOME 

Rainy days might give our roofs, 

driveways and paths a good shower, 

but all that grit and grime has to go 

somewheresomewhere – often straight to 

our waterways. 

Sprucing up the Section When 

gardening, take care to keep soil and 

fertiliser on the lawn. Also, sweep up 

leaves and garden waste, and pick up 

rubbish by the stormwater grate. 

Doing DIY Wash paintbrushes in the 

laundry sink. Sweep up any sawdust and 

leftover bits and pieces and keep the 

gutters clean. Well-painted roofs, gutters, 

and downpipes reduce the amount of zinc 

going into the stormwater. 

Bag it and Bin it When out and 

about, pick up your dog’s ‘business’. 

Also, don’t feed the ducks, swans or 

geese – too many of their ‘leavings’ 

leave a mess in our waterways. 

Lift that Litter If you see 

rubbish on the footpath, pick it up. 

Otherwise, it could make its way to 

the stormwater drain. 

AT WORK 

Lots of activity at the worksite can mean 

lots of things polluting our waterways. 

Even small amounts of industrial products 

can do serious damage to the health and 

habitats of marine life. 

Clean up Chemicals Clean up 

spills straight away. Likewise for small 

hardware items. Think about methods for 

prevention, such as installing bunds or 

filters. 

Safe Space for Substances Being smart 

with how and where industrial items are 

stored prevents accidents from happening 

in the first place and lessens the impact if 

they do. 

Get Busy with the Broom Keep the 

shop floor, yards and pathways clean of 

grit, grime and small items that could 

otherwise end up in our rivers when it 

rains.

can do to be a Stormwater Superhero 

and protect Canterbury’s precious 

waterways.

Southern Response 

homeowners urged to 

apply for compensation 

$130m in compensation remains unclaimed 

Homeowners who cash-settled their claims with AMI 

or Southern Response before 1 October 2014 were 

underpaid by about 20 per cent. The average 

compensation now being paid is approximately 

$100,000 per claim. Over 1,300 homeowners have not 

yet claimed their compensation. 

Christchurch lawyer Peter Woods, senior partner at 

Anthony Harper says these homeowners did not get their 

full entitlement when they cash-settled their claims. 

“They may have been very seriously prejudiced at the 

time and they are entitled to be compensated for that 

wrong,” Peter Woods says. 

“There is over $130m worth of compensation waiting 

to be claimed. 

If a claimant cash-settled their earthquake damage 

with Southern Response before 1 October 2014, they 

are likely to have been underpaid and would be 

entitled to a further 20 per cent payment from 

Southern Response, plus interest. 

“Some homeowners may be reluctant to revisit their 

experience with Southern Response, or wary of the 

compensation offer. We understand this can seem 

difficult, however our dedicated team are successfully 

guiding clients through the application process. No 

direct contact with Southern Response is required, 

and there is no fee if the homeowner is not eligible for 

compensation,” he says. 

Woods represented Karl and Ali Dodds in the 

landmark case where both the High Court and Court 

of Appeal determined Southern Response had 

engaged in misleading and deceptive conduct by 

withholding information when cash-settling their 

earthquake insurance claim. As a result, Southern 

Response accepted it was liable to pay approximately 

3,000 homeowners a total of $300m compensation. 

Anthony Harper represents more than 400 Southern 

Response homeowners, with compensation paid to 

date ranging from $65,000 to $425,000, at a total 

value of $30.5m. 

“So many of our clients have told us about the 

hardship and struggles caused by the earthquakes 

and how this compensation will change their lives,” 

Woods says. 

Anthony Harper will advise on the right to claim 

outside the compensation package, what they are 

owed under the compensation package, Southern 

Response’s requirement to sign a new Settlement 

Agreement, and on the terms of the Agreement. 

"We appreciate that homeowners need to have 

certainty about legal fees. After Southern Response's 

contribution to fees, our fee is $875,” Woods says. 

Anthony Harper has established a dedicated website 

for homeowners to register for compensation at:

Absolutely nestled in a natural wonderland 

setting, this Governors Bay family-home 

property is situated on a luscious section of 

907m2 -providing you access to an exclusive 

Canterbury paradise, only 14kms from 

Christchurch CBD. After 10 adoring years at 

the property, the owners have made the 

decision to down-size, now allowing you the 

choice of a Governors Bay address! 

The home integrates superbly within the 

environment, whilst also catering for real 

family-living practicality. Bedrooms and 

living areas are spread across two floors, 

making no compromise on space and comfort 

- with a beautifully spacious lounge, dining 

and kitchen as the heart of the home - and 

an adjoining 2nd living area perfect for more 

quiet space (or perhaps a dedicated keys 

play-area?). Wide open spaces, bathed in 

light and gorgeous 360 degree views are 

optimised with full-format windows and 

beautiful high-ceilings. 

Bedrooms enjoy great separation from the 

living areas, positioned on the ground-level 

- and there are two bathrooms (both with 

showers) and two toilets to utilise. A centralheating 

diesel system is available, as well as a 

log-fire and electric wall-heaters. 

Multiple-level outdoor spaces also allow 

perfect spots to both entertain and relax, 

with a large elevated balcony connecting to 

the main-living - whilst the lower terrace is 

an ideal spot to enjoy a book or maybe a spa 

soak, with beautiful bush privacy! An extra 

studio on-site provides additional space / 

storage - or can be used as a separate garage 

if needed.
