One of Kaiapoi’s historic landmarks, 

the former Bank of New Zealand 

building,isset for anew life after 

extensiverestoration work. 

The building will become amodern 

retailspace on the groundfloorwith 

two luxury apartments for Airbnb 

accommodation upstairs on the top 

floor,after Kaiapoideveloper Jedd 

Pearcebought the building fromthe 

Shivasfamily, in March 2020, just 

beforethe first Covid19pandemic 

lockdown. 

Mr Pearce bought it becausehe 

wantedittoberestored and ‘‘nobody 

else seemed interestedindoing 

that’’. 

‘‘It is anice localproject,’’hesays. 

Hazeldine Construction joined him 

as shareholdersinthe project which 

made thingsworkable. 

‘‘Theyhave doneeverything at cost 

so that has beenabig help.’’ 

The classical building is in its final 

stage of restoration and willagain be 

aKaiapoi landmark. 

Mr Pearce is pleased with how the 

building has been restored and says 

there has been alot of interest in it. 

The ground floor retailer will be 

announced in the next few weeks. 

Mr Pearce is planning an open day 

for the publicinSeptember. 

The Thomas Lambertdesigned 

brick and stone building, on the 

corner of Williams Street and 

CharlesStreet, was opened for 

business in 1862.Itwas the fourth 

BNZ branch office to open in 

Canterbury and reflected the 

significant commercial business 

generated by the flourishing Kaiapoi 

Port at thattime. 

In October 1988 the BNZ moved 

into new premises, further along 

Williams Street.The buildinghas an 

Historic Place Category 1registration 

and was given Landmark status in 

2010. 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordonhas called for a 

moratoriumtoprivate planchangerequests, while 

acouncil is reviewing its District Plan. 

Mr Gordon raised the matter with Environment 

Minister David Parker during last month’sLocal 

Government Conference. 

The Waimakariri District Council notified its 

draft District Planlast year and the processis 

ongoing. 

Last month the councilnotifiedaprivate plan 

changerequest —Plan Change 31 (PC31) —ithad 

received from Rolleston Industrial Developments 

Ltd to build an 850 homesubdivision at Ohoka. 

It is one of two private plan changesonthe 

council’s books, alongwith PC30 in Ravenswood, 

which was part of an ongoingdevelopment. 

‘‘A District Plan is essentially a10yearrule book 

that sets districtwide rulesfor sustainably 

managing how people use, subdivide and develop 

land, whatand where they can buildand alsowhat 

kind of activities theycan undertake,’’ Mr Gordon 

said. 

‘‘In the caseofWaimakariri, we have been 

through afull and detailed processofdeveloping a 

proposed District Plan, are working through 

submissions and are now awaiting hearing 

commissioners to consider the latestversion. 

‘‘To allow private plan changes to be 

incorporated into this process seriously 

compromisesthe work we have done.’’ 

Mr Parker agreed to get his officials to look into 

the issue, Mr Gordon said. 

The council has extended the deadlinefor 

submissions on PC31 by an extra week to August 12, 

following concerns from the community. It cited a 

combinationofCovid19 illnesses, flu and the 

schoolholidays as reasons for granting the 

extension. 

A‘‘friendofsubmitter’’, Emma Fraser,has been 

appointedtoassistresidents with preparing their 

submissions and can be contacted at 021303394 or 

email emma@planningnorthcanterbury.co.nz. 

The council has announced it willbemakinga 

submission againstPC31, which was discussed at 

Tuesday’s (August 2) council meeting.

Local bacon in winners circle 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Cheviot's Harris Meats has won gold, 

and silver at the New Zealand Bacon 

and Ham Awards. 

Its shoulderbacon took top honours, 

while its dry cured middle bacon gained 

silverinits category. 

The awards wereback after athreeyear 

break with more entriesthan ever. 

Almost200 entries were received across 

seven bacon and two ham categories. 

HarrisMeats generalmanager Nick 

Tobin says it was great to come away 

with the two awards. 

Both were crafted from ‘‘traditional 

recipes’’ the business had been using 

for sometime. 

Judging tookplace overtwo days, 

with ateam of butchers and culinary 

experts inspecting and sampling the 

country's finest bacon and ham 

products, all produced using100 

percent New Zealand bornand raised 

pork. 

Gold, silver and bronze medals were 

awarded in each of the bacon and ham 

categoriesand then all the gold medal 

winners wererejudged against each 

other to find the supreme winners 

producing the country's top bacon and 

top ham. 

Warkworth Butchery, just North of 

Auckland, took out New Zealand's top 

bacon with their dry curedmiddle 

bacon entry and Auckland'sWestmere 

Butchery has won New Zealand's best 

ham award for their bonein leg ham.

In contrast to this the bacon was a 

very close competition, and the judges 

had to retaste someofthe products to 

ensure they picked the rightone! 

Miller Childssays it was incredible to 

see the quality of the beautiful New

talents improve over the years.

Job programme awaits funding 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

NorthCanterbury’s Mayors’Taskforce for 

Jobs (MTFJ) programmes remain on 

tenterhooks as they awaitfunding. 

The Ministry of Social Development has 

indicated it willsupport the programme 

for another 12 monthsinthe Hurunui and 

Kaikouradistricts. 

But negotiations for funding are 

continuing, one month intothe new 

financial year. 

Speaking at last week’sKaikoura 

District Council meeting, employment coordinator 

Sean Maddensaid $350,000 was 

beingsought to continue the programme. 

‘‘This month (July) has beenastruggle 

while we waitedfor the new contract. 

‘‘Even though we were assured our 

roles, the uncertainty of what may be in 

the contractcertainly placed strain on all 

of us.’’ 

He said the criteria for the coming 12 

months was ‘‘morebroad’’than initially 

proposed. 

‘‘It’sstillyouth focused, butit’s more 

broad whichsits well with the work we do. 

Mayor Craig Mackle saidhewas thrilled 

the programme was continuing. 

‘‘Whenitcomes to helping our youth 

into workit’s one of the best bang for buck 

projects out there in my opinion.’’ 

Kaikoura’s MTFJ programme was subcontracted 

to Te Ha oMatauranga 

(Kaikoura EducationTrust). 

In the last 12 months50young people 

have been placed in employment in 

Kaikoura through the programme. 

But the overall number was much 

higher, as noone was turnedaway, Mr 

Maddensaid. 

Hurunui Mayor MarieBlack saidshe 

was thrilled with the success of the 

programme. 

‘‘The MTFJprogramme has delivered 

exceptional resultsacross the districtover 

the past two years. 

‘‘We look forward to anotheryear of 

supporting our youngpeople into 

sustainable employment. 

Businesspartnership advisorChris King 

is in his thirdyear runningthe programme 

alongside programme coordinatorJo 

Carter. 

‘‘Ithas been great to see the community 

and localbusinesses really get behindthe 

programme,’’MrKing said. 

‘‘That feeling you get when youplace a 

young personinemployment never wears 

off.’’

Catchments saturated in Waimakariri 



Waimakariri is awash after the recent 

rain,asthe risk of major flooding 

increases. 

Afterthree heavy rain eventslast month, 

Waimakariri District Councilthree waters 

manager KalleySimpson says 

groundwater levelsare similar to the 

levels after the June2014 flood event. 

‘‘Thecatchments in the district are 

saturated and groundwater levelsare 

high,therefore thereisanelevated risk of 

floodingdue to rainfall events overthe 

coming months. 

‘‘We willcontinue to closely monitor and 

respond to anyfuturewet weather events, 

taking intoaccount thiselevated risk.’’ 

Mr Simpson says the July 26 rainevent 

was the largest, and it followed heavyrain 

eventsonJuly 12 and 20. Woodend 

(119.6mm) and Kaiapoi (109.6mm) 

received the most rainfall, followed by 

Rangiora (78.6mm),Mandeville (72.2mm), 

Summerhill(nearOxford, 61.8mm) and 

Oxford(47.2mm). 

Undercurrents are also flowing at a 

particularly high level in the Mandeville 

area, he says. 

‘‘Thisevent (July26) was moreofa 

coastal event and was in the order of a20 

to 30 yeareventover24hoursfor Kaiapoi 

and Woodend, which experience the 

higherlevels of rainfall,’’MrSimpson says. 

The councildid major infrastructure 

work following aseries of heavyrain 

eventsin2014, while stormwater work had 

begun in Kaiapoi as part of the 

Government’s Covid19 ‘‘Shovel Ready’’ 

funding. 

Mr Simpson saysthe upgrades had 

generally performed well, while the 

stormwater improvement areas in 

Kaiapoi, including Feldwick Drive and 

Otaki Street,had experienced flooding as 

predicted. 

‘‘There was surface flooding across the 

wider district, most of whichwas in known 

areas of floodingwherewehave 

investigationsorupgradesunder way. 

There weresome areasthat flooded 

unexpectedly, such as in McDougal Place 

in Kaiapoi.

Councillors express opposition 

By DAVID HILL 

The Waimakariri District Council is 

‘‘standing up’’ for the community in 

opposing aprivate plan change request 

at Ohoka, near Rangiora, says Cr Niki 

Mealings. 

Councillors voted to approve a 

submission opposing private plan change 

31, submitted by Rolleston Industrial 

Developments Ltd to develop a850 house 

subdivision at Ohoka, at Tuesday’s 

(August 2) council meeting. 

Cr Mealings, who has lived at Ohoka for 

23 years, said the Resource Management 

Act had reduced the council to the status 

of ‘‘just another submitter’’. 

‘‘But we are not just another submitter, 

we are standing up for our community.’’ 

Cr Mealings’ comments were met with 

applause from more than 30 residents in 

the public gallery. 

The council’s submission was 

prepared by its lawyer Andrew Schulte, a 

resource management lawyer with Cavell 

Leith. 

Mr Schulte said choosing to make a 

submission opposing PC31 and 

delegating the final decision to 

independent commissioners carried a 

risk. 

‘‘If the council is not happy with the 

decision of the commissioners it would 

leave you with very little room. 

‘‘It would need to be an extreme 

situation for the council to appeal to the 

Environment Court.’’ 

Cr Kirstyn Barnett said the law left 

little room for the council to oppose the 

development. 

‘‘We don’t really have the power to 

deny it and if we chose not to make a 

submission we would have no voice. 

‘‘By making adecision to do this (make 

asubmission) this council is sending our 

message to the commissioners to say we 

have done the research, we have worked 

Deliberations ... Waimakariri district councillors prepare to discuss asubmission 

opposing aprivate plan change at Ohoka. 

PHOTO: DAVID HILL 

through our District Plan and we have 

the evidence to oppose it.’’ 

Cr Paul Williams said he supported 

development, but had serious concerns 

with the downstream drainage effects in 

Kaiapoi, should the Ohoka development 

went ahead. He wondered if Rolleston 

Industrial Developments Ltd could be 

persuaded to put in an application to 

develop amore suitable site. 

Cr Joan Ward grew up in Ohoka and 

said she would ‘‘hate to something 

happen to it like this developer is 

proposing’’. 

While the developer had found a 

loophole in the National Policy 

Statement on Urban Development, which 

allowed for development in growth 

areas, such as Greater Christchurch, the 

proposal went against the council’s 

previous planning work. 

This included the Operative District 

Plan, the draft District Plan, which was 

notified last year, and the nonstatutory 

Rural Residential Development 

Strategy, which was prepared in 2018. 

The strategy found that rural 

residential development, sections of 

5000m2, was unsuitable on the site 

proposed by Rolleston Industrial 

Developments Ltd, which is proposing to 

develop 500m2 sections.

As local MP it is my job to listen and 

support constituents across the 

Waimakariri, whichiswhy Iheld a 

dropin session recentlyfor Ohoka 

residents concernedaboutthe Carter 

Group’s proposalfor anew 

subdivision. 

Afterbeingcontacted by ahandfulof 

thoseresidents Iarranged the meeting 

and spoke to more than100 people 

over three hours. 

It was constructive and helpful to 

hear from thoseaffectedbythe 

proposaland Ithank them for their 

time. 

As aresult of feedback from 

residents at the meeting, Icontacted 

the WaimakaririDistrict Councilto 

ask them to consider an extensionof 

the submissionsprocess. Iwelcome 

the councils subsequent decision to 

allow an extra week for people to lodge 

submissions as it is important people 

haveadequate timetohave theirsay. 

It has rightfully beenreported that 

the developerisacousinofmine, 

something Ihave been upfrontabout 

in allcommunications. 

Having beenthe MP for Waimakariri 

for eight years nowand with the Carter 

Group being aprominentproperty

inevitable this wouldcome up at some 

stage. 

As has also been reported, Idonot

people with such passion,committed 

to representing their peers fromtheir 

electorate. 

Iwas proud of my Waimakariri 

Youth MP Hillary Cooper, who 

delivered agreat speech calling for 

better access to driving courses and 

licencesinrural areas. 

Hillary has been dedicated to her 

role, engaged with young people 

across the electorate, and confident in 

her abilities. Well done,Hillary!

Lack of nominations 

for local govt election 



Where areall the candidates? 

Withjust aweektogo, North 

Canterbury electoralofficersare 

scratching their headsatthe lack of 

nominationsfor this year’slocal 

government elections. 

HurunuiDistrict Council deputy 

electoral officer Naomi Woodhamsaid 

there had been someissues withloading 

candidates on the electionz.com website, 

but therewere onlyafew names to load. 

‘‘Democracy is so important andIknow 

peopleare tired, but yourdistrict needs 

you Hurunui needs you.’’ 

As at Tuesday morning(August 2), just 

fiveconfirmed nominations had been 

received, includingone Mayor. 

Ms Woodhamsaidafurtherthree 

nominationswere still to be added to the 

tally. 

She did expect to receive some 

nominationsthis week from sitting 

councillors, butthere did not appear to be 

‘‘a lotofinterest or engagement’’. 

Covid fatiguemay be factor, shesaid. 

‘‘I did think withissues like theRMA 

(ResourceManagementAct) andThree 

Waters reformsthat theremight be abit of 

interest,becauseit’sreally important that 

local peoplespeak up on these issues. 

‘‘But maybe people aretired. It’s beena 

hardfew years.’’ 

The lackofamayoralrace,with 

incumbentMarieBlackseekingreelection,may 

also be having an impact,Ms 

Woodham said. 

‘‘Last timewehad threevery diverse 

candidates (forMayor) and thatmeant 

there wasalot of engagementand interest 

right across the board.’’ 

Waimakariri DistrictCouncildeputy 

electoral officer Sarah Nichols suspected 

lastweek’s wetweather mayhave turned 

peopleoff. 

No nomination hadbeen receivedfor 

Mayor by Tuesday, but incumbent Dan 

Gordon has alreadyannouncedheis 

seeking asecond term. 

‘‘Nominations have been abit slow last 

week, howeverweexpect an increaseto 

comethrough this week. 

‘‘Our key message is not to leave it to the 

lastday.’’

HURUNUI THEATRE GROUP ADVERTISING FEATURE 

International marine, 

education hub mooted 



On stage at last ... Spamalot finally overcomes obstacles to make it on stage at the 

Waipara Hall from August 25 to September 3. 

PHOTO:SUPPLIED 

Quest for Holy Grail 

realised in Waipara 

After two seasons of noshows, the 

Hurunui Theatre Group is back to 

amuse and astound audiences with a 

show of farcical proportions — 

Spamalot. 

This Monty Python adaptation of the 

legendarytale of King Arthur follows 

the monarch, and his trustysidekick, 

Patsy, on an epic search for knights to 

join him at Camelot, and ultimately,to 

find the Holy Grail. 

Along the way he must overcome 

many obstacles, includingthe Knights 

of Ni, the French, akiller rabbit,and 

the incompetence of his own Knights. 

The humour is as ridiculous as it is 

sublime, and is sure to have your sides 

splitting and cheeks aching from start 

to finish. Andtocap it all off, it’s alove 

story too. 

This is the 28th show performed by 

the longserving theatre group,and its 

journey to the stage has been as 

plagued by obstacles as King Arthur’s. 

Last year’s cast were devastated 

when the countrywas plunged into 

lockdown just10days before opening 

night. Other commitments meant it 

couldn’t be staged post lockdown, and 

this year the show has had to find a 

new director, recastlead actors and 

bolster supporting cast and crew. 

However, with North Canterbury 

determination, the group has banded 

together and pooled talent from 

Christchurch to Cheviot to bringthis 

musical extravaganza to audiences. 

Victoria King has settled herself in 

the director’s chair, while Liz Grigg 

holds the conductor’s baton as musical 

director, ably accompanied by Tony 

Kingston on the keyboard. 

This is afantastic evening out to 

help chase awaythose wintery blues; 

with the traditional free intermission 

supper provided by Waipara School, 

and acash bar run by Torlesse Winery 

to wash it down.The vocal stylings of 

local performer Kelly FletcherJones, 

as Lady of Lake, are sure to wow, and 

the group has no doubt you’ll leave 

looking on the bright side of life. 

The show runs for asixnight season 

at the Waipara Hall, from August 25 to 

September 3, with amatineeon 

Saturday, August 27. 

Tickets are available from Sally 

Mac’s Amberley, GAS Waikari, Gifts 

and Finds Cheviot, or online at www. 

hurunuitheatre.org. 

Adults $25, Seniors $20, Children 

under 16 $15. 

Hurunui Theatre Group presents 

Kaikoura has the potential to become an 

international hub for marine research 

and education ifitcan get the funding. 

Abusiness case has been produced for 

the future development of Kaikoura’s 

South Bay Harbour, thanks to funding 

from the Government’s Provincial 

Growth Fund. 

The Kaikoura District Council 

approved the business case at acouncil 

meeting on Wednesday, July 27, and will 

now seek more funding to take it to the 

next stage. 

Councillors hailed the business case 

as a‘‘game changer’’ for the town, which 

already hosts marine researchers from 

the University of Canterbury and other 

agencies. 

The South Bay Harbour has multiple 

uses, including tourism, and commercial 

and recreational fishing. 

‘‘In the business case there’s the 

potential linkage with research and 

educational facilities and to tie in with 

any potential development in that space 

and that could be phenomenal for 

Kaikoura,’’ chief executive Will Doughty 

said. 

‘‘We are very fortunate with our 

marine life and we are known for being 

ahot spot in the southern hemisphere.’’ 

He said the University of Canterbury 

was keen to make along term 

commitment to Kaikoura, if suitable 

facilities were available. 

‘‘We need to be looking broader than 

that and maybe looking to other overseas 

universities as well.’’ 

The business case proposed building a 

much bigger harbour to support the 

growth in the fishing and tourism 

sectors. 

‘‘A lot of sectors use it and it gets 

busier and busier, so there is the 

potential for issues around marine 

safety. 

‘‘So we need to make sure we have a 

plan and layout which supports the 

different users.’’ 

Mayoral candidate Ted Howard, who 

has abackground in commercial fishing, 

raised concerns about the impact of the 

proposed location of the commercial 

fishing harbour in asoutherly wind. 

Kaikoura Marine Development 

Project manager Chris Sturgeon said the 

issue had not been raised in stakeholder 

meetings with commercial fishing 

operators, but it could be addressed 

during the feasibility study. 

Te Runanga oKaikoura had been 

supportive of the project and was keen 

to be part of the next stage, especially 

around ensuring mahinga kai was 

protected, Mr Sturgeon said. 

Mr Doughty said the business case 

Marine research ... Will Doughty would 

like to see Kaikoura tap into its marine 

research potential. 

PHOTO: FILE 

would now be presented to the 

Government and the Canterbury 

Mayoral Forum. 

The project would take anumber of 

years to come into fruition and would 

require significant investment, he said. 

At least $4 million would be needed to 

produce afeasibility study and detailed 

design, while the over all development 

was expected to cost between $78 and 

$95 million. 

‘‘It’s been quite arobust process and 

we’ve had input from key stakeholders 

and from anumber of community 

sessions,’’ Mr Doughty said. 

‘‘But this is just the first step and now 

we need to go out and secure the funding 

to take it to the next stage. The hard 

work starts now.’’

FLAX BUSHES ON THE MOVE 

Last month on Hurunui Bluff Road, Topps Contracting was installing awillow wall and aculvert 

pipe. 

Acouple of large flaxes needed to be removed to allow water to flow into the culvert, and it was 

recalled at the time that Leithfield Beach Residents' Association had recently requested some for 

its own community vegetation planting. 

The flaxes were promptly and carefully loaded onto one of Topp’s small trailers, and they were 

dropped off to Leithfield Beach and received by avery happy bunch oflocals. 

Looking after our varied landscapes and beauty spots across the District can beagreat thing with 

good ideas and some team work.

Issue 209 August 2022 

Recent Emergency Response Efforts 

in Waipara 

Following asubstantial weather event on July 11,the 

Waipara River began rising fast, eroding the ground 

under aMainPower pole. Without urgent attention and 

intervention, the pole could have fallen into the river 

cutting power toapproximately 2,300 connections 

around Amberley and surrounding areas. Ifthis situation 

were to occur it could take upto24 hours torestore 

power, with the requirement for ahelicopter to re-string 

the lines across ariver to span anew pole. 

Spotlight on Sponsorships 

The MainPower Community Fund has had the 

opportunity tosupport various schools and charitable 

organisations within the MainPower network. Consumers 

on the MainPower Network can apply for ashare of 

the funding, applications then get shortlisted, with the 

winners being decided by an online community vote. 

The MainPower team quickly established anEmergency 

Operations Centre (EOC) toreview the situation and 

decide on acourse of action to take. Once the EOC 

decided onasolution, afive-man field crew was 

dispatched, along with an external crane operator and 20 

tonne digger to install anew pole 15 metres behind the 

existing pole. 

Affected residents were notified via radio, social media 

and emails to prepare for apower outage.The power to 

Amberley and some surrounding areas, was switched 

off just after 7pm. While originally meant tobea10-hour 

job, the fantastic team managed to get the power back 

on before midnight. 

Annual Report 2022 

MainPowers’ Annual Report for 2022 is now live and 

being distributed. Itisavailable to view and download via 

the MainPower website. 

Detailing the successes and challenges over the past year, 

this report allows the community tosee how our business 

is tracking and where we are heading with your support 

and encouragement. 

The Annual General Meeting ofshareholders of 

MainPower New Zealand Limited will beheld on 

Wednesday 17August, commencing at 5pm.The meeting 

will beheld at MainPower’s head office, 172 Fernside 

Road, Rangiora. 

Cust ToyLibrary 

The CustToyLibrary recieved 

$500 from MainPower through 

the Community Fund. 

These funds were used to 

create adigital catalogue / 

library database for families to 

browse and reserve toys online.

been held on individual index 

cards for over 30 years! 

The implementation of this online database allows for 

volunteers atthe CustToyLibrary to easily reserve and 

update information ontoys available, and when they are 

due back.

Photography comp back in focus 

Kaikoura’s popular 48 hour photoshoot 

and exhibition is celebrating 20years 

this month. 

For the past two decades amateur 

photographers have been capturing the 

beauty of the Kaikoura district, its 

people, wildlife and scenery in the 48 

Hours in Kaikoura photo competition 

and exhibition. 

The 48 hour photoshoot is this 

weekend, Saturday and Sunday, August 

6to7,with aclosing date of August 25 to 

enter images in the competition. 

Organiser Neroli Gold says the 

inspiration for the exhibition came after 

speaking to an elderly local who had 

never walked the iconic Kaikoura 

Peninsular Walkway. 

She decided aphotography shoot and 

exhibition would help to encourage folk 

to get out and about. 

Visitors now take part in the weekend 

long competition bringing valuable 

dollars into the community. 

Entrants take photographs during a 

set 48 hour period and are then given 

nearly three weeks to finalise their 

selection of images to enter into the 

exhibition. 

‘‘I have always said it’s not about 

winning,’’ Neroli says. 

‘‘It’s about getting out there and 

experiencing the diversity and beauty 

our region has to offer.’’ 

To celebrate 20 years, there are two 

additions to the event. 

Kaikoura photographer Andrew 

Spencer will have aspecial exhibition 

alongside the 48 Hours exhibition. 

Andrew entered the first 48 Hours 

photoshoot and after winning acouple 

of classes he decided to become a 

professional photographer. 

An astrophotography workshop will 

also be held over the photoshoot 

weekend with professional 

photographer Rachael Gillespie, 

Lift off ... John Vasta’s image ‘‘What’s the Hurry’’ was the winner in the nature /wildlife 

category in the 2020 48 in Hours Kaikoura Photography competition. 


including anight shoot. 

Tickets cost $25 for the workshop on 

Saturday, August 6, with participants 

learning how to plan for an 

astrophotography photoshoot. 

In the evening there will be anight 

shoot along the northeast view towards 

the Chimney and Pink House and 

around towards the seal colony. 

Neroli says the event has been well 

supported over the years by local 

businesses. 

This year’s sponsors include 

Encounter Kaikoura, New World 

Kaikoura, South Pacific Helicopters, 

Puhi Peaks, Aartvark, Kaikoura 

Creative Communities and Paper Plus. 

Entry forms are available at

30 years experience installing carpet 

and vinyl to the well established retail 

business. 

When clients are looking for experts 

with experience in the industry, Don 

and Jan are there to help from assisting 

with the choosing the right product right 

down to helping with colour choices. 

Graham &Sons point of difference is 

preparing floors before laying the 

chosen floor covering. 

It fixes cracks, grinds floors, sand 

floors, and levels them using flooring 

compounds.

coverings for your home and office

Councils opposed 


LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER 

North Canterbury’s three councils 

have expressed their oppositionto 

Local Government New Zealand’s 

(LGNZ)submission on the Water 

Services Entities Bill. 

The councilstook aim took aim 

at LGNZ’s proposalfor aphased 

transition to ThreeWatersreform, 

by delaying the transferring of 

stormwatertothe new entities. 

The KaikouraDistrict Council 

unanimously passed amotion 

moved by Cr Tony Blunt at its 

meeting on Wednesday, July 27, for 

the council to writetoLGNZ to 

express its frustration. 

Cr Blunt says LGNZ’s phased 

transition proposal did not 

represent the Kaikoura council’s 

position. 

‘‘Before you make asuggestion 

for the way forward, can you 

pleasetalk to us first. We are very 

disappointed withthat part of the 

submission.’’ 

He suggested the council should 

consider withdrawing its 

membershipofLGNZ. 

DeputyMayor Julie Howden 

says it is better to be part of a 

nationwide network, though she 

saw more value in the rural and 

provincial councilgatherings. 

‘‘We’re apart of Communities 4 

Local Democracy (C4LD) and the 

councils on thattend to feel 

there’s common good with being a 

memberofLGNZ.’’ 

Hurunui District Council chief 

executive Hamish Dobbie says 

splitting the three watersservices 

would only complicate the 

process. ‘‘Three waters are 

drinking, waste and stormwater. 

Theyare managedholistically by 

our three waters team and to split 

one off and havethe other two 

transfersomewhere elsewill lead 

to unnecessary duplication of 

resources and overheads. 

‘‘The government’s four entity 

model is already proposed to be 

moreexpensivefor consumers and 

adding another layerof 

complexityand duplication will 

add to the cost burden being 

imposed.’’ 

Waimakariri Mayor Dan Gordon 

says his council did not support 

‘‘the flawed and now forced four 

entity modelinits entirety’’. 

‘‘A delayed or phased transition 

doesn’t change the model and it’s 

this thatneeds replacing.’’ 

He says C4LD had developedan 

alternative model whichhe 

believedwould be supportedby 

communities throughout New 

Zealand. All three North 

Canterbury councils are members 

of C4LD. 

LGNZpresident StuartCrosby 

said it was clear therewas no one 

size does fits all when it came to 

managingThree Waters.The 

sector had been advocating for 

water reforms for decades. 

He says if the reformsdid not go 

through now, there was the danger 

of it beingput backinthe 

‘‘political too hardbasket’’. 

‘‘We are recommending the 

Government look at aphased 

transition to the new systemwhere 

it makes sense. 

‘‘This includes considering 

delaying transitioning stormwater 

to the new entitieswhere it works 

for councils.’’

community with avision for the 

future, saysWill Doughty. 

In his preelection report, the 

KaikouraDistrict Councilchief 

executive says the districtisin 

astrong position, despite the 

uncertaintiesofCovid19. 

The council completed its 

$40 million rebuild from the 

2016 North Canterbury 

earthquake in mid2020ontime 

and under budget, and was now 

looking to the future. 

Last year’s2021/31Long 

Term Plan (LTP) was the 

council’s ‘‘most comprehensive 

and well informedtodate’’ with 

avision of ‘‘Moving Kaikoura 

Forward’’, Mr Doughty said. 

‘‘We knowthere are a 

number of uncertainties ahead 

of us in termsofvarious 

government reforms and 

initiatives that are under way. 

‘‘This makes planning for the 

next 10 yearsachallenge, but 

we based our LTP on what we 

know now, ratherthan 

anticipating or guessing how 

things may develop. 

‘‘Onething the last few years 

has taught us is howtowork 

together to manage and adapt 

to change.’’ 

Majordevelopmentsonthe 

horizon include the openingof 

the 120 bed,five star Sudima 

HotelinOctober. 

Ahotpools, spa and wellness 

centre, new facilitiesfor the 

town’s emergency services, 

new housingsubdivisions and 

abusiness parkwere also 

proposed. 

Tourism remainedthe 

lifeblood of the district and the 

recent reopeningofthe border 

to internationaltourists was 

welcomed news for operators. 

The prospect of cruise ships 

returning thissummer and a 

link pathwayproject fromthe 

town centre to Kaikoura 

Peninsula created some 

excitement. 

Aproposed zip line 

experience and moves to apply 

for internationaldark skies 

reserve status also loom on the 

horizon. The Kaikoura Marine 

Development Project has also 

developed visions for the 

future of Wakatu Quay and the 

SouthBay Harbour. 

Mr Doughtysaid South Bay 

Harbour had the potentialto 

become an international hub 

formarine research and 

education. 

But both projects wouldcosts 

tens of millions of dollarsand 

wouldrequiremajor 

investment.

Beehive providing abuzz 

Charles Upham villageteam 

member ShellyPriest says setting 

up a‘backyard beehive’ at the 

village provides residents a 

pointer to the business of making 

honey. 

It also has wider implications of 

plant pollination in urban and 

rural settings. 

Shelly, who is acook’s assistant 

in the village kitchen, worked 

with staff member Marko 

Meingassner (previously achef at 

the village) to establish hives at 

the villageand in other North 

Canterbury locations. 

They enrolled on atertiary 

course about beekeeping, which 

includedpracticalwork at a 

apiary /classroom in Ohoka. 

Signing up to Otago Polytechnic 

meant commitment over aninemonth 

course, Shelly says. 

‘‘I’m fascinated by natureand 

by how amazing it is —just the 

benefitsofbees, and the benefits 

of honey,insomany ways. We 

need them(the bees)’’ 

Shelly and Marko, who have 

establishedabusiness 

relationship,say the bees 

resonatewith residents who had 

connections into the New 

Zealand beekeeping community 

and thosewho wanttobeinvolved 

in all differentaspects of village 

life. 

‘‘The residents were very 

excited (with the new hive). We 

had threeformerbeekeepersas 

well who were very happyfor it,’’ 

Marko says. 

Following some remote 

learning, hives were set up, with 

paraffinwaxedpine timber, on 

various properties. 

Shelly saysthe treated Russian

cook’s assistant with the beehive at Charles Upham Retirement Village. 


pine used keeps out unwanted 

insectsand pests, including 

varroa mite and American 

fowlbrood, abacterial disease. 

Shelly says she was brought up 

in South Brighton but now enjoys 

the rural settingaround 

Rangiora, where she works at the 

CharlesUphamvillage. 

Her father,untilhepassed 

away acouple of years ago, also 

lived in aretirement village.As 

an active man for most of his life 

he was frustrated at beingless 

able to get around. But the father 

and daughter’s discussion over 

beekeepinghelped stimulate 

them both. 

‘‘I would go to Dad and read 

him books aboutbees and 

things…Iwished that Ihad 

learnedaboutbees earlierand 

that we could haveput abeehive 

where he was (living). Because he 

would have loved it. 

‘‘I just think that beesengage 

people. It engages learning,it 

engages appreciation of nature.It 

engages community becauseyou 

all get together.’’ 

Marko says beesand their 

importance to the planet has been 

part of his life for as long as he 

can remember. 

As aboy in Austria,livingina 

village near Salzburg, he knew of 

the local ‘bee man’, who would 

smoke alargecigar to help with 

the calming of the bees. 

Ryman regional operations 

manager Jenny Thiele and 

Ryman property garden support 

team member Shane Fairburn 

helpedthe Charles Upham 

village to establish its first hiveon 

one of the perimeterfences.

Planning headache 

at beach settlement 



Keeping agile ... The Rangiora exercise group celebrates a25year stretch. From left 

retired physiotherapist Pam Anderson and original members Pat Bedford, Wilda Parker and 

Tom Bedford getting ready to cut the anniversary cake. 


Celebrating 25 years 

Stretching, walking, staying strong and 

having agood laugh are the benefits for 

members of aRangiora exercise class 

which celebrated its 25th anniversary 

this week. 

The class has been run twice aweek 

since it started and for the past 10 years 

recently retired physiotherapist Pam 

Anderson has taken the members 

through their paces. 

‘‘They come because they get areal 

benefit from the exercise and balance 

activities,’’ she says. 

‘‘The social contact is also important 

along with aregular weekly walking 

group.’’ 

Member Wilda Parker, aformer field 

officer for the Arthritis Society, started 

the group and recruited avisiting 

physiotherapist from the United States 

to assist with the class. 

Wilda was joined at the celebratory 

cake cutting by two other original 

members Tom and Pat Bedford. 

Under Pam’s direction the class is an 

approved strength and balance 

community group run under the 

auspices of Sport Canterbury and the 

ACC ‘Live stronger for longer’ 

programme promoting strength and 

balance programmes within the 

community for the prevention and 

reduction of falls in the older person. 

‘‘We are going strong and have acore 

group who have been coming for 10 years 

or more,’’ she says. 

Aslither of land betweentwo streetsat 

Amberley Beach is creating aplanning 

headache for Hurunui District Council 

staff. 

The council has expressed adesire to 

sell sections on Griersons Avenue, but 

council policyrelating to Amberley Beach 

means it can only sell the sections to the 

adjoining property ownersonHolton 

Road. 

In areport to last week’s council 

meeting,property and amenities planning 

team leaderSue Courtney said when 

freeholdland was first made available at 

AmberleyBeachthe minimum lot size was 

250m2. The minimumsection sizehas 

increased to 700m2 in the District Plan. 

The council madeoffers to the 

individual Holton Road property owners 

to sell the attachedGriersons Avenue 

sectionin2015. 

The property owners were advised they 

couldcontinue to use the attached 

Grierson Avenue sectionfor gardens, 

storage or drivewaysbut not buildings, if 

they chose not to buy the section. Of the 16 

GriersonsAvenuesections, nine remain 

unsold. 

Ms Courtney says four Holton Road 

properties wereusingthe attached 

Grierson Avenue sections as themain 

access to their properties. 

ResidentJames Birch, who owns 49 

GriersonsAvenueand 25 Holton Road, 

addressed councillors at last week’s 

meetingofhis desire to buy47Griersons 

Avenue and put avegetable garden on it. 

But Ms Courtneysaid the council would 

likely needtoamend the resource consent 

before selling it to him. The owner of the

Art strategy in spotlight 



The Waimakariri District Council 

has received afunding boost as it 

lookstodevelop an arts strategy. 

Staffhave been successful in 

receivinga$32,200 grant from 

Creative New Zealand to enable 

the council’s communityteam to 

facilitatethe development of a 

Waimakariri Arts Strategy. 

Communityand recreation 

manager Chris Brown saidthe 

idea for developingthe strategy 

came out of Covid19 recovery 

workshops last year. 

‘‘A numberofpeople were 

looking at ways different sectors 

couldhelp with the community’s 

recoveryfrom Covid. 

‘‘There was some recognition of 

tertiary institute. 

The notforprofit society met 

last week, and in keeping with 

its ethos of being inspirational 

and supportive of its Hurunui 

community, and provided it 

makes areasonable profit, 

decided to continue the 

scholarship programme. 

Students applying have to be 

in their final year of schooling, 

from Year 11 to Year 13, and 

graduating from aHurunui 

secondary school, or from 

homeschooling. 

The funds are to help with 

fees associated with their 

the amount of talent we have in 

the district,whether it be visual 

arts, performingarts or static arts. 

‘‘And they sawaneed for some 

strategic directiontohelp the arts 

community in the district to 

connectpeople so they know what 

each other is doing.’’ 

Mr Brownsaid there werea 

number aorganisations in the arts 

space in the district and there was 

adanger of activities being 

‘‘siloed’’. 

‘‘There’s so many different 

organisations we would be 

forgiven for not understandingthe 

differences between them, so we 

need to be more clearer around 

our visionfor art in the district. It’s 

areally cool sector and we have a 

huge amount of amazing talent.’’ 

The popularKaiapoi Art Expo 

course such as tuition fees, 

textbooks, or any course related 

costs or living costs. 

The HGF may decided to 

award the scholarship to more 

than one student, and split the 

sum between recipients.

Forestry bill fails fairness -Feds 

New rules fall short of delivering alevel 

playing field when overseas investors 

buy our farmland for forestry, 

Federated Farmers says. 

It’s a‘‘step in the right direction’’ to 

scrap the muchcriticised special 

forestry test, Feds GisborneWairoa 

President Toby Williams says. 

Instead, overseas investors 

purchasing farmed land for conversion 

to forestry would be required to meet 

the Overseas Investment Office ‘general 

benefit to New Zealand test’. 

‘‘But it will continue to be an uneven 

landuse playing field because investors 

buying farmland to continue to raise 

crops and livestock run up against the 

much more stringent Farm Land Benefit 

test.’’ 

Speaking to the Finance & 

Friday 6pm & replayed at 12pm Sunday 

Expenditure Select Committee on the 

Overseas Investment (Forestry) 

Amendment Bill, Mr Williams said the 

general benefit test that would apply to 

farmland to forestry conversions 

‘‘provides aslightly higher hurdle but it 

is nothing like as onerous as the 

farmland test’’. 

‘‘In our view it’s very strange that 

conversions of farmland will not, under 

this Bill, be considered under the 

farmland test. Farmland is farmland 

after all.’’ 

Mr Williams Gisborne province is just 

one that has been hit hard by farmed 

land being snapped up for forestry, 

including ‘carbononly’ notforharvest 

blanket pine afforestation. Feds 

believes the pace of conversion in large 

part is because of distortionary 

government policies and incentives. 

According to an independent study 

commissioned by Beef +Lamb NZ, in 

2017, 3965 hectares of entire sheep and 

beef farms were sold into forestry. That 

jumped to 20,227ha in 2018 and 36,824 in 

2019. 

The dampening impacts and 

uncertainty of Covid saw adecrease to 

24,864 of farmland sold for forestry in 

2020, and 14,219 in the first six months of 

last year. 

The researchers said based on 

discussions with real estate agents, land 

sales across 2021 were expected to 

exceed those of 2019 meaning an 

amount of exotic planting that will far 

exceed what the Climate Change 

Commission projected as asustainable 

amount (25,000 ha/pa). 

Mr Williams told the select committee 

that when productive farmland is 

swallowed up by forestry especially 

pines planted just for carbon credits 

that are not pruned and eventually 

harvested the cuts into the lifeblood of 

rural communities are deep. 

‘‘With fewer people on the land there 

is less employment, rural schools close, 

supporting businesses such as 

meatworks, fertiliser and transport 

depots fail, there are fewer volunteers 

for fire brigades, sports club, etc. 

‘‘Decline escalates, and it’s harder to 

attract staff and shearing gangs to the 

farms that struggle on. Those looking to 

buy farmland are outbid by forestry 

investors chasing carbon income by a 

factor of two or three,’’ he said. 

There is no guarantee that overseas 

companies who say today they will 

harvest trees planted, having reaped 

years of carbon credit income, will still 

be around 1520 years hence to meet 

those undertakings. 

‘‘By allowing overseas investors to buy 

land, convert to forestry, sell credits and 

take the funds back off shore you are 

allowing wealthy overseas investors the 

opportunity to get richer through the 

ETS. All while the most vulnerable in 

NZ rural communities suffer through 

loss of jobs, schools and communities,’’ 

Mr Williams said. —Federated Farmers

Redwood touted 

BY JAMIE GRAY 

Pinus radiata has been the goto 

species for New Zealand’s vast 

plantationforestestate for wellover 

100 years, but another Californian 

import—coastal redwood —is 

gaining ground. 

The species,also known as Sequoia 

sempervirens, has risen in popularity 

to the point whereseedlings are now 

in short supply. 

Most redwood is concentrated in 

the North Island, and there are some 

large plantations in the King Country. 

Dr MichaelWatt,principal scientist 

at Scion —acrownresearch institute 

—said therehad beenasustained 

planting effort since2000. 

About10,000haofredwood had 

been established sincethat time. 

With the current emphasison 

planting forest for carbon, the 

potentialwas therefor redwood to 

make up much moreofthe estate than 

the current 1percent, which 

compared with 90% for radiata, Dr 

Watt said. 

‘‘There has been amassiveincrease 

in ordersfor seedlings over the last 

year,’’ he said. 

‘‘Some nurseries are working at 

capacity now. 

‘‘There is astrong likelihood thatit 

will pick up in the future.’’ 

Therewas ‘‘virtually no wilding 

risk’’ with redwood and it was a 

healthy specieswith no major insect 

or disease problems, he said. 

It was also resistant to fire and wind 

damage. 

Redwood was agood choice for 

erosion control because the species’ 

rootslockedtogether, whichhelped 

to stabilise soil, he said. 

Dr Watt admitted that radiata pine 

ticked alot of boxesfor foresters 

because of its high growth rate. 

‘‘However,the growth rate of 

radiata pine declines after 30 years, 

whichmay limit our abilitytobuild 

enduring carbon stocks if we 

establish large areasofthis species as 

permanent carbon forests,’’ he said. 

‘‘Establishment of native forests 

has been widely advocated and these 

species provide important ecosystem 

services and cultural value. 

‘‘However,asnativetrees grow alot 

slower thanexotic species, 

particularlyover the short term, it 

will be difficult to reach netzero 

emissions by 2050 usingahigh 

proportion of planted native 

species.’’ 

Although the current debate about 

reaching netzero emissions was 

polarised regarding the 

establishment of radiata pine or 

natives,there were other optionsthat 

couldrapidlysequester carbon over 

both the short and long term. 

Redwood was one of the most 

promisingofthoseoptions, Dr Watt 

said. 

Redwood had been foundtostore 

more carbon than forests dominated 

by any other species and was able to 

maintainhigh growth rates over 

hundreds of years. 

Individuals within the species 

included some of the oldest and 

tallest livingtrees on Earth, which 

had reached ages exceeding 2200 

yearsand heights of 115m.

FORESTRY 


Natives plantings nice, but not the solution 

The Forest Owners Association says the 

just released Emissions Reduction Plan 

(ERP) is awelcome and unprecedented 

blueprint for reducing New Zealand’s 

gross emissions. 

But the association is warning that a 

huge emphasis in the ERP on planting 

native trees ignores how urgent it is to 

deal with the climate change crisis. 

The Forest Owners Association 

President, Grant Dodson, says he, and 

just about every other New Zealander, 

are fans of native trees and would like to 

see more of them planted. 

‘‘They are our original land cover. 

Indigenous trees are deeply imbedded 

in our culture. Species, such as rimu, 

kauri and puriri are fantastic trees and 

produce great timber and wood. 

‘‘But native trees are not capable of 

reducing our net emissions in any 

substantial degree this side of next 

century. They grow too slowly,’’ Mr 

Dodson says. 

In many cases, expectations of carbon 

sequestration from natives are 

overstated in the current official data 

tables. 

‘‘That makes the problem worse.’’ 

Mr Dodson says it is afact of life that 

exotics, such as pines or eucalypts, do a 

much faster job of locking up 

atmospheric carbon. 

That’s why the Climate Change 

Commission last year budgeted another 

380,000 hectares of additional exotic 

planting by 2035. 

‘‘Native trees are adecoration in 

climate change efficiency terms. Agreat 

decoration to be true. But adecoration 

nonetheless. In fighting climate change 

we need tools not decorations. 

‘‘We could plant enough huge areas to 

get some carbon volumes from native 

trees earlier than the year 2100. But I’m 

sure farmers wouldn’t like millions of 

hectares of farmland going into kowhai 

• Land Clearing 

• Road maintenance/ 

Construction 

• General Cartage 

• Driveways/house sites 

• Tree trimming and 

removal 

• We buy standing trees 

or tutu. 

Mr Dodson says it is expensive and 

difficult to establish forests of mixed 

native trees. 

‘‘Browsers, such as possums eat them. 

Weeds, such as old mans beard, grow all 

over them.’’ 

He says future planting is always 

going to be amix of both native and 

exotic. 

‘‘Native trees have their place. But 

there is ahuge income opportunity for 

farmers from fast growing exotic trees. 

‘‘There are very compelling economic 

benefits to New Zealand if we diversify 

farm revenues this way,’’ Mr Dodson 

says. 

‘‘We especially welcome the 

government’s plan to expand forestry 

extension services and invest in 

bioenergy. 

‘‘But we seriously caution the focus on 

native plantings as away to help solve 

the climate emergency.’’

native plants have been planted along the

The threeyear action plan is part of 

the committee’s efforts to work towards 

improving freshwater quality in the 

district through support and 

engagement with community groups, 

chairperson Michael Blackwell says. 

Local groups have received $50,000 

from Environment Canterbury (ECan) 

over the last 12 months to support 

projects in the zone. 

The Waimakariri Biodiversity Trust 

has received $5,000 to host avisioning 

workshop and go towards employing a 

coordinator to support locals who want 

to restore areas of native biodiversity on 

their land. 

The Taranaki Stream inanga 

spawning improvement initiative has 

received $8,560 to help restore inanga 

spawning habitat, increase mahinga kai 

values, reduce sediment and control 

erosion in Taranaki Stream, near 

Waikuku Beach. 

The $23,000 project is supported by 

the Waimakariri District Council and 

ECan’s Fish Habitat Fund and is 

expected to be completed in September. 

It will focus on 105 metres of stream 

bank requiring regrading and planting 

to restore the area and allow native fish 

species to thrive.

With Taine JacobsLawson landing two

Butwhenthe drizzlearrivedatthe 20

They both showedthe benefit of finals 

experience and had ahuge impactonthe

Theforwards, too,did theirbit. 

Oneparticularly effective rollingmaul 

putHurunui underalot of pressureand 

skipper Jacob Hurring declined a 

possible penalty opportunity. 

Thesetactics were rewarded after 25 

minutes whenprop, Zac Andrews,took a 

quick tapand barged overwideout for 

what was to prove to be theonly try of the 

match. 

Asecond penalty to McKenzie left 

Kaiapoi withan116 halftimelead.

JacobsLawson andGrimes continued 

to play for territory and as Hurunuihad to

errors, already higherthanusual, started 

to mountup. 

Kaiapoi has beenwell servedbyits

Kaikoura defenceagainresulting in Dave 

Pollard beingdriven over to score. 

In between time, Kaikoura scored four 

tries afterits backline showed why as a 

teamunit they havecontrolledmostof 

their gamesthisseason. 

Their first try was scored by leftwing by 

Fergus Hislop,afterthe ballwas swung

Afeatureofthe Kaikouraplaywas the 

ability of the midfieldpairing of David

tackle situation.

Division 1Plate: Saracens 

vOhoka 

Saracensexacted some revenge forlosing 

theDeansShield to Ohoka at itsprevious 

meeting,inflictinga205 defeat on the 

home teaminthe Luisetti Seeds Division 

1Plate. 

Saracensbegan as if it meant business, 

moving theball nicely to puteachofits 

wingers in foranearly trytostamp 

authority on thematch. 

Ohokatightened its defenceand 

stemmedthe flowbut at no stagedid the 

resultever lookindoubt. 

An interesting feature of the gameis 

that fivetries were scored,but not one of 

them converted–amostunusual statistic, 

especially considering thatthe Allin 

brothers, Ricky forSaracens andScott for 

Ohoka, are usuallythe mostreliable of 

sharpshooters. 

In fairness to them, mostofthe tries 

were scored wideout. 

Saracens 20 (Lemuel Hill,OllieBithray, 

Alex Kennedy, LachieGranttries) beat 

Ohoka 5 (BlainO’Loughlin,try).

Private PC31 Submission Period Extended 

Waimakariri District Council has announced that 

the submission period for Private Plan Change 31 

will be extended by five workings days, with 

submissions closing at 5pm, Friday 12 August. 

Private Plan Change 31 proposes to rezone land in 

Ohoka from rural into aresidential development of 

up to 850 new households, with space for apossible 

school, retirement village and commercial area. 

The application was publicly notified on 

6July 2022 with an original submission period 

of 20 working days. 

The decision to extend the submission period was 

ratified last week with Council determining an 

extension was reasonable given the combined 

potential impacts of COVID-19, flu and school 

holidays, and concerns from the community about 

the scale and wide-ranging issues raised by the 

proposed plan change. 

The Council concluded that allowing an extension 

of five working days would provide for the 

interests of the community by affording a 

reasonable opportunity to lodge submissions, 

without causing unreasonable delay or prejudice to 

the applicant. 

Submissions close at 5pm, Friday 12 August. 

Council Takes Next Step in Climate 

Change Response 

Waimakariri District Council recently adopted a 

Climate Change Scenario Technical Report. The 

report prepared by the National Institute of 

Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA), is to 

inform Council’s climate change response in the 

Waimakariri District. 

This report identified that weather patterns 

are expected to become more volatile. Annual 

average temperatures are expected to increase 

with more extreme warm temperatures, less frost 

days and less snow. 

The warmer atmosphere will hold more moisture, 

so mean annual rainfall is predicted to increase, 

apart from in the higher-altitude areas to the west, 

but some of this increase will be in the form of 

more frequent heavy rainfall events. 

The District is likely to experience more frequent 

and prolonged droughts due to increased 

temperatures and wind speeds, more flooding 

from rainfall events, and some changes in our 

coastal areas with sea level rise. 

In late 2019 Council adopted aClimate Change 

Policy to ensure it was able to respond to climate 

change challenges appropriately and internal 

sustainable strategies were developed to ensure 

Council got its own house in order. The NIWA report 

now provides Council with abroader picture of the 

predicted effects of climate change at aDistrict 

level. This will provide crucial information for future 

strategies and plans around climate change. 

Council is currently refreshing its climate change 

forward work programme. This includes carrying 

out arisk assessment to see what land and 

infrastructure is most at risk and working with the 

community to identify options for reducing this 

risk. This will form the basis of aClimate Change 

Adaptation Strategy. 

Council will be calculating an emissions profile for 

the District, developing its own emissions reduction 

plan and encouraging residents, businesses and 

communities within the District to come onthis 

journey with us. Other projects include transitioning 

more of Council’s vehicle fleet over time toelectric 

vehicles, planting 25,000 plants this year in reserves 

to assist carbon sequestration, and investigating 

other opportunities for carbon sequestration on 

Council-owned land.

“The Key of knowledge...” (Luke 11:52) 

WHY THE GOSPEL IS 

RELEVANT TODAY! 

2502534 

Why is the Gospel relevant today? the word of God says, 

that he has seen us and wants to offer us the benefits 

contained in the Gospel message. His desire is to bless 

this world by filling it with his glory, the result ofwhich 

will be everlastingpeace and righteousness. The Gospel 

is an invitation by almighty God to each and every one 

of us, if we would but hear the message and obey. 

Where else is there offered asolution toall mankind’s 

suffering? The good tidings are the only words of hope 

at this time. “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came 

into Galilee, preaching the gospel ofGod, and saying 

“The time is fulfilled, and the kingdomofGod is at hand; 

repentand believe in the gospel” Mark 1:14-15.
