Time to tidy up: Derelict 

buildings a ‘festering sore’ 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

FRUSTRATION is growing 

among residents as derelict 

buildings continue to sit vacant 

in New Brighton. 

New Brighton Residents 

Association acting chair Brian 

Donovan said enough is 

enough – it’s time for landlords 

to clean up their vacant 

buildings. 

Donovan said the association 

has been approached by many 

residents over the past few 

years with complaints of large 

potholes in car parks and debris 

flying off roofs of old vacant 

buildings. 

“People just continue to be 

frustrated. It’s been a festering 

sore, I guess you could say.” 

Donovan said he has 

contacted the landlords to tell 

them about vandalism and 

safety issues with the buildings, 

but said they tend not to answer 

his calls now. 

“They don’t seem to be 

interested in doing anything, 

not even tidying up their 

buildings,” he said. 

The owner of the old 

SaveMart building said he 

has plans to incorporate 

development with the Oram 

Ave extension plan and is 

having discussions with the city 

council about this now. 

The plan, which was approved 

in 2016, would see Oram 

UNIMPRESSED: New Brighton Residents Association acting chair Brian Donovan outside the former SaveMart 

building in New Brighton. Donovan says its time for landlords to clean up the derelict buildings dotted around 

the suburb.

Ave extended to Hawke St to 

revitalise the suburb. 

“I was down there last week . . 

. It’s in the preliminary stages 

at this point, but we do intend 

to develop that section,” the 

owner said. 

The owner said he expects 

to see some progress on 

development when the “world 

becomes a bit more normal” 

again. 

Other vacant building 

owners did not respond to 

Pegasus Post. 

City council head of 

sustainable city growth and 

property Bruce Rendall said the 

city council purchased the old 

Westpac building, adjoining the 

old SaveMart building, last year 

as part of a long-term plan for 

the Oram Ave extension.

Grant to combat break ins and vandalism 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

FUNDING TO cover costs of 

security equipment means a 

community group can get long 

awaited projects under way. 

The grant of $8728 will go 

towards locks, flood lights, a 

monitored security system and 

drills on doors to prevent break 

ins and vandalism around the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor. 

The grant was approved by 

the Waikura Linwood-Central- 

Heathcote Community Board at 

its latest meeting. 

Avon-Ōtākaro River network 

manager Hayley Guglietta said 

the grant gives the group certainty 

around beginning projects 

that have been in the works for a 

while. 

“We didn’t want to do all that 

work and then have it ruined 

again,” she said. 

The group has had trouble in 

the past with items being stolen 

from the grounds and vandalism 

and graffiti. 

In May the group had a handmade 

tabletop stolen from a children’s 

playground project and 

had “almost every hard surface” 

along River Rd graffitied over the 

school holidays last month. 

Guglietta said this behaviour 

will hopefully stop when security 

equipment is installed and will 

bring more people to the area 

once projects are set up. 

“Security isn’t the be all and 

end all but it’s activation . . . more

people coming through means 

hopefully less vandalism because 

people wont want to do it when 

there’s others around.” 

The projects include a community 

cafe on the edge of the 

river with a real fruit ice cream 

machine, made with fruit foraged 

by the group and preserved 

in jars over the last three years. 

The cafe will also have a sustainable 

focus with no takeaway 

cups, seeing customers taking 

away proper mugs and dropping 

them off at stations around the 

area which will be collected by

“It’s super exciting and it’s 

going to be awesome for people 

who are wanting to explore the 

Ōtākaro, they’ll be able to grab a 

coffee at the beginning or ending 

of their walk,” Guglietta said. 

Community board chair Alexandra 

Davids said she has seen 

a lot of break ins in this area, 

which puts community groups 

on the backfoot. 

“I think for us to have an 

impact on a community organisation 

that gives so much to the 

community is important,” she 

said. 

Guglietta said the income from 

the cafe will allow the group to 

expand and continue introducing 

more community projects in 

the area. 

“It just means we can push on 

with something we’ve been working 

on for a long time,” she said.

and upwards.”

From swimming lessons to instructor 

IN 2002, a five-year-old Nick 

Weir jumped into the pool at 

Pioneer Recreation and Sport 

Centre for one of the first ever 

Swimsmart lessons. 

Now marking the 20 years of 

the city council programme, 

Weir has gone from pupil to 

teacher as the swim education 

team leader at Te Pou Toetoe: 

Linwood Pool. 

“I remember it was such a fun 

environment when I was a kid. 

The mix of learning a valuable 

skill but not really realising it 

because it was so much fun,” he 

said. 

From five to 14-years-old, 

Weir was part of the Swimsmart 

programme and two years 

later he got his first job as an 

instructor. 

“I’ve navigated my way 

• From page 1 

Rendall said the city council is 

having ongoing discussions with 

the old SaveMart building owner 

about this planned development. 

Donovan said some vacant 

buildings’ windows have had 

bricks thrown through them, 

while other buildings had been 

graffitied. 

He also said an elderly woman 

had fallen over in the car park 

area on Hawke St, trying to 

navigate her way around the 

through the ocean that is swim 

education, first and foremost 

being a swimmer, becoming an 

instructor, supervisor and then 

most recently becoming the 

team leader at Te Pou Toetoe,” 

Weir said. 

“I was definitely inspired by 

my years taking part in lessons. 

The more kids enjoy swimming 

lessons, the more they learn and 

that was the case for me.” 

In his current role he likes 

having the opportunity to teach 

and pass on the knowledge that 

I’ve acquired to new instructors. 

“Giving them the necessary 

skills to continue to teach our 

rangatahi and to continue give 

back to the community an 

essential life skill. My passion is 

helping people and if I can do so 

by continuing to help keep our 

potholes. 

“It’s absolutely shocking, I 

have no idea how they’ve gotten 

away with that, from a health 

and safety point of view it’s just 

dangerous.” 

Coastal Ward councillor Celeste 

Donovan said she’s lobbied 

to have the new rating scheme 

for vacant land in the central city 

applied to New Brighton. 

The rating scheme, approved 

by the city council in June, sees 

owners of empty central city 

tamariki safe in the water that 

to me is a job well done,” he 

said. 

“The Swimsmart programme 

has a focus on learning how to 

be safe in and around the water. 

If we can help kids become 

confident and help prevent 

drownings that is what’s most 

important.” 

But even now he never misses 

an opportunity to pop his togs 

on and jump in the pool to help 

teach the odd lesson. 

“This job is something that I 

absolutely love and have loved 

watching children and adults 

grow in their confidence and 

ability over the years,” he said. 

“There’s a real sense of feeling 

like what we do has a positive 

impact on the community. Te 

Pou Toetoe and our work is 

blocks pay more than four times 

the standard general rate, but 

only if there is no active or consented 

use being made of 

the land. 

“It’s really important 

that we don’t forget we 

have the same issues in 

suburban areas,” she said. 

“We need to use the 

same policy letters to 

encourage the right kinds 

of development in areas 

such as New Brighton that might 

making people’s lives better.” 

Christchurch Recreation and 

Sports Centres are marking 

the 20 years of Swimsmart by 

profiling 20 people who have 

been involved in the programme. 

have suffered from a long history 

of land banking too.” 

She said the scheme is about 

encouraging developers 

and people that own the 

properties to “do the right 

thing”. 

Brian Donovan said 

landlords’ decision to not 

do anything with their 

buildings was further 

delaying the regeneration 

of New Brighton. 

“If you don’t want to sell, you

Donovan 

develop; if you don’t want to 

develop, you sell. You know, it 

seems like the simple equation 

to me.” 

He said the future of New 

Brighton “depends” on these 

landlords to make a difference 

after “years and years” of these 

buildings sitting vacant. 

“They either play ball or just 

get out and if they don’t get out 

and we have to somehow find the 

matters to force them out, that’s 

the situation where it’s got to.”

Competition an opportunity for 

Gabby Sanders is travelling 

to Australia to compete 

for a golden chef’s hat 

award. Reporter Emily 

Moorhouse talks to 

Sanders about her unlikely 

favourite foods as a child, 

her thought process 

behind a successful menu 

and why she is passionate 

about cooking 

263 x 180 

PASSIONATE: Gabby Sanders has always had an interest in cooking and says food can be used as a way to bring people together. 

GABBY SANDERS remembers 

trying to help her mum in the 

kitchen when she was a little girl 

was probably “quite annoying”. 

But fast forward 20 years and 

that curiosity in the kitchen has 

paid off – next month she will be 

in Melbourne representing the 

South Island in the grand finals of 

the 2022 Nestlé Golden Chef’s Hat 

Award. 

Sanders, 23, won gold at the 

regional heats to qualify for the 

grand finals, held at Ara Institute 

of Canterbury, where she is 

studying towards a diploma in 

cookery level 5. 

She received gold for her twocourse 

menu of hoisin glaze pork, 

black vinegar dumpling and 

umami broth and a dessert of chai 

spice cake with pear, coffee, pecan 

and white chocolate. 

“It was surreal, it didn’t actually 

feel real because I wasn’t expecting 

it to happen at all,” Sanders said.

passionate junior chef to shine 

She had competed in the heats 

last year, narrowly missing out on 

bronze so wanted to really push 

herself this year. 

Sanders will be competing 

against 12 other chefs, with 

one other chef from the North 

Island and the rest from all over 

Australia. 

The winner will be awarded an 

AU$10,000 cash prize, something 

Sanders said would be an amazing 

opportunity to help expand 

her cooking equipment. 

“I’d be able to go out and immerse 

myself in the food culture 

in Christchurch and around New 

Zealand a wee bit more which 

would be fantastic as well.” 

While Sanders has always had 

an interest in cooking, she never 

considered it to be her professional 

career. 

After leaving Lincoln High 

School, Sanders worked full-time 

at a supermarket, still figuring 

out what she wanted to do. 

Her co-worker Jeremy, who was 

going through a career change 

to be a chef, encouraged her to 

study cookery, so she decided to 

give it a go and enrolled at Ara. 

Sanders said she is still in 

contact with Jeremy and he was 

stoked to hear about her securing 

a spot in the grand finals competition. 

Sanders said her mother is an 

“amazing” cook and growing up, 

she was encouraged to eat like an 

adult and try new things. 

HELPING HAND: As a child, Gabby Sanders loved to help 

her mother out in the kitchen. Here she is at three-yearsold 

with a cake. 

“We’d always be pushed to try 

new things. As a kid some of my 

favourite foods were blue cheese 

and pâté and olives which lots of 

kids don’t really enjoy. 

“I really like how food sort of 

brings people together, it’s something 

to enjoy with a group.” 

Sanders lives with her partner 

in St Albans and when asked 

if they enjoy her cooking she 

laughed. 

“You’d think so but we eat a lot 

of curries and baked beans and 

stuff, just general easy dinners.” 

Although, she did say she’s 

been enjoying cooking heavy, 

richer meals during the colder 

weather, such as lamb shanks and 

beef stew. 

She said the most challenging 

thing to cook is anything she’s 

unfamiliar with as it can take a 

while to get her head around it. 

“I think the hardest thing to 

make is probably something 

you’re too scared to have a go at . 

. . [but] the only thing worse than 

messing something up is just not 

trying in the first place.” 

Sanders is “hesitantly confident” 

for the grand finals and 

while she’s excited to give it a go, 

she’s also still processing it all. 

During the regional heats, 

chefs were judged on presentation, 

taste and the use of ingredients 

down to how clean they 

are in the kitchen, general food 

handling and how much food 

they waste. 

“You’re being watched the 

whole time, it’s a bit scary,” Sanders 

said. 

For each competition, chefs are 

given a set ingredient list which 

they have to build their menu 

around. 

Sanders said she likes to sit 

down and brainstorm what flavours 

would work well together 

then, with the help of her tutors, 

figure out the best way to execute 

each piece of the dish. 

“You can always tweak it and 

improve it and everyone’s taste is 

different,” she said. 

“It’s a group effort to get 

something down that majority of 

people would enjoy eating.” 

Sanders works on what the 

dish will look like last, once she’s 

nailed the taste. 

“The way it tastes is the most 

important because it could look 

amazing and just taste awful and 

there’s not much point in that.” 

As for kitchen fails, nothing 

sprung to mind for Sanders, 

although she admitted she has 

dropped and burnt her fair share 

of things. 

“When you mess something 

up it’s how you deal with it and 

make it work in the end, it’s 

always a really good learning 

experience because when you 

make a big mistake you’re always 

going to remember it and not do 

it again.” 

Outside of study, Sanders 

works part-time at The Monday 

Room as a commis chef, a job 

she scored from completing work 

experience there as part of her 

study. 

As a commis chef, Sanders 

assists the other chefs with food 

preparation, particularly working 

on entrées and desserts, although 

she said she likes to give everything 

a go. 

When Sanders graduates she 

said she’s open to moving around 

a bit and maybe spending some 

time overseas but for now she is 

happy where she is, doing what 

she loves.

Add some zing to your roast beef 

A spicy marinade is 

a good way to add 

something different 

to a traditional meal 

Whisky marinade for beef 

Serves 3-4 

Ingredients 

1 cup chopped pitted dates 

¼ cup orange juice 

1 cup peeled and diced orange 

3 cups self-raising flour 

¼ tsp salt 

50gm chilled butter, chopped 

1½ cups milk, warmed 

2 tbsp cane sugar 

Ingredients 

Directions 

¼ cup whisky 

2 tbsp prepared mustard 

3-4 tbsp olive oil 

400g beef fillet 

freshly ground black pepper 

1 cup beef stock 

1 tbsp thyme leaves 

Directions 

Whisk whisky, mustard and 3 

tbsp of olive oil until well combined. 

Place beef in a plastic bag. 

Add marinade. Refrigerate for

Rest for 10min before slicing. 

Bring marinade, stock and 

thyme to the boil. Simmer for 

10min. Serve with the meat.

100gm almonds, roasted and 

salted 

2 tsp lemon juice 

1 tbsp fresh herbs, such as parsley, 

oregano, marjoram, finely 

chopped 

1 cup creme fraiche 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 220 deg C. 

Arrange the tomatoes in a dish. 

Drizzle over the oil, sprinkle 

the salt, pepper and brown sugar. 

Finely slice the garlic and add 

with the rosemary. 

Bake for 20min then let cool. 

Combine the butter beans 

with the watercress. Arrange 

on a platter or individual dishes 

then add the tomatoes and the 

almonds. 

Mix together the creme 

fraiche, lemon juice and herbs. 

Spoon over the salad before 

serving. 

Date and orange scones 

Serves 6 to 8 

Heat oven to 210 deg C. Line a 

baking tray with baking paper. 

In a bowl, combine the 

chopped dates with the orange 

juice and cover with plastic wrap. 

Microwave for 1-2 minutes, until 

the dates absorb the orange juice. 

Add the diced orange. 

Sift the flour and salt into a 

bowl. Rub in the butter until the 

mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. 

Add the warm milk to the 

date and orange mixture, stir to 

combine then mix quickly into 

the flour with a spatula. Do not 

knead. 

Turn out on to a floured 

bench. Dust the top with flour 

and pat out to an even rectangle 

about 2.5cm thick with your 

hands. 

Cut the mixture into squares 

or rounds. Place the scones on 

the prepared tray. 

Sprinkle with the sugar. Bake 

for about 20min.

We have hit the ground 

running in Term 3 and are 

already enjoying significant 

success with many of the 

projects we have running 

for ākonga. The Ministry of 

Education arranged for a 

film crew to visit the kura 

in Week 2 of the term to 

capture footage of the day to 

day life of ākonga in the kura 

within Kōmanawa - Māori 

medium. Whānau participated 

in interviews to give voice to 

the dreams, aspirations and 

expectations they have around 

ako/teaching and learning 

for their tamariki. We look 

forward to viewing the end 

product and sharing that with you through our 

website. 

It was with a real sense of excitement that 

we partnered with Ko Māui Hangarau on 

Thursday, 4th August 2022 to present the 

Māori Tech Innovators and Entrepreneurs 

Summit. The event was designed to capture 

the hearts and minds of Rangatahi who have 

an interest in Digital Innovation, Technology 

and Entrepreneurship. Rangatahi had the 

opportunity to meet some of the best Māori 

Tech Innovators and Entrepreneurs in the 

country here at Haeata. 

It was exciting to have Tom Aleasna at kura on 

Monday, 1 August 2022 to assist ākonga with 

Kapa Haka. Tom wrote the kura haka and a 

selection of original waiata specifically for our 

ākonga. He is a taonga and we 

are grateful for his awhi in that 

space. 

A huge thank you to kaimahi 

and whānau for their support 

of our ākonga during the 

Matariki celebrations. It was 

wonderful to see the displays 

of ākonga work and to host so 

many people at kura for the 

celebrations. 

Finally, I hope that you have 

put your name forward for the 

Haeata Board. Governance 

is an exciting wero and a 

platform for increasing skills, 

confidence and community 

engagement. Thank you for all 

your wonderful support of our 

kura, its kaimahi and ākonga. Kaha ake tahi - we 

are stronger together! 

Ko Haeata Tātou! 

Kia kaha, kia toa, kia manawanui 

He tangata ki tahi.

Manukura 

Hikuawa & Kaunuku Update: 

Manu Tukutuku for Matariki 

He manu aute e taea 

te whakahoro! 

A flying-kite made of paper mulberry 

bark can be made to fly fast! 

In Term 2, ākonga across Years 1-8 in 

Hikuawa and Kaunuku hapori learned 

about the important role that kites have 

always played for Māori throughout 

history and in particular during the winter 

season when they were flown to signify 

the start of Matariki, the Māori New Year. 

The Māori kite is called manu tukutuku or 

manu aute – manu translates as either kite 

or bird. Kites were also known as pākau, 

a name for the wing of a bird. 

Haeata Services Academy NZDF Bushcraft 

Course 2022 

What is Bushcraft? 

Bushcraft is to successfully tramp, camp, hike, 

plan a tramp, navigate and survive in the New 

Zealand wilderness which if not prepared could 

kill you. 

The NZDF bushcraft course is managed by the 

(New Zealand Defence Force), and this year 

the training was held at Orton Bradley Park 

from 27th June to the 1st July 2022. 

40 young people from 3 different schools 

attend the course through the Services 

Academy’s of their schools, Aurora College, 

Grey High and Haeata students arrived on a 

cool Monday afternoon, and waiting for them 

were members of the Youth Life Skills team 

from Burnham Military Camp. 

Time was not being wasted as students were 

into their first lesson on tent construction, 

then layering and so on to capturing water and 

stretcher construction, to leading a tramp. 

The frosty early wake ups and rainy late nights 

took a toll on the group however they worked 

well together to get through, showing resilience 

and time management, and after the 5 days the 

group of young people did well, with leaders 

emerging and everyone stepping up. 

The course was challenging and tough for the 

group, they got through it as best as they could, 

and because of the course of the challenge 

they learnt a lot about themselves, and of 

the dangers of not being prepared in the NZ 

backcountry and bush. 

The course is to practise and prepare for the 

coast to coast adventure challenge later in the 

term run again by the NZDF. 

Towards the end of term 2 we celebrated 

the start of our Matariki Public Holiday, 

the first ever in Aotearoa on June 24 

and we made some manu tukutuku to 

signify this important event. We had to 

test which materials were the best for 

flying and how we could gather and use 

traditional materials and follow tikanga. 

Some ākonga focused 

their manu tukutuku to 

represent one of the atua 

and what is associated 

with that atua - so they 

designed the atua and then 

drew pictures around them 

- eg. Tane Mahuta trees/ 

birds etc.

37 PORT HILLS ROAD | HOME IN HEATHCOTE VALLEY 

It's a wonderful feeling inspecting a HOME which presents well, leaving 

you more time to imagine what your life would be like living there, rather 

than what you need to fix before moving in. 

The HOME itself has oodles of character and charm: the perfect HOME to 

raise a family for years to come, ideal for those who adore character homes.

586 M2 

(MORE OR LESS) 

Then there are the bedrooms. All rooms are quite capable of fitting kingsized 

beds and the high ceilings make you feel like you have an abundance 

of space. 

Greeted by an oversized door which then opens into a large entranceway, 

the immediate feeling of space creates an inviting feeling. The kitchen, 

dining, and main living space are filled with natural light, and the openplan 

nature of the HOME emphasizes the functional floor plan. With all the 

hard work completed, you can start to appreciate this wonderful HOME. 

For the keen gardener, there is enough yard to satisfy your green thumb, 

install a vegetable patch or keep some chooks. 

Location wise could not get much better. You have the sought-after local 

school and pre-school all minutes away. You are only 6 minutes from 

Lyttelton, and due to the main ring roads, you are only 10 minutes away 

from the CBD. You also have local conveniences a short stroll away and 

some of Christchurch's best walking and biking tracks on your doorstep.
