• By Chris Barclay 

ZACH TUCKER has accelerated 

past another career goal, with the 

talented Medbury School kart 

racer winning overseas at the first 

attempt. 

The 11-year-old kept his nerve 

after being overtaken late in final 

of his cadet 12 class at the City 

of Melbourne Titles on Sunday, 

coolly executing a passing manoeuvre 

as the chequered flag 

loomed at the end of 17 hotlycontested 

laps. 

Zach, who represents New 

Zealand at October’s ROK 

Superfinal in Italy, qualified in 

pole position at the culmination 

of two days of racing in his 

36-strong division. 

“There was lots of pressure. I 

led all the way until the third to 

last corner but I passed him back 

on the hair pin with one corner to 

go,” he said. 

“I’m very proud of our team 

and I really appreciate all the 

messages of support from friends 

and family,” he said. 

Zach qualified to race in Italy 

after defending his Vortex Mini 

ROK national title in Wellington 

in June. 

Before racing overseas for 

the first time, Tucker also secured 

his first national schools title 

in Invercargill, claiming the 

Vortex Mini ROX crown last 

month. 

Zach’s coach Matt Hamilton 

was convinced he was destined 

to achieve his long-term goal of 

emulating Shane van Gisbergen 

and driving across the Tasman in 

the Supercars Championship. 

“I’ve no doubt Zach has what 

it takes to succeed. Over the past 

three seasons he’s been almost 

unbeatable.”

Australian title for karter Zach 

QUICK LEARNER: Talented kart racer Zach Tucker made a smooth transition to 

Australian circuits, winning his class at the City of Melbourne Titles last weekend. 

Message 

in a bottle 

found 

inside war 

memorial 

A HAND-written note listing 

the names of the original 

stonemasons who worked on the 

Citizens’ War Memorial has been 

found inside the monument’s 

concrete core. 

The 85-year-old note was tightly 

rolled-up inside a glass bottle that 

was found when the memorial was 

being deconstructed. 

The memorial has been restored 

and relocated to a new spot in 

Cathedral Square, near where the 

police kiosk used to be. 

“It was a fluke discovery,” city 

council head of vertical capital 

delivery Brent Smith said. 

“The contractor was working on 

dismantling the concrete core of 

the memorial when a big chunk of 

concrete broke off, revealing the 

glass bottle. 

“If the concrete had not broken 

in that exact spot, we would never 

have found it.” 

The glass bottle was handedover 

to a team of conservators 

from Canterbury Museum who 

delicately drilled through the 

bottle’s glass stopper to reach the 

note inside. 

However, the neck of the bottle 

was too narrow and the note too 

fragile because some moisture had 

seeped in. 

They had to wait several weeks 

for the rolled-up piece of paper 

to dry out before they could have 

another go at extracting it.

The new housing complex will include a mix of mostly two-storey one, two, three, four and five-bedroom units. A communal garden and play area and 

plenty of recreational green space will also feature in the new redevelopment. 

Old houses make way for new homes 

CONSTRUCTION is beginning 

this month on a new Kāinga 

Ora housing redevelopment in 

Bryndwr. 

Kāinga Ora Homes and 

Communities (formerly known 

as Housing New Zealand) is 

building 34 new dry, warm 

homes for people in need on the 

empty 8124 sq m block of land 

bordered by Clyde and Aorangi 

Rds and Bevin Pl. 

There will be a mix of 

mostly two-storey one to five 

bedroom units in the complex, 

a communal garden and play 

area and plenty of recreational 

green space. Miles Construction 

is undertaking the work, which 

is expected to be completed in 

stages before the end of 2023. 

Liz Krause, Kāinga Ora 

regional director Canterbury, 

says there is an urgent need 

for more warm, dry homes in 

Christchurch. The new homes 

will be built on Kāinga Ora land 

earmarked for redevelopment 

after the 2010-11 Canterbury 

earthquakes. 

“Many of our homes in this 

area are more than 50 years old 

and were built at a time when 

the quarter acre section was the 

norm. One of the ways we’re 

addressing the housing shortage 

is by making better use of the 

land we already own. We’re 

demolishing outdated homes 

and replacing them with more 

modern homes on the same 

land. 

“Building on this site will 

enable us to provide more homes 

for people and their whānau in 

an area of the city that has good 

access to transport, schools, 

shops and recreational facilities,” 

Krause said. 

Eight older existing houses 

that were already on the land 

were demolished last year to 

make way for the development. 

A new road that links Clyde 

Rd to Aorangi Rd and new 

footpaths have already been 

created as part of stage one of the 

project. Wastewater pipes have 

also been laid. 

Plans for the new complex 

were shared with the 

community in November 

2020 and Kāinga Ora will 

continue to keep in touch with 

neighbours and the wider 

community as construction 

progresses. 

The redevelopment is one of 

many planned for Bryndwr and 

Burnside. Over the next few 

years, Kāinga Ora is expected to 

build up to 113 new units across 

14 sites in the two suburbs. These 

will replace around 39 older 

units.

When we decided to sell, Cameron was the logical choice to help us. From our 

first discussion we knew he was the right person, a clear sales strategy and 

focus gave us huge confidence. 

Whilst our expectations on auction day were high, the result Cameron 

achieved for us blew us away..... far beyond what we could have ever hoped. 

We unreservedly recommend using Cameron to sell your property.

Discovery a reminder of rich history 

• From page 1 

When the note was finally unfurled 

it was clear some of it had 

disintegrated, but the handwritten 

names of five stonemasons 

who worked on the memorial 

were still visible. 

The date the note was written 

- February 1937 – was also 

visible. 

“The note is a bit worse for 

wear but it is an amazing link to 

the past that could easily have 

laid undiscovered,” Smith said. 

“I think what this note shows 

is that the original stonemasons 

were very proud of being part 

of building this memorial to the 

men and women who lost their 

lives in World War 1 and they 

wanted their role in the project 

to be remembered. 

“I am delighted that 85 years 

on we have recovered the note 

they hid and can publicly acknowledge 

them for their skilled 

workmanship and the part they 

played in creating this cherished 

memorial,” Smith said. 

For the team of stonemasons 

working on the restoration and 

relocation of the memorial, the 

discovery was special. 

“This discovery is a reminder 

of the rich history and tradition 

we’re helping to preserve,” said 

Goldfield Stone stonemason 

Regan Shanks. 

The city council aims to reveal 

the restored memorial in its new 

location in time for Armistice 

Day commemorations. 

DISCOVERY: The bottle containing the small 

hand-written note was found inside the Citizens’ 

War Memorial.

The Elmwood retains 

hospitality award 

• By Jo Fuller 

THE ELMWOOD has claimed 

Hospitality New Zealand’s 2022 

Awards for Excellence Best Local 

title retaining the honour it won 

last year. 

In a career that has spanned 

four decades, stalwart hoteliers 

Marty and Naomi Fuller are 

familiar faces in the industry. 

They took over The Elmwood 

four years ago but are also well 

known for running previous 

businesses such as The Shades, 

Trevinos, The Craic Irish Bar, 

Trader McKendry’s, The Bog, 

Vines Wine Bar, Sneakers Sports 

Cafe, The Bard on Avon, Grapes 

Wine Bar, the Rose & Thistle, as 

well as hospitality businesses in 

Auckland and Picton. 

It’s been a tough gig for the 

Fullers, who, like many in the 

industry, have shown great 

resilience navigating through 

Canterbury earthquakes and 

more recently, Covid. 

Regardless, they have managed

to maintain a successful business 

based on what people want – 

good food, good drink options, 

and good entertainment in safe, 

friendly surroundings. 

“We are very grateful to have 

been judged the Best Local in 

New Zealand again for 2022 at 

the Hospitality New Zealand 

Awards for Excellence,” Marty 

said. 

“This is recognition of our awesome 

team, who have been nothing 

short of amazing over the 

past year, and the fantastic loyal 

locals who make the Elmwood 

what it is. 

“We also picked up New 

Zealand’s Excellence in Gaming 

award, which was a real bonus 

and a real thrill for us too. 

What this means to us is that 

it’s a reflection of the hard 

work that we’ve put in, it’s a 

reflection of what wonderful, 

wonderful staff we’ve got, and 

also what a great bunch of locals 

we’ve got,’’ Marty said.

Kia ora whānau 

Ka whati te tī, ka wana te tī, ka rito te tī 

When ti kōuka is tested by the elements, 

it builds inner strength, then begins to grow again 

Ti kōuka, the historical stand of cabbage 

trees on our school grounds, symbolises 

how we can manage in these testing times. 

No matter what is thrown at these trees, 

whether by nature or human activity, they 

endure because they are strong, confident, 

and remarkably resilient. They hold fast, 

bending instead of breaking, then adapt and 

grow stronger. We can do the same: face 

challenges head on, cope in the short term, 

overcome, grow stronger together. This is our mantra in 2022. 

It is great to be back together onsite in Term 3 and long may that 

continue! I am confident that we will deal with whatever happens; 

and assure our community that every effort will be made to recover 

lost time and teaching opportunities. With Orange Setting health 

protocols still in place, and for the health and safety of our staff and 

students, it is important to maintain mask-wearing. In Term 2, our 

students respected our requirement to wear a mask indoors to help 

protect themselves and others. Please reinforce our expectation 

that masks be worn inside the buildings. 

Rebuilding our Culture 

I appreciate that the disrupted nature of the first two terms, with 

extended periods of home learning due to isolation and staff 

illness, is unsettling, creates uncertainty and anxiety, and affects 

motivation. Despite all the difficulties, Term 2 was busy and 

successful and I acknowledge students and staff for their hard work 

and commitment. I am proud of how everyone has responded and 

adjusted. Thank you to everyone in our school community for your 

ongoing support and your genuine desire to do what is best for our 

students. 

Our school vision is ‘personal excellence and care for others’. We 

aim to provide an environment which is positive, supportive and 

inclusive, and a safe, friendly atmosphere with high standards 

and high expectations of both staff and students. The BHS 

Values of Manaakitanga – Be Respectful, Mana – Have Pride and 

Rangatiratanga – Strive to Excel provide the framework in which 

everyone in our school community thinks, acts, and feels about 

ourselves and others. The one thing we can control is our attitude. 

I like to approach things positively, trusting that things will work 

out well. Living the BHS values, and doing the best we can no 

matter what, helps us face challenges head on. 

Let’s continue working together to make 2022 

a successful year.

Majority shareholder Vanessa

ownership by current team 

members Tracy Thomson and 

Maria Paterson who were excited 

for the opportunity to take 

ownership in the business they 

already have such a passion for. 

Joy Coughlan has also been introduced 

as a new partner in the 

business coming from a highly 

successful mortgage broking 

career. Joy enjoys helping people 

never been on our radars,” Finlay 

and Spencer say. 

“But, as year 13 students at 

an all-boys school, we have an 

opportunity to raise awareness 

about prostate cancer and 

encourage younger boys to have 

a greater understanding of the 

issue. 

“This is such an important 

issue for us as young men that we 

are willing to take a leap outside 

our comfort zone. We hope that 

everyone will get behind us and 

reach their goals, “my professional 

background allows me to 

offer a pragmatic solutions-based 

approach which when coupled 

with strong teamwork, offers our 

team a focus on success.” 

Tracy Thomson said “after

CREATIVE: The 

team’s design 

for their Enerugi

won them the

Students win with Cookie Time ‘product’ 

• By Emily Moorhouse 

A CASHMERE High School 

student was part of the winning 

team for a business challenge, 

with their pitch for a healthy 

alternative to energy drinks. 

Archie MacDonald, 17, took 

part in BizVenture Japan, a 

48-hour business challenge that 

saw students from around New 

Zealand and Japan plan and 

pitch a business product to a 

panel of judges. 

This year the business pitch 

was centred around Cookie 

Time, which has operations in 

Japan. 

The students were put into 

teams and given 48 hours to 

address one of two real-world 

briefs. 

The first focused on a new 

product for Cookie Time to 

introduce into its Japanese 

market, supported by a threeyear 

marketing plan. 

The second focused on a new 

market opportunity for Cookie 

Time to introduce into its 

existing product range. 

MacDonald was the only South 

Islander in his team and said 

it was exciting to get out of his 

comfort zone and take the win. 

While he admitted it was 

“pretty weird” working so closely 

with people he had just met, 

it wasn’t long before the team 

found common interests and got 

along well. 

“Naturally there are some 

nerves involved for sure, but we 

all worked together and all had 

different strengths as well,” he 

said. 

MacDonald was in charge of 

financial aspects, which he said 

was a challenge as he had never 

launched a food product or been 

to Japan before. 

In spite of this, MacDonald’s 

team won the competition with 

their idea of Enerugi Cookies 

and Sweet Enerugi Senbei 

(Japanese rice cakes), combined 

with matcha powder. 

“Over in Japan there’s a lot 

of energy products consumed 

everyday . . . so if we could put 

that into a Cookie Time cookie, 

that’s a more family friendly 

option,” MacDonald said. 

“Including the energy aspect 

into a senbei we thought was a 

pretty cool way of linking both 

the business and our product to 

the Japanese culture.” 

MacDonald said the “bragging 

rights” and excitement of 

winning was “pretty awesome”, 

and is hoping to get into the 

world of business when he leaves 

high school at the end of the 

year. 

“Having the experience I’ve 

got over the last couple of years 

is definitely something I’ll be 

looking at following in the 

future,” he said.

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 

60min. Return to room temperature 

before cooking. 

Preheat grill on high. Remove 

meat from marinade and pat dry. 

Brush with remaining oil. Season 

with black pepper. 

Grill for about 8min each side. 

To test if done, press thickest part 

of meat with your fingertip. The 

softer it is the rarer it is; the firmer 

it is, the more cooked. Tent with 

foil and cover with a thick towel. 

Rest for 10min before slicing. 

Bring marinade, stock and 

thyme to the boil. Simmer for 

10min. Serve with the meat. 

Roasted tomato, butter 

bean, and watercress 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

2 tsp salt 

8 tomatoes 

2 cloves garlic 

1 tbsp olive oil 

1 tsp brown sugar 

2 sprigs fresh rosemary 

1 freshly ground black pepper, 

to season 

1½ cups butter beans 

4 handfuls watercress, 

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.

ADVERTORIAL 

Water and environment key 

issues for new candidate 

Avonhead resident Dr Laly Samuel will be 

standing as an independent in the upcoming 

local body elections, vying for a seat on the 

Christchurch City Council for the Waimairi ward 

and one of two seats on the Community Board for 

the Waimairi/Fendalton/Harewood Ward . 

An academic and scientist, Dr Samuel has 

gained extensive international experience and 

recognition, with awards including the Garshom 

International Award she received in Norway in 

2019. She was also named as one of the finalists 

in the Women of Influence Award – International 

category New Zealand in 2015. 

Originally from India, Dr Samuel moved to 

New Zealand with her husband and two children 

in 2002. Prior to that they lived in Japan for 11 

years, where Dr Samuel worked as a scientist and 

undertook post-doctoral study. 

After three years in Wellington, during which 

Dr Samuel was a team leader at the Measurements 

Standards Laboratory of New Zealand (MSL) 

under the Crown Research Institute, Industrial 

Research Ltd , she moved to Christchurch where 

she continued her job with MSL under Callaghan 

Innovation, a role she held until 2016, before 

deciding to take a break from her professional life. 

Always part of her busy schedule, community 

work now has an even stronger focus for Dr 

Samuel. This involves assisting Indian immigrants 

to settle into New Zealand life. She is active in her 

local church, St Christopher’s, and along with her 

husband helps the Kerala community group with 

personal and cultural matters. 

She is also a member of the Christchurch 

Multicultural Council and the Christchurch 

International Group. 

With her scientific and management 

background, her experience with ethnic 

communities, as well as her commitment to 

helping the community, Dr Samuel believes that 

she will be a competent candidate. 

If successful, her main focus will be on 

removing chlorination from the city’s water, 

with reducing the city’s carbon footprint also an 

important issue for her. She supports the new 

stadium but was disappointed that solar panels 

were not included in the design. 

“I am also against the 1.4 per cent annual rate 

increase that Christchurch people will have to pay 

to fund the stadium’s construction. I believe the 

government should contribute more.” 

The situation Bromley residents are dealing 

with also concerns Dr Samuel. 

“The odour and pollution being created is 

affecting not just Bromley, but many parts of the 

city, and the toxic particles can cause health issues. 

“With my international scientific and 

management experience, I believe I could 

contribute a lot to council committees dealing 

with issues like these, and many others.” 

Her campaign strategy will include meeting 

with people as she believes it is important to 

interact with people and discuss their issues. 

“I already know a significant number of people 

in the Waimairi Ward, and I look forward to 

meeting many more, and going on to represent 

them after the election.”

Waiting 

Deb Crosby 

Licensed Sales Consultant REAA 2008 

Harcourts Papanui 

027 999 678 

deb.crosby@harcourts.co.nz 

Have you ever gone past a line 

of people and wondered what 

exactly they were waiting for, 

especially when the conditions 

for waiting were uncomfortable? 

It was either unbearably hot or inclement, 

yet the line continued to grow, confirming 

the belief that some things are worth 

waiting for. 

There’s a psychology to waiting and 

it’s been studied as part of business 

management and client services, with 

some of the most significant findings 

coming from Harvard Business School 

professor David Maister. 

I’m interested in his studies because one 

of the most common statements I’m 

hearing in the current market is “we’re 

waiting” … for the right home, right 

time, right price, the right circumstances. 

Everything has to be perfect and yet the 

chances of perfection, I’ve learnt from 

experience, are rare and that wait can 

become an infinite one. 

Waiting is one of the most dominant of 

human frustrations, so it makes sense 

to identify what makes the wait more 

acceptable. 

Here are some of his findings: 

1) The more valuable the service, the 

longer you’ll wait. 

An easy example of this is that people 

will wait longer for a doctor to attend to 

them than they would a shop assistant, 

perceiving the doctor’s service to be 

more valuable and deeply integral to their 

wellbeing. 

Equally, in real estate clients will wait for 

the right consultant to manage their 

property needs in the knowledge that 

this could give them an advantage by 

reaching more buyers, having their price 

expectations upheld through superior 

negotiation skills and giving their 

properties a better profile. There’s literally 

a ‘waiting list’ of clients for consultants of 

this calibre, and it makes sense to want to 

work with them. 

Some factors make waiting feel even 

longer and this realization gives the 

service industries – and real estate is 

one of these – a chance to rectify this 

inconvenience. 

2) Uncertain waits are longer than 

quantified ones. 

Someone who knows that their wish 

list home is coming to the market in 

approximately one month’s time is more 

likely to wait knowing this is definitely 

happening versus never having an actual 

timeframe communicated to them. The 

lesson here is consistent communication 

by an agent to keep in touch with their 

clients around timeframes – and for 

those clients wanting to be notified to 

show loyalty and commitment to that 

consultant. It’s a two-way street with 

significant benefits to both parties. 

Here’s a final ‘waiting’ scenario that also 

gets played out regularly and affects most 

of us: 

3) Unfair waits are longer, much longer 

than equitable ones. Here’s the scenario. 

You’re waiting to be attended to and the 

service you receive (or hope to receive) is 

interrupted by someone’s phone call. The 

sense of unfairness this engenders can 

make the wait intolerable and I wonder 

how much business is lost chasing the call 

over helping the actual person standing 

in front of you. I personally struggle with 

this the most and will usually move on if I 

find myself in this situation. 

So, what are you waiting for? What lines 

are you physically or figuratively standing 

in? I’m currently waiting for spring; I’m 

waiting for a full office without the burden 

of excessive illness. I’m not waiting for the 

market to change greatly for some time, 

but I am working with the awareness that 

it will, as they always do. So you’re aware 

of the most recent market statistics, I can 

tell you that 491 properties sold in June, 

averaging 33 days on the market and for 

an average price of $700,000. 

If you’re waiting for that right time, place 

or home, know that it’s out there and the 

right person will guide you to it.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI NEWS 

10 Fun Things to do on a Rainy Day 

Blog the Bucket List Journey by Annette 

White, has some fantastic weird, wild and 

fun ideas to pass the time on the rainy 

days, of which we have had many here 

in Christchurch! Here are my top ten 

favourite ideas. 

1. Have an Indoor Picnic 

Picnics aren’t just for the outdoors—clear 

a space on your living room floor and 

recreate a memorable dining experience. 

You can even pack a traditional wicker 

basket with your favourite picnic foods 

and enjoy the feast without going too far.

Shoppers 

2. Have a Spa Day 

It’s entirely up to you whether you invest 

in a treatment at a high-end spa or create 

your own at home. In any case, a self-care 

day will leave you feeling completely 

revitalized. 

3. Write a Thank You Note to Someone 

Who Deserves It 

So often people want to tell a company 

or friend how they feel when they are 

not satisfied, instead write a thank you 

to show your appreciation for a job well 

done. 

4. Research your Family Tree 

It’s getting easier to find out your roots, 

so spark up an interest in genealogy and 

start researching your family tree. You 

can start your search at My Heritage who 

offers a 14-day free trial or Ancestry.com 

who gives you a free starter account. 

5. Learn to Use Chopsticks 

Not very many adults know how to do 

this and even fewer kids can comfortably 

use chopsticks. Do you want to seem 

sophisticated and well-cultured, then 

learn how to use chopsticks. You can 

impress your friends when you are all out 

for sushi. 

6. Try to Meditate 

Meditation is much more than sitting in 

a lotus position chanting “om” over and 

over again—it is a way of life. Clearing 

your mind through meditation has many 

benefits, like lowering blood pressure 

and anxiety levels. Plus, it can give you a 

brighter outlook on life! 

7. Learn a New Language 

You can learn a new skill at any age, so 

why not learn a new language? It can be 

a fun and interactive experience for the 

whole family. Perhaps you can learn the 

language of a dream destination where 

you hope to go on a vacation someday? 

Duolingo is a great program to get you 

started.

(above Black & White Coffee Cartel) 

The Office of the Privacy 

Commissioner (OPC) has 

now begun the process of 

using mystery shoppers in the 

private rental sector to monitor 

property managers and their 

activities. The process began in 

March 2022, and the OPC are 

now checking on how property 

management organisations are 

operating within the private 

sector. Effectively, using 

mystery shoppers, the OPC 

is checking whether property 

managers are asking for the right 

information, at the right time, in 

line with the privacy principles 

defined in the Privacy Act 2020. 

While the report I have read 

talks specifically on their audit 

on property management 

companies, it seems likely that 

they will also be calling private 

landlords who are advertising 

their own properties as well. 

The OPC has the right – if 

landlords or property managers 

are found to be in breach of the 

Privacy Act – to issue warning 

letters, access directions, 

compliance notices, referral 

to the Human Rights Review 

Tribunal, publicly naming 

a company, or making 

a complaint to the Privacy 

Commissioner. 

Do you know and understand 

what you can and cannot ask a 

potential tenant and at what stage 

you can ask them? Did you know 

you are no longer authorised to 

request all the information at 

once, it is instead a process with 

several steps involved? 

If you don’t it is certainly worth 

doing the research as the penalty 

for failure to comply with a 

Compliance Notice is a fine up to 

$10,000.
