Bill is flawed, 

and lacks 

accountability 

—NCcouncils 

By ROBYN BRISTOW 

Daffodils making adifference 

The Water Services Entities Bill is based on flawed 

analysis and needs aproperindependent review, 

due to the proposedcumbersome governance 

structure and lackofaccountability to the asset 

owners, says HurunuiDistrict Councilchief 

executive Hamish Dobbie. 

He saysthe novel ‘shareholding’ proposal of the 

Bill also denies the rights normally associatedwith 

owningashareholdinginanentity. 

He called for the bill to be paused until the 

reformation of the deliveryofthree waters services 

is available for review, when he,and Hurunui 

Mayor MarieBlack appeared beforethe finance 

and expenditure select committee in Christchurch 

last week. 

Mr Dobbie and Mrs Blacktold the select 

committee the Hurunui District Council on behalf 

of its communities, operates acomplexrange of 

three waterssystems which supplydrinking water, 

stock water, wastewaterand storm water services 

acrossthe district. 

‘‘These services are fit for purpose, consented, 

compliant and affordable both now and in the 

future,’’ theysaid. 

Mrs Black saidthe elected representatives are 

directly responsible to Hurunui District residents 

and ratepayers and the consumer voice is heard 

strongly through direct governancearrangements. 

They said the bill was foundedonpoor 

modelling, which needstobeproperly reviewedin 

detail, and revised to presentthe truestatus of 

affordability of three waters servicesnationally. 

“If thisreviewconfirms the casefor larger 

entities, thenthe HurunuiDistrict Council holds 

significant concerns around the structure, 

governance, shareholding and transitionalpowers 

containedinthe Bill,” saidMrDobbie. 

Meanwhile the WaimakaririDistrict agreed with 

its neighbouring council in its submission. It said 

the WaterEntities Bill was not the wayforward 

because it was not appropriateorworkable.

Danae appreciates support 

By SHELLEY TOPP 

Ayoung Rangiora mothersays the 

support she has receivedduring her 

treatment for cancer has been 

wonderful. 

DanaeSaxon, aged 36, was 

diagnosed with breast cancer four 

yearsago when she had 

chemotherapy, amastectomy, breast 

reconstruction and radiationduring 

her treatmentfor the disease. 

Another cancer diagnosis in 2020 

was ahugeblow. She has recently 

completedfive days of radiation 

treatment whichshe saysistiringand 

has given her headaches. 

As mum to three children aged 2, 8 

and 12, Danae has appreciatedthe 

wonderful support from her husband, 

Dion and other family memberssince 

she was firstdiagnosed. 

She has also had supportduring her 

second roundofcancerfrom the 

Cancer Society’sNorth Canterbury

‘‘Thefirst time round,Ididn’t feel

Reforms hasty, and communities lose out 

From Page 1 

‘‘We wholeheartedlysupportthe 

establishmentofTaumata Arowaiand the 

involvementofmana whenua in decisionmaking 

at alocallevel. 

‘‘Ourposition is informed by our own 

experience and the feedback from our 

residents who we asked.Atotal of 95% of 

respondents oppose the loss of controlof 

theirThree Water assets,’’Waimakariri 

MayorDan Gordonsaid. 

Mr Gordon saidthe key reasons for its 

position were: 

Thetotalvalueofour Three Waters 

assets is $602m. For those community 

funded assetsweare being offered $22m in 

Better Off funding andtwo ‘shares’ina 

waterentity. 

The‘shares’ are not shares in any 

ordinary sense. The communityislosing 

real controlover the assetsthey have paid 

for withoutcompensation commensurate 

with theiractual value. 

Waimakariri residents, havingalready 

investedintheir own infrastructure, willbe 

subsidisingthe costs of upgradesinother 

areas. In our view, this is inequitable and 

rewards poor infrastructure planning. 

It can also result in the perverse outcome 

that peopleinsmallercommunitiesend up 

subsidisingthe infrastructure costs for 

larger urban areas who have not made the 

equivalentinvestment. 

The submissions saiditwas ironicthe 

risk of future privatisation is createdbythe 

reform process through taking assets 

ownedand managed by 67 entities,and 

amalgamating them into fourmegaentities, 

who will provide essential services 

in amonopoly —astructure ripe for the 

pluck of privatisation. 

The bill would result in the loss of control 

of water servicesinthe district, and 

communities would losethe right to be 

consulted on levelsofservice and funding. 

Civil Defence emergencies, underthe 

Entitybasedmodel, would mean council 

would lack control and influence during 

emergencies,which was aseriousconcern 

for the council and community. 

‘‘TheBill has not considered the need to 

integrate Three Waters services with other 

core functions of local authorities such as 

civildefence emergency managementand 

landuse planning,’’MrGordon said. 

‘‘The Bill is disconnectedfrom other 

major reforms in local government 

including resourcemanagement, civil 

defence, building and local government 

itself. 

‘‘Wedonot believe the Bill should 

proceed. 

‘‘The Bill is driven by an ideology of 

centralisation ratherthan acommitment to 

findthe best option to address issues with 

Three Waters services,’’ he says. 

The reforms were hasty, the databeing 

relied on was inaccurate, the draft 

legislation was fragmented, and the 

processwas disconnected from other key 

reformsinlocal government. 

Communities 4LocalDemocracy group 

was to have submittedonthe Bill in 

Wellington yesterday. 

However, this was postponed. It’s believed 

it is being rescheduled forMonday next 

week.

committee is scheduled to report back to

Ron keeps the wheels turning 


When Ron Morrow realised his eyesight 

was no longer good enoughtodrivehis car 

he madeagenerous decision. 

The Rangiora Charles Upham 

Retirement Village resident decided to 

donate his 2004 Toyota Spacio to the 

Cancer Society North Canterbury Centre. 

‘‘I thoughtthey might know someone 

who needed acar to get to treatment,’’ he 

says. 

But after givinghis ideamore thought 

Ron cameupwith abetter plan which 

enabled him to help his daughter, son in 

law, and the Cancer Society, at thesame 

time. 

He realised Catherine and Maurice 

needed avehicle upgrade as their work 

car had over300,000 kilometres on the 

clock, so theydid aswap. 

Catherine and Maurice tookover 

ownership of Ron’s Toyota, thensold their 

old car and gave the money they received 

for it to Ron.Heinturn donated it to the 

Cancer Society. 

‘‘It meant that the Cancer Society didn’t 

get quite as much, but Iwas able to help 

my family as well,’’ Ron says. 

The CanterburyCancer SocietyNorth 

CanterburyCentrecoordinator,Gabrielle 

O’Connell, saysthey are ‘‘delighted with 

Ron’sextremelygenerous donation of 

$2050’’. 

Ron, aged‘‘nearly93’’ madethe cash 

donationinperson. 

He rode all the way from Ryman’s 

retirement village on Charles Upham

Helen worriedabout Ron driving

He didn’t like her worrying abouthim,so 

his 1964Wolseley 16/60had to go.

New story walk in Kaiapoi 

By DAVID HILL, 

Local Democracy Reporter 

Kaiapoi residents will get the 

chance to walk and talknext 

month. 

After the successofaMatariki 

story walk in Rangiora, the 

Waimakariri DistrictCouncil is 

going to create anew story walkin 

Kaiapoi’s Te Korotuaheka Reserve 

(Honda Forest). 

TheKaiapoiTuahiwi 

Community Board last week 

approvedthe story walk,which 

will be launched to coincidewith 

Te WikioTeReo (MāoriLanguage 

Week). 

Theproject is acollaboration 

betweenWaimakariri Libraries 

andthe council’s greenspaceteam. 

‘‘Astorywalk is mainly aimedat 

young children,’’ greenspace 

design and planning teamleader 

Grant Stephens said at last week’s 

meeting. 

‘‘Families go along and read the 

story together and theRangiora 

onehas beenincredibly successful 

and it getspeoplereading and into 

ourreserves.’’ 

Waimakariri Libraries staff have 

obtained permissiontouse the 

children’s story, There’saTui in 

ourTeapot,written and illustrated 

by New Zealand authors Dawn 

McMillan and NikkiSlade. 

Thecost of creating, installing 

andthe later removing the 

temporary story walk panels is 

estimated at $1500. 

It willbefunded from withinthe 

existinglibraries and greenspace 

budgets.

‘‘What’s not to like. It’s an

The idea came out of the Covid

explored new ways of connecting

including the Gore, Hastingsand 

Napier districts.

Dog lovers 

support SPCA 


Anew campaign by the 

Society for thePrevention of 

CrueltytoAnimals (SPCA) 

has support fromNorth 

Canterbury dog lovers. 

The campaign is asking 

for publicsupport to change 

the law thatallows longtermtetheringand 

confinement of dogs in New 

Zealand. 

So farmore than19,000 

supporters, includingthe 

North Canterbury Kennel 

Association, have answered 

thatcall. 

The secretary of the 

association,Karen 

McIntyre,says its members 

‘‘certainly support’’ the 

campaign. 

‘‘Dogs that are kept under 

suchconditionswould 

sufferwelfareand mental 

distress andwesupportthe 

proposed introduction of a 

penaltyfor such 

mistreatment,’’ she says. 

‘‘Howeverwedofirmly 

believe thateducation prior 

to dog ownershipisone of 

the key principles that 

shouldbeembraced. The 

AnimalWelfare Act's Code 

of Welfare is an excellent 

guide forowners and it 

shouldbeusedin 

conjunction with alicensing 

scheme forowners –not just 

their dogs.’’ 

The SPCA’schief 

executiveAndrea Midgen 

saysevery year ‘‘we are 

heartbroken’’ by the 

hundreds of dogswesee 

spending their lives on 

chainsorlockedupintiny 

spaces. 

‘‘Thisiswhy we are asking 

the Government to change 

the law right nowasthe 

physical andmental 

sufferingthese animalsare 

experiencingis 

unacceptable.’’ 

SPCA’snational 

inspectorate manager Alan 

Wilson sayslegislation 

makes it incredibly difficult 

for inspectorstointervene’’ 

unlessthere are signsof 

physical suffering,such as 

injury,oralack of foodor 

water. 

‘‘The physical and 

psychologicalharmthese 

animalsare facing dueto 

being chainedupor 

confined in asmallpen all 

their lives,isahugewelfare

‘‘Being powerless to 

intervene is one of the

Three Waters Bill 

sparks keen interest 

Isat on the ThreeWatersselect 

committeeinChristchurch recently, 

where we heard fromanumber of 

submitterswho oppose the 

Governments asset grab and the 

undemocraticprocesses behindit. 

It was good to see representation 

from the Waimakaririelectoratewith 

the mayor, deputy mayor, acouncillor 

and acommunity board member all 

speaking to their submissions, on 

behalfofthe manyconcerned 

residentsthey represent. 

This legislation has sparkedkeen 

publicinterest, and clear opposition, 

in Waimakaririwith 95% of 

respondentstoalocalcouncil survey 

stating they want to opt out. 

Close to 4000residents responded 

in just three weeks, which shows the 

degreeoflocal engagement in this 

issue. 

It is vital that the Government hears 

the views of regionalNew 

Zealanders, which is why Iwrote to 

the chair of the finance and 

expenditure selectcommittee asking 

that the parliamentarycommittee 

spend morethan its planned four 

days getting aroundtohear New 

Zealanders views on this. 

As part of that requestIaskedthat 

the committee come to the 

Waimakariri to listentoresidents 

who want to be heard by this 

Government. 

Ihope you will be abletojoin 

myself, Nationals Three Waters 

spokespersonSimon Watts and 

KaikouraMPStuart Smith on Sunday 

September 18, at one of our public 

meetings across the electorate: 

Papanui Club at 10am,Oxford Jaycee 

Hall at 12.30pm, Kaiapoi Riverside 

Church at 3pm,Leithfield Better Half 

Kitchen at 5.30pm. 

Itook the opportunity in 

Parliament recently to speakagainst 

Labour's promotion of aBill that 

alters NZ’s democracy of one person 

one vote. 

National will repeal the Canterbury 

RegionalCouncil (NgāiTahu 

Representation)Bill when in power 

as it is simply undemocratic. 

Cantabrians should have been 

thoroughly consulted beforethis 

course of action was taken. 

Lastly I’d like to thankSteven 

BrownofSpringbank Honeynear 

Cust for giving me atour of his 

business. Ihad no idea of the scale of 

Springbanks honeyproduction and 

it’s impressive to hear how successful 

our localproduce is on the

Steven and his teamfor building such

Speed limits hit snag 


New speed limits in the Waimakariri 

District have hit aspeed bump. 

They have had no legal standing for 

eight months —from September 2021 to 

May 2022 —and anyone issued a 

speeding ticket in that time can expect 

to see arefund. 

The problem has been the timing of 

local and national rule changes, and the 

council has put its hand up about the 

error that has caused. 

Speed limits were lowered in the 

district last year after consultation. 

However, it now appears some of the 

new speed limits were not legally 

enforceable due to the relevant council 

bylaw the Speed Limit Bylaw 2017 — 

lapsing in September 2021, combined 

with adelay in the adoption of anew 

national register, which finally took 

place in May 2022. 

Council chief executive Jeff Millward 

says this means there may be some 

motorists who are eligible for arefund of 

speeding tickets issued during this 

period. 

‘‘It’s an honest mistake that we wanted 

to be up front about and acknowledge. 

‘‘Since realising this error, we’ve 

adopted the Speed Limits Bylaw 2022, 

which has resolved this legal anomaly. 

‘‘Waimakariri District has been 

working closely with Police to identify 

the infringements impacted by this 

error,’’ Mr Millward says. 

‘‘Police enforcement action was done 

in good faith, and the council apologises 

for any inconvenience caused.’’ 

Police will contact affected drivers 

advising them of the cancellation of 

their infringement notice as well as any 

associated demerit points. 

If an infringement fee has been paid, 

Police will refund the payment. 

If the notice was referred to the Court 

as an unpaid fine, Police will be 

contacting the Court to have the matter 

withdrawn.

sections —daywear, summerwear and 

formalwear. Lucy already has her outfits 

tuckedaway ready for the big day. 

Lucy has battled with her health for a 

long time, and says she wantstoprove 

that people with disabilities —both seen 

and invisible —, can ‘‘chase their dreams 

and be who they truly are’’, even if their 

methods are somewhat unorthodox. 

Lucy loves the vintage era becauseof 

its sense of community,and the massive 

part in playsinthe New Zealandpinup 

scene. 

‘‘It'slike awhole other family to love. 

‘‘I want to inspire other women to get 

involved and give pageants ago,’’she 

says. 

Lucy’staste for all thingsvintage 

started when she was invited to apinup 

event. 

‘‘I fell in love with it. And that was the 

Finalist ... Miss Audrey Agnes, aka, Lucy 

Anderson.

startofthe whole thing for me,’’ she says. 

Her love for muscle cars stems from 

beingtaught all about them by her 

brothers, and she dreams to own one oneday. 

Whilethe pageant will be her first 

international event,she is no strangerto 

the stage. 

Her firstpageant was at the Kaikoura 

Hop whereshe won the MissKaikoura 

Hop Teen competition.

players in 2020and have 

now grownto40players. 

‘‘They have playedin 

curtain raisersfor theDiv 1 

finalin2021 and at halftime 

at aCrusaders match. 

They are nowlooking to

‘‘Secondly each Tri

Ruby’sChoice hits 

bigscreens in NZ 

Ruby’s Choice,aground breaking film 

in which dementia takescentre stage, 

has finally hit the big screen in New 

Zealand. 

And Amberley’s Adriel House and 

Rest Home has asnippetinthe movie. 

StarringJane Seymour OBE, the 

film explores the humanising story of 

agrandmother dealingwith 

dementia, and whosefamily rediscover 

the value of her presence in 

their lives. 

Adriel’s owner Mischeal 

McCormick says the home recently 

booked atheatre in Rangiora for staff 

and family of residents to see the film. 

It was followedbyaquestion and 

answer session. 

‘‘We can learn alot of lessons from 

Ruby,’’ she says. 

‘‘It is (the film) quite educational 

and moving. And we can learn alot 

about listening to our residents, and 

about what not to do.’’ 

‘‘Ruby’sChoice helps give people a 

better appreciationofpeople with 

memory loss, and about 

communicating with them,’’ says 

Mischeal. 

The movie arrives as Adriel 

celebrates Spark of Life month, by 

promotingthe programme which 

focuses on the quality of the 

connection between carers and 

residents, and their families. 

It also fosters kindness, 

compassion, empathy, and respect for 

supportive partners. 

Adriel is a Spark of Life centre of 

Excellence,and Mischeal says the 

programme is the home’s point of 

difference from other facilities 

providing dementia care. 

She says it can be ‘‘ tragic and 

tough’’ losing afamily member to 

dementia, but they are still there, and 

they have moments of clarity. 

Adriel does not use medication to 

reduce any challenging behaviour of 

residents as afirst call. 

Instead it fosters staff talking to the 

residents, getting to know them, 

listeningtothem and responding in a 

kind way to reduce challenging 

behaviour. 

Mischeal says time is spent with 

staff as ateam helping them to care 

for residents, and also at the end of 

August atraining session will be held 

for staff, concentrating on their 

wellbeing. 

Arecent winter warmer function at 

the home, with family and relatives 

joining in, was an enjoyable 

afternoonofsinging, and talking. 

‘‘The interaction of everyone was a 

real buzz,’’ says Mischeal. 

‘‘Spark of Life is about people, and 

making adifference in people’s 

lives.’’

lossand associated problems ...

What makesAmberley CountryEstateSoSpecial? 

The Layout of Amberley Country Estate is 

Very Different toMost Other Villages. 

Instead oflines of similar homes in arow, wehave awide range 

of villas, with each street set out inauniquely distinctive layout. 

Shared right ofways gives amore intimate feel, like living in a 

cul-de-sac. But, with rural-people inmind, some homes have 

private driveways and extra generously-sized yards. 

As well as meaning the Village doesn’t feel like all the homes 

are the same, each yard isunique too. Streets are beautifully 

landscaped with attractive colourful plantings. Paths meander 

throughthe village and pocket-parks abound. 

This extra “visual amenity” gives your home more individuality 

and the streets more character, making the village feel more 

special and upmarket. 

So are our Spacious andLuxurious Energy EfficientVillas! 

Available from 94-182m 2, our stunning Architect-designed 2and 3Bedroom Villas combine the highest 

standards of style, comfort, security and energy efficiency: ducted central heating, thicker walls with more 

insulation and thermally-broken windows keep the cold outside and means power bills are low and you’re 

warm and comfortable year round. Less power use is better forthe planet too! 

Plus there’sSOmuchmore! 

To find out ALL the many reasons why Amberley CountryEstate 

should be your next move, visit our website orcall 0800 573 573 

today. You’ll be so glad you did!

NC agency marks 20 years 

By DAVID HILL 


Enterprise North Canterbury (ENC) 

is celebrating20years of supporting 

localbusiness. 

Launched in 2002 by the 

Waimakariri and Hurunui district 

councils, ENCwas established to 

promote economic development in 

the region. 

‘‘Right from thegetgo, ENC has 

been all about supporting local,’’ 

says chief executive Heather 

Warwick,who has beenwith the 

agency since 2003. 

‘‘We havestucktothis across the 

boardover the past two decades, 

supporting new and existing local 

businesseswith our economic 

development team.’’ 

ENC alsosupports tourism in the 

Waimakariri district through Visit 

Waimakariri and more recently 

created the Made NorthCanterbury 

brandtosupport localfood and 

beverage producers. 

Mrs Warwicksaid the 

earthquakes and Covid19 had kept 

the agency busy. 

The first of thequakes, in 

September2010, had asignificant 

impact on Kaiapoi withsome 

redevelopment workgoing today. 

‘‘Thepast20years have thrown a 

significantnumber of challenges 

our way,’’ she said. ‘‘So many of our 

localbusinesses needed support to 

rebuild and recover (from the2010 

quake), which was of course 

followed by aftershocks and more 

majorearthquakes in 2011and then 

againin2016.’’ 

By partnering withthe Ministry of 

Social Development, ENC was able 

to assist hundreds of businesses 

affected by the earthquakes with

support,advice, information and 

funding. 

Covid19 presented anew set of 

challenges as the country went into 

lockdown, Mrs Warwick said. 

The smallENC team supported 

morethan 900 local businesses 

through the lockdownand in the 

aftermath. 

ENC’s business development 

teamreceived acommendation at 

the 2021 EconomicDevelopment 

New Zealand Awardsfor its efforts 

to supportbusinesses during this 

period. 

Aside from these challenges, 

ENC has supported and developed 

anumber of projects and 

partnerships to support local 

businesses, Mrs Warwick said. 

These included supportingthe 

Hurunui Water Projecttoget off the 

groundin2004, the North 

Canterbury BusinessAwards held

establishing the ENC Business 

CentreinKaiapoiand creating the

Facing challenges 

By DAVIDHILL 


The Hurunui District 

Council is financiallysound, 

despite the challenges it 

faces, says chief executive 

Hamish Dobbie. 

In his preelection report 

ahead of this year’s local 

government elections, Mr 

Dobbie saidthe districthas 

faced drought,the 2016 

earthquake, central 

government legislationand 

Covid19 over the last 

decade.

AMANDA BOWES-DURAND 

For those interested in share markets and how to 

make serious wealth from them there’s avery interesting 

investment firm with a growing North Canterbury 

presence. This is the New Zealand based, Australasian 

hedge fund start up, Chance Voight Investment Partners 

Limited (CVI Partners). 

Hedge funds, legendary across the world for their 

concentrated well-timed callsonthe sharemarketand the 

money they’vemadefor theirinvestorbaseweredescribed 

in arecentstudyas the‘smartmoney’inthe markets. 

Chance Voight has been established with aview to 

mining extraordinary profits from the Australian stock 

market and asBernard Whimp, the founder and CIO 

of Chance Voight, says‘We’ll bedeploying ourunique 

insightsand investment style with theaim of compounding 

investor capital at 20% per annum orbetter over multiple 

years’. 

Setting up CVI Partners in 2018 as aspecialist deep 

valuestock pickinginvestmentfirm,Bernard waslooking 

to capitalise on almost a decade of experience as a 

professional investor in companieslisted on theAustralian 

sharemarket(theASX). 

He concentrates on the ASX, as experience has shown 

him, that in this part of theworld that’s wheremany of the 

best share marketmoney-making opportunities are. 

So howdid CVI Partnerscomeabout? 

“Well,” Bernard says, “It’sreally about the sheer joyof 

doingwhat you love day andnight”. 

Adecadeago,Bernard wanted to test atheory.Hemade 

aquick fortune by making offers to buy shares directly 

from shareholders incompanies listed on the NZStock 

Exchange. 

At Christmas time in2010, he launched aseries of 

audaciousoff-marketofferswhich sawhim pick upaprofit 

of almost $4 million inamatter ofmonths, all kicked off 

with an initial$7,000investment. Daring to do something 

different made lots of money. 

To most people, the share market can be abewildering 

array of unfathomable numbers –Bernard sees itinfine 

granulardetail. 

The ASX, with its 2,000 companies, provides the 

opportunity to be incredibly selectivewhenbuyingshares. 

Most years, heisable toidentify ahandful ofterrific 

opportunities. The NZX incomparison has only about 

160listed companies. 

Theshare marketisessentially atreasure hunt, he says. 

“We’re really more like aprivate equity investment firm 

operating inlisted markets with all the advantages ofthe 

buy andsellability that listed marketsprovide butwithout 

the tortuous negotiations onpurchase that private equity 

requires.” 

CVI Partners Chief Investment Officer (CIO), Bernard Whimp 

The cornerstone of our investment view isthat we aim 

to never spend an investor dollar unless webelieve that 

we’regetting at leasttwo dollarsofvaluefor it. 

“Asafirm, wehunt for situations where wecan obtain 

substantial value for nothing, where we can buyastake 

in aworthwhile business that is worth alot more than the 

price weare paying.” 

As Bernard puts it, ‘guys like me don’t believe the 

passive index share investing that’s been popular over 

the last decade will continue todeliver good returns into 

the future and there’s now lots ofevidence emerging that 

this passive investment style that so many New Zealand 

investorsare involved with onewayor another,has ‘hit the 

wall’. We thinkthat ‘stock picking’ where you arelooking 

to hold a concentrated portfolio of winning situations 

with high probability to the upside maywell prove tobe 

asuperior share market investment strategy in the years 

ahead. 

He doesn’tratemostofwhat goes on around investment 

in the share market at all. “It’s essential in ahedge fund 

to establish anunconventional investment style. You’re 

not likely to make much money doing what everyone else 

does, asthe saying goes -you’ve got to be different, and 

you’vegot to be right!” 

We’re looking to deliver investors annualised returns 

at that 20% per annum mark. We’renot reinventing the 

wheel indoing this. These types ofreturns are typical 

of good Australian hedge fund operations, it’s just that 

you’ve probably never heard of them, and no one’s ever 

offered you accesstoone in New Zealand. 

Bernard isbuilding Chance Voight with an innovative 

structure where, besides managing money in the ASX 

for external investors, Chance Voight will have alot of 

‘proprietary capital’ (the firm’s own money) atwork. To 

this end the Chance Voight parent company intends to 

undertake an initialpublic offering (IPO)inafew months’ 

time. This will give smaller investors an opportunity to 

back the firm’s concentrated stock picking investment 

style and learn quite alot about the share market atthe 

same time.‘We’llbetryingtoget many of ourinvestment 

insights across toourshareholders’,saysBernard. 

Christchurch lawyer, friend and fellow director, Paul 

Currie,has this to say about Bernard: 

“I have never met anyone who has the share market 

understanding and insights that Bernard does. He is very 

approachable and exceptionally interestingtotalkto.” 

Outside ofits ASX share market funds, Chance Voight 

is keenly aware that what’s important for many New 

Zealand investors today is regular cash flow and income 

to help pay thebills in theseinflationary times. Tothisend 

Chance Voight has itshigh yield mortgage fund available 

which paysinvestors regular interest at10% perannum. 

All investments in the fund are secured bymortgage 

over real estate and perhaps most importantly of all, 

the fund does not take on any property development 

risk, meaning that the fund does not lend on property 

development situations. 

As Bernard points out, “it’s lending onlower priority 

mortgages todevelopment projects that has caused so 

many historical problems for New Zealand investors over 

the years and the CVI Fund is designed not totake this 

type of risk on board”.

Vickie sat on the fence for a few months before starting her journey on Phatt 

(Putting Health at the Top), a weight loss programme. 

She was scared she would fail. 

Vickie was already in a slump, and didn’t want to disappoint herself any more 

after other programmes had failed to help her maintain any weight loss. 

‘‘After watching a friend’s journey I decided, I at least needed to try,’’ she says. 

So 18 months ago Vickie began her journey on Phatt, a food plan with 

nutritional supplements. 

‘‘What a journey it has been,’’ she says. 

Vickie lost 27 kgs in six months, while her husband who joined her, lost 17kg in 

threemonths. 

‘‘And we have maintained that weight loss,’’ she says. 

But Vickie says theprogrammeisnotjust about losing weight. 

‘‘Phatt is a whole lifestyle change,’’ she says.

Having a mentor to help her everyday, and to give her encouragement when she

‘‘I am now mentor, and I am able to help others achieve the results that I did. 

‘‘If you are watching from the side lines, now is the time to join us,’’ she says.

Careers expo goes online 

By DAVID HILL 


An innovative approach is ensuring North 

Canterbury youth have access to careers 

guidance, amid Covid19 uncertainty. 

The NorthCanterbury Youth Futures 

careers expo has gone online, 

WaimakaririDistrictCouncil community 

teammanager Tessa Sturleysaid at last 

week’s community and recreation 

meeting. 

The careers expo was firstheld in 2019, 

but has since been disruptedbyCovid19, 

so the steering group made the decision 

earlier this year to go online. 

The steering group comprised 

representatives from the council’s 

community team,Rangiora and Kaiapoi 

highschools,the Ministry of Education, 

the Ministry of Social Development and 

ComCol North Canterbury. 

While it was been at Rangiora High 

School in 2019 and 2021,the expo was 

opentoall North Canterbury youth,or 

anyone considering achange of career. 

The development of an online presence 

has been led by WaimakaririDistrict 

Council youthdevelopment facilitator 

Emily Belton and JosephHoughton, from 

the Ministry of Education. 

To help guide the developmentof 

online tools,the steering group conducted 

focus groups withpupils at schoolsinthe 

Waimakaririand Hurunui districts. 

Responses varied depending on the age 

of students and whether they wererural 

or urban. 

Someenvisagedthat careersmay take 

themoverseas, while recognition of the 

importanceofTeTiriti oWaitangi and 

concerns for the environment featured 

strongly. 

Facebook and Instagram pages were 

being usedtopromote careerpathways, 

educational opportunities, how to write a 

CV and how to present transferableskills.

Community strategy review 

By DAVID HILL 


Achanging environment has changed 

Waimakariri’s community priorities. 

The WaimakaririDistrict Council will 

reviewits community development 

strategy earlier thanexpecteddue to the 

challengesofCovid19, climatechange 

and the housing crisis. 

The last strategy was written in 2015, in 

the wake of the Canterbury earthquakes, 

and was expected to guidethe council’s 

community team for the next 10 years. 

‘‘A lot has changedsince 2015, with 

Covid19 and the emerging impacts of 

climate change,and we’veseen 

increasing poverty and growing cultural 

diversity,’’ WaimakaririDistrict Council 

community team manager TessaSturley

Speaking at last week’scommunity and

wide. 

Staff havealready approached 

Mahaanui Kurataiao Ltd to ensure a 

bicultural, partnership approach is 

applied when developingthe strategy. 

‘‘It’sastrategic look at the wellbeing 

opportunitiesand connections of whole 

district, so it will include agencies that we 

work withand support,’’ Ms Sturley said. 

The aim of the community development 

strategy was to ‘‘provide aclear 

framework’’ for the community team in 

facilitating how to addresslocal 

priorities, she said. 

Council staff planned to developadraft 

strategy by April next year, with the aim of 

it being adoptedbythe councilinJuly,

Youth priorities discussed 

By DAVIDHILL 


The environment, making Dudley Park 

more family friendly, recognising youth 

achievements and ensuring ayouth voice 

are the priorities for Waimakariri’s young 

leaders. 

The Waimakariri Youth Council 

developed awork plan earlier this year to 

focusonsix key projects overthe next 18 

months. 

Speaking at last week’scommunity and 

recreationmeeting, Waimakariri District 

Council community team manager Tessa 

Sturley saidthe initiatives were all youth 

led. 

‘‘We are seeing an increased focuson 

citizenship; the Covid19 epidemic has 

seen an increased focus on mental health 

and having that sense of belonging to a 

community is really important to them.’’ 

Community and recreation committee 

chairperson Cr Niki Mealings said the 

youth council played an important role in 

the district. 

‘‘It’s about building up our young people 

to give them the skills, the space to grow 

and to developthat senseofbelonging,so 

they want to stay here or at least comeback 

when they’ve seenthe world.’’ 

In areport prepared for the meeting, 

youthdevelopment facilitator Emily Belton 

said the environmentwas akey focusfor 

the youth council,supporting community 

events, building relationswith likeminded 

organisations and raisingawareness.

The Wakelin brothers, Robbie and

Springbank, are continuing the family 

traditionofparticipating in the

Atradition startedbytheir late father 

Trevorright from the programme’s

Robbiesays theirfather began 

donating calves fromtheir 96 hectare 

dairy stud farmwhen the scheme 

started, and they havecontinued 

donating ever since. 

‘‘We have been associated with the

The IHC Calf &Rural Scheme 

sponsored by PGG Wrightson Livestock, 

grewout of humble beginnings. 

In 1982, Norm Cashmore in Taranaki 

cameupwith the ideaofasking dairy 

farmerstoraiseacalfand donate the 

proceedstoIHC whenitwas sold. 

To thank them theywere givenapair 

of gumboots. 

Asimple idea but one farmersquickly 

supported. 

Normwas soon joined by Mick 

Murphy in Blenheim and the Calf & 

Rural Scheme went national. 

The late Sir Colin Meads was 

approached to help promotethe 

scheme. 

He said he wouldgive it two years but 

ultimately becamealifelong supporter 

andPatron of the scheme. 

Whenfarms got bigger, Sir Colin 

asked farmers to donate more than one 

calf. He soldraffle ticketsand donated 

the money he got from speaking 

engagements to the scheme. 

He later donated Pinetree Farmso 

thatpeople with intellectual 

disabilities couldbesupportedtolive 

and work on afarm. 

Farmers have helped raise more than 

$40 million over the past 40 years with 

over10,000 farmersdonatingduring 

thistime,inanenormous show of 

support from the farming community 

for people withintellectual 

disabilities.

farmers need?

Poles helping to reduce erosion 

Around8000 poplarand willowpoles will 

be deliveredtomore than 100 North 

Canterbury farms thisyear as partof 

Environment Canterbury’s(ECan)Soil 

Conservation and Revegetation (SCAR) 

Programme. 

The fouryear programme, whichiscofundedbyECan 

andthe Ministry for 

Primary Industries (MPI), aims to reduce 

erosion and sediment loss, and stabilise 

damaged land in North Canterbury’s hillcountry. 

Farmers taking part in the programme 

are abletodecrease the amount of 

sediment washedinto waterways, which 

will deliver longterm environmental 

benefits such as betterwater quality. 

They do this by planting poplarand 

willowpoles, retiring erosion proneland 

and identifying erosionproneland with 

land use capability maps. 

The programme is in its third year and 

demandfor poles has been increasing 

steadily. 

ECan Hurunui Waiau land management 

and biodiversity advisor AndrewTurnbull 

said support for the programme from 

farmers and the community was 

continuing to grow. 

‘‘A major success of the programme is 

Planting ... Sam Thompson planting a 

poplar pole on aNorth Canterbury farm.

being able to connect farmerswith 

different expertise within ECan. We’re 

enablingthem to seek awide range of 

advice and in some cases otherfunding 

opportunities to do workonfarm or in a 

catchment that benefits the environment 

and the wider community.’’ 

Arecentpole planting workshopwas 

heldinJuly at the Hoban family’s 

Glenafric Farm in Hurunui to 

demonstratehow to plant poplarand 

willow poles. ECan staff showedfarmers 

how and wheretoplant the threemetre 

polestoincrease success of reducing 

erosion on asteep sloped paddock. 

The workshop was led by Mr Turnbull 

and Sam Thompson, who is also aland 

managementand biodiversityadvisor. Mr 

Turnbullsaid the workshopishelpful to 

thosewho haven’t planted apoplar pole 

before and those wanting to upskill to 

improve thesurvival rateofthe poles. 

‘‘There are alot of benefitsinplanting 

poplar and willow poles on erosion prone 

hill country,’’ he said. ‘‘The main one is 

simply, thattheir root systems grow 

quickly, hold the soil on the hill and 

prevent mass movement from occurring 

during large scale weather events. 

‘‘Thepoles come with a1.7 metresleeve, 

this allows stock to grazethe areaafter 

beingrestrictedfor only one to two years, 

allowingland to continuebeing productive 

within theirfarm system.’’ 

Farmers are advisedtoleave 12 to 

15metres between soil conservation poles 

when planting,aswhen the trees reach 

maturity the roots will interlockstabilising 

the areainbetween the treeswithout 

compromising pasture growth.

Dominant Nth Canty take win 

RUGBY 

By LINDSAY KERR 

The North Canterburyrugbysenior side 

climbed another step on its seasonal 

ladder with an emphatic3114victory over 

aCantabriansunder23selection on 

Saturday. 

Played in ideal conditions on an 

excellent playing surface at Woodend, the 

NorthCanterbury forward pack laid the 

platform for its win. 

The deeperthe game went, themore 

dominant they became. While the tight five 

gained superiority at scrum time, the loose 

trio of JoshMaynard, Dan Brookerand 

Andrew Hull wonthe clashatthe 

breakdown. The backs ran with 

confidence as play revolved around 

second fiveeightMike Keane, who 

producedanother top performance. 

With the game servingasthe final hit out 

before the annualclashagainst Ellesmere 

this Saturday, head coachesMatt Keane 

and James Lowe were delighted with their 

charges effort, but both tried to down play 

the quality of the effort. 

‘‘It was certainly another step up from 

last week100 percent. We can take alot 

from today, but there is alot of work to do 

this week still,’’said Keane. 

It was the Cantabrians that scored first 

afteronly fiveminutes, but North 

Canterbury respondedfrom the kickoff 

when Brooker burst through agap 15 

metres out to score. 

Play then seasawed until fiveminutes 

from half timewhen tigerish Ashley prop, 

Josh Duckworth, crashed over to score 

from aline out near the Cantabrians line. 

Brooker was again over the line before 

the break but lost the ball. Two minutes

The North CanterburyColtshad a 

disappointing final build up before its 

annual clash against their Ellesmere 

counterparts, goingdown 3412 to a 

Canterbury Pacifica XV. 

Also played at Woodend, North 

Canterbury competedoneven terms for 

much of the first half, but when the game 

was called to ahalt,following aserious 

injury to one of their players, all 

momentumwas lost. Facingthe second40 

minutes down 710, it was the visitors that 

took control of the game to run out 

convincing winners. North Canterbury 

trieswhere scored by Ra Hirowhera and 

player of the day SamsonVea who dotted 

down for adeservedtry in the second half. 

The North Canterbury Stags,aside of 

playersfrom the wider Ateam squad, and 

aselection of youngerplayers, could not 

repeat its winning formfrom last week 

losing 3312 to aCanterbury PacificaXV. 

Goinginto half time North Canterburywas 

in touchwith its opponents and spent 

much time on attack only for Pacifica to 

breakout and score again.The second half 

was an evencontest,but the Stags were 

unable to gainany sustainedforward

Cabinet Art for the District 

Cabinet art is coming to Waimakariri and now is 

the time for artists to get designing. 

Mayor Dan Gordon says he has been keen to get 

Waimakariri involved for some time and is really 

pleased this has finally happened. 

“I am apassionate supporter of the arts and we 

know that vibrant artwork makes our towns. This 

is afantastic opportunity for local artists toget 

involved and showcase their work which can only 

be positive for our district,” says Dan. 

Four cabinets, two inRangiora and one each 

in Woodend and Kaiapoi, have been chosen for 

beautification and artists are encouraged toget 

their designs in before Wednesday 31August. 

Chorus Community Relations Manager Jo Seddon 

says that it makes sense topartner with local 

councils, as they have the same goal in mind to 

discourage graffiti vandalism. 

“It is great to work with local councils when it 

comes to choosing cabinets and designs asthey 

know what their community needs,” Jo says. 

“Waimakariri District Council has nominated four 

cabinets and we’re really looking forward toseeing 

what local artists have inmind.” 

These cabinets become works of art, oen telling 

stories about the communities in which they are 

located, and help to discourage tagging. 

The Waimakariri Public Arts Trust will be coordinating 

designs and artists and Chairperson 

Jackie Watson says she is really looking forward to 

seeing what designs local artists come up with. 

“The project is agreat opportunity for our 

community. Not only do we get fantastic artwork 

in our streetscape, but also it provides work for 

and promotion of our local artists," says Jackie. 

Requests for designs are now open and the 

winning design for each cabinet will be chosen 

from entries received. 

All finished art will be included on the Chorus 

website and will be considered for the 2023 

Chorus Cabinet Art calendar, copies of which are 

sent around the world. 

Timing Issue for Speed Limit Bylaw Change 

Several recently changed speed limits in the 

Waimakariri District have been identified possibly 

as not enforceable due to atiming issue between 

local and national rules changing. 

The Council engaged with residents last year about 

lowering speed limits in and around the District. 

Changes to speeds were widely supported. 

However, some of the new speed limits were not 

legally enforceable due to the relevant Council 

bylaw (the Speed Limit Bylaw 2017) lapsing in 

September 2021 and adelay in the adoption of a 

new national register until May 2022. 

Council Chief Executive Jeff Millward says this 

means there may be some motorists who are 

eligible for arefund of speeding tickets issued 

during this period. 

“It’s anhonest mistake that wewanted to be up 

front about and acknowledge. Since realising this 

error, we’ve adopted the Speed Limits Bylaw 2022, 

which has resolved this legal anomaly. 

“The Council has been working closely with Police 

to identify the infringements impacted bythis 

error. Police enforcement action was done in 

good faith, and the Council apologises for any 

inconvenience caused.” 

Police will contact affected drivers advising them 

of the cancellation of their infringement notice as 

well as any associated demerit points. 

If an infringement fee has been paid, Police 

will refund the payment. Likewise, ifthe notice 

was referred tothe Court as an unpaid fine, 

Police will be contacting the Court to have the 

matter withdrawn.
