Appeal claims off-licence was 

granted under ‘apparent error’ 

CONCERNED: Woolston resident Paul McMahon has filed an appeal against the decision 

to grant an off-licence to Super Liquor Woolston. 

• By Natalie Pham 

A WOOLSTON resident 

has lodged an appeal against 

the decision to grant an offlicence 

to a liquor store in a 

“vulnerable” area. 

The appeal came after police, 

the medical officer of health, and 

a group of concerned residents 

failed to stop Super Liquor’s 

application on Ferry Rd. 

The store is located in a level 

9 deprived area, and there are 

now 13 off-licences within 

2km. The New Zealand Index 

of Deprivation ranges from one 

to 10 and measures the level of 

socioeconomic deprivation for 

areas. 

Last month, the Christchurch 

District Licensing Committee 

granted G & B Private Ltd an 

off-licence application to trade 

between 8am-11pm daily. 

One of the objectors, Paul 

McMahon, has submitted 

an appeal to the decision, 

requesting the Alcohol 

Regulatory and Licensing 

Authority either refuse the 

application or remit back to the 

committee for rehearing. 

The appeal claimed the 

DLC erred by deciding the 

new owners met the extended 

suitability. 

Medical officer of health representative 

Paula Williams said 

the applicant’s understanding 

of harm in this vulnerable community 

was limited. 

The applicant, Sukhwant 

Singh Brar, only had experience 

in farm management and freight 

contracting, she highlighted. 

As noted in the hearing: “Williams’ 

view is that in no way 

would such experience prepare 

the applicant for operating an 

off-licence in a vulnerable community.” 

She also raised a concern 

about the sale of high-alcohol 

single products, which Brar had 

chosen to sell at a low price. 

During the first visit to the 

store – which has been operating 

under a temporary licence for 14 

months – the licensing inspector 

Anneke Lavery found a bucket 

of single-sale beers on sale for $2 

each. The store also had an offer 

of three Baltika beers for $10 

fortnightly at the time. 

Lavery “felt the applicants 

would not be doing the same 

again.” She also referred to this 

as a “learning experience.” 

However, counsel for McMahon 

Dr Grant Hewison said 

there was no room for a learning 

experience in such an environment. 

When he asked if the offer 

of three Baltika cans for $10 

was socially responsible in a 

deprived area, Super Liquor 

franchise manager Paul Webster 

responded with “possibly not – 

no.” 

The appeal also claimed the 

DLC relied on an “apparent 

error” in its decision-making. 

As noted at the hearing, 

counsel for the liquor store Peter 

Egden said if the new licence 

would not be granted, the base 

licence held by the former owner 

would remain. 

However, the base licence 

of the liquor store already 

expired a month prior to the 

hearing. Neither the objectors 

or the counsel were aware of the 

expired licence. 

Said Hewison: “There was a 

big assumption at the hearing 

that if the applicants are not 

granted a licence, the store will 

still be there.

Financial burden for childcare centre 

• By Natalie Pham 

RECENT STORMS added a 

further burden to a communitybased 

childcare centre that is 

already in $50,000 debt. 

Last week, the main feature 

of the playground at Education 

Child Care Centre – a willow 

tree with built-in treehouse and 

flying fox – was split by a storm. 

Principal Sarah Webb- 

Matenga said the centre had to 

cordon off the tree and half of 

the playground. 

“We’ve had a quote of $3445 to 

make the tree safe but it requires 

further work to strengthen it and 

to anchor the flying fox again, 

which will probably mean an additional 

few thousands.” 

For the past two years, this 

Dallington-based centre has 

been cutting off its spending on 

maintenance services, including 

lawn mowing services. 

Webb-Matenga said staff have 

taken turns to mow the lawn. 

Sarah Webb-Matenga 

FINANCIAL BLOW: A split tree caused by recent storms has further burdened the finances of a childcare centre that is in 

$50,000 debt. Children at the centre would join forces with the Dallington community on clean-up days. 

“When things around the 

centre need to be repaired or 

replaced, we don’t have the finances 

to draw on and get done. 

We have to be very frugal.” 

ECCC was not eligible for any 

Government Covid-19 grants, 

including the wage subsidy. During 

lockdown, this non-profit 

centre waived all parents’ fees. 

As the centre remained paying 

teachers a full wage and relief 

teachers over the past two years, 

it has accumulated a debt of 

$50,000. 

Webb-Matenga, who has been 

at the centre for 20 years, said it 

has always run close to deficit, 

but it has never been in debt like 

this before. Her main concern is 

that the centre might not be able 

to provide financial assistance to 

families in the future. 

“We’ve always tried to support 

our whānau whenever we can. 

If families struggle to provide 

basics like school uniforms and 

food, we will do what we can to 

help,” she said. 

On top of access to basic necessities, 

the centre also reduces or 

waives fees for struggling families. 

“But these are sort of things 

we would no longer be able to 

offer now that we don’t have the 

money,” she said. 

Once the centre could not cut 

any further cost, teachers could 

face reduced hours and potential 

redundancy. 

Webb-Matenga said that teachers 

have taught there for long 

periods, with one being at the 

centre since 1989. 

Following the annual general 

meeting with the parent committee 

last month, she told families 

about the financial situation. 

“They have all been amazing 

and have been bringing donations 

of supplies such as baking 

supplies, wet wipes, disinfectant, 

and all number of things that are 

needed,” she said. 

Its Givealittle page to repair 

the willow tree has also received 

overwhelming support from 

the community with more than 

$1200 raised. 

ECCC has put together a grant 

application to the South Island’s 

largest funder, the Rātā Foundation. 

Last year, the centre received 

a grant of $3000 from the 

foundation for its new sunshade 

and safe fall bark. 

Foundation chief executive 

Leighton Evans said: “We want 

to see equitable access for tamariki 

and whānau to early childhood 

education, particularly in 

communities of need.” 

Throughout the year, children 

at ECCC often join forces with 

Dallington locals to clean up the 

surrounding area. 

They also carry rubbish bags 

and gloves whenever they go on 

their frequent excursions to the 

Avonside red zone.

Deprived area has 13 off-licences within 2km 

• From page 1 

“The previous owners 

could have lodged a renewal 

application 20 working days 

before the expiry date, but they 

did not,” Hewison said. 

This prompted the DLC to 

grant Super Liquor Woolston 

a fifth temporary licence to 

accommodate the hearing. 

“But how could there be 

another temporary licence if the 

base licence already expired?” 

Hewison said. 

“It appears that the committee 

believed that after the base 

licence was expired, as long as 

the temporary authority was 

granted before that, then it can 

continue on.” 

He added: “In fact, this is an 

application for a brand new 

store, because there is no longer 

any underlying licence.” 

According to the Sale and 

Supply of Alcohol Act 2012, 

when an application relates to 

a premise where an off-licence 

is in force and seeks the same 

conditions, the grounds for 

objection are limited to the 

suitability of the application. 

Much evidence presented by 

the residents at the hearing was 

excluded, as they were identified 

as matters of good order and 

amenity of locality. 

McMahon said he and other 

objectors had lots to say about 

deprivation and excessive of 

alcohol within the community. 

“But we were not allowed to 

WOOLSTON: There are 13 off-licences, including Super Liquor Woolston, within a 2km radius. Ongoing alcohol-related 

issues have led to a petition calling for an alcohol ban in Woolston Village. 

talk about that,” he said. 

Hewison said it would be 

a “different picture” for the 

application of a brand new store. 

The objectors can object to all 

criteria under section 105 the 

Act, including the effect of the 

licence on the good order and 

amenity of locality. 

In spite of statements from 

the medical officer of health 

representative and other 

objectors, the committee found 

Brar suitable to hold a licence. 

He and his cousin Jagroop 

Singh Brar, who is the other 

shareholder and director of the 

business, both have diplomas 

and experience in business 

management outside of the 

alcohol industry. 

“They have been running the 

bottle store without incident for 

some 14 months and have taken 

on board suggestions provided 

to them by the inspector in the 

course of regular inspections,” 

the committee said. 

The business also employed 

a “high experienced manager 

who takes an active role in the 

running of the business”. 

Sukhwant Singh Brar, the 

owner of Super Liquor Woolston, 

said the appeal has put pressures 

on his business. 

“We haven’t done any crime. 

We haven’t done anything 

wrong.” 

Said Brar: “We put in time 

and money and all that. You can 

imagine how much money is 

going into this, right?” 

The store is still operating 

under a temporary licence. 

Alcohol-related anti-social 

behaviour has been an ongoing 

issue in Woolston. Calls for 

police service in the area, which 

the store is located, average more 

than 700 a year for a 1km area 

for the past three years, with 

the last year having the highest 

number. 

In its latest meeting, the 

Waikura Linwood-Central- 

Heathcore Community Board 

asked the city council to 

investigate an alcohol ban after it 

received a petition from the local 

community. 

The petition, with more 

than 150 signatures, was in 

supporting for an alcohol ban.

Let us do this together 

Kia orana, Noa’ia, Talofa lava, Mauri,

The day began with a beautiful red 

dawn, the sky full of vibrant colours 

and translucent clouds and the sounds 

of birds welcoming spring. The first 

day of September comes with the 

promise of spring and the hope that 

summer is just around the corner. 

The term is rushing by and many 

of our ākonga are working hard to 

complete assignments and projects as 

they prepare for important NCEA assessments in the senior school. Their hard work 

and commitment is a credit to them, their kaiako/teachers and their whānau and I 

know they will reap rich rewards as a result of their efforts right now. 

Unfortunately due to ongoing COVID and 

other illnesses it is becoming more and more 

difficult for us to staff all classes at Haeata 

in Term 3. It is almost impossible to find 

relievers due to city-wide shortages and this 

is having an impact on the day to day running 

of our kura. 

To try and reduce the pressure on all 

of our staff and ensure they receive the 

noncontact time they are entitled to under 

their employment contracts we have made 

the decision to move to our online learning 

platforms for one day only on Friday 9th 

September 2022. All ākonga/students from 

Years 1 - 13 will be ‘learning from home’ on 

that day and will be marked as present on 

their attendance record. A Hail panui will be 

coming home with all of the details. 

We are excited to welcome the Education Review Office/Te Tari Arotake 

Mātauranga (ERO) to Haeata on Wednesday, 14th September 2022 for a two 

day visit. ERO is the New Zealand Government’s external evaluation agency and 

the team are coming to evaluate and report on the education and care of ākonga/ 

students at Haeata. The purpose of ERO’s review is to give whānau and our wider 

school community assurance about the quality of education that Haeata provides 

and ākonga/students receive. The team will be keen to speak with whānau so keep 

an eye out for the hui times and dates. 

I am so proud of our Rugby League team who competed at Nationals in Rotorua 

last week. A long way from home they 

represented Haeata with pride and 

spirit and played well! Ākonga back 

here at kura watched the team on 

the big screen in Te Tai o Mahaanui 

and enjoyed the live coverage as if 

they were there on the sideline with 

the team. Our thanks to the coaches, 

manager and supporters who travelled 

with them and ensured the week was 

a huge success.

The Year 9 

Science 

ākonga have 

been learning

Here are some examples of their fabulous

This helped in their learning about 

pollination and germination. 

Year 11-13 Matariki Senior Formal 

Friday 19th August 2022 

Our Senior Year 11 - 13 ākonga/students enjoyed a night to remember 

at our Matariki themed formal on Friday 19th August. They all dressed 

to impress, and danced the night away. 

Our Hospitality Team did a fantastic 

job with Kai during the evening, we are 

also grateful for the whānau support 

we received. The makeup team had 

a fabulous time getting our rangatahi 

ready. 

A huge mihi to our local businesses and 

other supporters who kindly sponsored 

our event, we are very grateful and the 

Formal was a huge success because of 

your aroha.

Funding applications 

open for projects 

that address 

climate change 

THE CITY council’s 

sustainability fund is now open 

and accepting applications 

for projects that help address 

the council’s climate change 

objectives and targets. 

Anyone can apply for funding, 

including community 

organisations, schools, social 

enterprises and businesses. 

The fund’s key objectives 

are to meet the challenge of 

climate change through every 

means available, to help our 

community understand and 

prepare for the ongoing impacts 

of climate change, benefit from 

a just transition to an innovative, 

low-emission economy 

and be guardians of our natural 

environment and taonga. 

“It’s awesome to see the 

range of ideas and projects that 

emerge every time we open the 

fund. We are lucky to have so 

many passionate, innovative, 

solution-focused groups delivering 

sustainability projects in 

Christchurch,” city council 

climate resilience lead Tony 

Moore said. 

“Through the sustainability 

fund we can encourage new 

ideas and support these groups, 

resulting in even bigger benefits 

for our community and environment.” 

Projects that have been funded 

previously include a car sharing 

network for the Little River 

community, setting up composting 

facilities in a school, 

a project that refurbished old 

laptops giving them to people 

in need, support for a business 

to establish a local plastics recycling 

facility, a climate coach to 

help reduce emissions in Lyttelton 

and the creation of a climate 

action campus. 

“We are keen to support 

projects that help reduce 

greenhouse gas emissions or 

grow community resilience to 

the local impacts of climate 

change. This time we would 

especially like to hear from 

schools, businesses and 

community groups who can 

help us reduce transport 

emissions, avoid waste and save 

energy,” Moore said. 

•Applications to the 

sustainability fund close 

on October 31. Decisions 

on funding will be made 

in early 2023. 

Astrid joins beginner 

sailing programme 

THE PLEASANT Point Sailing 

Club launched its 102nd sailing 

season on Sunday with 24 boats 

lining up for the starter’s gun, 

and another six just out to enjoy 

the day. 

The race started in light winds 

under sunny blue skies, with 

these conditions prevailing for 

much of the race. The forecast 

blustery nor’wester arrived for 

the last third to inject some 

excitement for the finish and 

provide great stories in the club 

house afterwards. 

This season the club has 

revised its learn-to-sail programmes 

and is offering a six 

week course, starting on September 

24, for those keen to give 

sailing a go. 

For those who miss this block 

or want extra guidance after 

completing it, dedicated ongoing 

coaching and support is planned 

throughout the season to ensure 

no-one slips through the cracks. 

In a new development, the club 

has added a Sigrid trailer sailer 

(Astrid) into its sailing development 

programme, to take the 

“classroom” onto the water. 

Astrid will be crewed by recent 

learn-to-sail graduates, providing 

real race experience under the 

close supervision and support of 

an on-board coach. 

“The overall aim is to enhance

Tuck in to a melting pot of cultures 

Chinese-ish is 

the title of a new 

cookbook, but also 

the way its authors 

Rosheen Kaul and 

Joanna Hu describe 

the style of recipes 

in it and their own 

identities. Here’s a 

couple of tempters 

to get you going. 

Mum’s braised ginger 

chicken 

TRADITION: 

In Chineseish, 

each 

section is 

accompanied 

by a story 

from Rosheen 

Kaul and 

Joanna 

Hu about 

their life 

experiences 

growing up 

in immigrant 

families with 

different 

expectations 

and life-styles. 

PHOTOS: 

ARMELLE 

HABIB 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

¼ cup (60ml) sesame oil 

6cm piece old ginger (see Note), 

skin on, sliced 

6-8 chicken thigh fillets, cut in 

half 

1 tsp salt 

1 tsp caster (superfine) sugar 

1 tsp light soy sauce 

1 Tbsp Shaoxing wine 

Steamed rice, to serve 

Directions 

Heat the sesame oil in a wok or 

a frying pan over medium heat, 

add the ginger and stir-fry until 

fragrant. 

Add the chicken pieces and 

stir-fry until they start to brown, 

4-5 minutes. 

Add the salt, sugar, 2½ Tbsp 

water and soy sauce and stir. 

Cover and allow to simmer for 

7-8 minutes. 

Pour the Shaoxing wine over 

the top and simmer briefly, until 

the chicken is cooked through. 

Serve hot with steamed rice and 

enjoy. 

Note: Old ginger is spicier than 

regular young ginger and has a 

fibrous, dry texture. Find it at 

most Asian grocers. If you can’t 

source any, use regular ginger 

instead. 

Cheats egg custard tart 

Makes 12 

Ingredients 

Vegetable oil, for brushing 

2 sheets shortcrust pastry 

Custard 

⅓ cup (75g) caster sugar 

150ml hot water 

2 eggs 

¼ cup (60ml) sweetened condensed 

milk 

½ tsp vanilla extract 

Directions 

For the custard, dissolve the 

sugar in the hot water in a saucepan 

over low heat, stirring to 

make a syrup. 

In a bowl, whisk the eggs, condensed 

milk and vanilla together 

to combine. While whisking 

continuously, slowly pour the 

sugar syrup into the egg mixture. 

Strain into a jug and allow to 

stand until the air bubbles dissipate. 

Set aside. 

Preheat the oven to 200degC . 

Lightly brush a 12-hole muffin 

tin or 12 fluted individual tart 

tins with oil. Cut the pastry 

sheets into 12 even squares 

and press into the greased tins, 

trimming off any excess. Chill in 

the fridge for 15-20 minutes. 

Line the pastry shells with 

baking paper and fill with 

pastry weights or uncooked rice. 

Blind-bake for 10 minutes, then 

carefully remove the paper and 

weights and bake for another 34 

minutes, until golden. Set aside 

to cool. 

Reduce the oven temperature 

to 140degC and divide the custard 

equally between the shells. 

Bake the tarts on the lowest 

shelf of your oven for 20-25 

minutes, until the filling is just 

set. Remove from the oven 

and allow to rest for about 15 

minutes. 

Enjoy the custard tarts while 

they’re warm.
