OUTSTANDING: Ara second-year cookery student Gabby Sanders was crowned with the<br />
prestigious Nestle Golden Chef’s Hat in Melbourne for her medley of dishes.<br />
Young chef wins golden hat<br />
BACKING HERSELF and<br />
reaching for any opportunities<br />
that come her way has landed<br />
Gabby Sanders a glittering<br />
Australasian award for young<br />
chefs.<br />
The St Albans resident and<br />
Ara Institute of Canterbury – Te<br />
Pūkenga second year cookery<br />
student was crowned with<br />
the prestigious Nestle Golden<br />
Chef’s Hat in Melbourne –<br />
scooping up a $10,000 prize and<br />
earning her the description of<br />
“hottest rising star of the trans-<br />
Tasman culinary scene”.<br />
Said Sanders: “The whole<br />
experience has been amazing.<br />
The people I’ve met have been<br />
incredible. It’s made me realise<br />
the biggest step is pushing<br />
yourself and putting yourself<br />
out there to have a go.”<br />
Now in it’s 57th year, the<br />
award seeks to develop young<br />
chefs and kick-start their<br />
careers by taking part in live<br />
cook-offs to globally recognised<br />
standards.<br />
Sanders, 23, was one of 12<br />
finalists chosen from New<br />
Zealand and Australia for <strong>2022</strong><br />
after regional finals in both<br />
countries. She took part in the<br />
final battle on the big stage at<br />
Fine Food Australia last week –<br />
her first trip out of the country.<br />
The final round of the<br />
competition, to create three<br />
complex courses in threeand-half<br />
hours were a were “a<br />
pressure-fuelled blur,” she said.<br />
“It all feels kind of surreal.<br />
I didn’t look up once. I was<br />
absolutely sprinting. Everyone<br />
was just running. It was so<br />
much fun – the pressure of it is<br />
why we do what we do.”<br />
Sanders executed a triplegold<br />
winning medley of dishes<br />
comprising an entrée of leek,<br />
potato and smoked beurre<br />
blanc, nori and hazelnuts<br />
and a main of glazed pork,<br />
caramelised soy dumpling and<br />
Asian pork jus. Dessert was a<br />
chai spice cake, with caramel,<br />
coffee, walnut, pear and white<br />
chocolate.<br />
Ara manager culinary<br />
programmes Ryan Marshall<br />
said the Department of<br />
Hospitality and Service<br />
Industries was “over the moon”.<br />
“It’s very rare for someone<br />
to win a gold medal for every<br />
course for entrée, main and<br />
dessert under such massive<br />
pressure,” he said.<br />

Plan approved for popular recreation spot<br />
A RESERVE management plan<br />
and a long-term development<br />
plan have been adopted for Roto<br />
Kohatu Reserve – one of the<br />
city’s most popular spots for<br />
water sports and summer fun.<br />
The reserve, in Harewood,<br />
has two man-made freshwater<br />
lakes, making it an important<br />
habitat for wildlife and an easyto-reach<br />
aquatic playground<br />
for swimming, jet skiing, sail<br />
boating, canoeing and paddle<br />
boarding.<br />
A relocation of the main entrance<br />
to the reserve to Outlook<br />
Pl is already being planned, as<br />
are enhancements to the edge<br />
of Lake Rua to make it easier for<br />
people to swim and to launch<br />
boats.<br />
Other potential developments<br />
outlined in the plan include<br />
park-wide landscaping, such as<br />
additional picnic areas, shade<br />
areas, and pathways.<br />
There will also be a restoration<br />
enhancement programme that<br />
will include planting and pest<br />
plant control, and the addition<br />
of a new diving platform and a<br />
jetty, or pontoon, for swimmers.<br />
The canoe polo lake will be expanded,<br />
so it can accommodate<br />
two new ‘courts’, and new storage<br />
facilities near the shore edge<br />
of Lake Tahi will be created to<br />
facilitate a range of water-based<br />
sports.<br />
Said city council head of<br />
parks Andrew Rutledge: “It’s a<br />

groups.<br />
“The council has some funds<br />
allocated in the 2021-31 Long<br />
Term Plan for capital developments<br />
at Roto Kohatu Reserve,<br />
but the projects will need to be<br />
staged over several years and additional<br />

the 2024-34 Long Term Plan.’’<br />
Mana whenua, user groups<br />
and the public were consulted<br />
about the development plan and<br />
had input into it.<br />
“It was clear from the<br />
engagement work that we<br />
did that people really value<br />
Roto Kohatu Reserve. We are<br />
determined to make sure that we<br />
look after it and protect it so that<br />
future generations can enjoy all<br />
it offers,’’ Rutledge said.<br />

OTHER SERVICES ON OFFER<br />
AT MCMASTER & HEAP VETS<br />
We are a large Practice with 11 vets and over 20 nurses and offer many services<br />
to your amazing animal family. Id thought I’d just talk about a few things that<br />
you may not be aware that we do....<br />
CAT GROOMING<br />
Many long haired<br />
cats are booked in for<br />
sedation to have there<br />
knots groomed out<br />
or a Lion clip, to keep<br />
them cool for summer.<br />
These grooms can<br />
take 40 minutes and<br />
we can clip nails and<br />
clean ears too. Sedation is necessary as grooms<br />
take a while and can be painful especially if<br />
there are dense matts all through the coat. Most<br />
long haired cats won’t tolerate their owners<br />
grooming them. Skaapie has just had a Lion Clip<br />
with Letitia.<br />
NAIL TRIMS UNDER SEDATION<br />
Most dogs loathe their nails being clipped.<br />
Nails continue to grow and if not kept short<br />
can result in pain, lameness, fractured nails and<br />
infections due to excess licking. I book clients in<br />
for a 30 minute appointment at the end of my<br />
consulting schedule, as these patients require<br />
sedation to effectively clip the nails to the length<br />
they should be. I can reverse the sedation and<br />
then the dog goes home with pain relief on<br />
board.<br />
BREED ETE TESTING WITH Dr Steve Heap<br />
Steve eye tests dogs<br />
of all ages to rule in<br />
or out specific breed<br />
ocular abnormalities<br />
( Cataracts and<br />
Progressive Retinol<br />
atrophy and others)<br />
to see whether they<br />
are a candidate for<br />
Breeding purposes.<br />
NEW MRI on Site<br />
We are so pleased to be able to offer MRI for<br />
all pets in partnership with Pacific Radiology<br />
Services. Steve and I have always believed that<br />
our special furries deserve the same deal as<br />
us humans. Patients are referred to us for MRI,<br />
we sedate or anaesthetize the pet and closely<br />
monitor while the MRI is in progress. Once the<br />
images are complete we send off to a radiologist<br />
for their interpretation and then formulate<br />
the appropriate treatment plan whether it be<br />
surgery or conservative treatment. We are the<br />
very first Veterinary Clinic in NZL to have MRI<br />
on site.<br />
treatment for HYPERTHYROID cats. This<br />
treatment is a cure and means these cats don’t<br />
require lifelong daily medication and expensive<br />
ongoing blood testing and monitoring. There<br />
are a few criteria that must be met as not all<br />
cats are candidates for this treatment. These<br />
cats can’t be in kidney or heart failure. It is a<br />
painless injection of Radioactive Iodine that<br />
must be administered safely by a Veterinarian<br />
and then the cats board at our Practice for 7<br />
days to ensure we dispose of their waste safely.<br />
We usually do these treatments in batches of<br />
3-4 cats so they have company while they are<br />
boarding for the week.<br />
CHILL PROTCOAL FOR ANXIOUS/FEARFUL<br />
DOGS or CATS<br />
Many patients these days don’t enjoy a trip to<br />
the Vet clinic. We seem to be seeing more and<br />
more dogs that suffer general anxiety, OCD<br />
disorders, fear aggression and nervousness<br />
around other dogs. We have a concoction of<br />
three medications that are staggered and given<br />
at different times before the vet visit to hopefully<br />
somewhat decrease the anxiety and stress your<br />
pet feels on entering McMaster & Heap. This<br />
will often allow a vet to perform a limited exam,<br />
vaccinate the pet safely and possibly go onto<br />
sedate so more testing or a closer examination (<br />
like a nail trim, examine teeth, clean ears) can be<br />
performed.<br />
BLOOD<br />
TRANSFUSIONS<br />
Our Skilled team of<br />
vets and nurses are<br />
able to blood transfuse<br />
patients urgently if<br />
required. We have<br />
donor patients we use (<br />
plus stored refrigerated<br />
whole blood) but first<br />
we need to find out<br />
their blood type so we know if they are a match<br />
or not. The first transfusion for a dog can be any<br />
blood type though, but cats must always be<br />
transfused with their own blood type.<br />
CHEMOTHERPAY<br />
Dr Kirsty Thompson<br />
sees Chemotherapy<br />
referrals from all over<br />
the South Island. She<br />
has become very<br />
skilled, knowledgeable<br />
and passionate in the<br />
field of cancer and is<br />
able to make a real<br />
difference in terms of<br />
quality and extension<br />
of life in these patients. In the photo, a slow<br />
2-3 hour infusion of chemotherapy is delivered<br />
to Buffy, who was sedated, to treat Pancreatic<br />
Cancer.<br />

Marshall said Sanders’<br />
achievement was a boost<br />
for Ara.<br />
“Our reputation for<br />
training chefs is known<br />
throughout New Zealand;<br />
now it is becoming known<br />
at an international level<br />
too.”<br />
Sanders was working in<br />
a supermarket deli when<br />
she was encouraged by her<br />
boss to try the Ara cookery<br />
course.<br />
“The chef I was working<br />
with said he’d really<br />
enjoyed it and I should give<br />
it a go,” she said.<br />
Sanders said the level 4<br />
cookery course was new<br />
territory for<br />
her.<br />
“It was the first time I’d<br />
done anything like this<br />
other than always being<br />
keen on food and helping<br />
mum at home. I was<br />
probably a bit of a pain to<br />
be honest,” she laughed.<br />
“My family has always<br />
believed food is for sharing<br />
and for bringing people<br />
together, but I’d never<br />
really considered being a<br />
chef as a career for me.<br />
“I guess I never thought<br />
of myself as a ‘career<br />
person’ before because I’d<br />
never really had an idea in<br />
my head on what a career<br />
might look like for me. I<br />
was just open to trying<br />
new things and having<br />
new experiences under my<br />
belt,” Sanders said.<br />
Her inspiration to try the<br />
golden hat came from Ara.<br />
“I first saw the golden<br />
hat competition posters<br />
around campus and Ryan<br />
mentioned it. I tried out<br />
for the regionals last year<br />
FOR YOUR FUTURE<br />
and did okay winning a<br />
silver medal. This year I<br />
wanted to do better. The<br />
competition was really<br />
stiff, so I was kind of<br />
shocked when I won the<br />
South Islands.”<br />
Sanders also works<br />
two shifts a week at the<br />
Monday Room restaurant<br />
– an opportunity that also<br />
came about through her<br />
study.<br />

TRIPLE GOLD: Gabby<br />
Sanders’ winning main of<br />
glazed pork, caramelised<br />
soy dumpling and Asian<br />
pork jus and (above) her<br />
entrée of leek, potato and<br />
smoked beurre blanc, nori<br />
and hazelnuts.<br />
Right – Dessert was a chai<br />
spice cake, with caramel,<br />
coffee, walnut, pear and<br />
white chocolate.<br />
“I wasn’t sure if I was ready but<br />
towards the end of my first year,<br />
we were encouraged to apply to<br />
places for a work placement. I<br />
remember being very nervous,<br />
but it was only for two weeks,<br />
and I thought ‘what have I got to<br />
lose? I’ll give it a go’.”<br />
Sander’s flair, maturity and<br />
willingness to learn were soon<br />
noticed by her tutors at Ara. One<br />
in particular, Mark Sycamore,<br />
who himself has competed in<br />
international culinary competitions,<br />
stepped in to offer extra<br />
support and mentoring in his<br />
own time.<br />
“But it wasn’t without its challenges,”<br />
Sycamore said.<br />
“With Gabby being so busy<br />
with school and her paid work,<br />
it was really full on helping her<br />
practise for this competition.<br />
These last few weeks have been<br />
busy. But one of the things<br />
that sets Ara apart is our staff’s<br />
wealth of knowledge and their<br />
desire to go further. The team<br />
love to see students excel and<br />
will do so much to support them<br />
in their careers.”<br />
Sanders is grateful for the<br />
guidance.<br />
“Everyone at Ara has been so<br />
supportive. Mark has especially<br />
helped me realise that if you are<br />
putting yourself out there and<br />
trying hard people will make<br />
time for you and support you. It’s<br />
made me realise things can be<br />
achievable.”<br />
Head judge and Nestlé professional<br />
commercial development<br />
chef Elke Travers said Sanders<br />
showed absolute attention to<br />
detail.<br />
“Gabby rose to the challenge<br />
and created a flawlessly executed<br />
and perfectly balanced menu<br />
that showcased her technical<br />
skills to a high level,” Travers<br />
said.<br />
Sanders is now focusing<br />
on enjoying the moment and<br />
completing her studies.<br />
“I’ve met such an amazing<br />
group of people. We kind of<br />
forgot that we were competing<br />
against each other it feels like we<br />
meshed as a group.<br />
“But now I’m looking forward<br />
to finishing this year. I feel<br />
like my study has been on the<br />
backburner a bit while I’ve been<br />
distracted on this event.”<br />

NEW BOYS: Five young Tasmanian devils have arrived<br />
at Orana Wildlife Park, bringing the number of the<br />
endangered marsupials at the park to nine.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY, NEWSLINE<br />
Tasmanian devils join cohort to make<br />
new home at Orana Wildlife Park<br />
FIVE YOUNG Tasmanian devils<br />
have taken up residence at Orana<br />
Wildlife Park.<br />
The arrival last week of Pendlebury,<br />
Chester Campbell, Steele,<br />
Fox and John brings the number<br />
of Tasmanian devils at the park<br />
to nine, meaning Christchurch<br />
has one of the largest holdings of<br />
devils outside of Australia.<br />
The devils were transferred to<br />
Christchurch as part of the Save<br />
the Tasmanian Devil (STDP)<br />
ambassador programme.<br />
The arrival of the five young<br />
males doubles Orana’s devil<br />
population to nine.<br />
Orana has New Zealand’s largest<br />
Tasmanian devil habitat.<br />
“We are thrilled to welcome<br />
the five new boys to Orana,’’ said<br />
the park’s exotic species manager<br />
Rachael Mason.<br />
“Chester Campbell is the<br />
feistiest of the new arrivals and<br />
Fox doesn’t lag far behind in that<br />
regard. Steele and Pendleberry<br />
are rather mellow and John<br />
is the smallest and is quite<br />
calm and quiet but has beautiful<br />
long whiskers.<br />
“It is an absolute privilege<br />
for Orana to be involved in the<br />
ambassador programme and<br />
raise awareness on the plight of<br />
these magnificent marsupials,”<br />
Mason said.<br />
Devils@Cradle’s managing<br />
director Wade Anthony accompanied<br />
the Tasmanian devils to<br />
Christchurch.<br />
“Pendlebury and Steele are<br />
brothers and Fox is their halfbrother<br />
and all were born at<br />
our sanctuary in 2019. Chester<br />
Campbell and John are unrelated<br />
and moved to Devils@Cradle<br />
from the STDP programme for<br />
this transfer. These adult devils<br />
are in great condition.<br />
“They have travelled well and I<br />
know they will settle in to a happy<br />
and healthy life here at Orana,<br />
because Christchurch has a very<br />
similar climate and vegetation to<br />
Tasmania and Orana has a wonderful<br />
facility constructed specifically<br />
for devils,’’ Anthony said.<br />
Tasmanian devils are the<br />
world’s largest surviving carnivorous<br />
marsupials. They are<br />
nocturnal animals that live for<br />
approximately five-to-seven<br />
years in captivity.<br />
Sadly, devils are classified as<br />
endangered mainly due to a rare<br />
contagious cancer called Devil<br />
Facial Tumour Disease. The fatal<br />
disease has led to a population<br />
decline of over 60 per cent of<br />
wild devils and up to 90 per cent<br />
in some regions of Tasmania.<br />
The main aim of the STDP is<br />
to ensure the survival of the<br />
species.

SECOND CHANCE: Summerset donated this house<br />
from their retirement village land to the Papanui Baptist<br />
Church. The newly relocated house will be used to support<br />
community work.<br />
Donation saves house from demolition<br />
A PREBBLETON house has<br />
avoided demolition; instead it<br />
was donated and relocated to a<br />
church.<br />
Summerset Retirement Villages<br />
decided to save the vandalised<br />
Lockwood home after buying the<br />
land where it was located – the<br />
former Meadow Mushrooms site<br />
on Springs Rd – last year.<br />
Summerset is constructing<br />
a retirement village at the site,<br />
and recently opened its first 18<br />
completed units.<br />
Spokesperson Craig Jenkins<br />
said site development team<br />
members had been reluctant to<br />
see the existing house demolished,<br />
in spite of the fact it had<br />
become the target of vandals.<br />
They subsequently came up<br />
with a plan to gift, relocate and<br />
repurpose it.<br />
As the recipient, they chose the<br />
Papanui Baptist Church, which<br />
runs the community-focused<br />
Papanui Baptist Freedom Trust.<br />
“Being gifted a home requires<br />
logistical planning and the<br />
church were fortunate to have<br />
suitable and available land to relocate<br />
the home to,” Jenkins said.<br />
Church manager Carol Aitken<br />
recalled the delight she felt when<br />
receiving a letter with the news<br />
from Summerset.<br />
“It’s such a wonderful gesture<br />
from Summerset, and the property<br />
will be used to continue the<br />
community support functions<br />
that are desperately needed in<br />
our community.”<br />
Smith Cranes was involved in<br />
the removal and relocation to the<br />
church site on Sawyers Arms Rd.<br />
To recoup renovating costs,<br />
the church will rent out the<br />
property for the first couple of<br />
years to tenants who will be<br />
representatives of the church.<br />

CONCEPT DESIGN: The complex will include an 18-hole<br />
indoor mini golf course, 40-bay golf driving range, pro shop,<br />
function rooms and cafe, and batting cages for softball,<br />
cricket and baseball. Above – nearby Taiora: QEII Recreation<br />
and Sports Centre.<br />
QEII sports complex gets green light<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
A $12 MILLION multi-sport<br />
training and entertainment<br />
complex planned for QEII Park<br />
has received the go-ahead.<br />
The company Five Under Par<br />
Ltd will now have nine months<br />
to secure funding and provide<br />
sufficient financial information, a<br />
business plan and a final design.<br />
If satisfied with the provided<br />
information, the city council<br />
will enter into a lease with the<br />
company.<br />
The decision to grant an<br />
agreement was made by the<br />
Waitai Coastal-<br />
Burwood Community<br />
Board on Monday.<br />
The complex will<br />
include a mini golf<br />
course, a 40-bay golf<br />
driving range, batting<br />
cages for softball,<br />
cricket and baseball,<br />
function rooms and a<br />
cafe, and a pro shop.<br />
Alternate plans would be made<br />
Chris Bond<br />
for an eight-lane sack slide as the<br />
proposed area was not included<br />
in the available areas for<br />
lease.<br />
Said board chair Kelly<br />
Barber: “It’s very nice to<br />
see people prepare to take<br />
that risk to do something<br />
for the community.”<br />
Board member Linda<br />
Stewart said she was<br />
happy to see the plan go<br />
through.<br />
“It’s an element that we’ve been<br />
waiting for as QEII Park is in<br />
the middle of both wards and<br />
it’s a perfect location with the<br />
expressway.”<br />
City council head of city<br />
growth and property Bruce<br />
Rendall said the lease will be 20<br />
years, plus one right of renewal<br />
for a further term of <strong>15</strong> years less<br />
one day.<br />
“This makes a total lease term<br />
of 35 years less one day,” he said.<br />
The idea of bringing golf back<br />
to QEII first occurred to sole<br />
director of the company Chris<br />
Bond about five years ago.<br />
He was a former staff member<br />
at the Ascot driving range –<br />
the golf course that previously<br />
occupied the site.<br />
Said Bond: “[I] had so much<br />
fun working in the shop helping<br />
run the complex.”<br />
He said the complex will<br />
benefit all of Canterbury.<br />
About 25 retail and hospitality<br />
staff will be employed at the<br />
facility.<br />

A winning combination for early spring<br />
This slow-cooked, silky<br />
aubergine-chorizo<br />
casserole and a bright,<br />
zesty blood orange<br />
dessert are both<br />
made for double<br />
helpings, writes Nigel<br />
Slater<br />
Slow-cooked aubergine<br />
and chorizo<br />
This is a good-natured dish<br />
that will keep for a day or two.<br />
You could also use it as the filling<br />
for a savoury crumble, with a<br />
crust of breadcrumbs or flour,<br />
butter and crumbled feta. It is<br />
a dish to take your time over,<br />
letting the aubergine soften to<br />
the point where you could cut it<br />
with a spoon.<br />
Serves 4<br />
Ingredients<br />
2 Tbsp olive oil<br />
250g cooking chorizo<br />
1 red onion<br />
<strong>15</strong>0g soft, dried prunes<br />
500g aubergine<br />
1 tsp ground cumin<br />
1 tsp ground coriander<br />
500ml chicken stock<br />
Directions<br />
Warm the olive oil in a deep<br />
saucepan, break the chorizo into<br />
short pieces and add them to the<br />
oil. Let the chorizo cook for 3<br />
or 4 minutes until its torn edges<br />
start to turn golden. Peel and<br />
roughly chop the onion, add to<br />
the pan and continue cooking<br />
until the onion is soft and translucent.<br />
Stir in the prunes.<br />
Set the oven at 180degC. Halve<br />
the aubergine lengthways, cut<br />
into thick slices and then into<br />
small cubes. Add to the pan and<br />
continue cooking until soft and<br />
tender. Stir in the cumin and<br />
coriander and let it cook for a<br />
minute or so, then pour in the<br />
chicken stock, add salt and black<br />
a lid. Bake in the preheated oven<br />
for 45minutes until all is meltingly<br />
soft.<br />
Finely grate the orange zest,<br />
chop the herbs, then mix them<br />
together. Scatter over the stew as<br />
you ladle it into bowls.<br />
Blood orange and lemon<br />
cake<br />
I often cook this cake in early<br />
spring, usually in a traditional<br />
loaf tin, a cut-and-come-again to<br />
take us through the week. This<br />
time I made a shallow version<br />
to offer as dessert. The cake will<br />
cook quite quickly in a shallow,<br />
square tin. Keep an eye on its<br />
progress, testing it after 20 minutes.<br />
It will keep well, too, in a<br />

Thursday <strong>September</strong> <strong>15</strong> <strong>2022</strong><br />
20-22cm in diameter, lined with<br />
baking parchment.<br />
Directions<br />
Set the oven at 180degC. Put<br />
the butter and sugar into the<br />
bowl of a food mixer and beat<br />
until soft. Finely grate the orange<br />
and lemon zest. Sift the flour and<br />
baking powder, then stir in the<br />
ground almonds.<br />
Break the eggs into a bowl<br />
and beat with a fork. Add to the<br />
butter and sugar a little at time<br />
with the beater at moderate<br />
speed. Should the mixture<br />
curdle, add a little flour. Add<br />
the remaining flour, almonds<br />
and baking powder. Transfer<br />
the mixture to the lined tin,<br />
smoothing the surface as you go.<br />
Bake in the preheated oven for<br />
20-25 minutes.<br />
To make the syrup: Squeeze<br />
the lemon and the orange into a<br />
small saucepan, add the sugar,<br />
then bring to the boil. Let it cook<br />
for a couple of minutes until<br />
lightly syrupy, then remove from<br />
the heat. Using a metal skewer,<br />
pierce about 20 holes in the<br />
surface of the cake, then spoon<br />
the citrus syrup over. Leave the<br />
cake to cool then cut into 12<br />
pieces.<br />
In a cold bowl, whip the<br />
cream until it sits in soft folds,<br />
then place a spoonful on each<br />
cake. Remove the peel from the<br />
blood orange and separate the<br />
segments. Place one on each slice.<br />

Carl Bromley Standing for Mayor and Councillor for Innes Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
Hello, Kia Ora! I’m Carl Bromley. I am honoured<br />
to stand for Christchurch Mayor for Innes Ward<br />
as Councilor.<br />
I’m 52yrs of age, been married for 27yrs to an<br />
amazing woman. I have three adult children and<br />
three grandchildren. I am a Registered Nurse<br />
(non-practicing), and an ordained Pastor. I<br />
have 30yrs professionally specialising in Mental<br />
Health working with Adults, and young people,<br />
while concurrently serving the community as<br />
a Pastor, supporting families through their life<br />
journeys of ups and downs. I had a private<br />
practice as a Therapist, hence business<br />
experience. I have committed many hours to<br />
the community pro bono as a Therapist and<br />
minister.<br />
My vision is for Christchurch is to become the<br />
envy of all New Zealand through my five-point<br />
policy which I call ‘Giving Christchurch a High<br />
Five’:<br />
1. Empowering Christchurch To Thrive<br />
2. Freeing Christchurch To Choose<br />
3. Supporting Christchurch To Heal<br />
4. Leading Christchurch To Live<br />
5. Urging Christchurch To Unite<br />
I oppose any policy, or legislation, that<br />
prejudices people based upon Race, Religion,<br />
Gender, Political Viewpoint, or Medical Status.<br />
I am a strong advocate of the New Zealand Bill<br />
of Rights, justice, safety, freedom, and health.<br />
I bring conviction, courage, commitment, and<br />
compassion. Support me to support you to<br />
secure a ‘Happy, Healthy, Thriving and Free<br />
Christchurch’ for all.<br />
Let Common sense, and the voice of the people<br />
prevail! You can find me on Facebook:<br />

Phil Mauger Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
I am running for Mayor because I want to regain<br />
people’s trust in Council and get stuff done.<br />
With only 42% of residents having faith in what<br />
we do, this has got to be turned around.<br />
I have lived in Christchurch all my life working in<br />
our contracting business, building subdivisions<br />
and infrastructure all over the city. I have<br />
resigned from the business to focus on running<br />
for Mayor.<br />
My wife Chrissy and I have five children and<br />
nine grandchildren between us. I am the current<br />
Councillor for Burwood. I enjoy this role, but I<br />
can see how we can make things better and<br />
take Christchurch forward and make it a city<br />
that our kids and grandkids want to live in and<br />
return to.<br />
I have six policy platforms that if elected Mayor<br />
I will be promoting and actively supporting:<br />
• Keep rates affordable and reduce debt<br />
• Regain ratepayers’ confidence in the Council<br />
• Finish our roads and footpaths<br />
• Deliver core services better<br />
• Make Christchurch an even better place to live<br />
• Look after our Environment<br />
Council needs to regain your trust and listen to<br />
the community. I will work hard to do that.<br />
We need to listen to your concerns and together<br />
we need to make Christchurch the best city to<br />
work, live, play and invest in.<br />
Authorised by Phil Mauger, phil4mayor.co.nz<br />
David Meates Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
I’m standing for Mayor because I truly believe<br />
in the potential of Christchurch - but we need<br />
experienced, transparent and collaborative<br />
leadership to make it a reality. We need to<br />
move beyond petty, partisan, politics, for the<br />
good of our city.<br />
The top issue that I’m hearing and seeing is<br />
a lack of trust and confidence in the Council<br />
itself. In a recent poll, only 42% of 7,038<br />
residents were satisfied with the Council’s<br />
performance; the lowest satisfaction level in <strong>15</strong><br />
years. This needs to be addressed, as a matter<br />
of urgency - and it requires open, transparent<br />
and experienced leadership to do so.<br />
I was the CEO of the Canterbury District<br />
Health Board (CDHB) from 2009 to 2020,<br />
directly responsible for 12,000 direct<br />
employees and working in partnership<br />
with a further 9,000 health professionals in<br />
the community. Now is the time to use my<br />
experience, and collaborative approach to<br />
working with residents, to make our place<br />
New Zealand’s most attractive and vibrant city.<br />
Collaboration is key for me – not just listening<br />
to and engaging with our people, but also<br />
ensuring Council works actively with the<br />
arts community, with business, with tangata<br />
whenua, with our rangatahi (young people),<br />
with universities and social enterprises.<br />
We have a range of ‘big picture’ issues that<br />
we need to grapple with as a city - climate<br />
change, housing challenges, transport and<br />
connectedness, to name a few – together we<br />
can do so much more.<br />
I look forward to working with you as Mayor<br />
to become a truly 21st Century city where<br />
innovation and connectedness thrives.<br />
I promise that I will listen, lead and get results.<br />

The Wizard of NZ Standing for Christchurch Mayor<br />
A mayor is the democratically elected icon<br />
or face of the city, both to its citizens and to<br />
the world. Only resourceful and well-known<br />
individuals with a lengthy record of public<br />
service, influence on public affairs and<br />
independence from personal pressure, can<br />
in good faith stand for the office of Mayor of<br />
Christchurch.<br />
My position on social and cultural matters<br />
has been clearly expressed in my public<br />
actions and publications over the past fifty<br />
years. I make no secret of the fact that I share<br />
the good taste, aspirations and remarkable<br />
achievements of the Romantic Neo-Gothic<br />
founders of this special city.<br />
I am respected by those who love Christchurch<br />
and have for years stood beside those<br />
protesters who have tried to stop that dream<br />
being destroyed for money or power.<br />
As part of my heritage as a proud British<br />
subject and New Zealand citizen I despise<br />
racism especially when it is disguised as antiracism<br />
that is increasingly used as a tool to<br />
help ambitious politicians and businessmen to<br />
gain their objectives.<br />
Ask yourselves this question. What other<br />
mayoral candidate will make any substantial<br />
impact on the dysfunctional and costly<br />
complacency of the self-enriching City Council<br />
bureaucracy which behaves as if we are the<br />
public servants and they are our masters? I<br />
have demonstrated the determination and skill<br />
needed to outmanoeuvre bullies that I first<br />
demonstrated since the City Council daily tried<br />
unsuccessfully to have me arrested almost fifty<br />
years ago for “speaking out loud in Cathedral<br />
Square”.<br />

Alexandra Davids Standing for Councillor, Chch Central Ward<br />
As the current Chair of the Waikura Linwood-<br />
Central-Heathcote Community Board<br />
for the last two years, and a community<br />
board member for another seven years, I<br />
have acquired an in-depth understanding<br />
of how Council works and a strong base<br />
of governance and relationship-building<br />
experience. I have proven my ability to support<br />
residents and community groups across the<br />
ward.<br />

The Council needs a bold and exciting vision meet<br />

by others. action<br />
candidates<br />
is about protecting future-proofing<br />
for the City, but also needs to be commercially<br />

We need to make sure we get our basics right,<br />
including footpaths, roads, green spaces and<br />
increasing the tree canopy in the central city<br />
but we also must be better than basic.<br />
I am independent and not politically aligned. I<br />
will listen to the Central Ward community, and<br />
will make decisions and advocate for them<br />
based on merit and common sense, rather<br />
Our community needs to be at the centre of<br />
all we do. As the city intensifies, we need to<br />
be providing well maintained green spaces for<br />
people to connect, relax, and play. It would be<br />
wonderful to have a dedicated central city dog<br />
park for all those fur babies in the Ward!<br />
We need a city that is safe and affordable for<br />
our rangatahi (youth) and our elderly.<br />
Brave climate action is essential, and its<br />
implementation should be intertwined with all<br />
other city decision making. Ultimately, climate<br />
our city – for future generations.<br />

proud of what we’ve achieved together and<br />
I’m asking for your continued support to keep<br />
delivering for our community.<br />
I’ve secured a much-needed refresh of the<br />
area around the Stanmore Road shops, and<br />
a well-deserved Living Wage for city workers.<br />
I’m working on free pool access for children,<br />
because water safety is important and we need<br />
to reduce tragedies, and I’ve championed the<br />
crack down on land banking in our central city.<br />
But I know there’s still more to do and I’ve got<br />
a long list of things to crack on with including<br />
getting our shuttle bus back and investing in<br />
light-rail.<br />
I’m more committed than ever to working hard<br />
with our community to ensure the Central Ward<br />
continues to have a strong voice. facebook.<br />

Being on council is about representing your<br />
concerns at the city’s top table. As your<br />
Elected Member it’s my job to represent<br />
our view, not impose my political beliefs or<br />
ideology on you.<br />
It will be my job to bring us together to get<br />
things done. I have been doing this as a<br />
community advocate for the past few years<br />
and discovered that I have a passion for it and<br />
can get results. I advocated for the installation<br />
of over 2300 heat pumps in our council social<br />
housing. We got $16m and put a massive<br />
amount of pressure on the rental market to<br />
also lift its game.<br />
This has benefits for everyone in our<br />
community. Warmer homes cause less winter<br />
illnesses, reducing our health costs and<br />
keeping more doctors free to help people<br />
with other health issues. You can often find<br />
me behind the scenes. I helped build the<br />
sewercrisis.nz social media platform to put real<br />
pressure on the council to allocate $1m to help<br />
the Bromley and surrounding communities.<br />
I am that guy behind the camera in the<br />
live streaming we did to connect over 450<br />
residents to public meetings that they couldn’t<br />
get to. You may have seen me on TV or heard<br />
me on the radio. Making good use of the media<br />
to raise community concerns is important and<br />
not just the role of the mayor. Making sure we<br />
have a strong voice that is heard is important<br />

You have backed me as your city councillor for<br />
the past four terms.<br />
What sets me apart is I am not interested in<br />
why things can’t happen; I am committed to<br />
finding ways they can.<br />
I bring a business lens with a people focus that<br />
puts you and our city’s future at the heart of<br />
decision making.<br />
I am driven to cap the unsustainable rates<br />
rises and to enhance your quality of life with a<br />

the grain and I am committed to ensuring<br />
Christchurch is a sustainably prosperous, safe,<br />
and vibrant city now and for the future.<br />
Having served on the community board since<br />
2007, I have also been actively involved with a<br />
number of charities including the Bone Marrow<br />
Cancer Trust, Keep Christchurch Beautiful Inc,<br />
Diabetes Research Institute Trust, Maclean<br />
Institute Trust, and the Canterbury Earthquake<br />

I am standing as an independent. It will be<br />
my honour and privilege to represent the fine<br />
people of Fendalton, where I grew up and was<br />
schooled.<br />
“Our Positive Future”<br />
“Our” refers to my commitment to whanau,<br />
community, village and inclusiveness.<br />
Together we will design the future of our city.<br />
This, is the opposite of current alarming trends<br />
in adversarial, winner-takes-all politics that<br />
is not helpful in tackling the challenges and<br />
emergencies ahead.<br />
“Positive” is about aspiration, optimism, and<br />
hope. I will bring an enlightened, experienced<br />
world view to Council. I will restore trust and<br />
confidence in our institutions. I will seek a<br />
fairer division of wealth in Aotearoa, with more<br />
Head Offices and public transport in the super<br />
South Island. I will pursue active connection<br />
between town and country. I will bring back<br />
energy and excitement in music, dance arts<br />
and sports.<br />
“Future” is about activating visionary,<br />
innovative ideas quickly before they are swept<br />
up by other cities. I will work for us to be<br />
the leaders. Business as usual won’t work<br />
anymore. We are anxious about change even<br />
when we actually need and want it. But we will<br />
do this together, and together we will rebuild a<br />
cohesive society.<br />
I will listen, and work with you and, together,<br />
we will make Ōtautahi Christchurch a great<br />
21st century city - a city fit for our future, our<br />
children’s future, and their children’s future.<br />

Christchurch since moving to the city in 1997, Climate change is happening now and we<br />
and I have lived in the Harewood Ward area for need to act urgently to protect future Community Board who genuinely listen to<br />
the past 6 years. I have the skills, experience<br />
and qualifications to be a strong advocate for<br />
Harewood communities:<br />
• I’m an active listener with public sector<br />
experience, and strong communication skills<br />
• I have volunteered in the not-for-profit sector<br />
for over a decade, including in management<br />
and governance roles<br />
• I have degrees in both Arts and Science,<br />
and am currently completing a Master of<br />
Sport Science<br />
here. We are lucky to have many recreational<br />
areas on our doorstep, but access to these<br />
places is across busy, high-speed roads.<br />
I am concerned about urban sprawl with<br />
inadequate access to safe active and public<br />
transport options. Let’s build safer communities<br />
with great transport options, and make sure<br />
everyone is able to enjoy our wonderful<br />
reserves, parks and playgrounds.<br />

Aaron Keown Standing for re-election – Councillor for Harewood Ward<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
I am Aaron Keown, your councillor for the<br />
Harewood ward. I am proud to say I am also<br />
the chair of the CCC Disabilities Working Group.<br />
I am married with three children and we live<br />
here in the ward. I also own two unique small<br />
businesses that employ a number of people<br />
and help grow the Event & Tourism industry in<br />
Christchurch.<br />
I have met many of you in my time as an elected<br />
member, as I am always contactable and I do<br />
my best to get good outcomes for our ward and<br />
the hard working rate payers that live here. My<br />
voting record shows I’ve been true to the people<br />
of Harewood on a number of issues (Harewood<br />
Rd, traffic lights, rates, water charging, the<br />
stadium) and will speak up when something isn’t<br />
right. I’m outcome focused and constantly look<br />
for the best value for your money.<br />
My goals for the coming three years is to keep<br />
your rates down, deliver the stadium on time and<br />
on budget and move our transport system to one<br />
that works for everybody with roads that aren’t<br />
broken and actually flow. I believe with a bit of<br />
work we can make Christchurch the greatest<br />
little city in the world and that is why I am openly<br />
backing Phil Mauger to be the next mayor as<br />
together we will deliver on these promises.<br />

Pauline Cotter The People’s Choice candidate for Councillor - Innes Ward<br />
Our City can only be as strong as its people<br />
and that’s why community facilities and<br />
projects are crucial for social connections,<br />
education and well-being. I have a proven<br />
track record of empowering local residents<br />
and organisations, such as supporting the<br />
Residents Association to manage the St<br />
Albans Community Centre, and advocating<br />
for the acquisition of the adjacent section for<br />
a community garden. The Edgeware Pool<br />
groups’ vision to rebuild their pool has been<br />
accelerated by my successful Annual Plan<br />
bid for a Council grant of $3M, and I continue<br />
to advocate for a new community centre for<br />
Shirley, another community-led project.<br />
Councillors around the table next term<br />
will have major challenges in dealing with<br />
the multiple reforms coming from Central<br />
Government, and I am equipped with the<br />
experience as an RMA Commissioner, Board<br />
Chair, Director, and as a decision maker to<br />
contribute to this work.<br />
Top priority is mitigating climate change<br />
impacts, and this needs to be the lens through<br />
which we view all our planning and services,<br />
including providing safe, zero emission<br />
transport choices. By retaining and increasing<br />
our tree canopy and the increased level of<br />
funding for Councils’ Biodiversity partnership<br />
programmes and our Community Waterways<br />
Partnership we can achieve the vision of<br />
“Christchurch: A City in a Park”.<br />
I am committed to ensuring Council contributes<br />
within its areas of responsibility to a positive<br />
operating environment for business in the<br />
Central City and suburban areas.<br />

Ali Jones Standing for Councillor – Innes Ward<br />
With nine years on our local community board<br />
and three as a city councillor (2013-2016),<br />
I’d love your vote again. After a decade of<br />
working with earthquake claimants and groups<br />
including the community reference group (EQC<br />
inquiry) and EQC’s Claimant Representative<br />
Group, I have successfully advocated for<br />
people who need support and a voice. That is<br />
why I am standing for the City Council in <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
I’m politically independent and not beholden to<br />
any political party. With strong relationships in<br />
the not-for-profit, business, government, media<br />
and arts sectors, I’m well connected and have<br />
a broad knowledge.<br />
Traffic volumes and congestion continue to<br />
challenge. Buses and cycling are part of the<br />
answer but there are many other tools we<br />
must use. Improving light phasing; passengers<br />
and freight on rail; assessing effectiveness of<br />
road design; and understanding behavioural<br />
psychology when it comes to implementing<br />
changes because we need to be taking people<br />
with us not forcing them into doing something<br />
because there is no other choice.<br />
Issues in Innes need urgent innovative,<br />
focused and common-sense solutions, and<br />
I know they are there.<br />
Successfully managing environmental<br />
challenges is a top priority. Enough “green<br />
speak”; we need an holistic approach,<br />
supported by innovation and inspiration,<br />
and much ‘bigger’ thinking. The flooding in<br />
Edgeware has to be resolved; it’s gone on too<br />
long.<br />
We need green spaces and amenity to support<br />
the huge amount of new housing - this is a<br />
priority.<br />

Mike Davidson Standing for re-election to Council - Papanui Ward<br />

I’ve been active and accessible to the many<br />
communities in the Papanui Ward. It’s<br />
been rewarding helping so many individual<br />
residents, families and community groups over<br />
this time.<br />
I’m seeking re-election so I can continue<br />
to stand up for the Papanui Ward and ask<br />
for your vote so we can continue to make<br />
Christchurch a great place to live.<br />
I’ve focused on strong communities, a healthy<br />
environment and climate action, greater<br />
investment in core infrastructure and a safer,<br />
better transport system.<br />
I’ve championed safer speeds around<br />
schools and in neighbourhoods, investment<br />
in sustainable transport options of walking,<br />
cycling and public transport, and increased<br />
funding to repair footpaths and roads.<br />
Like you, I want to meet the challenges of<br />
climate change, through adaptation and<br />
mitigation. Council needs to increase tree<br />
canopy, green spaces and improve waterway<br />
quality. We need a city that’s accessible for<br />
everyone, affordable and safe.<br />
Council has improved transparency, with<br />
meetings held in public excluded reduced from<br />
35% in 2018 to 5% in 2021. However, there’s<br />
still work to do and Council also needs to<br />
improve how it engages with residents.<br />
I have proven experience and a track record<br />
of getting results for the Papanui Ward and<br />
the city. Being local, I know the opportunities<br />
and challenges. Being independent, I’m<br />
accountable to you.<br />
Your vote for me ensures a stable Council and<br />
that Christchurch moves forward.<br />

Planning for the future is vitally important but experience to the Council table. It would be my<br />
conversations with locals who say their voice<br />
is not being heard (e.g. Papanui - Harewood<br />
cycle way). They feel the Council is distracted<br />
with party politics and ideologies and not<br />
focused on people or community outcomes. I<br />
will listen and be a strong independent voice<br />
for the people of Papanui. I’m committed to<br />
focusing on getting the basics right, spending<br />
smarter and improving community input into<br />
decision making.<br />
it must be balanced with the needs of our<br />
community today. I will support investment<br />
in climate adaptation intiatives that are<br />
appropriate for Christchurch and supported<br />
by our communities. I firmly believe that to<br />
create sustainable change for our community<br />
over time the Council must work with local<br />
communities and not against them by forcing<br />
change on them.<br />
I will bring a mix of vision, practical and<br />

Kevin List Standing for Council and Community Board Waimairi<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
This local government election it is important<br />
voters in Waimairi are well informed about<br />
the policies of the candidates standing. The<br />
best way to fully inform yourself of what the<br />
respective candidates stand for is looking up the<br />
excellent website set up by the Spinoff creators<br />
at https://policy.nz/<strong>2022</strong>. If you have not got<br />
the time to check out this website then I will<br />
spell out clearly that I support the environment,<br />
community funding and public transport. It is<br />
also essential that voters in Waimairi are aware<br />
of the voting record of the incumbent.<br />
Councillor Sam Macdonald has set out his<br />
policy platform which totally ignores climate<br />
change and instead seeks to reduce spending<br />
on public transport. This is entirely consistent<br />
with Councillor Macdonald’s voting record in<br />
the last term of opposing funding to community<br />
groups and active transport initiatives.<br />
Councillor Macdonald also supported the<br />
resumption of spraying copious quantities<br />
of Glyphosate around parks and suburban<br />
neighbourhoods to cut costs. For years,<br />
forward-thinking, local government leaders like<br />
Vicki Buck have sought to move away from<br />
spraying carcinogenic poisons around our parks<br />
and schools.<br />
Councillor Macdonald wanted to bring this<br />
poison back into your backyard to save a few<br />
bucks.<br />
This term there is a clear alternative for those<br />
voters concerned about keeping our parks<br />
poison free, and those seeking practical realistic<br />
solutions to climate change such as subsidised<br />
and better public transport. To find out more<br />

Kia ora my name is Kevin. I’m a retired<br />

adult children and 1 rascally grandson. I live<br />
in Linwood and I love it. I’m standing as an<br />
independent for Ch-ch Central Community<br />
Board.<br />
I believe that politics, especially at this level,<br />
can be a noble occupation. I want to connect<br />
my community to the decision making process<br />
and restore trust in local democracy. To this<br />
end, if elected, I will set up a regular weekly<br />
open information exchange meeting, in<br />
Linwood Village. Residents will be welcome to<br />
chat about local issues, which I will feed back<br />
to the board and where they can find out about<br />
Council plans for our ward.<br />
Christchurch central ward is undergoing the<br />
greatest housing intensification in recent<br />
history. With many new dwellings having little<br />
outdoor space, with no garage or even off<br />
street parking. When these new residents and<br />
vehicles arrive they will have a huge impact on<br />
our streets and infrastructure.<br />
Although the ‘big’ decisions are made by the<br />
Government, through the RMA, Local Govt.NZ<br />
and City Council the Community Board have<br />
an important lobbying role and ability to input<br />
into Council decisions.<br />
Historically voter turnout for local elections is<br />
low. I’m hoping that a chance to be involved in<br />
decision making will excite you enough to vote.<br />
I respect individual freedom of choice and the<br />
truth.<br />
Thank you. Aroha. Kevin.<br />

John Miller Labour candidate for Community Board - Central Ward<br />
I want to improve the interface between<br />
citizens and the Council. As a community<br />
advocate and helper, I’ve learned how to<br />
navigate the many parts that make up the<br />
Council organisation.<br />
My name’s John Miller, and I’ve lived and<br />
worked in the Central Ward for 20 years. My<br />
experiences include managing communityowned<br />
properties, marketing communications,<br />
community development and advocacy. In<br />
recent years I was one of several volunteers<br />
who developed a Revitalisation Plan for the<br />
Inner City East. Successes from our work<br />
include a substantial reduction in kerbside<br />
dumping, and an interagency group that<br />
addressed crime and safety concerns around<br />
Linwood Village. Many lessons from these<br />
projects can be applied across other parts of<br />
Central. I’d like to expand these projects to<br />
continue improving public safety. I also believe<br />
that a service similar to the pre-2011 yellow<br />
City Shuttle buses is key to revitalising the<br />
inner city.<br />
We need a Community Board that empowers<br />
community and makes it easy to get good stuff<br />
done.<br />

cultural events, school galas, and at elderly<br />
care facilities. My parents had taught me to put<br />
people at heart, and to give back to society.<br />
My passion to make positive impact became<br />
a driver of my career choice, working at the<br />
Department of Corrections, working in an NGO<br />
supporting women and children encountering<br />
domestic violence, serving on advisory<br />
committees to the City Council, and leading<br />
various community projects and workshops<br />
focused on building a more cohesive and<br />
inclusive society. This is the neighbourhood I<br />
love and I want to ensure everyone’s voices<br />
are represented and heard, and I would love<br />
the opportunity to serve in our Community<br />
Board.<br />
Focus areas of particular interest to me<br />
include funding and resourcing community led<br />
initiatives, over intensified housing, crimes and<br />
safer roading and intersections.<br />
Most importantly, I’m keen to hear from the<br />
people and support their ideas and visions.<br />
I am positive that I will do well in terms of<br />
achieving good outcomes for the ward and<br />
I will be 100% committed to this role. I want<br />
to join hands with you to resolve issues, and<br />
harness the strength that is our communities.<br />
I would really appreciate your vote in this<br />
year’s election.<br />

Robbie Dobbie Standing for Innes Board of the CCC<br />
Local and truly Independent<br />
Edgeware has been my home since I was<br />
a teenager, and whilst I have lived in other<br />
areas of New Zealand, my heart has always<br />
been here. I have a strong all-round business<br />
background which includes business mentoring,<br />
coaching and business strategy consultation.<br />
My experience includes Operations,<br />
Project, Financial and Team management.<br />
My key strengths are Strategic; Achiever;<br />
Responsibility; Focus; Competition and Relator.<br />
I am a passionate, practical person who likes<br />
to produce results. My son and I are both<br />
particularly enthusiastic about health and fitness<br />
and we both are involved in the swimming<br />
community. My Core Values are Respect,<br />
Integrity, Community, Harmony.<br />
In my view a practical approach is critical for<br />
smooth-running of community services along<br />
with a functional approach to providing multimodal<br />
transport infrastructure that integrates<br />
well together. Effective communication is<br />
needed between local residents and their<br />
council to achieve the best results for the<br />
community.<br />
I am a supporter of keeping things LOCAL –<br />
retaining jobs here by making decisions that<br />
align and support that.<br />
I encourage local resident participation by<br />
actively listening to and prioritising their views<br />
and considering their health and wellbeing.<br />
I have a long history of interest in local<br />
government – out of personal interest, not<br />
political affiliations. My main interests for<br />
Christchurch and Innes ward are: drainage,<br />
roading, housing intensions, rates, and water<br />
quality.<br />
Innes community needs to have a strong local<br />
voice and I wish to be your voice...<br />

Emma Twaddell An Independent candidate for Community Board - Innes Ward<br />
After a successful first term, I will continue to<br />
provide strong, local leadership that pushes our<br />
Council. I will continue to listen to the voices<br />
of residents and will advocate for and support<br />
council projects that improve equity, improve<br />
sustainable living practices, and provide for<br />
resident’s wellbeing.<br />
I understand advocacy, good governance,<br />
and the oversight of operations. I want to see<br />
transparent decision-making as well as project<br />
budgets equalling the actuals.<br />
I will work for on-going improvement in the<br />
safety of our street environments, especially<br />
for our very young and very old. I support local<br />
amenities which improve the lives of residents<br />
and reduce current social issues such as<br />
isolation.<br />
I support improvements to our transport corridor<br />
infrastructure which provide us with mode<br />
options worth considering using.<br />
New greenspaces need to be added to our<br />
intensifying communities and our waterways,<br />
trees and wildlife need better protection. I<br />
support developing local food resilience. Our<br />
waterways could be better utilised for local flood<br />
protection.<br />
I’m excited to see a new Community Board<br />
structure this term with Central Ward joining<br />
Innes and Papanui. I believe this closer<br />
relationship with the city centre is a benefit for<br />
the communities of Innes Ward who enjoy the<br />
central city and see themselves as central city<br />
residents.<br />
I would like to thank my main sponsor, my mum.<br />
I’m very proud she wants to support me taking a<br />
stand and keep pushing for change. Thank you.<br />

Genevieve Robinson Standing for Environment Canterbury Central/Ohoko<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
As a trained journalist, I am used to asking the<br />
gnarly questions on behalf of the community,<br />
and the environment.<br />
My petition opposing the freshwater bottling<br />
consents in Belfast, was signed by 114,000,<br />
and as a founding member of Aotearoa<br />
Water Action, along with the community, we<br />
effectively challenged these consents in the<br />
Court of Appeal.<br />
With a family history of bowel cancer and<br />
a clear link between synthetic nitrogen<br />
fertiliser (SNF) and an increased prevalence<br />
of colorectal cancer, I want to see SNF<br />
reduced in all farming practices. I believe<br />
that with regenerative practices in place,<br />
and with government support, we can make<br />
serious changes at a grass roots level in both<br />
agricultural and horticultural farming.<br />
As deputy chair of Māui and Hector’s Dolphin<br />
Defenders and lead campaigner of The Pod,<br />
I have investigated the impacts and challenged<br />
the construction methods of the new cruise<br />
ship berth in Lyttelton.<br />
I will seek greater public engagement on<br />
consents affecting biodoversity, and campaign<br />
for Marine Protected Areas, and for the<br />
removal of all set nets from harbours, estuaries<br />
and rivers.<br />
We can no longer carry on with a “business as<br />
usual” approach to water use.<br />
As councillor, I will make sure a precautionary<br />
approach is taken on all new water consents,<br />
and will advocate for the mandatory forfeiture<br />
of all water consents prior to land sale.<br />
As an independent voice at Environment<br />
Canterbury, I will be a genuine holistic voice<br />
for the future of the community, and the<br />
environment.<br />

Brynlea Stocks The People’s Choice candidate for Environment Canterbury - Christchurch Central / Ohoko<br />
Kia ora my name is Brynlea Stocks and I was<br />
born and raised in Christchurch/Ōtautahi. I’m<br />
standing for the Canterbury Regional Council<br />
to represent those who are concerned about<br />
our future. The outcomes of the plans we<br />
decide today, will directly influence what kind of<br />
future the next generation inherits.<br />
I completed a Bachelor of Sustainability<br />
and Outdoor Education at Ara Institute of<br />
Canterbury in 2020. I have worked as a<br />
Compliance Monitor and Consents Planner for<br />
the last two years at Environment Canterbury.<br />
I’m an active member of the Riccarton<br />
Community Garden and the Christchurch West<br />
Melton Water Zone Committee.<br />
For too long we have prioritised economic<br />
growth at the expense of the environment. I will<br />
work to develop long-term solutions to climate<br />
change and other environmental challenges.<br />
Let’s create a Canterbury where everyone has<br />
access to clean drinking water, swimmable<br />
rivers and where cycling and buses are a<br />
viable alternative to cars.<br />
I believe it is crucial to take time to understand<br />
these issues from other people’s perspectives<br />
in order to come up with workable solutions to<br />
the environmental challenges that we face. By<br />
facilitating open and honest conversations and<br />
establishing strong communities, we will create<br />
effective and long lasting change.<br />
With your support I will fight for a resilient<br />
Canterbury for now and for future generations.<br />

Tane Apanui Canterbury Regional Councillor – standing for re-election<br />
Vote for one of your own.<br />
Every person that’s cleaned, pushed a<br />
tool, driven a truck, operated a machine or<br />
that’s worked in or along side transport and<br />
infrastructure teams deserves representation<br />
from one of their own.<br />
The Regional Council spends nearly half<br />
of its budget on transport and provides<br />
the leadership to the Regional Transport<br />
Committee which has a half billion dollar<br />
budget per year.<br />
I spent 20 years getting my hands dirty in<br />
industry and have three years experience in<br />
local government as the Deputy Chair of the<br />
Regional Transport Committee.<br />
The only way to have smarter infrastructure<br />
and stop project wastage is to know what it<br />
looks like.<br />

Ashley Campbell The ECan candidate for Christchurch North East/Orei<br />
Our future is in our hands.<br />
Let’s make it a future we’re proud of.<br />
Climate change is here – we must act, to<br />
protect our world and our children’s futures.<br />
Sometimes it seems overwhelming – but our<br />
actions can make a difference. And bodies<br />
such as ECan help us make that difference,<br />
through education, regulation, and good<br />
governance.<br />
If you elect me, I will focus on:<br />
• Restoring natural environments, to help<br />
protect our homes from rising waterways,<br />
provide habitat for native wildlife, and create<br />
carbon sinks to absorb and store greenhouse<br />
gasses.<br />
• Providing real transport choices by<br />
ensuring public transport is frequent, reliable,<br />
affordable, convenient, and safe.<br />
• Cleaning up our rivers so they become<br />
ecologically sustainable, swimmable, and<br />
safe.<br />
Why vote Ashley Campbell?<br />
I already have 11 years’ experience in a grassroots<br />
ecological campaign that is changing the<br />
shape of our city.<br />
In June 2011, when the Ōtākaro/Avon<br />
River red zone was announced I began<br />
the campaign to return it to nature. I was a<br />
founding member of Avon-Ōtākaro Network<br />
(AvON), and founder and former co-chair of<br />
Greening the Red Zone.<br />
For two years, I have been a community<br />
member of Te Tira Kāhikuhiku, the group<br />
advising on transitional uses of the red zones.<br />
As an ECan councillor I will use my experience<br />
to help us restore our region and protect our<br />
future.<br />

Joe Davies The People’s Choice - Labour candidate for Environment Canterbury<br />
I will place the health of our water and our<br />
community at the forefront of my decision<br />
making and will prioritise action on light rail<br />
and climate resilience. I will work for increased<br />
funding for tree planting projects and an<br />
affordable and accessible public transport<br />
system that reduces congestion on roads.<br />
I was head boy at Linwood College through<br />
the 2011 earthquakes where I worked with<br />
our community to look after our students and<br />
design and am a self-employed designer and<br />
contractor.<br />
I’ve spoken to many households throughout<br />
this campaign that want the basics done right<br />
and our children and grandchildren to inherit<br />
a natural and liveable environment. With your<br />
support I will work for a resilient Canterbury for<br />
now and for future generations.<br />

Andrea Davis Standing for ECan Christchurch West/Opuna<br />
Paid Advertising Feature<br />
I am very excited about the chance to work<br />
for Environment Canterbury and the families<br />
in the region. I believe that Canterbury is the<br />
best place in the world, however, we need to<br />
seriously prepare for the adverse effects of<br />
climate change. ECAN has a large role to play,<br />
and I am looking forward to the new resource<br />
management act, currently in draft and due for<br />
roll out this year.<br />
My main concern for the Christchurch West<br />
Ōpuna ward is the rate of arable land loss to<br />
housing. We see more pressure from housing<br />
developments on the boundary of rural land<br />
and facilities like quarries and the airport. It is<br />
important we balance growth with liveability.<br />
After clean air and water, another part of our<br />
quality-of-life equation is the way we travel to<br />
work and how we access our natural spaces.<br />
ECAN and CCC are working together to solve<br />
our transportation options and enhance our<br />
natural environments in Christchurch.<br />
My day job is as a Landscape Architect,<br />
specialising in Green Infrastructure. My<br />
Master of Landscape Architecture looked at<br />
a commemorative landscape in the Avonside<br />
Residential Red Zone honouring the displaced<br />
families of the redzone. I feel very strongly<br />
about people and their well being. Currently I<br />
am part time studying a Masters of Planning at<br />
Lincoln University, which I find fascinating.<br />
I hope to be a person who brings people<br />
together with the common goal of preserving<br />
and enhancing the Canterbury natural<br />
environment.<br />

I care deeply about Canterbury and its future.<br />
I am Christchurch born and raised and have<br />
been involved in environmental action within<br />
our community for over 20 years.<br />
I am a current ECan Councillor, a qualified<br />
RMA Commissioner and have led restoration<br />

which I Co-chair.<br />
I’m a father and am compelled to help protect<br />
our unique natural and cultural heritage to<br />
provide a secure future for our children.<br />
This requires us to continue to address the<br />
state of our waterways and biodiversity, and<br />
face up to the challenges of a changing climate<br />
– through mitigation and adaptation.<br />
I am determined to continue on Council to see<br />

John Stringer Standing for Environment Canterbury - West<br />
Born and educated in NW Christchurch, I have<br />
a masters degree, and teach at a local high<br />
school. Active in politics professionally and<br />
as a volunteer for over three decades (NZ<br />
and London) I was a Beehive press secretary<br />
and served locally on the Papanui-Innes<br />
community board where I fought successfully<br />
for the restoration of historic Papanui Bush<br />
(now planted with over 6000 native trees).<br />
I’m active with a farmers group on a project<br />
to restore a lost Canterbury river as a public<br />
reserve, improved fish nursery and waterfowl<br />
eco-system.<br />
Following a career in local business,<br />
parliament, youth mentoring, and education,<br />
I bring diverse and practical experience<br />
to the challenges facing our community,<br />
local decision-making, public transport and<br />
environmental challenges.<br />
Regional rate rises of 16.2% are<br />
unsustainable! Public transport isn’t delivering,<br />
over-engineered cycleways are too expensive,<br />
and waterways are degraded - something<br />
needs to change! With experience in business<br />
and governance I’d be a strong advocate on<br />
Regional Council.<br />
Passionate about local representation and<br />
the environment, I’m opposed to Central<br />
Government grabbing our ‘Three Waters.’<br />
I care about local people on fixed incomes<br />
facing rate hikes.<br />

Deon Swiggs Standing for ECan - Christchurch West/Ōpuna<br />
Canterbury has it all. It is a fabulous place<br />
to live, with everything you could want within<br />
reach. But we must continue to take action to<br />
ensure it stays that way.<br />
I have been a city councillor, I was the director<br />
of Rebuild Christchurch and have extensive<br />
experience in business and advocating for<br />
restoration of our environments and our<br />
communities. And I hold an MBA specialising<br />
in finance.<br />
I will bring to the council table a passion for<br />
our region, a determination to get things done,<br />
fact-based decision making, an understanding<br />
of the needs moving forward and a vision for a<br />
sustainable and productive future.<br />
As your ECan councillor you can expect<br />
open and frank communication about the<br />
matters that are important to you. I am always<br />
approachable and will tell you what is going<br />
on. As an independent candidate my focus will<br />
be firmly on what is best for our communities<br />
and our environment.<br />
There is much to be done. We must improve<br />
our public transport and secure it for the<br />
future. I will push for the government to<br />
honour its commitments to Canterbury rail<br />
and rapid transit. Steps need to be taken now<br />
to ensure our land use is fit for purpose to<br />
protect our productive lands, our water and<br />
our waterways. There is no reason why our 64<br />
regional waterways cannot all be swimmable.<br />
I have a track record of getting things done and<br />
will bring this track record to ECan.<br />
