Study into<br />
alcohol<br />
ban for<br />
Woolston<br />
under way<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
AN ALCOHOL ban for Woolston<br />
is being investigated.<br />
City council staff have started<br />
to collect information from<br />
police and council officers working<br />
in the area as a first step to<br />
determine whether a ban can be<br />
implemented.<br />
Photographic evidence of<br />
alcohol-related incidents in the<br />
area and a petition signed by<br />
residents were also included.<br />
This came after the city council<br />
decided to investigate a liquor ban<br />
after concerns about an increase<br />
in anti-social behaviour because<br />
of people consuming alcohol on<br />
the street.<br />
The investigation will take from<br />
one to two months. If there is sufficient<br />
evidence, staff will write a<br />
report recommending the council<br />
consider bringing in a temporary<br />
alcohol ban. However, the report<br />
will be delayed due to October’s<br />
local body elections.<br />
Under the Local Government<br />
Acts 2002, councils can impose<br />
a liquor ban in areas where ‘a<br />
high level of crime or disorder’<br />
has worsened through alcohol<br />
consumption.<br />
If the temporary ban appears to<br />
address the problems, the council<br />
will consult the community about<br />
imposing a permanent one.<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 />

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 />

Buses ‘woefully lacking’ in Dallington<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
DALLINGTON residents are<br />
asking for more bus options to<br />
combat social isolation.<br />
“Woefully lacking” is how<br />
Dallington Community Trust<br />
chairman David Collins<br />
described the<br />
available bus<br />
services.<br />
There are<br />
currently no buses<br />
going into the area<br />
after 9.25pm or out<br />
after 7.52pm, with<br />
David<br />
Collins<br />
the exception of<br />
Sundays when they<br />
run at 8.<strong>22</strong>pm and<br />
6.50pm respectively.<br />
The loss of the Orbiter bus<br />
after the 2011 earthquake also<br />
means residents have to wait<br />
30-minutes on weekdays and an<br />
hour on weekends to go to The<br />
Palms.<br />
“Restoring the Orbiter bus<br />
service through Dallington<br />
would help decrease the level of<br />
social isolation,” said Collins.<br />
He sent a letter to the Waitai<br />
Coastal-Burwood Community<br />
Board last week to raise<br />
awareness about the challenges<br />
facing residents.<br />
Said Collins: “There is not so<br />
much things to do in Dallington<br />
anymore. So elderly are feeling<br />
isolated as there is nothing to do<br />
and buses are limited.”<br />
With limited options for<br />
recreational activities, he said<br />
a group of young people had<br />
turned to vandalism and graffiti.<br />
Many stores have had their<br />
windows smashed or scratched,<br />
Collins said.<br />
The community craft shop<br />
on McBratneys Rd has also had<br />
multiple failed break-in attempts.<br />
Said Collins: “We’re lucky that<br />
we have a great graffiti team that<br />
will quickly come out and help<br />
with repainting the wall.”<br />
The team, which started out<br />
in 2008, is part of a city council<br />
initiative to reduce graffiti.<br />
However, the clean up team does<br />
not cover scratched or broken<br />
glass. To bring the community<br />
together, the trust has held many<br />
events over the past few years,<br />
including Christmas hunts and<br />
street barbecues.<br />
About 75 children participated<br />
in its Christmas event last year.<br />
NO RIDE: Dallington residents want the Orbiter bus service<br />
through the suburb restored. Below – There has been an<br />
increase in graffiti and tagging in the community.<br />

needs more buses? Email your views to<br />
natalie.pham@starmedia.kiwi<br />
The trustees also fund events<br />
that are not covered by grants.<br />
“It’s been getting difficult due<br />
to the reduction in funding. But<br />
we’re not the only organisation<br />
(which) suffers from that,”<br />
Collins said.<br />
He said the other main reason<br />
for the letter was to thank the<br />
community board for its support<br />
and funding of the craft store.<br />
However, it was also a<br />
reminder that the community is<br />
still here and “still have a need”.<br />
Environment Canterbury has<br />
not responded to questions from<br />
the <strong>Pegasus</strong> <strong>Post</strong> as to whether<br />
Orbiter bus services through<br />
Dallington will be restored in<br />
the future.<br />

Celeste<br />
Donovan<br />
Councillor for<br />
the Coastal Ward<br />
About me<br />
I am a coastal resident of Christchurch, born and raised, I<br />
love this city and especially our coastal communities.<br />
As a middle child in a bunch of 5 kids, I learned at an early<br />
age, how to strongly advocate for what was important to me.<br />
I have honed those early skills with a Masters’ degree in<br />
international relations and honours in politics and law, and<br />
through work in government.<br />
What is most important to me now, is standing up strong for our<br />
coastal communities as your elected councillor. I feel privileged every<br />
day to represent such a vibrant part of our city.<br />
Kia ora, I’m Celeste Donovan, Councillor for the<br />
Coastal Ward.<br />
Last year you elected me as your Councillor, and I hit the<br />
ground running. I have made strong strides already, and I<br />
seek your vote in the October election because there is a lot<br />
more that I want to achieve for you.<br />
What I have achieved so far<br />
Since my election last year, I have focused on bridging the<br />
gap between Council and our communities by establishing:<br />
• live streaming for Community Board meetings,<br />
• a community advisory group for the wastewater plant<br />
issues<br />
• an Engagement Working Group.<br />
I have got businesses and community groups the<br />
funding they need:<br />
• secured funding for a community centre in Parklands to<br />
help rebuild what was lost after the earthquakes.<br />
• helped coordinate a business support package for those<br />
impacted by Covid<br />
• supported progress on key urban regeneration projects,<br />
such as the New Brighton mall.<br />
What I plan to achieve if re-elected<br />
As an independent, I will prioritise the needs of the city, and<br />
as my actions show, I will advocate for you at the Council<br />
table. My priority goals for the coming term are:<br />
1. Action on climate change. I will help ensure<br />
our communities are at the forefront of decisionmaking<br />
to prepare for climate impacts, and ready to<br />
seize opportunities that arise from investment and<br />
development of a more climate-resilient city.<br />
2. Community engagement and empowering<br />
local decision making. I will work to establish a<br />
citizens’ panel, move our electoral system to Single<br />
Transferable Vote (STV) and have councillors elected<br />
at large across community board areas. I will seek to<br />
empower residents and community boards to equitably<br />
participate in local decision-making and climate<br />
adaptation planning.<br />
3. Developing our local communities and a more<br />
sustainable city<br />
I will work ensure support for local businesses, better<br />
public transport and urban planning and reconnecting<br />
people with their local areas so they can easily live,<br />
work, and play close to home.<br />

‘An alcohol ban is a very blunt tool’<br />
• From page 1<br />
Said Woolston resident Paul<br />
McMahon: “I’m glad that the<br />
council accepted there is enough<br />
evidence and now it’s time for<br />
them to get the right people<br />
around the table.”<br />
McMahon<br />
presented a<br />
petition to<br />
the Waikura<br />
Linwood-Central-Heathcote<br />
Community<br />
Board in July.<br />
Paul<br />
McMahon<br />
The petition,<br />
with more than<br />
170 signatures<br />
from residents,<br />
was in support of introducing an<br />
alcohol ban.<br />
McMahon said alcohol-related<br />
harm has been an ongoing issue<br />
in the community.<br />
“I am aware that an alcohol<br />
ban is a very blunt tool and is not<br />
a solution in itself. I do not wish<br />
to criminalise people who are<br />
poor and addicted to alcohol.”<br />
Last month, he lodged an appeal<br />
against the decision of the<br />
District Licensing Committee to<br />
grant an off-licence to a liquor<br />
store in a high deprived part of<br />
Woolston.<br />
The appeal came after a group<br />
of residents, police and the medical<br />
officer of health failed to stop<br />
Super Liquor Ferry Rd’s application.<br />
The store is located in a level<br />
nine deprived area.<br />
ACTION: Concerns about alcohol-related harm and litter in<br />
Woolston Village have led to a call for a ban on alcohol.<br />
The New Zealand Index of<br />
Deprivation ranges from one<br />
to 10 and measures the level of<br />
socioeconomic deprivation for<br />
areas. One represents areas<br />
with the least deprivation<br />
and 10 represents those with the<br />
most.<br />

Boutique Christchurch retirement village<br />
recognised for excellence in aged care<br />
The upscale and boutique Ashley Suites care facility<br />
within The Russley Village in Christchurch has carried<br />
off the prestigious Jackson Van Interiors Built and<br />
Grown Environment Award as part of the NZACA/<br />
EBOS Excellence in Care Awards.<br />
The award recognised how considered design,<br />
quality and a refreshed approach to residential aged<br />
care is delivering positive clinical outcomes for its<br />
residents.<br />
This was announced in Christchurch last night at the<br />
New Zealand Aged Care Association (NZACA) and<br />
Retirement Villages Association (RVA) joint Summit.<br />
The Ashley Suites is an elegant care residence<br />
comprising 44 care suites, offering rest home and<br />
hospital level care. Its completion in late 2019 enabled<br />
The Russley Village to fulfil its promise to residents of<br />
providing quality residential care within the village.<br />
The Russley Village is operated by the Generus<br />
Living Group. For Group Director Graham Wilkinson,<br />
announcement that Ashley Suites won the award was<br />
further confirmation that its positioning in the luxury<br />
end of retirement living not only resonated with the<br />
market but, more importantly, was investing in the<br />
wellbeing of residents.<br />
“With Ashley Suites we sought to provide a care<br />
offering and environment that was exceptional in the<br />
market. We focused on creating a beautiful residence<br />
from which tailored and meaningful care could be<br />
given. We are delighted that this approach has been<br />
recognised by the industry and is reflected in the care<br />
outcomes of our residents. The Ashley Suites offers a<br />
personalised care approach uniquely overlaid with a<br />
quality hospitality offering.”<br />
Wilkinson said Generus set out to craft villages<br />
that reflected their unique location and which enabled<br />
residents to retain their individuality. “I believe with<br />
Ashley Care Suites, and, indeed, The Russley Village, we<br />
have achieved that.”<br />
The stunning architecture of the care facility has<br />
been seamlessly integrated with the urban fabric of the<br />
broader village. The care facility residents of Ashley<br />
Suites enjoy the extensive amenities on offer within the<br />
wider village, including activities in the village pool,<br />
time in the garden or enjoying a restaurant experience<br />
with friends and family.<br />
Spaciousness is a feature of the care suites, with a<br />
fully accessible ensuite bathroom and a kitchenette with<br />
a refrigerator and microwave to enable personalised<br />
and convenient light refreshments for residents and<br />
family. Individually controlled air-conditioning and a<br />
55in television add to the impressive amenity on offer.<br />
Aligned with the village’s upscale hospitality offering,<br />
residents of Ashley Suites enjoy a quality dining<br />
experience, supported by a dietician-designed gourmet<br />
menu and daily social hour.<br />
A private lounge area on the upper floor provides<br />
both residents and families a place to congregate,<br />
both for social engagements and also for respite and<br />
reflection. On the first floor, a dedicated salon and<br />
wellbeing suite allow residents to be pampered and<br />
groomed while maintaining dignity in the privacy of<br />
their residence.<br />
All residents can access an in-house physiotherapist,<br />
podiatrist, dedicated general practitioner, hair salon,<br />

“I’m proud to say we have created an environment<br />
which enhances a resident’s feeling of independence,<br />
freedom and choice,” said Wilkinson.<br />
“The collaborative approach we have fostered<br />
between our clinical team and family members is<br />
delivering remarkable outcomes and enhancing the<br />
daily life of both our residents and our team.”<br />
Generus was also a finalist in the newly founded<br />
RVA Sustainability awards under the APL Best<br />
Operator Led Sustainability Initiative category with<br />
their Bay of Plenty pilot project at Pacific Coast and<br />

HONOURED: Harley Roach with daughter Myiah and coaching the mixed team of 11-year-olds.<br />
Hawks league player to captain World Cup team<br />
• By Gary Foster<br />
SHIRLEY HAWKS rugby<br />
league player Harley Roach has<br />
been selected to captain the<br />
Kiwi PDRL World Cup team to<br />
compete in the United Kingdom<br />
in November.<br />
The World Cup in Warrington<br />
will be held in conjunction with<br />
the men’s and women’s World<br />
Cups.<br />
The Physical Disability Rugby<br />
League team was selected from<br />
PDRL players from throughout<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Harley plays for the Shirley<br />
Hawks presidents team in the<br />
Saturday competition.<br />
He also plays for the Shirley<br />
Hawks masters team. His club involvement<br />
also extends to coaching<br />
a Shirley Hawks 11-year-olds<br />
team. It includes his daughter,<br />
Myiah along with four other girls<br />
in the mixed gender team.<br />
Harley’s selection is a great<br />
honour for him, his whanau<br />
and the Shirley Hawks Club are<br />
exceptionally proud of him.<br />
Harley has only one arm but<br />
this has not stopped him participating<br />
in full contact games<br />
with distinction, in his favourite<br />
sport. He welcomes any player to<br />
join him at the Hawks, especially<br />
if you have not played before or<br />
have a disability.<br />
Said Harley: “Shirley is a fully<br />
inclusive club and if I was not<br />
playing for the Hawks, I would<br />
not have advanced to be a World<br />
Cup Kiwi.”<br />
South Island players usually<br />
have limited exposure for Kiwi<br />
selection. To have Harley represent<br />
Canterbury and the whole<br />
of the South Island is absolutely<br />
fantastic his Hawks coach Jimmy<br />
Young said.<br />
The club is hoping Harley brings<br />
the PDRL World Cup home to<br />
Shirley as a Christmas gift.<br />
•Anyone interested in<br />
joining the Hawks for 2023, can<br />
phone Jimmy Young on 021 420<br />
937 or the junior club captain<br />
Andre <strong>Post</strong>huma on 027 303<br />
7088. Players are welcome for all<br />
grades and abilities. For 2023 the<br />
club is focusing on entering a full<br />
girls team in the 12/13/14 year<br />
age, to complement the work<br />
Harley has achieved with his<br />
mixed 11-year-olds team.<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 />
150g 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 />

You will need a square cake tin<br />
20-<strong>22</strong>cm 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 />

It is with deep sadness we acknowledge the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who died<br />
peacefully at Balmoral on the afternoon of 8th <strong>September</strong> 20<strong>22</strong>. For many of us it<br />
is the end of an era and the end of her majesty’s 70 year reign. In 1990 the Queen<br />
visited Waitangi and acknowledged the problems of the past and the damaging legacy<br />
of the colonisation of Aotearoa and the negative impact on Māori. Queen Elizabeth<br />
affirmed that te Tiriti o Waitangi had been “imperfectly observed.”<br />
Our thoughts are with the British royal whānau and the House of Windsor at this<br />
sad time.<br />
I was privileged to speak at the<br />
NZEALS international educational<br />
leadership conference at the<br />
University of Waikato last week.<br />
I shared with conference delegates<br />
Haeata’s commitment to Kaupapa<br />
Māori principles of leadership and<br />
ako/teaching and learning.<br />
A highlight for me was hearing Keynote addresses<br />
by Mere Berryman, Russell Bishop and Anne Milne<br />
and then visiting Hobbiton for the conference dinner.<br />
Hobbiton is a place I would love to take our ākonga<br />
to as part of our Year 8 Camp project in 2023.<br />
A huge congratulations to the Kapa Haka Kura Tuarua<br />
Society national committee for their organisation<br />
of the national competition which has now returned after four long years. The<br />
committee were committed to holding a national event this year after the disruptions<br />
of COVID-19 lockdowns to ensure the 20<strong>22</strong> ākonga Year 12 cohort did not miss<br />
out on performing at the national competition in their secondary school years.<br />
The competition is being held over two days across five different regions and Haeata<br />
Community Campus has the privilege of hosting her in Ōtautahi. We wish these<br />
talented rangitahi well for the competition.<br />
Kaimahi/staff and ākonga/students<br />
welcomed members of the Education<br />
Review Office evaluation team to kura<br />
last week. It was exciting to be able to<br />
share the journey our kura has been on<br />
since their last visit in 2019.<br />

Dr Peggy Burrows, Manukura<br />
Kōmanawa Hapori<br />
For the past four weeks, ākonga from Takirau and Ohua in<br />
Kōmanawa have been taking part in Have A Go afternoons<br />
with St James students, run by ACTIS. This has involved<br />
being split into groups and then spending an afternoon playing<br />
either badminton, football, ripper rugby or cricket.<br />
These sessions are run by members of local sports groups<br />
like Canterbury football and are built around fun sessions<br />
designed to introduce skills and related games particular to<br />
these sports. The ākonga love these sessions, although some<br />
sports are more popular than others (until they get to try<br />
them), and many groaned loudly today when they realised<br />
the cooler weather had seen today’s sessions being cancelled.<br />
Not only are these sessions enjoyable but great learning<br />
experiences, so many of our tamariki are natural sports<br />
people!<br />
Haeata Community Campus hosts<br />
Christchurch Schools’ Music Festival<br />
area rehearsal<br />
As one of the participating<br />
schools, Haeata Community<br />
Campus had the privilege to<br />
host one of the area rehearsals<br />
of Christchurch Schools’<br />
Music Festival. The festival is<br />
organised by the Christchurch<br />
School Music Festival<br />
Association Inc (CSMFA), a<br />
charity registered with the<br />
Department of Internal Affairs.<br />
The CSMFA is made up of all<br />
schools involved in the current<br />
Music Festival.<br />
On each night of the Festival, a different Massed Choir of about 700 voices made up<br />
from some of the schools involved, performs a selection of songs with the support of<br />
the Junior and Senior Representative Choirs, the Concert Band and/or the Symphony<br />
Orchestra.<br />
The whole rationale of the Christchurch Schools’ Music festival is based on the<br />
involvement of choirs from schools in Christchurch, its environs and from the<br />
West Coast.<br />
The event will take place from 1 to 4 November in the<br />
Christchurch Town Hall.<br />
Haeata Community Campus presents<br />
“This is me” Performing Arts Production<br />
“This is me!” is an inspiring and<br />
uplifting production, giving voice to<br />
the hopes, dreams, potential, rights<br />
and individuality of our modern day<br />
youth, brought to you by the Haeata<br />
Community Campus Performing Arts<br />
department. The ākonga involved<br />
are representing year 6 – 13 and<br />
the event is a celebration of dance,<br />
singing and various forms of acting.<br />
The show will run for two evenings,<br />
27 and 28 <strong>September</strong>, with the first<br />
show being a dinner theatre event in<br />
collaboration with the hospitality team<br />
and the second a seated show.<br />

74A MONCKS SPUR ROAD | REDCLIFFS<br />
7 FRANCIS JAMES LANE | THE POWER OF ONE<br />
SOLD AT AUCTION | $1,500,000<br />
We have all heard the analogy, it only takes one. In the real estate world, unfortunately only one Family<br />
can buy a HOME. 7 Francis James Lane in Redcliffs was the prime example. With a successful campaign<br />
meeting 40 buyers through the open home and 28,853 online impressions, we managed to have one cash<br />
unconditional buyer in a position to purchase the HOME at auction.<br />
What do you do when there is only one bidder? Some people might think it is a disadvantage only having<br />
one bidder for their property, in the buyers eyes they are thinking 'why am I the only person wanting to<br />
buy this HOME?'. In this situation, your HOME specialist has to be creative and transparent. Having an<br />
open conversation with your only bidder is very important, also we need to talk to our conditional<br />
interested parties because the money at auction isn't always the best option for owners.<br />
When we conduct our auctions with one bidder, we brief the one party that they are the only person that<br />
we will be talking to through the auction process and create a strategy that allows us to pause the<br />
auction and enter into a private negotiation with the bidder and the vendor. In the case of 7 Francis<br />
James Lane, we had that transparent conversation and the bidding kicked off at $1,200,000, when there<br />
were no other parties there to participate in the bidding, a bid on behalf of the vendor was placed by<br />
the auctioneer at $1,250,000 and offered back to the highest bidder at $1,300,000. Once the bid was<br />
accepted we announced if there was no further bidding we would pause the auction and enter into a<br />
private negotiation with our highest bidder. After 40 Minutes of negotiations and life-changing<br />
conversations, the vendor and purchaser agreed on the final sale price of $1,500,000, and the HOME<br />
was withdrawn and SOLD.<br />
Through this process, we managed to achieve the highest possible price the market was willing to pay<br />
for 7 Francis James Lane which left our owners ecstatic.<br />
