TOP NOTCH: Luxurious retirement village ‘The Pavillion’ has been inspired by iconic<br />
buildings, including Raffles in Singapore. Its opening cabaret featured Ali Harper.<br />
Retirement Raffles style<br />
UPMARKET retirement village<br />
Burlington in Prestons Rd has<br />
just unveiled the jewel in the<br />
crown of its luxury complex.<br />
Dubbed ‘The Pavilion’, the imposing<br />
two storey building sits in<br />
the heart of the village and comprises<br />
a restaurant, bar, indoor<br />
pool, movie theatre, hair salon,<br />
library, café, bakery, wellness<br />
centre and gym. Alongside those<br />
facilities are 42 one-and-twobedroom<br />
serviced apartments<br />
available in a range of sizes, up<br />
to 100m2 (with a 30m2 deck or<br />
balcony).<br />
Managing director Simon<br />
O’Dowd said The Pavilion is<br />
inspired by iconic buildings such<br />
as Raffles in Singapore and the<br />
Grand Pacific Hotel in Suva.<br />
“It’s important that our residents<br />
have a vibrant hub where<br />
they can spend time during the<br />
day and evening, to socialise and<br />
exercise,” he said.<br />
“Sometimes they’ll just pop<br />
in and relax in the library<br />
with a book while they have a<br />
cup of coffee or meet friends<br />
for morning tea. At night, the<br />
restaurant is in full swing and<br />
we’re planning a variety of<br />
regular evening entertainment.<br />
The cabaret with Ali Harper that<br />
opened The Pavilion was a huge<br />
hit.”<br />
Set on 15 hectares overlooking<br />
three man-made lakes,<br />
Burlington will have 214 houses<br />
when the last stage is completed.<br />
Apartments start at $394,000<br />
and houses at $938,000, with a<br />
range of serviced options.<br />
O’Dowd said while some<br />
people are looking to downsize,<br />
others still want bigger homes.<br />
In answer to that demand, Burlington<br />
is launching a new 2<strong>20</strong>sq<br />
m house design featuring two<br />
living areas, three bedrooms,<br />
two-and-a-half bathrooms, and a<br />
double garage.<br />
“Everyone has different needs<br />
and we’ve worked hard at Burlington<br />
to make sure we can offer<br />
a variety of options to suit what<br />
people want. While many of our<br />
residents are retired, some still<br />
head out to work each day and<br />
we have to make sure they’re<br />
catered for with the likes of our<br />
exercise classes and other activities<br />
on offer.”<br />
Together with the independent<br />
living options, Burlington has a<br />
care centre comprising 60 rest<br />
home/hospital rooms, all with an<br />
ensuite and outdoor living area,<br />
and a boutique <strong>20</strong>-room dementia<br />
facility.<br />
Designed by Kerry Mason and<br />
Huia Reriti of +MAP Architects,<br />
Burlington is owned by Qestral<br />
Corporation which also has<br />
Alpine View, also in Prestons<br />
Rd, and the soon-to-be-opened<br />
Banbury Park in Halswell,<br />
together with Coastal View<br />
Lifestyle Village in Nelson.<br />

Iconic city street on display in miniature<br />
• By David Clarkson<br />
CANTERBURY Museum’s<br />
early Christchurch street will<br />
be stored away for years while<br />
the museum’s $<strong>20</strong>5 million<br />
redevelopment goes on, but the<br />
city’s talented model makers<br />
have ensured that it can still be<br />
on display – in miniature form.<br />
The work by the team of<br />
miniaturists will go on display<br />
at Labour Weekend for the first<br />
time, as part of their national<br />
convention which is being held<br />
in Christchurch after years of<br />
Covid delays.<br />
It is a 12th-scale replica of<br />
the street that has been a classic<br />
display at the museum for many<br />
years.<br />
Work has now begun on moving<br />
2.3 million taonga (treasures)<br />
out of the museum, and the<br />
downstairs galleries will begin<br />
being closed from December.<br />
The museum redevelopment project<br />
is expected to take five years.<br />
The Garden City Miniatures<br />
Club modellers may approach<br />
the museum to see if the newly<br />
completed Christchurch street<br />
model can be displayed in the<br />
central city pop-up temporary<br />
exhibition space, which is due to<br />
open in <strong>20</strong>23.<br />
The replica was the idea of<br />
modeller Helen Goy, who passed<br />
the idea on to other members<br />
including Jewel Lewis – who<br />
immediately decided on a<br />
MODEL CITY: The miniature is a 12th-scale replica of the Christchurch street that has been<br />
a classic display at Canterbury Museum for many years.<br />
modelling format from her own<br />
childhood.<br />
“I looked at the idea, and<br />
decided, ‘This is a shoebox’,” said<br />
Lewis.<br />
The concept took her back to<br />
the displays she used to make as<br />
a child, setting up little scenes<br />
inside a shoebox with holes<br />
cut in the side and covered in<br />
cellophane for viewing. Lewis<br />
remembers this as being her first<br />
venture into miniatures, a hobby<br />
that has become a life-long passion.<br />
However, this museum “shoebox”<br />
was on a much larger scale,<br />
involving the work of more than<br />
<strong>20</strong> miniaturists.<br />
Members went to the museum<br />
to take a lot of measurements<br />
and then Bruce Coppard cut out<br />
the framework inside which the<br />
street now stands. Modellers<br />
were assigned shops from the<br />
museum street to remake in<br />
miniature and other members<br />
created the people who are in the<br />
street, the penny-farthing cycle,<br />
the horse, even birds.<br />
Lewis says there has been a bit<br />
of “poetic licence” to fit the shops<br />
into the display, but the overall<br />
effect is an extraordinary miniature<br />
reproduction of a place<br />
that is familiar to probably every<br />
Christchurch<br />
resident.<br />
She sees it<br />
as being interactive.<br />
People<br />
have to peep and<br />
peer through<br />
the viewing<br />
windows Jewel Lewis<br />
around the side<br />
to get their views of the shops<br />
and the street, just as they would<br />
have done with Lewis’ childhood<br />
shoebox models.<br />
It is a part of the Our World<br />
in Miniatures Exhibition which<br />
will be open to the public all<br />
Labour Weekend, including<br />
displays from model-makers<br />
who are gathering from all over<br />
the country.<br />
The display includes doll<br />
houses, scenes, vehicles –<br />
everything remade in miniature<br />
by hobbyists who have been<br />
delighted to see their pastime<br />
displayed on national television<br />
this year in the Great Big Tiny<br />
Design Challenge series.<br />
• The display is on<br />
from Saturday to<br />
Monday, <strong>October</strong> 22-24,<br />
at Silhouette Studios,<br />
6 Sheffield Crescent,<br />
Burnside, from 10am-4pm<br />
each day. Entry is $5 for<br />
adults, and a gold coin for<br />
children. The event also<br />
has 21 sales tables selling<br />
everything needed for<br />
this hobby.<br />

We were so impressed with Cameron and his team, we knew we were in<br />
great hands with their professionalism and amazing organisational skills.<br />
Everything ran so smoothly and efficiently. Cameron certainly knows what<br />
was happening with the market at the time we had our house listed and<br />
this was a huge part of us selling our home with him and our successful sale.<br />
A huge thank you to Cameron and his amazing team Sam and Lisa, I would<br />
certainly recommend them to everyone thinking of selling their home.<br />

Virtual walk brings back memories<br />
of earlier Travis Wetland excursions<br />
RYMAN Healthcare residents<br />
taking part in the Walking for<br />
Wellness event were excited the<br />
Travis Wetland park provided<br />
a historic backdrop for their<br />
walking challenge.<br />
Diana Isaac village resident<br />
Penny Beardsley and a group of<br />
fellow residents met at the start of<br />
the walk at the Beach Rd car park,<br />
colourfully dressed and pleased<br />
with their progress on Ryman’s<br />
Active Ageing event for <strong>20</strong>22.<br />
In New Zealand, Ryman<br />
residents are using their steps<br />
on pedometers and apps to add<br />
to their progress on a virtual<br />
walk along the Abel Tasman<br />
Coastal Track over the 30 days in<br />
<strong>October</strong>.<br />
In Australia, residents are<br />
virtually walking 60km of<br />
the Mornington Peninsula<br />
over the same timeframe.<br />
Ryman Healthcare has villages<br />
throughout New Zealand, and in<br />
Victoria, Australia, and the walks<br />
by 1,300 residents reflect this.<br />
In Christchurch, there have<br />
been a number of inter-village<br />
walks, including at Bottle Lake,<br />
Hagley Park, the Harry Ell Track<br />
and Travis Wetland.<br />
Penny said she was one of<br />
the city council’s walking coordinators<br />
under the stewardship<br />
HAPPY WALKERS: Diana Isaac residents Hope Williams (left), Sonia Deller, Penny Beardsley<br />
and Shirley Piper.<br />
of then mayor Vicki Buck in the<br />
1990s. Both she and her husband<br />
Ron (a member of the Fire<br />
Service) did physical work on the<br />
Travis Wetland walkway with<br />
hundreds of other people over<br />
many months.<br />
Pukekos and paradise ducks<br />
were out in support and the<br />
surrounding wetland bush<br />
looked stunning.<br />
“I’m very amazed to see<br />
how it (the wetlands area) has<br />
progressed. It was quite a little<br />
underwater swamp . . . It was<br />
kind of just scrub and rough<br />
tracks and everything was under<br />
water. We’re delighted to see it<br />
how it is now,” Penny said.<br />
Penny is a melanoma survivor.<br />
She regularly walked on<br />
Tuesdays with a group of other<br />
cancer survivors around Hagley<br />
Park, finishing with a cup of<br />
coffee at the Antigua Boat Shed<br />
Café.<br />
Alongside Penny was Shirley<br />
Piper, another keen walker.<br />
Shirley said she also took part<br />
in the earlier Hagley Park<br />
challenge, and with other<br />
residents enjoyed a coffee<br />
afterwards.<br />
Ryman chief strategy officer<br />
Mary-Anne Stone said the<br />
positive feedback from residents<br />
was continuing, with the virtual<br />
walk about halfway through.<br />
“It’s extraordinary how many<br />
people are out there walking and<br />
we’re hearing beautiful stories<br />
about the difference it’s making<br />
for them.”<br />
Some residents are using<br />
smartphones or smart watches<br />
to track their virtual steps, while<br />
others are using pedometers<br />
supplied by Ryman.<br />
A virtual awards ceremony<br />
will be held on November 23 to<br />
celebrate the winners.<br />

The McMaster & Heap<br />
family pets…..<br />
So very pleased to introduce this little<br />
guy….a 16 week old red Mandalay, who<br />
we stumbled upon by accident. Number<br />
four in the pet family. Undecided on name<br />
as it has be unique and fitting for such<br />
a clever, handsome boy.<br />
Frontrunners are Romeo,<br />
Claudius, Atticus, Titus or<br />
just Charlie. He has slotted<br />
into the McMasterHeap<br />
family incredibly well,<br />
introducing himself to both<br />
dogs fearlessly and Maximus,<br />
our big ginger DSH. He<br />
is confident but sensible,<br />
cuddly and gentle (he allows<br />
the tummy rub), all in all<br />
perfect for us. He’s already a<br />
FB favourite.<br />
I didn’t know much about<br />
the Mandalay breed. It was<br />
originally developed in NZL<br />
in the 1970’s, a Burmese<br />
mating to a Domestic Short<br />
Haired cat.<br />
Our Kittens lineage comes<br />
from Australia in which<br />
the initial cross was that<br />
of a Burmese and a British<br />
Shorthair. There were six<br />
kittens in his litter and his dad<br />
was a black Mandalay and his<br />
mum a Burmese.<br />
Next in the line up is our<br />
overweight loveable<br />
ginger cat Maximus. He<br />
loves a good sleep, all<br />
day in a sunny spot, at<br />
night under the covers,<br />
rarely seen patrolling the<br />
section or working out.<br />
Last week he was booked<br />
in for a dental scale and<br />
polish and full groom<br />
out. He’s impossible to<br />
attempt brushing his<br />
teeth and he can’t eat<br />
Prescription Diet Dental<br />
dry due to being solely<br />
on weight loss diet,<br />
so regular dentistry is<br />
required to keep his teeth and gums healthy.<br />
He is primarily Dylan’s cat and sticks to Dylan<br />
when he’s home. A loveable rogue who lives<br />
the easy life.<br />
Macy, our two and half year old Black<br />
Labrador, is again “my dog”. Her keen<br />
interests are sniffing out apples on our daily<br />
walks, retrieving anything that is thrown,<br />
swimming, and bodysurfing. She loves any<br />
form of exercise and is so obedient she’s<br />
walked off-leash everywhere. She hates<br />
making a mistake. Most<br />
days she’s seen either in<br />
reception at McMaster<br />
& Heap or pounding the<br />
tracks and roads around<br />
Hagley Park, several times<br />
a day.<br />
Our beautiful Lola turned<br />
13 on 30th September.<br />
She is nothing short of<br />
an angel and adored by<br />
most that know her. Again<br />
a FB favourite. She’s in<br />
great health considering<br />
she is a kidney cancer<br />
survivor. She can still<br />
manage a good hour’s<br />
walk everyday and a swim. She still<br />
flies North on holiday with us and<br />
is often seen consulting with me<br />
in my consult room. She definitely<br />
puts dogs at ease, calms the<br />
anxious, fearful ones and socialises<br />
with the puppies. She is the kindest<br />
most gentle dog there is and we<br />
are all better people having her in<br />
our life.<br />
I think four pets is a good<br />
number to stop at for<br />
now. We are very blessed<br />
to have these precious<br />
souls in our family.<br />

Baby charity calls<br />
out for donations<br />
• By Natalie Pham<br />
SOARING living<br />
costs have driven a<br />
“humongous” increase in<br />
demand for baby supplies<br />
at a charity.<br />
It Takes A Village Hub<br />
has put together more<br />
than 500 bundles for<br />
babies and toddlers in the<br />
past six months.<br />
At this rate, the charity<br />
is on the way to hit the 800<br />
mark “easily” by December.<br />
Each baby and toddler<br />
bundle contain essentials<br />
– from a newborn child up<br />
to five years old – including<br />
clothing, bedding,<br />
toiletries, toys and books.<br />
However, included items<br />
depend on stocks of donations.<br />
The charity is struggling<br />
to meet the demand for<br />
consumable items like<br />
toothbrushes and toothpaste,<br />
nappies and wipes,<br />
as they are one-off uses<br />
and low in donation.<br />
Co-director Danielle<br />
Petterd said requests for<br />
these items make up to 90<br />
per cent of applications.<br />
“An unexpected bill<br />
could put families behind<br />
for weeks. A bag of nappies<br />
could cost up to $18<br />
per week. So to be able<br />
to put that money onto<br />
power bills or pay off debts<br />
are a huge things for our<br />
families.”<br />
The charity put together<br />
more than 600 bundles<br />
last year. Before the pandemic,<br />
they used to do <strong>20</strong><br />
bundles a month.<br />
“(The) number of<br />
families in need has<br />
hugely increased since<br />
Covid-19 and living costs<br />
increased. It has just been<br />
absolutely insane to see a<br />
huge number of families<br />
in need out there,” Petterd<br />
said.<br />
Latest figures in a new<br />
ASB report show household<br />
weekly living costs<br />
are expected to increase<br />
by $110 over the next 12<br />
months, with two-thirds<br />
of the cost from either<br />
non-tradable goods/services<br />
or debt servicing.<br />
Petterd is urging people<br />
to donate their baby clothing<br />
so the charity can continue<br />
to help struggling<br />
families.<br />
“Without donations like<br />
these, we wouldn’t be able<br />
to do what we do for the<br />
families.”<br />
The charity recently<br />
cleared a wait list of<br />
ten families in need of<br />
newborn clothing. But<br />
Petterd said people are still<br />
coming through the door<br />
asking for help.<br />
The demand for baby<br />
supplies also outgrew she<br />
and co-director Jess Roberts’<br />
garages.<br />
Last year, with city<br />
council help, they managed<br />
to secure commercial<br />
premises in New Brighton.<br />
Petterd said in hindsight<br />
it was funny to see how<br />
they were able to fit all of<br />
the items in their houses<br />
for so long.<br />
The charity was born in<br />
<strong>20</strong>17 as a way to share baby<br />
supplies and resources to<br />
families that needed “a<br />
little extra help”.<br />

Safe speed<br />
neighbourhoods<br />
Way safer for everyone<br />
We’re making it safer around all schools<br />
and surrounding neighbourhoods.<br />
Whether you’re visiting whānau and friends,<br />
letting tamariki walk, scoot or bike to<br />
school, or driving to work or home again,<br />
you should be able to do it safely.<br />
Lower speeds save lives and prevent<br />
serious injuries. Regardless of the cause<br />
of a crash, speed is the difference between<br />
someone being able to walk away relatively<br />
unharmed or being seriously injured<br />
or killed.<br />
Working towards safer speeds<br />
When everyone travels a bit slower people feel safer to<br />
use the street, and walk, scoot or bike to parks, schools<br />
and local shops.<br />
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency have changed the<br />
way speed limits are set. This gives us an opportunity<br />
to implement an area-wide approach for consistency,<br />
especially around schools.<br />
Speeds also need to reflect the environment of the<br />
street, and our neighbourhood roads support speeds<br />
of 40km/h or lower.
Thursday <strong>October</strong> <strong>20</strong> <strong>20</strong>22 9<br />
Planned speed changes<br />
We’re planning to reduce speeds from 50km/h to 30km/h around all schools and 40km/h in<br />
neighbourhood streets, especially those around schools. We’ll start with areas shown on<br />
the map, then roll out more streets over the next ten years as funding allows.<br />

WE HAVE fraternal meetings<br />
during the day, as many<br />
members prefer not to drive<br />
at night or due to age are<br />
brought to the lodge by a<br />
family member.<br />
Meetings are less formal<br />
than the Freemasons lodges,<br />
which meet in the evenings.<br />
Our only ceremonies are<br />
opening and closing the lodge<br />
then joining our ladies for<br />
lunch, a speaker, an activity or<br />
an outing.<br />
The lodge was founded<br />
in 1990, based on a similar<br />
Australian idea, and was one<br />
of the first daylight lodges in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
We support Canterbury<br />
District Freemasons projects,<br />
such as volunteering for<br />
netball, car parking duties<br />
at Hazeldean Business Park,<br />
and Christmas gift wrapping<br />
COMMUNITY SERVICE: The Pegasus Daytime Lodge supports children’s charities<br />
and women’s refuges.<br />
at The Hub Hornby. Our<br />
pet project is repurposing<br />
used golf trolleys and<br />
Eco-shop bush buggies into<br />
carts for kids, which are then<br />
donated to charities such as<br />
the Cholmondeley Children’s<br />
Foundation, the Woolston<br />
after school care, and various<br />
women’s refuges. One of our<br />
members doubles as Santa at<br />
their Christmas functions.<br />
Freemasonry is open to<br />
men of good standing in<br />
the community over 18 and<br />
offers personal development<br />
training.<br />
As an older member and<br />
mentor, it is most rewarding<br />
to watch young men be<br />
initiated and to witness their<br />
progress into confident wellrounded<br />
members of society.<br />
There is no age limit, which<br />
is where the Pegasus Daylight<br />
Lodge excels by extending the<br />
masonic journey into twilight<br />
years.<br />
Freemasons are proud of<br />
the community work they<br />
do – for example, university<br />
scholarships, Rescue Helicopter<br />
Trust, Netball Canterbury,<br />
women’s refuges, medical<br />
research and many other<br />
individuals and organisations.<br />
Women are involved at a<br />
social level and their support<br />
is valued at the many events<br />
held regularly.<br />
• Pegasus Daylight<br />
Lodge meets on the<br />

NZ Cheese Month a chance to try local<br />
<strong>October</strong> is New Zealand<br />
Cheese Month, a time<br />
for cheesemakers to<br />
show off their wares<br />
and share their love<br />
of cheese, writes New<br />
Zealand Specialist<br />
Cheesemakers<br />
Association (NZSCA)<br />
chairwoman Catherine<br />
McNamara<br />
‘‘WE ALL end up with two or<br />
three ‘go to’ products that we<br />
know and love. However, for<br />
New Zealand Cheese Month<br />
this <strong>October</strong>, we’re encouraging<br />
cheese lovers to branch out and<br />
try a new New Zealand cheese.<br />
‘‘Our industry is constantly<br />
evolving and there are so many<br />
new locally made cheeses<br />
available. By challenging yourself<br />
to try something new, there’s<br />
a chance you’ll find a new<br />
favourite New Zealand cheese.’’<br />
As well as enjoyment, it can<br />
make economic sense for New<br />
Zealanders to buy local.<br />
‘‘Buying locally made cheese<br />
keeps jobs and money in our<br />
country. It’s also supporting<br />
our regions as many of the<br />
cheesemakers and the farms that<br />
support them are in rural areas.<br />
Buying New Zealand cheese<br />
reduces food miles.’’<br />
This year – the first New<br />
Zealand Cheese Month in two<br />
CHEESE PLEASE: As well as enjoyment, it can make economic sense for New Zealanders<br />
to buy New Zealand cheese.<br />

years without Covid restrictions<br />
– cheesemakers will host tastings<br />
across the country, sharing<br />
their wares and explaining the<br />
cheesemaking process with<br />
cheese lovers.<br />
Fonterra master cheesemaker<br />
and New Zealand champion<br />
cheesemaker for <strong>20</strong>22, Cathy<br />
Lang says every New Zealand<br />
cheese reflects the milk, soil,<br />
pasture and climate where it<br />
comes from.<br />
‘‘We have a diverse range<br />
of cheesemakers across our<br />
two islands who are extremely<br />
innovative, creating their own<br />
unique styles of cheese.<br />
‘‘When travelling around New<br />
Zealand, I like to seek out local<br />
cheese to challenge my tastebuds.<br />
‘‘This way I learn about what’s<br />
new and recommend these to<br />
my family and friends. We all get<br />
into the habit of buying the same<br />
cheese but you’ll be rewarded if<br />
you push the boat out and try a<br />
new New Zealand cheese.’’<br />
Food writer and cookbook<br />
author Kathy Paterson says<br />
New Zealand cheese is a good<br />
fit with her ‘‘buy-local lifestyle’’<br />
and her focus on supporting this<br />
country’s cheese producers.<br />
‘‘Locally sourced milk provides<br />
complexity, unparalleled<br />
flavour and texture in seasonal<br />
offerings from our devoted<br />
cheesemaking enthusiasts. New<br />
Zealand cheesemakers’ obsessive<br />
attention to quality is exciting<br />
and rewarded with depth of<br />
flavour.’’<br />
A specialist New Zealand<br />
Cheese Guide has also been<br />
released including suggestions<br />
for how to serve and store<br />
cheese, profiles on top <strong>20</strong>22 NZ<br />
Champions of Cheese Awards<br />
winners as well as a guide to the<br />
country’s top cheese stores.<br />
The association is giving<br />
people the chance to vote for<br />
their favourite cheese company,<br />
one person winning a box of<br />
cheese every month for a year.<br />
