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 />

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 />

demand for consumable items like toothbrushes and nappies. The charity<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 />

To celebrate cheese month,<br />
