Bins, charity boxes part of
rubbish system review
KERBSIDE BIN sizes and
issues caused by dumping
rubbish outside of charity boxes
are under review.
Consultation opened this
week on the proposed Draft
Waste Management and
Minimisation Bylaw 2023
bylaw, which allows regulation
of all waste collection services
and operations.
Currently the city council
has two waste bylaws – the
Waste Management Bylaw 2009
and the Cleanfill and Waste
Handling Operations Bylaw
2015.
City council resource recovery
manager Ross Trotter said the
current bylaws were legally due
for review in 2025.
“However, we decided to
review them sooner to ensure
they remain fit for purpose.
Following the review we
decided to replace the two
existing bylaws with the
proposed new one,” he said.
“The new bylaw is consistent
with recent changes to
regulations under the Waste
Minimisation Act and our
climate resilience strategy. It
will also assist in achieving
our Waste Management and
Minimisation Plan 2020,
including the goal to move
towards zero waste.”
Trotter said the proposed
changes will provide greater
flexibility. “Some of the
proposed changes will legally
enable us to adapt our services
easier in the future.”

Garden pantry comes to life
THE ST ALBANS community
garden pantry Pataka Kai has
been completed.
Resident Mark Wilson,
who has been a key figure in
the project, said it had been a
journey to get it the pantry built,
painted and stocked with food.
Much of the food comes
from the local residents and the
community garden itself, with
more vegetable beds planned.
“A community pantry is
exactly that, a pantry for
everyone, with a mantra of:
‘Take what you need’ and
‘share when you can’,” said
Wilson.
The pantry is built from
timber Wilson salvaged from
replaced fences and donated
off-cuts and the paint came
from the community and other
community gardens.
“Essentially it cost nothing
to build, just the time and
dedication to construct it. Seeing
all the children painting it and
it now being functional in front
of the St Albans Community
Centre was definitely a
worthwhile undertaking,” said
Wilson.
He was hopeful the
community garden, called
Kohinga Mara, would have
a good harvest of summer
vegetables in the coming weeks
and months.
“From humble beginnings of
an empty site of building rubble
UP-AND-RUNNING: Mark Wilson puts the finishing touches on the St Albans community
garden pantry Pataka Kai.
and overgrown weeds, our
garden has produced everything
from broccoli to beetroot,
cucumbers to corn,” Wilson
said.
“Euan Johnston, our CEG
(chief executive gardener), is
hard at work in the five raised
garden beds, herb beds and
strawberry patch most days
of the week. The bees in the
secure bee enclosure down at the
garden are also doing very well.
“We we started with a hive of
two boxes, now we are up to five.
They are thriving.
“We should have a decent
amount of local honey from
local gardens to partially fund
future developments at the
community garden, with
space yet for more garden beds
and plans for making the space
more accessible to all, including
wheel chairs and walking
frames.”
Wilson said attracting more
people to the garden, holding
gardening workshops and
continuing to promote more
sustainable food practices and
healthy community spaces
throughout our neighbourhoods
is the plan for this year.
Working bees are also held
once a month, usually on a
Sunday.

Quarry stone contributes to
one-of-a-kind crevice garden
Sunday 19th March 2023
Walk, jog or run?

You choose, do it your way!

www.city2surf.co.nz
Proudly supporting our
charitable partner the New
Zealand Flying Doctor Trust
AN UNUSUAL crevice
garden created just before the
2020 lockdown is proving a
hit with local, out of town and
international visitors to the
Botanic Gardens.
The garden is made of
Halswell Quarry stone
slabs set vertically and
close together, the unusual
topography creating
microclimates where alpine,
desert and cliff-dwelling
plants can live in harmony.
Renowned American
crevice garden designer
Kenton Seth designed and
built the new feature in
the rock garden area of the
Botanic Gardens in March
2020, and it is now almost
complete. It is the only crevice
garden in a public garden in
New Zealand.
Botanic Gardens
maintenance officer Grant
Matheson has been involved
in selecting all of the plants for
the crevice garden.
Plants have come from
in-house propogation and
reputable nurseries, as well as
gifted by collectors from the
New Zealand Alpine Garden
Society.
“All of the plants we have
chosen are from a known

reliable source and true to
type,” said Matheson.
“The rock and sand mimics
what you would find in the
wild; we trick the plants into
thinking they’re in a natural
environment.”
The special topography
means they can grow plants
that might otherwise need
to be in a shade house or
green house.
Said Matheson: “We
have sun and shade plants
depending on where the rock
sits. There’s a lot of visual
beauty in the way the rocks
are placed, they do look like a
mountain range in miniature.
“A lot of what we grow are
cushioning plants and we’re
going for a high population of
plants grown closer together
compared to the rock garden.
The resulting visual effect
gives you real bang for your
buck.”
He said it is “humbling”
to hear from international
visitors that the crevice and
rock gardens are footing
it with the best municipal
gardens on offer globally.

Using less water encouraged during heatwave
PEOPLE ARE being urged to
reduce their water use with hot
and dry conditions forecast for
the coming weeks.
Water demand in Christchurch
is increasing, and at peak times
there’s already pressure on the
water supply network.
Said city
council head
of three
waters Helen
Beaumont: “In
previous
Helen
Beaumont
years we’ve
seen extreme
pressure on the
Christchurch
water supplies when
temperatures have increased,
and we’re expecting that could
happen again in the coming days
and weeks.
“To help ease the burden on
our water supply network we’re
asking residents to be extra
mindful of their water use as
temperatures increase.”
She said irrigation systems and
unsupervised sprinklers use a lot
of water.
“To reduce your outdoor water
use we suggest watering for three
to five minutes every second day
with a hose or watering can.
“This is enough to keep plants
in good condition throughout
the hottest months. Watering
early in the morning or after
9pm means the water is absorbed
by the soil instead of evaporated
by the heat.”
HELPING HAND: Conserve water on hot days with these
top tips, including watering the garden in the morning
and doing fast washes.
PHOTOS: GETTY
Beaumont said if water
restrictions are needed later in
the summer, it won’t be because
of the risk of running out of
water; it’ll be to ease the pressure
on the water supply network.
“During hot weather demand
increases dramatically and we
struggle to get enough water
through the pipes and into our
reservoirs. If we can’t keep the
reservoirs filled, water pressure
drops across the network,” she
said.
“Having enough water in the
reservoirs is also essential for
fire-fighting, so pressure on the
water supply network can put us
at risk in emergency situations.
“We’re doing our best to lead
by example and have a leak
detection programme underway
to reduce the amount of wasted
water leaking from council
pipes.
“We’re also working directly
with commercial and residential
customers with leaks to help get
them sorted and avoid excess
water use charges.”
TOP TIPS
Hold your hoses - Using a
handheld hose to water your
garden gives you more control
and uses a lot less water.
Morning time? Watering
the garden is fine - Plants need
less water when the sun’s not
out and the wind’s died down.
Shorten your shower - Keep
your showers short and sweet.
Use a timer or match the
length of your shower with
your favourite song.
Slow the flow - Older showerheads
often use a lot more
water than needed. Replacing
it with a modern, low flow
showerhead is an easy cost saving
exercise, and you won’t lose
out on water pressure!
Seek the leak - Dripping
taps, showerheads, toilets and
leaky pipes can waste a lot of
water.Seek the leak and read
your water meter.
Be a one-load wonder -
Washing a full load of laundry
is the most water-efficient way
to do your laundry.
Contain the rain -Installing
a rainwater tank is a simple
process and provides another
water source.
It’s written in the starrating
- When buying
appliances, look for those with
the most stars from WELS
(Water Efficiency Labelling
Scheme).

free wi-fi in city
CHRISTCHURCH Free Wi-Fi has
reached a major milestone with more
than 100,000 connections from locals and
visitors.
Fibre broadband provider Enable and
the city council launched the service last
July as part of the economic development
and tourism strategies – providing a
high-quality free wi-fi service that is key
for any smart 21st-century city.
Developing Christchurch and ensuring
the city meets the needs of residents and
visitors through internet connectivity is
also a high priority for the city council.
“With summer here and the Buskers
Festival in full swing, it’s been lovely to
see locals and tourists alike making use of
this fantastic free service while they enjoy
everything the central city has to offer,”
said city council chief executive Dawn
Baxendale.
This summer, nearly 90 cruise vessels
are scheduled for the new cruise berth
facility at Lyttelton, and Christchurch
Airport is expecting the busiest summer
in two years – and this is just the beginning
as the city rebounds post-Covid.
“The launch of Christchurch Free Wi-Fi
last year coincided with borders reopening
to international travellers, so to see
the central city bustling with visitors and
David
Cooper
having them able to access
fast, reliable, and free
internet has been exciting
to see,” Enable chief
commercial officer David
Cooper said.
Numbers show tourists
are making the most of
the wi-fi service. There
has been a more than 40
per cent increase in connections and
substantially increased usage (Mb/s) on
the days cruise ships had excursions into
the city.
“Christchurch has so much to offer, and
to see visitors showcasing the city centre
to their family and friends back home
through our free service is exactly what
we were envisioning,” said Cooper.
“We’re excited to see connection numbers
continue to increase as tourists come
to explore our city, and as locals make
the most of the summer calendar with
events such as the Bread & Circus World
Buskers Festival taking place right now
throughout the city centre.”
The free wi-fi service extends from
the Bridge of Remembrance and along
Oxford Tce to Victoria Square, across to
Colombo St and back down Colombo St
to the Lichfield St corner.

ATHLETES FROM across
New Zealand descended on
Corsair Bay on Sunday for the
Canterbury Classic Triathlon and
Duathlon.
Environment Canterbury and
independent water quality testing
leading up to the event – which
doubled as the South Island age
group championships – showed
no contamination in the bay,
giving the Canterbury Triathlon
Club the confidence to proceed,
race director John Newsom said.
“It’s well known that you
should not go open swimming
for 24 to 48 hours at any venues
after heavy rain where there
may be storm water run-off. In
the last five years, there have
only been eight tests showing
contamination in Corsair Bay
and six of them are linked to
testing done directly after rain,”
Newsom said.
A wide variety of races were
held, including the aquathon
(swim-run) for children aged 5-9
and the main Olympic distance
triathlon and duathlon, where
the hilly route to Orton Bradley
and back was covered by the
cycle leg before a punishing run
around the trails and footpaths
between Corsair Bay and
Lyttelton. Saxon Morgan and
Brea Roderick won the Olympic
triathlon while Sam Anderson
and Lindy Millar took out the
duathlon.

Diversely delicious Buddha bowls
To have a healthy body we
need a diet of different
foods. Hagar Ozri gets
creative with Buddha
bowls, an easy way to
bring your ingredients
together for a taste delight
Job’s tears, shiitake and
tofu Buddha bowl with
tamari and ginger sauce
Ingredients
1 cup Job’s tears
200g block of tofu (firm or soft,
but not silky tofu)
1 packet of sliced dried shiitake
or 8 whole fresh — sliced, (2
mushrooms per serve)
1 broccoli, divided into florets
3cm finger of fresh ginger
Fresh coriander
Tamari (wheat-free naturally
brewed soy sauce)
Sprouts (Mung bean, alfalfa,
broccoli or pea sprouts)
Chilli (optional)
Directions
To cook Job’s tears, place in a
medium-sized pot, rinse in cold
water then toast the grains in the
pan, top up with water at least
1cm above the grains and bring
to the boil with the lid on.
Once boiling, turn heat to
med/low (check that it is not too
low, so the grain is still cooking).
Continue to cook on low for 40-

50 minutes until the grains are al
dente.
To prepare the tofu, take the
tofu out of its packet, drain the
water, wrap in a tea towel and set
aside.
Prepare the marinade by
combining ⅓ cup of water, ⅓
cup tamari soy sauce, 4 slices of
fresh ginger and 1 clove garlic.
Cut the tofu into cubes and
shallow-fry in a hot pan. When
crispy on all sides pop tofu into
the marinade while still hot.
Drain the shiitake, conserving
the water, and place in the pan
you used for the tofu. Add the
soak-water a little at a time,
keeping the mushrooms covered.
Cook until tender and set aside.
Prepare the sauce by using the
marinade from the tofu, whisk it
with a little sesame oil.
Dry-roast sunflower seeds,
pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds
for toppings.
Cut the broccoli into
individual florets, steam, and set
aside.
Now assemble the Buddha
bowl. First place the grain on
the bottom of the bowl and pile
it a little more in one half of the
bowl so it is visible when all
other ingredients are added.
Place the broccoli next to
the mound of grain, then place
the tofu and shiitake. Top with
sprouts and the seeds, drizzle
with some sauce, saving some
extra to top-up as you eat at the
table.

⅔ cup broad beans – shelled

2 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp of lemon juice
½ tsp salt
1 tsp harissa
Some fresh basil, chopped
Directions
Cook the millet: Place in a
