Bins, charity boxes part of<br />
rubbish system review<br />
KERBSIDE BIN sizes and<br />
issues caused by dumping<br />
rubbish outside of charity boxes<br />
are under review.<br />
Consultation opened this<br />
week on the proposed Draft<br />
Waste Management and<br />
Minimisation Bylaw 2<strong>02</strong>3<br />
bylaw, which allows regulation<br />
of all waste collection services<br />
and operations.<br />
Currently the city council<br />
has two waste bylaws – the<br />
Waste Management Bylaw 2009<br />
and the Cleanfill and Waste<br />
Handling Operations Bylaw<br />
2015.<br />
City council resource recovery<br />
manager Ross Trotter said the<br />
current bylaws were legally due<br />
for review in 2<strong>02</strong>5.<br />
“However, we decided to<br />
review them sooner to ensure<br />
they remain fit for purpose.<br />
Following the review we<br />
decided to replace the two<br />
existing bylaws with the<br />
proposed new one,” he said.<br />
“The new bylaw is consistent<br />
with recent changes to<br />
regulations under the Waste<br />
Minimisation Act and our<br />
climate resilience strategy. It<br />
will also assist in achieving<br />
our Waste Management and<br />
Minimisation Plan 2<strong>02</strong>0,<br />
including the goal to move<br />
towards zero waste.”<br />
Trotter said the proposed<br />
changes will provide greater<br />
flexibility. “Some of the<br />
proposed changes will legally<br />
enable us to adapt our services<br />
easier in the future.”<br />

Long queue as fuel price drops<br />
• By Nathan Morton<br />
A WIGRAM petrol station<br />
was swamped with fuel-thirsty<br />
drivers desperate to cash in on<br />
a considerably low price at its<br />
pump.<br />
Gull petrol, commonly known<br />
as a cheaper petrol alternative,<br />
advertised 91 petrol for $2.14 a<br />
litre on Friday.<br />
It’s a price that saw more<br />
than 50 cars at a time swarm<br />
the station over the morning,<br />
queuing up on the grass bank<br />
behind the station to save<br />
money.<br />
Tank fillers at the pumps<br />
said it was the lowest many had<br />
seen petrol cost in their city<br />
since a global price hike due to<br />
the ongoing war in Ukraine.<br />
“It’s incredible, it’s the<br />
lowest I’ve seen in a while –<br />
definitely more than a year,” one<br />
filler said.<br />
“I’d just partially filled up my<br />
tank yesterday, but I drove past<br />
and saw the price this morning<br />
and just had to get more.”<br />
Despite the clamouring of<br />
cars, wait times didn’t last for<br />
longer than 10 minutes for most.<br />
One local brought a portable<br />
petrol drum, spending a few<br />
hundred dollars as he filled it to<br />
the brim after giving his car a<br />
full tank of gas.<br />
“It’s usually quite busy at this<br />
station, but it’s just crazy here at<br />
the moment,” he said.<br />
“The price is probably the<br />
lowest I’ve seen in the last year<br />
at least.”<br />
The low price was a result of<br />
Gull running a 10c discount<br />
across their network.<br />
The queue was even worse at<br />
the Gull station the previous<br />
night – when the promotion<br />
kicked off.<br />
However, data from Gaspy<br />
CHEAP: Gull<br />
dropped the<br />
price of 91 to<br />
$2.14 a litre<br />
at its Wigram<br />
station.<br />
PHOTOS:<br />
NZME<br />
New Zealand – a petrol app<br />
comparing prices across the<br />
country – shows while the<br />
pricing was comparatively good,<br />
other Kiwis still had it better off.<br />
The app’s director Mike<br />
Newton said the Wigram station<br />
pricing “wasn’t exceptional in a<br />
nationwide context”.<br />
In March, the Government cut<br />
25 cents a litre from fuel taxes<br />
and halved the cost of public<br />
transport tickets in response to a<br />
spike in the cost of fuel.<br />
This subsidy was extended<br />
in the Government Budget for<br />
May, and extended again after<br />
that – it was due to expire at the<br />
end of this month.<br />

rubbish bylaw<br />
•From page 1<br />
The main changes in the new<br />
bylaw could include:<br />
•The ability for residents to<br />
opt out and not pay for kerbside<br />
collection services in certain<br />
circumstances.<br />
•More flexible rules for kerbside<br />
collection services.<br />
•New requirements for<br />
waste management plans in<br />
some circumstances so waste<br />
is managed more effectively,<br />
including for multi-unit residential<br />
developments, demolition and<br />
construction activities, and large<br />
scale events.<br />
•New rules to address the problems<br />
caused by unaddressed mail<br />
and advertising material and deal<br />
with nuisance from litter, including<br />
litter around donation boxes for<br />
clothing and household goods.<br />
•Allowing the city council to set<br />
standards for the collection points<br />
for recycling and diverted materials.<br />
•Revised provisions to support<br />
the diversion of materials<br />
from landfill and ensure all<br />
waste materials are disposed of<br />
appropriately.<br />
•Amendments to the licensing<br />
requirements for waste operators.<br />

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

“A local team for local people”
Thursday <strong>February</strong> 2 2<strong>02</strong>3 5<br />
Using less water encouraged during heatwave<br />
PEOPLE ARE being urged to<br />
reduce their water use with hot<br />
and dry conditions forecast for<br />
the coming weeks.<br />
Water demand in Christchurch<br />
is increasing, and at peak times<br />
there’s already pressure on the<br />
water supply network.<br />
Said city<br />
council head<br />
of three<br />
waters Helen<br />
Beaumont: “In<br />
previous<br />
Helen<br />
Beaumont<br />
years we’ve<br />
seen extreme<br />
pressure on the<br />
Christchurch<br />
water supplies when<br />
temperatures have increased,<br />
and we’re expecting that could<br />
happen again in the coming days<br />
and weeks.<br />
“To help ease the burden on<br />
our water supply network we’re<br />
asking residents to be extra<br />
mindful of their water use as<br />
temperatures increase.”<br />
She said irrigation systems and<br />
unsupervised sprinklers use a lot<br />
of water.<br />
“To reduce your outdoor water<br />
use we suggest watering for three<br />
to five minutes every second day<br />
with a hose or watering can.<br />
“This is enough to keep plants<br />
in good condition throughout<br />
the hottest months. Watering<br />
early in the morning or after<br />
9pm means the water is absorbed<br />
by the soil instead of evaporated<br />
by the heat.”<br />
HELPING HAND: Conserve water on hot days with these<br />
top tips, including watering the garden in the morning<br />
and doing fast washes.<br />
PHOTOS: GETTY<br />
Beaumont said if water<br />
restrictions are needed later in<br />
the summer, it won’t be because<br />
of the risk of running out of<br />
water; it’ll be to ease the pressure<br />
on the water supply network.<br />
“During hot weather demand<br />
increases dramatically and we<br />
struggle to get enough water<br />
through the pipes and into our<br />
reservoirs. If we can’t keep the<br />
reservoirs filled, water pressure<br />
drops across the network,” she<br />
said.<br />
“Having enough water in the<br />
reservoirs is also essential for<br />
fire-fighting, so pressure on the<br />
water supply network can put us<br />
at risk in emergency situations.<br />
“We’re doing our best to lead<br />
by example and have a leak<br />
detection programme underway<br />
to reduce the amount of wasted<br />
water leaking from council<br />
pipes.<br />
“We’re also working directly<br />
with commercial and residential<br />
customers with leaks to help get<br />
them sorted and avoid excess<br />
water use charges.”<br />
TOP TIPS<br />
Hold your hoses - Using a<br />
handheld hose to water your<br />
garden gives you more control<br />
and uses a lot less water.<br />
Morning time? Watering<br />
the garden is fine - Plants need<br />
less water when the sun’s not<br />
out and the wind’s died down.<br />
Shorten your shower - Keep<br />
your showers short and sweet.<br />
Use a timer or match the<br />
length of your shower with<br />
your favourite song.<br />
Slow the flow - Older showerheads<br />
often use a lot more<br />
water than needed. Replacing<br />
it with a modern, low flow<br />
showerhead is an easy cost saving<br />
exercise, and you won’t lose<br />
out on water pressure!<br />
Seek the leak - Dripping<br />
taps, showerheads, toilets and<br />
leaky pipes can waste a lot of<br />
water.Seek the leak and read<br />
your water meter.<br />
Be a one-load wonder -<br />
Washing a full load of laundry<br />
is the most water-efficient way<br />
to do your laundry.<br />
Contain the rain -Installing<br />
a rainwater tank is a simple<br />
process and provides another<br />
water source.<br />
It’s written in the starrating<br />
- When buying<br />
appliances, look for those with<br />
the most stars from WELS<br />
(Water Efficiency Labelling<br />
Scheme).<br />

Renowned American<br />
crevice garden designer<br />
Kenton Seth designed and<br />
built the new feature in<br />
the rock garden area of the<br />
Botanic Gardens in March<br />
2<strong>02</strong>0, and it is now almost<br />
complete. It is the only crevice<br />
garden in a public garden in<br />
New Zealand.<br />
Botanic Gardens<br />
maintenance officer Grant<br />
Matheson has been involved<br />
in selecting all of the plants for<br />
the crevice garden.<br />
Plants have come from<br />
in-house propogation and<br />
reputable nurseries, as well as<br />
gifted by collectors from the<br />
New Zealand Alpine Garden<br />
Society.<br />
“All of the plants we have<br />

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

ATHLETES FROM across<br />
New Zealand descended on<br />

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

Diversely delicious Buddha bowls<br />
To have a healthy body we<br />
need a diet of different<br />
foods. Hagar Ozri gets<br />
creative with Buddha<br />
bowls, an easy way to<br />
bring your ingredients<br />
together for a taste delight<br />
Job’s tears, shiitake and<br />
tofu Buddha bowl with<br />
tamari and ginger sauce<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup Job’s tears<br />
200g block of tofu (firm or soft,<br />
but not silky tofu)<br />
1 packet of sliced dried shiitake<br />
or 8 whole fresh — sliced, (2<br />
mushrooms per serve)<br />
1 broccoli, divided into florets<br />
3cm finger of fresh ginger<br />
Fresh coriander<br />
Tamari (wheat-free naturally<br />
brewed soy sauce)<br />
Sprouts (Mung bean, alfalfa,<br />
broccoli or pea sprouts)<br />
Chilli (optional)<br />
Directions<br />
To cook Job’s tears, place in a<br />
medium-sized pot, rinse in cold<br />
water then toast the grains in the<br />
pan, top up with water at least<br />
1cm above the grains and bring<br />
to the boil with the lid on.<br />
Once boiling, turn heat to<br />
med/low (check that it is not too<br />
low, so the grain is still cooking).<br />
Continue to cook on low for 40-<br />
ORGANIC: To prepare the Buddha bowls, cook and chop<br />
all the different components and ingredients in advance<br />
then put it all together. PHOTOS: GERARD O’BRIEN<br />
50 minutes until the grains are al<br />
dente.<br />
To prepare the tofu, take the<br />
tofu out of its packet, drain the<br />
water, wrap in a tea towel and set<br />
aside.<br />
Prepare the marinade by<br />
combining ⅓ cup of water, ⅓<br />
cup tamari soy sauce, 4 slices of<br />
fresh ginger and 1 clove garlic.<br />
Cut the tofu into cubes and<br />
shallow-fry in a hot pan. When<br />
crispy on all sides pop tofu into<br />
the marinade while still hot.<br />
Drain the shiitake, conserving<br />
the water, and place in the pan<br />
you used for the tofu. Add the<br />
soak-water a little at a time,<br />
keeping the mushrooms covered.<br />
Cook until tender and set aside.<br />
Prepare the sauce by using the<br />
marinade from the tofu, whisk it<br />
with a little sesame oil.<br />
Dry-roast sunflower seeds,<br />
pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds<br />
for toppings.<br />
Cut the broccoli into<br />
individual florets, steam, and set<br />
aside.<br />
Now assemble the Buddha<br />
bowl. First place the grain on<br />
the bottom of the bowl and pile<br />
it a little more in one half of the<br />
bowl so it is visible when all<br />
other ingredients are added.<br />
Place the broccoli next to<br />
the mound of grain, then place<br />
the tofu and shiitake. Top with<br />
sprouts and the seeds, drizzle<br />
with some sauce, saving some<br />
extra to top-up as you eat at the<br />
table.<br />
Broad bean and millet<br />
Buddha bowl with harissa<br />
tahini sauce<br />
Ingredients<br />
1 cup hulled millet<br />
⅔ cup broad beans – shelled<br />
and steamed<br />
⅔ cup steamed edamame<br />
⅛ cup olive oil<br />
1 tomato cubed, 1 avocado<br />
peeled and cubed, ½ red onion<br />
thinly sliced. Mix and season<br />
with olive oil, salt and pepper.<br />
2 Tbsp tahini<br />
1 Tbsp of lemon juice<br />
½ tsp salt<br />
1 tsp harissa<br />
Some fresh basil, chopped<br />
Directions<br />
Cook the millet: Place in a<br />
medium sized saucepan, cover<br />
with water (1cm over the grain)<br />
and bring to the boil. Turn the<br />
heat down and simmer with the<br />
lid tilted until water has been<br />
soaked up. Turn heat off, place<br />
the lid on and set aside for 10<br />
minutes.<br />
Mix the edamame and broad<br />
beans with a little olive oil and<br />
salt and pepper.<br />
To make the sauce, place<br />
tahini and lemon juice and<br />
salt in a small bowl, add ⅛ cup<br />
water and whisk to make a<br />
paste. Keep adding spoonfuls of<br />
water to create a smooth sauce<br />
consistency.<br />
Add the harissa and taste –<br />
add salt if needed.<br />
Assemble the bowl, starting<br />
with the millet. Add the beans<br />
on one side and the avocado and<br />
tomato salad on the other. Top<br />
with tahini sauce and sprinkle<br />
with fresh basil.<br />

Who can you trust with your hearing?<br />
Hearing loss can creep up on you very<br />
gradually, quite often over several years.<br />
The first signs of this are often a reduction<br />
in speech clarity, or difficulties conversing<br />
with people in social situations, such as a<br />
restaurant or family gathering. Other early<br />
signs are ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or a<br />
gradual increase in your TV volume level.<br />
These issues can be very frustrating, and<br />
are quite often first noticed by your family.<br />
Hear Again have extensive experience of<br />
helping to overcome hearing difficulties.<br />
From a simple check to see if your ears<br />
are blocked with wax, to the provision and<br />
highly personalized fine tuning of the very<br />
latest hearing devices; the professional,<br />
friendly team are here to help, even if you<br />
need to be seen on a weekend.<br />
We take the time to listen to you and do<br />
everything at your pace. There is a reason<br />
we have so many 5 star Google reviews.<br />
Come have a chat with us at The Hub,<br />
