the damaging effects of 

uncontrolled densification so 

are trying to do things better. 

Their focus has been in 

Sydenham and Spreydon, and 

there may be no better example 

of their vision than a somewhat 

controversial development 

on Selwyn St at the end of 

Coronation St, which locals 

have dubbed “Candy Corner.”

Burglar in 

distinctive 

van may 

have struck 

before 

• By Susan Sandys 

A BURGLAR who got into a 

tussle with a homeowner appears 

to have struck before, getting 

away with about $50,000 in goods 

from a property. 

The Star reported last week a 

man was pushed backwards over 

an armchair after he lunged at an 

intruder in his hallway earlier this 

month. The burglar was driving 

a distinctive white van with the 

registration KPD-407. 

Now another victim has contacted 

The Star to say he was a 

victim of a burglar driving the 

same vehicle with the same registration 

number. 

He believed the same man was 

among a group of two or three 

people who broke in and ransacked 

he and his wife’s Tai Tapu 

home while they were away on 

holiday on December 26. 

They stole a $30,000 Subaru and 

about $50,000 in jewellery, clothing, 

motorcycling and ski gear, 

spirits and wall art, as well as their 

passports and some credit cards. 

He said reading about the 

Burnham incident in The Star 

made him realise the man was 

still offending. 

“How many other people have 

been affected, and when does it 

stop?” the man said.

Police told him they had spoken to 

the registered owner of the van who 

said he could not remember where 

he was on the day of the burglary 

and someone else could have been 

using his van. 

Senior Sergeant Rachel Walker 

said police had conducted inquiries 

at the registered owner’s last known 

address which had “proved negative.” 

She urged the public to phone 105 

and quote file number 230310/3913 if 

they saw the vehicle. 

“A detailed description of the 

location and any occupants of the 

vehicle would be appreciated.” 

The victim feared someone else 

could get hurt. 

He saw one of the items left at 

the scene of the home burglary 

was an axe, brought in from the 

man’s woodshed, possibly with the 

intention of being used as a weapon 

if someone had been home. 

The Tai Tapu victim also urged 

residents to keep an eye out for the 

van, which could be used to case 

other properties in the area. 

“The indication I got from police, 

he’s done a number of these sorts of 

crimes.”

City2Surf: Danny did it! 

• By Heidi Slade 

DANNY ODOM took more 

big strides at the weekend as 

he recovers from a quadruple 

by-pass. 

The 61-year-old completed 

the Les Mills City2Surf 6km 

event from Avon Park to the 

Rawhiti Domain finish line in 

New Brighton. It was a major 

step in the right direction after a 

mild heart attack just over three 

months ago led to the potentially 

life saving operation. 

Odom was among several 

thousand people who walked 

and ran the 6km and 12km 

distances in perfect conditions 

on Sunday. 

He was supported on the 

walk by his wife Wendy, Breeze 

presenters Hilary and Fitzy and 

the show’s producer Ryan Foster. 

Odom has been a longtime 

Breeze listener. 

He completed the course in 

one hour, 29 minutes and 54 

seconds, just inside his goal of an 

hour and a half. 

He said it was “exhilarating” 

to be part of the Les Mills City- 

2Surf. 

“Being among thousands of 

positive people was amazing. I 

thoroughly recommend it,” he 

said. 

“If someone who has had their 

heart in someone else’s hands 

can do it, anyone can.” 

Odom paid tribute to staff at 

Christchurch Hospital. 

When he came from hospital 

he struggled to walk to his letterbox 

and back. 

But within a few weeks, he was 

walking five kilometres a day. 

It was on one of his daily 

walks he came across the City- 

2Surf poster. 

“Their expertise and knowledge 

allowed me to fulfil that 

goal,” he said of hospital staff. 

“The care was unbelievable, I 

can’t fault them.” 

Now he has his sights set on 

the 12km course next year.

Blackmail 

complaint 

by public 

figure after 

sexual 

encounter 

• By Sam Sherwood 

A CANTERBURY public figure 

has complained to police about 

allegations he was blackmailed 

by someone he had a sexual 

encounter with. 

The public figure declined to 

comment to the NZ Herald on 

Tuesday. He said he was aware 

the accused had raised concerns 

about him to the head of the 

organisation he is associated 

with, which he also declined 

to comment on. He confirmed 

he was still working at the 

organisation. 

A court spokesperson 

confirmed the defendant, who 

has name suppression, will 

appear in court again later this 

month. 

The accused, who first appeared 

in court in December last year, 

is charged with blackmail and 

pleaded not guilty.

Developers make a colourful splash 

•From page 1 

Holloway loves the name, even 

though it was probably coined as 

a joke. 

“I love the fact locals think the 

buildings are iconic enough to 

deserve a name,” he said. 

Holloway and Hickman 

designed the “Coro Street” 

style apartments themselves, 

but added colour and left an 

established tree in place on the 

footpath. 

Now this part of Selwyn St, 

once one of the most rundown 

areas in the city, is more 

interesting – even though local 

businesses are a little unsure of 

its long-term impact. 

The units were sold to a mix of 

owner-occupiers and investors 

for prices in the $500,000 to 

$575,000 range. 

Residents are speculating over 

who might move in. Manager 

of the Celtic Arms Inn Selena 

Holderness suspected they will 

be younger singles or couples. 

“Older folks won’t want them 

because they are two storeys, but 

at least whoever moves in won’t 

be low-lifes. I think it will be 

good for business,” she said. 

Selwyn Pharmacy owner 

Des Bailey also liked the 

development, even though the 

design is not something he 

would have chosen. 

It’s a big improvement on what 

was there, he said. “I’m just not 

sure who will move in. Living in 

such small units so close together 

could create social problems,” he 

said. 

Selwyn Superette manager 

Manpreet Kaur said she liked 

the colours, but was worried 

about parking. (All the units 

have garages or off-street 

parking.) 

The development comes as 

new medium and high-density 

building rules for Christchurch 

appear on the horizon. 

Said Hickman: “They will 

allow just about anything on 

any site and that’s really bad for 

Christchurch.” 

They concede there are 

examples of densification being 

done well by developers using 

good architects. 

Said Holloway: “It’s just 

that too many of these guys 

who are changing the face of 

Christchurch have spent most of 

their lives playing Playstation.” 

Brooksfield employs English 

architect Ben Pentreath to 

THEN AND NOW: The new development (left)

Hickman (left) and Vincent Holloway. 

do many of its designs. He is 

also responsible for a heritage 

precinct called Poundbury on 

the outskirts of Dorchester in 

England, a concept supported by 

King Charles. 

“Our houses cost more to 

design because we use Ben. 

But that is a relatively small 

proportion of the total cost,” said 

Holloway. 

“For the buildings themselves, 

we keep things simple; big 

rectangles well-proportioned 

with bigger tall windows, high 

PHOTO: GOOGLE MAPS 

studs and perfect detailing on 

the outside.” 

Holloway and Hickman also 

despair when they see so many 

trees on established sites being 

cut down. 

Trees should not only be a 

development requirement, but 

existing trees should also be 

saved wherever possible, said 

Hickman. 

“Not only are they good for 

the environment, they foster 

community pride and add 

value,” he said.

$1 mansion back on the market 

• By Nikki Preston 

A SPRAWLING 1920s mansion, 

built as a stately Englishman’s 

residence and once sold to a 

disabled children’s charity for 

$1, is on the market after a “noexpense 

spared” renovation. 

The owner’s plan to run it as 

a luxury accommodation for 

overseas business people fell over 

during the Covid-19 pandemic 

when people couldn’t travel. 

He’s now selling it after losing 

motivation and passion for the 

project. 

The Christchurch-based 

Chinese businessman bought 

the grand estate, known as 

Hackthorne Gardens, in 

Cashmere ‘as is where is’ in 

2015 after it sustained some 

damage in the February 22, 2011, 

earthquake. He poured between 

$2.5 million and $3 million 

into restoring the 11-bedroom, 

11-bathroom property to exactly 

how it would have been when it 

was built in 1928. 

The 928sq m home, designed 

by renowned architect William 

Tengrove Senior, has a 

sprawling staircase, study, large 

entertaining areas – including 

dedicated dining rooms – a 

modern backlit bar and a 

substantial commercial-grade 

kitchen. 

Its heritage-inspired décor 

LUXURY: The 11-bedroom mansion on Cashmere Hill has a price indication of about $5 million. 

includes neo-Gregorian leadedfanlights, 

wooden trims and four 

chandelier light fixtures hanging 

from the ceilings. 

Bayleys listing agent Jo Grams 

said finding a property of this 

size and location 

in fully renovated 

condition on a 

flat 4000 sq m 

section at the top 

of Cashmere Hill 

was unusual. 

“It is so rare to 

Jo Grams 

find a heritage 

home of such 

grandeur, maintained to the 

high standard of Hackthorne 

Gardens. It presents a truly 

inimitable opportunity for a new 

owner. It’s just the most beautiful 

spot when you get up there,” 

Grams said. 

“You just want to get up there 

and you don’t want to leave.” 

Viewing the 938sq m house 

takes about an hour-and-ahalf 

and potential buyers have 

considered using it as a family 

home, business retreat or 

luxury bed and breakfast with a 

restaurant. 

“It does have so many scopes 

and angles that you can make it 

into whatever you would like it 

to be.” 

The home also has a 

colourful history. It was built 

for prominent lawyer and 

philanthropist, Archibald 

Henry Anthony, who wanted a 

family home in the style of an 

Englishman’s stately residency. 

Anthony sold the house in 

1964 for $1 to disability service 

provider Hōhepa, which used it 

as a boarding school for disabled 

children based on Steiner 

principles. It reverted back to 

a permanent residence in 1987 

before changing ownership 

several times. It has been used 

for a variety purposes, including 

as a luxury bed and breakfast, 

exclusive retirement home 

and wedding venue until the 

earthquake struck. The property 

has a price indication of $5 

million-plus. Grams said the 

same offering in Fendalton or 

Merivale could fetch up to $8 

million. “The vendor is very, very 

motivated for a sale.” 

In October, a luxurious 

property on Fendalton Rd owned 

by the same family for 25 years 

sold for $4.325 million. The fourbedroom, 

two-bathroom home 

came with its own private island 

overlooking the picturesque 

Mona Vale Gardens.

Latest addition to hall of shame 

• By Ric Stevens 

ANOTHER harness racing 

figure has been banned from 

the sport, the latest in series of 

high-profile embarrassments for 

the code. 

Disgraced reinsman Matt Anderson 

was barred for more than 

five years for his part in “tubing” 

a horse and injecting it with 

vodka on New Zealand Cup Day 

at Addington in November. 

At the time of his offending, 

Anderson was already under 

an industry ban after receiving 

criminal convictions in 2020 

for assaulting and choking a 

woman. 

In a strongly worded decision 

last week, the Racing Integrity 

Board said Anderson was “presently 

not fit to be involved in the 

harness racing industry”. 

On the morning 

of Cup Day on 

November 8, investigators 

staked 

out the Fernside 

stables of trainer 

Philip Burrows. 

Philip 

Burrows 

They covertly 

filmed Burrows 

injecting a 

substance into 

the trotter Rakero Rebel while 

Anderson held its head. 

Anderson, 30, then applied a 

“twitch” device to restrain the 

horse while Burrows inserted a

a court hearing in 2018, has been barred for five years for

gastric tube into its nostril and 

oesophagus. 

Burrows later admitted that 

the substance he injected was 

vodka, and that he administered 

a combination of bicarbonate of 

soda, brown sugar, Epsom salts 

and water through the tube. 

Burrows has been disqualified 

from racing for 10 years for his 

actions. 

The ban follows other high 

profile disqualifications 

in Canterbury. 

Last year 

promising trainer 

Mitchell Kerr was 

banned for life by 

racing authorities, 

and sentenced 

Mitchell to seven months 

Kerr home detention 

by the courts for 

selling a non-existent horse and 

defrauding horse 

owners. 

In 2020, trainer/ 

driver Nigel 

McGrath was 

ousted for eight 

years for cheating. 

The Racing 

Integrity Board 

charged Anderson, 

along with Burrows, 

Nigel 

McGrath 

with administering a prohibited 

substance by hypodermic syringe 

and administering to Rakero 

Rebel a substance via a nasogastric 

tube on race day, which is against 

harness racing rules. 

He was also charged with 

assisting Burrows in race-day 

preparation of Rakero Rebel and 

another horse, Millwood 

Indie, in contravention of his 

ban by Harness Racing New 

Zealand. 

Anderson initially lied to 

investigators when confronted 

at another property about his 

actions that morning. 

When he was told he had 

been filmed, he said he wanted 

legal advice before answering 

any questions, but later pleaded 

guilty to all charges. 

The Racing Integrity Board, 

chaired by former High Court 

Justice Warwick Gendall, a 

King’s Counsel, called Anderson’s 

actions “deliberate and 

dishonest”. 

“It is aggravated by Mr Anderson’s 

defiance of the direction 

that he not be involved in the 

preparation of horses to race – 

that is, he should not have been 

anywhere near the tie-ups stable 

that morning,” the decision said. 

It said the film showed “surreptitious 

and furtive behaviour” 

which illustrated that Anderson 

knew precisely he was offending 

in a serious way. 

His defiance of his previous 

warning was “arrogant” and 

showed total disregard for the 

standards of the profession. 

“Mr Anderson did not cooperate, 

as did Mr Burrows. He 

first lied to the investigator,” the 

decision said. 

“When advised that a film 

existed he took refuge, as he had 

before, in silence. It was only 

after it was clear that any defence 

would have been futile that he 

had no option but to admit the 

charges.” 

The board banned Anderson 

from involvement in harness 

racing for five years and three 

months. 

Tackling the 

cost of living 

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has made it clear that our focus needs 

to be on the things that affect all New Zealanders – and my new 

role as a Minister ties in closely with cost of living issues that affect 

Christchurch residents. 

The Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs has the job of making sure that 

the key parts of the economy are working properly. This includes looking hard at 

supermarkets, banks, and insurers to make sure they are doing the right thing. 

Ultimately it is about making sure that ordinary folk get a fair deal when they fill up 

the trolley, or the tank, or get a mortgage. 

Right now, supermarkets are a major focus. We know that groceries are too 

expensive. Some of that is because there are only two supermarket chains in 

New Zealand. Creating an environment where there can be new, innovative and 

disruptive new players isn’t easy – but the Government is getting on with it. 

Last week we announced more support for the 1.4 million Kiwis getting 

Superannuation and Veterans’ pensions, Student Allowance, Student Loan or a 

main benefit to help with the cost of living. A couple on national superannuation will 

be better off by more than $100 a fortnight. Working families will see a bump 

in their Working for Families payments, and more people will be eligible for Childcare 

Assistance. Every little bit counts when making ends meet and we can’t leave those 

on the lowest incomes behind. It’s more evidence of the Government’s focus on 

helping Kiwis with the things that matter most right now. 

I’ve got several speaking engagements booked across Christchurch this year with 

organisations like Rotary and U3A. If you would like me to be a guest speaker and 

talk about my work as MP for Christchurch Central, get in touch.

Phase one done; 

project on track 

What a stink thing to do 

• By Susan Sandys 

LARRIKIN university students 

were captured on CCTV at a golf 

club as they ran naked across 

fairways and urinated in one of 

the green’s holes. 

One may have even defecated 

in a bunker. 

Video footage captured him 

emerging from the bunker with 

his pants down, pulling them up 

from behind as he walked across 

the fairway. 

Alcohol is suspected to have 

played a part in the students’ 

antics at Lincoln Golf Club. 

CCTV cameras on the course 

caught some of the group doing 

“stupid” things, including 

hitting a golf ball from a tee held 

between one of the men’s butt 

cheeks, said club president Steve 

Harrold. 

The incidents involving 12 

people happened on March 8 

between 5.30-7.30pm. 

“It’s not just etiquette to 

do that sort of stuff on a golf 

course, or anywhere really,” 

Harrold said. 

The club put stills of the 

footage in the windows of the 

clubhouse to try and identify 

the culprits. Members had since 

spoken to a Lincoln University 

student who said he knew 

them and they were fellow 

students. 

Harrold said the club was 

considering writing to the 

university, so it could warn 

students not to conduct 

themselves in such a manner at 

the golf course. 

PHASE ONE of the 

reinstatement of Christ Church 

Cathedral has been completed. 

The cathedral is stabilised 

and the project is on track to be 

completed in 2027. 

Said reinstatement project 

director Keith Paterson: “The 

project has moved quicker 

than expected. thanks to a collaborative 

approach between the 

project team. 

“We spent over a year planning 

and preparing for the work 

to commence and have been 

on-site in construction mode 

almost three years. We’re very 

focused and keen to complete 

this project for the city.” 

The project now moves into 

the second phase – strengthening 

and reinstatement of the 

main cathedral and tower. Phase 

three, the new cathedral centre 

and visitors centre, starts in 

2025. 

“The reinstated cathedral will 

look the same as it did prior to 

the earthquakes, but will have 

many modern enhancements 

and comforts such as 

heating, lighting and acoustic 

improvements,” said Paterson. 

“The reinstated cathedral has 

been designed to meet latest 

structural standards for a new 

public building. 

“Once completed the 

cathedral, tower, cathedral 

centre and visitors centre 

will seamlessly integrate with 

Cathedral Square.”

NEWS 


TRACTION: Singersongwriter 

Miranda Easten 

is making a name for 

herself overseas. Above 

– Easten’s debut album, 

Behind Unbroken Strings 

• Watch the video on 

starnews.co.nz 

Miranda’s making her mark on MTV 

• By Geoff Sloan 

SINGER songwriter Miranda 

Easten is starting to make waves 

in the music industry, gaining 

airplay on country music 

channels in Australia and the 

United States. 

The 35-year-old doesn’t like 

to be pigeon-holed into any one 

music genre, but admits leaning 

towards country music. 

Easten released her debut 

album Behind Unbroken Strings 

in 2021, with the single Cowboy 

Lullaby reaching number 16 

on Australia’s Top 40 Country 

Music Chart. Her recent music 

videos have also done well. 

“My music video View From 

Here has been really well received 

in the States. It’s on MTV and 

country TV and national TV and 

racking up quite a lot of views.” 

However, while she’s gaining 

traction overseas, her music’s not 

as widely known here in New 

Zealand. 

“The scene in America and 

Australia is just so much bigger 

and . . . you know, they’re so 

established with country and so 

it’s kind of no wonder the songs 

are taking over there a bit faster 

than the New Zealand.” 

But the road hasn’t been easy 

for Easten. The Selwyn-based 

artist recently opened up 

about her lifelong battle with 

agoraphobia. 

“I do have anxiety. I recently 

came out as letting everyone know 

I have agoraphobia and some of 

the things that people find really 

easy or don’t even think about, I 

find it a little bit more challenging 

and it’s something I’ve always 

been working on.” 

Agoraphobia is a fear of being 

in situations where escape might 

be difficult. Easten has learnt 

techniques to help limit her 

anxiety attacks, but says she feels 

different when she’s on stage. 

“There is an element of acting 

and performing. And, you know, 

when you’re acting, you’re not 

you. So it’s liberating. It’s freeing.” 

She is working on her second 

album and hopes to tour 

Australia and the United States 

later this year.

Icy challenge heats up 

IT MIGHT NOT be everyone’s 

cup of tea, but sitting in a bath of 

ice-cold water is Tim Bateman’s 

idea of a good time. 

The former 

Crusader is 

throwing his 

support behind 

New Zealand’s 

first “unofficial” 

ice-bath record 

Tim 

Bateman 

Josh 

Komen 

attempt, set to 

take place at 

Ranui House 

next Wednesday, 

March 29. Ultra 

running star Ruth 

Croft with also be 

there. 

Bateman’s 

close friend, twotime 

leukaemia 

survivor Josh 

Komen, will 

be taking on the challenge. 

He’s raising awareness and 

funds for Ranui House, a 

26-apartment complex that 

provides accommodation for 

patients and families undergoing 

life-saving medical treatment at 

Christchurch hospitals. 

“When Josh told me about his 

plans, I wanted to support him in 

any way I could. I have so much 

respect for him – he’s been to hell 

and back on his cancer journey, 

and yet he’s so positive and 

always has a smile on his face,” 

FROZEN: Josh Komen regularly hosts ice bath workshops 

at Tim Bateman’s O-Studio. 

Bateman said. 

The challenge involves sitting 

in a bath of ice-cold water – in 

Komen’s case for up to 20 minutes 

– using specialised breathing 

techniques. The temperature of 

the water will be about two to 

three degrees. 

About 40 participants will join 

Komen in the icy water as the 

challenge gets under way. 

Meanwhile, Bateman will play 

a key support role during the 

record-setting attempt. 

“I know a lot about ice-baths 

from my time in professional 

rugby. Over time I’ve learnt 

to enjoy them because they’ve 

taught me an important life skill 

– knowing how to push through 

something uncomfortable, but 

still coming out the other side 

and feeling really good about it.” 

Bone Marrow Cancer Trust 

chief executive Mandy Kennedy 

said funds raised will go towards 

rejuvenating ‘Little Ranui’, the 

original apartments built 30 years 

ago. In 2008, the house was extended 

to offer the 26 apartments 

there today. 

Ranui House supports patients 

and their families no matter 

their age or medical treatment 

type, providing accommodation, 

support and meals, as required. 

Patients can stay at Ranui House 

as long as they need.

Chance dolphins 

still about during 

SailGP race 

• By Tony Simons 

A DOLPHIN expert said hectors 

dolphins that delayed the SailGP 

racing were probably still on or 

near the racecourse when racing 

went ahead. 

SailGP organisers 

reported racing on 

Whakaraupō Lyttelton 

Harbour on Saturday 

was delayed by 40 

minutes after a dolphin 

was sighted on the 

racecourse – but there 

was more than one, 

a fact New Zealand 

team driver Peter Burling later 

acknowledged. 

“We were fortunate they 

decided to shift off and let us get 

three races in,” he said. 

Said dolphin expert Prof Liz 

Slooten: “How would you know 

they had moved off?” 

The SailGP race management 

plan stated if dolphins were 

sighted near the racecourse 

racing would be delayed or 

stopped entirely until they left of 

their own accord. 

Slooten questioned whether 

the dolphins had moved away 


or were simply no longer able to 

be seen. She said there was an 

extremely high chance they were 

still around. 

“I looked at the footage online 

and there were whitecaps on the 

water. There is maybe a 10 

per cent chance you could 

keep track of them in those 

conditions. It’s a case of 

now you see me, now you 

don’t,” she said. 

There would almost 

certainly have been a pod 

Liz Slooten present because they swim 

in groups of up to eight and 

where there are lots around, like 

around Banks Peninsula, the 

groups join together, Slooten said. 

Burling said it was “pretty 

special” to see the dolphins on 

the racecourse. 

“We’re really sailing on their 

home turf, so we’ve got to be 

patient at times,” he said. 

Sail GP organisers said the 

dolphin delay was a stroke of 

luck for the New Zealand team, 

which was working hard at the 

time to fix technical problems 

and “replace a few things” ahead 

of racing.

Tame 

Wallabies 

While visiting Waimate, you must visit the town’s famous 

Tame Wallaby Park Sanctuary. 

Gwen, the “Wallaby Lady” has dedicated 46 years to hand 

raising and caring for orphan baby wallabies through to 

adulthood, mostly brought to her by hunters. 

This requires much commitment as they need constant 

warmth and food. 

Gwen loves them all as much today as she did when she got 

her first one all those years ago. As visitors meander among 

tame wallabies at their own pace, hand feeding them special 

pellets, they are fascinated by the animal’s gentle nature, 

thus allowing you hassle-free time to feel at one with nature. 

The park is located off Highway 82 - 71 Bathgates Road

Autumn in the Waitaki 

is a magical time for a 

weekend getaway. 

The days are mild, yet 

still warm enough to 

enjoy a glass of bubbly 

outdoors and the honeyed 

landscapes are striking to 

behold. It’s a land of long 

winding roads, adventure, 

heritage, and small towns 

filled with local character. 

The best way to see the 

Waitaki at its most colorful 

is to jump on your bike 

and ride the Alps 2 Ocean 

Cycle Trail. Drawing you 

in with breath-taking 

landscapes, the Trail 

embodies what a cycling 

journey should be—an 

adventure suitable for 

everyone. 

You’re encouraged to take 

it at your own pace. Bike 

the Trail across 4-7 days 

or try out a day excursion. 

Either way, you’ll be back. 

Highlights include the 

Autumn foliage at Sailors 

Cutting, a popular boating 

spot and camping ground, 

the views across Benmore 

Peninsula, and a gauntlet 

of bronzed poplars hidden 

behind Kurow vineyard. 

Don’t forget to pack a 

picnic for Pumpkin Point. 

You’ll carve out some fond 

memories there. 

Panoramic views that 

once existed under an 

ancient sea now make up 

the Waitaki Whitestone 

Aspiring Global Geopark. 

Geosites include the 

Moeraki Boulders, 

Elephant Rocks, the 

sheltered valley of Anatini, 

the otherworldly Clay 

Cliffs, the Valley of the 

Whales, and many more. 

Upon arrival in Ōamaru, 

you must head to the 

Victorian Precinct, home 

to the best-preserved 

Victorian streetscape 

in all of New Zealand. 

While away an afternoon 

enjoying all there is to offer 

here, a mix of old and new, 

everything from local art, 

rare books, corsets, craft 

beer, and thriving café 

culture. 

Be sure to stay a night in 

Ōamaru, and enjoy one 

of the many fine dining 

experiences available 

then take in a wildlife 

experience like no 

other—view the little blue 

penguins coming home 

to rest after a hard day 

fishing at the Ōamaru Blue 

Penguin Colony.

The Forrester Gallery and 

Waitaki Museum welcomes you 

When you visit Ōamaru make sure you 

have time for the Forrester Gallery and 

the Waitaki Museum and Archive. 

The Forrester Gallery is housed in the 

former Bank of New South Wales. Come 

and say hello to this stunning whitestone 

building, one of the most striking in 

Ōamaru. And one of the few you can 

explore inside. Visit the Gallery and 

wander around the main floor to view 

the artwork while admiring the beautiful 

ornate plaster ceilings. Make sure you 

check out the original bank vault too. A 

journey upstairs via the original hanging 

staircase to see more art and take in the 

wonderful views along Thames Street 

and out to Ōamaru Harbour. 

Waitaki Museum is housed in the former 

Athenaeum building. The Museum’s new 

exhibitions tell local natural and cultural 

stories that are beautifully presented 

in state-of-the-art displays. The upper 

floor of the Museum has recently 

reopened with an exhibition dedicated 

to local 20th century history. A highlight 

for many visitors is Kā Puipuiaki O 

Korotuaheka. This exhibition showcases a 

significant collection of taoka (treasures), 

dating back to the earliest days of Māori 

settlement. The Waitaha Taoka | Stewart 

Willetts Family Collection includes 

thousands of stone tools, as well as 

adornment and items for fishing and 

hunting: all of them found at the mouth 

of the Waitaki River. 

If you have family history in the Waitaki 

this is the place to find out more about 

your ancestors. Just ask our friendly 

archive staff. 

Entry to both the Gallery and Museum is 

free.

Ferrymead Bays v Coastal 

Spirit, 7.15pm, Friday, 

Ferrymead Park 

Both Ferrymead Bays and 

Coastal Spirit have retained the 

bulk of their squads from last 

year. Robbie Stanton returns 

as head coach of Coastal Spirit 

for the first time since 2009. 

Stanton, who takes over from 

Jose Matiz, will want to improve 

on Coastal’s sixth-place finish 

last season, which included 

seven draws. Englishman Danny 

Boys will boost Ferrymead Bays’ 

playing stocks this season. The 

former Cashmere Technical 

player will join a strong 

Ferrymead squad coached by 

Alan Walker. They will also 

be looking to improve on their 

fifth-place finish last season. 

Last result: Ferrymead Bays 

2-1 

•Selwyn United v 

Nelson Suburbs, 11.30am, 

Saturday, Foster Park 

Selwyn United came close 

to being relegated to the men’s 

premiership competition last 

season after just two wins. 

Playing at Foster Park will be 

integral to the side’s confidence. 

Both of their wins were on home 

turf last season. Selwyn and 

Nelson last faced each other 

in their final match last year, 

when Selwyn narrowly lost 3-2. 

With the bulk of Selwyn’s squad 

retained this year, they will be 

looking for consistency, starting 

with a win at home this week. 

Last result: Nelson Suburbs 

3-2 

•Dunedin City Royals v 

Nomads United, noon, 

Saturday, Logan Park, 

Dunedin 

Nomads will travel to 

Dunedin with Matt Jansen 

leading the side for the first time. 

Jansen is the club’s director of 

football and was previously an 

assistant coach under former 

head coach Andy Pitman. 

Nomads have lost young 

goalkeeper Dublin Boon who 

moved to England. The Tulett 

Park-based side will be looking 

to kick their campaign off with 

their first win over the Dunedin 

side in the Southern Football 

League. Nomads managed to 

get one win and two draws away 

from home last year and, with 

a large number of their 2022 

squad returning, it should be a 

tight match in Dunedin. 

Last result: Dunedin City 

Royals 4-2 

•Christchurch United 

v Green Island, 1.30pm, 

Saturday, United Sports 

Centre 


What does the season 

hold for Canty clubs? 

The return of the Southern Football League this weekend will see the South Island’s top 10 teams fighting for 

one of two coveted places in the National League. Jaime Cunningham looks at how the Canterbury sides will fare 

in the first round 

Title-holders Christchurch 

United are favourites to go backto-back 

this season. The squad 

will want to redeem themselves 

after finishing ninth in the 

National League, despite losing 

just one game in the Southern 

Football League. However, the 

team will be without winger 

Eddie Wilkinson who has 

moved to the Eastern Lions in 

Melbourne to play in the third 

tier of Australian football. 

Wilkinson was a standout 

player last year, netting 19 

goals in the Southern Football 

League and three in the national 

competition. Dunedin club 

Green Island will be looking for 

their first win away from home 

in the competition. But to get it 

against Christchurch United on 

their Yaldhurst Rd turf will be a 

tough ask. 

Last result: Christchurch 

United 9-1 

•FC Twenty 11 v 

Cashmere Technical, 

2.45pm, Saturday, 

Avonhead Park 

Newly-promoted FC Twenty 

11 face a challenging start to 

the season against Cashmere 

Technical who finished sixth in 

the National League last year. 

It will be FC Twenty 11’s first 

season in the Southern Football 

League. Although Cashmere 

Technical have retained a 

majority of last year’s squad, 

Kian Donkers has left the side 

for the Netherlands. Both teams 

will be led by new head coaches 

this year. Harry Trethwan 

will be in charge of Cashmere 

Technical, while FC Twenty 11 

have Tseto Cvetan at the helm as 

head coach. 

Last result: These two 

teams have never played each 

other in the Southern Football 

League.

Tigers fail 

to field 

premier 

team 

ONE OF club rugby league’s 

former powerhouses will be 

missing when the Canterbury 

premiership starts this weekend. 

Papanui Tigers won’t be fielding 

a team after struggling for player 

numbers last year, which led to 

huge defeats. Celebration has also 

dropped out of a new-look sixteam 

premiership which starts on 

Saturday. 

Canterbury Rugby League chief 

executive Malcolm Humm said it 

would be a rebuilding season for 

Papanui, which will field a side 

in the premier 

reserve grade. 

He said new 

players have 

come on board 

at the Tigers, but 

competing against 

premier grade 

sides was too big 

an ask this season. 

Humm was 

confident the club 

has a future, with new administrators 

and a focus on building its 

youth grades. Papanui will field 

teams in the 14, 16 and 18 age 

group competitions. 

“They are starting to build up 

their youth grades. They are driving 

that hard,” he said. 

The reformatted premiership 

will see a promotion/relegation 

component introduced this season, 

opening the door for Papanui to 

get back to the top grade next year, 

said Humm. 

Concerns over the depth of 

teams across senior grades had 

prompted a major review.

GOOD NEWS and then bad 

news for the next All Blacks 

coach Scott Robertson. 

After being announced as the 

All Blacks coach from 2024 at 

a press conference on Tuesday, 

Robertson fronted media yesterday 

in his Crusaders 

kit to announce 

more injury woes 

for the side. 

Sevu Reece and 

Sam Whitelock 

are both facing a 

lengthy time off the 

field. 

Robertson confirmed Reece has 

been dealt a “serious” knee injury, 

while Whitelock is out with a 

broken hand. The defending Super 

Rugby Pacific champions are 

already missing All Blacks David 

Havili, Jack Goodhue, Will Jordan 

and Cullen Grace through injury, 

while Fletcher Newell, Mitchell 

Dunshea and George Bell have 

been ruled out for the season. 

Reece (right) is awaiting results 

on his knee, while Whitelock will 

see a specialist to determine how 

long he will be out of the game. 

Robertson said it has been a 

whirlwind week going from a job 

interview with the New Zealand 

Rugby board on Tuesday to preparing 

the Crusaders to face the

Tennis final rematch 

a brotherly affair 

• By Diane Keenan 

ELMWOOD WILL play 

Cashmere in the final of premier 

men’s tennis interclub on Saturday 

in a repeat of last year’s final. 

No clear favourite stands out 

with both teams equally capable of 

winning the season-decider, which 

will be played at the Elmwood 

courts at 1pm. 

It will be a family affair for both 

teams. Cashmere have the three 

Meredith brothers, Matt, Tim and 

James, while defending champions 

Elmwood have the Darling 

brothers, Elliot and Lawrence, and 

the Batt brothers, Tom and Eddie. 

Both teams enjoyed convincing 

wins in the semi-finals. Elmwood 

did not drop a game in their clash 

with Bishopdale, while Cashmere 

only lost one doubles rubber 

against Burnside Park with Liam 

Barrett and Harry Weeds going 

down in a tight three-set match 

to Burnside Park’s Jamie Poole 

and Rene Dumont. As expected, 

the match of the semi-final was 

the singles between top players 

James Meredith and Remi Feneon. 

Meredith won 6-2 6-4 and is likely 

to play in the top slot for the final, 

supported by his brothers, Weeds, 

Barrett and Lucas Evans. 

Said Cashmere team captain 

Tim Meredith: “This season we’ve 

included Liam and Lucas in the 

team, who are both at Christ’s 

College and coached by Matt. They 

have bought into our environment 

and play a really high 

standard of tennis. 

Having them in 

the team has taken 

the pressure off our 

older players. “This 

final is special for 

us. It is Cashmere’s 

centenary and that 

Tim 

Meredith 

is an extra incentive for us to win. 

Everyone is quite motivated.” 

Elmwood is expected to field 

the same players as the semi-final. 

The Batt and Darling brothers 

will play the singles and possibly 

Mid-Canterbury coach Jack Tiller, 

bringing in James Spence in the 

doubles. 

Elmwood general manager 

Ashley Forbes has fond memories 

of last year’s final when a crowd of 

100 lined the courts at Elmwood. 

“It was a great day of tennis. All 

the matches were keenly fought as 

I predict they will be this Saturday. 

We think the crowd could be even 

bigger on Saturday. They are all 

fierce competitors on-court, but 

great mates off court,” he said. 

Members of both teams played 

with or against each other 

through the junior ranks and into 

secondary school. The Meredith 

brothers are Christchurch Boys’ 

High old boys and the Darlings 

and Batts went to St Andrew’s 

College.

BURNSIDE WEST will be 

looking to end their season as 

two-day club cricket champions 

on Saturday. 

Going into the final day, the 

side are looking to make up for 

their disappointing loss to Old 

Boys’ Collegians in the men’s 

one-day final last month by 

beating Lancaster Park at home 

to claim the two-day title. 

Burnside West lead by 71 on 

67/4 in their second innings 

with Scott Janett and Jackson 

Latham at the crease. They 

were bowled out for 99 runs in 

their first innings on Saturday. 

Lancaster Park also struggled 

with the bat and were bowled 

out for 95. 

Burnside West captain Matt 

Hay was caught on 13 in the 

second innings, so young guns 

Nick Gibb and Tim Seeto are set 

to get an opportunity to make 

some runs for Burnside West 

this weekend. 

Although Burnside West have 

a 10-point lead in the two-day 

points table, St Albans have a 

chance to win the competition 

if they can beat Heathcote 

outright and Burnside West

lose or draw on Saturday. In the 

women’s competition, one-day 

competition champions Lancaster 

Park and OBC forfeited their 

last match of the season due to 

players travelling with the Canterbury 

A side. Lancaster Park 

won their seventh 50-over title 

in eight years over the weekend. 

They also currently sit at the top 

of the Four20 Fizz table alongside 

Sydenham who they played 

in the 50-over final. 

Due to the forfeit, Sydenham 

will be looking for a second 

format win on Saturday 

when they play North West. 

Sydenham won the women’s 

T20 final last month, while 

North West have won under 

half of their matches in all three 

formats this season.

What to ask a real estate agent 

Selling a home is a big life decision, both 

financially and emotionally. The journey 

can be a roller coaster, which is why 

finding a licensed real estate agent you feel 

comfortable with is so important. 

“Remember, you’re looking for the 

person who you’re going to trust to sell 

what’s likely to be your biggest asset. Their 

success (or failure) will have a marked 

impact on your new life plan,” says the Real 

Estate Authority (REA). 

New Zealand has about 15,000 real estate 

agents who help people navigate big-deal 

transactions every day. 

“The trick is to find the one that will be 

best for your situation,” he says.

Resource Management Act 1991 

Christchurch District Plan 

Proposed Plan Change 14 – Housing and Business Choice and Proposed Plan Change 13 – Heritage 

Christchurch City Council has prepared proposed changes to our District Plan that affect the development allowed in the city, and that affect sites and areas proposed to be protected for their 

heritage values. These are Plan Change 14 (PC14 Housing and Business Choice) and Plan Change 13 (PC13 Heritage). 

The Resource Management (Enabling Housing Supply and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 (Amendment Act) requires the Council to include Medium Density Residential Standards (MDRS) 

and to give effect to the National Policy Statement on Urban Development 2020 (NPS-UD) in its District Plan. This will enable the development of up to three houses of up to 12m high in most 

residential areas of urban Christchurch without the need to apply for a resource consent, and enables higher density development in and within walking distance of commercial areas, unless a 

“qualifying matter” necessitates lesser development. The Qualifying Matter relating to sunlight access applies to all residential zones subject to the plan change and therefore the rules in the 

District Plan permitting MDRS development will take effect upon decisions being made by the Council on the recommendations of the Independent Hearings Panel. Under the Resource 

Management Act 1991 (RMA), all heritage-related provisions proposed will have immediate legal effect upon notification. 

Changes we are proposing to the Christchurch District Plan 

The changes to the District Plan proposed in PC14 and PC13 are extensive. Read the 

Plan Change for full details. The changes include but are not limited to: 

i. Changes to height limits in and within walking distance of the central city, with the 

greatest height proposed to be enabled in the City Centre (90 metres) and Central 

City Mixed Use zones (32 metres). (PC14) 

ii. Increases in building heights enabled in most suburban commercial centres, ranging 

from 12 metres in the smallest neighbourhood and local centres to 22 metres in the 

Larger Town Centre zones. Precincts around these centres will also enable increased 

building heights for housing (14-32 metres).(PC14) 

iii. Changes and additions to rules within commercial zones to ensure that they 

achieve high quality urban environments and to permit small buildings that meet 

certain criteria to be established without the need for resource consent in some 

zones. (PC14) 

iv. Applying MDRS, and in some situations more lenient provisions than the MDRS, 

across all urban residential areas, including (but not limited to) some Residential Port 

Hills areas, through new medium and high density residential zones. (PC14) 

v. Changes to the zoning and associated policies and rules for some industrial areas 

located within walking distance of the central city and the introduction of a 

brownfield overlay for some industrial areas within walking distance of large 

commercial centres. This is to enable redevelopment for housing and mixed-use 

activities if certain criteria are met, most notably within the Sydenham area and 

surrounds. (PC14) 

vi. Introducing Qualifying Matter areas where the scale and density of buildings enabled 

by the MDRS and NPS-UD is reduced. These include matters of national importance 

(RMA s6), being: Outstanding and Significant Natural Features and Landscapes; Sites 

of Ecological Significance; Sites of Wāhi Tapu; Wāhi Taonga, Silent Files, Ngā Tūranga 

Tūpuna; Ngā Wai; Areas at risk of rockfall, cliff collapse and mass movement (Slope 

Instability Areas); High Flood Hazard Management Areas; Flood Ponding Management 

Areas; Historic Heritage items and settings; Heritage Areas and interface sites; and 

Waterbody Setbacks. Other Qualifying Matters we are proposing include: Public Open 

Space areas (various Open Space Zones and Specific Purpose (Cemetery) Zone); 

Designated areas; Residential Character Areas; Electricity Transmission corridors and 

structures; Airport Noise Influence Area; Heritage, Significant and Other Trees; 

Lyttelton Port Influences Overlay and Lyttelton Master Plan Overlay; NZ Rail Network 

Overlay; Coastal Hazard Management Areas; Radio Communication Pathways for the 

Justice and Emergency Services Precinct; Waste water constraint areas overlay; 

reduced height limits in the central city including Cathedral Square surrounds (Sites 

of historic heritage items and their settings (City Centre Zone)); Victoria Street 

Building Height; New Regent Street and surrounds (Central City Heritage Qualifying 

Matter and Precinct), and Arts Centre and surrounds; Belfast Commercial Centre and 

Styx River Setback; Sunlight Access; Public Transport Access (Low Public Transport 

Accessibility Area); Industrial Interface; Riccarton Bush Interface Area and Riccarton 

Bush Significant Trees Area; Tsunami Management Area; Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor, 

Fitzgerald Avenue Geotechnical Constraint (Land subject to Private Plan Change 11); 

Outline Development Plan Features; and Key transport corridors (City Spine Transport 

Corridor). (PC14) 

vii. Changes to objectives, policies and other provisions throughout the District Plan that 

support or are consequential on the above changes. (PC14) 

viii. Protecting heritage areas across the city to recognise Ōtautahi Christchurch’s special 

identity. We are introducing 11 Residential Heritage Areas, and adding 44 buildings and 

items, and 26 building interiors to the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage. (PC13) 

ix. Simplifying and clarifying heritage provisions and strengthening some rules by 

changing the activity status for resource consent. Minor wording changes are also 

proposed to five of the heritage policies. (PC13) 

Criteria to make a submission 

The following persons may make a submission on the proposal: 

• the local authority, Christchurch City Council, may make a submission; and 

• any other person may make a submission but, if the person could gain an advantage in 

trade competition through the submission, then the person may do so only if the person is 

directly affected by an effect of the proposal that: 

▷ adversely affects the environment; and 

▷ does not relate to trade competition or the effects of trade competition. 

Have your say 

You may make a submission: 

• online at ccc.govt.nz/haveyoursay 

• by sending a written submission to Christchurch City Council at Freepost 178 (no stamp 

required), Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (PC14) or Heritage Plan Change (PC13), 

Christchurch City Council, PO Box 73016, Christchurch. Contact Christchurch City Council on 

941 6886 or email us at engagement@ccc.govt.nz if you require a hard copy form. 

• The submission must use the form available on our webpage or in hard-copy at the 

Council (Form 5), and must state whether or not you wish to be heard on your submission. 

Copies of this form are available from the Christchurch City Council. 

Submissions close at 11.59pm on Wednesday 3rd May 2023. 

If you are having trouble making a submission we have a Friend of Submitters service 

available to help. Please email CHCHPC13-14@jwest.co.nz 

Timeline 

The Council is required to use an Intensification Streamlined Planning Process for PC14 to 

introduce the MDRS and amend the objectives, policies and rules within the District Plan. 

The process is largely the same for PC13, with differences outlined below. 

The process for public participation in the consideration of the proposals under the RMA is 

as follows: 

• after the closing date for submissions, Christchurch City Council must prepare a summary 

of decisions requested by submitters and give public notice of the availability of this 

summary and where the summary and submissions can be inspected; and 

• there must be an opportunity for the following persons to make a further submission in 

support of, or in opposition to, the submissions already made: 

▷ any person representing a relevant aspect of the public interest; 

▷ any person who has an interest in the proposal greater than the general public has; and 

▷ the local authority itself. 

• an independent hearings panel will conduct hearings. The Council can choose to conduct 

optional pre-hearing mediation. 

• the Hearings Panel provides the Council with recommendations. 

• the Council makes its decision on the Hearings Panel’s recommendations for the plan changes. 

For Plan Change 14 

• If the Council rejects any of the Hearings Panel’s recommendations, the Minister for the 

Environment will decide on the rejected provision or the Council’s alternative recommendation. 

• There is no opportunity to appeal any decisions. There remains a right of Judicial Review 

to the High Court. 

For Plan Change 13 

• Heritage provisions have immediate legal effect, although they are not final until after 

submissions are heard and the Council makes its decision. 

• The Council’s decision on the Hearings Panel’s recommendations can be appealed to the 

Environment Court. 

• The Minister has no role in deciding on Hearings Panel recommendations rejected by 

the Council. 

More information 

The proposed plan changes, and assessments required under section 32 of the RMA, together 

with any supporting documents, may be inspected at ccc.govt.nz/pc14 and ccc.govt.nz/pc13, 

at the Civic Offices on Hereford Street or at any of the Council’s libraries and service centres. 

If you have any questions about the plan changes, please contact the Council on 941 6886 or 

email us at engagement@ccc.govt.nz
