YOUNG DAD’S CANCER BATTLE 

‘I can’t give up, I just want 

to see my kids grow up’ 

• By Daniel Alvey 

TIME IS fast running out for 

Dan Morbey as the 36-year-old 

battles stage four bowel cancer. 

The father of two young 

children was recently given 

a prognosis of three-tosix 

months to live by his 

specialists. He and his family 

are hoping a Givealittle page 

will help raise critical funds for 

treatment options. 

The family – Morbey and 

partner Sarah Noble along 

with Dylan, 4, and Alyssa, 2 – 

found out Morbey had cancer 

in September last year, but it 

wasn’t until December they 

received the full diagnosis. 

“Total shock” was the 

family’s reaction when they 

learned Morbey had been 

diagnosed with Metastatic 

Cecal Adenocarcinoma with 

Peritoneal Disease, stage four 

bowel cancer. 

“I think we were in shock for 

three or four weeks,” Noble said. 

At the time of the diagnosis, 

his specialist told Morbey 

his cancer was incurable, 

with no option for surgery, 

chemotherapy or radiation 

because of how far the cancer 

had spread.

Brummie Dan’s fight to beat cancer 

• From page 1 

However, using the funds 

raised, the family is trying to get 

as much equipment as they can 

to help Morbey’s treatment. 

“Overseas they have cancer 

treatment centres, and we are 

trying to create one in our home, 

so we are buying things like 

infrared sauna blankets, red 

light therapy and ozone therapy,” 

Morbey said. 

The equipment needed can 

cost thousands of dollars. For 

example, for an infrared sauna 

blanket, which can relieve stress, 

help with joint pain, lower 

blood pressure and improve 

circulation, prices can range 

anywhere from a few hundred to 

thousands of dollars. 

“We have to make radical 

changes and can’t just hope,” 

Noble said. 

So far, they have used about 

$20,000 of the $24,000 raised to 

cover extra tests and treatments 

that are not funded and to pay 

for a trip for them to return to 

the UK for Morbey to see his 

family in May. 

Morbey was just about to get 

his food truck business off the 

ground, which he had been 

struggling with for three years 

with ongoing Covid restrictions. 

He had also set up a food truck 

market in Rolleston, which 

was tracking well. Both were 

expected to take off in summer, 

but never had the opportunity.

“My career as a food truck 

vendor never really got a 

chance,” he said. 

Morbey, originally from 

Birmingham in the United 

Kingdom, met Noble when she 

was on her OE and decided to 

follow her back to New Zealand 

in 2017, moving around the 

country and eventually settling 

in Rolleston as renters at the end 

of 2021. 

Noble has also had to give up 

her job to become a full-time 

carer for Morbey as his condition 

worsens, and to look after the 

kids. 

“Up until six weeks ago I 

was able to help out around the 

house and do the cleaning and 

groceries, but now I’m just too 

tired,” Morbey said. 

“It can be mentally challenging 

for me not to be able to play with 

my kids. 

“I also have to watch out when 

they get sick to make sure they 

don’t pass it on, a cold he (Dylan) 

brought home put me on my arse 

for two weeks.” 

While the family is receiving 

some support, they feel that the 

system has failed with them 

having to battle for extra 

care. 

“When I injured my back, I got 

more support from ACC than I 

do now I have stage four cancer,” 

Morbey said. 

“I think it should be easier 

for people in my position that

once you’re diagnosed it starts a 

process of support.” 

Said Noble: “It just adds 

stress.” 

The couple said they are 

incredibly grateful for all 

the support from the local 

community, such as dropping off 

meals or mowing lawns for free. 

“Every little bit helps make a 

difference,” Noble said.

We’re planning for our 

growing city

Christchurch’s housing and business development rules are changing 

Ōtautahi Christchurch’s population is growing. Over the next 30 years, it’s predicted we’ll need more than 40,000 

new houses to ensure everyone has a place to live, and Christchurch City Council is planning for that now. 

Our growth challenge 

We need to provide for the growth of housing and 

business in the best locations in Christchurch, to 

help address issues like climate change and housing 

shortage. This means more houses where there’s good 

access to shops, services, work, school, public transport 

networks and infrastructure. 

Where there’s good reason, we also need to ensure 

development remains restricted or limited to protect 

and maintain areas of value. 

These changes won’t happen overnight. Over time the 

look and feel of the city will change, and we want to plan 

for that and keep what people value. 

A new direction in urban planning 

The planning rules have changed for New Zealand’s main urban areas. We need to 

follow the new national direction to allow greater housing and business development 

within Christchurch’s existing urban footprint. 

There are new national standards for multi-unit housing developments called the 

Medium-Density Residential Standards (MDRS). These aim to make it easier for denser 

housing developments to happen. Once they come into effect, up to three dwellings 

of up to three storeys can be developed on a property in Christchurch without needing 

to apply for a resource consent, as long as all other rules have been met. 

Not all parts of Christchurch are suitable for the MDRS, so we’re proposing special 

rules, called Qualifying Matters, apply to recognise heritage and cultural features, to 

protect major utility, infrastructure, and people in areas vulnerable to natural hazards, 

among other things. 

What we’re proposing 

We’re proposing important changes to the city’s planning rulebook, the District Plan, via two plan changes – the Housing and Business Choice 

Plan Change (Plan Change 14), and the Heritage Plan Change (Plan Change 13). Both plan changes were formally notified on 17 March 2023. 

Replacing some existing residential zones in 

the city with two new ones – a Medium-Density 

Residential Zone and a High-Density Residential 

Zone. The Medium-Density zone is the baseline for 

increasing housing in our city. The High-Density 

zone would allow apartment buildings and multistorey 

flats in the central city. 

Increased height limits for residential and 

commercial buildings in and around the 

central city, suburban centres and along public 

transport routes, as well as enabling residential 

development in some industrial areas around the 

central city and larger suburban centres. 

Special rules (Qualifying Matters) to limit greater 

development of housing and business under 

the MDRS, in order to better reflect our city’s 

environment and climate. One proposes changing 

recession planes to increase sunlight access from 

what would be possible under the MDRS. This 

applies citywide and means the MDRS won’t come 

into effect for Christchurch until 2024, when Plan 

Change 14 is decided on. 

Heritage that should be protected, with a number 

of new buildings, items and interiors added to 

the Schedule of Significant Historic Heritage. 

Have your say on our growing city 

You can make a submission on the Housing and Business Choice Plan Change (Plan Change 14) and Heritage Plan 

Change (Plan Change 13) until 3 May 2023. Detailed information about the plan changes and everything you 

need to make your submission is available at ccc.govt.nz/growingcity


Les Mills City2Surf

CGHS No 1 seed 

for volleyball 

national champs 

• By Jaime Cunningham 

CHRISTCHURCH Girls’ High’s 

senior volleyball side will go into 

the secondary schools nationals 

as the top seed for Canterbury 

after claiming two titles this 

month. 

CGHS beat St Margaret’s 

College to win the Canterbury 

championships for the first time 

since 2012 on Sunday, just two 

weeks after the side took out the 

The Mainland shield. The school 

had never won both titles in the 

same season. 

CGHS came back after trailing 

St Margaret’s 2-1 on Sunday to 

win the final 3-2 (25-20, 21-25, 

17-25, 25-20, 15-13). 

CGHS’s B team finished eighth 

in the division 1 grade, while 

the school’s C side were third in 

division 2. 

Senior A coach Mark Norton 

said the results from the 

weekend are due to the growth of 

volleyball at CGHS. 

With about 13,000 high school 

girls playing the sport in New 

Zealand, he said having three 

CGHS teams in Canterbury’s top 

13 is a significant achievement. 

“We have some momentum 

growing in our volleyball 

programme, lots of kids are 

playing and we are starting to 

produce some good results.” 

CGHS A are Canterbury’s 

top seed after their win at the 

weekend and strong results in the 

weekly high school competition. 

They will also be seeded third 

overall in the competition due to 

Burnside’s recent success at the 

competition in recent years. 

But with 88 girls’ teams 

expected to compete at nationals, 

Norton said it will be difficult to 

finish in the top 16. 

St Andrew’s College will go 

to the national tournament as 

Canterbury’s second seed in 

the girls’ competition, while St 

Margaret’s are third and Burnside 

High fourth. 

Riccarton High are the top seed 

for Canterbury in the boys’ grade, 

following their win over Burnside 

to take out the Canterbury 

championship title on Sunday. 

Burnside is the second ranked 

boys’ team for the region, with 

Shirley Boys’ High in third and 

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori O Te 

Whānau Tahi fourth. 

•The New Zealand 

secondary schools national 

volleyball championships 

start Monday in Palmerston 

North. 

TOP SEED: CGHS senior A captain Angela Reupena holds up The Mainland shield which they won earlier this month. Below – The team then won the 

Canterbury championships for the first time since 2012.

Mix it up with tasty vegetarian dinners 

Nutritional therapist 

Amelia Freer’s new 

book The Organised 

Cook not only has 

recipes but also plenty 

of advice and practical 

tips to turn people 

from frazzled and 

frustrated into calm 

and organised in the 

kitchen 

One-pot green dahl 

This is a one-pot wonder that 

we often make for Sunday night 

dinner at our house. Nourishing 

and wholesome, it really sets 

us up for the week ahead. I’ve 

added extra greens here with 

some Swiss chard, but you could 

easily swap this for spinach, 

beet leaves or even a couple of 

handfuls of peas, if that’s what 

you have to hand. Gluten free, 

dairy free, vegan/vegetarian. 

Serves 4 

Ingredients 

1 shallot or ½ medium white 

onion, sliced 

1 Tbsp coconut oil or mild olive 

oil 

1 large piece of fresh root ginger 

(about 3cm), peeled and grated 

2 cloves garlic, grated 

1 green chilli, deseeded and 

chopped 

1 tsp mustard seeds 

1 tsp ground coriander 

1 tsp ground cumin 

1 tsp ground turmeric 

300g dried black/brown lentils 

1 × 400ml tin of coconut milk 

200g Swiss chard, washed and 

roughly chopped 

Natural or dairy-free yoghurt, 

to serve (optional) 

Fresh coriander, chopped 

Directions 

In a shallow saucepan, fry the 

shallot or onion in the coconut 

or olive oil over a medium heat 

for 5 minutes, until it starts to 

soften and caramelise, stirring 

occasionally. 

Add the ginger, garlic and 

chilli and all of the spices, and 

fry for another 5 minutes, stirring 

often. 

Mix in the lentils, coconut 

milk and 650ml water. 

Bring to the boil, reduce the 

heat and simmer for about 40–50 

minutes, stirring occasionally, 

until the lentils are soft and the 

water absorbed. Add the Swiss 

chard and cook for 5 minutes, 

until wilted. 

Season to taste with salt 

and pepper. Serve warm with 

a little yoghurt (or dairy-free 

alternative) swirled through, 

if you fancy, and coriander 

sprinkled on top. 

Best black bean burger 

This is definitely the best bean 

burger I have made and I’ve 

made a lot. The recipe was 

inspired by a wonderful bean 

burger on Sally’s Baking 

Addiction blog, but I’ve reduced 

the number of ingredients. 

Vegetarian, gluten free. 

Makes 4 

Ingredients 

2 × 400g tins of black beans, 

drained and rinsed 

1 Tbsp olive oil, plus extra for 

drizzling 

½ red pepper, deseeded and 


1 shallot or small onion, 


220g mushrooms, roughly 

chopped 

2 cloves garlic, crushed 

1½ tsp ground cumin 

½ tsp sweet smoked paprika 

½ tsp dried mixed herbs 

65g breadcrumbs (use glutenfree, 

if necessary) 

80g feta, crumbled 

1 large free-range egg 

1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 150degC 

fan/170degC. 

Spread the drained beans on 

a baking tray and bake for 15 

minutes until slightly dried out. 

(This is important.) Add the oil 

to a medium-large saucepan 

over a medium-high heat. Add 

the pepper, shallot or onion, 

mushrooms, garlic, cumin, 

paprika and mixed herbs and 

saute for around 8 minutes until 

soft. Remove from the heat and 

set aside to cool a little. 

Place the sauteed vegetables 

and all the remaining 

ingredients, including a good 

pinch of salt and grind of pepper, 

in a large food processor and 

pulse until combined, leaving 

some larger chunks. 

Using wet hands (as it helps 

prevent the mixture sticking), 

shape the mixture into 6 patties 

(each roughly 8–10cm). Line 

a baking tray with parchment 

paper and place the patties on 

top. Put the tray in the fridge 

for a couple of hours, to help the 

patties stick together. 

Preheat the grill to a medium 

heat or the oven to 190degC fan 

210degC. 

If grilling, drizzle a little 

olive oil over the patties and 

place them under the grill for 8 

minutes. Turn them over, then 

grill for 4 minutes on the other 

side, checking every few minutes 

as every grill is different. They 

should look a little golden. 

If baking, drizzle a little olive 

oil over the patties, then bake in 

the oven for 10 minutes. 

Flip them over and bake for a 

further 10 minutes.

Diana Isaac Retirement Village Manager 

Steve Wakeman has had a long and illustrious 

career in the world of hospitality, including a 

stint in one of the finest 5-star hotels in the 

US, the Ritz Carlton in San Francisco. 

Steve’s introduction to Ryman’s hospitality 

came after he moved to New Zealand 

and, along with his partner, developed a 

boutique lodge in Golden Bay. 

During their time running the lodge, 

residents from Ryman’s Ernest Rutherford 

village in Nelson would sometimes visit. 

Steve got chatting with them and liked 

what he heard. 

“I saw how much they loved their village,” 

he says. 

When they sold the lodge, Steve spent 

some time thinking about what he would 

like to do next. After his experiences 

getting to know the Ernest Rutherford 

village residents, he had an inkling that 

managing a retirement village would be an 

ideal fit for him. 

Ryman was his preferred company to 

work with because of its great reputation, 

so when the village manager role at Ryman’s 

Rowena Jackson village in Invercargill 

became available, he jumped at the chance. 

Steve loved his time there, however 

his home and his partner are in North 

Canterbury. So, when he was offered 

the village manager role at Diana Isaac 

village, he was excited to come back north 

to Christchurch. 

“The beautiful thing about working for 

Ryman is each village operates under the 

same structure but has its unique look and 

feeling and energy,” he says. 

Steve has enjoyed getting to know the 

unique Diana Isaac community of residents 

and team members. The supportive village 

team includes Shane Vargas and Anna 

Scott, who share the Clinical Manager role. 

This gives a great work-life balance to Shane 

and Anna who both have young families. 

“The residents here, especially the 

independent residents, are very energetic, 

and I thrive on that. We get along 

swimmingly - I’ll go over during happy hour 

and have a good chat. The team have been 

very welcoming too,” says Steve. 

“Our residents pride themselves on being 

very friendly, which is really nice. There’s 

a real emphasis on that, a real effort to 

include everybody.” 

In keeping with Ryman’s commitment to 

the village’s community, the village centre is 

undergoing some exciting upgrades. “The 

residents enjoy watching the progress,” 

says Steve. 

“The whole kitchen’s getting refurbished. 

We’re adding a café, which I’m super 

excited about. It will be a full sit-down cafe 

with indoor-outdoor seating and flow, and 

it’ll be well patronised, that’s for sure!” 

The assisted living apartment lounge 

and dining area also have expansion work 

underway. Another bonus for Steve and the 

village community is that Diana Isaac village 

gets many opportunities to trial new initiatives 

that will improve the lives of residents. 

One such initiative is Home Care, a suite 

of optional care and hospitality services 

such as housekeeping, meals, or assistance 

with showering and medication, offered in

PUTTING ON THE RITZ AT DIANA ISAAC RETIREMENT VILLAGE 

Village Manager, Steve Wakeman 

the comfort of a resident’s own townhouse 

or independent apartment. 

“It’s a great choice for people that aren’t 

ready to move into a serviced apartment 

or into resthome care. But they might need 

a little bit of help, it might even be a shortterm 

thing where they had surgery and 

need help for a few weeks. With Home Care 

we can do that right in their apartment or 

townhouse in the village, where they feel 

most comfortable.” 

Assistance with housekeeping has been 

a popular choice, and some residents are 

also getting care services which help them 

to stay independent for longer and make 

the most of life at the village. 

“It’s a great, fun, vibrant village to live in,” 

says Steve. 

It can be seen in the beautiful gardens, in 

the activities and social opportunities for 

residents, and in team members supporting 

residents and each other. 

“When people come here, we are 

welcoming, and we take the time to get to 

know them,” says Steve. 

“At Ryman we ask, ‘What is the measure 

of a full life? How can we help residents to 

enjoy a full life?’ That’s really important.” 

DIANA ISAAC VILLAGE 

There’s something for everyone with independent living in a 

townhouse or apartment, assisted-living in a serviced apartment, 

and resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care.

RAY WHITE PAPANUI 

Ray White Papanui welcomes 

two new experienced agents. 

Featured properties 

At Ray White Papanui, we are excited to welcome two experienced Licensee 

Salespeople to our growing team. Bron Poole and Phil Mac have joined our office 

this month, both with previous real estate experience under the Ray White brand. 

Bron’s experience is 

underpinned by her 

previous real estate 

career in Central Otago 

and prior to that a 

corporate career in human 

resources in Malaysia and management 

in the private education section in Tokyo, 

Japan. Bron has also owned a yoga 

studio and holistic healing centre and 

she enjoys connecting with her clients at 

an authentic level and really tailoring her 

service to their specific needs. 

Bron is passionate about Real estate 

as it gives her an opportunity to work 

within the community helping clients to 

reach their home selling and purchasing 

goals. 

Hear what Bron’s previous clients have 

to say about her 

Bron sold my Mothers 

unit. She was great to 

deal with, very pleasant, 

positive and happy 

to go the extra mile 

when required. I would 

definitely recommend 

Bron to sell your place. 

Bron is amazing! Very 

easy to deal with. I 

have recently purchased 

the house and Bron 

kept me fully informed 

throughout the whole 

process and has been 

very helpful. She is 

always available for 

questions and advice. I 

would highly recommend 

using her as a real estate 

agent. 

Phil believes the three 

most important things in 

life are your health, your 

family, and your largest 

asset which is usually, 

one’s property. Phil Mac is 

very passionate about helping people. He 

has helped countless number of people 

with improving their health and was 

very successful in that department. He 

is also very involved with his family and 

continues to strive, providing them with the 

best in life. His current goal is to help his 

community and people with their largest 

asset (property) and get them the best 

result so they can move forward with their 

lives. 

His success comes from focusing on his 

client’s needs, dedicating 100% of himself, 

and utilising his skills, knowledge and 

marketing methods to make a fantastic 

sale. With the Superior Marketing of Ray 

White, plus his dedicated work ethic, Phil 

Mac gets you RESULTS! 

Hear what Phil’s previous clients have to 

say about him 

Phil goes the extra mile 

when selling your property. 

Amazing service. I will be 

recommending him and also 

using him in future sales. 

Phil is an excellent 

communicator and is 

very thorough in his 

procedures. He performed 

extremely well considering 

the changes in the 

marketing environment, ie. 

Government policy, banks 

etc. It was a challenging sell 

and we are very pleased.
