Park to be 

revamped,

added

PLANS TO redevelop Avon Park 

have been given the green light 

by the Waitai Coastal-Burwood- 

Linwood Community Board. 

The board approved plans to 

revamp the existing facilities on 

the upper terrace of Avon Park 

and transform the lower terrace 

into a naturalised wetland. 

City council head of parks, 

Andrew Rutledge said the park 

Andrew 

Rutledge 

and surrounding 

pockets of 

regeneration 

area will incorporate 

the City 

to Sea Pathway, 

improve local 

ecology and 

upgrade the 

current recreational 

facilities. 

“Once completed, the lower 

terrace of Avon Park will be 

transformed to an ecologically 

restored wetland, and improved 

play and recreational facilities 

installed on the higher ground. 

The City to Sea Pathway will 

run through the heart of the 

park,” he said. 

“We’re grateful to the 

Christchurch Earthquake Appeal 

Trust who are funding the 

upper terrace portion of this 

proposed work. The Christchurch 

Regeneration Acceleration 

Facility will fund the work on 

the lower terrace.” 

Rutledge said 112 groups and 

individuals made submissions 

on the park redevelopment 

during a four-week consultation 

period in February and March. 

“We’re pleased with the 

response we received for a consultation 

of a local park, with 

almost 70 per cent of submitters 

supporting a comprehensive 

redevelopment of the park and 

the surrounding pockets of 

regeneration area.” 

Construction is expected to 

start in summer, and is estimated 

to be completed by mid 2025. 

Road changes in Wainoni get go-ahead 

MAJOR CHANGES loom for 

Avonside Dr and surrounding 

streets in Wainoni. 

The Waitai Coastal- 

Burwood-Linwood 

Community Board has 

recommended the city council 

instructs staff to begin the 

formal road-stopping process 

for Avonside Drive between 

Kerrs Rd and Wainoni Rd, 

and change the section of 

road between 144 Kerrs Rd 

and Kerrs Reach into a parks’ 

access road. 

As part of the 

recommendation, trafficcalming 

measures will be made 

to Torlesse St, Braemar Place 

and Kerrs Rd north of Wainoni 

Rd, and traffic counters 

installed on Torlesse St to 

measure if the changes result in 

significant traffic increases on 

the local road. 

The stopping and eventual 

closure of Avonside Drive 

will improve the safety of 

recreational users in the 

Ōtākaro Avon River Corridor, 

as well as making provisions 

to ecologically restore that 

area in the future, said city 

council head of parks, Andrew 

Rutledge. 

“Staff traffic reports that 

were completed in 2021 showed 

that while Avonside Drive 

daily traffic flow is at the lower 

end of the range, the average 

vehicle speeds are high. This is 

mostly due to the fact the road 

looks like a rural road, but the 

high speeds are concerning 

and pose a safety risk to other 

users of the Ōtākaro Avon 

River Corridor,” he said. 

“Our modelling shows 

closing this section of Avonside 

Dr would slightly increase the 

daily number of vehicles using 

the surrounding minor arterial 

roads, but they will remain 

within the average traffic 

volume range. However, we 

will install traffic counters to 

monitor traffic movements to 

ensure this is the case.” 

Almost 65 per cent of the 111 

groups and individuals who 

made submissions supported 

the road stopping. 

The city council will consider 

the road-stopping proposal in 

the coming months.

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


A year without library fines 

IT’S BEEN just over a 12 

months since fines were 

removed from Christchurch 

City Libraries. 

And in that year, 

membership and borrowing 

numbers have increased, while 

public feedback has been 

overwhelmingly positive, the 

city council says. 

Since the removal of fines 

the library has had a 10 per 

cent increase in the number 

of new members compared to 

the previous year. The number 

of issues also increased 4.2 per 

cent. 

“Feedback from customers 

has indicated relief, joy and 

delight in being able to use the 

library again after many years 

of not being able to access 

services due to owing fines,” 

said acting head of libraries 

and information Erica 

Rankin, 

“From a staff perspective, 

conversations with customers 

have moved from what was 

negative interactions into really 

positive ones. 

“In addition to improving 

access to our collections, 

services and facilities, 

the removal of fines has 

demonstrated empathy and 

enabled relationships with our 

customers to be strengthened 

by creating trust and showing 

respect. 

“The removal of fines has 

HAPPY BORROWERS: Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive since fines were 

abolished from libraries 12 months ago, the city council said. PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

given customers more choice 

in how to access the collection. 

Parents are no longer penalised 

for overdue children’s 

books being issued mistakenly 

on their card. 

“For others it has provided 

extra time to enjoy their reading 

material and support their 

wellbeing without the pressure 

or worry of having books back 

by a certain time and finding 

money to pay fines.” 

Holds fees reduced from $3 

to $2 from July 2022 and since 

then there has been a 16 per 

cent increase in people utilising 

this service. Hold fees were 

removed entirely for residents 

using the rural Akaroa and 

Little River libraries and holds 

at these libraries have jumped 

by 46 per cent. 

The removal of fines has had 

a minimal impact on access 

to popular books, while the 

number of late returns has 

fluctuated in line with the 

number of books issued. 

Replacement charges for lost 

items still apply and if material 

is not returned 28 days after 

their due date, library users 

are unable to issue more items 

until their overdue material 

is returned.

ANZAC DAY 

TUESDAY APRIL 25, 2023 

Remembering our Anzacs 

“The darkness, calm and chill of the early morning; the sound of 

the single tap of the drum of the parade; the emotionless faces 

of the catafalque guard, and the mournful notes of Last Post 

sounded by a lone bugler, combine to give a feeling of deep 

solemnity. It is the intensity of the symbolism which contributes 

to its powerful impact upon participants; indeed what underlies its 

popularity. In a country with few public rituals, the Dawn Service 

continues to provide a sense of occasion as a meaningful ritual of 

remembrance.” 

rsa.org.nz 

Every year Anzac Day is observed on April 25 by communities 

throughout New Zealand and Australia to remember those who have 

served and those who lost their lives in war. The term ANZAC is the 

acronym for Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, and was first 

used in World War 1. These groups of soldiers back then were known 

as ‘the Anzacs’. 

Anzac commemorations may consist of one or more ceremonies – 

one at dawn (timed to coincide with the initial landings at Gallipoli 

by Australian troops who were the first ashore) and/or one later 

in the morning. The ceremonies are rich in tradition and generally 

begin with a parade of returned servicemen and military personnel 

followed by cadets, youth groups and local dignitaries. War veterans, 

proudly sporting their medals lead the parade, which leads to a local 

cenotaph or memorial gate where the ceremony includes a service 

with hymns, laying of wreaths, dedications, prayers and the Last Post 

played on a bugle. Morning tea follows and allows people to share 

memories and catch up with friends and neighbours. 

Anzac Day was first observed by servicemen in 1916 to mark the 

anniversary of New Zealand and Australian soldiers landing on the 

Gallipoli Peninsula in 1915. It soon became a day where all New 

Zealanders and Australians took time to remember the men and 

women who perished in the Great War. In 1921, Anzac Day became 

an official holiday and by 1922 it was declared a full public holiday 

where shops, banks and hotels remained closed for the day. 

Symbol of remembrance 

The red (or Flanders) poppy is a symbol of remembrance and hope 

all over the world and, in some countries, is worn on Armistice 

Day, however in New Zealand the red poppy is commonly worn 

on Anzac Day. The first Poppy Day appeal was on April 24 in 1922, 

where funds from the sales of small and large silk poppies helped 

relieve suffering in war-ravaged northern France. A paper version 

of the poppy is now sold by the Royal New Zealand Returned 

Services Association on Poppy Day to raise awareness for Anzac 

Day and funds for returned soldiers and their families and local 

communities. 

‘They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: 

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. 

At the going down of the sun and in the morning 

We will remember them.’

ANZAC Biscuits 

Recipe & photo: Nadia Lim www.nadialim.com/anzac-biscuits 

Energy and fibre dense, and able to store for long periods of time, these humble 

biscuits helped give the New Zealand and Australian soldiers the energy they 

needed during the war. Wives, mothers and daughters at home wanted to do 

something to help, and the result was these Anzac biscuits, which were shipped 

off and delivered to their men on the front line. 

INGREDIENTS 

• ¼ cup golden syrup 

• 125 g butter or coconut oil 

• 1/3 cup brown sugar 

• 1 teaspoon baking soda 

• 3 tablespoons boiling 

water 

• 2 cups rolled oats 

• 1 cup dessicated coconut 

or coconut thread 

• ½ cup wholemeal flour 

INSTRUCTIONS 

Preheat oven to 180°C/355 Fahrenheit. Line a large 

baking/oven tray with baking paper. If you don’t have 

a large tray, use 2 medium sized trays and bake the 

biscuits in two batches. 

Place golden syrup, butter or coconut oil and brown 

sugar in a medium saucepan and melt over a low heat, 

mixing well. 

Mix baking soda with boiling water to dissolve, then 

add to melted butter mixture in the pot, along with 

the rolled oats, coconut and flour. Stir all ingredients 

together until well combined. If the mixture looks too 

wet, add a tiny bit more flour. Leave mixture until cool 

enough to handle and firm enough to roll into balls. You 

can speed this up by placing the mixture in the fridge 

for 5 minutes. 

Roll heaped tablespoons of mixture into balls and 

arrange on prepared baking tray (leaving them at least 

3cm apart to allow them to spread during baking). 

Flatten slightly with the back of a fork. Bake for 15-18 

minutes or until light golden brown. 

Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before storing 

in an airtight container. They will crisp up as they cool.

Winter inspiration dished up early 

As the weather cools 

we start to look for 

more comforting 

recipes, and Philippa 

Cameron’s latest 

book Winter Warmers:

from a New Zealand 

high country station 

provides plenty of

Mashed-potato pastry 

sausage rolls 

These sausage rolls are so soft 

and buttery they have become a 

firm favourite with the children, 

as well as in the smoko tins. 

This is also a great way to use up 

any leftover mashed potato that 

would normally hang out at the 

back of your fridge. 

Makes 6 large rolls 

Ingredients 

Mashed-potato pastry: 

50g butter 

75g flour 

1½ cups cold mashed potato 

½ tsp baking powder 

¼ cup milk 

Sausage filling: 

450g sausage meat 

½ tsp curry powder 

1 onion, grated or finely diced 

½ cup breadcrumbs 

tomato sauce (enough to 

combine the mixture) 

To decorate: handful of sesame 

seeds (optional) 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 200degC 

fan-bake and prepare a baking 

tray. 

To make the pastry, rub 

together the butter and flour. 

Add the cold mashed potato and 

baking powder. Combine using a 

dough whisk or butter knife. 

Slowly pour in the milk (you 

may not need all of it) and combine 

to make a firm dough. 

Use clean hands to form the 

dough into a ball. Put the dough 

on a well-floured surface and roll 

out to a square about 5mm (¼in) 

thick. 

Cut in half, creating two rectangles. 

To make the filling, simply 

rinse out the bowl you used to 

make the pastry. 

Squeeze in the sausage meat 

and combine with the remaining 

ingredients. 

Spoon small amounts of the 

filling into the middle of each 

pastry rectangle, creating one 

long sausage down the middle. 

Wrap the pastry around the 

sausage meat, leaving the ends 

open. 

Cut each log into three pieces 

and place on the prepared tray. 

Sprinkle with sesame seeds (if 

using). 

Bake for 25 minutes until 

golden. 

Tips and tricks: 

• I grate my onions instead of 

dicing them. That way, I ensure 

there are no chunks for the fussy 

eaters to find. 

• Turn the pastry a quarterturn 

after each time you roll it. 

This will ensure you get more of 

a square shape. 

• You could use the mashed 

potato pastry as a topping on a 

fish pie or cottage pie. 

Curried cauliflower salad 

It’s sometimes hard to 

get inspiration for salads 

in winter, but this is one you will 

want to make time after time. 

The yoghurt is fresh and light, 

and the curry flavours help liven 

up a winter meal. 

Serves 4-6 

Ingredients 

1 head cauliflower, roughly 

chopped 

420g can chickpeas, drained 

and rinsed 

1 cup unsalted cashews 

3 Tbsp honey 

2 Tbsp olive oil 

2-3 bulbs garlic, crushed 

2 tsp curry powder 

2 tsp ground cumin 

2 tsp ground coriander 

salt and pepper 

Yoghurt dressing 

½ cup plain yoghurt 

1 tsp curry powder 

good squeeze of lemon 

Directions 

Preheat the oven to 180degC 

fan-bake. 

Prepare a large roasting dish. 

Scatter the cauliflower over the 

prepared dish. Scatter the chickpeas 

and cashews on top. 

Combine the honey, oil, garlic 

and spices in a pot on a low heat. 

Heat until runny and combined. 

Drizzle the honey mixture over 

the cauliflower, chickpeas and 

cashews. Grind salt and pepper 

over the top. 

Roast for 20 minutes, tossing 

the mixture every 5-10 minutes, 

until slightly brown. 

Remove from the oven and set 

aside to cool. 

To make the dressing, combine 

all of the ingredients in a small 

bowl or jug. 

Transfer the cauliflower to a 

large bowl and toss through the 

dressing. – ODT 

Do you suffer from 

dizziness, vertigo or BPPV? 

These issues can be treated with vestibular 

physiotherapy. 

Vestibular rehabilitation therapy is a specialised 

form of therapy, in which physiotherapists 

work to improve symptoms of dizziness and the 

balance problems that can occur with vestibular 

dysfunction. Balance problems and dizziness can 

all be treated very effectively. 

Our team of experienced physiotherapists 

have all completed internationally recognised 

competency courses in Vestibular Rehabilitation.

HOME & HEATING 

Get the balance 

right this winter 

Enviro Master has been helping Cantabrians 

get the balance right when it comes to 

choosing the perfect heat pump or air 

conditioning system for their home or office 

since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, qualified 

electricians, heating and refrigeration 

engineers, help to supply and install 

Christchurch’s widest range of heat pumps, 

and because they have no affiliation with any 

one brand, you can be assured their advice 

on the benefits and differences between each 

product is unbiased. 

They will recommend the most energyefficient 

and cost-effective system for your 

individual situation, and will have you 

regulating the heat in your home or office in 

no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often wanting 

whole home solutions to be able to maintain 

even temperatures throughout the home both 

in Winter and Summer. This can be achieved 

by using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in designing, 

installing and commissioning these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy covering 80 per cent of 

the cost of a new heat pump up to $3000. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer Kiwi 

Homes initiative and is available to Home 

owner/occupiers with a Community Services 

Card, a SuperGold combo card or who live in 

a low-income area as determined by deciles 

8-10 on the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

The applicant’s home must also have been 

built before 2008, have insulation up to code 

(insulation subsidies also available) and have 

no fixed heating in a living area, such as an 

existing operational heat pump or fireplace. 

With new regulations now in place for 

Landlords to provide heating in rentals, it’s 

time to ensure you are meeting the new 

standards. 

Inadequate heating and ventilation can 

lead to mould growth and dampness in your 

property, leading to costlier maintenance 

and an unhealthy living environment. 

Providing a fixed heater with a higher heat 

output and lower running costs, like a heat 

pump, will enable your tenants to heat the 

area effectively. Enviro Master are well 

experienced with the Tenancy Services 

software to ensure that you are meeting your 

requirements. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. This 

consultation is at no cost to the customer 

and is always provided before a heat pump is 

installed. 

Anyone wondering about their eligibility 

for a subsidised heat pump are welcome to 

get in touch for details and help with the 

application process. To find out more, call 

Enviro Master on (03) 366 0525 or visit 

their website www.enviromaster.co.nz 

Keep cosy with 

RD Petroleum 

this winter 

RD Petroleum (RDP) is a familiar sight 

for farm and rural residents around the 

Canterbury region, however now days urban 

residents also enjoy the same excellent 

customer service for which RDP is known for 

in rural communities, through their home 

heating diesel. 

RDP began its home heating diesel delivery 

service to the lower South Island’s main urban 

centres of Christchurch, Timaru, Dunedin 

and Invercargill a number of years ago. 

Customer demand has continued to increase 

year upon year, and RDP has responded 

with specialised improvements to its delivery 

equipment. 

The trucks that deliver RDP’s home heating 

diesel in each urban centre are drawn from 

the company’s extensive vehicle fleet. This 

means they have the latest communication 

and GPS tracking technology on board, so 

the operations team always know where they 

are and how far away they are from their next 

delivery stop. 

RDP’s home heating diesel trucks come 

equipped with a specially-designed hose, 

through which the diesel is pumped from 

the truck into house tanks. The length of 

the hose allows the trucks to access tanks 

without having to enter the property, avoiding 

damaging the driveway. RDP is the place to 

go if you require diesel conveniently delivered 

to your home and as a loyal RDP customer 

you’re offered discounted pricing and can 

become eligible for value-added benefits. 

For all enquiries please phone 

0800 44 00 14, or visit the RDP website at
