Teenager 

rescues 

brother in 

harrowing 

house fire 

• By Nathan Morton 

A TEENAGER made a desperate 

bid to rescue his younger brother 

as their home burned to the 

ground, almost claiming the life 

of his sibling and their father. 

The 16-year-old dashed back 

into the fire after he heard his 

mother count each of her seven 

children and realise her thirdyoungest 

was still inside with her 

husband. 

The mum, Lizzie Tugaga, has 

spoken for the first time this week 

about the harrowing ordeal. 

She was preparing to brave the 

flames herself at the property on 

Hoon Hay Rd, before she saw her 

eldest return with his sibling. 

“I’m so lucky he heard and went 

inside to get his little brother,” she 

said. 

While thankful her whānau is 

safe, Tugaga and her family are 

left with the trauma of the blaze, 

where they watched everything 

they owned go up in flames. The 

expression “left with only the 

clothes on their backs” doesn’t 

even apply. 

Their car, appliances and 

sentimental belongings are now 

nothing but a memory.

Bullied paperboy 

keeps delivering 

and resilience. 

Hornby High School student 

Jason Snowsill, 13, has been 

delivering The Star for the past 

two months. 

Jason got the job so he could 

buy himself an electric scooter. 

Since day one, he has faced 

challenges delivering the papers, 

with kids from his school 

bullying him for doing his paper 

run. 

“The kids from school would 

come up and take photos of me 

and share them around and 

make fun of me,” Jason said. 

“I had a kid push my buggy 

over that I use to deliver the papers, 

and I had to pick them up 

one by one.” 

Despite the incidents, Jason 

was determined every single one 

of the 300 papers he delivers in 

the Hei Hei area made it to their 

readers. 

“He was adamant that on the 

Thursday and Friday (after his 

paper buggy was knocked over), 

he would get it done . . . and do a 

good a job,” mum Sarah said. 

When Allied Press director 

Nick Smith heard Jason’s story, 

he decided to help. 

“When I heard of the way this 

young lad had been badly treated 

while doing a Star delivery run, 

from which the money earned 

was to go toward buying his 

dream scooter, I was most annoyed,” 

he said. 

Smith’s contribution, along 

with donations from staff, meant 

Jason got a scooter he could only 

dream about. 

Smith said it shows hard work 

can be rewarded. 

“In my opinion this is outstanding 

and he deserves this 

recognition.” 

While distributing the papers 

after school, Jason will also stop 

and talk with the elderly. 

“He will go and have chats 

with some of the elderly when 

he delivers the paper to them,” 

Sarah said. 

Jason was really happy with 

his new wheels, and immediately 

took the scooter for a spin 

around the Star Media office. 

“Thank you to everyone who 

made it happen,” he said. 

Jason is yet to decide what 

his next saving goal will be, but 

he’s adamant he wants to keep 

delivering the papers.

In Brief 

Fatal crash couple 

new to South Island 

A husband and wife killed in 

a triple-fatal crash in North 

Canterbury had only moved to 

the South Island less than three 

months ago to begin a new 

chapter in their lives. Three 

people were killed following 

a collision on Main North 

Rd, Sefton, about 6.50pm on 

Sunday. Among the victims 

were early childhood teacher 

Donna Young, a mother of four, 

and her husband Christopher 

Young. Family spokeswoman 

Trixie Duckett said the family 

was “absolutely devastated”. 

“It’s a tragedy . . . Chris and 

Donna were like soulmates 

really. Donna had never been as 

happy as she’s been in the last 

few years with Chris, they’d 

done really well together, they 

got married and then made the 

decision to move down south,” 

she said. Duckett said the 

couple moved from Wairarapa 

less than three months ago. 

Teenagers brawl at 

Westfield mall 

Stunned onlookers watched 

a brawl breakout near the 

Westfield Riccarton food court 

about 6pm on Tuesday. Two 

young people were arrested 

after a fight which involved 

about 15 teenagers. Police 

said there were no reports of 

injuries.

Big spend 

proposed by 

Manji 

THE OPPORTUNITIES Party 

leader Raf Manji is promising 

to spend $1 billion dollars in 

Christchurch if he is elected in 

October. 

The former city councillor, who 

is standing in the Ilam electorate, 

outlined the plan at a public 

meeting in Avonhead on Tuesday 

night. 

Manji said he would invest 

$90 million in police, $600m in 

health funding, $200m for transport, 

and $70m to finish Christ 

Church Cathedral, Arts Centre 

and Provincial Chambers, as well 

as $40m for a new primary and 

secondary school. 

“We have no voice in Wellington 

at all, and they are simply 

not interested in us . . . For the 

second largest city in the country, 

we do not get the resources we 

deserve,” he said. 

His plan involves 150 new 

community constables, a police 

training college in the South 

Island, and $5 million for 10 new 

police kiosks at locations like the 

central city, the bus exchange and 

in malls. They would be staffed 

24/7, with constables walking the 

streets, he said. 

Manji also outlined his plans 

for $580m South Island cancer 

centre and a $20m new mental 

health and trauma centre.

NORTHWOOD residents 

may still be unhappy, but city 

councillor Aaron Keown says 

he is now less concerned about a 

27-unit over-50s social housing 

development. 

Keown attended 

a meeting with 

Kāinga Ora to 

discuss neighbours’ 

concerns about 

the complex being 

built next to the 

Northwood Supa 

Centa. 

“Residents who 

spoke to me were 

worried about the impact of 

increased traffic in the area,” he 

said. 

“I’ve now been assured it will 

be a high quality development 

for over-50s. 

“It’s a real pity residents were 

not at the meeting because I 

believe their concerns would 

have been addressed.” 

The meeting on Monday was 

instigated by a group of Pentland 

Estate residents who learned the 

development in their subdivision 

will become social housing. 

But residents’ representatives 

did not attend. Just 24 hours 

before the meeting, resident 


Kāinga Ora complex will be ‘high 

quality development for over-50s’

Keown

Ann Sanders sent an email to 

those invited calling for it to be 

postponed. 

She said she had received a 

lot of feedback from residents 

who said they wanted a larger 

community meeting held in its 

place. 

“I initially agreed to attend but 

then found out the community 

did not want it because it was 

going to leave them out of the 

consultation process,” she said. 

Immediate neighbours signed 

off on the planned over-50s 

housing complex six years ago, 

but Kāinga Ora announced this 

year it was buying the partlyfinished 

complex. The housing 

agency initially declined to meet 

residents, but agreed to a small 

private meeting organised by the 

Belfast Community Network. 

The development and support 

network is led by business and 

community leaders and employs 

six staff, plus volunteers. 

It is part-funded from the 

city council’s strengthening 

communities fund. 

Two representatives from 

Kāinga Ora, Waimakariri 

MP Matt Doocey and Keown 

attended the meeting. Network 

general manager Lynda 

Goodrick said she organised it to 

support the residents. 

Afterwards Kāinga Ora 

regional director Liz Krause said 

the meeting was constructive, 

but any comment had to come 

from the network as it had 

organised the meeting. 

Krause said: “We will be 

reaching out directly to Pentland 

Estate residents who contact us.” 

In a statement the network’s 

board said: “We met local 

and central Government 

representatives to discuss 

housing in the community. 

We understand some residents 

have concerns . . . and strongly 

recommend, in the first instance, 

they contact the appropriate 

organisations to discuss these 

matters. A resident who has 

concerns was also invited to 

be a part of this meeting but 

declined,” the statement said. 

Sanders said Pentland Estate 

residents want a larger meeting 

with Kāinga Ora to discuss their 

concerns. 

Said Goodrick: “If such a 

meeting were to be held, we 

would attend if invited and if 

it is in the best interests of the 

community.”

RESIDENTS have taken 

their fight to the city council 

over Kāinga Ora’s 17-unit 

development in the Copper 

Ridge, Halswell, subdivision. 

It comes after the Government 

social housing agency rejected a 

residents’ petition 

demanding a pause 

on development 

to allow time for 

consultation. 

Copper Ridge 

resident Kevin 

Roach said the 

development would impact road 

safety and outlined his concerns 

to city councillors at their 

meeting yesterday. 

A major concern was that 

it would increase traffic at the 

Halswell Junction Rd/Albert 

Wills Ave intersection. 

Three years ago, Roach’s then 

seven-year-old daughter was hit 

by a driver going 70km/h on 

Halswell Junction Rd. The speed 

limit is 50km/h. She recovered, 

but no action has since been 

taken to improve the crossing or 

speed controls. 

Haslwell Ward city councillor 

Andrei Moore responded to 

Roach, acknowledging the 

speeding issue. Moore said 

surveys showed 15 out of 100 

vehicles travel at about 70km/h 

on Halswell Junction Rd. 

Moore suggested the council is 

considering a lower speed limit 

during school time and a safer 

crossing. 

Roach told city councillors 

with more cars because of the 

Kāinga Ora development, it was 

a “disaster waiting to happen”. 

There was a long-standing issue 

with speeding and a lack of safe 

crossings for schoolchildren on 

Halswell Junction Rd, he said. 

Roach told The Star after the 

council meeting, he believed 

Kāinga Ora uses “cloak and

dagger” tactics when buying land 

and housing developments under 

way for social housing, limiting 

neighbouring residents in their 

ability to oppose them. 

In Northwood, residents 

initially signed off on a complex 

for over-50s. Then Kāinga Ora 

suddenly announced it had 

purchased the development for 

social housing. The city council 

has told The Star it cannot legally 

halt the Kāinga Ora development 

since consents were already 

given. 

Roach told The Star he doesn’t 

“have any faith in the council” to 

address residents’ concerns over 

the Kāinga Ora development’s 

impact on traffic. 

Residents want a separate exit 

for the Kāinga Ora complex to 

avoid more right-turning traffic 

onto Halswell Junction Rd. 

Roach criticised the 

city council for approving 

developments without 

community consultation. 

“The council doesn’t have a 

grip on developers. Someone’s 

saying, okay, it looks good on 

paper, tick.” 

Copper Ridge residents will 

meet soon to discuss their next 

steps. 

• By Dylan Smits 

KĀINGA ORA is set to build 

90 homes on Quaifes Rd in 

Halswell. 

The city council approved 

the sale of the land in July 

2021, but the Government has 

now finalised the purchase for 

Kāinga Ora. 

Housing Minister Megan 

Woods said: “The Kāinga Ora 

land programme is about 

making strategic land purchases 

in areas where the market alone 

struggles to deliver the quantity 

and type of housing needed.” 

In 2021, Halswell residents 

presented a petition to the city 

council, requesting a third of 

the land be retained by the city 

council for future community 

use or green space. The city 

council rejected the proposal, 

and all the land has now been 

sold to Kāinga Ora. 


NEWS 5 

More land bought 

for social housing 

Haslwell Ward city councillor 

Andrei Moore said: “I’m keeping 

an open mind as to what 

possibilities may arise from it.” 

Kāinga Ora is proposing 

affordable, private housing be 

built with a small amount of 

social housing. 

When asked whether he 

thought there would be an 

effective consultation process 

with residents, Moore said: 

“The development hasn’t started 

so there’s still ample time to 

consult.” 

He said an effective 

consultation process could 

include questions such as 

“what could be included in the 

development that could tie in 

quite well with the needs in the 

area?” 

The Halswell Residents 

Association declined to 

comment on the development as 

it is waiting for more details.

What legends: 

• By Heidi Slade 

GLOBAL MUSIC and sports legends 

including Ringo Starr and Liam Gallagher 

are helping fundraise for a single mum 

of two, who has triple-negative, invasive 

breast cancer. 

Natasha Lombart was diagnosed in 

March and has been receiving chemotherapy 

to treat her cancer since April. 

For the treatment to have the highest 

chance of clearing all tumour cells from 

Lombart’s body, she needs immunotherapy, 

a $100,000 treatment not funded 

in New Zealand. 

On its own, chemotherapy has a 50 per 

cent chance of eliminating the cancer cells. 

But with the immunotherapy treatment, 

that is boosted to 67 per cent. Immunotherapy 

will also boost her three-year 

survival rate to 87 per cent, Lombart said. 

“That’s a massive win.” 

So, to raise enough money for her 

treatment, an England-based childhood 

friend of Lombart’s used work connections 

to engage celebrities such as Gallagher 

and Starr, and sports stars like England 

football captain Harry Kane and boxing 

legend of the 1980s Sugar Ray Leonard. 

THE TASMAN: Stand-alone home, double garage. Three bedrooms, 

two bathrooms, patio. From $730,000. 

FIGHT: Sugar Ray Leonard has donated a framed, signed boxing glove. 

A new era of living for over 50’s has arrived!

All of the proceeds went to

Lombart, from Sumner, said 

she was overwhelmed by the

“I wasn’t a massive Beatles fan, 

but I grew up watching Thomas

TEAM EFFORT: Natasha Lombart’s fundraiser received signed football shirts from West Ham captain Declan Rice 

and England captain Harry Kane, which her son Max, 5, was especially excited about. Right – Lombart began 

chemotherapy in April. 

The show was narrated by 

Ringo Starr for its first two

Lombart’s children, Mila and 

Max, are four and five years old. 

“(The cancer) has fully turned 

everything upside down,” she

Lombart said she was given a 

special exemption to leave the 

hospital to take Max to his first

On the bright side of things,” 

she said.

Man faces 

grant theft 

allegations 

• By Sam Sherwood 

A CHRISTCHURCH man 

faces 58 charges in relation to an 

alleged theft of over $200,000 in 

grant funding. 

The Department of Internal 

Affairs says the alleged offending 

relates to charges of forgery, theft 

of grant funds and dishonestly 

using a document. 

“We aim to ensure communities 

receive the maximum benefit 

from grants by detecting and 

deterring fraudulent activity in 

gambling-related grant funding,” 

said DIA gambling director Dave 

Robson. 

The man, who was granted 

interim name suppression 

following inquiries by the NZ 

Herald, was involved both in 

the Class 4 gambling sector and 

the community sports sector, 

obtaining $202,341.60 worth 

of grants on behalf of sporting 

organisations by allegedly 

submitting false quotes and 

failing to spend grant money on 

authorised purposes. 

These incidents took place 

between 2018 and 2020. The man 

was remanded on bail and is 

due to appear in court again on

Classic apartment 

Halswell tops 

most viewed list 

• By Catherine Masters 

WHAT ARE the most searched 

suburbs in the city in the first five 

months of the year? 

OneRoof data reveals eyes were 

drawn especially to Halswell, 

St Albans and Christchurch 

Central, with Halswell gaining a 

more than 100 per cent increase 

in searches year-on-year. 

Harcourts 

Holmwood chief 

executive Tony 

Jenkins said 

Halswell, where 

the average value is 

$827,000, has seen 

Tony 

Jenkins 

a lot of subdivision 

happening. 

“Halswell is a 

popular area. There’s been a lot 

of section development. People 

do like to live in Halswell and it’s 

only a quick run into the city as 

well so it’s a popular family area I 

suppose you could call it. 

“St Albans (average property 

value $882,000) is a real market 

that’s close to town, it’s a redevelopment 

area, it’s probably affordable 

for first-home buyers and it’s 

probably an up-and-coming area 

in terms of close to the city.” 

Jenkins’ office has a number 

of development properties 

on the market in St Albans, 

and OneRoof records show 

the biggest settled sale in 

Christchurch so far this year 

was there with $3.05m paid for a 

property in Knowles St. 

Christchurch Central, where 

the average value is $655,000, 

is looking “pretty sharp”, said 

Jenkins, after the earthquake 

rebuild. 

“That’s probably why you’re 

getting a lot of interest in the 

inner city. People are realising 

there’s good facilities in town 

now. There’s good restaurants, 

good shopping and people are 

looking at can they buy an 

apartment or whatever the case 

may be.”

AN APARTMENT in a block 

of flats designed by Sir Miles 

Warren that was once labelled 

Christchurch’s ugliest building 

is now publicly for sale for the 

first time since 1956. 

The owners of the Dorset 

Street Flats have finally finished 

restoring the property, a 

category 1 heritage-protected 

building, after it was significantly 

damaged in the February 

22, 2011 earthquake. 

The property is to be 

auctioned next Thursday. 

Warren built the block of 

eight flats for himself and three 

friends, including Michael 

Weston who was the original 

owner of 14 Dorset St in 

1956. 

The friends lived in the 

ground-floor flats with 

courtyards and owned a second 

upstairs flat for rental income. 

The flats were considered 

extremely radical at the time 

and, according to historic 

records, were nicknamed “one 

of the ugliest buildings in the

city” and “Fort Dorset”. 

But Warren’s design went 

on to inspire a whole new era 

of architecture and was hailed 

for setting new architectural, 

social and aesthetic standards 

for residential buildings in New 

Zealand. 

The Dorset Street Flats was 

one of the first attempts at 

constructing a building from 

load-bearing concrete block and 

is recognised as one of the most 

important Modern movement 

buildings. 

First National listing 

agent Katharine Burrell said 

the owners had been given 

the option to demolish the 

flats due to the significant 

damage sustained during the 

earthquake.

city’s ugliest 

However, they rejected the 

idea due to the building’s 

architectural significance. 

The flats remained empty 

after the earthquake until 

the restoration was finally 

completed early last year. 

No. 14 Dorset St was owned 

by Weston, a lawyer by 

profession, and has remained 

under his extended family’s 

ownership having being passed 

on to his stepson, and then 

partner. 

“In this particular case, the 

vendor was very passionate 

about keeping the essence of 

what Miles Warren did and 

they have kept it until the stage 

where it’s finished, it’s complete 

and it’s probably the most 

authentic going back to 1956 

or 1957 – and now it’s time to 

move on.” 

As part of the restoration, 

underfloor heating and double 

glazing were added to the 

one-bedroom, one-bathroom 

flat. 

“It’s those things that you 

don’t see but make a huge 

difference to living in 2023.” 

The Dorset Street Flats were 

initially designed to have a

flat in central

community feel and included a 

shared laundry and garaging. 

The communal building was 

destroyed in the earthquake 

and has been rebuilt with 

four garages for each of the 

downstairs flats. 

Burrell said the iconic flats 

would suit a wider variety of 

people including those who 

really value its architectural 

significance in New Zealand. 

“It’s unique, it’s got so much 

atmosphere.” 

The flat is the first to be sold 

on the open market since the 

restoration was completed and 

Burrell said it was difficult to 

put a price on it. 

“That’s one of the reasons why 

it’s being auctioned. It’s not just 

bricks and mortar. It’s not just a 

nice one-bedroom flat in central 

Christchurch – it’s the history 

that goes with it.” – NZ Herald

Second boatshed 

goes up for sale 

• By Nikki Preston 

A SECOND Akaroa boatshed is 

to be sold under the hammer just 

months after a boatshed on the 

opposite side of the bay netted 

an impressive $255,000 in a hotly 

contested auction. 

The boatshed at the end of a 

group of 11 on the waterfront on 

Onawe Flat Rd in Duvauchelle 

Bay will be sold at auction next 

Thursday, and is one of just a few 

that come up for sale on the open 

market. 

Bayleys listing 

agent Chris 

Mangels said the 

boatshed is welllined 

but needs 

some maintenance, 

including 

Chris 

Mangels 

upgrading the 

deck and ramp, 

adding it gives 

the new buyer the 

opportunity to stamp their mark 

on it. 

The current owners, who now 

live in Auckland, used the property 

as a base for waterskiing and 

socialising. 

Mangels said it would be a 

“valuable tack-on” for buyers who 

already have an existing holiday 

home in the area. 

“You’ve got the cool bach and 


then the advantage of having 

your bach stored away safely on 

the waterfront.” 

It is in a quieter location than 

a similar-sized boatshed on 

Seafield Rd on the opposite side 

of Duvauchelle Bay that was 

auctioned in March this year and 

had better road access, he said. 

Mangels said it was difficult 

to put a price on the property, 

especially when the Seafield 

Rd boatshed was the first to be 

offered for sale in a long time. 

However, he said the vendors are 

motivated to sell. 

There are not many boatsheds 

available in Akaroa and they 

are seldomly available publicly, 

he said. Most are either sold to 

friends, neighbours or sometimes 

sold with properties.

Dodgy builder 

fined over 

faulty roof 

• By Jeremy Wilkinson 

A BUILDER who swapped out 

consented roofing material for a 

Chinese product to save money 

was caught out when the paint 

began to deteriorate several years 

later. 

The board found Christchurchbased 

builder Scott Lilly guilty of 

negligence and fined him $3000. 

It is unclear how many 

homes may have been built 

with the unconsented product. 

But evidence submitted to the 

Building Practitioners Board 

suggests it could be up to 60 in the 

Selwyn District. 

The decision said Lilly 

substituted consented roofing 

material on a new house he was 

building with the product he 

imported from China. 

There was no evidence the 

Chinese product met New 

Zealand’s building code standards. 

Selwyn District Council issued a 

code of compliance for the house 

without knowing the MetalCraft 

product had been substituted. 

The house was then sold. The 

purchaser noticed deterioration 

in the roof paint and made a 

complaint about it, which led to 

a closer inspection by the district 

council into the actual roofing 

product that was used.

Building inspector may be liable 

for leaky house after report all-clear 

Paul 

Cogswell 

A RETIRED house inspector 

is facing part liability for a 

$700,000 leaky building claim 

after he provided a pre-purchase 

inspection report that the city 

council alleges was negligent. 

But the retired inspector believes 

he has a good case to fight 

the claim. Keith Milne said the 

Scarborough house he inspected 

in May 2010 would have been 

markedly different from when 

the weathertight problems were 

found two years later because 

there were two major earthquakes 

and hundreds of aftershocks 

in the intervening period. 

Milne said he noted at the time 

of the inspection the extension 

where the problems emerged was 

constructed in a style that has 

since been found to have moisture 

issues, and his moisture tests 

could not be invasive without 

removing wall and ceiling linings. 

A claim was originally made by 

the homeowners against the city 

council. However, the city council 

has successfully applied to the 

Weathertight Homes Tribunal 

to have Milne face a share of the 

liability. 

In the tribunal’s decision, 

published in April, chairman Paul 

Cogswell concluded the homeowners 

could have a claim against 

Milne, therefore the city council 

did too. The saga began on May 

13, 2010 when James Cooney 

and Paul Dempsey signed a sale 

and purchase agreement for the 

house, subject to 

a satisfactory prepurchase 

inspection. 

Milne provided 

the report on May 

17 when he was coowner 

of a Christchurch 

franchise 

of The NZ House 

Inspection Company. 

The report said the house, 

which now has a capital value 

of $1.3 million, was in generally 

good condition. Some cracks 

were noted in the exterior cladding 

and repair was advised. 

It said moisture levels where 

tested were good but the house 

had been built in a style which 

had problems with moisture. 

The report concluded the extension 

was relatively sound and 

did not warrant further investigation 

or raise significant concern. 

The claimants went ahead and 

bought the house, but in August 

and November 2012, the extension 

on the house was assessed 

as having leaky issues. Cogswell 

said it was arguable, based on the 

extent of defects identified by assessors 

in three reports obtained 

by the claimants, Milne’s report 

was negligent. 

He said many of the defects 

could have been seen on visual 

inspection and many found 

in 2012 would have existed at 

the time of the pre-purchase 

inspection report. 

The claim against the city 

council says it failed in its 

consenting, inspecting, and 

certifying role as the relevant 

territorial authority. 

However, the city council 

claimed there was negligent 

misstatement or breach of the 

Fair Trading Act 1986 by Milne 

because of the alleged defective 

inspection. 

Cogswell said Milne was 

“arguably imposed with a duty of 

care when preparing the report 

for the claimants, the report 

was arguably negligent and the 

claimants arguably relied on it, 

causing them loss”. 

Cogswell said the claimants’ 

decision to go unconditional 

was arguably made because they 

were “deceived by the misleading 

report and so, damage arose from 

the impugned report”. 

Milne retired in 2015 and could 

not understand why the claim 

had dragged on for a decade. 

He said he would be forced into 

bankruptcy if he lost. 

The city council said it could 

not comment further while the 

case was ongoing. – Open Justice

Relief! ‘Mum don’t run, he’s out now’ 

• From page 1 

The ongoing spike in the 

cost of living saw the family’s 

contents insurance lapse, with 

that money put into urgent 

repairs for their car. 

Tugaga 

recollects the 

events of June 

2 well. It began 

as most nights 

ended – the 

kids all tucked 

Lizzie 

Tugaga 

up in bed and 

the diligent 

mother folding 

the washing and 

watching the late television news. 

Her husband, from their 

bedroom, called her name. “Fire! 

Fire! Get out!” 

Tugaga said she tried not to 

panic and focused on waking her 

sleeping children and evacuating 

them to safety. 

Their eldest heard the yelling 

and helped make the rounds. 

Flames and smoke began 

to quickly appear as Tugaga 

herded her bunch outside, to the 

footpath on the other side of the 

road. 

She began her routine child 

count, rehearsed over many 

years of running a large family. 

One was missing. The third 

youngest was still trapped inside, 

as was her husband. 

Tugaga’s shocked realisation 

switched her eldest to action 

mode, dashing into the flames to 

find the lost child. 

She prepared to face the flames 

herself but before she could reach 

the steps of the house, out came 

the eldest with the missing child 

in his care. “Mum, don’t run. 

He’s out now,” he said. 

The husband made it outside 

too. 

Tugaga said people had filmed 

the fire but never called anybody 

for help. 

And there they stood. A family 

of nine immigrated from Samoa 

to Christchurch shortly before 

the quakes, without extended 

family and now nothing to their 

name. 

Her two youngest children 

cried. 

“Ah mum, what are we gonna 

do?” one asked her. 

“I don’t know,” she said. 

A passing commuter, who had 

noticed her youngest kids standing 

in the cold with singlets, 

handed over a jumper. 

“I’m so sorry, this is the only 

thing in the car,” she said. 

The neighbours then coaxed 

them back to their house. It was 

the start of an influx of community 

gestures that Christchurch 

has become known for in times 

of crisis. 

The host put a request on a 

school-parent social media page, 

calling for anything people 

might have to offer the family. 

A car was donated by a fellow 

parent and food and clothes arrived 

in droves. 

Becky Steetskamp, a Halswell 

local, heard the family’s case 

and immediately knew her large 

property would be perfect for the

homeless group. 

“My husband kept asking ‘Are 

they coming to stay?’ and I was 

like ‘Just give them a chance’,” 

she laughed. 

“We’d only just met these 

people. I had to build enough of 

a relationship in the short span 

of time so (Tugaga) knew she 

could trust me and they could 

come over.” 

Their two children were 

crammed into one room, leaving 

four rooms spare to house the 

large family. But the Tugaga clan 

opted to cram into one of the 

larger bedrooms. 

On Friday last week, Tugaga 

secured a four-bedroom rental in 

a similar area, which came as a 

huge relief. 

Starting from scratch, she says, 

is exhausting work. From little 

things like toothbrushes to large 

appliances like freezers, these 

will need to be found without 

further support from those 

around them. 

A Givealittle page has been 

created and since raised more 

than $24,000 for the family. 

“I’m thankful for the support 

of the community, school and 

church. They’ve blessed us since 

the day of the fire, they’re marvellous,” 

Tugaga said. 

Her children don’t talk much 

of the blaze. Her eldest daughter 

will often comfort her mother 

when she’s spotted crying and 

then shed tears of her own. 

“It’s exhausting and hard, but 

we just have to keep on pushing.” 

Every morning Tugaga now 

wakes up, she begins counting 

her children. 

“It’s easy for me to do it this 

way.”

Way safer streets 

for everyone 

Everyone should be able to safely walk, scooter, bus, cycle or drive where they want to go. 

That’s why we’re making several Ōtautahi Christchurch areas safer for travellers. 

We’ve received Government funding for a range of projects, 

including intersection safety upgrades, pedestrian 

improvements, and better cycle connections. 

Making it safer for people to 

walk, bike or bus helps reduce 

congestion, lowers emissions 

and makes it easier for everyone 

to get around. Most projects will be delivered in 

Linwood and Bromley, areas currently lacking 

in real travel choice. 

Here’s some of what’s proposed to make intersections, crossings and cycling safer 

Safer intersections for 

Linwood 

RICHMOND 

Ōtakaro Avon River 

In Linwood we plan to upgrade the two 

busy intersections of Aldwins/Ensors/ 

Ferry and Aldwins/Buckleys/Linwood. 

These safety improvements include 

the installation of safe speed platforms 

to slow people down as they enter the 

intersections. If someone makes 

a mistake, the likelihood or 

severity of a crash 

is reduced.

UNIVERSITY students are 

getting high off nitrous oxide gas 

– and they can get it delivered to 

their door. 

The nitrous oxide canisters 

are typically used to produce 

whipped cream after being 

placed into a dispenser. 

The gas is also known as 

‘laughing gas’ which is used in 

hospitals, at dentists and during 

childbirth, generally for pain 

relief. 

But delivery companies have 

tapped into the high demand for 

the canisters, which have become 

a popular party drug, known by 

their street name, ‘nangs’. 

They are also targeting their 

consumers through social media 

sites such as Facebook and 

TikTok, as a way to promote 

their products and delivery 

services. 

After placing a Nitrous Oxide 

System canister into a whipped 

cream dispenser and releasing 

the gas into a balloon, the user 

inhales the gas which produces a 

30-second to 5-minute euphoric 

high. 

A student told The Star he 

uses nangs on a weekly basis as 

a recreational drug. While he’ll 

normally do about 10 a night, 

“sometimes we’ll do 20 to 30 

nangs”. 

He said he gets them delivered 

to his flat, rather than buying 

them from a shop as it is more 

discreet. 

The canisters are found in 

some dairies, where they are able 

to be bought after verifying they 

will not be used for the purposes 

of inhalation. 

“If you go into a shop or dairy 

and buy them you have to sign 

this big waiver, it feels way 

dodgier,” he said. 

Nitrous oxide comes under 

the Medicines Act 1982, which 

means it’s not legal to use for the 

purpose of inhalation without 

a prescription. A person who 

possesses nitrous oxide without 

a reasonable excuse can face up 

to three months in prison or a 

$500 fine. 

The website the student buys 


Students order ‘nangs’ online 

canisters from offers free sameday 

delivery. 

“They literally deliver them 

to your house 30 minutes after 

ordering them,” he said. 

The canisters can be bought 

in different volumes, with 

one online service offering 

a box of 10 for $15, a box of 50 

for $60 and a box of 600 for 

$600. 

In April 2021, Medsafe warned 

those who sell NOS canisters for 

the purpose of inhalation could 

be either jailed for up to six 

months or fined up to $40,000 

for illegally selling a prescription 

medicine. 

Another student said he has 

used NOS recreationally several 

times, and his friends have used 

the delivery services. 

HIGH TIMES: Students are 

buying nitrous oxide gas or 

‘nangs’ online – and getting 

them home delivered.

“I know they’re not good for 

you and I think they should be 

harder to get, cause I can tell 

from using them they’re not 

good for your 

brain.” 

New 

Zealand Drug 

Foundation 

executive 

director Sarah 

Sarah Helm 

Helm said when 

NOS is used in 

high quantities, 

the risk is the body doesn’t get 

enough Vitamin B12, which can 

lead to nerve damage. 

“We’d like to see more 

information and education out 

there about the health impacts, 

as well as a way to address the 

litter issue,” she said.

Attempt 

to ‘restore 

reputation’ 

denied 

• By Rob Kidd 

A CHRISTCHURCH man 

who had his conviction for 

breaching lockdown wiped over 

a procedural error has failed 

in a bid to further “restore his 

reputation”. 

Fraser Wright Maddigan was 

charged under the Civil Defence 

Emergency Management Act 

after police found him in his car 

in Queenstown and Te Anau on 

two nights in March 2020. 

More than a year later the 

High Court ruled there had been 

a “fundamental error” made by 

the judge and the duty lawyer 

who had assisted the defendant. 

Despite walking away from the 

experience without a conviction, 

Maddigan recently took his case 

to the Court of Appeal. 

“Mr Maddigan seeks various 

pronouncements from this 

court regarding the merits of his 

broader grounds of appeal,” said 

Justice Sarah Katz. “He believes 

that this is necessary to restore 

his reputation.” 

Justice Katz, in a decision 

released yesterday, said the 

man raised no issues of public 

importance that merited a 

hearing.

OPINION/LETTERS 


‘Committed to delivering new homes’ 

Kāinga Ora 

has come 

under fire 

from residents 

who live close 

to housing 

complexes 

they have planned in 

Christchurch. Liz Krause, 

regional director for 

Canterbury, Kāinga Ora – 

homes and communities, 

explains the agency’s 

position 

I am totally in agreement with 

Cherrie McGlashan’s letter of 

the June 15. The (train) lines are 

still in place through the tunnel 

and all the way to Cashin Quay 

where the cruise ships berth. It 

only requires a platform there for 

people to be able to board a train. 

Yes, the Christchurch station 

is no longer in a suitable place 

for passengers wanting to access 

the city, but with the number of 

ships expected and the financial 

benefit to the city, surely there 

could be a platform erected at 

the back of say Harvey Norman 

on the Moorhouse Ave, Colombo 

St corner as the lines pass behind 

those buildings? Lyttelton residents 

should be supplied with 

THE DEMAND for public 

housing in Ōtautahi 

Christchurch has steadily 

climbed over the past few years 

and we now have more than 

1800 individuals or families in 

our city on the Ministry of Social 

Development’s housing register. 

Some of those people will be 

currently homeless or living in 

over-crowded accommodation. 

Some will be elderly, some will 

have young children. All are in 

need of a home. 

As a Crown agency, Kāinga 

Ora has been given the mandate 

by Government to build more 

public housing to provide homes 

for the growing number of people 

across the country who cannot 

afford to pay market rents. 

In Christchurch, we’ve delivered 

more than 780 public homes 

since 2019. We’re planning on 

delivering another 1000 between 

now and June 2025. 

We get these homes in a number 

of different ways. We redevelop 

properties we already own, we 

buy land, and we partner with 

developers to build new pockets 

of public housing across the city. 

In some situations, we also buy 

completed homes from developers 

to use for public housing. 

When state houses were first 

built in Christchurch they were 

often on big sections. In recent 

years, we’ve started to demolish 

some of those old homes so we 

can build new warm, dry homes 

on smaller sections, more suited 

to our customers’ needs. This allows 

us to make better use of the 

a pass identifying them as such 

for their normal bus route, as I 

believe they subsidise their buses 

through rates to Environment 

Canterbury and should have 

land and provide more housing. 

We are also buying land and 

working with build partners to 

deliver new public housing. For 

example, at 376 Halswell Junction 

Rd we have recently bought 

land and are now working with a 

developer to build 17 homes. 

Most new housing developments, 

whether initiated by us 

or a private developer, need to 

go through a resource consent 

process run by the local council. 

That process takes into account 

factors such as whether there 

is enough infrastructure and 

services to support the proposed 

new development and how it 

aligns with the District Plan. 

It is the local council that 

decides whether there is a need 

for the public to be notified of 

priority. Why should the cruise 

ship passengers not only travel at 

the same price as the locals, but 

consider they are more entitled 

to fill the bus before the regular

the consent application. If a local 

council approves a non-notified 

resource consent for a new housing 

development, we have no 

additional obligation to engage 

or consult with the community 

under the RMA, even if the 

development is going to be used 

for public housing. 

Having said that we do generally 

engage with the community 

because we understand that people 

want to know what’s happening 

in their neighbourhood. How 

and when we engage will vary 

from case to case. 

We hope by sharing information 

about our developments, 

people will understand the pressing 

need for more public housing 

and see we are building good 

quality housing. We hope too

Chlorination 

Christchurch now has 

disgusting tasting water 

courtesy of our Labour 

Government. It would be good if 

a legal firm would do a service to 

Christchurch residents and take 

they will be welcoming of our 

customers moving in. 

Most of the people who live 

in our homes are ordinary New 

Zealanders who value the chance 

to get on with their lives. They 

make great neighbours and they 

contribute – in big and small 

ways – to their communities. 

Typically, the places in 

Christchurch where we are seeking 

to buy or develop new homes 

are in areas close to schools, 

public transport links, shops and 

other services that our customers 

need easy access to. 

Nearly 40 per cent of the 

people living in our homes are 

children. For them, a Kāinga 

Ora home means they are not 

moving from one property and 

school to another. Research 

shows that having a stable 

home has a significant impact 

on education outcomes and a 

flow-on effect on employment 

in the long-term. Stable housing 

also helps improve physical and 

mental well-being. 

The reality is a Kāinga Ora 

home can have a lifelong impact 

that spans generations. 

In Christchurch, there are 

too many families and children 

living in unstable living 

conditions. We’re committed to 

delivering new homes as quickly 

as possible to help change that.

Final goodbye for Uni veteran; 

battle for play-offs under way 

The women’s 

premier rugby final 

between University 

and Christchurch 

headlines club sport 

this weekend. Jaime 

Cunningham reports 

RUGBY 

University stalwart Sophie 

Anderson will look to end her 

club rugby career on a high when 

her team searches for their 21st 

women’s premier title against 

Christchurch on Saturday. 

By far the two top teams 

in the competition, they will 

deservedly play-off in metro 

rugby’s first final of the season at 

Christchurch Park. 

It will be the last dance for 

Anderson. She has played more 

than 200 club rugby games, 

including 137 for University 

alone. 

“I started when I was 14 and 

played every season since, so 

I think it’s time for a bit of a 

break,” the hooker said. 

Anderson will continue to be 

involved with the club but says it 

will be “sweet” to end her playing 

career with a win. 

“First and foremost, it’s about 

getting the win for the young 

girls who have never played in a 

final before,” she said. 

Christchurch and University 

have already clashed twice this 

season, with each team winning 

one apiece. University came out 

on top 34-24 when they played 

last month. 

University have been in hot 

form since some narrow wins last 

month. 

They go into the final on the 

back of a 60-0 and 53-0 win 

and look poised to win the title. 

Christchurch won the 2021 and 

2022 titles but will be without 

Black Ferns Lucy Jenkins, 

Phillipa Love, Amy du Plessis 

and Rosie Kelly this time around. 

“Things have started clicking 

for us at the right time,” 

Anderson said. 

As the men’s premier 

competition heads into the last 

two round robin games, HSOB 

have come into form. 

They beat Belfast at Sheldon 

Park last weekend 24-6. 

HSOB are now on a threegame 

streak and take on secondplaced 

Lincoln University in 

round 10. Lincoln will want to 

secure a top four spot in their 

game against Sydenham after a 

50-29 win over Shirley. 

Shirley now play for their playoff 

hopes against University after 

the loss to Lincoln. University 

narrowly avoided a surprise loss 

to Burnside but managed to 

hold on to the DCL Shield with 

a 33-28 win. Burnside take on 

Sydenham, with both looking

to edge into the top eight with 

maximum points. Sydenham 

went down to Linwood over the 

weekend 29-12. Linwood could 

also secure a play-off spot with a 

large win over Belfast.

to get back to winning ways

Ahead of their game against 

Lincoln University A, Technical 

A stomped out a surprise win 

in the opening game of the 

championship round. Technical 

played a promotion-relegation 

game last week to stay in the 

grade, cruising to a 54-23 victory 

over Lincoln University B on 

Tuesday. Lincoln University B 

were out of sorts following a 

stellar first round where they

FOOTBALL 

Ferrymead Bays will be hungry 

for a win heading into their 

Southern League clash against 

Nomads after the team came 

painstakingly close to pulling off 

the upset of the season in round 3 

of the Chatham Cup. 

Although Christchurch United 

progressed to the round of 16 

with an extra-time 1-0 win over 

Bays, the fact the game was 

0-0 by the 90th minute was a 

surprise in itself. United captain 

Matt Tod-Smith sealed the messy 

game in the 96th minute. A total 

of 12 cards were dished out, with 

three reds in extra time. 

United host Coastal Spirit in 

the Southern League. Coastal 

have been on the rise as of late, 

while Bays will be favourites to 

notch up their fifth win over Nomads. 

Cashmere Technical play 

Nelson Suburbs again on Saturday 

after beating them 1-0 in the 

third round of the Chatham Cup 

last week. A late goal by Garbhan 

Coughlan saw Technical progress 

to the next round. 

Selwyn United travel to 

Dunedin to play Dunedin City 

Royals, while FC Twenty 11 host 

Green Island on Saturday. 

RUGBY LEAGUE 

All six teams descend on Ngā 

Puna Wai on Saturday in round 

12 of the Masetti Cup. Hornby 

and Linwood continue to lead 

the competition. The Keas are 

favoured to beat the struggling 

Northern Bulldogs who have won 

just one game this season. 

The Bulldogs first half against 

the Riccarton Knights was 

promising at the weekend 

The Bulldogs led 6-0 after the 

first period. But they were unable 

to capitilise on the lead, losing 

24-6. 

Both the Keas and Panthers 

had wins with similar scorelines. 

Linwood’s dominant first half 

kept them in the game against 

the Eastern Eagles, which they 

won 26-12. 

Hornby held on to a first 

half lead against the Halswell 

Hornets to win 26-10. The 

Hornets are expected to record 

their seventh win of the season 

against the Knights, while the 

Panthers take on the fourthplaced 

Eagles. 

HOCKEY 

Although well beaten 

at the weekend, Southern’s 

women’s team have plenty to 

take into their Challenge 

Shield match against Carlton 

Redcliffs after their first goal of 

the season. 

Southern have struggled in the 

premier league and only found 

the back of the net for the first 

time in their 6-1 loss to Marist in 

the heritage round. 

Although it was another 

loss, Riley Chandler’s field goal 

for Southern will boost their 

confidence for the five remaining 

round robin games. 

Southern play shield-holders 

Carlton on Saturday, who 

recorded a clinical 5-0 win over 

Avon. Avon are looking for their 

second win of the season against 

Hornby. 

Hornby come off a narrow 

1-0 loss to Harewood in round 

8. Harewood have a bye this 

weekend. 

HSOB/Burnside will look to 

hand Marist their first loss of the 

season. 

In the men’s competition, 

University went down 6-3 in 

another high-scoring game 

against HSOB/Burnside. 

University are yet to record a 

win in the competition but look 

to be edging closer after two 

competitive games in the last 

rounds. 

University take on Harewood 

on Saturday, who suffered a 2-1 

loss to Hornby in round 8. Fifthplaced 

Hornby play sixth-placed 

Avon in what is expected to be a 

tight clash. 

HSOB/Burnside are hungry for 

a win over Marist after they went 

down to them 4-3 in round 2. 

Meanwhile, Carlton will look to 

hold on to the Challenge Shield 

against Southern.

PUBLIC NOTICE 

GREATER CHRISTCHURCH SPATIAL 

PLAN NOTICE OF DRAFT FOR PUBLIC CONSULTATION 

The Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti has released a draft Greater Christchurch Spatial Plan. 

Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti 

In 2022, the Greater Christchurch Partnership and the Crown established an Urban 

Growth Partnership for Greater Christchurch – the Whakawhanake Kāinga Komiti. 

The partnership includes Local Government: Environment Canterbury, Christchurch 

City Council, Selwyn District Council, Waimakariri District Council; Mana Whenua; 

and Central Government: Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency, Te Whatu Ora - Health 

New Zealand, Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga - Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, 

Kāinga Ora, Te Tari Taiwhenua - Department of Internal Affairs. 

The draft spatial plan proposes how Greater Christchurch can cater for future projected 

population and business growth as well as future-proof our urban areas over the next 

thirty years. The draft spatial plan seeks to create a sustainable and well-functioning 

urban environment through decarbonising the transport system, increasing resilience to 

natural hazards and the effects of climate change, accelerating the provision of quality, 

affordable housing, and improving access to employment, education and services. 

The draft spatial plan builds on the extensive work already done to consider the future 

of Greater Christchurch including the Greater Christchurch Urban Development Strategy 

and Our Space 2018-2048 Greater Christchurch Settlement Pattern Update. The draft 

spatial plan is a high-level strategic document that gives effect to national policy 

direction and responds to the priorities of mana whenua and the aspirations of the 

community. The draft spatial plan will satisfy the requirement to produce a future 

development strategy, outlined in the National Policy Statement on Urban 

Development 2020.
