Residents<br />

against plan<br />

change for<br />

Hornby,<br />

Riccarton<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

‘RIDICULOUS’ is the<br />

overwhelming response from<br />

many residents to the city<br />

council’s proposed increase of<br />

building height restrictions from<br />

six storeys to 10.<br />

<strong>Western</strong> <strong>News</strong> canvassed residents<br />

from the Hornby and Riccarton<br />

areas to get their thoughts,<br />

after city council head of planning<br />

and consents John Higgins said<br />

these areas had been identified as<br />

large town centres as part of the<br />

PC14 plans.<br />

“Council officers have recommended<br />

that the commercial<br />

building height for all of these<br />

areas is increased to 32m in the<br />

commercial zone, where 22m<br />

was proposed in the notified plan<br />

change,” he said.<br />

Higgins said officers have<br />

recommended the high-density<br />

residential extent around all areas<br />

is increased to 800m, where 600m<br />

was proposed. Also, that building<br />

height is increased by 2m to 22m<br />

in the residential zone.<br />

He said the city council can<br />

only make recommendations to<br />

the independent hearings panel,<br />

which will hold a hearing on<br />

October 9.<br />

Hornby resident David Trent<br />

said he does not like it and that it<br />

will change everything.<br />

“It looks crazy, doesn’t it. It’s a<br />

crazy idea. They can build in the<br />

city and further out,” he said.<br />

Survey shines a light on<br />

youth’s varied concerns<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

ISSUES AROUND school,<br />

mental health, trust, emotional<br />

struggles, and growing up are<br />

some of the things concerning<br />

youth in the Hornby area.<br />

These issues have been revealed<br />

through a survey being<br />

conducted by Te Whare Awhero:<br />

Hope House, which will close on<br />

September 6.<br />

It had received 232 responses<br />

by midday on Tuesday.<br />

Director Carey<br />

Ewing said many<br />

community<br />

groups and<br />

organisations have<br />

been supportive<br />

of the survey, and<br />

Carey<br />

Ewing<br />

there has also<br />

been interest from<br />

the city council.<br />

“We will<br />

analyse the content before<br />

compiling it into a report, which<br />

will be available on our website.<br />

“I’m hopeful it will provide<br />

information to inform and have<br />

the opportunity to create further<br />

ways to engage with our youth.”<br />

Ewing said the survey<br />

came about after he and a few<br />

others attended the Greater<br />

WHAT MATTERS: A survey by Te Whare Awhero: Hope<br />

House highlights the concerns of youth in the Hornby area.<br />

PHOTO: GETTY<br />

Hornby Residents Association<br />

community meeting in June<br />

where concerns were raised<br />

about offending youth.<br />

“There was a great deal of<br />

concern around youth and<br />

how they are travelling, and<br />

them engaging in antisocial<br />

behaviours,” he said.<br />

Ewing said they decided to<br />

put out the survey to try to gain<br />

insight into what matters to<br />

youth in the area.<br />

“It is really important; we<br />

need to be hearing from them.<br />

It is really insightful to hear<br />

from our youth and what it is<br />

like growing up in this world,<br />

because it is completely different<br />

to the world I grew up in.”<br />

He said youth have had to deal<br />

with the prominence of social<br />

media, Covid, the earthquakes<br />

and the teacher strikes.<br />

“I think a bit of slack needs to<br />

be cut because it is a different<br />

world. It’s adults who make<br />

major decisions that impact our<br />

youth that allow them to thrive<br />

or not.<br />

“Adults control the education<br />

system, the justice system, the<br />

sale of alcohol and vapes. As<br />

adults we need to take a bit of<br />

ownership and accountability.”<br />

Ewing said the original<br />

response target was between<br />

250-300 to get a good range,<br />

but they are now aiming for<br />

more than 300 due to the<br />

number of responses they have<br />

had already.<br />

“We just wanted an exercise<br />

where youth could tell us what<br />

allows them to thrive, their<br />

concerns, their worries, if they<br />

have adults they trust to go to if<br />

things aren’t so great,” he said.<br />

Student council<br />

making change<br />

• By Briar Allen<br />

A STUDENT council made<br />

up of pupils from the Halswell<br />

area has been working hard to<br />

identify and deliver community<br />

initiatives that are important to<br />

them.<br />

Recently the Hurutini Student<br />

Council developed and delivered<br />

the road safety campaign ‘drive<br />

safely for our safety,’ which<br />

focused on promoting positive<br />

driver behaviour.<br />

City council<br />

head of<br />

community<br />

support and<br />

partnerships John<br />

Filsell said the<br />

pupils crafted the<br />

call for safety and<br />

John Filsell<br />

wrote, produced<br />

and starred in a<br />

road safety video highlighting<br />

the road safety issues pupils face<br />

near schools.<br />

“They wrote key messages<br />

and created storyboards.<br />

Bumper stickers were made and<br />

have been handed out to each<br />

school community sharing the<br />

message,” he said.<br />

Filsell said the council<br />

members have been handing<br />

these out to caregivers before and<br />

after school to bring awareness<br />

to the campaign and promote<br />

positive driver behaviour.<br />

“The purpose of the council<br />

is to provide an opportunity for<br />

young people from the primary<br />

schools in Halswell to learn<br />

about and participate in civic<br />

matters and processes as well<br />

as provide a channel for which<br />

young people can use to bring<br />

issues to the community board<br />

and the city council that are<br />

important to them.”<br />

The council was started in<br />

2019 by former Halswell<br />

Ward city councillor Anne<br />

Galloway and Halswell schools<br />

to better connect young people<br />

WORKSHOP:<br />

Pupils part of the<br />

Hurutini student<br />

council attend a<br />

workshop with<br />

Halswell Ward city<br />

councillor Andrei<br />

Moore.<br />

of the area.<br />

There are six schools involved<br />

which are Aidanfield Christian<br />

School, Halswell Primary<br />

School, Knights Stream School,<br />

Oaklands School, Wigram<br />

Primary School, and Seven Oaks<br />

School, each represented by two<br />

to three pupils from years 6-8.<br />

Filsell said the council is<br />

supported by Halswell Ward<br />

city councillor Andrei Moore<br />

who attends the meetings and<br />

supports the initiatives of the<br />

students.<br />

“The group meets twice<br />

each school term to discuss<br />

community projects and<br />

initiatives and are currently<br />

working on holding a youth<br />

event in term four.”<br />

Proposed increase<br />

from six to 10<br />

storeys ‘blindsiding’<br />

• From page 1<br />

Tour coach operator Mark<br />

White said he thinks 10 storeys<br />

is too much and will create a<br />

completely different dynamic.<br />

“It will lead to more congestion<br />

on the streets, and parking on<br />

the streets. It will become<br />

the slums of the future.”<br />

Sales representative Jason<br />

Tombleson wondered<br />

if it was needed.<br />

“I guess if there were<br />

areas where it was<br />

designated for it, it would<br />

be fine. People don’t want<br />

to see eyesores. Some<br />

residential areas have already<br />

been ruined by cheap housing.”<br />

Hornby Ward city councillor<br />

Mark Peters said he was just as<br />

shocked as residents to learn<br />

about the new proposal.<br />

“There was no inkling at all<br />

there would be an increase to the<br />

height making it 10, especially as<br />

residents were up in arms about<br />

six,” he said.<br />

Peters said he felt a little<br />

blindsided and recommended<br />

residents get behind the Greater<br />

Hornby Residents Association<br />

to build its case for the hearings<br />

panel.<br />

“I certainly hope that the<br />

panel listens, but it is out of our<br />

Mark Peters<br />

control. We just want what is<br />

best for our city and best for our<br />

suburbs.”<br />

Association chair Kim Moss<br />

said they were considering<br />

starting a petition.<br />

“We are not happy and yes,<br />

it is blindsiding. You<br />

don’t expect from the<br />

consultation the complete<br />

opposite of what people<br />

have been saying. This is<br />

next level.<br />

“Hornby will become<br />

an area where people<br />

will not want to live. It is<br />

ridiculous. We need to get<br />

the area up to scratch for those<br />

who live here now before we<br />

develop it further.”<br />

Said Riccarton Bush<br />

– Kilmarnock Residents<br />

Association chair Tony Simons:<br />

“This so-called compensatory<br />

approach is arbitrary, late and<br />

totally unexpected.”<br />

Simons said if there were<br />

to be any late changes of this<br />

significance, one would expect<br />

residents would be given time<br />

and opportunity to submit.<br />

“This is a plan change no one<br />

anticipated, and we think due<br />

process should see it properly<br />

notified with all parties given the<br />

opportunity to object.”<br />

Keeping clocks<br />

and watches in<br />

perfect time<br />

While digital timekeeping has become<br />

more widely used in modern society, it<br />

seems many people still have a traditional<br />

grandfather clock in their home, as Geoff<br />

of Ilam Watchmakers is finding.<br />

Increasingly over recent months he<br />

has been called out to repair these stately<br />

timepieces. For small repairs, he says, the<br />

job can be done on-site, and for more<br />

complicated repair work, the clocks are<br />

taken to the workshop.<br />

Geoff and his wife Michelle have owned<br />

and operated the Waimairi Road business<br />

for 22 years, offering not only clock<br />

and watch repairs but also an extensive<br />

selection of new watches and clocks for<br />

sale. Staff in the busy workshop range from<br />

technicians to fully qualified watchmakers,<br />

while the admin staff keep things ticking<br />

over efficiently.<br />

As summer approaches Geoff says it is<br />

important for people who wear their watch<br />

in the water to have it pressure tested,<br />

and the gaskets replaced if necessary.<br />

On the retail side, the new range of<br />

watches for summer has been arriving at<br />

Ilam Watchmakers, and includes stylish<br />

designs from well-known brands like<br />

Citizen, Ice, Lorus, Casio and Boccia.<br />

For those who prefer a more nostalgic<br />

style of watch, there is also a good<br />

selection of refurbished watches,<br />

including pocket watches. Alternatively,<br />

customers can enquire about trading in<br />

their old watch on a new model.<br />

Hip hop dancer off to<br />

world championships<br />

A ROLE in his primary school production<br />

led to a passion for dance for Ilam teenager<br />

Josh Bautista – and he has now qualified for<br />

the Hip Hop Unite World Championships.<br />

Josh, 16, was signed up for hip hop lessons<br />

by his brother after the school production.<br />

It has led to him winning gold medals with<br />

the A1 dance crew and his duo TakTik at the<br />

Hip Hop Unite New Zealand Championships<br />

in Wellington.<br />

Josh said it was unreal to qualify for the<br />

world championships, which are being held<br />

in Portugal in October.<br />

“The studio I am dancing at currently, Ace<br />

Dance Studios, is only in its second year. It is<br />

also crazy how I and 20 other dancers were<br />

chosen to represent New Zealand.”<br />

Josh said it has been a great challenge<br />

managing his time as he practises, works<br />

part time at Taco Bell and attends St Thomas<br />

of Canterbury College.<br />

He said he joined dance as a hobby and<br />

now it is taking him to places he never<br />

thought he would go, especially at a young<br />

age.<br />

He also said sometimes guys like him in<br />

hip-hop still get criticised.<br />

“That is due to old-school ideas about<br />

gender roles. Even though they have added<br />

a ton to the scene, male dancers sometimes<br />

get side-eyed. I personally think dance can<br />

be for anyone as there are even styles that<br />

compliment masculinity.”<br />

Josh is fundraising to get to the world<br />

championships. TakTik will be performing<br />

at the Riccarton Sunday market and will<br />

have a table selling ice-cream and brownies.<br />

KIND DONATION: Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary president<br />

Rod Finch (left) hands over the keys to Dementia Canterbury<br />

chief executive officer Darral Campbell. ​<br />

Donation for<br />

dementia<br />

DEMENTIA Canterbury<br />

has a new car courtesy of the<br />

Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary Club.<br />

Club president Rod Finch said<br />

due to the amazing support the<br />

club receives from the public<br />

they were able to donate a Suzuki<br />

Baleno.<br />

“The support from the public<br />

when we run our annual<br />

Bookarama has meant we have<br />

been able to undertake a number<br />

of meaningful community<br />

projects, such as providing this<br />

much needed vehicle for Dementia<br />

Canterbury,” he said.<br />

Dementia Canterbury provides<br />

services that include home visits<br />

for assessment and support, cognitive<br />

stimulation, activity and<br />

support groups, community cafes<br />

and education to a diverse range<br />

of groups.<br />

Dementia Canterbury chief<br />

executive officer Darral Campbell<br />

said the new car will be used by<br />

staff to help them reach out to the<br />

community.<br />

“We are very grateful for this<br />

generous donation from the<br />

Bishopdale-Burnside Rotary.<br />

Club. The new vehicle will be<br />

used by our staff when they<br />

deliver a range of services in<br />

Christchurch and the wider<br />

Canterbury region.”<br />

ZR-V a premium passenger experience<br />

HONDA IS looking to take the<br />

sales fight to its many mid-sized<br />

urban SUV rivals with its new<br />

ZR-V, one of the most complete all<br />

round models we’ve seen from the<br />

company in ages, in this part of the<br />

world.<br />

In essence, it’s an SUV spinoff<br />

of the thoroughly competent<br />

Honda Civic. With that quality<br />

DNA underpinning it, the ZR-V<br />

is much more capable than your<br />

typical urban SUV. It replaces<br />

the popular HRV that ended its<br />

successful run on our market 18<br />

months ago. With no suitable<br />

replacement available out of Japan<br />

until 2025, Honda here decided to<br />

whistle up the ZR-V as an interim<br />

replacement. It is sold in North<br />

America, as a larger version of the<br />

HRV and does exceptionally well<br />

in one of the world’s toughest new<br />

car markets.<br />

www.drivesouth.co.nz<br />

Motoring with Bob Nettleton<br />

For Honda, the ZR-V delivers<br />

the company’s next-level hybrid<br />

electrification technology. The<br />

ZR-V Sport, uses a new 2.0L<br />

e:HEV direct injection petrol<br />

engine with two electric motors<br />

for a collective power output of<br />

135kW and <strong>31</strong>5Nm of torque.<br />

If that doesn’t take your interest<br />

there’s the option of a 1.5L direct<br />

injection turbo that has been a<br />

staple of the Honda range for 8<br />

years.<br />

The hybrid power train is<br />

exclusive to the flagship $55,000<br />

ZR-V Sport, but not the with<br />

$47,000 turbo provided for this<br />

road test. It’s the same price as the<br />

Civic sedan but more appealing<br />

being larger, offering on-trend<br />

SUV styling, and more versatility<br />

and practicality.<br />

Punting the test vehicle<br />

along with plenty of intent is an<br />

Incorporating<br />

best motorbuys<br />

upgraded version of Honda’s<br />

stalwart 1.5 turbo engine. It’s good<br />

for 1<strong>31</strong>kW of power and 240Nm<br />

of torque, both decent enough<br />

numbers for an engine of this<br />

size. Torque comes into play from<br />

just 1700rpm, although it’s more<br />

about work than play as it unearths<br />

plenty of low-speed pulling power.<br />

In real world driving the motor<br />

is flexible with good throttle<br />

response. It’s quieter in the higher<br />

rev range, to the point where you<br />

aren’t looking to turn up the sound<br />

system to counter engine noise. A<br />

much-improved constant variable<br />

transmission is shared with the<br />

Honda Civic and features normal<br />

and eco driving modes and a<br />

user-selectable sport mode. It’s a<br />

transmission that rarely puts a foot<br />

wrong and feels a good match to<br />

this feisty compact turbo engine.<br />

A generously proportioned cabin<br />

and an equally commodious rear<br />

cargo hatch is among the best in<br />

the compact urban SUV class. A<br />

60-40 split rear seat quickly folds<br />

down for more load space. Quality<br />

is one of the lasting impressions<br />

of the passenger compartment,<br />

CAR CITY<br />

EST 1973<br />

and you can only admire the<br />

methodical way Honda have gone<br />

about achieving this. Much of this<br />

is down to the generous use of<br />

quality materials throughout the<br />

cabin, especially on touch points.<br />

Plenty of effort has also gone into<br />

providing a premium look and feel<br />

to the switchgear and controls.<br />

ZR-V Sport and Turbo are<br />

the first models to feature new<br />

Honda Connect emergency<br />

services. This alerts these services<br />

if it detects the vehicle’s airbags<br />

have been activated. An excellent<br />

new single-camera system offers<br />

better visibility. Combined with<br />

software advances and a new, more<br />

powerful processor, the system<br />

is capable of more quickly and<br />

accurately spotting hazards, along<br />

with road lines and signs.<br />

Well-sorted suspension and<br />

steering are the cornerstones<br />

of an agile and nicely balanced<br />

urban SUV that’s right at ease<br />

and taking charge on our roads,<br />

with often-tricky weather and<br />

driving conditions. The suspension<br />

reacts decisively and is a calming<br />

influence in steadying the car<br />

in response to sudden and<br />

unexpected changes in the road<br />

surface. In around-town driving<br />

the ride may be a bit firm for some.<br />

I didn’t mind it at all and liked<br />

the way it gives the test vehicle a<br />

sportier character than most of its<br />

Japanese and Korean competitor.<br />

However, it’s still shaded by the<br />

more accomplished European<br />

offerings in this market segment.<br />
