Neighbours plead for action 

over location of scrap yard 

• By Phoebe Utteridge 

PEOPLE LIVING next to a 

Woolston scrap metal yard 

piled high with wrecked cars 

have renewed their calls for 

the company to relocate as the 

regional council considers a 

resource consent application. 

The National Steel yard on 

Garlands Rd was the site of 

a major blaze two years ago, 

when hundreds of old cars 

were engulfed in flames in a 

suspected arson. 

Environment Canterbury 

investigated the site in 2021 after 

receiving complaints from the 

public. 

The investigation found 

contaminated stormwater was 

running from the site and could 

enter the Ōpāwaho Heathcote 

River, in breach of the Resource 

Management Act, so ECan 

issued an abatement notice 

ordering the company to apply 

for resource consent. 

National Steel filed its 

application last November, 

although ECan was yet to decide 

if it would be publicly notified 

because it was waiting for more 

information from the company. 

Neighbour Phil Campbell 

said he was concerned about 

industrial run-off from the scrap 

yard getting into the river, which 

would be at odds with council 

efforts to improve water quality. 

“There will be oil and petrol 

residue in the cars being 

crushed, and they’re piled right 

next to the river,” he said. 

HAZARD: National Steel’s 

neighbours in Woolston, 

like Phil Campbell, say 

allowing a scrap metal yard 

to operate next to houses is 

bad planning – but the yard 

is in an industrial zone.

UTTERIDGE 

Campbell said he felt 

vibrations and heard the rumble 

of diggers and cars being 

crushed, often from early in the 

morning until late at night, from 

his family home just across the 

road. 

“I hear it while I’m reading 

to the kids at night. It feels like 

heavy industrial activity right 

next to a residential area. I’m 

sure there’s a better place for it,” 

he said. 

While Campbell supported 

businesses that recycled cars 

and scrap metal, he said he 

had reported concerns about 

National Steel to the city council 

and wanted public consultation 

on the resource consent 

application. 

“We have to be part of that 

process,” he said. 

Annette Kaldor, who has lived 

opposite National Steel for three 

years, said she could not sleep on 

the night of the fire and had her 

car packed ready to leave. 

“It was very scary. I could see 

big blasts going up and I felt the 

heat from my driveway,” she 

said. 

Kaldor said she also wanted 

the scrap yard moved and 

neighbours should be able to 

have their say. 

“Smells of rusty metal waft 

into my house, there could 

be another fire, and it looks 

terrible,” she said. 

“We should be consulted. 

Especially after the fire, and with 

the type of business it is.” 

National Steel’s business 

on Garlands Rd was legally 

permitted because it was within 

an industrial zone.

Stagnant market, other projects 

behind apartment build delays 

• By Jenn Loh 

MARKET conditions and other 

projects will determine when 

work starts on the Fletcher 

Living apartments on the old 

Four Square site in Redcliffs. 

A start date is still up in the 

air, with high mortgage interest 

rates and cost of living pressures 

contributing to the current 

stagnation of the city’s real estate 

market. 

When the resource consent 

was being worked through, 

Fletcher Living started new 

projects in Halswell and Lincoln 

which has also delayed the start 

of the Redcliffs apartment build. 

“The consenting process took 

longer than initially anticipated 

as we were required to go 

through a consultation and 

hearing panel review process,” a 

Fletcher Living spokesman said. 

“We are currently evaluating 

market conditions with respect 

to a possible start date. Market 

conditions and other projects 

will determine when work 

starts on the Fletcher Living 

apartments on the old Four 

Square site in Redcliffs.” 

Architectural plans for 

the residence remain largely 

unchanged from the original 

proposal. 

The first and second floors of 

the former supermarket will be 

dismantled to build apartments. 

The ground floor car park will be 

retained, with space provided for 

a commercial retail or food unit 

on the Augusta St corner. 

Fletcher Living will be 

updating Redcliffs residents at a 

public meeting on August 5. The 

meeting will also canvass other 

matters in the area including the 

ongoing development of Barnett 

Park, the effect of rising sea 

levels on the area’s infrastructure 

and its potential implications for 

Cynthia 

Roberts 

Jane 

Morgan 

insurance premiums. 

Redcliffs resident and ecologist 

Dr Cynthia Roberts will give 

a presentation on predator 

control and the variety of rare 

and threatened plant species in 

Barnett Park. 

FUTURE: An

drawing of the 

new building

Residential 

resource consent 

application to the 

city council. 

She will also offer insight on 

the extensive work volunteers 

have been doing to collect and 

propagate seeds from natives for 

planting. 

City council team leader 

of coastal adaptation, Jane 

Morgan, will speak about the 

city council’s rising sea level 

management plan. 

The residents’ association has 

also asked insurance companies 

to speak about rising sea levels 

and the water table and what 

implications that could have on 

the insurability of properties in 

low-lying areas. 

Said committee member 

Martin Ward: “The Redcliffs 

village is within a city council 

flood management area, 

with a large overlap with the 

liquefaction management area 

as well. That’s double the 

concerns. 

“We’d like to know how the 

insurance companies respond to 

that when setting the premiums.” 

Ward said the event is an 

excellent opportunity for the 

association to get feedback from 

residents on ongoing projects 

and concerns. It would also help 

with community bonding. 

“At the end of the day it’s about 

community building. A big part 

of what we do as an association is 

bringing people together.” 

In addition to the various 

presentations, there will also be 

expo-style meet and greet stands 

for organisations including 

the Redcliffs Tennis Club, Mt 

Pleasant Pottery Group and the 

Christchurch Yacht Club. Drinks 

and snacks will be available from 

a cash bar.

The Love of My Afterlife By Kirsty Greenwood 

A hilarious and heartwarming story about finding love where you least expect it. If 

she wasn’t dead already, Delphie would be dying of embarrassment. She’s entered 

the afterlife wearing the sort of pyjamas you don’t want anyone to see and finds 

herself face-to-face with the most handsome man she’s ever encountered. And he’s 

smiling at her. As they start to chat, everything else becomes background noise - until 

someone comes running out of a door, yelling something about a huge mistake, and 

sends the dreamy stranger back down to earth. In a twist of fate, Delphie is offered 

a deal in which she can return to her previous life and reconnect with the mysterious 

man she’s sure is her soulmate. The challenge? She only has 10 days to find him & 

make him fall for her. Oh, and he has no recollection of them ever having met...

No plans for zoning change – council 

• From page 1 

The company had applied to 

release treated stormwater into 

the river, which required consent 

because the site was contaminated, 

and within a community drinking 

water protection zone. 

National Steel general manager 

Brett Howlett said he did not 

understand why neighbours had 

not approached the business about 

their concerns. 

He said publicly notifying the 

consents would only draw out 

what had been a very lengthy 

and expensive 

process. 

National Steel 

had worked 

with councils to 

address concerns, 

there was no 

smell coming 

from the yard and 

the company was 

being blamed for 

offensive odours 

Brett 

Howlett 

coming from other businesses, 

Howlett said. 

He said the 2022 fire was caused 

by arsonists and the company had 

taken steps to mitigate fire risk 

and improve the appearance of the 

yard. 

ECan consent planning 

manager Aurora Grant said 

the application would only be 

publicly notified if the effects on 

the environment were “more than 

minor”. 

Public interest was not one of

the criteria for publicly notifying a 

resource consent application. 

ECan said there was currently 

no run-off from the scrap yard to 

the road, stormwater network or 

the Heathcote River. 

The city council had received 

eight official complaints about 

the yard since it opened in 2018, 

including reports of excessive 

noise, rubbish and concerns about 

oil and petrol run-off into the 

nearby river. 

Following the 2022 fire, the 

council said investigations into 

complaints about the yard had 

not revealed any breaches of 

regulations, although it had 

programmed a district plan 

review of industrial and residential 

zoning. 

A council spokesperson said 

none of the complaints received 

since then had amounted to any 

breaches. 

The council currently had 

no plans to change Woolston’s 

zoning, but staff would provide 

advice about managing the 

“interface” between industrial and 

residential zones, they said. 

Linwood Ward councillor Yani 

Johanson said the regional council 

should publicly notify the consent. 

“It would seem inherently unfair 

if the community did not get a 

say.” 

He said current planning rules 

were inadequate. 

“The fact that a massive 

dumping yard for scrap metal and 

cars can be established adjacent 

to a residential neighbourhood 

without any resource consent 

required highlights a gap in the 

city’s district plan,” he said. 

Ōpāwaho Heathcote River 

Network chair Quentin McDonald 

said it was unfortunate potentially 

polluting industrial activity was 

still allowed near the river, but the 

group understood the difficulty of 

changing zoning rules. 

He said consequences of 

unexpected events like fires should 

be evaluated when consents 

were granted to businesses near 

ecologically-sensitive areas. 

“The Ōpāwaho Heathcote River 

is unfortunately already one of the 

most polluted 

urban rivers in 

New Zealand and 

needs protection,” 

he said. 

Banks 

Peninsula MP 

Vanessa Weenink 

Yani 

Johanson 

said she met 

with Ōpāwaho 

Heathcote 

River Network 

members, local residents, and 

councillor Yani Johanson earlier 

this year to discuss their concerns. 

“[The issue] was very much 

highlighted by the fires and the site 

is a real eyesore,” she said. 

Howlett said Johanson and 

Weenink’s comments were 

“unprofessional and unjust”, 

because the company’s industrial 

activity was permitted and the 

fire was “totally beyond National 

Steel’s control”.

Bath house 

last part of 

Mona Vale 

restoration 

THE FINAL earthquakerelated 

project at Mona Vale 

is set to start, with repairs and 

strengthening work on the bath 

house about to get under way. 

Contractor Armitage Williams 

will be on site from next 

week. Work is expected to be 

completed by summer. 

The bath house, which uses 

crafted timber framing and 

glazing bars, rather than steel 

framing, was closed to the public 

after the earthquakes. 

Due to budget constraints 

the work was to be deferred to 

2029, however the Friends of the 

Christchurch Botanic Gardens 

began a fundraising campaign 

last year to help with repair costs 

amid fears the building would 

suffer further deterioration. 

“We are thrilled that our 

fundraising efforts have allowed 

this restoration to be brought 

forward. Many Cantabrians supported 

our campaign which began 

with an Edwardian Garden 

Party very fitting for this beautiful 

garden and homestead,” 

said Mona Vale sub-committee 

convener Jeanette Christensen. 

The Waimāero Fendalton- 

Waimairi-Harewood Community 

Board has also been 

instrumental in helping fund the 

restoration. 

“It’s been a true community 

effort to get to this point and 

is a testament to what can be 

achieved when we all work together 

towards a common goal,” 

said community board chair 

Jason Middlemass. 

“To have this lovely building 

play its part in the fabric of 

Christchurch life again, and to 

have all the structures at Mona 

Vale restored to their original 

glory, is wonderful.” 

Botanic Gardens and Garden 

Parks acting director Nicky 

Brown said getting under way 

with the work was an important 

milestone. 

“Once complete, all of Mona 

Vale will be open for the whole 

community to enjoy for years 

to come. We cannot say thank 

you enough to the Friends of the 

Gardens and the community 

board for their support.” 

The bath house will be used for 

small events and will house 

a semi-tropical collection of 

plants. 

Originally designed to 

replicate an Edwardian 

conservatory, it once held an 

indoor swimming pool as well as 

a rare collection of sub-tropical 

plants imported by wealthy 

heiress Annie Townend. 

A keen gardener, Townend 

bought the property – then 

known as Karewa – for $6000 

pounds in 1905. She changed 

its name to Mona Vale, added 

another nine acres and built the 

two bridges and the gatehouse. 

The bath house was built 

between 1905 and 1914 and

in 1939 by Tracy

to it being finished for everyone 

to enjoy,” Cr Gough said.

would also be pleased to see this

of this important Christchurch

St Margaret’s nets historic double win 

• By Sam Coughlan 

ST MARGARET’S College has 

made history at the South Island 

secondary schools junior netball 

tournament. 

The school’s year 9 and year 10 

teams won their competitions at 

the event – the first time a school 

had won both in the same year. 

Leanne Chambers, who 

coaches the year 9 team and 

coached the current year 10 team 

last year, said it was a special moment 

for her and the school. 

“It was a pretty awesome 

experience, seeing the hard work 

that they (the year 10s) put in 

with me last year as year 9s, not 

always seeing the results, but seeing 

them learn as netball players. 

For them to come through and 

win a tournament was amazing. 

“And then for my (year 9) team 

to do the same, a very special 

moment for St Margaret’s netball 

and for me personally.” 

The tournament was held last 

week at Ngā Puna Wai. 

The year 10 team’s 36-30 triumph 

over Dunedin’s St Hilda’s 

Collegiate was the first time St 

Margaret’s had won the competition. 

Chambers said it was a huge 

honour for the year 9 team to 

take the title, hailing the improvements 

they had made. 

The final against St Andrew’s 

was a close-fought match with St 

Margaret’s winning 27-22 – a big 

improvement from when they

met STAC in the Saturday competition 

the week before, when 

they lost 38-22. 

“We went from a 16 goal loss 

on the Saturday prior to a win 

at South Island tournament 

over STAC by five goals,” said 

Chambers. 

“So a big turnaround in that 

one week. 

“They took on board all the 

little things that I helped them 

with on where we went wrong on 

that Saturday, and my goodness, 

they looked a different team 

when we played those impressive 

STAC girls in the final.” 

Chambers said the two teams 

were drumming up a rivalry. 

“They definitely are our rivals, 

along with the blue and golds 

from Rangi Ruru around the 

corner as well, it’s always a good 

contest with the independent 

schools within the Merivale 

area. 

“We very much enjoy that 

rivalry and it’ll be interesting 

when we come up against 

them in the Wednesday school 

competition and in our Saturday 

club competition again over the 

next six weeks as we head into 

the end of the season.” 

Christchurch Girls’ High 

School and Rangi Ruru placed 

fourth in the year 9 and year 

10 competitions respectively. 

Girls’ High went down 38-29 to 

Dunedin’s Columba College in 

their third-place playoff, while 

Rangi Ruru lost 40-32 to Central 

Southland College in theirs.

Reassuring and nostalgic winter fare 

Nigel Slater shares 

some warm, rich and 

comforting food to 

nourish and sustain. 

Chicken, lemon and 

artichoke soup 

The stock is crucial here. Give it 

time, letting the broth, aromatics 

and chicken simmer gently for 

almost an hour. It is the heart 

and soul of the soup. 

Ingredients 

Serves 4 

700g Jerusalem artichokes 

3 Tbsp peanut oil 

For the stock: 

1 onion 

800g bone-in chicken thighs 

a handful of chicken wings 

1 lemon 

2 medium carrots 

5 small tufts of thyme 

1 stick of celery 

6 black peppercorns 

4 thick coins of ginger 

To finish: 

2 Jerusalem artichokes 

1 Tbsp peanut oil 

a handful of parsley 

1 lemon 

a few sprigs of thyme 

Method 

• First make the stock. Peel the 

onion, cut it in half and put it 

in a large saucepan or casserole 

dish. Add the chicken pieces and 

wings, carrots, thyme sprigs, the 

stick of celery, snapped in half, 

the peppercorns, ginger and 

thyme. Pour in 2 litres of water 

and bring to the boil. 

• Lower the heat, partially 

cover with a lid and simmer for 

50 minutes, checking the water 

level from time to time. 

• Peel the Jerusalem artichokes, 

then cut them into large chunks. 

In a large pan heat the peanut 

oil, then add the artichokes and 

let them cook for 10-15 minutes, 

until lightly coloured, stirring 

from time to time. Ladle in 1.5 

litres of the chicken stock, bring 

to the boil, then lower the heat 

and simmer for 40 minutes until 

the artichokes are fully tender. 

• Remove the chicken pieces 

from the stock and set aside. 

(You may have some stock 

left over, so carefully strain it 

through a sieve or colander into a 

bowl or large jug and discard the 

aromatics. Cool, then store it in 

the fridge) Remove and discard 

the chicken skin. Pull the meat 

from the bones, then tear or slice 

into strips and set aside. 

• Blend the artichokes and 

stock with a stick blender 

and reduce to a thick, creamy 

textured soup. Stir in the 

shredded chicken. 

• To finish, finely chop the 

parsley and stir in. Check the 

seasoning, adding salt, pepper 

and a squeeze of lemon juice to 

taste. Peel and slice the extra 

artichokes, then fry them in 

the oil in a shallow pan for 7-10 

minutes until tender and golden. 

Add them to the soup and then 

pull the thyme leaves from their 

stems and sprinkle on top. 

Baked potatoes (or 

artichokes) with roast 

garlic and herb cheese 

The cream-cheese filling works 

for both potatoes and artichokes. 

If you are using artichokes, slice 

them in half and use twice the 

amount of olive oil. 

Ingredients 

Serves 4 

1.5kg, small, white fleshed 

potatoes 

3 Tbsp olive oil 

6 plump cloves garlic 

For the filling: 

200g cream cheese 

25g parsley 

1 tsp thyme leaves 

1 clove garlic 

juice of 1 small lemon 

1 tsp green peppercorns in brine 

Method 

• Preheat the oven to 200°C. 

• Wash potatoes (or artichokes) 

and lay them, snugly but not 

touching, in a roasting tin, 

pour over the olive oil and add 

a crumbling of sea salt and 

a grinding of black pepper. 

Toss them around with your 

hands, making sure the tubers 

are lightly coated with oil and 

seasoning. Tuck the garlic cloves, 

whole and unpeeled, among 

them. 

• Bake for about 45 minutes 

or until tender. (It is worth 

continually testing them – the 

exact timing will depend so 

much on the size and variety 

of your potatoes.) When the 

garlic has baked for 30 minutes, 

remove from the tin and allow to 

cool a little. 

• Put the cream cheese in a 

food processor. Pick the leaves 

from the parsley and add to the 

cheese, then add the thyme. 

• Peel the garlic and squeeze 

the soft flesh inside into the 

cheese. Squeeze in the juice of 

the lemon and process for a few 

seconds to a smooth cream, then 

transfer to a small mixing bowl 

and stir in the peppercorns. (If 

you have no processor, chop the 

parsley finely then mix with a 

wooden spoon.) 

• Pile the potatoes on to a 

serving plate, split each down the 

middle and spoon in some of the 

herb filling.

C-HR’s stylish exterior masks some flaws 

WHEN IT ARRIVED here seven 

years ago, the first generation 

Toyota C-HR SUV five-door 

hatch, created plenty of buzz with 

its edgy styling. The latest iteration 

cuts a more mature grown-up 

figure, but retains the visual 

appeal of its predecessor. 

Toyota’s designers have applied 

their collective creativity and flair 

in equal measure to this model. 

A highlight for me is the vehicle’s 

distinct “diamond architecture” – 

a captivating blend of sharp lines 

and smooth curves. 

The model range has increased 

substantially over the vehicle it 

replaces and so have the prices. 

The cost of the outgoing model 

started $41,290 and hit the ceiling 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

at $44,240 for the top spec AWD 

Limited. Pricing for the entry level 

GX being road-tested here is about 

$1700 more than before at $45,990 

for the GX 1.8-litre hybrid. Cycle 

up the range and your next stop is 

the well-appointed GXL retailing 

for $49,990 and another $3k, eases 

you behind the wheel of the plush 

Limited. The performance card in 

the C-HR pack is the $55,990 GR 

Sport with a zippy 2-litre hybrid 

powertrain. 

How does it measure up 

compared to the old model? 

It’s marginally shorter and 

wider with a striking, sporty and 

planted stance on the road. This is 

further embellished by its coupelike 

profile, short overhangs and, 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 7; Handling 7; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 8; Value 

for money 9; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 7.5 

Incorporating 

best motorbuys 

www.drivesouth.co.nz 

depending on the model, 17, 18 or 

19-inch alloy wheels. 

This newest C-HR benefits from 

a significant upgrade of Toyota’s 

proven 1.8–litre hybrid powertrain 

headlined by a decent upward 

power hike from 90kW to 103kW. 

You immediately notice how 

much smoother and more refined 

it feels, except under hard full 

throttle. When accelerating hard, 

it becomes uncharacteristically 

loud and raucous, with all the 

commotion failing to translate 

into the marked increase 

acceleration. 

The extra power and torque 

does its best work during in-town 

driving, where the test vehicle 

coasted for surprisingly long 

periods on flat terrain in EV mode 

at speeds of up to 50km/h. 

The CH-R’s star doesn’t shine 

so brightly on the open road and 

is a bit languid on the short, sharp 

sprints needed to whisk the vehicle 

past slower traffic. 

Engaging the transmission’s 

‘Sport’ mode energises the engine, 

but it is far from the fast and feisty 

performer you would expect in 

such a sporty looking vehicle. 

The continuously variable 

transmission (CVT) automatic 

consistently fronts with seamless 

and responsive gear changes, and 

rarely puts a gear-shifting foot out 

of place. 

Passenger space is a huge 

improvement and comes with a 

decent sized load area behind the 

rear seats. This can be extended 

with a 60:40 split folding rear seat. 

A touch screen audio display 

includes satellite navigation 

with SUNA traffic updates. A 

refreshed Toyota Safety Sense 

system adds motorcycle detection 

to the pre-collision set up as 

well as a driver monitor camera. 

Toyota Teammate (advanced 

park), panoramic view monitor, 

and parking support brake with 

rear-cross traffic auto braking are 

standard across the range. 

Handling through tight and 

testy corners, is even more agile 

and fluent making for a fun and 

engaging drive over undulating 

roads. 

Here the test vehicle showed 

its full range of handling talents 

that give many of its rivals plenty 

to think about. Electric power 

steering is all precision and 

accuracy, and nicely weighted, 

although blighted a tad by some 

steering kickback over badly 

corrugated road surfaces. 

Across the board, ride comfort 

has gone a up a good notch or 

two, with the suspension showing 

a greater appetite to soak up the 

rough stuff dished out by our more 

dishevelled roads.
