A NEW shopping centre with<br />

a Mitre 10 Mega and up to 28<br />

other stores has been given the<br />

go-ahead for the city’s north.<br />

The city council has issued<br />

resource consent for the 2.5ha<br />

development on Prestons Rd in<br />

Marshland.<br />

The resource consent application<br />

for the commercial-zoned<br />

land was not publicly notified.<br />

The Mitre 10 Mega will<br />

cover 1.1ha and include a drivethrough<br />

trade area and garden<br />

centre.<br />

The other shops, including<br />

hospitality outlets, retailers,<br />

medical facilities or professional<br />

offices, will range in size<br />

from 100m² to 290m².<br />

About 375 car parks are also<br />

connecting you with your neighbourhood<br />

Ferrymead Properties Ltd,<br />

which also owns Mitre 10 Mega<br />

Ferrymead, and Prestons Road<br />

Investments Ltd are developing<br />

the centre.<br />

An opening date for the new<br />

Mitre 10 Mega has not been set<br />

but was expected to be around<br />

November.<br />

It comes as work on the nearby<br />

Homebase shopping centre on<br />

Marshland Rd in Shirley continues<br />

to make progress.<br />

Once finished, Homebase<br />

will become the largest outdoor<br />

retail centre in Christchurch. The<br />

developers estimate stage one<br />

of the Homebase project will be<br />

completed by the middle of this<br />

year.<br />

Future of<br />

beloved<br />

oak trees<br />

remains<br />

uncertain<br />

• By Jack Ward<br />

RESIDENTS IN Shirley are yet<br />

to have a definitive answer on<br />

the removal of oak trees after a<br />

community meeting last week.<br />

The tall trees, which are estimated<br />

to be about 75-years-old, create a<br />

canopy over the street.<br />

The city council plan is to fell 17<br />

trees on Emmett St. Fourteen will<br />

be removed “due to non-compliance”<br />

and three “due to other safety<br />

concerns”. Three others will be<br />

removed on Riselaw St, which runs<br />

off Emmett St.<br />

Bec Roper-Gee of the Shirley<br />

Village Project said the meeting,<br />

attended by 30 people, was organised<br />

by the community and was<br />

a chance for council to hear their<br />

views.<br />

“There was a range of views, diversity<br />

of voices – and to have council<br />

front up and listen was great.<br />

“We’re still questioning about<br />

going forward and the processes<br />

that the community wants to be<br />

involved in.”<br />

Roper-Gee said three trees were<br />

unhealthy and their fate was sealed.<br />

“Some trees have to go, that is a<br />

certainty.”<br />

Emmett St resident Emma<br />

McGurk said there was a “grey<br />

area” about what alternate options<br />

there were if the trees were felled<br />

and whether they could be used in<br />

community projects.<br />

Windbreaks now<br />

back in place at<br />

dog rehab park<br />

• By Jack Ward<br />

CANINE NEUROPARK has been<br />

restored thanks to the work of one<br />

of its members.<br />

Thieves removed 40 metres<br />

of windbreak material from the<br />

NeuroPark Social rehab facility on<br />

New Brighton Rd on <strong>February</strong> 2.<br />

The windbreaks are a vital tool in<br />

helping rehabilitate dogs in a safe<br />

place.<br />

Canine NeuroPark Trust has<br />

more than 400 active members,<br />

who can book to use its New<br />

Brighton Rd and Morganwood St,<br />

Bexley, facilities.<br />

The parks cater for dogs<br />

who have had surgery or<br />

musculoskeletal problems, or<br />

have had negative experiences like<br />

abuse, which makes them unable<br />

to use regular dog parks.<br />

Rebecca Herbison said the rehab<br />

park is a sanctuary for her threeyear-old<br />

American Bulldog Sweetpea.<br />

She was happy to help set up<br />

the new windbreak, made out of<br />

material purchased by the trust.<br />

“I don’t know what we would do<br />

without (the park) for her. It is lifechanging,”<br />

Herbison said.<br />

“We wouldn’t have the outlet<br />

anywhere else.”<br />

Herbison has been a Canine<br />

PUPPY LOVE: Rebecca<br />

Herbison credits the two<br />

NeuroPark sites for the<br />

progress made with her<br />

rescue dog Sweetpea’s<br />

rehabilitation journey.<br />

NeuroPark member for two years<br />

after adopting Sweetpea from<br />

Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue in<br />

Woolston.<br />

“She has come from a traumatic<br />

past and it is the only place to have<br />

her off-lead. It is super important,<br />

especially for reactionary dogs.<br />

“It is a happy coincidence we live<br />

five minutes away or else the only<br />

other option is to hire out a paddock<br />

at my friend’s farm.”<br />

Canine NeuroPark co-owner<br />

Bono Beeler said he appreciated<br />

Herbison taking the time to give<br />

RESTORED: The windbreak webbing has been reinstalled at the Canine Neuropark Social<br />

park on New Brighton Rd after thieves stole 40m of the material.<br />

back. “That’s ultimately good for<br />

everyone,” Beeler said.<br />

“After several DMs (direct<br />

messages) that members liked the<br />

windbreaker material when they<br />

are at Neuropark Social, I would<br />

have had to reinstall it anyway, but<br />

for me it shows great appreciation<br />

that members offered to give their<br />

time to do that.”<br />

Herbison said using both the<br />

Bexley and New Brighton NeuroPark<br />

facilities meant Sweetpea<br />

was now moving forward with her<br />

rehabilitation.<br />

“It’s a super important step in her<br />

training – NeuroPark allows her to<br />

safely observe other dogs while in a<br />

fenced area.<br />

“Both locations are a huge<br />

resource for us in her rehabilitation<br />

journey, and I genuinely don’t<br />

think we would have been able<br />

to make the progress we’ve made<br />

without it.<br />

“It is her favourite place in the<br />

world.”<br />

ZOOMIES: Sweetpea in full stride at the Bexley site. Owner<br />

Rebecca Herbison says the two NeuroPark sites are the only<br />

places she feels comfortable letting Sweetpea off her lead.<br />

ARIO’S THREE-wheel<br />

scooters have hit the streets of<br />

Christchurch, replacing the<br />

Neuron e-scooter brand.<br />

Neuron failed to get its license<br />

renewed in the city council’s<br />

tender process to choose two<br />

city-wide operators.<br />

Priority was given to companies<br />

able to increase rider<br />

numbers and meet tougher<br />

new standards for safety and<br />

security, using monitoring and<br />

technology.<br />

The city’s first ride-share<br />

scooter operator, Lime, successfully<br />

had their contract renewed<br />

from January 31.<br />

With two wheels at the front<br />

and one at the rear, Ario claims<br />

its scooters are more stable<br />

than the two-wheeled models,<br />

improving balance and overall<br />

control.<br />

Ario already operates e-scooters<br />

on the streets of Auckland,<br />

and says it has employed a local<br />

workforce to manage its daily<br />

operations across Christchurch.<br />

Said Ario New Zealand and<br />

Australia general manager<br />

Adam Rossetto: “Ario is packed<br />

with features such as accidental<br />

toppling prevention, helmet<br />

NEW RIDE: A thousand new Ario e-scooters have been deployed across the city.<br />

locks, active suspension and better<br />

braking.”<br />

He said the scooter’s three<br />

mechanical brakes provide<br />

improved stopping power,<br />

reducing collision risks.<br />

Rosetto said the four onboard<br />

cameras and depth sensors<br />

meant they have the ability to<br />

sense pedestrians and regulate a<br />

PLANNED FELLING: Shirley residents are still waiting an update from the city council on<br />

plans to remove trees on Emmett St (pictured) and Riselaw St.<br />

Options for future of<br />

trees to be explored<br />

• From page 1<br />

“People have lived in Shirley for<br />

generations so it is a significant<br />

thing to consider and doing the<br />

proper processes to go through to<br />

explore other options if possible.”<br />

Innes Community Board<br />

member Ali Jones said the focus<br />

had to be on all options being<br />

investigated.<br />

“Once these trees are gone,<br />

they’re gone, I’m gutted for this<br />

community.”<br />

“We need to maintain these<br />

trees and what does that look<br />

like?”<br />

CCC Transport Operations<br />

Manager Stephen Wright said the<br />

council had committed to avoiding<br />

a lack of communication in<br />

the future.<br />

“We reconfirmed that we<br />

would communicate much earlier<br />

with the community moving<br />

forward.”<br />

A special briefing is planned for<br />

tonight, following the scheduled<br />

meeting for community board<br />

members, council staff, and<br />

Orion.<br />

The public are welcome to attend<br />

but will not have speaking<br />

rights.<br />

The shops at the eastern end of Brighton Mall next to the<br />

Wave Bar have been completely demolished. It comes as the<br />

old bar is also in the process of being torn down. The work<br />

is part of the shopping centre’s long-awaited revitalisation.<br />

Martini Investments is spearheading the project, buying up<br />

12 properties to create a new hospitality, retail, market, and<br />

entertainment hub dubbed ‘Pierside’. The first stage will<br />

include a boardwalk-style lane way and an indoor-outdoor<br />

hub with retail and hospitality outlets. The demolition crew<br />

started work at the site two weeks ago and it is expected to<br />

be cleared within a few weeks. Local brewery Southpaw will<br />

be Pierside’s first tenant and is currently setting up in the<br />

restored former Dowsons Shoes shop next to the site. They are<br />

aiming to open a brew bar by the end of the year.<br />

Enviro Master helping<br />

Cantabrians<br />

Enviro Master has been helping<br />

Cantabrians get the balance right when<br />

it comes to choosing the perfect heat<br />

pump or air conditioning system for<br />

their home or office since 2002.<br />

Their team of expert sales people,<br />

qualified electricians, heating and<br />

refrigeration engineers, help to supply<br />

and install one of Christchurch’s<br />

widest range of heat pumps including<br />

Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin<br />

and Fujitsu. Because they have no<br />

affiliation with any one brand, you can<br />

be assured their advice on the benefits<br />

and differences between each product is<br />

unbiased.<br />

They will recommend the most<br />

energy-efficient and cost-effective system<br />

for your individual situation, and will<br />

have you regulating the heat in your<br />

home or office in no time.<br />

Nowadays, customers are often<br />

wanting whole home solutions to be<br />

able to maintain even temperatures<br />

throughout the home both in Winter<br />

and Summer. This can be achieved by<br />

using ducted systems or multi systems<br />

and Enviro Master are experts in<br />

designing, installing and commissioning<br />

these systems.<br />

Help is currently available with a<br />

government subsidy offering 80 per cent<br />

of the cost of a new heat pump up to<br />

$3000 including GST.<br />

The subsidy is part of the Warmer<br />

Kiwi Homes initiative and is available<br />

to Home owner/occupiers with a<br />

Community Services Card, a SuperGold<br />

combo card or who live in a low-income<br />

area as determined by deciles 8-10 on<br />

the New Zealand Deprivation Index.<br />

The applicant’s home must also have<br />

summer<br />

specials<br />

80%<br />

SubSidy<br />

Warmer KiWi HomeS<br />

Programme<br />

*Eligibility criteria apply<br />

been built before 2008, have insulation<br />

up to code (insulation subsidies also<br />

available) and have no fixed heating<br />

in any living area, such as an existing<br />

operational heat pump or fireplace.<br />

To ensure you choose the right system<br />

for your home or business, one of Enviro<br />

Master’s experts will visit to assess your<br />

individual situation, offer advice and<br />

answer any questions you may have.<br />

This consultation is at no cost to the<br />

customer and is always provided before a<br />

heat pump is installed.<br />

Anyone wondering about their<br />

eligibility for a subsidised heat pump are<br />

welcome to get in touch for details and<br />

help with the application process.<br />

Savouring the<br />

tastes of summer<br />

Nigel Slater rustles up scorched<br />

peppers in herby olive oil for<br />

summer days, followed by<br />

refreshing lemon curd<br />

Roast red peppers with chickpeas<br />

and basil oil<br />

Serves 2 as a main dish,<br />

4 with other dishes<br />

Ingredients<br />

750g large red peppers<br />

A little olive oil<br />

150g canned or bottled chickpeas<br />

For the oil:<br />

50g basil (leaves and stems)<br />

A small clove of garlic, peeled<br />

100ml olive oil<br />

2 Tbsp water<br />

A pinch of caster sugar<br />

A few drops of lemon juice<br />

Method<br />

• Preheat oven to 200degC.<br />

• Cut the peppers in half from stalk to tip<br />

then pull out and discard the core, seeds and<br />

stem.<br />

• Put the peppers cut-side up in a roasting<br />

tin, then moisten with a little olive oil – a<br />

couple of tablespoons should be enough.<br />

• Roast the peppers for about an hour till<br />

their skins are puffed and, here and there,<br />

blackened by the heat of the oven.<br />

• Remove the tin from the oven and place<br />

a tea towel or plastic bag over the top to<br />

encourage the peppers to steam as they cool.<br />

It will make them easier to skin.<br />

• Put the basil leaves and stems into a<br />

blender or food processor and blitz to a fine<br />

paste with the garlic. Pour in the olive oil<br />

and the water, a little at time, to give you a<br />

sloppy, deep-green paste.<br />

• Season with a little salt, a tiny pinch of<br />

sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice. At this<br />

point the flavour will be quite robust and<br />

peppery.<br />

• Drain and rinse the chickpeas and add<br />

them to the dressing.<br />

• Peel the skins from the peppers and<br />

discard, placing the peppers in a mixing<br />

bowl, then add the dressing and chickpeas.<br />

Include any roasting juice from the tin,<br />

however meagre – it will be sweet and<br />

intensely caramelised.<br />

• Toss gently to lightly coat the peppers.<br />

The sweetness of the roasted peppers will<br />

soften the pepperiness of the dressing.<br />

• Transfer to a serving dish.<br />

Lemon and<br />

raspberry squares<br />

Serves 12<br />

Ingredients<br />

For the pastry:<br />

200g butter<br />

100g caster sugar<br />

175g plain flour<br />

100g cornflour<br />

For the filling:<br />

Finely grated zest of 2 lemons<br />

200ml lemon juice<br />

200g caster sugar<br />

100g butter<br />

4 eggs<br />

2 egg yolks<br />

To finish:<br />

A peach<br />

250g raspberries<br />

Rose petals (optional)<br />

You will need a 24×30cm baking tin lined<br />

with baking parchment.<br />

Method<br />

• Make the pastry crust: preheat the oven<br />

to 180degC. Put the butter into the bowl of a<br />

food mixer, add the caster sugar and cream<br />

them (using the flat paddle beater) till light<br />

and fluffy then add the flour and cornflour.<br />

Mix to a soft dough.<br />

• Tip the dough into the lined baking tin<br />

and press it down gently until you have filled<br />

the base. Take care not to compact it.<br />

• Bake for 25 minutes till pale-biscuit<br />

coloured, then remove from the oven.<br />

• Put the lemon zest and juice, sugar and<br />

butter, cut into cubes, into a heatproof bowl.<br />

Place over a pan of simmering water, making<br />

sure that the bowl fits neatly into the top of<br />

the pan and the bottom of the basin doesn’t<br />

touch the water.<br />

• Stir with a whisk until the butter has<br />

melted.<br />

• Mix the eggs and egg yolks lightly with<br />

a fork, then stir into the lemon mixture. Let<br />

the curd cook, stirring regularly, for about<br />

20 minutes, until it is thick. You need a stiff<br />

curd here.<br />

• Keep the heat low to moderate and stir<br />

intermittently.<br />

• Remove from the heat and stir<br />

occasionally as it cools. Smooth the curd<br />

over the shortbread, taking it right up to the<br />

edge of the tin.<br />

• Leave to set in the fridge, covered, for 2-3<br />

hours, till firm.<br />

• Halve, stone and slice the peach into 12<br />

thin pieces.<br />

• Cut the tart into 12 and place a slice of<br />

peach and a raspberry on each. If you wish,<br />

a few rose petals too on each.<br />

Enzogenol Supports<br />

Brain Function<br />

A natural extract made from the bark of<br />

New Zealand pine trees is being used to<br />

help treat traumatic brain injury- one of the<br />

leading causes of death in the country.<br />

Researchers at Auckland University<br />

recently tested the effectiveness of the<br />

supplement Enzogenol on people with<br />

traumatic brain injuries.<br />

In the study conducted by the<br />

National Institute for Stroke and Applied<br />

Neuroscience, Professor Valery Feigin, sixty<br />

people were given Enzogenol for either a<br />

six or 12-week period.<br />

Results from the study showed an<br />

improvement in day-to-day<br />

cognitive functioning. It also<br />

showed the extract could<br />

potentially boost memory and<br />

increase attention spans among<br />

those who had suffered brain<br />

injuries.<br />

Professor Feigin said that<br />

stroke occurrences in New<br />

Zealand are the second-highest<br />

among developed countries, and<br />

numbers are increasing.<br />

“Every day, 90 New Zealanders<br />

sustain a brain injury, ranging<br />

from mild to severe. Acquired<br />

brain injury - including stroke<br />

and traumatic brain injury - is<br />

the leading cause of disability<br />

Bringing You the<br />

Best in Natural<br />

Health!<br />

and death in this country, costing our<br />

health system an estimated $100 million<br />

per year...Many supplements claim health<br />

benefits; however, this research is one<br />

of few evidence-based treatments. Until<br />

now, there has been a lack of effective<br />

medication for mild TBI - Traumatic Brain<br />

Injury. Other than brain exercises, there<br />

are limited treatments available to improve<br />

damage as a result of TBI.”<br />

Enzogenol is a potent natural antioxidant & anti-inflammatory<br />

produced from an extract of the New Zealand pine bark. In one<br />

study, researchers concluded that it can reduce the average<br />

age of the brain by 12 years in as little as 5 weeks. Studies<br />

also show it can improve response time as well as long & short-term<br />

memory, concentration & brain performance. Enzogenol helps protect<br />

the body from aging, including supporting cardiovascular and nervous<br />

system health & may also improve recovery after illness. Enzogenol<br />

can increase blood flow to the brain by up to 10% supporting healing<br />

of tissue damage & recovery of brain functions after brain injuries<br />

such as concussions & stroke. ENZO PROFESSIONAL contains<br />

240mg per capsule of Enzogenol flavonoids & is the most potent<br />
