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 />

January saw a 10-year high in<br />
new listings, and this trend is<br />
expected to continue until<br />
April. While lower interest rates<br />
are boosting buyer activity, the<br />
increased supply means buyers<br />
have more options, creating a<br />
balanced market. To stand out,<br />
sellers need an agent who<br />
excels in marketing,<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 />

HE PUNA TAIMOANA HOT<br />
POOLS CLOSE for two months<br />
for maintenance From Monday 17<br />
<strong>February</strong> the New Brighton Hot Pools are<br />
temporarily closing their doors while they<br />
carry out scheduled maintenance work.<br />
This is part of a two-yearly programme to<br />
ensure the facility is fit for purpose.<br />
He Puna Taimoana is expected to reopen<br />
by mid-April <strong>2025</strong>, with the re-opening<br />
date scheduled to be confirmed by the end<br />
of March.<br />
Coffee lovers don’t panic! Saturdays Café<br />
will continue trading during the closure<br />
period. Check the café’s website for opening<br />
hours.<br />
Bookings are unavailable for the closure<br />
period and will become available once the<br />
reopening date has been confirmed.<br />
As a result of the inconvenience, the<br />
pools are automatically extending current<br />
memberships, and 10 visit concessions<br />
passes by eight weeks. Gift vouchers, credits<br />
and on-hold bookings due to expire during<br />
the closure period will also be honoured for<br />
an additional eight weeks once the facility<br />
reopens.<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 />
