The best read and largest circulating newspaper in Christchurch 

Plea to Megan Woods 

THE STAR is calling on Megan 

Woods and other Christchurch 

Government MPs to move faster to 

solve the disgraceful hospital park and 

ride situation. 

Dr Woods, who is Minister of 

Greater Christchurch Regeneration, 

Ruth Dyson, Poto Williams, Duncan 

Webb and Eugenie Sage have been in 

power since the Labour-led coalition 

was voted in several months ago. 

There was strong Labour voter 

support in Christchurch. It’s now time 

for Woods, Dyson, Webb, Williams 

and Sage to repay that confidence. 

But in spite of pre-election 

drum-beating nothing has yet been 

done about the situation at park and 

ride. 

Sage hasn’t even bothered to respond 

to The Star inquiries about park and 

ride – an issue this newspaper has 

highlighted since last winter. 

Today we are again highlighting 

the plight of hospital patients and 

visitors – like this pregnant woman in 

the photo (right) and the gentleman 

(above) who has cancer. 

A disgrace.

EDITOR’S

News.....................................3-17 

MEGAN WOODS gets a 

serve in today’s Star over the 

disgraceful situation at the 

hospital’s park and ride facility. 

It’s not her doing, of course, 

but in our view as minister 

of greater Christchurch 

regeneration, she should be able 

to kick some backside and sort 

the problem out. 

The buck has been passed 

between the Canterbury District 

Health Board – which says it 

has no money to improve the 

situation – and politicians for far 

too long. 

The Star highlighted last 

winter the appalling conditions 

hospital patients and visitors 

have to endure at the Deans Ave 

site. 

Nothing has changed as we 

head into another winter. The 

terrible weather of the past few 

days only steels our resolve to 

challenge the new Government 

into doing something National 

– and the Canterbury District 

Health Board – have failed to do. 

Woods told The Star yesterday: 

“We’ve got to leave no stone 

unturned. Winter’s coming.” 

Make it quick Megan.

Overseas interest in new Buskers 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

SIX EVENT management 

companies are vying to deliver 

the new event which will replace 

the scrapped World Buskers 

Festival next year. 

ChristchurchNZ’s request for 

proposals process for companies 

to deliver the new Boulevard of 

Outrageous Delights in January 

closed last week. 

ChristchurchNZ attraction 

general manager Linda 

Falwasser said it received six 

proposals from international, 

national and local companies. 

She said privacy provisions 

meant it could not release the 

names yet. 

“At this stage, we are very 

pleased at the calibre of several 

of these proposals and anticipate 

announcing an outcome early 

next week.” 

Each proposal was being 

evaluated by a panel made up of 

ChristchurchNZ, city council 

and external partners representatives 

looking at the capability 

of each participant and the 

strengths of their proposals, Ms 

Falwasser said. 

“The evaluation panel consists 

of individuals with a range of 

expertise and skills to determine 

the best possible outcome for the 

people of Christchurch.” 

ChristchurchNZ, the city’s new 

tourism, events and economic 

development agency, was tasked 

with deciding the World Buskers 

Festival’s future after it ran at a 

loss for the last three years. 

A ChristchurchNZ report 

prepared after January’s festival 

POPULAR: ChristchurchNZ has received six proposals from companies to run the new 

Boulevard of Outrageous Delights, which will replace the World Buskers Festival.

finished proposed the new name 

and said the festival should be 

expanded over three years into a 

$3.3 million event if major sponsors 

could be found. 

It said the 25-year-old event 

needed reinventing because it 

was “tired.” 

In a statement released yesterday, 

the World Buskers Festival 

Trust said it “strongly” rejected 

that characterisation. 

It said January’s festival saw 

300,000 attend more than 400 

shows. 

“The world-class, diverse and 

engaging festival (based on 

attendees’ feedback) successfully 

met all of its targets this 

year and supported the local 

economy.” 

There was confusion over 

whether the 2018 festival made 

or lost money. Initially the trust 

said it had a $150,000 surplus, 

but ChristchurchNZ later said it 

lost about $33,000. 

Yesterday’s statement said the 

city council gave the festival a 

one-off $200,000 grant. 

“Due to changes as to how the 

grant was allocated in the budget, 

there was misalignment in how 

the financial performance of the 

festival was articulated,” it said. 

“The 2018 festival was a huge 

success and, with the resolution 

to wind up the World Buskers 

Festival Trust, we have transferred 

to Christchurch City 

Council all assets and materials 

with a minimal drawdown of 

the additional grant.” 

The trust wanted to thank 

the organisers, performers and 

Christchurch for supporting the 

festival as it was, the statement 

said. 

“We’ve been proud to be such 

an iconic event of the city, and 

we hope that the “Boulevard 

of Outrageous Delights” – 

whatever it looks like – exceeds 

expectations.” 

St Andrew’s criticised over care of suicidal student 

ST ANDREW’S College has 

been criticised for the way it 

dealt with a suicidal student who 

took his own life. 

Coroner Brigitte Windley 

found that college staff did not 

properly implement their student 

care system before student Michael 

Bain, 18, took his own life 

on December 21, 2015. 


Ms Windley’s findings, which 

were released yesterday, identified 

“sub-optimal implementation” 

of pastoral care from the 

college prior to Michael’s death. 

“To my mind, Michael’s pastoral 

care experience at StAC was 

ad hoc [and] lacked a cohesive 

information base.” 

The findings said communication 

with Michael’s mother was 

“ineffective” after it was revealed 

staff were twice informed he 

had been talking about killing 

himself. But his mother said she 

was not told. 

“A one-off miscommunication 

might well be a reasonable, 

although tragic, explanation but 

for the fact that this disconnect 

was replicated a second time,” 

Ms Windley wrote. 

The college’s board of governors 

chairman Bryan Pearson 

said in a written statement the 

school accepts the findings. 

Mr Pearson said the college 

has reviewed the care system and 

made changes which align with 

the coroner’s observations. 


In Brief 

Fire rages, homes at risk 

BURGLARY CHARGE 

A 42-year-old man is due to 

appear in court today after being 

arrested in relation to a number 

of burglaries at rest homes in 

Christchurch. He has been 

charged with being unlawfully in 

a building and burglary. 

CITY BUSY WITH TOURISTS 

Record-breaking tourist numbers 

visited Christchurch over 

summer, injecting more than $3.6 

million into the region’s economy. 

The February tourism spend was 

20 per cent up from the previous 

month. In February, Christchurch 

received $416 million in 

tourism spend. ChristchurchNZ 

marketing general manager 

Rowan Worner said Chinese New 

Year, combined with the bumper 

summer and events portfolio 

helped attract cashed-up visitors. 

MARSHLAND MACCAS 

McDonald’s wants to set up a new 

restaurant on Marshland Rd. It 

has applied to the city council for 

resource consent to convert the 

former Raeward Fresh site into a 

restaurant with a drive-through. 

It is one of three McDonald’s 

wants to set up in Christchurch 

this year. Others include one on 

Woolston’s Ferry Rd and one on

Hospital parking 

No relief in sight 

• By Bridget Rutherford 

GREATER Christchurch 

regeneration minister Megan 

Woods says work is being 

done behind the scenes to 

find solutions to Christchurch 

Hospital’s parking woes. 

But she can’t yet say when 

changes will be made, and if any 

relief will come before winter. 

Christchurch MPs, city council 

and Canterbury District Health 

Board representatives have 

teamed up to find solutions for 

the lack of parking options near 

the hospital, and the state of the 

privately-owned Deans Ave car 

park where the park and ride 

service operates from. 

“We’ve got to leave no stone 

unturned. Winter’s coming,” Dr 

Woods said yesterday. 

She is tasked with investigating 

long-term options for parking 

until a permanent car parking 

building is constructed in 2020. 

They included opportunities 

for parking in the South Frame, 

or the Metro Sports Facility land, 

she said. But she would not say 

more until an announcement 

about the Metro Sport Facility 

was made later this month. 

Using the Lichfield St car park 

for hospital parking was another 

Megan Woods Duncan Webb Ruth Dyson 

option being investigated, Dr 

Woods said. 

“We’re driving it as fast as we 

can after a period of inaction by 

the previous government.” 

The Deans Ave car park is 

owned and operated by Global 

Edge Properties, which gets the 

parking revenue. The CDHB 

runs the free shuttles and installed 

the shelter on site. 

Christchurch Central MP Duncan 

Webb has been working with 

the city council on the condition 

of the Deans Ave car park, and 

whether its surface is compliant 

with its resource consent. 

He said ultimately it was up to 

the CDHB as to what solutions it 

wanted to implement, including 

more shelter, and when. 

“We’ve got to do it before 

weather like this comes back.” 

City council head of regulatory 

compliance Tracey Weston said 

the car park’s resource consent 

required some asphalt patching 

so it had an even surface to prevent 

trips and falls. 

She said the investigation into 

whether it complied was ongoing. 

The CDHB has said there 

was no funding to install extra 

shelter. It has asked Global Edge 

Properties on “numerous occasions” 

to fix the uneven surface. 

The CDHB was unable to respond 

before The Star’s deadline 

yesterday. 

Port Hills MP Ruth Dyson said 

the winter deadline was still the 

“ideal” goal. 

“We haven’t got there yet, 

there’s a few things floated 

around.” 

‘It’s really annoying, 

• By Julia Evans 

LOUISE LEWIS is 25 weeks 

pregnant with her second child. 

It’s a “high risk” pregnancy, 

she said. 

That means she’s been using 

the park and ride service “quite 

a lot” recently, having to go into 

hospital regularly for check-ups, 

making sure she and the baby are 

okay. 

“If there’s something wrong 

this time, I’ll have to come in 

every two weeks and that will 

be really hard when it’s like 

this,” she said as the hail fell on 

Tuesday. 

Her 10-month-old son, 

Damian, was wrapped in a 

blanket. He didn’t take his head 

off his mother’s chest. 

“It’s really annoying, I can’t 

get the pram out with the potholes, 

so I have to carry him,” she 

said. 

Ms Lewis said something 

needed to be done. 

David and Wendy Heenan 

have to go to the hospital regularly. 

Mr Heenan has cancer and 

was going in to have a check up. 

When asked what he thought 

about the condition of the car 

park, he laughed. 

“What condition? It’s just 

shocking.” 

Louise Lewis 

He said the Government 

should be doing more to fix the 

car park and extend the shelter, 

including running the service 

more frequently. 

“It’s like something you would 

see in a third world country, 

not in New Zealand. Something 

needs to be done to ensure the 

public are safe, because left like 

this, they’re not safe.” 

Mr Heenan said it was demeaning 

for patients who are 

suffering already.

I can’t get the pram out with the potholes’ 

David and Wendy Heenan 

“I’ve seen 50 people waiting 

out here, waiting in the rain 

. . . even sheep in a wool shed get 

shelter.” 

There were more and more 

potholes every day. But recently 

a grader had ran over the car 

park to smooth the surface, he 

said. 

“That’s as far as they went. It 

was nowhere near far enough 

and with the rain, it’s just back 

to square one.” 

When it started hailing, Mr 

and Mrs Heenan were outside, 

Rachael Delore 

putting up an umbrella. 

“We’ll lose our place in the 

line for the bus if we go inside,” 

he said. 

“It’s pretty bad,” Rachael 

Delore said as she waited for 

the shuttle outside cradling her 

20-month-old daughter Aleah to 

her chest. 

Ms Delore was going to 

hospital to visit her stepfather. 

Something she does often. 

“This is the first time she 

(Aleah) has been in the shuttle 

WAITING: Kathleen Reynolds (centre) said although the car 

park needs fixing, the service was vital and doing a good job. 

PHOTOS: MARTIN HUNTER 

. . . there are no car seats for her 

in it. You can’t get your pram 

through here either and I don’t 

know if there’s anywhere on the 

bus to put it,” she said. 

Ms Delore said she didn’t 

know how it was going to work, 

whether Aleah would sit on her 

lap or have to be in a seat on her 

own. 

There “definitely should be 

more” being done to seal the car 

park. 

“It’d be different if we had 

somewhere else but this is all there 

is. It’s really difficult,” she said. 

Kathleen Reynolds was on 

crutches when she was waiting 

for the shuttle. 

The car park needs to be resurfaced. 

It was difficult walking 

through pot holes in the rain, 

she said. 

But at least there was a car 

park. 

“But more than anything 

we’re thankful to have this. 

It’s impossible to get a park 

otherwise.” 

“There definitely needs to be 

a bit more organisation from 

whoever owns it. But it’s a great 

idea and we’re so grateful it’s 

here,” she said.

Jump in shuttle 

patronage 

The CDHB is investigating 

how often the shuttle runs 

between Deans Ave and the 

hospital after latest figures 

show a jump in patronage. 

“We are currently reviewing 

usage and scheduling of our 

vehicles to accommodate 

extra passengers,” CDHB 

support services manager 

Rachel Cadle said the shuttle 

runs every 15-20 minutes. 

The CDHB is predicting 

an increase of about 26,000 

passengers trips for 2018. 

“The latest figures for the 

park and ride service from 

Deans Ave to Christchurch 

Hospital show that we are 

now transporting more 

hospital patients than ever 

before,” says CDHB chief 

executive David Meates. 

In January and February 

of this year, the service took 

52,000 trips. 

“Which puts us on track for 

a record-breaking 330,000 

passenger trips for the year 

if demand for the service 

continues at this rate,” he 

said. 

In 2016 (January to 

December) the service took 

229,000 trips between the 

car park and hospital. That 

was up 33 per cent in 2017 to 

304,000.

Farewell Fergie 

Extremely combative – for Linwood, 

Canterbury rugby great Fergie McCormick died 

on Tuesday after a battle with throat cancer. In 

honour of the All Blacks legend, Gordon Findlater 

spoke to some of the people who new him best on 

and off the field 

WHEN CALLING a handful 

of Fergie McCormick’s former 

teammates and asking for 

memorable stories of their mate, 

you’ll receive one 

common answer. 

Anyone who 

knew Fergie well 

enough has plenty 

of great stories, 

just nothing that’s 

appropriate to 

print. 

He was celebrated 

for his 

fearless tackling 

and was one of 

the first running 

fullbacks, possessing 

a startling 

turn of pace in 

his 18-year career 

with Canterbury. 

However, after talking to many 

who played with him at the Canterbury 

level you learn he bled 

red and black, but on the inside 

he was a pure green and black 

Linwood man. 

“He’d play for Linwood before 

playing for the All Blacks if they 

were stuck,” former teammate 

Lionel Hunter said. 

Said former 

teammate 

Robin Cocks: 

“He’d played 

on Wednesday 

against South 

Canterbury 

and he came 

back for the 

Saturday game 

with Linwood. 

We were playing 

University who 

were very strong 

at that stage. I 

remember he had 

a row of stitches 

in his top lip. A 

lot of guys wouldn’t have played 

but he just put some sticky tape 

across the top of the stiches.” 

Said former teammate Ian 

Mallard: “He was always 

extremely combative, whether 

he was playing for Linwood, 

LEGEND: Fergie McCormick, pictured here in 2005, on his 

Canterbury farm before heading to work as a real estate agent 

of First National. 

PHOTO: PHOTOSPORT 

Canterbury or the All Blacks, he 

played the same in every game.” 

Said Alex Wyllie: “I’ll always 

remember we were playing 

Hawkes Bay, and Rod Abel, 

who’s a big lock, was running 

for the line. Fergie picked him 

up and took him back. That’s the 

sort of player he was. He wasn’t 

tall in stature but he was big in 

what he could do.” 

Said former teammate 

Ian Mallard: “Before a game in 

the changing sheds he would be 

very quiet and then the moment 

he stepped into the tunnel it was 

like you released a raging bull 

. . . I remember in one game we 

played Christchurch at Lancaster 

Park and down the back of the 

line in the tunnel there was a bit 

of biff between him and Roger 

Mahan.” 

Said Wyllie: “He’s a character 

within himself and some of his 

pet sayings would break you 

up and they probably can’t be 

repeated.” 

Said former teammate Brent 

Elder: “Going into the dressing 

sheds after a game you’d get into 

the showers and look at ‘Worts’ 

or ‘Fungus’ as we used to call 

him and see all the sprig marks 

on his back. He’d have a big grin 

on his face and said ‘mate at least 

they’re your sprig marks and 

not someone else’s’. So he didn’t 

mind having sprig marks if they 

were his teammates because it 

meant we were getting the ball 

back. If they were the oppositions 

we wore the brunt of it.” 

Said Wyllie: “He demanded a 

lot of himself and he demanded 

a lot from the people around 

him. He demanded a lot from 

the forwards as well. He was a 

big influence on any team that he 

played in.” 

Said Linwood Rugby 

Club president Bill McKnight: 

“A group of us had played 

under-19s the year before. We all 

arrived at trials at Linwood the 

following year. Fergie arrived 

and told us he’s coaching the 

under-20s so a group of us decided 

we’ll prefer to play a more 

social grade.”

“I ended up being a bit of a 

spokesperson for the group

‘well, it’s like this, I’m coaching 

under-20s, you guys are playing 

under-20s and you’ve got the 

biggest mouth so you’ll be the 

captain.’ That’s what he was like

Said Elder: “We were playing 

Wellington at Athletic Park. 

Fergie was eyeing up Grant 

Batty and Batty told him he 

was going to run around him 

. . . just at the moment Batty 

had thought he’d got past him, 

Fergie bundled him into touch. 

He stood up and said not quick 

enough young fella. He was a 

special player. A true friend on 

the paddock and off the paddock. 

He didn’t take a backward 

step to anybody.”

Said Hunter: “He was very

Fergie, he would analyse it as it

you how it was going to end.” 

Said Cocks: “There were 

some pretty big crowds in our 

days at club rugby. You often 

heard the comments from the 

crowd. People from other clubs 

hated him just because he was 

so good and incredibly tough.” 

Said Mallard: “If anybody 

was getting dealt to on the 

bottom of a ruck, he’d come 

charging in from the backs and 

there would be fists flying. He 

made sure he looked after his

Gallery director repelled army 


EVEN THE army couldn’t break 

Blair Jackson’s artistic passion 

on the night of the February 22, 

2011, earthquake. 

But it’s a story the new art gallery 

director has never spoken of 

publicly. 

“It’s not something I’ve told 

anybody, but I think it appears 

in Bob Parker’s book,” he said. 

Mr Jackson, who was deputy 

director of the Christchurch 

Art Gallery at the time, said 

he fielded a late night call from 

the Civil Defence controller the 

night of the quake. 

“I was at home with my family, 

in that same state of shock or 

concern that everyone was feeling,” 

he said. 

He was told the army wanted 

to clear artworks from an exhibition 

space so it could be turned 

into more offices. 

“The Civil Defence team and 

army were using the foyer as 

a base but they needed more 

room.” 

Instead of letting the army 

storm in, he refused and 

organised a team of gallery 

staff to take the paintings down 

for safe storage early in the 

morning. 

The gallery spaces had been 

put into lockdown after the

shaking to protect the art, a lot 

of which was borrowed, he said. 

“At that time all of the doors 

were locked, security staff had 

locked down all our gallery 

spaces. A lot of those works were 

valuable and on loan to us from 

other institutions, they were in 

our care.” 

So he told Civil Defence, it was 

not going to be possible. 

“What I said is: ‘No we’re not 

prepared to do that. That’s just 

not a responsible solution.’ And 

I said I would have a team here 

first thing in the morning to deinstall 

the exhibition properly,” 

he said. 

He said that’s exactly what 

happened. 

“We took it down ourselves 

and it was the most sensible 

outcome. There’s a way to 

move paintings, particularly 

when they don’t belong to 

you.”

Councillor’s 

notices on stop 

signs removed 


CITY COUNCILLOR Aaron 

Keown has been rapped over the 

knuckles for putting a notice on 

a pole holding a compulsory stop 

sign. 

Cr Keown put signs up at Harewood, 

Breens and Gardiners Rds, 

encouraging residents to submit 

on the city council’s Long Term 

Plan. 

But he put them at the bottom 

of stop signs, so the city council 

removed them. 

A New Zealand Transport 

Agency spokesperson said placing 

signs there is “not helpful” as it 

distracts drivers who may read 

the notice instead of paying attention 

to the stop control. 

“You are not legally allowed 

to add other signs onto road 

safety signs or poles for the same 

reason.” 

A city council spokeswoman 

said a member of the roading 

team took them down. 

But Cr Keown told The Star he 

still did not consider it a safety issue, 

it was a “long bow” to draw. 

“In no way could they be distracting, 

in fact, you’re more likely 

to slow down and stop for a few 

seconds to read them.” 

Youth Guarantee 

Free training that makes a difference. 

Youth don’t always fit the academic mold expected of them in the 

mainstream education system. Thats where Youth Guarantee programmes 

come in. Government funded programmes developed to make students 

realise their potential, give them options for the future and open their eyes to 

the idea that they have something worth contributing to the world. 

Youth guarantee is about improving the 

transition from school to further study, work 

or training and offers youth between sixteen 

and nineteen years of age the opportunity 

to kick start their careers with free training. 

At Avonmore our courses have been 

developed to help students gain the skills 

they need for the future while learning 

about the topics their interest most closely 

aligns with. 

The best thing about Youth Guarantee is 

that students aren't 'stuck' in a certain area 

once they have finished, they will learn lots 

of skills that are transferable and that they 

can take to lots of other industries. 

Entry into Youth Guarantee programmes 

can be as little as having a couple of NCEA 

credits and meeting requirements like 

attendance, and having a good attitude. All 

prospective students are required to come 

in and attend an Information Session where 

we have a chat about where they’re at and 

make sure they are suitable for the 

programme they are interested in.

CTV families continue battle for ‘justice’ 

• By Kurt Bayer 

FAMILIES OF loved ones 

who died in the CTV building 

collapse have called on the 

Government and the Solicitor- 

General to review the “offensive” 

decision not to prosecute anyone 

over the disaster. 

Professor Maan Alkaisi, on 

behalf of the CTV families, said 

at a press conference yesterday, 

held near the CTV Building site 

where 115 people died when it 

pancaked during the magnitude-6.3 

earthquake of February 

22, 2011, that “significant 

evidence” and critical issues were 

not considered when the decision 

not to lay charges was made. 

Police announced last November 

that it will not pursue 

criminal charges – a decision 

made after lengthy “complex, 

technical” investigation involving 

expert engineering advice, 

reconstruction and examination 

of structural elements of the 

building, excavation of the CTV 

site, plus legal reviews by the 

Christchurch Crown Solicitor 

and Crown Law. 

The decision dismayed many 

families of loved ones who died 

in the tragedy. 

The CTV Families Group 

met with representatives of the 

police, Crown Law, and the 

Christchurch Crown Solicitor in 

December where they received 

a briefing on the background to 

the decision and were provided 

with an opportunity to ask questions. 

The group has since completed 

an analysis of new documents 

released under the Official 

Information Act, which revealed 

police took serious issue with 

parts of the Crown Law review 

and showed that detectives were 

unconvinced by the conclusion 

of the Deputy Solicitor-General 

that there should be no prosecutions 

but eventually fell into line. 

Yesterday, the families sent 

a formal request to Attorney- 

General David Parker, along with 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern 

and Justice Minister Andrew Little, 

calling for the decision not to 

prosecute to be reassessed. 

They say that during a meeting 

on December 14 last year, Deputy 

Solicitor-General Brendon 

Horsley said he was not aware 

that the CTV Building’s engineer 

Alan Reay had been given two 

opportunities – in 1986 and in 

1990 – to “make the building safe

to occupy.” 

“Mr Horsley looked right 

to Peter Read [the detective 

superintendent overseeing the 

police investigation] and left to 

[Christchurch Crown Solicitor] 

Mark Zarifeh, indicating that he 

did not know about these factors 

and stated that they had not told 

him about them,” Mr Alkaisi 

said today. 

“[Mr Horsley] said, ‘This could 

be used to press charges … for 

negligence’.” 

After three years of investigation, 

police initially decided to 

lay criminal charges – 115 charges 

of manslaughter – against 

the two engineers, Mr Reay and 

David Harding. 

The CTV families now believe 

that the decision-makers came to 

their conclusion not to prosecute 

without taking into account all 

information. 

“[It is] simply outrageous that 

the person who essentially took 

the whole decision and advised 

the police to change their decision 

was not aware of all the 

facts,” said Mr Alkaisi, whose 

wife Maysoon Abbas died in the 

collapse. 

“We have informed the 

Attorney-General that we found 

the explanations given for the 

decision unsatisfactory and 

concerning. 

“We maintain that the CTV 

case is justified and must go to 

trial to ensure just judgement 

without external interferences. 

“We ask for justice and accountability 

and we will never 

give up until justice is done.” 

Tim Elms, who lost his daughter 

Teresa McLean in the CTV 

Building, pleaded for the Government 

to “do the right thing.” 

Civil actions have been ruled 

out by lawyers and he said a 

criminal prosecution was the 

“last chance for some accountability.”

$100m sports hub just months 

From winter, the first stage of Christchurch’s 

brand new sports hub will start to open. Bridget 

Rutherford finds out just how significant the new 

complex is, what it will have, and when everything 

will be up and running 

IT HAS been a long seven years 

for some Canterbury sports. 

Many have had a lack of 

quality facilities to use after the 

February 22, 2011, earthquake, 

some have suffered a decline in 

registrations, while others have 

had to travel out of Christchurch 

to train. 

But the end is in sight. 

The $100 million Nga Puna 

Wai sports facility between Middleton 

and Halswell will begin to 

open from July. It will be home 

to athletics, hockey, rugby league 

and a crucial hub for tennis. 

City council recreation services 

manager David Bailey said 

Nga Puna Wai would replace the 

athletics facilities at QE II, Porritt 

Park, Rugby League Park and 

aspects of Wilding Park. 

“Nga Puna Wai will be the 

South Island’s premier outdoor 

multi-sports facility.” 

What was once 32ha of Nga 

Puna Wai Reserve land has been 

developed into the sports hub, 

of which the Maori name means 

‘many spring waters’, a reference 

to the nearby headwaters of the 

Heathcote River. 

Hockey will be the first to use 

the complex in winter, with two 

new water-based synthetic pitches 

and a covered spectator stand 

soon to open. Shared changing 

facilities and car parking will 

also be ready by then. 

It will be joined shortly after by 

athletics, when its 400m athletics 

track, field, covered seating, control 

tower, and throw and jump 

facilities are ready. 

The 12 outdoor acrylic tennis 

courts will be ready for the next 

tennis season over summer, and 

rugby league’s two sand-based 

fields, lighting, scoreboards 

and covered seating will be 

completed by next autumn. 

Meanwhile, a building for all 

codes with community rooms 

and flexible spaces, and two 

multi-purpose community fields 

are set to open next year. 

However, the work is weather 

dependent – last year, excessive

rain delayed progress. 

The multi-stage project has 

been in the pipeline since the 

four codes’ facilities were either 

damaged or destroyed after the 

quakes. 

The idea came about after 

the city council allocated $6.7 

million in its 2012/13 Annual 

Plan to build an athletics track to 

replace QE II. 

It was then decided to combine 

it with other sporting codes. 

Public feedback was sought 

in 2014, and a concept plan was 

developed for the complex to 

be built on part of the 83ha Nga 

Puna Wai Reserve. 

Although 90 per cent of 

feedback was supportive of the 

development, there was some 

opposition. 

The loudest came from the 

Canterbury A & P Association, 

which used the site for parking 

and grazing during its annual 

show. It later withdrew its opposition. 

Construction on the first 

stage of the complex started in 

February last year. 

So far, $17.4 million has been 

spent, made up of money from 

the city council, philanthropic 

organisations, sports bodies, 

commercial entities and the 

Government. 

A further $1.6 million needs to 

be raised to finish the first stage. 

“We are confident that through 

our remaining philanthropic 

and commercial efforts, the 

outstanding balance will be 

found,” Mr Bailey said. 

Stage two is yet to be 

designed, but it is likely to 

include an additional hockey 

turf, secondary athletics 

track, covered tennis courts, 

administration space, more 

community facilities and playing 

fields. Mr Bailey said any further 

stages would need planning 

and fundraising before being 

committed to. 

Canterbury Hockey chief 

executive Rod Templeton said 

Nga Puna Wai would become 

the home of Canterbury Hockey.

“I will be more excited when 

the whole project is complete.” 

Since QE II was destroyed, 

athletes has used the grass track 

at Rawhiti Domain, with other 

events scattered around the city. 

“It’s been seven years of hard 

toil. We’ve been based on a grass 

track, that’s going back to what 

it was like before the 1974 Commonwealth 

Games,” Mr Stark 

said. 

While the lack of facilities had 

not impacted on the success of 

Christchurch athletes at competitions, 

it meant participation 

numbers had dropped significantly, 

he said. 

Many had to go to Timaru to 

train or compete on a synthetic 

track, which put a lot of people 

off, he said. 

“We are hopeful the new track 

will bring people back to the 

sport, but there’s no guarantee.” 

Athletics Canterbury will 

install its own equipment costing 

up to $200,000, for which it 

needs to fundraise, he said.

Long wait for sports hub almost over 

•From page 13 

Mr Stark said “the Tom 

Walsh’s of the world” were keen 

to have the High Performance 

Sport NZ training facility at Jellie 

Park Recreation and Sport Centre 

moved to Nga Puna Wai in the 

future. 

The new 

athletics hub 

would have 

its first real 

test next 

year when 

it hosts the 

New Zealand 

track and 

field championships 

for 

Adam Gard’ner the first time 

since 2010. 

Athletics New Zealand events 

manager Gareth Archer said it 

would have three full days of 

competition, with more than 650 

athletes competing. Nga Puna 

Wai would also host the event in 

2020. 

Mr Archer was excited to show 

off the new facility. 

“The Canterbury athletics 

community are incredibly resilient 

and have continued to produce 

champions at all levels over 

this time – with a new, top class 

facility in town we see our sport 

going from strength to strength 

in Canterbury.” 

Nga Puna Wai would become a 

“key hub” for Tennis Canterbury, 

alongside its redeveloped Wilding 

Park. 

General manager Adam 

Gard’ner said it would make tennis 

more available and accessible, 

and allow it to meet the evolving 

needs of both casual play and 

competition. 

“We are already at bursting 

point with court requirements 

for interclub and various events, 

so the tennis facility at Nga Puna 

Wai will help us grow the current 

aspects of the sport.” 

Mr Gard’ner said after the 

quakes it had taken hard work 

from Tennis Canterbury and 

clubs to get facilities up and running 

again. 

“Nga Puna Wai embraces the 

new chapter in sport, where 

sports more and more are sharing 

spaces, resources and ideas, 

and continued thinking and 

practice on this will create some 

fantastic ideas for sports in the

future.” 

Canterbury Rugby League will 

be the last to move into the complex, 

with its fields ready for light 

usage in the 2019 season. 

Chief executive Shane Collins 

said it was “hugely exciting” and 

“well worth the wait”. 

“Without a shadow of a doubt 

this will be the best rugby league 

facility in New Zealand apart 

from the big ones like Mt Smart.” 

For years, Addington’s Rugby 

League Park was the sport’s home 

before the site was converted 

to AMI Stadium following the 

February quake. 

While rugby league had maintained 

its numbers since then, 

it had struggled due to a lack of 

quality playing fields and lighting, 

Ms Collins said. 

Last year’s 

premiership 

grand final 

was meant 

to be played 

at AMI 

Stadium, but 

it was pushed 

back a week 

due to severe 

flooding. 

The final’s 

day had to Shane Collins 

be played 

at Linfield Park - the home of 

Linwood rugby union. 

“That highlighted for rugby 

league for seven years we have 

done it hard,” Ms Collins said. 

But Nga Puna Wai would 

provide certainty and new opportunities, 

which could include 

having NRL teams play or train 

there, she said. 

“This is starting to create a new 

future for rugby league,” Ms Collins 

said. 

“In 10 or 20 years we’re going 

to see how significant this is.”

Bittersweet win for big band 

Musician dies 

day before 

concert 

• By Sophie Cornish 

THE ST ANDREW’S College 

big band had extra incentive to 

win at the National Youth Jazz 

Competition – bass player, Tom 

Fastier, collapsed and died the day 

before the competition began. 

“Tom was a bass player from 

Cashmere High School who was 

playing with our big band this 

year. He had a strong chance of 

winning best bass player at the 

festival as he was a very accomplished 

musician,” head of music 

Duncan Ferguson said. 

“We were delighted to win, but 

it was bittersweet,” he said. 

St Andrew’s won the most 

outstanding big band title at the 

competition in Tauranga. 

The band dedicated its set to 

Tom, who died while on his way 

to Cashmere High on March 27. 

His death was possibly related to 

a medical event. 

Mr Ferguson said schools 

sometimes share musicians 

to play instruments that they are 

lacking. 

SWEET SOUNDS: St Andrew’s College year 12 students Lewis 

Edmond and Jenna Wells performing at the 41st 

National Youth Jazz Competition. Right – Tom Fastier 

“For the first time in the 

festival’s history, organisers and 

judges allowed the band director/ 

teacher to play in place of Tom on 

the bass,” he said. 

St Andrew’s also won a combo 

silver award and a big band gold 

award. 

Serge Beaton won the Rodger 

Fox Trophy for the most outstanding 

trombonist and Angus 

Rainey won the Edwina Thorne 

Trophy for the most outstanding 

trumpet or flugel. 

Said competition director Liam 

Ryan: “We had a record number 

of registrations – 320 students 

from 21 secondary schools as 

far and wide as Christchurch 

and Wellington. Due to this we 

added an extra day to cater for 

the 18 combos and 14 big bands 

performing.” 


Plans reveal 

indoor 

learner’s pool 

• By Sophie Cornish and 

Julia Evans 

THE NEW Edgeware Pool will not 

look anything like it’s predecessor, 

new plans have revealed. 

Just-released designs for the $4.5 

million-$5 million project show 

the complex will include an indoor 

learner’s pool, which will be a major 

source of income for the facility. 

Initially the facility was set to have 

two heated outdoor pools – but the 

learner pool will move indoors, while 

the 25m pool will remain outside. 

The new designs also include a small 

gym, car park and outdoor area. 

The St Albans Pool and Pavilion 

group commissioned the plans from 

Apollo Design, the designers of QE 

II Park. 

Group spokesman Stephen 

Anderson said it is pleased with the 

plans and pricing. 

He said the indoor pool would 

add a revenue stream, as well as 

“mitigate any concerns” neighbours 

had with noise. 

The complex will have no operating 

cost for the ratepayer as it is an 

entirely community driven project. 

However, some community 

involvement in the form of volunteering 

when it first opens may be 

needed, Mr Anderson said.

Red zone plan 

Overgrown 

WATER quality and 

public access to the 

natural environment 

are the priorities in 

the development 

of a plan for future 

use of the Ōtākaro 

Avon River Corridor 

Regeneration Area. 

Regenerate Christchurch’s 

announcement is a 

demonstration of, and 

commitment to, bold 

environmental leadership. 

The importance of improving 

water quality has clearly been a 

key consideration, something 

that sits very well with our city 

council’s strategic directions. 

And it is absolutely what the 

people of Christchurch said they 

wanted – 83 per cent of people 

surveyed by Nielsen last year 

prioritised groundwater quality 

and 72 per cent prioritised water 

quality in rivers, streams, lakes 

and wetlands. 

The centrepiece is the 

Green Spine, which means 

11km of public walking and 

biking tracks from the city 

to the sea, with large areas of 

ecological restoration, wetlands, 

community spaces such as 

barbecue areas, coffee stops and 

access to the river. 

Lianne Dalziel 

I believe the city council will be 

able to proceed with this element 

of the proposal sooner rather 

than later, as there is money 

on the budget for stopbanks, 

wetlands and cycleways which 

can be oriented to this project. 

I’m sure the public reaction to 

the decision not to progress the 

golf course land swap and largescale 

housing, while allowing 

adaptable housing to be trialled, 

will be welcomed, as will the 

wetlands designed to clean the 

stormwater before it enters the 

river. 

Regenerate Christchurch will 

be hosting an exhibition and this 

will be your chance to have a 

final say before the regeneration 

plan is submitted for sign off. An 

announcement on the timing 

and venue will be made shortly.

weeds and 

vegetation on the Christ 

Church Cathedral site have 

been described as a “civic 

disgrace” by city councillor 

Deon Swiggs (right). 

Readers respond 

Lois Gage – I think the 

Cathedral is a total disgrace, not 

just the church and the square 

but to the cenotaph. It has been 

too long since we have been 

able to place our poppies and 

wreaths around the base of the 

cenotaph. I do know last year a 

few chosen were permitted to 

place wreaths on behalf of the 

citizens and RSA but that was 

not us. Enough is enough. The 

damn Cathedral is held together 

by sufficient bird poo that it is 

probably able to withstand more 

earthquakes than my house. If 

not then put in 

some containers so 

we can access our 

memorial. 

Peter Banens 

– You ask whether 

the Christ Church 

Cathedral site 

should be tidied 

up? Of course, it should. It is 

a disgrace. A leaf should have 

been taken out of the Catholic’s 

book. The Cathedral of the 

Blessed Sacrament site in Barbadoes 

St was tidied up soon after 

the earthquakes seven years ago. 

The Cathedral in the Square, being 

left open to the elements for 

seven years, is now a mess inside 

and outside. 

John Samson – It’s 

a bloody disgrace. Seven 

years and $850,000 

wasted on Regenerate 

Christchurch reports, 

delivery costings, 

‘engagement’ whatever 

that is. It’s a laughing 

stock, tourists must wonder in 

amazement why it is still in the 

state it’s in. Pathetic health and 

safety rules/compliance are a 

handbrake on common sense. 

Just get on with it. 

PHOTO: MARTIN HUNTER 

Robin W Williams – 

The derelict Cathedral site is a 

disgrace to Christchurch, and 

does not do brand Christchurch 

Inc any favours in regard to 

international and national 

tourism at all. 

The image presented is that 

Christchurch city is not open 

for business so no point 

visiting and no point any sports 

fixtures or events going to 

Christchurch. 

In other words, Christchurch 

is irrelevant. 

Some effort to tidy the 

surrounding area would create a 

different image altogether.

Time to resolve EQC claims 

ONE OF the most 

frustrating things for 

Earthquake Commission 

claimants over the last few 

years has been the high 

number of “re-repairs” – 

fix up jobs on EQC repairs 

that mean people have 

to go through the whole 

process again. 

Imagine waiting years 

to get your house fixed 

after the earthquake, going 

through the long process, 

only to find the repairs 

aren’t up to scratch and 

having to go through it all 

again. For people stuck in 

that situation it can feel like 

groundhog day. 

This scenario has been the 

reality for too many people 

in Canterbury – over 16,000 

people have had to call EQC 

back. The issues involved 

can be quite serious – 

inadequate scopes of work 

that mean the entire repair 

strategy is wrong or even 

major structural issues that 

have been missed. 

This was something I was 

very vocal about in opposition, 

urging the previous 

National Government to 

take the issue seriously. 

Sadly, those warnings look 

to have been ignored and it 

emerged last week that over 

$270 million has had to be 

spent fixing up botched 

repairs – far more than the 

$70 million they told us 

would be required. 

That’s simply not good 

enough and reinforces the 

need to get the resolving 

2600 or so outstanding EQC 

claims sorted so people can 

move on with their lives. 

That’s why I’ve appointed 

an independent ministerial 

adviser to help speed up the 

resolution of these claims. 

It’s also very important to 

underscore for people that 

all EQC repairs are guaranteed 

by the Crown – if 

they aren’t up to scratch, 

EQC and the Crown will 


put them right. No one has 

to worry that there won’t 

be enough money for them 

to get what they are fairly 

entitled to. That’s why last 

week I’ve asked Treasury 

to urgently forecast the 

remaining liability to the 

Crown. It’s important we 

can offer taxpayers a clear 

understanding of the actual 

costs of these issues. 

This issue will also form 

part of our independent 

inquiry into EQC so that we 

can learn the lessons of what’s 

gone wrong here to ensure 

we are better prepared for any 

future disasters. 

•Megan Woods is 

the Minister of Greater 

Christchurch Regeneration 

EVER wondered 

what your member of 

parliament does on 

the three days a week 

Parliament “sits” in 

Wellington? 

Although, the media 

tends to focus on question 

time because that’s the 

theatre of Parliament and 

the opportunity for the 

opposition to quiz the Government 

and hold them to 

account, question time is 

only one hour a day. The 

other seven hours of Parliament’s 

sitting time are taken 

up with making law. Parliament 

writes the legislation 

that runs the country. 

Although Parliament 

makes laws, it’s the judiciary, 

the judges and the 

courts, who interpret and 

apply them. And because 

we live in a democracy, 

every New Zealander has 

the opportunity to help 

make those laws. 

If you think we need a 

new law or a law change 

you can visit your MP 

and ask them to help you 

make that happen. They 

can either, contact the 

ministers and put your 

idea forward, or every 

MP can write their own 

Members Bill. It goes into 

LAW-MAKING: Ross 

Bell from the NZ 

Drug Foundation 

making a submission 

to the Health Select 

Committee on the 

Medicinal Cannabis 

Amendment Bill. 

a ballot, and if it drawn, is 

debated by Parliament. 

Some of New Zealand’s 

most interesting and controversial 

laws have come 

from a Members Bill. 

Louisa Wall’s Bill legalising 

same-sex marriage 

was passed in 2013 and 

presently David Seymour’s 

End of Life Choice Bill 

(concerning euthanasia) is 

going through the process. 


Nicky Wagner 


Your chance to make the law 

And that’s another 

chance for you to have 

your say. Every piece of 

legislation goes through 

the Select Committee 

process and is tested by a 

cross-party group of MPs, 

expert advisers and the 

public. If you feel strongly 

about something you can 

make a written submission 

to the Select Committee 

and you may even want to 

come and talk to the committee. 

Either way your 

evidence and ideas will be 

included in the process. 

Parliament is all about 

representing the interests 

of the people of New Zealand 

so it’s important that 

as many of us as possible 

engage with the process to 

make sure that everyone’s 

voice is heard.

Our People 


Blair Jackson 

New gallery director driven by 

Blair Jackson is the 

new director of the 

Christchurch Art Gallery 

after Jenny Harper 

stepped down after 11 

years. He talks to Julia 

Evans about the new 

job 


What does a ‘normal’ day 

look like for you after taking 

over as the director of the art 

gallery? 

At the moment, there’s not 

really such a thing as a normal 

day. But my role in the gallery 

is really about setting the direction 

and strategic focus for this 

institution. It’s all about working 

with a team because it’s not just 

the director that makes this place 

what it is, it’s a team of staff. The 

director’s role is to lead that team 

and set out a plan for the future 

of the gallery, which includes 

developing shows, public programmes 

and the collection. 

Was working in art galleries, 

and becoming a director, a goal 

for you? 

Like a lot of steps in life, things 

happen and you take that path 

and they lead you some else that 

you may not have considered. 

So certainly when I went to art 

school, I never considered that I 

might end up being a gallery director. 

But I’ve spent a lot of time 

working in galleries now, probably 

worked in different galleries 

for the last 25 to 30 years so it’s 

the right role for me at the moment. 

At a certain point, when I 

realised I was better at working 

in a gallery than making it myself, 

my focused changed. 

You went to art school? What 

was your medium? 

I went through the Canterbury 

University Fine Arts programme, 

through the painting department. 

Did you want to be the next 

big name in painting when you 

left university? 

I never had any thoughts about 

being somebody famous in terms 

of being an artist. I don’t think 

anybody leaves art school with 

that intention or even having had 

that thought. I certainly don’t 

know anyone who left art school 

thinking that way. In fact, you 

step outside of art school and its 

just the beginning all over again. 

Have you always been into art? 

Of course, it’s one of those 

things that has always driven me. 

Art and music, film. Just the arts 

in general. It’s the world where 

I’ve spent my whole life. But it’s 

hard to remember when it started. 

I think it came because you get 

good at drawing in the classroom 

and other kids notice you’re good 

so they get you to draw things 

for them, until you realise you’re 

quite good at drawing yourself. It 

just grew from there. 

What are your other hobbies? 

I enjoy music a lot. I’m an avid 

music listener and I enjoy live 

music and bands. I collect music 

on vinyl. It’s a really eclectic 

catalogue. My record collection 

ranges from interesting 

stuff from the 60s through to 

contemporary stuff and a lot of 

New Zealand music. I started 

university in the 1980s so there 

was certainly a Flying Nun factor 

in my life, I also spent 10 years in 

Dunedin. But I also like sound 

and more experimental music. 

What was the last live band 

and last film you saw? Any good 

recommendations. 

The last live band was The 

National at Villa Maria in 

Auckland. It was really great, 

they were excellent. But the last 

film, I can’t actually remember. I 

haven’t really had a chance to go 

to the movies lately, it’s mostly 

been Netflix at home when I

HUNTER 

get a chance. The last television 

series we watched on Netflix was 

Requiem, it was quite good actually. 

A little bit of a supernatural 

thriller. To be honest, in the last 

few months with applying for a 

new job films and television have 

taken a bit of a back seat. 

Can you tell me a little bit 

about your family? 

I’m married. I have a wife, 

Kim, who is a community support 

worker here in Christchurch. 

We have two children who 

have both left home now, they’re 

both living in Wellington. One 

daughter who is in her fourth 

and final year of her fine arts 

degree at Massey University and 

our son, who has just started 

his first year at Victoria doing 

a music degree. There’s a lot of 

creative flair, them more so. 

What have been some highlights 

of your career in the art 

world and in galleries? 

There are a lot. We change our 

exhibitions every 16-or-so weeks. 

One of the best experiences was 

when we reopened the gallery 

after being closed for five years 

since the earthquake back in December 

2015. Just the response 

that people had to the shows and 

the range of new art works, a 

lot of which people hadn’t seen 

before that we’d been collected 

during that period of closure. 

Just that warmth and response 

that the community had and we 

received. Just the happiness for 

everyone when the gallery reopened 

was pretty amazing. I’ve 

also enjoyed how the community 

came together to help us acquire 

some amazing works of art 

including a work by renowned 

artist Ron Mueck.



a love of art 

In terms of art in 

Christchurch, how important 

has it been to the city following 

the earthquakes? 

I think about it as hard to 

imagine the city without the 

art and without the creative 

response that grew from 

the earthquakes. In fact, its 

completely unimaginable to 

think about the city if that hadn’t 

happened, it would be pretty 

bleak and desolate, so I think 

that makes it hugely important. 

It was hugely important to me 

and my family staying in the 

city after. The art and the gallery 

made us want to stay and I hope 

it had a similar effect on other 

people. 

Are there any artists and 

exhibitions you’ve got your eye 

on now that you’re director? 

We’ve got a plan in place about 

the exhibitions and how they’ll 

change and how we’ll move them 

for the next two years. We are 

always planning two to five years 

out. We’re always looking at the 

work that the art’s community 

is making. Our focus is local, 

national and international and it 

grows out like that. The gallery 

fulfils a number of roles and we 

operate on a number of levels. 

We have a collection that has 

a strong local focus. But we’re 

showing local art, national art 

and sometimes international art. 

It’s important to bring national 

and international work into 

exhibition in the city. The building 

offers multiple gallery spaces. 

So you can have something 

that’s quite challenging next to 

something quite familiar. We 

want people to have a range of 

art experiences when they step 

into the building. 

Do you have any particular 

personal goals you’ve set 

yourself with the new job? 

The goal for me is to carry on 

the good work that this gallery 

has done. There’s been a range 

of amazing moments in this 

gallery’s history. My main goal 

is to build our audiences back up 

again to where they were before

campaign. 

the earthquake and build a real 

sense of community for this 

space. 

And I hear the art gallery has 

an important birthday coming 

up, what celebrations are 

planned? 

In May the gallery in this 

building turns 15. We threw a 

10th birthday party in the middle 

of town while we were closed. 

We thought we’d mark this 

occasion with an event called 15, 

which we’re starting to market 

now. It’ll be open to the public 

on May 4, coinciding with an 

opening by local artist, Tony de 

Lautour. An exhibition of his 

work and a publication that’s being 

published about Tony’s work. 

There will be a whole range of 

activities in the gallery from 

about 7pm at night, including 

bands and DJs and art making, 

food trucks, a cash bar. It’ll be 

a great party to celebrate the 

occasion. We’ve done a couple 

of events like it over the last few 

years. We try to do one a year. 

They’re really exciting and fun 

and the whole evening is about 

people having an art experience 

and meeting their friends over 

a range of activities. The last 

one we did, we had about 3000 

people. 

HAZARD: Coastal-Burwood Ward city councillor David East 

wants WorkSafe New Zealand to put pressure on the Hawke 

St car park owners to fix the dangerous potholes.

WorkSafe told of 

car park potholes 

• By Sophie Cornish 

WORKSAFE NEW Zealand 

has been approached in a bid 

to finally repair the potholes in 

New Brighton’s Hawke St car 

park. 

Coastal-Burwood Ward city 

councillor David East wants 

WorkSafe to pressure the car 

park’s private owners into 

repairing the potholes which are 

a “trip and vehicle” hazard. 

WorkSafe chief inspector 

assessments southern Darren 

Handforth said it may be able to 

take action under the Health and 

Safety at Work Act 2015, “as a 

person conducting a business or 

undertaking.” 

Mr Handforth said WorkSafe 

is aware of the concerns raised 

by Cr East about the car park. 

“WorkSafe has completed 

an assessment visit to the site 

and is engaging with the owner 

to advise them that it is their 

responsibility to manage their 

risks appropriately.” 

Different parts of the car park 

are owned by various people 

and the Coastal-Burwood 

Community Board recently 

wrote to them about its concerns 

around health and safety. 

Cr East said the biggest issue 

in the past has been getting in 

touch with the landlords and 

owners and getting them to 

agree to anything. 

“The board appreciates that 

multi-ownership of the parking 

space may present a difficulty in 

co-ordinating repair/resurfacing 

but felt obliged to pass these 

concerns onto you,” said the 

letter. 

One reply has been received so 

far from an owner who is willing 

to discuss the issue. However, all 

the owners would have to agree 

to undertake work. 

Cr East said there had been 

a “number of incidences” in 

the car park of people injuring 

themselves which had gone 

unreported. 

“I’ve always thought that it 

has been quite amazing that we 

haven’t had any serious accidents 

or senior citizens perhaps 

tripping in those potholes and 

doing themselves some damage.” 

He is confident the new 

approach will bring results. 

“I think the WorkSafe 

involvement may prove to be the 

lever that we are looking for.”

•From page 19 

Gay Goodman – I think 

the area around the Cathedral 

is an absolute disgrace. Months 

ago when I had overseas visitors 

in town and we went to look at 

our very sad Cathedral, I was 

astounded at the weeds and gorse 

that was growing. I know it is 

cornered off but weed sprayers 

have guns that spray a long way 

and these could have been kept 

at bay and, although it’s broken 

all around, the building at least 

would look a little bit loved. The 

city council or the church surely 

want a huge rocket to get it tidy. 

It’s disgusting. 

Christine Robertson – Here 

is my 10 cents worth regarding 

the Cathedral. I feel even though 

I grew up with this beautiful 

building, in today’s world it 

doesn’t seem needed as much. 

When this subject first came up 

to rebuild, fix or demolish, one 

of my brothers, who incidentally 

has lived in Australia for 30-odd 

years, moaned to me that it 

should be rebuilt. I disagreed and 

I still do. 

The Cathedral of the Blessed 

Sacrament was also munted in 

the same earthquake, but you 

don’t see them moaning. The 

problem is we, the people of 

the eastern suburbs have been 

stuffed around for so long, over 

houses and streets, we have had 

enough. So instead of all the 

winging about the Cathedral, 

do something about it that is 

actually worthwhile. 

Martin Dixon – The 

Cathedral is a mess and I don’t 

like going near it or bringing 

visitors when it is such an 

eyesore. It would only take a few 

days of hard work (wearing hard 

hats) to make the grounds look 

more presentable. It is depressing 

for the people of Christchurch 

when it is meant to be uplifting. 

Sue Gray – My husband 

and I visited the Christ Church 

Cathedral last year and I was appalled 

at the state of the grounds 

around it. Gorse of all things 

and much, much more. I was 

ashamed at the sight of it. It’s 

enough to see the Cathedral 

deteriorating by the day, let 

alone the area surrounding it. As 

Christchurch residents, we have 

not returned to the site. Why 

379-3589 

379-3589 

would we? Who wants to be 

reminded of how inadequate our 

council is. Get on with it. Clean it 

up. Please. 

A city council report has 

revealed the cost of fixing 

the city’s water supply 

could come in at $21.5 

million 

Cherry Cornelius – We pay 

to fix a church but cannot have 

safe drinking water, we allow 

China to take good drinking 

water while we drink poison in 

the form of chlorine. Something 

isn’t right. 

Kim Scott – Why isn’t the 

city council managing the water 

bottling plant in Belfast rather 

than allowing a foreign company 

to make the profits? 

Peter Osborne – This is 

not about well heads, it’s the 

city council not keeping up with 

the infrastructure under the 

ground. With damaged pipes 

and no money to fix it properly, 

they have been lucky to get some 

excuses handed to them for not 

doing the maintenance. 

Hamish Middleton – Will 

the city council enforce chlorination 

of bottled water as surely the 

risk is apparent for their aquifers 

as well? No, didn’t think so.

ADVICE with 

Want a lush, green lawn come spring? A little TLC now goes a long 

way to ensuring it will be in top form. If you are growing a new lawn, 

now is the perfect time to sow it as soil is warmer and germination 

will be more successful. For established lawns, remember that a 

thriving lawn needs regular maintenance and fertilising. Tackle any 

repair or patching tasks now for best results. 

We have a Daltons Premium Lawn Care Pack to giveaway 

which contains everything you need to care for your lawn! 

Each pack is valued at $80 and contains: 

QUESTION 

I have a front lawn where the grass in the centre has died and even with 

lots of watering is not growing back. Around the edges it’s growing and 

bright green, but not in the large area in the middle. I want to repair the 

lawn myself, rather than completely redo it. Can you please give me 

advice on the what, when, how, and with what products I should use to

ANSWER 

From your description, it would appear that there is fungal growth in your lawn, probably 

fusarium, which occurs when temperatures and humidity are high. The disease fi rst 

appears as small irregular patches of yellow grass which later turn brown and die. 

We suggest waiting for a few weeks before removing the soil from the infected area and then spreading clean 

topsoil over that area. Then sow with a mix of grasses eg: rye, fescue, or brown top. Mixing the grass species will 

ensure the lawn is looking healthy all 12 months of the year. Continue to irrigate your existing lawn until late April 

as now is excellent time for lawn growth.

Cool autumn weather is best for planting 

AUTUMN DAYS herald a 

change towards cooler weather, 

the soil stays moist and there’s 

colour everywhere. 

It can also be the best season 

for planting, because new plants 

have time to settle in before 

they’re faced with their first 

summer. 

Fertilising 

Spread organic pellets around 

shrubs and flowerbeds. 

Feed citrus and other fruit 

trees with citrus food. 

Clear away weeds and grass 

at the base and spread a layer of 

organic mulch over the root area 

(keeping well clear of the trunk). 

Remember, feeding with 

high potash fertilisers encourages 

blooming and, even more 

importantly, builds plants’ resistance 

to disease (essential at this 

time of year when fungal problems 

are rife). 

Lawn care 

Give lawns a feed with a longlasting 

fertiliser. Early autumn 

is the ideal time to rejuvenate 

tired lawns. Spike with a fork or 

a purpose-designed lawn aerator 

and oversow with a lawn seed 

blend. 

Pest control 

Watch out for the autumn 

influx of caterpillars. 

White moths and butterflies 

attack cabbages, cauliflowers, 

rocket and their relatives, vine 

moth caterpillars are demolishing 

grape leaves, flax caterpillar 

is stripping leaf sections of 

leaves, leaf rollers are knitting 

leaves and emerging to graze on 

apples, feijoas and other fruit. 

Use low toxic options for 

controlling most caterpillars. 

Grass grubs and porina, too, can 

destroy lawns. 

Treat weeds 

Many annual weeds are 

approaching maturity and 

should be removed before 

they have the chance to 

spread their seeds. 

Other autumn tasks 

Prune the hydrangea stems 

that flowered last summer. 

Reduce clusters of camellia 

buds to one per stem. 

Divide perennial plants and 

spread to other parts of the garden. 

After their leaves have fallen, 

spray deciduous fruit trees (eg 

peaches) with a copper fungicide. 

Good coverage will clean up 

the remains of summer pests 

and diseases. Move cold-sensitive 

container plants into more 

shelter. 

PROTECT: Spray peach trees 

with a copper fungicide when the 

leaves have fallen.

Smashing ocean views on Grand 

• By Mike Yardley 

EXPUNGING MYSELF from 

the sprawling suburban straggle 

of south Sydney, Royal National 

Park’s verdant embrace of bushland 

soon beckoned. 

I was en-route to the South 

Coast on the Grand Pacific 

Drive, a 138km short-and-sweet 

touring route that winds you 

through the world’s second oldest 

national park, (established in 

1879) before skirting the booming 

coastline of the Pacific, bursting 

with smashing ocean views. 

On entering the park, I 

stopped at Audley, where the 

boat shed on the Hacking River 

was doing a brisk trade, while 

hordes of families enjoyed a 

weekend riverside picnic under 

the leafy shade of specimen trees. 

It’s a storybook setting. 

The road through the park 

is a scenic medley, switching 

from exposed coastal heathland 

to dense upland forests of red 

gums and eucalyptus. Walking 

trails abound, leading you out to 

sandstone cliffs, rocky ledges and 

striking formations like Eagle 

Rock. 

Listen carefully, and you’re 

bound to hear some laughing 

kookaburras in these parts. 

Emerging from the forest, an 

unmissable stop on the Grand 

Pacific Drive is Bald Hill Lookout. 

Globally acclaimed as a hang 

gliding mecca, my heart was in 

my mouth, watching in awe as 

gliders hurtled themselves off the 

cliffs. With my feet firmly staying 

on the ground, the sweeping 

views across the ocean and undulating 

South Coast terrain will 

soon fill your Instagram feed. 

Strictly speaking, this is Illawarra 

country, and I wended 

my way through a clutch of 

characterful coastal villages 

towards Wollongong, starting 

with Stanwell Park. Just out of 

Coalcliff, the great headliner of 

the drive shuffled into view – the 

Sea Cliff Bridge. 

Hugging the coastline between 

Coalcliff and Clifton, this cantilevered 

offshore bridge spans 

655m, mounted on pylons thrust 

deep into the seabed, away from 

the rockface. 

Opened in 2005, it’s a sterling

piece of road engineering, best 

explored on foot. At the south 

end of the bridge, a roadside carpark 

enables you to park up and 

take a wander along the bridge’s 

pedestrian lane. It twists and 

turns, shadowing the contours of 

the towering rockface, while the 

ocean churns below.

Pacific Drive south of Sydney 

After feeling positively uplifted 

by the bridge walk, I tootled my 

way through more picturesque 

coastal villages, like Wombarra, 

Austinmer and Bulli, before 

enjoying a spot of lunch in Wollongong. 

If you’re a fan of Spanish fare, 

I highly recommend Bull n Bear, 

a relaxed but sophisticated affair 

in Victoria St. Their Churros are 

to die for. 

Wollongong was abuzz with 

sun-seekers and surfers, flocking 

to its golden fringes. After 

surveying the spectacular vistas 

from Flagstaff Hill, I was back in 

the car for my final hop south to 

Kiama. 

Just 30min south of Wollongong, 

Kiama is your classic 

coastal escape, a gentle little 

seaside siren that has beckoned 

travellers, since the first trains 

rolled into town in the 1880s. 

Norfolk island pines tower 

gracefully above its streets that 

are lined with a trove of fabulously 

preserved heritage buildings. 

A star specimen is The Terrace, 

a quaint collection of impeccably 

maintained terrace houses on 

Collins St, that now host a clutch 

of boutique shops, craft studios 

and eateries. Originally built 

as housing for the local quarry 

SCENERY: Basalt walls and columns are a feature of Bombo. Right – Kiama is a classic coastal escape, a star specimen is The 

Terrace, a quaint collection of impeccably maintained terrace houses on Collins St. 

workers in the 19th-century, 

The Terrace is adjoined by the 

Sandstone Walk, where more 

heritage buildings have also been 

repurposed by independent traders. 

But the undisputed starring 

attraction is the Kiama Blowhole. 

This sprawling rock formation, 

just 5min walk from the mainstreet, 

catapults surging ocean 

water 20m up in the air. If you 

strike it lucky and time your visit 

with a southeasterly swell, she 

sure blows. 

The land meets the sea in 

dramatic fashion at Kiama, 

where nine golden fringes of 

beach are sprinkled around the 

town’s edges. I adored traversing 

the waterfront paths that hug 

the shoreline, particularly from 

Blowhole Point, adorned with its 

creamy lighthouse, around the 

harbour and all the way north to 

Bombo Beach, where the headland 

is littered with a moonscape 

of basalt walls and columns.

Upgrade makes Subaru 

Outback more desirable 

• By Ross Kiddie 

I LIKE it when people take 

my advice when they are 

considering a new car. 

That happened just 

recently, a work colleague 

provided me with a choice 

of vehicles she was thinking 

of buying and we went 

through an elimination 

process deciding what was 

best suited for her needs. 

After driving a Subaru 

XV – an Impreza-based 

crossover wagon – she 

decided that was the car for 

her. I was delighted, the XV 

is a value-packaged model 

built to high quality standards 

and its four-wheeldrive 

platform is a major 

safety ingredient. 

In the XVs case, it is also 

a handy cross-country 

challenger, it is certainly a 

remarkable all-round vehicle 

and I’ve often likened 

it to being Subaru’s best 

kept secret. 

This evaluation doesn’t 

focus on the XV, instead 

it encompasses another 

handy off-road vehicle 

from the Subaru stable – 

the Outback. The Outback 

is like a larger XV, it is a 

true station wagon with 

suspension raised for that 

outback journey, if you’ll 

pardon the pun. 

Instead of Impreza-based, 

the Outback sits on the 

Legacy platform, it is a large 

car at 4.8m and arrives here 

in two specifications with 

two engine variants – the 

traditional horizontallyopposed 

four-cylinder unit 

(2.5-litre) or a 3.6-litre flatsix. 

I’m due for the latter in 

a few weeks’ time, however, 

the 2498cc unit is far from 

disgraced and would probably 

be my choice if I was 

ever in a position to buy a 

new Subaru. 

Because it has high 

ground clearance (213mm), 

the Outback has suspension 

absolutely delightful 

in terms of rut and bump 

absorption, it floats over 

those crazy Christchurch 

roads and affords a luxury 

ride. 

In Premium form, the 

Outback lists at $49,990, 

for that money it gets a full 

complement of specification, 

full leather, heated 

seats, electric sunroof and 

satellite navigation, just 

to name a few of the key 

items. 

It must also be noted that 

almost all of Subaru’s range 

now gets the clever camerabased 

Eyesight safety technology 

which incorporates 

a host of driver assistance 

modules so that the car is 

kept out of trouble in the 

SUBARU OUTBACK: Versatile all-road wagon. 

first instance. The latter has 

had a further upgrade with 

new features incorporated 

into it. 

I didn’t take the test 

car off-road, the hot, dry 

conditions throughout 

our Canterbury summer 

created too much fire 

danger for my liking, but 

I can report that in previous 

drives of the Outback 

off-the-beaten-track, it is 

vastly capable, taking into 

account its driver-activated 

X-mode and hill descent 

control. 

• Price – Subaru 

Outback Premium, 

$49,990 

• Dimensions – 

Length, 4820mm; 

width, 1840mm; 

height, 1675mm 

• Configuration – 

Four-cylinder, fourwheel-drive, 

2498cc, 

129kW, 235Nm, sixstep 

automatic. 

• Performance – 

0-100km/h, 9.1.sec 

• Fuel usage – 

7.3l/100km 


However, I did drive 

through many shingle 

backroads and it is in its 

element on the rough corrugations, 

it has directional 

steering and extraordinary 

control on loose surfaces. 

The tyres are an all-road 

Bridgestone compound 

(225/60 x 18in) and they 

perform well in low grip 

situations. They are also 

quiet at highway speed and 

provide solid feedback to 

the steering wheel when 

presented with a bit of a 

sealed surface corning challenge. 

As mentioned, under the 

bonnet sits a boxer engine. 

This has been Subaru’s 

trademark design for at 

least the last 30 years. It 

is rated at 129kW and 

235Nm, both outputs 

realised at usable points of 

the rev band – 5800rpm 

and 4000rpm. 

Drive is through a sixstep 

continuously variable 

transmission, between the 

two elements there is a 

smooth transition of power 

and a seamless ratio which 

means the engine is constantly 

near its maximum 

torque delivery. 

In terms of acceleration 

the Outback in this form 

will make 100km/h from a 

standstill in 9.1sec, and will 

scamper through a highway 

overtake in 5sec, the latter 

delightful with a strong 

surge of power through the 

mid-range. Also featuring 

on the Outback is the 

Subaru system of performance 

drive modes, there 

are three different settings, 

all controlled by steering 

wheel-mounted buttons, 

each has its own affect on 

how the engine behaves. 

In recent years Subaru 

has been hugely active in 

lowering the fuel consumption 

figures in each of its 

models. Today the Outback 

is rated with a 7.3-litre per 

100km (39mpg) combined 

cycle average. The dash 

panel readout was listing 

constantly at 8.3l/100km 

(34mpg) during my time 

with the test car, along with 

a 6l/100km (47mpg) figure 

sitting at a steady 100km/h 

(engine speed 1600rpm). 

Together, all of these figures 

represent good reading, 

the Outback 2.5 has solid 

power and good economy, 

a hard equation to get right 

in engine design. 

A few years ago Subaru 

made the decision to abandon 

the Legacy wagon; I 

wondered at the time if that 

was a good decision, however, 

as time as served to 

prove, the Outback wagon 

has certainly filled the void, 

and it offers just that something 

extra special in terms 

of all-round capability. 

However, if that is a 

vehicle which is just a fraction 

too big for a buying 

decision, check out the XV, 

it has similar credentials, 

packaged just that little bit 

smaller.

Now 

Bennett drama will spark Broncos – Kearney 

STEPHEN KEARNEY and his 

former mentor Wayne Bennett 

are seeing how the other half live 

in 2018. 

In contrast to previous 

seasons, Kearney has been 

inundated with praise following 

the Warriors unbeaten start 

to the year, while Bennett has 

been in the headlines for all the 

wrong reasons after Brisbane’s 

2-3 start to the season and his 

verbal battle with Knights coach 

Nathan Brown. 

Even though the Broncos are 

10 rungs below the Warriors on 

the ladder, Kearney told NRL. 

com the Warriors are preparing 

for a bounce-back from Brisbane 

in Auckland on Saturday night. 

Kearney believes the Broncos 

will not only respond from 

their 15-10 loss to Newcastle 

with an improved performance 

but possibly their best of the 

year, citing Bennett as the main 

reason. 

“What I do know is Wayne will 


have them prepared,” he said. 

“I thought they performed 

pretty well last week against the 

Knights without a great deal 

of luck. From an attitude point 

of view, I know he will have 

them coming here with real 

commitment and determination 

so we are expecting their best 

game of footy and we will 

prepare as such. 

“They’re a football club that’s 

always going to turn up ready 

to play and expect nothing less 

from them this week.” 

Five-eighth Blake Green 

is adamant the Warriors will 

have to be “even better than 

last week” if they are to extend 

their winning streak to six 

– something the club hasn’t 

achieved since 2002, a year in 

which the Daniel Andersoncoached 

side made the grandfinal. 

“There are lots of areas we 

still want to improve on, we 

are certainly not the finished 

2018 NRL 



product we would like to be at 

the moment, so we will continue 

to work hard,” Green said. 

While Green and Shaun 

Johnson have been earning rave 

reviews for their efforts in the 

opening five rounds, the same 

can’t be said about the Brisbane 

halves. 

Anthony Milford and Kodi 

Nikorima have not found their 

groove this season, but Green felt 

it was a matter of when, not if, 

that combination starts to fire.

Golf no putter for Buist 

• By Gordon Findlater 

DEANE Buist driving 

a BDA Escort is 

synonymous with the 

Otago Classic Rally. 

However, it won’t be the 

case this weekend. 

He will be there, but 

behind the wheel of a Mk 

II Volkswagen Golf GTi, a 

car not commonly associated 

with rallying in New 

Zealand. 

“I wanted to build 

another two-wheel-drive 

classic car and to build 

another rear-wheel-drive 

car you’re probably going 

to spend the same or more 

than an Escort but it’s 

probably not going to be as 

good,” said Buist. 

Once set on the idea of 

returning to front-wheeldrive 

the decision was 

made easy to build the 

Golf after discovering he 

could acquire a donor Golf 

for extra parts for “two fish 

and a scoop.” 

The Christchurch driver 

ran the Golf in its first 

event at the Westland 

Rally last month, finishing 

13th overall and second 

in his class. He says the 

plan is to do a few more 

events in the car before 

potentially upgrading the 

engine. 

“It won’t be as fast as the 

RARE SIGHT: Deane Buist’s new Volkswagen Golf 

GTi will make Otago Classic Rally debut at the 

weekend. 

Escort . . . our theory is 

to get the VW to handle 

and stop really well,” said 

Buist. 

“Eventually the idea is to 

try and make it as fast as a 

good Escort.” 

Buist is a one-time winner 

of the Otago Classic 

Rally in 2007 driving a 

Escort. This year he will 

start fourth on the road 

behind Norwegian World 

Rally Championship star 

Mads Østberg, Regan Ross 

and three time winner 

Derek Ayson – all driving 

Escorts. 

While the appearance 

of Buist won’t be met with 

signature scream of a BDA 

engine this weekend. He 

believes his new build can 

also be a fan favourite. 

“There’s actually a bit of 

a following for them funnily 

enough. A few people 

have rung up saying they 

can’t wait to see it. I think 

it’s just good to see something 

different,” 

Golfs have had some 

success in New Zealand 

in the 1980s. Kenneth 

Eriksson finished second 

at Rally New Zealand in a 

works Golf in 1987. 

The Otago Classic Rally 

will be held over two days 

beginning Saturday. It 

is also the first round of 

the national championship. 

Canterbury drivers 

Hayden Paddon and Matt 

Summerfield will be the 

first two cars on the road.



Highlanders face Brumbies, Crusaders bye 

• By Steve Hepburn 

THE HIGHLANDERS will get 

back to work this week, knowing 

what is in front of them and their 

destiny is still in their hands. 

The side had its second bye 

in seven weeks during the last 

round, while the Crusaders take 

this week off. 

Now the Highlanders get 

ready to take on the Brumbies in 

Dunedin on Saturday night. 

A few years ago teams 

would get four points for a 

bye. If that was still the case, 

the Highlanders would be 

still be behind the three New 

Zealand teams above them – 

the Hurricanes, Crusaders and 

Chiefs. 

What is becoming clear in 

this competition is the games 

between the four New Zealand 

teams still in the reckoning are 

going to be very important. 

So far the Highlanders have 

bagged a win and two losses 

against the other three teams. 

They next meet a New Zealand 

team when they face the Blues 

on April 20 at Eden Park. 

The Blues could still get in the 

play-offs but, then again, there 

could be peace in the Middle 

East – they have been all over the 

place but must be due for a good 

performance. 

The Crusaders now lead the 

New Zealand conference after 

beating the Jaguares at the 

weekend. 

They get their first bye this 

week, while the two New 

Zealand teams below them 

clash at Westpac Stadium in 

Wellington 

The Brumbies will arrive in 

Dunedin fresh off a come-frombehind 

win over the Reds in 

Canberra. 

The Brumbies last played at 

Forsyth Barr Stadium five years 

ago, when they won.

NEW LISTINGS 

What you need to know 

about open homes when 

you’re selling a property 

As Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern 

recently commented while visiting a 

family in Samoa, there is nowhere more 

sacred than your home. Welcoming 

visitors is one thing, opening it up to 

complete strangers is another situation 

entirely. 

When you’re selling a property you 

get to decide how the open home 

process is run. If you’re working with 

a real estate agent, this is will be part of 

the marketing plan that you agree upon 

with them before you sign the agency 

agreement. The real estate agent will 

advise you on the timing and frequency 

of open homes, or any other viewings. 

If there is anything you are uncertain 

about, talk to the agent and make your 

feelings clear. There’s no law that you 

have to have open homes – you may 

decide that you’d rather have viewings 

by appointment only. 

“Bear in mind though that in order 

to sell your home, people will have to 

see it,” says Kevin Lampen-Smith, chief 

executive of the Real Estate Authority 

(REA). “You may have to be flexible on 

when viewings are held, even if they are 

not particularly convenient.” 

If you are selling privately, you have 

full responsibility for running any 

viewings. This can be time-consuming 

and has the potential to be distressing if 

you’re not braced to hear other people’s 

criticisms of your property. Some 

private sellers get a friend to help out 

for this reason. 

When it comes to the marketing 

and selling process of your home it’s a 

good idea to look at things from the 

perspective of the real estate agent and 

any prospective purchaser, Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“Open homes often attract people 

who are just browsing to see what’s 

around, or neighbours who have 

always wanted to see what ‘that house at 

number 10’ is like. The agent will report 

back to you after the open home to let 

you know the level of interest – if they 

have kept an electronic or paper record 

of visitors it will give you an indication 

of how many visitors were sticky beaks

from down the street.” 

In an ideal world, people will treat 

your home with respect when viewing 

it, he says. 

“If you suspect they will need 

reminding, request that the agent asks 

visitors to remove any wet weather gear 

or shoes before entering. Most people 

go on a major cleaning, tidying and 

de-cluttering mission before putting 

a property on the market, which will 

make it much easier to prepare it for 

an open home. It’s a good idea to clear 

away any valuables or personal items 

(if time is short, dump them all in a 

washing basket that you can pick up 

and take with you) and use your own 

common sense about what you want 

strangers to see.” 

Don’t shove things into cupboards 

or wardrobes – prospective buyers 

will be keen to gauge storage capacity. 

Remember that families with small 

children could be going through your 

property and delicate ornaments or 

family heirlooms might be better out of 

harm’s way. 

Selling a property can be a stressful 

time, but you’ll make it much easier 

on yourself if you work out a plan of 

attack, including getting the advice of 

professionals along the way, Lampen- 

Smith says. 

“Present your home well and it’s more 

likely to attract another set of owners.”

The Canterbury Steam Preservation 

Society is holding a Steam 

Extravaganza on the Weekend of 

14th and 15th April on McLeans 

Island Road behind the Airport. 

This is regarded as the No. 1 Steam 

Event in New Zealand with more 

than 25 steam driven vehicles 

present. 

The Society is responsible for 

preserving our heritage with coal 

and wood fired boilers that produce 

steam. People can see how shiny 

pistons drive rods and fly wheels that 

are linked together to turn steam into 

power. 

Working demonstrations will be 

held wet or fine between 10am and 

2pm because they are in purposely 

built buildings. There will be 

sawmilling and sheep shearing 

inside. Other demonstrations will be 

threshing of grain crops, and stone 

crushers all driven by steam engines. 

At a previous event the comment 

was made – “surely people couldn’t do 

that work all day”. 

One of the major features this year 

will be the Model Railway which is 20 

metres long. Come and have a look at 

this Railway complete with sound and 

scenery. 

There is a free train ride which loops 

1.5 km around the property with two

what is going on around you. 

Another major attraction is the 

Museum which has a number of steam 

engines quietly ticking over. 

There is plenty of memorability on 

display. If the day is wet this is the 

perfect place to be. 

Children can be entertained by 

riding on the miniature train at a cost 

of $2. 

There will be plenty of food stalls but 

no Eftpos and dogs are not allowed. 

Entry fee is $15 per adult, Children 

under 15 are free. 

Come and enjoy the smoke and the 

smells from all the steam engines. 

To the older generation this brings 

back so many memories and for the 

younger ones it will show how these 

machines worked once upon a time. 

Gates will be open at 9am.

MEDIA FREEDOM – 

CHRISTCHURCH MOSAIC 

ART GROUP 

Mosaics have been discovered 

from far back as the third century 

BC. A mosaic is a piece of art or 

an image made from many small 

pieces of coloured glass, stone, or 

other materials. It is often used 

in decorative art or as interior 

decoration. Media Freedom 

demonstrates that there really 

are no limits to the media that a 

mosaicist can use to create pieces 

of art. Glass, ceramic, porcelain, 

stone, slate, beads, and clay are 

just some of the many materials 

used. Entry to this exhibition is 

free, with many pieces available 

for purchase.

STREET ART WALKING 

TOUR 

Street art tells the story of 

Christchurch, including what 

it is, what it was before the 

earthquakes, and what it can 

be. Whether you’re a visitor or 

local, the street art tour will 

change your perspective on how 

you see the city. You’ll be shown 

things big and small and see how 

Christchurch has emerged as a 

“street art capital” in the 

Lonely Planet street art-only 

guide book. Find out about 

the artists and the inspiration 

behind each work. Proceeds 

from the tour go back into a 

charitable trust to keep our street 

art resources free and available 

online. Adults cost $24 and 

children are free. 

Meet in front of the 

Canterbury Museum

COMMUNITY 

PARTICIPATION IN CITY- 

MAKING 

There is a lot of interest in how 

communities can be more 

involved in helping to revive 

and remake public spaces, 

buildings and parks. So how 

can we facilitate community 

participation in public space 

and architecture projects? 

In this free public lecture, 

award-winning architects from 

Spektrum Architects in Denmark 

will present their approach to 

co-creation and participatory 

practice, and share some of 

their superb projects with the 

audience. They have worked with 

a broad range of people, including 

communities with very limited 

budgets, and have achieved 

stunning results through the use 

of community consultation. Free 

admission.
