SPICY AUSSIES 

TOO MUCH FOR 

SOME KIWIS 

• By Tara Shaskey 

TWO Australian sports 

stars dancing in their undies 

provoked more complaints 

from TV viewers than any 

other. 

The commercial ad 

complained about the most 

to the Advertising Standards 

Authority was a Tradie 

workwear campaign featuring 

Australian freestyle skier 

Danielle Scott dancing in front 

of rugby union player Nick 

‘Honey Badger’ Cummins. 

The eight complainants 

said the ad was offensive, 

objectified women and was 

not appropriate for children. 

But the Advertising Standards 

Authority complaints board 

dismissed their gripes, ruling 

the scene showing Cummins 

using a leaf blower while he 

and Scott were dressed in their 

underwear did not reach the 

threshold to cause serious 

offence.

Cruise 

ship 

buses 

impact 

on rates 

RATEPAYERS are bearing the 

financial burden of transporting 

cruise ship passengers from 

Lyttelton into the central city. 

It has led Environment 

Canterbury, which operates the 

city’s public bus services, to warn 

it is likely to cost ratepayers a 

minimum of $500,000 more next 

cruise ship season with passenger 

numbers increasing by 30 per 

cent. 

The warning comes as the city 

council grapples with its planned 

general rates rise of 7.88 per 

cent, up from the 5.68 per cent 

projected in March. It is hoped 

cost cutting will get the increase 

down to just over 6 per cent when 

the rates are set later this month. 

Cruise ship passengers 

swamped public buses in Lyttelton 

and on the return trip from the 

central city during the summer, 

angering other bus users who 

couldn’t get seats. 

ECan reacted to the outcry by 

putting on more buses to meet the 

demand at a time when there were 

driver shortages. 

Seventy-nine cruise ships 

berthed at Lyttelton during the 

season, including the massive 

Ovation of the Seas.

The most complained-about 

non-commercial ad was Te 

Whatu Ora/Health New 

Zealand’s Vaccinate for Life 

print campaign which got 29 

complaints. 

Complainants told the 

authority the statement “Protect 

them for life. Immunise” in 

the context of advertising 

for the Covid-19 vaccine was 

misleading. 

The complaints board upheld 

the objections and ordered the ad 

to be removed or not used again 

in its then-current form. 

The board found it implied 

a child would have life-long 

protection from Covid if 

vaccinated, which was not true. 

The health agency’s National 

Immunisation Programme went 

on to apologise for any confusion 

or concern the ad may have 

caused. 

Other non-commercial ads 

to gain the most upset from 

audiences were the Voices 

for Freedom pamphlets 

discouraging mask use and 

Te Whatu Ora/Health New 

Zealand’s “Stick it to Hep C” 

campaign which featured a 

middle finger gesture. 

The board upheld the 20 

complaints regarding the Voices 

for Freedom pamphlets but 

the 18 objections to the Stick it 

to Hep C promotion were not 

upheld on appeal. 

The ads that garnered 

the most grumblings were 

revealed in the Advertising 

Standards Authority’s 2022 

annual report. 

It showed the authority dealt 

with 843 complaints about 345 

advertisements, a decline from 

previous years. 

In 2021 there were 1245 

complaints, concerning 570 ads, 

Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz 

Mt Hutt set to open after cold snap 

MT HUTT is set to open 

tomorrow after last weekend’s 

snowfall, which has ski field 

operators in the South Island 

excited about the season ahead. 

The snow has also sparked a 

warning to adventurers heading 

into the backcountry that 

the risk of larger avalanches is 

expected to be higher this year. 

Twenty centimetres of snow 

fell on Mt Hutt, Coronet Peak 

and the Remarkables over the 

long weekend. 

NZSki chief executive Paul 

Anderson said they managed 

24 to 48 hours of snow making 

on top of that so the trails were 

building up nicely. 

He was excited for the season 

ahead. 

“Even last year, we actually 

eclipsed pre-pandemic levels. 

Last year was a really busy 

year for the Southern Lakes 

mountains so the four mountains 

down here, including 

our friends over in Wānaka, 

eclipsed a million skier visits for 

the very first time, and I think it 

will be like that again this year.” 

Applications for seasonal 

roles were back at pre-pandemic 

levels following the return of 

working holiday visa holders 

and skilled workers. 

The main challenge has been 

finding enough accommodation 

for them in Methven and 

Queenstown. 

While skiers and snowboarders 

were expected to hit the resorts 

in their droves this season, 

others will be looking to explore 

the backcountry. 

Mountain Safety Council chief 

executive Mike Daisley said a lot 

of people access the backcountry 

Covid, hep C ads feature 

STICK IT: The middle-finger gesture used in Te Whatu Ora’s 

hepatitis C public health campaign. 

and in 2020, 1151 complaints 

were lodged about 591 ads. 

Last year 143 of the ads were 

deemed to have a case to answer 

and 102 were either changed or 

removed. 

Advertising Standards 

Authority chief executive Hilary 

Souter was delighted with the 

voluntary compliance rate of 

96 per cent with respect to the 

authority’s upheld decisions. 

Of the small number that did 

through the ski fields. 

He urged people heading into 

the backcountry to check the 

avalanche advisory forecast, go 

with someone experienced if 

they were new, have the right 

equipment and know how to 

use it. 

The council was preparing 

for a more extreme avalanche 

season than usual with much 

of last month’s snow sticking 

around. 

Other ski fields in the South 

Island are expected to open 

later this month. – RNZ 

not comply, she said those were 

generally cases of advertisercontrolled 

distribution, such as 

pamphlet drops. 

“From time to time, it’s hard 

for us to get confirmation 

from those companies or 

organisations that the ads have 

been removed and we can’t prove 

that they’re not 

going to do it 

again,” Souter 

said. 

She said the 

reason for 

last year’s 

reduced 

number of 

complaints was 

Hilary 

the pandemic 

Souter 

and the general 

election prompting a higher 

volume in preceding years. 

Advocacy advertisements 

– non-commercial ads from 

consumer groups, Government 

or political parties, and those 

promoting public health or safety 

messages – were most commonly 

complained about and made up 

29 per cent of cases. 

Seven complaints about the 

“inappropriate” placement of an 

ad featuring the horror movie 

The Black Phone was the second 

most complained about in the 

commercial category and was 

upheld by the board.

In Brief 

Controversial feed 

barn plan dropped 

A controversial bid to house 

2200 cattle in barns on 

Banks Peninsula has been 

withdrawn. Wongan Hills Ltd 

was seeking resource consent 

from Environment Canterbury 

to operate four composting 

feed barns in Kaituna Valley, 

near Birdlings Flat. The 

application attracted 128 public 

submissions, most of which 

opposed the plan. A Wongan 

Hills Ltd spokesperson said it 

will now focus on developing 

barns at alternative sites. 

$1 million donation 

for youth hub 

A purpose-built youth hub in 

the central city is a step closer to 

being finished after a $1 million 

donation from the Wayne 

Francis Charitable Trust. Youth 

Hub Christchurch is being built 

at 109 Salisbury St and will 

include 22 supported housing 

units for young people aged 16 to 

24. Other major funders include 

Anglican Care, which gifted 

the central city site to the hub, 

and the Government, which 

contributed $18.1 million to the 

project. 

New city mission 

base set to open 

Christchurch City Mission is 

set to officially open its new $11 

million redeveloped base today. 

The official opening will be 

attended by Mayor Phil Mauger 

and take place in the upstairs 

office of the new foodbank 

and warehouse building at 275 

Hereford St. The building will be 

blessed and dedicated by Bishop 

of Christchurch Peter Carrell 

and Bishop of Te Waipounamu 

Richard Wallace.

UC students 

to miss 

out on party 

• By Daniel Alvey 

CANTERBURY University 

students will be not be able to 

attend a popular student event 

in Lincoln this year. 

Lincoln University Students 

Association president Amy 

Wells said the annual end of 

lectures Garden Party will be 

replaced with a Lawn Party – 

and only Lincoln University 

students can attend the event. 

In a video message to 

students, Wells said she was 

“gutted” to see the event 

changed. 

She said due to factors 

outside of LUSA’s control it 

has “been forced” to make the 

changes. 

UC hosts a similar event 

called the Tea Party, which only 

allows students from UC to 

attend. 

University of Canterbury 

Students’ Association 

president Pierce Crowley said 

the Garden Party had been a 

popular event for UC students 

and it was unfortunate some 

will miss out. 

“I think UC students are a 

benefit to the event. Lincoln 

University has made this

Principals support vaping crackdown 

while youth say ‘it’s all around us’ 

• By Anna Sargent 

SCHOOL PRINCIPALS are 

backing the Government’s 

crackdown on youth vaping, but 

say more needs to be done to 

combat what they are calling a 

crisis. 

From August, all vapes sold 

will need removable or replaceable 

batteries – effectively banning 

disposable vapes. 

New vape shops cannot be set 

up within 300 metres of schools 

or marae. 

The Government is also 

outlawing flavour names such as 

“strawberry jelly donut” to make 

them less attractive to children. 

Minister of Health Ayesha 

Verrall said too many teenagers 

were vaping and the restrictions 

would have a big impact on the 

number taking up the habit. 

But young people spoken to in 

the central city were not so sure. 

“I think young people will still 

be able to get them even with all 

of those measures . . . vapes are at 

every dairy on every corner and 

you can order them online, it’s 

all around us,” one teenager said. 

“I think teenagers will still 

find a way to get it, because it’s 

teenagers and they always do, 

PHOTO: 

GETTY 

but hopefully they can stop little 

kids from getting hold of them,” 

another said. 

The latest figures show youth 

vaping is increasing. 

A recent survey by ASH New 

Zealand found daily vaping 

among 13- to 14-year-olds had 

shot up by 209 per cent. 

Ministry of Health statistics 

showed the number of 15- to 

17-year-olds who vaped every 

day had quadrupled in three 

years, from two per cent in 2018- 

19 to eight per cent in 2021-22. 

Principals Federation president 

Leanne Otene said it was not 

just a problem for high schools – 

intermediates across the country, 

including hers, were dealing with 

it every day and teachers were 

feeling powerless. 

“It’s definitely hard to police 

because it doesn’t leave an odour, 

it can be done in corners and 

it’s not something like smoking 

where it was easily detectable. 

“There was some discussion 

about putting vaping detectors 

in schools but that’s just not possible, 

it’s just too expensive to do 

that.” 

Otene said anything to make 

vaping less attractive to kids was 

a positive step. 

“The mere fact that vaping 

comes in bubblegum and fruit 

flavours begs the question of 

who is this marketed to. The

announcement . . . about flavour 

names is a real indication that 

the Government realises vaping 

is directed at our young people 

in terms of its sale and purchase. 

“Vaping was originally a way 

to help people give up smoking, 

no one considered that our 

young people would take it up 

with such voracity,” she said. 

Otene said vaping was particularly 

a problem for Māori youth. 

“Statistics show a high percentage 

of Māori boys, 28 per 

cent are vaping, and our Māori 

girls are at 39 per cent, so it is a 

problem for Māori. If we can get 

it away from our marae, all the 

better.” 

Verrall said the restrictions 

struck a balance between 

preventing young people from 

starting to vape, while still 

helping adults to quit smoking 

cigarettes.

• By Tony Simons 

A PROPERTY developer, who 

was banned from directing or 

managing companies for fourand-a 

half-years, is associated with 

a new subdivision in Redcliffs. 

Timothy Robert Archibald, who 

has previously been bankrupt, 

may soon be involved with the 

new 19-section 

subdivision at 

McCormacks Bay 

near the bottom 

of Glenstrae Rd. 

In 2018 

Archibald was 

banned by the 

Timothy 

Archibald 

NZ Companies 

Office for acting 

recklessly with 

respect to the 

management of three failed 

companies, which had bought 

property in Lyttelton, owing 

creditors hundreds of thousands 

of dollars. 

The ban ended in April but 

not before an Archibald family 

company, Gaba Holdings Ltd, 

with his wife Belinda and son Guy 

as sole directors, sought approval 

to build the subdivision. 

The resource consent 

application is dated September 

2021 and the company contact/ 

trustee named on the application 

is Tim Archibald. 

Belinda said her husband’s 

Businessman back after ban 

PROJECT: The location of the planned Gaba Holdings 

Ltd subdivision looking towards Glenstrae Rd, with 

McCormacks Bay in the distance. 

name and phone number were 

put on the consent application 

by mistake by a resource 

management consultant acting for 

the company. 

When banning Archibald, 

deputy registrar of companies 

Peter Barker said at the time 

“[he] gave no consideration to the 

interests of the companies or their 

creditors and did not understand 

the nature of transactions 

between related companies [and] 

the mismanagement was at a basic 

and fundamental level. I consider 

Mr Archibald poses a serious risk 

to the public”. 

Since the ban was imposed 

Archibald has continued to 

promote himself on his Facebook 

page, Tim Archibald Property 

Developer, posting tips on real 

estate and property investment. 

Archibald told The Star the 

Gaba Holdings Ltd subdivision 

would be built on family land and 

a consent was in process. He said 

all the sections will be residential 

sites. 

Asked if he was looking after 

the project for the company, he 

said: “Yes, I will be, once we see 

what the council approves and 

where we go with it, but I am not a 

director with the company, just a 

family member.” 

When asked about his ban 

he said: “Really I don’t want to 

go down this track or make any 

comment. This is a bit of an unfair 

phone call really.” 

He then passed the phone to 

Belinda. She said her husband has 

not been involved with running 

Gaba Holdings Ltd in any way. 

Said Belinda: “Tim has nothing 

to do with running or managing 

the company but has just been 

helping the family out.” 

When approached, the resource 

management consultant told The 

Star: “It seems one of us has made 

a mistake (of putting Archibald on 

the application) because all the old 

plans and correspondence have 

got Gaba Holdings on them, but 

I don’t know that I made it. My 

instructions have all come from 

Bindi [Belinda].” 

The consultant said he told the 

company which prepared and 

signed the consent application 

that Archibald represented Gaba 

Holdings Ltd when “it should 

have been Bindi”. 

“I co-ordinated the consultants 

to do the consent, but I didn’t 

prepare it,” he said. 

The principal surveyor for the 

consultant company confirmed 

to The Star it had prepared and 

signed the consent application. 

“In regard to that subdivision, 

we can’t discuss clients as that 

is not something we can do 

if we want to keep clients,” he 

said. 

A city council spokesperson 

said the consent application is on 

hold pending further information 

on geotechnical matters and 

whether or not notification 

is required. An initial report 

by TerraForma Geotechnical 

identified multiple hazards on 

the Glenstrae Rd site, including 

erosion, rockfall and instability. 

However, it said design measures 

could be put in place to mitigate 

the risks involved. 

Ministry of Business, 

Innovation and Employment 

manager, integrity and 

enforcement, Vanessa 

Cook, confirmed the ban on 

Archibald prevented him from 

being a company director or 

participating in the management 

of any company. It was imposed 

because he was involved in the 

management of two or more 

companies that failed within a 

five-year period and he managed 

those companies in a manner that 

made him responsible for their 

failure. 

Said Cook: “Should there 

be any information regarding 

Mr Archibald breaching the 

provisions of his prohibition, 

complaints can be lodged with 

MBIE’s integrity and enforcement 

team via the Companies Office 

website. 

“The integrity and enforcement 

team does not comment on 

ongoing assessments.” 

A company search shows 

Archibald has been a director 

of 41 companies since 1983. The 

records show he was removed as a 

director from all of them.

Rangiora homicide: Murder accused 

appears in court, name kept secret 

• By Sam Sherwood 

A MAN accused of murdering 

Richard Leman, whose body was 

found inside a parked car, has 

appeared in court and will keep 

his identity secret for now. 

Leman’s body was found inside 

his own car, parked in a garage 

in Tyler St, Rangiora, on April 

17. Police then began a homicide 

inquiry. 

On Saturday morning police 

raided a property on Oxford 

Rd, Rangiora, and arrested a 

46-year-old man. The man has 

since been charged with murdering 

Leman. 

On Monday, the man appeared 

in the district court before Judge 

Stephen O’Driscoll. 

Through his counsel, Ethan 

Huda, the man applied for 

interim name suppression of 

name and any particulars likely 

to identify him, which was 

granted. He was remanded in 

custody until June 23 for his first 

appearance in the High Court. 

According to court documents 

the man allegedly murdered Leman, 

41, on April 11 in Rangiora. 

Leman’s family earlier said Leman 

was last seen at a shopping 

centre in Rangiora at 8.20pm on 

April 11. 

INVESTIGATION: Police made door-to-door checks in Rangiora as part of the homicide 

investigation into the death of Richard Leman (left). PHOTO: GEORGE HEARD/NZ HERALD 

The man spoke twice in the 

hearing, once to confirm he 

could hear the judge, and then 

gave the judge his full name. 

Leman’s sister, Nicky Leman, 

told the NZ Herald after the 

man’s arrest that the last seven 

weeks since her brother first 

went missing had been “total 

fear”. 

“I haven’t been sleeping, I’ve 

been getting up throughout the 

night checking my windows and 

doors and making sure all my 

children are in bed safe it’s like 

I have not been sleeping. We’re 

all like that, we’re all a mess, all 

of us. 

“We had no idea what was 

going on because the police 

don’t tell you anything because 

they’ve got an investigation to 

do and then you don’t want to 

know because you don’t want to 

jeopardise anything, so it’s been 

a catch-22 situation, we want to 

know but then we don’t because 

we don’t want to compromise 

anything. If we talk to the wrong 

person we don’t want anything 

compromised because we want 

justice for Richard. 

“It’s such a hard thing . . . that 

is why today was a relief, first 

thing this morning it was a relief 

to get told they’d made an arrest.” 

Leman was a beloved brother, 

son, and father to three boys “his 

babies”, Nicky Leman said. 

“He was a funny guy, he made 

us laugh when we were down, he 

put a smile on our face. That was 

just Richard.” 

She said the family had “no 

clue” as to why someone would 

want to harm Leman. 

“Richard was friends with 

everybody, that was how he was. 

If you were down, you could’ve 

been a complete stranger and if 

you were on the side of the road 

and if you were upset or crying 

or whatever, he would stop 

and say ‘Are you alright?’ and 

give you a hug and say ‘is there 

anything I can do to help you’. 

That’s the kind of guy he was. 

“Everyone was Richard’s 

friend, it was like he had an 

infectious personality where 

you just wanted to be around 

him.” 

Nicky Leman said her parents 

were “not coping at all”. The 

couple had also lost their oldest 

child to leukemia, she said. 

“I can’t come to terms with it, 

this is my little brother . . . every 

time I think about it I start to 

cry.” 

She said the police had done an 

“amazing job” throughout their 

investigation. 

“I think the police are 

amazing. They’ve been brilliant 

with my parents, because my 

parents are elderly and they’re 

very unwell, and just the way 

they’ve handled everything, I 

can’t speak highly enough of 

them.”

Exhibition features rare 

and quirky treasures 

AN UNUSUAL selection of rare, 

exquisite, extravagant – and even 

curiously ordinary – objects 

has been handpicked for a new 

exhibition. 

Ship Nails and Tail Feathers is a 

collaborative exhibition showcasing 

treasures from the historic 

– and very different – collections 

of Christchurch Art Gallery and 

Canterbury Museum. 

Said art gallery 

director Blair 

Jackson: “Ship Nails 

and Tail Feathers 

combines functional 

objects, art 

Blair 

Jackson 

and adornments, 

ideas and history. 

In combining the 

gallery and Canterbury 

Museum collections, it provides 

a rare and rich experience 

for all curious visitors. 

“When brought together, (the 

items) tell fascinating stories 

about how people lived and what 

they valued, provoking thought 

and discussion about what that 

Sarah 

Murray 

might mean to us in 

the here and now.” 

Canterbury 

Museum acting 

director Sarah 

Murray said the 

museum was 

thrilled to be 

collaborating 

with the gallery 

in showcasing more than 100 

treasures from New Zealand, the 

Pacific and around the world. 

“From navigational 

instruments, whaling-era relics 

and Chinese shadow puppets to 

extraordinary plumage, delicate 

watercolours and Edwardian 

showstoppers, this is a wonderful 

and surprising collection of 

taonga thoughtfully displayed in 

a series of themes,” Murray said. 

• The exhibition runs 

from June 10 – October 3 

and will be introduced by 

curators Ken Hall, Hatesa 

Seumanutafa and Peter 

Vangioni in a free talk on 

Saturday at 11am 


Proposals sought for 

Performing Arts Precinct 

OPPORTUNITY: The city council is seeking proposals to 

develop a Gloucester St site that will form part of the 

Performing Arts Precinct. 

PHOTO: NEWSLINE 

THOSE WHO want to be 

part of the city’s Performing 

Arts Precinct now have the 

opportunity to secure a 

prominent site in the heart of the 

development. 

The city council is requesting 

proposals from organisations 

which can develop a 2081sq m 

section of land at 129 Gloucester 

St. 

Said city council head of city 

growth and property Bruce 

Rendall: “If you’ve got an exciting 

operation that will help 

make Christchurch the leading 

performing arts centre in the 

country, this block of land offers 

the perfect home for it.” 

“The passion is out there – and 

this process will help us find the 

ideal candidate to take this piece 

of land and make it their own.” 

The precinct is bringing 

together a variety of venues to 

support a wide range of performing 

arts. 

Alongside The Court Theatre, 

which is currently under construction 

for a 2024 opening, 

the Performing Arts Precinct 

contains the Isaac Theatre Royal 

and The Piano: Centre for Music 

and the Arts. 

The city council is also working 

with the Christchurch School 

of Music on a proposal for the 

land located beside the Crowne 

Plaza Hotel on Armagh St. 

“The site we have available 

fronts onto Gloucester St, as well 

as the western lane beside The 

Court Theatre and the central 

courtyard to the north, so is wellsuited 

to hosting an active and 

attractive ground floor space,” 

Rendall said. 

The city council envisions 

granting a long-term lease for 

the land but will consider other 

options on a case-by-case basis. 

The land was acquired 

by the Crown in 2020 and 

transferred to the city council 

for the designated purpose of the 

precinct. 

In 2022, councillors decided 

against selling the land for a car 

park and instead voted to retain 

the land so that the city council 

could explore other uses for it.

Chch-made game 

an international hit 

Folic acid to go 

in bread flour 

FOLIC ACID will be added to 

bread-making flour from August, 

to prevent devastating birth 

defects that can result in death or 

lifelong disability. 

Fortifying bread and other 

food staples with folic acid is safe 

and has significantly reduced 

birth defects of the brain, spine, 

or spinal cord in other countries 

including the United States, 

Canada and Australia, says the 

Ministry of Health. 

“Consuming folic acid just 

before conception and early on 

during the pregnancy is vital to 

protecting babies from the risk of 

major birth defects such as spina 

bifida, but as just over half of 

pregnancies in New Zealand are 

unplanned, many people will not 

be taking folic acid supplements 

during this critical time,” deputy 

director of public health Dr Harriette 

Carr said. 

“Folate is naturally present in 

many foods. Folic acid fortification 

restores what is lost during 

processing such as flour milling. 

It is an internationally wellaccepted 

and safe approach to 

supporting the development of 

babies during pregnancy.” 

It is a breakthrough for New 

Zealand’s medical and scientific 

communities and patient 

advocates, who were despondent 

after plans to add folic acid to 

bread in 2009 were upended by 

industry opposition claiming 

possible risks from “mass 

medication”. 

New Zealand’s Ministry 

for Primary Industries in 

2019 estimated that up to 

171 pregnancies affected by a 

neural tube defect could have 

been prevented in the decade 

after 2009, had mandatory 

fortification of bread gone 

ahead. More than half of such 

pregnancies are terminated or 

result in stillbirths.

CHRISTCHURCH game 

developers Black Salt have been 

blown away by the reception its 

game Dredge has received, with 

notable reviewers raving about 

the game’s appeal. 

PlayStation Universe called 

it “a dreadfully enticing horror 

experience”, scoring the game a 

9/10. “Kept me hooked” wrote 

the Guardian’s critic, while 

Bloody Disgusting gave Dredge 

5/5, proclaiming the game to be 

“one of the most exciting indie 

titles in years”. 

Dredge now occupies the top 

1 per cent of the market sold on 

Steam, a highly popular platform 

for gamers worldwide, with 

over 120 million active users. 

More than half a million people 

have played the game in the 

first month of its release. 

“You know, we knew we had 

a good game on our hands. We 

just didn’t imagine it would go 

as widely as it has,” said Black 

Salt chief executive Nadia Thorn. 

“It’s a very well polished product, 

really well polished game 

and well executed in what it’s 

trying to be.” 

Thorn said a lot of games were 

released too early and failed 

from game-breaking bugs, 

frustrating gamers and stopping 

them from getting fully involved 

in the game. 

“With Dredge, you’re really 

able to immerse yourself into it 

and it turns out that it caters for 

a wide array of players,” she said. 

Dredge began as an idea 

by the development team’s 

programmer, to make what are 

often small side missions involving 

fish, into a more compelling 

story. 

“It was always going to be 

primarily a fishing game, and 

that did remain a big theme 

throughout development, but 

it evolved into a much more 

exploration and mystery focused 

game,” said Dredge’s programmer 

and writer Joel Mason. 

Mason had never written for a 

video game before. 

He said while it was a big 

challenge, he did enjoy giving 

the story a creepy, eldritch 

feeling, especially in his 

descriptions of the strange sea 

creatures inhabiting the world of 

the game.

Ultimate playground to open 

NINJA VALLEY - The Ultimate 

Playground – is bringing its successful 

brand of active family entertainment 

to the Bush Inn Centre with a launch 

planned for September 2023. 

The 3500sqm space will 

feature more than 30 different 

physical activities 

and challenges for all ages 

from 2+ and will include 65 

trampolines, ninja courses, 

climbing walls and towers, a 

4-section high ropes course, 

dodgeball, a massive donut slide into airbag, 

a 4-level playground for little ninjas, 

a virtual reality component, café, parties 

and a few other surprises. 

Co-founder Grant Beuzeval is excited 

about bringing Ninja Valley, a New Zealand 

owned business, to Christchurch. 

“We wanted to play a positive role in 

this rapidly developing city. The vibe and 

energy is very obvious in 

Christchurch and we hope 

to tap into it and expand 

our community – the Ninja 

Nation. 

“After some deliberation, 

we chose the Bush Inn 

Centre based on the size and 

shape available, the energy 

and vision of the property management 

team and the proximity to a wide range of 

family-friendly food and beverage outlets. 

“We feel like we can compliment our 

neighbours at the Bush Inn.”

Readers react to last week’s 

article about the controversial 

Park Tce cycleway. Due to 

space not all letters could be 

published. 

Please rip up that cycleway, would be 

much better for the money involved to be 

spent on the potholes in the roads. What a 

waste of time and money and appalling the 

way it was implemented. It is a nightmare 

for motorists. 

- Robyn and David Lee 

We had been watching the above development 

over the past months and none 

of us could fathom what was happening. 

We would never have guessed the disaster 

that was completed; morning congestion 

backed up past Carlton Mill, bus stop in 

the middle of the road . . . more congestion, 

confusing, muddled, unclear and 

unsightly . . . so many bollards of different 

colours, unnecessary speed bumps, it’s 

30km, now nowhere for tourist buses. All 

must be removed. 

- Nicola Cuder 

The cycleway looks great and functional 

and still allows two way traffic; winner 

for all. There is a climate crisis, which has 

been officially declared. Time to ditch the 

cars more often and try biking. It is fun, 

safe and guilt-free. Plus it would have cost 

a fortune to have the cycleway built. Don’t 

waste taxpayers’ money. Put the funds into 

the east or community-focused initiatives. 

- Stephen Field 

I am surprised this cycleway needed to 

be installed. Surely there is enough space 

on the shared path that follows the river 

from Carlton Corner to Rolleston Ave. I 

use this path and roadway (Park Tce) at 

least three times a week. 

- Rosalie Gunn 

I love the new cycleway on Rolleston 

Ave. In my opinion, it is the best one 

in Christchurch because it is not over 

engineered and the whole space of 

the cycleway goes to cyclists and not 

unnecessary kerbing. It is perfectly safe 

as well. I wish they were all done like 

this one. Other cycleways are too narrow 

because of the kerbing to pass other 

cyclists safely, which is really annoying 

considering how much space they take 

up. I really think they got this ‘temporary’ 

cycleway right. 

- Sharon Williams 

My partner and I have found the new 

cycle path on Park Tce to be so user 

friendly and safe without all the concrete 

kerbing that is usually used. We use it daily 

on our bike rides if the weather permits. 

We always take the same route around the 

park and then along Park Tce and have 

had many near mishaps as walkers and 

dogs are usually all over the place on the 

old shared pathway. Hopefully, the new 

cycleway will stay as it is. So many cyclists 

are using it from what I’ve seen since it’s 

been in place.

Yet ‘more anti-car road design’ or 

• From page 14 

I agree that the cycleway in 

Park Tce should be removed. 

The anti-car road design people 

at the city council have already 

managed to ‘stuff up’ half 

the roads in Christchurch. A 

prime example is Craven Rd 

in Upper Riccarton, where the 

installation of an unnecessarily 

wide cycleway has made the 

roadway so narrow that two cars 

can barely get past each other 

without scraping the paint off 

their sides - with not a cyclist in 

sight. 

- Ivan Hansen 

I am disappointed to hear 

that the Mayor and several 

councillors requested a vote 

to remove the new Park Tce 

cycleway. Despite numerous 

claims of “we are not against 

cycleways, but . . .” when the 

council rolls out quick, lowcost 

cycling infrastructure, 

they continue to whinge. This 

cycleway provides safer travel 

to school and work for many, 

gives pedestrians back their 

footpath and will help reduce 

Christchurch’s emissions from 

vehicle exhausts. 

- Peter Galbraith 

As a frequent user of the 

shared cycleway/pedestrian 

path in front of the botanical 

gardens leading onto Park Tce, I 

applauded the new cycleway as 

it instantly stopped the unsafe 

situation in this busy area. For 

a few councillors who want the 

new system torn up out of petty 

politics and points scoring is 

really quite outrageous. They will 

no doubt cite the cost of the new 

cycleway, conveniently forgetting 

the tens of thousands they want 

to spend ripping it up without 

looking at how much better the 

area is now. 

- Lindsay James 

I am certainly against 

this ridiculous cycleway along 

Park Tce. There shouldn’t be 

any more cycleways anywhere 

around this city and certainly 

not without council consultation. 

It is time someone stood up 

to the bureaucrats in the city 

council and realised that the 

peoples’ elected council members 

are those who should always be 

consulted for decisions about 

any money spent, not some office 

person. 

- Mel Rose 

The Park Tce cycleway should 

have never been put down – it 

needs to go. There are more 

important things ratepayers’ 

money needs to be spent on. We

don’t need any more cycleways. 

Fix the city and surrounding 

suburbs up first before wasting 

money on cycleways. 

- Graeme Clyde 

As a regular cycle commuter, 

this trial is great as the current 

situation with an overloaded 

shared path was becoming 

unsafe. With the uptake of 

e-bikes it is no longer safe on 

very popular cycling links to mix 

with pedestrians. This cycleway 

solves this in a really simple and 

low-cost manner. 

- Richard Hayman 

I am an aged 80 e-bike cyclist, 

so I have a vested interest in 

the development of safe cycling 

facilities around the city. However, 

I think there is no need for 

the Park Tce cycleway, as there 

is a cycleway parallel through 

Hagley Park and a footpath 

right beside the road that could 

easily be designated a footpath/ 

cycleway with the addition of a 

few cycling/walking symbols. 

- Kathleen Anderson 

The new cycleway along 

Rolleston Ave and Park Tce 

is great and should absolutely 

remain in place. As an e-scooter 

user, a walker and driver in the 

area, I am happy with the changes 

from each and all of these perspectives. 

I’m disappointed that 

it is being politicised by certain 

councillors when there is a clear 

benefit for our local community. 

I for one was aware of the project 

being promoted in March prior 

to it being installed, and I feel 

there is very little excuse for our 

elected leaders to plead ignorance 

here. 

- Andrew Douglas-Clifford 

As a cyclist who uses 

the cycleway every day for 

commuting, I’d like to let you 

know I absolutely love using 

the cycleway on Park Tce and 

Rolleston Ave.

Skip the Chemicals: Judy Bailey’s Favourite Joint Cream ADVERTISEMENT 

KORU NUTRITION 

Entering her seventh decade, 

TV icon Judy Bailey is still as 

active as ever. 

Judy loves walking the 

dog, playing with her 

grandchildren, and tramping 

in the Coromandel. 

When she heard about a 

natural New Zealand joint 

cream, her curiosity was 

piqued but her journalistic 

instinct also instilled a sense 

of skepticism. 

“We were traveling to the 

Coromandel and my foot was 

giving me its usual trouble… 

and I thought, oh, I’ve got 

some Koru FX Pro in my bag.” 

Fortunately for Judy, it didn’t 

take long to feel the difference, 

“I rubbed it in and noticed it 

almost instantaneously!” 

“And what was even more 

impressive was that the effect 

seemed to be really longlasting. 

I didn’t have to apply 

it again that day.” 

Koru FX Pro is a blend full 

of natural essential oils and 

native ingredients like manuka 

oil, eucalyptus, and extracts of 

arnica. 

Being a journalist, Judy is 

naturally cautious when it 

comes to new products: “I’m 

always a bit skeptical about 

these things… I thought, ‘Oh, 

yes, another cream…’” 

In order to gain a deeper 

understanding of Koru FX 

Pro, Judy was invited to Koru 

Nutrition’s facility to witness 

the production process. She 

expressed her astonishment, 

saying, “I was surprised by 

how much of these top-quality 

essential oils go into these 

products. I was expecting a 

few drops, but that’s why it 

works – because it’s full of 

really top-quality oils.” 

“I do think Koru FX Pro is 

a great product but don’t take 

my word for it… I recommend 

you try it for yourself to see if 

it’s right for you.” 

Benefits of Koru FX Pro: 

Having its fast-acting 

and long-lasting effects 

documented over a long a 

period of time, it comes as no 

surprise that Koru FX is New 

Zealand’s #1 joint support

cream in pharmacies. 

Over 60,913 New 

Zealanders are recommending 

Koru FX as an alternative to 

traditional gels that contain 

nasty synthetic chemicals and 

finding the results speak for 

themselves. 

And as Judy highlighted... 

“It doesn’t make you smell 

like a rugby changing room!”

safe, efficient and future friendly? 

As someone who drives Park 

Tce and Rolleston Ave every day, 

I could not be more impressed 

with the new road layout and 

the efficiency with which it was 

completed. The new layout saves 

cyclists having to come on to 

the road during commute times 

when the pathway is also very 

busy with pedestrians. This allows 

people commuting to and 

from work and school, such as 

myself, to have a safe combination 

of all means of transportation. 

- Anna Rumbold 

The Park Terrace and Rolleston 

Ave cycleway should absolutely 

stay. It provides a great, safe route 

for the many cyclists who ride 

through the area. The options 

before were to ride on the narrow 

footpath/shared path and get in 

the way of the large numbers of 

pedestrians, or ride on the road 

and risk being close passed by vehicles 

because there wasn’t even a 

painted cycle lane there before. 

- Jono Dewit 

I’m a regular driver and cyclist 

around Christchurch and I fully 

support the cycleway on Park 

Tce. Cycle infrastructure like 

this makes getting around much 

easier and safer for cyclists and 

as a result reduces the number 

of cars on the roads, making it 

easier for drivers to get around 

too. Win-win. 

- Michael Plank 

I am disappointed to see the 

behaviour of some councillors; in 

my view, it was easy to see what 

the plans were before it was built 

– if they had bothered to read 

their daily briefing. This cycleway 

is great – cheap, quick and effective. 

The shared path was never 

fit for purpose, too narrow for the 

centre city, nor was Park Tce, way 

too wide for the inner city with 

little traffic to use it. There have 

very clearly been no issues with 

traffic as a result. This cycleway 

is great and I hope we see more 

like it. 

- Jack Halliday 

It’s imperative that the Park 

Tce cycleway stay and become 

permanent. This is a dangerous 

part of town for cyclists 

and pedestrians, who must be 

prioritised in road safety because 

they are vulnerable. Christchurch 

needs to move on from private 

vehicle transport. It is appalling 

that some city councillors 

are looking to undermine due 

process, led by a mayor who is 

backward thinking. 

- Beatrice Cheer 

Yet another council over-engineered 

expensive exercise that 

has provided no more cycling 

access than before, just cluttered 

up Park Tce. I wonder when the 

cycling zealots in the city council 

will wake up to the reality that 

the over engineering of approved 

cycleways is not necessary and is 

a waste of ratepayers taxes. 

- John Cumberpatch 

It’s absolutely disgraceful 

that Mauger and his councillor 

friends want to tear up a perfectly 

good cycleway. They have plenty 

of cheek to complain about ‘due 

process’ being the reason to 

remove it, while also failing to 

follow due process by notifying 

the community board of the 

survey. Separate lanes for cycling 

so that bikes and cars can share a 

road safely are good for everyone. 

We have to reduce emissions urgently, 

and increasing cycling is 

an easy, healthy, and positive way 

to do this. Use some common 

sense, Mauger. 

- Aurora Garner-Randolph 

They should keep the cycleway. 

The shared path is used too frequently 

by walking pedestrians 

for it to be viable for cyclists 

to use. The number of cyclists 

using that route has outgrown 

the shared path. A new one adds 

capacity. Makes sense. 

- Ben Rainey 

I think the cycleway on Park 

Tce is a waste of space. The 

orange barriers along the road 

have been banged over and there 

is less space for cars to turn onto 

the road on Park Tce. It’s also 

more dangerous for cyclists as it’s 

not clear what lines mean what 

for the buses and cyclists. 

- Kristal Jenkinson 

The cycleway should be removed. 

Kilmore St to Park Tce is a major 

thoroughfare during peak hours 

and needs two lanes each way. 

There are already two cycleways 

beside the new one. Council staff 

should follow instructions and 

not go off their own ideas, but the 

way they have built the cycleway 

is good and should be used for 

other city new cycleways. It 

would be much cheaper than 

concrete kerbing. It is a system

- Martin Evans 

Save our roads! We are not all 

able to cycle everywhere we need 

to go, or have the luxury of time 

needed to take the bus. To restore 

Park Tce to its two lanes will not 

disadvantage cyclists as there 

are two shared paths parallel to 

the road. One is right next to 

the road and the other is in the 

park next to the river. However, 

removing one lane for cars has 

greatly disadvantaged motorists 

and all industry/business that 

relies on transport. Do we want a 

vibrant city centre for all, or one 

that is only for those able to cycle 

or take the bus at all times and 

weather?

‘Mindset’ behind surprise wins 

Premier netball closed 

out the first round with 

some dominant results 

on Tuesday, while 

rugby, rugby league 

and hockey are back 

after a break over King’s 

Birthday weekend. 

Jaime Cunningham 

reports 

NETBALL 

Rising to the challenge of premier 

netball this season, Lincoln 

University B have capped off 

a successful first round with a 

dominant 60-34 win over Hearts 

St Peters A to secure second spot. 

The team were promoted to 

premier 1 after winning premier 

2 last year, and have surprised 

many with their five wins in the 

first round. 

The win has Lincoln B second 

on 21 points, behind defending 

champions Lincoln University A. 

Head coach Ronelle van Dongen 

said the success of her team is 

largely due to their determination. 

“The girls are just so willing to 

learn and improve each week,” 

she said. 

“We know the competition is 

going to get tougher and tougher, 

but we have set up a good mindset 

and had a really good start.” 

Half of Lincoln B have either 

played or sat on the bench for 

the club’s A team, which boasts 

Tactix player Kate Lloyd. 

“We’ve had some combined 

trainings which have been a 

great experience for our girls,” 

said van Dongen, who is a former 

Mainland coach. 

Goal shoot Arlya Guard led 

Lincoln B to their fifth win with 

an impressive 51 goals from 55 

attempts (93 per cent). 

Lincoln A managed to continue 

their winning streak with 

a tight 51-50 win over UC A on 

Tuesday. 

Technical A had their first 

win of the season against Kereru 

B, 52-37, to move up the standings. 

Meanwhile, Kia Toa A lost 

49-43 to Kereru A despite a late 

fightback.

after the first round, Kia Toa A 

will play promotion-relegation 

against the premier 2 leaders 

next Tuesday. They will play Kia 

Toa B, Halswell A or St Nicholas

results.

FOOTBALL 

The second half of the 

Southern League returns this 

weekend following the second 

round of the Chatham Cup – 

where the form teams marched 

on. 

Christchurch United look to 

get their ninth win of the season 

over Green Island in Dunedin 

after a 3-1 win against University 

of Canterbury. Green Island also 

come off a Chatham Cup win, 

beating Queens Park 1-0. 

The Southern League 

defending champions will go 

into the game as favourites with 

Green Island currently sitting on 

six points. 

Second-placed Technical take 

on FC Twenty 11 following their 

4-2 Chatham Cup win over 

Coastal Spirit. The two teams last 

clashed in the first game of the 

year, where a Garbhan Coughlan 

double-hat trick sealed the game 

for Technical, 6-0. 

Coastal will play Ferrymead 

Bays on Sunday. Bays scraped 

through with a 2-1 win over FC 

Twenty 11 at the weekend and sit 

three points under Coastal in the 

Southern League. 

Nomads and Selwyn return 

from rest weeks to take on 

Dunedin City Royals and Nelson 

Suburbs respectively. 

HOCKEY 

Both Carlton Redcliffs teams 

will have the toughest Challenge 

Shield defence of the season 

when they play Marist in top-ofthe-table 

clashes in round 7. 

Carlton men’s currently sit 

first on 15 points ahead of Marist 

(13), while the Carlton women 

are even with Marist women on 

13 points. 

Carlton also hold the respective 

silverware in division 1 men 

and women’s grades too – a first 

for any team. 

The Carlton teams head into 

this weekend’s matches following 

wins, while Marist women 

have had two rest weeks. Marist 

men’s team last recorded a highscoring 

7-4 win over University. 

University will continue to 

search for their first win of the 

year against Avon on Saturday. 

Avon recorded an upset 3-1 win 

over third-placed HSOB/Burnside 

in round 6. 

HSOB/Burnside will look 

for their fifth win of the season 

against Hornby. Hornby will 

also be searching for a win after 

drawing 2-2 with Southern two 

weeks ago. 

Southern take on Harewood, 

who lost 2-0 to Carlton in round 6. 

In the women’s grade, Southern 

will be hoping to score their 

first goal of the year against 

Harewood. However, Harewood 

will be hungry to win following 

their close 4-3 loss to Carlton. 

After both recording 3-0 wins 

in round 6, HSOB/Burnside and 

Hornby will take on each other 

at Nunweek Park. 

RUGBY 

University will look to extend 

their lead at the top of the table 

by defending the DCL Shield for 

a third week against Sumner on 

Saturday. 

With four round robin games 

remaining, University (32 points) 

and Marist (31) have emerged as 

top contenders for the premier 

title as playoffs near. Marist sit 

seven points ahead of thirdplaced 

Lincoln University (24). 

Since University started their 

season with a 43-37 loss to 

Sydenham, the Vipers have gone 

on to win all games this season. 

However, high-flying Sumner 

will be a challenge for University 

this weekend. The Wave recorded 

a spectacular comeback win 

(47-36) over Lincoln University 

in round 8. 

A close encounter is expected 

between Marist and Lincoln 

University on Saturday. Lincoln 

will be hurting from their loss to 

Sumner in round 8, but will be 

confident playing at home. 

Sydenham and Burnside 

have the opportunity to 

break into the top eight with 

wins over Christchurch and 

Belfast respectively. Defending 

champions Sydenham sit in 

ninth place on 18 points, one 

above Burnside (17) and just six 

behind third-placed Lincoln 

University. 

High School Old Boys will 

look to celebrate their club 

day with a win against New 

Brighton, who managed a hardfought 

34-30 win over Burnside 

in round 8. 

Shirley host Linwood at Burwood 

Park for the Lionel Hunter 

Trophy. 

RUGBY LEAGUE 

Friday night footy returns tomorrow 

with an important clash 

between the Eastern Eagles and 

Halswell Hornets, as both teams 

look to edge closer to the top of 

the table. The Hornets go into 

the match with three consecutive 

wins, including an 18-8 upset 

win over the Linwood Keas in 

round 8. 

Meanwhile, the Eagles will need 

to start strong following their 38- 

32 loss to the Riccarton Knights in 

round 9. The Eagles trailed 28-12 

at halftime, and despite a second 

half comeback, the fourth-placed 

team could not manage their fifth 

win of the season. 

After their first two losses of 

the season, the table-topping 

Keas take on the Knights on 

Saturday. They will want to pull 

away from the second-placed 

Hornby Panthers, who are also 

on 14 points alongside the Keas. 

The Panthers host the 

Northern Bulldogs at Leslie Park 

on Saturday.

TAKE A BREAK KAIKOURA 


Manakau Lodge’s Kaikoura 

Exploration Adventure 

Nestled in the picturesque landscapes of Kaikoura, 

Manakau Lodge offers an exclusive adventure for 

our guests that combines adrenaline-pumping 

excitement with a unique exploration of the region’s 

natural wonders. Take a private ATV/Tractor tour 

for an unparalleled opportunity to delve into the 

heart of Kaikoura; traversing rivers, farmlands, and 

native bush, ending with a short guided walk to the 

awe-inspiring 2,500-year-old Giant Totara tree (the 

second largest tree in the South Island!). 

Our ATV tours offer a unique opportunity to 

witness the untouched beauty of Kaikoura up close. 

Guests can take this tour in either our 

ATV or our affectionately named tractor, 

‘Kermit’, which has a people hauler 

platform on the back, so adventurers 

can take in the views unhindered! This 

immersive encounter with Kaikoura’s 

landscape allows visitors to forge a deeper 

connection with the environment and 

develop a greater appreciation for its 

significance. 

Beyond the exhilarating experience, 

Manakau Lodge’s ATV adventure also plays 

a vital role in promoting conservation and 

wildlife preservation. By showcasing the 

region’s native wildlife and habitats, guests 

gain a better understanding of the need 

to protect and preserve these ecosystems. 

This awareness translates into support for 

sustainable practices and conservation 

efforts, ensuring the long-term sustainability of 

Kaikoura’s natural treasures. We can teach you all 

about the habits of local wildlife and the region’s 

heritage! Spot deer, look for tracks, listen to native 

birds, and so much more! 

Manakau Lodge’s exclusive ATV exploration is a 

gateway to a world of adventure and natural beauty. 

This experience creates lasting memories. For those 

looking to embark on a truly remarkable journey 

while embracing the wonders of nature, Manakau 

Lodge’s ATV adventure is an opportunity that should 

not be missed!

Present your home with 

instant curb appeal 

The saying “first impressions count” 

can be especially true when looking 

to sell your property. Property photos 

are chosen to show the best features; 

however, seeing the property from the 

street can sway a decision. Potential 

buyers can be drawn in by instant curb 

appeal or discouraged by what they see. 

It is easy to have an attractive frontage 

with little effort. So what can you do to 

improve your odds of selling by having 

instant curb appeal? 

Ensure your property is easy to find 

with a clearly displayed house number, 

and if your mailbox 

is sitting on a lean or 

looking a bit battered, 

upgrade and get a new 

one that suits your 

property. Perhaps locate 

your house number on 

the house or fence in a 

more prominent place. 

One of the easiest 

fixes is to have trees and 

shrubs neatly trimmed, 

with deadwood removed. 

Adding pot plants with 

green foliage or a splash of colour can 

be inviting, add interest and enhance a 

dull or drab area. However, if there are 

already planters or pots, remove any dead 

plants or deadhead flowers and ensure 

no weeds. Also, remove any weeds from 

edgings, concrete joins and spouting if 

throughout Christchurch 

they’ve managed to find a home there. 

If there is any moss, algae or grime on 

driveways, walkways, patios, and decks, 

M: 021 300 567 E: mike@starmedia.kiwi 

using a water blaster will quickly clean 

them up. Likewise, front gardens that are 

mulched, have stones or bark might be 

best with a freshen up. 

The front door is an important feature, 

so refresh it with a coat of paint or stain 

and clean any glass surrounds. Perhaps 

it’s time for new door handles or fixtures 

with updated hardware. Leisa Webster 

from Ray White Rolleston also suggests 

that any cobwebs be removed from the 

entrance, have clean doormats and sweep 

away any leaves. She also recommends 

removing any shoes or shoe racks from 

the front door. 

Tracey Brankin from Mike Pero Real 

Estate suggests, “touch up any shabby 

paintwork, e.g., fences, letterbox, employ 

a good window cleaner or clean them 

yourself and have your lawns mowed and 

Home & Property appears every Thursday, possibly re-sown delivered if needed.” FREE 

Curb appeal aims to make interested 

parties want to view your home. Use

The new Firearms 

Registry is coming 

Register your firearms and help make New Zealand safer. 

Registry goes live on 

24 June 2023 

New Zealand will have a firearms registry 

from 24 June 2023. If you’re a firearms 

licence holder, you’ll be required to provide 

information about your firearms or arms 

items from this date. 

The Registry will help us make New Zealand 

safer. It will give licence holders more 

confidence when buying or selling firearms, 

as the Registry will let you know if you’re 

dealing with a current licence holder and if the 

firearm has been reported stolen. 

The Registry is one of the ways we’re 

strengthening how we manage firearms in 

New Zealand. With responsible firearms licence 

holders doing the right thing and filling in the 

Registry, it will help keep track of legally owned 

firearms and help prevent their transfer to 

those who use them for criminal purposes. 

You can register your firearms 

or arms items on our website 

at any time. Just click on 

MyFirearms, the private and 

secure portal that houses the 

Registry. Otherwise our Registry 

and Services team will 

be available by phone to help 

during business hours. 

You have 5 years until 24 June 2028 to register your firearms. However there are some 

circumstances where you are required to provide information for the Registry in a shorter time 

frame. These are referred to in the Arms Amendment Regulations as ‘activating circumstances’. 

It’s up to you to keep your information up to date. You can find information on these 

timeframes at: firearmssafetyauthority.govt.nz/registry
