Few signs PGC building would collapse Chris Tobin

One small step: ‘Astronauts’ Liam Taylor, left and Nathan Tunbridge catch a ride on the new Comet bus service, which had its official launch yesterday. The service between Hornby and Papanui was developed by Environment Canterbury in response to changing travel patterns as Christchurch businesses have moved from the central business district and spread out over the north-west of the city. The route includes business hubs at Sheffield Crescent and the airport and connects with the existing Selwyn Star, Metro Star, Northern Star and Orbiter services. The silver buses run every 30 minutes on weekdays and at weekends and every 15 minutes at peak times. Photo: Samantha Early

AN investigation by construction experts of the PGC building has revealed that after the 7.1 magnitude earthquake on September 4, 2010, the building showed few if any signs indicating it would collapse on February 22.

This information will be submitted when the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission begins a public hearing into the building’s collapse later this month. Evidence and submissions closed last Monday.

On February 22 the building collapsed with the loss of 18 lives.

The experts’ investigation was conducted by Beca Carter Holdings & Ferner Ltd (Beca) at the request of the Department of Building and Housing. The company stated in its report: “We have reviewed the provided information on the damage sustained in the September 4 and Boxing Day earthquakes and have concluded there were few if any signs that the building had been significantly damaged in the shaking that had occurred, or that collapse was a possibility.”

Beca said that on February 22 the building collapsed eastwards, which appeared to have been started by a failure in compression of the eastern core wall between levels one and two. Shaking was much more intense than what the building was designed to withstand. It was built in 1963.

“Almost no structural damage was observed between ground level and level one. The core walls above level two were reportedly largely undamaged. The east half of the roof detached itself from the core and slid partially off the level below on to the adjacent building.”

Structural engineers inspected the building after the September 4 and December 26 quakes and advised the owner it was acceptable to reoccupy the building. Three engineers’ reports were prepared, which were dated September 7, October 15 and January 27.

The royal commission will also consider reports from the Department of Building and Housing on the collapse of the stairwells in the 18-storey Forsyth Barr building on February 22 and the extensive damage to the Grand Chancellor hotel.

These will be heard at a public hearing beginning on December 5. Evidence and submissions closed on Monday.

CHRISTCHURCH’S future cathedral is set to be a glorious and wonderful combination of new and old, paying respect to the city’s heritage, Cathedral Dean Peter Beck says.

Last Wednesday’s de-consecration service was a move to allow the partial demolition of ChristChurch Cathedral, he said. “We’ve said we wanted the least amount of demolition that’s required to make the building safe.

I don’t know what that means yet, we shall have to wait and see. “What we do know is that the new building, the future cathedral, will be a mixture of old and new.�

Dean Beck had no idea about what the future cathedral would look like. “It’s too early to tell. There’s lots and lots of discussion,

design-work, conversation, consultation, and I’m sure some pretty robust debate over what it’s going to be.

This is Christchurch, after all,� he said.

Warren & Mahoney had been contracted to design the new cathedral, Dean Beck said. “They’re doing some preliminary work on that.

Where that leads, I’m not sure, I don’t know, but, we’re working with them at the moment.�

While the future of ChristChurch Cathedral would be central to the earthquake rebuild, Dean Beck was also conscious about problems facing residents in the city’s eastern suburbs. “All the issues that are going on with insurance and EQC and all that stuff, that’s very very important, and for me, that’s a priority. Let’s get those things sorted,� he said.

PGC building collapse From Page 1 In its report of the Forsyth Barr building Beca said it had been built in 1988 and “could be expected to perform to essentially the same level as a similar building in 2010�.

The main stairs from ground to level 15 on one side, and from ground to level 14 on the other, collapsed.

Beca considered the stair support detail was inadequate and added: “It is an issue that details such as this are used in a number of buildings around New Zealand.�

The technical investigation of the CTV building in which 88 people died on February 22 is continuing. If the investigation is completed by the end of the year a hearing could be held in March next year.

Council questioned over quake buildings From the editor

Chris Tobin editor@mainlandpress.co.nz

Samantha Early

THE Christchurch City Council has been grilled over its passive approach to the strengthening of earthquakeprone buildings.

Council representatives appeared before the Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission on Monday during hearings into unreinforced masonry and quake-prone buildings policies.

This week’s hearings involve local councils from around the country.

Christchurch Mayor Bob Parker appeared alongside the council’s general manager of regulation and democracy services Peter Mitchell and environmental policy and approvals manager Steve McCarthy.

Councils were required to produce policies about earthquake-prone buildings by the Building Act of 2004 and have them in place in 2006.

Mr Parker said the Christchurch policy took a “relatively passiveâ€? approach as owners only needed to strengthen their buildings to 33-percent of the building code when they wanted to do a major rebuild, renovation or a change to the building’s use. “That obviously with the benefit of hindsight seems to be entirely inadequate but that was based on the clarity of understanding we had of both the legislative and the seismic environment‌at that time.â€?

He said there was a huge tension between the responsibility held by local government and the need to recognise the costs imposed on the community and the cost issue was repeatedly brought to the council by building owners. “It’s not hard to see the total facing our city would have been more than $1billion.�

Mr McCarthy said in 2006 the council wanted a “full economic statement� and to know how many buildings it was dealing with.

Listening in on private conversations

Building danger: The Canterbury Earthquakes Royal Commission is holding hearings into unreinforced masonry buildings, such as these in Merivale, damaged in February.

Council officers came up with a list of about 7600 quake-prone buildings. “I think it was always the council’s intention to set timeframes and be active, but they didn’t think they had enough information,� he said.

Counsel assisting with a special focus on victims’ families, Marcus Elliot, presented a submission to the council from architect Sir Miles Warren, dated February 22, 2006, urging it to take swift action on “dangerous� buildings. “The council plays Russian roulette with its citizens,�

Sir Miles said in the submission.

Mr Elliot asked the council officers whether Sir Miles was right.

Mr Mitchell declined to comment on that phrase “as an officer of the council� and said the council made its decision at the time considering many points of view.

Mr Parker had previously left the hearing so could not answer the question.

retrieve the device was made, they say, after the meeting ended.

Since then calls have been made for the tape to be released for public consumption. Why should it?

Also why was the recording device left on? How did the device end up on the table? And given that the recording was made without the knowledge of Messrs Banks and Key, why should every Tom, Dick and Mabel know what they said to each other?

On another note I agree with Labour Party leader Phil Goff that artist Sam Mahon’s painting showing Mr Key lying slumped dead in an alley is not appropriate.

Those who view the painting are being invited to discover Mr Key’s “killer� and can go in a draw to win prizes. This is more than inappropriate, it is rather sick.

Politics can be a dirty business but in this country we don’t need sneaky tactics to listen into politicians’ private conversations nor tasteless paintings of prime ministers lying dead.

IS it acceptable to tape private conversations without the knowledge or permission of the people being taped?

Is it then fair and reasonable to expect that the tape’s contents should be made public?

These are questions being asked after Prime Minister John Key and ACT Epsom candidate John Banks were taped while having a private cup of tea in a Newmarket cafĂŠ in Auckland, although filming was allowed through the windows.

It was a media event in a public place but it was a private conversation.

The tape came from a freelance cameraman employed by the Herald on Sunday who allegedly “accidentally� left his radio microphone on the table right under the noses of Messrs Banks and Key. The newspaper has said the freelance cameraman sought to retrieve the recording device but was prevented by Mr Key’s security staff. Mr Key’s camp says this is not true. The attempt to

we were doing our part in the whole revitalisation.�

Tomorrow’s reopening would be stage one of a two-stage project. The second stage would involve rebuilding the part of the store that had been demolished in a new format but that would have to wait until more was known about the future layout of nearby buildings and other infrastructure.

Mr Hellings said getting the store up and running again was a huge achievement for everyone who had helped to make it happen. “It has actually turned from one of disaster to saying this is a real opportunity and those that have done the work to put the place together, to get it to where it is now, have done a magnificent job.�

RETAILING in the south central area of the city will come a small step closer to normality tomorrow with the reopening of one of its largest and longest-serving stores.

Smith’s City has been on its Colombo Street site across from the South City mall since 1918 and that presence is set to continue when the store opens its doors for the first time since the February 22 earthquake.

Smith’s City chief executive Rick Hellings said there had never been any question of abandoning the site despite the fact that about one third of the building had needed to be demolished due to quake damage. “Our logic was we believed in the site.

It’s a good commercial decision but at the same time we wanted to be sure

Earthquake issues the focus for Christchurch East candidates

2 0 11

ELECTIONS

Duncan Martin

VOTERS in Christchurch East are calling for better community engagement and more transparency from government around earthquake issues, candidates say.

Labour Party MP Lianne Dalziel, 51, has held the seat for the past 12 years, winning the electorate vote by a margin of 5764 at the 2008 election.

Ms Dalziel wanted her constituents to not only reelect her as their MP, but said she would also like to see them give their party vote to Labour.

“I haven’t been successful in getting the kind of openness that one would expect from a government in times like this, and that’s why I want to be part of a government.”

Labour would “open the books” on the process around land announcements, Ms Dalziel said.

“You would get all of this information, the geotechnical information explained in plain language for people. We would make sure that we had community engagement, which actually means sitting down, talking to communities about how they’re feeling.”

National Party candidate and list MP Aaron Gilmore, 38, wanted to win as many electorate votes as he possibly could, but said winning the party vote was more important overall.

“This is the beauty of MMP. One thing the National Party has learned – it’s only the party vote that really counts.”

Christchurch East had gone through particularly trying times and circumstances because of the earthquake, Mr Gilmore said.

“Most of that is due to not having accurate information or understanding the processes that they’re going through. And some of that is actually, every now and then, EQC or Cera has made mistakes,

and it’s making sure we get those things all right.”

Green Party candidate Mojo Mathers, 44, said constituents in Christchurch East had raised major concerns around water, and particularly around the issue of sewage overflow.

“That was happening before the earthquake, but it’s been exacerbated of course by the earthquake, and it’s inevitable there’ll be short-term pollution, but longterm, you need to clean it up.”

Ms Mathers said she would be campaigning for the party vote at this year’s election, and was set about marking a milestone in New Zealand Politics.

“I’m number 14 on the party list. At the current polling I will get into parliament, and if I do, I’ll be New Zealand’s first profoundly deaf MP.” United Future candidate Johnny Miller, 43, said he would be seeking the party vote from Christchurch East constituents.

“Working with the other parties as well, my main issue is trying to get the answers through in a clear and definite way, instead of a ‘we’ll put you into a white zone and you just wait there for a year and we’ll come back to you’.”

With the rebuild, Christchurch East was set to “bounce back beautifully”, Mr Miller said.

“We’ve got the beach. Once New Brighton gets a rebuild, people are going to start coming back.”

Aotearoa Legalise Cannabis Party candidate Michael Britnell, 60, said Christchurch East would be facing on-going earthquake-related issues for quite some time.

“There are many concerns about the break-up of communities and their meeting places like churches and community halls that have been lost to the earthquake.”

Teens take on Great Barrier Samantha Early

THEY’VE had to overcome all kinds of barriers this year including earthquake disruption and illness.

Now a group of teenagers from Cashmere High School is looking forward to tackling a barrier of a different sort: the Great Barrier Island.

Community garden up for award

Authorised by Brendon Burns, 304 Fitzgerald Avenue, Christchurch

THE Kaiapoi Community Garden has overcome two quakes to transform a debris-filled overgrown section into a thriving green area and is now a finalist in the NZ Gardener magazine’s best Community Garden of the Year competition.

The garden was established last July 2010 and has prospered over the past 18 months due to the efforts of a small group of volunteers and Kaiapoi Borough School pupils.

“The garden has drawn people together and has given them something to take their minds off all the difficulties they are facing after the earthquakes,” garden coordinator Lesley Ottey said.

Some red-zoned Kaiapoi residents donated seeds and even the contents of entire garden sheds to the garden before leaving the area.

“It was all through word of

mouth and people who have to leave the area want to leave a little piece of themselves behind in Kaiapoi.

“One man who was moving to Auckland donated his potting shed to us,” Ms Ottey said.

Broken crockery collected after the June aftershock will be crushed and used as shingle for pathways.

“Some pieces were precious family heirlooms and this is a way of preserving them for the future.”

Ms Ottey said Kaiapoi Borough School pupils involved with the garden were learning vital life skills through their volunteer work.

“They’re learning how to care for things and about life-cycles.

“It’s hands-on learning and a lot of kids who don’t fit in the classroom mould flourish outside and often, the most challenging

pupils make some of the best gardeners.”

Ms Ottey said the garden was still evolving and she has plans to further develop the space.

“We’re going to put in a worm farm, a pizza oven, a berry house, and install an irrigation system that uses rainwater.”

As the winner will be awarded based on public votes, Ms Ottey hoped people would support the garden, which is up against an Auckland community garden.

“If we win, it would be a boost not just for Kaiapoi, but for all of Canterbury.

“The garden is about much more than gardening. It gives people hope and shows that from nothing, something great can emerge.”

Vote for the Kaiapoi Community Garden at www. nzgardener.co.nz. Voting closes on November 30 and the winner will be announced by the end of December.

Visitor centre re-opens www.national.org.nz

Still Pedalling!

Open for business: The centre, whose office in the Old Post Office building was destroyed in the February earthquake, has resumed its services in a new location.

CHRISTCHURCH’S i-SITE Visitor Centre was reopened on Monday in a specially designed portable home in Rolleston Avenue next to Canterbury Museum after temporarily operating at the Chateau on the Park for eight months.

“It’s an ideal spot for the visitor centre because it is in an area that will naturally attract most of our visitors to the city,” Christchurch and Canterbury Tourism chief executive Tim Hunter said.

“We’re thrilled to have secured such a central location for the centre and are looking forward to welcoming many visitors and locals through its doors over the summer months.”

Manager Sandra Caldwell said the i-SITE staff were delighted as it is in time for the busy summer season.

“We’re expecting lots of visitors, including cruise passengers to come through this centre. Our new facilities in the Botanic Gardens will allow us to provide a high level of service to those who want information about the experiences and activities they can enjoy around Canterbury and the South Island.”

The new location is within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions, as well as the Re-Start retail complex, Ms Caldwell said.

Trevor Crowe’s been involved with cars for a while.

Winning gold boosts butchery NOVO7809

Feeling unwell?

Gina McKenzie

FEBRUARY’S earthquake devastated Ashby Butchery, but co-owner Corey Winder has bounced back after both his sausages and bacon were judged as the best in New Zealand. “We lost about 70 per cent of our customer base after the earthquake, but we had more time to focus on developing new products and to enter the competitions.

Sizzlers: Corey Winder proudly displays the best bacon and sausages in New Zealand.

“I was blown away by winning the awards. It was a highlight in a hard year and gave us something positive to focus on.�

In August, Mr Winder won the New Zealand Bacon of the Year Supreme Award for his dry-cured middle bacon.

Earlier this month, his Italian casalinga pork sausage beat 470 other sausages to be named New Zealand’s best sausage.

Mr Winder had focused on supplying their clients with premium cuts of meat, but February’s earthquake forced the butchery to change direction. “We decided to concentrate on supplying supermarkets with premium small goods. “These days, people are more concerned about what goes into their food so we’ve tapped into a growing market.�

Mr Winder said the win motivated him to concentrate on developing new products. “There’s deďŹ nitely a market out there and we’ve had great feedback so we’ll continue to come up with new and interesting products.â€?

Civic ofďŹ ces open again CHRISTCHURCH City Council’s civic ofďŹ ces re-opened to the public on Monday, for the ďŹ rst time since the February earthquake.

The ofďŹ ces, at 53 Hereford Street, are open from 8.30am-5pm on weekdays.

Services available include rates payments, rebates and remissions, parking ďŹ ne payments, ordering and collection of property ďŹ les, dog registrations and provision of drainage plans.

Building consent, resource consent and subdivision consent services will be available at Upper Riccarton Library,

In an emergency, call 111 immediately Supported by the Canterbury Health System

Stronger Christchurch

71 Main South Road, until December 16. From December 18, these services will be available from the civic ofďŹ ces in Hereford Street.

Since the February earthquake, council staff have been working from temporary premises while repairs have been made to the Hereford Street building and engineering assessments conducted.

Engineering reports conducted by the building’s owners – the council and NgÄ i Tahu Property Ltd – after the September, February and June earthquakes show the building performed well and is structurally sound.

CENTRAL OTAGO For more than thirty-five years, Grahame Sydney has found his creative inspiration in the landscapes and people of his home province of Otago. A regionalist of the old school, his paintings have become inextricably associated with the public perception of the South Island and of Central Otago in particular.

Central Otago retains a vivid sense of the untouched, natural landscape which separates it from the rest of the nation, yet still means so much to New Zealanders. Sydney presents here selection of his favorite images of the region.

This book is a hymn to a particular place, revealed by a devoted, sharp and conďŹ dent eye.

Love the skin you are in

17

Be your real self Your life unfolds according to the choices you make. Choices and decisions are never really free choice. They are not even considered choices because they are influenced by the emotions which govern your life. Research has shown that the part of the brain associated with emotions lights up first, before your thinking gets involved. You do the best you can at the time, and you may not have all the internal resources that you would wish to have. The sooner you release stuck emotions, and gain freedom to follow your own truth and not someone else’s, the sooner you can be your real self.

Christchurch soprano comes home HAYLEY Westenra is returning home to celebrate 10 years since her career began, with a concert in Christchurch on Sunday evening.

Her first New Zealand tour in four years is a special tribute to the success she has enjoyed over the past decade, as well as to her supporters.

The 24-year-old soprano has toured internationally with some of the biggest names in music and released six albums. She has spent the last 12 months working on her latest album in Rome with film composer Ennio Morricone and his orchestra.

“I spent the whole of last year working on it. He really got involved with me, directing me and getting the best performance out of me,” Ms Westenra said.

“Over the years I’ve learnt more and more about music and my interpretation of the music is different.

I suppose I’m digging deeper and deeper in myself and putting more out there rather than just singing a song.”

The concert will be held at CBS Arena starting at 7.30pm. A reserve tickets are $89.90 and B reserve tickets are $79.90. Tickets can be booked through Ticketek at www.premier.ticketek.co.nz.

Jockey apprentices recognised Riccarton and LPW on top in Twenty20

THE return of injured Black Caps pace bowler Hamish Bennett helped Riccarton record two wins from two games in the premier grade Twenty20 cricket competition held at Hagley Park on Sunday.

Riccarton and Lancaster Park-Woolston were the only two unbeaten teams at the end of the day in which all eight premier grade sides competed in rounds three and four of the competition. The first two rounds were to be held on Saturday but were rained out. The final rounds will be played on January 7 at Hagley Oval.
