Millers Acre costs balloon to $1.4m ERIN BRADNOCK LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER

Nelson City Council has agreed to fork out an additional $625,000 to finish recladding works at Millers Acre Centre as extensive water damage has been revealed as the result of poor maintenance.

Remedial work to repair the Millers Acre Centre began in 2020 with an initial budget of $850,000 set in May that year. Further investigations have since revealed the extent of water damage, including the discovery of toxic mould. Stachybotrys chartarum, a toxic

black mould associated with leaky buildings, was detected in air and wall samples taken from Nelson’s i-SITE centre in Halifax St. Mould was also found at other sites at Millers Acre including tenants Datacom, Simply New Zealand and the New Zealand

Trade and Enterprise Office. The iSite area was closed in 2020 and the tenants informed that they could not access parts of the building. A report to the council’s strategic development and property subcommittee in March this year detailed that deteriorated

17-year-old monolithic plaster and the weatherproof paint coating system on the Millers Acre centre resulted in moisture tracking through cracks and into the building structure. Strategic development and

Naming sponsor the Cooper Group Estate Agents’ Debbie Cooper, pictured above with Ritchie and Georgia Norris, says the night was fabulous. “The result was out the gate, we are really, really pleased for the cancer society, it more than surpassed the expectations. Debbie says there was well over $100,000 raised, all of which will stay in the local region helping those with cancer and their whanau. “It’s such an amazing cause and I love the fact that it all stays local, that’s very important.” Photo: Mackenzie Charleton.

property subcommittee chair and councillor, Gaile Noonan, confirmed the maintenance of the building was “not satisfactory” and a leading factor behind the additional costs. “We never want to ask for unbudgeted funds, I hate approving unbudgeted funds,” she said. “I think it’s important that we do this job, it has to be done, we need to make sure our asset plans are followed.” Agreeing to a budget increase of $625,000 came with trepidations from councillors during a full council meeting last Tuesday. Councillor Matt Lawrey asked for assurances that this cost will fix the build for good, and infrastructure manager Alec Louverdis assured the costs would. Councillors Tim Skinner and

Recladding works have been underway on Nelson City Council’s Millers Acre site since 2020 but further investigations have revealed water damage to the site is $625,000 worse than originally anticipated. Photo: Nelson City Council. Trudie Brand were the only two councillors to vote against approving the extended budget.

“My strong sense is that we’ll end up putting more funding into this,” he said. Councillor Rohan O’Neill-Stevens echoed the spending concerns at the table stating that no one likes to sign-off on unbudgeted expenditure. “But what’s the alternative? We let that building slowly rot away or go and knock it down with commercial tenants inside?” he said. Ultimately council agreed to extend the recladding budget to $1,460,000. The majority of the recladding work will be undertaken in the next financial year and is set to be complete by March 2023.

Skinner argued that they had had assurances that the original budget would not be exceeded.

Airport to ‘reassess’ after new sea-level data ERIN BRADNOCK LOCAL DEMOCRACY REPORTER

Nelson Airport’s chief executive says it is “reassessing” its coastal inundation plan following the release of damning sea level rise and land subsidisation data. Recent data shows sea levels are rising twice as fast as previously thought in some parts of Aotearoa, with Richmond and surrounding Nelson areas subsiding at a rate of 5mm a year. This information comes from a new programme, compiled by dozens of local and international scientists, called NZ Sea Rise. Victoria University of Wellington professor and NZ SeaRise programme co-leader Tim Naish singled out Nelson Airport and Richmond as areas of concern, early last week. “That whole area there has been a lot of development, new subdivisions, housing ... the airport is very exposed, and that road around [the coast to Richmond] is vulnerable,” says Tim. Nelson Airport CEO Mark Thompson assures that the impact of sea-level rise in the area has been on their radar for “a while”.

The Experts in Denture Care

The country’s sea levels are set to rise at twice the rate than previously thought and Nelson Airport has been identified as an area of concern by an expert behind the data. Photo: File. “This latest information just exasperates the speed of change,” he says. Mark says the airport commissioned an internal report of coastal inundation impacts through Tonkin & Taylor which he says will need to be reassessed in light of this new data. “Now we’ve got to reassess things if we’re sinking as well as experiencing rising sea levels,” says Mark. Actions outlined to mitigate the risk of future flooding included deepening a pond connected to neighbouring waterway, Jenkins Creek. During a storm in early 2018, Jenkins Creek rose and flooded the airport’s car park dur-

ing a king tide. This was while the airport’s $32 million raised terminal build was under construction. Thompson says they are still in the planning stage in terms of deepening the Jenkins Creek pond and other mitigation proposals. “How we mitigate this, it’s a challenge for all of Aotearoa, there’s a whole lot of levers to pull,” he says. Mark says they are confident that the airport is “here to stay” despite the release of the alarming data.

A Nelson car dealership has picked up a national award after just a year of operation. Honda Nelson was awarded the 2022 Honda Store of the Year from 20 branches across the country. General manager Graham Price says it’s an exciting win for their team of 15. “One of the key things for us to be able to achieve this is that we needed support of the community and they really exceeded our expectation, the local community has been so supportive.” He says what made them a standout is the customer experience and the fact that every staff member is passionate about the Honda brand.

35 years of Rockquest KATE RUSSELL Helping to get 3000 teenagers on stage every year to live out their musical dreams is something that Glenn Common and Pete Rainey have thrived on since 1988. The Nelson-based founders of the Smokefreerockquest are celebrating 35 years of the annual competition in style this month with a range of exhibitions. Glenn and Pete met while working as high school teachers in Christchurch and, in 1988, entered some bands from their school into a performance competition that a local radio station was running. “We saw the impact it had on students, so when the radio station was unable to run the event the following year, we decided to do something with it,” says Glenn. “And the rest, as they say, is history.” The competition went nation-

wide in 1990, with Government funding allowing them to expand the competition to five locations around the country. “That was the seed. At that time music wasn’t a practical subject - it was something you learned about, not something you did. “From a teacher’s perspective, you could see the change in students after they performed, and it isn’t about how well they do, it’s about the experience.” To celebrate 35 years, Smokefreerockquest has joined forces with Make/Shift Spaces for a light installation, exhibition, and launch event for the 2022 nationwide competition. Art projections will be lighting up the white-wrapped exterior of the Millers Acre Centre at night until 12 June with iconic Smokefreerockquest graphics from over the years. An exhibition in the shopfront opposite Nelson i-SITE also launched last Saturday,

featuring videos with music, interviews, and highlights. “This is a chance for us to share the story,” says Glenn. “We know that the arts in education play a huge role in helping our young people to face the future with a set of skills that give them flexibility, creativity, ability to cooperate and work in groups. Skills they can apply in life wherever it takes them. “We also know it’s a heap of fun to just get up on stage and play music.” Glenn says it doesn’t feel like they have been going for 35 years. “It’s a bit like Groundhog Day - you do one year and then it resets, and you do it again. But now we’re seeing secondgeneration students coming through.” And, they have no plans on stopping either. “I love it. I love seeing what the students do up there. “We are very much part of school life.”

Average Nelson home value down this quarter

The latest QV House Price Index shows house prices in Nelson are mimicking the national trend downwards. The average home value in Nelson has fallen by 1.5 per cent to about $870,000. While this price is still 13.6 per cent higher than this time last year, the last six months have only seen 2.9 per cent of growth as house prices across the country stabilised and began to decrease. Increased interest rates have also squeezed first-home buyers and investors which has led to a decrease the sale of properties at the lower end of the market.

Exploring the ‘f words’ KATE RUSSELL Christopher Vine is fascinated with what he calls the “f words”. Fake, fraud, false, fallacious, fantastical, fallible, fabricated, feigned, forged, fictitious, and not to mention flummery. The long-standing Nelson Institute member is so passionate about these words and their impact on society that he is presenting a talk entitled ‘Fakes, Frauds, and Fallacies’ this Sunday at the Elma Turner Library as part

of the institute’s winter series. Chris says his illustrated talk will cover many aspects of deception and duplicity. “It started with my interest in fakes in terms of the art world, then I got more interested, particularly with Donald Trump and fake news coming along which produced a whole new Pandora’s box of things to do with what they aren’t.” The 90-year-old says he sees at least three different varieties of ‘fakes’. “There are the ‘fun fakes’, likes acting or writing fiction

for instance, ‘fraud fakes’ which is virtually for the making of money, and there is impersonation - being something that you are not.” The Nelson Institute has been around for 180 years and is the longest-running organisation of its type in the country. Chris has been involved since shortly after he moved to New Zealand in the 1960s. “It’s nearly died on several occasions but I’m happy to say it’s still alive and kicking.” The group meets regularly and hosts public talks on a

diverse range of topics from astronomy to architecture. “Talks are still our bread and butter,” says Chris. “They are a rather a dying art now as more people look at their screens but there is still an appetite for them, partly for social reasons. People still like to get together and have a natter.” ‘Fakes, Frauds and Fallacies’ is on at the Elma Turner Library this Sunday, 22 May, at 2pm. Entry is $2. Arrive early to ensure a seat as there are no bookings.

300 allied health workers employed by Nelson Marlborough Health went on strike on Monday. The health workers are from 70 different professions and are members of the Public Service Association (PSA) union. Striking for increased pay, the PSA bargaining team rejected an offer from the DHBs on Friday which didn’t meet the recommendations laid out by the Employment Relations Authority. In Nelson, a two-hour demonstration was attended by about 150 orange-clad allied health workers and their supporters outside Nelson Hospital on Monday morning.

Short Film Festival

The postponed Top of the South short film festival returns this month with screenings across the region. The festival will showcase 48 films across four different events, the Gold and Silver Reels, the Aotearoa Reel (the top entries from across New Zealand) and the Young Top of the South Filmmakers. Films will be shown in six locations this year, with screenings in Nelson (3 and 4 June), Motueka (29 May), Blenheim (21 May), Takaka (27 May), Westport (20 May) and Kaikōura (22 May).

The importance of heat pump servicing Think a quick dust or vacuum of your heat pump is enough to keep it in top condition? Taking the time to regularly clean your filters can certainly help – but having a professional service every 12 months (stated in EECA’s “Good Practice Guide”), is the only way to ensure your heat pump remains working efficiently and reduces the chances of costly breakdowns. Heat pumps are the most cost-effective way to heat your home according to the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA). Yes even better than a wood burner. A dirty or blocked heat pump that is no longer working efficiently is like trying to burn wet wood. Studies show that blocked coils (the fins behind the filters) can reduce efficiency by up to 30%. This can affect your power bill and the lifespan of your heat pump! What about the outside unit? Well it’s just as important, local professionals Airify say. When was the last time your outside unit was serviced? Is your heat pump running low on refrigerant? Is your unit producing the cor-

rect amount of heat? These checks all form part of a qualified Airify service. Let’s not forget about healthy air! If anyone in your household suffers from allergies, Asthma or even the slightest respiratory illness, then it’s critical your heat pump is cleaned and serviced to remove dust or mould spores. Mould is a common issue often found after continued use as an air conditioner after long hot summer months. The Healthy Homes Standards now ensures maintenance is performed on all heating devices including heat pumps in all tenanted properties and tested to meet the World Health Organisations minimum heating standard. Airify says it’s important that all homes are healthy homes. A Premium heat pump clean and service includes more than 30 checks on your heat pump system – inside and outside unit – ensuring peak performance, healthy air and heat pump longevity. Make certain you purify your heat pump before winter. Business Update. Adv.

Is Nelson prepared for an Alpine Fault rupture? The Alpine Fault is the longest natural straight line on earth, over 800km of fault line running along the South Island between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates. As Peta Carey reports, now it is overdue to rupture. The science is unequivocal: over the last 8000 years, there has been a major earthquake on the Alpine Fault roughly every 300 years. The last one? 1717. No one predicted the intensity of the quake that devastated Christchurch in February 2011, or the scale of the one that shook Kaikōura in 2016. But as a result of research over the last two decades, we now know that there is a 75 per cent likelihood of an earthquake on the Alpine Fault in the next 50 years, and an 82 per cent chance it will be over eight on the Richter scale. This one — AF8, as it’s called — we can prepare for. Take the intensity of standing above the epicentre of the Christchurch February 2011 quake, which lasted just 30 seconds. Now imagine even more intense shaking continuing for two to four minutes, travelling the length of the Southern Alps. The Alpine Fault line runs from just north of Milford Sound all the way to Maruia near Lewis Pass. The scientists forecast that a rupture could be up to magnitude 8.2. But this is a measure of “seismic energy released”, not damage or shaking. The most intense shaking will be on the West Coast, within 10km of the fault. But it will affect the whole South Island, including the Top of the South. While the region has experienced major earthquakes before, as in 1893, Murchison in 1929 and Inangahua in 1968, there there has not been a major earthquake in close proximity when the Top of the South’s cities have been so densely populated with people, buildings and vital infrastructure as it is now. The St Arnaud region also lies across the Alpine Fault. A rupture would likely cause the

The Alpine Fault runs several hundred kilometres from near Milford Sound all the way to Nelson Lakes National Park. ground on the southeast side to rise 1-2m relative to the other side, according to Nelson Tasman Emergency management. There would also be horizontal displacement with the northwest side moving northeast by several metres. This would displace the waters of lakes Rotoiti and Rotoroa. If the southeast side of the fault is uplifted this would temporarily raise the head of Lake Rotoroa and much of Lake Rotoiti, causing serious flooding in the Gowan and upper Buller rivers and severe disturbances of the lakes themselves. Major areas of concern are Takaka Hill, which would be totally isolated if roads were blocked. Nelson city itself is in both flood and tsunami risk areas. The low lying ports area is another critical infrastructure hub for the region, hosting the region’s primary fuel storage tanks and SH6, and potential cutting off of the Richmond-Nelson highway. “Rocks and landslides will be coming down off the Alps, so if you’re anywhere near the mountains it’ll be very loud,” says Dr Caroline Orchiston. “We’re talking horizontal move-

ment of up to eight metres.” Orchiston is the science lead for the AF8 campaign — a collaboration between Civil Defence Emergency Management and Alpine Fault scientists to communicate the scientific evidence to the communities that need to hear about it. The overwhelming message from scientists and Civil Defence is: get ready. Engineers talk about something called ‘black start’. If every power station in the South Island goes down, it’ll be a very slow restart — like a series of cascading dominoes in reverse. Andrew Renton, senior principal engineer at Transpower, believes a blackout across the entire country is possible but unlikely. The consequences of having no electricity, for several hours, several weeks or more, are alarming. There’s the urgent need for power for medical equipment, food supplies and heating. But the most critical, according to Canterbury University’s Professor Thomas Wilson, is the loss of power for telecommunications. “This is going to be the biggest challenge of all.”

Nelson update This week I’m in Parliament where Finance Minister Grant Robertson will deliver the Government’s Budget, with a focus on Health and Climate Change. I’m looking forward to sharing details about the Budget with you next week. Last week was a busy one in Parliament and in Nelson. On Wednesday we passed legislation to reduce merchant service fees, which will help small businesses who are stung with high fees for contactless debit, credit and online payments. On Thursday I was delighted to speak at the Entertainment Venues Association of New Zealand meeting hosted in Nelson and attend the launch of the Nelson Fringe Festival. The arts play an important role in Nelson, and as a singer myself I am keen to see a thriving arts sector in Nelson. The Government has provided support to the arts and culture sector through our Arts and Culture COVID Recovery Programme. This funding has supported events, organisations and self-employed workers in the arts to continue planning their events with confidence. I’m really looking forward to attending more live events in Nelson over the coming months.

Oaklands Milk goes solar KATE RUSSELL Oaklands Milk has switched over to solar power to help run a more sustainable dairy business after a successful first installation of panels. Nearly 700 solar panels have been installed at the farm over the past two years. Their solar panel journey began in 2020 when they installed 182 (50k/watt system) Sunergy solar panels onto the factory and dairy shed roof. This year they went bigger, installing 504 (220k/watt system) panels on the farm in March. “We were so impressed with the results we got with the first phase that we said ‘why don’t we reduce our footprint with fossil fuels, full stop’,” says Julian Raine of Oaklands Milk. “303kw in total is what we are now producing. It is performing as well, if not better than what we expected.” This means the factory off Suffolk Rd is now fully self-sufficient during production hours and when not in production, they will be able to sell power back to the

we’ll be taking some electricity out of the national grid.” Julian says the project was an investment worth making. “It’s about a three-year payback for us the way that we’ve done it,

which is pretty good.” Going solar is just one way Oaklands is reducing its carbon footprint, with the business looking at all areas of operations. “It’s part of our ethos, what we’re

trying to do here is be as sustainable as possible,” says Julian. “Whether it’s the packaging we use or the energy we use - there are a few features in our factory where we’re recycling either heat or cold temperatures as well we’ve been doing that from day one and going solar was the logical extension,” says Julian. “We’ll obviously look at offsetting our stock footprint as well. I’m working with a company on capturing methane, that’s in its early stages.” They are also making plans to change their whole fleet over to electric vehicles to lower their emissions. “We have seven or eight trucks and we’re working with the Car Company to purchase some electric vehicles. We’ve started to get the ball rolling, but they need to be custom-built for milk delivery.” Julian says there may be plans in the future for a “grander scale” solar project. “We have more than 400 hectares here so we would look to partner up with someone to do that and do several hectares.”

Opinion

Opinion Library ‘turbocharge’ The decision of Nelson council to “turbocharge” the building of the new library is a slap in the face to ratepayers. When over the last ten years did council turbocharge the replacement of essential infrastructure? Now at a time when many ratepayers are struggling to manage with the economic after-effects of Covid, the councillors and mayor are once again focused on luxury, non-essential spending. Most of the council needs to be thrown out at the September election and replaced with people who are competent financial managers. Dan McGuire The smart future is 20-minute townships I have visited the beautiful new $5m Motueka library, next to their ISite and Decks Reserve, and I can see the wisdom in having a medium size library for each 20-minute town. Modern Libraries will be community hubs, and should be easy to get to by walking, biking or electric bikes and scooters. Reducing carbon emis-

sions should be our focus from now on. Nelson City Council should be reconsidering what is best for their community in 100 plus years and build a medium size new library in a location that will remain safe, accessible, high, and dry. Other 20-minute townships will also need a library for their community hub. Jenny Easton Community of cabins to help housing crisis This is amazing! I can’t grasp why govt doesn’t do the same thing on all the empty HNZ land, it’s a far better and more stable option than motels! Cassandr’e Polglase Great initiative!! We need more of this, working together as a community. Morwenna Oliver That is an awesome idea! Well done to everyone involved. Kathy Ruffell Brilliant. This is exactly what the church should be doing.

Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly

Elizabeth Ann Beech What a fantastic coming together of community groups to make this happen. So glad the opportunity was seized at the time to purchase the section when it became available. Best wishes to you all. David Hollingsworth Bout time we have plenty of land be great to see more used for people that need homes family’s young generation coming we should never have a housing shortage it’s sad so bring them and more. Tania Kingston Totally great idea. So many vacant sections where this could happen on a definitive scale helping many people in emergency accommodation. Barbara Morgan So there may be others waiting to be inspired... Hope this idea goes viral. Robyn Halkett Well done to all of you. Let’s start

doing it for ourselves instead of relying on everyone else. Lyn Whaanga Maitai School moving to Richmond It would be good to see some progressive thinking happening with Salisbury school. Such an excellent facility that is shockingly under utilised. Then the powers that be will say it isn’t needed and scrap it. There are so many kids that could be empowered in their lives with what Salisbury has to offer. Adding Maitai School to the campus might be just the impetus to get things going. Claire Kelly It’s happening nation-wide a lot of specialist schools are going onto a shared campus. Renee Ponder A great school that my brother went to. He officially opened it with the governor general of the time Sir David Beattie. Previous school was in Bronte Street. Jason Beattie

Seems a win-win outcome, and nicely situated for the greater Nelson-Tasman region. I hope it fully realises its potential, and is fully supported at Government level, not like Salisbury being virtually sidelined as happened several years ago. Dennis Goodman All the best for the move. Ivina Smout This is where you end up losing all trust and confidence in people, businesses. I’m so scared of being ripped off by all businesses. It’s so unfair. Susan Eden Have a code word or phrase and give it to a family member who is travelling. Make it obscure and unusual. If you are contacted by someone trying to scam you there is no way they can succeed without the code, but it means that family in need are easily identifiable. If you are asked for money, ask a lot of questions, school name, nickname, brother/ sister name, your birthday etc. Linda Hong

Three venues, 10 days, 38 shows and more than 100 performers will grace the stage for Nelson’s Fringe Festival next month. The last time the Fringe Festival ran in full was in 2018 before being cancelled, shifted online and downscaled in the past three years. “I think we’ve all been locked up for so long,” says festival director Giles Burton. “It’s time to get back out into the theatres.” The festival was due to run in March but was delayed once again due to Covid-19. However, Giles hopes the delay will mean a more fulfilling experience. “Now we should be back to 50100 people in a theatre, which I think is fantastic.”

WEDNESDAY 18 May 2022

The festival will take over three venues; Refinery ArtSpace, Studio One, and Red Door Theatre from 23 June to 2 July. With 17 local shows and many more from around the country, there is something for all ages from theatre, music and dance to cabaret, kids shows and workshops. “We are bringing and creating lots of strange things,” Giles says. “Definitely go and see what grabs your attention, but also go see a random show or two.” In addition to being a showcase of local and national theatrical talent, Giles also thinks fringe festivals could help support local economy. “People are coming back into the city centre, we’re revitalising it,” he says. “They’re certainly a really good way of getting people in

and spending money.” The first three shows to kick off the festival are musical comedy ‘That Dirty Disney Princess’, Judene Edgar’s biographical theatre show ‘Horton Hatches a Controversy,’ and comedy show ‘Chris Lippiatt Saves the World and Other Things I Might Get You To Believe’. The festival will have more than just performances. A series of workshops will also be held as well a ‘scratch night’ in which members of the public can present their in-progress projects to an audience for feedback. “They’re pretty supportive but you can get an idea of if your project is runner,” Giles says.

s w e N g n i h s Fi First dive off the boat VINNY ROBERTSON I have been learning to dive with my Dad passing on his experience. We have been in the pool as well as offshore, but today was my first attempt at rolling off the boat. On a very calm morning we ventured out on Nana and Grandad’s boat. Had a little fish until the morning warmed up a bit, then ventured into a little cove, close to shore and rocks. At this stage I was feeling very nervous but excited. It took us a wee while to rig up, check all the scuba gear and check again and go through the steps for first time rolling into the water off the boat. Mum and Grandad had to hold me in position until ready. Dad went first - I then felt very nervous but with patience and words of encouragement, I did it. So happy! Then we were paddling off towards shore. It didn’t take long before the sunscreen that was on my face worked

E Tū Tāngata commissioned Kath to write a song to add to their kete of resources for primary and intermediate schools, tackling ‘tall poppy syndrome’ in Aotearoa, to transform communities.

its way into my eyes, stinging. Dad helped me get to shore and mask off. Mum swam in with a towel so could wipe and rinse all sunscreen off. It took a lot of encouraging words for Dad to build my confidence up again. We ventured off in the shallows around some rocks, then moved deeper, all the time enjoying what I was seeing. The water was so clear. Dad broke a Kina shell, then there was a whole shoal of kahawai around us and even tried feeding them with some Kina. It was so exciting. I also saw a crayfish, which I tried to catch, but didn’t, a conga eel, cod, parrot fish, spotties and lots of other fish that I didn’t know. When we came up, Dad told me we had been down 12 metres and I couldn’t stop talking. All on the boat knew when I had seen something exciting because there were so many bubbles on the surface. I can’t wait to go again!

OUR NELSON TŌ TĀTOU WHAKATŪ Maitai Recreation Hub opening weekend

Issue 145 • 18 May 2022 Keep up to date with the latest news from Nelson City Council

Street closure improves safety at busy intersection The Hampden Street West intersection with Waimea Road will be closed to vehicle traffic for the long-term following a decision at a full meeting of Nelson City Council on Tuesday, 10 May 2022. The decision to close the intersection followed a trial period begun in October 2019, which showed significant safety gains at a busy part of Waimea Road close to the Hampden Street school. During the trial, there were no crashes at the intersection, which had seen 14 reported crashes between 2012 and 2019. The number of cyclists per hour on Hampden Street West increased from 11 per hour to 16 per hour during peak times. Infrastructure Committee Chair Brian McGurk says the closure supports Council’s goals for a people-focussed city. “There hasn’t been a single reported accident at the intersection since the trial layout went in, and that has resulted in an increase in the number of pedestrians and cyclists in the area. It’s fantastic to see a people-focussed solution work so well for pedestrians and cyclists right outside Hampden Street school,” he says. “By helping parents feel they can walk or cycle their children to school safely, we can go a long way to reducing congestion and related emissions. “Council has worked closely with all the people affected, including parents and nearby residents. This is a lovely example of how positive and well-managed change can be.” Council staff are now working on a design that will allow pedestrians and cyclists to use the intersection while keeping it closed to vehicles.

Making our city tick – updates to the Urban Environments Bylaw The Urban Environments Bylaw (UEB) covers many things that help us coexist harmoniously in our city and neighbourhood spaces. It includes the management of public health, safety and nuisance, trading in public places, the control of alcohol in public areas, keeping animals on your property, management of reserves, and burials and cremations. Nelson City Council engaged with the public to seek their views in late 2021 as part of a regular review process designed to ensure the Bylaw is still fit for purpose, serving the community, and keeping up with change. Council received 38 submissions on the Draft Amended Urban Environments Bylaw, with most relating to cats, trading in public places, control of alcohol in public places (including reserves), and golf in Neale Park. A late submission was also accepted, representing 24 residents who are asking Council to include a provision prohibiting alcohol in public places in the Wood area, specifically between the central city and Trafalgar, Tasman, Weka and Wainui Streets. At a full Council meeting on 10 May, elected members voted to accept some changes to the Urban Environments Bylaw (2015) that will come into effect on 1 June 2022 and address some concerns in other ways. • The permission to play golf in Neale Park has been removed, with the new Bylaw specifying that no one is to practice or play golf in any area or reserve other than Waahi Taakaro Golf Course. Golf in Neale Park has caused public safety concerns from neighbouring residents and park users, including some very nearmiss incidents involving golf balls landing too close to young children.

our.nelson.govt.nz

• There will be no change to the current rules relating to retail displays like sandwich boards on footpaths. Following feedback from submitters the Bylaw will retain the 2 metre width of footpaths, and instead, a comprehensive assessment of structures on footpaths will occur when Council reviews the City Amenity Bylaw later this year. • There were requests to manage cats, particularly in relation to microchipping and desexing. Time is required to consider these matters, and staff will report back on this issue by August 2022. • There are no changes to the current list of public places where alcohol is not permitted. However, in response to a submission from residents, elected members have asked Council staff to report back on the option of adding an area in The Wood to this list. The review and feedback process ensures the Bylaw keeps pace with our community and its changing needs, says Mel Courtney, Environment and Climate Committee Deputy Chair. “What we can see from the review, and what we’re hearing from the community, is that the current Bylaw is working well, and only a small range of issues have arisen since it was last reviewed in 2015. “Consequently, most of the current Bylaw will remain the same, and where there are issues, we are looking to make changes. The changes reflect feedback we’ve had from the community, for example, people feeling unsafe in Neale Park because of the danger of being struck by a golf ball.”

SOME WORDS FROM OUR LEADERS! The Nelson Fringe Festival brings our city to life with theatre, dance, comedy and music. It is quite simply a series of fabulous events that draw together a wonderful mix of performers and artists. After a difficult few years of cancelled events, it will be wonderful to ﬁnally be able to attend some live performances here in Nelson Whakatū.

Council approves governance structure for Nelson Marina Nelson City Council has approved the formation of a Management Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) for Nelson Marina. With this approval in place, the Strategic Development and Property Subcommittee will now draw up recommendations for the scope and structure of the new board for consideration by Council. Decision-making and management for the Marina is currently carried out by Council, but a Management CCO will allow Council to add people with specialist knowledge to a team responsible for guiding the Marina through this transition with a commercial focus. The next 10 years will see significant investment in Nelson Marina as Council works to create a valuable asset that benefits the whole community, makes a return on investment, and provides extended, modern facilities that meet the changing needs of boat owners. Strategic Development and Property Subcommittee Chair Gaile Noonan says the new board will provide expert oversight at Nelson Marina while it undergoes transformative change as a result of the Marina Masterplan, which is out for public consultation in late June. “There is so much potential in our Marina that we want to release. In the coming years, it will become both a modern marina offering boaties the services they require and a significant public space with recreation value for everyone in Nelson.”

IAF city centre project progresses A project designed to help increase housing supply in the City Centre is in the final stage of the Infrastructure Acceleration Fund (IAF). The Achilles/Rutherford proposal is for infrastructure upgrade supporting up to 175 new affordable and social homes by Kāinga Ora. The project includes investment in the Bridge Street Linear Active Transport Corridor, which offers green space for people and effective, safe, and healthy movement across our City. The proposal also includes an upgrade to water infrastructure in the City Centre that will meet the demands of up to 850 extra dwellings.

Simply Asia Food Group 13 YEARS IN BUSINESS

This year marks a big change for the Simply Asia Food Group. For the first time Bu-nga will run the business without husband Nuttavut, who passed away earlier this year after a long illness. “He was the quiet one and no one ever realised how much he did. He had my back while I fronted

everything,” Bu-nga says. Nuttavut always worked back of house and in the kitchen creating recipes and making sure everything ran smoothly. Every recipe served was created by Nuttavut. “So, his presence will never go, people enjoy their meals because he made them delicious. His memory stays alive because of his food.” Bu-nga wants to say, “thank you” to all of their loyal customers, friends

and staff, and while it is difficult to go on without him in the business, she is looking forward to continuing to welcome customers back, time and time again. They are extremely grateful for the continued patronage at their numerous restaurants and cafés in Nelson, Richmond and Blenheim. “I don’t now another word that can be more than thank you. For supporting our business, our family and our dream, especially during the last tough few years.” She wants the same message given to her team, especially her sister, Wanlapa.

“They kept everything running when we couldn’t be there. Many of our team have been here a long time, some even from the very start, and without their support and hard work everything would have been so much harder.” Although the past few years have been hard, in more ways than one, the restaurants have seen some exciting new additions. If you have been to Miracle on Hardy St, Chai-Yo in Richmond or the Bamboo Garden in Blenheim, you may have already met the new addition to the team, robots. Purchased by Bu-nga during the first lockdown as a way to continue to serve

customers while adhering to social distancing requirements, and also helping with staff shortage, the robot has become a much-loved part of the team. While not intended to replace staff members or human touch – they are very much part of the team, carrying large volumes of food from the kitchen to front of house. The robot will talk to you, telling you which plate is yours, and if you dare walk in front of it, it will kindly ask you to “please make way for me.” It has become a huge attraction with customers offering something gimmicky to go alongside your dining experience.

Phill Jones inducted into hall of fame JACK MALCOLM Phill Jones says he still has so much to give the game after being inducted into the Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ) Hall of Fame. He was presented the honour at BBNZ’s annual awards evening five years after hanging up his boots. The citation says Phill was recognised as one of the best to ever play in New Zealand, with a world-class shooting style. Phill says his finest memories were the relationships and friendships he made in the Giants squad. “Particularly in the early stages, every trip we went away on was really cool.” Phill made 400 appearances with the team over 23 seasons while also making 200 appearances as a New Zealand Tall Black. He was called up to the national team in 1995, at 21-years-old, earning a spot on the starting line-up in 1998 after winning the most outstanding guard award three years

running and another title with the Giants. Phill was a foundational member of the Breakers, playing in its debut season in the Australian NBL before spending three seasons with the Italian premier team Pallacanestro Cantù. In 2001, Phill top scored for the Tall Blacks in a series against Australia for Olympic qualification. That Olympics, he averaged 21 points per game and top-scored with 33 points against China to earn the team a quarter-final spot. He says that he always thought of himself as a Giants man, even at the height of his career. “I’d play overseas, then I’d come back and play for the Giants. “I wasn’t looking for other opportunities. I wanted to come back and play for the Giants.” Coming from Reefton, he says he was down at the local gym every day perfecting his skills. “Reefton wasn’t a mecca of basketball. Everything I did on my own.” He says team practice isn’t

RUGBY Tasman Trophy rolled into week two with Marist making their first appearance after a bye with a scrappy 21-19 win over Stoke. The win sees them retain the Baz Leary shield, which coach Shawn Begg says was a driving force for their performance on Saturday. At Jubilee, Wanderers put in a massive second half stint to push past Waimea Old Boys 43-15 after going into the break up 10-8.

The win was sweetened by hooker Steve Soper and flanker William Hamilton bringing up 100 games for the Wanderers Rugby Club. In Blenheim, Renwick squeaked past Waitohi, while Nelson’s game with Kahurangi was postponed due to Covid 19 and Central had a bye. This weekend sees Marist travel to Renwick, Kahurangi play hosts to Central, WOB play Waitohi and Stoke are back at Trafalgar Park, this time against Nelson.

Renwick currently top the standings with two from two wins, but with frontrunners Marist and Central have already had their bye.

Another week of dominant

you.” Phill retired from playing professional basketball full-time after his 2011 season with the Cairns Taipans, starting his working career while still suiting up as a Nelson Giant until 2017. “I was 38. I felt like I could still play, I actually came back (in 2012) and got MVP of the NZ league, but it got a lot harder. “I wasn’t going to get another chance to play (at that level) and we had three young kids. “I had to find what I call a real job.” Now an insurance specialist with ANZ Wealth, he says he still has so much to give the game. He says he wants to give back to the game as a coach at the grassroots level for kids around the region. “I coach the Waimea senior boys and I’d love to take them to a national championship and be competitive. “This year we want to qualify, and next year we are hopeful, we’ve got quite a competitive group.”

results saw the three teams go through the first two weeks unbeaten and has set the stage for an exciting third round clash between Jacks OPD and Nelson Men’s. Pieces Waimea Ahurei plays Richmond F45 this week, who have the wind in their sails after a hardfought 44-42 win over Prices Waimea Pango last week. The two schoolgirl teams, Nelson College senior A and Nayland College senior A, are still in search of their first win after tough first-up matches, as is Jacks B.

Chatham Cup football kicked off on Sunday with Nelson Suburbs FC getting a 4-0 win over Richmond Athletic on Saxtons Field and FC Nelson beating Tahuna FC 3-2 on Trafalgar Park. The Chatham Cup is New Zealand’s premier knockout tournament in men’s football, with approximately 120-to150 teams taking part each year and the finals played in September. Nelson Suburbs FC were too good for Richmond, opening the scoring with a Noah Platt goal in the 21st minute before

adding to their total with the first of two goals to Jordan Young to go into the break with a handy two-goal lead. Jordan would score from the penalty spot and an 80th-minute goal to James Mcphie sealed the victory. While on the other side of town, three first-half goals was enough for FC Nelson, who held on to a late charge by Tahuna that saw them score with ten minutes to go after a brilliant ball behind the defence by Josh Munro gave Pedro Ivo Costa Vaz an easy finish. The matches saw regular-season Nelson Pine premier

grade football games between Suburbs Seals and Tahuna postponed to a 7pm kick-off Wednesday 18 May, and Motueka against FC Nelson also postponed. In the only game of the weekend, Nelson Suburbs FC U23 held on against a late fightback from the Blenheim Rangers to win 5-4. Assistant coach Phill Platt says while they had a good performance overall, it wasn’t good for the full 90 minutes. “It was a tough old game. “They threw everything at us in the last 20 and we held on,” he says.
