Families caught in housing crisis Jenny Nicholson The region’s housing crisis is deepening with 40 per cent more people looking for emergency housing assistance than the same time last year. Nelson Tasman Housing Trust director Carrie Mozena says in

the last three years the waiting list for Kāinga Ora public housing has also gone from 40 to 400. “Now it’s just regular people who are working full or part-time finding it hard to get a rental or affordable housing,” says Carrie. One Nelson woman, who didn’t want to be named, works at a

school, has great references, and keeps her motel immaculate but still cannot find permanent accommodation. She, and three of her four children, have been living in a onebedroom motel in Nelson since May. “It’s not easy. It’s not what people

think,” she says. “There is a real stigma to living in a motel.” Her 12-year-old son refuses to live at the motel because of the stigma associated with it. He is currently living with his father. Her 10-year-old daughter also doesn’t want to tell her friends where they live or invite them

around. However, that wouldn’t be an option anyway, as the motel has a “no visitors” policy. The woman’s eyes well up as she talks about how the situation affects her children. She says she has “cried heaps” and feels like a

Working families bare brunt of housing crisis from page 1 failure. With plans to shift her family to Australia in May, she gave up the house she had been renting for years. However, when Covid-19 hit again, her plans changed, and she had to move out of where she was living. Unable to find another house, she approached WINZ. “They asked me why we couldn’t live with family,” she says. “My sisters had offered to have us, but their tenancy agreements state they are not allowed to have other families live with them.” She says, at that point, WINZ told her living wither her sister would be fine for a few nights. “But I knew it wouldn’t be for a few nights. This is a long picture,” she says. “There’s a housing crisis everywhere in New Zealand.” The woman ended up in a motel and has been moving from room to room ever since, because if the

motel has a prior booking they are moved to a different space. Her son has asthma, and she says she is very thankful they are in a warm space. But there is no sense of security for her family. Having viewed more than 20 houses she feels discriminated against, both as a Māori, and as someone living in emergency housing. Her friend Leaana Charlett, a 29-year-old solo mum, is living with PTSD from childhood trauma. After the birth of her children, she also suffered postpartem depression. “I copped a bad drinking habit as a result,” she says. She owns her behaviour but wants to move on for her children’s sake. “My story is different because of the bad choices in my past,” she says. “I have had to address those.” “I needed more support. I didn’t have the village I needed.”

Leaana Charlett missed having an oven and a sense of home while living in a motel. Photo: Jenny Nicholson. For a time, she lived in a Housing New Zealand house. When a friend was assaulted while visiting her, social workers removed her and her family from their rental for their own safety. She says there was no plan where

to go next when they moved. During the next six months she moved 15 times, sometimes to different motels, sometimes to different rooms. “It’s unsettling. It puts us in poverty and keeps us there and in that mindset.” She felt additional pressure to keep her boys, aged three and four, quiet. “Not being able to provide my kids with a sense of home life went against my nature as a mum,” she says. Leeana and her family shifted into transitional housing run by Gateway Trust two weeks ago. “I can honestly breathe,” she says. “I finally have a sense of calm and space and stability. The dynamic here is for families.” Having a three-month tenancy agreement, that can be renewed if she hasn’t found accommodation during that period, gives her a smaller sense of security.

Council fails to meet most transport targets Erin Bradnock Nelson City Council has failed to meet most of its transport targets, a new report reveals. According to the ‘Annual Monitoring Report of the Regional Land Transport Plan 2015-2021’, fewer Nelsonians are walking and cycling to work or using public transport. There has also been an increase in single-occupancy car trips, an increase in fatal crashes, and an increase in unplanned road closures. Nelson City councillor and infrastructure chair, Brian McGurk, assures improvements to the region’s public transport network are on the way from 2023 with a focus on extending bus routes. This will include a 30-minute frequency on all urban routes and increased peak time frequencies. Public transport use saw a decrease over 2020/21 which was a trend noted nationally and assumed because of Covid-19 restrictions. Along with Tasman District Council, Brian says the council is introducing bus services to places such as Motueka and Wakefield. In 2020/21, 21.2 per cent of vehicles across all routes had more than one occupant, down

Along SH6 there were 27 hours of closure in 2020/21 where there were no unplanned closures in 2014/15. Slips, fires, crashes, fallen trees and police events were identified for the increased unplanned road closures. The council’s target to reduce the average number of fatal and serious crashes in a sixyear period was also not met. The report shows there were 11 fatal and 31 serious crashes along the Top of the South state highway network with two fatal and 37 serious crashes recorded along Nelson’s local road networks. Brian says the council is working to improve safety in line

with central government’s strategy. That included reducing speed limits this year to 30kmh in the inner city and other zones where vulnerable road users are present. He says safety, low vehicle occupancy, walking and cycling rates, public transport uptake and an increase in unplanned road closures have been outlined as the council’s top transport priorities to improve on. “Shifting people towards more sustainable forms of transport was always going to be a challenge, and there is still a lot of work to be done,” says Brian. “But I am confident that change will take place, and for many of the drivers, changes are already underway.”

New homeless hub opens Erin Bradnock Reporter

erin@nelsonweekly.co.nz

A new space to help Nelson’s homeless will become a hub to help them thrive in difficult times. ‘Whare Haumanu’ is housed at the Male Room and was completed at half the cost thanks to Nelson Rotary and community generosity. The Male Room offers free counselling with a focus on male survivors of sexual abuse but has also become a safe space for the city’s homeless. The new whare is equipped with a shower, washing machine, dryer, kitchen and computer for those who need to connect, eat, charge their phones or simply seek somewhere warm and dry. The new space leaves the main building of the Male Room to be dedicated to counselling services. Male Room manager Louis Chapman describes the space before the whare as a cramped operation. “We were struggling having so many people coming through. Now we have the whare out the back it’s a nicer environment for one-to-one counselling,” Louis says.

benches, a barbeque and also a vegetable garden. Philip says the build would never have been possible without the tireless work of Rotary Club Nelson. The project was coordinated by Rotary Club Nelson, with support from landowners Kāianga Ora and fellow Nelson-based Rotary Clubs. Together, they were able to pool $20,000 to launch the project. A further $103,000 was funded by The Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Nelson City Council Mayor’s Fund and the St Vincent de Paul. Local builders and suppliers also donated their time and fixtures, including Heaphy Surveying Ltd, Mitre 10, Sturrock and Greenwood Ltd, Tim Miller Plumbing Ltd, Asphalt & General Co and Steve Rolston Ltd Builders. It meant a build that would have otherwise cost more than $200,000 was done for about half of that cost. Rotary’s project manager John Hambleton, who put 100 hours himself into the project, presented to Nelson City Council on the build earlier this month. “It’s a wonderful demonstration of what can be achieved by community.”

Police bus turned into Covid vaccination clinic Jenny Nicholson

Kaka Valley housing plan change: The Maitahi Bayview private plan change (PPC) has passed through the next “gateway”, with Nelson City councillors voting 9-4 to accept the request at a council meeting on Thursday. The PPC request, submitted by the development companies CCKV Dev Co LP and Bayview Nelson Limited, seeks to rezone about 287 hectares of land located within the Kaka Valley for housing. Council officers recommended that it was accepted and progressed through the normal channels with there being “no RMA grounds to reject the request”. The application will now continue as a PPC and it will be publicly notified within four months. It has been recommended that accredited commissioners consider the PPC and make recommendations to the council. Three Waters feedback: Nelson City Council has written its response to the Government on the proposed Three Waters Reform, informed by elected member workshops, public meetings, and correspondence received from the public. Council says they have concerns about the governance model, that the proposal could potentially increase the risk of future privatisation of three water assets, and the lack of community engagement. “The public information campaign has not met the needs of our community … if the Government decides to proceed further with the Three Waters Reform then there needs to be a significant improvement in the public information campaign.”

A police booze bus has been transformed from testing drink drivers to fighting Covid-19, as part of Nelson Marlborough Health’s efforts to boost vaccination rates in the region. NMH principal advisor emergency management, Pete Kara, says the bus has been repurposed and is already doing great work in the community. “It makes it easier to take the clinic to the people.” Nelson Bays Primary Health general manager primary care, Charlotte Etheridge, says they are thinking outside the square regarding where they set up shop. “We are using bite size times and locations to try and give people the opportunity to be vaccinated. We are looking at where people are at the beginning and end of the day, because often they are at work or at home with family during the day.” Pop-up clinics were available in the Richmond Mall carpark last Wednesday and Thursday. Charlotte says about 25 people were vaccinated over the two days and, though they are not large numbers, the bus was about giving locals more opportunity to be vaccinated. “That number may seem small, but it was all first doses,” she says. “That’s a big win for us.” Latest Ministry of Health figures available shows that three quarters of

Region’s top apprentice named Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz

An eye for detail and an infectious personality has earned a young Nelson builder the title of Upper South Island Apprentice of the Year. Finn Eden, 21, was named as the region’s top building apprentice at an online awards ceremony last Wednesday night. Tasman Homes director Garry Nott, who employs Finn, says he is an outstanding young man who has already been managing full build jobs. “He’s definitely a step above the norm. I could tell the judges were impressed with how organised he was when they came to do the interview - he’s a real credit to the team.” The 2021 Registered Master Builders CARTERS Apprentice of the Year recognises excellence among carpentry apprentices and raises awareness of career opportunities in the building and construction industry. Apprentices are tested on their project management, business, presentation, and practical skills. Finn initially had to submit a portfolio of a building project before taking part in an interview

That was followed by a two-hour practical challenge where entrants were tasked with building a shoe rack. “It was the most intricate shoe rack I’d ever seen,” says Finn, who had mentally prepared himself to make something along the lines of a simple square bird box – as entrants had done in previous years. After spending 45 minutes

studying the plan, he finally made his first cut, long after the other entrants had started. “I had a wee laugh to myself, I could hear my mum pacing around going ‘what’s he doing, why hasn’t he started yet’, but I didn’t realise I’d spent so much time looking at the plan.” He was one of only two to complete the practical challenge, and

he had 10 seconds to spare. Finn was joined at home by about 30 family, friends and work colleagues on the night of the awards who were all still celebrating with him throughout the rest of the week. Judges said Finn can be very proud of his project which he showed enthusiasm and passion for. They said the home he initially submitted was of a “very

high standard” and his knowledge of the project “immense”. “Overall, Finn has an infectious personality which is hard not to like. The build showed his personality, professionalism, and his eye for detail,” said a judge. Finn will join top apprentices from nine other regions to compete in the Master Builders National competition later this year.

New affordable and social homes for Nelson A lack of affordable housing close to Nelson’s city centre is an issue often raised by our community. Alongside Te Ara ō Whakatū, we are running a separate feedback process on a proposal to sell land in the city centre to Kāinga Ora for a high-quality affordable and social housing development of approximately 175 homes. For more information about this proposal and to tell us what you think please visit shape.nelson.govt.nz/kainga-ora-consultation

Judene Edgar - Deputy Mayor Chair Urban Development Sub-committee “Dr Kay Saville-Smith, Director of the Centre for Research, Evaluation, and Social Assessment, spoke to Council last year about the need to address housing for the ‘missing middle’. Many people have relatively secure, low-to-middle income jobs but still struggle to access and afford secure housing. This is a critical gap in Nelson’s housing supply.”

Nelson College plans assets sell-offs to pay $3m debt Charles Anderson Nelson College is looking to cut costs as well as sell off buildings and land to help pay off almost $3million of debt that was acquired to fund an expansion of its boarding scheme that failed to eventuate. “It’s really serious,” says headmaster Richard Dykes. “If we do nothing we will be insolvent by April.” To stave off that eventuality, the school needs approval from the Government to sell buildings and land. This includes Fell House, its old caretaker’s residence, and a parcel

of land known as Blackett’s Corner. However, the Ministry of Education has told the school that it would take four years to go through the process to gain the approval for asset sell-offs. Richard says that the process is frustrating as they wanted to go “hard and fast” to ensure the school did not become insolvent. “We are working closely with the ministry – you can’t close a school down.” The problem eventuated with the school’s plan to renovate two of its boarding houses between 2015-2018. It took on $2m of debt from

Westpac in April 2019, with an overdraft facility of $1.5m. However, the number of boarders, particularly international students, failed to materialise. Even without Covid-19, this issue would have still occurred. “This is not because of Covid. Covid has not caused it. “We don’t want to get into ‘what were people thinking’,” says Richard. “What it shows us, even if international students came back, we would still need to cut our costs dramatically for about 10 years. “That is not tenable. You can’t have 10 years of austerity - that’s two generations of students to

pay off historical debt.” Richard says he was aware of the situation before the interview process for the job. But since he was awarded the role, in March last year, he had learned much more detail about the problem. “It has been a slow path of discovery.” As well as the asset sell-offs, the school is looking at how to cut costs, however Richard would not specifically say how it planned to do that. It was also going to lease part of The Broads fields to Nelson Marlborough Health for car parking. However, that was only a temporary measure.

They had also been in touch with “high profile” old boys to see if they could help fund the school out of financial trouble. “The other option is everything goes bad and we are bankrupt.” Richard says he is committed to seeing through the problem.

Zac’s Back to the Future dream comes true Jo Kent Zac Hardwick finally got to ride in his dream car last weekend after years of watching Back To The Future movies. “It was totally awesome, and I wish I could do it again,” the 13-year-old says. Zac’s grandmother, Donna McKnight, spent more than a year trying to track down car owner Jared Dacombe, after seeing him out driving. “I knew Zac would love to see the Delorean up close,” she says. When she finally contacted Jared through social media, he offered to take Zac for a spin. “I couldn’t believe how kind of him that was,” Donna says. “It’s more than a dream come true for Zac.” Jared, who owns Autofocus Nelson, says that he was also obsessed with Deloreans at Zac’s age and knew how much a ride in one would mean to him. “I used to look up prices of Deloreans as a 12-year-old and dream of owning one.” Just seven years later, when Jared was 19, he sold everything he owned to scrape together the $17,000 to buy one he’d seen online. “Everything got sold, PlayStation,

glass was missing - including the front windscreen. “I spent three years working on it every spare minute I had. “Before and after work and even during my lunch breaks. It was my entire life.” He estimates he’s spent a further $30,000 turning the car into the masterpiece it is today.

Zac can’t thank Jared enough for his Delorean experience and says he would like his own one day. “It’s either that or a Tesla. I love the way the doors open, the sound of the engine - just the whole thing.” The going rate for Deloreans in New Zealand is between $70,000 and $85,000, although Jared would never sell. “I had someone offer me $80k but I turned it down. I’d never be able to get another one.”

Ash keeps smiling through cancer fight Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Rachel Harris’ worst nightmare was realised when after weeks of testing, doctors revealed that her nine-year-old son was battling cancer. “I just felt the blood drain out of my body.” Ashton Harris-Russell has been diagnosed with stage three non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and is currently in Christchurch receiving treatment. Just a month before his ninth birthday, the Hira School student began to feel unwell and, as the school holidays rolled around, he could not stop vomiting. After a third doctor’s visit, he was diagnosed with giardia, a form of gastroenteritis. “Unfortunately, this masked all his other symptoms,” says Rachel. Ash was unable to shake the illness and spent the majority of terms two and three off school. He was struck down with a chest infection soon after and complained of back pains while panting in his sleep. Thinking he could have pneumonia, Rachel took her son in for further testing and x-rays. However, the tests revealed something much worse, and Ash was quickly flown down to Christchurch. The worst-case scenario was then confirmed. Having already lost her mother to cancer three years ago, Rachel was quick to assure her son it was not the same type of cancer that took his grandmother. “I told him the doctors were going to give him some special medicine to make him better. I tried to keep level. I knew if I got worried, he would start to get worried.” Rachel says she has been in awe of her son’s bravery and resilience. “He has totally impressed me. A little trooper is exactly what he is.” Ash has remained his happy self despite the invasive treatments. “He’s never lost it,” Rachel says. “He has taken it all on the chin, all the needles and tests.” Ash even had the doctors

He only recently completed his second week of a 14week treatment plan. His first cycle of chemotherapy resulted in him being riddled with ulcers. The pain required a morphine drip for four days and Ash dropped from 32kg to 27kg. “He didn’t move much. That was the toughest week,” says Rachel. Fortunately, Ash is currently “riding a good wave” as he enters week three. His body is already beginning to fight back as the growths in both his kidneys and lungs have shrunk. “It’s great getting that information, that he’s responding so well.” Ashton has been given an 85 per cent chance of survival. “I’ve got my head around that now and I’ve adjusted to our new normal. Now we are focusing on each day at a time.” Rachel has two other children at home in Nelson, her daughter, aged five, and oldest son, aged 15. “They are really missing us but, luckily, my family has stepped into my role at home and taken care of everything.” Ash’s father and siblings managed to visit last week which helped raise the young boy’s spirits. He says the thing he misses the most is family.

“His little sister just dotes on him. It was so nice to see a real cool reunion, but Ash and I felt a bit empty when they left.” Rachel says her family has been overwhelmed by the support of the community. “We are totally blown away, it’s so humbling.” Among them is Lisa Trusler. “She has been his coach for four years and she is just an amazing lady.” With the help of Probrands, Lisa has designed a t-shirt in Ash’s favourite colour, red, to be sold as a fundraiser. The ‘Fist bump for Ash’ campaign aims to show Ash how many people are supporting him as ‘part of his team’. All proceeds will go to his family to help with anything they may need. Ash’s favourite rugby team has also come on board to offer their support, with Ash receiving a signed jersey, cap and personalised message from David Havili and Ethan Blackadder. “He is a big Mako fan, even more so now.” The rugby-mad Ashton dreams of being an All Black one day. So dedicated to his under

nine Nelson rugby team, he continued to turn up to training despite “feeling rubbish”. “He loves his rugby. He still tried to play most of the games. In later months he could only play 15 minutes at a time, I thought he was recovering from the giardia and didn’t realise something more sinister was going on.” Though a bit worn down, Ash is in top spirits and is already eyeing a return to the rugby field. Last week, he was enjoying a change of scenery in a hotel room and some time to play on his PlayStation. Rachel is urging parents to listen carefully to their children when they complain of pain. “The symptoms can be next to nothing and go so undiagnosed. If you have any slight concerns that something might not be normal, definitely push to get it tested. You are their best advocate.” Rachel wants to give a “huge thank you” to everybody who has supported the family. “We are doing ok and that is thanks to all the love and support.”

Opinion

Your Voice Three Waters: Seeing the map dividing the country into four regions made it 100 percent clear that common sense is extinct in New Zealand. Nelson rivers are South Island rivers. Nelson lakes are South Island lakes. Nelson mountain ranges are South Island mountains. These provide our water. To be grouped with parts of the North Island makes no sense at all. Plus, we would turn into the forgotten piece as the focus would be on Wellington and the East Coast of the North Island. We would become powerless and invisible. Our needs here in the south would be lost in red tape.

Developers of a new, innovative float clamp

Cultural awareness workshops have been gaining attention in the region and the people behind them hope that their popularity will continue to grow. In June 2020, Multicultural Nelson Tasman approached social worker Birte Becker-Steel who had hosted such workshops for over two decades. Birte has a background in education and culture awareness training offered by the then Office of Ethnic Affairs. However, she sought a career change after the country’s 2020 lockdowns. “In my work, I was dealing with people from around 60 different ethnicities,” Birte says. Generally, the workshops cover topics like the value of diversity, understanding another’s cultural values and addressing the harms of stereotyping and internalised biases. She says she’s seen the impact confronting discussions can have. “People’s questions seem to always be different and people start reflecting. For some it’s somewhat emotional, it’s not easy and it can be a bit confronting,” she says. “Most people leave saying that triggered their interest and they want to know more … It’s about raising awareness of our own cultures as well as other cultures.” A free public workshop was at the Māpua Community Hall on Saturday. Multicultural Nelson Tasman man-

ager Anna Fyfe says the workshops are provided free of charge to organisations as well as the wider public. “They have been incredibly wellreceived. One attendee commented ‘these should be rolled out to the masses’.” Cultural awareness workshops have been implemented to organisations like Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology classes, Ministry of Education staff, Top of the South Neighbourhood Support, Nelson Tasman’s Multicultural Youth Groups and Nelson’s Cancer Society with more planned. Nelson Cancer Society’s support coordinator Cyndy Smith says the team valued the day-long workshop with Birte. “It was interactive and a great mix of discussion, education and reflection. We would absolutely recommend this training to other organisations.” These workshops are supported by Multiculrual Nelson Tasman and through funding from the Ethnic Communities Development Fund as well as Nelson City and Tasman District Councils. Multicultural Nelson Tasman plans to seek more funding so workshops can continue to be provided to organisations and community groups, as well as to the general public. “We’re planning to continue these,” Anna says. “It’s a good model with excellent feedback and we’re happy to work with any partners of any organisation or company that is interested in rolling this training out.”

Nelson City Council’s feedback to the Government on Three Waters The Government asked councils to provide feedback on the proposed Three Waters Reform programme by 1 October 2021. Here is Nelson City Council’s response in full:

Tēnā koe Minister,

Nelson City Council’s response to government’s proposed three waters reform I am writing on behalf of Nelson City’s elected members to reflect Nelson City Council’s (NCC) decision to respond to the Government on your proposed Three Waters Reform programme. Since the Government announced additional detail on the proposed Three Waters Reform programme at the Local Government New Zealand (LGNZ) Conference, NCC has been reviewing and analysing the proposal to understand the Government’s national case for change, the implications for Nelson City’s ratepayers and the changing environment of providing three water services to our community. Thank you for providing us with an opportunity to give our feedback on the proposal. As part of our due diligence, we commissioned Morrison Low to review the Water Industry Commission for Scotland’s (WICS) analysis of the dashboard information for Nelson City. While this analysis highlighted some differences due to the assumptions used, the main conclusion was that the WICS dashboards illustrated the ‘right direction’ in terms of costs for provision of water services in the future.

be clarified publicly prior to Cabinet discussing the next stage of the reform. NCC has concerns about the governance model. Additionally, we have concerns that the proposal could potentially increase the risk of future privatisation of three water assets. NCC strongly support the measures that reduce, or better still, eliminate the risk of privatisation. The proposed boundary between Entity C and Entity D is a cause of concern for both Marlborough and Tasman District Councils, as it could mean their districts are split between the two entities. Both Marlborough and Tasman have expressed a preference that their districts are not split by these reforms. NCC supports this view. The reforms have been extremely challenging for our communities to assess and understand, and this has caused significant anxiety. The public information campaign has not met the needs of our community, as they have struggled to access clear and meaningful information to help them understand the issues. If the Government decides to proceed further with the Three Waters Reform then there needs to be a significant improvement in the public information campaign. We remain concerned that the public will not have an opportunity to provide meaningful feedback on the proposal. We look forward to the Government announcing the next steps in the reform programme, including how you will ensure there will be adequate consultation with the community. Nāku noa, nā

NCC had two elected member workshops, on 31 August and 9 September this year, with Morrison Low and LGNZ presenting their analysis. These workshops were recorded and made publicly available to our community. These workshops focused on the financial information, proposed governance structure, community representation and implications for NCC and the community. Additionally, NCC held two webinar public meetings via Zoom (due to COVID-19 Alert Level restrictions) on 14 and 16 September 2021. The webinars were an opportunity to share information about the proposal and for members of the public to ask questions. They were recorded and made publicly available. NCC’s response is informed by the elected member workshops, public meetings and correspondence received from the public. On 23 September 2021 Council resolved to respond to the Government with the questions and issues set out in the attachment to this letter. It would be helpful for these matters to

Nelson City Council: Questions and Issues Environmental standards and climate adaptation •

How will the Government ensure that the Water Service Entities plan and deliver resilient water services, alongside the efficiency gains as proposed? Resilient water services are just as important as efficiency gains.

•

Will the Government place obligations on the Water Service Entities to plan for, and deliver, enhancements and restoration to our environment? This includes, but is not limited to, stormwater and wastewater discharges and restoration of our freshwater ecosystems alongside providing high quality drinking water.

Support package •

•

What are the conditions attached to this package? What is the rationale for linking the funding to community wellbeing, climate change and housing? Does this include timeframes during which the package will need to be spent? Is the Government willing to negotiate an increase in quantum for the ‘better off’ package or a greater share coming from the Crown? When will more details on the ‘no worse off’ package be released?

this role considering all three waters income will be going to the new entities? Or is this a future participation cost that will passed to local government with no compensation or revenue stream? This same issue will apply to mana whenua and needs to be addressed. •

How will the provision of stormwater services operate? How will the planning and implementation of this be integrated between the councils and Water Service Entities? If Council is to continue to provide flood resilience how will this be integrated with the Water Service Entity?

•

Local Government directly engages with local communities on three waters service levels and delivery. How will this occur with the Water Services Entities?

•

How will the entities respond to economic development opportunities that happen out of the planning cycle?

•

How will the entities respond to economic development opportunities that may not be of significance at entity level but are of significance at a local level?

•

What guarantees or undertakings can be given to ensure that planned and anticipated investment in the three waters infrastructure in Nelson would not be compromised or delayed?

Transfer of assets/financials •

Does the Government intend for Water Catchment Areas to be considered assets for transfer to the new entities understanding that some of these are gazetted as reserves or serve dual purposes for both utility and recreation/ conservation functions?

•

Is the land underneath three water assets, such as land which contains pump stations, stormwater detention ponds, water supply dams, storage reservoirs, treatment plants considered part of the assets which are proposed to transfer to the new entities? If not, will these require property agreements with councils?

•

How will the new entities be funded? What would this look like and will it include rating mechanisms?

•

How would the proposed cross-subsidisation between various council areas operate? Accepting that there will be some net beneficiaries, how do we ensure that places like Nelson that have invested in three waters infrastructure are not penalised because other councils have not invested at the same level?

Governance structure and representation •

The structure, including the Regional Representative Group, is too convoluted, with councils too far removed from the entity. NCC wants to see this aspect of the reform addressed to achieve stronger accountability to councils, while still ensuring balance sheet separation.

•

The Statement of Intent process is too opaque, and councils need more influence. These are critical documents of influence that directly impact the placemaking role of local government.

•

How will the Regional Representative Group be established and how will appointments be made?

•

Will social procurement be factored into the new entity? If so, would this include the living wage, non-commercial board fees, gender equity and contracted local services?

•

Why isn’t a cooperative model being considered?

•

How can the Government ensure that privatisation will not occur in the long-term, noting a future Parliament’s ability to amend the legislation?

•

How will the Government ensure that the levels of debt of the water service entities will remain prudent, considering the councils will still be the owners of those entities?

•

How will iwi involvement in the Regional Representative Group be determined?

•

What assurances can be given that existing staff, local contractors, and resources would be retained in the Nelson region? What options are being considered to increase resources based in the Nelson region to support the proposed Entity C?

Economic regulator •

Additional information is required on how planning integration between the water service entity and councils will operate to ensure efficiencies, prioritisation, and responsiveness to local issues and circumstances.

•

Does the Government see a role for councils in the future planning and engagement with three waters alongside the new Water Service Entities? Will councils be remunerated for

How will the proposed regulator ensure that the efficiency gains promoted through the reforms are achieved?

Consultation process •

The reform programme will coincide with the 2022 local body elections. Does the Government see any impact on these elections, and can councils make decisions which will bind a future council considering the reforms will be completed post the 2022 local elections?

•

This is the Government’s proposal and communication with the public on these reforms need to be led by the Government. When communicating with the public additional information needs to be provided about what the proposal means for them in terms of future water pricing, levels of service, and local consumer voice.

•

There is significant public commentary around the need for consultation with the community, due to the significance of the reforms. Council has received feedback requesting a referendum, or full public consultation, prior to implementation of the reforms. We seek urgent clarity on the Government’s next steps and intentions for consultation.

Planning integration •

Your electricity discount is on its way Network Tasman is pleased to announce that its consumers will receive a discount credit on their next power bill.

Local charities short of volunteers Sara Hollyman Reporter

sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz Local organisations are crying out for volunteers after restrictions and apprehensions around Covid-19 make people more cautious about lending a hand. Natureland is desperate for more volunteer workers with only a handful of helpers to run their Nelson New to You charity store, which is open six days a week. Volunteer coordinator Karen Cooper says many people had big clear-outs in lockdown and donated goods to the shop. “Our volunteers play a crucial role in helping us to achieve our conservation goals and we’d love to hear from anyone who may have a few hours to spare each week to help out.” IHC Charity Shop Richmond manager, Gill Burson, says they are always looking for more volunteers, but especially so now. “A lot of our volunteers are in the retired age bracket and with Covid and different health issues, you could always do with more help.” She says the store only has one part-time paid employee so couldn’t function without its volunteers. “All our profits stay in the area to help people with disabilities. We don’t put the funds towards wages, so we rely on volunteers. A lot of volunteers do more than one shift but any extra help would be great,” Gill says. However, St John Ambulance found lockdown had the opposite effect on volunteer numbers. National operations manager ambulance volunteering, James Stewart, says during August they saw volunteer applications double compared with July. “Nationally in July we had 120 applications to be an ambulance volunteer, in August that number was up to 240.” James credits the extra time at home for people to reconsider their life priorities to the jump in applications, but says once life returns somewhat to normal, often people feel like they don’t have enough time to follow through with the commitment. St John has 240 ambulance volunteers in Tasman. Volunteer Nelson manager Gordon Oldfield

also found more people decided they wanted to contribute to the community by becoming a volunteer during the lockdowns. “However, once lockdown ended many felt apprehensive about going out and doing that volunteering, so there was an internal conflict between the desire to volunteer and going out and doing it. “Last year, older people were told that they were vulnerable, and many were told to stop volunteering, so once we came down alert levels it took a while for them to come out,” Gordon says. He hopes that with a high uptake of vaccination, it won’t be so bad this time around.

$6.3m of discounts to be provided to consumers Network Tasman will credit a total of $6.3m to consumers’ next power bills. Consumer ownership and a focus on cost efficiency has enabled Network Tasman to credit $212 million of discounts back to consumers in the region since the discount scheme’s inception in 1994. Network Tasman will credit $13.2m in discounts back to consumers in 2021/22: $6.3m will be credited in the coming weeks and $6.9m is forecast to be credited to consumers in autumn 2022.

Rachel George may have had her first baby only four months before starting to play netball for Stoke, but she managed to come away with the title of the season’s top player. Rachel George, nee Kersten, was named Nelson Netball’s Most Valuable Player for 2021. However, she only heard about it via a Zoom announcement after rushing to get cellphone reception in the remote Golden Bay. “We were in Wharariki Beach and were hustling back trying to get some reception.” Rachel managed to get some bars and the news she was named the top netballer in Nelson. “It was very unexpected, but very exciting.” Her husband Dan proceeded to toot the car horn loudly in celebration. The couple had just moved back to Nelson in December and Rachel recently gave birth to their first child, Archie.

I think Archie is a pretty great baby so I feel very lucky that he lets me get some sleep and is pretty happy and content.” She is hopeful of a return to action in 2022. “The knee is not 100 per cent but we will see how we go.”

The Mako Women ended its season in disappointing fashion on Sunday, going down to the Manawatu Cyclones 85-7 at Trafalgar Park. One shining light for the hosts was this superb try for skipper Sui Pauaraisa. Tasman ends its season without a win and five heavy losses. Its points differential was an unenviable -205.

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week with Kiwis of all ages urged to take check of their most important gift, well-being. MHAW is run annually by the Mental Health Foundation and has been since 1993. MHAW is endorsed by the World Federation for Mental Health and is marked in over 150 countries at different times of the year. This year's theme is take time to kōrero/mā te kōrero, ka ora - a little chat can go a long way. This MHAW is all about connecting with the people in our lives and creating space for conversations about mental health and well-being. Whether it’s checking in with a mate, having a kōrero over some kai or saying hello to a stranger, a little chat can go a long way. Beginning on Monday 27 September, over 13,000 people, organisations, schools and kura will jump on board to take part in well-being activities throughout the week. Now more than ever, as New Zealanders adapt to changing alert levels, it’s important to connect with others and create space for conversations about mental health and well-being.

“All New Zealanders have had a tough couple of months going through lockdowns to fight the spread of Covid-19” says Shaun Robinson, chief executive of the MHF. “It’s only inevitable that frustration is setting in as we move in and out of different levels of contact. It’s so helpful to con-

Mā te whakarongo, ka mōhio through listening, comes knowledge Mā te mōhio, ka mārama through knowledge, comes understanding nect with others, have a kōrero and a laugh.” Health Minister Andrew Little says you never know when someone, who is feeling vulnerable, stops to talk, and just how much of a difference that can make. The MHAW 2021 Guide provides day by day activities that can be done at school, work or home, inspired by Te Whare Tapa Whā and the Five Ways to Wellbeing, which are simple

strategies proven to boost wellbeing. There are plenty more resources available to download from our website, aimed at both tamariki and adults, to help everyone get involved whatever alert level they’re in. For the competitive among us, the social media-based MHAW Challenge kicks off on Monday 27 September - each weekday there will be a daily challenge designed to get people having a kōrero in a different way, with awesome prizes up for grabs. You can also subscribe to receive email updates to guide you through the week and help you plan your best MHAW yet. Shaun reminds New Zealanders that your mental health is a taonga and that it needs to be treated like the treasure it is. “It’s important to acknowledge everyone goes through hard times, and sometimes your mental health and well-being might not feel as good as you’d like it to. Developing greater understanding of your own mental well-being and of others in your life, will help us all through both good and challenging times.”

Jonty Dine Reporter

jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz

The Waimai United women’s hockey team can now call themselves champions for the very first time after being on the brink of folding just one year ago. Waimai took out the premier women’s division in dramatic fashion on Saturday afternoon. Locked up at 1-all after regulation time with Federal Rawlings, Waimai went on to win a shootout 4-2 to cap a sensational season. Waimai dropped just a single game all year, scoring 53 goals and conceding

only 16. Skipper Nic Brydon says she was incredibly proud of her side. “It means the world to the team to win the title as it has never been won by Waimai before.” Nic says the team has an incredibly close and positive team culture. Waimai opened the scoring in the second quarter through Amanda Pearce before Federal’s Karen Eden squared the ledger from a penalty shot in the third quarter. “Our team fought hard in the finals,” Nic says. “We attacked and held possession most game with lots of goal-scoring opportunities that we couldn’t

convert, they did well to defend us.” In a tense shootout, it was the experience of goalie Susan Gall who repelled two crucial shots while Nic, Lou-Ann Botha and Alisha Lewis, all slotted theirs to claim the historic victory. Nic says coach Alan Register was instrumental to their success and helping them rebuild from last year. Last March, Waimai was struggling for numbers and calling on local women to help save the club. Meanwhile, Tasman White defeated Tasman Black 2-1 in the men’s premier final, a competition dominated by the teams.

Lack of execution blamed for Mako’s rare home defeat

Peter Jones

Tasman’s 2021 provincial rugby campaign might need a tuneup after a rare loss at home on Friday. The Mako was out-thought, out-enthused, and out-scored for the majority of their 39-22 loss to Waikato at Trafalgar Park. It had been seven years since Waikato had got the better of Tasman and 14 years since they had beaten the Mako away from home. Tasman head coach Andrew Goodman described his side’s effort as “disappointing”. He laid the blame for their demise at lack of execution. Andrew said the side’s build-up during the week had gone well. “That’s the frustrating thing about it … there was good energy, intent, and accuracy [about our training] but we

just didn’t follow through tonight, for whatever reason.” Tasman’s woes stemmed from an inability to stamp their mark on the game in the early stages. They landed a second-minute penalty and had multiple opportunities through a wealth of possession. However, poor option-taking, lack of ball control and a staunch Waikato defence kept the visitors in the game, both physically and mentally. Then, two tries against the runof-play added to the visiting side’s self-belief while Tasman’s lack of attacking variation became apparent. Among a few bright spots for Tasman on Friday were the efforts of debutant Macca Stringer and replacement halfback Louie Chapman, who brought some urgency to the party. Once again, Timoci Tavatavanawai was a potent ball of

energy on the wing and extremely unlucky to be penalised late in the match when Tasman was pushing hard for a bonus point try. But that pretty much summed up how the evening played out for the home side. Andrew said the players had taken the result hard. “They are hurt, really hurt. “They all care for this team and when we don’t get the performance and result they will hold themselves and each other accountable.” Expect a swift return to his usual lofty standards this weekend when Tasman host Southland at Lansdowne Park on Sunday, kick-off 4.35pm. Scorers: Waikato 39 (CoombsFabling 2, Lansdown, Wrampling, Cortez Ratima tries, Smith 4 con, 2 pen) Tasman 22 (Fainga’anuku, Frizell, Makalio tries, Hunt 2 cons, pen).

CHAMPIONS

2021 South Island 1st XV | 2021 Quadrangular Tournament | 2021 Miles Toyota Championship A dominant season was capped by a dominant performance on Saturday as Nelson College cemented its status as the best first XV in the South Island. Nelson was far too strong for Highlanders schools’ champions Otago Boys High, dispatching the southerners 27-19 in Dunedin on Saturday afternoon. A late comeback flattered the scoreboard for Otago, but Nelson proved a class above at Forsyth Barr Stadium. Wil Thornalley was outstanding at halfback, producing some scintillating runs while controlling his pack with maturity well beyond his years. Dual play-makers in Cooper Grant and Ollie Inch were also wreaking havoc on the Otago defence. It was a fitting swansong for skipper Inch who has enjoyed a storied career during his three years in the 1st XV. Ollie, in his 50th cap for the 1st XV, says he was incredibly proud of his side following the midfielders second South Island title. “We will be brothers for life.” It took less than two minutes for Nelson to get on the board, Ben Lefale exploding through a hole as Hunter Leppien put it on a platter for his prop. Cooper Grant stretched the lead

shown a yellow card for collapsing a surging maul, but Nelson continued to keep Otago out, Grant slotting his second penalty to give his side a 13-0 halftime

advantage. Otago could still not crack the Nelson defence, despite two near 40 metre rolling mauls ending within inches of the line.

Finally, after 41 minutes, the hosts got over the chalk through Alex McLaughlan, but Nelson struck back immediately as Nic Sauira capped a clinical movement.

CHAMPIONS

2021 South Island 1st XV | 2021 Quadrangular Tournament | 2021 Miles Toyota Championship The inevitable Netani Baleisomosomo try came shortly after as Nelson began to cut ribbons in the Otago defence. Otago refused to lie down however, Finn Hurley pulling one back for the hosts as he opted for a quick tap and showed some fleet footwork to reduce the margin to 13. Hurley looked to spark an unlikely comeback as the first five again scythed through a hole and set up winger Aaron Morrison to out-sprint the cover defence and bring them right back into the contest. The hosts continued to hammer away and Joseph Domoni was given a second yellow for Nelson, but a tight-head would prove the final nail in Otago's coffin. Nelson booked its berth in the final via a dramatic 22-20 victory over Christ's College in the Crusader’s schools final. Nelson trailled for 67 minutes of the Miles Toyota Championship final, until a late try to winger Timoci Sauira sealed the win and Nelson's third Crusaders Schools title. Sauira says it felt like an age for skipper Ollie Inch's skip pass to arrive. "The pressure was all on me, but I just kept my head down and ran to the line." Down 15-3 at halftime, Nelson

whose connection in the outside backs made for many highlights. Hunter Leppien was an absolute workhorse in the pack while Natani Baleisomosomo was a regular on the try-scoring sheets. Jacob Neha-Manihera showed his leadership qualities throughout and provided plenty of impetus from number eight. The Wil Thornalley and Cooper Grant combination gave Nelson both stability and unpredictability and Ollie Inch continued to prove his class. With a slew of year 13’s set to leave in 2022, the 2021 Nelson College side will go down in history as one of its greats. Scorers: Nelson 27 (Lefale, Sauira, Baleisomosomo, tries, Grant 3 cons, 2 pens). Otago 19 (McLaughlan, Hurley, Morrison tries, Hurley 2 cons).

"We knew we could do it, we just had to believe and trust in the processes," says Ollie. Inch has been involved in a number of triumphs in his three years in the 1st XV. He played in three Quad wins on the trot and the 2019 championship winning side, but says, as captain, this victory ranks right up there.

"This one is pretty special, just so proud of the boys, they have worked so hard this season." Nelson ends the year as both the South Island and Crusaders school’s champions, as well as another Quad title and just a single loss all season, courtesy of a last minute intercept by Marlborough Boys.
