Huge rate increase for Tasman Jenny nicholson Tasman District Council will need to increase rates much higher than what was expected to deal with rising costs, mayor Tim King says. However, calls that the council is on a “spending frenzy” have been
rejected in light of an “impossible” financial situation for the region. The TDC is proposing rates increases that are considerably higher than expected. On Thursday the council voted to release the draft Annual Plan 2022/23 for public consultation.

The draft has two options for rates increase, the first being a 7.7 per cent increase. The second option, which the councillors’ favour, is a 5.51 per cent increase with some work and projects deferred. Both options exceed what was set out in last years’ Long-Term Plan - a proposed rates increase of 4.17
per cent. Mayor Tim King admits the situation is far from ideal and that some tough decisions have had to be made. “When developing our plans for the next financial year, the council is keenly aware of the pressures everyone is currently facing.”
However, despite challenges they still need to manage and deliver essential services. “Like businesses and households, the council is experiencing pressures from external economic factors including high fuel costs,

Proposed rates increase much higher than first thought fRoM PAGE 1 inflation, higher interest and finance charges, supply chain issues, and skills shortages.” Implementing government requirements is also having a significant impact on costs, as are the cost increases associated with the Waimea Dam. While the draft proposes an overall increase to rates of 5.51 per cent, the impact of rate increases on individual properties will vary. The draft gave examples of properties in different areas of Tasman, stating the increases for these properties were between 2.2 per cent and 14 per cent. Tasman District councillor Dana Wensley says they have done their best in an impossible situation.
She says they are not out of the woods yet, even with increased rates and deferrals. Dana joined several other councillors who aired their concern over deferring work, citing the impact it will have in the future. Included in the proposed deferrals was a lower budget for maintenance and operations in transportation, stormwater, water supply and river activities. The document acknowledges there is a level of risk in reducing the budgets, and that there will be a lower ability to respond to requests from the public. “It does put future councils in an unstable position with us kicking things down the road,” Dana says. “It’s hard for us but harder for whoever follows.” However, she disagreed with Mark
Greening’s comments that the council had been on a spending spree. Mark says he had previously raised his concerns over spending. “I have tried to focus on keeping costs down, but there has been a spending frenzy.” Dana absolutely rejected that language. “That term is inflammatory. None of us want to be in this position. What we are doing today is a hard decision.” The Annual Plan 2022/2023 Community Consultation Document has been released.

Accused bach arsonist forced to get treatment
Tracy Neal
Open Justice Reporter
The man accused of burning down a nationally significant heritage bach on Nelson’s Boulder Bank has been placed under a compulsory treatment order. The man, who received permanent name suppression, was recently found not guilty of the arson charge and a list of other charges, because he was considered insane at the time. The man, who appeared in the Nelson District Court on Monday via an audio link, was charged with arson following last November’s inferno on the Boulder Bank. The blaze was seen by hundreds and prompted multiple calls to emergency services, but the small wooden building - built in the 1880s - was destroyed. It was one of only six baches remaining on the Boulder Bank which were officially recognised for their special character, said to be exemplary of the traditional and increasingly rare New Zealand seaside bach. The court heart recently that health assessments found the man suffered from schizophrenia, and harboured delu-

Along with the fire he was accused of incidents in August and September last year, including assault, assaulting police, threatening to kill, wilful damage, and indecent assault. The man was found not guilty on each charge by reason of insanity, and was remanded to a hospital or secure facility for further inquiries regarding his mental disposition, until 4 April. Judge Michelle Duggan said during the man’s final appearance in court that day, that the subsequent reports concluded the man had been experiencing a “severe, chronic, psychotic episode” in that schizophrenia was active throughout the time his behaviour led to the charges. He was also impacted by a personality style described as con-
sistent with autism. Judge Duggan said the medical term was that he was “labouring under a disease of the mind”. She said the latest report suggested the man would benefit from a long period in hospital with frequent monitoring. He was placed under the compulsory treatment order in a hospital. The baches have been the domain of seafaring families for decades, although some, including the one that was destroyed last November, were thought to have originated as rough shelters built by fishermen in the late 1800s.

Raised zebra crossings for Salisbury Rd Jo Kent Salisbury Road will have new raised pedestrian crossings by the middle of the year. Tasman District Council installed speed cushions just before the zebra crossings outside Waimea Intermediate last January. It was part of a Salisbury Road schools safety trail initiative responding to safety concerns by the school and police. The feedback to Tasman District Council has been positive, so a permanent raised zebra crossing, like those at the Champion Rd roundabout, will now be installed. Raised crossings help to keep people safe by lowering vehicle speeds at the busy crossing points. The installation of the raised crossings will be timed as part of the tidy up process at the end of the Salisbury Rd watermain installation project which is currently underway and due for completion in July. As part of the changes, the temporary speed cushions will be removed but the cycle lane separators will be retained.
Fatal crash on Beach Rd
sARA hollyMAn
The road toll on Nelson Tasman roads has once again increased after a horror period saw the death of five motorists in the region. One person died following a serious crash on Beach Rd, Richmond on Friday night. Police were called to the singlevehicle crash about 8.55pm.
Ambulance and Richmond fire crews were in attendance. The road was closed while the Serious Crash Unit examined the scene. The latest death was the fifth fatality on the region’s roads in just 22 days. Tasman policing district acting road policing manager Hamish Chapman says, tragically it is a very unusual occurence and not
a trend anyone wants to see continue. He says all of the crashes are still under investigation but initial indications are showing that there is a common theme coming through. “One of the very common denominators is speed is rearing its head. “All these crashes are still under investigation, but our initial
indications are speed is an absolute factor, a couple of them were alcohol combined with speed, now that’s not a very good combination, it’s a poor combination. He asks people to slow down and drive to the conditions. “And I can’t stress enough, be aware of other road users, drive to allow yourself time to react to someone else’s mistake.”
New playgrounds for Meadows Jenny nicholson Families in The Meadows will soon have their choice of three playgrounds to explore. The first playground to be completed is likely to be Central Park, which Tasman District Council communications manager Chris Choat says it is an allage playground of medium size. The concept design shows the children’s area which is likely to suit preschoolers but there will be fitness equipment like that in Saxon Field for parents and older children to enjoy. Central Park will feature both
hard and soft surfacing and is due to be completed in June. Rosales Park is a larger playground and is still at the concept design stage. Planned completion is about a year away. While Central Park will contain play equipment for smaller children, the playground equipment shown for Rosales Park will be designed to cater to a wide range of ages. Summerfield Park is a more passive area, with open space and seating. “It will have minimal equipment,” Chris says. “It’s a ‘I want to enjoy space’ area.”

three areas across the bridge have been allocated for playgrounds. All are still at the conceptual stage.

tDC wait for government action on three Waters
Tasman District Council are hoping to host public consultation on Three Waters Reform later this month. Community infrastructure manager Richard Kirby presented an update on the reform to the council’s operational committee on Thursday. The Three Waters Entities Bill has been delayed to allow feedback from a working group of mayors and iwi representatives that presented its findings last month. Richard hopes the bill will go through Parliament over the next couple of weeks, allowing the council to consult with the community once public submissions open through the select committee process.
$100 increase for burial fees
Tasman District Council’s draft Annual Plan 2022/23 proposed a price increase for a standard burial plot of $100, taking the cost to $1,400. There is also a proposed $550 increase for the ‘out of district fee’, an additional $1,400 for anyone who wishes to be buried in a Tasman cemetery but does not live within the distict, for example, those in nearby Nelson. For ash burial, the proposed fee is $550, up from the current $523. Sage Hamilton takes a closer look at the Richmond as Cardboard on display at Richmond Library. Photo: Jo Kent.
Cardboard city built at library Jo Kent A town built entirely from discarded cardboard has been created at Richmond Library and is on display for the rest of the month. Libraries manager Glennis Coote says, over the course of four workshops locals were asked to use their imagination and creativity to produce a cardboard version
of Richmond. “Collaborative art projects are a great way to bring a community together. They’re also fun inter-generational projects for families to work on.” The project was inspired by an art installation at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tamaki called ‘From Pillars to Posts: Project Another Country’, by artists Alfredo
and Isabel Aquilizan. “Our workshops were a huge success and it’s been interesting to see what designs and constructions people have come up with,” Glennis says. Library visitor Sage Hamilton, 7, was thrilled to look around the handmade houses. “I liked the skate park best because it had lots of little details. There was a half-pipe
and even a grind rail.” Other features in the model were a school and several houses, some even had miniature cardboard furniture inside. “We hope it inspires other families or children to make their own creations at home,” Glennis says. The Handmade City exhibition is free and runs until the end of April.

Richmond welcomes back a national treasure Jo Kent The Kiwi nurse who helped treat the British Prime Minister when he had Covid-19 is giving talks in Richmond about her experiences as a London ICU nurse during the pandemic. Jenny McGee, whose parents live in Redwood Valley, is back in the country after a gruelling two years working on the frontline as an NHS nurse. “It took me a very, very long time to get a spot in MIQ, but I’m finally home for a couple of months to spend as much time as I can with my family,” she says. “I haven’t had extended time off for a few years so it’s therapeutic being home.” Jenny was catapulted into the media spotlight after UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was admitted to St Thomas’ Hospital where she worked. “I looked after him with one other nurse and when he was discharged, Boris thanked us in a public address and credited us for saving his life. “From that point on, my world exploded.” Jenny says she’s been on a wild ride ever since with offers of book deals, TV appearances and sackloads of fan mail.
“I was just doing my job, but even coming back to New Zealand two years after it happened, I was asked to appear on TVNZ’s Breakfast show. It’s nuts.” She puts the media frenzy down to the fact the world needed a feel good story in the middle of the first wave of Covid when the world was in lockdown. “Jacinda Ardern messaged me and thanked me personally and the whole country was just so proud that a Kiwi nurse had helped save the Prime Minister’s life. It was a positive story during such an awful time.” But despite the media storm Jenny found herself in, the mental and physical burnout of her job had already started to take its toll. “You won’t find anyone who was more in the thick of it than me and experiencing how hard that was. New Zealand still has a tough time understanding what that was like, but I want to describe it to people if I can, so they can appreciate how well this country has done.” She says the main difference between New Zealand and the UK during the pandemic was the loss of life. “It was on a whole different level. We are talking over 100,000 deaths from Covid. And in Lon-

Photo: Supplied. don, everyone knows someone who has lost someone to Covid. Here, no one really knows anyone who has died of it, not on that scale, and that’s the big difference. It was so dark in the UK, such dark times because of the sheer loss of life and the sheer tragedy that was going on.
“It was so all consuming and a really depressing time.” The British public didn’t start getting vaccinated until a year after Covid hit, and Jenny says that’s the number one reason why it was so bad in the UK. “By the time Omicron made it to New Zealand, the country had 95
per cent of their population double vaxxed, which is incredible. The country effectively had two years to prepare for a virus that came and by the time it arrived, it was a lot milder version.” After publicly resigning from the NHS in May last year, Jenny worked in Curaçao, in the Caribbean, for several months before returning to London to do vaccination work. “It was incredible to be able to go to the most picturesque beaches I’ve ever seen in my life. “It really helped me heal from the first and second wave of Covid-19 because that was a dark period of my life and my career, but one that I’m immensely proud of. “I’ve shown a lot of resilience and I’ve taken a lot from it. I feel very lucky to have been able to go out and do that.” During her time in New Zealand, Jenny will be talking about her experiences to fundraise for the Waimea Soroptimists. “My mum is an active member of the charity and I’m happy to be able to give back in any way I can. “What an awesome thing to be able to do.” If you’d like a ticket to one of her talks, email siwaimea@siswp.org for details.

Francois Prinsloo, 7, with his 10-year-old brother Victor who designed a range of clothes, caps and masks. Photo: Supplied.
Murchison’s designer Jenny nicholson Victor Prinsloo is on to his third business venture, and he is just 10-years-old. “I was bored waiting for my age to grow and wanted a business now.” His latest project is designing caps, masks, hoodies, tee-shirts, and shoes, and prior to shifting from Auckland to Murchison he says the caps and masks were selling quite well. Victor’s mother Charlice says about 18 months ago he wanted to be his own boss, so he rounded up some neighbourhood kids to do a car wash. He then had the idea of a lawnmowing round. “Doing the lawns myself took too long so I got a crew,” Victor says. “I paid them evenly and paid myself too.” He has called his clothing line Whazapi, a word he and his sevenyear-old brother Francois came up with while inventing their own language. Victor designs many of the products on his computer but also has hand-drawn designs. Victor has been diagnosed with ADHD and this has been a major
factor in his designs. “His main focus is on people with ADHD and other illnesses that make them ‘different’ from the ‘normal’ kids,” Charlice says. “He wants those labelled kids to be okay and accept who they are and not to be scared to live the life they want or for their illness to capture or imprison them.” Victor says he is developing a brand where kids like himself are free to express themselves and feel understood. “I don’t want them to have to worry what others think.” Instead of thinking of ADHD as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Victor says he is an “Awesome Dynamic Heroic Determined” 10-year-old. Charlice says it’s awesome to see him being what he wants to be. “He is sometimes misunderstood,” she says. “He zooms in and speaks his mind with no filter, but he gets stuff done.” All money earned from Whazapi has gone back into the business. Victor says he will keep it that way until there is enough money and then he will take some for himself.

Trail blazing at Silvan Forest
Jo Kent If you went down to the woods last week, you sure got a big surprise – the Krankin’ Kids mountainbike club having their end of season party. Organiser Emma Bawtree says the group always include trail maintenance in the term to encourage the kids to look after and respect the tracks they have come to love riding. “It’s a great way of giving back to Silvan and offering to help do our bit shows the children there’s more to riding your bike.” Chris Mildon, who looks after the Silvan trails, says he always looks forward to showing the young riders what goes into keeping the park in shape. “This time around, I helped
them identify banana passionfruit and old man’s beard weeds and told them what they could do to help. As usual, they were all very enthusiastic.” To reward all their hard work, the kids got to enjoy some treats from the new coffee cart which has recently opened at the mountainbike park. The Griffin family, who own Silvan Forest, opened the refreshment area for cyclists and walkers to use last month. Latasha Griffin says she wanted to create a communal space for people to sit and talk after walking or biking the trails. “There is nothing quite like this for mountainbikers locally, so establishing a spot for people to sit and have a coffee, cake or an ice block means
they can enjoy the view while catching up with either friends or like-minded people.” The cart has rustic outdoor seating made from sheepskincovered log stumps, complete with a shaded area. “Our space is for everyone to enjoy and we love hosting little events like the Krankin’ Kids party. All their help on the trails was really appreciated, too.” Silvan Forest is a privatelyowned 180-hectare forest, open for recreational use by owners Sarah and Rick Griffin. “My father-in-law is an amazing man and has developed the trails over the years for locals to enjoy. It’s so nice to see the next generation of riders making the most of the place.”

New Moutere salami made the old-fashioned way Our region has many wonderfully talented craftspeople and artisan food creators, many who have been doing it tough in the Covid-era. Waimea Weekly will feature some of these people in our new series, Meet the Makers.
Jenny nicholson A “big cast iron beast of a thing” is how Miles Drewery describes the press that inspired his lifetime love of salami-making. That press, built in England in 1918, was used by Miles’ parents in their salami-making business before being lugged around the country to finally arrive in Neudorf. It’s also the press Miles used when he and his wife Steph started Sausage Press Deli Co. The Sausage Press Deli Co. are makers of handcrafted artisan small goods and charcuteries including small batch salami, smoked fish and meats, fresh sausages, and bacon. The recipes are a collaboration between the couple. However, Miles is quick to point out that although Steph prefers the horticulture side of things, she is, in fact, a higher trained chef than he is. They met in Christchurch on Miles’ 25th birthday and worked in restaurants in Christchurch and England before shifting to Richmond and opening two ‘Miles of Food’ cafes. Lockdown in 2020 was the push they needed to change what life looked like for the family.
Steph and Miles Drewery of Sausage Press Deli at their base in Neudorf Rd. Photo: Aimee Jules. “Cooking wasn’t conducive to family life,” Miles says. “We were already making our own smoked chicken and sausages for the cafes, but we made the decision to move to working fulltime making our products.” Miles talks of the romance of making salami, saying if you don’t love what you do it will show in
the product you produce. “The boys and I love salami and we were eating a lot, but that meant we were eating a lot of chemicals.”
They still eat a lot of salami and love it, but without the chemicals. All products they make are free from nitrates and preservatives and have no numbers listed in the ingredient list. It’s a point of difference they are proud of. Everything is also gluten-free. “The product still lasts,” he says. “It’s smoked and dried to a point

where enough water is taken out, so you don’t have to keep it in the fridge. It’s perfect for tramping.” Although the 250 to 300kg of pork they go through a week would be cheaper if imported, they choose to source everything in New Zealand. They also only use free-range animals. “They are moral decisions. Not only are pigs in New Zealand treated well, we avoid transportation across the ocean.” While council regulations saw the old press relegated to decoration status, Miles and Steph still make their products the old-fashioned way. “We use tried and true methods and create our everyday salamis and sausage,” Miles says. “Every now and then, when there is time, we do a special.” The Moutere Artisans are hosting an Autumn Open Day on Sunday, 24 April. They invite the community to visit them to enjoy food, wine, arts, and crafts. Miles says people can make it a day out, collecting wine and cheese from other venues before adding a sausage and enjoying a picnic in their paddock. Details of venues are on their website https://www. moutereartisans.co.nz/news/

Opinion Playing outdoors Janelle Johnson Garniner Nurture@Home team leader
We know that being outdoors can make you healthier and happier and as the global Covid-19 pandemic continues, evidence emerged early that it was safer to be outside as the coronavirus transmits less effectively outside. Ample research has also shown that nature exposure has numerous longterm benefits and outdoor play fosters children’s intellectual, emotional, social, and physical development. By being outside and surrounded by nature, children experience an ever-changing and free-flowing environment that stimulates all the senses, developing all aspects of a child in synchrony. Most of us spent ample time in nature as children, climbing trees, exploring rocks and bugs, or even just playing games outdoors with friends. Little did we know that these fun activities were actually building our brains, bodies, and characters for later life. There is growing evidence that children are increasingly disconnected from the natural world and without these direct
experiences in nature, research findings suggest that children are missing opportunities to enhance their health and wellbeing. In an increasingly urbanised world – with television, computers, and extracurricular activities competing for time – fewer children have the opportunity to enjoy playing in nature. Many studies show the positive links between direct experiences in nature and children’s mental, emotional and physical health and well-being, providing strong foundations for life-long learning. The studies show that regular direct access to nature can: • increase self-esteem and resilience against stress and adversity. • improve concentration, learning, creativity, cognitive development, cooperation, flexibility, and self-awareness. • prevent childhood obesity. Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health. We can confidently reassure parents and whanau that by spending time playing outdoors their child/ren will develop much stronger foundational skills for now and in the future.

roadside memorial stolen again I have nothing against roadside memorials but I think that once there is a somewhere official for the family to grieve then these should be removed. 10 years ago I was involved (and cleared of any wrongdoing) in an accident where someone passed away and every day I had to drive past a roadside memorial that was put up and every day I had to relive that moment. I understand that the cross was put up to remind people that it’s a dangerous intersection but maybe there’s a more official, permanent form of signage that can be put up to tell people? Anonymous I have had at least 20 crosses taken off a fence post on Hope straight over the last 19 yrs. Some only lasted a week. Police have been notified on occasion. It’s a nightmare and extremely heartbreaking. These crosses are very significant and emotional for families. Some of the crosses had
special bolts to attach them to the post, but still disappeared. These crosses are on main highways, so someone must see something. Karen Whiti That sucks! So disrespectful to Kevin’s memory and devastating for his family. Leave the cross alone so all can have their peace. Xx Nikki Ryan Absolutely thoughtless thing to do. Christine Brown It was there the Saturday before I seen ur post as I admired the sunflower and his name and thought of him as I pulled out in my truck (my son is the same year as ur niece) I also noticed the bunch of bright yellow there this week, The person or people that keep removing this are so heartless.

Vicar of Richmond (Holy Trinity & St Alban’s)
Like lots of families out there my family have just been through the long-awaited impact of contracting Covid-19. We weren’t the sickest we’ve ever been, but we were pretty crook. Bodies ached, heads hammered, throats felt like sandpaper, appetites disappeared. We were very uncomfortable! In a letter to the church in An-
cient Corinth, the Apostle Paul describes God as the ‘God of all comfort, who comforts us in our troubles.’ In the many discomforts of life; financial pressures, illnesses, relationship difficulties, struggling kids or grandkids having trust in Jesus makes a difference. There are discomforts that scare the life out of us, but when we can seek a comfort
from beyond ourselves, beyond this world and what we see, we are humbled and reassured as we acknowledge that we don’t have it all under control, but a loving God does. A God who is strong where we are weak and offers true and lasting comfort to those who ask. That comfort is worth writing about, that is comfort worth seeking.

Proudly brought to you by...
The Wairoa suspension bridge Robyn PaRkes The difficulty in crossing rivers had been a feature of the early days of Waimea. So, the subject of bridges was raised quite early into settlement. In 1844, some settlers began to talk about the need for a bridge across the Wairoa River and the suggestion of a suspension bridge was expressed. By this time, one person had drowned, and several others had near misses. By 1860, it was asked that the provincial engineer look into the erection of a suitable permanent bridge to cross the river and what the cost of building it would be. A committee was formed to investigate this issue and, in 1861, reports were presented to the council. One
option was for a wooden bridge which was preferable as the expense of building a suspension bridge was seen to be too great. After considering both options it was decided that a suspension bridge was merited and that £3,000 for the build was to come from public revenue. Discussions ensued as to whether the bridge should be built solely of wood, as this was cheaper than an iron bridge, or whether it was better to use iron despite its higher cost. As the lowest tender of £3,850 was more than the sum voted towards its construction, plans for an iron bridge were submitted to the Government for consideration as to the materials to be used. In June of 1863, after many years of requests, the new
suspension bridge was built over the Wairoa River and was opened on the Prince of Wales’ wedding holiday. The designer was Mr Blackett, provincial engineer, and the contractors were Messrs. Morley and Freeman who built and finished the bridge within six months of the contract time. The bridge was impressive for its time with the length of the approaches at 200 feet, the side spans being 25 feet, the centre span (an arch suspending a level roadway) 150 feet and the total length 568 feet. It was built of massive timber construction, mainly out of black birch. The main piers which carried the arch were built on foundation piles 12 inches square, well shod with strong iron shoes, and driven by a pile-
driving machine to a great depth through boulders of all sizes. The construction of the bridge used up over 200,000 feet of timber, and 11 tons of ironwork. The centre span was built on the concave suspension principle and was calculated to carry a weight of over 200 tonnes on any part of it. The calibre of the build was tested only a few months after construction with the biggest flood which the settlers had seen causing some worry. The river was about a mile wide extending from Burke’s Hill to the Waimea East Hotel, and from there to Mr Saunders’ flour mill. The bridge was described as having, “withstood the ordeal bravely, and the superstructure is not in the least affected”.

Permanent new speed limit for the town centre of High Street, Motueka Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency advises a new permanent speed limit has now been set for the town Centre of Motueka on High Street, State Highway 60 in Tasman region. From Friday 8 April 2022, the permanent new speed limit is: 30km/h from 35m south of the Whakarewa Street intersection to 85m south of the Poole Street intersection. As part of the new speed limit within the town centre, people will also see new paint on the road. This will include red painted strips to define the town centre where 30km/h is in place.
There will also be sharrow markings, which is a bike symbol with a double arrow symbol above it. These remind everyone that people riding bikes can take the middle of the lane. These bike outline markings will be within the new 30km/h section of High Street, an area which is narrower due to a high number of on-street parks. The setting of the permanent speed limit follows public consultation. We thank everyone who provided feedback.

Men step-up to mentor young boys Max Frethey
Nelson-Tasman Big Brothers Big Sisters has had a great start to their ‘22 Men for 2022’ campaign with 20 men signing on to become mentors. The organisation has been lacking male mentors to pair with younger boys who are in need a positive male role model in their lives. Two matches have been made since the campaign launched and they have 18 men who are ready to be trained and matched with children. “Every child on that waiting list is really keen,” Nelson-Tasman Big Brothers Big Sisters programme director Chelsea Routhan says. “There were young people on that waiting list who had been waiting for two years.” Waimea Weekly has run a series of articles proFelix Borenstein with a fish caught near his award-winning Owen River Lodge.

rom its grand position to the views and immense attention to detail in the build, the sense of pride from the team is apparent. A mammoth task from the outset, Scott Construction project manager, Robert Glenny, says the project was a huge undertaking and the design and build team did an outstanding job throughout the entire process. “The building stands in such a proud position, overlooking the fields,” says Robert. “No matter how built up the area becomes, that will never change. You have views from all angles – whether in the north-facing apartment and overlooking the beach, sea and Rocks Rd, or southfacing and looking all the way out to Richmond and Mt Owen.” Aaron Walton Architecture+Design and Arthouse Architects says the design team were given a brief from Tony to produce a Gold Coast-style resort that would suit this unique site overlooking Tahunanui beach. The concept for the building was to try and reduce its scale by using a selection of materials to break it into smaller buildings. “Each apartment has generous spaces, living areas open out to the beach, bedrooms get views back to the hills behind Stoke. With the addition of two swimming pools, a spa, gym and BBQ area available to all owners, we believe this appeals to a wide range of people wanting to live in this beautiful part of Tahunanui.” With the concept completed, collaboration with Scott Construction and Tony Vining and Jacques Reynolds from Vining Investments began in 2017. The project was initially listed as part of a special housing area (SHA) by Whakatū Incorporation in 2016. Now, Tony’s vision for a gorgeous Gold Coast-type resort is coming to fruition with the completion of Oceanview Apartments and the upcoming next phase of construction, with plans progressing for
a block of land situated next door. Tony Vining, director of Vining Investments, hints the next phase of the massive Tāhunanui transformation has now begun, saying concept plans and talks are underway for the 2000 sqm section near Muritai St for, potentially, a four-

functional growing need and provide a safe and peaceful environment for its residents. “The landscaping is amazing. It would have been easy for Tony to have capitalised on the remaining land and built more dwellings, go for maximum floor area, but he was quite mindful of creating a quality place for residents to live. It is easy to get that wrong and go too far. Tony created a perfect balance of apartment living and the wide-open spaces that Nelson is known for.” Seeing the build through two local lockdowns did not deter the team from pushing forward and using the time to their advantage, tweaking plans and designs so they could hit the ground running when operating levels were once again opened up. Robert says a build of this magnitude was a massive undertaking for the whole construction industry in Nelson and Scott's worked hard to make the design as efficient as possible. Special mention goes to quantity surveyor, Luke
OCEANVIEW APARTMENTS Benton, and site manager, Peter Bennett, who were involved in the Oceanview Apartments project from beginning to end and were key to its success. Amongst other things, they played a key role in the extensive value engineering exercise that got this project across the line in terms of budget. Teamwork between sub-contractors was a huge component, with both local and out-of-town contractors collaborating when programme requirements exceeded local capacity. “We had to work extremely hard to design and prefabricate as much as possible, some building elements were under construction and stored off-site six months before they were required, just to meet the installation timeframes. It is such a big development and right at the limit of what the city could offer. We did a lot of work with Tony and his team over these last years to get it all over the line. A lot of pride goes into these builds.” Proud of everyone involved, from workers on-site, project managers, sub-contractors and suppliers, Sally Klein, project coordinator for Scott Construction, says everyone came together to make the construction happen. “It was a huge team effort right from the beginning through to completion. It is really exciting to see what happens next.” Tony cannot speak highly enough of the Scott Construction team, saying it was more than just an apartment block, they helped see his vision through, of creating a lifestyle for everyone who resided within it. “We have to credit these guys with so much. The plan really evolved over the whole six years. It was refined and tweaked from the initial plans. From the aluminium cladding to the use of timber in the gym and the stairwells. It is those touches that really make it beautiful.” With the massive complex now completed, Robert says the team have learnt a lot of valuable information that will transfer over to future builds, and he is enthusiastic about
the effect structures of this size will have on the region. “The resources being put back into the community during the build of Oceanview Apartments were huge. Using local tradies and suppliers is a big plus, but even the out-of-town contractors were staying at local accommodation providers, buying provisions locally, and using local facilities. It all gets pumped back into the economy.” Next on the cards for Scott Construction and Vining Investments is an apartment complex at 71 Haven Rd. The 31 apartment, 6-storey building on the edge of the port hills overlooking Trafalgar Park will be the tallest cross-laminated (CLT) building in the South Island with apartments being released to the market shortly. CLT is a highly environmentally-conscious building product gaining favour worldwide, says Robert. “Instead of spending a lot of carbon creating cement for concrete, the construction will have solid timber walls all the way through.” The cross-laminated, wood panel system is a lightweight and eco-friendly product that is quickly becoming popular in buildings across the country. “It is fast to put up, durable, and looks fantastic.” Sally says there is a lot more opportunity to build high-density living in Nelson’s CBD. “It makes sense for us to use land that has already been developed and the infrastructure that is already in place, rather than impacting on valuable greenfield space.” The Vining Investments and Scott Construction team seem to be a force to be reckoned with. Tony credits this to the large faction of professionals who have seen the Oceanview Apartments through to completion. “We are all happy to get stuck into the next project. There has been a heck of a lot of trust built up between us and we now run like a well-oiled machine.”

Arts in Nelson: ‘confidence is shot’ Kate Russell Recent changes to Covid-19 restrictions won’t make much of a difference to a struggling Nelson arts sector, according to local theatre and festival leaders. As of yesterday, vaccine passes and most vaccine mandates were dropped, and the number of people allowed to gather inside has increased from 100 to 200 under the changes to the red light traffic setting. However, Nelson Musical Theatre president Robbie Burns says confidence in the sector is “shot”. “People won’t buy tickets until the last minute as they are worried events will be cancelled, and with large scale events still being cancelled the latest changes will have very little to no effect. “Those who depend on the arts for a living are walking away from it and those who remain are taking a serious long look at a project before they commit to it.” He says “having the goalposts shift again and again” is taking its toll. “For the arts sector to survive Covid, Nelsonians need to get out and buy tickets, see local shows and bands. Netflix will still be there for the next lockdown.” He said 2021 was tough with a slew of performances, including Mary Poppins, being can-
celled. “Last year was extremely hard. I have never seen so many hours of work go into productions and to have none of them open. “The cancellation of Mary Poppins has hit Nelson Musical Theatre extremely hard. The flow-on effect has been astronomical and led to a lot of changes in an attempt to just survive Covid.” However, after a sell-out season of ‘Victors Victims Villains’ and plans for three more shows this year they are hoping to get back on their feet. Theatre Royal Nelson manager Eliane Polack says the changes won’t make a difference for them. “As far as current mandates are concerned, raising the maximum capacity while keeping the distancing restriction results in a total possible capacity of 110 - 120 for us. For most hirers, this maximum is not financially viable.” She says the fallout will continue to be felt for a “long time”. “We have very few, if any, firm bookings for the coming months. It’s not worth it for organisers with the lead-in time and uncertainty.” Nelson Arts Festival executive and artistic director Lydia Zanetti says that while it has been a rough time for the arts in Whakatū, she is looking to the 2022 festival with “practical positivity”.
“For us, changes to the rules obviously have an effect but are not the only element to consider. Are we still living in a pandemic? Yes. Are there still very real risks to people’s health within our community? Yes. The question then becomes not just what the rules are, but what we feel is a balanced approach.” She says the community can show support by attending events and exhibitions or finding other ways to celebrate artists in the area. “Whether that’s sharing content on social media, donating money, buying artworks, booking tickets, or telling your mates about something you’ve seen.” Lloyd Hardwood from Arts Council Nelson says the changes won’t affect them hugely. “Probably the biggest thing is that people’s confidence will increase a bit more, and without vaccine passes a section of the community will come back in again. But, it will be good for the Nelson Fringe Festival in June.” Deputy mayor Judene Edgar says the recent changes are a “step in the right direction” but we need more of an idea of when the next stages are coming. “We’ve still got smaller venues that are going to be struggling and we know it’s incredibly hard for them.”

Volunteers providing the community St John is a charity organisation steeped in history. From the establishment of the first St John ambulance service in the late 1800’s to today, the value of enhancing the health and well-being of all in New Zealand still rings true. St John Nelson and Tasman Bay Area Committee is the vital link between local communities and St John. The committee is led by local members who volunteer their skills and expertise, with a focus on community needs, volunteer support and custodianship of St John buildings in the community. Tracy Simonsen, committee chairperson, says “The Nelson, Motueka and Golden Bay area committees have recently amalgamated to ensure that the combined strengths and resources of the committees are brought together for the best outcomes of our community.”
Currently, St John provides emergency ambulance services in the Nelson Tasman district, and operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. “While our emergency ambulance services will always be at the heart of what we do, we believe we can now play a bigger part in helping to build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.” St John believe it is important to develop strong communities to help people live independently, get the social connections they need and improve their well-being. “Central to everything we achieve is the energy and generosity of our volunteers and supporters.” The committee supports the community in a myriad of ways, including a health shuttle service, a telephone friendship service, hospital emergency department support, and youth programmes.
St John Community Store manager Stacie Doyle, St John Community Engagement Co-ordinator Sarah Carpinter, and Friends of the Emergency Department team leader and volunteer Jeanette Douglas, with a range of the first aid kits available from the St John store. The community store on Rutherford St is the hub for St John in the region where people can purchase first aid kits, make donations to the organisation, and find out more information on volunteering for St John. New volunteers are always appreciated in these areas and Tracy encourages any-
one wanting to get involved to contact the Nelson area office for more information. St John Health Shuttle is a service provided by trained volunteers, offering door-to-door transport for people to and from essential medical and health-related appointments. “There is no set fee for shuttle transport, however a koha is appreciated to cover costs.” The service operates on weekdays travelling as far as Wakefield through to Wakapuaka. The St John Caring Caller programme is a free telephone friendship service that offers people who are housebound, live alone or feel lonely, the opportunity to stay in regular contact with someone who cares. “St John Caring Caller is not a helpline. It is a friendly phone call with a trained St John volunteer that both the client and caring caller enjoy.” Tracy is excited to announce an Outreach Therapy Pets programme starting

in the region this year. This programme allows volunteers to enhance the lives of others by sharing their animal companions with those who reside in rest homes, private and public hospitals, rehabilitation units and healthcare facilities. “We are currently recruiting volunteers and their friendly pets for this service.” For those who find themselves in the Nelson Hospital Emergency Department, St John provide a Friends of the Emergency Department (FED) programme. “For patients and their whanau and friends, seeing the friendly face of a FED volunteer can provide the comfort, support and often a much-needed cup of tea.” St John provides purpose-designed youth programmes for 6 - 18-year-olds, to encourage empowerment, knowledge and focus in their everyday lives. The programme focuses on teaching first aid, health care, leadership and life

with vital connections skills. The St John Youth divisions in Stoke and Richmond meet once a week and welcome new members. The popular ‘ASB St John in Schools’ programme educates and provides learning experiences for pre-school, primary and intermediate school-aged children, giving them the confidence and knowledge to act in an emergency situation. The recently introduced Whātuia te Waiora or ‘Weaving Wellbeing’ programme is a positive mental health programme, providing year seven and eight students the skills to weave positivity into their daily lives. Funding for these programmes is boosted by the Nelson St John retail store, which is located at 46 Rutherford Street, Nelson. Tracy says the store raises much-needed funds for our local services. “Our store manager, Stacie Doyle, and her team of dedicated volunteers always welcome donations of good-quality items”. Other St John services include medical alarms. These are monitored 24 hours a day and connect directly to St John, helping people to live independently for longer and give them and their families peace of mind. St John Event Health Services provides
medical coverage at a wide range of community and sporting events. The organisation also runs First Aid training courses ranging from basic first aid training and industry-specific modules through to advanced resuscitation for hospital employees. St John also provides Automated External Defibrillator (AED) devices and a range of quality first aid kits. The St John 2022 Heart of Gold Annual Appeal is on now, “However, once again due to Covid restrictions, our annual street collections have been cancelled to keep our volunteers and the public safe. We still need your support though, to continue to invest in our local programmes and deliver initiatives in our communities to improve health and well-being. Please help us to help our community!” Donations can be made via internet banking, online through the St John website, at your nearest ASB Branch, or by visiting the St John retail store in Nelson.

Nail-biting thriller kicks off rugby season Jack MalcolM and andrew Board
But then it was Waimea’s turn. The visitors fought back from its 12-0 deficit to dominate the final 25 minutes of the first half, taking a 14-12 lead into the halftime break. That was as good as it got for Waimea, though. Kahurangi dominated every aspect of the second half, scoring four tries to run away with the game 44-14, and in the process, win the John Goodman Challenge Trophy. Waimea coach Scott McKenzie says he was proud of his team’s effort after Covid saw eight players
A resurgent Kahurangi downed Waimea Old Boys in Riwaka 4414 to win its premier rugby season opener, while Marist have held off a defiant Stoke, 30-27 at Greenmeadows. The third game of the round, between Nelson and Wanderers, was postponed. Kahurangi came firing out of the blocks, scoring two early tries to number 8 Manu Parkin and prop Josh Te Hira.
made unavailable for selection. “No excuses though, Kahurangi were very good and had enough wise heads to help them through. I thought our young guys stood up though. We’ll aim to build on this and get better throughout the year.” Kahurangi had the better of the scrums and looked dangerous out wide, breaking through Waimea’s defence on several occasions in the first half before cutting loose in the second half. It was in Stoke where two of this season’s predicted front-runners

faced each other. After shaking off early nerves, Stoke put the first points on the board through the boot of Taine Robinson and started looking confident. The hosts had the lion’s share of early momentum, but Marist scored the first try with Wil Thornalley dotting the ball down underneath the posts following an easy draw and pass by Rahiri Witehira, who made the line break. Rahiri was strong throughout the game in the centres, with impactful ball running and hearty defence that was rewarded with a try to retake the lead in the second half. Stoke was strong in the forwards, with its maul doing serious damage and resulting in two tries. The first was to Matt GrahamWilliams, who scored three tries in his team’s attempts to snatch victory. Marist was ultimately too good,
as they were better able to materialise their pressure into points. While Stoke were able to stay with their opponents to the end, they never really looked like they had a firm grasp on the game and instead found success in Marist’s mistakes. Marist coach Shawn Begg says they “piggybacked” their opponents down the field at times with penalties. “Stoke put out a good performance, but we were our own worst enemies out times. We left 20 points out there.” Stoke coach Joe Kirker says they always expected a tight game against Marist, but they made mistakes at crucial moments. “It was certainly a tight one, we just couldn’t quite finish.” He says they won’t let the loss weigh on them as they focus on improving their own game looking forward to next weekend. “One way to look at it is it’s our first game and we’re building.”

Local knowledge proves crucial on tricky mountainbike course ries. “How good is racing at home,” she says in a post on Facebook. “I had a great day on the bike. . . so much fun racing some big techy stages. “Stoked to take the win and feeling my form improving ready for the season ahead.” In the men’s competition, times were tight with the riders battling hard all day. Queenstown pro rider Cole Lucas got out to a dominant early lead, winning all of the stages except for the fourth, Whaimana, which caused the most problems for riders throughout the day. This paved the way for Tākaka’s Brady Stone on this stage, who expertly used his local knowledge to win the stage by 14 seconds and with it the overall
Local women’s pro mountainbiker Raewyn Morrison lived up to her racing number, 001, by crushing the field by more than two and a half minutes ahead of her closest rival, Louise Kelly. She says she was feeling her form as she dominated the Nelson leg for the Mammoth Enduro presented by Santa Cruz. After rain earlier in the week, the trails had dried up nicely and were in near perfect condition for the racers, who descended across the country for the event. The result for Rae, who is one of the country’s best enduro racers, comes at the perfect time as she prepares to head overseas later this year to compete in the Enduro World Se-
fastest male of the competition by one second. Brady, who is also preparing for international racing, says he was really happy to come away with the win after some really close racing. The result also netted him and Rae $1000 each in prize money. The young riders also put on an impressive performance tackling the technical course, with the under-17 winner, Kiran Taylor, only two minutes off Brady’s time. After relaxing with a beverage and a burger post-race, riders and volunteers took their chances in the coin toss to win a Santa Cruz Reserve Wheelset valued at more than $3000, which was won by Finn McCloy from Dunedin.

It’s not all fishy times YOLANDE JEFFARES There are great seasons with long balmy days on the water and then there are the other seasons. Sometimes opportunities to get on the water are few and far between and one needs to find a way to appease the hankering to get out there somehow. As tempting as it might be to chance a marginal forecast, many of us prefer and promote a much safer way to indulge our love of fishing. Instead of seeing an opportunity lost, we instead see an opportunity to attend to those many tasks that often get overlooked. Firstly, there is the all-important safety equipment, which of course varies depending upon how and where you fish and should be routinely checked but sometimes get overlooked. Is the first aid kit fully stocked? When was the last time like
jackets/PFDs were checked? If your navigation lights are battery operated, have the batteries been checked and replaced as needed? When was the last time the EPIRB/PLB were tested? Then there is fishing gear to sort. Nothing worse than being busted off or a gear failure due to lack of maintenance. Are all rods and reels up to the task? Does any line need to be replaced? Does any tackle need to be restocked? A rainy windy afternoon or evening can be a great time to tie some traces or rigs so come the right weather you are ready to set your lines and go with the minimum of delay. Granted, it isn’t quite the same as being on the water, but when you finally get out there, it is always good to be prepared – and could make the difference to staying safe on a serious note and landing the big one – or not.

NEWSLINE UPDATES KEEPING YOU INFORMED ABOUT NEWS AND EVENTS IN THE TASMAN DISTRICT
Have your say on the Annual Plan
FDS public consultation continues
At this time every year we review the plans we made for the next 12 months in our 10-Year Plan.
There’s still time to make your submission on the Nelson Tasman 2022 – 2052 Future Development Strategy (FDS). Submissions close 14 April 2022.
Our population is growing. As a council, it’s our job to work with communities, iwi and stakeholders to plan for quality sustainable housing and infrastructure for all who want to live here. The Reimagining Richmond South project kicked off in October 2021. Last year, we introduced the process to create a structure plan for the area south of Richmond. This will be a guide for how Richmond South could develop, looking at things like housing type and density, areas for business, transport options, where’s best for community spaces, as well as the natural environment. In the first round of engagement, we received feedback from around 250 people through events, letters and online. We’ve taken what we’ve learned and combined it with known constraints to create four early potential ideas for Richmond South growth. We’ll be sharing these through live webinars, our website, and Council service centres during the second round of engagement. Over this month, we want to further understand views on how Richmond and/or Hope should grow so we can develop a vision for the area and refine options. This round of engagement includes a series of webinars, community and topic-focused sessions, and website and phone feedback gathering until 26 April.
Feedback and Q&A webinar: • Wednesday 6 April, 7.30pm
Online community visioning sessions: • Monday 11 April, 12.00 pm • Monday 11 April, 7.00 pm • Tuesday 12 April, 10.00 am
Topic-specific online workshops: • Workshop one: Productive land, housing, and employment. Wednesday 13 April, 12.00 pm • Workshop two: Creating communities with a heart – town centre, housing typologies, and vibrancy. Wednesday 13 April, 7.00 pm Learn more about this project and how to get involved: environmentplan.tasman.govt.nz/ reimagining-richmond-south.
Covid restrictions in Tasman Get the latest information about Council services and facilities under the Covid-19 Protection Framework (traffic light system) on our website, tasman.govt.nz.
We have reconsidered the plans for the services we provide our Tasman community, ranging from water supply and environmental management to things like reserves and community facilities. This reconsideration has led to some changing priorities, which are outlined in the Annual Plan consultation document. Projects and programmes planned for the next 12 months include reservoirs, stormwater upgrades, further development of playgrounds and reserves, tree planting and environmental enhancements, to name but a few. We have assets to maintain which provide important services which contribute to the health and wellbeing of everyone who lives in and visits our wonderful Tasman District. These things all come at a cost. We are also consulting on our fees and charges for the coming year. Visit our website or come into one of our service centres or libraries to pick up a copy of the Annual Plan consultation document and the Schedule of Fees and Charges. You have until Wednesday May 4 to give us feedback. You can share your thoughts verbally by either recording your view in a video directly on our website or by attending an online forum and making a written submission. More information is available at tasman. govt.nz/annual-plan.
Backyard battery burning dangerous Lately we have been emphasising the importance of keeping batteries out of rubbish and recycling bins and this photo shows why it is so important! Batteries can be extremely flammable when they are compressed, cracked or damaged. As they burn, they release toxic smoke, so you definitely do not want to dispose of batteries in your backyard! Batteries also must not go in your rubbish or recycling bin, because they can cause dangerous fires at our resource recovery centres and landfill. Instead, we’ve set up free battery collection points.
The FDS shows where housing and business growth is to be located, and in what form, and what infrastructure will be needed to support that growth over the next 30 years. It will influence all of our futures; the location and availability of new housing and the types of housing future generations will be able to live in, so it’s essential that we get your feedback. Our consultation document is available for you to read at your local library, customer service centre and on our website. For more information and to make a submission, go to tasman.govt.nz/fds.
Growth plan changes Don’t forget we are also working on a plan change which proposes to: • Rezone land and enable higher residential densities in Māpua, Brightwater and Wakefield; • Enable higher densities on residentially zoned land in Motueka West; and • Rezone land to provide more land for housing in Murchison. A plan change is normally the next step in the process following the adoption of the FDS. In this case the plan change is giving effect to the outcomes of the FDS 2019 while working concurrently with the development of the current FDS 2022. This enables Tasman to meet its growing demand for housing. Your feedback is invited until 14 April 2022. Visit our website for more information, tasman.govt.nz, search ‘growth plan changes’.
COUNCIL HUI Under Covid-19 restrictions, meetings will take place via Zoom video conferencing. Public forum presenters are required to present via Zoom. Visit tasman.govt.nz/meetings-calendar for details and the Zoom link.
You can take your household batteries (up to the size of a power tool battery pack) to our Richmond, Motueka or Tākaka Service Centres. You can take all household batteries, as well as vehicle batteries, to our Resource Recovery Centres, and to Weka Peckers Recycling.
Full Council Thursday 7 April, 9.30 am
Find out more about battery drop off locations at tasman.govt.nz, search ‘more recycling options’.
Strategy and Policy Committee Thursday 14 April, 9.30 am
Community Grants Subcommittee Monday 11 April, 9.30 am. No public forum. Golden Bay Community Board Tuesday 12 April, 9.30 am
Motueka Community Board Tuesday 19 April, 4.00 pm Submissions Hearing (Draft Wastewater Bylaw deliberations) Wednesday 20 April, 9.30 am 22227 HotHouse Creative
The environment we are working in has changed. That means we’re proposing some changes to what we had planned for the coming year starting 1 July 2022. We are seeking your views on these changes through our Annual Plan consultation.
