What does a smarter approach to growth look like? Our community knows all too well what poor coordination looks like. We have been at the mercy of its shortcomings for decades and the problems have compounded. Constant traffic, haphazard development and a growing deficit of critical infrastructure. So, what’s the solution? The government’s approach has been to simplify and centralise. 1- Combine the relevant ministries into MCERT 2- Regionalise local government 3- Reform the RMA to make development simpler, faster, and nationally standardised. Anecdotally, it makes the boat go faster. It shaves the weight, makes it more aerodynamic and gives it a bigger engine. But it raises a bigger question, where is the boat going? For decades, New Zealand has measured success by whether the process was followed, rather than whether it produced the outcomes we actually wanted. The contradiction is we keep hoping coordinated outcomes come from a system built around fragmented decision-making. Delayed infrastructure is a symptom, not a surprise. When the solution is simply to “make that system faster”, it’s no wonder it’s making locals nervous. If speed isn’t the whole answer, then what is? Well during his recent visit, the Prime Minister was asked about the pressures of growth. He pointed to Singapore as the gold standard, celebrating the fact “you can see exactly how things will develop over the next 30 years.” I agree! And their digital models are world class. But it’s also worth remembering that Singapore can coordinate development largely because the state owns the land. If New Zealand is to achieve similar results from a market led approach, then we need to gamify development. Picture this… Imagine opening a digital twin of the district, as intuitive as Google Earth. With a click, you can see the vision of what Queenstown Lakes could look like in 10, 20, 30 years. Fly to the area you’re interested in and the zoning, infrastructure capacity and planning rules appear instantly. Select the zone, a banner appears [Infrastructure Tickets available: 105 homes]. The closer you build to existing infrastructure, the cheaper the ticket, to reflect the real costs required to service it. Be warned though, land banking in priority development areas comes with a hefty rates bill, not the passive gold mine it used to be. Infrastructure projects are triggered as growth reaches defined capacity thresholds, allowing agencies to sequence investment based on need. No more political lottery, nor the “break it to make it” culture we’ve accepted. Growth isn’t the problem. The current system, tools and incentives are. When incentives reward the outcomes we want, the market starts building the future we’ve planned for. Cr Cody Tucker, Chair of Smart Growth Committee QLDC

ON THE APP THIS WEEK New advanced prostate biopsy service launched locally Queenstown Urology, led by Urologist Mr Amir Zarrabi, has expanded prostate cancer diagnostic services in Queenstown with the introduction of advanced transperineal MRI fusion prostate biopsy technology at Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer affecting men in New Zealand, and MRI fusion biopsy technology represents the current gold standard internationally in prostate cancer diagnosis. The technique combines high-resolution MRI imaging with real-time ultrasound guidance, allowing urologists to precisely target suspicious areas within the prostate. The transperineal approach also reduces infection risk and improves diagnostic accuracy. Until now, men in Central Otago requiring this specialised procedure needed to travel to either Dunedin, Christchurch or Invercargill for biopsy as part of their prostate cancer workup. The new
service now allows patients to access world-class diagnostic care much closer to home. Most medical insurance providers cover the costs of these biopsies. Urologist Mr Wikus Vermeulen, recently joined Amir at Queenstown Urology. Wikus has extensive experience in transperineal MRI fusion prostate biopsy. He has published internationally in the field and was recently interviewed by the American Urological Association to discuss his clinical experience and research relating to prostate biopsies and transperineal biopsy technology. Several of the new biopsy procedures have already been successfully completed at the Southern Cross Central Lakes Hospital in Queenstown, with further biopsies scheduled over the coming weeks. Amir said the investment reflects their ongoing commitment to delivering leading-edge prostateand prostate cancer care to men in Central Otago and the wider Southern region.
QLDC Mayor John Glover announces Mayoral taskforce to keep Queenstown moving: Act now, implement faster, think differently QLDC Mayor John Glover is setting up a Mayoral Taskforce in response to the significant impacts that the congested road network is having across the Whakatipu Basin. Mayor Glover explained “Queenstown’s transport woes have been in the media since the 1970s. But right now, we are seeing our future played out at peak times when the networks reach a tipping point and any exacerbator is causing it to fail. The modelling tells us that even if every currently identified intervention is delivered, Queenstown’s transport network still fails. Overall, the response comes too little, too late. Continuing to plan within the existing framework is therefore not enough. The biggest risk for Queenstown Lakes District is spending the next 30 years debating which road to build first while congestion, accessibility and productivity steadily worsen. We must act now, implement faster and think differently. How can we ever persuade people to take the bus when they are simply stuck in the same queue as everyone else?
involve other agencies/experts/community groups through the process. More details will be provided next week.
Our community expects us to show leadership rather than wait for someone to do something, and we are responding to that.” Notes to editor The taskforce group will work over a period of three to six months on practical actions that improve transport outcomes, accelerate delivery of initiatives that may be identified as part of Otago Central Lakes Regional Deal negotiations and develop innovative long-term solutions. The taskforce is expected to be established as a small group including elected representatives from local councils and government together with local businesses, mana whenua, active transport advocates, urban design, traffic engineering and finance expertise. Executive support for the taskforce will be provided by the Mayor’s office. The first step will be for the taskforce to gather to agree establishing principles, objectives, work programme, outputs and membership/ participation. It is expected that the taskforce will

ON THE APP THIS WEEK “Timely reminder as two rescued from Treble Cone back country in difficult conditions”
Twice in the past fortnight Wānaka Police coordinated a search and rescue operation involving people in the alpine environment. At around 1.45pm on Thursday, 30 July, Police were notified of two snowboarders in need of assistance near Treble Cone ski field. Two snowboarders ventured beyond the boundaries of the ski field to explore the back country before becoming lost for approximately six hours. At the time, weather conditions were extremely challenging, with heavy snowfall, strong winds, and near-zero visibility. The search was complex and required the expertise of the Wānaka Alpine Cliff Rescue Team, multiple ski patrol units, and an aerial search team. Aspiring Helicopters operated in very difficult flying conditions, and it was only through the pilot’s extensive local knowledge, experience, and exceptional flying skills that search teams could be safely deployed into the alpine environment. The snowboarders were located approximately one hour before nightfall. Had they not been found before darkness, the outcome could have been significantly more serious. Police are incredibly grateful for the professionalism, dedication, and expertise of everyone involved in the search. Wānaka is fortunate to have such highly skilled volunteer and professional rescue personnel who are prepared to respond in difficult and often hazardous conditions to assist those in need. This incident serves as another timely reminder that venturing beyond ski area boundaries into the back country should never be taken lightly. Anyone planning to enter the alpine environment must have the necessary experience, understand the current weather and avalanche conditions, carry appropriate emergency equipment, and have the skills to use it. Even a minor mistake can quickly develop into a life-threatening situation in alpine terrain.

CRIMELINE by Sue Fea
Public Notice | Pānui Creative Communities Scheme (CCS) August 2026 Funding Round Now Open
Aggression and assaults Police have been kept busy investigating some allegedly serious assaults and aggressive behaviour in recent weeks with one person arrested and CCTV photos released in a bid to help locate some of the other offenders. Constable Amanda Shute says an allegedly aggressive 45-year-old local man faces multiple charges after Police were called to a Frankton business at 10.30am last Wednesday, 29 July, where an allegedly intoxicated member of the public was refusing to leave and becoming aggressive towards staff. She says the man then allegedly grabbed a staff member’s arm and stood in close proximity to his face, continuing to verbally abuse him. The man was located shortly after by Police and allegedly refused to provide his details, became aggressive and threatened the officer. He was arrested and during the process allegedly resisted Police and continued to threaten attending officers, Shute says. He was charged with assault, disorderly behaviour, resisting Police, speaking threateningly and failing to refuse ID particulars to Police.
Serious assault Police are also appealing for the community’s assistance in identifying three men who may be able to assist in their enquiries after a serious assault on a man at around 2.35am outside World Bar in Church Street back on Sunday, 19 July. In a public call on Monday (3 August) they released CCTV photos, urging anyone with information to contact them on 105, quoting file number 260719/4053. CCTV photos were also released late last week calling for the public’s assistance as Police try to identify and speak with people they believe may have information to assist them in their investigations into an alleged assault outside the Camp Street Night ‘n Day shortly before midnight on Saturday, 11 July. Anyone with information on this is urged to contact Police referencing file number 260712/1402. To view CCTV photos see: www.facebook.com/SouthernDistrictPolice
Bad smash - Arrowtown Lake Hayes Road - State Highway intersection A woman was flown to Dunedin by rescue helicopter with moderate injuries after a two-vehicle crash at the busy Lake Hayes – Arrowtown Road intersection with State Highway 6 - Frankton to Cromwell, just after 5pm in peak traffic on Wednesday, 29 July. Police say a vehicle on Lake Hayes - Arrowtown Road allegedly pulled out of the intersection in front of a vehicle travelling towards Cromwell, causing substantial damage to both vehicles. The female driver of a small Suzuki car was flown to Dunedin Hospital by the Otago Southland Rescue helicopter while another person was assessed by St John Ambulance staff at the scene. A St John spokesperson says they responded to the 5.11pm callout with a helicopter, two ambulances, an operations manager and a rapid response vehicle. Both the Arrowtown and Frankton Volunteer Fire Brigades also attended on hand with cutting equipment. Arrowtown Volunteer Fire Brigade chief Murray Forward says they were potentially going to have to cut the woman free but were able to remove her via the back seat, using minimal equipment. “She was very lucky,” he says. The driver of the Toyota Hilux, which was travelling towards Cromwell, didn’t require hospital treatment.

ON THE APP THIS WEEK Ziptrek strengthens environmental commitment through Love Queenstown partnership Queenstown tourism operator Ziptrek Ecotours has become a Love Queenstown Impact Partner, strengthening its support for local climate, conservation and biodiversity projects. Ziptrek has been involved with the community fund since its launch in 2023, contributing to fundraising events, industry planting days and other environmental initiatives. The new partnership will provide sustained financial backing for grassroots projects across the Whakatipu. Founder Trent Yeo says the partnership is a natural fit for Ziptrek and reflects the company’s belief in businesses working together. “We love working with Love Queenstown, and this step makes our support more direct and ongoing,” he says. “No one can do it individually. Collectively is much better.” Love Queenstown Community Fund Coordinator Ash Bickley says Ziptrek has long demonstrated responsible tourism in practice. “Trent and the team have been an inspiration in this space, showing what’s possible when a business puts people and place at the heart of everything it does,” she says. Since opening above Queenstown in 2009, Ziptrek has planted more than 6,000 native trees and contributed well over $250,000 to community and environmental organisations. Its support has included Mana Tāhuna, Kiwi Birdlife Park and Sustainable Queenstown, alongside Locals’ Days, staff volunteering, environmental restoration, and education. Ziptrek was also Queenstown’s first tourism operator to achieve Net Zero Carbon Business Operations certification, which it has maintained for six consecutive years. Trent says Love Queenstown gives businesses and visitors a trusted, practical way to contribute to the place they live in or visit. “Queenstown is developing as a place where people can formally, functionally and loudly contribute,” he says. “And our community wants to see that.” After almost two decades in tourism, he says sustainability should become a normal part of doing business. “You have to be simultaneously patient and impatient about these things,” he says. “The whole idea of sustainable tourism should disappear and just become normal. I am hopeful. I’m also still impatient.” He says Love Queenstown enables businesses to support credible local organisations without having to identify, assess and administer individual projects themselves. “Love Queenstown is sitting there waiting to be fed,” he says. “It’s a very solid way to ethically give out money without every business having to work out who receives it and whether they’re the right organisation. Love Queenstown manages that.” Love Queenstown Impact Partners commit either 1% of net proceeds or $10,000 or more annually. Contributions are pooled, with 80% supporting immediate environmental action through annual Impact Grants and 20% invested in an endowment fund for future generations.

Experts warn against pushing on amid multiple rescues by Sue Fea
Local rescuers make their way to retrieve the climber who climbed back to the summit of Mount Aspiring in freezing darkness to raise the alarm after his climbing partner fell up to 300m recently. Photo credit: Heli Otago
Experienced local rescuers are warning young climbers against “getting sucked in by summit fever’ amid calls from Police for extreme caution in the backcountry after two more major alpine rescues near Wānaka in a week. Specialist search and rescue volunteers and Police say in both cases those needing rescued were extremely lucky and they’re calling for more informed decision making, the necessary experience and a solid understanding of current weather and avalanche conditions before venturing into the mountains. Some rescuers say people sometimes get sucked into summit fever and underestimate the time to get up the peak and back down safely. Wakatipu Alpine Cliff Rescue Team coordinator Russ Tilsley says in a number of rescues recently, despite having some experience, people haven’t been allowing sufficient daylight hours to get back before darkness and extremely cold overnight temperatures set in. “They’re not allowing the time to get up and down and arriving back early the following morning.” He says in the miraculous survival of a climber who fell up to 300m off a steep snowy ledge several weeks ago the two climbers – believed to be an Australian and Cantabrian, had made the wrong decision to push on knowing they’d run out of daylight on their descent. Wakatipu team members were part of a large, coordinated rescue for those two on Aspiring, and also for an experienced local couple who’d become bluffed on a near vertical ice face at night after taking a wrong route on their descent early last month.

A Wakatipu Cliff Rescue volunteer was up Mount Aspiring on a recreational climb just prior to the first rescue and had made the decision to turn back to the hut knowing it was too late in the day. The couple that ended up being rescued had carried on, Tilsley says. The team was also on standby to help Wānaka’s Alpine Cliff Rescue Team who flew in with skilled pilots, ski patrollers and Police after two snowboarders ventured beyond the Treble Cone boundaries in heavy snow, strong winds and near-zero visibility on Thursday, 30 July. Wānaka Sergeant Darren Cranfield says that was a complex search requiring extensive local expertise, the Aspiring Helicopters pilot flying in very difficult conditions. “It was only through the pilot’s extensive local knowledge, experience, and exceptional flying skills that search teams could be safely deployed into the alpine environment,” Cranfield says. The snowboarders, lost for six hours, were found only an hour before nightfall. “Had they not been found before darkness, the outcome could have been significantly more serious.” That was the second SAR operation coordinated by Wānaka Police in a week and Cranfield says it serves as “another timely reminder that venturing beyond ski area boundaries into the backcountry should never be taken lightly”. Tilsley says thankfully the two boarders were found: “Those kids were pretty lucky”. Like the two men in their 30s in the accident on Mount Aspiring, he says they’d “totally underestimated” what they were heading into. “Experience means being able to make the right decision and come to a conclusion that, yeah, I can make it to the top of the peak but the consequences of that will be that I will be coming down after dark,” he says. “By then people are cold, tired and hungry and that’s when they make mistakes. Do your due diligence,” Tilsley says. “One day the mountain may be attainable and one day it won’t depending on weather and snow conditions, which can vary greatly.”

Bollywood dance workshop
The joy of bringing creatives together by Jessica Allen
Eric Lim is the Art Facilitator at Te Atamira, bringing local artists, musicians, and creatives into the space to share their skills and connect with the community. No two days are the same and every session feels meaningful to him – an important space where creativity and connection come together. The programmes he looks after include the Saturday Arts Social, Free Community Nights and Make Space. They’re each much-loved by the community and help to make the arts more accessible to everyone. The Community Nights came about when Lim and the team wanted to create a regular, free space where people could drop in and try something new – no experience required, no pressure and most importantly, no bookings needed.
to shake off the winter blues and try something different. Lim loves the warmth curiosity of those who attend – they’re always willing to try new things. The response from the community has been really heartwarming, too, with regulars and new faces at each session. “Some people come for the social connection, others come to learn something new and some just come because they’re curious. I’ve had people tell me they look forward to these nights all week, it’s become a little highlight in their calendar. We’ve built a lovely little community around these events and it’s growing.” Arts and culture events in our community are important, especially in such a transient town as Queenstown. The community nights give people a reason to come together, try something new and feel part of something bigger. They’re free, welcoming and open to everyone no matter background or experience.
“We run them on Tuesday evenings and each month has a different flavour,” Lim says. “The first Tuesday is Community Sing, the second is Community Draw, and the third is Community Craft – which can be anything from dance and theatre or film to stitching and cultural workshops. It’s all about making art approachable and fun.” One of the recent Community Nights saw Remarkables Theatre hosting a Theatre Games and Stagecraft event. The fun and playful session started with some theatre warmups and icebreakers before moving into some improv games. Lim says the energy in the room was fantastic and attendees were letting their guards down, laughing and having a great time. Next up is the Bollywood Dance Workshop with Nishal Malinda on 18 August, which is going to be a lot of fun. “Nishal is a brilliant dancer who brings so much passion in dancing and warmth. People can expect a lively, beginner-friendly Bollywood dance session, no experience needed at all.” Malinda will go through some simple, joyful moves and to get everyone up and smiling – a great way
Community Nights - Pacific Dance
“You don’t need to be good at art or dancing or singing – you just need to be curious. Everyone’s welcome, there’s no judgment, and you’ll leave feeling lighter than when you arrived. It’s a beautiful way to meet new people, try something new and spend your evening in a warm, creative space. We’d love to see you there.” Finally, Lim wants to give a huge thanks to all the tutors and facilitators who share their time and talent, and everyone who comes along. “The community makes these nights what they are. I’d also like to acknowledge the support from Central Lakes Trust, which makes it possible for us to keep all of these events free. If you haven’t been to a Community Night yet, come along and have fun,” Lim says. Te Atamira’s community programmes – Saturday Arts Social, the Free Community Nights and Make Space run weekly with more info on Te Atamira’s website teatamira.nz

My Life story
by Sue Fea
NIEL FREAR Ice Dad
He may have arrived in the south having never seen ice but after 30 years here Niel Frear’s spent much of his time rink side at the helm while Queenstown’s produced some of New Zealand’s best Ice Blacks and the Southern Stampede’s soared to victory. It’s usually the parents who encourage the kids into a sport, but in Niel’s case it was eldest of three sons, Cameron, then five, who got him hooked on the ice hockey stick. Cameron is now the head coach of the very successful SkyCity Stampede side, has been for the past seven years, the team now through to the championship finals after a win at the weekend. Sons Mitchell and Lachlan also play for the winning side, and all three sons have been Ice Blacks. Niel’s even managed a NZ Under 18 team for the NZ Ice Hockey Federation to an International Ice Hockey Federation tournament.
For decades he’s managed, also coached, ice hockey teams from the champion Wakatipu High School side and Southern Knights regional age group sides to managing the NZ Under 18 Ice Blacks, travelling to Romania with them. While he plays down his coaching abilities, Niel led the local high school side to a historic victory at the South Island Secondary School Championships and managed the Southern Knights team to win the Under 19 national title in 2003 – their first big success. On the NZ committee for the International Federation, Niel was selected to take two young national players to an international coaching camp in Finland and train himself. Despite coaching a number of teams, you won’t catch this Camp Dad boasting up his ability. “I’d just coach if they needed someone, but we’d often have games down in Dunedin and when our local boys, including our sons, were down there studying I’d just call them in to help coach during our matches there,” he grins. He’s “lived and breathed ice hockey for about 30 years”, all voluntary service, both as president and committee member of the Queenstown Ice Hockey Club, manager for The SkyCity Stampede
Luana and Niel back in their dating days in the 1980s
Luana and Niel at the SkyCity Quiz Night fundraiser
travelling the country to every game for almost 10 years, also a Southern Ice Hockey League committee member.
“My holiday job in primary school was sitting in the boat gutting flounder. We lived off the land and the sea.” Ironically it was their plan to lure a rugby-mad Cameron away from travel all over Central Otago on frosty Saturday mornings that spurred Niel and wife of 38 years Luana into the ice hockey arena. “Lu has given so much time to the sport with me. We do everything as a team,” he says. “We bought a seven-seater and the spare seats were always full taking other kids to games.” It all started when local ice hockey player Rob Lynes took that five-year-old Cameron, along with his son, to play ice hockey in Naseby. “He was hooked and harped and harped to play ice hockey, so we took him to Jane’s Kiwi Hockey at the rink. He’d fallen in love with it,” Niel says. Dad did too. “The kids taught me to skate, and I played social ice hockey in my 30s.” Camp Dad for tournaments and games regionally, nationally and internationally, Niel says prior to the Graham family developing the fantastic indoor Queenstown Ice Arena, the club would hire scaffolding for seating at home Stampede games, erecting and taking it down for every season.
“My holiday job in primary school was sitting in the boat gutting flounder. We lived off the land and the sea.” The transition from his tiny whanau primary school to Whangaroa High was a big one, Niel leaving early to go fishing before following his older brother south on a worker scheme to Ocean Beach Freezing Works at 18 where he met Luana. “I lasted a day at the freezing works.” He worked on farms then scored a linesman’s apprenticeship with Southland Electric Power Supply in the late 70s. Niel later worked for other power companies, a planned OE canned after meeting Luana, instead marrying in 1988. With a young family well underway they moved to Queenstown in 1996 where Niel joined Central Electric as a cable joiner, working his way up through what became Delta into more supervision and subdivision design. He’s now Aurora’s key account manager having had some great mentors. Queenstown development was booming and he learned fast. “We’d fax our grocery order to Woolworths in Invercargill and collect it in banana boxes from the Northern Southland yard.” Retiring as Stampede manager in 2023, Niel says he hasn’t. He just can’t keep away. “I still go to practice every Thursday and get a burger afterwards with the boys. We’re at most of the home SkyCity Stampede games,” he says. “I’m really grateful for this ice hockey community that’s helped us raise our boys and great employers who’ve given me the space to be part of it.”
It’s all been as far as you can get from his rural Northland seaside upbringing on Whangaroa Harbour, south of Mangonui, where his mum and dad fished commercially, Niel and his four siblings growing up on their grandfather’s 60-acre (24.2ha) farmlet. His Māori mum knew her fish – the table always plentiful with scallops, crayfish, flounder and snapper she and Dad either hooked on a long line or netted at sea.

LAKES WEEKLY BULLETIN
QLDC Libraries Librarian Profile Kia Ora!
@qldclibraries
Lakes Weekly Bulletin and Queenstown Lakes Libraries are profiling our librarians. This month we are profiling Pauli Antoine, who works at the Adult Services Librarian at Frankton Library.
Queenstown Lakes District Libraries
Kia ora! I’m Pauli, and it’s been three years since my last librarian profile… a lot has changed since then, so I thought I’d pop back and share what librarianship looks like for me these days.
Hirst, and many others. Best of all, these performances are free, family-friendly, and open to everyone!
I’m the Adult Services Librarian at Frankton Library – but that title doesn’t tell you much, does it?
One thing I said in my profile three years ago, and still believe today, is that I want to be a bridge to those who think libraries aren’t for them. Because the truth is, we have something for everyone! Want to learn coding? Borrow our coding robots. Supporting a loved one living with Dementia Mate Wareware? Explore our Memory Care Collection. Looking for your next great read? Come and chat with us or check our lovingly curated displays.
I’m the person behind the programmes and events for adults at Frankton Library. My goal is to create opportunities for our community to learn, connect, and have fun, whether that’s through digital literacy classes, wellbeing workshops, Te Reo Māori sessions, arts and crafts, sewing workshops (coming soon!), and much more. Part of that “much more” includes one of my greatest passions: bringing art, in all its forms, into the library. It might seem like an unusual place for music, but it has become one of the most rewarding parts of my role. Over the past few years, I’ve invited talented local artists to share their music, culture, and stories with our community. We’ve been privileged to host Indian musician Eby Sebastian, Māori waiata rōpū Ngā Manu Hou, Kiwi musician and vocal coach Emma G, Scottish violinist Erica Hastie, local singer songwriter Violet
And if you’re wondering where to find me, the answer is usually: everywhere! Walking Frankton Beach with Walkie Talkies, participating in a workshop at Te Atamira (or sometimes, running them), or singing an Adele song at Blue Door’s Open Mic. At the heart of it all, my job is helping people discover something new – and more importantly, reminding them that the library belongs to them too.
My favourite recent reads are… The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller
I who have never known men by Jacquiline Harpman
A book that made me cry
A book that made me reflect
Fate is never far from the heels of Achilles. When word comes that Helen of Sparta has been kidnapped, the men of Greece are called upon to lay siege to Troy in her name. Seduced by the promise of a glorious destiny, Achilles joins their cause. Torn between love and fear for his friend, Patroclus follows Achilles into war, little knowing that the years that follow will test everything they have learned, everything they hold dear. And that, before he is ready, he will be forced to surrender his friend to the hands of Fate.
For a very long time, the days went by, each just like the day before, then I began to think, and everything changed’ Deep underground, thirty-nine women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards, the women have no memory of how they got there, no notion of time, and only vague recollection of their lives before. As the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass, a young girl - the fortieth prisoner - sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground.
Costanza Rachel Blackmore
Wyrd Sisters by Terry Pratchett
A book that’s still current
And a book that made me laugh
Rome, 1636. History calls her a Muse. Temptress. Fallen woman. This is her story. In the scorched city of Rome, the cobbled streets hum with gossip and sin. Costanza Piccolomini is a respectable young wife - until she meets Gianlorenzo Bernini, the famed sculptor and star of Roman society, whose jet-black gaze matches his dark temper. From the second they set eyes upon each other, a fatal attraction is born. Their secret love burns with a passion that consumes them. But with every stolen kiss and illicit tryst, Costanza’s reputation is at stake. Meanwhile, Bernini has a dangerous desire: he wants to make Costanza immortal. Bernini would rather destroy Costanza than let her go. Betrayed. Abandoned. Banished. This was meant to be the end of Costanza’s story. But Costanza is no ordinary woman: from the ashes, she will rise...
Three witches - Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg and Magrat Garlick - have gathered on a lonely heath. A king has been cruelly murdered, his throne usurped by his ambitious cousin. An infant heir and the crown of the kingdom, both missing. . . Witches don’t have these kind of dynastic problems themselves – in fact, they don’t have leaders. Granny Weatherwax was the most highlyregarded of the leaders the witches don’t have. But even she found that meddling in royal politics was a lot more complicated than certain playwrights would have you believe.

Are you a bold, people-first leader ready to make your mark on two of Arrowtown's most-loved hospitality venues?
We are People Like Us Ltd — the passionate team behind La Rumbla, our vibrant Spanish-inspired restaurant (and official ‘Restaurant of Spain’ awardholder), and Slow Cuts, our beloved craft beer and live music venue with legendary slow-cooked food. Both sit in the heart of beautiful Arrowtown, right next door to each other. Operating since 2012, we’ve built something genuinely special in this community. We’re looking for experienced and passionate staff to help us continue serving our loyal locals and intrigued travellers. Someone who brings fresh ideas, real passion, and the drive to make great things even greater. We believe in ‘open book management’ where all staff are aware of business trading finances and provide cash incentives when weekly and monthly sales and KPI targets are met. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn the ‘business of hospitality’. THE ROLES: RESTAURANT MANAGER This is a hands-on, high-impact leadership role both in operations and on the floor. You’ll work closely with ownership across both venues, owning the dayto-day operations while building a culture your teams are proud to be part of. No two days look the same — and that’s exactly how we like it.
