ENQUIRIES@LWB.CO.NZ

Turning up the dial on the pressure cooker I tip my hat to the efforts of government departments Ministry of Social Development and Immigration New Zealand (INZ) for coming to Queenstown and speaking to employers as part of the Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Hub. They might not have good news to share, but along with local community and business advisors giving their time to offer advice, we have never had a better opportunity for informative direct contact. It was enlightening and frightening at the same time. I am becoming increasingly alarmed at the lack of foresight from the Government regarding our migrant workforce. I have been in business here since the late 1990’s and over this time have not only understood the important role migrants play in our workforce, but also their contribution to the vibrancy and quality of life in our region. Feeling the room last Thursday, it was obvious my fellow employers were deeply concerned for the future of their workforce. A quick straw poll of my peers found that we have 30-60% migrant employees making up our workforce. Most will be gone by September if they cannot get their visas renewed. That is despite wanting to keep them, pay them well and support their visa renewals. The humanitarian disaster is already unfolding for those migrants already made redundant. But even for a business that does not need to make positions redundant, this is a looming business continuity disaster. How are we supposed to rebuild from the disruption of lockdown restrictions, deal with a reduced market size and work our way back to a trading profit, or at least limit the losses, while losing key trained staff as they cannot renew their visas - AND introduce 50% or more new staff to our workforce who all need training and introduction to our business culture. Talk about turning up the dial on the pressure cooker. Every effort must be made to employ a New Zealander first. We all get that. Kiwis First. This is not new advice from INZ. However, INZ are now doubling down suggesting that the chances of visa renewals are unlikely and our migrant community head back to where they come from. The problem I foresee is that as the economy recovers, and more jobs become available, New Zealanders who have relocated here and taken the position previously held by a migrant, will move on, back to where they came from. For a tourism focused town, we will then have an issue attracting staff to replace those short-term Kiwi job fillers. The last thing we need now is to send the backbone of our town packing only to need them again in 6-12 months’ time. I did sense a glimmer of understanding from the INZ staff in attendance at the Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Hub. However, do not expect that glimmer of understanding for this Queenstown specific problem to turn into a positive solution anytime soon. Scott Stevens scott@qmg.co.nz

But the road to economic recovery is likely to be a bumpy one, especially in tourism towns like Queenstown. Clutha-Southland MP Hamish Walker criticised tourism minister Kelvin Davis for his lack of support for local businesses, in a week the Government confirmed millions of dollars in funding for Waitomo Caves and Kaikoura Whale Watch “The Tourism Minister needs to get his priorities straight and support an area hurting drastically by the effects of Covid-19,” Walker said. “He can start by investing some money in to the area which the country once heavily relied on for its tourism dollars.” Meanwhile, in Queenstown’s council has organised extra sessions at the Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Hub this Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for migrants struggling economically due to Covid-19. More than 400 migrants and employers have sought advice at the pop-up, one-stop post-Covid help hub since it opened earlier this month, with every session booked out. An expo about redeployment into the agricultural sector, held by The Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) at the Rydges Hotel on Wednesday, was also well attended. The session came a day after it was confirmed both Outdoor World in Remarkables Park and Max fashion store in The Mall downtown are to close. There was, however, some positive news throughout the week. Tradestaff boss Kevin Eder said he believes Queenstown’s future might not be as dire as predicted due to the number of construction projects in the pipeline, while the partnership behind Queenstown’s new surgical hospital at Ladies Mile confirmed it’s still on track to be completed by late 2021 and celebrated the progress made so far. And The Southern Lakes Sanctuary, a project aimed at making 660,000ha of Queenstown Lakes predator free, is one step closer to becoming a reality after two days of intense meetings aimed at raising $30 million.

New hospital still on track for 2021

Tourism chefs cook 1800 meals for charity

Queenstown’s new private hospital build is on target despite Covidrelated delays and should be completed by late 2021.

Wayfare chefs have cooked almost 1800 meals in the past month for local charity Baskets of Blessing.

The surgical hospital - a joint venture between Southern Cross Hospital Trust and Central Lakes Trust - is under construction on land adjoining Queenstown Country Club off the Frankton – Ladies Mile Highway.

With no tourists to cater for, Real Journeys Walter Peak and Canyon Brewing chefs have volunteered their time and skills to cook for the charity, which provides frozen meals and surprise gift baskets to locals in need in the Queenstown community.

When complete, patients will be able to have a range of procedures there, rather than travelling to elsewhere in the region. These will include endoscopy, general surgery, gynaecology, dental, orthopaedic, urology, plastic surgery, and ear, nose and throat surgery. It will cater for people with health insurance, ACC customers, but also for Southern District Health Board patients, complementing the existing Lakes District Hospital at Frankton.

They’ve worked out of the Canyon Brewing Restaurant kitchen in Arthurs Point. Walter Peak executive chef Mauro Battaglia says the Wayfare group’s restaurants have remained closed since lockdown and being on the government wage subsidy with uncertain futures meant many were keen get busy in the kitchen. “I sent out an email and just said if you’re free and want to help, let me know,” says Battaglia “Straight away I got such a good response - 13 chefs keen to work. Under the strict Alert Level 3 and 2 requirements we had to limit it to three separate teams of four chefs at a time, working two days each. We do a day’s prep then the next day we cook. Most of the food donated for meal making is provided by Kiwi Harvest, another charity that collects good unsold food from several local supermarkets and delivers it to Baskets of Blessing. Chefs work out their meal plans from the produce on offer, cook and then freeze individual portions.

Queenstown’s mayor Jim Boult visited the site last week, with Central Lakes Trust (CLT) chief executive Susan Finlay, Southern Cross Health Trust (SCHT) chief executive Terry Moore and Southern DHB (SDHB) boss Chris Fleming to mark the progress made by Queenstown Commercial Limited. Stage one, which consists of the ward bedrooms is well underway with foundations laid, while stage two and three have services in and trenching dug, with a hope to get the foundations poured before the cold weather sets in.

Baskets of Blessing coordinator Lee Nicolson says when Mauro Battaglia came to pick up the ingredients for the cook-up she was “able to show him the walk-in freezer filled to capacity with frozen meals - the same freezer unit that was purchased from $53,200 raised from the Real Journeys Cruise-for-a-Cause to Doubtful Sound in August last year. Battaglia also discovered that his Canyon Brewing colleague - sous chef Hanna Wagner was a long-time volunteer chef for Baskets of Blessing and had already cooked up over 1000 meals in her own home kitchen during lockdown before the team stepped in to help.

Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Hub being extended More than 400 migrants and employers have sought advice at the Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Hub since it opened earlier this month. The pop-up, one-stop post-Covid help hub was set up by Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) on June 4, and almost every session has been booked out since. QLDC confirms more sessions at Queenstown Events Centre are due to be added late this week. The sessions include specialist information and advice from different agencies and groups, including Immigration NZ, immigration lawyers and advisors, travel agents, Citizens Advice Bureau and Salvation Army. A new session hosted by Citizens Advice Bureau will also be added on Thursday, June 18, focused on general tenancy and employment advice. Registration is still required, please visit www.eventbrite.co.nz/o/ queenstown-lakes-district-council-27546063067. Kia Kaha Queenstown Lakes Community Hub QLDC lead Marie Day said it had been great to see so many people, particularly the local migrant communities, making full use of the in-person service and watching the videos made available online.

“Incredible - that’s what some chefs do. And obviously there will be a lot of people in need of these meals, which will grow and grow and grow. We have the knowledge and the staff able to do this right now,” Battaglia says. “Working two days a week keeps you busy mentally and keeps our hope going.”

“We have had great feedback from participants about the sessions. “Many were finding it tough to make sense of the information they were given, often by friends or family. The sessions have given them confidence and reassurance, and the best possible advice to help them make decisions about their future.. “It’s also been great to see a good uptake in the business employer sessions. Employers are doing all they can and looking for ways to support and advocate on behalf of their staff.” They sessions have been recorded and are available here.

$60k for waste reduction projects

Construction projects future not as dire as predicted

Projects to reduce the amount of plastic bottles and disposable coffee cups going to landfill are among six waste-minimisation initiatives handed a total of $60,000 from council.

The boss of New Zealand’s leading employment agency for tradies believes Queenstown’s future may not be as dire as some predict.

Queenstown Lakes District Council (QLDC) Waste Minimisation Community Fund has allocated its second round of grants. Sustainable Queenstown will be funded to bring RefillNZ to Queenstown. Hilary Lennox, from Sustainable Queenstown, says: “We’ll be promoting the local cafes and restaurants which allow people to come and refill their drink bottles with water, even if they are not paying customers. “This will mean fewer single-use plastic bottles going to landfill and in turn will lead to a healthier, more resilient Queenstown.” Earlier this month, Greenpeace launched its ‘ban the bottle’ campaign. It wants New Zealand to become a world leader and ban plastic drinks bottles, after last year banning single-use plastic bags. Chunky Limited’s Queenstown entrepreneur Mark Moran said he is “super excited” to receive funding to assist with the introduction of the reusable Chunky Loan Cup scheme into the Queenstown market. “As a result of the grant, we’re looking forward to seeing the reduction in use of disposable coffee cups.” Queenstown Chamber of Commerce will also get funding the undertake a waste audit process for businesses, helping representative selection of businesses improve their waste and recycling practises. And Queenstown Golf Club will receive a grant to begin composting organic waste. It will share its findings with other clubs. Wastebusters & One New Zealand’s funded project, Better Building Resource Circulation, is a resource recovery campaign aimed at trading or donating excess construction material instead of sending it to landfill. And The Hawea Grove, Hawea Grove Eco Building Webisode Series will also receive funding. The project aimed to raise awareness about the waste generated from a house build by documenting the process and sharing learnings, from decision-making right through to completion. The Waste Minimisation Community Fund was an initiative of Council’s Waste Minimisation and Management Plan 2018 (WMMP). QLDC General Manager Property and Infrastructure Peter Hansby said: “We are delighted to announce six successful fund recipients and congratulate them on creating waste-reducing projects that enable our community to move toward a zero waste future.” The fund was created in response to a call for Council to support more community-driven initiatives.

Tradestaff supplies temporary and permanent workers to the trades and industrial sectors, through 12 offices across the country, including Queenstown. Managing director Kevin Eder says the number of placements in South Island has dropped by 20% compared to North Island due to Covid-19. But he believes there will still be work locally. “There have been lots of building consents processed through lockdown and while three hotel builds are currently deferred (approx. $50M), others are still underway. Many tourists to Queenstown are Kiwis, so demand will be there. “Next month or so is likely to be quiet, but ski season (a significant number of skiers in Queenstown are New Zealanders) will boost things especially if the trans-Tasman bubble comes into play. “While there are still many migrant workers across all industries in the town, as they leave unemployment might go quite low as summer approaches.” About a dozen hotels were planned for the resort before the coronavirus crisis. Work continues on several, including Stanley Street’s 237-room Holiday Inn Express, and Safari Group’s LQ by Wyndham Kawarau River hotel, in Remarkables Park. Other developers have indicated they continue with their plans to build in Queenstown. Queenstown’s council also has four infrastructure projects shortlisted for tens of millions of dollars of Government cash through the Crown Infrastructure Partners stimulus package. And the billion-dollar plans for Lakeview now have Overseas Investment Office approval. Stage one of the 10-year office, retail, hotel and residential development was due for completion in 2025. But property management company Augusta Capital, partners with Melbourne-based property developer and constructor Ninety Four Feet, and Queenstown’s council, says it’s all expenditure is being “closely monitored . . . given the current position of the Queenstown market and economy”. Its Brecon Street hotel development has been postponed. Both Lakeview and the council’s infrastructure projects are likely to take a few years in the planning pipeline, something recognised by economists at Infometrics, commissioned by QLDC to report of Queenstown’s economic prospects.

“The goal of these grants is to support new initiatives that minimise waste, maximise resource recovery and move us towards becoming a more sustainable district. We are excited to be able to build on last year’s momentum and see the new and inspiring ideas generated within our community through this funding round.”

“...we are cautious about the potential for an immediate lift in activity caused by government stimulus through Crown Infrastructure Partners and other mechanisms. “Although there is likely to be faster growth in infrastructure activity over the medium term, we anticipate that planning, design, and consenting requirements will prevent more rapid growth in work until 2022.” They predict the drop in tourism will slash demand for construction, as the district’s economy as a whole contracts by 23.3% ($633 million) over the year to March 2021. “Construction is a major employer in the district (15% of workers) and is hugely reliant on the tourism sector for work – for example, 30% of non-residential construction activity in Queenstown-Lakes in 2019 related to accommodation, compared to 12% nationally,” the report to QLDC states. “Furthermore, job losses in tourism will cut demand for new housing and flood the housing market with former AirBNB units, slashing residential construction. While the construction sector is likely to continue working through previously consented work for the remainder of 2020, workloads are projected to nearly halve in 2021 and decline further in 2022.”

Miranda Spary is a tired, old, has been columnist that we feel sorry for. She used to write a weekly book column in the old Queenstown Times which was read more for the local gossip in it than the book part. She is quite lazy and very grateful if readers send in ideas about what’s been happening locally on miranda@queenstown.co.nz

Has anyone else had to retrain themselves to hug and kiss people again? Since we got to Level 1, I’ve made a few beginner’s mistakes kissing people on the lips and also having to pause to ask myself if this is someone I would normally hug or kiss- I don’t want to get it wrong and hurt someone’s feelings but I also don’t want to startle virtual strangers by launching into a full-on hugathon. Very awkward. There were lots of hugging and kissing opportunities at the Lakes District Museum’s art exhibition opening - probably the first big gallery opening anywhere in the world since lockdown - it was a huge crowd and difficult even to see the artworks as everyone was so thrilled to be in a big gathering of so many people we knew. If you haven’t been to see it yet, DO! It’s a fundraiser for the museum’s strengthening and beautification (we all need a bit of that as we get older) and it’s exciting to discover so many locals we know as Plunket nurses, top executives and farmers as artists as well. It’s not the only crowd I’ve been in - I took my French friend’s daughter, Marie up the Skyline and was amazed to find every carpark packed full, plus a big queue for the luge on a weekday morning. In town, all the cafes seemed busy and while Fergburger’s queue wasn’t a long one, it was quite definitely still a queue. Funny what a thrill it is to see queues and full carparks now. Finding Marie in New Zealand was a thrill - just before lockdown I’d been at a memoir writing workshop. We were talking about people who’d influenced our lives in a major way - my story was about my amazing French teacher. One of the other students knew exactly who I was talking about and said she often catches up with her when she is in France. Instantly I was swapping lovely newsy emails with not only my teacher, but her niece, who had spent a year at school with me, and had become a great friend. I’m sure everyone knows how easy it was to lose contact with friends in the pre-internet days. And I discovered Marie, who I hadn’t even known existed, was in lockdown in Ranfurly. I do love living in the internet world. And I do love living in the real world again where we can be a proper community. In spite of all the problems the Wakatipu always faces, topped up with all the ones that have suddenly landed on us, it’s still the best community in the world. My lovely friends’ house burnt down last week and they were so thrilled at how incredible everyone was at offering them help and accommodation and warm clothes and all the other things you need when suddenly you have absolutely nothing. Well, not nothing - the most important things are friends, family and a safe and healthy part of the world to live in. Lucky, lucky us.

QUEENSTOWNERS HIT THE TRAILS DURING COVID-19 LOCKDOWN We were stoked to see Queenstown’s trails experiencing a surge in users during lockdown, with more than 160,000 walkers and cyclists on the network during Alert Level 4, with some trail sections up 250% on regular usage. It was hugely rewarding to see people out in their ‘bubbles’ enjoying the area’s network of cycling and walking trails during what was a difficult time for many. We are delighted that our trails provided the ‘essential service’ of fresh air and exercise, contributing to the health and wellbeing of Queenstowner’s during lockdown. Particularly popular were the Twin Rivers trail with over 64,746 users (up 165%), the Kelvin Peninsula trail with 10,628 users (up 39%) and the Jack’s Point trail with 4,061 users (120%). This year, we have repositioned our annual fundraising appeal, underway now, to reflect the pandemic. We know that people are doing it tough out there but we also know people want to support the development of new tracks and trails. So we’re offering everyone the opportunity to become a friend of the Queenstown Trails Trust for just $5 this year. While many of the Trusts long-term supporters will continue to contribute with larger donations, the lower entry fee will enable first time supporters to get involved. As Queenstown braces for life post pandemic, we’re working hard to plan and build new trails, which will provide locals new places to ride and also attract visitors giving our economy a boost. The funds raised during this appeal will be an important part of this. Work is already underway on some awesome new trails on and around Coronet Peak, consent is lodged for a new trail between Tuckers Beach and Arrowtown, and we’re forging ahead with some proposals for absolutely epic backcountry trails which will blow your socks off! The first 500 Friends to sign up will get a thank you gift pack, including a 2020 keyring with Friend of the Trust ID tag and bike sticker. New Friends will also receive the Queenstown Trails Trust

bi-monthly newsletter meaning members will be first to hear the latest trail news. Since 2018 the Trust has been working on a $15million expansion plan to grow the existing network, plus the development of new trails around the Coronet Peak area and beyond. Life after Covid-19 will bring huge challenges to Queenstown, but for the Trust, it brings huge possibilities for trail development and investment from national government, jobs and an economic boost for the region. We’d love your support, join now from just $5 www.queenstowntrail.org.nz/donations Mark ‘Willy’ Williams Queenstown Trails Trust CEO

RESPONSE TO LAST WEEK’S EDITORIAL

PLEASE STOP

I love this article. I have had lived in Queenstown for 2 years moved from Christchurch to Queenstown when the Feb 22 earthquake hit. I am now back in Christchurch and I really miss Queenstown till this day. Made many beautiful memories in Queenstown my desktop is clogged with photos of Queenstown. I have just obtained NZ Citizenship. I love NZ and no where I would rather live.

I wish to ask the person who removed my gift of flowers from my Mother’s grave to consider the heartache he or she has caused. This is the seconded time it has happened recently once before lockdown and once more in the last two weeks.

Well said. I have excellent New Zealand staff and Overseas staff at Hop on Hop off Wine & Beer tours. Wouldn’t have it any other way. From a Southland girl x Juliearna Kavanagh

My Mother has been at rest for 11 years and has always loved fresh flowers during the summer my garden provides flowers in the autumn and winter I buy them for her. As it is my gift of love for an amazing Lady.

TOP MARKS TO THE COMMUNITY HUB If you are like me a visa worker, now without a job, after being made redundant and stressing over what’s going to happen and where I’ll end up and you haven’t been to the Community hub program, can I recommend it. I was very apprehensive about going, given I knew immigration was going to be there and didn’t want to be thrown out of the country immediately, but I went and walked away with lots of information and with a whole lot at peace. Of course, it not all great news but being able to speak to people from government

that seem to care and the charities really helped put my mind at ease. Some of the things I took away- Immigration in person were really helpful and so nice, I’m not going to get kicked out immediately which was really important to me, the people that hand out the food vouchers are there and also travel agents who are helping me in getting a refund to an Air NZ ticket I had. They were far more useful than the airline. Just wanted to let everyone know its totally worth going to. Jobless but wise

We believe that in the face of adversity there is power in Courage, Collaboration and Creation. So we set ourselves the task of creating a product which does just that and most importantly one that brings Kiwis together. The main insight behind the campaign is “great ideas always happen over beers”. In order to develop the C BOMB concept we needed a partner to collaborate with (preferably one that knows how to brew a great beer). That’s when we got talking to Graham Kinlan at Cargo Brewery. We challenged him and the team to develop a product that would deliver on the vision. The result was a lovingly blended hoppy West Coast Style IPA. We knew it wasn’t just a beer, it was a symbol of a future full of possibilities which starts by getting powerful minds together. The campaign is about inspiring and helping to get great ideas made. So we’ve challenged New Zealand to send us the weird and wonderful (beer-fuelled) brainwaves they’ve had during lockdown. We’ll select one winner and do what we do; take an idea and turn it into reality through strategy, language and identity. To do this, we’re offering a half day BrainSpill™ workshop facilitated by Fluid, hosted at Cargo. This is a brainstorming session to unlock the potential within your idea and catapult it towards being a reality Our limited run of C BOMB sold out in two weekends, and the ideas are flowing in the door. So get in quick. Enter your idea online @ https://mailchi.mp/5f03fd094b2f/c-bomb-beer

We’re here to help the hospitality workforce

Taco Medic’s Grand Opening in QTC!

Covid-19 has changed the hospitality landscape, and while no-one can predict what the future holds, what we do know is that we can help you and your workforce to retrain and upskill. Otago Polytechnic’s Central campus offers a variety of flexible learning options that can help your valuable staff and passionate chefs gain their qualifications during this time of recovery.

Queenstown’s homegrown craft taqueria, Taco Medic, is opening a new shop in Queenstown Central on June 19th! They will be hosting an opening day party from 4 pm – 9 pm on the 19th where they will be serving all of their tacos and beverages for just $5 each. After this day, their normal operating hours will be 11-9.

Talk to us now about our managed traineeship. This allows the student to earn while they learn, and when the work returns, the learning moves from the classroom back to the workplace.

“We’ve been working behind the scenes for some time now to bring this shop to life,” says Taco Medic’s Co-Founder, Robbie McGillivray. “We are so excited to have a shop on this side of town so that we can fill this new taqueria with local energy and celebrate our community and this big step for Taco Medic”

There has never been a better time to reward and recognise skills and knowledge – contact us now to see how we can support you and your staff.

Slim Slee Takes Home to Kurow First Prize Jet Boat Under normal circumstances, Kurow farmer Slim Slee has no trouble shoehorning a four metre wide paddock leveller through 4.2 metre gateways, but circumstances on Friday afternoon, May 29, were anything but normal. In his haste, and to his embarrassment, Slim’s leveller demolished a gate post on his way to share exciting news with wife Janina. Central Motor Speedway President Andy Erskine had just phoned to say Slim’s raffle ticket had won the first prize $90,000 Edgecraft jet boat. Like so many who win big prizes, Slim, and the Slee family’s good luck has a back story. “I was wandering around this year’s Wanaka A & P Show when it dawned on me that unusually, I hadn’t bought anything,” explained Slim with a wide grin. “Then while checking out the Claas site a smart-looking yellow and back deck jetboat sporting a large promotional panel caught my eye. I’m into motorsport and powerboating, and was happy to spend $100 on a raffle ticket to support Central Motor Speedway fundraising efforts. Than as I was about to walk away, I thought why not, and bought a second ticket. Lucky I did, as this was the winning ticket.” Both tickets were sold to Slim by Central Motor Speedway club member Jeannine Cunningham who put a tremendous amount of time and effort into navigating official avenues involved with setting up and running a raffle Last weekend Slim and Janina made a family weekend of collecting their brand new jetboat from the Edgecraft workshop in the Highlands Industrial Park. Loading their four daughters, two granddaughters and a friend into a hire van equipped with tow bar, Saturday was spent taking advantage of Queenstown attractions before they came across to Highlands early on Sunday afternoon. After some photo ops and briefing from Edgecraft owner and Central Motor Speedway promoter, Jason Scott, the prize boat was launched at Bannockburn Inlet. With six litres in full cry it roared off to be put through its paces and for Slim to get a feel of driving this close to 100kph speedster. Despite the chilly temps Slim and daughters returned from their first outing brimming with excitement and talking enthusiastically about future adventures on the Waitaki River and hydro lakes. Central Motor Speedway congratulates Slim as well as second, third, fourth and fifth prize winners, and thanks all who bought raffle tickets to make this such a very successful fundraiser that will go a long way to helping provide the racing and spectator amenities and facilities that have brought recognition to Central Otago as having one of the country’s best speedway tracks.

It’s thumbs up and smiles all round from the Slee family in their first prize Edgecraft jet boat. From left to right (front)... Sam (16), Quinn (granddaughter, 21 months), Slim Slee. Rear... Maggie Hartland (17, friend of Sam), Soni (22), Indi (granddaughter, 6 months), Janina (wife, mother & grandmother), Leah (24) and Sydney (13)
