Our idea to help the homeless Kia Ora, I’m Hannah, one of the co-founders of the Housing Initiative. In the wake of a housing crisis that has gripped our community for decades, I’ve dedicated my free time since March to engaging with those affected. It’s disheartening that despite this crisis being well-known to elected officials over the years, no one has taken responsibility to address and rectify the situation. The often-cited excuse of ‘red tape’ has hindered progress, and if I had a dollar for every time I heard it, I could almost single-handedly fund a solution. Contrary to some beliefs, this crisis is not restricted to the hospitality and tourism sectors impacting individuals across various fields and backgrounds. Issues such as escalating rents, a shift in the market towards short-term rentals, and a lack of infrastructure to support workers are just a few facets of this complex problem. Recent amendments to freedom camping legislation emphasize that ‘freedom camping is a voluntary activity; being homeless is not.’ The government has committed to working with local councils to establish referral pathways for those experiencing homelessness, aiming to ensure they do not face legal repercussions. However, the application of these changes in Queenstown remains unclear. In response to these challenges, I propose the concept of ‘Safe Sleep Zones.’ Council-owned car parks, including those at the Events Centre and Gorge Road, could be designated as safe spaces for sleeping from 5pm to 9am, without the fear of fines or safety concerns. These locations are strategically chosen to be discreet, away from roads, and not situated in residential areas. A recent survey conducted by the Housing Initiative revealed that 85% of the community supports this initiative. Concerns about facilities and the assurance that only locals benefit can be addressed through the implementation of a monthly pass system. Individuals seeking to utilize these Safe Sleep Zones could apply, register their plates, and receive a pass, providing both a practical solution and a measure of support for the more vulnerable members of our community. This initiative is a testament to the resilience and unity of Queenstown’s community spirit. While it’s just one part of a broader issue, I am actively working on other projects to contribute to a comprehensive solution. Addressing this crisis requires time, empathy, kindness, and a collaborative effort. Queenstown’s appeal lies in its vibrant community, and by safeguarding that, we can create positive changes for the future. If you have stories to share, questions, or if you believe you can contribute, feel free to reach out to me at qt.housing.initiative@gmail.com. Stay safe, and let’s continue looking out for each other. Hannah Sullivan

Project Manawa Consultation is underway on potential first steps to enable Project Manawa; a longterm vision for community and cultural facilities in the heart of Tāhuna Queenstown. If fully realised in the future, Project Manawa could be a place that has people, creativity and connection at its core, supporting a step change in public transport and providing easy access to the rest of town and the lakefront. The consultation happening now covers two topics: PROPOSED LAND EXCHANGES

Options to exchange parcels of land to optimise the potential for the Manawa site; and

A potential governance structure for constructing and administering the new civic administration building at the Manawa site.

Marathon a cracker By QMG

Defended titles, course records, gut-busting charity runs, familiar faces and sunshine - Queenstown Marathon weekend pulled out all the stops for 2023. Daniel Jones and Hannah Oldroyd took the tape for the main event, both making it back-to-back wins in the full Queenstown Marathon distance. Christchurch-based Brit Oldroyd set a new course best time on the way to her fourth title at the Queenstown Marathon, surpassing the previous best time – also set by Oldroyd in 2018 – by more than two minutes. She finished in 2:49:50, nearly eight minutes faster than Alex Barnes in second, with Hannah Maher rounding out the women’s podium. “That was beautiful, very unexpected, I got into a race far too early and I never thought I’d catch the girl in front but I can’t complain,” Oldroyd said at the finish line. “It’s just great to keep coming back to this race, and the win was very unexpected.

pretty stoked. I can’t believe I’ve done it, I can do hard things and that’s pretty cool. But right now I’m looking forward to a beer.” Also taking part in the half marathon was local firefighter Jamie Harris who ran the half marathon in his full firefighting kit, including his cylinder weighing about 17kg, to raise money for Leukaemia & Blood Cancer Foundation. Harris completed the 21.1km effort in 3:08:06. “I’m a little bit drained, I haven’t been 100% all week but I ploughed through it, got to the end so yeah it was good,” he said. “The fine weather probably didn’t help running like this. “I’ve been a fundraising firefighter for years and now my sister has just been diagnosed with a rare blood cancer so I’m just creating a bit more awareness that it doesn’t matter who you are, cancer doesn’t discriminate.”

Jones, meanwhile, claimed his third victory at the Queenstown Marathon, completing the 42.2km course in 2:31:13, with Ben Gatting two minutes behind in second, and Lithuanian runner Orestas Rimkus in third. Dunedin’s Rebekah Greene set a course best time in the half marathon, finishing in 1:16:47, despite starting 30 seconds after the horn went off, while she waited for her partner to pass on her race bib. “I wanted the race to be comfortable but also hard, but I knew it was a long way so if I was hurting at 10k it was going to be a suffer fest, so I just tried to pick off people in front of me and then tried to run with them a bit and they really helped me. “That last k went by so fast, you had so many people cheering that it distracted you, it was awesome.” Rounding out the women’s half marathon podium were Katie Morgan in second and Hannah Berry in third. Two of NZ’s leading triathletes made up the men’s half marathon podium. Wānaka’s Braden Currie took out the title, completing the 21.1km course in 1:11:12. Lithuanian runner Paulius Auryla finished over a minute later for second, with Mike Phillips in third. More than 11,000 runners took part in one of four distances, the New Zealand Sotheby’s International Realty Marathon, La Roche Posay Half Marathon, Havana Coffee 10km and the Queenstown Airport Kids Run. Completing the half marathon marked an incredible milestone in 27-year-old Gendi Roberts’ recovery from multiple life-saving surgeries. At just eight years old Roberts, from Nelson, was diagnosed with EhlersDanlos Syndrome (EDS), a group of connective tissue disorders. As she got older her symptoms worsened and she eventually needed life-saving spine and brain surgery in 2017. The recovery was painful, with Roberts having to relearn to walk, talk and even swallow. Despite having never been for a run in her life, she signed up for the half to prove to herself that her body is still capable of doing hard things despite everything it’s been through. On Saturday, she completed the race in 2:18:33. “I could cry now I’ve finished,” she said. “It was awesome, it was such a fun event. I did it, and I didn’t walk. The body is sore but we’re in one piece so I’m

Glenorchy project takes architecture gongs By Paul Taylor

If you prefer “delightfully simple sleeping huts rather than a high-end hotel”, New Zealand’s top architects agree with you. The Great Glenorchy Alpine Basecamp, a collection of 14 gable-roofed sleeping huts and adjacent communal spaces off Oban Street, won big at the 2023 New Zealand Architecture Awards, held in Wellington on Thursday.

The project, designed by RTA Studio and Bureaux Architecture, took home the Sir Miles Warren Award for Commercial Architecture and an award in the hospitality category.

Judges said while many global tourist destinations are suffering from being overrun by huge visitor numbers, the “slow tourism of The Great Glenorchy Alpine Base Camp suggests a softer touch”. “The experiences here for tourists are not offering hospitality with a high demand in terms of energy and resource use. The low-impact buildings and site services offer delightfully simple sleeping huts rather than a high-end hotel, something which suggests visitors who book an experience here are much more in tune with the spirit of the place.”

Hut exteriors from path

The project team of Richard Naish, Mitchell Round, Adam Dwen, Anne Thiermann and Jessica Barter were also praised for delivering appropriate architecture for a property that sits on the doorstep of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. “Fourteen simple, gable-roofed sleeping huts and adjacent communal spaces are built from mainly locally sourced materials and have a low embodied and operational energy footprint. Inspired clients, together with the architects, interior architects and builders, have not only created a true fit to place, but offer the best pre- and post- experiences for visitors engaging with this powerful landscape.”

December remains target By Paul Taylor

Queenstown residents who are still boiling water have three more weeks to wait before they can drink it straight from the tap. Council work to install UV treatment at its Two Mile water treatment plant, along with other similar plants in the district, is on track. The system will protect against protozoa such as cryptosporidium, which caused an outbreak of illness in September and October. There have been more than 70 confirmed cases of the gastro bug, after cryptosporidium contaminated the water supply, likely through human poo entering the Two Mile plant from Lake Wakatipu.

“It will be transferred to another of our treatment plants once a permanent system is completed at Two Mile. We’ve been designing systems for other plants in parallel in order to achieve full compliance across the district as quickly as possible.” Avery says the project remains on track to its original estimated completion date of 8 December, with the boil water notice likely to be lifted the week of 11 December. Work on the Western Wānaka water intake will begin this week. Contractors Fulton Hogan and Veolia are completing all the works.

Queenstown Lakes District Council infrastructure boss Tony Avery says installing the barrier itself was only one part of the overall project. “We’ll also be cleaning and flushing the entire network supplied by Two Mile,” he says. “This is a significant, one-off undertaking outside of normal business and something we’ve been planning alongside work at the treatment plant itself. “It will include draining and cleaning Fernhill #1 Reservoir as well as cleaning and inspecting all other network reservoirs. We’ll also be flushing the piped network to ensure any sediment where cryptosporidium could potentially still reside is displaced.” He urges people to continue boiling water in the affected areas, stretching from Fernhill to Queenstown Hill, until the work is completed. “In addition, we ask that everyone including commuters and visitors from other parts of the district maintain good personal hygiene – specifically cleaning and drying their hands thoroughly – to help ensure we stamp out the risk of further cases in our community.” Avery says a site office was established some weeks ago near Fernhill Reservoir and the container that will hold the UV system is already on-site at the Two Mile plant. “This will be a temporary system that, along with successful cleaning and flushing, will meet all requirements of the compliance order in the fastest possible time.

New childcare facility opens doors Curious Minds Early Learning Queenstown is open! Based in Five Mile, the childcare centre caters for tamariki aged from six months to their sixth birthday, across three learning spaces, including a sleeping room for the little ones. It also boasts a private sunny outdoor play area with grass and trees. The family-owned business is new to the district but the Hitchins family have been operating in the sector for more than 21 years and have three boutique facilities in Wellington. Curious Minds Queenstown is the first one outside Wellington. “We’ve always planned to open a centre somewhere else in the country, and what a place to come to work! “ says Vivien Hitchins. “We love all the attributes and attractions of the local area and it’s such a privilege to be part of this amazing, vibrant community. We’ve felt so much support through our journey to opening.” The centre’s philosophy is that tamariki, Kaiako and whānau are all ākonga soaring on a journey of learning as one. “We plant the seed to empower all ākonga to see themselves and each other as competent and confident individuals who steer their own learning. Growing independence, kindness, and compassion to create our flourishing learning community,” Vivien says. Curiosity, exploration, collaboration and a sense of wonder is encouraged, and wellbeing, relationships, respect and celebrating the bicultural heritage of Aotearoa are also fundamentals.

Children will be motivated to seek challenges and conquer then, increasing their resilience and ability to cope with change, while the environment is also an important teacher. “We inspire ākonga to be kaitiakitanga and care for papatūānuku and all that is living.” The centre has capacity for 82 tamariki, with excellent ratios to the quality, trained staff, who will number around 15 when everything is up to speed, and are offered Full Pay Parity and accommodation for those relocating. Vivien says the family recognised the need for more childcare capacity in Queenstown, and also the difficulties in finding housing, so has bought some staff accommodation. Curious Minds Early Learning Queenstown will be open 7.30am5.30pm, 52 weeks of the year (closed public holidays) and offers competitive fees. Centre manager Sinead Harrington is on hand to answer any questions and encourages parents to pick up the phone or email to arrange a visit and secure a spot. “We’re in a great location and are passionate about providing a warm, caring and simulating environment where tamariki can flourish, while feeling supported and loved by our amazing teachers,” Sinead says “We appreciate that parents are entrusting us with their most prized and loved child and they can feel calm, confident and relaxed while they go about their day.”

Visa workers struggling - CAB under immense pressure By Sue Fea

Queenstown Citizens Advice Bureau has seen a 44% jump in workload from overseas visa workers facing everything from exploitation to massive visa processing delays with no income due to impractical and unworkable immigration rules, says manager Tracy Pool. “We don’t see these people until they’re desperate, but the Accredited Employer Visa regulations need an urgent overhaul,” Pool says. The way the process works currently a worker may have to wait three months to change employers when they’re already an accredited employee and have another job waiting. It’s crazy,” she says. “The system is wrong if we have to spend that much time helping visa workers who can’t afford to seek help.” It’s putting enormous pressure on the migrant workers as well as employers who need the staff when accredited staff are ready and waiting to be sponsored but INZ red tape won’t allow them to work. It’s also costing Accredited Employers, who are already squeezed tight for costs and having to pay unqualiﬁed, junior Accredited Employer Visa holders $29.66 an hour, which is signiﬁcantly above the average wage rates for the jobs they’re doing. “Kiwis won’t come here but those who do usually get between $24 and $27 an hour for the same jobs,” Pool says. “We’ve had some cases of people stuck in limbo without income for up to three months while approvals are being processed, living in cars, relying on local food banks to get by,” she says. In one recent case CAB wrote to INZ asking for help on “humanitarian grounds” as one worker would’ve literally been “living on the streets”. “Our employee advocate is handling 12 cases at present. She eventually got money out of this man’s former employer to help him, but it was a major case. The worst we’ve seen.” Pool is calling for Immigration New Zealand to use Queenstown as a “trial bubble” and appoint an independent body like CAB to assist desperate visa workers, mostly non-English speaking, trying to battle their way through confusing bureaucratic hoops. This body would act as an independent advocate and advisor for the overseas workers. “Until we get that nothing will change,” she says. CAB has also seen an unprecedented number of exploited migrant worker cases in recent months all because the workers have no idea what their rights are, she says.

Local hospitality employers who are Accredited Employers say the requirements are putting huge pressure on their businesses having to fork out a minimum of $29.66 an hour for unqualified staff just to fill jobs. Hospitality NZ accommodation sector chairperson Caryln Topp says it makes no sense having to pay so much more to accredited workers with no experience. “It’s a minefield getting your head around the bureaucracy,” she says. “Working holiday visa holders can only work for one employer for three months too and then must move on. You’ve spent a month training them, you get two good months, and they go to a different employer.” She’s signed up almost 100 employees on contract in the past year who’ve then said, ‘no’, because another employer’s offered them more. It’s too expensive to fight that through a lawyer. One flooring company has signed up 75 in similar circumstances in the past year. Future Hospitality’s Bert Haines says the Accredited Employer Scheme higher pay rates are “a massive issue” for his seven bars. “INZ has created an artificial, inflated minimum wage that just drives down other wages to keep your business operating. We’ve had people wanting to get sponsored under the scheme, almost embarrassed to ask as they know that rate isn’t deserved (as per their experience) and they’ll be clipping off their workmates,” Haines says. Another long-time bar owner is grappling with replacing a lot of long-term experienced staff and will need between 12 and 16 staff for peak summer. “It’s been a really hard three years and businesses are squeezed more than ever. We’re losing awesome senior people, some heading back overseas. For others, it’s too hard to find housing and settle here with the cost of living.” He’s also battling visa issues. “We’re trying to sponsor people but it’s immensely expensive and difficult.” Another multiple bar owner agrees housing is a major issue. “There are more coming through but not with experience and it’s a struggle to keep them around. Most end up heading to Mount Maunganui where accommodation is cheaper,” she says.

Accredited Employer median wage set to jump to $31.61 The NZ Immigration median wage for Accredited Employers is set to jump to $31.61, in February, from the current rate of $29.66 an hour. Immigration NZ’s director visa Sarah Clifford says however this is at the discretion of the incoming Government. No accredited employer can hire a migrant worker below the median wage, unless they are working in speciﬁc sectors, where there are sector agreements or wage exemptions in place. INZ has changed its Accredited Employer Work Visa assessment approach, requesting more information from employers, including whether they can support the migrants they plan to hire, she says.

Any decision to change the Accredited Employer Work Visa or Partner of a Worker Visa policies would be a matter for the incoming Government. Workers are encouraged to report any exploitation through Employment New Zealand’s online reporting form or the dedicated 0800 number (0800 20 00 88). If exploited, they can access a 6-month Migrant Exploitation Protection Visa (MEPV) that allows them to quickly leave an employer who is exploiting them and remain lawfully in New Zealand while there is an investigation into the exploitation. Information about what your employer’s obligations are and your rights as a migrant worker can be found at the links below. This information is available in seven different languages.

Fortunately, Gomez had started work at Eichardt’s, but his partner waited from December 15 until early April this year with no income while his Accredited Employer Visa was approved. CAB was a great help, he says. After a month they found a shared room in a hostel and after 30 rejections eventually rented a one-bedroom Frankton apartment. “It’s a miracle.”

QEII Trust sharing exciting plans for Remarkables Station By Sue Fea Work will hopefully start early next year creating one of the most majestic walking trails in the region beneath the craggy outcrops of the Remarkables, as part of plans to open up the covenanted QEII National Trust land on Remarkables Station. The trust is inviting the public along to a ‘Howdy Neighbour’ gathering this Wednesday, 22 November, where various partners will outline plans to protect and gradually open up public access to parts of the land. Remarkables Station owners Dick and Jillian Jardine gifted 900ha of their land to QEII Trust in 2022, ensuring it was covenanted and protected for future generations. Trust Whakatipu relationship manager Nita Smith says such a gift in such an iconic location comes with huge opportunity, also with huge responsibility. “As new neighbours, we want to be connected to our community and involve our community where we can into the future,” she says. She’ll outline background and the incredible history steeped in the property before speaking about the Trust’s 50-year vision for the land and outlining projects now starting to get underway. A new charitable trust was formalised this week, headed up by Wakatipu High School teacher and rock climber Guillaume Charton, who’s had a long relationship with the Jardines through the Queenstown Climbing Club which has access to the Jardine Boulders. “We’ve been talking to the QEII Trust for a year, brainstorming ideas, after being approached by the farm team about ideas to open up this majestic part of Queenstown for people to enjoy walking,” Charton says. “This is through the foothills of an almost 2000m face, looking out towards Lake Wakatipu, Ben Lomond and Cecil Peak. It’s a different perspective.” The Remarkables Trails Trust has been set up to establish trails on the land while fitting in with the vision and objectives of QEII Trust, he says. “It’s a working farm so we have to train the public to respect that operation.”

It will be a staged trail development, the first of which is a 1-hour loop below the Wye Creek track, about the same level of difficulty as Sawpit Gully Trail. “We’ll be testing that to see how people respect it, respond and support it before moving onto the next stage,” he says. This will be a much larger traverse trail from above Jack’s Point below the Remarkables ridges to an area above Park Ridge Roundabout. This trail will be developed above the Jardine Boulders, he says. “That Southern Corridor is missing adventures and it’s an area of such growth. So much is needed.” The new Trails Trust will rely heavily on sponsorship and community support. “The trails will be owned by the community but built by professionals and volunteers.” They’ll be ‘route track’ style, organic and “blend in with the maunga”. Native planting, pest control and education will be all part of the projects on the station land. “We want to provide adventures where people can take their kids and enjoy the outdoors,” he says. Smith says the full trail will eventually run the length of the Remarkables foothills for eight to 10kms. “We will be looking for funding to deliver this,” she says. Southern Lakes Sanctuary and the Whakatipu Wildlife Trust are already doing predator control on the property and will outline their plans. “They’ve got trap lines installed on the property and plan to install more. Wye Creek is heavily trapped. That whole Southern Corridor is really important.” Waka Kotahi will develop a cycle trail through some of the 8ha QEII Trust block on the lake side of the State Highway from the Park Ridge Roundabout as part of its Active Transport Network. This will connect the Southern Corridor to Frankton through the station land. Updates on this will also be provided at the gathering. Queenstown Climbing Club members will explain about the Jardine Boulders and farm lessee Matt Little will speak about farm systems, setting clear expectations about what’s appropriate when the likes of deer are grazing. “It’s not just open access. It will be very clearly directed public access,” Smith says.

Plans are afoot for the beautiful expanse of land gifted to the QEII Trust by Remarkables Station owners Dick and Jillian Jardine

Arts+Culture Celebrating female change-makers by Jess Allen

The second annual Inspirational Women Awards and Gala is happening this Saturday – the International Day for Elimination of Violence Against Women – at the Rydges Lakeland Resort. The event raises funds and awareness for The Women’s Refuge services of Otago, as well as celebrates some of the region’s female change-makers and leaders. Event organiser Julia Strelou hopes that the evening will play a part in reducing violence in the area, with funds going towards building a safe house in Queenstown. There’s currently no safe house here for women and children who have experienced domestic violence. The event isn’t just about shining a spotlight on physical abuse – abuse can come in many different shapes and forms, and that’s something that the Women’s Refuge is keen to highlight, too. “One in three New Zealand women have experienced domestic violence, which is a staggering figure,” Strelou says. “It’s also the same figure as the global number, which is devastating for a country like New Zealand that prides itself on being such a safe and family-friendly country, that we have so much abuse in our country and that we’ve got the same number as the global figure. The idea is to bring awareness to that fact, because I think domestic violence is something that thrives in silence and suppression. It’s one of those things that where I think the best way to make a difference in that sector is to get louder, to talk about it and to make sure women who have experienced domestic violence feel that it is okay, they’re not alone, they can talk about it.” The event will also showcase some of the inspiring women in the region during the awards part of the evening. Strelou wanted to give a platform to the women who were making a difference, and empower female leaders. The 2022 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Impact Report by Global Women and Champions for Change revealed that only 40% of NZX 50 companies have female CEOs. That’s in stark contrast the overall workforce in New Zealand, which consists of 47% women. There’s four award categories; Inspirational Woman, Entrepreneurial, Community, and Resilient. Each category includes three finalists who are bringing about positive change in their respective area. Sunitha Karunakaran is one such finalist in the Inspirational Woman category – she founded the Lakes District Multicultural Council (LDMC), and is a tireless advocate for cultural diversity and inclusivity in Queenstown. Kiara Moore, founder of Aspiring Therapy, is a finalist in the Entrepreneurial Woman space for her business that specialises in equine-assisted therapy.

Award-winning Stuff journalist, the late Jo McKenzie-McLean, will receive the Honorary Inspirational Woman Award after she lost her battle with stage-four cancer earlier this year. She heroically rescued two adult men during an unexpected ordeal in Lake Dunstan, just a few hours after undergoing chemotherapy. She cocreated the podcast Jo vs Cancer, which offered insights and support to others who may be dealing with cancer. There’s also six Highly Commended Medalists who have done some amazing things to stand out and help the community. “We still don’t have a safe house in Queenstown and the idea is that we raise funds to help the refuges, either Central-Lakes Family Services or The Women’s Refuge, to get one here, or in the closer vicinity like Cromwell. This way women and children who are experiencing domestic abuse in our region don’t have to travel as far as Invercargill, Dunedin or Gore.” The Inspirational Women Awards and Gala will take place at the Rydges in Queenstown on Saturday, 25 November, and includes a 3-course meal and 3-hour drinks package. There will also be charity auctions and speakers on the night. Head to inspirationalwomenawards.org to purchase tickets, make a donation or ﬁnd out more information. All proceeds will go to The Women’s Refuge and Central-Lakes Family Services.

“This came about drawing from my experiences being a migrant and also a Muslim, and just a marginalised individual coming to Queenstown,” Zambri says. “I had challenges ﬁnding my place in the creative space, and for the last few years I’ve hosted events, either from Bright Ink Bookshop or the library, focusing on a platform for our marginalised communities to just be themselves. “With Hidden Identities, I kind of wanted to highlight our hidden identities in society – many from marginalised communities feel that they often need to hide their true self for societal approval. So they’ve got this concealed facet of their cultural heritage, gender, orientation, abilities and struggles. We wanted to explore this and encourage conversation around it – just to have a safe and judgement-free space for people to come and share their story.”

Hidden Identities - an exhibition to amplify the voices of marginalised communities Hidden Identities, an exhibition at Te Atamira that aims to amplify the voices of marginalised communities in the region and beyond, is running until the end of the month. It includes curated sculptures and artworks, carefully crafted by artists from a range of different backgrounds and experience. Natasya Zambri is one of the masterminds behind Bright Ink Bookshop and is at the helm of this project. Working under the moniker of Tāhuna Kollektif, it serves as a platform for marginalised communities to share the hidden facets of daily lives that are often concealed for societal approval. Zambri says the initiative is open to anyone that may not consider themselves an artist, but are seeking a creative space to express their unique story. She says they’ve touched on topics such as ageism, displacement, poverty, cultural diaspora, sexual assult, gender expression and identities, and much more.

When the exhibition ﬁrst launched, Zambri had some community discussions and held talks with some of the artists involved where they explained their personal journeys and stories. Don’t worry if you missed out on those earlier talks though, there’s a booklet of stories at the exhibition that you can match to each artwork, which has created an engaging and interactive experience. In June, Zambri made the decision to transfer her ownership of Bright Ink Bookshop so that she can focus on putting on events outside of her role at the library. She says it’s been truly heart-warming to witness people from diverse backgrounds express excitement about the opportunity to showcase their creations in an exhibition. “I want to continue providing this platform for our marginalised communities because often I feel like it’s a luxury for them to maybe even do art. I feel like sometimes someone has to reach out to them and pull their hand into the creative space. For me, I had to open the bookshop to do the events I wanted to do, like open mic, poetry, affordable writing workshops and zine workshops. I came to the conclusion that instead of focusing on running the bookshop and events at the bookshop, I want to just do events – and that’s how Tāhuna Kollektif was created,” she says. Hidden Identities will run at Te Atamira until Thursday, 30 November, and is a free exhibition. More information can be found at teatamira.nz

My Life Story

by Sue Fea

MIKE HANSEN Engine man

He ran the main engine room of Queenstown for 20 years and kept the wheels turning – a born and bred local. Renowned for starting Hansen’s Auto Services and later Beaurepaires, life’s adventures were only just beginning for Mike when he opted out of the trade in 2004. Born in 1952, Queenstown was a sleepy little village when Mike, whose grandfather and father farmed Lake Johnson and Frankton Flats, grew up on Arranmore farm, their home where Bunnings is now. Local aviation legends Tex Smith and Popeye Lucas landed on the airstrip next door until Queenstown Airport claimed some of the Hansen farm to seal the runway, offset with airport land. The government also took land to build the new Shotover Bridge in the 1970s. Mike biked to the school bus at the now BP corner, meeting the bus at Gray Street, a dirt track. He’d bike the billy and later the milk bottles, with tokens, to the gate and collect the milk. There was one school rugby team and if you weren’t in it, you played soccer. “We did a lot of skating on frozen ponds. Hensman Road had a great skating rink and we got one day’s skiing at year at school.” Alan Pay ran the mini-mart at Frankton Corner where his mum sold fresh eggs and raspberries. During ‘the Big Snow of 1968’ Lake Johnson froze over and the Airforce arrived to fly farmers supplies. High school here ended in fifth form, so Mike did his UE year at Otago Boy’s in Dunedin boarding as a ‘house boy’ in Campbell House. A senior brought in ‘contraband’ alcohol stowed in the town belt for which they’d pay a handsome price to retrieve. Farming wasn’t him so at 19 he started his Automotive Technician’s apprenticeship at GWD Russells in Invercargill, studying at night at Polytech, gaining an Advanced Trade Certificate, and eventually tutoring himself. A training trip to Wellington made him grateful to get home. “The windows blew in while we were sitting in the pub that night.” After marrying wife of 49 years Maureen, they moved back to Queenstown in 1978 with their two preschoolers. Mike worked at Alpine Motors, quickly learning the intricacies of Cleveland 351 jetboat engines with tourism clients like Colin Robinson and Ross Marrett. “The town was awash with counterfeit American dollars blowing around from the filming of Race for the Yankee Zephyr.”

Mike at home in the land he loves

In 1980 he launched Hansen’s Auto Services , one of just three small buildings in Industrial Place, gradually expanding into Repco Boulevard. Mike sold the automotive repairs side to his foreman in 1997 and started a Beaurepaires franchise – the infamous cardboard cutout of ‘Vince Martin’ taking pride of place in the workshop. “We worked on everything from wheelbarrows to tractors.” While the Arrow River contributed to Mike’s retirement fund, swamping many an engine, his workshop was also hired by Honda Japan during winter. Shrouded in secrecy, they’d bring their latest prototype four-wheel drives in, hidden in refrigerator trucks, testing them on Coronet Peak at night. “We had to sweet talk the man from NZ Motorcorp to even get to see those cars. They even brought their own petrol.” The 1987 sharemarket crash was tough. “Reputable customers went broke. We worked seven days and got out by the skin of our teeth.” On the first ever local Branches School Camp in 1968 – a far more conservative version than today’s, Mike fell in love with the backcountry, regularly camping on the Borrell’s Branches Station at Lake Lochnagar and 100-Mile with the family. “We’d take the mail and ice creams in for Lorraine and Arthur (Borrell), enjoying Lorraine’s scones and tea in exchange.” The Aero Club would sometimes fly Mike in if Arthur’s ute got stuck in the Shotover. The family graduated from Central Otago 4WD Club adventures to sailing, Mike making his mark in the region, as far south as Stewart Island, sailing in regattas. He clocked a second, and a crew win with his son, in the Donald Hay Yacht Race. A Queenstown Rotarian, the Pottle Race down the Shotover River went awry one year when the make-shift boom barrier broke in floodwaters. After a dabble in real estate and property management, Mike and Maureen travelled extensively staying everywhere from a high-altitude mud hut in South America and walking the Inca Trail, to the opulence of the Waldorf Asteria in New York. There have been extensive sailing trips around northern NZ and backcountry campervan expeditions all over the country. These days it’s biking, boating, gardening, and fishing and family. No horse riding though. For this farm boy ‘the only horsepower is under the bonnet’.

Mike and Maureen back in their dating days

“This is the second-best place in the world. As for the ﬁrst, I haven’t found it yet.”

New Wastebusters GM By QMG

Wānaka’s Wastebusters is opening a new chapter with long-tenured zero waste inspiration Gina Dempster appointed new general manager. Current GM Tony Pfeiffer stood down last Wednesday, with his three-year contract coming to an end. “I am exceptionally pleased for Gina and for the wider organisation as I know that I am passing the baton to a person with the skills, knowledge and passion to take the business to even greater heights,” he says. Dempster has been an integral part of the senior management team since 2007. During her time as communications manager, she helped elevate Wastebusters as a locally and nationally-renowned leader and educator in the zero waste space. More recently, she has expanded her skill set across Wastebusters’ reuse and recycling operations in the role of Resource Recovery Manager. She’s also on the board of Lake Wānaka Tourism, a founding member of Plastic Free Wānaka, and a strategic communications advisor for the Zero Waste Network Aotearoa. “I’m really excited about stepping into the general manager role,” Dempster says.

In his time at Wastebusters, he and the leadership team successfully led the company through a multitude of challenges, including the Covid-19 pandemic where the organisation was able to keep paying all of their staff through extended lockdowns. “I’ll walk away with the knowledge that I’m leaving the business in a better position than it was, so that’s what I’m proud of. I was here to help guide the ship as general manager, that’s how I saw my role,” he says. Even though Pfeiffer is retiring, he will continue his work in the sustainability sector as a community representative with QLDC’s Climate Reference Group, as well as staying on as the chair of Challenge Wanaka. On top of that, he’s looking forward to spending time with his whānau, has a trip to Europe booked and has got the band back together. Wastebusters Board of Trustees chair Sally Battson says the board is very pleased to welcome Dempster as the next GM of Wastebusters Ltd. “Gina brings a wealth of experience from her years of work in the Wastebusters business, so we feel confident that her familiarity with our team, the council, and our range of business partners will help ensure a smooth transition into her new role,” Battson says. “She also has a national reputation in the zero waste sphere and her extensive networks across the motu will provide valuable connections and opportunities. She is strongly aligned to the Board’s strategic goals and we look forward to working with her.”

“Wastebusters was set up by our community 23 years ago and remains a wellloved treasure and environmental leader. I’m following in the giant footsteps of all the leaders who have taken Wastebusters to the nationally recognised zero waste hub that it is today. “As the GM of a community-owned social enterprise, I feel a lot of responsibility to do my best for Wastebusters, our community and our mission to lead the way to zero waste. I’m also really excited because there’s so many opportunities to move towards zero waste and make resources more circular. “At the heart of Wastebusters are the people, and we’ve got so many great people in the Reduce, Reuse and Recycle teams. I feel we’re in a great place to take Wastebusters to the next level as a circular economy hub which can help change the way we use resources.” Wastebusters officially welcomed Pfeiffer to the whānau at their 20th birthday party, and he fit right in with his sparkly red hat and wonderful party shoes.

Según la legislación neozelandesa, existe lo que se denomina la Property (Relationship) Act, que define cómo se dividen los bienes al finalizar una relación. Ésta establece igualdad entre ambos individuos que conforman una relación, reconociendo el aporte financiero y no financiero, así como cualquier ventaja o desventaja económica que una de las partes pudo haber experimentado como resultado de la relación. Los tipos de relaciones cubiertas por ley son Matrimonios y Uniones Civiles, y las denominadas relaciones De Facto, que incluye a parejas que “han vivido juntas” en una relación por al menos tres años, sin haberse casado o unido civilmente. Entender si tu relación es De Facto será clave para determinar tus derechos y obligaciones bajo la ley. Incluso si no han vivido físicamente juntos, la relación podría entrar en esta categoría. La Corte considerará una serie de factores para determinar su existencia, como la duración de la relación, el tiempo compartido en una vivienda, si han tenido relaciones sexuales, arreglos de propiedad y financieros y cuánto dependen uno del otro. También se toma en cuenta qué tan comprometidas ambas partes estaban para compartir una vida, quién realiza las tareas del hogar y si ambos individuos son reconocidos por familiares y amigos como pareja.

Legalmente, también se considera relación De Facto cuando se lleva menos de tres años, pero tienen hijos, o una de las partes ha contribuido sustancialmente a la relación y el término afectaría a la otra parte.

Todos los bienes que ambos posean, tangibles o intangibles, independientemente de cuándo se adquirieron (antes, durante o después del ﬁn de una relación), serán considerados. Usualmente, al término de una relación la Corte ordena que la propiedad de ambos sea dividida en partes iguales, pero existen excepciones en función de la contribución de ambos, dependiendo de cada caso.

Se considera propiedad en una relación la vivienda familiar, incluso si fue adquirida por una de las partes antes del comienzo de la relación; enseres como muebles, equipos y electrodomésticos, vehículos, etc; bienes en común o en co-propiedad; cualquier bien adquirido antes de la relación destinado al uso común; y todos los ingresos obtenidos y bienes comprados después del comienzo de la relación. Tener una conversación con tu pareja sobre cómo dividir los bienes en caso de que terminen, podría resultar incómodo y provocar inseguridades. No obstante, si bien las rupturas son difíciles, tener esta charla preventiva podría ser crucial antes de que surjan complicaciones. An English version of NUESTRA VOZ is available on lwb.co.nz

Plan for Covid-19 ‘fifth wave’ By QMG

Queenstowners are being given advice on how to stay well and support whānau as New Zealand moves through its fifth wave of Covid-19.

Tit bits FROM AROUND THE WORLD

Indian Workers Trapped Rescue efforts continue in India as 40 workers remain trapped in an underconstruction tunnel that partially collapsed last week in the mountainous Uttarakhand state. The workers are reportedly safe and receiving oxygen and water via a pipe. The workers are stranded about 150 meters into a large section of a nearly ﬁve kilometer highway tunnel. After failing to create an access route due to falling debris, rescuers have begun boring horizontally to insert a steel escape pipe measuring nearly 1 meter in diameter into the cavern, which the workers will be able to crawl out through. The tunnel is part of the Char Dham highway project, which has faced criticism and raised environmental concerns in the earthquake-prone Himalayan region. ABC

Dr Carol Atmore, Clinical Director of WellSouth Primary Health Network, says people who are older and or who have other health problems are most vulnerable to getting very sick from Covid. “Many of these people who catch Covid-19 are much more likely to become very unwell, or suffer from Long Covid,” she says. “We have seen increasing numbers of deaths in the last three weeks as a consequence of this.” She encourages people to think about the timing of this wave with the impending festival season where families, friends and work mates will be getting together. “Think about how you hold your end-of-year parties, so you don’t give your team Covid as a pre-Christmas present, and how to keep well and support loved ones during this time.” Atmore explains that if it is more than six months since your last booster or your last Covid infection, and you are on the list below, please think about getting a further Covid-19 booster vaccination to protect yourself and the community.

USWNT appoints Chelsea’s Emma Hayes as coach Chelsea women’s manager Emma Hayes has been confirmed as the new head coach of the United States women’s national team on a contract through 2027. U.S. Soccer said that Hayes will become the highest-paid women’s soccer coach in the world. One source confirmed that her salary will be “close if not equal” to that of U.S. men’s national team manager Gregg Berhalter, who makes $1.6 million. The confirmation comes after Chelsea announced this month that Hayes would leave the club at the end of the Women’s Super League (WSL) season. Hayes will officially begin her tenure as USWNT manager at the conclusion of Chelsea’s season in May. ESPN

Nord Stream Saboteur A high-ranking Ukrainian military ofﬁcer was responsible for the September 2022 Nord Stream pipeline sabotage, according to new media reports. Several nations have opened investigations into the attack, which reduced Europe’s oil supply ahead of last winter. Roman Chervinsky, a 48-year-old colonel with ties to the intelligence community, reportedly coordinated the six-person operation, though sources claim senior generals initiated the plot. The team reportedly rented a sailboat and used deep-sea diving equipment to lay bombs on the steel and concrete pipelines in the Baltic Sea. Chervinsky is currently jailed in Ukraine, awaiting trial for alleged abuse of power in a separate case. He denied involvement in the pipeline sabotage and claimed the allegations are Kyiv’s retribution for his past criticism of the administration. Sources also claim Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who has consistently denied Ukraine’s involvement, was intentionally kept out of the loop of the mission. France 24

More than 800 Sudanese reportedly killed in attack on Darfur town Fighters from a paramilitary force and their allied Arab militias rampaged through a town in Sudan’s war-ravaged region of Darfur, reportedly killing more than 800 people in a multiday attack, doctors and the U.N. said. The attack on Ardamata in West Darfur province earlier this month was the latest in a series of atrocities in Darfur that marked the monthslong war between the Sudanese military and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, RSF. Sudan has been engulfed in chaos since in mid-April, when simmering tensions between military chief Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan and the commander of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, Gen. Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo, exploded into open warfare. ABC

For people who are up to date with Covid-19 boosters, those who are most likely to benefit from another dose in late 2023 include: • Anyone aged 75 and older • Māori and Pacific people aged 65 and older • People aged 16 and older who are severely immunocompromised • People aged 30 to 74 with significant complex health needs that increase the risk of frailty (e.g. those living in residential care and those with long term medical conditions). IMAC factsheet with clinical guidance on additional COVID-19 boosters for late 2023 is now available from the WellSouth website. Boosters are especially recommended for: • All people over 65 years old • Māori and Pacific people aged 50 and over • Pregnant people with health conditions that put them at higher risk of severe illness from Covid-19 • People with disability with significant or complex health needs • People with serious mental health conditions • Young people aged 12 to 15 who have a medical condition that increases the risk of severe illness from COVID-19 (talk to your usual doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider about whether this is recommended and how to get a prescription). Dr Atmore reiterates what you can do to stay well, and to help your family, friends and neighbours who might not cope well if they catch Covid. • If you are feeling unwell, please stay at home • If you are visiting people in hospital or in rest homes, please wear a mask and don’t stay too long • If you are sick, please delay your visit • Think about your end of year party, and wearing a mask when you are indoors in crowded, poorly ventilated places.

Athletes selected for Winter Youth Olympic Games By Paul Taylor

Young Wānaka and Queenstown snowsports athletes have been selected for the Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympic Games. Reigning 2023 Snowboard Slopestyle Junior World Champion Lucia Georgalli leads the pack from Queenstown Lakes. The Wānaka 16-year-old will compete in the Snowboard Slopestyle and Big Air in South Korea. The Games will run January 19 - February 1 and will welcome almost 2000 young athletes (aged between 14 and 18 years old) from around the world to compete in 7 sports, 15 disciplines and 81 events.

The athletes could also compete in other events, if quotas allow. Snow Sports NZ CEO Nic Cavanagh says: “These athletes represent the future of our sport, and we wish them all the best as they continue to grow New Zealand’s reputation as a dominant force in the disciplines of freestyle skiing and snowboarding. “Following multiple podium success at this year’s FIS Junior World Championships, these athletes are ranked amongst the best age group athletes for their chosen disciplines. We look forward to them wearing the fern and representing New Zealand with pride when they compete in South Korea.” Cooper Breen (13, Freeski Halfpipe), Hamish Barlow (17, Freeski Slopestyle and Big Air), and Sylvia Trotter (16, Freeski Slopestyle and Big Air) have been named as reserves.

New Zealand is expected to be represented by around 20 athletes, with youngsters currently working towards selection in biathlon, curling, luge, ice figure skating and snow sports. “Finding out I was selected for the Youth Olympic Team made me feel really stoked,” she says. “I am excited to experience the Olympic village and meet other athletes from all around world. Winning Junior World Champs earlier this year was an important moment in my career and gives me a lot of confidence going into the Youth Olympic Games.” Joining her is Wānaka’s Campbell Melville Ives, 17, who’ll compete in the Snowboard Halfpipe and Te Anau’s Ava Beer, 15, who’s taking on the Snowboard Slopestyle and Big Air. Snowboarders from further afield on the team are Raglan’s Txema MazetBrown, 17, and Auckland’s Joshua Li, 13, both competing in the Snowboard Slopestyle and Big Air. Queenstown 15-year-old skier Madeleine Disbrowe will compete in Freeski Slopestyle and Big Air. She’s joining 2023 Junior World Championship Freeski Slopestyle bronze medallist Mischa Thomas, of Auckland, Lake Hawea’s Luke Harrold, 15, and Auckland’s Fergus McArthur, 17, in those comps. And Wānaka’s Finley Melville Ives, 17, and Aucklander Liam Richards, 15, will contest Freeski Halfpipe, while Wānaka’s Campbell Appel, 17, competes in the Freestyle Ski Cross.

DOC progressing on track reopening By Wānaka App

The Department of Conservation (DOC) says it is making progress on work needed to reopen the Blue Pools track. In May this year DOC said the track was closing temporarily because the Blue Pools bridge required upgrade work and the Makarora Bridge needed to be replaced. Now DOC says the construction work, and the eventual reopening, is getting closer. “Engineering works are in the final stages of completion before being put out to tender for Makarora and Blue Pools Bridges,” DOC said in a statement. It said the process had been held up after an initial investigation showed more information was required for geotechnical reporting. The Rob Roy bridge was also closed in May because it requires upgrade work, but track users will have a longer wait before they can access the Rob Roy Glacier Track. A DOC representative told the Wānaka App the upgrade of the Rob Roy bridge was a “long term project”. “You can get a good view of the glacier from the track to Aspiring Hut, which also starts at Raspberry Creek car park and is a 4-5 hour return, 9km and mostly flat,” they advised. Both the Blue Pools and Rob Roy Glacier walks are extremely popular. On average, around 550 people walk the 3km return Blue Pools track each day in January. Rob Roy Glacier Track, a more significant walk of 10km or around 3-4 hours, attracts around 180 people per day over summer. Blue Pools track. Photo: Dillon Hunt / Unsplash

DOC said it would provide another update on the status of the bridges in December.

Hunter’s mountain death was preventable - Coroner By RNZ

An extremely experienced hunter who died in Mount Aspiring National Park was negotiating steep terrain when he fell to 30 metres to his death. The coroner has ruled the man’s death was preventable, and recommended that trampers and hunters be aware of the inclination toward complacency. The coroner said that correct route selection is critical, as is the importance of stopping to assess the likelihood of a fall. Paul James Laurie, 61, was hunting with his friend James Short in the Kea Basin on Mt Earnslaw in January 2020. Coroner Ian Telford said both men were experienced hunters and trampers and had spent lots of time in the outdoors together. The pair were negotiating a steep section of terrain, which was exposed to a significant fall, when Laurie chose to take a less conservative route. The two separated, and Short heard some noises before discovering Laurie had fallen some 30 metres from the terrain he was navigating onto the rocks at the base of the waterfall below.

Emergency services were called and an air rescue team was initially unable to find Laurie until several hours later when he was examined by a paramedic and declared dead. A pathologist confirmed the cause of death was lethal trauma from a fall, with evidence showing Laurie would have almost certainly died on impact. A toxicology report noted the presence of cannabis in Laurie’s blood, citing the likely effects were “euphoria and relaxation, an impairment of perception and cognition, and loss of motor co-ordination”. Telford said the analysis did not show how much cannabis was in Laurie’s system or when it was ingested, so he could not determine if it contributed to Laurie’s death. However he said it was likely the use of cannabis played a contributory, if not a substantial role, in Laurie’s death by impairing his cognition. A Mountain Safety Council report into Laurie’s death, provided to the coroner, found that while he was an extremely experienced tramper and hunter and challenged himself in the outdoors, he was not known to be a risk-seeker. It found having this level of experience could sometimes subconsciously lead to a degree of complacency. It also said the terrain where Laurie fell provided “little to no opportunity to halt his fall” and it appeared he misperceived the risk associated with the terrain and continued to proceed. Meanwhile, Short chose to deviate onto more conservative terrain, reducing the chance of a high-consequence fall. The Mountain Safety Council and the coroner’s recommendations are as follows: • If you are experienced, be wary of the inherent human inclination toward complacency, underestimating risks, and over-estimating personal ability. • Correct route selection is critical, and an adaptable approach should be maintained in relation to dynamic terrain and circumstances. Critical to this approach is maintaining constant awareness of terrain traps, such as bluffs or cliffs below.

• Stop, think, assess, and talk with your fellow travellers about the options you have, and as you do this consider the likelihood of a fall and the consequences if you were to lose your footing. Avoid terrain traps or do as much as you can to manage the risk of them.
