Delaware dispute off to court SARA HOLLYMAN The battle over access to the Delaware Bay estuary is heading to the Environment Court with council seeking a declaration from the court.

Nelson City Council have lodged an application for the Environment Court to decide whether a resource consent is needed to drive over the estuary.

Group manager environmental management Clare Barton says vehicle and boat access across the beach at Delaware Bay has been the subject of ongoing discussion for many years.

In the Nelson Resource Management Plan, driving over a beach or estuary is not a permitted activity and therefor requires a resource consent.

“Whilst the council considers vehicle/boat access is not permitted, questions have been raised about the meaning of the provisions in the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP) regarding access across the beach area and out into Tasman Bay/Te Tai-o-Aorere,” Clare says.

“Accordingly, Council of-

ficers have lodged a declaration application with the Environment Court to ensure the meaning of the plan provisions is clear for all parties concerned.”

However, the site at Bishop’s Peninsula on Māori Pa Rd has been used by recreational boaties to launch and retrieve small vessels for decades, with no enforcement from council on the matter until 2020.

In fact, boaties say that council illegally removed the site as an official launching area when they updated the NRMP in 2001 and that it should be recognised as an official launch site, one that is much safer than nearby Cable Bay. In December 2021, a 1400-stong petition was presented to Parliament by Peter Ruffell on behalf of Delaware Bay Access Group to this affect, asking that the Delaware Bay Estuary boat launch be reinstated.

Peter says the group are disappointed that council are taking the issue to the Environment Court.

Arts festival is back with a bang KATE RUSSELL The Nelson Arts Festival is back in action this year, and this year attendees are being told to pay what they can.

The previous two festivals have been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic and this year’s event will not feature the much-loved masked parade because of concerns around spreading the virus. But there will be plenty for art lovers to sink their teeth into With 58 events over 11 days, more than 200 artists will be taking part in the 28th Nelson Arts Festival from 20 - 30 October.

Exhibitions, performances, workshops, whispers in the streets, par-

ties, words, discussions, rituals, residencies, and unforgettable experiences will take over halls, theatres, galleries, heritage sites, Kōhanga Reo, a boxing gym, and digital platforms across Whakatū.

Acts include the popular Night Vision, which will open the festival as well as Australian physical theatre company Legs On The Wall - who will deliver the Aotearoa premiere of their death-defying new work THAW. This will see dancers struggling for balance on 2.7 tonnes of ice as it dangles high above the harbour.

Other events include Don McGlashan, Rita Angus, Keri Hulme, Kim Hill, Hinemoa Elder and a new

poetry slam event at Victory Boxing.

Instead of the usual Mask Parade Carnivale, mask displays will be shown around the central city and there will be public crafting workshops.

This year the festival is offering a ‘pay what you can’ ticketing model across all events, a first for a major arts festival in Aotearoa.

There will be a recommended ticket price, as well as a range of other prices for people for whom price is a barrier and those wanting to support others to engage with the festival.

He says the process has been “frustrating”.

“Once we’ve been officially notified of the application, we will have a meeting to decide our next steps,” Peter says.

The application will be seeking a declaration that driving on the beach is not a permitted activity under Rule CMr.33 of the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP), and therefore, the activity requires resource consent.

Motel owner ‘devastated’ after 50% rate increase MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson moteliers feel “blindsided” after receiving significant increases in their commercial rates.

Greens Motel owner Phil Neal said he was “devastated” after seeing his commercial rates increase by 52.44 per cent.

Neal paid about $13,500 in commercial rates last year.

That figure has increased to over $20,600.

“I can’t understand where they [council] come from… it just doesn’t seem fair.”

Nelson City Council sets rates based solely on the latest land valuation figures.

Revaluations must occur every three years and Quotable Value (QV) revaluated Nelson’s properties in 2021 which saw commercial land value increase by 31 per cent.

“The majority of value increases has stemmed from pressure on land with Nelson’s geography making it difficult to develop land at scale,” QV Nelson/Marlborough manager Craig Russell said.

The updated valuations were posted to property owners who had a right to object before 10 March 2022, but many accommodation businesses lease their land.

34 per cent of commercial ratepayers saw increases great-

er than the 5.4 per cent average while 11.3 per cent had an increase of less than the average. 54.7 per cent of commercial ratepayers saw their rates decrease.

Motels tend to occupy larger lots which means a greater than average increase in land value and therefore greater rates increases.

“We feel blindsided, we feel like the council has hit us hard,” said Stacie Warren from Century Park Motor Lodge. “I don’t know where the money’s meant to come from.”

Fishing boats left short-staffed ANDREW BOARD A lack of people is having a big impact on the region’s fishing industry, as well as adding pressure to those who can head out on the boats.

The combination of low unemployment, Covid-19 and other winter sickness has seen fishing boats head out to sea without the full number of workers on board.

Ken Jobe, skipper on a Sanford fishing vessel, says he would usually have 42 people on his boat, his last sailing had 33 and the one before that, just 31.

That makes it harder to catch the required tonnage of fish and means qualified staff are left to do some of the work that junior staff would usually do, he says.

At Sealord they’ve had fishermen turn up to the docks ready to go but have then tested positive for Covid-19, meaning they’ve had to stay behind, leaving their crew short or bosses trying to find people at the last minute.

Others are being asked to do

back-to-back six-week sailings to help fill boats, which sees them home with their families for just a few days in between trips.

Sealord CEO Doug Paulin, says the lack of fishermen is having a significant impact on the number of fish they’re able to catch and process.

He says it’s not just on the boats but also onshore positions that they’re struggling to fill with the Sealord factory down 180 staff.

Ken says he’s been working on fishing boats for 20 years and he’s seen a significant change in the culture of new people coming in.

“When I started it was hard to get onto a boat, you kind of had to know someone to get a spot, but it’s a real struggle at the moment,” he says.

“It’s the worst I’ve ever seen it, definitely. Usually you have the odd dry patch but we’ll always get people that come in and give it a go for a few trips.”

He says the money for fishing is good, as is the time off when you’re home.

Sanford skipper Ken Jobe says fishing boats in the region are short-staffed and it’s the worst he’s seen it in his two decades in the industry. Photo: Toby Harvey.

“The lifestyle is what got me into it. You go to sea, you do your time, you come home and you can do what you want, go to a

café for breakfast, go shopping, renovate your house. At sea, the camaraderie is really good, you make really strong life-long

friends. As well as seeing whales and dolphins and other sea life.

“It’s a great career for motivated people.”

Firefighters to strike SARA HOLLYMAN

Māori ward candidates privileged to stand MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

The upcoming local election will be different to past Nelson polls with the adoption of the single transferrable vote (STV) ranked choice voting system and the new wards which now cover the region.

The establishment of one of these wards, the Māori ward, is being heralded by those standing in it for election as hugely significant.

“It’s an opportunity that can’t be overlooked,” says election hopeful Kahu Paki Paki. “It’s really put us in a great position to finally have a seat at the table.”

Kahu believes the ward isn’t just an electorate but also a commitment made by Nelson City Council to Māori.

“This represents ngā iwi e waru, the iwi of the Top of the

South, and it’s a formal recognition from council that they really want to participate in that partnership.”

Kahu says that Māori have been underrepresented in the council for many years.

“It should have been a done a long time ago,” he said. “It will allow that voice to be heard.”

However, Kahu believes that position will also highlight Māori talent and competence that may have been overlooked in the past.

“Because of the nature of the position, it will allow a level of influence and demonstration to the wider community… that, within the Māori community, we have talent here that we can contribute and that we are competent and capable.”

Bernie Goldsmith, who will be running against Kahu in the ward, says she is privileged

and honoured to stand for the role. “The Māori ward brings the hope and aspirations of those who identify as Māori on the Māori roll to the decision-making table of our community.”

She encouraged everyone registered in the ward to make sure they vote in the upcoming election.

“The Māori ward is your voice at the table – use it.”

Nelson City Council voted to establish the Māori ward on 13 May 2021. The city previously attempted to establish a Māori ward in 2012, however this measure was voted down by the public after 5 per cent of local electors requested a binding poll on the subject.

Organisers from Teens Against TERFs (trans-exclusionary radical feminist) and Q Youth say they had just hours to prepare a protest on Friday opposing the running of a Child & Adolescent Therapists Association (CATA) conference, which they say promotes “blatant transphobia”. An earlier petition asking for the conference to be moved from its original venue garnered almost 7000 signatures, with the conference moving to an undisclosed location and livestreaming online.

Stressed out, over worked firefighters have escalated their pay dispute and will strike for two one-hour stints over the coming weeks.

It’s the first time there’s been a national firefighters strike in New Zealand, where they’ll be refusing to respond when that fire alarm rings.

Career firefighters have been offered a base salary pay increase of between eight and 19 per cent over the next two years according to Fire and Emergency deputy national commander Brendan Nally, but he says that the New Zealand Professional Firefighters’ Union is seeking total increases across both pay and allowances of more than 40 per cent for most firefighters.

“After over 13 months of negotiations, involving 29 days of bargaining and three days of mediation, the union has not significantly moved from its original position,” he says.

Back in May, almost all union members rejected FENZ’s pay offer, which would have seen the average staffer get an increase of between 1.5 and two per cent, after they hadn’t had a pay rise since July 2020.

All union members will withdraw from labour for an hour between 11am and 12pm on Friday 19 August and Friday 26 August. The full strikes come as both parties are set to be back in mediation this week.

Staff at the Nelson station will be part of the strike action, being the only station in the Top of the South with

However, the strike will also include all 111 fire communications centres.

Brendan says it is disappointing the NZPFU has given notice of escalated strike action, despite the substantial new pay offer.

“Fire and Emergency has demonstrated it is fully committed to trying to reach a settlement with the union.

“During the one-hour full strikes we will continue to respond to emergencies... response may be with fewer firefighters than usual, and response may be delayed.”

Healing power of horses used for retreat JENNY NICHOLSON Dawn Marron knows the struggles that women can face and she also knows the healing power of horses.

Having recovered from an eating disorder herself she has spent 20 years counselling other women and girls facing issues with food and body image. Now, with Joanne Ragg she has opened a retreat in Wakapuaka that will use time with horses to promote healing in their clients. It’s a longtime dream of Dawn’s to have a place of safety and rest for women and girls who have faced trauma and eating disorders.

She says eating disorders never go away.

“In trauma that voice says, ‘I’m not safe’. It’s invasive and constantly saying you are not safe in the world.”

Dawn says a safe environment without risk is needed and that’s where the retreat comes in. She and Joanne hope to create a space where that can happen.

After shifting to Nelson from the North Island, Dawn had no access to horses. She did have a goat, chickens, cats, and dogs.

A client visiting her home and spending time with the pets said,

That gave Dawn the impetus to find horses for the girl to spend time with. Contacting Joanne, she found they only lived five minutes apart and have now been working together for about three years.

“I noticed the house next door to where we do equine therapy and

said to Jo wouldn’t it be amazing to buy it and develop it into a retreat.”

Joanne agreed and three or four weeks later the house became available.

“It was part of an estate, and the family are not ready to put it on the market yet but say it’s fantastic that it will be used to help people.

They offered it to us to rent for six

months and then to possibly buy it after that.”

Everything came together quickly, with Dawn taking possession of the keys last week. As yet there is no money in their charitable trust, RecovHer, but they have investors in the North Island showing interest in helping with the purchase of the property.

Dawn is clear the retreat is not a

treatment centre.

“I’m a counsellor and recovery coach, not a doctor,” she says.

“Women have to be at a certain level of wellness to come or have a family member to support them.”

She will offer counselling and equine therapy to those at the retreat.

The stay can be as short as a weekend, or for up to two weeks.

The lack of help available in New Zealand for women and girls with eating disorders horrifies Dawn.

“For a long time in New Zealand people with eating disorders have been told they will never recover and will have to manage their illness for life,” Dawn says. “That is not true. You can totally recover.”

New Zealand has only 16 beds for people with eating disorders.

When people are very sick, they may be admitted to hospital, but when they have reached their goal weight they are discharged.

“They are not better. They have reached a certain weight, but their thinking and behaviour haven’t changed so the cycle will repeat.”

She says there are many ways to approach healing, and the medical profession has limited tools unless they choose to pursue training in other areas.

Donation bolsters foodbank SARA HOLLYMAN A local lioness club has reached into its own pockets to help people in need.

Lions Club of Nelson Lioness president, Jillian Jary, says the group of ladies will make a donation to the Salvation Army each month for three months with all the food based on what’s needed in winter.

The first donation of three boxes of food was handed over late last month.

“It’s quite a variety, we’ve got

breakfast foods, pantry staples, as well as lemons, limes and apples.”

She says the idea was spurred on with the last year with Covid and the foodbanks all saying their needs have been drawn on so much more than they normally would’ve.

“We got talking and then someone brought up the foodbanks and we thought rather than donating them cash from our kitty, we decided we would all bring some food out of our own pockets to help.”

Salvation Army’s Ros Johnson says it’s really important to have a constant flow of food products to hand on to people in need in the community.

“It’s always going to be there, theres are certainly fluctuations, we know at winter there are increased costs with heating so people struggle to find ways to use their money wisely.” She says donations are always welcome.

“The best thing to think of is what would you want in your weekly shop?”

Ernest Rutherford statue recovered Police have chased a man into a flooded river and arrested him in relation to the theft of the Lord Ernest Rutherford statue in Brightwater of Friday.

Wakefield officer constable Jamie White took action after the man jumped into the flooded Wai-iti River to evade arrest, which has seen the statue recovered. Police arrested and charged the 35-year-old man in relation to the theft.

He has been charged with theft and wilful damage and appeared briefly in the Nelson District Court on Monday via audio visual link.

A Police spokesperson says the statue was recovered and it was taken back to its rightful place at the memorial site on Monday “The memorial honours his legacy and is frequented by both locals and tourists alike, so to see the memorial

damaged in such a senseless way was extremely upsetting for Police and the Brightwater community,” says the spokesperson.

“We were disappointed to see that his memorial was treated in such a way. Constable White took direct action to apprehend the man after he jumped into the flooding Wai-iti River to evade arrest. Neither party were injured.”

50 years of music for Miles and Margarita KATE RUSSELL When you ask Miles and Margarita Jackson the secret to their enduring marriage, they will tell you one thing. Music.

“Music has been the glue in our marriage,” says Margarita.

The duo celebrated 50 years of playing music together on Sunday with a concert at the Nelson Centre for Musical Arts.

Since meeting all those years ago at Te Henga on Auckland’s west coast, the husband-and-wife duo of classical guitar and violin have created a unique repertoire of musical styles drawing on folk, gypsy, Latin, jazz, and classical genres.

They pioneered the House Concert in New Zealand, performed on television and radio, and made

parents. They moved to Nelson in 1981, where they found a job playing at Chez Eelco on Sunday nights.

“We have also been involved with the NCMA since 1981. We’ve both been teaching there for over 40 years, so a lot of students have passed through our lives. We’re incredibly lucky to have it here in Nelson,” says Margarita.

Their daughter Fleur is continuing the family tradition as a gifted violinist and their last few tours have included her, as a trio.

She says Sunday’s concert was “incredibly special”.

“I think about half the audience was in tears. There was a standing ovation and some lovely presentations and words from friends and people in the community.”

many recordings.

They have given concerts in Spain, Italy, England, France, Singapore, New Caledonia, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Australia, and New Zealand and have performed in concert halls, prisons, embassies, universities, fashion parades, schools, jungles, mansions, on the beach, and the street.

Margarita says their musical bond was instant when they first jammed together.

“We knew Sounds of Silence (Simon and Garfunkel) so played that and the connection was huge,” she says. “When you play music with someone, you’re talking to them, it’s an abstract language. We’ve grown a lot through our music.”

Human Rights Commission accept complaint of council culture A Nelson City councillor has had a complaint over poor treatment at the hands of council leadership accepted by the Human Rights Commission.

Councillor Rachel Sanson lodged the complaint with the Human Rights Commission after what she describes as ongoing and targeted discrimination throughout

her term on council.

“The council culture has not been great for much of this term, I requested mediation back in 2020 and that was refused, I’ve sought advice from lots of different organisations and requesting mediation was the recommended option.”

Council will this week hear the

Code of Conduct complaint laid against councillor Sanson in October 2021 by council’s outgoing chief executive Pat Dougherty.

Rachel says the complaint relates to questions she asked in public meetings and three Facebook posts, from September 2020 to October 2021. Seven of these relate to Sanson’s advocacy regard-

ing the council’s own forestry operations in public reserves and water catchments.

“There are other elected members around the table that are maybe more outspoken and make more confronting posts on Facebook, and yet, it’s only me that’s getting targeted in this way.

“Mediation is now recommended

by the Human Rights Commission, but a lot of time, money and heartache could have been saved if this had happened months ago when I requested it.”

However, council’s chief executive Pat Dougherty says council does not believe the complaint is appropriate for mediation and has written to the commission.

Only four candidates approved just days from local election cut-off MAX FRETHEY

Nomination forms can be found on the council website at nelson.govt.nz by clicking on the ‘local elections’ tile.

Nominations for the 2022 local election close Candidates need to be nominated by two peoon Friday but, as of Monday evening, the offi- ple on the Nelson-Whakatū electoral roll and cial list of candidates for Nelson City Council pay a $200 deposit. Forms must be submitted only has four names. by midday Friday 12 August.

Governance and support services manager, Devorah Nícuarta-Smith said it is common for people to wait to the last minute to get their form in but that this approach can sometimes backfire.

“Friday’s midday deadline is a strict one,” she said.

“I’ve seen forms come in on the last day, where a mistake has been made, and there isn’t enough time to rectify it.”

There are 13 positions up for grabs: four Central ward councillors, four Stoke-Tāhunanui ward councillors, one Whakatū Māori ward councillor, three councillors elected at-large, and the mayoralty.

“We have had plenty of people announce their interest and want to make sure everyone who wants to run for council has the opportunity to do so,” said Nícuarta-Smith.

Former Nelson councillor Kerry Neal is the only person who has announced their intention to run for the mayoralty to have had their nomination approved.

“I think generally people are too busy trying to survive right now to be interested in [local council],” Neal said. “A lot of them will have trouble getting enough money to finance their campaign.”

Geologist Aaron Stallard, who is standing for a councillor position in the Central ward, said a “problematic” council culture could be putting off people running rather than financial limits.

“It’s well known that there have been problems in council this term.”

But he’s still expecting to see more names come forward in the next few days.

“I’m sure we’ll see a rush in the coming week,” Stallard said.

“I’m encouraging people to stand.”

The two other approved candidates are Mel Courtney standing for the Stoke-Tāhunanui ward and Margot Haley standing for council at-large.

Four other nomination forms are currently being processed by council and haven’t been formally approved.

Frozen Jr sells tickets before rehearsals start KATE RUSSELL Rehearsals are yet to commence but Nelson Youth Theatre has already sold 80 tickets to their upcoming October performance of Frozen Jr. They also had the biggest ever turnout to an audition in 23 years.

“The interest is huge,” says Richard Carruthers from the theatre company.

“Overall, we had 170 kids sign up to audition for Frozen Jr or The Jungle Book [their other

October production], and it was a mammoth task choosing who would play all the roles.

“There’s always a bit of juggling around that goes on in the first couple of weeks after auditions but it looks like we will be working with a cast of around 120 for Frozen Jr and 50 for The Jungle Book.”

Richard says the tickets they have sold are general public sales, not family.

“This is something that has never happened before. Normally, our first sales start to dribble in

about five weeks into rehearsal.

Some of my production team are laying bets that Frozen Jr will have sold out a month before, or two weeks before, opening night.”

Frozen Jr will run at the Theatre Royal from 5 - 8 October.

“It is a sensational show that will sweep the audience away to Arandelle and into the magical conflict between sisters Anna and Elsa, as they try to find a way to survive Elsa’s ice-cold powers.”

Art show comes to Greenmeadows KATE RUSSELL Putangitangi Greenmeadows Centre will be transformed into an art gallery this weekend for Art Group Nelson’s annual winter exhibition.

Around 40 members will be selling their original work, including long-time member Gary Gibbens and new member Francesca Marmi.

Gary has been part of the group for nearly 50 years.

“I am probably the oldest member of the group, I joined back in the late 1970s,” he says.

Gary’s traditional landscape paintings, inspired by the mountains and valleys of New Zealand, are widely known.

“I have paintings hanging in Britain, America, and Holland.”

Francesca joined the group around one year ago.

The painter and photographer says she has enjoyed connecting with other local artists in the group.

Most of her work is inspired

by New Zealand nature, in-

cluding native birds, and she uses acrylic and water-based ink and charcoal.

“I really enjoy sharing my art with other people and there is always something to learn

Trade and Tourism

Last week the Nelson Regional Development Agency (NRDA), alongside the Chamber of Commerce, local Iwi and our Mayors, welcomed Minister Jo Palmer from the Tasmanian Government to Nelson. Minister Palmer visited Nelson as part of their Trade Mission to build relationships, collaboration and increase awareness with key partners. They brought a contingency of delegates including Business Leaders from the Food and Beverage, Science and Technology and Tourism sectors. During their visit a new shipping route between Nelson and Tasmania was announced that will help address supply chain issues for our local exporters. I enjoyed meeting Minister Palmer and her team at an event last Wednesday and hosting them for breakfast the following day alongside our Mayors.

This week I’m hosting Tourism, Small Business, Forestry and Economic Development Minister Stuart Nash in Nelson. He is here to speak at the Tourism Export Council Conference, and will meet with Nelson small business owners during his visit.

Coming up on Thursday 18 August, I’m holding a pizza and politics event for young people, alongside my Youth MP Will Irvine. I invite young people from around the region to join me at 6pm at the Pūtangitangi Greenmeadows Centre.

from the other members everyone is different.”

Art Group Nelson president Karen Loten says the group had its beginnings in 1971 in Nelson, starting with a small number of independent artists.

“We now have over 100 members and meet monthly.”

The winter exhibition runs on both Saturday and Sunday this weekend (13 and 14 August) from 10am to 4pm.

On show will be original artwork of a wide variety including colourful pottery, work in oils, watercolour, and mixed medium.

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of their Art in the Park exhibition at Queens Gardens, on 14 January.

You can also check out work from Art Group Nelson members at the pop-up art shop opposite Fresh Choice in Richmond Mall.

Opinion

Wednesday 10 August 2022

Opinion Outright Disbelief

I read the claims of Matt Lawrey’s advertisement in outright disbelief. His sole focus appears to rest ONLY on matters lying within council itself. His ad mentioned nothing of the central and pressing issues OUTSIDE THE COUNCIL BUILDING that Nelson simply has to face. Lawrey declared: “the culture around our Council table isn’t as good as it should be,” which is outright laughable to anyone aware that full responsibility for that “culture” and its disruption to council business lies with he and his council cronies, Sanson, Fulton, O’Neil-Stevens and Rainey. Appropriately, both Lawrey and Sanson were removed from council committee chairmanships.

Quite oddly, Lawrey’s ad spelled out nothing of his policies, notably failing to state that he fully supports 3-Waters for Nelson.

When questioned about it he’s tried to pretend otherwise, but his actual position is undeniable.

Equally weirdly, in these straightened times and the financial burden on individual ratepayers, he’s in favour of committing $50-odd million for a new library.

With the dire times we now face

ahead, any Lawrey mayoralty would be disastrous for Nelson.

Jim Cable Councillor Matt Lawrey responds:

I recently ran into a self-described “centre right” voter who said he had disagreed with me on a number of issues over the years but that he read the same advertisement that has upset Jim Cable, and he wholeheartedly agreed with it. For anyone who missed it, the ad was entitled ‘Time for a reset at NCC’ and it explained how, if elected Mayor, I propose to improve the culture at Council. This fellow that I bumped into went on to say how sick he was of the Left vs Right war and how he thought the strategy that I am proposing made sense. I suspect the rage, that for so long has been a hallmark of Jim’s letters, is a good example of the kind of warfare that guy is sick of.

Of course, the ad that has left Jim in “outright disbelief ” was just one of many that will run between now and Election Day, addressing the challenges we face and how I think we should tackle them. As far as Three Waters goes, if I actually got to vote on the cur-

Have your say: sara@topsouthmedia.co.nz facebook.com/nelsonweekly rent 3 Waters model, I would vote against it. This is mainly because I object to Nelson-Whakatu being included in an entity with North Island cities and because, like LGNZ, I think stormwater should not be included. It’s important to note that the reforms are taking place whether Nelson City Council likes it or not. As far as the library is concerned, like the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce and the majority of my Council colleagues, I am in favour of civic investment to stop us falling behind other towns and cities and I think a new library should be part of that investment.

Holiday accommodation providers – it’s time to check if you need resource or building consent

Over six thousand Nelsonians came to Rutherford Park and the Trafalgar Centre for the Matariki Festival 2022.

Matariki Festival koha donated to humanitarian aid in Ukraine At the 2022 Matariki Festival, over 6,000 Nelsonians came to celebrate Matariki and $3,651.80 was raised in koha for the NZ Red Cross Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal, and Nelson Tasman Stand with Ukraine.

The Nelson Tasman Stand with Ukraine community group gives 100% of donations to charities on the ground in Ukraine. Currently, they support three charities with a Nelson connection: one helps displaced people, including children; the second provides food, including cooking hot meals; and the third looks at medical supplies for paramedics on the frontline.

Nelson Tasman Stand with Ukraine is sincerely grateful to the people of Nelson for their support of Ukraine during this difficult time.

“People in Ukraine convey their gratitude for this support from the other side of the world. Your donations reach exactly those who need them,” says Dmytro Romanenko, a member of Nelson Tasman Stand with Ukraine.

Nelson City Council Kaihautū Manager Māori Partnerships Pania

Lee says recognising and supporting social issues impacting different cultural communities who live in Whakatū has always been a part of the kaupapa for Nelson’s Matariki Festival.

“Matariki is a time to gather with friends and family to reflect on the past, share kai and hope for the future. Supporting our friends and connections, near and far, is an important part of what our Nelson celebration achieves through the market stalls, performances, and the koha,” says Lee.

Nelson City Council invites holiday accommodation providers in the residential zone to check their activity meets planning and building requirements.

This ensures both the safety of the occupants and minimises impact on neighbours.

Planning rules under the Nelson Resource Management Plan (NRMP) allow for homeowners to offer accommodation as short-term rental without resource consent provided that owners: • live at the property for at least one month of the year and refer to the property as their home address, and • the property has capacity to accommodate only four travellers at any one time.

However, resource and building consents may be required if the rental facilities are self-contained or the above permitted standards are not met.

Quick guide – do you need resource consent to provide holiday accommodation?

Does someone live there as their permanent address for a month or more each year?

YES

Is the space capable of accommodating more than four travellers?

NO

YES

NO

Resource consent required

Resource consent not required

What happens if holiday accommodation providers don’t get consent?

If you provide holiday accommodation without a current resource consent (or building consent if applicable), and do not meet the consent exemption requirements, Council will follow up and work through next steps with you.

To find out more, go to: nelson.govt. nz/holiday-accommodation-resourceconsents.

To get help on whether your holiday accommodation requires consent and how to apply, please phone 03 546 0200 to make an appointment with either the duty planner or duty building officer.

Final call for nominations for the local election Nominations to stand for election close this Friday 12 August at 12pm, sharp.

A purchase for a peoplefocused future Nelson City Council has purchased the bus depot on Bridge Street with a view to turning it into a potential destination for a City Centre playground or housing.

Strategically placed in the Bridge Street Active Transport Corridor, proposed in Te Ara ō Whakatū – Nelson’s City Centre Spatial Plan, buses will still run from the site until an alternative is found.

Elected members agreed to the proposal to purchase the site from SBL Group in May 2022. Council purchased the property for $2,925,000, a price determined by an independent market valuation, and takes ownership on 1 July 2023.

Strategic property and development subcommittee chair Gaile Noonan said it was the ideal time to make the purchase as it fits with so many of Council’s goals for the city centre. “What we build there is still to be decided, but a city centre playground is the lead option.”

Nelson City Council directed to fluoridate water Director-General of Health Dr Ashley Bloomfield has made a direction under the Health Act (section 116E) to the Nelson City Council to add fluoride to the Nelson water supply.

Nelson City Council intends to adhere to this directive.

In accordance with the Act, Nelson City Council is required to ensure the Nelson supply is fluoridating at the optimal levels by 30 April 2024. The estimated capital cost of introducing fluoridation for the Nelson drinking water is $750,000. Nelson City Council will be applying to Manatū Hauora (the Ministry of Health) for funding to cover this capital cost.

To read more about water fluoridation and the direction letter to Nelson please go to:

Remission of rates for maintaining heritage buildings Applications are open until 31 August 2022 for a remission of rates for heritage maintenance.

Nelson City Council offers rates remissions to encourage the retention and maintenance of Group A or B listed heritage buildings. This recognises the higher costs of looking after a heritage building.

Information has been sent out to eligible property owners.

This is the second year of a three-year cycle, so successful applicants who applied last year do not need to reapply.

To apply, visit nelson.govt.nz and search ‘heritage rates remissions’. Contact Sarah Newman-Watt, Team Leader Arts & Heritage on 03 265 6223 for further information or assistance.

NELSON TRAINING CENTRE Positive learning environment nurtures talented students From humble beginnings at Melrose House in 1987, Nelson Training Centre has been inspiring learners for over thirty years with their all-inclusive approach to providing foundation level of skills and proficiency in the hospitality industry. Started Dave Agnew, Nelson Training Centre is now based at 138 Hardy Street, off Crisps Lane, and forms part of the YMCA Nelson organisation continuing to provide a learning platform for the region’s youth.

Team leader and educator, Chris Duke, has been involved for almost ten years and his passion for the centre shines through.

“The highlight of our role, for me, is the change we see in our learners. Many come to us with negative experiences of education and to see them attain basic work skills, make friends and grow in confidence is special to see.” front-of-house tutor Mandy Preston has been working in Hospitality for over 30 years. “Aside from being an exceptional barista and educator Mandy is a 4th dan karate black belt,” says Chris. “and an amazing artist who has also won awards in the World of Wearable Arts.

Our chef tutor Jasper Prestidge is one of Nelson’s most sought-after and talented chefs. He has worked at some of our best restaurants, including Parts & Services and Urban. Jasper has almost 20 years of experience, having left school at the age of 15 and discovering his passion for food and hospitality.”

Originally providing skills to

The team at Nelson Training Centre showcase their talents and cook up a storm every Thursday for the public. Photo: Amy Russ the unemployed, Nelson Training Centre has evolved over the years into a Youth Training Facility offering The New Zealand Certificate in Hospitality (Level 2), and also NCEA Level 2. “Students aged 16 to 19 are eligible, but we have numerous 15-yearolds attending with exemptions from the Ministry of Education.”

A provider of training to the hospitality industry, the team offer free training courses to those who meet the entry requirements, and a pathway to hospitalitybased employment opportunities.

Together with talented front-ofhouse tutor, Mandy Preston, and Chef tutor, Jasper Prestidge, Chris says the secret to the centre’s success is the small class sizes. “These allow us a whanau environment, where we can really get to know and support each other.” Seeing substantial growth at the centre, Chris says their range of students has always been diverse, with learners from all cultures.

“Over the last few years, we have become a safe space for members of the LGBT+ community.

We have built some great rela-

tionships with other community organisations such as Te Piki Oranga who visit fortnightly, NMIT who offer pathways into higher learning, and Workbridge who can assist graduates into employment, who also play a part in supporting our young people.

Our hope for the future is that we continue to be providers of training for the hospitality industry and workforce in general and keep our teenagers off the couch!”

“We have heard a lot in the news recently about poor attendance at high schools. What may come as a

surprise to some is New Zealand’s ongoing issue with NEETs. Approximately 12% of 15–24-yearolds in New Zealand are NEETs, which means ‘Not in Education, Employment or Training’. So that’s more than 1 in 10 young people just sitting on the couch! If you are out and about in Nelson, you are bound to come across a former NTC student. Pomeroy’s, The Yaza Café, Guytons, Hopgoods, Urban, the Airport and Devilles, just to name a few! NTC provides learners living outside the Nelson CBD area with travel assistance, in the form of bus cards.

We also receive food parcels from Kai Rescue, which students use for snacks and lunch, food to take home and training purposes.”

Nelson Training Centre offer a public cafe service on Thursdays and a free, formal luncheon for invited guests Fridays.

“Our cafe meals are as cheap as they are delicious, with the aim not being to make a profit, but to provide our learners with an authentic experience of working in a high-pressured, busy environment. On Fridays we take it up a notch, with learners serving table d’hote to invited guests, such as voluntary groups and community organisations.”

The generously-proportioned meals are only $6, with drinks and sweet treats only $3.

NEW PLUMBER READY FOR ANYTHING

N

ew business owner/operator, Todd Russell, is thrilled to be able to offer his plumbing services to the Nelson Tasman region.

Todd has lived in Nelson for most of his life, with a stint across the ditch, and was looking for a wide variety of plumbing work. He loves being in the industry so setting up his own local business felt right.

Now, eight years later and a fully qualified and licenced plumber, his business Russell’s Plumbing Nelson is up and running and Todd is eager to get the word out.

Family man Todd, and his wife of eighteen years, Natalie, run their business together.

With the site conveniently located in Annesbrook, between Nelson and Richmond, Natalie says she keeps the office ‘clean and tidy while Todd is out there getting his hands dirty.’

Specialising in all home plumbing services - renovations jobs, plumbing maintenance, solar heating, pumps, hot water cylinders and locating and repairing leaks, Todd says there is nothing he is not ready to tackle.

“No job is too big or too small for me to do. From repairs in older dwellings to installations in new home builds, I love the challenges and the problem-solving that the job entails.

NEW OWNERS AT NIGHT ’N DAY TAHUNANUI

N

ew Night ’n Day Tahunanui owners, Adrian and Cyrielle Olsson, have a passion for the hospitality industry that spans a lifetime. The experienced travellers fell in love with the region after visiting a few years ago and the opportunity to get involved with the local business almost seemed too good to be true for the hardworking couple. “I grew up in the industry as my parents owned the Night ’n Day Winton when I was young,” says Adrian. “Also, we wanted to move to New Zealand as I brought Cyrielle over for Xmas in 2019 and she completely fell in love with the Nelson area. I lived here in my early 20’s and have always wanted to move back permanently.”

Hailing from Lyon, France, Cyrielle is a chef by trade and kiwi-born Adrian has spent many years in hospitality. “Cyrielle has always wanted to get back into hospitality, and to own a little mini supermarket, so when this opportunity came up we just

couldn’t pass it up. As for me, it feels like I’ve come a full circle being brought up in one and now owning my own, it really feels like I’ve come home and I couldn’t be happier. I have also always loved the hard and fast paced hospitality industry and have missed it ever since I left and went to construction, so couldn’t be happier to return to it.”

Taking over the business in early June, the couple say they have been blown away by the support they have received. “We chose Nelson to live because it has that small town community feel to it. Ever since we have moved here and taken over the shop the local community has been super supportive of us as the new owners, and they have been really patient when we were still finding our feet, and we really appreciate that. We feel really welcome in the neighbourhood.”

THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF FOUNDERS CAFÉ

F

ounders Café, first established as a licensed café in 2013, seems a likely candidate for one of the region’s best kept secrets. Purchased by Amie-Jo Trayes in 2020, lockdowns and levels were not what the team had anticipated when they first went into the business, but Amie-Jo says things are starting to look up. “We bought at probably the worst time ever, but if anything, Covid has taught us to be flexible and learn how to adapt. I have always loved the family atmosphere of Founders and everything it has to offer, so when the opportunity came up it seemed perfect!”

Counting herself lucky to have been able to keep most of her staff on board, two years in and Amie-Jo remains optimistic about the future saying the tide is beginning to turn. “Things are picking up again slowly. We are excited for summer and starting to feel a little more confident within ourselves so have decided to launch a new menu to get things kicked off.” The team will still run their daily and seasonal specials, but they have also

listened to their patrons, says Amie-Jo, and are excited to introduce loads of mouthwatering dishes including the Founders Breakfast Feast, and the Big Garden Breakfast, the Chicken and Bacon Waffle Stack, and their Brioche French Toast with banana and maple syrup topped off with berry compote and crème fraiche.

Afternoon classics include Beef and Bacon Burger, Pulled Pork Nachoes and delicious Loaded Wedges. Not one to sit on her laurels, and no stranger to the hospitality industry, Amie-Jo says the team are prolific with their catering options and even host open mic nights, dances, quiz nights, live music events and private venue hire at the licensed café. Entry to Founders Café is free via Founders Park accessway. For more information follow the social media pages and website: www.founderscafe.co.nz nelson.founders.cafe@gmail.com

Watersorter Ltd Local owner/operators of Watersorter Ltd, Mike and Jo, understand the effects extreme weather conditions and natural disasters can have on valuable water supply. After settling down in the region after the Christchurch earthquakes, Mike and Jo experienced first-hand the need for a Plan B during stressful times with no water or power supplies for weeks.

After completing a new hillside build in Nelson, they lost many freshly-planted trees set for ground stability during one of the region’s harshest summers. “It gives me a ‘feel-good’ factor helping households install an alternate water supply, as people rely so much on water for day-to-day living, “says Mike. “Not only is there an alternate water supply for the garden but it’s also a great backup supply for emergency household use. We hear too often of mains water contamination, drought and supply issues. I believe, for a modest outlay having back-up water supply is good for the individual household but also for the environment. We see a need for alternate water supply with so many unknowns in the foreseeable future and so many

natural catastrophes… including potential issue with water quality.”

Based in Nelson, Watersorter Ltd offers domestic rainwater tank supply and installation solutions, servicing the Nelson and Tasman regions at a great competitive rate.

“Water is a necessity. The day you turn the tap, then nothing comes out, will be the day you’re glad you had a Rainwater Tank installed.”

Providing obligation-free quotes, Mike says doing an initial walkthrough with potential clients is the best way to ensure an easy cost-effective Rainwater Tank installation. “A walk around is best as we have experience on where and how the tank will be best sited. Installation can be quite complex so this decision can be quite daunting for many.” A Leaf Catcher and First Flush Diverter can improve water quality at reasonable costing and can be installed as an affordable optional extra.”

NELSON MARLBOROUGH | NELSON (03) 546 1800 | MARLBOROUGH (03) 520 9999

Chief Medical Officer Nick Baker:

Masks Matter as Hospitalisations Rise It is widely acknowledged that the health care system is facing several challenges this winter. In addition to a spike in COVID-19 cases and hospitalisations, we are experiencing our flu season along with a general upswing in respiratory viruses. The associated staff absences are putting health workers and the whole health system under extreme pressure.

People over 70: underrepresented in case numbers, overrepresented in hospitals

Throughout the Omicron outbreak in New Zealand, the majority of cases have been in those under 60, but more recently we are seeing a shift: cases are increasing in the over70 population. What’s more, though this age group is still a minority of cases, they are disproportionately represented in hospitalisation figures.

Between significant staff sickness in the younger population and significant hospitalisation in the older population, it is no surprise that we are seeing an increasing workload across the whole system.

Nelson Marlborough experienced the highest COVID case peak in March, followed by a drop and then another peak in July as winter began in earnest.

Though Nelson Marlborough’s current peak of case numbers appears to be dropping, Nelson and Wairau Hospitals’ hospitalisation numbers are rising as the burden of COVID-19 shifts to older age groups. A steady (or even a slightly declining) number of cases in the community has a great impact on our aged population.

“Everyone is absolutely fed up with COVID, but this is not the time to relax. Our basic prevention remains critical: get vaccinated, wear a mask in many indoor settings, and isolate when sick to slow the spread of the virus over the remaining winter months. These are key steps to making life hard for this new strain.”

We have no space for complacency across our communities

At this stage there has been a delay in the arrival of RSV across the country.

I like to think that our background level of mask-wearing, hand-washing, and keeping your distance if unwell is making life hard for RSV, and our flu peak has begun to fade away faster than expected. A very high level of prevention will be required to protect our vulnerable people as the highly contagious BA.5 becomes the dominant strain in New Zealand.

Omicron BA.5: Reinfections will become routine

Quite quickly Omicron BA.5 has become the most common strain within New Zealand. It has competed successfully because it spreads really well.

Unfortunately, BA.5 doesn’t care that you

just had COVID from a different strain.

The immunity an earlier strain of COVID imparted does not protect against the current strain going around. This is because BA.5 has changes to the spike protein which can dodge our immune system, and it is better at sticking to cells and spreading.

A recommitment to prevention in the face of complacency is key

The BA.5 variant is cause for concern but not alarm. There is no increase in the severity of illness and the vaccine continues to protect against severe infections. However, as this strain is highly contagious it will lead to more workplace absences and continuing high hospitalisation rates for those over 70, it is a reason to recommit to basic precautions in the community.

Everyone is absolutely fed up with

COVID, but this is not the time to relax.

Our basic prevention remains critical: get vaccinated, wear a mask in many indoor settings, and isolate when sick to slow the spread of the virus over the remaining winter months. These are key steps to making life hard for this new strain.

Mask wearing in particular has seen a lot of complacency recently but it is important to remember that wearing masks can reduce new cases of the virus by as much as 53%. Reaching even a portion of that level of reduction would have a huge impact on rates of infection, staff sickness, and hospitalisation rates for those over 70.

Free RATs and masks are available you don’t need to be unwell to access them

RATs and masks are widely available.

There is no criteria, you don’t need to be unwell or have symptoms. Anyone who needs RATs or masks can collect a free pack for you and your whānau from a community collection site. Search for one near you on Healthpoint.co.nz. Or, you live in a rural area, call 0800 222 478 and press 3 to discuss delivery to your postal address.

Do I need a second booster?

A second booster is recommended for people at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19. If you are eligible, you should get it at least 6 months after a first booster. The following people can receive a second booster as a priority: • • • •

people aged 65 and over Māori and Pacific peoples aged 50 and over residents of aged care and disability care facilities severely immunocompromised people who received a 3-dose primary course and a fourth dose as a first booster (this would be a fifth dose for these people) • people aged 16 and over who live with disability with significant or complex health needs or multiple comorbidities • people aged 16 and over with a medical condition that increases the risk of severe COVID-19 illness.

A second booster is also available for:

• all people aged 50 and over • healthcare, aged care and disability workers aged 30 and over.

A second booster is not yet needed by younger people who are generally healthy and do not have underlying health conditions. This includes people who are currently healthy and pregnant.

To get your booster talk to your pharmacist, GP or head to your local vaccination centre. For details visit: www.healthpoint.co.nz

A wobbly win in Mako season opener PETER JONES It seems that after every rugby match nowadays a coach or captain trots out the standard line, “we have got plenty to work on”.

Well, after Tasman’s opening foray into the Bunnings NPC this season, it would be hard to disagree with that call.

Although the Mako men got off to a winning start at Lansdowne Park on Sunday night, they made hard work of it against a determined Southland side.

The Stags were eventually beaten 27-20 after dominating much of the second spell, Tasman left hanging on rather than kicking on.

The home side produced moments of brilliance in the first half, all three of their tries the result of “heads-up” rugby coupled with superb support play.

Their handy 27-10 halftime lead set them up for a conclusive victory, but they allowed their opponents back into the match and nearly paid the price for it. They

their run of form in downing North Harbour 42-15 in the Farah Palmer Cup competition as part of the double header at Lansdowne Park.

In a complete, seven-try, performance from the home side, combining well-organised and patterned attack with relentless defence, their handling and intensity a step up on their northern rivals.

Tasman, no doubt buoyed by their previous week’s win over Taranaki, began with a hiss and a roar on the back of a fantastic performance by first five-

eighth Cassie Siataga.

Powerhouse Mako replacement prop Ona Palu also had a strong game, bringing the crowd alive with a storming 25m run which ended with Tasman’s sixth try and established a 37-15 lead, underlining their improvement and superiority. Tasman men’s skipper Quinten Strange, who along with Alex Nankivell, Anton Segner, Sione Havili, Max Hicks and Andrew Makalio provided the experienced core that saw the Mako through, said they fell off their game in the second half.

“I thought we started really well, we were physical when we had the ball … but in that second half we didn’t come out fizzing. They started better, kicked really well

to put us under pressure and we didn’t react well enough. “[The good stuff] was there for us today, but it was there in patches. Now it is all about stringing those positive moments together, putting pressure on other teams by balancing our game. We didn’t see that in the second 40.”

Nankivell, who has been with the Mako since he was 18 and describes the area as his ‘second home’, said it was “like a breath of fresh air being back in camp with the Mako”.

He and his Mako teammates played Southland last weekend in their final warm-up match, gaining a preview of what the southern side could offer.

“We knew after last week that they were a good side,” said Alex.

“It was also a close game and they had the better of us at times too.

They are a physical team and when you have a guy like [Marty] Banksy driving them around the field they are hard to stop.

“We had to dig deep but the effort was there, although we have plenty to work on if we are to keep advancing in this competition.”

“When you look at some of those team sheets [of the other NPC sides] it means we are going to have to be on our game every week, no holidays … it’s going to be a hell of a season, with some exciting rugby to be played.”

Among the ‘work-ons’ before Tasman’s next game, against Otago in Dunedin on Saturday afternoon, is improved composure and option-taking behind the scrum, finding a way to disrupt their opponent’s ball at both scrum and lineout, plus more efficient breakdown cleanouts.

Humble, yet honoured to be named a Good Sort JACK MALCOLM John Macduff says he didn’t think he was worthy of being presented with Sport Tasman’s Top South Media Good Sort Award.

As a dedicated volunteer at the Nelson Yacht Club, John has spent decades helping run and expand the club’s offerings.

He did believe a large part of his recognition was for the work he does with Sailability Nelson Trust as its founder and current chairperson, but did not think he deserved the credit.

“I said to the man who put in the application for me that it’s all the volunteers who help out who should get it, I’m just the glue that holds it all together.

“There’s all those other people, and without our volunteers, it wouldn’t happen.”

Sailability was the first of its kind in the South Island, offering safe sailing courses to members of the intellectually and physically disabled community.

John says the programme has exploded in popularity since it started eight years ago, operating through the summer months.

“We have five boats, two larger ones for adults and bigger people and three smaller ones, generally taking 17-to-20 people out in a

session.

“We’ve got a waiting list now. . . the parents are just thrilled, we don’t start until October and there’s already people reaching out to sail.”

Sailability has also found a lot of support from the local community, with Port Nelson providing access to their pontoon to allow easier access and a hoist lift to help people in and out of the boats.

Every attendee is paired with an experienced sailor, but John says the goal is to get people sailing as

then put on a complete display of domination against a struggling opposition.

After scoring first on the counterattack down the blind side through winger Callum Robertson, Nelson College struck again the very next phase after the kickoff.

Without taking the ball to ground, they broke through the centre of the Roncalli defence, and a simple draw and pass saw captain and centre Nelesoni Malaulau score under the posts.

The following restart would be sent into touch on the full, giving Nelson College the ball on the halfway line which they converted into another try with prop Sione Mafi powering it over in the forwards.

Roncalli then tried to kick short on the restart, with the ball not going ten and play was called back to be restarted at halfway again. The series of errors highlighted the struggles the away side had in finding any momentum, having been outplayed in all aspects of the park.

On offence, they would face a ferocious defence that would often see them taking backwards steps as they were driven back in the tackle.

At one point, Nelson College were nearly able to force them back into their own in-goal as they looked to try and create an attack at the death.

Nelson College’s only real flaw was self-imposed, with their scrum so dominant that they were caught several times pushing too far.

At lineout time, they also found success in ruining the Roncalli ball while also creating several attacks with a powerful rolling maul.

Roncalli just didn’t have the answers for the home side, with Nelson College having their way in running try after try into the scorebooks.

It looked like they had almost given up, allowing their opposition to run the ball in behind the posts several times for an easy conversion.

However, nothing should be taken away from the Nelson College performance, as their dominance was earned through hard work and determination.

Captain Nelesoni says they expected a bigger challenge from Roncalli in one of their last games of the season.

“We were trying to build phases, but the message came down to play our power game and that’s what we did.

“We had a really slow start, and that’s on our mentality coming into the game.”

Looking towards the knockout stages next weekend, Nelesoni says they’ll get to work first thing Monday. He says Sione Mafi and Heni Fa’avae had fantastic games in the forwards, with their power keeping them a step ahead.
