Granny flats - cramming or housing solution?

MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

As Nelson overhauls its planning rules to cater for future population growth, a Government proposal to make it easier to build

granny flats is receiving a mixed response.

Small, standalone houses up to 60 square metres would be able to be built without a resource or building consent under the proposal which aims to create more

affordable housing.

Currently, Nelson City Council is reworking its planning rules to make them more flexible to encourage intensification, create more homes, and apply downward pressure on housing prices.

In some cases, this would be achieved by allowing up to six storeys to be built without a resource consent.

Mandy Bishop, the council’s group manager – environmental management, says the proposal is

“unlikely” to make many changes to either the city’s existing or proposed planning rules for urban areas.

“These rules already enable

Kotua Place has a new resident, and he’s hoping to see some locals who are keen to pose for a photo with him.

Stuart the three-metre-tall Minion, has spent his previous life as a bright red boiler somewhere in Nelson Tasman. When Norwest discovered the boiler, the team thought it would make a great Minion, and with the upcoming release of Despicable Me 4 ahead of the school holidays, they decided to bring Stuart to life.

“We were just looking at it and thought, ‘that could be a Minion’,” says general manager, Grant Kerr. “We thought ‘let’s get this done in time for the movie release and holidays’.”

Grant says they would love for any Minion-mad kids (or adults) to come along to their Kotua Place site and have their photo taken with Stuart.

“They’re a good idea, I’d use it for siblings and parents to live in for the cheap accommodation.”

“For my family or friends who needed somewhere to be, [granny flats are] something that should have happened a long time ago.”

“For an Air B&B or I might use it for out-of-town relatives, not sure if I would use it for permanent accommodation.”

“Our section is pretty small so I would use it as a play space for my three granddaughters.”

granny flats and small dwellings to be built without resource consent, subject to meeting some bulk and location standards.”

However, the new national environment standard created under Government’s proposal would better enable Nelson’s rural areas to install a granny flat, unlike under the existing rules.

Mandy also notes that it will be challenging for the council to ensure that the granny flats will be built according to the Building Code and in a safe location if a building consent isn’t required.

Council officers recommended several changes to Plan Change 29 following public submissions, with many in support of smallscale and medium-density intensification.

Local urban designer Timo Neubauer is sceptical that granny flats will provide a solution to the region’s housing woes.

He says that granny flats increase the capital value of a property which makes it more expensive and difficult for developers to intensify a site into townhouses or apartments.

“If you can actually go to a model… where you can go three sto-

However, local architectural designer Mark Fielding believes granny flats and other secondary minor dwellings could provide housing for a 50 per cent increase in the city’s population without having to build up.

“It flies in the face, I believe, of Plans Change 29.”

He says small dwellings can provide cheap accommodation for young families saving for their first house, but getting a resource consent for them can be “very difficult” in many districts across the country.

“It’s a damn good solution. It’s going to provide a lot of work for the industry as well, and it’s really simple work and easy work.

These things can get designed and built in a matter of weeks.”

‘Substantial’ work needed for Morrison Sq KATE RUSSELL Tenants at Morrison Square will be required to vacate after a recent engineering report revealed the external cladding system at the precinct requires “substantial repair”.

The property is owned by ACC’s Investment Fund and is home to 22 retail and commercial tenants.

A spokesperson says it is possible that a complete rebuild could also be on the cards for the complex.

“We will be working through options to determine the future of the buildings,” they say.

“Leases won’t be renewed, and tenants will be encouraged to vacate.”

The engineering report states that deterioration in the cladding may pose a health and safety risk if not addressed by the end of the year.

ACC is now working with the property manager to communicate with the affected tenancies and end leases at the earliest convenience, to give tenants maximum time to find new premises.

“The health and safety of tenants, the public, and the precinct’s neighbours is ACC’s primary concern, and ACC acknowledges that this will be a challenging time for tenants.”

The tenancies in the historic Hardy St buildings aren’t affected, they confirmed.

ACC purchased the building

in October 2008 for $22.7 million, and they say there is currently no plan to sell the site to the private sector.

The shopping centre opened in 2007 as ‘Fashion Island’ with the name changed to Morrison Square in 2013.

The Brook Waimārama Sanctuary Trust’s office is located at the property, and chief executive Ru Collin says it is “very early days and far too early to confirm” what they will do in terms of the future of their space.

“However, we will be looking for opportunities to continue having a presence in the Nelson CBD,” he says.

Other businesses also said it was too early to comment.

Care workers rally in Nelson

Hundreds of people came together across the country on Monday at rallies calling on the Government to fully fund a pay equity settlement for care and support workers. The day marked two years since the claim was initiated and no settlement has been reached. The three care and support unions, E tū, PSA, and NZNO, organised the rallies in seven locations including Nelson. The claim affects 65,000 people working in disability support, aged residential care, home support, and mental health and addictions support. The unions have worked with employers and Government in good faith for two years to reach a settlement, providing extensive evidence that care and support workers are underpaid.

$744.40 to Louis Chapman from the Male Room on Thursday.

She says it’s something the club will look to grow on each year.

“It’s really lovely when someone in the community does something like this,” Louis says.

“We’ve never had someone come in with such a large cash donation and we will make sure every dollar goes to people on

He says that could be helping with an emergency tent or sleeping bag, assisting with a birthday present for a child, or providing a breakfast, which they do each morning.

“We feel very lucky to that receive that kind of money, especially in the current climate,” he says.

Nelson challenges Government as 8.2% rates hike confirmed MAX FRETHEY

Local Democracy Reporter

Nelson’s representatives have taken aim at the Government to ease the financial pressure on residents as the city’s rates are hiked.

On Thursday morning, a rates increase of 8.2 per cent was unanimously agreed to by Nelson City Council.

If the new annual $300 storm recovery charge is included in that figure, the rates increase jumps to 15.3 per cent.

“The scale of the rate increase … is going to be a significant hit for every household and budget,” mayor Nick Smith acknowledged.

Like other councils across the country, Nelson City has been putting together its Long Term Plan for the next decade but has faced economic headwinds while having the additional burden of a $60 million bill from the August 2022 storm event.

Nick said several “tough calls” on funding have been made and efficiencies have been found.

Despite the savings, a rates hike couldn’t be avoided with councillors determined not to drastically cut back council services or completely stop investment into civic and community facilities.

Councillor Mel Courtney called

Councillor Mel Courtney called on the Government to return the GST that the city pays on its rates to ease pressure on residents.

Photo: Max Frethey. for “urgent action” from the Government to “lessen the burden on ratepayers” by returning the GST that councils paid on their rates.

In 2022, Nelson paid the Government $11.16 million of GST on its rate take – equivalent to about 9 per cent of the council’s operating income.

“Local government is the foundation of our democracy and it must be funded adequately and appropriately. Relying on rates to support this council’s activities is, in my judgement, unsustainable,” Mel said.

“Isn’t it about time they paid rates

on all of the Government-owned property in Nelson as well?” agreed councillor Pete Rainey.

Pete also called for the Government to stop its “unacceptable intrusion” into the city’s affairs on matters like setting speed limits and Māori representation issues.

“Let us make our own local decisions on local issues.”

Councillor Trudie Brand reflected on the city’s approach to rebuilding after the August 2022 weather event, particularly regarding the council’s decision to buy-out property owners where the cost of repair was greater than

the price of the property.

She challenged the Government to review the role of the Earthquake Commission and insurance providers as storm events grow in frequency and damage.

Nick agreed, saying that the annual $300 storm recovery charge was an example of Nelson “picking up the pieces of inadequate systems at central government”.

He said the Government needed to develop longer-term solutions for how to respond to the effects of storm events and improve climate change resilience in local communities.

Nick however also said Nelson would not underinvest in its infrastructure over the next decade as other councils have done in the past, highlighting $826 million of planned investment while maintaining a balanced budget.

“We are wisely investing in the infrastructure for this community,” he said.

And while the council is not planning any “huge” civic projects for the immediate future, several smaller investments are being made.

Over the next three years, the council has allocated about $1.6 million to buy a building to house an arts hub for the city, while $3.3 million has been earmarked for a

new surf lifesaving club building, with the club covering half the costs.

“A city though that is not investing at all in its civic and community facilities is going backwards,” Nick said.

However, a proposal to build or investigate an all-weather artificial sports turf was dropped from the final Long Term Plan.

Councillor Tim Skinner expressed reservations about the “eye-watering” levels of council spending and debt forecast over the next 10 years.

The council’s operating yearly expenditure is set to increase to more than $250 million in 2033/34, up $80 million when compared to 2023/24.

Council debt is also expected to reach half a billion dollars in the same period.

However, while he has voted against Long Term Plans for the same reasons in the past, he feels that this year’s plan is reflective of what the community asked for.

“Our scope has got so broad, but then the public … have asked more of us.”

The annual Rai Valley Hunt garnered 244 entries. Photo: Supplied.

Hunters turn out in force SARA HOLLYMAN The Rai Valley Hunt has been deemed a success with nearly 250 animals weighed in across children’s, youth and adults’ categories.

Jamie Knight, who owns the Millers Rest with his wife Kelsey, says its the third hunt they’ve run since taking over the business in 2022. He says the 244 entries weighed in a total of 244 goats, deer, pigs, possums, rabbits and hares. The weather also played ball with a fine weekend across the board.

Jamie says they were happy with the number of entrants, half of which came in in the few days before entries closed.

“There were at least two other hunts on that weekend that I know of so it was a pretty good

turnout.

“We had people from everywhere really including people who came from Nelson.”

The heaviest boar of the day, which was weighed in by Ivy Boyce in the youth category, came in at 72kg or 158lb, beating out Jeremy Everson’s 63.45kg or 139lber.

Ivy’s animal also claimed the biggest tusks of the day, which is normally awarded in the adults category, but Jamie says after a team discussion, it was only fair to award it to Ivy for her catch. The heaviest stag weighed in at a whopping 148.6kgs by hunter Aimee Bates in the adults category.

Aimee’s son Beauden Bates claimed heaviest stag in the youth category with a 102kg animal.

“We had pretty good turn out with stags this year,” Jamie says. “And a few more pigs that were in better condition than last year.”

Jamie says the winning animals contributed to a total of 5.5tonne of meat being weighed in at the competition.

This year, for the first time, hunters were able to donate their meat to be taken off site, packaged and gifted to those in need. “There’s plenty of people that like hunting for fun so it was good to know other families who either can’t hunt, or are having a tough time will benefit.”

He is now looking forward to entering in the upcoming Havelock Hunt, without the worry of organising prizes and catering for 250 people.

calling and transforming his own life after being “caught up in the world of drugs and alcohol”.

“It affected our marriage and family, so we’ve been through some pretty tough times, but finding that healing, faith, and restoration has been a real part of that journey. That’s why we do what we do today.

“That’s been my story, coming from that lifestyle of hopelessness and despair to now having hope and offering hope to others.”

The couple has five biolog-

ical children and two foster children aged between 12 and 28 and they say they are enjoying meeting the community and establishing relationships with people.

“We’ve been well received, we’ve got an amazing team here,” Karl says.

Christine says they will continue the “incredible” work with housing first and transitional housing.

“There is still such a need.

For me, it’s also about helping people find somewhere that they belong and not feel judged in any way.”

Karl says they have a range of services for the community.

“We have a drop-in centre where people can just come in and feel part of a family.

We’ve started a men’s support group and a 12-step recovery programme and it’s just amazing seeing people respond to that. It’s about creating places for the community, but also places for healing and transformation.”

Christine says they’ve been “blown away” with the community groups in Nelson.

“It feels like this is where we are meant to be.”

“Lady Glen gave a lifetime of service. She was a volunteer, giver of advice, caterer – whatever she needed to be.

“She lent her mana and support to Labour and to her community for a long time.”

Matariki time of new beginnings SARA HOLLYMAN Many have celebrated Matariki in the past week, but for one Nelson kindergarten, it truly marked a new beginning. What was formerly Bridge Street Early Learning Centre joined with Health Kids at the beginning of the year after their lease ended on Nelson Hospital grounds.

The two early childhoods merged to form Bridge Street Kindergarten – a Nelson Tasman Kindergarten.

The first Matariki celebration was held last week for whānau and friends with the centre’s children singing their hearts out, many performing in front of a crowd for the first time.

One of the highlights, according to

teacher Rachel Woodyear-Smith, was welcoming back the Atua/Māori guardians after they were transferred from the former Health Kids site.

“These Atua were meticulously hand crafted by Stephen Baumberger and painted by his wife Brigitt,” Rachel says of the guardians crafted from the book In the Beginning. “Our Atua play a pivotal role in providing a bi-cultural curriculum that reflects the aspirations of our whānau and local iwi.

“The tamariki talk about being like Tāwhiri-mātea as they fly through the air on our rope swing, or being a leader like Tāne-mahuta which hangs from our huge heritage weeping elm tree, which sits in the heart of our play space,” she says.

Third teetotal for cancer GORDON PREECE

Council in 1900 decided to plant a tree on Britannia Heights, at the spot where Captain Arthur Wakefield first raised the British flag. The tree was to be planted by William Songer, who was in his 80s by then.

Council assembled in the chamber to wait for Mr Songer. The Chairman of the Committee got restless, left his colleagues and planted the tree himself. Mr Songer was reportedly disappointed but accepted he was late and was happy for his name to be recorded as the planter. Others were not so pleased, and the tree was replanted by Mr Songer to match the inscription. Photo: Nelson Provincial Museum, Tyree Studio Collection: 36804.

Moana Davis has a history of heavy drinking but seldom drinks alcohol these days to efficiently engage in everyday tasks.

She has also been rocked by whānau members in her Waikato homeland, and a colleague at her Alliance Nelson workplace who have succumbed to cancer.

The Nelson resident who enjoys a tipple on special occasions is participating in her third Dry July this year in the spirit of loved ones and people worldwide who have battled or are battling cancer.

Dry July is a nationwide campaign that challenges people to abstain from alcohol for a month to pour in funds for Kiwis affected by cancer.

The campaign pledges its support to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, Pinc & Steel, which supports cancer recovery, and Look Good Feel Better, which provides free, practical programs to help people face cancer with confidence.

Moana says her fundraising goal this year is $500, and she also wants to uplift more people to reduce their alcohol consumption, particularly those

“When I started doing Dry July [three years ago] I was affected by the vaccine and I couldn’t walk for a whole year, but I still did it because I had to focus on myself,” she says.

“People drinking around me asked if I wanted a drink and I would say ‘no, I’m doing Dry July, why are you drinking?’

You should be supporting your whānau with cancer.

“I used to be a hard-out drink-

er, but I started [drinking less] when I started working at the meat works [five years ago] because I work around machinery, and you can’t be having hangovers every weekend because you have to keep your mindset.”

The 36-year-old says she also noticed changes to her skin by cutting back on booze.

Opinion Drivers ‘frustrated’ with licence delays

ing language, you’re so wrong. It’s alive, growing and beautiful!!

Shaz Nicholls

Lessons, lessons, lessons. Driving instructors teach you things nobody knows, not even your cool Uncle Kev lol, and the testers can tell if you’ve had formal lessons based on those skills. I had 3 lessons each before sitting my restricted and full tests, I passed first time both times.

Mandi Halliday This is a completely unacceptable situation that the powers that be appear unwilling to resolve. I spoke to the parents of a couple of teens last weekend who were having these very problems. For people in Nelson-Tasman to have to go to Marlborough or the West Coast to sit their driving tests is just a joke - and not a funny one.

Dennis Goodman I RENEWED an endorsement and what’s supposed to be a 4 week process took SIX MONTHS, followed up multiple times to be told it was processing... hard to drive a commercial passenger vehicle when you don’t have the endorsement... what a joke.

Li Ry My son failed his full a couple of months ago and retested a week later both in Nelson with a pass. We managed to find 3 different time slots. They come up all the time. We didn’t have any problem last year finding them with his restricted and full.

Tania Ferris On the flip side, my teen used a skill she had called “patience” to wait the 2.5 months for her driving test. She then planned her final 3 lessons around that date, she practiced what she learned,

Whare Kupenga-Keefe We could hear it at work on Akersten Street, loved it!

Jess Szentpeteri Def got it on in the background while working. The performances are amazing!

To anyone who thinks Te Reo Māori is a dead or dy-

Ruling is weird, we lived rural, no neighbours what so ever within a mile, we had a huge wood burner and wanted to replace it with a smaller one and had to put in a clean air one even though we don’t live in a town and have no neighbours. Rule seems to be strange if they are stopping people from putting in clean air fireplaces, shouldn’t make a difference at all. Councils should be helping people, not hindering them.

Annette Mckenzie We should all have the ability to keep warm in the best form. Heat pumps do not cut. On a gloomy day there is nothing that beats the glow of the fire. Heat pumps leave you feeling dried out. Keep pushing! Our homes cost us so much.

Where are our rights to keep warm?

Heather Kelling

Nelson Matters Hon Dr Nick Smith

LONG TERM PLAN SIGNED OFF Council’s decision last week to adopt the 495-page plan setting out our priorities and budgets for the next decade is a key milestone. It was the most difficult plan to put together in decades with costs going through the roof, tens of millions required to fix storm damage and the new Government changing policy in areas such as water midway through the process.

The unanimous vote was remarkable.

Many Councils around the country have fractured and others have delayed.

Our Nelson Council last term was quite divided. There are diverse views around the current Council table and priorities were strongly debated. Consensus was achieved with goodwill, teamwork and a final plan that had input from all.

Council settled on an average 8.2% rate rise for 2024-25 and a $300 levy to meet the costs of the storm recovery. The rate increase is lower than most Councils but we also know it will be tough on households and businesses when the rate demands go out on 25 July.

The storm repair costs are unavoidable after the August ’22 deluge – the worst natural disaster to hit Nelson in 50 years.

We have secured $26.3 million in support from Government without which the levy would need to be $440 per household.

We accept the $300 is a hard pill to swallow but we had to rebuild the city. We are responsibly building back better.

The single biggest driver of the rate increase is infrastructure. Council plans to spend $523m on wastewater, drinking water, stormwater and flood protection, and a further $303m on transport infrastructure over the next decade. This equates to $36,000 per household.

It is false economy to skimp on infrastructure – that is why the Wellington Council is in a such difficulty. However, we do need to work with Government and contractors to get soaring construction costs under control. The costs of traffic management, dealing with construction waste and consenting are making this bill bigger than it should be.

It is good to have this plan sorted but we owe it to financially squeezed ratepayers to be always looking further for efficiencies and savings.

Nick Smith

‘Urinetown’ will be hitting the stage at Red Door Theatre next week. Photo: Supplied.

Theatre goes to the toilets KATE RUSSELL It may not be the most “appetising” title, but Nelson Musical Theatre’s production of ‘Urinetown’ is set to bring something “different” to the stage this winter, according to director Hugh Neill.

Starting at Red Door Theatre on 10 July, the satirical comedy musical tells the story of a 20-year drought which has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets.

The citizens must use and pay for public amenities, regulat-

ed by a single megalomaniac company until the local toilet mop-boy decides that he’s had enough and plots a plan to lead them to freedom.

The Tony Award winning musical pokes fun at capitalism, socialism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement and petty small town politics.

“What I love about it is that it is so different from other musicals,” Hugh says.

“It’s a parody on other musicals - very much a ‘larger than life’ take on them. I’m always researching what’s out there

and what’s new, and this appealed to me.”

Hugh says the show is a real community theatre affair as some of the cast of 14 are joining them from Wakefield Country Players and Nelson Repertory Theatre.

“We have a really nice mix, it’s how community theatre should be.”

Urinetown is on from 10 - 20 July at Red Door Theatre with all shows at 7pm. Tickets are available from www.iticket. co.nz

Ngā mihi nui to the more than 10,000 people who came to celebrate the Māori New Year and Matariki festivities this past Friday at Trafalgar Park. Mānawatia a Matariki!

Next month contractors will begin work on slip sites around the Grampians. There are four slips that need to be remediated.

To view our Matariki 2024 video, please scan

Slip 14 | Tukuka Street

Part One will begin from 8 July. This will be Slip 14 | Tukuka Street. This work is on part of the Grampians Lower Traverse and will require the entrance closure from Tukuka Street and Oaks Reserve.

Slip 12 | Allan Street Slip 12 | Tawa Track – Ronaki

Part Two will start from 15 July. The work will be between the Grampians and private properties on Allan Street. There will be increased activity in this area with trucks using Hampden Street to access the site. There will be no track closures for this part of the project.

Slip 16 | Tawa Track – Endeavour Street

Slip 18 | Collingwood Street

Carved tupu for Kī-o-rahi unveiled Representatives from Nelson City Council, Whakatū Marae and others recently met at Queen Elizabeth II Reserve near the Miyazu Japanese Garden to unveil a tupu carved

by Kaumātua Mark Davis that will be used for kī-o-rahi, a traditional Māori game.

Kī-o-rahi is played between two teams of seven on a circular field divided into zones. Players score points by first hitting any of seven pou (posts) on the outer zones with a kī (small ball) then hitting the tupu (central target).

The game stems from the legend of Rahitutakahina and Tiarakurapakewai, and learning this pūrākau (story) is a fundamental part of the game.

With a large focus on Te Ao Māori, kī-o-rahi enables players to develop a connection with Māori culture,

Nelson – A Smart Little City He Tāone Tōrire a Whakatū

our.nelson.govt.nz

language, and identity. The game also includes strong references to Matariki, with the seven outer pou each representing a star in the Matariki cluster.

The kī-o-rahi playing field and tupu are the first elements of the game to be set down. Further elements are still to come, including an interpretation board explaining the story and rules of kī-o-rahi and a system enabling people to borrow the play equipment from Whakatū Marae.

Nelson Long Term Plan 2024 – 2034 adopted Council has adopted the Long Term Plan 2024-2034 (LTP) with elected members voting unanimously to support it. Council also approved the 2024/25 schedule of fees and charges.

The LTP includes an 8.2% average rates increase in the first year, alongside a $300 Storm Recovery Charge.

“While the 2024/25 rate rise is lower than most other councils around the country, I’m very conscious that this average 8.2% increase comes at a time when households and businesses are already under huge financial pressure,” says Nelson Mayor Nick Smith.

“The single biggest driver of the increase is the cost of infrastructure. Over the next decade, Council plans to spend $523 million on wastewater, drinking water, stormwater and flood protection infrastructure, and a further $303 million on roads and other transport infrastructure. We would be doing Nelson residents a disservice if we pulled back on these investments.

“The storm recovery charge is to cover the $87.2 million estimated cost to Council of the August 2022 storm, net of the $26.3 million we have secured in support from Government. It is the cost of fixing the damage and building back better.”

Titled Beyond the Storm - Kei tua i te āwhā, the LTP contains key issues that elected members decided on.

Buyout of Private Properties affected by slips Elected members agreed to accept the Central Government buy-out support offer, which will now be used to purchase up to 17 slip affected properties, and to apply amended eligibility buy-out principles.

The principles now include residential properties that are not the primary residence of an owner as well as the primary residence of an owner.

Percentage value payouts for primary residences

will be to a maximum of 95% of valuation if insured and 80% if uninsured. All valuations will be taken from before the August 2022 weather event.

Percentage value payouts for non-primary residences will be to a maximum of 95% of their valuation if insured and 80% if uninsured. This payout will be taken from remaining funds once all eligible primary residence properties are confirmed, and Council valuations obtained.

If the potential payout to insured nonprimary residence properties falls below 80% of valuation, Council can re-assess the application of the eligibility buy-out principles to ensure an equitable outcome.

Council's approach to forestry Elected members agreed to the option to exit commercial forestry over time. Council received over 1000 submissions commenting on the issue with a strong majority in favour of exiting commercial forestry.

Marina CCO proposal Council has agreed to establish an Asset-Owning Council Controlled Organisation (CCO) for the Nelson Marina by 1 July 2025. This approach will set it up in a way to best deliver the Nelson Marina Masterplan, while maintaining 100% Council ownership of the CCO.

Housing Reserve Elected members agreed to broaden the purpose of the Housing Reserve Fund to enable it to be used to provide enduring support to reduce housing vulnerability in line with submissions from the public.

All-weather sports turf Council decided not to proceed with the proposal to build a new all-weather sports turf and agreed

instead to retain proposals in the Long Term Plan 2021-2031 to improve lighting and drainage at sports fields across Nelson. Submissions to this key issue were divided in terms of support for the all-weather sports turf.

Facilities at Tāhunanui Beach for Nelson Surf Life Saving Club Council agreed to support construction of a new facility for the Nelson Surf Life Saving Club and upgrade the changing facilities at the sports ground in line with the majority of public submissions.

Council decided to cap its capital funding contribution to the new lifesaving facility at either $1.65 million or 50% of the total capital costs (whichever is the lesser amount) with the rest of costs to be covered by the club.

Arts Hub Council has agreed to purchase an existing building and establish an arts hub. The majority of approximately 900 submissions commenting on the issue supported the initiative and an amendment means that the purchase can take place sooner than planned.

Fees and charges There will be an increase of 17.7% for solid waste charges at the Nelson Waste Recovery Centre. This has been brought in to match the increase set by the Nelson Tasman Regional Landfill Business Unit (NTRLBU).

There will also be some changes to Library fees.

Visit the library website for full details.

The full Long Term Plan document will be available by the end of July, visit nelson.govt.nz for more information and to see all the changes to fees and charges. shape.nelson.govt.nz/long-term-plan-2024-2034

Waterfront redevelopment sets sail A collaborative approach will be the key to revitalising Nelson’s waterfront.

Nelson City Council’s Waterfront Redevelopment Taskforce has met for the first time, and its Chair, Councillor Mel Courtney, says they want a whole-ofcommunity approach.

“There has already been a great deal of interest from the public about how the waterfront along Wakefield Quay and Haven Road should be revitalised.

“This should come as no surprise—Nelson is a seaside city with a beautiful waterfront, and we all want to make the most of this stunning feature.

“We want everyone involved in this journey with us—from individuals and community groups to businesses, investors and our iwi sisters and brothers,” he says.

The Taskforce is responsible for strengthening the link between the city and the Haven Precinct and will complement the work of the City Revitalisation Taskforce.

Both were established after the City Revitalisation Summit held in March 2024 where attendees expressed a strong desire for the city and waterfront to be revitalised.

Mayor Nick Smith says it’s about building on that momentum and turning the ideas into action.

“I was involved 20 years ago in the development of the Early Settlers’ Memorial, the Seafarers’ Memorial and The Styx building, but the surrounding

mpany/nelson-city-council

area is crying out for redevelopment. We need to determine the fate of the Council-owned Power House, Anchor, former Four Seasons and Reliance Engineering buildings that have been vacant for years,” he says.

Joining Councillor Courtney on the Taskforce are councillors Campbell Rollo, Tim Skinner, Pete Rainey, Matthew Benge and Mayor Nick (ex officio).

A representative from Port Nelson, which is a vital partner in the redevelopment work, will also join the Taskforce.

It’s all on the app Are you?

It’s almost the school holidays, and that means it’s time for some Nelson Youth Theatre shows at the Theatre Royal.

The July holidays will see Finding Nemo Jr and Mamma Mia! bring a total of 135 youths to the stage for an impressive run of 18 shows.

Mamma Mia! is the first to kick off this Friday. It’s being performed by 50 of the theatre company’s older actors, aged between 13 and 17.

“Mamma Mia! is everyone’s favourite sing-along. People are encouraged to get up and dance in the aisles and wear their glad rags,” director

our promise...

Richard Carruthers says. “It’s a gorgeous story - even the rehearsals have moved me to tears several times. There is a good reason it is still playing at West End after all these years and our version is every bit as stunning.”

Described as “The Lion King of the undersea world”, Finding Nemo Jr is set to be a “bright, breezy and bouncy” show and will swim onto stage from next Tuesday.

“This one is pitched at a younger audience - colourful costumes, a simple storyline and it runs for one hour. It’s going to be a fabulous show,”

N E L S O N

Richard says. “We’ve got around 15 dedicated parents making costumes… there will be glow-in-the-dark jellyfish, sea turtles with fancy turtle shells, three different types of sharks, and pufferfish.”

The cast of 85 ranges in age from four to 14, and Richard says it’s a great first show for their aspiring young actors.

“It’s a great introduction to youth theatre, and we’ve got around 20 new kids on stage.”

Mamma Mia! is on from 5 14 July with all shows at 6pm.

Finding Nemo Jr is on from 9 - 14 July. Tickets from www. theatreroyalnelson.co.nz

NOVUS GLASS: YOUR TRUSTED WINDSCREEN REPAIR EXPERTS IN STOKE

WE REPAIR

• Cracks • Headlamp Polish • Stone Chips • Windscreen Wipers • Windscreen Replacement FAST | GUARANTEED | CERTIFIED

Novus Glass is one of New Zealand’s leading windscreen repairers, and the team in Stoke has been looking after you, your family, and your business since 2020.

Franchise owners Sam and Michelle Harvey along with their amazing team have the right equipment and knowledge to handle almost any vehicle, from your 1980’s Toyota to your 2024 Porsche and beyond.

“We really like being able to help people, and a windscreen is something you don’t really think about until it needs fixing, and that’s where we come in. We like to make things as easy and straightforward as possible,” says Michelle.

The Novus philosophy is to “repair first, and replace when necessary,” meaning they will only replace a windscreen when it is not possible to repair the stone chips and/or cracks. This approach is better for the environment and quicker for the client, explains Michelle. Regarding the environment, for every repair or replacement done, Novus donates

to Trees That Count, helping to plant native trees around New Zealand. This initiative underscores their commitment to sustainability and community, with Novus having donated over 14,000 trees so far. In addition to windscreen repairs and replacements, Novus Glass also supplies windscreen wipers, headlight polishes, and other window consumables, ensuring that every aspect of your vehicle’s glass maintenance is covered.

Novus Glass works with all the leading insurance companies to process auto glass claims quickly and efficiently. The team is committed to creating a seamless experience from start to finish. Whether you’re dealing with a minor chip or a major crack, they understand the inconvenience it can cause and strive to provide fast, reliable service. “We know how stressful it can be to deal with vehicle issues, so we aim to make the repair process as stress-free as possible,” adds Michelle.

Remember, as soon as you notice it, Novus it!

HOME-BASED CHILDCARE - NURTURING AND EDUCATING THE FUTURE

T

he nurturing and provision of quality education and care is pivotal to the ethos of the team at a locally based childcare provider. Nurture@Home is a childcare service in the Nelson Tasman region that provides boutique early childhood care and education through a team of educators. Each Nurture@ Home Educator/Kaipoipoi work from their own home to create a positive, nurturing environment and a rich programme to support each child/tamaiti. Owner operator Janelle Gardiner strongly believes in the benefits children receive from one-on-one care. “Having a lower ratio educational setting is extremely important for a child’s development as research tells us that children learn best when in smaller group sizes. With Nurture@Home, we provide a more loving, calmer, and less stressful environment. I believe children really thrive in this setting. The children become an extension of our own whānau, and an educator can help to guide a child’s interests more closely, helping to raise a

more confident and happier child.” Instilled with a strong nurturing sense from a young age, Janelle Gardiner is a trained early childhood teacher, whose drive for quality and passion has helped her push through any challenges. “I have now been in the ECE sector for 30 years and in the home-based ECE sector for over 15 years.

Keeping up with strict and ever-changing regulations in the sector is a continual challenge”, says Janelle. “But it’s our ongoing passion for making a difference in the lives of children that keeps us going.

We believe Home is where the Heart is, and that the child is at the Heart of the matter.”

Licensed by the Ministry of Education the team are passionate about providing an active programme of activities full of rich learning experiences, which include weekly Playschools, NatureFocus sessions and regular outings within the local community, allowing lots of opportunities for children to explore, learn and socialise.

Bringing together new art society members PETER GIBBS I was recently invited to take part in an art exhibition with a pretty varied group.

SEVEN is an exhibition of new members of the Suter Art Society - those who have been accepted in the past year.

You don’t just join the Art Society. There are no secret handshakes, and you don’t have to ride a goat, but you do have to have an ability to create art in one media or another which measures up to a standard.

Standards are in the eye of the beholder of course, but our group of seven seems reasonably proficient.

Angela Herbert had 35 years away from art. Now she’s back, working in oils and drawing on a lifetime of nature, people, travel and intuition.

Intuition is very important to Angela - so much so that she’s writing a book about it.

A former police officer, she’s also strayed towards nature, working for DOC. A BSc in ecology, a diploma in herbal medicine and interest in staying fit and alive means Angela brings a huge range of experience to her paintings in this

Clare Wilcox, left, Peter Gibbs, Ronnie Baker, Virginia Watson and Tom Brooker will be joined by Glen Davenport and Angela Herbert for the exhibition SEVEN. Photo: Cathie Lindsey. exhibition.

As a former farm girl, Clare Wilcox has a strong connection to the land.

“As a child on a rural Southland farm I found solace in drawing and painting. As I grew older my passion for the arts deepened and I experimented with many techniques and mediums.

“Today I primarily work with acrylic and charcoal as I find they offer me the most versatility and

control over my creative story telling.”

Relaxation is important in creating a balance in Clare’s life and sailing forms an important part of the inspiration for her work.

Previously a weaver for over 30 years Glen Davenport’s introduction to pastel art provided both therapy and challenge following bereavement.

“An introduction to pastel art inspired me to join the Nelson

branch of the NZ Pastel Association. It not only gave me new friends, but their encouragement and teaching helped me to gain a wider knowledge and skill of this ancient medium.

Several of her pastels have been judged and accepted for national exhibition and artist membership of APANZ. I’m next on the alphabetical list (Peter Gibbs). Pottery and writing have been constant companions for me, one leading to another throughout my life.

My work in the joint exhibition is thrown stoneware pottery.

Ronnie Baker loves landscapes.

“It sounds like a cliché, but I’ve had the desire to draw and paint and create since before I can really remember.

“I would sit cross-legged on the floor, totally absorbed in a drawing until my neck was stiff and the drawing was as perfect as I thought I could make it.

“I’ve always been inspired by too many things really, and I’m enjoying the process of distilling that inspiration down into forms, colours and feelings in abstract works.”

I’ve heard of British artist Damien Hirst, but it wasn’t fully aware of his impact until I heard from

our sixth artist Tom Brooker and Googled Hirst.

Tom worked as a senior artist assistant for Hirst for 12 years, helping create photo realist paintings.

“After moving to New Zealand in May 2023 It wasn’t long before I was inspired to paint the iconic Kiwi bach and DOC camping huts.

“Back in London, I had recently been working on photo-realist paintings of slick mid-century modern architecture of Los Angeles. The contrast couldn’t be greater.”

Virginia Watson is at the end of the alphabetic list, but very much to the fore in energy.

“I ride bikes a lot, and my adventures take me close and personal to the places I paint.

“Nelson’s trails wind around the Waimea Estuary, home to the leggy, beaky shore birds that grace my canvas.

“Mountain biking the South Island backcountry inspires my exaggerated landscapes. It’s a mind game, reimagining the landscape while grinding up a big hill.”

Quadrangular glory for Nelson College JACK MALCOLM Nelson College’s dominance in first XV rugby this season cannot be put into question after last week.

Having won their fifth Quadrangular title in the last six years, the schoolboy team were red-hot as they put their best foot forward on the national stage.

With the games broadcast live to Sky Sport, the Nelson College team were in flying form as they dismantled the competition and put every other school in the country on notice.

First up was Wellington College, who came into the tournament with an unblemished 5-0 record in their regular weekend competition and walked away with a 47-0 loss.

Next up was Christ’s College in the final, who had a better time of it than Wellington but still went down convincingly in a 53-35 loss. Not only did that secure Nelson College the win in the oldest rugby competition in the Southern Hemisphere, but it showed no

The smiles couldn’t be wiped off faces as Nelson College earned Quadrangular glory yet again on the school’s front field, winning for the fifth time in six years. Photo: Chris Symes/Shuttersport. heights this team couldn’t climb.

Captained by Harry Inch in the 10 jersey, the team have been a goliath this season as they swat away any challenge they’re presented.

Having started the season with a rematch of last year’s final before

jumping straight into a rematch of last year’s semi-final the following weekend, the team has proven time and time again that they are a force to be reckoned with.

With no real weak link throughout the squad, it will be inter-

esting to see if anyone can slow down, let alone stop, the Nelson College freight train as it picks up speed. The only thing that seems like it might have a chance is the unexpected, like injury or illness.

With a fighting-fit team, it’s almost unimaginable that they

won’t come away with a win after the performances they’ve put in already this season.

Three more games stand between the team and the playoffs, with Nelson College all but guaranteed a spot as they sit on top of the table with a 6-0 record and 30 competition points.

But if anyone could topple the team, it could be this weekend as they face off in a top-of-the-table clash against St Thomas of Canterbury College (26 points).

With Christchurch Boys’ High School (25) and Christ’s College (21) rounding out the top four, Marlborough College (19) sits just outside the cut-off but still in with a chance.

With the performances they’ve already shown this season, Nelson College will be hungry for more than just a Miles Toyota Championship. Having won last year before losing in the South Island final, the squad will be eager to do at least one better and earn a place in the Top 4 playoffs to decide the best schoolboy team in the country.

Spreading his wings with American Eagles rugby coaching role JACK MALCOLM OUR LOCALS PICK THEIR WINNERS

Jono Phillips has been recruited to the coaching staff of the American men’s rugby team, the Eagles.

The head coach of Nelson College’s first XV flew out to Chicago in preparation for the American Eagles’ upcoming match against Romania on Friday.

He will serve as a technical adviser for both attack and defence, continuing with the team as they face Scotland in Washington DC the following weekend.

Beyond his current role, Jono’s connection with USA Rugby deepened last year when Nelson College became the pilot school for a new scholarship programme by the USA Rugby Foundation. The initiative was a success, with a young American player joining the school’s rugby programme, and this year, he and two other players returned for further involvement.

During his time with the Eagles, Jono will reunite with his former Wellington coaching partner and current United States assistant coach, Alama Ieremia.

Reflecting on the opportunity, Jono expressed excitement despite the imminent disbandment of Nelson College’s coaching group after this season.

Following the school’s fifth Quadrangular win in six years, Jono described the victory as the “highlight of my career”, although celebrations were brief with less than 48 hours between the Quadrangular Final and his international flight.

It’s a busy time for Jono, as he returns to town to complete the season with Nelson College before embarking on a yet to be confirmed next step in his coaching journey.

It all began in 1995, following a knee injury that ended his rugby career while in

Scotland which morphed into a role as a development officer for Scotland Rugby.

Jono’s coaching career took flight the following year as rugby turned professional.

With mentorship from British and Irish Lions coaches Sir Ian McGeechan and Jim Telfer, he quickly ascended through the national ranks to coach the country’s U19 side at the 1996 World Cup. He stayed in the Scottish programme, coaching the country’s U21 team until 2004 when he returned to New Zealand.

On his return, Jono joined the Hurricanes as high-performance manager and assistant coach, and also contributed significantly to school’s rugby programmess around the Wellington region. After a tenure in Taranaki, Jono relocated to Nelson in 2016, where he held an advisory role at Waimea Old Boys before with a fortuitous meeting with Peter Grigg and Nelson College’s then-principal Gary O’Shea set the stage for his latest chapter.

As for the book, the ending is yet to be written.

New Zealand’s U19 Coastal Rowing team were in town recently to train in the bay for the World Coastal Rowing Champs.

Head coach Brook Robertson, a Nelson old-boy, has jumped head first into the sport since giving it a go for the first time in 2022.

With Coastal Rowing included in the 2028 Olympic Games, the team may be the next generation of our national heroes on the world stage.

Brook was part of the Rowing New Zealand elite squad for 10 years, and rowed at the Olympic Games in 2016 and 2020, making his coastal rowing debut at the National Beach Sprint Champs hosted by Nelson Rowing Club

The New Zealand U19 Coastal Rowing team were all smiles as they trained in Nelson in June. Photo: Supplied. in 2022.

“Coastal is so much fun, I loved it from the very first race. After that first beach sprints here in Nelson I was keen to do more,” he says.

“At the 2022 World Coastal Champs in Wales, New Zealand took the silver medal in the mixed quad. I will never forget that medal ceremony – this is supposedly a sum-

mer sport, but that day in Wales it was hailing.”

The team’s assistant coach, Phil Knight, is also a local and says it’s exciting to see the coastal rowing programme picking up steam.

“We’re excited to see this U19 coastal crew developing. Despite all the rain. . .we had a great camp. There were some big swells out in the bay, and

the crews were whooping and laughing as they learned to catch the swell and enjoy the free speed.”

The team will be back in Nelson in mid-July for another training camp and will hold a fundraising dinner at Fairfield House on 20 July to assist the U19 crews to fund their trip. New Zealand’s ‘Pride of Picton’ Joe Sullivan is in the Open team to compete at World Coastal champs and is the guest speaker for the event.

As part of the dinner, the eight U19 athletes will also be involved as severs.

Stoke into semi-finals

hungry to get back in the winning column, but Central will be buoyed by their 71-21 win over Stoke the week before.

As the defending champions, Central have had a topsy-turvy season as they struggled with form through the midpoint before finding their legs again and putting in a raft of impressive results.

Meanwhile, Stoke have been the team that’s found themselves on the cusp of some big results after a slow start which

saw them lose three of their opening four games.

Wins over all of the other semi-finalists this season have them placed to snatch the title as a dark horse.

Stoke will need performances from their playmakers, with prop Matt Graham-Williams needing to anchor the scrum as the team continues to struggle to fill the front row in spite of injury and unavailability.

Nelson Suburbs keeper Amber McConnochiev had her work cut out for her in a 4-1 loss to Coastal Spirit as the team played their first South Island League game of the season at Saxton on Saturday. A lone goal to Katherine Beuker in the 80th minute was the silver lining on a tough first-up match for the team. Photo: Chris Symes/Shuttersport.

A massive 40 points from Dan Grida wasn’t enough for the NBS Nelson Giants as they fell victim to the Southland Sharks, 83-98. Just two games remain on the team’s regular season calendar as they sit on the cusp of a playoff spot.

Puzzle 2504

Stoke’s Mason Lund is an experienced number nine who provides the team with a strong platform to attack. Photo: Evan Barnes/Shuttersport.

SuDoKu 514 Medium

Stoke has what it takes to be a championship-winning side, but have an uphill semi-final task ahead of them if they want to lift the Tasman Trophy.

Having finished the regular season in third place, they booked a spot with Central to decide who will move into the winner-takes-all final.

The other semi-final of action this weekend sees the top-seeded Kahurangi take on Waimea Old Boys.

With both semi-finals played outside of Nelson, Kahurangi and Central would have to face an upset if it is not to be a rematch of last year’s final.

Having beaten Central 43-39 earlier in the season, the team will have a belief in themselves, but the trip may play a significant factor.

Stoke ended their regular season with back-to-back trips over the Whangamoas, which resulted in losses.

An uncharacteristic 38-31 defeat to Moutere will see them

Sporting Snippets

donald expected to suit up in the number two jersey, the men in blue have a formidable tight five.

Having played off the bench last weekend, Taine Robinson will also be an important factor if he takes the field for Stoke.

His massive boot and vision on attack have been key to the team’s success over the last few seasons. However, the team also didn’t start the year with Taine due to his duties with the Crusaders, and they were able to plug the gap left by his absence.

Central will have to be wary of the Stoke backline, with stars studded throughout.

Mason Lund is an experienced number nine who provides the team with a strong platform to attack with accurate passing, creating momentum.

Maloni Kunwave, in first five-eighth, has been a revelation for the team this season, looking to spark an attack almost every time he touches the ball.

Valued Team brings Wealth of Experience

Three years ago, Brendon and Rochelle Mathews first opened The Bike Station in central Nelson and today the vibrant, expanding business has fantastic stock and a passionate, experienced team.

Rochelle says contrary to what some may think, Ebikes aren’t a lazy option.

“Ours are pedal-electric, so you still have to pedal but you get assistance as

you need it, so they’re suited to anyone, including those with a medical condition.

“Using an E-bike allows me to get uphill quickly and ride for longer.

They’re great enablers. I can do a

Staff are a massive part of The Bike Station. “Without them, we wouldn’t be here today,” Rochelle says. From the outset, Brendon and Rochelle have been focussed on having high-quality staff and, because they all have significant experience with bikes, the couple have 100% faith in their ability to provide fantastic service.

Yohann, who is from the UK, says, “It’s been useful to experience how bike shops operate in other countries, including New Zealand.

I picked Nelson because of its awesome mountainbiking trails and The Bike Station had cool brands, a nice workshop and it’s a great place to work.” Meanwhile, two-time national track cycling champion and national record

holder Kaio, loves working at The Bike Station while teaching young bike enthusiasts (in schools) how to ride and it helps build up the local junior base.

Hunter, who has recently left college has been working fulltime at the store since November last year.

“I’ve done a lot of mountainbike racing, so my passion has inspired me to work here as a bike mechanic and be part of the mountainbiking community. It’s an awesome business and getting to work on bikes all day long is great.”

Lindsay, who has been with The Bike Station for just under two years, says he had been looking to get back into the bike industry as a mechanic after a stint in Whistler, Canada. “This is a nice place to work; a good bunch of guys. They have the same kind of passion that I have for mountainbiking, so it’s a no-brainer really.”

Finally, Sam began working for the business in December after moving from Auckland.

“I started as a customer and ended up working here; I love the team; we all get on well. It’s always a good sign of a great workplace
