rtist Zasha Skye is proof that creative talent and hard work are a winning combination.

At 23-years-old and at the beginning of her art journey, Zasha is already making her mark on the local art scene.

With a maiden solo exhibition, two Raglan Arts Weekends and a joint exhibition with Kyoko Shirai under her palette, she is now spearheading a group exhibition at The Studeo in March.

“The Studeo Collective exhibition will be a special moment for the community to see what’s happening down in Cross Street and get a feel for how a collaboratively held space can work. All the artists’ works will be represented to show the breadth of talent here.”

Zasha joined Chris Meek’s The Studeo Gallery whānau at Cross Street a year ago, working alongside nine creatives, including taxidermist Annick Faubert, oil painter Lucy Galbraith and tattooist Ambro Art. “It’s a super supportive community here, and I think it's a good way to make sure you’re not isolating yourself, especially as an artist. It might just be a coffee morning discussion, even if it's on a very different topic, it definitely helps develop ideas and concepts.”

Born and bred in Raglan, Zasha’s dad is wellknown Heavy Lounging muso Cameron Olsen.

Now living in the Coromandel, her mum Kirsten Canelli worked as an early childhood educator in Raglan when Zasha was younger.

After being introduced to oil painting by her art teacher Kerry Aldridge at Raglan Area School, Zasha headed to Whitecliffe art school

in Auckland. Unable to study oil painting at the renowned art school, she left a year later.

“It's funny, I actually didn't do well in painting at Whitecliffe, but I did well in all of the other areas,” she laughs.

“When I left, I said to myself – if I just paint every day, I'm just going to keep going and see what happens.”

It has been three years since she left Whitecliffe and Zasha has continued to commit to her art on the daily. And it shows in her work, which has become more complex and sophisticated.

“What is important to me as an artist is when the audience connects to my work; that’s where the magic happens, and I know it’s a successful piece.

The moment the viewer can relate themselves to the painting and have an impression of the painting now in their subconscious,” she says.

She loves portraiture and her painting focuses on the female form and the intricate tonal range of skin colour. For the Raglan Arts Weekend, her work depicted women in water, but Zasha has moved the female form onto land for the March exhibition “My Arts Weekend work was super Monetinspired, and by the relationship of water holding memory. So, I wanted to carry that line of womanhood and take it into a different context.

I'm still in the developing process but it has more of a landscape and strong empowerment feeling.”

Studeo Collective Exhibition features the artworks of Zasha Skye, Chris Meek, Karin Bettley, Annick Faubert, Lucy Galbraith, Ambro Art, India Hendrikse, Anne Paar, and Katie Lowes.

Opening night is Friday 7 March, 6pm – all welcome. Exhibition open daily from 8-22 March, 9am-2pm.

aglan surfers made their mark at the first stop of the 2025 Billabong Grom Series presented by Oceanbridge, held at Mount Maunganui on Sunday, 26 January. Maya Mateja claimed victory in the Under-18 Girls Division, while Raglan’s Alani Morse and Indica Corcoran secured top finishes in the Under-16 Girls final.

Despite challenging northerly winds and a strong current, Mateja delivered an impressive performance, sealing her win with a 14.56-point heat total. Her final wave, a 7.73-point ride, secured her first-place finish. Mateja, who splits her time between Aotearoa and Mexico, has returned

for the summer competitions and showcased her talent against tough competition.

In the Under-16 Girls Division, Raglan’s Alani Morse bounced back from early losses at the National Championships to take the win. The final was a close battle, with Indi-Lee Ruddell (Whangārei) pushing Morse to the end. Raglan’s Indica Corcoran also made the podium, finishing in fourth place.

Raglan's strong presence continues with elite surfers like Billy Stairmand having previously come through the series, showcasing the deep talent pool emerging from Whaingaroa.

The Billabong Grom Series continues in Whangamatā (8-9 February) before wrapping up at Piha (22-23 February).

he Nikau Caves and Café, along with the surrounding farm, has been owned by Philip and Anne Woodward since 1976.

Philip, who has lived in the area since he was two, continues to work on the farm alongside one of their five children, Emily, who now leases the property.

Both Philip and Emily have impressive sheep-shearing records—Philip sheared 453 lambs on his 70th birthday (and still shears at 75!), while Emily held a 9-hour shearing record for 14 years.

The Woodwards opened the cave to the public in 1994 and as the business grew so did the need to have a dedicated centre to operate from. Their dreams for the café grew for many years before the first foundations were laid, and the café opened its doors in 2008.

Since then, their business has blossomed and offers fully guided cave tours, a 60 minute loop track bush walk leading to a waterfall just around the corner from the cafe, and includes informational signage and views of the bush, river, and farm. The café has delicious freshly baked food and coffee roasted onsite, with accommodation onsite for up to 12 people. The café operates from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm on weekdays (opening later at 10:30 am on Mondays) and from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm on weekends.

Ihub volunteers experience Nikau caves A group of enthusiastic iHub volunteers set off on a sunny Tuesday morning for the Nikau caves, located 65 kms northwest of Raglan, via the quiet back roads of Waingaro and State Highway 22. It took us about 1 hour 15 minutes to drive there, passing almost no traffic but encountering some curious sights along the way such as the piglets on the side of the road and turkeys in the middle of the road.

Our group of iHub volunteers split into two, the waterfall walkers and the cave explorers. Five of us set off on foot with our guide Athol to the caves via the farm.

The entrance to the caves was not obvious to see as we walked along the ridge in the paddocks, but as we dipped down into the beautiful nikau and fern bush, we immediately felt the refreshingly cool and naturally air-conditioned air flowing around us. Inside the cave, we were greeted with glow worms sparkling above us as we walked along the riverbed. Wearing helmets and with the aid of individual torches, we were able to explore each cave’s unique formations, stalactites, stalagmites, giant pillars, fine straws and flowing shawls, not touching but discovering with our eyes.

Some caves were so expansive, and the glow worms

seemed to be very high above us. The squeeze through a shelf and a short crawl along the riverbed was a little challenging but quickly over and forgotten with yet another beautiful cave in front of us. At the end of the cave experience, we popped out again into the bright sunshine and went to the farm once more.

It was incredible to look back down on the crease of the hillside, knowing we had just explored through its underground!

The entrance to the bush and waterfall loop walk is a couple of minutes drive from the cafe, starting from a small car park and bridge with signage. It is a stunning piece of bush in a QE II open space covenant, with lots of signage informing walkers of the names of trees, bush and birdlife. Be prepared to look out for the track markers along the way to follow the route. As we got closer to our destination, hearing the sounds of the stream below and eventually the waterfall was very enticing. On the hot day, we were pleased to get there and see the gorgeous water dropping over the limestone karst cliffs and sit in the shade. This would make a great spot for lunch. The bush walk up was undulating and uneven in places - wearing good walking shoes is recommended. It is a wonderful little part of the beautiful Waikaretu landscape.

After an easy walk back to the café, everyone tucked in to cold drinks, fresh coffees and tasty wholesome food from the café kitchen. The back decks of the café opened out onto the grass/picnic area and a gorgeous stream, a perfect place to relax and take in the tranquillity of the surrounding hills.

The Nikau Caves and the Waikaretu Waterfall walk offer an unforgettable experience—whether you’re looking for a half-day adventure, a full-day escape,

or a unique overnight stay surrounded by natural beauty.

i, I’m Alice Gironella, the face behind Rubix Architecture. I am from Guadeloupe, a tropical French Caribbean island where the ocean was basically my childhood playground.

I started surfing and bodyboarding at 12, and before long, I was competing professionally. Rip Curl sponsored me, and I managed to win first place in France and rank third in Europe - not bad for a 16 years old! This forged my competitive spirit and cultivated a relentless, driven approach to achieving anything.

At 17, I left my island home to chase waves around the world. Surfing wasn’t just a sport; it was my absolute passion. I studied architecture on Australia’s Gold Coast, where catching waves was my daily therapy. After the 2008 recession, the building company I designed for shut down and I lost my job. This opened a new door to travel to New Zealand, landing me in the breathtaking Milford Sound, surrounded by dramatic mountains and pristine rivers.

Wanaka introduced me to snow for the first time - what a magical experience! I quickly fell in love with snowboarding and its exhilarating rush.

But the ocean’s call was irresistible, which led me to Raglan.

8 | Raglan Chronicle Magazine Issue February 2025

In 2013, my partner and I purchased a rural section in Te Mata, sparking my passion for architecture again. Inspired by Mountain Karioi, the rolling sunny hills, and breathtaking ocean views, I envisioned a striking home perched atop the hills. Most of my inspiration comes from nature.

Living in a caravan on the undeveloped section for two years while saving for construction was exhausting, but the land continually fueled my creativity.

Eventually, we secured a loan and embarked on our building journey, choosing to manage the project ourselves with sustainability at its core. From milling timber beams to crafting cladding and joinery, we dedicated three years to this effort, enduring life in caravans and outdoor sheds fully off-grid. Finally, moving into our self-built home was a magical moment despite the challenges.

This makes you appreciate little things.

After design & construction of our second house project, and gaining a lot more experience working for other architects over the years, I decided to apply for my license and this lead me to establishing Rubix Architecture in 2019 to share my own creativity and knowledge.

Seven years later, with many satisfied clients, I am deeply grateful for this supportive community that loves my ideas, allowed me to design homes and express my creativity across Raglan and Waikato while staying connected to the waves I love. Thank you for the trust and support!

ox Cabins is now in their ninth year of business building cabins, tiny houses, and now consented modular homes from their permanent base in Raglan.

In that time they have delivered over 100 unique buildings across the North and South Island, to as far away as Invercargill and Kaitaia.

They have never built the same plan twice, as every project is custom designed and built to the client’s specifications and style.

It is this commitment to continual improvement in design, architecture, regulatory compliance, and community needs that Adam says sets Fox Cabins apart. In addition to their popular tiny home range, the company has also invested heavily into becoming specialists in the field of small- to medium-sized modular Council consented dwellings, with a large number of 40m2 – 85m2 projects either completed, presently

under construction, or in the immediate pipeline. “From remote on-site, off-grid builds, to choppering-in two fully completed units to Kawau Island with a Black Hawk Helicopter, we’re up for any challenge, because we’ve got the competence and depth of experience to really deliver when it counts – especially when it comes to dealing with the Council”.

Fox Cabins is made up of a team of skilled Licenced Builders and journeyman cabinet makers who have many years’ experience of building tiny homes. The company is a Registered Master Builders Association Company, and as the Director, Adam remains committed to best practice and continuing professional development, always looking for ways to improve systems, methods, and designs at the company.

showcasing the build and delivery of a 13.5M long version of the Everest XL tiny home.

Despite their modest dimensions, these homes present substantial opportunities, whether as a source of secondary income through high-end accommodation, a chic and low-maintenance holiday retreat, or the realization of your long-held dream for the perfect permanent residence.

N ATUR E TA LK WITH ROBZ A R E G U L A R S E R I E S W I T H R O B Z F R O M M E N T O R E D B Y N AT U R E .

R

obz Jones is the founder of Kura Taiao (soon to become 'Mentored by Nature') where he supports youth to deepen their connection to nature.

Robz will be contributing a small local nature-based segment in the Chronicle focusing on sharing skills and seasonal Nature observations in 2025. The Local Rag catches up with Robz to introduce him and his mahi to our readers.

Can you tell us about your experience as a nature mentor and the work you do?

I have worked as a Nature Connection Mentor for the past 8 or 9 years, mostly with kids but often running workshops for adults, and families too. It really varies from person to person what I do, as people’s needs and stories are always different; but I

guess in a way, it's like being a relationship counsellor, but the relationships you’re trying to strengthen are with the natural world, yourself, and exploring how the two interact.

Traditional craft and bushcraft have always played a big part in my work, but even that has always been more about the journey than the outcome/destination.

For example, traditional fire has always been a popular element of my bushcraft workshops. The type where you rub two sticks together to create an ember, which you place in a bundle of tinder and blow into a ball of flames.

Culturally, we’re programmed to aspire to ‘achieve’ an ember and we plough on towards that goal. But if we can let go of that need to reach an outcome, there’s so much to explore in the process. The

types of trees and where to find them (which ties into navigation, knowledge of place, soil types, etc), the shape and smell of smoke, the colour of the charred dust, the sound and vibration of the friction between the two sticks, the wind direction, moisture levels in the ground and air, and so on. When all these aspects enter our field of awareness, they all act as threads of connection, familiarity, and ultimately, neurologically speaking, become almost like friends. Imagine walking through every moment of your life, feeling like you have friends all around you. Because nature is always around you, and you have formed relationships with so many aspects of the natural world! Life changing!

When I work with kids, it's more about holding a nurturing space where they feel both safe and seen, from which they can explore these connections intuitively, and without any time limits or expectations. Nature has blessed us with a blueprint on how to develop these connections from a young age, so nature is really the mentor here. I just create the foundation and offer the support for the kids to find their way in this world.

You have also written books on the subject. Can you tell us about these?

I've written several articles and blogs, and am currently working on

two books but haven’t yet published anything (too busy working face to face with people).

What vision do you have for the regular series in the Chronicle and why do you think it is relevant to the Whaingaroa community ?

My vision for a monthly segment in the Chronicle is to provide our people with a narrative of the natural world they see before their eyes, every day.

Not even necessarily when they’re at the bush park or the beach, but just the nature that we encounter within our mundane day to day life. The weeds on our doorsteps, the clouds and winds above us, the birds in our garden, the stars and sun, etc. These parts of nature which are reaching out to us all the time, but we never had reason or time to reach back. I’m really hoping my writing can be a spark for people to start to wonder what that birdsong means, or why this weed only grows in the shady places, or why it always rains the day after that particular cloud.

But why is any of this important to know? Because we are living in a growing epidemic of loneliness, anxiety, stress, and all sorts of mental health struggles. And knowing that we have nature as a friend, a therapist and a teacher for the rest of our lives is such a blessing which can give comfort and joy to so many people.

RUBBISH R EVOLUTION: A M ATER NITY LE AVE M ISSION

I

n Whaingaroa, a local mother has spent six months battling plastic pollution, collecting 30kg of rubbish each week with her baby strapped to her chest. Despite community clean-ups, the tide of waste keeps rising, leaving individuals to shoulder the burden: In my hometown of Whaingaroa, I’ve spent six months on a mission to fight plastic pollution.

During my maternity leave, with my daughter strapped to me, I dedicated an hour every Monday to cleaning up the beaches, waging war on the tide of waste threatening to suffocate our shores. But my journey to becoming a guardian of the environment began long before my daughter’s arrival. Even before and during my pregnancy, I braved the elements collecting debris, but it wasn’t until my leave that I began documenting my efforts.

In a span of just a few hours each week, I amassed a staggering 30 kilograms of rubbish – a grim testament to the plastic pandemic and our society's throwaway culture. But my haul wasn't just composed of singleuse plastics; it was a heartbreaking collage of crumpled wrappers, forgotten toys and even more clothes.

Despite the incredible efforts of the Whaingaroa Environmental Centre and local businesses organising regular beach clean-ups, these actions alone aren’t enough to address the scale of the issue. As a result, individuals like me, along with a few others, are left to become unwitting foot soldiers in a battle we never signed up for, shouldering the burden of communal neglect, yet united by a shared sense of duty to protect our beloved Whaingaroa.

I call upon everyone who enjoys the beach and ocean to take home their rubbish, but also pick up what is not theirs if they see something. I also call upon the council to bolster its waste management infrastructure, providing more foresight, more bins, and implementing regular emptying schedules during peak seasons. They should also focus on picking up rubbish beyond what’s inside or around the bins. Alternatively, removing bins altogether— an approach that has proven effective in other towns— could encourage people to take responsibility for their waste and adopt a more sustainable mindset.

However, my disappointment extends beyond the council's shortcomings; fellow Raglanders, New Zealanders and tourists, too, bear their share of the blame.

Oblivious to the consequences of their carelessness, they

leave behind a trail of destruction that threatens the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.

For me, the path forward is clear: a multifaceted approach that prioritises education, personal responsibility, and governmental accountability. I believe that real change starts in our own homes, where we become role models and can teach future generations the importance of caring for the land and sea. It’s crucial that we also take a step back and think about the things we buy—what we purchase and how much we consume—and understand how these decisions affect the environment we are all a part of. By making more mindful choices, we can start to shift our collective impact and cultivate a deeper respect for the world around us. Further, encouraging tourists to adopt a 'leave no trace' mentality underscores the principle of individual accountability.

And, crucially, the council must step up its game.

In the quiet determination of a young mother and her baby nestled against her chest, we find a potent reminder of the power of one to effect change – one piece of rubbish at a time for a brighter tomorrow – one where our beaches are not battlegrounds but sanctuaries, preserved for generations yet to come.

Local lawyers you can count on for all of life’s changes.

M A R K DE CLIVE-LOWE R ETUR NS TO R AGL A N FOR A NIGHT OF M USIC & A RT

M

usical maverick Mark de Clive-Lowe seems an impossibility at first sight - juggling piano, synths, live sampling and beat making all on-the-fly, brought to life with a casual ease that's mind-boggling.

In his early 00's London years, the Japanese New Zealander helped evolve broken beat alongside 4Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Restless Soul and Nathan Haines, establishing himself as an undeniable voice in progressive electronic music. After a decade in London, then 15 years living in Los Angeles taking his blend of technology and beat-infused jazz around the globe, MdCL has embarked on his next life chapter now based in his motherland of Japan.

Equal parts jazz musician, composer and live production wizard, MdCL's sets are a treat for the listeners, the dancers, the progressives and the purists alike - as he casually erases the lines between genres and eras. Whether he's collaborating with the likes of Moodymann, Kenny Dope or DJ Spinna; remixing classic Blue Note Records in real time for the dance floor, on stage joined by the likes of Kamasi Washington, Harvey Mason or Eric Harland, improvising solo piano or creating live soundtracks to classic film material, MdCL is an artist in constant evolution, reaching for that next level.

Last time Mark came to Raglan was with English soul singer Omar back in 2018 for one of the infamous

Sunday sessions at The Yot Club. Anyone who was there to witness, knows that this event is one not to be slept on.

Also on the bill is local Japanese artist Kyoko Shirai bringing her colourful illustrations live on the night, alongside DJ support from Cian & Hudge.

ULO Presents: MARK de CLIVE-LOWE (Live from Japan) DJ Support from Hudge & Cian Live Art by Kyoko Shirai, Visuals by Tommee T SUNDAY 16th FEB THE YARD, VOLCOM LANE, RAGLAN, 8pm til late $20 presales available from www.undertheradar.co.nz (limited door sales on the night)

usic lovers are in for a treat as three talented acts prepare to take the stage at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre on Friday, 14th February 2025. Bringing a mix of folk, indie, and original compositions, this special evening promises a rich blend of storytelling and melody.

WilkieMac Duo Lynne Wilkins and Michael Mackinnon are inspired by songs that deliver on both melody and lyrics. WilkieMac will take you on a journey around the globe and spanning the centuries. Their repertoire will have you singing along, laughing out loud, tapping your feet; it will tug at the heartstrings, draw you along the path of whimsy, cast light into a corner, or reframe a well-loved old favourite.

Sebastienne Rischmüller Is the smiley girl you’ve probably gotten to know in the supermarket in town – but did you know she not only sings but writes her own music?

Writing about people and patterns and how she sees them – how they whirl and swirl in her world. Soulful tunes sung in spirals by a sunny soul.

Joe Wilson Performing his songs for over 10 years, local singer songwriter Joe Wilson creates heartfelt lyrics blended with sweet melodies that give a nostalgic feel to his songs. Wilson blends alt folk, indie and americana with a timeless 70’s style.

Live & Local Friday, 14th February 2025 Doors open 7pm – 7.30pm start Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart Street, Raglan $10 entry (over 16s)

s summer reaches its grand finale this March, Earth Beat Festival transforms Ātiu Creek Regional Park into a celebration that reminds us why festivals have been central to human wellbeing since ancient times.

Through music, art, dance, and genuine community connection, this gathering creates a village-like atmosphere where celebration becomes a pathway to wholeness.

While finding its home on the shores of the Kaipara, Earth Beat is lovingly crafted by a dedicated team, many of whom are based in Whaingaroa/Raglan.

From the youth stage energised

by Raglan's emerging talents to the marketplace featuring many of our local artisans and food vendors, the festival embodies the conscious, communityminded ethos that makes Whaingaroa special.

"Earth Beat is real and unpolished - that's what makes it special," shares festival cofounder Sina Saffari. "During the day, it's all about families enjoying the sun and each other's company. Then as night falls, the festival comes alive with endless possibilities - from high-energy dance floors and experimental sounds to intimate fireside conversations where lasting friendships begin." This authentic spirit flows through four distinct music stages, offering everything from morning classical cello and acoustic folk to evening electronic beats and reggae. The comedy and poetry nights at The Barn add yet another dimension to the festival's rich tapestry of entertainment.

Behind every aspect of Earth Beat, you'll find people giving their hearts to create something special. Teenagers run sound checks on the youth stage, veteran volunteers welcome newcomers like old friends, and children discover their own magical world of games and creativity. This volunteer-run, not-for-profit festival thrives on a beautiful simplicity - when everyone contributes with care for one another, something extraordinary emerges.

By day, the festival pulses with creative energy - hands weaving in craft workshops, minds expanding in inspiring documentaries and conversations that matter. As the balmy afternoon sun softens into evening, fire dancers emerge, art installations begin to glow, and music carries party people into the night's adventures.

The stunning natural amphitheater of Ātiu Creek provides the perfect backdrop, with views stretching across the Kaipara Harbour. True to its values, Earth Beat maintains a strong commitment to leaving no trace on this precious landscape, with festival-goers bringing their own plates and cups to support this mission.

Earth Beat Festival runs March 19-23, 2025. Kids under 14 are free. Tickets are available now, with family packages, youth and seniors prices ensuring this unique celebration remains accessible to all. While the festival flourishes in the natural amphitheater of the Kaipara, its vision continues to be shaped by the founders and many of the contributors who call Whaingaroa home.

s anyone else completely broke?

Every year, no matter how clever I am squirreling away cash for the RIDE that is; Christmas, New Year, Ice-Cream money all wrapped up in the big bow of School-Holidays, served up with a drizzle of no-one working for a month … I still find myself scooping out big chunks of savings to get to this time of year and keep food on the table for my tribe of small humans.

And the dog. Woof.

Granted, I can’t be the only one feeling the pinch, and with us officially in the realm of recession, I will be kind to your wallets in the first of a new series for The Chronicle called Places to be with the Little Ones.

Over the course of the next few months I will share some amazing finds that are local-ish to Raglan on the off-chance it inspires another person to dig out a wetsuit, a bucket, a bike and a towel and head off in search of adventure.

If there is one thing that can be hard when looking after or parenting small children, it's having the energy and capacity to go somewhere new and to leave our comfort zones. This new series is designed to take that step for you and share the bounty of the ‘low-hanging

fruit’ of awesome things to do to ‘fill the family cup’ and energise you all.

First Up - we are staying in Whaingaroa Raglan 1. Rock pool exploration low tide Ngarunui Beach: I’m a ‘wetsuit mum’ because it means we can play longer. Of course your kids will be fine in togs but wetsuits give a group of kids extra-time to sit, to explore, to chat, to play, because it keeps them warm.

I highly recommend adding this to your kit if you don’t already have one. There are amazing wetsuits at Raglan Surf Co that can get passed down through the generations of Raglan kids. Check the tide, look for a lovely low tide, and head to the rock pools to the left of the ‘big hill’ going down to Ngarunui Beach. When walking back up the hill encourage the little ones to take little steps, “walk like a bird,” make the smallest steps possible. If they look at their feet and have fun being birds then they might make it back to the top of the hill all by themselves!

2. Wainui Bush Reserve: The challenge here is to stay for a long time. So pack a picnic and explore. You can draw your own maps of the bush park with its winding pathways, you can see places where others go eeling or build dens, and you

can do the hike to the TOP and have a picnic looking at the ocean. You can get another adult to drop you off at Wainui Bush and then pick you all up at the Top. This ‘drop off-pick up’ hack gives little people the experience of travelling really far and having a big experience.

3. Hike Karioi.

Before you think of the reasons why you can’t do this I want to give you an amazing learning from my baby years parenting; you do not have to FINISH everything.

You can start a hike and not aim for the summit. Walking Karioi is a wonderful experience, parking the car on the Ruapuke side then walking through the fields to where the easy walk starts; to get to the rooty and steeper parts is such a massive adventure for little people. As they get older you can go a little bit further, and one day you will get to the top.

Stacking these local experiences and stacking the intensity is a great way to prepare kids for wider travel and adventure. Not only does it help us adults stay fit and healthy it makes the most of what is available on our doorstep and it’s $free.

CROSS LE A SES & L A ND COVEN A NTS CHECK OUT THESE FAQS W I T H G I N A J A N S E N L AW Y E R S

D

o you have a cross-lease property and are being asked by your cross-lease neighbour(s) for your consent to do structural alterations to their dwelling or additions to their property? Can you refuse consent? Do you have a fee simple property with land covenants/easements that restrict the use of your land? Can you have these removed?

neighbours must reasonably believe that the proposed work would injure their interest in the property.

I have a Restrictive Land Covenant on my Title. Can it be removed?

Where your title has restrictive land covenants, or easements, i.e. your use of your land is restricted, owners may be unknowingly in breach. A land covenant is a private agreement, binding all future owners, to do, or not do, a thing in respect of the land. Restrictions can include: height restrictions on buildings, the use of specific building materials/designs and using a residential property for commercial use, for example hosting accommodation such as Air BNBs. Easements typically give rights over land in relation to access, water, electricity and telecommunications. Where a covenant/easement is no longer relevant, it can potentially be removed.

What are my obligations under the cross-lease?

Most cross-leases include a covenant that a cross-lease neighbour must first obtain the written consent of all other cross-lease property owners before making any alterations to their property, or additions to common areas, with the proviso that consent cannot be unreasonably withheld.

If the lease is silent on this, cross-lease property owners may still be prevented from unreasonably withholding or delaying their consent under the Property Law Act 2007.

Interestingly, the cross-lease document itself does not define what is unreasonable.

When can I refuse to give my consent?

The leading authority on refusal is a 30-year-old case called Smallfield v Brown where the Court held that a balancing of the interests of both parties is required to determine whether the withholding of consent by one owner is unreasonable. The Court held that consent is unreasonably withheld only where the proposed alterations would produce a substantial benefit to the cross-lease property owner seeking alterations to their property, but amounts to a trifling detriment to the refusing cross-lease neighbour. Smallfield set the bar very high; a “mere trifling

How do I Remove a Land Covenant or Easement?

detriment” test allows a neighbour to withhold consent to proposed works even though there was little material detriment to them. However subsequent cases in New Zealand have determined that this approach is not correct.

A cross-lease neighbour is only required to act reasonably, including when taking into account their own concerns with the potential to make it easier for a cross-lease owner to make structural alterations; they no longer need to show a substantial benefit to themselves, and the party whose consent is required cannot refuse simply because it has a mere trifling impact on them. Rather, the consenting

Given land covenants and easements are contracts relating to land, on application the Court may modify, or remove a land covenant or easement if satisfied there is good reason that all specific requirements have been met, for example a change to the property use, character of the neighbourhood, or the restrictions are no longer reasonable. Local territorial authorities may need to be included. Each application will be assessed on its own facts. As land covenants and easements can restrict a land owner’s use of their own property, it is vital that thorough due diligence is undertaken before purchasing, building or renovating.
