ve Wilson and Ellie Horton-Bell make bracelets at the inaugural Rapahoe Market and Gala Day on Saturday. Rapahoe Domain was a picture for the family-fun event, which drew a good-sized crowd all day, with plenty of stalls and fun activities on offer. The day featured craft stalls, home baking, a sausage sizzle, market stalls and three-legged and egg and spoon races. The Kotuku Surf Life Saving Club was stationed at the beach, also giving market-goers the opportunity of a safe swim in the sea. PICTURE: Georgia O'Connor-Harding

Westport woman nominated for Tuia leadership
B
uller District Council Mayor Jamie Cleine has announced Kawatiri's Tuia candidate. The Tuia programme is a long term intergenerational approach to develop the leadership capacity of young Maori in communities throughout New Zealand Kawatiri (Westport) born, Ella Moore will start her at a wananga in Waikato early next month. The youth leadership programme seeks to weave people together well so that their collective contribution has a greater
positive impact on community. An intergenerational approach is applied to develop and enhance the way in which rangatahi Maori contribute to communities. Of Tainui descent, Ella lives in Westport and has a graphic design business as well as working at Buller District High School part-time as the Gateway co-ordinator. Mr Cleine said he would meet with Ella at least monthly to provide guidance and mentoring. "The aim is for the experience to be mutually beneficial by providing deeper

n by Claire Ward TRISH Saunders of Blacks Point has been doing yoga on and off for years and three years ago she went to Takaka three to train as a yoga teacher. Since then, she has been running classes on Wednesdays, first in her art studio in Bridge Street, and now in the Karate Dojo premises in Crampton Road where there is much more space. "Yoga can be as easy or as hard as one likes," Trish Saunders says. "You adapt individually for what is safe and right for your situation." She runs two classes on Wednesday, the first at 2pm and the second at 5.30pm. Both are Hatha yoga, which is gentle stretching and breathing. The evening class, which has just started again, is timed for people after work so they can get rid of the day's stress, then
insight into inter-generational issues, cultural values and experiences. "Ella is a perfect candidate and I look forward to mentoring her over the coming months." During her Tuia journey, Ella will do 100-hours of community service and attend five wananga with other Tuia participants, to build networks, obtain support, exposure to diversity. "I am very excited about the Tuia programme. It is an opportunity to grow and challenge myself," she said. Ella Moore with Buller Mayor Jamie Cleine.

go home and not have to go out again. "Yoga is great for anyone who may have an injury, as it's no surprise that physiotherapists do the same movements. And I love to see people keeping their balance and strength, and taking timeout for themselves because we function better when we take care of our own health." Men go to the yoga classes too. "Just the other day, a young man new to Reefton, saw the sign outside my art studio in Bridge Street, came in to join in one of my classes," Trish Saunders says. For a more aerobic yoga, there is Vinyasa yoga, which another yoga teacher, Justine Mitchell, takes on Tuesdays at 9.30am. "Everyone starts somewhere, so don't think you couldn't do yoga. For instance, you can use a wall for a balancing pose in the beginning."

Reflections of Greymouth milk

T
he old Greymouth milk treatment plant, Scenicland Milk and Cream, was closed with the Meadowfresh takeover in August 1997, relegating the local town milk supply to history. Today, in an unassuming shed behind the original treatment plant in Whall Street, a relic of the milk plant's 50-year history remains – a bore that drew springwater from the limestone to be bottled and sold. Nowadays the bore is capped and silent. Twenty-three years ago, fresh water was less appreciated as a commodity, but events
may have played out differently if the milk takeover had happened in modern times. Kevin Twist had been the manager at the milk treatment plant for 39 years when the closure came. "Nobody kicked up, nobody in Greymouth said a word, nowadays there'd be an uproar. Westport was shut too. There were five staff in the factory, three office girls and two tanker drivers. The tanker drivers were a couple of brothers from Barrytown, the Weirs, they took it in turns to do a week each," Mr Twist said. "The bore water came from four lengths of pipe, each 10ft long ... the well wasn't that deep, every now and then we'd have to pull

it out and clear the filter of gravel. "The bore serviced the milk plant and was tested weekly by the hospital laboratory. The old boiler room was pretty rough but the pipes brought the water into the building to run through infra red lighting before steamsterilising the equipment and packaging. It was used for washing too. We had two boilers and we would run one at a time. "Bottled water, well we had three sizes – 300ml, 500ml and 1 litre, the 500ml being very popular. We sold the majority of the water to areas downwards of Ross – the glacier tourists loved it. It had a picture of Coal Creek Falls on the label.
"We did flavoured milk too. We got the flavouring from Ashburton, it was a liquid. Meadowfresh used a powder but the liquid was better. PDL in Christchurch supplied our bottles but they sold to Auckland and of course that put the freight up. It happened before we closed so luckily I had a fair stock of bottles siting in the goods shed. "It was a freehold section but the last six farmers wanted rid of the factory, they wanted me to just keep going with the water," Mr Twist said. The bore today is covered with six inches of concrete, the milk treatment premises for sale again, and the spring largely forgotten.
Mother’s Natural Knee Support KORU NUTRITION
Tracy, an active gardener and mother, has always had an interest in natural health and nutrition. After suffering from a horse riding accident, Tracy knew first hand the immobilising restriction of not being able to use your joints properly. With this experience behind her and fully recovered, Tracy has been searching for a natural way to support her joints and cartilage. “I couldn’t imagine not being active. I mean, activity is what drives me. The accident was a real wake up call to the importance of mobility and the freedom it provides. Without our joints we don’t have much independence at all.” “I love gardening and want to do all I can to make sure I’m able to get outside on my terms. I’ve always been active. Always been able to lift weights and move about all the time.” “When I see others slowing down and being restricted it frightens me.” “After my accident, it was quite embarrassing, especially at work walking up the stairs. It truly drives home the importance of caring for our bodies now, and nourishing our joints, cartilage and muscles.” “I eat well, but I know that I could never eat enough of the specific nutrients that supplements provide.”

SUMMARY FINANCIAL REPORT Extracted from the group’s full financial report for the year ended 31 March 2020
CHAIR’S REPORT A more customer-centric organisation, a better communicator of the work we do, and better at telling the story behind our numbers. This is the commitment DWC has made in recent years to our West Coast community. It gives me great pleasure to present our Annual Report for the year ended 31 March 2020. Change is constant and disruption frequent, so it is vital to keep steady and focused on a chosen path. DWC has refreshed its internal strategic plan to ensure we as an organisation are aligned, committed and disciplined in our mission of ‘Growing Business to Grow the Coast’, of maintaining the real value of the Investment Fund, and being open-minded to opportunities to distribute funds on projects that will strengthen and support our economy. DWC’s direct investment into the West Coast economy has now reached $158.8m while still maintaining the Fund at $127.7m. This has all been achieved from an initial fund of $92m.
It is important that we maintain the real value of the Fund to ensure future generations on the Coast can benefit from continued distributions into the economy, and to ensure resources are available to assist in times of crisis, such as we have experienced with the COVID-19 pandemic. The true value of DWC to the region goes far beyond direct investment into the economy. DWC staff are working with more local businesses than ever before to build capability, as well as helping them access other capital and business opportunities. We are continuing to leverage the Fund to attract investment into the region. Over the last 4 years DWC has contributed around $250k towards feasibility studies, business cases and funding applications which have helped secure over $50m in central government funding for projects that will create jobs and strengthen resilience on the West Coast. Regional development is a massive task and a team effort. Working collaboratively and strengthening regional relationships is key to succeeding. DWC would like to thank all businesses and organisations that have partnered with us during the year. Thanks also to our West Coast Councils and Iwi for another productive year of collaboration. The West Coast has secured over $244m in government funding for projects through the Provincial Growth Fund and other recent funding streams, only made possible through working together. We greatly appreciate central government for this investment and their optimism in the West Coast Region. A review of the operations of DWC and the Trust Deed was undertaken in 2019. These reviews are undertaken intermittently ensuring the Deed is fit for purpose, and the governance and operations are appropriate and aligned to give the best effect to DWC’s objects. It is an extensive process and we thank all those stakeholders who contributed, including our Settlor, the Minister of
Finance Hon Grant Robertson who has signed off the review. This financial year saw a significant changing of the guard at DWC. In September 2019, Chris Mackenzie finished his tenure as Chief Executive after more than three years in the role. I sincerely thank Chris for the substantial contribution he made to DWC and to the West Coast. Trustees were delighted to announce the appointment of Heath Milne, a Coaster, and former General Manager of ANZCO Foods UK. Heath has brought with him extensive commercial skills and leadership acumen, which have been on full display during the COVID-19 crisis that unfolded shortly after his arrival. Although Heath did not commence his tenure until January 2020, DWC was fortunate to have a solid and committed team in place to ensure business as usual under the watch of interim Chief Executive, Mark Dawson. In January we also bid farewell to Mark after 16 years with DWC. I acknowledge the long service and commitment Mark gave to DWC in his role as Chief Financial Officer. Trustees farewelled Westland Trustee Hugh Little. Hugh contributed enormously to DWC for six years but chose to not re-stand in the 2019 local body elections held in October. The elections saw the re-election of Buller District Trustee Brent Oldham, myself for Grey District and newly elected Westland Trustee Chris Rea. Long-serving Independent Trustee Mark Lockington finished his tenure in January 2020 after 14 years’ service. The Institute of Chartered Accountants New Zealand appointee, Mark was an incredibly valuable member of the board and also the Finance and Audit Committee which he chaired for the past 12 years. The financial year ended with New Zealand going into lockdown on 26 March in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This unprecedented event has presented a major shock to our economy, businesses and wider community, and the region’s recovery will remain a focus of DWC for some time to come. I would really like to acknowledge how Heath and the DWC team came together, reacted quickly, put a plan in place and worked with key stakeholders to execute it when COVID-19 struck. The efforts the team has gone to in supporting businesses and the economic recovery is a testament to their hard work and commitment to the West Coast. I thank and acknowledge the Advisory Body for their ongoing sound, professional and independent advice. Sincere thanks to my fellow Trustees for their continued support, and for their contribution and dedication to DWC and the West Coast Region.
Renee Rooney, Chair
Independent Auditor’s Report To the readers of Development West Coast and Group’s Summary Financial Report for the year ended 31 March 2020 We have audited the Summary Financial Report (the Summary), which was derived from the audited statements in the annual report of the Development West Coast (DWC) and Group for the year ended 31 March 2020 on which we expressed an unmodified audit opinion in our report dated 16 February 2021. The Summary comprises the summary consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020, and summaries of the consolidated statement of financial performance, consolidated statement of comprehensive revenue and expense, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the notes to the summary financial statements that include accounting policies and other explanatory information. Opinion In our opinion, the information reported in the Summary complies with PBE FRS 43: Summary Financial Statements, and represents, fairly and consistently, the information regarding the major matters dealt with in the annual report. Basis of opinion The audit was conducted in accordance with the Auditor General’s Auditing Standards, which incorporate the International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). The Summary, and the audited financial statements from which they were derived, do not reflect the effects of events that occurred subsequent to our report dated 16 February 2021 on the audited statements. The Summary does not contain all the disclosures required for audited statements under generally accepted accounting practice in New Zealand. Reading the Summary, therefore, is not a substitute for reading the audited financial statements in the annual report of the group. The full annual report and our audit report thereon We expressed an unmodified audit opinion on the information we audited in the full annual report for the year ended 31 March 2020 in our auditor’s report dated 16 February 2021. Our auditor’s report on the full annual report also includes an emphasis of matter paragraph drawing attention to the disclosures about the impact of Covid 19 on DWC and Group as set out in the full annual report in notes 3.7(d) and 3.18 to the financial statements. We draw specific attention to the following matter due to the significant level of uncertainty caused by Covid 19. Note 12 on page 79 of the full annual report describes the increased uncertainty in estimating the fair value of DWC’s investment in unlisted managed funds. Responsibilities of the Trustees and the Auditor The Trustees are responsible for preparing the Summary in accordance with FRS 43: Summary Financial Statements. We are responsible for expressing an opinion on the summary, based on the procedures required by the Auditor General’s auditing standards and the International Standard on Auditing (New Zealand) 810: Engagements to Report on Summary Financial Statements. Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interest in, DWC or any of its subsidiaries.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S REPORT Stepping into the role of Chief Executive just two months before the end of the financial year offers the chance to freshly reflect on the performance of Development West Coast, what the organisation has achieved during the year and the change in direction it is taking.
The 2020 financial year saw an increase in operating expenses of $1.0m. This was largely related to the merging of the former Tourism West Coast with DWC, recruitment costs for key roles and additional external consulting expenses, such as conducting the PwC Trust Deed review.
The year saw a great deal of change at DWC, including the departure of Chief Executive, Chris Mackenzie in October 2019 and Chief Financial Officer, Mark Dawson in January 2020. Mark ably filled the role of acting Chief Executive prior to my arrival and I thank him for his valuable insights and assistance before his departure.
DWC succeeded in securing several projects through the Provincial Growth Fund during the year. These included $800k for digital hubs in the Grey and Westland districts and $2.1m for the PGF Te Ara Mahi West Coast Employment Scheme. Both projects are very relevant in the current climate and will be true enablers for economic development in coming years.
I joined the DWC team in January 2020 and was given the mandate from Trustees to implement the necessary changes for DWC to become a more effective organisation. The PwC review of operations and the Trust Deed was very useful in assessing where we were at. To complement this, I spent time engaging with internal and external stakeholders across the region. A survey of West Coast businesses and other stakeholders was also commissioned to gauge the perception of DWC. Valuable feedback from the survey contributed in part to internal changes to meet the needs of businesses, industry, and stakeholders. Key changes occurred within the business development team with roles being refocussed and replaced with Capability & Growth Advisors Key staff have also started to spend more time across the region. These changes led to several team members departing DWC and I want to thank them for their service. The 2019/2020 financial year sees DWC parent with total assets of $135.3m and total income for the year of $8.4m (excluding unrealised revenue). Our total operating expenses were $3.0m and DWC also invested $2.6m in community distributions and projects. The year ended with a net profit of $1.4m – ensuring DWC’s ability to continue investing in the region.
Through lockdown from 26 March through to the end of June 2020, DWC had direct business support contact with over 380 businesses. This support included facilitating expert advisory funding totalling $160,000 through the Regional Business Partner programme. 11 new West Coast businesses were also signed up as service providers, thereby keeping both the advice and revenue on the Coast. In collaboration with a number of other organisations, DWC established the West Coast COVID-19 Recovery Group in April 2020. Chaired by Rob Caldwell and secretariat services provided by the West Coast Regional Council, the Group was tasked with ensuring all options were considered and opportunities taken, at pace, during the crisis. As a vehicle for communication, the Group proved invaluable, particularly in the early stages as the situation evolved and various government support opportunities were announced on an almost daily basis. I acknowledge and thank the Group for their constructive and positive contribution throughout this recovery period. DWC’s Tourism Advisory Group, established in 2019 when the RTO functions of former Tourism West Coast were merged with DWC, was reviewed with the separate tourism governance structure deemed unnecessary in light of the establishment of a COVID Tourism
John Mackey Audit New Zealand, On behalf of the Auditor General, Christchurch, New Zealand, 25 February 2021
Recovery Group. Comprising the former board members of Tourism West Coast, the Tourism Advisory Group was disbanded in May 2020. I want to thank the former members for their guidance and contribution to the industry. Over the past year, DWC approved over 85 percent of commercial finance applications received, seeing over $3.5m allocated to businesses across the region. Trustees approved a temporary change to expedite DWC’s commercial finance process to enable financing of businesses experiencing cashflow issues as a result of COVID-19. Targeting businesses suffering in the short term but with a viable future, over $500,000 was distributed during April and May 2020, with further applications valued at over $460,000 in progress at 31 July 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on many businesses and individuals has been acute but it is heartening to also see much resilience and positivity. Opportunities are out there to improve the situation and the DWC team is well placed to facilitate taking the West Coast towards a positive future. Lastly, I want to thank the DWC Trustees for their support and guidance, and especially the operational team for their professionalism and dedication since my arrival.

Trans-Tasman baby search
T
his year, the Bonds Baby Search is crossing the ditch to New Zealand, so New Zealand bubs, bumps and fur-babies can be in the winning to share over $50,000 in prizes. The annual search is an inclusive celebration of babies aged 0 to 4 (plus baby bumps and pets) celebrating the weird, wacky and downright wonderful moments that make your bub, bump or fur-baby so special. Launching on February 4, the baby search, in its 17th year, makes 'every baby' the winner, celebrating the hilarious realities of parenting with 21-not-so-cutesy new categories that are more insightful, honest and true to the way babies really are, and all the ways we love them.
Gone is the 'Best Baby' category; making room for categories like 'Milk Drunk', 'Poop Face', 'Still Cooking' and 'Triple Chin', inviting parents, caregivers, mums and dads to-be, and pet owners to share the reality of family life with the world. Bonds head of marketing Karen Dwyer says: "We're really excited to welcome Kiwi babies, bumps and pets to this year's search! 2021 sees the evolution of our baby search programme to be our most inclusive year yet and we can't wait to see what New Zealand has to offer!" The 21 Bonds Baby Search winners will be announced on March 3 on the Bonds website. Enter your bubs, bumps and fur-babies for their chance to win at www.bonds.com.au/babysearch

A NEW West Coast-based children's book, The Visit to Granddad, has been launched, created by two Blackball residents, writer Paul Maunder and artist Jerry Fulford. The story, aimed at the senior primary and early secondary age group and particularly targeting boys, is set in Westland and Christchurch during the 1951 watersiders' dispute. The protagonist, Jack, lives with his parents on a small farm near Kokatahi. He is close to his maternal grandfather, an old Labour activist now living in Christchurch and supporting the wharfies. But Jack's father, still suffering from the trauma of war, is taking the farmers' side and refuses to let Jack have his usual school holiday visit to his granddad. Without telling his parents, Jack sets
off on his bike to Greymouth and with the help of a friendly guard, gets on the railcar to Christchurch, where he finds himself embroiled in the dispute. There's a gentle romance with Jackie, a Maori girl he helps with the leafleting. They are both arrested, and eventually his parents come around. Maunder said he loved the work of Michael Morpurgo and the way he placed children in historical settings. "So I thought I'd have a go. I've also admired the drawings of Jerry, so asked him to collaborate." It was published by Te Puawai Cooperative. The book is available from wheelers.co.nz or by e-mailing mail@tepuawai.co.nz. It may also be purchased at Paper Plus, the Left Bank Gallery or the Blackball General Store.

Free disposal of old fridges

T
he Buller District Council, Electro Services Ltd and Smart Environmental Ltd have signed an agreement to offer a free refrigerator disposal service. The agreement will enable residents to safely dispose of refrigerators at the Westport Transfer Station without charge. The initiative is the result of a resident contacting the council to explore options for the safe disposal of old fridges. Refrigerators hold coolant gases that pose a risk to the environment, humans and animals. Refrigerators collected for recycling in New Zealand need to have gas removed before they can be processed. This degassing is usually done
at council facilities or by dealers who take back refrigerators from their customers. In Buller, residents had to pay $92 for labour plus $9 degassing fee at the Westport Transfer Station for this service. Resident Frida Inta approached the council, triggering Electro Services Ltd, council and Smart Environmental to collaborate on a free degassing service in Buller. The council will supply a rainproof shelter at the transfer station where the fridges can be stored and degassed. Electro Services will provide staff who will safely degas the fridges when enough fridges are collected. Smart Environmental will cover the $9 charge fee for disposal.
Job done for Ahaura's 'Cranky' The new State highway 7 bridge across the Ahaura River in the central Grey Valley is on track for completion mid year, if not earlier. Last week the last of 35 beams was installed, a big milestone for the project and the hard-working crew. New Zealand Transport Agency programme manager Albert Chan said the last beam was landed by the HEB construction crew along with 'Cranky', their 280-tonne crawler crane. "In parallel with this, the crew also poured concrete to bridge deck four of seven in total. All in all, the project is coming along nicely." Once it is completed, the old bridge will be decommissioned, which could take through to August or September. PICTURE: NZ Transport Agency

Westport's secret garden
n by Rose O'Connor
N
The couple have held 15 weddings during their time at the gardens with over 200 guests at a recent one. Marquees are erected and caterers are used but the Rea's ensure the gardens are in pristine condition for the events. Both Jim and Kathleen are from well-established Westport families. Jim and his eight siblings grew up on O'Conor Home farm. Kathleen (nee Hale) and her five siblings grew up near the Buller Bridge, where her father owned Buller Bridge Joinery. "Neither of us have really moved far," Kathleen said. Jim is also from a richly talented artistic family, filled with painters, crafts people and musicians. Kathleen says that although she doesn't see herself as artistic, her sons say she creates artistic beauty through her gardens. "I love the formal rose garden, but I also love the native area. I like the textures of flaxes and grasses planted in the middle of flowers," she said. All of her siblings had their own gardens that their mother encouraged from a young age. "I've also create gardens wherever I have lived," Kathleen said. The accommodation side of the business has been badly hit by Covid. "We really mostly attract overseas guests who we tend to show around the district. We haven't really pushed it," Jim said. Although they have hosted garden clubs, horticultural societies and local organisations, this is their first 'open day.' They were pleased at the number of people who had taken the opportunity to tour the grounds and enjoy the tea, coffee and refreshments available. "We are happy to show locals through," Jim said.
estled beside the Buller River, just upstream of the Crossroads, is an unassuming bed and breakfast known as River Garden Retreat. However, the largely unknown gardens are fit for royalty and hours could be lost meandering around the five acres of grounds exploring and discovering gems of beauty hidden around every corner. I had passed that sign for years and wondered what lurked within. With great excitement I saw an open day advertised so with my reluctant 87-yearold mother in tow we embarked on the journey at the start of the Buller Gorge. What a treat! We arrived down that long driveway completely unaware of what lay ahead. Well, the outdoor seating area and lush foliage surrounding it, reminded me of my Rarotongan holiday paradise of old. Three guest suites overlooked the covered outdoor dining area off a veranda and balcony and a fourth nestled elsewhere. Which way were we to go first? We nearly needed a map but as we were later to learn, all paths eventually lead back to the main house and dining area. We passed beds of colourful poppies, a formal rose garden, (clearly there are no free roaming goats here), bridges, seats, fish ponds, archways, lush green trees and shrubs, flowers, overhanging foliage, stone walls, shelters, statues and views to simply die for. This in no way does justice to the poetic beauty that Kathleen Rea-Reynolds and Jim Rea have created in the 10 years they have owned the property. The view over the Buller River is unbelievable, especially from the 'lookout.' On this particularly day, two anglers could be spotted on the far bank adding to the magic of the place. It obviously helps that Jim is an engineer and has the diggers and equipment to make roads and tracks and lift the heavy rocks for landscaping. He also does the engineering and building of the various structures scattered throughout the gardens. In reality, this 'retiree' is far from retired. The couple bought the property from Noeline Biddulph, who built the house and accommodation in the early 1990s and established some gardens and a formal lawn area, with her late husband Robin. "They clearly envisaged what could be done here," Kathleen said. "They worked very hard especially considering the limitations they had in terms of the heavy work." The Reas employ a talented woman to help on the property for about 20 hours a week. "She is excellent and works well under Kathleen's direction," Jim said. "We have also had wonderful people who volunteer to come to the gardens to help because they are interested," Kathleen said. "We love it here. It gives me the energy to get out and about and do my daily physiotherapy," Kathleen said. "Kathleen is amazing in what she does about the place," Jim said.

incent Van Gogh, creator of the world famous series of paintings called 'Sunflowers' would be proud of the residents of Northern Buller who have opted into the 'Summer Sunflower Sensation' initiative organised by Torea Gallery and Studios Co-operative. The Co-op members
arranged the growing of 250 sunflower seedlings by Amy Jensen of Runanga. They were distributed last November along with many seeds. "We want people to grow sunflowers along the roadsides from Granity to Mokihinui. We just want to make people smile as they drive through," said organiser Belinda Girl. "It really is Belinda's 'baby!' said co-op member Mandy

Coleman. This is the second year the event has been held. "I'm seeing a lot more sunflowers around. We have received great feedback and more people were wanting seeds and asking to join the event," said Tania Hammond. "We are building on from last year. We want a lot of sunflowers around the place." Prizes will be allocated for various categories including
smallest, largest, tallest, ugliest and best dressed. Judging will be carried out by co-op members in late March to early April. The participants will be advised of the judging period via the Torea Gallery and Craft Shop Facebook page so any categories can be completed such as 'the best dressed.' So, with artists aplenty at the Torea Gallery Co-op, van Gogh might just be in for some tough competition.
