Loophole sees machete attacker walk free
EXCLUSIVE Charles Anderson Whenever Mark Watts reaches up to touch the top of his head, he feels the impact of when a woman brought down a machete on his skull, leaving him in intensive care fighting for his life. It is an indentation that caused his brain to swell, leading him to be flown by rescue helicopter to Nelson Hospital. If the strike had buried any deeper, Mark would be dead. The Stoke resident never expected the woman to attack him two years ago. “It came out of nowhere.” But 10 months after the accident he also never expected the woman to walk free from the justice and the healthcare system
after she was deemed unfit to stand trial. It turned out, she herself was the victim of a traumatic brain injury that led her to act violently. But there was nowhere for her to go to. “When the person was released, my victim impact statement may as well have gone on the fire,” Mark says. “The law needs to change, it doesn’t matter who the perpetrator is, the victim should have rights too.” Mark recently presented evidence to the Rights for Victims of Insane Offenders Bill which seeks to change the formal finding of the court to provide victims with the acknowledgment that the offender was proven to have acted grievously, even if they lacked the intent to be guilty of the action.

“Definitely. I love books and think it will be great for the community.”
“It’s a lot of money for a library. There are other things it could be spent on. Clean water is more important. The library we have is fairly flash, no need for an upgrade.”
“I don’t know enough about it to support it or not, but that is a lot of money for a library when there is already one built.”

Mark acknowledges that the attack was not the perpetrator’s fault but says he needed to be heard. “You need to say your thing. The quieter victims stay, the less chance there is of things changing.” In court documents seen by the Nelson Weekly, it was deemed by the judge that the perpetrator did not meet the threshold to have a “mental disorder” so could not be treated under the Mental Health Act. There was also no secure facility that could cater to her, which the judge said was “lamentable”. She was not fit to plea, so he said he had no choice but to release her into the community.
“The road ahead for you is not an easy one. I know there is a dearth of medical facilities available to assist you … you are going back to a relatively small community and it is important that you all try and live in peace as best you can.” Nelson-based list MP Nick Smith, who sat on the hearings panel for the law change, says that the unusual feature of this case was that the alleged perpetrator was released without any constraint. This, he says, is a “terrible injustice”. “Mark’s case is a terrible injustice that exposes a loophole in our justice system.” He says it also highlights the need for reform in the interaction between justice and mental health laws. It is the third local case
used to highlight where the current system was failing. However, the extra concern in Mark’s case was that the offender was released without condition and then went on to commit further offending. “My worry is that if we don’t fix these laws someone will be killed.” He says the fix required is that if a person is unfit to plea or not guilty by insanity, it should not matter if that is caused by head injury, a mental illness or intellectual disability. “The judge must have the power to impose conditions for their treatment.” The bill is currently before the justice select committee and Nick hopes that a law change will be able to be pushed through this year.

Dancing for a Cause left $8k out of pocket Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
A much-loved charitable event that raises more than $100,000 for Nelson Tasman Hospice has been caught $8000 out of pocket after its ticketing agent went under. NBS Dancing for a Cause organiser Emma Silke-French was “gutted” to discover that thousands of dollars in tickets they had sold for their fundraising extravaganza would never be recovered. They sold about $8000 worth of tickets last year before they had to cancel the event due to Covid-19. “But we were always going to honour those tickets,” Emma says. However, when she started liaising with the ticket agent, things went quiet. It turned out that Ticket Rocket went into liquidation last year, owing more than 1500 creditors more than $8 million. Included in them are sporting organisations, councils and government departments and ministries such as the Ministry of Social Development, New Zealand Post as well as smaller events around Nelson. Emma says, thankfully, the

Emma hoped that the event could raise more money than last years $110,000. “But with Covid and now this we are up against it. We don’t promise hospice an amount, but they are still trying to look after people in very hard times of their lives.” Emma says a year on from the
original event, the team are still excited about putting on a show. “For me it has been a long slog but it’s going to be such an awesome show and we have all worked so hard.” The receivers say they have been ignored by Ticket Rocket's director Matthew Davey since they had initial correspondence with him. ''...the Director has not responded to our recent requests for information, which has been disruptive to the receivership process,'' the report said. He is understood to have returned to Canada. Tickets are still available for the May 1 event at the Trafalgar Centre at www.dancingforacause.co.nz

The Mahitahi Precinct plans are a framework for a project that will evolve over time that is built largely on Wakatū land, which it has owned since its inception in the 1970s. “In the history of Wakatū it’s always been pretty important land. Going back to pre-European times that was the mouth of the river – it was a critical area," Iain says. One of the biggest developments will be a new library, which council voted to progress to take to consultation last week. That could see a $44.4 million library redevelopment proposal as part of its Long Term Plan. The new library would be twostoreys with a 3250m² floor area as well as a 5-star Green star rating, meaning it would use sustainable materials and designed for passive heating/ cooling and reduced energy costs. It would have a lifespan of more than 100 years. Council voted to include the library for public

Image: NCC. consultation in the 2021-2031 Long Term Plan, and a business case will be brought to council for final approval. “We take a fairly long view of things,” says Iain. Wakatū’s ‘Te Pae Tawhiti’ is its 500-year intergenerational plan that establishes the guiding vision for its future.
“Obviously it’s difficult to do that if we don’t take into account the changes that might come down the road, and the big one is climate change … we can sit here and not think about it and hope for the best or we can look at some of the problems and ask how we might generate solutions.”
To that end, the precinct also factors in a 'Climatorium' - or climate research and education hub. This would be a space for scientific communities, local and regional government, and the wider community to come together to develop innovative climate solutions.
Iain says that Wakatū have also done extensive modelling of water level rise in the area as well as other work done by Tonkin and Taylor. He says that, while the site is close to the river, it is actually quite high, and will cope for a worst-case scenario sea level rise that might occur in 2130. The site would also feature buildings that can cope with 2m high sea level rise. He says something that was less well-modelled was potential seismic activity. However, all buildings will reflect earthquake risk in the area. Iain says that there are about six or seven projects that will develop over the years and will be ‘market driven’. That included a rethinking of the current Countdown supermarket. Those tenants have no plans to move on, but Iain says in time they will want to create something more intensive in that space, rather than a big box store. “I don’t think [the precinct] will ever be finished but will be a constant round of improving and seeing what built environments are required.”

Plugging our youth Doggo regos set to rise again measles jab gap Kate Russell
Charles Anderson Editor
charles@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Nelson Marlborough Health is ramping up efforts to find young people in the region who may have missed out on the measles vaccine. According to the health board’s data there are 8500 people between the ages of 15 and 30 across the Top of the South, however it’s not clear how many of them are still needing to get vaccinated for the disease. “There are many people in that age group that missed out on those childhood vaccinations for a whole lot of different reasons,” says associate director of nursing Jill Clendon. “They have slipped through the gaps.” So, the health board is instead advocating anyone in that age group who is unsure if they had the MMR vaccine to come in, just in case. “We would rather have people get it than miss out,” Jill says. “If you don’t know, it’s best to get immunised. It’s safe to have an extra dose of the vaccine.” The vaccine is free and protects against measles, mumps and rubella. Last year, 2000 Kiwis got sick from measles and 700 of them needed to be hospitalised.
The symptoms of measles start with little white spots in the mouth which develops into respiratory illness. But the consequences can be serious as it can cause swelling on the brain and other conditions that can be fatal. “We are targeting everybody,” Jill says. She says that measles is highly contagious. If you have one person that catches the disease they will likely spread it to 12-18 others. Covid-19, on the other hand, will only be spread to an average of two people. Jill says we need 95 percent of people to be immune to reach ‘community immunity’, sometimes known as ‘herd immunity’ and help stop future outbreaks. “It’s a challenge. It’s really hard to engage people in this age group. Getting them in the doors is really tough. But the vaccine is free and easy and is going to be protecting not only yourself but your mates.” It is available at GP clinics, at pharmacies, schools and at pop-up clinics around the region. Health staff will also be going into some businesses to administer the vaccine.

After receiving 80 complaints about last year’s dog registration increase, Nelson City Council is proposing to hike fees again in 2021 to $97 - the most expensive in the Top of the South. Last year, council scrapped its Good Dog Owner policy, resulting in a 45 per cent increase in registration fees for some owners. Good dog owners paid just $66.20 in 2019 - this went up to $95.80 last year, and in June it will likely rise to $97. The Good Dog Owner policy was introduced in 2013 and offered a reduced registration fee for those who had no more than one minor complaint, contained their pet on their property, complied with welfare

and advertising of dog-related issues, dog patrols, resourcing dog training programmes, public doggy poo bags in parks and running the animal shelter, among other things.” Meanwhile, Tasman District Council is not proposing to increase fees - they will stay at $50 for urban dogs and $30 for rural dogs, subject to confirmation following a public consultation process next month. Marlborough District Council are not expecting theirs to change either, according to communications manager, Glyn Walters. Their fees are currently $60 for a responsible dog owner, $90 for a standard dog, $20 for a working dog and $45 for an old dog.

standards and paid their fees on time. Council removed the scheme because it was ‘costly’ to administer and implement, and they wanted to equally share the costs of dog control services across all owners. In an environment and climate committee meeting last week, a report stated that income from current dog registrations and other charges are on track to recover 90 per cent of costs. But, group manager environmental management Clare Barton, says this year’s fee increase reflects the Consumer’s Price Index of 1.4 per cent inflation and helps ensure the cost of providing services to dog owners is reflected in the fees. “These fees cover services like dog control, providing signage

Call to allow more pets in rentals Kate Russell There’s only one thing preventing Cheyelle Minhinnick from finding a rental property - her dog. The 20-year-old has “constantly” been applying for properties since October last year, in what is an already tight rental market. “But, as soon as I mention my dog, they pretty much just turn me down.” Despite the 11-month-old mixed breed pup’s unusual name, Cheyelle says ‘Winfield Red (Bones)’ is the dream tenant. “He’s got huntaway in him, and they’re usually quite boisterous, but he is the most relaxed dog I’ve met. He pretty much just sleeps all the time,” says Cheyelle.

“He’s my world. He just wants to be where I am all the time.” Cheyelle says she and her partner are responsible dog owners. “We’re quiet people - that’s why it’s so frustrating to have this issue. I’ve talked to a few organisations about public housing, but yet again, with a dog, it makes things a lot harder.” They are even considering a move to Marlborough or the West Coast if they can’t find a rental in Nelson. As of Monday morning, there were 92 rental properties available in Nelson on Trade Me and 29 of these state that ‘pets are okay’. However, in the fine print, most of these will only consider a cat, not a dog. Another Nelson pet owner, Anne McGrath, is also frustrated by the lack of pet friendly rentals in Nelson. She is also concerned about the increasing number of pets being listed for rehoming on Facebook. “Landlords are not giving tenants a chance. There are landlords who allow pets, but they are few and far between.” Anne, 59, is currently looking for a rental for her and her chihuahua and admits the situation has affected her mental health. “I've had many a night where I

I honestly fear I will have to live in my car, as I won’t give up my fur baby.” She would like to see the Government introduce a pet bond or create a database of good pet owning tenants. “Landlords need to realise that not all pet owners are bad pet owners. With the right research, they can find good pet owning tenants.” Property management general
manager for Summit, Stewart Henry, says ultimately, the decision comes down to the property owners. “Usually, it’s a case-by-case situation. The main concerns people have with dogs, are if it will make a mess in the garden or leave fur in the carpet. Or, they might have had a problem in the past.” Juliet Robinson, business owner at Quinovic Nelson, agrees. “We have a reasonable array of properties that accept pets and we often go to bat for pet owners. We will always have that discussion
with the client, but ultimately, it’s the owner’s decision.” Meanwhile, Cheyelle encourages landlords to change their opinions of pet owners. “Instead of turning people down when they mention they have a pet, maybe commit to having a proper conversation and meet the animal and the person, to get a feel for what they are truly like. “And, to pet owners, don’t give up.” If you know of any rental properties available for Cheyelle or Anne, email kate@nelsonweekly.co.nz

Erin Bradnock Following a frightening mountainbiking accident that saw a family friend airlifted out by Nelson Marlborough Rescue Helicopters, 11-year-old Charlotte Hamilton knew just how she could raise a sizable donation. It was at the tail end of a friends and family camping trip that a group mountainbiking trip ended with a scary incident on Nelson’s anniversary weekend. Family friend Brent Cooke came off his bike and the rescue helicopter had to be called in. Brent was left with a chipped bone in his wrist, torn muscles between his ribs and a head injury that kept him in hospital for a few days following. Brent’s wife and nurse Nicky Cooke says he’s recovering well but is itching to get back out riding again. “He’s not one to enjoy sitting around all day,” she says. Nicky says Charlotte was the youngest one out on the biking trip. “I’m sure she would have found it all quite scary, but she coped quite well and even managed to make something great out of it,” she says. A swear jar was already put into place at the camping trip in Pohara by Charlotte days before the accident. But following Brent’s fall everyone was more eager to donate as Charlotte knew exactly what to do with the $793.20 raised.
“My dad was on speaker-phone at the start of the trip to some of his friends and I could hear the guys swearing so I joked ‘don’t you know we have just started a swear jar?’”, Charlotte says. At first, the swear jar was just a bit of fun for the 20-odd campers who attended the camping trip. The group have been getting together for 25 years, according to Nicky. The swearing toll began at 50 cents a swear and, before the accident, there was just about $150 raised. Despite her mum’s shock, Charlotte did admit that she “knew a lot of those words already”. It was after Brent’s accident that the group decided to just keep donating. More than half the donations came from Brent’s own family. Nicky says the family is truly grateful for the support from friends and the assistance from the rescue helicopter. Charlotte says the swear jar and donations for the rescue helicopter team will continue as a tradition in camping trips to come.

Organising a cohort of more than 500 volunteers for the Nelson Tasman Hospice is no easy task, but Krisca Gould thrives on the challenge. “Every volunteer role is important - be it helping with patients, in our shops, admin work or gardening all those things result back to the level of care we can give.” In fact, there are around 40 different ways people can give their time within the organisation. Krisca says they average 220 250 patients in the community at any one time and because the organisation is only 52 per cent supported by the Government, the rest of their funds need to be raised. “It’s really quite lovely how our volunteers come to that need. One of our fundraising volunteers has been helping us for 30 years.” Hospice even has volunteers who offer a hairdressing service to people in their homes. “And that’s so lovely, because some
of our patients in the community are not able to go to a salon or a barber. “These volunteers, what they do for us, is extend our reach. They help us to free up our hands. Sometimes a patient may just need an ear or somebody to read the paper with them.” The organisation is one that is special to Krisca. “I utilised hospice in the United States for my father. It really is something I feel is so integral to the community.” Krisca says she would love to get more men volunteering for the organisation and will be at the Nelson Connects Volunteer Expo on March 6, from 10am - 2pm, at the Annesbrook Community Church to answer any questions. “We don’t have a lot of males and I’m trying to encourage that, especially working with patients.” She says the expo is also a great opportunity for community exposure and to network with other organisations. “There are a lot of benefits to the event. It’s a one-stop shop for any person looking to volunteer.”

Ciderfest moves north Jonty Dine
After five years of delighting local cider lovers, the New Zealand Cider Festival is moving to Hawke's Bay for 2021. However, the festival will return to Nelson in 2022 with locations set to alternate between the two provinces. Director Shelley Haring says the move has always been on the cards. “It was in the long-term planning after five years and we have worked closely with the cider association to make it happen.” Shelley says the decision has been made purely based on number of cider makers in Hawke’s Bay. She says the news has been met with some negative feedback from locals. Shelley says the reason they have been able to expand the festival to the North Island is due to how much the locals got behind it. “Nelsonians’ support created this festival.” Shelley is hopeful many South
Islanders will make the trip north in November. Event founder Ali Lawley says that events like this rely on the financial support of their local council and regional development agency as well as industry sponsors.
“It is nice to know people are passionate and love the event, we hope we get that support again down here.” "If funding is not forthcoming then event organisers do not have sufficient money to run the event themselves." The news was met with some dismay online with many voicing their concern at the move north. "So not fair," said Leonie ClimoBanks. "Nelson gets everything taken away. Don't take this too."
GENERATIONS OF NELSON Brought to you by Marsden House Hostelries Thrive in Depression
Nelson’s business world was badly depressed in 1843 and 1844. While many small businesses went to the wall, well-heeled developers and shipping agents thrived. Alongside these businesses, the liquor trade also thrived although initially without licenses. The
magistrate, H.A. Thompson, quickly issued eight licenses and a year later six more. Nelson had thirteen hostelries to Motueka’s one, servicing in total about 5000 residents in the district. Some offered entertainment and accommodation, while others just grog!

Hero wedding guests save men from sinking boat Kelly Makiha Rotorua's Jason McMillan and his mates heard the sound of a boat crashing in the darkness of the night, then the horrible noise of a revving engine that was clearly in trouble. Two of them acted quickly, broke into a boat shed, stole a kayak and paddled into the darkness to help. The drama unfolded on Friday night when Jason was staying at a Marlborough Sounds resort for a wedding he was to be a groomsman at the next day. He and a few of the bridal party and other guests were "a few beers in" when they heard the commotion on the water outside their rooms where they were drinking about 10.30pm. Jason and fellow wedding guest Ivan Whewell, both keen fishermen, went to the shore to have a listen and knew straight away something terrible had happened. "If it was our boat, we knew it was only making that noise if s**t's hitting the fan." As they prepared to leave, Jason's partner, Jo Wilson, became a bit worried. "She was saying 'are you sure you're alright'. We had all been drinking all night and you don't want to make it worse. But it was sobering hearing that noise ... we managed to get there and get it sorted." Jason said they found a boat shed on the shore and got inside by "being a bit rough with the gates", grabbed a double-hull kayak and started paddling towards the noise.
Rachel Boyack MP for Nelson
Jason McMillan was a wedding guest in the Marlborough Sounds when he sprang into action. Photo: Andrew Warner. Ivan was paddling in the back and held his phone in his mouth with the light shining ahead. "We could hear the sound of the crashed boat's engine getting louder and louder which was so scary because we couldn't even see the boat so we were just paddling towards a noise. We didn't even know how far out it was." The father of two children, Robert, 2, and Thomas, 1, said they paddled about 500m and came across the boat crashed on rocks. "It came into the phone light. Ivan jumped out and when he did we both fell out ... I swam over to the boat and by then Ivan was already on the boat." Two men on board were in bad shape. One appeared unconscious and another was covered in blood and semiconscious. Somehow, Ivan managed to kill the boat's motor by
ripping out the ignition wires and managed to separate the battery from the motor. "That is the most the important part, because if that motor had kept going add ... there were puddles of petrol all over the ground, if that went up, that's everyone gone." Jason used his T-shirt to help stop the bleeding from the man's head and tried to physically hold him down as he kept trying to get up in a disoriented and pained state. "Just basic first aid and common sense took over. We knew to keep cool, we got this, do the basics and do it well." Meanwhile, another wedding guest, Pete Butler, swam out and got help from a nearby dinghy. That dinghy then towed the sinking boat to the resort's shore and they got the injured men off the boat and on to the jetty by using the
resort's paddleboards. There, another wedding guest, who was a paramedic, helped the men until a rescue helicopter arrived. They later heard one of the men suffered a fractured spine, fractured skull, damaged ribs and broken arms or wrists. Jason, who owns Aerial Solutions BOP based in Rotorua, joked that while he usually rescued people who didn't know how to work their televisions, he often found himself in sticky situations like this. "One of the boys said to me, 'these situations always find you'." But Jason said the good turnout was a result of everyone pitching in. "I couldn't have done it without Peter or Ivan. If it was just one of us or two of us, we wouldn't have had the same outcome." –NZME

It’s great that New Zealand’s COVID-19 vaccine roll-out has officially begun. The first shipment of around 60,000 doses arrived as airfreight in Auckland last week, with our first border workers receiving their first shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine on Saturday. The 30,000 courses will be enough to vaccinate our border workers over the next two to three weeks. The cleaners, nurses who undertake health checks in MIQ, security staff, customs and border officials, airline staff and hotel workers that have been working hard to keep New Zealanders safe at the border are the most at risk of coming into contact with the virus, and our immunisation programme will help to protect them and keep COVID out of our communities. We’re expecting further shipments of the vaccine over the coming weeks and will receive about 225,000 vaccine courses by the end of March, which we’ll roll out to border workers’ household contacts, then to more frontline healthcare and essential workers, plus those most at risk if infected, such as older people. My dad, who lives in the UK, has had his first vaccination and is due to have his second shortly. It’s fantastic to see how quickly the international science community has come together to create a vaccine that will help to keep us safe from COVID-19.

Your Voice Mayor defends rate rises: Just at a time when Nelson families and the elderly are hit hard by the financial impact of Covid on their finances, Nelson's mayor proposes huge rate rises over the next ten years to fund a $44 million new library and other extravagances. The mayor appears to have well and truly lost contact with ordinary people. Perhaps it's time she took up a position at the United Nations. Dan McGuire Nothing to fear from Māori wards: Having recently spent a week in warm, hospitable Nelson, I was shocked to read in the Nelson Weekly (17 Feb 2021), the one-sided arguments from fellow List MP, Hon Dr Nick Smith in opposition to this Government’s bold move to better support councils looking to strengthen local Māori represen-

The problem with National is, one hand doesn’t know what the other one’s doing. Dr Smith is crying foul over increasing representation for Māori, while current leader Judith Collins looks to stand Māori seat candidates in election 2023. I’m confident the good people of Nelson can see right through this. Let’s hope history in schools grows understanding, so we don’t need these kinds of conversations in future.

tation through Māori wards. Dr Smith stands on the wrong side of history. Welcoming greater Māori representation, but only if Māori get more votes than non-Māori. He also conveniently believes all is well in the local Government world, as Māori make up 13 per cent of Aotearoa’s total number of councillors, which matches their lot, being just 13 per cent of the total NZ population, which is nonsense. He simply fails to realise population numbers always change. The rights guaranteed to Māori in Te Tiriti never will. Despite this, there are many councils where there is little or no Māori voice at the table, like Nelson City Council. This is discriminatory policy in action. Human Rights Commissioner, Meng Foon, labelled it ‘racist’ and I am proud Labour has said ‘enough’. Our Labour Māori Caucus is 15-strong out of 64 Labour MPs. Our representative voice has led to key moves that will take Māori and wider Aotearoa forward; a Māori Health Authority, a Matariki public holiday, and the first to com-
Nelson mayor defends rates increase: Five per each year for the next ten years is more than a 50 per cent increase in rates (because it is going up five per cent each year on an already increased amount from the previous year, so the cumulative effect is greatly increased). That’s a huge rate increase. So, if you are paying $3000 now, it’s going to be more than a $1500 increase to well over
A lot of comments attacking the proposed cost of the library, but I believe everyone is missing the bigger picture. We need big projects such as this to promote more growth to a very sad and outdated looking town. I would love to see the riverside become a vibrant and attractive place and with great architectural looking buildings going up. With great vision, this could be the
ister helps by giving a government grant of up to $20,000 for a deposit on a home and enables people to use all their Kiwisaver funds. The grant is limited to purchasing a modest home with a price cap set in Nelson and Tasman at $500,000 for an existing home and $550,000 for a new home. The scheme has been working well with 2500 people since 2015
in Nelson and Tasman buying a first home using the grant. But last year house prices soared 20% or $100,000 to a median of $720,000. There are very few homes below the price caps and numbers accessing the scheme plummeted. It is nonsensical that government support locally reduced 30% last year, resulting in an underspend of $800,000 at a time when it has never been
tougher to be a first home buyer. Politics is getting in the way of a sensible fix. Labour criticised Nationals home deposit grant saying Kiwibuild was a much better answer. History has proved this wrong with 80,000 New Zealanders helped into home ownership through the First Home Scheme and only 500 through Kiwibuild. There has not been one Kiwibuild

That’s going to be roughly $100 a week for each property going to NCC in rates. That’s a lot of money. I think a bit of responsible spending is needed. We didn’t need flash new footpaths outside our work. We don’t need picnic tables in the middle of streets. We do need safe water and infrastructure. What about all the new subdivisions and building and income from that? Do we really need a $44 million library? Diane Chandler

Thieves in the night. Stop wasting my money. I give $3500 a year in rates already. The library is already built. $44 million for what? And who gets books from a library when future generations will be reading online? Better to build 1000 houses for new home owners. Or sort out the traffic congestion on our roads. Instead, you’re making traffic stand still. Karen Bell

Big land for tiny homes Sara Hollyman Reporter
sara@nelsonweekly.co.nz
The Kenney family want to share their land with families looking to downsize both their home and their environmental footprint. Adrienne and Josh Kenney’s home, between Nelson and Rai Valley sits on 15ha of farmland, which they are now looking to open up to people wanting to bring in tiny homes. Five years on from purchasing their working farmlet, Adrienne says they have enjoyed learning about farming with cows,
goats, horses, pigs, chickens and turkeys. But now they are looking to give others the opportunity to live in the country – even if it’s not permanently. “It was becoming a full-scale farm, so we decided to transition to something else and I said to Josh that I’d like to give other people a chance to have what we have.
“I don’t want it to be that you have to have a million dollars to buy a hobby farm to enjoy being out in the country, the beautiful river and having some space for the kids,” she says. The Kenney family have decided to offer up three 3ha paddocks for people to bring in portable tiny homes.

Adrienne says their vision is to see tiny homes on the property, all fully self-sufficient and helping look after their unique environment. In the three weeks since she shared the idea to Facebook, Adrienne has had more than 100 messages, many more comments, and around 20 people out to look at the sites. She says the most important thing to their family is that potential neighbours have done their research on what it is like to live self-sufficiently, particularly around correct handling of all water waste and rubbish. “The number one thing for us is that the people who share our land respect the environment and that we all comply with council regulations.” She says, while council rules do not permit any more permanent dwellings on the property, these will be more temporary accommodations that are all moveable. Co-organiser of the Big Tiny House Expo Wayne Iremonger says more and more people are willing to open their land for tiny homes, which he says are an affordable and sustainable answer to the housing crisis.
“You’ve got systems now that can basically recycle the same 1000 litres of water for the entire year - black water systems that produce compost that is better quality than the soil it’s going on to and a warm, safe, dry home for a fraction of the cost. “It’s less costly to taxpayers, rate payers and most importantly the environment.” He says the tiny homes they have on display range in price from an entry level studio with a shower and toilet for $17,900 through to the top end range of $250,000 which he says really have the “wow-factor”. Adrienne says their property is just a 25-minute drive from central Nelson and, with a housing shortage that shows no sign of slowing, the offering might be just what some people need to refresh their mind, body and soul. “When we leave Nelson, it’s 25 minutes, so the same as a commute to Richmond but we don’t commute in traffic. We have beautiful views in front of us, an open road, it almost feels refreshing, all of the city melts away. “It would be nice to have a few more neighbours for a while.”

WORKPLACE SAFETY Workplace health and safety management can be challenging for many businesses, regardless of size and risk profile. In addition to managing your legal H&S compliance and business risks, ensuring you don’t hurt anybody, cause damage to property or equipment, or cause your business reputational harm, should all be important aspects of good business management. This can come with a small cost to get you in a proactive and preventative stage of H&S maturity, especially where change is needed. Firstly, an assessment of where you sit from a compliance perspective and management of your specific risks. The experienced business partners at Intesafety can provide an independent view of how you sit with H&S compliance and look at how effectively you manage those specific risks - including a range of systems and processes, leadership coaching and mentoring, services such as the co-ordination of activities and software solutions. For a review of your current health and safety, contact Intesafety.

Circus fest the ultimate juggling act Porches raise money for charity Erin Bradnock
The 29th annual Aotearoa New Zealand Juggling and Circus Festival came to a close at Founders Heritage Park on Sunday. According to festival organiser Steve Wilbury, it was a great venue for a long weekend of workshopping and performing for the circusloving community. “Lots of people have travelled from all over the country to be here and everyone has commented that this is the perfect venue for us,” says Steve. Workshops from juggling, slacklining, hula hoops and aerial training were attended by more than 100 enthusiasts. Steve and his parter Rachel Wilbury are also known as the 'Wonderful Wilburys' and work events together across the country. The Wilburys have their fingers crossed they’ll be back in Nelson for next year’s festival.
Raising awareness about hearing loss. March is Hearing Awareness Month and Hearing Awareness Week will take place in the first week of the month. Hearing Nelson is a charitable organisation that has been helping to improve the lives of the deaf and hard of hearing in the Top of the South since 1953. It is planning a host of events to increase understanding and empathy for those in our region living with a hearing loss, and to promote safe listening practices at home, at school and in the workplace. People can come along to presentations, which will be held next week at various times and locations. They will include a presentation by keynote speaker Professor Dirk De Ridder called

‘Understanding Tinnitus – a neurosurgeon’s perspective’ and there will be a presentation by Hearing Nelson's education and communication manager, Tracy Dawson, who will speak about ‘Preventing noise-induced hearing loss in our youth.’ To secure a spot please send your registration to office@ hearingnelson.co.nz or call 03 548 3270 to check availability. Hearing Awareness Month events will also include representation by Hearing Nelson at the upcoming Volunteer Expo at Annesbrook Church on 6 March, and a movie fundraiser at the Suter on 15 March. Fundraising and street appeals are planned at various supermarkets and the Richmond Mall, with members from the
Lioness Club of Nelson and the Richmond Lions manning the stands. In March, “Hearing Nelson’s Checkout Sign Language” will begin in a variety of New World supermarkets throughout the South Island. This was an initiative the organisation trialed at New World Nelson in September that involves teaching staff basic signs for things like “hello”, “would you like a bag?”, “are you paying with cash?” etc. Signs are put in front of checkouts so that customers can use sign language if they want to give it a go. This was very effective in overcoming the communication barriers regarding mask use and perspex shields. In fact, New World Nelson now have it permanently in www.hearingnelson.co.nz place.

The southern region of the Porsche Club New Zealand spent the last weekend in the Nelson region raising money for the local chapter of Big Brothers Big Sisters. There were 56 cars and 97 people involved in the event where members are fined for misdemeanours like being late, having a dirty car or it being your wedding anniversary. More than $1500 was raised from the weekend’s fines, which all went to the charity. The weekend consisted of a day of Porsche driving activity followed by a casual day to allow members to enjoy the attractions and activities available in the region.

‘A sanctuary for the mind’: Elma Turner Library redevelopment set for next chapter
Maitahi Riverside Precinct - Halifax Street, Nelson
Children’s Day is a national awareness day intended to bring families together and recognise how important children are in our community. Council’s facilities are providing some special deals for those looking to get out and about in Nelson on Children’s Day. Entry to Riverside Swimming Pool will be reduced to $1 per child all day for children and youths aged 16 or under. A leisure play session will take place beween 12pm4.30pm, and the rope swing available from 2pm-3.30pm. Entry into Nayland Pool will also be $1 for children and youths under 16 all day. The Aquarun inflatable will be available between 1pm-4pm and is free to use. Children aged eight and under must be supervised by a caregiver aged 16 years or over at both pools.
When used and disposed of correctly, masks work to both reduce the risk of infected people infecting others, and help protect uninfected people from catching the virus. Children under the age of 12 will be exempt from these requirements, as will people with certain medical conditions. Children and young people travelling on school buses are also exempt from mask requirements. This decision was being reviewed after Our Nelson’s print deadline, so please check the Unite Against Covid-19 website for the latest information. Be kind and courteous to other passengers and drivers. Remember to stay at home if you are unwell. Wearing is caring. Kia mau, kia tau.

That vision is now a step closer after the Council voted to include a proposal for a site that will connect the City Centre to the Mahitahi/Maitai River in the 2021-31 Long-Term Plan. This option will involve the construction of a new library on the corner of Halifax and Trafalgar Streets. Landscaping of the area will open up the Riverside Precinct, allowing people to flow through the library space to the Mahitahi/ Maitai River, creating potential new spaces for recreation, food, and retail. Council proposes to invest $44.4 million in a high-spec building, designed to be both sustainable and resilient to climate change. A significant investment for Nelson’s future, the new library will offer the community enhanced spaces for meetings, small scale performances, greater technological resources, archive facilities, activity rooms and spaces to create. Group Manager Community Services Andrew White says the new library will support the concept of lifelong learning with an increased number of community activities, library services and programmes. “Libraries are a place of sanctuary for the mind and closely linked to the well-being of our community. The new library will be a place for people to stop and think, read, be creative and communal. Opportunities like these, make a city a worthwhile place to live.” Mayor Rachel Reese says the aim is to provide Nelson with a facility that rivals the best libraries in New Zealand, connects our river to our city, and provides a focal point for our community. “At their best, modern libraries offer people the chance to expand their horizons. They are a gateway to opportunity and a great equaliser for our community. “The new library’s proximity to the river means we need to manage how it will be affected by climate change, and robust analysis confirms that this site remains appropriate.” Constructed to a Five Star, Green Star sustainability standard using low carbon construction techniques, the new library will demonstrate ways in which we can sustainably develop areas of Nelson that will be impacted by climate change. Other options considered by the Council included rebuilding the library on its current site (either with a reduced

Children and youths aged 16 or under can ride the railcar for free at Founders Heritage Park between 10.30am-12.30pm. There will also be a train-themed children's treasure hunt. An array of activities – stories and games, puzzles, bubbles and even a touch of magic - will be on offer at Elma Turner Library on Halifax Street. All activities are free and there will be something for children of all ages. Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says: “Children’s Day is a great opportunity to celebrate our tamariki. I encourage everyone to get out and enjoy our beautiful city, and make the most of the activities we have on offer.” These activities will be subject to change, in accordance with the Ministry of Health’s COVID-19 guidelines at the time of Children’s Day.

or high specification), refurbishing the existing building, or rebuilding a new library in another part of the city. Elma Turner Library has been in its current site, a former car showroom, since 1990, and plans to redevelop the library into a modern, fit-for-purpose community building date back more than a decade. The Nelson community has consistently expressed support for a new library at the Riverside Precinct through previous Long-Term Plans and Annual Plans. Further engagement with iwi, community groups, library staff, Councillors and the general public was carried out between May and December 2019, by Athfield Architects and Irving Smith Architects and via an online survey. This revealed that people felt the following components were important: • The Collection • A range of spaces to cater for all • Great access and car parking • A welcoming place to host and engage visitors • A well serviced community room open after hours. • A connected Nelson archive, centred around a library heritage space. • A sustainable building demonstrative of Nelson’s approach to climate change • A community building that is connected to its landscape and surrounds • A project that maximises the opportunity of the river. The Council also heard that although refurbishing the existing library would cost less, this would only extend the life of the building by another 20 – 30 years with few additional benefits. A new building on a new site would be designed to serve as Nelson’s main library for the next 100 years, and have the added benefit of opening up the Riverside Precinct for comprehensive, integrated redevelopment. Council officers will now begin preliminary negotiations with Wakatū Inc, the current owners of the Halifax/Trafalgar Street site. A final decision will be made once we have received feedback through the 2021-31 Long Term Plan.

Council has received a number of complaints recently about dogs on the main Tahunanui Beach – an area off-limits to our canine friends under the Dog Control Policy and Bylaw. Dogs can be exercised safely and legally on the Back Beach, leaving the main beach free for people to swim, picnic and relax. There are also lots of reserves, parks and public places where dogs can be exercised both on and off-lead – for maps and information go to: nelson.govt.nz/dog-owner-responsibilities

Back in 2014, the people of Stoke told us that a youth facility was the key thing missing in Nelson's fastestgrowing suburb. The area next to Stoke Memorial Hall (right next to Whanake Youth), has been earmarked as a potential location for the park. We have sought feedback on this from stakeholders, and would like feedback from the community as well. A final decision on the park's location will be taken at the Community and Recreation Meeting on 4 March. Nelson City Council has been working with Whanake Youth and Nelson Youth Council to come up with some concept plans for this facility. We would also like to hear ideas, especially from young people. What would you like to see in your ideal Youth Park?

quality of these toilets at Millers Acre, close to the iSite and how they have made the space to do it,” Councillor Skinner says. “For people, especially if they come from Picton or Christchurch, this is the first place they come to when they get off the bus. This is something we have needed for quite a while, so now you have got seven toilets for the convenience of visitors and locals.”

Help our fernbirds fly The Wakapuaka Sandflats are home to the secretive native fernbird, a brown sparrow-sized bird with excellent camouflage, which is more likely to be heard than seen. The fernbird has a conservation status of At Risk/Declining. In Nelson City, the only other populations that we know about are at the Paremata Sandflats and Kokorua Estuary, populations which are also likely to be small. The sandflats are a popular area for walking and dog exercising, which may cause problems for the fernbirds. As fernbirds are poor flyers, emit a strong odour and inhabit low-growing vegetation it makes them easy prey for rats, stoats and cats. It can also mean they are easily disturbed by people and dogs. If you can avoid walking or letting your dog run through areas of dense vegetation where
the fernbirds may be living, it will help our feathered friends to thrive. If you are a keen bird spotter, check out nzbirdsonline.org.nz/species/fernbird to see what to look and listen out for. If you spot any fernbirds, remember to add your sightings to inaturalist.nz/ to help build a picture of where these birds are living in Nelson. Trapping pests like rats and stoats can really help to protect species like the fernbird. If you would like to get involved in protecting our native species at locations like the Wakapuaka Sandflats by being part of a trapping group, contact our Adopt A Spot programme at:
Commuting Councillor Matt Lawrey beats traffic by biking to meetings Councillor Matt Lawrey doesn’t have to worry about the morning commute when he comes to Civic House for Council meetings. There is no time spent stuck in traffic or troubles finding a park; he simply rides his bike from his house in Victory, barely raising a sweat on the largely downhill journey and arrives a short-time later at Civic House for meetings, still looking fresh. “It’s only about 10 minutes from door to door and I actually enjoy just seeing what’s going on and who’s around on my morning commute.” For Councillor Lawrey, who rides bikes to live sustainably, keep fit and have fun, cycling is excellent for his mental health. “I actually find mountain biking really meditative and tend to get grumpy if I go a day or two without riding a bike,” he says. Councillor Lawrey found his passion for cycling as a child, and his passion was piqued in his twenties when he lived in Japan for three years and used a bike for most journeys. He even did a “mammoth” eight month bike tour of Southeast Asia. Councillor Lawrey would like to encourage people to sign up for Aotearoa Bike Challenge. “Riding a bike is good for people

Regional Public Transport Plan (RPTP)
The RLTP is a critical document for Te Tauihu o Te Waka-a-Māui (Te Tauihu) or the “Top of the South Island’. It is a joint plan to develop a 10 year transport vision, and has been developed between Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency), Marlborough District Council, Tasman District Council and Nelson City Council.
The RPTP details the investment programme required to help public transport play a key role in the delivery of a sustainable transport future for the Nelson Tasman region. It will combine with other key strategies to contribute to achieving carbon emission reduction targets set by Central Government.

Community and Recreation Chair Tim Skinner, along with Councillors Gaile Noonan and Yvonne Bowater cut the ribbon to officially open the new toilets at Millers Acre on Friday 12 February. There are five unisex individual toilets, along with one accessible toilet/baby changing room (open 24/7) and a men’s facility featuring two urinals and a standard toilet in the cubicle. The project received funding of $250,000 from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's Tourism Infrastructure Fund. “I am impressed with the design and

and good for the planet. It’s also really fun and good for your head,” he says. “Not only that but the more people we can get on bikes, the more we build the case for better cycling infrastructure, and the more liveable Nelson-Whakatū will become.” He also has some practical advice for people looking to start out riding a bike. “Get the best bike you can and gofor-it,” he says. “Make sure the tyres are properly inflated because it can make a huge difference and, if you find a hill gets too steep, just jump off and push. There’s no shame in pushing.” Aotearoa Bike Challenge Aotearoa Bike Challenge is a fun, free competition that is all about seeing which workplaces or groups can get the most people to ride a bike for just 10 minutes or more. Nelson City Council is challenging Tasman District Council and encourages local businesses to get involved. To register for Aotearoa Bike Challenge go to:
Founders Heritage Park Windmill maintenance Work has begun at Founders Heritage Park, to repair and refresh its iconic windmill. Work to re-roof the dome, repair some weatherboards and repaint the windmill began in early February and is expected to continue through to the end of March. On 2 March, the windmill’s sails will be taken down for repainting. The work should not have any impact on visitors to the park, but visitors are asked to be mindful of the taped-off work areas and to respect any signage. The windmill was built in 1985, as a replica of an original that once stood at the end of Trafalgar Street, in the area now occupied by the Millers Acre Centre.
Climatorium progressing Nelson’s commitment to tackling the effects of climate change continues with the Council voting to explore the opportunity to develop a Climatorium in Nelson. A Climatorium is a centre where the scientific community can come together with central and local government, industry, academics, and the community, to develop and share innovative solutions to climate change challenges. Wakatū Incorporation believes there is an opportunity to develop a Climatorium in Nelson, potentially within the Mahitahi River Precinct, and intends to develop a business case to that effect. Council proposes to support this project by bringing together key organisations to help explore the opportunity and progress the concept. No funding has been requested from Nelson City Council at this stage. The possibility of the Climatorium being a virtual space is also being considered. The business case follows the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding in May 2020 between Wakatū Incorporation, Nelson City
Council and four Danish organisations which pledged to explore the opportunity to create a Climatorium, based on an existing one in Lemvig, Denmark. Mayor Rachel Reese says a Climatorium would establish Nelson as a centre of climate change solutions, and it’s another sign of our region’s climate change leadership. “The Council declared a Climate Emergency in 2019, and this is another step that evidences our commitment to action and collaboration. The approach to the Climatorium is also pragmatic; it leaves various options open for this plan, including the Climatorium not being a physical space but virtual.” A meeting will now be set up with representatives from government, industry, research institutions, and the community to progress the concept further.
Section three work begins at Salisbury/ Champion Road roundabout upgrade Tasman District Council’s infrastructure project has moved on to Section Three, which involves closing the corner in front of the new supermarket site.

The Nelson club cricket season came to a crescendo at the weekend with both the local and inter regional one day champions crowned. Athletic College Old Boys won back-to-back Tasman Premier League titles, following superb
all-round performances from the Zohrab twins while Stoke/ Nayland picked up its fifth consecutive Bush Tavern Cup. ACOB cruised to a six-wicket victory at Saxton Oval on Sunday afternoon against the Marlborough Falcons. Batting first, the visitors found themselves in a deep hole at 53/6, before the tail wagged just enough to give the Falcons
something to bowl to. Harry Boyce would top score with 42 while Thomas Zohrab was incredibly economical, conceding just 12 runs from his 10 overs and picking up two wickets. Twin brother David was equally difficult to get away, just 18 runs
coming from his ten overs. Brady Barnett, Mason Lund and Reuben Smith all picked up double scalps as the Falcons were dismissed for 141 with 11 balls remaining. The Zohrabs inflicted further pain with the bat, each scoring half centuries and sharing a 92-
run partnership. David would finish unbeaten on 60 as ACOB reached 142/4 in 37.4 overs. Skipper Ollie-Jones Allen says it is a real luxury having players of the Zohrab’s quality in their side. “That run chase was tailor

It’s a huge point of difference for us having that at our disposal and you always know what you’re going to get when you throw Thomas the ball, he is always very miserly and picks up wickets at key times.” Meanwhile, Stoke/Nayland won the Nelson one day competition in emphatic style on Saturday. After a disappointing TPL campaign, Stoke/ Nayland was determined for some silverware and claimed it in crushing fashion against Wakatu. The hosts would compile a daunting total of 261 all out at Victory Square before dismissing Wakatu for just 140. Skipper Brendan Hodgson says it was a convincing victory for his side. "I was surprised that they won the toss and bowled, but it was nice to put a competitive score on the board." Brendan says the batsmen stood up in what was a real team performance. "Then the bowlers did a superb job of backing that up." Stoke/Nayland got solid contributions from its top order batsmen, with half centuries for Josh Smith and Darius Skeaping. Smith's 50 came at better than a run a ball, with 38 of his runs coming in boundaries, combining with Rick Edwards who would also score at a brisk rate. Hodgson would cap off the innings with a late cameo as Campbell McLean finished with 4/63. Wakatu would lose regular wickets throughout the chase, veteran Mason Robinson top scoring with 37 but it wasn't enough as Stoke claimed yet another championship. Rick Edwards would also star with the ball, claiming 4/28 off nine overs in the 121-run victory.

Sallie sharing the fighting spirit Jonty Dine Reporter
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Former world champion Sallie McArdle is running kickboxing classes in Nelson. Photo: Jonty Dine.
Sallie McArdle’s martial arts journey began like many others growing up in the 1980s. She began training when The Karate Kid was the buzz of her small hometown in Ireland. Sallie was 16-years-old when she and her teammates excitedly headed to their first ever karate tournament in Dublin. But upon arrival, they were shocked to learn that it was in fact a kickboxing event. Intimidated by the more physical discipline, Sallie’s teammates wanted to turn around and go home. But Sallie wanted to fight. After a brief coaching lesson, which essentially equated to ‘just do what you do in karate but don’t stop until the bell goes,’ Sallie was in the ring. She would go on to stun her opponents and those in attendance by winning the entire tournament. After just three kickboxing bouts, Sallie was a national champion. “Everyone was wondering ‘who the hell is this girl?”’ Her title granted her entry to the World Championships at Crystal Palace in London. Only a few months after switching her gi for gloves, the Irish teenager was about to fight the best on the planet. “I was completely green and just thought ‘what am I doing here?’” Her first international fight would not quite have the dream finish of her debut. Sallie was thoroughly outclassed
SUPER RUGBY SUPER DEALS
“If we get people at a high level, brilliant, but my main goal is to get people enjoying it.” Every spare cent Sallie had to her name would be spent travelling around the world training with the best on offer. Sallie went on to win her first world title at just 19 in Denmark against a 6’3” Polish opponent. This would be the first of a staggering 25 national titles, three European and 13 world titles. She headlined and won the first female sanctioned amateur boxing match, held in the national stadium in Ireland in 2001. Sallie would hold the number
one world ranking for several years before retiring undefeated at 25-years-old. Sallie fought through an era where women’s fighting was not the attraction it is today. “Back in the day there was definitely a discrimination toward women. We had to be ten times as good as the guys.” After all her successes, Sallie says her career highlights come from the coaching corner as opposed to the canvas. “I love coaching fighters, but I get just as much pleasure out of seeing a young kid master a front kick than any fights I won. The joy in their face is such a boost.” So, Sallie is now using her substantial skillset to empower local adults and children alike. She is the chief instructor of Sport Martial Arts, which runs classes out of Victory Boxing for everyone from beginners to seasoned competitors. “If we get people at a high level, brilliant, but my main goal is to get people enjoying it.” Her classes will focus on Tatami, which is a semi contact martial art. “The fighters are safe, protected, and are not allowed to draw blood.” Sallie says to maintain New Zealand’s dominance on the international stage, we have to keep grassroots MMA strong. “You can train like a fighter, but you don’t ever have to fight.” Sallie says everyone is welcome to her classes regardless of age or ability, however egos are not.

by her more experienced Hungarian opponent and was well defeated by the then world champion. Following the defeat, her opponent would offer some words of advice. “She just told me ‘don’t give up, one day you will get the chance to do this to someone else.’” From that moment, Sallie decided that even if it took the rest of her life, she would be back and be victorious.

Former top ref lands Tasman CEO job Peter Jones Former New Zealand Referees Association boss Lyndon Bray is the new chief executive officer of the Tasman Rugby Union. Fifty-four-year-old Lyndon replaces Tony Lewis, who resigned just before Christmas to take up the position as CEO of the Western Force union, based in Perth, Australia. Lyndon has enjoyed a varied
professional career, which has traversed both the corporate and sporting worlds over the last 30 years. From 2001 to 2008 he was one of the country’s leading rugby referees, taking the whistle in seven internationals. He then moved into sports management, becoming the NZRU’s high performance referee manager for three years.
In 2011 he took up the role of ‘game manager’ with Sanzaar where he has remained ever since. TRU board chairman, Wayne Young, says Lyndon is a passionate rugby person and is a well-known senior executive with Sanzaar and very accomplished ex-international rugby referee. “Most importantly, Lyndon brings a proven track record of success as a leader both in rugby and corporate circles”. Lyndon will be relocating to Tasman and is very much looking forward to integrating into the community.

"Tony Lewis has left us all a very well-oiled ship and I am indebted to him for that. This is a very special new journey for me, and I look forward to the challenge.” Tony was in charge of Tasman rugby since 2013, leading the nation’s newest union to back-to-back Mitre 10 Cup premiership titles as well as successfully hosting an AllBlacks’ test match in Nelson for the first time.

Masters to spin their wheels in Nelson Jonty Dine Reporter
Trees and power lines don’t mix Trees and vegetation can cause power cuts. That’s why it is important to manage them so that they don’t grow too close to power lines.
jonty@nelsonweekly.co.nz
Some of the country’s more seasoned cyclists will roll into town today for the Mighty Masters Cycling Festival. Riders in the 40 plus age groups are set to compete in four days of competition staged at the Saxton Velodrome and on roads around the Tasman area. Flying the local flag will be 77-year-old Roger Bates. With so few competitors in his group, Roger is preparing to take on the clock. “Unfortunately, at my level there are not many riders, but I just try to better my own times and not worry about placings.” Roger says while he won’t be setting the track alight with his speed, he is in it for the enjoyment. “I’m never right at the front but I just like to compete.” Roger is currently the 75+ New Zealand one hour title holder

SUPER RUGBY TIPPING
Our vegetation team surveys the network regularly, checking for trees and other vegetation that is a risk to the power lines.
O U R LO C A L S P I C K T H E I R W I N N E R S
Before you plant anything near power lines, consider how big it will grow. We send ‘cut and trim’ (CT) notices to property owners where we find any trees growing too close to our power lines. We are required to do this by law under the Electricity (Hazard from Trees) Regulations. If you receive a CT notice you can choose to have the trees trimmed or felled. The Regulations state that each tree is entitled to one free trim. We keep a database of each surveyed site so if you are eligible for a free trim, our tree contractor will cut the tree back to a safe distance from the lines. You are then responsible for keeping the tree trimmed in the future so that it doesn’t grow too close again. Trees notified to you in a CT notice must only be cut by a network certified arborist. They have specific training and the necessary insulated tools to safely cut trees close to power lines. Our vegetation surveyors also look for trees that are a high risk to the power lines – these include trees that are diseased, or have damaged trunks/broken branches that could fall onto the power lines. Owners of these trees will be contacted by our surveyors to discuss their options. Surveying our power lines and working with tree owners in this way has dramatically reduced the number of power outages caused by trees. We appreciate the effort that tree owners are making to keep their trees clear of the power lines, your neighbours will too! If you have any questions please contact our vegetation team on 0800 508 098 or email trees@networktasman.co.nz
