North Canterbury residents boiling over water bottling 'opportunity'

A drought-stricken region where the tap water “tastes vile” could become home to an export water bottling business to the outrage of neighbours.

A drought-stricken region where the tap water “tastes vile” could become home to an export water bottling business to the outrage of neighbours.

PGG Wrightson Real Estate has listed for sale Omihi Creek, a 116-hectare property in Hurunui, pushing its water bottling potential.

“[It] affords astute purchasers the option to diversify and to spread their income streams across a range of ventures,’’ the advertisement reads. “Take advantage of the water bottling opportunity on offer.’’

The Omihi Creek consent allows for 524,667cum of water to be taken each year – the equivalent of 210 Olympic swimming pools, or 525 million litre bottles of water.

The water can be used for irrigation and commercial water bottling. The property was initially given consent to take water in 2006, although no water has been bottled to date and has since been run as a blackcurrant venture.

Intensive therapy paying off for young girl with rare condition

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

Amaria Emery, of Kaiapoi in North Canterbury, is one of just 10 children in New Zealand with CDKL5 – a neurological condition that means she is missing a protein needed for brain development.

Amaria Emery, of Kaiapoi in North Canterbury, is one of just 10 children in New Zealand with CDKL5 – a neurological condition that means she is missing a protein needed for brain development.

Parents they spoke to encouraged them to get her into intensive therapy, and the family tries to visit the Timmermans Method Therapy Clinic in Adelaide once or twice a year, finances permitting. There, Amaria receives three-hour one-on-one therapy sessions a day for three weeks, and while exhausting for her, the results are paying off.

The Emerys said the main hope for Amaria was to get her walking, something they work on with her through her therapy exercises each day. They are optimistic of a medical answer for the condition in the future.

But their immediate goal is to conquer a half-marathon in Queenstown later this month – a challenge they have been trying to get over the line for some time. A Givealittle page has been set up for anyone wanting to support the runners, and in turn Amaria’s family which includes sisters Arabella, 8, and Alessandra, 7.
