drive-through KFC without Overseas Investment Office consent A major fast food company has been fined $30,000 for breaching foreign investment rules when it purchased Auckland land for a drive-through KFC restaurant And one of the country’s top law firms has been caught up in the dispute, accused of failing to provide “any advice or guidance” about the need to obtain consent when drafting a sale and purchase agreement for the $2.65 million deal Documents released to the Herald under the Official Information Act show Restaurants Brands Properties Ltd (RBPL) purchased a 2ha site on Massey Rd It had resource consent to transform the commercial boarding house then operating on the site into a drive-through KFC restaurant However, the company is foreign-owned and needed Overseas Investment Office (OIO) consent before settling on the deal because the residential land was considered sensitive under the Overseas Investment Act It is described as the property holding company for the Restaurant Brands Group which operates a suite of big fast food chains RBPL is owned by Restaurant Brands New Zealand Ltd which is listed on the New Zealand stock exchange The documents show that RBPL entered into a sale and purchase agreement on March 10 with vendor Massey Road Ltd to acquire the land for $2.65m The agreement was subject to due diligence conditions but was not conditional on the purchaser obtaining OIO consent The contract eventually went unconditional meaning the company had “acquired an equitable interest in sensitive land” in breach of the Act RBPL realised the error prior to the contract’s settlement date and alerted the watchdog before obtaining legal title A memorandum to OIO enforcement manager Simon Pope in October 2023 from a compliance investigator outlined how the breach occurred and discussed enforcement options The document said neither RBPL nor its conveyancing legal advisers identified the need for consent prior to signing the contract “Neither party correctly identified that the land was residential under the Act “The RBPL staff handling the purchase transaction appear to have had insufficient knowledge concerning the overseas investment rules and incorrectly concluded that the land was commercial “Meredith Connell drafted the ASP [agreement for sale and purchase] for RBPL but did not appear to provide any advice or guidance about the need for consent.” RBPL self-reported the “inadvertent” breach after becoming aware of the error and co-operated with the OIO investigation The memorandum recommended imposing a $30,000 administrative penalty which was not considered “unduly harsh or oppressive” given the circumstances of the case and amount paid for the land “RBPL has co-operated with our investigation and has advised us about changes they are implementing to their processes and procedures to ensure appropriate checks are done/advice sought prior to entering into agreements “Meredith Connell will also provide updated training to RBPL and its staff.” RBPL was fined $30,000 and granted retrospective consent in November 2023 It eventually obtained legal title for the land and a KFC drive-through is now operating on the site Restaurant Brands told the Herald the property was marketed zoned and used for commercial purposes at the time the contract was signed The company only realised the land had a residential rating on Auckland Council records after the contract became unconditional “This meant that even though it was a commercial property and intended for commercial use The company self-reported the breach and worked closely with the OIO “who dealt with the matter efficiently and appropriately” saying “we never comment on commercial client matters” A Land Information NZ spokeswoman said OIO staff were satisfied the matter had now been appropriately dealt with Lane Nichols is Deputy Head of News and a senior journalist for the New Zealand Herald with more than 20 years’ experience in the

design for a Māori tertiary centre in Masterton's Eastside Turning graffiti into public art and creating a Māori university are among the bold ideas of a class of Massey University planning students who collaborated with a local community and council to revitalise a low socio-economic Masterton suburb Masterton East – also known as the Eastside or Cameron Block – is a social housing area Its population of around 3500 makes up around 15 per cent of Masterton’s population and just over 30 per cent are Māori (Rangitane and Ngāti Kahungunu) The class of 14 students worked with the Masterton District Council Connecting Communities Wairarapa and Masterton Eastside Community Group on the Community-led Development Design for Masterton East in their fourth and final year of the Bachelor of Resource and Environmental Planning degree provided a professional portfolio detailing their engagement process research and designs for revamped or new buildings Māori art for urban settings and traffic solutions They explored three key themes: education (what linkages can be made between the suburb’s three schools and the wider community and how might opportunities and spaces for adult education be incorporated); community hub (what is the best location for the community centre and how best to foster links with sports and other groups); and open spaces and gateways (how to incorporate green spaces into the neighbourhood) Design for giant spraycan sculptures for a skatepark where graffiti is seen as art for younger residents of Eastside In a group interview about their project four of the students said one of their main priorities was to cater for the needs of the younger demographic from teens to early 20s “The challenge was to find stuff in between a kids’ playground and walkways for the elderly,” says Phoebe This meant they had to take on board a range of sometimes conflicting ideas from the community and find solutions that would work Younger residents indicated they wanted the local skatepark to be lit so they didn’t have to leave when the sun goes down The students also came up with a design for an associated series of landmark concrete pillars shaped like spray paint cans “We felt these spaces would encourage community graffiti as a positive thing – in a way that’s interpreted more as art than graffiti.” the idea of a skatepark with graffiti columns was not palatable to some of the older people who saw it as attracting bad behaviour “whereas we saw it as a way of concentrating that behaviour so that they are not tagging letterboxes,” says Josh they suggested an induction day and inviting local artists from around region to launch the concept “When we proposed our ideas [about a skatepark and graffiti cans] we were a little bit nervous But they noted the residents’ strong sense of community and that they “never came at it [the redesign] from a negative angle – they were always optimistic and proud of their community and wanted us to look at it from that perspective,” says Alicia “We didn’t see ourselves as coming to fix up a dodgy area we’re coming to build on what they already have and to invite wider Masterton to their community.” they were mindful of cost and of “not being too frivolous” Josh says they had a mix of less costly ideas that could be achieved first larger-scale concepts that would require a bigger budget the principal of Eastside’s Te Kura Kaupapa Māori He envisages an education hub for ages 0 to 99 that could also serve the tertiary education needs of the wider region Incorporating Māori designs into urban settings as part of Masterton's Eastside redesign The students say the project gave them valuable insights and experience “It puts the pressure on to do a really good job when you have people out there in the community who are actually relying you to come up with something that’s a well-researched and a quality product It just incentivised us to do a really good job,” says Hannah Alicia is pleased that the final result “reflects their vision and values and what they wanted rather than us just coming in and dictating what our ideas and values are.” Phoebe says the experience tested their listening and communication skills through having to deal with a wide variety of people who would often have different and sometimes contesting ideas of what they wanted Alicia noted that Eastside has “a deep cultural connection to the land and the river – we needed to engage their principles of Matauranga Māori (knowledge and wisdom) into our approach It was something different we had to consider A lot of our assignments are based on planning theory – words and scholarly stuff so to weave those different aspects into this project was really cool.” Josh says the project was “a really enjoyable process getting to know the community and working not so much with professionals and powerful stakeholders but just the everyday people who use the spaces.” three of the four have jobs (two in Wellington consultancies and one in an Auckland consultancy) The aspects of planning they love and look forward to in their careers include dealing with a wide range of different people from all walks of life and getting to work on a wide variety of large and small projects for both councils and applicants being a planner means “being able to have some influence and do my bit to make the environmental impacts a little bit less than they otherwise would be.” Their lecturer Associate Professor Imran Muhammad says the experience allowed the students to engage with a real-world community and stakeholders which gave them “real passion for the project” and “a sense of contribution to the community” community development advisor for the Masterton District Council says; “the opportunity for the community to see a cohesive vision for their space cannot be overestimated If we are to have vibrant flourishing communities and places in the future it has to come from within In this co-design process between Massey’s urban planning and design course and Masterton’s Eastside neighbourhood we can see a way to support this community-led process.” “As someone who has been on both sides of a project like this as a student and now as a professional The students get an opportunity to apply their creativity and abstract skills to a real project and design thinking applied to the place they love and care about.” Check out Masterton Eastside design here.

marketing veteran has served in a variety of roles in both digital and traditional marketing teams Screenshot from Katherine Massey’s online obituary Those neighbors who get mad about one stop sign or a litter-filled alley and their experience with City Hall launches a full-on vocation Sometimes the fight leads to justice, like in the case of Marsha Jackson, who moved shingle mountain in South Dallas with the help of environmental activists Watchdogs from neighborhoods all over Dallas take the time to ask questions and stand up That’s why the story of Katherine Massey stood out when I heard it on an episode of This American Life recently Massey, a busy body who notably wrote a letter to the editor of the Buffalo News urging gun control was killed in the May 14 shooting at a supermarket in Buffalo But the radio story gives a fuller picture of her community work Massey was a member of “the busy-body club That one person you know who’s all up on everything.” Massey once got something done on her street by petitioning the Governor of New York on behalf of the Cherry Street Block Club which was just herself and some letterhead she designed Listen to “Kat” Massey’s story here which also shows how she activated community members and inspired bureaucrats and maybe we’ll find ourselves inspired to get more involved in our own neighborhoods Massey Centre programs have helped Sheenique Baptiste and her year-old son Jayvion Jayvion plays with a fire truck at the Massey Centre while his mom Sheenique Baptiste looks on says they have about 110 moms living with them on average in any given year Ekua Asabea Blair is the Chief Executive Officer of Massey Centre Sheenique Baptiste says the programs at the Massey Centre help her manage her emotions better around her baby THE ISSUE: SUPPORT FOR YOUNG MOMSLOCAL IMPACT: MASSEY CENTRE OFFERS HEALTH CARE and the information within may be out of date When Sheenique Baptiste found out that she was pregnant the young woman knew she had no choice but to leave her home I knew that being there while being pregnant was not right for me I wanted a better life for my kid,” Baptiste said adding that seeing the ultrasound picture of her unborn baby gave extra courage to make the move to “give this boy a life.” Her journey to seek help eventually led her to the Massey Centre in east end Toronto which gave her access to prenatal and postnatal care – and the opportunity to build life skills Baptiste and her baby boy now live in one of the furnished apartment units at the centre The place has given the 22-year-old the freedom to raise her child the way she wants while continuing her college education The Massey Centre has been around since 1901 – albeit under different names The goal has been to support pregnant and parenting youth (aged 13 to 25) providing them with the skills and tools for parenting “It’s a refuge for a very vulnerable group of young people who have either been estranged from their family due to family violence or domestic abuse from partners and they come to us at a very low point in their lives,” said Ekua Asabea Blair It’s a place that uplifts young women and reminds them of their strength and capacity so that they can get back into the community to live a fulfilled life Ekua Asabea Blair is the CEO and spokesperson of the Massey Centre She says they have about 110 young mothers living with them on average in any given year One program that the centre has been focusing on is Baby Love an evidence-based preventive intervention program to ensure babies turn into well-balanced children and adults “We discovered through our research that there is such a thing as infant and early childhood mental health,” Blair said “Babies who live in high-risk situations … if they’re exposed to toxic stress it affects their brain development which ultimately can affect their physical and mental health later on in life.” Jean Wittenberg of the Hospital for Sick Children in developing the program which teaches mothers how to make their babies feel secure by understanding cues and learning ways to deal with them in different types of situation – including when the babies are in distress While they receive funding from the government the CEO said it doesn’t cover everything – especially when it comes to offering programs like Baby Love They still have to fundraise every year “just to keep our doors open.” Blair is hopeful that they will get a boost in funding by winning a philanthropic contest The Massey Centre is one of 10 organizations in Canada that have been shortlisted by iA Financial Group to receive a donation of $125,000 out of about $300,000 for all the winners – the second year the Quebec City-based company is running the Canada-wide contest This year’s goal is to support organizations that tackle mental health programs Another local finalist is the Griffin Centre Mental Health Services in North York The winners will be determined by public voting that runs until Nov getting the most votes means the chance to increase their capacity to “reach out to more families.”  Sheenique Baptiste says she learned how to manage her emotions better around her baby The offered programs at the centre helped Baptiste to learn more about parenting and working as a team with her baby And I just made so much out of it,” said Baptiste who’s working on getting a diploma in the child and youth worker program at Centennial College Her message to those who might be in similar situation is to never give up “I was told that I would never be able to raise my kid … and go to school You’re capable of doing anything,” she said She hopes one day to make a difference by starting an organization that works with youth in the community Your

In August, the Knoxville City Council and Knox County Commission passed identical resolutions urging lawmakers to use their special legislative session to find money for more mental health services. but lawmakers did acknowledge the need on Oct The pandemic revealed the lack of care for those experiencing mental health issues or substance abuse locally and nationwide "We've talked about the (need for a for a mental health hospital in East Tennessee)," state Sen do we need more 3-6 month beds or do we need long-term?"
