Moving south: Why North Islanders are upping sticks in droves
The South Island is attracting a growing number of internal migrants, with new figures revealing more than 85,000 Kiwis have relocated there from the North Island in five years. Between 2018 and 2023, 85,575 people made the move south, 30,000 more than those heading north, according to Stats New Zealand. Auckland alone saw a net migration loss of 50,000 people over five years. Canterbury and Otago had the highest number of people living in the region that had moved between the two islands since the 2018 Census. Stats NZ 2023 Census spokesperson Rosemary Goodyear said housing affordability and study opportunities were likely to be "strong factors" for drawing people south. ADVERTISEMENT "House prices are typically lower in Canterbury than in much of the North Island. "Students may be moving to study at universities – 15 to 29-year-olds made up one-third of people that moved to Canterbury from the North Island between 2018 and 2023, and half of those who moved to Otago from the North Island." Minister for the South Island James Meager. (Source: Getty) Christchurch has the lowest average rents and house prices among New Zealand's three major cities. South Island Minister James Meager said there was "massive growth" in housing developments across Te Waipounamu, including in Lincoln, Rolleston, and in central Otago. "I spent the last two days in Queenstown, and that is going absolutely bananas." He said so many people wanted to move down for the environment, the scenery, and work opportunities. ADVERTISEMENT "If you want to come from the North Island and bring your direct foreign investment south, we are welcoming you with open arms." Youth migration is being driven by Christchurch's revitalisation following the earthquakes with a record-high enrolment at the University of Canterbury of 25,000 students. The city's population of those aged 15-24 has increased by 6%, bucking the national trend. The revitalisation of Christchurch after the earthquakes has been a major reason for increased internal migration. (Source: 1News) "Christchurch has essentially been rebuilt after the earthquake, so you've got new, attractive housing and buildings," said Canterbury University Student Association president Luc MacKay. "People consistently tell me they really enjoy coming here because it's fresh." The West Coast mining sector has added 1200 jobs, while manufacturing and future-focused sectors were expanding too in Canterbury ADVERTISEMENT ChristchurchNZ chief executive Ali Adams said incredible jobs were being created and advertised in the Garden City daily. "This is particularly in some of our future focus sectors like aerospace and clean tech and also in the health tech industries." The island's famed beauty, from snow-capped mountains to glacial lakes, was also a big drawcard for North Island expats. Milford Sound.

"It comes down to quality of life. If you can make it work living in a smaller place, and your pace of life is a bit slower, that can feel a lot better."

International accolade for ring ‘huge honour'
Alice Herald has been living in Wānaka since 2005, and was the first Kiwi jewellery designer to be invited and receive an accolade at the Couture Jewellery Awards. PHOTOS: SUPPLIED Wānaka jeweller Alice Herald received second place at the renowned Couture Show in Las Vegas this week. Ms Herald was exhibiting her work at the prestigious invitation-only international jewellery design show, and was the first Kiwi jewellery designer to be invited to exhibit. She attended for the first time last year, and returned this year with more designs to share with international retailers, editors and influencers. Dubbed as the Oscars of the jewellery world, Ms Herald was overwhelmed with the accolade. "I decided to enter the gold category to showcase our beautiful New Zealand alluvial yellow gold. This year's design, the "Light My Fire Pinky Ring", is from my new collection "The Deities" inspired by the story of Prometheus. "I am a storyteller and artist at heart, expressing myself through exquisite jewels that are loved for generations. Being a finalist for this award is a huge honour." Wānaka jeweller Alice Herald's ''Light My Fire Pinky Ring'' Ms Herald said she was inspired by the Wānaka environment, the lake and all of its beauty. Her love for the outdoors and skiing led her to settle in the town in 2005, where she lives with her husband and young family. "I see jewels when walking through forests. Nature's colour, its architecture and quiet energy, have such influence on my design and in the story-telling of the fine jewellery I create. I see a jewel as a miniature sculpture; if it's line, form and colour flow uninterrupted, it truly sings." Ms Herald's store is based at the precinct in Wānaka's town centre. She also sells online as well as through stockists in New York and Dallas, Texas. The ring was crafted using 18-carat New Zealand alluvial yellow gold. Ms Herald first discovered jewellery when studying sculpture in Mexico. The ancient Mexican architecture still influenced her work today. Cementing this new found love on her return to the United Kingdom with a bachelor of arts with honours degree in jewellery design from Central St Martins, London, she gained industry knowledge and experience through working alongside goldsmiths to the Royal family, jewellers, glass makers and fashion designers, showing her work around the UK and at London Fashion Week. Ms Herald co-founded an international online engagement ring company where she was head designer and product manager for over eight years before she founded her label, Herald, in 2016. Her respect for traditional craftsmanship and desire for each design to embody a beauty that was true to that of her clients', meant she relished her relationship with her team of craftsmen, she said.
