With dividends falling, 'yield' shares prices should start to go up.
People still need to buy power whether the economy does well or 
badly.  And with falling levels in hydro reserves due to drought, 
those companies that generate power using other means should do well, 
like for instance....Oh that's right, you just sold them.

Carter Holt has a low dividend yield.
Restaurant Brands should fit your requirements, but don't expect 
stellar growth in share price.
AirA?   They sure seem to have got into a mess in Australia.  I'd 
expect the share price to be depressed for 2-3 years.  It is hard to 
tell what is cheap when a company is making no money.   In the 
meantime you might look at picking up some Air New Zealand 
Convertible Notes (when they come out) as a way of getting income, 
while waiting for them to convert to shares just as the share price 
looks like improving in a few years time.

You shouldn't try to pick just one winner.    Try a diversified 
portfolio of half a dozen shares at least. SNOOPY
